==Pre-Mission Event==
ZedΩ: Together with the first Azure Spirit, we've now collected 9 in total.
Sistina: The research team has informed us that we should now have enough.
ZedΩ: We retrieved the samples largely without incident. Well done, my Knights!
Prado: Hmph...it was a trivial challenge!
Grazie: That sounds awfully familiar...
ZedΩ: ...However, there is another location with more samples I would like to procure. That location is...
Kirin: Well, well... You were right under our nose this whole time, huh. I never would have thought you'd be out in the open like this, operating out of Sumeragi. You're putting up the pretense of working together with Sumeragi, so mind if I ask what you're all trying to accomplish here?
Serpentine: ...Prince ZedΩ, was this part of your plan?
ZedΩ: Of course. I'm counting on her help from here.
Kirin: O-oh...?
Kirin: I get what you're saying, but... You really don't trust Sumeragi, do you?
ZedΩ: Sumeragi's Septima research team? ...No, I don't. But you and the organization as a whole are another matter. You understand better than anyone that Sumeragi is not a monolith.
Kirin: If you had just said something to me, I could have had Shadow Yakumo stand in as a mediator, you know?
ZedΩ: That would have gotten the job done, yes... But having you in the middle wouldn't have been to Sumeragi's benefit. It was important that everything was done officially... All our preparation was for that.
Kirin: Hrmph... Well, you do have a point there... (...Sumeragi conceals their Septima research as a matter of fact. Some of their Moebius information is finally public, but history could always repeat itself. ATEMS has been working to make sure their work remains open to the outside world, and is using the Azure Spirit research do it.)* ...Well, I finally see what you're after. Now... What is it you want from me?
ZedΩ: Deep beneath the Sumeragi Futures Institute of Technology, we have detected multiple Azure Spirit signals. We want the Dragon Saviors to get permission to enter there.
Kirin: The Dragon Saviors... ...So you're saying you gathered your share already, and now it's Sumeragi's turn.
ZedΩ: Precisely. Do this for us, and Sumeragi and ATEMS will be even.
Kirin: Azure Spirits... Remnants of Gunvolt... All right. We'll go along with your plan. But only if it's just the two of us going in. Getting permission for any more than that would be a pain.
Sistina: What...?!
Layla: ...Hmph.
ZedΩ: ...Kirin, could I at least bring Layla along? That area is dense with electromagnetic waves. It would be reassuring to have the Djinn scout for us.
Kirin: I gueeess one more person would be okay... Alright, I'll see what I can do.
==Briefing (First Mission)==
ZedΩ: The Sumeragi Futures Institute of Technology... Both Gunvolt and Moebius were sealed away there.
Kirin: ...Let's make this quick! I've still got tons of work piled up when I get back.
==First Mission==
Kirin: ...
ZedΩ: That's quite a dour look on your face. Even for you.
Kirin: What're you trying to get at with a remark like that? I've just got some memories of this place, is all.
ZedΩ: Oh...? Well, just don't let it affect the mission!
Kirin: You don't have to tell me that!
Kirin: The card lock is malfunctioning... Things just got a lot more annoying.
ZedΩ: Could it have been caused by the electromagnetic waves? Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of waiting around.
Kirin: You go on ahead and secure the area. I'll be right along with the little one.
Layla: Mm. *nod*
ZedΩ: Roger that. Take good care of Layla for me!
Kirin: ...This trap never stops rubbing me the wrong way.
ZedΩ: I saw plenty of those in the temple... Are they not a normal sight in this country?
Kirin: What?! No way!
Luxia: Hmmm...?
ZedΩ: Luxia...? What's the matter?
Luxia: There might be a drift here... We shouldn't hang around too long.
Kirin: A drift...?
ZedΩ: Surely Sumeragi wouldn't conceal further secrets down here after all the trouble with Gunvolt and Moebius...
Kirin: I want to believe that, I really do...
Kirin: (The Sumeragi Futures Institute of Technology... A lot has happened since I met GV here. I never thought I would come back...)
Kirin: Is the Hexapyle...this way?
Layla: Mm. *nod*
ZedΩ: There could be a snake lying in wait... We'll have to find out ourselves.
----Kirin: Th-that's not...?! GV...?!
Dragon GV: Grrrrraaaaaa!!!
Layla: Hrmmm....
ZedΩ: ...I see what's going on here. This is merely his empty husk. It's an imitation created by the Azure Spirits.
Kirin: An imitation...? You mean it's an Image Pulse that's taken on GV's form? That's a cruel joke...!
ZedΩ: Leave this to me. You need to get Layla to safety
Kirin: Zed... Will you be okay by yourself?
ZedΩ: ...Even if it's just a copy, are you sure you're up to fighting against him?
Kirin: Ugghh... ...Understood. I'll leave this to you.
ZedΩ: Allow me to take the reins!
[STRIKE]
ZedΩ: To think this power can manifest by itself without its owner. Azure Striker, you are truly stubborn! You've also got terrible manners, showing up like that in front of your former partner!
Kirin: ...That's not really Gunvolt, he won't understand what you're saying!
Dragon GV: Grrrrraaaaaa!!!
Kirin: ...!
ZedΩ: Haha, I seem to have hurt his feelings anyway!
Azure Striker, your true value is your precise control, from the tiniest pulse to your full destructive output.
ZedΩ: ...When your power just rampages without any of that versatility, it's really no threat at all! Circumstances be as they are... As the current most powerful Adept, allow me to perform your last rites! Illuminate the world! Golden Trillion!! Put the spirit of this savage god of thunder to rest!
[Dragon GV is defeated and vanishes]
==Post-Mission Event (First Mission)==
ZedΩ: At last, we can return to our mission of collecting the Azure Spirits.
Kirin: Thank you, Zed...for fighting in my place.
ZedΩ: Haha, don't mention it!
Layla: Mm!
ZedΩ: Now... We've acquired more than we had anticipated. It may be difficult to bring them all back ourselves.
Kirin: I can get a recovery team out here to pick them up. I'll put in the call now.
ZedΩ: ...Hm? A call?
Sistina: Prince ZedΩ! Prince ZedΩ! We have a situation!
ZedΩ: What's gotten into you, Sistina? Take a deep breath.
Sistina: T-the Azure Spirits we've collected...! They've...disappeared!
ZedΩ: What?! How is that possible?!
[The missing Azure Spirits appear and surround Layla]
Layla: Nn!!?
ZedΩ: Layla!
Kirin: Wha—?!
Layla: ...Nn!!
[Screen fades to white]
==Briefing (Second Mission)==
ZedΩ: ...! I had no idea the Azure Spirits were so dangerous!
Kirin: They've even taken control of the little one's Djinn! This is bad news!
ZedΩ: Layla... I'll waste no time saving you!
==Second Mission==
Layla: ...
ZedΩ: No way...! The Azure Spirits have taken over Layla...?!
Kirin: She's synchronizing with the surrounding Spirits...! This power output...is dangerous...!
[Luxia appears and the Azure Spirits are absorbed into her]
ZedΩ: No...! The Djinn is boosting the Azure Spirits...?!
Layla: ...
ZedΩ: ...! I can't believe this...!
Kirin: Hold on...! What are you doing...?!
ZedΩ: ...I'm the one who asked you to watch over Layla. I'm the one who needs to save her! You should prepare for the worst!
Kirin: Prepare for the worst...?! Let me help you!
ZedΩ: I already owe you a debt I can never repay... I'll be the one to fight this time!
[STRIKE]
Kirin: That's not for you to decide at this point! I'm plenty involved in this whole deal!
ZedΩ: ...I understand that. But this is still ATEMS's failure...and I will make up the debt myself!
Kirin: This is already way beyond you or ATEMS...! Why would you refuse to work together at a time like this?!
ZedΩ: You're already well aware of how stubborn I can be!
Kirin: ...! Big talk for someone who's still worn out from the previous fight...!
Layla: ...
ZedΩ: ...My apologies, Layla. This is all the fault of my whims...!
Azure Spirits... I never thought they could have the power to make others go berserk... Based on this and that illusion just now, could they be moving through some conscious will...?
ZedΩ: ...None of that matters right now. Layla...! I will save you!! Illuminate the world! Golden Trillion!! Save my trusted partner from her azure enchantment!
[The Azure Spirits leave Luxia and she disappears. Layla falls to the ground and ZedΩ catches her.]
==Ending==
ZedΩ: Layla!! 
ZedΩ: Layla! Are you okay?
Layla: ...Mm.
ZedΩ: Thank goodness...!
Kirin: I don't see any obvious wounds... You did well saving her. But geez... All the Azure Spirits disappeared.
ZedΩ: ...My sincere apologies. I've done nothing but cause you trouble.
Layla: ... Mm.
Kirin: Huh...? Is this an Azure Spirit...?!
ZedΩ: ...! It hid inside her sleeve!
Kirin: For me...? Are you sure?
ZedΩ: ...It's only right. It's not enough to make up for the trouble I've caused you, but you should have it anyway.
Layla: Mm. *nod*
Kirin: If you say so... Thank you, Zed...!
----
―Several days later.
Kirin: You better actually go home this time. Okay?
ZedΩ: We intend to. I cannot leave my country unattended any longer, regardless.
Kirin: Hmmm... Is that so...?
ZedΩ: You still don't trust me? Well, if you ever need help with some Primal Dragons, feel free to give us a call. I'll leave Sumeragi and that Azure Spirit in your capable hands.
Kirin: You got it. You don't need to worry about Sumeragi, things will be improving very soon... I'm sure of it.
ZedΩ: We've even finalized our technology sharing agreement. It's unfortunate we lost the Azure Spirits, however.
Kirin: When did you manage to tie up that agreement...? You really think of everything.
Sistina: Prince ZedΩ, we must depart soon.
ZedΩ: Yes... I suppose it's time we said farewell.
Kirin: Be seeing you.
Layla: ... See you, Kirin.
Kirin: Huh...?!
Sistina: L-Layla talked...?!
Layla: ...Hmph.
ZedΩ: Haha, things are never dull around here...
