1. Lisa. Stop.

2. How can you possibly expect to beat us

3. when you have no powers to speak of?

4. You don't have to do this, Lisa.

5. Due to the plague that is human combustion,

6. weak men like you live and die at the mercy of the flames.

7. But through Lisa's compatibility with the bugs...

8. she's kindled the flames within herself.

9. Both of my parents were killed

10. during a fire that was caused by an Infernal.

11. After that, I lived in terror.

12. Until the bug awakened my power and drove my fear away.

13. These guys are lying to you, Lisa!

14. I don't have any more powers than you did as a kid,

15. and as a Fire Soldier,

16. I know the terror of the flames as well as anyone.

17. I face it every day!

18. Seems to me that Giovanni wants you to be scared.

19. He's using your fear to control you!

20. You accuse me as you brandish an axe at her.

21. The axe is for you.

22. He doesn't care about you, Lisa!

23. You have no reason to protect him!

24. The flaming tentacles which envelop me

25. are magnetically attuned so they move to protect me

26. of their own accord.

27. The flames I used to live in fear of... now keep me safe.

28. What kind of bug is able to give people powers like that?

29. Would you like to know?

30. Well, I'm not telling!

31. You'll leave this world just as ignorant as you were coming in!

32. You are one annoying old man!

33. Did you actually believe that you could put out my fire

34. with a toy like that?

35. I don't think it's gonna work, Captain!

36. We'll see about that!

37. It seems like this fight is a joke to you.

38. It's not. I promise.

39. I'm trying my hardest to save you

40. from the flames that hold you captive,

41. so hang in there!

42. I am not their captive!

43. If those feelers are defending you,

44. why do you look so scared?

45. I'm not scared, but you should be!

46. I'm not fighting you.

47. I'm fighting a fire.

48. Fire extinguishers have no place

49. on the field of battle.

50. You truly are a fool.

51. You've forgotten,

52. but there's a motto we Fire Soldiers live by:

53. "Protect human life and property."

54. This piece of gear might not be flashy,

55. but it does its job every time.

56. It's saved more lives than I can count!

57. Kill them.

58. Yes. Right.

59. Your naivety will be the death of you.

60. Tell me, how do you plan to keep saving people's lives

61. when you've thrown your own away?

62. Believe it or not, I'm very protective of my life.

63. I'm sorry for making you wait, Lisa,

64. but everything's in place now.

65. Obi.

66. You took all those hits on purpose

67. so you could place extinguisher grenades beneath her tentacles.

68. I'm falling!

69. I've lost everything. Everyone.

70. Mom. Dad.

71. Vulcan.

72. You haven't forgotten what you are again,

73. have you, Feeler?

74. Feeler...

75. It was I who saved you from the fear of the flames.

76. I who gave you purpose.

77. Vulcan never would've given you a home if not for me.

78. You'd best remember the debt you owe.

79. Come back here.

80. Don't do this.

81. I have to, though.

82. Back when I had absolutely nothing,

83. Doctor Giovanni came and rescued me.

84. I can't leave him now.

85. Just try to forget we ever met, okay?

86. Damn you!

87. Take one more step

88. and I'll burn through her neck with this wire.

89. No, don't!

90. Listen well, Vulcan.

91. If you want to save her life, you'll do exactly as I say.

92. Pick up that gun and shoot Obi.

93. You really are a rotten bastard to the core.

94. You should rejoice, Feeler.

95. Your life is being put to use

96. in the service of the Evangelist right now.

97. Isn't that what you want?

98. Vulcan, do as he says.

99. Sorry, sir.

100. This isn't your fault.

101. No more stalling. Act now, or else.

102. There's no point in making a big production out of it.

103. Just do as I say.

104. Shoot and Feeler will live.

105. Don't and Lisa will die.

106. That's all there is to it.

107. I swear I'm gonna kill you, Giovanni!

108. Are you?

109. Well, before you do, you can watch

110. as my heating wire lops off this poor girl's head.

111. Go ahead. Pull the trigger!

112. It's the only way you can save Lisa!

113. I can't do it.

114. Then Lisa is finished.

115. Do it, Vulcan! Shoot me!

116. If you don't, he'll kill Lisa!

117. But if I give in, then—

118. God dammit! Ah!

119. You killed your captain

120. and your only chance of winning just to save this girl.

121. Lisa. Captain.

122. Even knowing I'd be fine, that was scary!

123. Giovanni!

124. That turnout coat isn't made to be bulletproof.

125. So what extra protection did you have?

126. Oh, would you like to know?

127. Huh? Ya feelin' curious?

128. Well...

129. —... I'm not gonna tell you! —I gave him a special ballistic

130. vest before we came.

131. I'm workin' as the Eighth's engineer now!

132. There's no way I'm gonna let my captain

133. fight without protection.

134. Even so, that was a reckless ploy.

135. It's the trust we put into each other

136. that makes the members of Company Eight a real team.

137. Trust. What an absurd, inexplicable concept!

138. Your hardware's a disorganized mess.

139. You're lucky that Pop isn't here to see it.

140. Get ready, dirtbag. Equip penguin-met!

141. Let's see if that machinery of yours

142. can pass a strength test!

143. Your hardware's as weak as it looks!

144. Lisa!

145. Lisa.

146. Good work. I'll take over!

147. Considering your lack of powers,

148. you're managing quite well.

149. You used to be a Fire Soldier like me.

150. You were meant to protect people from the flames.

151. Why would you go from saving people

152. to turning them into Infernals?

153. What does your Evangelist hope to accomplish

154. by spreading so much terror?

155. Earlier, you told me that the Fire Soldier's maxim

156. was to protect human life and property, did you not?

157. Tell me, can you really not see how trivial such things are?

158. Humans are such a small portion of the Earth's energy.

159. We are vermin scuttling across the planet's crust.

160. Of course mankind should burn.

161. It's the only way to become part of something greater!

162. What a load of crap!

163. About 250 years ago,

164. this planet's surface was torn apart by the Great Cataclysm.

165. This catastrophe was caused by the sudden release

166. of an immense Adolla Burst.

167. And the place that Adolla Burst came from is one you know.

168. It's a place you believe in, if you have faith.

169. Long before the Solar calendar began,

170. before the Great Cataclysm, since time immemorial,

171. humankind has lived in perpetual fear of this place.

172. Regardless of what causes spontaneous human combustion,

173. I'll do my damnedest to stop it.

174. You still haven't made a case for burning people alive.

175. Spontaneous human combustion

176. is a part of the natural order.

177. Would you defy the laws of nature?

178. The bugs you use are made by people!

179. Do you earnestly believe that the Evangelist

180. is no more than a regular person?

181. It doesn't matter what the Evangelist really is.

182. Your cult wanted an idol to worship,

183. so you propped one up for yourselves.

184. Honestly. What a ridiculous notion.

185. You say that we worship an idol?

186. Then what's the great sun god of the Holy Sol Temple?

187. Why bother offering prayers that you don't know

188. will be answered to a god that you don't know exists?

189. Yeah, well, at least the Temple

190. doesn't go around roasting people.

191. The Evangelist is no mere idol.

192. A powerless man such as yourself

193. cannot comprehend what the Evangelist is.

194. But that truth is likely beginning to dawn

195. on your soldier.

196. Shinra Kusakabe.

197. You good, Shinra? Talk to me.

198. Where am I?

199. What is this?

200. Who... are you?

201. Shinra!

202. Sho.

203. Shinra?

204. You okay? What happened?

205. I, uh— I don't know.

206. The Devil's Footprints.

207. What's the matter? Do you see something?

208. It's Sho. He's up ahead.

209. Waiting.

210. As we speak, Shinra Kusakabe's Adolla Burst

211. will be getting stronger through his link with Commander Sho.

212. Link? How exactly are they connected?

213. What is an Adolla Burst really?

214. It is a special flame belonging to those

215. who have become more than pyrokinetics.

216. It affects all forms of heat.

217. And it's the spark from which Infernals spring.

218. You're saying that an Adolla Burst like Shinra's

219. are what make Infernals?

220. Then what are those bugs you people use?

221. You wish to know how they relate.

222. Insects took a drastically different evolutionary path

223. than the rest of the animal kingdom.

224. Which begs the question: Where do bugs come from?

225. Some say it's the same place as the Adolla Burst.

226. "Like moths to a flame."

227. Perhaps every burnt insect is a child

228. who tried to find its mother.

229. So you came after all, Shinra Kusakabe.

230. Yeah! I came here to keep my promise.

231. You say you made a vow, knave? To whom?

232. To Mom. The woman who loved us both.

233. I have but one mother figure in my life,

234. and that is the Evangelist.

235. The thought that you're my brother turns my stomach.

236. How can that be?

237. I was not born from some filthy womb.

238. Don't talk about Mom like that.

239. I'm about to watch two Adolla Bursts go flame to flame.

240. This is awesome!

241. Here I was hoping we could catch up a bit.

242. You saw that, too.

243. That wasn't just fast.

244. It was like he stopped time.

245. How can a pyrokinetic do that?

246. Hey! Captain? Lieutenant Hinawa?

247. Maki!

248. Found you!

249. This lesson is over.

250. My task was to get Shinra Kusakabe

251. to Commander Sho.

252. Now that this objective has been accomplished,

253. I have no need to stall for any more time.

254. All is in accordance with the will of the Evangelist.

255. Hold it!

256. So Adolla Bursts are the cause

257. of human combustion, huh?

258. What the hell is happening to the world right now?

259. Yeah, just keep walkin'!

260. I'll leave Lisa with you.

261. But you will never reverse her conditioning.

262. Please don't leave me behind.

263. I'll do anything you tell me to. I'll be good.

264. Lisa.

265. Faith. Religion. Brainwashing.

266. The ailments mankind could never cure.

267. Farewell.

268. It doesn't matter how swiftly you can move,

269. you will never be able to match me, knave.

270. The fact is that you and I exist in two separate universes.

271. Universes?

272. Hold on. What're you saying?

273. That you're on a different level than me?

274. So you think I should just give up?

275. I'm takin' you home

276. if I have to drag you kicking and screaming!

277. That steam.

278. You play tag kinda rough, little bro.

279. Universes. Time. Freezing.

280. If he's engaging enough heat to expand the whole universe...

281. No. That can't be.

282. Even if he is a third generation,

283. is that kind of thing really possible?

284. Shinra! We need to run!

285. I'm serious. You don't stand a chance here!

286. His power's too much!

287. Huh? Then have you figured out how his power works?

288. You can move as fast as you want in your universe.

289. That's meaningless to me.

290. Because in my universe, I am fully in command.

291. You're in command of your own universe...

292. The hell's that supposed to mean?

293. Is this... another Adolla Link?

294. This is something that's better shown

295. than explained with mere words.
