==Main Story==

In the year 2180, Justice - the most powerful and diabolical Gear ever to have been encountered by
humans - was defeated in the international fighting tournament.  The remaining Gears, now leaderless,
were hunted down and eliminated.  Humankind was finally free from the catastrophic menace brought on
by the Gears.

However...less than a year after the incident, information about the discovery of a particular Gear
rose to the public's attention.  The report stated, "This Gear is functioning properly, even though
its activities should be inhibited by its lack of leadership.  There are no signs of abnormalities
or physical damage.  It is also noted that no civilians have been harmed, either intentionally or
accidentally.  We have made several attempts to eliminate the Gear, but due to its tremendous combat
capabilities, we have been unsuccessful.  The number of casualties has yet to be confirmed.  We are
currently keeping the Gear under surveillance."

Gears are biological weapons that are programmed to blindly obey the orders given to them by their
commander.  In the absence of orders, they become passive and behave peacefully.  However, all
existing Gears have had their memories erased by Justice, and without orders, they are incapable of
doing anything.  Not only do they lack the instinct to protect themselves, they cannot even perform
the essential activities they need to keep themselves alive.  As long as a Gear is functioning
properly, it should be following commands given by Justice.

Understandably, the news of this Gear that seemed to have a will of its own stunned everyone.  Humans
became terrified by the possible emergence of a second self-reliant Gear like Justice.  To make matters
worse, rumors were flying that each nation was in possession of their own Gears for the purpose of
military use, driving anti-Gear sentiment among humans to an all-time high.  They would not give up
their long-awaited peace so easily, and soon, an announcement was made:

"~Whosoever brings about the demise of this dreadful Gear shall be rewarded with the lofty sum of
500,000 World Dollars!~"


==Sol Badguy==

Hunter. Revenge-seeker. And atoner. For the space of 150 years, those were the masks that the man wore.
Having once been altered in body to become a living weapon, the man threw away his own name, and the
bounty hunter known as Sol Badguy was born. 

What goes on in Sol's heart as he searched for unknown Gears?

==Personality Profile==

Sullen and unrefined; only speaks to others when absolutely necessary.  This is reflected in
everything he does, and his fighting moves, while rough and unpolished, are executed with absolute
precision.  Not a friendly man, but not an inherently evil one.

==Story==

Once a subject of biological weapon research, Sol has spent the last 150 years living as a bounty
hunter in order to conceal his past.  His combat skills easily surpass those of his human counterparts,
and he is immune to the effects of age.  To avert further tragedy, he continues on his quest to find
and eliminate all Gears and the scientist who created them.  After the death of Justice, all the Gears
around the world should have ceased their activities;  upon receiving word of a still-functioning Gear,
Sol sets out for the Tournament to investigate.

      It seems she has the will to live. To think she had that much power, though...
      I tried to catch up, and I ended up like this. Not bad...not bad at all...)"

==Sol VS Dizzy==

Sol: "Here you are."

Dizzy: "Did you...come to kill me?"

Sol: "I came to find out. Hey...you're a Gear?"

Dizzy: "Don't Gears have a right to live?"

Sol: "Gears are weapons. Even their hearts."

Dizzy: "I may be a weapon...but I don't want to hurt anybody!"

==Ending 1==

Dizzy: "Aren't you...going to finish me off?"

Sol: "I made a mistake. There are no Gears that want to die."

Dizzy: "Then...might as well be a Gear. This power to kill..."

Sol: "Don't cry. It's annoying."

Dizzy: "Will we meet again?"

Sol: "Do as you like."


==Ky Kiske==

Ky Kiske's youth was in the battlefield. The Holy Order that protected humans from Gears. As the
commander of that Holy Order, Ky was always looking at the carnage in the world. Days and months

man, but as a citizen, as a human.

==Personality Profile==

Deadly serious, honest in work, truthful with others and devout in his morals. A firm believer in
justice, eternally trying to help those weaker than himself. At the same time, he possesses a fragile
mind that quickly erupts when he encounters anyone who breaks his rules or disrupts his order. In
other words, he has a hard time dealing with freedom, a fact he has yet to realize.

==Story==

A charismatic and talented swordsman, Ky was appointed as the leader of the Sacred Order of Holy
Knights when he was only 16. Since the Crusades, he has worked in the police force to keep his vigil
over mankind. Justice's final words at the Tournament made Ky realize that the "justice" he believed
in only served human purposes. Ky, who believed all his life that Gears were inherently evil, could
neither agree nor disagree with Justice's message. It was then that he received word of a Gear that
had no intention of harming humans. To determine the true meaning of justice, he decided to embark
on a new journey.

VS Self: "Impersonating an officer, are you? Sorry, but my men won't be deceived by you."

VS May: "This area isn't safe. Let me escort you to the exit."

VS Faust: "Those unusual attacks...Have I met you somewhere before?"

VS Potemkin: "If you were unbound, it would've been a tough fight. Let's strive to be honorable
              public servants."

VS Chipp: "I've never seen such speed! It took me a while to adjust."

VS Zato-ONE: "If you continue to desecrate, you will surely regret it someday.
              Change now, before it's too late."

VS Millia: "Wh-Why do you say I held back? True, that wasn't my best, but it's the least any man
            would do."

VS Axl: "Regardless of the outcome, we still shake hands afterward. That's the kind of friendship
         I want to keep."

VS Baiken: "I've not seen that kind of flawless technique before. Very impressive!"

VS Johnny: "It's a crime regardless of your heroism. When you wield this kind of power,
            you should use it for the right reasons."

VS Venom: "Conscience is born from your past mistakes and making things right. If you exhibit
           such conscience, there will always be someone to take you in."

VS Anji: "What smooth movement...If you hadn't given up then, I would've been..."

VS Jam: "Uhh...Maybe you shouldn't kick so high. Please...I don't know where to look! Excuse me!"

VS Sol: "That look you’re giving me...I feel as if I haven't won."

VS Testament: "If I lost focus for even one second, I wouldn't have been able to defend your
               continuous attacks. You were a dangerous opponent."

VS Dizzy: "I'm awed by your raw offensive power.  With one wrong move I could've been..."

VS Kliff: "Thank you, my Lord, for the lesson, your swordsmanship is astounding."

VS Justice: "...So this is Justice, the source of all our woe. What sorrowful eyes..."

==Story Mode Dialogue==

==Ky VS Potemkin==

Potemkin: "I had no idea the International Police was involved. I was careless."

Ky: "Not at all, I had no idea Zepp was interested in Gears."

Potemkin: "I am no acting officially.  Here, I'm just a regular bounty hunter."

Ky: "I see...then, as fellow bounty hunters, let us settle this here."

==Ky VS Venom==

Ky: "Who are you looking for?"

Venom: "...a dog. I have no use for you."

Ky: "I am not on duty, but even so I am a public servant. If this involves the Syndicate,
     I cannot ignore it."

Venom: "Then, let me see the conviction you pride so much."

==Ky VS Jam==

Ky: "Excuse me, the forest ahead of here, how can I...?"

Jam: "(Aiya! What a nice looking boy!) The Demon's Forest is very dangerous.  You should stay away."

Ky: "Thank you for your concern, but it's my duty..."

Jam: "Then I must test if you're ready for the forest! Draw!"

Ky: "W-w-wait a second!"

Jam: "If you lose it's washing dishes for you!"

Ky: "Huh? Wait!"

==Ky VS Zato-ONE==

Ky: "First-Class wanted Zato, I presume."

Eddie: "THIS IS THIS BODY'S NAME."

Ky: "How pitiful...already taken over by the Forbidden Magic...then, let me at least give you peace."

Eddie: "HOW CHARITABLE...IS THIS WHAT YOU CALL 'HUMANITY'?"

Ky: "Not charity. This is...justice."

==Ky VS Millia==

Millia: "Zato!?"

Ky: "Who are you? He was on the verge of dying just now."

Millia: "I was too late...I came to kill him, you know.  Now, I'll take my revenge."

Ky: "Huh?"

Millia: "I'm sorry. It would take too long to explain. You see, despite everything he was my benefactor
         ...so much so I want to kill him."

==Ky VS Robo-Ky (Alternate Route)==

Robo-Ky: "Target acquired. Identified as Ky Kiske. Just you wait, Ky. I was made just to defeat you.
          Now is the time for my raison d'etre!"

Ky: "*sneeze*...for some reason I'm shivering..."

==Ending 2==

Robo-Ky: "Hey, Ky! Where did you go?"

Ky: "...oh man."

Robo-Ky: "I haven't lost yet!"

Ky: "Getting so serious even after he lost..."

Robo-Ky: "Fight me seriously!"

Ky: "And so persistently annoying..."

Robo-Ky: "Wheeeeeeeere aaaaaaare yoooooooou hiiiiiiiding...?"

Ky: "What an annoying person...huh? Haven't I heard that somewhere before?"

Robo-Ky: "There!?"

Ky: "Ha?!"

==Ky VS Testament==

Testament: "Return, child of man."

Ky: "I can't do that."

Testament: "The Demon's Forest is a place of peace. Do not bring the filth of outside in here."

Ky: "Just pulling your hat over your head won't make the storm go away."

Testament: "'In front of the populace I shall be a shield from the storm and a rock of support.'"

Ky: "That's...a Holy Order oath!?"

Testament: "I am the shield. I won't let you lay a single finger on her!"

==Ky VS Dizzy (Alternate Route)==

Dizzy: "...you hurt him, didn't you?"

Ky: "The black-clothed Gear? Unfortunately."

Dizzy: "Once again, someone is hurt for my sake...if I'm chased no matter where I go,
        then I will fight!"

==Ky VS Sol (Alternate Route)==

Ky: "Sol! I know you're there."

Sol: "You did pretty well for a boy."

Ky: "Her power was overwhelming. But by reading her movements and acting to stop them I could beat her.
     Sol. Do you still say I have no right to face you?"

Sol: "...you'll regret it."

==Ending 3==

Ky: "(I see it...his sword...I can see his movements...) There!"

Sol: "Gah!"

Ky: "(Have I won?) Stand up, Sol! You should still be able to fight."

Sol: "...shut up. It's my loss."

Ky: "What are you saying?"

Sol: "Dragging someone along for the ride and you're still not satisfied?"

Ky: "...is that really your full strength?"

Sol: "I was being serious but I lost there. Or by full strength do you mean killing each other?"

Ky: "...no, sorry for doubting you."

Sol: "If you understand, then hurry up and go away."

Ky: "No, I can't do that. As former Commander of the Holy Order, I can't just stand by and watch
     such negligent technique. We'll train now and fix it."

Sol: "Such a spoiled..."

Ky: "That was a joke."

Sol: "..."

Ky: "Is something wrong?"

Sol: "(...bastard)."

Ky: "You want another match?"

Sol: "No way, yeesh."

==Ky VS Sol==

Ky: "I've been waiting."

Sol: "...annoying..."

Ky: "That fight we started then...we'll finish it here!"

Sol: "This isn't a place for a boy!"

Ky: "Fight seriously!"

==Ky VS Dizzy==

Ky: "I'm sorry, but I've come to pick you up."

Dizzy: "Why...can't you just leave me alone?"

Ky: "You have a great power."

Dizzy: "I didn't even want this power..."

Ky: "I sympathize. But, I cannot leave you."

Dizzy: "Why!? If you did, everyone would be at peace..."

Ky: "You must learn...the meaning of having power!"

==Ending 1==

Ky: "Please, stand up. The outside world is waiting for you."

Dizzy: "Why...is that?"

Ky: "Even if it's a power we didn't want, we all have a responsibility to our powers. Instead of
     running, you must show the world what kind of person you are. That is what it means to live."

Dizzy: "But...if I leave here, it will become a burden to everyone..."

Ky: "Didn't you know? To live is to be a burden on others."

Dizzy: "I...didn't know."

Ky: "See? There are good things to living as a person as well."

Dizzy: "'To live as a person'...can you teach me that?"

Ky: "That's why I came."


==May==

"It was a rainy day. That person came and extended an umbrella. I was looking for a father,
so that man became him. But I am selfish. Right now I want something more than a father. Tomorrow is
Johnny's birthday. So...I have to find the greatest possible present."

==Personality Profile==

A mischievous and happy-go-lucky young girl. Her values are based completely around her consuming
love for Johnny. (If Johnny was on one side of a scale and everyone else in the world were on the
other, Johnny would still weigh more in her eyes.) This pure and childlike exterior belies untold
strength; she can hoist up a ship's anchor by herself. Simple-minded and selfish, nothing can stop
her once she gets an idea into her head.

==Story==

Having lost her parents at a young age, May was picked up by the pirate Johnny and raised as a
chivalrous bandit. Though she lived a rough life, over time she came to be charmed by her new
guardian's kindness and broadmindedness. Ever since, her life has become completely dedicated to
Johnny, and her reunion with him after the last Tournament brought her much happiness. One day, as
Johnny's birthday was nearing, the crew decided to give him a present as a sign of their appreciation.
Compelled by her growing feelings for him, May decided to give him a gift personally, in addition to
the crew's gift. The problem was, she didn't have money...Soon after, she learned of the huge bounty
put on the Gear, and decided to head for the new Tournament.

              Um, I-I gotta go, so I'll just let myself out..."

VS Anji: "Isn't it dangerous if you wear glasses in a fight!? I mean, it's cool for Johnny, but you..."

VS Jam: "(Wow, look at those legs...) J-Johnny hates indecent women like you!"

VS Johnny: "Sorry, Johnny, but this is for the sake of our love!"

VS Testament: "You're way too tough for someone that beautiful. I'm exhausted."

VS Dizzy: "Hmm..tight costume...Those moves might be sexy but they won't work on Johnny!"

May: "Aa! Are you trying to treat me like a kid!? Just see my bounty hunter prowess and you'll
      go away!"

Ky: "...No, I'd stop adults too, and...oh no."

==May VS Chipp==

May: "Have you seen a bounty around here?"

Chipp: "A brat, huh?"

Millia: "Good eyes...those are eyes that know happiness...but I can't let you have this one."

May: "(Such sad eyes...) I'll be your opponent!"

==May VS Johnny==

May: "Eh!? What're you doing here, Johnny!?"

Johnny: "Isn't that my line? Didn't I leave the ship to you?"

Anji: "No mistake. You're Japanese, aren't you?"

May: "Huh? What's Japanese?"

Anji: "Hmm! To think there are Japanese out here even in this time
       after Justice was sealed...whoa!"

Johnny: "Go away! Right now."

May: "Johnny!"

Johnny: "Yo! Is my princess all right?"

May: "Hey Johnny? My parents...(were those Japanese?)"

Johnny: "Hmm?"

May: "...are Johnny and everybody in the crew, right?"

Johnny: "Yeah. If you're okay with me. (Some day I'll have to tell her. Just not now...)"

May: "I love you Johnny!"

==May VS Testament==

Testament: "Hm? A child. Weren't you told not to enter this forest?"

May: "I'm not a child! I came to find the Gear with the bounty!"

Testament: "To have someone so young using killing as a livelihood!?
            Mankind is more corrupt than I thought!"

May: "Um...(I only want to catch them...)"

May: "Found you!"

May: "(We're on two different frequencies here...) Um, it's not that."

Dizzy: "That's unfortunate...I usually don't see people from the outside..."

May: "Isn't that because that guy keeps chasing them all away?"

Dizzy: "Yes...he helps protect me, but..."

May: "A pretty ferocious 'protector'...Ah, I'm sorry. I came to catch you."

Dizzy: "To...catch!?"

May: "I don't have anything against you but I'll have to tie you up, okay?"

==Ending 1==

May: "I'm sorry, did it hurt?"

Dizzy: "I'm all right. Just...a little sad."

May: "(This person wasn't fighting seriously at all...) I'm sorry, it looks like
      my misunderstanding. I heard you were a bounty so I assumed you were a bad
      person..."

Dizzy: "My crime is being a Gear...being different from humans..."

May: "That's not right at all!"

Dizzy: "You are very kind. But in the world of humans there's no place for me..."

May: "There is! Just a little illegal though...sometimes we get chased by the police..."

Dizzy: "...sounds fun!"

May: "Okay, it's decided! A new member...that should be a nice present for Johnny."

Dizzy: "What is this Johnny like?"

May: "Johnny? I can explain lots of things about him!"


==Millia Rage==

"Assassins are heartless dolls. Acting as commanded, killing as commanded. There are no
taboos for assassins, they kill without even having murderous intent. In the end, I wasn't
a doll. That was because of the naiveness of he who raised me. Perhaps I should be thankful.
The reason I have a heart is because of that. 

Even if my heart has...murderous intent towards him."

==Profile==

Height: 5'7"
Weight: 106 lbs.
Blood Type: B
Birthplace: Russia
Birthday: Unknown (Millia is an orphan)
Eye Color: Blue
Hobbies: Playing with cats
Favorite Thing: Her honor
Dislikes: Zato, losing hair in the midst of battle
Weapon: Forbidden Magic Hair Organism "Angra"

==Personality Profile==

A cold, reticent woman, nothing ever appears to interest her. Indifferent towards her
feminine side, perhaps because of her assassin upbringing. Sees everything in terms of
black or white, and rarely makes a wrong decision. Although her mind is like a machine,
there is still a little human left in her, and she is tormented inside by the recluse she
has become.

==Story==

Losing both of her parents when she was still a child, Millia was trained by a group of
assassins to use her hair as weapon. However, her conscience would not allow her to murder
innocent people, and as a result, she left the organization. Being constantly pursued by the
assassins, she decided that it was more efficient to put an end to the organization than to run
away from it. She entered the tournament to defeat Zato, the assassins' leader. Her plan was
technically a success and she did gain her freedom, but her feelings - the guilt of causing her
former master to be overtaken by a shadow and the fear of having to confront him again -
still troubled her. Finally, out of her agony came a conclusion...

"I must finish him off, once and for all."

==Potemkin==

The technology that had become taboo was embraced by only the Armed Science Kingdom Zepp.
Upon hearing about the Gear with free will, they decided in secret to rescue that Gear.

The one sent out was Potemkin. He was one with a stone-like body, and a stone-like loyalty.

==Profile==

Height: 8'0"
Weight: 1446 lbs.
Blood Type: O
Birthplace: Zepp
Birthday: October 18th
Eye Color: White
Hobbies: Sketching
Favorite Thing: Indestructible pencil cases
Dislikes: Pencils that snap under four tons of weight
Weapon: His 'Dreadnaught' Fist (Based on Master Gabriel's style)

==Personality Profile==

Fiercely proud and pure of heart. His giant, overpowering mass conceals a warm, gentle character,
in love with all of nature. Justice is his creed, and he cannot bear to see other people suffer
- even if he himself suffers the most. Always faces up to any adversity in his way, but never
fights merely for the pleasure of hurting others.

==Story==

Potemkin is a former slave soldier of Zepp, a militaristic nation that maintains a society based
on science and technology. Having taken the rest of the slave soldiers hostage, he was sentenced
by his superior to enter the Tournament. During the Tournament, he learned that a coup d'etat was
in progress. In the end, the coup d'etat succeeded and Zepp was freed from its dictatorship.

President Gabriel, Potemkin's former instructor, summoned him for a secret mission; to protect a
Gear from the bounty hunters and bring it back safely to Zepp. Though Potemkin is unable to
discern the mission's true motive, he decides to trust his former master, and accepts the mission.

Potemkin: "So are you."

May: "Hey, don't say such rude things..."

Potemkin: "...no, what I meant was you've grown taller since we last me."

May: "Thanks! I'm still growing. But anyway, are you after the Gear too?"

Potemkin: "That's right. 'It's dangerous, so go home...'
           ...isn't something you'll listen to, right?"

May: "Of course! A girl in love is invincible!"

==Potemkin VS Chipp==

Chipp: "You big guy! Make way."

Potemkin: "I'd make way but we're both going the same way."

Chipp: "You're a bounty hunter too! Then I won't hold back!"

Potemkin: "You have good eyes...but are still too naive."

==Potemkin VS Jam==

Jam: "Aiya...are you going to the Demon's Forest too?"

Potemkin: "That is correct."

Jam: "Then let us fight fair and square!"

Potemkin: "You fight barehanded! So women can be just as strong-willed as men.
           I am impressed. Now, let us fight!"

==Potemkin VS Faust==

Potemkin: "Move aside. I do not wish to fight a Doctor."

Faust: "I'm afraid I can't...this is my duty. Doctors must be prepared even until the end."

Potemkin: "I see..."

Faust: "I see that you are the same. You have duty in your heart as well."

Potemkin: "If we both will not give up then we can only put our duty to the test and fight."

Faust: "It seems that way. It's okay, it will be over quickly and it won't hurt at all."

Potemkin: "I am not that skillful. Please dodge well."

==Potemkin VS Ky==

Potemkin: "A lot of people for a forest..."

Ky: "That is true...By the way, what does Zepp...?"

Potemkin: "I'm sorry, but I am here only as a bounty hunter."

Ky: "I see...I am too. How about it? As fellow bounty hunters, let us cross swords."

Potemkin: "With you? Hm. It seems like it will be a good fight.
           We will put the bounty on the outcome."

Ky: "Now then..."

Potemkin: "Ready!"

==Potemkin VS Testament==

Testament: "...so you are the first."

Potemkin: "Now let me pass."

Testament: "This is holy ground. You cannot bring in the filth of outside."

Potemkin: "'Filth of the outside'...that may be so. However, for people to live,
           they also need the outside filth."

Testament: "I disagree."

Potemkin: "Gears don't know...this is not holy ground. And there are filth greater than humans."

Testament: "I will stop it!"

Potemkin: "Very well. You can try and stop me."

==Potemkin VS Dizzy==

Potemkin: "I was sent by Zepp. I have come to escort you."

Dizzy: "Please go away. I do not intend to leave here."

Potemkin: "...I'm sorry. I won't say it's for your own good. But please come for the sake of the
           people living around here."

==Ending 1==

Potemkin: "It is a crowded country, but...what do you think?"

Dizzy: "Everyone is treating me well...they explain things to me too."

Potemkin: "Because the major powers of the world were also involved...a Civil War might have been
           the result. Just like he said, that is the filth of the outside. It's not your fault."

Dizzy: "Even so, it was a mistake to hide away in the forest. I should have known what was
        happening because of me."

Potemkin: "I see."

Dizzy: "Yes...and in the end, I'm happy."

Potemkin: "This is true. You have a great smile now. I can only hope my drawing can capture it."

==Potemkin VS Johnny (Alternate Route)==

Potemkin: "So...here is Zepp."

Dizzy: "This...is the outside world? What is that?"

Potemkin: "What is that ship? It's coming this way!"

Dizzy: "Watch out!"

Johnny: "Are you hurt, mademoiselle? I'm Johnny of the Jellyfish Pirates.
         It seems you had a run-in with our little princess."

Potemkin: "Hmph. So the parent comes into the child's fight?"

Johnny: "No...I came to pick up this young miss."

Potemkin: "To think the air pirates would pick a fight with Zepp."

Johnny: "There is no 'impossible' for someone perfect like me!"

==Ending 2==

Potemkin: "I can't believe it..."

Johnny: "There will be more that come after her. So let's make it that she died in the fight
         between your ship and mine. Got it?"

Potemkin: "To think that my Superior might be convinced to go along with this..."

Dizzy: "Please don't worry about me."

Potemkin: "Oh?"

Dizzy: "It's too bad, though...if I could've stayed here longer,
        I might've become friends with you."

Potemkin: "We'll meet again."

Dizzy: "Yes...um...farewell!"

Potemkin: "Yes, farewell."


==Chipp Zanuff==

There was a mistake. There was pain. Drowning in drugs, a daily life of crime. There was one who
was able to reach a hand out to the boy, and the hand brought repentance and salvation. 

The young man trained himself, and burst forth. Overcoming mistakes, overcoming pain,
he burst forth. So that one day he could become the helping hand.

==Profile==

Height: 6'0"
Weight: 148 lbs.
Blood Type: B
Birthplace: He insists Japan (actually America)
Birthday: February 9th
Eye Color: Red
Hobbies: Dreaming
Favorite Thing: Sleeping pills
Dislikes: Nightmares, the Mafia, gangs, Yakuza
Weapon: Ninja Armblade ("Les Paul")

==Personality Profile==

Short in patience and long in fighting spirit. Takes a survival-of-the-fittest approach to life,
and looks for the easy way out of everything except fighting, where his strategies are always
exceptionally well thought out. Often flies into rages over trifling matters, although he's been
working hard to hold his temper in check under his former Master's admonitions. Wishes he could
get himself to help others more often. Has a keen interest in Japanese culture from his former
Master, and possesses an image of that country that has little to do with reality.

==Story==

In his youth, Chipp was addicted to drugs and worked for the Mafia as a drug trafficker.
Eventually, his drug dependency worsened to the point where he could no longer perform his job.
No longer needed by the Mafia, Chipp was to be disposed of when a ninja, who later became his
teacher, rescued him. Chipp began to open up to the man who saved his life, and became his
apprentice. But that peace was short-lived, as eventually, the Mafia killed the ninja. Trembling
in anger, Chipp vowed to take revenge on the Mafia. Unable to reach the final rounds in the
previous Tournament, he learned that his heart, skills and strength were still lacking, and
devoted himself even more to his training. Upon witnessing Justice's death, Chipp realized that
deep down, even this monster that massacred countless people was searching for help. This made
him think about what a true helping hand was. Now, he is once again ready to do battle for that
which might truly save him, and so, he focuses his interest on the story of the Gear.

==Personality Profile==

The eternal optimist. Rarely thinks deeply about matters, believing that everything works out eventually.
His lust for amour knows no bounds. He does have the ability to calmly examine and solve problems,

- not even the most evil of villains.

==Story==

Axl actually hails from the 20th century. Born in the slums, he placed himself in the middle of gang
warfare to bring peace to the area, and with his extraordinary physical prowess he was able to achieve
his goal - without any casualties - in six months time. Some time later, due to a cruel twist of fate,
he was forced to travel 150 years into the future. Hoping to gain passage back to his own time,
he entered the Tournament. Instead, he was sent to another time period for a year's time. During that
period, he was bounced around in the time-space continuum for an equivalent of three years. Throughout
his journey, he learned that in each time period, there were always rumors of another time traveler
like him. Axl believed that by pursuing the traveler known as "That Man," he could come upon a way to
go back to his own time once and for all. Sensing the presence of "That Man" behind the incident with
the Gear, he decides to check it out for himself.

Axl: "...flown across time again. Seems like the Goddess of Fate really has an interest in me.

==Axl VS Faust==

Axl: "Are you...Dr. Faust?"

Faust: "I certainly am the one called Faust...you appear to need treatment."

Axl: "That'd be great! I'd like to have my body fixed..."

Faust: "Hmm...so your body randomly time slips on its own. A strange disease unheard of in prior times.
        Very well, let me examine you."

Axl: "...Um, why are you holding that scalpel then?"

Faust: "I must measure all of your body's capabilities. It won't hurt, so please do not worry about it."

Axl: "GEH!"

==Ending 1==

Faust: "Cheer up. The results of the examination have come."

Axl: "Haa....good..."

Faust: "Unfortunately...there's no cure."

Axl: "You serious!?"

Faust: "One could say that you're a foreign body caused by the Law of Causality."

Axl: "What's that?"

Faust: "To put it simply...in this dimension, there are two of you. Thus, you've become unstable."

Axl: "It's happening again. St-stop me!"

Faust: "How interesting. Let me record this for posterity...!"

Axl: "Hey, come on...!"


==Faust==

A doctor that fell under the sin of hubris. That was the cross he bore upon his back. Named a genius
and the doctor who could forestall death. But, with only one failure...he fell into madness.
No matter how many people he cured, the lives he stole would not return. To repent the unrepentable
sins he continued traveling...

==Story==

Faust was once a good man and a great surgeon - one of the best in the world. After committing a
simple mistake that cost a young female patient her life, his mind broke and he went on a murderous
rampage. He was captured and sent to a Dimensional Prison after taking the lives of scores of innocent
people using the most indescribable of means. The previous Tournament gave him a second lease on life,
and now he has returned to his former self. Wishing to punish himself for his past, Faust resolved to
take his own life. Not only would this act finally atone for his sins, but he realized it was the only
way he would be able to escape the painful feelings that haunted him day and night. But just as he was
about to end it all, Faust learned that the young girl's death so long ago was no accident, but rather
a cold-blooded murder carried out by a third party. Finally seeing the light, he now sets out on a new
journey to discover the truth behind the girl, saving as many lives as he can along the way.

              What do you see in your future?"

==Faust VS Ky==

Ky: "Suspicious...who are you!?"

Faust: "One who used to be a doctor."

Ky: "It's best if you go home soon...this place will soon become a battlefield."

Faust: "Don't you think a battlefield is the most appropriate place for a doctor?"

Ky: "Sorry to be rude, but I cannot trust you. Please withdraw."

Faust: "You are a virtuous one...but, single-minded virtue can easily break.
        You must conduct body and mind softly...like this."

Ky: "M-maniac!"

==Faust VS Baiken==

Faust: "You miss, traveling over there."

Baiken: "By 'miss', you mean me?"

Faust: "Why do you have such sad eyes?"

Baiken: "Aren't your eyes a hole in a paper bag? How are these sad eyes?"

Faust: "The sadness you've stifled in your heart is peeking through."

Baiken: "A lecture from a know-it-all? Makes me want to vomit."

Faust: "Even though you burn in the flame of revenge you do not forget your sadness.
        That's a wonderful thing."

Baiken: "Shut up!"

==Faust VS Millia==

Millia: "Who are you?"

Faust: "A doctor just passing through."

Millia: "I see, a doctor..."

Faust: "Is there a problem? If it's anything I can help with I'm listening..."

Millia: "I feel as if I'm trying to grasp something that won't come back.
         I will kill him with these hands. That's the only way I can live on."

Faust: "You realize that that is the path to carnage?"

Millia: "I don't want saving. But...just in case, you know..."

Faust: "You want to be stopped by somebody?"

Millia: "...I'm sorry. Please forget what I said."

Faust: "Unfortunately I cannot let it go once I hear it."

Millia: "You'll die, you know?"

Faust: "There are times when a doctor just can't pull back."

==Faust VS Venom==

Venom: "The 'Dark Doctor' Faust..."

Faust: "I would be presumptuous to call myself a doctor..."

Venom: "Allow me to test your skill."

Faust: "I am not a warrior, you know. What do you hope to test by fighting?"

Venom: "I require the strength to save him, living."

Faust: "I understand your earnest request. Let us go then."

==Faust VS Zato (Alternate Route)==

Zato(Eddie): "HEHEHEH...A DOCTOR NOW, IS IT?"

Faust: "This certainly is a grave case..."

Zato(Eddie): "I WON'T LET YOU LAY A SINGLE FINGER UPON ME!"

Faust: "I will heal you...I bet this scalpel on it!"

==Ending 2==

Venom: "The shadow's been removed! Master Zato!"

Faust: "This person needs constant care. Can I leave it to you?"

Venom: "Of course. About payment..."

Faust: "Let's talk about it later. The operation is not yet finished."

Venom: "You...the shadow...?"

Faust: "A symbiote...this is also a precious life. Now, come in. You wanted a body, yes?"

Venom: "The shadow...is being sucked in!"

Faust: "Sorry to have bothered you. Whether this person opens his eyes or not is now up to you.
        Farewell!"

Venom: "What a man. That is the road of the doctor..."

==Faust VS Sol==

Faust: "I am sorry, but I cannot leave this to you."

Sol: "..."

Faust: "It is I who will save her soul."

Sol: "It's not something that can be cured by a doctor."

Faust: "And you are saying you can save her? Are you planning to give her the mercy of death?"

Sol: "...Gears must die."

Faust: "At whom are those words directed? At the one living in the deep forest? Or..."

==Faust VS Testament==

Testament: "Stop. To those who would despoil the holy ground is only death."

Faust: "A dependent one. I'm sorry, but this will require some forceful healing."

Testament: "Attitude of a doctor...what do you know?!"

Faust: "You are protecting her. But at the same time, are being protected."

Testament: "What do I care!? This is the life I've found."

Faust: "A worthy conviction. But...a healed patient no longer needs a sickroom."

==Faust VS Dizzy==

Dizzy: "Please don't come closer!"

Faust: "Miss...there is no need to worry."

Dizzy: "I don't want to kill you!"

Faust: "...isn't going to work, is it?"

==Ending 1==

Dizzy: "Huh? I..."

Faust: "Have you come to?"

Dizzy: "I'm sorry...I thought you were a bounty hunter."

Faust: "You've realized it, haven't you? That forest is not some place you can remain in any longer..."

Dizzy: "Yes...being attacked by all sorts of people...if I stayed there eventually I would have killed
        someone. I don't want to do that...but...still I couldn't leave that place."

Faust: "Even once you know, changing your daily habits is hard. Let's make this the beginning.
        Do you understand? You're dead to the world."

Dizzy: "Thank you..."

Faust: "No need for that. This is all your will. If you had really thought differently I would've been
        erased just now."

Dizzy: "Is it okay to think that way?"

Faust: "Certainly, stand up straight. And then begin walking towards your future.
        This annoying doctor will take his leave now."

Dizzy: "Um...your name?"

Faust: "I am called Faust..."


==Zato-ONE==

There is one who seeks strength. There is one who is seduced by darkness. The man sank into darkness,
and took lives. The man gave up light, and made darkness his own. The man drowned in power,
and eventually submerged in darkness. 

And then...finally the man realized. He wasn't seeking darkness.
Not even power...just a little peace.

==Personality Profile==

A true assassin, cool-headed and brutal. His speech is moderate and prudent, but also scathing enough
to show the listener who's boss. This is just an act of self-preservation, however, and deep down he
is just another timid (or, to put it another way, vain) young man. 

But there is still some goodwill left lurking within his heart.

==Story==

Zato, the leader of an International Organization of Assassins, gained the ability to manipulate
shadows in exchange for his vision. Originally a lowly assassin, he gained new power through a
forbidden ritual, which allowed him to rise to his present position. The repeated battles of the last
Tournament took their toll on him, however, and a shadow seized control of his body. The shadow was
cognizant that it was created as a weapon and that its intentions of murder and destruction were only
programmed instincts. It had developed a will of its own - the ability to break away from its cursed
fate. This newborn soul could not understand humans, and was filled with loneliness. While in search
for others like it, the shadow came across the rumor of the Gear.

==Baiken==

A lone woman on a path of carnage. The cold blade whistles out of its scabbard and cuts aside demons

her revenge come? Whether she goes west or east is up to the wind. Today blood will flow yet again.

==Personality Profile==

A spirited woman and a devoted martial artist. Her femininity has been suppressed in the wake of her
supreme goal. Gets in fights over tiny matters; shoots first and asks questions later. Holds her beliefs
firmly, and will argue with anyone who disagrees with her to the bitter end. At the same time, though,
she is capable of changing her mind if she's obviously wrong.

==Story==

When the Japanese institution she lived in was raided, Baiken witnessed the horrible deaths of her
parents and friends. This massacre was the work of the Gears, but what had been burned into her memory
was the image of a man standing in flames, surrounded by his creations. Standing amidst the Gears, he
silently gazed upon young Baiken. She became acutely aware, even in the absence of evidence, that he was
an enemy. Her memory of this event has not faded; she can vividly recall the carnage every time she
closes her eyes.

She continues on her quest to find "That Man," to exact her revenge...her people's revenge on him.

==Anji Mito==

The residents of a bow-shaped chain of islands that once existed in the Pacific Ocean were called
the Japanese. At the beginning of the Holy War, the Japanese and their islands were destroyed by the
rebellion of the Gears. The few that remained were segregated in a sanctuary in the name of preservation.

It was almost as if they were feared. 

Mito Anji. Japanese.

One who searches for the cause of the destruction of Japan. His gait is still persistently light.

Weapon: "Zessen" (Suppression Fans)

==Personality Profile==

Just as his fighting style is smooth and dancelike, his actions are dictated more by feeling than by
logic. His character is a combination of movement and silence. A straightforward man, he worries
little of future consequences before acting - not because of optimism, but simply because he rarely
thinks things through enough. Has little sense of justice, but isn't hung up about fighting against
what rubs him. Enjoys playfully needling people as a way to seem friendly.

==Story==

Anji is one of the few that have inherited the precious Japanese blood. Because there are only a handful
of Japanese in this time period, they are under government protection. Thus, they are viewed as
international treasures, and do not receive the same treatment as regular citizens. Within the Japanese
community, there are those that accept this treatment, and those that reject it. Anji is part of the
latter; rather than being concerned about the preservation of his race, he wants to regain his freedom
as a human being. Because of this, he disguises his nationality and travels the world in pursuit of
"That Man" - the creator of the Gears and the one responsible for the destruction of the Japanese people.

However, he pursues him not out of hatred or revenge...

Anji: "And...could I ask you to tell me about a man named Sol?"

Ky: "I have nothing to say about him!"

Anji: "Is he really human?"

Ky: "...!"

Anji: "Thanks."

Ky: "What are you talking about?! Let's go!"

==Anji VS Axl==

Anji: "You're...Axl, right? Rumored to fly around time?"

Axl: "That's right, but...who're you?"

Anji: "Ah, sorry. Last name's Mito, first name's Anji. There's something I want to ask you..."

Axl: "Don't tell me you want to know about the future..."

Anji: "Just one. Have you seen a guy named Sol in the places you fly to?"

Axl: "...hey, if you're going to joke you should just leave it at your dances."

Anji: "I'm always serious. Let's go!"

==Anji VS Baiken==

Anji: "Hey, you're Japanese, right?"

Baiken: "Huh? You trying to pick a fight?"

Anji: "I am too! It's for the sake of our common lineage, so how about a match?"

Baiken: "Huh. You're just going to get hurt."

Anji: "No problem! And...tell me about 'That Man', too."

==Anji VS Testament==

Testament: "One who appears to be a dancer has entered without knowing his limits..."

Anji: "So they exist after all! Human-Type Gears."

Testament: "You apparently want your tongue cut out."

Anji: "Is this some hostile instinct on your part?"

Testament: "No, you're just too dirty."

==Anji VS Dizzy==

Anji: "So this...is the 'Gear with Free will'..."

Dizzy: "Did you...come to kill me?"

Anji: "Sorry, sorry, I'll leave right away. But can I ask you for a match first?"

Dizzy: "With...me? (Strange person)."

Anji: "Sorry, miss."

==Anji VS Sol==

Sol: "Whaddya want?"

Anji: "I just wanted to ask you something. Hey, are Gears really evil?"

Sol: "...you a moron?"

Anji: "...sure, I know, the war. Gears are those abominable killing machines."

Sol: "..."

Anji: "But what if...Gears didn't kill humans?"

Sol: "Idiotic. Gears are weapons."

Anji: "Strong huge livestock are convenient for sickness...and anyway humans also..."

Sol: "Stop right there. If you go on...I'll kill you."

Anji: "Artificial evo--"

Sol: "Shaaa!"

==Ending 1 (Anji beat Sol)==

Anji: "Geez...I thought I was going to be killed for sure. And if Gears aren't weapons after all...
       then 'That Man' who made them...no, nevermind. It's something I won't know without meeting him.
       Now, I wonder where 'That Man' is..."

==Ending 2 (Anji lost to Sol)==

Sol: "See?"

Anji: "You fought with Justice. Then...it's not just Dizzy after all, Independent Gears that is..."

Sol: "You like running your mouth."

Anji: "I'm a man. Anji. I will neither run nor hide. If it's bad that I know the secret, please go ahead
       and kill me right now!"

Sol: "As you wish! SORYAAA!!"

Anji: "......oh? I'm still alive. For having lived 200 years he sure is sloppy on ending things..."

Sol: "You really want to die?"

Anji: "WAAH! You're still here!?"

Sol: "...next time I WILL kill you."

Anji: "Geez...he got me that time! But I won't give up. One day I'll expose 'That Man's' secrets!"


==Jam Kuradoberi==

Grilling, frying, boiling, deep-frying, washing, cutting, putting in oil. A cook who mastered the 100
martial arts of China. That is Jam. In order to found her new restaurant she set out on a journey. A
journey to...the devil's forest. In there were said to be ingredients unknown to man.

==Profile==

Height: 5'4"
Weight: Unknown
Blood type: B
Birthplace: China
Birthday: February 8
Eye color: Brown
Hobbies: Cooking, observing, researching
Favorite Thing: The kitchen, adolescence, well-built guys
Dislikes: Indecisive men, ignorant fools
Weapon: None (Ki-based Kung-Fu Style similar to Hokuto Shinken)

==Personality Profile==

Annoying, self-centered, conceited and every bit a sore loser. Treats herself with kid gloves, but rains
down hatred upon anyone weaker or more indecisive than her. (Rock stars, though, are exempted from this.)
Although she may seem hung up on all the ideals she holds dear, she is actually a stark realist, able to
look at things from a more ironic perspective. She uses this to hide her true self from others. Her
singular battle style is a result of harsh observation and a strong belief that her way, and only her way,
is the best.

==Story==

Huma and Hanagata were both top-ranking restaurants in China, but their approaches were completely
different. Huma's pride was in bringing joy to its customers through cooking filled with love, while
Hanagata emphasized creating the most exquisite dishes using only the highest-quality ingredients. Even
though they opposed each other like oil and water, they were both restaurants of high repute that every
cook aspired to work for.

Neither of these philosophies made any sense to Jam. She believed that their policies were nothing but
hindrances to bringing delicious dishes to everyone. To prove that she was right, she needed to start
her own restaurant. To obtain seed money, she seeks out the reward for eliminating the dangerous Gear.

Jam: "Sorry...ooh, this mushroom is nice. Now I can start a restaurant. You can come to it too."

Dizzy: "Which restaurant would that be?"

Jam: "The most popular restaurant in the city, of course!"


==Johnny Sfondi==

There was a man whose heart succumbed to loneliness. He knew the coldness of a world without love.
Then the man realized. Love is not something that is received. It's something that is given.
In this world, love is necessary. One who could extend his hand to lonely souls. That would be his way
of living. "A Gear who did not hurt people". The man, in that, saw a lonely soul.

Favorite Thing: His cherished guitar collection
Dislikes: Guys who don't 'get' jokes
Weapon: Iai Sword (Name Unknown, possibly 'Engetsu')

==Personality Profile==

Light-hearted in spirit and florid in tongue. Endlessly chasing after women. His apparent aloofness to
the world is just a part of his foppish demeanor, and he is far more shrewd than he appears. Both
knowledgeable and experienced, he can get past any tight situation without so much as breaking a sweat.

==Story==

When Johnny was thirteen, his father - the only person who cared for him - was killed by a Gear. 

Johnny's reluctance to open his heart to others became stronger after this incident; his fear of losing
love again forced him to withdraw into himself. One day, he discovered that there were many other orphans
just like him, and came to realize that they might not be strong enough to continue on living. From then
on, Johnny chose to follow his father's path and live as a man of compassion. It doesn't matter to him if
they are humans, animals, or even Gears; it is his duty to help those in need. Johnny decides to visit
the Gear in person, to see if he can offer support. He hides his intentions from his crew, telling them
that he is going after the bounty.

==Johnny VS Potemkin (Lost VS May)==

Johnny: "Ow...now, come on out."

Potemkin: "So you noticed."

Johnny: "That's right. Sorry, but I want Zepp to withdraw from this."

Potemkin: "This is not a personal problem. This is a national problem."

Johnny: "Precisely. Rather than leaving it to Zepp, wouldn't it be better for the problem
         to disappear entirely?"

Potemkin: "Are you saying...trust Air Pirates?"

Johnny: "Yeah."

Potemkin: "I'm sorry, but I can't do that after all."

Johnny: "I want your smile. I can wait for it, but just show me an extraordinary one."


==Venom==

A drink of water to a thirsty man. A small flame to a frozen one. And...to an unloved one, a little love.
Venom's heart was too kind for the darkness of the Assassin Syndicate. Unable to freeze his heart,
not holding the flame of hate and anger, he only shivered in the dark. 

A small flame extended...the sympathy shown to him by his superior Zato-ONE. At that moment, he swore
his undying loyalty. When Zato succumbed, Venom set out. All the while wondering if a flame burned
inside him...

Weapon: Shaft #1 (A Billiards Shaft and Magic-based kinetic Cue balls)

==Personality Profile==

Although he works as an Assassin, his mind is pure and he has trouble hiding things from others.
His actions are calm and scientific, but his thoughts are more on the romantic side. Raised in a cold
environment, he has few desires in life other than to preserve his own while he searches for some meaning
to his existence. His hatred of murder comes from the heart, and taking human lives outside of work is
tough for him to bear.

==Story==

Orphaned at a young age, Venom was taken under the wing of a group of assassins. However, his
sensibilities hindered his growth as an assassin. As time passed, he pondered the meaning of his existence.
Before long, the Organization saw him as worthless and ordered him to be executed. However, just prior to
his execution, Zato, the new leader of the Organization, recognized Venom's talent and spared his life.
Venom pledged his loyalty to Zato out of deep gratitude for saving his life and giving him his raison
d'etre. Zato soon fell out of favor, though, and rumors of his disloyalty abounded. Venom, who had served
as Zato's right-hand man for many years, knew that this slander was not true, but the evidence against him
was very strong. As doubts continue to rise, Venom receives some information regarding someone thought to
be Zato, and departs to investigate.

==Venom VS Millia==

Millia: "So, you've come out."

Venom: "Why did you betray him?"

Millia: "Are you joking? He was only using me as a convenient chess piece. I only did the same to him!"

==Testament==

There once was a kind young man. To protect the country, and the people, he became a knight.
But his simple wish was betrayed. As a Gear, he was converted, controlled by Justice, and bared
his fangs against humanity. Once freed, all that was left to him was an unbearable void...

Eye color: Red
Hobbies: Thinking
Favorite Thing: Kliff Undersn, Potatoes
Dislikes: Sol, Saitou-style martial arts
Weapon: Blood-scythe and Raven Familiar (formed from a blood contract)

==Personality Profile==

A gentle-hearted and charitable man, willing to sacrifice everything to help others. He especially
likes children, and has taken in several orphans in the past. To him, a criminal should not be punished
for his crime, but forced to reassess his evil ways instead. His curiosity knows no bounds, but his
hatred of violence borders on phobia.

==Story==

Testament was involved in a conspiracy and converted to a Gear irrespective of his intention.
Bearing strong willpower, he managed to maintain his consciousness and memory but was forced to conform
with the command of "mankind erasure" which was implanted compulsorily, and as such, he turned his fang
to mankind. With the death of Justice in the previous Tournament, Testament recovered his original
character but was tortured by the depth of his sins and felt despaired to live on his life as a human
being. He wandered around in despair, until one day he got lost in the woods and stumbled upon a place
the people called "The Devil's Living Place." It was there that Testament met Dizzy. After hearing the
narrative of her life, her existence became his reason to live. The only thing he could do is protect her
from enemies.

Not for the destruction of his opponents but rather "to protect his precious one," Testament holds
his scythe once again...

Testament: "I see, so you were chased out of the village..."

Dizzy: "Um...you are..."

Testament: "I call myself 'Testament'...I am a monster just like you."

Dizzy: "You aren't a monster..."

Testament: "Will you say so after seeing this?"

Dizzy: "Eh...?"

Testament: "It seems another pursuer has come..."

Baiken: "So the monster is here, eh?"

==Testament VS May==

Testament: "Hmph, got away..."

Dizzy: "You are very kind."

Testament: "...what were YOU watching?"

Dizzy: "You were protecting me. And...you were trying your best not to kill that person."

Testament: "Stop saying such ridiculous things!"

Dizzy: "...I know because I'm like that too. When a battle starts, the power starts to flow...
        a voice says to me 'Kill! Kill!'..."

Testament: "Gears are weapons. Killing men is our personality."

Dizzy: "But...even so we are still living."

Testament: "That is true...I've...forgotten that. Despite what I am, I used to be a knight.
            Let me offer my sword up to you."

Dizzy: "I'm so happy! So you mean you'll stay with me?"

Testament: "Yeah..."

May: "Ah-HAH! TWO Bounties!"

Testament: "Please wait here. I'll be back soon."

Dizzy: "Be careful..."

==Testament VS Potemkin==

Potemkin: "I heard there was a bodyguard, but...so it was you."

Testament: "You will not touch her. I will not turn her over to any major powers."

Potemkin: "I know it sounds unreasonable. But simply having her here will start a war."

Testament: "Hmph...even if an army comes, I will stop them."

Potemkin: "With a mountain of corpses and a river of blood...you might be able to do it.
           But is that what you really want?"

Testament: "Shut up! You hypocrites!"

==Testament VS Ky==

Testament: "Such an exaggerated outfit..."

Ky: "It's so I always remember the honor of being within the Sacred Order."

Testament: "That very Order seeks to make off with an innocent girl?"

Ky: "...won't you at least let me meet her?"

Testament: "...we demons shouldn't pretend to be angels. Fighting is what suits us best."

Ky: "...guess we have no choice."

Testament: "Yes...that is best. The only one bloodstained should be me."

==Testament VS Sol (Alternate Route)==

Sol: "...move aside."

Testament: "We only wish to live in peace! Do you mean that even you follow the ego of the filthy humans!?"

Sol: "Gears must be killed. That is all."

Testament: "But you...you are a Gear, aren't you?"

Sol: "That's precisely why."

==Ending 1==

Dizzy: "It's such a nice forest...nobody comes to find me...but I wonder, does the outside world fear us?"

Testament: "We made them afraid. That is why they do not come anymore."

Dizzy: "Someday...maybe they will understand."

Testament: "Humans? Can there be a time when they see us as something other than weapons?"

Dizzy: "Everyone dislikes Gears because of their memories of the Holy War...
        Maybe in a thousand years they will forget about Gears...then...
        Maybe we could be able to talk to them."

Testament: "Haha...that may be. Just being with you gives me hope.
            (Until those thousand years pass, I will protect you. That is my atonement.)"

==Testament VS Kliff==

Testament: "(A knight...dear father...if you saw me now, what would you say...?)"

Kliff: "My son. Why are you worrying?"

Testament: "Father? Am I...seeing a mirage?"

Kliff: "What's the matter? I'll crush your worries myself!"

==Testament VS Dizzy==

Testament: "Father, please tell me! Is what I am doing the right thing?"

Kliff: "My son, you should already know. A knight is protection. A knight is a wall.
        But a knight is also..."

Testament: "--Father!"

Dizzy: "Um, Mister Testament?"

Testament: "...ha!?"

Dizzy: "...I can't explain it well, but I want to leave this forest."

Testament: "If you stay here you can have peace, you know?"

Dizzy: "Um...I don't exactly know how to say it, but...I think just having peace isn't enough."

Testament: "I see. Then, you must be able to exceed me!"

Dizzy: "Mister Testament!?"

==Ending 2==

Dizzy: "Why did you attack me?"

Testament: "My father told me: 'A knight is a wall, a knight is protection. And also...
            A knight is support!' I was supposed to support you, but instead...
            I shut you up in this forest..."

Dizzy: "When we first met...I needed this forest...I needed a sanctuary."

Testament: "I also...needed to protect you."

Dizzy: "Now I have the courage to leave because of you."

Testament: "Then go. My duty here is finished."

Dizzy: "That's not it! It's not about protecting or being protected...can't we go together?"

Testament: "...!"

Dizzy: "Mister Testament...won't you come with me?"

Testament: "Two bounties together? We'd stick out."

Dizzy: "Then we'll run away together."

Testament: "You make things sound so simple..."

Dizzy: "I trust friends, that's all."

Testament: "It will be a tough journey, you know."

Dizzy: "It won't be that tough. Because..."

Testament: "Because of friends, right..."


==Dizzy==

An abominable abandoned child. Descendent of man and demon. An impossible being. Her name is Dizzy.
The strongest Gear on Earth, who possesses a heart. A strength that can rend the earth, burn the heavens,
and destroy humans.

While holding a strength the powers of the world seek after, what she seeks...is just some contact.

==Profile==

Height: 5'6"
Weight: 123 lbs.
Blood type: Analysis Failed
Birthplace: Unknown
Birthday: December 25 (Assumed)
Eye color: Reddish Brown
Hobbies: Grooming her wings
Favorite Thing: Foster parents, forest animals
Dislikes: Poachers
Weapon: None (Her wings "Necro" and "Undine" act as a defensive magic system)

==Personality Profile==

Born from a Gear and a human. Her growth has been dramatic, and despite her appearance, she's only just
turned three years old. Her thirst for knowledge is ravenous, however, and her mental age is already
above 20. Separated from others, her distrust of humans is the only blemish upon her soul. Enjoys
interacting with nature and other people, but hates warfare with a passion. Far from a pacifist, though,
she sees the existence of humans and their destruction of the environment as just a part of a natural
cycle - one that's dealt her a cruel fate to fight against.

==Story==

It is said that when Dizzy was abandoned in the village as an orphan, she was just a human child.
An old couple with no one to depend on took care of her. After half a year, the people of the village
became scared of her because of the speed at which her body and mind developed. One day, Dizzy found that
she had wings and a tail. It was then that the villagers decided to expel her as a Gear. But her foster
parents did not agree, so they hid her in the woods, away from the people of the village. She was placed
in an area called "The Devil's Living Place," a place that no one dared to approach. Living alone there
in a cave, her shelter was eventually discovered by humans and she was put away in confinement. The humans
tried to hurt her several times but she always drove them away without seriously wounding anyone. To
escape the cruel abuse, Dizzy finally decided to leave her dear old home...

==Dizzy VS Testament==

Dizzy: "Please. Let me go."

Testament: "Before you is the world you threw away, a world stained with blood and hate."

Dizzy: "I'm sorry. Even so I want to see it."

Testament: "You are too kind. When you meet the fools out there, it is you who will be hurt."

Dizzy: "...even so, I want to go."

Testament: "Then show me how willing you are to go through with it!"

==Dizzy VS Potemkin==

Dizzy: "Hello...are you a soldier?"

Potemkin: "By the orders of Zepp I must take you."

Dizzy: "...that's somewhat of a problem..."

Potemkin: "I'm sorry. It's an order from my Commander. You won't be hurt."

Dizzy: "...it's dangerous..."

==Dizzy VS Ky==

Dizzy: "Are you also someone out to get me?"

Ky: "I'm afraid it will end up that way."

Dizzy: "Is there...no freedom for me?"

Ky: "Those who cannot fight do not have freedom. Right now your very existence is a threat."

Dizzy: "And I didn't want this power in the first place!"

==Dizzy VS Zato==

Zato(Eddie): "I-I'VE FOUND YOU, PARASITE."

Dizzy: "Who are you?"

Zato(Eddie): "THE SAME AS YOU. A FIGHTING MACHINE WITH A HEART."

Dizzy: "How pitiful...the same as me. You've been enduring loneliness too, haven't you?"

Zato(Eddie): "YOU KNOW? THEN GIVE ME THAT BODY! I WANT TO SEE YOUR HEART!"

Dizzy: "Kyaah!"

==Dizzy VS Faust==

Dizzy: "Enough! Everyone wants to catch me...and then I end up hurting them. Because I have this power!"

Faust: "Raise your head, young lady."

Dizzy: "You've...come to take me too!"

Faust: "How terrible. A purity closed off in sadness and fear. I hate to presume,
        but allow me to heal you."

==Ending 1 (Alternate Route)==

Dizzy: "I-I! What have I done!?"

Faust: "So you've come to...good..."

Dizzy: "I'm sorry...!"

Faust: "To fall while pursuing medicine was this body's fate. Please don't be concerned..."

Dizzy: "Mr. Doctor...please don't die!"

Faust: "Listen. Humans may be foolish, but it will not do to despair. One day your day will come."

Dizzy: "Mr. Doctor...this world has no place for me. But...I won't despair anymore.
        I...will sleep until the day comes when someone can accept me.
        No matter how long it takes...I will never forget you."

==Dizzy VS May==

Dizzy: "What...I was..."

Faust: "Good, have you come to?"

Dizzy: "I'm sorry."

Faust: "You've been lost, haven't you? Searching for somewhere to be."

Dizzy: "Just because I'm here...just because I'm alive, it seems a lot of people are troubled."

Faust: "No need to worry. As long as your heart is free, the path will open to you."

(Three Days Later)

Dizzy: "Well I was told to come here, but where is this?"

May: "Kyaah! Watch out!"

Dizzy: "Eh? From the sky?"

May: "Ow ow..."

==Dizzy VS Johnny==

Dizzy: "Um...are you sure you only feel hurt?"

May: "Yeah! I was just a little surprised but it's my fault anyway. You're Dizzy, right?
      Johnny's waiting for you."

Dizzy: "You're...sky pirates?"

Johnny: "Yo, looks like May found you all right. Welcome to the Jellyfish Pirates!"

Dizzy: "I'm...allowed to stay here?"

Johnny: "To this Johnny, there is no 'No' to a pretty lady...is what I'd like to say,
         but let us test your skill..."

Dizzy: "That's dangerous! Please don't come any closer!"

Johnny: "If you don't lose yourself in battle you pass! Try winning without killing me!"

==Ending 2==

Johnny: "Whew! Okay, you pass, you pass!"

Dizzy: "That was dangerous...since everything was so serious..."

Johnny: "Hey, this Johnny will put his life on the line for a lady. You're a kind girl.
         You've just had some bad luck with men up to this point.
         So once again! Welcome to the Jellyfish Pirates!"

Dizzy: "Y-yes, thank you very much!"

Johnny: "Now everybody, prepare for the Welcoming Party!"

==Ending 3 (Alternate Route)==

(And then 100 years passed...)

Dizzy: "Captain Johnny, the reason I am here now is thanks to you. You were always cheerful and playful...
        and even so you were always fighting to protect something important. Now I have something to 
        protect as well. Please, watch over us today."

(The Same Day...)

Subordinate: "Rising to 6000 meters."

Dizzy: "Jellyfish Pirates! After me!"

Subordinate: "All forces in formation!"

Dizzy: "What about the other groups?"

Subordinate: "Third Holy Order, now deploying. Zepp Airborne Divisions #1-5 have arrived."

Dizzy: "Okay! (Will that person not be coming?)"

Subordinate: "Unidentified high energy source coming from the port!
              Communication coming in:

              "Idiot. Thinking of starting the battle without everybody here?"
               -Frederick

Dizzy: "The high energy source is an ally. Make way!"

Subordinate: "Understood! Giving recognition code."

Dizzy: "Recognition code...'Sun'. (Captain Johnny, please watch us.)
        All forces, attack! Our target is the enemy force's axis!"




==Final Notes on Transition from GGX to GGXX==

Sol: It's assumed he encountered Dizzy and left the rest to the others.

Ky: Ky saw to it that Dizzy was given sanctuary with the Pirates, as well as cleaned up the bounty
    incident by giving the 500,000 world dollars to Jam. It's unclear if Ky is aware of Sol being a Gear.
    Ky may have encountered Robo-Ky later on, however.


May: Along with Faust, meets Dizzy before Johnny, as Johnny clears things up with Zepp.

Millia: Wasn't entirely successful in killing Zato, however she does meet him one last final time before he is
        consumed by Eddie. Despite this, she claims she killed him.
        Her goal is still to put an end to Eddie and take apart the Organization.

Potemkin: Was unable to retrieve Dizzy, however he has stated he will keep an eye on the Jellyfish Pirates
          alongside Ky. He is also part of the cover-up regarding Dizzy.

Chipp: After meeting Dizzy and several others, he goes back into secluded training.
       In particular he focuses on Venom and the Assassin Organization that killed his Master.

Axl: According the Accent Core Plus Story, he did indeed have a time jump during the Crusades and landed
     on top of Kliff (in Kliff's story). Prior to this, he did meet with Faust who suggested he consult
     with "That Man" about his time jumping condition.  He'll also be meeting a 'musician in red' later...

Faust: Was instrumental in helping Dizzy find a new home away from the Devil's Forest. Also helped
       any injured persons in the village nearby caught up in the incident. Helped Dizzy's little friend
       Josephine as well (from the Drama CD). He is later seen keeping an eye on the frail Eddie, though
       he did not take the Symbiote into his body (as Eddie still kept Zato's body).

Zato-ONE: During GGX he struggles with his human and Eddie personas, only surfacing when Millia or a woman
          is nearby. He dies completely after GGX. As of GGXX only a dying Eddie remains.
          Venom unsuccessfully continues to pursue him, with Faust watching him.
          Millia is unable to cope with him in this state. Thus Slayer comes further into the picture.
          Eddie now seeks meaning and hope from the Gear called Dizzy.

Baiken: Most likely she was the first one to take on Testament, but was brushed aside and wandered around
        a bit. Flirts a bit with Johnny and encounters Anji for the first time.
        Hers isn't a story that is cohesive with the others. She most likely knows Sol is a Gear.
        She's going to be dealing with a fake bounty on her later.

Anji: Meets Baiken and is fascinated with her story. Also curious about Dizzy and the Gears' Origins.
      Encounters Sol and clashes, and continues to journey, looking for "That Man".
      Might have been the one to tip off to Ky that Sol is a Gear. On the run from authorities for
      stealing Zessen, the Sacred Treasure supposedly meant to maintain a barrier around the Japanese Colony,
      not to mention a fake bounty later put on him.

Jam: It seems that Jam's restaurant DID in fact get destroyed by Dizzy by accident, but the bounty money more
     than took care of the damages. As of GGXX she just finished her repairs of the place.
     She has her eye on Ky now...for more reasons than one.

Johnny: Took care of Zepp, had a talk with Ky, and managed to keep Dizzy hidden away from everyone else.
        Testament is still concerned, however...Starts to think about May's Japanese origins.
        Flirted with Millia and Baiken a bit.

Venom: Is juggling pursuing Zato, Millia, and the conspiracy following Zato's absence from the Guild.
       He got spotted by Chipp and Faust, so there will be trouble later on. Slayer will give him grief too.
       Testament still owes him one for kidnapping Josephine and triggering the events that exposed Dizzy.
       IPF is also looking for him, so he is a wanted criminal.

Testament: It's unclear if he fought with Dizzy, but he is confident she is well-protected and hidden,
           though he has doubts about Johnny's competence. Continues to keep watch over the forest for now...
           Though Chipp may be giving him grief over a place to train.
           Still hates Sol and thinks about his Step-father. Ky is suspicious of his origin though.

Dizzy: Rescued by the Pirates, made friends with Potemkin, Sol (somewhat), Ky, and a few others.
       Isn't sure of what to make of the Jellyfish's way of greeting new recruits though...
       Begins to ponder the outside world more...and worried about Testament a bit. She's going to be dealing
       with I-No soon though...
