Hitomi: Was it a dream or an illusion? I met Princess Millerna in the Capital of Asturia,
Palas... ...and he saw his brother again. An ominous vision about an attack against him
hasn't ended yet. This is Palas, a beautiful city, which smells of the ocean.
//Escaflowne is surrounded by 3 Guymelefs in a large stadium.
Sajimas: What a good deal to fight against a kid.
Bounty Hunter: The one who draws first blood is supposed to get half the prize, right?
Mercenary: Guess I'll be having a good drink tonight.
Merle: Master Van...
Sajimas: Prepare yourself!
//The three Guymelefs charge Escaflowne.
-------------------
Unexpected Partings
-------------------
//Escaflowne knocks the sword out of his first attackers hands and slams the hilt of his sword
into it's energist. The next attacker is blocked and has his energist bashed in as well. The
final attacker charges Escaflowne, but his energist is impaled on Escaflowne's sword.
Bounty Hunter: S... so strong.
//As his Guymelef hits the ground, so does the sword.
//Aston and Meiden look in shock. Allen claps.
Merle: Master Van won!
Millerna: Excellent.
//Van gets out of Escaflowne.
Aston: He only destroyed the Energists.
Hitomi: Your majesty! That wasn't a competition! It...
//Allen gets in front of her.
Hitomi: ...wasn't fair...
Allen: Three against one seems inappropriate for a fight between knights.
Aston: What're you talking about? I was showing my respects to Ispano's Guymelef.
Allen: Such a...
Van: It's alright. Sometimes, you're forced to fight against many opponents in a real fight.
Aston: You're indeed the King of Fanelia, famed for valor. That was a brave statement.
Meiden: I can understand why Zaibach wnats it. That Melef would sell for a high a price.
Aston: Price estimate...? That's just like you.
//That night, Aston toasts to Escaflowne.
Aston: Escaflowne... what a wonderful Guymelef it is.
Meiden: It has the beauty to enchant people's hearts. Speaking of beauty, it can't surpass
Princess Millerna or Princess Eries's beauty.
Millerna: Oh, Meiden...
Advisor: Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Zaibach might get wind of it because of its beauty.
Aston: What should we do?
Advisor2: How about camouflaging Escaflowne as one of our Guymelefs?
Aston: I see. A forest is the best place to hide a tree...?
Advisor2: The factory is ready.
Aston: What do you think, King of Fanelia?
Van: I'll leave it to you.
//Van gets up and leaves.
Hitomi: Van...
Aston: Excessive beauty is a sin, don't you think, Allen?
Meiden: Your name is Hitomi, right?
Hitomi: Y...yes.
Meiden: I heard that you're Allen's companion. Where are you from?
Hitomi: I...I'm...
Millerna: I know. It's mysterious... I hear that she's from a far country with unusual customs.
//Hitomi gives Millerna a dirty look and drinks from her wine glass.
Hitomi: This is good.
Meiden: She's unusual indeed, drinking Vioner in one gulp.
Allen: Princess, that's not an appropriate subject for this occasion.
Millerna: Meaning what?
Allen: It's only about a maid, is it not?
//Hitomi drinks more.
Millerna: Then, Allen, why don't we have a talk? You didn't come to the bazaar.
Allen: I'm sorry, but once I feel relaxed I will.
Millerna: Promise me, Allen.
Eries: Allen, Millerna's gotten engaged to Meiden's first son.
Hitomi: Is that true!
Millerna: Sister...
Eries: I thought that's what you were going to talk about.
Allen: That's good news. Congradulations, Princess.
Millerna: I haven't accepted yet. Father's gone ahead of me...
Aston: It's for your happiness...
Millerna: Besides, I haven't seen him in years.
Meiden: He stays on board ship, and he never comes home. He has to at least show his face on the
date of the marriage, I guess.
Hitomi thinks to herself as she drinks once again.
Hitomi: Allen's free.
//Meanwhile, in the Floating Fortress Dilandau scratches at a wine bottle with a knife then
throws the knife at it, causing it to smash on the ground. He gets up maniacally.
Dilandau: Folken! I hate waiting.
Folken: I know roughly where the dragon is. You don't have to rush.
Dilandau: Why don't you capture the dragon now? Lord Dornkirk will appreciate that.
//The door opens.
Gatti: I'm coming in.
Dilandau: What happened?
Gatti: Sir. His Excellency, General Adelfos has sent us a message.
Dilandau: From His Excellency Adelfos...? Read it.
Gatti: Yes, sir. "We're ordered to occupy Freid. We'll head for Asturia with my army."
Folken: One of the Four Generals himself...? The location of the power spot has been found...
huh?
Dilandau: Then, what Lord Dornkirk's been looking for was finally...
Gatti: "The Destiny Predictor spotted the shadow of the dragon. Capture it before the operation
begins."
Dilandau: Alright!
Gatti: Postscript... "Don't have too much fun." That was...
//Dilandau slaps Gatti.
Gatti: That was all.
Folken: Our army has to use Asturia's port as a cardinal point to advance to Freid. He's advising
you not to upset Asturia with your careless actions.
Dilandau: Why don't we seize the port? I just want to repay my debt to him.
Folken: You can have revenge after you capture him.
Dilandau: Can you bring your brother before me?
Folken: I am the man who destroyed my homeland.
//Allen brings Hitomi to bed and puts the covers over her.
Eries: Allen...
Allen: Princess Eries... Princess, what is it?
Eries: Don't fascinate Millerna any more. I know Millerna's tempted by you, but you're...
...you're confusing her with Marlene. Millerna resembles her more and more everyday. It's
reasonable to remember my sister. But Millerna isn't her. I don't want to see Millerna in
sadness. Women have to grieve all the time.
Allen: I'll never fall in love again.
//Eries sees Hitomi.
Eries: Liar.
//She leaves.
//Meanwhile on the roof, Van practices with his sword. Allen arrives and sees him.
Allen: Van. I'll play your opponent.

Eyecatch

//Van and Allen battle.
Allen: His skill has improved drastically in a short period of time. However...
//Van charges Allen, but Allen blocks. Allen pushes him back.
Allen: His style is too desperate. At this rate... He'll endanger himself
//Allen pushes Van into a column and knocks the sword out of his hands. Millerna, who had been
watching, claps.
Millerna: Your swordplay was beautiful as usual, Allen.
Allen: Princess, this isn't the time for a lady to be wandering around.
Millerna: Oh, but this isn't the time for practicing the sword either.
//Van picks up his sword and leaves.
//Millerna puts her hand on Allen's cheek.
Millerna: Allen...
//Allen pushes it aside.
Allen: Princess... ...you're already engaged.
Millerna: That was my father's decision. I... Allen, why don't you understand my feelings?
Allen: Princess Millerna...
Millerna: Allen...
//Van walks down the stairs and sees Hitomi coming up.
Hitomi: Wha...? Did you drink too much, too?
Van: It'd be better not to go upstairs.
Hitomi: I'm hot, so I'm going to cool myself down in the wind.
//Van walks by and glances at her then continues on.
Hitomi: What's with him? He's strange.
//Hitomi reaches the top and sees what's happening.
Millerna: Why do you always call me Princess? I love you, as a woman.
Hitomi: Allen and Millerna...
//Millerna sees Hitomi.
Millerna: Allen...
//Hitomi hides behind a column.
Millerna: Allen...
Allen: Princess...
Millerna: I'll give up everything for you... My father and this country...
Allen: Millerna...
//They kiss, Hitomi starts crying and runs away.
Allen: Hitomi...
Millerna: Allen... Don't go.
//Hitomi runs down the stairs.
Hitomi: I'm a fool. It's only natural that he has someone he loves. We only met recently... I'm a fool.
//Meanwhile Merle sits on the roof.
Merle: The city lights are beautiful. The night view in Fanelia was also beautiful. The stars
were shining so brightly... It was beautiful.
//Three creatures hang from the ceiling. Hitomi runs in crying and jumps on the bed.
Merle: Hitomi. What happened? Hey, are you crying?
Hitomi: Leave me alone!
Merle: You are crying. Hey, why're you crying? Why?
Hitomi: Shut up!
//Hitomi throws a pillow at Merle and knocks her off the bed.
Merle: Why'd you do that?! Keep crying, then.
//Merle leaves and jumps on the roof. The three Gecko men on the ceiling jump down and capture
Hitomi.
Hitomi: What...?!
Merle: She's so fierce...
//Merle hears whats happening and watches as they put Hitomi in a sack.
Gecko1: I heard King Aston demanded a lot in return for her.
Gecko2: Meiden's dilettante.
//They climb out and get in their submarine and leave.
Merle: She was sold... A girl like her...
//Merle looks at the bed and imagines Hitomi there.
Merle: I've got to inform... I've got to inform Master Van.
//Meanwhile...
Hitomi: Help me! Someone...!
Gecko1: No one can hear you.
Gecko2: Even a Guymelef can't do anything underwater.
Hitomi: Allen...
//She remembers what happened earlier. No, he won't come.
//They leave the castle.
//Meanwhile, on the Floating Fortress...
Aston: We're doing our best to search for it... ...but Asturia's so big, we don't have enough men
to search for one Guymelef.
Folken: If so, please allow us to search. I'll use my men to find Escaflowne.
Aston: You're so interested in that Guymelef. I want to know the reason why you're so intent on
capturing it.
Folken: Indeed...
//The door knocks.
Folken: Enter.
Soldier: Sir Folken, I was informed that the dragon was caught in our net.
//At that moment Escaflowne heads, disguised through the moat in town.
Merle: Master Van, hurry, hurry!
Van: I owe Hitomi. This time, I'll...
Merle: That way...
//Escaflowne heads under a bridge tearing off it's costume.
Watchman: Aaah!
//On the Floating Fortress Folken is given a picture.
Soldier: This is a picture from a watchman.
Folken: It saves us a lot of time searching, doesn't it?
Aston: I didn't notice that it was camouflaged. Dispatch the guards immediately. I didn't realize
that it had already entered Palas. Folken, honor our treaty. It's a crisis in the capital.
I ask that you send your troops.
Folken: You're an incredible king. Wake up Dilandau.
Soldier: Well, actually...
//Dilandau heads out in a Guymelef.
Dilandau: Van, wait for me.
Folken: I didn't know that you were an early riser.
Dilandau: This is a sequel to my dream. He appeared in my dream.
Folken: That's an urban area. Don't involve citizens.
Dilandau: I'll do my best.
//Escaflowne reaches a deeper section of water.
Merle: I found it!
//The sub is in front of them.
Gecko2: We're being pursued!
Gecko1: Did it come along the canal?! Dive, dive!
Hitomi: Allen!
Van: Merle, go to the bank!
//Escaflowne goes underwater. Merle climbs to dry ground.
Merle: Master Van!
Gecko1: How about that? A Melef won't be able to pursue us into the water.
//The ship is rocked.
Gecko1: What is that?
//Escaflowne gets out of the water with the sub in it's hands.
Merle: Master Van!
//Van tears the top off of the ship.
Hitomi: Allen! Van... Van came to rescue me...
//Escaflowne gets out of the water with Hitomi in it's hands. Merle jumps atop it.
Van: Are you hurt?
Hitomi: No.
//Merle unties Hitomi.
Hitomi: Thank you.
Merle: Geez. How stupid of you to be kidnapped by Geckomen.
Hitomi: I'm sorry that I'm stupid.
//However, Dilandau from above sees them.
Dilandau: I found it. Van!
//Dilandau lands and shoots at Van multiple times, who dodges. Dilandau swipes at Van, but Van
blocks. Dilandau continues to attack him with fire, but Van continues to dodge him.
Van: What the...
Dilandau: Wait for me.
//Van knocks Dilandau's Guymelef into a house, but Dilandau counters by shooting flames at him.
Escaflowne blocks, causing it to set a house aflame.
Dilandau: Burn!
//The houses go up in flames.
Hitomi: The city... the city's burning.
Dilandau: You can't escape.
Van: Stop! Don't attack here!
Dilandau: It's your fault because you're here. The city's burning because you're here. My scar
aches because you're here. Go away!
//Dilandau shoots at Van once more, but Van transforms Escaflowne into a Dragon and flies over
him. Dilandau turns to find Scherezade in his face.
Dilandau: What the...
Allen: Dilandau, if you keep destroying the city, I'll fight you.
Dilandau: Not you again... Allen Schezar.
//Escaflowne flies away from Palas.
Van: Are you okay?
Hitomi: Yes thanks. Goodbye, Allen.
