Fusion Suncia Panthera: Nelpha! It really is you! To think we'd meet in a place like this... Nelpha Maxi: Lord Suncia... I have no right to face you. I failed to protect Lord Nuxma... Suncia Panthera: Don't say that! I’m sure my brother was happy to have earned the loyalty of a warrior like you. Suncia Panthera: Nelpha Maxi, would you consider pledging your loyalty to the Empire once more? Nelpha Maxi: Lord Suncia… Nelpha Maxi: Back off. If you point your weapons at Lord Suncia, I'll kill every one of you. Eleu Coge: Go ahead and try, small fry. Balaeno: Should I switch targets to Nelpha and provide backup? Eleu Coge: No. Keep your aim on Suncia. Balaeno: I recommend withdrawal. Counting the Echo Knights, we're at a disadvanta… Balaeno: ...........! Eleu Coge: What is it? Balaeno: Detecting heat sources and moving bodies in the surrounding area. Identification code cross-reference complete. Balaeno: Confirmed as allied units. Amiya Rai: Eleu! Are you all right?! Eleu Coge: Amiya! Nelpha Maxi: Tch...! Federation forces! [Nelpha fires his gun.] Amiya Rai: Fire! [Gunshots and sword clashes] Lklein Manni: ...! The battle's begun! Tauran Tiaca: Get down, Lklein! Vice-Captain Suncia! At this rate the wounded will be hit! Suncia Panthera: Understood! You lot, draw the Federation west! Echo Knight: Understood, Vice-Captain Suncia! Amiya Rai: Suncia... Oh yeah, the second son of House Panthera, isn't it? It’s an honor to meet you. Suncia Panthera: Likewise, Amiya Rai. How does it feel, having the leader's seat taken from you? Amiya Rai: Couldn't be better. Especially since I was the one pushing hardest for Euro to become the leader. Suncia Panthera: Sour grapes! Amiya Rai: It's the truth, though. Suncia Panthera: (Suncia's Arca Song) Amiya Rai: (Amiya's Arca Song) [Weapons clashing] Suncia Panthera: ...! Not bad. A chakram wielder, huh. Amiya Rai: You're not so bad yourself…Wh...! Suncia Panthera: ...........? Balaeno: Hup. [SLASH!] Suncia Panthera: Wh...! WHOA...! Balaeno: Assault failed. Continuing retry. Echo Knight: Lord Suncia! Protect Lord Suncia! Echo Knight: That kid, what a leap... I thought he'd fallen straight out of the sky. [Elsewhere, in the village…] Airio Sis: ...Hah, ugh...! Tauran Tiaca: Airio, what do you want? Airio Sis: ...Hah, ahh...! I don't... I don't know... Am I gonna be a burden just like Dad? Airio Sis: I don't want to be… a burden... but...! Airio Sis: I'm scared to die like this... ...I'm scared...! Airio Sis: ...Guh...I wanna live... I don't wanna die...! Tauran Tiaca: I understand. Don't forget that feeling. Keep holding onto it, no matter what. Airio Sis: ...I don't wanna die, I don't wanna die, I wanna live, I wanna live, I wanna live! Tauran Tiaca: That's it. Hold onto that feeling, and command the Echoes with it. Tauran Tiaca: Sing your Arca Song. Don't let the world's darkness consume you. Make the world submit to you! Airio Sis: Ah... Airio Sis: (Airio's Arca Song) Lklein Manni: ...........! Lklein Manni: The Echoes born from the darkness are fusing into Airio... Tauran Tiaca: ...This might just work. Tauran Tiaca: Lklein. Prepare a clean space and some cloth. Lklein Manni: Understood! Airio Sis: ...Ngh... uugh... Lklein Manni: Airio, hang in there… [Lklein runs…] To be continued...
