[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!

[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."
[23:40] ---
