Special thanks go out to vesperia for the awesome script translation here. \o/ Anyway, let's get started.

GROSSULAR
Uugh… What a disgrace. This glorious Max Empire castle is being dirtied by monsters!
ARKHAM
…Calm down. That disgrace will disappear soon, too. It’ll be taken away by that awakened black moon, Gardenia.
GROSSULAR
Labrado! You knew things would turn out like this? Why have you not said anything until now?!
ARKHAM
Hahahah… The sleeping princess fairytale is real! The black moon is a monster! Had I talked about it, would you believe me? Of course not. There is no reason for you fools to understand, without knowing about the existence of the Quartz as you continue to fight over and over again. Which is why I cooperated with the world unification of the Max Empire. I organized the Crystal Knights to finally defeat Creed with the power of Soma. But Grossular, since you broke all of the Soma, everything… is going to end…
GROSSULAR
Urgh… You drowned in power, and now you’re condemning me with that hero face of yours!
ARKHAM
What’s wrong with collecting power?! In order to stand up to that Creed, overwhelming power is crucial! …But Iola, Donna, Zex and Tecta… They all denied me and ran… Hahah… In the end, other people do not understand how I feel… Not even my friends, or my own son…
PARAIBA
Um… What happened to Chalcedony?
GROSSULAR
That boy ran in the middle of his execu--… No, his questioning. That’s right, he said something about breaking a promise with you, my Lady?
PARAIBA
No… That’s a lie!
GROSSULAR
I-It’s not a lie! Proof of that is this pendant of the promise that he left behind and ran.
PARAIBA
It’s the real scarlet pendant… No… He promised to protect me…
GROSSULAR
Ohh! Reinforcements from my military?!
PARAIBA
I was abandoned even by Cal… No, I knew this from the beginning… No one looks at me as a person… No one loves me… Yes, ever since I was little I’ve given up…
ARKHAM
…Your Majesty?
PARAIBA
I’m not needed anymore! Not by anyone, not by anything!! Not even myself!!
GROSSULAR
Y-You!! Do something about this monster… uurgh…
ARKHAM
Ahhh! D-Don’t come! Why has this… aghhh…!
CHALCEDONY
Father… Major!!
PERIDOT
Ack! This is so bad I don’t even know what is bad!!
INNES
This is… a multiple-person Zerom fusion?! And the body is…
PARAIBA
No one needs me!!
CHALCEDONY
Lady Paraiba!!
PARAIBA
Ruuughhhhhhh!!!
HISUI
Idiot! What do you do in an emergency like this when the big shots are all in the Zerom?!
BERYL
I-It’s just a suggestion, but how about just leaving them here and let them calcify? …And I won’t forgive people who do that!
CHALCEDONY
Lady Paraiba! I will save you now!! Aghhhh!!
SHING
You have to be careful! The wounds you got from that Zerom earlier haven’t healed!
CHALCEDONY
Shut up! No matter how cut up my body becomes, I will save Lady Paraiba!!
SHING
Yeah. We’ll stop the Zerom’s movements. And then you’ll be the one to save her Spiria!

BERYL
Coming all the way to the black moon… this isn’t a dream, right?
SHING
Hahah, it’s the perfect example for your adventure picture, right?
BERYL
Too adventurous! Honestly, the fact that I’m alive right now is a total accident. My precious hands are covered in cuts…
SHING
You’re right… I’m sorry. But these cuts are proof that you helped me. I promise. I’ll protect the future where you’ll become an imperial artist!
BERYL
I don’t really care about that… What my dream is to be with y- …See, the truth is, I hated myself all this time. I was a coward, petty, rebellious kid with too much pride… But! Because you and Kohaku believed in me, I kind of started to like myself! Whoever I am, it’s who I drew on my Spiria’s canvas! And whatever Kohaku, too! Then Shing, who believes in whoever we are! …Right?
KOHAKU
Beryl…
BERYL
Jeeez! If you don’t do this properly I’ll get all upset! My dream is… to draw a world where everyone I love lives on happily!
SHING
Yeah, I wanna see that picture too!
BERYL
Hehehe… of course you have to pay commission fees ♪
KOHAKU
…Beryl… Thank you.
SHING
Kohaku, why were you hiding there?
KOHAKU
Shing… I…
SHING
Wow… Look, Kohaku! That’s our world!!
KOHAKU
It’s kind of pretty… That’s our star…
SHING
Yeah. Gardenia’s absorbing the Spiria, but that power’s still shining brightly! That’s right! The astronomer Eucles is probably looking up here, right? Hey, Eucles! We’ve come all the way up here!!
KOHAKU
Shing, you’re… strong… I’m not… Coming here, all of a sudden, I’m scared… Everyone’s an enemy where we’re standing now!! We have to defeat this earth! …It’s impossible… We can’t fight a planet…
SHING
…Kohaku. Take my hand.
KOHAKU
…You’re shaking so much.
SHING
I don’t want to show it in front of you, but… I’m so scared I could scream. It’s way too rash to beat Creed and this huge planet at the same time.
KOHAKU
You think it’s useless after all, too…
SHING
Yeah. …It’s big, but Gardenia’s a world without anything. There’s robots, but they don’t have any feelings. Gardenia’s a lonely planet… That’s probably why it’s sucking up all that warm light. Hey, Kohaku… Celirand kind of looks like something, y’know? A jewel that has so many feelings gathered and shining brightly, like…
KOHAKU
…Spirune?
SHING
Yeah, people’s feelings are all connected and that shining planet is, I’m sure, the world’s Spirune. I learned that on this journey… that this is a world filled with so many feelings, and the power of Spiria inside people. Sad things and ugly wars happen, but… even that’s a part of this sparkling world that I love. That’s why I have to stop Gardenia. I think it’s absurd, but I don’t think it’s useless. If Gardenia’s a planet, then it has to have a Spirune of one in it, just like all of us!
KOHAKU
The Spiruen of a planet… What a strong Spiria… You’ve finally finished your promise with Zex!
SHING
No, I just believe in the power of everyone’s Spiria. The one who let me believe in that was… you, Kohaku.
KOHAKU
Shing… I believe you too. In the shining Spirune inside of Shing… the light of a star…
HISUI
…Hey, they can’t do any more than that!
BERYL
Don’t push me, Hisui… Aghhh!
KOHAKU
Y-You guys?!
INNES
…W-We were just making sure you were okay, not like we were looking or anything ♥
