Alice's Truth
**[00:07] ---**
Where am I?
**[00:14] ---**
Alice?
**[00:21] ---**
How'd I end up like this?
**[00:27] (Flashback) ---**
I don't know if I can choose!
**[00:29] (Flashback) ---**
Freedom is the best!
**[00:39] (Flashback) ---**
What is this?
**[00:40] (Flashback) ---**
Awaken.
**[00:45] (Flashback) ---**
Nobody's here?
**[00:49] (Flashback) ---**
Alice.
**[00:54] (Flashback) ---**
You need to wake up now.
**[01:00] ---**
Am I just tired?
**[01:03] ---**
It doesn't feel like a dream.
**[01:06] ---**
And it was my first day off
in such a long time.
**[01:10] ---**
What am I saying?
**[01:20] ---**
I'm so bored of walking by myself!
**[01:22] ---**
Is anybody here?
**[01:30] ---**
That's strange.
**[01:38] ---**
That's a house, right?
**[01:41] ---**
Yes! Somebody might be there!
**[01:53] ---**
Well, it's certainly not
in the best shape.
**[02:03] ---**
Um... hello?
**[02:09] ---**
Nobody's home?
**[02:14] ---**
That means it's okay to come in, right?
**[02:17] ---**
Hello?
**[02:25] ---**
What? Is this a hidden camera show?
**[02:29] ---**
Wait!
**[02:40] ---**
So that's the deal.
**[02:54] ---**
This is so easy!
**[03:01] ---**
So cute!
**[03:09] ---**
I don't know why,
but I think I like this place!
**[03:21] ---**
Th-That was close.
**[03:24] ---**
Why did you come inside?
**[03:28] ---**
Who are you?
**[03:30] ---**
Leave!
**[03:32] ---**
This is my house!
**[03:36] ---**
Are you alone?
**[03:38] ---**
Where are your mom and dad?
**[03:41] ---**
I'd like to talk to them.
**[03:45] ---**
Dad... Mom...
**[03:48] ---**
Right. Where are they?
**[03:50] ---**
Where?
**[03:54] ---**
Are they out?
**[03:56] ---**
Where are you?
**[03:57] ---**
Where are you? Mom? Dad!
**[04:01] ---**
Where are you?!
**[04:10] ---**
Mom! Dad!
**[04:12] ---**
I'm lonely. I'm so lonely!
**[04:16] ---**
This is...
**[04:18] ---**
Battle her.
**[04:20] ---**
It will save you and her.
**[04:23] ---**
What do you mean?
**[04:25] ---**
You'll be released from the emptiness!
**[04:28] ---**
I don't get it at all!
**[04:31] ---**
Mom... Dad...
**[04:35] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[04:36] ---**
I like Shadowverse!
**[04:38] ---**
So I'll do my best!
**[04:40] ---**
Battle! Shadowverse!
**[04:55] ---**
Okay, my turn! Draw!
**[04:58] ---**
Okay, I'll start with him!
**[05:01] ---**
I play Skull Beast!
**[05:05] ---**
It's so strange!
**[05:06] ---**
Why am I playing Shadowverse
with a girl I just met?
**[05:11] ---**
Huh? Do I know you?
**[05:14] ---**
No. I don't know you.
**[05:18] ---**
So I don't like you!
**[05:20] ---**
My turn!
**[05:22] ---**
I play the spell card Allure of Shadows.
**[05:25] ---**
I put five cards from my deck
into my graveyard.
**[05:32] ---**
So you're a Shadowcraft player, too?
**[05:34] ---**
Hey, hey!
What kinds of cards do you like?
**[05:37] ---**
I end my turn.
**[05:40] ---**
I guess you don't like me.
**[05:42] ---**
Well, whatever.
**[05:43] ---**
My turn!
**[05:46] ---**
Him, maybe?
**[05:52] ---**
I play Zombeagle!
**[05:53] ---**
And attack your leader with Skull Beast!
**[06:00] ---**
My turn.
**[06:03] ---**
Spell Card: Undying Phantasm.
**[06:06] ---**
It does 3 damage to an enemy follower.
**[06:13] ---**
Zombeagle's Last Words
bring it back to my hand.
**[06:16] ---**
Undying Phantasm's Necromancy
effect activates.
**[06:19] ---**
With 4 Necromancy, I draw a card.
**[06:22] ---**
I get it! That's why you were
filling your graveyard.
**[06:25] ---**
Nice.
**[06:27] ---**
Huh? Am I being ignored?
**[06:29] ---**
I end my turn!
**[06:31] ---**
I'm sad 'cause I'm not used to that!
**[06:35] ---**
Why am I not used to that?
**[06:38] ---**
I don't know!
**[06:40] ---**
Well, of course.
**[06:42] ---**
Whatever.
**[06:43] ---**
For now, time to have fun in this battle.
**[06:49] ---**
I play a Zombie and end my turn.
**[06:53] ---**
Shadowverse's great, right?
**[06:56] ---**
You like it too, right?
**[06:58] ---**
And since we're battling, let's be friends!
**[07:04] ---**
Friends?
**[07:05] ---**
Yup! Friends!
**[07:08] ---**
Well, you know...
**[07:09] ---**
I don't know if I have a lot of friends.
**[07:12] ---**
So if we battle, we're friends!
**[07:15] ---**
Okay?
**[07:17] ---**
I don't understand. But, okay.
**[07:20] ---**
I can be your friend.
**[07:23] ---**
You'll be my living friend.
**[07:25] ---**
I play Soul Occultist.
**[07:29] ---**
Her effect activates.
**[07:32] ---**
I play random followers from my deck
until the field is full.
**[07:37] ---**
And then remove all their
effects and destroy them.
**[07:41] ---**
A follower that fills the graveyard?
**[07:43] ---**
That's not all.
**[07:45] ---**
Evolve, Soul Occultist.
**[07:48] ---**
Her on-evolve effect activates
**[07:52] ---**
and causes all followers with a cost
of 2 or less destroyed this turn to be played.
**[07:59] ---**
No way! Three at a time?
**[08:02] ---**
I attack your Zombie
with Soul Occultist!
**[08:07] ---**
Is this fun?
**[08:08] ---**
Yep! Of course it's fun.
**[08:12] ---**
You're good.
**[08:14] ---**
Call me by name.
**[08:15] ---**
It's "Luna."
**[08:17] ---**
Okay, Luna!
**[08:19] ---**
I'm Alice! Alice Kurobane!
**[08:22] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[08:26] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:28] ---**
Now let's make this even more fun!
**[08:34] [SONG] ---**
Feathered Patroller
***SIGN*** Deadly Widow
**[08:42] ---**
My turn.
**[08:44] ---**
Eat them, Cruel Specter.
**[08:49] ---**
A follower with 0 attack?
**[08:52] ---**
Its defense is high, though.
**[08:53] ---**
Spell Card: Phantom Howl!
**[08:56] ---**
I attack your leader
with Ghosts that have Storm!
**[09:03] ---**
Cruel Specter's effect activates.
**[09:06] ---**
When a follower of mine attacks,
**[09:08] ---**
it does 1 damage
to a random enemy follower.
**[09:11] ---**
I attacked 4 times, so 4 damage!
**[09:15] ---**
I end my turn.
**[09:16] ---**
The Ghosts are destroyed
due to their effects.
**[09:19] ---**
Are you scared?
**[09:20] ---**
Yup.
**[09:21] ---**
But more than that, I'm having fun!
**[09:24] ---**
That's a great combo!
**[09:26] ---**
Okay.
**[09:28] ---**
A living friend is amazing.
**[09:31] ---**
You have dead friends?
**[09:35] ---**
You're strange, Luna.
**[09:38] ---**
But it makes you unique, and I like that!
**[09:40] ---**
My turn.
**[09:43] ---**
5 defense...
**[09:45] ---**
I'd normally have to evolve
something to defeat it.
**[09:50] ---**
I know! If I use these two...
**[09:52] ---**
First, Zombeagle!
**[09:54] ---**
And then Necroassassin!
**[09:56] ---**
Necroassassin's effect activates!
**[10:00] ---**
She destroys one of my followers
and then one random enemy follower!
**[10:07] ---**
And then Zombeagle's Last Words
bring it back to my hand.
**[10:12] ---**
Which means...
**[10:13] ---**
I summon it again!
**[10:17] ---**
I did a combo, too!
**[10:19] ---**
What do you think?
**[10:20] ---**
It's amazing.
**[10:22] ---**
But mine's amazing as well.
**[10:24] ---**
Cruel Specter's Last Words activate.
**[10:27] ---**
It adds a Gentle Specter to my hand.
**[10:29] ---**
It added another follower to your hand?
**[10:32] ---**
My turn!
**[10:33] ---**
Gentle Specter! Deadly Widow!
**[10:37] ---**
Feathered Patroller!
**[10:39] ---**
Followers with Necromancy effects...
**[10:41] ---**
She's going to use her entire graveyard?
**[10:43] ---**
No. Gentle Specter's effect activates.
**[10:46] ---**
As long as this follower is in play,
**[10:48] ---**
my Necromancy becomes 0.
**[10:50] ---**
Deadly Widow's Necromancy effect
raises her attack and defense by 2.
**[10:55] ---**
Feathered Patroller's Necromancy effect
does 2 damage to an enemy follower.
**[11:03] ---**
I evolve Feathered Patroller!
**[11:07] ---**
And attack Necroassassin.
**[11:10] ---**
I end my turn.
**[11:12] ---**
Gentle Specter's effect activates
**[11:15] ---**
and restores its leader's defense by 5
at the end of the turn.
**[11:19] ---**
You recover, huh?
**[11:21] ---**
That's a bit of a problem.
**[11:23] ---**
Is it still fun?
**[11:25] ---**
Of course!
**[11:26] ---**
Why?
**[11:27] ---**
"Why," huh?
**[11:29] ---**
I don't understand.
**[11:31] ---**
Because I was always alone.
**[11:33] ---**
I've been here ever since Mom and Dad left.
**[11:37] ---**
They said it was because I do scary things.
**[11:40] ---**
I see.
**[11:41] ---**
So you're lonely.
**[11:44] ---**
You know, we may be alike.
**[11:48] ---**
I'm also...
**[11:49] (Flashback) ---**
Okay. Bye, Mom.
**[11:52] ---**
That's right, my mom is also...
**[11:56] ---**
So that's it.
I thought something was strange.
**[11:59] ---**
I'd just forgotten.
**[12:02] ---**
The reason I kind of liked you...
**[12:08] ---**
It was natural.
**[12:09] ---**
Because we're connected!
**[12:13] ---**
This place and the last world I was in...
**[12:15] ---**
They're all lies, aren't they?
**[12:18] ---**
Hey, Luna.
**[12:21] ---**
Luna, listen.
**[12:23] ---**
You asked me why I think
Shadowverse is fun, right?
**[12:26] ---**
There's a reason!
**[12:29] ---**
You can battle with all you have.
**[12:31] ---**
And giving it all you have is
what makes it fun!
**[12:35] ---**
All I have?
**[12:37] ---**
So give me all you've got!
**[12:39] ---**
And I'll give you mine!
**[12:41] ---**
I play Ambling Wraith!
**[12:43] ---**
And then the spell card Soul Conversion!
**[12:46] ---**
It destroys one of my followers,
and I draw two cards!
**[12:51] ---**
Then Ambling Wraith's Last Words activate
**[12:55] ---**
and destroy a follower at random.
**[12:58] ---**
Come on out, Zombeagle!
**[13:02] ---**
Spell Card: Voices of Resentment!
**[13:05] ---**
It creates two Ghosts with Storm!
**[13:09] ---**
I use one
to attack Feathered Patroller!
**[13:12] ---**
And then I evolve Zombeagle!
**[13:15] ---**
Together with a Ghost,
it attacks Gentle Specter!
**[13:20] ---**
It feels good when you give it your all!
**[13:22] ---**
V!
**[13:24] ---**
Yeah. You're right.
**[13:31] ---**
Gentle Specter's Last Words add an
Absolute Spirit to my hand.
**[13:37] ---**
I'll show you all I have.
**[13:40] ---**
Draw!
**[13:40] ---**
Protect me, Absolute Spirit!
**[13:51] ---**
That's your ultimate card?
**[13:53] ---**
I'm having fun.
**[13:55] ---**
I like you!
**[13:58] ---**
But I'm going to win!
**[14:00] ---**
I end my turn.
**[14:02] ---**
You think so, huh?
**[14:03] ---**
Then I'll have to use my best card, too.
**[14:07] ---**
I know you'll come.
**[14:10] ---**
So let's ride together!
**[14:13] ---**
Draw!
**[14:17] ---**
Come from the pits of hell!
**[14:21] ---**
Your name is...
**[14:23] ---**
Skeleton Raider!
**[14:26] ---**
Skeleton Raider's Necromancy effect activates
**[14:29] ---**
and destroys an enemy follower!
**[14:34] ---**
That's Absolute Spirit's effect.
**[14:37] ---**
It can't be targeted by enemy effects.
**[14:40] ---**
Then I'll do this!
**[14:42] ---**
Skeleton Raider has Storm.
**[14:44] ---**
I use it to attack Absolute Spirit!
**[14:52] ---**
No way!
**[14:53] ---**
Why?
**[14:54] ---**
Absolute Spirit's second effect.
**[14:57] ---**
When an enemy follower attacks,
**[14:59] ---**
it sends three cards
from my deck to my graveyard
**[15:02] ---**
and destroys the follower that attacked.
**[15:09] ---**
He's really strong!
**[15:13] ---**
I can't target it and can't attack it?
**[15:16] ---**
That's bad!
**[15:18] ---**
So I win?
**[15:20] ---**
Maybe!
**[15:21] ---**
But you never know who'll win
Shadowverse until the end!
**[15:25] ---**
That's what my friend says.
**[15:27] ---**
I see.
**[15:28] ---**
Then I'll keep going!
**[15:31] ---**
I play Elder Spartoi Soldier
and Splitting Specter.
**[15:35] ---**
Elder Spartoi Soldier's effect
adds 2 to my graveyard.
**[15:39] ---**
Her graveyard hit 20?
**[15:41] ---**
That sounds bad.
**[15:43] ---**
Absolute Spirit's Necromancy
effect activates.
**[15:46] ---**
With 20 Necromancy,
its attack and defense are increased by 10.
**[15:50] ---**
B-By 10?!
**[15:52] ---**
Get her, Absolute Spirit!
**[15:58] ---**
I end my turn.
**[15:59] ---**
And then Splitting Specter's effect activates.
**[16:03] ---**
It adds a Cruel Specter and
Gentle Specter to my deck.
**[16:08] ---**
That's bad.
**[16:10] ---**
What will you do? Forfeit?
**[16:12] ---**
Maybe!
**[16:14] ---**
Nope, just kidding.
**[16:17] ---**
I'm not forfeiting!
**[16:19] ---**
This is a fun battle with my friend Luna!
**[16:23] ---**
Okay, give me even more!
**[16:26] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[16:28] ---**
*But what do I do?*
**[16:30] ---**
*Absolute Spirit is really amazing.*
**[16:33] ---**
*I can't target it and can't attack.*
**[16:37] ---**
*Tails From the Cat, huh?*
**[16:38] ---**
* It can revive a follower*
* and give it Rush, but...*
**[16:43] ---**
*Attacking won't help.*
**[16:46] ---**
*Luna has 20 defense.*
**[16:48] ---**
*Zero cards in hand.*
**[16:49] ---**
*Fifteen cards in her deck...*
**[16:52] ---**
*And three super-strong followers.*
**[16:56] ---**
I have 6 defense. Two cards in hand.
**[16:59] ---**
Twenty-five cards left in my deck.
**[17:01] ---**
And my followers...
**[17:05] ---**
Him, huh?
**[17:06] ---**
How can I win with him?
**[17:15] ---**
Thanks!
**[17:17] ---**
That's right!
**[17:18] ---**
I'm sure if I look, there's a way to win!
**[17:20] ---**
She has 20 defense and zero cards in hand.
**[17:23] ---**
Fifteen cards in her deck...
**[17:26] ---**
Three followers...
**[17:30] ---**
This might work!
**[17:32] ---**
I attack Absolute Spirit with Zombeagle!
**[17:35] ---**
Absolute Spirit's effect activates.
**[17:38] ---**
I put three cards from my deck into my graveyard
**[17:41] ---**
and destroy the attacking follower.
**[17:44] ---**
That won't work.
**[17:47] ---**
Maybe not!
**[17:48] ---**
Zombeagle's Last Words
bring him back to my hand,
**[17:52] ---**
and back out he comes!
**[17:55] ---**
What will you do?
**[17:56] ---**
This, of course!
**[17:59] ---**
Awaken, Tails From the Cat!
**[18:01] ---**
Tails From the Cat's effect activates
**[18:05] ---**
and grants Rush to all followers
with 2 or less cost!
**[18:08] ---**
And for every one of those followers
that's been destroyed,
**[18:12] ---**
it creates a copy of it!
**[18:14] ---**
And then its second effect activates!
**[18:18] ---**
Whenever a follower with 2 or less cost
comes into play, it gives them Rush!
**[18:24] ---**
That's amazing, but it won't work.
**[18:26] ---**
Let's find out!
**[18:27] ---**
I attack Absolute Spirit
with four Zombeagles!
**[18:33] ---**
I told you. It won't work!
**[18:36] ---**
Absolute Spirit's effect activates!
**[18:47] ---**
See?
**[18:48] ---**
What now?
**[18:49] ---**
Nothing.
**[18:52] ---**
I end my turn.
**[18:56] ---**
Okay, I win!
**[18:58] ---**
My turn!
**[19:00] ---**
Draw!
**[19:06] ---**
Absolute Spirit's really strong, right?
**[19:09] ---**
It can't be targeted,
and it destroys all followers that attack.
**[19:15] ---**
But it has a weakness.
**[19:17] ---**
It sends three cards from your deck
to your graveyard!
**[19:21] ---**
You had fifteen cards in your deck.
**[19:24] ---**
I attacked five times with Zombeagle,
and you blocked it five times.
**[19:28] ---**
So your deck is...
**[19:31] ---**
Empty!
**[19:32] ---**
Yup.
**[19:33] ---**
And when you draw a card
with zero cards left in your deck,
**[19:39] ---**
your leader automatically loses!
**[19:46] ---**
I lost, but it was fun!
**[19:51] ---**
Yay!
**[19:53] ---**
I thought I had won.
**[19:57] ---**
I won this time.
**[19:59] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:00] ---**
You really are strong.
**[20:02] ---**
I lost!
**[20:07] ---**
Luna?
**[20:08] ---**
I'll always be with you.
**[20:11] ---**
So it's okay.
**[20:14] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:15] ---**
It was fun to give all I have.
**[20:17] ---**
So... So...
**[20:20] ---**
Keep giving it your all, Alice.
**[20:22] ---**
Yeah. Bye, Luna!
**[20:32] ---**
* Mimori, is it true*
* you're quitting being an idol?*
**[20:35] ---**
*No matter who I am, I'm still me.*
***SIGN*** Mimori Amamiya Quits Being an Idol?
**[20:39] ---**
* So I'm going to accept that*
* and move forward.*
**[20:42] ---**
Yup?
**[20:43] ---**
That's my big sis!
**[20:46] ---**
Mom? Um, listen.
**[20:48] ---**
I didn't like you.
**[20:52] ---**
'Cause I thought you didn't like me.
**[20:56] ---**
But I was wrong, wasn't I?
**[20:57] ---**
Mom, I didn't like this world.
**[21:01] ---**
But that's not your fault.
**[21:04] ---**
It's because I was lying.
**[21:06] ---**
I'm not going to lie anymore.
**[21:08] ---**
I'm going to give life all Ive got.
**[21:11] ---**
I'll give Shadowverse and
my battles all I've got!
**[21:14] ---**
I remembered that's
who Alice Kurobane is.
**[21:18] ---**
Mom, I love you!
**[21:20] ---**
I love you, and this world!
**[21:22] ---**
I'm Alice Kurobane!
**[21:25] ---**
An idol!
**[21:26] ---**

**[21:29] ---**
