Hours later nagates wakes up to find himself in a hospital room and begins to get up but then gets a bad headache and lays back down. As he holds his head a nurse comes rushing in to check him and when he turns, he recognizes who it is. Nagate-Yamano? Yamano-Hey nagate never thought I would get to save you. Nagate-It looks that way. What happened where are my friends? Yamano-Their ok their sleeping right now. After Sidonia detected your ship coming out of hyperspace Sidonia dispatched a guard squad and brought your ship in. Nagate-I see ow…I take it you decided to become a nurse here? Yamano-I did. After I got better, I was figuring out what I wanted to do then I decided why not help people here because the fighting is only going to get worse now that we're in the lem star system. Nagate says I see then he tries to stand up but ends up falling over with Yamano catching him. Yamano-Be careful nagate you're still recovering from that hyperspace jump. Nagate-No kidding ow…Must be effects from that jump gate. Yamano-Jump gate? Nagate-We found an ancient jump gate created by an alien race that died out a long time ago. Yamano-Like the gauna? Nagate-Not exactly it's a long story. All tell you about it later for now can I go see izana? Yamano-Shore thing let me grab you a wheelchair. Nagate replies ok then after putting nagate into a wheelchair she wheels him to izana room and as they go nagate says so anything happen while we were gone? Yamano-A few of the pilots that helped Valkyrie escaped were put in the brig for a week. Nagate-Who were the pilots? Yamano-It was Sei, Tsuruuchi, and samari. Nagate-They helped Valkyrie escape. Who would have thought. Yamano-Yeah it was pretty brave of them. Their time in the brig is actually almost up they get out tomorrow. Nagate-That's good. When they're out I owe them a drink. Yamano-Maybe when you're better. Nagate replies true then laughs a little and as Yamano pushes him into a room, he sees izana laying down on a bed. Nagate-Hey lovebug. Izana-Nagate you're awake. What happened to you?

Nagate-Ah looks like the jump gate had a bigger effect on me than you girls. All be ok it's just going to take a bit longer before I'm healed. Izana replies I see then she gets up to take his hand and as he smiles izana says is it ok if we can go to the roof? Yamano-Its fine just be careful with him and no standing up. Izana smiles then says I will then she grabs his chair and wheels him to an elevator. After reaching the top they gaze out into the city as the artificial light starts to dim down then nagate says I can't believe were back. Izana replies Yeah, I never thought I'd see Sidonia again then she clenches up a bit making nagate notice. He wheels up to take hand making her smile a bit then he stands up wabbling a bit making izana say be careful nagate Yamano said not to stand. Nagate smiles then brushes her hair aside and says when have I ever listened then he kisses her.

As they do they hear haven't changed a bit have you nagate then they look to see Yamano with yuhata, En and the rest of the team. Nagate laughs then begins to fall but izana catches him making him blush then as she lifts him up izana says never thought I'd hold you like this making nagate say yeah then izana puts him back in his wheelchair then is bought back inside with the others. The next days after feeling better nagate visits tsumugi and after talking with her he goes to see his ship and is not happy. Nagate-What happened to you Valkyrie. Sasaki-Looks like your engines blew when you exited hyperspace. Nagate-I can see that. How long will it take for you to fix? As Sasaki looks at the engines, they spark making her step back and say not shore with the engines damaged like this it's going to take longer than two weeks. Nagate-Dam it that's not good…now how will I get there. Sasaki-Get where nagate? Nagate-I need to get to planet eight, there's something that might help me get back to my universe. Sasaki-How and how did you know that? Nagate-We came across an abandoned space station when we were traveling. It had coordinates to planet eight but were not shore what's there. Sasaki-Have you talked to the captain about it. Nagate gets frustrated then says the captain can go to hell. Yuhata told me the captain refused the rescue mission to come after us and when we got back, I haven't spoken to her since we returned. Sasaki-I know how you feel nagate, but you can't stay mad at the captain forever. Nagate-I'm not shore about that hm…I'm going to head home now to get some sleep.

Sasaki-Alright then. Hey tomorrow morning I might have something for you to get to planet eight. Nagate says alright and heads home else where the captain is talking to clone Ochiai about nagates return. Clone Ochiai-Everyone on the ship is relieved nagate and the others have made it back Sidonia. Since their return the movement that wanted to get rid of nagate have lost a lot of its support. The captain replies I see then she looks out the window making clone Ochiai say is something the matter. Kobayashi-Nagate knows I'm not his mother. He said if I make a move on him or his friends, he won't help me anymore. Ochiai-I see. Mind if I ask captain but how did you learn of his mother's ship the titan? Kobayashi-I learned of it from his memories. When we found his pod, we discovered that it had a function where we could look into his memories and as I looked, I saw that his mother looked like me at a younger age. Clone Ochiai-And the reason you pretended to be his mother was so he would think he was safe, and you could figure out how he got here? Kobayashi-In way yes but the goal was to find out where the titan was, but we weren't able to. Clone Ochiai-Why though? Why is it so important for you to get the titan? Kobayashi-All I know is that ship can help the human race in this universe. Clone Ochiai-I see. Back with nagate he arrives at home to find his friends already asleep with yuhata, Mia and tsumugi cuddled up together then he goes to izanas room to see her reading and says hey. Izana-Oh hey nagate how things? As nagate sits down he replies not good the Valkyries engines are shot and it's going to take two weeks for them to be repaired. Izana-I see. Nagate-Sakaki said she may have something for me to get to planet eight, but I doubt it. Izana giggles then says you never know then she closes her book then says we better get some sleep. Nagate-Yeah, we don't want to be tired. All change quick then all come join you. Izana-Sounds good. Nagate rushes off to his room and after changing he goes back to izanas room gives her a quick kiss and cuddles up together.

By morning nagate goes to cuddle in with izana but wakes up to find she's not there and as he gets up, he sees a note saying nagate come by the hanger b56 when you're up and make shore to bring your flight suit and a spare set of clothes with you you're going to need it. Nagate says what's that about then he gets up to change then grabs his bag and makes his way to the hanger. After arriving he sees the tsgumori's equipment being changed out and after walking up to it he says what's going on? Sasaki-Were switching out the head mounted cannon and the backpack engines with type 15 models because they don't use heigus particles. Nagate-Ok but won't I have less fuel though to get to planet eight? Sasaki-Not exactly c'mere there's something else I want to show you. Sasaki brings nagate to another hanger and as he enters, he sees a ship in it making him say what's this? Sasaki-It's an old cargo ship we used to use to deliver supplies when the aposimiz was flying alongside us and after it separated from us, we never needed to use it until now. Nagate-I see can you load up my fighter onto the ship we may need it. Sasaki-Shore think and there's no need for you to go on your own we already have someone that can fly it. Isn't that right shinatose? Izana-I think I can do it mam the ships systems are really easy to understand. Nagate-So this is where you were this morning you know you could have just told me. Izana- Then it would have ruined the surprise.

Nagate chuckles then yuhata comes up from behind and says listen don't forget you have no kabi avoid combat at all costs. Nagate replies I know yuhata then Tsumugi comes out from a pipe and says be careful nagate. He walks over to rest his hand on hers and says I will tsumugi. I'm sorry for leaving again. I promise when we're back will all have a big dinner together tsumugi replies yay then as he begins to board other pilots begin to come in and say let us join to more eyes will make shinatose's radar more effective. Tanba replies you guys can't handle the types fifteens and there's no more room then they hear from a door opening that's wrong isn't it. I'm sure there's some more room for one more. Tanba-Th-That voice can't be Hiyama. Hiyama-When it comes to piloting a type 15 nobody is better than me. Nagate smiles then says we be happy for you to come along making Hiyama say like wise. After boarding they then launch and as they head off tsumugi and yuhata watch from outside Sidonia then tsumugi says I'm worried about them. Yuhata-Im shore they'll be alright as long as they have each other. Besides, we sent drones past lems star the ones without kabi and Higgs particles to monitor the ship. Tsumugi replies that's good at least then stares out back towards the stars making yuhata a bit worried. Back on the ship izana, nagate and Hiyama watch out the window as the ship departs Sidonia and makes its way to planet eight then Hiyama says it's been a long time since I left Sidonia. Nagate-I had no idea you were a pilot Hiyama that was a surprise. Hiyama-A lot of things happened. Izana then whispers maybe we shouldn't. Nagate- Ehh? No way. You said you were ask her…come on. Izana replies alright then turns to hiyama and studders E-Exuse me . I-I-I-If it's alright with y-you that is if you feel like it…Hiyama- What is it? Izana studders no well then nagate says were you born like this make izana hide behind nagate. Hiyama replies of course not then thinks for a moment and says fine all show you. She then takes off her pilot suit to show her back then says nagate push the fur away above my spine and replies I'm sorry. Nagate-What is this? Hiyama-This body is just a life support system.

My true body is inside and if left it I would die. Nagate-I see I'm sorry for asking you something like this. In my universe you're actually a real alien bear and was the one who took care of me. Hiyama replies I see then izana goes to the window to see a small com relay go by then Hiyama says non-Higgs communications can't cover large distances. So, we'll have to set up come-relays at regular intervals. Nagate-I see. Hiyama-Now then it'll take some time before we reach our destination, we'll take turns sleeping in shifts. Nagate and izana reply ok then they head to their bunks and as they are getting in izana says do you think she was telling the truth? Nagate-You think she'd lie about it there's no way not Hiyama. By the way, where will she sleep, I don't think she could fit in these. Izana-I guess not. Good night nagate. Nagate-Night izana. As they lay in their bucks nagate says hey izana? Izana-Hm Nagate-Thank you for coming I couldn't have asked for anyone else, Izana smiles then says all always be here by side nagate. Nagate smiles then goes sleep. Back on Sidonia Ochiai wonder what nagate is up to then mako says did are spy manage to learn anything while they were gone. Sakiko-No whatever area they were in corrupted the recorder in the chip.

Mako-Dam it we could have at least learned what happened out there and why nagate took an old ship to get to planet 8. Ochiai-All those questions will be answered in due time. Sakiko-How? Ochiai-Even though the chip could not record the events that happened are in her memories and we already have a way to extract them. Mako-Brilliant father. As they plan a day goes by and nagate has arrived at planet 8 in stable orbit. Izana-Alright we're here nagate. The ship is in stable orbit. Nagate-Good all begin scanning the area for any structures. Hiyama-What do you hope to discover nagate and why here? Nagate-When we were traveling back to lem we came across a derelict space station which had coordinates to this gas giant and what I hope to find…maybe a way back to my universe. As nagate looks down with sadness izana puts her hand over his making him smile then he hears structure detect at 0,12,9,5. Nagate pulls up a hollow of the planet then says it looks like it's another space station but this one is different.

Izana-There's no way will be able to get to it even if the guards are equipped with mk 15 equipment the asteroids and wind speed would tear you up. As nagate says dam it his arm glows up of the planet. Izana-What's your arm doing nagate? Nagate replies I think it's calculating a safe route through the planet then he heads for the deployment hanger with izana saying nagate wait. As izana enters the hanger she sees him getting into his fighter then says your longbow fighter are you shore you want to use that to get there. Nagate-It's the only thing that can maneuver through those tight turns. Don't worry, izana, all be ok. Izana-Alright then. Let's get ready to launch. Nagate replies yeah then he preps for takeoff as izana uses the deployment claw to grab onto his fighter. After the hanger opens up izana moves the claw out into space as nagates engines come online then he says all systems go ready for launch. Before nagate launches he says izana if something happens down and you lose contact with me wait twenty fours then head back to Sidonia. Izana-WHAT IM NOT GOING TO THAT NAGATE. Nagate-Please izana it's dangerous enough out here being this close to the gauna cluster and even if we don't have heigus particle they may still attack please izana promise me. Izana hesitates then says I promise nagate make him say thank you izana. Nagate-Alright all systems double checked I'm ready to go. Izana-Be careful down there nagate. Nagate-I will and don't worry I got my lucky pendant with me. Izana smiles then says releasing clamps in 3,2,1 then presses a button on a console to release the longbow. As nagate falls into the atmosphere he then tilts his fighters down and speeds into the direction his arm navigation system points to. Izana-How are you doing nagate? Nagate-Wind is a bit choppy, but my fighter seems to be handling it well. Mia-It looks that way. Nagate-Wait what the Mia you snuck on board what did I say about doing that. Mia-I'm sorry but I had to come, something was calling me. Nagate-Calling you what do you mean? Mia-I don't know how to explain it, but I just know I need to be there. Nagate-Ok. Better hold on tight winds are starting to pick up. Mia-ok Izana-Everything ok nagate? Nagate-Everything good just dealing with a stowaway. Izana-What who stowed away? Wait don't tell me its Mia. Nagate-Your correct. Izana-What is she doing there? Nagate-She told me something was calling her. Izana-Calling her? What's calling her?

Nagate-I don't know but will find outonce were at the coordinates. Izana-Roger. As nagate begins to say where about to enter bullets come out of nowhere and nagate takes evasive maneuvers to avoid getting hit by them. Izana-What's going on nagate? Nagate-I'm taking heavy fire from…what the? Izana-What wrong nagate? Nagate-It's the same type of drone we fought off in the other star systems but this one is more modified. Izana-Can you defeat it? Nagate- Lets find out. Hold on Mia. Mia- Already on it. Nagate makes tight turns as he avoids the bullets and lasers from the alien drone until puts the brakes on and manages to get behind then opens fire on it. Nagate manages to take down its shield then destroy the drone but before it blows up it launches something at nagate. He looks out his cockpit to see something has attached to his wing making him say that's not good. Izana-What's wrong nagate? Before he could answer the device goes off shutting down his main systems and begins to plummet. Nagate-Shit definitely not good…mayday mayday this is longbow one I'm going down repeat I'm going down. Izana, do you copy. Nagate turns switches up and tries to start the systems again but to no avail as he continues to plummet. Izana-Nagate to do you copy are you there nagate.

Hiyama-What's going on izana? Izana-I don't know after nagate destroyed the drone fighter his beacon went offline and I cant contact him wait…I'm getting something. Izana hears static over the radio then hears a mayday from nagate. She tries to make contact with him, but the signal ends up cutting out and izana tears up from it then says nagate in sadness. Back with nagate his fighter continues tumbling down, but he manages to gain control by using wings to adjust him then says we need to get that thing off the wing. Mia-How? Nagate-By using the asteroids to knock it off. Mia-Isn't that dangers. Nagate replies probably then quickly adjusts his fighter as he approaches and once near it the asteroid knocks the device off. His fighter comes back to life and as the engines come online Mia yells nagate look out. Nagate looks down to see the space station below him then yells OH SHIT HANG ON MIA. He quickly pulls back on the stick to avoid crashing into it then sees hanger and flies towards it but ends up flying in too quickly. He dos a one eighty and pushes his thrusters to the max to avoid hitting the gantry as he comes to a stop. Nagate-phew that was close.

Mia-Ah nagate something is smoking in the back. Nagate replies what then looks behind to see his middle engine smoking then says oh no. He quickly unbuckles then after getting out he sees that his middle engine has taken damage. Nagate-Dam it that's not good. Mia-Will we still be able to get back? Nagate-I'm not shore we need that middle engine to escape the outer atmosphere. Mia-Can we fix it? Nagate-I'm not shore. Let's worry about that later, right now let's find out what this station is. Mia replies ok then nagate pulls out a flashlight and begins to search the station. He walks through dark hallways but is surprised to see the inside of the station is still intact then says strange these hallways almost look brand new like someone has been cleaning them and maintaining them. Mia-Yeah but who though… maybe repair bots. Nagate replies maybe then hears something from another room making him pull out pistol. Mia says what is then nagate shh and charges up his gun as he approaches towards a door until someone comes out surprising him by yelling you here and tackles him to the ground making him scream. Teruru-Oh I can't believe you finally here at last I just wanna hug you and squeeze you and hold you. Nagate-Alright ok…would you just let go of me.

Teruru-Oh sorry sorry… it's just that I've been alone on this station for so long not being able to talk to anybody is kind of stressing. Nagate lifts his eyebrow then responds I see then teruru begins to say my name is ah…teruru I'm teruru caretaker of this space station and… what's your name again. As nagate begins to pick up his blaster he says I'm nagate then teruru takes his hand and as she shakes it, she says it's nice to finally meet you noggy. Nagate-Its nagate. Teruru-Sorry. Nagate-Huh look teruru I'm kind of in a rush. I need to find the command center on this space station so I can connect my ship in orbit. Teruru-Sorry the command center is locked down the only way in is with ah key or was it a passcode I can't remember what professor renho said. Nagate-Wait, wait you knew professor renho? Teruru- Yeah, she was nice but was also very busy didn't get much time to spend with her. Nagate-But that would mean you have to know why this station is so important in this system. Teruru-Well it's all lit…little fuzzy. Wait I…I remember yes, the weapons…weapons were wiping out every planet with heigus…heigus particle.

So, professor renho developed a gateway to…to pass through to another universe. But to power it requires a specific dah…data corrupted. Teruru begins to malfunction making nagate yell her name then he slaps her in the face snaping her out of it then she says did you just slap me. Nagate-Wait wait what about the gateway? Teruru-That hurt a bit. Nagate-In order to power it requires a specific dah… Teruru-Sorry my memory has been a bit fuzzy these last few years I can only remember certain parts. Nagate-I know what that's like. Mia-Maybe there's a way to recover them. Nagate-How? Before she could answer teruru snatch's Mia from nagates shoulder then says aren't you just the cutest little robot ever then she begins smothering her with hugs. Mia-Ah nagate little help. Nagate-Carful teruru don't break her. Teruru-Sorry I just got super excited to meet another robot. Mia replies its ok then teruru gives her back to nagate and then she leads nagate to the command center.

Back on the ship izana is frantically fiddling with the radio to reestablish contact with nagate but to no avail until Hiyama comes out from behind saying any word. Izana replies Nothing I can't establish any connection with him then clenches up, but Hiyama comforts her by hugging her and saying it'll be alright I have faith that he made it down alright. Izana replies I hope so then she wipes away her tears then looks at the timer then says in her head ten hours left please hurry nagate. Back on the station nagate arrives at the door to the command center then teruru says here's the door to the command center. Nagate-You don't say. So how do we get in again? You said we need a key or something? Teruru replies yes right here and points to the doors console showing a keyhole. Nagate says wait that looks like then he takes out the disc artifact from bag and says I wonder. He puts the disc artifact into the slot then begins to spin and as it does the doors open up making him jump back. Teruru-WOW I can't believe you got it to open where did you get that key. After nagate grabs the disk, he replies it's a long story then he proceeds through the doorway to see consoles and windows covered up then sees another key slot. After putting it in the disk the systems come to life and the covers on windows retract revealing planet 8 stormy atmosphere. Mia-That quite a sight. Nagate- Yeah but I hope will be able to get through it though. Teruru-Wow the command center is really big. Nagate-Have you never seen the command center before teruru? Teruru replies Nope never been here then as she wanders around nagate whispers something doesn't add up. Mia-What does nagate? Nagate-Teruru you've been on this station for years watching over it and yet she's never seen the inside of the command center. Mia-Maybe someone wanted her to wait to see at the right moment. Nagate replies Yeah but who then proceeds to the consoles and says there got to be something here that explains what the purpose of this station is. After pressing a few buttons, a hologram of an alien scientist shows and begins to talk.

Renho-Hello nagate if you are seeing this message then that means you have made it to this station and have met teruru. The reason this space station was built was to help construct the dimension portable or gateway to help escape the weapons by traveling to another universe to save the rest of our species. The reason it's called the dimension gate is because it does not use heigus energy to power it the only way activate it is with dimensional energy and can only be collected at a very high speed near this star and as safeguard the only way to pass through is with a time key we crafted from a special type of crystal that was on our world.

Before we lost out world, we created the blades you called kabi from the remains of a dead weapons core we found then put them into non heigus artifacts to avoid detection then launch them into space along with several different time keys for the younger races to use against the weapons…I feel like I am solely responsible for what happened here in this universe which is why when my people crossover I will give them an artificial copy of myself for them to take a long when they find a new home to settle. And in the last years of the time I have left, I will help our universal traveler prepare for when you go meet him. Farwell nagate and watch over teruru for me.

As the hologram disappears nagate steps back then teruru says wow that's incredible then she sees nagate with a smile and tears then says is something wrong nagate. Nagate-Haha no nothing wrong it's just I finally know how to get back my universe and where mia ai functions came from. Mia- I'm a copy of that scientist? Nagate-It looks that's way but at least you now where you came from and who created you. Teruru- Yeah, it's quite amazing, I think. Nagate-I should probably contact my ship in orbit now to let them know im ok. Teruru-Ok Nagate-Izana its nagate do you copy…do you guys read? Izana-Nagate you're ok oh thank God what happened? Nagate-Before I took out the drone it fired some kind of emp device at my ship and knocked out my main systems. I was able to knock it off but after we landed on the station my main engine took some damage. Izana-Oh no will you be able get off the planet? Nagate- I can maybe get near the atmosphere but I'm not shore if my secondary engines will have enough juice. Izana begins to say maybe we can use the retrieval crane then teruru jumps in and says hi there are you nagates friend it's so nice to meet you? Izana lifts her eyebrow then izana replies it's nice to meet you to? Nagate who is this?

Nagate-This is teruru she's the android caretaker of this space station. Izana, I've made a hug discovery down here that's going to change everything. Izana-Really that's amazing news. Hiyama-Nagate are ships sensors have detected a massive storm heading your way if you're going to leave you better do it now. Nagate-Copy that, Hiyama. I'm heading back now. Hiyama-Roger that. Izana-Be careful nagate. Nagate replies I will then after he cuts the communication teruru looks down with sadness then says I guess that means all be by myself again? Nagate looks at her surprised then after thinking he says why don't you come with me and stay at my house with my friends. Teruru looks up surprised then says are you shore then nagate replies don't worry I'm shore my friends will be more than happy to have you. Teruru gets all happy from hearing what nagate said then she hugs him and says Thank you thank you. Nagate grunts from her hug then says ah teruru you're squeezing me to tight making her release him and say oh sorry. As nagate cracks his back he replies its fine. Come on, let's go see if we can fix my fighters engine. Teruru-I think I might be able to help with that. Nagate replies ok then teruru leads him to the hanger and as they walk nagate notices something up with Mia. Nagate-You ok Mia you seem a little down. Mia-I'm not shore how I feel.

Now that I know who I am what will become of my life now. Nagate-Hey just because renho created you doesn't mean you have to follow in her footsteps your life is your own just like mine. Mia smiles then she hugs nagate on the side of his face saying thank you nagate making him hold on to her. After arriving at the hanger teruru begins to work on nagates engine then once done she says that should do it. Nagate-You shore this patch will hold? Teruru- I'm shore. I'm ninety eight percent it will work. Nagate-And the other 2 percent? Teruru-We blow up before we reach the outer atmosphere. Nagate replies in a sarcastic great then after he puts his helmet and gets in, he says you ready to go? Teruru-Yes but where will I sit? Nagate-Sit on my lap here you'll be more safe then sitting in the back. Teruru replies ok then after getting in nagate closes his cockpit then powers up his systems and says you better hang on then nagate punches the thrust control up making the fighter launch out of the hanger fast.
