"They say that the god of space created the stars." "If so, then we humans... no, the origin of life itself... who created that?" "Does everything come into existence only from destruction?" "If so, then humans need to fight on forever." "Because of that, I wonder how many short-lived lives have disappeared in this space." "Enemy fleet sighted ahead of us." "Distance: 2800." "The entire fleet is around 15,000 strong." "The Aristocratic Alliance's fleets are approaching." "Distance is 2500." "1500 until our effective range." "Vetti-sama." "Your orders please." "I could see it." "Pardon?" "Our victory." "As of now, I will be commanding in Vetti-sama's stead." "All ships, prepare for battle." "Prepare to fire!" "Fire!" "First and Second Fleet, prepare to commence battle on the port side." "All gun turrets, turn to port!" "Fire!" "Launchers armed." "Good." "All gun ports, fire!" "The third and fifth warships have taken damage." "The flagship has taken a direct hit aft and has caught fire." "The enemy's Third Fleet has been sunk." "It's just as we had planned." "Change target to Korreli." "A-An enemy squadron has been spotted approaching from the port side!" "The enemy's First and Fifth Fleet have been completely wiped out." "The Third and Seventh Fleets have started evacuating, too." "We will drive the enemy fleets back." "All ships, move ahead!" "Fire, fire, and show no mercy!" "Enemy ships are retreating." "The Fourteenth Fleet has been sunk." "Our last line of defense has been breached." "Your Excellency, make a decision." "Fireworks..." "Set off the fireworks." "That's the sign of surrender." "Damn you, Vetti." "Bastard, you still call yourself an aristocrat?" "!" "During the last twenty years, where have the Aristocratic Alliance been leading us?" "Using their prerogative as aristocrats, they lined their own pockets and squandered away precious resources." "However, thanks to your heroic actions, we have vanquished those who have become corrupted and evil!" "However, I don't think the galaxy will recover by itself." "Everything depends on everyone's efforts." "It will rely on our nation, and its people!" "Why is this so?" "It's because the future of our galaxy exists only within us." "And today, right here," "I will declare the establishment of a new empire which will unite the galaxy." "But, I understood." "This was not the dawn of peace, only the beginning of yet another era of disorder." "In order to open up this enclosed world, the era needed a savior." "The same goes for me as well." "In the beginning there was the God of the Black Cross." "God created the Earth and the Heaven." "The Earth was shapeless, empty and engulfed in pitch darkness." "God said, "Let there be light."" "That light sundered the darkness." "He named it "day" where light shined throughout and named it "night" where light was absent, in turn creating dusk and dawn." "That was the first day of creation." "Like the love that the God of the Black Cross offers us, we offer thee our love." "If thou fail to abide by our teachings, thou shalt no longer receive our love." "We abide by the teachings of the God of the Black Cross, and thus, we are loved by him." "Like the love we offer thee, thou need'st but learn to love others." "Now, in accordance with our old customs," "I shalt hold a wedding ceremony." "From this endless darkness, we beckon to thee." "Our wish is for thee to hear our voice." "I hope that thine voice will be the voice that brings about our wish." "Even as thou lay thine eyes on the various vices, we hope that thou art able to stand firm." "We are anticipating the appearance of the savior." "Due to those words, we have regained hope." "The anticipation our soul has for the savior is stronger then the anticipation for tomorrow, for the hero who shall protect thee, will protect thee from now, till eternity..." "By custom, please leave proof of the Nerkia and Rodnay rule here." "Finally, the time has come for the weaving skills that we, the people of Nerkia, possess to be used together with the wool that the people of Rodnay possess." "How long have I been waiting for this day?" "Bask in the light of happiness that the cross radiates." "Tonight, the two of you shall get together for a promise that shall last forever." "Any objection?" "If you don't have any objections, please reply by remaining silent." "Then, commence the ritual of kissing." "Objection!" "The time has arrived!" "Ye must know." "Ye must know that for ye prosperity, the people have cried for many years." "Ye must know about the blood they shed, their tears and their pain." "Bishop, what are you saying?" "Be silent!" "We are..." "The People's Army, I am Michel Volban!" "All troops, head forth!" "To the comrades I love," "I came here in order to tell you the truth." "Listen to me if your heart is willing." "In the past, the self proclaimed Emperor, Vetti Sfolza once said," ""The future of our galaxy exists only within us."" "But the thing that lurks in his heart, is the unsatisfied desire that he has intoxicated himself with." "We won't kill you unless you resist." "Allowing aristocrats who are the minority to grow fat and ugly, yet letting the rest of the people die as slaves... who hopes for that?" "Please surrender quickly." "I love the galaxy." "For that reason, I will win freedom back!" "Everybody, we'll defeat the aristocrats with our own hands!" "The ports and residential areas are now under our control." "Good." "We've secured the power part as well." "I see." "Thanks for everything." "They're weaker than I thought." "It's strange..." "I have just received a report." "We, the People's Army have gained complete control over Nerkia and Rodnay." "But comrades." "I didn't come here to release you." "We can't force and drag you to be part of this chaotic battle." "However if you are willing to fight with us as comrades, then comrade, I'll promise... that we'll forge a future that coexists with your bravery!" "Michel, Michel, Michel..." "That was impressive, Michel-sama." "You must be tired." "Yes, thank you." "Th-This is..." "This is bad!" "A fleet from the Holy Imperial Forces is approaching!" "What?" "The first wave of attacks was successful." "Makone-sama, your orders please." "Don't disturb me while I'm having dinner, just do whatever you think is appropriate." "Yes, sir." "Ready the main battery." "Target:" "Nerkia-Rodnay." "Fire!" "Th-This is different from what they said!" "Don't damage our territories." "Fireworks, the fireworks!" "Crimson Virginia, grant me power." "Michel-sama, please hurry." "Yes." "Silua, what are you doing?" "Ah... yes." "Everyone, meet up with the main force!" "Indeed, it was a trap." "Theodoric!" "Huh?" "It's bad, its an ambush by the Imperial Forces." "What!" "Did our strategy leak out?" "Those who are available, please use these ships to engage in the upcoming battle!" "Yes!" "Launch immediately!" "Our ship will go as well!" "Leave the main dish alone." "If anything happens to Michel, I'll be punished!" "Fire!" "Why?" "Why aren't they attacking my ship?" "How weak." "It disgusts me to hear this nonsense about a savior." "The enemy fleet is trying to surround our ship." "So this is what it's all about..." "Mi-Michel-sama." "There's a bracelet at three o'clock!" "What?" "There's a transmission from Michel!" ""The main force is to return to headquarters."" "Is that a joke?" "We should be helping!" "Yes." "Please wait." "We can't be annihilated here." "As Michel says, let's run." "Are you saying to leave Michel stranded?" "Those bastards are targeting me." "I will be a decoy." "What can a single person do?" "I have a plan." "Okay." "Everybody, we are going to leave this area at full speed!" "Yes!" "The main force of the People's Army have started escaping." "Leave it alone." "Our only target is Michel." "Michel-sama." "I have received the last transmission from the main force." ""Return alive."" "We shall lure the enemy fleet into the bracelet!" "The enemy's ship is now quiet." "They seem to intend to surrender." "If they had intentions to do that, wouldn't it be better if they had done that from the start." "Ma-Makone-sama." "It's bad!" "A bracelet is approaching!" "Maintain position!" "Don't go against the stream!" "Quickly, do something!" "Jean!" "Jean!" "Hang in there, Jean." "Are you okay?" "Yes, Michel-sama." "Silua." "I am fine." "Turn around!" "180 degrees!" "Retreat at full speed!" "We can't." "Due to the crash earlier, the engine is..." "What?" "There's a transmission from the enemy." "Surrender quickly or we will sink your ship." "They're mistaken if they think they can escape." "Tell them," ""If you can safeguard the lives of the others, I will surrender."" "I won't do that!" "You are the savior of the People's Army." "That's right!" "Even if you surrender, this ship will still be attacked." "Let's fight, Michel-sama." "Don't!" "It's useless to continue fighting." "Then, I will go with you." "Me, too." "Be quick..." "The both of you, I hope that you can understand." "Let this be my last act of selfishness." "Michel-sama..." "Michel-sama!" "Michel-sama!" "It's the signal of surrender." "Good judgement." "I shall see for myself the true character of the person that Vetti-sama wishes to recruit." "Is this the end?" "As I thought, a savior is necessary for the People's Army." "Not me, but a real savior." "A shooting star?" "Makone-sama!" "It was the encounter with you." "That was when everything started." "Creo."
