Valdi[edit]
Sena
Probably shouldn't be climbing up this one, huh...
Taion
But, this is the route Ethel told us to take, no question.
Mio
Well, I guess that means...
We'll just, uh...have to keep going then.
We'll just, uh...have to keep going then.
Someone is watching the party from the top of the cliff.
???
[Hey, Valdi? Where are you?]
Valdi
Huh? Outside the colony.
???
[Well yeah, I know that!]
[It's bad. The Consul's searching for you.]
[It's bad. The Consul's searching for you.]
Valdi
Gotcha.
Just make up something.
Just make up something.
???
[Sorry? "Make up"?!]
Noah
Let's look for a place we can climb from. I'll take a look around here.
Eunie
OK, I'll check out over here...
A Velites Levnis lands in front of Eunie. An Equites Levnis is pursuing Manana.
Eunie
Oh, crap.
Noah
Guys, get back!
They run to reunite. The Levnises pursue them. Valdi stands at the top of one of them and summons his Blade.
Valdi
Ouroboros! Fight me!
The music stops. Manana runs towards Valdi with an angry look.
Manana
That was close call! Almost flattened like buttery pancake!
Valdi sends his Blade away.
Valdi
Ah, sorry.
Manana
Apology grudgingly accepted.
Valdi
Hey... Are you Ouroboros too?
Manana
Factually untrue. Manana is just Manana.
Valdi
Ahh, that's a relief! I really didn't want to have to fight a Nopon.
Oh... Valdi, by the way.
If I may?
Oh... Valdi, by the way.
If I may?
Manana
Mmeh? Is pleasu-
Taion sends the Mondo towards Valdi.
Taion
What are you guys doing?!
Taion and Lanz attack Valdi, who falls off his Levnis.
Valdi
Woohoohoo! That was awesome!
Lanz
We're the ones you've got beef with. Come on, bring it!
Valdi
Hehe... You can't beat me.
Here I come!
Here I come!
Defeat the Mystery Keves Unit[edit]
Valdi
Whoa. The joints are all burned out... And the state of this armor...
Hey, show me that again!
Hey, show me that again!
Lanz
Show you what?
Valdi
Those moves you pulled!
I've never seen anyone smash up a Levnis like that! I need to figure out how you guys managed to do it.

Riku
Nothing to observe.
Frame was structurally poor. Evident that driving wheel could not withstand torque.
Frame was structurally poor. Evident that driving wheel could not withstand torque.
Valdi
The driving wheel, you say...
I wonder if it's because it was upgraded from lightweight to a more heavy assault style?
Did I mess up the handling? But the armor had to withstand a charge, I had to fudge the weight to keep a good turning circle...

Riku
...
Valdi
Yes... You're absolutely right!
I can't believe you could tell with just one look! Hey, would you teach me everything you know?
I can't believe you could tell with just one look! Hey, would you teach me everything you know?
Riku
Noah...
Noah
Uh... Who exactly are you?
Valdi
Oh, I'm Valdi. Levnis builder from Colony 30!
I heard that anyone who defeats you gets a whole buttload of supplies from the Castle as a reward...
But eh, you won, so it's all good.

But eh, you won, so it's all good.
Lanz
Oh yeah, everything's just hunky-dory! What the snuff are you playing at?!
Valdi
Not playing anything!
Noah
You're really a mechanic? From Colony 30?
Who's the commander for that one again?
Who's the commander for that one again?
Valdi
Oh yeah, that would be me.
Lanz
Pull the other one!
Valdi
Wow, don't look so surprised!
Taion
I did hear that Colony 30's commander was the greatest mechanic in Keves...
Valdi
Not sure I would say "greatest", but I am bonkers about Levnises!
Valdi receives an Iris call.
Yuzet
Valdi!
Valdi
Hey, Yuzet! What's up?
Yuzet
Surely that's my line?!
The Levnis signal just cut out... What happened?!
The Levnis signal just cut out... What happened?!
Valdi
Oh, it just got a bit bashed about. Everything's fine. I'll be back home soon.
Valdi hangs up.
Sena
You're going back alone?
Valdi
Huh?
Sena
I... I was just wondering how you expect to manage that.
Valdi
Oh.
Oh, it's fine. The Colony's not that far away.
I'll just cannibalize these bits and pieces into a new Levnis, quick as you like.
Oh, it's fine. The Colony's not that far away.
I'll just cannibalize these bits and pieces into a new Levnis, quick as you like.
Mio
That'd take so much salvaging...
Valdi
Oh, huh.
...Ahaha, maybe I can't do it alone...?
...Ahaha, maybe I can't do it alone...?
Noah
...How did I know it would come to this?
Lanz
Ehhh... Guess we'll do your grunt work.
All right, hit us. What's the shopping list?
All right, hit us. What's the shopping list?
Valdi
You'd really help me?!
Lanz
Well we're not gonna leave you alone to fend for yourself...
Valdi
Thank you so much, large man!
Lanz
Lanz, man. ...I mean, Lanz.
Valdi
Then Lanz I shall call you! Let's get cracking!
I'll send the likeliest sites for debris to your Iris.
I'll send the likeliest sites for debris to your Iris.
Valdi has temporarily joined the party.
Look for parts[edit]
Lanz
Valdi, my pal... Anyone ever tell you you're a bit of an oddball?
Valdi
Hmm, I dunno! If you say so though!
Gather the Levnis Endoskeleton at Laprel Knoll[edit]
Valdi
Right up ahead! We might find a nice haul where we fought before!
Eunie
You're a bit too enthusiastic about this. Didn't that one come from your place?
Interact with the gathering point.
Valdi
Yeah... This is looking good!
But man, even so...
Seeing all this Levnis wreckage...
But man, even so...
Seeing all this Levnis wreckage...
Mio
That's how battle always feels after. Just sad.
Valdi
Yeah, pretty tragic.
Makes me wanna fix 'em all right back up.
Makes me wanna fix 'em all right back up.
Lanz
Look here, you...
Valdi
Listen... I had this injury once. It really did a number on me, physically and mentally.
That's when my masterpon told me-
That's when my masterpon told me-
Lanz
Wait, "masterpon"?
Valdi
Oh, it's Nopon for "really great person"!
So anyway, my masterpon told me this:
"Be a friend to all, and an enemy of none."
So anyway, my masterpon told me this:
"Be a friend to all, and an enemy of none."
Sena
Be a friend to all...?
Valdi
Yeah. I guess after that...seeing wrecked Levnises got me thinking about stuff.
A little elbow grease and I could just get them back on their feet.
My pals here wouldn't want me to give up on them either.
A little elbow grease and I could just get them back on their feet.
My pals here wouldn't want me to give up on them either.
Mio
You're very sweet.
Valdi
Ah, don't get me wrong.
It's just that as a mechanic, you can't start getting moody just because something's broken.
"Not all wars are fought on the battlefield," right?

"Not all wars are fought on the battlefield," right?
Riku
That gauntlet... Valdi built it by self?
Valdi
This? My masterpon gave this to me. To celebrate my recovery!
Riku
...
Valdi
Caught your eye, has it? You wanna see more?
Riku
No... No special interest.
Valdi
C'mon, don't be shy now!
Riku
Riku is not shy!
Lanz
What I'm getting from all this is that you really like this "masterpon" of yours, huh.
Valdi
Yeah. He was really harsh on me sometimes, but he was ten times the mechanic I could ever be!
Manana
If compare masterpon and Riku, who is most excellent?
Valdi
Hm, good question. I think that your friend here has a keen eye.
You know, I would love to get to speak with him...
You know, I would love to get to speak with him...
Riku
Secrets of Riku are closely guarded.
Valdi
You don't say! I can't wait!
Riku
...Friend even listening to Riku?
Levnis Endoskeleton obtained.
Noah
A little elbow grease, huh... I think I get how Valdi feels.
Eunie
You reckon? You sure he doesn't just have Levnises on the brain?
Gather the Levnis Self-Charger at Caitlin Drum[edit]
Mio
Huh...? That noise...! I think there's a Levnis nearby!
Valdi
I'd recognize that engine sound anywhere... It's an Equites!
Valdi
Ah!
There! I want the parts from that big guy!
There! I want the parts from that big guy!
Manana
Which big guy?
Valdi
The Kevesi... Wait.
The damage to the leg here... I fixed this, not long ago. It was from another colony...
The damage to the leg here... I fixed this, not long ago. It was from another colony...
The Kevesi Levnis defeats the Agnian forces.
Valdi
Ahh!
Manana
This horrible...
Valdi
Augh...
Manana
Valdi...OK?
Valdi
I get it... So this is how my Levnises have been treated...
Lanz
Sorry to rush you, mate, but we don't have time to be standing around.
Valdi
Huh? What's happening?
Mio
Well, we are outlaws, so...
Noah
They've marked us all as a target.
Valdi
What?!
Lanz
Gotta do what you gotta do. Let's get this over with!
Defeat the Equites and obtain the Levnis Self-Charger.
Taion
I noticed something... Valdi didn't look at us and call us "monsters" or anything.
Noah
I guess the Consul hasn't interfered with his Iris. Not sure why, though...
Gather the Levnis Auxiliary CPU at Terra Wastelands[edit]
Valdi
Look! Here it is!
I've got a bunch of goodies stashed inside!
I've got a bunch of goodies stashed inside!
Noah
What is this place?
Valdi
It's just where I stored some of the junk I've picked up.
Can't keep it all at the colony. You know how it is.
Can't keep it all at the colony. You know how it is.
Taion
I see. So you're recycling the parts as you deem necessary.
Valdi
Yeah, the supplies from the Castle just aren't gonna cut it.
We have a lot of very particular mechanics, and a lot of requests from the pilots to boot.
We even get commissioned to repair the Levnises from other colonies.

Manana
Seems like awful much effort for not much reward...
Valdi
Not true! We're having a blast with it!
Our Nopon are all highly skilled, and our lieutenant has a good head on his shoulders.
So, uh...remind me... What was it we were trying to do again?
Our Nopon are all highly skilled, and our lieutenant has a good head on his shoulders.
So, uh...remind me... What was it we were trying to do again?
Lanz
Picking up parts!
Valdi
Oh, yeah! Right!
Well...for the body, I'd need...
Ah! Something like this! Yeah, that fits the bill.
Well...for the body, I'd need...
Ah! Something like this! Yeah, that fits the bill.
Eunie
Is this guy really cut out to be a commander?
Mio
He's a skilled mechanic for sure, but I imagine he gives his aides quite the headache...
Levnis Auxiliary CPU
Valdi
Nice! That should do us!
Noah
It could be risky to work on it here. How about that place we were at earlier?
Back to Elsie's Spout[edit]
Valdi
Thanks, guys. Looks like all the parts are accounted for.
This is enough to build a Levnis.
This is enough to build a Levnis.
Manana
What wrong, Valdi? Spirits seem middling to low.
Valdi
...
I thought that with a Levnis, I'd be able to protect my friends. That no one would have to get hurt.
But...just building them and fixing them up isn't going to make life rosy again.
My pals just do as they're ordered. They go out, they fight...and they hurt people.
And I'm the one responsible.
If you're gonna blame someone for causing all those casualties...blame me.

Riku
Valdi is doing perfectly normal job of mechanic. Issue of orders not your fault.
Valdi
But...
Lanz
This doesn't sit right with you, does it? So make something new.
Why d'you always have to make stuff for fighting? Why not try a different tack?
Why d'you always have to make stuff for fighting? Why not try a different tack?
Valdi
A different tack...?
Like, a Levnis, but not equipped for combat...?
Like, a Levnis, but not equipped for combat...?
Lanz
Obviously, I dunno the nitty-gritty, but I'm sure it's not totally off the table, right?
This ain't the time to give up. Right?
This ain't the time to give up. Right?
Valdi
Uh...!
Yeah!
Lanz, you couldn't be more right.
I shouldn't be led by the whims of others when I make my sweet little mecha.
Thanks, Lanz, and all of you.
I'll be back in a jiffy!
Yeah!
Lanz, you couldn't be more right.
I shouldn't be led by the whims of others when I make my sweet little mecha.
Thanks, Lanz, and all of you.
I'll be back in a jiffy!
Valdi builds a new Levnis.
Valdi
It's done!
Noah
Wow. That fast, huh.
Eunie
It's looking a little on the small side, no? Is that...how you wanted it?
Valdi
Yeah! He wouldn't last long in a real battle, but he can follow simple commands.
Right now, his only directive is to take care of me.
But that's just fine. He's a good guy.
Right now, his only directive is to take care of me.
But that's just fine. He's a good guy.
Lanz
Right then. Guess our job here's done, so...
Valdi
Yeah. Don't worry, I can get back home just fine on my own.
Consul Q
Oh, damn and blast. And I came all this way.
Valdi
Ah!
Mio
A Consul!
Consul Q
Pleased to make your acquaintance, Ouroboros.
Ah, fear not. I have no interest in stirring the pot.
I was simply curious as to why our dear Valdi hadn't returned.
You promised us you would build the ultimate Levnis, did you not? How much longer do you expect us to wait?
Ahh, you Agnian dogs... How I shall delight in crushing you beneath my boot!

Valdi
About that... Actually, I've decided to-
Consul Q
How many times must I say it? Games are for winning. That's what matters!
Consider. If we were to lose the initiative, *we* would be the ones trampled beneath *their* boots!
Consider. If we were to lose the initiative, *we* would be the ones trampled beneath *their* boots!
Valdi
Yes, but...
Consul Q
Ehhhhh... Valdi, my boy...
Who was it that said he'd be fine, so long as he could tinker away with Levnises?! Because I clearly remember those words!
If you've got time to be flapping those lips, you've got time to be working those hands.
Should you fail in your duty, I won't be held accountable for what happens to your friends in the colony...

Lanz
Snuff you, arsehole! The more that comes out of your gob, the more I wanna smack-
Valdi
Understood. I'm heading back.
Lanz
Valdi!
Valdi
Don't worry.
I've made up my mind.
I've made up my mind.
Valdi and the Consul leave.
Sena
Ultimate Levnis, he said... I'm a little worried now.
Taion
It's unlikely to bode well for us. Ideally, we'd want to prevent it being deployed in battle.
Sena
Oh yeah, there's that too... But I was more worried about how Valdi feels.
Lanz
He said he'd made up his mind.
Doesn't sound like he's gonna be finishing his ultimate anything to me. More like...
Doesn't sound like he's gonna be finishing his ultimate anything to me. More like...
Riku
He want to destroy it.
The Mini-Levnis runs away.
Lanz
Huh?!
Mio
It's going off on its own?
Riku
It following Valdi. Adhering to directive of "protect".
Lanz
Noah...
Noah
Yeah. We're following it.
The Battle with Consul Q[edit]
Consul Q and Valdi are in Colony 30, in front of an Incomplete Siege-Lev.
Consul Q
You've wasted time. I'm afraid you'll have to pick up the pace.
Because if you can't...
Well, you know the stakes.
The game will soon resume. We have precious little time.
Because if you can't...
Well, you know the stakes.
The game will soon resume. We have precious little time.
Consul Q walks away. Valdi places a hand on the Levnis.
Valdi
If I do as I'm told...
You'll...
You'll end up hurting so many people.
Don't worry.
I refuse to put you through that.
The next time we meet,
I'll make you into the best Levnis there ever was.
You'll...
You'll end up hurting so many people.
Don't worry.
I refuse to put you through that.
The next time we meet,

Valdi prepares to shoot the Levnis with his Blade. Consul Q teleports in front of him.
Consul Q
So that's the game we're playing, is it now?
Valdi
Huh?!
The Consul violently slaps Valdi. He falls on the ground and groans in pain. Consul Q kicks him, projecting him further away.
Consul Q
You little upstart!!!
The Consul walks to Valdi, catching his breath.
Consul Q
This is a case of falling in with the wrong crowd, isn't it?
I'm very disappointed.
I'm very disappointed.
The Consul teleports to the Incomplete Siege-Lev and activates it.
Consul Q
Hm... It's about halfway through the projected schedule...
But this will have to do.
But this will have to do.
Valdi
What are you gonna do?
Consul Q
I will have it achieve its intended purpose.
But, first of all...
I believe you need a little...discipline.
But, first of all...
I believe you need a little...discipline.
The unifinished Levnis attacks the defenceless Valdi. The Mini-Levnis saves him just in time, raising a shield between the Incomplete Siege-Lev and Valdi.
Valdi
Wait a sec...
Consul Q
Excuse me? What is this junk?
Move aside!
Move aside!
The Consul hits Mini-Levnis multiple times with his Levnis, until his shield breaks. Visibly damaged, the Mini-Levnis stands back up to protect Valdi again, shoving him to safety while raising another shield against the Incomplete Siege-Lev's attacks.
Valdi
Stop it! Just stop.
You've done enough.
I never wanted this.
You weren't supposed to protect me like this...
You've done enough.
I never wanted this.
You weren't supposed to protect me like this...
Consul Q
Ugh! Worthless drivel!
The Mini-Levnis' shield disappears. The Incomplete Siege-Lev kicks it. Lanz rushes to Valdi's side, followed by the rest of the party.
Valdi
Lanz?!
But how?
But how?
Lanz
Thank your little pal here.
Sena
Your buddy led us all the way to you!
Consul Q
Glorified tin opener! You dare attack me?!
As the Consul's Levnis prepares to crush the Mini-Levnis, Valdi desperately rushes to his aid.
Valdi
Don't do it!
Please, stop!!!
Please, stop!!!
The music stops as the Mini-Levnis gets crushed. Valdi falls on his knees with tears in his eyes as the Consul cackles.
Consul Q
Any tool that defies the orders of its master is trash!
Destined for the scrapyard!
Destined for the scrapyard!
Valdi
It's not trash!
Levnises have always,
*always* protected the things I care about.
I'm so small and pathetic.
But they taught me that...that I'm worth something.
Levnises have always,
*always* protected the things I care about.
I'm so small and pathetic.
But they taught me that...that I'm worth something.
Swallowing his tears, Valdi stands up and clenches his fists, slowly turning to Q as he speaks.
Valdi
That's why I chose to be a mechanic.
Not this...
Not for something as sad as this!
Not this...
Not for something as sad as this!
Consul Q
Why should you care about a hunk of metal?
If you oppose me, I'll do away with you - full stop!
If you oppose me, I'll do away with you - full stop!
Lanz
Quit your yapping and let's get scrapping!
Defeat the Incomplete Siege-Lev[edit]
Consul Q
Nghh...
Useless piece of junk!
Forget it. A Consul needs no crutch to lean on!
Useless piece of junk!
Forget it. A Consul needs no crutch to lean on!
The Incomplete Siege-Lev explodes.
Consul Q
Aaargh...!
Valdi
...
I'm sorry.
I... I couldn't do anything...
I'm sorry.
I... I couldn't do anything...
Lanz
I wouldn't say that.
At the very least, this little guy got to live the way you wanted him to.
At the very least, this little guy got to live the way you wanted him to.
Valdi
...Well, I sure hope so.
Thanks. For rescuing me.
Next time, I'll be sure to give you a tougher body, Mechafriend.
Thanks. For rescuing me.
Next time, I'll be sure to give you a tougher body, Mechafriend.
Lanz
Mechafriend?
Valdi
Gotta have a name, right?
This little guy isn't meant for battle.
He's a fellow companion...and a friend.
So yeah. Thanks, guys!
I'm not going to focus my efforts just on repairing Levnises any more.
I'll be working hard to figure out the best way to protect us all - in the truest sense!
Oh, but, uh... I guess that'd mean doing something about all our Flame Clocks, huh...

Noah
About that...
We could always smash Colony 30's Flame Clock?
It'd mean that everyone in the colony wouldn't have to fight any more. The Levnises too.

Valdi
You can do that?!
Noah
We can.
I can't guarantee that things will go smoothly for you after, though...
I can't guarantee that things will go smoothly for you after, though...
Valdi
I wouldn't say things are going particularly great as they stand anyway.
If I can make a difference for people, and not just Levnises...
Let's do it. Let's make this happen!
If I can make a difference for people, and not just Levnises...
Let's do it. Let's make this happen!
Colony 30 Liberated[edit]
Noah
Here we go!
Noah and Mio destroy the Flame Clock.
Flame Clock destroyed[edit]
Valdi
It really broke...
Eunie
Hey, you OK there?
Valdi
Wait, don't move a muscle! There might be some valuable materials lying around!
Eunie
Nothing worth bothering about, believe me.
Lanz
How are you feeling? It's gotta sting, right? It was a big deal for you.
Valdi
Lanz, you seem more stung than me.
Lanz
Come on, man, no.
Valdi
I'm fine. I mean, sure, it's a big change of perspective.
But like I said before, I'd already made up my mind.
But like I said before, I'd already made up my mind.
Lanz
True that.
Valdi
Heh!
Hey, um... Could I help you guys with your mission, in return?
It'd be the least I could do.
Hey, um... Could I help you guys with your mission, in return?
It'd be the least I could do.
Riku
Valdi realize what Valdi saying?
Valdi
I've never been more sure!
Manana
For sure!
Noah
Thank you. We appreciate it.
Mio
Looking forward to it!
Valdi
Haha, me too. Count me in!
Colony 30 freed[edit]
Eunie
So that's Colony 30's Flame Clock we've busted up now too...
Lanz
Yeah. If we keep this up, I bet you the Consuls are gonna get real up in arms.
Taion
...We'll be lucky if that's all that happens.
Sena
What do you mean?
Mio
...You think we might not be the only ones in their firing line, is that it?
Taion
If the Consuls see escape from the Flame Clock's dominion as an act of rebellion...
Noah
...Then soldiers from the liberated colonies might be in just as much danger as us...?
Eunie
Then it looks like we can't just smash their Clocks and leave them to it...
Sena
We can defend them all, I'm sure! With the power of Ouroboros on our side, there's nothing we can't do.
Lanz
Yeah, no, see, there's still only six of us. We can't be everywhere at once, right?
Mio
Well, but even if we can't protect everyone at all times, we can certainly at least help them out in various ways...
Sena
Oh, like we did at Colony 4?
Noah
We may have a long road ahead of us, but in a very real sense, so do they.
I think it's important that we work together to forge bonds of trust and cooperation.
I think it's important that we work together to forge bonds of trust and cooperation.
Taion
...Yes, well, that's all well and good, but I can hardly imagine them opening their hearts and souls to us that easily.
Lanz
It makes sense though surely? Anybody'll clam right up if you come on too hard.
Eunie
Might be smartest to keep an ear to the grapevine as we go, make sure to talk with folks and keep up with the gossip.
That way we might hear about any troubles they might have, or whatever, and discover things that we can help with.
That way we might hear about any troubles they might have, or whatever, and discover things that we can help with.
Noah
I like Eunie's plan. It's simple and direct.
Sena
Well then, no time like the present! Let's go and find some people to talk to at the colony!
