Ah! Oh no...

Isabella

Everybody, come this way.

Verna

What just happened?

Isabella

The security system came back online.

Verna

Does that mean we're stuck here?

Isabella

No. We have the card Bianca gave us, so we won't have any issues.

However, our enemies will start getting ready, too.

...So much for quietly installing the Return Box. What do we do now...? *Sigh...*

N4

.. / -.-. .- -. / -.. --- / .. -

Chloe

What is it? What's wrong, N4? The vents? What about the vents?

Verna

I think N4's suggesting going through the vents like $CAT_NAME$ did.

Cloud

What the...? Verna, can you...?

Verna

I...I didn't actually understand anything, alright?

N4

- .... .- - .----. ... / .-. .. --. .... - / - .... .- - .----. ... / .-. .. --. .... -

Isabella

...That's not a bad plan. And it'll keep you out of harm's way, too, N4.

You can get to the Hyper Portal through the vents, right?

We can fight the enemy head on... and draw them off your trail.

Chloe

Sounds great to me.

Isabella

While we hold the enemy's attention, N4 will install the Return Box.

N4, even if you get there before us, you need to stay hidden until we catch up.

If you get caught, it's over.

N4

.. / -.-. .- -. / -.. --- / .. - / .-- . .-..

Isabella

N4, I'll key in the path through the vents to the Hyper Portal.

And... the location of the terminal you can use to access the portal.

Once you're connected, the Return Box package in your memory will automatically install itself on the Hyper Portal.

N4

--- -.- .- -.--

Verna

Alright, there's no reason for us to sneak around now, right?

Isabella

There'll be a lot of enemies blocking our path, though. Brace yourselves.

Chloe

Ha! I think they should brace themselves.

Security lasers? Seriously, you've got to be kidding me...

Isabella

It probably means that they're desperate.

Verna

Can we... get past this...?

Isabella

We should be able to clear the path if we hack that. I'll handle it.

Chloe

Yeah, don't be scared! You won't die from a little graze! ...Probably.

Isabella

I'll clear the way when it's blocked, so proceed with caution.

Cloud

Oh! We should be able to keep moving forward now.

Isabella

Let's hurry. We don't have a lot of time.

Cloud

Isn't everything going according to plan?!

Isabella

Imagining disaster invites disaster, but...

Right now, my head is filled with backup plans in case N4 doesn't make it.

Verna

Uh... These suddenly seem a lot harder to dodge.

Isabella

We simply need to do it like we did before. Just keep a cool head.

Cloud

One step at a time... Careful...

Verna

I think I'm getting the hang of this...

Isabella

Alright, just keep doing what you've been doing.

Great, we're almost there.

Just a little further...

Chloe

Ada!

Ada

Will the interruptions never cease?!

The Hyper Portal has already been activated. Nobody can stop it now.

Chloe

How many times do I have to remind you?

Nothing's over, until it's over!

N4

-. --- .-- ..--..

Ada

It's not over?

Nirvan is already over.

This is how it will be reborn.

Chloe

Nineteen games!

Eighteen losses!

And just a single win!

You beat me over and over again.

I only won once... our final fight.

But it was you who ran away.

Ada

...And what about that?

Chloe

Nirvan is over? That's why... you need to start a war?!

Why are you running again?!

There has to be another away!

Ada

Such foolish words... They're not worth listening to.

What in the...?!

What have you done to the portal?!

Isabella

It'll take some time to reboot. Nothing permanent.

Ada

How dare you sabotage me?!

Isabella

After you stole my blueprints? Well, that's rich.

Ada

If you insist on getting in my way, I'll kill you all!

You said I ran away, right? But I didn't run.

I hated you... so much that I wanted to kill you...!

Chloe

Right. Silly me for thinking we were friends.

You can say all of that, but you can't change my feelings.

I knew from the moment I first saw you that you were as twisted as could be.

Ada

How are you still talking?!

Let's see how you feel when you're a brain in a vat!

Kgh...! This... can't be...

Chloe

You have to stop this... Ada.

Ada

Stop this...? Too late.

Do you really think stopping is even an option anymore?!

I will sacrifice my body... If it means I reach that world beyond.

Aaaaaugh!

Isabella

Ada, stop it!

If you do that, you're going to shred the dimensional barrier!

If that happens, the Void will consume this world...!

Ada

Whatever. I don't care what happens.

The plan to restore Nirvan was impossible to begin with. We're never going home.

I'm so tired. I don't want to be in pain any longer.

Verna

Has she... Has she been corrupted?

Isabella

No, that's a pure being of the Void.

Chloe

Ada...! What happened to Ada?

Isabella

...Give up on Ada.

Right now, we need to reactivate the Hyper Portal and send that thing back to the Void.

Chloe

Ahhhhh! Ada!

Snap out of it!

Isabella

Get back, Chloe! The portal is powering up!

Ada

Chloe...

Chloe

Ada!

Isabella

Wait, no!

Chloe

Ada!

Are you in there?

Ada

Chloe...

Chloe

Why.. are you always...

It's okay. It's over now, Ada.

Cloud

Chloe! Are you okay?

Chloe

...Yeah.

Isabella

You... *sigh...* You're in big trouble later.

Cloud

Wh-what's that?!

Isabella

Looks like we got your attention...

Code!

Watch out!

Verna

Hey, wait... I thought you said that Ada was Code's younger sister?!

Chloe

That's it, we're all gonna die here!

Isabella

No, not on my watch...!

M.A.D.

*Yawn...* What's all this, now?

This looks like a job for my creations, doesn't it?

Ahh...

Finally, I get to let loose! It's been ages!

Isabella

Now is not the time!

Snap out of it and run!

Code

Hello, Isabella.

Bye.
