*Huff* *huff* *huff*

......

Grh...

Taaaaake this!!!

Argh... *Ratatat-tat*

Functional...damage...

...exceeded...limit...

Systems taken...considerable damage...

Melchio...forced...shut...down...

Make sure he's done for real this time!

......

Melchio's system termination confirmed.

Michele, mission accomplished.

We...did it?

Phew. It looks like we managed to defeat him somehow.

I finally...did it...

...we did it.

You guys! We beat Melchio!

He he. Looks that way, Michele.

Hah! Piece of cake!

Yeah right! You can barely even move right now.

Whatever! It's not like anyone else is doing any better!

That would be because I joined the battle before you did. This was to be expected.

What's that supposed to mean?!

He he. You two seem well enough to me.

But I'm afraid I can't move much either.

Well, we did just have the fight of our lives. I'm sure everyone's super tired.

I mean, even I can't--

......

Eeeek!

*Whiiiiirrrrrrr*

Crabby! What's going on?!

Melchio's systems have restarted.

He...came back to life?!

Final mode initializing.

I...unforgivable...world...

This...can't be good.

Safety mode off. Aborting emergency defensive measures.

I...destroy...everything...

Argh!

We thought we had stopped him, but now he has gone completely berserk!

What in the gods' name is happening?!

Strong energy readings coming from Melchio.

Conclusion: Melchio's systems 100% haywire.

Haywire?

Affirmative.

By putting down his defenses, Melchio is using all his functions to collect massive amounts of energy.

He plans to use that energy to destroy this world.

Then, this world is already...

The probability of this world suffering the fate of my world of origin is quite high.

That's so messed up...

If that's the case, then we have to tear him into pieces!

But we're in no condition to fight...!

So we should just sit here and watch that hunk of metal destroy our world...?

We have to stop Melchio, even if that means putting our lives on the line.

Zelban will not go down without a fight.

Show off! Trying to sound cool in front of everyone else.

I'm the one who's gonna beat Melchio, because that's what I set out to do.

I-I can still fight!

Urgh... It's only a scratch... I won't give up yet!

......

......

Hey Crabby, isn't there any other way we can get rid of him?

......

There is...one last alternative.

I knew it! Spill the beans already!

These guys are acting all tough and whatever, but they can hardly move! Even I'm struggling to get up!

Aren't you in pretty bad shape too?

Darn it all... He just keeps getting crazier and crazier...

Crabby! Hurry up and tell us already!

......

The only course of action left to stop Melchio...

...is to activate Code 666.

Code 666? What's that?

Everyone please, distance yourselves from the vicinity.

Crabby...what are you planning to do?

......

There is no time.

Everyone, please take Michele with you, and evacuate the premises.

Wait...you're not gonna do something stupid, are you?!

No! I won't let you do it!!

This is our last resort.

And I said I won't let you do it!

Aren't you supposed to listen to your master?!

My primary mission is to stop Melchio.

However, I must also protect my master...

Mr. Crabby...

Please seek refuge in a safe location far from here.

Leave Melchio to me.

But wait! You can't do something that selfish!!

......

Say something!!

......

Final mode initializing.

Switching to auto-mode to activate Code 666.

Accumulating power.

Are you... Are you ignoring me?

Urgh, such unbelievable power... And it only keeps growing...

Michele! Let's go!

We can't stop Crab! And you can't let his sacrifice be for nothing!

Shut up!

I... I'm not gonna give up! Ever!

M-Michele...?!

Crabby!

If you're just gonna ignore me and do whatever you want...

...then I'll do whatever I want too!!

You want me to run away?! Fat chance!!

I won't let you blow yourself up!

You gotta consider his feelings too though!

This ain't the time to be acting like a spoiled brat!!

Spoiled brat?!

Yeah, maybe I am a spoiled brat.

But that's what's gotten me this far...

...so I'm just gonna stay that way!

Because that's who I am!

But what will you do?

Those two are--

I'll just knock them out, duh!

Knock them out...?

That ain't gonna stop them...

Why do you keep spewing all that nonsense?!

Just shut up and watch from here then!

Energy accumulated at 10%...

Prepare yourselves, you two!

Because I'm gonna stop you, no matter what!
