[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.
SIGN    Ninth Lord
    Tsuru
[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.
[01:48] Phoena
    How awful.
[01:52] (Flashback) A
    Our research on
    the artifact discovered in Maze Pass
[01:57] (Flashback) A
    revealed that it was engraved
    with a song that can rend evil asunder.
[02:01] (Flashback) B
    We're going to need your help, Songstress.
[02:04] (Flashback) C
    Then everything will be ready.
[02:07] (Flashback) A
    Ready?
[02:08] (Flashback) B
    Yeah.
[02:09] (Flashback) B
    We're preparing something incredible
    to take back the Imperial Capital.
[02:16] Aram
    Is that...
[02:19] Aram
    Is that an ark?
[02:23] A
    A dragon.
[02:25] Aram
    Hey!
[02:26] A
    Aram!
[02:33] B
    As you're aware, our situation
    grows more desperate by the minute.
[02:38] B
    No matter how many of
    the Black Army we defeat,
[02:40] B
    the fighting will not end
    unless we defeat the Black King.
[02:45] B
    The Black Element that engulfed
    the Imperial Castle after the last battle
[02:49] B
    has formed an even stronger
    barrier than before,
[02:51] B
    preventing us from getting
    anywhere near the Black King.
[02:56] B
    Therefore, we must first
    destroy the barrier
[03:00] B
    with the evil-rending song
    engraved on the artifact.
[03:23] A
    Magnificent!
[03:25] A
    With this, we can take down the barrier.
[03:28] Aram
    Are we going to have Musica
    sing at the barrier?
[03:31] A
    No, that wouldn't be effective.
[03:35] A
    The quickest way to take the barrier down...
[03:38] B
    ...is to destroy it from the inside.
[03:40] Aram
    From the inside?
[03:41] B
    That's what the Ark is for.
[03:43] B
    A great legacy of the Ancients,
[03:45] B
    the "Ark" can teleport us anywhere instantly.
[03:51] B
    We'll have the Songstress board it,
    send her directly inside the barrier,
[03:54] B
    destroy it from the inside,
[03:57] B
    and open a path for
    the Suppression Army to strike.
[03:59] Aram
    Awesome.
[04:01] B
    Of course it is.
[04:02] B
    This Ark is the crowning achievement
    of my magic technology.
[04:06] B
    The once-in-a-lifetime magnum opus
    of the Sage of Might.
[04:11] A
    In order to put the Suppression Army within
    striking distance of the Imperial Capital,
[04:16] A
    we are currently marshaling our
    scattered forces at front-line outposts.
[04:29] A
    Also, we will have several people
    board the Ark along with Musica.
[04:34] A
    Including you, Phoena.
[04:36] C
    We'll need the power of the Chain Chronicle.
[04:40] Phoena
    Yes.
[04:41] D
    Vorg and I, too.
[04:45] D
    Velnar, Yuni, Katya and Clauss
    will also be with us.
[04:49] E
    Rolo, Kiki, you'll be handling the ship.
[04:51] F
    That's reassuring.
[04:53] B
    And Aram...
[04:54] B
    You and the guardian dragon
    will also go along.
[04:57] Aram
    Got it.
[05:00] Aram
    Are we leaving right away?
[05:03] B
    No, not yet.
[05:06] B
    First, we need to restart the dormant Ark
    with this initializing magic.
[05:10] B
    But it's going to take a little longer
    to restart it completely.
[05:14] B
    We didn't have much time, after all.
[05:17] F
    It's mostly built using the junk
    that Melchior's been excavating.
[05:22] B
    You mean important relics.
[05:24] C
    This is all-out war.
[05:27] C
    Let's show the Black Army that
    the world isn't done for just yet.
[05:32] C
    Yeah!
[05:45] Black King
    The time has come.
[05:47] Black King
    This continent will fall.
[05:50] Black King
    Does your conviction waver?
[05:52] Black King
    Your former comrades are
    about to turn black, into ash.
[05:56] Black King
    How does that feel?
[05:58] Yuri
    My mind is already made up.
[06:03] Yuri
    I don't care if people turn to dust or ash.
[06:07] Yuri
    If I can't protect them, I might as
    well crush them with my own hands.
[06:24] B
    Let's begin.
[06:27] Phoena
    Okay.
[06:38] A
    There we go.
[06:40] Aram
    Sweet. The Hiramekimaru's squeaky clean.
[06:44] A
    Looks like you've gained some
    valuable experience.
[06:48] A
    I can see it in your sword.
[06:51] A
    I can see how you fought with
    this sword, how you thought,
[06:57] A
    and how you've lived your life.
[07:01] A
    You've made it into a good sword.
[07:06] A
    Aram.
[07:09] A
    Thank you.
[07:22] B
    What's that?
[07:25] Juliana
    Aram delivered it to me.
[07:28] Juliana
    We've lost many people we hold dear
    in this long war.
[07:35] Juliana
    But we can't mourn forever.
[07:40] Juliana
    Those of us who have survived must cast
    the light of hope upon the people again.
[07:47] Juliana
    I don't know how long it'll take,
[07:50] Juliana
    but we must start by defeating the Black King.
[07:53] Juliana
    That's the first step.
[07:55] Juliana
    We will prevail.
[07:57] Juliana
    For the future of this land!
[08:01] B
    Juliana...
[08:05] Aram
    Velnar, you're back.
[08:07] Velnar
    Yeah, I just returned.
[08:09] Aram
    You're getting on the Ark, too, aren't you?
[08:12] Velnar
    We need to talk.
[08:14] Velnar
    Come with me.
[08:19] Velnar
    Say, Aram, could you kill Yuri if you had to?
[08:26] Velnar
    If you can't, then stay off the Ark.
[08:32] Velnar
    Well?
[08:35] Aram
    I'm going to bring Yuri back.
[08:37] Velnar
    You're dreaming!
[08:38] Velnar
    He's not Yuri anymore!
[08:40] Aram
    Velnar.
[08:41] Aram
    Remember what you told me before?
[08:43] Aram
    That once you look at the whole, you start
    to see things you couldn't otherwise?
[08:47] Velnar
    Yeah.
[08:49] Aram
    Maybe I'm not seeing
    the big picture at all yet.
[08:53] Aram
    There's so much I don't know.
[08:56] Aram
    But I do know what I need to do.
[09:05] Velnar
    All right. Give it your best shot, then.
[09:09] Aram
    Velnar!
[09:10] Velnar
    I'll figure out the rest.
[09:13] Aram
    Velnar!
[09:14] Velnar
    What?
[09:16] Aram
    Thanks.
[09:18] Velnar
    Don't thank me until this is all over.
[09:47] Aram
    Phoena?
[09:48] Aram
    You're still awake?
[09:51] Phoena
    I can't sleep.
[09:53] Aram
    Me, neither. I was thinking about some stuff.
[09:56] Phoena
    You're nervous, huh?
[09:59] Aram
    Me?
[10:02] Aram
    I guess.
[10:05] Aram
    Maybe I am.
[10:07] Phoena
    Even though he wouldn't show it, Yuri was
    always nervous before a big fight, too.
[10:14] Aram
    Oh?
[10:16] Aram
    So this is how Yuri always felt.
[10:21] Aram
    Hey, Phoena.
[10:24] Aram
    Do you love Yuri?
[10:30] Phoena
    W-Well, I...
[10:44] Phoena
    I washed up on Yggdra after my homeland
    was destroyed by the Black Army.
[10:51] Phoena
    All I had left was this Chain Chronicle
    my father gave me.
[10:59] Phoena
    I wandered aimlessly for a while,
[11:02] Phoena
    but then Yuri took me in.
    He didn't ask any questions.
[11:07] Phoena
    Ever since then, we traveled together,
    fought together,
[11:11] Phoena
    laughed together when we had fun,
[11:14] Phoena
    and cried together when we were sad.
[11:19] Phoena
    Thanks to Yuri, I felt like I belonged here.
[11:28] Phoena
    So...
[11:31] Phoena
    So to me, Yuri is...
[11:34] Aram
    Same as me, then.
[11:38] Aram
    That's why I'm grateful that I met him.
[11:40] Aram
    I love the guy, too.
[11:43] Phoena
    That's not what...
[11:45] Aram
    Did I get it wrong?
[11:46] Phoena
    N-No, you didn't...
[11:51] Aram
    Phoena.
[11:54] Aram
    I'm going to bring Yuri back.
[12:00] Aram
    I'm going to smack that idiot around
    and make him come to his senses.
[12:06] Phoena
    Sounds good.
[12:07] Phoena
    I'll slap him around a bit with you.
[12:21] Aram
    What?!
[13:03] Phoena
    Aram!
[13:05] Burckhardt
    For my master.
[13:08] Aram
    Get away from Phoena!
[13:13] Burckhardt
    Stay out of my way.
[13:15] Aram
    Run, Phoena!
[13:16] ---
    Right!
[13:18] Burckhardt
    You're not going anywhere.
[13:30] Aludra
    Are you all right?
[13:32] Phoena
    Aludra!
[13:34] A
    Get behind me.
[13:36] Phoena
    Okay.
[13:38] Aram
    Why are you here?
[13:39] Burckhardt
    I see no need to answer you.
[13:50] Velnar
    Pay attention!
[13:56] A
    Let's go.
[13:57] B
    Crush them!
[14:07] C
    Damn it! Can't they see I'm busy?
[14:12] Aludra
    Melchior, will we be able to launch?
[14:15] C
    Yeah, I'll have us good to go by sunrise.
[14:17] Aludra
    We can't wait.
[14:18] Aludra
    We're setting out immediately.
[14:21] C
    What?
[14:22] Aludra
    Our surprise attack is a bust,
    now that they've seen us.
[14:25] Aludra
    We're going to have to charge in.
[14:29] C
    I like it.
[14:32] B
    Can you do it?
[14:33] C
    Who do you think I am?
[14:41] D
    Are you serious?
[14:43] E
    Count me in.
[14:44] D
    Oh, jeez.
[14:46] D
    Guys, don't let them through here.
[14:50] A
    We've come under demon attack.
[14:52] A
    We're going to begin the operation early.
[14:55] A
    Please take the main force and head
    to the Imperial Capital immediately.
[15:00] Juliana
    All forces, move out.
[15:02] Juliana
    To the Imperial Capital!
[15:07] Aludra
    How's the preparation coming?
[15:08] B
    Getting there.
[15:09] Aludra
    All right.
[15:10] Aludra
    In the meantime,
    we'll clear the deck of enemies.
[15:15] Aludra
    Where's Musica?
[15:25] A
    Songstress!
[15:30] Aludra
    Clauss, can you escort Musica?
[15:35] Clauss
    I can't.
[15:36] Clauss
    I have my hands full.
[15:38] Vorg
    There're too many of them!
[15:47] Burckhardt
    I told you to stay out of my way.
[15:49] Aram
    You're not getting past me!
[15:59] Aludra
    Melchior, how much longer?
[16:00] B
    Almost done.
[16:07] A
    All right.
[16:08] C
    We're ready.
[16:09] Aludra
    We're moving out as soon
    as Musica is on board.
[16:11] D
    Understood.
[16:17] A
    The Ark!
[16:18] C
    Hurry.
[16:19] A
    Prepare for teleportation.
[16:21] B
    Yeah.
[16:37] A
    The Black Element!
[16:38] B
    What?
[16:39] C
    We're losing power.
[16:41] A
    Can we supplement it?
[16:43] B
    Not possible.
[16:49] Aludra
    There's no end to them.
[16:52] Aludra
    My mana...
[16:53] Aram
    Aludra.
[16:56] A
    No, you don't!
[17:08] Aludra
    Aram!
[17:09] Aram
    Use this!
[17:16] Aludra
    What in the world is this mana?
[17:19] Aludra
    With this power, though...
[17:28] A
    That Aludra sure is something.
[17:31] B
    It's turning blacker by the second.
[17:33] C
    Oh, no.
[17:34] Aram
    I'm not done yet.
[17:49] A
    I've got your back!
[17:50] Aludra
    Prepare to depart.
[17:51] B
    But it's blackening.
[17:53] Aludra
    Leave it to Aram.
[17:56] Phoena
    Aram...
[18:02] A
    We're almost there!
[18:21] A
    Go!
[18:24] Aram
    Start already!
[18:49] Aludra
    Launch!
[18:55] Burckhardt
    The Chronicle!
[18:59] Burckhardt
    You...
[19:14] Melchior
    Perfect!
[19:46] Aram
    It's the Imperial Castle.
[19:47] Aram
    We did it, guys!
[19:54] Aram
    I'm counting on you, Furball!
[20:00] Aram
    Phoena!
[20:05] Burckhardt
    The Chain Chronicle belongs to my master.
[20:11] Aram
    Phoena!
