Part 246: Ending part 3

Moon



: (.........) ...When we're alone, you can call me Kihel, you know. I'm still dressed like this.

: ...Would you prefer that?

: No... It was a joke, Lieutenant Harry.

: Ma'am......

: ...How are everyone's preparations proceeding?

: The Argama is ready for liftoff. All that's left is to await your arrival, Lady Diana.

: ...It is not the Argama.



: Yes... After the two boys who bridged the gap between the moon and the Earth...

: Then, Lady Diana...

: Yes... Let us go...

[SCENE CHANGE]



: ...Stay in one piece, Jamil.

: (.........) ...So you're going to remain on Earth?

: ...Yeah. I've gotten pretty fond of life on Earth.

: I see......

: And... even in peacetime, the Earth's environment still hasn't been completely cleaned up.

: ...Yeah. We still have a lot of issues left to resolve...

: (.........) ...Sorry. I shouln't have brought it up on the day you guys are setting out on a new trip.

: (.........)

: How about a last drink? Most issues are resolved in one's mind, over a cup of coffee. The only issue after that... Is whether or not you can actually carry out what you decide.

: Yeah......

[SCENE CHANGE]



: (.........)

: ...I'm sorry. I mean it. Roybea... Your feelings, I can't...

: Whoa, stop right there.

: (.........)

: What you're about to say isn't suited to a final scene.

: (.........)

: (.........) ...If you went to the moon, you could help Queen Diana out.

: (.........)

: ...There'll probably be all kinds of problems, but keep at it, and don't let our fights go to waste...

: (.........)

: Well, you take things too seriously as it is. Guess I've got no cause for worry.

: (.........)



: Understood, Jamil......

: (.........)

: (.........)

: Jamil... Take good care of Sarah.

: ...I know.

: (.........) ...And if anything comes up, give me a call. I'll take whatever job you offer, even if it's a cheap one.

: Yeah... I'll be counting on you if that happens...

Jamil and Sarah leave

: (...Oh, well... I probably never stood a chance to begin with...)



: The Laura Ran's getting ready for liftoff. We have to go see it off!

: I-I know, yeesh.

: What's wrong with you...?

: Nothing. But what are you two doing alone together?

: Eh? W-well, uh...

: Y-you see... Huh, how can I put it... It's better to get along... than to fight, right?

:: Heh... When did you become such a sly dog, Witz?

: Sh-shut up! Nothing wrong with it, is there!?

: Whoa, don't get so serious.

: What are you guys doing? It's time.

: Eh? Did I mix up the times?

: (.........) By the way, Enil... Care to join me for a drink tonight?

: (.........) ...Yeah, sure. I could use a good drink right about now.

: (...Enil......)

: Well, on that note...

: You're one incorrigible bastard, you know that?

: Forget about that. Let's hurry to the sendoff...

[SCENE CHANGE]



: Right...

: You sure it's okay for us to take the Double X and G-Falcon, Garrod...?

: Yeah, I don't need 'em anymore. In return, put 'em to good use.

: Who can be sure about that?

: What do you mean?

: Well, I mean, we're going to the moon to build an age where they don't need to be used.

: ! I get it... Yeah, you're right.

: (.........)

: I, also... share that intent.

: Caris... Will you be all right? I mean... with your condition...

: Yes. I'm ready to live the rest of my life with this condition. Besides... I want to go to the moon and ponder a number of things at greater length. Like the D.O.M.E. incident from six months ago, and the Black History...

: I see...

: (.........)

: ...I am truly glad to have met all of you. I'll never forget what you did for me.

: Hey, don't go tryin' to get all formal now!

: Caris... Do take care...

: You, too... Tifa...

: (... Yeah, I guess there's no coming between those two...)

: Well, Tifa... Let's get going.

: Yes...

: You guys aren't staying for the Laura Ran's sendoff?

: Nah... If I see everyone's faces, it'll be that much more painful to part ways. Besides... Loran's not coming either, right?

: (............) ...Yeah... Loran's...

: Ah... S-sorry... Sochie...

: ...No, it's okay......



: (.........)

: More importantly, Garrod... You make sure to protect Tifa.

: Yeah! If you don't, I won't know you anymore.

: Yeah... I know.

: Then... Please, do take care...

: Yeah, you too!



: ...Looking at that ship, half a year ago seems like only yesterday.

: You hit the nail on the head, Milady.

: Looking back... Going to the past seems like a dream now.

: Yeah... Thank god we all made it back in one piece...

: No kidding...

: The ship will be departing shortly.

: Parting can be such sweet sorrow...





: Th-that's...

: The Iron Gear!

: Phew, we somehow managed to make it on time, Miss.

: Whatever, just get the Iron Gear over to the coast, pronto!

: You guys...!



: Why'd you come here...?

: We wanted to give the Argame... er, Laura Ran, a sendoff before it goes back!

: Save the greetings, the Laura Ran's about to take off for the moon!



: Take care of yourselves up there, everyone!

: ...Well then, I bid all of you adieu

: Do take care...

: You'd better at least call me on a video phone!

: I will...! Sochie, you take care too...

: Captain... The main engine has reached critical.

: .........



And the Luara Ran takes off...

[SCENE CHANGE]

Meanwhile, at a busy Bazaar...





: What's a Newtype?

: 'Zat the name of a new Walker Machine model?

: What? You guys don't know!?

: No idea.

: ...Gawd, there's no talking to you guys. Anyway! Bro and I are tough, we've fought a bunch of 'em.

: (.........)

: So, anyone want to hire us?

: What... It was just a sales pitch?

: You guys are talkin' to the wrong people. We're Breakers, y'know.

The other Breakers leave.

: (............)

: (............)



: ...Don't say it. I'm fully aware of that!

: Oh? Hey, you there! Do you know what a Newtype is?





: I'm asking you if you know what a Newtype... E-er... Hey, you guys are...!

: *giggle* ...Of course we do. Right, Garrod...?



[SCENE CHANGE]



: Ah, there you are. Today's soup is pretty good.

: Thank you, Loran.



: Thank you very much...

: What's the matter, Loran?

: I got a letter from old man Sid... He says Miss Kihel and Jamil's group have made it to the moon safely.

: I see......

: (.........) ...Lady Diana, is this really for the best? Never returning to the moon...?

: (.........) ...It is fine... To live on this land, to grow old... To return to the soil, that has been my wish...

: (.........)

: (.........) ...The way we are now... Those battles seem like nothing more than a dream, now...

: ...Yes......

: (.........)

: Lady Diana, it's about time to get some sleep...

: Yes...

: (.........)



[SCENE CHANGE]





: Yes... Thank you. If the Thrudgelmir was working, I wouldn't have asked for transportion...

: Aw, don't worry about it.

: yeah, we made it back because of you. This is the least we could do!

: ...No, your return was a miracle brought about be your own strong wills...

: .........



: .........

: You've got the makings of a great Breaker!

: Yeah! I'll pay you and everything!

: ......... No... I cannot go along with you. ...As an Ancestor, I could hardly be forgiven for trying to kill you all...

: Just forget about the past!

: Yeah! We don't care about that stuff anymore.

: ......... I'm going to pray for Sophia's rest, where the Earth Cradle once stood...

: .........



: ......... Alright, Sanger... Take care of yourself.

: Yes... you too.

: Okay... Cotset, time to set out!

: Roger!

The Iron gear leaves.

: .........



[SCENE CHANGE]



: (...Sophia...... I've returned here...... To this spot, where we entrusted our hopes to
the future, and went into an unending slumber......)

: (......We lost our way, but... ...Mankind has overcome a great number of crises... And they've managed to take hold of the future......)
