1. Partner!
Copy !req
2. Afin?
Copy !req
3. Isn't it sweet that both of us got into ARKS?
Copy !req
4. Yeah.
Copy !req
5. Where are you headed?
Copy !req
6. The medical center.
Copy !req
7. To visit that girl, right? Mind if I come along?
Copy !req
8. It's up to you.
Copy !req
9. "Episode 2: The Unsettling Planet Naverius"
Copy !req
10. Come in.
Copy !req
11. Yo!
Copy !req
12. Are you feeling any better, Matoi?
Copy !req
13. Yeah, I'm all right.
Copy !req
14. So your name's Matoi then?
I'm Afin. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
15. You too.
Copy !req
16. Are you in good shape?
Copy !req
17. Yeah, I'm fine now.
Copy !req
18. Matoi, can you remember anything?
Like what you were doing there?
Copy !req
19. Hold your horses, Partner.
Copy !req
20. Don't pressure her too much.
You'll frighten her.
Copy !req
21. Matoi, which ship are you from?
Copy !req
22. I don't know.
Copy !req
23. Then, why were you on Naverius?
Copy !req
24. I don't know.
Copy !req
25. I can't remember anything but my name.
Copy !req
26. And my name?
Copy !req
27. Ash.
Copy !req
28. Why do you know my name?
Copy !req
29. I don't know.
Copy !req
30. I wonder if we've met or something?
Copy !req
31. Partner, do you remember anything about her?
Copy !req
32. No.
Copy !req
33. Nothing at all.
Copy !req
34. Good grief. If neither of
you remember, I give up.
Copy !req
35. Please? I promise I won't take long!
Copy !req
36. It's the rules!
Copy !req
37. Come on, don't be such a stickler!
Copy !req
38. Pati, you're being ridiculous.
Copy !req
39. Go through the proper channels!
Copy !req
40. —Argh, gimme a break! It's not even a big deal!
Copy !req
41. —Who are they? Some nosy people?
—Argh, gimme a break! It's not even a big deal!
Copy !req
42. It's a mission. We've got to go.
Copy !req
43. Sorry to leave when we just got here.
Copy !req
44. Where's the mission taking you?
Copy !req
45. Sorry, but we can't—
Copy !req
46. To Naverius.
Copy !req
47. Naverius?
Copy !req
48. Please take me along with you!
Copy !req
49. Isn't that the planet you found me on?
Copy !req
50. I feel like I know that scenery from somewhere.
Copy !req
51. I might be able to remember something.
Copy !req
52. Don't ask the impossible.
You're not in ARKS, and well, you're...
Copy !req
53. You're too much of an unknown.
Copy !req
54. Hey! There's things you can't say!
Copy !req
55. It's true, you might realize something there.
Copy !req
56. However, with you not being in ARKS,
Copy !req
57. it'll be tough to bring you
along without good reason.
Copy !req
58. I see.
Copy !req
59. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
60. No, it's all right. Take care, okay?
Copy !req
61. What's the meaning of this?
Copy !req
62. I don't know.
Copy !req
63. I'm your commander, Kohana.
Copy !req
64. A special exception was made for this
civilian to accompany our mission.
Copy !req
65. It's a pleasure.
Copy !req
66. There's been an increase in
Falspawn activity since the other day.
Copy !req
67. It's our mission to locate and
eradicate any Falspawn in the area.
Copy !req
68. Do you have any questions?
Copy !req
69. Um, why was a civilian—
Copy !req
70. No questions then?
Copy !req
71. Everyone, board the gateway ship!
Copy !req
72. Is this how it's gonna be in ARKS?
Copy !req
73. That's...
Copy !req
74. Who authorized her to join the mission?
Copy !req
75. Control gave special permission.
Copy !req
76. I thought you were aware of this, Casra.
Copy !req
77. She seems like a scary person.
Copy !req
78. What? You don't know about Kohana?
Copy !req
79. Rumors say she's amazing enough
to be next on the Council of Six!
Copy !req
80. Cut the chatter.
Copy !req
81. They say rampaging dragons
like to eat motormouths.
Copy !req
82. R-Right.
Copy !req
83. What's a rampaging dragon?
Copy !req
84. It's a dragon that attacks ARKS on sight.
Copy !req
85. So shut up unless you want to get eaten.
Copy !req
86. Arrival on the surface confirmed.
Copy !req
87. Begin reconnaissance.
Copy !req
88. Roger that.
Copy !req
89. Hey, newbie.
Copy !req
90. We've got a lot to get done. Don't dawdle.
Copy !req
91. R-Right!
Copy !req
92. All right. Take a short break.
Copy !req
93. Whew!
Copy !req
94. All this walking is killing me.
Copy !req
95. This is where...
Copy !req
96. Matoi, do you remember anything?
Copy !req
97. This place seems so nostalgic to me.
Copy !req
98. I think I remember this scenery from somewhere.
Copy !req
99. It feels like something incredibly
heartwarming happened here.
Copy !req
100. Anything else?
Copy !req
101. I can't clearly remember.
Copy !req
102. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
103. I see.
Copy !req
104. What now?
Copy !req
105. Emergency notice. Spatial corruption
detected in your search area.
Copy !req
106. —Matoi!
—Be on guard for Falspawn.
Copy !req
107. Nice one, Partner!
Copy !req
108. Whoa! What's this one?
Copy !req
109. Kohana!
Copy !req
110. Aren't you the same people we met before?
Copy !req
111. Uh, hello.
Copy !req
112. It's been a while, Kohana.
Copy !req
113. Seana! Don't talk to those fools!
It'll make you dumb!
Copy !req
114. You haven't changed a bit, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
115. Still, I appreciate the help. Thanks.
Copy !req
116. Since when did you become a babysitter?
Copy !req
117. Forget these goons that only hold you back.
Copy !req
118. I have a duty to protect this civilian
who's accompanying our recon.
Copy !req
119. Civilian, you say?
Copy !req
120. Now this is ridiculous!
Copy !req
121. Are you trying to guard her?
Copy !req
122. Think you're strong enough to protect someone?
Copy !req
123. If you've got something to say,
say it to me, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
124. You're not even close to
having the will that it takes.
Copy !req
125. The will to crush your opponents, that is.
Copy !req
126. And you think you can
protect someone without it?
Copy !req
127. Don't make me laugh!
Copy !req
128. Tsk!
Copy !req
129. I think that just now was him giving advice.
Copy !req
130. It's rare for Gettemhult to concern
himself with others like this.
Copy !req
131. I'm a bit envious.
Copy !req
132. Seana! Let's go!
Copy !req
133. Of course, Gettemhult.
Copy !req
134. Gettemhult...
Copy !req
135. He's quite strong, but so rude.
Copy !req
136. Do you have some sort of connection to him?
Copy !req
137. No. The other day was
the first time I've met him.
Copy !req
138. I see.
Copy !req
139. Like Melfonseana was saying,
it's unusual for him to give advice.
Copy !req
140. I think he picks up a scent
close to his own from you.
Copy !req
141. Be careful. If you continue to defeat Falspawn,
Copy !req
142. your heart might end up
consumed by hatred like his.
Copy !req
143. What is it that makes him so angry all the time?
Copy !req
144. He's upset at himself for what
happened ten years ago.
Copy !req
145. No, I'll stop there.
Copy !req
146. Even if I tell you, it won't accomplish much.
Copy !req
147. Kohana, were you hurt at all?
Copy !req
148. Hmm? No, I didn't take
a direct hit. Don't worry.
Copy !req
149. Protecting newbies is my duty as a veteran ARKS.
Copy !req
150. Now then, let's continue our recon.
Copy !req
151. Right!
Copy !req
152. Kohana here.
Copy !req
153. Multiple Falspawn spotted.
Copy !req
154. Roger. Requesting backup from nearby ARKS.
Copy !req
155. We may not be able to wait.
Copy !req
156. There's nine of them. I'll draw the swarm away.
Copy !req
157. Ash will take down the stragglers.
Copy !req
158. Afin, take Matoi somewhere safe.
Copy !req
159. Roger.
Copy !req
160. This way.
Copy !req
161. Kohana?
Copy !req
162. Kohana... Are you all right?
Copy !req
163. Y-Yeah. Sorry.
Copy !req
164. Kohana here. We've eliminated the Falspawn.
Copy !req
165. Oho? I didn't know you were ARKS!
Copy !req
166. Sorry about that. I kinda
thought you were Falspawn.
Copy !req
167. Hey now! That was dangerous!
Copy !req
168. Aren't guns just the best thing ever?
Copy !req
169. They don't leave a weird sensation...
Copy !req
170. and they can make Falspawn croak
without even touching them!
Copy !req
171. Doesn't that give you the chills?
Copy !req
172. Oh my. Now I've got the urge all over again.
Copy !req
173. Well then, good day!
Copy !req
174. Good day.
Copy !req
175. I get the feeling she might be a little unstable.
Copy !req
176. Nice shot! That's Kohana for you!
Copy !req
177. Kohana?
Copy !req
178. Kohana!
Copy !req
179. Kohana!
Copy !req
180. Afin, Matoi! Let's chase after her!
Copy !req
181. —Right!
—Yeah!
Copy !req
182. Her footprints dropped off.
Copy !req
183. And there's not a person in sight.
Copy !req
184. Hi!
Copy !req
185. Hi there, you ARKS in a great big hurry!
Copy !req
186. Are you in need of a hand?
Copy !req
187. Pati, they're dumbfounded because
you yelled at them out of nowhere.
Copy !req
188. Sorry about my dense sister.
Copy !req
189. Oh. I'm her younger sister, Tia.
Copy !req
190. Aren't you two the nosy people
from the medical center?
Copy !req
191. I'm not a nosy person! I'm an informant!
Copy !req
192. You're the only one calling
yourself an informant.
Copy !req
193. You must be the Matoi without any personal data!
Copy !req
194. Cut it out. We don't have time for this.
Copy !req
195. I know. You're looking for Kohana, right?
Copy !req
196. Sorry, but since you all seemed in such a panic,
Copy !req
197. I figured no one's explained to you
why Kohana's acting strange.
Copy !req
198. Huh? You mean...
Copy !req
199. Yup! And since you seem to be rookies,
Copy !req
200. who better to teach you than me,
your elder in ARKS!
Copy !req
201. Basically, the reason
Kohana is acting strange...
Copy !req
202. is because of F-Factor purification!
Copy !req
203. F-Factor purification?
Copy !req
204. You know how F-Factor gushes out
when defeating Falspawn, right?
Copy !req
205. I struggled with class, so...
Copy !req
206. ARKS are able to absorb the
scattered F-Factor and then purify it.
Copy !req
207. It's one of the basic abilities
that ARKS possess.
Copy !req
208. But when you absorb more F-Factor
than your abilities can handle...
Copy !req
209. You become like Kohana?
Copy !req
210. That's right.
Copy !req
211. And you might even become Falspawn!
Copy !req
212. Huh?
Copy !req
213. Pati, enough of the lies.
Copy !req
214. There's never been an ARKS
who turned into Falspawn.
Copy !req
215. Don't scare me saying stuff like that.
Copy !req
216. At this point, she may still recover if you
hurry her to the medical center.
Copy !req
217. In other words, we need
to locate Kohana quickly.
Copy !req
218. That sums it up!
Copy !req
219. We'll help you look for her too.
Copy !req
220. We'll continue searching this area,
so you guys check out that way.
Copy !req
221. All right.
Copy !req
222. Oh! If we find Kohana and she's okay,
you better let me interview Matoi afterwards!
Copy !req
223. Hold up.
Copy !req
224. What is it?
Copy !req
225. I'm not sure.
Copy !req
226. Partner?
Copy !req
227. Matoi, you stay here.
Copy !req
228. Afin.
Copy !req
229. Yeah...
Copy !req
230. It can't be...
Copy !req
231. It had to be a rampaging dragon!
It's killing and eating ARKS!
Copy !req
232. Otherwise, Kohana would
never be done in like this!
Copy !req
233. You ARKS there! Leave the area at once!
Copy !req
234. The body may be contaminated!
Copy !req
235. Step away immediately!
Copy !req
236. Was Kohana killed by a rampaging dragon?
Copy !req
237. No, the wound was made by a blade.
Copy !req
238. In just one attack.
Copy !req
239. Hold on. You're saying a person did it?
Copy !req
240. But she was good enough
to be on the Council of Six!
Copy !req
241. Even so...
Copy !req
242. I've had enough. I can't do this...
Copy !req
243. Control, this is Afin.
Copy !req
244. Requesting permission to return.
Copy !req
245. Our commander died and
we can't finish the mission.
Copy !req
246. Afin. Ash. Permission to return denied.
Copy !req
247. What?
Copy !req
248. Huh? What do you mean?
Copy !req
249. The reason isn't made known to us.
Copy !req
250. Your orders are to continue the mission.
Copy !req
251. But Kohana is dead, you know!
Copy !req
252. I repeat: Permission to return denied.
Copy !req
253. Please continue and carry out the mission.
Copy !req
254. What's this mean?
Copy !req
255. It's nothing. Just my imagination.
Copy !req
256. How's Matoi?
Copy !req
257. Tired, I guess.
Copy !req
258. She fell asleep already.
Copy !req
259. I'm dead tired myself.
Copy !req
260. Hey, don't you think this is all a bit weird?
Copy !req
261. It's strange enough we were
made to escort Matoi.
Copy !req
262. And now we're continuing the
mission after Kohana's dead?
Copy !req
263. There had to be someone else there who
told control about Kohana's death.
Copy !req
264. When we discovered her body, it couldn't have
been very long since the time of her death.
Copy !req
265. For a recovery ship to come that fast,
they had to have known in advance.
Copy !req
266. I've always thought ARKS strange from the start.
Copy !req
267. Eradicate the Falspawn in order
to bring peace to the universe...
Copy !req
268. And what of it?
Copy !req
269. I aspired to join ARKS, yet everyone
I've met is stranger than the last.
Copy !req
270. ARKS may have another side besides
the one they show the public.
Copy !req
271. Another side? That's gotta be crazy talk.
Copy !req
272. Such pretty stars.
Copy !req
273. I told you before, right?
Copy !req
274. The reason I joined ARKS was
because I'm looking for something.
Copy !req
275. Yeah.
Copy !req
276. By that, I meant family.
Copy !req
277. I see.
Copy !req
278. Hey, what a lame reaction!
Got anything better than that?
Copy !req
279. To be honest, this is all
to search for my big sister.
Copy !req
280. Figured if I traveled all over,
I might eventually be able to find her.
Copy !req
281. Is your sister missing or something?
Copy !req
282. She went missing ten years ago
during the Falspawn attack.
Copy !req
283. I've been looking for her ever since.
Copy !req
284. Ten years ago...
Copy !req
285. Something happened to Gettemhult ten years ago.
Copy !req
286. My big sister went missing ten years ago too.
Copy !req
287. Do you think it's a coincidence?
Copy !req
288. I...
Copy !req
289. I have...
Copy !req
290. I have no memory of ten years ago.
Copy !req
291. Huh?
Copy !req
292. The path to tomorrow
Copy !req
293. Where does it come from,
and where does it return to?
Copy !req
294. If we freeze with indecision,
our destiny is frozen with us
Copy !req
295. My still-lacking heart refuses to look
Copy !req
296. But I reach out my hand, and through
this act the future is reborn
Copy !req
297. In my long-past memories
Copy !req
298. I touched your faint warmth
Copy !req
299. I can't reach you, I can't grasp you,
but even so I want to protect you
Copy !req
300. The only memory stirring keenly in my heart
Copy !req
301. Is a fragile and dazzling image of your face
Copy !req
