Armored Core VI: Fist of Rubicon - [God Gundam] Ch04 M32 - Reach the Coral Convergence

Handler Walter: "...He took his colleague's sins upon himself and set it all ablaze...Died with no regrets... There's a lesson in this story. Once something's alive, it doesn't die easy. 621. Story time's over. It's time for work." COM: "End of message." Domon Kasshu: "...That was strange. Why did that old man just randomly send a message like that?" Rain Mikamura: "But Domon, that story he said...Doesn't that seem familiar to you? To me it almost like he was narrating what happened in those strange dreams..." Domon Kasshu: "And where Professor Nagai kills Assistant No.1....Atleast I think that's who that scientist guy was based on the logs we found and Walter-san's story. But that's not what I meant. I mean, why would he tell us something so cryptic all of a sudden in a message and nothing else?" Ayre: "Walter certainly sounded different from usual. If anything, I've never heard him speak with any motion like I heard him just now. It's almost as if..." Rain Mikamura: "...As if he's leaving a Will..." Domon Kasshu: "Wait....Hey, this is not funny! Is he planning to just off himself all of a sudden!? No way! There's no freaking way I'll accept you taking the easy way out old man! Where is he, anyway!? Did he go out to that huge city!?" Rain Mikamura: "He said he had some preparations he needed to make and left early. He took his personal quadcopter." Domon Kasshu: "That's it! I'm heading out! I'll find him with the God Gundam!" Ayre: "Wait! Raven! It's okay! I've got Walter on the shelter's external sensors. He just landed and is about to come in." Handler Walter: "621, Mikamura. I see you're ready to sortie. Good." Domon Kasshu: "Jeez. You had us going out of our minds, old man! Going off alone like that...What if Arquebus or some other crazy merc grabbed you." Handler Walter: "There's no need to worry. Everything's prepared. I'll brief you both now." Rain Mikamura: "Right now? But you just got back." Handler Walter: "This is not a request from the corps or the Liberation Front. This one's personal." Domon Kasshu: "Alright, we're listening. We're close to the Coral now, aren't we, Walter-san?" Handler Walter: "You saw the ruins. Institute City...The mausoleum of the sinners who caused the Fires of Ibis. The Coral's right there. Waiting..." * * * * Institute City. Uncharted territory, Watchpoint Alpha G3 Wu Huahai: "NRGH!!!...Rear guard, bring your SENTRYs to the front line and focus on those snipers! MTs already in the frontline, cover them!" Arquebus MT1: "Shut it, Redgun! We don't take orders from you!" Arquebus SENTRY1: "We know what we're doing!" Arquebus MT2: "You're just a tick that latched on to us because Balam got wiped out! Just stay quiet and follow YOUR orders!" G3 Wu Huahai: "Oh, by all means! Don't let me get in your way....Ngh! Tch!" V.VI Maeterlinck: "V.II Snail, come in. Requesting backup. We have insufficient force to ensure success." G3 Wu Huahai: "These Institute relics are such pests." Arquebus SENTRY2: "Update from HQ: Raven's arrival is imminent. Continue with the plan." Arquebus SENTRY1: "If he even makes it here. Him alone against these Institute drones--...Huh? What the.. a giant hand....!?" V.VI Maeterlinck: "INCOMING! GAHAH!?" Arquebus SENTRY 1: "AAARRGGGH!" Arquebus MT1: "N-..NO...!" G3 Wu Huahai: "Did I....misread the signs?" V.VI Maeterlinck: "Urgh...V.II Snail, come in. Friendly AC down. Requesting backup! What!? He's so fast...!? No....! Please....Snail...Come in..." Domon Kasshu: "Sorry about this." Ayre: "The Arquebus AC squad has been eliminated." Handler Walter: "Secure the area, 621." * * * * At the Vascular Plant... Ayre: " * gasp * This lake...It's all..." Handler Walter: "...Here we are, 621." Domon Kasshu: "We've made it, Ayre. We've found your family." Rain Mikamura: "Domon, I'm coming with the supply sherpa. On your right." Handler Walter: "Arquebus will be here soon... Investigate before they arrive." Domon Kasshu: "You heard him, Rain. Just the basic armor repairs are enough." Rain Mikamura: "Running repair protocols." Domon Kasshu: "Now find a place to hide. Sorry, but I'm going alone. I have no idea what's going to happen once the God Gundam touches that lake full of Coral." Rain Mikamura: "But....!...I...understand. Domon, please be careful!" Domon Kasshu: "Watch my back. Now...Going down!" Handler Walter: "The Coral's rising... It's building up faster than I'd expected." ???: [[ LEAVE! NOW! ]] Handler Walter: "Wait. Something's coming!" Ayre: "Unidentified machine overhead!" Domon Kasshu: "It's....THAT one! From my dream!" ???: [[ YOU HURT US!... GO AWAY!... LEAVE!... SCARY!... DANGER!... GO AWAY! ]] Domon Kasshu: "These voices...! Ayre...!" Ayre: "No...My brothers...Sisters! We're not here to hurt you! Please don't fight us!" ???: [[ SCARY!... FAMILY!...PROTECT!...MUST...DIE! ]] Domon Kasshu: "Dammit! I'm sorry, Ayre. But we need to beat some sense into them first! GUNDAM FIGHT! Readyyyy! GO!"
