==Briefing==
Kirin: All that's left is the inner palace...!
GV: Kirin! We must stop Zed!
Kirin: Right! Let's go, GV!
Lumen: [I can't help but feel a little jealous...]
Shiron: Hee hee.
==Mission==
Shiron: I'm detecting two powerful signals... No, three...? GV! Kirin! Please...care...!
Kirin: Shiron...?!
GV: They're jamming our comms!
[Kirin and GV encounter ZedΩ and Layla]
ZedΩ: Welcome. How do you like our Sunrise Palace?
Layla: Mm!
So that's her... The "Djinn's" Adept—
Kirin: You seem awfully calm. What do you hope to achieve after going to all this trouble?
ZedΩ: You came at the right time. We just finished bringing "him" over from the Futures Institute of Technology.
GV: The Futures Institute of Technology? That's where I was sealed away...
ZedΩ: Indeed. The path was opened thanks to my associates removing the Binding Brands. You seem to be under the impression that Gunvolt is the ruler of the Primal Dragons... However, Gunvolt was not the only one who was sealed away in that facility. There was a secret room hidden by a powerful barrier. We needed to remove the Binding Brands in order to break that seal. You all really should have been more suspicious of Sumeragi.
Kirin: You're saying that someone else is the true ruler...?
ZedΩ: Precisely... He's on the top floor, right above here. It's only polite that I take you to meet him. Layla, wait here a moment. I'll be right back.
Layla: ......Mm. *nod*
[Top floor]
Kirin: What the-...?!
Is that...a Dragon baby? It's surrounded by Glaives and seems like it's sleeping soundly.
ZedΩ: This little one is "Moebius." ...The true ruler of the Primal Dragons.
GV: The "true" ruler...?
ZedΩ: Unlike you, who awakened to your power, this one was born a Primal Dragon— No, something beyond Primal Dragons and Septimas. he has attained an "Octima." He is truly the Child of Hope for us Adepts.
GV: An "Octima"...? Ugh...what's going on? What is this energy...? Is it Dragon Radiation? No, it's even stronger...
ZedΩ: Fascinating... As the original Primal Dragon, it appears that you are attuned to him.
GV: Damn... Arrgghh...!
!!! A wave of images...is surging into my mind...
GV: Wha—?!
—What am I seeing here...?! I destroyed... Everyone... The entire world...
GV: ...! W-what...*gasp* was that...?!
Kirin: GV! Are you okay...?!
A multitude of possible futures... Everything was completely destroyed... Destroyed...by my hand...!
ZedΩ: Your Primal Dragon minds are resonating... It appears you received a "vision."
GV: ...!
ZedΩ: Moebius's "Astral Order" ability allows him to see innumerable fates and choose one of his liking. In other words, he has the power to determine the future. For now, the Glaives are keeping his power sealed away, but it allows him to manipulate probability to bend fate towards any possible future. This impacts every square inch of our world. Should this little one wish for a fate of chaos and disorder, just what would become of this world...? And should he suddenly awaken as a Primal Dragon, Dragon Radiation would be released across the world, transforming countless Adepts into Primal Dragons...
Kirin: ...!
ZedΩ: In either case, the world would be on the path to total destruction. His power could never be entrusted to Sumeragi... Which is why we will take control of him before he awakens. That is ATEMS's goal. Recently...we were able to confirm that Layla's Djinn is able to influence Moebius in his sleeping state and control his Astral Order. Even with Moebius under our control, we won't be able to prevent Primal Dragons from awakening en masse. However... We will be able to guide this little one into using his Astral Order to create a more ideal world, even if only slightly.
[A picture of Joule connected to Sumeragi's machine flashes in GV's mind]
GV: Your words are no different than Sumeragi's old rants! We'll never let you use Moebius to bend the world to your will!
ZedΩ: Don't you dare compare us to you lot. We merely wish to work with Moebius to guide the world along its proper path.
Kirin: ...I hear what you're saying, but in the end your "ideal world" is one with you as its ruler. You can make it sound as noble and righteous as you want, but the future of the entire world should not be determined by one man's ego. Even if you make an "ideal" world with Moebius, it won't be a world where anyone but you gets a say in those ideals!
ZedΩ: I take it you won't be cooperating, then? I honestly never expected you to truly understand our mission.
[ZedΩ flies into the air]
ZedΩ: You will understand once you bask in the light of our glorious future. After all, it is a king's duty to enlighten his subjects! You're welcome to try and stop me if you wish. Besides...you're the ones responsible for defending this nation, are you not? Come then, let us battle. ...The future hangs in the balance!
[STRIKE]
ZedΩ: Should Moebius awaken as he is now, Adepts all over the world will transform into Primal Dragons — no matter what happens to you, Gunvolt. His awakening cannot be avoided. Therefore, is it not our duty to ensure that the future takes the best possible path?
GV: I know you have no reason to trust Sumeragi... That's why we'll change it from the inside!
ZedΩ: Such a leisurely pace... The world is on the precipice of destruction! I know your past, Gunvolt. You once chose a single girl over the fate of the world, putting this country in danger. I thought you of all people would understand my position.
GV: ...Yeah, I still worry about the decisions I made back then. I still wonder if I could have found a better solution!
The world doesn't revolve on ideals alone. I understand that now. I can't completely refute Zed's methods, but even then...!
Kirin: It doesn't matter how long it takes to reach the right answer! That's exactly what my Radiant Fetters is for! My Septima isn't one that creates solutions...but it can buy time better than any other! Whether it's an "Octima" or a mighty ruler, I'll show you that my Fetters can put them on ice for decades to come!
ZedΩ: ...That's quite a big claim. But even in that case, the world still rests upon the shoulders of a single person. The result is the same.
Kirin: I'm just the one sealing him away and buying the time we need to get a better result! We need everyone working together for the future!
ZedΩ: ...
GV: Zed, the power of Moebius has entranced you, trapping you in the possible "world" right before your eyes!
Kirin: When countless people work together, their knowledge and efforts, setbacks and failures, and even the tiny things no one notices...together they can accomplish anything!
GV: Even if it's for a better world... The threads of history cannot be spun by a single man. Look past the magic in front of you, and believe in the hope people create themselves!
ZedΩ: ...I give up. You optimists are too much. I have no idea where you find such childish ideas. If you truly believe all that, show me your conviction. We'll determine here and now just whose ideals are the strongest! Illuminate the world, Golden Trillion! Shine your light upon the non-believers!
GV: ...Looks like we have no choice. Kirin, we must stop him.
Kirin: Right. Zed, I'll never accept that suffocating world of yours. We'll seal it away forever with our Radiant Fetters!
[If ZedΩ wins]
ZedΩ: Your sacrifice was not in vain... ATEMS will save the future.
[ZedΩ is defeated, revived by Djinn's Wish, and defeated again]
== Post-Mission Event ==
ZedΩ: ...Is this...really it...?!
Kirin: Zed... Your ideals are too extreme. Since you've only seen our country from the outside, you all may not realize this, but... Sumeragi is more than just it's bad parts. They've supported this country for hundreds of years. When something goes wrong, if we work together, talk it out, and really think it through, we can find a solution. Sometimes they make mistakes, and there have been plenty of failures, but we have always been able to get through them in the end. With enough time, I'm sure we can even do something about Moebius!
GV: ...Well, it was pretty bad that they kept Moebius a secret, even from Shadow Yakumo.
Kirin: True... But part of that was a failure on our side to properly supervise them. I'm gonna rip the top brass a new one when I get back. For now, I have to do something about Moebius. We can talk it out with you guys later, okay? It's never too late to talk, even after a fight!
ZedΩ: ...!
GV: Gaaaaahh!! Not again...!!
Kirin: Huh...?! This is even more power than when GV awakened...?! Oh crap! The Glaives can't handle this much...!
[The Glaives surrounding Moebius shatter]
ZedΩ: What's happening...? No, it can't be...! Our battle... The power of our Septimas clashing was enough to awaken Moebius... Was that the trigger...?!
