1. As the world man had
built was buried in ash,
Copy !req
2. a leader appeared.
Copy !req
3. A man who would later be
known as Raffles the 1st.
Copy !req
4. Raffles and his disciples
embarked on a quest
Copy !req
5. to find new light, and they did.
Copy !req
6. What Raffles found was
an unsullied flame,
Copy !req
7. the spark that would
kindle an empire.
Copy !req
8. Here.
Copy !req
9. Granddad, Pop, I brought
your favorite sodas.
Copy !req
10. They're open, too,
Copy !req
11. so you don't have to worry
about gettin' sprayed.
Copy !req
12. With the two of you gone,
Copy !req
13. I've got three times
as much work to do.
Copy !req
14. Luckily, you didn't
raise a slacker,
Copy !req
15. so I'm makin' it work.
Copy !req
16. Once I set my mind,
there's not much I can't do.
Copy !req
17. Also, I've got some good
people helping me.
Copy !req
18. They're my new family.
Copy !req
19. Whew.
Copy !req
20. [YU]
Hey, Vulcan.
Copy !req
21. You mind taking a look
at my prototype?
Copy !req
22. Whoa. Nice. Ya put this
together pretty well.
Copy !req
23. [YU]
Thanks for saying so.
Copy !req
24. Now let's test it.
Copy !req
25. [YU]
Like how?
Copy !req
26. No! Why?
Copy !req
27. Sorry, kid.
It was just too fragile.
Copy !req
28. [YU] What? Everything's fragile
if you smash it that hard!
Copy !req
29. No. Not true.
Copy !req
30. There are certain
things in this world
Copy !req
31. that should never break.
Copy !req
32. Things that people depend on.
Copy !req
33. Yeah, like what?
Copy !req
34. Like boats or bridges.
Copy !req
35. If they broke at random,
people would die.
Copy !req
36. Then there's Amaterasu.
Copy !req
37. An everlasting power source—
Copy !req
38. it never stops and
it never breaks down.
Copy !req
39. Because if it ever did,
Copy !req
40. that would be an
Empire-wide disaster.
Copy !req
41. Hey, Yu, and, Vulc!
Food's ready.
Copy !req
42. Wow, Lisa. Yeah, speakin' of
things too precious to break.
Copy !req
43. They're just rice
omelettes. Tear into 'em.
Copy !req
44. Thanks for the food.
Copy !req
45. All things must pass.
Copy !req
46. They say that anything with
form'll fall apart someday.
Copy !req
47. That idea kinda
makes me wonder.
Copy !req
48. Do human bonds have form?
Copy !req
49. Given enough time,
do families break?
Copy !req
50. Did my family fall apart when
Pop and Granddad died?
Copy !req
51. No. We were still a family.
Death couldn't change that fact.
Copy !req
52. Some bonds never break.
Copy !req
53. And that's what I wanna build.
Copy !req
54. Machines and bonds
that can't be broken.
Copy !req
55. You think
Company Three's captain
Copy !req
56. is out to kill Vulcan?
Copy !req
57. It's basically just a hunch.
I feel sure though.
Copy !req
58. But he was trying
to recruit Vulcan.
Copy !req
59. If he wants him in his company,
Copy !req
60. then why would he
try to murder him?
Copy !req
61. It just doesn't
make sense to me.
Copy !req
62. It might be because of his
family's history with Haijima.
Copy !req
63. Are you planning to
tell Vulcan about this?
Copy !req
64. I doubt he'll believe you.
Copy !req
65. After all, I don't
even believe you.
Copy !req
66. I might be wrong, but I've
got a hunch of my own.
Copy !req
67. Could this have to do with
that Adolla Burst of yours?
Copy !req
68. I think it probably does.
Copy !req
69. Not sure how yet.
Copy !req
70. This happened at Asakusa, too.
Copy !req
71. What I felt was
more than intuition.
Copy !req
72. It was like I could hear
Konro asking for help.
Copy !req
73. And, well, it turned out he had.
Copy !req
74. All I know is that I'd be
a fool to ignore this.
Copy !req
75. The two of you should go
back to the workshop.
Copy !req
76. Let Vulcan know
that he's in danger.
Copy !req
77. Right.
Copy !req
78. What're you planning to do?
Copy !req
79. Need to find out if
this is just Giovanni
Copy !req
80. or the whole of Company Three.
Copy !req
81. Luckily, he doesn't
know we're here yet.
Copy !req
82. I'll try to scout him out
from a high vantage point.
Copy !req
83. We can base our next move
off of what I find.
Copy !req
84. We're the only ones
who can fight, Arthur.
Copy !req
85. I'm counting on you!
Copy !req
86. Hold on! What was the plan?
Copy !req
87. Causes of death
are many and varied.
Copy !req
88. Kill Vulcan and his friends,
a murder-suicide.
Copy !req
89. Or an Infernal-caused fire.
Copy !req
90. [FLAIL, MIRAGE]
Yes, sir.
Copy !req
91. Before you go,
cast off your false raiments.
Copy !req
92. [FLAIL, MIRAGE]
Sir.
Copy !req
93. Faithfulness to the Evangelist.
Copy !req
94. Why would you think that Doctor
Giovanni's planning to kill me?
Copy !req
95. If one of us was about to jump
to murder, it would be me.
Copy !req
96. I'm the one who's got
a grudge against him.
Copy !req
97. Yeah, well...
Copy !req
98. Shinra kinda had a vision.
Except it was with his ears.
Copy !req
99. I hoped that you guys
might be different
Copy !req
100. from the other Fire Soldiers.
Copy !req
101. But makin' crap up just to
scare me into joining you
Copy !req
102. is pretty damn typical.
Copy !req
103. You really can't imagine
a motive for him?
Copy !req
104. You've got history
with Haijima, right?
Copy !req
105. True, but I'm the one
who has beef with them!
Copy !req
106. [YU]
Uh! Vulcan!
Copy !req
107. Think there's close
to a hundred of them.
Copy !req
108. All this just to get me?
Copy !req
109. That's insane.
Copy !req
110. How did Shinra let
that big a force get past him?
Copy !req
111. What the hell's he
doing out there?
Copy !req
112. Why's it so quiet?
Copy !req
113. I thought something
seemed unusual at the workshop.
Copy !req
114. Company Eight is on
the scene, is it?
Copy !req
115. I hate surprises.
Copy !req
116. Damn it. Where are you?
Copy !req
117. Come face me!
Copy !req
118. Shinra Kusakabe.
Copy !req
119. The rookie who possesses
an Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
120. I'll capture him and take
him to the Evangelist.
Copy !req
121. What the—?
Copy !req
122. They're flying that thing
Copy !req
123. by controlling the
booster in its wrist.
Copy !req
124. Must be a second generation.
Copy !req
125. Just follow the wire.
Copy !req
126. They're gone.
Copy !req
127. Damn you.
Copy !req
128. What kind of monster is he?
Copy !req
129. That's two million
volts of current.
Copy !req
130. Well then...
Copy !req
131. Your friends at the workshop
Copy !req
132. are currently meeting
the same fate as you.
Copy !req
133. Is the enemy behind that tree?
Copy !req
134. What if he's not?
What if he has allies?
Copy !req
135. Should I create a diversion
and wait to see how he reacts?
Copy !req
136. Had you considered
every possibility,
Copy !req
137. you'd still be standing.
Copy !req
138. Because you would've fled,
Copy !req
139. recognizing that you
cannot defeat me.
Copy !req
140. One should knock on a bridge
to test its strength
Copy !req
141. before stepping forward.
Copy !req
142. This is Doctor Giovanni.
Copy !req
143. I've made a serendipitous catch.
Copy !req
144. Requesting retrieval.
Copy !req
145. Yes, that's right. The young
man with the Adolla Burst.
Copy !req
146. Now that you've
fallen into my hands,
Copy !req
147. we're one step
closer to realizing
Copy !req
148. the Evangelist's dream.
Copy !req
149. All that's left for us to do
is take that key from Vulcan.
Copy !req
150. You two are Fire
Soldiers, right?
Copy !req
151. Can you fight these guys?
Copy !req
152. I could, but I didn't
bring my sword with me.
Copy !req
153. And to be honest, I don't feel
very knightly at the moment.
Copy !req
154. When I don't feel like a knight,
my flames get really weak.
Copy !req
155. Huh...?
Copy !req
156. Like, I need a weapon
that feels more swordly.
Copy !req
157. Gimme something with
more swordliness
Copy !req
158. and I'll get way stronger.
Copy !req
159. If you seek Arthur
Boyle's protection,
Copy !req
160. then you should know,
the more I look like a knight,
Copy !req
161. the greater my power grows.
Copy !req
162. That's why they call
me the Knight King.
Copy !req
163. Yeah. I could tell at a glance.
You're as dumb as I thought.
Copy !req
164. So if I help you to
dress up like a knight,
Copy !req
165. then you'll get stronger,
is that right?
Copy !req
166. Knightly...
Copy !req
167. Knightly.
Copy !req
168. Yeah. A brave steed.
Copy !req
169. Mirage, wait back here
and maintain our perimeter.
Copy !req
170. As you say.
Copy !req
171. I will bust in there
and clear the place out.
Copy !req
172. Hm?
Copy !req
173. Vulcan, you just tied
a tarp to his shoulders.
Copy !req
174. Is that really gonna help him?
Copy !req
175. That's not all I did.
Copy !req
176. It's based on how
he feels, right?
Copy !req
177. Well, he seemed happy enough
when he went out there.
Copy !req
178. High-ho, Silver!
Copy !req
179. Hee-haw!
Copy !req
180. Yeah, but, c'mon, he doesn't
look like a knight at all.
Copy !req
181. I mean, there's a donkey head
strapped to his crotch.
Copy !req
182. My king commanded me to defend
the princess and her courtesans.
Copy !req
183. I vowed to chop you
villains to bits...
Copy !req
184. and use you as
grist in that mill.
Copy !req
185. Who are you? I doubt
you're from the workshop.
Copy !req
186. Arthur's sword got
a lot stronger.
Copy !req
187. More than it's ever been!
Copy !req
188. Huh? So it actually worked?
Copy !req
189. Huh?
Copy !req
190. Ride forth, Silver!
Copy !req
191. In the name of
the round table...
Copy !req
192. I smite thee!
Copy !req
193. Excalibur!
Copy !req
194. What was that attack?
Copy !req
195. My shimmers!
Copy !req
196. All those troops, I cut through
them like so much papier-mache.
Copy !req
197. Guess the workshop
hired a fighter.
Copy !req
198. Strange that we weren't
let in on that fact.
Copy !req
199. All right, punk.
State your name.
Copy !req
200. I am the Knight King,
Arthur Boyle!
Copy !req
201. Second Class Fire
Soldier of the Eighth.
Copy !req
202. You've met your match, kid.
Copy !req
203. Stay on guard.
The will of his flame is strong.
Copy !req
204. Right.
Copy !req
205. Holy crap.
That idiot's a powerhouse.
Copy !req
206. When a knight and his steed
fight as one, they can't lose.
Copy !req
207. Though there be many of you,
Copy !req
208. I'll hold strong
and let none pass.
Copy !req
209. You might look
completely ridiculous,
Copy !req
210. but you've got strength.
Copy !req
211. Does my knightly garb look silly
to a foul bandit such as you?
Copy !req
212. These are fakes!
Copy !req
213. Surrender at once. You've lost.
Copy !req
214. Huh?
Copy !req
215. Huh?
Copy !req
216. Hm?
Copy !req
217. Good grief.
Copy !req
218. Who would wear such
a ridiculous costume?
Copy !req
219. Seems you would.
Copy !req
220. Huh?
Copy !req
221. Wait, that's me? No way.
Copy !req
222. This is so un-knightly.
Copy !req
223. Upon closer inspection,
Copy !req
224. my steed looks more like
a donkey than a horse.
Copy !req
225. Hey, what happened?
Copy !req
226. It sounds like Arthur's
not doing too well.
Copy !req
227. No. Silver.
Copy !req
228. The hell are you doin'?
This some kinda joke?
Copy !req
229. You can bust my poor ass,
but you can't break my will!
Copy !req
230. His power's
been greatly reduced.
Copy !req
231. You'll pay for this.
Copy !req
232. Looks like the guys out
back were illusions, too.
Copy !req
233. Lisa! Yu! This is your chance!
Copy !req
234. Go make a run for it.
Copy !req
235. You there, from the Eighth,
go with them, all right?
Copy !req
236. Get them to safety.
Copy !req
237. What're you gonna do?
Copy !req
238. It's me the guys
in white are after, right?
Copy !req
239. So your chances are
better if we split.
Copy !req
240. No way. We are not gonna
ditch you to save ourselves!
Copy !req
241. If we're leaving,
then you should, too!
Copy !req
242. You said that we're
a family, right?
Copy !req
243. Idiot or not, that guy
out there is fighting for me.
Copy !req
244. I can't just up and abandon him.
Copy !req
245. Why are these people
after you anyway?
Copy !req
246. If you want me to run,
then at least tell me that much.
Copy !req
247. Couldn't tell you.
Copy !req
248. Look, all I know is that
Haijima took everything
Copy !req
249. my ancestors had.
Copy !req
250. Their achievements
and their lives.
Copy !req
251. Achievements?
Copy !req
252. Yeah. That's right.
Copy !req
253. Through a combination
of tech, hard work,
Copy !req
254. and straight-up genius,
they built something great.
Copy !req
255. Amaterasu,
our perpetual power plant.
Copy !req
256. Now go. I built something
for this kinda situation.
Copy !req
257. Use it to run. Even split up.
Copy !req
258. This family of ours
is unbreakable.
Copy !req
259. Vulcan.
Copy !req
260. Hey. I'm sorry, but please
take care of them for me.
Copy !req
261. I'm not strong,
but I'm a Fire Soldier.
Copy !req
262. You can count on me.
Copy !req
263. The hell was that for?
Copy !req
264. Wait a sec.
What're you doing, Lisa?
Copy !req
265. Yu, shut up and don't move.
Copy !req
266. You either.
Copy !req
267. Try anything funny
and I'll kill him.
Copy !req
268. I didn't just wander into
your scrapyard, Vulcan.
Copy !req
269. I was sent there.
Copy !req
270. What? Why?
Copy !req
271. So I could earn your trust
Copy !req
272. and steal something from you.
Copy !req
273. Hand over the key to Amaterasu.
Copy !req
274. To Amaterasu?
Copy !req
275. What key? I don't have one.
Copy !req
276. I am a servant of
the Evangelist.
Copy !req
277. You thought we were
an unbreakable family?
Copy !req
278. I was ordered to play
house with you.
Copy !req
279. This has been broken
from the start.
Copy !req
280. No. Is that true?
Copy !req
281. You're lying.
Copy !req
282. Please stop. Don't hurt him!
Copy !req
283. Giovanni is heading this way.
Copy !req
284. If you don't cough up
that key right now,
Copy !req
285. you're a dead man.
Copy !req
286. Yeah? Why the warning?
Copy !req
287. It almost sounds like
you're worried about me.
Copy !req
288. Just how gullible can you get?
Copy !req
289. Wrong again.
Copy !req
290. Damn!
Copy !req
291. Don't let anyone in.
Copy !req
292. Understood, sir.
Copy !req
293. You shall not pass!
Copy !req
294. Looks like the shoe's
on the other foot now.
Copy !req
295. We're the ones who aren't gonna
let you into that workshop.
Copy !req
296. Stand down, Lisa.
I'll take it from here.
Copy !req
297. You have two options, Vulcan.
Copy !req
298. You can die this instant,
Copy !req
299. or you can tell me
where the key is first.
Copy !req
300. Choose.
Copy !req
301. Giovanni.
Copy !req
302. Has Lisa told you yet
how she was planted here?
Copy !req
303. You bleeding hearts
are too trusting.
Copy !req
304. That's why you're
so easy to deceive.
Copy !req
305. You should learn to
knock on the bridge
Copy !req
306. before stepping forward.
Copy !req
307. Did you enjoy playing
house with Lisa?
Copy !req
308. That might be why you
first came here, Lisa
Copy !req
309. but I know the rest was real.
Copy !req
310. You must've inherited
that stubborn foolishness.
Copy !req
311. Your ancestors were
just as naive.
Copy !req
312. Make a simple appeal
to their emotions
Copy !req
313. and they'd all turn to mush.
Copy !req
314. Your father was no exception.
Copy !req
315. You come from generation after
generation of gullible buffoons.
Copy !req
316. But credulous as they were,
Copy !req
317. even they knew to be cautious
with their masterpiece.
Copy !req
318. When your forefathers concealed
the key to Amaterasu,
Copy !req
319. they knocked on the bridge.
Copy !req
320. I'm not hiding anything,
all right? I don't have a key!
Copy !req
321. Was this child
a part of your little
Copy !req
322. make-believe family?
Copy !req
323. Let him go!
Copy !req
324. Where is the key to Amaterasu?
Copy !req
325. Damn you, Giovanni!
Copy !req
326. Tell me. Do you remember now?
Copy !req
327. No! Yu!
Copy !req
328. I'm coming!
Copy !req
329. It's a
life-threatening wound,
Copy !req
330. but act now, and he
may yet be saved.
Copy !req
331. Stop. He's just a kid.
Copy !req
332. Please! Cut the crap
and save him!
Copy !req
333. You're the
one who got him hurt
Copy !req
334. when you refused to tell
me what I want to know.
Copy !req
335. Where is the key?
Copy !req
336. Look, I don't have a key.
Copy !req
337. If I did, I would hand it over.
Copy !req
338. Please! Don't take
anything else from us.
Copy !req
339. I've made
meticulous preparations.
Copy !req
340. Gone out of my way to
recruit you peacefully.
Copy !req
341. Sent a spy to your home.
Copy !req
342. Cut off your supply
of materials and more.
Copy !req
343. I have knocked and
knocked and knocked
Copy !req
344. and tapped and tapped
and beat and beat
Copy !req
345. and smashed and slammed
and thrashed and bashed
Copy !req
346. and torn into this bridge
with bleeding hands!
Copy !req
347. And you claim that
you know nothing?
Copy !req
348. Damn you, Vulcan!
Copy !req
349. As dumb as you all are,
you knew to hide that key,
Copy !req
350. and that's why this
is happening!
Copy !req
351. Your family tree is filled
with rotten apples!
Copy !req
352. You're all as gullible
as you are brilliant.
Copy !req
353. You disgust me!
Copy !req
354. I'll kill you, Giovanni!
Go to hell!
Copy !req
355. I have knocked and
tapped and beat and slammed
Copy !req
356. and bashed and thrashed
and torn into this bridge
Copy !req
357. with bleeding hands
to find that key!
Copy !req
358. But I shouldn't have.
Copy !req
359. I should've knocked
down your door
Copy !req
360. and bashed and bashed and bashed
Copy !req
361. and bashed and bashed
and bashed and bashed
Copy !req
362. and bashed and bashed you with
this cane to make you talk!
Copy !req
363. Damn fool.
Copy !req
364. Does he truly not
know where it is?
Copy !req
365. Why does he so treasure
Copy !req
366. these worthless pieces of junk?
Copy !req
367. Don't do this.
Copy !req
368. Please.
Copy !req
369. It's breaking...
Copy !req
370. It's all broken.
Copy !req
