**[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?
