[00:03] Lavian
    Glark?
[00:04] Lavian
    Glark!
[00:07] Lavian
    Who would do this?
[00:10] Glark
    Unacceptable.
[00:12] Glark
    I won't accept this,
    even if world turns upside-down.
[00:17] Glark
    I'm almost there...
[00:20] Glark
    I can see all of Zemuria bowing before me...
[00:28] Glark
    I was almost there!
[00:33] Rogan
    Hear that?
[00:35] Rogan
    Glark has shown his true colors.
[00:37] Rogan
    He's a maniac spouting
    nonsense about ruling Zemuria.
[00:43] Rogan
    That's who this "hero" really is.
[00:46] Glark
    Lavian Winslet.
[00:55] Glark
    Lavi, there's no way out for you, either...
[01:02] Glark
    You can't escape the curse
    that is being called a hero...

[02:55] Jaeger
    Nobody move.
[02:58] Jaeger
    We'd prefer not to get rough,
    but we will restrain you if you resist.
[03:02] Barzagli
    Restrain us?!
[03:04] Barzagli
    What gives you the right
    to spout this nonsense?!
[03:07] Barzagli
    So long as Master Glark lives,
    we won't let you do as you please!
[03:19] Jaeger
    We're sorry, Commander!
[03:22] Jaeger
    We let the girl escape—
[03:24] Jaeger
    Th-There she is! Of all the places...
[03:28] Jaeger
    What? No way!
[03:31] Jaeger
    Y-You killed him? You really killed him?!
[03:34] Rogan
    Quiet. Calm down.
[03:36] Jaeger
    I see. You brought divine justice
    down upon Glark.
[03:39] Jaeger
    Finally... Finally!
[03:40] Lavian
    That's not...
[03:43] Rogan
    Let the world know.
[03:45] Rogan
    We could not let Glark have his way anymore.
[03:50] Jaeger
    Sir!
[03:53] Jaeger
    Glark is dead!
    Our commander, Rogan, has killed Glark!
[03:58] Jaeger
    A new revolution has begun!
[04:01] Jaeger
    And our leader, Rogan,
    is the one who started it!
[04:02] Rogan
    With this, nobody will
    lend an ear to the truth.
[04:06] Rogan
    The fiction written just now
    will become reality.
[04:10] Rogan
    Both my squad and yours...
[04:12] Rogan
    We were really only looking
    for an excuse to destroy each other.
[04:18] Jaeger
    Commander! Is that girl...
[04:24] Jaeger
    R–Rogan!
[04:25] Jaeger
    How dare you?!
[04:32] Rogan
    Go.
[04:37] Rogan
    That's enough.
[04:45] Rogan
    The old tree has finally withered away, then...
[05:02] Rogan
    Let it go, Glark.
[05:05] Rogan
    Do you refuse to go unarmed to hell, too?
[05:21] Barzagli
    What did you say?
[05:23] Barzagli
    I-It can't be!
[05:25] Female Councilor
    He killed Master Glark? Is Rogan insane?!
[05:29] Jaeger
    This country has no need
    for a withered hero anymore.
[05:33] Jaeger
    Justice is on our side!
[05:34] Barzagli
    Glark is...
[05:37] Barzagli
    Master Glark is our hope, our light!
[05:41] Barzagli
    He can't die!
[05:46] Barzagli
    What's so funny?!
[05:48] Kiedis
    Glark ran out of luck!
[05:51] Kiedis
    This was as far as he was fated to go.
[05:55] Kiedis
    We were tricked!
[05:57] Kiedis
    We fell for his sweet talk!
[06:00] Barzagli
    You little...!
[06:04] Barzagli
    Let go of me! Unhand me, I say!
[06:07] Barzagli
    Master Glark isn't dead! He can't be dead!
[06:10] Barzagli
    Master Glark is forever!
[06:17] Old Leader
    Is this confirmed?
[06:19] Messenger
    Yes, the legislature has fallen
    to Rogan and the radicals.
[06:24] Messenger
    All areas have been put under martial law.
[06:26] Old Leader
    Have we summoned our men?
[06:28] Dren
    We have.
[06:30] Dren
    But some of them have already
    been captured by Rogan,
[06:34] Dren
    so we don't know how many can join us...
[06:42] Iseria
    Tak! Have you seen Lavi?
[06:45] Tak
    Iseria?
[06:46] Tak
    Nah. I'm looking for Ivano, too.
[06:49] Tak
    Will they make it, with
    everything that's going down?
[06:52] Tak
    But what's going to happen next?
[06:55] Tak
    With Master Glark dead...
[07:01] Iseria
    Lavi...
[07:11] Dren
    A symbol?
[07:13] Old Leader
    If Master Glark is no more,
[07:16] Old Leader
    there'll be no one left to unite
    the different factions here.
[07:21] Old Leader
    We need a symbol to rally our troops.
[07:24] Dren
    You mean the hero's grandchild?
[07:27] Old Leader
    Yes.
[07:28] Old Leader
    Where is she?
[07:29] Dren
    She's not here yet.
[07:31] Old Leader
    Hurry up and take custody of her.
[07:33] Old Leader
    We will definitely need her at some point.
[07:37] Jaeger
    This is terrible!
[07:38] Dren
    What's wrong?
[07:39] Jaeger
    We're surrounded!
[07:41] Jaeger
    This whole building is!
[08:01] Old Leader
    He's gone and done it, that damned Rogan.
[08:04] Deputy Commander
    But why are the archaisms here?
[08:06] Deputy Commander
    Didn't Master Glark have
    complete control over them?
[08:11] Dren
    Don't tell me, that device
    to activate the archaisms...
[08:16] Lavian
    Did Rogan take it?
[08:35] Rogan
    How does it feel to be
    stripped of your hero's armor?
[08:40] Rogan
    Is it a load off your mind?
[08:47] Rogan
    Did you make your dog howl at me
    to shut me up from the afterlife?
[08:52] Rogan
    I suppose you would still
    struggle, even in death.
[08:59] Rogan
    However...
[09:01] Rogan
    There's nothing left for you to do.
[09:06] Rogan
    Other than to wait and watch, like always.
[09:14] Rogan
    If the golden fruit dangles off a cliffside
    tree, I will gladly reach out for it.
[09:20] Rogan
    Whether I fall or not, I won't
    seize anything if I hesitate.
[09:26] Jayna
    You're always like that. All or nothing.
[09:29] Jayna
    If you're going to fall,
    don't drag me down with you.
[09:32] Rogan
    Is that you, vixen?
[09:34] Jayna
    You've had too much to drink.
    Your back is wide open.
[09:38] Jayna
    I could take a shot anytime.
[09:40] Rogan
    Well, did you shoot someone in the back?
[09:45] Rogan
    I'm amazed you're still here.
[09:47] Rogan
    I was sure you would've joined
    the other side or been captured.
[09:54] Jayna
    Rude. I'm taking a neutral stance.
[09:59] Rogan
    Awfully unbalanced for "neutral," I'd say.
[10:07] Jayna
    Drinking to his memory?
[10:08] Jayna
    I doubt he'd be happy,
    being mourned by the man who killed him.
[10:13] Rogan
    How shameless.
[10:15] Rogan
    Power is a mother that births madness.
[10:19] Rogan
    Glark may have once had this
    country's best interests at heart
[10:23] Rogan
    as he sincerely dreamed of unifying Zemuria.
[10:28] Rogan
    However, that dream turned
[10:31] Rogan
    into just another means
    to prove his own greatness.
[10:38] Rogan
    What a fool.
[10:40] Jayna
    Really?
[10:41] Jayna
    I think he was quite heroic.
[10:45] Jayna
    "A hero stands out from the crowd
    and only grows grander with time."
[10:51] Jayna
    He once said that. A rare complaint,
    coming from Glark of all people.
[10:58] Jayna
    That's why he was forced to
    keep growing grander, no matter what.
[11:04] Jayna
    Until he burst.
    It's like some kind of curse.
[11:12] Rogan
    Ridiculous.
[11:17] Rogan
    And? What are you planning on doing?
[11:21] Rogan
    Do you think you can pretend
    to be neutral forever?
[11:25] Jayna
    You're not so stubborn that you would
    turn away someone of value, are you?
[11:31] Jayna
    I just want to see for myself,
    and enjoy the sight.
[11:35] Rogan
    See what?
[11:37] Jayna
    What your newfound power
[11:40] Jayna
    gives birth to.
[11:45] Rogan
    While he insisted that we wait and see,
[11:48] Rogan
    and extolled cooperation with other nations,
[11:50] Rogan
    what Glark was really planning was
    to sate his thirst for domination
[11:56] Rogan
    with meaningless aggression and war.
[11:59] Rogan
    If I hadn't taken out the withered hero,
    North Ambria would have had no future.
[12:04] Rogan
    This choice I made and
    carried out after much anguish
[12:08] Rogan
    is the righteous will of our Goddess Aidios.
[12:10] Rogan
    And...
[12:12] Rogan
    It continues the spirit of
    Vlad Winslet, our true hero.
[12:17] Rogan
    I declare here and now...
[12:19] Rogan
    that a new revolution has begun!
[12:23] Rogan
    We have struggled and
    struggled in this northern land,
[12:27] Rogan
    and in order to regain our pride,
[12:27] Iseria
    A little higher!
[12:29] Tak
    I-I can't! My toes can't take any more!
[12:29] Rogan
    I swear to stand up to any and all
    oppression, never hesitate to fight,
[12:31] Iseria
    Hey, stop staggering!
[12:33] Tak
    Are you done? Done yet?!
[12:35] Rogan
    and build a glorious
    future for North Ambria!
[12:40] Dren
    How did it look to you?
[12:42] Iseria
    Impossible. They're all over
    the place, even the rear.
[12:46] Dren
    How about you?
[12:47] Jaeger
    I tried escaping through
    a thinly manned point,
[12:51] Jaeger
    but those machines set their sights
    on me as soon as I got close.
[12:54] Jaeger
    There's no room
    for even an ant to crawl out.
[12:57] Dren
    I see.
[12:59] Dren
    We're out of options...
[13:01] Dren
    Unless we do something about those archaisms.
[13:04] Lavian
    What do I do?
[13:06] Ivano
    Hey, what are you doing?
[13:08] Ivano
    Why's the hero's grandchild here?
[13:11] Lavian
    Ivano, you're okay?
[13:13] Ivano
    'Course I am!
[13:15] Ivano
    Things have gotten interesting.
[13:17] Ivano
    Thrills, shocks, suspense, it's all here!
[13:21] Ivano
    I almost got caught
    by their guards just now.
[13:24] Ivano
    But hey, my face got me out of that mess.
[13:28] Lavian
    Your face?
[13:29] Ivano
    I haven't spent eight—no,
    nine years here for nothing!
[13:33] Ivano
    As a veteran soldier, I've got a bunch
    of connections and favors to call in,
[13:38] Ivano
    even among Rogan's men.
[13:41] Lavian
    Wow, impressive.
[13:43] Ivano
    You think I'm lying?!
[13:45] Ivano
    Even the elite squad were
    my lackeys as trainees!
[13:50] Lavian
    Shh!
[13:53] Ivano
    But man...
[13:54] Ivano
    With all them whatchamacallits
    surrounding the place,
[13:57] Ivano
    there's no way for us to get in.
[14:00] Ivano
    What did I even come all the way
    here from the Palace Pub for?
[14:04] Lavian
    Palace Pub?
[14:06] Ivano
    It's just a tiny watering hole
    close to the Legislative Palace.
[14:10] Ivano
    Doesn't live up to its name.
    I went there for drinks last night...
[14:13] Lavian
    So you came here from the Legislative
    Palace without being caught?
[14:16] Ivano
    I told you, my face got me out of that mess!
[14:20] Lavian
    You know, you kinda stink.
    You reek of sewage.
[14:25] Ivano
    You'd better reward me handsomely.
[14:28] Ivano
    I can't believe I'm down here,
    walking back to the palace.
[14:31] Lavian
    I'll buy you northern borscht.
[14:32] Ivano
    Nah, I got bored of it.
[14:35] Ivano
    Oh, that's right!
    You're the hero's grandchild,
[14:38] Ivano
    so can you pull some strings
    to get me promoted?
[14:40] Ivano
    Any rank will do, as long
    as it's higher than Dren!
[14:43] Lavian
    Die.
[14:43] Ivano
    Hey!
[14:45] Ivano
    There are better ways to refuse, damn it.
[14:49] Ivano
    But are you serious about
    sneaking into the palace?
[14:53] Lavian
    Yeah.
[14:55] Lavian
    I'll take back the archaism
    device that Rogan has.
[14:59] Lavian
    Unless we do that, nobody can make a move.
[15:02] Ivano
    Heh. You're as wild as ever.
[15:05] Ivano
    Or actually, you're batshit crazy.
SIGN    Imperial Capital Heimdallr,

SIGN    Imperial Capital Heimdallr,
    Erebonian Empire
[15:15] Marty
    Here we go!
[15:17] Marty
    The fish around here are too fast.
SIGN    Are you satisfied with fishing?
SIGN    If you'd like to go somewhere, I can take you.
[15:24] Marty
    I just wanted to take a walk.
[15:27] Marty
    And drop the act.
    I know you're monitoring me.
[15:32] Marty
    Hup.
[15:37] Marty
    Looks like Scarecrow
    doesn't fully trust me yet.
[15:42] Marty
    You were monitoring us
    back then, too, right?
SIGN    Back then?
[15:45] Marty
    The time Lavi got separated from us
    and ended up underground.
[15:50] Marty
    You were talking about some doll
    or whatever, remember?
[15:55] Marty
    So, what's this hero of the Empire like?
SIGN    I have no reason to tell you.
[16:01] Marty
    So you do still see me as the enemy.
SIGN    That's not it.
[16:05] Marty
    So what's the problem?
SIGN    He enjoys fishing.
[16:10] Marty
    The hero? We could get along!
[16:14] Marty
    What else? Is he an obvious
    go-getter and all that jazz?
SIGN    He's perfectly ordinary, though he does have an indecent side.
[16:23] Marty
    Indecent?
[16:25] Marty
    You're so funny!
[16:31] Marty
    Wha...
SIGN    Never do that again.
[16:36] Marty
    Gotcha...
[16:39] Marty
    But, you know, should the Empire really be
    relying on an indecent guy to protect it?
SIGN    I'm not sure.
SIGN    He seems unhappy with his standing as a hero.
[16:49] Marty
    Now that's an interesting hero.
[16:52] Marty
    In a way, that might keep him sane.
SIGN    Is that so?
SIGN    Hello?
SIGN    Yes. Please wait, I'll pass it on.
[17:03] Marty
    Huh? What's up?
SIGN    Haliask has been placed under martial law.
SIGN    The legislature has been captured, and the Lightning Lord of the North, Glark...
[17:11] Marty
    ...was killed, huh? Pass me that.
[17:14] Marty
    Scarecrow?
[17:17] Marty
    Rog was behind all of it?
[17:20] Marty
    I see.
[17:21] Marty
    And what happened to that?
[17:22] Marty
    The demand for reparations
    from North Ambria?
[17:27] Rogan
    We absolutely refuse!
SIGN    Juno Naval Fortress, Lamare Province
[17:30] Aurelia
    So they refused after all.
SIGN    Everything is going as planned.
SIGN    Former Noble Alliance Base
SIGN    It's just that we're dealing with the Aurora Phenomenon instead now.
SIGN    Former Noble Alliance Base
[17:39] Aurelia
    It makes no difference
    who we're dealing with.
[17:41] Aurelia
    Not for the Empire, nor those
    pulling the strings in the shadows.
SIGN    It seems we'll have to leave this fortress.
[17:49] Aurelia
    No need to be in such a rush.
[17:52] Aurelia
    The negotiations should continue,
[17:54] Aurelia
    in order to create an alibi
    to show neighboring countries.
SIGN    An alibi?
[17:58] Aurelia
    "Negotiations broke down,
    even though we tried our best."
[18:02] Aurelia
    Putting on this farce will help
    justify an invasion of North Ambria.
[18:09] Aurelia
    Either way, we will simply head
    down the path laid out for us.
[18:14] Dren
    He refused? What a stupid move...
[18:17] Old Leader
    But given that it comes
    with legislative approval,
[18:20] Old Leader
    that is North Ambria's official response,
[18:23] Old Leader
    regardless of who made the call.
[18:27] Deputy Commander
    Is he really getting ready for war?
[18:30] Old Leader
    I can only pray he's not getting ready
    to lead North Ambria into Gehenna.
[18:45] Jaegers
    Yeah!
[18:48] Ivano
    I got it. They probably
    refused the Empire's demands.
[18:53] Lavian
    I see...
[18:53] Ivano
    Is that such a big deal?
[18:55] Lavian
    This might be our chance to sneak in,
    while they're celebrating.
[19:00] Lavian
    You said you had security
    connections earlier, right?
[19:04] Ivano
    Huh? Yeah...
[19:05] Ivano
    There's one over there.
[19:09] Ivano
    Oh, him, as well.
[19:10] Ivano
    He owes me big time after losing
    to me at cards a long time ago.
[19:16] Lavian
    You are good at cheating, I guess.
[19:18] Ivano
    Hey, you! That's lies and slander!
[19:21] Lavian
    Distract him.
[19:22] Ivano
    What was that?
[19:23] Lavian
    Make some small talk and distract him.
[19:26] Ivano
    Are you kidding me?! I could get captured!
[19:29] Lavian
    I'll consider getting you
    that reward you asked for.
[19:31] Ivano
    You mean it? You'll think
    about the promotion?!
[19:35] Ivano
    All right! Stand by!
[19:39] Lavian
    Sorry, I'm only going to think about it.
[19:44] Jaeger
    That's our Aurora Phenomenon!
    He showed those Imperial pigs who's boss!
[19:50] Jaeger
    But this will definitely lead to battle.
[19:53] Jaeger
    Bring it on!
[19:54] Jaeger
    We'll show them what the elite
    Northern Jaegers are capable of!
[19:59] Jaeger
    Yeah, that's right! We'll kick their asses!
[20:01] Jaeger
    We've got Rogan on our side.
[20:07] Lavian
    Why?
[20:08] Talion
    That's what I'd like to ask you.
    Did Iseria dress you up like that?
[20:14] Lavian
    Everyone's trapped in the theater...
[20:16] Talion
    Not my concern. I'm neutral here.
[20:20] Talion
    So I have no reason to tell them
    that you've snuck in here, either.
[20:26] Talion
    But things might change
    the next time I see you.
[20:29] Talion
    How reckless, though.
[20:31] Talion
    Don't tell me your duty as
    the hero's grandchild is driving you.
[20:39] Talion
    I don't know what you're
    trying to do all by yourself,
[20:42] Talion
    but I pray that you
    don't dig your own grave,
[20:45] Talion
    with your identity.
[20:49] Lavian
    Wait.
[20:51] Lavian
    Rogan wasn't the one who killed Glark.
[20:54] Lavian
    There's someone else pulling the strings.
[20:57] Talion
    What are you trying to say?
[20:58] Lavian
    Well, I mean...
[21:01] Talion
    Rogan's room is on the tenth floor,
    all the way in the back.
[21:03] Talion
    He should be away attending
    a meeting right now.
[21:07] Talion
    What other information
    could you possibly want?
[21:10] Talion
    Now's not the time for needless distractions.
[21:28] Lavian
    A trap?!
[21:29] Jaeger
    Where?!
[21:30] Jaeger
    The tenth floor!
[21:38] Jaeger
    Not here! Go deeper in!
[21:50] Lavian
    Talion, you didn't...
[21:52] Jaeger
    Over here!
[21:54] Jaeger
    Hurry up! Don't let her get away!
