**[01:46] Akari**
The water looks clear.
**[01:48] Toru**
We're gonna dive, Akari.
**[02:20] Toru**
I can't tell how far away the exit is.
**[02:26] Toru**
I am steel.
**[03:04] Akari**
This is...
**[03:06] Shin**
The end of the road for you.
**[03:11] Toru**
Brother Shin?
**[03:13] Toru**
Are you... Brother Shin?
**[03:16] Akari**
Why are you here?
**[03:18] Toru**
Are you in the tournament, too?
**[03:21] Toru**
Are you after the remains?
**[03:23] Shin**
I'm not like you.
**[03:24] Akari**
You're not working for Hartgen, are you?
**[03:47] Shin**
You still haven't gotten the idea?
**[03:50] Shin**
I told you... You're not
cut out to be a saboteur.
**[03:53] Toru**
That's for me to decide!
***SIGN*** Black Agenda
**[04:17] Chaika**
Toru! Akari!
**[04:23] Chaika**
I have report.
**[04:25] Toru**
What's up?
**[04:26] Chaika**
Niva fled. Unknown person took away.
**[04:30] Toru**
Guy? Why would he take her?
**[04:32] Chaika**
Details unknown. Niva, no fear.
**[04:36] Chaika**
What relationship with unknown person?
**[04:39] Akari**
When we met Guy at the
beach and he saw Niva,
**[04:43] Akari**
he said, "So it was you all who got her."
**[04:45] Toru**
He must have known that Niva was a weapon.
**[04:50] Toru**
I always thought he seemed shady...
**[04:53] Toru**
If Hartgen has the last remains,
we have no need for Guy.
**[04:58] Toru**
Chaika, don't talk to him anymore.
**[05:01] Chaika**
Right.
**[05:02] Chaika**
Find remains location?
**[05:04] Toru**
Sorry. We didn't find anything.
**[05:06] Chaika**
Explain situation.
**[05:09] Toru**
We ran into the worst enemy possible.
**[05:11] Akari**
It seems our mentor is working for Hartgen.
**[05:15] Chaika**
Shocking truth! Fight with mentor?
**[05:18] Akari**
You don't need to worry.
**[05:20] Akari**
It's not unusual for saboteurs to become
**[05:22] ---**
enemies in battle if they
have different employers.
**[05:26] Akari**
Brother and I have long
been prepared for that.
**[05:30] Akari**
Even if Brother were to become my enemy,
**[05:33] Akari**
I'm prepared to have him lick
my feet and beg for his life
**[05:37] Akari**
as I beat him, bind him,
and drip candle wax on him.
**[05:39] Toru**
That has nothing to do with
a saboteur's resolve.
**[05:42] Chaika**
Toru...
**[05:43] Toru**
Chaika, do you have enough magic fuel?
**[05:46] Chaika**
Yes. Have plenty.
**[05:48] Toru**
Good. It wouldn't be funny
if we ran out of ammo.
**[05:52] Toru**
And no using your memories in
place of magic fuel, okay?
**[05:56] Chaika**
No worry.
**[05:58] Toru**
From the looks of things,
no matter who wins the tournament,
**[06:01] Toru**
I don't think Hartgen intends
to give away the remains.
**[06:05] Toru**
Either way, Chaika and I will
enter the tournament as planned,
**[06:08] Toru**
rise in the ranks, and get
close to the remains.
**[06:11] Toru**
Akari, as soon as it starts,
**[06:13] ---**
you and Fredrica get into the
castle and search for the remains.
**[06:16] Toru**
If you find them, steal them.
**[06:18] Fredrica**
Isn't that just dragging things out?
**[06:20] Fredrica**
Toru, can't we just form a contract,
beat up the other fighters,
**[06:24] Fredrica**
then bust into the castle
and take the remains?
**[06:28] Toru**
No, we don't know the inside of the castle,
**[06:31] Toru**
and we don't know how our enemies are.
**[06:33] Toru**
It's dangerous to let you run wild.
**[06:34] Fredrica**
Aww. What a pain.
**[06:37] Toru**
The remains probably aren't
underground anymore.
**[06:40] Toru**
Search for them again while we have time.
**[06:41] Chaika**
Right.
**[06:46] Chaika**
Come, resounding perception.
**[06:49] Chaika**
The Locator!
**[06:52] Chaika**
Remains, likely, top of castle.
**[07:00] Arina**
This is the emperor's fortune?
**[07:02] Irina**
It's not what I imagined at all.
**[07:05] Guy**
I don't know what you two were imagining,
**[07:09] Guy**
but that is indeed what this is.
**[07:13] Hartgen**
She becomes a weapon?
**[07:14] Guy**
At the right time, and when
the conditions are met,
**[07:18] Guy**
it is indeed capable of plunging
the world into war again.
**[07:23] Hartgen**
Conditions...
**[07:25] ---**
Those should all come
together at this tournament.
**[07:29] Guy**
Then you have no need to worry.
**[07:31] Hartgen**
All because I've had your help.
**[07:34] Hartgen**
It has taken a long time...
**[07:37] Hartgen**
You have no idea how I've waited
for war to begin again.
**[07:43] Guy**
It is ironic, isn't it?
**[07:45] Guy**
The one who cut off Emperor Gaz's head
**[07:47] Guy**
and brought an end to 300 years of war
**[07:50] Guy**
was none other than you.
**[07:53] Hartgen**
Yes... I was foolish.
**[07:56] Hartgen**
Back then, I made a mistake
that could never be undone.
**[08:11] Hartgen**
Victory is ours!
**[08:29] Hartgen**
I shouldn't have ended the war.
**[08:32] Hartgen**
Battle is what gave purpose to our lives.
**[08:37] Hartgen**
Come, you two.
**[08:40] Hartgen**
I can't wait to see your true form.
**[08:51] Guard**
Listen to me!
**[08:53] Guard**
The match will soon begin.
**[08:55] Guard**
There are two battlefields
within the second castle wall,
**[08:58] Guard**
and another within the third.
**[09:01] Guard**
Only the victors in this battle
**[09:03] Guard**
will be permitted to enter the castle.
**[09:06] Guard**
You must defeat three opposing teams,
**[09:08] Guard**
and take their arm bands
as proof of your victory.
**[09:12] Guard**
Give the armbands you've collected
to the guard at the checkpoint.
**[09:16] Guard**
Those who rank highest may
proceed to the next phase.
**[09:20] Guard**
Devote all your strength to this battle!
**[09:29] Guard**
King Hartgen will now deliver an address.
**[09:37] Hartgen**
I know that all of the
warriors gathered here today
**[09:40] Hartgen**
have not forgotten their pride as warriors.
**[09:45] Hartgen**
What do you feel in this world
that has been immersed in
**[09:48] ---**
peace for five years since the war?
**[09:50] Hartgen**
Do you not feel aggrieved to live
in a world in which you cannot use
**[09:54] Hartgen**
the strength and techniques
you learned in battle?
**[09:58] Hartgen**
I will transform this tedious world!
**[10:02] Hartgen**
This continent needs an absolute ruler.
**[10:05] Hartgen**
I will take on that role,
**[10:07] Hartgen**
and create a world in which
warriors live as warriors!
**[10:13] Hartgen**
I will use my power to seize this continent!
**[10:17] Hartgen**
Warriors, those who sympathize with me,
**[10:20] Hartgen**
demonstrate your strength to your
hearts' content in this tournament!
**[10:25] Toru**
He wants war, too?
**[10:28] Hartgen**
Any who are weak, leave now!
**[10:30] Hartgen**
Any who can fight, show me your strength!
**[10:37] Black**
Such fools.
**[10:39] Black**
Well, no matter.
They are Father's playthings.
**[10:44] Black**
My wish is...
**[10:50] Arina**
Dear Sister.
**[10:51] Irina**
This is where you were?
**[10:52] Black**
Yes.
**[10:53] Arina**
Three this year...
**[10:55] Irina**
No, more accurately, two and a half.
**[10:58] Black**
Yes.
**[11:00] Black**
Tell the guards
**[11:02] Black**
to come up with some arbitrary
reason to bring the Chaikas to me.
**[11:06] Arina**
You're going to make them fight?
**[11:08] Irina**
How fun!
**[11:09] Black**
Aren't you curious to
see which is strongest?
**[11:15] Hartgen**
Begin!
**[11:22] Toru**
Let's go.
**[11:23] Chaika**
Right.
**[11:46] Chaika**
The Shield!
**[11:54] Toru**
Great job, Chaika.
**[11:55] Chaika**
Yes! Claudia's advice, useful!
**[11:58] Toru**
Yeah.
**[11:59] Nikolai**
Long time, no see.
**[12:02] Vivi**
I thought you'd be here.
**[12:03] Toru**
You're...
**[12:05] Chaika**
Silver hair... Purple eyes...
**[12:08] Vivi**
Don't say any more than that.
**[12:09] Vivi**
A lot has happened to us.
**[12:14] Toru**
Why are you guys here?
**[12:16] Vivi**
To capture all of you.
**[12:18] Nikolai**
We've infiltrated this castle
and are investigating.
**[12:21] Nikolai**
When we're done,
we'll capture you, so be ready.
**[12:24] Nikolai**
But what about you? Why are you fighting?
**[12:27] Chaika**
Goal, win tournament prize.
**[12:30] Nikolai**
You're not working with Hartgen?
**[12:33] Vivi**
You took the emperor's fortune from his lab
**[12:36] Vivi**
and brought it to Hartgen, didn't you?
**[12:38] Toru**
The emperor's fortune?
**[12:39] Vivi**
Don't play dumb!
**[12:41] Vivi**
We know the white Chaika took his
fortune, the Gundo, from that lab.
**[12:45] Toru**
Gundo?
**[12:47] Chaika**
Niva?
**[12:48] Toru**
She was the fortune?
**[12:50] Vivi**
As I suspected. So where is she?
**[12:53] Chaika**
Niva left with unknown person.
**[12:56] Vivi**
Who's this "unknown person"?
**[12:58] Toru**
Some shady bastard called Guy.
**[13:00] Vivi**
Did you say Guy?
**[13:02] Toru**
You know him?
**[13:04] Vivi**
He called me "Chaika."
**[13:06] Vivi**
He seemed to know about the Chaikas.
**[13:09] Chaika**
Unknown person brings me
information about remains.
**[13:13] Vivi**
What exactly is he?
**[13:15] Toru**
I'm not sure.
**[13:17] Toru**
He shows up out of nowhere and
then disappears, like a ghost.
**[13:22] Toru**
I figured he must be under someone's orders.
**[13:25] Nikolai**
Like who?
**[13:27] Toru**
He had opportunities to take Niva,
**[13:29] Toru**
but for some reason, the moment
we entered this castle,
**[13:32] Toru**
that's when he took her.
**[13:34] Toru**
So I suspect Guy is connected to Hartgen.
**[13:36] Nikolai**
Did you know that there are twin
black Chaikas with Hartgen?
**[13:42] Chaika**
Black Chaika exists?!
**[13:43] Vivi**
You didn't know?
**[13:45] Vivi**
Perhaps Hartgen is working with the
**[13:48] ---**
black Chaikas to gather
the remains, like you.
**[13:55] Nikolai**
Don't think you can get away from us!
**[13:58] Chaika**
Come, to strike and crush!
**[14:00] Chaika**
The Slugger!
**[14:10] Chaika**
Toru?
**[14:12] Toru**
Twin black Chaikas...
**[14:14] Toru**
What is he after?
**[14:20] Fredrica**
Hard to believe he's been
doing this for five years.
**[14:23] Akari**
What sort of man is Hartgen?
**[14:26] Fredrica**
I don't know.
**[14:28] Akari**
I heard he was the man who beheaded
the emperor and his daughter.
**[14:32] Fredrica**
I didn't see it, though.
**[14:34] Fredrica**
I suppose he must have
been a worthy fighter.
**[14:39] Akari**
Given that he holds martial
arts tournaments like this,
**[14:42] Akari**
Hartgen must be unhappy with
the fact that the war ended.
**[14:46] Fredrica**
Who knows?
**[14:52] Fredrica**
What about you, Akari?
**[14:54] Akari**
Well, I'm...
**[15:07] Prime**
Let us have the report from
the Kliemann Organization.
**[15:10] Konrad**
Yes, sir.
**[15:11] Konrad**
I'd like to have my aide,
**[15:13] ---**
Miss Bombardier, deliver our
report from the Gillette Squad.
**[15:18] Curren**
We've located Emperor Gaz's
secret lab on a remote island
**[15:21] ---**
in the waters off the port town of Waronti.
**[15:25] Curren**
There was a powerful Gundo there that
**[15:28] ---**
we assumed to be the emperor's fortune,
**[15:30] Curren**
but the white Chaika had already
taken it from the lab.
**[15:33] Denisov**
What?
**[15:34] Curren**
This is merely speculation,
**[15:36] Curren**
but we believe Chaika has fled
to the Principality of Hartgen.
**[15:41] Berman**
She's taking the Gundo to the
Principality of Hartgen?!
**[15:43] Blah**
We can't delay any longer!
**[15:45] Blah**
We must deal with this now!
**[15:47] Prime**
Chief Konrad.
**[15:49] Prime**
Did the King of Hartgen
accept your request to
**[15:52] ---**
cancel the martial arts tournament?
**[15:55] Konrad**
I believe the Gillette Squad will
report to us shortly regarding that.
**[16:00] Berman**
You're being too complacent.
**[16:02] Blah**
We should send an army immediately!
**[16:04] Ivanov**
My nation would rather not
send out any more soldiers.
**[16:08] Blah**
Then make them contribute
weapons or war funds!
**[16:11] Katkov**
Now, wait a moment. Are you set on war?
**[16:15] Katkov**
If you attack the Principality of Hartgen,
**[16:17] Katkov**
the adjoining nations will
suffer great losses.
**[16:21] Blah**
We need to think of the continent
as a whole right now!
**[16:25] Blah**
It's plain as day that we cannot
just set Hartgen aside!
**[16:28] Berman**
I agree.
**[16:30] Blah**
I've heard rumors that forty
to fifty thousand soldiers
**[16:32] ---**
have gathered in the Principality of Hartgen.
**[16:36] Fyodor**
No, I find it hard to believe that
he has expanded his army
**[16:40] ---**
that much in five years since the war.
**[16:42] Fyodor**
Regardless, we should avoid
**[16:45] ---**
recklessly starting a war
or shedding blood in vain.
**[16:49] Fyodor**
We should await the Kliemann
Organization's report
**[16:51] Fyodor**
and reach a decision under the
consensus of the entire allied army.
**[16:59] Berman**
Investigations by our spies have revealed
**[17:02] ---**
that the tournament has already begun.
**[17:05] Blah**
I see...
**[17:07] Blah**
The Kliemann Organization is too slow.
**[17:09] Berman**
That man, Fyodor, who took over General
Cizeta's position, is too cautious, as well.
**[17:16] Blah**
Can we afford to be so complacent?
**[17:19] Berman**
That's what I'd like to speak to you about.
**[17:22] Berman**
We will contribute wizards
and magic fuel to the cause.
**[17:27] Blah**
Are you asking my nation to send
our floating fortress Cima?
**[17:32] Berman**
Yes. I believe it is
necessary to prepare it.
**[17:37] Fyodor**
What is this?
**[17:39] Curren**
The report from the force
that subjugated Emperor Gaz,
**[17:41] Curren**
and a blueprint of a floating fortress
that we found in our library.
**[17:45] Curren**
However, it's over a hundred years old.
**[17:48] Fyodor**
A hundred years?
**[17:50] Fyodor**
I can't believe that even the Gaz Empire
**[17:52] Fyodor**
could have had such advanced
technology that long ago...
**[17:56] Curren**
Yes. But according to the
Gillette Squad's report,
**[18:01] Curren**
several structures resembling this were seen
**[18:03] ---**
near the Gaz Empire border
nearly a hundred years ago.
**[18:08] Curren**
The people who saw them called
them "overnight castles."
**[18:12] Fyodor**
It seems the magical technology of the
Gaz Empire exceeded our expectations...
**[18:18] Konrad**
General Fyodor,
**[18:20] Konrad**
many details on Chaika and Emperor
Gaz have remained obscure,
**[18:24] Konrad**
and they have been disparaged by
the Council of the Six Nations.
**[18:28] Konrad**
But my men have devoted their
sincerest efforts to this matter.
**[18:33] Konrad**
Chaika was involved in the Soara incident.
**[18:36] Konrad**
And now, if Chaika is making
her way to King Hartgen...
**[18:41] Fyodor**
I have met King Hartgen in the past.
**[18:46] Fyodor**
He gave me the impression
of an honest man...
**[18:49] Fyodor**
Enter.
**[18:51] Wizard**
Pardon me. We've received word
from the Gillette Squad.
**[18:58] Curren**
When Matheus and Zita requested the
**[19:00] ---**
return of the remains and
cancellation of the tournament,
**[19:02] Curren**
King Hartgen placed them in confinement.
**[19:05] Curren**
It also says the white Chaika and
red Chaika are in the tournament...
**[19:10] Curren**
And that there are two
girls with King Hartgen
**[19:12] Curren**
who are believed to be Chaikas.
**[19:16] Konrad**
There were already Chaikas there...
**[19:19] Fyodor**
Does this mean King Hartgen
also wishes for war?
**[19:30] Red**
What is next battle?
**[19:32] Guard**
This way.
**[19:34] David**
This tournament's surprisingly easy, huh?
**[19:38] Guard**
Go.
**[19:44] Red**
What you do?!
**[19:45] David**
What's the idea?!
**[19:46] Guard**
Your team violated the rules.
**[19:48] Red**
Violated rules?
**[19:50] Guard**
Your teammate was using probing magic in the
**[19:53] ---**
barracks to locate the emperor's remains.
**[19:56] David**
Selma...
**[19:57] Guard**
Keep walking forward.
**[19:59] Guard**
That's where your next fight will be.
**[20:01] Red**
Let out!
**[20:05] David**
We have no choice but to go forward.
**[20:11] Guard**
Your team may advance to
the next battlefield.
**[20:19] Guard**
To win here, you must defeat
two opposing teams.
**[20:24] Guard**
Those who win, in the same manner
as in the previous battle,
**[20:26] Guard**
are to take the arm bands from the losers.
**[20:29] Fredrica**
No one here has any backbone.
**[20:32] Akari**
It's not the tournament
participants we're up against.
**[20:35] Akari**
It's the guys inside the castle.
**[20:37] Fredrica**
Oh, yeah! The guy you and Toru called
your mentor is there, right?
**[20:41] Fredrica**
That'll be exciting.
**[20:51] Chaika**
Come, swirling vortex!
**[20:53] Chaika**
The Tornado!
**[21:00] Chaika**
Come, that which bursts
and scatters its mark!
**[21:03] Chaika**
The Burster!
**[21:11] Chaika**
Defeat, success!
**[21:16] Toru**
To a degree, I expected it,
**[21:18] Toru**
but if there are black Chaikas in the castle,
**[21:21] Toru**
they'll be trying to gather the remains, too.
**[21:24] Toru**
This isn't just a matter of stealing
remains from heroes anymore.
**[21:28] Chaika**
Yes.
**[21:29] Toru**
This means, even if we try to steal them,
**[21:31] Toru**
they might try to steal
the remains we have, too.
**[21:35] Toru**
And they've got Brother Shin,
which makes things tough for us.
**[21:38] Toru**
But I think we should strike first.
**[21:41] Toru**
Is that all right?
**[21:42] Chaika**
Of course. Must get remains.
**[21:45] Chaika**
Twin black Chaikas, curious.
**[21:47] Chaika**
But, want to overcome crisis with Toru.
**[21:51] Chaika**
I will finish! I must!
**[23:25] Chaika**
Martial arts tournament, finally starting!
**[23:27] Chaika**
Will participate, do my best!
**[23:30] Chaika**
But, feel eyes watching me, somewhere.
**[23:33] Chaika**
Who? What is goal?
**[23:36] Chaila**
Mystery deepens...
***SIGN*** The Bells of Contention
**[23:37] Chaika**
Next time: "The Bells of Contention."
