    THE DRAGON MASTERS APPROACH
[01:52] ---
    Thank you for coming.
[01:54] ---
    I've been waiting.
[01:56] ---
    It's been years
    since we three have gathered.
[02:00] ---
    To require all of us must mean
    something big is going on.
[02:06] ---
    Has the time come to burn the world?
[02:11] ---
    My son, Dino, is alive.
[02:15] ---
    Master Dino?!
[02:17] ---
    The Hero Dai, who fights
    the Dark Army is my son, Dino.
[02:22] ---
    What a cruel twist of fate.
[02:25] ---
    I've already fought the party he leads.
[02:29] ---
    Their bond of unity was stronger than I
    anticipated, and I sustained some wounds.
[02:36] ---
    You were wounded?!
[02:38] ---
    So that's why you came to Argo Point.
[02:42] ---
    This is where the Fountain of Miracles
    that heals Dragon Knights is located.
[02:49] ---
    That wasn't my only reason.
[02:51] ---
    He means his wife.
[02:54] ---
    We understand, Master Baran.
    You need our help to reclaim Master Dino.
[03:01] ---
    Exactly. My son has
    some troublesome allies.
[03:05] ---
    They would risk death for Dai, the Hero.
[03:08] ---
    Especially the two Legion Commanders
    who betrayed the Dark Army.
[03:12] ---
    Beast King Crocodine and Dark Swordsman
    Hyunckel are not to be underestimated.
[03:17] ---
    You're joking!
[03:19] ---
    No Legion Commander of the Dark Army
    aside from you could stand up to us!
[03:25] ---
    You may be the most powerful Dragon Riders
    of all Darklings and Beastlings,
[03:32] ---
    but humans can display terrifying strength
    when they're prepared to die.
[03:38] ---
    If his allies should resist,
    you three must crush them.
[03:45] ---
    In the meantime, I shall reclaim my son.
[03:48] ---
    Yes, Master!
[03:49] ---
    I must prepare for battle.
    Wait for me here.
[03:55] ---
    Master Baran is ever the cautious one.
[03:58] ---
    They're just a few humans
    and a couple of traitors.
[04:02] ---
    Watch your tongue, Galdandy!
[04:04] ---
    Indeed. They say a lion
    does not hold back when killing a hare.
[04:08] ---
    Don't forget his caution has made
    our glorious Dragon Legion undefeated.
[04:16] ---
    I get it already.
[04:24] ---
    Soala, this time I shall get Dino back...
[04:29] ---
    from those filthy humans!
[04:39] ---
    The Dragon Legion shall now
    head to Teran Kingdom!
[04:43] ---
    When my son, Dino, joins us,
    our strength shall be absolute!
[04:48] ---
    Yes, Master!
[04:49] ---
    Follow me!
[05:01] ---
    What a surprise.
[05:02] ---
    With everyone calling you "Princess,"
    I wondered who you were.
[05:06] ---
    So you're the ruler of Papnica.
[05:09] ---
    Otherwise, small as Teran may be,
    its king would not so easily hear us.
[05:20] ---
    His Majesty will see you know.
[05:22] ---
    He is not feeling well and asks that
    you forgive an audience in his chambers.
[05:26] ---
    That's fine.
[05:29] ---
    I'll wait outside.
    Call me when you're done.
[05:35] ---
    I see.
[05:37] ---
    So that supernatural storm
    was caused by the Dragon Knight.
[05:41] ---
    And this child is the Dragon Knight's son.
[05:46] ---
    It may have been a Psychic Signal
    that took his memories.
[05:50] ---
    A Psychic Signal?
[05:52] ---
    Think of it as a mental wave
    emitted from the Dragon Crest.
[05:57] ---
    How can we restore his memory?
[06:00] ---
    I do not know.
[06:02] ---
    We merely worship the God of Dragons.
[06:05] ---
    We know of the Dragon Knight,
    but not of the full breadth of its powers.
[06:11] ---
    I see.
[06:12] ---
    Then will you let us use this castle
    to shelter Dai?
[06:16] ---
    You still seek to fight?
[06:18] ---
    We do.
[06:20] ---
    The people of Teran may think of
    Baran's attack as divine will,
[06:25] ---
    but it's an aggression against humanity.
[06:28] ---
    We will fight against aggression.
[06:30] ---
    I see. I had heard of the bravery
    of the Princess of Papnica.
[06:39] ---
    Kanar.
[06:40] ---
    Your Majesty!
[06:41] ---
    You will aid Princess Leona.
[06:45] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[06:47] ---
    Thank you, Your Majesty.
[06:51] ---
    Tell me, are you the famed Seer...?
[06:55] ---
    Yes. I am Nabara.
[06:57] ---
    And this one?
[06:59] ---
    This is my granddaughter, Merle.
[07:01] ---
    Come closer.
[07:03] ---
    Huh?
[07:05] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[07:16] ---
    You possess power
    beyond that of your grandmother's.
[07:19] ---
    Indeed. Recently, she's been able to
    sense things I cannot.
[07:26] ---
    Your power shall soon show you
    terrifying and horrible things to come.
[07:32] ---
    What?!
[07:33] ---
    Do not resent your power.
[07:36] ---
    It shall eventually help save humanity.
[07:40] ---
    Trust that that day shall come
    and live strong.
[07:43] ---
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[07:49] ---
    What's wrong?!
[07:50] ---
    It's coming! An energy of such wrath!
    Straight for this country!
[07:55] ---
    You mean Baran?!
[07:56] ---
    He's coming already?!
[07:58] ---
    That's not all!
[08:00] ---
    Other similar energies... Three of them!
[08:05] ---
    What are you doing?!
[08:07] ---
    Let me out! Let me out of here!
[08:09] ---
    Isn't a prison cell going too far?
[08:11] ---
    But this is the deepest,
    most impregnable place in the castle.
[08:16] ---
    But...
[08:16] ---
    Let me out! Let me out!
[08:21] ---
    Young lady, do you know
    what "imprinting" is?
[08:24] ---
    Huh?
[08:25] ---
    It's when an animal hatches from its egg,
[08:30] ---
    and assumes
    the first thing it sees is its parent.
[08:34] ---
    Baran's reduced Dai to a state
    of a newly hatched infant.
[08:39] ---
    If Dai encounters Baran now,
    he'll probably accept Baran as his father.
[08:46] ---
    They bear the same mark
    as irrefutable proof.
[08:50] ---
    It's cruel, but this is
    the only way to prevent that.
[08:55] ---
    We'll take care of the rest.
    Please guard the king.
[08:59] ---
    I'm sorry I could not do more.
[09:07] ---
    Dai...
[09:14] ---
    They're headed straight for Teran
    from the southeast.
[09:18] ---
    Can you show them, Old Lady?
[09:20] ---
    I think so.
[09:35] ---
    Who are they?!
[09:37] ---
    These are the three sources of energy
    aside from Baran?
[09:40] ---
    Could they be the Dragon Masters?!
[09:43] ---
    The Dragon Masters?
[09:44] ---
    The most powerful Dragon Riders
    that serve Baran.
[09:48] ---
    With Dragons under their control, they're said
    to rival even the Legion Commanders.
[09:54] ---
    You mean he's brought three guys
    each as strong as you?!
[09:57] ---
    We may not be strong enough
    to hold them back.
[10:01] ---
    Fighting Baran alone was difficult enough.
[10:05] ---
    If only Hyunckel was here.
[10:15] ---
    We're done for. I guess that blows it.
[10:18] ---
    Popp?
[10:20] ---
    Sorry, but I'm not about to
    die for nothing.
[10:23] ---
    I'm bailing now.
    You guys do whatever you like.
[10:27] ---
    What are you saying all of a sudden?!
[10:30] ---
    I'm saying I'm getting out of here.
[10:32] ---
    If they're that strong, there's no point
    in resisting. What a crock!
[10:38] ---
    Popp, do you understand
    what you're saying?!
[10:41] ---
    You're the ones who don't understand!
[10:44] ---
    Dai's like this and we're falling apart.
[10:48] ---
    Now we're facing the most powerful Legion.
[10:50] ---
    You'd have to be crazy
    to consider fighting now.
[10:54] ---
    I thought fighting for your friends,
    even when there's no hope,
[10:59] ---
    was what you
    Disciples of Avan believed in!
[11:02] ---
    If Dai falls into their hands now,
    the human world will end!
[11:06] ---
    That's right!
    I thought you were Dai's best friend!
[11:10] ---
    Are you really willing
    to abandon Dai now and run?!
[11:14] ---
    Don't worry about him.
    He's not even human.
[11:18] ---
    He's one of them.
    Why not give him back to them?
[11:22] ---
    They'll take good care of him!
[11:31] ---
    Very well. Get out of my sight.
[11:33] ---
    We won't enlist the aid of one like you.
[11:38] ---
    Well that's a relief. Thanks!
[11:41] ---
    Popp!
[11:42] ---
    Wait, Popp!
[11:44] ---
    Do not follow him, Crocodine!
[11:46] ---
    We need you here to defend this position.
[11:50] ---
    But...!
[11:55] ---
    Princess...
[11:57] ---
    I've always admired the Disciples of Avan.
[12:02] ---
    If Master Avan was still alive,
    I was hoping to learn from him.
[12:07] ---
    I believed Popp would stay with us
    because he's a Disciple of Avan.
[12:18] ---
    What happened to your courage, Popp?
[12:22] ---
    Popp...?
[12:27] ---
    Popp...? Who...?
[12:34] ---
    Popp!
[12:36] ---
    Merle?
[12:38] ---
    Was it all a lie?
[12:40] ---
    When you said Dai was your friend
    even if he was a monster!
[12:44] ---
    Were those words...
    Those tears... All of it?
[12:55] ---
    I hate you.
[12:59] ---
    I don't like you anymore!
[13:07] ---
    I remember when Maam punched me
    and said I disgusted her.
[13:13] ---
    But this isn't like back then!
[13:17] ---
    If I tried to go alone, you'd stop me.
    That's why I had to say that.
[13:21] ---
    I'm sorry!
[13:23] ---
    Look after Dai, everyone!
    I'll stop them, even if I die trying!
[13:27] ---
    I may not win, but I'll take
    one or two of them out with me!
[13:34] ---
    So take care of the rest!
[13:40] ---
    CRACKLE ICE-TYPE SPELL
[13:46] ---
    GIGABREAK
[13:54] ---
    Stop right there!
[13:59] ---
    You're not going any farther!
[14:03] ---
    Look who's here to stop us!
[14:06] ---
    Are the others lying in wait?
[14:07] ---
    No, it doesn't seem like it.
[14:09] ---
    Are you insane?! Or just an idiot?!
[14:16] ---
    Victory to the quick!
[14:18] ---
    Galdandy, don't underestimate him!
[14:20] ---
    He wields spells
    stronger than you'd expect.
[14:24] ---
    That scrawny wimp?!
[14:27] ---
    Donk!
[14:37] ---
    Be crushed!
[14:39] ---
    Please be crushed!
[14:48] ---
    Thanks for lifting me up!
    You're a real help, Ruud!
[14:51] ---
    Dammit! One escaped above!
[15:03] ---
    Such weak Dragons! Pathetic!
[15:07] ---
    You're brave to try to stop us alone.
[15:11] ---
    Master Baran, leave this to us.
[15:14] ---
    We shall catch up,
    so you should hurry to Master Dino.
[15:19] ---
    Very well. I leave this to you.
[15:23] ---
    But don't underestimate him.
[15:25] ---
    I said it before,
    humans who are prepared to die
[15:29] ---
    can display terrifying strength.
[15:33] ---
    "A cornered rat will bite a cat."
    You never know what the desperate will do.
[15:38] ---
    Isn't that what the humans say?
[15:41] ---
    I'm going ahead.
[15:44] ---
    Hold it!
[15:50] ---
    Dammit!
[15:51] ---
    Know your place, boy!
[15:53] ---
    A pipsqueak like you couldn't fight
    Master Baran in a million years!
[15:58] ---
    Shut up! Kafrizz!
[16:06] ---
    With a single breath...?!
[16:10] ---
    That's not all you've got, is it?!
[16:14] ---
    You thought you could fight
    the Dragon Masters with that?!
[16:23] ---
    Are you trying to make me laugh?!
[16:32] ---
    Too frail, boy!
[16:34] ---
    That's enough, Borahorn.
[16:35] ---
    What?
[16:37] ---
    He's nothing more than a fledgling.
[16:39] ---
    Don't make him suffer.
    Just drop him on this and end it.
[16:46] ---
    I guess so.
    For a toy, he's not very fun to play with.
[17:06] ---
    Galdandy?!
[17:08] ---
    I'll take this toy
    if you two don't want it!
[17:13] ---
    He's a juicy human prey! It's no fun
    unless we take our time killing him!
[17:19] ---
    As cruel as ever, I see.
[17:21] ---
    They're strong! They're going to kill me!
[17:26] ---
    Dammit! If I'm going to die,
    I have to hit them at least once or twice!
[17:31] ---
    Otherwise, what's the point in me dying?!
[17:38] ---
    Whoops. Are you dead already, kid?
[17:42] ---
    I-It hurts! I'm done for!
[17:45] ---
    Please! Just end it by biting off my head!
[17:50] ---
    Weakling!
[17:52] ---
    Oh well. Since you asked so nicely!
[17:58] ---
    Sizzle!
[18:05] ---
    I guess you can do anything
    if you're desperate.
[18:09] ---
    I don't believe it. That kid killed
    Galdandy's favorite Ethereal Serpent.
[18:14] ---
    The rat actually bit the cat.
[18:17] ---
    But his resistance comes at a steep price.
[18:20] ---
    That takes care of their Dragons.
    The real fight starts now.
[18:31] ---
    This... This is impossible!
[18:35] ---
    How could you die?!
[18:39] ---
    What the hell?
[18:43] ---
    How cruel! This is too much!
[18:50] ---
    What are you crying about, birdface?!
[18:53] ---
    You've killed tons of humans!
[18:57] ---
    Killed tons of humans?
[19:01] ---
    This Ethereal Serpent, Ruud,
    was the only friend I ever trusted!
[19:08] ---
    He was like my brother!
[19:10] ---
    We were always together, no matter what.
[19:14] ---
    How dare you compare my beloved Dragon...
[19:18] ---
    to some filthy little humans!
[19:24] ---
    What are these feathers?!
[19:27] ---
    They won't come out!
[19:28] ---
    I'll slice you to pieces!
[19:30] ---
    So much that
    they'll never find your pieces!
[19:34] ---
    G-Get away from me!
[19:38] ---
    That's it! They're all on the ground now!
[19:42] ---
    Donk!
[19:47] ---
    My spell's not working?!
[19:48] ---
    You can't use
    such powerful spells anymore.
[19:51] ---
    Your Magic Power is leaking out right now.
[19:56] ---
    You mean...?!
[19:57] ---
    That's right. Those white feathers
    drain an enemy's Magic Power!
[20:03] ---
    Dammit!
[20:04] ---
    And these red feathers, drain stamina.
[20:07] ---
    Do you get it?
[20:10] ---
    I'm going to reduce you to
    an empty rag doll before I slice you up!
[20:14] ---
    I'll make you fear for your life!
[20:19] ---
    Kafrizz!
[20:21] ---
    Then, Frizzle!
[20:24] ---
    Stop resisting!
[20:32] ---
    It's no good! I feel weak!
[20:36] ---
    I won't let you die so easily.
[20:38] ---
    I'm dragging this out!
[20:43] ---
    Take this and this and this!
[20:45] ---
    Does it hurt?! I bet it does!
[20:47] ---
    He's gone mad. Even we can't stop him now.
[20:52] ---
    The boy could've died painlessly
    if he hadn't resisted.
[20:56] ---
    Poor kid.
[21:01] ---
    You're braver than I thought.
    That pisses me off!
[21:05] ---
    I've got to fight back! While I still have
    stamina and Magic Power!
[21:10] ---
    I have to do something!
[21:13] ---
    Oh! I like that face right there!
[21:16] ---
    I know. I'll do what you did to Ruud!
[21:19] ---
    I'll blow your head off like him!
[21:23] ---
    That's it! That's the look!
[21:25] ---
    Just keep that face!
[21:38] ---
    Who's there?!
[21:49] ---
    Great. I'm saved by
    the last guy I want saving me.
[21:54] ---
    Sorry to disappoint.
[22:04] ---
    Even if you face the devil
    With logic on your side
[22:04] ---

[22:26] ---
    Exposed to love and sorrow
[22:26] ---
    ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara
[22:30] ---
    On the path strewn with pride
[22:30] ---
    hokori mamire michi no tochu
[22:36] ---
    Fleeting moments of cowardice

[23:36] ---
    With the best possible ally at his side,
    against Galdandy and Borahorn,
[23:40] ---
    they manage to get an advantage.
[23:42] ---
    Larhart watches calmly,
    until he finally lifts his ominous spear.
