wasn't going to do this but eh, it's pretty easy, so...

edit: done. do proof if you can.

01 the color extra
right most: The dragons vs the Jiliard Army! What will be the outcome...? (t/n - unfamiliar with this term. jiruaado is the romaji. haven't seen the anime so i dunno)
paragraph next to it:
Jin and his partners travel to mars in order to rescue Toa, who's been captured by Arshim. They succeed in breaking her out, but as a result the planet is destroyed. One year later, the world changes drastically...

dark bold black below:
The path that Dragons chose
paragraph: After opposing the the humans they once obeyed, the dragons now find themselves battling against their old companions. Is a course of opposition against humans truly the best future for all Dragons?

Big white lines:
-The story accelerating
-Lives are being lost
-What will the destiny of humans and dragons lead to?

white upper corner (left): The decision that humans made
paragraph: The ISDA moves to deny the existence of all Dragons. That order extends to the Dragonauts as well, and begins to be strictly enforced.

The popular TV anime is now airing!

03

sfx: Girigirigrii

sfx: Guguu (grip noise)

-This is the worst possible situation...what now?
-They're obviously being controlled by him...with them as enemies, I...

-Wait, all I need to do is buy time
-Not only will it let Toa regenerate, but reinforcements might even arrive
-There is a way to stop those two from moving...but then, it'll affect Toa too...

-What to do...

sfx: suu
-There's no other way!

(well, grey bubble middle bottom says "SHAA")

06
-Thank goodness for Kitajima Yuuri's miniature CSS device...that should keep those two busy for a while

-I'm not sure how to snap them out of it. At least, I've done all I can for now
-Forgive me, guys...

07
-Mast---!!

-Don't push yourself, sis
-You haven't healed up yet...you can barely even stand, right?

-Have a nice nap

-No matter what you try, it's useless Jin

08
-All dragons bow in fear before my power!
-Moving them like marionettes is my unique ability...

-No matter how battered their bodies may be,

-They will continue to fight to the death, unable to feel a thing

-It's no different then the game we played before!

-Why...why did you attack us back then in Tokyo...?

-Cool your jets, Jin
-I'm not done yet

09
-I'll let you live
-Just leave my sis behind

-She doesn't even have the power to actualize anymore
-She can't even lift a finger! She's about to die

-A dragon that can't fight
-Is useless to you, right?

-Dragons' lives are valuable because they can fight

-Humans are quick to cast away anything they can't use

bubble: haa
-Show me! Show me the face

10
-That sis'll make when she's abandoned by her precious human!

-Ma...st...er...

-Hmmmm...? Trying to save her?

11
-Think about it

-There's no point in covering for her

bubbles: haa

-She's no longer
-a valuable tool to you anymore!

-...tool?

12
-Kuaaaa

-Kiiiii

-haa
-haa

-On no!! The Actualization failed!
-Professor, at this rate...!!

-I thought those two were our trump card against the Dragons...
-I guess this is it...!!

13
-haa...what "Dragonaut"...this is impossible after all
-Master...let's try again!

-Get lost

-The only reason I was willing to use you
-was because I thought I'd be able to have my revenge

-But since it's clear this is pointless,
-i don't need a tool like you!

14
-Zaa

-mother...father...
-Ai...forgive me...I couldn't avenge you guys after all

-I..d..don't...
-think so!!

15
-haa
-haa
-No way...!

-I won't let you...hurt master...any more!

-Stop!! Toa, don't move!!
-I...I'm fine...

-I'll protect you
-haa
-haa
-Even if it costs me my life

16
-How can this be...she's so heavily wounded that she's not even recovering...
sfx: Bushaaa

-She can't possibly be moving!
-You don't understand, brother

-For master...Toa will stand up like a Phoenix
-cough
-however many times it takes!

-Toa will revive over and over
-to protect her master!

-That's what...it means to be a Dragon!!
-haa

-A Dragon exists to protect its master?
-Then what the hell does that make me?

-You really piss me off! Acting all intimate with those stupid humans!
-I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!

-...up

-JUST SHUT UP!!
-YOU RETARD!

-wha...!? small: she's calling ME a retard?
-Get lost? What kind of order is that!

-Jin...you really don't understand a thing about women, do you?
-HUH!?

-I don't fight just because I'm your Dragon
-Or because it's your orders

22
-I protect you, Jin
-because I want to be by your side

-It doesn't matter what you think of me
-Because you're like my only family

-Is it wrong to want to save your family?

23
-Kiiii
-I will stand and fight!

-Because I want to protect you!
-So please, lend me strength!

24
-You're really
-stupid, you know?

25-26
-Ji...n?

-...I forget. How many of my orders have you ignored...?
-haa

-Ku...now of all times..!!

-Here comes the image! I'm putting it on screen!
-There's too many to count!!

-A-aaaah!!

-There's over a thousand of them!!

30
-Get it now?

-Everyone's going to die anyway!

-But you can relax...because I'll make sure sis gets to watch as you die!

-Ready for this, sis? See how you like the pain...of losing

-YOUR master!!

31
-Guh...!!

-She's healing...!? No, even her partner?!
