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