[tense music plays]
Uh, hey, don't tell me
they all escaped already.
Gotta be at least an arm lying around.
[Harbinger] Looks like
they were a step ahead of us.
Look.
Huh?
- [Harbinger] It's a Pegasus.
- Like some kind of code?
[Harbinger] It symbolizes
freedom and success.
Can you please stop saying
weird shit all the time, Grandpa?!
[soldier] Bravo here.
We found an escape route to the hangar.
- We're in pursuit!
- Roger.
Come on. We're done here.
We can't let them interfere with the
operation by jumping all over the place.
[Harbinger] Got it.
[tense music continues]
[dramatic music plays]
[music stops]
[electricity crackles]
[eerie music plays]
[music fades]
[gurgling]
[groans] These were five times
more powerful than usual.
Damn you, Bob Skylum.
Agarum wasn't enough for you.
Now you have to destroy Copernicus City?
What is your endgame? [snarls]
[tense music plays]
[Wise cackles]
I wish I could see the frustrated look
on Commander Clemenza's face!
Well, let's up the ante, shall we? Fire!
[dramatic music plays]
Oh no, it's already started.
This can't be good.
The road's blocked
by one of the downed ships.
[dramatic music continues]
[Dahlia] Captain.
Any advice on how we should proceed?
There's no time
to wait for HQ's instructions.
- We'll leave Rhys to Georg--
- [Nyjer] Captain, straight ahead!
[Inanna] Is that
It can't be!
Novice Harbinger.
You'll pay for taking Rhys!
I'm gonna run you over like a dog!
[Lewis yells]
[tense music plays]
[Nyjer strains]
[engine revs]
This can't be!
You're not going anywhere.
Just give up!
It's the end of the road for you guys.
[music fades]
[door slides open]
- [gasps]
- [door slides shut]
It's you two?
Long time no see, Rhys!
I'll have you out of here in a jiffy.
Don't you worry.
[Wise laughs]
L-Zone is our not so secret weapon.
We won't let you get in the way!
[laughs maniacally]
I'm so nervous.
You're taking on a lot with this job.
I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.
I've already made up my mind.
Right now, I'm honestly
more worried about those two.
What's going on? Tell me.
Come on, Phil.
I can't stop thinking about it.
Why on earth
would Sapientia send us your girlfriend?
[Jack] I don't follow.
If her only mission is to kill Skylum,
why target her, Mary?
There has to be another reason.
[tense music plays]
Rhys would only deviate from the plan
to benefit Sapientia.
It's the L-Zone!
It has to be.
Just like us, they must be planning
to use the L-Zone for something.
I don't know how they'll do it,
but they will come after us.
[beeping]
I really impress myself.
It's good to see you again.
You've got some nerve
showing up here, traitors.
[sputters] Are you serious?
I believe the words you're looking for
are "thank you!"
Why? It's not like
I ever needed you to save me.
What are you
[groans]
[tense music continues]
[Georg] Sorry. It took me
longer than expected.
[gasps]
[Zowan] Georg?
[Zowan whimpers]
[body thuds]
[tense music continues]
- [Georg] Are you okay?
- [Rhys] Yes. No problems.
At last. We're finally here.
[music fades]
So I finally found you.
Mother.
[Mother] One of Sapientia's envoys, correct?
What a shame.
Just as we'd made
a final agreement with him.
Well, that too is over.
[Mother] Sapientia's justice
is so easy and simple to understand.
[Rhys grunts]
[electricity crackles]
[Mother roars]
[electricity crackles]
[tense music plays]
[music fades]
[Rhys] Now, it's time
for the tables to turn.
[tense music plays]
[dramatic music plays]
What the hell is happening?!
[Jack gasps]
What the heck is going on?
What the hell? [gasps]
[soldiers groans]
Huh? What in the hell
are you idiots trying to do?!
[dramatic music continues]
[gasps]
[groans]
What? Why haven't you been evacuated?
Because where do we go?
This is the only place we call home.
[girl] A bunch of adults stayed here too.
Oh no!
[grunts]
[yells]
[Harbinger] Don't get in our way!
- [Windy] There's civilians left behind!
- Huh?
[Windy] Lead them to safety underground.
The target unit can wait a bit longer.
Get moving!
Until next time, four eyes.
[dramatic music continues]
[children panting]
[Windy] Not today!
Why is any of this happening?
- [grunts]
- [Salamandra] Phil, we're launching.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah.
Just confused.
Never expected them to steal SEED3 tech
with Whiz-B on our side.
- Let's hurry. And head toward L-Zone.
- [grunts]
[music stops]
Aren't you being
just a little too aggressive,
Rhys?
[gasps]
Wait, you're
And those clothes are
[gasps]
[Jack] Georg.
[Phil] So we meet again.
Tell me what you did to the SEED3 Mother.
[Rhys] We don't owe you any explanations.
Besides, now I see what's really going on.
So, Jack, hand Mary over!
Bring her or we'll retrieve her by force.
[suspenseful music plays]
After you, Rhys.
[Rhys grunts]
Wait! Rhys!
[Phil] Jack! [grunts]
Where's that right arm
you're so proud of now?
You're not going anywhere.
[suspenseful music continues]
[operator] We'll leave
Copernicus City momentarily.
All units, stand by for gravity shift.
- [rumbling]
- [gasps]
[suspenseful music builds]
[Salamandra gasps]
Rhys, stop!
[suspenseful music continues]
Oh. [grunts]
[Jack grunts]
Son of a bitch!
It's just one thing after another.
Get out of my way!
[music fades]
[Whiz-B beeps]
[gasps]
[Mary] Rhys!
Mary. This isn't personal.
Uh
[grunts]
[somber music plays]
- [gasps]
- [bullets ricochet]
Rhys, please! Stop!
I can't.
[Mary grunts]
No, no, Whiz-B. Wait!
[grunts]
[music stops]
It's over, Rhys!
Jack?
[gasps]
[Mary groans]
[Jack grunts]
[screams]
How can there still be
this many civilians?
And why are those damn robots
attacking the people of the Moon?
They're out of control
with no end in sight!
Is this the Moon Chains
showing their true colors?
No. Even if it were the Moon Chains,
it's unthinkable they'd attack civilians.
Agreed. Besides
[somber music plays]
[sighs]
[grunts]
[Windy] Gramps!
[tense music plays]
Old fart.
This is Sapientia's handiwork, right?
[Harbinger] Yeah.
That cursed thing's gonna get us killed.
Huh?
[dramatic music plays]
What do you think you're doing?
[Osma] My job. Which is to capture you.
[Windy] Then why the hell
are you saving us?!
[Osma] Because I can't ignore
what's going on.
Both as a soldier,
and as a warrior.
[somber music plays]
Even if we are reluctant.
- [Windy growls]
- [Harbinger] All of you.
How could we not help
after seeing all of this?
Feels like something
we weren't supposed to see.
[Lewis] Hey! Where is Rhys? Is she safe?
It looks like they got a few screws loose.
What a bunch of amateurs.
Hey, you weirdos!
This is Sapientia's fine hacking job!
You get it?
[all gasp]
I-It can't be. That's not
That's not possible.
[Zowan] Well, kind of seems
like that's the case.
Zowan!
[gasps]
[device beeps]
[music fades]
[Salamandra groans]
We have to complete the mission.
[groans]
[groans quietly]
[sighs]
[gasps]
[Whiz-B beeps]
[beeping fades]
[tense music plays]
Mary!
[Jack groans]
[music fades]
Don't move.
Georg!
[Zowan] Inanna, it's been a minute.
[cries]
Sis! What have you been doing
for the last year?
[chuckles] I'll explain everything
when I see you.
More importantly,
we need to talk about Sapientia.
- [Inanna] What's going on?
- I'm sure you already know, right?
So, even when Sapientia's recommendations
are beneficial for humanity,
if you can't protect what matters most,
if you can't protect
your friends or family,
then what's the point?
[somber music plays]
That's what he would say.
[Georg] This is
what Sapientia has decided.
[Jack] Stop it! Please!
[gasps]
[breathes heavily]
[groans]
[inhales sharply]
This is bad. In that condition,
Whiz-B can't protect Mary.
[cries]
[cries]
[gasps] Rhys!
[Mary cries]
[Jack] You don't wanna do this!
[cries]
[Rhys] My whole life,
I've always obeyed Sapientia's orders.
Yet, I wonder
[somber music continues]
[Mary whimpers]
Huh?
Why did you do this to me, Jack?
[Mary whimpers]
You ran off without an explanation
and left me.
Because
[Rhys] This time for sure,
I won't hesitate.
[music stops]
I have to do what Sapientia commands.
[inaudible]
My name is Mary.
Nice to meet you!
[breathes heavily] I
I can't pull the trigger. [cries]
Even with Sapientia's orders,
I can't shoot her.
[cries] Jack, I'm so
[gentle music plays]
[gasps]
[dramatic music plays]
Oh no!
An Engrave?
[screams]
No. No!
[Rhys strains]
[screams]
[strains] No!
[Rhys strains]
[whimpers]
I don't want to! No!
[music fades]
Rhys, no!
No!
[gunshot]
[gentle ballad plays]
[music fades]
