[00:01] Nemo
    Possession?!
[00:03] Vol
    Yes! A power granted us by Lord Amis!
[00:13] Far
    To retain their wits
    even while possessed...
[00:17] Shir
    How are they not losing control?
[00:26] Cas
    We, the Sons of Destruction, use our
     heroes' powers flawlessly. Like tools.
[00:31] Cas
    We're nothing like you!
[00:34] Nemo
    The Sons of Destruction?
[00:38] Far
    Heroes aren't meant to be used like tools!
[00:41] Far
    They fight alongside us on the battlefield!
[00:44] Vol
    What a stupid idea.
[00:46] Vol
    Now, see if you can break through this one!
[00:50] Vol
    Dark Release!
[00:55] Far
    Shirley—
[01:00] Cas
    Witness my deathblow!
[01:06] Cas
    You're weak! The Seven Knights are weak!
[01:08] Cas
    Is this the best you can do?!
[01:10] Vol
    Really, this has become
     utterly one-sided...
[01:15] Vol
    Boringly so.
SIGN    Rivalry -Conflict-
[02:55] Gar
    Monsters of destruction...
[02:58] Gar
    To think there was a Physis base
     in the school as well...
[03:03] Gar
    And when Claire learned of it...
[03:09] Gar
    Dark Ruler Chris!
[03:11] Gar
    Manifest the true blade of
    vengeance here in my hand!
[03:18] Gar
    Come!
[03:18] Gar
    This is for Claire.
[03:21] Gar
    I'll destroy every last one of you!
[03:30] Stu
    They're suddenly stronger!
[03:38] Nemo
    Is this because of the power
     Jive was talking about?
[03:45] Jo
    Damn.
[03:46] Jo
    We can't let 'em hold us up here!
[03:49] Gil
    They're going to keep destroying silver
    hourglasses if we don't stop them!
[03:53] Gil
    They might be doing so as we speak.
[03:56] Jou
    Then the guys in the volcano...
[04:00] Gil
    Stay safe, everyone!
[04:08] Ger
    Just as prophesied, indeed.
[04:27] Ger
    Your arrival here...
[04:31] Ger
    will bring my plan to fruition.
[04:38] Ger
    Now... reveal to me
     the true Son of Destruction.
[04:51] Far
    Nemo!
[04:52] Shir
    He's strong.
[04:53] Cas
    You're weak! Pitifully weak!
[04:57] Vol
    Couldn't you make this
    a little more fun for us?
[04:59] Vol
    It's our first time fighting
    while possessed, after all.
[05:05] Far
    Their power is too great for us to overcome.
[05:07] Vol
    We, Lord Amis's chosen, are indeed superior!
[05:15] Cas
    Reda.
[05:16] Cas
    We haven't forgotten
    that pathetic display of yours.
[05:20] Vol
    Just stand back there
    and watch us finish them.
[05:25] Reda
    Do as you like.
[05:27] Reda
    But...
[05:28] Reda
    You shouldn't get distracted
    until you've won for sure.
[05:34] Vol
    Clever brat...
[05:41] Cas
    Fool!
[05:50] Cas
    Damn you!
[05:58] Vol
    How dare you... treat me this way!
[06:03] Vol
    All of you, begone!
[06:10] Cas
    Wait—
[06:13] Cas
    Volux... You bastard!
[06:17] Nemo
    I knew it.
[06:18] Shir
    They're not working together at all.
[06:21] Far
    That means, regardless of how
     strong they are, this isn't hopeless.
[06:31] Jou
    Listen up, guys! Remember
    that you're not fighting alone!
[06:35] Gil
    We can all work together!
[06:38] Gil
    Let someone else have your back!
[06:40] Gil
    And I'll need your help too, Spike!
[06:47] Gil
    Hang in there just a little longer...
[06:51] Gil
    Jive!
[06:56] Vol
    Reda! Do something already!
[07:00] Reda
    I thought you didn't need my help.
[07:03] Vol
    Shut up!
[07:04] Vol
    You think now is the time for your—
[07:10] Reda
    Wh-What is this?
[07:13] Cas
    My possession...
[07:15] Cas
    Why... can't I... control it anymore?!
[07:23] Nemo
    This is...
[07:24] Far
    They were likely keeping
    the possession in control
[07:28] Far
    via the total subjugation of their heroes.
[07:30] Far
    It wasn't something they
    could keep up forever.
[07:34] Vol
    No! This isn't what he said!
[07:37] Vol
    Why is this happening to us?!
[07:41] Far
    There's likely also more to it.
[07:44] Nemo
    The heroes were resisting them.
[07:47] Nemo
    They didn't want to be treated like tools.
[07:50] ---
    Right.
[07:51] Vol
    Why?
[07:52] Vol
    Heroes are meant to be used!
    How can they defy us?!
[07:57] Cas
    This is nonsense!
[07:59] Cas
    Heroes are just the remnants
    of old power clinging to this world!
[08:04] Red
    They're merely a power to be exploited...
[08:07] Red
    That's what Lord Amis taught us.
[08:10] Nemo
    You're wrong. That's not true.
[08:13] Reda
    What do you mean?
[08:14] Nemo
    I didn't understand at first.
[08:17] Nemo
    But our heroes talk to us!
[08:21] Nemo
    We need to be willing to listen to them!
[08:25] Reda
    Listen to them?
[08:27] Nemo
    Don't be afraid. Open your heart!
[08:31] Cas
    Don't be fooled, Reda!
[08:34] Shir
    Even after all this,
    you still want to test your luck?
[08:36] Cas
    Don't be stupid!
[08:38] Cas
    We were chosen by Lord Amis.
[08:41] Cas
    Even if our bodies are brought low,
[08:44] Cas
    we'll send you to the God of Destruction!
[08:47] Vol
    Don't be absurd!
[08:50] Cas
    Show your loyalty to Lord Amis!
[08:55] Shir
    I won't let you lay a finger on him!
[09:00] Cas
    You... You're...
[09:05] Shir
    Yes.
[09:06] Shir
    And it's because I'm no normal human
[09:10] Shir
    that I'll protect those who've accepted me!
[09:13] Shir
    Nemo!
[09:16] Shir
    Kaiser Phoenix!
[09:23] Cas
    I beg your forgiveness, Lord Amis!
[09:30] Vol
    Damn! This is insane!
[09:33] Vol
    No... No, I don't want this!
[09:39] Far
    You're not human?
[09:41] Shir
    I'll explain later.
[09:44] Shir
    For now...
[09:46] Shir
    We have one left to deal with.
[09:48] Shir
    You appear to have avoided a loss of control.
[09:52] Shir
    But what do you plan to do now?
[09:55] Reda
    Nemo, was it?
[10:16] Gar
    This is unending!
[10:17] Gar
    But to ensure Claire didn't die
     in vain, I must...
[10:26] Gar
    Sophitia!
[10:28] Gar
    What are you doing here?
[10:29] Sof
    I'll explain later.
[10:31] Sof
    For now, let's get you out of here!
[10:33] Gar
    Understood!
[10:35] Reda
    Nemo...
[10:37] Shir
    Do you not realize the position you're in?
[10:41] Shir
    Sorry, but with the three of us—
[10:43] Nemo
    Wait.
[10:45] Nemo
    Would the two of you head
    into the temple without me?
[10:49] Shir
    Wait, are you serious?
[10:52] Nemo
    I'll be fine.
[10:56] Nemo
    Leave this to me.
[11:02] Far
    Very well.
[11:03] Shir
    President!
[11:05] Far
    I'll grant that we must stop
    Physis's plan as soon as possible.
[11:12] Far
    But... I won't forgive you if you die.
[11:17] Nemo
    Yeah. Thanks.
[11:20] Shir
    Very well.
[11:23] Shir
    You'd better catch up later, Nemo.
[11:29] Reda
    You're sure about this?
[11:32] Nemo
    After all... you and I are like siblings.
[11:38] Reda
    So you really are...
[11:43] Reda
    Then tell me.
[11:46] Reda
    Why did you betray us?
[11:49] Reda
    You were a chosen one,
[11:51] Reda
    just like us...
[11:55] Reda
    Why did you cast that aside?!
[11:59] Nemo
    Because I made my own decision!
[12:01] Nemo
    I chose a new life!
[12:04] Reda
    You really think we're allowed to do that?
[12:10] Reda
    We were made to be this way!
[12:12] Nemo
    What do you think, Reda?
[12:16] Reda
    I...
[12:20] Shir
    I hope he'll be all right by himself.
[12:23] Far
    I'm sure he has a plan in mind.
[12:26] Far
    And we have bigger things to worry about.
[12:30] Shir
    Amis Germain?
[12:32] Far
    Yes...
[12:33] Far
    And stopping his plan
    to destroy the silver hourglasses.
[12:38] Shir
    It was their job to take
    the ritual site, correct?
[12:43] Far
    Jou and Gildan, yes.
[12:45] Shir
    I'm worried about them, but...
[12:48] Far
    Let us trust in our fellow Seven Knights.
[12:53] Far
    And in the key to our victory...
[12:56] Far
    I'm counting on you, Ellen.
[13:12] Reda
    You're not bad.
[13:13] Nemo
    If I've grown stronger,
[13:16] Nemo
    it's because of the others!
[13:19] Reda
    That so-called team of yours?
[13:22] Reda
    A concept foreign
    to artificial successors like us.
[13:27] Reda
    "Think of your hero's power—and each other—
    as nothing more than tools."
[13:33] Reda
    That is what Lord Amis taught us.
[13:37] Nemo
    Do you still feel that way?
[13:39] Red
    I...
[13:41] Red
    I admit I've had my doubts.
[13:44] Red
    But if I give in to them...
[13:48] Red
    I'll be denying everything I am!
    Everything I've ever been!
[13:57] Red
    It's too late!
[14:01] Red
    I can't call on my hero's power...
[14:04] Nemo
    It's true that you can't change the past.
[14:07] Nemo
    But...
[14:08] Nemo
    There's no reason you can't
    change how you live!
[14:12] Reda
    Even for those of us...
[14:15] Reda
    who aren't human?
[14:16] Nemo
    That's right!
[14:26] Reda
    I can't move.
[14:29] Reda
    He's going to strike me... to kill me.
[14:32] Reda
    Is this the end...
[14:34] Reda
    to a life that was never real?
[14:37] Ir
    No. You want to live.
[14:40] Ir
    Am I wrong?
[14:42] Reda
    This voice...
[14:44] Ir
    If you wish to live, then fight!
[14:47] Ir
    I acknowledge your will!
[14:52] Ir
    I, Immortal Empress Irene!
[15:01] Ir
    What is this?
[15:04] Nemo
    You heard the voice of your hero, didn't you?
[15:10] Nemo
    I didn't understand at first, either.
[15:12] Nemo
    But if you try to listen,
    they'll respond to your will.
[15:19] Nemo
    I think that's why you didn't lose control.
[15:26] Reda
    I must find out
[15:30] Reda
    what Lord Amis truly wants.
[15:34] Reda
    Why did he create us?
[15:36] Reda
    Why is he making us fight?
[15:40] Nemo
    Very well.
[15:46] Nemo
    Let's go. Together.
[15:51] Reda
    You're a kind person, aren't you?
[15:54] Nemo
    No, certainly not.
[15:57] Red
    I wonder about that.
[16:02] Nemo
    Because I'm not like you.
[16:06] Nemo
    I'm a terrible liar.
[16:15] Vol
    Lord Amis! S-Save me!
[16:19] Vol
    I thought we weren't
    supposed to lose control.
[16:22] Vol
    I'm going to die like this,
    just like Castres!
[16:27] Vol
    I don't want to! This isn't what I want!
[16:32] Ger
    Then why didn't you die?
[16:38] Vol
    What?
[16:39] Vol
    You ordered us to fight!
[16:43] Ger
    I did.
[16:44] Ger
    And the survivor would be
    the true Son of Destruction.
[16:50] Ger
    That is what was prophesied to me.
[16:54] Ger
    But it appears that was none of you three.
[17:00] Vol
    Wh-What do you...
[17:03] Ger
    The chosen one,
[17:06] Ger
    the true Son of Destruction...
[17:08] Ger
    shall arrive here soon.
[17:11] Ger
    What a truly auspicious occasion!
[17:14] Vol
    Lord Amis...
[17:16] Vol
    What are you saying?
[17:18] Ger
    There are two things I never told you.
[17:24] Ger
    The first is that you can only resist
[17:28] Ger
    the loss of control in possession
    for a very short time.
[17:36] Ger
    The second...
[17:39] Ger
    is that I have nothing
    but contempt for you.
[17:52] Vol
    Why...
[17:56] Ger
    You are artificial creatures.
[17:59] Ger
    Artificial heroes, worthy of scorn.
[18:03] Ger
    Tools that are easily disposed of.
[18:06] Ger
    There is only one true hero
    in the world right now.
[18:11] Ger
    Me!
[18:21] Ger
    Yes. Indeed.
[18:24] Ger
    As you command.
[18:33] Far
    Is this the place?
[18:41] Shir
    Amis Germain!
[18:42] Far
    We've come to put a stop to your plans!
[18:47] Ger
    Rejoice!
[18:50] Ger
    I've just received divine word!
[18:53] Far
    Divine word?
[18:57] Shir
    Is that...
[19:00] Shir
    You killed one of your own?
[19:02] Ger
    You too shall be sacrifices...
[19:08] Ger
    Sacrifices to bring the true
    Son of Destruction into this world.
[19:21] Gar
    This can't be.
[19:23] Soph
    And yet it is.
[19:27] Gar
    We've been under a fatal misapprehension.
[19:34] Gar
    Which means he's...
[19:39] Gar
    Nemo is...
[21:14] Far
    Amis Germain.
[21:15] Far
    You used to be an important
    man in the empire.
[21:18] Far
    Why are you doing this?
[21:19] Amis
    It was my lofty position
[21:21] Amis
    that taught me the intolerable
    corruption of this world.
[21:25] Amis
    We must dissolve the existing state
[21:28] Amis
    and put a leader in place
    to build an ideal society...
[21:32] Amis
    A new hero!
[21:35] Shir
    What a terribly simplistic idea.
[21:38] Shir
    I take it you would be that leader, then?
[21:40] Amis
    The Seven Knights...
[21:41] Amis
    Running dogs of a bygone era.
[21:44] Amis
    I shall now deliver your divine punishment
[21:47] Amis
    in the name of the great Nestra!
[21:51] Far
    Incoming!
[21:53] Ami
    Hunt them down, Blades of Destruction!
[22:01] Far
    Lightning!
[22:07] Shir
    Did we do it?
[22:09] Far
    No, the leader of Physis
    wouldn't be undone so easily!
[22:16] Shir
    He's unharmed?
[22:17] Far
    This is terrible!
[22:18] Far
    He's not even possessed like
    those three from before...
[22:22] Am
    My body is eternal and invincible.
[22:25] Am
    Your powers, borrowed from others,
    are like the toys of children!
[22:30] Shir
    You're bluffing.
[22:31] Shir
    No one is eternal!
[22:48] Shir
    Got you!
[22:50] Am
    As I told you, I'm invincible.
[23:01] Far
    Is that...
[23:09] Far
    Shirley!
[23:10] Far
    Was that... time manipulation?
[23:14] Amis
    Indeed it was.
[23:15] Amis
    The power of the silver hourglasses...
[23:18] Amis
    The power to control time!
[23:25] Ell
    Goodness! Would this be
    the final confrontation?
[23:27] Shir
    If we strike down Physis's leader,
     the battle will be over.
[23:30] Far
    We cannot allow another tragedy.
[23:34] Far
    Next time: "End Times."
