Zegapain >24.One Drop of Light

Tarbo: Error occurring in main Q.L. conduit!
Irie: Outputs dropping on defense field generator number three!
Irie: It's overloaded!
Kuroshio: Auxiliary generator three is down!
Kuroshio: Routing into 12.
A.I.: Q.L. charging, complete.
Shizuno: We're fully powered again.
Chris: Let's go!
Shizuno: Right!
Shizuno: Entangle!
Ricerca: Auxiliary guns 2 and 3, hit!
Ricerca: Heavy damage!
Fosetta: Emergency Q.L. shutoff, engaged!
Kuroshio: God damn it!
Kuroshio: We're running out of options!
Kuroshio: What are your orders?
Dita: Offensive weaponry operational status down to 60 percent and dropping.
Fosetta: The damaged sections are sealed off!
May-Yen: Commander Shima...
Minato: Sir?
Shima: Altair...
Shima: Garuda...
Shima: where are they?
Minato: They've vanished.
Shima: I... see...
Shima: Then they too have left... this world in favor of a better one...
Minato: Commander!
Minato: Commander, why are you smiling?!
Minato: The mission has failed!
Minato: We made it into G-Phaetus, only to find ourselves surrounded by the enemy!
Minato: So, how can you smile?
Shima: All form is emptiness...
Shima: All emptiness is form...
Minato: Commander!
Minato: What are you talking about?!
Minato: I don't understand!
Kyo: What the hell is this?!
A.I.: This space is based on data of the past Earth as saved by the Gardsorm.
Kaminagi: Data of the Earth from the past?
Kyo: What's the big idea?
Kaminagi: Forget about it.
Kaminagi: It's probably a trap!
Kyo: They're screwing with us!
Kyo: I can't be led astray.
Kyo: The enemy isn't Naga.
Kyo: It's Abyss and Sin,
Kyo: the ones facing me now!
Kyo: And they're starting to piss me off!
Lu-Shen: Kyo!
Abyss: Is yelling at us all you can do, Kyo Sogoru?
Sin: The lightless one's nothing but a fool.
Sin: He'll be dead soon enough.
Abyss: Naga's vision for man is sublime,
Abyss: far beyond what that one can comprehend.
A.I.: Unknown energy fields, configurating.
May-Yu: What's that magic circle-looking thing?
Lu-Shen: It's a micro quantum portal
Lu-Shen: and might as well be magic!
Abyss: All that awaits you now is destruction.
May-Yu: You mean he can't run out of ammo?!
A.I.: Q.L. consumption level, critical.
Kyo: How many minutes we've got left?!
A.I.: This area is believed to be a new configuration of the deutera zone.
Kaminagi: I think time passes differently when you're here than it does out there.
Kaminagi: Our Q.L. isn't running out!
Kyo: Then there's no retreat.
Kyo: They won't stop and neither will we.
Kyo: Lu-shen, what'll we do now?
Lu-Shen: Simple.
Lu-Shen: We fight until we die!
Kyo: Look, nobody's gonna die here!
Kyo: Got it?
Kyo: Not while I'm around.
Lu-Shen: Listen to that.
Lu-Shen: He really has taught me everything.
May-Yu: About what?
Lu-Shen: How I should live,
Lu-Shen: and even more importantly, how I should die.
Kyo: Wait, it teleported?!
Kaminagi: Kyo!
Lu-Shen: Two of them?!
May-Yu: It only looks that way because it's so fast!
A.I.: Energy supply from deutera zone is still stable.
Kyo: Fat lot of good all that Q.L. is doing us! Damn it!
Kyo: We're helpless against this thing, Lu-shen!
Kyo: Lu-shen?
Lu-Shen: I would shield you if I had the power.
Lu-Shen: Forgive me.
Kyo: What the hell do you mean?
Lu-Shen: I wonder if,
May-Yen: perhaps,
Lu-Shen: this is karma having its way with me.
Kyo: What are you babbling about?!
Lu-Shen: When you were resurrected, I didn't trust you.
Lu-Shen: The new you was different
Lu-Shen: from before.
Lu-Shen: And now, fate has seen fit to team us up again.
Lu-Shen: Funny, is it not?
Kyo: We're funny?
Kyo: What, like a comedy duo?
Kyo: Or is this some kind of joke?
Kaminagi: Kyo! Focus!
Lu-Shen: Kyo!
Kyo: Then let's get to the punch line.
Minato: The final operation has failed.
Shima: Now... there is...
Minato: Now there's what?
Minato: Only one place to go...
Minato: Go to the Maihama server...
Minato: all hands, evacuate.
Shizuno: Shima really said that?
Shima: Irie...
Shima: Kuroshio...
Shima: Forgive me... for...
Shima: dragging you...
Shima: along...
Irie: Sir, please don't!
Kuroshio: When it's all said and done,
Kuroshio: ah, we chose this path!
Shima: Now go...
Minato: What about you?!
Minato: Then I'm staying!
Minato: I'll be right here by your side!
Minato: Until the end!
Shima: Minato...
Shima: You've always been...
Shima: by my side.
Shima: Thank you.
Minato: Commander!
Minato: Shima!
Shizuno: It... it's time.
Lemures: To a man who fought with his very soul,
Lemures: we salute you.
Lemures: May we meet again in a better place.
Chris: I pray that we will.
Lemures: Shima!
Lu-Shen: He's coming!
Lu-Shen: Kyo!
Kyo: Wants to finish us off, huh?
Kyo: Let's see what kinda trick he pulls out of his hat this time.
A.I.: Warning! A number of enemy holonic spears, configurating.
Kyo: You've gotta be kidding me!
Kaminagi: Kyo!
Shima: I see...
Shima: So, you're...
Shima: here at last.
Shima: Take care of the rest,
Shima: my friend.
Lemures: Sir!
Kyo: Let the spears hit us, Lu-shen!
Lu-Shen: Didn't you say nobody was dying today?
Kyo: No, I said you weren't!
Abyss: Now, die! KYO SOGORU!
Sin: They vanished!
Abyss: Did the lightless ones find a way to extinguish their own meta-bodies?
Sin: That's impossible.
Abyss: Even if they did, they must be dealt with.
Abyss: They're in here,
Abyss: hiding somewhere.
Sin: Leave it to me.
Kyo: Where are we, Ryoko?
Kaminagi: It looks like
Kaminagi: we're in a server somewhere.
Kyo: Lu-shen and May-yu.
Kyo: We were about to eat it out there and somebody saved us.
Kyo: But who?
Kaminagi: Kyo, look.
Kyo: Kaminagi, wait!
Kaminagi: Come on, let's follow it.
Kyo: Huh? Okay...
May-Yu: Hey, is that cat...
Lu-Shen: Is that actually waiting for the four of us?
May-Yu: What should we do?
May-Yu: Kyo is going after it.
Lu-Shen: In the end,
Lu-Shen: do I really live my life
Lu-Shen: according to my feelings
Lu-Shen: just like him...?
Lu-Shen: Have I lived only for the sake of the one I loved?
Kaminagi: Oh!
Kaminagi: Ah, so-sorry.
Kyo: Hey, no problem.
Kyo: I know what sounds good right now.
Kyo: Big ol' can of tuna.
Kaminagi: "Dolphin Safe,"
Kaminagi: right?
Kyo: If I gotta eat dolphin to get my tuna,
Kyo: so be it.
Kaminagi: Good to know.
Ricerca: Engines 3 and 2, off-line!
Ricerca: Lift power, dropping rapidly!
Ricerca: We're falling!
Lemures: We have to keep fighting until the very end!
Lemures: Every moment we endure is the victory against the Gardsorm.
Lemures: Let's show them what we've got.
Fosetta: I'm gonna miss getting to give the weather report every day.
Tarbo: I'd ask you about the forecast,
Tarbo: but I'm a little busy at the moment.
Lemures: Ricerca!
Lemures: Continue where Dita left off!
Ricerca: Aye, sir!
Ricerca: Now converting the Oceanus's remaining Q.L. to layered form!
Lemures: Then, so be it.
Sin: There are... 1,815 facilities in operation.
Abyss: Damn it,
Abyss: where'd they go?
Kyo: Are you not cold, are you, Kaminagi?
Kaminagi: Uh-uh.
Kyo: You okay, May-yu?
May-Yu: I'm fine.
Kyo: Lu-shen?
Lu-Shen: Yeah.
Kyo: Who's that?
Kaminagi: The commander...
Kyo: Wait then,
Kyo: that's really him?
Lu-Shen: Yeah.
Kyo: So that guy is Shima's original?
Lu-Shen: I've met him once before.
Lu-Shen: Back then
Lu-Shen: he was practically Naga's right-hand man.
Sin: What's in this one?
Abyss: Try visualizing it.
Abyss: It is an archival server of the Earth's nature data.
Abyss: Of the pet project of one researcher in particular.
Abyss: Naga allowed the man to pursue his private eccentricity.
Sin: Then I guess we can skip this one.
Abyss: Hold on!
Original Shima: Welcome, friends.
Original Shima: This is one of my collection servers.
Original Shima: One man's feeble attempt to preserve nature's legacy,
Original Shima: even if only as data.
Kaminagi: We've entered phase three of the operation.
May-Yu: I guess so.
Original Shima: I have something to show you
Original Shima: if you would follow me.
Original Shima: There was a time when I shared Naga's ideals.
Original Shima: Or rather,
Original Shima: I was a scientist
Original Shima: seduced
Original Shima: by his technical prowess.
Original Shima: And so,
Original Shima: I became the first volunteer for meta-body transfer.
Original Shima: Having shuffled off my mortal coil,
Original Shima: I meditated within the flow of infinite time.
Original Shima: Eventually, I began to question Naga's way of thinking.
Original Shima: Those doubts ran deep until they gave birth to the one you know as Shima.
Kyo: Then that cat...
Kyo: Are you telling us that Shima's dead?!
Original Shima: Death comes to us all.
Original Shima: All must part.
Kyo: What do you mean?!
Kyo: What's happened to the Oceanus?!
May-Yu: Are they all right?!
May-Yu: Is May-yen okay?!
Original Shima: The Cerebrants live.
Original Shima: They have fled to the Maihama server.
Kaminagi: But what about all the A.I.s?
Kyo: Where is the Maihama server?!
Original Shima: In a forgotten lab still under my control.
Original Shima: In other words, here.
Original Shima: The server we're in right now is kept in the same lab.
Original Shima: Now that the Oceanus has been lost,
Original Shima: it'll be impossible for you to take the resurrection system back with you.
Original Shima: You'll have to destroy the Gardsorm with your Zegas...
Original Shima: and then call for another Cerebrant career from Earth.
Kyo: Oh, sure, easy for you to say!
May-Yu: He's right.
May-Yu: We have no way of replenishing our Q.L.!
Original Shima: Don't you?
Original Shima: Some time ago, I sent the technique of Q.L. layering to the Oceanus.
Kaminagi: Q.L. compression.
Kaminagi: That's what you mean.
Original Shima: Indeed.
Original Shima: And as a result the Zegapain's operational time has grown exponentially.
Lu-Shen: Why didn't you get it to us sooner?!
Original Shima: It was originally developed for moving the Maihama server.
Original Shima: Thus the method was only perfected a short time ago.
Original Shima: I left it in the hands of A.I.s,
Original Shima: pray they can finish this final task.
Tarbo: A layered Q.L. will reach full compression in 4 minutes, 30 seconds!
Lemures: Just that alone!
Lemures: We have to hold out for that long.
Kyo: Come on then, we can't just sit in here!
Kyo: I'm going to my Zega!
Kyo: How do I find it?!
Original Shima: The Zegas aren't here.
Original Shima: They're outside.
Original Shima: However, please wait.
Kyo: Like hell I will!
Lemures: The Maihama server's here with us and it needs protection!
Kyo: Where's my Zega?!
Lu-Shen: Kyo...
Original Shima: Can't you hear it?
Original Shima: Listen closely.
Kaminagi: I hear water.
May-Yu: I wonder if there's a spring nearby.
Original Shima: Water is the source of all life.
Original Shima: It is born from the sea,
Original Shima: condenses into clouds,
Original Shima: falls as snow,
Original Shima: and finally rejoins the ocean from once it came.
Kyo: What the hell are you talking about?!
Original Shima: All form is emptiness.
Original Shima: All emptiness is form.
Kyo: You're busting out the Heart sutra?!
May-Yu: They've found us!
Lu-Shen: He's coming!
Lu-Shen: I'll take him.
Kyo: Wha...?
Lu-Shen: Go spread the word of what you've seen here.
Lu-Shen: Leave the defense of the Maihama server up to me.
Kyo: Why are you... Whoa, hey!
Lu-Shen: Everything you do is so honest.
Lu-Shen: You're so pure.
Lu-Shen: And that's what I love so much about you.
Kyo: So I just...
Kyo: got kissed by a guy, huh...
Kaminagi: Yep.
Abyss: Filthy traitor!
Lu-Shen: So, Kyo and the others are in this server.
May-Yu: Is that it,
May-Yu: the resurrection system?
Lu-Shen: Entwined with the Maihama server itself.
Lu-Shen: An appropriate coupling.
Lu-Shen: Anyway,
Lu-Shen: we can't let them touch this!
Lu-Shen: You with me on this,
Lu-Shen: May-yu?
May-Yu: Well, you know I'm gonna say "yes."
May-Yu: They've broken through the bulkhead.
May-Yu: Here they come!
Lu-Shen: Oceanus!
Lu-Shen: Can you give us some Q.L.?
Lemures: Can you handle a low-phase burst?
Lu-Shen: That'll do the trick!
A.I.: Q.L. charging, complete.
May-Yu: Charging, complete!
Lu-Shen: All right!
Lu-Shen: We'll protect the Maihama server, no matter what!
May-Yu: Mm!
May-Yu: I finally get it.
May-Yu: You really wanted to be just like Kyo.
May-Yu: That's it, isn't it?
Lu-Shen: Holo-Bolt Breaker!
May-Yu: Roger!
May-Yu: Holonic field, forming!
May-Yu: Holo-Bolt, physicalizing!
Kyo: They're coming!
Kyo: Hey, let's get moving!
Kyo: Come on, let's go!
Original Shima: Here it is.
Original Shima: Observe.
Kyo: Huh?
Kyo: All form is emptiness.
Kyo: Any thing that has color and form in this world is impermanent.
Kyo: All emptiness is form.
Kyo: But
Kyo: in that moment when things which used to exist are destroyed,
Kyo: a host of new colors come to life.
Original Shima: Right you are.
Kyo: You stopped me for this?!
Kyo: I should knock your Zen ass out!
Kyo: So, our lives are impermanent, huh?
Kyo: That still doesn't mean we're living for nothing!
Kyo: Isn't...
Kyo: isn't that the whole reason we fight?!
Original Shima: So, live for the moment...
Original Shima: Is that it?
Original Shima: The answer Naga couldn't understand.
May-Yu: Your dry damage...
May-Yu: and wet damage...
May-Yu: You're way beyond the maximum.
May-Yu: Lu-Shen!
May-Yu: Lu-Shen!
Lu-Shen: Thankful...
Lu-Shen: I'm thankful I get to feel this pain...
Lu-Shen: this honorable joy...
May-Yu: Lu-shen...
Lu-Shen: Maihama...
Lu-Shen: But no.
Lu-Shen: It's Kyo I'm defending right now.
Lu-Shen: We make a good team, you and I!
Lu-Shen: Don't you think so, Kyo?!
Lu-Shen: Wouldn't you agree?
Original Shima: It's because of the person you are that I wanted to show you.
Kyo: You're a real jackass, you know that?!
Original Shima: Zegapain...
Original Shima: Literally
Original Shima: "the great pain."
Original Shima: May you become
Original Shima: the first pure drop of the flood.
Original Shima: The rest,
Original Shima: I leave to you.
Fosetta: The Q.L. layering!
Fosetta: It's complete!
Tarbo: We did it!
Tarbo: We can resupply the Altair any moment we choose!
Lemures: You all did a hell of a job.
Lemures: Transfer Q.L. to the Altair!
Ricerca: Quantum loaded energy, direct transfer!
A.I.: Layered Q.L. charging, complete.
Kaminagi: No way!
Kaminagi: We're full of Q.L.!
Kaminagi: They did it, Kyo!
Kyo: Yeah!
Kyo: We've got all the Q.L. we need!
Kyo: The day has arrived when the peace Maihama enjoys will come to an end.
Kyo: I won't forgive them!
Kyo: I love this place so much.
Kyo: I can't forgive them for crushing the people who live there!
Kyo: Shizuno!
Kyo: While I defend the Maihama server, get us back to Earth!
Kyo: I have to do this.
Kyo: Even if it means saying goodbye to Kaminagi and everyone else.
Kyo: Next time, on Zegapain:
Kyo: Are the Skies of Maihama Blue?
Kyo: My pain, never to be forgotten.
