Endride (エンドライド)

It sure seems quiet now.

That's because the Royal Guard left for the capital.

It may be calm here, but Endora is about to get crazy.

Very true...

The chaos and bloodshed has already begun.

With Delzaine dead, the situation has changed.

In any case, we'll need to group up and work together with the Ignauts.

We'll need a report on each of the regions.

Leave it to me.

The time has come to prove our worth...

Frustrating, isn't it?

We can't leave until they've finished investigating Babel.

Yeah, but we can be ready to leave the moment they're done.

By the way, is he still moping about?

Yes.

Well... that's understandable.

Pascal, I see no problems here.

It's functioning as expected.

All's well over here too.

Babel operated exactly according to design.

But still there's no evidence that Zoozian called Ibelda was actually sent to the surface.

Which means unless we investigate from the surface itself, we won't know what happened.

That's true...

What could have possibly gone wrong on the surface?

I can't say for sure without seeing for myself, but...

I'd guess the path was somehow blocked on the surface.

We keep running into problem after problem!

But that's what makes research and science so great!

It's like we've got two Pascal's now...

Hello, Alicia.

I brought some food. Why not take a break?

Thanks. Don't mind if I do.

Joseph! Time to eat!

Joseph!

Every answer brings us one step further down the path of truth!

I've done it!

Is he even listening?

Isn't it a good thing if the path to the surface is blocked?

I mean, weren't you opposed to joining Endora and the surface?

And I still am even now.

But Shun still needs to get back to the surface.

Yeah...

With King Delzaine gone, there are so many things that we'll never know...

What was the king trying to accomplish...

Hey, Pascal.

What is it?

Emilio's feeling down, right?

Yeah...

Is there anything I can do for him?

I wonder the same.

That boy is lost in his own thoughts.

I'd like to help him as much as you, but...

Hey!

Shun? What's up?

Well, I was wondering how the investigation was going.

I see...

We lack both the time and resources to investigate any further.

I'm very sorry about not being able to return you to the surface.

Don't gimme that. It's not like this means I'll never get back.

You and that guy... Joseph, right?

I'm sure you two will figure out how to make Babel work eventually.

Even if you don't, I'll just find another way to get home.

Another way?

But you know...

Before any of that, there's someone we've got to cheer up.

I can't let him stay depressed forever.

Emilio sure has some good friends.

It's over the capacity!

Curse this advanced prehistoric technology!

Hot! Hot!

I'll just have to compensate for the pressure using a larger volume...

How's that? Argh!

Emilio might just need a distraction to take his mind off things...

A distraction?

I've got it.

We're counting on you.

Yes, sir.

Demetrio. What was that about?

Just keeping in touch with our comrades.

Now that Delzaine has died, some regions are falling into disarray.

Demetrio.

What are your plans now?

Plans?

I... With Delzaine dead, I lost my one and only purpose.

Isn't it the same for you?

The king is dead. Your revolution is over.

So what do you plan to do now?

It's not over just because he's dead.

Our real purpose begins now.

Huh?

The disorder in this country will only worsen from here.

Turmoil and unrest will spread.

Regional lords will brawl and feud to expand their own greed and lands.

And until it all passes over, the Ignauts will have a job to do.

We'll be on our way as soon as they're done investigating Babel.

Do you plan on staying here and moping forever?

Emilio? What were you and Demetrio talking about?

That's none of your business.

What do you want?

Ah, I'm sick of sitting around.

Thought I'd get in a little training!

Want to spar together?

Hurry up and get out your Warp Relic.

Practice by yourself.

I don't feel like it right now.

What's your problem? I even asked nicely...

You can't even go back to the surface now!

Why are you still acting so positive?!

You happy-go-lucky moron!

Of course I'm not happy about it.

But you know...

Being depressed about it isn't going to help anything.

I'm not useless like you.

Does that make you mad, prince?

Not bad.

If you think that's impressive, you must not be very good!

Don't underestimate me!

Those kids...

Though maybe I'm the one who's a child.

First we'll have to head to nearby towns and secure rations and supplies.

After that...

What do you want?

Mischa...

I'm thinking to leave the Ignauts.

But why?!

Because... I'm a traitor.

None of you will feel the same with me around.

Goodbye...

Huh?

What's the matter?

The island Zoozians are seeking help.

What happened?

The island was surrounded by armed ships.

But why? That island has always been left alone...

Your island now belongs to me!

You no longer have to suffer your pitiful lives.

When you labor as slaves of mine, I will guarantee your safety.

Did you hear?

The king passed away in Babylon!

Now lords from all over are raiding villages and towns.

What a mess this has become...

Even Prince Emilio has gone missing.

This country is falling apart!

Gimme everything you've got!

Hand it over! Quick!

Y-You'll never get away with this—

G-Give it back!

Shut up!

This is for not cooperating!

With the king dead, the army and government is in shambles!

There's no one around to stop us!

There's nothing holding this country together anymore.

And without the king, there's nothing to stop people from invading the Zoozian island.

I'm afraid you're right.

Our work as revolutionary army is over.
