Hyperdimension Neptunia's Second LC

Arc 3 - Chapter 3B: Truthful Bonds Part 2

The girls watched Terra's memory on a screen above him, watching from his point of view racing to be a big hovercraft on the edge of Tari. At the front was his two friends Emily and Lauren "there you are, come on quick get aboard" Terra got onto the craft where his two friends sighed in relief, Emily speaking first "Thank goodness...we're all together"

"Only a few minutes and we'll all be in safety" said Lauren while an explosion sounded behind them, turning them to the destroying town, people scattering about in panic

"In the end...we just couldn't save it" said Terra regrettably "We...did all we could"

"Everything tried to stop us" said Emily "And we came so close too" Terra held his hand, which glowed blue while the engine roared to life "Well we're off now, it's time to flee this town"

As Terra looked to what was left of the town, people still fleeing to safety as buildings collapsed he sighed deeply "Emily...Lauren, sorry but...I'm staying here"

"What!?" exclaimed Lauren

"There's a chance the town can be saved, if I take the Soul Ascension project" he turned to them the look of worry on their faces "I've being thinking and thinking...and even if this town can't be saved, I'd be guilty for the rest of my life"

"Terra...Terra look just...come with us" said Emily pleading "You...you can't do anything"

"Maybe not but...I...I want to try" 

Terra turned to them "Emily...Lauren, this could the final time...we ever meet you know? It's being...a lot of fun" the hovercraft began to move

"Terra...no wait I'll come with you" said Lauren

"No don't. Compared to me...you have families down there waiting for you. My home is here, even if a mess so just...promise me one thing"

"What's that?" asked Emily

"Just...try to have a happier life than we've had" as the Hovercraft moved, Terra jumped off, onto the land, before it flew off into the distance. Terra waved it goodbye, until it vanished from view, and ran as fast as he could.

Fierce shakes began to rupture the world, people running and fleeing for any mode of transport, as Terra made it to the facility "Alexander...Alexander! Where are you?" the place was empty but to his surprise

"Huh, huh who's there?" Alexander came out, Terra running to him "What the!? What are you doing here!?"

"The same question can be ask of you...whoa!" he near fell over to the next Quake

"I've...decided to go down with the ship. I'm storing all our research into data for maybe future sources to find...and learn, but nevermind me what about you? You should be come?"

"Alexander...use the Soul Ascension Project on me!" 

Alexander looked in shock "Please...I'm asking you" said Terra "use the project on me!"

"What...but...you're not...ahh" Alexander fell to his bottom from the next quake "But you're not 100% ready yet"

"Well...I think at this point" Terra gesturing outside "Neither of us have anything to lose. Look I missed the last shuttle and I can't leave even if I wanted to plus...I'd like to know I really did all I could"
