[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.
[00:27] ---
    Whoa, wicked! We can see it now!
[00:30] ---
    Awesome!
[00:31] ---
    Wow!
[00:32] ---
    So that land is Avalon, is it?
[00:34] ---
    It's more like the empire
    than I thought. Pretty idyllic, isn't it?
[00:38] ---
    This brings back memories.
[00:52] ---
    Oh yeah! I'm first!
[00:54] ---
    --Yeah! We reached the new continent!
    --Yeah! We reached the new continent!
[00:58] ---
    We're still on the dock;
    we haven't reached the home soil yet!
[01:00] ---
    --Find some home soil!
    --Find some home soil!
[01:02] ---
    --Oh!
    --It's soil!
[01:04] ---
    Whoa, this is the soil of
    another nation! Eat it, eat it!
[01:07] ---
    Mm, yum.
[01:08] ---
    Bleah! No it isn't! We can't eat this!
[01:11] ---
    You guys are too hyped up.
[01:13] ---
    Lieutenant Pan...
[01:15] ---
    Yeah, this reminds me
    of the training academy.
[01:17] ---
    What kind of training academy?!
[01:19] ---
    "Knight King was here"
[01:22] ---
    I'm going to the post to draw supplies.
[01:24] ---
    I know we don't often get to go out of
    the empire, but there's no time to waste.
[01:28] ---
    I'll show you the way.
[01:29] ---
    Takeru!
[01:30] ---
    Ma! Ya came out to meet me?
[01:34] ---
    You betcha. Muh son's done come home!
[01:38] ---

[01:40] ---
    She shore is. This here's muh mom.
[01:44] ---
    I 'preciate ya lookin' after muh boy.
[01:47] ---
    Well now, as long as she's here,
[01:49] ---
    why don't you chat with your mom
    until the supplies are ready?
[01:52] ---
    Huh? Ya shore 'bout that?
[01:54] ---
    Thank ya mightily!
[01:59] ---
    Takeru, ya done gone at
    gotten even bigger, aint'cha?
[02:02] ---
    Huh, ya reckon? Ma, is Pa still doin' okay?
[02:08] ---
    Takeru, don'tcha go worryin' 'bout us none.
[02:12] ---
    S'long's ya go to Tokyo,
    fetch yerself a purdy bride,
[02:15] ---
    and come on back home to us...
[02:18] ---
    What's wrong, Ma? Ya look
    like ya got the blues.
[02:21] ---
    Oh, do I? Takeru, ya got'cher self
    a mission, ain'tcha?
[02:27] ---
    Never you fret.
[02:28] ---
    Is somethin' the matter?
[02:30] ---
    Y'all kin tell me!
[02:33] ---
    Huh? Someone's done tore up the fields?
[02:36] ---
    Yeah, just a mite.
[02:38] ---
    But folks in the village
    ain't got no reason to do this.
[02:42] ---
    Who in tarnation'd do this?
[02:46] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:49] ---
    Where are you headed to?
[02:50] ---
    Someplace farther west.
[02:53] ---
    I think we're headed toward a spatial rift.
[02:54] ---
    "Destination"
[02:56] ---
    Watch out for bandits on the road.
    Also, once you leave here,
[03:00] ---
    there's a strange gas in the air.
[03:02] ---
    Gas?
[03:03] ---
    This is the place where
    we're heading to, right?
[03:07] ---
    How come the whole continent
    seems to be shifted here?
[03:11] ---
    Juggernaut, lead the way.
[03:13] ---
    Oh, yes, sir!
[03:15] ---
    Sorry, Ma and Pa. Gotta go do muh mission.
[03:19] ---
    Ain't no time to hunt down
    the rascal's been wreckin' the fields.
[03:22] ---
    Never ya mind. Takeru, you just
    go 'bout doin' what ya gotta be doin'.
[03:27] ---
    Do a proper job, now,
    so's yer not draggin' the others down.
[03:30] ---
    Mm-hmm, you betcha!
[03:32] ---
    I'm a Fire Soldier, y'know.
[03:36] ---
    We're heading out!
[03:38] ---
    Next time ya come home,
    bring back a purdy bride with ya.
[03:42] ---
    A-A bride?
[03:44] ---
    Here we go. Let's uncover
    the Evangelist's secrets!
[03:48] ---
    Okay then, please excuse us!
[03:51] ---
    Y'all take care, now!
[03:53] ---
    We'll be back later!
[05:26] ---
    "Episode 7:
    Road to the Oasis"
[05:34] ---
    I told them to wear gas masks.
[05:37] ---
    --Yeah!
    --Yeah!
[05:38] ---
    Hell yeah!
[05:40] ---
    --Ho yeah!
    --Ho yeah!
[05:45] ---
    I mean, I did tell them.
[05:47] ---
    That there's a gas prevalent around here
[05:49] ---
    that is fast-acting and
    acts like a stimulant.
[05:52] ---
    --Hell yeah!
    --Hell yeah!
[05:54] ---
    You go, Juggernaut!
[05:56] ---
    Ho! Ho! Ho!
[05:58] ---
    Hello? Mama? I'm not coming home tonight!
[06:03] ---
    Huh? Where am I staying?
    There's no way I'm telling you!
[06:07] ---
    I mean, I'm on the Chinese Peninsula!
    This phone call's not getting through!
[06:12] ---
    Woo-hoo! It's hot! If it's gonna be hot,
    I'm gonna dance!
[06:16] ---
    I clear my mind of
    mundane thoughts, and I am cool.
[06:20] ---
    Oh, hostile rocks sighted!
[06:23] ---
    Preparing to intercept! Set!
[06:25] ---
    Whirr! Clank!
[06:27] ---
    Click! Fire!
[06:32] ---
    Hostiles obliterated!
[06:33] ---
    Yay!
[06:35] ---
    It must be those underground gases
    coming from those cracks in the surface.
[06:40] ---
    Lieutenant Pan, do you
    know what our mission is?
[06:44] ---
    To find the cause of the
    Great Cataclysm 200 years ago
[06:49] ---
    and anything to do with Adolla Bursts
    around that spatial rift, duh!
[06:54] ---
    At least we're still clear about that much.
[06:56] ---
    Of course we are.
[06:59] ---
    Hey, you kids! Knock off that
    stupid horsing around and behave!
[07:04] ---
    --Yes, Sensei.
    --Yes, Sensei.
[07:06] ---
    Where are we heading right now?
[07:09] ---
    To a location northwest of here.
[07:11] ---
    We're heading to a place that
    measures high in Adolla Bursts.
[07:15] ---
    It will take a while to get there,
[07:16] ---
    so please don't use up
    your energy goofing around.
[07:20] ---
    I hope we get there soon.
[07:26] ---
    We might find some intelligence
    connected to the Evangelist,
[07:29] ---
    and how it relates to the 250-year-old
    Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
[07:35] ---
    Whoa, crap, what's that?
[07:38] ---
    It's like that rock has been
    watching us this whole time.
[07:41] ---
    Tamaki, you freaked out?
[07:43] ---
    No, I'm not!
[07:45] ---
    It's too regular to have been
    created by weathering.
[07:48] ---
    No simple natural phenomenon
    would make that happen.
[07:52] ---
    Could the Adolla Bursts created by
    the Great Cataclysm have affected it?
[07:56] ---
    Wow, the turn of the century is terrifying!
[07:59] ---
    I cleared my mind of
    mundane thoughts, and now I'm cold.
[08:01] ---
    Put a sock in it. There's still some time
    before we get there, so go to sleep.
[08:08] ---
    H-Help me!
[08:11] ---
    What? I heard a voice coming from outside!
[08:15] ---
    Huh?!
[08:22] ---
    Wh-What the--? Are you kidding me?!
    Am I tripping on gas and seeing things?!
[08:28] ---
    No, I'm stone cold sober, and I saw it, too.
[08:31] ---
    Then, that voice I heard
    asking for help came from that huge thing?
[08:36] ---
    No! It was me!
[08:39] ---
    Are you guys from the
    Xinqing Dao base? Save me!
[08:44] ---
    Whew, that was close. That's what happens
    when you raid Giant Worm turf.
[08:50] ---
    Hey, who said you could hop on?!
    You're one that thing is after!
[08:53] ---
    Don't drag us into the middle of this!
[08:55] ---
    Uh, wait, Ogun...
[09:00] ---
    --That mole just talked!
    --That mole just talked!
[09:04] ---
    You abominable infernal familiar!
    I'll feed you right to that earthworm!
[09:08] ---
    Whoa! S-Stop!
[09:12] ---
    A potato?!
[09:14] ---
    Judging by the feel, size, and smell...
[09:18] ---
    ...there's no doubt about it.
    This is one of our potatoes!
[09:22] ---
    Are you the one who ruined
    my family's field?!
[09:24] ---
    S-Spare me! This is your first time
    in the area, right? I know it well!
[09:29] ---
    If you'll let me, I'll get you
    to your destination safely!
[09:32] ---
    That is a whole different matter!
[09:35] ---
    Pan-sensei, here it comes!
[09:37] ---
    Watch my driving technique!
[09:41] ---
    Sorry, this is too much!
    Shinra, Ogun, do something!
[09:45] ---
    Let's go, Ogun!
[09:46] ---
    Just as I was getting bored, too!
[09:50] ---
    Yoruba Spear!
[09:57] ---
    Ogun, I'm gonna draw the earthworm away!
[10:00] ---
    Yoruba Forge!
[10:02] ---
    "Yoruba Forge"
[10:05] ---
    Over here, you earthworm bastard!
[10:08] ---
    This area is Giant Worm territory!
[10:11] ---
    If don't move around carefully,
    you'll get two or three of them attacking!
[10:14] ---
    For that matter, where are you guys headed?
[10:16] ---
    We're headed for a spatial rift.
[10:19] ---
    Rift? Oh, I know that area well.
[10:23] ---
    You know it?
[10:24] ---
    Do I know it? That's where I--
[10:29] ---
    That's where you guys are headed?
[10:31] ---
    I anticipated a harsh environment here,
    because of the Adolla Bursts,
[10:36] ---
    but apparently, it's also a place where
    animals speak our language, too.
[10:40] ---
    That was an oasis for all of us.
[10:45] ---
    If they hadn't have come there,
[10:48] ---
    I wouldn't have had to steal these potatoes.
[10:51] ---
    If you guys are going there, then so am I.
    I want to take back the Oasis!
[10:57] ---
    Monster earthworm,
    you'll have to face Shinra-Man!
[11:06] ---
    Hey, over here, you earthworm bastard!
[11:10] ---
    Hey, hey, hey!
[11:13] ---
    Whoa!
[11:23] ---
    We've gotten the earthworm
    pretty far away from the others, huh?
[11:26] ---
    Our diversion is a success!
[11:32] ---
    It looks like the earthworm is giving up.
[11:35] ---
    Nicely done. Get back here!
[11:42] ---
    Now that we're here, we can relax.
[11:45] ---
    Who the hell are you?!
[11:47] ---
    He's a dirty potato-thieving mole!
[11:51] ---
    What do you have to say for yourself?
[11:55] ---
    I'm here from the Oasis further to the west.
[12:00] ---
    Unlike this wilderness, it has both
    plant life and water. A true paradise.
[12:06] ---
    An oasis in a wasteland like this?
[12:09] ---
    I find that hard to believe.
[12:11] ---
    I had lots of friends there,
    but they were all driven out of the Oasis.
[12:20] ---
    Huh?
[12:21] ---
    There are crows in this land, huh?
[12:23] ---
    Ah, is that...?
[12:25] ---
    Hey, Yata!
[12:27] ---
    Hmm? You guys wait here.
[12:32] ---
    Hey, Scop, who are these guys?
[12:35] ---
    That crow is one of my
    friends from the Oasis.
[12:38] ---
    You're soldiers from Xinqing Dao?
    We don't see you this far inland too often.
[12:44] ---
    I went to borrow some potatoes
    from there and got caught.
[12:47] ---
    What are you, dense?
[12:49] ---
    Stay underground the rest of
    your life rather than get caught!
[12:51] ---
    First a talking mole, now a talking crow.
[12:55] ---
    Hey, we're Fire Soldiers!
[12:57] ---
    Fire Soldiers?
[12:59] ---
    What are your kind doing
    all the way out here?
[13:02] ---
    We're here on an investigation.
[13:03] ---
    We can sort this out later.
    We're camping here for the night.
[13:07] ---
    While we won't have any
    trouble making a fire,
[13:09] ---
    it will be a pain if we wait until it's dark.
[13:17] ---
    Hmm-hmm, toasted marshmallows!
[13:21] ---
    You say you're going to the Oasis
    to investigate Adolla Bursts?
[13:25] ---
    That's what we're doing, all right.
[13:27] ---
    Is the fact that you can speak
    in our language due to Adolla, too?
[13:31] ---
    Huh? No idea. Most, like the guys
    behind us, can't speak.
[13:36] ---
    How about you tell us more
    about yourselves now?
[13:39] ---
    You said you were driven out of the Oasis?
[13:42] ---
    Yeah.
[13:44] ---
    One day, a mysterious group just showed up.
[13:47] ---
    Without a word, they started attacking
    those of us who lived at the Oasis.
[13:54] ---
    We've been chased out
    of the Oasis ever since.
[13:57] ---
    Which is why you ran out of food,
    and went to steal those potatoes.
[14:01] ---
    So that's what happened.
[14:03] ---
    My head had gone from
    vole-like to vociferous!
[14:05] ---
    "Vole-like"
[14:06] ---
    "Vociferous"
[14:09] ---
    It sure gets dark without
    any city lights, huh?
[14:13] ---
    Yeah.
[14:15] ---
    Hmm? Hey, look at that.
[14:19] ---
    What are those lights?
[14:20] ---
    Yeah, you're right. It was too bright
    during the day to see them.
[14:24] ---
    Over here, too. They're all over the place.
[14:29] ---
    Awesome. This is so pretty.
    Like stars scattered across the ground.
[14:35] ---
    What are they, though?
[14:41] ---
    I-Infernals?
[14:44] ---
    Y-You mean, all of them?
[14:47] ---
    You can see those? I can't see them at all
    with my night blindness.
[14:51] ---
    You have sharp eyes.
[14:54] ---
    Those are Infernals, just like you said.
[14:58] ---
    Some have been wandering around
    since the Great Cataclysm 250 years ago.
[15:02] ---
    Infernals don't die until they're put to rest.
    I'd heard that before, but...
[15:08] ---
    We need to hurry and put them to rest.
[15:11] ---
    What, just us?
[15:13] ---
    Forget it. There's too many of them.
[15:15] ---
    I've heard the stories.
    Over on your island across the sea,
[15:19] ---
    you kill your Infernals, right?
[15:21] ---
    Kill-- Well, yeah.
[15:24] ---
    Also the ground is unstable down there.
[15:27] ---
    If you're careless, it'll crumble beneath you,
    and you'll go face down into lava.
[15:31] ---
    Give it up.
[15:34] ---
    What's the deal with you guys, anyway?
[15:36] ---
    Beats me. I don't know.
[15:39] ---
    We never thought twice about what we were
[15:42] ---
    until you humans came along
    and considered us unusual.
[15:52] ---
    Those are all Infernals...
[15:57] ---
    And it's not just those people, either.
[15:59] ---
    There are other Infernals
    still burning throughout the world.
[16:04] ---
    For their sake as well,
[16:07] ---
    we have to find out the truth about
    the Great Cataclysm and Adolla Bursts.
[16:11] ---
    I'm going to go get Tamaki.
    She can at least say a prayer for them.
[16:25] ---
    The Oasis is just up ahead.
[16:27] ---
    It's been an uneventful trip,
    thanks to my navigation, right?
[16:30] ---
    Do you trust me a little more now?
[16:33] ---
    Trust hell. There's too much about
    this area we just don't know about.
[16:38] ---
    We'll take any help we can get,
    moles and crows included.
[16:42] ---
    Once you climb up that rock,
    you can see the whole Oasis.
[16:45] ---
    Aw...
[16:47] ---
    We have to climb this?
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, there's no way.
[16:50] ---
    I'm going on ahead to see
    what the situation is.
[16:53] ---
    I'll go on ahead, too, sir.
[16:54] ---
    Be careful.
[16:57] ---
    Okay, let's go.
[16:58] ---
    You're a human, and you can fly?
[17:01] ---
    Hey, you with all the hair and the mask,
[17:03] ---
    you don't have to worry about
    the gas here, thanks to the Oasis.
[17:07] ---
    Really?
[17:10] ---
    You're right. Doesn't
    seem to be an issue, huh?
[17:13] ---
    --I'll bet you that we could
    grow some great potatoes here.
[17:16] ---
    --Again with the potatoes?
    --I'll bet you that we could
    grow some great potatoes here.
[17:18] ---
    The breeze is pretty gentle around here.
[17:21] ---
    Fly quietly, now.
[17:22] ---
    Got it.
[17:24] ---
    We'll look from behind here.
    Be sure to stay low.
[17:31] ---
    This area is the only one with plant life...
[17:35] ---
    It is all thanks to the Tabernacle.
[17:37] ---
    The Tabernacle?
[17:38] ---
    You can see it over there, right?
[17:40] ---
    What are you talking about?
[17:43] ---
    --What's that doing here?!
    --You idiot! Stay low!
[17:46] ---
    You know about the Tabernacle?
[17:49] ---
    Do I know about it?
    That's the keystone of the Tokyo Empire...
[17:55] ---
    ...Amaterasu, isn't it?
    What is it doing here?
[18:01] ---
    There's no way I'd mistake that.
[18:02] ---
    Hey, you'll draw attention! Crouch down!
[18:06] ---
    That's something Vulcan's ancestors
    were supposed to have built.
[18:10] ---
    Shinra-kun is right.
[18:12] ---
    It's a little bit smaller,
    but that's Amaterasu.
[18:15] ---
    Is it really Amaterasu?
[18:17] ---
    Even if it isn't,
[18:19] ---
    the fact that something identical to it
    exists here is strange enough itself.
[18:22] ---
    We'll need to get down there
    and start investigating.
[18:24] ---
    The Tabernacle is at the center of the Oasis.
    I'll show you the way. Follow me.
[18:34] ---
    There are man-made items here and there, huh?
[18:37] ---
    Yeah. Over there, too.
[18:39] ---
    There are a lot of things here from
    the time before the Great Cataclysm.
[18:43] ---
    These trees look perfectly healthy.
[18:46] ---
    The Tabernacle is up ahead to the northwest.
[18:49] ---
    Hey, if the Tabernacle
    is the same as Amaterasu,
[18:52] ---
    it means that the Tabernacle's energy source
    is an Adolla Burst, right?
[18:56] ---
    Is the Adolla Burst the reason why
    all this nature has returned here?
[19:00] ---
    Weren't Vulcan's ancestors the ones
    who built Amaterasu in the first place?
[19:04] ---
    History says that the Holy Sol Temple
    and Vulcan-kun's ancestors built it,
[19:08] ---
    but depending on whether
    Tokyo's Amaterasu or this Tabernacle
[19:11] ---
    was the first one built, that could change.
[19:14] ---
    So there's a chance
    the one in Tokyo came second.
[19:17] ---
    Either way,
[19:19] ---
    if this much of nature has been reborn
    through the power of an Adolla Burst,
[19:22] ---
    it means that they will be useful
    in reviving the world, right?
[19:26] ---
    Adolla Bursts really are
    unsullied, sacred flames.
[19:30] ---
    Or, on the other hand, they could be
    the cause of the world's destruction.
[19:36] ---
    We're getting close to
    the center of the Oasis.
[19:41] ---
    Hold up!
[19:42] ---
    Look! We've arrived at a pillar.
    These pillars surround the Tabernacle.
[19:48] ---
    Then, we're almost there!
[19:50] ---
    "Tabernacle"
    "Pillar" "Pillar"
[19:50] ---
    But the area ahead is
    also the bandits' territory.
[19:54] ---
    Since our objective here is to investigate,
[19:56] ---
    we'd like to avoid fighting if we can.
[19:58] ---
    You can't possibly fight against this bunch!
[20:00] ---
    He's right.
[20:01] ---
    There's no reasoning with them.
[20:06] ---
    Lieutenant Pan, we could be closing in
[20:09] ---
    on the very core of the mystery
    behind human combustion.
[20:12] ---
    Even if Scop is right,
    and we can't negotiate with this group,
[20:17] ---
    we need to investigate,
    even if it means by force.
[20:20] ---
    Yeah! Yeah! You go, hero!
[20:22] ---
    That's outside the scope of our mission.
[20:24] ---
    We can't just rush in and
    start fighting outside parties.
[20:29] ---
    I won't let anyone stand in the way
    of investigating the Great Cataclysm.
[20:32] ---
    Are you starting again?
[20:33] ---
    We can't just turn around
    after coming this far!
[20:36] ---
    I agree with Kusakabe, sir.
[20:38] ---
    Of course we aren't going to.
    But we are Fire Soldiers, not the military.
[20:43] ---
    Combat will always be our last option.
[20:45] ---
    We'll settle this by
    peaceful negotiation if we can.
[20:48] ---
    Just a minute! I led you all the way here,
    right? Take our Oasis back for us!
[20:53] ---
    Not until we speak with them
    and see how they respond.
[20:55] ---
    "Aaah"
[20:55] ---
    I already told you,
    there's no reasoning with them!
[20:58] ---
    I'm begging you, help us!
[21:02] ---
    Ee-yow!
[21:05] ---
    Infernal dogs?
[21:06] ---
    What do you mean, "Infernal dogs"?
    Those are Hell Hounds!
[21:09] ---
    Fine, whichever! Run!
[21:10] ---
    I told you, there's no reasoning with them!
[21:13] ---
    No, not if they're dogs!
[21:15] ---
    Get up in the trees!
[21:16] ---
    Wah! I'm scared! Help me! Someone help me!
[21:19] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
    May thy soul return to the great flame of fire.
[21:27] ---
    Látom.
[21:30] ---
    Freeing dogs from the flames
    is the job of Fire Soldiers,
[21:34] ---
    the same as it is for people, right?
[21:36] ---
    Tamaki...
[21:38] ---
    If they were dogs, you should have
    said so from the start.
[21:41] ---
    Like there's any humans around here.
[21:46] ---
    My friends were killed by those dogs.
[21:50] ---
    Sure, we fought back! It's just...
[21:54] ---
    It's just what?
[21:55] ---
    Their boss is even worse, and there was
    nothing we could do about that one!
[22:02] ---
    Protect the forest.
[22:05] ---
    Is that... an Adolla Link?
[22:11] ---
    Protect...
[22:12] ---
    Where is it coming from?
[22:14] ---
    ...the forest.
[22:17] ---
    Protect the forest.

[24:01] ---
    The Tabernacle lies in
    the center of the forest.
[24:03] ---
    It is a cherished location that was once
    taken from Scop-san and the others.
[24:08] ---
    Why was something so cherished
    taken away from them?
[24:11] ---
    They came from beyond the spatial rift
[24:14] ---
    to once again recreate this world.
