Dragonaut - The Resonance 1

For various reasons I've been unable to do as much as I would have liked this past month, so now I'm going back and taking a peek at all the series that still don't have translations up. No promises as to whether or not I'll continue some of these, I just wanted to help everyone get a taste for the new series in SQ.

Feel free to use this translation, it's non-exclusive.

-This place never changes...

04
-Master!!

05
-We've been summoned!
-It...finally showed itself!

-Already...?!

-All right, get down here
-Right awa~~y!
-oops

06
-Ng...unngh... small: messed up the landing...

-Huh!? Master!! Where'd you go?!
-We don't have much time!!

-oh

-You idiot! Why do you keep doing these stupid stunts every single time!!
-aha-aha...ha ha

07
-The target is lying idle on the summit of Mt. Fuji! It appears to have finished laying its eggs!

-There's only about 2 hours left before they hatch!
-All citizens within a 100km radius have been evacuated to safety!

-Dragonaut Kamishina and his partner have arrived!

08
-In the year 20xx, mankind met with an unprecedented crisis
-The earth was invaded by an alien life form - type D, or "Dragon," as it came to be widely called

-The Dragons chose a planet to prosper on...and that planet was earth

-Mankind's only chance to resist them...

09
-...are the "Dragonauts"!
right: Dragonaut, Kamishina Jin
left: Similarly, Toa (t/n - onajiku is like writing ditto, so you could just write dragonaut again if this doesn't sound right)

-What's with master? Always insulting me...
-Gotta be strong! I can still redeem myself!

-Greetings, Kamishina-san, Toa-san

-Allow me to brief you on our battle plan
-That won't be necessary
-Huh!?

-Pull our troops out of here this instant. You're just in the way
-B-but ...what about you, sir?

10
-Isn't it obvious? We're going to burn that dragon and its eggs to ashes!

-B-but!!
-Let it go

-It's better we get out of here
-Didn't you know? They're the "Destroy by Fire" team...the most evil Dragonauts of them all...
-If we hang around much longer, we're all done for!

11
-You got that right
-We're going to Actualize in just a few moments

-Stick around any longer, and you get what will happen, right?

-Y-y-yessir!!!

-Master! Why do you always say things in a way that's easily misunderstood?!
-I only spoke the truth

-Now you've really done it, Kamishina Jin

12
-Kitajima Yuuri

-At least call me professor Kitajima. I am your superior officer, after all
-And i'm her assistant, Hoshi Nanami

-What are you two doing? Go get into position!
-Yes sir, rightaway sir!

-What are you doing?
-I should ask you the same! You're not the one in charge here

13
-The military will draw the Dragon away from its nest with a diversionary attack. During that time, we will retrieve those eggs.
-Until our part is done, you are on standby!

-You know very well what I'm talking about. Retrieving the eggs is our top priority
-That's an order
-Forget it

-We'll handle this like we always do. Hey idiot, let's go
-Okay!

-Wait--Jin-kun!! P-professor, he's leaving!!
-You're too late

14
dragon: Vwooooo

-What the?
-The battle has already started!?

-Call the troops off! We'll take down the dragon!

15
-Know your place!

-Repeatedly ignoring orders and acting on your own--
-All you do is blindly burn everything in sight

-Quit abusing your power just to fulfill your personal feelings of revenge!

16
-All you want is vengeance on behalf of your family!

-Please
-Please, wait!

-What now?
-That's...quit being so cruel!!

-I mean...sure, master has a foul mouth and a foul attitude...
-and yeah, all he does is insult me time and time again, never treating me kindly
-Yes! He's an egocentrical maniac who doesn't think of other people's feelings!
(gray above her head is "unsatisfied", but you could probably use

"complaining" or "grumble" given the context)

17
-But...but master is--!!
-IDIOT!

-Shut the hell up!

-But I'm at the most important part...
-We don't have time to listen to you flap your mouth!

-Hurry it up already!
-Y-yessir!

-Hold on! You're going to Actualize?!
-That's right. Just watch, we'll end this shortly

18
-Professor!

sfx: sss

-Why, you...!
-I'm fine, Master

-...I already know that a gun like this can't hurt her

-But if she takes several bullets to her vitals, she won't be going anywhere

for a while!

dragon: Ooooo

19
-I'm just as serious as you are. I'm sure you can appreciate
-Just how valuable those eggs are to us Dragonauts...no, to the entire human race!

-I won't allow you to destroy them for your own selfish reasons!
-I swear it, on my pride as a scientist!

-Even if that pride means innocent people will lose their lives?

-What are you talking about...?

20
-M-Master!!
-Don't tell me...!

sfx - crrack x2

21
-It's already started!!
-Get everyone out of here!
-UWAAAAAA!!

-aaaa!!

-ah..!!
-pshhh

22
-kyaaaaaaaa!!
-Don't let it touch you, or you're dead!

-Professor, what is this thing!?

-This...the eggs are trying to hatch...!

23
-The eggs sprout roots...
-that can obtain nutrients from anything on the surface of the earth!

-The eggs must absorb energy from other living things in order to hatch

-That's why the Dragons chose earth, a planet overflowing with life energy!

-In the end, the land is changed to a desert where not even a single blade of grass can grow
-Just like Tokyo has become!

-Vwooooooo

24
-Kyaaaa!!

-Master!!

-I'm coming!!

25
-DON'T!

-Kyaa!
-Eeek!!

-The only one who can protect those people is you!

-Don't forget
-The vow we made!

26
-Right!

-Leave it to me!!

27
-I'll be right back!

-We'd better move too - hold on tight!

-Why...why did it come to this!?
sfx x2 : Do-kun (beating)
-It's too soon for this to be happening, according to my data!

-I'm not sure...perhaps the eggs sensed their mother was in danger

28
-This is what happens when you let a dragon live even a second too long!
-In order to prevent needless sacrifices, you must destroy everything without a second thought!

-Sacrifices...
-Some sacrifices are unavoidable!

-I mean...collecting those eggs were for the sake of mankind's future!
-I'm...not mistaken!

29
-not mistaken...huh

-The only reason you're able to say that
-is because you haven't lost anyone dear to you

-Forget it...no matter what you say now,
-it's already...

30
-too late!!

-Sorry, but I have no intention of dying for your stupid pride
-And neither does she!

31
-Master!!

-It's about time...let's do it!

-Actualize!!

32-33 no txt

34
-Just stay put, Kitajima

-You'll be safe there for a while
sfx bubbles: all - "piku" (pop? melting noise)

-We'll clean up the rest of this mess!

-KUAAAAAAAAAA!

35
-Kuaaa

-Vwooo

36
-The only ones who can oppose the Dragons...are Dragonauts...

-Using earth-born dragons, created from the eggs of actual dragons,
-The Dragonauts are able to fight back

-In order to build up even more strength to protect mankind, we must collect more eggs!

-I'm...not mistaken!

37
-I'll never forgive you...

-If your existance means to steal the lives of others,
-you're better off not being born at all!!

38
-vwooooo

-kuaaa

-ch!

-damn..!

39
-Kuaaaaa!!!

-You...protected me!!

-aaaa

40
-aa
-aaa..

-That's enough!
-Move away!

-Don't look down on her. A flame like this is nothing...

-But...
-At this rate, you'll...!

-Nghh!!

-I thought you weren't willing to sacrifice yourself on my behalf!
-I'm prepared to die for the sake of my ideals anyway!

41
-SHUT UP!!

-I'm even more unwilling to allow anyone else to die!
-What ideals? Just shut up and accept our help!

-Two years ago...
-on the day when tokyo was destroyed...

-I lost people who were important to me

-I won't let anyone else go through that pain
-There are no "necessary sacrifices"! I'll protect the peace of mankind!

42
-I...!!
-Quit abusing your power just to fulfill your personal feelings of revenge!

-That's what the two of us swore, at the cost of our lives!

-So lend me your power!

-I need you, so that I can protect this world!
-Kuaaaa

-TOA!!

43
-kuaaaaaaa

44-46 no txt

47
-Good work on this mission

-The next time a Dragon shows up,
-remember that retriving its eggs is top priority

48
-However, whether or not you'll obey that order is up to you

-Of course, I hope you will if it means there won't be any sacrifices...

-Professor!
-Nanami, I'm glad you're alright

-I put you through a lot
-Master...

-ehehe, no problem! These wounds will heal in no time!

-I am in your debt. Thanks,

49
-Toa

-M-master! W-what did you just say--?

-Kyaaa!

-my, my

-I said "you idiot"
-Aww~~! No you didn't!!

left: Not for "revenge", but rather for the sake of his "bonds" with the past...
