Story/Emergency 9-4 (Part2)/Script

[Battle ends.]

Judge: The scent of the AR Team in the air. The ground is littered with Sangvis remains. An empty factory with a signal transmitter inside.
What an insult if you’re planning to ambush me here.

RO635: Now!

Negev: Attack! Attack! Kill her here!

[...Griffin forces their ferocious firepower on Judge, but she remains unscathed.]

Judge: So you’re firing from three different directions…Interesting.

RO635: We can’t even damage her even like this!? SOP II!

M4 SOPMOD II: Taste this grenade!

[...The grenade strikes Judge’s weapons systems.]

RO635: SOP II! Go!

M4 SOPMOD II: That’s a little surprise for you! We meet again, midget!

Judge: Tch…

M4 SOPMOD II: Oh my…first time seeing this expression on your face. Looks like you aren’t having fun anymore.
If bullets can’t hurt you, then I’ll defeat you with my hands!

Judge: I don’t know where you’re getting your confidence from, but the Mastermind does not wish for your death...so I have no need to take you seriously.

RO635: Are you still trying to bluff in a situation like this?
Judge, you’re under our control now. Surrender immediately and tell us where M16 is!
I’ll guarantee your safety, or at least ensure that SOP II won’t touch you!

Judge: Control? Surrender? How delusional.
I only came here because I was curious about the AR Team signal, yet it turned out to be you bunch again... What a waste of my time.
Also...it looks like the person picking me up has arrived.

RO635: Picking you up?

Judge: Why is it that bastard again… Doesn’t Master have anyone else to send?

RO635: Judge! Didn’t you hear me? Surrender immediately!

[...Judge glances at RO.]
[...She suddenly raises her left hand toward the Griffin forces.]

RO635: …! EMP! Careful!

M4 SOPMOD II: Ah!

Negev: Dammit! Was she always this fast...?

[...The sound of a motor fills the air.]

Judge: Farewell, everyone.
I’ll acknowledge your efforts even though you missed your target.
Hopefully, you’ll still have a chance to find her next time...

[...Judge jumps onto the transport aircraft.]

Dreamer: Oh my my...
...Maybe she won’t be the same ”her" next time...

RO635: ......!

[On the Sangvis Ferri transport aircraft.]

Dreamer: Good work, Miss Judge.

Judge: Save it. You never intended to pick me up in the first place.

Dreamer: How could that be? This is Elisa’s order.

Judge: Elisa’s order should’ve only been to let the AR Team go free.

Dreamer: Hehe, and what difference is there between the two?
Besides, Elisa really needs you right now. She personally ordered us to convene.

Judge: Tell me what’s going on.

Dreamer: I’m not too sure myself, but Master Elisa said she “saw some dangerous things in the distance.”

Judge: Something that even Elisa would find “dangerous”...
…...
No way...

Dreamer: Our enemies…may not be limited to just the T-Dolls of Griffin anymore.
This party…is finally getting started...

[...Several minutes later, the Griffin T-Dolls begin to regain their consciousness.]

RO635: Can you guys move?

Negev: My body is back to normal, but my neural cloud is still hazy. The others should be up now.
If I had known that she’d be this tough, I would’ve taken stronger measures.

RO635: Sorry, I was too hasty.

Negev: Don’t dwell on it. I haven’t come across a monster like her in a long time. Not bad at all.
The other reinforcements are arriving now. I’ll head over to greet them, then we’ll consider our next steps.
Go return now. Someone’s waiting for you.

RO635: Thanks for your help. We’ll leave the perimeter to you...
...Wait. You said someone’s waiting for us?

Negev: It’s nothing too important, so don’t look forward to it.

[...Negev leaves.]

RO635: ...A strange person indeed.
SOP II, you fine?

M4 SOPMOD II: Yeah…I’m doing okay… Still, Judge managed to escape us in the end...

RO635: Judge was far more formidable than we thought. It’s a miracle that no one was hurt this time.

M4 SOPMOD II: RO, do you think…Dreamer was speaking the truth?

RO635: …...

M4 SOPMOD II: I...thought that…as long as I worked just a little bit harder and killed just a few more Sangvis, then M16 would be able to return...
But now… Is it…
Not that simple anymore...

RO635: I don’t know...
I…thought that I was prepared, that I found my direction…
But I didn’t… I haven’t done anything right at all…
If only someone could tell me what I must do…
Maybe I should talk to the Commander after we get back...

M4 SOPMOD II: …...

RO635: What’s the matter?

M4 SOPMOD II: …...
RO, that T-Doll over there...

RO635: …...!

???: It’s been a while...

M4A1: …SOP II, and Miss RO635.

[...For a second I thought SOP II would leap onto M4.]
[But she did not. She’s just standing there, or perhaps some force is preventing her from moving.]
[I know that she’s checking the Doll in front of her against the companion in her memories, just like what I’m doing...]
[Despite the fact that she is indeed M4A1 in the flesh. An awake M4A1, the leader of the AR Team whom I had always heard about and wanted to meet.]
[And so, we officially meet under such circumstances.]

RO635: Miss M4A1, it’s an honor to meet you...

M4A1: There’s nothing to be honored about. We’re just variants of the same model.

M4 SOPMOD II: M4, are you...fine?

M4A1: I’m fine. You must’ve worked hard, SOP II.
Is that thing...M16’s?

M4 SOPMOD II: M4…sorry, M16 is...

M4A1: ...I heard. Both of you have done very well, thank you.
Get in the car. We’re starting an operation soon.

RO635: Operation? What operation?

M4A1: ......

[M4A1 glances at me, and I see a gaze so filled with emotions that it is narrow and ruthless.]
[I know those eyes. They’re the vengeful eyes of those who have lost themselves, just like the occasional glimpses I caught on M16A1.]

M4A1: An operation personally announced by Mr. Kryuger. An operation of the highest priority...
That is...the operation to annihilate the Mastermind.
