*It was over.  Not just for the Shadow Mirrors... but Beowulf too.  And tired as he was, Axel still managed to drag himself and the Soulgain to a cliff ridge in time for the next sunrise.  Lacking anything along the lines of dog tags, he makes due with planting a single stick in the ground at the very edge of the cliff.*

Well, we did it.  The Shadow Mirrors lost the Earth Cradle, and in the process are that much closer to defeat.  Arado, Seolla... I'm sorry we weren't able to save that machine's pilot.  She was obviously someone close to you and Lat, and I can't imagine how hard it's going to be to break the truth to her.  It's no consolation, I know, but at the ( Read more... )

Alright, as most of you already know, we're planning to launch an attack on the Earth Cradle in a few days.  As the person here most accustomed to it, I'm taking the liberty to go over a few things we should keep in mind.

For one, the Earth Cradle is nearly impregnable.  It's designed to be the last little patch of dirt on this planet to hold out ( Read more... )

*Hey!  Look who's back on base!  And in a somewhat upset mood!*

Why'd they go after her?  More importantly, Lemon never mentioned her but at the same time acted like she knew Excellen.

Lemon, was there something you were keeping from me?

*By the time the Soulgain reaches the Shadow Mirror base, its battle damage is a thing of the past.  Axel's morale, on the other hand, is an entirely different story, and knowing he's going to have to put on a facade the second he gets out of his machine, he pauses.*

Dammit Lamia, you didn't have to do that.  You could have at ( Read more... )

Miss Loveless, in light of recent events involving me using your Barrelion without properly requesting it, it has come to my conclusion I need to repay you.  Possibly and preferably by way of a date.

Yes, I'm pulling at straws here but you're a beautiful young lady and I shouldn't need a terrific reason to offer you one.

I don't like what happened out there and I REAAAAALLY don't like what it implies about the difference between those guys and us.  To just absorb a whole nuclear reactor's power and all the attacks of the Hagane before draining the Soulgain...  These guys made it personal now.

Anyways, Ray.  See if you can get any data about that energy draining ( Read more... )

Okay. Now it's official ( Read more... )
