Aster & Eclipse

[???]: And if I am?

[Julia]: We're gonna blow your face off for what you did to Grandview Station!

[???]: Amusing. Tell me, what power do you think you have to do so?

[Julia]: Just who do you think you are, anyway?!

[???]: You know already. We are Team Meteor. And we do no relent.

[???]: Don't think you got through this place on your own ability.

[???]: We had no intention of defeating you.

[???]: Out purpose here is forfeit already.

[???]: But it was necessary to let you in, so that you could attend a demonstration.

[Julia]: Let us in?

[???]: Did you really think you hacked our security so easily? Foolish.

[???]: I ordered our operators to slow you down long enough to delete all mission critical data from our systems.

[???]: But it seems we overestimated your strength. Time was ample.

[???]: We grew tired of waiting.

[???]: Now, enough talk.

[???]: Aster.

[Aster]: Yes, boss!

[???]: Eclipse.

[Eclipse]: Yeah?

[???]: Deal with the small fries.

[???]: I can handle the gym leaders.

[Eclipse]: Hmph. If you say so.

[Aster]: For Team Meteor!

[???]: So you lost already? How disappointing.

[???]: I can take on two myself easily, but four...

[???]: Well, it was an amusing diversion.

[???]: Don't think you've won, though.

[???]: Team Meteor does not forgive.

[Eclipse]: Told you we shouldn't count on him to do out work.

[Aster]: We weren't... Ugh, fine, we'll capture you ourselves here and now!

[Vicoria]: <player>, I've got your back! We can do this!

[Eclipse]: You stay quiet, missy.

[Victoria]: Just make me!

[Aster]: Grr! Fine, go on! The boss said it was fine if you escaped anyway...

[Eclipse]: We'll be leaving now... But, hey?

[Eclipse]: Just because you beat us, doesn't mean you won.

[Eclipse]: Ta-ta.

[Aster]: Hmph, you again!

[Eclipse]: Come trying to find your friend again, have you?

[Aster]: But I'm afraid you're too late!

[Aster]: We captured him already.

[Aster]: Boss' orders of course.

[Eclipse]: They told us that he escaped a previous ambush. We had to correct that mistake.

[Aster]: Hey Eclipse, is it just me, or is someone outnumbered?

[Eclipse]: I believe so.

[Eclipse]: You've always had a friend to help you before. And now?

[Eclipse]: Game over.

[Eclipse]: That's disappointing...

[Eclipse]: But just as well.

[Eclipse]: Good luck finding your friend~

[Eclipse]: You'll need it.

[Aster]: Yeah, we've gotten him hidden away in here good!

[Eclipse]: Aster, for once could you shut up?

[Eclipse]: Just like once, please?

[Eclipse]: You just TOLD <player> that he's here. Ugh!

[Eclipse]: Nevermind.

[Eclipse]: We're gone. See ya!

[Aya]: We're totally off track and there's no sign of HArdy or Cain... Where even are we?

[Eclipse]: Oh, good. It's you.

[Aster]: Huh? Well, well! Look who showed up!

[Aster]: Hey, grunt! Go call for back-up! Tell 'em we got a good catch down here!

[Eclipse]: Is that really necessary?

[Aster]: Heh, I know what you mean, Eclipse. We'll pound these guys into the ground ourselves!

[Eclipse]: I don't think you know what I mean at all. Let's get this over with.

[Eclipse]: I'm done. You win.

[Aster]: Don't give up! We fight to the end! For Team Meteor!

[Eclipse]: I'm not 'giving up'. I'm quitting.

[Aster]: You what?!

[Eclipse]: And look, I'll even turn off the PULSE Clawitzer for you. Here.

--PULSE 10-CLAWITZER: SYSTEM OFFLINE--

[Eclipse]: That's what you wanted, right? That's why you came here.

[Aya]: Uh... about that...

[Aya]: ...We just got lost and wandered in here.

[Eclipse]: ...Oh.

[Eclipse]: Well... that's what I wanted. So thanks for wandering in.

[Aster]: Eclipse, what the hell do you think you're doing?

[Eclipse]: I literally just said like three different times. Were you not listening or are you actually that stupid?

[Aster]: Wait, Eclipse, why?! I thought we were going to change the world together!

[Eclipse]: Yeah, well, I changed mt mid. This isn't the change I wanted.

[Eclipse]: Since we joined we're done nothing but help Team Meteor hurt more and more people.

[Aster]: But in the end--

[Eclipse]: This isn't WORTH the end!

[Eclipse]: What good is a new world if the people we care about aren't in it?

[Aster]: I don't understand...

[Eclipse]: Yeah, you don't. You never had a family. You grew up on the street and the only one you ever had to look out for was yourself.

[Eclipse]: That's not a luxary everyone has.

[Aster]: Team Metoer gave me a home. I will repay them with my life!

[Eclipse]: I know. Great, do it. I don't care.

[Eclipse]: Look. My father lives in Calcenon City. If one of the Clawitzer's attacks hits his house, that's it. Game over. End of line.

[Eclipse]: We were assigned to guard the power station for it, but I can't just sit here and make my dad into Schrondinger's Meowth.

[Aster]: Who's what now.

[Eclipse]: And I'm pretty sure I've actually lost IQ points from being partnered with you.

[Aya]: Uhh, sooo, <player>, do we just let these two duke it out or...?

[Eclipse]: Sorry for the trouble. Look, if you're going to fight Team Meteor, there's something you should know.

[Eclipse]: Team Meteor itself wasn't always bad. When Solaris lead us, we had one strict goal: Cleanse the city.

[Eclipse]: We wanted Reborn to be pure again, bu the people had to leave for that to happen. So we started doing things to make them leave. 

[Eclipse]: But then, everything changed. After she launched through the ranks, Lin started--

{Chandelure appears on Eclipse}

[Aster]: Eclipse!

[Sirius]: Turncoats will not be forgiven.

[Eclipse]: Augh... gugugughugh... ugh...

[Aya]: What's happening to her?!

[Eclipse]: Ughhh...

[Sirius]: DIdn't you know? Chandelure's flames burn away the soul. The body remains ecen after the spirit is lost forever.

[Sirius]: Done. Now for the next target...

[Sirius]: ...<player>.

[Aya]: Get out of the way!

[Sirius]: Fine, then I'll take you instead!

[Aya]: Ow-ow-ow! Let go of me!

[Sirius]: Hm... You have friends headed to Calcenon, correct?

[Sirius]: New plan. You'll make a fine hostage.

[Sirius]: Aster, destory the exit. Team Metoer, retreat.

[Aster]: ...Yes, boss...

[Aster]: <player>... I finally caught... up to you!

[Aster]: Look!

[Aster]: I have something you want!

[Aster]: It's for Waterfall.

[Aster]: You need this, right?

[Aster]: Then fight me!

[Aster]: Take it from me!

[Aster]: Come on!

[Aster]: What are you waiting for?!

[Aster]: Pretend you took it from me.

[Aster]: Or consider it a gift from Eclipse.

[Aster]: I don't know if that's what she would have wanted.

[Aster]: I don't know if it's right.

[Aster]: But I feel better now.

[Aster]: She always talked about changing the world.

[Aster]: I was just taking orders.

[Aster]: But since she's gone I've been thinking about it.

[Aster]: The world really does need to change.

[Aster]: Just not in the way Team Meteor's doing it.

[Aster]: Once, if I used all of my strength, and Eclipse's too--

[Aster]: Maybe I could be the one to fix everything.

[Aster]: But it looks like that's your job.

[Aster]: I'm signing out.

[Aster]: So you came here too...

[Aster]: I thought you might.

[Aster]: ...

[Aster]: It's because of you...

[Aster]: Every time, no matter where we go,

[Aster]: You're always there to stop us,

[Aster]: And then this happens.

[Aster]: It's your fault.

[Aster]: You did this to Eclipse!!!

[Aster]: I really, really tried to think it was your fault.

[Aster]: But I can't.

[Aster]: Eclipse made her choice, and the one who made her like this--

[Aster]: Sirius--

[Aster]: At least I can fight you.

[Aster]: But I know what happens if I try to turn on Team Meteor...

[Aster]: This team-- This family--

[Aster]: It's fucked up, and falling apart and it's barely even mine, but you know what?

[Aster]: It's still the only one I've ever had.

[Aster]: So what am I supposed to do?!

[Aster]: I thought, maybe I could be the one to change things the way Eclipse wanted, but I can't fight you and I can't fight Sirius--

[Aster]: So what the FUCK am I supposed to do?!

[Aster]: I can't fix anything...

[Aster]: I can't do anything...

[Aster]: All I can do is be here for her.

[Aster]: But I supposed that's all I need to do.

[Aster]: I can't consider Team Meteor my family after what they did to her.

[Aster]: Even if we fought, even if she hated me, even if there was nothing between us--

[Aster]: At least she was always there.

[Aster]: But she wanted to leave.

[Aster]: I can at least do that for her...

[Aster]: I'll get her out of here...

[Aster]: And I can't change the world the way she wanted,

[Aster]: But I guess you might be able to.

[Aster]: You'll probably need this.

{player receives Meteor Card}

[Aster]: Consider it a gift from Eclipse.

[Aster]: I don't know if that's what she would have wanted.

[Aster]: I don't know if it's right.

[Aster]: But I feel better now.

[Aster]: She always talked about changing the world.

[Aster]: I was just taking orders.

[Aster]: But for once, I think it's time to make my own choices.

[Aster]: I'll see you around, <player>.
