[00:05] MILENA
    First, I would like to thank
    all of you formally.
[00:09] KYLE
    Did Zentos, captain of the second
    battalion, really plan this attack?
[00:16] MILENA
    Yes, and the person behind it all
     is my older brother, Carenas.
[00:22] THERON
    Your own brother would do this?
[00:24] URZA
    So it's a family quarrel.
[00:27] MILENA
    Precisely.
[00:29] KYLE
    It was really Zentos...
[00:34] KYLE
    You're certain?
[00:36] MILENA
    Yes.
[00:37] MILENA
    After all, I heard it straight
    from his lips last night.
[00:49] (Flashback) CARENAS
    Did it work?
[00:50] (Flashback) ZENTOS
    Yes.
[00:52] (Flashback) ZENTOS
    At the very least, she won't wake up
     until tomorrow afternoon.
[00:56] (Flashback) CARENAS
    If we leave her in the woods,
    she'll be monster chow!
[01:01] (Flashback) ZENTOS
    We'll tell everyone that she left
    for Sanes Village in spite of the danger.
[01:07] (Flashback) CARENAS
    And the princess who loves her
     people so much will be attacked
[01:11] (Flashback) CARENAS
    on the way there, tragically meeting her end!
[01:15] (Flashback) CARENAS
    It's the perfect plan!
[01:20] MILENA
    I knew my brother held such ambitions,
[01:24] MILENA
    but I thought he lacked
    the ability to act on them.
[01:29] NINOS
    Your Highness, you're revealing too much.
[01:32] MILENA
    It's all right, Ninos.
[01:35] THERON
    I knew I recognized you!
[01:37] THERON
    The girl with the flowers in Archen!
[01:39] NINOS
    N-No, I wasn't...
[01:41] MILENA
    You noticed?
[01:43] MILENA
    I had her change her appearance quite a bit.
[01:46] THERON
    You caught my eye because you look
     like you'll be a babe one day.
[01:50] KYLE
    So you set her up to do that?
[01:52] MILENA
    It's best to be overt
    when courting public favor.
[01:57] THERON
    She just admitted to courting public favor.
[01:59] URZA
    Human politics are rather involved.
[02:02] MILENA
    I never suspected Zentos whatsoever.
[02:06] MILENA
    That was a fatal misestimation.
[02:09] MILENA
    Frankly, my brother is incompetent,
    but having Zentos on his side changes things.
[02:15] MILENA
    The captain is both capable and well-liked.
[02:21] MILENA
    Naturally, I've always been
    wary of my brother.
[02:25] MILENA
    Whenever I go out, I insist that Kilren
     and the fifth battalion escort me.
[02:31] KYLE
    The fifth battalion...
[02:33] KYLE
    I hear their company is entirely women.
[02:36] MILENA
    Yes, but for their elegant grandeur,
[02:39] MILENA
    they're often summoned for ceremonies
    in the royal capital.
[02:42] MILENA
    So this time, Zentos was
    assigned to escort me instead.
[02:47] MILENA
    Now that I think about it,
[02:49] MILENA
    I should've been suspicious
     that my brother came along.
[02:54] KYLE/ID
    I can't believe Zentos was
    involved in the assassination.
[02:58] KYLE/ID
    I just can't. But...
[03:00] KYLE/ID
    I can tell the princess isn't lying.
[03:03] KYLE/ID
    There's no denying it...
    He's our enemy now.
[03:08] KYLE
    Since their monster assassination failed,
    they'll plot something else.
[03:13] MILENA
    I have no doubt that Zentos
    has already planned ahead.
[03:18] KYLE
    He'll probably say that we
     attacked the princess.
[03:22] LIESE
    What? He's going to pin it on us?
[03:25] KYLE
    Yeah.
[03:26] KYLE
    He'll paint us as heinous criminals
    who slaughtered her escort.
[03:30] THERON
    What should we do?
[03:31] THERON
    We can't go back and leave
     the princess behind now.
[03:34] KYLE
    You were forthcoming with the details
    to keep us from running, weren't you?
[03:39] MILENA
    Indeed. Now we're in this together.
[03:43] MILENA
    Let's do what we can to survive.
[03:45] MILENA
    Naturally, I'll reward you if we make it
    back to the royal capital safely.
[03:51] KYLE
    That's all right.
[03:53] KYLE
    We don't need money or status.
[03:56] KYLE
    We ask only for honor.
[04:00] MILENA
    That's an unusual request.
[05:35] MILENA
    First, we have it in our favor
[05:38] MILENA
    that help will arrive if we buy enough time.
[05:41] MILENA
    Kilren's fifth battalion is scheduled
    to arrive in Archen tomorrow morning.
[05:46] MILENA
    Once they learn I'm not there,
    they will come looking for me.
[05:50] KYLE
    Won't they run into the second
    battalion when they do?
[05:54] MILENA
    With the fifth battalion,
    our forces will be equal.
[05:56] MILENA
    Any commotion would mean
     trouble for them, not us.
[06:00] KYLE
    So they're in a tough spot as well, hmm?
[06:03] THERON
    In that case, why don't we
    hide out in Sanes Village?
[06:07] KYLE
    Better that we don't.
    They'll raze it to keep this quiet.
[06:10] THERON
    Yikes. Seriously?
[06:12] LIESE
    They'd do that?
[06:14] URZA
    They've already killed a few royal guards.
[06:18] KYLE
    They wouldn't think twice
    about a hundred villagers.
[06:21] KYLE
    It's going to be dangerous,
    but we should turn back.
[06:25] KYLE
    There are tens of thousands
    of people in Archen.
[06:28] KYLE
    They can't kill everyone.
[06:30] KYLE
    Plus, we'll meet up with the
    fifth battalion sooner.
[06:33] MILENA
    But we'll also run into our pursuers.
[06:37] MILENA
    Do you have a plan to slip past them?
[06:40] KYLE
    We'll punch straight through.
[06:43] MILENA
    What?
[06:51] KYLE
    Zentos isn't with them?
[06:54] SILDONIA
    The man who accompanied
     the princess in Archen, right?
[06:57] SILDONIA
    I've checked several times,
    but I don't see him.
[07:00] KYLE
    I see.
[07:01] MILENA
    That intelligent sword
    is a rather helpful tool.
[07:06] KYLE
    Her reconnaissance is going
    to be our linchpin.
[07:10] KYLE
    Now that we know Zentos isn't here,
[07:12] KYLE
    we can plan accordingly and prepare.
[07:16] KYLE
    I'd say our odds are good.
[07:19] MILENA
    So many magic stones...
[07:21] LIESE
    Your Highness, take these.
[07:24] LIESE
    Drink one right away if you get injured.
[07:28] MILENA
    Top-class potions as well?
[07:33] MILENA
    Just who are you people?
[07:37] KYLE
    Aspiring heroes who happened
     to be passing by.
[07:42] CARENAS
    What's going on?!
[07:44] CARENAS
    Tell me what's happening!
[07:46] ZENTOS
    There's no need for alarm.
[07:49] ZENTOS
    My vice captain and men are
    pursuing the princess as we speak.
[07:52] CARENAS
    And what are you doing here?
[07:55] CARENAS
    You should be running off
    to finish that broad too!
[07:58] ZENTOS
    If the princess isn't in Archen
    when the fifth battalion arrives,
[08:02] ZENTOS
    Captain Kilren will question you.
[08:07] ZENTOS
    You'd have to handle that by yourself.
[08:14] CARENAS
    Listen here!
[08:15] CARENAS
    Now that you're in on my plan,
    I won't tolerate any screw-ups!
[08:18] CARENAS
    Do whatever it takes to finish Milena!
[08:20] ZENTOS
    You can count on me.
[08:22] ZENTOS
    I swear I will not let you down.
[08:30] VICE CAPTAIN
    We're stopping!
[08:34] KNIGHT A
    I spotted the carriage.
[08:35] KNIGHT A
    It should pass this way soon.
[08:38] VICE CAPTAIN
    Prepare to fire!
[08:44] VICE CAPTAIN
    Aim for their legs.
[08:46] VICE CAPTAIN
    We just need to immobilize them.
[09:02] VICE CAPTAIN
    Fi—
[09:20] VICE CAPTAIN
    Don't break ranks!
[09:22] VICE CAPTAIN
    All troops, dismount!
[09:29] KYLE
    We're charging ahead!
[09:30] URZA
    I've got this.
[09:31] URZA
    Silpheed!
[09:37] THERON
    Drop dead, losers!
[09:41] THERON
    C'mon, c'mon, c'mon! Is that all you got?
[09:43] MILENA
    This is certainly... impressive.
[09:54] VICE CAPTAIN
    See who's left standing.
[09:56] VICE CAPTAIN
    We'll give chase with whoever can still move.
[09:58] KNIGHT B
    Sir!
[10:02] THERON
    Just look what you can do
    when money's no object.
[10:06] KYLE
    It was a pretty awful plan,
    but I'm glad it worked.
[10:11] KYLE
    In any case, we're safe for the time being.
[10:17] URZA
    What now?
[10:20] KYLE
    I guess we were too reckless.
[10:23] THERON
    This doesn't look good.
[10:25] URZA
    We'll have to abandon the carriage.
[10:27] LIESE
    Your Highness, ladies. This way.
[10:29] MILENA
    Okay.
[10:31] KYLE
    Urza, can you use Windwalker?
[10:34] URZA
    Sure, but I'm not confident we'll
    be able to shake them.
[10:38] KYLE
    Sildonia?
[10:39] SILDONIA
    Indeed, our pursuers number about thirty.
[10:43] KYLE
    Good. That's way less than before.
[10:45] KYLE
    They'll have a squad waiting
    at the city entrance.
[10:49] KYLE
    We need to avoid getting pincered.
[10:52] KYLE
    Someone's got to stay back and slow them down.
[10:55] URZA
    By themselves?
[10:56] KYLE
    Protecting the princess comes first.
[10:58] URZA
    We're talking thirty royal guards.
[11:00] URZA
    Standing against them alone is suicide.
[11:03] KYLE
    It's all right. We can do it.
[11:07] URZA
    Kyle...
[11:10] KYLE
    Theron can, anyway.
[11:12] URZA
    What?
[11:13] THERON
    Huh? Sorry, I wasn't listening.
[11:15] KYLE
    It's on you to stall the royal guard.
[11:18] THERON
    What?
[11:19] LIESE
    Kyle, we're all set.
[11:22] KYLE
    Urza, cast Windwalker.
[11:25] URZA
    Are you sure?
[11:26] KYLE
    We don't have much time. Hurry.
[11:31] URZA
    Windwalker!
[11:37] THERON
    Wait! What do you expect me to do by myself?
[11:40] KYLE
    I know it'll be hard, but good luck!
[11:41] THERON
    No, wait! You're kidding, right?
[11:43] LIESE
    Good luck, Theron!
[11:45] THERON
    Wait! I said wait!
[11:52] THERON
    They actually left me behind.
[12:01] VICE CAPTAIN
    Halt!
[12:03] THERON
    I surrender!
[12:05] THERON
    I surrender! I don't want to fight!
[12:08] THERON
    Please! Please spare me!
[12:20] THERON
    Forgive me!
[12:24] THERON
    It's all Kyle's fault!
    The guy who just left me and ran!
[12:27] THERON
    He dragged me into this...
[12:29] THERON
    So, please, let me go!
[12:33] THERON
    O-Oh, I know!
[12:35] THERON
    I have tons of money. Look, see?
[12:37] THERON
    I found it in the labyrinth
    of the Sungard Mountains.
[12:40] THERON
    I know where it is!
[12:42] THERON
    I'll show you there, so please spare—
[12:44] KNIGHT A
    Vice Captain!
[12:46] KNIGHT C
    The princess isn't inside!
[12:48] KNIGHT D
    They must've fled on the horses!
[12:50] VICE CAPTAIN
    We'll go after her.
[12:52] THERON
    Wh-What about me?
[12:55] VICE CAPTAIN
    Dispose of him.
[12:58] THERON
    Please! I don't want to die!
[13:01] THERON
    I'll do anything! Just don't kill me!
[13:04] VICE CAPTAIN
    You're in the way!
[13:09] URZA
    Kyle, are you serious
     about leaving Theron behind?
[13:12] URZA
    They're certain to kill him.
[13:14] KYLE
    Well, I would've preferred
    that no one had to die.
[13:18] URZA
    You can't mean that!
[13:20] LIESE
    Oh, right.
[13:21] LIESE
    We hadn't told you yet.
[13:23] URZA
    What do you mean?
[13:25] LIESE
    Well, you see...
[13:26] LIESE
    Theron is actually
[13:29] LIESE
    way stronger than me or Kyle.
[13:38] THERON
    Sure enough...
[13:40] THERON
    Killing the big guy first
     is the way to go, isn't it?
[14:07] THERON
    I feel light as a feather now.
[14:10] THERON
    Okay, here we go!
[14:36] THERON
    All the horses are gone now.
[14:38] THERON
    Pretty decent for an opener.
[14:42] KYLE
    You know how he's always disappearing on us?
[14:45] KYLE
    He's usually practicing with his sword alone.
[14:49] KYLE
    He has zero aptitude for magic
    and a questionable personality,
[14:54] KYLE
    but when it comes to skill with a blade,
     he's far better than me.
[14:59] LIESE
    He never slacks off in his training either.
[15:01] LIESE
    He wears all those Gravity accessories, too.
[15:04] KYLE
    And he's ruthless in a fight.
[15:08] KYLE
    I'd never want to go up against him.
[15:10] URZA
    Then what of his frivolous attitude?
[15:13] KYLE
    Made you underestimate him, didn't it?
[15:15] KYLE
    Anyone who fights him, none the wiser...
[15:17] URZA
    ...Will be dead on the spot.
[15:18] URZA
    So it's all an act to fool his enemies?
[15:21] KYLE
    No, it's not like that.
[15:23] KYLE
    It's only half an act.
[15:24] LIESE
    More like 10 percent.
[15:26] URZA
    Oh, really? I'm glad.
[15:30] KYLE
    Even Theron won't be able to hold
    back against thirty royal guards.
[15:35] KYLE
    I wish they didn't have to die.
[15:38] KYLE
    They had nothing to do with this.
[15:43] THERON/ID
    Eight knights left.
[15:45] THERON/ID
    The royal guard sure is a determined bunch.
[15:49] THERON
    What a massive pain in the butt.
[15:53] KNIGHT
    What?!
[15:55] THERON
    My job is to slow you down,
    not kill you all.
[16:00] THERON
    Your horses are gone. We've killed some time.
[16:03] THERON
    No way are you catching up now.
[16:06] THERON
    If you wanna run, you'd better hop to it.
[16:10] THERON
    If you hurry, some of you might survive.
[16:13] KNIGHT
    He's right.
[16:14] KNIGHT
    What should we do?
[16:16] KNIGHT
    No point in dying here.
[16:20] KNIGHT
    Can you stand?
[16:22] KNIGHT
    Hang in there.
[16:54] THERON
    Sorry.
[16:56] THERON
    I was never going to let any of you live.
[17:01] THERON
    That was exhausting.
[17:04] THERON
    I managed to clean house over here.
[17:07] THERON
    You guys had better not mess this up.
[17:15] ZENTOS
    Someone is interfering.
[17:23] ZENTOS
    Guard the prince.
[17:26] ZENTOS
    Let no one through until I return.
[17:28] KNIGHTS
    Sir!
[17:42] SILDONIA
    Kyle!
[17:44] KYLE
    What is it?
[17:44] SILDONIA
    A single knight is heading your way.
[17:47] KYLE
    Just one?
[17:48] SILDONIA
    Indeed, just the one.
[17:58] KYLE
    Sildonia? What's wrong?
[18:01] SILDONIA
    I was attacked with an Energy Bolt.
[18:04] SILDONIA
    I'm all right.
[18:05] SILDONIA
    But such power and accuracy at this range...
[18:08] SILDONIA
    I'm impressed.
[18:10] KYLE
    It's him.
[18:12] KYLE
    Princess Milena.
[18:14] KYLE
    Hide here for a while.
[18:17] KYLE
    If anything seems strange to you two,
     turn back and meet up with Theron.
[18:21] URZA
    O-Okay.
[18:22] LIESE
    Yeah. Got it.
[18:24] MILENA
    Zentos is coming, isn't he?
[18:27] KYLE
    Yes.
[18:29] MILENA
    He is Zirgus's greatest knight.
[18:31] MILENA
    Can you defeat him alone?
[18:34] KYLE
    I wanted to avoid fighting him,
    but there's no other way.
[18:39] KYLE
    Will you let me handle this?
[18:45] MILENA
    I've been wondering about something.
[18:47] MILENA
    You speak as though you know him.
[18:51] MILENA
    Was it truly coincidence that you rescued us?
[19:01] MILENA
    You're right. Now is not
    the time to discuss such things.
[19:06] MILENA
    My fate is in your hands.
[19:13] MILENA
    May fortune favor you, Sir Kyle.
[19:18] KYLE
    I swear I'll be victorious.
[19:47] ZENTOS
    You must be the one aiding the princess.
[19:50] KYLE
    I am.
[19:51] KYLE
    Why have you come alone?
[19:53] KYLE
    You must have other knights.
[19:55] ZENTOS
    I don't want to lose anyone else
    who isn't a party to this.
[20:01] ZENTOS
    After all, I can resolve
    everything here by killing you.
[20:08] KYLE
    I see.
[20:10] KYLE
    I'm sure this will sound like a
    strange request to make now,
[20:13] KYLE
    but would you consider surrendering?
[20:15] KYLE
    I don't want to kill you.
[20:17] ZENTOS
    What?
[20:18] KYLE
    I'll even ask the princess to pardon you.
[20:21] ZENTOS
    Don't be absurd.
[20:24] KYLE
    Also, I have a question.
[20:26] KYLE
    Why did you help try to kill her?
[20:29] KYLE
    It wasn't for money or status, was it?
[20:33] ZENTOS
    You don't need to know,
    as you're about to die.
[20:38] ZENTOS
    Enough talk.
[20:40] ZENTOS
    I will defeat you swiftly
    and go after the princess.
[20:47] KYLE/ID
    I really have no choice but to fight.
[20:59] KYLE & ZENTOS
    Haste!
[21:00] KYLE & ZENTOS
    Strength!
[21:31] KYLE/ID
    Too shallow!
[21:34] ZENTOS/ID
    My feint using illusion magic...
[21:38] ZENTOS/ID
    No one's ever evaded it
    the first time they've seen it.
[21:43] KYLE/ID
    I know how you fight.
[21:55] KYLE/ID
    Because the one who taught me
    how to be a magic swordsman...
[22:01] KYLE/ID
    was you.
