AQUARION EVOL

The new class of Element recruits report for duty and Apollo is among them, making some of the more experienced pilots touchy. Apollo only wants access to Aquarion to save his best friend, but before he can take the controls again he'll need a lesson in partnership and trust. The simulation training is rigid… But simulation and reality are two different things. When an alien harvesting team appears in the city, veteran and rookie alike are pushed to the limits. What at first is a grand victory can quickly transform into tragedy. Progress is made, but it's too soon for celebration.

Within his wild heart, Apollo feels the harsh separation from his best friend Baron, who has been harvested by the Shadow Angels. The winged aliens convene and one known as Toma announces his holy dream – A vision that foretells the Earth's resurrection as a thing of beauty by utilizing the heralded Solar Wing. Back on the ruined planet, the recruits undergo a strange training exercise at the will of Gen Fudo, their new commander. Paying attention to the odd lesson might mean surviving or perishing. Another Aquarion sortie allows the pilots a chance to turn practice into practical strategy. Lessons are taught for a reason.

The Elements continue with their training, faced with new and ever more difficult challenges. In order to truly be effective against the Shadow Angels, they must learn to harness their emotions, to attack without reservation. Apollo and the other recruits begin work on their telekinetic abilities, enhancing the powers of their imaginations and spirits. When perfected, these new techniques bind partners closer, an intimate connection easily transferred into fighting strategy. The fighters will have to overcome space and time, unchanging and mysterious both like the moon above, if they wish to defeat a treacherous foe.
