[00:01] Administrator
    I'm starting to get annoyed.
[00:04] Administrator
    Why do you flail about
    in this unseemly manner?
[00:08] Administrator
    The outcome of this battle is already clear.
[00:12] Administrator
    What meaning can there be
    in the process of reaching a set outcome?
[00:17] Kirito
    It's the process that matters.
[00:19] Kirito
    Whether you die on your hands and knees,
    or die gripping your sword.
[00:24] Kirito
    It's what makes us human.
[00:34] Administrator
    The way you're dressed all in black
    makes you look like a dark knight.
[00:38] Administrator
    Fine. If you wish to suffer, then I'll make sure
    your fate is drawn out and cruel.
[00:47] Administrator
    You'll beg me to put you out of your misery.
[00:50] Kirito
    That won't be enough...
[00:54] Kirito
    ...to make up for my stupidity.
SIGN    My Hero
[02:33] Kirito
    The High-Norkian style stance.
[02:36] Kirito
    Which means she'll try for a killing blow.
[03:02] Administrator
    That was the one-handed four-hit strike sword skill,
    Vertical Square, wasn't it?
[03:07] Kirito
    Sword skill? Did she really just say that?
[03:11] Kirito
    Did she pull that from Eugeo's memories?
[03:14] Kirito
    If that's the case,
[03:16] Kirito
    then if I unleash a skill I never showed Eugeo
    with more than four hits...
[03:35] Administrator
    That was the six-hit rapier skill Crucifixion.
[03:41] Kirito
    No way.
[03:55] Administrator
    Single-hit katana skill Zekkuu.
[04:02] Administrator
    There's nothing I don't know
    about the system driving this world.
[04:07] Kirito
    That's...
[04:08] Eugeo
    This isn't like you.
[04:12] Kirito
    Eugeo.
[04:14] Eugeo
    Kirito.
[04:25] Eugeo
    It wasn't just the Integrity Knights
    who lost their memories.
[04:29] Eugeo
    You and I have both
    forgotten something important.
[04:33] Eugeo
    You, me and Alice were born in Rulid Village
    and grew up together.
[04:39] Kirito
    Yeah, I just remembered that, too.
[04:42] Kirito
    I was also there
    when Alice was taken away by that knight.
[04:46] Eugeo
    I couldn't do anything that day.
[04:50] Eugeo
    You were just a kid, but you gathered your courage
    and tried to stand up to that Integrity Knight.
[04:56] Kirito
    Eugeo.
[05:03] Eugeo
    So this time, I'm going to give you a push.
[05:07] Eugeo
    This time, let's definitely save Alice together.
    Now, Kirito...
[05:10] Eugeo
    Now, Kirito...
[05:15] Eugeo
    Kirito.
[05:17] Eugeo
    I know you can stand again.
[05:21] Eugeo
    You can stand as many times as it takes.
[05:42] Eugeo
    Now stand, Kirito.
[05:45] Eugeo
    My best friend.
[05:48] Eugeo
    My...
[05:51] Eugeo
    hero.
[05:59] Kirito
    Yeah, I'll stand.
    For your sake, as many times as it takes.
[06:14] Administrator
    Why?
[06:16] Administrator
    Why do you resist fate like a fool?
[06:22] Kirito
    That's why.
[06:24] Kirito
    Resisiting is the only reason I'm here right now!
[06:29] Administrator
    This world is mine!
[06:31] Administrator
    I will never allow such behavior
    from an uninvited intruder!
[06:35] Administrator
    On your knees!
[06:37] Administrator
    Offer me your head!
[06:39] Administrator
    Submit to me!
[06:47] Kirito
    Wrong.
[06:48] Kirito
    You're just a usurper.
[06:51] Kirito
    Someone who doesn't love this world
    or the people who live in it,
[06:55] Kirito
    has no right to be its ruler!
[07:01] Administrator
    To love is to control.
[07:03] Administrator
    I love everything.
[07:06] Administrator
    I rule everything!
[07:40] Administrator
    Such insolence!
[07:46] Administrator
    Such insolence!
[08:19] Administrator
    Curse you!
[08:32] Kirito
    Not yet.
[08:36] Kirito
    Not yet!
[09:04] Administrator
    To think that
    neither of your swords were metal...
[09:12] Administrator
    How unexpected.
    What an unexpected outcome.
[09:19] Administrator
    I've suffered too many injuries to heal,
    even if I gather the remaining resources here.
[09:28] Administrator
    Now that it's come to this,
    I have no choice.
[09:33] Kirito
    Wh-What are you...
[09:44] Kirito
    Wha—
[09:45] Administrator
    This is earlier than planned, but...
[09:48] Administrator
    I'll be going now.
[10:02] Administrator
    Goodbye, boy.
[10:04] Administrator
    Until we meet again.
[10:07] Administrator
    Next time...
[10:09] Administrator
    ...in your world.
[10:12] Kirito
    Wait!
[10:18] Chudelkin
    Your Eminence!
[10:21] Chudelkin
    Please take me with you!
[10:31] Administrator
    Let go! Let go of me! You ill-bred swine!
[10:35] Chudelkin
    At last... at last I can be one with Your Eminence!
[10:41] Administrator
    Not by a revolting clown like you!
[10:45] Chudelkin
    Oh, Your Eminence!
[10:47] Chudelkin
    My Lady Administrator!
[11:14] Administrator
    I... this world of mine...
[11:31] Kirito
    Is it over now?
[11:40] Kirito
    Eugeo.
[11:51] Kirito
    Stop! Stop already!
[11:54] Kirito
    Why won't it work? Eugeo.
[11:57] Kirito
    Come back! Eugeo!
[12:06] Eugeo
    Stay cool... Kirito.
[12:10] Kirito
    Eugeo! Hold on, I'll heal you now, okay?
[12:15] Eugeo
    It’s fine. It's fine this way, Kirito.
[12:21] Kirito
    What are you talking about?
    How is it fine?
[12:24] Eugeo
    If it didn't end up like this,
[12:27] Eugeo
    you and I would've had to fight
    on behalf of our own Alice.
[12:34] Eugeo
    Me to get Alice's memories back, and you...
[12:42] Eugeo
    to save Integrity Knight Alice's soul.
[12:47] Kirito
    Then fight!
    After I've healed all your wounds, fight me!
[12:52] Kirito
    You're stronger than I am now! So...
[12:55] Kirito
    on behalf of your Alice, fight me!
[13:00] Eugeo
    My sword is already broken.
[13:04] Eugeo
    Not to mention, because I was weak,
    I turned my sword against you.
[13:12] Eugeo
    I have to atone for that sin.
[13:17] Kirito
    What sin? You didn't commit any sin!
[13:21] Kirito
    You fought bravely the entire way!
[13:24] Kirito
    Without you,
    we never could've defeated Administrator!
[13:28] Kirito
    So there's no need to blame yourself, Eugeo!
[13:32] Eugeo
    You think so? I hope that's true.
[13:37] Eugeo
    Kirito, I've always been envious of you.
[13:44] Eugeo
    You were stronger than anyone,
    and loved by everyone.
[13:50] Eugeo
    Who knows, maybe even Alice... loves you...
[13:54] Eugeo
    But I finally understand.
    Love isn't something you seek.
[14:00] Eugeo
    It's something you give.
[14:03] Eugeo
    Alice taught me that.
[14:11] Alice
    Your hands are idle, Kirito.
[14:13] Alice
    See, I'm almost done with mine.
[14:16] Alice
    How far along are you?
[14:18] Kirito
    I'm faster than you.
[14:21] Kirito
    Just this much left.
[14:23] Alice
    Then let's keep going a little longer and finish!
[14:27] Kirito
    Hey, let's head back now. Or he'll find out.
[14:31] Alice
    We still have time.
    A little longer... just a little bit, okay?
[14:36] Kirito
    Guess it can't be helped.
[14:38] Kirito
    All right, just a little longer, then.
[14:40] Alice
    Okay!
[14:44] Alice
    Done!
[14:45] Kirito
    I'm done!
[14:47] Kirito
    So this is where you've been.
[14:52] Eugeo
    What are you doing?
[14:54] Kirito
    E-Eugeo.
[15:01] Alice
    It's three days early, but Eugeo...
[15:04] Alice
    Happy Birthday!
[15:10] Eugeo
    This is for me?
[15:12] Kirito
    It's not like the real one your big brother has,
[15:17] Kirito
    but this one's better than any wooden sword
    you'll find in the shop!
[15:32] Eugeo
    It's amazing.
[15:34] Eugeo
    I’ll treasure this!
[15:36] Eugeo
    Thanks, you two!
[15:38] Eugeo
    I'm so happy.
[15:40] Eugeo
    I've never gotten a birthday present
    that made me this happy.
[15:43] Kirito
    H-Hey, don't cry!
[15:46] Eugeo
    I'm not!
[16:00] Kirito
    Wai—
[16:03] Eugeo
    The three of us
    definitely lived through the same time.
[16:06] Alice
    Our paths are about to separate,
    but our memories will remain forever.
[16:11] Eugeo/Alice
    - They'll go on living inside you.
    - They'll go on living inside you.
[16:14] Eugeo/Alice
    - So, look...
    - So, look...
[16:20] Eugeo
    So, look...
[16:23] Eugeo
    don't cry, Kirito.
[16:25] Kirito
    Yeah, my memories are right here.
[16:29] Kirito
    They'll be right here forever.
[16:32] Eugeo
    That's right.
    So you and I will be best friends forever.
[16:39] Eugeo
    Where are you, Kirito? I can't see you.
[16:45] Kirito
    I'm here. I'm right here.
[16:48] Eugeo
    Yeah. I see it...
[16:51] Eugeo
    Sparkling in the darkness, just like the stars.
[16:56] Eugeo
    The stars in the sky I looked up at every night
    from the foot of the Gigas Cedar.
[17:03] Eugeo
    They look just like your sword when it shines.
[17:08] Eugeo
    That's it. Your black sword...
[17:12] Eugeo
    should be named the Night-Sky Blade.
[17:14] Kirito
    Yeah, that's a great name.
[17:17] Kirito
    Thanks, Eugeo.
[17:20] Eugeo
    This sorrowful world...
[17:24] Eugeo
    envelop it as gently as the night sky.
[17:47] Eugeo
    This is how it should be, right?
[17:50] Alice (young)
    Yes. Let's leave the rest to those two.
[17:53] Alice (young)
    I'm sure they'll guide the world
    in the right direction.
[17:57] Eugeo
    You're right. Okay, then let's go.
[18:00] Alice (young)
    Okay!
SIGN    Performing this operation will set the
    Fluctlight Acceleration rate to 1.0. Are you sure?
[19:03] Kirito
    Kikuoka.
[19:05] Kirito
    Can you hear me, Kikuoka?
[19:09] Kirito
    Kikuoka!
[19:17] Nakanishi
    Lt. Colonel Kikuoka, the door has been breached.
    We won't last much longer.
[19:20] Nakanishi
    We're abandoning Maincon
    and closing the pressure-resistant bulkhead.
[19:24] Kikuoka
    Sorry, hold out for two more minutes.
    We can't let them seize this place now.
[19:30] Kirito
    What's going on?
[19:32] Kikuoka
    Higa, isn't the lockdown done yet?
[19:35] Higa
    Another eight... no, seventy seconds!
[19:40] Higa
    Mr. Kiku! We're getting a call from inside!
[19:43] Higa
    It's...
[19:46] Higa
    It's him! It's Kirigaya!
[19:48] Kikuoka
    Wh-What?
[19:50] Kikuoka
    Kirito, is that you?
[20:02] Kikuoka
    Are you there, Kirito?
[20:05] Kirito
    Th-That's right!
[20:06] Kirito
    Listen, Kikuoka! Do you...
    Do you know what you've done?
[20:09] Kikukoka
    You can scold me all you want later!
[20:12] Kikukoka
    But right now, you need to listen to me!
[20:14] Kirito
    What?
[20:16] Kirito
    Hey! What's going on over there?
[20:30] Kikukoka
    Sorry, there's no time.
[20:32] Kikukoka
    Listen, Kirito.
[20:34] Kikukoka
    You have to look for a girl named Alice.
    Then take her—
[20:37] Kirito
    I don't have to look for her.
    She's right here!
[20:39] Kikukoka
    What did you say?
[20:40] Higa
    Son of a gun! It's a miracle!
[20:43] Kikuoka
    All right. As soon as this transmission ends,
    I'm going to return the FLA rate to 1,000.
[20:48] Kikukoka
    So take Alice and head to the World’s End Altar!
[20:51] Kikukoka
    What do you mean, head to—
[20:52] Kikukoka
    Listen! Once you exit the Eastern Gate,
    the Altar's due south—
[20:56] Nakanishi
    Oh no!
[21:00] Nakanishi
    They're about to infiltrate the electrical room!
[21:03] Kikukoka
    What?
[21:07] Gabriel
    You only need to sever the power line.
[21:10] Gabriel
    Make sure you don't
    harm the Lightcube Cluster control lines.
[21:13] Vassago
    Leave it to me, Bro.
    I wouldn't mess up like that.
[21:17] Higa
    This is bad, Mr. Kiku!
[21:19] Higa
    If they sever the main power line,
    it'll cause a surge!
[21:22] Higa
    The Lightcube Cluster is protected, but...
[21:25] Higa
    the surge will hit Kirigaya's STL in Subcon!
[21:29] Higa
    His Fluctlight will get fried!
[21:32] Kikukoka
    I'll handle the lockdown procedure!
[21:35] Kikukoka
    Higa, you take Dr. Kojiro and Asuna
    and evacuate to the Upper Shaft.
[21:39] Kikukoka
    Keep Kirito safe.
[21:40] Kirito
    Asuna?
[21:42] Kirito
    Asuna's there? At Rath? But why?
[21:46] Officer
    It's no good, they're cutting the power!
    The screw propellers are going to stop!
[22:01] Asuna
    Kirito. Kirito!
[22:05] Kirito
    Asuna...
