## Biography

Kaguya appears before Soushi Minashiro and tells him that he will destroy the island the way he is right now. While Soushi is looking at Sakuya, Kaguya states that the child of the Mir is looking for him with Kazuki Makabe appearing beside her. Kaguya once again appears before Soushi with Sakuya after he is taken back by Kazuki and the rest and reminds him to discard the false dream. The next time the duo appears is in Soushi's dream after he fought against the Tatsumiyajima's pilots with the location this time being on Wadatsumijima's beach.

Both Kaguya and Sakuya stop Maris Excelsior from taking Soushi after he sneaked into Soushi's room. They later appear in Soushi's dream, this time accompanied by a white-haired woman. The duo contact Soushi, who is watching the battle that occured five years ago on Wadatsumijima, and give him Tatsumiyajima's coordinates.

Waiting for Alvis to make contact with Tatsumiyajima, Kaguya catches Misao Kurusu's crystal when he is defeated by Chaos Bartland. During Soushi's battle with Maris, Kaguya and Sakuya guide him to ArcheType Zero. After the fight, they welcome Miwa Hino and reveal that Altair is sleeping below them, but Soushi interrupts them. He then battles against Kazuki, which he wins, and joins Miwa to awaken Altair. They witness Miwa's blessing and welcome Seri back following the conclusion of the Sixth Operation Azure. Joined by Seri, they welcome the Alvis staff back home where Kaguya reveals that Sakuya was born to protect her. Upon hearing that they will be returning to Tatsumiyajima along with everyone else, the two cores are relieved and happy. The next day, the two cores visit Misao's resting place with Soushi, Miwa, and Youko Hazama and tell Soushi that he was born the same way Misao will be reborn. Not sure on how to call Soushi, they decide to call him uncle which make him uncomfortable. A month later, they join Seri when she goes to Rakuen to be reunited with Rina Nishio and her fellow pilots and watch the lanterns during the Tanabata Festival later that night. They thank Ruby Karma for coming to their island and wish her people happiness to which Ruby responds that they should visit Wadatsumijima one day. Several days later, they watch Kazuki and Kouyou Kasugai depart from Tatsumiyajima with the pilots.

## History

Kouyou pilots Abaddon during the Fifth Operation Azure as part of the first team. The team arrives on the battlefield by rockets, breaking the shield surrounding the area. Abaddon dodges the enemy attacks and uses its SDP to defeat multiple enemies at once. Arriving at a crystallized forest, the team gets attacked by Specter and Abaddon clashes with it, mirroring Abaddon and Chronos using its SDP. Bought enough time for the rocket to get away, the enemies disappear, leaving the Fafners with nothing.

Abaddon interrupts Specter chasing Achilles and they fight each other with Specter copying Abaddon. They keep fighting until Specter retreats and Abaddon flies to Misao's boat to reunite with the others.

Prometheus appears before Maris Excelsior on the rocket and thanks him for helping with his plan. He wonders if Maris actually hates him to which he responds that he has hopes for the world Prometheus is going to build. He tells him that his original name was Mikoto Wadatsumino before stating that he wants to be known as Marespero from now on as that will be the last word he is going to give to humanity.

Marespero, now having an adult body, shows Maris and Chaos Bartland an Ashoka branch which prevents them from reading the comms of Alvis. He then watches how a Human Army's member is turned into a follower and responds to Maris that it is easier to fight and to ride a Fafner by having a body. Chaos wants both of them with the Poseidon fleet that is going to destroy Wadatsumijima and Marespero allows Maris talk to Soushi Minashiro while they mobilize their fleet.

Chaos wonders why Marespero isn't sending him or their ship into battle after they lost from Wadatsumijima to which he responds he wants Chaos to become one with Altair and to turn him into a core. Chaos wonders if he doesn't want to take his island back to which he responds that he has already forgotten what has happened. He remembers himself being covered in blood while being in a pool of blood and tells Chaos that he turned himself into pure hatred to avoid the pain he felt before. Marespero contacts Maris after he made contact with Wadatsumijima and tells him that he will assimilate both Soushi and Miwa Hino if they don't join his side.

Anila lets Narain know all crafts have been sighted and later updates that several vehicles from camp 2 encountered a group of enemies when they went off-course. At camp 7, she states that all unmanned communcations are down due to the weather and that the rear unit is en route to camp 6 with their exact location unknown. At camp 19, Anila is glad when they receive a message from Dhaka, however, they come under attack later that night while camp 23 is under attack by forces from Dhaka. She tries to contact Dhaka on Narain's request, but is unable to due to Kamal Dexter not being present. Anila updates Narain after everyone made it over the wall.

However, the enemy finds them there and Anila tries to shoot them but she gets killed by a worm sphere.

## Summary

The technique Marespero uses to track Wadatsumijima is a clever one that uses human emotions and blind spots. With the truth revealed by Miwa and Soushi, Alvis uses the mechanism and devises the Sixth Operation Azure aiming at Tatsumijima while deceiving the eyes of Marespero and others.

On the other hand, Maris and the others, who were forced to withdraw temporarily due to the unexpected event of Mark Nicht's salvatorization, renew their determination to extinguish the island this time in order to realize the peaceful world they believe in...

At the time of the final decision. The islanders have only one wish. Returning to their hometown <Tatsumiyajima>. It is the last hope that follows the horizon of possibilities――

The **First Plan L** is carried out in *Soukyuu no Fafner Right of Left*. The goal of this operation is to prevent the Festum from finding Tatsumiyajima. Part of Alvis is used as the L-Boat which will travel around on sea on autopilot for sixty days.

The operation ends in a success since the enemy doesn't find Tatsumiyajima, but at the cost of all the lives of the participating pilots and staff. Tatsumiyajima manages to find part of Ryou's Titan with a recording he left behind moments before activating his Titan's Fenrir program.

The characters involved in this operation are:

* Tsukasa Saotome
* Yumi Ikoma

## Second Plan L

The **Second Plan L** is carried out in the eighth and ninth episodes of *Soukyuu no Fafner The Beyond*.

Kazuki Makabe, piloting Mark Alles, Kouyou Kasugai, piloting Abaddon, and Misao Kurusu, piloting Chronos, are chosen to protect Wadatsumijima with the remaining active pilots being selected for the operation.

The operation is abandoned after Benon attacks the L-Boat shortly after departure. The battle ends in their victory as Benon retreats after Soushi Minashiro evolves Mark Nicht and Kazuki comes to their aid with Mark Alles. However, both Reo Mikado and Mimika Mikagami end up in a terminal state due to the assimilation phenomenon with a chance of recovery due to Soushi saving them just in time.

The pilots involved in this operation are:

However, Kanae stopped pushing the operation after her son, Sui, stated his feelings on the matter and threw the papers of the operation away.
