Gran and the others make a break for the Grandcypher to meet up with the rest of the crew. Their goal is to stop the crisis foretold by Adam.

Gran and company are running through the imperial capital to get back to the Grandcypher.

But the sheer number of imperial troops meet them every step of the way.

Aww, c'mon! Why are there imperial soldiers blocking every path we take?

Eugen

It's their headquarters after all. These guys are on a different level from the ones we faced before.

Rosetta

It's not just their numbers. It looks like these are the military elite. We mustn't let our guard down.

Vyrn

So much for infiltration, but at least we got something out of it!

Lyria

Yes! We have to stop the crisis Adam told us about!

Lyria

We'll definitely be able to do something if we're all together! Let's hurry, Gran!

Imperial soldiers form a blockade around the crew, but Gran is determined to break through.

Imperial Soldier

There they are! Over there! Block the path! Trap them in!

Vyrn

Argh! There's so many of 'em! It's like they're oozing outta the ground or something...

Eugen

Doesn't matter what kinda roadblocks they set up, it ain't gonna stop us.

Eugen

If there ain't any holes, then we'll just have to make 'em! Break through the barricade!

Gran and company take a detour in order to avoid a direct fight with Major General Furias.

Gran and company continue their fight through Agastia when they hear a familiar voice.

Furias

Well, well, well! Have you all finally lost your marbles?

Furias

Who'd be stupid enough to willingly jump into the lion's den? No, really, I'm curious. What the hell were you thinking?

Wh-why him of all people at a time like this?

Rosetta

It's not that surprising he'd be stationed in the capital, you know. And it's certainly not a good thing.

Eugen

This ain't like that time in Zinkenstill. No sense in fightin' if we don't have to.

Lyria

That's right. What's more important is to meet up with Katalina and the others...

Vyrn

It's a bit of a detour, but we should try to stay out of sticky spots as much as we can, Gran!

Furias's pursuit intensifies, but Gran is able to avoid a head-on assault for now.

Furias

Bwahaha! Isn't this fun? Come on now, you can run faster than that!

Furias

The more desperate the prey, the more entertaining the hunt becomes.

Furias

But either way, it all ends with a grand finale. Heeheehee... Show me how fast your legs can move!

I can't stand it! That guy really gets on my nerves!

Eugen

We need to get as far away from him as possible.

Eugen

That dark essence stuff practically makes him invincible. It'd be hell tryin' to take him on with just us.

Grrr...

You better remember this! We're gonna come back with everyone and beat you to a pulp!

Eugen

All right! Let's take care of the enemies in front of us and get outta this place!

Things are going smoothly for Gran and company as they take out imperial soldiers until Lieutenant General Gandharva blocks their way.

As Gran's group fight their way onward, the number of imperial soldiers gradually thins out.

However, their respite is brief—a monstrous shadow moves to block their path.

Gandharva

Yo... It's been a while. Been taking good care of yourselves, yeah?

Eugen

Great, just great... Another higher-up of the Erste Empire comes out to welcome us.

Gandharva

Hah hah hah! Actually I was called in on business and just happened to be around!

Gandharva

But what a great chance this is. Care to play a little?

Rosetta

Unfortunately we have no time for games and must be on our way.

Gandharva

You can't possibly be thinking of leaving so soon after leaping into the arms of your enemy.

Gandharva

I'm not interested in the army's business. Just let me have a little fun!

Vyrn

Darn it! Don't tell me we gotta take another detour!

Lyria

Oh no... It doesn't look like we're getting any closer to the Grandcypher...

Eugen

No point standin' here complainin'! Let's get a move on, Gran!

Gandharva realizes that Lecia is not present and loses interest in the pursuit. Gran and the others use this chance to get away.

Gandharva

Oh! By the way, where's the girl? I heard she'd joined your crew.

Lyria

If you mean Lecia, she's not with us right now.

Gandharva

Huh? What a letdown...

Gandharva

Ah, whatever...
Hey. I'll let you guys decide what to do.

Imperial Soldier

Lieutenant General? If we don't take this seriously again, the prime minister will...

Gandharva

So what? Gran's the only one that seems worth fighting anyway...

H-he's not even hiding the fact he's lost interest...

Rosetta

That's quite rude of him. Is Lecia of that much interest to him?

Eugen

Better than being chased by him when he's at full tilt, right?

Eugen

Ain't no problem if it's just those soldiers to contend with. Let's break through!

Gran's team is running out of places to run, but they know they can't stop until they reach the Grandcypher.

Gran and company continue to elude the units of Furias and Gandharva as they make their way to the Grandcypher.

But the unexpectedly well-coordinated enemies gradually hem them in.

Vyrn

This isn't good... They're cutting off our escape routes bit by bit!

Rosetta

It sure looks that way... Those two generals make a surprisingly good team.

Oh, come on! Bad guys showing off their teamwork sucks for us!

Imperial Soldier

Surrender at once! Don't cause us anymore trouble!

Eugen

I know we're gettin' cornered, but I ain't gonna get stopped here.

Lyria

It looks like all we can do is keep pushing forward.

Eugen

Yeah, but we're closin' in on the end. Keep your head up, Gran!

As the troops of Gandharva and Furias descend on Gran's team, a fully-armored Black Knight arrives followed by the left behind crew members. With their numbers bolstered, the skyfarers face off against the imperial soldiers.

Gandharva

Come on, stop running. You know you've got nowhere left to go.

Furias

You've given us quite the run around. Has it given you time to prepare for the consequences?

Vyrn

Argh! They're comin' from every direction! This isn't gonna end well!

Lyria

Wh-what should we do, Gran?

Humph! If there's nowhere to run, we'll just have to fight! I'm not gonna lose like this!

Rosetta

That's easy to say, but we're a little outnumbered here. What won't be easy is breaking out.

Eugen

This just keeps gettin' more and more desperate.

Furias

Only desperate? You say that like you still have a way out.

Furias

Idiot! You think you've got a chance when you're surrounded by this many troops?

???

This many? Surely you mean this few?

Furias

Huh? You! What did you say—

Furias

Wait, you're still alive?

Lyria

Gasp!

???

Still? You seem to think there exists a situation in which I could roll over and die.

???

It would take a miracle for someone of your stature to finish me off. A miracle that won't fall in your lap.

Furias

Damn you! You always knew how to piss me off, Miss Chief Advisor!

???

Ex-Chief Advisor. Does your memory fail you, Furias?

Lyria

Black Knight! You're okay!

Black Knight

Humph... What are you all so worried about? Do I really look like I would fall so easily?

Rosetta

Heehee... You haven't changed a bit, except you do seem more spirited than usual.

Black Knight

Yes. This is much better than being half-dressed.

Gandharva

You're kidding me. Now the Black Knight's shown up too.

Gandharva

This won't do. Get away from me. I'll take her—

Katalina

I see. Then we'll take the liberty of breaking through from this side.

Gandharva

Ugh! You people... Where did you spring out from?

Rackam

We had a little help from someone. And, er, what do you call it... A hidden port or something.

Lecia

Gran! Over here! The airship's all ready to depart!

Eugen

Sheesh... Took your sweet time...

Vyrn

Heh heh! Well, looks like the gang's back together again!

Gandharva

Tch. Like I'd let you get away...

Gandharva

Furias! These are my prey! Don't get in my way, you hear?

Furias

Huh? What's that, you say? I'm sorry, but I don't understand you!

Furias

Or what? Should I torture to death an old fart like you instead of them?

Gandharva

Hah! Let's make it first come first serve then! Sounds fair to me!

Furias

Hey! Damn you...

Vyrn

Pfft! Even against both of 'em, I ain't scared!

Lyria

Yes! That's because unlike before, we're all here now!

Lyria

Let's go, Gran! Together we can do it!

The Grandcypher is finally able to leave Agastia with the crew reunited. They can now begin to think of a way to deal with the looming crisis.

Now back at full strength, the crew breaks through Furias and Gandharva's blockade.

Running straight across Agastia soil, they then board the Grandcypher.

Rackam

All right, hold on! We're zooming outta Agastia!

S-so where are we going now?

Black Knight

Don't worry about the destination. Let's put some distance between us and Agastia first.

Black Knight

Or else we'll be surrounded by Erste battleships.

Lecia

That's right... We should focus on concealing our whereabouts for the time being!

The Grandcypher speeds away from Agastia like a rocket.

Everyone aboard is now aware of the impending crisis. They will need some time to formulate a plan.
