[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...
[00:21] ---
    "Episode 9:
    The Spreading Malice"
[00:27] ---
    The children are trying so hard!
[00:31] ---
    You were supposed to
    take the fall for this crime!
[00:34] ---
    What's become of you, Tamaki?!
[00:37] ---
    --I used to like you.
    --Tamaki! What's become of you?!
[00:39] ---
    --Tamaki! What's become of you?!
[00:40] ---
    --Why are you doing this, Lieutenant Rekka...?
    --You aren't the Tamaki I thought you were!
[00:43] ---
    --Why are you doing this,
    Lieutenant Rekka...?
[00:51] ---
    Status update!
[00:52] ---
    One Infernal has appeared.
[00:54] ---
    There's a fire in the
    city limits. Let's hurry!
[01:01] ---
    Tamaki, can you keep up?
[01:03] ---
    Y-Yes, sir! I'm fine!
[01:05] ---
    There's an Infernal nearby.
    Be sure you stay with us!
[01:09] ---
    Yes, Lieutenant Rekka!
[01:15] ---
    There it is!
[01:17] ---
    Let me handle this!
[01:18] ---
    Hold it, Rekka! Don't rush into rushing in!
[01:26] ---
    The flame...
[01:29] ---
    ...is the soul's breath.
[01:31] ---
    Ashes thou wert and art.
[01:33] ---
    --Return to...
    --Return to...
[01:34] ---
    --...the great flame...
    --...the great flame...
[01:35] ---
    --...of fire!
    --...of fire!
[01:38] ---
    Látom.
[01:48] ---
    Honestly, you're always so reckless.
[01:51] ---
    Because you always have my back, Karim.
[01:55] ---
    That's because you charge ahead on your own.
[01:58] ---
    My stars!
[01:59] ---
    You can't just laugh it off,
    not even with that smile.
[02:02] ---
    My stars?
[02:03] ---
    My stars!
[02:04] ---
    --Quit flashing that flashy smile!
[02:06] ---
    --They all rely on each other. That's so cool!
    --Quit flashing that flashy smile!
[02:07] ---
    --They all rely on each
    other. That's so cool!
[02:10] ---
    Die now, Tamaki!
[02:13] ---
    Stop, Lieutenant Rekka...
[02:18] ---
    Help me...
[02:44] ---
    Are you okay, Tamaki?
[03:15] ---
    The darkness is illuminated
[03:16] ---
    The days we've grown accustomed
    to walking are weeded out
[03:20] ---
    My dream might be to make a stable living
[03:23] ---
    but I'll moan over the lack of stimulation
[03:25] ---
    The end is illuminated
[03:27] ---
    Where are the streets we're
    accustomed to walking?
[03:30] ---
    Time can sometimes be irksome,
[03:33] ---
    but we're enveloped in warmth
[03:35] ---
    Flames rise to show us the way
[03:40] ---
    reminding us of a gentle melody
[03:47] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[03:52] ---
    I just smile, thinking that's fine with me
[03:58] ---
    If we shine, someday, our light will go out
[04:02] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:08] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:13] ---
    Playthings that make sounds
[04:16] ---
    and magic that chases pain away
[04:19] ---
    are all precious treasures to me
[04:24] ---
    There is no eternity, none at all, they say
[04:28] ---
    We'll keep on walking until the day
[04:34] ---
    the fire of our lives gets doused
[04:49] ---
    My stars!
[04:51] ---
    Kusakabe!
[04:56] ---
    Rekka Hoshimiya, you're
    the culprit, aren't you?
[04:59] ---
    Do not interfere!
[05:02] ---
    Star Fist Jab!
[05:20] ---
    Rekka Hoshimiya! Now that the hero,
[05:23] ---
    Catch-the-Artificial-Infernal-Maker
    Man is here,
[05:27] ---
    there's nowhere for you to retreat!
[05:29] ---
    My stars!
[05:31] ---
    I don't need to retreat!
    I only ever move forward!
[05:40] ---
    Then I'm Keep-You-from-Moving-
    Backwards-or-Forwards Man!
[05:57] ---
    Kusakabe is fighting toe-to-toe
    against Lieutenant Rekka...
[06:03] ---
    I will not allow anyone to
    interfere with our evangelism!
[06:07] ---
    Shut up, you hot-blooded son of a bitch.
[06:11] ---
    Oh, no trouble for me.
    It just means one more dead body.
[06:20] ---
    It's reacting to Shinra Kusakabe's flames.
[06:24] ---
    I get it. It's trying to
    go back to the flames.
[06:29] ---
    All right! This is my lucky day!
[06:34] ---
    So this is where you are--the third person
    the Evangelist is searching for.
[06:41] ---
    Click!
[06:41] ---
    "Click"
[06:42] ---
    The undefiled flame, the Adolla Burst!
[06:47] ---
    Adolla Burst?
[06:51] ---
    What we who serve under
    the Evangelist have been seeking.
[06:55] ---
    That which can only be borne
    by the spawn of the great Sol--
[06:59] ---
    the sacred flame that will lead mankind!
[07:11] ---
    The pure, unadulterated flame.
[07:15] ---
    For a long time, I have been
    lighting pilot lights in children,
[07:18] ---
    in search of someone compatible,
    but imagine, finding someone right here!
[07:23] ---
    In children, you say?
[07:29] ---
    Exactly how many people
    have you turned into Infernals?
[07:32] ---
    It doesn't matter.
[07:34] ---
    They were trivial sacrifices
    so that we could achieve our goal.
[07:41] ---
    Screw you!
[07:44] ---
    You think you can get away with this?!
[07:54] ---
    What are you doing, you sicko?!
[07:56] ---
    S-Sorry!
[07:59] ---
    O-Okay, then, off I go.
[08:01] ---
    Don't walk away with my skirt!
[08:04] ---
    Star Fist Jab!
[08:09] ---
    Let me show you the difference
    in our firepowers!
[08:15] ---
    Tamaki!
[08:21] ---
    My stars!
[08:30] ---
    Sorry! It's not like that! I didn't mean to!
[08:35] ---
    Enough already, just fight!
[08:38] ---
    R-Right.
[08:42] ---
    Please, Kusakabe...
[08:46] ---
    Defeat Lieutenant Rekka.
[08:56] ---
    Leave him to me. That's why I'm here.
[08:59] ---
    Hmph.
[09:11] ---
    Rekka and my firepowers are
    about the same, or mine is a bit lower.
[09:15] ---
    But where I do have him beat
    is with my feet.
[09:19] ---
    My mobility.
[09:22] ---
    This building is an excellent place
    to capitalize on my mobility.
[09:28] ---
    Time to put it to the test.
[09:32] ---
    My stars!
[09:35] ---
    I will burn everything up
    with my hot arms! My stars!
[09:42] ---
    Don't let him beat you!
[09:48] ---
    What awesome firepower.
    My knee is hot just by glancing off him.
[09:54] ---
    I'll shoot you down!
[10:06] ---
    Star Fist...
[10:09] ---
    ...Jab!
[10:11] ---
    I outmatch you in mobility!
[10:15] ---
    You only have a single foothold,
[10:18] ---
    but for me, everything is a foothold!
[10:26] ---
    My stars...
[10:58] ---
    Guys, gather around!
     Make sure to keep behind the pillars!
[11:02] ---
    I'm coming there now!
[11:06] ---
    Tak-kun!
[11:24] ---
    Are you okay, Kusakabe?!
[11:27] ---
    I flew all the way here,
    and then started fighting right off.
[11:31] ---
    I'm a little lightheaded.
    Looks like I overused my pyrokinesis.
[11:35] ---
    You're overheated. You've used up
    too much of your body's oxygen,
[11:40] ---
    the source of your flames.
[11:57] ---
    It's over, Rekka Hoshimiya.
    Give yourself up, nice and easy.
[12:03] ---
    I finally found a compatible child.
[12:07] ---
    For the Evangelist's sake,
    he's not getting away!
[12:17] ---
    For what reason are you
    turning children into Infernals?
[12:20] ---
    Are there any more like you?
[12:23] ---
    And who is this "Evangelist"?
[12:26] ---
    I find compatible children and increase
    the number of us with abilities.
[12:31] ---
    We'll create Infernals,
    and return people back to flames.
[12:35] ---
    All according to the will of the Evangelist.
[12:40] ---
    What is your objective?
[12:45] ---
    Behold the brilliance of the star
    of flames ensconced in the heavens!
[12:49] ---
    We will return to the bosom of the great Sol!
[12:53] ---
    Turn all people into flames, and engulf
    the earth in the great flame of fire!
[12:58] ---
    Incinerate this imperfect earth and
    its humanity in the flames of salvation!
[13:03] ---
    And turn this world
[13:05] ---
    into a second sun!
[13:13] ---
    What... are you talking about?
[13:17] ---
    To make the world a star!
[13:19] ---
    Guys, we're getting out of here, now!
[13:24] ---
    They won't get away!
[13:26] ---
    I'll take them, and make it
    look like they died in the fire!
[13:28] ---
    They will receive the teachings of
    the Evangelist while in their childhood!
[13:35] ---
    In the fire...? While in their childhood...?
[13:41] ---
    Did you guys... take my brother, too?!
[13:44] ---
    Burn, my Star Fists! Burn with fervor!
[13:51] ---
    Stop! You'll be burned by your own flames!
[13:54] ---
    I will burn all of you
    up before I am consumed!
[13:59] ---
    Látom!
[14:07] ---
    What the...?!
[14:08] ---
    Didn't you always say I
    was there at your back?
[14:13] ---
    Karim!
[14:14] ---
    Do not interfere!
[14:16] ---
    Stop. The hotter you get,
    the more I'll cool you off.
[14:21] ---
    I'll just vaporize this ice!
[14:28] ---
    Fire!
[14:41] ---
    I wasn't always at your back so you
    could go and do something like this.
[14:48] ---
    I heard the report,
    and what do I come here and see?
[14:51] ---
    Karim, what in the world?
[14:53] ---
    I put Rekka on lockdown. We'll get
    all there is to know out of him later.
[15:00] ---
    Is the 1st going to be all right?
[15:02] ---
    This is nothing more than my hunch,
[15:04] ---
    but I get the feeling this isn't
    just the 1st's problem.
[15:08] ---
    It's a much more whopping whopper
    of a problem, affecting the whole nation.
[15:14] ---
    What?!
[15:16] ---
    Huh?
[15:21] ---
    Rekka's been...
[15:23] ---
    Lieutenant Rekka...
[15:30] ---
    Direct hit on target.
    Hoshimiya has been eliminated.
[15:35] ---
    There are still Fire Soldiers there.
    Take some of them out.
[15:41] ---
    Acknowledged.
[15:46] ---
    Again?!
[15:47] ---
    A sniper!
[15:48] ---
    Where did it come from?!
[15:50] ---
    I missed.
[15:53] ---
    They won't escape this one.
[15:56] ---
    Karim!
[16:05] ---
    Shinra! Put up a smokescreen!
[16:07] ---
    Right!
[16:10] ---
    Tamaki! Stay out of sight
    there with the children!
[16:13] ---
    Yes, sir!
[16:19] ---
    Huo Yan, I'm sorry.
[16:22] ---
    Karim, you're the 1st's shield.
    We can't afford to lose you here.
[16:28] ---
    Who needs a shield that has to be protected?
[16:31] ---
    I can't afford to let anyone else get hurt.
[16:36] ---
    Shinra! Can you identify the enemy?!
[16:45] ---
    Two targets, on the roof of
    the building to the southwest!
[16:49] ---
    Tamaki!
[16:49] ---
    On Shinra's signal, extend as much of
    your flame as you can toward the target!
[16:54] ---
    It'll give away your position,
    so extend them higgledy-piggledy!
[16:57] ---
    Yes, sir!
[17:01] ---
    I've lost visual on the target.
[17:11] ---
    Karim, what's the point of the ice?
[17:15] ---
    We're showing them
    that we know where they are,
[17:18] ---
    while constructing a barrier
    to block their view of us.
[17:21] ---
    If we behave in a manner
    incomprehensible to them,
[17:23] ---
    it's up to them to interpret the reason,
    and get freaked out.
[17:28] ---
    Snipers do their work
    from a safe place, after all.
[17:36] ---
    It looks like our location has been exposed.
[17:38] ---
    Sniping will be impossible
    with all that smoke and ice.
[17:41] ---
    We've silenced Hoshimiya.
[17:44] ---
    Now is not the time to expose
    ourselves to danger by fighting.
[17:48] ---
    We'll report this to the commander.
    We're withdrawing.
[17:53] ---
    The targets are falling back!
    Should I go after them?
[17:57] ---
    With you overheated, you'll just
    get yourself killed by them.
[18:01] ---
    All we can do is stay here
    hunched down like turtles.
[18:05] ---
    Let them get the wrong idea and be
    freaked out, and they'll run away.
[18:10] ---
    They made a hell of a scene.
    Who are those white-clad folks?
[18:17] ---
    There are people turning others
    into Infernals and killing them,
[18:19] ---
    as well as setting fires, running around.
[18:22] ---
    Among them are children they've
    abducted, who possess abilities.
[18:26] ---
    Including my brother.
[18:28] ---
    "The Evangelist." I now have
    someone I can go after.
[18:34] ---
    Tamaki, is that all of the children?
[18:37] ---
    Yes, sir.
[18:45] ---
    Cover yourself.
[18:46] ---
    Oh, no! I couldn't possibly...
[18:49] ---
    It's okay, just cover yourself.
[18:57] ---
    Thank you very much.
[19:01] ---
    Remember, Tamaki, while he may have
    tricked you, you need to be prepared.
[19:07] ---
    Yes, sir. I brought the children into this.
[19:10] ---
    I will accept any punishment you give.
[19:21] ---
    Thanks for your help with Rekka.
[19:26] ---
    I'm not sure if Rekka was hot-blooded
    and became a son of a bitch,
[19:29] ---
    or if he was just a son of a bitch
    who became hot-blooded.
[19:34] ---
    But for me, Rekka was just Rekka.
[19:38] ---
    I need to find out why he was
    a hot-blooded son of a bitch.
[19:45] ---
    The 8th's objective is to do an internal
    investigation of Fire Soldiers, right?
[19:49] ---
    And you're going after the Evangelist next?
[19:52] ---
    I'm going to track down the Evangelist, too.
    Let me work with you.
[20:00] ---
    Thank you very much.
[20:02] ---
    "To be continued"
[20:06] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[20:09] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[20:12] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[20:16] ---
    are not enough to save you
[20:31] ---
    We've been walking shoulder-to-shoulder
[20:35] ---
    between sights we never reach
[20:38] ---
    and pain that brings no warmth
[20:41] ---
    to make it to a faraway place
[20:45] ---
    Given the hope that you speak of
[20:48] ---
    or the ideals that you dream of
[20:52] ---
    I'll find a way to show you love,
    however cold you may be
[20:57] ---
    You can toil your way through humorless days
[21:01] ---
    and curse the unwavering present,
[21:04] ---
    but words that simply hang in the air
[21:07] ---
    are not enough to save you
[21:10] ---
    You can cry out timidly
[21:13] ---
    but that changes when the nights grow fevered
[21:16] ---
    Even if we let go of each other's hands,
[21:20] ---
    I hope we can still walk together again
[21:23] ---
    I'll refrain from saying goodbye
[21:26] ---
    to ensure that we can meet again somewhere
[21:37] ---
    The 1st was swamped with reports and
    follow-ups after the incident with Rekka,
[21:42] ---
    so our training got canceled.
[21:45] ---
    Rekka is dead,
[21:46] ---
    Arthur ended up getting lost
    running down Rekka,
[21:49] ---
    and a search request had
    to be issued for him.
[21:53] ---
    "Tardiness is forbidden"
[21:53] ---
    I haven't been back at the 8th in so long...
    It was a short appointment,
[21:56] ---
    "Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
    "Tardiness is forbidden"
[21:58] ---
    but it still feels like coming home.
[21:58] ---
    "Spinach is fundamental"
    "Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
    "Tardiness is forbidden"
[22:00] ---
    "Spinach is fundamental"
    "Submit your paperwork by tomorrow!"
[22:01] ---
    The captain's workouts...
[22:03] ---
    "Head Spa"
[22:04] ---
    The lieutenant's weird hats...
[22:07] ---
    The basically cool and beautiful Maki-san...
[22:11] ---
    I'm leaving some tea for you here.
[22:14] ---
    Nice work on your training assignment.
[22:17] ---
    Thank you very much.
[22:19] ---
    The sister's angelic smile...
[22:25] ---
    I only joined the 8th a little while ago,
[22:29] ---
    but somehow or other, it's become
    a place where I feel settled in.
[22:36] ---
    Wh-What are you doing here, cat lady?
[22:40] ---
    What!
[22:41] ---
    Tamaki has been put on suspension
    at the 1st for the time being,
[22:45] ---
    for her part in the Hoshimiya incident.
[22:48] ---
    While she's on suspension,
    the 8th is taking her.
[22:50] ---
    With the two of you together,
[22:52] ---
    filing a report on this incident
    will be a lot easier.
[22:55] ---
    I-I see.
[23:01] ---
    Th-That being the case, Tamaki,
    could I get your phone number?
[23:06] ---
    Wh-Why should I have to
    give you my phone number?!
[23:13] ---
    W-Well, if you insist,
    I suppose I could tell you.
[23:17] ---
    Really? Man, Juggernaut has
    really been begging me.
[23:23] ---
    No way! I'm not telling!
[23:29] ---
    There's an intruder in my haven.
    And after Arthur cleared out, too.
[23:47] ---
    Hmph.
[23:48] ---
    
[23:50] ---
