**[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!
**[02:54] A**
So then...
**[02:55] B**
Yeah.
**[02:57] B**
Marina's keeping Kain's wound closed for now,
**[03:01] B**
but we'll need help from other healers
to heal him fully.
**[03:10] A**
You!
**[03:11] A**
Why are you here?
**[03:16] Shuza**
I could ask you the same thing.
**[03:22] Shuza**
The man who was your leader
has fallen to the blackness.
**[03:27] Shuza**
The so-called Suppression Army is over.
**[03:29] Shuza**
Begone.
**[03:31] A**
Say that again!
**[03:32] B**
We have no reason to listen to you,
Lord of the Nine Territories.
**[03:36] Shuza**
Yes, you do.
**[03:38] Shuza**
Members of the Sorcerer's Army,
if you still have the will to fight, join me.
**[03:46] Shuza**
I'm the only one who can use
your might to its fullest.
**[03:52] B**
You? *Use* us?
**[03:53] B**
You're certainly confident in yourself.
**[03:55] B**
Unfortunately, I don't think
you could handle us.
**[04:01] Shuza**
Then do as you wish.
**[04:03] Shuza**
But if you ever get in my way,
be you a member of the Sorcerer's Army,
**[04:09] Shuza**
or a sage of the Sage's Tower,
I will show no mercy.
**[04:14] Shuza**
Keep that in mind.
**[04:16] Aram**
The Suppression Army isn't even
close to being finished yet.
**[04:19] Aram**
Don't go deciding things for us,
you damn ogre.
**[04:22] Aram**
Give back the Chain Chronicle.
**[04:24] Aram**
It doesn't belong to you.
**[04:25] A**
Show some respect!
**[04:27] Shuza**
Gotten a bit big for your britches, brat?
**[04:30] Shuza**
Or has being betrayed just made you desperate?
**[04:33] Aram**
Yuri never betrayed us.
**[04:35] Shuza**
Listen to yourself.
**[04:37] Shuza**
He was defeated.
**[04:38] Shuza**
He abandoned you and joined the Black King.
**[04:41] Shuza**
What is that if not betrayal?
**[04:45] Aram**
It's nothing.
**[04:46] Aram**
Yuri's just a bit lost right now.
**[04:49] Aram**
He's waiting for us to come help him.
**[04:53] Aram**
He always believed in his friends.
**[04:57] Aram**
In his bonds with his friends.
**[04:59] Aram**
That friends would always come
to help when you're lost.
**[05:03] Aram**
Those bonds are still there.
**[05:05] Aram**
It's our turn to carry him this time.
**[05:11] Shuza**
You're going to bring him back?
**[05:13] Aram**
Yeah.
**[05:17] Shuza**
Nonsense, brat.
**[05:26] Shuza**
Interesting.
**[05:27] Shuza**
Then try it, brat.
**[05:30] Shuza**
But you'd better hurry.
**[05:32] Shuza**
Before I kill him first.
**[05:35] Aram**
I won't let you.
**[05:38] Aram**
The Chain Chronicle is mine now.
**[05:41] Aram**
If you want it back,
you'll have to take it by force.
**[05:52] Black**
I've been waiting for you, Yuri.
**[05:54] Black**
Or should I say, Black Knight?
**[05:57] Black**
The darkness has welcomed you.
**[06:01] Black**
How does it feel to follow what
lies in the depths of your heart?
**[06:08] Yuri**
I came here once to save the world.
**[06:12] Yuri**
But only because I was
bound by fate to do so.
**[06:16] Yuri**
I fought hopelessly without ever
finding a reason to save this world.
**[06:21] Yuri**
This time, I will challenge the world.
**[06:25] Yuri**
If it falls to me—to the blackness—
**[06:29] Yuri**
then it was never worth saving to begin with.
**[06:31] Yuri**
It ought to crumble.
**[06:36] A**
We'll return to the Sage's Tower
to report on this matter.
**[06:41] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[06:44] A**
I'm amazed you talked back to Shuza like that.
**[06:47] A**
You're going to die young.
**[06:49] Aram**
How so?
**[06:50] Aram**
I just did the obvious.
**[06:53] B**
"Obvious", he says!
**[06:55] B**
I like this kid!
**[06:58] A**
This is a grave state of affairs for us.
**[07:02] A**
But I'm glad you're with us, Aram.
**[07:06] A**
It could be that Yuri was...
**[07:11] A**
It's nothing.
**[07:12] A**
Never mind.
**[07:13] Phoena**
Please look after Kain, Marina.
**[07:18] Marina**
Yes.
**[07:20] A**
There are plenty of talented healers in
the Healer's Guild at the Vice Capital.
**[07:24] A**
I'm sure Marina will be able to keep
him alive until you reach them.
**[07:28] Marina**
I won't let Kain die.
**[07:32] A**
So where are you and Phoena going next?
**[07:35] Aram**
Oh, about that...
**[07:36] A**
Are you going to Soul Island, as planned?
**[07:40] Phoena**
Yes.
**[07:41] Phoena**
I believe it's our best option.
**[07:45] A**
Telling you to cheer up
probably doesn't help,
**[07:48] A**
but at least, try not to
blame yourself too much.
**[07:50] Phoena**
I'll be fine.
**[07:51] Phoena**
We'll figure it out.
**[07:53] Phoena**
Like Aram said, it's our
turn to do what we can.
**[07:59] A**
You're right.
**[08:10] A**
Let's go.
**[08:16] Aram**
All right.
**[08:17] Aram**
Let's get going too, Phoena.
**[08:20] Aram**
Phoena?
**[08:22] Phoena**
Oh, right.
***SIGN*** Legendary Songstress
Musica
**[09:26] Aram**
What's up? Are you hungry?
**[09:31] Aram**
What is it?
**[09:34] Aram**
Are you worried?
**[09:36] Aram**
I'm fine.
**[09:37] Aram**
I'm not down or anything.
**[09:39] Aram**
But, like, I can tell Phoena's
really pushing herself.
**[09:45] Aram**
It's weird, isn't it?
**[09:47] Aram**
I never thought about other
people until I met Yuri.
**[09:54] Aram**
It didn't even matter to me
if the people around me died.
**[09:59] Aram**
Everyone's alone in the end, I thought.
**[10:03] Aram**
But now...
**[10:07] Phoena**
Aram.
**[10:09] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[10:11] Phoena**
I feel refreshed.
**[10:13] Aram**
Th-That... That's great.
**[10:15] Phoena**
Why don't you take a bath, too?
**[10:17] Aram**
Y-Yeah.
**[10:18] Aram**
Oh, yeah.
**[10:20] Aram**
Dinner's ready.
**[10:21] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[10:25] Phoena**
It's delicious.
**[10:27] Aram**
Really? That's good to hear.
**[10:28] Phoena**
You might be a better cook than me.
**[10:31] Aram**
No way.
**[10:32] Aram**
Your cooking is good, too.
**[10:35] Phoena**
I know that's not true.
**[10:37] Phoena**
You and Yuri were the only ones
who ever said my cooking was good.
**[10:45] Aram**
Hey, Phoena, tell me about Yuri.
**[10:49] Aram**
You've been traveling with him
for a lot longer than I have.
**[10:53] Aram**
I want to learn more about him.
**[10:55] Aram**
Oh yeah, I told you about
the weird man we met
**[10:58] Aram**
while we were snowed in
in the mountains, right?
**[11:00] Aram**
Baltazari, was it?
**[11:03] Aram**
He said that Yuri defeated a dragon once.
**[11:08] Aram**
Was that for real?
**[11:11] Phoena**
Yes.
**[11:12] Phoena**
But I'd rather not talk about it.
**[11:15] Aram**
Why not?
**[11:16] Aram**
Taking down a dragon sounds awesome!
**[11:18] Aram**
I bet it was an amazing adventure!
**[11:21] Phoena**
No, it wasn't!
**[11:24] Phoena**
It really wasn't.
**[11:26] Phoena**
The dragon he defeated was blackened.
**[11:35] Phoena**
That dragon used to be known
as the Guardian of the Desert.
**[11:40] Phoena**
But at some point it may have been
exposed to the blackness.
**[11:43] Phoena**
It had become tainted black.
***SIGN*** Desert Commander
Farrah
**[12:31] (Flashback) Dragon**
To think that I, once known as
the Guardian of the Desert,
**[12:34] (Flashback) Dragon**
would wreak chaos upon it.
**[12:38] (Flashback) Farrah**
You've come to your senses?
**[12:40] (Flashback) Dragon**
For now.
**[12:42] (Flashback) Dragon**
Hero, finish me.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Phoena**
Wait!
**[12:47] (Flashback) Phoena**
We don't need to take your life.
**[12:49] (Flashback) Dragon**
It is only right.
**[12:51] (Flashback) Dragon**
To make the people of the desert
suffer defies my true nature.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Dragon**
To perish here is thus my fate.
**[13:02] (Flashback) Dragon**
Now, do it.
**[13:04] (Flashback) Dragon**
While I am still myself.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Yuri**
Farrah...
**[13:11] (Flashback) Farrah**
Finish him.
**[13:16] Yuri**
Thank you for protecting the desert city.
**[13:21] Yuri**
Rest well.
**[13:28] Phoena**
There was nothing we could do to
save the dragon from the blackness.
**[13:34] Phoena**
All we could do was put him out of his misery.
**[13:41] Phoena**
Why?
**[13:43] Phoena**
Why couldn't I stop him?
**[13:46] Phoena**
I knew Yuri was suffering.
**[13:51] Aram**
Phoena...
**[13:52] Phoena**
I was the closest to him.
**[13:56] Phoena**
So why?
**[13:57] Phoena**
He's a kind person.
**[13:59] Phoena**
He's too kind.
**[14:02] Phoena**
And we forced him to fight.
**[14:09] Phoena**
Is that where we went wrong?
**[14:12] Phoena**
Forcing the weight of all this
on his shoulders?
**[14:14] Phoena**
Is that why he—
**[14:16] Aram**
No!
**[14:17] Aram**
There's no way that's true!
**[14:19] Aram**
It's all the Black King's fault for
attacking people where they're vulnerable.
**[14:22] Aram**
Isn't it?
**[14:25] Phoena**
Then my sin is even worse...
**[14:36] Phoena**
Why does the darkness take everyone?
**[14:41] Phoena**
Is that our inevitable fate?
**[14:46] Phoena**
If that's so, does this world
deserve to be engulfed in black?
**[14:50] Aram**
Of course not!
**[14:52] Phoena**
But...
**[14:55] Aram**
Phoena...
**[14:58] Aram**
Before I met Yuri, I thought
he must be really strong.
**[15:05] Aram**
He had no powerful supporters
or anything backing him.
**[15:07] Aram**
Despite that, he made it all the way to being
the captain of the Volunteer Army,
**[15:10] Aram**
But after meeting him,
I realized he wasn't anything like that.
**[15:15] Aram**
That's when I finally understood
that no one is strong through and through.
**[15:19] Aram**
Everyone has weaknesses.
**[15:21] Aram**
But...
**[15:24] Aram**
But that's why we make friends!
**[15:30] Aram**
We're friends.
**[15:32] Aram**
We're going to take Yuri back.
**[15:34] Aram**
We can do it.
**[15:35] Aram**
We have strong bonds.
**[15:38] Aram**
Don't we, Phoena?
**[15:54] Aram**
It'll be all right.
**[15:56] Aram**
It'll be all right, Phoena.
**[16:12] Aram**
Bonds, huh?
**[16:15] Aram**
I only realized after you were gone...
**[16:19] Aram**
Just how heavy and painful they can be.
**[16:45] Juliana**
*Looks like we can breathe easy for now.*
**[16:47] A**
Yes.
**[16:49] A**
Marina can finally get some sleep, too.
**[16:57] Juliana**
That goes for you, too,
does it not, Michidia?
**[17:00] A**
*I'm fine.*
**[17:02] A**
I want to be by Kain's side when he wakes.
**[17:09] B**
Juliana.
**[17:11] B**
I heard.
**[17:12] B**
Is it true?
**[17:14] B**
Yuri has fallen to the blackness?
**[17:17] Juliana**
Yes, it appears so.
**[17:19] B**
No...
**[17:20] B**
First Burckhardt, and now Yuri?
**[17:24] B**
It's bad enough that Shuza
has turned against us.
**[17:28] B**
And now this?
**[17:30] B**
Why are we faced with so many tribulations?
**[17:33] Juliana**
Raise your head, Einslotte.
**[17:36] Juliana**
There's no point in grieving
about what's already happened.
**[17:41] Juliana**
I intend to meet with Shuza immediately.
**[17:45] Juliana**
The situation we have with him
requires the utmost urgency.
**[17:49] Juliana**
Listen, such chaotic times call for the
initiative to find a path to the future.
**[17:57] Juliana**
That is the duty of she who wears
the crown of the Holy Queen.
**[18:02] Juliana**
Is that not true?
**[18:03] B**
No, you are absolutely correct, Juliana.
**[18:07] B**
I mean, Your Majesty.
**[18:10] Juliana**
*That's right.*
**[18:11] Juliana**
*I have to act.*
**[18:14] Juliana**
* It's my responsibility*
* to protect the people.*
**[18:17] Juliana**
* If Shuza, or if Yuri in his*
* blackened state, stand in my way,*
**[18:25] Juliana**
*I will take them down with my own hands.*
**[18:26] Juliana**
*I am the Holy Queen.*
**[18:32] Shidoh**
I come with a garrison of two thousand
men who were holding ground
**[18:35] Shidoh**
in the Nine Territories.
***SIGN*** Cruel Swordsman
Shidoh
**[18:37] Shidoh**
We plan to meet with many more.
**[18:41] A**
Good job, Shidoh.
**[18:45] A**
We now have over 5,000 men.
**[18:50] Shuza**
We need more.
**[18:52] Shuza**
To defeat the Black King and
become the lords of this continent,
**[18:58] Shuza**
we will need more men.
**[19:00] Shuza**
More strong men.
**[19:06] A**
Well, well, well, this is interesting.
**[19:10] A**
Clearly, this is not just any old artifact.
**[19:15] B**
What is the text engraved on this sword?
**[19:17] A**
A song.
**[19:18] A**
With this, we can make something
very interesting indeed.
**[19:22] B**
"Make"?
**[19:24] A**
All we need now...
**[19:27] C**
We've returned.
**[19:30] B**
My, you're back early.
**[19:34] B**
How is the Suppression Army…
**[19:42] D**
No... Yuri...
**[19:47] E**
This may be a necessary trial
in order to create new light.
**[19:52] A**
New light?
**[19:54] B**
What is that?
**[19:55] E**
It is still but a small possibility.
**[19:58] E**
But there is something that must be done
to make it as certain as possible.
**[20:04] E**
I have a favor to ask of you.
**[20:15] Aram**
So that's Soul Island.
**[20:18] Phoena**
Yes.
**[20:19] Phoena**
There, we will surely...
