I can still fight...
I can take this...
kawaridashita negai no kakera
The shards of wishes begin to change
kaze ni sakebi tatakau kagayaki wa koko ni aru
The light that howls against the wind is right here
wasureteita atatakasa ni narenai egao wa
You smile, still not used to the kindness you once forgot
kasukana mirai wo nozomu kibou terashite
Still it lights hope for the far-off future like a beacon
mezameru kanjou imi wo shireba itami ga afureru
When you understand the feelings awakening in you, the pain will burst forth
kizuita itoshisa nakusu kowasa daita
And you hold onto the fear of losing those things precious to you
karamitsuku tomadoi wa kimi no omoi ni tokareteyuku
But those feelings will unchain you from the confusion that binds you
kawaridashita toki no kakera
The shards of time begin to change
kimi ga kureta kagirinai tsuyosa wo kanjite
I feel the boundless energy you give me
mune no kizuna nagareru ishi to
Our wills flow between our hearts
kaze ni sakebi tatakau kagayaki wa koko ni aru
and the light that howls against the wind is right here
A Will Like a Rolling Stone
Goddammit.
Kagami's going to kill me at this rate...
You're too sloppy!
Use your opponent's strength against him!
Please be safe!
Master Ramza.
I could never eat enough to keep up with that.
I should have just gotten a regular job.
Hey, morning!
Why do you still look so tired?
Do I?
Yeah.
Busy schedule?
Kinda...
I don't see you by the river anymore.
We've had all that rain, lately. Maybe it's washed some new rocks down.
So, I think we should go rock-hunting again.
Chief?
What is it?
I know it's kind of late...
but why did you let a guy like me into the Rock Club?
"Let a guy like me?" What kind of talk is that?
But I...
You've been great!
We've gotten more people since you joined,
and we've found some cute ones for the collection, too!
You should be proud of yourself!
What are you talking about?
I guess... I thought you were alike.
Back when I watched you pick up rocks by the river,
I thought you were kind of like a rock yourself.
"Like a rock"?
Like the kind of rock I wanted in my collection.
I'll be collecting your math homework now.
Please gather them starting from the back.
Oh, crap! I totally forgot!
It's all his fault!
Ramza?
I know you didn't have time to do your math because of your training,
so here.
I know it's not much, but since you're fighting to protect us,
at least let me do this for you.
Really?
Well...
Hey, what are you doing back there!
Well, what do we have here?
You did Tandoji's math homework for him, Aiba?
This isn't what it looks like!
Now we can't have cheating around here.
Not that your love isn't a beautiful thing, but...
Hey, it's not like that!
Right, right.
Ms. Aiba and I aren't...
But this is still unacceptable.
You have it all wrong!
Will you listen to me?
Things sure have changed around here.
A little while ago, all the rumors would have been like,
"Tandoji must have bullied her into doing it for him!"
Now you don't hear anything like that.
Opening up has really made him a better person!
I think he was just nervous because he's freakishly huge.
Maybe!
It could be that Wakana scouted him and he joined the Rock Club!
What's going on?
We're just talking about how Tandoji's changed.
He has?
X squared over y equals three x z...
You have a makeup test, don't you?
There's your study guide.
It's written in such a way that even you can understand it.
Hammer it into your skull as soon as possible.
Thanks.
We need your help to wipe out the Darkstones.
Do your absolute best on this. Consider it for the lady.
And if you don't understand that packet, you might as well repeat middle school.
Shut up already!
Douchebag.
We've located a Darkstone at Jogashima on the Miura Peninsula!
Inform Mr. Kagami at once!
I'm zooming in the image.
Do we have the Darkstone?
Yes.
We're beginning analysis on the Darkstone's combat capabilities.
We've located another Darkstone!
1500 meters due west of Jogashima,
and heading for Yokosuka at 50 kph!
Two Darkstones at the same time?
Congratulations. You passed.
Thank you!
You've improved so quickly...
I'm not cheating!
I wasn't doubting you.
I just didn't think you had friends you could study with.
Later.
Chief?
Hey, Tandoji, you passed math, right?
If you fail, you'll disappoint Ruri!
Yo, Tandoji, need tickets for the game next month?
If you want, you could always just join our club.
What the hell's going on?
I think everyone met the real Tandoji.
The real me?
Trust me, you'll be fine.
I wish I could turn into a rock.
So what changed?
Them...
or me?
When did that happen? When did it start?
That day...
I...
I stopped being a rock and moved.
Ramza!
It's an emergency!
Sorry, Chief.
I'm taking tonight off.
There are two Darkstones this time.
One is staying still in Jogashima,
and the other is currently moving towards Yokosuka.
Got it.
How is it over there?
We'll be all right.
We shall protect the town and the school.
Everyone living in the area has been evacuated.
Just concentrate on fighting.
I know.
Now of all times, and two of them to boot...
No way in hell that happened all by itself.
Ramza, be careful.
I can't be by your side, but my power will be with you.
You too. Don't do anything stupid.
We will be touching down in Jogashima shortly.
If you're not going to move, I'll go first!
All units in combat.
Darkstone B will reach the engagement zone shortly.
The Engagement Suit and the maid sniper team will attack simultaneously
to keep the Darkstone in the railgun's firing line.
Operation will begin in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1...
Hell yeah, let's go!
The Engagement Suit's left arm is gone! Fall back!
The energy levels within Darkstone B are increasing!
Advance to phase 2. Maid team, open fire!
Roger!
Maid sniper team has taken heavy damage.
We can't hold the first line of defense anymore.
Abandon it. Advance to phase 3.
Roger.
Just die!
My lady, loading is 87% complete.
Understood.
Just hold it for a little longer, Kagami...
Ramza!
Oh crap!
Ramza!
Mr. Kagami, we've set up the corundum laser cannon
rapid delivery system at point delta.
Roger!
System go!
What?
Kagami! Wake up!
98%.
99%.
Kagami!
100%.
Loading complete.
Fire!
I missed the core!
My lady, quickly! Get on!
Hold it right there!
I can still fight...
I can take this...
Am I too weak?
Too weak to defend them?
I can't give up!
This is the only thing I can do!
Beat Darkstones and defend my friends!
I'm the one with this power! I can't give up!
I will not lose!
Break!
I have to get there fast!
Faster!
Even faster!
Something that will carry me like a speeding bullet!
Kagami!
Ramza!
Break into little pieces!
Looks like I got here in time.
Thank you...
Thank goodness the lady is safe...
No way...
Those two were a decoy meant to wear us out!
And that one's heading for the town!
No...
Damn it...
I gotta get there...
Ramza!
I'll be fine.
This power you gave me is still here with me!
I'm going after it.
Ramza...
My body is almost at its limit.
But my heart's roaring at me to keep up the fight!
Something that will shoot me through the sky!
Tandoji?
Chief.
What's going on?
You're not usually here this early.
Hey, you brought this rock.
Have you always had it?
Yeah.
Honestly, having this one on me has saved me a lot of times.
I seriously owe it.
I don't think you need to thank him just for being with you.
Besides, I'm sure he's really happy to have helped you out.
And now he's with all his friends, so he won't be sad anymore.
Right?
Yeah.
So we've gotta find more rocks and turn up the party!
I'll see you by the river after school, right?
What?
Club leader's orders!
Don't be late or you're treating everyone to juice. Got it?
But seriously, don't be late.
Yeah, yeah.
It'll be fun!

Stone cold
