Pierce them, Dark General!
**[00:21] Luca**
So that's it.

**[02:35] Vivian**
You ain't got a chance!
**[02:40] Vanessa**
There's no way you'll win!
***SIGN*** Path to the Void
**[02:47] Vanessa**
The Joubert Sisters are invincible!
**[02:50] Vivian**
You never had a chance from the start.
**[02:54] _Both**
Appear, Path to the Void!
**[03:03] Kai**
Wh-What just happened?
**[03:05] Vanessa**
When my graveyard contains at least 15 cards,
**[03:09] Vanessa**
Path to the Void reveals its true power!
**[03:15] Vanessa**
First, when my turn ends,
it does 5 damage to all enemy followers.
**[03:28] Vivian**
It also summons Shadow Assault!
**[03:32] ---**
What is that guy?
**[03:34] Vivian**
This guy can't attack enemy followers,
**[03:37] Vivian**
but he can attack the enemy leader,
no matter their defense.
**[03:41] Vivian**
Okay, little miss idol,
it's time for a dose of reality!
**[03:46] Alice**
It's my turn. Draw!
**[03:49] Alice**
You who appear from the depths
of the underworld.
**[03:51] Alice**
Your name is...
**[03:53] Alice**
Skeleton Raider!
**[03:55] Alice**
Skeleton Raider's Necromancy ability activates
**[03:59] Alice**
and destroys two enemy followers.
**[04:03] Alice**
It also does 1 damage
to all remaining enemy followers.
**[04:07] Alice**
Then, it does damage to the enemy leader
equal to the number
**[04:11] Alice**
of followers its ability destroyed.
**[04:16] Vivian**
I see how it is.
**[04:18] Alice**
Finally, it uses Storm
to attack the enemy leader!
**[04:24] Vivian**
That's not gonna do it.
**[04:26] Vivian**
The Joubert Sisters are invincible!
**[04:30] Vivian**
I've already told you, little miss idol.
**[04:34] Vivian**
You aren't taking it serious enough.
**[04:37] Vivian**
Are you an idol or a Shadowverse player?
**[04:40] Alice**
I-I'm...
**[04:42] Vivian**
Just who are you?
**[04:45] Vivian**
Let's have an answer.
**[04:47] Vivian**
Just who are you?
**[04:50] Vivian**
Are you...
**[04:53] Vivian**
an idol?
**[04:55] Vivian**
Or a Shadowverse player?
**[04:57] Vivian**
Which is it?
**[04:59] Vivian**
Just who are you?
**[05:04] Vivian**
Are you...
**[05:06] Vivian**
an idol?
**[05:08] Vivian**
Or a Shadowverse player?
**[05:10] Vivian**
Just who are you?
**[05:17] Alice**
I'm...
**[05:23] Hiro**
Which way?
**[05:24] Marguerite**
* Go left for the shortest route*
* to the Tree of Woe.*
**[05:28] Hiro**
Hey, how are the others?
**[05:32] Marguerite**
*The plan is progressing as expected.*
**[05:37] Marguerite**
* Currently, you, Luca Yonazuki, and Mauro Abelard*
* have retrieved your respective legendary cards.*
**[05:44] Marguerite**
* Kai Ijuin and Alice Kurobane have reached*
* their respective ruins.*
**[05:48] Hiro**
I-I see.
**[05:50] Marguerite**
*However...*
**[05:51] Hiro**
"However" what?
**[05:52] Marguerite**
* We are seeing strange readings*
* coming from the Swordcraft and Forestcraft ruins.*
**[05:57] Hiro**
Now you tell me?!
**[05:58] Marguerite**
* The Swordcraft ruin in particular*
* is showing two Shadow signals.*
**[06:03] Marguerite**
*Where are you going?*
**[06:04] Hiro**
You know where I'm going!
**[06:05] Hiro**
I'm going to help Kazuki and Mimori!
**[06:08] Kai**
I play the one who can overcome many forms
of magic: Daria, Dimensional Witch!
**[06:17] Kai**
Daria's ability allows me to draw cards
until I have five in my hand...
**[06:21] Kai**
and boosts all Spell Cards five-fold.
***SIGN*** Fiery Embrace
**[06:27] Kai**
What do you think
of her overwhelming ability?
**[06:30] Vanessa**
It's nothing of the sort.
**[06:33] Vanessa**
You don't like wasting time, right?
**[06:36] Vanessa**
So why would you waste
your time doing that?
**[06:40] Kai**
Because I can't afford to lose.
**[06:42] Vanessa**
Why?
**[06:44] Kai**
Because the worldー
**[06:46] Vanessa**
Why?
**[06:47] Vanessa**
So you can save the world?
**[06:50] Vanessa**
Do you hear yourself?
**[06:53] Vanessa**
What do you know of it? Of this world?
**[06:58] Vanessa**
The world is not nearly as beautiful
as you seem to think.
**[07:02] Vanessa**
It's not worth saving!
**[07:05] Vanessa**
Mordecai the Duelist,
**[07:06] Vanessa**
along with Shadow Assault and Nephthys,
attack your leader!
**[07:14] Vanessa**
The pain will be over soon.
**[07:19] Vanessa**
And another Shadow Assault enters the field.
**[07:28] Vanessa**
Why not fold?
**[07:30] Kai**
No, I still have a chance at a comeback!
**[07:35] Vanessa**
Very well. It's your turn.
**[07:37] Vanessa**
Draw a card.
**[07:39] Kai**
I know that!
**[07:41] int_Kai**
*I can do this.*
**[07:42] int_Kai**
*I've calculated it.*
**[07:44] Kai**
Draw!
**[07:46] Kai**
According to my calculations, this card...
**[07:49] int_Kai**
*No, this...*
**[07:51] Vanessa**
Oh, my. What's the matter?
**[07:54] Kai**
My calculations were so perfect
I've even impressed myself.
**[07:59] Vanessa**
Oh, I'm trembling.
**[08:02] int_Kai**
*Calculate... I need to calculate.*
**[08:05] int_Kai**
*I need a way to use this card to win.*
**[08:09] int_Kai**
*If I don't find one...*
**[08:11] Vanessa**
What happened to that comeback
you were talking about?
**[08:15] int_Kai**
*No, how can I calculate...*
**[08:20] Vanessa**
This is such fun.
**[08:21] Vanessa**
With just one mistake in your calculations,
you can't come up with any more answers.
**[08:26] Vanessa**
You won't be able to beat me.
**[08:29] Vanessa**
Absolutely not.
**[08:31] int_Kai**
*Absolutely?*
**[08:34] (Flashback) fb_Alice**
I don't think there's anything
in this world that's absolute.
**[08:39] (Flashback) fb_Kai**
In the world of math,
there are absolute answers.
**[08:44] Vanessa**
I compliment you
for lasting so long, at least.
**[08:48] Vanessa**
Why don't I give you a chance
as a consolation prize?
**[08:51] Vanessa**
If you accept your defeat now...
**[08:55] Vanessa**
What?
**[08:57] Kai**
Three.
**[08:58] Vanessa**
"Three" what?
**[08:59] Kai**
That I accept.
**[09:03] Vanessa**
So you're accepting your defeatー
**[09:05] Kai**
I made three errors.
**[09:09] Kai**
First, this is not a world of math.
Therefore, nothing is absolute.
**[09:17] Vanessa**
So what?
**[09:18] Kai**
The second error was saying
that I was battling to save the world.
**[09:22] Vanessa**
Then whyー
**[09:23] Kai**
And the third was leaving her
and coming here alone.
**[09:29] Kai**
I was thinking like an ordinary person
instead of a genius.
**[09:34] Kai**
But I will return to being
a genius among geniuses
**[09:38] Kai**
and perfectly correct for those errors!
***SIGN*** Sorcery Cache Petrification
**[09:41] Kai**
I battle for my friends!
***SIGN*** Sorcery Cache Petrification Secrets of Erasmus
***SIGN*** Petrification Secrets of Erasmus
***SIGN*** Secrets of Erasmus Fiery Embrace
***SIGN*** Secrets of Erasmus Fiery Embrace Wind Blast
***SIGN*** Fiery Embrace Wind Blast
***SIGN*** Fiery Embrace Wind Blast Insight
***SIGN*** Wind Blast Insight
**[09:43] Kai**
I will defeat you and go to help them!
**[09:47] Kai**
I play Insight.
**[09:52] Kai**
I draw a card.
**[09:54] Vanessa**
What about those calculations
and probabilities you're so proud of?
**[09:58] Vanessa**
You seem to be grasping at straws.
**[10:00] Vanessa**
It's pathetic.
**[10:01] Kai**
I don't need probability
or calculations to win this.
**[10:04] Kai**
All I need is the power of my heart
**[10:08] Kai**
and the miracle it can bring!
**[10:11] Vanessa**
Even more nonsense!
**[10:16] Vivian**
Just give up, little miss idol.
**[10:19] Vivian**
I play Orcus.
**[10:22] Vivian**
Orcus's Necromancy ability restores
4 of the leader's defense.
**[10:28] Vivian**
Path to the Void's effect activates.
**[10:32] Vivian**
As an idol and in Shadowverse,
**[10:34] Vivian**
everything you've done
has been half-hearted and meaningless!
**[10:40] int_Alice**
*"Half-hearted...*
**[10:43] int_Alice**
*and meaningless"?*
**[10:45] Vivian**
Another Shadow Assault enters the field.
**[10:47] Vivian**
So what will you do now, little miss idol?
**[10:57] (Flashback) fb_Alice**
I don't like these.
**[10:59] (Flashback) fb_Alice**
My smile is weird.
**[11:01] (Flashback) fb_Alice**
And they're meaningless.
**[11:02] (Flashback) fb_Kai**
They have meaning.
**[11:05] Alice**
I didn't like being an idol.
**[11:07] Alice**
Having to do what the grown-ups say...
**[11:10] Alice**
Always being alone...
**[11:12] Alice**
So, I've held back my feelings,
so that no one can tell.
**[11:19] Alice**
What are you muttering about?
**[11:21] Alice**
I loved Shadowverse.
**[11:23] Alice**
But the grown-ups chose
which cards I would use,
**[11:26] Alice**
and I had to go along with it.
**[11:29] Alice**
Winning and losing didn't matter,
because they weren't battles I chose to have.
**[11:34] Alice**
There was Alice the idol
and Alice who played Shadowverse.
**[11:40] Alice**
But both of them were...
**[11:42] Alice**
half-hearted.
**[11:46] Vivian**
There it is! You finally admitted it!
**[11:49] Vivian**
You half-hearted idolー
***SIGN*** But
**[11:50] Alice**
But...
**[11:51] (Flashback) fb_Kai**
You're a strange sort of person.
You maintain two versions of yourself
**[11:55] (Flashback) fb_Kai**
and manage to make both of them work
to your advantage, instead of against you.
**[12:00] Alice**
But someone told me...
**[12:02] Alice**
I'm not half-hearted. That I use both
to my advantage instead of against myself.
**[12:07] Vivian**
What is all that nonsense you're muttering?!
**[12:14] Alice**
I knew.
**[12:16] Alice**
As an idol, I can make everyone smile.
**[12:20] (Flashback) fb_Mimori**
When I first saw you,
I thought you were amazing!
**[12:23] (Flashback) fb_Mimori**
I wanted to be like you!
**[12:25] Alice**
Since I'm an idol,
people want to be like me.
**[12:28] (Flashback) fb_Hiro**
You like Shadowverse, right?
**[12:31] (Flashback) fb_Hiro**
Let's play for real, Alice!
**[12:34] (Flashback) fb_Hiro**
That's Shadowverse!
**[12:35] Alice**
Battling in Shadowverse
helped me make friends.
**[12:38] Alice**
So to me, being an idol and
playing Shadowverse are both important!
**[12:44] Alice**
I love them both!
**[12:49] Vivian**
You love them both?
**[12:51] Vivian**
You're really ticking me off!
**[12:53] Vivian**
That's just a half-hearted answer!
**[12:56] Alice**
No, it's not.
**[12:57] Alice**
That's the full extent
of my feelings, times two!
**[13:00] Vivian**
What?
**[13:02] Alice**
I'm a serious idol
and a serious Shadowverse player.
**[13:06] Alice**
That's who I am, Alice Kurobane.
**[13:09] Vivian**
That's easy enough to say!
***SIGN*** Necroassassin
***SIGN*** Insight
**[13:30] Alice**
The stone tablet...
**[13:32] Vivian**
Why is it shining like that?
**[13:41] Luna**
Hi.
**[13:45] Luna**
If you'd like...
**[13:53] Luna**
I'll entrust you with my legend.
**[14:03] Alice**
Is that...
**[14:04] Alice**
the legendary card?
**[14:14] Vivian**
What? What just happened?
**[14:17] Alice**
I think I just gained a fan.
**[14:19] Vivian**
Huh?
**[14:21] Alice**
I hope you're ready, Big Sister.
**[14:23] Alice**
This idol's about to save the world.
**[14:28] Alice**
You are the ruler of souls,
the eternal keeper.
**[14:30] Alice**
I put my whole self into you!
**[14:35] Alice**
Dead Soul Taker!
**[14:41] Vivian**
You think that will beat me?
**[14:43] Alice**
Dead Soul Taker's Necromancy ability activates.
**[14:50] Alice**
All my followers destroyed in this battle
return to the field.
**[14:54] ---**
What?
**[14:55] Alice**
Skeleton Raider has Storm
and attacks your leader.
**[15:01] Alice**
I end my turn.
**[15:03] Vivian**
Why you...
**[15:06] Vivian**
Evolve, now!
**[15:08] Vivian**
Shadow Assault!
**[15:10] Vivian**
Now all my followers attack your leader!
**[15:17] Vivian**
You're through!
**[15:19] Vivian**
Through! Through! Through!
**[15:27] Vivian**
I end my turn.
**[15:38] Vivian**
What's that look in your eye?
**[15:40] Vivian**
A half-hearted brat like you
can't do anything!
**[15:50] Isabelle**
I entrust my legend to you.
**[15:54] Kai**
The rest is up to me.
**[15:59] int_Isabelle**
*In order to acquire your new power,*
**[16:01] int_Isabelle**
*call out its name!*
**[16:03] Vanessa**
That light...
**[16:05] Vanessa**
Don't tell me...
**[16:06] Kai**
Insight's effect allows me to draw a card.
***SIGN*** Wind Blast
***SIGN*** Sevens Force Sorcerer
**[16:11] Kai**
Come forth, one who has mastered
all seven forms of knowledge!
**[16:16] Kai**
Sevens Force Sorcerer!
**[16:23] Vanessa**
So this is the legendary card?
**[16:25] Vanessa**
But one more follower
won't change the inevitableー
**[16:30] Kai**
Sevens Force Sorcerer, evolve!
**[16:38] Kai**
His on-evolve effect activates.
***SIGN*** Sorcery Cache Petrification Secrets of Erasmus
**[16:40] Kai**
All spells in my hand with cost 3 or lower
have their cost reduced to 0.
***SIGN*** Sorcery Cache Petrification Secrets of Erasmus Fiery Embrace
***SIGN*** Petrification Secrets of Erasmus Fiery Embrace Wind Blast
**[16:45] Kai**
First, Sorcery Cache!
**[16:48] Kai**
It boosts a spell in my hand twice,
and I can draw a card.
**[16:54] Kai**
The spell card Commence Experiment places
an Earth Sigil on the field.
**[16:58] Kai**
Petrification!
**[17:00] Kai**
Earth Rite annihilates an enemy follower.
**[17:07] Kai**
Now, three more.
**[17:09] Kai**
Secrets of Erasmus!
**[17:10] Kai**
Wind Blast!
**[17:12] Kai**
Fiery Embrace!
**[17:20] Kai**
All your followers have been destroyed.
**[17:25] Vanessa**
It's still too late.
**[17:27] Vanessa**
No matter how many followers you destroy,
**[17:30] Vanessa**
I still have Path to the Void in play!
**[17:35] Vanessa**
You are nearly out of defense.
**[17:39] Vanessa**
You won't be able to continue the battle.
**[17:42] Kai**
You have a point.
**[17:46] Vanessa**
I admire that you've made it last this long!
**[17:48] Vanessa**
But unfortunately for you,
the Joubert Sisters are invincibleー
**[17:52] Kai**
But that's only if you get another turn.
**[17:57] Vanessa**
What do you mean?
**[17:59] Kai**
The previously sealed legendary card...
**[18:01] Alice**
...will now reveal its power!
**[18:04] Kai**
Sevens Force Sorcerer...
**[18:06] Alice**
Dead Soul Taker...
**[18:07] _Both**
Activate your ability!
**[18:10] Alice**
If a follower was destroyed
during my opponent's turn,
**[18:14] Alice**
that follower and one with the same name
are placed on the field.
**[18:17] Alice**
Revive, my cards!
**[18:20] Vivian**
I-Impossible!
**[18:22] Alice**
Now it's my turn!
**[18:25] Kai**
When I've played seven
or more spell cards in a turn,
**[18:29] Kai**
he does 20 damage to the enemy leader!
**[18:34] Vanessa**
Wh-What?
**[18:36] _Both**
Go!
**[19:06] Marguerite**
*Congratulations.*
**[19:07] Marguerite**
*Now please head to the Tree of Woe.*
**[19:11] Marguerite**
*I'm sending the most efficient route.*
**[19:13] Kai**
No, that won't be necessary.
**[19:16] Kai**
There is something I must do first.
**[19:22] int_Luca**
*What is this?*
**[19:24] int_Luca**
*Why can't I use it?*
**[19:25] int_Luca**
*Does this mean it hasn't accepted me?*
**[19:32] Luca**
Shiori!
**[19:35] Luca**
Shiori!
**[19:45] Luca**
Shiori...
**[19:47] Luca**
I hope she's been evacuated safely.
**[19:50] Shiori**
Brother.
**[19:54] Luca**
Shiori!
**[19:56] Shiori**
Brother.
**[19:58] Luca**
Shiori, is that you?
**[20:04] Kai**
Alice Kurobane!
**[20:06] Alice**
Big Brother Kai?
**[20:07] Kai**
Are you okay?
**[20:10] Alice**
Yep!
**[20:15] Alice**
Way to go!
**[20:17] Alice**
But aren't you wasting time
taking this route?
**[20:21] Kai**
Sort of.
**[20:23] Kai**
According to my calculations,
this route is not the most efficient.
**[20:27] Alice**
I guessed so.
**[20:28] Alice**
So why are you here?
**[20:31] Alice**
Oh, did you come to help me?
**[20:35] Alice**
You're so nice, Big Brother Kai.
**[20:41] Kai**
Here, you dropped this.
**[20:47] Kai**
I actually did come to help you.
**[20:49] Alice**
Why?
**[20:51] Kai**
Because I've come to understand
**[20:53] Kai**
that in this world without absolutes,
**[20:55] Kai**
friends are more important
than efficiency or calculations.
**[21:01] Alice**
I can't say I get what you're saying.
**[21:04] Kai**
I see.
**[21:06] Alice**
But I feel the same way.
**[21:09] Kai**
Did you say something?
**[21:11] Alice**
Yep, I did, but I won't tell you.
**[21:15] Kai**
That's fine.
**[21:16] Kai**
I'm fine not knowing.
**[21:19] Alice**
Well, maybe I'll tell you
one thing, Big Brother Kai.
**[21:23] Kai**
What?
**[21:24] Alice**
A genius among geniuses isn't that cool.
**[21:32] Alice**
Oh, are you mad? Did I make you mad?
**[21:35] Kai**
I'm not mad.
**[21:36] Alice**
You're lying. I can see that you are!
**[21:39] Kai**
No, I'm not.
Now let's get to the Tree of Woe.
**[21:43] Alice**
Just look!
Your tone and your eyes say you're mad.
**[21:45] Kai**
I swear, I feel as if I'm talking
to a horse!
**[21:49] Alice**
I love horses!
**[23:24] _All**
