The Reploids.... They were robots designed to look like Humans.... These technical marvels were given unique personalities and were intended to be the perfect workers and the perfect partners for mankind... But.... The wheels of peace between Reploids and Humans were beginning to grind to a halt. The Reploids were well designed. Perhaps too well. Their humanity began to sow the seeds of rebellion. The rebels were labeled Mavericks and feared by their Human masters.... The Humans decided to pit Reploid against Reploid.... That was the fate given to them. The Reploids fighting for humanity were never given a choice... Thus the war of the machines began and the Humans just watched.... War begot war.... And time passed... Even with the construction of the utopian Human city Neo Arcadia, the war dragged on.... The Mavericks defeated the leader of Neo Arcadia. And now... Neo Arcadia is under the control of the criminal Dr. Weil. The former utopia is now only a shadow of its former glory. Many have started to flee the city. We are one of those groups fleeing from the clutches of Dr. Weil in our caravan....

Neige: Ah! I should've grabbed a faster car!
Soldier: Neige! They're catching up!
Neige: I know, I know! But this is as fast as it goes!
Soldier: Shoot! Dr. Weil is trying to bring us back!

Ciel: Zero! Can you hear me? The enemy is heading for the caravan. Help them!
Zero: Understood. Commencing mission. Ciel, I'll need some help with the trailer.

Ciel: Zero! I'm detecting heat signatures! Zero, something's coming!
Zero: Bring the trailer closer, I'll take care of it.
Ciel: Gotcha.

Zero: It looks like everyone is okay. I'm surprised to see someone crazy enough to drive out here in the middle of nowhere.
Neige: Do you always give Lectures to the people you save? Well... Thanks anyway.
Soldier: Neige, we don't have time for this, let's go.
Neige: You're right... But there's time to say thank you. I don't want the Reploids thinking we're ungrateful. Prepare to leave. I'll be there soon.
Soldier: Alright. No good can come of dealing with Reloids...
Zero: .... You're human?
Neige: Yes, we are. Are Humans outside of Neo Arcadia that rare?
Ciel: Zero!
Neige: Zero?
Ciel: Zero... I'm glad you're okay. It looks like the vehicle is okay too.
Neige: Thanks to you both. You saved us Dr. Ciel.
Ciel: Huh? How did you know.... Who are you?
Neige: The name's Neige, I'm human just like you. I used to be a journalist who traveled the world. That's why I heard rumors about you and the Resistance. That you led the Reploids against Neo Arcadia... And are supposed to be very dangerous.
Ciel: Dangerous? We're not...
Zero: .....
Neige: I've heard a lot about you too. I knew you were in the Resistance when I heard Ciel call your name just now. So you're the legendary Reploid, Zero.
Zero: We don't want any strange rumors being spread about us.
Neige: There won't be. I'm just telling you what I've heard. But others might think differently than me. I'll be seeing you. It's time for us to get going.
Ciel: Going? Where are you going anyway?
Zero: If you're human then why don't you just stay in Neo Arcadia? You put all this together just to escape from there?
Neige: Just stay there!? Because we're human? You must be joking! Wait, you don't know do you? That place has changed... Didn't you see us getting attacked just now? It's terrible. It doesn't matter anymore. Human or Reploid, it's all the same. Anyone that opposes Weil is treated like a Maverick. The evil Dr. Weil who was driven away from Neo Arcadia... He controls all of the energy and production there and everywhere all because some "hero" defeated the leader of Neo Arcadia. The great sanctuary for us humans... Is no more....
Ciel: But then that means what we did was...
Neige: The humas are afarid of being "removed" if they oppose Weil, so he rules unchecked. As long as they stay quiet, they stay safe... But who knows how long before Weil decides to get rid of them too. That's why we've fled from that place. We're heading for the Settlement in Area Zero.
Zero: Area Zero? There's a human settlement there?
Ciel: Then we'll go with you. Who knows when Weil will strike next...
Neige: Well, Ciel is human, but Reploids aren't welcome. Especially "heroes" like you.
Zero: What's that supposed to mean?
Neige: The Settlement is full of people who were caught up in the Reploid War, so they don't take too kindly to Reploids. Humans aren't as strong or friendly as you might think. I won't tell the Caravaners that you are the Zero that defeated the leader of Neo Arcadia. Don't get us involved in anything. Talk to you later.

Zero: Humans, huh...
Ciel: Zero.... We should get back to the trailer...
Zero: Right....

Zero: Something about the Caravan bothering you?
Ciel: Yeah... I was shocked to hear that ll of the humans at the Settlement hated the Reploids.... It's just I've... We've fought so hard for the Reploids, that I didn't know other humans felt that way...
Zero: Didn't they say the Settlement was in a place called Area Zero?
Ciel: That's where we should be heading too. They're struggling to maintain their independence from Weil, and we have to help them.
Zero: Do what you feel is right.
Ciel: Thanks Zero, I just need a little more time. Now might be a good time to drop by Cerveau's for some maintenance. After that come and see me in the commander's room. Oh, before that... I'll save your data!
You sure? Don't overdo it. I'll be here if you change your mind. I'm in charge of data. Just drop by if you need to save...

Cerveau: Hey Zero, you hanging in there? Need a little work? Those dust clouds are somethings else.
Zero: No, I'm fine.
Cerveau: Alright, but don't overdo it. Did you try out your Zero Knuckle yet? You probably already know about it, but it's a weapon onboard a chip implanted into your hand. It gives you a big strength boost that comes in handy when attacking enemies or stealing their weapons. It doesn't work for every enemy, but for the ones it does, just finish them off with the Zeor Knuckle to grab their weapon. By the way, what's your next move?
Zero: Ciel is looking into Area Zero. I think the humans there need our help...
Cerveau: Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. If there's anything I can do to help, don't be afraid to ask! Oh! I almost forgot something important. Enemies sometimes drop parts. You might be able to use some of those to make new chips. If you want to try making one, just let me know!

Cerveau: Need something?
Just some extra info on the Zero Knuckle... You can push the Toss Button or pick a weapon from the sub screen to throw away one you've taken from an enemy. There's a limit to the amount of times you can use a weapon that was taken, so keep that in mind. Oh, and another thing, if you're hanging down, you don't need to go to the sub screen to equip the Zero Knuckle, you can just press Up while jumping or falling. Just remember that you can't use your Zero Knuckle or any of the weapons you've taken while hanging down. That's because you're using The Zero's Knuckle's power to hang down. If you need to practice, go ahead and try it out in this room.
If you want to make chips, the easiest waty to go about it is by finding the recipes. The only problem with that is some of the better chips don't have recipes.

Soldier: Hey Zero! I just received word from Ciel. She'd like you to go see her in the commander's room.
You don't want to keep Ciel waiting...

Zero: Did you find out anything about Area Zero?
Ciel: Yes... It's not far from here. Neige and the others should arrive there soon. Area Zero is the site in the Maverick Wars, where the space colony Eurasia crashed.... Many lives were lost there...
Zero: Area Zero is the painful reminder of a war long past... Humans are living there now?
Operator: Data about Area Zero has been sent from the Resistance Base. Since the crash of the space colony, the section has been sealed off, but apparently the land has been renewed in that time and nature is becoming more and more abundant.
Ciel: Nature is coming back to Area Zero!?
Operator: It's said to be due to an environmental system still left active after the crash. It's not much, but it still means hope for humanity.
Ciel: Have you managed to find the human settlement?
Operator: There was not enough data to pinpoint an exact location. We need to conduct a closer investigation of Area Zero.
Ciel: Zero, can you head out there and check it out? We'll be following in the trailer.
Operator: Going to Area Zero? Y/N
Understood. I'm ready when you are...

Talk to who? Operator/Ciel
Ciel: What's up? Data storage/Talk
If nature really has been revived, that would be amazing. I have to see it to believe it.

Zero: Understood. Operator, transport me.
Operator: Alright. Coordinates set.... How could this be!?
Zero: How could what be?
Operator: I'm detecting multiple Reploid signals! I think they're Neo Arcadian... No, they're Weil's Reploids!
Ciel: What are they doing in Area Zero!?
Zero: Operator, get me over there. Hurry!
Operator: Alright... Ready for transfer. Transfer!
Ciel: Zero, be careful.

Zero: So this is Area Zero? Ciel, are you seeing this on the monitor?
Ciel: Yes, I'm seeing it now. That's amazing. I didn't know such a natural place still existed.
Zero: Ciel.... What's my mission?
Ciel: Oh, sorry! The enemy is in the colony remains... The entrance should be up ahead.
Zero: Understood... I am in pursuit. What could Dr. Weil be up to?

Popla Cocapetri: Kyaka! Why sweat the small stuff! I'm all for crushing Area Zero, but this is taking forever. I guess I don't have much choice but to follow Lord Weil's plan.
Zero: It looks like I missed a grunt.
Popla Cocapetri: Kya! Who dares call me a grunt! Who are you? And where did you come from? I'll teach you to come in here and insult me! Kyakya!
Zero: You're a noisy one.
Popla Cocapetri: Kyakya! Now I'm mad! Come on! I'll show you! Kakya!
Fenri Lunaedge: Don't steal all the fun Cocapetri.
Sol Titanion: Yes... I want to be the one to light his fire!
Popla Cocapetri: Kya! Quiet! He's going to be my dinner!
Pegasolta Eclair: You're the one that needs to be quiet. You weren't back on time, so we had to come find you.
Noble Mandrago: By the way, who is that Reploid standing over there?
Mino Magnus: Roar! Th-that.... Is.... Ze...
Tech Kraken: His name is Zero. There was data on him in Lord Weil's master plan. Mino Magnus... Try to speed it up next time.
Heat Genblem: Zero? So this Reploid is our target? Then we should take care of him here and now!
Zero: Ah!
???: Time's running out. Leave him.
Craft: We're only here to investigate Area Zero. You don't have clearance to fight.
Pegasolta Eclair: Oh come on Commander Craft. You aren't saying we should just leave the enemy are you?
Craft: We need the power of Ragnarok to destroy this much nature. Once Raganarok has begun, one Reploid will be beneath our concern. There's no time to deal with him now.
Zero: Destroy the nature in Area Zero!? Just what are you trying to do!?
Craft: My name is Craft. I am a soldier of Neo Arcadia... No, Lord Weil. We.... Lord Weil... Requires all nature be destroyed.
Fenri Lunaedge: Lately there are a lot of impudent humans thinking the world outside Neo Arcadia is better.
Sol Titanion: That's why we must make sure it isn't by burning it.
Popla Cocapetri: Then, nobody will have delusions of escaping Lord Weil!
Noble Mandrago: Who would choose nature over Lord Weil anyway?
Pegasolta Eclair: I can't believe it. Humans are so foolish.
Mino Magnus: Roar! Commander Craft.... Is... The...
Tech Kraken: Is the leader of the Einherjar, the Eight Warriors!
Heat Genblem: The eight of us will destroy the environment.
Craft: Then, as part of Lord Weil's plan, we will destroy Area Zero as well. That is "Ragnarok." You see, Zero. There's nothing you can do... You're no threat to Lord Weil. You'll come to understand. This world belongs to Lord Weil. One person can't change the world. Heroes are a thing of the past...
Zero: ....
Craft: Time to go... Ragnarok has begun.
Zero: ...
Ciel: Zero! Are you okay?
Zero: Ciel, is that you? Did you get all of that?
Ciel: Yes, I can't believe Dr. Weil would do that... We've arrived in Area Zero too...We found the Settlement, return to the trailer.
Zero: Understood... Operator, bring me back.
Operator: Commencing transport.

Operator: Transferring in.... 2... 1... Welcome back.
Ciel: Welcome back Zero. It seems the Reploids weren't aware of the Settlement's presence. I knwo Neige warned us not to go to the Settlement, but we need to tell them about Ragnarok.
Operator: With Weil's army so close, we can't afford to risk alerting them to the Settlement's presence by transferring you there. You'll have to go on foot, just exit the trailer and keep going right. It shouldn't take you long to reach it.
Ciel: Oh, and Zero... We just received data on all new Cyber-elf from the Resistance Base.
Zero: New Cyber-elf?
Ciel: They've been conducting research on Cyber-elves. We've got one of the new ones in the room next door with Alouette. Pick it up from her. She also has the operating manual, so ask her for more details about it.
Zero: I will.
Ciel: When you're ready, head out to the Settlement. I'll catch up to you later in the trailer.

Alouette: Oh, Zero! Check this Elf out! Its eyes are closed because it's still a baby. It just came! Oh yeah, Zero! I came up with a name... How's Croire?
I like it / I don't think so
Really? That's great. I'm glad you like it! Croire means "believe." Not a bad name at all!
No!? I put a lot of thought into that name... Well, go check with the others, they might have a better name. When you find one, come back and I'll tell you how to use the new Elf.
Hey Zero... Let's just go with Croire for the name. Croire's okay right?
I don't think so / I like it
You're no fun... Hurry up and name the poor thing.
Really? I'm glad I thought of it then!
Okay Zero, I'm going to tell you how the Elf works. It came with a manual...Want me to explain?
No / Sure
Hmph! I was all set to tell you about the Elf! You're no fun at all... I hope you know what you're doing.
Okay, I'll explain! This new Elf can copy the abilities of other Elves. In fact, it can handle up to 3 at a time! It's still a baby though, so you can't use all of them yet. Give it E-Crystals to help it grow. Here's where it gets a little tricky. The Elf has something called a max level. If the 3 ability levels combined exceed the max, then you lose a point for each level over the max. In other words, as long as you keep the combined levels below the max level, you don't lose any points! There's probably also a way to raise the max level. When you want to help the Elf grow, come on by!
What is it Zero?
Elf / Talk
If you need any help with your Elf, leave it to me! I still need to check the manual from time to time, but I hope I can be of some help. Need an explanation?
Need help with your Elf, I'm your girl! I hope I can be some use even if I have to check the manual now and again.
No, I'm fine / Can I hear it?
Alright... If you're sure.
Alright! I'll start from the top. Wanna ask something?
Total Level / Max Level
This Elf can handle one of each of the Nurse, Animal and Hacker abilites. The combined level of all three abilities is called the total level. Got it?
The max level is basically how much you can use your Elf without overdoing it. For example, if it has a max level of 5, and the combined levels of the Nurse, Animal and Hacker abilities comes to less than 5, then there is no point loss for using the Elf. If you don't care about losing points, then you can always go beyond the max. It's a bit tricky, but did you get it?

Croire: Mi Mimimi....
Zero?
I'm hungry. E-Crystals, give me more!
Zero!
I've been good. Can I have more E-Crystals?
Zero! I'll do my best!

Ciel: I just heard from Faucon guarding outside. Weil's troops have left the road to the Settlement.
Zero... Do you think you could scout ahead and check out the Settlement?

Cerveau: Hey Zero! Did you know there are different levels for chips? The different levels have similar recipes. Just add a certain something to a level 1 chip recipe and voila, it becomes a level 2 chip.
If you start to find a lot of parts, just come to me. I'll make you some great chips from them!

Hirondelle: Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? You can use the Weather Changer now.
The areas you can use the Weather Changer are limited, but you can tell which ones can be adjusted by the weather icon on the monitor.

Soldier: Hey Zero! Weil's troops have finally left the area. Now you can go to the Settlement whenever you want! I have to warn you though, they aren't going to be throwing any welcome parties for Reploids like us. It's too bad because we just want to help them.
I'll keep standing guard here!

Soldier: Hey you! Stop! You're a Reploid. This isn't the place for you! Get out of here!
Ciel: Wait! We have to tell you something!
Neige: We told you to get out....
Ciel: Weil is going to destroy this place. If you leave now, there's still time.
Soldier: Hmph.... Another Reploid War? First the Maverick Wars, then the Elf Wars, now Weil... How long does this world have to suffer while you carry out your petty wars?
Ciel: Huh?
Soldier: Just leave us alone. This settlement was built by humans, for humans, and we'll protect it by ourselves.
Ciel: But it's dangerous for you to fight Weil alone...
Soldier: So you'd like humans and Reploids to join forces? Don't be a fool! It's you Reploids and your wars that got us into this mess. We have no reason to trust you.
Ciel: B-but... We were just trying to protect you!
Zero: Save you breath. Neige said we wouldn't be welcome...
Ciel: B-but!
Zero: We told them what we know. It's up to them to decide what to do with that. Isn't that right Neige?
Neige: That's right....
Zero: I'm going back to the trailer. The enemy will be making their final move soon.

Ciel: Zero... I....
Zero: Worrying won't stop Weil's army. You can only do your best and hope that's enough.
Ciel: Alright then, let's do what we can to protect the nature around Area Zero. I hope the people in the Settlement will come to realize we're not trying to hurt them.
Zero: I'm sure they will.
Operator: I've found signals for Weil's army! There are 8 units!
Zero: Ragnarok has begun...
Operator: Feeding data to the screen now. Choose a mission?
No / Yes
Tell me when you're ready to go!

Ciel: I'm not surprised the people at the Settlement don't like us. It's only natural they wouldn't trust us when we talk about helping them... But we don't have time to fix that impression of us.... We just have to hope they'll learn to trust us after we stand up to Weil.
We might not have much time, but I'll do my best to get the people in the Settlement to understand us. Maybe someday they'll come around.

Soldier: Hey Zero! When I was cleaning out the trailer, I found this. I'm not sure, but it looks like a recipe. Maybe you can put it to better use than I can.
Zero... I've heard that Hirondelle has some Sub Tanks on hand for when he goes traveling around the world. If you can find an S-Crystal, he might trade you for one.

Hirondelle: Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? If you alter the weather with the Weather Changer, some of the Eight Warriors' weapons will be no good. It would seem they use the weather to power up their attacks, so make sure you avoid giving them the edge when picking the weather for an area. The one drawback is that you won't be able to pick up their EX Skill.
Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? In order to make body chips, you'll need to pick up Ceratanium.

Alouette: Hey Zero! Can you look after my Elf for me? Take good care of it!
Hey Zero! You know... Don't tell Ciel, but when I grow up, I want ot do research about Elves.

Cerveau: Hey Zero! Are you picking up some parts? Try just combining some of the parts you have. You might discover a brand-new chip!
If you want to make a rare chip, try finding more parts. When you get more parts, be sure to drop by and see me!

Operator: These are the areas you can go.

Area: Hibernation Chamber
Boss: Fenri Lunaedge
Mission: Destroy the enemy
Operator: I've discovered an old Cyber-elf research lab that is over a century old. Some of the failed experiments have been in hibernation since the war... They are starting to wake up, and some of them are quite dangerous. There are Mechaniloids and Mavericks all over the place. Infiltrate and wipe out the enemy.
It's sunny out, so some routes blocked by ice may become available. You might discover a hidden route.

Operator: I found a door in a different location with a special lock and it looks like you'll need a card key to open it. This doesn't have any direct bearing on your current mission, but I just wanted to let you know in case you wanted to check it out.

Fenri Lunaedge: Gaaah... You've kept me waiting, hero. I thought you might have been ripped apart by my helpers. And here I rushed to get everything ready for you. Then again, there are none that can keep up with me! I hope you can at least make things interesting for me. After all, you are a hero.
Fenri Lunaedge: Gaaah!? Hehe... Not bad... True to the name hero... But it's not over yet. Not by along shot! The true power of Ragnarok is only just beginning.... Hehe... You should start preparing your list of excuses when you have to explain why you couldn't save Area Zero! Graaah!

Ciel: Thank you Zero. You helped contain the Cyber-elves. Now they can rest in peace...

Area: Hanging Gardens
Boss: Pegasolta Eclair
Mission: Stop the acid rain
Operator: We've located Weil's floating fortress. It generates special clouds that become a source of lightning and acid rain. Get on board and ground that floating monstrosity.
As the area is sunny, some of the clouds have dissipated, keeping visibility high. This seems like an opportune time to strike.

Operator: There are acid rain generators! Destroy them and save the ground below!

Pegasolta Eclair: I will smite the worthless vermin down below... Lord Weil came up with a plan as beautiful as myself. All ugly things must bow down before me. Pegasolta Eclair will send you to the depths below!

Pegasolta Eclair: Wah! How could this happen to me!? You.... Beating me? That's impossible... But... My death, it's so beautiful!

Ciel: I can't believe they were planning to attack using that flying fortress. Weil means business. I can't believe he's human. How can he be so cruel?

Area: Artificial Sun
Boss: Sol Titanion
Mission: Halt the sun
Operator: I'm reading an abnormal spike in the heat signature at point A-2. It seems as if Weil has taken over an artificial sun, originally designed for weather control, and has modified it to overheat. The extreme heat has dried out the area, making it a desert. The desertification is spreading towards Area Zero, so stop that sun before it's too late.
It's overcast now, so the temperature is not as bad as it could be. Consider yourself lucky, now is a good time to strike.

Operator: The temperature is rising rapidly at your location. Even you won't be able to last long in that heat... Once your armor reaches 100% capacity, you will start taking damage. Hide in the shade as much as possible to stay cool. There are several energy generators. If you can destroy them, you should be able to lower the temperature.

Sol Titanion: Kyahahaha! You must be quite fired up to come this far! Ah, but you're not fired up enough for me. I wanna see you seat! I wanna see tears! Show me everything you've got! I love making guys like you into charcoal! Now it's time to get burned!

Sol Titanion: W-what? Why... can't I... move? How could I... lose to you? Unbelievable... No, impossible... Kyaaah!

Ciel: Welcome back Zero. How are you holding up? Even for you, that level of heat is dangerous. I was so worried... I'm glad to see you're safe.

Area: Underground Forest
Boss: Noble Mandrago
Mission: Stop the erosion
Operator: This area used to belong to another resistance group. Now it's being used as a forward base by Weil. I'm detecting plant-like nanomachines. They seem to be thriving on the geothermal energy. at this rate, they'll continue until they engulf Area Zero. Stop them before that happens.
It's overcast, so the nanomachines and Mechaniloids are not operating at 100% efficiency. Now is a good time to strike.

Operator: This area is over-flowing with nanomachines. Nanomachine vines blocking the way can be cleared out with the Buster or Saber... Or even just plucked with the Zero Knuckle.

Noble Mandrago: Oh my, I thought a rat wondered in, but it was just you. You're going to a lot of trouble for the environment. Too bad that trouble will be wasted. You have no hope of stopping Ragnarok. If you're just going to waste energy, give it to me. I'll drain you dry!

Noble Mandrago: Agh... Agh! I'm shriveling up! I am a flower cut down before I could blossom... Agh... Aah! Lord Weiiil!

Ciel: Artificial plants... How ironic that the very technology meant to protect nature is destroying it. Humans are capable of the most wonderful and the most terrifying things with the power of science. As a scientist, it makes me shiver just thinking about it.

Area: Particle Beam
Boss: Heat Genblem
Mission: Cut the power
Operator: A large paricle beam has been placed at point A-4 by Weil's army. It fires intermittent laser beams destroying everything in the area. It appears to be solar powered. Soon, it'll be within firing range of Area Zero. Cut the power supply to the particle beam before Area Zero comes into its range.
Since the weather is overcast, the beam is not charging at 100% capacity. This may be your chance to strike.

Operator: Zero! We can't stop that particle beam from the outside! Infiltrate it and stop it from the inside! I'm scanning for a way inside.
Zero: That's okay... I'll just go in through the barrel.
Operator: That's way too dangerous!
Zero: It looks like it is charging up... There's no time. Commencing mission!

Heat Genblem: Ragnarok will wake the humans from their stupidity... It is the grand plan of our group under Cmdr. Craft! I am one of the Einherjar warriors, Heat Genblem! I will defeat all who stand in our way!

Heat Genblem: Gragh! I failed to destroy my target! I'm sorry I failed you, Cmdr. Craft.... Graaagh!

Ciel: It looks like the boss of that area was the power reactor for the particle beam. Without that around, the beam's power is slowly fading away and no longer poses a threat to Area Zero. Good work Zero.

Area: Living City
Boss: Popla Cocapetri
Mission: Stop sec system
Operator: I've discovered the ruins of what used to be a great city a century ago. It looks to be a fully functional city, but I detect no signs of life. The security system has been hijacked by a virus. It would appear the security system is growing and attacking anything in sight. Put a stop to the city's ambitious expansion plans.
The snowfall in the area has interfered with security system operation. Now is the perfect time to strike.

Operator: Zero... This area is being operated from two locations. One is the control tower and the other is the computer room that lies beyond it. Keep going and put a stop to that control tower.

Operator: Zero, there's the control tower! You can't straight out destroy it, but you can pull the key disk out and disable the tower.

Popla Cocapetri: Kyakya! I've been expecting you Zero! You made a fool of me the last time we met! But I assure you it won't happen again! I am Cocapetri, of the Einherjar eight warriors! We will see Ragnarok through! Kyakya!
Zero: So you're the one who's in control of the security here?
Popla Cocapetri: Kyakya! Surprised? It's all thanks to Lord Weil's virus program! It takes care of intruders without me even lifting a finger!
Zero: So you're the type that can't do anything yourself...
Popla Cocapetri: Kya! First "grunt," now this insult! Unforgivable! I'll turn you into a lawn ornament!

Popla Cocapetri: Kya... kya..... Why can't I move? I haven't been turned to stone, have I? No... it's.... fear keeping me frozen... Kuh... Kyakyaaa!

Ciel: There's something lonely about a ghost town... Even if we win this battle, so long as a gulf exists between humans and Reploids, things like that are bound to exist. We must do what we can for everyone's future.

Area: Deep Sea
Boss: Tech Kraken
Mission: Stop the drill sub
Operator: I received a report that the giant drill sub is currently patrolling the bottom of the sea. Explosives are packd on board, so I believe they are going to drill into the earth and detonate the sub. By breaking up a tectonic plate, they may start an earthquake of catastrophic proportions. Stop the drill sub before it reaches its destination.
The weather is sunnt, so we shouldn't have any problems maintaining radio contact. Ciel should be able to help you navigate your way to the sub.

Ciel: There should be an enemy submarine in the Deep Sea. Even for you, there is a limit to how much water pressure you can handle, so I will try to find you a route. Get in before the count in the upper right runs out.

Ciel: The area around the sub is a maze. Don't get lost!
The entrance is just up ahead if you take the top right passage.
Hurry up! There's not much time!
Zero! Please, you must hurry!
It looks like you've made it inside.
Ciel: ..... area around... sub.... maze... Don't.... get lo....
Zero... Reception... ...king...
Hurry... not... time!
Zero! Pl.... se, .... hurry!
It.... you've made it...

Tech Kraken: You're here.... I've been waiting a long time for this Zero! I'm not just one of the Eight Warriors, I am a remant of the Zan' ei Army led by the late Phantom. I am Tech Kraken! I only put up with that Weil and this whole plan just so I could get revenge on the one who defeated Phantom! Feel the rage of my former master! I will enjoy sinking these fangs of ice into you!

Tech Kraken: Hragh! I have lent my strength to Weil, and now I must pay. There's no way for me to save Phantom's soul... But... I did what I had to do! Phantom! Forgive me!

Ciel: So the boss of this area was one of Phantom's men... Phantom lost his life in one of our many battles. I sometimes wonder if all of our fighting is only creating more suffering in the world?

Area: Magnetic Zone
Boss: Mino Magnus
Mission: Halt the facility
Operator: I've detected a large magnetic flux at point B-1. The eletromagnetic pulses are generating a lot of noise and it's spreading. There's a good chance the noise could interfere with the operation of the environmental control systems in Area Zero. Infiltrate and put a stop to that device.
The lighting serving as a source of power has stopped, rendering the device temporatily inactive. This is your chance to stop it for good.

Operator: From inside the building ahead... I'm reading a powerful magnetic field. Because of the field, your jump might be affected. If you share polarity, you'll jump higher... If it's different you'll jump lower. There are capsules that can change your magnetic polarity... Use them wisely to get through there.

Mino Magnus: Rrroar! You... You've finally.... Come.... Zero! I won't.... Let.. You... Stop.... Ragnarok! I am... The... Great.... Mino... Magnus! I.... Will... Crush.... You... And then.... Uhm...
Zero: I really don't have time to listen to the rest of this. Let's go!
Mino Magnus: Rrroar!
Mino Magnus: Roar!? I.... I.. Lost? How... Can this... Be... Happening!

Ciel: You managed to stop the spreading noise. Good thing too because if it would've kept going, even this trailer would've been in danger.

Operator: This Mission?
Alright... Ready for transfer. Transfer!
Ciel: Zero, be careful.
Operator: Transferring in... 2... 1....
Welcome back.
Ciel: Do your best Zero...

Operator: There are Reploids converging on Area Zero! Weil's Reploids are heading for the Settlement!
Ciel: What!? They found it!?
Operator: Fighting is breaking out across the Settlement! The Reploids are advancing.
Zero: Operator! Transfer me to the Settlement!
Operator: Inputting coordinates!
Ciel: Zero! Protect the Settlement... Please... Oh, before that..... I'll save your data! Zero, be careful!
Operator: Zero! Ready for transfer!
Zero: Transfer me!
Ciel: Zero......

Operator: People from the Settlement are trapped in several of the rooms! To make things worse, fire has broken out. Extinguish the flames and save the people!

Soidler: Hmph, to think you would be the one to save me.
I shoulda known humans wouldn't stand a chance!
This doesn't mean I like you, you know!
I never asked you for your help.
Settlement youth: Thank you for saving us Mister.
Ciel: Zero? Is everyone at the Settlement alright?
Zero: Yes everyone's okay. But I can't find Neige... I wonder if she's hiding somewhere. I'll check around.
Ciel: Alright, but be careful.

Craft: Hmm, see wasn't here either...
Zero: Craft!
Craft: Ah, Zero... I see, you were protecting Area Zero because of the Settlement.
Zero: You were a Neo Arcadian Reploid... You used to fight for humanity, how could you fight for Dr. Weil and attack the Settlement?
Craft: Lord Weil has all of the world's energy in his grasp. Humans and Reploids have no choice but to live under him. There are fools who don't understand that and fight us even though they have no chance of victory. As long as you and the humans continue to fight, there will be casualties!

Craft: So this is the power of the legendary Reploid.... I should have known.
Zero: What's holding you back Craft?
Craft: What are you talking about?
Zero: You're not going all out... It's almost like you wanted to lose. There must be something else behind you attack on the Settlement.
Craft: There is nothing else... Now, just as then, I am fighting for humanity! Area Zero and this Settlement must be sacrificed for the greater good. Humans must learn the folly of defying Lord Weil!
Neige: Stop it!
Zero: Neige!
Neige: Greater good!? What are you doing to help humanity!? How can you talk about the greater good after seeing what you've done to harm nature and this Settlement!? It took a long time for nature to return to its former glory and for the humans living here to find peace... You're trampling humanity underfoot, not helping it! It doesn't matter how hard you try to justify your actions you're both just fighting the same stupid war!
Craft: Neige... I should have known you were here....
Neige: Craft... Why do you follow Weil? When I first met you, you were a proud warrior... You said you'd bring peace to the world and protect humans. you promised me...
Craft: Yes, I remember. And I'm keeping my promise by doing this.
Zero: No! He escaped...
Ciel: Come in Zero. I'm reading the Reploid signals growing fainter. You did it.
Zero: Ciel, Craft's got Neige. Can you track his signal?
Ciel: What!? I'll get right on it.
Soldier: So she was friends with one of those Neo Arcadian Reploids... She pretended to be helping us this whole time.
Soldier: And you... You are the Resistance Reploid Zero.... Hmph. Some legend. Then that other one kept talking about helping humanity but look at what he did to our Settlement!
Settlement youth: Are you gonna go help Neige?
Soldier: Th-that woman.... She's with the Reploids. I'm not gonna stick my neck out for her.
Settlement youth: I-I can't believe you...
Zero: You're just going to abandon her? She put her life on the line to stop the fight and save you and your Settlement!
Soldier: What of it!? If we save her, we might get attacked again!
Zero: Look at you all cowering in fear. You're no different than the humans in Neo Arcadia...
Soldier: H-how dare you!
Zero: If you're going to be like that, why even put your lives at stake to leave Neo Arcadia in the first place?
Soldier: W-well....
Ciel: Zero? I found Neige. Get back here ASAP...
Zero: I'll be right there.
Settlement youth: Please... Save Neige...

Ciel: Welcome back Zero. I know where Neige was taken. There's an enemy base west of our current position. Neige and Craft should be there.
Operator: We're ready for transfer when you are.

Ciel: Zero... I'm worried about Neige. Please, you have to help her!
We know where Neige was taken. There's an enemy base west of here. Neige and Craft should be inside.

Cerveau: What!? Craft took Neige!? Then... The people at the Settlement must be off mounting a rescue attempt, right?
I don't think the humans stand a chance against Weil. You need to get to Neige first.

Alouette: Hey Zero... The humans at the Settlement don't seem to like Reploids very much... But, I have faith in them. Neige and the otehrs are human just like Ciel, so they'll come around....
Hey Zero... Neige is okay, right?

Hirondelle: Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? The journalist woman in the Settlement got kidnapped! What? You knew? You're pretty down with the latest happenings, huh?
Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? The name of the Reploid that has the journalist is Craft. What? You knew that too!? You really know your stuff!

Soldier: Zero... I can't believe what happened... I hope Neige is okay....
If the Settlement was attacked, we might be in danger too. I'll be extra vigilant in my guard duty!

Area: The Prison
Boss: ???
Mission: Save Neige
Operator: This is the point where Craft disappeared after taking Neige. This is probably the forward base for Ragnarok operations.
Zero: So Neige is here...
Ciel: Hey Zero... Are we doing the right thing?
Zero: You mean the people in the Settlement?
Ciel: Yeah... Even if we help Neige.... What good will it do if the people don't open their hearts? I've been thinking ever since I heard about how much the humans hate the Reploids... I wonder if we can make this world a better place.
Operator: An outside line. It's coming from the Settlement.
Ciel: Huh?
Operator: Patching it through.
Settlement youth: Come in Zero... We can't do anything to save Neige. We humans aren't as strong as you Reploids. But you were right. If we abandon Neige, this whole Settlement means nothing. From the moment we all decided to live free of Weil's rule, Neige has helped us too many times to count. We don't have the right to ask you this, but... Please save Neige for us. If you really aren't like Weil and the others, please lend us yuor strength!
Ciel: Zero!
Zero: I will save Neige.
Settlement youth: Thank you.... And.... Good luck...
Operator: Zero, we're ready when you are.
Ciel: Zero... Be careful out there!
Zero: Operator, transfer me.
Operator: Alright... Ready for transfer. Transfer!
Ciel: Zero.... Make sure you come back in one piece.

Operator: Keep going and you'll eventually reach a duct leading inside. It's dangerous, but it leads to Neige's location.

Neige: Zero! What are you doing here!?
Zero: I'm here to rescue you. The people back at the Settlement sent me.
Neige: Thanks... But I still want to talk to Craft...
Zero: Is he a friend of yours?
Neige: Craft saved me from Mavericks when I was just starting out as a reporter. I was amazed at how he fought to protect the humans. Hehe, it's kinda strange, a human falling for a Reploid.
Zero: .....
Craft: Then I fell in love too. Neige fought her hardest to expose the truth to people.
Neige: Craft!
Craft: Neige... You haven't changed a bit. Once you set your mind to something, you see it through to the end.
Neige: You've changed. You think you're fighting for humanity, but you are just a pawn being played by Weil.
Craft: You understand nothing. Weil will destroy everything outside of Neo Arcadia with Ragnarok. That includes you. That's why I helped him, so I could find you... To protect you.... Not just you, but all humans and Reploids... We have to maintain what little energy we have to survive. Even if that means a life under Weil's control...
Neige: So that's why you blindy follow Weil? Stealing freedom and destroying nature just for survival? Is this the justice you have fought for?
Craft: ....
???: Hehehe.... You humans dare talk about justice? A hundred years aho you drove me from Neo Arcadia... You've disposed of Maverick Reploids like garbage... Humans complaining about justice!? Don't make me laugh!
Neige: Y-you!
Zero: Dr. Weil!
Weil: Hehehe... You've been keeping busy Zero. There are only four soldiers left now... But no matter.... You still can't stop Ragnarok. Not a chance! Hehehe! A question for the lady: Will you stay and die in Area Zero for your "freedom?" Or will you follow Craft's example and follow me? I really don't care one way or the other.
Neige: Ah! Weil!
Weil: Hehehe.... That's the face... The face of rage, suffering and humiliation... It's my greatest pleasure.... A pleasure only a ruler can fully appreciate!
Craft: Don't you get it? Justice has long abandoned this world. Only life and death matters now. Neige... I don't want you to become one of the dead.
Zero: Hmph!
Weil: Zero... Can you really kill me? A human? Do you want to become a Maverick in front of her?
Neige: (Zero, close your eyes when I give the signal...)
Zero: ....
Weil: So what will you do? Zero? Girl?
Neige: If the only other choice is a living death under you... Then I'd rather choose to laugh death in the face and face it with dignity! Zero! Now!
Craft: What!? A trick!
Weil: Agh! I can't see! You'll pay for that!
Weil: the little scoundrels escaped. Hmph, no matter.... Craft, continue with Ragnarok. And find those two. We'll show them the error of their ways!
Craft: Laughing death in the face and facing it with dignity is better than a.... Living death... Neige... I...

Zero: Are you okay?
Neige: That was nothing for a hardened journalist. Did you like the little trick I keep handy?
Zero: We can't stay here, it's dangerous. Ciel, come in. Get us out of here.
Ciel: Zero! I'm glad to see you're okay! Neige is with you? I'll bring Neige back first.
Zero: I'm counting on you.
Neige: Thanks Zero....
Zero: I only did what the people at the Settlement asked. If you're going to thank anyone, thank them...
Neige: I will then... Craft, I'm sorry....
Ciel: Neige is back. Now it's your turn Zero.
???: Prison Area escape detected! Repeat, escape detected! Upgrading to Security Level 3!
Ciel: Zero!? What's happening!? I can't... Coordinates... Zero... Respond!
Zero: The signal's being jammed! I have to get out on my own now!

Ciel: Zero! Come in!
Zero: I'm free of the jamming, bring me back.
Operator: Understood. Retrieving Zero.

Ciel: It's good to see you back.
Zero: Where's Neige?
Ciel: She went back to the Settlement to tell everyone thanks.
Zero: I see...
Ciel: Do you think we really helped the humans?
Zero: I do... But we're not out of it yet, there's still work to do.
Ciel: Right! Let's put a stop to Weil's evil plan!

Ciel: Thanks Zero... I'm glad Neige was alright.
Zero... Ragnarok is still underway... .... We have to protect the world from Weil!

Cerveau: Hey Zero! I'm glad Neige is okay. I hope this helps the humans to open up to us.
Zero... Ragnarok is still underway? We better stay on guard.

Alouette: Zero! What a relief Neige is okay!
Hey Zero... I wonder if I can make friends with the people in the Settlement too?

Hirondelle: Hey there, Zero! Have you heard? That journalist is safe now. Oh! That's right, you saved her... Sorry about that!
I'm sorry. Since I've been stuck here, I haven't been able to go and get any new information for you. I'm looking forward to traveling around the world again...

Soldier: It's a relief to hear Neige is okay. But poor Craft... I can understand where he was coming from though.
It looks like the people at the Settlement are finally starting to understand us. I wonder if the day when humans and Reploids can live together in peace is closer than we realize.

Operator: All missions are complete. Area Zero's situation is nominal.
Zero: It looks like I made it in time then.
Ciel: It looks like you did! Now Area Zero is safe. Is everything okay? Take a break, you deserve one.
Operator: I'm receiving word from the Resistance Base. Opening channel.
Operator 2: Ciel! Zero! It's terrible! The base radar has detected a large energy signature! The signature is coming from space!
Ciel: Space!?
Operator: The energy signature is off the charts! It's heading... Area Zero! Get out.... there!
Ciel: What is it!? Respond! What's going on up there!?
Operator: Something's overriding the signal! The source is... Neo Arcadia!
???: Hehehe... Bwahahaha!
Zero: I knew it... Dr. Weil!
Weil: I told you Zero! You don't have a chance of stopping Ragnarok! Laying down a blanket of destruction from the comfort of my space cannon was what Ragnarok was built for the whole time! The Eight Warriors were nothing more than a diversion until I could complete Ragnarok!
Zero: Operator! Can you transfer me to Ragnarok?
Operator: I'm sorry, I can't pinpoint the coordinates! I can't send you anywhere without a destination!
Weil: Hehehe! Bwahahahaha! Your confusion thrills me to no end! You pathetic insects crawling around getting excited about your precious nature! I want to hear you scream as you meet your doom!
???: The only one that's doomed is you!
Weil: How dare you! That voice... Craft!?
Craft: I've destroyed Ragnarok's remote control system. I am no longer your dog to yank around by the chain! Now I control Ragnarok! Your space cannon is no longer pointed at Area Zero.... It's pointed at you and Neo Arcadia!
Weil: Seduced by the sweet words of a woman! Unbelievable! You do realize how many humans and Reploids are living under my control!
Craft: Are you saying I should play the loyal Reploid and follwo you!? Not doing... Not thinking... Just waiting at your beck and call? And are you condoning tjhe destruction of nature, struggling just to survive!? I... I will not let you take control! I've fought too long and too hard for humanity to let you! I will change the world!
Ciel: What!? So you're going to attack Neo Arcadia instead!? There are still humans and Reploids there! Come in Resistance Base!
Operator 2: .... el! Com.... ! Cie... Communication restored! Ciel, come in!
Ciel: Get everyone in the Resistance over to Neo Arcadia! Get the humans and Reploids out of there! Even if you have to force them out, try to save as many as you can! Too many have already seen enough suffering...
Operator 2: Understood! I will relay your orders immediately!
Operator: Preparations for transfer to Ragnarok complete! Since the coordinates are based on Craft's signal, this will be a forced transfer. Also, your position will be somewhat removed from Craft's in the control room.
Zero: Alright, just transfer me... Ciel.... Don't give up hope...
Ciel: Zero!
Operator: Alright.... Ready for transfer.
Ciel: Zero... Come back to us...

Zero: It already fired! Ciel! Respond!
???: Zzz.... zzz...
Zero: It's not working... What's going on up there?

Craft: Zero... What are you doing here?
Zero: I won't let you fire again!
Craft: You were after Weil weren't you? Ragnarok is charging up for a second shot. This will change the world and the people in it...
Zero: Do you think Neige would approve of what you're doing?
Craft: I know that what I'm doing makes me seem like Weil. I don't care if people think I am a Maverick! Someone has to take a stand and fix humanity's course.

Zero: We're only Reploids designed for war. It's not our place to change the world. That's up to humans like Ciel and Neige. As Reploids, we can only lend strength to those we trust.
Craft: Trust? And just who should I be trusting? The humans that do nothing while their world falls apart? The humans that fear us, their own creations? Or the humans that try to conquer the world? We fight each other for them!? This world screams out in pain under them... Why should I trust anyone? How can you trust them? How can you fight?
Zero: I made a promise to a friend I intend to keep. To someone who believed harmony between human and Reploid was possible. I trust that friend. And I trust the humans that friend trusts...
Craft: I... see.... I couldn't even bring myself to trust Neige... Even though she has always only told the truth... Agh!
Zero: Craft!
Craft: Leave my body... here.... I can... no longer face Neige.... I don't want.... to cause her to suffer any more....
Zero: I will do as you asked.
Craft: Zero... The humans.... The Reploids... The world.... And Neige... Watch.... over them. ....
Zero: .....
Ciel: Zero! Respond!
Zero: Ciel... I stopped Ragnarok...
Ciel: and Craft?
Zero: And Craft....
Ciel: I'm sorry... I don't know what to say....
Zero: You don't need to say anything... Mission complete.... I'm coming back...

Soldier: Colbor Team here! Mission complete Ciel! The humans and Reploids have been evacuated! Neo Arcadia has been eradicated by Ragnarok's attack... There is nothing but a crater in the center where Weil was. I doubt there were any survivors in that area...
Ciel: I see.... Good work everyone... Continue to search for any survivors...
Colbor: Acknowledged....
Zero: Ciel, are you okay?
Ciel: I'm okay... Just a little tired....
Operator: Incoming communication from an outside line... It's from the Settlement. I'll patch it in.
Neige: Zero....
Zero: Neige... It was just like you said.... It doesn't matter what I do, as long as I keep fighting, I'm no different from Weil. And I.... had to fight Craft...
Neige: No Zero.... Thank you... For stopping Craft...
Ciel: Ragnarok and Neo Arcadia are no more... Is it finally over? So many humans and Reploids lost their lives... Zero, did we do the right thing?

Ciel: What was that!?
Operator: It... came from Ragnarok! It's still operational!
Ciel: But Weil and Craft are gone! Who could be controling it!?
Zero: Operator! Send me back to Ragnarok!
Operator: I can't! Only the control room is connected. There's protection around the circuit to the center. We can't transfer you from the access port in the trailer! Ragnarok is accelerating... And it's heading straight for...
Zero: What's wrong?
Operator: It's heading straight for Area Zero! Someone's trying to crash it!
Ciel: What!?
Operator: There's still some time before it touches down, but we can't disable the circuit protection from here!
Zero: Isn't there something we can do!?
Neige: Zero! Ciel! You okay!?
Ciel: Neige! Ragnarok is...
Neige: I heard! I'm sending over some coordinates, you might be able to reach Ragnarok with these!
Ciel: Wh.... Where do these go?
Neige: To the Teleporter Base is Neo Arcadia. It was originally designed to transfer troops. It might have just enough power to get you over to Ragnarok!
Operator: Coordinates received from the Settlement. Inputting now.
Ciel: Zero!
Zero: If that's our only chance, it's one I have to take.
Operator: Coordinates to the Teleporter Base have been set. Transfer to T. Base?
Alright, I'll add the Base to the map. It's available whenever you're ready.

Ciel: I would've never thought to use the Transporter Base. Neige knows her stuff.
Zero... It's going to be dangerous out there, so watch yourself.

Cerveau: It's been a long and tough fight... But, I think you made the right decision.
Zero... I'm so sorry that all I can do is help you with new weapons and chips. I feel terrible leaving all the fighting to you.

Alouette: Hey Zero.... What'll happen to us if Ragnarok crashes down?
I'm scared Zero...

Croire: Hey Zero. I want to help you any way I can.
Use magnet enemy and frog enemy parts for a new chip.
All this talking has made me hungry.

Hirondelle: Zero... Back when I was traveling around the world, I saw a lot of devastation caused by war with my own two eyes. I can understand now why Neige hates war so much. Zero.... I wonder if humans and Reploids will ever be able to live together in peace again?
Zero... I have a feeling we still have a lot left to do. We need to pool our strength if we want to bring peace back to this war-torn world.

Soldier: Zero... You did good out there.
I'll keep watch until we're sure the threat is over.

Operator: I've put in the coordinates for the Teleporter Base.
Ciel: Zero... Come back to us....

Operator: In order to send the transporter coordinates, you're going to have to disable the base's protection. You can disable it by pulling all of the switches at the end of each of the hallways.

Operator: 3 left. Pull all the switches.
2 left. Pull all the switches.
1 left. Pull that switch.
Protection disabled. I'll input the coordinates. Return to the central section and check the transporter.

Operator: Inputting coordinates... Done.
Ciel: Now you can reach Ragnarok, so get back here ASAP.

Ciel: Thanks to you, we've secured access to the Teleporter Circuit. We still have to bypass the protection surrounding Ragnarok, but I've got an idea. Let's continue with the next mission when you're ready.

Ciel: The transporter circuit is a lot like Cyberspace. Just be careful in there Zero.
Find a way to disable that protection program.

Cerveau: Hey Zero! It looks like you've managed to disable the protection surrounding the Teleporter Base. Now all that's left is the protection program blocking access to Ragnarok.
It's said that the inside of the circuit is like Cyberspace, but the big difference is that Elves won't automatically activate in the circuit.

Alouette: Hey Zero... Why does Weil keep doing bad things? He used Crea and Prea too! I hope he gets what's coming to him!
Speaking of them, do you think Crea and Prea are getting along with the Mother Elf? I hope so!

Hirondelle: Zero! You're going to enter Ragnarok from the Teleporter Circuit? That's nothing I've ever experienced, so I can't tell you much about it...
Tell me what it's like inside the circuit when you get back.

Soldier: Zero... Can you really use the Teleporter Base to reach Ragnarok? I was surprised to learn that Neo Arcadia made such remarkable advances in technology.
I'm sorry that you're the one that always ends up having to risk your life for us...

Opeartor: Using the Teleporter Base, we can transfer you to Ragnarok, but you'll have to disable the protection around Ragnarok on your own.
Zero: How do I do that?
Ciel: I can help there. Whenever we transfer you somewhere, we transform you into a program data and send you over a circuit. I can modify the transfer program to allow you to move freely inside of the circuit.
Operator: It superimposes visuals on the circuit so you can tell what's going on.... That way you can navigate from the Teleporter Base to Ragnarok via something akin to Cyberspace. If you head towards the end of the circuit, you should be able to directly disable the protection program. With that out of the way, you should be able to finish transferring over.
Ciel: Zero... Come back to us...

Zero: So this is the inside of the Teleporter Circuit? It looks a lot like Cyberspace.
Operator: Zero! Come in! The circuit leads to Ragnarok. It looks like the enemy is there too. Destroy the protection program up ahead.

Zero: This is the protection program?
???: Beep.... Beep.... Circuit intrusion detected... Protection activated.... Eliminating intruder...

Operator: Protection has been disabled... You can head to Ragnarok any time now! Zero, hurry back.

Ciel: If we don't stop Ragnarok, Area Zero is done for... And the last of nature goes with it. You can't fail... The world is counting on you. And... Make sure you come back, okay?

Ciel: Zero, keep it up... You're just one step away from saving everyone.
Zero... Stay safe....

Cerveau: Hey Zero! Good job taking out that protection program.
Zero, the time has come. .... I'm so sorry that all I can do is help you with new weapons and chips. I feel terrible leaving all the fighting to you.

Alouette: Hey Zero... When you and Ciel have free time, we should all go and check out Area Zero together. Let's promise!
Zero, don't forget our promise!

Hirondelle: Zero... It's time.... You're the only one that can protect this world of ours from the power of Ragnarok... Take care of yourself!
Zero.... Play it safe and come back to us!

Soldier: Zero... I knwo it won't be easy, but watch it out there....
I'll be waiting here for your safe return!

Ciel: It's finally time for Ragnarok.
Operator: I'll transfer you inside. Try to find a way to disable Ragnarok's core without destroying it. If the core is destroyed, Ragnarok may break apart.
Ciel: With both Weil and Craft gone, who could still be running Ragnarok? Zero, I have a bad feeling about this. Just be careful, okay?
Zero: Alright....
Ciel: Zerooo!
Ciel: Zero! This isn't good! Ragnarok is speeding up! If you can halt the core now, you might still be able to stop it! Hurry!

Fenri Lunaedge: Yo! Looks like our favorite hero is in a hurry! Don't be in such a rush, stay with me and watch the end of the world unfold!
Hehe.... You're really tough when you put your mind to it... Your little victory won't stop Ragnarok... I'll be waiting to fight you again on the other side.... Grr!

Noble Mandrago: Ragnarok is the seed of destruction which will ripen and fall from space carrying with it the end of this world. It's perfectly natural. Everything on this earth was born doomed!
Nooo! Impossible! I won't be able to withness the descent of Ragnarok.... I will try to enjoy this final glimpse of the world before it ends...

Pegasolta Eclair: The satellites falling from the sky are like the Maverick Wars all over again... It really is Ragnarok, the end of the world! You stand on the threshold of your annihilation!
W-why!? Why struggle when you know Ragnarok will bring about your destruction!? Graaagh!

Sol Titanion: Kyahaha! Are you in a rush!? It doesn't matter, it's already way too late! You've got a date with some fire! Kyahahaha!
How can you be so calm? The world is ending! You should be more worried! And sweating all over! You'll be blown away by Ragnarok! Kyahaha.... haha!

Popla Cocapetri: Left like this, we're both going to meet our ends by slamming into the ground below. I'd hate to let the ground get to you first when I could have the pleasure of crushing you myself! Kyakya!
H-how could this be happening!? Why did I have to taste defeat at the hands of someone like you!? Unbelievable! Simply unbelievable!

Tech Kraken: It looks like even death is too good for me... Death is the defining moment for a warrior. I will not lose to you! Zero! If you want to stop Ragnarok, you have to stop me! If you can't beat me, how can you protect the world!? Show me the power that was able to defeat Phantom!
Gragh! There, that's it! G-go... There's no need to see my pathetic death... Go Zero!

Heat Genblem: Intruder sighted... You defeated Commander Craft... You!? I will rid this world of your presence!
What did Craft entrust to you? the future of the foolish human race? C-Commander!

Mino Magnus: Rrroar! This time... I will.... crush you! With... you gone... Ragnarok will.... destroy.... the world. And Area Zero... will be.... too.... Then...
Zero: Sorry, I don't have time for this. Get out of my way.
Mino Magnus: Rrroar!
It's... too late.... Even with me gone.... Ragnarok will.... still cover... the land... You... and everyone else will be.... crushed! Rrroar!

Zero: So this is the Ragnarok Core...
???: Hehehe.... Welcome to your front seat for the end of the world!
Zero: That voice... Dr. Weil! How did you survive that attack from Ragnarok!?
Weil: Survive? That's easy... Because I can't die!
Zero: What happened to you!?
Weil: Hehehe.... Did my mechanical body suprise you? Did you think that I was a Reploid and you could fight me? I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I'm pure human... Even with a body that looks like this!
Zero: How!?
Weil: When the Dark Elf took control of the Reploids and destroyed the Mavericks in the Elf Wars... The humans of the time modified me... They transferred all of my memories to program data.... And switched my body for this armor with the power to rejuvenate me... Do you have any idea what that means? I can't age, and wounds heal more quickly than normal. After the war, I was cursed to live an eternity in a world without light or nature... The humans expelled me from Neo Arcadia!
Zero: !
Weil: Justice!? Freedom!? Worthless ideals! You Reploids are just machines, but you started a war a long time ago in the name of freedom! And humans! Look what they did to me! Driving me away while spouting the word "justice!" Zero, would you insist on saving them!? Controlling the Reploids is nothing! The destruction of all mankind is only fleeting! Not quite alive... Not quite dead.... Forever, by my side! I'll make you suffer a fate far greater than anything ever experienced before!

Weil: Bwahahaha! I'll teach you there is no place for fools to hide! Fools must live under my rule and my rule alone! Thanks to Ragnarok!

Zero: Agh! I can't stop the descent!
Ciel: Zero! Reaching critical speed! If it goes any faster, I won't be able to get you back! Hurry!
Weil: No... This isn't over yet!
Zero: Weil!
Weil: Hehehe... Bwahahaha! I told you... I can't die! Nobody can stop Ragnarok now!
Ciel: Z-Zero! There's no time! Get back here!
Zero: No, there is a way. If I destroy Weil's core, the explosion will take Ragnarok out with it... If Ragnarok is blown apart, it no longer poses a threat!
Ciel: But what about you?
Weil: Bwahahaha! Are you even capable of it!? The Reploid hero.... Protecting justice and humanity! I am one of those humans you were sworn to protect! Do you have it in you to defeat me!?
Zero: I never cared about justice, and I don't recall ever calling myself a hero... I have always only fought for the people I believe in. I won't hesistate... If an enemy appears in front of me, I will destroy it!
Ciel: Zero! Zero!
Zero: Ciel... Believe in me!
Ciel: Zerooo!!!

Operator: Ragnarok.... is... breaking apart... Ragnarok has entered the atmosphere. Most of it will burn up on entry... Impact with Area Zero has been averted. Mission.... successful....
Ciel: Zero! Come in Zero! Zero... please.... Come in...
Operator: There's no response from the receiver... The connection has been lost...
Ciel: .....
Operator: Ciel!

Settlement youth: Oh! A shooting star! Wow, look! A lot of shooting stars!
Soldier: No, those are pieces of Ragnarok... Does this mean.... we're saved?
Neige: Craft... Zero....
Cerveau: .... Did you... reach Zero?
Ciel: ...
Cerveau: ... Zero, why...
Colbor: How could this happen... After saving all of us... And just when humans and Reploids were finally coming together... Waht do we do now?
Soldier: ....
Neige: ...
Ciel: It's okay... I'm sure Zero is... still out there.... And one day he'll come back to us!
Neige: Ciel...

Ciel: Zero... You believed in us... Now it's our turn to show you that your faith in us was not misplaced... Watch Zero... I'll make this world a better place... One where humans and Reploids can walk hand in hand, living in peace... Just come back someday... I.... I believe in you!
