Part 17: Entering Coordinate 136. Also, kitty.

Update 17:

There are things to be seen there. Svadhisthana. The Vanguards' base.

"Mick's plan is obvious.
Sera's safety is guaranteed, but we will be unable to move against our enemy.
For the moment, we can only prepare by increasing our combat abilities."
Yes, Gale is urging us to grind. Not really needed at the moment, what with the newgameplus abilities.
Too bad I won't have that on DDS2...




"Can you handle them, sir?"
Where the hell are the rookies coming from anyway?


"They are going to trap you by using Sera as a shield.
You should really stay here... But, I know you aren't going to listen."



"That chunky bastard!
If he does anything to Sera...
I'll tear out his heart and hang it from that damn citadel."
Glad to see that there are things that stay constant. Argilla is a pacifist, and Heat is a violent asshole. His obsession with Sera is kind of weird, though.



Time to move out. To the Solids' base!

"A second repetition seems superfluous, but so be it:
When circumstances change, so do intended destinations. There is no reason to remain here.
The Solids are fortified at the Citadel and coordinate 136. The Citadel is already clear.
Thusly, coordinate 136 remains. We must go now to coordinate 136. It is quite simple, really."




"Then coordinate 136 is our new destination. Let us proceed."


"You like this place that much? Why? Nothing here is worthwhile."


"That Citadel will be ours pretty soon...
So you just worry about getting Sera back."





Once again. This time, the Maribel's base.


"If Mick managed to defeat you, the Solids would become the strongest Tribe.
Should the Wolves of Brutes realize this fact, they will attempt to interfere.
This would only cause unnecessary complications.
We need to elminate the Solids as soon as possible."


"I don't care what that dumb sack of crap is planning.
We'll take her back by force."


"Serph... Do you think Sera will go along with Mick's plan?
Won't they lose their powers as well?"





And once more, this place.




"Who in the world is she?"
Someone important and unique, clearly.




"Supposedly, it's full of strange buildings, the likes of which we've never seen."



Guns?



"Geez, just trying to show my enemy a little mercy... whatever that is."
THis guy is clearly in denial of his newfound feelings. He just appears to be an asshole. He cares.




"She called it paradise...
Can such a world really exist?"


"Sera would never go with that ass bastard..."




Gale is inside the Temple.


Okay, time to get in this place.


That's... A castle?




She probably means it as in deja vu. First time on Coordinate 136, but feels like she knows the Building.
This is, coincidentally, the most important location. You'll see. Later. Much later.



"What is an "amusement park"?"




"Fun? I do not comprehend. We should proceed with caution..."




"Many old cities are buried underneath the Junkyard.
This appears to be one such city, though the style of architecture is unlike others I have seen.
There are no apparent uses for such an odd style. I do not comprehend."




"Lately, I have trouble understanding you.
The world seems to ignore logic, and people are acting irrationally."
Gale does not comprehend this place. It is the most important place.




Time to go in.


Time to go in. (Vimeo)
And for Cielo, time to go out (Youtube)




Cielo has been confined in the Embryon's base. For his own good, you see.
Since he gained emotion, he has acquired the ability to get bored out of his skull.


And.. .What?
The cat!
Wasn't the cat in Sahasrara?
THE CAT CAN GO THROUGH WALLS.


Aww



The cat wants out.




Cielo has a BRILLIANT idea!
And he looks extremely goofy.



Gale could. And would.




Cats can be very annoying when they want out/in.
Meowing, scratching, jumping.
It can get to be irritating.




Uh. Yes?




He is considering it!




CAT. TO FACE.
Ouch.






Cielo decides to follow the feline.





Also known as "the most important place"
Notice the Angels.


This is very relevant. PAY ATTENTION.



You shall pay attention.
If not, the cat will be angry.



What wonders wait for Serph and company inside the Castle?
