Part 3 of Xillia 2
I am making like, no progress on this thanks to work :| Stupid training and Twilight...
We are still in Helioborg, which is under attack by Arc Noah, Ludger got the pistols from Ivar and I shot things up for a bit to get a feel for them. Conclusion: like the swords more. Iria did guns better. Anyways.
Continue battling on while a thunderstorm brews, until another cutscene where Elle points out a security machine bearing down on us, but it gets blasted away by a dark Spirit Arte. Which means Elize! Who looks adorable in her school uniform btw. Jude, Alvin and Elize catch up-- the latter is here on a school program so Rieze Maxia kids can learn about Elenpios tech-- then we are introduced, and Ludger gets a choice: "What a cutie" or " Was that Spirit Artes just now?"
I go with the first since there is apparently an affection system a la Symphonia, so I'm going to suck up to everyone unless it involves Nii-san. Elize is naturally pleased and embarrassed at the same time, and Elle just glares. She's realized she is no longer the cutest one here, and acts bratty and says Elize's doll Tipo is freaky when Elize tries to be nice to her.
Alvin interrupts to ask if she's seen Balan, and she tells us that when Arc Noah attacked, he hid the kids and ran off on his own to draw them away. Since Elize can fight, she came out to try and help him. While the three try to figure out where Balan would have ran to, a crack of thunder sounds and Elle yelps and curls up on herself. Everyone stares before Elize gently asks if she's afraid of the thunder, and Elle predictably says she's not, like a brat. Another crack comes though, and this time she screams out and a light comes from her, whiting out the screen like on the train before.
When the scene comes back but with more saturation, and all the buildings have a weird filter over them, Alvin wonders what that was just now. Like the crazy train, everything seems to be the same, but...

no subject
Jude and Ludger are talking a bit about finding your calling in life, and while Jude is explaining that he wouldn't have found his if not for an important person(Millacough), he gets a call from one of his research team. She's having a little trouble dealing with a businessman who decided to invest in the Origin research, so Jude heads over and we're given a choice between "I'll go with you" and "Will you be alright?". The first raises Jude's affection.
Off we go to Helioborg again orz
The man is trying to get a higher price off one of the Spirit fossils he sells to the facility--Spirit fossils are necessary in order to make new Origin Spirits. Jude asks why he thinks he should, and the guy replies that it's because the fossil is of a Greater Spirit, Celsius to be exact. Jude calls him out immediately on his lie, as Celsius' fossil went down with Arc Noah's flagship last game, and should be at the bottom of the sea. The man is stunned for a moment before laughing, saying he shouldn't have thought of Jude as just a stupid and eager kid. He makes to leave, and the assistant tries to hand him his fossil, but he snaps not to bother. It's probably useless, and nothing will likely come out of Origin research in the end anyway; he just hopped on board so he could make some money off the Spirit fossils his company dug up.
Jude tells the girl not to get discouraged, and informs Ludger and her both that he won't be swayed by dissenting opinions, that he will continue to walk the path he chose with pride, just like "her". (Milla >.>)
