**[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."
**[23:35] Sign**
Conclusion -End Times-
**[23:36] Nemo**
Every action has a consequence.
