***SIGN*** Sarmakand International Airport
**[00:05] Chrono**
So I heard you beat Valeos.
**[00:08] Shion**
Yeah. I secured Magallanica's Zeroth Dragon.
**[00:12] Tokoha**
Pretty impressive!
**[00:13] Chrono**
Now we've gotta do something
while we've got the chance.
**[00:16] Shion**
The area where a warrior with
miraculous power from another world landed?
**[00:24] Chrono**
So if we go there,
we can get the G Zone back, right?
**[00:28] Ibuki**
To be precise, that's only if you go there and
succeed in making contact with Chrono Dran.
**[00:34] Ibuki**
According to Tatsunagi, in order for you
to grasp future possibilities again,
**[00:39] Ibuki**
you need Gear Chronicle's help.
**[00:43] Chrono**
To defeat Gyze, we've gotta get the G Zone
and my future possibilities back, right here!
**[02:22] Jaime**
I swear, when I saw Shion
acting so bravely to bring Fides back,
**[02:27] Jaime**
I was touched and excited to no end!
**[02:29] Jaime**
I wish you'd been there to see it!
**[02:33] Mamoru**
Thanks to that, there haven't been any more
cases of unusual phenomena for now.
**[02:39] Ibuki**
But Gyze has already returned, and it's only
a matter of time before something does happen.
**[02:45] Jaime**
Per instructions, I delivered the
Megiddo card to the North American Branch.
**[02:49] Ibuki**
Good work.
**[02:51] Ibuki**
Out of all the Association's facilities,
that one is especially top class.
**[02:57] Ibuki**
And they've got an excellent lineup there.
**[03:00] Ibuki**
They'll take on the Apostles,
beat them in a fight,
**[03:03] Ibuki**
and send them back to the planet Cray.
**[03:07] Ibuki**
All they have to do is wait
for the rats to take the bait.
***SIGN*** Turn 17 Land of Descent
**[03:23] Shion**
So this is the "Land of Descent"?
**[03:25] Tokoha**
We're supposed to wait here for our guide.
**[03:28] Rive**
I'm glad you could make it.
**[03:52] Mikuru**
Probably any time now...
**[03:54] Mikuru**
Chrono and my big brother...
**[03:56] Mikuru**
Good luck, you failure of a father.
**[04:00] Rive**
An observatory was built
near here in the 15th century
**[04:05] Rive**
to record the movements of celestial bodies.
**[04:07] Tokoha**
The 15th century...
**[04:09] Shion**
That would've been
about the Muromachi Period, right?
**[04:12] Rive**
It seems Ibuki once heard a legend
around here regarding certain ruins.
**[04:18] Rive**
One night, as the sky became distorted
and glowed the colors of the rainbow,
**[04:23] Rive**
a lone noble knight descended to the Earth,
**[04:25] Rive**
on a mission to seal away six evil dragons.
**[04:30] Shion**
Then that was...
**[04:32] Rive**
Yeah. Probably Holy Sword, Fides.
**[04:36] Rive**
Apparently, Ibuki realized that
after what just happened.
**[04:40] Rive**
He asked me to look into something.
**[04:44] Rive**
I compared it to Tatsunagi's information,
and it seems there's no doubt about it.
**[04:50] Rive**
With divine protection from Messiah,
Holy Sword, Fides landed here.
**[04:55] Shion**
And then he sealed away the
Zeroth Dragon cards in various places.
**[05:00] Rive**
I believe that after sealing away all the cards,
he ended up in the Far East,
**[05:03] Rive**
thoroughly exhausted, but was saved
by one of the Kiba ancestors.
**[05:11] Rive**
We're almost there, but are you tired?
**[05:16] Chrono**
Well...
**[05:18] Chrono**
I slept all the way over
on the plane, so not really.
**[05:21] Rive**
Oh?
**[05:40] Tokoha**
Wow!
**[05:42] Shion**
It's like a natural shrine.
**[05:45] Tokoha**
Hey, is that...?
**[05:50] Chrono**
A Vanguard circle?
**[05:51] Rive**
Yes. If even a faint trace of the space-time
connection from when Fides came still remains,
**[05:57] Rive**
our voices may be able to reach the planet Cray.
**[06:05] Rive**
I'll guide you. You've gotta really picture it.
**[06:08] Chrono**
Okay.
**[06:25] Chrono**
Dran! Where are you?!
**[06:27] Chrono**
Answer me!
**[06:29] Chrono**
Can't you hear me?!
**[06:32] Chrono**
Please answer me!
**[06:35] Chrono**
Dran!
**[06:39] Rive**
Didn't work, huh?
**[06:42] Rive**
Don't flip out. Your bond with the units
was weakened by Relics,
**[06:47] Rive**
and you lost the G Zone.
**[06:49] Rive**
This isn't gonna be easy.
**[06:52] Rive**
We'll try again tonight.
**[06:54] Rive**
Let's have something to eat before that.
**[07:00] Rive**
I'll get it ready.
**[07:02] Rive**
You guys rest a while.
**[07:04] Shion**
Okay.
**[07:08] Chrono**
Darn it! While we're here, Kazuma is...
**[07:12] Shion**
I know how you feel,
but you should try to stay calm.
**[07:16] Tokoha**
That's right.
**[07:19] Tokoha**
Since we're here, why don't you
talk to your father a bit?
**[07:23] Chrono**
I didn't come here for that!
**[07:26] Chrono**
Ow-ow-ow-ow! That hurts!
**[07:29] Tokoha**
How can you re-establish a bond with a unit
**[07:33] Tokoha**
if you can't even communicate
with your own family?
**[07:38] Chrono**
I don't even know what to talk about
with him after all this time.
**[07:43] Shion**
You don't have to force yourself to talk.
**[07:45] Tokoha**
Exactly. Especially at a time like this, right?
**[07:54] Rive**
What's wrong?
**[08:02] Rive**
Wanna play?
**[08:04] Chrono**
Yeah!
**[08:25] Chrono**
You're the strongest player
in the world, right, Dad?
**[08:38] Rive**
All right. Let's do it.
**[08:40] Chrono**
Okay!
**[08:42] The Two**
Stand up, Vanguard!
**[08:45] Chrono**
How about this?!
**[08:47] Rive**
Oh, no you don't!
**[08:48] Chrono**
All right! I attack your Vanguard!
**[08:52] Rive**
No guard!
**[08:54] Chrono**
Okay! I'm gonna win it with this drive check!
**[08:57] Rive**
In your dreams!
**[08:58] Chrono**
Oh! That's your plan?!
**[09:00] Tokoha**
Sheesh. He always needs
somebody to look after him.
**[09:02] Shion**
Were we being meddlesome?
**[09:04] Tokoha**
Maybe a little.
**[09:05] Tokoha**
But we came all this way, so I wanted
to give a little helpful push, you know?
**[09:11] Shion**
Yeah.
**[09:18] Rive**
Are you ready?
**[09:19] Chrono**
Yeah.
**[09:21] Rive**
Then let's begin.
**[09:23] Tokoha**
We'll help, too.
**[09:25] Shion**
So that the connection with the planet Cray
becomes even a little stronger,
**[09:28] Shion**
we'll picture it, too.
**[09:30] Tokoha**
So you'll be able to see Dran.
**[09:33] Chrono**
Okay.
**[09:34] Rive**
It's worth a try.
**[09:36] Rive**
I'm counting on you two.
**[09:37] The Two**
Right!
**[09:39] Rive**
Picture it. See it in your mind.
**[09:43] Rive**
There's a tunnel between the two worlds,
**[09:46] Rive**
and you guys are going through to see the units.
**[09:50] Rive**
It's a really long tunnel.
**[09:54] Tokoha (M)**
Please, if you can hear our voices, answer us.
**[09:58] Shion (M)**
For the sake of the planet Cray and our world!
**[10:02] Chrono (M)**
I wanna take back the future,
yours and mine, Dran!
**[10:25] Tokoha**
What is this?!
**[10:43] Tokoha**
Where are we?
**[10:44] Chrono**
The path Dran came down.
**[10:46] Tokoha**
So if we go down it this way,
we'll be able to meet Dran?
**[10:48] Chrono**
Yeah!
**[10:49] Shion**
But it won't lead us to the planet Cray yet.
**[10:53] Tokoha**
True.
**[10:54] Tokoha**
Which way should we go from here?
**[10:57] Chrono**
That one time, I called to the lost Dran
and guided him to our world.
**[11:03] Shion**
Then this time we have to
get there under our own power.
**[11:07] Tokoha**
If that's the case,
we just have to go straight ahead!
**[11:12] Chrono**
Hey, what the heck are you doin'?!
**[11:15] Tokoha**
What is this?!
**[11:17] Chrono**
Don't go too far.
**[11:19] Shion**
There is no up or down in this world?
**[11:22] Tokoha**
I wish they'd at least have a floor.
**[11:29] Chrono**
Ow!
**[11:32] Shion**
Ouch...
**[11:33] Shion**
It looks like you can do anything
in this world just by imagining it.
**[11:37] Tokoha**
So whatever we imagine appears here?
**[11:43] Shion**
Right. So don't get careless and
think of something weird, you two.
**[11:47] Chrono**
Easy for you to say, but I just now thought,
**[11:50] Chrono**
"It feels like something's gonna appear here."
**[11:55] Aliens**
Mega Mega!
**[11:57] Aliens**
Mega! Mega! Mega! Mega! Mega! Mega!
**[12:01] Tokoha**
Hey! Why did you imagine those?!
**[12:03] Chrono**
I couldn't help it.
They just popped into my head.
**[12:07] Tokoha**
I don't get it.
**[12:09] Alien**
Megaco!
**[12:13] Chrono**
Seriously?!
**[12:21] Shion**
I've got it!
**[12:22] Tokoha**
Hey!
**[12:23] Chrono**
What are you doin'?! Shion!
**[12:26] Shion**
Give me power!
**[12:34] Alien**
Megaco!
**[12:38] Tokoha**
Yeah!
**[12:40] Chrono**
I get it. Anything we can imagine...
**[12:43] Tokoha**
What fun! I'm gonna do it, too!
**[12:47] Chrono**
Here I come!
**[12:50] Alien**
Mega!
**[12:56] Tokoha**
Take this!
**[13:06] Tokoha**
We did it!
**[13:08] Shion**
This isn't playtime.
**[13:10] Tokoha**
Y-You're right.
**[13:13] Chrono**
But thanks to this,
I know what we should do now.
**[13:49] Shion**
This is...
**[13:50] Tokoha**
...the planet Cray?
**[14:01] Chrono**
Dran!
**[14:04] Chrono**
Dran!
**[14:05] Dran**
Chrono!
**[14:07] Chrono**
Dran!
**[14:10] Dran**
Chrono!
**[14:11] Chrono**
Dran!
**[14:12] Dran**
Chrono!
**[14:13] Chrono**
Dran!
**[14:14] Dran**
Chrono!
**[14:15] Chrono**
I finally get to see you!
**[14:17] Dran**
I knew you would come!
**[14:21] Chrono**
My old man and these two helped me.
**[14:25] Tokoha**
Hello.
**[14:26] Dran**
Thank you.
**[14:28] Tokoha**
You're welcome.
**[14:30] Dran**
I bet the fact that you three are here like this
is a sign of the bond between us and you,
**[14:36] Dran**
and also a sign of the power of fate
that flows between the two worlds.
**[14:40] Shion**
The power of fate?
**[14:42] Dran**
Yeah.
**[14:45] Shion**
What's the situation here on Cray?
**[14:49] Dran**
There are already pitched battles
with Gyze's army happening everywhere.
**[14:54] Dran**
Thanks to urgent reports from
Genesis's Amaruda and Stealth Dragon, Shiranui,
**[14:58] Dran**
now our ally, we were able
to escape their surprise attack.
**[15:03] Dran**
Right now we're coming up with countermeasures.
**[15:06] Dran**
We're going to fight them
with everything we've got.
**[15:09] Dran**
But it mustn't end like long ago,
with the Great Disaster.
**[15:14] Dran**
Especially because Gyze has come back
to your world by possessing a host.
**[15:23] Dran**
The time may come when we also have to
obtain physical forms to fight against Gyze.
**[15:29] Chrono**
What do you mean?
**[15:31] Tokoha**
You're going to diffride?
**[15:33] Dran**
We don't really have the ability to diffride.
**[15:38] Dran**
We would use a method one step above,
**[15:41] Dran**
to descend to your world
as beings that possess power.
**[15:47] Chrono**
You can do that?
**[15:48] Dran**
It's difficult, but that's the only way.
**[15:51] Dran**
If that time does come, Chrono, I need you
to use the power of your Singularity.
**[15:58] Dran**
Then Messiah and all of the Gear Chronicle units
will make every effort to send us to your world.
**[16:13] Dran**
Gear Chronicle's Singularity, Chrono Shindou!
**[16:18] Dran**
The Fides heir, Shion Kiba!
**[16:22] Dran**
The rare vanguard who has a bond
with the units that can never be lost,
**[16:26] Dran**
even after death, Tokoha Anjou!
**[16:30] Dran**
You three have a deep connection
to the Stride Gate, which started all this,
**[16:34] Dran**
and to Kazuma Shouji,
who's being diffridden by Gyze.
**[16:39] Dran**
As the guides of fate, I want you
to join us in a final battle against Gyze.
**[16:45] Dran**
That's the divine message Gear Chronicle's
Zodiac Time Beasts arrived at,
**[16:49] Dran**
as well as our collective opinion.
**[16:53] Chrono**
That's what I intended to do anyway.
**[16:55] Chrono**
I'm gonna defeat Gyze and get Kazuma back!
**[16:58] Tokoha**
So we don't have to stand by sucking
our thumbs, right? That works for me!
**[17:03] Shion**
Yeah. We're not going to be quiet
and just let our world be destroyed, either.
**[17:07] Dran**
Thank you.
**[17:08] Dran**
You know about the power of fate
**[17:11] Dran**
that flows between
your world and our world, right?
**[17:16] Chrono**
The power of fate...
**[17:17] Dran**
Yeah.
**[17:19] Onimaru**
The choices you Vanguard fighters make
change our world.
**[17:25] Dran**
It seems that there are those who misunderstand,
**[17:28] Dran**
but the power of fate definitely isn't produced
if there are only one-sided feelings.
**[17:33] Dran**
Just as when someone
has feelings for someone else,
**[17:35] Dran**
they're able to manifest unexpected strength.
**[17:39] Dran**
And just as when someone with
a strong will tries to make progress,
**[17:43] Dran**
someone who's watching them is encouraged.
**[17:46] Dran**
When the strong mental images
of bonded fighters and units
**[17:50] Dran**
call out to and resonate with each other,
**[17:53] Dran**
the feelings on both sides
will reverberate, link together,
**[17:56] Dran**
and awaken a strong power that even
shakes the truth of the universe.
**[18:01] Dran**
That's the miracle Vanguard's guidance brings.
**[18:04] Dran**
If either side loses even one cog,
**[18:06] Dran**
the gears of fate that run continuously
around two worlds will stop.
**[18:13] Dran**
We Gear Chronicle's Zodiac Time Beasts,
governors of time,
**[18:16] Dran**
are the ones who established
the movement of the gears of fate,
**[18:21] Dran**
as if watching over the eternal future.
**[18:26] Dran**
We, who have been watching over
the fate that comes here, have felt it.
**[18:32] Dran**
The things that will allow us to resist Gyze,
**[18:35] Dran**
and the overwhelming nothingness
Gyze aims to return everything to,
**[18:38] Dran**
just might be feelings born
from the normal activities of life:
**[18:43] Dran**
joy, hope, bonds,
and the desire to move forward.
**[18:48] Dran**
We have faith in you three
and the power of fate.
**[18:52] Dran**
We're betting on you.
**[18:54] Dran**
So, Chrono, let's take
our future back once more.
**[18:59] Chrono**
But how?
**[19:01] Dran**
The power of fate. We just have
to make our mental images resonate.
**[19:10] Dran**
Picture our future.
**[19:14] Chrono**
The future I want to grasp...
**[19:48] Tokoha**
Dran...
**[19:49] Dran**
All right, let's make a vow to each other
so we can fight on your world.
**[19:59] Shion**
They're...
**[20:04] Tokoha**
Ahsha!
**[20:07] Tokoha**
Ahsha!
**[20:12] Shion**
Altmile.
**[20:14] Chrono**
Huh...
**[20:18] Dran**
We make a pledge here to fight together.
**[20:22] Chrono**
To grasp a future that exceeds our mental image!
**[20:24] All**
Dimensional Overstride!
**[20:47] Shion**
What's this?
**[20:48] Tokoha**
Maybe... Dran?
**[20:50] Chrono**
Yeah. Chrono Dran Z.
**[20:53] Tokoha**
Huh...
**[20:54] Rive**
You shouldn't be surprised.
**[20:56] Rive**
You guys renewed a strong bond.
**[21:00] Chrono**
Yeah.
**[21:08] Rive**
I'm gonna stay here.
**[21:10] Rive**
In case something ever happens,
somebody needs to be here to protect this place.
**[21:15] Rive**
Thanks for everything.
**[21:18] Shion**
No, thank you.
**[21:21] Tokoha**
Please be careful, Rive.
**[21:23] Rive**
I will.
**[21:24] Chrono**
See ya.
**[21:25] Rive**
Chrono.
**[21:27] Rive**
Once all of this is behind us,
wanna fight again?
**[21:32] Chrono**
Come home, then.
**[21:36] Chrono**
You need to see Mikuru and apologize to her.
**[21:40] Rive**
You're right.
**[21:48] Tokoha**
You've matured some.
**[21:50] Shion**
He has.
**[21:51] Chrono**
What the heck?
**[21:53] Shion**
Whatever happens, let's beat Gyze
so you can fight again, too.
**[21:58] Chrono**
Yeah!
**[21:59] Tokoha**
Right!
**[23:56] Tokoha**
I never imagined
I'd be able to meet Ahsha like that!
**[24:00] Shion**
I was surprised, but when I saw Altmile,
I also felt a strange familiarity.
**[24:06] Chrono**
We were guided there.
**[24:08] Chrono**
Like Dran said, by our bond with the units.
**[24:12] Tokoha**
The power of fate, huh?
**[24:14] Shion**
Even if this bond is erased in the end,
it may become our ace in the hole.
**[24:18] Chrono**
Yeah. Wait for us, Kazuma!
