**[00:02] Miracle**
Hey!
**[00:03] Miracle**
It's me, Miracle!
**[00:05] Miracle**
For today's stream,
**[00:07] Miracle**
I'm going to go over what's happened
so far in the main event battles!
**[00:10] Miracle**
Our top batters were VICONIC,
the duo of Jua and Thea!
**[00:14] Miracle**
They gave us a performance where
they were in perfect harmony!
**[00:18] Miracle**
The audience was already incredibly excited,
and they were only the first act!
**[00:22] Miracle**
And the next to perform
were these three: 3DM8!
**[00:27] Miracle**
That's the unit of Zoe, Ximena, and Sofia.
**[00:30] Miracle**
They say they never even practiced together
until the day of the performance!
**[00:35] Miracle**
But the things that made each of
them unique really shone through!
**[00:38] Miracle**
It was a super-high-level performance!
**[00:41] Miracle**
And now, tonight,
it's time for the third unit.
**[00:45] Miracle**
That's us, PathTLive!
**[00:48] Miracle**
Yay!
**[00:50] Miracle**
We're going to give you a super-special
performance before BRT5 does the last one!
**[00:57] Miracle**
I'm working on the lyrics
at this very moment!
**[01:01] Miracle**
So look forward to today's
performance, everyone!
**[01:08] Miracle**
But... the lyrics aren't done at all!
**[01:13] Miracle**
What do I do?

**[02:58] Chris**
I agree.
**[03:00] Miracle**
Guys...
**[03:02] Miracle**
I-I made it...
**[03:07] Noelle**
What the heck happened to you?!
**[03:11] Miracle**
I ended up staying awake the
whole night working on the lyrics.
**[03:17] Noelle**
You didn't need to make virtual eye bags
**[03:20] Noelle**
and virtual sunken cheeks
for your avatar, though.
**[03:23] Miracle**
I want to get across how hard I worked!
**[03:26] Quan**
So, are the lyrics done?
**[03:29] Miracle**
They're all set to go!
**[03:31] Chris**
Are you okay, Miracle?
**[03:33] Miracle**
Riz, I'll send them now.
**[03:37] Riz**
Now we've finally got
everyone's lyrics ready.
**[03:41] Riz**
When we think about this from
a data-based perspective...
**[03:45] Riz**
The best way to handle a new song
is to select from the lyrics
**[03:48] Riz**
which represent all five of our emotions
and combine them in a balanced manner.
**[03:52] Riz**
That's what I'd like to do this time, too.
**[03:57] Miracle**
Okay!
**[03:59] Miracle**
We all feel the same way.

amazing thing we make!
**[04:13] Chris**
Yeah, I'm excited!
**[04:15] Riz**
I can't wait!
**[04:16] Quan**
Let's make the best song ever!

**[04:29] Ada**
We're at the halfway point,
with two performances finished.
**[04:32] Ada**
What are your thoughts
so far, Principal Auris?
**[04:36] Auris**
Perfect synchronization.
**[04:40] Auris**
This performance is the ideal that I seek.
**[04:44] Ada**
I see.
**[04:46] Ada**
But this pair is too harmonious.
**[04:49] Ada**
I can't feel the artists'
individuality at all.
**[04:53] Auris**
So Ada, the winner of the
Lapin d'Or, prefers...
**[04:59] Ada**
A violent clash between unique individuals.
**[05:03] Ada**
Performances like this are the
ones that change the world.
**[05:08] Auris**
So our opinions are completely opposite.
**[05:11] Ada**
If the remaining two performances prioritize
harmony over individuality as well,
**[05:16] Ada**
they'll never survive at
the Virtual Grid Awards.
**[05:20] Auris**
We won't know that until it happens.
**[05:23] Ada**
I want to ask you a question.
**[05:26] Ada**
Why are you having all of ADEN
participate in these qualifiers?
**[05:33] Auris**
I want to show the world how wonderful
it can be to connect through artists.
**[05:39] Ada**
I'll be blunt. Your idea of "connection" is
nothing but harmful. It crushes the individual.
**[05:46] Auris**
There's no point in arguing about that here.
**[05:50] Auris**
We'll know what kind of "connection"
will change the world...
**[05:55] Auris**
once the last two units have
finished their performances.

**[06:12] Quan**
New lyrics, with all of
our feelings in them...
**[06:16] Miracle**
Once we put these alongside Chris's song...
**[06:20] Noelle**
Come on. There's not much time
until the main event performance.
**[06:24] Riz**
Let's practice!
**[06:32] Jessie**
*With Niska back, BRT5 is unstoppable!*
**[06:36] Jessie**
*We're going to win! I know it!*
**[06:41] Jua**
I can't wait to see PathTLive's performance!
**[06:45] Thea**
Yes, but we'll be the ones to win.
**[06:49] Jua**
Of course.
**[06:52] Ximena**
Hey, where are you two gonna watch
PathTLive's performance tonight?
**[06:56] Zoe**
I haven't really decided.
**[06:58] Sofia**
My room, I guess.
**[07:01] Ximena**
*Okay, then...*
**[07:02] Ximena**
Let's all watch it together.
**[07:04] Zoe**
The three of us?
**[07:05] Ximena**
*Yup.*
**[07:06] Zoe**
Sure, I guess.
**[07:08] Ximena**
*Great! How about you, Sofia?*
**[07:10] Sofia**
Well, I guess it's okay.
**[07:12] Ximena**
Okay, let's all meet up in Zoe's room later.
**[07:16] Zoe**
Why my room?

**[08:05] Noelle**
It's definitely the best we've ever done!
**[08:09] Chris**
The Great and the Est!
**[08:12] Riz**
This data exceeded my expectations.
**[08:14] Miracle**
It's been... a long road to get here.
**[08:21] Miracle**
On the path that we live...
**[08:24] Chris**
PathTLive.
**[08:26] Noelle**
But I'm not stopping here.
**[08:30] Quan**
We're not at the end of the path yet!
**[08:34] Miracle**
Yes!
**[08:36] Miracle**
So let's all win and make
it to the VGAs together!
**[08:43] Miracle**
Aw, Riz, things were just getting good!
**[08:47] Noelle**
What is it?
**[08:48] Riz**
Th-This can't be happening!
**[08:52] Quan**
Riz?
**[08:54] Riz**
The audio sources and lyric data
for our new song is being deleted!
**[08:56] Quan**
Data has been deleted
**[08:58] Miracle**
Wh-Why?
**[08:59] Riz**
I don't know.
**[09:00] Riz**
But...
**[09:01] Noelle**
Don't you have a copy somewhere?
**[09:03] Riz**
No. It's all gone.
**[09:05] Riz**
I'm trying to restore it, but...
**[09:07] Riz**
Restore Data?
**[09:07] Riz**
I can't!
**[09:09] Noelle**
No!
**[09:10] Quan**
There has to be a backup somewhere...
**[09:13] Riz**
What about you, Chris?
**[09:14] Chris**
It's all gone.
**[09:19] Miracle**
Why?
**[09:21] Miracle**
Why did this happen?
**[09:23] Chris**
Miracle, calm down.
**[09:25] Miracle**
But we can't do our performance
in the main event without a song.
**[09:28] Quan**
Let's all sign out and go look for the data.
**[09:31] Riz**
Okay, if somebody finds it,
we'll all meet up again here.
**[09:34] Noelle**
Right.
**[09:38] Noelle**
What? What's going on?
**[09:40] Riz**
Don't tell me...
**[09:41] Miracle**
We can't log out?
**[09:46] Support Vanity**
Something terrible has happened.
**[09:48] Support Vanity**
Someone is rewriting ADEN's network systems!
**[09:55] Support Vanity**
Principal?
**[10:01] Auris**
Now you've done it, Ada.
**[10:07] Ada**
Damn it...
**[10:09] Ada**
Auris, what I really wanted
to overwrite was your...
**[10:15] Jua**
That's weird.
**[10:17] Thea**
What's weird?
**[10:18] Jua**
I'm trying to send a message to
PathTLive to cheer them on, but...
**[10:21] Jua**
Unable to
Send Message
**[10:23] Jua**
I keep getting this error message.
**[10:25] Thea**
Weird.

**[10:33] Miracle**
What do we do?
**[10:35] Noelle**
We've tried everything we can think of.
**[10:37] Riz**
But if we can't sign out or send messages,
**[10:40] Riz**
we can't even tell anyone.
**[10:42] Riz**
There's nothing we can do...
**[10:45] Miracle**
Does that mean we won't be able to perform?
**[10:57] Sofia**
*Can you hear me?*
**[10:59] Miracle**
This voice...
**[11:00] Sofia**
*This is Sofia with 3DM8.*
**[11:02] Riz**
I thought we were completely
cut off from the outside.
**[11:06] Riz**
Why?
**[11:07] Sofia**
Something concerning has happened.
**[11:10] Sofia**
ADEN's network is under
cyberattack from someone.
**[11:14] Sofia**
*I was tracking them when I found you.*
**[11:18] Riz**
A cyberattack!
**[11:19] Miracle**
Sofia, is there no way out of here?
**[11:23] Noelle**
There's no time left until our performance!
**[11:26] Quan**
Please! Help us!
**[11:28] Sofia**
* I'd love to, but the protocol that's*
* been placed on that area is complex.*
**[11:33] Sofia**
*I don't know if I'll make it in time.*
**[11:35] Quan**
No.
**[11:36] Riz**
If even you can't help, Sofia...
**[11:39] Chris**
Sofia, listen to me.
**[11:41] Sofia**
*Is that you, Chris?*
**[11:44] Chris**
I want to answer your question from before.
**[11:46] (Flashback) Sofia**
For you, right now, what is this world?
**[11:51] Chris**
My answer is...
**[11:53] Sofia**
*Tell me.*
**[11:55] Chris**
I'm still not 100% clear.
**[11:57] Chris**
But...
**[12:00] Chris**
I feel like there's a power that will let us
do something incredible if we connect.
**[12:04] Chris**
It's a world that will give me
that power... give me a heart.
**[12:09] Sofia**
A heart?
**[12:11] Sofia**
It's surprising to hear that from you.
**[12:15] Chris**
I want that heart.
**[12:17] Chris**
Sofia, I want your help.
**[12:20] Chris**
Please, help us.
**[12:23] Sofia**
* Hm... I do want to see what's*
* in store for the world you see.*
**[12:28] Riz**
What will you do?
**[12:29] Sofia**
*I'll need to come up with a way.*
**[12:32] Sofia**
But I'll try everything I can think of.
**[12:37] Ximena**
Zoe, I got a message from Sofia.
**[12:41] Zoe**
I have no reason to help PathTLive.
**[12:43] Ximena**
But...
**[12:44] Zoe**
But... I don't want to win
without even fighting.
**[12:49] Zoe**
That wouldn't be fun at all.

**[13:04] Jua**
Please! Give PathTLive more time!
**[13:09] Thea**
Something's happened to them.
**[13:13] Thea**
So we want you to either delay their
starting time, or set it on another day.
**[13:17] Auris**
Why would you want that?
**[13:20] Jua**
'Cause we're their friends!
**[13:25] Ximena**

**[13:26] Jessie**
X-Ximena...
**[13:28] Ximena**
I need your help!
**[13:29] Jessie**
What's going on?
**[13:31] Ximena**
Please, switch places with
PathTLive for their performance!
**[13:38] Jessie**
Unbe... lievable...
**[13:41] Halle**
I don't understand what's going on...
**[13:43] Ellie**
Please explain. Tell us what's happening.
**[13:46] Ximena**
We don't really understand ourselves,
**[13:49] Ximena**
but PathTLive is locked up somewhere,
**[13:51] Ximena**
and they're in big trouble!
**[13:53] Zoe**
You don't want to win without
battling them, right?
**[13:57] Sarah**
Miracle's unit is locked up?
**[14:00] Jessie**
I'm sorry, Ximena.
**[14:03] Jessie**
We've practiced this whole time with the
idea that we'd be performing tomorrow.
**[14:08] Ellie**
We can't change places now...
**[14:11] Sarah**
I'm sorry, but we're about to put the
final touches on our performance.
**[14:18] Sofia**
All the data inside ADEN is
being modified or deleted.
**[14:25] Sofia**
This algorithm... Could it be?
**[14:28] Jessie**
Anyway, we're going back to our lessons.
**[14:32] Ximena**
Jessie...
**[14:34] Niska**
May I say something?
**[14:36] Niska**
I want you all to listen to me.
**[14:39] Niska**
I was only able to come back
to BRT5 with everyone's help,
**[14:43] Niska**
including Miracle, Quan, and Ximena.
**[14:47] Niska**
If even one of them wasn't there,
I might not be here today.
**[14:51] Niska**
So I want to help the friends
who gave me what I have now.
**[14:55] Niska**
Tell me... am I wrong?
**[15:00] Jessie**
We only made it here because of PathTLive.
**[15:04] Halle**
They're rivals...
**[15:07] Sarah**
But they're also comrades,
who help us improve.
**[15:09] Ellie**
And if we were in their shoes...
**[15:13] Halle**
PathTLive would definitely
do it for us, right?
**[15:18] Niska**
I agree.
**[15:22] Niska**
Thanks.
**[15:24] Niska**
For telling us our friends are in trouble.
**[15:28] Niska**
Let's go.
**[15:29] Niska**
And change PathTLive's "now."

**[16:18] Halle**
I was just thinking that
we've really changed.
**[16:23] Sarah**
The old BRT5 would never
have been this nice, right?
**[16:28] Niska**
Yes, we've changed.
**[16:30] Niska**
But there are sights that only
those who have changed can see.
**[16:35] Jessie**
Yes, I don't mind the way
we've changed at all.
**[16:38] Jessie**
If anything, I'm proud.

Let's go see something incredible.
**[16:42] Niska**
Something we've never
been able to see before!
**[18:22] Jessie**
We all got to see something
incredible today!
**[18:25] Halle**
It was the absolute best we've ever done!
**[18:29] Jessie**
We'll always be together from now on, Niska.
**[18:33] Niska**
Yeah.

Sofia.

**[18:52] Noelle**
Really?
**[18:53] Sofia**
* I'm going to have you move*
* to a Linkverse I updated.*
**[18:57] Miracle**
An updated link...
**[19:01] Miracle**
I don't understand, but you
really are a genius, Sofia!
**[19:04] Sofia**
*Riz, can you hear me?*
**[19:06] Riz**
What?
**[19:06] Sofia**
*I need your help.*
**[19:08] Sofia**
I want you to rewrite your sector's code
to allow it to access my Linkverse.
**[19:14] Quan**
B-But...
**[19:16] Riz**
There's no other way?
**[19:18] Miracle**
Huh? What's going on?
**[19:21] Riz**
Listen to me carefully, Miracle.
**[19:24] Riz**
Rewriting this sector's
code means deleting it.
**[19:30] Chris**
Deleting it?
**[19:31] Miracle**
Wait, you can't do that!
**[19:34] Quan**
Miracle...
**[19:36] Miracle**
We have so many memories here...
**[19:40] Miracle**
You can't...

You can't do that!
