As seen in the previous update, the Earth is fucked. With a capital F.




All the data in the Earth is being uploaded to the Sun. Not copied, just transfered. That can't be pleasant.




The Earth is being eaten up.



But wait! What's that?



Well, their ritual suicide worked, I guess.





Holy shit the Earth is truly messed up there.
Kind of looks like the FFVII icon, too.






Easier said than done, but let's see what happens.




Set controls to the heart of the sun.







Aww, Serph is there for her.




And now they have to avoid random data/fire spikes. Kind of like the Nocturne Amala transport tunnels.





But just like in there, eventually they get hit.



That seriously can't be pleasant.



Wait what.




Wait. WHAT



Well. There it is.

This is why the game reminds me more than a bit to the Incal.
Serph and Sera have fused. They have become an Androgynous thing.
A thing that just happens to be the key to solving the whole dang mess, being both of light and dark (as seen in the color scheme).

That is very reminiscent of Solune.


The Perfect Hermaphrodite/Androginy. Son of Difool and Animah. Also, destined to become the perfect Emperoress of the Galaxy.
(Read anything by Jodorowsky. It kicks ass)
Duality made one, I guess?





And guess what: The mixed being is not alone!



Not alone at all.




EVERYONE of importance is there. One is there twice, actually.






And the being speaks with Sera's voice.

Also, isn't that symbol in the being's forehead similar to something we have seen before?
(No, not Agni's heads)








Well, things are looking up already, I'd say.







That certainly does not look like the surface of a star.



Wait wait wait, when did the cat die?






And that is the most obvious combined name ever made.





Yes, Serph and Sera fused and became a dickgirl. Angel must be oh so damn proud now.





Indeed.






That cat is probably ore mysterious than Gouto.




(it'll take a looong while until that is shown, since the next are is the grindiest thing EVER. Well, not ever, but up there, surely.)





And so, Schrödinger fades. Or something. It is not very clear at the moment.





Awww, they are all reunited.





NOTICE: Choices carried on from DDS1 and choices from DDS2 affect the outcome of this.





In the end, Roland was chosen because Heat is an asshole, and he couldn't have kept his natural weakness as Vritra. Asshole.




Also, Roland's design is superior.




And so, with Seraph's magical thingamabobs, everyone is given "flesh" again.





Lupa and Jinana have something to give to these two.
This is affected by DDS1 data.






And this, I don't remember what triggers this.







I TOLD YOU, Angel would be proud.





YAAAY.



Which is awesome. And costly. You'll see.




That was Lupa's combination skill, it is probably the strongest Fire attack in the game. And it is awesome.



About the only useful Hama-type spell in the game.



"Thank you for guiding Fred and Roland.
I hope that my power will aid you now, in your time of great need."




"Argilla... Did I make the right choice?"




"Serph, I asked you a question back in the Junkyard...
I asked you why any of us were alive...
Seeing you two together, I think I am starting to understand.
I owe you so much. Thank you."





Yay, ring fodder.
By the way, Skull Ring is NEVER, ever leaving Seraph's finger.



These are teleport pads connecting each "island" with each other.





Like that.




"I was able to comprehend metempsychosis once I felt David's consciousness within me.
However, I never thought I would encounter you in such a form...
The data of all things travels endlessly between here and eath, in a cycle of reincarnation.
The fact that you two were able to become one seems to signify something outside of that cycle.
Let us ascertain the meaning of this, Sera, Serph."




"I was so mistaken...
Seraph, please calm God's anger and guide life along its new path."




That's nice.


And now Cielo ruins everything.




PLOT LASERS, GODDAMNIT.





"If we can change the earth back to normal, Fred should be able to take it from there.
He's a great kid. Way more responsible than me.
I'm sure Fred's new world will have far fewer mistakes than ours."




And this is the new Large Terminal.

NEXT: GOING IN.
