Who is this vision I see floating before my eyes? Dare ga miteiru VISUAL? Me no mae no

Rushing water runs back over my body Kyuu na mizu ga karada wo sakasa ni kakemeguru

Now, the two of us think about... Ima futari wa

the meaning of our having met Deatta imi omou

Even though we must be swimming... Kitto dareka no kioku no naka

Within someone's memories Oyoideiru dakedemo

The wings of light upon your back Kimi no senaka

Spread out towards the sky Hikari no hane ga sora e hirogaru

No matter the place, no matter the past Donna basho mo donna kako sae mo

A single wish... Tadahitotsu no negai ga

Will surpass it all Norikoete yuku yo

Shuddup... Shut up!

I have to get going. Wake up already, Kyo!

'Kay...

The newly discovered level-4 environmental contamination zone...

248, 249, 250... is enlarging far more than expected.

248, 249, 250...

248, 249, 250... With international cooperation, it is hoped that...

248, 249, 250... countermeasures can be enacted quickly.

Countermeasures can be enacted quickly.

This has prompted an emergency assembly of the United Nations...

to organize a special team to preserve the environment.

...and the contaminated area is steadily spreading.

Because of this, the UN has called an emergency assembly-

At last, the day of rebirth is here! YEAH!

Oh, man, I'm late! I'm late!

I have to get going. Wake up already, Koji!

'Morning...

Koji, hurry up and get dressed!

You do this every single day!

I've still got plenty of time.

You're the one who's in trouble!

I was up late doing post-production!

Hey! Don't watch TV!

Turning to other news, I.A.L. Corp announced...

A fine meal.

DEUTERA ZONE

Oh... This is all Kyo's fault!

I was led by Shizuno Misaki, rode in that shining robot...

And then... That passionate kiss from her...

Whoops! Edit master! Edit master!

Kyo would be so angry if I forgot this.

Hm? It's a game.

But I don't have a game console...

What's this?

Cerebrum...

Um... l-I'm Kyo Sogoru, president of the swim club.

Your youth is the big bang that starts your life!

These days of flaming passion will never come again!

Don't you want to try to swim to the ends of the cosmos?!

Come with me! And together, let's swim!

So, everyone who wants to sign up, just write your name and class...

on the form on your desks...

What's with that ending? Lame!

Still, if I can shoot stuff like that, I wouldn't mind joining the video club.

Um, it's the swim club, not the video club.

Hello-o-o!

Wha... Hey, wait a sec! Hey!

If you agree to do P.R. Videos like that for all the other clubs,

we could think about budgeting a video club for next term.

Thank you so much!

Hey! Kaminagi, you cut a secret deal with them, didn't you?!

Of course! Why else do you think I'd do this for free?

You need four people by the end of the term.

If you can't get that many, your club will be shut down.

And hearing that, I wish you the best of luck, Sogoru!

Kurage! Dammit, act like an advisor and object to this!

Everything Miss Minato said is correct.

Wait just a damned minute, Mr. President! You want me to spill the beans?!

"Spill the beans?"

I didn't want to do it this way,

but this is more important than anything else.

Oh, that? That doesn't matter.

We don't mind at all.

However, I expect you to keep your word to Yehl, Kyo Sogoru.

Dammit! Okay, you asked for it! Everyone, look at this!

It's Pain of Zega, right?

What about it?

Huh? You know about it?

Will you fight?

Even when the world suddenly crumbles before your eyes?

The mysterious life forms known as the Gardsorm suddenly attacked.

Due to their environmental modification testing, the world has been changed.

The remaining humans have formed a resistance group: Cerebrum.

This is the true story of what happened 40 years later.

Welcome, to the future of the world.

The future of the world...

It's a famous game. Everyone plays it.

Hm? How do I work it?

If you register your I.D. And password, you can join the on-line battles.

Around here, you can log in via the Maihama server.

Maihama server, huh? Okay!

Sogoru Kyo... Password... Blah-blah-blah-BLAH!

What? Sogoru, you've already got an account on here.

Huh? No way. It's not like I've ever played.

Good shot!

Deutera zone has enlarged greatly.

Its diameter is currently 1800 meters.

What do you think, Lu-shen?

We'll need Zegapain's cooperation in there all the more.

We're against it!

Last time, he was totally reckless in battle!

He'll just make things harder for us and Lu-shen!

The enemy constructed a deutera zone there before, as well.

We fought in there once before.

Are you trying to say that fighting in the same place will jog his memory...

and he'll be able to cooperate as well as before?

I think the commander has already taken that into account.

If I was counting on such an uncertain element,

I wouldn't order you out on the mission, Yehl.

However...

We can't just ignore that thing any longer.

What's this? Not practicing today, either?

The club's doomed for sure.

He's probably too ashamed to show up.

After all the fuss he made about that P.R. Video, he didn't get one person to sign up.

It's always the same story with him.

He charges in alone and just wastes the entire effort.

What's with you?!

Nothing.

Kawaguchi!

Do it, Kyo!

We were the only ones who worked together as a team.

Let's go!

Right...

Yeah! Gotcha! You like that?

Okay, who's next?

What's that?

Kyo! Don't get distracted!

Game over.

Aw, and you'd finally found the deutera zone, too.

Deutera zone?

The environmental testing zones the Gardsorm create.

They explain that in the intro!

Do they?

If they cover the Earth with them, mankind loses.

Still, you did really well finding the deutera zone on your first time out, Kyo!

Now that I think about it, they never told me why I was fighting for them.

Why haven't I thought to question it until now?

Why am I suddenly so good at all this?

What do you think my parents would say if we did it?

They'd be all "We're not letting our daughter...

go haunting around the bad parts of Shibuya!"

And then they'd ask what year I think it is and if I was part of a gang or something!

You have good parents. Mine let me do practically anything.

Oh well, we'll catch a concert some other time, then.

I'm really sorry, but I promise I'll come next time!

Oh, there's Misaki-sempai.

Misaki-sempai!

Hi there. And thank you for doing the swim club video!

I should thank you for making me look so good in it.

So tell us, is it true that you kissed Kyo Sogoru?!

Mizuki, that's rude! Just asking about that!

There's no way it happened, right?

You and him just don't go together!

It felt good.

I enjoyed being filmed. The way you captured me.

Oh. Sure...

You like making movies?

Yes!

This girl's dream is to become a director one day.

Oh, Mizuki, you don't have to tell her all that!

Your dream...

You'll be going on to university, right?

You're a senior, right?

You mean, what's in my future?

Well, we'd better get going.

See you.

Goodbye.

The world is simply "here" and "now."

Oh, yeah!

Mission clear. Return to ship at once.

Look, there's something there!

Huh? What do you mean?

It's an I.D. -specific hidden item.

What's that?

Someone left a message that only shows up under your I.D., Kyo.

From who?

I dunno. You're fighting on-line.

Be careful! Don't get involved with Shizuno Misaki!

I'm home.

Oh, Kyo. You're here.

He doesn't have a game console, so he asked if he could use ours.

He's really good, too!

Kyo?

Huh? O- Oh...

It's nothing.

I want you to come here. - Shizuno

I'm already involved with her.

Right up to my neck...

Huh?

Koji, I'd like to play more some other time.

Sure thing!

See you, Kaminagi.

Huh? Wait! Hold it!

Cerebrants and deuteras...

The Gardsorm and all that other stuff.

And that message to not get involved with Shizuno Misaki.

So much is happening so fast, my head feels like it's going to explode!

Since you managed to clear a level for now,

I want you to go with me, despite my misgivings.

You know everything, don't you?

Do you know about that secret message I got before, too?

What do you mean?

I'm not sure. So, we're going to that other place again, right?

Right.

Why me, though?

Because you're a Cerebrant. The same as us.

A Cerebrant, huh?

Whatever.

Come on in, Shizuno-sempai!

There's no time. I'll indulge you.

Gunner and Wizard I.D. S, locked in.

Stand by for meta-body transmission.

Compensating for materialization probability flux.

Unstable.

Teleporting near the edge of a deutera zone carries a higher risk of transmission failure.

A deutera zone... Like in the game?

That's where we're headed.

Only something with holonic armor can survive inside there.

Got it! Transmission scatter rate, green!

Releasing hangar locks.

Restoration coordinates, set.

Entangle!

That's the deutera zone.

Yeah, I can tell.

Kyo Sogoru, don't slow us down!

If you do, we'll abandon you.

You'll what?! Who the hell are you guys?!

Let's go!

Wha?! Why, you!

Forget them! Try to get as far inside without wasting our QL.

Roger!

This isn't deja vu from the game. I can feel how familiar this is!

It's all right!

Be alert to fluctuations of physical laws within the deutera zone.

The penetrated core's range of effect is presently at a radius of 2.5 kilometers.

Incredible... The penetrated core's range of effect is presently at a radius of 2.5 kilometers.

All right!

You dumb ass!

Persistent, aren't they?!

Lu-shen, above us!

Q.L. Consumption level is critical.

The Altair?!

Hey! Are you trying to get us blown up, too?!

How about thanking me?

I've got a fix on the core's coordinates.

Altair, follow me!

What's with you?!

Irritating, isn't it?

Not knowing what's happening in there...

Quite.

Even so, we're spending a lot of time watching.

Kyo Sogoru's sortie.

Our mission is simple.

Locate the deutera zones and attack them.

With one additional duty.

Salvaging any survivors.

We have no time to be worrying about the possible loss of our comrades, Minato.

He's acting as a shield for us.

That guy...

I can't keep this up for long!

The instant I fall back, shoot the core, Kyo!

Leave it to me!

Do it, Kyo!

We did it!

Good job.

What are you doing?

Okay!

W-Wait a second!

You come down too, Shizuno-sempai!

Kyo, stop this! Come back at once!

Kyo!

This feels familiar...

Is it possible?

Don't go over there!

Uh-oh!

DON'T BELIEVE THE WORLD YOU SEE

What?!

Don't!

Shizuno-sempai...

Come back to the Altair.

All right. But before I do...

Kyo!

Impossible...

Shizuno-sempai... What's going on?

Awaken Me ga samete

The pain of your dream Yume no itami ga

Melts away into the night Yoru ni tokete yuku

The cold sky of the windy city Kaze no machi no tsumetai sora ga

Causes everything to change Subete wo kaete yuku

If time should turn back Toki ga modotara

If time should turn back Toki ga modotara

If time should turn back Toki ga modotara

Kiss me and say goodbye KISS shite GOODBYE

To everything there is Ari to Arayurumono

And in the endless loop of time Meguriyuku toki ni

You'll come back to me again Megurikuru anata ni

On the edges of memory Kioku no fuchi de

On the way to recover the Shanghai server, May-yu spots an enlarging deutera zone.

If something isn't done, both the server and Zegatank...

will be swallowed up by the deutera zone and destroyed.

Hurry, Kyo Sogoru!

This battle which you think is a game...

is for us a battle to save what can never be replaced!

Next time, on Zegapain: "Shanghai Server."

My thoughts, never to be erased.
