Lilia: The bleeding...it won't stop! What do I do!?
Collin: Just...stop, Lilia. There's nothing you can do..for me...
Blue: We're not going to let you die, Collin.
Collin: You don't..have much of a choice. Just hurry. Go on...without me.
ILS: Collin, why!? Why did you do it!? Why did you save me!?
Collin: What...do you mean? You're my...hero, ILS...sir. I'd do..anything for..you..
ILS: But...but you're too young to die here. I..I can't believe this is happening.
*tears begin to trickle down ILS's face*
Collin: Why are you crying? I...I couldn't be..happier...
ILS: What..?
Collin: I finally...got the chance...to fight side by side with my hero. It was like...a dream come true...
ILS: Collin! I want you to keep fighting alongside us! Please, don't die! Not yet!
Collin: I'm...afraid that can't happen...sir. My time...is up...
ILS: No!!
Jawo: Kid...
*Jawo turns his head in an attempt to hide his tears*
Collin: Jawo...you're..crying again...
Jawo: *sniff* N-no I'm not! It's...it's the heat again!
Collin: Heh..heh. ILS was right about you. You may be all big and tough...but you're just...a big softie on the...inside. That's what I like...about you.
Jawo: Collin...you brat. *sniff*
Lilia: Collin! Please don't go! We need you here with us!
Collin: Li-lia..
Lilia: Uh?
Collin: Your love...for Blue..is very strong...
Lilia: Wha-..but how did you...
Collin: I read your mind. Promise me...that you'll stay by him. Always lend him your support, so that he'll have the strength to make it through...
Lilia: *sniff* I promise...
Collin: Good. Rachel...
Rachel: Yes, Collin?
Collin: I know that...you're a great friend to ILS. Promise me that you'll continue being a friend to him, and watch over him in his times of need. He cares deeply for you...and would be sad if you ever left him...
Rachel: I understand.
Collin: And Blue...
Blue: Collin.
Collin: You're a very strong man. I peered into your heart. I saw all of the hardships you've endured over the years. I saw...how you risked your life day after day for the sake of Earth and its people. Just know...that I was honored to have been able to fight with someone as gallant as you.
Blue: Thank you, Collin. You've been a great help to us too, you know. Had it not been for you, we wouldn't have gotten this far. And for that, you have my gratitude.
Collin: Thanks, Blue. That means...a lot...to me...Nngh! Aaa-aagh!!
*Collin graps his wound in pain*
ILS: Collin!!
Collin: I guess...this is it for me...
ILS: Collin wait!
Collin: It's...okay, sir. I've lived my dream..and I have no regrets. I just wish...that I could've...spent more time...with you...
ILS: Collin, don't go! Wait! Please!
*Collin's body falls limp and his life fades*
Collin: ...
ILS: He's...gone...
*Just then, Squall emerges from Collin's dead body*
Squall: Hey, what's going on!? Kid? Kid!? What happened to you!?
Blue: Uhm...who are you..?
Squall: I'm Squall, Collin's djinni. Now tell me what happened to him, now!
ILS: Collin..he..gave his life...to save me.
Squall: You...you're ILS, aren't you?
ILS: I am.
Squall: I see. Now I'm not surprised at all. The kid would never stop talking about how much of a hero you were and yadda yadda. He really looked up to you, you know.
ILS: I know. He was a good kid.
Squall: In fact, he told me that the one reason he became a bounty hunter, was to be just like his hero. Would you say he lived up to your expectations?
ILS: Oh no. He far exceeded them. He's more than I could ever be...
Squall: Ah, if only he could've heard you say that. That would've really made his year. ...Oh Collin, why did you have to die so soon...?
*Collin's body begins to float*
Squall: I guess it's time for us to go.
Blue: Wait, where are you taking Collin's body?
Squall: To Contigo.
Jawo: Contigo?
Squall: Yeah, it's his home. I figured the least I could do is give him a proper burial.
ILS: Okay. Just..take good care of him.
Squall: You got it, bub. Come on, kid. Let's..get you home.
*Both Squall and Collin's body disappear*
Blue: Well...are you all ready to go?
Jawo: ..Yeah...
Lilia: Mhm.
Rachel: *nods*
Blue: ILS?
ILS: No...I'm not...
Blue: ILS, we need to move on. We can't stay here any longer.
ILS: How could you say that!? Our friend just died!!!
Blue: I know that. But he sacrificed his life, so that we could keep going. Don't forget what he stood for.
ILS: ...Yeah. You're right! I'll...I'll be the hero that Collin believed me to be!
Blue: Okay! Now we're talkin'.
ILS: But one more thing.
Blue: Huh?
ILS: I want...to get revenge.
Blue: You don't have to worry about that.
Jawo: Yeah, we'll make sure that Agaranok get's his for killing Collin.
Lilia: All of us will.
Rachel: Together.
ILS: Thanks, guys.
Blue: Now let's go. We have a friend to avenge.
