**[00:01] Aichi**
Noa, we're going to get you back.
**[00:03] Aichi**
For Arata and Makoto, but especially for you!
**[00:07] Aichi**
Stand up, my avatar!
**[00:11] Aichi**
I ride Blaster Blade!
**[00:15] Aichi**
Call!
**[00:17] Aichi (M)**
A two-against-one tag team fight.
**[00:20] Aichi (M)**
Whichever side gets 9 points loses.
**[00:26] Aichi (M)**
Our damage is added together.
**[00:29] Aichi (M)**
The turns go: Kai, Noa, and then me.
**[00:33] Aichi (M)**
Then it goes back to Noa.
**[00:36] Noa (M)**
I can only attack the fighter
who had the previous turn.
**[00:45] Kai (M)**
Any fighter can use board interference skills
like retiring and locking.
**[00:52] Kai**
Ride the Vanguard!
**[00:55] Kai**
Dragonic Overlord "The Destiny"!
**[01:06] Noa (M)**
Now, dance in the palm of my hand.
**[01:11] Noa (M)**
Cling to hope, speak of the future,
**[01:14] Noa (M)**
pour all of your delight and despair into my cup.
**[01:21] Noa (M)**
This is the time of the feast!
**[01:32] Noa**
Arata... Makoto...
***SIGN*** Turn 19 Choice of the Jester
**[03:14] Noa**
Ride!
**[03:19] Noa**
Star-vader, Chaos Breaker Crisis.
**[03:25] Noa**
Lock!
**[03:28] Noa**
Darkface lost.
**[03:33] Noa**
And Zoo's Zeroth Dragon fell into your hands.
**[03:38] Noa**
That makes it three to three.
**[03:41] Noa**
And here, 4 to 4.
**[03:44] Kai**
What are you scheming?
**[03:46] Aichi**
You went to the trouble of bringing us
to this place, and a tag fight at that...
**[03:52] Noa**
I'm surprised.
**[03:55] Noa**
This is about our relationship.
**[03:58] Noa**
All I did was prepare
an appropriate venue to reflect that.
**[04:03] Noa**
I have no interest in crushing you one by one.
**[04:10] Noa**
Despite this, I take my hat off to you,
Aichi Sendou and Toshiki Kai.
**[04:19] Noa**
Your karma scattered the chaos
of Reverse all over the world.
**[04:26] Aichi**
Kai...
**[04:31] Kai (M)**
He's been persistently crushing
my rear-guards alone.
**[04:34] Kai (M)**
He's making it so I can't do a Counterblast,
**[04:37] Kai (M)**
while scoring damage off of Aichi's board...
**[04:41] Aichi (M)**
Whatever he's plotting,
there's only one thing we need to do!
**[04:47] Aichi**
I ride Blaster Blade Exceed!
**[04:52] Aichi**
Stride Generation!
**[04:59] Aichi**
Holy Divine Knight, Gancelot Peace Saver!
**[05:05] Onimaru**
Kazuma!
**[05:13] Onimaru**
I know you can hear me.
**[05:15] Onimaru**
It got through to me, too.
**[05:17] Onimaru**
I remember it from then...
**[05:21] Chris**
It looks like it'll take some time for the
virus-damaged areas to be fully restored.
**[05:26] Chris**
Right now let's focus our resources
on the Zeroth Dragon defense system.
**[05:30] Misaki**
Where are Aichi and Kai?
**[05:32] Chris**
I'm searching for them
with everything at our disposal, but...
**[05:36] Makoto**
Blast it! I swear we'll find them!
**[05:39] Arata**
Noa!
**[05:41] Kamui**
You two go to where they disappeared with Noa.
**[05:45] Kamui**
When it happened to Ibuki,
**[05:46] Kamui**
Chrono slipped in through a crack
in the spatial distortion and saved him.
**[05:51] Kamui**
I'm positive your voices will get through.
**[05:55] Kamui**
The real Noa is waiting there!
**[05:59] Arata**
We'll save them all!
**[06:01] Makoto**
Misaki, please take over here!
**[06:04] Misaki**
Leave it to me.
**[06:12] Aichi**
Whatever your plot is, we won't let it happen!
**[06:16] Kai**
And you're going to return Noa Hoshizaki!
**[06:19] Noa**
Listener of prayers, and the vanguard as
his strongest sworn ally huh...
**[06:26] Aichi**
Quadruple drive!
**[06:28] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[06:33] Noa**
No matter how many times
the darkness tries to squelch it,
**[06:37] Noa**
a light rises and sways
even the fate of the world!
**[06:44] Noa**
You two really are worthy.
**[06:50] Noa**
You'll be marvelous sacrifices
for the cause of leading Relics,
**[06:55] Noa**
the Citadel of Nothingness, to the world!
**[07:04] Makoto**
This is where they disappeared.
**[07:07] Arata**
Yeah. I sense it, too. Just up ahead...
**[07:12] The Two**
That's where Noa is!
**[07:17] Noa**
Gastille and Darkface created Relics,
the Prison of Souls.
**[07:22] Noa**
The souls trapped inside were worn away
by the power of nothingness
**[07:28] Noa**
and became vessels for Gyze,
**[07:31] Noa**
but the essence of Relics is a bond of nothingness
**[07:35] Noa**
driven in between the two worlds by Gyze's power.
**[07:40] Noa**
Even though the Prison of Souls
was destroyed, the subspace remained.
**[07:47] Noa**
It will swallow up souls that
shine bright with powerful imagination
**[07:51] Noa**
and be reborn as the Citadel of Nothingness.
**[07:54] Kai**
So that's the reason you brought us
to this space and challenged us to a fight?!
**[08:01] Noa**
I'm the last remaining Apostle.
**[08:04] Noa**
Some of the Zeroth Dragons were
stolen from us and locked up in a cage.
**[08:09] Noa**
But that's nothing.
**[08:12] Noa**
That body is already host
to the six Zeroth Dragons,
**[08:16] Noa**
and the awakening of the Dragon Deity of
Destruction, Gyze, is a foregone conclusion.
**[08:21] Noa**
Through Relics, the Citadel of Nothingness,
**[08:25] Noa**
that power will be spread all over the world.
**[08:29] Noa**
Rejoice!
**[08:31] Noa**
When you two lose, the world will meet its end!
**[08:40] Noa**
Death Star-vader, Chaos Universe Alththani!
**[08:46] Noa**
Stride skill!
**[08:50] Noa**
Lock!
**[08:55] Noa**
Alththani's skill!
**[08:57] Noa**
Lock two of your rear-guards, Toshiki Kai.
**[09:04] Noa**
If you can't do that, I get to draw two cards.
**[09:07] Noa**
Alththani gets +2000 power.
**[09:10] Noa**
And then I call!
**[09:13] Noa**
Skill activated!
**[09:15] Noa**
Lock!
**[09:17] Noa**
To be honest, whatever Gyze
has planned for the world,
**[09:21] Noa**
whether everything will be
destroyed or not, I couldn't care less.
**[09:28] Noa**
I just want to see you two writhing in despair
**[09:31] Noa**
after your futile attempt at preventing it!
**[09:35] Noa**
That's why I'm here!
**[09:41] Noa**
To me, you're excellent playthings!
**[09:46] Noa**
Even if you search for power,
fall into nothingness yourselves,
**[09:50] Noa**
cling to each other, dispel the darkness,
**[09:53] Noa**
and try to return to the path of light,
**[09:58] Noa**
I won't let you get away.
**[10:01] Aichi**
Perfect guard!
**[10:03] Noa**
The two of you have overcome everything.
**[10:07] Noa**
When that glorious hope changes to despair,
**[10:13] Noa**
the nothingness born of
that moment will resurrect Relics!
**[10:26] Aichi**
We've made many mistakes.
**[10:29] Aichi**
I don't deny that.
**[10:31] Kai**
After all this time,
I don't intend to ask for forgiveness.
**[10:34] Aichi**
But...
**[10:36] Aichi**
...it guided us.
**[10:38] Kai**
It's walked with us all this way.
**[10:41] The Two**
Our Vanguard!
**[10:44] Aichi**
You'll never sever our feelings for it again!
**[10:49] Noa**
That's right! No one will take away my feelings!
**[10:54] Noa**
After all, I met them!
**[10:59] Noa (M)**
They went that far...
**[11:04] Noa (M)**
They got that strong...
**[11:09] Noa (M)**
They searched for me!
**[11:12] Arata**
No matter what happens or whoever
stands in our way, we share the same fate!
**[11:19] Noa**
Arata! Makoto!
**[11:23] Arata**
Did you hear that?!
**[11:24] Makoto**
Yeah, from right over there!
**[11:28] The Two**
Noa!
**[11:31] Noa**
I'm here!
**[11:33] Noa**
Arata! Makoto!
**[11:38] Noa**
The Summer Triangle!
**[11:42] Noa**
Let's go home... together!
**[11:45] Makoto**
Yeah! Let's go home!
**[11:47] Arata**
We're coming to get you! Right now!
**[11:51] The Two**
Noa!
**[12:08] Noa**
Arata... Makoto!
**[12:30] Makoto**
Noa... is that really you?
**[12:33] Arata**
Noa!
**[12:35] Noa**
I heard you guys calling me.
**[12:40] Noa**
Thank you, Arata... Makoto...
**[12:46] Kai**
Well done.
**[12:51] The Two**
Noa!
**[12:57] Noa**
Arata! Makoto!
**[13:02] Noa**
You slipped out of my irons,
**[13:04] Noa**
only to grasp despair
with your own hands, Noa Hoshizaki?
**[13:10] Noa**
Then see it for yourself.
**[13:14] Noa**
The destruction of the world!
**[13:19] Kai**
You're the one who's gonna be destroyed!
**[13:20] Kai**
Chaos Breaker!
**[13:26] Kai**
Destiny's skill activated!
**[13:28] Kai**
I choose one circle
other than the Vanguard circle,
**[13:31] Kai**
and put it in the Drop Zone!
**[13:41] Aichi**
Kai!
**[13:44] Makoto**
Aichi's board opened up!
**[13:46] Kai**
Stride the Generation!
**[13:53] Kai**
Supreme Heavenly Emperor Dragon,
Dragonic Overlord "The Purge"!
**[14:00] Kai**
I understand fighting for someone's sake,
and fighting side by side with a friend...
**[14:07] Kai**
...because I saw nothingness with my own eyes!
**[14:10] Kai**
I do 1 damage to your Vanguard!
**[14:15] Kai**
I'm not alone!
**[14:18] Kai**
I attack your Vanguard!
**[14:21] Noa**
No guard.
**[14:23] Kai**
Triple drive!
**[14:24] Kai**
I got a critical trigger.
**[14:26] Kai**
I give the power to Glow Heater,
**[14:29] Kai**
and the extra critical to "The Purge"!
**[14:32] Arata**
A double critical!
**[14:34] Kai**
The moment you challenged us to a fight,
**[14:37] Kai**
the chances of your mad ambitions
coming true dwindled away!
**[14:42] Makoto**
8 damage!
**[14:44] Arata**
At this rate, you can take down
Chaos Breaker in one go! Kai!
**[14:47] Kai**
Glow Heater Dragon attacks your Vanguard!
**[14:53] Noa**
Guard! Intercept!
**[14:59] Noa**
The end.
**[15:01] Noa**
Or maybe the beginning...
**[15:07] Noa**
With the cost the same card as my Vanguard...
**[15:12] Noa**
...I put all of my future on the line...
**[15:15] Noa**
All hopes, the end of despair...
**[15:20] Noa**
...devour my future and manifest!
**[15:24] Noa**
Star Gate's Zeroth Dragon!
**[15:26] Noa**
Ultimate Stride!
**[15:34] Noa**
Zeroth Dragon of Destroy Star, Stark!
**[15:39] Noa**
Skill activated!
**[15:41] Noa**
Even if this unit has
already attacked, it doesn't rest,
**[15:44] Noa**
but during this turn,
it can attack up to three times!
**[15:49] Noa**
Sing to your heart's content!
**[15:52] Noa**
Of hope!
**[15:54] Noa**
The future!
**[15:57] Noa**
Dreams and love!
**[16:00] Kai**
Damage check!
**[16:01] Kai**
I got a critical trigger!
**[16:03] Kai**
My Vanguard gets +5000 power!
**[16:07] Noa**
I am the one who will mow them down!
**[16:11] Noa**
If everything in the world rejects destruction
**[16:14] Noa**
and searches for the future...
**[16:17] Noa**
...I'll shatter everything!
**[16:20] Noa**
I'll spread destruction!
**[16:22] Arata**
We won't let you!
**[16:25] Makoto**
We won't let you end the world!
**[16:27] Makoto**
Because the three of us are gonna
enter the next Under 20!
**[16:33] Kai**
Come and get me!
**[16:34] Arata**
Darn it! His Vanguard
still has two more attacks left!
**[16:39] Makoto**
The damage is 8 to 8...
**[16:41] Noa**
Dragon Deity of Destruction!
**[16:44] Noa**
Your longstanding desire will soon come true.
**[16:47] Noa**
Are you happy?
**[16:50] Noa**
Then someday I'll mow down that happiness, too!
**[16:55] Kai**
Perfect guard!
**[17:03] Noa**
Everything is my plaything.
**[17:06] Noa**
Everything will dance in the palm of
my hand, even while searching for hope!
**[17:21] Aichi**
Come from the future and protect us!
**[17:25] Aichi**
Generation Guard!
**[17:27] Aichi**
Little Sage, Marron!
**[17:30] Aichi**
Skill activated!
**[17:32] Aichi**
Superior call!
**[17:33] Aichi**
+5000 shield!
**[17:35] Kai**
On top of that, guard!
**[17:52] Arata**
They pulled through!
**[17:53] Makoto**
Yes! They blocked Zeroth Dragon's attack!
**[18:05] Aichi**
Stand and draw!
**[18:11] Aichi**
Stride Generation!
**[18:15] Aichi**
Divine Knight King, Alfred Holy Saver!
**[18:19] Aichi**
Call!
**[18:22] Aichi**
I retire Iron!
**[18:25] Aichi**
Alfred's skill!
**[18:28] Aichi**
Exceed gets +3000 power!
**[18:30] Aichi**
And a twin drive!
**[18:34] Aichi**
This is our Vanguard!
**[18:39] Noa**
Guard!
**[18:41] Aichi**
Twin drive!
**[18:51] Kai**
I got a critical trigger.
**[18:57] Aichi**
Critical trigger!
**[18:58] Aichi**
I give all of the effects to Exceed!
**[19:13] Noa**
I've always admired you.
**[19:18] Noa**
That hasn't changed, even now.
**[19:22] Noa**
In the vast reaches of space,
**[19:25] Noa**
you stick to what you like
with strength and confidence.
**[19:30] Noa**
One day I'm going to grasp it, too. You'll see.
**[19:40] Noa**
Damage check.
**[19:49] Noa**
No trigger.
**[19:56] Noa**
Goodbye...
**[19:57] The Two**
Noa!
**[20:00] Arata**
Thank goodness! Thank goodness, Noa!
**[20:01] Noa**
Arata! Makoto!
**[20:02] Makoto**
Yeah! You're safe and sound!
**[20:05] Noa**
Sorry I made you worry about me!
**[20:07] Chaos**
Truly wonderful.
**[20:11] Chaos**
Friendship and tears.
**[20:13] Chaos**
Victory and relief.
**[20:15] Chaos**
Confidence in grasping the future.
**[20:17] Chaos**
Hope!
**[20:18] Chaos**
I still have a means of crushing all of it!
**[20:23] Chaos**
How pleasurable it will be!
**[20:26] Aichi**
You lost, Chaos Breaker Dragon!
**[20:29] Kai**
Prattle on as you like.
**[20:31] Kai**
Now your diffride is broken and you're in astral form, so there's nothing you can do!
**[20:36] Chaos**
You guys really are adorable.
**[20:40] Chaos**
I've had enough of playing games in this subspace.
**[20:44] Chaos**
As a reward for entertaining me so much,
I'll kindly give you despair!
**[20:56] Chaos**
Take my soul and initiate Relics,
the Citadel of Nothingness!
**[21:03] Chaos**
Gyze, I'll give you a toy!
**[21:07] Chaos**
Play with it however you like!
**[21:11] Kai**
Don't!
**[21:12] Chaos**
Now my diffride is broken and I'm in astral form,
**[21:15] Chaos**
so there's nothing you can do to stop me!
**[21:20] Chaos**
Yes, that's the look!
**[21:22] Chaos**
To the very end,
you're all in the palm of my hand.
**[21:35] Kamui**
What is that?!
**[21:37] Chris**
Severe spatial distortions
are increasing all over the world!
**[21:41] Chris**
This behavior is... Relics!
**[21:44] Misaki**
Chris?!
**[21:46] Kamui**
B-Blackout?!
**[21:49] Misaki**
All of the systems have crashed!
**[21:51] Misaki**
Don't tell me it's still...
**[21:55] Employee**
Communications are down!
**[21:56] Chris**
Among the corrupted files is
something coupled to Relics's reboot!
**[22:00] Chris**
It's another virus that was hidden!
**[22:02] Employee**
I can confirm a massive structure in subspace!
**[22:06] Employee**
It's materializing in real space!
**[23:56] Chaos**
Listener of prayers, with your five senses,
**[23:58] Chaos**
you can perceive the power of fate
that connects the two worlds.
**[24:03] Chaos**
From here on, what will be reflected
in your eyes: hope or despair?
**[24:08] Aichi**
We're not going to give up!
**[24:09] Aichi**
I swear we'll protect this world!
**[24:11] Aichi**
In this world, and on the planet Cray too,
all of our comrades feel the same way!
**[24:16] Kai**
You don't have any power now!
**[24:18] Kai**
So get lost, Chaos Breaker!
