[00:04] Lavian     As a North Ambrian, [00:06] Lavian     I've got something to say to you! [00:13] Rean     What's that? [00:21] Lavian     The people of North Ambria fear you. [00:25] Rean     I'm not going to harm them. [00:28] Lavian     Then what's your goal? [00:30] Lavian     To dismantle the Northern Jaegers? [00:32] Rean     The order I was given is to     evacuate the citizens of Haliask. [00:37] Lavian     That can't be all. [00:39] Rean     I was also told to capture the mastermind, [00:42] Rean     but people's lives are my priority. [00:47] Lavian     I need the help of a hero.

[02:29] Lavian     No one in this country can stop them. [02:32] Lavian     But you're different. [02:35] Lavian     No matter what kind of archaism you face, [02:36] Lavian     you should be able to destroy them all. [02:41] Lavian     "No matter who they are..." [02:43] (Flashback) Rean     I'll protect them. [02:45] Lavian     That's what you said to me back then. [02:48] Rean     I did. [02:49] Lavian     Stop this chaos without     letting anyone get hurt. [02:53] Lavian     I'll go get rid of its cause. [02:55] Lavian     I leave the lives and pride     of North Ambria in your hands. [03:00] Rean     Talk about unreasonable. [03:04] Rean     Very well. [03:05] Rean     Crossing swords told me how much     this request means to you. [03:20] Marty     Why did you charge in by yourself?     You're so impatient!

[05:52] Rogan     I'll be right back. [05:56] Jaeger     This way, you stupid puppets! [06:00] Jayna     The bit players are doing their best.     How wonderful. [06:07] Jayna     But I'm getting tired of seeing     the same performance over and over. [06:11] Talion     But you have something     else in store, don't you? [06:14] Jayna     I do. [06:15] Jayna     A tragedy to put even the Salt Pale to shame. [06:23] Jayna     Now, let us go. [06:24] Jayna     The turning point of the show is coming up.

[07:02] Jayna     to the stage for our climax. [07:16] Lavian     Right now, Haliask is drowning in chaos. [07:19] Lavian     Do you realize how many people     you're making suffer with your actions? [07:23] Lavian     Shut down this plant at once. [07:25] Jayna     It began with a single droplet. [07:28] Jayna     That one droplet soon ate away at     the body, circulated in the blood, [07:32] Jayna     and became part of a ruler who longed     for the day he took the throne. [07:37] Jayna     But heroes put a stop to his coronation, [07:40] Jayna     and the curse of that ruler     who lost everything [07:43] Jayna     destroyed the heroes of North Ambria. [07:47] Lavian     What are you talking about?! [07:55] Campanella     That's enough. [07:58] Rogan     You damned clown! [08:03] Campanella     If this broke, it'd ruin everything. [08:07] Jayna     The withered hero breathed life into puppets     by offering up his homeland in exchange. [08:13] Jayna     The toy is proof of the secret pact to     give the clown all that his homeland had. [08:19] Jayna     The pact between the two was     broken with the hero's death, [08:23] Jayna     and the clown returned     to the side of the ruler. [08:25] Jayna     The tired old tale of a hero comes to an end, [08:28] Jayna     and unfolding in its place     is an unprecedented tragedy. [08:37] Lavian     Those kids! [08:46] Jayna     A sandcastle that crumbles     away with one touch... [08:49] Jayna     With the sacrifice of the young sparrows,     the puppets' lives will come to an end. [08:53] Lavian     What did you just say?! [08:56] Jayna     If you make the rookies fall,     the archaisms will all come to a stop. [09:01] Lavian     No way! [09:03] Jayna     All you have to do is break their footing. [09:06] Jayna     If you don't, this place     will eventually fall apart, [09:08] Jayna     the puppets will endlessly     increase in number, [09:10] Jayna     and the chaos will continue forever     and become everyday. [09:15] Jayna     The rookies will lose their lives either way.     Hurry up and put them to good use. [09:20] Lavian     I'm not falling for your lies! [09:22] Jayna     I'm not lying. [09:24] Jayna     The archaisms will stop. [09:26] Jayna     And that will beckon in a new curse     that will plague this country! [09:31] Jayna     Awaiting the sparrows' fall is a curse crest     that can change the script of this play. [09:38] Jayna     There are two possible scenarios. [09:41] Jayna     The silver curse is a blight     on the lives of North Ambria. [09:45] Jayna     All children born in this land     will be possessed by evil spirits. [09:52] Jayna     The golden curse is a blight     on the soil of North Ambria. [09:56] Jayna     The gates of Gehenna will open,     and the lands will overflow with evil monsters. [10:01] Jayna     The moment the rookies fall, [10:04] Jayna     whichever color the curse pattern     takes will decide the future. [10:07] Jayna     No matter how you struggle,     only tragedy awaits. [10:11] Jayna     See? Isn't it lovely? [10:15] Campanella     You weren't even all that useful,     so at least don't ruin things. [10:21] Rogan     What do you mean? [10:22] Campanella     The more the Northern Jaegers     increased tensions, [10:26] Campanella     the less attention we would draw     from the Imperial government. [10:29] Campanella     And here I thought you'd     do perfectly, Aurora boy. [10:33] Rogan     So you used North Ambria as cover?! [10:38] Campanella     What's the problem? This country     will cease to exist soon. [10:42] Campanella     We didn't hesitate to use you     to further our plans. [10:48] Rogan     Screw you! [10:59] Campanella     Oh, boy. [11:01] Campanella     There goes that data. [11:04] Campanella     Well, not bad, for you. [11:09] Campanella     I'll take my leave now. [11:11] Campanella     I hope you survive, boy. [11:15] Rogan     Don't you dare mess with     the Aurora Phenomenon! [11:31] Civilian     Feena! [11:41] Iseria     This isn't good... [11:43] Lavian     Possessed by evil?! [11:45] Lavian     Overflowing with monsters?! [11:46] Lavian     Do you really think that's possible?! [11:49] Jayna     The results don't mean a thing to me, [11:53] Jayna     as long as I'm amused. [11:55] Lavian     You've gone mad! [11:57] Jayna     That's North Ambria. [12:00] Jayna     This portal will soon close. [12:02] Jayna     Hurry up and be part of the finale     in this unprecedented tragedy. [12:07] Jayna     A fitting honor for the grandchild     of a cursed hero, right? [12:16] Rean     I can't protect everyone like this! [12:50] Jayna     Are you enjoying this? [13:24] Talion     Need some help? [13:27] Lavian     Talion? [13:31] Talion     Do you want to continue our duel? [13:34] Lavian     Jayna told me... [13:36] Lavian     that the only way to stop     the archaisms is to sacrifice the rookies. [13:41] Lavian     I can't do that. [13:43] Talion     So what will you do, then? [13:45] Lavian     Jayna tried to force me to choose what     would happen after I sacrificed the recruits. [13:50] Lavian     But she didn't say what     would happen if I saved them. [13:52] Talion     You want to stake it all on that? [13:55] Lavian     Help me. [14:06] Rogan     Why are you here? [14:08] Marty     It just means your luck hasn't run out! [14:10] Marty     Fight till the bitter end, Rog! [14:14] Rogan     How loud you are for someone     fresh off the boat from the Empire! [14:33] Talion     Save the rookies     by destroying this mechanism? [14:36] Lavian     It's getting in the way of saving the rookies. [14:39] Lavian     But destroying it without making     the rookies fall is difficult. [14:44] Lavian     Both need to be done at the same time. [14:46] Talion     And you want me to do one part? [14:48] Lavian     Yeah. [14:51] Talion     That's not like you. [14:53] Talion     You're the kind to charge in without     an explanation at times like these. [14:59] Talion     There were many times where things could     have ended badly without your initiative. [15:06] Talion     I'll take that gamble, too. [15:09] Talion     Please tell me what you want to do. [15:13] Lavian     I'll destroy the mechanism. [15:15] Lavian     While I do that, you save all the rookies. [15:22] Lavian     I'm glad you came. [15:25] Lavian     I couldn't ask this of anyone else. [15:28] Talion     Isn't it my job to care about the stupid     things, and do what you can't, Lavi? [15:34] Talion     It's a bit late for that. [15:37] Lavian     I leave it to you, Tally. [15:40] Talion     Yes. [15:41] Talion     Starting the countdown. [15:44] Talion     Drei. [15:45] Lavian     Zwei. [15:47] Talion     Eins! [15:48] Laviantalion     Null! [15:54] Lavian     I won't miss this time. [16:02] Talion     Lavi! [16:24] Talion     We made it back, and with the whole     gang together, too. [16:28] Lavian     Yeah. [16:30] Talion     You're unharmed,     even after taking a direct hit... [16:33] Talion     How in the world did you do it? [16:36] Lavian     This thing took the hit for me. [16:47] Talion     Looks like it was the blood of     a hero that won out, not the curse. [16:53] Lavian     That's not it. [16:59] Aide2     The Empire's Soldat unit     has entered the city. [17:02] Aide2     It's heading here to the Legislative Palace. [17:04] Rogan     I'm letting the Empire take North Ambria,     without being able to do anything for the country? [17:10] Marty     It ain't like you. [17:13] Marty     I thought you could always find     the silver lining in everything. [17:17] Marty     Rog, the world is full of leaders     of vanquished nations. [17:22] Marty     It beats someone who came crawling     back after working for the enemy. [17:27] Rogan     That's true. [17:28] Rogan     I haven't stooped as low     as some lost causes I know. [17:33] Rogan     I'll leave this land and build up a war front. [17:37] Jaeger     I'll go with you, Commander! [17:39] Jaeger     Let's take back our homeland one day. [17:41] Jaeger     I'll deflect the Empire's attention. [17:44] Rogan     Thank you. [17:45] Jaeger     Don't mention it. [17:47] Jaeger     My heart is always by     North Ambria's side and yours. [17:55] Marty     Live strong. [17:58] Rogan     Right back at you. [18:05] Lavian     He left? [18:06] Marty     Yeah. [18:08] Marty     Oh? [18:14] Talion     What was that for, Supervisor?! [18:16] Marty     That's a good look on your face. [18:18] Iseria     Ah! Found you! [18:20] Marty     Oh, I hope she's gotten a bit more girly— [18:22] Iseria     I see Tally, too! [18:24] Iseria     Say, why were you riding that Soldat? [18:26] Iseria     Is that an Imperial uniform?! [18:26] Marty     Wait, she hasn't changed one bit! [18:27] Iseria     You were with the Empire's     hero, right?! Why? Why?! [18:29] Marty     H-Hey! Calm down! [18:29] Iseria     I've got so many questions! [18:31] Iseria     Hey, Marty, where are you going?! [18:36] Aurelia     The Northern Jaegers,     who occupied the Legislative Palace [18:39] Aurelia     and incited all kinds of violence,     have surrendered to us. [18:45] Aurelia     The Imperial government will spare no     expense to support post-war efforts. [18:50] Aurelia     We request full cooperation     from the civilians, as well. SIGN    A Few Days Later [18:55] Railway     All right, all right! SIGN    A Few Days Later [18:58] Railway     Still okay! All right, all right! [19:01] Railway     Okay, keep going! [19:04] Lavian     I heard you were unconscious for several days. [19:07] Rean     I'm not back to my best yet, but I'm okay now. [19:10] Lavian     Oh. [19:12] Lavian     You really saved us. You have my thanks. [19:14] Rean     Nah, I'm just glad we're both safe. [19:17] Lavian     Yeah. [19:18] Lavian     Though North Ambria has it     rough from here on out. [19:25] Rean     What will you do next? [19:28] Lavian     I haven't decided yet. [19:30] Lavian     But for now, I'll be     looking after my students. [19:33] Rean     Students? [19:34] Lavian     Rookies who I've taught in the past. [19:37] Rean     Oh? It's amazing that you're     an instructor at your age. [19:41] Lavian     I'm sure you'd be better suited for it. [19:43] Rean     Huh? [19:45] Lavian     You're kind-hearted enough to     risk your life for an enemy. [19:48] Lavian     Something I could never do. [19:52] Rean     Oh, that's right. [19:53] Rean     Thanks for this. [19:55] Lavian     Sure. [19:56] Rean     A present from your family? [19:58] Lavian     Huh? [19:59] Rean     I thought it was, from     the embroidery on the back. [20:06] Lavian     Mom... [20:08] Rean     I'm not that different from you. [20:12] Rean     At first, I just wanted to     protect my family and my friends. [20:17] Rean     But before I knew it, people were     calling me the Empire's hero. [20:22] Rean     While fighting for North Ambria, [20:25] Rean     I'm sure you became a hero     to someone else, too. SIGN    Rean, it's time for us to depart. [20:32] Rean     Gotcha. I'll be right there. [20:34] Rean     See you again, then. [20:37] Lavian     And I never want to see you again. [20:41] Lavian     But if there's something     we both want to protect, [20:44] Lavian     it's possible we'll meet again. [20:47] Rean     That's right. [20:54] Vlad     ...all of us are heroes deep down. [20:59] Lavian     Me, a hero? [21:02] Lavian     I see. [21:06] Lavian     November, Septian Calendar 1205. [21:10] Lavian     North Ambria formally     became a part of the Empire. [21:15] Lavian     The scars left behind from war     were significant, [21:20] Lavian     but the people have begun to rebuild. [21:24] Lavian     These events have made me see a lot of things. [21:29] Lavian     I'd thought that "hero" was     a title for the chosen ones. [21:34] Lavian     But in reality, [21:36] Lavian     through their actions and their will, [21:40] Lavian     anyone can become a hero to someone else. [21:43] Lavian     Grandpa and Rean didn't     start out as heroes, either. [21:49] Lavian     I'm sure a lot will happen     in Zemuria in the future. [21:53] Lavian     And each time, new heroes will be born. [21:58] Lavian     I want to follow in the trails     that those heroes blaze. [22:06] Lavian     I don't know yet what sights     await me along the way. [22:16] Lavian     But if I use my own legs to     walk and take everything in, [22:21] Lavian     I think I'll be able to see     more clearly than I do now. [22:29] Talion     Goodbye, then. [22:31] Lavian     Yeah, see you. [22:33] Lavian     I'll keep moving forward with all I've got, [22:37] Lavian     so I can return to my homeland     filled with pride. [22:40] Lavian     And...

[22:50] Ivano     Oh, Lavi the Great!     Wildest thing in Zemuria! Rookie! [22:53] Tak     What? Those aren't compliments! [22:55] Tak     Really? [22:56] Lavian     Get lost. [22:56] Ivano     What?! [22:58] Ivano     Don't say that! [23:00] Tak     I want to see the outside world, too. [23:00] Lavian     So that I can blaze my own trails someday. [23:02] Lavian     Don't care. [23:03] Ivano/Tak     Lavi, please! SIGN    Indeed, we are homunculi. Artificially created beings.

SIGN    We became government soldiers to defend a dying army. [23:23] Rean     No, of course not. I'm the one who started     all this, so I have to see it through. [23:27] Rean     Let's be the flashing blade     that illuminates the darkness. SIGN    A hero is what he does, and what he wills.
