Previous Chapter: The Adjudicator
Kurogane – Bridge
Eita: Meteor 3 down!!
Tetsuya: D-Did we…do it this time…?
Eita: Y-Yes sir!
Tetsuya: …G-Good…
Daitetsu: …..
Daitetsu: (It’s…finally over…)
Daitetsu: Good work, everyone. As of now, Operation SRW is terminated.
Tetsuya: Affirmative, sir…now I can enjoy a drink with you.
Daitetsu: Ha ha…you’re quite right.
Izu Base – Briefing Room
Rai: …Now that Meteor 3 and Judecca are both gone…
Rai: Neviim has ceased its activities completely.
Ryusei: …..
Rai: What’s wrong?
Ryusei: …Hey, Rai. Was Levi…
Rai: …..
Aya: …..
Radha: …Mai Kobayashi, Aya’s younger sister…
Radha: Apparently…she didn’t die in the ICS accident…
Radha: Major Ingram took her to the White Star. There…she was brainwashed…
Rai: …In the end, most of the Aerogaters were human…
Rai: They were just being controlled by Judecca.
Ryusei: Was that the only choice we had…?
Radha: …Yes. Kusuha’s case was an exception…
Radha: There was no other way to free their minds…
Ryusei: …..
Aya: …Ryu, Major Ingram…remember what he said.
Aya: Forget the past, and look to the future…
Ryusei: Aya…
Rai: Captain…
Aya: So, I’ll…move past their deaths and continue on.
Ryusei: Good.
Aya: And…
Aya: I know…that I’ll see my sister and the Major again.
Ryusei: Huh…?
Aya: I don’t know why…I just feel it…
Izu Base – Gilliam’s Quarters
Gilliam: …Viletta, Ingram was…
Viletta: He was the agent of those who built Neviim…
Viletta: He was made to awaken when an able race was found, and then bound to Judecca’s will…
Viletta: His mission was to raise and collect superior ‘weapons’…
Gilliam: …..
Viletta: But, for some reason Ingram didn’t awaken as programmed…
Viletta: His goal was to free himself from Judecca’s power…
Viletta: So…the Ingram who betrayed you…wasn’t the real one…
Viletta: The real Ingram…was…
Gilliam: I see…
Viletta: …..
Gilliam: (So…when I said Ingram had a complex mentality…I was correct.)
Gilliam: …I have another question. Why weren’t you under Judecca’s control?
Viletta: When Judecca’s power was still weak, Ingram…created me to act as his agent
Viletta: You might say I’m his half-sister…
Gilliam: …..
Viletta: He created me using his own DNA as a base…
Viletta: In other words, a replacement for himself.
Viletta: And, he entrusted me with a mission…
Viletta: In order to carry it out, I had to align myself with both sides of this war.
Gilliam: Then…
Viletta: So to say, I was a double agent…
Viletta: …Heh…I don’t know what else to say…
Gilliam: …..
Gilliam: …One question remains.
Gilliam: Who created Neviim?
Viletta: The Imperial Supervision Army, of the Balmar civilization…
Viletta: But, even Ingram wasn’t
Gilliam: Then…?
Viletta: …According to the instructions left by his creators, Ingram piloted Neviim through space…
Viletta: Found Earth, released Meteor 3…
Viletta: And tried to collect living ‘weapons’.
Viletta: Just as he was programmed by his creators…where they are, or if they still exist, is unknown.
Gilliam: I see…
Gilliam: (…Then there’s a possibility that the aliens we made contact with in Antarctica weren’t the Balmarians.)
Gilliam: (Either way…there are other races in the galaxy…)
Gilliam: (It’s…mixed with things beyond our imagination…)
Gilliam: (…Like a giant scientific test tube…)
Gilliam: (…Then, the results of the experiment are…)
Viletta: …..
Gilliam: …Viletta. I’ll be returning to the intelligence bureau.
Gilliam: I’ll probably be busy investigating the White Star.
Gilliam: So…I’d like you to help.
Viletta: …..
Gilliam: With your knowledge and skills, you’d be the perfect choice. Of course, your secret would be safe with me.
Viletta: …I’m sorry. I have an order from Ingram…
Viletta: I must accompany the SRX Team.
Gilliam: …I figured as much. Well, I won’t force you to come.
Viletta: But, call me anytime you need my help. I’ll be glad to assist.
Gilliam: I’d greatly appreciate it.
Viletta: And, Major…I’d like to thank you.
Gilliam: Thank ME?
Viletta: Yes. For trusting me…
Gilliam: Heh…likewise.
Kurogane – Bridge
Daitetsu: So…you’ll be returning to Icarus in the asteroid belt?
Sean: Yes. That’s where the Hiryu Custom was originally from…
Sean: And we must look to the future, and begin constructing the defense net in the solar system.
Daitetsu: Returning to the ocean of stars and leaving me here?
Sean: Don’t be so pessimistic. We’ve both chosen to fulfill different missions.
Daitetsu: Ha…perhaps you just want to escape the Earth’s gravity and political complications?
Sean: Perhaps, if you put it like that.
Daitetsu: Very well. However..the next time we drink together…
Daitetsu: Bring your McCarran 117 with you, OK?
Sean: Heh heh…you’ve got a deal, Captain.
Hiryu Kai – Hangar
Tasuku: …Major Sanger and Major Elzam are missing?
Bullet: Yeah…after the battle, they never returned to the Kurogane or Hiryu Kai.
Leona: (…Elzam…)
Tasuku: …..
Excellen: …You mean, they’re MSG?
Tasuku: …That’s MIA, Major Elzam doesn’t cook with MSG.
Excellen: Oh…but, where did he and the boss go?
Kyosuke: Whenever the Earth faces its next crisis…we’ll see them again…I’m sure of it.
Excellen: Maybe they’re training somewhere…like in the nearby mountains.
Bullet: …Hey, Tasuku. Are you really going to the asteroid belt?
Tasuku: …Yeah. I’ve grown attached to the Hiryu Kai. I feel like I just naturally fit in there.
Leona: …..
Bullet: Well…we’ll miss ya.
Tasuku: I will too. But you’ve got yourself Kusuha now, right?
Bullet: Wh-Wha-a-a…
Tasuku: Ha, nice reaction. You need to learn how to take a joke in stride.
Bullet: Th-That’s not fair. You knew how I’d react.
Tasuku: Well, anyways…take good care of her. And tell Rio and Ryoto we said goodbye.
Excellen: ( Hey hey, Tasuku?)
Tasuku: (Wh-What? Why are you whispering?)
Excellen: (You wanna give her up? What if this is your last chance?)
Tasuku: (L-Last chance…)
Kyosuke: …Tasuku. If you’re a gambler…give it a shot…like me.
Tasuku: L-Like you…wait a sec, you mean your bet with Lt. Irm!?
Kyosuke: Right…you have to help me win.
Tasuku: (O-OK…)
Tasuku: H-Hey…Leona.
Leona: …What?
Tasuku: W-Would you like…to come…back to Icarus Base w-with me?
Tasuku: A-And maybe…you can cook dinner…f-for me?
Leona: …Even though I’m a terrible cook?
Tasuku: Yeah. I mean no, I mean…y’know…
Excellen: (Ouccchhh…this isn’t going well…good thing he isn’t proposing.)
Tasuku: S-So? What…what do you think?
Leona: …..
Leona: …OK.
Tasuku: Wh-What!? Really!? Are you serious!?
Leona: Yeah. With you around…I’ll never get bored.
Tasuku: Hooray! Hey, Tasuku Shinguji!! I’ve just won the bet…of a lifetime!!
Excellen: Way to go, Tasuku!
Bullet: (…So that was his pitch, huh…I don’t get it…)
Kyosuke: (…He better think over the dinner part.)
Katina: Hey, Tasuku! What’re you still doing here!?
Russel: Didn’t you hear the Hiryu is leaving soon?
Tasuku: Ah, alright. Let’s go, Leona.
Leona: I have something to tell you first.
Tasuku: ?
Leona: If you break my heart…I’ll punish you harder than Katina.
Tasuku: Ugh…y-yes ma’am.
Excellen: (Uh oh, he’s already under her control…)
Katina: What’s going on?
Excellen: Heeheehee, you’ll find out soon enough, Lieutenant.
Katina: Whatever…I’m leaving.
Kyosuke: Take care.
Katina: Heh, same to you…when I get my own personal mech, I’ll come back to brag about it.
Russel: (First she took Kyosuke’s Gespenst…then she painted it red…)
Russel: (Now she’s taking it with her to the Asteroid Belt…)
Katina: Eh? What? Russel…something you want to say?
Russel: No…nothing…well, everybody…
Excellen: Take care.
Kyosuke: …Good luck.
Kurogane – Bridge
Eita: Captain, there’s a call from the Hiryu Custom.
Daitetsu: Patch it through.
Lefina: …Well then, Captain Daitetsu…we’re leaving for Icarus Base now.
Daitetsu: I see.
Lefina: In the time that we fought side-by-side, I learned so much from you…thank you so much.
Daitetsu: Thank YOU. We never could have won without the Hiryu.
Lefina: No…the credit goes to all the soldiers who participated in Operation SRW.
Daitetsu: …You’re right.
Tetsuya: …..
Lefina: Tetsuya…
Tetsuya: Ma’am…?
Lefina: Sean and I agree, you’re a great Vice-Captain. Have confidence in yourself.
Tetsuya: Th…Thank you, ma’am.
Lefina: Then, everybody…
Daitetsu: Yes. We’ll see you again…Captain Lefina. You, and everyone on the Hiryu Kai.
Lefina: Yeah. I look forward to it…
Tetsuya: …..
Eita: What’s wrong, sir? You seem dazed…
Tetsuya: Oh, it’s nothing.
Eita: Oh. Could you be…?
Tetsuya: Never mind that. Send a signal that says “Godspeed”.
Eita: Y-Yes, sir.
Daitetsu: Prepare for departure. We’re leaving too…for our own base.
Tetsuya: Yes, Captain. You can finally see your grandchild.
Daitetsu: Yes…she’s getting cuter every day.
Daitetsu: …Did I say something wrong, Vice-Captain?
Tetsuya: No sir. Your orders?
Daitetsu: Right. Destination, the Far East Brigade…Izu Base.
Tetsuya: Aye, Izu Base!
Izu Base – Command Center
Sakae: …Commander Laker, the Kurogane will arrive soon.
Laker: Heh…it feels strange…welcoming a former enemy ship.
Sakae: …Yes.
Kai: It’s been a long time since the Hagane launched.
Laker: Yes…I’m sure the late General Norman Slay would be proud of them.
Kai: …..
Laker: …We can’t waste the sacrifices our comrades made.
Laker: And the future that they’ve given us…we must protect it at all costs.
Izu Base – Hangar
Irm: *sigh* Finally seeing the old hangar again…makes me feel at home.
Ryoto: Yeah.
Jonathan: Irm.
Irm: Dad…I’m back, as promised.
Jonathan: Yes. That’s my son. Way to go.
Irm: This cancels the address memory thing, right?
Ring: …What do you mean, Irm?
Irm: ! R-Ring!! Why are you here!?
Yuan: Rio…!
Rio: Father!?
Ryoto: (That guy…he’s Rio’s father?)
Irm: Wh-What’s going on!? You’re supposed to be on the moon…!
Ring: When we heard that Op SRW was over…Yuan requested that we come here.
Irm: (Th-That overbearing worrywart…!)
Yuan: Rio…! You’re safe…!
Rio: F-Father…please! Y-You’re embarrassing me…in front of Ryoto!
Yuan: Ryoto…?
Ryoto: Y-Yes…sir. I-I’m…Ryoto Hikawa.
Yuan: Y-You…? W-Well…I….are you dating my daughter…?
Jonathan: Mr. Manager, don’t be ridiculous.
Yuan: J-Jonathan…no, but…
Jonathan: Also…Rob said that Ryoto is an excellent PT engineer.
Jonathan: …He may become a profitable asset to your company, don’t you think?
Yuan: That’s wonderful…
Yuan: No, wait. What are you saying, Doctor!?
Ryoto: It would be my pleasure, sir.
Rio: But, Ryoto…don’t you have to return home?
Ryoto: Yeah…and when I do, my family’s gonna try to get me to take over the dojo…
Rio: Dojo…? What dojo?
Ryoto: Huh…? Oh…our karate dojo…
Rio: Wait a sec…are you a black belt?
Ryoto: S-Sort of.
Rio: …..
Ryoto: Wh-What’s wrong?
Rio: You never…told me about this before…
Ryoto: I-It’s not like I intended to…
Rio: Ryoto! We’re going to have a sparring match!!
Ryoto: A-A match…do you know karate?
Rio: No, but I can’t stand you winning this round! Come on, let’s go!!
Ryoto: (Th-This…this is exactly why I didn’t tell her…)
Irm: (…Now’s my chance…)
Ring: …Where do you think you’re going?
Irm: W-Well, I have things I need to do.
Ring: No excuse?
Irm: …L-Like you’d listen…
Ring: …I’ll listen.
Irm: Huh?
Ring: If you’ve got an excuse for your affair, spill it.
Irm: Yeesh, if that’s your attitude…
Ring: Is it me, or are you not sounding very regretful? Was everything you said on the moon a lie?
Irm: …No, please let me explain.
Ring: Alright…I have time.
Jonathan: (Well, it seems like those two…will be able to work things out.)
Izu Base – Mess Hall
Giado: So, Rio and Ryoto are going to Mao Industries?
Radha: Yes, together with me, the president and the general manager. They’re going to be helping us with the development of our mass-production line.
Garnet: *sigh*He’s a Cinderella boy, huh?
Giado: Ya got dat right.
Garnet: I’m so jealous. By comparison, I…
Giado: Hold it right dere! I spent half a year’s salary to buy you that ring, and that’s what you say!?
Garnet: Teehee, I was just kidding. You’ve given me something…much more valuable.
Radha: ! Wait, you mean…?
Giado: Yeah, dat’s right.
Garnet: As you may have guessed…
Radha: Congrats, you two. When is the ceremony?
Giado: When we get settled. Everyone will be invited.
Radha: Heh, I look forward to it…what about Latune?
Giado: We wanted to adopt her, but she wants to stay here…
Garnet: She’s training under Major Kai, and then she’s gonna look for the other members of The School.
Radha: I see…
Garnet: But, Giado…no matter how far apart, she’ll always be in our hearts, right?
Giado: Yeah, dat’s right. She’s irreplaceable…just like a daughter.
Mess Hall – Some time later
Ryusei: …So, you guys are returning to Langley Base?
Kyosuke: Yep. It was destroyed during the DC War…but now it’s being reconstructed.
Kyosuke: The ATX Team is being transferred there to guard it.
Excellen: That’s where we’re originally from. Man…lotta memories there.
Ryusei: I see…
Marion: Not just them. Master Rishu and I will be going to Langley as well.
Marion: Kyosuke and the others will continue to help me with Project ATX.
Rishu: …Marion. Did you forget the decision the top brass made?
Marion: Hm?
Ryusei: Decision?
Rob: Projects ATX and SRX will be frozen.
Kyosuke: …!
Ryusei: Wh-What!?
Rob: …The projects are considered costly and problematic.
Rob: In addition, Operation SRW has completely emptied our stockpile of mobile weapons…
Rob: So, the top priority now is mass-producing more PTs.
Excellen: Wow…are they gonna fleece our mechs too?
Kyosuke: That’s fleece…Dr. Ohmiya, I don’t understand. If that’s the case, why are they transferring us…?
Rob: Don’t worry. Due to your valor in the war…they have decided to exempt your mechs.
Rob: But…the development of the Grungust Type-3 and the Huckebein MK III have been put on hold…
Ryusei: (I-I didn’t even know they were making those mechs…)
Marion: …I won’t be deterred by this. I already have my next concept.
Marion: The Gespenst MK III…no, the Alteisen Powered…
Marion: And, the Wildwurger…the Wildfalken…
Rob: (I thought the Wild-Series was Kirk’s line…)
Rishu: (Heh heh heh…she seems to have forgotten her grudge.)
Excellen: Wait…Dr. Radom, what about my Weissy?
Marion: And, not only for PTs. For other mechs as well…
Excellen: E-Excuse meeee? What about my…Weissy?
Rishu: Alright. Marion, enough with your head-trip.
Marion: Head-trip…!? How dare you!
Rob: (Heh, Dr. Radom is serious about those mechs…but then again, so am I…)
Masaki: …Hey, Kyosuke, Ryusei.
Lune: We came to say goodbye.
Ryusei: Masaki…Lune…you’re leaving?
Masaki: Yeah. The Earth seems to be OK for now…
Kyosuke: But there’s no sign of Shu Shirakawa…?
Masaki: …I have to find him…no matter where he is, I have to at all costs.
Excellen: I wish we could help you, but…
Masaki: Don’t sweat it. When I decided to help you guys, I wasn’t expecting a reward.
Shiro: Kyosuke, Ryusei, and all you guys have your own missions, meow.
Excellen: What about you, Lune? You staying in the army?
Lune: No. To be honest, the army really isn’t my thing…
Lune: And I feel uncomfortable staying on the Earth after the DC War.
Lune: I’ll be heading to the Moon this Thursday.
Ryusei: Then, everybody’s splitting up.
Lune: Don’t worry. It’s not like we won’t see each other again.
Lune: If anything happens, we’ll all come back.
Excellen: Yeah. Like we’ll be there in thirty minutes, or it’s free?
Kyosuke: We’re not delivering pizzas.
Masaki: …I’m gonna miss you two and your comedy act.
Excellen: Like a…husband and wife sitcom, Masa?
Masaki: Whatever.
Kyosuke: …We should be going.
Kusuha: …Lt. Kyosuke, we’re ready to leave.
Bullet: All we have to do is load our luggage.
Kyosuke: Got it.
Ryusei: …Kusuha, you’re going to Langley too?
Kusuha: No, I’m going to the Tesla-Leicht Institute.
Rishu: At the request of Jonathan. I too shall be working there.
Kusuha: I’ll still be in Japan…for a little while.
Ryusei: I see…
Kusuha: I’ve given it a lot of though…and I decided that I would continue to whatever I can to help protect everyone I care about.
Ryusei: Yeah…let’s both do our best.
Excellen: I’m happy for you, Bullet. Even if it’s a long-distance relationship, Tesla-Leicht is closer than Japan.
Bullet: Wh-What do you mean…long-distance?
Masaki: …I should be going now.
Lune: Kuro, Shiro…make sure Masaki doesn’t get lost.
Shiro: We’ll try, meow.
Kuro: …It won’t be easy, though.
Kyosuke: Ryusei…take good care of the Far East.
Ryusei: No worries. Masaki, leave the Earth to us.
Masaki: OK. But, if you need me…I’ll be right there in my Cybuster.
Masaki: Alright, see ya…!
Izu Base – Briefing Room
Aya: …It’s so quiet here now.
Latune: …Yeah…
Aya: Still, Latune…are you sure you don’t want to go with Giado?
Latune: …I want to find the other members of The School…
Latune: …Ouka, Arado, Seolla…I’m sure they’re alive…
Ryusei: Hey, Aya. You wanted to see me?
Aya: Yes. We have a special vacation.
Aya: …But only while the R-Series is being fixed.
Ryusei: Really!?
Aya: Yes. So, you should go home. Visit your mother.
Ryusei: ! M-My ma…!? But, isn’t she tied to this hospital…?
Aya: Major Gilliam and Viletta…that is, Captain Viletta…
Aya: They did you a favor. And…she’s free now.
Ryusei: A-Are you sure?
Aya: Yes. It’s…well, it’s the least we could do for the two of you.
Latune: I’ll take care of the repairs…go see your mom.
Ryusei: …Thanks. Well then, I’ll be seeing you…
Kyoto
Joyce: Princess Shine, are you sure Sir Raidiese will be here…?
Shine: Yes, Joyce. I…I just know it.
Joyce: But, this is a temple…is he visiting someone’s grave?
Shine: …..
Joyce: My lady, the Federal Emergency Council will be meeting soon. We can’t be late…
Shine: We still have some time. I confirmed it with President Midcrid.
Shine: For security measures, he told me to arrive two hours late…more or less.
Joyce: …I understand. My apologies, your Highness.
Joyce: (Nonetheless…it’s very impressive you dealt with him directly…)
Joyce: (You’ve really grown, Princess. I am proud of you.)
Shine: I’d just…like to see him one more time.
Rai: …..
Shine: (Oh…Sir Rai…!)
Rai: …! Princess Shine, why are you here?
Shine: A-Ah…I…I just wanted to thank you…
Rai: Thank…me?
Shine: Yes. I wanted to thank everybody, but I didn’t have time…
Rai: No need, milady. We just did our jobs.
Shine: Sir Rai…
Rai: …..
Shine: May I…may I ask one thing? Who’s grave is that…?
Rai: …Cattleya Fujiwara-Branstein…my sister-in-law.
Shine: Fujiwara…?
Rai: She was of Japanese descent.
Shine: Sir Rai, does the ‘F’ in your name stand for…?
Rai: Yes. When I left the house of Branstein…
Rai: We couldn’t recover her remains. I took her name so…I wouldn’t forget her.
Rai: But, I…I don’t think I need it anymore.
Shine: …..
Shine: Oh…?
Shine: Sir Rai, her grave already has flowers…
Rai: …These are Cattleyas…
Rai: (Hm…they must be from Elzam…)
Fujisawa
Ryusei: …..
Ryusei: (It’s been a long time…since I’ve been back.)
Yukiko: Ryu…! You’re back…?
Ryusei: Yeah, as promised.
Yukiko: …..
Yukiko: …I’m so happy to see you.
Ryusei: Me too…
Ryusei: I’m home, Ma.
