**[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!
***SIGN*** Torn Apart
**[04:34] A**
So then...
**[04:35] B**
Yeah.
**[04:37] B**
Marina's keeping Kain's wound closed for now,
**[04:41] B**
but we'll need help from other healers
to heal him fully.
**[04:50] A**
You!
**[04:51] A**
Why are you here?
**[04:56] Shuza**
I could ask you the same thing.
**[05:02] Shuza**
The man who was your leader
has fallen to the blackness.
**[05:07] Shuza**
The so-called Suppression Army is over.
**[05:09] Shuza**
Begone.
**[05:11] A**
Say that again!
**[05:12] B**
We have no reason to listen to you,
Lord of the Nine Territories.
**[05:16] Shuza**
Yes, you do.
**[05:18] Shuza**
Members of the Sorcerer's Army,
if you still have the will to fight, join me.
**[05:26] Shuza**
I'm the only one who can use
your might to its fullest.
**[05:31] B**
You? *Use* us?
**[05:33] B**
You're certainly confident in yourself.
**[05:35] B**
Unfortunately, I don't think
you could handle us.
**[05:41] Shuza**
Then do as you wish.
**[05:43] Shuza**
But if you ever get in my way,
be you a member of the Sorcerer's Army,
**[05:48] Shuza**
or a sage of the Sage's Tower,
I will show no mercy.
**[05:54] Shuza**
Keep that in mind.
**[05:56] Aram**
The Suppression Army isn't even
close to being finished yet.
**[05:59] Aram**
Don't go deciding things for us,
you damn ogre.
**[06:01] Aram**
Give back the Chain Chronicle.
**[06:04] Aram**
It doesn't belong to you.
**[06:05] A**
Show some respect!
**[06:07] Shuza**
Gotten a bit big for your britches, brat?
**[06:10] Shuza**
Or has being betrayed just made you desperate?
**[06:13] Aram**
Yuri never betrayed us.
**[06:15] Shuza**
Listen to yourself.
**[06:17] Shuza**
He was defeated.
**[06:18] Shuza**
He abandoned you and joined the Black King.
**[06:21] Shuza**
What is that if not betrayal?
**[06:25] Aram**
It's nothing.
**[06:26] Aram**
Yuri's just a bit lost right now.
**[06:29] Aram**
He's waiting for us to come help him.
**[06:33] Aram**
He always believed in his friends.
**[06:37] Aram**
In his bonds with his friends.
**[06:39] Aram**
That friends would always come
to help when you're lost.
**[06:43] Aram**
Those bonds are still there.
**[06:45] Aram**
It's our turn to carry him this time.
**[06:51] Shuza**
You're going to bring him back?
**[06:53] Aram**
Yeah.
**[06:57] Shuza**
Nonsense, brat.
**[07:06] Shuza**
Interesting.
**[07:07] Shuza**
Then try it, brat.
**[07:09] Shuza**
But you'd better hurry.
**[07:12] Shuza**
Before I kill him first.
**[07:15] Aram**
I won't let you.
**[07:18] Aram**
The Chain Chronicle is mine now.
**[07:21] Aram**
If you want it back,
you'll have to take it by force.
**[07:32] Black**
I've been waiting for you, Yuri.
**[07:34] Black**
Or should I say, Black Knight?
**[07:37] Black**
The darkness has welcomed you.
**[07:41] Black**
How does it feel to follow what
lies in the depths of your heart?
**[07:47] Yuri**
I came here once to save the world.
**[07:52] Yuri**
But only because I was
bound by fate to do so.
**[07:56] Yuri**
I fought hopelessly without ever
finding a reason to save this world.
**[08:01] Yuri**
This time, I will challenge the world.
**[08:05] Yuri**
If it falls to me—to the blackness—
**[08:09] Yuri**
then it was never worth saving to begin with.
**[08:11] Yuri**
It ought to crumble.
**[08:16] A**
We'll return to the Sage's Tower
to report on this matter.
**[08:21] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[08:24] A**
I'm amazed you talked back to Shuza like that.
**[08:27] A**
You're going to die young.
**[08:29] Aram**
How so?
**[08:30] Aram**
I just did the obvious.
**[08:33] B**
"Obvious", he says!
**[08:35] B**
I like this kid!
**[08:38] A**
This is a grave state of affairs for us.
**[08:42] A**
But I'm glad you're with us, Aram.
**[08:46] A**
It could be that Yuri was...
**[08:51] A**
It's nothing.
**[08:52] A**
Never mind.
**[08:53] Phoena**
Please look after Kain, Marina.
**[08:58] Marina**
Yes.
**[09:00] A**
There are plenty of talented healers in
the Healer's Guild at the Vice Capital.
**[09:04] A**
I'm sure Marina will be able to keep
him alive until you reach them.
**[09:08] Marina**
I won't let Kain die.
**[09:12] A**
So where are you and Phoena going next?
**[09:15] Aram**
Oh, about that...
**[09:16] A**
Are you going to Soul Island, as planned?
**[09:20] Phoena**
Yes.
**[09:21] Phoena**
I believe it's our best option.
**[09:25] A**
Telling you to cheer up
probably doesn't help,
**[09:28] A**
but at least, try not to
blame yourself too much.
**[09:30] Phoena**
I'll be fine.
**[09:31] Phoena**
We'll figure it out.
**[09:33] Phoena**
Like Aram said, it's our
turn to do what we can.
**[09:39] A**
You're right.
**[09:50] A**
Let's go.
**[09:56] Aram**
All right.
**[09:57] Aram**
Let's get going too, Phoena.
**[10:00] Aram**
Phoena?
**[10:01] Phoena**
Oh, right.
**[11:06] Aram**
What's up? Are you hungry?
**[11:11] Aram**
What is it?
**[11:13] Aram**
Are you worried?
**[11:16] Aram**
I'm fine.
**[11:17] Aram**
I'm not down or anything.
**[11:19] Aram**
But, like, I can tell Phoena's
really pushing herself.
**[11:25] Aram**
It's weird, isn't it?
**[11:27] Aram**
I never thought about other
people until I met Yuri.
**[11:34] Aram**
It didn't even matter to me
if the people around me died.
**[11:39] Aram**
Everyone's alone in the end, I thought.
**[11:43] Aram**
But now...
**[11:47] Phoena**
Aram.
**[11:49] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[11:51] Phoena**
I feel refreshed.
**[11:53] Aram**
Th-That... That's great.
**[11:55] Phoena**
Why don't you take a bath, too?
**[11:57] Aram**
Y-Yeah.
**[11:58] Aram**
Oh, yeah.
**[12:00] Aram**
Dinner's ready.
**[12:01] Phoena**
Thank you.
**[12:05] Phoena**
It's delicious.
**[12:07] Aram**
Really? That's good to hear.
**[12:08] Phoena**
You might be a better cook than me.
**[12:11] Aram**
No way.
**[12:12] Aram**
Your cooking is good, too.
**[12:15] Phoena**
I know that's not true.
**[12:17] Phoena**
You and Yuri were the only ones
who ever said my cooking was good.
**[12:25] Aram**
Hey, Phoena, tell me about Yuri.
**[12:29] Aram**
You've been traveling with him
for a lot longer than I have.
**[12:33] Aram**
I want to learn more about him.
**[12:35] Aram**
Oh yeah, I told you about
the weird man we met
**[12:38] Aram**
while we were snowed in
in the mountains, right?
**[12:40] Aram**
Baltazari, was it?
**[12:43] Aram**
He said that Yuri defeated a dragon once.
**[12:48] Aram**
Was that for real?
**[12:51] Phoena**
Yes.
**[12:52] Phoena**
But I'd rather not talk about it.
**[12:54] Aram**
Why not?
**[12:56] Aram**
Taking down a dragon sounds awesome!
**[12:58] Aram**
I bet it was an amazing adventure!
**[13:01] Phoena**
No, it wasn't!
**[13:04] Phoena**
It really wasn't.
**[13:06] Phoena**
The dragon he defeated was blackened.
**[13:15] Phoena**
That dragon used to be known
as the Guardian of the Desert.
**[13:20] Phoena**
But at some point it may have been
exposed to the blackness.
**[13:23] Phoena**
It had become tainted black.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Dragon**
To think that I, once known as
the Guardian of the Desert,
**[14:14] (Flashback) Dragon**
would wreak chaos upon it.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Farrah**
You've come to your senses?
**[14:20] (Flashback) Dragon**
For now.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Dragon**
Hero, finish me.
**[14:26] (Flashback) Phoena**
Wait!
**[14:27] (Flashback) Phoena**
We don't need to take your life.
**[14:29] (Flashback) Dragon**
It is only right.
**[14:31] (Flashback) Dragon**
To make the people of the desert
suffer defies my true nature.
**[14:36] (Flashback) Dragon**
To perish here is thus my fate.
**[14:41] (Flashback) Dragon**
Now, do it.
**[14:44] (Flashback) Dragon**
While I am still myself.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Yuri**
Farrah...
**[14:51] (Flashback) Farrah**
Finish him.
**[14:56] Yuri**
Thank you for protecting the desert city.
**[15:01] Yuri**
Rest well.
**[15:08] Phoena**
There was nothing we could do to
save the dragon from the blackness.
**[15:14] Phoena**
All we could do was put him out of his misery.
**[15:21] Phoena**
Why?
**[15:23] Phoena**
Why couldn't I stop him?
**[15:26] Phoena**
I knew Yuri was suffering.
**[15:31] Aram**
Phoena...
**[15:32] Phoena**
I was the closest to him.
**[15:36] Phoena**
So why?
**[15:37] Phoena**
He's a kind person.
**[15:39] Phoena**
He's too kind.
**[15:42] Phoena**
And we forced him to fight.
**[15:49] Phoena**
Is that where we went wrong?
**[15:52] Phoena**
Forcing the weight of all this
on his shoulders?
**[15:54] Phoena**
Is that why he—
**[15:56] Aram**
No!
**[15:57] Aram**
There's no way that's true!
**[15:59] Aram**
It's all the Black King's fault for
attacking people where they're vulnerable.
**[16:02] Aram**
Isn't it?
**[16:05] Phoena**
Then my sin is even worse...
**[16:16] Phoena**
Why does the darkness take everyone?
**[16:21] Phoena**
Is that our inevitable fate?
**[16:25] Phoena**
If that's so, does this world
deserve to be engulfed in black?
**[16:30] Aram**
Of course not!
**[16:31] Phoena**
But...
**[16:35] Aram**
Phoena...
**[16:38] Aram**
Before I met Yuri, I thought
he must be really strong.
**[16:45] Aram**
He had no powerful supporters
or anything backing him.
**[16:47] Aram**
Despite that, he made it all the way to being
the captain of the Volunteer Army.
**[16:50] Aram**
But after meeting him,
I realized he wasn't anything like that.
**[16:55] Aram**
That's when I finally understood
that no one is strong through and through.
**[16:59] Aram**
Everyone has weaknesses.
**[17:01] Aram**
But...
**[17:04] Aram**
But that's why we make friends!
**[17:10] Aram**
We're friends.
**[17:12] Aram**
We're going to take Yuri back.
**[17:14] Aram**
We can do it.
**[17:15] Aram**
We have strong bonds.
**[17:18] Aram**
Don't we, Phoena?
**[17:34] Aram**
It'll be all right.
**[17:35] Aram**
It'll be all right, Phoena.
**[17:52] Aram**
Bonds, huh?
**[17:55] Aram**
I only realized after you were gone...
**[17:59] Aram**
Just how heavy and painful they can be.
**[18:25] Juliana**
*Looks like we can breathe easy for now.*
**[18:27] A**
Yes.
**[18:29] A**
Marina can finally get some sleep, too.
**[18:37] Juliana**
That goes for you, too,
does it not, Michidia?
**[18:40] A**
*I'm fine.*
**[18:42] A**
I want to be by Kain's side when he wakes.
**[18:49] B**
Juliana.
**[18:51] B**
I heard.
**[18:52] B**
Is it true?
**[18:54] B**
Yuri has fallen to the blackness?
**[18:57] Juliana**
Yes, it appears so.
**[18:59] B**
No...
**[19:00] B**
First Burckhardt, and now Yuri?
**[19:04] B**
It's bad enough that Shuza
has turned against us.
**[19:08] B**
And now this?
**[19:10] B**
Why are we faced with so many tribulations?
**[19:13] Juliana**
Raise your head, Einslotte.
**[19:16] Juliana**
There's no point in grieving
about what's already happened.
**[19:21] Juliana**
I intend to meet with Shuza immediately.
**[19:25] Juliana**
The situation we have with him
requires the utmost urgency.
**[19:29] Juliana**
Listen, such chaotic times call for the
initiative to find a path to the future.
**[19:37] Juliana**
That is the duty of she who wears
the crown of the Holy Queen.
**[19:42] Juliana**
Is that not true?
**[19:43] B**
No, you are absolutely correct, Juliana.
**[19:47] B**
I mean, Your Majesty.
**[19:50] Juliana**
*That's right.*
**[19:51] Juliana**
*I have to act.*
**[19:53] Juliana**
* It's my responsibility*
* to protect the people.*
**[19:57] Juliana**
* If Shuza, or if Yuri in his*
* blackened state, stand in my way,*
**[20:05] Juliana**
*I will take them down with my own hands.*
**[20:06] Juliana**
*I am the Holy Queen.*
**[20:12] Shidoh**
I come with a garrison of two thousand
men who were holding ground
**[20:15] Shidoh**
in the Nine Territories.
**[20:17] Shidoh**
We plan to meet with many more.
**[20:21] A**
Good job, Shidoh.
**[20:25] A**
We now have over 5,000 men.
**[20:30] Shuza**
We need more.
**[20:32] Shuza**
To defeat the Black King and
become the lords of this continent,
**[20:38] Shuza**
we will need more men.
**[20:40] Shuza**
More strong men.
**[20:46] A**
Well, well, well, this is interesting.
**[20:50] A**
Clearly, this is not just any old artifact.
**[20:54] B**
What is the text engraved on this sword?
**[20:57] A**
A song.
**[20:58] A**
With this, we can make something
very interesting indeed.
**[21:02] B**
"Make"?
**[21:04] A**
All we need now...
**[21:07] C**
We've returned.
**[21:10] B**
My, you're back early.
**[21:14] B**
How is the Suppression Army…
**[21:22] D**
No... Yuri...
**[21:27] E**
This may be a necessary trial
in order to create new light.
**[21:32] A**
New light?
**[21:33] B**
What is that?
**[21:35] E**
It is still but a small possibility.
**[21:38] E**
But there is something that must be done
to make it as certain as possible.
**[21:44] E**
I have a favor to ask of you.
**[21:55] Aram**
So that's Soul Island.
**[21:58] Phoena**
Yes.
**[21:59] Phoena**
There, we will surely...
