Mio
Wait up. I heard something...
Sena
What is it, Mimi?
Mio
...Ah!
Manana
Manana see person on ground!
Mio runs up to the person on the ground.
Mio
Stay with me. We'll patch you right up...
They help the person.
Fiona
...I have to...help...everyone...
Urgh!
Urgh!
Mio
Stop moving!
Fiona
You don't understand... I promised them...! Said I'd...keep them safe...
If I'm the only one that survives... then it's all been for nothing...!
I have to go...!
If I'm the only one that survives... then it's all been for nothing...!
I have to go...!
Lanz
Oi, don't be a clod.
Fiona
...Huh?! I'm, I'm not...!
Lanz
Oh what, you're really serious then? How're you gonna save anyone when you can barely stand yourself?
You got a death wish or something?
You got a death wish or something?
Fiona
(gasp)
Noah
Let's break it down. As I see it, you have two options here.
You can go in and try to save them by yourself...
You can go in and try to save them by yourself...
Lanz
...Or you can let us pitch in. Which one of those strikes you as the better idea, eh?
Fiona
...You want to...help me?
Lanz
I dunno, that depends. But I wouldn't be in such a hurry to throw my life away.
Being ready to die, and actively trying to get yourself killed are two very different things.
Being ready to die, and actively trying to get yourself killed are two very different things.
Eunie uses Group Heal on Fiona.
Fiona
(gasp)
Eunie
It's just a quick patch-up, but it should help you think straight.
Sorry about Lanz and his threatening display of idiocy.
Sorry about Lanz and his threatening display of idiocy.
Lanz
What's threatening?!
Eunie
You missed the point.
Lanz
I did not miss the...! Oh.
Sena
Look, you can relax. We're all friends here.
Mio
Would you mind telling us what's going on?
Fiona
Yeah, OK... There was a...Kevesi raid...
There was no time. I had to cause a diversion, so I leapt in without a second thought...
After that, it's... It's all a blur...
There was no time. I had to cause a diversion, so I leapt in without a second thought...
After that, it's... It's all a blur...
Mio
That was pretty reckless of you.
Riku
Remind Riku of someone Riku know.
Lanz
Oh?
Taion
Whatever the case may be, we had best hurry.
Judging by the situation, your allies were likely forced apart and are now fighting alone.

Fiona
(gasp)
Noah
It really sounds like it would help to have some numbers on your side, no?
Mio
For now, let's take the best course of action we can. We can hash out the details later.
Fiona
The best...course?
...
My name is Fiona. I am the commander of Colony Mu.
I know this might be a lot to ask, seeing as we've just met...
But please, lend me your strength! I need to save my people!

Fiona has temporarily joined the party.
Go help the people of Colony Mu[edit]
Fiona
Hold on, everyone... I’m on my way!
Fiona
Please! There’s no time to spare!
Mio
Let’s hurry.
Fiona
Summer...
I'm so sorry... You shouldn't have been alone...
I'm so sorry... You shouldn't have been alone...
Noah
Let's send her on. Her voice deserves to be heard...
Mio
All right.
Fiona
If only I was stronger...
Lanz
Just stay focused. It's not over yet.
Find Sean's husk.
Fiona
Sean... You kept everyone safe...
It must have hurt so much...
It must have hurt so much...
Mio
Fiona... Leave the rest to us.
Fiona
Yes... Thank you.
Find Frost's husk.
Fiona
...(small sob)
...(sob and sniffle)
...(sob and sniffle)
Mio
Hey... Are you all right?
Fiona
Crying isn't going to change anything.
Noah, Mio... Would you mind... taking care of everyone...?
Noah, Mio... Would you mind... taking care of everyone...?
Fiona
I don't want to lose them...
Sena
Oh, Fiona...
Solidarity[edit]
Colony Mu soldiers are facing Kevesi soldiers.
Keves Soldier A
Well, this was entertaining.
Quite a contest!
Quite a contest!
Irma
Huh... Indeed. And it ended with your loss!
Fiona
Irma!
Irma
What took you?
Fiona
Sorry! How's everyone?
Kanata
Fiona!
Nico
Aww, Fifi...! I was so worried about you!
Irma
We're surrounded,
and pretty badly depleted.
and pretty badly depleted.
Fiona starts tearing up.
Keves Soldier B
Men! Aim for that banner!
It's their commander, Fiona!
It's their commander, Fiona!
Lanz
Dream on, mudder!
Fiona
We should go.
Fiona and the party join with Irma’s group.
Irma
All of us, yes.
We didn't ask for these outsiders. This is still our fight!
We didn't ask for these outsiders. This is still our fight!
Fiona
But, the wounde-
Kanata
Eh, it's nothing! We're good.
Nico
Yeah, we're fine, still fighting fit!
Hildemarie
Relax, Fifi! You worry far too much!
Irma
In Colony Mu, we fight as one.
Right, folks?
Right, folks?
Fiona
You guys...!
The music stops. Fiona does the Colony Mu salute, raising her right hand in front of her then closing it in a fist to bang her chest twice. The other Colony Mu soldiers mimic her.
Fiona
*Trust* your crew.
Irma
*Trust* yourself.
Nico
*Trust* in victory!
Kanata
All hearts as one!
Fiona
We'll make it! Together!
Fiona buffs her group.
All Colony Mu Soldiers
Yeah!
Defeat the Keves Strike Team[edit]
Keves Soldier B
Sparks... Too strong...!
Keves Soldier C
Retreat! Retreat!!!
Fiona
We made it...!
Irma
Fiona?!
Nico
Fifi...!
Fiona
Irma... All of you...
You pulled through... Thank you...!
You pulled through... Thank you...!
Kanata
Come on now... 'Course we did!
Irma
We made a promise, right? Come what may, we'll always be together.
Lanz
...(sigh)
Fiona
...Lanz, everybody...!
Thank you so much for saving our lives!
Thank you so much for saving our lives!
Lanz
Whoa, all right, steady on... We're not deaf!
Fiona
You were just going to walk away. I couldn't let you go without a proper thank you...
Even if... Even if you're Ouroboros, the betrayers.
Even if... Even if you're Ouroboros, the betrayers.
Lanz
...Hang on.
Fiona
No, no... No need to explain. You're our saviors!
Hildemarie
That's right! You even healed our wounded!
Kanata
Yeah, you don't look like baddies to me!
Nico
Exactly!
Fiona
And I noticed that when we were fighting side by side, you guys all trust one another.
That's why...
That's why...
Irma
You've made up your mind, have you, Fiona?
Fiona
...Yeah.
That's why...I want to try trusting, too.
I want to destroy our Flame Clock. Would you mind doing us this one last favor?
That's why...I want to try trusting, too.
I want to destroy our Flame Clock. Would you mind doing us this one last favor?
Taion
Hm? It's hardly a problem for us, but why the sudden request?
Fiona
We heard about a liberated colony from Nopon travelers.
That's what got me thinking... There should be more to life than spending it fighting all the time.
"Being ready to die, and actively trying to get yourself killed are two very different things."

"Being ready to die, and actively trying to get yourself killed are two very different things."
Lanz
Sounds to me like you've been mullin' it over.
Fiona
This has to change. I want to change myself, and I wanna change the way things are.
Lanz
Heh... Good on you!
Sena
Looks like you got it figured out.
Fiona
You'll... You'll trust me?
Mio
That's the same look you gave us when we first met.
You'll do anything to protect your friends, won't you?
You'll do anything to protect your friends, won't you?
Fiona
...Eheh!
Lanz
All right then! Let's make tracks for Colony Mu!
Taion
...That is, if she didn't still seem to be having second thoughts. Care to tell us why?
Irma
...Oh, you noticed? Well, that makes things easier.
There are two major stumbling blocks. The first is that you'll have to somehow outwit the Consul...
And second, that only that Consul knows the location of the Flame Clock under discussion.

And second, that only that Consul knows the location of the Flame Clock under discussion.
Mio
Huh? How can you not know...?
Fiona
The one you see right now... That's just a fake.
Eunie
Fake?! How's that then?
Fiona
Oh, but the Consul isn't here right now. This might be the right time to act...!
Irma
Fiona, this isn't the place to be having this conversation.
Fiona
Ah! Right, sorry...
Irma
In any case, let's talk details at the colony.
Our people are on their last legs. We'll need time to get back to strength.
Our people are on their last legs. We'll need time to get back to strength.
Fiona
Uhm... Please, take this!
Item(s) Obtained: Circlet of Wisdom x1
Fiona
I'm happy you were able to send everyone on their way.
It really helped me to be a little more positive. Thank you so much.
Sorry about all the urgent requests...
We'll be waiting for you at Colony Mu. Don't keep us waiting too long!

Find Fiona[edit]
Manana
Whoa... Such flower power! Manana flabbered!
Fiona
Everyone! We've been waiting for you.
Lanz
This is awesome... Did you guys make this?
Fiona
I...suppose we did.
Whenever we say farewell to a friend, we plant flower seeds.
They kept growing over time, and before we knew it, we had this.
Whenever we say farewell to a friend, we plant flower seeds.
They kept growing over time, and before we knew it, we had this.
Mio
It's beautiful, but... To think of all the departed...
Fiona
Standing still spells death. If we can't achieve victory, there will be no tomorrow.
But still, we didn't want to forget that they were all here, once...
But still, we didn't want to forget that they were all here, once...
Lanz
So that's why you're gettin' all teary-eyed...
Fiona
Wh-what? N-no? It's just the pollen...
Irma
It doesn't take much to get "Commander Boo-hoo" here going.
Fiona
Irma!!!
Lanz
Looks like you've taken a lot on your shoulders.
...Doesn't it weigh you down?
...Doesn't it weigh you down?
Fiona
A little. I just wish I wasn't such a weakling...
Irma
You can put the burden down whenever you want, you know.
You can still choose to keep things the same as always.
I wouldn't think any less of you if you did. Neither would anyone else here.
You can still choose to keep things the same as always.
I wouldn't think any less of you if you did. Neither would anyone else here.
Fiona
...I love you for saying that, Irma.
Just like I love everyone here, and Colony Mu, where I met you all.
And ever since I realized that, tomorrow stopped looking so dark.
And that's exactly why... I can't run away from my responsibility.
Just like I love everyone here, and Colony Mu, where I met you all.

Irma
...I get it.
Whatever happens, I trust in you.
Whatever happens, I trust in you.
Irma does the Colony Mu salute.
Fiona
And I trust you too!
Fiona does the Colony Mu salute.
Kanata
Fiona! Irma!
All the squad leaders have assembled. We can start the meeting at your convenience.
All the squad leaders have assembled. We can start the meeting at your convenience.
Fiona
Understood. I'll be right there.
Nico
Oh, but before that, Fifi...
Tickle ambush! Coochie-coochie-coo!
Tickle ambush! Coochie-coochie-coo!
Fiona
...Eek! ...Ahahah...!
Stop it...! Hehehehe!
Stop it...! Hehehehe!
Nico
Teehee... Loosen up, Fifi! Get it all outta you!
Kanata
...Yep, now she's back to herself.
Nico
We're waiting in the square!
Fiona
Why... I'll get you back, you'll see!
Nico
Eek! Heehee...!
Kanata
Run awayyy!
The soldiers run away. Fiona chases after them.
Irma
It's hard to imagine that the Consul will make it easy for us, with the Flame Clock...
Someone will surely pay for this with their life, again...
Please, do whatever you can to make sure it's not Fiona.
Someone will surely pay for this with their life, again...
Please, do whatever you can to make sure it's not Fiona.
At Colony Mu Viewing Deck[edit]
Tallow
Are we seriously gonna do it now?
Those Kevesi dudes are still loitering around...
Those Kevesi dudes are still loitering around...
Lanz
Who's loitering again?
Tallow
(...Guh?! ...He's huge...!)
Lanz
Sounded like someone was havin' a bit of a whinge. We all good here?
Fiona
We're great! Right, Tallow?
Tallow
R-right, chief. No whinging here...
Lanz
Say again?
Tallow
N-n-nothing to say really!
Lanz
...Hm. I'll take your word for it.
Taion
Time is of the essence. Sorry to rush, but can we get straight to the point?
Mio
What should we talk about first...?
What should we ask?
About the fake Flame Clock
Noah
You said the colony's Flame Clock was a fake. What did you mean by that?
Ayase
Wow, pretty blunt, huh?
Honestly, we don't really know any more beyond the fact that it's a fake.
Honestly, we don't really know any more beyond the fact that it's a fake.
Nico
Since we never use it, anyway, yeah?
Tallow
When it's close to running dry, we get orders from the Consul to go out and fight.
Lanz
Well, what is it for, then?
Fiona
Do you think maybe there's some weird advantage to it...?
Like, maybe the Colony's rank is really high, but it makes it look lower, to get enemies to underestimate us?
Like, maybe the Colony's rank is really high, but it makes it look lower, to get enemies to underestimate us?
Tallow
O-or the exact opposite.
Actually we're bottom tier, but it looks a lot higher to intimidate people...?
Actually we're bottom tier, but it looks a lot higher to intimidate people...?
Fiona
Oh yeah! It could be that.
Lanz
Well, your actual strength doesn't change, so it'd be pretty obvious once you get down to it...
Noah
And also, supplies from the Castle are allocated based on rank.
Could we see your supplies? That would give us a good idea of where you fall, rank-wise.
Could we see your supplies? That would give us a good idea of where you fall, rank-wise.
Nico
Nico's on warehouse detail! And I'm Nico. I'll get things ready for your inspection!
About the real Flame Clock
Eunie
You said nobody knows where your real Flame Clock is, except the Consul?
How are we supposed to find it, then?
How are we supposed to find it, then?
Tallow
I don't suppose...we could just... ask the Consul...?
Irma
(sigh)
Tallow
Ohhhh come on, why the huge sigh?! I was just asking! Someone had to ask!
Taion
Well it has to be somewhere, or the status quo wouldn't be maintained.
If you fight, the Flame Clock must fill up. Suppose you were to harvest a large pool of life in a short time...
If you fight, the Flame Clock must fill up. Suppose you were to harvest a large pool of life in a short time...
Fiona
Oh! It would flow into the real Clock!
Taion
I'd like to investigate any large-scale combat engagements you may have experienced.
If we're lucky, someone may have witnessed some signs of the Flame Clock's operation.
If we're lucky, someone may have witnessed some signs of the Flame Clock's operation.
Mio
Could we take a look into your past battle records?
Fiona
Of course! I'll have them delivered to you.
About the colony's rank
Eunie
If the current Flame Clock is fake, what happens when your rank goes up?
Irma
As far as I know, I don't think that's ever happened.
Lanz
Wait, you're joking! You've always been on the same level?
Nico
Nico - that's me - heard something from the Consul one time.
She said to tough it out and do exactly as instructed, and everything would be all right.
She said to tough it out and do exactly as instructed, and everything would be all right.
Fiona
Oh? I was told something else.
"People only see what they want to see", I think it was...?
"People only see what they want to see", I think it was...?
Lanz
Uh... Meaning?
Eunie
Meaning, nobody actually wants to see how much is left on their Clock, I guess.
Tallow
Yeah, I mean, if you knew, you'd just stress out over it constantly...
Irma
A little more stressing wouldn't go amiss in your case, Tallow, you Tirkinhead.
Tallow
Wha-?! Why'd you gotta call me names?!
Irma
Just 'cause.
Tallow
Wow...
Taion
Well, we don't know exactly what the Consul intended...
But she must have had something in mind, to go to these lengths rigging the contraption.
But she must have had something in mind, to go to these lengths rigging the contraption.
About the Consul
Taion
You said the Consul was away. Do you know how long for?
Ayase
Tell you bluntly, we don't know either.
Nico
She's always disappearing, going off on one special mission or another...
Taion
In that case, she could be back at any time...
Fiona
I'm sorry that the answer isn't very useful...
Mio
This all sounds like kind of a big deal. It doesn't bother you...?
Ayase
It's nothing special. We don't normally talk much about it...
Irma
She just sends us down broad-stroke orders, like, "Go defeat those guys", "Send a team to this location"...
Tallow
Yeah, the only time she spoke normally was that one time, wasn't it?
You know, the time when Fiona became commander.
You know, the time when Fiona became commander.
Fiona
Yuck... Do we have to talk about that...?
Noah
About what?
Irma
When the previous commander died, Fiona clung to the Consul's knees.
Started saying that the way we fought was making everyone miserable...
Started saying that the way we fought was making everyone miserable...
Tallow
Yeah, it turned into a whole, like, debate...
Until the Consul was like, fine then, you try and change it! And made Fiona the commander.
Until the Consul was like, fine then, you try and change it! And made Fiona the commander.
Sena
What, just like that?!
Fiona
...I know it was a twisted kind of punishment. But now I've got everyone else tangled up in this mess...
Nico
Whatever! We know you just want the best for us, Fifi!
Ayase
That's why you get yourself in such a tizzy!
Irma
And that's why we wanna support you in turn. You're good, Fiona. Better than you know.
Fiona
Mhm... Thanks, guys.
Noah
(Punishing someone with a promotion? That's so bizarre...)
About destroying the Flame Clock
Lanz
So, this whole Clock-breaking thing's kind of a sudden development, yeah? I wanted to ask how you lot feel about all this.
We know how Fiona feels, but are you all OK with what we're about to do?
We know how Fiona feels, but are you all OK with what we're about to do?
Tallow
...Honestly, I just want Fiona to be able to relax, like, not have to carry all this responsibility.
Fiona
That's so kind of you...
Irma
...Even if we do this, people will still die.
Tallow
Yeah, but if they do, it'll be because of their own failure. That's not the same.
She carries the banner for us, and it's because of us that it's so heavy.
She carries the banner for us, and it's because of us that it's so heavy.
Irma
But that weight's also the momentum that keeps her moving forward.
I don't want us doing anything that could sully the purity of Fiona's conscience.
I don't want us doing anything that could sully the purity of Fiona's conscience.
Ayase
All right, all right, let's all take some deep breaths...
Nico
We're all friends here! Keep it civil!
Fiona
I'm happy that you're so concerned for me. Thank you.
Lanz
Well... I reckon things'll work out one way or another. I mean, come on - you've got us on your side!
Eunie
Yeah, you tell 'em Lanz.
Lanz
No one wants to lose their mates... Just don't lose track of what matters, yeah?
We have nothing more to ask. / Nothing else
Mio
I think we've more or less heard all we need.
Noah
Yeah, I think so too. It's time to get to work. Let's check out the loose threads we've uncovered.
Mio
We should investigate the supplies in the warehouse, and the Colony's battle record data. Is that right?
Fiona
I'll make sure everyone gives you their full cooperation!
Irma
We'll also try looking around for anything we might've missed.
Tallow
If anything turns up, we'll be in touch!
Talk with Fiona and Irma again[edit]
Fiona
The supplies are stored in the warehouse. Nico should have them ready for you to look at.
I've also let people know to give you access to our battle records!
Just ask Shu about it in the barracks.
I've also let people know to give you access to our battle records!
Just ask Shu about it in the barracks.
Irma
We'll also try looking around for anything we might've missed.
Talk with Shu[edit]
Shu
Frost... Sean...
You said you'd come back. You liars...
You said you'd come back. You liars...
Taion
...Sorry to bother you. We were hoping to check out the old battle records...?
Shu
Ah! Right. Fifi said to expect you!
Bear with me for a moment...
...Right, I've transferred you the data. If you see anything interesting, let me know.
Bear with me for a moment...
...Right, I've transferred you the data. If you see anything interesting, let me know.
Taion
Thank you, we will.
Talk with Shu again[edit]
Shu
If this will put an end to the fighting, I'll spare no effort in helping.
I've always dreamt it, you know. Being able to enjoy each day as it comes, sharing it with Fifi and the others...
I've always dreamt it, you know. Being able to enjoy each day as it comes, sharing it with Fifi and the others...
Talk with Nico[edit]
Nico
Welcome to Nico's warehouse! I'm Nico and this is my, well, not "my" exactly, but it's a warehouse all right! Look around all you like!
Noah
Thanks. I won't be a minute.
(Nothing here really stands out... It's all as I'd expect from a colony with the rank their Flame Clock says they are.)
(Nothing here really stands out... It's all as I'd expect from a colony with the rank their Flame Clock says they are.)
Taion
By the way, are you the one who does inventory management here?
Nico
No, I think it might be the Consul...? Nico only watches the warehouse. ...Nico, I should say, is me.
Taion
Why would a Consul do that themselves...?
Discuss Colony Mu Investigation[edit]
- Main article: Colony Mu Investigation
Search for Fiona[edit]
On their way to find Fiona, they encounter soldiers with a glowing red Iris taking a defensive stance.
Sena
Oh no! What's going on...?!
Mio
It's like back at Colony 4...
Lanz
Another Moebius messing with us? Crap...!
They ignore the soldiers and run looking for Fiona.
Irma the Traitor[edit]
Tallow, his Iris glowing red, is attacking Fiona.
Fiona
Tallow...?!
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Hey, what's wrong with you?
Lanz
Sorry about this, bud!
Lanz knocks Tallow with his Blade, shoving him to the ground.
Fiona
Tallow!
Lanz
Don't worry, he'll be all right!
But now...
But now...
A False Volff attacks. Lanz switches his Blade to a turret gun and shoots at it.
Fiona
(gasp)
A silhouette wearing an Agnian armor approaches amongst the Volffs.
Lanz
Mu's Consul...
It was you, wasn't it?
It was you, wasn't it?
Irma is revealed, her Iris glows with the Moebius symbol.
Irma
Reality, right? It's just so dull.
That's why nobody pays it any mind.
They'd rather chase pretty dreams.
That's why nobody pays it any mind.
They'd rather chase pretty dreams.
Irma looks at her Colony Mu friendship bracelet, removes it and throws it to the ground. False Volffs surround the unconscious Tallow. More Volffs appears out of thin air.
Irma
You really should have just stayed dreaming.
Fiona
(in shock)
(in shock)
(gasp)
Lanz
Why would you do something like this?
Irma
When someone close to you gets hurt, you want to become stronger for them.
That desire and sadness,
they make for a quality flame.
That desire and sadness,
they make for a quality flame.
Noah
Is that why you arranged the attack?
Conspired with Keves, sacrificed all those lives?!
Conspired with Keves, sacrificed all those lives?!
Irma
Without some hardship, humans don't come together.
It was just the same with you.
It was just the same with you.
Lanz
Cut the crap!
How could you put Fiona through this?!
How could you put Fiona through this?!
Irma
I know perfectly well what I did!
False Volffs attack Lanz. They bump against his shield. Irma’s Iris glows brighter, and the Volffs eventually break through the shield, throwing Lanz backward. He stands back on one knee, while Fiona coughs from the dust and stares at Irma.
Irma
But Fiona, she never once gave up.
She wouldn't let the dream be all there was...
That purity of purpose, it lifted everybody up.
The need to support one another...
She wouldn't let the dream be all there was...
That purity of purpose, it lifted everybody up.
The need to support one another...
Irma clenches her left fist. With her other hand, she grabs the wrist where her friendship bracelet used to be.
Irma
She taught me that as well.
Lanz
Hmph. Ahh, well ain't that nice? Learn this!
Lanz rushes to attack Irma. Fiona intercepts him, physically putting herself in his way. Lanz looks down at her in surprise and doesn’t try to force his way through.
Lanz
Oh- What're you-?!
Fiona
Don't hurt my friend!
Even if she's bad, she's still my friend!
Even if she's bad, she's still my friend!
Lanz
Fiona...
Pity in his eyes, Lanz takes a few steps back. Irma suddenly shoots Fiona in the back. She falls to her knees. As Lanz reaches for her, a second shot hits him in the chest and sends him flying.
Noah
Fiona! Lanz!
Noah and Mio rush toward Lanz. False Volffs stop them, separating the wounded Lanz and Fiona from the others. Irma keeps her gun Blade aimed at Fiona.
Irma
Stand up.
You can do better than this.
You can do better than this.
Fiona
Please...
Irma
Get up!
You'll do your best for the others, won't you?
You'll do all that you can and then some!
You'll do your best for the others, won't you?
You'll do all that you can and then some!
Fiona
Stop it!
I'll fight along with you if you want!
I'll fight by your side against whatever it is that's making you sad, Irma! So, please...
I'll fight along with you if you want!
I'll fight by your side against whatever it is that's making you sad, Irma! So, please...
Fiona slowly stands up and turns to look at Irma.
Fiona
Stop calling it...a dream...
Irma lowers her gun.
Irma
Hey... Don't disappoint me like that...
You've already made your choice.
You chose what you wanted to see, and freely!

Irma summons another False Volff to attack Fiona. Fiona summons her Blade and stops the Volff’s bite with her banner. She struggles against it as Irma keeps talking.
Irma
Just how heavy is that banner?
How many lives do you carry?
How many lives do you carry?
Fiona
Please, stop...
Irma
All of their hopes... You did say you'd shoulder them, didn't you?
You said you'd never break, huh?!
You said you'd never break, huh?!
Fiona
You said we'd be together...forever!
Irma
Crying about it won't change the truth!
The fact is, your friends are dead!
And I'm the one who killed them!
The fact is, your friends are dead!
And I'm the one who killed them!
Tears in her eyes, Fiona tightens her grip on her Blade and throws the Volff to the ground. It disappears. Yelling in anguish, Fiona rushes toward Irma. The consul transforms into Moebius.
Fiona in Tears[edit]
Moebius I transforms back into Irma and falls down. Fiona rushes to her side as she begins to turn into motes of light.
Fiona
Irma!
Irma
You really shouldn't...
cry for me...
cry for me...
Fiona
Sorry...
You were my friend...
But I...couldn't save you...
(sobbing)

Irma
Fiona...
Irma puts her right fist on her chest in a weak imitation of the Colony Mu salute.
Irma
You'll always...be my...
Irma raises her left hand toward Fiona.
Fiona
Irma...
As Fiona reaches for Irma’s hand, she disappears in motes of light.
Fiona
(wailing sob)
With the Consul’s death, a large illusory rock over Colony Mu transforms to reveal its real Ferronis.
Check on the unconscious Colony Mu soldiers[edit]
Noah
...Breathing seems steady. Everything will be OK...
We should go check the Flame Clock now.
We should go check the Flame Clock now.
Lanz
Unconscious, but alive. That's a relief.
Better head for the Flame Clock for now.

Eunie
I bet they won't even remember what happened when they wake up...
Let's go check what's going on with the Flame Clock, eh?

Mio
This is too sad... There's no way it can be right...
...Let's move. The real Flame Clock should have appeared now.
...Let's move. The real Flame Clock should have appeared now.
Taion
They ought to wake up soon enough...
Irma's influence should have faded now. We had better check on the Flame Clock.

Sena
We have to check on the Flame Clock...
This whole thing feels like a bad dream...

Check on Fiona[edit]
Fiona
So this is where the Flame Clock was...
How did we never see it before...?

Lanz
Look, I'm not great with words, but I wanted to say...
I'm sure she was a complicated person, too...
I'm sure she was a complicated person, too...
Fiona
I'll never forgive what Irma did...
I know I can never, ever forgive her...
But if I'd never met her, I wouldn't be who I am today.
She's taught me a lot as well...

Tallow
Just... Just promise you won't suffer alone, all right? If things get too much to bear, you can always talk to me.
Fiona
Tallow...
Tallow
If you need to grumble or swear, or call someone names, I'm your man. I'll get rid of all your worries.
You can count on this Tirkinhead, OK?

Fiona
Hah... Same old Tallow...
Tallow
She woke me up, you know. Irma did. Made me watch you.
I couldn't move... But I followed every word you said.
I couldn't move... But I followed every word you said.
Mio
Perhaps she didn't want you to be alone...
Fiona
(gasp)
Tallow
But then, why...? Why do something like that...?
I'm s'posed to be the Tirkinhead, not Irma...
I'm s'posed to be the Tirkinhead, not Irma...
Fiona
I... I want to know about these Moebius people.
I have to know what Irma was thinking...
Will you let me fight by your side, still?

Lanz
No reason to say no.
Sena
You're already our friend, Fifi!
Lanz
Don't ever forget how you're feeling right now.
I think...it'll keep you strong.
I think...it'll keep you strong.
Fiona
Yeah...
I won't. Not ever.
I won't. Not ever.
