[00:02] ---
    Causes of death are many and varied.
    Old age, suicide, illness...
[00:08] ---
    But the cause of death that scares
    the most people in this day and age...
[00:16] ---
    ...is death by fire.
[00:21] ---
    "Testing Area"
[00:27] ---
    Come to the special care room!
[00:29] ---
    Something unusual is happening to Nataku Son!
[00:34] ---
    I-It's hot! My right arm is hot!
[00:45] ---
    Is that...?
[00:46] ---
    Fire...!
[00:50] ---
    We're observing an Adolla Burst from
    Nataku Son in the special care room?
[00:54] ---
    Nataku Son? So he really is here.
[00:58] ---
    This is a classified matter.
[00:59] ---
    It's not something to be
    discussed with outsiders.
[01:02] ---
    --Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
[01:02] ---
    --So the Sixth Pillar's
    Adolla Burst has awakened.
    --Kurono-kun, the experiment is on hold!
[01:07] ---
    Then did Shinra-kun's Adolla Burst
    end up being the trigger?
[01:15] ---
    Come in.
[01:16] ---
    Captain Obi, do you read me?
[01:19] ---
    The situation has taken a turn.
[01:26] ---
    Wha--?!
[01:27] ---
    Shinra and Licht are in trouble! Hurry, Vulcan!
[01:30] ---
    If anything happens to those two,
    you'll pay, Haijima!
[01:34] ---
    This is war, you dumb bastards!
[01:39] ---
    A Matchbox has broken through!
[01:41] ---
    We're currently tracking down whose it is!
[01:43] ---
    That was fast. I haven't even
    told them anything yet.
[03:17] ---
    "Episode 15:
    A Three-Way Melee"
[03:22] ---
    What's going on in there?!
[03:23] ---
    The temperature inside the room
    is continuing to rise.
[03:26] ---
    What are those two doing?!
[03:27] ---
    We're still reading them,
    but there's been no change.
[03:30] ---
    I won't let them kill you.
    I promise, I'll protect you.
[03:34] ---
    Inspector Licht, even if you are a Haijima spy,
[03:36] ---
    you've still saved me time and again.
[03:38] ---
    You're someone we definitely need at the 8th.
[03:42] ---
    They don't hesitate to
    risk their lives for their friends.
[03:45] ---
    So this is what the 8th is.
[03:48] ---
    It's the strangest thing.
    Maybe I've been there too long,
[03:50] ---
    --The speakers are still connected, right?
    --but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
    I'll go along with this.
[03:53] ---
    --Yes, they should still be working.
    --but they seem to be rubbing off on me.
    I'll go along with this.
[03:56] ---
    All right...
[03:57] ---
    Kurono-kun, the test is canceled!
    Head over to where Nataku-kun is!
[04:02] ---
    "Open"
    "Testing Area"
[04:07] ---
    --What are you doing?!
    --Shinra-kun,
[04:08] ---
    there's no need to play along
    with the experiment anymore!
[04:10] ---
    Let's get out of here!
[04:14] ---
    Why, you!
[04:17] ---
    I won't be outdone in a nerd fight!
[04:21] ---
    Nab him!
[04:24] ---
    Licht-san!
[04:25] ---
    Nataku Son is here after all. It sounds like
    his Adolla Burst has awakened.
[04:33] ---
    I knew they were hiding something!
[04:35] ---
    That cry for help through
    my Adolla Link was for real!
[04:38] ---
    The 8th will safeguard Nataku!
[04:47] ---
    What's all the commotion?
[04:53] ---
    The 8th has broken in! You have to
    keep Nataku-kun from them!
[04:58] ---
    The Fire Force, huh? There are probably
    some weaklings among them.
[05:04] ---
    I'm going to take on the weaker ones first.
[05:09] ---
    Where are Shinra and Licht?
[05:12] ---
    Vulcan, eyes forward.
[05:14] ---
    It's just a little doll, isn't it?
[05:16] ---
    I'll run right over it!
[05:24] ---
    Spider Wire on!
[05:36] ---
    Is everyone okay?
[05:40] ---
    What's that now?!
[05:45] ---
    Hostile object spotted. Countering with Tekkyo.
[05:51] ---
    Don't tell me that thing did all that!
[05:53] ---
    What do you mean?
[05:55] ---
    That's what flipped the Matchbox over.
[05:58] ---
    How can it be so powerful at that size?
[06:01] ---
    What the hell kind of generators
    are Haijima using?
[06:06] ---
    Ah, wait! Look at where those cables lead!
[06:13] ---
    Oh, my, what brings you here?
[06:17] ---
    I've been tasked with watching the children,
    since they're scared of Kurono,
[06:21] ---
    and now I get to teach
    the Fire Force some manners, too?
[06:26] ---
    Do you know what this angel
    belt buckle means? It means I'm a nice lady.
[06:31] ---
    Maki-san, I'll back you up!
[06:35] ---
    I'm not about to be bested by any Haijima mech!
[06:38] ---
    Dominions, let's play with
    our bigger friends now!
[06:44] ---
    Where is Nataku?!
[06:46] ---
    They said he was in the special care room.
[06:48] ---
    Secure Nataku Son at once!
[06:52] ---
    --Shinra-kun...
    --Right.
[06:54] ---
    Looks like he's that way!
[06:56] ---
    Whoa...
[07:00] ---
    You shouldn't do that to
    the nice security guards, you know.
[07:03] ---
    L-Let... Let me go!
[07:08] ---
    You're too late.
[07:11] ---
    Sputter! Flare!
[07:16] ---
    Boom!
[07:18] ---
    They got deflected?!
[07:21] ---
    One more time!
[07:24] ---
    They got fired on?!
[07:28] ---
    Hit them one more time with a Poot-Poot Blaster!
[07:31] ---
    --Poot-Poot Blaster?!
    --Poot-Poot Blaster?!
[07:36] ---
    "Pbbt"
[07:38] ---
    How lowbrow. I definitely
    don't want to get hit by that.
[07:42] ---
    Oh, the children love that one.
[07:45] ---
    Don't you Fire Soldiers,
    the heroes of children, know that?
[07:50] ---
    Dominions and I raced here
    to put smiles on the children's faces.
[07:55] ---
    Please don't spoil the children's day of fun.
[07:59] ---
    We know that you Haijima people
    mistreat the children!
[08:02] ---
    "Day of fun" my ass! Screw that!
[08:07] ---
    What's the name of that mech you made?
[08:11] ---
    What?
[08:14] ---
    I asked what their name is.
[08:16] ---
    The Twin Hover Units, Tekkyo!
[08:20] ---
    The what? Too hard to follow.
[08:21] ---
    What? What are you talking about?
[08:24] ---
    That's too hard for the children to understand.
[08:27] ---
    Hmm, let's see...
[08:31] ---
    If it were up to me, going by
    the way they look, I'd call them...
[08:35] ---
    "Caterpillies."
[08:37] ---
    That's adorable! I love it!
[08:38] ---
    No way!
[08:40] ---
    Why not?
[08:41] ---
    You're the one who said they should
    have an animal name, weren't you?
[08:44] ---
    Maki-san, you just don't get it!
[08:46] ---
    Giving a mech the name of a living thing
[08:48] ---
    helps to lend the inorganic mech
    a little more creature-istic...
[08:52] ---
    ...what do you call it? Affinity?
    That's the whole reason for the name!
[08:56] ---
    But "Caterpillies" is out of the question!
    It doesn't have enough character!
[09:00] ---
    I want them to have some affinity,
    but mech has to be mech!
[09:03] ---
    The name has to have a certain detachment!
[09:04] ---
    In that sense, the iron owl,
    "Tekkyo" is the perfect name! It's cool!
[09:09] ---
    Wow, what an obnoxious otaku.
[09:11] ---
    --Mm-hmm.
    --Huh?!
[09:13] ---
    Mech is about dreams! I don't
    expect you to understand right off!
[09:16] ---
    Anyone who calls a mech "that dude"
    or "little guy" will never get it!
[09:19] ---
    And anyone who gives a mech a girly name
    like "cutie-pie" is simply a sicko!
[09:22] ---
    A big pervert!
[09:23] ---
    Where's the harm? If you give a mech
    a cute name and treat it with love,
[09:27] ---
    it's sure to respond in kind.
    If you build a relationship of trust,
[09:31] ---
    you'll find its performance to be even better.
[09:34] ---
    That's a ridiculous way of thinking, Haijima!
[09:36] ---
    You make it sound religious and gross.
[09:38] ---
    Mech will always be mech! You can't
    build a relationship of trust with them.
[09:42] ---
    There's no telling when they will
    break down and disappoint you.
[09:46] ---
    That's why you can't neglect their maintenance.
[09:48] ---
    People can disappoint you pretty easily, too.
[09:50] ---
    Yeah, which is why
    trusting in others is so necessary.
[09:54] ---
    You've got this. We're going to
    head out and rescue Shinra.
[10:00] ---
    We at the 8th will never betray each other!
[10:04] ---
    Now return our men to us!
[10:05] ---
    You two don't seem to understand.
[10:08] ---
    I don't treat mech as if they were people.
[10:12] ---
    I'm saying that mech and people
    are the same. Children especially so!
[10:17] ---
    What do you mean?!
[10:19] ---
    If you amuse children, they're entertained,
[10:22] ---
    and if you try to annoy them, they get upset.
[10:24] ---
    Their actions are predictable.
    I make them do as I please.
[10:28] ---
    Mech and children are both
    the instruments of adults.
[10:39] ---
    She swatted them away like it was nothing.
[10:41] ---
    Maki-san,
[10:42] ---
    that woman is probably
    a third generation pyrokinetic.
[10:45] ---
    I don't see any other reason
[10:47] ---
    how she gets that much power
    out of such a tiny mech.
[10:51] ---
    As long as she has the upper hand in power,
[10:53] ---
    there's no point in taking her on like this.
[10:55] ---
    But I can't let her get away with
    thinking of children as tools!
[11:02] ---
    I've collected enough data
    on their Caterpillies.
[11:05] ---
    Their power is stable and
    their firepower is fairly constant.
[11:10] ---
    You're a second generation pyrokinetic
    who can control flames.
[11:13] ---
    That means the edge in firepower
    goes to my Dominions.
[11:20] ---
    Do you have any ideas here?
[11:21] ---
    Let's put everything into
    a maximum-power shot with both Tekkyo!
[11:26] ---
    I believe in you, Vulcan.
[11:28] ---
    Dominions and I have this in the bag.
[11:33] ---
    My goodness, there they go, running away.
[11:40] ---
    Tekkyo switching to Fire Scene Mode!
[11:46] ---
    Charge superthermal power!
[11:49] ---
    Jet throttle circuits online.
    Release of all ports complete!
[11:54] ---
    Sanchin-style launch stance ready!
[11:57] ---
    Twin unit coordinates locked!
    Engaging maximum output!
[12:02] ---
    Maximum thrust in three... two... one...
[12:07] ---
    Judging by this data and configuration,
[12:09] ---
    I can pretty well guess their critical power.
[12:12] ---
    And sure enough, Dominions and I
    are still home free!
[12:16] ---
    In all my time watching children,
    I've never once been surprised,
[12:20] ---
    and you two are just like my children--
    you're absolutely predictable.
[12:24] ---
    Dominions, get set with a Poot-Poot!
[12:28] ---
    Critical power reached! Let's do this!
[12:32] ---
    Tekkyo, maximum output!
[12:35] ---
    90... 100... Better than I expected,
    but still not good enough.
[12:41] ---
    Violent-but-Deadly Poot-Poot Blaster!
[12:49] ---
    That's it! Keep on coming, and get blown away!
[12:55] ---
    Sputter! Flare! Hang in there!
[13:07] ---
    Power output 100... 110... 120...
[13:11] ---
    It's still climbing?
[13:14] ---
    150?!
[13:16] ---
    Are you kidding me?!
[13:17] ---
    It's not a mech you're facing; it's people!
[13:22] ---
    I can't let Vulcan's mech lose.
[13:31] ---
    Where was that mech hiding that much power?
[13:35] ---
    That was awesome, Maki-san!
[13:38] ---
    Tekkyo, you did well, too!
[13:41] ---
    If you had lost, you both
    would have been blown away.
[13:43] ---
    I can't believe you would fight so recklessly.
[13:46] ---
    Are you saying you figured on
    things turning out like this?
[13:50] ---
    We didn't figure on anything. It was trust.
[13:53] ---
    Yeah, she's right. Going by
    the numbers, it was impossible.
[13:57] ---
    But I trusted that when Maki-san gets fired up,
[13:58] ---
    she can deliver performance
    beyond the numbers!
[14:01] ---
    I also believed in your plan
    and the Tekkyo, Vulcan.
[14:09] ---
    Wow... I'm a little bit surprised.
[14:15] ---
    Let's catch up to the others.
[14:16] ---
    Right. Let's hurry.
[14:21] ---
    Just a second! Playtime isn't over yet!
[14:28] ---
    What makes you think you've beat me?
[14:35] ---
    You're kidding, right?
[14:36] ---
    We had that much trouble with just one of them!
[14:40] ---
    Why did you think it was just one?
[14:43] ---
    I told you, their name is Dominions, right?
[14:56] ---
    Licht, where are you?
[14:58] ---
    Licht, come in!
[15:01] ---
    We're in the special care room.
[15:05] ---
    Currently engaging Haijima staff in combat.
[15:07] ---
    What does the building look like?
[15:09] ---
    I'm sorry, but the thing is...
[15:13] ---
    ...visibility is poor...
[15:15] ---
    Visibility is poor?
[15:16] ---
    Northwest from the...
[15:19] ---
    ...gate...
[15:23] ---
    Shinra! Licht!
[15:27] ---
    Black smoke?
[15:28] ---
    Licht-san, keep back!
[15:30] ---
    Out of my way. Let me at
    the weak-looking guy behind you.
[15:36] ---
    Captain!
[15:38] ---
    Licht-san, go join the captain.
[15:47] ---
    Shinra, Licht, are you both okay?
[15:49] ---
    Captain, we found Nataku, but he's
    being safeguarded by Haijima staff.
[15:56] ---
    So you're crewmen from the 8th?
[15:57] ---
    Let me go! I haven't done anything!
[16:03] ---
    Not doing anything won't cut it!
    Unless you get fired up, it won't... cut... it!
[16:10] ---
    You've got this! I know you do!
[16:12] ---
    Your child abuse is
    clear to see! Let the boy go!
[16:17] ---
    Abuse, maybe, but it's my job.
[16:21] ---
    Iris, keep back!
[16:26] ---
    So the Fire Force has weaklings
    like that in their ranks?
[16:34] ---
    --What was that?!
    --Iris, don't inhale it!
[16:38] ---
    Captain Guard!
[16:43] ---
    Trying to protect the weak is a waste of time.
[16:46] ---
    Don't you have any shame?!
[16:49] ---
    "Spare the strong and quash the weak."
    "Let the world be as such."
[16:54] ---
    That is my thinking.
[16:57] ---
    Everyone is right here.
[17:00] ---
    Just as I predicted, Sixth Pillar located!
[17:05] ---
    There he is.
[17:06] ---
    Which one's the Sixth Pillar?
[17:08] ---
    Charon, what are you doing here?
    Shouldn't you be with Haumea?
[17:12] ---
    I really am supposed to be, actually.
[17:15] ---
    Pillars and their protectors are a set.
[17:18] ---
    But Haumea got too annoyed at me,
    and told me to get lost.
[17:24] ---
    Yeah, I get that. I went through
    a period like that with my father.
[17:29] ---
    Come to think of it, he died during that period.
[17:31] ---
    Do all girls your age go through
    this sort of thing? Well, shoot.
[17:37] ---
    That doesn't mean you had to
    come with me, though.
[17:39] ---
    You could have just been quiet and stood by.
[17:42] ---
    Inca, are you treating me like a pest, too?
[17:45] ---
    Yes she is, Charon-san.
[17:47] ---
    I am here to keep Miss Inca safe.
[17:51] ---
    Me, her protector maid.
[17:54] ---
    We're both protectors here, so let's just
    get along and guard the Pillar, Ritsu.
[17:58] ---
    Silence, Char-oaf.
    Only my master gives me orders.
[18:02] ---
    Ch-Char-oaf?!
[18:04] ---
    Fine. Ritsu, you take Inca.
    Which one is the next Pillar?
[18:09] ---
    The kid being carried in that guy's arm.
[18:15] ---
    Things are about to get fun again.
[18:18] ---
    Let's recover him.
[18:21] ---
    Stop treating him so rough!
[18:24] ---
    I'm warning you--you stronger ones,
    leave the weak here and go!
[18:33] ---
    Not you!
[18:34] ---
    The Sixth Pillar is ours!
[18:40] ---
    No reaction?
[18:44] ---
    CLAP!
[18:46] ---
    --Grab the Sixth Pillar!
    --Right!
[18:47] ---
    Wah! L-Let go of me!
[18:50] ---
    H-Help!
[18:51] ---
    The White-Clad, here?
[18:55] ---
    And a body that blades can't hurt?
[18:59] ---
    What exactly is going on here?
[19:00] ---
    There you are again, Charon!
[19:02] ---
    We meet again, fire-rat.
    I'm here for the Sixth Pillar.
[19:07] ---
    How did you know there would
    be an Adolla Burst here?!
[19:11] ---
    Don't tell me it was Inca!
[19:13] ---
    Hello!
[19:14] ---
    You!
[19:15] ---
    Let's watch a whole bunch of
    people die again together!
[19:18] ---
    It's dangerous to stand that far forward.
[19:21] ---
    Ritsu, you worry too much.
[19:24] ---
    It doesn't do any good
    to worry over such little things.
[19:35] ---
    There, you see?
    There's danger all over the place.
[19:42] ---
    How are we supposed to
    take on this many of them?
[19:44] ---
    All we can really do now is run.
[19:47] ---
    Oh, don't be like that. Let's enjoy
    this puppet show together.
[19:53] ---
    Wow!
[19:57] ---
    Ah! Look what you did to my Dominions!
[20:00] ---
    Haijima-made stuff sure is fragile, huh?
[20:03] ---
    If I could have sniped them from a distance,
[20:05] ---
    we wouldn't have had to expose you
    to danger by coming so close.
[20:09] ---
    Today, you're protecting me
    instead of our precious Sho-kun,
[20:13] ---
    Arrow.
[20:15] ---
    White-Clad?
[20:17] ---
    That electricity-user is bad news.
[20:19] ---
    We need to get Arthur,
    or it will get ugly for us.
[20:25] ---
    Well, shucks. She destroyed them
    like it was child's play.
[20:29] ---
    And in the middle of a children's play, too.
[20:31] ---
    We've come for Nataku, the Sixth Pillar.
    We won't let anyone stand in our way.
[20:36] ---
    That's why I took those things
    out ahead of time.
[20:39] ---
    It's a very big no-no
    to break other people's things.
[20:42] ---
    You're a naughty little girl.
[20:45] ---
    O-ho, I think the old biddy is about to snap.
