Part 222: 1/30/10

1/30/10

Tomorrow’s the day.



I’ll do my best, so…
……
I want to stay by your side.
I want to be with you.
So please…

The day we stand against death.



I’m looking forward to coming, actually, once this is all over.

I’m not afraid, though, because I’ll face it surrounded by people I love.



Hehe, I’m glad I can see you after class like this.
I hope we can be in the same class next year, too. Along with Yukari-chan, of course.
You know… I like school.
Thank you… I’m so glad I came to this school…

Even though I know it’s impossible, I wish we could all stay together forever.



…I’ll keep a positive outlook on life too, no matter what happens.
You’re the one who taught me that…
Right, Aelita…?
…Here, your tie is crooked. You’re such a mess…
> Mitsuru fixed your bow.
That’s better.
See you later.

I’ve got so much catching up to do once this is all done. With all this craziness I haven’t had that much time to do, well, normal person stuff.



> Various healing items that fit a theme of “purifying of one’s soul” line the shelves.
> You spent a moment of peace listening to the clerk advocate the “soul salvation system”…
> Your health has changed from “Good” to “Great”!

Even if we all make it through this, Mitsuru and Aki are graduating soon.



Tomorrow…
The promised day…
It’s been ten years since “Death” has awakened…
Once we enter Tartarus tomorrow, we won’t be able to leave.
…Are you ready?

We’ll just have to all have as much fun as possible while we’re all still together in one place.



Newscaster: In light of the sharp income divide, we’ll poll citizens on what gives them hope for the future.
Our first report will be “Young Pessimists of the Punctured Bubble.”
We’ll follow youths who have thrown away their hope as a result of disillusionment in capitalism…

PS: The Hanged Man is not on my holiday card list anymore.

Boss Battle: Hanged Man
Oh god this fight. So, it works basically the same way. He starts in the air, with three statues that use –dyne level elemental magic we have to kill to make him fall down into range. He’ll summon Mayas that use physical attacks, and also will turn them into bombs. You actually need him to, as well, because you have to let a Maya explode to get Armageddon from the rewards. When he’s on the ground he’ll use Akasha Arts and God’s Hand, so keeping up a Tetrakarn shield or Attack Mirror is helpful. The big problem with this fight is he has a shitload of HP and generally only spends a turn or two on the ground before going back up each time. Expect to be here for a while.
