CENTRAL METALLION CONTINENT
KINGDOM OF A-IAN-MAIDE WALLED CITY OF RONCE
If you pledge eternal allegiance to us
I will spare the lives of the people of this city.
Uniting the Central Metallion Continent…
and putting an end to the current world order
in which humans wage war for territorial gain…
The tragedy of this city
will help us bring these things to pass.
Birth pangs of a new world order.
SORCERER SHOGUN
YNGWIE VON MATTSTRÖM
And what if I don't pledge allegiance to you?
Then you lose everything.
Your family, your riches,
and your land.
Just as Meta-llicana Castle was obliterated two years ago.
Even the wielder of explosive flame, Dark Schneider,
couldn't stop us.
Even him?
The legendary wizard?
That's not all.
Already, 90% of all major cities in Metallion
have pledged allegiance to us.
I would have yours as well.
And…
we shall create
a peaceful, new world…
together with our ruler,
the High King, Kall-Su!
Hate.
How I hate these loathsome seals.
If only they were broken,
I could descend upon the world
and stamp out those lowly worms myself.
Make haste, Kall-Su.
Break the last seal as soon as possible.
You must resurrect me before him.
Resurrect me, the God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
BASTARD‼ -Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy-
HELL'S REQUIEM
OUTSKIRTS OF THE KINGDOM OF A-IAN-MAIDE DANIS
It's getting cold.
REBELLION
Even from distant Judas, his great magical power
stirs the cold in this land.
I've come all the way out here
and haven't found a single clue.
I must hurry.
The Day of the Reawakening mentioned in the old texts
is almost at hand.
After Meta-llicana Castle obliterated,
we lost track of the final seal.
I must find it again.
I stake my name on it.
The Sorcerer Shogun, Yngwie von Mattström.
Sir Yngwie!
Civilian partisans
are attacking our food storehouse.
You fool.
Don't be scared by mere civilians.
Deal with them as usual.
Kill them all if you have to.
But, sir…
They're led by surviving samurai from A-Ian-Maide.
What?
Samurai?
Hurry!
Before the Sorcerer Shogun brings his main force,
we must reclaim the citizens' food supplies.
What!
Damn orcs.
We, humans, won't let you tread on us anymore!
Eat this!
Dio!
How's that?
Vai.
Don't damage the food storehouse.
Yeah, I know.
Eek!
How incredibly strong.
They're master swordsmen.
On top of that, they can use magic spells!
How was this country conquered when they have such strong warriors?
It just doesn't make sense!
Now's our chance to get the food.
Everyone!
While the warriors hold the enemy off,
we'll go take back the crops exploited by the tax increase.
Quickly!
-Right! -Let's go!
There it is! Our food!
Thank goodness!
Now our children won't starve this winter.
Quickly now! Let's carry the bags out of here.
Our hungry kids are waiting.
So…
Your children are hungry, you say?
Poor little things.
However,
you peasants are not allowed to revolt.
Crimes must be punished.
And punishing crimes
is a duty that befalls
the Sorcerer Shogun serving the High King.
A scream?
Oh, no!
Someone got into the storehouse.
Follow me!
Are you the samurai?
You bastard. How could you?
You'll pay for this.
Damn you, Sorcerer Shogun!
I'll kill you.
Wait!
Don't go alone!
-You'll die. -Let go of me!
Sorcerer Shogun.
I'm surprised you're alone.
Where are your henchmen?
Surely you don't intend to fight alone against this many samurai?
I don't think I'm that delusional.
I've heard that the samurai have a code.
One that forbids fighting many against one.
You are correct.
We call it the Way of the Samurai.
How foolish.
But, I must commend your sense of honor.
Such a shame that you are masterless.
All of you would make fine knights for the High King.
Why do you defy Lord Kall-Su?
You know why.
A samurai serves only one master.
Is that in the Way of the Samurai, too?
Indeed.
And there's more.
When one's lord meets a tragic death,
one must avenge him even at the cost of one's life.
That is true loyalty.
Sorcerer Shogun!
To prove my loyalty, I shall face you.
Let me ask your name.
I am the samurai master, Joshua Belaira.
So you are him?
Then I won't need to hold back.
Sorcerer Shogun.
Stop your pillaging.
Ridiculous.
You're the ones doing the pillaging now.
We fight to reclaim what was rightly ours.
That is also loyalty!
Regardless,
I can't let you take the army's supplies.
Look!
A crack in the Sorcerer Shogun's armor.
That's our Joshua.
Did you see that? This is our true power.
I suppose I should commend you.
You managed to dodge my blade, after all.
What?
This is the strength
of the Sorcerer Shogun, Yngwie von Mattström.
Hm?
I recognize your face.
Of course. You are--
Quiet.
Zion's--
I said quiet!
I'm the one you're fighting, remember?
Of course I do.
On guard!
Wait, Joshua.
The best a samurai master can do against a Sorcerer Shogun
is to die with his opponent.
What?
You are...
Kai Harn?
Even if you kill one of the Sorcerer Shogun,
the loss of a samurai master
would leave the warriors of A-Ian-Maide high and dry.
Why don't you let me handle this?
Kai.
I see.
I heard that there was a woman among the samurai
acting as leader, different from a master.
That was you.
I'm surprised.
Three Sorcerer Generals and the samurai were enemies,
but now it seems you're working together.
Thanks to a certain someone.
A certain someone?
They brought the samurai and Three Sorcerer Generals together?
Who could have done that?
No need to tell that to one who's about to die.
I wouldn't be too sure of that.
Joshua.
We should leave this to her.
She might actually have what it takes.
The frost brought on by Kall-Su's magic caused the crops to fail.
The animals disappeared.
The children starve.
The adults are subjected to forced labor.
The towns around here have changed a lot in the last two years.
Filthy orcs and goblins strut around town in broad daylight.
Like they own the place.
Is this it?
Is this the ideal society you and Kall-Su talk about?
Does this justify why we Three Sorcerer Generals had to fight?
Don't you think even slightly that Kall-Su's methods
are wrong?
Change is always painful.
But beyond that pain lies our ideal.
You trample the people without mercy.
How can that be ideal?
You're insane.
Both you and Kall-Su.
I will bear your insults towards me.
But…
I will not let you insult my lord!
Yajo-Teioken!
He's fast.
Did you see that strike?
I couldn't see it.
Something flashed for an instant.
Oh, no!
Kai! Run!
You did well to dodge my supersonic strike.
But this ends here!
Yajo--
Talas!
What is this?
All right! The petrification spell hit him.
This fight is over.
High Ancient magic?
Did you forget?
Three Sorcerer Generals are stronger magicians than samurai.
Come to your senses, Yngwie von Mattström.
Why can't you see that Kall-Su's reign is evil?
Shut up, traitor.
I won't let you call Lord Kall-Su evil.
You let the enemy ravish your body,
let him into your heart,
becoming nothing but a depraved woman.
You don't have the right.
What?
She let the enemy ravish her body?
Impossible.
Is that…
Is that true, Kai?
When did I…
let anyone ravish me
and corrupt my heart?
You bastard!
What?
He broke the petrification.
It's over, Kai Harn!
What?
This barrier…
It can't be.
This is a high-level defense spell that Clerics use.
Samurai can only use
a limited number of magic spells. Mid-level at best.
Which means
there's a High Priest among them.
Who is it? Where is he?
Y-Yoko?
It's Yoko.
Yoko!
Yoko.
Yoko?
Did they say "Yoko"?
But, that's impossible.
This is a fight to the death.
Why did you interfere?
Don't be a sore loser, Kai.
The enemy's main force is approaching.
It's time to leave.
We'll retreat before we take any more casualties.
Yoko.
Daughter of the Great Priest of Meta-llicana.
Tia Noto Yoko.
I thought she died along with Meta-llicana Castle.
I never imagined she was alive.
How did she escape that massive explosion?
No.
Never mind that.
She's…
beautiful.
The enemy's main force is approaching. Retreat!
-Yes, ma'am! -At once!
Everyone, fall back!
The samurai will guide the civilians.
Hurry!
If your hands are free,
carry as much food as you can.
Wait!
Does that mean the mysterious leader
who made Three Sorcerer Generals join the samurai--
Careful.
That's a defensive barrier, but it can still hurt you.
Sir Sorcerer Shogun.
It was an honor to meet you.
But right now we must protect the people and the food supplies.
Please excuse us.
We'll settle our fight one day.
Just you wait.
Don't try to run away.
Remember this.
None of us will ever kneel to Kall-Su's oppression.
Even if only one of us remains, we will thwart your wicked ambitions.
Tia Noto Yoko.
The only daughter
of one of the five knights who defeated Dark Schneider in the Golem War…
Geo Noto Soto.
Yoko is so cool.
But her clothes look kind of tight.
My pants are getting tight, too.
Yoko.
She's nothing like what Sean told me.
I heard she was more impulsive.
We will thwart Kall-Su's ambitions.
No matter what.
KINGDOM OF A-IAN-MAIDE MOUNTAIN RANGE
And then, when the Sorcerer Shogun got petrified by Kai's Talas spell…
You should have seen the look on his face
when Yoko cast her barrier.
It was freaking hilarious!
Both Kai's Talas spell and Yoko's barrier were awesome.
Right, Schen?
You're right.
They're both amazing women.
Yoko's power is especially amazing.
She's just as strong
as Kai Harn, who has gone through rigid training
as one of the Three Sorcerer Generals.
Clerics' defensive spells are really something, huh?
That's not all.
Her High Priest-class healing spells
match the capabilities of a hundred skilled doctors.
-Yes. -Huh?
She has become invaluable to us.
Most of all, she's smoking hot.
You idiots.
Hm?
I recognize your face.
Of course. You are--
Quiet.
Zion's--
Marie, I promise.
I will avenge you.
Is something the matter, Angus?
As usual, he almost never talks.
I'm impressed.
So she trapped the Sorcerer Shogun with a barrier?
Yes.
She has already mastered High Priest-class spells.
Her progress during her two years here at the samurai residence
is truly remarkable.
That is true.
That young woman's power
has grown at an astonishing rate.
It is due to a change in her mentality,
caused by her resolve to fight.
Her inherent talents have finally awakened.
A resolve to fight…
But, samurai master.
The role that fate has assigned to Yoko is far more important than that.
Yes.
The tide of war is against us.
Kall-Su's army is enormous.
But the fate of the samurai is to fight.
We must avenge our lord.
The late King Harris.
When one's lord meets a tragic death,
one must avenge him, even at the cost of one's life.
That is right. We must prove our loyalty.
For the sake of the order fading from the world.
We must fight.
No matter how difficult and hopeless the battle,
and no matter how many lives will be lost
That is our fate.
And, two years ago,
she came to us, carrying a boy covered in blood,
Her coming here…
An intruder this late at night?
How did they find the samurai residence in this secret village?
I'm not sure.
Could it be a scout from the Dark Rebel Army?
Help!
You're a samurai, right?
I'm begging you, please save him.
Save Lucien!
Her coming here
may also be fate.
Father…
Princess Sheila…
Gara, everyone…
They must be alive somewhere, right?
Kai and I made it, after all.
Yes, they must be alive.
Yoko is in the shower.
Good thing I learned a few ninja skills.
I sense someone.
Is it Vai again?
That guy never learns.
Hey, Vai!
Yoko!
Lucien.
How many times do I have to tell you?
You're a samurai, Vai. Start acting like one.
Okay.
Yay, it's Yoko!
It's been two years.
I've tried the ritual to break the seal many times.
But Dark Schneider's seal
hasn't broken.
So, from now on
It's my turn to protect you.
No matter what happens.
