Episode 16
Atrazek the Particle Storm, Part One

2
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:30,256
Toghie City's First Highway Checkpoint

3
00:01:33,677 --> 00:01:34,928
Hmm?

4
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:37,514
You there! State your business!

5
00:01:38,264 --> 00:01:40,892
I heard
General Gilnes was recruiting soldiers.

6
00:01:40,892 --> 00:01:42,185
Is that true?

7
00:01:43,436 --> 00:01:44,688
I'd like to sign up.

8
00:01:44,688 --> 00:01:47,482
You look like more than a soldier, friend.

9
00:01:47,482 --> 00:01:50,694
Do you have an intermediary
or a letter of introduction?

10
00:01:51,319 --> 00:01:53,530
- No.
- Then turn back at once!

11
00:01:53,530 --> 00:01:56,074
Access to Toghie City is restricted!

12
00:01:56,074 --> 00:01:59,911
Really? Oh.
Can you make an exception?

13
00:01:59,911 --> 00:02:01,454
I came all this way.

14
00:02:01,454 --> 00:02:03,581
I said, turn back! Be gone!

15
00:02:11,381 --> 00:02:12,507
Is something the matter?

16
00:02:12,549 --> 00:02:16,970
Sir! This individual here
was trying to join the Royal Army.

17
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:18,638
Oh?

18
00:02:18,638 --> 00:02:20,432
Well, why haven't you let him in yet?

19
00:02:20,432 --> 00:02:22,517
Here's here on my recommendation,
after all.

20
00:02:23,059 --> 00:02:26,605
I'd planned to walk him in personally
to meet the assistant staff officer.

21
00:02:26,605 --> 00:02:29,524
But as luck would have it,
my arrival was delayed! Sorry!

22
00:02:29,524 --> 00:02:31,526
But... I don't understand.

23
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:34,112
This individual claimed
they had no intermediary.

24
00:02:35,614 --> 00:02:39,242
I see the misunderstanding,
they simply meant I wasn't here yet.

25
00:02:39,242 --> 00:02:41,536
Elgite, I'm so sorry about this.

26
00:02:43,121 --> 00:02:45,373
You've come
all the way from the Wyte Mountains.

27
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:47,083
I'm sure you must be tired.

28
00:02:47,083 --> 00:02:48,960
Shall I escort you to town?

29
00:02:51,254 --> 00:02:52,797
Why are you helping me?

30
00:02:53,465 --> 00:02:55,842
On the contrary,
you're the one helping me.

31
00:02:55,842 --> 00:02:59,554
Considering how things have played out,
if you were to take your leave now,

32
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:02,140
let's just say it would be hard
to account for.

33
00:03:02,182 --> 00:03:03,808
Can I trust that you're on board?

34
00:03:11,024 --> 00:03:13,026
You know who I am, don't you?

35
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,570
Are you some kind of general here?

36
00:03:15,570 --> 00:03:17,322
I'm flattered, but no.

37
00:03:17,989 --> 00:03:20,242
I'm merely a visitor
who happens to have dealings

38
00:03:20,242 --> 00:03:21,868
with the Old Kingdom Loyalists.

39
00:03:21,868 --> 00:03:23,078
And nothing more.

40
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:27,290
But I'm forgetting
your other question, aren't I?

41
00:03:27,332 --> 00:03:29,960
Yes. Of course I know who you are.

42
00:03:30,585 --> 00:03:33,463
You are Toroa the Awful, in the flesh.

43
00:03:33,505 --> 00:03:35,757
Strange though,
you're supposed to be dead.

44
00:03:35,757 --> 00:03:37,551
By the Star Runner's hand?

45
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:40,095
So how does this work?

46
00:03:40,095 --> 00:03:42,681
Can you really get me
into the Old Kingdom's army?

47
00:03:42,681 --> 00:03:44,599
Yes, although I'm curious.

48
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:46,476
Why are you so interested in joining?

49
00:03:46,518 --> 00:03:48,436
What could you possibly stand
to gain by it?

50
00:03:49,854 --> 00:03:52,482
Alus the Star Runner is in Aureatia.

51
00:03:53,066 --> 00:03:54,734
I aim to take him on.

52
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:57,195
And recover my Luminous Blade.

53
00:04:04,327 --> 00:04:05,871
Mark my words.

54
00:04:05,871 --> 00:04:08,707
I will reclaim
that which was taken from me.

55
00:04:08,707 --> 00:04:09,916
Admirable.

56
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:12,919
If that's what you wish,
I'm happy to help with your enlistment.

57
00:04:13,420 --> 00:04:16,506
However, I cannot guarantee
where you'll be deployed,

58
00:04:16,548 --> 00:04:18,592
and you may well never be
sent to Aureatia.

59
00:04:18,592 --> 00:04:20,051
What do you mean?

60
00:04:20,051 --> 00:04:23,513
Are you saying that there's a chance
I won't get to fight the Star Runner?

61
00:04:23,513 --> 00:04:24,598
As in, at all?

62
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:25,932
Sorry.

63
00:04:25,974 --> 00:04:29,352
In the chaos of war,
there are few things we can control.

64
00:04:29,352 --> 00:04:31,438
Alus could fall
or the blade could go missing

65
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:32,814
and you might never find out.

66
00:04:32,856 --> 00:04:33,940
I see.

67
00:04:33,982 --> 00:04:36,526
Still, if I don't enter
the ranks of the Old Kingdom--

68
00:04:36,568 --> 00:04:39,946
Then you may never learn the whereabouts
of Charijisuya the Blasting Blade.

69
00:04:42,657 --> 00:04:44,242
Don't look so surprised!

70
00:04:44,284 --> 00:04:46,244
The Blasting Blade
possessed by General Gilnes

71
00:04:46,286 --> 00:04:47,829
- is a well-known rumor.

72
00:04:47,871 --> 00:04:51,666
Though regarding that particular blade,
I'm afraid it's no longer here.

73
00:04:51,708 --> 00:04:53,960
- Actually--
- Hang on.

74
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:58,381
Aren't you allied
with the Old Kingdom loyalists?

75
00:04:58,381 --> 00:05:02,093
It makes no sense for you
to tell me about the Blasting Blade.

76
00:05:02,093 --> 00:05:03,220
In a sense.

77
00:05:03,220 --> 00:05:05,680
I certainly do business
with the Old Kingdom, yes.

78
00:05:05,722 --> 00:05:08,225
However, I'm not
what you would call a loyalist.

79
00:05:08,808 --> 00:05:09,935
For instance...

80
00:05:09,935 --> 00:05:13,230
Right now, I'm far more invested
in forming an alliance with you.

81
00:05:13,814 --> 00:05:16,733
You knew I would be there
at that gate, didn't you?

82
00:05:16,775 --> 00:05:18,443
Where did you get that information?

83
00:05:20,570 --> 00:05:22,864
We've gotta get out of here! Now!

84
00:05:24,908 --> 00:05:26,243
Was it the outlaws?

85
00:05:26,243 --> 00:05:27,702
Well, of course it was.

86
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:30,831
And if you're asking whether I knew
what they were planning, yes, I did.

87
00:05:31,581 --> 00:05:33,708
So you're the reason
they attacked me?

88
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,963
In my defense, I'd heard
that Toroa the Awful was dead.

89
00:05:37,963 --> 00:05:42,259
And yet, there you were, bounding out
of the darkness to slaughter them all.

90
00:05:42,259 --> 00:05:44,427
Why did you really make contact?

91
00:05:44,469 --> 00:05:47,722
Was it because you knew
I was after the Blasting Blade?

92
00:05:47,722 --> 00:05:51,268
With respect,
you're not a difficult man to track.

93
00:05:51,268 --> 00:05:54,187
Suffice to say,
you don't exactly blend in.

94
00:05:54,229 --> 00:05:55,564
My turn.

95
00:05:55,564 --> 00:05:58,441
How did you manage to kill
all those enchanted sword wielders?

96
00:05:58,483 --> 00:05:59,568
Well...

97
00:05:59,568 --> 00:06:01,027
Mm... Better question.

98
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:05,282
Is the legend of Toroa the Awful
truly the work of just one person?

99
00:06:05,282 --> 00:06:07,200
That's right. Just one.

100
00:06:07,242 --> 00:06:09,077
Incredible...

101
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:12,747
Well! I think this could prove
to be a fruitful arrangement.

102
00:06:12,789 --> 00:06:15,333
Align yourself to me,
and I can provide information

103
00:06:15,333 --> 00:06:17,210
- and safe housing.
- Forget it.

104
00:06:17,252 --> 00:06:19,880
I was wrong to think this was a good idea.

105
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,676
It doesn't matter which army I fight for.
If I spend my time cutting down strangers,

106
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,512
then I'm nothing more
than part of the problem.

107
00:06:27,554 --> 00:06:30,390
I may as well hand out my enchanted blades
while I'm at it.

108
00:06:39,107 --> 00:06:40,942
If I'm not wielding
my enchanted blade

109
00:06:40,984 --> 00:06:43,361
in a manner befitting Toroa the Awful,

110
00:06:43,361 --> 00:06:44,780
then there's no point.

111
00:06:46,698 --> 00:06:49,075
I appreciate your offer, nonetheless.

112
00:06:49,701 --> 00:06:52,329
While it is unfortunate
that I can't be of more help,

113
00:06:52,329 --> 00:06:55,791
if nothing else, I hope our conversation
has benefited you in some way.

114
00:06:56,291 --> 00:06:58,210
I guess this is where I get off then.

115
00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:00,796
Considering our negotiations
have fallen through.

116
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:03,381
Any other prospects besides this one?

117
00:07:03,381 --> 00:07:06,676
Well, I don't intend
on letting the Star Runner roam free.

118
00:07:06,676 --> 00:07:08,929
I'll have to think of a way
of drawing him out.

119
00:07:08,929 --> 00:07:11,807
As for the Blasting Blade,
it's regrettable, but...

120
00:07:11,807 --> 00:07:14,559
You should know
Charijisuya the Blasting Blade

121
00:07:14,601 --> 00:07:16,311
- has been stolen.
- Stolen?

122
00:07:16,895 --> 00:07:20,524
It's the reason
security in Toghie City has been so tight.

123
00:07:20,524 --> 00:07:21,858
After word of the theft got out,

124
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:24,986
the city council took action,
using the attack as pretext.

125
00:07:24,986 --> 00:07:26,321
So who has it now?

126
00:07:27,072 --> 00:07:28,490
Kiyazuna the Axle.

127
00:07:29,074 --> 00:07:30,534
A self-proclaimed Demon King.

128
00:07:32,869 --> 00:07:34,413
If you so desire,

129
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:36,623
I'd be more than happy
to tell you where she went.

130
00:07:36,665 --> 00:07:40,127
I'm curious,
why are you going this far to help me?

131
00:07:40,752 --> 00:07:43,171
You know, that's a very good question.

132
00:07:43,213 --> 00:07:45,382
I suppose
I'm just a bit too good at my job.

133
00:07:46,425 --> 00:07:50,345
I take a liking to someone,
and the next thing you know, here we are.

134
00:07:59,521 --> 00:08:03,442
Southern Aureatia, Gumana Trading Post

135
00:08:04,025 --> 00:08:06,445
So, this Particle Storm thing...

136
00:08:07,028 --> 00:08:09,781
I'm guessing that it's some sort
of typhoon or drought, right?

137
00:08:09,823 --> 00:08:11,324
It's just weather.

138
00:08:11,324 --> 00:08:13,452
So what's the point in bringing
this many soldiers with us

139
00:08:13,452 --> 00:08:16,079
and what exactly are they here to do?
Feels like a waste.

140
00:08:16,121 --> 00:08:19,332
You know we're not here to sightsee,
there is work to do.

141
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:21,293
We're here to assist with the evacuation.

142
00:08:21,293 --> 00:08:23,503
We'll also be assisting
with material transport

143
00:08:23,545 --> 00:08:25,088
and guiding reconstruction efforts.

144
00:08:25,130 --> 00:08:28,216
I dunno, it still feels like
an awful lot of manpower.

145
00:08:28,258 --> 00:08:30,886
Wonder if it's this hard to work
for the Old Kingdom?

146
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:33,597
Focus up. You need to take this seriously.

147
00:08:33,597 --> 00:08:35,474
I have a lot of other responsibilities,

148
00:08:35,474 --> 00:08:37,350
and you're in charge
when I'm not available.

149
00:08:37,392 --> 00:08:39,186
Fine, then I want some answers.

150
00:08:39,186 --> 00:08:40,896
Why are the soldiers really here?

151
00:08:40,937 --> 00:08:43,482
I'm guessing driving out the merchants
wasn't just for the evacuation.

152
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:44,608
Correct.

153
00:08:44,608 --> 00:08:47,194
Our goal is to occupy the entire area

154
00:08:47,235 --> 00:08:49,613
without any residents
being placed at risk.

155
00:08:49,654 --> 00:08:53,241
Furthermore, our advantage here
relies on the utmost secrecy.

156
00:08:53,283 --> 00:08:55,243
Huh.
I guess it's not that far-fetched

157
00:08:55,285 --> 00:08:58,580
to think any one of those merchants
could be a spy for another faction.

158
00:08:58,622 --> 00:09:01,792
According to Jelki,
our Gray-Haired friend believes

159
00:09:01,792 --> 00:09:05,796
that the Particle Storm will deviate east
right after passing Gumana.

160
00:09:05,837 --> 00:09:07,964
It will then pass through
the Sine Riverstead

161
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:09,925
and go around the mountain range.

162
00:09:09,925 --> 00:09:12,094
Eventually, it will come to Aureatia.

163
00:09:12,135 --> 00:09:14,262
If this thing's a threat to Aureatia,

164
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:17,641
then a podunk town like Sine Riverstead's
going to get wiped out.

165
00:09:17,683 --> 00:09:20,143
An outcome
we are very much hoping we can prevent.

166
00:09:20,727 --> 00:09:22,521
In any case, just think of
all the good will you'll earn

167
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:23,647
by helping them out.

168
00:09:24,231 --> 00:09:26,149
I honestly don't care
about their gratitude,

169
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:27,567
but you've made your point.

170
00:09:27,609 --> 00:09:28,860
Talk about a pain.

171
00:09:28,902 --> 00:09:31,405
- What's our status?
- All residents evacuated.

172
00:09:31,405 --> 00:09:33,240
You two, back to your posts.

173
00:09:33,281 --> 00:09:35,409
- And keep your eyes on the ravine.
- Sir!

174
00:09:41,456 --> 00:09:43,250
Security is too tight.

175
00:09:43,291 --> 00:09:44,543
I'd never make it in.

176
00:09:45,127 --> 00:09:46,420
At least for now...

177
00:09:47,504 --> 00:09:49,548
There's no one else around
but Aureatian soldiers.

178
00:09:49,548 --> 00:09:50,674
Hey, Kuuro?

179
00:09:50,716 --> 00:09:52,426
Why don't you rest for a little bit?

180
00:09:52,467 --> 00:09:55,721
You were told to arrive fully rested
for the operation, right?

181
00:09:55,762 --> 00:09:57,889
We can never be too careful, Cuneigh.

182
00:09:58,390 --> 00:09:59,891
My eyes aren't what they used to be.

183
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:01,643
I can't rely on my Clairvoyance anymore.

184
00:10:01,685 --> 00:10:03,437
- It's funny.

185
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:05,772
I used to be able to see
with my eyes closed.

186
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:09,151
But now,
it's like parts of the world are missing.

187
00:10:09,192 --> 00:10:12,446
Come now. I really don't think
that's going to happen.

188
00:10:12,487 --> 00:10:14,031
Hey. You're gonna be fine.

189
00:10:14,072 --> 00:10:16,033
Yeah? What would you know about that?

190
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:18,952
I'm just saying you should try
and lighten up. Besides--

191
00:10:18,994 --> 00:10:20,746
- Besides what?

192
00:10:20,954 --> 00:10:23,165
- Oh, shut up, will you?

193
00:10:23,206 --> 00:10:24,458
Just think about it!

194
00:10:24,499 --> 00:10:26,209
How are you supposed to protect me?

195
00:10:31,173 --> 00:10:32,257
Fine.

196
00:10:32,299 --> 00:10:35,761
We can continue our contract.
What would you like as your reward?

197
00:10:35,802 --> 00:10:37,763
We can worry about that later, 'kay?

198
00:10:37,804 --> 00:10:39,890
It's not something
I need right now anyway.

199
00:10:44,102 --> 00:10:45,854
I'm afraid of dying.

200
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,398
I'm afraid of killing.

201
00:10:49,775 --> 00:10:53,111
So then, why am I still fighting?

202
00:10:57,115 --> 00:10:58,617
Observation Point,
West Longitude Section 163

203
00:10:58,659 --> 00:11:00,786
What? What happened here?

204
00:11:00,827 --> 00:11:03,080
Yeah, didn't this use to be a hill?

205
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,919
And why does
this whole place reek of death?

206
00:11:08,961 --> 00:11:11,171
I'm not sure
I wanna know the answer to that.

207
00:11:11,922 --> 00:11:13,048
Look here.

208
00:11:13,090 --> 00:11:15,884
There are bits of plant and animal
mixed in with the sand.

209
00:11:15,926 --> 00:11:18,387
I think what we're smelling is decay.

210
00:11:18,971 --> 00:11:20,931
No doubt the result of the Particle Storm.

211
00:11:25,435 --> 00:11:27,771
Anything that used to be here is gone.

212
00:11:27,813 --> 00:11:30,399
Reduced to nothing. Like it never existed.

213
00:11:30,983 --> 00:11:34,361
One day until calamity arrives

214
00:11:35,487 --> 00:11:38,365
The Old The Central Kingdom's
common name, the origin of Aureatia.

215
00:11:38,407 --> 00:11:42,953
Gumana Ravine

216
00:11:50,961 --> 00:11:53,213
Y'sure have taken a liking
to that Blasting Blade,

217
00:11:53,255 --> 00:11:54,590
haven't you, Mestelexil?

218
00:11:54,631 --> 00:11:56,925
Oh, yeah!
This thing is the best!

219
00:11:56,967 --> 00:11:58,719
It makes things explode!

220
00:11:58,719 --> 00:12:00,512
- It's quite the treasure, isn't it?

221
00:12:00,554 --> 00:12:02,681
Hard to fathom
how those Old Kingdom weaklings

222
00:12:02,723 --> 00:12:05,350
ever got their grubby hands
on something so powerful.

223
00:12:05,392 --> 00:12:06,768
Probably wish they hadn't though,

224
00:12:06,810 --> 00:12:08,854
seeing as we just
blew them all up with it.

225
00:12:10,272 --> 00:12:11,440
Did you see me?

226
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,691
They were like, "Stop!"

227
00:12:12,733 --> 00:12:15,193
And then I sent every one of 'em flying!

228
00:12:16,570 --> 00:12:17,821
- Easy!

229
00:12:19,031 --> 00:12:21,658
- Nicely done, Mestelexil.

230
00:12:21,700 --> 00:12:23,243
Y'got spunk for an immortal.

231
00:12:24,119 --> 00:12:27,205
You don't suffer
the limitations of a homunculus' lifespan

232
00:12:27,247 --> 00:12:30,208
and unlike a golem, you have no life seal.

233
00:12:30,250 --> 00:12:32,502
This world is yours for the taking,

234
00:12:32,544 --> 00:12:34,755
whether you're claiming an enchanted sword

235
00:12:34,755 --> 00:12:38,133
or facing off
against the Particle Storm itself!

236
00:12:38,175 --> 00:12:39,593
Yeah!

237
00:12:39,635 --> 00:12:40,761
Oh. Uh...

238
00:12:40,761 --> 00:12:41,845
Hey, Mom!

239
00:12:41,887 --> 00:12:43,096
Oh! Oh! This is it!

240
00:12:43,138 --> 00:12:44,181
The, um... um...

241
00:12:44,223 --> 00:12:45,724
- Uh...
- The air current, right?

242
00:12:45,766 --> 00:12:47,434
Yeah, that! The air current!

243
00:12:47,476 --> 00:12:48,977
It's coming from that direction!

244
00:12:50,479 --> 00:12:53,774
By my calculations,
the Particle Storm should be nearby.

245
00:12:53,774 --> 00:12:57,527
And lucky for us,
my Chariot Golem seems up to the task.

246
00:12:57,569 --> 00:12:59,821
Between my piloting and your keen senses,

247
00:12:59,863 --> 00:13:01,907
we should have no problem
keeping up with it.

248
00:13:01,949 --> 00:13:04,076
Oh, wow, my sibling is amazing!

249
00:13:04,076 --> 00:13:06,245
Way to go, Chariot!

250
00:13:06,787 --> 00:13:09,456
I'm sure this grudge o' mine
doesn't mean much to you, kid.

251
00:13:09,498 --> 00:13:10,916
But if you'd lived back then,

252
00:13:10,958 --> 00:13:13,377
you'da had 1,000 brothers just like you.

253
00:13:13,377 --> 00:13:15,754
Heck, I even had a country of my own.

254
00:13:15,796 --> 00:13:16,838
A country of golems.

255
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,298
1,000 brothers?

256
00:13:18,340 --> 00:13:19,633
And Mom had a country?

257
00:13:19,675 --> 00:13:20,926
That's amazing!

258
00:13:20,968 --> 00:13:23,303
That it was, kid.

259
00:13:23,345 --> 00:13:26,139
But at the height of my power,
it was all taken from me.

260
00:13:26,181 --> 00:13:29,017
And as for your brothers,
I'm sorry to say they were slaughtered.

261
00:13:29,810 --> 00:13:32,187
All because of that Particle Storm.

262
00:13:32,229 --> 00:13:36,275
That miserable anomaly came out
of the desert and destroyed everything.

263
00:13:36,817 --> 00:13:39,570
Whenever a country becomes too powerful,

264
00:13:39,611 --> 00:13:42,197
that damn Particle Storm
comes to crush them.

265
00:13:42,239 --> 00:13:45,534
You ask me,
it's the rottenest disaster on the planet.

266
00:13:46,118 --> 00:13:47,828
What's wrong with being powerful?

267
00:13:47,828 --> 00:13:49,538
Technology is immortal!

268
00:13:49,538 --> 00:13:50,873
Science never waits!

269
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:53,667
Whether it's the Particle Storm
or the whole damn world,

270
00:13:53,709 --> 00:13:56,003
my son is unkillable!

271
00:13:57,421 --> 00:13:59,339
Just leave it to me, Mom!

272
00:13:59,381 --> 00:14:01,300
I'm the strongest who ever lived!

273
00:14:01,341 --> 00:14:03,260
I'll make your dreams come true!

274
00:14:03,302 --> 00:14:04,511
That's a promise!

275
00:14:04,553 --> 00:14:05,762
Sounds good.

276
00:14:05,804 --> 00:14:08,557
But only until you come up
with some dreams of your own, ya hear?

277
00:14:09,224 --> 00:14:12,853
When you know you can't die,
I bet granting wishes comes easy.

278
00:14:12,853 --> 00:14:15,314
I bet it's practically second nature.

279
00:14:19,026 --> 00:14:20,277
Huh?

280
00:14:21,028 --> 00:14:22,571
Who's this idiot?

281
00:14:23,572 --> 00:14:25,991
Whoa! Another sword!

282
00:14:26,033 --> 00:14:27,451
A sword?

283
00:14:33,749 --> 00:14:35,334
Mom!

284
00:14:42,758 --> 00:14:44,176
Quite the greeting.

285
00:14:44,176 --> 00:14:46,178
Y'got some nerve, musclehead!

286
00:14:46,178 --> 00:14:48,597
You will hand over
the Blasting Blade.

287
00:14:48,597 --> 00:14:50,599
He looks strong!

288
00:14:50,599 --> 00:14:51,809
And he has a sword!

289
00:14:51,850 --> 00:14:53,477
This is the best day!

290
00:14:54,144 --> 00:14:56,480
If you plan to keep living,
state your name.

291
00:14:57,606 --> 00:14:59,441
Toroa the Awful.

292
00:15:05,155 --> 00:15:06,907
Begin observation report.

293
00:15:07,491 --> 00:15:10,536
Kiyazuna the Axle and her golem escort
are engaged in combat

294
00:15:10,577 --> 00:15:12,746
with an unidentified swordsman.

295
00:15:13,372 --> 00:15:16,625
From what I can see,
he's using an enchanted sword.

296
00:15:16,625 --> 00:15:17,709
Multiple.

297
00:15:23,757 --> 00:15:24,967
- Huh?

298
00:15:29,346 --> 00:15:31,473
They're taking too long.

299
00:15:31,515 --> 00:15:34,393
If this fight drags on,
the Particle Storm will arrive.

300
00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:38,397
Hey, Kuuro, that looks like
Toroa the Awful, doesn't it?

301
00:15:38,397 --> 00:15:41,191
Do you think that monster could've been
brought back to life somehow?

302
00:15:41,942 --> 00:15:44,278
If it's a revenant,
it should have no heartbeat.

303
00:15:47,781 --> 00:15:50,284
Yet I can hear his, plain as day.

304
00:15:50,951 --> 00:15:53,620
Weird. Huh. Well, in that case...

305
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:57,291
Maybe it's an imposter or a man
who just happens to have enchanted swords.

306
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,543
If only we were so lucky.

307
00:16:00,252 --> 00:16:01,670
See for yourself.

308
00:16:01,670 --> 00:16:03,088
There's a monster right there

309
00:16:03,130 --> 00:16:05,549
wielding enchanted swords
like it's nothing.

310
00:16:06,383 --> 00:16:08,385
It can only be Toroa.

311
00:16:08,427 --> 00:16:09,678
He's alive.

312
00:16:09,678 --> 00:16:10,804
Hmm?

313
00:16:20,022 --> 00:16:21,398
Huh?

314
00:16:26,236 --> 00:16:28,655
Vajgir, the Frostvenom Blade.

315
00:16:28,697 --> 00:16:33,285
The moment its edge makes contact,
frost-like crystals corrode all life.

316
00:16:33,285 --> 00:16:36,038
Not even a golem is safe from its bite.

317
00:16:37,289 --> 00:16:39,416
Making me use Craft Arts, are we?

318
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,544
That's it.
Now you're pissing me off.

319
00:16:45,589 --> 00:16:48,050
Hey, Mestelexil! Watch his blade!

320
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:50,177
Those crystals are more dangerous
than you think!

321
00:16:50,886 --> 00:16:52,721
Huh? Wait! Whoa!

322
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:54,181
That's my arm!

323
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,853
Oh, wow! My arm is gone!

324
00:16:59,895 --> 00:17:01,522
I plan to take more than your arm.

325
00:17:01,563 --> 00:17:04,024
- I've come for your life.

326
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,406
Oh, yeah? Well...

327
00:17:10,447 --> 00:17:12,324
I'm not done fighting yet!

328
00:17:15,619 --> 00:17:18,205
Did I manage to miss
the life seal somehow?

329
00:17:18,664 --> 00:17:21,041
If so, then where is this golem's core?

330
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:23,127
No matter.

331
00:17:23,168 --> 00:17:26,839
I'll just keep carving into it
until it relinquishes the Blasting Blade.

332
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,257
- Time out!

333
00:17:28,757 --> 00:17:29,758
Um...

334
00:17:29,758 --> 00:17:30,968
Hey, Toroa?

335
00:17:30,968 --> 00:17:33,220
I was wondering, who's your mom?

336
00:17:33,220 --> 00:17:34,638
What?

337
00:17:34,638 --> 00:17:36,974
You can call me Mestelexil!

338
00:17:36,974 --> 00:17:38,434
I was made by my mom!

339
00:17:38,475 --> 00:17:40,811
You were made by your mom too,
right, Toroa?

340
00:17:40,811 --> 00:17:43,397
I bet she's amazing
because you're super strong!

341
00:17:43,397 --> 00:17:46,608
I am Toroa the Awful, that's all.

342
00:17:46,650 --> 00:17:48,944
Now hand over the Blasting Blade.

343
00:17:52,364 --> 00:17:54,616
It tried to transfer
the crystals to me?

344
00:17:54,658 --> 00:17:56,910
Can it control even the parts
that have been cut off?

345
00:17:56,952 --> 00:17:58,120
From Exil to Mestel.

346
00:17:58,120 --> 00:17:59,329
Fins of mercury.

347
00:17:59,371 --> 00:18:03,000
Align with the heavenly scales
of the cloud sea. Follow.

348
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,961
FIM-92C, Stinger...

349
00:18:05,961 --> 00:18:07,588
- Ketelk!
- ...RPM!

350
00:18:13,886 --> 00:18:15,387
So he can control that too.

351
00:18:20,684 --> 00:18:22,686
Shrill... Cry!

352
00:18:27,483 --> 00:18:29,193
I don't understand why,

353
00:18:29,193 --> 00:18:31,570
but perhaps the heat
threw it off its trajectory.

354
00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:32,821
From Exil to Mestel.

355
00:18:32,821 --> 00:18:35,491
Memories of the great conflagration
drip down.

356
00:18:35,491 --> 00:18:38,035
Unto the lower arteries
where ethereal colors converge.

357
00:18:38,035 --> 00:18:39,119
A beak unseen.

358
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,331
This golem is proving
to have formidable intelligence.

359
00:18:42,331 --> 00:18:46,085
It understands my techniques
and effortlessly responds to my speed.

360
00:18:48,295 --> 00:18:50,089
I'm the strongest there is!

361
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:51,173
That's what Mom says!

362
00:18:51,173 --> 00:18:54,009
She told me I can't be killed by anyone!

363
00:18:54,009 --> 00:18:56,553
So I'm gonna keep on fighting forever!

364
00:18:58,764 --> 00:19:00,849
They're sure going at it,
aren't they?

365
00:19:00,849 --> 00:19:03,018
Yeah. This is not good.

366
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:07,356
At this rate,
they'll get swept up in the storm.

367
00:19:12,236 --> 00:19:13,946
- It's do or die.

368
00:19:13,946 --> 00:19:17,533
I must entrust everything
to my enchanted swords, or else...

369
00:19:21,370 --> 00:19:25,290
You must be some kind of idiot,
thinking you can steal an enchanted sword.

370
00:19:25,332 --> 00:19:28,252
But even an idiot wouldn't come
for one of mine.

371
00:19:31,672 --> 00:19:34,258
If you're looking to die,
you've come to the right place.

372
00:19:34,258 --> 00:19:36,343
I have business I need to get back to.

373
00:19:37,177 --> 00:19:39,263
Were you following the Particle Storm?

374
00:19:39,263 --> 00:19:40,723
Huh?

375
00:19:40,764 --> 00:19:44,476
More importantly, how were you
able to track the storm's movements?

376
00:19:44,476 --> 00:19:47,146
Or is it just a coincidence
that we find ourselves here?

377
00:19:47,146 --> 00:19:48,814
Well, look at you!

378
00:19:48,814 --> 00:19:51,859
Didn't think you were capable
of stimulating conversation.

379
00:19:51,859 --> 00:19:54,528
However, it'll have to wait.

380
00:20:08,667 --> 00:20:11,170
Looks like
the Particle Storm has found us.

381
00:20:26,185 --> 00:20:27,937
I must stay focused.

382
00:20:27,937 --> 00:20:30,397
If I hesitate for a second, I'm dead.

383
00:20:30,397 --> 00:20:33,442
Been a long time, Particle Storm.

384
00:20:33,442 --> 00:20:35,402
What's it been, 18 years now?

385
00:20:36,528 --> 00:20:37,905
Oh.

386
00:20:37,905 --> 00:20:42,159
So, there are those who know of me
in the world beyond the desert?

387
00:20:42,159 --> 00:20:44,328
If so, then rejoice.

388
00:20:50,459 --> 00:20:54,129
I've come to welcome you.

389
00:20:55,547 --> 00:20:59,593
Calamity arrives

390
00:22:32,353 --> 00:22:34,355
