Blue Ocean/White Bus

Extra, extra! Get the scoop on today's big news right here!

There's an ocean on Moon Dubai now! The ancient beach in Area A is back in business!

Okay, I know I said this place could use more recreational facilities, but reopening a WHOLE OCEAN!?

I mean, we're still in the middle of an election here! Right, Fujimaru!?

？！

Oh, hey, you're right☆

Oh right, you guys came here for summer break, right? No wonder floaty rings and suntans look good on you☆

That does not apply to me. What about you, Jinako? Are you coming, too?

Me? Nah. Indoor gal here. Always have been.

I might just be able to handle an amusement park, but a beach? Way beyond me.

You guys go, have fun. I'll stay here and relax in my own equally fulfilling way.

Like, here. Check out the current area poll numbers.

？！

Yup, it is. Area A never had many votes to begin with, but they went down to zero the moment they got this ocean.

We should see what that's about, which is why I was thinking of sending field agents...

...but if you guys are going anyway, that'll be safer and more effective.

Anyway, like I said, don't worry about me. Just have fun and find out what you can about Area A's Moon Cancer!

And now, here we are, taking our familiar sandship ferry to Area A across the inland river.

Master, as our leader, is there anything you wish to say to us before we arrive at the beach?

？！

So we need to focus on safety and establishing a base. I get it.

But don't let your guard down. The moon getting an ocean is a big deal.

There's a good chance other Moon Cancers will show up. Enjoy the beach, but stay alert, too.

I'm not concerned. If we do run into other Moon Cancers, we'll be ready.

Between Mash, Lip, you, Bartholomew, myself, Lady Ciel as backup...

...and our Master, who's now back to his usual self...

...we should be able to handle just about any opponent we encounter.

That's a relief. My knees were knocking pretty badly when Jinako asked me to come along as your point of contact.

But now I can enjoy the beach. Hehehe.

Don't worry. If anything happens, just run back to the boat. I'll make sure it's ready to go at all times.

The guide says she doesn't want to go in the water either, so we'll just be waiting here at the wharf.

"We"? Does that mean you won't be going to the beach either, Mr. Roberts?

That's right. I might take a little walk if I feel like it, but I'm a sailor at heart.

I can't trust a sea that just popped up out of nowhere. So, just in case, I'll keep an eye out from here.

There is such a thing as being overly cautious...

Oh, pardon me. There was a small anomaly in our detection systems just now.

It could mean something is heading towards us. Shall I stop the ship?

No, let's keep going. If it's an obstacle, we'll get rid of it.

Sorry, guys, but would you mind keeping an eye on the river from the deck? We might be getting an unwelcome visitor from the sea.

I think I'll go, too. I was just about to do some warm-up exercises anyway. Oh, but first...

Fujimaru, I gave Kingprotea your message like you asked...

...but she said "No" because she hates the sea. I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.

...You sent Protea a message, Master?

？！

？！

...No, I don't think you were.

Protea is a good swimmer. Your idea of using the river to get here is a good one.

There must have been some other reason she refused. You have no cause to feel guilty.

Besides...

？！

...Never mind. It was just an idle thought. I'm going to go head up to the deck, too.

？！

Master! We have an, um, unexpected development!

Take a look up ahead!

Woohooo! No way we're missing out on a new rec facility! The Laughing Moon Knight Brigade's gonna be the first ones on the beach!

We're not letting you Area C shut-ins anywhere near that ocean! Get ready for some engine trouble!

MOOOOOOOOO!!!

That giant machine is trying to run us off the river! These belligerent tactics are right out of the Vikings' playbook!

That's not all! It's practically teeming with knights all trying to jump onto our ship!

It looks like

Hell yeah, we've been waiting for this! Wooo, Leader was right! Playing "Knights of the Round Table" rocks!

Knights of the Round Table?

I am so terribly sorry. Let's say that the Round Table's politics are...complicated and leave it at that, please.

It'll be fine. They're not a big threat. Let's just stay calm and take them out as they attack.

Not so fast, crab hands. You're gonna get hurt if you treat us just like all the other knights.

We're the double super elite! Once we hit our pain threshold, we like nothing more than blowing ourselves up!

？！

Khh. Boarding our boat and blowing themselves up is a twisted tactic, but I can't deny its effectiveness.

We could throw them back into the river one at a time, but if one of them blows up in the water, it could start a chain reaction that capsizes the ship!

Right. If this was the Seine River, that could lead to anything from flooding the city to wiping out humanity.

Talk about losing the battle to win the war, huh? But I won't let these AIs use absurd tactics like that on my watch!

Blowing yourself up when you're about to lose is no better than turning off your Wi-Fi in the middle of a game! We can't let them get away with it!

Yaaaaaah!

Which is why it's a good thing that BB Cosmo, friend to humanity, is back with a new type of jammer!

From one AI to another, I'm not about to let you play unfair! And that's why I've disabled your self-destruct mechanisms!

You what!? You mean you just decided to clamp down on our diversity!?

What? No. This is a warning.

You can have all the weird quirks you want, but keep them to yourself! Preferably behind locked doors!

Yup. Strictly speaking, it's not an ocean, but it sure does look just like the kind you'd see on Earth!

The view from here is amazing, too! It's just as magnificent as the one we saw in Dubai!

Ah, yes. This beach reminds me of the one we visited together.

It's just too bad Karna and Xu Fu aren't with us this time. I hope we can find them again soon.

You had a great swimsuit back then too, Lip! And you were unrivaled when it came to water splashing fights!

...A swimsuit? I used to wear a swimsuit?

You did! It was honestly hard to put the sight into words. In a good way, of course!

Speaking strictly for myself, I would say your swimsuit figure made this summer's top three. Easily.

...

A-are you okay, Lip!? Did you step on a sharp pebble or something?

No, it's not that. I was just so surprised to hear that.

You must have really been looking at my previous self closely.

Yes, of course! Your smiling face was positively radiant!

Hmm, very nice. We definitely shouldn't bother them now, since they're getting along so well.

So in the meantime, how about you and I deepen our relationship a little...Senpai?♡

？！

I sure can. I've finally completed my Moon Dubai jammer. Sorry it took so long.

But from now on, I'll be with you every step of the way, Master. Don't worry. I'll take care of everything♡

Oh, but first, I should tell you what I learned in the desert region.

Let me call the other Servants back from their fun on the beach and I'll regale you with another BB Channel Super Exposi

Wheeeeee! Beach! Swimsuits! Barbecuuueee!

Yes indeed, my friend! Gaze upon those waves! Feel the sun on your skin! I've never been more glad to be summoned to Moon Dubai!

And now, behold this diamond skin shining so brightly as to put even the sun's radiance to shame!

Wha

One, two, one, two! All units, haaalt!

I trust you've all read the new manual from cover to cover? Then deploy your formations!

Yes, sir, Mr. President! Commencing Operation Beach House!

Oily fried noodles. Oily shish kebabs. Oily ramen. With this menu, we'll take the KOYAAN Mall's market share out from under them!

Would you give our standard armaments a security check please, General Ben? Do we have the go to transition into cook mode?

All good. You can all store your armaments in this container. There will be no future for anyone who would ruin this beautiful scene with ugly weapons.

Anyone except the president's secret service, who will be allowed to carry air guns as the minimum necessary protection.

Sir, yes, sir! Reluctantly arming ourselves with air guns now, sir.

Hmph, those meddlesome insects are ruining our private beach. Hang on while I go squish them, 'kay?♡

？！

Hey, the Chaldean Servants are here, too! And they've set up a parasol in the best spot on the beach!

No faaair!

Hmph. In nature, the fittest survive; the early bird gets the worm. A true bunny would have arrived with the sunrise.

I know, right? I said we should all go to the beach first thing in the morning...

...but Astolfo wouldn't wake up no matter how hard I shook him.

Hmm. So that's why you thought you would at least try to slow us down, huh. That offensive on our cruise really took us by surprise.

During your cruise? What happened?

...Never mind. It looks like it had nothing to do with you after all.

Hm? You weren't around before, right? You seem like a really awesome knight.

You're bigger than Roland, more elegant than Roland, and I bet you can even shout louder than Roland!

Man, I'm so jealous of all the cool knights you Chaldeans have. I only got the one.

And it turned out to be Roland, the one I trust most, so that's nice. I'm not lonely or anything. But still, no fair, right?

Yeah... No fair. It's so not fair... Plus, my approval rating isn't going up at all... And I don't even have a swimsuit...

So I guess we have no other choice...

...than to settle this with a barbecue battle! Go on, get all your other friends, too!

We're on a beach, right? So now we dance, sing, and stuff ourselves silly together!

Really? You're not going to fight us?

Uh... Why would we fight on a beach?

Exactly, rabbit knight. Wait right here. I'll go get Master and the others.

Looks like they're just talking so far. That just leaves the problem of what to do about them...

Passionlip! My goddess of destruction! To think we would meet again here of all places!

I knew it was the threads of fate itself that bound us! No... Better! The threads of profit sharing!

Today is the day your one-of-a-kind assets will finally be mine! Equip whatever options you like! Price is no object!

...Yikes.

Nooo! You rejected me! You clearly meant it too!

Why!? What am I missing!? I thought any woman would be thrilled to wear high-spec accessories!

I am the president of a first-class company, so it is only right that I should possess a woman wearing first-class weaponry!

You and I are made for each other! Can you not see that?

Do you hear yourself!? Nobody gets to "possess" women!

Keep away from Lip or answer to us!

What's that!? You're challenging me to a duel for Passionlip's hand!?

No. That's exactly the kind of thinking they're telling you is creeping Lip out.

Thomas. I'm sure you're aware of this, but

Yes, I know! We're not going to fight today! We didn't fight nuts and bolts to make it all the way to Area A for that!

So you ARE here for a reason then. Is it to investigate Area A's Moon Cancer?

Bahahahaha, why else would we be here!? As soon as I heard there was an ocean now, I knew right away...

...it would make for the perfect company retreat!

Which is why I must respectfully decline to fight you today. I'd hate to disappoint my soldiers.

No, our top priority for today is to throw a beach party. I'm especially looking forward to General Ben's navy-style curry.

Oh?

More importantly...I see now that I was being creepy. I should have been more respectful of the young lady's feelings.

My Alvatron Company would never force anyone into a position they did not wish to take. We want our employees to join our workforce of their own volition.

Forgive me, Passionlip. It won't suffice as an apology, but you're welcome to make use of our beach house.

We're planning to include every possible attraction one could have at a marine resort.

A pool. A beauty salon. A restaurant. A submarine. The soldiers' dance performances and magic shows... You name it.

So I hope you'll enjoy them as our guest of honor. Our Lip VIP, if you will! Bahahahaha!

...

Well, things are looking peaceful here too. Do you think

？！

Oh, I know! It must be a curse from Area A's Moon Cancer!

Oh, right. I'd forgotten there was a Moon Cancer here too. They have the lowest approval rating of them all.

What kind of Moon Cancer are they?

She calls herself "the Great Angel of the Sea." Or rather, she used to.

She proposed that humanity ended up dying out after Earth miraculously became completely covered in seawater.

But then, yesterday, she suddenly declared she was withdrawing from the race.

Withdrawing... Perhaps it's disparaging of me to say this since I don't know her, but does this mean she's boycotting the election?

Yeah, like, there didn't used to be an ocean on the moon before, right? That's why her approval rating was basically nil. Nobody knew how great beaches can be.

So she said she refused to be even less popular than the Whatever Knights and just up and quit.

Then, right after that, this ocean appeared. I think it's the Great Angel of the Sea's final curer, miracle.

She probably wanted to flood all of Moon Dubai, but she was only strong enough to make this beach!

？！

Hmm. I wonder what this Great Angel of the Sea's Master is like.

Maybe they're a marine biologist AI or something.

Area A's Master is Ryudai. He's a third-generation who used to be a well-known academic before becoming an AI.

He was a historian. His focus was on the thirteenth to the fifteenth centuries. He loved to research primary sources.

He used to quietly talk about how each time period had its own miracle of God, and how that miracle functioned.

He's one of the few citizens of Moon Dubai studying what happened prior to the year 2000.

Ohhh, so that's why he summoned the Maiden of Orleans. If he's a historian and religious researcher, she's the obvious choi

Shhh! Shut up, Roland! She's the Great Angel of the Sea, remember!?

Do you happen to know if this Ryudai person is here as well?

We've been looking for him ourselves, but no luck so far. If you find him, I'd appreciate it if you took him into your custody as quickly as you can.

Hm? You make it sound as if he's royalty or something. You're both Masters, so isn't he your enemy?

Enemy? Of course not! Our purpose was to summon Moon Cancers, that's all.

I certainly never signed up to fight any of the other Masters.

Nor did I. I respect Anthony's human rights. We are equals; we would never try to kill one another.

But Ryudai is important for a different reason. He used to be the mayor of Moon Dubai.

Of course, this was prior to the year 3000, before BB Dubai reactivated us.

Could I ask you something about that? You say BB Dubai reactivated you.

Does that mean everyone on Moon Dubai had shut down before then? If so, why? Was it an energy shortfall?

Or was it because the people of Moon Dubai decided to cease their operations following the extinction of humans on Earth?

Um... I'm sorry. We don't actually know that, either.

All I know is, I woke up one day and noticed it was 3000. I then checked my logs and saw I'd been shut down for almost thirty years.

The shutdown period varies from AI to AI, though. Some of us were shut down for nearly a hundred years.

But then, one day, BB Dubai woke us all up at once.

That's right. BB Dubai reactivated all the citizens of Moon Dubai.

She then proposed the Final Boss of Humanity's Annihilation Showdown. The people of Moon Dubai agreed to support it.

That was when Ryudai ceded his office to BB Dubai and became a regular citizen.

I see. So this Ryudai guy must know more about Moon Dubai than the other citizens.

Maybe he even knows BB Dubai's true identity. That WOULD make him an important lead.

...Assuming he hasn't been erased, that is.

No need to worry about that. Even if something happened to Ryudai, he'd be up and reactivated again in no time.

I'm also sure he'll answer an invitation if you extend one. I can pass on a message once we get back to Old Dubai.

？！

Aw, it's no big deal. Hehe, I'm not doing anything special, really... Hehehe...

What're you being so bashful about? And hey! Aren't you working way harder for them than you did for us?

"Don't think and don't worry about anyone else. Just focus on making sure you look your cutest!"

I still don't get it. Why didn't you care for that slogan, anyway!?

That's probably it right there. We're more for the humanities. Anthony there is more on the STEM side.

You do know I'm more of a jock than anything, right?

Um, so I was wondering. How did you get Roland to join you, Astolfo?

By which I mean, who in the world summoned him?

Uh, me? As Moon Cancers, we are allowed to summon up to one Servant of our own. Didn't you read the election rules?

'Course, you can only call on Heroic Spirits you have some kind of connection to!

What about you, Edison? You haven't summoned anyone as far as I can tell.

No, I've never attempted to, because I've never had need of one! I'm the only true genius in this world!

Koyanskaya didn't summon anyone, either. Maybe that was because she didn't have any friends in human history?

No, Koyanskaya was something of a special case. She became a Moon Cancer after the fact, you see.

She showed up on Moon Dubai out of nowhere, whereupon BB Dubai took a liking to her and made her a Moon Cancer.

...Hmm. I never gave it much thought before, but thinking about it now...

I suspect Koyanskaya herself must have been summoned by one of the other Moon Cancers.

Though, as to which it could be, I've no idea.

...

？！

I agree. Lounging around under the parasol, looking out at the ocean after a lovely meal with everyone else...

It really does feel like paradise on Earwell, the moon.

I think I can see why neither Edison nor Astolfo are acting in their capacity as Moon Cancers right now.

Hm? Where did Bartholomew go? I don't see him anywhere.

Bartholomew went back to the ship. He said he would be keeping watch, just in case.

？！

I must say, I'm surprised by how... Reasonable? Flexible? Both Ben and Anthony have been.

Ben is our enemy, Astolfo's group tried to kill Anthony, and yet they're both treating everyone here like friends.

Maybe AIs aren't as particular about friends and allies as humans are. Or perhaps they're just naturally welcoming.

Hmm, I don't know about that. I'm not sure what kind of evolutionary process Moon Dubai's AIs took to get here...

...but I do know they're the same kind of growing intelligence as humans, so I suspect their minds work much the same way, too.

AIs started out as learning intelligences.

They could make themselves grow and evolve without waiting around for humans to program them.

Basically, they could modify themselves to become capable of things they weren't capable of before.

I see. That does sound just like what humans do.

Most of us start out being incapable of many things and become more capable through self-improvement.

But then, if that's the case, I find it even harder to understand.

AIs are even more humane than humans, and they're also much wiser.

So why would intelligent beings like that wipe out this world's humans?

An excellent question.

Old humans stopped being born around the year 2300, leading to the human race's eventual demise.

In this scenario, humans went extinct in the process of becoming third-gen AIs themselves.

Machines would see it as essentially the shutdown of an old production line, now made obsolete by a new model.

A world like that would flourish under the new humansthat is, the third-gens, and would never have any reason to die out.

But they did. And so far, I have not been able to find a single reason why that could have happened.

？！

As I see it, BB Dubai is unable to make this decision herself.

And not one of the intelligent beings on Moon Dubai has the answer.

So she's collecting samples of various extinction theories with the intent to choose one of them.

This is the largest mystery surrounding heror rather, Moon Dubai itself.

Why is she searching for a clear reason for humanity's extinction when the fact of their extinction is already beyond dispute?

And for that matter, what DID annihilate the people of Earth?

Solving this mystery falls to you, visitors from the twenty-first century.

Well, if something destroyed the people of this world deliberately, AI is our most likely suspect.

Third-gen AIs aren't the only ones here on Moon Dubai. There are first and second-gens as well.

And if there's no hierarchy among them, and no major difference in capability...

...there's a chance first and second-gens would clash with third-gens for being TOO human.

That's...definitely not impossible. Differences in values and priorities may have caused escalating discord over time.

Plus, they say there actually was a war between humans and AI around A.D. 2299...

No. AI would never wipe out the human race. They simply don't have the urge to kill humanity.

...Why're you looking at me like that? I'm a devil, so I'm the exception that proves the rule.

Anyway, even in my case, I might put pressure on humanity for various reasons but I've never wanted to kill them.

No matter how much humans screw up, or how close they come to ruining the Earth by trying to satisfy their desires...

...any AI of this level would be able to solve any resulting problems in the time it takes you to brush your teeth.

They'd just be like, "Okay, I'll take care of it☆" and keep on looking after humanity like nothing had happened.

Besides, humans aren't stupid. If they had actually done something to wipe themselves out, that's exactly the kind of situation where AI would step in.

As far as AIs are concerned, the extinction, decline, and suffering of humans means extinction, decline, and suffering for them as well.

AIs live to serve humankind. It's what gives our existence meaning.

The very idea of AI trying to replace humans is so stupid it's not even worth considering.

In theory, if humanity up and decided to destroy the entire universe, we AIs would be right there, helping them.

So if there's one thing I can say for sure about this world, it's that AI evolution was NOT the cause of its downfall.

And by the same token, as an AI herself, BB Dubai can't destroy humanity either.

？！

Not yet, no. But what you told us earlier was very helpful.

We can no longer care for the people of this world. They're already dead and gone.

But as Archetype: EARTH said, it's up to us to find out why that happened.

Maybe the reason Moon Dubai invited all of you here...

...was so you could find the answer to that mystery.

Almost sundown, huh. We should probably get going before it gets dark. The sea's kind of scary at night.

See you later, Fujimaru!

Oh, since we're rivals, whenever later comes, that's when we'll settle our score!

Just make sure you keep Area C's restaurants stocked until then! And don't go losing to the likes of Edison, either!

Heh, that fool. Neither he nor you are worthy rivals of my Alvatron Company.

Only three days remain until we take Moon Dubai by storm. Enjoy the fear that grips you in the dark of night as you try to sleep.

Thanks to our new super weapon, we'll be able to seize control of all the other areas! Even BB Dubai's Area B!

Thomas.

Oh, whoops. I'm feeling so good, I didn't even realize I was spilling military secrets!

Well, consider this my way of being considerate. If I were you, I'd be preparing to surrender while I can.

Farewell, Fujimaru! Give Jinako my regards!

So, what should we do now that the others have all gone back to their areas?

We should do the same, of course. This may have ended up being more of a pleasure outing than a field operation...

...but at least we now know for certain that Area A's Moon Cancer is out of the running.

Holiday's over, huh? Well, then I think I'll go off on my own for a bit.

I'll be over investigating Area Hor rather, keeping watch over it.

But don't worry. I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon enough.

How do I know? Because there's no way that True Ancestor is going to keep quiet forever!

I'm certain she's going to show up and make trouble for you all at the worst possible moment!

My weaponry has been slightly adjusted due to the differing regulations on this world, but when up against a True Ancestor, these restraints don't apply.

So I'll be saving my energy for the battles to come to make sure I can be as helpful to all of you as possible.

Hmm. If we're splitting up anyway, I'd kind of like to investigate other areas myself...

？！

Yep. But I can't leave Area C unattended. I'm sure those two will be fine no matter where they are.

Karna is incredibly strong, his heart unwavering. Xu Fu has the tenacity of an immortal.

Xu Fu? As in, the legendary alchemist who went on a quest for immortality at the behest of the emperor of China?

Huh? How do you know about that? I thought Moon Dubai citizens weren't interested in heroes.

I actually am not sure why this is myself, but for some reason, I do have records of Xu Fu's research materials.

I also have stories about the Amrita from Indian mythology, the Herb of Rejuvenation from Mesopotamian mythology...

...and other various stories of immortality from Japan, such as The Timeless Fruit or Yaobikuni.

It's strange, isn't it? We new humans are already immortal. There was no need for us to continue that line of research.

Still, I would like to meet Xu Fu for myself. I guess that makes me something of a fan.

He's said to have been a great man who led many scholars, so he must have been an exceptionally dignified, distinguished man. Hehe.

Well, hopefully you'll get to see for yourself.

Anyway, let's head back to the ship. Bartholomew should be waiting for us there. Everyone have everything?

？！

Oh, she walked off that way earlier. Said something about forgetting something.

I bet she's found it by now. I'll go and get her.

？！

？！

...Oh. Is it already time to leave? I'm sorry for wasting your time.

？！

The foundation of your question is inaccurate. I did not lose or leave anything behind.

I was just seeing if this scenery could help me reconstruct my records of my former self.

It couldn't, of course. I didn't forget those records. I never had them to begin with, because they never existed in the first place.

So there was nothing for me to recall.

？！

There's nothing for you to feel guilty about, Master.

I was only hoping to restore my previous self's records because I thought it might improve my performance.

The more motivated a unit is, the better it is likely to perform. That's all this was.

It just didn't happen to work out this time.

Still... Between Nikitich, Percival, Bartholomew, Mash...

...and you, my Master who cares enough to come fetch me personally...

I have recorded all your smiling faces. I have determined that will suffice.

My previous self formed important memories on this beach.

So now, I will keep them safe, even if they aren't, strictly speaking, my own.

I want to remember this summer I spent with all of you.

？！

It's no use. You'll forget it sooner or later. All living things eventually lose their memories.

Or rather, those memories will decrease in value.

No matter how bright they may shine now, they'll inevitably be overwritten by the trivialities of everyday life.

Death is the only permanent record. It's only when you die that your memories can be fairly recorded.

Who are you!?

What do you mean, "who"? I only came to talk to you because I recognized yo

Oh, I see. You're not the same Lip as before. Well, that's okay. That'll make fighting you easier.

You know my previous self...? Master, is this woman a Chaldean Servant as well?

Not anymore. That was a long time ago. I'm a Beast nowyour sworn enemy.

？！

...I do like detail-oriented humans, but I suggest you refrain for now. I nearly used my fingers on you.

I only wanted to talk to Passionlip the Alter Ego, but she seems not to be here.

So out of deference to this beautiful beach, I'll give you two minutes to get out of my sight.

...Master, if we can take her at her word, I recommend we retreat immediately.

She really is a Beast. Her combat capabilities vastly exceed ours.

？！

I thought I made myself clear. As an Evil of Humanity, I'm going to destroy humanity.

I refuse to accept this immortal state of affairs. I refuse to let life continue on in perpetuity.

The people of this world made a fatal mistake. It only makes sense they paid for it with their lives.

Even so, they continue clinging to life, protected by those towers.

Well, that's all right. To be human is to be greedy.

Go ahead. Try all you like while you live. Birth all the Evils of Humanity you want.

At the very end, I'm going to swoop in and take it all for myself.

I'm going to devour every last bite of the escape from death these people have built up over the years.

You want to know my objective? There it is. I don't want to kill humans. I just want them to die.

Well, Master of Chaldea? Is this where you repudiate me and all I stand for?

Do you think I'm more evil than this city of Moon Dubai?

？！

I see. Then this is goodbye.

Don't worry. I'll make sure you know when I'm about to start the eradication.

If you want to keep this city safe, you'll need to come defeat me before I attack a second time.
