Negi: Nn... / ...gghhh... // Aaag... / ...gghhh...
Fate: Hah...

4
Fate: You wish to fight?
Chisame: Y... / You idiot...!
Fate: Very well. Then let us do battle, Negi-kun.

5
Rakan: Calm down there, kid.
Negi: ?!! // Wha...?
Fate: That was...
Negi: Ra...
Fate: ...... // Honestly... that man never ceases to amaze me. // Let us leave this for today, Negi-kun.
Negi: ?!

6
Negi: H - Hold it! Fate!!
Rakan: (Give it up, would ya? You can't beat him.)
Negi: !! // Rakan-san?! // Is that you, Rakan-san?! // Ahh...

7
KuFei: [aside]you were all right?[/aside]
Chisame: O... Old guy...!
Negi: ?! // Ra...kan-san...
Rakan: Hey there.
Negi: Ra... // Rakan...sa...n...
Rakan: What, this? This is just spirit. // You can do anything if you have the spirit for it. // Hm... // ...Looks like you've uncovered...
Chisame: O... Old guy...?
Rakan: ...the truth behind this world.

8
Rakan: Well, that makes things quick. // As you can see, it looks like they've got their hands on a power directly related to that secret. // You get it? / That's why I don't have a hope of standing up to them now. // The only ones who can stop them now... // ...are you guys!!
Negi: ......!
Rakan: Well, I won't ask a kid like you to bear the weight of the world on your shoulders. // You just take care of Asuna.
Negi: Eh...?

9
Rakan: If they've got their hands on the power of the Lifemaker... // ...we should assume that the real Asuna is in their hands right now...
Negi: Wha...?
Chisame: ?!
Negi: Rakan-san... what did you just...?!
Rakan: Hey, girlie! // Yeah, you! Chisame!
Chisame: Wh - what? Me?
Rakan: As you can see from his rampage just now, this guy's got a long way to go. // You keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't do anything stupid. // You're the one closest to him right now. // He's in your hands.
Chisame: Wha... D - D - Don't say stupid things like that! / Why should I have to...?! Surely it's Kagurazaka you should be saying that to!!

10
Rakan: Chances are the Asuna who's with you right now is a fake... // An illusionary substitute...
Chisame: Wha...
Negi: ...!!
Rakan: No... I guess "fake" is going a bit far... // She's just like me... // ...and this world...
Negi: Ah... Ra...kan...san...
Rakan: Heh... See ya round, kid. // Don't get consumed by the darkness. // Don't look back...
Negi: RAKAN-SAN!
Rakan: Keep on moving forward.

11
Rakan: When a guy keeps his gaze fixed right in front of him... // ...the world smiles on him.
Negi: Raka... // ...n...san...
KuFei: ......
Chisame: H... Hey... You're kidding us, right...? // You'd never get beaten and just disappear... // You wouldn't...

12
Chisame: Idiot... // The heck... is that...? // Weren't you meant to be a freaking broken character with infinite cheats...? // Don't go and get yourself killed... // You stupid old pervert... // ......
Negi: RAKAN-SAAAAAAAAN!!!

13
Asakura: Miyazaki!! / It's no good... run for it!!
Nodoka: [aside]Aisha-san... // Aisha-sa..n... // Craig-sa... Aisha......sa...
Asakura: (No use, huh... // I guess I can't blame her, in a situation like this... // That robed guy is a monster... even Kaede-chin had trouble with him. // I don't have a chance of saving Miyazaki... / ...I don't even have a chance in hell of escaping this myself... // I don't know what's happened to Sayo-chan, but I'm getting nothing from her, too... And with this telepathy interference, our communication options are zero... // And I'm not fool enough to rely on the slim chance of someone showing up to save us... // What do I do... // What do I do... What do I do?!)

14
OminousFigure: Worry not, young girl. // It is not your fate to die here. // Just as with those who vanished before you... / ...you will merely live on in the Eternal Garden... // What is more, unlike them... / ...as a human, you will leave a body behind. // You need hold no regrets. // You will be reunited with them, and with your loved ones, in the other world.

15
Asakura: (I... It's no good... there's nothing I can do...! // Is this the end of the line...?!! // M... // Miyazaki......!!)
Nodoka: (...No... // Not yet.)
Asakura: ...?
Nodoka: (There is still something we can do!! // This isn't over yet... I'm certain of it!!)
OminousFigure: ?
Asakura: M... // Miyazaki?

16
Nodoka: You made the mistake... // ...of thinking of me as a mere powerless girl, Mr. Mage. // (Craig-san... Aisha-san... // I swear I will...!!) // What is... // ...your name?!!
[Insert text: Nodoka's gaze faces ever forwards... her strength will overturn despair!!]
