Background
Some time in his past, Kanata's teacher fell down a cliff and Kanata tried to help him as he held on for dear life.

Plot
In 2063 A.D. at the Mousanish Spaceport, he hears the cries of Aries Spring who had her purse snatched away by a thief. He chases after the thief and is able to knock him down after leaping over a fountain. He gives the purse back to Aries who begins to thank him, but he is carried away by a group of patrol-bots for assault and battery. Sometime later after he is cleared, the patrol-bots carries him to where Group B-5 is meeting and he introduces himself. He also proclaims himself as the captain of the group, much to some objections by the other students.

They then board a spaceship and begins their four hour journey to Planet McPa. Once everyone is given permission to move freely around the cabin, Kanata is approached by Aries who thanks him for his help. When she asks him what made him decide he wants to be the captain of the group, Kanata says that he wants to become a space explorer with his own spaceship and crew. He then says that he is only taking on the dreams of a person who had passed away and has made it his own aspiration. Aries is moved by this and says that she will cheer him on. Sometime later, the spaceship lands on Planet McPa and the group steps outside to walk around, taking in the vast landscape. Luca Esposito points out a strange globe that's been approaching them, he is however sucked in by it. Kanata tells everyone to run and to reactivate their helmets, but the whole group is caught and sent into outer space.

After confirming everyone's status, they see a spaceship which they promptly board for safety. He asks if everyone is inside and if they are hurt, but Zack Walker notes that one person is missing. Ulgar Zweig looks out the window and sees Aries still floating in space, with her thrusters and communication system not working. As everyone wonders what they can do in this situation, Kanata remembers back to the day that his teacher fell to his death. He then makes his resolve to go out and rescue Aries with the help of a cable cord to keep him attached to the ship.

As he got closer to Aries, he finds that the cord is not long enough and unclips himself to reach her. He is able to reach Aries and bring her back to the spaceship where she repeatedly thanks him again. As the group wonders how they can get out of their situation, Zack is working on the ship's coordinates and finds some disturbing information. He says that they are no longer above Plane McPa and that they are 5,012 light-years away from their original location. The group could do nothing but react with shock at this news.
