1. Thank you for all the help.
Copy !req
2. I'll be on my way.
Copy !req
3. Yup!
Copy !req
4. Got a problem, staring at me like that?
Copy !req
5. Uh, no...
Copy !req
6. You're in ARKS right?
Copy !req
7. The name's Io. Nice to meet you, Mister.
Copy !req
8. Yeah.
Copy !req
9. Oh, are these what's bothering you?
Copy !req
10. Can't help it. Us Deumans are born this way.
Copy !req
11. Deumans?
Copy !req
12. You're acting like you've never
met a Deuman in your life!
Copy !req
13. You're kidding, right?
Copy !req
14. We're one of Oracle's four races too, you know.
Copy !req
15. The name of a massive
space fleet consisting of...
Copy !req
16. several hundred spacecraft
with a Mothership at its core.
Copy !req
17. With its formation, exploration
of outer space became possible...
Copy !req
18. and paved the way for a new history.
Copy !req
19. When a new planet is discovered,
ARKS is sent forth to investigate.
Copy !req
20. ARKS is comprised of the well-balanced Humans,
Copy !req
21. the exceptional Photon-wielding Newmans,
Copy !req
22. the powerful and heavy-duty CASTs,
Copy !req
23. and a fourth race, the offensive
specialists known as Deumans.
Copy !req
24. The ARKS organization was formed...
Copy !req
25. to eradicate Falspawn
on planets near and far.
Copy !req
26. "Quest 11: Change"
Copy !req
27. "Quest 11: Change"
What... exactly happened?
Copy !req
28. I know nothing about Deumans!
Copy !req
29. What is a Deuman exactly?
Copy !req
30. What are you talking about, Mister?
Copy !req
31. I don't know what to tell you.
Copy !req
32. We're a race created
to specialize purely in offense.
Copy !req
33. Long ago, I guess some fabric
appeared out of a spatial distortion.
Copy !req
34. They say a fusion of blood cells from
dragon and Falspawn was found on it.
Copy !req
35. Using those blood cells is apparently
how they managed to make us.
Copy !req
36. How long have Deumans been around for?
Copy !req
37. You've gotta be testing me, right?
Copy !req
38. Everyone knows we've
been around for over 100 years!
Copy !req
39. I see...
Copy !req
40. A time axis shift caused
by a spatial distortion.
Copy !req
41. The changes produced by said event...
Copy !req
42. exceed even my calculations.
Copy !req
43. A rampaging dragon's blood drifted
into the past and gave birth to Deumans.
Copy !req
44. Why am I the only one who
doesn't know about Deumans?
Copy !req
45. The slightest of actions that you took...
Copy !req
46. have chosen a time axis changed by the past.
Copy !req
47. Matoi.
Copy !req
48. Huh?
Copy !req
49. What? Um...
Copy !req
50. We haven't met before, have we?
Copy !req
51. You see her?
Copy !req
52. Huh? Um, am I not supposed to see her?
Copy !req
53. It is not a problem that she is aware of me.
Copy !req
54. She is nothing like Luther.
Copy !req
55. Ash... Matoi...
Copy !req
56. I'm sure you have many questions, but...
Copy !req
57. When the time is right,
the answers will come.
Copy !req
58. The answers will come?
So we just have to wait for them?
Copy !req
59. Are you able to put your faith in me again?
Copy !req
60. Are you still able to believe in me?
Copy !req
61. I don't quite understand, but... I believe you!
Copy !req
62. Maybe it's because your voice
sounds nostalgic for some reason.
Copy !req
63. She disappeared.
Copy !req
64. What a mysterious person.
Copy !req
65. But she makes my heart feel warm.
Copy !req
66. Hey, Partner!
Copy !req
67. Yo, Partner!
Copy !req
68. Hey.
Copy !req
69. We're off to the newly-discovered
planet Wopal, you know!
Copy !req
70. I heard nearly the whole surface is ocean!
Copy !req
71. This is my first time at an ocean!
Copy !req
72. Partner, just a little warning...
Copy !req
73. This ocean water... it's insanely salty!
Copy !req
74. You're finally laughing.
Copy !req
75. You've been kinda out of it lately.
Copy !req
76. You can talk to me. It'll help.
Copy !req
77. But what should I talk about?
Copy !req
78. Anything you feel like!
Afin's here to lend an ear!
Copy !req
79. Do you know about Deumans?
Copy !req
80. Deumans. You mean like, Deumans?
Copy !req
81. Yeah.
Copy !req
82. I didn't know about them till today.
Copy !req
83. I know the feeling!
Copy !req
84. The other day, I totally had no idea
where I was on an ARKS ship!
Copy !req
85. No, that's not—
Copy !req
86. But once I kept walking, I saw a place
I recognized and made it back home!
Copy !req
87. Listen, Partner! You know why we
have eyes on the front of our bodies?
Copy !req
88. It's for going forward!
Copy !req
89. Even if you're totally lost,
keep moving forward!
Copy !req
90. Do that and you'll figure it out eventually!
Copy !req
91. Afin, are you ok—
Copy !req
92. Some wise words there!
Copy !req
93. Huh?
Copy !req
94. What? Echo?
Copy !req
95. What do you think? Do I look like a Hunter now?
Copy !req
96. What happened to you?
Copy !req
97. What, you think it's strange?
Copy !req
98. Y-You look great!
Copy !req
99. Weren't you more suited to be a Force?
Copy !req
100. To be honest, I'm not used to this at all yet.
Copy !req
101. But I've gotta keep pushing
myself till Zeno comes back.
Copy !req
102. —What the?
—It's an enemy!
Copy !req
103. There's Falspawn on this planet?
Copy !req
104. I'll draw it away!
Get the crew somewhere safe!
Copy !req
105. —Roger!
—All right!
Copy !req
106. Oh, Ash...
Copy !req
107. Theodor?
Copy !req
108. Could you make sure not to get in my way?
Copy !req
109. For Ulku's sake, I'm wiping out
every last Falspawn there is.
Copy !req
110. Ulku's sure been gone awhile...
Copy !req
111. Oh, right... Didn't she get hurt?
Copy !req
112. What... are you...?
Copy !req
113. I should have just wiped out...
Copy !req
114. every last Falspawn from the start.
Copy !req
115. I need to become
stronger than ever before.
Copy !req
116. For Ulku's sake...
Copy !req
117. How marvelous!
Copy !req
118. Luther!
Copy !req
119. Was your coming here
another one of Xion's suggestions?
Copy !req
120. It matters not. My business today isn't
with you, but this young man instead.
Copy !req
121. Who are you? Are you
planning to get in my way too?
Copy !req
122. No? Falspawn are a
nuisance for you and I alike,
Copy !req
123. which is why I'm more
than happy to help you.
Copy !req
124. Help me?
Copy !req
125. Don't you seek more power?
Copy !req
126. Yes... Power which surpasses
even that of the Council of Six.
Copy !req
127. Power enough to eradicate
whatever it is you wish to kill.
Copy !req
128. Theodor!
Copy !req
129. I've already made up my mind.
Copy !req
130. I'll become stronger than anyone.
Copy !req
131. No! Don't listen to him!
Copy !req
132. This decision shows his resolve.
Copy !req
133. And respecting important
decisions such as this...
Copy !req
134. is what a friend would do, is it not?
Copy !req
135. Until next time.
Copy !req
136. Shall we go, Theodor?
Copy !req
137. Theodor!
Copy !req
138. Looks like Luther's gone for the time being.
Copy !req
139. Uh, um...
Copy !req
140. Jeez, remember who I am already!
Copy !req
141. It's Sarah! I've met you a bunch of times!
Copy !req
142. Oh, right. That hasn't happened for you yet...
Copy !req
143. Anyways, follow me!
Copy !req
144. H-Hey! Hey!
Copy !req
145. Think it's safe now?
Copy !req
146. I'll go take a look and see.
Copy !req
147. This is...?
Copy !req
148. I guess you could say it's a hideout.
Copy !req
149. Who's this person you want me to meet?
Copy !req
150. Would you relax?
It's faster if you just meet him.
Copy !req
151. Uh, I should probably
give you a heads-up though.
Copy !req
152. Let's see... He looks like a kid.
A super pretentious one.
Copy !req
153. He's like an annoying brat
who won't get off his high horse.
Copy !req
154. You're taking orders from
someone you think annoying?
Copy !req
155. Well, because it benefits the both of us.
Copy !req
156. And I kinda owe him.
Copy !req
157. Come on, let's go.
Copy !req
158. Good work, Sarah.
Copy !req
159. By the way, I overheard
everything you said on the way.
Copy !req
160. I know. I said it loud enough
so you'd be able to hear.
Copy !req
161. That personality of yours is something else.
Copy !req
162. Well, thank you.
Copy !req
163. I owe it to all the
wonderful role models in my life.
Copy !req
164. Gimme a break! You're the one
who said I behave like a human!
Copy !req
165. Nice to meet you, Ash.
Copy !req
166. I'm Xiao. Sorry for dragging you here.
Copy !req
167. This was the only way I could
meet you without Luther taking notice.
Copy !req
168. But now, I've finally met you—
Copy !req
169. the one Xion adores so much.
Copy !req
170. You know who Xion is?
Copy !req
171. Well, yeah.
Copy !req
172. To keep it simple, I'm something
like Xion's little brother.
Copy !req
173. I can understand Xion,
but why would you avoid Luther?
Copy !req
174. What exactly is he trying to do?
Copy !req
175. Luther has only one
objective—to understand Xion.
Copy !req
176. Understand?
Copy !req
177. That's all he's really after?
Copy !req
178. It's not as simple as you think.
Copy !req
179. Every single action of his is
ultimately done for that purpose.
Copy !req
180. Yes... That even includes
leading Theodor away.
Copy !req
181. What does he intend on doing?
Copy !req
182. At the moment, Luther essentially
controls ARKS like a puppet.
Copy !req
183. Even so, it maintains some
semblance of organization...
Copy !req
184. because Luther has yet to understand Xion.
Copy !req
185. Xion always uses cryptic words
to prevent Luther from understanding her.
Copy !req
186. So that's why... Though lately,
I feel like she's making more sense.
Copy !req
187. Yes... The meaning behind
her words is becoming clearer.
Copy !req
188. That's due in part to
Luther's growing understanding.
Copy !req
189. We don't have much time,
which is why we want you to take action.
Copy !req
190. We must act to bring
ARKS back to its proper form.
Copy !req
191. I can tell you all these things,
but I know it's hard to trust me.
Copy !req
192. So, what I'm going to do
is show you some proof.
Copy !req
193. Proof that together,
we can change how it ends.
Copy !req
194. Now... Let's begin the change.
Copy !req
195. This is... Naverius?
Copy !req
196. He's really here!
Copy !req
197. Huh?
Copy !req
198. And exactly like Xiao said!
Copy !req
199. Oh? It's you?
Copy !req
200. I see... So you were the one chosen?
Copy !req
201. What a coincidence... or not.
Copy !req
202. Maria?
Copy !req
203. Save the chat for later.
Copy !req
204. And don't say anything
only the future me knows, okay?
Copy !req
205. If we don't hurry, we won't make it in time!
Copy !req
206. Make it in time for what?
Copy !req
207. Dumb question: Didn't you
come here to change history?
Copy !req
208. Change history?
Copy !req
209. Get your act together, future Ash.
Copy !req
210. You're worrying me.
Copy !req
211. And it worries me that
you haven't explained anything.
Copy !req
212. You're bossing around me,
number two on the Council of Six.
Copy !req
213. I don't know what to tell you!
Xiao is just ordering me around too!
Copy !req
214. It's begun!
Copy !req
215. What's wrong? Is that all you've got?
Copy !req
216. You puny ARKS! At least try to entertain me!
Copy !req
217. Shit!
Copy !req
218. You willingly sacrifice yourself?
Copy !req
219. In that case, I'll crush your will right
here along with the rest of you!
Copy !req
220. You're the one from before!
Copy !req
221. Ash! And Maria too!
Copy !req
222. Long time no see,
Copy !req
223. Hasn't it been 40 years
since we last faced off?
Copy !req
224. That conflict 40 years ago
was such a wonderful time!
Copy !req
225. Wonderful?
Copy !req
226. You mean the war which nearly
brought ARKS to its knees?
Copy !req
227. We fought tooth and nail until utter collapse!
Copy !req
228. There's no sweeter experience
I could've hoped for!
Copy !req
229. Countless comrades of mine died!
Copy !req
230. Don't defile their deaths by calling it sweet!
Copy !req
231. I'll mow you down right here and now.
Copy !req
232. Alma, Casra, Regius, and I couldn't defeat you.
Copy !req
233. But know that I've waited 40 years for this—
Copy !req
234. a rematch!
Copy !req
235. Maria, I'll fight!
Copy !req
236. You'll be in my way if you're hurt. Stay back.
Copy !req
237. Ash! If you and Sarah are scared,
you stay out of this too.
Copy !req
238. Y-Yeah right!
Copy !req
239. We're both ready to roll!
Copy !req
240. Ash!
Copy !req
241. was brought to his knees!
Copy !req
242. It's lacking!
Copy !req
243. My power is being stolen away!
How can this be happening?
Copy !req
244. Is this a trick of your doing?
Copy !req
245. No! That's impossible!
Copy !req
246. My strength! My body!
Why does everything disappoint me?
Copy !req
247. Where is it? Where is my true power?
Where is my body?
Copy !req
248. I see! That must be it!
Copy !req
249. Hey now. Don't take your eyes off the fight.
Copy !req
250. I said I'm going to mow
you down right here and now.
Copy !req
251. Prepare to fall... Labrys the Umbral!
Copy !req
252. What's wrong?
Copy !req
253. Back in the day, you could've shrugged off
this much gravity like it's nothing!
Copy !req
254. My body! If only I had it back!
Copy !req
255. Hang your head in shame!
Copy !req
256. You can rot to death with all your ambitions!
Copy !req
257. You're...!
Copy !req
258. Everyone, time to go!
Copy !req
259. Right!
Copy !req
260. Zeno!
Copy !req
261. Sorry, Ash.
Copy !req
262. You had to come rescue me.
Copy !req
263. Rescue you? Hardly.
Copy !req
264. It's a miracle you fought alone
and lived to tell about it, Zeno boy.
Copy !req
265. Could you please stop calling me that?
Copy !req
266. So much for being brave and
telling Casra I'd draw him away.
Copy !req
267. Casra was with you...
Copy !req
268. In other words, Luther must
know what happened too.
Copy !req
269. This is pathetic.
Copy !req
270. With how I am now,
I'll never be able to protect anyone!
Copy !req
271. That's not—
Copy !req
272. You're right about that.
Copy !req
273. As long as you're a Hunter who does
what he pleases, that'll never change.
Copy !req
274. However, honest people who stick
to their guns aren't half bad in my book,
Copy !req
275. which is precisely why I'm going to train you.
Copy !req
276. Maria, for real?
Copy !req
277. It shouldn't attract Luther's attention
if I'm the one doing it.
Copy !req
278. Thank you.
Copy !req
279. Sarah, tell Xiao we're done
here whenever he's ready.
Copy !req
280. He says he was born ready.
Copy !req
281. Ash. Since I've troubled you anyway,
there's one more thing.
Copy !req
282. Keep it a secret from Echo
that I'm alive and well.
Copy !req
283. What? But Echo—
Copy !req
284. That girl is terrible at hiding her emotions.
Copy !req
285. If she knows I'm alive, it'll show on her face.
Copy !req
286. And that would spoil Maria's entire plan, right?
Copy !req
287. Besides, I think it'll end up
being a good wake-up call for her.
Copy !req
288. Don't worry. I'll come back for sure.
Copy !req
289. So until I do, I'm counting
on you to take care of her.
Copy !req
290. Well? Do you believe us a little more now?
Copy !req
291. What did I just do?
Copy !req
292. You changed the past. You saved Zeno.
Copy !req
293. But I'd prefer if you didn't ask
why we allowed you to do that.
Copy !req
294. Even the slightest information
can greatly alter the future.
Copy !req
295. All right.
Copy !req
296. You're quite understanding.
Copy !req
297. Even if you're totally lost,
keep moving forward.
Copy !req
298. Do that and you'll figure it out eventually.
Copy !req
299. That's something a friend told me.
Copy !req
300. You and Xion want to put
a stop to Luther, right?
Copy !req
301. Yeah. If we don't, ARKS can't
go back to its proper form.
Copy !req
302. There's a few things I'm unsure about,
but you've got my help.
Copy !req
303. Thank you, Ash!
Copy !req
304. Hey! Partner!
Copy !req
305. Where are you? Partner?
Copy !req
306. Afin.
Copy !req
307. Partner! Don't pop out of nowhere!
You scared me!
Copy !req
308. Sorry.
Copy !req
309. Huh? Is it just me or do you seem relieved?
Copy !req
310. Yeah.
Copy !req
311. Just like you said,
I looked ahead and walked forward.
Copy !req
312. Let's go, Afin.
Copy !req
313. I caused Echo trouble
so I've gotta apologize.
Copy !req
314. P-Partner! Wait up!
Copy !req
315. Hey! Partner!
Copy !req
316. The path to tomorrow
Copy !req
317. Where does it come from,
and where does it return to?
Copy !req
318. If we freeze with indecision,
our destiny is frozen with us
Copy !req
319. My still-lacking heart refuses to look
Copy !req
320. But I reach out my hand, and through
this act the future is reborn
Copy !req
321. In my long-past memories
Copy !req
322. I touched your faint warmth
Copy !req
323. I can't reach you, I can't grasp you,
but even so I want to protect you
Copy !req
324. The only memory stirring keenly in my heart
Copy !req
325. Is a fragile and dazzling image of your face
Copy !req
