Previous Chapter: GEIM System | Next Chapter: Geneva Scourged
Hagane – Bridge
Eita: The DC fleet is retreating!
Tetsuya: Good! Recall all PTs for repair and resupply!
Daitetsu: Nrgh…we’ve wasted too much time.
*Alarm*
Tetsuya: What now!?
Eita: We have word from HQ! The DC is headed toward Geneva!!
Daitetsu: They’ve made their move. All hands, Battlestation 1! We’re off to Geneva!
Hagane – Hangar
Leona: The DC already has units in Leon Bay…?
Ingram: That’s correct. Their AMs and Valsion Customs are turning the tide.
Leona: …The EFA’s older units can’t compete with the DC’s AMs.
Ingram: Right. There’s much more to a mech than its appearance.
Kyosuke: Right…just look at us.
Latune: Major, shouldn’t we support our allies…?
Ingram: No. The enemy came in too fast, and we’re too far away…
Ingram: We should continue as planned…straight on to Geneva.
Excellen: Sheesh, don’t those guys ever relax? I’m worn out here…
Kyosuke: The enemy has no time to relax.
Rai: Yeah, nobody does.
Ingram: This isn’t a game you know.
Excellen: T-Tasuku…these guys…no sense of humor…
Tasuku: Maybe you should keep quiet for now…
Leona: …So that’s why it’s been so peaceful here.
Ingram: I don’t know how many there are, but we’ll have to fight the Valsion Customs.
Rai: Even though these mechs are still prototypes…is there a chance they put the Princess in a Valsion Custom…?
Latune: …!
Excellen: C’mon, we don’t know that for sure.
Excellen: Hey bigshot? Try being more sensitive next time.
Rai: …..
Excellen: I take it you have a lot to learn about romance and a woman’s feelings?
Kyosuke: Romance is irrelevant.
Leona: But a woman’s feelings aren’t?
Tasuku: (I think it’s totally relevant.)
Ingram: This isn’t the time to be sitting around chatting, Excellen.
Excellen: T-Tasuku…you must help me…
Tasuku: I told you to be quiet, Lieutenant…
Hiryu Kai – Hangar
Bullet: (…Our next battle is going to be against the remaining DC forces…)
Bullet: (Major Sanger…will he be there…?)
Kusuha: What’s wrong, Bullet?
Bullet: Huh? Oh, nothing…
Kusuha: Are you worried about…Major Sanger?
Bullet: …..
Bullet: Yeah. I want to believe that he’s doing this for the Earth…
Bullet: If I see him again, maybe I’ll find out…maybe he’ll fight on our side again.
Kusuha: …..
Bullet: Wishful thinking, huh?
Kusuha: No, I don’t think so. The ability to believe in someone…I think it’s important.
Kusuha: Especially in today’s world…
Bullet: Yeah…
*Alarm, again*
Kusuha: !!
Rio: You two, there’s an emergency alert! Get ready for combat!
Bullet: This is it! Let’s go, Kusuha!
Kusuha: Roger…!
Hiryu Kai – Bridge
Eun: Forward enemy forces, defeated! Message from Major Ingram! The PT units will take the lead!
Lefina: Roger that!
Sean: …It’s not a good sign that the battle’s spread this far…
Lefina: Corporal, what’s the situation!?
Eun: The defense corps is down to 40% strength! The DC is destroying Geneva’s third and final defensive line!
Lefina: XO, how much time left to arrival?
Sean: We’re twenty minutes out right now…we might not make it.
Lefina: Maybe, but that’s no excuse to give up!
Sean: Right. Let’s direct our units at their central forces.
Lefina: Central…? You mean the Valsion Custom units!?
Sean: Yes. If we eliminate their special forces, the tide will turn.
Sean: Then, once our backup arrives, it’ll be over quickly.
Lefina: Understood…! All units, attack their main force!!
Chapter 28 – Crusaders’ End
Senator B: Mr. President, it’s too dangerous! Get to the escape pod!!
Albert: Urg…! Where in the world are our troops!?
Tenzan: Hahahah…if we were serious, these jokers would be toast!
Senator B: ! I-It can’t…is that a Valsion!?
Albert: Uh…gh…! Mr. Chairman!? Where did Chairman Karl go!?
Senator A: He already managed to escape!
Albert: Wh-What…!? H-He…abandoned us!?
Tenzan: You politicians need to be taught a lesson…
Tenzan: Time to die!
Albert: We’re doomed…! A-Aaaaarrrrrrgh!!
*Geneva is razed*
Tenzan: Heh…heheh…man, this Valsion. It’s a lot more than a pretty face.
Tenzan: Bian should’ve sent this unit into Geneva to begin with.
Lily: (…Not that you…or anyone else would have understood the cause that Commanders Bian and Maier fought for…)
Lily: (Which is why I was entrusted with their final mission…)
Tenzan: Jeez, the fact that Adler kept this baby under wraps for so long…
Tenzan: Speaking of which, where the heck is Sanger? Seriously.
Tenzan: Oh well, after this battle is over…I’ll just kill him. Yeah, that’s right.
Tenzan: That’s it. That’ll show him, ahahaha!
Soldier: Lt. Colonel! The Hagane and Hiryu Kai are approaching!!
Lily: …So they’re here…all units, intercept them! Got it, Tenzan?
Tenzan: …Kill ‘em all. All of ‘em….kill ‘em all…heh, heheheh…That’s, that’s it…
Lily: ! Can it be…!?
Soldier: Enemy ships are headed this way!
*Allied ship arrives, prep screen, units deploy*
Kyosuke: …What is HQ’s status…!?
Irm: Unfortunately, we were too late.
Ryoto: F-Figures…that’s a Valsion Custom…!
Tenzan: Heheh…hehahahaha…!
Ryusei: ! Tenzan!!
Tenzan: Hya, Hyahahaha…!
Masaki: Wha-What’s wrong with him…!?
Radha: Could it be the same thing that happened to Tempest…!?
Tenzan: Bloodbath…everyone should join the bloodbath…everyone! Mwahahahaha!!
Ryusei: Y-You…! The Valsion has you too…!?
Tenzan: That’s right! I can feel the power!!
Tenzan: You guys are nothing compared to my new machine, Ryusei! Gwahaha!!
Ryusei: Snap out of it, Tenzan!
Tenzan: Why should I, idiot!? This is a great game! I don’t want to quit!
Ryusei: You’re still saying that!?
Tenzan: I’ll crush you! Crush, crush, crush, cruuuush!!
Rai: …Ryusei, it’s useless. Don’t you remember Tempest?
Ryusei: …!
Tempest: Nobody move! You’re all just little bugs, squish squash!!
Ryusei: Y-You…you’re sick…!
Tenzan: Hyahaha, you still think you’re so cool? Aaaha cool, cool!
Tenzan: But, aren’t you nothing more than a killer!?
Tenzan: Do-do-do you even think about the enemy soldiers that you kill!?
Ryusei: What…!?
Ingram: Ryusei…he’s lost his mind. Destroy him now.
Ryusei: …But, sir…!
Ingram: That’s just how war is…kill, or be killed. Nothing more.
Ryusei: …!
Tenzan: L-Last battle! I’ll crush you into paste! Bahahahahaha!!
Ryusei: …Tenzan…! I will…I will stop you!!
Excellen: Kyosuke…
Kyosuke: We’ll do what must be done.
Kyosuke: It’s all we can do. For now at least.
*Conditions shown, battle starts*
*Turn 3 Enemy Phase, reinforcements appear*
Adler: Keheheh…checkmate.
Kyosuke: No…looks like backup…!
Adler: Now all I have to do is junk your ships.
Tenzan: What!? It’s that old fool Adler!
Tenzan: Don’t worry, I’ll kill you once I’m done with them! Bwahahaha!!
Adler: Hmm…Tenzan couldn’t handle it either.
Adler: In that case, I’ll have to rely on my ace in the hole…
*Another Valsion Kai appears*
Garnet: More of them!?
Masaki: Tch…! Where the heck are they coming from!?
Giado: Les’ just hope dis is the last of them…
Latune: (…Can that be…?)
Lune: Adler Koch! How dare you! My father’s Valsion…!
Lune: The DC isn’t your tool…you can’t just use it however you please!!
Tenzan: Ooooohhhoooo! This should be quite a show! Two Valsions!
Lune: Shut up! That fake Valsion…I’ll tear it limb from limb!
Adler: Hmph, there’s nothing worse than an ignorant little girl.
Adler: Your father was a great man, save for his useless ideals.
Lune: What’d you say!?
Adler: “The ones who win this fight will be the guardians of the Earth…”
Adler: Worthless. Completely worthless idealism.
Alder: Strengthening those who opposed him through battle…a flawed plan, through and through.
Adler: If he truly intended to save all of mankind…
Adler: He would have killed those who opposed him, and fought the aliens with his full strength. But he just couldn’t compromise on his ‘ideals’.
Kyosuke: …So Sanger was a victim of those ideals too?
Adler: Sanger? I don’t see him here, so he must have run away.
Kyosuke: Maybe he doesn’t believe in YOUR ideals.
Kyosuke: Not like that should come as a surprise.
Lily: …..
Adler: I’m not like Bian. I’m using the DC to conquer the world…no, to purify it.
Adler: And, with the combined military might of the Earth under my control…I will crush the aliens.
Lune: But you don’t have the power to do that!
Adler: Keheheh…then, observe! The power of the GEIM System and the Valsion Custom!!
*Valsion Kai casts Spirit, Strike, Alert, and moves close to EFA HQ*
Shine: Valsion…Custom…ending startup sequence…
Latune: !
Katina: What the!?
Rai: That’s…! Who do you have in that Valsion!?
Alder: The only pilot suitable for that mech! My trump card!
Rio: I-Is that Princess Shine in that Valsion…!?
Adler: Correct. With her precognitive ability and my GEIM System…
Alder: The power of the Valsion Custom will be unbeatable!
Aya: Y-You’re insane…! How could you force her to be a pilot!?
Latune: …What you’ve done is…unforgivable…!
Ingram: (…If an untrained princess can fight for them…then…)
Ingram: (The GEIM System must be a control system for unmanned units.)
Ingram: (But, if it needs a human brain to function…)
Ingram: (It’s not complete as a man-machine interface, just like the T-LINK System.)
Adler: So, what will you do? Could you really destroy a mech with Shine on board?
Shine: …Target…confirmed…
Shine: …Prepare for…attack…
Radha: Is she completely under its control…? I-In that case…we only have a few minutes to save her…!
Masaki: Too much longer, and she’ll end up like Tenzan…!
Kyosuke: …Here goes.
Rai: Kyosuke! Haven’t you been listening!? That Valsion is having…
Kyosuke: …Then we have no time to waste…let’s go.
Latune: …You really think we can save her!?
Kyosuke: I don’t know…but we don’t have much choice.
Excellen: This is the hand we’ve been dealt…
Kyosuke: Yeah. Let’s hope we don’t draw the joker.
Bullet: We’re going to destroy the Valsion!?
Kyosuke: We’re going to disable it…don’t attack her directly.
Katina: Are you sure that’s going to save her!?
Ingram: Attention everyone. We can save the Princess if we stop the GEIM System before it takes her.
Ingram: Which gives us…about four minutes.
Tasuku: Th-There’s just no way!
Katina: We’re saving the princess! That’s all you need to know!!
Latune: Princess Shine…hang in there!
Rai: I swear…we will save you…!
Adler: You’re all fools. You think your toy mechs can beat two Valsions?
Lune: Our ‘toy mechs’ don’t rely on puppets!
Lune: Here we go, everybody…those Valsions…let’s take them down!
*Conditions updated, Battle resumes*
*Lower Shine’s Valsion Kai to below 10%*
Shine: A…ah…
Rai: Princess Shine!
Adler: Wh-What the!? They destroyed the GEIM System!?
Kyosuke: Okay…! Now we rescue Princess Shine!
Shine: …uh, ugh…
Adler: Grr…how dare you! I’d rather die than suffer defeat to you!
Lily: …We can’t let his madness continue!
Lily: Ready the main cannon! Target: Gray Stork!
Adler: What the!?
*Gray Stork is attacked*
Kyosuke: What? Infighting…?
Alder: Y-You insignificant…!!
Lily: Now’s your chance! Master Raidiese, Leona…rescue the princess!
Rai: !! Lieutenant Colonel Lily…!?
*Shine’s Valsion Kai is recovered*
Kyosuke: Good, Princess Shine is safe.
Irm: *phew* Thanks to that Stork.
Leona: Lt. Colonel, you’re…!
Lily: Don’t worry. I…received this mission from the Commander…
Rai: My father…!?
Adler: Mission!? Argh! You planned this from the start!!
Adler: I won’t stand for this! Die, traitor!!
Lily: !!
*Lily’s Stork is hit*
Lily: Ugh…! All hands, abandon ship…!!
*Hit again*
Adler: Keheheh…foolish woman. You’ve sealed your fate!
Adler: Rot in the afterlife with Bian and Maier!!
Lily: …Thank you…
Adler: Hm? What did she say? Has she gone mad?
Lily: I am grateful that you watched over me…until the end…
Lily: …Sanger Zonvolt. You’re going to have to…take care of the rest…
Adler: H…huh!?
*Hit one more time*
Lily: (Ah…Commander Maier…)
Lily: (I’ll be by your side, soon…)
*Lily’s Stork is destroyed*
Leona: Lieutenant Colonel…!!
Rai: Tch…!
*Grungust Type-0 arrives*
Sanger: …..
Bullet: Major Sanger!?
Irm: Tch, not here! Not now…!
Kyosuke: Lt. Irm! Something…isn’t right.
Adler: Where have you been all this time, Sanger!?
Sanger: …..
Kyosuke: …Sanger. Why didn’t you do anything? …I though she saved your life…
Sanger: Stay out of it, Kyosuke…!
Kyosuke: !?
Sanger: Sometimes…the soul of a warrior…deserves to pass on…in peace…
Adler: Of course. Traitors are better off accepting death.
Sanger: …..
Adler: You know what to do to earn my pardon. Take down the Hagane and Hiryu with the Type-0!
Sanger: Silence…! You are the true traitor…and you will face the consequences!
Adler: !?
Sanger: Now I will accomplish my mission!
Adler: Mission!?
Sanger: Yes! To find and strengthen a force to defeat the aliens!
Bullet: !! I knew that the Major….!
Excellen: Took long enough. But…the time’s finally come.
Kyosuke: He’s not that subtle…though neither are we.
Sanger: Now, Adler…your selfish, blind DC has no purpose anymore!
Sanger: I’ll do what I must for us to regain our original purpose!
Adler: Hmph…you’re just a relic, like Bian and Maier.
Sanger: BE SILENT!!
Adler: !
*CG Scene of Type-0 readying it’s Colossal Blade*
Sanger: AND LISTEN!!
Sanger: My name is Sanger! Sanger Zonvolt!! The sword that smites evil!!
Sanger: The DC has strayed from its cause! And now, my Colossal Blade will crush you for the injustices you’ve wrought!!
Adler: Wha-wha-what!?
Adler: You-you know nothing about the DC’s purpose!! And it is you who will die here!!
Sanger: Wrong! My Type-0 will give you a one way ticket to the underworld!!
Kyosuke: …Sanger…I mean, Major Sanger…
Sanger: Kyosuke…heh…you would call me that?
Kyosuke: …..
Sanger: …I’m not asking you to forgive me.
Sanger: But right now, we have a mutual enemy to face!!
Kyosuke: Understood…!
Adler: No matter! I’ll crush you both!!
*Conditions update, Battle resumes*
*Defeat Tenzan*
Tenzan: What the!? How’d I get hit!?
Tenzan: Oh well, I’ll just have to ‘Continue’!
Tenzan: At least my HP will recover fully, yahahahaha!!
Ryusei: T-Tenzan…!
Tenzan: If I can level grind, I’ll rule the entire world!!
Tenzan: Hyahahaha! BWAHAHAHAHA…!!
{Defeat Tenzan with Ryusei}
Tenzan: H-Heh…it really is game over…!
Ryusei: ! Tenzan!?
Tenzan: Don’t forget, Ryusei…you and I are the same…everyone here is the same…!
Ryusei: …!
Tenzan: Ha! War will always makesthe best kind of game!!
Tenzan: Bwaha! Bwahahahaha!!
*Either way, his Valsion Kai explodes*
Ryusei: Tenzan..the difference between you and me is…
Ryusei: I had friends…I had Rai and Aya beside me…
{Kill Adler with Lune}
Lune: This is the end! Adler Koch!
Adler: L-Little brat! You won’t be the one to end me!
Lune: You bastardized the DC…apologize to my father in the afterlife!
{Kill Adler with Sanger}
Sanger: The DC dies with you!
*Regardless of who gets the kill*
Alder: F-Fools…! I-I deserve better than Bian or Maier…
Adler: The DC…th-the world…should rightfully be mine!!
Adler: If I die here, there is no future for humanity! I must return to the Earth Cradle at all costs!!
Adler: I-If I go there, not even the Aerogaters could touch me!!
Adler: Escape! I must escape! Ready my mini jet!
Adler: !?
Adler: Wh-What!? Where is everyone!? Have I been abandoned!?
Adler: W-wa-wait! You can’t desert your commander!!
Adler: I need to escape! Escape from this place!
Adler: I m-must escaaaaaaape…!!!
*You got what you deserved*
{If Sanger got the kill}
Sanger: Nobody…can withstand me!!
Sanger: Commander Maier…I have completed my mission…!
*Clear the map*
{If the Hiryu Kai was deployed}
Eun: All enemy units confirmed down!
Lune: (Dad…I finally did it.)
Lefina: That means the DC’s main units are all gone…
Sean: All that’s left is Earth Cradle…and that guy.
{If the Hagane was deployed}
Eita: All enemy units confirmed down!
Lune: (Dad…I finally did it.)
Tetsuya: Finally, the DC’s main units are all gone…
Daitetsu: All except for the Earth cradle…and him.
{Regardless}
Kyosuke: Major Sanger…
Sanger: Kyosuke, the person in charge of the Earth Cradle is Dr. Sophia Nate…
Sanger: She disagrees with war, and is genuinely concerned about the Earth’s future.
Sanger: Now that we’ve defeated Adler, you don’t need to worry about her.
Kyosuke: Whatever you say, Major…but…
Bullet: Major…I have a request. Could you lend us a hand?
Sanger: …I’m afraid I can’t go with you.
Katina: Why not!? You’ve completed your mission. You settled things with the DC!
Rai: The princess is safe…I don’t have a problem with you.
Ryusei: Yeah. Wasn’t your betrayal just a cover anyway?
Sanger: My mission may be complete, but the crimes I committed were too great…I cannot return to the EFA.
Bullet: But!
Sanger: Farewell. I hope we can meet again someday…
Kyosuke: Major.
Sanger: I have nothing left to teach you.
Sanger: No, I have one more thing to say. Follow the path you believe in.
Sanger: Don’t let anything stop you.
Kyosuke: …Understood.
*Grungust Type-0 departs*
Bullet: Major Sanger!
Excellen: Let him go, Bullet.
Bullet: But why!?
Excellen: Consider how he must feel…let’s just leave him be, alright?
Bullet: A-Alright…
Kyosuke: Bullet, I think that it’s almost certain…that he’ll fight alongside us again.
Kyosuke: To protect the Earth against the Aerogaters…until they’re defeated at last.
Earth Cradle – Command Center
Egret: …So Adler’s dead. It’s just as I thought.
Sophia: The Earth Cradle will be handing over the remaining DC members to the EFA.
Sophia: Any objections, Dr. Feff?
Egret: No. We’ll close the Gate of Magus before they arrive.
Sophia: Very well…then, Sir Joyce…
Sophia: Please relay this message to the captains of the Hiryu and Hagane.
Joyce: …Yes ma’am. And, you two?
Sophia: …We’re ceasing all communication…
Sophia: To prepare for our frozen sleep inside the Earth Cradle.
Joyce: …..
Sophia: …This may well be the last time we see each other.
Joyce: …You’re not going to assist the Hagane or Hiryu?
Sophia: …..
Egret: …..
Joyce: …If you added your technology to their military power…
Joyce: They could face any threat…
Sophia: …I can understand what Major Sanger has said.
Sophia: But…we must prepare for the worst.
Sophia: Even if that means a long journey to the future…
Joyce: …I understand. You’ve made up your mind.
Sophia: …Yes. However…
Sophia: We do hope that such preparations are in vain…
Joyce : Dr. Nate…
Egret: …..
Sophia: …Sir Joyce, please tell everyone…
Sophia: To hope for a brighter future…
Joyce: …I will tell them that. Farewell…
Hagane – Briefing room
Garnet: Hey, hey! Princess Shine has awakened!
Tasuku: Awesome! She’s alright!
Garnet: Oh, and Joyce is fine, too.
Excellen: Wow, that’s great! …Uh, where was he?
Giado: I heard he was confined in de Earth Cradle. Right now, he’s headed dis way.
Latune: Princess…are you…feeling alright?
Shine: I was feeling a little strange…but now I’m okay.
Tasuku: Man, you’re strong. I thought you’d be in hysterics.
Shine: …Everyone, you have my thanks for coming to my aid.
Garnet: No need to thank us. Still, you really are strong. If it were me, I be crying like a baby.
Rai: I heard the Princess was awake…
Shine: Sir Rai…!
Rai: M-Milady…?
Shine: I…I…
Shine: I was so scared…but…I knew my knight…
Shine: I knew you, Latune, and everyone else would rescue me…
Rai: Knight? Well, I’m glad you’re safe…
Excellen: Most girls dream about a knight in shining armor…you really do have a lot to learn.
Tasuku: Yeah, but now she IS crying.
Excellen: That’s because she’s so happy…understand, Rai?
Rai: I do. So, let’s leave her alone for a while…
Hagane – Bridge
Lefina: So, the Earth Cradle isn’t going to fight the EFA?
Joyce: That’s correct…
Lefina: Then Major Sanger was telling the truth…
Tetsuya: And what’s going to happen to the Earth Cradle…?
Joyce: Soon, they’ll be going into a state of human hibernation.
Sean: Hmmm…what do you think, Captain Daitetsu?
Daitetsu: …..
Sean: They still have the GEIM System and the Cradle’s defensive weapons…
Daitetsu: Dr. Sophia Nate is working for the future, like us.
Daitetsu: I believe we can trust her…
Hagane – Mess hall
Excellen: …Hibernation, huh?
Kyosuke: You can’t really blame them. The aliens…from what little we’ve seen of the Aerogaters…
Kyosuke: Their recon units were on par with the DC’s main forces.
Bullet: …You’re right, we haven’t even faced the main force.
Katina: What, don’t tell me the ATX Team is paralyzed with fear.
Katina: If you’re that afraid, why don’t you just hide in the Earth Cradle?
Excellen: Hey, Lieutenant, it’s not like we’re getting ready for a playdate.
Tasuku: We’d be better off if Lt Katina were frozen…
Katina: Huh…? Tasuku, you’re just asking for me to put you on ice.
Leona: I’ll help, Lieutenant.
Tasuku: L-Leona…you break my heart…
Kusuha: …So, are they going into hibernation immediately?
Lune: Not yet. They still have last minute preparations.
Masaki: If worst comes to worst, the DC scientists might be the only surviving members of the human race.
Lune: The DC is gone. We need to win this…with our own hands.
Masaki: …Yeah, you’re right.
Irm: But, the Earth’s environment will need time to regenerate itself, so the hibernation will be even longer.
Irm: I don’t think I could wait that long…
Irm: Unless I had a sleeping beauty to wake up.
Excellen: There’s not much point in that, if you’re asleep yourself.
Irm: True enough.
Kyosuke: I can’t do that, I need cards to play.
Tasuku: You and your cards…
Kusuha: But, those people…once they go to sleep, they can’t come back…
Masaki: Don’t talk like that. We haven’t lost to the aliens yet, have we?
Kusuha: Masaki…
Lune: Besides, if we save the Earth, they won’t have to sleep.
Kyosuke: …That’s our only option, so let’s do it.
Irm: Exactly. We have to do whatever we can.
Kusuha: Right…
Hagane – Hangar – If the Valsion Kai was acquired
Ingram: Radha, what have we learned from the cockpit?
Radha: The interface is custom made.
Ingram: …Custom?
Radha: I assume that was for the Princess. It was easy to remove.
Ryoto: Other than the System, the rest of the parts aren’t dangerous to use. And, the repairs were fairly easy…
Ingram: So, it should be alright for us to use it.
Ryoto: …I don’t know about that…
Radha: …Yes…not after what happened…
Ingram: …What does Lune think?
Radha: …She would rather use it herself than someone else, but she has no intention of doing so…
Ingram: …I see. Start converting the cockpit, then.
Aya: Is that…a Valsion Kai!? What’s it doing here..?
Radha: This is the one the Princess was in.
Aya: S-Still…are you sure it’s okay to use this?
Ingram: It was my decision…any objections, Aya?
Aya: N-No…I…of course not, Major…
Ingram: (A Valsion. Hmph…even this won’t be enough.)
Hagane – Bridge
Shine: …You’re sending me back to Riksent?
Sean: Yes. The battle with the DC has already been resolved…
Sean: So your life is no longer in danger.
Daitetsu: We can’t let you stay with us forever…
Daitetsu: Besides, we’re heading into a huge battle.
Shine: …..
Shine: …I understand. While I feel as though I’ve been accepted here…I know that I have no such place for where you are going.
Lefina: …Princess…
Shine: So, though I would rather stay, I shall return to my country.
Rai: Right…you have a duty to guide and protect your home.
Shine: Yes.
Rai: And…that is your part in this battle.
Shine: I know, Sir Raidiese. That is why I am returning.
Latune: Princess Shine…
Shine: Latune…I’m so glad that I met you.
Latune: Me too…and thanks for buying me these glasses.
Shine: Teeheehee, we’re friends after all. I knew that they would suit you.
Latune: Yeah.
Shine: Sir Raidiese…I hope to see you again, my prince.
Rai: Prince…? I don’t know about that.
Sean: Maybe if you were to ride in on a black stallion, you’d have more of a princely bearing.
Rai: Black? Oh, very funny.
Shine: Everyone, I thank you for all you’ve done for me. I wish you luck in the coming war…
Rai: Take care of yourself, Princess…
