EFA Ship Bridge
Kai: Ugh!! What’s the situation!?
EFA Soldier: The fleet and ground forces have been destroyed…n-no, they’ve been absorbed!!
Kai: Absorbed!? What do you mean!?
EFA Soldier: Th-That’s the only way to describe it, judging by the visual…!
Kai: Wh-What…!?
{Alarm}
Operator: The target’s changing shape!! It’s getting bigger!!
Kai: We’ll escape this sector! Broadcast a message on all frequencies not to approach Aidoneus!!
Operator: Y-Yes sir!
Kai: Blasted Aerogaters…! We had their ultimate weapon all along…!!
EFA Soldier: Major! The Kurogane and Hiryu Custom are descending!
Kai: Wh-What!? Are they headed to Aidoneus!?
{CG Shot of Meteor 3 rising into the air above Aidoneus Island as the Hiryu and Kurogane approach}
Daitetsu: Are you positive!?
Tetsuya: Y-Yes sir! The shape is different…but it’s Meteor 3!!
Sean: Incredible…! Who would’ve believed that thing was a weapon…!!
Lefina: …The Balmarian safety device…that Levi mentioned…
Daitetsu: It has awakened…to bring about our extinction…!!
Ryoto: …..
Ryoto: …Of course, it all makes sense now…
Rio: What do you mean!?
Ryoto: Meteor 3…the reason why it was gravity-anchored…
Kyosuke: Then, they were waiting for today…!
Ryoto: Y-Yes…Dr. Bian must have known the truth, somehow…
Ryoto: So…he decided to watch over Meteor 3…
Lune: That’s why my dad established the DC headquarters here…!?
Kyosuke: …Perhaps.
Elzam: The gears of fate…were already in motion…!
Latune: But…even though Dr. Bian’s intelligence was unparalleled…
Latune: Even he couldn’t reveal the true form of Meteor 3…
Radha: …Can we…can we defeat it…!?
Viletta: …..
Viletta: (…If the Septuagint continues to grow…)
Viletta: (…All of mankind, and their creations, will be impaled by the Zfylud Crystals…)

Lefina: !!

Katina: Wh-What the!? I see both EFA and DC weapons!!

Gilliam: Yes. We will suffer the same fate…
Russel: A-And become…their weapon…!?
Leona: No, not just that…
Leona: We’ll lose our memories…and become a part of Meteor 3…!
Garnet: I-I don’t like this! I didn’t survive the war…to be absorbed by Meteor 3!
Giado: Enough! Dat’s not gonna happen!
Ryusei: Right! I’ll break that rock in two!
Irm: …Yes. This is the destiny of the survivors of the war.
Tasuku: If that thing gets off this island…we’re finished.
Rai: Right…we can’t retreat. We must stop the Aerogaters.
Aya: We can’t let anyone else suffer like Major Ingram.
Kusuha: For that reason…!
Bullet: We must destroy that meteor!!
Excellen: That’s the spirit! Right, Kyosuke?
Kyosuke: …To become a part…of Meteor 3…
Excellen: Like, death do us part…?
Kyosuke: No. That rock…is preventing us from achieving peace.
Lune: For the sake of those like my father…we’ll finish this once and for all!!
Masaki: Right! We won’t let them destroy this planet!
Sanger: Captain! Give us the order for the final battle!!

Daitetsu: You’re just a big rock…! We won’t lose!
Daitetsu: The one who will be judged today…is you!!
Daitetsu: Attention!!
Daitetsu: I ask you to recall…what we’ve been fighting for…!
Daitetsu: Until now…so many have died…!
Daitetsu: Because of our lack of power, many have suffered…!
Daitetsu: However! Once again, we must combine our power!!
Daitetsu: We must destroy Meteor 3 at all costs!!
Lefina: Yes…we’ll put an end to this war…once and for all…!
