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!
