[01:39] ---
    It's the fairyland at the
    bottom of the universe.
[01:44] ---
    Dreams in a wasteland.
[01:46] ---
    A town overrun with violence.
[01:48] ---
    The idiot's utopia.
[01:51] ---
    The planet people call "Endless Illusion."
[01:56] ---
    A man named Van,
[01:58] ---
    who operates the strongest Armor.
[02:01] ---
    A girl named Wendy,
[02:03] ---
    who's searching for her abducted brother.
[02:06] ---
    Two travelers guided by
    the mark of the Claw.
[02:09] ---
    Who will they encounter
    at the bottom of the wound?
[02:11] ---
    A noble enemy, or a filthy ally?
[02:16] ---
    "Twin's Guards"
[02:19] ---
    Could we have lost our way?
[02:23] ---
    No one could be stupid enough to
    get lost on a straight path like this.
[02:25] ---
    That's not what I mean.
[02:27] ---
    I'm wondering whether it was a
    mistake to come into this valley!
[02:31] ---
    If we keep moving forward,
    we'll come out somewhere.
[02:33] ---
    If you've got a problem
    with that, go back yourself.
[02:35] ---
    Good grief! You're sounding like a child.
[02:43] ---
    A town?
[02:44] ---
    Looks that way.
[02:50] ---
    What is this place?
[02:52] ---
    I've never seen anything like it.
[02:58] ---
    Is this a town?
[03:00] ---
    I don't know.
[03:02] ---
    I wonder if anyone's here.
[03:04] ---
    Don't know.
[03:08] ---
    What's that?
[03:15] ---
    Even the hounds killed
    each other at the same time.
[03:18] ---
    How annoying!
[03:21] ---
    They're the same person?
[03:23] ---
    You should be thankful, shouldn't you?
[03:25] ---
    If it wasn't for that,
    your head would have been
[03:27] ---
    rolling around on the
    ground a long time ago.
[03:28] ---
    Thankful for what?
[03:29] ---
    You're the one who's always
    groveling across the floor.
[03:37] ---
    Who are you?
[03:38] ---
    The bodyguard that woman told us about?
[03:40] ---
    That woman?
[03:41] ---
    Don't look at me.
[03:47] ---
    All right everyone. Stop right there.
[03:49] ---
    Oh! It must be...
[03:53] ---
    Ms. Carul!
[03:54] ---
    Carmen 99.
[03:56] ---
    Ms. Carmen.
[04:00] ---
    I was looking all over for you.
[04:01] ---
    I never imagined you'd be
    getting here before me.
[04:05] ---
    So then I take it he's the bodyguard.
[04:09] ---
    Yes. I'll bring the contract later.
[04:11] ---
    What about the other one?
[04:12] ---
    Don't worry. I've already found someone.
[04:15] ---
    So both of you, please be patient.
[04:19] ---
    And please see to it that I'm paid.
[04:24] ---
    It sure is a strange town.
[04:25] ---
    Yes, it is.
[04:26] ---
    But what's even more surprising is the fact
[04:29] ---
    you haven't run away from Van yet.
[04:31] ---
    I'm the one who wants to run away.
[04:35] ---
    Carmen, why does everyone in this town
[04:37] ---
    look the same as someone else?
[04:40] ---
    Oh, that? They say they're all twins.
[04:42] ---
    All of them?
[04:43] ---
    Although there aren't many of them left.
[04:45] ---
    They divided themselves between left and right,
    and have been fighting for a long time now.
[04:49] ---
    Like the two dogs earlier?
[04:51] ---
    Right. It always ends up with
    killing each other at the same time.
[04:53] ---
    They say twins have a special bond,
    which makes it all the more ironic.
[04:57] ---
    Why would they do that
    when they're sisters?
[05:01] ---
    According to the father's will,
[05:03] ---
    the one who wins out can have
    the inheritance all to herself.
[05:06] ---
    It's located in a building in back.
[05:08] ---
    Did you see the pendants
    the two of them had on?
[05:10] ---
    When combined together it's said
    they become the key to the entrance.
[05:14] ---
    What's the inheritance?
[05:15] ---
    From what I understand,
    even they don't know.
[05:17] ---
    He sure was an irresponsible
    father, wasn't he?
[05:19] ---
    In that case, shouldn't they make peace
[05:21] ---
    and divide it up amongst everyone?
[05:24] ---
    Given the people who've been lost,
    and the mutual hatred,
[05:27] ---
    that way of solving
    things no longer exists.
[05:31] ---
    That's terrible.
[05:32] ---
    You're after the inheritance?
[05:35] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[05:36] ---
    In exchange for finding
    bodyguards for both of them...
[05:40] ---
    I'll be receiving the loser's
    fortune from the winner.
[05:43] ---
    So, Van, it's a bit last second
[05:45] ---
    but will you be a bodyguard
    and duel on behalf of one of them?
[05:48] ---
    What?
[05:49] ---
    The pay's not too bad either.
[05:53] ---
    Earl Driver. Nice to meet you.
[05:56] ---
    I'd like all the condiments you got.
[05:59] ---
    -Hey.
    -Certainly.
[06:00] ---
    Tell us whatever you want.
    You don't have to hold back.
[06:04] ---
    There's one thing I'd like to ask.
[06:06] ---
    You really think you can settle this thing
[06:08] ---
    by having other people
    fight it out for you?
[06:11] ---
    We can't lose any more of our people.
[06:14] ---
    And the other side is
    willing to accept the outcome?
[06:17] ---
    We'll make them.
[06:18] ---
    And if I lose, you can accept it?
[06:22] ---
    Van!
[06:23] ---
    I don't know.
[06:24] ---
    But you don't want to die, do you?
[06:26] ---
    No. I fully expect to be
    paid for my services.
[06:29] ---
    You want information, don't you?
[06:31] ---
    About the Claw.
[06:35] ---
    He used to come see my Papa
    once in a while, a long time ago.
[06:39] ---
    They were always having
    long, passionate discussions.
[06:43] ---
    He was a kind person.
[06:45] ---
    I liked him second only to Papa.
[06:47] ---
    You have information?
[06:49] ---
    We probably have something
    at the family home.
[06:50] ---
    So when do I do my thing?
[06:52] ---
    Not until Elle decides on her bodyguard.
[06:55] ---
    We want you to protect Earl until then.
[06:58] ---
    Carmen will fill you in on the details.
[07:00] ---
    I see.
[07:01] ---
    Which side is she on?
[07:04] ---
    She's on her own side.
[07:07] ---
    You shouldn't have to wait long.
[07:09] ---
    She said it would be 2
    or 3 days at the most.
[07:12] ---
    In the meantime, we've
    prepared a room for you here.
[07:17] ---
    Who are you?
[07:32] ---
    What are you doing?
[07:33] ---
    I'm the bodyguard.
[07:36] ---
    Viest!
[07:42] ---
    Hey!
[07:42] ---
    You're not supposed to take
    things into your own hands!
[07:56] ---
    Someone! Prepare the emergency room!
[07:58] ---
    Viest has been shot!
[08:00] ---
    Viest? All right.
[08:02] ---
    I'll send some people over there too.
[08:04] ---
    Hey! Who's that guy?
[08:07] ---
    He's the bodyguard for the other side.
[08:09] ---
    He took off right after
    I told him about it.
[08:12] ---
    I just met him too, but
    he's a drifter like you...
[08:17] ---
    and probably has
    about the same level of ability.
[08:20] ---
    His name is Ray.
[08:21] ---
    Ray Lundgren. But...
[08:25] ---
    I can't agree to this.
    It's just more of the same thing.
[08:29] ---
    Really?
[08:30] ---
    One of theirs was injured but you're not.
[08:33] ---
    Well, yes.
[08:34] ---
    This town has finally changed.
[08:37] ---
    I've stared at my own face long enough.
[08:43] ---
    Now, now. Why can't you two get along?
[08:48] ---
    Be nice to each other. Be nice you two.
[08:53] ---
    I'm sorry Papa.
[08:55] ---
    But I can't have you all
    to myself if I do that.
[08:59] ---
    Why? Why am I the only
    one who can't leave here?
[09:03] ---
    It's to keep you from
    getting mixed up in this.
[09:05] ---
    -Carmen.
    -Yeah.
[09:07] ---
    You're in charge of looking after her.
[09:09] ---
    Stay here until you come watch
    over the proceedings tomorrow.
[09:11] ---
    Guess I don't have much choice.
[09:16] ---
    If our bodyguard tries to get out
    of fighting his opponent, then...
[09:21] ---
    Yes. I know what to do.
[09:23] ---
    Damn. I wasn't counting on this.
[09:26] ---
    I didn't think Ray would be such a lunatic.
[09:29] ---
    Sorry for getting you caught up in this.
[09:31] ---
    It doesn't make sense.
[09:33] ---
    Why are they all killing each other?
[09:42] ---
    Good evening, everyone!
[09:44] ---
    Is Ray here?
[09:53] ---
    Stop!
[09:53] ---
    Please stop!
[09:56] ---
    Hey, listen.
[09:59] ---
    I was given a job. I was
    told to protect someone.
[10:03] ---
    And so I've come to kill you...
[10:08] ---
    before you kill the person who hired me.
[10:21] ---
    Somebody! We have an intruder!
[10:23] ---
    Come quick! Somebody!
[10:31] ---
    I want to go to another town soon.
[10:37] ---
    Carmen.
[10:38] ---
    What is it?
[10:43] ---
    Who's Elena?
[10:46] ---
    Who told you about Elena?
[10:48] ---
    Van did. He was talking in his sleep.
[10:52] ---
    Is she a woman?
[10:54] ---
    Is there some connection
    between her and the Claw?
[11:12] ---
    Don't move.
[11:14] ---
    This is where we settle it.
[11:16] ---
    I don't know how much they're paying you,
[11:18] ---
    but you got a raw deal.
[11:20] ---
    Money only dulls the spirit.
[11:23] ---
    In my world there's no need
    for that sort of thing.
[11:26] ---
    There's only one thing I want.
[11:29] ---
    Death.
[11:31] ---
    The Claw's death.
[11:34] ---
    He killed my wife.
[11:37] ---
    And so I'm going to find and kill him.
[11:41] ---
    You're...
[11:42] ---
    Elena was the woman Van was going to marry.
[11:46] ---
    What? Was she kidnapped too?
[11:49] ---
    No. On her wedding day...
[11:53] ---
    Elena was killed...
[11:56] ---
    by the Claw.
[11:59] ---
    I see. You too.
[12:02] ---
    But I'm the one who's going to kill him.
[12:05] ---
    You're not up for the task.
[12:08] ---
    Could you stand back and watch her die?
[12:12] ---
    Why? Why did you have
    those two meet each other?
[12:16] ---
    Because that's my job.
[12:19] ---
    Their journey is a journey of revenge.
[12:21] ---
    It's not a pretty thing.
    They're risking their lives.
[12:25] ---
    They need to be prepared
    for that sort of thing.
[12:28] ---
    I use them and they use me.
[12:32] ---
    It's not easy getting your
    hands on information.
[12:36] ---
    But...
[12:36] ---
    If you don't like what you see
    then go back home, pipsqueak.
[12:41] ---
    'Cause there's no telling when
    it's gonna be his turn to die...
[12:42] ---
    I'm fully prepared!
[12:44] ---
    I'm on my own journey.
[12:47] ---
    I've decided to help my brother.
[12:49] ---
    And don't compare Van with that man!
[12:52] ---
    -Van is...
    -Yeah, yeah.
[12:54] ---
    Just as I thought, you can't
    do anything, can you?
[12:58] ---
    In that case, how about this...
[13:00] ---
    I'll betray them and
    come over to your side.
[13:03] ---
    You're gonna betray the
    person who hired you?
[13:05] ---
    After all, we have the same objective.
[13:07] ---
    So we should try and maximize
    our chances for success.
[13:12] ---
    What do you think? Are you game?
[13:17] ---
    No. I'd be dishonoring Elena
[13:20] ---
    if I joined up with someone
    who's strayed from the path like you.
[13:23] ---
    You think you can live according to
    your code while seeking vengeance?
[13:28] ---
    In that case, we'll settle things tomorrow.
[13:30] ---
    Yeah.
[13:32] ---
    You...
[13:34] ---
    Your vengeance is...
[13:36] ---
    very kind.
[13:44] ---
    Elle! Papa's inheritance is mine.
[13:48] ---
    Starting today, that face and
    voice of yours will be mine alone.
[13:52] ---
    Acting as the witness, I
    now confirm the following.
[13:55] ---
    Both teams will abide by
    the outcome of the fight,
[13:57] ---
    with the losing side handing over
    the key and submitting unconditionally
[14:00] ---
    to the winner's demands. OK?
[14:04] ---
    Well then, you two move over to the
    dueling area located by the entrance.
[14:13] ---
    Earl!
[14:15] ---
    You!
[14:23] ---
    Stop!
[14:26] ---
    The key is complete!
[14:29] ---
    Elle!
[14:37] ---
    Ost! Watch out!
[14:54] ---
    I wonder what's inside.
[14:59] ---
    Please take me...
[15:03] ---
    to where my father is.
[15:14] ---
    An Armor?
[15:16] ---
    You must be joking.
[15:18] ---
    There must be something
    I can take as a reward.
[15:22] ---
    This is Papa's inheritance?
[15:24] ---
    Who cares about your stupid inheritance?
[15:26] ---
    Where's the clue that
    will lead me to the Claw?
[15:28] ---
    Where is it?
[15:30] ---
    And don't tell me you don't
    have anything either.
[15:32] ---
    Damn you.
[15:37] ---
    It's too late now, Earl.
[15:39] ---
    Papa's inheritance is mine.
[15:41] ---
    Now be a good sport and give up...
[15:42] ---
    Comrade!
[15:46] ---
    Papa.
[15:48] ---
    We have, for the most
    part, seen the completion
[15:51] ---
    of the Armor that you asked for, Twin Lock.
[15:54] ---
    We had hoped to use the ability clones have
[15:56] ---
    to empathize with each other to
    boost its functionality. However...
[15:59] ---
    What does he mean, "clone"?
[16:01] ---
    I don't know.
[16:02] ---
    I am terribly sorry.
[16:04] ---
    The specialized pilot training
    was a complete and total failure.
[16:08] ---
    And due to the outbreak of a
    pathogen during the research process
[16:12] ---
    we will most likely perish
    before you come here.
[16:15] ---
    I hope that at least you got
    the data for the Carossa Project.
[16:21] ---
    The Armor must be designed for two people.
[16:25] ---
    The experimental bodies
    in the town in the valley
[16:28] ---
    are all samples for us to collect data from.
[16:31] ---
    We manipulated the emotions
    for our objective...
[16:34] ---
    as a result of our
    technical insufficiency.
[16:38] ---
    If they're rude to you,
    please feel free to dispose of them.
[16:44] ---
    I cannot tell you enough how sorry I am.
[16:47] ---
    But even now, our love for you is infinite.
[16:52] ---
    Even if the promise is no longer valid,
    and you've given up on us...
[16:57] ---
    For your sake, I...
[17:03] ---
    You came all this way for nothing.
[17:08] ---
    Papa...
[17:12] ---
    Hey!
[17:13] ---
    That was a lie just now, wasn't it?
[17:15] ---
    The stuff Papa said about us being samples,
    and disposing of us.
[17:19] ---
    Let go.
[17:21] ---
    Elle!
[17:22] ---
    You bastard!
[17:41] ---
    You're no longer a person.
[17:43] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[17:45] ---
    Being human only gets in the way,
    when you're out for revenge.
[17:50] ---
    I can't stand you.
[17:53] ---
    The feeling's mutual.
[17:55] ---
    I hate you too. But...
[17:59] ---
    Now, now. Why can't you two get along.
[18:03] ---
    We should have listened to what he said.
[18:06] ---
    If we'd done that, then Papa...
[18:08] ---
    No, there's still time.
[18:13] ---
    Together, the two of us.
[18:15] ---
    Let's meet Papa's expectations.
[18:23] ---
    It's the least they could do.
[18:25] ---
    Detect the signal. Start twin maneuver.
[18:29] ---
    Turbo... Separate the first control.
[18:33] ---
    Adjust the...
[18:36] ---
    Papa!
[18:40] ---
    They're in the Armor?
[18:45] ---
    It's Papa, Elle! We're inside of Papa!
[18:49] ---
    I know. I can feel it.
[18:51] ---
    Papa is ours!
[18:53] ---
    We're not handing him over to anyone!
[18:55] ---
    No!
[18:56] ---
    This place is ours alone!
[19:04] ---
    I don't have any choice.
[19:23] ---
    An Armor?
[19:24] ---
    Wake up, Dann.
[19:27] ---
    Get out of that thing!
[19:29] ---
    We're...
[19:31] ---
    together with Papa!
[19:37] ---
    Come quick! We're getting out of here!
[19:39] ---
    But what about Van?
[19:41] ---
    He'll be fine.
[19:42] ---
    You want to continue
    your journey, don't you?
[19:48] ---
    Get out of that thing!
    Why are you fighting?
[19:50] ---
    It's what Papa wants!
[19:52] ---
    Now we're with Papa.
[19:54] ---
    The three of us are all
    living happily together.
[19:56] ---
    That's why.
[19:57] ---
    You're in the way too!
[20:01] ---
    This place is a graveyard.
[20:03] ---
    We're together with Papa.
[20:04] ---
    Always together!
[20:06] ---
    Wherever together!
[20:09] ---
    I see. In that case, here's what I'll do.
[20:22] ---
    Sanctions Charge, Volcain.
[20:29] ---
    He's got Armor, too!
[20:37] ---
    Papa!
[20:41] ---
    Papa, don't abandon us!
[20:44] ---
    We can even dance well.
[20:48] ---
    Delete.
[20:50] ---
    Stop it!
[20:52] ---
    Ray, you're going too far!
[20:53] ---
    Get off your high horse.
    There's no point in being kind!
[21:00] ---
    Papa, our dance.
[21:08] ---
    There's something I need to do.
[21:10] ---
    And in order to do it...
[21:13] ---
    I will never hesitate!
[21:18] ---
    I will remove anything which
    stands in the way of my purpose.
[21:23] ---
    No matter what it is.
[21:27] ---
    Elle.
[21:28] ---
    Earl.
[21:31] ---
    The two of us.
[21:33] ---
    Why?
[21:42] ---
    Ray!
[21:46] ---
    Ray! Ray!
[22:04] ---
    Van!
[22:05] ---
    What happened to everyone?
[22:08] ---
    Well, I'll see you around
    if you're still alive.
[22:13] ---
    That job left a bad taste in my mouth.
[22:21] ---
    It can't be.
[23:56] ---
    "Light My Fire"
[23:57] ---
    You really never know what's going
    to happen when you're on a journey.
[24:01] ---
    The place was refreshing,
    a peaceful port town.
[24:05] ---
    But even there, Van's life was in danger.
[24:09] ---
    Blue sky, white clouds, Van running around.
[24:13] ---
    Before we knew it, the
    town was in an uproar.
[24:14] ---
    A complete waste of a tropical paradise.
[24:17] ---
    And it was the place where
    our journey took a major turn.
