[00:29] THERON
    No doubt about it. This is it!
[00:44] THERON
    I found the holy sword!
[00:53] URZA
    Salamander!
[01:02] LIESE/ID
    She dodged?!
[01:09] LIESE
    Didn't she say we couldn't
    so much as lay a finger on her?
[01:14] URZA
    Yup. Looks like our odds aren't
    as hopeless as she thinks.
[01:21] YULIGA
    You'll pay for this...
[03:04] KYLE
    What a performance.
[03:07] GARNIAS
    How dare you...
[03:10] GARNIAS
    How dare you break my horn?!
[03:13] KYLE
    Whoa there, not so fast.
[03:15] KYLE
    Come any closer, and I'll smash it.
[03:18] GARNIAS
    Get your foot off that, human scum!
[03:22] KYLE
    I know demons' horns are their pride,
[03:27] KYLE
    to the point that the hornless
     are considered subdemon.
[03:32] THERON
    Boy, the governor found an
    elaborate way to hide this baby.
[03:38] KYLE
    Is that the holy sword?
[03:39] THERON
    It's impeccably weighted and balanced.
[03:42] THERON
    It fits perfectly in my hand.
[03:46] YULIGA
    You bastard! Surrender the sword!
[03:49] THERON
    Yeah, I'm not handing this over
    just because you said so.
[03:53] THERON
    I haven't even tested it out yet.
[03:56] GARNIAS
    You filth...
[04:00] KYLE
    I have a suggestion.
[04:03] KYLE
    Why don't we call a temporary truce?
[04:06] YULIGA
    What?
[04:07] GARNIAS
    What are you proposing?
[04:09] KYLE
    We have sick and injured over here.
[04:13] KYLE
    I don't want to press this fight.
[04:16] KYLE
    Three days from now,
    we'll meet again for a duel.
[04:21] GARNIAS
    A duel, you say?
[04:23] KYLE
    Yeah.
[04:24] KYLE
    We'll return here to fight, and if you win,
    we'll give you the sword and your horn.
[04:28] THERON
    Hey, that's not up to—
[04:29] KYLE
    If we win, you'll tell us about the demons,
[04:34] KYLE
    including who else of your kind
    has infiltrated human society.
[04:38] KYLE
    You'll give us all
    the demon intelligence you have.
[04:45] KYLE
    Don't worry. I'll face you solo.
[04:50] KYLE
    Surely you wouldn't refuse a fair duel
    against a human you see as inferior.
[04:58] GARNIAS
    So be it.
[05:04] GARNIAS
    Return here in three days' time!
[05:42] GAZUS
    Hey, I'm ba—
[05:49] GAZUS
    Sorry for making you worry.
[06:04] MIRANDA
    Gazus, I'm so glad!
[06:06] GAZUS
    Hey!
[06:06] KYLE/ID
    So they really are lovers.
[06:06] MIRANDA
    If anything happened to you, I...
[06:08] GAZUS
    Ya goober! Stop hugging me!
[06:11] GAZUS
    Go on! Get offa me!
[06:15] KYLE
    Sorry to interrupt, Gazus and Miranda,
    but I have some questions.
[06:25] GAZUS
    The governor wasn't always this way.
[06:28] GAZUS
    He truly cares for Karan.
[06:33] GAZUS
    He's just going about things the wrong way.
[06:36] GAZUS
    I was born and raised here too.
[06:39] GAZUS
    I understand how he feels.
[06:43] KYLE
    When did you learn about the missing people?
[06:46] GAZUS
    A month ago.
[06:48] GAZUS
    I told him countless times to stop,
    but he wouldn't listen.
[06:52] MIRANDA
    We had to be careful,
    lest he try to silence us.
[06:55] GAZUS
    But I'm Karan's best blacksmith,
     if I do say so myself.
[07:00] KYLE
    In other words, the city needs you to prosper.
[07:04] GAZUS
    Yeah, but the governor didn't
    just refuse to listen to me.
[07:09] GAZUS
    He demanded my cooperation.
[07:12] GAZUS
    He threatened to kill Goh and
    Miranda if I didn't do as he said.
[07:19] GAZUS
    So I've been keeping my distance,
    hoping they wouldn't get dragged into this.
[07:29] GAZUS
    By the way, about the Holy Sword Rand...
[07:33] KYLE
    Oh, yeah. Let Theron keep the sword.
[07:36] KYLE
    He's the one who found it.
[07:38] GAZUS
    It belongs to Karan!
[07:40] GAZUS
    It's a priceless national treasure!
[07:43] KYLE
    Yeah, that may be.
[07:45] KYLE
    Firstly, Gazus, we just saved your life.
[07:49] KYLE
    Isn't that right?
[07:51] GAZUS
    A-And I'm grateful, but...
[07:53] KYLE
    In addition, Theron and my friends here
    protected Goh when your home was attacked.
[07:59] KYLE
    Then, during the slaughter at the embassy,
[08:02] KYLE
    I drove off the demon and protected
     Miranda, who was also there.
[08:07] KYLE
    In other words, we've saved
     three lives, yours included.
[08:16] KYLE
    On top of that, you've had trouble
    sourcing mithril, no?
[08:21] KYLE
    In that case...
[08:24] GAZUS
    I-Is this mithril?
[08:25] KYLE
    Yeah. We excavated a ton
    from some Xarles ruins.
[08:30] KYLE
    One of our goals in coming to Karan was
    to find a blacksmith who could use it.
[08:39] KYLE
    You probably are the best
    blacksmith on the continent.
[08:43] KYLE
    You may eventually forge a blade
    greater than the holy sword.
[08:48] GAZUS
    G-Greater than the holy sword?
[08:51] KYLE
    We'll provide the mithril you need to do it.
[08:55] KYLE
    Use as much as you'd like.
[08:57] GAZUS
    A-As much mithril as I'd like?
[08:59] KYLE
    Picture it.
[09:01] KYLE
    Imagine yourself using all the high-quality
    mithril you want to forge a sword.
[09:09] KYLE
    Now then, considering our fantastic offer,
[09:13] KYLE
    surely there won't be a problem
    with one holy sword going missing.
[09:17] GAZUS
    B-But...
[09:19] MIRANDA
    The holy sword was never
    in Karan. Isn't that right?
[09:24] GAZUS
    I-If you say so.
[09:28] KYLE/ID
    I'm glad Gazus is the kind of guy who
    lets his partner call the shots.
[09:32] KYLE
    Next up, there's something
     I'd like you to make.
[09:38] GAZUS
    You want me to make this?
[09:40] KYLE
    Yeah. Think you can do it?
[09:42] GAZUS
    Now that mithril's not an issue, sure.
[09:45] GAZUS
    But it'll take me three days.
[09:47] KYLE
    Do it in two.
[09:49] GAZUS
    Two days?!
[09:50] GAZUS
    Don't be ridiculous!
[09:51] KYLE
    It's ridiculous but not impossible, right?
[09:55] KYLE
    I have a duel three days from now.
[09:57] KYLE
    I need it before then. Please.
[10:00] GAZUS
    Damn it! The man who saved my life
    just had to be this pain in the ass.
[10:05] GAZUS
    Damn it all!
[10:06] GAZUS
    I gotta get my ass to the forge and hole up.
[10:11] GAZUS
    Miranda, look after Goh for a while.
[10:20] KYLE/ID
    We're all set there now.
[10:22] KYLE/ID
    That just leaves...
[10:35] KYLE
    Are you two okay?
[10:37] LIESE
    Yeah. We weren't seriously injured.
[10:43] URZA
    I still think that female
    demon was holding back.
[10:47] LIESE
    I couldn't land a single attack.
[10:50] LIESE
    I had no idea demons were so strong.
[10:53] URZA
    The elders of my hometown
    described them as fearsome.
[10:57] URZA
    It seems they did not exaggerate.
[10:59] KYLE
    Their power is on another level.
[11:02] KYLE
    You don't have to force yourselves to fight—
[11:05] LIESE
    But it's okay!
[11:07] LIESE
    We'll win next time!
[11:09] LIESE
    Right?
[11:10] URZA
    Yes. They think we are beneath them.
[11:13] URZA
    We can exploit that.
[11:17] KYLE/ID
    I was planning to tag in
    Theron next time, but...
[11:21] KYLE/ID
    I didn't think they'd be so motivated.
[11:24] THERON
    So there's nothing for me to do?
[11:27] KYLE
    No. If it comes to it,
    cut the demons down from behind.
[11:31] THERON
    The dirty work's on me, then.
[11:33] THERON
    You said this would be a fair duel.
[11:36] KYLE
    All part of my plan.
[11:38] THERON
    You're one nasty dude.
[11:40] THERON
    Was putting off the fight even necessary?
[11:45] KYLE
    Yeah. I can't have them getting
    cornered and desperate.
[11:49] THERON
    Oh, right. The magic circle.
[11:52] THERON
    But still...
[11:54] KYLE
    You're just itching to use the holy sword.
[11:57] THERON
    Well, yeah, of course.
[11:59] KYLE
    Besides, the male demon didn't seem
    too concerned with the holy sword,
[12:04] KYLE
    so we needed to get our hands on that.
[12:07] THERON
    You were after his horn from the start?
[12:11] THERON
    Either way, those demons were pretty strong.
[12:14] THERON
    We won't necessarily win in a fair fight.
[12:18] KYLE
    I know.
[12:19] KYLE
    That's why I asked for three days.
[12:35] KYLE
    It's definitely on the brink of imploding.
[12:37] KYLE
    We need to do something about it.
[12:40] SILDONIA
    Releasing magic power is simple.
[12:43] SILDONIA
    Once you learn how, even you could do it.
[12:48] KYLE
    The magic power in this catalyst...
[12:50] KYLE
    Can't I transfer it to the
    Divine Dragon's Heart?
[12:53] SILDONIA
    I see. This thing could easily store enough
    magic power to destroy a city.
[13:02] SILDONIA
    It'll take days to complete the transfer.
[13:08] KYLE
    Out of curiosity,
[13:09] KYLE
    was it even possible to use earth-shifting
    magic to force more mithril to the surface?
[13:17] SILDONIA
    No. All the veins in this
    area have been depleted.
[13:21] KYLE
    I thought so.
[13:23] SILDONIA
    Even if they'd been able to gather more,
    it would have altered the landscape.
[13:27] SILDONIA
    This city would have still been destroyed.
[13:30] KYLE
    So everything the governor did was for naught.
[14:50] SILDONIA
    The duel is tomorrow!
[14:52] SILDONIA
    How can he be so relaxed?!
[14:55] KYLE
    I prefer it that way.
[14:58] KYLE
    We can't afford to lose.
[15:01] KYLE
    To prevent the Great Invasion,
    what we need most is intel on demons.
[15:06] KYLE
    In particular, about the next demon king.
[15:29] LIESE
    They're not here yet.
[15:31] KYLE
    It was a mistake not to specify a time.
[15:35] THERON
    You've always been like this.
[15:38] URZA
    You forget the important details.
[15:42] LIESE
    I doubt they'll show up soon,
    so why don't we have some tea?
[15:48] KYLE
    More importantly, did you come up with a plan?
[15:52] LIESE
    You bet!
[15:54] URZA
    I'm not so arrogant as to think
    our victory is certain,
[15:57] URZA
    but we do have a shot.
[16:11] GARNIAS
    So you didn't run away, hmm?
[16:15] KYLE
    We've been waiting for you!
[16:17] LIESE
    Kyle, you've got crumbs on you.
[16:20] KYLE
    What?
[16:21] URZA
    What a slob.
[16:22] LIESE
    Sheesh.
[16:23] URZA
    Get this cleaned up.
[16:25] URZA
    Theron, don't just sit there.
[16:26] THERON
    How did you make such a mess?
[16:28] SILDONIA
    Sorry.
[16:32] SILDONIA
    Honestly, I'm amazed you'd have tea
     before a duel with demons.
[16:37] THERON
    You didn't have to!
[16:39] SILDONIA
    I'm not the one fighting.
[16:41] YULIGA
    You lot requested this duel.
[16:44] YULIGA
    Do you mean to mock us?
[16:47] GARNIAS
    Let them be.
[16:48] GARNIAS
    They're trying to lower our
    guard and stoke our rage.
[16:53] KYLE
    Sorry about the wait.
[16:57] KYLE
    Now, let's settle this.
[17:04] KYLE
    However...
[17:05] KYLE
    First, why don't we go elsewhere?
[17:08] KYLE
    You and I will fight one-on-one, but this
    chamber's too cramped for two fights at once.
[17:16] GARNIAS
    As you wish.
[17:17] GARNIAS
    You'll just be choosing where you die.
[17:20] YULIGA
    Are you sure?
[17:22] YULIGA
    Won't this give them an advantage?
[17:24] GARNIAS
    I don't care if they have
     tricks up their sleeve.
[17:27] GARNIAS
    I shall utterly destroy him.
[17:32] KYLE
    Follow me.
[17:34] KYLE
    The rest is up to you guys.
[17:36] THERON
    Sure!
[17:41] THERON
    You're staying here?
[17:42] SILDONIA
    I'm to inform him immediately
    if anything happens here.
[17:46] SILDONIA
    Normally I should stay with my sword,
[17:49] SILDONIA
    but as long as I still supply it
    with magic power, it's fine.
[17:54] YULIGA
    Now then, are you prepared?
[17:56] THERON
    I'm just here as a witness.
[17:59] THERON
    If you beat those two,
    I'll give you the holy sword.
[18:05] YULIGA
    I see.
[18:07] YULIGA
    Honestly, I don't want to do this,
    but it's for the sword.
[18:13] YULIGA
    I learned from our previous fight
    that you're reasonably strong.
[18:25] YULIGA
    This time, I will fight at full strength.
[18:46] YULIGA
    If you don't want to die,
    you should surrender soon.
[18:51] SILDONIA
    This is bad.
[18:54] THERON
    It's a bit unexpected,
[18:56] THERON
    but if they can survive the first attack,
    it should be a decent fight.
[19:10] LIESE/ID
    She's so fast!
[19:12] LIESE/ID
    Way faster than before!
[19:17] URZA
    Salamander!
[19:21] LIESE
    Yikes.
[19:24] LIESE
    Hot stuff!
[19:30] YULIGA
    You're in the way!
[19:35] URZA
    Gnome!
[19:39] YULIGA
    Two at once?
[19:45] LIESE
    Got—
[19:48] LIESE/ID
    She just grazed me,
    but I can barely stay conscious!
[19:55] URZA
    No you don't!
[20:09] SILDONIA
    As I thought,
    the difference in power is clear.
[20:12] SILDONIA
    Shouldn't you help them?
[20:14] THERON
    You're not wrong, but if I'm not careful,
    they'll kill me later for interfering.
[20:21] THERON
    Besides, the situation isn't that bad.
[20:25] URZA
    She's strong.
[20:27] LIESE
    Yeah, but...
[20:30] URZA
    I wouldn't say she's unbeatable.
[20:34] YULIGA
    You're quite tough, but it's time to end this!
[20:37] URZA
    Gnome!
[20:40] YULIGA
    Futile!
[20:41] URZA
    Liese!
[20:42] LIESE
    On it!
[20:44] YULIGA
    I'll tear through you and your spirit!
[20:49] YULIGA
    What...?
[20:52] LIESE
    One more where that came from!
[21:00] YULIGA/ID
    The gnome wasn't a shield.
[21:02] YULIGA/ID
    It was there to block my view.
[21:06] YULIGA
    How dare you?!
[21:31] SILDONIA
    Huh.
[21:41] LIESE
    All right!
[21:52] KYLE
    This place will do.
[21:54] KYLE
    Now, let us begin.
[23:35] SIGN
    Next Time
[23:35] SIGN

[23:35] NA
    Next time: "Secret Red-Hot Strategy."
