1. The revival of Dark Falz Elder
after his defeat 40 years ago...Copy !req
2. was not something we had foreseen.Copy !req
3. His awakening was disastrous,Copy !req
4. for he unleashed 40 years of amassed
hatred directed at us ARKS.Copy !req
5. We were far too complacent.Copy !req
6. Forty years of peace had made us careless.Copy !req
7. That carelessness is how our defensive
line was so easily penetrated...Copy !req
8. allowing the enemy to invade our ships.Copy !req
9. Responsibility for this falls
solely upon the Council of Six.Copy !req
10. Representing the Council of Six,
I, Regius, sincerely apologize.Copy !req
11. However, thanks to everyone's
heroic and brave actions,Copy !req
12. this time we have annihilated
Elder once and for all.Copy !req
13. The sacrifice was indeed costly.Copy !req
14. And those sacrifices make it a bitter victory.Copy !req
15. But now is not the time to cling to
their deaths and cry out in grief.Copy !req
16. And then, unto the pillar of misfortune,Copy !req
17. the vessel shall be offered
and become as it should.Copy !req
18. What is it exactly that Xion is hoping for?Copy !req
19. We must move on and take the next step forward.Copy !req
20. That is the duty of us, the survivors.Copy !req
21. Wipe your tears and keep looking ahead!Copy !req
22. The future victories of ARKS depend on it!Copy !req
23. "Quest 8: I'm No Longer There"Copy !req
24. Theodore!Copy !req
25. I've been looking for you!
You weren't at the funeral!Copy !req
26. Where is Ulku?Copy !req
27. What do you mean?Copy !req
28. Ulku was right here. And now, she's not.Copy !req
29. Where did she go?Copy !req
30. I'll keep looking.Copy !req
31. H-Hey...Copy !req
32. Theodore, wait!Copy !req
33. Please let me go. I have to search for Ulku.Copy !req
34. Keep it together! Don't you
remember what Regius told us?Copy !req
35. Taking the next step forward and
looking ahead is our duty as survivors.Copy !req
36. That's exactly why I have to search for Ulku.Copy !req
37. Theodore...Copy !req
38. Are you awake?Copy !req
39. Where am I?Copy !req
40. The hospital.Copy !req
41. Don't! You need to rest!Copy !req
42. What about Gettemhult?Copy !req
43. Where is... Gettemhult?Copy !req
44. Do you not remember what he did to you?Copy !req
45. What he... did to me?Copy !req
46. The doctor said it was a miracle that you lived.Copy !req
47. But what about Gettemhult?Copy !req
48. It can't be...Copy !req
49. Pardon me.Copy !req
50. Casra? You're all right?Copy !req
51. Yes, as you can see.Copy !req
52. And Zeno? Wasn't Zeno with you?Copy !req
53. The reason I summoned the two of
you here was to explain just that.Copy !req
54. As our battle against Dark Falz prolonged,Copy !req
55. he eventually got the best of us.Copy !req
56. That's when Zeno came up with a plan.Copy !req
57. He split up with me and
lured Dark Falz into the wild.Copy !req
58. I do not know what happened to him after that.Copy !req
59. That's so like Zeno.Copy !req
60. I bet he figured Gettemhult
would chase after him for sure.Copy !req
61. I'm terribly sorry.Copy !req
62. Even though I was there,
the situation got out of hand.Copy !req
63. It's fine. Knowing Zeno,
he'll pop up sooner or later.Copy !req
64. No worries.Copy !req
65. I suppose so. I want to believe that too.Copy !req
66. Is that all you wanted to say?Copy !req
67. I need to get back to my duties,
so I'll be on my way.Copy !req
68. Echo...Copy !req
69. Echo!Copy !req
70. Is this about Zeno? It's all right.Copy !req
71. Well...Copy !req
72. I'm pretty used to waiting around for him.Copy !req
73. Anyhow, I've gotta step it up
to make up for his absence.Copy !req
74. Right. Um, Echo?Copy !req
75. Why would Gettemhult chase after Zeno?Copy !req
76. Those two actually got along well in the past.Copy !req
77. Zeno aspired to be like him?Copy !req
78. Yeah.Copy !req
79. But after the incident ten years ago...Copy !req
80. The incident?Copy !req
81. Stop, stop. I'll feel gloomy.Copy !req
82. Don't be making your seniors dig up the past.Copy !req
83. C'mon. Don't you have work to do?Copy !req
84. Zeno...Copy !req
85. You did it, Ash!Copy !req
86. Um, you're... Sarah, right?Copy !req
87. Huh? Uh, oh yeah...Copy !req
88. Never mind. Forget about it.Copy !req
89. Melfonseana, wait!Copy !req
90. That's...Copy !req
91. Matoi!Copy !req
92. Ash! It's Melfonseana!Copy !req
93. Huh? W-Wait!Copy !req
94. This is Bay 3-7! Someone's stealing
a gateway ship! Huh?Copy !req
95. Scratch that! Two gateway
ships have been stolen!Copy !req
96. Melfonseana! Do you copy?Copy !req
97. It's me, Ash!Copy !req
98. Turn around now! Melfons—Copy !req
99. Gettemhult...Copy !req
100. Gettemhult...Copy !req
101. Gettemhult! Gettemhult!Copy !req
102. Gettemhult...Copy !req
103. Ash?Copy !req
104. Where is Gettemhult?Copy !req
105. Gettemhult...Copy !req
106. is gone.Copy !req
107. His body was taken over by Dark Falz...Copy !req
108. and he vanished.Copy !req
109. Stop it!Copy !req
110. No, let go!Copy !req
111. If Gettemhult is really gone,
there's no point in me living anymore!Copy !req
112. Calmed down?Copy !req
113. Gettemhult is...Copy !req
114. The Gettemhult in the past was...Copy !req
115. as ferocious as he could be,
but he was never that violent of a person.Copy !req
116. He was kind enough to keep me
company when I was young.Copy !req
117. He wasn't hated by the people around him.Copy !req
118. On the contrary, Zeno and him...Copy !req
119. Yo, Gettemhult!Copy !req
120. Hmm?Copy !req
121. I heard someone had a rough time
taking down a few enemies.Copy !req
122. It's Mr. Gettemhult to you!Copy !req
123. And you're awful cocky for being just a trainee.Copy !req
124. As you wish, Mr. Gettemhult.Copy !req
125. Hah! Careful or you might
find yourself shot in the back.Copy !req
126. H-Hah! As if you could actually hit a target!Copy !req
127. Hah! You think you're so great!Copy !req
128. You're not even ready for Amduskia!Copy !req
129. If I went to Amduskia or Naverius,
there'd be no enemies left for you to—Copy !req
130. —Ow!
—Ow!Copy !req
131. Cut it out, you two!Copy !req
132. —That hurt, you know!
—That hurt, you know!Copy !req
133. But, I'm the one who destroyed all that.Copy !req
134. Ten years ago, in the Falspawn attack,Copy !req
135. that's when Dark Falz Apprentice appeared.Copy !req
136. Back then, if only I had stayed out of it...Copy !req
137. I... hated the idea of always
needing someone's protection.Copy !req
138. I wanted to prove I could fight.Copy !req
139. I couldn't bear cowering behind
Gettemhult and my big sister forever.Copy !req
140. And the result... was exactly what you'd expect.Copy !req
141. Hey, Seana! Where's your little sister at?Copy !req
142. I don't know either!Copy !req
143. Did you get split up from the group too?Copy !req
144. Are you hurt? You okay?Copy !req
145. Yeah, but soon the Falspawn will
find us and then we'll both be dead.Copy !req
146. N-No way! Someone from ARKS
will come save us for sure!Copy !req
147. Shh!Copy !req
148. I don't really remember
what happened after that.Copy !req
149. My guess is that girl probably helped me escape.Copy !req
150. Before I knew it, I was running
through the city in ruins.Copy !req
151. That was the very first Technique I'd ever used.Copy !req
152. It meant I wouldn't need anyone's protection.Copy !req
153. I could protect others now.Copy !req
154. That pride I felt is what destroyed everything.Copy !req
155. Hey, Seana! Where did you go?Copy !req
156. You can stop hiding now! Seana!Copy !req
157. Gettemhult...Copy !req
158. Seana! Answer me already! Seana!Copy !req
159. Gettemhult, please stop this!Copy !req
160. Seana! Hey, Seana!Copy !req
161. Come out! Where are you?Copy !req
162. They disappeared! The battle is over now!Copy !req
163. Seana!Copy !req
164. I'm begging you! Please stop this!Copy !req
165. My sister is... My sister is...Copy !req
166. She's dead.Copy !req
167. Gettemhult!Copy !req
168. Oh... So you were here the whole time?Copy !req
169. Huh?Copy !req
170. Melfonseana.Copy !req
171. Yes, Gettemhult...Copy !req
172. I'm sorry.Copy !req
173. In times like this, I never know what to say.Copy !req
174. It's pathetic, but all I
think of are empty words.Copy !req
175. Like stay strong... and it
must have been tough for you.Copy !req
176. It's fine. This is a burden I brought on myself.Copy !req
177. What's that sound?Copy !req
178. It's him!Copy !req
179. I was drawn here after
sensing a powerful presence.Copy !req
180. And to think it was you?Copy !req
181. What a coincidence to meet you a third time.Copy !req
182. It can't be! You were destroyed!Copy !req
183. Destroyed? ARKS truly believes
they extinguished me?Copy !req
184. Dark Falz cannot be broken,
conquered, nor slain!Copy !req
185. Gettemhult!Copy !req
186. No! That's Dark Falz El—Copy !req
187. Gettemhult!Copy !req
188. Seana!Copy !req
189. Gettemhult!Copy !req
190. Seana!Copy !req
191. Let Melfonseana go!Copy !req
192. Can you entertain me more so than
the man called Zeno? Well, runt?Copy !req
193. Tsk!Copy !req
194. What happened to Gettemhult?Copy !req
195. He is no more.Copy !req
196. I have consumed him whole!Copy !req
197. Is that... not Gettemhult anymore?Copy !req
198. Show me! Show me your true power!Copy !req
199. The same power from before!Copy !req
200. What... are you talking about?Copy !req
201. Yes, this is it! This is what I sensed!Copy !req
202. I knew that power had to have come from you!Copy !req
203. Still, you're far too puny!Copy !req
204. Ash!Copy !req
205. Become even stronger!Copy !req
206. Become someone powerful
enough to entertain me!Copy !req
207. Melfonseana.Copy !req
208. You okay?Copy !req
209. Curse you.Copy !req
210. Why did you stop me?Copy !req
211. I don't even deserve to be alive!Copy !req
212. It's my fault that Gettemhult is...!Copy !req
213. He's not dead.Copy !req
214. You have to keep living for Gettemhult.Copy !req
215. But...!Copy !req
216. If you're gone, who else can save Gettemhult?Copy !req
217. But that's not Gettemhult anymore!Copy !req
218. There must be a way we can
return him to normal. Somehow...Copy !req
219. You're a peculiar person.Copy !req
220. Melrandia.Copy !req
221. Please remember it if you can.Copy !req
222. Melrandia.Copy !req
223. That is... my real name.Copy !req
224. The path to tomorrowCopy !req
225. Where does it come from,
and where does it return to?Copy !req
226. If we freeze with indecision,
our destiny is frozen with usCopy !req
227. My still-lacking heart refuses to lookCopy !req
228. But I reach out my hand, and through
this act the future is rebornCopy !req
229. In my long-past memoriesCopy !req
230. I touched your faint warmthCopy !req
231. I can't reach you, I can't grasp you,
but even so I want to protect youCopy !req
232. The only memory stirring keenly in my heartCopy !req
233. Is a fragile and dazzling image of your faceCopy !req
