When you finish loading your supplies, get in your boats and go on standby!
I'm coming too!
Nibi, you weren't chosen.
Stay here and protect the others.
No way. I've had enough of being left behind!
Nibi, while I appreciate your enthusiasm—
Shut up! This has nothing to do with the damn SDF!
Calm down!
Hey, don't you hear something?
There's something besides the sandstorm.
What?
They're here.
The enemy is right in front of us!

It's Skylos!
We are approaching Falaina's course on schedule.
Will this disturbance eventually quiet down?
Unknown. It appears to be a meteorological phenomenon unique to these sands.
The cause is reportedly prehistoric remains near the ocean floor.
Shall we send a messenger to Commander Orka of the Carcharias, Commander Araphne?
No.
There's no need to inform him of such a trivial obstacle.
Full speed ahead. Lay alongside Falaina.
Roger. Skylos, full speed.
Full speed.
God in heaven, I thank you for blessing me with this abundance of wonderful friends.
My friends... laugh and cry to your hearts' content!
Be filled with fear and anger!
And then show me the best dying faces you can!
Everyone, set sail!
Get on board, Nibi.
Friend upon these sands
My beloved friend
Look at the sand sitting in your palm
The countless myriad grains
So full of light
You will dry up
Fasten your body tightly in the coffin
Down beneath the sands in ancient depths
In the ruined forbidden garden
Live nobly
Friend upon these sands
My beloved friend
Friend upon these sands
My beloved friend
Begin the counterattack!
Fire!
Got him!
Wow, that was so cool!
You got it!
Awesome!
Take their weapons!
Back inside, hurry!
Hurry! As fast as you can!
Found you!
Come on out! I wanna play with you!
Master Suou!
What is that?
We picked it up.
This is...
Please use it to defend yourself.
Let's go get more!
Sure!
Wait!
Master Suou!
What's wrong?
Are you okay, Master Suou?
Good girl. That was some nice climbing.
This is the entrance.
So this is Skylos.
It's made from mud.
Both Skylos and Lykos's ship have the same smell as the Mud Whale.
That's right. The hearts of the Empire's citizens I saw on Lykos's ship, and the world Neri showed me,
all filled me with this same nostalgia.
So why is it that we must do this?
Chakuro!
Chakuro, get down!
Let's do this!
Yeah!
Reporting in.
The guards have encountered intruders in the underground passage.
They are believed to be from Falaina.
They came just as we expected. Their goal is likely...
Our nous, I would presume.
Yes. What of Commander-in-Chief Orka's sister?
We have confirmed that she is accompanying the enemy forces.
She appears to be leading them to the nous.
Let's capture her.
That would be in accordance with Commander Orka's orders.
We should be able to swiftly annihilate them.
Kill Orka's sister as well.
S-Sir...
Don't get distracted.
This isn't the Mud Whale.
Intruders, answer our questions.
What is your identity?
Answer. Are you the daimons of Falaina—
Damn, son!
But go too wild and you'll run out of steam, pony-boy!
Self-Defense Force, move out!
Let's keep moving.
"One cannot live without harming others."
If that's the truth of our world...
it's far too painful.
Even so, I didn't want to lose any more friends from the Mud Whale.
Never again.
Chakki!
Great block!
Looks like we can't call you destroyer anymore.
Hurry, before they send reinforcements.
Yeah!
My intuition wasn't wrong.
The people of the Mud Whale all have stronger thymia than the imperial soldiers.
What happened?
Master Suou, it's the Central Tower!
The enemy blew open a hole and started coming in!
I will go.
What are you saying?
But—
The Chieftain must stay in the safest location!
You are everyone's emotional support.
If I am to be that support, then now of all times must I go!
Wait!
Geez, you dummy!
Run, children! Backup will be up here soon.
Elder Hakuji...
Go! Quickly!
I won't allow you to harm the children!
Begone, you devils!
Elder Hakuji!
Suou...
Don't speak! I'll get a medic right away!
It was... a mistake... to try to sink... the island...
I want... to see... your future...
Even if... th-the world... despises you...
I truly... cherish... the Mud Whale... and everyone on...
My bad!
Were you still talking?
Though either way, that geezer was about to croak anyway.
Be silent!
You're acting pretty pompous.
You mad?
Gonna take revenge for him?
Draw it already!
Go on!
I will not allow you to insult Elder Hakuji!
That's good.
I just love those eyes!
Hey! What's wrong?!
Go on and start being all pompous again!
Come on... what's with those marionette eyes?
I'm fed up with puppets, you know.
Scream and cry some more, would you?
I'm sick and tired of everyone acting like zombies!
I'm not crazy! It's the world that's crazy!
That's right, the world is crazy.
But that guy happens to be my boss.
Mind letting him alone?
Oh, and by the way... you're more annoying than a mosquito.
This is it. Beyond this door is the nous Skylos.
But just like with Falaina, you can't use thymia down here.
Nobody's come after us this whole way.
You're all great!
We'll be able to pull this off exactly as we planned.
Ouni's group will stay and use their thymia to guard the entrance.
We'll follow Lykos and destroy the nous.
Got it?
Roger wilco!
Lykos, be careful.
Okay, let's go!
It's stained glass art.
It's pretty.
Yeah...
Nope! If you ask me, I think these are way more beautiful.
Lead the way, hero!
Ow!
All right, follow me.
Something's off.
We shouldn't be able to get this close to the nous unhindered.
I don't sense anyone pursuing us either.
Why?
Wait!
Tokusa! Everyone!
Wait, Urumi!
Nibi, were you injured?
Why didn't you say anything?
Like I could admit I was the only one who screwed up.
It'd be way too lame to force my way here only to hold you back.
Don't be—
It came from down the hall!
Ouni!
You're hurt, so stay here.
Chakki!
Will you be okay, Ginshu?
That's Big Sis!
We can't just leave the door wide open.
I won't let a single person by!
I can only leave behind records of a fraction of what happened.
The world that people saw last...
The world reflected in their eyes...
Just how...
am I supposed to convey it?
