< Prev | Index | Next >


The Dragon


[Shinjuku - Govt. Plaza] [18:30]
Yamato, who seems to have been waiting ahead, approaches...

Yamato: Ah, Hiro. My end of the preparations are complete. Shall we begin?

> Yeah.
Yamato: All right... Then let's go. The others are ready for combat as well.

> What about the others?
Yamato: They're all ready to go. Shall we be off?

Yamato: Now... everyone's ready? Well, Nitta, come to the center of the plaza.

Io: Oh, okay...

Airi: Oh, wait... This place...

> I've seen it before.
> It's in the death clip.

Hinako: Yeah... This is the place from the death clip! There's no mistaking it...

Io: What...? Th-Then I'm going to die here...?

Yamato: ...What? Are you afraid? But it's too late, now.
Yamato: The Dragon Stream's seal has been broken, and Mizar is before us. We can't stop now.

Io: No... I'm okay. ...I'm going.

[Io walks to the centre of the plaza.]

Io: Uh, so... like this?

Yamato: Yes... Stay there during the ritual, no matter what. Move, and this will all be wasted.
Yamato: Hiro, and the rest of you, stay here and protect Nitta. All right?

> Okay.
Yamato: I have faith in you. ...May the gods of war be with you.

> What about you?
Yamato: I'm going to the underground circle to perform the ritual. May the war gods be with you.

[Yamato leaves.]

Daichi: Huh? Did he say war gods...?

> Yep.
Makoto: ...This is just a prediction, but...

> Something's odd.
Makoto: ...Yes, I agree.

Daichi: What...!? Do you know something, Makoto?

Makoto: Well... I haven't been told anything, but I have been with JP's longer than you guys.
Makoto: When Chief talks like that... It's likely this ritual is going to be very dangerous.

[A rumble!]

Io: Aaah!

[A bright light glows under Io's feet, and she starts floating.]

Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: It's me. Can you hear? I'm going to connect Nitta's energy to Lugh's, to open the stream.
Yamato: You probably already know this, but the overflowing power will attract demons.
Yamato: You'll have to protect Nitta until the ritual is completed, no matter what happens.
Yamato: That's it.

[Demons start spawning.]

Daichi: Ugh...! So that's what he meant!

Joe: Don't tell me you weren't expecting this. We've got to suck it up and deal with it.

Keita: Hmph... I was just getting bored, anyway. I'll take them all on!

Jungo: Mhm... It's just like every other time. I'm going to defeat those demons...!

[Battle Start!]

[Io's turn. Energy spikes and damages her.]
Io: Aaaaaahhh!

Hinako: I-Io!? Wh-What should I do...? Io's in pain...
Joe: Oh, no... Io? This is bad... She's in pain.

Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: ...Can you hear me? The burden of the ritual will cause harm to Nitta.
Yamato: You must be aware of her condition and heal her when you can.

[After defeating some demons.]
Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: She is approximately 20% synchronized with Lugh. We need more time.

[More demons appear.]

Hinako: What the hell, stupid demons! Are they going after Io!?
Joe: Eeeesh, reinforcements. Are they going after Io...?

[After defeating more demons.]
Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: She's currently 40% synchronized with Lugh. Bear with me.

[More demons appear.]

Otome: ...They're here again! I won't let you get near Io!

[If Io gets attacked.]
Io: Nggggh!

Yamato: ...Nitta is getting attacked by demons. You must be careful.

[After defeating even more demons.]
Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: She's at 60% synchronicity with Lugh. Good, keep doing what you're doing.

[More demons spawn.]

Keita: Ugh... They must sure like this. Well, come and get your beatings!
Otome: No...! Everyone, we've got to keep Io safe, no matter what!

[After defeating almost all the demons.]
Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: She is 80% synchronized with Lugh. We're nearly there.

[More demons appear.]

Kudlak: I smell power! I must have some!

Hinako: S-Something came out! It doesn't feel like those weak demons... Careful!
Io: That demon is... different from the others. Let's be careful as we fight it!

[After defeating all the demons, Mission Complete!]

Daichi: Yes...! We kept Io safe! So, now what...?

[The area rumbles...]

Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: Can you all hear me? Pull out from the area. I repeat, pull out. Retreat.

Daichi: What...!? But... why? Io is...

[Energy and the fragments of Lugh gather around Io, and lights sparking within her.]

Io: ...! This is... Lugh!? His power is... overwhelming!
Io: With this... I can do this!

[A massive magic glyph appears on the ground.]

Makoto: Oh...! E-Everyone, retreat!

[As the party flees the area, Io floats high into the air, rising above most buildings. Channelling a powerful, fiery spear of energy, she throws it down into the glyph. Meanwhile, at the underground magic circle, a beam of light from the above ground glyph hits the centre of the circle... And from there, a streak of flame, the Dragon Stream, bursts forth, tearing across the sky towards Mizar. Snatching the Septentrione in its jaws, the Dragon crashes into a skyscraper, its body wrapping around the building as it tries to crush Mizar in its jaws. Her job done, Io slowly floats down to the ground...]

Jungo: ...! Mizar's clinging to the dragon... Can it swallow Mizar like this...?

Your cell phone rings...

Yamato: It's me... Can you hear me, Hiro?

> Loud and clear.
Yamato: Good to hear. The Dragon Stream has turned into a dragon to capture Mizar.

> What do we do now?
Yamato: Haha, don't be so hasty. The Dragon Stream has turned into a dragon to capture Mizar.

Yamato: Mizar is clinging to a building. You must climb it and rip off its tentacles.
Yamato: We're not in any particular hurry, but the Dragon Stream's time in this form is limited.
Yamato: Hiro... Find the right moment to head to that building and finish Mizar.

[Yamato hangs up.]

Keita: Hmph... Now's the time! I've had enough of being underestimated...

Makoto: Nitta... Nitta! Hang in there. Wake up!

> Don't tell me.
> What's the matter?

Daichi: Oh... Hiro... Io isn't... w-waking up... She's...

Joe: Haha... No way! This is just a joke, right? Io? Right?

Makoto: Nitta...! Wake up, Nitta! Wake up!

> Io!
> Wake up!

Io: Mm...

Daichi: Io...!

Airi: Io...!

Io: Huh...? Everyone? So I...

Daichi: She's... She's alive... Yes... Hiro, Io's alive!

> Of course she is.
> Keep it down!

Io: Hiro... Um... Thank you.
Io: ...I heard you... calling my name... Thank you.

> It's okay.
Io: Yeah... Thanks.

> Welcome back.
Io: Oh... I'm back... Thanks.


After celebrating Io's return for a while, you all leave the area...
