Ryoko: It's wrong. It's all wrong.

Kyo: Stay back! No! stay back!

Ryoko: Over there. The real world's over there.

Kyo: Kaminagi! Don't do it! Don't do it! Kaminagi! Kaminagi!

Ryoko: Huh! Rise and shine, everybody. 'Cause here comes the sun.

Kyo: Hey, Kaminagi! Did Kaminagi come aboard?

Lu-Shen: Kaminagi. Who?

Kyo: Ryoko Kaminagi!

Lu-Shen: Oh, yes. Your girl friend.

Kyo: Look! One of those icons appeared on her forehead. Did she come here, or not?

Lu-Shen: Many potential Cerebrants inhabit the Maihama server.
She's but one of many.
As we speak, the crews of the Oceanus are busy analyzing the respective data.

Kuroshio: I've got a signal. Someone's going in the Cerebrant mode.
In front of the main gate at Maihama high school.

Irie: The Tomigai shop, right?

Kyo: Tomigai?

Minato: It seems that we're finding a lot, aren't we?.

Shima: So it seems. Are we ready for them?

Minato: Under the guise of the student council, they've been brought into our contact network.

Shima: Contact network?
That aside, have you traced the Kobral landing?

Minato: We're still analyzing the data.

Shima: Time enough for Cerebrant hunt.
Minato, continue with the tracking analysis.

Minato: Aye, sir!

Kyo: Oh, a Cerebrant hunt ,huh?

Lu-Shen: We called it the harvest festival back in the Shanghai server.
The wording is rather more aggressive here.

Kyo: I know you're up to something.
What's the deal?

Lu-Shen: Kyo! Would you care for some tea?


Tomigai: Oh, what gives? This really sucks!
How come I have to take extra classes, huh?

Boy1: So, they nailed you, too?

Boy2: Yeah! The old e-mail cast that doom.

Boy1: I didn't think I did that bad at the end of the term!

Tomigai: Hayase?
So they're gonna teach the different grades together?


Kyo: Where's Kaminagi?
Isn't she coming to this?

Lu-Shen: She has found an alternative that works for her.
And an attractive alternative that...

Kyo: Huh?

Lu-Shen: Ah.... Nothing.


Tomigai: What are these lessons about anyway?

Izumi: Ah!

Tomigai: What? Is something wrong?

Izumi: Ah... No.

Tomigai: Do I have zit on my face or something?

Izumi: Ah... I think it's cute.

Tomigai: Ah...
What is that stuff?

Girl1: Does this mean the class is starting?

Girl2: What's with all the numbers?

Tomigai: What the...?!


Kyo: What are you showing them?

Shima: Anything?

Kuroshio: Still no reaction as of yet.


Tomigai: Sogoru.

Hayase: Those're Kyo.

Kyo: Say what?

Lu-Shen: We're presenting your meta-body data during combat as a raw mathematical progression.

Kyo: You're saying they can decipher it?
They know that it's me?

Lu-Shen: Yes. They figured out it's you.
But it doesn't look like they can actually read the combat data, pity.

Kyo: Are those two Cerebrants, aren't they?

Shima: Were any more?

Kuroshio: No. Only the two of them.
How would you like us to proceed, Commander?

Shima: I don't need the additional bridge personnel at the moment.
Keep them.

Kyo: Hey! Mr. President!
Are you sure about this?

Kuroshio: All those meta-bodies in the Maihama server... we dragged very people we tried to protect into the battle.
Ironic when you think about it, that struck you as a conflict of interests?

Kyo: Of course it does!

Kuroshio: I suppose.

Irie: Still though, it's very rare to have so many candidates pop up at one time like this.
We have pretty high hopes for this batch.

Kuroshio: True.
Although, they're not quite ready yet. Those two, maybe.

Tomigai: Oh, what's up with that? How come everybody else gets to go home, and we have to stay?

Hayase: I'm damned if I know, man.

Kuroshio: Of course, not many people ever break through that wall, and mature into true Cerebrants.
And if they don't achieve that before the server resets, any progress is lost.

Shizuno: Ah!

Kyo: Before resets? Not sure I follow.
Oh, but wait, yah!
Just 'cause you're awaken, that doesn't automatically make you a Cerebrant.
There's more to it.
I bet you this, a bunch of 'em isn't even ripe yet!

Lu-Shen: Indeed.
Meaning we still can't be sure whether your girlfriend is one yet.
Beg your pardon.
It's nothing one should smile about.

Minato: Commander!
We have the analysis results.
Upon the escaping from our fighters, The Kobral headed to the north.
We can't get an exact fix on where its flight path terminated, but it was definitely along this course.
Arque she....
She left us this one last gift.

Shima: Indeed.
Someone tell Chris about this on the double.

Kyo: I'm on it!


Tarbo: You are going to have to sleep eventually.

Chris: I'm OK.
I'm getting all the rest that I need just sitting here.

Tarbo: How's that?

Chris: During combat, death could take you in a blink of an eye. All your senses are cranked up to the breaking point.
Closing my eyes for even this long is a luxury.

Tarbo: Even with me intruding?

Chris: HAHA.
Now you calm me down.
Your silly chatter is just what the doctor ordered right about now.

Tarbo: I hoped you'd say that.

Kyo: Hey, Chris!
The Gardsorm stronghold, we just found it!

Chris: Where is it!?


Kyo: Even I could understand.
The burning need Chris felt to train harder than ever.
To avenge Arque no matter the cost.
A vendetta he could only lay to rest by attacking the enemy's main base.


Chris: Thanks for taking care of Pieta.

Mei-Yen: My pleasure.
He is such a cute puppy.
It's fun, the way he scampers around.

Chris: Do your best back there.

Mei-Yen: I will.
Deploying holonic rifle now.
Oh Yah!
But first I had better take us out of the target drones' flight path.

Chris: There's no need to hurry.


Kyo: But Chris there is.
I felt that same urge [annoying] at me
The urge to pair up quickly to get back in the fight.


Mey-Yen: Ah!

Chris: No there!

Mey-Yen: I'm really sorry!

Chris: Hell! I'm having fun!
Let's play with them a bit.
Trick the drones into killing each other.
And [nuke] those missiles behind us, too.


Kyo: Everyone has got high hopes, you can see them in their eyes.
They will be glad to get even one new pilot.

Shizuno: That's right.

Kyo: The awakening Cerebrants in Maihama, you want pilots, don't you?
But can't you make an exception for Kaminagi?

Sizuno: An exception?

Kyo: Not her. Anyone but her.

Shizuno: How come?

Kyo: Because I swore that I would protect her.

Shizuno: So she is what you're fighting to protect?

Kyo: Yeah.

Shizuno: Isn't that nice.
However in the end this decision isn't yours to make.

Kyo: Hold on! What do you mean?


Mizuki: Some happy Kyo, and some angry Kyo.
There is Kyo today, Kyo yesterday, and some Kyo just for flavor.
This is a whole bunch of Kyo.
Hey, wait! What about this clip?

Ryoko: Agh...! That's [the poo-poo xxx/ぷーぷりお]!
So did anything jump out at you?

Mizuki: Only that a certain somebody I know's got Kyo on the brain.
Come on!
You need this much footage?

Ryoko: I know. But something is missing.

Mizuki: Would our tireless director like a little advice?
I know cinematography whiz .... but don't you need some shots of what Kyo is seeing?

Ryoko: Haa. You right.

Mizuki: Ryoko honey!
How about taking a couple of shots of yourself?

Ryoko: There is no point.
I'm not what Kyo's looking at.

Mizuki: What's that?

Ryoko: Huh.
To tell you the truth, I've only just started figuring out of it lately.
But right before I can put it into words, it drifts away.

Koji: Hey, sis!
Come play wizard for me, OK.?
Being a Gunner is too hard by myself.
This stupid Gornes are hard to get lock on.
And their defenses are really tough.
See? It closed up again.

Ryoko: Just calm down, and you'll do fine.

Koji: Incoming!

Ryoko: Deploying launcher.
Aim for the ocean!
Now!

Koji: The ocean?
Now!

Ryoko: See!
They have to open up their armor to fire and that's when you get them.

Koji: I get it!
So, that's what you aim at.

Ryoko: Right.
We can't stop defending this world.
Someone has to.
Someone has been protecting us for a long time.

Kyo: I wonder if they have done training for today.
Kaminagi! Hey!
What's going on?

Ryoko: Kyo, I .... Look.
I'm not exactly sure how to say this.
But...
I understand what you were hiding, because I'm a Cerebrant now, too, Kyo.

Kyo: What do you mean?
Ah... Cerebrant?
Never heard one of those.

Ryoko: Come on! I know!
It's hot, huh?
Naturally, 'cause it's summer.
Wanna go get some ice cream?
Here Kyo. This one's for you.
That'll be 400 yen, please.

Kyo: Huh....

Ryoko: Just kidding! It's free.
Hey, nobody's gonna yell at us for taking it.

Kyo: Kaminagi!

Ryoko: I know it now.
The world I've been living in is artificial.
Like a movie set or a big backdrop on a studio lot, right?
So tell me.
How long have you been trying to keep this secret all to yourself?

Kyo: I don't wanna talk about it.
It'll be better if you didn't know.

Ryoko: Why is that?
Let's have some fun!
Why waste all this?

Kyo: Have some fun?
How did you....?

Ryoko: You'll feel like going for a ride?
You've got a license, right?

Kyo: Wait a second.
I do. But not the kind of let me drive a two-seater.

Ryoko: When do you get so square?
You broke rules all the time, when you thought this is real.
OK then, do you want me to drive?
Although, the girl's supposed to sit on the back.

Kyo: Why the hell not, right?!
Just don't be surprised when I hit something!

Ryoko: I know you'll keep me safe.
All right!


Kuroshio: Confirmed!

Irie: Ryoko Kaminagi is already sufficiently awakened to become a Cerebrant pilot.

Shima: Um..

Lu-Shen: Too bad for Kyo.

Minato: Interesting!
It doesn't bother her.
She's adjusted to this massive paradigm shift more easily than the rest.
You know She reminds me of a lot of me when I was salvaged from the Sydney server.


Tomigai: What's up?
How long do we have to wait here anyway?

Hayase: Beats me.


Kyo: How far do we go?

Ryoko: Let's ride on forever!

Kyo: Huh?

Ryoko: Why?
You saying it can't be done?

Kyo: Pretty much!

Ryoko: Too bad!
In that case, take me to the edge of the world.

Kyo: The edge of the world?

Ryoko: Don't wanna?

Kyo: I didn't say no, it just.....

Ryoko: Just what?

Kyo: I'm not sayin'!
Going this fast feels awesome, doesn't it?

Ryoko: Yeah!

Kyo: Like you become one with the wind!

Ryoko: Oh, please!

Kyo: That's why I didn't wanna say it before.

Ryoko: Hey, take a left up there!
And a right!

Kyo: Wait! What?

Ryoko: Am I being a pain?

Kyo: No way. You're cool!


Shima: I'm convinced.
Our being here has affected the construct as though we were catalyst.

Shizuno: Accidental but... the ends justify the means, don't they?

Shima: It's beginning, isn't it? With those two.
How'd it upset you to see another woman sitting behind him!

Shizuno: Come on. Come on! Stay with me.

Ryoko: So. This is the edge, Huh?
Guess we can't go any further.

Kyo: Yeah.

Ryoko: It's impossible to leave Maihama, isn't it?
That means.

Kyo: And that means, no summer trip to Shibuya.

Ryoko: Even in the other world?
We can't go in the real world, either?

Kyo: There is no Tokyo.

Ryoko: Just like in the game, huh.
That's awful.

Kyo: You know.
We can cross the ocean if we go the other way.

Ryoko: Yeah?

Kyo: The water there is so clear and beautiful.

Ryoko: Wow.
Oh, no fair!

Kyo: No fair?

Ryoko: I wanna go see it with you.
Come on, Kyo.
Show me the real world.

Kyo: Listen to me.
Bad things can happen to people over there.
And not just out sick....

Ryoko: Don't move a muscle!

Kyo: Hey!

Ryoko: Don't mind me.
I wanna take pictures of the real world.
This summer we're gonna make a film.
And it's gonna be a documentary shot from your point of view, Kyo.

Kyo: My view?

Ryoko: Everything in this world is made-up, right?

Kyo: I guess so, yeah.

Ryoko: They did a good job with orange.

Kyo: Yeah, it's nice and warm.

Ryoko: And I do know it that everyone here is alive even if the world is fake.

Kyo: Yeah.

Ryoko: Mizuki, and Koji, and Tomigai, and you, Kyo.
Everyone is alive.
But, there were times.
Times I realized there was something wrong with this world, it was so hard to take. So sad.

Kyo: I know what you mean.

Ryoko: I felt alone and utterly hopeless.
You don't wanna take me with you?

Kyo: I didn't say that. It's just.....

Ryoko: Just what?

Kyo: I'm not saying it this time.

Ryoko: What's that supposed to mean?

Kyo: Consider that your answer.
I think we should head back?

Ryoko: Sure.



Shima: Gunner and wizard, a talent for both.
Ryoko Kaminagi has that sort of talent.

Minato: I know I can hardly believe it myself.

Shima: She said you and I make a good couple.

Minato: Did she say that in front of everyone?!

Shima: However, it looks like there's some trouble waiting for us on the horizon.

Minato: Is there? I suppose so.

Shima: But that we'll have to wait 'till later.
Smile for the camera, Minato!

Minato: Next time on Zegapain
"A New Wizard".

Shima: My thoughts, never to be erased.
