The rebel forces are scattered across the Central Metallion Continent.
Nevertheless, it seems they still continue to resist us.
Dispatch our demi-human allies
to attack the autonomous merchant cities and their satellite villages
and root out this rebel scum.
Yes, sir!
But they must do this without the help of any Sorcerer Shogun.
What? Why is that?
Because I have a very different mission for all of you.
Now then…
I'm sending you to the fallen city of the elves.
King Crimson Glory.
BASTARD‼ -HEAVY METAL, DARK FANTASY-
HELL'S REQUIEM
DEPARTURE
Please! No! Mercy, mercy!
No! Have mercy!
-I just love it when they squeal. -Any volunteers?
Father!
Daddy!
That little boy and his sister are next.
How about we feed this kid to the hydra?
Save me, sister!
No, please. Let him go!
Whoa, there.
We're gonna have some fun before we feed you to the hydra too.
Those damn orcs…
Is that the only thing those guys ever think about?
Give me a break.
They're like a bunch of animals.
At this rate, they're gonna skewer every one of our prisoners.
People say us hobgoblins are bad,
but compared to those monsters, we're downright honorable.
Speaking of which, look at my honorable collection of heads.
Not bad, huh?
Whoa, I guess somebody around here has been busy.
Ah, that's nothing.
Take a look at this.
Now, this is a collection.
You just picked those up off the ground.
Where do you think you're going?
-We're just getting started! -Help me!
Somebody, please! Ah!
What's that?
That was like somebody dragging something big along the ground.
Huh?
What the hell?
Who or what are you supposed to be?
Well, handsome for one thing.
Say what?
Here, catch!
Oh, jeez!
So many heads!
What are you all standing around for?
Don't tell me that you orcs are actually sorry
that I crushed that ugly friend of yours's skull.
As a matter of fact, we are.
And you're gonna be sorry you did it.
Hey, wait a minute.
Am I wrong or is this guy all alone?
You're right.
This guy's on his own.
He's got no army, no backup, no nothing.
You fool!
You really gonna take all of us on all by yourself?
What are you, some kind of lunatic?
Or just an idiot?
Kaizard, alzard.
Kiske, hansen, grosskopf, sielck…
Sister! Sister!
Turn to ash. Wisemen of Hades, all…
Hold fast the seven keys…
Swing wide the gate of hell!
Now, die! Helloween!
Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
What happened to my army?
The great army bestowed on me by Lord Kall-Su himself…
It's… it's… gone.
All right, you samurai.
I'm gonna let you finish mopping up anyone who's left.
Man, what an asshole.
Don't worry. It's all right now.
Thank you for coming to our rescue.
Okay, Yoko!
I did just like you wanted.
So, come on now. Pucker up and give me my reward.
Hey! What do you think you're doing?
Turn around and stop staring.
Without the chain of command, they fall apart pretty quickly.
Orcs and goblins have no concept of loyalty.
Seems he already won this battle.
He did.
But I still can't believe he wiped out half an army in the blink of an eye.
Just glad he's not on our enemy's side.
Sure.
Not that we can really be sure he's on our side either.
-Okay? Just a little one. -No way! Grow up!
The army sent by Kall-Su to attack the autonomous cities
is made up entirely of demi-humans.
We haven't seen any sign of a Sorcerer Shogun being among them.
Really?
That's odd…
with an expedition of that size,
you think Kall-Su would put a Sorcerer Shogun in charge.
It doesn't make sense.
We agree with you.
We're questioning the prisoners about it now.
I wonder… you don't think they found out the truth about Lucien, do you?
Of course not. Impossible.
Let's just forget about it.
It was a long time ago.
Hell, it's not like I'm gonna hold a grudge for 17 years.
If I was still mad, I would have killed you by now.
You, Geo, that old lady, the whole lot of you.
"Let bygones be bygones," that's what I'd say.
Yeah, I guess you're just lucky that the Dark Schneider
is not only beautiful, intelligent, and powerful,
but also incredibly generous and merciful.
Agya!
Anyway, you look so old and creaky.
I feel sorry for you.
Hmm. He's a lot different than he used to be.
Hey!
Quit being so loud.
We're trying to have a council of war.
Huh?
Yay, Yoko!
Yoko!
-What? -Hey!
Get off of her!
Try that again and I'm gonna punch you for real.
That… that wasn't for real?
Whoa.
"Whoa" is right.
Yoko sure has changed.
It's like the tension's gone from her now.
Like she's been released from a curse.
That always happens to girls as they grow up
and stop being children.
Yeah, I've noticed that.
Why do you always have to do things like that?
Hey! Look at me when I'm talking.
I would but you're too scary.
Dark Schneider…
WOMAN IN SHOWER!
It's exhausting just being around that idiot.
Even since Lucien changed, I've had to be on my guard every second.
Mm.
Who's there?
Vai, is that you again?
Vai?
Go! Get out of here!
Wow! You look beautiful, Yoko!
We're both so beautiful.
No! Wait!
Stop it!
Don't!
A-ha!
You're finally ready to accept my love.
I can see it.
No, I'm not!
I love you.
You don't mean that. Not really.
Now, you just stay right there where you are and--
Stop, don't come any closer.
CENSORED
Yoko.
No, stay back.
Lucien, that's enough.
I swear, I'll use it.
I'm totally serious.
To have you, I'd give a billion lives.
Lu… Lucien…
Yoko.
My love.
Lucien…
I…
No…
No!
Listen, I have to suck the poison out of you.
Make sure you grow up into good women.
Otherwise, I'll be back.
Hmph. Get a grip.
What is wrong with you?
You're supposed to be the one that swore off man, aren't you?
Especially a man like him.
Can't do it. Sorry.
I have to protect him, Kai.
Even if that means I'm opposing Empress Nei
and betraying you.
Men, they're so…
-Deep in thought? -Ah…
Mm.
You surprised me, Joshua.
Who did you think it was?
Hmph.
You've recovered well from all your injuries, I hope?
Yeah. I'm doing well.
Everyone is.
My body even feels lighter somehow.
I still can't believe it.
The way he can turn a bug wielder's own power against him.
That fellow never ceases to astonish me.
To think that Lucien is Dark Schneider,
the legendary wizard who fought against Lord Mifune
and the great hero Prince Lars in the war 17 years ago.
His magic can destroy an entire army.
There's no one in the world with the power to make him bend the knee.
He's completely different from you and me.
And the way he thinks, the way he lives, and the way he fights.
He's not bound by the rules and traditions which bind us,
as knights and samurai.
In a way, he's like Macapine and the other Sorcerer Shoguns.
He's free to use any means and do anything it takes to win.
I do envy that freedom.
Okay, but don't forget, even Sorcerer Shoguns are bound by fate.
Hmph.
Besides, that lunatic…
He lacks even the most basic sense of justice, fairness, or morality.
The only thing he cares about is satisfying his own desires.
That's not us.
There's nothing about him we should envy.
You're right.
You bet I am.
You'd bring a Sorcerer General into the samurai residence?
Forget it.
The Three Sorcerer Generals are the ones leading the Dark Rebel Army.
They are the enemy.
But one of them isn't. Not anymore.
The one who left them
and fought on our side against them back in Meta-llicana.
Her magic is powerful.
You can't say she wouldn't be a big help to us.
But, uh…
Never mind, Yoko.
It's fine with me if you samurai don't want my services.
I only came because Yoko asked me to.
If you don't want me, I'll go.
But… Wait a minute.
Tell me your name, at least.
I'm Kai Harn.
You know, you always surprise me as well, Kai.
Huh?
My god, the way you look tonight.
What is it?
Nothing.
It's a lovely evening.
Whoa, that was close.
I almost gave in.
Maybe… if you were just a little more…
Yeah. Maybe then…
We've double-checked the drive systems
and armaments, Lord Yngwie.
They are all good.
We are ready to leave at sunrise tomorrow.
I don't want to wait.
We're leaving right now.
Leaving right now, sir?
Lord Kall-Su's orders are clear.
The other Sorcerer Shoguns are already preparing to take off.
-I will not be the last. -Sir.
The seal is about to be broken.
And Anthrasax, the God of Destruction, will reawaken.
Good. Everyone's asleep and the coast is clear.
Oh, the way Yoko looked…
Tonight, she has to give in.
I'll sneak into her room and surprise her.
Yoko! Yoko, I'm coming!
Tonight's the night.
This is the night our love is finally consummated
with the cherry on top.
It's that dream again.
The same dream I kept having
when I was being treated at the Temple of Cant.
Wait. Stop what you are doing.
Wait, please.
No, please!
Who is this man?
Wow. So it really feels as good as that, huh?
Well, just you wait.
It only gets better as it goes along.
No…
What's wrong with me?
I… I can't resist.
My body feels so hot.
I thought I would stop him.
What the hell do you think you're doing?
Ah, damn it. It's just you.
I must've got turned around.
I thought this was Yoko's room.
Well, any port in a storm.
Now you just lie there and let me do the rest.
Hey, that reminds me.
I think you owe me a favor, little lady.
Two favors.
If you wanna try and stab me, go ahead.
We never did finish our duel, did we?
But before you do that, you owe me.
You gotta pay me back, right?
I mean, it's only fair.
So how do I pay you back?
Hmph.
You know what I want.
We're gonna have a naked sumo wrestling match.
Winner takes all.
No!
Stop.
Yoko's going to hear us.
You dirty, two-timing sleazebag!
Huh?
Yo… Yoko?
I should have known you were full of it.
What was it you said?
"To have you, I'd give a billion lives."
You're right. Yeah.
Sorry!
What the hell is going on?
Who knows, but man, is he loud?
I heard noises so I thought I'd come in and see what was wrong.
And I caught you in here about to do something with Kai, didn't I?
Uh-- I-- That's Kai's bedroom, isn't it?
Wait.
Okay, what the hell is going on?
First Yoko and now Kai?
I'm gonna kill you!
Whoa. This is bad.
We should do something before someone…
Huh? Wait! Not that.
He is fast.
At least, when he's running away.
But then I guess, he's fast in other ways too.
Huh, Kai?
Wait, Yoko.
It… it's not what you think.
It… it wasn't…
You've got to be more careful.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean you're beautiful, right?
You know you could have any man around here if you wanted.
Huh?
Men, they're all the same.
They tell you that you're so special,
but all they really care about is getting with a woman, any woman.
If you're fool enough to give them what they want,
they move on to the next one.
They're disgusting.
Mm.
Yeah. I agree.
So ten against one, huh?
-Is that the samurai way? -Shut up, you!
Joshua, no!
Stop it! Stop!
Altitude and azimuth confirmed.
Internal pressure is stable.
All units are on course.
Lord Yngwie, we detected an area of strong winds up ahead.
And we've spotted thunderclouds.
-Shall we go around, sir? -No.
This mission is vital.
Lord Kall-Su has dispatched his entire fleet of airships
and every Sorcerer Shogun.
It is imperative that we get there as quickly as possible.
The Eyes of the World will lead us safely to that place
where the last seal awaits us.
We've received a signal from Yngwie's ship.
All units to maintain course.
Hmm…
Just don't let Yngwie get ahead of us.
Straight through that storm!
Hold your course!
Aye, aye!
Let's see how their famous samurai way fares
when it comes up against reality.
Those samurai thought they had it tough
when all they had to deal with was a bunch of lousy demi-humans.
No one, not even Dark Schneider has a chance of stopping us now.
There's no flying man wizard or creature alive
that can beat a well-equipped airship in a long-distance flight
because we never need to rest.
Once awakened, Anthrasax, the God of Destruction,
will purify the world.
And we know the last seal lies
within the body of Sheila Tuel Meta-llicana,
princess of the former Kingdom of Meta-llicana.
We will have that seal,
even if we have to cut her open and get it.
We are going to a place no human has ever seen
or even knows the whereabouts of.
A legendary place,
the fallen city of the elves, King Crimson Glory.
