00:00Thirty years ago, the Abyss Rifts tore open.
00:04Metal monsters came through.
00:07The body count never stopped.
00:09So humanity did what it does best.
00:12We built something bigger, and hit back.
00:16Megs run on neural sync.
00:18Better connection, bigger punch.
00:22Me?
00:23Cole Astra.
00:24Forty percent sync.
00:25To my family, that makes me a disgrace with a pulse.
00:31Minor rift in Sector 1.
00:33All Astra heirs, deploy and secure the resource hall.
00:37Resources are the mission.
00:39Civilians are expecting...
00:54Bad intel!
00:55Gold class hostile in Sector 1.
00:58Everybody fall back!
01:00What?
01:01We're dead!
01:02The pilots already left us!
01:10Move!
01:12Now!
01:19Oh, come on.
01:21Fuck.
01:31Seriously?
01:33This is how I die?
01:36Core carrier, destroyed.
01:38Life signs, critical.
01:40Core activation and issues.
01:43Mom brought this back from the Abyss 30 years ago.
01:46A fragment of a civilization way beyond ours.
01:49Everyone else needs a mech.
01:52Me?
01:53I absorb its energy.
01:55Gold tier 3?
01:56I can smash through it bare-handed.
01:58Alright.
02:00My turn.
02:04My turn.
02:06I won't be happy.
02:13You might be happy.
02:15Oh wait, where are you?
02:15Oh wait.
02:19I won't be a fly again.
02:23What are you doing?
02:28BODY HOT
02:30Charles! It's Cole! He's alive!
02:32Cole? Your mech was destroyed.
02:34A washout like you doesn't survive that.
02:37Sorry to ruin your night, Charles.
02:39Lucky me.
02:40You've got a lot of nerve walking back into my house.
02:43You ignored a direct order, trashed a scout,
02:47and cost this family a fortune!
02:49Dad, I saved dozens of lives.
02:51They matter more than a machine.
02:53That machine belonged to this family!
02:57Five mechs, Cole!
02:59You've destroyed five, and you're still dead weight!
03:02They were never yours.
03:04I killed the hostiles, claimed the salvage,
03:07and paid for everyone myself!
03:09Don't lie to me!
03:10He's not lying, William!
03:12Don't cover for him!
03:14You think I haven't noticed?
03:16You've been sifling astro resources into his mechs and boosters behind my back.
03:21How much more are you gonna waste on him?
03:23You know the rules, Catherine.
03:25We invest in talent. Kate and me.
03:28Not a 40% washout.
03:30Cole is telling the truth.
03:34He's your son.
03:35Does that mean nothing to you?
03:38Enough.
03:39I won't listen to another lie.
03:43Lay a hand on her and you'll lose it.
03:48You pathetic little...
03:49You think you can stop me?
03:51Here's your one chance.
03:53Let go, or you're out of this family for good.
03:57Fine.
03:58I've been done with this heartless family for years.
04:01Come on, Mom.
04:02We're leaving.
04:03Cole!
04:04Without the astro name, you're nobody!
04:09The Rift Trials are in ten days.
04:12City Hall's putting up an Abyss resource caching for the winner.
04:15And I'll crush that precious astro pride with my bare hands.
04:19Then you'll know exactly how wrong you were.
04:21You!
04:24Hmph.
04:26He made his choice.
04:27Ten days is more than enough time for that loser to get himself killed.
04:31And the marriage deal with the Hertz?
04:33Simple.
04:34I'll take Grace off his hands.
04:36The Hertz aren't gonna waste their daughter on a washout when they can have me.
04:42Isn't that right, Dad?
04:46Cole.
04:47Take this.
04:48It's my old gold tier two, the Abathomus.
04:51He'll keep you alive out there.
04:53Mom.
04:53You're not coming?
04:55If I go, I'll only slow you down.
04:57I'm still a Carter.
04:58Your father won't risk touching me.
05:01Okay, Mom.
05:06Love you, Mom!
05:07Hang tight!
05:08I'll get you out soon.
05:31God, I hate these things.
05:52You can't be everywhere, Cole.
05:55Grace?
05:56You can't be everywhere, Cole.
05:58You can't be everywhere, Cole.
06:03Grace?
06:04Nice going, hero.
06:05You trashed your mech for a bunch of noities.
06:08Again.
06:09Almost forgot.
06:11Grace and I are engaged.
06:15Cole may be a loser, but at least he has a soul.
06:21Save it.
06:22We've got a city to save.
06:41Wake up, Grace!
06:44The world bows to power!
06:47Call me heartless.
06:49See if I care!
06:51No!
06:52No!
06:52No!
06:53No!
06:54No!
06:54No!
06:55No!
06:59No!
07:00No!
07:05No!
07:05It's platinum class!
07:07Minimum!
07:11It's better you than me.
07:18You son of a bitch!
07:23Coward!
07:34The astro name just got a lot cleaner.
07:47Almost there.
07:48One more hit and this thing is toast.
07:50Come on, hold together a little longer.
07:53Charles, you beautiful bastard.
07:56You finally did me a favor.
07:59Finally, a real fight.
08:02You're leagues above that coward from before.
08:04If you're that eager to die, I won't keep you waiting.
08:19It worked!
08:21His mech's gone.
08:23And he's laughing.
08:24Is he insane?
08:26Crazy doesn't matter.
08:28He dies.
08:29Now!
08:33Thanks.
08:34You just took the limiter off.
08:41Okay.
08:42That feels incredible.
08:44All the power of a mech. No armor required.
08:47This is what platinum feels like.
08:53What are you?
08:59A platinum core.
09:01On the black market, this buys me a mech at the same tier.
09:10No. No way. It's dead.
09:14Who did this?
09:18Grace, you took down the fallen nun?
09:21It wasn't me. Whoever did this is way out of my league.
09:25Whatever did this, it wasn't mech power.
09:28Wait. That's a piece of mech armor.
09:32It's from Cole's mech. The epharmia.
09:35If it shattered this badly, he didn't make it.
09:39The astras cast him out. Nobody's losing sleep about him.
09:45One platinum class mech.
09:47That's a fallen nun core.
09:49You killed it?
09:50You know better than to ask.
09:52Right. None of my business.
09:55Platinum tier two.
09:57Meet the Thunderlord.
09:59Thanks. We're square.
10:02The astras tossed him out as dead weight.
10:06They're in for one.
10:10The Abyss Arena is open.
10:12The resource trials are about to begin.
10:15Win the trials, Charles.
10:17And the astras will be set for generations.
10:19That kind of hall will make us the greatest dynasty Ironwatch has ever seen.
10:27Count on it, father.
10:28I'll be the champion this family deserves.
10:34My brother's in another league.
10:37Cole couldn't even survive the monsters.
10:43You did this!
10:45Cole's dead because of you!
10:47You murdered your own brother!
10:52Oh, Aunt Catherine.
10:55That loser finally earned his keep.
10:58He bought me a few seconds.
11:02Brother?
11:03Please.
11:05Alive, he was a stain on the astra name.
11:08Dead?
11:10He finally did us a favor.
11:12You believe that too?
11:13Your son is dead and you don't feel a damn thing!
11:17I disowned him.
11:18He was no son of mine.
11:19You bastard!
11:21Cole was right!
11:22There's not a human heart in this entire family!
11:33I'm sorry, Mom.
11:36I never meant to put you...
11:38How the hell are you still breathing?
11:40There was nothing left of your mech!
11:43What?
11:44Not happy to see me?
11:45I told you.
11:47I'm tearing down everything the astras think makes them untouchable.
11:51You survived on dumb luck.
11:54No mech.
11:54No trials.
11:56You're still the same worthless nobody.
11:59Keep dreaming.
12:03Mom, you didn't deserve any of this.
12:06When I get back from the arena,
12:08we're leaving this place for good.
12:33That's Thunderlord!
12:35A Platinum Tier 2 mech!
12:38A Platinum Tier 2 mech!
12:52That's Thunderlord!
12:54A Platinum Tier 2 mech!
12:56No way!
12:58Where'd he get the cash for a top-tier mech?
13:00You scheming bitch!
13:02You raided the family accounts again!
13:04You bought him that mech!
13:06Once you're inside,
13:07take the gloves off.
13:09Show that loser no mercy.
13:10Consider it done, Father!
13:12I'll wipe that stain off the astro name myself.
13:33I'll wipe that stain off the astro name myself.
13:34And now, the fun begins.
13:41Rankings are live.
13:42The top ten advance to round two.
13:44The top two move on to the final.
13:47The last fighter standing earns the right to rule Iron Hell.
13:51This field is stacked.
13:53All four powerhouse families go to
13:55The Astros, Millers, Browns, and Davies.
13:58And James Wilson.
14:00No family, no backup.
14:02Just a lone wolf who fought his way in.
14:11Cole?
14:12The Astro washout is sitting at number 11?
14:15Hostiles aren't the only way to score.
14:17Drop another fighter, you take their points.
14:20Cole probably got lucky and picked off somebody else's haul.
14:23Even Deadweight gets lucky once in a while, fine.
14:26I'll have him forfeit to Charles or Emily
14:28and hand over his points.
14:30At least then he'll be useful to this family.
14:39Surprise, little brother.
14:41Miss me?
14:48Surprise, little brother.
14:50Miss me?
14:51Hand over the points.
14:53Put Charles in the top five.
15:02You know what I hate about you, Cole?
15:05That look on your face, like you still don't know your place.
15:10Arrogance.
15:11A weak man who forgets his place?
15:15That's arrogance.
15:16Show me what you've got, Cole!
15:19I'll take your points.
15:21Put the Astras on top and rule Iron Heaven!
15:24You want a demonstration?
15:27Careful what you wish for.
15:32Cole, this world only makes room for the strong.
15:36Everyone else gets crushed.
15:40Cole!
15:51Interesting.
15:53A Platinum Tier 2 mech that hits harder than my Tier 3.
15:56So that's it.
15:57Your raw strength is amplifying the armor.
16:01Still think I'm the arrogant one?
16:04You're dead!
16:05No!
16:07No!
16:08No!
16:08No!
16:09No!
16:10No!
16:10No!
16:14So this is the Astras' so-called failure.
16:18He doesn't look like much of a failure to me.
16:20If you don't want him, William, the Browns would be happy to take him off your hands.
16:25Stay out of Astra business, Brent.
16:32I poured every resource we had into Charles.
16:35He doesn't lose.
17:04See that, little brother?
17:06That's the difference between an S-Class Platinum mech and your A-Class toy.
17:17Let's end this, Cole, along with every delusion you ever had.
17:24No.
17:25Cole's sensor is down, and Charles just ripped his out.
17:29No one can see them now.
17:31This is bad.
17:33I knew Charles would deliver.
17:37Cole got one lucky break and mistook it for talent.
17:41A nobody's still a nobody.
17:43I'll give you this, Cole.
17:46You made me use everything I had.
17:49That's more than most can say.
17:52But none of it changes what you are.
17:54I was born to stand in the light.
17:57You were born to rot in my shadow.
18:05Disappointing.
18:06You gave me everything you had.
18:08And only brought out 30% of my power.
18:14Keep bluffing.
18:15You're still a dead man!
18:22Where the hell did he go?
18:24You're looking for me.
18:37No.
18:38That's impossible.
18:40Your mech is gone.
18:41Nothing moves that fast.
18:43Nothing hits that hard.
18:45What's wrong, Charles?
18:47Have I outclassed you so badly you're starting to question reality?
18:55Now tell me, Charles.
18:57Who's crawling in the dirt?
18:58No!
18:59This isn't possible!
19:01You lost the mech and got stronger?
19:04All that rage won't make you stronger, Charles.
19:08It just makes you sloppy.
19:13How are you this strong?
19:20You've had the story backwards your whole life, Charles.
19:24You think my mother married up?
19:25The Astras were bankrupt.
19:27Your father begged her to marry him.
19:29Then she poured Carter money into this family and brought it back from the dead.
19:33You've treated me like a threat since the day I was born.
19:36You kept me down because you were terrified I'd take your inheritance.
19:40But you never understood.
19:42I never wanted your inheritance.
19:44I never wanted the Astras.
19:46None of it ever meant a thing to me.
19:49The only thing I ever wanted
19:51was to keep her safe.
19:56Charles Astra has been eliminated.
20:04Cole?
20:05Look!
20:06The leaderboard!
20:10No way!
20:12Cole?
20:13He's the 40% joke?
20:16How did he beat a prodigy like Charles?
20:19How the hell did that useless chat beat Charles?
20:22William, your eye for talent really is terrible.
20:26Two airs under your own roof, and you backed the wrong one.
20:44Round one is over.
20:46The top ten advance.
20:54Round two is underway.
20:57Every hostile in that zone is Platinum Tier 3 or higher.
21:01They have one hour.
21:03When the clock runs out,
21:05only the top two scorers advance to the final showdown.
21:10Cole got lucky.
21:11He caught Charles off guard.
21:13That's the only reason Charles is out.
21:15Kate's still in there.
21:16And Astro will make the top two.
21:21Hand over your points and you walk away in one piece.
21:24Don't take it personally.
21:26Michael Brown's out of our league.
21:28You're not.
21:33Is that right?
21:35Then you pick the wrong target.
21:44What the hell is that?
21:46It's a bra!
21:48Together!
21:49Take it down!
22:10Judgement!
22:12Judgement!
22:22That didn't come from a mech.
22:24He dropped them in one hit?
22:27Three Platinum Class fighters?
22:29Gone in one shot?
22:32That ungrateful brat!
22:34Where the hell did he get that kind of power?
22:37He just wiped out three Platinum Class fighters without a mech.
22:40Looks like Michael finally has some competition.
22:45Grace,
22:46you were wrong, though.
22:48First place,
22:50First place,
22:50Michael Brown.
22:50Second place,
22:51Cole Astra.
22:52Third place,
22:53James Wilson.
22:55Fourth place,
22:55Grace.
22:56Fifth place,
22:57Kate Astro.
23:04Every bone in his body is orbital-grade-yostingdom.
23:07Damn it!
23:08I can't even scratch him!
23:10So much for the Hurst family's golden girl.
23:14Before this is over,
23:16I'm gonna make you scream.
23:24Him?
23:25Cole!
23:26Let's make a deal!
23:28Pass.
23:29You're getting desperate,
23:30Grace.
23:31He's an Astra.
23:32Reject.
23:33If he gets in my way,
23:35I'll tear him apart, too!
23:38Alright,
23:39what's the deal?
23:41I can live with losing.
23:43I won't lose to that cyborg freak.
23:45Help me put him down.
23:47When this is over,
23:49you get a Diamond Tier 3 mech.
23:51Worth a hundred million dollars.
23:53Now we're talking.
23:55But,
23:56we don't need to team up.
23:58Cole, don't take him head on!
24:00His skeleton is Chutania!
24:04You really want it?
24:06No!
24:16That silver energy.
24:18The night of the outbreak.
24:20The fighter who dropped the fallen nun in one hit.
24:23It was him.
24:24He's been hiding this the whole time.
24:27How are your bare hands stronger than my...
24:30We're done.
24:32James Wilson eliminated.
24:34Cole,
24:35you're the real deal.
24:37The Hurts are prepared to reinstate our engagement.
24:43Mrs. Hurst,
24:44when I was weak,
24:45marrying me was beneath you.
24:47Now I win one fight,
24:48and suddenly the engagement's back on?
24:51That's quite a turnaround.
24:53I've always respected strength.
24:55I don't bet on pity, Cole.
24:57I bet on winners.
24:58And right now,
24:59you look like one.
25:00I respect the honesty.
25:02I'm still not marrying you.
25:04Suit yourself.
25:05Yeah.
25:07One more thing.
25:09What are you doing?
25:11I'm taking your points.
25:20Wow.
25:21Not much of a gentleman, are you?
25:23One warning, Cole.
25:25Michael Brown is the real deal.
25:27Don't underestimate him.
25:29Grace Hurst eliminated.
25:40The Astras?
25:42That's it?
25:47Kate Astra eliminated.
25:54Let's hope you can at least make this
25:57an interesting.
26:19Kate, talk to me.
26:20How bad is it?
26:24I'm fine.
26:27Don't pretend you care.
26:29Charles and I are out,
26:30and your precious son
26:31is still out there
26:32stealing the show.
26:33You must be loving this.
26:35Kate,
26:36even if Cole loses
26:37to Michael Brown,
26:38his final ranking
26:40still comes with
26:41a massive resource.
26:43Enough to put
26:43the Astras on top.
26:45Dad, you lost your mind.
26:47You think Cole's
26:48giving us a damn thing?
26:49His neural sink
26:50is 40%.
26:51The only way
26:52he gets this strong
26:53is a black market
26:54gene booster.
26:55One that burns
26:55through his life
26:56to fuel the power.
26:57He's a dead man walking.
26:59Once the drug wears off,
27:00one kind word from me,
27:01and he'll come crawling back
27:02like a dog.
27:03He won't dare
27:04defy me again.
27:05The only way
27:06he gets this strong
27:06is a black market
27:07gene booster.
27:08One that burns
27:09through his life
27:10to fuel the power.
27:11He's a dead man walking.
27:12Once the drug wears off,
27:13one kind word from me,
27:15and he'll come crawling
27:16back like a dog.
27:17He won't dare
27:17defy me again.
27:18two that kırk.
27:27He won't be far from you.
27:29One that burns
27:35to you.
27:35One that burns
27:42through his life.
27:43Two shots were
28:11Well, you are a surprise.
28:15It's been a long time since anyone made me pay attention.
28:20Submit, Cole. Take your place at my side and together we'll be unstoppable.
28:27Funny. I was about to offer you the same deal.
28:31Ereggan bastard.
28:50Now this is fun.
28:54That raw power. I've never seen anything like it.
28:59You really were worth the wait.
29:24You're miles ahead of those two useless siblings of yours.
29:28It's been years since anyone landed a clean hit on me.
29:31Too bad. This still ends with you losing.
29:35This is my era and I'm the one taking the throne.
29:40Thunderstorm!
29:49Thunder. Now that's power.
29:53One last hit. Shatter the mech.
29:57And I break into Diamond Tear.
29:59Judgment!
30:14Strong, Cole.
30:15But there's only one throne in this era and it belongs to me.
30:21This ends now.
30:23Too late. Thunderlord's power is already mine.
30:39No.
30:41No! That's impossible!
30:44Michael.
30:46I owe you one.
30:52You gave me the final push I needed.
31:01What the hell is happening?
31:04My body? It's afraid of him?
31:08My turn.
31:12Cole's back on his feet.
31:14He crushed Michael Brown's lightning spear with his bare hands.
31:17That blue energy.
31:18Is that lightning?
31:20His mech is gone.
31:21How is he controlling it?
31:24The feed's down?
31:25What happened?
31:27Michael Brown.
31:28Vitals critical.
31:29Eliminated.
31:30The Ironhold Aerial Championship is officially over.
31:34Your champion, Cole Astra, representing the Astra family.
31:41Cole won.
31:42A 40% Neurosynch reject just took down a Diamond Class pilot.
31:47It's a miracle!
31:49Ironhold hasn't seen anything like this in a hundred years.
31:52No.
31:53There's no way.
31:54There's no damn way.
31:55My boy.
31:56That's my boy.
32:00He's in the race.
32:01He's in the race.
32:02He's in the race.
32:06Michael.
32:07What the hell happened in there?
32:09How did he do that to your Diamond Class mech?
32:12From this day forward, I answer to Cole Astra.
32:23Look!
32:24That's the Mayor's airship!
32:26Mayor Lee...
32:28He came in person!
32:43Outstanding!
32:44Outstanding!
32:45Absolutely outstanding!
32:46A man who can face a mech with his bare hands.
32:49If humanity has fighters like you, the Abyss doesn't stand a chance!
32:53By the authority of Ironhold, I name Cole Astra champion of the Abyss Resource Trial.
33:01The prize?
33:03One Master Tier 3 mech.
33:06Three Diamond Tier 3s and 10 Platinum Tier 3s.
33:12Effective immediately, Cole Astra is Deputy Mayor of Ironhold!
33:17He'll receive 30% of the city's strategic reserve and command authority over the Ironhold Mech Guard.
33:2630% of the entire city reserve?
33:30Talk about going straight to the top.
33:3314 Tier 3 mechs, Deputy Manor!
33:36That's enough to build a top-tier dynasty from nothing!
33:4114 Tier 3 mechs, Deputy Manor!
33:44That's enough to build a top-tier dynasty from nothing!
33:50Mr. Astra, impressive work.
33:55Raising a fighter like Cole must have taken everything the Astra family had.
34:01Everything in this ring belongs to the Astras.
34:06You've earned it.
34:08Deputy Mayor, Elite Resources.
34:11The Astra are about to own Ironhold!
34:15Mayor Lee, you're too kind.
34:17When it came to Cole, no investment was ever too great.
34:21What a crock.
34:24William just hit the damn jackpot!
34:28Everybody knows he treated Cole like garbage.
34:31Beat him.
34:33Humiliated him.
34:34And now he gets the reward?
34:43Cole, what is this?
34:47Those resources belong with the family.
34:49We'll keep them safe for you.
34:52You threw me out, remember?
34:55To you, I was dead weight.
34:57An expendable son you were perfectly willing to let die.
35:00Mr. Astra, care to explain?
35:03Mayor Lee, it's a misunderstanding.
35:07Just a family spit.
35:09The boys acting out.
35:14It's not a misunderstanding, Mayor.
35:17William gave everything to Charles and Kate.
35:19And cut Cole and his mother off completely.
35:22When the border settlement came under attack,
35:24Charles shoved Cole straight into the hostile swarm.
35:30The Astros haven't earned a damn thing!
35:33Since when does a hearse get to medal in Astro business?
35:37Enough!
35:41Cole, you bled for this victory.
35:44What happens to the prize is your call and yours alone.
35:49Enough!
35:49Enough!
35:52Cole, you bled for this victory.
35:55What happens to the prize is your call and yours alone.
36:00Honor guard!
36:12Deputy Mayor!
36:16Cole, like it or not, my blood runs through your veins.
36:21I'm still your father!
36:23Are you really gonna cut me off like this?
36:26Father, you gave up that right a long time ago.
36:30She's the only family I have.
36:37Mom, I promised you that one day,
36:40everyone here would look up to you.
36:42From this day on,
36:44no one in Ironheld will ever look down on you again!
36:47Yes!
36:49Yes!
36:50The competition is officially over!
36:54Cole, bring your mother.
36:55You're coming with me.
36:57We need to talk.
36:58All right.
37:13Ungrateful bastard!
37:14That worthless little...
37:17How dare he humiliate me!
37:19How dare he!
37:24William!
37:26We're done with the asterisk!
37:28Every contract ends today!
37:32We've been partners for 10 years.
37:34You can't just...
37:36Partners?
37:38Spare me.
37:39Anyone with judgment that bad
37:41will drag us down with him.
37:44Cancel the deals.
37:45Pull every dollar.
37:48Now.
37:51Wait!
37:52We can work this out!
37:54The Astros still have assets!
37:55We still have leverage!
37:57He had a gold mine in his own house and threw it away.
38:00What an idiot.
38:01The Astros are finished.
38:03No!
38:11Cole...
38:12I'm leaving for the front.
38:15Ironhold is in your hands now.
38:18Mayor, what's happening?
38:21The front is collapsing.
38:23The Abyss has launched a full-scale assault.
38:26What?
38:27The attacks were contained.
38:29What changed?
38:30This isn't another raid.
38:32Classified intel confirms three demigod-class hostiles.
38:35The entire war just changed.
38:59What do you need from me?
39:00I know you're hiding something, Cole.
39:04I don't need to know what it is.
39:06I don't know if I'm coming back from the front,
39:08or whether humanity has a future if we fail.
39:12So while I'm gone, get stronger, whatever it takes.
39:17You have full access to Ironhold's strategic reserve,
39:21and full command authority over the mech guard.
39:27Understood.
39:31Silverwing and Thunderlord won't be enough for what's coming.
39:35If I'm going to survive what's coming,
39:37I need more power.
39:38I need to absorb every high-tier mech I can get my hands on.
39:42That's how I reach the top,
39:43and tear through anything in my way.
39:46A mech can be powerful,
39:48but it's still borrowed power.
39:50The only power no one can take from me
39:52is the power in my own body.
40:03Come on.
40:05See if you can break me.
40:07Here goes!
40:09Everyone, hit him with everything you've got!
40:11Don't hold back!
40:38One month, and I've already come this far.
40:41Now I'm only one step away from becoming a demigod.
40:49Still not enough.
40:52My mind has reached its limit.
40:54Until I push past that limit,
40:56my body can't hold any more mech power.
41:04In one month,
41:06we've lost nine defensive lines
41:07and 39 cities.
41:11Even the mayor!
41:23Ironhold does not fall today!
41:26Captain Lee,
41:27the surrounding cities are already evacuating.
41:29Do we follow?
41:30The deputy mayor hasn't emerged,
41:32and our civilians are still here.
41:34We're not leaving them behind!
41:36Evacuate the civilians first.
41:38Requisition every transport airboat
41:40owned by the four families
41:41and fill every seat.
41:43Those families built their fortunes
41:45on Ironhold's resources.
41:47Now Ironhold collects.
41:49The Hurits are in.
41:50Every airship we have is standing by.
41:52So are the Browns.
41:53Right.
41:54The Millers are in, too.
41:56And the Astras?
41:57The airships are among our most valuable assets.
42:01My father,
42:02he won't sign off.
42:04Does William think the monsters
42:06give a damn about his balance sheet?
42:11Facial readings over Ironhold
42:12just went off the charts!
42:19We've got a full-scale invasion incoming!
42:30What's the status?
42:32Seven captains.
42:33Five dead.
42:34Units four and six are gone.
42:35No survivors.
42:37Civilian casualties are over 30%.
42:39We've lost more than a dozen evacuation transports.
42:41We've lost more than a dozen transports.
42:49Cole!
42:51How much longer are you going to stay locked away?
42:55Ironhold is dying!
43:00I heard you.
43:02I heard you.
43:37nature has one law the strong survive your entire squad is dead why keep fighting
43:47and what did it buy you you gave everything your life and barely scratched me

47:31How is this possible?
47:38Thanks. You helped me unlock its true power.
48:01We're alive. We made it!
48:10It's over. Cole, you saved Ironhold. You saved every one of us.
48:16I don't hand out respect, Cole Astra, but today you've earned mine and everyone else's.
48:23Hero! Hero! Hero!
48:26Cole, I've never been prouder.
48:29Ironhold is safe, but she wasn't the only one.
48:33There are more threats waiting beyond this city.
48:36Mom, I'll come home. Sooner. I promise.
48:40How is this possible?
48:47To be continued...
