[00:01] Mina
    We're here!
[00:03] Mina
    This is the home base of
    the Chronos Rulers...
[00:07] Mina
    Chronos!
[00:09] Snake
    I am Snake, head of the technology division.
[00:14] Snake
    It's preventing the flow
    of time out of your body!
[00:16] Snake
    This is most definitely the
    original Oath of Time...
[00:19] Snake
    Also known as UNIQUE!
[00:21] Snake
    This is... Slow Down?!
SIGN    Slow Down
[00:23] Mina
    Snake!
[00:24] Snake
    These are the master's orders.
[00:26] Victo
    I cant give you my life just yet.
[00:29] Mina
    Darling, wait!
[00:31] Victo
    If fate sees fit, I'll see you again.
[00:38] Kiri
    All the cards were destroyed at once?
[00:41] Kiri
    What did this?
[00:42] Blaze
    I'm not picky about how I achieve my goals.
[00:45] Blaze
    Cheating, deceiving, outwitting...
[00:47] Blaze
    I'm a villain to the core, after all.
[00:48] Kiri
    So he's a Chronos Ruler, too?
[00:50] Blaze
    Hey, now...
[00:52] Blaze
    You're a more interesting
    toy than I thought.
[00:56] Mina
    Victor was fixated on
    reclaiming the time he's lost.
[00:59] Mina
    He wouldn't give up on it that easily.
[01:02] Victo
    Here it is!
[01:03] Victo
    The record of my work from back then!
[01:05] Victo
    Huh?
[01:06] Victo
    Wh-What language is this?
[01:08] Victo
    I can't read this crap!
[01:16] Aisrehdar
    Victor?
[01:20] Victo
    If a god exists who can save us,
    I'd like to see his face.
[01:25] Aisrehdar
    But you've seen one already.
[01:32] Aisrehdar
    I'm saying...
[01:38] Aisrehdar
    There is a god
[01:40] Aisrehdar
    standing right in front of you!
[01:50] Victo
    What was that?
[01:52] Victo
    If I'd jumped back an
    instant later, I'd be dead.
[01:56] Aisrehdar
    I am the one and only true descendant
    of the god of time, Chronos,
[02:02] Aisrehdar
    and the master of Chronos, the organization
     that subjugates Horologues...
[02:05] Aisrehdar
    Aisrehdar.
[02:07] Aisrehdar
    I carry within me blood that has flowed
    since the universe was created,
[02:11] Aisrehdar
    and have devoted my being to the subjugation
    of Horologues far longer than you have.
[02:18] Aisrehdar
    There's no need to be so afraid.
[02:23] Aisrehdar
    I'll only be taking back the
    UNIQUE you bear in your chest.
[02:29] Aisrehdar
    Once that's done, I'll put you in bed...
[02:35] Aisrehdar
    to sleep.
SIGN    March 15 15:10
SIGN    Slow Down
[04:15] Victo
    Slow Down!
SIGN    Release
[04:20] Victo
    My Slow Down was released?!
[04:23] Aisrehdar
    What did I tell you?
[04:24] Aisrehdar
    I am the descendant of a god.
[04:27] Aisrehdar
    All things in creation are under my control.
[04:30] Victo
    Chronos Rulers can only control
    objects within a set range.
[04:34] Victo
    If I can get some distance between us...
[04:38] Victo
    My body...
[04:42] Victo
    This is... Slow Down!
[04:43] Victo
    She's controlling my body?!
[04:47] Aisrehdar
    UNIQUE is my own weapon,
    which was lost 2,200 years ago.
[04:53] Aisrehdar
    No...
[04:55] Aisrehdar
    Not a weapon, but more like a
    booster that increases the range
[04:59] Aisrehdar
    and strength of my control of time.
[05:02] Aisrehdar
    Without UNIQUE, my power is
    now weaker than it once was,
[05:08] Aisrehdar
    but still, all things in
    creation are under my control,
[05:11] Aisrehdar
    and that includes all living beings.
[05:17] Aisrehdar
    To put an immediate end to the
    battle against the Horologues,
[05:21] Aisrehdar
    the UNIQUE is absolutely necessary.
[05:25] Aisrehdar
    Don't hate me for this, Victor.
[05:28] Victo
    Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[05:29] Victo
    Total control over everything?!
[05:33] Victo
    I have to use Speed Up!
[05:35] Victo
    Kiri will get mad if he finds out, but...
[05:37] Victo
    Desperate times call for desperate measures!
[05:56] Mina
    Someone's fighting...
[05:59] Mina
    It couldn't be!
[06:04] Mina
    No... No, no, no!
[06:07] Mina
    Gotta get there in time!

[07:42] (Flashback) Mina
    Mom, why did you leave me behind?
[07:46] (Flashback) Mina
    It's too selfish!
[07:50] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    Don't cry, Mina.
[07:53] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    She lived more than long enough.
[07:56] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    It was simply her time.
[07:58] (Flashback) Mina
    Sister...
[08:00] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    To us, who live eternal lives thanks
    to the blood of Chronos within us,
[08:05] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    human life seems terribly fleeting.
[08:10] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    Your mother and friends, as well,
[08:13] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    will all leave your side sooner or later.
[08:18] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    They will leave nothing behind
    for you but endless grief
[08:23] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    and memories.
[08:28] (Flashback) Mina
    My mother...
SIGN    An Inconvenient Truth
[08:32] (Flashback) Mina
    was always a very tough woman.
[08:35] (Flashback) Mina
    Until only recently, her hair
    was still thick and black.
[08:39] (Flashback) Mina
    Yet, in the end...
[08:45] (Flashback) Mina
    Was it really...
[08:47] (Flashback) Mina
    "just her time"?
[08:54] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    The power of the god who controls time
[08:57] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    is passed on to his descendants.
[09:00] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    You do not yet have the god's power,
[09:03] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    but if I should lose my life,
[09:07] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    you must inherit my power
[09:08] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    and carry on the subjugation
    of the Horologues.
[09:12] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    This is the duty you were born with.
[09:19] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    I offer you this warning
    as your elder sister.
[09:23] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    Engrave your duty in your heart,
[09:25] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    and never let it be undone by any human.
[09:30] (Flashback) Aisrehdar
    Otherwise, you will be the one to suffer.
[09:42] Mina
    D-Darling...
[09:45] Mina
    No!
[09:52] Mina
    Stay out of my way!
[09:58] Mina
    Again and again and again!
[10:00] Mina
    And again and again!
[10:02] Mina
    How many times must you get in my way?!
[10:04] Mina
    You took away my mother and all my friends,
[10:07] Mina
    and it still wasn't enough?!
[10:09] Mina
    Victor is the man I love!

    Speed Up
[10:38] Kiri
    What's that?
[10:40] Kiri
    I have a bad feeling...
[10:43] Kiri
    I don't have time for this guy!
[10:45] Kiri
    I have to find Victor at once!
[10:48] Blaze
    Speed Up!
[10:50] Blaze
    Instant Destruction...
SIGN    Instant Destruction by Fire
[10:53] Blaze
    by Fire!
[10:55] Kiri
    Slow Down!
SIGN    Slow Down
[11:01] Blaze
    Hey, you running away?
[11:03] Blaze
    Play with me a little longer!
[11:14] Kiri
    No!
[11:16] Blaze
    Finally figured it out, four-eyes?
[11:19] Blaze
    When I attacked you with Speed Up,
[11:22] Blaze
    I kept my flames burning with Slow Down.
[11:25] Blaze
    That's why it's still so hot around here.
[11:30] Blaze
    With all that going on,
    water evaporates in no time.
[11:35] Blaze
    You're a Chronos Ruler who controls water,
[11:39] Blaze
    but if you lose that water...
[11:42] Blaze
    You're just some four-eyes!
[11:56] Blaze
    Your Oath of Time is an old model!
[11:59] Blaze
    Sucks that you can't have Speed Up and Slow
    Down active at the same time, doesn't it?!
[12:06] Blaze
    With Speed Up, water evaporates in an instant,
[12:09] Blaze
    but with Speed Down, all you can do is defend!
[12:12] Blaze
    Stresses you out, doesn't it?!
[12:13] Blaze
    You know you need to
    hurry or Victor might die!
[12:18] Blaze
    More!
[12:19] Blaze
    More, more, more, more!
[12:21] Blaze
    Let me see you look more helpless!
[12:24] Blaze
    Kneel down before evil!
[12:46] Mina
    Darling...
[12:50] Mina
    Please...
[12:52] Mina
    Don't leave me alone.
[12:56] Mina
    No...
[12:57] Mina
    I don't want to feel that way again!
[13:06] Mina
    Get...
[13:10] Mina
    Slow Down!
SIGN    Slow Down
[13:12] Mina
    ...out of the way!
[13:14] Mina
    Speed Up!
[13:14] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[13:16] Mina
    My Speed Up and Slow Down won't
    activate simultaneously?
[13:19] Mina
    Why? My Oath of Time is
    a new and improved model!
[13:24] Aisrehdar
    Slow Down.
SIGN    Slow Down
[13:27] Mina
    My left leg is...
[13:30] Aisrehdar
    No matter what you do,
[13:32] Aisrehdar
    my resolution won't change.
[13:34] Aisrehdar
    Just stay there and be still.
[13:36] Aisrehdar
    Struggling too much will
    endanger your trapped leg.
[13:41] Mina
    I told you...
[13:44] Mina
    to move.
[13:47] Mina
    Out of the way!
[13:49] Aisrehdar
    Don't move!
[13:50] Mina
    Compared to losing him...
[13:54] Mina
    Losing a leg or two is nothing!
[14:02] Victo
    Please!
[14:04] Victo
    Sisters should have a harmonious bond.
[14:12] Mina
    Darling? But your injuries...
[14:16] Victo
    I don't quite understand it, either,
[14:19] Victo
    but it looks like she missed the vital spot.
[14:31] Mina
    Darling!
[14:33] Mina
    I'm so glad you're safe!
[14:37] Mina
    Thank you for staying alive.
[14:41] Mina
    Don't leave me behind again!
[14:48] Victo
    All this time, I thought her
    words and behaviors were just
[14:52] Victo
    her joking around to make me like her,
[14:56] Victo
    but it seems I was wrong.
[14:59] Victo
    After all, her face as she cries...
[15:03] Victo
    looks just like Kiri's did.
[15:10] Victo
    So you really are...
[15:20] Victo
    Miss Mina.
[15:22] Victo
    No... Mina.
[15:25] Victo
    Don't cry.
[15:30] Victo
    I'll always be with you.
[15:32] Victo
    I won't go anywhere.
[15:34] Victo
    Don't worry.
[15:42] Mina
    Okay!
[15:48] Mina
    Sister!
[15:50] Aisrehdar
    Before you start speaking of love,
[15:52] Aisrehdar
    you need to think about defending
    your own life, Victor!
[16:05] Victo
    If I keep myself on the
    receiving end, she'll kill me.
[16:07] Victo
    I have to attack!
[16:08] Mina
    Darling!
[16:10] Mina
    Wait, Sist—
[16:15] Victo
    I have no choice. It beats dying!
[16:17] Victo
    Speed Up!
[16:27] Victo
    I used Speed Up, but I'm not losing my time?
[16:32] Mina
    Darling?
[16:33] Aisrehdar
    It appears the repair was successful.
[16:37] Victo
    Huh?
[16:39] Aisrehdar
    The UNIQUE inside you
[16:43] Aisrehdar
    is the one I lost when fighting
    Horologues 2,200 years ago.
[16:49] Aisrehdar
    The damage it took then made it
    unable to fully realize its power.
[16:56] Aisrehdar
    So what I did before was just to repair it.
[17:00] Aisrehdar
    In other words, you can now
    use Speed Up all you want
[17:05] Aisrehdar
    without concern for the wound in your chest.
[17:08] Victo
    You weren't trying to kill me?
[17:10] Aisrehdar
    The information you gave Chronos
    when you returned alive
[17:15] Aisrehdar
    from the Horologue nest twelve years ago...
[17:19] Aisrehdar
    was extremely valuable.
[17:22] Aisrehdar
    Far more so than your life.
[17:26] Aisrehdar
    So I only left UNIQUE with you until
    you managed to regain your lost time.
[17:34] Victo
    I get it.
[17:36] Victo
    So everything that's
    happened since I got here
[17:39] Victo
    was a test to determine whether
    or not I'm capable of protecting UNIQUE.
[17:43] Victo
    How'd I do? Not half bad, right?
[17:46] Victo
    If you're not satisfied, there's one
    last thing I've saved up to show you.
[17:50] Victo
    My true strength as a man, that is.
[17:53] Mina
    Darling!
[17:57] Aisrehdar
    Don't get the wrong idea.
[18:02] Aisrehdar
    Your test is only just beginning.
[18:06] Aisrehdar
    If you can defeat me,
[18:08] Aisrehdar
    I'll acknowledge you as
    worthy of possessing UNIQUE.
[18:12] Mina
    Sister!
[18:15] Aisrehdar
    There's no need to worry.
[18:18] Aisrehdar
    I won't exercise direct
    control over your body.
[18:22] Victo
    I should've known it wouldn't be that simple.
[18:25] Victo
    And? What if I lose?
[18:28] Aisrehdar
    If you do, you will return UNIQUE to me.
[18:32] Aisrehdar
    And I will then eliminate
    every last Horologue myself.
[18:38] Victo
    I see.
[18:40] Victo
    So my life is literally on the line.
[18:43] Victo
    Sounds fun.
[18:45] Victo
    I'll take that bet!
SIGN    Slow Down
[18:51] Mina
    Please, stop this, both of you!
[18:54] Aisrehdar
    You be quiet.
[18:56] Aisrehdar
    This is my duty as the descendant of Chronos!
[19:02] Victo
    Ace Shot!
SIGN    Slow Down
[19:25] Victo
    She's tough.
[19:27] Victo
    She's controlling all the
    rocks and air around me...
[19:30] Victo
    Everything but my body itself.
[19:32] Victo
    Of course, that includes my cards.
[19:34] Aisrehdar
    What's wrong?
[19:36] Aisrehdar
    Is that all there is to your "true strength"?
[19:41] Victo
    A good gambler doesn't play
    his ace on the first hand.
[19:47] Victo
    As of now, it's my turn.
[19:51] Aisrehdar
    How foolish. If you use Slow Down
    on a wall of cards,
[19:54] Aisrehdar
    I only need to offset it with Speed Up!
[19:56] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[20:16] Mina
    So much power...
[20:18] Mina
    What's going on?
[20:20] Victo
    Well, my precious memories
    were on the line before,
[20:23] Victo
    so I never tested it.
[20:26] Victo
    But now I know.
[20:28] Victo
    This UNIQUE embedded in my chest
[20:31] Victo
    can activate both Speed Up
    and Slow Down simultaneously,
[20:35] Victo
    just like the latest Oath of Time models.
[20:37] Aisrehdar
    I see. So that's it.
[20:41] Victo
    Exactly.
[20:43] Victo
    I made a wall of Slowed Down cards,
SIGN    Slow Down x 1000
[20:46] Victo
    and hid some Sped Up cards behind them.
[20:50] Victo
    Your Speed Up tore down my
    Slowed Down wall of cards,
[20:50] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up
[20:56] Victo
    but the cards behind them were even
    further Sped Up by your power.
[20:56] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500 x 1000
[20:59] [SONG] Text
    Speed Up x 500000
[21:01] [SONG] ---
    Speed Up x 500000
[21:01] [SONG] ---
    Speed Up x 500000
[21:02] Victo
    And the result was the blast you just saw.
[21:06] Victo
    The double Speed Up allowed the cards to gain
    a level of speed not ordinarily possible.
[21:12] Victo
    I guess you could call it a
    super-powered card missile.
[21:17] Victo
    And there's one other thing I figured out.
[21:20] Victo
    You may be a god,
[21:22] Victo
    but that doesn't nullify my
    own ability to control time.
[21:26] Victo
    The control of time can only be
    countered by controlling time.
[21:31] Victo
    This is what it means to
    fight under the same rules.
[21:35] Victo
    In other words, even a god is not absolute.
[21:44] Victo
    Well? Is that all there is
    to your "true strength"?
