Amidst the blue skies, a link from past to future. The sheltering wings of the protector...
The flames of hatred scorch the skies, igniting Gaia's funeral pyre...

Amidst the eternal waves of time
From a ripple of change shall the storm rise
Out of the abyss peer the eyes of a demon
Behold the Razgriz, its wings of black sheath
The demon soars through dark skies
Fear and death trail in its shadow beneath
Until men united wield a hallowed sabre
In final reckoning, the beast is slain
As the demon sleeps man turns on man
His blood and madness soon cover the earth
From the depths of despair awaken the Razgriz
Its black wings ablaze in majestic light
Focus. Control. Resolve. A true ace lacks none of these attributes. Nothing can deter you from the task at hand except your own fears. This is your sky. (Operation Katina, shown directly below the mission objectives)

Jack "Heartbreak 1" Bartlett

"I hate not being able to move in three dimensions. Cramps my style."
"I don't mind all the attractions guys, but next time, pay for your own tickets!"
"You know, you've always been too damn serious, Hamilton."
"Hey, don't be showing those legs too much. It's distracting."

Kei "Edge" Nagase

AWACS Thunderhead: "Edge, you lead the formation."
Nagase: "No, Blaze is leading, I'll protect his six o'clock and I'm not gonna lose another flight lead."
"It's like this enemy came straight out of the demon legends."
"Razgriz, the demon from the world of fairy tales."

Marcus "Swordsman" Snow

"Quit screwing around, this is war! The enemy is all over and they're gonna eat you alive!"

Alvin "Chopper" Davenport

"Oh yeah, just weave through the missiles. What are you, NUTS?!"
"These guys sound as beautiful as Thunderhead. Sweet as a rose, I tell ya."
"Heh heh...I'm gonna miss that voice."
"Chopper damnit is there nothing we can do? Blaze no.

Chopper damnit! seagoblin you said it.

Hans "Archer" Grimm

"Oh, he'll quiet down. It wouldn't be a surprise attack if he came with us."
"I believe him! As long as the Captain's with us, we can do the impossible!"
"Captain do you believe in the demon of Razgriz?"
"I missed! Damn, I suck!"

Other/Dialogue

Albert Genette: "Who do you think's covering up the battle?"
Heartbreak One: "Listen, the only thing across that ocean is Murska Air Base. That's Yuktobanian territory."
Albert Genette: "But, haven't we been allies with the Yukes since the war fifteen years ago?"
Albert Genette: "What happened?"
Captain Hamilton: "Yuktobania just declared war."
Hearbreak One: "Nagase, you keep flying like that and you'll die real soon."
Nagase: "I won't die sir."
Osean Company D: "Uhh, this is company D. I have a favour to ask. Could you bomb our monster of a captain from the air for us?"
Osean Company D Commander: "They'll never call us losers again!!"
AWACS Thunderhead: "Warning! Warning! Wardog squadron return to base immediately!"
AWACS Thunderhead: "Captain Davenport how many times do I have to tell you to cut the chatter?!"
Chopper: "Thunderhead, this is Razgriz 3, roger that."
AWACS Thunderhead: "What did you just say?"
Osean 3rd Fleet: "Enemy anti-ship missiles lanuched! Begin phalanx fire! (gunfire) "No! Stop! You're firing on the docks!"
Rookie Osean Pilot: "The eject handle's stuck!"
Captain Anderson: "A group of comrades has come to our aid. Protect these brave souls!...Commence battle! We are not alone!"

For after all what is man in nature? A central point in between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. Blaise Pascal
Then nothingness was not, nor existance. There was no air then, nor heavens beyond it. Who covered it? Where was it? In whose keeping? Was there then cosmic water, in depths unfathomed? Creation Hymn from the Rig Veda.
All held the finite and infinite as unrelated. None could forsee that the history of the two would become one. Unknown author.
Without beginning or end, the ring stretches to infinite. (Final mission) Unknown author.

Larry "Pixy" Foulke

Galm 2 : "A Brother in Arms"

"Oh, him? Yeah, I know him. It's going to take a while. It happened years ago. Did you know...there are three kind of aces? Those who seek strength, those who live for pride, and those who can read the tide of battle. Those are the three. And him...he was a true ace."
"It was a cold and snowy day..."
(parts of dialogue change depending on ace style gauge) "Every time I flew with him, his skill stood out. He was unstoppable. He was cool-headed and proud. A combat professional. Demon Lord fit him perfectly. Maybe the man was blessed by the goddess of war. Before long, everyone had taken notice of him. More and more would show up to watch him go off on sortie. Mercenaries or maintenence crew, it didn't matter. People wanted to burn his image into their memories. Hell, they weren't the only ones."(dialogue appears if the player is a knight type ace)
"Every time I flew with him, his skill stood out. He was unstoppable. He would ascertain the situation in an instant, and change the tide of battle. He was born for combat. It was no wonder they called him Demon Lord. That said, it was hell trying to keep up with him. Before long, everyone had taken notice of him. More and more would show up to watch him go off on sortie. Mercenaries or maintenence crew, it didn't matter. People wanted to burn his image into their memories. Hell, they weren't the only ones." (dialogue appears if the player is a soldier type ace)
"Every time I flew with him, his skill stood out. He was unstoppable. It didn't matter where the battlefield was, the man had complete trust in his own powers. A Demon Lord who struck down all opposition. He was born for battle. He paid no heed to the troubles of those who flew with him. Before long, everyone had taken notice of him. More and more would show up to watch him go off on sortie. Mercenaries or maintenence crew, it didn't matter. People wanted to burn his image into their memories. Hell, they weren't the only ones." (dialogue appears if the player is a mercenary type ace)
"I should have died that day. But I didn't. I dragged my wounded body and reached ground zero of the nuclear detonations. A barren, empty land. I felt an unbearable sadness when I witnessed that landscape. There were still people living there. They were the ones that saved me. It may be true that the world has no need of borders. But would getting rid of them really change anything? The world won't change for the better unless we trust people. Trust is vital in a peaceful world. But that will never happen. I'm still on the battlefield. Right now I'm near a border. I want to see for myself what borders really mean and what their volition really is. I may not find what I'm looking for, but I still want to try. Anyway, that's what I've come to believe, and I think that's enough. Will he see this video? If you do meet him, give him a message for me. 'Yo buddy. Still alive? And thanks, friend. See you again."
"Yo buddy...you still alive?"
"Buddy...I've finally found a reason to fight."
"This twisted game needs to be reset... We'll start over from zero with this V2, and trust the future and the next generation."
"Those who live for a long time on the battlefield start to think they're invincible...I bet you do too, buddy."
"Fire away, coward!"..."Come on!!"
"And this is where we go our seperate ways."
"Here comes the snow..."
"Enemy confirmed down. That's a kill for Galm 1."
"So...finally found a reason to fight yet?...Buddy?"
"This war would end if they blew everything up."
"This is The Round Table. Dead men's words hold no meaning."
"We WILL survive, Galm 1!"

Patrick James "PJ" Beckett

"What? This is no time to talk about my personal life!"
"And I like to play polo. You know, the sport with the horses?"
"This is Crow team's number 3. Name's PJ. I'll support you any way I can, Galm team."
"By the way, PJ stands for Patrick James."
"Yahoo! We stopped the V-2 launch! We're gonna be rich!"
"Yahoo! We stopped the V-2 launch! The war's finally over!"
"Yahoo! We stopped the V-2 launch! We're gonna be branded as heroes!"

Detlef "Red Swallow" Fleisher

Rot 1 : A Pilot who Lives by Pride

"Rot 1 to all craft. Time to hunt some wild dogs. Down 'em all!"
"A nation is comprised of individuals who live in its borders. It can only become a nation when it is supported by those individuals. But mercenaries who cross the lines and allegiance for money have no country to protect...They only fight for their own power and fame. But if that was the case then how did I lose to him? Maybe not having the burden of a nation allows you to fly faster."
"Back then, I was bursting with pride. I wanted to lead us to victory, for Belka's honor. Staying where it was nice and warm wouldn't accomplish anything. My flight's mission was to maintain air superiority in Area B7R, an essential area we couldn't allow to be violated. That day, when I heard the order from HQ for reinforcements, I became angry. The stationed force was in chaos just because of two mercenaries. There was no way the mighty Belkan Air Force could lose to mere mercenaries. My pride was shot and the Round Table was defiled. What went wrong? Whatever it may be, the fact remains that I was forced to talk a different path from the one I envisioned."

Bernard "Owl" Schmidt

Grun 1: The Strategist

"Ustio planes. Mercenaries. I think I'm going to enjoy this."
"War is fought on the desk of politicians. As long as they win in the end, that's all that matters. But for us, it's a matter of survival. To survive means to analyze the situation in an instant. It's the same as living in a city. The rules of this little city apply just as well to that wide open sky. That guy had the same feel about him as this city."
"All Grun units, set eject handles to green."
"Report."
"This is Grun 2. There's two of 'em."
"Well then. Let's have some fun."
"I had a bad feeling when I was flying towards the Round Table. Why would they have such problems downing two mercenaries? I figured it was temporary chaos and it'd be over by the time I got there. The pilots of the Belkan Air Force are true professionals, but when I saw the situation I couldn't believe my eyes. I thought maybe my IFF was malfunctioning. There were still two enemies on the radar. Everyone else in my squadron had the same reaction. "This is really happening..." Every now and then someone like that appears on a battlefield. Someone special, y'know? I squinted my eyes and confirmed the situation, checked the terrain, air currents, his plane, his maneuvers, and his remaining ammo. I figured I could do it. I knew what I was getting into, but he still outmaneuvered me beyond my expectation."

Dimitri "Indigo Heron" Heinreich

Indigo 1: A Man who Upholds Honour

"Indigo 1 to all craft. Target spotted. Commencing attack."
"I fly under the code of knighthood. It's only natural since we are the descendants of the Belkan knights. We protect the meek and give our lives for honour, but that does not mean we are generous...since generosity would cost us our lives. If the pilot survived at the end of the war, he must've carried out these rules."
"That day, right before I was deployed, my airspace assignment was changed. Initially, my squadron was assigned to the stable eastern front. That was changed to Area B7R. "The Round Table" where casualties were recorded at a fearsome pace. It was also the place where I met him. It was just two planes - him and an Eagle. And yet our lead force didn't stand a chance against them. I knew that he was good and that it was going to be bad for us, but there was something else I noticed. He hesitated. A vulnerability that can be exploited. I was certain I would win. The pilot was still young, and he had yet to master the rules of combat. But in the end, I was shot down."

Rainer "Comorant" Altman

Gelb 2 : The Fallen

(sections of dialogue change based on your ace gauge) "I met him above this very sky. I can still hear the sound of the missile alerts from that day. I received an order to fly back to Directus on my way back from intercept mission on the southern defence line. The order itself wasn't unusual. We kept being deployed fom one mission to the next without even receiving even the basic maintenence. But the situation was the same all around. We were late reaching the operational space. The stationed squadrons had already retreated and warning bells were going off in the city...and the people were looking up to his plane high above the sky. I couldn't see any emotion in his maneuvers. I didn't feel like I was fighting against a human being. I wanted to end that battle as quickly as possible." (occurs if the player is a knight type ace)
(section of dialogue occurs if the player is a soldier type ace) "...and the people were looking up to his plane high above the sky. It felt like he could see through me. He was always one step ahead of me. He matched every combat maneuver I knew until I used up evey trick in the book."
(section of dialogue occurs if the player is a mercenary type ace) "...and the people were looking up to his plane high above the sky. He pursued me relentlessly. As soon I thought I'd shook him off, there he was again. The never ending sound of the missile alerts put fear in my heart for the first time."
"I bailed out and landed here. The Captain was gone. I've lived a comfortable life since then, and I probably have him to thank for that. They ring the bells here at dusk to honour the liberation of the capital. It signals peace, but to me, they are the sounds of death."
"There's two of them and two of us. That works in our favour."

Dominic "Vulture" Zubov

Schwarze 1 : The Bringer of Death

"You're falling behind, mercenary."
"Feeling a bit scared? Afraid? That's just death lurking around."
"There they are. The mercenary dream team."
"Schwarze leader to all units. The escaping craft is heading this way. It's Hukebein. Don't let your guard down."
"Sorry about the accomodations. It goes with the business. I'm not active during the day. Back then, I was a shadow assassin. An "escapee killer". Given the order, I'd even shoot down my own comrades. I received an order to take down deserting craft on that day. It was a typical assignment. But...something unexpected happened. My target was no new recruit, but a top ace of the Belkan Air Force. And he just had to go and run straight into the chaos at the Round Table. The man was sharp just like the rumours. But that wasn't the problem. The problem was that the mercenary team of Solo Wing and him were there. Thanks to them, I lost my target. I figured the best I could do was to take them down in return. Of course, that was where my luck ran out."
"Is the man still alive? Though it's hard for bad guys like us to die. The real heroes always manage to die first. But guys like him, Solo Wing and me...we live the rest of our lives in hell. But hey, being alive was proof that we were good."

Erich "Phonix" Hillenberand

Schnee 1 : A Man who Lived for Battle

"The instant he shot me, I pulled the lever. I barely managed to escape from my plane as it burst into flames. After drifting from the blast, I landed below the Round table. It was a wide open, barren wasteland. How long would I have to wait for a rescue party? Radio interference within the Round Table was fierce. The odds of a distress signal of reaching anyone was low. I was at a loss of what to do. Anyway, I'd really gone out with a bang this time. I took that as a sign that it was time for me to reture. But then, I heard a roaring overhead. It was his plane. I was jealous of his calm, flying form. Rather than wait for the rescue team I began to walk towards the nearest base. I was driven by the desire to get back up there and fight him again. Of course, it did take me 3 days to get there."
"When a fighter plane goes down, that's the end. It disintegrates into pieces, incinerated beyond recognition. It's a scary thought. But it also makes you feel alive. I left the military, but I still fly that sky. But...it's pretty lonely all by myself. I'd love to fly with him again someday."
"Ustio mercenaries! This is going to be fun!"
"Target is in firing range. Schnee 1 to all units. Release your missiles."

Dietrich "Boss" Kellerman

Silber 1 : The Reborn Veteran

"If you get confused, just let your hands take over. You have enough training to do this in your sleep."
"Hatred cannot be the only motivation for war. It only brings about more pointless deaths. I lost a lot of my students. They were my children, my flesh and blood. I will never overcome that grief. I'll probably never teach anyone again. Nor will I ever go up in the sky again. I've entrusted everything I know to a new generation. I'll just look on from here."
"They're fast. Follow them. This will be your final lesson."
"He was good. From what I'd heard about him, I thought he was just a yong mercenary. But he'd matured since then. He still wasn't perfect, but I could see he had come a long way towards understanding the rules of combat. What's important on the battlefield is to let go of your hate, to survive, and adhere to the rules you've set for yourself. These are the rules I've taught my students. And when I saw him, I could tell my time was done. A new generation had inherited the sky. There was no need for an old soldier like me."

Anton "Dr." Kupchenko

Gault 1 : The Guardian

"A world with no boundaries will eliminate all borders."
"Nations, peoples, all will be liberated."
"Gault 1 to all units. Begin the operation. Let the victor be justice."
(Epigraph) "The gate to the new world has been opened. My soul shall be the wind that enters the gate. When the sleeping king awakes, My body, too, shall surely rise."

Marcela "Macarena" Vasquez

Espada 2 : A Woman of Undying Faith

(sections of dialogue change based on Ace Style gauge)"If the Demon Lord hadn't appeared, our lives might have been different. For me, it wasn't about flying or ideals. Most of all, it was about him; My flight lead. Our mission was to escort the heavy command cruiser that was to act as transportation for the organization. And the Demon Lord appeared, as if to block our paths. I will never forget his overwhelming power. One-by-one, my comrades were shot down, and then the mother bird we were supposed to protect. We survived after the fight. We left our organization and returned to the ground together. But, those whose hearts are in the sky will always return to the sky. He was one of them, and so he left, even though his wounds had yet to heal. And he died there, never to return to me. But I don't blame anyone. The regret and suffering that remained after that battle were also what he had given me. They're among the precious few things he left behind." (dialogue appears if the player is a knight type ace)
"...and then the mother bird we were supposed to protect. We survived after the fight. We left our organization and returned to the ground together. But, he was heavily wounded. He soon passed away, leaving me behind. We were only able to spend a short time together in peace and quiet. But I don't blame anyone..." (dialogue appears if the player is a soldier type ace)
"...and then the mother bird we were supposed to protect. I returned alive from that battlefield. And I returned to this city, where I grew up. I left the organization too. I never went back to the sky again. There's no meaning there now that he's gone. He died in that fight. But I don't blame anyone..." (dialogue appears if the player is a mercenary type ace)

Anthony "Bedivere" Palmer

Sorcerer 1 : The Witness

"The king who sleeps at Avalon will become the new hero."
"Attention all units, that's the Galm team. Watch and learn."
"Target confirmed. Sorcerer 1 to all planes. Apply full thrust. Don't even think about heading back."
"The battle to re-draw the world's boundaries has moved to the meeting boardroom."
"'Demon Lord' was right. Everything he touched fell apart. I thought I was watching magic. When I was in the military, they called me an ace too. I got many medals for my actions on numerous battlefields. I never felt fear toward an opponent. The same went for my ideals. I wasn't afraid to take on even an entire country. But when I was fighting him, something felt different. At first I didn't know what it was. It wasn't until I realized my hands were shaking on the flight stick that I realized...it was fear. It's embarassing, but once I felt that, I couldn't fly anymore. I felt guilt towards my companions at the time. There's always a war somewhere, and I'm sure he's on some battlefield somewhere fighting even now. He'll always have a place to live."

Joshua "Lucan" Bristow

Wizard 1 : The Revolutionary

"This darkness and that litte window are my world now. I'm actually rather fond of it. The darkness envelops me in a borderless world, a world with no boundaries. He was not that we were unable to change the world. No matter what the desired outcome is, the world can still change, as long as people expand their knowledge and desire change. Today's world has already changed from what it was back then."
"This is Wizard 1. The Demon Lord has entered the net."..."Let's begin."

Other/Dialogue

Pixy: It's starting to come down.

Pixy: This is Galm 2. Roger that.
Base Command: Bering 315, Belkan bombers approaching.

Base Command: That's assuming we're both going to make it through this alive.
Pixy: Be ready to pay up. We'll be back before you know it.
Belkan Squadron: (in reaction to seeing the Schwarze squadron arrive) "This is the worst kind of support we could hope for!"
Belkan Squadron: "Low-life mercenaries! Only you would attack a plane that's out of comission!"

AWACS Eagle Eye: "Galm team, we cannot authorize a retreat. Intercept them!"

PJ: Roger that. Leave it to me.

PJ: "And I'm here to put an end to that.
Pixy: "You think you can stop bloodshed by shedding more blood? Flying around with all those ideas swimming around your head will get you killed."
AWACS Eagle Eye: (after destroying the Excalibur) Hey, PJ. Don't get too excited and crash, buddy!"
Wizard 1: Larry, do you read me? Your fairy godmother's here, Cinderella.
