[01:49] Hibari
    Tell me, how will you fight
    the spiders with this ugly machine?
[01:56] Koushi
    Have you already told your allies,
    the other gods, about this place?
[02:02] Hibari
    No. My relatives don't care for me.
[02:06] Koushi
    And the spiders coming from underground?
[02:09] Hibari
    I don't care what you all
    crawl around in the dirt for.
[02:14] Hibari
    Humans, spiders, and this city
    mean nothing to me.
[02:18] Hibari
    I won't kill you unless you make
    a play for the Flickering Flame.
[02:24] Hibari
    I detest blood.
[02:27] Koushi
    How can you say that?
[02:29] Koushi
    So many humans are hurt and bleeding.
[02:32] Koushi
    They're fighting covered in blood.
[02:35] Koushi
    But you want to just stay up on high
    and never shed a drop of your own?
[02:40] Hibari
    I knew you would amuse me.
[02:43] Hibari
    I hope your machine does its job.
[02:47] Hibari
    But now, I must get back to
    monitoring your foster father.
[02:51] Hibari
    I may turn my spies' blades on
    his people if the situation calls for it,
[02:57] Hibari
    but don't blame me
    if you lose your cozy home.
[03:10] Voice 1
    Is it true that fiends have gotten inside?
[03:13] Voice 2
    Why else would they
    evacuate us to this place?
[03:17] Voice 3
    The alarm was ringing.
[03:19] Voice 4
    The grown-ups ran off without us.
[03:21] Voice 5
    But why can't we go home?
[03:24] Voice 6
    They'll send us back to work
    as soon as they know it's safe.
[03:26] Masumi
    Hey, are you okay?
[03:28] Masumi
    You injured? What factory did you come from?
[03:32] Boy Worker 1
    She ain't a worker.
[03:34] Boy Worker 1
    She doesn't even have a uniform.
[03:36] Masumi
    Can it. You're not even
    a team leader, so butt out.
[03:42] Boy Worker 1
    Keep it down. The chief'll yell at us again.
[03:45] Boy Worker 2
    Who is she?
[03:47] Boy Worker 3
    She's not a worker, right?
[03:48] Boy Worker 4
    Think she could be a kid from the slums?
[03:51] Boy Worker 5
    But she came with an evacuee group, right?
[03:52] Masumi
    Do you want to go outside?
[03:55] Boy Worker 6
    She must've gotten mixed in.
[03:56] Masumi
    What are you looking at?
[03:58] Masumi
    Let us through.
[03:58] Boy Worker 5
    I hear hunters headed to
    the tunnel to wipe out the fiends.
[04:01] Boy Worker 6
    You mean the wards broke?
[04:04] Boy Worker 7
    The spiders'll break the gods' wards
    and attack from the dark forest.
[04:08] Boy Worker 6
    The spiders? Are the gods
    gonna fight the spiders, then?
[04:12] Boy Worker 5
    The fire hunters will fight them first.
[04:15] Boy Worker 6
    Won't the other adults do anything?
[04:17] Boy Worker 6
    How can we just wait here
     twiddling our thumbs?
[04:20] Supervisor 2
    Pipe down, pipsqueaks.
    Don't talk like you know any better.
[04:24] Boy Worker 6
    If we keep working in the factories,
    pollution'll kill us anyway.
[04:28] Boy Worker 5
    I'd rather die fighting spiders!
[04:30] Supervisor 2
    Don't get smart with me! Any more
    nonsense and you're on waste disposal!
[04:35] Supervisor 2
    Or would you rather service tunnels
     till you can't stand straight?
[04:35] Masumi
    None of them have ever even
    seen a fiend or a spider.
[04:39] Masumi
    The older kids are always
    picking fights with the grown-ups.
[04:43] Boy Worker 8
    Hey. You can't just go outside.
[04:47] Masumi
    I think this girl is here by mistake.
    She says she's from the slums.
[04:52] Masumi
    Cowards.
[04:55] Masumi
    That scared them because the slums
     are said to be full of infection.
[05:00] Masumi
    But my mom's got it way worse.
[05:03] Masumi
    She can't talk anymore because of
    factory poisoning. She can only groan.
[05:08] Masumi
    And we'll all end up that way sooner or later.
[05:13] Masumi
    Just like my mom.
[05:16] Touko
    Are we somewhere in the factory district?
[05:20] Masumi
    No, we're in a communal kitchen
    in the residential district.
[05:24] Masumi
    Nothing to eat here now, though.
[05:29] Boy Worker 5
    Hey! Look at that!
[05:31] Boy Worker 6
    Whoa.
[05:32] Boy Worker 6
    Are the gods doing something?
[05:34] Boy Worker 7
    They're here. The spiders really came!
[05:38] Masumi
    What are you so happy about?
[05:41] Boy Worker 7
    My folks told me about 'em.
[05:44] Boy Worker 7
    They say the gods leave
    factory poisons around on purpose.
[05:49] Boy Worker 7
    When the spiders come, humans will
    be able to use fire like in the olden days.
[05:53] Boy Worker 7
    We'll be stronger than the gods.
[05:55] Boy Worker 6
    Is that true?
[05:58] Boy Worker 7
    My old man says the bug venom kills you,
    then makes it so you won't burn.
[06:03] Boy Worker 5
    The watch will arrest you
    for talking like that.
[06:06] Masumi
    Don't be silly.
    No one comes back from the dead.
[06:10] Boy Worker 6
    Shut up! I'd rather die from
    bug venom than factory poisoning!
[06:15] Supervisor 2
    Give it a rest already!
[06:18] Supervisor 2
    A-A-Anyway, all of you, get inside.
[06:24] Touko
    I had no idea.
[06:26] Touko
    I didn't know anything
    about what the capital is like.
[06:32] Masumi
    You mean you're not from the city?
[07:22] Koushi
    Kun, I can't operate this alone.
[07:24] Koushi
    I need your help.
[07:28] Kun
    Okay.
[07:29] Koushi
    But first, I have something to tell you.
[07:34] Kun
    I know. Everybody's gonna die, right?
[07:38] Koushi
    Right.
[07:40] Kun
    But you've gotta use this thing, right?
[07:47] Koushi
    Right.
[08:18] Koushi
    Kun, over here.
[08:21] Koushi
    Pull that long rod toward you
     as hard as you can.
[08:24] Kun
    Right.
[08:42] Okibi Maid A
    I believe children from
    the factories have gathered here?
[08:45] Supervisor 1
    Did the Okibis send you?
[08:47] Okibi Maid A
    Please enjoy this food together.
[08:50] Supervisor 1
    Meal time, you lot.
[08:53] Masumi
    Join in. Come on.
    This is your chance to get food.
[08:53] Kids
    Food!
[08:54] Kids
    I'm starving!

    Kun, Kanata, over here.

[09:37] Koushi
    Kun, curl up and keep your head down.
[09:59] Boy Worker 7
    Look, lightning!
[10:00] Kids
    Lightning?
[10:01] Boy Worker 5
    Forked lightning! It struck
    the edge of the factory district!
[10:07] Kids
    Hey! Quit crying!
[10:08] Touko
    Mr. Koushi...
[10:10] Okibi Maid A
    What? You know Koushi?
[10:15] Okibi Maid A
    Which factory is this girl from?
[10:17] Supervisor 2
    Actually, a fire hunter left her
    with us during the evacuation.
[10:31] Koushi
    A volley from the first cannon!
[10:47] Koushi
    Hurry, Kun. Load the next—
[10:52] On
    What are you doing?
[10:57] On
    I don't believe it. You can make
     lightning strike with this?
[11:04] On
    You're calling lightning...
[11:07] On
    and killing my comrades?
[11:39] Koushi
    Her arm!
[11:44] Koushi
    Kanata!
[12:12] Roroku
    That was a close one.
[12:14] Koushi
    Roroku!
[12:15] Roroku
    She dislocated her elbows and shoulders
    to stretch her already long arms.
[12:20] Roroku
    Her range was hard to gauge.
[12:21] Koushi
    So you're all right, then.
[12:24] Roroku
    You think anyone's all right
     given current circumstances?
[12:29] Koushi
    Your arm...
[12:32] Roroku
    It started to ignite,
    so I cut it off with my sickle.
[12:35] Roroku
    Those who escaped went to guard the first
     cannon at Takiguchi's like we'd planned.
[12:42] Roroku
    This thing wasn't firing,
    so they sent me to check it out.
[12:47] Roroku
    Where's the crew?
[12:49] Koushi
    The gods chased them off.
    They were gone by the time I got here.
[12:54] Roroku
    So you launched that shot on your own?
[12:58] Koushi
    No, I got this boy and Kanata to help me.
[13:04] Roroku
    Now that's rich.
[13:06] Roroku
    They've got a gaggle of grown men
    kicking up a fuss over there,
[13:11] Roroku
    but a four-eyed kid, a pipsqueak,
    and a dog made this monster howl.
[13:17] Koushi
    What's going on outside?
[13:21] Roroku
    Spiders leaped out of
    the underground tunnels all over.
[13:25] Roroku
    They must've been spinning their web
    under the capital for a long time.
[13:29] Roroku
    Fire killed the gods who thought
    they could get the drop on them.
[13:35] Roroku
    Most of the fire hunters burned, too.
[13:38] Roroku
    What about Akira and the girl?
[13:40] Koushi
    Akira set out for the divine palace.
[13:43] Koushi
    We asked a group of evacuating workers
     to take Touko into town.
[13:55] Kun
    On won't fight anymore.
[13:58] Koushi
    You know this spider?
[14:00] Kun
    We were together in the forest.
[14:02] Kun
    On had a short temper
    and wouldn't play with me much.
[14:06] Roroku
    Hey...
[14:08] On
    I wouldn't want humans any other way.
[14:12] Roroku
    You're a tough one.
    A human would be dead by now.
[14:17] Roroku
    Must be the spiders' divine blood.
[14:23] On
    As I speak, our fellows open the gates
    of the home from which we were driven.
[14:29] On
    Go to them, Kun.
[14:32] Kun
    The bug that makes you
    not burn doesn't work on me.
[14:36] On
    No matter. Go and watch
     as the world regains fire,
[14:45] On
    and as the spiders burn away the gods,
    the head clan from which we split,
[14:50] On
    and the home of our birth.
[14:53] Koushi
    "The home of your birth"?
[14:56] Koushi
    The spiders used to be part of the Fire Clan.

[14:59] Koushi
    Is that why you're so fixated on fire?
SIGN    Fire
[15:03] On
    Ancient flame was once
    the very power we commanded.
[15:09] On
    Now the head clan stands over all,
[15:12] On
    yet they cannot even approach the flame
    that is their power, let alone wield it.
[15:19] On
    Does it not frustrate you? More than anyone,
    humans should reclaim fire.
[15:25] On
    Return to the era when you
    boasted of controlling its might.
[15:29] Koushi
    Why... Why do you care so much
    about what humans do?
[15:33] Roroku
    Stop. Don't bother arguing.
[15:36] On
    We attack the capital
    where the divine clans squat
[15:40] On
    to achieve our great ambition
    of giving humanity fire.
[15:45] Koushi
    After you killed so many
    of those very humans?
[15:48] Koushi
    You act just like the
    people of the old world.
[15:54] Koushi
    Ancient humans once destroyed the world
    with fire to get what they wanted.
[16:03] On
    Didn't you kill your fair share
    using the fallbeasts' power?
[16:10] On
    Like the humans of the old world.
[16:14] On
    No matter how the world changes,
    the human race never will.
[16:20] On
    That is humanity's true nature.
[16:26] On
    Humans use fire to make things
    and fight each other.
[16:31] On
    Then they rise again from
     the ashes of destruction.
[16:35] On
    That's how it should be.
[16:37] On
    That's the kind of creatures humans are.
[16:41] On
    So reclaim fire.
[16:47] Touko
    Where are we going?
[16:49] Okibi Maid A
    We'll escort you to the Okibi estate.
[16:51] Okibi Maid A
    You must have seen Koushi in the factories.
[16:54] Okibi Maid A
    He's alive, isn't he?
[16:56] Touko
    He left me with some people
    and went to a factory, I think.
[17:02] Voice 1
    The spiders have come.
[17:04] Voice 1
    The spiders brought real fire to save us.
[17:07] Voice 2
    Purifying flame, not filthy fiendfire.
[17:12] Driver
    Move! And be quick about it!
[17:16] Driver
    Make way! Clear the road!
[17:16] Voice 3
    The spiders will save us, even after we die.
[17:20] Voice 5
    They'll free us from the torment
    of the factories and the pain of life!
[17:27] Okibi Maid A
    Who's that with the cane?
[17:30] Okibi Maid B
    That's Ms. Ibushi.
    She runs the cultivation plant.
[17:35] Ibushi
    You ought to stop this. Don't go.
[17:39] Ibushi
    It wasn't just the gods.
[17:42] Ibushi
    They swell up out of the dark places.
[17:45] Yuoshichi
    Someone escort Ms. Ibushi home to her estate.
[18:03] Yuoshichi
    Spineless coward.
[18:11] Kira
    Touko?
[18:13] Okibi Maid A
    Miss Kira.
[18:15] Kira
    What's wrong? What brings you here?
[18:18] Okibi Maid A
    She said she was in the
    factory district with Koushi.
[18:21] Okibi Maid A
    We bumped into her at a communal kitchen.
[18:25] Kira
    Touko, let's go to my room.
[18:29] Kira
    Bring her clean clothes
    and something hot to eat.
[18:31] Hibana
    Wait right there.
[18:36] Hibana
    Kira.
[18:38] Kira
    Yes, Mother.
[18:43] Hibana
    You mustn't decide these things on your own.
[18:48] Kira
    Forgive me, Mother.
[18:54] Hibana
    What are you waiting for?
    Fetch this girl a change of clothes.
[18:57] Kira
    Okay.
[18:59] Hibana
    Listen closely.
[19:01] Hibana
    That boy was invited into
     our home for this moment.
[19:07] Hibana
    Your father predicted this would happen
    and kept an assistant on hand.
[19:14] Hibana
    The boy certainly made
    himself at home here,
[19:19] Hibana
    but he must have realized that much himself.
[19:24] Hibana
    So, Kira...
[19:27] Hibana
    Stop having vulgar feelings
    for your father's lackey.
[19:33] Kira
    What?
[19:45] Kira
    Koushi and Hinako and even Kanata
    must be in the factory district right now.
[19:52] Kira
    I had no idea.
[19:55] Kira
    How... How long has this been going on?
[20:00] Kira
    I have to go.
[20:01] Kira
    I have to go to where they are.
[20:05] Hibana
    Kira! Wait!
[20:08] Kira
    I...
[20:09] Okibi Maid A
    Miss Kira!
[20:11] Touko
    Miss Kira!
[20:41] Kouhachi
    I must insist that the
    young lady accompany me.
[20:47] Kouhachi
    So that the Flickering Flame
    may become our new Lady Goddess,
[20:52] Kouhachi
    we must choose a human child
    as a temporary vessel.
[20:58] Kouhachi
    A bright, healthy girl like
    Miss Kira should do nicely.
[21:09] Hibana
    Kouhachi. So you were a mole?
[21:12] Hibana
    You pretended to be human and
     snuck into our home, you monster.
[21:17] Hibana
    Give me back my daughter!
[21:20] Takimi
    The Okibis have been chosen.
[21:23] Takimi
    Chosen by the gods to keep
    the human world from ending.
[21:28] Hibana
    You, too, Takimi?
[21:32] Takimi
    Little Hinako proved most suitable.
[21:36] Takimi
    She's a new breed of human
    that doesn't need fire.
[21:41] Hibana
    My daughter...
[21:43] Hibana
    Give Kira back to me!
[21:47] Takimi
    Unfortunately, this is no time for scruples.
[21:52] Takimi
    Please understand.
[21:54] Takimi
    We do this for future generations.
[21:58] Hibana
    Kira!
[22:12] Flickering Flame
    I'll take you to where the dogs are.
