The first 196 lines.
Strongest Because of Imperfection
So they survived.
What a persistent lot.
They're after the new Diva.
They won't have an emotional reunion on my watch.
Chill out a bit, Apollo.
Let me take care of them this time.
Thanks for leading them here, Medea.
This is rare.
You've always preferred to be in the shadows, outwitting the enemy.
Well, I could use some exercise.
In exchange, I want to ask you a favor.
The Mirage appeared simultaneously in 25 locations.
Not to mention...
They're all political hubs.
There's no logic in setting targets like this.
It's an attack solely to put the whole Earth in chaos.
Who knew they'd be the one to give us a signal?
Yes. They don't care about the consequences.
Which means our kids are closing in on Nagi.
Now this is a race, SI-VIS.
Do you take me down first or does Earth perish before that?
Ready, set... go!
A calling arises from deep within in my burning heart
It's Show Time
The price of living in the time of freedom
"So, what do you want to do?"
Just standing there with my empty body
Like a calling to protect the world
I craved an unequaled gift
Lost in night's darkness
Until a voice called out to me
Like the light that declares the dawn
I'll take you with me at any cost (I pray and wish)
Beyond the Echo-verse (To the future)
Just being with you makes me strong
It's not an exaggeration
That encounter was a supernova
In an instant, everything that I am
Will be changed forever (Just to be)
A calling arises from deep within in my burning heart
Destiny is Calling us now
Just to be who we are
Destiny is Calling us now
Just to be by your side
Everyone, can you hear me?
Loud and clear.
Oh, wow! How are you doing this?
Connecting Harmonia and myself through Metis.
I didn't think Earth technology was capable of this.
It's not Earth technology. It's my skill.
Now we're ready for the live concert.
But we can't tell what's really going on over there.
So you're the stage director of SI-VIS today, Medea.
I always do my best.
So the rest is up to SI-VIS.
So cold!
Can you say something that will, I don't know, boost our morale?
Which makes you, Rui, the supervisor for today.
Work with her and lead the concert to success.
Are you sure you can trust her that much?
Shouldn't you trust her more than anyone?
As women who loved the same man.
You can sympathize with her, can't you?
According to Harmonia headquarters,
we have about thirty minutes before the Mirages close.
We have to rescue the Diva before that and stop the Mirages.
It's a race against time.
You say that, but will saving Nagi really stop the Mirages?
The situation on Earth must be dealt with,
but rushing into things just to fail won't help.
No, we should take our chances with the time limit of thirty minutes.
Because that man is most likely playing games with you.
Come on. Come on. Come on!
I will reunite you guys.
Just like Romeo and Juliet on your planet.
Is that...?
Kyoya is here.
Lord Archon was right.
If we use her, we can revive XENOS without relying on Earth.
I am Kyoya of SI-VIS.
I'll make sure everyone survives!
How fortuitous.
With Earth and the new Diva on our side,
our revival will be a hundred years closer.
Medea-san, are these...?
Yes, the people of XENOS.
They placed their hope of resurrection in us and went to sleep.
A Mirage?!
What the heck is that?
A trap?
No. This is most likely a trap as well as a chance.
There's only one XENOS left who would do something dramatic like this.
I know! It's that pervy old man!
I can no longer tell what Samael's true intention is.
But it feels to me like it is very personal and impulsive.
He wants to fight us?
I'm sure he's waiting for us with a hostage of one plus billions of people.
You mean Nagi and...
The lives of the earthlings.
If we crush this Mirage, then the Mirages on Earth should disappear as well.
It wouldn't make sense to put on a show like this otherwise.
Then all we do is to take the bait with everything we've got.
Everyone, just do it as usual, okay?
Until the live concert begins...
Or until those 25 cities disappear, we've got 15 minutes left.
What emotions are you going through?
Are you all right, everyone?!
Medea-san!
Now's not the time to worry about me!
Telling him that is pointless.
He can't even protect himself, but he tries to protect everyone.
That's mean.
That's...
A revived cyborg?
As expected of the pervy old man.
I knew he had bad taste, but this is peak.
Here goes our all-out attack.
Everyone, let's go!
No, that's not it!
Let's just do our usual.
Leave this to us and keep going!
Soji, μ...
It's a race against time!
Our combat power won't change that much if you aren't here!
But...
I think you'd be better off if we weren't with you.
I bet there'll be a full display of embarrassing lines like,
"Give back my Nagi, you scoundrel!" and whatnot.
Oh, come on! You guys never listen to me!
Okay, I'll go do my solo.
But we'll do the next song with the full cast!
You're going, too!
Please. I need you to back him up.
Make sure our leader looks cool, will you?
"Our leader"?
Is that how a leader should be?
Orphe led and guided everyone from the front.
He produced results on his own.
He never showed his weakness.
But that boy...
Sorry, but leave the princess and I alone, will you?
I've done your bidding so far, haven't I?
Yo, Princess.
Kyoya is coming.
Yup, your knight will arrive soon.
To kill me.
You're wrong.
Kyoya won't kill or hate.
He's a true hero who saves everyone.
But I kinda need him to fight me, you know?
Otherwise, there's no growing stronger, you see?
Nagi!
Welcome to my homeland!
The Diva's Knight and successor of Orphe!
Nagi!
Kyoya!
Set Nagi free!
If you want your princess back, try and stop this Mirage.
If you manage to do it, I'll give you a reward!
I'll stop every Mirage on Earth, not just here.
Because its core is right here.
You must stop this, Samael!
You touched her power, didn't you?
Then you must have realized
that there's a way for both XENOS and the earthlings
to survive without taking Earth!
Apollo, Orphe, you...
Why can't you be a bit more flexible?
Who cares about the future of the human species?
Samael!
You must have known...
What we're doing to take Earth.
What we have done.
Our friends who entrusted the future of XENOS to us and went to sleep...
Our friends who went to sleep, believing that they'd wake up one day...
We've consumed their lives to be here.
That's why... That's exactly why!
Now might be our chance to stop the cycle of loss.
This is a one-in-a-million chance!
Right.
You should stick to your beliefs, Medea.
And I will do the same.
Why, Samael?!
Is that all you have to say?
What is Lord Apollo's opinion?!
I can't imagine him tolerating your reckless behavior!
True, Apollo probably wouldn't condone my purpose.
But he'd allow me to destroy SI-VIS to gain Earth.
That's how he is.
That can't be...!
If you don't have anyone to protect, find someone.
Get to know someone well enough that they're no longer a stranger!
Did you hear that, Medea?
How about you?
You lost Orphe, the only love you had. Can you say the same thing?
