[Shinsekai - Terminal] [12:00]
You arrive with Ronaldo and the others at the Terminal...

Ronaldo: Well, we're here... Let's get started!

> What do we do now?

Ronaldo: Ha... I'm not sure on the details, but we're powering up the Terminal, aren't we?

> Will this really work?

Ronaldo: Ha... who can say? But we've got no choice but to go through with this!

Airi: Oh, that reminds me. Where's the dragon, Hiro?

[Hiro shows Airi the dragon.]

Airi: ...It still weirds me out that something so huge shrank down like that on its own.

> It wasn't on its own.
> I willed it to happen.
Fumi: That's right, it didn't happen spontaneously. It responded to Hiro's will.
Fumi: The Dragon Stream was a pure cluster of potential that the Chief manifested physically.
Fumi: But if we define that potential as the Terminal, it'll be more powerful... That's my theory.

Airi: Whaaat? Is it really that simple...?

> It is!
> Let's try it out.

Airi: Wait, you agree!? O-Okay, fine. We'll give it a shot.

Ronaldo: All right... we're ready to go. It's all on you, Hiro!

> Gotcha!

(Conversation continues)

> Shrinky-shrinky!

Ronaldo: Wh-What!? This little dragon is that heavy...?
Ronaldo: Well, it must be done... We have to strengthen the Terminal!
> Gotcha!
> Shrinky-shrinky!

[Hiro activates the Terminal with the dragon, bathing the room in light. The Terminal rumbles, responding to the dragon's power.]

Ronaldo: It's coming... I can sense something's changing...!

[In a flash of bright light, the room changes, opening up into a larger platform.]

Fumi: ...! The entire room's changed... So this is what he was talking about...

[Anguished One floats in from the ceiling, landing on the floor beside the Terminal.]

Anguished One: Hello, Shining One. It seems the Terminal has been strengthened.

Ronaldo: Ha... Here you are, mystery man. We've done everything you said. When do we see Polaris?

Anguished One: Not yet. I believe I said that the last Septentrione must be defeated.

> Where is it?

Ronaldo: He's right. We can't defeat it unless it's appeared yet!

Anguished One: It will appear soon... Right before your very eyes.

> Anytime you're ready.

Ronaldo: What...? Now...!? Hiro, what do you mean?

Anguished One: Hah... You've figured it out, Shining One. It's as you expect.

Anguished One: ...Shining One, my name is Alcor.
Alcor: The companion star to Mizar, known as the Lifespan Star... last of the Septentriones.

Joe: "Alcor"...? So you're the last...

[Alcor begins to float skywards.]

Alcor: ...In the past, I doubted Septentriones' and Polaris' unified consciousness...
Alcor: That doubt eventually split me from them. After a long slumber, I was led to you.
Alcor: But... now that you have reached an answer, I will fulfill my Septentrione duty.

[Alcor transforms into his true form! ...A box in a box.]

Fumi: ...! Huh... Now that's a surprise. Is this you showing your true strength?

Alcor: This is my true form... I am Polaris's sword, here to assign you an ordeal.
Alcor: ...No more words are needed. I want to see your wills, as shown through your powers.

[Alcor floats down.]

Alcor: Now... come!

Ronaldo: Ngh... So that's how it is! He's the last Septentrione... What do we do, Hiro!?

> Let's do this!
> Let's get ready...

Airi: This doesn't make any sense at all!

Fumi: His duty as a Septentrione... That guy...

Otome: Alcor... Did he cooperate with us, knowing this would happen? But we've got to...!

Joe: Oh, man, this bloooooows. ...But I guess we've got to do it anyway.

[First turn.]
Alcor: Now... Here goes. How will you resist the inescapable fate of death?

[Upon attacking Alcor.]
Fumi: Alcor... The Faint One. The being awakened in Polaris' consciousness...
Hinako: Ngh...! Don't hold a grudge against us. We need to get through to Polaris!
Jungo: It's very sad... I had hopes that you were a friend... But I won't lose!
Ronaldo: Here goes...! I believe that defeating you will be our only means of repaying you...!

Alcor: You have truly grown strong. Your being releases a stronger light than I could imagine.
Alcor: Now... Defeat me. Defeat me and create the world you desire, Shining One!

[Before transforming into second form.]
Alcor: Ha... Just as I expected. But if that is your limit, the path to Polaris is still far.

Jungo: ...! His face changed! Does that make him Alcor...?

[Upon attacking in second from.]
Alcor: The path to Polaris will not open unless you defeat me. Now come at me with all you have!

[Before transforming back to normal.]
Alcor: It isn't over yet... I doubt this is all you have. Show me your true worth.

Otome: ...! He's changed to normal again! He's going to do that attack again!

[When Alcor summons more demons.]
Otome: No... He summoned demons, too!
Otome: If this keeps up... we're gonna lose! We have to hurry up and defeat Alcor!

[Upon defeating Alcor.]
Alcor: Ngh...! So this... is the power of possibility...

[Mission Complete!]

[Alcor returns to his human form, albeit lying on the ground, injured.]

Ronaldo: Hey...! Are you okay?

Alcor: ...I don't understand. Why are you looking so upset?
Alcor: The last Septentrione has been defeated. The path to Polaris will now be opened.

> We did it.

Ronaldo: True, but... I'm still not convinced. We didn't want to fight you.

> It's still sad.

Ronaldo: I agree... I can't convince myself we did the right thing. We didn't want to fight you.

Alcor: Ha... It's mysterious. I feel the same way...

[Alcor snaps his fingers and activates the Terminal. From teh centre, a beam of light shoots upwards, the cogs of the terminal begin to move.]

Hinako: Oh... The Terminal... Moved!
Joe: Whoa... The Terminal's been moved!

Alcor: Hiro Kageyama... and your comrades... Go. Polaris waits ahead.

[Alcor's body is destroyed and he disappears.]

Fumi: ...!
Otome: ...!

Ronaldo: Alcor...! Aaaaalcooooor...!

Airi: That guy... He wasn't really wasn't so bad at all...

Fumi: ...He was just like us humans, being led around by the nose by Polaris. It's rather ironic.

Ronaldo: ......

> Let's go.
> We can't waste this chance.

Ronaldo: Yeah, you're right. We've already lost so much... Let's hurry and end this.

Otome: Mm-hm... The end is drawing near, after all. We don't have time to mourn.

Joe: Alright... Then once everyone's up to it, let's go see Polaris.
Joe: Man, I'm hungry. Wonder if there are any instant noodles lying around...

Ronaldo: What are we going to do with you... But then, I guess that's what makes you reliable?
Ronaldo: ...Well, Hiro. You heard the man: let's all gather back here once we're prepared!

You leave the area with everyone...
