51-1 Voice 1  Gilgimus Rasputin is finished!

     Voice 2  Shogun!  Nereidou escaped to the open sea!

     Shogun   Leave him alone!

  -1 Mech 2   Ha?

  -2 Mech 1   Well, I suppose our goal is to attempt to the bitter end,
              the liberation of Verm.  And then expel the occupational
              Jipardo Forces!

     Mech 2   Bu... But.

     Mech 1   Dipshit!  It's pointless for the Official Army to do
              something that pleases the monsters in the Church!

  -3 Shogun   Anyway, we're not the ones in for the hard times.

  -4 Shogun   It's the damned shit priests.

53-1 Nayura   Hah (Focus sound used in the martial arts.)  DIE!

  -2          [Blast]

  -3          [Boom]

  -4          [Tap]

  -5 Menea    [Aha] Heh.  Looks like you've lived up to the reputation of
              the Sokaku (two-horned) People.  That spell's a hard trick,
              not everyone can do it.

54-1 Nayura   What!  You survived??

  -2 Nayura   Who on earth... is she!!?

  -3 Nayura   [Zip zip] Heh, in that case.

  -4          [Running]

  -5          [Blink]

55-1 Nayura   Hah.

  -3          [Strain]

  -4          You -- you BITCH --

56-1 Nayura   Grrr

  -2 Nayura   Katsu (Religious focussing word)

  -3 Menea    [Roar] Ugh

     Maharu   Ah!

  -4 Maharu   Stop this, sister!

  -5 Nayura   [Ahahaha] I WON'T stop.  This is just getting to be fun!

     Tsuki    Uh.

  -6          [Aha]

57-1          [Thrum]

  -2 Nayura   Here, young lady.  Really, who in the world ARE you.

  -3 Nayura   [Veeeee] Eh!

  -4 Nayura   [Whack] Erg!

  -5 Nayura   Who did that!

  -6 Nayura   Bitch!

     Tsuki    (Spell)

58-1 Nayura   However, to think that I'll be sealed, absurd, Absurd, ABSURD.
              I'll settle this with BOTH of you!

  -2 Menea    [Raise] .....

  -3          [Flick]

59-3          [Whew]

  -4 Menea    [A little tired...] Thank god that's over -- huh.

     Maharu   You killed her?

     Menea    Nah, she's ok.  I pulled my punch.

  -5 Tsuki    She overwhelmed the Sokaku...  This looks like Myuu's power
              must be very different (from that of my sects'.)

  -6 Nayura   [Stare] This can't be...  I was...

  -7 Nayura   Hah!

60-1          [Run]

  -2          [Grab]

  -3          [Flap]

  -4 Lucas    [Run] !  Menea!

  -5 Menea    Lucas?  You're slow.  Slow.

  -6 Maharu   If you let her talk to you like that, she won't respect you,
              buddy.

     Lucas    Who's the little kid?

61-1 Garman   Surrender Now!!!

  -2 Lucas    Still haven't learned, have you, old man?

  -3 Garman   Heh, of course not.
              I'll take care of everyone at once!!

  -4          [Whir]

  -5 Garman   Myuu woman, come with me!

  -6 Garman   Otherwise...

62-1 Garman   There will be trouble!

  -2          [Metallic Clash]

  -4          [Rumbling Roar]

63-1          [Pop]

  -2          [Shhh shhhh]

  -4 Menea    Trouble.

  -5 Layle    Menea.

  -6 Layle    You are ok.

  -7 Menea    Yes.

64-1 Nayura   Groan.

  -2 Menea    Ah!

     Nayura   [Push] !

     Menea    Good morning.

  -3          [Zip]

  -4          [Eeeeeeee]

  -7          (Spell)

65-2          [Fssh]

  -3 Menea    That's good.

  -4 Tsuki    The Law of Sealing is extremely difficult to perform; even
              for Karma, my father...  and she makes it look so easy...
              Menea Rupar is a frightening girl...

  -5 Tsuki    And what of this Winged Night Masquer...

     Lucas    Tristan!

  -6 Lucas    I'm sure it's Tristan...  Why is my Night Masquer here?
