Full Metal Man VII: The Last Mission - Ending - Episode 4

While managing to avoid a direct hit from Yngwie's beam, Heinrich's airship slows down just enough for the cruiser to catch up. His plan is foiled in the ensuing explosion, during which Yngwie could sense Socialis's presence—suggesting that Lukav is still alive. In order to search for his "son," Yngwie sets out another adventure with the crew.

---

Overwhelming pain shoots through Yngwie's body as he tries to muster strength.

Yngwie: Gwuh...

Anderson: Yngy!

Yngwie: No worries, Andy...

1. You need to rest up.
2. Don't push yourself.

Choose: You need to rest up.
Choose: Don't push yourself.

Vyrn: Yeah, your body's all banged up!

Yngwie: C'mon now, (Captain). Don't deny me this chance for a last hurrah...

Lyria: Yngwie! But...

Anderson: I hate to say it, but you hardly have any strength left... What you need more than anything now is treatment.

Not just the crew, but even Anderson expresses concern over Yngwie's state.

Erika: I'm rooting for you..

Vyrn: Miss Adjutant!

Yngwie: Erika... You sure about that?

Erika: Considering what they're going to do with Luka anyway, I'd rather...

Erika: Make them pay, Daddy!

Yngwie: Exactly what I needed to hear!

Riling himself up, Yngwie musters his strength once more.

And then...

Yngwie: Au revoir, Lukav...

Yngwie: Full Metal Cannon!

Yngwie launches his beam straight toward Heinrich's ship.

Heinrich: Nwaaagh!

Hit from behind, the airship shakes from the impact.

Heinrich: Rgh... What's the damage?

PMC: W-we'll be okay... We avoided a direct hit! Though we still took considerable damage!

Vyrn: No way... It missed!

Yngwie: Shoot... Can't believe I botched my last hurrah...

PMC: Most of the damage is to the side of the airship... We won't be able to stay in the air for very long...

Heinrich: Okay... We'll just have to crash-land onto a nearby island.

The airship is chugging along when something emerges from the trail of smoke behind it.

President Jerome: Heinrich!

Heinrich: No, not the president!

President Jerome: I'll admit it, Heinrich! I'm a bungling half-wit who never deserved any accolades!

Heinrich: Daaamn yoouuu!

The cruiser catches up to the decelerated airship, plunging straight into it.

Anderson: Mr. Presideeeent!

Erika: Ah... Luka...

Yngwie: ...

The resulting explosion from the collision leads to a rain of debris falling to the depths of the skies.

(Captain) and company take a moment of silence to watch this unfold.

Erika: Goodbye, Luka...

Roanne, preparing for reconstruction, is about to hold an election to decide the next president.

The entire nation is hard at work to reform the government so that Roanne will no longer succumb to pressures laid on by the federation.

Though the land where Rire Village once stood remains a ghost of the past.

Yngwie: There...

Yngwie: Phew... Think this'll do?

Erika: Uh-huh, thanks... How are you holding up?

Yngwie: I'm much better now.

Yngwie plants a large boulder the height of an average person onto the ground, after which Erika uses a tool to etch names onto it—

The names of the hundred who were sent to die during the Nightmare at Rire.

Yngwie: A gravestone, huh...

Erika: I've wanted something like this for a long time, to leave behind proof that these people once lived.

Erika: But it just didn't feel right until now... The government would've destroyed any memorial here the moment they learned of it anyway.

Yngwie: True... Rire Village's forefathers would be proud of you.

Erika: Feel free to head back first, Dad. I've got a hundred people's worth of names to etch after all.

Yngwie: What kind of a father would I be if I left my daughter alone here? I'll wait.

Erika: Haha...

Yngwie: Besides... I'm also here to see Ayaka.

Erika: Oh right. I'm sure she's happy to see you too, Dad.

Yngwie: I'm sorry it took me so long to find my way here. How I wish I'd gotten here sooner...

Erika: ...

Yngwie stands behind Erika, watching his daughter etch names into stone as time slowly passes by.

By the time the sun begins to set, Erika's hand stops just before one final name.

Yngwie: Lukav, eh.

Erika: Yeah... It feels like I'm saying goodbye to him for good if I put his name down here...

Yngwie: Lukav was definitely hero material. He just made some really bad choices...

Yngwie: Then again, I'm sure he thought long and hard about the best approach to strengthening Roanne before taking action.

Yngwie: That's why even after all that's happened, not many people seem to blame him. In fact, I mostly hear support for what he's done.

Erika: ...

Yngwie: Do you resent Lukav?

Erika: Not in the least! I wish he would've been more upfront with me about everything, but no—I could never bring myself to resent him.

Erika: I can't help the fact that some people do detest him...

Erika: Though we can't forget what his father did to the president's son either.

Erika: A most despicable act, if you ask me...

Learning the truth about Lukav's past, tucked away in his study, proved to be a shocking experience for everyone.

Erika: But even worse is the government that wouldn't lift a finger to help Luka's mom!

Yngwie: How about the federation that's taken advantage of Roanne all along?

Erika: They're just as guilty. If only they'd been more fair in their dealings with the Roanne government...

Erika: Hey, Dad? Where would you say this all really began?

Yngwie: Hard to say. I'm not sure it's even possible to trace this whole situation back to the root.

Yngwie: I can tell you one thing though—it's too soon to etch Lukav's name onto that gravestone.

Erika: Huh?

Vyrn's Voice: Guys!

Visiting the vacant land where Rire Village once stood, the crew waves at Erika and Yngwie.

Yngwie: You're here too, Andy?

Anderson: Yngy, I have something to tell you.

Yngwie: Likewise. It's possible we have the same thing in mind.

Lyria: Huh? What might that be?

Yngwie: Let's start with your business first.

Vyrn: We've decided on our day of departure. Thought we'd let you know.

Erika: So you guys are leaving, huh...

Erika: I'm sorry I didn't quite get to show you around. Then again, this island's not exactly great for sightseeing...

Lyria: It's okay... We're happy just to have gotten to know you, Erika!

Vyrn: Heheh! We always did wonder about Yngwie's daughter!

Anderson: Quite the daughter you have, Yngy. Though I never would've guessed.

Yngwie: There wasn't exactly time to explain.

Vyrn: Well then...

Lyria: ...

Vyrn: I guess we'll be sayin' goodbye to you too for now, Yngwie.

Yngwie: Heh...

Lyria: But it's not goodbye for good! We'll come back to visit every now and then!

Vyrn: Yeah! There's still to plenty to resolve in Oarlyegrande, so we might need your help again!

Erika: You can count me in too. Just say the word, and I'll be right there with you!

Lyria: We'll be sure to!

Anderson: ...

Yngwie: ...

Vyrn: Huh? What's with the funny looks, guys?

Anderson: About this shield...

Vyrn: Ah!

Anderson: It was stored in the floating fortress, just like Socialis.

Anderson: As we've all noticed by now, the two seem to be linked in some way.

Lyria: Yeah...

Vyrn: You mentioned that during our fight with Lukav.

Vyrn: Something about the shield bein' extra powerful against Socialis. What about it though?

Anderson: Yes, exactly. Though that was simply speculation on my part.

Anderson: An anti-Socialis weapon... Socialis's creators must have seen the need for a countermeasure against their own unpredictable beast.

Yngwie: A fair assumption. There's something else though...

Yngwie: Seems our shields are also capable of sensing Socialis's presence.

Vyrn: Oh yeah?

Erika: What do you mean? Where's all this coming from?

Yngwie: Hear me out. Think back to when Lukav was taken by Heinrich, only to then be stopped by the president.

Yngwie: We watched the explosion from the floating fortress, but I could still sense Socialis. Same with you, Andy?

Anderson: Yeah... I could tell Socialis was still there. Could feel it through the shield.

Erika: Wait, you mean...

Anderson: Chances are Lukav is still alive.

Vyrn: Wha!

Lyria: Erika...

Erika: ...!

Yngwie: Looks like my next order of business is to look for my "son."

Vyrn: "Son"? Just how many kids do you have, Yngwie?

Yngwie: Erika doted on Lukav like a big brother. So in a way, you could say he's my son.

Yngwie: And no child of mine would die so easily, even when caught in an explosion.

Yngwie: He must be all alone right now. Wish he had someone to keep him company...

Yngwie: I'd be glad to take on that role. It's time I finally did my job right as a father.

Erika: Dad...

Yngwie: The old hero goes out in search of his son!

Yngwie: How's that sound, (Captain)?

1. Badass.
2. Happy to keep traveling together.

Choose: Badass.

Vyrn: Wait, that means...

Yngwie: I'm gonna keep on keeping on with you guys.

Go to "Continue 2"

Choose: Happy to keep traveling together.

Yngwie: Likewise. Glad you saw what I was getting at.

Continue 2

Vyrn: Hehe... Just when Rackam and Eugen went out to buy drinks for your farewell party.

Yngwie: Hahahah! Sorry about that! I can already picture their reactions!

Lyria: This is great news! Happy to hear it, Yngwie!

Lyria: But what about Erika? You just reunited with her...

Erika: It's all right... Do what you have to, Dad. Besides, I want Luka back too.

Yngwie: I promise to bring him back in one piece.

Yngwie: On that note, Andy—

Anderson: Yeah, I'll stick around since I'll able to sense him if he returns.

Anderson: Not like I had any intention of leaving Roanne to begin with.

Vyrn: So the plan is for Shield General to stay behind, while Yngwie goes out on the search?

Vyrn: Not a bad idea. Who knows? We could luck out and find Commander Dude in no time at all.

Yngwie: That's the idea.

Lyria: Happy to have your help, Anderson!

Anderson: Roanne could really use him right now.

Erika: Never expected that to come out of your mouth... What's your angle?

Anderson: You seen the Rie Famille soldiers lately? Ever since learning of his plan, the look in their eyes tells me their trust in Lukav hasn't wavered in the slightest.

Erika: Well..

Even now, plenty of Rie Famille members stand by everything Lukav did.

Anderson: This is in spite of all the danger that his plan subjected them to.

Anderson: If that group of people continues on without their leader, who knows what they may end up doing.

Anderson: Which is why I figure we need Lukav, to lead those still discontent with the government down the right path this time.

Yngwie: Yeah, he's got a certain charisma that draws people to him.

Yngwie: He'll be a positive force for change when he comes back. Of that, I have no doubt.

Yngwie: Not to mention we promised to go drinking together. I'm holding him to it. He and I have got plenty to talk about.

Erika: Huh? When did you make that promise with him? And what could you possibly have to talk about?

Yngwie: Hah... You might be my daughter, but that's a secret between us boys.

Erika: Aw, c'mon now.

Yngwie: Now begins the adventure to find my son! Fingers crossed that I find him sooner than later!

Vyrn: Heheh! You can count on our help!

Lyria: Mm-hm! That's for sure!

Fully confident that Lukav still has a life ahead of him in Roanne...

Yngwie climbs aboard the Grandcypher once more...

In order to seek out his son—the brother of his beloved daughter—and bring him home.

The End
