**[00:01] ---**
If only... if only I hadn't gone looking for
that ghost, this never would've happened!
**[00:08] ---**
Shut up!
**[00:10] ---**
Don't spit on Sidune's resolve.
**[00:13] ---**
This time it isn't the usual free-for-all.
Another victory condition has been given.
**[00:19] ---**
There is a gate set up at this point.
**[00:22] ---**
The side that reaches it first
**[00:24] ---**
will receive five times as many Energy Cubes
as we've been given previously.
**[00:28] ---**
That is what the Timekeepers have told us.
**[00:31] ---**
As for the forward members...
**[00:34] ---**
Please let me do it!
**[00:36] ---**
I want to make up for Sidune's death.
**[00:39] ---**
I'll fight for that cause!
**[00:41] ---**
Then, never look back.
**[00:45] ---**
I've got your back!
**[00:47] ---**
It's not like her...
**[00:49] ---**
She missed the vitals.
**[01:06] ---**
There it is!
**[02:11] ---**
*Stop.*
**[02:13] ---**
*Continuing combat any further
will be a violation of the rules.*
**[02:20] ---**
*This game is already over.*
**[02:36] ---**
Come.
**[02:38] ---**
I'll give you your reward
for winning the game.
**[02:43] ---**
It can't be....
**[02:46] ---**
Sidune?
***SIGN*** Revelation: Two Histories
**[04:25] ---**
Are you a Timekeeper?
**[04:28] ---**
Yes, that's correct.
**[04:33] ---**
But the way you look...
**[04:37] ---**
I've borrowed this image from your conscious
mind to enable us to understand one another.
**[04:42] ---**
It appears you spent the entire battle
thinking about this individual.
**[04:48] ---**
Congratulations.
This is your reward for reaching the goal.
**[04:54] ---**
It was originally intended for one person,
but both of you arrived simultaneously.
**[04:59] ---**
Because we reached the goal at the same time,
you're giving them to both of us.
**[05:02] ---**
How generous of you.
**[05:07] ---**
I didn't come here for something like this.
**[05:11] ---**
What in the world are you Timekeepers?
**[05:15] ---**
The fact that you made the effort to take that form
means you intend to tell us, right?
**[05:20] ---**
Very well. I believe you're aware of this,
but we Timekeepers are from the future.
**[05:27] ---**
We've come to save you.
**[05:33] ---**
Looks like the kid made it to the goal.
**[05:36] ---**
So do we just retreat now?
**[05:39] ---**
It'd be nice if the other side
lets us go quietly, master.
**[05:46] ---**
Of course, that won't happen.
**[05:49] ---**
Looks like there's still a job left for us.
Though, that's to be expected.
**[05:55] ---**
Since defeating the other team gives us
additional energy cubes besides those from the race,
**[06:01] ---**
there's no reason to hold back.
**[06:03] ---**
Let's retreat. The rest is up to Tohru.
**[06:06] ---**
All right.
**[06:13] ---**
*Pull this off, Tohru.*
**[06:22] ---**
I hope you're not thinking
you can get away so easily!
**[06:24] ---**
And you’re gonna pay for this!
**[06:35] ---**
Kyoka...
**[06:37] ---**
Staying here will gradually wear us down.
What should we do?
**[06:41] ---**
We have no choice.
**[06:42] ---**
I'll rush in and drive them out,
so cover me.
**[06:45] ---**
H-Hold on! There's no way I can let
someone younger than me do that!
**[06:50] ---**
If anyone's going, it'll be me.
**[06:52] ---**
But...
**[06:58] ---**
Oh, you caught me!
**[07:00] ---**
I guess I'll just have to fight
you with everything I have!
**[07:13] ---**
I've already predicted your movements!
**[07:20] ---**
Let us bring an end to the battle!
**[07:25] ---**
Someone from the future...
So it's just like what Remy told me.
**[07:30] ---**
From the future?
**[07:31] ---**
You came to save us?
**[07:34] ---**
Then why are you making us fight like this?
**[07:37] ---**
Because that's the best way
to minimize the damage.
**[07:41] ---**
Minimize the damage?
**[07:44] ---**
Ten years from their current times, both of your worlds
will successfully develop time-warp technology.
**[07:49] ---**
Time-warp technology?
You mean the time machine?
**[07:54] ---**
No.
**[07:56] ---**
Compared to what's to be created 10 years
from your current time,
**[08:01] ---**
your "time machine" is merely a toy.
**[08:03] ---**
A toy?
**[08:04] ---**
The time-warp technology that's to be created
would even allow travel between your two worlds.
**[08:12] ---**
But what does that time-warp tech
from 10 years in the future
**[08:15] ---**
have to do with making us fight?
**[08:18] ---**
With the completion of time-warp technology,
the gap between your worlds is bridged.
**[08:24] ---**
This leads to war.
**[08:27] ---**
And during that war, both of
your worlds destroy each other.
**[08:40] ---**
Shields activated.
**[08:42] ---**
Shields activated.
**[08:44] ---**
Shields activated.
**[08:51] ---**
You... where'd you get that gear?
**[08:55] ---**
It's the power I gained to protect Tohru.
**[08:58] ---**
You don't have it?
**[09:00] ---**
Damn you!
**[09:02] ---**
I won't let you!
**[09:03] ---**
Aaron!
**[09:05] ---**
Looks like they outnumber us now...
**[09:08] ---**
If we get greedy, they might wipe us all out.
**[09:11] ---**
You're right. Let's split up and retreat.
**[09:14] ---**
Understood. Best of luck to you.
**[09:18] ---**
Damn you!
**[09:19] ---**
What? Hold on, Remy!
**[09:21] ---**
Kyoka! Leave that to me.
**[09:23] ---**
I'm more used to this than you are.
**[09:25] ---**
But—
**[09:25] ---**
You go ahead and retreat.
**[09:30] ---**
Take care of Remy for me, okay?
**[09:34] ---**
*What's the situation?*
**[09:36] ---**
They're retreating,
but continuing combat nonetheless.
**[09:40] ---**
*Perhaps it's a warrior's instinct to fight.*
**[09:43] ---**
*It would be wonderful if we could
decrease their number here, but...*
**[09:48] ---**
However, combat in a situation
different than normal is dangerous.
**[09:53] ---**
*You say that,*
**[09:54] ---**
*but if there's an enemy in front of them,
they've no choice but to fight.*
**[09:58] ---**
*Anyone who isn't your ally is
your enemy. That's how it is.*
**[10:03] ---**
And if shot at, people will shoot back.
**[10:06] ---**
Warriors can't stop the unending cycle
of warfare. It's a barbaric thing.
**[10:11] ---**
*Barbaric?*
**[10:14] ---**
Yes. It's barbarism.
**[10:16] ---**
Power must be controlled by wisdom,
but it's a difficult task.
**[10:25] ---**
Why would there be war just
because we'd be able to go
**[10:29] ---**
back and forth between our worlds?
**[10:31] ---**
It's happened many times throughout history.
**[10:34] ---**
Resources, territory, wealth...
**[10:37] ---**
Humans fight each other in order to
gain something they don't have.
**[10:55] ---**
It can't be that simple...
**[10:57] ---**
It is simple.
**[11:00] ---**
How can you be concerned with the lives of others
when you're about to starve to death?
**[11:05] ---**
But—
**[11:05] ---**
Exactly.
**[11:09] ---**
Your worlds will fight one another, kill each other,
and, in the end, both will be destroyed.
**[11:32] ---**
Mr. President!
**[11:47] ---**
And that future destruction
has an effect on your current selves.
**[11:53] ---**
Effect?
**[11:54] ---**
What you call Degradation in your world,
the phenomenon that turns people to sand...
**[11:59] ---**
is occuring because your
worlds don't have a future.
**[12:11] ---**
We have no future?
**[12:13] ---**
The war between the two worlds
**[12:15] ---**
has caused the spacetime continuum
itself to become unstable.
**[12:18] ---**
The degradation is a result of that.
**[12:45] ---**
Just like you pictured in your conscious mind,
everything will turn to sand and disappear.
**[12:50] ---**
People, the world, everything.
**[12:52] ---**
So what? Our worlds have no future, and that
affects us in the past and turns us into sand?
**[13:01] ---**
Whether you believe it or not, it's true.
**[13:04] ---**
If the situation is left unaltered,
everything will be destroyed.
**[13:11] ---**
However, there is still a way.
**[13:17] ---**
There's a way?
**[13:18] ---**
There's a way to not be destroyed?
**[13:20] ---**
What do we need to do? Tell us!
**[13:25] ---**
It's not difficult.
**[13:27] ---**
If, at this rate, both worlds
are going to be destroyed,
**[13:30] ---**
the way to fix that is to
destroy one of them first.
**[13:35] ---**
You underestimate us!
**[13:38] ---**
This is to avenge Kyohma!
**[13:40] ---**
You're the one that's underestimating us!
**[13:49] ---**
*"This is to avenge Kyohma," huh?*
**[13:51] ---**
*So you must've been buddies
with me on the other side.*
**[13:54] ---**
But you know, you're the ones
that killed Sidune.
**[13:58] ---**
I'll settle the score once and for all!
**[14:00] ---**
Big Brother!
**[14:07] ---**
Are you all right?
We're gonna make a run for it.
**[14:09] ---**
Th-Thank you so much!
**[14:13] ---**
I know it's the same person, but I can't
believe I'd mistake her voice for Kyoka's...
**[14:26] ---**
It's useless.
**[14:33] ---**
She's evolved her weapon with
Energy Cubes quite a bit!
**[14:47] ---**
I won't let you get away!
**[14:59] ---**
Unfortunately for you,
**[15:01] ---**
I'm equipped with three sensors for sonar waves,
electromagnetic pulses, and gravitational pulses.
**[15:06] ---**
Trying to blind me
with something like this is pointless.
**[15:08] ---**
Why don't you give up right about now?
**[15:11] ---**
No way!
**[15:12] ---**
I see.
**[15:14] ---**
All right!
**[15:19] ---**
Impossible... he can fool the
gravitational pulse sensor?
**[15:22] ---**
You fell for it!
**[15:25] ---**
Another dummy!
**[15:37] ---**
An irregularity like this...
**[15:53] ---**
How irritating.
She just kept getting in my way.
**[15:57] ---**
It was the first time I had to
deal with a weapon that was so evolved.
**[16:02] ---**
It had tremendous firepower.
**[16:06] ---**
At this rate, my psychic powers
won't be able to keep up with the enemy's evolution.
**[16:14] ---**
Dammit...
**[16:16] ---**
One of us has to destroy the other first?
**[16:18] ---**
It makes more sense for one world
to be destroyed than two, yes?
**[16:24] ---**
I see. And if so, who gets to decide
which world is doomed?
**[16:29] ---**
Is that what you Timekeepers do?
**[16:32] ---**
Indeed. We believe you
should decide. Don't you?
**[16:39] ---**
What do you mean?
**[16:40] ---**
The game we're holding right now.
**[16:43] ---**
That's what these duels in 2015, between
those capable of spacetime transfer, are for.
**[16:49] ---**
Why do you make us fight in the past?
What is the significance of the year 2015?
**[16:54] ---**
Because it's a temporal axis
that's equidistant from both of your worlds.
**[17:00] ---**
Equidistant...
**[17:02] ---**
Yes. The year 2015 is the fairest
battleground for both sides.
**[17:08] ---**
We can't give either side an advantage.
**[17:11] ---**
And only people like us are
capable of coming here?
**[17:16] ---**
What happens to the losers?
**[17:19] ---**
The Timekeepers will "take care" of us?
**[17:23] ---**
No, all we do is give the
winners Energy Cubes.
**[17:28] ---**
As long as they have that power, the
winner's universe will continue to exist naturally.
**[17:33] ---**
We must keep our involvement
to an absolute minimum.
**[17:37] ---**
Otherwise, we couldn't
call this a fair game, could we?
**[17:41] ---**
Game...
**[17:43] ---**
Life is awarded to the winner,
and the world of the loser will be destroyed.
**[17:47] ---**
That will be the end of this game.
**[17:56] ---**
*Hurry up and get inside!
We've already started preparing for the transfer!*
**[18:04] ---**
You go in first!
**[18:06] ---**
What about the others?
**[18:07] ---**
Everyone alive has already gone back.
We're the only ones left. Let's go.
**[18:18] ---**
All clear on our side, master!
**[18:20] ---**
Yeah, I'll be right over!
**[18:25] ---**
Master!
**[18:27] ---**
Stay back!
**[19:02] ---**
W-Wait a minute!
**[19:05] ---**
I know! I know!
**[19:11] ---**
*Commencing transfer.*
**[19:28] ---**
A game, huh?
**[19:30] ---**
A game, with the survival
of our worlds on the line.
**[19:34] ---**
The winner takes all, and the loser dies.
**[19:38] ---**
That's absurd! There must be some
way for us to work it out!
**[19:42] ---**
The future hasn't been determined yet.
**[19:44] ---**
The future hasn't been determined yet.
**[19:46] ---**
Maybe that's why they're so fuzzy.
**[19:53] ---**
The future hasn't been determined yet.
**[19:56] ---**
Your future is not necessarily our future!
**[20:01] ---**
And those words mean?
**[20:03] ---**
We'll decide our future.
**[20:06] ---**
The future of war you're talking
about, where we pillage each other...
**[20:08] ---**
There must be a way to
prevent it from happening!
**[20:13] ---**
You're too naive.
**[20:14] ---**
Humans can only live by stealing
what they don't have from others.
**[20:17] ---**
If there's no future,
we just take the future from others.
**[20:20] ---**
Why are you so stubborn? You're me!
**[20:24] ---**
And you're me.
Why don't you understand?
**[20:36] ---**
What's this?
**[20:37] ---**
What's going on?
**[20:40] ---**
I believe I said that
the game has concluded.
**[20:44] ---**
But this seems like a good opportunity.
**[20:46] ---**
Let us move the hands of time forward.
**[21:08] ---**
W-Wait!
**[23:25] ---**
Work has been really hard lately.
**[23:27] ---**
At times like that, you go to the
countryside to refresh yourself!
**[23:29] ---**
City kids have the dumbest ideas.
There's nothing in the countryside.
**[23:32] ---**
The amusement is that there's nothing there!
You can pretend it's a world where civilization's collapsed!
