p66
SIGNAL
Wah!

QUARTER
Give up, even if the bars are cut, they will still electro-shock you if you 
try to get out.

ORATORIO
It's bad!  He's going to fry to death!

CODE
Signal!


p67
SIGNAL
I can't allow it!  I can't give up!  I cannot lose!


p68
QUARTER
!?  He's transformed back into his original form?


p69
ORACLE
Signal!

SIGNAL
<huh...strange?  My whole body feels powerless!   Umph...urgh!


p70
QUARTER
I get it...you used up your power to get out.  The prison bars sapped it 
all, so your body couldn't hold the transformation any longer and turned 
you back into your original form.  Painful isn't it, Signal?  I'm afraid 
you can't even move now.

CODE
We can only watch but not help.

ORACLE
Code!  Signal was able to get out, now you should think of some way to help 
him!

CODE
It's impossible to!


p71
ORACLE
Do you want to watch him die?

CODE
I never said that.  As long as we're in here, we have no way of helping him. 
If all he really wants is the secret data, then he won't destroy us or 
Signal.

ORACLE
Mmm...I never thought I'ld ever be in this position of just watching him get 
away with it...I can't stand it!

ORATORIO
I feel the same way!  Oracle, I never thought that we'ld ever be this 
pathetic.


p72
ORATORIO
However, don't think you're going to get away with this!  Don't look down 
on cyberspace's security guard - Oratorio.  Next time, you'll pay!

QUARTER
!!?


p73
QUARTER
Impossible!  While I was paying attention to Signal, control of cyberspace 
has been taken away from me!

ORATORIO
Not bad...this is just a sample of my power.  But...I wasn't able to close 
off his escape route...

ORACLE
Oratorio!

ORATORIO
My power...I have reached my limit...I'm sorry, from now on, you're on your 
own...

ORACLE
Oratorio!


p74
CODE
Oratorio!

SIGNAL
Oratorio?

CODE
That idiot!  He never even considered the consequences if his control of the 
computer network slips and he can't maintain his integrity...he may not be 
able to return to his body!


p75
SIGNAL
He can't return?

QUARTER
<If this keeps up, even my escape route will be destroyed!  I underestimated 
them, but I already have accomplished my mission.>


p76
SIGNAL
Trying to escape, huh...Since Oratorio sacrificed himself to stop you, I 
can't let you escape!


p77
QUARTER
How kind of you, but you should save your strength!  How can you even think 
of stopping me is your present condition?  Hmph, I'll be leaving now.


p78
SIGNAL
He's escaping!


p79
CODE
Signal!  Catch!


p80
ORACLE
<That's Sasameyuki.  Anything that sword touches would be instantly 
destroyed!


p81
QUARTER
What the?

SIGNAL
Haa!

QUARTER
Mph...


p82
ORACLE
No effect?

CODE
That can't be, Sasameyuki is my most powerful weapon!

QUARTER
Thank goodness I thought to prepare for Sasemeyuki's attack formulas.  Too 
bad, Signal.


p83
SIGNAL
No, don't speal so early...the winner has yet to be determined!

QUARTER
!?  The sword's shape is...
