**[00:19] ---**
Bloody Rain!
**[00:27] ---**
Now, go on ahead!
**[00:29] ---**
Right! Thanks!
**[00:31] ---**
Those who were swallowed up
**[00:33] ---**
should be locked up at the very bottom of Eden.
**[00:36] ---**
Got it!
**[00:45] ---**
Ahh! There's more!
**[00:47] ---**
Tearju! Can't you do
something about these monsters?!
**[00:50] ---**
They are probably the life energy
of the people swallowed,
**[00:54] ---**
transformed by nanomachines.
**[00:57] ---**
They will appear anywhere
within Eden's power!
**[01:00] ---**
I don't need lectures! Just do something!
**[01:02] ---**
If you head towards the rear and
go to the control room from its back,
**[01:05] ---**
there are fewer defenses!
**[01:07] ---**
Gotcha!
**[01:25] ---**
*That's how it always starts...*
**[01:27] ---**
*under the azure sky*
**[01:30] ---**
*After making a vow,*
**[01:34] ---**
*I now set off*
**[01:50] ---**
*Yeah, the desert glitters with a golden hue*
**[01:55] ---**
*(The wind is scorching)*
**[01:57] ---**
*I'm searching for a diamond flower*
**[02:01] ---**
*(I keep on wandering)*
**[02:03] ---**
*Now, for the first time in my life,*
**[02:10] ---**
*I live for someone else*
**[02:16] ---**
*There's something I wanna protect*
**[02:22] ---**
*I'll never, ever lose it again*
**[02:29] ---**
*Resound, my heartbeat!*
**[02:35] ---**
*A heartbeat smaller and fragile,
but tougher than anyone's.*
**[03:08] ---**
Live the way you want.
**[03:13] ---**
Freedom, huh?
**[03:16] ---**
Hey, didja say something?!
**[03:23] ---**
"The Carefree Cat"
**[03:35] ---**
Bro, I believe in you!
**[03:45] ---**
Sorry, but you can't go any further!
**[03:49] ---**
Take this! Penetrating Curse!
**[03:51] ---**
Leave him to me!
**[03:54] ---**
Thanks! I'm going ahead!
**[04:05] ---**
No one can stop Eden's progress!
**[04:14] ---**
Wh-What the...?!
**[04:16] ---**
Now let us go, Eve.
**[04:19] ---**
Not to that fake castle...
**[04:25] ---**
But to an even more fun castle...
**[04:30] ---**
Even more fun?
**[04:32] ---**
There will be lots of friends there.
**[04:35] ---**
You want to go, don't you?
**[04:42] ---**
Eve!!
**[04:47] ---**
What's the matter?
**[04:50] ---**
Come, this way.
**[05:16] ---**
Train?! Sven?!
**[05:18] ---**
What's wrong?
**[05:19] ---**
I've lost communication with them...
**[05:21] ---**
Wh-What does that mean?!
**[05:25] ---**
Something's strange!
**[05:30] ---**
Wow!
**[05:31] ---**
Amazing!
**[05:33] ---**
It's so shiny!
**[05:45] ---**
Leon!
**[06:01] ---**
Welcome!
**[06:02] ---**
Welcome!
Welcome!
**[06:04] ---**
What would you like to order?
**[06:05] ---**
--What would you like to order?
**[06:05] ---**
--What would you like to order?
**[06:08] ---**
Layla looks so happy...
**[06:10] ---**
Yeah...
**[06:11] ---**
Running a bread shop was her dream.
**[06:15] ---**
I'm definitely gonna protect this shop!
**[06:18] ---**
Hah! I can handle that all alone!
**[06:21] ---**
What?! I'll protect the shop
and Layla by myself!
**[06:25] ---**
I will too!
**[06:26] ---**
I will, too!
**[06:28] ---**
I won't let you lay a finger on my friends!
**[06:32] ---**
Leon!
**[06:35] ---**
You certainly seem
to have gotten stronger.
**[06:38] ---**
Haven't you realized it yet?
**[06:40] ---**
The formidable power we possess...
**[06:43] ---**
Your time has ended.
**[06:46] ---**
You sure underestimate us.
**[06:48] ---**
We will definitely not lose!
**[06:51] ---**
There is only death for traitors.
**[06:55] ---**
Now feel the blade of justice!
**[07:06] ---**
It's gotten awfully quiet.
**[07:09] ---**
Now what will we do, Sephiria?
**[07:11] ---**
It is obvious.
**[07:14] ---**
Are you sure?
**[07:15] ---**
Isn't it the case that, at heart,
**[07:18] ---**
you wish to live freely like
Black Cat, too?
**[07:26] ---**
I shall walk the path I believe in!
**[07:37] ---**
Are you sure you wanna get off here?
**[07:40] ---**
There's quite a ways to town.
**[07:42] ---**
Sure, it's not too far that I can't walk.
**[07:45] ---**
Oh yeah... if you see
that guy... let me know.
**[07:49] ---**
Sure, I will.
**[07:54] ---**
I wonder where he went...
**[07:58] ---**
No one saw him after the battle with Eden.
**[08:03] ---**
Hah! Who cares where that guy went?!
**[08:12] ---**
Sonic Fist!
**[08:18] ---**
Until we destroy Eden, we'll never die!
**[08:27] ---**
What the?!
**[08:28] ---**
N-No way!
**[08:30] ---**
Damn!
**[08:31] ---**
Hey!
**[08:56] ---**
Damn it!
**[09:07] ---**
Eden is starting to move again!
**[09:09] ---**
Where is everyone?
**[09:10] ---**
I've...
**[09:12] ---**
lost communication
with all of them...
**[09:15] ---**
No!
**[09:32] ---**
Oh, it's going away!
**[09:34] ---**
Please come back!
**[09:46] ---**
Everyone, stop resisting
**[09:49] ---**
and give yourself to Eden's rain...
**[10:00] ---**
Oh, what's the matter?
Why are you crying?
**[10:04] ---**
That's not good.
You are not human.
**[10:08] ---**
You are merely a machine part of Eden!
**[10:17] ---**
Now then,
**[10:18] ---**
it is time to remove the barrier
**[10:22] ---**
that separates people's
physical and spiritual self,
**[10:25] ---**
and enjoy eternal sleep
as one living being.
**[10:31] ---**
A little more... just a little bit more...
**[10:34] ---**
My program has entered its final stage!
**[10:39] ---**
Connections reestablished!
**[10:43] ---**
Sorry...
**[10:45] ---**
Your program will never reach completion!
**[10:51] ---**
Well, well... I welcome you, Black Cat.
**[10:56] ---**
You were still alive.
Very stubborn, aren't you?
**[11:00] ---**
Oh well...
**[11:02] ---**
how about it? A game of nine-ball?
**[11:10] ---**
Oh dear...
**[11:13] ---**
Doctor Kanzaki,
release Eve immediately!
**[11:18] ---**
You know, you shouldn't hack into
other people's systems, Dr. Lunatique.
**[11:22] ---**
Oh? And that coming
from the man who stole my data
**[11:27] ---**
and sold his soul to the devil?!
**[11:30] ---**
Now that's a pretty harsh thing to say...
**[11:32] ---**
But that's all right. Eden has
arrived in Palmila City after all.
**[11:37] ---**
Even if a lone Black Cat infiltrated,
what can he do?
**[11:42] ---**
What if it's more than one?
**[11:48] ---**
You shouldn't take us lightly.
**[11:53] ---**
Why you...!
**[11:55] ---**
Well, sorry, but we're
here to take Eve back.
**[11:59] ---**
What can a bunch like you do?!
**[12:01] ---**
And what can you do, all by yourself?
**[12:04] ---**
And what if he's not alone?
**[12:09] ---**
Why you...!
**[12:13] ---**
I thought we gave them fatal wounds!
**[12:20] ---**
We cannot be killed inside Eden!
**[12:24] ---**
Nanomachines!
**[12:26] ---**
Tsk! I don't know what's going on,
but there are more of us than you guys!
**[12:31] ---**
There's plenty of us
to handle the lot of you!
**[12:34] ---**
Train! Sven! Hurry! Get Eve!
**[12:37] ---**
We're running out of time!
**[12:38] ---**
Eve is on the top floor of that tower!
**[12:40] ---**
It's over there!
**[12:42] ---**
Now this is interesting!
**[12:44] ---**
If you think you can
destroy my perfect program...
**[12:48] ---**
Just try it!
**[12:51] ---**
Awright, leave this...
**[12:52] ---**
to us!
**[12:54] ---**
You two...
**[12:55] ---**
Please go to Eve!
**[12:57] ---**
I'm coming with you, Kuro-*sama*!
**[12:59] ---**
You will stay here, too.
**[13:01] ---**
Boo!
**[13:01] ---**
We are already one with Eden!
**[13:04] ---**
As long as Eden exists, we will not die!
**[13:07] ---**
And no matter how many times you revive,
**[13:08] ---**
we shall just destroy you
over and over again!
**[13:10] ---**
Go! Go for it, Mister!
**[13:12] ---**
Beat them up!
**[13:13] ---**
Jenos! Don't you dare lose!
**[13:17] ---**
I'm counting on you to get Eve!
**[13:46] ---**
That power... is it Tao?
**[13:49] ---**
Precisely...
**[13:51] ---**
It is the ultimate technique
**[13:53] ---**
that I learned from a Taoist twenty years ago.
**[14:00] ---**
The Itairiku War...
**[14:02] ---**
It was so horrible, gruesome and tragic
**[14:05] ---**
that it seemed as if
it was out of this world.
**[14:09] ---**
And that is when I thought
**[14:11] ---**
to end this despicable history
of man's hatred and cruelty.
**[14:19] ---**
When the war ended
and I returned to Chronos,
**[14:22] ---**
I quietly enlisted comrades.
**[14:25] ---**
Taoist survivors and a scientist...
**[14:29] ---**
And...
**[14:34] ---**
erasers...
**[14:36] ---**
In other words...
the Apostles of the Stars...
**[14:42] ---**
Creed!
**[14:44] ---**
Humph! What are you doing here?
**[14:47] ---**
Train, I will destroy this man!
**[14:51] ---**
You can go to Eve.
**[14:54] ---**
You!
**[14:55] ---**
Hurry and go, Train!
**[14:57] ---**
How funny...
**[14:59] ---**
A failure... who has become
a mere mortal is going to beat me?!
**[15:04] ---**
You left him for dead...
and now call him a failure?
**[15:08] ---**
Is that what you call noble?!
**[15:11] ---**
Killing ten thousand people at Bioberg...
**[15:13] ---**
Destroying Torneo's research facility...
**[15:16] ---**
Those are all your doing?!
**[15:17] ---**
I could not afford to let
anyone find out about the Project.
**[15:22] ---**
And in order to teach Eve about human life,
**[15:26] ---**
you just let us take her away, huh?!
**[15:30] ---**
You were a fine father to Eve.
**[15:34] ---**
And now, you must let go...
as a good father-of-the-bride would.
**[15:38] ---**
Bride?
**[15:40] ---**
Eve was created for Adam from the start.
**[15:43] ---**
Although Adam is just a
program to make Eden work.
**[15:49] ---**
What?!
**[16:00] ---**
Eve!!
**[16:05] ---**
Train! Where are you?! Train!
**[16:09] ---**
This is no time to play hide-and-seek!
**[16:12] ---**
Come on out, Train!
**[16:17] ---**
Why... are you here?
**[16:20] ---**
I thought you were dead!
**[16:23] ---**
Zagine!
**[16:25] ---**
What's the matter?
Is that gun just for decoration?
**[16:29] ---**
Shoot!
**[16:31] ---**
This is your chance to
avenge your parents' deaths.
**[16:36] ---**
Eve!! Where are you?!
**[16:41] ---**
A flower?! That's the receptor!
I'm sure of it!
**[16:45] ---**
Eve should be there
in the center of that flower!
**[16:48] ---**
Where?! Where?!
**[16:53] ---**
Eve!
**[16:59] ---**
Eve!
**[17:01] ---**
Eve!!
**[17:06] ---**
Why hesitate?!
**[17:08] ---**
Let's hurry and... settle this!
**[17:14] ---**
I... came here to save my friend!
**[17:18] ---**
I don't have time to fight you!
**[17:25] ---**
You're as cowardly as ever!
**[17:28] ---**
If you won't shoot, I will go first.
**[17:35] ---**
Oh, looks like you're finally serious...
**[17:41] ---**
Hah! You hold a gun,
but don't intend to shoot, huh?
**[17:44] ---**
Fool!
**[18:09] ---**
Live or die...
**[18:14] ---**
I'll let you choose.
**[18:19] ---**
What's the matter?
**[18:20] ---**
If you pull the trigger, you might live.
**[18:25] ---**
You're not Zagine.
**[18:29] ---**
It's a trick by this monstrosity Eden...
**[18:32] ---**
The ghost inside my mind
just materialized, is all!
**[18:38] ---**
Humph, who cares?
**[18:41] ---**
The important thing right now is
if you pull the trigger, you can live.
**[18:49] ---**
Listen...
**[18:50] ---**
Those who choose guns
will live in solitude for life.
**[18:54] ---**
Everyone else is
either enemy or prey.
**[18:57] ---**
Those such as the friends
that you are trying to protect
**[19:00] ---**
are just weaklings comforting each other.
**[19:03] ---**
Hah! Weaklings
comforting each other, huh?
**[19:09] ---**
Damn!
**[19:10] ---**
We're surrounded!
**[19:13] ---**
Belze!
**[19:17] ---**
Echidna!
**[19:18] ---**
I'm the only one who can protect you, so...
**[19:22] ---**
Why you...!
**[19:26] ---**
Eve!!
**[19:28] ---**
Dammit! I can't reach her!
**[19:32] ---**
What'll I do?!
**[19:34] ---**
Break the stem of the flower!
**[19:35] ---**
Then Eve will be released
from the receptor!
**[19:38] ---**
H-How?
**[19:40] ---**
Dammit, where's Train when I need him?!
**[19:44] ---**
Hey Train! Do something!
**[19:48] ---**
You don't understand a thing, Zagine.
**[19:53] ---**
Train! I'll treat you to milk!
**[19:57] ---**
That's what makes it interesting!
**[20:33] ---**
Regarding those who were rescued
**[20:35] ---**
from the huge mysterious
flying object that went down...
**[20:37] ---**
It has just been confirmed
that all are alive!
**[20:40] ---**
Repeat, they are all alive!
**[20:48] ---**
Are you sure that it's okay, Eve?
**[20:57] ---**
Uh-huh...
**[20:58] ---**
She was nice to suggest
that you live with her.
**[21:05] ---**
Hello?
**[21:07] ---**
Oh, it's you.
**[21:08] ---**
Are things going well with Jenos?
**[21:12] ---**
You don't have to hide it.
**[21:16] ---**
What? You saw Train?
**[21:20] ---**
No... it's okay.
**[21:23] ---**
Thanks for letting me know.
**[21:28] ---**
Aren't you going to look for Train?
**[21:32] ---**
Nah.
**[21:35] ---**
Thanks, the milk was delicious.
**[21:39] ---**
See you around!
**[21:43] ---**
I didn't get to thank Train.
**[21:46] ---**
For saving me.
**[21:52] ---**
Not to worry...
**[21:53] ---**
He'll suddenly show up before long.
**[21:57] ---**
After all, he's a carefree stray cat.
**[22:07] ---**
Being free is nice, after all.
**[22:11] ---**
Say something?
**[22:12] ---**
Uh-uh...
**[22:28] ---**
*Since your new black
boots caused a blister,*
**[22:36] ---**
*you rest your right foot*
**[22:43] ---**
*We'll keep walking along
with our own rhythm, without rushing*
**[22:56] ---**
*Don't say anything*
**[23:04] ---**
*because we'll soon understand each other*
**[23:11] ---**
*I'm just holding you now to keep you warm*
**[23:25] ---**
*I'm completely wrapped around you, so...*
**[23:35] ---**
*Quietly the powder-like
snow is building up...*
