SSA:Wait for audio trigger
So he's still alive...
He's at work
Who cares about that guy.
But, I feel uneasy about this.
Like something terrible is going to happen.
D-Dont!
That's a Lambda driver.
Come get me.
Kashim.
Can you use it?
I'm going to.
Kashim!
Gauln!
The Rising Wind in the Homeland - Middle Story
They're firing at us pretty intensely.
It's because more firepower than can be stored is gathered here.
That sure could be of use to Mythril.
Something's coming.
What's happening?
Isn't that this country's military?
The terrorists were probably selling their merchandise to the people of this country.
Shit.
If we get caught in a sand storm, we can't use our ECS.
I don't have time for scum like you guys.
There's no way we can outrun them carrying this around.
I've had enough. Let's dump this thing over the cliff.
Let's go down this cliff.
What?
The land down there is hilly, Once we get down, we should be able to conceal ourselves.
How would you know that?
I've fought before on this ground a long time ago.
They're here.
Be prepared to fight.
Gotcha.
I guess the fell over with the goods.
Falling from this height, even the latest of prototype AS...
So it's Kashim.
This is the last painkiller.
We need to hurry and perform surgery to get the bullet out.
Don't we have a surgery kit?
Bill had it...
Majest!
Don't die yet Majest, I still owe you 300 dollars.
We put on excess baggage.
Baggage?
What do you mean by baggage?
Are you telling us to leave Majest behind?
No I was talking about this nuclear warhead.
Jackson!
If there was a misunderstanding then I apologize.
If you have time to argue amongst yourselves, why don't you go check over the M9?
Have you gotten ahold of headquarters?
I can't get enough signal to use the radio.
Let's hide the trailer around here amongst the boulders and go to the nearest town.
If we search, I'm sure they have at least a telephone.
I'm against that.
You again...
It'll take like three days to get to the nearest village.
During that time, it's likely that we'll be spotted by the enemy.
Instead, we should attack.
Attack?
Don't joke around. We only have four AS's on our side.
I'm not going to fight a hopeless battle.
We have a better chance that way than running around.
This is our plan and not yours.
You don't have any right to order us around.
Jackson!
Jackson stop...
Sagara's decision was right.
If we had listened to him, then Bill would still be...
I understand.
I understand so don't speak anymore.
He knows a lot about this land and the target.
We should listen to his opinions.
Majest!
Get a hold of yourself! Majest!
I understand his point, but your idea is unfeasible.
Taking Majest to a doctor is our main priority.
Got it?
I understand.
I don't know where the enemy is waiting in ambush.
We'll be going carefully.
Ok.
Soldier, can I ask you a question?
What is it?
You said you've been involved in guerilla warfare here before right?
Is that true?
Of course.
But is was a long time ago when this place was under civil unrest.
Touyouji may still be young, but you're still a...
I've been fighting as a guerilla since I was eight years old.
Eight years old?
Yeah.
The area around here is like my backyard.
It must be rare to have children as guerillas.
No, there was another guy three years older than me named Zaiidou.
You didn't get picked on?
Our relationship was good.
Although they're probably not alive anymore.
Really...
You still can't catch them?
That warhead was our merchandise.
To say that it was stolen won't even be an excuse.
Don't worry.
Kashim hasn't noticed me yet.
We'll get him soon.
Just because you know each other from before, I hope you aren't letting your emotions control you, Zaiidou.
I've seen many idiots die meaningless deaths for ideals and passions.
I refuse to waste my life like that.
That's a good mind set.
But if you want to join the winning team, I'll have to see your skills.
Captain, I have just returned.
We can't travel a kilometer in an hour.
War is always either cold or hot. If now, we wouldn't know our own locations.
Let's go.
Majest.
Majest! Can you hear me?
Majest!
What is it Gray?
Seems like the painkillers have worn off.
Soldier, how much longer to the city?
It should be around ten hours.
That is if we aren't discovered by the enemy.
Can't we do anything about this? I don't want to lose another member of this team.
We might be able to get our hands on a surgery kit.
Where? Is there a group of houses nearby?
No, it's the camp we used before.
But it'll be our of our way.
Plus it'll increase our chances of being discovered.
They changed their direction?
That's right,
I thought they were going to come through this pass to make a straight line to the city but...
Right now they're heading over here.
They're taking an indirect route.
Are they planning to attack us?
No, most likely Kashim's destination will be...
It's right here.
Soldier, have you found the surgery kit yet?
Not yet.
Geez, this place is really run down.
Was this really the place that you stayed in?
Affirmative.
Fighting in a camp, it's a losing battle.
Affirmative.
Found it.
You did it!
Although ti was kept in a sterile environment, we should still disinfec the tools.
Jackson, shine the light over here.
Andy, you go boil some water.
Ok.
I'll be on the lookout outside.
Did you finish?
Yes, although we can't move him until his fever dies down.
Andy and Jackson are searching for any usefull toold or weapons that we can use.
I don't think it will be bad if we hide here for a while.
No, sooner or later, they will probably discover this place.
Gauln also knows about this place.
He knows?
Last time when this place was attacked, Gauln was among the enemy.
It was just a coincidence that I was away from the camp at that time.
I was lucky.
One mistake, and I probably would have ended up with the same fate as Zaiidou did.
I was born in East Europe.
As you know, that area has been involved in civil war after civil war.
I joined one of the resistance groups and was riding around on an AS.
One time we were surrounded by enemy troops.
Although help was supposed to come, they never came.
Our troops were left to fend for themselves.
It happens often.
After that I just drifted along. Now I'm at Mithril living the life as a soldier on the field.
Andy, Jackson, and Majest probably have similar experiences.
Although they wouldn't tell you themselves.
Hey, why don't you stay and join our group?
If we're going to have someone decisive stay in our group, I'd like it to be someone who can fight.
If it's you, you'll pass.
That is...
You can give me the answer when we get back.
Well, think about tit.
It's an unexpected return to your homeland isn't it soldier.
Return to my homeland?
mm... Your homeland was Japan right?
Homeland...
Do you have someone waiting for you back in Japan?
No, there isn't.
I feel like there is, there isn't...
The time difference with Japan is six hours.
It's already night over there.
Thank you Mao-san.
Do you feel more secure with him guarding you?
It's nto really like that but...
It's' delicious.
When the planning is finished, they'll give us a call and I'll tell you what's happening.
Don't worry, he'll come back fine.
Buy him a present and go pick him up.
Because he'll most likely return tired.
Gauln will most likely do the same thing as before.
Kashim will probably assume that we will attack with the same strategy as before.
If we defend against them directly, we would be at odds.
That's why we'll set up ambushes.
He'll set up ambushes and try to snipe us.
If it's Kashim, I'm sure he'll try to do that.
We'll move to a spot where we can easily shoot but not be easily shot at.
Which would be...
right here.
Are you ready?
Yes.
From here I can snipe away.
Although I probably can't do as well as Kurz
Sagara, I don't like you.
For a kid you have an attitude. You're unlikable, and you're good at fighting.
It's the type I don't like at all.
I see.
When we return to base I'll knock you out.
So don't die 'till then.
Although I can't promise you anything, I'll try.
You're an unlikable kid no matter what.
