The Wall's security alarm senses the El Search Party and reacts.
The enemies already know we're here. We must hurry.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (WAAAAANG WAAAAAANG-!!!)
  • Noah: Ugh, it's so loud!
  • Clamor: They came swarming the moment we came up.
  • Eve: There are security sensors everywhere... It's as the Dream Demons said. This might be the only hole in the security they have. Let's hurry.
  • Aisha: Uwa... Don't look down. It's making me dizzy.
  • Raven: He was right. From this height, you won't even be able to see the sky from below.
  • Rose: And without being able to see the sky, you can't use the stars to guide your way. It's like a maze.
  • Rose: Even if someone manages to sneak within the walls, they won't be able to go anywhere from there, nor escape.
  • Lu: I don't understand. I don't understand at all... Were they trying to isolate the Land of Steel from the rest of the Demon Realm...?
  • Eve: If the purpose is to stop the Contamination, they shouldn't need this level of security.
  • Eve: It's like they're refusing to acknowledge anything beyond the wall...
  • Aisha: But we have the route the Dream Demons gave us. We just have to make sure to stay together.
  • Add: The direction of the signal... Found it. It's that way!
  • Aisha: Wait, Add! Geez, I just said we should stay together!
  • Lu: It's fine. He knows how to take care of himself. Add! I have a request to make.
  • Add: What? Get on with it.
  • Lu: It's likely that a member of the order where you will be headed to, knows what happened to the Land of Steel. Or perhaps was even directly involved.
  • Lu: Ask what happened in the Land of Steel. Even the smallest detail will suffice... Please.
  • Add: ... Alright. If I get around to it.
  • Elsword: Some of us will follow him. Everyone, good luck!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • Elesis: Map... Let's see, according to the map, this way is the fastest route.
  • Rose: With the security being so tight, taking cover will be impossible.
  • Chung: Well, if we're playing decoy, it's better to make a splash! Since there's less people who went the other way.
  • Elesis: Do you think members of the Order are going to be where Add went? Damn it, maybe I should have went with them.
  • Eve: They'll be fine. We must do what we can from here.
  • Chung: Alright! Let's become the center of attention!
  • Eve: I will investigate the area around the wall. There may be shortcuts or other dangers the Dream Demons failed to notice.
  • Zero: The structure... It's really a maze... The design itself has malicious intent. Do the ones living in the wall never plan on leaving?
  • Noah: ... Um, is there a distinction between a maze and a labyrinth? This seems similar to that place we went before.
  • Clamor: You mean Plegas's Labyrinth? They're similar. Mazes and labyrinths are both complex structures. Though they are usually used for landscaping gardens...
  • Clamor: Anything other than for simple landscaping could be dangerous. They are usually designed to put people under pressure until they can arrive at the destination.
  • Noah: So both mazes and labyrinths are made to puzzle people?
  • Clamor: Yes. But there's one clear distinction. Labyrinths have a single, continuous path. It's like a string, in a sense that it twists and turns, but ultimately is still a singular path.
  • Clamor: So it's actually not that hard to find the way. You will eventually reach the center as long as you keep going.
  • Noah: The destination of a labyrinth is the center? Not the exit?
  • Clamor: Mostly. That's why labyrinths are often compared to destiny or truth that is ignored, yet ultimately inevitable.
  • Noah: Yes, yes. I get it, Mr. Encyclopedia. Then what is a maze?
  • Clamor: For mazes, the entrance and the exit are often separate, and the main purpose is to escape the maze.
  • Clamor: But the reason why it's hard to reach the destination is different from labyrinth's. Mazes have countless potential paths.
  • Clamor: If you're unlucky, you may end up moving in circles, never to reach the exit.
  • Noah: That's what you mean by malicious intent. I wonder why they included this design for the wall?
  • Clamor: Hm... It's common sense to have fortified walls to stop invasions... But this definitely goes beyond the scope of common sense. Never mind how wasteful this is.
  • Clamor: You can sense the obsessive intent of forbidding, not only anyone invading from outside, but also from anyone escaping...
  • Clamor: The Queen must be feeling devastated.
  • Noah: Yeah....
  • Noah: (I wonder what it's like, coming back home, only to face rejection...)

Description

The maze-like structure and the machines' relentless attacks hinder the path.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • (CREEK, CLANG!)
  • Elesis: I made an opening on the armor! Let's see who was controlling this contraption!
  • (CRACK- SLAM!!)
  • Ara: So? Anyone inside...?
  • Elesis: ... None. I only see machine parts.
  • Eve: As I thought. Though they're not exactly the same... All the machines here incorporate Nasod AI, or at least something that was altered from Nasod AI.
  • Eve: It's unlikely that any of the machines have a pilot. They're likely controlled by the central AI.
  • Rena: Elesis, watch out! It's moving again!
  • (WHIIRR-!)
  • Elesis: Ugh, wait, I'm going to fall this way...! Wah!
  • Raven: Jump! We'll catch you! Right now!
  • Elesis: Kugh! ... Uwa, that was a close call! What was that?
  • Rena: Oh! I think there was a description on the Dream Demons' map! Let me read it for you.
  • Ricardo: ... 'You'll see them when you climb the wall. Approximately 1700 Fins tall with immense steel body, its imposing muzzle never misses its target.
  • Ricardo: When it relentlessly charges towards intruders like... ...Tsk, how to describe it...
  • Ricardo: There must be something more... sophisticated... I can use to describe, but man, I can't think of any.
  • Ricardo: Oh! Anyway, I gave it a name. It defeated many elite Torta hunters, so it needs something epic!
  • Ricardo: The name is Vargr! I named it after a terrifying four-legged beast tamed by a giant that once ruled the Land of Steel and the Red Demon Territory according to Old Queen Granny.
  • Ricardo: I think it's fitting. Actually we had a few other candidates...
  • Rena: ... It's all useless fluff!
  • Eve: He gave us the first draft... It's troublesome. We should give this back to him later.
  • Ara: This machine is very sturdy and persistent. I wonder if there's any way to lose it? It would be best if we can find a way to make it fall down the wall.
  • Chung: The way it withstands pressure is outstanding. If only Aisha was here...
  • Rena: I don't think it would have made much of a difference. The metal it's made of seems to resist magic!
  • Noah: It resists magic...? Maybe there's some kind of resistance spell or mechanism that rejects magic?
  • Clamor: Or that metal could be made of special material.
  • Rose: Is there anyway we can make use of that, Zero?
  • Zero: We can try. Eve found a dormant airship, but it didn't have any visible problems, so I can try operating that.
  • Rose: The Dream Demons must have taken it out. That's convenient. Zero and Eve, if you will?
  • Eve: If we can get it to work, it should allow us to go over the wall quickly. We'll try.
  • Lu: I am absolutely outraged... I cannot accept this situation at all!
  • Ciel: Of course. There's no way you would have known they'd create something of this magnitude.
  • Lu: As we got closer to the Land of Steel, all I thought about was what my home would look like, and what I can do once I arrive.
  • Lu: I thought if Barkat is there then I can return everything to how it once was, but he might not be. We might have to face ruffians who took over the land when there was no master.
  • Lu: Or it may be exactly as I remember... an empty, desolate land.
  • Lu: Yes, those were the things I was prepared for... But... But what is this! How dare they violate my land like this!
  • (...CRASH!)
  • Lu: You coward hiding behind the machine. I know you can hear my voice and you will relay my message.
  • Lu: As the true Lord of Steel, I will punish the fools who have schemed and violated my land!
  • (BEEP- WHIR, WHIING)
  • (...BEEP... BEE- BEE- BEE- BEE-)
  • (CLANG, CLANG!)
  • Noah: Ugh, it's breaking down! Watch out!
  • Clamor: ... Wait, I don’t think it's breaking down.
  • Rose: The parts are separating...?! It's changing its form. Lu! Quickly! Come down!
  • Lu: Kugh...!!
  • Ciel: Lu!!!!
  • (BEE BEE BEE BEE)
  • (KWA KWA KWA... BOOM!!!)
  • Chung: It's flying away?! Stop! Where are you taking Lu?!
  • Ciel: If we don't hurry, we're going to lose her! What do we do? Anything?!
  • (WHIIING--!!)
  • Eve: We successfully activated the abandoned airship. Everyone, get on! We will be on pursuit immediately!

  • Add: .......
  • Add: (The fact that someone made a Nasod in Mother's resemblance... must mean that someone is the one to attack us, or at the very least, is closely involved.)
  • Add: (Was the attackers the Order? The Order attacking my family? Since when did they... Damn it!)
  • Laby: Add! Wait!
  • Aisha: It's no use. He's not listening at all! I don't think he notices us at all!
  • Elsword: That idiot. He's the one who always tells me to think before charging ahead, when he's doing exactly that right now!
  • Ain: He's been acting strange since encountering that Nasod. Did he meet the Nasod before?
  • Elsword: This is the first time we've encountered a Nasod in the Demon Realm. The machines in Rigomor... Wait, he's making another turn! Add! Wait!
  • Add: (This signal... It's close! It's somewhere around here!)
  • Add: (She should have noticed my approach from this distance, but the signal is not budging...)
  • Add: (Damn it, you want to do this...?!)
  • ???: .......
  • ???: ...Hm, yes. First, I'll start with an introduction. That should be appropriate.
  • ???: Debrian... How many centuries have past? I thought I've forgotten what it means to miss something, but at long last.
  • ???: Ah... When will they arrive?

Add finds the one who made the Nasod in his mother's resemblance. He is more than eager to introduce himself as a Debrian.

Quest Completion Dialogue
  • (SLAM! BZZZT)
  • Add: Kugh, ugh...!
  • ???: Ah, it's rude to attack someone without a proper introduction. Or did proper etiquette change from what I remember?
  • ???: No matter. I'll follow what I know.
  • Friedrich: My name is Friedrich. I am a Debrian, and I do... various things... for the Order.
  • Friedrich: Heh, was that too obvious? You probably knew already.
  • Friedrich: But aren't you acting too... intensely? Pity, because I am happy to meet you. I wanted to talk.
  • Add: Talk...? Give me a break...! I have nothing to say to you. Just tell me how you know my mother...!
  • Add: Damn it, what... What is this? I can't move... My head hurts... Ugh!
  • Friedrich: I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Anyway, you are quite brave to charge in like that. You should have been more aware of what you're capable of before charging ahead.
  • Add: What are you... Did you do something to my code?
  • Add: It can't be. Those electrodes didn't even move...!
  • Friedrich: Are you thinking that I didn't have time to pull off anything? Huhuhu.
  • Friedrich: If you don't know, let me educate you. You know Nasod Ruler Code was created for war against Nasods?
  • Friedrich: Back then, Nasods have reached an inconvenient level of intellect, thinking for themselves and believing that they no longer needed to be controlled by humans.
  • Friedrich: Humans had to develop a new strategy against their versatile enemy.
  • Add: What does that have to do with anything!
  • Friedrich: Oh, it has everything to do with it. Nasod Ruler code is designed to accept and prioritize handling of any code related to Nasods. Like a sponge absorbing water.
  • Friedrich: Huhuhu... You are right. I did not have enough time to meddle with your code. I didn't have to.
  • Friedrich: All I needed to do, was keep stuffing your head with meaningless dummy Nasod data...
  • Add: Dummy... data...? Ugh....
  • Friedrich: Your brain cannot handle all the data coming in like waves, until finally... Pop!
  • Friedrich: Haha... ...But I can tell from looking at you. You grew up in an enviroment where there were no other Nasod Rulers.
  • Friedrich: You didn't even conceive the possibility of your weakness being easily exploited by someone with the same ability... Never thought about how you would protect yourself...
  • Friedrich: ...... So, they're all gone like that, ha...
  • Add: This, absurd....
  • Friedrich: ... Don't be too harsh on yourself. It's natural for predators to lose their survival instincts.
  • Friedrich: Before I forget, I haven't heard your name. Will you introduce yourself? And how you came across the Ruler code.
  • Add: Damn it, drop the act and answer my question!
  • Friedrich: Ah, this is why I don't deal with brats... Always prioritizing their emotion.
  • Friedrich: Child, I am much older than I look so why don't you show some respect? I am starting to feel... irritated.
  • Friedrich: If you won't cooperate, I guess I'll just take a crack at your log.
  • Add: What are you...? Ugh, take that away!
  • (BZZT!)
  • Add: Ack, Fu...!
  • Friedrich: Behave, or the next one will really hurt.
  • Friedrich: Let's see... Code number, activation date... Hm, they go a while back. Almost when I was young... Who created you...?
  • Friedrich: Access data log. Asker Grenore... Last patch, Grace Grenore...? Ha?
  • Add: Stop rummaging through my data!
  • Friedrich: They actually got married? Unbelievable...
  • Add: Wh, what are you talking about!
  • Add: (Wait, there's an opening...!)
  • (BZZT)
  • Friedrich: Ugh!
  • (BZZZZZT-!!)
  • Grace: ('... We will sh... an even better dream. Right? ... ...')
  • Asker: ('There's no more... Debrians will...')
  • Asker: ('But so what? I will... If you... run, I won't st... you.')
  • Friedrich: ('Likely become a monster, or turn myself into one...')
  • Friedrich: ('... Either way, it seems there's no choice but to embrace it.')
  • Add: (What? This memory....)
  • Friedrich: Ouch, that stinged.
  • Friedrich: More importantly, you. Let me get a better look at your face.
  • Friedrich: Aha... I see the resemblance now. Though you look more like Asker than Grace.
  • Friedrich: That's why you were mentioning your mother earlier. Ok, I get it now.
  • Add: Get it my...
  • Friedrich: Still, how peculiar. How did they have a child so young? Still wet behind the ears. Are you even fully grown?
  • Add: Get your hands off me! Who are you? Why do you have a Nasod that looks like my mother?!
  • Friedrich: Because I'll be physically sick if I have to see your father's face everyday. So what was your name again? Ah, never mind, I'll find out myself.
  • Friedrich: ADD... Add? That's not a name. The real name must be stored somewhere...
  • Friedrich: Hm? There's a lock here. I believe I can crack it... But why here, I wonder...
  • Add: Agh...
  • Grace: (I need to hurry. The program needs to be edited before he comes back.)
  • Grace: (It's my fault... I should have stopped him somehow...)
  • Grace: (Sob, sniffle... sniffle...)
  • Grace: (... When Edward Grenore is entered... change to a new name and subvert the route to prevent activating the set program.)
  • Grace: (This should work... No, this has to work...)
  • Add: No... If you unlock that....
  • Friedrich: I wonder, perhaps something interesting will happen if I unlock this?
  • Grace: (Edward...)
  • Add: Let me go! No, if you unlock that...!
  • (PHEEW... ...BOOM!)
  • Friedrich: Oops, that almost burned me.
  • Laby: Pant, pant, finally found you! Add! Add, are you ok?!
  • Aisha: You! You're from the Order, aren't you? Get away from Add right now!
  • Friedrich: Looks like I won't be able to satisfy my curiosity today.
  • Friedrich: But alright... I haven't felt this much anticipation in a while.

  • Elsword: You heard her, stand back!
  • Friedrich: Fine, fine. I'm backing off, so relax. Trust me, I'm not a violent guy.
  • Aisha: Not a violent guy? You were crushing our friend!
  • Friedrich: It's all a misunderstanding. I didn't mean to hurt anyone. Won't you forgive me?
  • Aisha: That's for us to decide. Why don't you answer our question first? Are you a member of the Order?
  • Friedrich: I'm a researcher under the Order. Well... I don't do much research now adays.
  • Friedrich: I suppose, I am an old spirit, pretending to be human. I have no intention to fight.
  • Aisha: Is that the position of the Order?
  • Friedrich: Hm... I doubt it. It's a personal choice.
  • Laby: Why are you interested in us?
  • Friedrich: I'm fascinated.
  • Ain: Curiosity, fascination, they're all cliché answers. Why should we trust you?
  • Friedrich: Ah... They don't realize my inaction is already in and of itself an act of goodwill. Hm, this conversation is not going the way I expected...
  • Elsword: You think you're going easy on us?
  • Friedrich: I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, but it's the truth. Observe.
  • (BZZZT-!)
  • Laby: Owie! Huh? What happened? Where did that attack come from?
  • Friedrich: It can come from anywhere. How many times do I have to tell you? Let's talk.
  • Ain: ... Is the crystal of life also your doing?
  • Friedrich: It's not. My job was to study the mechanization of bodies with the sponsorship from the Order. Though, that was a long time ago.
  • Friedrich: Now, I just... exist. No other life purpose to speak of.
  • Elsword: What are you keep mumbling about?
  • Friedrich: Ah, my apologies, I got used to talking to myself. In any case, my specialties is in mechanics.
  • Friedrich: If it's related to magic, Aldebaran should know... but I find Aldebaran too creepy. I have nothing more to say.
  • Aisha: I thought you could tell us anything, but you don't even know anything. You must be pretty low in the hierarchy.
  • Friedrich: Haha, if that's what you want to believe.
  • Add: ...The Land of Steel.
  • Add: You warned us not to head to the Land of Steel through the Nasod.
  • Add: This fortress, and the giant fortress in the sky, are they both your doing?
  • Friedrich: I merely provided the technology. Huhu, do you also find it fascinating?
  • Friedrich: A result this obsessive is rare... You have to give props when the scale is this massive, even if it is just a puppet show.
  • Friedrich: You cannot see from this height, but from higher up, you'll notice that it's the exact replica of the castle on the ground.
  • Laby: Did you tell us not to come because of that huge thing in the sky?
  • Friedrich: More accurately, I wanted to prevent you from going beyond this point. Because... I didn't want you to get hurt before satisfying my curiosity.
  • Friedrich: I admit it's a purely... selfish reason. Hahaha...
  • Friedrich: But you've come all this way, even going through the Abyss... I want to expect high things from you. It will really be a shame if I have to lose you already... Hm.
  • Elsword: He's looking down on us.
  • Laby: Even if you stop us, we have to go. Lu's been waiting day and night to come here!
  • Friedrich: Alright, then go ahead. I won't stop you.
  • Friedrich: We'll have time to talk as long as you're alive.
  • Friedrich: I have... quite the abundance of time.
  • Ain: (What is this sense of nihilism coming from him....)
  • Friedrich: Then shall we part our ways here? Goodbye, my dear unruly nephew. See you next time.
  • Friedrich: I believe I can teach you many things, and I have many things I wish to ask. We will make great conversation partners.
  • Add: Don't you dare... Hey! Stop him...!
  • Elsword: Add, don't push yourself. It's best to let him go right now.
  • Add: Damn it... Damn it...! I couldn't do anything... Anything!
  • Laby: ......?
  • Laby: Wait, everyone look up there! The island in the sky is shining!
  • (WHIIIR... ZING!)
  • (DUDUDUDUDU... BOOM! KABOOM!)
  • Aisha: Ugh, what an awful explosion. You can feel the impact even from this far...!

  • Elesis: Ugh, cough. Is everyone alright?
  • Rena: Uuhh, I'm not hurt, but I feel nauseous....
  • Noah: Where did that massive attack come from? It wasn't the airship ahead.
  • Ara: It was from the fortress in the sky! I saw long ray of light pass by as it sweeps across the land.
  • Zero: Good thing we swerved. If we got hit, we would have exploded with the ship.
  • Ara: It was a very good judgment!
  • Zero: But we can't celebrate yet! With the sudden drop to the energy output, we can't get the speed we need. We won't be able to catch up to the ship!
  • Rose: ... Our only option is to directly strike the airship.
  • Ciel: Are you out of your mind? Lu is on that ship!
  • Rose: I'm not saying to explode the ship. Wouldn't that airship also have the same AI as this one?
  • Rose: If we lower the energy output by damaging the ship, it will slow down until we can catch up.
  • Eve: ... We don't have much time. According to the map the Torta Dream Demons gave us, we will soon approach the barrier in the sky.
  • Noah: A barrier?
  • Eve: Yes. It says they tried shooting arrows as they couldn't approach it, but there was a zap and the arrow melted down.
  • Eve: Based on context, it seems the barrier they speak of here is an electric field.
  • Chung: The final protective shield. From what we saw of the attack from the island, they are definitely aware of the airship we're on.
  • Chung: Then they might attempt something that will prevent our ship from passing the final wall.
  • Noah: If we don't catch Lu before then, we may end up like that arrow.
  • Ciel: Damn it....
  • Ciel: ......We have no other choice. Let's do it. Hurry!
  • Eve: Once the attack starts, an impact like earlier will continue. Make sure to grab onto something and protect your head.

Only a step away from entering the Land of Steel, the El Search Party safely rescues Lu and regroup. As they take care of each other they head to the final gateway before entering Lu's home.

Quest Acceptance Dialogue
  • Lu: Ciel? Ciel!
  • Ciel: Lu! I'm glad you are safe. You're not hurt? No trouble walking?
  • Ciel: Come, look here. How many fingers am I holding up?
  • Lu: One. Huhuhu, Ciel, how about you? Now, tell me how many fingers I'm holding up.
  • Ciel: Three! More importantly, can you spin around for me? Mm, hm... other than some scratches here and there, you look alright. Stay still. I'll disinfect your wounds.
  • Lu: I had... two fingers...?
  • Elsword: Sis! Are you alright?! We're not too late, are we?
  • Elesis: You're just on time. Is everyone here?
  • Elsword: Yeah! What was that attack? Is this the final hurdle?
  • Elesis: Yup. Massive, isn't it? But after this, we should be able to enter the Land of Steel.
  • Rose: It was unbelievably complex and terrifying. I don't know who decided to build this, but they're definitely out of their mind.
  • Ain: You think it's that subordinate who betrayed Ms. Demon?
  • Lu: I thought that might be the case... But I am no longer sure. Barkat is very calculating, but he is not ambitious and likes to stay away from the spotlight. At least, as far as I know.
  • Lu: I do not think someone as calculating as him would have built something so immense and wasteful.
  • Ain: ... Is it actually possible to be calculative, but have no ambition, while staying out of the spotlight?
  • Rena: What I learned from that is Barkat has definitely been tricking Lu.
  • Ara: I'm glad everyone came back in one piece. How was it? Did you encounter the Order?
  • Aisha: Well....
  • Add: We did meet an Order member. He claims he provided the technology, and it didn't seem like he was lying.
  • Add: He is indirectly involved in the machinery, including the wall and building the overall system, but he's not the one responsible for actually building this place.
  • Ain: Then that over there is the only enemy we have left to face.
  • Aisha: Alright, let's go! Let's help Lu go back home!
Quest Completion Dialogue
  • (BEEP, BEEP, BEEEEEP....)
  • Eve: The magnetic field is coming down. Enemy silent!
  • Ain: Wouldn't the fortress attack again?
  • Zero: It should be fine for awhile since we stopped the one that was sending the signal.
  • Laby: Uwah... We made it! Can we go to Lu's land now?
  • Lu: .......
  • Ara: Look! How about we climb up over there? I think the entirety of Lu's land should be visible from that vantage point.
  • Laby: Laby wanna go too!
  • Elsword: Add. Are you alright? You seem to have another headache.
  • Add: It's fine now. It was temporary.
  • Elsword: Yeah? That's good....
  • Add: ...What. If you have something to say, get on with it.
  • Elsword: I mean... You seem to have a lot on your mind. And that guy acted like he knew something about you.
  • Add: I have a lot of things to contemplate.
  • Elsword: Yeah? Alright....
  • Add: .......
  • Add: ... Hold on a second... Are you suspecting me?
  • Elsword: Huh? What are you talking about?
  • Add: Are you suspecting I'm the traitor communicating with the Order right now?!
  • Elsword: What?! No! It's not like that!
  • Add: It's not like that? It's obvious what you're thinking!
  • Elsword: You? A traitor? A traitor wouldn't have fought together with us for years coming all the way to the Demon Realm!
  • Elsword: I thought you would be upset because you were beaten up, but you were so quiet. I was worried something was wrong, got a problem with that?
  • Add: Yeah, I was thinking about what went wrong after I was beaten up. Satisfied?
  • Add: You couldn't just let me wallow in my defeat? Or did you decide to come all the way here to taunt me for losing?
  • Elsword: What's your problem? I told you I was worried, you think I'm taunting you?
  • Elsword: I'll show you taunting!
  • Aisha: Argh! So loud! Are they fighting again? I'm just going to go see what's beyond the wall.
  • Ciel: Lu. Do you want to go see?
  • Lu: I should. Let's go together, Ciel.
  • Chung: How does it feel to go back home, Lu?
  • Lu: Hm, I'm not sure. What do you think?
  • Chung: If it were me, my heart would have beaten so hard from excitement. There's painful memories, and it won't be the same, but it's still where you were born and raised.
  • Lu: Yes, that sounds about right. But perhaps that's the reason why I feel more calm.
  • Rena: Lu! Everyone! You have to see this!
  • Lu: They don't have to hound on us, but I suppose we should get going.
  • Laby: Lu! Come on! Hurry!
  • Chung: Oh... Something's not right.
  • Eve: ... Moby, Remy, could you go check the perimeters?
  • Laby: Lu! Come and look! The ground...
  • Lu: ... There's nothing to be surprised about.
  • Aisha: What... is this?
  • Rose: It's so desolate...
  • BEBEEP....
  • Eve: ... Strange. A certain component is found at an abnormally high rate.
  • Lu: It's worse than what I remember.
  • Ain: We can't go ahead like this. What should we do?
  • Elesis: Hm. I think....
  • Elesis: We need to find a way to go up there.
  • Eve: ... The Sky Fortress.
