**[00:00] N**
Yggdra.
**[00:02] N**
During this continent's darkest hour,
**[00:05] N**
a nameless knight rose up
and gathered a volunteer army.
**[00:30] Black King**
Why do you not understand?
**[00:32] Black King**
Destruction is the fate
that awaits this world.
**[00:36] Black King**
Accept it.
**[00:41] Kain**
Captain!
**[00:42] Yuuri**
No.
**[00:44] Yuuri**
Regardless of what fate may hold,
that decision is not yours to make!
**[00:49] Yuuri**
It belongs to those of us
who live in this world!
**[00:55] Yuriana**
We're retaking the castle!
**[00:57] All**
Yes, ma'am!
**[00:57] Yuriana**
Charge!
**[01:02] Black King**
How futile.
**[01:03] Black King**
Resistance is useless.
**[01:07] Black King**
Accept your fate.
**[01:12] Yuuri**
I told you...
**[01:15] Yuuri**
I will never give up!
**[01:19] ---**
Ridiculous.
**[01:20] Phoena**
Yuri!
**[01:28] Eirenus**
Nothing but small-fry.
**[01:31] Einslot**
Eirenus!
**[01:33] Einslot**
I challenge you!
**[01:36] Eirenus**
This should be fun.
**[01:49] Einslot**
Burn!
**[01:58] Velner**
Bring on the destruction.
**[02:00] Clauss**
You sound like one of the bad guys.
**[02:02] Velner**
What?
**[02:13] Shuza**
Men, show them the might of the Ogre Tribes!
**[02:22] Black King**
What can you possibly do with so little mana?
**[02:25] Yuuri**
We will seize...
**[02:30] Yuuri**
our light!
**[02:40] Yuriana**
Look!
**[02:41] Aries**
Did they do it?
**[02:43] Burckhardt**
Let's hurry.
**[03:08] Black King**
Phoena, give me the Chain Chronicle
and the sprite.
**[03:12] Black King**
Come, let us end the world.
**[03:15] Phoena**
No, Father.
**[03:23] Pirika**
How dare you?!
**[03:27] Black King**
Sprite, fragment of this world's will.
**[03:31] Black King**
If you are a symbol of hope and light...
**[03:36] Phoena**
Pirika...
**[03:37] Black King**
Then you must die.
**[03:41] Black King**
It ends here.
**[03:45] Yuriana**
The only thing that ends here
is you, Black King.
**[03:48] Marina**
Juliana!
**[03:50] Black King**
The Holy Princess!
**[03:52] Yuriana**
I will not allow the death of my father,
the Holy King,
**[03:54] Yuriana**
and of our many comrades
to have been in vain!
**[03:58] Black King**
Pests.
**[04:03] Black King**
Just stay there and watch.
**[04:06] Black King**
This will all be over soon.
**[04:15] Yuuri**
I'm not done yet!
**[04:25] Black King**
Phoena...
**[04:27] Phoena**
No.
**[04:30] Phoena**
No...
**[04:31] Black King**
Phoena!
**[04:33] Phoena**
No!
**[05:01] Phoena**
Pirika...
**[05:03] Yuriana**
Pirika's...
**[05:05] Kain**
...gone.
**[05:13] Black King**
Behold! The Black Element increases!
**[05:16] Black King**
Magnificent!
**[05:21] Burckhardt**
Oh, no!
**[05:22] Yuriana**
Retreat!
**[05:23] A**
Understood!
**[05:25] Michidia**
Phoena!
**[05:26] Michidia**
Come.
**[05:27] Kain**
Captain!
**[05:31] Black King**
All shall be stained black.
**[05:34] Black King**
Soon, the continent of Yggdra
will be engulfed in darkness.
**[05:51] Shuza**
Don't tell me the kid... lost?
**[06:11] Phoena**
Pirika...
**[06:13] Phoena**
She vanished.
**[06:15] Yuriana**
The will of the world has been lost...
***SIGN*** Light and Darkness
**[08:28] Marina**
Phoena.
**[08:29] Marina**
Let me take over.
**[08:31] Marina**
You won't last if you keep this up.
**[08:35] Phoena**
It's okay. I'll be fine.
**[08:43] Yuriana**
The attack on the Black King has failed.
**[08:46] Yuriana**
Having failed its purpose,
the Yggdra Alliance, which we were part of,
**[08:52] Yuriana**
has been disbanded,
as was originally agreed upon.
**[08:55] Yuriana**
We shall all be returning to
our respective countries.
**[08:59] Wayne**
That Black King was far more powerful
than we had anticipated.
**[09:03] Yuriana**
Given Yuri's state, it'll take some time
before we can regroup.
**[09:08] Burckhardt**
Your Highness, I believe this operation
was reckless to begin with.
**[09:13] Wayne**
How dare you?!
**[09:14] Burckhardt**
With all due respect,
defeating the Black King
**[09:17] Burckhardt**
was too much for a mere
Volunteer Army member like Yuri.
**[09:21] Wayne**
Silence, Burckhardt.
**[09:24] Yuriana**
You're right.
**[09:27] Yuriana**
I understand how you feel.
**[09:30] Yuriana**
But we staked everything on Yuri
and the Volunteer Army.
**[09:33] Yuriana**
It was they that unified this
troubled continent with their passion.
**[09:39] Yuriana**
That's why everyone entrusted them
with their hopes for the future.
**[09:42] Burckhardt**
Alas, a leader requires skill
and knowledge of strategy.
**[09:48] Wayne**
The Black Army can't be defeated
by skill and strategy alone.
**[09:52] Burckhardt**
If that's the case...
**[09:53] Burckhardt**
All the more reason why
Her Highness Juliana should have led us.
**[09:59] Yuriana**
I could not assume that responsibility
**[10:02] Yuriana**
when all I cared about
was avenging my father.
**[10:06] Shuza**
It was none other than Yuri
who freed me from that obsession.
**[10:20] ---**
There's no point in staying here any longer.
**[10:22] ---**
Let's move out.
**[10:24] Yoshitsugu**
What are we to do now, Leader?
**[10:34] Einslot**
Wayne, I will return to the Holy Capital
with the Holy Knights.
**[10:39] Einslot**
Does Her Highness insist on
remaining with the Volunteer Army?
**[10:44] Wayne**
Yes.
**[10:45] Einslot**
I see.
**[10:46] Einslot**
Under normal circumstances, I would
prefer to leave her with an escort, but...
**[10:50] Wayne**
Given our current situation,
I doubt we'll have any men to spare.
**[10:54] Wayne**
Are you worried that Aries, Burckhardt
and I will be insufficient?
**[10:58] Einslot**
I realize I'm asking a lot of you.
**[11:00] Wayne**
You always have.
**[11:05] Einslot**
You're right.
**[11:07] Einslot**
Take care of Her Highness.
**[11:10] Wayne**
Yes, Commander.
**[11:22] Kain**
Phoena?
**[11:27] Yuriana**
Yuri...
**[11:34] Yuriana**
Thank goodness.
**[11:37] Yuriana**
You were unconscious for so long.
**[11:40] Yuriana**
We managed to escape this far,
but have no idea what to do next...
**[11:49] Yuuri**
Thanks.
**[11:55] Yuuri**
I'm sorry.
**[11:57] Yuuri**
The Chain Chronicle, Pirika...
**[12:04] Yuuri**
I couldn't...
**[12:08] Phoena**
It's okay.
**[12:09] Phoena**
For now, I'm just glad you're alive.
**[12:16] Phoena**
I'm going to go tell the others.
**[12:28] Yuriana**
Are you really feeling better?
**[12:31] Yuriana**
Shouldn't you rest a little longer?
**[12:33] Kain**
If you push yourself,
it'll come back to bite you.
**[12:36] Yuuri**
Yeah, I know.
**[12:38] Yuriana**
So, what will you do now?
**[12:41] Yuuri**
I think I'll head back to the Vice Capital.
**[12:43] ---**
So, you intend to gather
our forces again, and...
**[12:46] ---**
No.
**[12:48] ---**
For now, my only plan is to return
and report our losses to Gilbert.
**[12:54] Yuuri**
The Guild suffered many casualties
in this operation, too.
**[12:59] Yuriana**
I see.
**[13:15] Black King**
*All shall be stained black.*
**[13:19] Black King**
*All shall be stained black.*
**[13:23] (Flashback) Black King**
All shall be stained black.
**[13:31] A**
No way.
**[13:32] A**
Those few coppers won't buy you nuthin'.
**[13:34] B**
Please, just one apple...
**[13:37] C**
Move it!
**[13:40] C**
Hey, gimme that whole basket.
**[13:43] A**
The whole basket? Gladly!
**[13:44] C**
Two gold should cover it.
**[13:47] A**
Of course!
**[13:50] C**
Here you go.
**[13:52] A**
One, two...
**[13:54] A**
Two gold coins.
**[13:56] C**
Don't you think prices
are getting a little high recently?
**[13:59] C**
Must be tough to get by if you're poor.
**[14:04] Allam**
Hey, fatso.
**[14:06] Allam**
Move your foot.
**[14:09] Allam**
I'm telling you to move your filthy foot!
**[14:26] Allam**
Here.
**[14:30] B**
Thank you.
**[14:35] C**
Hey, kid.
**[14:38] C**
What the hell was that for?
**[14:48] ---**
Why, you...
**[14:55] C**
Ow...
**[14:57] C**
Damn kid!
**[15:01] C**
I'll teach you to make a fool outta me!
**[15:05] Allam**
I'm taking this.
**[15:07] A**
Hey!
**[15:08] A**
Hey, you!
**[15:10] A**
Kid!
**[15:12] A**
You punk!
**[15:15] A**
Thief!
**[15:17] A**
You villain!
**[15:20] Allam**
Who's the villain here?
**[15:22] Allam**
I'm not the one picking on the weak.
**[15:26] Allam**
Dummy! Doofus! Bozo!
**[15:30] Allam**
See ya!
**[15:31] A**
Dammit!
**[15:39] Allam**
Hey!
**[15:44] B**
Oh, you're...
**[15:58] B**
Are you sure it's okay?
**[16:00] Allam**
Yeah, one's enough for me.
**[16:03] B**
But what about for your family?
**[16:06] Allam**
Don't have none.
**[16:09] B**
I see.
**[16:12] B**
I know. I think I'll treat you to a meal.
**[16:18] Allam**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:21] A**
How dare you run home
with your tails between your legs!
**[17:24] A**
What are you going to do about our land?!
**[17:27] B**
H-Hey...
**[17:28] Kain**
Wait, we're...
**[17:30] A**
You said you'd defeat the Black King!
**[17:34] A**
That you'd protect us!
**[17:36] A**
Now look at us!
**[17:39] A**
Look!
**[17:43] A**
What are we to do now?!
**[17:50] A**
What are we to do?
**[18:05] A**
Hey!
**[18:08] A**
Help us!
**[18:11] Wayne**
What's wrong?
**[18:12] A**
It's them.
**[18:13] ---**
It's the Black Army.
**[18:15] A**
Hurry, before the Black Fog...
**[18:22] (Flashback) Black King**
All shall be stained black.
**[18:27] Yuriana**
Let's hurry.
**[18:28] Burckhardt**
As you wish.
**[18:31] Kain**
Captain, let's go.
**[18:33] Kain**
Michidia!
**[18:56] Allam**
Get outta here, grandma!
**[18:57] B**
But...
**[18:58] Allam**
I'll be fine.
**[18:59] Allam**
Go!
**[19:26] Kain**
Our mana is weak.
**[19:28] Yuriana**
Is it because of this fog?
**[19:41] Black King**
*All shall be stained black.*
**[19:46] Black King**
* Destruction is the fate*
* that awaits this world.*
**[19:50] Black King**
*Accept it.*
**[19:59] Black King**
*Accept your fate.*
**[20:04] Allam**
Not yet.
**[20:07] Allam**
I'm not done yet!
**[20:20] Yuriana**
Let's finish this!
**[20:21] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[20:25] Allam**
Dammit, just a little more.
**[20:33] Burckhardt**
What the?
**[20:36] Burckhardt**
He took my mana?
**[21:22] Yuuri**
Seize the light!
**[21:52] Allam**
You're Yuri of the Volunteer Army.
**[22:05] Yuuri**
And you are?
**[22:09] Allam**
I'm Aram.
***SIGN*** To Be With Others

Fate is set in motion.

**[00:00] ---**
The Black Army is a force of darkness
that showed up without warning.
**[00:05] ---**
Led by the Black King,
it seeks to destroy the world.
**[00:15] Allam**
You're Yuri of the Volunteer Army.
**[00:28] Yuuri**
And you are?
**[00:32] Allam**
I'm Aram.
**[00:44] Yuuri**
Aram!
**[00:45] Yuuri**
Is he dead?
**[00:47] Michidia**
No way.
**[00:48] Kain**
Marina, healing magic!
**[00:50] Marina**
Right away.
**[00:52] Yuuri**
It's all right.
**[00:54] Yuuri**
He's just unconscious.
**[00:57] Kain**
Man, don't scare me like that.
**[00:59] Michidia**
Who is this kid?
***SIGN*** To Be With Others
**[03:06] Eirenus**
So, they're headed for the Vice Capital.
**[03:25] Allam**
Where am I?
**[03:30] Yuuri**
You're awake.
**[03:32] Allam**
What happened to the old lady and the rest?
**[03:34] Yuuri**
They're all safe.
**[03:35] Allam**
That's a relief.
**[03:36] Yuuri**
The villagers said to thank you.
**[03:40] Allam**
It was nothing.
**[03:43] Allam**
You're Yuri, aren't you?
**[03:46] Yuuri**
You've heard of me?
**[03:54] Allam**
I heard you're the captain
of the Volunteer Army.
**[03:59] Phoena**
Oh, you're awake?
**[04:02] Phoena**
Thank goodness you're okay.
**[04:05] Phoena**
Oh, I'm Phoena.
**[04:08] Phoena**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:10] Allam**
Sure.
**[04:11] Phoena**
Let's go eat.
**[04:13] Phoena**
Kain and the others
will be back from patrol soon.
**[04:17] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[04:21] Phoena**
Here you go.
**[04:21] Wayne**
Thanks.
**[04:22] Michidia**
Here.
**[04:23] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[04:27] Phoena**
Here.
**[04:28] Aries**
Thanks.
**[04:29] Kain**
Time to eat.
**[04:35] Michidia**
What is it, Kain?
**[04:38] Kain**
Ah... Is this...
**[04:41] Marina**
Don't tell me...
**[04:43] Michidia**
Phoena's cooking, isn't she?
**[04:45] Phoena**
Eat up, everyone.
**[04:53] Allam**
Seconds, please.
**[04:56] Phoena**
Coming right up.
**[04:58] Kain**
How can you eat Phoena's cooking?
**[05:01] Allam**
What do you mean? It's great.
**[05:03] Kain**
What do you usually eat?
**[05:06] Allam**
Lizards.
**[05:09] Phoena**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[05:11] Phoena**
Here you are.
**[05:11] Phoena**
There's plenty more where that came from.
**[05:16] Allam**
S-Sure.
**[05:18] Yuuri**
Aram, you aren't from
that village, are you?
**[05:22] Allam**
No, I was just passing by.
**[05:24] Yuriana**
You were trying to protect the village
all by yourself?
**[05:28] Allam**
I couldn't just let it be destroyed.
**[05:30] Allam**
Besides, I can't stand those black things.
**[05:33] Phoena**
You're pretty strong.
**[05:35] Allam**
Y-Yeah.
**[05:38] Allam**
But...
**[05:39] Allam**
But I'm not good enough.
**[05:41] Allam**
I want to get a lot stronger.
**[05:47] Marina**
Phoena! The Chronicle!
**[06:01] Wayne**
Your Highness!
**[06:02] Michidia**
Phoena!
**[06:06] Allam**
What's happening?
**[06:13] Allam**
Look out!
**[06:16] Kain**
Aram!
**[06:18] Kain**
Are you all right?
**[06:19] Allam**
Yeah.
**[06:32] Yuuri**
Phoena.
**[06:33] Yuuri**
Phoena!
**[06:35] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[06:41] Yuuri**
Looks like it's settled down.
**[06:52] Allam**
Hey, what is that?
**[06:55] Phoena**
The Chain Chronicle.
**[06:58] Phoena**
A chronology of everything about the world.
**[07:03] Phoena**
If the world is stained black,
so will the Chronicle.
**[07:06] Phoena**
And vice versa.
**[07:09] Allam**
That can't be...
**[07:12] Phoena**
More pages have been stained black.
**[07:22] Black King**
The darkness spreads further.
**[07:29] Black King**
Have you still not located the sprite?
**[07:33] Eirenus**
Was it not killed in the last battle?
**[07:38] Black King**
The world has yet to fall into ruin.
**[07:41] Phoena**
Then...
**[07:42] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[07:43] Yuuri**
Pirika is still alive somewhere.
**[07:46] Allam**
Pirika?
**[07:47] Yuriana**
One of our friends. A sprite.
**[07:49] Yuriana**
Tiny and cute.
**[07:51] Yuriana**
Pirika has a foul mouth at times,
but is very important to this world.
**[07:56] Phoena**
Pirika is the will of the world,
a world with hope for the future.
**[08:00] Yuuri**
We have to find and save it.
**[08:05] Black King**
Find her and dispose of it.
**[08:08] Black King**
So long as that sprite exists,
the world cannot be destroyed.
**[08:27] Allam**
What's up?
**[08:28] Yuuri**
Can we talk?
**[08:31] Yuuri**
Aram, why do you want to become stronger?
**[08:35] Allam**
Why?
**[08:37] Allam**
Because you can't do anything
if you're weak, obviously.
**[08:41] Yuuri**
I see.
**[08:44] Yuuri**
Aram, why don't you join us?
**[08:52] Allam**
No, I'm not gonna join the Volunteer Army.
**[08:55] Allam**
I'd rather be my own man. Free.
**[08:57] Yuuri**
There's only so much you can do by yourself.
**[09:00] Allam**
That's not true.
**[09:01] Allam**
I've fought alone my entire life.
**[09:04] Yuuri**
But it's not as if you've never lost, is it?
**[09:07] Yuuri**
There must have been times
when you had to run from your opponent.
**[09:11] Allam**
Well...
**[09:12] Allam**
I'll be able to beat them someday.
**[09:15] Yuuri**
What if you were just lucky?
**[09:19] Allam**
What would you know?
**[09:21] Allam**
You lost even with your buddies.
**[09:24] Yuuri**
That's exactly why I'm asking.
**[09:26] Yuuri**
Aram, hear me out...
**[09:38] Aries**
The highway ahead seems to have
escaped the blackening earlier.
**[09:42] Yuriana**
Thank goodness.
**[09:44] Yuriana**
We'll depart at dawn.
**[09:46] Yuriana**
For the Vice Capital.
**[09:57] Michidia**
That's...
**[10:00] Yuriana**
Hurry!
**[10:15] Silva**
Don't let a single one of them through!
**[10:26] Teresa**
This is too easy.
**[10:38] Dusty**
I stock only the best weapons.
**[11:03] Silva**
Dammit.
**[11:15] Silva**
Yuri!
**[11:16] Silva**
Yuri!
**[11:17] Silva**
It's good to see you.
**[11:19] Silva**
You, too, Princess.
**[11:20] Yuuri**
Sorry to worry you.
**[11:22] Yuriana**
Status?
**[11:23] Silva**
The southern bridge has fallen.
**[11:24] Silva**
The outer wall is, well,
you can see for yourself.
**[11:28] Silva**
Aludra's defending the castle walls
by the slums, but...
**[11:45] Silva**
New recruit? Kid's got spirit.
**[11:48] Yuuri**
Yes.
**[12:00] Yuuri**
We'll handle things here.
**[12:02] Silva**
Got it. I'm counting on you.
**[12:04] Silva**
All right! We're going to go help Aludra out!
**[12:14] Kain**
There are so many of them.
**[12:16] Kain**
What do we do, Captain?
**[12:17] Yuuri**
What else?
**[12:18] Yuuri**
We take 'em down!
**[12:19] Kain**
You got it!
**[12:20] Yuriana**
Let's finish this!
**[12:22] ---**
Yes, ma'am!
**[12:27] Allam**
Don't forget me!
**[12:34] Allam**
More of them?
**[12:51] Allam**
Piece of cake.
**[12:53] Burkchardt**
You...
**[12:55] Burkchardt**
You took my mana again!
**[12:56] Allam**
Wh-What?
**[13:01] Wayne**
Burckhardt!
**[13:04] Burkchardt**
We'll discuss this later.
**[13:05] Allam**
Ow...
**[13:06] Allam**
Man, what's his problem?
**[13:09] Yuuri**
Let's do this!
**[13:39] Yuuri**
Seize the light!
**[13:53] Allam**
W-Wow.
**[13:57] Kain**
We did it.
**[13:58] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[13:59] Allam**
Hey!
**[14:01] Allam**
That was amazing!
**[14:03] Kain**
I-I guess.
**[14:04] Kain**
That was our chain attack.
**[14:07] Kain**
Chaining attacks makes them more powerful.
**[14:10] Michidia**
And to do that,
we need all our mana to resonate.
**[14:13] Allam**
I want to try.
**[14:16] Kain**
I think it might be a bit soon for you.
**[14:18] Allam**
Why?
**[14:19] Allam**
I can practice.
**[14:20] Yuuri**
Aram, it isn't that easy.
**[14:24] Yuuri**
You need strong bonds
with your allies to pull it off.
**[14:29] Allam**
Bonds?
**[14:30] Burkchardt**
You're wasting your time.
**[14:32] Allam**
What?!
**[14:33] Burkchardt**
You understand nothing of battle.
**[14:36] Burkchardt**
You just fight mindlessly,
thinking of no-one but yourself.
**[14:40] Allam**
What? I have my own way of fighting—
**[14:43] Burkchardt**
And I'm telling you it's all wrong.
**[14:45] Burkchardt**
What exactly are you, anyway?
**[14:47] Burkchardt**
I don't know how you did it,
but you stole my mana.
**[14:51] Allam**
S-So what?
**[14:53] Burkchardt**
Humans shouldn't be capable of
meddling with others' mana.
**[14:57] Burkchardt**
There's too much about you we don't know.
**[14:59] Allam**
Shut up!
**[15:00] Allam**
You're just jealous that you can't do it!
**[15:03] Burkchardt**
This is getting nowhere.
**[15:04] Burkchardt**
It's clearly a waste of time trying to
explain things to a feral brat like you.
**[15:09] Allam**
I'm not here because I want to be!
**[15:11] Allam**
If you don't want me around, I'll just leave.
**[15:13] Allam**
I'll become stronger my own way!
**[15:16] Yuuri**
Aram!
**[15:17] Burkchardt**
Let him go.
**[15:19] Burkchardt**
Don't be so undisciplined as to
allow that fool to have his way.
**[15:23] Burkchardt**
Why do you not realize that
being so soft only makes you weak?
**[15:27] Yuuri**
Aram has potential.
**[15:30] Burkchardt**
Do you honestly believe that?
**[15:33] Yuuri**
That's why I brought him all the way here.
**[15:37] Yuuri**
He'll make a good soldier.
**[15:44] Wayne**
Looks like the boss has appeared.
**[15:55] Allam**
Dammit.
**[15:58] Kain**
Not this fog again!
**[16:00] Michidia**
Let's go again.
**[16:01] Marina**
The fog just gets thicker.
**[16:03] Marina**
I can't...
**[16:08] Kain**
Captain!
**[16:11] Yuuri**
D-Don't worry. I'm fine.
**[16:14] Burkchardt**
Protect Her Highness!
**[16:24] Yuuri**
*Aram, hear me out.*
**[16:27] (Flashback) Yuuri**
When I lost to the Black King,
I also lost faith in myself.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But seeing you fight
so desperately in that village
**[16:36] (Flashback) Yuuri**
reminded me of something important.
**[16:40] (Flashback) Yuuri**
I had sworn I would never give up,
no matter what.
**[16:46] (Flashback) Allam**
Wh-What's any of this got to do with me?
**[16:49] (Flashback) Yuuri**
When I came to, my friends were at my side.
**[16:54] (Flashback) Yuuri**
They'd supported me.
They never gave up on me.
**[16:58] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Some obstacles can't be overcome alone.
They require a little help from your friends.
**[17:03] (Flashback) Yuuri**
That is the power of bonds.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Aram, you are indeed strong.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Yuuri**
You're better at using mana than anyone else.
**[17:14] (Flashback) Yuuri**
But, with bonds of friendship,
you can become even stronger.
**[17:21] (Flashback) Yuuri**
Let us fight together.
**[17:30] Allam**
You idiot.
**[17:35] Marina**
We can't hold out any longer.
**[17:37] Michidia**
We have to!
**[17:41] Yuriana**
Wayne!
**[17:42] Wayne**
Stay back, Your Highness.
**[17:44] Yuriana**
I can fight.
**[17:48] Burkchardt**
Your Highness!
**[18:01] Burkchardt**
Your Highness...
**[18:04] Kain**
Burckhardt!
**[18:17] Phoena**
Aram!
**[18:35] Kain**
Y-You've gotta be kidding me.
**[18:39] Michidia**
Amazing.
**[18:45] Allam**
Hey, take this!
**[19:00] Allam**
We're even now.
**[19:03] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!
**[19:05] Yuriana**
Let's end this.
**[19:07] ---**
As you wish!
**[19:24] Burkchardt**
Know your place!
**[19:48] Allam**
Whoa. He's pretty good.
**[19:52] Kain**
Look at you. Coming back to steal the show.
**[19:55] Yuuri**
Aram.
**[19:59] Allam**
I figured I might as well
stick around a bit longer.
**[20:04] Allam**
I want to see more of
your techniques in action.
**[20:07] Allam**
Besides...
**[20:09] Allam**
I want to make him eat his words.
**[20:15] Yuuri**
That's fine.
**[20:24] Yuuri**
Everyone, there's something I need to say.
**[20:27] Yuuri**
I lost to the Black King once.
**[20:31] Yuuri**
He said that destruction is
the fate that awaits this world.
**[20:37] Yuuri**
But, even if that's true,
I don't want to give up.
**[20:41] Yuuri**
As long as we live, there's hope.
**[20:45] Yuuri**
So I'd like to form
a Black King Suppression Squad,
**[20:52] Yuuri**
once more.
**[20:54] Yuriana**
A Black King Suppression Squad?
**[20:55] Yuriana**
That won't be enough.
**[20:57] Yuriana**
We'll gather troops from
every corner of the land
**[21:00] Yuriana**
and form a Black King Suppression *Army*.
**[21:04] Kain**
Yuri's back to his old self.
**[21:06] Kain**
That's my captain.
**[21:08] Michidia**
Someone thinks pretty highly of himself.
**[21:12] Phoena**
Yuri, I'm so glad.
**[21:17] Yuuri**
Aram.
**[21:22] Allam**
All right, fine.
**[21:29] Yuuri**
Aram, your arm.
**[21:44] Yuriana**
You should give him a chance.
**[21:45] Yuriana**
He returned your mana, after all.
**[21:49] Burkchardt**
Excuse me.
**[21:53] Yuriana**
Sheesh.
**[22:07] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!
**[22:09] Yuriana**
Burckhardt!

**[00:06] Yuriana**
Thank goodness the injury wasn't serious.
**[00:10] Burckhardt**
My apologies.
**[00:11] Burckhardt**
What was it that you wanted
to talk to me about?
**[00:15] Yuriana**
Burckhardt, I want you to go with Yuri.
**[00:21] Burckhardt**
You want me to accompany them?
**[00:23] Yuriana**
Yes.
**[00:24] Burckhardt**
But weren't we to return to
the Holy Capital and regroup?
**[00:28] Yuriana**
That's the plan.
**[00:30] Burckhardt**
Then I shall—
**[00:31] Yuriana**
Listen.
**[00:33] Yuriana**
I want you to assist Yuri's group
in my stead.
**[00:38] Burckhardt**
But I'm your—
**[00:40] Yuriana**
You will surely prove to be
invaluable to their cause.
**[00:46] Burckhardt**
If you insist.
**[00:49] Yuriana**
Also, about Aram...
**[00:53] Yuriana**
I too think that he will make a fine soldier.
**[00:56] Yuriana**
However, he lacks experience.
**[00:59] Yuriana**
I want you to instruct him.
**[01:06] Burckhardt**
Understood.
**[01:09] Selene**
Your Highness.
***SIGN*** Guild Alliance Sub-Leader
Selene
**[01:12] Selene**
Our leader, Gilbert, wishes to see you.
**[01:14] Yuriana**
I'm on my way.
**[01:17] Yuriana**
Thank you.
**[01:21] Burckhardt**
Is she saying I can't protect her
with this injury?
**[03:16] Gilbert**
I see. The Capital fell?
**[03:20] Yuuri**
We lost a lot of people.
**[03:26] Phoena**
Mr. Gilbert, I'm told you've had trouble
at the Vice Capital, too.
**[03:31] Gilbert**
It's nothing compared to
what you deal with on the front lines.
***SIGN*** Guild Alliance Leader
Gilbert
**[03:35] Gilbert**
So why have you decided to form
a Black King Suppression Army?
**[03:39] Yuuri**
Well...
**[03:42] Yuuri**
I believe there may still be hope.
**[03:48] Yuuri**
Even if this land is doomed,
**[03:53] Yuuri**
I don't want to give up until the very end.
**[03:57] Gilbert**
That sounds like something you'd say.
**[04:07] Gilbert**
So you're headed to the Sage's Tower, then?
**[04:11] Yuuri**
Yes.
**[04:12] .**
First, we'll meet with the three sages.
**[04:14] Phoena**
We hope they'll have some leads
as to Pirika's whereabouts.
**[04:18] Gilbert**
Understood.
**[04:20] Gilbert**
I'll do what I can to help.
**[04:23] Gilbert**
But...
**[04:25] Gilbert**
With things the way they are here,
**[04:28] Gilbert**
I'm afraid that that may not amount to much.
**[04:34] Selene**
I've brought Her Highness Juliana.
**[04:36] Gilbert**
Perfect timing.
**[04:39] Gilbert**
Here.
**[04:41] Yuuri**
New communicators?
**[04:43] Gilbert**
Yes.
**[04:44] Gilbert**
Let us know if anything happens.
**[04:47] Gilbert**
We'll do our best to get
everything in order on this end.
**[04:50] Yuriana**
Thank you, Mr. Gilbert.
**[05:18] A**
Shut yer trap, damn it!
**[05:23] Dusty**
Hey now, is that really a good idea?
**[05:25] Dusty**
Do you really want to do that
in front of the Great Arms Dealer Dusty?
**[05:30] Dusty**
Either you have a death wish
or you're just an—
**[05:32] Allam**
Idiot!
**[05:41] A**
Damn brat!
**[05:44] Allam**
Are you all right?
**[05:45] B**
Yes.
**[05:48] A**
You little...
**[05:52] A**
Damn it!
**[05:59] Dusty**
Wow.
**[06:02] A**
Why you...
**[06:07] A**
Don't mess with me, kid!
**[06:10] Allam**
Don't move, mister.
**[06:19] Dusty**
That was impressive.
**[06:21] Allam**
Who're you?
**[06:23] Dusty**
I'm Dusty.
**[06:25] Dusty**
I'm with the Merchant Guild.
I supply arms to the Volunteer Army.
**[06:29] Allam**
That outfit...
**[06:30] Allam**
You aren't a soldier?
**[06:33] Dusty**
Merchant-cum-soldier.
**[06:35] Dusty**
That sword...
**[06:38] Dusty**
It's the best one I have in stock.
You've got a good eye.
**[06:43] Allam**
Sorry.
**[06:44] Allam**
I was just borrowing it.
**[06:45] Allam**
Here, you can have it back.
**[06:47] Dusty**
Say, kid...
**[06:48] Allam**
I ain't a kid!
**[06:49] Allam**
I'm Aram!
**[06:51] Dusty**
My bad.
**[06:52] Dusty**
All right, Aram, do you know
what sort of sword that is?
**[06:56] Allam**
Not really.
**[06:57] Dusty**
It was forged by Baldur, renowned blacksmith
and chief of the earth sprites.
**[07:05] Allam**
This blade really is a beauty.
**[07:08] Dusty**
I hear you've joined
the Black King Suppression Army.
**[07:11] Allam**
Yeah, I have.
**[07:12] Allam**
Yuri wouldn't stop bugging me about it.
**[07:14] Dusty**
Don't be so snotty about it.
**[07:16] Dusty**
Yuri saw potential in you, didn't he?
**[07:18] Dusty**
It's okay to be proud of that.
**[07:22] Dusty**
All right, you can keep the sword.
**[07:24] Dusty**
It's a gift. To commemorate your enlistment.
**[07:27] Allam**
You sure?
**[07:28] Dusty**
But remember this.
**[07:30] Dusty**
A weapon reflects the soul of the user.
**[07:33] Dusty**
Whether it becomes famous
or forgotten is up to you.
**[07:37] Dusty**
Don't forget that.
**[07:39] Allam**
All right, I got it.
**[07:41] Dusty**
Also, all good swords need a name.
**[07:44] Dusty**
Give it a good one.
**[07:48] Allam**
Yeah.
**[07:52] Gilbert**
When one flower is infected,
those around it are also affected.
**[07:58] Gilbert**
The power of darkness is
overwhelming the light in this world.
**[08:03] Yuuri**
Then your illness...
**[08:06] Gilbert**
Every time the Black Army gains more ground,
**[08:09] Gilbert**
the blackening spreads further.
**[08:12] Gilbert**
As you can see.
**[08:16] Gilbert**
It's only a matter or time
before my entire body is stained black.
**[08:20] Gilbert**
When that happens...
**[08:23] Gilbert**
I sometimes dream that
I'm fighting alongside the Black Army.
**[08:29] Yuuri**
You wouldn't...
**[08:31] Yuuri**
We wouldn't let that happen.
**[08:34] Gilbert**
I hope not.
**[08:55] Burckhardt**
You're tensing up too much.
**[09:00] Allam**
Are your injuries better now?
**[09:02] Burckhardt**
In order to adapt to any given situation...
**[09:07] Burckhardt**
You... What's with that sword?
**[09:10] Allam**
This?
**[09:12] Allam**
It's the Hiramekimaru.
**[09:13] Allam**
Pretty cool, right?
**[09:15] Burckhardt**
You misunderstand.
**[09:16] Burckhardt**
I'm asking why you have such a sword.
**[09:20] Allam**
What?
**[09:21] Allam**
Someone gave it to me.
**[09:22] Burckhardt**
Who did?
**[09:23] Allam**
What does it matter?
**[09:25] Burckhardt**
No-one would just give away
such an exquisite blade for free.
**[09:28] Allam**
What are you doing?
**[09:30] Allam**
Well, someone did! That's all there is to it!
**[09:32] Burckhardt**
Tell me the truth!
**[09:33] Allam**
I am!
**[09:35] Yuriana**
What's going on?
**[09:37] Burckhardt**
Your Highness.
**[09:39] Yuriana**
What's the matter?
**[09:40] Burckhardt**
Ma'am.
**[09:41] Burckhardt**
The boy had a sword unbefitting him.
**[09:45] Burckhardt**
I thought he may have...
**[09:47] Allam**
May have what?
**[09:49] Burckhardt**
He may have stolen it from someone.
**[09:51] Allam**
I'd never do that!
**[09:56] Yuuri**
Why would you assume he stole it?
**[10:02] Yuriana**
Anyway, let's hear what he has to say—
**[10:05] Dusty**
He's not lying.
**[10:07] Dusty**
I gave him that sword.
**[10:11] Yuuri**
Is that true?
**[10:12] Dusty**
To commemorate his enlistment,
**[10:14] Dusty**
in the Black King Suppression Army.
**[10:18] Yuuri**
Burckhardt.
**[10:24] Burckhardt**
My apologies.
**[10:28] Allam**
I'd never steal.
**[10:33] Wayne**
Are you sure about this?
**[10:36] Wayne**
Are you really going to have him
accompany Yuri and the others?
**[10:42] Yuriana**
I want him to understand Yuri better.
**[10:46] Yuriana**
They'll establish a better bond that way.
**[10:49] Yuriana**
We can become stronger.
**[10:53] Wayne**
That may be true, but...
**[10:56] Yuriana**
I'm sure he'll understand.
**[11:11] Phoena**
Yuri.
**[11:16] Phoena**
Um... Are you all right?
**[11:19] Yuuri**
Yeah. I finally got some rest.
**[11:23] Phoena**
I mean...
**[11:25] Phoena**
Um...
**[11:26] Phoena**
Your blacken—
**[11:29] Yuuri**
You must be tired, too, Phoena.
**[11:31] Yuuri**
You should get some rest while you can.
**[11:36] Yuuri**
Who knows when we'll next
have beds to sleep in.
**[11:40] Phoena**
You're right.
**[11:43] Yuuri**
Thank you, Phoena.
**[11:51] Phoena**
Good night.
**[12:02] Black**
*Do you regret deciding to fight again?*
**[12:07] Yuuri**
There's still hope.
**[12:10] Black**
*Hope? What good does that do?*
**[12:13] Yuuri**
You need hope to win.
**[12:16] Black**
*How foolish.*
**[12:17] Black**
*You can never defeat the Black King.*
**[12:20] Black**
*You know that better than anyone.*
**[12:23] Yuuri**
Shut up.
**[12:24] Black**
*This land will be stained black.*
**[12:27] Black**
*Its people shall fall into darkness.*
**[12:29] Yuuri**
Shut up!
**[12:31] Black**
*You are no more than a candle in the wind.*
**[12:45] Yuuri**
Aram.
**[12:49] Yuuri**
So, what did you want to talk about?
**[12:51] Allam**
Well...
**[12:53] Allam**
Thanks for earlier.
**[12:55] Allam**
For believing me.
**[12:59] Allam**
I used to steal and stuff before.
**[13:03] Allam**
But I don't do that anymore.
**[13:06] Yuuri**
Aram, you said you wanted
to become stronger.
**[13:10] Yuuri**
If you become stronger, what will you do?
**[13:12] Allam**
What else?
**[13:13] Allam**
I'm going to take down
those Black Army bastards.
**[13:19] Allam**
They destroyed my village.
**[13:25] Allam**
I've been alone ever since.
**[13:27] Allam**
I'd wander around
until I found a place to live,
**[13:30] Allam**
but they'd always reappear
and end up destroying that, too.
**[13:33] Allam**
That's why I want to get stronger!
**[13:35] Allam**
Please, teach me your technique.
**[13:38] Allam**
I want to be able to use it!
**[13:46] Yuuri**
Swordsmanship, character...
**[13:49] Yuuri**
Becoming respected for either takes time.
**[13:54] Yuuri**
Become a man worthy of this sword, Aram.
**[14:00] Allam**
Yeah.
**[14:03] Sylva**
Sorry about this.
**[14:04] Sylva**
I'd love to come with you,
but there's a lot I have to do here.
**[14:10] Yuuri**
Sure, I know.
**[14:12] Marina**
You've already been a great help.
**[14:15] Marina**
All these supplies and rations...
**[14:18] Selene**
Our leader has high hopes for you.
**[14:21] Sylva**
Say, Princess.
**[14:23] Sylva**
You're headed to
the Holy Capital, are you not?
**[14:26] Yuriana**
Yes. To see our comrades
who have returned home.
**[14:29] Yuriana**
I'm going to ask them to join
the Black King Suppression Army.
**[14:32] Sylva**
Think it will work?
**[14:35] Yuriana**
Who knows? We have to try, though.
**[14:40] Sylva**
I'll talk to the Guild people for you.
**[14:44] Sylva**
I don't know how many will
be on board, though.
**[14:46] Yuriana**
Thank you.
**[14:48] Sylva**
Oh, yeah, speaking of which...
**[14:49] Sylva**
The Magic Guild leader, Aludra,
said she'd be going with you.
**[14:54] Michidia**
What? Really?
**[14:55] Aludra**
Really.
**[14:57] Yuuri**
Aludra.
***SIGN*** Universal Mage
Aludra
***SIGN*** Dragon Slayer
Vorg
**[14:58] Yuuri**
And Vorg.
**[15:00] Aludra**
Sorry I'm late.
It took longer to prepare than I thought.
**[15:03] Vorg**
It's not like you had that much to pack.
**[15:06] Vorg**
It looks like we'll be
working together again.
**[15:08] Yuuri**
Yeah.
**[15:10] Allam**
Your sword's awesome.
**[15:13] Vorg**
You can tell, can you?
**[15:15] Vorg**
This is the Dragon Killer.
**[15:17] Vorg**
It's my life.
**[15:19] Allam**
That thing about weapons
reflecting the soul?
**[15:21] Vorg**
You know your stuff, kid!
**[15:23] Vorg**
I'm Vorg the Dragon Slayer.
**[15:27] Allam**
Don't treat me like a kid!
**[15:29] Vorg**
Whoops.
**[15:32] Allam**
What's so funny?
**[15:39] Yuriana**
Burckhardt...
**[15:42] Yuriana**
If you spend some time traveling with
Yuri's group, I'm sure you'll understand
**[15:47] Yuriana**
just how trustworthy they are.
**[15:50] Yuriana**
I'm counting on you.
**[15:52] Burckhardt**
I understand.
**[15:55] Yuriana**
Please check on the Maze Pass along the way.
**[15:59] Yuuri**
Understood.
**[16:00] Phoena**
Take care, Juliana.
**[16:02] Kain**
Be sure to bring us as
many people as you can.
**[16:05] Yuriana**
I will.
**[16:06] Yuriana**
You, too.
**[16:18] A**
Mine.
**[16:19] Allam**
No fair!
**[16:21] ---**
My apple!
**[16:21] Burckhardt**
*How...*
**[16:23] Burckhardt**
*How did things turn out like this?*
**[16:26] Burckhardt**
*Why?*
**[16:27] Burckhardt**
*Why am I here?*
**[16:33] Yuuri**
Burckhardt.
**[16:35] Yuuri**
About yesterday...
**[16:37] Burckhardt**
I understand that I was in the wrong.
**[16:40] Yuuri**
Forget it. It's in the past.
**[16:42] Yuuri**
That aside, I want you to train
Aram in sword fighting again.
**[16:47] Yuuri**
I'm sure you'd make a great instructor.
**[16:49] Burckhardt**
Please excuse me.
**[16:51] Burckhardt**
I don't feel so well.
I'm going to get some fresh air.
**[16:53] Yuuri**
Burckhardt...
**[17:05] Burckhardt**
*I don't get it.*
**[17:07] Burckhardt**
*What did I do wrong?*
**[17:11] Burckhardt**
*I serve only Her Highness Juliana.*
**[17:14] Burckhardt**
*No one else.*
**[17:17] Burckhardt**
*So why?*
**[17:21] Eirenus**
Are you the one who called me?
**[17:27] Eirenus**
I've come for you.
**[17:30] Burckhardt**
You...
**[17:32] Eirenus**
I'm Eirenus.
**[17:34] Eirenus**
I'm on your side.
You ought to at least know my name.
**[17:36] Burckhardt**
What are you talking about?
**[17:42] Burckhardt**
You're almost there.
**[17:45] Eirenus**
You witch!
**[17:47] Eirenus**
Very well.
**[17:48] Eirenus**
I'll stain you black myself.
**[17:58] Eirenus**
What are you fighting for?
**[18:02] Eirenus**
There's no one here for you to protect.
**[18:06] Burckhardt**
I protect...
**[18:10] Eirenus**
You've been abandoned.
**[18:23] Yuuri**
What's wrong?
**[18:24] Phoena**
The Chronicle...
**[18:27] Yuuri**
There's Black Fog coming from the forest.
**[18:30] Yuuri**
Burckhardt!
**[18:32] Allam**
Yuri!
**[18:37] Burckhardt**
*She deemed me weak because I made a mistake.*
**[18:43] (Flashback) Yuriana**
I want you to go with Yuri.
**[18:45] Burckhardt**
*Juliana doesn't need me anymore.*
**[18:51] Burckhardt**
*I've been discarded.*
**[19:00] Eirenus**
Go play with these!
**[19:06] Vorg**
There you are.
**[19:08] Vorg**
I'll kill you all!
**[19:18] Allam**
Awesome.
**[19:20] Allam**
I gotta keep up.
**[19:30] Burckhardt**
I...
**[19:31] Burckhardt**
Where do I belong?
**[19:36] Black King**
Come to me.
**[19:38] Black King**
You belong in a world engulfed in black.
**[19:46] Burckhardt**
*I...*
**[19:55] Yuriana**
Kain, Michidia, we're going to
do a chain attack with Burckhardt.
**[19:59] A**
Got it!
**[20:10] Yuuri**
Seize the light!
**[20:16] Yuuri**
Burckhardt!
**[20:19] Burckhardt**
I...
**[20:21] Burckhardt**
I belong...
**[20:38] Eirenus**
Welcome to the world of darkness.
**[20:45] Burckhardt**
I'm being released...
**[20:47] Burckhardt**
from everything that held me down.
**[20:50] Burckhardt**
I'm brimming with power.
**[20:54] Burckhardt**
It's indescribable!
**[20:57] Burckhardt**
I feel amazing.
**[21:06] Allam**
Burckhardt...
**[21:10] Aludra**
He's become a demon.
**[21:29] Kain**
Captain!
**[21:50] Eirenus**
That's enough.
**[21:51] Eirenus**
I've only come today to bring you home.
**[21:54] Eirenus**
We'll meet again, Yuri.
**[21:57] Eirenus**
Next time...
**[22:02] Vorg**
Wait!

**[00:06] Wayne**
What's the matter?
**[00:23] Yuri**
I'm sorry, Juliana.
**[00:27] Juliana**
Burckhardt...
**[00:28] Juliana**
A demon?
**[00:29] Wayne**
No...
**[00:31] Wayne**
He was such a righteous man.
**[00:33] Yuri**
If I had only noticed
the change in him sooner...
**[00:39] Juliana**
No.
**[00:40] Juliana**
It isn't your fault.
**[00:44] Juliana**
Are the others okay?
**[00:46] Yuri**
Y-Yes.
**[00:47] Juliana**
I see... That's good.
**[00:49] Yuri**
But the enemy knows we're here.
**[00:54] Yuri**
Traveling at night is dangerous,
but I want to push forward.
**[00:58] Juliana**
You're right.
**[01:00] Juliana**
That's a good idea.
**[01:01] Yuri**
Goodbye.
**[01:02] Juliana**
Wait.
**[01:03] Juliana**
Stay safe.
**[01:05] Juliana**
Thank you.
**[01:13] Aries**
Your Highness!
**[01:14] Aries**
The Holy Capital's on fire!
**[01:16] Wayne**
What?
***SIGN*** The Expanding Darkness
**[03:12] A**
May all be engulfed in blackness!
**[03:14] A**
May all be engulfed in blackness!
**[03:16] B**
No, stop!
**[03:18] B**
Let go!
**[03:18] C**
Move it!
**[03:20] D**
Smash it!
**[03:21] D**
Pull it down!
**[03:22] E**
Please spare me!
**[03:24] F**
Put it out!
**[03:25] F**
Why are you doing this?
**[03:26] C**
So that all may be engulfed in blackness!
**[03:29] G**
Stop.
**[03:30] H**
Shut up.
**[03:31] H**
I'm going to join the Black Army
so I can survive!
**[03:35] I**
Hurry, this way.
**[03:37] J**
Destroy it all!
**[03:39] J**
May all be engulfed in blackness!
**[03:43] Cervantes**
Fools! Getting riled up over
a bunch of silly rumors...
**[03:47] A**
Cervantes!
**[03:48] Cervantes**
Don't worry. I'm holding back.
**[03:52] Cervantes**
My back...
**[03:54] A**
Don't over do it.
**[03:55] A**
Give me your hand.
**[03:56] Cervantes**
Don't treat me like I'm over the hill!
**[03:59] Einslotte**
Focus on evacuating the citizens.
**[04:01] Einslotte**
Close off all roads to the central square.
**[04:03] Einslotte**
Stop this panic from spreading any further.
**[04:16] Cervantes**
Put your backs into it, men!
**[04:23] Rowendia**
Apprehend them!
**[04:40] Einslotte**
Looks like things are finally under control.
**[04:42] A**
This is all because you people
don't do your job!
**[04:46] Rowendia**
What are...
**[04:47] A**
Please calm down.
**[04:49] A**
For now, let's clean this mess up.
**[04:51] Einslotte**
What's the matter?
**[04:52] Rowendia**
I ordered the knights to
clean up the city, but...
**[05:01] Einslotte**
Seize him!
**[05:09] Einslotte**
Your Highness!
**[05:10] Einslotte**
I'm glad you're safe.
**[05:12] Juliana**
Save the greetings.
**[05:13] Juliana**
What is going on here?
**[05:16] Einslotte**
Since the defeat at the castle,
some of the citizens have been on edge.
**[05:21] Einslotte**
Riots have started breaking out all over.
**[05:24] Cervantes**
A bunch of punks making a racket,
**[05:27] Cervantes**
ranting about joining
the Black Army to survive.
**[05:30] Juliana**
That's...
**[05:32] A**
Holy Princess Juliana!
**[05:34] A**
You cannot save this world!
**[05:36] Aries**
You!
**[05:38] Wayne**
A kid?
**[05:40] Juliana**
Aries, release him.
**[05:42] Aries**
But...
**[05:43] Juliana**
Just do it.
**[05:46] Juliana**
If there's something you want to say,
now's your chance.
**[05:49] A**
The Holy King is dead.
**[05:51] A**
The holy men at the Great Shrine
won't help us.
**[05:54] A**
But the Black King is different.
**[05:56] A**
He'll spare us if we join the Black Army!
**[05:58] Aries**
Nonsense.
**[05:59] Juliana**
Who told you that?
**[06:01] A**
Everyone's saying it.
**[06:03] Juliana**
"Everyone"?
**[06:04] Juliana**
You believe such a rumor?
**[06:06] A**
I don't want to die!
**[06:08] A**
I'll become a demon and join the Black Army!
**[06:11] Juliana**
A demon?
**[06:13] Juliana**
Do you understand what that means?
**[06:18] Juliana**
Become a demon and you'll never see
your friends or family or ever again.
**[06:25] Juliana**
You'd do that just to save your own skin?
**[06:29] Juliana**
Have you even considered what would happen
**[06:32] Juliana**
to those you leave behind?
**[06:35] Juliana**
We... We fought together all this while.
**[06:40] Juliana**
You swore to fight alongside your comrades.
**[06:45] Juliana**
Why?
**[06:47] Juliana**
Why did you become a demon?
**[06:51] Juliana**
How could I not have known?
**[06:55] Juliana**
Why couldn't I stop you?
**[06:58] Rowendia**
Your Highness...
**[07:02] Einslotte**
What in the world happened?
**[07:06] Wayne**
Burckhardt became a demon.
**[07:10] A**
More fires!
**[07:11] Cervantes**
Damn it all. There's no end to it.
**[07:22] Louise**
Thank goodness you're safe.
**[07:23] Juliana**
Louise...
**[07:24] Juliana**
I'm sorry I worried you.
**[07:26] Louise**
No, this whole situation started
because I wasn't strong enough.
**[07:32] Juliana**
It isn't your fault.
**[07:34] Einslotte**
The three of us have taken on the duties
of the Holy King between us.
**[07:38] Einslotte**
We promised to do what we could
to help each other out, did we not?
**[07:42] Louise**
Yes.
**[07:43] Einslotte**
But the fact of the matter is that
the current situation is becoming grave.
**[07:48] Einslotte**
The riots are spreading faster
than we could have imagined.
**[07:52] Einslotte**
At this rate...
**[07:54] Louise**
What should we do now?
**[08:20] A**
What the?
**[08:25] B**
Are you all right?
**[08:27] B**
What is this?
**[08:28] A**
Let's report this to Chief Olga.
**[08:46] Wayne**
I'm told that the forces
of the Nine Territories,
**[08:49] Wayne**
led by Shuza,
are stationed near the Holy Capital.
**[08:52] Juliana**
Shuza?
**[08:53] Juliana**
He's still in the Holy Kingdom?
**[08:55] Einslotte**
Shuza's army is still recovering from
their battle with the Black King.
**[09:00] Einslotte**
It will be a while until they can move out.
**[09:03] Wayne**
Your Highness.
**[09:05] Wayne**
Why don't we have them join
the Black King Suppression Army?
**[09:10] Juliana**
Right.
**[09:12] Juliana**
Shuza would be a invaluable asset.
**[09:14] Juliana**
Let's send a messenger immediately.
**[09:34] Phoena**
Yuri.
**[09:35] Yuri**
Phoena.
**[09:37] Phoena**
I'll slow down the blackening.
**[09:39] Yuri**
I'm fine.
**[09:40] Phoena**
Hold out your arm.
**[09:42] Yuri**
I'll be all right.
**[09:43] Phoena**
No!
**[09:52] Phoena**
All this time, you've helped me.
**[09:56] Phoena**
It's my turn to help you.
**[10:14] Phoena**
Why...
**[10:20] Phoena**
Please, Chronicle.
**[10:26] Phoena**
Please.
**[10:31] Yuri**
Phoena...
**[10:33] Yuri**
It's...
**[10:41] Yuri**
Thank you.
**[10:54] Aram**
What the heck are they doing,
skipping out on dinner?
**[10:59] Aram**
What?
**[11:01] Aram**
Hey!
**[11:02] Aram**
Yu—
**[11:02] ---**
Shh!
**[11:03] ---**
We're going back.
**[11:04] Aram**
What?!
**[11:05] Kain**
A kid has no business seeing this.
**[11:07] Aram**
I'm not a kid!
**[11:08] Kain**
Shut up, idiot!
**[11:24] Aram**
It's huge!
**[11:26] Aram**
Is that the Sage's Tower?
**[11:29] Kain**
Yeah.
**[11:30] Kain**
It's some kind of weird building,
made using some kind of weird technology.
**[11:35] Aram**
Wow.
**[11:36] Aram**
That's super weird, but awesome.
**[11:40] Kain**
The Sage of Destiny there
might know where Pirika is.
**[11:52] Yuri**
What the?
**[12:05] Kain**
The Sorcerer's Army!
**[12:06] Michidia**
Why are they attacking us?
**[12:08] Melchior**
We've been waiting for you, Volunteer Army.
**[12:11] Melchior**
Melchior.
**[12:14] Aram**
Where?
**[12:16] Yuri**
Melchior!
**[12:18] Yuri**
We're going to fight the Black King again.
**[12:21] Yuri**
Please.
**[12:22] Yuri**
Lend us the power of the Sage's Tower.
**[12:27] Melchior**
If you want our assistance,
first prove your might.
**[12:32] Melchior**
Velnar!
**[12:33] Wayne**
All right!
**[12:37] Aludra**
No, you don't!
**[12:44] Aludra**
What firepower...
**[12:46] Aram**
Damn...
**[12:47] Kain**
Aram, get back! It's dangerous.
**[12:49] Yuri**
The carriage!
**[12:50] Kain**
Got it.
**[12:50] Katya**
Attack!
**[12:55] Vorg**
This place is never boring.
**[13:17] Yuri**
Aram!
**[13:22] Velnar**
You don't have time to worry about others!
**[13:33] Aludra**
My mana can't keep up.
**[13:36] Velnar**
This is over!
**[13:38] Aram**
Aludra!
**[13:39] Aludra**
Thanks!
**[13:41] Velnar**
Give it up, old hag!
**[13:44] Aludra**
Who are you calling an old hag?!
**[14:01] Melchior**
That kid can transfer mana?
**[14:07] Dilma**
You seem to be having fun, Melchior.
**[14:11] Melchior**
That is indeed entertaining.
**[14:13] Dilma**
But there'll be a lot of damage.
**[14:15] Melchior**
Sacrifices are necessary
if progress is to be made.
**[14:18] Dilma**
Then why not sacrifice yourself?
**[14:23] Dilma**
You've toyed with them long enough.
**[14:39] Fatima**
That's enough.
**[14:42] Fatima**
No more games.
**[14:48] Aram**
Y-You're naked?!
**[14:56] Phoena**
Aram, allow me to introduce you.
**[14:59] Phoena**
This is Dilma.
**[15:02] Phoena**
Fatima.
**[15:04] Phoena**
And Melchior.
***SIGN*** They are the Sages of the Tower.
**[15:10] Dilma**
Nice to meet you.
**[15:12] Melchior**
I heard you were gathering an Army,
so I put you through your paces.
**[15:17] Fatima**
Actually, your magic experiments failed,
and you were just taking it out on them.
**[15:21] Aram**
They're different from how I imagined them.
**[15:23] Kain**
Everyone says that at first.
**[15:35] Dilma**
This is the Imperial Castle as it is now.
**[15:37] Melchior**
That's right.
**[15:38] Melchior**
There's something interesting
going on there.
**[15:41] Melchior**
A High-Density Black Element is being emitted
**[15:44] Melchior**
from the castle non-stop, creating a barrier.
**[15:48] Melchior**
Calculations show that its density is double—
no, more than double—that of normal,
**[15:52] Melchior**
causing an unprecedented
blackening of the region.
**[15:54] Fatima**
Shut up.
**[15:57] Dilma**
Basically, the Black Element barrier has
grown so powerful, no-one can penetrate it.
**[16:04] Dilma**
Tell us, do you believe people will follow you
in this increasingly desperate situation,
**[16:09] Dilma**
despite the fact that
you've already failed once before?
**[16:13] Yuri**
Well...
**[16:17] Yuri**
We're doing this, regardless.
**[16:20] Dilma**
Very well.
**[16:21] Fatima**
The world's fate is a blank canvas.
**[16:24] Fatima**
The future has yet to be written.
**[16:26] Fatima**
Follow the path you believe to be true.
**[16:29] Michidia**
Do you mean it's up to us what happens next?
**[16:33] Fatima**
Yes.
**[16:34] Kain**
If that's what the Sage of Destiny says.
**[16:37] Aram**
*She's* the Sage of Destiny?
**[16:40] Phoena**
She is.
**[16:41] Phoena**
Fatima knows a lot of things.
**[16:44] Aram**
Even though she's naked?
**[16:46] Yuri**
Fatima, if you know anything
about Pirika, please tell us.
**[16:52] Fatima**
Pirika survives.
**[16:55] Fatima**
But is somewhere from which
it is impossible to return by oneself.
**[16:58] Phoena**
Where is that?
**[17:04] Yuri**
So not even Fatima knows.
**[17:06] Fatima**
There is still hope.
**[17:09] Aram**
Huh?
**[17:12] Fatima**
Also, you must travel to the Maze Pass.
**[17:25] Velnar**
Hey, kid.
**[17:29] Velnar**
You're new around here.
**[17:31] Aram**
I'm not a kid.
**[17:32] Aram**
I'm Aram.
**[17:33] Velnar**
Oh?
**[17:35] Velnar**
You have a big mouth.
**[17:37] Aram**
What's up with your body, anyway?
**[17:40] Clauss**
That's the mark of a Sealer.
**[17:45] Clauss**
He's strengthened himself by
carving magic runes into his body.
**[17:48] Clauss**
In other words, he's crazy about fighting.
**[17:50] Velnar**
Clauss.
**[17:52] Velnar**
You weren't at the battle.
**[17:53] Velnar**
Where were you?
**[17:54] Clauss**
It's my day off.
**[17:57] Aram**
Is that why you can use that awesome magic?
Because you're a Sealer?
**[18:02] Velnar**
Wanna see it again?
**[18:04] Clauss**
You're going to get suspended again.
**[18:08] Velnar**
Speaking of which,
you did something interesting yourself.
**[18:12] Velnar**
You can transfer mana, can you?
**[18:14] Aram**
Yeah.
**[18:15] Velnar**
I thought I'd won
when that old hag ran out of mana.
**[18:19] Velnar**
Good job watching out for her.
**[18:20] Aram**
I hate losing.
**[18:23] Velnar**
And if you lose anyway?
**[18:25] Aram**
I won't quit until I win.
**[18:28] Velnar**
You're quite the dumbass, too.
**[18:30] Aram**
I'm not *quite* a dumbass.
**[18:32] Aram**
I'm a *real* dumbass.
**[18:33] Clauss**
Is that supposed to be a compliment?
**[18:36] Velnar**
It's important to look at
the battlefield as a whole.
**[18:40] Velnar**
Once you do, you start to see things
that you couldn't otherwise.
**[18:45] Aram**
Yeah.
**[18:46] Clauss**
That was a surprisingly mature comment,
coming from you.
**[18:49] Velnar**
You need to watch carefully
if you're gonna kill *everyone*.
**[18:54] Clauss**
Right.
**[18:55] Aram**
Aren't you guys going to
fight the Black Army?
**[18:58] Velnar**
We are fighting them.
**[19:00] Velnar**
The ones that attack here, anyway.
**[19:03] Clauss**
We, the Sorcerer's Army, can't act
without orders from those weird Sages.
**[19:10] Aram**
I see.
**[19:15] Katya**
I apologize.
**[19:17] Katya**
We didn't want to fight you, either.
**[19:21] Aludra**
Don't worry about it, Katya.
**[19:23] Aludra**
I know you're at the mercy
of those crazy Sages.
**[19:28] Melchior**
Is someone speaking ill of me?
**[19:31] Aludra**
You're imagining things.
**[19:33] Melchior**
So, when are you leaving?
**[19:36] Aludra**
Unfortunately,
I'm going to be staying for a while.
**[19:38] Vorg**
So will I.
**[19:40] Aludra**
We came all the way here to find out
how to take on the Holy Castle, after all.
**[19:45] Melchior**
After you ran away from here
all those years ago, too.
**[19:49] Aludra**
Don't worry. I'll stay away from your room.
**[19:53] Melchior**
I'm not going to show you
my newest paper on magic theory.
**[19:57] Aludra**
Don't worry. I'll find it myself.
**[20:00] Melchior**
Then I'll set some magic traps
where I hide it.
**[20:05] Aludra**
I wonder if your theory-obsessed magic
will work on me.
**[20:09] Melchior**
I'm sure we'll see the failings
of your half-assed applied magic.
**[20:18] Vorg**
Geez.
**[20:35] Yuri**
All that and we still don't know
Pirika's whereabouts.
**[20:38] Katya**
Sadly.
**[20:40] Katya**
We'll have to ask Yggdra
at the island of sprites.
**[20:43] Yuri**
Yeah.
**[20:44] Yuri**
I'd like to go there immediately, but...
**[20:48] Phoena**
Let's go to the Maze Pass first.
**[20:51] Phoena**
Fatima doesn't offer advice
unless there's a reason.
**[20:55] Yuri**
I know.
**[20:57] Michidia**
Juliana asked us to check on the area, too.
**[21:01] Michidia**
This is a good opportunity.
**[21:02] Velnar**
We'll come with you.
**[21:08] Velnar**
I haven't had enough action lately.
**[21:10] Aram**
Awesome!
**[21:12] Aram**
You're coming with us?
**[21:14] Katya**
Yes, under orders from Melchior.
**[21:17] Katya**
He's interested in an artifact
discovered recently at the Maze Pass.
**[21:22] Katya**
We're to investigate.
**[21:24] Phoena**
Artifact?
**[21:26] Phoena**
I wonder what they found.
**[21:28] Velnar**
Who cares what it is?
**[21:32] Yuri**
All right, let's go.
**[21:33] Yuri**
To the Maze Pass!

**[00:06] A**
On the left!
**[00:07] A**
Don't get flanked!
**[00:08] B**
Got it.
**[00:12] B**
What *is* this "Black Blizzard"?
**[00:14] C**
To think even the Maze Pass would be
this infected by the Black Element...
**[00:44] D**
They can regenerate?!
**[00:48] A**
It's because of this Black Blizzard.
**[00:52] A**
Striking them down isn't enough.
**[00:54] B**
Marina, are you ready?
**[00:56] C**
Healing power within me,
**[00:59] C**
power of life, imbue my staff
and grant life to those before me.
**[01:16] D**
Wow.
**[01:18] D**
That was healing magic, wasn't it?
**[01:20] D**
You can destroy those
skeleton bastards with it?
**[01:23] C**
They *are* undead, after all.
**[01:25] D**
So even you can be useful
in combat sometimes, huh?
**[01:28] C**
"Sometimes"?
**[01:30] C**
Is that how you see me?
**[01:33] D**
All you ever do is trip over.
**[01:38] D**
What's that?
**[01:59] E**
Take this!
**[02:07] E**
All you gotta do is burn them bones!
**[02:17] A**
Aram!
***SIGN*** Snowy Mountain Screams
**[04:07] A**
They don't seem to have been buried alive.
**[04:11] B**
I can't believe the snow couldn't handle
one of my weakest spells.
**[04:14] B**
Talk about pathetic.
**[04:16] A**
No, you overdid it, Velnar.
**[04:20] B**
Shut up.
**[04:21] B**
Better too much than too little.
**[04:25] C**
That's enough, you two.
**[04:28] C**
What should we do?
**[04:29] C**
Should we go look for the two of them?
**[04:31] D**
Why don't we meet up
with the earth sprites first?
**[04:35] D**
We'd be better off with the help of
those familiar with these mountains.
**[04:41] E**
You're right.
**[04:42] E**
I'm sure the Captain would do the same.
**[04:45] F**
I agree, too.
**[04:49] B**
Yeah, yeah.
**[04:55] F**
* The Black Element is strong*
* in these mountains.*
**[05:02] F**
*Yuri...*
**[05:07] G**
Damn.
**[05:08] G**
Are you cold?
**[05:09] G**
Just stay in there.
**[05:13] G**
Hey, Yuri, do you know what this is?
**[05:16] H**
No. I've never seen anything like it before.
**[05:18] G**
It's not dangerous, is it?
**[05:20] H**
I don't know.
**[05:21] H**
But I don't sense any evil from it,
so I think it's safe to keep around.
**[05:27] G**
We're in this mess because
we tried to protect you, you know.
**[05:31] G**
You'd better be grateful, Furball.
**[05:34] H**
Furball?
**[05:35] G**
That's what I've named it,
since it *is* a ball of fur.
**[05:38] H**
Named it? Are you going to keep it?
**[05:41] G**
No, I wasn't planning to.
**[05:44] H**
Maybe you're not, but it looks like
that thing has already made up its mind.
**[05:50] G**
Hey.
**[05:51] G**
Stop it.
**[05:52] H**
It's your responsibility now.
**[05:59] G**
What's up?
**[06:06] H**
The blizzard's getting worse.
**[06:08] H**
Let's stop here and set up camp.
**[06:12] G**
Wait, Yuri.
**[06:13] G**
Let's keep going. We're probably close to...
**[06:16] H**
No, the cold saps your energy
more than you'd think.
**[06:20] H**
Let's dig a snow cave here
and wait for the weather to improve.
**[06:24] H**
Got it?
**[06:26] G**
O-Okay.
**[06:31] A**
Yuri's missing?!
**[06:33] B**
Along with a boy named Aram,
who recently joined us.
**[06:39] A**
All right.
**[06:40] A**
We'll send out a search team right away.
**[06:42] A**
Do any of you want to come along?
**[06:44] C**
Yeah.
**[06:46] A**
Kiki, can you let the fire sprites know, too?
**[06:53] D**
It's a hassle, but fine.
**[06:58] D**
Since it's for Yuri's sake.
**[07:00] B**
Thank you.
**[07:01] D**
Got it.
**[07:05] A**
Sorry to make you come this far
into the Pass during an emergency.
**[07:10] A**
We just happened to find something huge.
**[07:17] E**
Be careful with it.
**[07:19] E**
This is an incredible treasure.
**[07:25] A**
Hey!
**[07:27] A**
Can anyone hear me?
**[07:29] A**
Hey!
**[07:31] A**
Damn it.
**[07:34] A**
I can't get through.
**[07:35] B**
The Black Blizzard might be
hindering communications.
**[07:38] A**
Hey, Yuri, I really think
we should keep walking.
**[07:43] B**
No, the golden rule for when you're lost
is to stay right where you are.
**[07:49] A**
But...
**[07:50] B**
I'm sure Phoena and the rest have
enlisted the help of the earth sprites
**[07:54] B**
and are looking for us right now.
**[07:57] A**
The earth sprites?
**[07:59] A**
Are you sure they'll help?
**[08:01] A**
Besides, in this weather,
our friends might not...
**[08:04] B**
Don't worry.
**[08:05] B**
They've fought by my side all this time.
**[08:09] B**
So I trust them.
**[08:11] A**
Bah.
**[08:14] A**
Nothing.
**[08:16] B**
That wasn't nothing.
**[08:18] A**
Shut up.
**[08:20] A**
I was just feeling a bit envious...
**[08:22] A**
of your confidence in your friends.
**[08:30] A**
I don't trust them that much yet.
**[08:35] B**
Aram.
**[08:37] A**
I've never had friends.
**[08:39] A**
I've always had to do everything for myself.
**[08:47] B**
At some point, everyone comes across
a situation they can't deal with alone.
**[08:52] B**
Whether they have someone to help
when that happens,
**[08:55] B**
and whether they can trust them fully,
**[08:59] B**
probably determines a person's true strength.
**[09:04] A**
Is that what you call a bond?
**[09:07] B**
I'm not sure.
**[09:08] A**
It's not?
**[09:09] B**
Who knows?
**[09:10] B**
That's probably something you have
to find out for yourself, Aram.
**[09:15] A**
Bah. You spoilsport.
**[09:19] B**
*Don't worry.*
**[09:20] B**
*You'll find it yourself someday,*
**[09:22] B**
*a light that's right for you.*
**[09:28] A**
Maybe we should have gone with them.
**[09:32] B**
I'd like to, but first we need to do
what we came here to do.
**[09:39] A**
To ask the earth and fire sprites to
help the Black King Suppression Army.
**[09:45] B**
Yes.
**[09:46] B**
And one other thing.
**[09:49] B**
Why did Fatima instruct us to come here?
**[09:53] B**
Could it be...
**[09:55] B**
Marina, don't you sense something?
**[09:59] A**
I do.
**[10:00] A**
It's an artifact with immense magical power.
**[10:03] B**
We need to figure out what this is.
**[10:05] B**
That must be why we were sent here.
**[10:15] B**
"Deep, deep within the
depths of the Maze Pass,
**[10:19] B**
there lies a sword of hope.
**[10:20] B**
A blade, cutting through the darkness."
**[10:23] A**
Cutting through the darkness?
**[10:25] B**
There's no doubt.
**[10:27] B**
This will surely be of use to us.
**[10:32] A**
Don't fall asleep, Aram.
**[10:36] B**
I wasn't sleeping.
**[10:39] A**
If you're sleepy, why don't we
play word chain or something?
**[10:43] B**
Word chain?
**[10:44] B**
Me and you?
**[10:46] A**
Is that weird?
**[10:48] B**
No, it's not weird, but...
**[10:52] A**
I mean...
**[10:53] A**
I can't think of anything else
to do in this situation.
**[11:00] B**
Okay.
**[11:01] B**
Fine. Let's play word chain.
**[11:04] B**
But first...
**[11:06] A**
Aram?
**[11:07] B**
It's so cold.
**[11:09] B**
I gotta go take a leak.
**[11:15] B**
Did you hear that? "Word chain."
**[11:17] B**
Yuri's a lot more normal
in person than I thought.
**[11:24] B**
Don't you think so, Furball?
**[11:28] B**
Furball?
**[11:29] B**
Hey!
**[11:30] B**
Furball!
**[11:32] B**
Where'd you go?
**[11:34] B**
Damn it, that idiot.
**[11:39] B**
Yuri!
**[11:42] B**
*You're kidding me.*
**[11:44] B**
Yuri!
**[11:46] B**
Furball!
**[11:47] B**
Hey!
**[11:54] A**
Shuza, sir, I come with a message
from Holy Princess Juliana.
**[12:01] B**
A Black King Suppression Army?
**[12:02] A**
Yes.
**[12:03] A**
She requests your help in ridding
the continent of the Black Army for good.
**[12:12] B**
I see.
**[12:17] B**
Very well.
**[12:18] B**
I shall give you my reply now.
**[12:24] A**
Aram!
**[12:27] A**
Aram!
**[12:32] A**
Did he get himself lost?
**[12:34] A**
I have to go find him.
**[12:39] A**
*Wait, do I really have to go?*
**[12:42] A**
*I told him not to move when lost.*
**[12:46] A**
* If he got lost after that,*
* it's his own responsibility.*
**[12:49] A**
* Even if he froze to death,*
* it wouldn't be my fault.*
**[12:53] A**
What was I thinking just now?
**[12:59] A**
Damn it.
**[13:10] A**
I'm not giving up.
**[13:13] C**
Just relax, already.
**[13:20] C**
Why do you resist?
**[13:23] C**
You've already lost.
**[13:25] A**
I haven't lost yet.
**[13:27] C**
Liar.
**[13:29] C**
"Trust your friends"?
**[13:31] C**
"Trust your allies"?
**[13:32] C**
You can't be serious.
**[13:34] C**
You couldn't even trust
your friends or allies yourself.
**[13:39] C**
That's right. You doubted this world.
**[13:43] C**
You doubted the people living in it.
**[13:46] C**
You doubted whether it's worth
**[13:50] C**
going through the pain and
suffering to save it.
**[13:54] A**
No!
**[13:55] C**
You're a husk of a hero.
**[13:59] C**
In fact, you're a puppet,
held hostage by the word "hero"
**[14:02] C**
and played like a fiddle by fate.
**[14:06] C**
And you, yourself, are more
sick of yourself than anyone.
**[14:11] C**
This world tasked you with saving it
because you are a hero.
**[14:15] C**
"Save the world," they all asked.
**[14:19] C**
If they ask for help, a hero must do so.
**[14:22] C**
For that is the reason for
a hero's very existence.
**[14:25] C**
But, at the same time,
you came to the realization:
**[14:28] C**
that there is no one to save a hero.
**[14:34] A**
Shut up!
**[14:40] C**
That is why you lost to the Black King.
**[14:44] C**
And that is why, now,
**[14:52] C**
you are turning black yourself.
**[14:56] C**
It's useless to resist.
**[14:58] C**
I know everything.
**[15:00] C**
After all, I am you.
**[15:05] C**
Give it up.
**[15:06] C**
You, who despaired at being a hero,
are destined for the black world.
**[15:11] C**
You belong there.
**[15:14] B**
No, you don't!
**[15:21] B**
Are you all right, Yuri?
**[15:36] A**
*I see.*
**[15:37] A**
* They were the ones filling*
* my mind with fear.*
**[15:42] A**
Don't touch them, Aram.
**[15:43] A**
I have to defeat them myself.
**[15:47] B**
Why?
**[15:50] B**
Come on, Yuri, you said one's strength
lies in letting others help them.
**[15:56] B**
I don't really know what it
means to have bonds yet.
**[15:59] B**
But I do know one thing:
I want to be of help to you.
**[16:04] B**
So, right now, my sword is your sword.
**[16:09] B**
Me defeating them is the same
as you defeating them.
**[16:13] B**
Am I wrong?
**[16:16] A**
*I see.*
**[16:18] A**
*Aram, you never needed to look for it.*
**[16:27] A**
Seize the light!
**[16:50] A**
Aram.
**[16:52] B**
Hey, Yuri, was that a chain attack?
**[16:59] B**
I did it!
**[17:00] B**
Awesome!
**[17:02] B**
Awesome!
**[17:03] B**
I combined moves with you!
**[17:06] A**
Good job, Aram.
**[17:08] B**
Oh, right, is your arm okay?
**[17:11] A**
It's not a problem.
**[17:12] A**
More importantly…
**[17:19] A**
Aren't you Baltazari?
**[17:22] C**
Who is it that calls me Baltazari?
**[17:26] C**
Begone, blasted snow!
**[17:33] C**
Oh, Yuri, is that you?
**[17:36] A**
It's been a while.
**[17:38] B**
You know this weird old man, Yuri?
**[17:41] A**
Baltazari.
**[17:43] A**
He's the master of Fatima,
whom we met at the Sage Tower,
**[17:46] A**
and the previous Fate Sage.
**[17:48] B**
That naked chick's master?
**[17:50] B**
Actually, that makes sense.
**[18:04] B**
Furball!
**[18:05] B**
Where did you get to, stupid?
**[18:09] C**
Did the Black Blizzard blow you off course?
**[18:12] C**
You seem to be drowning
in dark waters right now.
**[18:17] C**
The more you fight it,
the deeper you'll fall.
**[18:20] C**
It may be easier to
let yourself be taken away.
**[18:23] A**
No, so long as there's hope,
I'll continue to fight.
**[18:25] C**
But hope, at times, may take
a person's life with its powerful light.
**[18:31] C**
Despite this, you would still continue?
**[18:34] A**
If I'm to be killed by hope,
I shall die happy.
**[18:40] C**
Well said!
**[18:43] C**
If that is how determined you are,
then I have nothing to say.
**[18:47] C**
Go forth, hero.
**[18:50] C**
I'll give you some good advice
in return for the entertainment.
**[18:55] C**
You've defeated a guardian dragon
in the past, have you not?
**[18:59] A**
Yes, at the desert oasis.
**[19:01] C**
A new dragon will appear there someday.
**[19:05] C**
Make your way there.
**[19:07] D**
Captain!
**[19:10] D**
Captain!
**[19:12] E**
Aram!
**[19:13] B**
Hey!
**[19:16] E**
Guys, we found the Captain and Aram!
**[19:20] A**
Baltazari...
**[19:24] B**
You were right.
**[19:27] B**
You said your friends would find you.
**[19:30] A**
Yeah.
**[19:31] A**
But don't forget, Aram.
**[19:34] A**
They're not *my* friends.
**[19:38] A**
They're *our* friends.
**[19:54] F**
We earth sprites will join up with the
Suppression Army as soon as we're ready.
**[19:58] A**
Thanks, Olga.
**[20:00] G**
We fire sprites will, too.
**[20:02] A**
Thank you, Rolo.
**[20:04] G**
And you can leave the artifact up to us.
**[20:07] G**
We'll take good care of it.
**[20:08] D**
Thank you very much.
**[20:11] G**
Sure thing.
**[20:13] B**
What, really?
**[20:15] B**
You forged that sword?
**[20:17] C**
You're a bit rough, but you have talent.
**[20:21] C**
Train well.
**[20:27] D**
Come on, Captain, drink up.
**[20:30] D**
You had us all worried.
**[20:33] F**
I'm glad you're both safe.
**[20:35] B**
Yeah, who knows what would have
happened if I'd been all by myself?
**[20:39] B**
But Yuri was there for me.
**[20:41] B**
And Furball, too.
**[20:43] G**
Furball?
**[20:45] G**
You have terrible taste in names.
**[20:51] B**
Hey, Marina's on the ground again.
**[20:54] G**
Hey!
**[20:55] G**
Did that thing just...
**[20:57] B**
You're so weird.
**[20:59] G**
I'm telling you, that furball...
**[21:02] B**
Want more?
**[21:03] A**
Thanks.
**[21:04] B**
I feel like getting separated and lost
**[21:09] B**
actually made me grow closer to everyone.
**[21:12] B**
So, y'know, uh...
**[21:15] B**
Thanks and stuff, Yuri.
**[21:19] A**
No, thank you.
**[21:21] A**
I'm glad I got to know you, Aram.
**[21:38] C**
So we're finally going to Soul Island.
**[21:41] A**
Yeah, we're going get Pirika back.
**[21:43] B**
I've never been across the sea.
**[21:47] F**
What's that?
**[21:51] A**
Shuza.
**[21:55] C**
I'm glad you're here.
**[21:56] C**
Are you going to join
the Black King Suppression Army?
**[22:00] G**
Hand over the Chain Chronicle.
**[22:06] G**
I'm going to defeat the Black King
and rule Yggdra myself.

**[00:10] Yuri**
Shuza...
***SIGN*** The Nadir of Anguish
**[02:35] A**
We've had word that you've re-established
the Black King Suppression Army.
**[02:41] A**
We received a request for reinforcements.
**[02:43] A**
However, we will not fight alongside
the Suppression Army.
**[02:49] A**
You will not win with your methods.
**[02:52] A**
We will defeat the Black King.
**[02:57] Aram**
What gives you the right to talk like that?
**[03:00] Aram**
Who do you think you are?
**[03:02] A**
Restrain yourself.
**[03:03] A**
This man is Shuza, First Lord of the Nine
Territories of Fire in the land of ogres.
**[03:09] A**
I am Second Lord, Yoshitsugu.
**[03:11] A**
I like your spirit, brat.
**[03:13] Aram**
I'm not a brat!
**[03:14] Aram**
I'm Aram!
**[03:16] Aram**
I'm tired of your nonsense, idiot!
**[03:20] Aram**
Don't just stand there! Say something, Yuri!
**[03:24] Shuza**
Hand over the Chain Chronicle.
**[03:27] Aram**
I'd never give it to the likes of you!
**[03:30] Shuza**
Move.
**[03:34] Yuri**
Shuza.
**[03:36] Yuri**
Now's not the time for in-fighting.
**[03:39] Shuza**
You haven't changed, boy.
**[03:42] Shuza**
Did I not warn you?
**[03:44] Shuza**
Mercy will only hold you back during war.
**[03:47] Shuza**
That is why you lost to the Black King.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Shuza**
Use any means necessary when
fighting the Black King.
**[04:04] (Flashback) Shuza**
Be prepared to use your comrades
as shields if necessary.
**[04:08] (Flashback) Shuza**
Mercy will only hold you back.
**[04:12] Shuza**
This is how I fight.
**[04:17] Aram**
Yuri!
**[04:19] Shuza**
Sheathe your sword!
**[04:21] Shuza**
We would prefer to avoid
any unnecessary bloodshed.
**[04:23] Shuza**
Now, then.
**[04:25] Phoena**
The Chronicle's power only manifests
for those it has chosen.
**[04:29] Shuza**
Then I'll just make it choose me.
**[04:31] Phoena**
Do you think you can do that?
**[04:34] Shuza**
That's why I'm standing here now.
**[04:37] Yuri**
Stop!
**[04:50] Juliana**
Try as we might to quell the riots,
the people are still restless.
**[04:57] Lilith**
If crossing swords with the
Black Army is a form of battle,
**[05:01] Lilith**
then so is fighting your own anxieties.
**[05:06] Lilith**
I fight daily against my own anxieties.
**[05:10] Lilith**
My duties as one of the Seventeen
Clerics of the Great Shrine...
**[05:16] Lilith**
As a decision-maker, with the
world on the verge of collapse,
**[05:20] Lilith**
I must choose who to entrust with
leading the world into the future.
**[05:26] Lilith**
As a cleric—no, as a human being—
**[05:31] Lilith**
I have been troubled by
the duty with which I am faced.
**[05:35] Lilith**
But it is no longer the time for that.
**[05:40] Lilith**
What I must do has already been decided.
**[05:45] Juliana**
You're right, Lilith.
**[05:47] Juliana**
What we must both do
**[05:49] Juliana**
has already been decided.
**[05:52] Juliana**
I must let the people
know what I am thinking.
**[05:54] Juliana**
I don't know if it'll alleviate their fears,
but I must convey my thoughts.
**[06:07] Juliana**
Please gather the people.
**[06:09] Juliana**
Until now, Louise, Einslotte, and I have
shared the duties of the Holy Queen.
**[06:16] Juliana**
You helped me when I lacked experience,
**[06:19] Juliana**
but I've been using that as
an excuse to shirk my responsibilities.
**[06:23] A**
Juliana...
**[06:24] Juliana**
Seeing the nation in its current state,
I finally understand what I must do.
**[06:33] Juliana**
To quell the people's fears,
**[06:36] Juliana**
a ruler must first show them how to
move forward and how to live their lives.
**[06:42] Juliana**
I will carry out my duty as
the successor to the throne.
**[06:48] A**
Juliana...
**[06:50] B**
I admire your determination.
**[06:58] C**
Her Majesty Juliana will
be succeeding the throne.
**[07:05] C**
We will thus be holding
a coronation ceremony.
**[07:12] Yuri**
Aram! Take care of Phoena!
**[07:14] Aram**
All right.
**[07:26] A**
I'd expect nothing less from
the Second Lord of the Nine Territories.
**[07:30] B**
Bring it!
**[07:39] Yuri**
Shuza.
**[07:41] Yuri**
Can we not fight alongside
one another again?
**[07:44] Shuza**
Enough.
**[07:46] Shuza**
I was given a choice between light and dark.
**[07:51] Shuza**
If you choose to follow the path of light,
**[07:54] Shuza**
then I shall follow the path of darkness.
**[08:01] Shuza**
I will take everything.
**[08:03] Shuza**
The Nine Territories.
**[08:04] Shuza**
Yggdra.
**[08:05] Shuza**
And the power of the blackness.
**[08:07] Shuza**
I will claim this power as my own,
and become the true Black King!
**[08:22] A**
Yuri!
**[08:23] B**
Yuri!
**[08:25] Shuza**
Begone, weaklings!
**[08:27] A**
Captain!
**[08:30] A**
A chain attack, quick!
**[08:47] Yuri**
Seize...
**[08:56] A**
Captain!
**[08:57] Phoena**
Yuri!
**[08:58] Aram**
He broke their chain!
**[09:07] Shuza**
You're pretty sure of yourself, brat.
**[09:26] Phoena**
Aram!
**[09:28] Shuza**
Now, hand it over.
**[09:30] Phoena**
No.
**[09:33] Aram**
Stop!
**[09:41] Yuri**
Shuza!
**[10:20] Shuza**
Who the hell are you?
**[10:22] Eirenus**
Its name is Olzada.
**[10:24] Eirenus**
An ancient golem said to bring calamity.
**[10:28] Eirenus**
Isn't it cute?
**[10:31] Eirenus**
It's time for you to come home.
**[10:35] Shuza**
A demon.
**[10:37] Eirenus**
Oh?
**[10:38] Eirenus**
It seems you're not unlike us.
**[10:41] Eirenus**
Want to come along, too?
**[10:43] Shuza**
Don't make me laugh, scum.
**[10:46] Eirenus**
Oh?
**[10:47] Eirenus**
Then I hate to say it,
but you'll have to die.
**[10:53] A**
Protect the lord!
**[10:56] B**
How ugly.
**[11:04] Shuza**
I have no use for the weak.
**[11:06] B**
Beautiful.
**[11:08] C**
I'll cut you down!
**[11:11] D**
Let's burn them all down!
**[11:14] Eirenus**
You pests.
**[11:24] Eirenus**
Come, let us go join the King.
**[11:27] Eirenus**
Your fate was sealed the moment you
appeared in front of the Black King.
**[11:33] Yuri**
That's nonsense.
**[11:35] Eirenus**
You're already stained black.
**[11:40] Eirenus**
Now, let's go.
**[11:45] Yuri2**
Why do you hesitate?
**[11:49] Yuri2**
Look.
**[11:51] Yuri2**
You failed to protect your friends.
**[11:54] Yuri**
No!
**[11:55] Yuri2**
And you let the Chain Chronicle be stolen.
**[12:00] Yuri2**
Yet again.
**[12:02] Yuri**
W-Well...
**[12:04] Yuri2**
It's the truth.
**[12:13] Aram**
Dammit...
**[12:14] Phoena**
Aram...
**[12:16] Aram**
Phoena.
**[12:17] Phoena**
The Chain Chronicle...
**[12:19] Aram**
I'll get it back.
**[12:24] Phoena**
Yuri, no!
**[12:26] Phoena**
You can't go!
**[12:27] Aram**
I'll stop him!
**[12:30] A**
You shall not interfere.
**[12:34] Yuri2**
You already understand, don't you?
**[12:36] Yuri2**
You're weak.
**[12:39] Yuri**
I, I...
**[12:41] Yuri2**
Now, accept it.
**[12:43] Yuri**
I... I...
**[12:47] Yuri2**
Now...
**[12:59] Eirenus**
I almost had you.
**[13:01] Yuri**
I vowed to defeat the Black King this time.
**[13:05] Yuri**
I will not waver!
**[13:08] Yuri**
I will prevail, with my friends!
**[13:12] Eirenus**
Your friends?
**[13:18] Eirenus**
Why do you think your friend,
Burckhardt, became a demon?
**[13:24] Phoena**
Aram!
**[13:31] Eirenus**
Take a look at your friends.
**[13:36] Aram**
I won't hand Yuri over!
**[13:37] A**
It's his fate.
**[13:39] Aram**
I don't care!
**[13:41] A**
Everyone has their rightful place.
**[13:43] A**
I was rejected by the person
I gave my all to.
**[13:48] A**
That's when I understood
the mistake I'd made.
**[13:53] Aram**
I have no idea what you're talking about!
**[13:57] Eirenus**
You're a wreck.
**[13:59] Eirenus**
So are they, see?
**[14:11] A**
Oh, no.
**[14:16] B**
Yoshitsugu, why?
**[14:20] B**
You could have stopped Shuza.
**[14:23] Yoshi**
Me? Stop him?
**[14:25] Yoshi**
I have my honor as an ogre.
**[14:28] Yoshi**
I bet what little life I have left on Shuza.
**[14:33] Yoshi**
Just as you bet yours on Yuri.
**[14:37] Yoshi**
I will fight for the one I placed my trust in.
**[14:41] B**
Same goes for me.
**[14:54] Eirenus**
The poor things.
**[14:55] Eirenus**
They're going to die, all because
they decided to believe in you.
**[15:00] Eirenus**
It's all your fault.
**[15:04] Yuri**
It's my...
**[15:05] Eirenus**
That's right. You can't protect anyone.
**[15:09] Yuri**
I... I...
**[15:16] Phoena**
Yuri!
**[15:17] Phoena**
Don't go!
**[15:21] Yuri2**
You knew you weren't a hero.
**[15:26] Yuri2**
You knew you didn't have the
ability to protect your friends.
**[15:30] Yuri2**
But you couldn't admit that to yourself.
**[15:34] Yuri2**
No, the people around you wouldn't let you.
**[15:37] Yuri**
That's not true!
**[15:38] Yuri2**
There isn't a single ray
of hope in this world.
**[15:42] Yuri2**
It will all soon be engulfed in black.
**[15:46] Yuri2**
But when that happens, you will be set free.
**[15:49] Yuri2**
What is the point in suffering or
making your friends suffer any longer?
**[15:55] Yuri**
I...
**[15:56] Yuri2**
The peace you seek is, in fact,
in the world of darkness.
**[16:02] Yuri2**
Do your friends—your people—the kindness
of ending things with your own hands.
**[16:11] Yuri2**
That is the only path left to you.
**[16:16] Yuri**
Kindness? Ending... things?
**[16:20] Aram**
Yuri!
**[16:25] Yuri2**
Come with me.
**[16:28] Yuri2**
To the world where you belong.
**[16:31] Yuri2**
You can't protect anyone any longer.
**[16:36] Yuri2**
Follow your heart.
**[16:40] Yuri**
I... I...
**[16:45] Aram**
Yuri!
**[16:49] Yuri**
I won't let the blackness defeat me!
**[16:56] Yuri2**
Is that your answer?
**[17:04] Yuri**
Kain... Why...
**[17:09] Kain**
Captain...
**[17:22] Eirenus**
You severed that fleeting bond
with your own hands.
**[17:31] Yuri**
Kain!
**[17:33] Kain**
Are you all right, Captain?
**[17:35] Yuri**
I...
**[17:36] Kain**
As long as you're okay,
that's all that matters.
**[17:39] Kain**
The Black King Suppression Army needs you.
**[17:43] Yuri**
Kain.
**[17:45] Yuri**
Kain!
**[18:00] A**
Captain!
**[18:01] B**
What?
**[18:10] (Flashback) Yuriana**
We'll gather troops from
every corner of the land
**[18:12] (Flashback) Yuriana**
and form a Black King Suppression *Army*.
**[18:15] (Flashback) Selene**
Our leader has high hopes for you.
**[18:19] (Flashback) Fatima**
Follow the path you believe to be true.
**[18:24] Yuri2**
Hope?
**[18:25] Yuri2**
How does that help?
**[18:28] Yuri2**
The people begged you to save the world.
**[18:32] Yuri2**
The world tasked you with saving it
because you are a hero.
**[18:44] King**
I've been waiting for you.
**[18:52] Juliana**
This continent of Yggdra is faced
with an unprecedented trial.
**[18:59] Juliana**
And this nation, too, has been engulfed
in darkness with no end in sight.
**[19:06] Juliana**
But that doesn't mean all hope is lost.
**[19:10] Juliana**
Today, I have made the decision to—
**[19:13] A**
Who do you think you are?
**[19:14] B**
It's your fault.
**[19:15] C**
It's your fault we lost the war!
**[19:17] D**
Yeah!
**[19:23] Juliana**
When my father was killed by the Black Army,
**[19:26] Juliana**
my heart fell into the depths of despair.
I lost the light.
**[19:32] Juliana**
Obsessed, I threw myself into a fruitless
battle to avenge my father.
**[19:41] Juliana**
I involved friends who were dear to me,
causing them to suffer.
**[19:47] Juliana**
That's when a certain warrior stopped me.
**[19:52] Juliana**
He scolded me with sincerity.
**[19:53] Juliana**
He was concerned for me, and he confronted me.
**[19:56] Juliana**
Thanks to him, I was able to stop myself.
**[20:09] Juliana**
Alas, when I returned,
**[20:13] Juliana**
I found my people devoid of light,
as I was before.
**[20:18] Juliana**
I know from experience that only ruin awaits
if we continue down this path.
**[20:24] Juliana**
That's why I must be strong.
**[20:28] Juliana**
You are like family to me, after all.
**[20:33] Juliana**
I have made the decision to take the throne.
**[20:39] Juliana**
To bring the light of hope
back to our hearts.
**[20:45] Juliana**
We must now become one and fight together.
**[20:53] Juliana**
This ancient Holy Kingdom has avoided
many a tragedy with our strong bonds.
**[21:01] Juliana**
With such bonds, there is nothing
against which we cannot prevail.
**[21:08] Juliana**
We will never be defeated by the darkness.
**[21:13] Juliana**
For the noble Holy Kingdom
and for its proud people,
**[21:19] Juliana**
let the light of hope shine bright!
**[21:35] Juliana**
In the name of the Seventeen Clerics,
**[21:37] Juliana**
Juliana, I hereby crown thee
Queen of the Holy Kingdom.

**[00:29] Aram**
What's wrong with you, Yuri?
**[00:31] Aram**
Why?
**[00:32] Aram**
How could you turn like this?
**[00:38] Shuza**
How amusing.
**[00:40] Shuza**
To think you'd fall to the blackness
simply by cutting down your friend...
**[00:43] Shuza**
"Hero," my foot.
**[00:46] Shuza**
You're weak.
**[00:47] Shuza**
Too weak.
**[00:49] Shuza**
I get it now.
**[00:50] Shuza**
It's no wonder you were no match
for the Black King.
**[00:54] Shuza**
On the other hand, this gives me
ample reason to take you down.
**[01:12] Shuza**
Damn puppet.
**[01:16] Eirenus**
Looks like you're all set to go, but I don't
have time to play with you right now.
**[01:23] Eirenus**
Come, Yuri.
**[01:25] Eirenus**
Our master is waiting.
**[01:34] Aram**
You're not going anywhere!
**[01:42] A**
I'll let you go for now.
**[01:45] A**
The next time we meet will be your last.
**[01:50] Phoena**
Yuri!
**[01:56] Shuza**
This is getting nowhere.
**[02:04] Shuza**
This is how you use...
**[02:08] Shuza**
the power of darkness!
**[02:17] Eirenus**
My, how impressive.
**[02:21] Eirenus**
Sadly, that's all we have time for today.
**[02:23] Eirenus**
I'm taking Yuri with me.
**[02:34] Aram**
Damn it...
**[02:36] Aram**
You idiot!
**[02:40] Aram**
Yuri...
**[02:43] Aram**
Yuri!
***SIGN*** Torn Apart
**[04:34] A**
So then...
**[04:35] B**
Yeah.
**[04:37] B**
Marina's keeping Kain's wound closed for now,
**[04:41] B**
but we'll need help from other healers
to heal him fully.
**[04:50] A**
You!
**[04:51] A**
Why are you here?
**[04:56] Shuza**
I could ask you the same thing.
**[05:02] Shuza**
The man who was your leader
has fallen to the blackness.
**[05:07] Shuza**
The so-called Suppression Army is over.
**[05:09] Shuza**
Begone.
**[05:11] A**
Say that again!
**[05:12] B**
We have no reason to listen to you,
Lord of the Nine Territories.
**[05:16] Shuza**
Yes, you do.
**[05:18] Shuza**
Members of the Sorcerer's Army,
if you still have the will to fight, join me.
**[05:26] Shuza**
I'm the only one who can use
your might to its fullest.
**[05:31] B**
You? *Use* us?
**[05:33] B**
You're certainly confident in yourself.
**[05:35] B**
Unfortunately, I don't think
you could handle us.
**[05:41] Shuza**
Then do as you wish.
**[05:43] Shuza**
But if you ever get in my way,
be you a member of the Sorcerer's Army,
**[05:48] Shuza**
or a sage of the Sage's Tower,
I will show no mercy.
**[05:54] Shuza**
Keep that in mind.
**[05:56] Aram**
The Suppression Army isn't even
close to being finished yet.
**[05:59] Aram**
Don't go deciding things for us,
you damn ogre.
**[06:01] Aram**
Give back the Chain Chronicle.
**[06:04] Aram**
It doesn't belong to you.
**[06:05] A**
Show some respect!
**[06:07] Shuza**
Gotten a bit big for your britches, brat?
**[06:10] Shuza**
Or has being betrayed just made you desperate?
**[06:13] Aram**
Yuri never betrayed us.
**[06:15] Shuza**
Listen to yourself.
**[06:17] Shuza**
He was defeated.
**[06:18] Shuza**
He abandoned you and joined the Black King.
**[06:21] Shuza**
What is that if not betrayal?
**[06:25] Aram**
It's nothing.
**[06:26] Aram**
Yuri's just a bit lost right now.
**[06:29] Aram**
He's waiting for us to come help him.
**[06:33] Aram**
He always believed in his friends.
**[06:37] Aram**
In his bonds with his friends.
**[06:39] Aram**
That friends would always come
to help when you're lost.
**[06:43] Aram**
Those bonds are still there.
**[06:45] Aram**
It's our turn to carry him this time.
**[06:51] Shuza**
You're going to bring him back?
**[06:53] Aram**
Yeah.
**[06:57] Shuza**
Nonsense, brat.
**[07:06] Shuza**
Interesting.
**[07:07] Shuza**
Then try it, brat.
**[07:09] Shuza**
But you'd better hurry.
**[07:12] Shuza**
Before I kill him first.
**[07:15] Aram**
I won't let you.
**[07:18] Aram**
The Chain Chronicle is mine now.
**[07:21] Aram**
If you want it back,
you'll have to take it by force.
**[07:32] Black**
I've been waiting for you, Yuri.
**[07:34] Black**
Or should I say, Black Knight?
**[07:37] Black**
The darkness has welcomed you.
**[07:41] Black**
How does it feel to follow what
lies in the depths of your heart?
**[07:47] Yuri**
I came here once to save the world.
**[07:52] Yuri**
But only because I was
bound by fate to do so.
**[07:56] Yuri**
I fought hopelessly without ever
finding a reason to save this world.
**[08:01] Yuri**
This time, I will challenge the world.
**[08:05] Yuri**
If it falls to me—to the blackness—
**[08:09] Yuri**
then it was never worth saving to begin with.
**[08:11] Yuri**
It ought to crumble.
**[08:16] A**
We'll return to the Sage's Tower
to report on this matter.
**[08:21] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[08:24] A**
I'm amazed you talked back to Shuza like that.
**[08:27] A**
You're going to die young.
**[08:29] Aram**
How so?
**[08:30] Aram**
I just did the obvious.
**[08:33] B**
"Obvious", he says!
**[08:35] B**
I like this kid!
**[08:38] A**
This is a grave state of affairs for us.
**[08:42] A**
But I'm glad you're with us, Aram.
**[08:46] A**
It could be that Yuri was...
**[08:51] A**
It's nothing.
**[08:52] A**
Never mind.
**[08:53] Phoena**
Please look after Kain, Marina.
**[08:58] Marina**
Yes.
**[09:00] A**
There are plenty of talented healers in
the Healer's Guild at the Vice Capital.
**[09:04] A**
I'm sure Marina will be able to keep
him alive until you reach them.
**[09:08] Marina**
I won't let Kain die.
**[09:12] A**
So where are you and Phoena going next?
**[09:15] Aram**
Oh, about that...
**[09:16] A**
Are you going to Soul Island, as planned?
**[09:20] Phoena**
Yes.
**[09:21] Phoena**
I believe it's our best option.
**[09:25] A**
Telling you to cheer up
probably doesn't help,
**[09:28] A**
but at least, try not to
blame yourself too much.
**[09:30] Phoena**
I'll be fine.
**[09:31] Phoena**
We'll figure it out.
**[09:33] Phoena**
Like Aram said, it's our
turn to do what we can.
**[09:39] A**
You're right.
**[09:50] A**
Let's go.
**[09:56] Aram**
All right.
**[09:57] Aram**
Let's get going too, Phoena.
**[10:00] Aram**
Phoena?
**[10:01] Phoena**
Oh, right.
**[11:06] Aram**
What's up? Are you hungry?
**[11:11] Aram**
What is it?
**[11:13] Aram**
Are you worried?
**[11:16] Aram**
I'm fine.
**[11:17] Aram**
I'm not down or anything.
**[11:19] Aram**
But, like, I can tell Phoena's
really pushing herself.
**[11:25] Aram**
It's weird, isn't it?
**[11:27] Aram**
I never thought about other
people until I met Yuri.
**[11:34] Aram**
It didn't even matter to me
if the people around me died.
**[11:39] Aram**
Everyone's alone in the end, I thought.
**[11:43] Aram**
But now...
**[11:47] Phoena**
Aram.
**[11:49] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[11:51] Phoena**
I feel refreshed.
**[11:53] Aram**
Th-That... That's great.
**[11:55] Phoena**
Why don't you take a bath, too?
**[11:57] Aram**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:58] Aram**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:00] Aram**
Dinner's ready.
**[12:01] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[12:05] Phoena**
It's delicious.
**[12:07] Aram**
Really? That's good to hear.
**[12:08] Phoena**
You might be a better cook than me.
**[12:11] Aram**
No way.
**[12:12] Aram**
Your cooking is good, too.
**[12:15] Phoena**
I know that's not true.
**[12:17] Phoena**
You and Yuri were the only ones
who ever said my cooking was good.
**[12:25] Aram**
Hey, Phoena, tell me about Yuri.
**[12:29] Aram**
You've been traveling with him
for a lot longer than I have.
**[12:33] Aram**
I want to learn more about him.
**[12:35] Aram**
Oh yeah, I told you about
the weird man we met
**[12:38] Aram**
while we were snowed in
in the mountains, right?
**[12:40] Aram**
Baltazari, was it?
**[12:43] Aram**
He said that Yuri defeated a dragon once.
**[12:48] Aram**
Was that for real?
**[12:51] Phoena**
Yes.
**[12:52] Phoena**
But I'd rather not talk about it.
**[12:54] Aram**
Why not?
**[12:56] Aram**
Taking down a dragon sounds awesome!
**[12:58] Aram**
I bet it was an amazing adventure!
**[13:01] Phoena**
No, it wasn't!
**[13:04] Phoena**
It really wasn't.
**[13:06] Phoena**
The dragon he defeated was blackened.
**[13:15] Phoena**
That dragon used to be known
as the Guardian of the Desert.
**[13:20] Phoena**
But at some point it may have been
exposed to the blackness.
**[13:23] Phoena**
It had become tainted black.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Dragon**
To think that I, once known as
the Guardian of the Desert,
**[14:14] (Flashback) Dragon**
would wreak chaos upon it.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Farrah**
You've come to your senses?
**[14:20] (Flashback) Dragon**
For now.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Dragon**
Hero, finish me.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Phoena**
Wait!
**[14:27] (Flashback) Phoena**
We don't need to take your life.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Dragon**
It is only right.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Dragon**
To make the people of the desert
suffer defies my true nature.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Dragon**
To perish here is thus my fate.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Dragon**
Now, do it.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Dragon**
While I am still myself.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Yuri**
Farrah...
**[14:51] (Flashback) Farrah**
Finish him.
**[14:56] Yuri**
Thank you for protecting the desert city.
**[15:01] Yuri**
Rest well.
**[15:08] Phoena**
There was nothing we could do to
save the dragon from the blackness.
**[15:14] Phoena**
All we could do was put him out of his misery.
**[15:21] Phoena**
Why?
**[15:23] Phoena**
Why couldn't I stop him?
**[15:26] Phoena**
I knew Yuri was suffering.
**[15:31] Aram**
Phoena...
**[15:32] Phoena**
I was the closest to him.
**[15:36] Phoena**
So why?
**[15:37] Phoena**
He's a kind person.
**[15:39] Phoena**
He's too kind.
**[15:42] Phoena**
And we forced him to fight.
**[15:49] Phoena**
Is that where we went wrong?
**[15:52] Phoena**
Forcing the weight of all this
on his shoulders?
**[15:54] Phoena**
Is that why he—
**[15:56] Aram**
No!
**[15:57] Aram**
There's no way that's true!
**[15:59] Aram**
It's all the Black King's fault for
attacking people where they're vulnerable.
**[16:02] Aram**
Isn't it?
**[16:05] Phoena**
Then my sin is even worse...
**[16:16] Phoena**
Why does the darkness take everyone?
**[16:21] Phoena**
Is that our inevitable fate?
**[16:25] Phoena**
If that's so, does this world
deserve to be engulfed in black?
**[16:30] Aram**
Of course not!
**[16:31] Phoena**
But...
**[16:35] Aram**
Phoena...
**[16:38] Aram**
Before I met Yuri, I thought
he must be really strong.
**[16:45] Aram**
He had no powerful supporters
or anything backing him.
**[16:47] Aram**
Despite that, he made it all the way to being
the captain of the Volunteer Army.
**[16:50] Aram**
But after meeting him,
I realized he wasn't anything like that.
**[16:55] Aram**
That's when I finally understood
that no one is strong through and through.
**[16:59] Aram**
Everyone has weaknesses.
**[17:01] Aram**
But...
**[17:04] Aram**
But that's why we make friends!
**[17:10] Aram**
We're friends.
**[17:12] Aram**
We're going to take Yuri back.
**[17:14] Aram**
We can do it.
**[17:15] Aram**
We have strong bonds.
**[17:18] Aram**
Don't we, Phoena?
**[17:34] Aram**
It'll be all right.
**[17:35] Aram**
It'll be all right, Phoena.
**[17:52] Aram**
Bonds, huh?
**[17:55] Aram**
I only realized after you were gone...
**[17:59] Aram**
Just how heavy and painful they can be.
**[18:25] Juliana**
*Looks like we can breathe easy for now.*
**[18:27] A**
Yes.
**[18:29] A**
Marina can finally get some sleep, too.
**[18:37] Juliana**
That goes for you, too,
does it not, Michidia?
**[18:40] A**
*I'm fine.*
**[18:42] A**
I want to be by Kain's side when he wakes.
**[18:49] B**
Juliana.
**[18:51] B**
I heard.
**[18:52] B**
Is it true?
**[18:54] B**
Yuri has fallen to the blackness?
**[18:57] Juliana**
Yes, it appears so.
**[18:59] B**
No...
**[19:00] B**
First Burckhardt, and now Yuri?
**[19:04] B**
It's bad enough that Shuza
has turned against us.
**[19:08] B**
And now this?
**[19:10] B**
Why are we faced with so many tribulations?
**[19:13] Juliana**
Raise your head, Einslotte.
**[19:16] Juliana**
There's no point in grieving
about what's already happened.
**[19:21] Juliana**
I intend to meet with Shuza immediately.
**[19:25] Juliana**
The situation we have with him
requires the utmost urgency.
**[19:29] Juliana**
Listen, such chaotic times call for the
initiative to find a path to the future.
**[19:37] Juliana**
That is the duty of she who wears
the crown of the Holy Queen.
**[19:42] Juliana**
Is that not true?
**[19:43] B**
No, you are absolutely correct, Juliana.
**[19:47] B**
I mean, Your Majesty.
**[19:50] Juliana**
*That's right.*
**[19:51] Juliana**
*I have to act.*
**[19:53] Juliana**
* It's my responsibility*
* to protect the people.*
**[19:57] Juliana**
* If Shuza, or if Yuri in his*
* blackened state, stand in my way,*
**[20:05] Juliana**
*I will take them down with my own hands.*
**[20:06] Juliana**
*I am the Holy Queen.*
**[20:12] Shidoh**
I come with a garrison of two thousand
men who were holding ground
**[20:15] Shidoh**
in the Nine Territories.
**[20:17] Shidoh**
We plan to meet with many more.
**[20:21] A**
Good job, Shidoh.
**[20:25] A**
We now have over 5,000 men.
**[20:30] Shuza**
We need more.
**[20:32] Shuza**
To defeat the Black King and
become the lords of this continent,
**[20:38] Shuza**
we will need more men.
**[20:40] Shuza**
More strong men.
**[20:46] A**
Well, well, well, this is interesting.
**[20:50] A**
Clearly, this is not just any old artifact.
**[20:54] B**
What is the text engraved on this sword?
**[20:57] A**
A song.
**[20:58] A**
With this, we can make something
very interesting indeed.
**[21:02] B**
"Make"?
**[21:04] A**
All we need now...
**[21:07] C**
We've returned.
**[21:10] B**
My, you're back early.
**[21:14] B**
How is the Suppression Army…
**[21:22] D**
No... Yuri...
**[21:27] E**
This may be a necessary trial
in order to create new light.
**[21:32] A**
New light?
**[21:33] B**
What is that?
**[21:35] E**
It is still but a small possibility.
**[21:38] E**
But there is something that must be done
to make it as certain as possible.
**[21:44] E**
I have a favor to ask of you.
**[21:55] Aram**
So that's Soul Island.
**[21:58] Phoena**
Yes.
**[21:59] Phoena**
There, we will surely...

**[00:12] (Flashback) Aram**
Hey, Yuri.
**[00:14] (Flashback) Aram**
Why will going to Soul Island
help us find Pirika?
**[00:19] (Flashback) Yuri**
The World Tree Library on Soul Island
is where Yggdra is.
**[00:25] (Flashback) Aram**
Yggdra?
**[00:27] (Flashback) Phoena**
Yggdra has the same name as this continent.
**[00:30] (Flashback) Phoena**
She's special, even among the fairies.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Aram**
Special?
**[00:36] (Flashback) Yuri**
Yeah.
**[00:37] (Flashback) Yuri**
She has the Chronicle.
***SIGN*** Unyielding Will
**[02:34] Phoena**
The island...
**[02:35] Aram**
Let's hurry.
**[02:50] Phoena**
Vienta.
**[02:52] Vienta**
There's no time to talk.
**[02:54] Vienta**
Follow me.
**[03:01] Vienta**
You're here to see Yggdra, aren't you?
**[03:04] Phoena**
Yes.
**[03:05] Phoena**
But I didn't expect to see
Soul Island like this.
**[03:08] Vienta**
Don't worry.
**[03:09] Vienta**
I'll get you there safely.
**[03:38] Vienta**
Pops.
**[03:39] Vienta**
Rafalgar.
**[03:40] Rafalgar**
There you are, Vienta.
**[03:42] Rafalgar**
Take those two with you.
**[03:44] Vienta**
I know.
**[03:46] Vienta**
Let's go.
**[03:47] ---**
Right!
**[03:49] Aram**
What's wrong?
**[04:00] Aram**
Yuri.
**[04:02] Rafalgar**
Yuri?
**[04:03] Rafalgar**
That's Yuri?
**[04:11] Aram**
Why are you here?
**[04:14] Aram**
Say something!
**[04:16] Yuri**
I have no reason to respond to you.
**[04:26] Aram**
What?
**[04:27] Aram**
You're the one who said
we should fight together.
**[04:31] Aram**
And yet, look at you now!
**[04:35] Aram**
Your sword's in tatters.
**[04:37] Aram**
Doesn't your weapon reflect your soul?
**[04:40] Aram**
Is that what you're like right now?!
**[04:44] Yuri**
The Black King can't be defeated.
**[05:00] Rafalgar**
These bastards...
**[05:02] Aram**
Power of blackness, my ass.
**[05:14] Yuri**
You'll understand soon enough.
**[05:17] Aram**
No, I won't.
**[05:27] Phoena**
Aram!
**[05:31] Vienta**
Pops!
**[05:43] Rafalgar**
Get going, kid!
**[05:45] Rafalgar**
You didn't come here to fight him, did you?
**[05:48] Aram**
But...
**[05:49] Rafalgar**
Isn't there something you need to do?
**[05:51] Rafalgar**
Hurry up and go!
**[06:13] Aram**
Let's go, Phoena.
**[06:37] Aram**
Yuri...
**[06:55] Yggdda**
Over here.
**[06:56] Phoena**
Yggd—
**[06:59] Aram**
Phoena!
**[07:00] Phoena**
I'm okay.
**[07:01] Yggdda**
Hurry inside,
**[07:03] Yggdda**
while Arbol's barrier lasts.
**[07:10] Yggdda**
The Chronicle is ready.
**[07:12] Yggdda**
Let us make haste.
**[07:21] Aram**
Whoa.
**[07:23] Yggdda**
To the core.
**[07:30] Yggdda**
The Chronicle.
**[07:36] Yggdda**
We're going inside.
**[07:56] Aram**
Isn't this the Vice Capital?
**[07:59] Yggdda**
We're inside Yggdra's Chronicle.
**[08:07] Aram**
What is this?
**[08:08] Yggdda**
These are records of the continent
of Yggdra, kept in the Chronicle.
**[08:14] Yggdda**
The whole history of the continent
is kept here, in great detail.
**[08:19] Aram**
So it's the same as yours?
**[08:21] Phoena**
It's not in the same league
as the Chain Chronicle.
**[08:24] Phoena**
The Chain Chronicle is an outline
of the history of the entire world,
**[08:30] Phoena**
including this continent.
**[08:33] Yggdda**
My Chronicle has the most detailed
information regarding this continent.
**[08:39] Yggdda**
That's the way it is.
**[08:41] Yggdda**
Now, let's go through the
Chronicle to find Pirika.
**[08:54] Phoena**
It's the battle at the Royal Castle.
**[08:57] Yuri**
I'm not done yet!
**[09:04] Aram**
Yuri!
**[09:09] Aram**
Are you all right?
**[09:11] Aram**
Yuri!
**[09:14] Yuri**
It's no use.
**[09:16] Yuri**
We can't influence the world
inside the Chronicle.
**[09:29] Phoena**
This is the moment we lost Pirika.
**[09:39] Phoena**
Pirika...
**[09:43] Yggdda**
Let's begin our search
from the records at this point..
**[09:53] Phoena**
This is when we retreated
from the Royal Capital.
**[09:57] Phoena**
I knew Yuri was suffering,
yet I couldn't do anything for him.
**[10:08] Phoena**
I was too powerless.
**[10:43] Rafalgar**
You'll have to go through me!
**[10:50] Rafalgar**
Are you really Yuri?
**[10:56] Vienta**
Pops!
**[11:16] Yggdda**
This is...
**[11:21] Aram**
Phoena!
**[11:23] Phoena**
Aram!
**[11:34] Aram**
Isn't that Yuri?
**[11:38] Aram**
It's Yuri when he was younger.
**[11:55] (Flashback) A**
Stay back.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Yuri**
Thank you, sir.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Yuri**
Were they from the Black Army
that's been attacking the continent recently?
**[12:28] (Flashback) A**
Yeah.
**[12:31] (Flashback) Yuri**
That move...
**[12:34] (Flashback) Yuri**
If only I had such moves...
**[12:37] (Flashback) Yuri**
I could fight if the village
ever came under attack.
**[12:41] (Flashback) A**
Then you'll have to train.
**[12:45] (Flashback) Yuri**
Will I be able to do it if I train?
**[12:48] (Flashback) A**
I can't guarantee it.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Yuri**
Well...
**[12:53] (Flashback) A**
Train for days, months, even years,
and you may never learn the skill.
**[13:02] (Flashback) A**
But if you can maintain a spirit of
perseverance, some day, you will.
**[13:11] (Flashback) Yuri**
Perseverance...
**[14:05] Aram**
The village...
**[14:06] (Flashback) Yuri**
You people!
**[14:24] (Flashback) Yuri**
Damn it!
**[14:42] Aram**
Isn't that...
**[14:57] (Flashback) Yuri**
Guys...
**[15:01] (Flashback) Yuri**
Hello?
**[15:03] (Flashback) Yuri**
Is there anyone here?
**[15:21] (Flashback) Yuri**
If only...
**[15:23] (Flashback) Yuri**
If only I were...
**[15:26] (Flashback) Yuri**
I don't want to go through this ever again.
**[15:42] Aram**
Yuri...
**[15:45] Aram**
Then why did you...
**[15:48] (Flashback) Phoena**
Yuri!
**[15:55] (Flashback) Phoena**
You've always helped me up to now.
**[15:59] (Flashback) Phoena**
This time, it's my turn to save you.
**[16:07] Aram**
Yuri's turning black.
**[16:13] Aram**
Impossible.
**[16:14] Aram**
Him?
**[16:16] Aram**
Why?
**[16:17] (Flashback) Yuri**
I don't have much time.
**[16:20] (Flashback) Yuri**
I tried to protect people.
**[16:24] (Flashback) Yuri**
Yet I couldn't protect anything.
**[16:27] (Flashback) A**
That's not true.
**[16:28] (Flashback) Yuri**
No, it's true.
**[16:32] (Flashback) Yuri**
I'm determined to defeat the Black King.
**[16:37] (Flashback) Yuri**
But...
**[16:38] (Flashback) Yuri**
At some point, I may have been paralyzed
by the weight of my armor.
**[16:49] (Flashback) A**
It might be that we made you feel that way.
**[16:56] (Flashback) A**
We've burdened you with too much…
**[16:58] (Flashback) Yuri**
That's not true.
**[17:01] (Flashback) Yuri**
It was my decision to defeat the Black King.
**[17:05] (Flashback) Yuri**
But I couldn't do it.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Yuri**
So...
**[17:11] (Flashback) Yuri**
Kain, please.
**[17:12] (Flashback) Yuri**
I want you to guide Aram for me.
**[17:17] (Flashback) Yuri**
Aram can be a ray of hope
in this world of darkness.
**[17:23] (Flashback) Yuri**
He has potential.
**[17:27] Aram**
Yuri...
**[17:29] Aram**
What the hell is that supposed to mean?
**[17:37] A**
Hi. We meet again.
**[17:41] Aram**
You're the old dude from the snow.
**[17:44] Aram**
Um... Balto...
***SIGN*** Baltazari.
***SIGN*** Remember it.
**[17:49] Aram**
Huh?
**[17:51] Aram**
How come I can talk to you?
***SIGN*** There isn't anything I can't do.
**[17:57] Aram**
You can do anything?
***SIGN*** You could say that.
**[18:02] Aram**
Then I have a request.
***SIGN*** A request?
**[18:05] Aram**
You can do anything, can't you?
**[18:10] Aram**
Make me strong.
***SIGN*** Strong, you say?
***SIGN*** The reason?
**[18:19] Aram**
I want to bring Yuri back.
**[18:21] Aram**
But I can't do it right now.
**[18:26] Aram**
I need to become stronger, beat down
Yuri, and bring him to his senses.
***SIGN*** I see.
***SIGN*** In that case...
**[18:46] Yuri**
Aram?
**[18:49] Aram**
Yuri!
**[18:51] Yuri**
Stay back!
**[19:04] Aram**
Damn it!
**[19:13] Yuri**
Aram.
**[19:15] Aram**
It's okay.
**[19:22] Aram**
Y-You...
**[19:27] Yuri**
Just let go and you'll find peace.
**[19:31] Aram**
Why would I?
**[19:36] Yuri**
Aram!
**[19:43] Yuri**
Enough.
**[19:45] Yuri**
Forget about me.
**[19:47] Aram**
No way.
**[19:49] Yuri**
Aram!
**[19:50] Yuri**
This is undignified.
**[19:53] Yuri**
Give it up.
**[19:58] Yuri**
Aram...
**[20:06] Aram**
Don't you dare give up, Yuri!
**[20:09] Aram**
I was always alone.
**[20:11] Aram**
So...
**[20:13] Aram**
So when you told me to come
with you, I was happy.
**[20:20] Aram**
"Potential," my foot.
**[20:23] Aram**
"Ray of hope in the darkness," my ass.
**[20:26] Aram**
Don't go around saying whatever you want!
**[20:33] Aram**
I'm not letting go of you.
**[20:36] Aram**
I won't give up on you.
**[20:39] Yuri**
Nonsense.
**[20:42] Yuri**
Give up!
**[20:43] Aram**
Shut up, idiot!
**[20:56] Yuri**
Now, Aram!
**[20:58] Yuri**
Ready your sword!
**[21:11] Yuri**
Seize the light!
**[21:33] A**
*It's the light.*
**[21:36] A**
* I'll return when everyone*
* finds the light of hope again.*
**[21:50] Aram**
I...
**[21:51] Phoena**
Aram!
**[21:53] Aram**
Phoena.
**[21:54] Aram**
You're safe.
**[21:56] Phoena**
You, too.
**[21:57] Phoena**
Thank goodness.
**[21:58] Aram**
Furball.
**[22:00] Phoena**
I heard it just as I was coming back.
**[22:04] Phoena**
Pirika's voice.
***SIGN*** It seems you've found your answer.
***SIGN*** That child, though...
***SIGN*** It couldn't be...
**[22:24] Rafalgar**
You're safe.
**[22:27] Phoena**
Rafalgar.
**[22:30] Phoena**
You need healing.
**[22:32] Rafalga**
I'm fine.
**[22:33] Rafalga**
Take care of my fool of a daughter.
**[22:36] Vienta**
That bastard left the Chronicle black.
**[22:43] Phoena**
We still haven't lost hope.
**[22:46] Phoena**
We learned that Pirika will come back.
**[22:50] Yggdra**
But with my Chronicle having
been stained black as well,
**[22:55] Yggdra**
we no longer have a moment to spare.
**[22:57] Yggdra**
Hurry.
**[23:02] A**
Your Majesty, we have visitors from the
Nine Territories requesting an audience.
**[23:10] Juliana**
Haruaki, Toka,
**[23:13] Juliana**
do you mean to tell me that
you want to take down Shuza?
**[23:17] Touka**
If Shuza were to join forces
with the Black King...
**[23:22] Haruaki**
We would not allow him to continue
any more than you would.
***SIGN*** The Flower in the Desert

**[00:05] Kalifa**
A new guardian dragon will appear?
**[00:08] Phoena**
Yes.
**[00:09] Aram**
This old man named Baltazari said so.
**[00:11] Aram**
That we should go to the Lake of Sand,
where a new guardian dragon will emerge.
**[00:16] Kalifa**
The sage of fate?
**[00:18] Phoena**
The Chronicle of this continent
has been stained black, too.
**[00:23] Phoena**
We have no time to waste.
**[00:26] Phoena**
We need to muster
all the forces at our disposal.
**[00:30] Phoena**
Please help us, Ashrina.
**[00:35] Ashrina**
If Baltazari says so...
**[00:38] Ashrina**
This may be the right time
to put that to the test.
**[00:41] Ashrina**
Farrah.
**[00:42] Farrah**
Yes.
**[00:45] Ashrina**
After Yuri defeated the blackened dragon,
**[00:49] Ashrina**
we found this at the shrine ruins
it used to live in.
**[00:53] Phoena**
Is this a song?
**[00:55] Ashrina**
I have always wanted to
have Musica sing this.
**[01:01] Ashrina**
Her voice might cause some sort of reaction.
**[01:03] Aram**
Musica?
**[01:04] Phoena**
A forest sprite who they call
the legendary songstress.
**[01:07] Phoena**
Indeed, I don't think anyone else
could sing this song.
**[01:14] Aram**
So we're going to awaken
the dragon with a song?
**[01:16] Aram**
That's pretty awesome.
**[01:19] Ashrina**
We owe Yuri a debt of gratitude
**[01:21] Ashrina**
and would never turn down an opportunity
to help fight the Black King.
**[01:26] Ashrina**
Farrah, I'd like you to find Musica
and bring her here.
**[01:30] Ashrina**
Can you do that?
**[01:31] Farrah**
Understood.
**[01:32] Phoena**
May I go with her?
**[01:34] Ashrina**
Of course.
**[01:36] A**
Your Majesty! Kalifa!
**[01:38] Kalifa**
Keep it down. What are you yelling for?
**[01:41] A**
An army...
**[01:43] A**
An army approaches bearing
the banner of the Nine Territories!
**[01:45] A**
We estimate they number roughly 10,000 men.
**[01:47] Kalifa**
The Nine Territories?
**[01:48] Aram**
It's that damn Shuza.
**[01:51] Kalifa**
Your Majesty, we must ready the army.
**[01:54] A**
Wait, please.
**[01:55] A**
Another army, also numbering 10,000,
has already appeared to face them.
**[02:01] Ashrina**
Another army?
**[02:05] Ashrina**
The Holy Guard of the Holy Kingdom.
**[02:08] Ashrina**
Led by Holy Queen Juliana!
***SIGN*** The Flower in the Desert
**[03:58] Juliana**
They have yet to make a move.
**[03:59] A**
They must be waiting to see what we do first.
**[04:03] A**
Shall we send messengers?
**[04:05] B**
None of the messengers we sent have returned.
**[04:10] B**
I suspect it would be of no use.
**[04:12] Juliana**
The same thing happened with our messengers.
**[04:16] Juliana**
*We may have no choice but to fight.*
**[04:19] Kalifa**
Hold your positions!
**[04:22] Kalifa**
I bring a message from Ashrina,
Queen of the Desert.
**[04:26] Kalifa**
If you fight now,
neither party will leave unscathed.
**[04:31] Kalifa**
That being the case,
**[04:33] Kalifa**
should you not settle this with words,
rather than with swords?
**[04:37] Kalifa**
We of the Lake of Sand
will provide a venue for you to talk.
**[04:41] Kalifa**
Bring one hundred men each.
**[04:44] Kalifa**
Sending troops to die before we face the
Black King would be the height of stupidity.
**[04:49] Kalifa**
Neither the Holy Queen nor the
distinguished leaders of the Nine Territories
**[04:54] Kalifa**
could be so foolish as to do such a thing.
**[04:57] Kalifa**
I trust that you will accept
this offer graciously.
**[05:01] A**
Preposterous.
**[05:03] A**
Shall we shoot him down?
**[05:05] Shuza**
No.
**[05:06] Shuza**
This sounds amusing.
**[05:07] Shuza**
We will accept their offer.
**[05:09] A**
But...
**[05:09] Shuza**
I want to know just how that girl has
the gall to call herself the Holy Queen.
**[05:14] Shuza**
Taking her down can wait until after that.
**[05:18] A**
Will you accept their offer, then?
**[05:20] Juliana**
Yes. This is an unexpected opportunity.
**[05:23] Juliana**
If we can successfully negotiate
with them, we all win.
**[05:26] Juliana**
Let's go, Einslotte.
**[05:28] ---**
Yes, Your Majesty.
**[05:32] Kalifa**
Your Majesty the Holy Queen.
**[05:34] Kalifa**
I am Kalifa, aide to Her Majesty Ashrina.
**[05:39] Kalifa**
I congratulate you on your coronation.
**[05:43] Juliana**
Thank you for your gracious welcome.
**[05:46] Juliana**
Forgive us for arriving
unannounced with an army.
**[05:49] Kalifa**
There is nothing to forgive.
**[05:53] Aram**
Hey, long time.
**[05:55] Juliana**
Aram?!
**[05:58] Juliana**
Why are you here?
**[05:59] Aram**
Why, you ask?
**[06:01] Aram**
To save Yuri and take down
the Black King, of course.
**[06:07] Juliana**
All right.
**[06:08] Juliana**
I'm sure Yuri will appreciate it.
**[06:12] Juliana**
Let's do our best, Aram.
**[06:15] Aram**
Hey, don't treat me like a kid.
**[06:23] Aram**
So, you've come.
**[06:31] Aram**
H-Hey, don't ignore me!
**[06:34] Juliana**
Aram.
**[06:35] Juliana**
Leave this to us.
**[06:48] Phoena**
She should be around here somewhere.
**[07:05] Juliana**
What?
**[07:07] Juliana**
Are you telling me to give up the throne?
**[07:11] Shuza**
No.
**[07:12] Shuza**
You're free to call yourself
the Holy Queen or whatever.
**[07:15] Shuza**
But you will forfeit your command
over the Holy Guard.
**[07:19] Juliana**
I could never.
**[07:21] Juliana**
I would no longer be the Holy Queen.
**[07:24] Shuza**
Oh?
**[07:25] Shuza**
Not only was your flag bearer, Yuri,
defeated by the Black King,
**[07:30] Shuza**
he has also succumbed to the darkness.
**[07:34] Shuza**
I've also heard that one of your men
has blackened and become a demon.
**[07:39] Shuza**
You aren't fit for the role.
**[07:42] Shuza**
Something that you yourself are well aware of.
**[07:46] Shuza**
That's why you put off taking the throne and
left others to do your job, was it not?
**[07:51] Juliana**
Well...
**[07:56] Shuza**
Well?
**[07:57] Shuza**
Well what, Holy Queen Juliana?
**[08:01] Juliana**
Shuza, you're...
**[08:06] Kalifa**
*This doesn't look good.*
**[08:08] Kalifa**
*Shuza is an expert at provoking people.*
**[08:10] Kalifa**
*This won't end well.*
**[08:13] A**
We're under attack!
**[08:16] Kalifa**
What's going on?
**[08:18] ---**
Sir! The Black Army has arrived!
**[08:33] Shuza**
Looks like I'll have to take care of them
before I deal with the Holy Queen.
**[08:40] Juliana**
They picked the worst possible time to attack!
**[08:42] A**
Shall we mobilize the troops we left behind?
**[08:45] Juliana**
No, we will take them out
with what we have here.
**[08:50] A**
This looks like it's going to be fun.
**[09:03] Shuza**
You...
**[09:30] A**
Die.
**[09:50] Shuza**
You're an interesting puppet.
**[10:01] Burckhardt**
What a pathetic sight.
**[10:03] Burckhardt**
How sad.
**[10:05] Juliana**
Burckhardt.
**[10:06] Burckhardt**
I heard you'd ascended to the throne.
**[10:09] Burckhardt**
Shall I congratulate you, Juliana?
**[10:16] Burckhardt**
You seem so miserable now.
**[10:20] Burckhardt**
Is the crown of the Holy Queen that heavy?
**[10:24] Burckhardt**
You're so pitiful, I can't bear to watch.
**[10:35] A**
Your Majesty!
**[10:43] Burckhardt**
You have such fire within you.
**[10:46] Burckhardt**
Why hold it back?
**[10:48] Burckhardt**
Why not do as you wish?
**[10:50] Burckhardt**
Just like how you cast me aside!
**[10:58] Juliana**
No.
**[10:59] Juliana**
I...
**[11:01] Juliana**
It was for your own good.
**[11:02] Burckhardt**
I don't need your excuses.
**[11:04] Burckhardt**
Whatever you thought you were doing,
**[11:07] Burckhardt**
all that matters is what I felt
and what it resulted in.
**[11:12] Burckhardt**
You're far too pathetic as you are now.
**[11:15] Burckhardt**
You couldn't hope defeat Shuza,
let alone our master, the Black King.
**[11:19] Burckhardt**
I don't want to see you like this anymore.
**[11:25] A**
I'll take care of him.
**[11:32] Aram**
Old man.
**[11:33] Kalifa**
You're alive? Good, very good.
**[11:35] Kalifa**
Do you happen to know
where Shuza and Juliana are?
**[11:38] Aram**
No idea.
**[11:39] Aram**
Not in all this chaos.
**[11:40] Kalifa**
Damn it.
**[11:42] Kalifa**
I didn't want to let them out of my sight.
**[11:45] Kalifa**
Given the situation, there's no telling
what sort of accidents might happen.
**[11:51] Aram**
Accidents?
**[11:52] Kalifa**
Those two are like oil and water.
**[11:54] Kalifa**
They'll likely never come
to an understanding,
**[11:57] Kalifa**
and they both know that.
**[11:59] Kalifa**
Should this battle present them with
the chance to strike the other down,
**[12:03] Kalifa**
what do you think will happen?
**[12:08] Kalifa**
And if one of them were to be killed,
**[12:12] Kalifa**
a bloodbath would surely follow.
**[12:15] Aram**
I won't let that happen.
**[12:35] Shuza**
How strange.
**[12:46] Juliana**
If only...
**[12:47] Juliana**
If only it weren't for you!
**[12:50] Shuza**
You took the words
right out of my mouth.
**[12:57] Juliana**
Why do you stand in my way, Shuza?
**[13:00] Shuza**
You're the one in my way.
**[13:03] Shuza**
An incompetent girl like you,
calling herself the Holy Queen?
**[13:06] Shuza**
Don't make me laugh!
**[13:12] Juliana**
You know nothing of me.
**[13:14] Juliana**
You have no idea how hard it was
for me to make that decision!
**[13:23] Juliana**
Shuza, I'm going to defeat you!
**[13:25] Juliana**
If I do that...
**[13:29] Juliana**
No, I have to!
**[13:32] Juliana**
Or else I...
**[13:41] Shuza**
Damn brat.
**[13:45] Shuza**
It's you who shall die!
**[14:03] A**
My...
**[14:17] A**
How amusing.
**[14:31] Aram**
Stop!
**[15:18] Juliana**
What was I...
**[15:20] Aram**
You two nearly let the blackness
engulf you just now.
**[15:25] Aram**
You should have noticed sooner, idiots.
**[15:27] A**
Good grief.
**[15:32] A**
You're a stubborn lot.
**[15:35] Burckhardt**
Too bad. Juliana nearly became one of us.
**[15:46] Burckhardt**
Do you resist, Juliana?
**[15:48] Burckhardt**
Despite the freedom we have on this side?
**[15:54] Aram**
Shut up, Burckhardt.
**[15:56] Aram**
I remember what you said.
**[15:58] Aram**
"The next time we meet will be your last."
**[16:01] Aram**
Well, it's time to keep that promise!
**[16:06] Burckhardt**
I'll shut that big mouth of yours, brat!
**[16:14] Juliana**
Aram!
**[16:17] Aram**
Old man Kalifa told me.
**[16:20] Aram**
If either you or Shuza die, there's no
telling what will happen to your men.
**[16:26] Aram**
So...
**[16:29] Aram**
I'm not letting you die!
**[16:39] ---**
What?
**[16:44] A**
I'll kill anyone in my way.
**[16:53] Aram**
Furball!
**[17:13] Phoena**
Guardian dragon of the Lake of Sand,
bestow upon us the light of hope.
**[17:35] A**
Break through the darkness.
**[17:37] A**
You can do it, Aram.
**[18:33] Aram**
Furball?
**[18:34] A**
A guardian dragon?
**[18:44] A**
Tch. They have the upper hand here.
**[18:46] A**
Burckhardt!
**[18:58] Aram**
Hey.
**[19:02] Aram**
Give back the Chronicle.
**[19:04] Aram**
You don't deserve it.
**[19:32] Aram**
The Chronicle...
**[19:34] Juliana**
It turned white again.
**[19:48] Phoena**
Thank you, Aram.
**[19:52] Phoena**
Furball.
**[19:54] Phoena**
Damn it, you surprised me!
**[19:56] Phoena**
You were a guardian dragon?
**[19:58] Phoena**
Thanks, though.
**[20:00] Phoena**
You saved us.
**[20:08] A**
You're Musica, correct?
**[20:10] B**
We've come for you.
**[20:12] Musica**
For me?
**[20:13] A**
Yeah.
**[20:14] B**
The sword that cuts through the darkness
needs you your help.
**[20:22] Aram**
Juliana.
**[20:26] Aram**
I'm going to kick the Black King's ass
**[20:30] Aram**
and bring Yuri back.
**[20:32] Aram**
So help me out.
**[20:35] Aram**
No, *please* help me.
**[20:36] Aram**
I beg you!
**[20:42] Juliana**
No, I should be the one asking you.
**[20:46] Juliana**
Please allow the Holy Guard
to join the Suppression Army.
**[20:51] Juliana**
May we?
**[20:54] Aram**
Yeah.
**[20:56] Aram**
Of course.
**[20:59] Juliana**
May the gods bless the Suppression Army.
**[21:02] Juliana**
And the Volunteer Army.
**[21:08] Phoena**
Aram.
**[21:10] Aram**
Good news, Phoena.
**[21:11] Aram**
The Holy Guard is going to help us.
**[21:17] Juliana**
Shuza.
**[21:20] Juliana**
I apologize for attempting
such a cowardly attack.
**[21:24] Juliana**
But we're even, are we not?
**[21:27] Juliana**
I'm sure you understand now.
**[21:29] Juliana**
Join us.
**[21:35] Shuza**
I'll travel my own path.
**[21:39] Juliana**
Shuza...
**[21:51] A**
Are you sure we should let him go?
**[21:53] Juliana**
Yes.
**[21:54] Juliana**
I doubt he will stand in our way.
**[22:00] Aram**
All right.
**[22:02] Aram**
Let's go, everyone!
**[22:10] Aram**
Just you wait, Yuri.

**[00:19] Black King**
Humans reach out to the light,
the flame of hope burning in their hearts.
**[00:27] Black King**
But they're fated to only get so far.
**[00:34] Black King**
They just don't know it.
**[00:52] Black King**
Their ignorance guides this world
toward destruction,
**[01:00] Black King**
yet they don't realize it.
**[01:03] Black King**
They're unaware of this
tragic cycle that repeats itself
**[01:07] Black King**
each time one of them
is born into this world.
**[01:12] Black King**
I almost pity them.
***SIGN*** The Sword That Rends Darkness
**[03:28] Phoena**
How awful.
**[03:32] (Flashback) A**
Our research on
the artifact discovered in Maze Pass
**[03:37] (Flashback) A**
revealed that it was engraved
with a song that can rend evil asunder.
**[03:41] (Flashback) B**
We're going to need your help, Songstress.
**[03:44] (Flashback) C**
Then everything will be ready.
**[03:47] (Flashback) A**
Ready?
**[03:48] (Flashback) B**
Yeah.
**[03:49] (Flashback) B**
We're preparing something incredible
to take back the Imperial Capital.
**[03:55] Aram**
Is that...
**[03:59] Aram**
Is that an ark?
**[04:03] A**
A dragon.
**[04:05] Aram**
Hey!
**[04:06] A**
Aram!
**[04:13] B**
As you're aware, our situation
grows more desperate by the minute.
**[04:18] B**
No matter how many of
the Black Army we defeat,
**[04:20] B**
the fighting will not end
unless we defeat the Black King.
**[04:24] B**
The Black Element that engulfed
the Imperial Castle after the last battle
**[04:29] B**
has formed an even stronger
barrier than before,
**[04:31] B**
preventing us from getting
anywhere near the Black King.
**[04:36] B**
Therefore, we must first
destroy the barrier
**[04:40] B**
with the evil-rending song
engraved on the artifact.
**[05:03] A**
Magnificent!
**[05:05] A**
With this, we can take down the barrier.
**[05:08] Aram**
Are we going to have Musica
sing at the barrier?
**[05:11] A**
No, that wouldn't be effective.
**[05:15] A**
The quickest way to take the barrier down...
**[05:18] B**
...is to destroy it from the inside.
**[05:20] Aram**
From the inside?
**[05:21] B**
That's what the Ark is for.
**[05:23] B**
A great legacy of the Ancients,
**[05:25] B**
the "Ark" can teleport us anywhere instantly.
**[05:31] B**
We'll have the Songstress board it,
send her directly inside the barrier,
**[05:34] B**
destroy it from the inside,
**[05:37] B**
and open a path for
the Suppression Army to strike.
**[05:39] Aram**
Awesome.
**[05:41] B**
Of course it is.
**[05:42] B**
This Ark is the crowning achievement
of my magic technology.
**[05:46] B**
The once-in-a-lifetime magnum opus
of the Sage of Might.
**[05:51] A**
In order to put the Suppression Army within
striking distance of the Imperial Capital,
**[05:56] A**
we are currently marshaling our
scattered forces at front-line outposts.
**[06:09] A**
Also, we will have several people
board the Ark along with Musica.
**[06:14] A**
Including you, Phoena.
**[06:16] C**
We'll need the power of the Chain Chronicle.
**[06:20] Phoena**
Yes.
**[06:21] D**
Vorg and I, too.
**[06:25] D**
Velnar, Yuni, Katya and Clauss
will also be with us.
**[06:29] E**
Rolo, Kiki, you'll be handling the ship.
**[06:31] F**
That's reassuring.
**[06:33] B**
And Aram...
**[06:34] B**
You and the guardian dragon
will also go along.
**[06:37] Aram**
Got it.
**[06:40] Aram**
Are we leaving right away?
**[06:43] B**
No, not yet.
**[06:46] B**
First, we need to restart the dormant Ark
with this initializing magic.
**[06:50] B**
But it's going to take a little longer
to restart it completely.
**[06:54] B**
We didn't have much time, after all.
**[06:57] F**
It's mostly built using the junk
that Melchior's been excavating.
**[07:02] B**
You mean important relics.
**[07:04] C**
This is all-out war.
**[07:07] C**
Let's show the Black Army that
the world isn't done for just yet.
**[07:12] C**
Yeah!
**[07:25] Black King**
The time has come.
**[07:27] Black King**
This continent will fall.
**[07:30] Black King**
Does your conviction waver?
**[07:32] Black King**
Your former comrades are
about to turn black, into ash.
**[07:36] Black King**
How does that feel?
**[07:38] Yuri**
My mind is already made up.
**[07:43] Yuri**
I don't care if people turn to dust or ash.
**[07:47] Yuri**
If I can't protect them, I might as
well crush them with my own hands.
**[08:04] B**
Let's begin.
**[08:07] Phoena**
Okay.
**[08:18] A**
There we go.
**[08:20] Aram**
Sweet. The Hiramekimaru's squeaky clean.
**[08:24] A**
Looks like you've gained some
valuable experience.
**[08:28] A**
I can see it in your sword.
**[08:31] A**
I can see how you fought with
this sword, how you thought,
**[08:37] A**
and how you've lived your life.
**[08:41] A**
You've made it into a good sword.
**[08:46] A**
Aram.
**[08:49] A**
Thank you.
**[09:02] B**
What's that?
**[09:05] Juliana**
Aram delivered it to me.
**[09:08] Juliana**
We've lost many people we hold dear
in this long war.
**[09:15] Juliana**
But we can't mourn forever.
**[09:19] Juliana**
Those of us who have survived must cast
the light of hope upon the people again.
**[09:27] Juliana**
I don't know how long it'll take,
**[09:30] Juliana**
but we must start by defeating the Black King.
**[09:33] Juliana**
That's the first step.
**[09:35] Juliana**
We will prevail.
**[09:37] Juliana**
For the future of this land!
**[09:41] B**
Juliana...
**[09:45] Aram**
Velnar, you're back.
**[09:47] Velnar**
Yeah, I just returned.
**[09:49] Aram**
You're getting on the Ark, too, aren't you?
**[09:52] Velnar**
We need to talk.
**[09:54] Velnar**
Come with me.
**[09:59] Velnar**
Say, Aram, could you kill Yuri if you had to?
**[10:06] Velnar**
If you can't, then stay off the Ark.
**[10:11] Velnar**
Well?
**[10:15] Aram**
I'm going to bring Yuri back.
**[10:17] Velnar**
You're dreaming!
**[10:18] Velnar**
He's not Yuri anymore!
**[10:20] Aram**
Velnar.
**[10:21] Aram**
Remember what you told me before?
**[10:23] Aram**
That once you look at the whole, you start
to see things you couldn't otherwise?
**[10:27] Velnar**
Yeah.
**[10:29] Aram**
Maybe I'm not seeing
the big picture at all yet.
**[10:32] Aram**
There's so much I don't know.
**[10:36] Aram**
But I do know what I need to do.
**[10:45] Velnar**
All right. Give it your best shot, then.
**[10:49] Aram**
Velnar!
**[10:50] Velnar**
I'll figure out the rest.
**[10:53] Aram**
Velnar!
**[10:54] Velnar**
What?
**[10:56] Aram**
Thanks.
**[10:58] Velnar**
Don't thank me until this is all over.
**[11:27] Aram**
Phoena?
**[11:28] Aram**
You're still awake?
**[11:31] Phoena**
I can't sleep.
**[11:33] Aram**
Me, neither. I was thinking about some stuff.
**[11:36] Phoena**
You're nervous, huh?
**[11:39] Aram**
Me?
**[11:42] Aram**
I guess.
**[11:44] Aram**
Maybe I am.
**[11:47] Phoena**
Even though he wouldn't show it, Yuri was
always nervous before a big fight, too.
**[11:54] Aram**
Oh?
**[11:56] Aram**
So this is how Yuri always felt.
**[12:01] Aram**
Hey, Phoena.
**[12:04] Aram**
Do you love Yuri?
**[12:10] Phoena**
W-Well, I...
**[12:24] Phoena**
I washed up on Yggdra after my homeland
was destroyed by the Black Army.
**[12:31] Phoena**
All I had left was this Chain Chronicle
my father gave me.
**[12:39] Phoena**
I wandered aimlessly for a while,
**[12:42] Phoena**
but then Yuri took me in.
He didn't ask any questions.
**[12:47] Phoena**
Ever since then, we traveled together,
fought together,
**[12:51] Phoena**
laughed together when we had fun,
**[12:54] Phoena**
and cried together when we were sad.
**[12:59] Phoena**
Thanks to Yuri, I felt like I belonged here.
**[13:08] Phoena**
So...
**[13:11] Phoena**
So to me, Yuri is...
**[13:14] Aram**
Same as me, then.
**[13:18] Aram**
That's why I'm grateful that I met him.
**[13:20] Aram**
I love the guy, too.
**[13:23] Phoena**
That's not what...
**[13:25] Aram**
Did I get it wrong?
**[13:26] Phoena**
N-No, you didn't...
**[13:31] Aram**
Phoena.
**[13:34] Aram**
I'm going to bring Yuri back.
**[13:40] Aram**
I'm going to smack that idiot around
and make him come to his senses.
**[13:46] Phoena**
Sounds good.
**[13:47] Phoena**
I'll slap him around a bit with you.
**[14:01] Aram**
What?!
**[14:43] Phoena**
Aram!
**[14:45] Burckhardt**
For my master.
**[14:48] Aram**
Get away from Phoena!
**[14:53] Burckhardt**
Stay out of my way.
**[14:55] Aram**
Run, Phoena!
**[14:56] ---**
Right!
**[14:58] Burckhardt**
You're not going anywhere.
**[15:10] Aludra**
Are you all right?
**[15:12] Phoena**
Aludra!
**[15:14] A**
Get behind me.
**[15:16] Phoena**
Okay.
**[15:18] Aram**
Why are you here?
**[15:19] Burckhardt**
I see no need to answer you.
**[15:30] Velnar**
Pay attention!
**[15:36] A**
Let's go.
**[15:37] B**
Crush them!
**[15:47] C**
Damn it! Can't they see I'm busy?
**[15:52] Aludra**
Melchior, will we be able to launch?
**[15:55] C**
Yeah, I'll have us good to go by sunrise.
**[15:57] Aludra**
We can't wait.
**[15:58] Aludra**
We're setting out immediately.
**[16:01] C**
What?
**[16:02] Aludra**
Our surprise attack is a bust,
now that they've seen us.
**[16:05] Aludra**
We're going to have to charge in.
**[16:09] C**
I like it.
**[16:12] B**
Can you do it?
**[16:13] C**
Who do you think I am?
**[16:21] D**
Are you serious?
**[16:23] E**
Count me in.
**[16:24] D**
Oh, jeez.
**[16:26] D**
Guys, don't let them through here.
**[16:30] A**
We've come under demon attack.
**[16:32] A**
We're going to begin the operation early.
**[16:35] A**
Please take the main force and head
to the Imperial Capital immediately.
**[16:40] Juliana**
All forces, move out.
**[16:42] Juliana**
To the Imperial Capital!
**[16:47] Aludra**
How's the preparation coming?
**[16:48] B**
Getting there.
**[16:49] Aludra**
All right.
**[16:50] Aludra**
In the meantime,
we'll clear the deck of enemies.
**[16:55] Aludra**
Where's Musica?
**[17:05] A**
Songstress!
**[17:10] Aludra**
Clauss, can you escort Musica?
**[17:15] Clauss**
I can't.
**[17:16] Clauss**
I have my hands full.
**[17:18] Vorg**
There're too many of them!
**[17:27] Burckhardt**
I told you to stay out of my way.
**[17:29] Aram**
You're not getting past me!
**[17:39] Aludra**
Melchior, how much longer?
**[17:40] B**
Almost done.
**[17:47] A**
All right.
**[17:48] C**
We're ready.
**[17:49] Aludra**
We're moving out as soon
as Musica is on board.
**[17:51] D**
Understood.
**[17:57] A**
The Ark!
**[17:58] C**
Hurry.
**[17:59] A**
Prepare for teleportation.
**[18:01] B**
Yeah.
**[18:17] A**
The Black Element!
**[18:18] B**
What?
**[18:19] C**
We're losing power.
**[18:21] A**
Can we supplement it?
**[18:23] B**
Not possible.
**[18:29] Aludra**
There's no end to them.
**[18:32] Aludra**
My mana...
**[18:33] Aram**
Aludra.
**[18:36] A**
No, you don't!
**[18:48] Aludra**
Aram!
**[18:49] Aram**
Use this!
**[18:56] Aludra**
What in the world is this mana?
**[18:59] Aludra**
With this power, though...
**[19:08] A**
That Aludra sure is something.
**[19:11] B**
It's turning blacker by the second.
**[19:13] C**
Oh, no.
**[19:14] Aram**
I'm not done yet.
**[19:29] A**
I've got your back!
**[19:30] Aludra**
Prepare to depart.
**[19:31] B**
But it's blackening.
**[19:33] Aludra**
Leave it to Aram.
**[19:36] Phoena**
Aram...
**[19:42] A**
We're almost there!
**[20:01] A**
Go!
**[20:04] Aram**
Start already!
**[20:29] Aludra**
Launch!
**[20:35] Burckhardt**
The Chronicle!
**[20:39] Burckhardt**
You...
**[20:54] Melchior**
Perfect!
**[21:26] Aram**
It's the Imperial Castle.
**[21:27] Aram**
We did it, guys!
**[21:34] Aram**
I'm counting on you, Furball!
**[21:40] Aram**
Phoena!
**[21:45] Burckhardt**
The Chain Chronicle belongs to my master.
**[21:51] Aram**
Phoena!

**[00:01] A**
Hurry!
**[00:02] A**
Holy Guard and Holy Psalm
take the right wing.
**[00:05] A**
Holy Blade take the left.
**[00:07] A**
The cavalry will lead the attack.
**[00:09] A**
Hold attack formation
and head to the front line.
**[00:13] B**
Show the Black Army
the true might of the Holy Blade!
**[00:20] Juliana**
Einslotte, status?
**[00:23] Einslotte**
Given the scale of the operation,
it will take some more time.
**[00:26] Einslotte**
I'm told we've also lost contact
with the Sage's Tower.
**[00:30] Juliana**
Yes, ever since they informed us that
they'd be setting out in the Ark.
**[00:35] Juliana**
But they will come.
**[00:37] Juliana**
We're going to trust them
and do everything we can.
**[00:40] Einslotte**
Yes, ma'am.
**[00:44] A**
What is that?
**[00:46] Juliana**
The Ark?
**[01:33] Einslotte**
Your Majesty, what's going on?
**[03:31] Einslotte**
According to our plans,
**[03:33] Einslotte**
the barrier was supposed to have been
neutralized as soon as the Ark arrived.
**[03:37] Einslotte**
This is not good.
**[03:57] Aram**
Furball!
**[04:03] Musica**
Aram.
**[04:04] Aram**
Musica.
**[04:05] Aram**
You're safe.
**[04:07] A**
As if we'd go down that easily.
**[04:09] Aram**
Guys...
**[04:11] B**
I thought we were done for.
**[04:16] Aram**
But...
**[04:17] Aram**
Phoena's...
**[04:18] Velnar**
We can rescue her after
we take out the Black King.
**[04:24] Velnar**
The battle's only beginning.
**[04:27] Aram**
Right.
**[04:29] Aram**
Musica.
**[04:30] Musica**
Leave it to me.
**[04:31] Aram**
Furball, take care of Musica.
**[04:35] Aludra**
We'll also fight alongside you here.
**[04:37] B**
Let's hurry up and get that barrier down.
**[04:40] B**
The guys waiting outside
must be getting impatient.
**[04:43] A**
We'll push through to the Imperial Castle.
**[04:45] B**
Understood. I'll give it all I've got.
**[04:48] Velnar**
Can't wait. I like a good challenge.
**[04:50] Aram**
We're gonna save them.
**[04:52] Aram**
Both Yuri and Phoena.
**[04:54] Aram**
Let's get this show back on the road!
**[05:47] A**
This song...
**[05:52] Einslotte**
Your Majesty.
**[05:55] Juliana**
All troops, charge!
**[06:24] Eirenus**
What an annoying song.
**[06:27] Eirenus**
Why do this when they know they'll lose again?
**[06:31] Eirenus**
They never learn.
**[06:35] King**
Ridiculous.
**[06:54] (Flashback) Phoena**
Thank you for accommodating my request.
**[06:58] (Flashback) Melchior**
Ancient magic passed down through
the family of the Chronicle's caretakers.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Melchior**
That was quite interesting.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Melchior**
I've made some adjustments to
maximize its effectiveness.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Melchior**
Therefore, should you use the seal,
your life will be forfeit.
**[07:16] (Flashback) Phoena**
I understand.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Phoena**
In a way, this represents my resolve.
**[07:31] Phoena**
Yuri.
**[07:32] Phoena**
Please!
**[07:34] Phoena**
Snap out of it!
**[07:35] Phoena**
Yuri!
**[07:43] Yuri**
Take the Chronicle to the King.
**[07:46] Phoena**
No!
**[07:50] Phoena**
Yuri...
**[07:52] Phoena**
Stop.
**[07:53] King**
It's no use.
**[07:54] King**
He has already become blackness incarnate.
**[07:57] King**
Your words will not reach him.
**[08:12] King**
I've found you.
**[08:14] King**
I knew you were hiding here, winged sprite.
**[08:19] Phoena**
No...
**[08:20] Phoena**
Pirika?
**[08:25] King**
There's nowhere left to hide.
**[08:27] King**
With this, all hope will be lost,
**[08:30] King**
and the world will be engulfed in darkness.
**[08:35] Phoena**
Why do you seek to destroy the world?
**[08:38] Phoena**
What good does that do you, Black King?
**[08:43] Phoena**
Answer me, Father!
**[08:53] A**
Too slow.
**[08:54] Velnar**
Bring it on!
**[08:57] Clauss**
Well, at least he's having fun.
**[09:07] Velnar**
Aram!
**[09:13] A**
Freeze!
**[09:15] B**
Its leg!
**[09:22] Velnar**
Get going, Aram!
**[09:24] Velnar**
We'll leave Yuri up to you!
**[09:27] Velnar**
Don't you dare forget what you told me!
**[09:37] Phoena**
Aram...
**[09:39] King**
The white light that child emits is an eyesore.
**[09:44] King**
But that's why he would be especially
powerful if he were to be dyed black.
**[09:51] King**
Black Knight.
**[09:55] Yuri**
I know.
**[09:56] Yuri**
It's my job to fight him.
**[10:04] Juliana**
Our left flank is weakening.
**[10:06] Juliana**
Send in the Holy Mark to reinforce them.
**[10:08] A**
Yes, Your Majesty!
**[10:09] Juliana**
Musica's song is our anthem!
**[10:11] Juliana**
Follow it to victory!
**[10:15] A**
Looks like you've started to
get the hang of it, Princess.
**[10:28] B**
Don't let your guard down, old man.
**[10:31] A**
Who are you calling an old man?
**[10:33] C**
Look.
**[10:43] Eirenus**
It's about time to end this.
**[10:49] Juliana**
Don't falter.
**[10:50] Juliana**
Go!
**[10:56] Einslotte**
I'm taking you down!
**[11:06] Eirenus**
Very well.
**[11:08] Eirenus**
Let's settle this.
**[11:13] Burckhardt**
This simply won't do.
**[11:14] Burckhardt**
Her Majesty, the Holy Queen herself,
shouldn't be on the front lines.
**[11:19] Einslotte**
Your Majesty!
**[11:21] Eirenus**
I thought you were fighting *me*.
**[11:26] Juliana**
Burckhardt...
**[11:44] Burckhardt**
You're looking well.
**[11:49] Burckhardt**
Has leaving the Suppression Army
in Aram's hands
**[11:54] Burckhardt**
lightened your burden, Holy Queen?
**[12:05] Juliana**
I suppose.
**[12:07] Burckhardt**
You admit it?
**[12:09] Juliana**
Yes. I'll admit it.
**[12:11] Juliana**
It seems I was never fit for this after all.
**[12:14] Juliana**
But, that being the case,
I've decided I have to do what I can.
**[12:24] Burckhardt**
What you can, you say?
**[12:27] Burckhardt**
It's too late.
**[12:29] Burckhardt**
It's your naivety that made me like this!
**[12:43] Burckhardt**
Are you still trying avoid responsibility
for your actions?
**[12:52] Juliana**
I'm not trying to avoid anything.
**[12:55] Juliana**
Certainly, I was probably responsible
for allowing this to happen.
**[12:58] Juliana**
But you see, Burckhardt,
**[13:02] Juliana**
a person's strengths and weaknesses
are ultimately their own.
**[13:10] Juliana**
We all have to come to terms
with that in our lives.
**[13:17] Juliana**
Nothing meaningful can come of
basing your self-worth on others.
**[13:24] Burckhardt**
Nonsense!
**[13:44] Juliana**
The Holy Knight who wore that is no more.
**[13:48] Juliana**
He was an exemplary knight.
**[13:50] Juliana**
I wish he would have stayed to help me.
**[13:54] Burckhardt**
Juliana...
**[13:56] Burckhardt**
You...
**[13:58] Juliana**
I've already decided
I won't run from anything.
**[14:04] Juliana**
If it's my fault that you've ended up this way,
**[14:11] Juliana**
then I'll end you myself.
**[14:16] Juliana**
That's the way I take responsibility.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Einslotte**
Congratulations, Burckhardt.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Einslotte**
You're a member of the Holy Guard now.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Burckhardt**
Sir.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Burckhardt**
Thank you.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Einslotte**
You were at the top of
the selection exams, I see.
**[14:43] (Flashback) Einslotte**
Do you have a preferred post?
**[14:45] (Flashback) Burckhardt**
I will become a member of
the King's Sword someday.
**[14:49] (Flashback) Burckhardt**
I hope to serve Juliana.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Einslotte**
You want to become one of us?
**[14:55] (Flashback) Einslotte**
I like your determination.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Einslotte**
She's a rewarding person to serve.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Burckhardt**
I believe so, too.
**[15:34] Burckhardt**
*That's right.*
**[15:39] Burckhardt**
*I...*
**[16:24] Phoena**
The Chronicle...
**[16:26] King**
Now...
**[16:28] King**
It's the beginning of the end.
**[16:32] A**
New enemies.
**[16:47] Aludra**
What?!
**[16:49] A**
The blackness is getting stronger.
**[17:01] Phoena**
What have you done?
**[17:04] Phoena**
Looks like I really have to...
**[17:24] Aram**
Yuri.
**[17:27] Yuri**
I've abandoned that name.
**[17:32] Aram**
I'm bringing you back,
even if I have to beat you down.
**[17:36] Aram**
Yuri!
**[17:41] A**
I can't hear Musica's song.
**[17:43] B**
Don't tell me...
**[17:46] Aram**
I looked up to you.
**[17:48] Aram**
You were the one who brought me this far.
**[17:51] Aram**
How could you end up like this?
**[17:56] Aram**
Say something, Yuri!
**[18:00] Yuri**
I told you, I've abandoned that name.
**[18:08] Aram**
Right.
**[18:09] Aram**
You ran away.
**[18:14] Aram**
Traveling with you, I came to
understand you a little bit.
**[18:19] Aram**
There are all kinds of people around you.
**[18:22] Aram**
They all depend on you.
**[18:24] Aram**
And so you tried to live up to them.
**[18:28] Aram**
To their expectations.
**[18:30] Aram**
All of them.
**[18:33] Aram**
Isn't that right?
**[18:34] Aram**
Even I expected great things from you.
**[18:38] Aram**
I had no idea how much of
a burden that was on you.
**[18:44] Aram**
But listen, Yuri,
**[18:46] Aram**
you don’t need to live up to the expectations
of each and every person.
**[18:51] Aram**
Just be yourself!
**[18:53] Aram**
Just do what you want to do!
**[18:56] Aram**
Tell me, Yuri!
**[18:58] Aram**
What is it that you want to do?
**[19:01] Yuri**
I desire nothing.
**[19:07] Yuri**
All I have now is my black destiny.
**[19:10] Yuri**
The impulse to destroy everything
and end it all.
**[19:25] Einslotte**
Juliana, look!
**[19:29] Juliana**
The barrier...
**[19:30] Einslotte**
We'll lose our line of retreat
if it regenerates!
**[19:39] Aram**
Damn it.
**[19:41] Aram**
How did you end up this way?
**[19:44] Aram**
Damn it, Yuri!
**[19:45] Yuri**
Your sword, your words...
they lack weight.
**[19:50] Yuri**
Strength is meaningless without resolve.
**[19:56] (Flashback) Velnar**
Can you kill him?
**[20:01] Aram**
*I see.*
**[20:04] (Flashback) Aram**
I'm going to bring Yuri back.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Aram**
I'm going to make him come to his senses.
**[20:08] (Flashback) Aram**
We're gonna save them.
**[20:10] Aram**
* No one would fear falling to the blackness*
* if words were all it took to stop it.*
**[20:16] Aram**
*That won't cut it.*
**[20:18] Aram**
*It's not enough.*
**[20:20] Aram**
*I need to be prepared to kill.*
**[20:24] Aram**
*To be killed.*
**[20:27] Aram**
*And then some.*
**[20:30] Aram**
*But can I do it?*
**[20:36] Eirenus**
You never had a chance.
**[20:39] Eirenus**
There was no way you could defeat
the power of blackness.
**[20:42] Eirenus**
Now, give it up.
**[20:44] Juliana**
No, I will never...
**[20:48] Aram**
...give up!
**[20:50] Aram**
It's not whether I can do it or not.
**[20:55] Aram**
I *will* do it!
**[21:01] Juliana**
We must support them with all our strength.
**[21:04] Juliana**
Stay strong, and we can still win.
**[21:07] A**
Yes.
**[21:08] B**
Show them what the Holy Guard is made of.
**[21:11] Einslotte**
You're no match to our united strength.
**[21:18] Eirenus**
Is that what you call
the strength of bonds?
**[21:22] Eirenus**
Gross.
**[21:26] Eirenus**
I'll break them for you!
**[21:34] Einslotte**
Juliana!
**[21:48] Juliana**
Shuza?
**[21:49] Juliana**
Why?
**[21:53] Shuza**
Charge!
**[22:01] Aram**
The next blow...
**[22:04] Yuri**
...will settle this.

**[00:04] Aludra**
Musica!
**[00:15] Musica**
Thank you.
**[00:21] Aludra**
I'll protect us, no matter the cost.
***SIGN*** The Light of Haecceitas
**[00:52] Shuza**
Is the boy in the castle?
**[00:54] Juliana**
Yes.
**[00:55] Juliana**
He went to get Yuri.
**[00:58] Eirenus**
That's impossible.
**[00:59] Eirenus**
Once you become a demon,
there's no turning back.
**[01:03] Shuza**
So what?
**[01:06] Shuza**
He had the guts to run his mouth off at me.
**[01:10] Shuza**
He'd better be able to
make the impossible possible.
**[01:13] Shuza**
Otherwise there would be no point
in giving him the Chronicle.
**[01:17] Eirenus**
Shuza...
**[01:18] Eirenus**
Have you been turned, too?
**[01:22] Eirenus**
Bonds...
**[01:27] Eirenus**
..are nothing but trouble.
**[01:42] Eirenus**
Serves you right.
**[01:46] Eirenus**
You get hurt because you
try to protect others.
**[02:00] Shuza**
I care not about bonds.
**[02:02] Shuza**
I acknowledge only the strong.
**[02:07] Eirenus**
What drivel.
**[02:08] Eirenus**
You're the same as everyone else.
**[02:13] Eirenus**
You might as well die with the rest of them.
**[02:17] Shuza**
Is that all you have to say?
**[02:21] Shuza**
I tire of this.
**[02:27] Shuza**
Die.
**[02:40] Shuza**
*Bonds, my foot.*
**[02:49] King**
It's time.
**[02:51] King**
The end of the world is upon us.
**[02:54] King**
It's all over.
**[02:57] Phoena**
I won't let you end it yet.
**[03:00] Phoena**
Chronicle!
**[03:02] Phoena**
As your caretaker, I call upon you!
**[03:18] Phoena**
I'll take it all upon myself.
**[03:22] King**
At the cost of your life?
**[03:26] King**
But all that will gain you
is a fleeting moment.
**[03:30] Phoena**
I don't care if it doesn't last long.
**[03:35] Phoena**
I still believe!
**[03:41] Aram**
* If that black armor is*
* made out of Black Element,*
**[03:45] Aram**
*it should be the same as the castle barrier.*
**[03:47] Aram**
*In which case...*
**[03:55] Aram**
I'll destroy it from the inside!
**[03:57] Yuri**
It's no use.
**[04:12] Yuri**
I have no need of the light anymore.
**[04:31] A**
I'll heal him right away!
**[04:34] Yuri**
You...
**[04:38] Aram**
Kain.
**[04:40] Aram**
You're alive!
**[04:41] Kain**
A scratch like that wasn't enough to kill me.
**[04:44] A**
Give me a break.
**[04:46] A**
It was a close call.
**[04:48] Aram**
I'm so glad you're here, guys.
**[04:51] A**
Of course we are.
**[04:53] B**
The Volunteer Army always
helps those in need.
**[04:56] C**
If someone falls,
then someone else props them up.
**[04:59] C**
That's how we've always fought.
**[05:02] C**
Isn't that right, Captain?
**[05:05] Aram**
Yuri, you aren't alone.
**[05:09] Aram**
We're all with you.
**[05:11] Aram**
We'll all give you a hand.
**[05:13] Aram**
That's what friends are for!
**[05:19] A**
Looks like he won't come to his senses
unless we get that armor off of him.
**[05:25] B**
We may have to get a bit rough.
**[05:28] C**
Prepare yourself, Captain.
**[05:32] Aram**
I'm never going to give up on you!
**[05:34] Yuri**
Shut up!
**[05:39] A**
Anything you can't bear by yourself,
we'll bear with you.
**[05:51] B**
Snap out of it!
**[05:57] C**
I believe in you, Captain!
**[06:07] ---**
Aram!
**[06:09] Aram**
Come back to us, you idiot!
**[06:30] Yuri 2**
You're not thinking of going back, are you?
**[06:35] Yuri 2**
The crimes I've committed can't be undone.
**[06:37] Yuri 2**
I'm a tainted sinner.
**[06:40] Yuri 2**
I'll only be rejected!
**[06:45] Yuri 2**
Surely you understand.
**[06:47] Yuri 2**
You could never believe in
yourself until the end.
**[06:51] Yuri 2**
That's your weakness.
**[06:54] Yuri 2**
You lost.
**[06:55] Yuri 2**
To yourself.
**[07:01] Yuri 2**
It all ended.
**[07:03] Yuri 2**
In this world of darkness.
**[07:05] Yuri**
And yet...
**[07:09] Yuri**
Their light reached me
as I sunk deep into the darkness.
**[07:15] Yuri**
I want to believe once more.
**[07:18] Yuri**
In them, and in myself,
the me that they believe in.
**[07:25] Yuri 2**
Believe?
**[07:26] Yuri 2**
After all that happened?
**[07:28] Yuri 2**
You gave rise to me because
you lacked belief.
**[07:32] Yuri 2**
I am the very weakness of your own heart.
**[07:35] Yuri 2**
A scar that will never heal!
**[07:38] Yuri 2**
A wound that's turned black
will continue to rot.
**[07:43] Yuri**
That's exactly why I...
**[07:58] Yuri**
I'll take the wound with me to battle.
**[08:01] Yuri**
That's my way of atoning.
**[08:22] Yuri**
Let's go...
**[08:23] Yuri**
Together.
**[08:38] Aram**
Yuri!
**[08:40] A**
Captain!
**[09:07] King**
Foolish.
**[09:09] King**
I can just stain it all black
as many times as I need.
**[09:23] Yuri**
Phoena!
**[09:27] A**
We need to heal her immediately.
**[09:33] Phoena**
Yuri...?
**[09:36] Phoena**
Thank goodness.
**[09:38] Phoena**
You came back to us.
**[09:41] Yuri**
Phoena...
**[09:55] King**
You...
**[09:57] Aram**
Black King.
**[09:58] Aram**
We're going to crush you.
**[10:03] King**
I knew it. That power...
**[10:05] King**
It's the Light of Haecceitas,
a light that rends darkness.
**[10:10] King**
What a nuisance.
**[10:12] King**
Die!
**[10:27] Aram**
Kain!
**[10:28] Aram**
Michidia!
**[10:39] Yuri**
Aram!
**[10:41] King**
Have you resigned yourself
to accepting this world again?
**[10:45] Yuri**
No.
**[10:47] Yuri**
I'm going to defeat you and stop
the world's blackening once and for all!
**[10:51] King**
Don't make me laugh!
**[10:54] Aram**
No, you don't!
**[11:00] Yuri**
I won't waver ever again!
**[11:13] King**
I will not grant you a future.
**[11:20] King**
Since time immemorial,
**[11:24] King**
people have formed bonds with
and hurt one another.
**[11:28] King**
The cycle of wrongdoings creates hatred,
**[11:32] King**
culminating in stagnation,
making the world suffer.
**[11:37] King**
Therefore I exist, to paint
the world's stagnation black.
**[11:59] Aram**
Furball.
**[12:47] Aram**
Damn it.
**[12:48] Yuri**
I'll pin him down.
**[12:50] Yuri**
Distract him in the meantime.
**[12:53] Aram**
Got it.
**[13:27] Aram**
Yuri!
**[13:44] Aram**
Furball!
**[14:06] Aram**
Furball...
**[14:13] Yuri**
Aram!
**[14:17] King**
Why?
**[14:20] King**
Why do you resist so?
**[14:26] King**
Humanity is imperfect, foolish, and hopeless.
**[14:33] King**
A sorry existence that repeats
its mistakes over and over.
**[14:38] King**
That is why I must save the world.
**[14:43] King**
From its grief.
**[14:46] King**
I must recreate it...
**[14:50] King**
A new future.
**[14:54] Yuri**
You're wrong.
**[14:56] Yuri**
The future exists beyond
those mistakes and that sorrow.
**[15:01] Yuri**
Unless we overcome them, there's no point!
**[15:04] King**
That is utterly foolish!
**[15:17] Aram**
Give me a break!
**[15:20] Aram**
Yeah, we may be a bunch of fools.
**[15:23] Aram**
But I love it.
**[15:26] Aram**
I love this world, with all the people in it.
**[15:28] Aram**
Each one of us tries our hardest to live,
**[15:31] Aram**
to find a place where we belong,
**[15:34] Aram**
to make friends, and help each other.
**[15:37] Aram**
I won't let you destroy those bonds!
**[15:49] A**
He's right.
**[15:52] A**
We aren't alone.
**[15:54] B**
We had each other.
**[15:56] C**
That's why we never gave up.
**[15:58] Yuri**
We'll create our own future.
**[16:02] Yuri**
Create not a cycle of hatred and grief,
**[16:06] Yuri**
but bonds!
**[16:08] King**
Absurd!
**[16:10] Yuri**
So long as we have these bonds,
we'll never lose.
**[16:15] Yuri**
Take this.
**[16:18] Yuri**
We will...
**[16:27] Yuri**
Seize our light!
**[16:27] Yuri**
Seize our light!
**[16:50] King**
Has the world chosen you?
**[17:22] A**
Phoena.
**[17:24] Yuri**
Phoena!
**[17:25] B**
Phoena!
**[17:28] Phoena**
Phoena.
**[17:29] Phoena**
Phoena!
**[17:31] Aram**
Phoena!
**[17:37] ---**
Phoena!
**[17:39] Aram**
Hang in there.
**[17:41] Aram**
I'll save you.
**[17:44] Aram**
No matter what!
**[17:47] King**
It's no use.
**[17:51] Aram**
You...
**[17:53] King**
You cannot save her.
**[17:58] King**
Not even with your power.
**[18:03] King**
Now, Chain Chronicle! As your caretaker,
I call upon you to heed my request!
**[18:15] King**
Save her.
**[18:17] King**
Save my daughter's life.
**[18:20] King**
My ray of hope!
**[18:38] King**
I leave the rest in your hands.
**[18:59] Aram**
Phoena.
**[19:23] Pirika**
Wake up, Phoena.
**[19:40] Pirika**
It's all right now, Phoena.
**[19:46] Pirika**
I believed in all of you.
**[19:49] Pirika**
I knew you wouldn't lose hope.
**[19:51] Yuri**
Pirika.
**[19:58] Phoena**
Pirika.
**[20:01] Phoena**
Welcome back.
**[20:05] Pirika**
I'm home, everyone.
**[20:29] Musica**
It seems our song was heard.
**[20:33] Musica**
Our wish.
**[20:39] Juliana**
We are victorious.
**[20:41] Juliana**
Rejoice!
**[21:40] Phoena**
*Father...*
**[21:43] (Flashback) King**
Even as caretaker, I was consumed
by the will of the blackness.
**[21:49] (Flashback) King**
I've done unforgivable things.
**[21:54] (Flashback) King**
Please, use the true power of the Chronicle
to rebuild the world I've destroyed.
**[22:05] (Flashback) Phoena**
Yes.
**[22:12] (Flashback) King**
You've become strong.
**[22:14] (Flashback) King**
And you've made good friends.
**[22:31] Pirika**
Phoena.
**[22:35] Pirika**
We're setting sail soon.
**[22:49] B**
Really.
**[22:50] B**
My son's talking about
joining the Holy Guard now.
**[22:54] C**
That’s amazing.
**[22:54] A**
He's dreaming.
**[22:58] A**
What?
**[23:01] Aram**
Two apples, pops.
**[23:03] A**
Let go!
**[23:04] B**
Thanks.
**[23:14] Aram**
It's on me.
**[23:16] Aram**
Where are your friends?
**[23:18] A**
I don't have any.
**[23:21] Aram**
I see.
**[23:22] A**
Aram.
**[23:25] A**
Hurry up.
**[23:29] Aram**
Want to come with us?
