Brave Saga 2/Story Translation/Stage 14
Area 2 > ON-04 District
Stage 14
(Factory, Hamada and Osaka from Might Gaine, Lonlon enters)
Lonlon: This really is the real Aodo Factory! …Both Maito-kun and Geki-kun were fighting to protect this place… How surprising for Nouvelle Tokyo to have fused with our world, though…
Hamada: Uhm~, outsiders aren’t really allowed……
Lonlon: Kyaaaaah! The real Hamada-kun and the real room monitor, Osaka!! (hops) I’m a huge fan of the gentle Hamada-kun who wouldn’t get angry even if he had to wait 2 hours or of the charmingly cool factory manager!
Hamada: [sweatdrop] I… I see……
Osaka: I’m sorry, but who are you…?
Lonlon: Oh…? Didn’t Manami tell you about me?
Hamada: Are you an acquaintance of Manami-san’s?
Lonlon: That’s right. I’m Lonlon! I’m Manami’s good friend and the development factory manager in VARS USA.
(Manami and Maito enter)
Manami: … Lonlon!? There you are! No wonder I couldn’t find you!
Lonlon: Yi~kes! You found me…
Hamada: Manami-san…! (turns to Osaka) … Room monitor Osaka! This person is Serizawa Manami-san, who founded VARS. I told you about about her earlier, right?
Osaka: Aah! I’ve heard very much about her… Maito-kun mentioned her as well.
Manami: My name is Serizawa Manami… Pleased to meet you.
Osaka: My name is Osaka Jirou.
Maito: Also known as the factory manager from Aodo! He single-handedly takes care of the Brave Express Team’s development and maintenance.
Hamada: … Since we’re standing around taking here, how about we walk further inside…?
Maito: (nods) Yeah, you’re right.
(Flashback, Nouvelle Tokyo)
Maito: … That day, a record-breaking earthquake hit Nouvelle Tokyo…
(In a monitor room, Osaka, Maito enters)
Maito: Factory manager! Is Might Kaiser…!?
Osaka: … It’s no good. The adjustments aren’t ready, so I can’t let you take off in this situation.
Maito: Now of all times, when the one protecting world peace should be the Brave Express Team…!!
(Hamada enters)
Hamada: Maito! It’s dangerous outside! You should stay here until the shaking stops…!!
Maito: (com-link sound) [!] This is Maito! … What happened, Gaine!?
Gaine’s voice: (static) Maito, this is terrible…! The sky is……
Maito: The sky…!? What’s wrong with the sky!?
Gaine’s voice: … The sky is splitting……! (static, transmission ends)
Maito: [!] Gaine! …Gaine!! (various attempts at calling him back) … Damn it! Someone, please answer!! … This is Maito. Please answer…… (static) […]
Manami’s voice: Maito… Maito-kun!? (static)
Maito: {…That voice just now was… Manami-san’s!?} …This is Maito! Manami-san, please answer!
Hamada: … What on Earth is happening…? (flashback end)
(Same room as the flashback, present time, now with Lonlon and Manami as well)
Maito: When I woke up, the only ones here were me, Hamada-kun and the factory manager.
Lonlon: [?] Huh, what about Geki-kun…? He was fighting on your side.
Hamada: Geki-san reached this area before us, apparently.
(Flashback, Geki in front of a tent, white flash)
Geki: W-What…!? (he’s teleported with his tent to the area we find him in) …Nuoh!? W-What is this…!? (end flashback)
Manami: I see, so that’s what happened…
Lonlon: I guess you were all surprised!
Maito: Yes, indeed we were!
Osaka: At first, we thought it was an enemy spy.
Hamada: … But when we ran into Geki-san, we realized that this earthquake wasn’t a regular earthquake.
Manami: Last time the dimensional balance broke down, a spatial distortion occurred and a tunnel between the 2nd and 3rd dimensions was formed.
Hamada: (nods) Yes. Knowing that, I built a dimension jump machine… However, that was a one-time thing only. I didn’t think two different dimensions could actually fuse like this…
Manami: That must mean that the dimensional balance is in tatters.
Lonlon: … You’re right. The earthquake that occurred at the same time back then must have been caused by the dimensional collapse… that’d be the honest conclusion.
Maito: I haven’t managed to contact Gaine and the others ever since we communicated during that earthquake. Where could they possibly be…?
Manami: Maybe the torn space fused as it was as an effect of crossing dimensions…?
Lonlon: Probably… The others must be in the areas surrounded by the barrier… Although that’s just my instinct talking.
Manami: The enemy’s plan might be have a larger scale than we thought.
Maito: However big this enemy may be, I will never give up! Justice will certainly win!!
Hamada: That’s our Maito!
Manami: As expected from “The Nice Guy Who Calls the Storm! Senpuuji Maito”…!
(everyone laughs)
(Eyecatch: Sally and Great Might Gaine. No, you don’t get him until Disk 2, stop asking)
(Map. Red Geist)
Redlone: {I will not back down until I settle the score with Da-Garn…} (com-link) I am Redlone. Can you hear me, Da-Garn? In order to settle the score with you, I endured humiliation and ended up serving Bardo. If you want to accept my challenge, come to ON-04 District.
(Hangar, Da-Garn)
Redlone’s voice: I won’t tell you to come alone. You may bring as many allies as you want.
Da-Garn: Redlone… Seiji…!
(Bridge, Nanako, Seiji, Hikaru, signal on the Director)
Seiji: What happened, Da-Garn!?
Da-Garn’s voice: I’ve just received a message from Redlone.
Seiji: [!] What…!?
Da-Garn’s voice: He was a bit hazy, but he said he wanted to settle the score with me…
Seiji: Got it…! Take off at once, Da-Garn!! (about to leave)
Nanako: Ah…!
Hikaru: Wait, Seiji-kun! (Seiji leaves)
Nanako: What am I going to do…!? Manami-san and Lonlon-san are away, too~!!
Shizuma’s voice: You idiot…! Stop being flustered and contact Manami at once!!
Nanako: Y-Yes…!
Hikaru: Hey, you! You don’t call a girl “idiot”!!
Nanako: Hi-Hikaru-chan!
Shizuma’s voice: ……Hurry up and call Manami! Okay!?
Hikaru: What’s up with him ordering us around like he’s all that good! We would’ve called her even without his help. Bleeeeh!! (or whatever is the onomatopoeic word for sticking your tongue out)
(Back to Manami and the others)
Manami: (com-link) I see, Seiji-kun and Da-Garn… Got it, I’ll be back in a few moments.
Maito: We’re taking off, aren’t we?
(FMV: Earth Combination – Da-Garn X)
(Back to map, Da-Garn X shows up)
Da-Garn X: Redlone, where are you!? Come out, Redlone!!
(Red Geist shows up)
Redlone: … So you showed up. I’ve been waiting for you, Da-Garn. Today, I shall get my vengeance!!
(6 Oha—Oha… anyway, just like the others in this chapter appear)
(Deployment screen: 4 units)
(FMV: Saber Varion)
Clear Condition: Defeat the enemy boss!
(When you do so)
Redlone: Did I just lose…!?
Da-Garn X: As Earth’s protector, I cannot afford to be defeated!
(Stage Clear)
(Gohdes’s lair)
Gohdes: Orboss’s subordinate, Redlone… What an expectedly fast fall of curtain. I had hoped I could use him more… He couldn’t even make use of the Perfect Soldier we worked so hard to get… Well… We managed to buy some time. That will do…
(Back to factory, Maito, Manami, Hamada, Osaka)
Hamada: (scratches head) I’ll stay here with room monitor Osaka. Even if I did join you, I wouldn’t be of any use in fights… I’d probably be more helpful by staying here, analyzing and developing things… Right, room monitor Osaka!?
Osaka: I… am glad at the reassuring words Hamada-kun said, but… Is this really alright?
Maito: Yes. If that is Hamada-kun’s wish, I won’t oppose him!
Hamada: Farewell, Maito! (Note: he’s saying “genki de”, which would probably work better as “good luck”. However, Maito interprets these as parting words, so I went for “farewell”, which covers both the parting part and the genki (faring) part)
Maito: Why are you using such parting words, Hamada-kun…!? Now, we’re both on the same ground. We can contact each other and I can come back here whenever I feel like it!
Hamada: Yes, of course! After all, this is the Brave Express Team’s secret base! You’re free to come here any time!!
Manami: Someone will be very disappointed that Hamada-kun and room monitor Osaka aren’t coming along……
(Bridge, Lonlon on her knees, Nanako)
Lonlon: Why, why, why~~!?
Nananko: Hey, Lonlon-san! Please, calm down a little…!!
Lonlon: I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna~~! If Hamada-kun isn’t coming with us, I’m staying here~~!!
Nanako: Please…! Please come back quickly, Manami-san!! (Manami enters)
Lonlon: I’m staying here~~!
Manami: Dear me… It’s just as I thought.
(Hangar, Shizuma and Varion)
Shizuma: … Ultimately, there wasn’t any Apheta in this Area.
Varion: This land is a trap set by Bardo…
Shizuma: We certainly took a long way.
Maito’s voice: Now, don’t take it that way. (enters)
Shizuma: It’s you…
Maito: It’s because you came to this area that we became comrades, right?
Shizuma: (bows head) I don’t have any comrades……
Maito: They’ll be there when you’ll need them. Even if you don’t think so now… they certainly will one day.
(Bridge, Manami and bridge bunnies)
Lonlon: … Aah, farewell, my heroes… (“admired persons”)
Manami: Come on, stop being hesitant! Let’s go to the next area!!
Lonlon: I get it already~~! Ark, setting sail for next area!!
(Back to Shunpei and Astal)
Shunpei: … Maito-san and the others are on Earth……?
Astal: The dimensional balance was broken and the borderline between spaces disappeared.
Shunpei: I see…! So our world isn’t the only one that’s in danger… If our world is destroyed, that of Maito-san and the others will disappear as well!
Astal: Dear boy… Have you seen what only you can see now?
Shunpei: … What I can do now… What I can’t do now. That’s… looking for Baan!!
Astal: Are you saying that… because you’ve gone beyond accepting Baan’s death?
Shunpei: Yes! Just like the time Baan found me during the previous fight, this time I’ll be the one to look for Baan! And then, I’ll fight at his side once more! That’s why… please! Let me go where everyone is!!
Astal: … The light of courage is glowing in your eyes. The glow of the courage Baan’s life and death depend on…
Shunpei: Then…
Astal: … However, dear boy. It will be hard for you to survive on the ground with your power only… To the evil ones, your existence is a small hindrance…
Shunpei: … No way!
Astal: What happened…?
Magna’s voice: Thou great will, Astal…!
Flash’s voice: Would you please leave this job to us…!? (two orbs appear next to Shunpei)
Shunpei: You two are…?
Magna: We’re the students of the Holy Brave Baan, who governs over courage. In other words, we’re apprentices!
Shunpei: Baan’s students?
Flash: Yes. We’re both Professor Baan’s students. My name is Flash…
Shunpei: I-I’m… Serizawa Shunpei! Pleased to meet you…!
Magna: I’m Magna, this guy’s twin. Pleased to meet you! Our master told us about you.
Shunpei: He did…?
Magna: Yeah. Even though you’re an awful crybaby, the part about “the glow of courage” was true!
Shunpei: The glow of my courage…
Astal: … Everything is as guided by destiny… Magna and Flash. Go with the boy who is “the source of courage”, in order to awaken the Holy Brave who rules over courage…
Magna: Got it!
Flash: We’ll protect Shunpei-kun’s body! And we’ll certainly bring back professor Baan…!
Shunpei: Looking forward to working with you, Magna-san! Flash-san!
Flash: Flash is enough, Shunpei-kun!
Magna: Magna is enough for me too! Let’s roll, Shunpei!!
Astal: Now, leave on your trip… My children.
Shunpei: Uhm, Astal…! Thank you not only for saving me, but also for teaching me so much.
Astal: The resurrection of “courage” lies within you. However, fear not. You need to believe in yourself, in your courage…!
Shunpei: … Yes!
