Red Battle[]

Opening[]

Narrator: The 22nd Century. Mankind succeeds in understanding the theory of magic, and thus unlocks limitless energy. Their glory reaches for a peak. But antagonism still remains behind the glory, and eventually, that creates the forbidden living weapon, Gears. The rebellion of the Gears thrusts mankind into an unending war. A.D. 2173. Mankind's protector, the Holy Order, is handed a crushing defeat at the Battle of Rome. The spirit of man suffers a great fall with the death of the Order's Ky Kiske. Then, in A.D. 2183... mankind's remnants are limited to just a few airships and underground shelters... ["Feedback" plays.] Guilty Gear XX Drama CD Side Black. Red Battle, second part.

Doctor's Visit[]

Shelter

[Sound of steps in a desserted area.]

Guard: Something's coming... Hey! It's a person! A person!

Guard #2: It's been five years...

Guard: S-Stop there!

Guard #2: You... Who are you?

Baldhead: [stops] A traveling doctor. I'm called Baldhead.

Guard: A doctor, you say!? Great! Open the gate! [Gate opens. Sound of steps inside shelter.] So, what's it like outside? Is the war over?

Guard #2: Please tell us!

Baldhead: Unfortunately, the war still continues... but everyone is still living to their fullest.

Guard: I see... Well, please have a rest! We'll have a welcome party later.

Baldhead: ["Suspicious Cook" plays.] Not at all! There are probably people suffering at this instant. If it's okay with you, I'd like to start the examination...

Guard: Thank you. Then please come with me. I'll introduce you to everybody.

Baldhead: Then, let us hurry... Ah, now that you mention it... Your spine is crooked. It must be hard to stand, yes?

Guard: Huh? Well, yeah...

Baldhead: Then, let me fix you up...

Guard: Thank you for the thought, but there are more seriously ill people inside. We should go there fi...

Baldhead: Not at all, don't be shy! It's time for an operation, let's do an operation!

Guard: Hey, what are you doing... A-augh! [Unpleasant sound.]

Guard #2: What the hell are you doing?!

Baldhead: Oh, and you have eye strain! Hey, don't run away! Haha! [Blade sounds.]

Guard: Augh! My eyes! My eyes!

Baldhead: Are there any more sick people here?! Here I come!! [Blades again; bodies fall with death screams.] Hahahaha! [pants] Come on... any more patients? It's not good to hide!! If I don't fix you up it'll be very scary later...!

I-No: Oh? A doctor, eh...

Baldhead: Over there, over there! Young miss, you... oh... just about everything is wrong with you! Let me start by fixing up your heart and mind...!

I-No: What shall I do? Such a bother...

Baldhead: This might hurt a little, so no need to hold back! Heheh... Begin operation!! ["Kagematsuri" plays, then battle sounds.] Urgh!

I-No: Oh? You dropped something. [picks up papers] What could it be? Oh... this is...

Baldhead: That's a medical fee... medical fee~! There were some soldiers suffering so I put them to rest!

I-No: Huh... So basically you enjoyed the pitifulness of the dead? I'll put you to rest! [attacks]

Baldhead: [yells]

I-No: Ah. Your weapon was big, but you can't measure up to me. [Sound of propellers amidst wind.] Huh? A Holy Order airship... Good timing.

Mankind's Defeat[]

Holy Order Airship

[Potemkin knocks on the door.]

Sol: Shut up...

Potemkin: [outside] I'm coming in, Commander. [opens and closes door, then approaches with heavy footsteps] Commander. The tactical unit has finished making plans. [hands him a document]

Sol: I see...

Potemkin: They would like your opinion on it...

Sol: Tch. [turns the pages]

Potemkin: Well?

Sol: This is just buying time. Troops will die, and that's that.

Potemkin: Buying time is all we can do. It can't be helped.

Sol: What about intelligence? Have they found the Gear Production Plant yet?

Potemkin: We have a scout unit on reconnaissance.

Sol: ...I'm going.

Potemkin: We can't have you leaving now, sir. I can't allow it.

Sol: Are you telling us to lay down and die? Dammit... This is the kind of stuff that kid liked...

Potemkin: Don't say it... [sigh] We begin the attack in an hour. Please say something to the troops.

Sol: You do it. [walks away]

Potemkin: Hey, wait! [door opens]

Reunion[]

Airship -- Deck

Sol: Dammit...

I-No: It's been awhile! Do you remember me?

Sol: You--!

I-No: You've certainly climbed up in the world. You look a little haggard, though.

Sol: Yah! [attacks]

I-No: Such a rough greeting.

Sol: Did you come to die? Where were you?! ...Ky was looking for you until the end! [attacks]

I-No: Won't you let me ask something?

Sol: How'd you get in?

I-No: Oh, getting into a place like this is no problem. And anyway, I brought something nice for you.

Sol: What?

I-No: This. [shows papers]

Sol: That's... the intelligence group's...!

I-No: A dying soldier said I should get this to you no matter what. Well?

Sol: Hand it over!

I-No: No need to rush things... Here. [hands papers over]

Sol: Wait... How'd you get this?

I-No: I don't like explaining bothersome things. Ciao! [leaves]

Sol: Damn!

Order's Leader[]

Airship -- Meeting Room

Sol: ...and that's the story. The Plant is located here. Check on it.

Potemkin: What happened to that "I-No"?

Sol: Got away. Jumped off the deck.

Potemkin: Can't trust that...

Sol: Don't say it. Just confirm it.

Potemkin: I know. There's no doubt that this letter is real. It's from the intelligence unit.

Sol: I see.

Potemkin: What will we do?

Sol: It's obvious. An all-out attack.

Potemkin: Shall we call the reserves?

Sol: Don't need them. If I lose this fight, it's all over.

Potemkin: That might be true, but this might be a trap.

Sol: Use your head.

Potemkin: I guess Gears would have no reason to lay traps for men. They have so many troops. But even so--

Sol: That's enough.

Potemkin: Understood. We'll head for those coordinates.

Sol: Wake me up when we get there.

Potemkin: Do what you want.

[Airship changes course.]

Mother Justice[]

Gear Plant

Testament: Damnable humans. They are finally headed here.

Dizzy: What's the situation?

Testament: The entire Holy Order fleet is gathering. This is what you would call all-out war.

Dizzy: What about our lineup?

Testament: We have seven flying-type, and 2400 independent Gears. All together, it's seven times the enemy's strength.

Dizzy: I shall go as well.

Testament: There is no need for that...

Dizzy: Let us be careful. We shall end the long battle here.

Testament: Understood. Let us make this the demise of mankind!

Dizzy: Mankind has injured this Earth too much. They must have the judgment of justice. Justice-sama... I take my leave.

Battle Begins[]

Airship -- Meeting Room

Sol: What's the situation?

Potemkin: The info was correct, at least. There's a sickening number of Gears...

Officer: We've confirmed seven flying-types, and for the regular types... unable to count! Probably more than a thousand!

Sol: Easy battle.

Potemkin: What?

Sol: It means no need to aim.

Potemkin: I see. Did you hear that?

Officer: Sir! Opening all cannons!

Sol: Ugh...! [falls to his knees] What...?

Potemkin: Sir, what's wrong...? Your headgear!

Dizzy: [outside] So there you were... filthy traitor!

Officer: Sir, are you all right?

Sol: [pained] All ships, deploy...

Potemkin: To all ships: Deploy. Repeat. Deploy!

Officer: Understood! We'll deploy as well!

Dizzy: [ouside] Gamma Ray! [Destruction. Knights yell and alarms trigger.]

Potemkin: What was that...? Report on the fleet!

Officer: With that attack, 50% of the fleet has been destroyed!

Potemkin: Impossible!

Sol: I'm leaving this to you!

Potemkin: What! Where are you going at a time like this!?

Sol: This battle... Dizzy's here.

Potemkin: I see... That attack just now... I see!

Sol: If we get her... The war is over.

Potemkin: Understood. I will take command.

Sol: [to himself] Dizzy... Just you wait. [leaves]

Revenge Seekers[]

Airship

Potemkin: ["Bloodstained Lineage plays.] To all remaining troops. Contact the other ships.

Officer: Understood. Message from the Jellyfish. Connecting...

May: [via comm] This is the Jellyfish... come in!

Potemkin: This is the leader of the remaining troops, Potemkin. I am glad that you survived.

May: [via comm] Leave it to us! We'll take out as many as we can.

Potemkin: Okay. The Jellyfish will head...

Testament: [attacks from outside] Hahahaha! [Destruction. Knight yells.]

Potemkin: You...!

Officer: You--! [Shots. Glass shatters. Yelling.]

Potemkin: Retreat, everyone!

Testament: Huh, he isn't here? Well, whatever! Take this... Exe Beast!

Potemkin: The [?]-type Gear... It actually exists.

Testament: [?] disturbance-type? Not really... I'm you human's worst nightmare!

Potemkin: The dream is over... This battle is now.

Testament: That's right. The dream known as mankind will now disappear from this earth!

Potemkin: Like I'll let you! Magnum Opera!

Testament: Try and stop me... Nightmare Circular!

Mayship

April: [to comm] Come in, main ship! Come in!

May: How is it?

April: ...No response. It looks like they got even to the center.

May: Then, we just have to work by ourselves...

April: Yeah... then, captain!

May: ["Noontide" plays.] The Jellyfish fleet will now attack the enemy's main camp! Full speed! Ready the cannons! Follow me!

April: Full speed, ready cannons! Follow me!

May: If we win, tomorrow is waiting for us! If we lose... Johnny is waiting for us! If one falls, the rest continue! Now, let's go everyone!

Gear Maker[]

Gear Plant -- Underground

[Sounds of war, like explosions and screams.]

I-No: Looks like everything's started above. And now nobody's here... [walks through a corridor with water on the ground] I heard he was here... Oh, over there?

That Man: [in chains] Dizzy?

I-No: I'm a human, you know. Human. I wanted to see you. ...Don't move. [attacks]

That Man: [chains clatter] It seems I must thank you.

I-No: Such a stoneface, eh? Despite being the revolutionary...

That Man: What do you know?

I-No: I was hoping for more. The twisted creator of this lovely world. The man who created Gears. I thought you'd be living like a king here. To think that you're here as a prisoner... The dog bit the hand that fed it, I see?

That Man: I have no control over Gears. Everything is going not to plan.

I-No: Huh, what a boring guy...

That Man: This world is not what I wished for. This world is not what I created Gears for.

I-No: Spare me the crybaby talk! [sigh] That's it, huh.

That Man: Why did you come here?

I-No: I got bored. Bored of this world... Thought I'd meet you and make it Game Over.

That Man: Game Over? Congratulations on the ending. What are you aiming for?

I-No: It should be obvious: recreation! Recreation. This is a stage... There's such a thing called a role. Trash should be stepped on like trash, and those with power bathe in the spotlight, burning. Come now, everyone... The show is about to begin.

That Man: Hm?

Game Over[]

Battleground

["Awe Of She" plays.]

Dizzy: You traitor! Why do you help mankind?!

Sol: That's my line. Unlike Justice, your heart should be free. So why!? Why do you kill?

Dizzy: Don't talk about mother so easily! You... I'll kill you!

Sol: A kid's crying, huh.

Dizzy: What did you say!?

Mayship

May: There! Open the cannons! Full assault!

Battleground

Dizzy: Insects!

Mayship

May: For Johnny's revenge...!

[Cannons fire on Dizzy and Sol's location.]

Battleground

["The Midnight Carnival" plays.]

Dizzy: Foolish ones... Humans are parasites that consume this planet!

Sol: This little brat... Destroying people just because she's irritated. Can't save you now. Now you die. Dragon Install!

Dizzy: You're jealous of mother! Be crushed!

Sol: Volcanic Viper!

Gear Plant

I-No: Whoa, amazing!

That Man: It's unprotected. The hope of the world... is fading.

I-No: Huh... So where's that glorious hope?

That Man: Fate was against me. So is this the will of god? Perhaps the world will be saved after all.

I-No: The will of god? You talking about the survival of the fittest?

That Man: It's nothing as good-sounding as that. Survival of the fittest is no more than a realization. I believed that this ugly future was all that we could offer up to god.

I-No: Haha! Sounds great... You're interesting after all. I'll fix it up for you, but... the stage has to be flashier.

That Man: What are you saying?

I-No: It's troublesome so I can't do it very often, but I can change the past.

That Man: Violate causality? Don't joke. It's impossible to create such a paradox on an individual, observable level.

I-No: I don't bother with the theory. Just you watch. [opens portal]

That Man: This is... This power is... temporal change!

I-No: See you later. Be back soon!

Take Two[]

Battle of Rome

I-No: Now, this is... the Battle of Rome, ten years ago. What great timing.

["Holy Orders (Be Just Or Be Dead)" plays.]

Ky: [tired] Needle Spike! Keh, I've made it this far... Just five more minutes... Ride the Lightning! [keeps attacking] A large-type Gear, here...! Is I-No-san... safe...? I'm not done! [is hit] Gah! Are you my death god...? God, by your grace, please save my future! Holy Order Technique, Zwei Voltage!

I-No: Aha, found him!

Ky: Holy Order Technique, Zwei Voltage! [attacks]

I-No: [also attacks the Gear] I'll make you scream...

Ky: I-No-san! You were over here...?

I-No: It's been ten years, boy!

Ky: Huh?

I-No: Don't worry! Just forget about me.

Ky: What--? ["Holy Orders" stops. Rumbling sounds.]

Sol: Where'd that bastard go? Trash... move aside. [A roar.] Move aside! Tyrant Rave! [approaches Ky] Came to pick you up.

Ky: Sol...?

Sol: This... Did you do this?

Ky: Huh? Y-yeah... Looks like it.

Sol: Yeesh. Don't fiddle around. We're done here. Time to retreat!

Ky: R-Right... I got it. Heh...

Sol: What are you worrying about now?

Ky: Ah, nothing. If you're here, I feel safe.

Sol: Tch. such a carefree guy.

???

I-No: Let's see. Will history change for me now?

That Man: Woman from the future... History certainly changed today. With Ky Kiske as its leader, the Holy Order will be able to serve as the shield for mankind. With that shield, Frederick... no... Sol Badguy, with the Order, will be able to destroy the foundation of the Gears. Now the pieces are set.

I-No: Then, will you show me? The world you hope for.

That Man: I will use all my strength. I may need your strength as well.

I-No: Then... As you command.

That Man: And now time continues to flow... The power of humans, and the power of Gears, uncrossing, shall flow together...

Narrator: A.D. 2181. Mankind is victorious over the Gears thanks to the Holy Order under the leadership of the genius knight, Ky Kiske. The path to glory is open once again. However, the fact that there was a little historical intervention in that glory is known only to a few... And so, time flows on.

Reality 2.0[]

???

Dizzy: Kyaah! What are you doing?

I-No: Oh, such a cute scream! Won't you let me hear it some more? [shreds her guitar]

Dizzy: Kyah! Please stop... ["Till Next Time" plays.] I can't hold back any longer...

I-No: It's for him, you know... You're a bother. Won't you disappear?

Dizzy: That's...

I-No: Not very obedient. You're just a bunch of noise!

Dizzy: Kyaah!

Ky: [prepares blade] Wait!

I-No: Oh? And why are you here?

Ky: Even if your opponent is a wanted person, I can't accept that behavior!

I-No: Protecting a bounty? Do you understand what you're doing?

Ky: Even if mankind has several paths, I only have one. And if there is grace in that, then God shall save me!

I-No: God? Justice? Hahahah!

Ky: What's so funny?

I-No: I see. So the one that saved you is God. That's a good one.

Ky: Here I come!

I-No: Revolting against God? How foolish. Die! [attacks]

Letter[]

Opening[]

Narrator: Guilty Gear XX Drama CD Side Black. Letter.

Dizzy's Letter[]

Dizzy: How are you? It's Dizzy. When I sit here and write this letter to you, I can't help thinking "I've come so far~" It's already been three months since I've joined this ship. Since then, we've been traveling around the world. To think the world was this big... I had no idea being in that forest. There are things I'm still not used to yet, but I'm happy. And this is all thanks to you.

Jellyfish Pirates[]

May Ship

May: Hey, hey, Dizzy! What are you writing? Hey, a letter!

Dizzy: M-May! You can't look!

May: If it's a letter, want me to send it for you?

Dizzy: No, I'll send it myself. It's my day off, so...

May: I see. So you're going out!

Dizzy: Yes...

May: Mm, will you be okay by yourself? Shall I go, too?

Johnny: Heeeey! You've got work to do, don't you?

May: Eheh... I got caught.

Johnny: Yeesh. So, Dizzy.

Dizzy: Yes?

Johnny: Who is that letter to?

Dizzy: U-um... It's a secret.

Johnny: Uh, I see, I see. Secrets, secrets. Well, a good woman must have a hundred, a thousand... maybe ten-thousand secrets.

Dizzy: Hundred? Thousand? Ten-thousand?

Johnny: Never mind that. Speaking of secrets... Dizzy, just make sure you don't show your true self, eh? After all, we're pirates.

Dizzy: Right. I'll be careful.

Johnny: Sorry for the domestic talk. It's your vacation after all. Go and spread your wings!

Dizzy: Okay! [spread her wings]

May: Wow! Always such pretty wings every time I see them. Can I touch them?

Dizzy: That tickles!

Johnny: No, no, that's not what I meant. Just go and have a good time.

Dizzy: S-Sorry!

Johnny: *sigh* Do you have your allowance? Toothbrush? Change of clothes?

Dizzy: I'll be okay. I have everything.

Johnny: Then, there's just one thing left...

Johnny & May: Have a good trip!

Dizzy: Thanks! I'm leaving!

Departure[]

May Ship

April: Ah, Dizzy! You're going below, right? We'll send out a message.

Dizzy: April-san! ...No. I'll just fly down.

April: What will you do if somebody sees you? It'll be bad if people find out.

Dizzy: That's right...

April: I'll lend you a disguise! Here's some glasses... and a wig! Try putting it on!

Dizzy: ...Does it suit me?

April: Yeah, perfect! Now nobody will know who you are.

Dizzy: Thanks.

April: Oh, and gotta hide your wings and tail too... Okay, go on, go on! [Sometime later.] "Then, miss, where to?" ...or something like that.

Dizzy: To the south, please.

April: Okay, let's go!

Near village

April: Here we are! Are you sure this little village is okay? There's nothing here...

Dizzy: It's fine. This place is nostalgic for me. I'll stay the night here.

April: I see... Well, we'll pick you up here, okay?

Dizzy: Yes.

April: Then, see you tomorrow!

Dizzy: Bye! [May Ship flies away.] Is he still here...?

Village Rumor[]

Inn

Dizzy: [enters] Excuse me!

Innkeep: Welcome, pretty lady!

Dizzy: I'd like a room for the night...

Innkeep: Just for tonight?

Dizzy: Eh?

Innkeep: Our village is having a big meeting tomorrow, so... I've been expecting reservations.

Dizzy: I see. Well, I'm going home tomorrow, so... just tonight is fine.

Innkeep: Okay! Please write your name down here.

Dizzy: (Name? It'd probably be bad putting down 'Dizzy'. Alright, I'll write 'May'!)

Innkeep: Oh, May-san is it? What are you doing in a village like this?

Dizzy: Just looking around for some things.

Innkeep: In a run-down village like this? Well, okay... It's best not to get too close to the forest.

Dizzy: Eh?

Innkeep: They say it's the Forest of Demons... That monsters have been living there for a long time.

Dizzy: I-I see...

Innkeep: It's not just a rumor, you know? A while back a bunch of bounty hunters gathered there. It was a big uproar. Well, I won't go into the messy details... Just don't get too close, miss.

Dizzy: O-Okay. I'll be careful.

Ky: [enters] Excuse me. Are you the owner?

Innkeep: Welcome! Staying the night?

Ky: No. I am Ky Kiske of the International Police.

Dizzy: (Oh no! What shall I do?)

Innkeep: We're not doing anything the police would be interested in.

Ky: There is a report that a bandit group is lurking around here. If you know anything, perhaps I can ask for your cooperation?

Innkeep: Bandits? No clue! If you're not a customer, please leave.

Ky: Excuse me. Oh miss, are you visiting here?

Dizzy: Y-yes. (Good, it looks like he didn't notice. Of course! I'm wearing a disguise.)

Ky: A young lady travelling alone can be dangerous. May I escort you?

Dizzy: No, I'll be fine. Thank you.

Ky: I see. Well, as I said before there are rumors that an illegal bandit group will appear around here... Please be careful.

Dizzy: Yes, I'll be careful. (Bandits? That's worrying...)

Bakery

Baker: Welcome! How are you, miss? We just baked up another batch of bread.

Dizzy: Wow, it looks delicious! Can I have two of those over there? I'll make a lunch out of it.

Baker: A lunch, eh? Shall I make it a sandwich?

Dizzy: Ah, yes please. Potato salad then, please.

Baker: Okay! Two potato salad sandwiches.

Dizzy: And... um...

Baker: Yes? You're cute, so I'll add on something extra for ya.

Dizzy: Um... I heard that a bandit group will appear around here...

Baker: Bandits? [nervous] Haha... um... We don't have anything like that in our village.

Dizzy: I see. Sorry for bringing up something weird.

Baker: Not at all. As long as you understand, it's alright. Here ya go.

Dizzy: Um, I haven't paid yet...

Baker: Money? Uh... Sorry, I was distracted. [receives her money] Okay, there we go.

Dizzy: Thanks. [leaves] (He was shaking... There must be a bandit group coming after all. What shall I do? I can't just ignore these people and go home. I know I could take on a group by myself, but...)

Johnny: [flashback] (Just make sure you don't show your true self, eh?)

Dizzy: (...I can't. If I do that, I'll reveal myself. What should I do...? Maybe he'll know.)

Reunion[]

Forest of Demons

Dizzy: I wonder... Is he still here?

Dizzy: Testament-san! Testament-san!

Testament: [harsh] Who are you? This is not a place for humans to draw near.

Dizzy: Testament-san! It's me. Me!

Testament: What?

Dizzy: Huh? Oh, that's right, I'm in disguise... How's this? [takes off glasses and wig]

Testament: Dizzy!

Dizzy: Don't say you don't recognize me now!

Testament: [softer] Hey, you can't blame it all on me. Have you grown a bit taller?

Dizzy: Maybe so. Testament-san... It's been a while.

Testament: Yes. Welcome home, Dizzy.

[Later, they're walking around.]

Dizzy: Testament-san, have you been in this forest all this time?

Testament: I swore to always protect this forest. I have no reason to leave anyway.

Dizzy: I'm happy, but... Aren't you lonely?

Testament: Did you come all this way just to worry about me? And anyway, did something happen with you?

Dizzy: Um... I'm on vacation, so I just dropped by.

Testament: I see. Thanks for coming. I can't do much for you, but please relax here for a bit.

Dizzy: I was planning on that, so I brought some lunch. Please do.

Testament: Thank you.

Dizzy: I'll pour some tea for you.

[Later, after lunch.]

Dizzy: That was delicious.

Testament: ...Are you worrying about something?

Dizzy: Yes. It seems that the nearby village will be under attack by bandits.

Testament: Oh? That's the first I've heard of it.

Dizzy: I'd like to help them, but if I reveal myself, it'll be a problem for everybody in the crew.

Testament: I'd be glad to help, but it would mean bloodshed. This is not a body that can hold back.

Dizzy: W-Well, it's not like we know for certain the bandits are bad people...

Testament: I think banditry is a bad thing. Not something I can really say as a Gear, but...

Dizzy: Our crew... does it a lot, um, banditry, that is...

Testament: Haha! That's true. But anyway... I can't help.

Dizzy: I see. That's true... Sorry.

Testament: No need to apologize. All you have to do is do what you think is right.

Dizzy: But then everybody in the crew...

Testament: Even if your crew kicks you out, you can always come back here. There is always a place for you.

Dizzy: Thanks. I think everybody will forgive me, though.

Testament: Then there's no problem.

Dizzy: You think so?

Testament: Whether to believe the Jellyfish... That's for you to decide.

Dizzy: I think I understand. And also, Testament... Here. A letter.

Testament: A letter?

Dizzy: I've been writing it for awhile. There's no address here so I couldn't send it, though.

Testament: Thank you. This is quite long.

Dizzy: I've been writing for a long time.

Testament: I see.

Dizzy: Then... I'll go now.

Testament: Have a safe trip.

Dizzy: [stops] Um... Testament?

Testament: What?

Dizzy: I'm going to keep on writing letters, so... I'd be happy if you lived somewhere where I could send them.

Testament: Heh. I'll think about it. Farewell.

Premonition of Attack[]

Village Inn -- Next Morning

Innkeep: May-san, breakfast is ready. [No response.] May-san? It's time for breakfast. May-san? Wake up please!

Dizzy: [still in bed] May...? ...That's me! Yes! I'm getting up!

[Goes to the dining room.]

Dizzy: Wow, such a delicious-looking stew!

Innkeep: Heh. We're a poor village, but we can do this much. Go on, please eat before it gets too cold.

Dizzy: Okay! Thank you the meal! [takes a bite] It's delicious! [finishes her plate] That was delicious.

Innkeep: Sorry to rush you, but there is a meeting today. Could I ask you to leave early?

Dizzy: Understood. What kind of meeting?

Innkeep: Um... Just with the next village... you know...

Dizzy: The policeman said bandits, didn't he?

Innkeep: May-san... There are things in this world it's better off not knowing. Please, leave here quickly.

Dizzy: Okay...

Village -- Outside Inn

Dizzy: (Why do they hide it? Maybe they've taken hostages? Then I've got to take care of them quickly... Won't anybody tell me...?)

Girl: Mommy, they're coming today, right?

Dizzy: Um... Who is coming?

Girl: Don't you know? There's this really large ship, and it comes flying and... [gets a tap] Ow!

Mom: Geez! What are you saying?

Dizzy: Please, wait!

Mom: [harsh] Who are you?

Dizzy: ...A-A traveler.

Mom: Today is an important meeting for us, so we don't like outsiders here. Please leave quickly!

Dizzy: Sorry...

[Mother and daughter leave.]

Village -- ???

Dizzy: (What should I do? I got chased out, but it seems the bandits will come today. I need a plan...)

Girl: Oh, it's you!

Dizzy: You're that girl...

Girl: My mom got angry at me earlier because of you.

Dizzy: I'm sorry! But she got angry at me too, so we're in it together.

Girl: You're right...

Dizzy: So... you said 'they' are coming today, right? Could you tell me who?

Girl: Hmm, what should I do? [notices Dizzy's bag] Hey, that looks delicious!

Dizzy: This sandwich? I only have one left, but I'll be glad to share half with you.

Girl: Okay, half! [takes it]

Dizzy: Ah! You took it all, didn't you.

Girl: *gobble* [eats all] That was delicious! Okay, ask me anything.

Dizzy: Geez. Then... Where do the bandits come from?

Girl: From a big ship in the sky! They come sliding down on ropes.

Dizzy: (An airship? If there are hostages, the villagers can't do a thing. If I'm going to attack, it's while they're coming down...) What's their manpower?

Girl: Manpower?

Dizzy: I mean, how many people usually come?

Girl: Hmm... About 10 people come down.

Dizzy: (Ten people take control of the village... I wonder if they're well-trained.) And when do they come?

Girl: Right now!

[Airship approaches.]

Dizzy: Eh?

Girl: Look, there!

Dizzy: Okay! Wait here! I'll take care of the bandits! [flies away]

Girl: Oh miss! You've got wings!?

Village -- Air

Dizzy: Johnny-san, sorry! You'll forgive me, right?

Battle[]

Airship -- Outside

Dizzy: They're here. To anybody who would hurt that cheerful village, they get this! Undine! [attacks]

Airship -- Interior

April: An attack? Where from!?

May: The ship won't hold. Evacuate!

April: Wait! Evacuate!? [Rumbling.] Kyaaaah! [falls off the airship]

May: April! What did you do to my friend!?

Dizzy: [outside] Please surrender, I don't want to hurt you!

May: I'm afraid I can't do that! We have a duty here. Mr. Dolphin! [Dolphin sounds.]

Dizzy: That won't work! [evades it]

May: What!? Guruguru Attack!

Dizzy: So strong, flying in the sky even without wings... Here I come!

May: Come on!

[Dizzy and May exchange attacks.]

May: Ow!

Dizzy: Dodge this one!

May: Man, this one's all over the place...

Dizzy: Imperial Ray! [attacks] ...I held back. Please, draw back from this village.

May: Ow, ow, ow. And who are you?

Johnny: That's something I want to know, too. Huh? You're--!

Dizzy: Johnny-san! Huh? May?!

May: "May?" That voice is... Dizzy!? What are you doing here?

Dizzy: Huh? Huh? Then the person who fell earlier...

Dizzy & May: April!

Ground

April: Kyaaaah! [falls on a tree] Ugh... I thought I was going to die...

Festival[]

Village

May: I see! You thought the village was going to be under attack by bandits!

Dizzy: Yeah...

May: Well, it happens! Huh? Didn't I tell you? We always split our spoils with needy villages like this one.

Dizzy: I'll remember it...

April: [via loudspeaker] Hello! The Jellyfish has come again this year! We've brought plenty of food and clothes! Please take it with you!

May: April, can I have that a sec?

April: Huh? What's wrong?

May: [via loudspeaker] Ahem, test, test... Everyone, I'll introduce our newest member! She just joined this year... Dizzy!

Dizzy: Um... Nice to meet you! I'll do my best!

Mom: You're... that girl from earlier?

Dizzy: Yes...

Mom: Oh, so you're with the crew! Sorry about earlier!

Dizzy: No, I misunderstood earlier.

Mom: The crew is always a big help to us. Ten years ago, during the Crusades, our village was under attack by Gears. The person who saved us was your captain! He's always been such a nice man!

Dizzy: Y-yeah. That's true.

Mom: Now we're doing things, too... The crew helps us move things from village to village.

Dizzy: I see...

Girl: Hey, Dizzy-oneechan! Show me your wings! Your wings!

Mom: Hey! Don't be so rude!

Dizzy: No, it's all right! Here... [spreads wings so the girl can touch them] That tickles!

Mom: Geez...

Epilogue[]

Village

Testament: She makes me worry.

Johnny: Hehe. Just you look. Isn't she fitting in well?

Testament: I must thank you.

Johnny: It doesn't make me that happy when men thank me. ...Anyway, just how long are you planning to stay here?

Testament: What?

Johnny: Don't tell me it's always going to be the Forest of Demons! There's no reason anymore... The exit should be open.

Testament: No... Never mind me.

Johnny: Oh, you're getting older... How human of you. Well? Ready to try the kindness of mankind again?

Testament: Humans do kind things. They're always kind to their friends. That is why they can be cruel to others.

Johnny: *sigh* Is your only friend Dizzy? Huh! Why don't you try including a little more into your 'friends'?

Testament: Easy for you to say.

Johnny: Making new friends, that's simple effort. Well... I don't think you want my advice on that. And you know... Humans can also think this way: "A friend of a friend... is my friend." Hehe... How about it? Have you learned from her?

Testament: Hm. That may be right. I guess I may try moving out of this forest.

Johnny: Oh really? When you've decided where to, let me know.

Testament: Don't worry about me. It'll be a bother. And anyway... What are YOUR friends?

Johnny: That's obvious! My friends are... the charming maidens living in loneliness and unfortunate circumstances around the world.

Testament: A joke, right? Farewell, compatriot. [vanishes]

Johnny: Hey! I'm always serious! Hahaha... Well, whatever. It looks like even he's changed a little... That's good to know.

Forest of Demons

Testament: First, I should write a response. Huh... It's been about 50 years since I wrote a letter...

A Message from Kazue Fujita[]

Kazue Fujita: This is Kazue Fujita, the role of Dizzy. Guilty Gear XX Drama CD, Red Battle, is what you just heard. How was it? I've been allowed to do the role of Dizzy for awhile, and I've come to know many of her aspects. From not being able to believe in humans, the Dizzy trapped in the Demon's Forest, and then meeting Testament, and then entering the Jellyfish -- Dizzy's personality has changed quite a bit. Thanks to everybody in the crew, she's become more humanlike... or rather, she's more accepting of humanity... or something along those lines, and I've felt that she's become very cute. This time, as opposed to all that, I've met a different Dizzy... a Dizzy that's the enemy of humankind. Instead of one always overflowing with kindness, I've seen the scary side to Dizzy for the first time. The normal Dizzy is a kind girl, even though she's been through hard times. The Dizzy this time hates humans. But, I think that that's because her mother, Justice, was killed by the humans, and so I don't think her inner kindness has changed at all. Perhaps a kind heart, and a hating heart, are just like a mismatched button. That Dizzy, when turning on May, probably felt it deeply and was saddened. The Drama CD is finished, but the Guilty Gear world continues. When that time comes, I hope to be able to meet you with the smiling Dizzy. Let us meet once again.
