00:10:48you're home son
00:10:50that's all that matters
00:10:53I heard everything
00:10:55so that's it Zara
00:10:57you think I'm not good enough for you
00:10:59that's the reason you want to call off the engagement right?
00:11:01are you deaf or something?
00:11:03fine
00:11:04fine
00:11:05I'll say it again
00:11:07Zara was a warrior
00:11:08personally promoted by the president
00:11:10only someone of the Lane group air is worthy of her
00:11:14you're nothing
00:11:14I have no intention of marrying Jasper Lane
00:11:17but whichever man I do marry
00:11:20Zara Voss is going to marry a hero
00:11:23a real one
00:11:25oh?
00:11:26and in your professional opinion and what makes a real hero?
00:11:30someone like
00:11:32Thunder Rider
00:11:36someone who becomes lightning in the middle of a storm
00:11:39who
00:11:40against all odds
00:11:42punches through alien fleets
00:11:43ends entire invasions
00:11:45and drags this planet back from the edge
00:11:49that kind of man
00:11:50the kind who stands strong between humanity and extinction
00:11:54that
00:11:56is the only man
00:11:58I am willing to call my husband
00:12:00that's right
00:12:01Zara is destined for someone who matters
00:12:03not
00:12:04someone that
00:12:05two broke-ass nobodies
00:12:07pulled out of an orphanage
00:12:09you don't even know who your real parents were
00:12:15oh my god
00:12:16what's happening to him?
00:12:18that lightning
00:12:19how does he have the same power as Thunder Rider?
00:12:30Kyle
00:12:31you just got back from the war flood
00:12:33please don't let this break you
00:12:35son
00:12:37let it go
00:12:38let her go
00:12:43I must have been seeing things
00:12:44Kyle's just a soldier
00:12:45there's no way he has lightning abilities like Thunder Rider
00:12:49oh my god
00:12:51Kyle
00:12:51that is pathetic
00:12:54one girl breaks up with you making your hair stand on ear
00:12:56if that's all the spine you've got
00:12:58you don't belong on a battlefield
00:13:00you certainly don't belong next to her
00:13:03you're going to die a low rank grunt
00:13:07a low rank grunt
00:13:09so what?
00:13:11out on the front line
00:13:13the ones taking care in warship fire with their bodies
00:13:16half of them are Agus
00:13:18the other half are the same grumps you just spit on
00:13:21every single one of them is bleeding for this planet
00:13:24tell me where hierarchy fits into that
00:13:31Kyle, I get it
00:13:32you just got publicly drumped
00:13:34and you're hurting
00:13:35but the gap between us is real
00:13:37and huge
00:13:39you can't argue it away
00:13:41right
00:13:42sure
00:13:43what's so funny?
00:13:44it's just your precious Thunder Rider
00:13:46what makes you think a man like that
00:13:48would ever look twice at you?
00:13:52you're right
00:13:53a man like Thunder Rider is out of my reach
00:13:55but so are you
00:13:57I am not marrying you
00:13:58I am marrying a hero
00:14:00period
00:14:02enough
00:14:03enough
00:14:04our Kyle just doesn't have that kind of luck
00:14:08Zara
00:14:08I think they want more money

00:14:25I'm not ungrateful
00:14:26everything you did for me growing up
00:14:28I'll always carry it with me
00:14:29but marriage is not something I'll rush into
00:14:32I'll give you every dollar I have as compensation
00:14:34if that's not enough

00:14:36and I'll find a way to pay it
00:14:39but this engagement
00:14:41ends tonight
00:14:42Zara
00:14:43the Reiner's don't need your compensation
00:14:47those average soldiers who died on the front line
00:14:50in your eyes
00:14:51maybe they were ordinary
00:14:53in mine
00:14:54they're the only heroes that matters
00:15:04Zara
00:15:06I knew it
00:15:08allowing you to handle these low lucks by yourself

00:24:32I stand before you as a peaceful Adireo.
00:24:35I am Lyrian. Allow me.
00:24:39An Ariella? Fast as lightning. Plasma arrows, and they have X-ray vision!
00:24:45Miss Voss, forgive me for saying so, but that figure of yours is a work of art.
00:24:52The black lace harness you've got on under your battle suit, particularly tasteful.
00:24:58Up close, your body looks even more dangerous than your blades.
00:25:04You've done South Sazing? Because that was your last view of anything.
00:25:14There you are. Security's blocking off the east side now.
00:25:18Kyle, what are you looking at?
00:25:42You want to test a human body's speed against me?
00:25:47Today, my defensive weapon is going to be Cupid's arrow.
00:25:53And you won't get away from it.
00:26:08Arrows go!
00:26:14Fire!
00:26:16Fire!
00:26:19Oh God, there's no way she can avoid those arrows.
00:26:23No.

00:26:27No.

00:29:35Charons just kill you Zivas break you first they're the real nightmare that's a
00:29:40Zeta who wants to take over earth get off our planet we don't want you here get out

00:30:10you
00:30:11you
00:30:23you
00:30:37I win. By your own rules, that means I get a place in the Aegis Alliance.
00:30:42And to take you as my wife. To wash my clothes and bear my children. Correct.
00:30:50Alien bastard. You wish.
00:30:54Promise made, promise broken. Humans never disappoint.
00:30:59Well, I'll give your species one last chance.
00:31:04If anyone here can defeat me, I don't want this woman anymore.
00:31:10Let's go, Mom, Dad.
00:31:12But what about Zara?
00:31:14What happens to her isn't any of our business. She's out of my reach, remember?
00:31:17Come on, son. Let's go home. Your mother and I will make you something good for dinner.
00:31:23So I was right. All of you are cowards. Then you're just wasting Earth's air.
00:31:31I might as well exterminate you all here.
00:31:36Doesn't matter anyway. Your inferior species will be wiped out by the Zetas soon enough.
00:31:50Don't let him scare you. This freak is using mind tricks. He's bluffing.
00:31:57We've got numbers on our side.
00:32:14I'm the one who is bluffing. I'm garbage. I'm garbage.
00:32:26Stop him! Stop him!
00:32:29Stop him!
00:32:41Stop!
00:32:43WhatON!
00:32:43I'll kill you.
00:32:45Noooo!
00:32:50I'll kill him.
00:32:59I'll kill you.
00:33:01Note the rest is set aside.
00:33:07I'll kill you so easily.
00:33:08Strike you.
00:33:09You'll kill me so easily.
00:33:09Perfectly!
00:33:26Son, you can't fight that thing!
00:33:28Don't throw your life away!
00:33:46This planet is our home, human and alien together!
00:33:53There is no room here for filth like you.
00:33:56For sake of everyone here, I am going to break you in half.
00:34:01You weak things talk too much.
00:34:08Die!
00:34:10Meteor smash!
00:34:31Starcore Barriers!
00:34:47Infernal friends!
00:35:03The true tragedy of carbon-based life is that you cannot even comprehend the depths of your own insignificance.
00:35:53That's it? That's the best you had? Honestly, that meat mountain wasn't even as impressive as my new fiancée here.
00:36:05You disgusting monster!
00:36:08Look at all you trembling little insects. It seems taking Earth is going to be even easier than we expected.
00:36:21Kyle! What are you doing?
00:36:36Not your turn, kid. Old guys like me still got work to do. Watch my daughter for me, will ya?
00:36:51Out of real soldiers, are we? Sending up a rusted cripple to die.
00:36:56This rusted cripple is still gonna crack your ugly snail head wide open!
00:37:06Children's tricks.
00:37:25He hit him! Nice shot, old soldier!
00:37:29Foolish human.
00:37:34A daughter?
00:37:37Kneel.
00:37:41Right in front of her.
00:37:43Slit your own throat.
00:37:46Daddy, no!
00:37:52Get out of the fire!
00:37:56Get out of the fire!
00:38:02Earth doesn't belong to your kind.
00:38:07It will.
00:38:18I have fought in a hundred wars.
00:38:22I have torn apart a thousand monsters who came for this planet just like you.
00:38:27Every time I won.
00:38:30This time, for my daughter.
00:38:32For everyone here who has ever shared a meal on this rock.
00:38:36As long as I am breathing,
00:38:39you do not get to put one foot on our home.
00:38:44Don't worry.
00:38:45Right after I kill you,
00:38:48I'll send your daughter to keep you Paparni.
00:38:50Let me go! Let me go save my daddy!
00:38:53Daddy said he'd be there when I grew up!
00:38:56He promised he wouldn't leave me!
00:38:58Baby.
00:38:59I love you.
00:39:01Don't look. Don't look.
00:39:02Close your eyes. Close your eyes!
00:39:05You so much as touch one hair on her head.
00:39:08I promise.
00:39:09I will come back from the dead and rip you apart with my teeth.
00:39:38You want to hurt my family, my neighbors. Take our home from us, you go through me first.
00:39:46What is a hero? Does a hero always have to be the strongest fighter in the room?
00:39:51Those average soldiers who died on the front line?
00:39:54In your eyes, maybe they were ordinary.
00:39:57In mine, they're the only heroes that matters.
00:40:01Kyle, you were right.
00:40:04Real heroes aren't measured by money or power.
00:40:08A real hero is anyone willing to die so that this planet can live.
00:40:25Fragile carbon-based thing.
00:40:28You lifeforms are so annoyingly stubborn.
00:40:31You want to be a hero so badly, let me grant your wish!
00:40:41material.
00:40:42Real morals are so gorgeous.
00:40:54We will not give up this planet.
00:40:59Save your speeches for hell!
00:41:10My boy! My boy! God, why didn't you take me instead?
00:41:42This is what happens when you resist. Now, as my future wife, you alone will be permitted
00:41:49to survive this purge. The price of that privilege is watching your species and their filthy city
00:41:55burn to ash by my hand.
00:42:03We're done! We're all going to die!
00:42:10Down my wards!
00:42:23Break!
00:42:51That's the thunder flame, thunder rider, did he come?
00:42:55This power level, impossible, who, who is there?
00:43:07A pathetic display.
00:43:10You think throwing a piece of electrified scrap metal changes anything?
00:43:14This planet is already doomed.
00:43:16There is no escaping.
00:43:17Show yourself.
00:43:18One chance.
00:43:19Step forward voluntarily, or this entire city will burn due to your cowardice.
00:43:25Will it?
00:43:29Kyle?
00:43:32Kyle, what are you doing here?
00:43:33He'll kill you!
00:43:34Go!
00:43:35Get down!
00:43:36Kyle, did you hear me?
00:43:37Get out of here!
00:43:38We have an engagement to discuss, remember?
00:43:40And besides, what I want to do is my call, not yours.
00:43:44I haven't approved your engagement to Zolsys.
00:43:47So technically, I'm still your fiancé.
00:43:49I am ordering you to leave.
00:43:51Go home!
00:43:55If I'm still your fiancé, why are you up here raffing yourself?
00:43:59Off to whoever wins this stupid tournament?
00:44:01Where exactly do I fit into that plan?
00:44:04You...
00:44:05That is not the conversation we are having right now!
00:44:07And you are not playing the hero in front of this monster!
00:44:11Get down!
00:44:12If anything happens to you, what would your parents do?
00:44:15I'll be fine.
00:44:18Kairus, watching us level the Cairn fleet wasn't enough of a hint for you, was it?
00:44:22Earth is closed to people like you.
00:44:25Still as arrogant as ever.
00:44:30Kyle, what weight?
00:44:31That's Thunderrider's weapon!
00:44:33And the field around it will fry you to ashes!
00:44:36Back up!
00:44:43Thunderrider.
00:44:44So you finally came out to play.
00:44:50If you came here to die, I won't keep you waiting.
00:44:55Arrogant human.
00:44:56I'll teach you what you really are.
00:45:05Thunderstrike!
00:45:12Impossible!
00:45:46Did you see that?! He just blew that monster across the plaza!
00:45:50That's lightning!
00:45:51Thunderrider's lightning!
00:45:53Thunderrider's lightning!
00:45:53If he can use Thunderrider's weapon, he is Thunderrider!
00:45:57Thunderrider, he's really here!
00:45:59He came to save us!
00:46:00We're going to live!
00:46:01Earth is going to live!
00:46:04Kyle...
00:46:06He's Thunderrider?!
00:46:09I will kill you!
00:46:12I will kill you!
00:46:18Thunderrider!
00:46:23Thunderstorm!
00:46:27Thunderstorm!

00:53:55handsome he stays safe earth stays safe everyone wins are you insane the thunder serum is fused with
00:54:02his genome at this point if you force a purge you'd be killing him how is that any different from
00:54:06murder
00:54:08madam president a general doesn't have the luxury of being sentimental one man's life for the permanent
00:54:16safety of an entire planet that's the math you're a monster

00:55:16one word from you and this command center becomes nova's tomb

01:00:07Nova, you lost.
01:00:13Nova, your power cells are empty.
01:00:16Your line is broken.
01:00:17Your resolve is nothing but melted scrap.
01:00:20Your reign is over!
01:00:30Who is?
01:00:32Who is it?
01:00:41He's here.
01:00:50Kyle, about time.
01:00:53Although, I'm sending you the maintenance bill for that wall.
01:00:59No problem, Madam President.
01:01:04I may not be rich, but I still have more money than the Lane Corporation will after all this.
01:01:08So, are you going to keep giving the long, boring speech version of your last words, or do you want
01:01:14to skip ahead to dying?
01:01:21Kyle Rader.
01:01:22Kyle Rader.
01:01:22Today I will crush every bone in your body, one at a time.
01:01:27We've got a score to settle.
01:01:29Done with the speeches?
01:01:37Same tired old trick.
01:01:45No!
01:01:47No!
01:01:49No!
01:01:51No!
01:01:55No!
01:01:56No!
01:02:02No!
01:02:06No!
01:02:06No!
01:02:0812, tube.
01:02:09Number one!
01:02:11Two and I were listening by.
01:02:13Enjoy the last breath of your planet!
01:02:17GOD
01:02:23All there will be over your heads is an endless abyss and total silence!
01:02:57You think hiding the sky will end this?
01:03:01I'll split it back open for you!
01:03:09Break!
01:03:22NO! IMPOSSIBLE!
01:03:36Nova believed in you, and you used her trust to sell us to Ravagers.
01:03:41Kyle Reindon, you think this is over? One needle, just one.
01:03:45Your thunder serum collapses. You evaporate. No more superhero. No more Thunder Rider.
01:03:56Die!
01:03:57Die!
01:04:11Zara!
01:04:12You shallow little gold digger.
01:04:16You're suddenly protecting him because he's got superpowers.
01:04:20Is that it?
01:04:22If he were still a slum rat, you would have kicked him to the curb like garbage.
01:04:27You don't love him!
01:04:29You love Thunder Rider!
01:04:33Kyle, I-
01:04:34So what? She wants the man who saves the world.
01:04:38I happen to be that man. I'm honored to be the only one she ever needs.
01:04:43YOU!
01:04:44What? Jealous?
01:04:47Then why don't you save the world yourself?
01:04:50Oh, that's right. You're a traitor who's about to die hated by his home.
01:04:54I'm going to tear you both apart!
01:04:59Zara, ready?
01:05:02Anytime.
01:05:031
01:05:042
01:05:082
01:05:082
01:05:323
01:05:322
01:05:324
01:05:325
01:05:325
01:05:49Did Thunderrider save us again?
01:05:55We won!
01:05:57Long live her!
01:06:11The Aegis Joint Fleet, under the proud command of Thunderrider, has secured final victory
01:06:16in the Mobula Spectre.
01:06:18After four years of interstellar campaigning, our hero is finally home.
01:06:24Four years.
01:06:25God knows what those two kids went through.
01:06:28The war is over now, but where are they?
01:06:30Patience.
01:06:31Our returning heroes are getting quite the parade.
01:06:34That takes time.
01:06:35Trust me, the second they catch a whiff of your ribs, they could be a galaxy away in a
01:06:40starfighter, and they'd still divert course.
01:06:51Dad, Mom, we're home.
01:06:54Grandpa, Grandma, we're back!
01:06:56Oh my gosh!
01:06:57My babies!
01:06:59Look at you!
01:07:00You went out to destroy an alien empire and came back with reinforcements!
01:07:04I did not come back with Monmouth.
01:07:05It didn't come back with shock us.
01:07:06I said, I did not encounter the truth compared to the트를.
01:07:09Just another way.
01:07:09I took anotheruş of thelvania.
01:07:09When he was Evasley, who chose to be interested in this,
01:07:09And my boy, artist, I got that a horse.
01:07:10Everything were so 불�itating.
