There's quite a lot of damage...

...but none that's particularly critical.

The main reactor...

...and plasma propulsion systems are completely undamaged.

Good.

Resurrect, my Japonesger!

Lead the way to a new dawn for Terra 2!

Evil Ambitions and the Rise of the lron Beast

How is it, Luchs?.

One moment please.

Due to damage to the transmission cable...

...the power supply appears to be cut off.

It's coming up. It's operational.

Unacceptable!

We need to make repairs to the reactor and transmission cables.

I think we can recover power within the hour.

You!

Do it quickly.

Yes, Lord.

Wha...?.!

There you are, Faust!

We're not handing over the Japonesger to you!

I'll destroy it before you take it!

Give us back our Lorelei!

Or else...!

Damn nuisance...

Gettel!

These guys again.

Otaru!

Panther!

Panther! You came!

I'm not here to help you!

Lord Faust!

What has happened to you?.!

Do you intend on repeating our past disasters?.!

How dare you, you traitor!

Panther!

I never thought I'd witness...

... my own evil deeds repeated in front of me.

Lord Faust...

There's two Fausts!

What's going on?.!

Who the hell are you?.!

Gerhard Von Faust.

The one who was Supreme Commander of the former Gartland, my dear clone.

Clone?.!

Clone, huh?.

You're saying that I am your clone?.!

Of all the things to say.

Gettel...

Surely you remember...

...that Hesse created a clone of me to be used as my body double.

How dare you say that!

You're the body double!

Then, tell us...

...what happened after Gartland was defeated...

...up to when Lord Faust set out on his journey.

What?.!

You'd remember if you're the real Faust.

The memory of your time spent with us that Hesse isn't aware of.

There's nothing!

Memory...

Memory... After the defeat...!

Do you remember, Panther?.

The baby's breath at Heaven's Cross.

The flowers have bloomed.

Those flowers that symbolize the bonds between us.

Lord Faust...!

I've been waiting.

I've put you through a lot.

No...

No...

I'm happy for you, Panther.

Why...?.

Why can't I remember?.

What am l...?.!

You can have that, fake commander.

Welcome back, Lord Faust.

Why, you...

You've been plotting all along.

Of course.

The reason why I stayed...

...was to determine if he was the real Lord Faust.

What else is there?.

Who would've thought the real one would show up?.

It's nothing to worry too much about.

With all these moves we're making, he would've heard eventually...

...although he did come forward earlier than we expected.

What should we do...

...about him?.

We don't need him anymore.

But thanks to him, we managed to capture Lorelei in the first place.

We should reward him for that.

Also, until we complete the scan on Lorelei...

...we're going to have to stall for time.

No...!

How could I be the body double?.!

Body double...?.!

Hao, Faust!

It's been a while, Faust.

Sorry for the trouble, Otaru Mamiya.

Don't worry about it.

It's really all his fault, not yours.

That clone represents me.

The one who existed before we met.

There's something coming, Master Otaru!

Huh?.

What the hell was that just now?.!

I see stars...

He's gone! And Gettel too!

They appear to have escaped in an armored vehicle!

So they got away!

Hesse!

What do you think, Commander Body Double?

Damn you...!

Yes. You are indeed not the real Supreme Commander.

Commander Faust was needed in order to revive Gartland.

We used you.

Since we've finished our business here, we'll be departing.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find what I needed in Lorelei's memory.

I leave her completely to your discretion.

Don 't be so upset.

Think of it this way. Everyone on Terra 2 is basically a clone.

Looking at it that way, you actually are Supreme Commander Faust.

That's right. If only the Faust that gave up his former quest...

... to conquer all of Terra 2. were to disappear...

... then you...

That's right, Hesse.

Since he became the coward that he is...

... I will have to take his place.

When he...! When he ceases to exist...

... I will become the true Faust!

Intentionally stalling the repairs...

...when I was with that clone is costing us now.

You did your best.

Anyway, we have to speed up the repairs, and go rescue Lorelei.

Huh?.

Otaru...

Oh, great. What are you doing?.

Give it to me.

The radar's been repaired. It'll have it up.

Mobile fortress approaching!

He's coming!

Just as I'd expect from Faust.

He plans on attacking the Japonesger.

He is me.

The one whose aim was to dominate Terra 2.

I know exactly how he'll play his hand.

All he has left after discovering that he's a clone...

... is the twisted ambition to conquer all of Terra 2.

In order to conquer the world...

...he needs the Japonesger's plasma propulsion system.

How ironic...

...that I have to fight against my past self in this way.

You've got to be kidding!

I'm tired of war!

That's why we have to end it here.

I must break free from my detestable past once and for all.

Faust...

The plasma propulsion system is ready for operation.

All circuits are up!

We can launch!

Faust...

Let's make this...

Let's make this the last fight.

The last fight on Terra 2.

Okay, let's go!

Reactor output, normal!

All systems functioning!

All right!

All right, we're flying!

The plasma propulsion system is pretty damn impressive!

No wonder those guys want it.

There he is.

The Japonesger is hovering!

So they want to resist, huh.

Then I'll just have to oblige them.

But you're...

...confronting Lord Faust...!

Shut up, Gettel!

He doesn't deserve the name of Faust!

The one with the desire to rule Terra 2 is the real Faust!

I am the true Supreme Commander of Gartland...

...Gerhard Von Faust!

You sit and watch.

See the end of a man who lost his soul...

...after falling for that Otaru Mamiya.

Prepare for combat!

The mobile fortress...

...has gone to combat status.

The Japonesger will act as a decoy...

...to keep the enemy focused on us.

You go and rescue Lorelei in the meantime!

Got it!

We'll be sure to find Lorelei and rescue her!

We're within firing range of the mobile fortress!

Faust...

Firing angle and trajectory is set.

Ready to launch.

All right!

Let's go!

Where are they aiming?.

Prepare main cannon!

Otaru!

Don't worry. It missed the cockpit.

Keep your eye on our course.

Major damage to the balancer! Systems 2 and 5 have shut down!

Engage auxiliary flight system!

Go after them! Don't let up the attack!

We just want to recover the plasma propulsion system.

And we don't need two Fausts in this world.

Flying object approaching from behind!

What?.!

Go!

Flying object has struck our beam!

Damage in Area 13!

All right!

The decoy plan worked!

Now! Go!

Yeah!

Outta the way!

Panther!

Thanks!

Just get going!

What on earth...?.

Lorelei! I found you!

Lime!

I'm here to pick you up! Let's go!

Otaru and Faust are waiting!

Faust?.!

Well, uh... what I mean is this other Faust, not the other one...!

I mean, they're both Fausts, but one...

...just looks like Faust but isn't, while the one's like... Oh, dear...

Area 78 destroyed!

The Krieger unit has been decimated!

It appears someone is escaping from the analysis room!

Never mind that!

Attack the Japonesger!

Fire main canon!

There's a danger of energy loss...

...because of the hull damage!

It's risky!

Move!

You're not getting away with this!

Enemy has fired main cannon!

Lord Faust!

Don't worry. I'm okay.

Reactor output is down 300%!

We can't take another hit!

Please! A little longer!

Hold together a little longer, Japonesger!

We saved Lorelei, Otaru!

All right!

Now it's all up to us!

I'll give it back twice over!

I've got you now!

Surrender!

I don 't want to take your life!

Just give it up!

How dare he tell me to surrender.

How dare he...!

Fools!

I'll see you blown to smithereens!

If you fire the main cannon this close to the target, we'll be...

Shut up, Gettel!

I'm not going to lose this!

Damn! We can't move!

Luchs, concentrate all plasma power...

...to the right arm!

Aye. Commencing power up!

Please forgive me, Lord Faust!

Where are you going, Gettel?.!

What do you think?.

To Lord Faust's side!

I can still be forgiven!

You are indeed a fake!

You may look like him, but inside, you're no match to him!

How dare you...!

Farewell.

There's no way that I'll lose!

I am Gerhard Von Faust!

The man who will be the Lord of Terra 2!

We can't take anymore!

We're falling!

Abandon ship!

Otaru! You all right?.!

Look! The Japonesger!

It's all right.

It can never be used for evil again.

It's better that it sleeps.

That could have been me if I'd gone another step further.

If only he hadn't met the wrong people.

It didn't quite work out as planned.

He did pretty well considering he was a body double.

What shall we do now?.

Lorelei does not have what we need in her memory.

Let's see.

You never know where the next plan will spring from.

Are you leaving already?.

Yes. My evil past has been put to rest.

Let's hope that Terra 2 can enjoy a new era of peace.

I am going to quietly think about my role in that new era.

Not just alone...

... but with the four of us.

So, we'll meet again.

Yeah, take care!
