**[00:05] Beholder**
Fushi rescues Bon just before his execution.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Bon**
Thanks for saving me, Fushi.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Fushi**
Saving you?
**[00:15] (Flashback) Fushi**
I did that?
**[00:16] Beholder**
Fushi bears witness to Bon's
first steps in his new life.
**[00:24] Beholder**
They spoke of the Nokkers' goals,
**[00:28] Beholder**
and warned of their next attack.
***SIGN*** Expanding Consciousness
**[02:16] Man A**
Monsters everywhere!
**[02:17] Man A**
We're surrounded!
**[02:19] Man B**
Lord, save us.
**[02:22] Fushi (Gugu)**
Cross the bridge!
**[02:23] Fushi (Gugu)**
Leave the town!
**[02:25] Fushi (Gugu)**
Run east!
**[02:26] Fushi (Gugu)**
Hurry!
**[02:27] Man C**
Everyone, head east!
**[02:37] Boy**
I'm scared, Sis.
**[02:39] Girl**
Hang in there until Father comes to get us.
**[02:45] Girl**
Father!
**[02:50] Girl**
No...
**[02:51] Boy**
We have to run, Sis!
**[02:59] Fushi (Sandel)**
Stay down!
**[03:05] Fushi (Sandel)**
Head to the wilds out east.
**[03:07] Fushi (Sandel)**
There are no Nokkers there.
**[03:09] Girl**
O-Okay.
**[03:10] Fushi (Sandel)**
Oh, hang on.
**[03:14] Fushi (Sandel)**
Sanitize those wounds.
**[03:16] Priest A**
Are you a doctor?
**[03:17] Priest A**
We need help!
**[03:19] Priest A**
Elder Gour of the Church of Bennett.
**[03:33] Fushi (Sandel)**
There's nothing I can do, but...
**[03:37] Fushi (Sandel)**
This'll help with the pain.
**[03:41] Gour**
Thank you.
**[03:44] Gour**
I appreciate it.
**[03:53] Fushi (Sandel)**
Evacuate to the east!
**[03:55] Priest A**
Thank you!
**[03:58] Fushi (Sandel)**
How many people are left?
**[04:01] Beholder**
22,000 people, concentrated in the center.
**[04:14] Hairo**
It isn't safe here!
**[04:15] Hairo**
Head back!
**[04:18] Fushi (Sandel)**
This is bad.
**[04:19] Hairo**
Yeah.
**[04:20] Hairo**
Everyone seems to believe
that God will save them.
**[04:25] Beholder**
Two of them have taken root.
**[04:28] Mob A**
What are we supposed to do?
**[04:31] Mob B**
Stop shoving!
**[04:32] Man C**
It's the Pontiff!
**[04:36] Pontiff**
This church is protected
by the power of faith.
**[04:41] Pontiff**
Let us all pray.
**[04:49] Voice (Male)**
Move in!
**[04:50] Voice (Male)**
Make some space!
**[04:52] Woman D**
Let us in!
**[04:53] Man E**
I can't! There's no more room!
**[04:56] Pontiff**
God has chosen.
**[04:58] Pontiff**
Close the door.
**[05:00] Fushi (Gour)**
Don't close the door!
**[05:02] Pontiff**
Elder Gour?
**[05:03] Fushi (Gour)**
The Nokkers are here!
**[05:05] Fushi (Gour)**
Get outside, quick!
**[05:07] Fushi (Gour)**
You'll be buried alive!
**[05:09] Man F**
Run!
**[05:10] Man G**
Get back!
**[05:23] Beholder**
The other one is underground.
**[05:32] Fushi (own voice)**
*Everyone...*
**[05:47] Fushi (own voice)**
*I have to blow up the underground.*
**[05:53] Fushi (own voice)**
*People!*
**[06:05] Woman H**
Someone, please, help me.
**[06:07] Fushi (Shin)**
Hang on, I'm coming!
**[06:12] Fushi (Parona)**
Get out here!
**[06:20] Beholder**
It got away.
**[06:21] Beholder**
There are 208 more.
**[06:48] Bon**
Where's the enemy? The Nokkers?
**[06:55] Bon**
"The Nokkers have lost."
**[06:59] Bon**
"But Fushi is weakened, too."
**[07:12] Fushi**
Hey.
**[07:13] Bon**
Fushi!
**[07:13] Bon**
Are you all right?
**[07:16] Kahaku**
"A message from the others."
**[07:22] Kahaku**
'If you want them back,
please come to our next game.'"
**[07:29] Bon**
They're calling it a "game"?
**[07:38] Priest B**
You there, heretics!
**[07:40] Priest B**
You're tarnishing the holy land of
the Church of Bennett! Leave at once!
**[07:44] Hairo**
Stop.
**[07:45] Hairo**
If you want to protect the holy land,
I suggest you take back those silly words.
**[07:52] Bon**
March.
**[07:53] Fushi**
I remember her.
**[07:55] Bon**
Parona.
**[08:00] Bon**
Tonari.
**[08:01] Fushi**
I remember her.
**[08:03] Bon**
Ligard.
**[08:06] Bon**
You lost Uroy, Gugu, Shin,
Parona, and Ligard.
**[08:10] Bon**
Are you sure you can't remember them?
**[08:23] Kahaku**
You wrote this yourself so you
wouldn't forget, didn't you?
**[08:26] Fushi**
It was pointless.
**[08:28] Fushi**
Seeing that doesn't make them
any more clear in my mind.
**[08:32] Bon**
The fire breather is a huge loss.
**[08:35] Kahaku**
They're going to keep coming.
**[08:38] Kahaku**
They took five in just one battle.
**[08:41] Kahaku**
Can we go on like this?
**[08:42] Fushi**
I'll get them back.
**[08:44] Bon**
Where are you going?
**[08:46] Fushi (Sandel)**
I still have some things to do.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Beholder**
It got away.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Beholder**
There are 208 more.
**[09:08] Fushi**
*What am I supposed to say to these people?*
**[09:16] Hairo**
I'm sure they'll be even happier on
the other side than they were here.
**[09:24] Fushi (Sandel)**
"I wish you happiness on the other side"...
**[09:27] Fushi**
*I can't possibly tell them that.*
**[09:30] Fushi (Sandel)**
Damn it!
**[09:31] Fushi (Sandel)**
Damn it, damn it!
**[09:34] Fushi**
I'm sorry.
**[09:42] Hairo**
Family?
**[09:44] Fushi (Sandel)**
No, I have none.
**[09:46] Hairo**
A lot of people left the church
after I spoke with you last night.
**[09:55] Hairo**
You helped them out, didn't you?
**[09:57] Hairo**
Thanks.
**[09:58] Fushi (Sandel)**
No, I haven't done anything.
**[10:02] Fushi (Sandel)**
If dying can make one happy,
why do we go on living?
**[10:08] Hairo**
To find the answer to that question.
**[10:12] Hairo**
That's just my own opinion,
which I came up with now.
**[10:16] Hairo**
Maybe someone has a better answer.
**[10:18] Bon**
You.
**[10:19] Bon**
Is your leg okay?
**[10:20] Bon**
You're hurt.
**[10:24] Bon**
You didn't notice?
**[10:27] Bon**
Come with me, then. We need to talk.
**[10:30] Fushi (Sandel)**
Use this.
**[10:32] Hairo**
Thanks.
**[10:33] Hairo**
Blessings upon you.
**[10:45] Kahaku**
This one has told me where the
Nokkers are attacking next.
**[10:52] Bon**
Hey, Fushi!
**[10:55] Kahaku**
Hold down the fort.
**[10:56] Bon**
Wait!
**[10:57] Bon**
Hold on!
**[11:01] Fen**
Do you think they would deliberately let him
take back the vessels they took from him?
**[11:06] Fen**
If I were them,
I would stay hidden underground.
**[11:24] Fushi**
Is this where they are?
**[11:25] Beholder**
Yeah.
**[11:41] Fushi (March)**
I should have obtained a
pigeon or something in town.
**[11:44] Beholder**
It's coming.
**[11:49] Fushi**
*There!*
**[11:54] Fushi**
*No strength!*
**[11:59] Fushi**
*Shoot!*
**[12:13] Fushi**
*Where are you?*
**[12:14] Fushi**
*Where the hell are you?*
**[12:20] Fushi**
*No you don't!*
**[12:25] Fushi**
*It's no use.*
**[12:26] Fushi**
*I can't...*
**[12:29] Fushi**
*win here.*
**[12:37] Fushi**
*Someone...*
**[12:47] Fushi**
*A horse! How?*
**[13:08] Fushi**
*Ow...*
**[13:11] Fushi**
*Did this horse come to help me?*
**[13:22] Fushi**
What the?
**[13:24] Fushi**
I made that horse from your flesh.
**[13:27] Fushi**
It doesn't have your ability to
obtain, but it's quite resilient.
**[13:31] Fushi**
You *made* it?
**[13:32] Beholder**
I've had it prepared for a while now,
**[13:34] Beholder**
with the intention of giving
it to you when you needed it.
**[13:38] Fushi**
I don't know what to do with this horse.
**[13:41] Fushi**
The problem now is the Nokkers.
**[13:43] Fushi**
I have to stop them.
**[13:48] Fushi**
Ow!
**[13:49] Fushi**
What was that for?
**[13:54] Fushi (Wolf)**
Cut it out!
**[13:55] Fushi (Wolf)**
I won't take care of you!
**[13:59] Fushi (Wolf)**
Are you telling me not to go?
**[14:05] Fushi**
It's true that I wouldn't
win if I just charged in.
**[14:09] Fushi**
But what do I do?
**[14:11] Fushi**
*There's no way I can move in that sludge.*
**[14:15] Fushi**
*It impales me effortlessly every time.*
**[14:18] Fushi**
*This might stop it.*
**[14:20] Fushi**
*Come to think of it...*
**[14:21] Fushi**
* The Nokkers never attacked when*
* I was imprisoned in iron.*
**[14:26] Fushi**
*Maybe they can't get through iron.*
**[14:29] Fushi**
*But how do I attack?*
**[14:32] Fushi**
* Gunpowder arrows won't work*
* at the bottom of the pit.*
**[14:35] Fushi**
* If I could at least figure*
* out where they're hiding...*
**[14:39] Fushi**
Black One, do I have your ability
to know where the Nokkers are, too?
**[14:44] Beholder**
Yeah.
**[14:45] Beholder**
But in order to use it, you need
to widen your field of awareness.
**[14:49] Fushi**
Say what?
**[14:50] Beholder**
I'll teach you.
**[14:52] Beholder**
Close your eyes.
**[14:59] Beholder**
I removed a part of you.
**[15:01] Beholder**
Try to guess where it is.
**[15:02] Fushi**
Huh?
**[15:03] Fushi**
That didn't hurt at all.
**[15:05] Beholder**
Concentrate, and you'll know.
**[15:07] Fushi**
*Concentrate...*
**[15:17] Fushi**
At the end of the rope?
**[15:21] Beholder**
Correct.
**[15:23] Beholder**
Look at this thin membrane.
**[15:26] Fushi**
Oh, it's connected to me.
**[15:28] Fushi**
On my gloves and stuff, too.
**[15:31] Beholder**
There are exceptions, but the things
you create are connected to you.
**[15:36] Beholder**
You can make more things at the
end of whatever the membrane is on.
**[15:41] Beholder**
And this is proportional to
your field of awareness.
**[15:44] Beholder**
If you become capable of creating
earth mass at the end of it,
**[15:48] Beholder**
that place will be entirely
your own territory.
**[15:51] Fushi**
Wh-Which means, if I could make a huge ship,
**[15:56] Fushi**
I could sense everything
touching it that isn't me?
**[16:00] Beholder**
So long as it's connected to the ship.
**[16:04] Beholder**
With training, your senses
will become more acute.
**[16:07] Fushi**
In that case...
**[16:10] Fushi**
*I don't sense mud and water as much.*
**[16:13] Fushi**
*I couldn't create that entire swamp.*
**[16:16] Fushi**
*What I can make is rocks and branches.*
**[16:19] Fushi**
*Where do I go from here?*
**[16:21] Fushi**
*How do I fight the Nokkers in the swamp?*
**[16:25] Fushi**
You caught this?
**[16:26] Fushi**
Sorry, but I don't like fish.
**[16:34] Fushi**
Wow, so you're good at catching fish, huh?
**[16:38] Fushi**
You're like...
**[16:43] Fushi**
You're like...
**[16:47] Fushi**
*That's it!*
**[16:49] Fushi**
*This would do it!*
**[16:58] Fushi**
Nokkers!
**[16:59] Fushi**
I'm back, as you wanted!
**[17:01] Fushi**
Come and take me!
**[17:12] Fushi**
There you are.
**[17:14] Fushi**
I'll scoop you out whole.
**[17:22] Beholder**
* That place will be entirely*
* your own territory.*
**[17:30] Fushi**
I did it.
**[17:31] Fushi**
I finally did it.
**[17:33] Fushi**
Pioran...
**[17:39] Fushi**
Thanks, horse.
**[17:41] Kahaku**
Fushi!
**[17:42] Kahaku**
I've been looking for you.
**[17:45] Kahaku**
I brought these.
**[17:47] Kahaku**
Use them, please.
**[17:49] Fushi**
Thanks.
**[17:50] Fushi**
But I already killed it.
**[17:52] Kahaku**
I see.
**[17:54] Kahaku**
That's great.
**[17:55] Kahaku**
You have all your memories back, then.
**[17:58] Fushi**
No.
**[18:00] Fushi**
You liar.
**[18:01] Fushi**
You fooled me.
**[18:02] Kahaku**
What do you mean?
**[18:04] Fushi**
This thing's information was nonsense.
**[18:06] Fushi**
The Nokker here wasn't the
one that stole my vessels.
**[18:10] Kahaku**
But that's...
**[18:14] Kahaku**
"I'm sorry. They deceived me, too."
**[18:19] Fushi**
I don't know about that.
**[18:21] Fushi**
You could be making that up.
**[18:22] Bon**
You're right.
**[18:24] Bon**
Did Mister Black not tell you anything?
**[18:28] Fushi**
He didn't. Even though he probably knew.
**[18:31] Fushi**
Typical of him.
**[18:34] Kahaku**
It says it's attacking the
city of Bisseigh next.
**[18:40] Bon**
Slow down. We'll send our forces from Uralis.
**[18:43] Fushi**
They won't get there in time.
**[18:44] Bon**
How many more vessels do you plan
on losing in the next battle?
**[18:47] Fushi**
I don't plan on losing any.
**[18:49] Fushi**
Are you telling me not to do anything?
**[18:52] Bon**
You need to get stronger first
so you can protect yourself.
**[18:55] Bon**
You can join the battle after.
**[18:58] Fushi**
Are you telling me to watch people die
for my sake, when I have infinite life?
**[19:02] Fushi**
Why should I let you tie me down so much?
**[19:05] Bon**
The people you've forgotten
keep nagging me to stop you!
**[19:10] Fushi**
What?
**[19:11] Beholder**
It seems there was another.
**[19:13] Beholder**
It's coming.
**[19:14] Fushi**
Nokkers!
**[19:17] Kahaku**
I shall fight.
**[19:20] Bon**
Kahaku... Are you serious?
**[19:22] Kahaku**
Can you do it, my left hand?
**[19:26] Kahaku**
Defeat it and redeem yourself!
**[19:34] Kahaku**
Fushi!
**[19:35] Kahaku**
Bastard!
**[19:45] Fushi**
That was amazing, Kahaku!
**[19:47] Bon**
Not bad!
**[19:49] Kahaku**
Yes.
**[19:56] Fushi**
"A message from them."
**[19:59] Bon**
"We will be going to save the
people of Renril in a year."
**[20:05] Bon**
"We invite you to come."
**[20:07] Bon**
"If you don't come..."
**[20:11] Bon**
"We will kill Kahaku and
this traitorous Nokker."
**[20:19] Bon**
Renril is the largest city on the continent.
**[20:22] Bon**
If they show up there,
more than a hundred thousand will die.
**[20:28] Fushi**
A hundred thousand?!
**[20:29] Bon**
We aren't that strong, and we die easily.
**[20:34] Bon**
When will the battle end?
**[20:36] Bon**
Likely never.
**[20:38] Bon**
Even if it does, it'll be
after we're all dead.
**[20:42] Bon**
So what do we do?
**[20:43] Bon**
We need to bet on the future!
**[20:45] Bon**
What are we betting?
**[20:47] Bon**
People's lives!
**[20:49] Bon**
Fushi, as long as you're in
good shape, we can fight back.
**[20:54] Bon**
Don't let them take from you the fact
that people have bet their lives on you.
**[20:58] Bon**
Don't forget them!
**[21:00] Fushi**
All right.
**[21:01] Bon**
Let's make a plan.
**[21:03] Bon**
What do you need to work on?
**[21:05] Fushi**
Making bigger things.
**[21:08] Kahaku**
Bigger things?
**[21:10] Fushi**
Ships, for example.
**[21:12] Fushi**
That'll give me an advantage
against the Nokkers.
**[21:15] Bon**
All right.
**[21:16] Bon**
I'll prepare everything we need.
**[21:18] Bon**
Let's accomplish it in three months.
**[21:20] Fushi**
Three months?
**[21:22] Bon**
Yeah.
**[21:23] Bon**
Until then, you're going to
focus on getting stronger.
**[21:25] Bon**
Leave fighting the Nokkers and evacuating
the citizens of Renril to me.
**[21:32] Bon**
Agreed?
**[21:36] Bon**
We moved materials here a long time ago
with the intention of starting a town,
**[21:40] Bon**
but our plans fell through.
**[21:43] Bon**
It's been abandoned here since.
**[21:45] Bon**
You can use the things inside as you like.
**[21:48] Fushi**
Really?!
**[21:50] Bon**
Yeah.
**[21:51] Bon**
This is your new base.
**[21:53] Bon**
Send this bird over if you
ever need anything.
**[21:55] Bon**
He'll arrive in Uralis.
**[21:57] Fushi**
Thanks.
**[21:58] Fushi**
I'll work hard.
**[22:00] Bon**
Yeah.
**[22:01] Kahaku**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[22:02] Kahaku**
I'll be returning to Uralis, but I'll be back.
**[22:06] Fushi**
Don't die on me, Kahaku.
**[22:09] Kahaku**
Right.
**[22:30] Fushi**
There are still animals here?
**[22:40] Fushi**
I need to make good use of the
time Bon and Kahaku made for me.
**[22:46] Fushi**
I have to be strong, starting today.
**[22:51] Fushi**
Sorry.
**[22:52] Fushi**
I forgot you were here, too.
**[22:55] Fushi**
Let's do this together.
