Zegapain > 17.The Restored

Kyo: How are you today?
Kyo: You look good.
Kyo: Very peaceful.
Kyo: There's no joy without pain.
Kyo: Yeah.
Kyo: Oh yeah, this is kind of random,
Kyo: but I have to tell you about
Kyo: this hilarious thing that happened in class today!
Kyo: Get some rest.
Kyo: I'll see you later, Kaminagi.
Kyo: Hey. Thank you,
Kyo: Shizuno.
Kyo: You know, for finding her in there.
Kyo: Oh. That reminds me.
Kyo: This time,
Kyo: how about we go to the summer festival together?
Shizuno: Really?
Minato: All done.
Minato: He'll love them.
Minato: It's Minato.
Minato: May I come in, sir?
Minato: Um...
Minato: I just baked a fresh batch of cookies, and I thought
Minato: maybe you
Minato: want some...?
Sin: Abyss!
Abyss: Why do they continue to fight us?
Abyss: Devoid of the light...
Abyss: They must realize that they have no future.
Abyss: The lightless ones lack the skill to regain the light.
Abyss: They will never become like those who possess it.
Abyss: Never become like us.
Abyss: They are doomed.
Abyss: So why do they fight?
Sin: Sin is Abyss.
Sin: Abyss is Sin.
Sin: If Abyss does not understand something,
Sin: Sin doesn't understand it either.
Sin: But I know a person who does!
Sin: Of course she knows.
Ricerca: Nice job on recon.
Ricerca: Welcome home you two.
Kyo: What do you mean the president's not here?
May-Yu: Oh! You want some cookies?
Kyo: Well, then where did he go?
Minato: I don't know, honest.
Minato: It must be top secret.
Minato: He didn't even tell me what he was up to.
Kyo: That's weird, huh?
Kyo: Him going off alone somewhere?
Minato: Hmph. Well he's not alone.
Minato: Shizuno Misaki went with him.
Kyo: What's up with that?
Ricerca: You know, now that I think about it,
Ricerca: they do slip away now and then.
Fosetta: You're right.
Fosetta: And it seems to be happening more and more frequently lately.
May-Yen: Maybe it...
May-Yu: Don't even say it.
Kyo: I see.
Kyo: Well, it can wait till later.
Kyo: It's...
Kyo: just I had a question about Kaminagi, that's all.
Minato: Ah.
Minato: I bet that I can guess the nature of your question.
Minato: Why can't we just keep Kaminagi materialized within the Zega all the time?
Minato: Is that it?
Minato: It's absolutely impossible.
Minato: Accept it.
Kyo: Why not?
Lu-Shen: Her meta-body data isn't intended as a permanent download into the Zega.
Lu-Shen: If we keep her inside there too long,
Lu-Shen: the next time, we'll lose her.
Lu-Shen: There will be no saving her.
Lu-Shen: I don't like it either.
Lu-Shen: Just let it go.
May-Yu: We'll do whatever we can to help.
May-Yen: We'll think of a better solution, okay?
Shima: I'm sorry, Yehl,
Shima: making you come with me.
Shizuno: Please, don't be.
Shizuno: Really,
Shizuno: who else among us could you ask?
Shima: Something you'd like to say to me?
Shizuno: No, sir.
Kaminagi: 90 minutes of recon today?
Kaminagi: They made it so that the Zega runs longer.
Kaminagi: And more Zega time,
Kaminagi: means I can just spend more time with you, Kyo!
Kyo: Yeah,
Kyo: that's the idea.
Kaminagi: It means a lot to me.
Kaminagi: Are you bringing me all those flowers?
Kaminagi: I think they're really pretty.
Kyo: Yeah, sure.
Kaminagi: You know,
Kaminagi: I can always hear your voice,
Kaminagi: when you talk to me.
Kyo: That's why I say stuff.
Kyo: I'm gonna give it a little gas.
Lemures: At the present,
Lemures: the Cerebrum has made up of eleven quantum servers,
Lemures: filled with humanity.
Lemures: Number of meta-bodies preserved:
Lemures: Three thousand.
Lemures: Current combat strength:
Lemures: Eight carriers.
Lemures: We have 42 holonic loaders at our disposal right now.
Lemures: Number of Cerebrants: 68.
Minato: There used to be over 300 servers around the globe.
Minato: Now we're down to less than a dozen?
Tarbo: In two months, we've lost three servers,
Tarbo: around 650 meta-bodies,
Tarbo: and 18 fully-awaken members to our cause.
Minato: I see,
Minato: and how does the Gardsorm combat strength compare?
Tarbo: We're still working on that,
Tarbo: but figure in the Anti-Zega,
Tarbo: and we're taking the account the speed of their weapons development...
Minato: Outnumbered and outgunned...
Minato: That's it, right?
Minato: What's going on?
Irie: The Altair.
Irie: It was spotted by a Gardsorm squadron!
Irie: They're taking heavy fire.
Minato: There are too many.
Minato: Order the Garuda and Hraesvelg to scramble on the double.
Sin: There you are.
Sin: I've found you!
Kyo: What's the big idea?!
Kyo: I barely get any time with her as it is!
Kaminagi: That's a really sweet thing to say, Kyo,
Kaminagi: but I'm pretty sure they don't care.
Kaminagi: Here, we go!
A.I.: Zegapain Altair,
A.I.: shifting to combat mode.
Kaminagi: Combat mode is green.
Kaminagi: Now expending Q.L. to form holonic field.
Kaminagi: Now, holonic lance!
Chris: What's the deal?
Chris: Why are we just sitting here?
Minato: Hold on.
Minato: Something isn't right here.
Chris: What's wrong?
Minato: Kobrals are assault units,
Minato: they've never sent them out on recon before.
Chris: Okay then.
Chris: So, it's a setup?
Chris: But, Kyo...
Minato: Commander Shima's still gone.
Minato: And he's counting on me
Minato: to protect this ship!
Minato: Just stand by for now!
May-Yen: Roger that.
Kyo: Damn it!
Kyo: They're fast!
Kaminagi: Kyo!
Kaminagi: Don't let them rattle you.
Kyo: Kaminagi!
Kaminagi: Right.
Kaminagi: Fast-forming our shields!
A.I.: Warning!
Kaminagi: Kyo!
Kaminagi: Above us!
A.I.: Kobral approaching from overhead!
Kaminagi: Look out!
Kyo: What?!
Sin: Now, I gotcha!
Kyo: It won't let go!
Kaminagi: Kaminagi!
Kaminagi: I'm on it!
Kaminagi: Holo-Blade Sparrow!
Kyo: Running away?
Kyo: It sure didn't put up much of a fight.
A.I.: Return limit,
A.I.: reached.
Kaminagi: We're
Kaminagi: out of Q.L.
Kyo: Guess our conversation got interrupted.
Kyo: So,
Kyo: call it a day?
Kaminagi: Yeah.
Kaminagi: We can talk tomorrow.
A.I.: Entangle, time out.
Minato: What's going on now?
Kuroshio: We have an intruder alert!
Kuroshio: Something snuck aboard with the Altair.
Minato: Care to expand on that?
Irie: It's a...
Irie: We are picking up a Gardsorm!
Minato: What did you say?
Ricerca: This is a level one alert!
Ricerca: A Gardsorm Reconstructant has boarded the vessel!
Ricerca: All security systems, on-line!
Kyo: On the Oceanus, a Gardsorm?!
Kyo: For real?
Kyo: But how did this happen?!
Kaminagi: K-Kyo...
Kaminagi: Kyo...
Kyo: What's the matter?
Kyo: It's on top of us!
Sin: Lightless ones.
Kyo: You want some of this?
Kyo: Dammit!
Kyo: That thing's flesh and blood!
Sin: You like it, also.
Chris: Sin!
Sin: No light in you.
May-Yu: Lu-shen, don't!
May-Yu: For all we know she's got explosives on her.
Kyo: Kaminagi,
Kyo: go back to the hospital in Maihama!
Kaminagi: But, Kyo!
Kyo: Don't worry, just go!
Kaminagi: Bye, Kyo...
Kaminagi: Initiate Q.L. Charge.
A.I.: Charge commencing.
Tarbo: Power reactor bulkheads, now sealed!
Tarbo: Mainframe core bulkheads, now sealed!
Fosetta: No weapons or bombs
Fosetta: of any known type
Fosetta: detected on the Reconstructant.
Minato: Well,
Minato: what objective could it have then?
Minato: And how could any organic creature survive quantum transmission?!
Irie: Maybe
Irie: it's survived because
Irie: it's a Reconstructant.
Irie: Living creatures can't usually withstand quantum transmission.
Irie: But maybe they've evolved in such a way that it's no longer fatal.
Kuroshio: It took totally advantage of a blind spot in our system.
Kuroshio: Who would've guessed it'd grab onto the Zega and ride it in here!
Kyo: Well, Vice-president what will we do?
Kyo: We got a living enemy aboard the ship.
Kyo: Our meta-bodies are useless.
Minato: Yes, I'm quite aware.
Minato: Dita,
Minato: where is the intruder now?
Dita: It's crossing through B block en route to D block.
Dita: Activating enhanced security systems.
Sin: So,
Sin: this is a ship of the lightless ones.
Sin: It looks just like
Sin: one of ours.
Dita: All weaponry in B block
Dita: just destroyed itself.
Fosetta: Also, beam attack is having no effect on it!
Kyo: No way!
Kyo: It's invincible.
Lu-Shen: Of course it isn't.
Lu-Shen: Reconstructants are living things!
Lu-Shen: They can be killed.
Ricerca: It's coming.
Ricerca: Now, entering D block!
Minato: Seal off D block now!
Minato: Activate fire suppression.
Minato: We can use the fire retardant gas to choke the life out of it!
Sin: What's happening?
Ricerca: Oxygen level dropping rapidly!
Kyo: All right, it's working!
Minato: What's wrong?!
Dita: The Reconstructant has accessed our systems!
Dita: It's forcing our bulkheads to open up!
Minato: That's impossible!
Kyo: What the hell, it can do that, too?!
Kyo: It's acting just like...
Kyo: just like it's one of us!
Dita: It's free again.
Dita: And it's resumed its former path.
Minato: Where is that thing trying to go?
Ricerca: Anticipating path!
Ricerca: Right here!
Ricerca: It's headed straight for the bridge!
Minato: It wants to hijack the Oceanus?
Minato: Lemures!
Minato: Initiate full bridge lockdown.
Lemures: Roger that.
Ricerca: The Reconstructant!
Ricerca: It's here!
Sin: That girl.
Sin: Within.
Kyo: Hey.
Kyo: Are we safe in here?
Lemures: Unlike the bulkheads,
Lemures: it's impossible to access the bridge during a lockdown.
Tarbo: Its physical abilities may be far beyond a human's.
Tarbo: But nothing on two legs can breach that door.
Kyo: Ah? What's the...
Lu-Shen: Sin!
Minato: But how is it even here?
Fosetta: This isn't its physical body!
Kyo: Reconstructants
Kyo: can become meta-bodies, too?!
Sin: Not here.
Sin: Why not?
Sin: I was so certain she'd be here.
Kyo: Vice-president!
Sin: Where is she?!
Sin: Where is she?
Sin: Where is Yehl?!
Sin: Where?
Lu-Shen: Where is Yehl?!
Kyo: What the hell do you want with Shizuno, you freak?
Sin: Tell me where Yehl is, now!
Minato: Jeez.
Minato: Not here.
Sin: I see.
Sin: You, then,
Sin: tell me why.
Sin: You lightless ones.
Sin: Why do you persist in fighting us?
Sin: I can burn you down
Sin: to nothing without giving it a second thought.
Sin: Now, answer me.
Sin: What compels you to fight?!
Minato: You fool... Isn't it obvious?
Minato: We're fighting to survive!
Sin: You, next.
Sin: Why do you fight?
Kyo: Damn you!
Sin: You will explain why you fight.
Lu-Shen: Why do you fight us?!
Lu-Shen: Explain that!
Lu-Shen: Why are you changing the earth into something else?!
Sin: And you there.
Sin: Why do you fight?
Minato: Fosetta, now!
Fosetta: Roger!
Sin: Why fight us?
Sin: You are all doom.
Kyo: 'Cause you're the ones who stole it away from us!
Kyo: And I'll be the one who destroys your future.
Kyo: And that day is coming.
Sin: You did that?!
Sin: I hate you!
Sin: So, die!
Sin: Die now!
Lu-Shen: Are you okay?
Kyo: I'm fine.
Kyo: But why does that thing come here? To talk?
Kyo: What gives?
Minato: Where is the Reconstructant?
Lemures: Our on board sensors are damaged.
Lemures: It's a side-effect of Fosetta's destruction.
Dita: I'm loading her, now.
Dita: The reinstallation will take another 3 and half minutes.
Minato: We need her now!
A.I.: Q.L. Charge, complete.
Kaminagi: Now that you're nice and full of Q.L.,
Kaminagi: Kyo and I can go out any time.
Kaminagi: Um... Excuse me.
Kaminagi: Are you all right?
Kaminagi: You look hurt.
Sin: Please tell me!
Sin: Why...
Sin: do you people with no light
Sin: want to fight us?
Sin: Tell me!
Kaminagi: But, I...
Sin: Tell me, please!
Sin: I went through all of this just to find out.
Kaminagi: I don't know.
Sin: You do know.
Kaminagi: Because...
Kaminagi: I never want to lose certain things.
Kaminagi: I want to protect them.
Kaminagi: I want to protect the things that can never be replaced.
Sin: Things that can never be...
Sin: replaced?
Kaminagi: Uh... Uh-huh.
Sin: Me too.
Sin: Sin has that too.
Sin: You are a good person.
Sin: You are still a lightless person,
Sin: but Sin likes you.
Sin: Still, there's something
Sin: odd
Sin: about your structure.
Sin: There are holes in you.
Sin: All right.
Sin: Since you're a good person...
Sin: I'll do this for you.
Kyo: Kaminagi!
Sin: All done.
Sin: There aren't any holes in you now.
Sin: It's much better.
Sin: Sin thinks that you like it.
Chris: Go to hell,
Chris: Sin!
Ricerca: Kobral, approaching!
Tarbo: Fire antiaircraft guns!
Kyo: Hey!
Kyo: Kaminagi!
Kyo: You gotta wake up!
Kaminagi: Listen Kyo.
Kaminagi: I think...
Kaminagi: that Gardsorm did something nice for me.
Kyo: Kaminagi!
Sin: Abyss!
Sin: I understand them, Abyss.
Sin: Now I understand it,
Sin: why the lightless ones fight.
Sin: So they won't ever lose them.
Sin: They must protect them.
Sin: The things that can never...
Sin: be replaced.
Abyss: So I see.
Abyss: That is why we fight.
Abyss: We evolved to gain light.
Abyss: We've lost that in the process.
Abyss: There is nothing we can ever lose.
Abyss: No.
Abyss: Not even our lives.
Shima: What's wrong?
Shima: What happened here?
Minato: There's nothing to worry about.
Minato: We're fine.
Minato: The danger has already been averted.
Shizuno: What?
Shizuno: What is it?
Minato: A friend of yours came around
Minato: while you were out and was asking about you,
Minato: Yehl.
Fosetta: Ryoko has been restored to us.
Fosetta: However, it's not without a price.
Fosetta: Her emotional data still remains trapped within the Altair.
Dita: But Kyo Sogoru must confront a new problem now.
Dita: Those who live in the Maihama server and Cerebrants like him,
Dita: which ones can he call "real?"
Ricerca: Is everyone fake?
Ricerca: Is anybody real?
Ricerca: Only a single flower knows for sure.
Ricerca: Next time, on Zegapain:
Ricerca: With False Wounds, Pain Withers.
Dita: My pain, never to be forgotten.
