Dangerous Wounds

Plot
In the last battle, Van incurs life-threatening injuries which Hitomi discovers to match Escaflowne's battle damage exactly. Fortunately, Dryden (Millerna's betrothed) appears and uses his knowledge of ancient technologies to summon Escaflowne's original builders. The Ispano repair Escaflowne and in the process, heal the pilot whose blood pact intertwines his fate with Escaflowne's. Thus restored, Van rushes to mete out vengeance upon the Dragonslayers, despite the consequences.
