Finale: New Dawn
Fifteen Days later.
Location: Beijing, detailed position classified.
In the communication room of command HQ, in front of Kotonoha's father there are two giant screens, link to different secret places with signals well encrypted.
Kotonoha's father: "So Japanese government had been reconstructed?"
On the right screen is Abu, his communicator in Japanese congress: "Yes. When all the evidences of their corruption and crime were broadcasted by the medias, they could do nothing but admit what they had committed. Now we have a brand-new Japan, new government presents their appreciation." He opens an exquisite box, shows Kotonoha's father a medal consisted by a gold-edged triangle, with a large golden eagle on it.
Kotonoha's father: "But we had made a mess in capital of our fatherland…"
Abu: "That's OK. There's an ancient saying: 'Compare with defending a corrupted country, the better choice is to accelerate it's abolishing in order to renew it'. Besides your operation was executed carefully, minimized casualties and property loss. The amount of illegal wealth that new government confiscated from ex-government is excessively enormous, more than sufficient to rebuild entire capital sector."
On the left screen is communicator in Chinese National Security Agency, General Zealot_Sonic: "Chinese government seizes a chance to promote Sino-Japan relationship at all factors with new Japanese government, Japanese side is also willing to do so. Thanks to you and your men's efforts. You deserve this." The general opens an exquisite box, shows a medal consisted by a large golden star, an iron-plate of regular-pentagon, a steel sickle and hammer.
Abu: "Those hostile officials of ex-government won't border you anymore. They are being charged by multiple accusations including corruption and slaughter. Now we are cleaning remaining issues, before they're finished, I suggest you temporarily change IDs and spend a vacation in foreign lands."
Doorbell rings, Commander Simcity's voice on another communicator: "Sir, your family is here." Kotonoha's father: "Let them in." Door opens, Kokoro rushes in: "お父さん！" Her father raises her with arms: "Let me see…not bad, had grew up a little again?"
Kokoro: "はい！お父さん！" Then Kotonoha and Manami come in with smile.
Kotonoha: "お父さん、私…"
Kotonoha's father: "I understand. Now nothing is better than having you here and recovered." The family is reunited happily.
Abu: "I'm jealous of you, sir. See you in a few months." Right screen returns to stand by mode.
General: "I concur. See you next time. Together, we shall bring peace and prosperity to this sector of this planet." Left screen enters stand by mode too.
Another fifteen days past.
Location: Somewhere in Sichuan province.
Endless stretch of mountains looks like a gigantic folding screen of emerald. On one of the peaks, a place without plants, a surpassingly beautiful girl with silky, haunch-length dark-purple straight hair puts a finished red sweater and a paper cup of specialized lemonade on the ground, lights them up. Watching they burn, the girl calmly says: "Good bye, Makoto-kun. I promise you I'll bravely live with happiness and health every single day, take care myself and my family. Look at me, I will not let you down." Fire fades, wind blows ash into azure, cloud-filled sky, to chase the lost soul beyond horizon.
Simcity, had been promoted to Colonel, approaches from behind: "Excuse me milady, your family is waiting."
Kotonoha turns with smile: "わかりました。ありがどございます。"
As she walks to the armored transport vehicle with her family onboard, Colonel Price appears beside Simcity, whispers to him: "Are you not to go with her? Princess is on a vacation."
Simcity slowly shakes head: "I'm princess's guard, not a prince. All I want is protecting her."
Price: "That works to me pal. Say, shall we go to a concert hall forsome Handel or Mozart stuff this weekend?"
Simcity: "I have no objections buddy." They walk to another armored transport vehicle.
Ending Theme: A Brand New Day (extracted from ACE Combat 6: Fires of Liberation)
Lyrics:
The dawn, a brand new day
The sun, beating back the endless night
A ray, of warmth, around me
At last, I see, the light
To dance, with morning birds
High trees swaying, sunlight shines so clear
So let, the clock march onward
I am safe and home, a new world is here
Oh won't you take, my hand, and fly away?
Where spirits soar, far as eyes can see
As planes draw lines in the clear blue skyway
Lift our souls, and we're free
And though we know, the dusk, will seize the skies
Shadows above, dark as they may seem
They show us why, as time, passes by, we must realize,
Now, is the time to love, is the time to live, is the time to dream
The dawn, a brand new day
The sun, beating back the endless night
So let, the clock march onward
I am safe and all is right…
Because… this is new world… is here…
