THE HOPE IN THE FLAMES
**[01:52] ---**
Dai...
**[01:54] ---**
Looks like we're screwed now.
**[02:00] ---**
Darn it!
**[02:03] ---**
*It's no good.
Even if I keep holding the flames off,*
**[02:07] ---**
*my stamina won't last!*
**[02:10] ---**
*That said, my hands are full as it is!*
**[02:15] ---**
*I guess this is it...*
**[02:20] ---**
Popp!
**[02:22] ---**
Sorry.
**[02:23] ---**
I went and jumped in here...
**[02:28] ---**
but I couldn't do anything.
**[02:31] ---**
It looks like... this is... the end.
**[02:36] ---**
Popp.
**[02:40] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[02:45] ---**
Dammit!
**[02:51] ---**
You fools!
**[02:54] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[02:58] ---**
You two...
**[03:00] ---**
You call yourselves Disciples of Avan?!
**[03:04] ---**
For you two to die in a place like this
**[03:08] ---**
and still call yourselves that...
**[03:11] ---**
You would disappoint Avan
in the afterlife!
**[03:14] ---**
What?!
**[03:15] ---**
Look at me!
**[03:17] ---**
The Disciples of Avan
that I gave my life to trying to defeat...
**[03:22] ---**
had the most dauntless of souls!
**[03:27] ---**
They were warriors of hope!
**[03:29] ---**
A will of iron that
never gives up until the very end!
**[03:33] ---**
Isn't that...
**[03:36] ---**
Isn't that supposed to be the greatest
weapon of a Disciple of Avan?!
**[03:45] ---**
Hadlar...
**[03:47] ---**
The bastard!
He's the one who killed Master Avan!
**[03:53] ---**
*And yet...*
**[03:54] ---**
*he said exactly what Master would say!*
**[03:58] ---**
Now do something about it!
**[04:01] ---**
I thought I fought the Disciples of Avan!
**[04:05] ---**
Don't make me a clown
who lost to a bunch of posers!
**[04:14] ---**
*Our enemy is lecturing us.*
**[04:17] ---**
*Having fought us, Hadlar understands
what it means to be Disciples of Avan...*
**[04:23] ---**
*more than we do ourselves!*
**[04:27] ---**
In that case,
who cares if we can't do anything!
**[04:31] ---**
We'll resist until the very, very end!
**[04:42] ---**
Popp!
**[04:48] ---**
*Okay. Now what?*
**[04:52] ---**
*It doesn't change the fact
that we're out of options!*
**[05:02] ---**
Wait... There one last way out!
**[05:05] ---**
A way out?!
**[05:06] ---**
Dai, you can still cast spells, right?
**[05:10] ---**
Yeah, I can.
**[05:12] ---**
But I don't know about my aim.
**[05:14] ---**
Plus, my Magic Power isn't...
**[05:17] ---**
You don't need to aim at anything!
**[05:19] ---**
Huh?
**[05:20] ---**
You just need to cast one spell.
**[05:23] ---**
Zoom!
**[05:25] ---**
Cast Zoom right there, and fly out above!
**[05:30] ---**
If I do that,
I'll hit that wall of flames!
**[05:33] ---**
The sky will be visible when you do!
**[05:37] ---**
Thanks to my Medroa!
**[05:39] ---**
That's it!
**[05:40] ---**
Yeah! Medroa!
**[05:42] ---**
It can blow everything away!
**[05:46] ---**
*This trap works by focusing
eight flames in one point!*
**[05:54] ---**
That means, if I cast Medroa above
where the flames have gathered...
**[06:00] ---**
it should disperse them,
leaving the sky visible for an instant!
**[06:06] ---**
Let's bet on that instant!
**[06:09] ---**
Okay!
**[06:10] ---**
Listen! Use Zoom to fly up
when you see the sky!
**[06:14] ---**
I'll grab onto you immediately!
**[06:17] ---**
Casting Medroa is probably going to
drain me of all my Magic Power.
**[06:22] ---**
So that's our best option.
**[06:25] ---**
Got it.
**[06:34] ---**
What are you waiting for?!
**[06:38] ---**
If there's a way, try it before you die!
**[06:42] ---**
Forget about me.
**[06:44] ---**
I'm doomed to be a corpse soon anyway.
**[06:48] ---**
Make sure you two make it out!
**[06:52] ---**
Right!
**[06:57] ---**
Everyone!
**[06:59] ---**
Popp?!
**[07:01] ---**
We're going to make our last attempt!
Pray for us!
**[07:05] ---**
Popp!
**[07:10] ---**
Here goes!
**[07:18] ---**
Popp?!
**[07:24] ---**
Crap! If I weaken my Ice-type magic
even a little, I'll be overpowered!
**[07:30] ---**
Dammit!
**[07:38] ---**
*It's no good!
I can't cast Medroa like this!*
**[07:46] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:05] ---**
*Hadlar...?!*
**[08:06] ---**
*With his Magic Power...?!*
**[08:14] ---**
What the hell are you doing?!
**[08:17] ---**
Ignore me! I'm doing what I want!
**[08:22] ---**
This is your chance! Cast your spell!
**[08:26] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[08:28] ---**
I gave my life for this fight!
**[08:30] ---**
I won't let Killvearn's trap spoil it!
**[08:36] ---**
If my fight, if the fight
of my companions...
**[08:40] ---**
end without any victors,
**[08:43] ---**
there'll be no one
to tell the world about them!
**[08:49] ---**
Hurry, Popp!
**[08:51] ---**
This corpse has risen!
Consider it a stroke of luck!
**[09:11] ---**
Dai! Here we go!
**[09:14] ---**
Right!
**[09:16] ---**
Do it!
**[09:18] ---**
Medroa!
**[09:38] ---**
*The sky!*
**[09:40] ---**
*It opened!*
**[09:43] ---**
Now!
**[09:45] ---**
Hurry and...
**[10:00] ---**
Zoom!
**[10:28] ---**
Dai...
**[10:30] ---**
Where's Popp?
**[10:34] ---**
Huh? Wait...
**[10:36] ---**
What happened?!
**[10:37] ---**
Where's Popp?!
**[10:49] ---**
Popp!
**[10:52] ---**
Maam?
**[10:54] ---**
I messed up.
**[10:56] ---**
I never thought it would end like this.
**[11:01] ---**
Sorry.
**[11:04] ---**
I can't... see the future... with you.
**[11:11] ---**
Popp!
**[11:14] ---**
Popp!
**[11:22] ---**
It's complete.
**[11:24] ---**
The Nine of Diamonds
is in its final stage.
**[11:28] ---**
It's time to say goodbye,
little Mage.
**[11:34] ---**
Help... Somebody...
**[11:40] ---**
Somebody do something!
**[11:43] ---**
I love this final moment.
**[11:48] ---**
Everything focuses at the center diamond
and vanishes to the Underworld.
**[11:53] ---**
Not even ash is left behind.
**[11:58] ---**
Like fireworks,
I love how sentimental it ends.
**[12:02] ---**
You're in a good mood...
**[12:05] ---**
considering one of them escaped.
**[12:07] ---**
I have more Kill Traps.
**[12:10] ---**
I have as many traps as cards
scattered all over Vearn Palace.
**[12:16] ---**
In fact, we're lucky we got that brat now.
**[12:22] ---**
You hold him in high regard for a human.
**[12:27] ---**
You mustn't underestimate humans.
**[12:29] ---**
In terms of growth potential,
Popp's is greater than Dai's.
**[12:34] ---**
None of them will ever reach this place.
I'll take care of them all.
**[12:40] ---**
One by one, little by little. Right?
**[12:45] ---**
To the end of Popp. Cheers!
**[12:49] ---**
Cheers!
**[13:03] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[13:10] ---**
It looks like you enjoy
futile resistance as well.
**[13:14] ---**
Don't be stupid!
**[13:16] ---**
Don't give up! Stand up and try again!
**[13:19] ---**
I'm out of Magic Power and stamina.
**[13:25] ---**
But I managed to save Dai.
**[13:28] ---**
I think that's enough.
**[13:29] ---**
You little fool!
**[13:32] ---**
If you hadn't hesitated...
**[13:35] ---**
you would have made it out as well!
**[13:40] ---**
Why did you?!
**[13:44] ---**
Sorry. I froze when I saw you.
**[13:49] ---**
What?
**[13:51] ---**
In that moment, seeing you
desperately try to help us survive...
**[13:56] ---**
You didn't feel like a stranger anymore.
**[14:03] ---**
I knew you wouldn't make it either way.
**[14:09] ---**
But I just couldn't... leave you behind.
**[14:14] ---**
I mean, just look at you!
**[14:16] ---**
*You fought for your honor.*
**[14:20] ---**
*You worked with your companions.*
**[14:23] ---**
*You worked hard.*
**[14:25] ---**
*To fight us fair and square,
you desperately...*
**[14:30] ---**
*you desperately did all you could!*
**[14:36] ---**
How are you any different from us?
**[14:41] ---**
We're the same!
**[14:43] ---**
Popp...
**[14:45] ---**
you...
**[14:47] ---**
Seeing you crumble in that instant...
**[14:51] ---**
I couldn't bring myself to look away.
**[14:54] ---**
I reached out to you.
**[14:56] ---**
That's why... I couldn't grab Dai.
**[15:01] ---**
I'm such a klutz.
**[15:04] ---**
To end up dying
trying to save my mortal enemy.
**[15:09] ---**
Master Avan's might scold me
in the afterlife.
**[15:13] ---**
Nah. He wouldn't scold me.
**[15:17] ---**
He'd understand how I feel.
**[15:20] ---**
Popp!
**[15:31] ---**
Hadlar?
**[15:38] ---**
Are you... crying?
**[15:42] ---**
Popp... I can't believe it.
**[15:47] ---**
To give your life...
**[15:49] ---**
for someone like me!
**[15:54] ---**
Forgive me!
**[15:59] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[16:01] ---**
If you hadn't been here,
I couldn't have cast Medroa.
**[16:06] ---**
Thank you, Hadlar.
**[16:13] ---**
Your tears are evaporating instantly.
**[16:16] ---**
It's a pretty shabby place to die.
**[16:20] ---**
But let's go together!
Master Avan's waiting in the afterlife!
**[16:30] ---**
*God!*
**[16:31] ---**
*God of humans!*
**[16:34] ---**
*As a Darkling, this is my first prayer!*
**[16:37] ---**
*If indeed you truly have the power
to preside over the lives of humans...*
**[16:44] ---**
*save him!*
**[16:46] ---**
*Save this magnificent man!*
**[16:51] ---**
*Please don't let him die
for a monster like me!*
**[16:59] ---**
God!
**[17:04] ---**
And now, the grand finale!
**[17:08] ---**
Burn away, you filth!
**[17:13] ---**
Darn it!
**[17:15] ---**
No!
**[17:18] ---**
Popp!
**[17:47] ---**
Popp?
**[17:51] ---**
What is this?
**[17:55] ---**
Now, now, Popp.
**[17:57] ---**
We can't have you going to the afterlife.
**[18:03] ---**
Even if you had,
I wouldn't have been waiting there.
**[18:09] ---**
No way...
**[18:11] ---**
Is this a dream?
**[18:14] ---**
No...
**[18:16] ---**
I thought...
**[18:25] ---**
Impossible!
**[18:33] ---**
How?
**[18:38] ---**
How?!
**[18:50] ---**
M-Master?!
**[18:54] ---**
*It can't be!*
**[18:57] ---**
*I must be dreaming!*
**[18:59] ---**
*Or...*
**[19:00] ---**
*is this really the afterlife?!*
**[19:13] ---**
You'll have to wait a moment
to be healed, Popp.
**[19:20] ---**
It seems that I owe you
a word of gratitude...
**[19:25] ---**
Hadlar.
**[19:26] ---**
You... Are you really Avan?
**[19:32] ---**
I'm surprised. I never thought
you of all people would save my student.
**[19:38] ---**
The Hadlar I knew would
never have done such a thing.
**[19:42] ---**
It appears that you are
no longer the same man
**[19:47] ---**
that I once knew you to be,
Dark Lord Hadlar.
**[19:51] ---**
You...
**[19:53] ---**
I know it's strange saying this
to someone I've fought again and again...
**[19:59] ---**
but truly...
**[20:01] ---**
Do you intend to say, "thank you"?!
**[20:05] ---**
You're soft! You're as soft as ever!
**[20:09] ---**
You make me sick!
**[20:25] ---**
You won't be meddling again this time...
**[20:32] ---**
damn Reaper!
**[20:46] ---**
That damn Killvearn...
**[20:49] ---**
Hadlar?!
**[20:55] ---**
I guess it looks like
**[20:58] ---**
that truly was the last of my strength.
**[21:03] ---**
Hadlar... you...
**[21:06] ---**
Hear me, Avan.
**[21:09] ---**
Dark King Vearn is a dangerous man.
**[21:12] ---**
Forget any mercy. Be cold as ice.
**[21:17] ---**
It's your power...
**[21:20] ---**
that your students will need
for the battle ahead.
**[21:33] ---**
They were glorious.
**[21:36] ---**
Those students of yours.
**[21:40] ---**
So much so... they even...
changed who I was.
**[21:49] ---**
With your power...
**[21:51] ---**
lead them... to victory.
**[21:56] ---**
Hadlar!
**[21:58] ---**
That's...
**[22:00] ---**
how you can...
**[22:03] ---**
show your gratitude to me.
**[22:13] ---**
Hadlar...
**[22:15] ---**
Popp.
**[22:17] ---**
It seems the god of you humans...
**[22:20] ---**
has a sense of poetic irony.
**[22:24] ---**
Huh?
**[22:26] ---**
In return for my life...
**[22:30] ---**
your god brought back
the treasure I once stole...
**[22:36] ---**
and returned it to you.
**[22:41] ---**
Not only that...
**[22:45] ---**
your god let me die...
**[22:50] ---**
right here...
**[22:52] ---**
in the arms... of this man.
**[23:06] ---**
*Hadlar.*
**[23:08] ---**
*In your last moments, you were one of us.*
**[23:13] ---**
*You were...*
**[23:16] ---**
*our friend.*
**[23:19] ---**
Hadlar...
**[23:33] ---**
*It was Avan who saved Popp and Hadlar.*
**[23:37] ---**
*He was believed to have died
protecting Dai and Popp*
**[23:40] ---**
*from Dark Commander Hadlar,
but with his return,*
**[23:43] ---**
*the Disciples of Avan
are both bewildered and overjoyed.*
**[23:47] ---**
*Together with the greatest possible ally,
the party heads to Vearn's palace.*
**[23:53] ---**
DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai*,*
**[23:55] ---**
*"Return of the Great Hero"*
**[23:57] ---**
*The adventure continues!*
**[23:59] ---**
**[24:01] ---**
