Busshitsukai - The Third Moon, Entrance
Masuyo: "How's it going, Taizo?"
Taizo: "Phew... Yep, once the engine starts, we should be able to get out of here."
MegaMan: "Excuse me, Taizo."
MegaMan: "Okay, Roll!"
Roll: "Okay! I'll start the engine!"
Tron: "One of the wings is broken, but can it still fly?"
Tron: "Oh ho ho, won't it just break apart in mid-air?"
Xiaomu: "...Why are you picking a fight? I won't be responsible if you really get left behind, you know?"
Servbot No. 1: "Miss Tron, that's so reckless!"
(Shaking and explosions)
Valkyrie: "W-what was that?! What just happened...?"
Reiji: "An explosion...? It came from inside."
Reiji: "What happened to the people inside?"
(The Elevator comes up)
Nakamura: "Everyone, so you were all gathered here?"
Momo: "That's good, you're all safe!"
Soldier 1P: "Hey, there are quite a lot of people here."
Soldier 2P: "Were you planning to start a party or something?"
Hiromi: "Wh-who...? Who are these people?"
Ken: "Let's skip the explanation. It would take too long to explain."
King: "Hmm...? But it seems there are still quite a few people missing..."
(The Elevator comes up)
KOS-MOS: "Thank you for waiting."
Shion: "KOS-MOS, you're safe!"
Felicia: "Now everyone's here!"
Felicia: "...Or rather, there are more of us!"
Hiryu: "...There's no time. 'The Third Moon' is going to explode soon."
Reiji: "...What?!"
Rutee: "It's true. It's going to go off with a big bang."
Stahn: "If we get blown up in a place like this... what will happen to us?"
Sylphie: "Well then, everyone, I will be using the shop's teleportation device to leave, so..."
Sylphie: "Now then, Momo-sama, let's go. If you come with me, I will give you 'this'."
Sylphie: "If you wear this 'outfit'..."
M.O.M.O.: "Oh, yes..."
Shion: "Hey, wait a minute! Don't take Momo away so casually!"
Shion: "Momo, you shouldn't go with her just because she's offering you something!"
Sylphie: "You caught me. Well then, farewell."
(Sylphie leaves)
Soldier 1P: "That guy... she ran away so quickly!"
Arthur: "What should we do? Is there a way to escape?"
Roll: "The Flutter, we can use it!"
MegaMan: "Everyone, get on quickly!"
5 minutes - The Flutter, Wheelhouse
Roll: "Is everyone on board!?"
Tron: "I'm the last one!"
Tron: "I threw Gustaff and the 2 bikes into the hangar! Get them out quickly!"
Mitsurugi: "Hey, this iron ship will fly, right?"
Hiryu: "...If it doesn't fly, it's over. Either way, hurry. We won't make it in time."
MegaMan: "Roll, please!"
Roll: "Flutter, rapid launch!"
(Launch!)
Captain: "Looks like we've successfully escaped. ...But what should we do now?"
Sakura: "Wow! Kanzuki, look out the window! It's space, it's outer space!"
Karin: "We didn't come here for a space trip, you know."
[The Third Moon - Earth Comprehensive Control Section]
Karin: "The Earth we saw from where we were fighting... it's quite far away, isn't it?"
Baby: "Even if we couwd weach it... we don't know if this ship can withstand atmosphewic entwy."
Roll: "With this damage... it might be difficult..."
Taki: "Can't those who can use sorcery do something about it?"
Morrigan: "If we had such a convenient power, we wouldn't be struggling like this."
Ki: "...Lady Ishtar... please save us..."
Sabine: "Are we really at the point where we have to rely on divine intervention...?"
Kurino: "But if it's Ishtar-sama, maybe..."
???: "...Ki... ca... u... hear... voice...?"
Ki: "...!?"
Ishtar: "...Kai... can you hear my voice...?"
Gil: "You are... the Goddess Ishtar...!"
Ki: "Lady Ishtar! You're calling out to me from Shinkai!?"
Reiji: "Is she the real thing?"
Xiaomu: "It's a type of sorcery. Anba-baba did it before, didn't she?"
Xiaomu: "It's like a video call."
Valkyrie: "Lady Ishtar, has something happened!?"
Ishtar: "Valkyrie... you're safe."
Ishtar: "...Where are you now?"
Valkyrie: "We're in Busshitsukai, in a place called 'Space'..."
[Sky Temple - Entrance]
Ishtar: "We must go to Shinkai immediately. ...Something terrible has happened at the Sky Temple."
Klonoa: "The Sky Temple...!? Could something have happened to Lolo or the High Priestess!?"
Gantz: "Tch, it's one thing after another...! But even if you tell us to go immediately..."
Ishtar: "With my power, I will open a dimensional gate... and send you to the Sky Temple."
Demitri: "If you have such power, why didn't you use it sooner, Ishtar?"
Reiji: "...That's right, the Sky Temple... It was connected to our world, wasn't it?"
Xiaomu: "Oh, there was talk of that, wasn't there? That we went to that temple from Ishtar's temple for that very reason."
Xiaomu: "Hmm? But wasn't there talk that we couldn't transfer at that time?"
Ishtar: "That's right."
Ishtar: "However, since then, the collapse of the 'dimensional wall' has progressed, and it is now possible to travel between Busshitsukai and the Sky Temple."
Ki: "Then, with Lady Ishtar's power...!"
Ki: "Lady Ishtar, please send us to the Sky Temple immediately!"
Ishtar: "I apologize for having to rely on you so much."
Ishtar: "Neither I nor Enma... can leave our respective worlds right now."
Valkyrie: "It is my mission to be Lady Ishtar's hands and feet and fight."
Valkyrie: "Kurino and Sabine... will fight alongside me again."
Valkyrie: "...To quell the chaos in this world... please guide us."
Ishtar: "...Very well."
Ishtar: "May good fortune be with you."
(Dimensional Transfer)
Shinkai - Sky Temple, Entrance
Bruce: "...This is... what the hell..."
Bruce: "I heard it was something serious, and I made several predictions... but this far exceeds my imagination."
Hideo: "Isn't this clearly a passenger ship from our world?!"
Hsien-Ko: "Wait, didn't we ride on this ship?"
Ryu: "Yeah, it's the ship that Ken and I were on to come to Japan."
[Memory Disk]
Regina: "And it's also the ship that was secretly transporting the confidential 'Third Energy' disk."
[Ibis Island]
Regina: "Maybe it was near Ibis Island, so it got caught in the transfer...?"
Fong Ling: "Hmph... I don't care about the circumstances."
Fong Ling: "The Spencer Rain... I'm so tired of it."
Bruce: "...It seems like an inescapable fate."
Kyoko: "But why is this happening..."
[Dragon Palace]
Kagekiyo: "...There's no need to be surprised. The Dragon Palace was also transported from Makai to the world where we live."
Tarosuke: "That's true. Compared to that, this is still small..."
[Gesellschaft] [The Flutter]
Ginzu: "That's right."
Ginzu: "The Gesellschaft, the Flutter... There are many precedents for transfers from one parallel world to another."
Guy: "Indeed. The chaos of the world has reached its peak."
Chun-Li: "Lately... these kinds of things have been happening frequently."
Chun-Li: "What will become of the world...?"
Jin: "What's happening here is more important than worrying about the world."
Jin: "...I have a bad feeling."
Klonoa: "That's right!" "We have to make sure Lolo and the High Priestess are safe!"
[Sky Temple, High Priestess's Chamber]
Reiji: "Okay, let's send a few people to the High Priestess's chamber."
Reiji: "The rest of you, search the ship."
Jin: "Understood. Let's go."
Jin: (What is this uneasy feeling in my chest...?)
