1. It's been a while, Xiao.
Copy !req
2. Don't you know who I am?
Copy !req
3. I am Dark Falz ...
Copy !req
4. and...
Copy !req
5. "Quest 22: What the Photoners Created"
Copy !req
6. "Quest 22: What the Photoners Created"
What are you trying to pull by imitating me?
Copy !req
7. He's not, Ash. He's the same person as you.
Copy !req
8. It can't be... Are you a clone?
Copy !req
9. Not exactly. Rather, I am you from the future.
Copy !req
10. That's...!
Copy !req
11. You possess the exact same thing too.
Copy !req
12. What did you come for?
Copy !req
13. To give a final warning.
Copy !req
14. You must kill Matoi before it's too late.
Copy !req
15. How many times do I have to say it?
I'm not killing Matoi!
Copy !req
16. That day ten years ago, I had tried
to kill Matoi in order to save her.
Copy !req
17. However, I was unable to do so.
Copy !req
18. You saw it yourself.
Copy !req
19. What happens to Matoi, that is.
Copy !req
20. The ...
Copy !req
21. I was too slow. Darkness has
tainted me too much.
Copy !req
22. But you still have the power
to purify even Dark Falz.
Copy !req
23. Now, while that power remains...
Copy !req
24. My power...
Copy !req
25. Never forget. The only one
who can save Matoi... is you.
Copy !req
26. I become... Dark Falz...
Copy !req
27. For now, let's just focus on what we can do.
Copy !req
28. Let's consider what we know.
Copy !req
29. Eventually, you turn into.
Copy !req
30. In the near future, you become Dark Falz...
Copy !req
31. Did you know who he was this whole time?
Copy !req
32. Ten years ago when showed up
as you, I considered the possibility.
Copy !req
33. But why would I...?
Copy !req
34. You've fought with more Dark Falz
than any ARKS ever before.
Copy !req
35. If you keep on fighting, it'll push
your F-Factor over the limit.
Copy !req
36. And not just yours.
In order for Matoi to purify Euclyta,
Copy !req
37. she absorbed a dangerous amount of F-Factor.
Copy !req
38. Can't we do something?
Copy !req
39. As far as Matoi goes, just like said,
killing Matoi is the best option for now.
Copy !req
40. Back to that again?
Copy !req
41. However, I have an idea
that might just avoid that.
Copy !req
42. It involves completely erasing
both of your photon abilities.
Copy !req
43. Huh?
Copy !req
44. Falspawn attack people with photons by instinct.
Copy !req
45. As long as you wield such powerful photons,
you'll inevitably get dragged into battle.
Copy !req
46. Erase our photon ability?
Copy !req
47. Of course, it means you can't
take part in ARKS anymore.
Copy !req
48. You'll be mere civilians.
Copy !req
49. If we do that, will it really save Matoi?
Copy !req
50. Xiao!
Copy !req
51. This is a lot bigger than the
problems of two people.
Copy !req
52. Give it some thought, Ash.
Copy !req
53. It involves completely erasing
both of your photon abilities.
Copy !req
54. Is that really all it'll take?
Copy !req
55. Did he not take the chance and try it?
Copy !req
56. You're...
Copy !req
57. She becomes the?
Copy !req
58. Yeah.
Copy !req
59. Please, tell me. What can I do to save Matoi?
Copy !req
60. I don't know.
Copy !req
61. Wasn't your comrade?
Copy !req
62. Just tell me! You gotta know something!
Copy !req
63. I told you, I don't know!
Copy !req
64. Besides, him and I weren't comrades.
Copy !req
65. I'm sorry.
Copy !req
66. Eucie! We came to see you!
Copy !req
67. Huh? You're here, Partner?
Copy !req
68. Yeah.
Copy !req
69. You should've told me you were stopping by!
Copy !req
70. Sorry. Um, I wanted to ask her
about the masked Dark Falz.
Copy !req
71. Oh, yeah. There's another one
out there, isn't there? I forgot.
Copy !req
72. Euclyta, are you feeling better now?
Copy !req
73. Yeah. And are you all right?
Copy !req
74. Yup! I'm perfectly fine!
Copy !req
75. I see.
Copy !req
76. I can hardly believe she's still standing
after absorbing all your F-Factor.
Copy !req
77. I told you, it was just a fluke!
Copy !req
78. Even if it was, it's all thanks to you.
Copy !req
79. I'm just glad everyone's okay! Right, Partner?
Copy !req
80. Huh? Partner?
Copy !req
81. Ash!
Copy !req
82. Hey, Ash!
Copy !req
83. Matoi...
Copy !req
84. You're acting strange. Are you all right?
Copy !req
85. Sorry. I've got a lot on my mind.
Copy !req
86. For the last time, it's off-limits!
Copy !req
87. There's a scoop waiting for us,
so scoot aside already!
Copy !req
88. Pati, just let it go.
Copy !req
89. What's wrong?
Copy !req
90. Matoi! Perfect timing! Can you
guys talk some sense into her?
Copy !req
91. We wanna interview Afin's sister,
but this girl won't let us through!
Copy !req
92. I already said you're not allowed!
Copy !req
93. You guys are her seniors, right?
Do something about this nut.
Copy !req
94. What do you mean, "nut?"
And I'm your senior too!
Copy !req
95. Isn't the real reason you came
to see how she's doing?
Copy !req
96. I'll let Afin know you were here.
Copy !req
97. Th-That's totally off the point!
Copy !req
98. It's for a scoop, all right?
Copy !req
99. We're always chasing the latest news!
Copy !req
100. So she says.
Copy !req
101. Hmm?
Copy !req
102. What?
Copy !req
103. Matoi, did something change about you?
Copy !req
104. Huh?
Copy !req
105. I don't know! I'm sensing some
sorta brilliant aura around you!
Copy !req
106. Kinda like you leveled up as an ARKS!
Copy !req
107. Really? You know, I've felt great lately!
Copy !req
108. Maybe 'cuz I'm used to fighting?
Copy !req
109. Atta girl!
Copy !req
110. There's no need to worry about
Dark Falz as long as you're around!
Copy !req
111. You know it! I feel like
I can take on any enemy!
Copy !req
112. Matoi.
Copy !req
113. Hmm?
Copy !req
114. Come with me.
Copy !req
115. Huh?
Copy !req
116. Hold up!
Copy !req
117. Huh? What the...? What's this all about?
Copy !req
118. I'm thinking we follow and find out!
Copy !req
119. Let's go!
Copy !req
120. Right!
Copy !req
121. Good grief! No eavesdropping!
Copy !req
122. Ugh!
Copy !req
123. What's the matter?
Copy !req
124. Matoi, I have something important to say.
Copy !req
125. Okay.
Copy !req
126. I don't want you fighting Falspawn anymore.
Copy !req
127. Huh?
Copy !req
128. What do you mean?
Copy !req
129. Let's quit ARKS.
Copy !req
130. Huh?
Copy !req
131. Huh?
Copy !req
132. Eucie?
Copy !req
133. Why would you say that?
Copy !req
134. I finally got into ARKS and
can help everyone out now!
Copy !req
135. That's...
Copy !req
136. Is it hard to say?
Copy !req
137. If there's a reason, please tell me the truth.
Copy !req
138. All right.
Copy !req
139. Actually...
Copy !req
140. What the...?
Copy !req
141. Hmm?
Copy !req
142. That's...
Copy !req
143. This was taken moments ago.
It's Dark Falz.
Copy !req
144. As I thought, it lives.
Copy !req
145. Call for defensive standby.
Copy !req
146. Large Falspawn response detected on Ship 408!
Copy !req
147. What?
Copy !req
148. That's the ship is on.
Copy !req
149. It's no use. Communication's cut off.
Copy !req
150. I'll go in person.
Copy !req
151. Please do.
Copy !req
152. Ash...
Copy !req
153. Hurry up!
Copy !req
154. Quick! Over here!
Copy !req
155. Fire!
Copy !req
156. Let's go, Tia!
Copy !req
157. Okay, Pati!
Copy !req
158. Whew!
Copy !req
159. I've gotta go back!
Copy !req
160. People are still up there!
Copy !req
161. What?
Copy !req
162. Fire!
Copy !req
163. Close it off while we can!
Copy !req
164. Yes sir!
Copy !req
165. Wait!
Copy !req
166. Not everyone made it out yet!
Copy !req
167. There's too many enemies! Wait for backup!
Copy !req
168. You can't be—
Copy !req
169. Io!
Copy !req
170. What happened?
Copy !req
171. Mister!
Copy !req
172. Some weird Falspawn showed up!
Copy !req
173. Falspawn? Did you see Afin?
Copy !req
174. Well, the explosion and Falspawn
both came from Euclyta's room.
Copy !req
175. Huh?
Copy !req
176. Hold 'em back!
Copy !req
177. Mister, that way's no good!
Copy !req
178. Is there another way?
Copy !req
179. Over here!
Copy !req
180. It looks okay. Let's go, Io.
Copy !req
181. Ash!
Copy !req
182. I'll clear a path! Stay back!
Copy !req
183. E-Eucie!
Copy !req
184. Since s F-Factor wasn't enough,
we thought maybe yours would be.
Copy !req
185. But you're only leftovers in the end.
She's nowhere good enough.
Copy !req
186. Hmm?
Copy !req
187. What is it?
Copy !req
188. Hey, do you sense that presence?
Copy !req
189. Oh! Could it be...?
Copy !req
190. That girl is coming! This is gonna be fun!
Copy !req
191. I'm really gonna enjoy this!
Copy !req
192. Shit!
Copy !req
193. Afin!
Copy !req
194. Partner! No, stay away!
Copy !req
195. Huh?
Copy !req
196. Mister!
Copy !req
197. Hurray! We did it!
Copy !req
198. It can't be!
Copy !req
199. Wait!
Copy !req
200. The Falspawn are closing in!
Copy !req
201. We gotta get out of here!
Copy !req
202. Hurry!
Copy !req
203. What a huge success!
Copy !req
204. You think it's gonna begin? It will, right?
Copy !req
205. Hmm? What's wrong?
Copy !req
206. Did you not eat 'em?
Copy !req
207. No, I ate 'em all right.
Copy !req
208. But it feels different than usual.
Copy !req
209. Ash...! Ash! Ash!
Copy !req
210. Matoi!
Copy !req
211. You okay?
Copy !req
212. Where is this?
Copy !req
213. I don't know.
Copy !req
214. This is the space inside Dark Falz.
Copy !req
215. Rather, to put it in simpler terms,
Copy !req
216. I suppose you could say
we're in s stomach.
Copy !req
217. Luther the Fallen! You're alive?
Copy !req
218. Can this really be called living, I wonder?
Copy !req
219. Having said that, I don't have many complaints.
Copy !req
220. To reside within Dark Falz...
That's something which few experience.
Copy !req
221. Care to lower your weapons?
Copy !req
222. I'm no longer interested in the outside world.
Copy !req
223. What's the point of a world
without Xion and omniscience?
Copy !req
224. Thank you.
Copy !req
225. Now then, shall we have a little chat?
Copy !req
226. We have nothing to say to you.
Copy !req
227. Matoi, let's find a way out.
Copy !req
228. Come, don't say that.
Copy !req
229. I think you'll find it interesting.
Copy !req
230. What do you think?
Copy !req
231. Isn't it fascinating?
Copy !req
232. It's where the eaten end up. A space of chaos.
Copy !req
233. Ah! The more I learn about it,
the more incredible it seems!
Copy !req
234. Is that... a star?
Copy !req
235. If only this information was mine,
I could've made such marvelous clones.
Copy !req
236. You're still saying crap like that?
Copy !req
237. I still don't forgive you
for the things you've done!
Copy !req
238. It wasn't just Xion! You made everyone suffer!
Copy !req
239. I made everyone suffer, huh?
Copy !req
240. Compared to the terror that's soon to come,
the things I did are like a drop in the bucket.
Copy !req
241. What do you mean?
Copy !req
242. I'm sure you've realized it's happening.
Copy !req
243. The will revive.
Copy !req
244. That which controls Dark Falz and Falspawn...
Copy !req
245. When revived, will consume and
destroy the whole universe...
Copy !req
246. That is the.
Copy !req
247. A calamity the Photoners created.
Copy !req
248. The Photoners?
Copy !req
249. The Photoners met Xion and basked in prosperity.
Copy !req
250. They grew so conceited,
they created an equal to Xion...
Copy !req
251. in hopes of controlling everything.
Copy !req
252. The result was a failure.
Copy !req
253. In order to manifest such control,
Copy !req
254. their imitation of Xion
made an extreme decision.
Copy !req
255. An extreme decision?
Copy !req
256. Oblivion. It decided to reduce
the cosmos to nothing.
Copy !req
257. Thus, the was born.
Copy !req
258. The Photoners, brought to
the brink of extinction,
Copy !req
259. sacrificed their photon abilities...
Copy !req
260. and managed to seal the.
Copy !req
261. Their photon abilities?
Copy !req
262. Luther the Fallen! How did the
Photoners manage to seal it?
Copy !req
263. Beats me.
Copy !req
264. While they did succeed in sealing it,
Copy !req
265. the left Dark Falz
like splinters in our world.
Copy !req
266. Without their photons, the Photoners
were like helpless children.
Copy !req
267. So they created something to help.
Copy !req
268. A biological weapon that
can wield photons—ARKS.
Copy !req
269. We're... biological weapons?
Copy !req
270. And so, ARKS and Dark Falz
have fought on without end.
Copy !req
271. Fighting a pointless battle, even now.
Copy !req
272. It's not pointless!
Copy !req
273. Oh, but it is, missy.
Copy !req
274. Just think about it.
Copy !req
275. ARKS hunt Falspawn and accumulate
F-Factor in their bodies.
Copy !req
276. Those ARKS are hunted by Dark Falz.
Copy !req
277. By this process, F-Factor is
purified tremendously.
Copy !req
278. And then you have
who eats other Dark Falz.
Copy !req
279. This is the top of the food chain.
Copy !req
280. When enough F-Factor gathers here
to overwhelm the entire universe,
Copy !req
281. the will revive.
Copy !req
282. No...!
Copy !req
283. The countdown has already begun.
Copy !req
284. The countdown which spells
destruction of our world!
Copy !req
285. Still, a single doubt remains in my mind.
Copy !req
286. With Xion being omniscient, why did
she let the situation degrade to this?
Copy !req
287. Yes... Xion knew everything there is to know.
Copy !req
288. That she'd meet Photoners...
Copy !req
289. That the would be born...
Copy !req
290. That Dark Falz and ARKS would wage war...
Copy !req
291. And...
Copy !req
292. all about you.
Copy !req
293. Reach out and you can almost grasp them
Copy !req
294. Twinkle Shiny Fancy Phantasy Stars
Copy !req
295. The shooting stars will carry
the memories of that day
Copy !req
296. Shining Stars But they will never reach us
Copy !req
297. Shining Stars They'll drift across the galaxy
Copy !req
298. Come, open your eyes,
for a new world is waiting for you
Copy !req
299. So face it head on
Copy !req
300. Whoa a dazzling morning is on the way
Copy !req
301. Whoa I wanna find out my true strength
Copy !req
302. My Dear Destiny or fate No matter the era
Copy !req
303. I'll show you I can fully enjoy it
Copy !req
304. My Dear Destiny or fate
Copy !req
305. Yearning for warmth, I think of you
Copy !req
306. But I'm gonna keep on living, blown by the wind
Copy !req
