Episode CX: You Can Stop Now...

"Yeah, yeah, yeah... You all already know this crap. I guess I can recap this too, since I'm sure you lazy peons can't be bothered to go use that mush you call a brain to remember a damn thing. Anyway..."

"What the hell is going on here?! This shit is WEIRD!"
"Should we tell them?"
"Might as well."
"Very well. It all began 1300 years ago."
"Popola, we don't have all day to go through the history books. Look, let me handle this... Hey, Grimoire Weiss..."
"Mmmm?"
"PLOT!"

"Rrrrrrgh...my...mind... Gagghhh!"

"Twist time:"
"All of us, everyone standing in this room is not human."
"Yup. We're androids. You're soulless shells for the true humans... That would be the Shades... Shocker! Now before you all go update the wiki entries, let's fight!"
"Wait...what...huh!?"

"Sorry."
"Prime Directive Alpha Five says initiate Boss Battle Sequence if this information is revealed to Replicants."

Music: Song of the Ancients ~ Fate

"Repliwhat?! I don't even know what that MEANS!"
"Sorry..."
"The battle music has already begun. I'm afraid this is fate."

"I don't get ANY of this crap. But fighting I've always understood. Reasoning behind it...usually not so much. So eh...this is about par for the course..."
"Aaaaaaaah!!"

"I...I can't stop the bleeding. Oh god, I can't stop it!"
"We don't have souls, but our tears still work. Also our blood vessels and other bits that should be avoided by an angry, confused guy with a big sword. Sorry sis..."
<dies>
"Devola!"

"Popola, let's stop this now..."
"Stop? Stop? You want me to stop? You think I have the luxury to stop? You cut down my sister like an animal and you tell me to STOP!? I've said 'stop' so many times it doesn't even sound like a real word anymore!"
"Popola, wait! It doesn't have to-"

"No one STOOOOOOPS! AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
"Bwah hah hah. I like that one. She's gotta real set of angry lungs!"

"Seriously, Popola. Knock it off..."

"No stopping! No stopping ever! Stop! Stop! Stop! Pots! Stop! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

"The bridge!"
"Blast! We're t-t-t-t-trapped!"
"It's okay. Weiss and I can fly. And Kainé can jump like fifty feet. That'll be no problem for us to cross. Come on!"
"Whatabout me...?"
"Well...you can uhh..."
"....."
"...Oh dear. Well...well, wait. I've got an idea! Bear with me, I'm kinda making this up as I go along..."

"Hah! I didn't think this would really work! Boy, we could have saved a ton of travel time if I'd tried this earlier!"

Music: Emil ~ Sacrifice

"Heh... Ahahahahahaha!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! STOP!!! YOU'RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE!!!"
"I thought nobody stops..."
"Will you shut. The. FUCK. UP!!!!!!"
"I fear we're done for..."

"....."

"It'll be all right!"

"Huh?"

"You know...when I was young. I...I hated my eyes. And now that I'm older, I hate what my body has become. But there's something else there now. Something like...pride. You know? I mean, without all this... I couldn't have become your friend."

"Good-bye, my friends! Thank you for everything!"

"Emil?"

"For so long, all I could do was destroy."

"But now, I have a chance to save something..."

Emil dives out of the bubble shield...

"Keep going! Move!"

"Emil!"

"Don't worry! I'm gonna be fine!"

Emil shoots off one last magic glyph to push the bubble with his friends off to safety as he's drawn into the black hole Popola seems to have created.
