[00:15] Bruno
    Yo.
[00:17] Bruno
    You guys done saying your final goodbyes?
[00:30] Bruno
    Property damage, aggravated assault,
    unlawful use of Witch Kits...
[00:37] Bruno
    I could pin a whole bunch
    of other offenses on you,
[00:40] Bruno
    but we'll put all that aside for now.
[00:43] Bruno
    Take a look at this.
[00:49] Bruno
    Balgo Parks has now been officially
    designated a punitive dragon.
[00:54] Bruno
    From this moment on,
[00:55] Bruno
    every witch and wizard in Reverse
    London will be coming for his head.
[01:02] Balgo
    Huh? People are gonna be coming after me?
[01:04] Balgo
    Why, though?
[01:05] Balgo
    I don't see where this is going...
[01:08] Bruno
    Really? You guys haven't told him anything?
[01:12] Bruno
    Then again, I guess not telling a guy
    on borrowed time that he's about to die...
[01:17] Bruno
    might be the most merciful thing you can do!
[01:21] Balgo
    Wow. Both your face and
    your words are terrifying.
[01:25] Noel
    Ninny, I'm going to shoot
    Spark on the count of three,
[01:28] Noel
    so let's split up.
[01:29] Ninny
    Okay.
[01:31] Noel
    Would you rather take Balgo or Macy?
[01:34] Ninny
    Do you really need to ask that?
[01:38] Bruno
    I dunno what you two are discussing,
[01:40] Bruno
    but since everyone in Reverse
    London is gonna be hunting him,
[01:43] Bruno
    where the hell d'you think you can hide?
[01:46] Macy
    E-Excuse me...
[01:48] Macy
    Bruno...
[01:51] Macy
    I just heard Elly. She's getting closer.
[02:01] Macy
    Elly!
[02:03] Bruno
    So you followed us, huh?
[02:09] Bruno
    Too bad, though...
[02:10] Bruno
    I don't need you anymore.
[02:17] Bruno
    Huh?!
[02:18] Noel
    She disappeared?
[02:20] Ninny
    Come to think of it, when I first saw her,
[02:23] Ninny
    it looked like she just
    appeared out of the darkness...
[02:27] Ninny
    But no.
[02:28] Ninny
    She was actually invisible!
[02:30] Bruno
    I don't have time for this shit!
    She used Stealth Scale?!
[02:34] Bruno
    That's not something
    just any dragon can use!
[03:23] Macy
    Elly?
[03:42] Ninny
    What the heck? Her size
    and shape totally changed!
[03:48] Noel
    She must've molted in the moonlight.
[03:50] Ninny
    Wait, what? But that means—
[03:52] Bruno
    Yeah, exactly.
[03:56] Bruno
    Using Stealth Scale,
    molting in the moonlight...
[03:59] Bruno
    And... she's got six talons.
[04:03] Bruno
    Yeah, there's no doubt about it. That one...
[04:07] Bruno
    is a Märchen.
[04:10] Balgo
    Wh-What's a Märchen?
[04:13] Noel
    One of the seven dragons named
    after fairy tales that have
[04:16] Noel
    been around since the
    founding of Reverse London.
[04:20] Noel
    Snow White, Red Dress, Golden Axe,
[04:25] Noel
    Bubbles, Sugar House, Band of Animals...
[04:30] Noel
    And...
[04:32] Noel
    The one it is said only becomes a full-fledged
    dragon by molting in the moonlight...
[04:37] Noel
    Cinderella.
[04:39] Macy
    Cinderella?
[04:43] Noel
    It got its name due to the fact
    it only matures at night,
[04:48] Noel
    and because it scatters a dust
    called Star Ash when it gets agitated.
[04:53] Noel
    And everything the dust touches...
[05:04] Noels
    becomes enveloped in light.
    That's what the encyclopedia says.
[05:09] Ninny
    Why are you being all poetic?!
    They're clearly bombs!
[05:14] Bruno
    Balgo Parks!
[05:15] Balgo
    Y-Yes?!
[05:17] Bruno
    I'll hold off on killing you for now.
[05:21] Bruno
    The Märchens... The dark dragons' ancestors.
[05:24] Bruno
    Designated wicked dragons that are
    permanently authorized for elimination.
[05:27] Bruno
    Hypothetical enemies of mankind.
[05:30] Bruno
    Never thought I'd see one with my own eyes...
[05:35] Bruno
    I'm tingling with excitement.
[05:37] Ninny
    Hang on a second! You're
    planning to fight that thing?
[05:40] Bruno
    Don't be stupid. I'm not gonna fight it.
[05:43] Bruno
    I'm gonna kill it.
[05:45] Bruno
    There's no better way to
    make a name for myself.
[05:48] Bruno
    Don't get in my way, you little shits.
[05:50] Bruno
    Think you can manage with
    just three, Rickenbacker?
[05:55] Bruno
    That's my boy.
[05:59] Bruno
    Let's do this!
[06:02] Ninny
    He seriously went over there.
[06:06] Ninny
    Niiha, let's go for a frontal attack.
    We'll call HQ for reinforcements.
[06:10] Noel
    No.
[06:11] Ninny
    What?!
[06:12] Ninny
    What are you even saying?!
[06:15] Noel
    Balgo's punitive dragon
    designation hasn't been lifted.
[06:18] Noel
    If we request reinforcements,
    Balgo will be killed.
[06:22] Ninny
    W-Well, yeah... But this is an
    emergency, so maybe HQ won't...
[06:34] Ninny
    What the hell? Are those
    Star Ash things alive?!
[06:36] Noel
    I have no idea!
[06:38] Ninny
    What did your encyclopedia say?!
[06:40] Noel
    That dragon's called a Märchen.
[06:43] Noel
    The only information in
    the encyclopedia is legends.

[07:26] Bruno
    Hunger Shadow couldn't
    even draw a drop of blood?
[07:34] Bruno
    Yo. 'Bout time you little shits showed up.
[07:38] Bruno
    What happened to the other two?
    Did you leave them somewhere safe?
[07:42] Ninny
    Where would you actually consider "safe"?
[07:45] Noel
    We just left them over there.
[07:47] Noel
    Honestly, anywhere's safer than up here.
[07:50] Bruno
    You're tellin' me.
[07:53] Bruno
    Back me up, you two!
[07:56] Bruno
    We can kill Cinderella if we
    break her crown-like horns.
[08:01] Noel
    Are you sure that's not just a legend?
[08:04] Bruno
    We're fighting a literal fairy tale here!
[08:06] Bruno
    What else do we have to go on?
[08:10] Bruno
    If I can nail that thing with your help,
    your reps will skyrocket, too.
[08:15] Bruno
    After that, I might consider
    getting you into the Inks.
[08:18] Ninny
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure...
[08:20] Noel
    ...we never asked for that.
[08:29] Bruno
    You guys really piss me off. You know that?
[08:33] Ninny
    Niiha, we'll circle around it
    so it doesn't notice us.
[08:37] Noel
    Understood.
[08:42] Ninny
    No way! It already figured us out!
[08:46] Ninny
    We're breaking through, Marshal!
[09:01] Ninny
    High into the starry road,
    to the ends of the night,
[09:04] Ninny
    White Alva in formation.
[09:06] Noel
    Leeds wreathe, light right,
[09:09] Noel
    look heavenward, for there lies your end.

    Once this thing envelops you,
    it ain't gonna you out.
[09:43] Bruno
    You try to explode in there, and the
    explosion will kill you, Cinderella!
[09:55] Balgo
    She self-destructed?!
[09:56] Macy
    Elly!
[10:00] Balgo
    They're falling!
[10:02] Balgo
    I've got you! I've got you! I've got—
[10:08] Balgo
    I'm sorry, Noel!
[10:09] Macy
    Nina!
[10:15] Bruno
    Shit. That thing's still alive.
[10:18] Bruno
    Guess your own blasts can't kill you.
[10:22] Bruno
    You damn monster.
[10:28] Noel
    I guess she's not going to self-destruct.
[10:31] Ninny
    No fair. She's way too OP.
[10:33] Balgo
    Y-You okay, Noel?
[10:36] Noel
    I'm just peachy.
[10:48] Bruno
    The hell?
[10:51] Bruno
    Where's it going?
[10:53] Ninny
    Ow...
[10:59] Noel
    Cinderella's heading this way!
[11:01] Noel
    Shield!
[11:04] Ninny
    Why are you heading over here?
[11:06] Ninny
    Get mad at that guy, not us!
[11:08] Balgo
    Ooh, that's a cool spell!
[11:10] Macy
    Wait!
[11:13] Macy
    She might be coming to see me.
[11:15] Macy
    Is there really no other
    option than to kill her?
[11:18] Ninny
    Are you seriously still saying that, Macy?
[11:20] Noel
    Ninny, concentrate!
[11:28] Macy
    Nina!
[11:30] Balgo
    Owie...
[11:38] Macy
    Wait...
[11:40] Macy
    Please stop this, Elly!
[11:42] Macy
    Don't you recognize me?!
[11:51] Macy
    Elly...
[11:57] Ninny
    Get back!
[12:05] Ninny
    This is why I'm telling you it's impossible.
[12:09] Ninny
    No matter how much you love them,
[12:12] Ninny
    there are times you just
    can't get through to them.
[12:16] Ninny
    How long are you going to keep this up?
[12:20] Ninny
    She'll give you strength?
    She'll take you somewhere special?
[12:27] Ninny
    You're not in a damn fairy tale.
[12:30] Macy
    Nina...
[12:32] Ninny
    Fairy tales are such bullshit.
[12:37] Ninny
    What's the point when the spell
    breaks in the middle of it all?
[12:40] Ninny
    It was inevitable because
    you broke your promise?
[12:43] Ninny
    Or time ran out, so what can you do?
[12:46] Ninny
    Inevitable, my ass!
[12:48] Ninny
    It's all so stupid!
[12:51] Ninny
    You and everyone else have no
    idea why the spell really breaks.
[12:57] Ninny
    The reason the spell breaks so randomly...
[13:00] Ninny
    is because it wasn't your own doing.
[13:04] Ninny
    Macy, we're supposed to be
    the ones casting the spells.
[13:14] Noel
    It's coming back, Ninny.
[13:15] Ninny
    Okay! Let's do this!
[13:18] Balgo
    Noel! Is there anything I can do to help?
[13:21] Noel
    Absolutely not.
[13:22] Noel
    Just hold on to that pipe we gave
    you and go cower in the corner.
[13:26] Balgo
    You didn't sugarcoat that at all!
[13:30] Ninny
    If you understand, get going!
    Don't you dare let Osushi get hurt!
[13:34] Balgo
    Okay, okay, I get it!
[13:36] Balgo
    Let's stay put, Osushi.
[13:50] Balgo
    What's this thing?
[13:50] Both
    We'd like to know that ourselves!
[13:52] Ninny
    No, seriously! What the hell's with that sword?
[13:55] Noel
    Did that come from the
    pipe we gave you? But how?
[13:59] Bruno
    There she is, Rickenbacker!
[14:06] Bruno
    Something's off...
[14:07] Ninny
    Hey, how'd you do that?
[14:09] Balgo
    I have no idea!
[14:10] ---
    Lemme see!
[14:14] Noel
    Cinderella stopped moving?
[14:37] Chief
    Good grief. Hopefully that settles that.
[14:55] Ninny
    What?!
[14:57] Ninny
    How'd we get zero earnings after all that?!
[15:01] Chief
    But it's not zero.
[15:03] Chief
    See? It's right here.
[15:05] Ninny
    Five points and five scale
    pounds is basically zero.
[15:09] Ninny
    We took down a legendary
    dragon and that's all we get?
[15:12] Ninny
    Of course we're not okay with that!
[15:14] Chief
    It's a miracle you're not in negative
    numbers after all that destruction.
[15:18] Chief
    Honestly, it's impressive.
[15:20] Chief
    And anyway, it says here that
    Director Bangnyfe dealt the final blow.
[15:26] Ninny
    Huh?! What the hell?!
[15:28] Ninny
    He didn't do it, either!
[15:31] Chief
    If he didn't do it "either," that means
    you two also didn't do it, correct?
[15:36] Chief
    So there you have it.
[15:39] Chief
    Patchworks is collecting and
    preserving Cinderella's corpse.
[15:42] Chief
    And, oh yeah...
[15:44] Chief
    Come on in.
[15:50] Ninny
    Macy? What the hell?!
[15:53] Ninny
    Don't tell me we're taking in another one!
[15:55] Chief
    Wow, you're pretty sharp!
[15:58] Chief
    You got it. We determined
    she's a light case of a dragonclad,
[16:04] Chief
    so we'll be taking her in.
[16:08] Chief
    Won't that be fun?
[16:10] Ninny
    No one asked for your opinion!
[16:15] Macy
    We're going to have so much fun, Nina!
[16:19] Noel
    Excuse me.
[16:21] Noel
    What's going to happen to Balgo?
[16:24] Chief
    Oh, right.
[16:27] Wolfgang
    A motion to release Balgo Parks
    from his punitive dragon status?
[16:33] Wolfgang
    You're the last person I expected this from.
[16:36] Wolfgang
    According to our investigation,
[16:40] Wolfgang
    Balgo Parks had an encounter
    with Macy Baljure two months ago.
[16:45] Wolfgang
    And if that was the trigger that
    caused Cinderella to appear,
[16:51] Wolfgang
    that's more than enough
    reason to keep him alive...
[16:55] Wolfgang
    If he's really going to be the key to
    exterminating all of the Märchens.
[17:05] Guy
    Did you read the Cinderella damage report?
[17:07] Guy
    Sure did.
[17:09] Guy
    It's absolutely insane.
[17:10] Guy
    Good morning!
[17:12] Guy
    Good morning, Director Squire!
[17:16] Squire
    I have to ask...
[17:18] Squire
    When did this area become a storage space?
[17:22] Guy
    We're terribly sorry!
    We'll move them immediately!
[17:25] Guy
    Come on, hurry up!
[17:26] Guy
    Yeah.
[17:40] Squire
    That Junior...
[17:42] Squire
    I guess I'm glad I wasn't
    mistaken about you...
[17:46] Squire
    Son of a hero.
[17:51] Balgo
    Osushi!
[17:53] Balgo
    You're as cute as ever! Yes, you are!
[17:55] Balgo
    You're so cute, you're set for life!
[18:00] Balgo
    Welcome back, Noel!
[18:02] Balgo
    The chief just came by and
    took back the mantle and pipe.
[18:07] Balgo
    I guess I didn't get to keep them after all.
[18:09] Balgo
    Too bad.
[18:12] Balgo
    Uh, Noel? Huh?
[18:23] Balgo
    Did something bad happen?
[18:27] Noel
    No.
[18:29] Balgo
    Well, did something good happen, then?
[18:34] Noel
    Yes.
[18:37] Balgo
    Well, glad to hear it,
[18:39] Balgo
    Noel!
[18:43] Osushi
    Show me your panties!
[18:50] Osushi
    Noel!
[18:53] Osushi
    Show me your panties!
[18:57] Guy
    That's it, that's it.
[19:00] Guy
    Okay, right there.
[19:02] Ninny
    Jeez... They finally fixed that stupid thing.
[19:06] Sign
    "Soul Society West Branch"
[19:17] Noel
    Please wait, Balgo.
[19:20] Noel
    I'm going to shut Osushi up forever.
