Seven Down

[Akasaka - Palace] [18:00]
You find your friends, who seem to be waiting for someone...

Ronaldo: You're here, Hiro. We were waiting for you.

> Sorry for the holdup.

Airi: Seriously! Anyways, it's time we took the fight to Benetnasch!

> You were?
> You got the wrong guy!

Joe: Sure hope we win this time. If we can beat that thing, aren't we almost there?

Ronaldo: Hmm... I know we secured his cooperation, but will things be okay with Trumpeter?

> We'll be fine.

Airi: I agree. But we can't take anything for certain, so we'll just have to try!

> I'm nervous too.

Otome: Mm-hm. I agree. That's how we've always done things. You never know until you try.

Ronaldo: Indeed. I just received word that Itabashi and even Nerima are no more...
Ronaldo: The Void is drawing closer and closer to our position. We must act fast.

> It's around the corner...
> We're in real trouble.

Airi: Yeah, we don't have any time to waste. Let's go, Hiro!

[The party arrives at the scene.]

Airi: There it is...! It's Benetnasch!

Joe: Wow, it's like it was sitting there, waiting for us. That's pretty damn freaky.

Ronaldo: ...Calm down. Don't worry; we have Trumpeter on our side.

[Trumpeter flies in.]

Airi: R-Right...! Trumpeter, we're counting on you!

Trumpeter: ...I will keep my vow. It is your wish that I sound my horn here, correct?

> Yes, please.
> You've got to do it!

Trumpeter: Very well. I will obey my pledge and grant thy wish here.

[Trumpeter begins to play, sending out sound saves.]

Otome: Something's changed...! I think we've succeed (sic) in counter-acting the special waves!

Ronaldo: So it would seem! But now comes the actual battle. We'll be unable to summon demons.

Airi: Mmhmm... Let's hurry! We need to summon our demons before the trumpet gets stronger!
Airi: Once the battle starts, we won't be able to summon any new demons, right?

> Yeah... It sucks.
> We'll have to be careful.

Ronaldo: Yeah... And here's one more thing to worry about:
Ronaldo: If the trumpet stops, the jamming will be interrupted as well.
Ronaldo: In other words... We have to protect Trumpeter while we're fighting.

Otome: I see... Then, we're going to have to be careful about our initial team setup.

[Battle start!]

[First turn.]
Joe: ...We can only use the demons we've got right now, huh? Well... We'll manage.
Jungo: ...You can't get rid of our demons anymore. I hope you're ready, Benetnasch.
Otome: Everyone, be careful! Even if it can't send our demons back, it's still powerful!

[After defeating the two Alkaid Buds.]
Benetnasch: Ψя... Ɵ❄, ○±£.

[Benetnasch summons more buds.]

Otome: Eeek...! Everyone, look out! We have to protect Trumpeter!

Benetnasch changed its form...!

[Once enough damage is dealt to Benetnasch, it splits into quarters.]
Joe: Yikes, what's this? Looks like it split up.
Joe: And... is that Megrez? And Alioth!? Oh boy, it's the other Septentriones, now...

[Some Alioth buds fall from the sky, spreading poison everywhere.]
Jungo: ...! This is the poison that Alioth used. We have to defeat it, before things get worse!

[After you defeat Benetnasch, Mission Complete!]

Ronaldo: W-We won... We really won.

> Yeah.
> We did it.

Jungo: Mm. I'm glad. Benetnasch was strong, but we were stronger.

Fumi: I didn't think it could split up like that. And it contained the other Septentriones? Intriguing.

Hinako: Ughhh, that was a nightmare. We'd never have made it if we were still fighting each other.

Airi: I'm glad we won... Just goes to show we gotta stick together. You guys thought so too, huh?

Hinako: Haha, yeah... I gotta give you that one, Airi.

Joe: Oh yeah, that was the seventh Septentrione. So does that mean Polaris' ordeal is...?

Ronaldo: I believe so, Assuming (sic) they really are based on the Big Dipper...
Ronaldo: The Void's progress makes me hope it was the last one, that's for sure.

Daichi: B-But... If that really was the last one, shouldn't the path to Polaris be open now?

Ronaldo: We should, yes... but I don't see anything unusual. What does this mean...? Hm!?

Io: Ah...! Look, Hiro...!

Anguished One: Hello, Shining One... It seems that you are well.

> Thanks to you.

Anguished One: I haven't done anything. It was your strength that defeated Benetnasch.

> Why are you here?

Anguished One: ...Because you have defeated Benetnasch. The limits of man's potential are truly uncharted.

Ronaldo: You must be Mr. Mysterious... Perfect timing.
Ronaldo: So okay, you said that if all Septentriones were defeated, the way to Polaris would open.
Ronaldo: Well, we did our part! We've defeated all of them! Now where is Polaris...?

Anguished One: Ronaldo Kuriki... I cannot answer that questions, alas. The time has not yet come.

Keita: The time hasn't come? Is it coming soon? Tell us, dammit!

Anguished One: Ah, yes. I came to tell you about that.
Anguished One: Polaris has decreed that the time will be tomorrow.
Anguished One: The path will be apparent to you. And one will be granted an audience with Polaris...

The man disappears...

Ronaldo: Ngh... He just up and vanished. What in the world is he?

Otome: The time will come tomorrow... That's what he said. I wonder what's going to happen.

Ronaldo: There's no knowing just yet. It's irritating, but we'll have to trust them.
Ronaldo: The Void's coming closer, but we'll have to wait it out. So listen, everyone...
Ronaldo: Now's the time to prepare to be at your best. You should be ready for whatever happens.

Hinako: Prepare ourselves, huh? Yeah, that's not a bad idea, Ronaldo.
Hinako: We need to be sure that no matter what happens, we don't have any regrets.

Ronaldo: All right, then, dismissed. Let's get ready to meet this Polaris...!

You say your farewells to everyone before leaving...
