The Ginji Guide version 1.0
Class M: Sheridan; Iemon, Aston, Tamara,
Class I: Belkend; Hencken, Cathy, Spinoza
Albiore III's control panel (circular) includes diagram of airship (status). All (only?) four seats in the cockpit seem to have this video panel in front of them (for the passengers they're mounted on the backs of the pilot and co-pilot's seats). Noir took passenger seat behind Ginji. Asch seems to shift between the co-pilot's seat and the right side passenger.
- Albiores equipped with short-range(?) radios/speakers.
- Four (4?) engines; large "fonic pivoting rotors" (tiltrotor) attached at the wingtips allow for vertical takeoffs and landings.
Iemon: Well? Well?! What's happening?!
Aston: I can see it plain as day! The gusts over Meggiora are going to
blow it off any minute.
Tamara: Oh, come on, Aston. Are you sure you're not going blind, old
man?
Aston: You know you only get farsighted with age, Tamara. I can see far
away just fine.
Iemon: This is bad. We might lose the hover drive.
Tamara: How can you talk like that, Iemon?! That's your grandson, Ginji,
trapped in there! Aren't you worried about him?!
Tamara hits Iemon with the stick she's holding.
Luke: Is something wrong?
Iemon: ...The Albiore crashed in the Meggiora Highlands.
Guy: The Albiore? You mean the machine equipped with the ancient
hover drive?!
Anise: Oh, no. Did we come all the way here for nothing?
Guy: No, I heard two hover drives had been excavated...
Iemon: You heard correctly. But the second hover drive hasn't been so
much as started up yet.
Aston: Iemon, there's no time to chat. We have to form a rescue party
for Ginji and the hover drive!
Iemon: Right. We can attach the hover drive to the Albiore II and
resume experiments.
Tamara: You're a heartless old man!
----------------------------------------
Ginji: Thank you for rescuing me.
Luke: Are you hurt?
Ginji: No, thanks to you all.
Tear: Let's talk later. We've got the hover drive. There's no time to
lose.
Luke: Yeah. Ginji, can you walk?
Ginji: Yes. I'm fine.
----------------------------------------
Luke: That big monster had me worried, but we made it just in time.
| Guy: Yeah. Even if we got the hover drive out, it would've been
| terrible to lose Ginji. For all Iemon's talk, he was probably
| pretty worried too.
| Tear: Yeah. He was just too embarrassed to show his concern for his
| grandson. I'm sure he'll be glad to see Ginji safe.
| Jade: We don't have time to stand around, you know. We have to hurry
| to St. Binah.
| Guy: Unconcerned as always...
| Jade: Really? How strange...
| Luke: But yeah, we do have to hurry. Let's get back to Sheridan.
----------------------------------------
Ginji: Thank you for everything! I'll go on ahead and deliver the hover
drive!
----------------------------------------
Noelle: We could use that time to predict the next attack and get
close...My brother could do it, but...
Jade: Shall we find Asch and have Ginji take your place?
Noelle: ...No, please allow me to do it. I'm the pilot of the Albiore
II. I've had the same training as my brother. It's all right.
I'll do it.
Luke: We're counting on you.
Guy: Sounds like that settles it, then.
----------------------------------------
Luke: Hey, that's Aston's Albiore!
Guy: That's right, Asch was riding the Albiore III.
Natalia: Asch...no, that's...!
Noelle runs to Ginji.
Noelle: Ginji?! You got through that anti-aircraft fire?!
Ginji: It was dangerous, but I had to. I flew in from the interceptor
system's blind spot and rammed it with the Albiore. That was
the only way to stop the anti-air fire.
Ginji falls onto Noelle.
Jade: That's insane...
Luke: Whoa, are you okay?
Ginji: ...Yes, I'm fine. I just got knocked around a little when
Eldrant fell.
Noelle: I'll take care of him. You all go ahead.
Jade: Luke. Let's go.
Luke: ...Okay. Thanks, Noelle. All right, let's go!
IF GINJI WASN’T SAVED BEFORE
Luke: Hey, that’s Aston’s Albiore!
Guy: That's right, Asch was riding the Albiore III.
Natalia: Asch...no, that's...!
Noelle runs to Aston
Noelle: Grandpa Aston?! When did you get here?!
Aston: Asch said he was going in. With Ginji gone, we’re the only ones
who could make it through that anti-aircraft fire. While I was at
it, I rammed the Albiore into one of the interceptors and took it
out.
Noelle: And that’s how you got here?! Honestly! You’re crazy!
Aston falls onto Noelle
Luke: Hey, are you okay?
Aston: …Don’t worry about me. Go find Asch. He ran off by himself… I
tell you, that kid is just like Iemon…
Noelle: I’ll take care of him. You all go ahead.
Jade: Luke. Let’s go.
Luke: ...Okay. Thanks, Noelle. All right, let's go!
---------------------------------
Tear: Ginji's amazing. He managed to squeeze the craft in through all
| that firepower.
| Guy: He's crazy but he's good. I'm glad he's safe.
| Anise: Yeah, I'd just cry if he died now after surviving that crash in
| the Meggiora Highlands.
| Tear: Yes...he seems to be very lucky indeed.
| Guy: Luck, huh? In this day and age, it takes more than a bit of luck
| to survive. Just look at us.
| Anise: Yeah, really!
--------------------------------
Tear: Aston's amazing. He managed to squeeze the craft in through all
| that firepower.
| Guy: It looks like he's kept his skills up, despite his age. I'm glad
| he's safe.
| Anise: Yeah, I'd just cry if he died now after surviving the
| Commandant's attack
| Tear: Yes...he seems to be very lucky indeed.
| Guy: Luck, huh? In this day and age, it takes more than a bit of luck
| to survive. Just look at us.
| Anise: Yeah, really!

ANIME:
Episode 15:
Noelle: Ginji!
Ginji: Hey, Noelle. You came back safe and sound.
Noelle: Let me introduce you. This is my brother, Ginji.
Ginji: *bows politely* Thank you for taking care of my little sister.
Noelle: By the way, Ginji, what are you doing here?
Ginji: *sighs in exasperation then looks sympathetic* It's the usual deal.
Noelle: Are they fighting again?
Ginji: *thumbs towards the door* You'll see if you go inside.
Episode 16:
Aston: Noelle, you come along too. We have to load the Albiore onto the Tartarus.
Noelle: By the way, where's Ginji?
Iemon: He's taking the Albiore III for a test flight.
Noelle: I see. Okay, I'm leaving!
Episode 17:
***Asch the Bloody Volume 2: Ginji is assisting Asch by this time.***
Noir: Awake from your nappy. little boy Asch?
Asch: .... Urk...
Urushi: You can't move yet, boss!
Asch: (The Dark Wings... And this is their...) !
Asch: You were in Sheridan...!
("Are you a soldier too?")
Noir: You singled him out for good things back then, right? Since he was here, we asked him to come by.
Ginji: I'd like to help.
Asch: I don't need help! You (the Dark Wings) keep on acting without permission!
Ginji: My sister is acting in concert with Luke's group... I want to help somehow too! I need to be sure that the machines built in Sheridan to calm the quakes at the planet's core are a success! I don't want their sacrifices to be in vain!
Noir: We're not interested in any fights to the death but Ginji, and us too... We've done a good bit of thinking on this.
Urushi: We're coming with you!
Asch: .... But!
Urushi: We aren't interested in avenging you but we can accept an IOU of massive payback after you've moved up in the world.
Asch: !!
Asch: (sigh) Do as you like!
Episode 18:
Noelle: That reminds me, Asch came with a request just recently, too.
Luke: Asch did? Where is he now?
Noelle: Well, he said he wanted to borrow Ginji's Albiore III. He was investigating something.
Luke: And then?
Noelle: And he was going to Yulia City next.
Episode 21:
Asch: Ten thousand Seventh Fonists...
Noir: Asch, did you say something?
Asch: *looks away, then to Ginji* Ginji, we're changing our destination. Head towards the Tower of Rem.
Ginji: Understood.
----
Noelle: *runs out as soon as the Albiore lands* Ginji! (Big brother!)
Ginji: *looks up from maintenance and waves* Noelle!
Ginji: *...then jumps down.* What are you doing here?
Luke: Ginji! Where's Asch?
Ginji: Well... he went inside the tower on his own. He looked like he was really brooding over something. I'm worried about him.
Noir: Will you guys stop Asch for us?
Luke: You're the ones from...
Noir: We meet again, boy.
Luke: So you guys are Asch's friends?
Noir: Not really "friends"... *scratches her cheek* We're working for money.
Ginji: That's not true! *spreads his arms* Asch is really counting on you guys (all of you) from the Dark Wings!
Luke: Dark Wings?
Noir: *stamps angrily* Don't say unnecessary things, Ginji!
Ginji: *cringes/cowers apologetically* Okay! (Yes!) I'm sorry!
Jade: To think we'd find wanted fugitives here... But it looks like we're out of time.
Episode 24:
***Asch the Bloody Volume 2: Asch is looking out over the ocean the evening before they infiltrate Eldrant. The Dark Wings and Ginji remain inside the Albiore with Ginji looking worried.***
Urushi: That's Eldrant, the replica of the Isle of Hod?
Ginji: Mr. Asch said he was going to attack alone tomorrow? He's in way over his head!
Noir: I doubt anything could change his mind now. ... But...it's a bit cold. The boy always feels he must fight alone.
***Dark Wings get off sometime between this and the next morning. Ginji and Asch head off alone, with Ginji crashing the Albiore III into Eldrant, smashing into one of the guns (technical term goes here) and leaving a hole behind. Assuming the Albiore III is later excavated out of the wreckage because it looked totalled. LOL.***
Episode 25:
Ginji: Mr. Asch...
Asch: You did well. Now get out of here.
*Ginji reaches for Asch as he leaves but winces in pain*
*Ginji comes limping towards the party*
Noelle: [Big] Brother!
*Noelle runs to him and catches*
Noelle: Hang in there, brother!
Ginji: Noelle...
Luke: Ginji, where's Asch? Weren't you with him?
Ginji: Please... stop him!
Luke: Don't tell me he went alone.
Tear: That's reckless!
Natalia: Asch...
Ginji: Mr. Asch was deadly serious when he told us he was going alone. He made Ms. Noir and the others get off the Albiore. I couldn't let him pilot the Albiore, so I convinced him to bring me along.
Anise: Asch has a tendency to rush headlong into things.
Luke: Anyway, we have to find him.
*Luke runs off with the others following, Guy pauses and tyrns back to Noelle and Ginji*
Guy: Noelle, take care of Ginji. If you see any signs of trouble, don't wait, just run.
Noelle: All right. Be careful.
Ginji: We're counting on you.
***Noelle and Ginji escape in the Albiore II.***
Episode 26:
***In the epilogue Ginji and Noelle can be found in the hangar helping to repair the Albiores. They're sitting on top of the Albiore III.***
