[00:03] Belle
    I want the strength to send him flying.
[00:05] Belle
    The strength to smash this
    overwhelming violence!
[00:11] Belle
    No...
[00:13] Belle
    Why is it that I swing my sword?
[00:17] Belle
    What was it that you taught me?
[00:24] Negroni
    Want go home... The sea...
[00:26] Kitty
    Did you find what you were seeking?
[00:27] Tom
    Trust the visions you catch
    glimpses of in your mind.
[00:30] Belle
    What am I holding right now?
[00:34] Belle
    What have my hands grasped?
[00:38] Belle
    What's the spell just for me?
[00:47] Belle
    Oh, I get it.
[00:50] Belle
    Even if my sword breaks
     or the reason I'm here changes,
[00:55] Belle
    I get to see where my
    transformation takes me.
[01:01] Belle
    So I can go on a journey
    to somewhere that isn't here.
[01:01] Signs
    Somewhere That Isn't Here
    Utopia
[01:23] Belle
    I'll try myself.
[01:26] Belle
    To find out why I'm here—
[01:29] Belle
    That's what I swing my sword for.
[01:35] Belle
    I'll try you, too.
[01:38] Belle
    With this sword.
[01:40] Adonis
    That's it, Belle!
[01:42] Adonis
    That's where your curse
    and your blessing come from!
[01:49] Adonis
    Can you cut me,
[01:51] Adonis
    one and only personality?!
[02:03] Belle
    Pierce the world!
[02:09] Belle
    That's when I'll be carved into the world!
[02:13] Belle
    When I'll truly bloom!
[03:59] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[04:01] Signs
    Bye Bye, Earth
[04:06] Mist
    The Katakombe's in danger?!
[04:08] Messenger
    An underground passage has linked
    it to the castle without warning.
[04:13] Mist
    How did that happen?
[04:14] Messenger
    According to High Priest Colonel,
[04:17] Messenger
    it relates to a secret rite of the Katakombe
[04:20] Messenger
    passed down only to each successive
    head of the Collins clan.
[04:24] Cloud
    So something's happening in the castle?
[04:26] Mist
    Don't tell me Gwyn started this.
[04:28] Messenger
    As it happens, the detail that truly
    shocked us does concern Gwyn.
[04:36] Messenger
    One of his messages to Colonel predicted
    this development in no uncertain terms.
[04:44] Messenger
    Colonel has decided to welcome Gwyn
    and his band as vital to the Katakombe.
[04:52] Mist
    He did it. He finally dragged
    us into his script.
[05:00] Mist
    Our clan will take the lead
    and scout the tunnel.
[05:05] Messenger
    We are in your debt.
[05:06] Cloud
    Don't sweat it.
[05:08] Cloud
    We knew we'd have to go
    meet up with Gwyn anyway.
[05:12] Cloud
    Especially Mist.
[05:14] Mist
    Smartass!
[05:16] Mist
    Prepare to set out at once!
[05:18] Mist
    We're going through the
    Katakombe to the castle!
[05:21] Froggies
    Yeah!
[05:22] Army
    Nowhere...
[05:26] Gwyn
    The Army of Insatiable Emptiness.
[05:27] Army
    Nowhere...
[05:32] Gwyn
    Don't move, Bennett.
[05:35] Bennett
    But we have to do something.
[05:36] Gwyn
    This is an ordeal.
[05:39] Gwyn
    Sir Lead Solist, I choose to believe
    in your pride as one of the people.
[05:44] Gwyn
    In your will to be a king to all of us!
[05:49] Gaff
    Slay the one who would cause harm.
[05:52] Gaff
    Am I meant to obey that command?
[05:56] Gaff
    I will cut down the self-confessed Nidhogg.
[05:59] Gaff
    What other path can there be?
[06:02] Gaff
    I've sacrificed too many friends for order.
[06:07] Gaff
    It's too late to change!
[06:09] Gwyn
    I don't believe it!
[06:10] Gwyn
    God is controlling the priests
    to strike at Princess Sherry!
[06:15] Gaff
    I don't understand.
[06:16] Gaff
    Why am I...
[06:18] Gaff
    Why is this sword of mine here?!
[06:21] (Flashback) Belle
    But you still won't listen
    to what your sword is saying.
[06:25] (Flashback) Belle
    I'll give my sword its proper station.
[06:29] Gaff
    I've heard that somewhere.
[06:31] Gaff
    I don't know where or when,
[06:33] Gaff
    but I've heard those very words before!
[06:41] Gaff
    Let my hand bear the sin!
[06:48] Gaff
    Finally, I remember.
[06:51] Gaff
    It was when I took up this sword.
[06:55] Gaff
    That sorrowful swordwright told me...
[07:00] (Flashback) Dram
    Use the good within you
[07:03] (Flashback) Dram
    to give your sword its proper station.
[07:14] Gaff
    Sword of mine, guide my way!
[07:18] Gaff
    You want me to abandon
     the mentality of a slave to god?
[07:22] Gaff
    I spent all that solitary time devoted
    to the pursuit of privilege.
[07:26] Gaff
    You want me to cut that off
    and throw it away?!
[07:30] Emoclew
    You are a king.
[07:36] Sherry
    Sire, please. Defend me.
[07:40] Sherry
    Like the Holy Star that rises through
    the night and into the dawn sky.
[07:54] Gaff
    I have overcome the last ordeal
    of one who would be king!
[07:59] Gaff
    God is dead!
[08:01] Gaff
    I hold god's dying wish in my hands!
[08:04] Gaff
    Now that god's will is lost,
[08:06] Gaff
    only Emoclew, the sword of the kingdom
    wrought from the divine tree's steel,
[08:12] Gaff
    stands as the true symbol of our land!
[08:15] Gaff
    Command your swords!
[08:17] Gaff
    Bid them cut down any and all who
    would stop our divine princess
[08:21] Gaff
    from singing the song of the people!
[08:27] Solist
    Yeah!
[08:29] Solist
    All right!
[08:31] Solist
    Let's do it!
[08:32] Solist
    Now we're talking!
[08:32] Solist
    Show them what we're made of!
[08:35] Gwyn
    Lead solist!
[08:36] Gwyn
    Together, we can—
[08:40] Gaff
    The sword of the kingdom
    is our land's new symbol.
[08:43] Gaff
    Never the key to journeys
    or the ideals of the Katakombe.
[08:49] Gaff
    I will smash the key to journeys
     myself someday!
[08:54] Gwyn
    We'll get that key
[08:56] Gwyn
    and show the people
     Schwert Musik and ways of being
[08:58] Gwyn
    that are different from the castle's.
[09:00] Gaff
    The Park and the castle will always stand
[09:03] Gaff
    as models of Schwert Musik
    and proper conduct.
[09:07] Gwyn
    And there you'll be, a king of the people?
[09:11] Gaff
    Exactly.
[09:12] Gaff
    But first, we vanquish this threat together.
[09:16] Gaff
    Any objections?
[09:18] Gwyn
    As the elder prince commands.
[09:20] Bennett
    We were enemies just moments go.
[09:23] Gwyn
    You're more ruthless than
    you look, Bennett.
[09:27] Gwyn
    We'll settle things with Gaff another day!
[09:29] Gwyn
    Our enemies are dwellers in darkness
     and god-sent ghosts!
[09:42] Gwyn
    This is no less than god's funeral!
[09:45] Gwyn
    Sing the requiem only one who
    knows why she's here can!
[09:59] Kitty
    Welcome, Princess Sherry.
[10:02] Kitty
    Your stage stands ready to receive you.
[10:06] Kitty
    This has been my dearest wish.
[10:08] Kitty
    Everything depends on you now.
[10:20] Sherry
    Are you leaving so soon?
[10:23] Kitty
    The Army of Insatiable Emptiness
     has resurfaced.
[10:27] Kitty
    That proves the wolf lad
    is about to tempt fate.
[10:32] Sherry
    Then no one will hear my song?
[10:36] Sherry
    The first song that's entirely mine?
[10:39] Kitty
    This whole castle is your audience.
[10:42] Kitty
    Without your song,
[10:44] Kitty
    none of us—Belle included—could
    keep sight of what brought us here.
[10:51] Kitty
    Now, Your Highness, your stage!
[10:55] Kitty
    Take it!
[11:03] Sherry
    Please, good traveling Rabbitia,
[11:05] Sherry
    tell me just one more thing.
[11:08] Sherry
    Do you know what I'm to sing?
[11:13] Kitty
    Simply sing,
[11:16] Kitty
    as though you're going on a journey.
[11:24] Sherry
    Yes, like I'm going on a journey...
[11:46] Belle
    What did I just cut?
[11:52] Belle
    Runding's back to normal!
[12:02] Adonis
    This sword... would never hurt me.
[12:09] Adonis
    Its steel never stops dying.
[12:13] Adonis
    No matter how badly you break it,
[12:16] Adonis
    it will swallow death and come back.
[12:21] Adonis
    So why...
[12:23] Adonis
    Why is it taking so long to recover?
[12:27] Adonis
    Because your blade turned my
    sword into something else...
[12:32] Belle
    Don't talk. Do you want to die?
[12:35] Belle
    If you're going to anyway, forget that crap
     and pick better last words.
[12:40] Belle
    How about, "Sorry, I fell head over
    heels for you after all."
[13:00] Belle
    I'm not rotting.
[13:05] Adonis
    The world never reaches out to make peace
    with me until it's already too late.
[13:15] Adonis
    You haven't cut me yet!
[13:30] Adonis
    Belle...
[13:31] Adonis
    Time for the awakening.
[13:34] Adonis
    God can't hear even
    Princess Sherry's song anymore,
[13:38] Adonis
    or resonate even with Prince Gaff's sword.
[13:42] Adonis
    Nor with your howl, Princess Should-Have-Been.
[13:48] Adonis
    Come forth from my shadow,
    Fangs of Insatiable Emptiness!
[13:52] Adonis
    The time has come to put our
    questions to the god machine!
[13:58] Army
    Nowhere!
[14:01] Adonis
    See why Deus Ex Machina was
    born and what it hungers for!
[14:08] Adonis
    I am the Prince Fatal,
     and my wail will lay its craving bare!
[14:23] Belle
    Is that...
[14:25] Belle
    Ashes of the Tried?!
[14:39] Adonis
    Lay it bare this time!
[14:42] Adonis
    Whatever we free from this god's
    mortal shell is true divine hunger!
[14:47] Adonis
    The source from which the Army was born!
[14:51] Belle
    Adonis!
[14:58] Belle
    Kitty!
[14:59] Kitty
    What terrible power!
[15:06] Belle
    What?
[15:11] Belle
    Is that... god?
[15:15] Guidance
    Take heed.
[15:18] Guidance
    That crucible of information, of memory,
[15:22] Guidance
    filled over the course
    of centuries and then millennia...
[15:25] Guidance
    Now divine hunger will take
    form and emerge from it.
[15:33] Belle
    It looks like... me?
[15:37] Belle
    Are you saying god's been craving me?!
[15:43] Kitty
    Not yet, Belle!
[15:45] Kitty
    If it pulls you in too,
    there will be no stopping it!
[15:48] Kitty
    Bide your time.
[15:49] Kitty
    Wait until the other bird I called for sings!
[16:09] Belle
    Adonis?
[16:15] Adonis
    Girl of reason.
[16:18] Adonis
    I'm melting into you.
[16:24] Belle
    Do you want to be me that badly?!
[16:33] Sherry Song
    O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!
[16:43] Belle
    A song.
[16:46] Sherry Song
    Sondern laßt uns angenehmere
[16:55] Sherry Song
    anstimmen und freudenvollere!
[16:59] Belle
    Sherry.
[17:14] Sherry Song
    Freude!
[17:16] Kitty
    Blue priests of the chronicle!
[17:17] Sherry Song
    Freude!
[17:17] Belle
    They're here too?
[17:19] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[17:22] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[17:25] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[17:29] Sherry Song
    Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[17:32] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[17:34] Gaff
    Hold your ground!
[17:35] Gaff
    The true divine song
    resounds from behind us!
[17:35] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[17:38] Gaff
    Listen to the song of blessed protection!
[17:39] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[17:41] Gaff
    What we defend also defends us!
[17:42] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[17:46] Gaff
    Onward!
[17:46] Gaff
    Make your swords sing of honor!
[17:49] Gwyn
    Priests and solists, all fighting
    without a divine summons!
[17:54] Gwyn
    They're all wielding their strength
    to seek their own Law of Theme!
[17:59] Gwyn
    Behold the unprecedented Schwert Musik
    that will set this land on a new course!
[18:05] Sherry Song
    Freude trinken alle Wesen
[18:08] Sherry Song
    An den Brüsten der Natur;
[18:12] Sherry Song
    Alle Guten, alle Bösen
[18:15] Sherry Song
    Folgen ihrer Rosenspur.
[18:15] Violet Priestess
    Her Highness is singing.
[18:18] Sherry Song
    Küsse gab sie uns und Reben,
[18:22] Sherry Song
    Einen Freund, geprüft im Tod;
[18:22] Cat-eyes 1
    I'll be!
[18:23] Cat-eyes 2
    Is the whole castle singing?
[18:25] Sherry Song
    Wollust ward dem Wurm gegeben,
[18:28] Mist
    What's going on?
[18:28] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
[18:30] Cloud
    Huh?
[18:31] Mist
    Cloud! Your leg!
[18:32] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
    Steht vor Gott!
[18:33] Cloud
    The pain's gone.
[18:35] Sherry Song
    Und der Cherub steht vor Gott!
    Steht vor Gott!
[18:35] Gaff
    No one can harm my sword now!
[18:39] Gaff
    God's dying wish dwells in my blade!
[18:42] Gwyn
    Go on! Sing!
[18:43] Gwyn
    Sing our new battle!
[18:46] Gwyn
    Make this our starting point!
[18:50] Dram
    Listen, Sian.
[18:52] Dram
    I can hear it. Such a cruel song...
[18:57] Dram
    Sung with joy.
[18:58] Guidance
    The mechanized dead are racing toward you,
[19:02] Guidance
    the source of their insatiable emptiness.
[19:06] Guidance
    This is divine hunger.
[19:10] Belle
    So the priests and the Army come
    from the same thing, deep down.
[19:15] Belle
    The reason I'm here now
[19:17] Belle
    is to try my sword on you!
[19:24] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[19:27] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[19:31] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[19:34] Sherry Song
    Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[19:38] Adonis
    So this is the body recorded
    in the divine memory core.
[19:38] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:42] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:45] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[19:47] Adonis
    This is the origin of the world—
[19:49] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[19:50] Adonis
    The thing god considered
    its reason for being.
[19:53] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[19:56] Kitty
    I cannot die...
[19:56] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[19:59] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:00] Kitty
    Not until I wipe the gods' power
[20:03] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:04] Kitty
    from the world!
[20:11] Belle
    Hey.
[20:13] It
    So you've come.
[20:17] Guidance
    God's mind sought its own
    reason in its memories
[20:18] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken,
[20:21] Sherry Song
    Tochter aus Elysium,
[20:21] Guidance
    and manifested in that borrowed form.
[20:25] Sherry Song
    Wir betreten feuertrunken,
[20:25] Belle
    What's everyone's problem?
[20:27] Belle
    Is my face that easy to fake?
[20:29] Sherry Song
    Himmlische, dein Heiligtum!
[20:30] It
    Precisely.
[20:32] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:32] It
    For you are the source
    of every being in this world—
[20:36] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:39] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:41] It
    The girl who caused our functions
    to initiate generations of heterogenesis.
[20:44] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[20:47] Sherry Song
    Deine Zauber binden wieder,
[20:50] Sherry Song
    Was die Mode streng geteilt;
[20:51] It
    When the girl of reason pierces the world,
[20:54] Sherry Song
    Alle Menschen werden Brüder,
[20:56] It
    we lose our very existence!
[20:57] Sherry Song
    Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt!
[21:00] Belle
    You mean me finding out
     why I'm here is going to kill you?
[21:05] It
    Yes.
[21:06] It
    We will explain the causal link.
[21:09] It
    We are a system, and that is our purpose.
[21:13] Sherry Song
    Freude, schöner Götterfunken!
    Götterfunken!
[21:14] It
    Set foot in this space we occupy,
[21:19] It
    girl of reason!
[21:22] Belle
    Fine.
[21:23] Belle
    I'll take a ride on your sinking ship.
[21:25] Belle
    You can scheme all you like.
[21:28] Belle
    This sword will try everything
    you throw at me!
[21:46] Belle
    Where am I?
[21:48] It
    Behold the paradise of the ancient gods.
