[00:03] Snow
    Wis!
[00:05] Snow
    Come on, Wis!
[00:07] Snow
    Are you still hanging on to that old thing?
[00:10] Snow
    It's getting so ragged, it's creepy.
[00:13] Wis
    But you made it for me!
[00:17] Wis
    When I was still inside Mum's tummy.
[00:20] Snow
    That is true, I guess.
[00:21] Wis
    How did you know I was going to be a girl?
[00:26] Snow
    That's a good question, come to think of it.
[00:29] Snow
    It's just... I had been
    praying for a long time.
[00:33] Snow
    "I'll do anything! I'll work really hard,
     so please, give me a sibling."
[00:38] Wis
    I didn't know that!
[00:40] Snow
    Even before you were born, Wis,
[00:43] Snow
    I loved you more than
    anything else in the world.
[00:46] Wis
    Snow?
SIGN    Night Ten "The London Demonic Battlefront"
[02:27] Naberius
    Look, man...
[02:28] Naberius
    How are you gonna tell your
     little missy about her brother?
[02:32] Marbas
    Blackbell, you lost your family as well, yes?
[02:36] Marbas
    But you didn't break,
    due to your convictions.
[02:39] Marbas
    That and the support of Naberius, correct?
[02:43] Diana
    Yes. He was a great help.
[02:47] Marbas
    Then I will be there for Wisteria.
[02:50] Marbas
    Even if it's not possible immediately,
[02:53] Marbas
    one day, she will be able
    to look forward again.
[02:55] Marbas
    I saw you two accomplish as much before.
[03:00] Marbas
    Which is why I chose to aid you.
[03:03] Marbas
    And now...
[03:06] Marbas
    I demand that you help me!
[03:09] Naberius
    You... what is your problem?!
[03:20] Holmes
    Now, which hand do you think it's in?
[03:23] Wis
    The right hand.
[03:24] Wis
    I can tell from the difference
    in sound. And the flow of air.
[03:28] Holmes
    Correct.
[03:30] Holmes
    I daresay we can call your senses
    something of a special ability.
[03:35] Holmes
    From the outside, highly-honed
    perception can seem otherworldly.
[03:40] Holmes
    For example, I can tell that Watson here
    visited the post office this morning
[03:46] Holmes
    and sent a telegram.
[03:48] Watson
    Yes, yes, indeed I did.
[03:51] Wis
    Wow... it's like magic.
[03:54] Holmes
    That was simply a bit
    of observation and deduction,
[03:57] Holmes
    and I believe you may be capable
    of doing something similar in time.
[04:04] Wis
    A special ability...
[04:05] Wis
    Come to think of it,
[04:06] Wis
    the Commander of the Sword Cross Knights
    mentioned something like that.
[04:11] Wis
    And that dream from yesterday
    was so realistic...
[04:15] Wis
    Could something have happened to Snow?
[04:20] Marbas
    I'm here to pick you up, Wisteria!
[04:24] Watson
    W-Whoa, hold on!
[04:26] Wis
    Marbas?
[04:28] Marbas
    Doctor, Detective... I appreciate your help.
[04:34] Wis
    Marbas, slow down!
[04:37] Marbas
    We've been encountering one stifling
    incident after another since arriving.
[04:40] Marbas
    Today, we see the sights!
[04:44] Marbas
    This is Big Ben!
    An ostentatiously large clock.
[04:47] Marbas
    Trafalgar Square! It's crawling with humans!
[04:51] Marbas
    Westminister Abbey! A pretentious church!
[04:55] Marbas
    London Tower! A gloomy fortress!
[04:58] Marbas
    It's famous as an execution grounds
    for political criminals...
[05:00] Wis
    His explanations are so sloppy,
    they're not sinking in.
[05:04] Wis
    Not to mention that I can't see anything.
[05:07] Marbas
    This is the food called ice cream.
[05:11] Marbas
    It seems to be a trend in the city.
[05:14] Marbas
    Try a bite.
[05:16] Wis
    Sure.
[05:22] Wis
    It's very delicious!
[05:24] Marbas
    I see. How about another bite, then?
[05:30] Wis
    You try.
[05:45] Marbas
    What's wrong?
[05:47] Wis
    Thank you so much for cheering me up.
[05:51] Wis
    I can tell, though...
[05:53] Wis
    My brother's been turned
    into a demon, hasn't he?
[05:58] Marbas
    Yes. We didn't make it in time.
[06:02] Marbas
    I'm sorry for adding to your sorrow,
[06:04] Marbas
    but I have never heard of any case
    where a human survives being possessed
[06:08] Marbas
    by multiple upper-rank demons.
[06:10] Marbas
    If you want vengeance, I will help.
[06:12] Marbas
    But... I'm afraid the boy will never...
[06:16] Wis
    Still, I must see him.
[06:20] Wis
    Even if the outcome is going to be tragic,
[06:23] Wis
    that... is no excuse to not do what I can.
[06:29] Marbas
    You have truly become strong.
[06:34] Wis
    Marbas...
[06:35] Wis
    If I've become strong, it's thanks to you.
[06:40] Wis
    The reason I can march forward
    without doubts, in spite of my blindness,
[06:44] Wis
    is because I know you will be by my side.
[06:48] Wis
    From the moment we met, I'm certain...
[06:51] Wis
    that you have been giving me courage!
[06:55] Marbas
    Wisteria...
[07:02] Wis
    Marbas! I just sensed something!
[07:04] Marbas
    One of the demons that
    Dantalion has been gathering...
[07:18] Wis
    You are the light.
[07:21] Wis
    No matter how deep the darkness, I know
    I can carry on with you by my side.
[07:27] Wis
    You are my guiding light.
[07:37] Luther
    It seems that I originally enlisted
[07:40] Luther
    because a friend of mine
    was being shipped out.
[07:44] Luther
    I started wondering if my life
    was fine the way it was.
[07:47] Luther
    I thought about whether or not
    I could contribute more.
[07:54] Luther
    The training was hard, but my
    friends kept my spirits high.
[07:59] Luther
    We would talk, time and again,
    about how we'd survive and achieve victory.
[08:06] Luther
    There was this euphoria we felt, like we were
    carrying our homeland's hopes on our backs.
[08:11] Luther
    And that's why we never stopped,
    never looked down, until...
[08:22] (Flashback) Snow
    Hey, Luther.
[08:25] (Flashback) Snow
    Why are we even doing this?
[08:37] Dantalion
    How were the new memories?
[08:42] Luther
    I'm starting to think my amnesia
[08:44] Luther
    isn't just because of my injuries.
[08:49] Luther
    Boss,
[08:51] Luther
    I don't need any more memories as rewards.
[08:55] Luther
    I was interested in why the old me
    wanted to start fighting,
[09:01] Luther
    but it was so stupid, I don't care anymore.
[09:04] Dantalion
    Are you saying you want to
    end our contract, Luther?
[09:08] Luther
    How'd you get that from what I said?
[09:11] Luther
    This whole arrangement is because
    I like raising hell with you.
[09:16] Luther
    Where do rewards or prices factor into that?
[09:21] Dantalion
    Well, I mean,
[09:22] Dantalion
    relationships between demons and humans
    are supposed to be transactional...
[09:28] Knight A
    Impact confirmed!
[09:30] Knight B
    Second volley, fire!
[09:38] Sol
    They surely didn't expect
[09:40] Sol
    that we would seal off
    and then bombard them.
[09:44] Lucia
    Is all this really necessary, sir?
[09:47] Sol
    Indeed it is.
[09:49] Sol
    We need to ensure that the
    contractor, Luther Roosevelt, dies.
[09:56] Luther
    Damn!
[09:57] Luther
    They almost blew me to bits.
[10:01] Lucia
    He survived that blast?!
[10:03] Sol
    Stay calm.
[10:05] Sol
    I will engage them. Maintain the
     gunfire and bombardments.
[10:10] Lucia
    But sir,
[10:11] Lucia
    most of the others can't see demons.
[10:14] Sol
    Tell them to aim at me.
[10:16] Sol
    I make a fine target.
[10:21] Luther
    They've got snipers, too.
[10:23] Luther
    What about the Mist Incense Burner, Boss?
[10:26] Luther
    Yeah, I can see how it'd break.
[10:34] Dantalion
    Armored commander! We met again,
    and as quickly as I expected!
[10:39] Luther
    Boss?!
[10:41] Dantalion
    Our match is now, Luther!
[10:44] Dantalion
    Here he comes.
[10:45] Luther
    Got it!
[10:46] Luther
    Even I know to run now.
[10:51] Dantalion
    So irritating...
[10:53] Dantalion
    Why would you use something
    as inelegant as artillery?
[10:56] Sol
    So that I could defy
    your moronic expectations.
[11:00] Sol
    This is nothing more than
    pest extermination to me.
[11:03] Sol
    I have no interest in entertaining you.
[11:06] Sol
    Die like the vermin you are.
[11:08] Dantalion
    I see. Well, that's not very nice.
[11:12] Dantalion
    But I have no interest
    in accommodating your plan, either!
[11:21] Dantalion
    Pay it no mind.
[11:23] Dantalion
    I'm just exterminating some pests.
[11:29] Luther
    Bloody hell, they've even
    got the army with them.
[11:33] Soldier A
    There he is! Down that street!
[11:35] Soldiers
    After him! Don't let him go!
[11:36] Luther
    Being chased down by my brothers-in-arms...
[11:39] Luther
    Bet the old me would've
    fainted at the thought.
[11:41] Luther
    I wonder why, then...
[11:45] Luther
    I've got this wonderful, nostalgic feeling!
[11:48] Luther
    Explosions. Smoke.
[11:50] Luther
    Uniforms, red like blood...
[11:53] Luther
    This is the picture I stepped out of!
[11:59] Luther
    Hey, what's wrong, Boss?
[12:01] Dantalion
    It turns out that armored chap
    is really something!
[12:05] Dantalion
    I keep trying to regroup,
    but he leaves no openings!
[12:08] Dantalion
    He may be my foe, but he's a hell of a guy!
[12:11] Dantalion
    Which raises the question: How to fight back?
[12:15] Luther
    Y'know, Boss, this is really fun!
[12:18] Luther
    Whenever I'm with you, it's a great time!
[12:21] Dantalion
    The feeling is mutual, Luther!
[12:23] Dantalion
    It's been centuries since
    I've had this much fun!
[12:26] Luther
    Aw, come on, you've gotta be exaggerating.
[12:32] Dantalion
    Luther?
[12:34] Luther
    Well... this is as far as I go.
[12:41] Luther
    This has been a pretty good life, if I say so myself.
[12:44] Luther
    Bye-bye now, Boss.
[12:48] Dantalion
    Luther!
[12:59] Luther
    What is this place?
[13:02] Luther
    A battlefield?
[13:07] Dantalion
    Luther!
[13:10] Dantalion
    Let's go! Together!
[13:16] Luther
    You sure are a silly old man.
[13:19] Luther
    After all these battles, and all this death...
[13:23] Luther
    You're still not satisfied?
[13:28] Luther
    Fair enough.
[13:30] Luther
    I'm with you to the end!
[13:40] Sol
    How? How, after all this...
[13:44] Sol
    Are we still falling short?!
[13:46] Luther
    This is a limited release of the one of the
     Thirteen Calamities of the Wasteland!
[13:52] Luther
    Trampling mountains of dead,
    behold Dantalion, the War Calamity!
[14:07] Sol
    All units, retreat!
[14:10] Sol
    See to the protection of civilians!
[14:13] Sol
    And try to stay alive!
[14:16] Lucia
    What about you, Commander?!
[14:18] Sol
    At this point... I'm the only one
    who can stand up to him!
[14:22] Luther
    It was obvious you'd go after me!
[14:28] Luther
    That's a heavy blow! But...
[14:31] Luther
    For some reason, I'm feeling
    pretty damn strong right now!
[14:37] Sol
    What is this?! How can
    a normal human parry me?!
[14:44] Sol
    What's wrong?! I told you to retreat!
[14:49] Sol
    What the...
[14:50] Dantalion
    Morale control.
[14:53] Dantalion
    I can explosively amplify
    my own army's strength,
[14:56] Dantalion
    while at the same time
    eroding the enemy's will to fight.
[14:59] Dantalion
    It drives them into a state of terror,
    neutralizing them as a force.
[15:03] Dantalion
    But you're as impressive as I expected.
[15:07] Dantalion
    Your will to fight isn't shaken at all.
[15:10] Dantalion
    Still...
[15:17] Dantalion
    You are no match for me with my power released!
[15:23] Lucia
    Commander!
[15:26] Dantalion
    One-sided battles tend to lack elegance...
[15:32] Dantalion
    but crushing your foes is one
    of the best things about war.
[15:37] Dantalion
    Calamity Rain.
[15:44] Lucia
    Everyone!
[15:50] Dantalion
    It seems I missed quite a few.
[15:54] Dantalion
    It has been a while since
    I cut loose like this, after all.
[15:57] Dantalion
    Let me put you to rest...
[15:59] Sol
    I think not!
[16:03] Sol
    Lucia!
[16:05] Sol
    Try to gather the survivors
    and get them out of here!
[16:09] Sol
    If I can kill the contractor, this will end!
[16:13] Lucia
    That voice... Commander?
[16:17] Sol
    If nothing else, try to escape.
[16:21] Luther
    You're carrying a whole lot
    of baggage, aren't you? Seems rough.
[16:25] Luther
    And none of it seems to be of much help.
[16:28] Luther
    That's why you're so weighed down.
[16:31] Sol
    You're wrong there.
[16:34] Sol
    They're all valuable to me.
[16:38] Sol
    Which is why I stand before you!
[16:41] Lucia
    Commander!
[16:47] Lucia
    I'll see to the survivors
    and direct the evacuation!
[16:51] Lucia
    I'll handle things in the rear!
[16:53] Lucia
    Godspeed, sir!
[16:57] Sol
    I'm counting on you.
[17:02] Dantalion
    Let's see if I can't lighten your load.
[17:16] Naberius
    So bloody hard!
    Guess I couldn't crack his horn.
[17:19] Marbas
    Look, Naberius.
[17:22] Naberius
    The armored bastard!
[17:25] Marbas
    It's something like a buffet...
[17:28] Marbas
    There's no shortage of foes to attack!
[17:33] Astaroth
    What're they on about?
[17:35] Astaroth
    And dragging their
    contractors around, the lot of them.
[17:38] Sitri
    Demons are supposed to be solitary creatures.
[17:42] Sitri
    And yet we apparently need to play nice
    with humans to unleash our true strength.
[17:49] Sitri
    If it's supposed to be a joke,
    that's one that makes me sick.
[17:51] Astaroth
    You're not gonna help Dantalion?
[17:55] Sitri
    No. See, at this point...
[17:59] Sitri
    I'm thinking of doing whatever I want, too.
[18:04] Marbas
    It seems we've ended up
    helping him somehow.
[18:09] Marbas
    But since it wasn't intentional,
    I don't believe the rules apply.
[18:13] Naberius
    Like I'd ever help this asshole on purpose!
[18:17] Naberius
    I'm tempted to see just how much
    he can heal from right now!
[18:22] Diana
    No, Naberius!
[18:25] Diana
    Right now, he's fighting in order to
    defend innocent people and his comrades.
[18:31] Diana
    The House of Blackbell would not attack
    someone carrying out that duty.
[18:37] Naberius
    Remember this...
[18:39] Naberius
    Your life was just saved by Diana's pride,
[18:43] Naberius
    which, at one point, you were
    dead set on trampling.
[18:46] Dantalion
    Taking women and children into war...
[18:50] Marbas
    Armored one, we helped you.
[18:53] Marbas
    Which means you are going to focus
    on protecting those two girls.
[18:59] Marbas
    You're a logical one.
[19:01] Marbas
    That means you'll choose
    the more advantageous option
[19:03] Marbas
    over one you're personally invested in.
[19:06] Sol
    How does this advantage me?
[19:09] Marbas
    We can beat him.
[19:11] Commander
    Very well, then.
[19:13] Dantalion
    A waste of effort...
[19:18] Marbas
    His contractor is badly injured.
[19:24] Marbas
    Add to that the strain of a limited release...
[19:27] Marbas
    He's bound to be reeling.
[19:30] Marbas
    He won't be able to keep
    this up for much longer.
[19:33] Marbas
    That will be our chance!
[19:37] Dantalion
    Luther!
[19:38] Marbas
    Now! The contractor is at his limit!
[19:41] Marbas
    Dantalion can't maintain his
    released form much longer!
[19:46] Luther
    Don't stop, Dantalion!
[19:49] Luther
    You're a general!
[19:50] Luther
    You keep fighting, even if
    your men are ground into dust!
[19:53] Luther
    That's what a war is, damn it!
[20:05] Naberius
    This is not looking good.
[20:07] Sol
    I can't keep healing...
[20:13] Dantalion
    It's a draw, for now.
[20:18] Dantalion
    We'll resume at your headquarters.
[20:23] Sol
    Impossible...
[20:25] Sol
    A demon forsaking victory
    to protect a human?
[20:30] Marbas
    Does that seem so odd?
[20:32] Marbas
    Then you haven't learned anything from
    your battle against Blackbell.
[20:36] Marbas
    The two of them share a bond.
[20:39] Marbas
    I knew that, if his contractor was on the verge
    of death, Dantalion would choose to leave.
[20:45] Marbas
    As if I would ever join forces with you
    without a guarantee of victory.
[20:50] Sol
    And he called this a draw?
[20:54] Sol
    I allow him to awaken his power,
    without realizing their so-called bond,
[20:58] Sol
    and it costs me how many lives?!
[21:02] Wis
    Commander...
[21:04] Wis
    I want to save my brother.
[21:07] Wis
    I don't want him to hurt
    his friends, or vice versa.
[21:11] Wis
    Which is why... I want you to
    take me to your headquarters.
[21:16] Sol
    Even if I refused,
[21:18] Sol
    I know you'd insist on following me.
[21:22] Sol
    First, I need to see to any survivors.
[21:25] Sol
    I'd prefer to offer last rites
    to the dead, too.
[21:29] Sol
    But there are many of my people
    at headquarters, as well.
[21:34] Iberta
    You've heard the situation we're in, people.
[21:39] Iberta
    The commander is rushing back to us,
[21:42] Iberta
    but the enemy is sure to arrive first.
[21:46] Iberta
    We're already on the verge
    of being surrounded,
[21:48] Iberta
    but at the same time, it's a rare
    opportunity to kill a great many demons.
[21:53] Iberta
    The elimination of demons is our goal
    as a group, and our contribution to society.
[21:59] Iberta
    I expect the best out of all of you!
[22:03] Iberta
    Fight your hardest!
[22:05] Iberta
    But do not die.
