[00:01] Emily
    Let me out. Someone let me out.
[00:13] Traveler
    Who are you?
[00:15] Cassano
    Are you a traveler who
    was deceived by Emily?
[00:18] Traveler
    If you know that, then...
[00:21] Cassano
    I'm not a traveler.
[00:23] Cassano
    I came here...
[00:26] Cassano
    to free her from this place.
[00:39] Traveler
    This is Emily?
[00:42] Cassano
    The researchers who joined forces with FUG
[00:45] Cassano
    began two research projects
    related to Ignition Weapons.
[00:49] Cassano
    One was to turn a living human into
    an Ignition Weapon, and the other...
[00:57] Cassano
    was to dissolve a person who
    had become an Ignition Weapon.
[01:03] Cassano
    Both projects were a success.
[01:06] Cassano
    The researchers planned to dispose of
    everything once the experiments concluded,
[01:10] Cassano
    but a female researcher opposed the idea,
[01:12] Cassano
    and Emily was allowed
    to live inside a flask.
[01:17] Cassano
    The two Workshop Battle hosts
    approached the female researcher,
[01:21] Cassano
    used their position
[01:24] Cassano
    to trap Emily inside a giant tank,
    and built equipment to control her.
[01:30] Cassano
    Their goal was to use Emily to gather the
    people they needed for their research.
[01:36] Cassano
    But their ultimate goal was total control
    over the residents of the Tower.
[01:42] Cassano
    In order to gather funds to distribute
    devices and conduct their research,
[01:47] Cassano
    they allied with a merchant group
[01:48] Cassano
    and allowed them to interfere
    with the Workshop Battle.
[01:53] Cassano
    After the Workshop Battle ends,
    in order to secretly transport Emily,
[01:58] Cassano
    they were to receive this hyper-compression
    flask from the merchants...
[02:02] Traveler
    Um, this isn't Emily.
[02:05] Traveler
    She said she's alive and trapped inside a tank.
[02:10] Traveler
    She asked for help!
[02:11] Cassano
    Those were all lies told to lure you all here.
[02:17] Traveler
    No...
[02:19] Cassano
    Or maybe it's the fantasy of a girl
    who still believes she's alive.
[02:28] Traveler
    They'll pay for this.
[02:30] Cassano
    I will use this power
[02:31] Cassano
    to change this absurd Tower.
[02:45] Horyang
    Cassano...

SIGN    Return of the King
[04:31] Rak
    A way to kill that smoky bastard?!
[04:34] Aguero
    Keep your voice down.
[04:35] Aguero
    We don't want him to know what we're up to.
[04:37] Rak
    Just hurry up and tell me how to do it!
[04:41] Aguero
    Did you buy that spear at the shop?
[04:43] Rak
    Yeah. More importantly—
[04:46] Aguero
    What's its name?
[04:48] Rak
    I think it was... Mad Shocker?
[04:53] Aguero
    You idiot! That's a projectile!
[04:55] Rak
    Pro...jectile? What?!
[05:00] Aguero
    No, maybe that's good for now.
[05:02] Rak
    "Good"?
[05:04] Aguero
    Listen closely. When I give the signal,
    throw that thing along my Lighthouse.
[05:08] Aguero
    You got that?
[05:09] Aguero
    Let's finish this quickly...
[05:12] Aguero
    so the three of us can go home.
[05:24] Reflejo
    Finally, our millennia-old desire...
[05:27] Aguero
    Now, gator!
[05:28] Rak
    I'm not an alligator!
[05:30] Rak
    Take this!
[05:35] Reflejo/Id
    It teleported?
[05:41] Reflejo
    Have you forgotten?
[05:42] Rak
    You bastard!
[05:49] Reflejo
    Have you forsaken the hostage?
[05:52] Aguero
    Normally I would, but...
[05:55] Reflejo
    The White Heavenly Mirror?!
[06:02] Aguero
    Anyone whose heart is pierced
    by this blade is sealed inside it.
[06:08] Aguero
    You should be more careful
    with your hostages.
[06:13] Reflejo
    I never needed a hostage to fight you anyway!
[06:17] Reflejo
    I'll kill you!
[06:22] Aguero/Id
    Are you ready yet, Bam?
[06:27] Reflejo
    Die!
[06:28] Rak
    Blue turtle!
[06:35] Aguero
    Finally.
[06:42] Aguero/Id
    Bam?
[06:50] Xia Xia
    What a mess.
[06:52] Xia Xia
    Should I tell Viole?
[06:54] Xia Xia
    No, FUG is paying me.
[06:56] Xia Xia
    But I need Viole...
[06:59] Yihwa
    Horyang!
[07:01] Yihwa
    Horyang!
[07:04] Akraptor
    He's not here, either.
[07:15] Hatz
    Endorsi, change of plans.
[07:18] Hatz
    Buying time doesn't suit us.
[07:21] Hatz
    So let's take them down quickly
    and walk away from this place.
[07:27] Hatz
    It's my new sword. Don't underestimate it.
[07:31] Endorsi
    That's fine with me,
    but where did this come from?
[07:35] Hatz
    You've heard why FUG trained
    Bam into Viole, haven't you?
[07:48] Endorsi
    In other words, you feel like
    teaching them a lesson?
[07:54] Endorsi
    Now that you mention it,
    you blonde traitorous scumbag...
[07:59] Endorsi
    Don't you dare smile in my presence!
[08:04] Mei
    Gosh, you're such dummies.
[08:06] Mei
    You two don't stand a chance
    against the Mad Dog.
[08:18] Mei
    Idiots! That'll never work.
[08:21] Hatz
    No, it worked against the dogs around him.
[08:27] Varagarv
    You're even dumber than I thought.
[08:30] Endorsi
    Quit yapping and follow me, you mongrel!
[08:38] Varagarv
    Don't tell me...
[08:39] Endorsi
    You may be unbeatable, but if you're
    attacked and fall from this height...
[08:44] Endorsi
    Right?
[08:46] Endorsi
    Now, it's time to end this...
[08:52] Endorsi
    so I can go on my date!
[09:00] Aguero
    The Thorn showed itself...
[09:02] Rak
    Black turtle, are you all right?
[09:04] Viole
    Yes.
[09:25] Poken
    I shall grant you my shadow.
[09:28] Poken
    As one who had everything taken from him
    by the Ten Families, you deserve it.
[09:33] Poken
    Power is granted to those worthy of it.
[09:38] Reflejo
    Allow me to test you.
[09:42] Reflejo
    To see if you're worthy
    of wielding that power!
[09:49] Reflejo
    You cannot evade this ability.
[09:53] Viole/Id
    Then I'll have to stop it!
[09:55] Reflejo
    I told you, you can't control me!
[10:09] Rak
    I thought he couldn't be controlled.
[10:11] Aguero
    The unleashed Thorn stopped
    his unstable flow.
[10:16] Aguero
    He's clearly become stronger.
[10:20] Reflejo
    So you were chosen.
[10:23] (Flashback) Poken
    It's time.
[10:25] (Flashback) Poken
    You will work with the agents of the Elders
[10:27] (Flashback) Poken
    to complete the Thorn
    at the Workshop Battle.
[10:31] (Flashback) Reflejo
    Finally, our greatest wish
    will be fulfilled...
[10:34] Reflejo
    That power should be given
    to one truly worthy of it.
[10:39] Reflejo
    I can tell. You are...
[10:45] Reflejo
    not our god.
[10:48] Viole
    No, I am not your god,
[10:51] Viole
    because your god is a fantasy
    created by your weakness.
[10:56] Reflejo
    You brat.
[10:58] Reflejo
    Die!
[10:59] Aguero
    I don't think so!
[11:00] Aguero
    Gator!
[11:01] Rak
    I'm not an alligator!
[11:02] Rak
    I am the great Rak Wraithraiser!
[11:07] Viole
    You called me your god,
    and then you rejected me!
[11:10] Viole
    I've had enough of pretending to be a god!
[11:32] Endorsi
    They weren't kidding about
    you having a body of steel.
[11:37] Madoraco
    Endorsi Jahad...
[11:39] Madoraco
    So Reflejo ended in failure.
    How disappointing.
[11:44] Madoraco
    We shall fulfill your greatest wish.
[11:52] Rak
    Are you all right, black turtle?
[11:55] Viole
    Yes.
[11:56] Aguero
    The burden on your body
    must still be significant.
[12:01] Reflejo
    Gods sometimes construct fates
    that I cannot laugh about.
[12:07] Reflejo
    Power has been granted
    to one who is unworthy.
[12:11] Aguero
    His eyes...
[12:13] Reflejo
    If God has made a mistake,
    then I must simply correct it.
[12:18] Reflejo
    My eyes! My eyes!
[12:22] Reflejo/Id
    My heart wavered for just a moment
    when I saw that brilliant beauty.
[12:29] Reflejo/Id
    As punishment for looking upon a princess
    of the Ten Families with my unworthy eyes,
[12:32] Reflejo/Id
    I lost both eyes and my family.
[12:37] Reflejo/Id
    I could never accept how someone
    so cruel possessed such beauty.
[12:48] (Flashback) Poken
    Power is granted to those worthy of it.
[12:54] Reflejo
    A solution will be poured
    over this area shortly.
[12:58] Aguero
    They're going to melt the Thorn?
[13:02] Reflejo
    You will die with me,
    along with our greatest wish!
[13:10] Hatz
    Stop what you're doing.
[13:13] Hatz
    Abandon the match or else.
[13:16] Mei
    How brazen of you, swordsman.
[13:19] Hatz
    I'm just brazenly doing
    the same thing you did.
[13:23] Endorsi
    Can't you tell?
[13:26] Endorsi
    We've won, Mr. Strongest E-Rank Ranker.
[13:33] Mei
    Fine. We lost this time.
[13:36] Mei
    Anyway, why don't you go run to your friends?
[13:40] Mei
    The man you're supposed to go on
    your date with is about to die.
[13:44] Endorsi
    What is that?
[13:46] Aguero
    Hurry! We're getting out of here!
[13:50] Rak
    Hey! We can't get out!
[13:52] Viole
    Did you plan this from the start?
[13:55] Aguero
    Shibisu, have you found the hostages?
[13:58] Shibisu
    Not yet. What about you?
[13:59] Aguero
    We have a problem.
[14:00] Aguero
    The solution will be poured soon.
[14:02] Aguero
    If we don't get out of here
    right now, we'll all die!
[14:05] Shibisu
    What? What are you talking about?
[14:07] Aguero
    I'll explain the details later.
[14:08] Aguero
    Where's Endorsi? We need her Bongbong.
[14:11] Shibisu
    I still can't get in touch with her.
[14:14] Aguero
    In any case, find the hostages
    as quickly as you can.
[14:16] Aguero
    I'm counting on you!
[14:17] Yihwa
    What should we do?
    We need to find them soon.
[14:19] Xia Xia
    Hey, where do you think you're looking?
[14:21] Xia Xia
    The hostages are this way!
[14:24] Yihwa
    Aren't you FUG?
[14:25] Xia Xia
    Follow me! Hurry!
[14:27] Akraptor
    You're our enemy. We can't trust you.
[14:30] Xia Xia
    Oh, come on!
[14:32] Xia Xia
    I'm throwing away 100
    million points to help you!
[14:36] Xia Xia
    Now hurry up before I change my mind!
[14:42] Shibisu
    Khun, we've found the hostages!
[14:44] Rak
    Nice work!
[14:46] Aguero
    What about Endorsi?
[14:47] Endorsi
    I'm on my way to you.
[14:49] Viole
    Endorsi...
[14:50] Endorsi
    But my Bongbong isn't working.
[14:53] Aguero
    What?!
[14:54] Endorsi
    I might've been too rough with it.
[14:56] Aguero
    What are we supposed to do, then?
[14:58] Endorsi
    I don't know, but wait for me!
[15:00] Endorsi
    You'd better not die on me!
[15:02] Endorsi
    There's no way I'm letting you go this time!
[15:08] Quant
    Hey, how long are we going to wait?
[15:11] Quant
    It's been more than five minutes.
[15:13] Quant
    Let's hurry up and go.
[15:14] Lero Ro
    Just be quiet and wait.
[15:17] Anaak
    Hey, isn't that...
[15:24] Lero Ro
    Could it be...
[15:25] Lero Ro
    A FUG Ranker?
[15:27] Lero Ro
    Quant! Contact Hatzling!
    We have a situation D!
[15:31] Lero Ro
    Quickly! If we don't hurry,
    it'll be too late!
[15:53] Io
    What the hell is going on?
[15:55] Io
    You're dumping the solution on Rankers?
[15:58] Punk
    Regardless of the reason,
    that's crossing the line!
[16:00] Io
    Stop it right away.
    Otherwise, our contract—
[16:03] Madoraco
    I'm glad to hear that.
[16:05] Madoraco
    I was just thinking about
    dissolving the contract.
[16:10] Madoraco
    After all, I already gave the
    compression flask to someone else.
[16:15] Io
    You did what?!
[16:16] Madoraco
    A good deal was offered to me
    while the match was on hold.
[16:22] Punk
    You can't be serious! Where did they go?
[16:24] Madoraco
    Who knows? Perhaps he already left.
[16:28] Io
    You tricked us!
[16:31] Madoraco
    Hardly. I simply made a deal with
    someone who offered me good terms.
[16:36] Madoraco
    I'm running a business, after all.
[16:39] Punk
    You'd better prepare yourself.
[16:40] Punk
    You know what happens when you
    cross a Workshop Battle host?
[16:43] Madoraco
    Is there anyone important
    here to protect you?
[16:49] Madoraco
    Perhaps I should destroy the entire
    ship as well, once I acquire the Thorn.
[17:08] Quant
    You bastard!
[17:22] Rak
    Did it stop?
[17:24] Aguero
    What happened?
[17:25] Lero Ro
    Good. You're all right.
[17:28] Aguero
    Ro, why...
[17:30] Lero Ro
    I'm here to save my students.
[17:34] Lero Ro
    I will buy you time.
[17:37] Lero Ro
    Quant's floating ship is on its way to you.
[17:39] Lero Ro
    Take the hostages and go.
[17:43] Lero Ro
    Hurry. I'm dealing with a Ranker.
[17:46] Lero Ro
    There's only so much I can do.
[17:51] Aguero
    Shibisu, where are the hostages?
[17:53] Shibisu
    We got them all.
[17:54] Aguero
    Good. There's a floating ship coming.
[17:57] Aguero
    You and Vespa make your way to it.
[17:58] Shibisu
    Got it. What about you guys?
[18:00] Aguero
    We'll wait for Endorsi.
[18:02] Aguero
    For now, our only way out
    of here is her Bongbong.
[18:05] Shibisu
    But what if—
[18:06] Aguero
    Don't worry.
[18:07] Aguero
    Even if it doesn't work, we'll find a way
    for all of us to get out of here, so go.
[18:14] Endorsi
    What am I supposed to do about this?
[18:20] Endorsi
    Why won't it work?
[18:22] Endorsi
    Think. There must be a reason.
[18:24] Endorsi
    Is it out of power?
[18:26] Endorsi
    But there's no energy source to charge it.
[18:47] Ranker
    Why do you get in our way?
[18:51] Ranker
    If it's for some paltry
    sense of righteousness,
[18:53] Ranker
    then you're being foolishly reckless.
[18:56] Lero Ro
    Reckless? You seem confused.
[19:00] Lero Ro
    Our allies are currently hacking the
    security cameras aboard the Archimedes
[19:05] Lero Ro
    and broadcasting everything happening
    here to all monitors in the Tower.
[19:10] Lero Ro
    Every Ranker and powerful person is
    watching the atrocities you're committing.
[19:15] Lero Ro
    Though, naturally, I've concealed
    the details about the Thorn.
[19:19] Ranker
    Bastard...
[19:21] Lero Ro
    This wouldn't have happened if
    you hadn't crossed the line.
[19:26] Lero Ro
    Who's reckless now?
[19:31] Reflejo
    Help seems to have arrived,
    but it's pointless.
[19:34] Reflejo
    This place will collapse soon.
[19:37] Viole
    Are you satisfied?
[19:40] Viole
    Does it satisfy you to be used and then die?
[19:44] Reflejo
    Of course.
[19:47] Reflejo
    Being used is one way
    to live a life of hope.
[19:52] Viole
    You're wrong. That's not—
[19:54] Reflejo
    You know nothing!
[19:56] Reflejo
    After acquiring such power,
    you still do nothing!
[20:01] Reflejo
    You know nothing about me!
[20:04] Reflejo
    I hate God!
[20:06] Reflejo
    Give me that power, and I would gladly
    give my life to change the Tower!
[20:21] Aguero
    Damn it!
[20:27] Aguero
    Bam!
[20:31] Reflejo
    For our greatest wish...
[20:37] Reflejo
    Viole...
[20:50] (Flashback) Wangnan
    Viole.
[20:51] (Flashback) Wangnan
    Help me.
[20:53] (Flashback) Wangnan
    Hey, you're pretty good.
[20:56] (Flashback) Wangnan
    In fact, why don't we work together?
[20:58] (Flashback) Wangnan
    We overcome all challenges together.
[21:01] (Flashback) Wangnan
    That's what teammates do.
[21:03] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I have to climb the Tower!
[21:06] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I'm gonna reach the top of the Tower!
[21:09] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I'll become the king of this Tower
[21:12] (Flashback) Wangnan
    and change the unjustness
    that made things this way!
[21:16] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I want to make this a place
    where we can laugh together.
[21:21] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I want to see a bigger sky, too.
[21:24] Wangnan
    Viole! Viole! Viole!
[21:30] (Flashback) Wangnan
    Jue Viole Grace.
[21:32] (Flashback) Wangnan
    I will crush FUG.
[21:40] Wangnan
    Let's go, Viole.
[21:44] Endorsi
    Bam!
[21:49] Reflejo/Id
    This is fine. Now I can finally...
[21:55] Endorsi
    Let's go home, Mister Useless.
[22:03] Viole
    Okay.
[23:37] Endorsi
    Now we can go on our date.
