Still sepia photos in rapid succession: Young Sara hanging off anchor Nathan, while Josh looks on in pain - Keenan holding anchor Yukiko as they cry into each other's shoulders - Anna kissing Anchor Meredith goodbye - the run on the base - the exploding moon.

Then, color photos: A sixteen-year old Sara in a plain white wedding dress and Josh in a makeshift suit - Anna's funeral, and Sara and a child Archer strewing her grave with flowers - a child Archer Lin kissing Sophie, to her shock and Keenan's amusement ...

Looking back at the beginning of this

Sara walking with her son and daughter in the evening, Ari talking with Isaac to Jon's amusement. Kids play PA&M in the background - then the lights flash red. Sara, worried, kisses Jon, then Ari, who then rush to the creche.

And how life was

Jessica gives Ariana a thumbs-up and a grin: Lily squeezes Jon's hand in passing. Casey is already in position: Noah and Archer look on, Noah in wonder, Archer in resignation.

Just you and me and love and all of our friends

Thier ANIMa - Ari's Magical Femroid Glorious Princess; Jon's walking cannon; Casey's angular machine; Archer's Kakashi-Bot; and Noah's close-in skirmisher - fly out over the dreamscape sea at night, crescent moon with the convex-side pointing downwards, to meet the alien enemies.

Living life like an ocean

Suddenly a tentacle snakes up from the waters, dragging Casey's mech down. She, in the cockpit, silently screams: Jon, in his cockpit, gasps in shock and his ANIMa grabs for her mech's hand. More tentacles whip out, latching on to them and slowly, surely, dragging them down.

Now the current's slowly pulling me down It's getting harder to breathe It won't be too long and I'll be going under Can you save me from this

('Cause) It's not my time, I'm not going There's a fear in me It's not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know Oh, I won't go

I look ahead to all the plans that we made And the dreams that we had I'm in a world that tries to take them away Oh, but I'm taking them back All this time I've just been too blind to understand What should matter to me My friend, this life we live Is not what we have, it's what we believe

(And) It's not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me It's not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know But, it's not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me Now I know that This could be the end of me And everything I know Oh, I won't go I won't go

(solo)

There might be more than you believe (There might be more than you believe) There might be more than you can see But, it's not my time I'm not going There's a fear in me It's not showing This could be the end of me And everything I know But, it's not my time I'm not going There's a will in me Now it's gonna show This could be the end of me And everything I know, oh There might be more than you believe (There might be more than you believe) There might be more than you can see And I won't go No I won't go down (yeahh)
