[00:03] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[00:06] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[00:10] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[01:47] Tokoha
    Kazuma!
[01:48] Tokoha
    Taiyou!
[01:50] Tokoha
    I heard Chrono disappeared! What happened?!
[01:53] Kazuma
    I don't know.
[01:55] Kazuma
    He just vanished, right in front of my eyes.
[01:57] Taiyou
    It looked like a spatial distortion.
[01:59] Taiyou
    It was similar to falling into Relics.
[02:02] Shion
    This is the place where Chrono fell into Relics.
[02:05] Shion
    Its effect may still be lingering.
[02:09] Shion
    And Chrono had that crest on his hand, right?
[02:15] Shion
    So the possibility still exists
    of him being turned into a vessel for Gyze?
[02:19] Taiyou
    Um, right before Relics was destroyed,
[02:24] Taiyou
    it looked like the crest on Chrono's hand
    was complete for just a moment.
[02:29] Shion
    What?!
[02:30] Taiyou
    Sorry. That's been
    bothering me ever since, but...
[02:35] Kazuma
    If only I'd taken you more seriously back then...
[02:38] Kazuma
    Darn it!
[02:39] Tokoha
    Stop!
[02:41] Tokoha
    Anyway, let's contact my brother
    and the others, then meet up.
[02:46] Tokoha
    Rather than focusing on
    "what I was thinking then,"
[02:48] Tokoha
    the priority is searching for Chrono!
[02:50] Shion
    Right.
[02:52] Kazuma
    Yeah.

[03:02] Arute
    Gear Chronicle's Singularity...
[03:06] Chrono
    Hey! Get ahold of yourself!
[03:10] Chrono
    Did you do this to Ibuki?!
[03:11] Arute
    Welcome to my curse space.
[03:15] Arute
    As he takes damage in the fight,
     his life is whittled away.
[03:20] Arute
    I alone, the one diffriding this body,
[03:24] Arute
    have been bequeathed my master's power.
[03:27] Arute
    It is a curse to destroy Messiah.
[03:33] Chrono
    No!
[03:34] Arute
    Now the life of Messiah's vanguard
    is in a precarious state.
[03:39] Arute
    And Messiah on the planet Cray
    is losing power hand in hand with that.
[03:44] Arute
    We have reached the day of destruction!
[03:47] Ibuki
    Not gonna happen!
[03:51] Chrono
    Don't overexert yourself!
[03:53] Chrono
    He won't die if he wins, right?
[03:55] Arute
    That's if his life holds out until the end.
[04:02] Chrono
    I'll do it!
[04:03] Arute
    What?
[04:04] Arute
    You?
[04:06] Arute
    Fight in his stead?
[04:08] Chrono
    Yeah!
[04:09] Arute
    Are you sure?
[04:11] Arute
    If you lose, he'll die.
[04:17] Ibuki
    Chrono...
[04:19] Ibuki
    I'm leaving it to you...
[04:21] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[04:25] Arute
    Fine.
[04:30] Chrono (M)
    The damage is 3 to 5.
[04:34] Chrono (M)
    They've each done one stride.
[04:37] Chrono (M)
    When I see your cards,
    I understand how you've fought up to now,
[04:42] Chrono (M)
    and the kind of fight you've pictured.
[04:48] Ibuki
    Everything about a person
    is displayed in a fight.
[04:55] Chrono
    I know how he fights better than anybody!
[04:58] Chrono
    I'm gonna win and get us both home!
[05:00] Ibuki
    Right. I'm counting on you!
[05:05] Chrono
    Here I go!
[05:06] Chrono
    Stride Generation!
[05:10] Chrono
    Genesis Dragon, Basaltis Messiah!
[05:20] Chrono
    Ideal Ego Messiah's stride skill!
[05:23] Chrono
    I put one card from my hand
    into a locked state!
[05:28] Chrono
    I draw one card!
[05:29] Chrono
    My Vanguard gets +5000 power!
[05:32] Chrono
    Call!
[05:33] Chrono
    Arrester Messiah!
[05:35] Chrono
    With its skill, it gets +2000 power!
[05:38] Chrono
    Arrester attacks your Vanguard!
[05:42] Arute
    Intercept.
[05:44] Chrono
    Arrester's skill!
[05:45] Chrono
    It locks itself!
[05:47] Chrono
    I lock Wackstum Vampir!
[05:50] Ibuki
    All right.
[05:51] Arute
    You handle that
    as if it were your own deck.
[05:55] Chrono
    That's because we've
    known each other for a long time.
[05:59] Chrono
    And I owe him big-time.
[06:03] Ibuki
    I'm entrusting you... with the future.
[06:08] Chrono
    I'm gonna repay you for what you did for me!
[06:12] Chrono
    This time for sure!
[06:17] Chrono
    Basaltis's skill!
[06:19] Chrono
    I lock Glanzend Vampir and Revolting Bolt!
[06:22] Chrono
    On top of that, I unlock Vlastos, 
    Arrester, and Sacrifice!
[06:27] Chrono
    I draw one card!
[06:29] Chrono
    Vlastos's skill!
[06:30] Chrono
    When it's unlocked, it gets +4000 power!
[06:34] Arute
    No guard.
[06:37] Chrono
    Triple drive!
[06:40] Chrono
    First check!
[06:41] Chrono
    Critical trigger!
[06:42] Chrono
    I give the power to Vlastos
    and the extra critical to Basaltis!
[06:46] Chrono
    Second check! Third check!
[06:50] Chrono
    Heal trigger!
[06:51] Chrono
    I give the power to Vlastos,
    and heal 1 damage point!
[07:08] Chrono
    I swear I'm gonna win this fight!
[07:12] Chrono
    Arrester Messiah!
[07:14] Arute
    Guard.
[07:16] Chrono
    Vlastos attacks your Vanguard!
[07:19] Arute
    Generation Guard!
[07:21] Arute
    Accumulated Attachment, Druj Nasu!
[07:24] Chrono
    I'm not done!
[07:26] Chrono
    Vlastos's skill!
[07:29] Chrono
    Soulcharge!
[07:30] Chrono
    Dunamis Messiah's skill!
[07:33] Chrono
    I unlock the locked Vlastos.
[07:35] Chrono
    +4000 power!
[07:37] Chrono
    Vlastos's skill!
[07:39] Chrono
    When it's unlocked, it gets +4000 power!
[07:42] Chrono

[07:45] Chrono
    Countercharge!
[07:47] Chrono
    Vlastos gets +3000 power!
[07:51] Arute
    Punish, release allies, 
     and attain power.
[07:56] Arute
    Messiah's usual trick...
[07:59] Chrono
    Go!
[08:01] Arute
    But it won't reach me.
[08:09] Chrono
    I couldn't clinch it!
[08:10] Ibuki
    But one row is locked.
[08:14] Ibuki
    Still, next, Zeroth Dragon will...
[08:21] Arute
    It's all for Gyze.
[08:24] Arute
    It is all as Gyze wills.
[08:47] Arute
    I never imagined a day like this would come.
[08:56] Arute
    Long ago, when we suffered defeat
    during the Cataclysm,
[09:03] Arute
    the Zeroth Dragons were
    sealed away in another world,
[09:06] Arute
    and so I thought Gyze's return
    was impossible.
[09:11] Arute
    I thought the only thing I could do
    was pray for Messiah to be cursed.
[09:19] Arute
    But what a quirk of fate!
[09:23] Arute
    This world was linked to ours.
[09:28] Arute
    By Gear Chronicle's Singularity!
[09:31] Arute
    Coming to this world, which I'd thought
    impossible, became possible!
[09:37] Arute
    Can you understand how I feel,
     Chrono Shindou?
[09:43] Arute
    My gratitude towards you knows no bounds.
[09:47] Arute
    It's all fate.
[09:49] Arute
    From birth to death, the inhabitants
    of this world struggle, fight,
[09:55] Arute
    and hurt each other,
    all so they can survive.
[09:58] Arute
    I've seen my fill of it.
[10:01] Arute
    The world wishes to be destroyed!
[10:04] Arute
    People want to be released
    from the drudgery of their empty lives!
[10:07] Arute
    From the foolish, empty deeds
    that they perform again and again!
[10:11] Arute
    From their meaningless, unbroken misery!
[10:14] Arute
    They beg for it to be ended quickly.
[10:17] Arute
    For that sake...
[10:19] Arute
    ...you were born!
[10:22] Arute
    Gear Chronicle's Singularity.
[10:24] Arute
    Your very existence is a grand manifestation
    of the world's quest for destruction!
[10:30] Arute
    A divine revelation!
[10:32] Arute
    That's right! It's too late!
[10:35] Arute
    No one, not even I, can stop this fate!
[10:40] Arute
    And now, in place of the Messiah's Vanguard,
    you're fighting me.
[10:47] Arute
    That too is fate.
[10:51] Chrono
    So what?
[10:54] Chrono
    What about it?!
[10:56] Chrono
    Is that all you wanted to say?!
[10:58] Arute
    What?
[10:59] Chrono
    I hate to admit it, but I know
    all too well how strong this guy is.
[11:05] Ibuki
    I believe you can handle this.
[11:07] Chrono
    Yeah. And if I fight the way he pictured it,
     there's no way I'm gonna lose.
[11:14] Arute
    I see.
[11:15] Arute
    Is that what you call a "bond"?
[11:19] Arute
    Fine.
[11:21] Arute
    How much of Gyze's power
    can that bond withstand?!
[11:27] Arute
    I look forward to finding out.
[11:30] Arute
    With the cost the same card as my Vanguard,
[11:33] Arute
    I put my future possibilities on the line.
[11:36] Arute
    The blessing of destruction
    for all living things...
[11:40] Arute
    If I lose the fight,
[11:41] Arute
    all of the cards in my Generation Zone
     will never return!
[11:45] Arute
    On the other hand!
[11:46] Arute
    If I win, Kouji Ibuki,
    the person you're playing for, will die,
[11:51] Arute
    and Messiah will lose its power.
[11:54] Arute
    And then, Chrono Shindou,
[11:57] Arute
    you will become Gyze!
[12:01] Arute
    You are on the verge of becoming the vessel.
[12:04] Arute
    In this world, you are the one most suitable
    to serve as host to my master!
[12:12] Arute
    Now you just need to be baptized.
[12:18] Arute
    Once that happens,
    you will arrive in this world as Gyze,
[12:23] Arute
    and with those hands, deliver the world's
    long-awaited downfall and destruction!
[12:29] Arute
    Devour my future and manifest!
[12:33] Arute
    Dark Zone's Zeroth Dragon!
[12:36] Arute
    Ultimate Stride!
[12:40] Arute
    Zeroth Dragon of End of the World, Dust!
[12:49] Arute
    Dust's skill!
[12:52] Arute
    All of your units lose their abilities,
     and their grade and power fall to 1.
[12:58] Chrono
    What?! I can't use skills?!
[13:00] Ibuki (M)
    With the cards all at power 1,
    he'll need a ton of them to fight.
[13:04] Chrono
    And if my Vanguard becomes grade 1,
    I can't guard with grade 2 and up!
[13:09] Chrono
    I can't intercept
    or use Generation Guard, either!
[13:13] Arute
    Moreover, your Vanguard takes 1 damage.
[13:21] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[13:24] Ibuki
    This is nothing... Keep going!
[13:29] Chrono
    But...
[13:30] Ibuki
    Continue!
[13:34] Chrono
    Ibuki!
[13:36] Chrono
    You jerk...
[13:38] Chrono
    I'm gonna make you pay!
[13:40] Arute
    Call!
[13:42] Arute
    Hysteric Shirley's skill.
[13:45] Arute
    Soulcharge.
[13:46] Arute
    Again, I call.
[13:48] Arute
    Gastille's Darkness.
[13:50] Arute
    I choose up to two grade 2 units from the Soul
[13:53] Arute
    and put them in the Drop Zone.
[13:55] Arute
    During this turn, I get
    all of the abilities that they possess.
[14:00] Arute
    Demonted Executioner's skill,
    which Gastille acquired.
[14:05] Arute
    I look at the top seven cards of my deck,
[14:07] Arute
    and put one card that has
    Darkness in the name into my Soul.
[14:10] Arute
    Then...
[14:11] Arute
    Demonted Executioner's Darkness,
    which Gastille acquired.
[14:16] Arute
    When there are ten or more cards
    in the Soul, it gets +5000 power!
[14:21] Arute
    Observe!
[14:23] Arute
    This is the destruction my master brings!
[14:26] Arute
    Its driving force is the power
    of the Zeroth Dragons!
[14:31] Arute
    Behold the final spectacle!
[14:34] Chrono
    Guard!
[14:36] Arute
    Triple drive!
[14:38] Arute
    First check.
[14:40] Arute
    Second check. Third check.
[14:42] Arute
    Critical trigger!
[14:44] Arute
    I give all of the effects
    to my rear-guard Gastille.
[14:47] Arute
    Gastille attacks your Vanguard!
[14:49] Arute
    Baleful Repressor's skill,
    which Gastille acquired.
[14:53] Arute
    When there are eight or more cards
    in the Soul, it gets +10000 power!
[14:57] Arute
    You can't guard with grade 0 units!
[14:59] Chrono
    What?!
[15:00] Arute
    Farewell, Messiah's Vanguard.
[15:03] Arute
    And thank you,
    Gear Chronicle's Singularity.
[15:08] Arute
    Now, be filled, vessel!
[15:11] Arute
    Downfall and destruction
    will soothe the world!
[15:15] Chrono
    Perfect guard!
[15:18] Chrono
    It's my fault these two worlds are connected.
[15:23] Chrono
    If you're saying that it's because of that...
[15:27] Chrono
    ...that he's goin' through this,
[15:31] Chrono
    then it's all the more reason
    I can't afford to lose!
[15:34] Chrono
    With all my might, I'm gonna...
[15:37] Chrono
    ...protect his life and our future!
[15:41] Ibuki
    Don't style that sophistry of yours as fate!
[15:47] Ibuki
    True fate is grasped with one's own hands!
[15:54] Arute
    Even with no cards in hand?
[15:56] Chrono
    Stand and draw!
[16:00] Ibuki
    All right!
[16:02] Chrono
    Here I go!
[16:03] Chrono
    Stride Generation!
[16:09] Chrono
    Genesis Dragon, Harmonics Neo Messiah!
[16:17] Chrono
    Prayer Child of Steady State Cosmo's skill.
[16:19] Chrono
    I lock two rear-guard units!
[16:22] Chrono
    I draw one card!
[16:25] Chrono
    Sacrifice's skill!
[16:27] Chrono
    Lock! Countercharge.
[16:29] Chrono
    Harmonics Neo Messiah gets +3000 power!
[16:33] Chrono
    I call Ideal Ego!
[16:35] Chrono
    Vlastos's skill!
[16:37] Chrono
    Lock! Soulcharge!
[16:40] Chrono
    My rear-guard Ideal Ego attacks your Vanguard!
[16:43] Arute
    Guard!
[16:44] Chrono
    Ideal Ego's skill!
[16:46] Chrono
    It locks itself.
[16:49] Chrono
    Here I go!
[16:55] The Two
    I attack your Vanguard!
[17:00] The Two
    Harmonics Neo Messiah's
    Generation Break Three!
[17:04] Chrono
    All locked units are unlocked!
[17:07] Chrono
    All unlocked units get +5000 power!
[17:13] Ibuki
    Harmonics Neo Messiah gets +25000 power!
[17:18] Chrono
    I unlocked five or more units, so you
    can't guard with grade 1 units or higher!
[17:22] Ibuki
    Vlastos's skill!
[17:24] Ibuki
    +4000 power!
[17:26] Chrono
    Neon Messiah Aurion's skill!
[17:28] Chrono
    I draw one card!
[17:30] Chrono
    +5000 power!
[17:34] Chrono
    I won't let you die!
[17:36] Ibuki
    I won't let you become a vessel.
[17:40] The Two
    Go!
[18:02] Chrono
    You okay?
[18:03] Ibuki
    Yeah. Thanks to you.
[18:16] Arute
    I see.
[18:18] Arute
    In short, I'm a pawn whose role ends here.
[18:22] Arute
    Already...
[18:23] Arute
    Even without me in this world...
[18:27] Arute
    ...it will be destroyed.
[18:31] Arute
    Like an actor who is out of lines,
    I will be a good sport and exit stage right.
[18:37] Arute
    However, no matter how you resist it
    henceforth, there is no escaping fate!
[18:44] Arute
    Gear Chronicle's Singularity...
[18:47] Arute
    Chrono Shindou!
[18:50] Arute
    The curtain will rise on the tragic finale.
[18:54] Arute
    I leave the rest to you, Valeos.
[19:07] Chris
    Certainly, there are still residual effects
     of the spatial distortion caused by Relics.
[19:14] Chris
    Unfortunately, I haven't found
    where those two disappeared to.
[19:26] Mamoru
    Ibuki?!
[19:29] Mamoru
    Chrono?!
[19:31] Mamoru
    Are you okay?!
[19:32] Mamoru
    Where's Ibuki?!
[19:34] Chrono
    With me.
[19:35] Chrono
    Sorry to make you worry.
[19:37] Kamui
    Right! Right! They're both safe!
[19:40] Kamui
    They're back!
[19:41] Trinity
    Yes!
[19:44] Tsuneto
    I knew Chrono could do it!
[19:47] Tsuneto
    Great! Let's get back to the Christmas party!
[19:49] Carl
    Good idea!
[19:50] Kei
    It's Christmas again!
[19:55] Chrono
    Hey!
[19:57] Chrono
    Are you okay?
[19:58] Ibuki
    Yeah...
[19:59] Chrono
    I said not to overdo it!
[20:00] Ibuki
    Don't treat me like an elderly man!
[20:04] Ibuki
    More importantly, here's your Christmas present.
[20:09] Chrono
    I haven't gotten a present
    from you in a long time.
[20:15] Chrono
    Hey! This is my Christmas present?!
[20:18] Ibuki
    You don't like it?
[20:20] Chrono
    No, I mean...
[20:22] Chrono
    Are you sure it's okay for me to have?
[20:26] Ibuki
    Yeah. I'm leaving it to you to use it
    in a way that won't destroy the world.
[20:34] Ibuki
    Show me that Gastille's talk about fate
    was an outrageous lie.
[20:40] Tsuneto
    He's late! Darn you, Chrono!
[20:42] Carl
    When he gets back,
    he better give us another present.
[20:46] Kei
    Come to think of it, what about Santa?
[20:49] Carl
    He's probably coming soon!
[20:51] Trinity
    Yay!
[20:53] Trinity
    Santa! Santa!
[20:57] Chrono
    Hey, why would you go this far
     to protect Vanguard?
[21:04] Ibuki
    Where did that come from?
[21:06] Chrono
    Everything about a person
    is displayed in a fight.
[21:10] Chrono
    When I fought in your place today,
[21:12] Chrono
    it reminded me of all the fights
    we've had up to now.
[21:16] Ibuki
    Okay. One day, when you become
    an old man, I'll answer your question.
[21:25] Ibuki
    Although it's not even a good story
    to tell while drinking...
[21:28] Chrono
    Hold on! Are you tellin' me
    I've gotta wait 'til I'm 20 to hear it?
[21:32] Ibuki
    Yeah, that's right.
[21:35] Chrono
    You never change.
[21:39] Chrono
    Always the miser...
[23:19] Ruuga
    Darkface...
[23:20] Darkface
    You!
[23:23] Darkface
    How could you?!
[23:25] Ruuga
    Chaos Breaker...
[23:26] Noa
    Team Q4 sure played you.
[23:30] Darkface
    And whose fault was that?!
[23:32] Noa
    You wanna crush them, don't you?
[23:34] Noa
    I'll help you.
[23:35] Darkface
    I don't want your help!
[23:37] Ruuga
    Free time is over.

[23:59] Ibuki

[24:01] Chrono

[24:05] Chrono
    They said Santa's supposed to show up soon.
