**[00:03] Miracle**
* "The unit battles have been*
* proceeding without a hitch,"*
**[00:05] Miracle**
*"and now it's our turn!"*
**[00:07] Quan**
* That's what we were thinking when*
* something terrible happened.*
**[00:10] Riz**
* The ADEN network came under cyberattack,*
* and data inside ADEN was deleted.*
**[00:17] Noelle**
* We'd almost finished our song,*
* but it was deleted.*
**[00:20] Noelle**
* And there was no time left*
* before our performance!*
**[00:23] Noelle**
*And then...*
**[00:25] Chris**
*BRT5 took our place.*
**[00:28] Quan**
* All that was left was to move*
* to the Linkverse Sofia created,*
**[00:31] Quan**
*and PathTLive would be able to perform.*
**[00:34] Miracle**
*But to do it, we'd have to...*
**[02:07] Miracle**
~Connection of Hope~
**[02:07] Miracle**
~Connection of Hope~
**[02:08] Sofia**
*I'll say it again.*
**[02:09] Sofia**
* To access my Linkverse, you'll need*
* to rewrite the code of that sector.*
**[02:16] Miracle**
But... if we do that...
**[02:19] Miracle**
this place will disappear.
**[02:25] Miracle**
I can't do that!
**[02:27] Miracle**
I have too many memories here!
**[02:31] Chris**
Let's think of another way.
**[02:34] Noelle**
Yeah. But...
**[02:38] Riz**
There's too little data to figure
out what the right answer is.
**[02:42] Riz**
But I can tell that the method
Sofia is offering us is the best one.
**[02:47] Riz**
* But I can tell that the method*
* Sofia is offering us is the best one.*
**[02:51] Miracle**
But... But...
**[02:57] Noelle**
Quan?
**[02:59] Quan**
I'll delete marumaru.
**[03:03] Quan**
Miracle's right.
**[03:05] Quan**
We have a lot of precious memories here.
**[03:11] Quan**
But... right now, those memories
are holding us back.
**[03:19] Miracle**
Wait, Quan. Stop—
**[03:29] Miracle**
No...
**[03:31] Miracle**
It's gone...
**[03:39] Quan**
Don't worry.
**[03:42] Quan**
It's right here.
**[03:46] Quan**
You can't see them.
You can't touch them.
**[03:49] Quan**
But that doesn't mean that
the memories disappear.
**[03:53] Quan**
Memories aren't things that hold us back.
**[03:58] Quan**
They're our friends,
encouraging us to move on.
**[04:01] Quan**
That's what I think.
**[04:03] Miracle**
Quan...
**[04:04] Noelle**
Quan's right!
**[04:07] Riz**
It's inside us, too!
**[04:13] Chris**
And inside you too, of course.
**[04:18] Miracle**
Of course! Of course it is!
**[04:25] Chris**
There, there.
**[04:27] Miracle**
Quan, I'm sorry!
**[04:29] Miracle**
It's my fault...
**[04:30] Miracle**
I made you do the most painful
thing you could do.
**[04:33] Miracle**
That marumaru avatar was precious to you.
**[04:39] Quan**
No, it's fine.
**[04:42] Chris**
There, there for you too, Quan.
**[04:46] Miracle**
But! But! But!
**[04:48] Miracle**
I need to apologize!
**[04:50] Miracle**
What do I do?
**[04:52] Quan**
I just said...
**[04:54] Chris**
Uncle. Uncle.
**[04:56] Noelle**
Quan, you need to say something
or she'll never stop.
**[05:02] Quan**
Okay...
**[05:05] Quan**
Buy me some fortune takoyaki later.
**[05:08] Miracle**
As many as you want!
**[05:09] Miracle**
I'll give you 100 heart ones!
**[05:11] Riz**
No, probabilistically speaking,
that's impossible!
**[05:14] Miracle**
I'll raise the probability with spirit!
**[05:16] Noelle**
"Spirit"?
**[05:18] Riz**
But, well...
**[05:19] Chris**
I think Miracle could do it!
**[05:29] Quan**
Miracle...
**[05:30] Miracle**
Yeah.
**[05:32] Miracle**
We'll leave this place and give
the best performance ever!
**[05:36] All**
Yeah!
**[05:39] Riz**
Okay, here goes!
**[05:43] Sofia**
Alright.
**[05:46] Jua**
I was so nervous!
**[05:49] Sarah**
Now they'll make it in
time for the performance.
**[05:52] Jessie**
Of course.
**[05:53] Jessie**
That's why we switched places with them.
**[06:02] Sofia**
*Good, Riz.*
**[06:03] Sofia**
Keep it up.
**[06:05] Riz**
Just a little more... a little more...
**[06:08] Sofia**
The sector code rewrite is...
**[06:12] Riz**
...all done!
**[06:15] Sofia**
*Okay!*
**[06:16] Riz**
Perfect!
**[06:18] Miracle**
Yay!
**[06:19] Riz**
Now we just access Sofia's Linkverse...
**[06:25] Riz**
What?
**[06:29] Riz**
*Sofia?!*
**[06:30] Sofia**
I'm on it!
**[06:31] Sofia**
*But...*
**[06:34] Miracle**
Chris!
**[06:39] Quan**
Miracle!
**[06:41] Sofia**
*No... I can't stop it!*
**[06:43] Sofia**
* Some kind of code is starting*
* to delete its own contract!*
**[06:50] Sofia**
It's going faster than before!
**[06:53] Ximena**
Is everything okay?
**[06:54] Sofia**
Not so much.
**[06:56] Sofia**
I hate to say it, but I can't keep up!
**[06:59] Sofia**
I need to find some way
to go faster than it.
**[07:02] Sofia**
No, that's not it.
**[07:03] Sofia**
I don't need to go faster. I need to...
**[07:08] Sofia**
VICONIC! BRT5!
**[07:12] Niska**
What?
**[07:13] Sofia**
*Can you come here?*
**[07:16] Sofia**
I'm sure you all saw, but...
**[07:17] Jua**
PathTLive is in big trouble, right?
**[07:21] Sofia**
A sector code rewrite wasn't enough
to get them to my Linkverse.
**[07:28] Jessie**
So what do we do?
**[07:30] Sofia**
I want data that won't lose to
the code that's attacking ADEN.
**[07:34] Sofia**
No, not "won't lose"...
**[07:36] Sofia**
Data that can keep fighting.
**[07:38] Sofia**
Data that will never stop.
**[07:40] Sofia**
That's what I need.
**[07:42] Jessie**
What does that mean?
**[07:44] Thea**
But where would you...
**[07:46] Niska**
I see.
**[08:02] Miracle**
Quan! Chris!
**[08:06] Miracle**
Noelle! Riz!
**[08:11] Miracle**
Where did everybody go?
**[08:13] Miracle**
Why?
**[08:14] Miracle**
We were all about to do the best
performance ever as PathTLive...
**[08:45] Miracle**
What do I do? What am I supposed to do?
**[08:50] Miracle**
I'm scared.
**[09:04] Noelle**
I just heard something.
**[09:08] Riz**
This is...
**[09:09] Miracle**
Music!
**[10:14] Quan**
BRT5!
**[10:21] Sofia**
Yeah. Keep it up.
**[11:50] Chris**
VICONIC.
**[11:55] Miracle**
Jua... Thea...
**[12:04] Sofia**
The thing which guides you...
**[12:06] Sofia**
which never stops.
**[12:08] Sofia**
It's...
**[12:09] Sofia**
Our music, which is connected to you!
**[13:38] Riz**
3DM8...
**[13:54] Niska**
Come here!
**[13:55] Jua**
Take...
**[13:57] Sofia**
...our hands!
**[14:11] Miracle**
No.
**[14:12] Quan**
Not this way!
**[14:14] Chris**
Everyone is...
**[14:15] Noelle**
The path we need to follow is...
**[14:19] Riz**
This way!
**[14:46] Miracle**
Um, where are we?
**[14:49] Riz**
Sofia's Linkverse.
**[14:51] Noelle**
So it worked. I'm so glad.
**[14:56] Miracle**
Everyone worked together to bring us here!
**[14:59] Quan**
It's strange...
**[15:01] Quan**
It's an empty world, just like
the one we were in before,
**[15:04] Quan**
but I'm not scared.
**[15:07] Chris**
Because we connected with everyone?
**[15:09] Noelle**
Yes. We connected with
VICONIC, 3DM8, and BRT5,
**[15:12] Noelle**
but we didn't connect with everything.
**[15:15] Noelle**
Some people we couldn't connect with...
**[15:17] Riz**
But that's why we meet other people.
**[15:22] Noelle**
And there are times when you can feel like you've
connected with someone by saying goodbye.
**[15:26] Chris**
There are so many different ways
to feel and interpret things.
**[15:29] Riz**
And everything is always changing shape.
**[15:34] Miracle**
Every second, we're becoming
someone different.
**[15:39] Chris**
That's what this world is.
**[15:41] Chris**
You can be anything, and do anything.
**[15:44] Miracle**
Right?
**[15:46] Riz**
Which means...
**[15:48] Riz**
There's no reason to just sit around
in this Linkverse forever, right?
**[15:52] Noelle**
Feeling a rivalry towards Sofia?
**[15:54] Riz**
I'm not sure I'm ready to be
called her rival, actually.
**[15:58] Quan**
Let's go.
**[16:00] Chris**
The music is playing inside our hearts.
**[16:04] Miracle**
We didn't need to look for it.
**[16:06] Miracle**
Our sound was right here!
**[16:09] All**
Yeah!
**[16:13] Miracle**
PathTLive...
**[16:15] All**
Go!
**[17:54] Ada**
A thing which is not individual,
and yet is individual.
**[17:56] Ada**
I'm surprised to see such a thing being born.
**[18:00] Ada**
But... it is also the birth of
something which could be dangerous.
**[18:05] Ada**
Now, can you predict the kind
of future this will lead to?
**[18:16] Auris**
I see...
**[18:17] Auris**
This is the possibility that
connects the world...
**[18:20] Auris**
A fragment of her feelings... isn't it?
**[18:39] Auris**
Excellent work, everyone.
**[18:42] Auris**
Thank you for overcoming those unexpected
difficulties and delivering an excellent performance.
**[18:48] Auris**
ADEN is currently rebuilding
the damaged areas.
**[18:51] Vanitys**
Vani! Vani! Vani! Vani!
**[18:51] Auris**
It will be back to normal by morning.
**[18:54] Auris**
I apologize for the trouble.
**[18:57] Auris**
Now, that concludes the last
of our unit performances.
**[19:02] Auris**
I will now announce the winners of the
Virtual Grid Awards main event unit battle!
**[19:15] Auris**
VICONIC,
**[19:17] Auris**
3DM8,
**[19:19] Auris**
BRT5,
**[19:21] Auris**
PathTLive.
**[19:23] Auris**
The winners of this battle, who will
be going onstage at the VGAs...
