10x15 - Making a Dull World Interesting

[bunniefuu]

Watch the Silver Soul arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from the TV!!!

Didn't you find it strange?

I've destroyed the ley lines and Altana gates of so many planets, so why wasn't I doing the same to Earth?

Was I showing mercy to my homeland?

Was it just out of a whim?

No.

I saved it for a special moment...

For you all.

Chief!

Detecting a high-energy reading on Earth's surface!

What's going on?!

This is almost like...

A repeat of that time!

Altana gone berserk?

Only the Tendoshu could cause something like this!

They're wrong.

The Tendoshu are long gone already.

Then who could it be?

What if they're the same?

What if the destruction of our homeland and Earth were caused by the same person, who's still down there?[/.

Who their real enemy is.

The long, long night will end soon.

There is no need to feel sorrow.

Nor is there a need to suffer.

Because nothing will remain to prove that you ever lived.

But I'm gonna leave a mark, Utsuro.

I'm gonna cling to this life so hard, I'll leave bite marks!

Katakuriko, will everyone...

will all of Edo's people be all right?

Take the princess to a safe place.

Katakuriko!

Where, exactly, is this "safe place" you speak of?

Why not tell her the truth?

Tell her that even the ground we stand on right now could blow up at any time.

I can understand wanting everyone else to be safe, but being too greedy will only bring you pain in the long run.

Hmph!

Did you have to be so blunt?

The guys up there are fighting with all they've got.

What is it that we can do right now?

Sadaharu.

Take care of Nobutas and Soyo-chan, okay?

No!

There has to be something only you can do.

Doesn't matter what it is.

We all have to do what only we can, the best we can.

When those things add up, we can save anything, even Earth.

Isn't that right, Sadaharu?

The Altana went out of control?

What's that mean, Senpai?

They're trying to fire that massive amount of energy at the Flame of Kagutsuchi.

If they do, even this galaxy could be in danger.

On top of stopping the Flame of Kagutsuchi...

...we must also stop the Altana from rampaging?

What?

Unauthorized Call Yo!

You still alive, Kiheitai guys?!

Sorry to keep ya waiting.

Now all the villains are in one place.

Ain't that right, Liberation Army of Justice?

Shokaku.

Do your job before you run off to go play pirate.

For a pirate, you sure do take work seriously!

I'm sorry to say I can't stand that other guy.[/

I'm not your leader, you idiots.

I'm not babysitting a monkey, much less escorting a freak who doesn't even have a body.

Hear that, Hankai?

Bato...

It was Earthlings who took my body from me.

And you ask me to help them?

Help my mortal enemies?

Precisely.

You're capable of infiltrating the ship's system and controlling the Flame of Kagutsuchi from the inside.

I've seen several signs of attempted break-ins already.

But they've all been repelled by the security system.

I suppose that's as far as Earthlings can go.

Well, yes, given this is the thirteenth time I'm giving you this speech.

Thanks to the twelve copies of you that my friends have released, the firewall is gradually starting to come undone.

Your mortal enemy is that very ship.

Twelve of you have fallen on this quest.

Avenge their deaths.

All of Earth's energy is gathering in one place.

P-Prince...

Cut off energy supply to everything but the vital systems.

Reroute it all to the Flame of Kagutsuchi's charging process and accelerate its f*ring.

B-But, Prince, many of our men are still engaging the enemy all over the place!

Hey, how many more copies will we need to destroy that w*apon?

No amount is enough.

The security system has countless firewalls layered upon each other.

But no matter how many walls stand in our way, they can surely overcome them all.

I've got the headbutts to take out any enemy I can see.

So my job is to escort after all?

That said, piloting us all to hell doesn't sound too bad.

Shokaku-san, Bato-san.

When it comes down to it, you're both hard workers, huh?

I can't see a thing.

Bato.

Hey, what's wrong?

Bato?

Call One Call Two Shokaku-san!

Bato-san!

Don't tell me...

Destroy all sectors with enemies inside at once.

Run away!

Wh-What have they done?

Hankai-dono.

How long until the Flame of Kagutsuchi is fired now?

Around fifteen minutes, I'd say.

Is there a way to stall it?

Link up with those outside and have them destroy the energy circuits.

But even that will only provide a brief respite.

T-Takechi-sama!

The Liberation Army's entire fleet is headed this way!

Fifteen minutes will do.

Keep the enemy pinned down for that long, and it'll be over.

All of it.

Takechi, do you hear me?

We've been separated from the unit.

Regrouping will be difficult.

So we're going to go ahead and charge onto the bridge.

Shinsuke-dono.

Only fifteen minutes remain before the Flame of Kagutsuchi fires.

However, I'll extend that to thirty.

In that time, destroy the energy circuits.

Can you get me a small ship?

What are you thinking, Takechi-senpai?

Senpai!

Why won't you draw your sword?

Because I know...

That we could turn the world on its head, but we could never defeat you, Takasugi Shinsuke.

It seems you're smarter than these bodies on the ground, at least.

But then, why did you come here?

They have misused their authority and oppressed anyone they didn't like.

They were criminals who had to be brought to justice.

That's why.

If you don't like how I used you, go ahead and k*ll me.

I've gone and learned that this world is hopelessly boring.

If this act of yours was based on your judgment of my character, I'm impressed.

I almost want you as a strategist.

P-Please wait!

You're not wise or anything.

Just quick to give up.

If you keep running around pretending to be smart, you're running away from the unexpected.

You mean to say this country can be defeated if I keep fighting?

Beats me.

But in order to live in this dull-ass world, you've got to believe in a miracle or two.

I trust you're aware of our objective.

Just fifteen minutes.

That might not be just reward for a do-or-die mission.

But within those fifteen minutes lies a chance to cause a miracle.

Please, give me the last fifteen minutes of your lives!

If you're going to be k*lled by the country anyway, why not die for me, Manslayer Bansai?

Let me ask you: what will you die for?

I won't die.

No matter how many corpses I have to walk over, until I trample this country, I refuse to die.

That must be the Flame of Kagutsuchi's central command.

Run!

No matter how many corpses you have to walk over, you won't die until you fulfill your goal.

You're the one who said that.

Run, Shinsuke.

What are you saying, Senpai?!

Worry not.

I'll fight alongside you all until the very end, too.

Fire!

What's the matter?

Dance for me.

K-k*ll them!

Heroes are such sinful beings.

They never look back and charge straight forward.

That is why people can chase after their backs and move forward.

But I understand that you knew the pain and sorrow of walking over a corpse more than anyone, but you still had to grit your teeth and keep moving forward.

I understand that you're just one weak man.

But even so...

Don't look back!

Don't look back...

Keep your eyes forward, Shinsuke!

Fire!

Shinsuke, it isn't yet time for you to look back.

This world can't afford to lose you just yet.

Bansai-senpai!

Get going, Shinsuke.

I promise to catch up later.

Bansai...

Worry not.

Isn't this how we have always been?

The Kiheitai is a group that's constantly chasing after your back!

No matter where you are, I will catch up for sure.

The Flame of Kagutsuchi's energy is over percent charged!

Five minutes to fire!

They're finally ending, huh?

Both our crusade and that planet?

Detecting irregularity in the energy supply system!

It's not responding!

Did we route too much energy through it?

No, this is...

The stage is set.

But you might have a hard time getting here.

I'm perfectly aware.

Even if this ship burns to ash, I'm prepared to use that flame to stop the enemy.

Ah, I see.

One last exercise in futility, eh?

No way...

Took you long enough.

Clear Nose Or perhaps I was the one who made you wait.

We walked over your corpses to get here.

So if you're here to pick me up, I can't exactly shoo you away.

I didn't come to pick you up, nor was I waiting for you.

We chase after that man until our bodies burn out.

Isn't that who we Kiheitai are?

H-He's still trying to stand?

What more can he do all alone?

I'm not alone.

Shinsuke, the Kiheitai live on alongside you. Fire!

Two minutes until the Flame of Kagutsuchi can be fired!

We're through!

Now we just have to destroy that equipment!

It seems the ship couldn't handle it.

We still have amm*nit*on.

One last sh*t!

Cease fire!

He's still standing after all that concentrated fire?

No, that man is already...

Why did he do this?

Shinsuke...

Make a miracle happen.

One minute until Flame of Kagutsuchi fires!

Shinsuke-sama...

What happened?

The squad engaging the enemy has been wiped out!

Put out the fire at once!

Fortify Gate Three's defenses!

Don't let anyone near the control unit!

Silver Soul Arc Making a Dull World Interesting Silver Soul Arc No need to let them know.

Do Something Uncharacteristic, and Something Uncharacteristic Will Happen Cruelty reigns on the b*ttlefield, with one tragedy after another.

Wring out every last ounce of energy to put an end to it all!
