Operation Freyja begins, but Hikari isn't a part of it.  She's been shuffled off to the rear lines to keep her safe, while Takami stands at the forefront of the 502nd's flight wing.  But when Freyja goes wrong, who will be there to help pick up the pieces and save the day?
Never thought I'd go into battle 
hauling something like this...
...لم أتوقّع أبداً أن أخوض معركةً وأنا أحمل شيئاً هكذا

Kaliber den Angriff wagen.
Jamás pensé que me lanzaría 
al ataque cargando con esto.
Jamás pensé que me lanzaría
al ataque cargando con esto.
J’aurais jamais cru
attaquer avec ça.
Certo che andare alla carica portandosi
questo coso fra le braccia...
Nunca pensei que iria para 
a batalha com algo assim...
