[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.
