[00:04] ---
    What's the matter, Stiyl?
[00:07] ---
    I'm giving you a chance, so do something.
    Because if you can't, I will.
[00:12] ---
    You don't have to tell me.
[00:14] ---
    You don't have to tell me...
[00:17] ---
    ...because this is the job
    I've been doing a long time.
[00:19] ---
    Hostile identified. Now conducting analysis
[00:24] ---
    of available spells and
    construction of suitable local weapons.
[00:34] ---
    He went out of his way to get this ready.
[00:37] ---
    For Fiamma to accomplish
    what he's set out to do,
[00:39] ---
    he must need this "Star of B'Tselem" here.
[00:47] ---
    Which means that by destroying it,
    I can do damage to Fiamma, as well.
[00:57] ---
    Sasha Kruezhev, the angel medium;
[01:00] ---
    the magical item to remotely
    control the 103,000 grimoires;
[01:04] ---
    the Star of B'Tselem, the ceremonial site;
[01:07] ---
    and your right arm, fit to wield my power...
[01:12] ---
    I have acquired everything that I need.
[01:15] ---
    It is high time to ask the
    supporting players to leave the stage.
[01:19] ---
    Sally forth, Archangel Gabriel.
[01:22] ---
    Blow everything away.
[01:29] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[02:09] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index III"
[03:20] ---
    "#22 Angel Power (Gabriel)"
[03:23] ---
    The reason he abducted Sasha was
    to enlist the power of an archangel.
[03:28] ---
    Then I'll just have to thoroughly smash up
    that angel until she's immobilized!
[03:40] ---
    Sasha Kruezhev?
[03:44] ---
    The Star of B'Tselem is not yet complete,
[03:47] ---
    but the moment I set
    Sasha Kruezhev in motion,
[03:50] ---
    my victory became incontrovertible.
[03:53] ---
    All I'm missing is that parchment.
[03:56] ---
    So then, why don't you go retrieve it?
[04:00] ---
    There's no reason to show mercy
    to them just because they're weak.
[04:04] ---
    Go take it back with everything you have,
    and don't hold back.
[04:11] ---
    The treatment is complete.
[04:13] ---
    The toxins that were
    within her have now been removed.
[04:17] ---
    Huh?
[04:18] ---
    Scientific efficiency is repugnant,
    and it always will be.
[04:24] ---
    Hey, have you checked outside?
[04:26] ---
    What the hell is going on out there, damn it?
[04:29] ---
    It's Fiamma.
[04:30] ---
    I wasn't expecting him
    to shake up the four elements.
[04:39] ---
    Takitsubo!
[04:42] ---
    You're lighter...
[04:43] ---
    Hamazura, you're awful.
[04:50] ---
    Hamazura...?
[04:52] ---
    I'll fill you in on everything later,
    so right now, let me just say this--
[04:59] ---
    It's all right now.
[05:09] ---
    What do we do now?
[05:11] ---
    Our goal is to negotiate with Academy City.
[05:15] ---
    We're going back into Russia
    to search for what we need. But...
[05:21] ---
    ...you're just getting over being sick.
    You can wait here if you want.
[05:25] ---
    Hamazura,
[05:26] ---
    which will it take to
    wake you up, a kiss or a slap?
[05:30] ---
    When you put it like that,
[05:32] ---
    it actually makes me want
    to leave you behind more.
[05:38] ---
    What's that?
[05:40] ---
    This is bad, Hamazura.
[05:42] ---
    The Russian army might be planning to use
[05:44] ---
    a bacteriological weapon near that village.
[05:46] ---
    They're what?!
[05:48] ---
    There's a secret nuclear
    missile launch silo near there
[05:51] ---
    that was abandoned during cold war.
[05:53] ---
    There's a manual to keep it from falling
    into enemy hands--the Kremlin Report.
[05:58] ---
    The Kremlin Report?
[06:00] ---
    The Elizalina Alliance of
    Independent Nations will be suspected
[06:05] ---
    of assisting the villagers and trying
    to acquire the nuclear facility's knowhow.
[06:09] ---
    So the orders are to stay away.
[06:12] ---
    They can't be serious.
[06:15] ---
    I hate to do this, Takitsubo,
[06:17] ---
    but I can't leave Digurv
    and the others in the lurch.
[06:21] ---
    I don't want to abandon them.
[06:23] ---
    I get it. I'm coming, too.
[06:25] ---
    Takitsubo...
[06:26] ---
    I remember everything
    those people did for me.
[06:30] ---
    I want to fight for them, myself.
[06:35] ---
    You won't have any second thoughts?
[06:36] ---
    Will you?
[06:39] ---
    How can this be? Is that... an angel?!
[06:43] ---
    That's the core of the mystery
[06:45] ---
    that me and the kid were
    forced into being involved with.
[06:48] ---
    If there is a way to control it,
[06:51] ---
    it will be the breakthrough
    to saving the kid.
[06:54] ---
    Get out of here. They'll be coming.
[06:56] ---
    Huh? "They"?
[06:58] ---
    What reason do they have to come after me?
[07:01] ---
    The castle isn't quite complete.
[07:03] ---
    The parchment that you have is proof of that.
[07:07] ---
    If you're holding a critical document
[07:10] ---
    that Fiamma used even the army
    to try to get his hands on...
[07:13] ---
    Oh, I get it. Since it's still here,
[07:16] ---
    that proves he hasn't gotten
    all of the pieces together yet.
[07:21] ---
    It's probably something to bridge
    the gap of whatever information is missing.
[07:27] ---
    By pairing it with Index's 103,000 grimoires,
[07:30] ---
    he will achieve his maximum effect.
[07:33] ---
    Index?
[07:34] ---
    There's yet another connection...
    to some unknown set of laws,
[07:38] ---
    that not even I or the dark organizations
    of the world know the full scope of.
[07:42] ---
    Just how many steps ahead
    of me is that Level 0 bastard?
[07:49] ---
    That's why you're in danger here.
[07:51] ---
    Even if you were to turn over
    the parchment right now,
[07:53] ---
    you could be captured
    to find out where they have gone.
[07:56] ---
    Like I'd turn them over.
[07:58] ---
    They could be the final key
    to liberating the kid.
[08:04] ---
    Okay, Misaka will go retrieve Last Order.
[08:07] ---
    But she could use a weapon.
[08:09] ---
    Huh?
[08:10] ---
    You were generous enough to help Misaka.
[08:14] ---
    You're obviously thinking of giving
    the Russian army a wide berth now.
[08:19] ---
    Wh-What does she mean by that?
    That is far too foolhardy!
[08:24] ---
    No extra charge, damn it.
[08:29] ---
    Sasha Kruezhev?
[08:32] ---
    Question one, if I may:
    Why do you know my name?
[08:38] ---
    Hmm... Where should I even start?
[08:45] ---
    My first answer:
[08:47] ---
    I have determined that I did not
    receive a favorable response from you.
[08:51] ---
    By way of further explanation,
    I suspect that you are here to capture me,
[08:55] ---
    seeing as how I fled from
    the ceremonial site.
[08:57] ---
    I'm not! I'm really not!
[08:59] ---
    Who is that angel? I thought
    she was you, but you're right here.
[09:05] ---
    Has Fiamma used you
    to summon another angel?
[09:09] ---
    Tell me. I want to stop him.
[09:12] ---
    My second answer:
[09:14] ---
    By the time I had awakened,
    the ceremony was already over.
[09:19] ---
    The ceremonial site was built
    with an odd focus on the element of fire.
[09:25] ---
    This angel isn't dwelling within Sasha's body,
    like what happened at Angel Fall,
[09:30] ---
    but is completely exposed.
[09:32] ---
    However, if he used Sasha to summon Misha,
[09:36] ---
    the two of them may be connected.
[09:41] ---
    Which means...
[09:43] ---
    By way of further explanation,
[09:44] ---
    the angel represented by fire is Michael,
[09:48] ---
    but the angel waiting on
    the battlefield now is Gabriel.
[09:51] ---
    Which is to say, the one representing water--
[09:54] ---
    Nope. Not here, either.
[09:58] ---
    Damn it.
[10:00] ---
    There's no change in Misha.
[10:02] ---
    I guess this way isn't going to work.
[10:08] ---
    Question two, if I may:
[10:10] ---
    Do you possess the same soul as Vasilissa?
[10:13] ---
    V-Vasilissa?
[10:16] ---
    My third answer: I do not
    believe that ceremony alone
[10:19] ---
    could control a being
    as powerful as an angel.
[10:23] ---
    However, to explain further, there was
    one magical item I'd never seen before.
[10:29] ---
    Magical item?
[10:30] ---
    Specifically a staff.
    One with a cylindrical magical item,
[10:34] ---
    small enough to hold in
    your hand, at the top.
[10:38] ---
    The magical item he had earlier,
    that was remotely controlling Index?
[10:43] ---
    Don't tell me he's utilizing
    that to control Misha Kruezhev.
[10:56] ---
    Gabriel...
[10:58] ---
    The archangel who heralded
    the Annunciation of the Son of God,
[11:01] ---
    and who also exacted divine punishment
    upon the city of wickedness.
[11:06] ---
    Indeed. It makes sense that
    Fiamma's head would get so swollen.
[11:11] ---
    But has he forgotten what
    I preside over in the Right Seat of God?
[11:25] ---
    Oh, what divine power!
[11:32] ---
    The victory of the
    Roman Orthodox Church is now assured.
[11:36] ---
    The papal conclave will be convened,
    and I will become the next pope!
[11:41] ---
    Cardinal Pietro Yogdis!
    The public is advancing on us!
[11:46] ---
    We will postpone the
    papal conclave temporarily.
[11:49] ---
    The conclave will proceed as scheduled!
[11:52] ---
    But Your Eminence...!
[11:53] ---
    Mobilize some Roman Orthodox
    units to put them down!
[11:57] ---
    Impossible! We cannot turn
    our arms against those people!
[12:03] ---
    It's the Roman pope.
[12:05] ---
    Our own Roman pope has
    calmed down the rampaging citizenry!
[12:11] ---
    They are now on their way into the Vatican.
[12:14] ---
    We have no way of stopping their march.
[12:25] ---
    We can't... Not this man...
    Not the course this man is leading...
[12:31] ---
    There's no way we can let it be stopped.
[12:41] ---
    No... No... No...!
[12:45] ---
    I-I'm going to be the next pope...
[12:48] ---
    Kill him!
[12:49] ---
    Kill him!!
[12:51] ---
    Do not worry.
[12:53] ---
    I am no longer the Roman pope.
[12:57] ---
    I am here as Matthai Reese,
    ordinary believer, to put an end to this war.
[13:04] ---
    What...?
[13:05] ---
    Beneath the Basilica of San Pietro,
    there is a vast library
[13:09] ---
    that the English Index Librorum
    Prohibitorum was once directed to.
[13:15] ---
    You're going to give me access to it.
[13:19] ---
    The means to counter
    Fiamma may be resting there.
[13:25] ---
    You've done well to keep
    the flock of two billion together
[13:29] ---
    during these trying times.
[13:32] ---
    I will vote for you in the papal conclave.
[13:37] ---
    Let me support you,
    however meagerly, in your path forward.
[13:44] ---
    Remember, this is a fight
    to ensure your survival.
[13:49] ---
    So no matter what, don't get yourself killed.
[14:08] ---
    anhwrnextnxdp
[14:27] ---
    My, my, even one of God's dogsbodies
    is no better than a monster like this.
[14:35] ---
    You're supposed to be
    one of your nation's princesses.
[14:37] ---
    How about being a little more circumspect?
[14:41] ---
    That being said, I'm here,
    so I don't have much room to talk.
[14:46] ---
    This is a grave situation.
    The enemy has armed itself with an individual
[14:51] ---
    boasting a level of refinement
    comparable to Curtana, if not more so.
[14:57] ---
    Can't you use your weapon-nullifying spell?
[15:00] ---
    I'm afraid this is out of my league.
[15:03] ---
    Tch.
[15:04] ---
    What is Necessarius waiting for?
    Can't their saint engage her?
[15:10] ---
    She appears to be treating
    the injured as her first priority.
[15:13] ---
    For her, combat is nothing more than
    a way for her to come to people's aid.
[15:19] ---
    Isn't that, in fact,
    the normal response for a puritan?
[15:23] ---
    You don't have to remind me.
[15:27] ---
    Ready to go in, Frenchy?
[15:30] ---
    After funneling all of the nation
    of France's power into Durandal,
[15:34] ---
    I am more than ready to put it to use.
[15:45] ---
    Bring it on, monster.
[15:48] ---
    I'll show you that I have the
    same level of power as an archangel
[15:52] ---
    concentrated right here in my hand.
[15:55] ---
    The manifestation of
    Misha Kruezhev has been confirmed.
[15:59] ---
    Now you're going to help us
    crush Academy City's forces.
[16:05] ---
    First we'll destroy the
    unmanned units' command center...
[16:10] ---
    You have the archangel
    of water at your disposal,
[16:14] ---
    and that's all you can come up with?
[16:17] ---
    What are you talking about?
[16:18] ---
    It makes sense now why
    you got no further than bishop.
[16:22] ---
    Did you think that I would use my own
    resources for the sake of you Russians?
[16:29] ---
    Why, you...
[16:31] ---
    Fiamma, you are fundamentally
    mistaken about something.
[16:36] ---
    The Right Seat of God cannot use
    spells that regular sorcerers can.
[16:42] ---
    Isn't that why you used
    200 sorcerers for that floating fortress?
[16:47] ---
    However, they are all my pawns.
[16:51] ---
    With one word from me,
    your fortress will disintegrate.
[16:54] ---
    Now what will you do, Fiamma?
[16:59] ---
    If that's the best you could do
    after giving it serious thought,
[17:02] ---
    it's a wonder you even made bishop.
[17:06] ---
    Why do you think I acquired
    the remote control magical item
[17:09] ---
    for the 103,000 grimoires?
[17:12] ---
    You mean... you can use them?
[17:15] ---
    You can use powers other
    than those of the Right Seat of God?
[17:19] ---
    They do have to be separated for me
    to become the Person Superior to God.
[17:24] ---
    And so, while I hate to do this,
    your usefulness to me is at an end.
[17:28] ---
    I will now be disposing
    of your 200 sorcerers.
[17:32] ---
    Don't bother concerning yourself.
    Feel free to go down to glorious defeat.
[17:40] ---
    Damn it!
[18:02] ---
    nriosgnprecedenceiorseog
[18:08] ---
    nriosgnprecedenceiorseog
[18:20] ---
    What was that? I couldn't even make it out.
[18:23] ---
    Gabriel is a message bearer.
    She's diverting our instincts and foresight.
[18:29] ---
    Rely purely on your five senses.
[18:31] ---
    Using your sixth sense
    will throw your timing off.
[18:34] ---
    hbwioraeffecnbsitbgtiveoargwerge
[18:37] ---
    This can't be good.
    It sounds like she's gotten a taste for it.
[18:40] ---
    You're the one who
    encouraged her, you barbarian.
[18:56] ---
    What's the matter, barbarian?
    Isn't your Curtana supposed to be chock full
[19:00] ---
    of the same amount of
    archangel power as the enemy?
[19:03] ---
    Tch, in terms of simple volume,
    we seem to barely have the upper hand,
[19:08] ---
    but it's not power, it's technique
    where she's getting the better of us.
[19:16] ---
    No, you dumbass!
[19:20] ---
    So that's it. This is a military campaign
    employing archangelic force.
[19:27] ---
    The true reason for the revolution
    I pressed the people into
[19:30] ---
    was something as ridiculous as this.
[19:49] ---
    Sure, it stands to reason that if
    my Curtana Second fragment is destroyed,
[19:53] ---
    my power would be diminished. However...
[19:59] ---
    ...I never said there was only one fragment!
[20:09] ---
    I'm a princess who put
    her whole country on the line.
[20:13] ---
    Did you really think
    I was going to peg out so easily?
[20:16] ---
    hdtrndambagegurconfirmedhtb
[20:20] ---
    How long do you think
    this will take before it's over?
[20:25] ---
    That depends on how far they have
    to run before they're considered safe.
[20:29] ---
    If the other side of the world
    isn't far enough, then that's that.
[20:33] ---
    You're pretty confident.
[20:35] ---
    Is that how I appear?
[20:37] ---
    bauopressgrlnatjjtacktrrhgssmashyr
[20:43] ---
    Well now,
[20:44] ---
    I think it's about time for the backup plan.
[20:47] ---
    Could you not pull it out of there?
[20:50] ---
    Speaking as a fellow woman,
    it raises eyebrows.
[20:53] ---
    Hmm? Attention all military
    forces on standby!
[20:57] ---
    Launch surface-to-air missiles immediately!
[21:11] ---
    I doubt they'll be brought down by just that.
[21:14] ---
    I'm buying time.
[21:16] ---
    Get the wounded as far away
    as you can, while we can.
[21:25] ---
    Sure, it's a handy way to get around,
[21:28] ---
    but why is there a monorail here, exactly?
[21:31] ---
    My fourth answer:
[21:33] ---
    I do not know why you are asking me.
[21:36] ---
    The Star of B'Tselem
[21:39] ---
    is the star that signaled
    the arrival of the Son of God.
[21:42] ---
    Could this Fiamma person be trying
    to recreate it with only artificial means?
[21:47] ---
    Hmm...
[21:51] ---
    What was that?!
[21:58] ---
    Misha Kruezhev!
[22:05] ---
    Not good!
[22:10] ---
    Q-Question three, if I may:
    What exactly is going on?
[22:17] ---
    Kazakiri... Hyoka?!
[22:21] ---
    There's no way I'm not getting
    involved after coming this far.
[22:25] ---
    I have to come up with
    a way to somehow get closer.
[22:30] ---
    "Big Sister,
[22:31] ---
    what is that frog strap there?"
[22:35] ---
    asks Misaka, filled with curiosity.
[22:39] ---
    Huh? Oh...
[22:41] ---
    His name is Gekota.
    I got him during a cell phone promotion
[22:45] ---
    that I dragged that idiot to.
[22:49] ---
    "Intercepting a Russian transmission,"
    reports Misaka.
[22:54] ---
    "It indicates that a large-scale attack
    is being carried out against that fortress,"
[22:59] ---
    Misaka further explains.
[23:02] ---
    That won't be good.
[23:03] ---
    "NU-AD1967."
[23:06] ---
    What's that?
[23:08] ---
    "The name of the weapon
    being used to attack the fortress,"
[23:11] ---
    explains Misaka.
[23:13] ---
    Yes, but what is it?
[23:16] ---
    "A former Soviet tactical nuclear warhead,"
[23:19] ---
    reports Misaka.
[23:24] ---
    "Preview"
[23:25] ---
    Kazakiri and Accelerator
    face off against the archangel.
[23:28] ---
    But not even they can stop her.
[23:30] ---
    At that moment, he steps forward,
    ready to do or die.
[23:34] ---
    Next time, "Fuse=KAZAKIRI."
[23:36] ---
    When science and magic cross paths,
