[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!
