20 17 301 Gabriel is making his way forward through the dark sewers, heavily injured.

22 19 301 1 α You rely too much on Ascnet and have forgotten the most important aspect of combat. 1
23 20 202 1
24 21 301 She splashes through the tunnel, heading toward him.
25 22 201 1 500100
26 23 301 1 α You may be strong, but it all counts for nothing if you can't hit your target. 1
27 24 301 α And now, you're heading back to that agent to beg for his help. 1
28 25 202 1
29 26 301 Alpha draws her katana and cold glint dances along the length of the blade, reflecting the glistening light.
30 27 201 1 500100
31 28 301 1 α I won't let you escape again. 1
32 29 202 1
33 30 301 Gabriel How... foolish...
34 31 201 1 500179
35 32 301 1 With some difficulty, Gabriel uses his cane to prop himself up.
36 33 301 Gabriel Humans and their despicable behavior have always been the bane of our existence. If we do not turn to the great power of the Ascension-Network for help, how would the world be saved? 1
37 34 201 1 500100
38 35 301 1 α The purpose of the filtering is to allow qualified seeds to live on. But you devoured them to steal their power for yourself. 1
45 42 301 RImgBg1Shake 1 She does not wait for a response, and flashes over to Gabriel and brings her blade down on his cane, sending sparks flying that reflect in Alpha's eyes like angry embers. 1 2
67 64 301 PanelActor2Shake 1 Just as Gabriel is about to retaliate, she abruptly changes her position and drives her blade sideways into the back of his shoulder.

70 67 301 1 Gabriel Arrrrrrrgh—! 2
71 68 202 2 1
72 69 301 The blade has damaged the body he is so proud of, but no liquid flows from the metal. Gabriel staggers, and swings his cane in Alpha's direction with his working arm.
74 71 301 Their weapons clash again, and Gabriel's first three quick strikes are blocked by the katana. Just before Gabriel can deliver his final pulverizing swing, however, Alpha flashes out of range.
75 72 201 1 500179
76 73 301 1 Gabriel Haven't you learned your lesson from what happened in the Arctic? 1
77 74 301 Gabriel Only those with sufficient power have the right to forge the world of tomorrow. 1
78 75 201 1 500100
79 76 301 1 α But there is absolutely nothing in your world tomorrow. 1
80 77 202 1 1
81 78 301 Alpha responds as she stabs at Gabriel's chest from the right. He quickly flies up, avoiding the attack, though the low ceiling limits his movement.
82 79 201 1 500100
83 80 301 1 α The main reason Luna wants to move the filtering forward is because she believes it's the only way to preserve the lives of at least some people. 1
84 81 301 α When the filtering is complete, the weak will be corrupted by the Punishing Virus, while the Ascendants will bring a new beginning to the world. 1
85 82 301 α Although I have no interest in the filtering, nor in Ascnet, I support the future she's chosen. 1
86 83 301 α And you... you're just a lunatic who claims to serve Ascnet and the filtering, but really just wants to consolidate power for himself. 1
87 84 301 α How are you any different from the humans? 1
88 85 202 1 1
89 86 301 She sheathes her katana and strides toward Gabriel, concentrating all her energy into the tip of her blade.
90 87 201 1 500179
91 88 301 1 Gabriel If we get more power from the Ascension-Network, the humans will have no choice but to surrender! To reach this goal, any sacrifice is worth it. 1
92 89 201 1 500100
93 90 301 1 α A despot with an insatiable craving for power has but one end—to be torn apart by those under your thumb. 1
94 91 301 α I'll say this again. The road you've chosen has but one ending—absolutely nothing! 1
95 92 201 1 500179
96 93 301 1 Gabriel It seems we can't come to a consensus. Well then, give me everything you've got! 1
97 94 301 Gabriel Just as how I loathe your ridiculous feelings, you too wish to deny my ideals and aspirations. 1
99 96 301 Red circuits course through Gabriel's body, turning his wings blood red. As he hovers, each flap of his wings causes the unstable walls around them to tremble.
100 97 301 Gabriel I stake everything on my burning ambition—! 1
103 100 301 RImgBg1Shake The red light bursts outward, causing the surrounding walls to collapse in the smoke and harsh light. It is difficult to dodge a devastating move in the confines of a narrow space, so there is only one possible ending.
104 101 301 Gabriel looks down at the dust and smoke, thinking of what someone told him.
105 102 201 1 500179
106 103 301 1 Gabriel ...I'll prove with my actions that you were wrong. 1
107 104 202 1 1
108 105 301 Just as he is turning around to leave, a multitude of shimmering blade-like beams bursts forth from where Gabriel's attacks were concentrated, shooting toward the gloating "angel" high above.
109 106 301 AniZhuanchangBegin The beams tear through him, sending him plummeting.
129 126 301 AniZhuanchangEnd While no one may know from whence the wind blows, or where it is headed, there will always be traces of what existed here.
130 127 301 1 AniZhuanchangBegin After Alpha has disappeared into the distance, a golden-eyed girl quietly hugs the head that once stored Gabriel's memory...
