The Chosen Maiden [01:36] Cody     I've been waiting for you, [01:38] Cody     ...Fena Houtman. [01:41] Yukimaru     Who is this? [01:43] Fena     Cody... [01:45] Fena     What do you mean? [01:47] Cody     In short, [01:49] Franz     ...all of the elements that lead     to you standing in this place... [01:53] Cody     ...were set into motion by us. [01:57] Franz     I am a part of Eden, [02:00] Cody     ...and Eden is a part of me. [02:03] Franz     It is we who govern the bloodline     of the maidens, and their lives, [02:07] Cody     ...and guide them to this place. [02:11] Franz     Are you ready? [02:24] Fena     What is this place? [02:28] Fena     Yukimaru? [02:31] Fena & Cody     - Yukimaru?!     - This is the entrance. [02:36] Fena     Cody... [02:39] Fena     What is this place?!     Where's Yukimaru?! [02:41] Cody     He is safe,     Fena La Pucelle Frederick. [02:45] Cody     Princess, true daughter     of the king of England. [02:50] Cody     As well as the daughter of     Helena La Pucelle des Armoises. [02:56] Fena     You guided me here? [03:00] Cody     Not just me. [03:03] Cody     The breadcrumbs and visions     you experienced on your journey [03:07] Cody     belonged to a previous maiden,     Johanne La Pucelle. [03:12] Cody     Your distant ancestor. [03:15] Cody     Memories from a past maiden     that she entrusted to you. [03:19] Cody     As well as the preordained fate     possessed by you yourself. [03:24] Cody     Every moment conspired to weave together     the story that is you. [03:29] Cody     It was all... [03:31] Franz     ...a test to determine if you have     what it takes to be a maiden. [03:37] Franz     And you demonstrated     that you do. [03:40] Franz     You chose from the options presented to you     and found your way to this place. [03:50] Fena     Chose...? [03:53] Fena     I thought I was making choices,     but I was being made to choose. [03:57] Fena     By that mysterious part     of me again... [04:01] Fena     What do you want to     make me do now? [04:03] Fena     You want something, don't you?! [04:05] Fena     Tell me! [04:09] Cody     We searched. [04:11] Cody     For a being who would manage the swollen     number of souls in our stead. [04:17] Franz     And so we choose. We would have that being     test humanity and ascertain their maturity. [04:26] Cody     That was how the Maiden     of Choosing came to be. [04:32] Franz     Through countless cycles of death and rebirth,     they have continued to make that choice. [04:40] Fena     What choice? [04:43] Franz     Destruction and creation.     Or continuation. [04:48] Cody     In short, [04:50] Franz     ...to destroy the world, [04:53] Cody     ...or leave it be. [05:02] Cody     To choose. [05:05] Cody     That is your role as one born     to be the Maiden of Choosing. [05:11] Fena     What are you saying?     Destroy the world? Leave it be? [05:15] Fena     How can I possibly make a choice     like that at the drop of a hat?! [05:17] Cody     Will civilization's end come now,     or in the distant future? [05:23] Cody     Your role is to make     that determination. [05:27] Franz     A maiden cannot shirk her duty     to make this choice. [05:32] Cody     Now, let us begin. [05:49] Fena     Stop! Stop it! [06:04] Franz     What we just showed you is a portion     of the past that was unknown to you. [06:09] Franz     Mankind kills in order to protect     and competes in order to survive. [06:15] Cody     For the moment, this arrangement is holding     together in a precarious balance. [06:20] Franz     But if this continues unchanged, the day     will come when all life will be extinguished. [06:26] Franz     An empty darkness     will fill the skies. [06:30] Fena     Is that [06:32] Fena     a future that's set in stone? [06:35] Franz     Nothing in this world     is set in stone. [06:38] Franz     There are only probabilities. [06:41] Franz     We exist to make one probability     more likely. [06:45] Cody     Allow us to show you     one such example. [06:49] Franz     This is a future that     likely awaits your mercenaries. [07:18] Fena     Guys? [07:21] Fena     Yukimaru! [07:59] Cody     This is your first option. Change nothing,     and let the sands of time fall as they may. [08:19] Yukimaru     Fena. [08:24] Fena     Yukimaru... [08:26] Fena     Where are we? [08:29] Yukimaru     A world that broke free     of the cycle of death. [08:32] Yukimaru     Leaving only hope behind, [08:34] Yukimaru     it is an Ark of Time that drifts aimlessly     until the day of rebirth arrives. [08:41] Yukimaru     When everything     will be reset. [08:45] Yukimaru     It will choose pure souls at random     in order for life to go on [08:49] Yukimaru     and consign everything else     to oblivion. [08:53] Fena     What do you mean? [08:55] Yukimaru     To create anew,     the old will be destroyed. [08:58] Yukimaru     Only the wind, the land,     and the sea will remain. [09:01] Yukimaru     And... [09:06] Fena     Yukimaru? [09:10] Fena     I... [09:16] Yukimaru     I would never go of your hand again.     That was my vow to you. [09:20] Cody     When maidens are reborn, the person she     cherishes most will be at her side. [09:27] Franz     The one person deemed to be     most fitting to be her mate. [09:31] Fena     But what will happen     to the others?! [09:40] Franz     One last thing. [09:42] Franz     Once you have chosen, you will have     completed your role as maiden. [09:48] Cody     Maidens who have completed their role     lose all their memories. [09:54] Fena     Why? [09:56] Franz     The human heart is fragile. [09:58] Franz     Destruction and further observation     both break the maiden's heart, [10:02] Franz     regardless of which     she chooses. [10:04] Franz     To Eden, that would     be undesirable. [10:08] Cody     For you to create the next     generation of maiden, [10:13] Franz     ...we require you to continue     your bloodline. [10:33] Fena     Why me? [10:36] Fena     This is cruel. [10:38] Yukimaru     It is because [10:40] Yukimaru     making this choice     is what you were born to do. [10:45] Fena     I can't do it...     I can't make that choice. [10:49] Fena     How could I possibly     make that choice? [11:05] Yukimaru     This very moment [11:07] Yukimaru     is the reason your heart     began to beat. [11:14] Karin     You've made decision after decision     on this voyage, right? [11:17] Karin     You can do this, Fena! [11:20] Fena     Karin... [11:22] Shitan     You've gained [11:24] Shitan     all the experience you need. [11:28] Tsubaki & Twins     - All that's left now is to choose.     - Yeah! [11:31] Kaede & Enju     - Have some faith in yourself!     - You're our captain, ain't ya? [11:35] Twins     - You've got this!     - You've got this! [11:37] Yukimaru & Karin     - Fena.     - Fena! [11:39] Tsubaki & Shitan     - Fena.     - Fena. [11:42] Kaede & Enju     - Fena.     - Fena! [11:44] Makaba     Fena. [11:45] Otto     Lady Fena! [11:47] Salman     Lady Fena! [11:50] Fena     I... I'll... [11:54] ---      [12:16] Karin     What the--? [12:18] Shitan     What's that? [12:20] Sailor     Come back here! [12:24] Kaede     This is bad!     It's coming down! [12:25] Enju     Crap!     Tsubaki! What do we do? [12:29] Tsubaki     We retreat! [12:30] Karin     What about Fena and Yukimaru? [12:31] Shitan     Shouldn't we go help them?! [12:33] Tsubaki     If we tried to reach them now,     we'd all die! Besides! [12:36] Tsubaki     No matter how bad things have looked,     he's always made it back to us alive! [12:40] Makaba     Fena has Yukimaru with her! [12:45] Shitan     Let's trust in Yukimaru.     He'll find a way through this. [12:50] Shitan     And on that note, [12:51] Shitan     let's do what we came to do ASAP     and then pick up Yukimaru and Fena. [12:56] Shitan     If we died here,     it would be a sick joke. [13:07] Yukimaru     Fena! [13:20] Yukimaru     Fena? Is that you? [13:29] Fena     Yukimaru... [13:31] Yukimaru     What happened to you? [13:33] Fena     Thank goodness...     I'm glad you're okay! [13:38] Yukimaru     Let's get out of here!     This place is falling apart! [13:41] Yukimaru     Hurry! [13:47] Fena     I can't go with you. [13:50] Yukimaru     What are... What are you saying? [13:55] Fena     I've... I've been running away     from all sorts of memories. [13:59] Fena     Things I've tried     not to remember. [14:02] Fena     But there was one thing     that I could never forget. [14:07] Fena     And that's you. [14:12] Fena     I always remembered you. [14:15] Fena     My memories of you     were always there with me. [14:19] Fena     Of when I sang, when I danced,     when we fished... [14:22] Fena     Of when you got mad     because I got carried away. [14:24] Fena     I always had faith that you     would come and find me. [14:28] Fena     That's what kept me going     even when I was all alone. [14:32] Fena     It's because you promised me.     So I was able to keep going. [14:38] Fena     And sure enough,     you really did find me! [14:42] Fena     You'd gotten taller, and your face     was hidden by that helmet, [14:46] Fena     but I knew it was you     the instant I saw you! [14:48] Fena     Then I left the island     and met the rest of the guys. [14:50] Fena     They're rowdy and love to     goof around together. [14:53] Fena     But they're precious friends that I can     always count on when the chips are down. [14:58] Fena     Every moment of this journey     is a precious memory to me! [15:03] Fena     But all those memories,     all those feelings, [15:07] Fena     I'm going to lose them all. [15:16] Fena     Listen, Yukimaru. [15:22] Fena     Thank you for keeping me     safe all this time. [15:25] Fena     I'm sorry I made     so much trouble for you! [15:27] Fena     But you don't need to worry     about me anymore! [15:30] Fena     I'll try to create a future     where you all survive! [15:33] Fena     It might be a really hard future, [15:36] Fena     but if anyone can make their way     through it, it's you guys! [15:39] Fena     I know it! I know 'cause you     guys are all strong! [15:41] Fena     Way, way stronger     than I am! [15:45] Fena     Even when I'm gone,     you guys will be... You'll be... [15:59] Yukimaru     It's all right. You don't     have to say anything. [16:05] Yukimaru     I'll keep you safe.     Come what may, [16:10] Yukimaru     ...I'll be at your side. [16:20] Fena     What am I gonna do, Yukimaru? [16:23] Fena     I... I can't believe I'm     gonna stop being me! [16:28] Fena     I'm gonna forget about you guys.     I'm gonna forget you, Yukimaru. [16:32] Fena     I'm scared... I'm so scared... [16:35] Fena     But I can't choose just you...     I like all of you guys so much... [16:41] Fena     So I can't do it... [16:43] Fena     I tried so hard to think of another way,     but this is the only option. [16:48] Fena     But... I'm scared. [16:50] Yukimaru     I'll always be with you. [16:53] Yukimaru     No matter what happens,     you will always be you. [17:01] Fena     I always knew you were nice     deep down, Yukimaru. [17:11] Fena     Thank you. [17:25] Yukimaru     Fena... [17:27] Fena     Thank you for everything,     Yukimaru! [17:43] Yukimaru     Don't, Fena!     Don't go! [17:45] Yukimaru     Our journey isn't over yet! [17:49] Fena     I'm glad that I met you.     That I met all of you. [17:56] Yukimaru     I'll never forget you,     not ever! [18:01] Yukimaru     No matter where you might be!     Even if you've forgotten who you are! [18:06] Yukimaru     I'll find you, no matter what! [18:08] Yukimaru     I'll find you,     and I'll make you remember! [18:17] Fena     Yukimaru, listen to me. [18:22] Fena     I care for you, Yukimaru. [18:25] Fena     I have for a long, long time now. [18:29] Fena     And I always will. [18:34] Yukimaru     Don't go, Fena... [18:38] Yukimaru     Don't go. [18:41] Yukimaru     FENA! [19:12] Yukimaru     Fena! Where are you?!     Fena! Fe-- [19:39] Yukimaru     Fena... [19:53] Fena     Who... are you? [19:58] Fena     And who am-- [20:06] Yukimaru     I'm Yukimaru. [20:11] Yukimaru     And you're... Fena. [20:16] Tsubaki     Hey! Yukimaru! Fena! [20:19] Karin     Fena! [20:26] Tsubaki & Karin     - Look at this!     - We're glad you made it! [20:32] Yukimaru     Fena. [20:36] Yukimaru     Let's go back. [20:39] Yukimaru     Back to the others. [20:49] Tsubaki & Karin     - You don't remember anything?     - That's what she says. [21:07] Karin     Now, relax your shoulder! [21:21] Kaede     So, where should we go? [21:25] Mary & Hannah     - Where are you, my beloved?     - What do you even see in that guy? [21:28] Charlotte     You two are such little children! [21:31] Enju     - Anything ring any bells, Fena?     - Er... [21:33] Kaede     Relax, there's no rush! [21:57] Salman     Lady Fena! [22:02] Angie & Salman     - Fena!     - Lady Fena! [22:05] Angie & Otto     - Fena!     - Lady Fena! [22:07] Otto     You look as well as ever! [22:12] Fena     Mister! Are you two okay? [22:19] Karin     Fena! Keep up! [22:21] Fena     Coming! [22:32] Franz     Are you hoping to find     scraps of your memories? [22:38] Karin     Fena! [22:40] Karin     Get a move on, or we really are     gonna leave your butt behind! [22:43] Fena     Coming! [22:47] Karin     You have to stop     spacing out like that! [22:56] Yukimaru     Fena... [23:01] Fena     What's this? [23:04] Yukimaru     Keep it. Karin forged it     and I honed it. [23:07] Fena     I... [23:09] Yukimaru     Do you remember it? [23:12] Yukimaru     You don't have to try     to force the memories. [23:16] Yukimaru     Let them come back to you     bit by bit. [23:20] Yukimaru     Whatever happens, I'll protect you. [23:24] Yukimaru     I'll always be at your side. [23:28] Fena     Yukimaru... [23:31] Yukimaru     No matter how much time passes,     even if I grow old and frail, [23:36] Yukimaru     my feelings will never change. [23:41] Yukimaru     I love you. [23:44] Yukimaru     Ow! Fena? [24:02] Fena     I've been wanting to hear him     say those words for ages.
