Axl Ending
|
Uwaaaaaaah...!
|
|
Eh... eh!? Did I... win...?
|
|
I didn't get this... ...Did I... Save the world...?
|
|
Even after accomplishing a deed this great, he could barely understand it, Axl's heart remained heavy.
|
|
(It's a relief to still be alive...
|
|
... but the only clue I ever found about getting home turned out to be a lie!
|
|
I wonder what my mates are up to...? Are they getting along without me...?)
|
|
Thinking of his friends, Axl is filled with grief.
|
|
But at the next moment...
|
|
Crowd: It's the messiah! You've delivered us from Justice!
|
|
Crowd: Thank you...! Thank you! You've saved the world!!
|
|
The crowd's ecstatic cries of jubilation rose to a deafening pitch.
|
|
These people...
|
|
(That's right, I can't mope around forever...
|
|
This world's really not so bad... I can make new friends...
|
|
If I do happen to come across a way to get back home, great...
|
|
... but I'm not going to waste my time looking for one anymore!)
|
|
Hey, everyone! Your messiah's right here!
|
|
Just as Axl is about to reach the rejoicing throng of people...
|
|
Wait... I remember this feeling...! What...!?
|
|
Ahhhhhh...!
|
|
And so, Axl was once again hurtled through time.
|
|
|
|
Chipp Ending
|
Why do I have... to die...?
|
|
I fight only for my existence...
|
|
Human... Why do you want to destroy me...?
|
|
My reasons? It's not complicated...
|
|
If someone opposes me, I'll hunt them down! That's all.
|
|
You mean to say I lost to such a base philosophy?
|
|
Your own right to survive... that's what I believe justice is.
|
|
And what you just said is your... personal justice...?
|
|
Justice...? Justice means nothing to me!
|
|
I came to this tournament to avenge the murder of my master, but I was tricked!
|
|
Heh... So you 'miss' this person?
|
|
I have... no connection... to.. emotions like that... I am... a... weapon...
|
|
So saying, Justice, the ultimate Gear, breathed his last.
|
|
As Chipp stared at Justice's pitiful corpse,
|
|
he gradually came to a realization: He hadn't changed at all.
|
|
He was just as reckless as he was during his Mafia days.
|
|
He'd simply traded one vice for another: Crime for revenge.
|
|
Master Tsuyoshi: Those enslaved by vengeance lose the light of virtue.
|
|
How could I not have known such a basic proverb?
|
|
Master...! I couldn't even save the soul of one monster...
|
|
I need more training...!
|
|
|
|
Kliff Ending
|
So, Justice, it seems if your time has come.
|
|
How did such a... feeble old man... defeat me?
|
|
This is my responsibility.
|
|
A parent should be responsible for his dead son... Am I wrong?
|
|
Son...?
|
|
Are you saying that Testament... that Gear... was your son?
|
|
My stepson... I took him in during the Crusades...
|
|
Such a kind lad... He volunteered to be a
|
|
soldier. He thought it would make me happy! Whatever he saw during
|
|
that war, all that bloodshed... it drove him mad. I... I had no choice.
|
|
I see...
|
|
Unlike the other Gears, I knew he wasn't completely mine...
|
|
Feelings for his parent... Love... I suppose... He still felt such emotions...
|
|
...Perhaps, in his diseased mind... He thought he was doing all this... for you.
|
|
Now... I understand... why my... power... was... limi... ted...
|
|
So saying, Justice breathed his last.
|
|
So, Justice... It is done...
|
|
My duty has been fulfilled...
|
|
But perhaps... perhaps I pushed myself a bit too far...
|
|
I feel a bit... sleepy...
|
|
|
|
Ky Ending
|
I can't believe it... I've been defeated again.
|
|
That's right! Evil has no place in this world!
|
|
Evil...? How dare you call me evil!?
|
|
...I fight for my own existence. No more, and no less...
|
|
That can't be your reason for waging war on humans!!
|
|
. . . . .
|
|
...Look at my body.
|
|
I was created by humans to kill humans. ...I'm a weapon.
|
|
Yet , the same humans that created me never thought about my mind, our soul.
|
|
I'd have been used as a tool... and if I refused, I'd have been dismantled!
|
|
...I...
|
|
Ask yourself... Can you truly blame me?
|
|
I was born into this world a slave... And now you're here to destroy me.
|
|
I know humans loathe me violent... and always will.
|
|
I could do nothing but live on, if for no other reason than scorn my creators!
|
|
But what do you think I've been living FOR?
|
|
My duty. My assigned role! I was created to kill, and so I do. It's justice!
|
|
That's a delusion!!
|
|
What God ordains and wishes for... The order of the world! THAT is justice!!
|
|
If anyone or anything attempts to deprive the world from its freedom...
|
|
...I'll defeat them all!!
|
|
I see...
|
|
...You should meet the man who created me...
|
|
I wonder if your unwavering faith in justice would continue if you did...
|
|
Who... Who's that!?
|
|
Heh... My time to depart from this world has come...
|
|
But remember well, young Knight, even if I die, the Gears will not!
|
|
As long as that man... still... lives.
|
|
And so, with a rattling chuckle, the ultimate Gear breathed his last.
|
|
No... you can't die yet!!
|
|
Who...?
|
|
Wasn't I doing the right thing, Lord?
|
|
|
|
May Ending
|
Whee! I win!!
|
|
How could such a little girl be so powerful...
|
|
....!? It can't be... ...Is this child... ...Japanese!?
|
|
Mysterious Voice: Whoa there! Don't say another word!
|
|
Mysterious Voice: Or do you want your few minutes left to live to be cut even shorter!?
|
|
...Who... are you...? ... I see... there were...
|
|
...Survivors...
|
|
So saying, Justice breathed his last.
|
|
Mysterious Voice: ...Forget about us...
|
|
That voice...!
|
|
Johnny!!! Everybody's here!!
|
|
Johnny: Yo! Did you miss me, cutie-pie?
|
|
Oh, Johnny, how I've dreamed of this moment...!
|
|
...But... hey... how did all you guys get here?
|
|
Johnny: Uh... when I was first stuck in that damned cell,
|
|
Johnny: I thought "Why not try and serve my time. like a normal person?"
|
|
Johnny: Temporary insanity, I tell you! As soon as I felt the Gears' vicious aura,
|
|
Johnny: I came to my senses, broke out, and came looking for you!
|
|
You broke out by yourself? No help?
|
|
Johnny: Of course!
|
|
Johnny: No lock or cage in the world's strong enough to hold Johnny!
|
|
Then... then why didn't you come sooner!?
|
|
Johnny: Hey now, cakes, don't get all weepy! I'm sorry...
|
|
Johnny: I just wanted to, uh, let you get out on your own for a while. Yeah.
|
|
Johnny: (..! If she knew I actually charmed my way out with the female guard, I'd be dead!)
|
|
Oh yeah! What did that big meany call me? Japa...?
|
|
Johnny: ...Ulp!!
|
|
Johnny: Uh, who knows? Gears say stupid things...
|
|
Johnny: ...But anyway! I'm back in the real world now! Y'all ready to party!?
|
|
Entire Crew: Aye-aye!!
|
|
|
|
Sol Ending
|
It's the same... the same as that time, long ago...
|
|
Once again I kneel prostate at your feet, 'Flame of Corruption!'
|
|
Right... I won't stop until all the Gears are wiped out.
|
|
Why? You are a Gear as well! You have the emblem on your head
|
|
The mark on your forehead is proof! Then how did you disobey my orders?
|
|
Why? I ask you the same question...
|
|
Why should I do what you command? What binds me to you?
|
|
I'm... Type-01... The first Gear ever produced.
|
|
The only Gear to be fully self-aware... to have a will of their own!
|
|
And because of that, I wield the power to command all other Gears!
|
|
My word is law!!
|
|
Every Gear manufactured after you, the first,
|
|
is a production model. Having no will, they can do nothing but obey you.
|
|
So, then, why do you think I don't follow you like a mindless doll?
|
|
Exactly! Why? HOW can you disobey!?
|
|
Isn't it obvious? I'm the prototype Gear.
|
|
!!
|
|
Heh heh heh... Now I see...
|
|
We were forged by the will of greedy human beings.
|
|
And so, we're nothing more than a symbol of all that's wrong with the world.
|
|
For that reason... I will never stop until I've destroyed every Gear.
|
|
...So that's why...
|
|
...I seem to recall... The G... Gear Project... Long, long ago...
|
|
...!?... That's right... Heh heh... H... How could I have forgotten you?
|
|
If only we could have talked one last time... Just the three of us...
|
|
And so, with a rattling chuckle, the ultimate Gear breathed his last.
|
|
...Justice...?
|
|
That's right... The man who created us...
|
|
...our boss! I won't rest until you lie writhing in agony before me!!
|
|
Sol, the Guilty Gear, stared at his bloodstained hands and prayed...
|
|
...prayed for the soul of the grotesque sacrifice lying at his feet.
