()M950A||9<黑屏2>:However...
()M950A||<黑屏1>:The Military's forces caught up with us soon enough. +That's how we've been backed into this corner...
()||70<黑屏2>BGM_Room:...In the abandoned safe house.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:That's a complete account of the events before you crashed.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:Dammit...
()||AVG_tele_connect:Click.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:950, keep quiet. The sensors are picking something up. They're nearby.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:Thunder, just leave me here.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:... +Even if I make it out alone, they'll catch me in the end. +Besides, our ultimate objective is to save the Commander.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:I... +I can't think of any way to shake them off.
()||AVG_tele_connect:Click, click, click. The sensors indicate that the Military is fast approaching their location.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:...
Thunder50(0)||:Thunder puts a finger to her lips.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:950, I know you've got something.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:What do you mean...?
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:I know what you've been thinking... +You say you can't find a way because you don't want to make any sacrifices.
()M950A||<震屏>BGM_Empty:No!
()||:Thunder and M950A stare at each other. +After a brief silence...
Thunder50(0)Thunder||BGM_Wake:The Military will find us soon. +I'll draw them away and self-destruct.
Thunder50(0)||ClothingUp:Thunder takes out the explosives in her backpack and starts rigging them onto herself.
Thunder50(0)M950A||<震屏>:I said no! +Are you asking me to crawl my way to the Commander like this?!
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:It's your idea to begin with... I'm the only one who can draw the Military away. +More importantly...950, I want you and the Commander to live.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:No... I won't ever... agree to this!
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:If we win, there will be another Thunder. +Then I can become your friend once more.
()||:M950A turns away.
()M950A||:No, that'll be someone else...
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:...Are you sure?
()M950A||:I'm certain.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:You've never lost me before...
()||:M950A turns back again.
Thunder50(0)M950A||:It'd be too late by the time I lose you! +I cherish every single person I've encountered and every meeting we've had is special! +It's because of everyone, because of you that I'm the M950A you know!
Thunder50(0)Thunder||<黑屏1>:...950, you've changed.
()M950A||9<黑屏2><黑屏1>:You're right, I have... I used to hate myself for being so by-the-book and not being able to find my way. +But having met you all, I finally understood... +A destiny that's entirely my own has always been right before me. I enjoy walking this path with you...
()M950A||70<黑屏2>:I've come to love myself! +Thunder, will you keep loving me as well?
Thunder50(0)Thunder||BGM_Empty:Yes... No matter what happens, I'll always love you. +... +...But we only have 30 more seconds until the Military finds us. +If you still can't think of anything by then, I'll have no choice but to go outside.
()M950A||:Okay!
()||:As the seconds tick by, the air in the safe house grows dry.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:...
Thunder50(0)||:Thunder stands guard next to the entrance and gazes wordlessly at M950A.
()M950A||:The Military assault team is comprised of both human soldiers and mech units. We can't ambush them.
()||:Ten seconds have passed.
()M950A||:Normal traps aren't likely to work against their leader...
()||:Another five seconds have passed.
()M950A||:What should I do...? I have a very bad feeling about this.
()||:20 seconds have now passed.
()M950A||:I can't think of anything. +But I'll never send Thunder to her death. +Is there really no other way?!
()||:Last five seconds. +M950A's eyes sweep across the entire safe house, then...
()M950A||:We've still got time... There's still...
()||:Clang - a metallic sound echoes around the room.
()M950A||:Thun—
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_n:Bang - a gunshot.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:!
()||:Thunder crashes onto the floor like a marionette with its strings cut.
()M950A||:Thunder!
()||ClothingUp:M950A drags herself towards Thunder...
()M950A||:ARGHHH—
()||AVG_whitenoise:The electronic device is hacking into her neural cloud. +The Military has thrown an EMP grenade into the safe house.
()M950A||:It was me... +Thunder died...because of me... +What 30 seconds...? War isn't a game... If I had just asked Thunder to run...
()Thunder||:9...50...
()M950A||:Thunder! +She's still conscious! I have to get her to the repair bay...!
()||:M950A pulls Thunder up with all her might. +However—
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_n<黑屏1>:Bang... M950A also drops like a log.
()||<黑屏1><黑屏2>9BGM_Sneak:A soldier walks over.
NPC-Soldier(0)Assault Team Leader||<黑屏2>70:Prepare to take them apart.
NPC-Soldier(0);NPC-Yegor(3)Assault Team Member||:Yes, sir. Which one do we start with?
NPC-Soldier(0)Assault Team Leader;NPC-Yegor(3)||:The one with the white hair. Tear off her limbs so she can't run off.
NPC-Soldier(0);NPC-Yegor(3)Assault Team Member||<黑屏1>:Yes, sir.
()||9<黑屏2>BGM_Empty:I hate myself. +They don't deserve this fate. +I hope my choice will make it up to them.
()||:...
()M950A||:I'm sorry...Thunder...
()???||:Giving up already?
()M950A||:Who is that...?
()???||:Answer me - are you admitting defeat?
()M950A||:... +Never! If I had the chance...
()???||:If you had the chance...?
()M950A||:I'd beat them all to a pulp and bury them so deep they'll never get any closer to Thunder!
()???||:Understood. Enhancement parameters confirmed. +Now, let me help you.
()||BGM_stage9:M950A senses that her data port is being forced open and multiple modules are being repaired and rewritten one after the other.
()M950A||:Can you answer me now...? Who exactly are you?
()???||:I've restored part of your visual module. You should be able to see a bit now.
()||:M950A forces her eyes open. Though her vision is still largely impaired, she can just about make out a tiny figure directly in front of her.
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:I'm with Griffin. You can call me Origin. I'm talking to you through a baseline connection so don't worry about being overheard. +Give me some time. I've already started the process of reforging your body.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:...You can do that?
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:I have the ability to repair and remake Dolls, though the researchers disagree.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:Why is that...?
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:There are two possibilities - one, they've reached the wrong conclusion about me; two, they're being kind. I believe there's a 94% probability that it's the latter.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A|0,350||:Then...why are you here?
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:I've been searching for a purpose...so I came to the battlefield. +To tell you the truth, I've always hated myself.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:...!
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏1>BGM_Empty:We're quite alike, aren't we?
NPC-Soldier(0)Assault Team Leader||70<黑屏2>:Start dismantling them.
NPC-Soldier(0);NPC-Yegor(3)Assault Team Member||:Yes, sir. +...Uh, sir, our comms are picking up some kind of noise.
NPC-Soldier(0)Assault Team Leader;NPC-Yegor(3)||:Noise?
NPC-Soldier(0);NPC-Yegor(3)Assault Team Member||DJMAX_PlasticMethod:Sounds a bit like... music?
NPC-Soldier(0);NPC-Yegor(3)Soldier<通讯框>||AVG_tele_connect:Report - a group of Griffin drones have appeared in the northwest. They're heading our way and hacking into our comms. +Our heat detectors indicate that they're carrying a small amount of explosives. My guess is we're looking at a suicide attack.
NPC-Yegor(3)Assault Team Leader||<黑屏1>:Humph, how is it suicide when they're just lumps of metal? +Switch over to radio communications. Two of you stay behind, the rest come with me to wipe them out.
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||9<黑屏2>:Looks like the others are catching up. We can't let them find out you're being rebuilt.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:Is someone drawing them away?
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:Correct, you probably know them. A pair of sisters and a girl with rabbit ears.
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:It's Sehra, Nina, and Suee...
Fairy_origin(0)Prototype Fairy0,350||:The repair is going to take some time. +Would you like to hear the story of how I got here?
Fairy_origin(0)M950A0,350||:Sure.
()||:Like a running tape, the Prototype Fairy's memories come flooding into M950A's neural cloud.
()Prototype Fairy||<黑屏1>:As the world before you grows larger, the more choices you have to face. +There are some people can always make choices in dire, crucial moments... to advance, or to retreat... +Then, there are some who only stay rooted to the spot, fraught with indecisiveness. +I hate people like that.
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏2>99:So this is...the battlefield?
()||:The Prototype Fairy hides beneath a piece of rubble.
()||Explode:BOOM!
()||:Explosion after explosion...and the occasional screams of Dolls.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:950, wake up!
M950A(0)M950A||:...
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||:That T-Doll is under electronic interference. I can probably repair her.
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:950!
()||Explode:BOOM! Another artillery barrage has begun. +M950A gets caught in the blast and her legs are ripped clean off.
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||:!
Thunder50(0)Thunder||:Hang in there, 950!
()||:Thunder carries herself on her back and runs in the other direction.
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||:I'm meant to assist them in battle, but I'm frozen stiff at a time like this... +Do we advance? Or should we fall back? ...No, I can't decide. +I hate...myself.
()||AVG_rifle_finalshot_nBGM_Empty:Bang! +A stray bullet hits the Prototype Fairy.
()Prototype Fairy||:Error - 0xc0000225
()||:The Prototype Fairy falls to the ground.
Fairy_crit(0)Fury Fairy0,350||:Are you new? You can't space out on the battlefield!
()Prototype Fairy||:Error- 0xc0000001
Fairy_crit(0)Fury Fairy0,350||:Oh boy, even the processor is kaput.
FairyTaunt(0)Taunt Fairy0,350||<黑屏1>:Don't just stand there, prepare to provide support. +And can someone haul this unfortunate idiot back?
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏2>22<回忆>:Researcher, may I ask you a question?
()Female Researcher||:Sure, Origin. What do you want to know?
Fairy_origin(2)Prototype Fairy0,350||:Why don't you destroy me? You said I have no ability whatsoever, which means I have no reason to exist. +Sustaining my activity will only be a waste of resources.
()Female Researcher||:No, Origin.
()||:The female researcher bends down and rests her right fist on the Prototype Fairy's chest.
Fairy_origin(2)Female Researcher0,350||<黑屏1>:A reason to exist is something you need to look for yourself. +I hope you can find what you are meant to do the way we humans do.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏2><关闭蒙版>46:...
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Have you regained consciousness?
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:Affirmative. According to my combat records, I've created trouble for you. Sorry about that.
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Don't mention it. I've only moved you here. +Speaking of which, you look kinda different than before.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:It's the price for repairing myself. Don't worry about it. +Are you... listening to music?
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Yeah, I'll be heading to the frontlines after this song. +Do you like music?
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:Not particularly. But why are you listening to music?
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:You're strange. Why would I need a reason? +Still, I suppose I do it to make some happy memories.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:Happy memories?
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Yeah, I want to remember the happy times even if I'm about to confront the enemy.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:That makes no sense. It's just a waste of time.
DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Heheh, there are things that make even less sense - such as two people taking a walk during the apocalypse.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||:What?
Fairy_origin(1)0,350;DJMAXSUEE(0)0,350||:The Fairy with silver hair and rabbit ears offers a pair of earphones to the Prototype Fairy.
Fairy_origin(1)0,350;DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||<黑屏1>DJMAX_OnlyForYou:Wanna listen? Just a song, and a story...about finding yourself.
()Prototype Fairy||<边框>2边框><黑屏2>144:... +You said you hate yourself and have given up on yourself...? +Then how did she get back on her feet?
()Fairy with Rabbit Ears||<边框>2边框>:Don't you understand? +No matter how low she falls, she always has friends who trust her by her side. These friends help her.
()Prototype Fairy||<边框>2边框>:So her friends found their reason to live because of her?
()Fairy with Rabbit Ears||<边框>2边框>:No, but her friends walked with her as she found her way.
()Prototype Fairy||<边框>2边框>:Was she lost?
()Fairy with Rabbit Ears||<黑屏1>3黑屏1><边框>2边框>:Maybe, maybe not. +But in the end, she found her direction and started to accept herself.
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏2>3黑屏2>46<关闭蒙版>:It still makes no sense. That can't be the best course of action at the end of the world.
Fairy_origin(1)0,350;DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:But it's a course of action that will create wonderful memories, don't you think?
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350;DJMAXSUEE(0)0,350||:Affirmative. +I want to join them. +Maybe it's the story, maybe it's the song... +But I can finally bring myself to make a choice.
Fairy_origin(1)0,350;DJMAXSUEE(0)Fairy with Rabbit Ears0,350||:Heheh. +Are you going then?
Fairy_origin(1)Prototype Fairy0,350||<黑屏1>:Yes, be it you or them, everyone lives to make themselves happy. +In that case, instead of living aimlessly, I've decided to create happy memories for myself. +Do you mind helping me?
()M950A||70<黑屏2>:So those are your memories...
()Prototype Fairy||:The repair is complete. Giving you an opportunity - that's the memory that I'd like to give myself the most.
()M950A||:Thank you.
()Prototype Fairy||:Try to stand up.
()M950A||:But there are two soldiers guarding the door.
()Prototype Fairy||:Your performance has improved far beyond its past parameters. Trust me, stand up.
M950A(8)M950A||:Okay... +Wow! This gear...and my weapon... Did you make all this yourself?
()Prototype Fairy||:Correct. I recreated the physical appearance from your memory.
M950A(8)M950A||:Where are you? Let me hide you.
()Prototype Fairy||:Don't worry about me. Watch out for the enemy.
()||Gunfight:Bang bang bang! One of the guards fires three consecutive shots in M950A's direction.
M950A(9)||:M950 ducks beneath the mechanical bed out of reflex.
NPC-Soldier(0)||:By then, the other soldier has already dashed up to M950A. He takes out an EMP grenade from his backpack.
()||:Clang!
NPC-Soldier(0)Assault Team Member||:Arghhhh!
()||:M950A flings out an axe, slicing the soldier's hand clean off and knocking the grenade onto the floor.
M950A(9)M950A||:This is my...reaction speed?! Thanks, Origin!
M950A(8)M950A||:Then...I won't let them lay a finger on Thunder.
()||Gunfight:Bang bang bang. +The soldier at the door starts firing non-stop at M950A, sending sparks flying off the edge of the mechanical bed.
NPC-Soldier(0)||:Meanwhile, he has also fished out an EMP grenade, ready to throw it any moment.
M950A(8)||Explode:M950A lowers her center of gravity and gathers strength in her legs, then with a massive crash...
NPC-Soldier(0)Military Guard at the Door||<黑点1>:—!
()||<黑点2>99:She punches her way through the wall and makes it outside the safe house.
M950A(9)||AVG_pistol_finalshot_n:Bang.
()||<黑点1>:A bullet cracks open the soldier's helmet. He slumps onto the ground without even a chance to scream.
()||<黑点2>70:The other soldier who has lost a hand has also passed out due to excessive blood loss.
M950A(9)M950A||AVG_pistol_finalshot_n:I've neutralized...both of them.
M950A(8)||:M950A gently lifts Thunder off the floor.
M950A(8)M950A||:I'm taking you away from this place now. +Origin, where are you?
()||AVG_tele_disconnectBGM_Empty:Pzzt. +Only the sound of electricity buzzing could be heard.
M950A(8)M950A||:Origin? Was she caught in the blast?
()||:The electric crackling is coming from a corner of the house.
M950A(8)M950A||:What is that?
M950A(8)||AVG_footsteps_woodfloor:With Thunder on her back, M950A follows the sound into the corner, but finds no trace of the Prototype Fairy.
M950A(8)M950A||:Origin? Come with us.
()||:Then, she hears a teeny tiny voice. +She tries to locate its source...and eventually directs her gaze at the rubble on the floor... +Beneath the rubble, a vocal module is emitting sound.
M950A(8)M950A||:Origin...? Is that you?
()Prototype Fairy||:Affirmative...
()||:Pzzzt... The electric crackling is almost drowning out the voice.
M950A(8)M950A||:...What happened to you? That can't be the doing of some stray bullets.
()Prototype Fairy||GF_Memorial:This is...the price. +I was able to rebuild your body because I gave you my own parts.
M950A(8)M950A||:W-What?!
()Prototype Fairy||:It's nothing surprising. My ability has always been simple - give you Dolls support at the cost of myself. +I've known this since the moment of my creation.
()||:M950A suddenly recalls the conversation between the Protoype Fairy and the researcher.
M950A(8)M950A||:That's why the researcher said... +It was a...heavy price to pay.
()Prototype Fairy||:She...was so kind to me... She could've just given me an order.
()||:M950A's eyes grow moist.
M950A(8)M950A||:So you were created to sacrifice yourself for others... T-That's ridiculous!
()Prototype Fairy||:That's why she gave me a choice, and I don't regret making it. +It's a big world, I've met a lot of interesting people and done some interesting things. I'm content.
M950A(8)M950A||:Origin... You've had so little time.
()Prototype Fairy||:That's fine, I have happy memories, and thanks to you, I've found my way. +Thank you. I've come to love myself.
M950A(8)M950A||:—!
()Prototype Fairy||:Can I also be your friend?
M950A(8)M950A||:Of c—
()||AVG_bigglassbreak:Before M950A can finish, cracks appear on the Prototype Fairy's vocal module, breaking it into chunks in a matter of seconds.
()||ClothingUp:...M950A takes off her jacket and drapes it over the Fairy's remains.
M950A(8)M950A||:Of course.
M950A(8)||<黑屏1>:She then wipes her face forcefully. +Holding onto Thunder, she leaves the safe house...
