duel 4. ( video ) If my armor breaks I'll fuse it back together

[puzzlingly]

「Atem comes up on the screen, looking more than exhausted, with big bags under his usually fiery eye(s), the Millennium Eye in his left socket, however, keeping its cold, golden appearance, imperturbable as ever. He does not look at the screen then he starts speaking, his normal eye, empty, as he looks at something else. A someone, in fact, but he will not show Kain's body on the feed, however, it would be terribly disrespectful.」

My friends, my comrades, hear me out–! 「He starts, his voice nearly broken, but starts taking strength after a few words.」 Most of you don't know me, but I already think of you as my friends, as my family! We all are, in the end, in this together! Together, until the very end, until we are victorious.

「He finally looks at the screen, a little fire showing in his eyes at last, his words firmer, passionate as he goes on.」

And I assure you, we will be, because I believe in every one of you!

I know it hurts, I know it's hard, that this is not your fight, but they've made it so! You will rest your tired bones and your tired souls when they are all gone. We will mourn those who haven't been returned to us when the time comes. Because–they will be back.

You have fought for yourselves, for those you love, for a future that has yet to come, for Hope and the hope in your heart.

And that's why I come to you today, to plead you to give me your hope, your rage and your sadness, the love for those you're fighting for — give me everything you've got and let us give one last stand! Only one more, I promise you — send the Null this message, let them know that we are not going down! Not today, not ever! Because we are in this together!

Just a little more, my friends... It will be over, soon.

「That's it, that is all he says, one last look at Kain's body before him and he brings the feed to an end.」
