NEXT SCENE Great Axiom - Bridge
-Shioni : Ah… Ahhh…
-Carlos : Shioni!?
-Shioni : Limonesia! My Limonesia!!
-Ime : Please calm down, Shioni.
-Shioni : I-I-Ime! What's the meaning of this!?
-Ime : Perhaps there was a Dimensional force feedback when generating the Dimensional quake...
-Ime : Or maybe it was his power.
-Carlos : His?
-Ime : The power you've been searching for, the power to change the world.
-Ime : Come, let us celebrate... the arrival of the King of Destruction.

-Ibuki : No way, Limonesia…
-Watta : You're kidding! The whole cities been reduced to a hole in the ground!

-Kamina : Watch out! That guy… He seriously dangerous!!
-??? : Well then!
-Setsuna : What… He's…!?
-Heero : He’s not human!
-Duo : Are you a demon, a devil, or the real grim reaper!
-??? : Looks like there's some tasty prey here. This world isn't half bad.
-Ibuki : What's going on!? He's hijacked our coms!
-Aoi : Prey, are you talking about us!?
-Ryoma : That bastard… He' s not even trying to hide his murderous intent!
-Zero : Fire! Attack!
-Shirota : Zero! He's a human, and he's unarmed!
-Zero : If they are a normal human, better for us!
-Jeffery : I take full responsibility!! You are clear to fire! Do it!
-Crowe : Ahhhh!!

-Renton : When did you get on that monster!
-??? : I’ll fill in the gaps for you. Using my full strength!
-Kamina : He's coming for us!
-Tieria : Wait! We shouldn't fight an enemy when we don't know what they're capable of.
-Chirico : It doesn't matter. He's not going to let us go.
-Tamaki : A-Are you serious!
-Zero : We have two options, kill or be killed. If that's the case!
-Sumeragi : All machines, begin the assault! We'll eliminate the Unknown!
-Jeffery : Hit him with everything you've got! Don't let your guard down even for a moment!
-??? : Come on, give me everything you can muster. I'll devour your very souls!
-Crowe : (Damn! What the hell is that guy!?)
BATTLE STARTS
(??? fights anyone)
-??? : Something inside me is telling me... to gather the strong.
-??? : What wants me to do that? What's driving me to fight?
-??? : Why does my blood boil? Where is my true enemy?!!?
(Turn 4 starts)
-??? : You aren't strong enough, then.
-Alto : Shit! He's a real monster!
-Simon : It-It’s useless! We can't win against this!
-Kamina : Don't give up! If we turn our back, he'll eat us alive!
-Duo : Yeah well regardless, If we don't do something, things gonna go south fast!
-Koji : He's too strong! We can’t win!!
-Ryoma : This is it, Getter!
-Ozma : I’m sorry, Ranka…
-Zero : (I'm going to die… Destroyed by overwhleming power before I even get to face my true enemy!)
-??? : Tch… I guess I picked the wrong time to harvest.
-Ime : My king, you seem to be enjoying yourself.
-??? : Ime… Well… I'll give you a passing grade for now.
-Ime : I am honored that my work has pleased you.
-Crowe : Answer me, Ime! Who the hell is this guy!?
-Ime : Alright. Since you were invited, you have a right to know.
-Ime : One last present for a dead man.
-Crowe : Stop messing with us!!
-Ime : He is the one who controls all Dimension Beasts… The King of Destruction.
-Sumeragi : He controls the dimension beasts!?
-Jeffery : The king of destruction...
-Crowe : Destruction... So what, you wanna destroy the whole world now!?
-Ime : King. The door to the Insaraum has already been opened.
-??? : Then let's bring everyone in.
-??? : Move it you lot! This is our new hunting ground!
-Crowe : A new type of Dimension Beast!
-Takeru : They really do obey him!
-Quatre : There are also some machines that don't look like Dimension beasts!
-??? : …
-??? : …
-??? : Ime, I'm going.
-Ime : What is their purpose?
-??? : They'll find me someone who's worthy.
-Ime : Haha… I see you're still a free spirit. Then we will accompany you.
-Shioni : Ime! What are you going to do about Limonesia!?
-Carlos : Give it up, Shioni. There's no one left.
-Shioni : Carlos Axiom Jr! Are you okay with this!?
-Carlos : …
-Carlos : I didn't expect something like this to happen. But what's done is done.
-Carlos : What we need to do now is keep a positive mindset.
-Shioni : My… My Limonesia!!
-Carlos : Let’s go, Ime. There's no point in staying.
-Ime : That's right, Carlos. You're quick on the uptake.
-Carlos : Yeah.
-Crowe : Wait, Ime! I've got so many questions for you!
-Ime : Crowe… Don't you feel it?
-Crowe : What!?
-Ime : Even that much of the energy of creation couldn't awaken you. You've been a complete waste of my time and effort.
-Crowe : What do you mean!
-Ime : Goodbye, Crowe Bluste. You aren't even worth killing.
-Crowe : You summoned more Dimension Beasts!
-Ime : I will tell you one last thing though. Everything about Nein industries and modifying dimension beasts was a lie.
-Crowe : I knew it! You lied to us!
-Ime : Let's be honest. I'm a liar.
-Crowe : Ime Liard!!
-Aoyama : Stop, Crowe! Right now, we need to deal with these guys!
-Ibuki : I can't believe we're going up against this many Dimension Beasts when we're already this beat up.
-Akagi : And on top of that, those new guys look even stronger than the Rhinodamon class!
-Zero : (Overwhelming power… The king of destruction… I’m… I’m…)
-Kallen : What’s wrong, Zero!?
-Jeffery : There's no time to be discouraged! We need to fight to survive!
-Zero : Who so you think you're talking to, Captain!
-Zero : All units, focus your attacks on the new Dimension Beast! We'll defeat it and secure our escape route!
-Sumeragi : Right now, just focus on surviving! Provide cover for any units that are too damaged to fight!
(Some Dimension Beasts defeated)
-Feldt : Dimensional boundary distortion confirmed! Something is breaking through the dimensional barrier!
-Lasse : Not more Dimension Beasts!
-??? : …
-Renton : It's not a Dimension Beast! What is that!?
-??? : Really… I' ve been pulled back again…
(Looks at Dimension Beast)
-??? : You don't like me huh?
(??? moves to dimension beast)
-??? : I see… You're trapped in an unending Hell, just like me.
-??? : I'll unchain your soul!
-Koji : That black machine… It's helping us!?
-Akagi : Who cares! We need all the help we can get right now!
-Sumeragi : All units, intercept the Dimension Beasts! Don't touch that black machine!
-??? : …
-Crowe : Tch… I appreciate the help, but you're not much of a talker are you.
-??? : Really… Haha… Things are starting to make sense now.
(Crowe fights boss)
-Crowe : Damn it! It's even stronger than MD!
-Crowe : Seriously, what even are Dimension Beasts anyway? And what do the King of Destruction and Ime Liard have to do with them?
(if ??? is shot down)
-??? : I... can't even die
-??? : The pain will torment my body for all eternity. My soul wanders in an endless prison.
(Boss defeated)
-Monica : All remaining Dimension Beasts have withdrawn.
-Mikhail : Looks like we won…
-Alto : What the hell are you on about! Look around!
-Alto : An entire country just got wiped off the face of the planet, the guy behind it got away, and a monster bigger than anything we've seen before has appeared.
-Alto : How can you say we won!
-Ozma : Enough Alto…
-Ryoma : …
-Quatre : …
-??? : …
-Crowe : You saved our lives. Could you tell us your name?
-??? : Asakim Douwin. Or at least that's what I'm called now.
-??? : You?
-Crowe : It’s Crowe Bluste. Crowe’s fine.
-??? : Well Crowe, you're in luck. You're not worth killing quite yet.
-Crowe : !
-??? : So I'll be off to keep searching for peace.
-Watta : Who was that guy.
-Koji : He's was like the wind. A black gale.
-Crowe : Asakim Dowin… Who the hell are you…
-Chris : Sumeragi! Someone has hijacked all the communication lines across the world!
-Sumeragi : What the!?
-Chris : They're broadcasting a message to the whole planet!!
-Feldt : There's a video. I'll put it on the monitor!
NEXT SCENE
(Translators note: this scene's translations were taken from the LetsPlayArchive playthrough)
-Shioni : Attention, viewers all over the world, I am Shioni Regis, leader of a new empire: the Imperium.
Shioni : We of the Imperium have no land, our whole nation is the mobile fortress, Great Axion, and those that serve it.
Shioni : We demand to be recognized as a sovereign nation, and we demand absolute freedom.
Shioni : Anyone who interferes with us will be considered to infringe on that freedom, and we will respond with extreme prejudice.
Shioni : The Great Axion is currently moving southwest from coordinates 1271.
Shioni : The Harnes Federation, which lies on that path, has asked us to stay out of their airspace.
Shioni : We consider that a declaration of war. Our forces are composed of Dimension Beasts, and the world will see exactly what that entails two hours after this broadcast ends.
Shioni : Within two hours, the Harnes Federation will no longer exist.
Shioni : We are Imperium, a new empire. Know that all who try to control us will be met with force.
NEXT SCENE Area 11 - Britannia Government
-Cornelia : Imperium! Don't be ridiculous!
-Darlton : With all due respect, Viceroy. We've received reports that the location they first appeared, Limonesia, has been destroyed.
-Guilford : If they really can control Dimension Beasts, as Shioni Regis says, then this is a serious situation.
-Cornelia : What's going on in the homeland!?
-Darlton : The situation is currently under control…
-Cornelia : Then as Area 11's Viceroy, I command you! Recall the purebloods who have joined the Allied forces!
-Darlton : We would have to go through the UN Peacekeeping Council to do that!
-Cornelia : Don't be an idiot! If what she says is true, then the United Nations no longer have meaning!
-Cornelia : Imperium is going to destroy everything in their path, laws be damnned!
-Guilford : But!
-Cornelia : The world is changing. If we make the wrong move, It will change into a new hell.
NEXT SCENE Ashford Academy - Student Council Room
-Saji : Imperium…
-Rivalz : H-Hey! I heard that the Harness Federation really is getting attacked by the Dimension Beasts!
-Milly : So that Shioni woman was telling the truth!
-Shirley : What's happening to the world?
-Nunnally : Brother…
-Louise : It’s alright, Nunnally! I'm sure Lelouch will come back safe and sound!
-Saji : That’s right. Lelouch is studying in France, so he's not in any danger.
-Nunnally : Thank you, Louise, Saji.
-Rivalz : Isn't it Suzaku who's in trouble? Cos you know... He's a soldier.
-Shirley : I heard that Suzaku works for a military research institute, so I don't think he gets involved with direct combat.
-Relena : (Heero… The world is about to be engulfed in a new battle.)
-Relena : (Where are you now… I hope you're safe.)
NEXT SCENE Singapore City
-Kinue : An indiscriminate attack on the Harness Federation! We can't let this continue!
-Isabelle : Where are you going, Kinue!?
-Kinue : We're going to Harness! It's less than two hours away!
-Isabelle : …
-Kinue : What's the matter Isabelle!? As a journalist, I can't allow this outrage to continue!
-Kinue : We need to show the whole world Imperium's evil!
-Isabelle : Wait, Kinue. This is unlike any war we've ever covered.
-Isabelle : It's definitely going to change the world as we know it.
-Kinue : What do you mean?
-Isabelle : Imperium's appearence is like dropping a stone in a pond, No… It would be more accurate to call them a meteor.
-Isabelle : The ripples will spread across the entire pond, and there's a chance they might just destroy it entirely.
-Kinue : They might destroy the world...
-Isabelle : I'm sure the Gundams and Dancouga will act agaisnt them. So we need to look at the bigger picture. To show everyone how quickly the world is changing.
NEXT SCENE France - Paris - Hotel Room
-Ranka : Sh-Sheryl…
-Sheryl : Calm down, Ranka.
-Ranka : But if a war breaks out, my brother and Alto!
-Sheryl : It’s alright.
-Ranka : But!
-Sheryl : It’s alright!
-Ranka : Sheryl…
-Sheryl : I'm sorry for shouting. But getting all upset like this won't help anyone.
-Ranka : …
-Sheryl : I'm sure your brother and Alto will fight as hard as they can. Against immesurable odds.
-Sheryl : So what about us?
-Ranka : Huh…
-Sheryl : If they are going to fight, what can we do?
-Ranka : Sing.
-Sheryl : Yeah. So we will sing. We'll do everything we can while keeping those dear to us in our hearts.
-Ranka : Right!
-Ranka : (Brother, Alto… Come back safely.)
-Sheryl : (Alto… You've got two lovely ladies waiting for you. If you die, I'll never forgive you.)
NEXT SCENE UN Headquarters - Ambassador’s Room
-Lady : We have just received word that the Harness Federation has been destroyed.
-Schneizel : But It's only been an hour and 55 minutes since their declaration.
-Alejandro : It was certainly a suprise that something like that was hidden in Limonesia.
-Alejandro : However, I believe Imperium should be viewed as being under the direct control of Shioni Reigis and Axiom's president, rather than Limonesia itself.
-Treize : Lady…
-Lady : Yes.
-Treize : Do you think we could have saved Harness if we had ordered the Allied Forces to move in on Limonesia?
-Lady : We may have been able to buy a little more time before Harness was destroyed, but that's all.
-Treize : But we could have used that time to save lives.
-Schneizel : …
-Alejandro : It can't be helped, Lord Treize. We are not Gods, as I'm sure you're aware, there's nothing we could have done to forsee this.
-Schneizel : There is no God, that is what we are here for.
-Schneizel : Alejandro… We should never say there was nothing we could have done
-Alejandro : My apoligies, Your Highness.
-Treize : I'll never forget this day. We can't allow this blatant destruction to happen ever again.
-Lady : Treize…
-Schneizel : We will oficially disband the Allied Forces. Each nation must prepare for the battle against Imperium.
-Alejandro : How is His Majesty Charles taking this?
-Schneizel : We haven't been able to reach his majesty. I've been told he has shut himself in his office.
-Alejandro : I'm sure that even His Majesty is troubled by this incident.
-Schneizel : (I doubt he would care about something like this.)
-Treize : So our plans are now off the table.
-Alejandro : But Imperium's appearence will push the world to change just like we wanted.
-Schneizel : All they will bring is more pointless conflict, causing even more bloodshed.
-Treize : (ZEXIS… The world has been thrown into chaos.)
-Treize : (I'm counting on you. Perhaps you will be the ones set the world right.)
NEXT SCENE ???
-Charles : All your struggles and desires are pointless.
-Charles : Schneizel… And Imperium… You'll find out soon enough.
-Charles : The day will come when people can have anything...
NEXT SCENE ???
(Translators note: this scene's translations were taken from the LetsPlayArchive playthrough)
-Elgan : …...
-Elgan : Yes, I know. It may well be important.
-Elgan : That's why I let the girl do as she wished, knowing full well that it would cost many lives.
-Elgan : ...
-Elgan : Irrelevant. If we cannot defeat it, we have no future.
-Elgan : If it destroys the world first, it may as well.
-Elgan : Pandora's Box was full of curses, but at the very bottom was hope.
-Elgan : Yes, it may be false hope. I know humans can think they see hope where none exists. But we can only have faith.
-Elgan : Faith that ZEXIS, and that our... visitors will bring real hope to the human race.
NEXT SCENE Pacific Ocean - Great Axiom - Bridge
-Ime : First, let us celebrate Imperium's first victory.
-Shioni : I-Ime! You're a bastard!
-Ime : That was a brilliant speech, Shioni.
-Ime : Between your excellent speech and our effecient destruction of Harness, Imperium is now feared by all mankind.
-Shioni : But!
-Ime : I am truly sorry about what happened to Limonesia.
-Ime : But don't forget… It was you yourself who destroyed Limonesia
-Shioni : !
-Ime : So, what do you think? How does it feel to destroy something so precious to you with your own two hands?
-Shioni : Ah… Ahhh…
-Ime : And that sense of loss has lifted you to great heights.
-Ime : Before, you were merely the foreign minister of a small country, but now you have the ability to be the first parliamentary secretary of Imperium.
-Shioni : Stop! Just stop!!
-Carlos : I need an explanation, Ime. Whose this king of destruction you brought over.
-??? : …
-Ime : I'm not sure exactly how to put it into words, but he is what you wanted, the power to change the world.
-Carlos : Sure, that's what I wanted. I was hoping that this rotten world would be destroyed.
-Carlos : But Project Uzume was supposed to channel massive amounts of energy from parallel universes.
-Ime : That energy is the King of Destruction.
-Ime : I borrowed some of his Dimension Beasts so he could cross the dimensional barrier, that was the purpose of the project.
-Shioni : You! You told me that I would be able to use the vast amount of energy and the Dimension Beasts to bend the world to my will!
-Shioni : That's why we cooperated with you! And yet!!
-Ime : Haha… For once I didn't actually lie. In fact, hasn't exactly what I said come to pass?
-Carlos : I get it. We lost because we weren't able to see your true end goal, the King of Destruction.
-Carlos : We were tried to use you, and we payed the price for it.
-Ime : What can I do to make you feel better, Carlos? Do you want to leave Imperium?
-Carlos : No way! Remember what I said back at Limonesia? I'm going to live with a positive mindset.
-Carlos : You certainly weren't lying. That king is a world-changing force. But It's more than I can handle.
-??? : …
-Carlos : However, as Imperium's sponsor I also have a say in things. The name King of Destruction is so cheesy.
-Carlos : His new name is Gaio. And the huge throne he rides into battle on will be called the Geiltran.
-??? : Gaio and Geiltran…
-Carlos : Do you not like them?
-??? : I'm a man who's lost his entire past. I have no companions or memories, so I don't remember my name.
-??? : I like the name you gave me. From now on, I'll call myself Gaio.
-Carlos : I am glad you are pleased, Gaio.
-Ime : So, Gaio… Please give me your orders.
-Gaio : I've lost everything, but there is one thing etched into my brain, a command.
-Gaio : The command to fight.
-Shioni : Fighting…
-Gaio : From now on, this whole world will be my hunting ground. Find me someone strong enough to make my blood boil.
-Gaio : Flesh and blood! The soul! All of it! I, Gaio, will devour everything!!
