**[00:24] Naofumi**
No... I won't be able to
block his next attack!
**[00:30] Atla**
I won't let you do this!
**[00:38] Fohl**
Atla!
**[00:49] Naofumi**
Atla!
**[00:53] Fohl**
Atla!
**[00:55] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[01:07] Naofumi**
Atla...

**[02:46] Eclair**
I didn't know you couldn't swim, Ren-dono.
**[02:49] Ren**
It's not something I'm good at.
**[02:53] Sadeena**
I'm sorry. Did that hurt?
**[02:55] Atla**
No, I'm fine.
**[02:57] Fohl**
Ow!
**[02:58] Melty**
Stop whining. It's not that bad.
**[03:05] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[03:07] Raphtalia**
How's Filo?
**[03:08] Naofumi**
She's alive, but her levels
are going down fast.
**[03:12] Raphtalia**
Which means Gaelion—no,
the Emperor Dragon—is also...
**[03:16] Naofumi**
Yup.
**[03:18] Naofumi**
By tomorrow morning, he'll have
drained away every last level.
**[03:22] Naofumi**
* The most effective attack we've*
* got right now is Atla's attack,*
**[03:25] Naofumi**
* which gets stronger when the*
* enemy has more defense, but...*
**[03:34] Wyndia**
How're your injuries?
**[03:36] Atla**
A lot better.
**[03:38] Wyndia**
I'm glad.
**[03:40] Atla**
There's something I want
to ask you, Wyndia-san.
**[03:43] Wyndia**
What?
**[03:45] Atla**
Is that dragon really your father?
**[03:52] Wyndia**
Yes. He's my father.
**[04:22] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Will you... protect her?
**[04:34] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Please.
**[04:35] (Flashback) Wyndia's Father**
Her name is Wyndia.
**[05:59] (Flashback) Wyndia**
This is yummy, isn't it, Dad?
**[06:10] (Flashback) Wyndia**
This one's upside-down?
**[06:16] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad, what's wrong? Calm down!
**[06:19] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Dad! Dad!
**[06:23] Wyndia**
That's right. The upside-down scale...
**[06:27] Wyndia**
The upside-down scale on the dragon...
**[06:29] Atla**
Wyndia-san?
**[06:30] Wyndia**
I have to tell the Shield Hero!
**[06:34] Naofumi**
We're a good ways away
from the village here.
**[06:36] Naofumi**
If we can lure the dragon out,
we can attack him from above.
**[06:40] Sadeena**
And the dragon vein is
particularly strong here,
**[06:43] Sadeena**
so we'll have the protection
of the land, as well.
**[06:46] Ren**
I agree that this is a
good place to fight him,
**[06:48] Ren**
but is he actually going to show up here?
**[06:51] Naofumi**
I'll use the Wrath Shield.
**[06:54] Melty**
We'll save Filo-chan,
no matter what it takes.
**[06:57] Sadeena**
Well, then we'd better get ready, right?
**[07:00] Melty**
I'll hide all the magic water and healing
potions I can find in the forest.
**[07:04] Eclair**
We have to be sure to clean and repair
our weapons and equipment, too.
**[07:07] Ren**
What's our plan, though?
**[07:08] Naofumi**
About that...
**[07:10] Wyndia**
Shield Hero!
**[07:15] Wyndia**
Everyone, listen to me!
**[07:17] Wyndia**
I figured out the Emperor Dragon's weakness!
**[07:23] Naofumi**
The upside-down scale...
**[07:24] Wyndia**
Yes. There's a single scale on
its chest that's upside-down.
**[07:29] Wyndia**
That's a dragon's weak point, I think.
**[07:33] Ren**
But what if it flies up into the air?
**[07:36] Naofumi**
I'll attract its attention and
make it land on the ground.
**[07:38] Naofumi**
Can you pin it down before
it starts flying again?
**[07:41] Sadeena**
Leave it to me.
**[07:43] Sadeena**
I've got the perfect Choral spell.
**[07:45] Sadeena**
Wyndia-chan and Melty-chan can help.
**[07:50] Sadeena**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:52] Melty**
Fine. I'll do it.
**[07:54] Wyndia**
I'll do my best, too!
**[07:56] Naofumi**
Raphtalia and Eclair, use attacks that
do more damage to high-defense enemies
**[07:59] Naofumi**
to wear down the Emperor Dragon's health.
**[08:01] Naofumi**
Ren and Sadeena, work together
and pierce the scale.
**[08:04] Naofumi**
Right now, that's the best plan we've got.
**[08:14] Fohl**
You sure you're okay?
**[08:15] Wyndia**
What do you mean?
**[08:17] Fohl**
I mean, we're about to
fight your dad, right?
**[08:21] Wyndia**
Yeah.
**[08:22] Wyndia**
But I'm okay.
**[08:25] Wyndia**
I came back here to say goodbye to my dad.
**[08:31] Fohl**
You're really strong, Wyndia.
**[08:34] Fohl**
Your dad, huh?
**[08:36] Sadeena**
You're such good kids, both of you!
**[08:39] Wyndia**
Are you drinking? At a time like this?
**[08:41] Sadeena**
This is exactly the time when you drink!
**[08:44] Sadeena**
Don't worry. I'll protect
you kids, no matter what.
**[08:50] Sadeena**
'Cause you're both so cute!
**[08:53] Fohl**
Your breath smells like alcohol!
**[08:54] Wyndia**
Can you fight when you're drunk?
**[08:57] Sadeena**
Of course! I actually get stronger!
**[09:07] Melty**
Grant me the power to overcome
the obstacles before me!
**[09:12] Melty**
Filo-chan...
**[09:25] Naofumi**
Go hide with the other kids...
**[09:27] Atla**
Naofumi-sama, I'll fight with you.
**[09:29] Naofumi**
No.
**[09:30] Atla**
But...
**[09:30] Naofumi**
Using your power is our last
resort if nothing else works.
**[09:35] Naofumi**
I want to have an ace up my sleeve.
**[09:37] Atla**
An ace!
**[09:38] Atla**
Yes, I'll do my best!
**[09:41] Atla**
Onii-sama! I'm the ace, Onii-sama!
**[09:45] Naofumi**
* I still don't fully understand*
* how her power works, though.*
**[09:49] Naofumi**
*It's too risky to try and rely on it.*
**[09:52] Naofumi**
* We'll have to finish this by*
* the time the sun rises.*
**[09:54] Naofumi**
Let's go, Raph-chan.
**[09:58] Naofumi**
Come! Wrath Shield!
**[10:32] Naofumi**
Stay back!
**[10:34] Naofumi**
I'm fine!
**[10:39] Naofumi**
There he is...
**[10:44] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Dragon vein, hear our wish!
**[10:48] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
As source of thy power, I beseech thee...
**[10:51] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Decipher the laws of nature,
**[10:53] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
and grant me the power to overcome
the obstacles before me!
**[10:57] Dragon**
Sacrifice yourself to me, Shield Hero,
**[11:00] Dragon**
and I will get revenge on all
the humans who made you suffer.
**[11:07] Naofumi**
Don't make me laugh.
**[11:10] Sadeena, Melty & Wyndia**
Choral Magic! Boundless Sea!
**[11:27] Sadeena**
Dragonfury Dual Blades!
**[11:32] Sadeena**
And one more...
**[11:34] Sadeena**
Orca Strike!
**[11:43] Wyndia**
No... we can't keep the
barrier up without her...
**[11:46] Melty**
Now's not the time for weakness!
**[11:48] Melty**
We'll try it again!
**[11:50] Wyndia**
Yeah!
**[11:53] Naofumi**
Eclair! Now!
**[11:56] Eclair**
Multistrike Crumble Attack!
**[11:58] Naofumi**
If he raises his defense, we do attacks
that do more damage to high defense.
**[12:01] Naofumi**
If he lowers it, we whale on him
with our strongest attacks.
**[12:06] Naofumi**
We can do this!
**[12:09] Naofumi**
Meteor Shield!
**[12:22] Naofumi**
Raphtalia!
**[12:25] Raphtalia**
Life Force Blade: Guard Breaker!
**[12:51] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama...
**[13:00] Dragon**
Shield Hero, regret your folly!
**[13:14] Wyndia & Melty**
Cursed land, change the flow of
your accursed dragon vein...
**[13:23] Atla**
Not yet.
**[13:25] Atla**
More... More...
**[13:29] Fohl**
*If...*
**[13:31] (Flashback) Fohl**
If their plan fails...
**[13:35] (Flashback) Atla**
As Naofumi-sama's servants,
**[13:37] (Flashback) Atla**
we have a duty to sacrifice ourselves to
make the plan succeed if he orders us to.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Fohl**
Atla...
**[13:53] Atla**
A wall?
**[13:57] Atla**
I can't break it!
**[14:06] Atla**
Onii-sama!
**[14:12] Fohl**
Atla!
**[14:13] Atla**
Please, Onii-sama!
**[14:17] Fohl**
Damn it!
**[14:30] Atla**
This is my last attack.
**[14:33] Atla**
Even if it costs me my life...
**[14:35] Atla**
I'll remove any obstacle that
stands in Naofumi-sama's way.
**[14:40] Atla**
Because I am...
**[14:51] Atla**
Naofumi-sama's shield!
**[15:16] Naofumi**
Well done.
**[15:19] Atla**
Thank you...
**[15:25] Ren**
There they are!
**[15:41] All**
Filo-chan!
**[15:42] Wyndia**
Gaelion!
**[15:44] Raphtalia**
Filo!
**[15:45] Melty**
Filo-chan! Wake up!
**[15:48] Melty**
Please!
**[15:52] Filo**
Mel-chan... Onee-chan...
**[15:56] Raphtalia**
Filo...
**[15:57] Melty**
I'm so glad you're safe...
**[16:00] Wyndia**
Gaelion...
**[16:36] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Fly, Dad!
**[16:44] (Flashback) Wyndia**
Good night, Dad.
**[16:49] Wyndia**
I'm glad I got to be your daughter.
**[17:06] Wyndia**
Cursed land, our desires,
**[17:09] Wyndia**
our wishes to save the world
are like a pure stream
**[17:13] Wyndia**
washing away hatred and anger.
**[17:16] Wyndia**
Dragon vein, we beseech thee to turn them
into strength and grant us a miracle!
**[17:20] Wyndia**
Erasing Aqua Splash!
**[18:00] Raphtalia**
You're not getting away!
**[18:02] Naofumi**
Air Strike Shield! Second Shield!
Dritte Shield!
**[18:10] Raphtalia**
Instant Blade: Mist!
**[18:28] Fohl**
It's over?
**[18:31] Naofumi**
Yeah.
**[18:42] Raphtalia**
Naofumi-sama!
**[18:48] Dragon**
Wrath will always dwell within your heart.
**[19:16] Mayor**
We're so lucky you came, Shield Hero!
**[19:20] Mayor**
The Sword Hero almost got
us all killed, you know!
**[19:25] Naofumi**
Don't blame Ren for what happened.
**[19:28] Naofumi**
You were the ones who manipulated him so
you could steal the dragon's treasure.
**[19:33] Naofumi**
You got what you deserved.
**[19:46] Ren**
I'm sorry.
**[19:48] Ren**
I've done something that
I can never atone for.
**[19:53] Wyndia**
I knew.
**[19:56] Wyndia**
I knew that the villagers
had manipulated you.
**[20:01] Wyndia**
But I still couldn't forgive you.
**[20:09] Wyndia**
Thank you!
**[20:13] Wyndia**
You saved my life twice!
**[20:23] Gaelion**
* It's wonderful to see your daughter*
* grow up, isn't it, Shield Hero?*
**[20:29] Naofumi**
That voice... It can't be.
**[20:31] Gaelion**
*It seems this body became a vessel,*
**[20:33] Gaelion**
*allowing me to escape annihilation.*
**[20:37] Naofumi**
You sure you don't want
to say anything to her?
**[20:40] Gaelion**
*She's trying to overcome my death.*
**[20:43] Gaelion**
*Keep it a secret for her sake as well.*
**[20:47] Naofumi**
I will.
**[20:53] Filo**
Give back the experience
points you took from me!
**[20:59] Filo**
Give them back! Give them back!
**[21:01] Filo**
Give them back!
**[21:03] Naofumi**
*Filo's curse is gone...*
**[21:06] Naofumi**
*Did the Emperor Dragon absorb it?*
**[21:11] Naofumi**
*All's well that ends well, I guess.*
**[21:25] Wyndia**
Let me ride, too!
**[21:39] Filo**
Wait!
**[21:41] Filo**
I'm the only one who gets
to give Master rides!
**[21:49] Wyndia**
Gaelion... grow up to be a great
dragon like my dad, okay?
