Kyo: A bunch of green clouds, all full of red rain. Everything's wrong.
Shima: Do you need an explanation?
Kyo: Tonight at midnight, the Maihama server is scheduled to reset itself. The city, its people, and all of their memories will revert to how they were 149 days ago.
Shima: Someone told you. Well, that saves me the trouble. Correct. The quantum computer isn't some magic box. They can't maintain their data unless they run constantly -- one of their unique limitations. As you know, running the data awakens new Cerebrants. But the processing requirements for a virtual world of a 5-kilometer radius and 400 inhabitants are enormous. And people change, they grow. The data grows exponentially, it approaches infinity. The computer can't handle it. Error, breakdown, collapse.
Kyo: So you do the only thing that'll keep the world from shutting down: You reset it.
Shima: Every time without fail. The same five months forever. Maihama will never see the second semester. The morning of September 1st never comes.
Kyo: Living in a world devoid of growth or change... Eternal life doesn't come cheap.
Shima: Hmph, you don't even get that. All machines break -- quantum servers aren't exempt from this fact.
Kyo: You mean... Then what's the point of all this?
Shima: To preserve us until the day of rebirth. And nothing more.
Kyo: The day of rebirth? We can bring humanity back?! Tell me how!
Shima: The Gardsorm are well acquainted with the method. We, however, are not. There's no point in getting depressed about it. This is our reality; dwelling on it doesn't further our cause. As for Ryoko Kaminagi... she'll be reinserted into the Maihama server when it resets tonight. I've given you your explanation. If you'll excuse me.
Shizuno: Well, how did it feel to explain it all yourself? Now maybe you have a some idea what I had to go through.
Shima: We're having a meeting. I can empathize with you later. Shall we continue?
Shizuno: Sorry I'm late. Let's get started.
Chris: You sure Kyo can handle this without you?
Shizuno: You're my partner now, not him.
Chris: You're a tough chick, you know that?
Shizuno: If I were, I'd be with him.
Kyo: A reset. It's not death or oblivion. Just returning to what we were. But nobody else will know about our looping world, our infinite hell. Death would be kinder than this. Maybe ignorance is bliss for the others. But not all of them. Because a few of them can feel it and someday something may break -- we'll break. Stop it! Don't look at me like that!
Kuroshio: I always get so antsy right before it. I hate it.
Irie: Of course you do. We, Cerebrants, are exempt from the reset's effect. We get to hang on to our memories. We know we're stuck in a rut, same old thing, time after time.
Kuroshio: I wish I could sit in the student council room for five months. You know, just keep myself distracted with my duties.
Lu-Shen: It's a milestone we'll have to observe as long as we live. One does get used to it.
Minato: Oh! Why did the commander leave everything for me to handle? Dita, how was the work coming along?
Dita: Maintenance on the reset system is complete. All adjustments are running fairly well, but a few delays have cropped up on our optimization work.
Minato: Hurry it up. We only have eight hours until the reset. Fosetta, what's the status of the Maihama server?
Fosetta: No fatal errors detected. We're still trying hard to stabilize the environmental data.
Minato: Ricerca, what's the latest on the radar?
Ricerca: No blips on the radar within 100 kilometers.
Minato: Keep your eyes peeled, nonetheless. Our Pellucidar mode and Zegas are down for repairs. The Oceanus is practically unarmed.
Ricerca: I know!
Minato: And I know that you know!
Lemures: We'll have the new weapons to counter the Anti-Zega mounted on the Altair soon. Repairs on the Garuda and Hraesvelg will take a bit longer, however. With the introduction of the Anti-Zega, the combat superiority we used to enjoy is gone. The rules of the game all just changed on us.
Shima: I'm not usually one to gamble, but you're saying we have no choice.
Lemures: Basically. The final plan... you're going to attempt it?
Shima: In less than three months.
Kyo: Huh? What's this? Me?
Kyo: So this is my diary? Huh? Here's today's entry. "It's August 31st, this awful day has come yet again. I'm so sick of this repeating facade. I pray that all these words won't make any sense to me. But they will. Once I've done this, they'll restore me and I'll become a Cerebrant again, and again." I wrote this, well the old me. "I don't wanna be one of them again. I've left warnings for my future self, that means you. This is the fifth time I've suffered through this day since awakening as a Cerebrant. Bitter, party of one." Shut up, you idiot.
Tomigai: Hey Sogoru, what'cha doing? Here, get a load of this! Izumi wrote me a love letter. Cutie paper and everything. But even if I write her back, she'd never get it, would she?
Hayase: It's not like you're dying or anything, but still kind of sad. Because the two of us are gonna forget.
Tomigai: That's why we figured we'd spend the last night hanging out with you, Sogoru.
Kyo: I'm glad you came.
Hayase: Kawaguchi and Usio are heading over, too. It's the last night of summer break. Let's end it on a high note.
Kawaguchi: Hey, look at these.
Tomigai: This is great!
Mizuki: It's the first day of school. God, we all look like little kids.
Tomigai: Yeah, we do.
Usio: Man, all lot's happened to us over the last five months, hasn't it?
Kawaguchi: Hey, it's me. I look cool.
Mizuki: Yeah, whatever.
Kawaguchi: And there's Kyo. Lame!
Kyo: Who you calling lame?
Ushio: Do you lie you're cool?
Kawaguchi: How come you getting so defensive? Maybe you'll like this better. The Maihama high school swim club's gonna sweep the championship. And we're gonna train our asses off to do it! Starting tomorrow!
Kyo: Tomorrow?
Kawaguchi: Kaminagi shot these videos, right?
Mizuki: Well, duh. Who else do you think could have done it?
Kawaguchi: I wish she was here hanging out with us right now.
Mizuki: Don't hold your breath. Ryoko closed the night pretty early.
Kawaguchi: Yeah, I know I'll see her tomorrow.
Kyo: Tomorrow's gonna suck.
Hayase: No kidding. 'Cause tomorrow we'll've forgotten all of this. We have to have that fight again. That's gonna suck.
Mizuki: Huh?
Tomigai: But that means you guys can make up again too. Right, Sogoru?
Kyo: Sure.
Mizuki: What are you talking about? A little help? Hmm?
Kawaguchi: Pay attention. 'Cause I got something to say to you.
Kyo: Huh? What did I do?
Kawaguchi: Look, Kyo. You're really strong. So you try to protect us from crap, but it just wears you out. You know, it wouldn't kill you to depend on us. You can't win a race all by yourself. It's all just a big medley race, the winning team has to win it together.
Usio: Yeah, dude. What he said. Bring your A-game to whatever it is you're doing, and know that that's enough.
Kyo: Usio... Kawaguchi..
Mizuki: Well, I think maybe we all have to suffer a little bit more. They say pain ultimately leads to happiness, for how could you ever know the one without the other. It makes a lot of sense.
Kyo: There's no joy without pain?
Mizuki: I'm just kidding! I read that, in a comic book! Like you don't read them too!
Kyo: Hey guys, wanna go swimming?
Usio: Yeah, good call.
Kawaguchi: Sure, I'm game.
Hayase: Oh, what the hell. Let's do it.
Everyone: Cool!
Tomigai: Okay, on your mark! Get set... Go!
Kawaguchi: Go!
Hayase: Go, Usio!
Usio: Kawaguchi!
Tomigai: No way! You're about to break the school record!
Mizuki: What? Really? Are you serious?
Kawaguchi: Go, Kyo!
Kyo: See you tomorrow...
Teacher: All right, and now a few words form our esteemed principal.
Tomigai: Sogoru. Hey, Sogoru! I'm glad you're gonna be in my class!
Principal: Thank you very much. First off, I'd like to welcome you to your new school. As you enter Maihama Minami high school today, you take the first of many steps down a new road in your life. When you go to classes, there'll be a lot of people you don't know. You might feel a bit lost. Who wouldn't? But starting today, you'll get to know them, and before long you will make (unclear, speaking simultaneously) many new friends. In conclusion, I'd like to thank you all for taking your edu--
Kyo: I will protect you until the day you reborn. All of you.
Kyo: Hey, so Tomigai. Where's Kaminagi? It's weird, haven't seen her today.
Tomigai: But don't you know where she is?
Kyo: Where is she?! Come on, talk! Where's the hospital that Kaminagi's been sent to?!
Kurashige: What's with you, kid? First day of school and you're already starting fights?
Kyo: Kaminagi and I grew up together, okay?!
Kurashige: Oh... I see. It's a real tragedy.
Kyo: What...?
Kurashige: I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. She was in a bad traffic accident a few days ago.
Kyo: Traffic accident?
Kyo: What the hell is this?! Kaminagi, what's wrong with you? Come on, Kaminagi! Talk to me!
Shima: It's no use. Ryoko's data salvage was successful. But we weren't able to restore her with a normally-functioning meta-body.
Lu-Shen: So, Ryoko is...
Irie: Oh, no.
Minato: It can't be! Why didn't you tell us before?
Shizuno: There's enough data left for her personality. But then, when we try and forcibly restore it, we get an error cascade. Her personality collapses.
Chris: And Ryoko disappears.
Kyo: This is impossible. It can't be.
Lu-Shen: Why then? Why, why did you bring her back?
Shizuno: For Kyo's sake.
Lu-Shen: And is Kyo happy about this? Is Ryoko?
Shizuno: Think of who you're talking to! I was the one who found her data! Do you really think I could just delete it? They're fragments but they're still her! I'm not as strong as Shima is, I know. I couldn't tell Kyo. I'm sorry.
Kyo: Mr. President, when's it gonna be?! When will Kaminagi wake up again?!
Shima: I would ask you the same question.
AI: Unknown quantum energy reaction at 11 o'clock. Range: 98 kilometers. It's Anti-Zega Coatlicue.
Minato: Battle stations, now! Take the Oceanus into the cloud bank!
Kyo: Hey, Kaminagi! Where did she go?!
Shima: Kyo, go board the Zegapain. You'll understand everything.
Shima: Can we deploy the Zegas?
Minato: Only the Altair's battle ready. However, the repairs haven't been tested yet.
Kaminagi: By constantly varying the light armor's phase operation, we can nullify the weapon's effects.
Kyo: Kaminagi...
Kyo: A launcher!
Kaminagi: It's okay. Just give me a sec. Cutting power sockets 210 through 228. Rerouting 36 to 193. Now bypassing 47 to 115. Main power systems check, green. The power's restored. Go for it!
Kyo: Will do!
Irie: He's a match for the Anti-Zega.
Chris: Not him. Them, Kyo and Ryoko.
May-yu: Yeah... but how's she even awake for right now?
Shizuno: It's because the Zega she [is with] Kyo in combat. That's when she can be the old Ryoko.
AI: Q.L., dropping.
Kaminagi: We're running out of Q.L.! Hey, Kyo. Use the new weapon and finish it off! I'll forward you the data.
Kyo: What the...? Oh yeah, that weapon!
Kaminagi: We only get one chance. Focus all of our remaining Q.L. and let them have it.
Kyo: Leave it to me!
AI: Powerful energy collecting in head of Coatlicue.
Kaminagi: He's doing it, too?
Kyo: Like I care! Holo-Bolt Pressure! Now it's your turn!
Kyo: Kaminagi, are you all right?
Kaminagi: Mmm... The Anti-Zega?
Kyo: It looks like they're out of power, too.
Abyss: Tell me.
Kyo: Abyss? How did he survive the blast?
Abyss: How much longer must we play this game? For how long must we persist in killing each other?
Shizuno: We couldn't achieve a perfect integration. The quantum data of hers we found in the Altair's meta-body buffer is, well... There was too much hardware damage, too much data corruption during the transmission. This is the best we could do.
May-Yen: Oh, no...
Chris: Lovers who can only be together on the battle field. What sort of life can she have?
Shizuno: She'll grow up as Kyo's partner. It's the only choice she has left.
Lu-Shen: You brought her back as a shadow of herself. Because you still need her to fight. Is that it?
Kaminagi: Oh, Kyo... Look at me. Look what I've become...
Kyo: There's no joy without pain. But how much longer must we suffer? And what if the price is too steep?
Kyo: How? How was Sin able to get onboard the Oceanus? She doesn't seem to have any weapons with her. But what is she after? She says she can't see the light? Is that even possible? She doesn't understand why we humans are fighting them? No, stop! Stay away from Kaminagi! Against these things that can reconstruct themselves over and over, we're totally helpless!
Next time, on Zegapain:
"The Restored."
My pain, never to be forgotten.

Kaminagi: Hi, Kyo. I've missed you... so much.
Kyo: Kaminagi.
Lu-Shen: It's Ryoko!
AI: System check.
Kaminagi: All green.
AI: Countdown starting. Transmission scatter rate, confirmed. Bednorz parameter, stable. Bednorz curve, holding.
Kaminagi: Restoration coordinates, set and locked!
Kyo: Kaminagi.
Kaminagi: We can talk later. We have to hurry!
Kyo: But how... how are you...
Kaminagi: If we don't defeat the Anti-Zega, everybody aboard this ship is gonna die!
AI: Altair, transmit.
Kyo: Entangle!
Kaminagi: Holonic field, forming. Holonic Launcher.
Kyo: Here comes that light armor canceller!
Kaminagi: Don't worry. We're gonna be fine!
AI: Holonic shield, phase changing.
Kyo: We're blocking it.
Kaminagi: By constantly varying the light armor's phase operation, we can nullify the weapon's effects.
