**[00:06] Soldiers**
Enemies?
**[00:07] Soldiers**
What nation's battleship is that?
**[00:09] Inglis**
It probably belongs to
the Bloodchain Brigade.
**[00:12] Carius**
What? The Bloodchain Brigade?
**[00:18] Ivel**
So the rats scurried right into the trap?
**[00:21] Inglis**
Rats?
**[00:22] Ivel**
The Bloodchain Brigade are the most
extreme of the anti-Highlander factions.
**[00:26] Ivel**
They've been getting out of hand,
and it's become a problem.
**[00:31] Ivel**
So I set a trap.
**[00:33] Carius**
You knew about the Bloodchain Brigade?
**[00:36] Ivel**
Obviously.
**[00:38] Inglis**
A trap, you say?
**[00:40] Ivel**
Nothing complicated.
**[00:41] Ivel**
We just set up a fake ceremony.
**[00:44] Ivel**
Then I, an Arch Lord, attended.
**[00:49] Rani**
A fake ceremony?
**[00:51] Inglis**
Then the new Hyral Menas...?
**[00:55] Ivel**
That was a lie, of course.
**[00:57] Ivel**
Our goal was to lure the rats out
into the open and exterminate them.
**[01:02] Carius**
So we were just pawns, then?
**[01:05] Knight**
Then why did His Majesty
have to face such humiliation?
**[01:10] Inglis**
None of you have meaning!
None of you have value!
**[01:13] Inglis**
You're all worthless, helpless trash that
can't do anything but crawl on the ground!
**[01:17] Rani**
That's so cruel!
**[01:20] Inglis**
Wonderful!
**[01:23] Inglis**
So what you're saying
is that you're a bad guy
**[01:28] Inglis**
who not only lied to our king,
but also cut off his arm.
**[01:32] Inglis**
I've got that right, don't I?
**[01:34] Ivel**
Yup. I commend you for your excellent
understanding of the situation.
**[01:38] Inglis**
Your Majesty, order me to strike
this criminal down, and I will.
**[01:44] Carius**
You must not kill him.
**[01:46] Carius**
Capture him alive.
**[01:48] Inglis**
As you wish.
**[01:49] Inglis**
You heard the man.
**[01:51] Inglis**
So the situation has changed.
I'll be taking you up on that duel.
**[01:55] Ivel**
Sure, but I've got other
people to fight today.
**[01:59] Ivel**
Let's make it quick.
**[02:00] Ivel**
Give me all you've got!
**[02:02] Inglis**
Thank you!
**[02:06] Ivel**
*Is that pale light... magic?*
**[02:09] Ivel**
*No, it's nothing I've ever sensed before.*
**[02:12] Ivel**
* This woman's a threat*
* like none I've ever seen...*
**[02:16] Ivel**
*So I'll...*
**[02:18] Ivel**
* Come on. The second you touch this wall,*
* you'll lose an arm or a leg,*
**[02:24] Ivel**
*just like that knight and your king did!*
**[02:28] Ivel**
What's wrong?
**[02:30] Ivel**
Come and get me.
**[02:32] Inglis**
That magic, it's an "annihilation" effect
that destroys whatever touches it, right?
**[02:38] Ivel**
*How did she know?*
**[02:40] Ivel**
*Can she see this wall?*
**[02:43] Inglis**
It looks like surrounding your whole body
with it weakened the effects.
**[02:49] Inglis**
It'd be stronger if you concentrated
your power in one spot.
**[02:54] Inglis**
Go ahead and do that, please.
**[02:57] Inglis**
I'll attack that point.
**[03:02] Ivel**
Are you stupid?
**[03:04] Ivel**
If I do that, and you just attack
a different spot, I'm finished!
**[03:09] Inglis**
If I wanted to do that,
I'd already have attacked you.
**[03:13] Inglis**
You can't believe me?
**[03:16] Inglis**
For a Highlander Arch Lord,
you're kind of a coward.
**[03:26] Inglis**
Nice!
**[03:27] Rani**
Chris!
**[03:29] Ivel**
Come on! I'll just pray you're not a liar!
**[03:33] Inglis**
Of course! Here I go!
**[03:37] Inglis**
* If I use an aether-imbued attack*
* to destroy the magic structure itself...*
**[03:52] Inglis**
Oops!
**[03:54] Inglis**
Where do you think he fell?
**[03:56] Rani**
Well, that's Chris for you...

**[05:40] King**
We have no choice now but to
destroy the Bloodchain Brigade!
**[05:47] King**
We may be able to use that to restore
relations with the Highland.
**[05:51] King**
Go!
**[05:52] Knights**
Yes, Your Majesty!
**[05:53] Knight**
Sire, please evacuate.
**[05:56] Knight**
Everyone but His Majesty's guards,
go on the attack!
**[05:58] Knights**
Yes, sir!
**[06:00] Inglis**
We'll go engage the Bloodchain Brigade, then.
**[06:03] Rani**
"We"?
**[06:05] Rani**
Chris, I'm a little tired after
healing His Majesty's arm...
**[06:10] Inglis**
If you want to rest, you can rest near me.
**[06:13] Rani**
Wherever you are is bound to be
where the fighting's fiercest!
**[06:18] Inglis**
It's fine! Come on, come on!
**[06:21] Rani**
Fine! Fine! Well...
**[06:24] Rani**
I'll be back later!
**[06:28] Carius**
She seems like someone I can count on.
**[06:34] Inglis**
Over there!
**[06:36] Rani**
A Flying Gear!
**[06:37] Inglis**
No time for that!
**[06:40] Inglis**
Sorry to bother you!
**[06:42] Knights**
Wh-What the heck?!
**[06:44] Knights**
What *is* that?
**[06:46] Knights**
A maid! It's an airborne maid!
**[06:49] Knights**
She's fast!
**[06:53] Inglis**
There we go.
**[06:54] Inglis**
Look, Rani. We're almost at the
Bloodchain Brigade's battleship.
**[06:58] Rani**
I knew it'd be the front line...
**[07:03] Rani**
We need to stop them now,
before they hurt more innocents.
**[07:08] Rani**
Here we go, Chris!
**[07:10] Inglis**
Oh, you're all ready to fight now, huh, Rani?
**[07:13] Rani**
After seeing that, yeah.
**[07:15] Rani**
I'll interrupt their attack.
**[07:17] Inglis**
What are you going to do?
**[07:19] Rani**
Go!
**[07:20] Rani**
Burst!
**[07:22] Rani**
Circle the ship!
**[07:24] Inglis**
I see. You're blinding them.
**[07:27] Rani**
I'll stop their attacks. You stop the ship!
**[07:32] Inglis**
Okay, got it!
**[07:48] Inglis**
Aether Strike!
**[07:58] Inglis**
They deflected it?!
**[08:06] Inglis**
*I knew it...*
**[08:09] Inglis**
*Leon and Sistia don't seem to be there.*
**[08:11] Brigade**
That little girl did that?
**[08:13] Brigade**
How can a maid be that powerful?
**[08:16] Inglis**
Welcome.
**[08:17] Inglis**
I'll be serving you this evening.
**[08:21] Inglis**
That was just my way of welcoming you.
**[08:23] Brigade**
S-Serving us?
**[08:26] Black Mask**
Be careful.
**[08:27] Black Mask**
The more beautiful the rose, the sharper
its thorns and deadlier its poison.
**[08:32] Black Mask**
Continue the mission. I'll deal with her.
**[08:42] Black Mask**
What about your plan
to save the Hyral Menas?
**[08:47] Inglis**
The principal and my friends
from the academy are handling it.
**[08:52] Inglis**
And if we don't do anything,
they might think we're with you.
**[08:58] Inglis**
So the two of us came to protect
the king and the Highlander emissary.
**[09:03] Black Mask**
Doesn't splitting your forces make it
more likely that you'll fail on both fronts?
**[09:10] Inglis**
If I take care of things here
and get over there before they finish,
**[09:14] Inglis**
I get to have twice the fun!
**[09:16] Black Mask**
How bold.
**[09:17] Black Mask**
While you're being bold, why don't you
tell me where the Highlander emissary is?
**[09:23] Inglis**
Oh, sorry...
**[09:28] Inglis**
I actually don't know.
**[09:30] Black Mask**
That's a shame.
**[09:33] Black Mask**
It appears you've grown stronger than before.
**[09:36] Inglis**
I didn't have a way
of determining that for myself.
**[09:39] Inglis**
But you seem like the perfect opportunity!
**[09:42] Black Mask**
So you're using me as a way
to test yourself?
**[09:45] Inglis**
Thanks in advance!
**[09:48] Black Mask**
I guess I have no choice, then.
**[09:58] Silva**
It seems something did happen at the castle!
**[10:03] Silva**
All the troops that were escorting Ripple
headed back to the castle.
**[10:08] Silva**
Now is our chance.
**[10:09] Miliera**
Okay.
**[10:10] Miliera**
Everyone, I'll say this again: you're under no
obligation to participate in this operation.
**[10:16] Miliera**
Please don't feel like you have to.
**[10:19] Leone**
Who's going to go home
after being told *that*?
**[10:21] Liselotte**
Nobody here is going home.
**[10:24] Yua**
Actually, in that case,
I'm gonna go home and sleep.
**[10:28] Miliera**
Wait! Wait, Yua!
**[10:32] Miliera**
We need you here!
**[10:34] Yua**
You just said I didn't have to do it.
**[10:37] Silva**
We need your help.
Please lend us your aid.
**[10:41] Yua**
Mr. Glasses, do you have a fever?
**[10:43] Silva**
No!
**[10:44] Silva**
I'm just fine!
**[10:45] Yua**
Oh, you're right. You get mad so fast.
**[10:48] Silva**
Depending on who I'm talking to!
**[10:51] Miliera**
This isn't the time!
We're about to start the mission!
**[10:54] Ripple**
I'm asking you to stay, too.
**[10:57] Ripple**
I could really use you on my side.
**[11:00] Silva**
Ripple...
**[11:02] Ripple**
I thought I had no choice but to accept
what was happening to me.
**[11:08] Ripple**
A Hyral Menas who can't protect anyone...
is no Hyral Menas at all.
**[11:13] Ripple**
But you're all doing your absolute best
to protect me, right?
**[11:20] Ripple**
Well, one of you seems
to just be having fun.
**[11:23] Miliera**
True. I won't say who, though.
**[11:27] Leone**
She's probably sneezing right now.
**[11:29] Liselotte**
I'm sure she is.
**[11:40] Ripple**
The home where I was born
was destroyed years and years ago.
**[11:45] Ripple**
But now this country is my home.
I can really feel that now.
**[11:50] Ripple**
I understand how I really feel...
**[11:53] Ripple**
I know I'm causing trouble for you all,
**[11:55] Ripple**
but I want to stay here with
the people of this country.
**[11:58] Ripple**
So... it's only natural that
I'd ask for help, right?
**[12:03] Silva**
Ripple...
**[12:05] Ripple**
So, Yua...
**[12:07] Silva**
Yua, Ripple is begging for your help—
**[12:10] Yua**
Zzz...
**[12:11] Silva**
Hey!
**[12:14] Yua**
He's interrupting my sleep!
**[12:15] Yua**
Save me, Lady Animal Ears!
**[12:17] Ripple**
Anyway, I want your help.
**[12:21] Ripple**
If it works out, I'll buy you dinner, okay?
**[12:24] Yua**
I don't want food. I want you to
introduce me to somebody.
**[12:31] Ripple**
What kind of person?
**[12:33] Yua**
Somebody as cool as Mr. Glasses.
**[12:36] Silva**
Wh-What? It's too late for you to try
and get on my good side—
**[12:39] Yua**
Somebody who's not as short-tempered
or weak as Mr. Glasses...
**[12:45] Silva**
Why, you...
**[12:47] Miliera**
Okay, now that we've made it to the
punchline, I'd like to start the mission!
**[12:52] Silva**
The *punchline*? Ma'am...
**[12:55] Miliera**
Go ahead, Leone.
**[12:57] Leone**
Okay!
**[13:06] Silva**
Principal Miliera and I will have Ripple
absorb our power and summon magicite beasts.
**[13:12] Miliera**
You take them out when they show up!
**[13:22] Ripple**
It's in your hands, everyone.
**[13:33] Silva**
Spread out in a circle around Ripple!
**[13:52] Silva**
Here they come!
**[14:04] Inglis**
*Such incredible power!*
**[14:07] Inglis**
* I can see why you're the leader*
* of the Bloodchain Brigade!*
**[14:13] Rani**
Chris, I believe in you!
**[14:25] Black Mask**
Sorry. I'm not done yet.
**[14:29] Inglis**
That's more than fine by me!
**[14:32] Inglis**
* I can sense one more aether flow,*
* besides his Aether Shell.*
**[14:40] Inglis**
An aether sword?
**[14:42] Black Mask**
I'm amazed you dodged that. Impressive.
**[14:46] Inglis**
That sword's made of compressed
and stabilized aether, isn't it?
**[14:52] Inglis**
*I can use magic to create a sword too, but...*
**[14:57] Inglis**
* Wielding a compressed aether sword and*
* aether armor simultaneously is no mean feat.*
**[15:04] Inglis**
*I can't do that myself yet.*
**[15:07] Black Mask**
It is as you say.
**[15:08] Black Mask**
Sorry, but you're mine!
**[15:16] Inglis**
*At this distance, he has the advantage.*
**[15:18] Inglis**
*I need to get closer!*
**[15:20] Inglis**
*But that sword...*
**[15:22] Inglis**
* If I take a hit from that, even with my*
* Aether Shell, I won't be getting off lightly.*
**[15:29] Inglis**
*Which means...*
**[15:30] Inglis**
*I've got one chance!*
**[15:34] Black Mask**
That weak blade can't stop me!
**[15:37] Inglis**
It doesn't need to!
**[15:40] Inglis**
* If it can halt him for even*
* a second, I can get close!*
**[15:49] Inglis**
Aether Strike!
**[15:57] Black Mask**
She's approaching the point
where even I can't stop her?
**[16:00] Inglis**
It sounds like you've been busy.
But I've been focusing on training.
**[16:06] Rani**
Chris, something's coming! Focus!
**[16:12] Inglis**
Ivel! I'm so glad you're okay!
**[16:16] Ivel**
What? You were the one who
kicked me into the sky!
**[16:20] Black Mask**
Arch Lord... You're the emissary this time?
**[16:25] Ivel**
So you're the leader
of the Bloodchain Brigade?
**[16:28] Ivel**
What a stupid-looking costume.
**[16:30] Inglis**
Get back, Ivel. He's after your life.
**[16:35] Ivel**
That's exactly what I want!
**[16:37] Ivel**
I'm going to crush their leader,
before moving on to the rest of the maggots!
**[16:41] Black Mask**
Then I suppose I'll need to defend myself.
**[16:46] Inglis**
Wait! That's no reason to fight each other!
**[16:50] Inglis**
Why can't we all just get along?
**[16:52] Ivel/Black Mask**
You're one to talk!
**[16:54] Inglis**
Of course, if you'd both like to fight me...
**[16:58] Sistia**
I've secured the bridge.
**[17:00] Black Mask**
Well done, Sistia.
**[17:02] Black Mask**
Things have become rather complicated.
**[17:05] Black Mask**
Sistia, lend me your strength.
**[17:09] Sistia**
With pleasure.
**[17:12] Sistia**
My power, my being... Use them as you like.
**[17:16] Sistia**
I entrust it all to you.
**[17:20] Inglis**
The Hyral Menas is becoming a weapon?
**[17:22] Ivel**
Not if I can help it!
**[17:37] Inglis**
Amazing!
**[17:40] Inglis**
* It's absorbing aether,*
* rather than mana, and amplifying it!*
**[17:45] Inglis**
*The Hyral Menas lives up to their reputation!*
**[17:50] Yua**
Gotcha.
**[17:57] Liselotte**
You really are amazing, Yua.
**[18:01] Yua**
Thank you, Curly Hair.
**[18:03] Yua**
But I'm a little tired...
**[18:05] Miliera**
I think we're at our limits.
**[18:21] Liselotte**
Leone...
**[18:23] Liselotte**
Thank you!
**[18:28] Yua**
Nice, Two.
**[18:30] Silva**
She's using her spatial isolation Gift
at the same time... Well done.
**[18:34] Leone**
Thank you.
**[18:37] Leone**
But... sorry. I think I'm at my limit...
**[18:47] Silva**
Is this all we can do?
**[18:49] Miliera**
Let's defeat the magicite beasts
in front of us, at least!
**[18:57] Silva**
No!
**[19:00] Leone**
Lightning beasts? Is that...
**[19:07] Leone**
Brother?
**[19:09] Leon**
Hey.
**[19:10] Leon**
So, um... I'm sure you have a lot
you want to say to me.
**[19:15] Leon**
But I'm going to help you.
**[19:18] Leon**
Hey, don't look so mad.
**[19:21] Leon**
You saw that, right? I'm here to help.
**[19:25] Miliera**
Do you know how much Leone has suffered?
**[19:29] Miliera**
Do you think you can atone
by helping us here?
**[19:33] Leon**
I understand.
**[19:35] Leon**
Here.
**[19:39] Liselotte**
What is that?
**[19:41] Leon**
Mana mist.
**[19:43] Leon**
It should help you.
**[19:46] Liselotte**
He's right... My body feels so light...
**[19:50] Miliera**
That's a big help!
**[19:52] Leon**
Yeah, my new boss has a lot
of helpful stuff.
**[19:56] Leon**
He's the one who told me
to come here, actually.
**[20:01] (Flashback) Black Mask**
You shouldn't keep your desire for justice
bottled up within you.
**[20:05] (Flashback) Black Mask**
If there's something you want
to protect, go protect it.
**[20:09] Leon**
So I didn't have a choice. No choice at all.
**[20:12] Leone**
"No choice"?
**[20:15] Leon**
Leone, seal us all in pocket space again.
**[20:19] Leon**
You're still doubting me?
**[20:21] Leon**
I'm not going to try and trick you.
**[20:23] Leone**
I-I know!
**[20:25] Leon**
You're actually a little glad
I'm here, aren't you?
**[20:31] Leone**
I am not!
**[20:43] Leone**
You're feeding mana to Ripple, right?
**[20:49] Miliera**
Silva...
**[20:50] Silva**
Right.
**[20:51] Leon**
Get ready, everybody.
**[21:25] Rani**
Chris! Look!
**[21:26] Inglis**
It's from the direction of the academy.
**[21:39] Leon**
Hey, you okay?
**[21:41] Leone**
Brother, what was that?
**[21:44] Leon**
Look.
**[21:53] Leon**
Ripple summoned something unbelievable.
**[22:03] Inglis**
That's... a Prismer!
