The Final Frontier Pt.2
There, he's on his knees!
M-Miss Omega! Now!
You... what are you trying to...
Hey, Khan?
You know? Friends don't only say nice things to each other.
Sometimes friends are annoying. Sometimes they make you angry.
So... you can be Omega's friend too!
Omega's gonna fire the strongest blast!
Once you're all fixed up nice and clean, you'll be Omega's friend, okay?
W-wait!
Repair...
Mass Driver!!!
...He got blasted away.
He's become one with the stars...
He didn't... explode, though.
What?! You were hoping he'd explode?
W-well, I just thought it would look more beautiful that way...
Ahh! My Blue Fang! There's another crack in it!
I only just paid for the repairs...!
And I can't pull him back, so no bounty either...
I-is that so...?
Should Omega bring him back? Omega's database has airplanes!
There are rockets too! Right now Omega can make any—
...H-huh?
Aw... Omega... isn't crackling anymore.
...Back to normal.
Lightning is powerful but an unstable energy source.
Furthermore, the previous projection used 95% of the energy secured.
But what about Trish's bounty?
...Haha, well, it's fine!
Whining about money's not very cool anyway.
Plenty of bad guys left to catch out there. Like those two con artists over there.
You two con artists turned out pretty helpful this time around.
S-shut up! We rescued the spirit!
That's right! Saintess Muriel went through so much stress fighting them!
If we'd just quietly grabbed the relic and the spirit and fled...! Climbing dozens of ranks would've been no problem...!
Yup, thank you for helping Omega, everyone!
You're Omega's friends too!
Friends with the Star Piercer's spirit?!
I g-guess... not a bad result, all things considered?
Time to head back, Cube!
But Cube. There's something Omega's wondering about.
Cube, you can call Omega, right? You can go "ping", right?
Why didn't you "ping" when Khan took you away?
Answer. A matter of Omega Control's safety.
Omega Control is emotional and inexperienced.
Assessed as dangerous: Omega Control receiving this unit's distress signal and rushing in alone.
Additionally, Omega Control's fuel efficiency is low. Combat endurance is weak.
Conclusion: Factored in the risk of a crisis like the one just experienced.
Misjudgment: This unit underestimated Omega Control's capabilities. Correcting calculation vector.
Hehe.
...
Question. Requesting the meaning of that laugh.
It means Omega's glad! That's all.
Cube Palace was worried about Omega too. Right?
And Cube! Admit it!
Without Omega's friends, it would've been bad! Just like Cube worried!
But what about it? See? Lots of friends helped, didn't they?
So aren't friends really helpful for [the objective]?
...No comment.
Oh, and Cube! One more thing!
Friends don't have to be helpful to be friends!
Friends... you know how they are. Sometimes they're annoying. Sometimes they make you angry.
But if Omega were alone, Omega wouldn't have felt any of that. Not anger, not annoyance, not fun, none of it.
That's what's so good about friends!
So Cube, you know what? You can keep being annoying to Omega!
...
...Tactical and functional evaluation of Omega's friend theory is deferred.
However, adding feedback for future growth.
To begin with, this unit was captured because Omega Control went outside, set this unit down, and left—
Aaah!
C-Cube! Big trouble!
It's almost evening... it's nighttime!
Omega has to sneak back in! Or else Mister won't bring back anything tasty!
Wh-what do we do? Which way?!
...
Calculating route.
Warning. Do not stray from the path this time.
