[CETUS’ CRY]
[STOMPING]

Hansel: Huff… huff… wheeze…
Dolly: F-Fuck… guh… huff…
Flost: …That was to be expected, huh.
Evan: Everyone seems to be in pain… I’m… kinda having a tough time myself…
Flost: The weakest people in our group are the first to lose speed… Cetus is… much faster than we’d anticipated…
Evan: Everyone seems to be in pain… I’m… kinda having a tough time myself…
Flost: The weakest people in our group are the first to lose speed… Cetus is… much faster than we’d anticipated…
[CETUS’ CRY]
Flost: Everyone! Keep running and listen to me!
Flost: At this rate, Cetus will catch up to us! I hate to say it, but… we’ll have to take a gamble!
Burgess: ...Gamble!?
Flost: Let’s fight Cetus one more time! We’ll aim for its legs!
Burgess: It’ll slow down if we injure one of its legs… That’s one hell of a bet you’re proposing.
Flost: We’ve got no other choice! Let’s strike while we still have some strength left...!
Gerard: I’m in!
Flost: Gerard...!
Gerard: Hansel is currently our weakest member. I have to protect my comrades.
Flost: Alright. Abel, what about― Did you hear me?
Flost: At this rate, Cetus will catch up to us! I hate to say it, but… we’ll have to take a gamble!
Burgess: ...Gamble!?
Flost: Let’s fight Cetus one more time! We’ll aim for its legs!
Burgess: It’ll slow down if we injure one of its legs… That’s one hell of a bet you’re proposing.
Flost: We’ve got no other choice! Let’s strike while we still have some strength left...!
Gerard: I’m in!
Flost: Gerard...!
Gerard: Hansel is currently our weakest member. I have to protect my comrades.
Flost: Alright. Abel, what about― Did you hear me?
Abel: Gotcha! Let’s do this already! We’ll all survive!
Musashi: Then, let’s aim from the front, at the third leg on its right-hand side. It seems like it has been injured before, and that’s why Cetus is slightly dragging it along.
Burgess: Got it… let’s go!
Burgess: Got it… let’s go!

[CETUS’ WEAKENED CRY]

Gerard: BRACE YOURSELF!!
[BATTLE]

[CETUS’ WEAKENED CRY]

Krone: It’s moaning in pain!? …Did it work!!?
Burgess: I think so, let’s run!!
Burgess: I think so, let’s run!!

[CETUS’ CRY]

Cadena: H-Hey, isn’t it getting even angrier!?
Burgess: It’s fine, just run! Run!!
Burgess: It’s fine, just run! Run!!

[CETUS’ CRY]

Hansel: H-Huh…?
Flost: …We won our bet.
Burgess: It’s slower than before! We’ll be able to run away now!
Flost: …We won our bet.
Burgess: It’s slower than before! We’ll be able to run away now!
Abel: Alright! Now all that’s left is lurin’ it towards the canyon!
Gerard: We can do it… we can defeat that monster!!
Gerard: We can do it… we can defeat that monster!!
