1. Hey, Partner.
Copy !req
2. Uh, mind if I call you partner?
Copy !req
3. Hey, Ash! Do you have
another mission after this?
Copy !req
4. As of today, this place will be
granted authority over you.
Copy !req
5. This parting... was inevitable.
Copy !req
6. No, come with me!
Copy !req
7. Again, that same dream...
Copy !req
8. The name of a massive
space fleet consisting of...
Copy !req
9. several hundred spacecraft
with a Mothership at its core.
Copy !req
10. With its formation, exploration of
outer space became possible...
Copy !req
11. and paved the way for a new history.
Copy !req
12. When a new planet is discovered,
ARKS is sent forth to investigate.
Copy !req
13. ARKS is comprised of the well-balanced Humans,
the exceptional Photon-wielding Newmans,
Copy !req
14. and a third race, the powerful
and heavy-duty CASTs.
Copy !req
15. In order to eradicate the Falspawn
which lurk on planets near and far,
Copy !req
16. the ARKS organization was formed.
Copy !req
17. Until the day there is peace in space,
the fleet's journey will continue.
Copy !req
18. Attention, new ARKS in the making.
Copy !req
19. "I've Been Waiting for this Day"
Copy !req
20. "I've Been Waiting for this Day"
You're about to take your first
steps into the vast universe.
Copy !req
21. Now you must seal your decision
by inputting your personal data.
Copy !req
22. We welcome you with open arms.
Copy !req
23. Hey, Partner.
Copy !req
24. Uh, since we're in the same group,
mind if I call you partner?
Copy !req
25. My name's Afin. How about you?
Copy !req
26. I...
Copy !req
27. Well, we can take all the time you need.
Copy !req
28. Where are you from, Partner?
Copy !req
29. Ship 74.
Copy !req
30. Really? I'm from Ship 74 too!
Copy !req
31. What a coincidence! Which school?
Copy !req
32. We might've gone to the same one!
Copy !req
33. Doubtful. I was raised in an orphanage.
Copy !req
34. I wonder what this Naverius planet
we're headed for is like?
Copy !req
35. You've got to be kidding me. Never heard of it?
Copy !req
36. That planet got discovered a long time ago.
Copy !req
37. Really?
Copy !req
38. Yeah, and since there's no
Falspawn there anymore,
Copy !req
39. it's the perfect planet for training recruits.
Copy !req
40. Lucky us, Partner! Seems easy!
Copy !req
41. Hmph! I'd be a little more
cautious if I were you.
Copy !req
42. I hear those Native Creatures
are pretty vicious.
Copy !req
43. Plus, being as puny as you are,
you might just die.
Copy !req
44. —Hey. Did you aspire to join ARKS
like me ever since you were young?
Copy !req
45. —Are you a Fighter?
—Hey. Did you aspire to join ARKS
like me ever since you were young?
Copy !req
46. —Yeah.
—Hey. Did you aspire to join ARKS
like me ever since you were young?
Copy !req
47. —You know, Knuckles are best for Fighters.
—Hey. Did you aspire to join ARKS
like me ever since you were young?
Copy !req
48. —That's what you think.
—Are you that curious about
other people's lives?
Copy !req
49. What made you so interested in joining ARKS?
Copy !req
50. Me? I...
Copy !req
51. Because I want to see the true sky!
Copy !req
52. I see.
Copy !req
53. I...
Copy !req
54. I want to find out... just who I am.
Copy !req
55. Whoa! So this is Naverius?
Copy !req
56. Recruits, line up!
Copy !req
57. In just a moment, we'll descend to Naverius.
Copy !req
58. For you recruits, this'll be your
first descent to the surface.
Copy !req
59. If you can't keep up in combat,
you'll be left behind.
Copy !req
60. Hold your egos in check and
strive for the final exam.
Copy !req
61. Recruits, descend!
Copy !req
62. Ow!
Copy !req
63. Come on now, I fear for your future.
Copy !req
64. Ow, ow, ow.
Copy !req
65. Are you okay?
Copy !req
66. Thank you, Partner.
Copy !req
67. All right, listen up.
Copy !req
68. From here we're heading to point Beta-1.
Copy !req
69. In the event we encounter
enemy Native Creatures,
Copy !req
70. it's our mission to exterminate them.
Copy !req
71. Form ranks!
Copy !req
72. Yes sir!
Copy !req
73. I-It doesn't seem very friendly to me.
Copy !req
74. It's a Native Creature gone
vicious thanks to F-Factor.
Copy !req
75. What will you do?
Copy !req
76. I'll take care of it.
Copy !req
77. It won't take more than a single hit.
Copy !req
78. Well done! You earned yourself a point!
Copy !req
79. All right, let's keep moving!
Copy !req
80. What's wrong, Partner?
Copy !req
81. Whoa, buddy. There's no enemies left.
Copy !req
82. What are you afraid of?
Copy !req
83. What's going on? Don't stand around!
Copy !req
84. R-Right!
Copy !req
85. What the...?
Copy !req
86. Emergency notice from control.
Copy !req
87. Code F has been issued for Naverius.
Copy !req
88. —What? What?
Copy !req
89. —Spatial corruption confirmed.
—What? What?
Copy !req
90. It's Falspawn! Get in formation!
Copy !req
91. These are... Falspawn?
Copy !req
92. Exterminate 'em!
Copy !req
93. What gives? I thought Naverius
didn't have any Falspawn!
Copy !req
94. Stay focused! Hey, recruit!
Copy !req
95. Don't draw their attention!
Go and sneak around from the south!
Copy !req
96. Captain, behind you!
Copy !req
97. Shit!
Copy !req
98. C-Captain...
Copy !req
99. Afin, let's run!
Copy !req
100. But... our comrades...
Copy !req
101. We're the only ones still alive!
Copy !req
102. Come on!
Copy !req
103. The appearance of Falspawn
has been confirmed on Naverius.
Copy !req
104. Spatial corruption has caused
critical Photon Coefficient levels.
Copy !req
105. But why Naverius?
Copy !req
106. That's where...
Copy !req
107. Oribe Unit has been wiped out.
Copy !req
108. I'm confirming just two survivors.
Copy !req
109. We'll head to their aid at once!
Copy !req
110. Why not drink while you can?
Copy !req
111. It's the same as back then.
Copy !req
112. Everyone died.
Copy !req
113. Nothing's changed since 10 years ago.
Copy !req
114. I'm sure you remember seeing
the Falspawn then, right?
Copy !req
115. I was just a scared kid
so I couldn't do anything.
Copy !req
116. That's why I've pushed myself
so hard to join ARKS.
Copy !req
117. Didn't you say it was to see the sky?
Copy !req
118. I'm looking for something.
Copy !req
119. What I lost 10 years ago.
Copy !req
120. Ten years ago, huh?
Copy !req
121. This is the first time I've ever seen Falspawn.
Copy !req
122. Huh? Weren't you from Ship 74 though?
Copy !req
123. Where were you when it happened?
Copy !req
124. Ash.
Copy !req
125. Huh?
Copy !req
126. It's my name. I haven't told you, right?
Copy !req
127. Yeah, I guess you haven't.
Copy !req
128. Hope we get along, Partner.
Copy !req
129. For now, we should try to get
back to the teleport point.
Copy !req
130. Good idea.
Copy !req
131. Hurry up! It's Code F!
Copy !req
132. You don't think I know that?
Copy !req
133. Zeno, the recruit unit is in
combat with Falspawn.
Copy !req
134. Head to their rescue at once.
Copy !req
135. Didn't Oribe Unit descend? Where are they?
Copy !req
136. Killed in battle.
Copy !req
137. There's only two recruits left who survived.
Copy !req
138. Hurry and send the coordinates!
Copy !req
139. There's something nasty nearby.
Copy !req
140. I feel a tingle in my skin.
Copy !req
141. Let's go, Seana!
Copy !req
142. Of course, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
143. Shit! Shit!
Copy !req
144. Afin!
Copy !req
145. Talk about making it just in time.
Copy !req
146. Zeno!
Copy !req
147. Zeno?
Copy !req
148. You don't know the guy?
He's like an ARKS celebrity!
Copy !req
149. Zeno!
Copy !req
150. Sheesh!
Copy !req
151. Doesn't look like you're hurt.
Copy !req
152. Yeah. M-My name's Afin.
Copy !req
153. This is my partner, Ash.
Copy !req
154. Huh? Do I know you?
Copy !req
155. I feel like I've seen you somewhere...
Copy !req
156. Hmm? From where though?
Copy !req
157. Well, whatever!
Copy !req
158. C'mon, Zeno! Don't leave me behind!
Copy !req
159. Try thinking about your comrades for once!
Copy !req
160. Whoops, my bad.
Copy !req
161. Let me introduce you. She's Echo.
Copy !req
162. Huh? What kinda crappy introduction was that?
Copy !req
163. We were surrounded in an instant,
and everyone but us was...
Copy !req
164. I see.
Copy !req
165. Sounds like a disaster.
Copy !req
166. Though, compared to joining ARKS
believing in some naive dream,
Copy !req
167. it's better you saw the
harsh truth right off the bat.
Copy !req
168. Can it, Zeno! You could have
phrased that differently!
Copy !req
169. No matter how we put it, this is
the truth of fighting Falspawn.
Copy !req
170. As long as you're in ARKS,
you'll someday see your comrades die.
Copy !req
171. The quicker you learn that,
the longer you'll live.
Copy !req
172. Catch.
Copy !req
173. There's no point in brooding over everything.
Keep your chin up.
Copy !req
174. Never forget that frustration and never give up.
Copy !req
175. As long as you can do those
two things, it'll all end well.
Copy !req
176. You don't have to listen to him, okay?
Copy !req
177. I bet he stole that line anyways.
Copy !req
178. Hey, don't ruin it! It's fine 'cuz my
master's words are like mine anyways.
Copy !req
179. You're so full of yourself.
Copy !req
180. What's up, Partner?
Copy !req
181. Nothing...
Copy !req
182. Sorry, I'll be right back!
Copy !req
183. Hey, where are you going?
Copy !req
184. Wait up, Partner!
Copy !req
185. Good grief.
Copy !req
186. Hey, Partner!
Copy !req
187. Ash...
Copy !req
188. Please... Kill me...
Copy !req
189. Partner? Who's that girl? You know her?
Copy !req
190. No.
Copy !req
191. I've never met her before.
Copy !req
192. I wonder where she's from?
Copy !req
193. So this is where you two went.
Copy !req
194. Hmm? That a survivor?
Copy !req
195. No, um... It's more like she fell from the sky.
Copy !req
196. From the sky?
Copy !req
197. What's your deal, slashing at
us out of nowhere?
Copy !req
198. Who the hell are you?
Copy !req
199. Zeno!
Copy !req
200. I am...
Copy !req
201. the one who will kill that girl.
Copy !req
202. And also, the one who will kill you.
Copy !req
203. Get back!
Copy !req
204. And to think I came to check out
the mission on a whim.
Copy !req
205. Look at all the fun I was missing.
Copy !req
206. Gettemhult...
Copy !req
207. Hey, Seana! Who the hell is that?
Copy !req
208. Gettemhult, I'm afraid there's no record
of that person in the ARKS database.
Copy !req
209. Really? In other words, it shouldn't
matter if I pulverize them, right?
Copy !req
210. Tsk! They ran away...
Copy !req
211. I suppose I should be thanking you, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
212. Bleh!
Copy !req
213. You...
Copy !req
214. You're so weak and helpless,
yet you think you can protect others.
Copy !req
215. It makes me so mad, I could vomit.
Copy !req
216. They're recruits that enlisted today.
Give 'em a break.
Copy !req
217. Oh, Zeno! You're here?
Copy !req
218. I almost got you confused for a new recruit.
Copy !req
219. Pretending to be their elder and
looking after them, are we?
Copy !req
220. What a big boy you've become, Zeno.
Copy !req
221. Have fun getting along with
all of your weak little friends.
Copy !req
222. Seana, let's go!
Copy !req
223. Of course, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
224. You must excuse me.
Copy !req
225. He's such a pain in the ass.
Copy !req
226. Sir, was that person a colleague of yours?
Copy !req
227. Hmm?
Copy !req
228. Well, you could say that.
Copy !req
229. It's fine if you call me Zeno.
There's no need to be formal.
Copy !req
230. Anyways, let's get back to the ARKS Ship.
Copy !req
231. We oughta take her to a doctor.
Copy !req
232. There's nothing in particular wrong with her.
Copy !req
233. If something happens, call for me.
Copy !req
234. Thank you.
Copy !req
235. Well, guess we'll get going too.
Copy !req
236. You two can handle it from here.
Copy !req
237. —Yeah.
—Yeah.
Copy !req
238. In the end, I wonder who she is though?
Copy !req
239. She didn't have ID and it doesn't
look like she's in ARKS.
Copy !req
240. Yeah.
Copy !req
241. Although, she did know my name.
Copy !req
242. Why?
Copy !req
243. Anyways, I'm leaving too.
Copy !req
244. It was a wild day today.
Copy !req
245. It sure was.
Copy !req
246. See you later, Partner.
Copy !req
247. Yeah.
Copy !req
248. I've been waiting for you.
Copy !req
249. No...
Copy !req
250. The meaning of that expression may be skewed.
Copy !req
251. Perhaps it should be,
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Copy !req
252. My name is Xion.
Copy !req
253. First of all, I must thank you.
Copy !req
254. As contingency predominance has been confirmed,
Copy !req
255. your fate, along with Matoi's,
has progressed along a new course.
Copy !req
256. I must apologize.
Copy !req
257. Using such vague words,
this must be difficult to understand.
Copy !req
258. Hold on—
Copy !req
259. However, it's not necessary
to comprehend just yet.
Copy !req
260. I'm certain you'll have the
chance to save many lives.
Copy !req
261. For now, it's enough that you grasp that.
Copy !req
262. Xion...
Copy !req
263. She's gone?
Copy !req
264. That was...
Copy !req
265. How splendid.
Copy !req
266. To think you prepared something like this...
Copy !req
267. I can't wait to see what sort of useless
struggle you're planning, Xion.
Copy !req
268. The path to tomorrow
Copy !req
269. Where does it come from,
and where does it return to?
Copy !req
270. If we freeze with indecision,
our destiny is frozen with us
Copy !req
271. My still-lacking heart refuses to look
Copy !req
272. But I reach out my hand, and through
this act the future is reborn
Copy !req
273. In my long-past memories
Copy !req
274. I touched your faint warmth
Copy !req
275. I can't reach you, I can't grasp you,
but even so I want to protect you
Copy !req
276. The only memory stirring keenly in my heart
Copy !req
277. Is a fragile and dazzling image of your face
Copy !req
