Home Sweet Moon - Ending - Episode 1

Diaspora begins charging for a purge of the skies while being assaulted by the crew. Cassius and Isaac fly in with their pod at the same time. They tell the crew not to hold back because they'll be abandoning their pod. Eustace gets in position to release Flamek on Diaspora.

Diaspora: Whirr...

Beatrix: It's not letting up!

Zeta: But we're definitely dealing damage to it, little by little.

Zeta: Just goes to show that its regenerative capabilities are imperfect, or at least I hope so.

Beatrix: Sure doesn't feel like this is gonna end anytime soon though!

Zeta: Whining already, Bea?

Beatrix: I am not whining!

Diaspora: Iconguntin utlsasa.

Beatrix: Gwaah!

Lyria: Yggdrasil!

Lyria: Please help them!

Beatrix: Thanks, Lyria! Feeling better already!

Zeta: See? You were pretty beat-up after all!

Beatrix: I-I was not! How are you holding up then, huh!

Zeta: Isn't it obvious?

Zeta: I could go on fighting for days!

Zeta: Hey, Bea! What do you wanna do when this is all over!

Beatrix: Good question... I'd start with a nice, hot shower!

Zeta: I could use a bath myself, what with all this grime covering my body and my hair feeling gross! Ugh!

Beatrix: Once we're presentable, let's hit the shops! We'll pick out fashionable clothes and then treat ourselves to a nice meal!

Beatrix: I can already picture the layers upon layers of pancakes topped with whipped cream, ice cream, honey... Oh, and we can't forget the strawberry jam!

Zeta: Ahaha! We'll have to invite Ilsa too!

Beatrix: Sounds good to me! And then you'd want...

Zeta: I'd want a fancy bottle of alcohol to wash it all down!

Beatrix: Thought you'd say that! Might have to extend the invite to Vaseraga too!

Zeta: As for Cassius and Eustace, we'll just have drag them along for the ride!

Beatrix: We'll also have to go for more of that omurice that they love so much!

Zeta: Yeah... There's so much to do! I can't wait to get to it all!

Mahira: ...

Mahira, who is on the Grandcypher, listens to their conversation over the transceiver.

Mahira: Strawberry jam... Alcohol...

Mahira: Could it be!

Mahira: Cassius! I mean... Cassius clone!

Cassius: ...

Mahira: Ah, sorry to barge in here all of a sudden.

Cassius: Strawberry jam...

Mahira: Beatrix.

Cassius: Yukata...

Mahira: Zeta.

Cassius: Alcohol.

Mahira: Vaseraga.

Cassius: Omurice...

Mahira: Eustace.

Cassius: Sky...

Mahira: The sky?

Mahira: Who could you be referring to? Sky... Grandcypher... Rackam?

Cassius: Strawberry jam...

Mahira: Oh, back to the start.

Zeta: Doryaaa!

Beatrix: Hraaagh!

Diaspora: Ademga cesedex setemita.

Diaspora: Gerinsiv yastgret.

Diaspora suddenly ceases its attack to ascend high into the skies.

Beatrix: Hey, where do you think you're going!

Diaspora: Seerum gingrach ni niocaceteral odem.

Vyrn: What's it up to!

A faint glow radiates off the giant machine as it slowly dissolves its form to spread out across the skies.

Beatrix: I can't say, but I've got a bad feeling about this...

Zeta: I sure hope it's not ignoring us in order to start the purging process already...

Beatrix: No way! We can't let it get to that!

Diaspora: Gingrach: 68%

Beatrix: We've gotta do something!

Vyrn: Look, over there! Something else is falling down!

Vyrn points to an object far above Diaspora's glowing backside.

Lyria: Is that a pod?

Beatrix: It's Cassius and Isaac!

Zeta: You're probably right. But they're gonna have trouble landing...

Beatrix: Automagods? No, those are more like drones! They're swarming the pod!

Zeta: Ugh, there's so many of 'em! As if we didn't already have our hands full with Diaspora!

Eustace: Good job holding out!

Zeta: Eustace! About time! What took you so long!

Beatrix: Do you have any idea how rough we've had it!

Eustace: My transceiver was on. I'm aware of the situation.

Beatrix: That's not the point! Well? Are we doing this or not!

Eustace: ...
Yama's out of commission—had to use it on Dex.

Zeta: How's Vaseraga?

Eustace: He and a few others were injured, but everyone at the base is safe.

Beatrix: For real?

Eustace: ...
Did you two have your transceivers turned off?

Zeta: A-ahaha...

Beatrix: W-we were kinda busy tryin' not to get squished, okay!

Eustace: Sigh...

Eustace: It's fine. I'll take it from here.

Eustace: You guys stay back.

Zeta: You've got this handled?

Eustace, full of confidence, looks at every face present.

Eustace: That's what I'm here for.

Diaspora: Gingrach: 79%

Beatrix: Diaspora's all yours, but what about Cassius's pod? Won't it get hit by Flamek too?

Eustace: ...

Seeing the pod approach Diaspora from above, Eustace hesitates for a moment.

Isaac's Voice: Testing, testing... Can anyone hear me? Please tell me you hear me!

Eustace: Isaac?

Beatrix: Isaac! What is it! Where are you?

Zeta: Bea! Turn on your transceiver!

Beatrix: Ah, right!

Eustace: Eustace here. Isaac, do you hear me?

Isaac's Voice: Thank goodness! We finally got through!

Isaac's Voice: There's no time to get into the details right now, but—

Cassius's Voice: Isaac, move. I'll do the talking.

Beatrix: Cassius! Is that you, Cassius?

Cassius's Voice: Cassius speaking. The shock from Flamek should knock out the drones.

Eustace: And the pod?

Isaac's Voice: Our pod has reached its limits anyhow—

Cassius's Voice: Even if we get flung out of it, we'll find a way to land. We didn't come all the way to the Sky Realm just to mess up the landing.

Isaac's Voice: I never pegged you for the type to have such a carefree outlook on things, Cousin!

Cassius's Voice: So whatever you do, don't hold back with Flamek. Taking down Diaspora's going to take everything you have.

Eustace: That a warning?

Cassius's Voice: Just some honest-to-goodness advice.

Eustace: That so?

Cassius's Voice: Also... Are you listening as well, (Captain)?

1. Yeah.

Choose: Yeah.

Cassius: Flying in this cramped little thing is no way to travel the skies.

Cassius: I miss the Grandcypher so much...

Mahira: I figured it out!

Cassius: Sky...

Mahira: (Captain)!

Cassius: Edunclok.

Mahira: Ah!

Diaspora: Gingrach: 94%

Cassius's Voice: No time to waste. Do it, Eustace.

Eustace: Prepping it now.

Sparks run across Flamek as Eustace rubs his fingers along its barrel.

Zeta: Uh-oh! We'd better get out of the way!

Lyria: I'll make sure Cassius and Isaac have a safe landing!

Eustace: I'm counting on you, Lyria.

Eustace: Also... I can't wait for you guys to completely leave the blast radius.

Eustace: So brace yourselves for the shock wave.

Eustace: We'll pull through this together.

Beatrix: Gotcha! We'll be ready for it!

Beatrix: Still, the farther away we are, the better! C'mon, (Captain)!

After confirming that the others are at a safe enough distance, Eustace aims high with Flamek.

Eustace: Releasing...

Home Sweet Moon - Ending - Episode 1: Scene 2

Cassius follows up Eustace's devastating attack on Diaspora with a finishing blow by using a scalpel from Grace that his clone had been holding on to. With the moon's invasion thwarted, the crew officially welcomes Cassius and Isaac back to the skies.

Diaspora: ...!

Diaspora: Ginanustis tensitpres ademga morf gihh-olgveta yitcrelecit. Lebanu ot netedemir uroditna. Texecunio fo rugep ni yapderoj.

Diaspora: Zipitirgrion kirs nolacaulict dan ademga troncol. Cingrof perildass.

Eustace: Where do you think you're going?

Diaspora: ...!

Diaspora: Termexe emcitang eldif gitnegan perildass. Gaptintemt casepe ni molgetegarad mrof-mrof-mrof...

Eustace: You're the one getting purged here.

Diaspora: Camhine slelc tigmeln ta na caceteraled ceap morf alcrelecit nurb. Ginolib nipot derussaps...

Eustace: Enough messing around!

Diaspora: ...

Diaspora: ...

Eustace: ...

Releasing steam like a bubbling stew, the giant automagod is now half-melded into the ground as an unsightly black mass.

The devastating force of the lightning called forth by Eustace has even blown the surrounding clouds away.

In the nearby cloudless sky, shooting through the black smoke pouring from falling drone debris...

Eustace: ...!

Eustace catches sight of the pod being blown off course.

Cassius: The door won't open.

Isaac: Ouch, that's hot! The lightning must've melted part of the door shut!

Cassius: Isaac. Lend me your transceiver.

Isaac: Sure... Ah, we're at the lowest possible altitude for diving out.

Cassius: It's fine.

Cassius: Mahira.

Mahira's Voice: Oh. Hi, Cassius.

Cassius: I could feel my clone opening up. We'll be touching down soon. Can you have what's inside it at the ready?

Mahira's Voice: Sure, sure, it'll be ready for you.

Cassius: Good.

Isaac: There's nothing "good" about missing our chance to jump off, Cousin!

Cassius: We'll be fine.

Cassius: Rgh!

Cassius kicks open the partially welded door and takes in the scenery.

Spotting a blue light on an island not too far away, Cassius cracks a smile.

Cassius: ...

Cassius: Isaac.

Isaac: Hold on a sec. What's the plan?

Cassius: We're jumping to that island.

He grabs Isaac by the arm and leaps out of the pod.

Isaac: Whoa... Don't you think that's kinda far!

Cassius: Like I said, we'll be fine.

The next moment, a fierce wind blows up from below.

Isaac: Whooaaa...

Cassius: ...

Tiamat: ...

Cassius flashes a grin at Tiamat as he and Isaac are blown onto the island.

Cassius: Phew.

Isaac: Ouch!

Eustace: You made it back.

Cassius: Not quite yet.

Eustace: ...?

Curious as to whether Eustace succeeded, Beatrix and the others come running to see.

Beatrix: What the... Isn't that Cassius?

Zeta: Boy, is it good to see you back safe and—

Cassius: Uh-huh.

Beatrix: Hey! I can't believe he just walked right past us!

Zeta: Where's he rushing off to?

Zeta: Ah... Is that why?

Cassius next crosses paths with (Captain), Vyrn, and Lyria, who are also headed for where the lightning fell.

Vyrn: Nice to see you back in one piece, Cassius!

Lyria: Welcome back!

Cassius: Uh-huh.

Vyrn: Wow! Talk about a touching reunion!

Cassius: I have something to do first.

Cassius looks up at the shadow of the Grandcypher.

Mahira's Voice: I'm throwing it now, Cassius.

Cassius: Go ahead.

A shiny object falls from the Grandcypher's deck.

Cassius grabs it with his fingertips and winds up his throwing arm.

Cassius: Haah!

He then throws the object.

Diaspora: Insiosm pectomel.

Cassius: Phew.

Cassius: It's over.

Lyria: You had me really surprised... What was that all about?

Cassius: The noise embedded in the scalpel flowed into Diaspora, tricking it into thinking its mission is complete and causing it to self-destruct.

Vyrn: You mean the thing was still running after taking that much damage?

Cassius: I'm not sure. But the skies have no need of Diaspora, and I just made certain that it no longer exists.

Eustace: You sure did.

Eustace: You have my thanks, traveler.

Cassius: No.

Eustace: Huh?

Cassius: My trip is over.

Eustace: Ah, so it is.

Eustace: Then you have my thanks, Cassius.

Cassius: You're welcome. To be fair though—

Isaac: Ow...

Isaac: Phew! Finally out of that suit!

Cassius: Half the credit goes to that engineer.

Eustace: Indeed.

Isaac: Ngh...

Isaac: Can't even stand up. Body feels so heavy...

Zeta: Here, Isaac, why don't you lean on my shoul—

Zeta: Eww!

Isaac: Ah, sorry... I haven't showered in a while...

Eustace: Cassius...

Cassius: Understood.

With Cassius on one side and Eustace on the other supporting him, Isaac makes it to the Grandcypher.
