Altessa: …ugh…
>
Raine: Altessa-san…
Altessa: Tabatha!
>
Collette: Lloyd, are you okay?
Lloyd: …yeah.
>
But Kratos…
Yuan: Don’t bother.
>
Yuan: Yggdrasil took him back with him… Kratos is fine.
Lloyd: …Yuan.
>
What about you?
Yuan: Yes. Our plan fell apart, but…
>
Lloyd: Just what exactly did you hope to accomplish?
Going so far as trying to kill Kratos.

Page 3
Lloyd: What is “Origin’s seal” exactly?
Did you think, “Oh, let’s make a pact with Origin and use the Eternal Sword”?
Yuan: …Yeah.
>
If we destroyed that threatening tower,

The thousand year established kingdom would end, and there would be a great ripening anew.
>
That was our plan.

Because of a Desian contact, Lloyd… we knew of your existence. We decided to use you as leverage.
>
[thousand year kingdom…?]
[a great ripening…?]
Lloyd: … Kratos is the only one able to undo Orign’s seal?
>
Yuan: … The seal can only be undone by mana released from that guy.

Page 4
Lloyd: Released mana?
Regal: If that happens, he’ll lose his life!
>
Lloyd: wha…
>
Yuan: ---That’s right.
It’s a seal made with his life.
>
Lloyd: …Kratos’ life…

Page 5
Lloyd: You’re saying the Eternal Sword comes in exchange for Kratos’ life…!?
Yuan: …
>
Lloyd: Wa..wait, Yuan!
Being with Cruxis, why don’t you approve of Yggdrasil!?
>
Haven’t you been friends for 4000 years!
Yuan: That was Martel’s twisted will, and this is the result.
It was not her true wish.
>
Collette: … Martel-sama wanted…?
>
Yuan: She wanted a world without discrimination. That’s what she said.

Page 6
Yuan: There’s no time.
I have to evacuate the renegades before Yggdrasil wipes them out…
>
Lloyd: …Yuan…
>
Raine: ---It’s no good!
I’ve healed the outside, but the internal damage…!

It’s dangerous at this rate.
>
Altessa-san!
Hang on, you two!!
>
Is there no doctor around!?
Sheena: There’s a good-armed doctor out there… it’s a little far.

Page 7
Raine: It’s no use, we’ll stay here and you take two with you.

Bring that doctor back for us!
>
Sheena: …Even on the Rheiards, round trip it would take a day. During that time will you be all right?
Raine: …We have to see.
>
Sheena:---All right. Everyone! Let’s go!
We’re gong to the way northeast town---
>
Flanoir!

Page 8
Sheena: Please hurry! This is a seriously injured patient!
Doctor: Goodness sakes… there’s going to be a special emergency fee, you know.
Sheena: If it’s money we’ll pay anything!
>
Presea: I wonder if it will be alright.
Lloyd: ---Huh
>
Where’s Zelos?
Collette: Zelos? Now that you mention it, I haven’t seen him since we entered the town.
>
Sheena: That stupid Miko! What’s he doing at such a time!
Lloyd: I’ll go look!

Page 9
Regal: …Wait. That’ll waste time.
How about splitting up?
>
Sheena: That’s it. Lloyd, go look for that idiot, and we’ll come back here tomorrow.
Lloyd: Okay.
>
Sheena: Collette can stay too.
Stay close to Lloyd.
Collette: Ri..right.
>
Lloyd: Night flying can be dangerous, so take care everyone!
Sheena: It’s all right! We’ll have Luna and Aska to light the way!
>
Collette: … it’s a totally different climate from Iselia.

Page 10
Collette: This is the first time I’ve seen so much snow.
>
Look! You can look out over the town of Flanoir.
It’s so pretty.
>
Lloyd: … yeah.
>
Collette: So..sorry. Going on and on at a time like this. Because my feeling came back, I can feel cold and cool, and I’m really happy…
Lloyd: Is that so? Up until a little while ago you couldn’t feel anything, huh?
>
Collette: …Lloyd.
Lloyd: Sorry for bringing up bad things, even about Origin’s seal…

Page 11
Lloyd: However much you become an angel, if you release your mana, you’ll die…
Collette: Umm, That’s why
>
Just like you saved me, let’s find a way to save Kratos-san so he won’t die.
I’m sure everyone will understand!
>
Collette: Right? Let’s do that!
Lloyd: I don’t get it anymore.
>
That he’s my father…
>
That a guy, who betrayed us and made us suffer, … would suddenly say something like that.
… And now, he might die.
>
… What should I believe…?

Page 12
Collette: Don’t say that, Lloyd.
When I first started the angel transformation, you said it.
>
You said, “Even turning into an angel, Collette is still Collette.”
>
Even if Kratos-san is your father, whatever you were born as,
Lloyd is still Lloyd.
>
Don’t lose sight of who you are.
>
Lloyd: I’m …myself…?
Collette: Besides, didn’t Kratos-san help you? Up until now, lots of times.
>
He’s been a wonderful father, right?

Page 13
Lloyd: …Still, I can’t call him “dad”

Why is he still in Cruxis following Mithos? Until I know his reasons,
>
I suppose Kratos has his own idea, and is following Mithos. I want to try and ask.
>
And everything after that.
Collette: …Lloyd…
>
Lloyd: Thanks, Collette. …I feel a little better now.
>
Collette: That’s good.

Page 14
Lloyd: DA----!! My head gets tired if I’m unusually troubled!

When bad things were troubling, I wasn’t myself!!
AHAHA
>
--- I definitely can’t agree with Mithos’ idea.
That’s why I’ll stop him.
>
Once I hear of Altessa-san’s condition, I’ll go--- to fight Mithos.
Collette: Right. … I don’t want to have this nice view devastated anymore.
>
I’m sure it’ll be fi …. Achoo-
Achoo…
>
Lloyd: Are you cold?
Collette: Yeah, it seems so~
Lloyd: *She looks pretty happy…
>
It won’t e good if you catch a cold. Collette, go ahead and check in at the inn.
Collette: What about you?

Page 15
I’ll stay here a little longer… to clear my head, and look around for Zelos,
>
Collette: …Okay.
>
Be sure to you come back before you catch a cold too. I’ll make something warm for you to drink when you get there.
Lloyd: All right… thank you.

Page 16
Lloyd: Father…huh?
>
From all the times he’s helped me, the nostalgia was because he was my father,
I wonder…
>
[What do you plan to do by throwing away the Exsphere?]
[right now you need to shoulder those feelings.]
>
[That was]
>
[actually Kratos’ matter]
>
sfx: step
>
step

Page 17
Lloyd: …Collete?
What’s the---

Page 18
Zelos: Kratos…
>
…Ionitos(?イオニトス)…
Can I do it…
>
Collette: Oh
>
Zelos!
>
Zelos: Oh… oh, Collette-chan. What’s up?
Colette: What’s up yourself, Zelos? We looked for you, you know?

Page 19
Zelos: Oh--- My bad. … I’m not exactly fond of snow.
Colette: Really?
>
Still, we would’ve liked you to had said something. Everyone was worried.
Zelos: Sorry, sorry.
Sfx: Silly laugh
>
Colette: Hey, you know, everyone is out taking care of other things, but Lloyd is still here too.
>
Zelos: Right…. Where’d Lloyd-kun go?
Collette: He was with me a while ago… but he should still be at the lookout point.
>
Zelos: Hmmm…
Collette: I’m going ahead to the inn, so go on and meet Lloyd!

Page 20
Zelos: Collette-chan
>
Collette: Wha-at?
>
Zelos: Colette-chan, it’s not bad, is it?
The fact that you’re a Chosen one?
>
Colette: Why?
>
Zelos: “Why” she says… It’s your life isn’t it?
You never think you’d like to live how you want to?
>
Colette: …I am living freely.
And everyone looked for a way for me not to become a sacrifice.

Page 21
Because even if my body is taken, my heart is free.
So my heart wishes
>
For the world to be happy
>
Zelos: You’re amazing, Colette-chan.
>
No way I could imitate that.
Collette: Zelos?
>
Zelos: I’ll go meet Lloyd-kun.

Page 22
Lloyd: You’re injury… is it okay now?
>
Kratos: Yeah.
Lloyd: Did you know the whole time? That I… was your son?
>
Kratos: When I heard your name, I thought it could be possible.
It was confirmed when I found Anna’s grave at your house.
>
Lloyd: How did Mom die? You know, don’t you?

Page 23
Kratos:… Anna was used for research in the Angelus Project, to make Cruxis crystals inside her body.
>
Lloyd: … Mom was part of the same experiment as Presea.
Kratos: Mithos’ thousand-year reign was dependent on his inorganic body.
Knowing this, I opposed him, and descended to the ground.
>
Then I met Anna.
>
I met her, and realized that believing Mithos’ methods were a faster way to worldwide integration was wrong.

Using people’s bodies I had searched for a technique to use the Eternal Sword.
(私は人の身でエターナルソードを使える術を模索した)？

Page 24
Lloyd: In order to integrate the world?
Kratos: Yes.
>
… but Anna and I were pursued by Cruxis.
In that frequently changing world, you were eventually born and, but…
>
Finally Kvar found us.
>
Anna, with her exsphere removed, and not having a Key Crest, the mana in her body went out of control and she changed into a monster.

When it came to the point that it was going to devour you, Noishe protected you, and it also temporarily regained sanity.
>
Lloyd: ---Noishe did…?
Kratos: It was probably from that time on that Noishe became sensitive to monsters.
>
Lloyd: I get it… He really hates going to a place with monsters.

Page 25
Kratos: … Anna regained herself in that body.
>
Anna: Ple…ase, Krato..s

While I…while I still have consciousness

Kill Me.
Kratos: She begged me to kill her.
Anna: Kill me!
>
PLEASE!!
>
Lloyd: ……. uh.

Page 26
… That’s enough…
Kratos: Anna went rampaging again, targeting you. I….
Lloyd: That’s enough!
>
Kratos: I… killed Anna.
>
Lloyd: I said that’s enough!
>
Kratos: …afterwards

Page 27
Kvar attacked. You, Noishe, and the exphere slid from the cliff and fell.

Kvar and his troops retreated, and descended the cliff…
All that was left were desian corpses eaten and scattered around.
>
(It says “もう生きてはいまい” but I think it’s a typo- いない instead maybe?)
--- I no longer felt like I was alive.
>
Lloyd: So then you went back to Cruxis?
>
Kratos: Being Origin’s seal, if I was killed the seal would be undone. Yggdrasil probably was unable to let me go…
>
Lloyd: --- And you were okay with that!?
Even though you opposed his ways!!

Page 28
Kratos: Anything and everything became empty.
>
Mithos had said if he brought Martel back, the world would be integrated.

However his plan returned the ground to normal, that was fine.
>
---Lloyd.
That was until I met you.
>
Lloyd: … M
Me…?
>
Kratos: You… resemble Mithos.
Like you, Mithos desperately wanted to save the world. Without giving up, he faced forward even through hardship.

Page 29
Right until Martel was killed.
>
Lloyd: …Killed…
Kratos: Still… There is a decisive point where you differ.
>
Lloyd: … Race?
Kratos: No.
>
Lloyd, You know you can correct your mistakes.
>
With Colette, the world, and everything, you carry courage to stand and face anything without giving up.

…We couldn’t do that.
>
Not me.
>
Not Mithos.

Page 30
Kratos: We couldn’t correct our mistaken path. We couldn’t correct our error, so we gave up.

But you didn’t give up.
Lloyd: ----But!
>
You’ve realized it now.
You can correct your mistake!
>
It’s okay if you start now! Let’s search for a way so that when we release Origin’s seal…

That you don’t have to sacrifice yourself…
>
… Together…

Page 31
Kratos: --- There are still things I have to do. I can’t fight with you.
Lloyd: … things to do…
>
Until I entrust it to you…. Don’t get yourself killed
>
Lloyd: Kratos! Where are …. h.
>
Kratos: Don’t leave Yggdrasil alone.
He’s capable of sacrificing countless lives. Before Collette is taken…
Lloyd: Huh…?

Page 32
Lloyd: What…do you mean by that?
… His base is on top of the Tower of Salvation… in Welgaia.

Yggdrasil … no.
>
I’ll stop Mithos---
>
…Kratos…
>
…Yeah, I’ll stop him.
>
But…
Even then, I’ll still have to fight you.

Page 33
Kratos—

Page 34
Raine: Altessa-san’s condition…. Well for now it looks like he’s passed the worst of it.

He’s regained consciouosness… what’s more is we still don’t know about Tabatha.
>
Lloyd: Is it all right if we leave them like this?
Raine: Right now the doctor here and Sheena did a favor by taking them to the people of Mizuho so they could tend to them.
>
Lloyd: I see… that’s good.
>
--Everyone, please listen for a moment.
I’m thinking we should infiltrate Cruxis’ center.

Page 35
Genis: “Center” …. Do you plan to fight Mithos!?
Lloyd: Yeah.
>
Raine: Wait, Lloyd. This “center,” do you know where it is?
>
sfx: heart pound
Lloyd: Ah, well…. ahahaha.
Yuan mentioned it before, didn’t he?
Raine: ….Yes.
>
Lloyd: … Welgaia. He said to get to it from the Tower of Salvation.
That is where Cruxis’ center lies.
>
There are two objectives: Obstruct the thousand-year reign and
Release Origin’s seal.
>
Raine: --But Lloyd, If we release the seal, then Kratos will…
Lloyd: --- I know…. But it hasn’t been decided that he’ll absolutely die.

Page 36
I don’t know if he’s an ally or not, but we don’t have time to worry about it.
>
…Sorry, Genis.

I will fight Mithos.
>
Cruxis’ ways are wrong.
-- Up until now there have been many lives sacrificed.
>
We can’t allow there to be lives for the sole purpose of dying!
>
Presea: I also agree with Lloyd.
Genis: Presea…

Page 37
Presea: I don’t want to e any more victims of expheres like Alicia…. I’ll go too.
>
Regal: In order to unite the world.
>
Sheena: For everyone in Tethe’all and Sylverant!
>
Genis: That’s right
Even if there a friend… you have to tell them about they’re mistakes.
>
I’ll go… I’ll go and meet Mithos!
Lloyd: Right!
>
But, Lloyd, if you do get Origin’s pact, what are you going to do about the Eternal Sword?
Lloyd: Um…

Page 38
Zelos: You don’t need to worry about that.
>
Lloyd: …What are you saying, Zelos?
Zelos: Though I’m not a half-elf, don’t I use a magical sword?
>
It’s because I received a magical derivative from Tethe’alla’s new technology.

Meaning even though I’m human, I have elf blood too.
>
What do you think? Now we can make it work somehow.
>
Sheena: … Is there really such a technology?
Zelos: Sure is… wonder why, huh?
>
Lloyd: So… In that case this may be our last battle.

Page 39
Lloyd: Once you’re ready we’ll regroup here. ---And then depart.
>
---Zelos.
>
Zelos: Ohh… What is it, Lloyd-kun?
Lloyd: …Thanks.
>
Zelos: About what?
Lloyd: Huh? Weeeell… about telling us about that magical derivative stuff, you know.
>
… And for coming with us to the end.

At first you were just monitoring us, and weren’t very enthusiastic.

Page 40
So, coming with us was a little unexpected.
Zelos: Ah-- …well *haha
>
Aren’t I a comrade now, of this group?
Lloyd: … Oh
>
Of Course!
--- We’re counting on you, Zelos!
>
Zelos: Hey, What’re you saying~~~
Well, I do understand you would want to count on me though.
Sfx: whack whack
Lloyd: *it hurts
>
Zelos: When you planned to ride the mudboat, didn’t I say “leave it to me”
（泥船に乗ったつもりでどーんとまかせとけって）？
>
Lloyd: … wasn’t that a ship?
Zelos: Oh—Was it?

Page 41
Well, well, at any rate we should get going.

Ah, everyone seems to be finished with their arrangements.
Lloyd: Oh, it does.
>
Everyone!
>
Zelos: When entering the tower, if the chosen one doesn’t show qualification…

Page 42
Raine: Is this okay, Zelos?
There shouldn’t be any problem. This chosen crystal should make it open.
>
Sheena: Were you carrying that?
Zelos: Before we left Meltokyo I had my sister deposit it and returned to me.
>
Okidokie~
>
Genis: Wow- It opened! You really were a chosen one, huh, Zelos!
Zelos: What’s that supposed to mean?

Page 43
Lloyd: This side’s tower is the same, huh?
Regal: …What is this?
>
Presea: A mausoleum…?
Raine: The successive generations of failed chosen ones.
Zelos: … quite the spectacle now.
>
Lloyd: How should we go up from here?
Zelos: Here’s where I said to let me handle it.
I’ve got a good idea.
>
Colette, come here a sec.
Colette: …me?

Page 44
What is it?
Zelos: Never mind, just c’mere.
>
Lloyd: That pillar… looks just like the one I broke.
… no, it’s the same.
>
[Could it]
>
[be connected with Sylverant’s tower?]

Page 45
Colette: Ahhh
>
Lloyd: Colette!?
>
Colette: Lloyd!
>
Pronyma: --- Good work, Chosen One Zelos.
>
Lloyd: You….h

Page 46
Pronyma!!
>
Pronyma: Come, Colette.
>
Zelos: ---Alright
>
Lloyd: Colette!
>
Zelos!?

What’re doing!

Page 47
Zelos: You’re so annoying.
>
Coming events cast their shadows before them, or didn’t you know?
(寄らば大樹の陰)
>
What you all are doing is futile.

Page 48
Isn’t it great?

Colette-chan wanted to become a sacrifice, right?
>
Right, Colette-chan.
>
Colette: Zelos… you’re kidding, aren’t you!?
>
Lloyd: Zelos!
Sheena: You … you’re betraying us!?
>
Pronyma: To say that he betrayed you is laughable. From the beginning Zelos became your friend acting as our spy.
>
Isn’t that right, Zelos?

Page 49
Lloyd: Zelos… is this true.
Zelos: I’m the ally of the strong.
>
Renegades, Cruxis, and you all … I could get anything.
>
Sheena: You even took information from the renegades! You’re such a…
>
Zelos: Even though I’d had enough of it, I still thought it was a good place to be!

Thanks for all the kind praise~~ <3
>
Pronyma: In the end we promised Mithos a chosen of mana would be released, and it’s been set up.
Regal: …Can a chosen do something so despicable? To sell his companions…!!

Page 50
Zelos: --- That’s right, despicable.
>
Because of that title, it was not an easy life.

It’s a shame… The fact that they could transfer Celes’ chosen status to me.
>
Sorry.

That’s how it is.
>
Lloyd: That’s a lie.

Page 51
Didn’t you say you were one of us?
>
It’s because I didn’t believe, right?
>
Zelos: --- Ahh my, my.
Don’t get all hotheaded over this.
>
Pronyma-sama <3
Let’s leave these people and get going~~~<3
Lloyd: ……h

Page 52
Lloyd: You’re not going anywhere!
Sfx: clash!

Page 53
Lloyd: …Zelos…h
>
Zelos: …You have a duty as a guard, right?
>
Since we’re going to fight, let’s mean it!
>
Lloyd: Stop, Zelos!
I don’t want to fight you…

Page 54
Zelos: That kind of thinking…
>
Is naïve!
>
Lloyd: ugh…
>
Idiot!
>
Zelos: (spell)

Page 55
Grave!
Lloyd: argh-
>
It’s cutting…

Page 56
Sfx: fall
>
Lloyd: …Zelos…
>
Genis: Lloyd!
The angels are!
>
Zelos: Sorry to keep you waiting, Pronyma-sama~~<3 Let us be going

uh
Lloyd: Wa…wait!

Page 57
Colette: Lloyd…h
LLOYD!!
>
Lloyd: Colette!
Guh… dammit
>
ZELOS!!

[the end]

wow! that was really long~ XD
