[00:01] Narrator
    The new continent of Patria.
[00:04] Narrator
    One hundred years after immigrants
[00:07] Narrator
    from the old continent established
    a new democratic nation here,
[00:10] Narrator
    the discovery of a new energy ore
    called Somnium caused conflict
[00:15] Narrator
    between the Northern City of Industry
    and the Southern City of Mining,
[00:19] Narrator
    which erupted into civil war,
    splitting the nation.
[00:33] Narrator
    The civil war that split the nation into
[00:36] Narrator
    the Northern Union of Patria and the
    Southern Confederation of Patria
[00:39] Narrator
    was dominated by the south,
    as they far outnumbered the north.
[00:44] Guy
    Charge!
[00:48] Guy
    Fire!
[01:09] Guy
    Keep advancing!
[01:21] Guy
    The company commander is down!
[02:05] Hank
    Commence attack!
[02:44] Men
    Fire!
[02:45] ---
    Don't let them get inside!
[02:47] Men
    Fire!
[02:50] ---
    What's that?!
[02:51] Guy
    Something's there!
[03:06] Guy
    Stay back! Stay away from me, you monster!
[03:10] Guy
    Fire! Fire everything you've got!
[03:58] Narrator
    Fearing defeat, the Northern government
[04:01] Narrator
    used a forbidden technology to turn the tide
[04:07] Narrator
    by creating unique soldiers.
[04:11] Narrator
    Hideous-looking soldiers who overran
    the battlefield in the blink of an eye.
[04:18] Narrator
    The people likened them to gods,
    and called them "Incarnates."
[04:32] Guy
    To think you captured a fortress that was
    considered impregnable this easily...
[04:37] Guy
    So the rumors about you were true,
    Special Sergeant Major Henriette.
[04:41] Hank
    You honor me, Major.
[04:43] Hank
    But due to our late arrival,
    many of our men lost their lives.
[04:46] Major
    Oh, don't you worry about that.
[04:48] Major
    They gave their lives to help
    secure the North's victory.
[04:51] Major
    What greater honor is there?
[04:53] Major
    Anyway, good work out there.
[04:56] Major
    Get some rest before the next mission.
[04:57] Both
    Yes, sir!
[05:02] Guy
    Incarnates are the product
    of top-secret research...
[05:05] Guy
    Can they really be trusted?
[05:09] Major
    They're nothing more than
    weapons, Lieutenant.
[05:11] Major
    We just have to use them properly.
[05:17] Hank
    We're coming in, Elaine.
[05:19] Elaine
    Come in.
[05:22] Elaine
    Thank goodness you're safe.
[05:24] Elaine
    I'm glad to see you, Hank and Cain.
[05:27] Cain
    If that major was the one
    directing us out there,
[05:30] Cain
    we may have had the honor
    of dying on the battlefield.
[05:33] Elaine
    Come on, now. You'll get in
    trouble if someone hears you.
[05:36] Hank
    So, how did the soldiers look?
[05:38] Elaine
    There were only a few whose symptoms
    showed progression in this last battle.
[05:43] Hank
    I see.
[05:45] Elaine
    I'll figure something out. I'm the one
    who created the Incarnates, after all.
[05:49] Elaine
    I swear I will.
[05:52] Hank
    Don't worry. All of our men believe in you.
[05:55] Hank
    Of course, that goes for me, too.
[06:03] Elaine
    Thank you, Hank.
[06:11] Cain
    So, uh...
[06:13] Hank
    Right, well, I'm gonna go check on the others!
[06:16] Cain
    For crying out loud...
[06:18] Cain
    Guess he's still the same snot-nosed kid.
[06:31] Roy
    So your daughter Schaal is running
    the orphanage on her own now?
[06:37] Will
    I lost my wife when Schaal
    was still very young.
[06:41] Will
    She does a wonderful job.
[06:43] Elizabeth
    You seem very proud of her.
[06:45] Will
    I am.
[06:46] Roy
    Man... I wanna have a family
    with a girl like that someday.
[06:52] Roy
    I know! Introduce me to Schaal—
[06:54] Edgar
    Will, you'd best pick anyone but Roy.
[06:57] Edgar
    If someone doesn't live up to his ideals,
    he'll pin all the blame right on them.
[07:02] Roy
    I think you're talking about
    your wife who ran off, Eddie!
[07:05] Will
    When the war's over,
    you should all come visit.
[07:08] Will
    My daughter and the kids would be thrilled.
[07:09] Roy
    Hell yes!
[07:10] Edgar
    Hey, are you sure about that?
[07:12] Roy
    Captain!
[07:14] Hank
    At ease.
[07:17] Hank
    What's up, Roy?
[07:20] Hank
    You seem to be in a good mood.
[07:21] Roy
    Take a look at Will's daughter, Captain.
[07:24] Roy
    He's gonna introduce me to her!
[07:25] Trice
    Ooh, let me see!
[07:26] Roy
    He says she's a really good girl
    who cares about her family!
[07:27] Abi
    Wow, she's cute.
[07:28] Trice
    She really is!
[07:29] Hank
    Is that right?
[07:30] Will
    Sorry. I might be a bit biased.
[07:33] Roy
    I just know it.
[07:34] Roy
    She's gonna grow up to be
    a beautiful young woman.
[07:37] Hank
    That's something to look forward to.
[07:39] Trice
    What? I thought you only had
    eyes for Doctor Elaine, Captain.
[07:43] Elizabeth
    You shouldn't cheat on her, Captain.
[07:45] Roy
    Yeah, Captain! Schaal is my—
[07:49] Roy
    What about Elaine?!
[07:51] Hank
    Wh-What do you mean?
[07:54] Abi
    I was wondering about that, too.
[07:55] Edgar
    She might run away if you wait too long.
[07:56] Trice
    Me, too!
[07:56] Miles
    Better shape up.
[07:56] Will
    The doctor might be waiting for you
    to approach her, too, Captain.
[08:01] Hank
    I'll...
[08:04] Hank
    I'll think about it when the war's over...
[08:11] Cain
    What's going on? It looks like everyone's here.
[08:13] Hank
    Cain! Ela—
[08:15] Roy
    Deputy Captain, listen to this!
    The captain and the doc—
[08:19] Hank
    It's nothing!
[08:20] Elaine
    What's this about me?
[08:21] Hank
    Uh, it's nothing!
[08:22] Trice
    Take some initiative, Captain!
[08:23] Cain
    What are you guys talking about?
[08:24] Abi
    Yeah!
[08:24] Hank
    Nothing!
[08:25] Elizabeth
    Captain, Roy is foaming at the mouth.
[08:25] Edgar
    You fail as captain.
[08:35] ---
    It's...
[08:36] Guy
    The Incarnates!
[09:53] Cain
    We settled this faster than expected.
[09:56] Hank
    Yeah.
[10:22] Guy
    What is this?
[10:28] Trice
    Abi, what are you doing?!
[10:29] Edgar
    Calm down, Abi!
[10:29] Danny
    Abi, stop!
[10:33] ---
    Help!
[10:33] Guy
    Prepare the cannons! Hurry!
[10:35] Hank
    Abi, stop!
[10:41] Cain
    Hank, it's too dangerous!
[10:43] Hank
    Abi!
[10:46] Hank
    Why are you doing this?
[10:48] Abi
    Captain...
[10:51] Abi
    No... It's not me...
[10:54] Abi
    Please... stop me.
[10:59] Guy
    Fire! Shoot him dead!
[11:04] Hank
    Abi!
[11:13] Hank
    Abi! Are you all right?
[11:16] Abi
    No... It's not me...
[11:19] Abi
    It's something el—
[11:21] Hank
    Medic!
[11:26] Hank
    Someone! Get a medic over here!
[11:30] Abi
    I... I'm sorry...
[11:34] Hank
    Abi, don't!
[11:49] Roy
    Am I going to end up like Abi someday?
[11:52] Will
    No way...
[11:53] Theo
    No... I'm scared.
[11:55] Topher
    Shut up, Theo!
[11:58] Elaine
    A while back, he said...
[12:02] (Flashback) Abi
    Lately, when I fight as an Incarnate,
[12:05] (Flashback) Abi
    I start wondering which one is the real me.
[12:09] (Flashback) Elaine
    What?
[12:10] (Flashback) Abi
    I wonder if, someday, I won't be
    able to turn back into a human...
[12:13] (Flashback) Elaine
    Abi?
[12:14] (Flashback) Abi
    Just kidding!
[12:16] (Flashback) Abi
    Sorry for being all weird.
[12:19] Elaine
    Something must have already been
    happening to him back then.
[12:23] Elaine
    I even realized that...
[12:26] Elaine
    But I couldn't do anything.
[12:30] Cain
    Is there a possibility that this
    could happen to all of us?
[12:34] Elaine
    I'm not sure... I really don't know. I'm sorry.
[12:39] Hank
    Elaine...
[13:12] Hank
    Listen up, everyone.
[13:14] Hank
    We still don't know what
    made Abi go berserk.
[13:18] Hank
    There's still a lot we don't know
    about the power of Incarnates.
[13:21] Hank
    There is a possibility that what happened
    to Abi could eventually happen to us.
[13:26] Hank
    But we are not beasts!
[13:28] Hank
    We are Incarnates, and we
    have our own will and pride!
[13:31] Hank
    So right here, right now,
    we will swear an oath.
[13:36] Hank
    Those who have lost their souls
[13:38] Hank
    shall be slain by their own.
[13:43] Hank
    If something similar ever happens again,
[13:46] Hank
    we should be the ones to stop it.
[13:49] Hank
    To make sure all the fighting we've done
    to end this war wasn't for nothing,
[13:53] Hank
    let's all face this together.
[13:56] Hank
    We are never alone!
[13:59] Hank
    Please don't forget that.
[14:48] Hank
    I thank you all for enduring
     this highly demanding mission.
[14:52] Hank
    Tomorrow is finally the day
    we capture the capital.
[14:54] Hank
    This will be our most intense fight yet.
[14:57] Hank
    But if we make it through this...
[15:05] Hank
    Once this war is over, I'm...
[15:09] Hank
    I'm going to ask Elaine to be with me.
[15:11] Hank
    And I want all of you here
    to celebrate with me.
[15:15] Hank
    Captain's orders.
[15:19] Hank
    Let's all come back alive.
[15:24] All
    Yeah!
[15:25] Roy
    We can't be dying now!
[15:27] Edgar
    Let's hurry up and get this war over with!
[15:32] Cain
    Hank...
[15:34] Cain
    Don't overwork yourself.
[15:36] Hank
    Tomorrow's going to be an all-out battle.
[15:38] Hank
    I want to do everything I possibly can.
[15:41] Cain
    All the battles we were assigned
    to were lost causes.
[15:45] Cain
    We may be Incarnates,
     but surviving wasn't easy.
[15:50] Cain
    We only made it this far
    because you're our captain.
[15:55] Cain
    I couldn't have asked for anyone better.
[15:56] Hank
    No, that's not it.
[15:59] Hank
    It's because you all believed in me
    that I was able to get us this far.
[16:03] Hank
    It's everyone in the squad...
[16:05] Hank
    as well as you and Elaine who made
    it possible for me to be the captain.
[16:10] Cain
    Figures you'd say that.
[16:12] Cain
    Do you remember when the
    three of us first met?
[16:16] Hank
    Yeah.
[16:16] Hank
    Who would have thought that war orphans
    like us could become best friends
[16:20] Hank
    with a little rich boy from a
    distinguished family like you?
[16:23] Cain
    Indeed.
[16:26] Cain
    Hank, take good care of Elaine.
[16:29] Cain
    She's trying to deal with everything
    on her own, and it's crushing her.
[16:34] Cain
    You're the only one who can support her.
[16:39] Hank
    Elaine, it's me.
[16:46] Hank
    What did you want to talk about?
[16:48] Elaine
    Hank, this war will soon be over.
[16:53] Elaine
    Tomorrow's operation will probably
    be called off right before it begins.
[16:57] Elaine
    HQ has been moving forward with
    top-secret ceasefire negotiations.
[17:01] Elaine
    The draft of the peace treaty
     is already complete.
[17:04] Elaine
    This country that was split into north
    and south is about to become one again.
[17:08] Hank
    Are you sure?
[17:09] Elaine
    Yes.
[17:17] Hank
    I see...
[17:19] Hank
    Peace will finally be upon us...
[17:24] Elaine
    But we'll have no place in that peace.
[17:28] Hank
    What do you mean?
[17:40] Hank
    Elai—
[17:45] Hank
    What... My body... won't move...
[17:50] Elaine
    People who have become Incarnates will
    eventually lose not only their human forms,
[17:55] Elaine
    but their souls, as well.
[17:57] Elaine
    Every last one of them...
    including you, Hank.
[18:03] Elaine
    When that happens, you'll lose all reason
[18:07] Elaine
    and become unable to control your powers.
[18:10] Elaine
    I tried to find a way to avoid that,
[18:14] Elaine
    but I failed.
[18:17] Elaine
    If you all lose your human souls,
[18:21] Elaine
    you'll be a greater threat
    than this war ever was.
[18:25] Elaine
    Before that happens, I need to do my duty
[18:30] Elaine
    as the one who created the Incarnates.
[18:33] Elaine
    I can't let you all turn into beasts.
[18:37] Elaine
    Hank, you're too kind,
    so you'd probably try to stop me.
[18:41] Elaine
    You'd make me hesitate...
[18:44] Elaine
    So...
[18:49] Elaine
    Don't worry... I'll be following you soon.
[19:00] Hank
    Cain...
[19:07] Elaine
    I'm sorry to have you help me with
    something I should be doing on my own.
[19:13] Elaine
    As planned, we're going to
    kill everyone in the squad.
[19:17] Elaine
    With these bullets, they should
    die without suffering.
[19:21] Elaine
    And then, when you and I die as well,
[19:24] Elaine
    everyone involved with the
    Incarnates will be gone.
[19:28] Cain
    No...
[20:21] Liza
    You actually woke up!
[20:24] Liza
    Incarnates sure are resilient...
[20:28] Hank
    Where am I?
[20:29] Liza
    The military hospital.
[20:30] Liza
    I'm Second Lieutenant Liza Renecastle,
    and I work for
[20:33] Liza
    the Patria Union's military intelligence.
[20:35] Liza
    It's a pleasure to meet you,
    Special Sergeant Major Hank Henriette.
[20:39] Liza
    You've been in a coma for two months.
[20:42] Hank
    Two months?
[20:43] Liza
    Yes. The war's long over, too.
[20:50] Hank
    What happened to my squad?! To Elaine?!
[20:53] Liza
    I'm actually here because
    I need to ask you about that.
[20:58] Liza
    The day you were found on the verge of death,
[21:00] Liza
    Doctor Elaine Bluelake also disappeared
    and has been missing ever since.
[21:04] Liza
    The Incarnates squad was disbanded
[21:07] Liza
    and sent off to go wherever they
    wanted by Cain Madhouse.
[21:11] Liza
    But...
[21:12] Liza
    Most of them started losing their sanity
[21:15] Liza
    and causing destruction
    wherever they went.
[21:18] Liza
    Many people have died.
[21:20] Liza
    The Incarnates, once regarded as gods,
[21:23] Liza
    are now feared by the people...
[21:27] Liza
    What in the world is going on?
    You must know something.
[21:31] Hank
    Where is Cain?
[21:34] Liza
    We lost contact with him shortly
    after the last battle.
[21:44] Hank
    Cain!
[22:09] Someone
    Help me!
[22:13] Edgar
    Edgar Beckford.
[22:18] Edgar
    I heard you've been going around killing
    your former comrades, Captain Hank.
[22:27] Hank
    Those who have lost their souls
    shall be slain by their own.
[22:31] Hank
    I came to fulfill our oath from that day!
[22:34] Edgar
    We became war heroes thanks to this power.
[22:37] Edgar
    No, we became gods!
[22:39] Edgar
    What's wrong with killing humans
    who defy the will of the gods?!
[22:46] Hank
    Eddie! We have never been gods!
    Not in the past, and not now!
[22:51] Hank
    And if we lose our souls,
[22:53] Hank
    we're nothing more than beasts!
[23:25] Schaal
    Tea time, everyone!
[23:27] Guy
    Will is this town's hero.
[23:29] Guy
    I'm home, Mom.
[23:31] Schaal
    He killed my father...
[23:34] Will
    When the time comes for you to pull the
    trigger, I know you'll be able to do it.
