Hi, Shella!
When are you going to leave?
As soon as I hear the airships are ready.
Listen.
Do this for me while we're gone.
Take care of Lord Kall-Su and the children, all right?
Mm.
Get home safe, Yngwie.
Do that for me.
And for the sake of the children you're taking care of.
BASTARD‼ -HEAVY METAL, DARK FANTASY-
HELL'S REQUIEM
Tell us what you know.
TELEPORTATION
Why aren't the Shogun with the expeditionary army?
Where are they? And what are they doing?
Shit, you don't know anything, do you?
The Sorcerer Shogun aren't even on this continent.
You're lying.
Where the hell are they?
King Crimson Glory.
There's nothing you can do about it.
What?
King Crimson Glory?
It can't be.
And you'll never catch them.
Because I happen to know the Sorcerer Shogun
are using airships to get there.
And soon now, Anthrasax, the God of Destruction will awaken.
It's all over for you now!
"King" what?
It's from an old legend.
A once thriving city that the elves abandoned.
Are you kidding?
I know that legend well.
An advanced civilization that had mastered magic.
But 100 years ago,
they all suddenly vanished, abandoning the entire city.
At least, that's how the legend goes.
"The God of Destruction will awaken."
Sounds like he's saying that that's where the last seal is located.
And is that where Princess Sheila will be?
Such a secluded and far location.
Dark Schneider must have used transportation to send her there.
Just like what happened to me and Lucien.
Mm.
However, there's no way humans can locate elven cities.
They're in a different sphere and there's a magic barrier.
The elves did that
because they hated interacting with humans.
How'd our enemies find this fallen city then?
Not only that, how'd they learn the seal was there after all this time?
Good questions.
But right now, the only thing that matters
is reaching Princess Sheila as soon as possible.
I pray it's not too late.
Not only that,
we have to reach the fallen city before the sorcerers do, right?
If they do break the final seal
and resurrect the God of Destruction,
it'll mean extinction for the human race.
Hmm.
But we don't even know where this fallen city is.
It was Lucien or actually Dark Schneider
who transported Princess Sheila there.
So he must know where the fallen city is.
What are you doing?
Snap out of it!
How can you think about sex at a time like this?
Let go of me!
-That idiot. -Creep! Stop it!
He wants to fight me for real?
Or does he have some other reason?
Storm coming.
Hey.
Your wounds healing up okay?
Yeah, I'm all right.
Well, we're almost to the hideout now.
Hang in there.
Yo, now don't forget, if we get separated somehow,
the plan is we meet up back here.
Hey, are you listening to me, you moron?
Just had a flashback of a guy I really hate.
But that was two years ago.
I'm sure nobody's waiting there anymore.
Oh, Darsh.
What is this strange sensation?
I… I feel like…
like there's something wrong with me all of a sudden.
For some reason, I feel embarrassed
about having Lucien watching me dance.
I can't seem to get him out of my mind.
I love you.
To have you, I'd give a billion lives.
I'm gonna make love to you.
I…
Uh… Mm… No…
He came on to me with such strength.
No!
It's like he'd sleep with anyone.
Or…
is it just because I always reject him?
This is her dance for victory and battle.
And it's got a little extra passion in it today.
Yeah.
It's like she's in love or something.
Yoko…
Hmm. All right then.
If those are the king's orders.
Hey, Joshua.
Do you know why the prince asked us to meet with him down here?
I'm not sure.
He just gave me the time and place and said it was important.
-Huh. -Get out!
If you ask me, he's got a lot of nerve asking us to come down here
to this filthy, stinking sewer.
A guy as handsome as me
should never be seen in the company of rats.
I don't even dare touch anything or my new outfit's gonna get dirty.
Hey, Yoko, what do you think by the way?
Hmph.
I knew it!
She's ignoring me now!
What is that?
It's an enormous machine.
It's a gate.
That thing is called a gate.
What's it for?
Transportation.
It's an elvish machine.
But what's it doing here?
Mm?
That's exactly right.
I'm impressed, Dark Schneider.
There you are, Prince Mercy.
This entire castle once belonged to the elves
before our ancestors, uh, shall we say, helped themselves to it.
I can't believe this thing's still here.
If it's elvish, does it run on magic?
I bet no one around here even knows how to start it.
Look there, see that? There's some writing on it.
Uh, let's see.
"A high place… A road of stars?"
You can read that, Yoko?
Um…
Well, it looks similar to holy script,
but it's not at all the same.
I'm not really sure it's Elvish.
Their grammar is different.
Could it be written in some kind of code?
An anagram?
But it's quite amazing.
I've never seen such intricate writings before.
No, it isn't Elvish.
This has to be another related language that's even older than that.
It would take a holy man or a sage
to be able to decipher and understand this writing.
It's just too complicated.
I see.
-"The gate of journeys… -Huh?
…to reach a high place, place a guide on the road of stars."
"Then it goes on, carry all those who travel from afar
from there to here and from here to there as light does travel."
It's Enoch script from the Age of the Gods, long extinct.
This is a manual written by the high elves.
A guide to operate the machine.
Ah, you're not joking?
You can read that?
Of course I can.
I'm the hero.
Are you serious, Lucien?
I can't believe it!
Yoko.
Did… did you really believe I was stupid or something all this time?
Mm-hmm.
That's enough honesty.
Now hear this, trash!
This device created by the great elf wizards eons ago,
is only one of their many magical inventions,
what we have here is one of the last of its kind,
still in existence.
A device containing magic strong enough to open a gate
that transcends time and space.
It can transport someone thousands of miles away,
in the blink of an eye.
Now, since this castle once belonged to the elves,
it stands to reason that this gate must be connected
to their elven capital.
It leads to King Crimson Glory.
Yeah! That's more like it!
Now we're sure to get there before those Sorcerer Shogun.
That's awesome!
I always knew we'd find a way.
Well done, Dark Schneider.
To reward you, I may even forgive your previous disobedience.
Just prove your undying allegiance to me now.
Lu, I give my royalty creed to you.
Use this device to take us to Princess Sheila
by my command!
No way.
Huh? What did you say just now?
It almost sounded like you said no.
-To be exact, I said "no way." -Huh?
How dare you!
How dare you say no!
What are you doing, Lucien?
Hmph.
Well, now,
not what I expected.
Did I hear you wrong just now?
Do you really not care about the God of Destruction reawakening?
You do realize what will happen if she does, don't you?
Aren't you worried about the human race?
Don't you care about the million innocent people?
Blown all to hell? Huh?
Say something!
Don't you even care what happens to Princess Sheila, you heartless maniac?
Don't you realize our life is hanging in the balance here?
Do you know you're the only one
who can operate this transportation device, Dark Schneider?
I don't get it.
Don't you want to use that amazing power that you've been given
to help out people who are in trouble and uphold justice?
Huh?
Blah, blah, blah!
Isn't it obvious, you idiot?
I don't care about any of that trash.
They're gonna get just what's coming to them in the painful bitter end.
All weaklings oughta die!
Ugh. That's one horrible man.
Lucien, how could you…
I couldn't care less what Kall-Su and the God of Destruction do.
Because I, Dark Schneider,
am going to start a war to conquer the world.
And I intend to kill anyone who tries to get in my way.
Blood will flow,
and then I will rule the world
as the Demon King, Lord Dark Schneider
from now till the end of time!
Oh, jeez, not again.
So it begins.
You traitorous bastard!
I owe you one, but you make me wanna vomit.
-Hold it right there! -Huh?
Is that…
Hmph! Such a mess you idiots are making.
What would you do without me?
The old lady!
-Wha-- Uh-- Mom? -Stop it!
All of you just stop getting so worked up about
the silly little things that little kid tells you.
"That little kid"?
400 YEARS OLD
This kid is just kinda rotten inside.
See? It's like he's got a twisted heart.
That's the whole problem with him.
He was just made that way.
He can't help himself when he starts jabbering.
Haven't you figured that out yet?
Is she defending him? Really?
Yeah, I still hate him.
All the same,
there's a good kid deep inside him.
One time, when I was in big trouble,
Lucien here protected me.
Ain't that right, Little Lu? Hm?
All right, I'll start the machine, fine!
Yeah!
-Who-hoo! -That's good!
Oh, man!
Hey, old lady!
I'm all done with the laundry!
Oh, that's just great.
Good job, Little Lu.
Da samo supejea…
I can finally see it.
…Ivo woazu! Piteen da hama…
For the first time,
I'm seeing the two of them overlapping.
Andanvil!
So this is the legendary power of elven magic!
And to think they created all of this hundreds of years ago!
It's ready.
Mm.
My samurai, protectors of the true faith.
We have been given one last chance to restore peace and harmony to the land.
We here are the chosen ones
and we've been entrusted with the vital mission,
to rescue Princess Sheila.
She holds the last seal of the God of Destruction, Anthrasax.
If we allow her to fall into the hands of the enemy,
humankind will be finished.
The only guarantee I can give you
is that the upcoming battle will be harsh.
However, find strength in the knowledge that victory
is ever within the grasp of the righteous.
We shall not let Kall-Su have his way!
That's odd. Hmm…
Lars is nowhere to be found all of a sudden.
Mm.
Good luck to you, Joshua.
In the morning, we'll join the rebel army that started the uprising,
and we'll catch Judas Castle with its defenses down.
Yeah.
The time has finally come.
But still, don't forget Kall-Su will be there.
Don't die.
Right.
There's something else in our favor as well.
It's supposed to be a secret
when I heard that the Great Priest of Meta-llicana,
Geo Noto Soto, is gonna join us in battle.
RANK 120: HOLY FIST OF STEEL GEO NOTO SOTO IS READY
With the war heroes, Lord Geo and Lord Mifune
both on our side,
Kall-Su is no match for us.
No way!
I didn't know Yoko's father was even still alive.
He is.
Apparently, he's staying with the Wise Men of Europea.
Unreal.
That's amazing news.
But for now, don't tell Yoko about it.
She hasn't known if he was alive or dead all this time.
So hearing that could be too emotional for her right now,
and I don't want her to lose her focus.
-'Cause you're always so mean to him! -We need her because she'll be
the only one who can control that man.
We'll take out Kall-Su
and be waiting for you at Judas Castle.
Good luck.
Judas Castle, the enemy's stronghold,
and King Crimson Glory,
the enchanted city.
These samurai are confident.
But this battle will be harder than anything we've ever fought before.
How many of these brave warriors will make it through alive?
Will humankind meet its downfall?
Or is it this nightmare from the ancient world
that will be destroyed?
It will be the greatest battle and the last battle.
A battle from hell.
Is everyone ready?
Yes.
Do you really need to ask?
We don't fear death.
SAMURAI ANGUS YARN
Angus, you're such a damn blabbermouth!
PRIEST TIA NOTO YOKO
Ugh! Enough with the stupid promo!
I have no intention of dying alongside you morons on this mission.
Ow!
Don't be so rude.
Try showing some enthusiasm.
Like how?
Figure it out.
And if your attitude doesn't improve, mister,
you're not getting your snack today.
Why are you so unfair, Yoko?
You're so unfair!
Say fine.
Fine.
PITIFUL MAN
Well…
Great!
Huh?
Wow!
And just like that, she's back to her normal self again!
Uh, what's your deal?
Tsk. He's a disgrace to men.
I don't know what to do.
I wasn't planning on going with them to King Crimson Glory,
but how can I let them leave
with that guy in charge of saving Princess Sheila?
Agya! Agya!
Lars? Ah! There you are!
That'll teach you to run off when I'm looking for you!
Hey!
All right, samurai!
It's our date with destiny!
And now I, Prince Mercy,
will lead you all into glorious, victorious battle in the--
Oh, no, my prince! My prince!
It's shallow enough to stand, my Prince.
All right, let's go.
Hold on, Princess Sheila.
The samurai, they're coming.
We're coming to save you.
Into the portal, everyone.
Here we go.
To King Crimson Glory!
I just hope they're in time.
All right, Hammet.
Let's get ready for battle.
Right.
We're all counting on you, samurai.
And you too…
Dark Schneider.
