[intense ominous music playing]
Dark Schneider!
You had better not go dying on me right now!
[deep rumbling]
[Yoko gasping]
[Dark Schneider] Dark Schneider!
The ultimate handsome hero is back
with an immortal, made-of-steel,
big volcano, big eruption storm, coming just for you!
Oh yeah. We're gonna do it!
[both] Thank goodness he's okay!
[Lars exclaiming]
Dark Schneider.
[ninja gasping] What the…?
I can't believe he's still standing after that last attack.
Ah, shut up!
Of course, I'd survive a puny attack like that.
Don't make it such a big deal, you fools!
[scoffing] I'm not some impoverished, groveling commoner, you know?
I was chosen by the gods.
A handsome hero blessed with dazzling beauty.
My power is on a whole different level, and I will rule the world!
[cackling]
[Dark Schneider groaning]
[Arshes grunting]
[Gara] That idiot!
He's acting tough, but he just took a ton of damage.
He got hit by Exodus.
[scoffing] You can stop pretending that you're immortal, Dark Schneider.
[Dark Schneider straining]
[Arshes] It's over for you now.
You don't have enough strength left to fight.
I will kill you and be one step closer to building our utopia.
Yeah, right. You don't have what it takes.
What? You are wrong!
I will kill you! And I will prove it to you right now!
Arshes, wait!
[Arshes gasping]
I love you.
[opening theme music playing]
[music fades]
WAVERING
You know I do.
[Arshes gasping]
Shut up!
You fall in love with any woman you set your eyes on!
I don't accept your love for me!
[gasping]
Second Heat spell,
I command thee!
Rise from the heavens, oh spirits of thunder!
Come, Gilbert!
[creature chittering, roaring]
[ninja gasping] What are those?
They're thunder spirits.
Nei's summoning them from the wind elemental plane.
However, summoning spirits is a double-edged sword.
If she loses focus, she'll lose control,
and the spirits will start attacking the sorcerer who summoned them.
[scoffing] Thunder spirits? What an unusual choice.
[both] Wa quo! Raven!
-[ninjas gasping] -[ninja 2] It's a high-level flight spell!
Fire spirits!
O eternal flames of darkness, heed my call!
Tafolla!
[ninja] Whoa! Dark Schneider's summoning too!
They're salamanders.
Of course.
Fire spirits are the only ones capable of fighting thunder spirits.
Normally, a sorcerer can only summon one spirit at a time,
but these two are strong enough to control multiple.
They're no ordinary sorcerers.
Move forward, my spirits of thunder!
Stop it! Please, Arsh!
You don't have to do this!
Shut your mouth! You can't call me by that name!
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[Arshes] You won't get away!
[Dark Schneider] What's this utopia you're talking about?
What a pain.
I get why someone like Kall-Su would be interested in it,
but can't you see it's just an excuse for him to conquer the world?
No. You're wrong!
He's not like you, conquering the world just to build yourself a harem!
[Dark Schneider groaning]
[Arshes] The Sorcerer Kingdom is the ultimate utopia,
a place where magic rules.
A world without discrimination, poverty, or war.
I'm willing to risk my life to build a kingdom like that for everyone!
What a dumb lie!
It's absolutely impossible to create eternal peace here on earth!
War and hatred are just a part of what it means to be human!
A barbarian like you would think that.
You'll never be able to understand how I feel.
I'm a half-elf who was born in a time of war.
Neither the humans nor the elves would accept me.
You have no idea how hard it was.
I was constantly teased!
I was insulted, despised, hated, and discriminated against.
Ever since I was a child, my body has been covered in wounds.
[Young Arshes sobbing]
[Arshes] One day, war broke out amongst the Wood Elves.
The Dark Elves took me in, and I thought I had a home.
However, eventually they abandoned me.
[dramatic music playing]
[Arshes] I didn't understand what happened.
I wandered around the burning fields for days,
but my tribe had long since fled the area.
[Arshes scoffing]
They got rid of me because I was a nuisance.
[Dark Schneider] Arshes.
But I learned something while starving in the freezing cold that day.
Half-elves deserve a place where they can live in peace!
And that is why I'm willing to risk my life to build that utopia!
Darsh, it's time for you to die!
[all gasping]
[Arshes gasping]
But, Arsh, how can you forget?
How can you forget that you grabbed onto my robe
when I was walking by that day?
And for the next 100 years,
I gave you a place where you could live in peace.
Try to remember, Arshes.
Remember how things were when we lived together.
We were family.
[Arshes] Darsh.
Over these past 15 years,
I've never forgotten.
Not for a single day.
And the 100 years before are all happy memories.
They were like paradise.
You didn't have to take me in…
[music fades]
[Arshes] …but you did.
Darsh.
Arsh.
[Arshes moaning]
[Arshes] Darsh. Darsh!
[heart beating]
[Arshes' breath shuddering]
[Arshes groaning, grunting]
[Arshes gasping]
[intense ominous music playing]
What's wrong?
[Arshes groaning]
[screaming]
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[all gasping]
[Dark Schneider groaning]
No, Arsh.
[cackling]
It is just what I expected to happen.
Take a look for yourself, Kall-Su.
Arshes' nail has now turned from blue to purple.
[Abigail cackling]
[Abigail] That damn half-elf.
It looks like you still had feelings for Dark Schneider, after all.
I knew it.
Well, the next part will be fun to watch.
The more that Nei opens her heart to Dark Schneider,
the more the Accused spell implanted in her nail will strangle her.
And it won't be long before the nail turns to a bright crimson.
Which means, Nei will have completely betrayed the Four Divine Kings,
and her body will be torn to pieces!
And then, once the spell takes effect,
all that will be left of her is an ugly, little toad.
Do you not wish to watch?
There's no reason to.
If Nei dies, then one of us will have to defeat Dark Schneider in her stead.
We should prepare for that.
I'm going to return to my army.
[Abigail] Hmm.
That looks quite painful.
[Abigail cackling]
[Abigail] Arshes Nei.
There's only one way to free yourself.
Dark Schneider must be killed by ripping his heart out from his chest!
That's the only way to break the Accused spell, half-elf!
[Abigail cackling]
Arsh, what's wrong?
[Arshes groaning, grunting]
[Dark Schneider grunting]
And here I was about to fall for your tricks again.
[Dark Schneider] Nei?
You must have fooled hundreds of women by now,
and used them as tools to satisfy your own ambition!
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[Gara grunting] The salamanders are acting strangely.
Dark Schneider's mental focus must be getting weaker.
[Dark Schneider grunting]
He's holding on,
but if he takes any more damage, he won't make it.
[Arshes] Now it's time to send you to your grave.
Wolf Fang Thunder Blast!
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[Sheila shrieking]
He's taking too much damage to survive!
[Dark Schneider grunting]
No, Lucien!
You are my enemy and not my family anymore!
[dramatic music playing]
[Arshes' breath shuddering]
[Arshes] Whenever we had a fight, you'd say that to me.
I'm so sorry, Darsh.
I know that it was my fault. Please, don't hate me.
Come on. There's no need to cry.
You know I love you.
Are you sure you do?
Of course, I do.
[Arshes] First, you'd say, "You're not my daughter,"
then you'd say, "I love you."
It was always the same.
Whatever suited you.
[Dark Schneider straining]
[Arshes] Darsh.
To you, I was just some half-elf girl you decided to take in.
But… but to me…
Do you have any idea how important you were to me?
[Dark Schneider grunting]
I will not accept surrender from anyone who clashes with my blade.
You will lose to me, Darsh.
And then, I'll cut you into tiny, little pieces!
[cackling]
[Arshes] You were like my father, and you were my lover,
but it's more than just that.
You were the only one… the only one I had to hold on to.
To me, you were everything I knew about love!
But now, please just die already!
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[both gasping]
But why?
Why do you keep getting up?
Why, Darsh?
[Yoko] It's weird.
Here aura doesn't seem evil anymore.
I'm sensing something else.
[Young Arshes crying]
[Yoko] A crying child.
Yeah. Something's changed.
[ninja] Why are the spirits going out of control?
[Gara] Has Nei lost control of the thunder spirits?
[all gasping]
Watch out, girl!
Yoko! Yoko!
Huh?
Watch out, Yoko!
No. Yoko.
[Arshes] Yoko.
[rubble clattering]
[gasping]
-Whoa! That was close! -[ninjas gasping]
You got pretty lucky that time.
[coughing, gasping]
I wouldn't go down that easy.
Come on. I'm too young to die.
[Lars exclaiming]
Princess Sheila! Are you okay? Say something!
[Sheila groaning]
Oh, good. I guess she just passed out.
[Gara] Oh no.
They're attacking.
The spirits are going after Dark Schneider and Nei!
[dramatic music playing]
[Arshes] No.
I'm horrible.
[inaudible]
[Arshes] I…
It's done, Dark Schneider.
I'm going to end this with my next spell.
You've only got enough strength left for one more attack.
So give it your all.
And if you can't beat me,
your woman is going to die next!
[Gara] Something's wrong.
When the thunder spirits attacked Yoko, they were already free from Nei's control.
So what is she trying to do?
[Yoko] I knew it.
There's something weird going on with her.
It doesn't look like she's trying to kill Lucien.
I can't let you hurt Yoko.
I won't forgive anyone who tries to hurt her.
So let's fight!
[Arshes scoffing]
[Abigail cackling]
Well then, you really must hurry, Arshes Nei.
Otherwise, the nail will destroy you once it turns red!
Rip out Dark Schneider's heart and use his blood to break the spell!
If you want to live!
[Young Arshes giggling]
It's time to start, Dark Schneider!
This destruction spell will be the one to end you once and for all!
Go ahead and try it!
I'm going to fight back with the most powerful spell I've ever used.
[grandmother] Whoa! It's already begun!
We won't make it.
Damn! The two of them are using such powerful magic down there.
At this rate, they're going to end up killing each other!
[grandmother] No.
When I saw Dark Schneider in my vision, he was a corpse.
His heart had been ripped out his chest.
The outcome of this battle has already been decided.
[wind whooshing]
[Gara] The storm is ending.
[thunder rumbling]
[Arshes grunting]
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[Gara] Here goes. The two of them are about to cast their spells!
[both] Kiske, hansen, grosskopf, sielck…
No way! They're casting the same spell!
Right now, Dark Schneider's spell is not yet complete!
[both] Turn my enemies to ashes, O sage of Hades.
Open the gates of Hell with the seven keys!
[all shouting]
That's impossible! How could Nei learn this?
The ultimate spell of destruction!
[both] Helloween!
[Arshes] Goodbye, Dark Schneider.
I love you.
[all groaning]
Lucien!
[ninja] They're locked in battle!
It's… it's an even match!
No. It's not. Take a closer look.
[ninjas gasping]
[ninja] The rocks behind Nei are cracking!
[Gara] Nei's getting pushed back!
Dark Schneider's spell does seem to be overpowering her.
But the Helloween spell isn't meant to be released for such a long time.
This will only last a few more seconds.
The magical force is building up!
It's going to blow Nei away!
[Arshes grunting, groaning]
[Arshes moaning]
[Arshes] Hurry.
Please,
put an end to this before this curse transforms me into a toad.
Darsh.
[Yoko] It looks like she's crying.
[Gara] The battle is about to be decided.
[Yoko] She's crying for him.
It doesn't matter that she's adopted,
it's wrong for a parent and a child to fight to the death!
We have to stop this madness!
Gara, can't you do something?
Impossible!
It would be insane to try and stop them now!
They're locked in a trance while they're casting the spell!
There's nothing we can do!
Once a sorcerer casts a spell,
the energy has to go somewhere!
[all gasping]
Once it's begun to release, there's no way anyone can reverse it!
No way.
Lucien!
[dramatic music swelling]
[Gara] She won't last.
This is the Empress of Thunder's last moment.
[Arshes groaning, moaning]
[Dark Schneider growling]
[Arshes] Once I die,
I beg you, please, hold me one last time,
Darsh.
[Lucien] Dark Schneider.
What's that? I can hear a voice.
[Dark Schneider gasping]
Who's this?
Are you Lucien Renlen?
Dark Schneider.
Can't you tell she's suffering a pain worse than death?
Don't you see that Arshes is doing this because she loves you so much.
Open you eyes.
And take a good look at your precious daughter.
[Dark Schneider gasping]
What did you say?
It's…
[Arshes grunting, groaning]
[Dark Schneider] …Accused!
You see?
Nei doesn't want to die by the curse, nor does she want to kill you.
She wishes to die by the hand of the one she loves.
[Dark Schneider gasping] There's no way!
Abigail, that son of a bitch!
[Arshes] Darsh.
I love you.
[ending theme music playing]
[Dark Schneider] Abigail did this!
You asshole! How could you?
What did you do to my sweet Arshes?
[music fades]
[Gara] The Helloween spell is disappearing.
[gasping] There's no way.
Lucien.
I see. Transfer magic.
He sent the Helloween spell somewhere else.
[Arshes groaning, breath shuddering]
I…
But why?
[Arshes gasping]
Why, Darsh.
[Dark Schneider] Does it hurt, Arsh?
I will set you free from it.
[Arshes crying]
[Arshes gasping]
[Dark Schneider grunting]
[Dark Schneider yelling]
[Dark Schneider screaming]
