Search for the Lost Unit III

When we were in the 1000 Year Ark, we managed to drive out the KMS-backed Leviathan III. But now that it's lost Levia, the key to its system, we don't know when it's gonna go berserk again.

And with him on the loose, history could repeat itself, and that tragedy of ancient times could be just around the corner! What the god of destruction did could always happen again...

What me and Leviathan did?

The probability of Leviathan III rampaging is over 93%. It is an unavoidable matter of time.

We simply have to stop him before that happens!

I will put Leviathan III to sleep. He's all I have left of my sister, he's my responsibility!

And we'll help you out. We can't let Leviathan III be the bad guy here.

All right. Then let's search inside the 1000 Year Ark. Since he's not causing chaos outside, he must still be lurking in there. If we want to stop him, we have to do it now.

Aldo, over there!

It's Leviathan III! We found him!

Looks like he's shut down? It sure would be great if he just carried on sleeping...

Wha?! He woke up!

Rapid energy spike detected from Leviathan III!

Is that bad?!

Watch out, everyone! Here it comes!

Wha?! Leviathan!

What the! What just happened?!

Leviathan, what's going on?!

The trap has been activated. Just as with the tragedy in ancient times.

Synth Humans! So you've finally shown your faces.

Trap? Ancient times? What do you mean?

Leviathan?!

Leviathan?! My Leviathan?!

Greeh! It is a device to seal Leviathan in the 1000 Year Ark?!

Leviathan has shut down entirely. Radio silence. No response detected.

Gah! This was your aim?! That's why Levia called us all the way here? It was all just for this?

Then why didn't Levia use this device in the first place?

What?! But why?

Levvie... I think she chose to fight with you. She wanted to do it on her own, fair and square.

......

How could you say that?

Ngh!

Heavens, no! Leviathan III...

Aldo?! We have to do something!

Yeah, I know. It'll be a complete disaster if he starts running wild outside! Come on, we need to get out of here and see what he's up to!

Levvie, we have to find Leviathan III. We're going after him. What will you do?

You can't leave Leviathan on his own here, can you?

No, I'll go with you. There's nothing I can do for him here, anyway.

Leviathan... Can you hear me?

I'm sorry! There's nothing I can do to help you right now. But Lev III is all I have to remember my sister by. I can't leave him like this. I'll sort it out and come right back. Wait for me, okay?

All right, let's go, Levvie! Come on, everyone!

Yeah, let's go!

Hurry!

Eeeek!

Ngh! Leviathan III...

And the Synth Humans!

Oh no! They're really going to town on this place!

Aldo?! What in the world is going on?!

Are you okay, Sheila?! I'll fill you in later. We'll take care of this. Just get everybody to safety!

Got it! Be careful, Aldo!

Will do!

Come on everyone, this way!

I hate to rain on your parade, but I'm afraid you're gonna have to face us now!

We did it! Are the Dragon Palace folks okay?

The fire's gone out, at least. Looks like we've turned things around.

Aldo! They've gone to the All-knowing Ammonite!

What?! She survived into this era?

She said she wanted nothing more to do with the world, now that she's grown so old. She's been living here as a recluse, but she wanted it kept secret. Sorry for not saying anything.

They said they had one more job to do. They must've meant her!

Those confounded Synth Humans! To think they were after Lady Ammonite!

We have to save her!

Let's go, Aldo! The All-knowing Ammonite's in danger!

We'd better hurry! We can't let them get away with this!

What a strange life. I hear you've lived a very long time indeed. Longer than I can ever imagine. So why don't you come with me? Some people have taken a great interest in you. They're waiting for you in the future.

I'll pass. This joke's gone far enough.

Then I will have to take you by force. I made a deal, I'm afraid. And I'm not gonna break it. But this world will soon disappear anyway, now that Leviathan III has started to rampage. No one can stop it. So you'd be better off coming with me, don't you think? There's no hope for you here.

No hope? 'Fraid not. My hope's right behind ya!

What?

Lady Ammonite!

Are you okay?!

Never better.

You again? You sure are persistent, aren't you? Don't you know when to give up? Fine. I'll let Lev III deal with you.

Oh no! Leviathan!

Leviathan III is heading toward the Central Keep!

We can't let it do any more damage! Come on, after it!

Stop this, Leviathan! You've gotta calm down! My sister left you to me! So I can't let you do this! I won't let you be the next god of destruction!

I won't let that tragedy happen again!

So it's on, Leviathan! Me and my friends are gonna put you to sleep!

Let's go! We have to stop it, no matter what!

Did it work?

Not yet, Aldo! He's still very much alive!

That's right. Leviathan III has yet to shut down. But he will reach critical point if he is unable to control his space-time distortion system. It is only a matter of time until he causes a dimensional implosion engulfing the whole of Dragon Palace, annihilating all in its path.

We'll never let you get away with that!

Shouldn't you be running away before you get caught in the implosion?

No, not really. I have already transferred all of my data to HQ. It won't matter in the slightest if my physical form perishes here.

You are replaceable, is that what you are saying?

Shame as it is that we were unable to capture materials for our experiments, that's just the way it is. My friends at KMS certainly won't complain, not with all this valid data collected. Farewell, ladies and gentlemen.

Enjoy what little time you have left before the world ends.

This is bad! This is really bad! We're all gonna go down with Lev III if we're not careful!

But what should we do, Aldo?

We should find a way to stop Lev III! No, we HAVE to find a way! We can't let Levvie feel the regret and despair she felt before ever again!

Aldo...

No objections from me... But where did Leviathan III fly off to?

He's gone to the 1000 Year Ark.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm certain of it. That's where your Leviathan's sleepin', right, Pearlie? He'll've gone there instinctively, to be with his true brethren.

Lev III's gone to Leviathan?

He knows he ain't gonna last long.

So he wants to be with his own kind in his final moments?

Aldo, let's go! We've gotta stop him! We've gotta do something!

Yeah, you're right. We don't know how long we have until he blows up the whole world... We have to keep trying until the very end!

Yeah, let's go guys!

Be careful.

We'll be off then!

See ya!

There's Lev III!

Just as the All-knowing Ammonite said. He came back here.

The problem is, what do we do now?

Leviathan!

Listen to me, Leviathan! You can't hold this in! Unless we do something, it's gonna destroy the whole world!

Ack!

Stop! Stop it!

Eeeek!

Oh no! What should we do? We're not strong enough to completely destroy him!

But that means the world's gonna...

Irregular gravitational waves detected from Lev III! Hypothesis: Critical point imminent!

This is not good at all! At this rate...

I will stop you! I swore to stop you!

I won't lose! I won't let my sister's other self become the god of destruction!

Leviathan?!

It broke the seal?!

But does Leviathan have enough power left to fight?!

Leviathan!

He does not appear to be strong enough to face him after all!

......

It's okay. You can stop now, Leviathan...

Was that all he had in him?

Leviathan?! What is he...

What the?! No way! Is Leviathan gonna make sure that they self-destruct together?

Are you for real?!

No way...

Stop! Leviathan, please don't do it!

Leviathan?!

Were they both destroyed?

......

......

What's that?

Lev III?!

Lev III and the original have merged together?! No, wait... The first Leviathan has absorbed Lev III?!

I would expect nothing less of a living Synth Riftbreaker! Sibling ship to Synth Hydra!

Well done! You did great, Leviathan. I knew I could count on you, my irreplaceable other half.

You and me... We'll always be together.

Phew! Looks like you came out on top in the end! Thanks, Aldo. You're a real lifesaver.

I was pretty worried there for a moment, but Levvie saved the day.

You did so well, Levvie!

Yes, you were most magnificent. I am rather impressed, I must say.

You really were. You were so cool, Levvie.

Stop, you're making me blush!

But it was a piece of cake! Takes more than that to make me fret! Heheheh.

The god of destruction who once wrought disaster is now a savior who brought protection. An' ain't it good news that the memento from your sister didn't turn into a monster that destroyed the world. I'm real glad for you, Pearlie.

It makes me so happy to hear you say that.

Levia's soul, and now Lev III, are in my and Leviathan's care...

Now, let's put this "Pearlie" name to rest, okay? You know I hate it!

Okay, okay. Whatever you say, Pearlie.

Grrr!

But I wish you would have told us that you were alive and well...

I concur with Aldo. It wasn't very friendly of you, you know.

Oh, what rot. I'm so very old. I just wanted to stay home an' live in peace. Anyway, Dragon Palace is in good hands with you an' Sheila to keep it safe.

Okay, I get it. We'll do whatever we can. But if we ever need your help again, don't leave us in the lurch. Okay?

Fine. If the time ever comes, you can always come to me. You're my dearest friends, after all.

Thank you.

Mission accomplished. Data collection complete!
