1. As the world man had built was buried in ash,

2. a leader appeared.

3. A man who would later be known as Raffles the First.

4. Raffles and his disciples embarked on a quest

5. to find new light, and they did.

6. What Raffles found was an unsullied flame.

7. The spark that would kindle an Empire.

8. Here I come. You ready?

9. You're no brother of mine!

10. Just give up. I find you repugnant.

11. And it's hard to believe that you have memories of me!

12. I have a few.

13. I remember that as a baby, you used to laugh and cry.

14. You acted way more human!

15. Did the darkness scare ya? Well, it's all right now.

16. Your big brother's got your back, okay?

17. What was that? A memory of yours?

18. What a revolting image.

19. I said to get out of my head!

20. I need you to see that we're brothers!

21. Stop this!

22. No way!

23. I'm not stopping until I get the real you back!

24. I'll go faster than light.

25. Fly back to the time when we were a family.

26. And take hold of it!

27. That Shinra guy's a real devil.

28. He's so creepy.

29. Yeah, he is. Look at that grin.

30. Word is, he wore the same vicious smile

31. the day his family was killed.

32. Are all of these Shinra Kusakabe's memories?

33. Just hold on.

34. He went past the speed of light, backwards in time,

35. and linked me to his past experiences.

36. Honestly, I don't know how I'll feel

37. when I see you, Sho.

38. It's been years.

39. But even now, I'm bound to you

40. by the promise I made our mother.

41. You're family, and I'll protect you.

42. Promises. Family bonds.

43. What meaning is there in such things?

44. Good question.

45. I do wanna honor the promise I made to Mom,

46. but now that I've actually met you,

47. that isn't what's driving me anymore.

48. Your petty motives are of no interest to me.

49. Is that a fact?

50. Look. Kusakabe's here.

51. The mother-killer?

52. Yeah. I heard he killed his baby brother, too.

53. Really? How?

54. He burned them up. Like the devil he is.

55. It wasn't me.

56. When my home burned, I saw the real culprit.

57. It looked like some kind of... demon.

58. I swear, sooner or later,

59. I'm gonna find that thing, and tear it a new one.

60. Did you see his face just now?

61. Ever since the fire,

62. my face tenses up into this grin when I'm nervous.

63. They think I killed Sho?

64. I am not some devil!

65. Wish I could see you again.

66. Mom. Sho.

67. Why are you showing me these irrelevant memories?

68. Nothing you do will make us brothers again.

69. I'm pretty sure that we're the same, Sho.

70. We were normal kids who grinned when we were happy.

71. Why can't we smile for real anymore?

72. I don't have a past, understand?

73. I have no need of one.

74. This one feels different.

75. Could it be a memory that I've lost?

76. Twelve long years ago, we were just an ordinary family.

77. You, and me, and Mom.

78. Before the fire that tore us apart,

79. you and I could smile without even thinking about it.

80. Back in those days, it was normal for us.

81. Because we were happy back then.

82. Because we had each other.

83. And we had her.

84. Hey, Sho, Shinra.

85. I love you both.

86. Is that... our mother?

87. Hey. What are you makin' us for dinner, Momma?

88. Some hamburgers.

89. That sounds good.

90. I'll be right there, Sho. Let me wash my hands.

91. Don't worry. I can help out.

92. Leave it to me. I'll calm him down!

93. I'm on my way, Sho!

94. It's okay! Your big brother's here, so don't be scared.

95. Guess the wind must've blown it down.

96. I'm sorry, buddy. I'll get that off you real quick.

97. Dark.

98. Scared.

99. Alone.

100. Light.

101. Bet it was dark, huh?

102. Well, you're all right now, Sho.

103. Your big brother came to save the day.

104. Hey, now, don't cry.

105. You've got your own personal hero, Sho.

106. Aw, that make ya feel better?

107. Whenever you need my help, I'll come runnin'.

108. You were in the dark a long time.

109. I didn't mean to leave you by yourself. I'm sorry.

110. Let me get you out of here, okay?

111. I'll take you someplace bright.

112. You'll have nothing to fear.

113. This is my... brother.

114. Come on.

115. Oh, no. What happened?

116. Listen. This isn't your fault, Sho.

117. Haumea!

118. Allohello.

119. Oh, my.

120. It looks like he went so fast

121. that he ended up impaling himself on your sword.

122. Our newest Adolla Burst is starting to flicker.

123. Can't let it die on us. I'll collect him and withdraw.

124. This is bad. Shinra's in no shape to keep fighting.

125. I don't believe I've met you before.

126. But hey, lemme guess.

127. Are you one of the people who stole Sho?

128. If you find all the Adolla Bursts,

129. what will you do with them?

130. The Great Cataclysm from 250 years back

131. didn't quite manage to burn everything.

132. If we collect enough Adolla Bursts,

133. then we can kick off a new Great Cataclysm

134. and finish the job!

135. So toward that end,

136. we're looking for Adolla Burst wielders

137. and using the bugs to make our own.

138. And we'll definitely need you and Sho.

139. Stop that! Why are you telling him all this?

140. Whoopsie-doopsie!

141. Who cares?

142. It doesn't actually matter what he knows,

143. he still won't be able to stop us.

144. But anywho, I think it's time I picked up our new prize.

145. Oh! Somethin' on your mind, little buddy?

146. Before you take him, speak. What happened 12 years ago?

147. You wanna know?

148. Well, between you and me, I'm a sucker for aggressive men.

149. So why don't you force me to talk?

150. Stop screwing around.

151. Right. I'll get back to work.

152. Severed Universe.

153. What's wrong? Nothing happened.

154. My power failed me.

155. Have I been cut from grace?

156. Sho!

157. Sho!

158. Hey.

159. What the—? What have you done?

160. Wow, look at you.

161. A sword in your chest, yet you're this lively?

162. 'Kay. You're gonna come with me now, capiche?

163. Crap. Shinra.

164. What the hey was that about?

165. Whoa!

166. Owie.

167. She forced my blade away from her head somehow.

168. I... wasn't able to... save my brother.

169. I'm the one who's gonna put you down,

170. understand, Devil?

171. So don't you die on me.

172. Oh, how's it goin', gentlemen?

173. No offense, but you weren't invited.

174. You have to... be careful.

175. She has this weird move that lets her con—

176. Just stop talking for now. We'll take care of it.

177. Now, you're kind of in my way, so go take a hike, bub.

178. Hmm?

179. No dice? That's weird.

180. What was that, some kinda scare tactic?

181. Come do your worst.

182. He has plasma.

183. That must be what was interfering

184. with my electric signal.

185. How annoying!

186. You're one pain-in-the-ass opponent, d'you know that?

187. Hurry, Haumea! We're running out of time.

188. We need to leave soon!

189. Yeah! I'm aware, so shut your trap!

190. It won't even take me a second to crush these twerps.

191. Ugh! How many of you are there?

192. My Tekkyo.

193. It looks like their hardware fritzed out.

194. I'll keep her distracted. Help Shinra!

195. [MAKI, TAMAKI] Sir!

196. Pew, pew!

197. Lieutenant!

198. Stupid jerk. So annoying!

199. Ugh, that plasma screws up my signal

200. and keeps me from hitting their nervous systems.

201. There are so few people who can actually make plasma.

202. Why'd he have to be one of 'em?

203. Shinra, you're gonna be okay now.

204. Ah. An earthquake.

205. Right on schedule, too.

206. Seems like a big one.

207. I've got a bad feeling about this.

208. That's because the Evangelist is behind it!

209. Time's up, Haumea! Let's go!

210. See ya later, if you survive.

211. No. They have Sho.

212. Damn it! Give my brother back to me...

213. Stop moving. You're losing blood.

214. We need to get out of here, too!

215. It's been ten minutes.

216. Most quakes aren't nearly this long.

217. That woman said this was the work of the Evangelist.

218. I don't get it. Why would they do this?

219. Sho. Where'd they take you?

220. Shinra, you need to focus on staying awake.

221. If you wanna see your brother again, you've gotta survive!

222. To the emergency room?

223. Better idea. Let's call on our colleague.

224. When it comes to healing pyrokinetics,

225. Director Huang has no match.

226. Director Huang!

227. Director of Medicine, Kayoko Huang!

228. We have an emergency!

229. What is it, Lieutenant Hague?

230. Hello, Captain Huang.

231. Thanks for coming. My crewman's badly hurt.

232. We received prior notice from Central.

233. I take it this happened in the Nether?

234. It did.

235. What exactly did you do in the Nether?

236. Do you know what's causing this incessant earthquake?

237. It almost looks like you broke some taboo down there

238. and incurred the wrath of the great Sol.

239. Long story short, we were hunting someone

240. called the Evangelist who's built a cult: The White-Clad.

241. They turn people into Infernals.

242. They're looking for people who have Adolla Bursts.

243. The flames of the underworld, Adolla.

244. They'll use those flames to torch the world.

245. We'll talk more once I've seen to your crewman.

246. Captain Huang.

247. You will be able to save him, won't you?

248. Possibly. Depends on how much strength he has left.

249. I'm told that his heart, lungs, and spine were all damaged.

250. Even if I can save his life, he may well end up paralyzed.

251. The patient's a third gen, right?

252. And he has an Adolla Burst, as well?

253. Correct.

254. I don't know if that's good or bad.

255. This will be my first contact with the Sacred Flame—

256. there's no telling what'll happen.

257. Our team would never be the same without him.

258. So please, Captain, do your best.

259. I'll try. I'll do everything I can.

260. I beseech thee, Sol.

261. Please grant the light of life to Shinra.

262. We've successfully removed the sword,

263. and his vitals are stable for now.

264. All that's left is to treat him with my power.

265. Not that it would be enough to heal a wound like this

266. on its own.

267. Honestly, his fate will rest on the strength of his flame.

268. No point waiting. The time has come. Stay back.

269. Commencing final operation on Shinra Kusakabe.

270. Rod of Asclepius.

271. Serpent, revitalize him!

272. It's been an hour since the operation began.

273. Where are the others?

274. Sister Iris went off to pray for Kusakabe.

275. Lieutenant Hinawa's being treated himself.

276. And Licht is following up on some leads.

277. But what about Vulcan?

278. He's with Lisa at the moment.

279. We got her back, but she looks to be pretty traumatized.

280. What kinda Fire Company is this?

281. It feels like a hospital.

282. You mean you don't know?

283. Shouldn't surprise me.

284. First off, medical treatment is a sacred ritual

285. that can only be performed by the Holy Sol Temple.

286. So since medical treatment is Company Six's specialty,

287. they're an entity of the Holy Sol Temple, like the First.

288. I see now.

289. So this building is like an ugly Holy Sol Temple,

290. slash pseudo-hospital.

291. No, it's a Fire Force Company!

292. With treating the wounds of pyrokinetics,

293. they say no one can hold a candle

294. to Company Six's Captain Huang.

295. Apparently, the reason for this is that she heals them

296. with her own fire powers.

297. I didn't know flames could heal people.

298. Does anyone know how that works?

299. Her fire takes after the rod of Asclepius,

300. the symbol of medicine.

301. The serpent she makes can heal wounds,

302. cure illnesses, you name it.

303. And when her patients have flames of their own,

304. she can use that to relieve them of their suffering

305. in an instant.

306. His flame is quite beautiful.

307. At this rate, he should make a full recovery.

308. That Adolla Burst is incredible.

309. But I had to use all his firepower to heal him,

310. so he may not wake up for a few days.

311. I'm awake.

312. Sky's clear. How long was I out?

313. What I wouldn't give for some rice.

314. Feel like I'm about to starve.

315. What happened to Sho?

316. I thought I'd saved him, but...

317. He must be back with the Evangelist by now.

318. It's a beautiful sky.

319. I should be looking at it with my brother.

320. Damn!

321. You woke in only three days.

322. As Captain Huang predicted.

323. It might just be the sunlight,

324. but you don't even look all that pale.

325. That said, you're still on the mend.

326. At ease, soldier.

327. I'm glad you're feeling better.

328. With all due respect, sir, I'm lost.

329. What are you doing here?

330. Checking up on you, of course.

331. But why would you?

332. I'm just a random second-class Fire Soldier

333. who's not in your company.

334. Have I put you out?

335. No, sir.

336. Then if you're feeling up to it,

337. I think you and I should have a little chat.

338. About the fire that broke out 12 years back.

339. You get dressed first,

340. then we can take in some fresh air outside.

341. I brought you some rice balls.

342. You always eat a lot?

343. Yeah. Probably more than most.

344. You've certainly grown up.

345. So you are the Fire Soldier that I met 12 years ago.

346. And what's more,

347. you saw what actually happened on that day.

348. Tell me. How much did you know?

349. Everything.

350. And had I reported the truth,

351. you would've been spared a life of infamy.

352. No one would've thought you killed your family.

353. It doesn't matter what happened to me.

354. What about my brother?

355. Did you know that Sho was still alive or not?

356. Of course. I saw him.

357. Yeah? And did you know that he was kidnapped?

358. Taken to be raised by the Evangelist?

359. Yeah. I knew that, too.

360. If you knew that, then why didn't you help him?

361. Why didn't you say anything to me?

362. If I'd known, then I wouldn't have left Sho alone

363. in that darkness for 12 whole years!

364. You had 12 years to grow up— 12 years to build your strength.

365. And still, you nearly died.

366. The truth would've done you no good.

367. That stab to the chest was a fluke.

368. I'm stronger than I was when we sparred.

369. I doubt it.

370. The fluke is that you survived.

371. If you've truly gotten stronger...

372. come and prove it.
