Worse than death? So shall it be.
Still, few hope against those who bargain their soul.
Hope that they will one day fall.
That the clamor of light will end it all!
And only in true light, shall we see darkness fall.
Beyond the twilight, embracing the light, now we will fly.
Beneath the stormy clouds, the city waits.
Our destined place.
Burning our faith.
Slaying the evil inside.
Fire in our eyes. Slaying the evil inside.
We are one.

Demonbane...
The repair and replacement of the damaged parts is 70% complete.
It should take 32 hours for a complete restoration.
Mystic circuits are 57% restored.
Only a short amount of time will be required to restore the lost data.
Even after repairs are complete, we'll still have to coordinate and synchronize the machinery.
I can't take it!
Stop dawdling and fix it.
We won't be able to respond if an enemy attacks.
Look here, whose fault do you think it is that Demonbane is in this condition?
No matter who the enemy is, there's going to be some damage.
That's what real combat is all about.
I have not accepted you as the official pilots of Demonbane yet!
Can you pilot it?
Hey, cut it out, Al.
The ones who are riding Demonbane and actually fighting the Black Lodge are me and...
How dare you?
There's no way...
There's no way that you could understand how I feel!
I must apologize for that.
However, Demonbane is very special to my mistress.
Special?
Yes.
Demonbane contains all my mistress' feelings and resolve.
I'm certain that you already know...
...why Mistress Ruri is the head of the Hadou Concern at her age.
No, I don't.
Her parents,
the master and his wife, passed away when my mistress was but a young child.
It was an act of retaliation against the Hadou Concern for opposing the Black Lodge.
From that point, my mistress' only family was her grandfather.
Master Hadou Kouzou, the former leader of the Hadou Concern.
His life's work was the creation of a method to oppose the Black Lodge... Demonbane.
Indeed, Demonbane is her late grandfather's memento, a sword to fight against the Black Lodge,
as well as a symbol of the city's protection.
That is what Demonbane is to my mistress.
Grandfather!
Why?
Why is something so terrible allowed to happen?
Doesn't God exist in this world?
Ruri.
The world may be corrupted by evil, but...
Justice is not.
What's happening?
This is...
An enemy assault.
Hello?
Is anyone there?
Hello?
Hello!?
It's no good.
I cannot contact the surface.
Kurou, can you sense it?
This thick scent of evil.
Yes.
It's as if the stench is wrapping around me.
There's no mistake.
The Black Lodge.
We'll go on ahead, Butler!
I'll leave it to you.
Pathetic.
We're allowed to play as much as we please.
You need to enjoy it while you can.
I've no intention of being an accomplice to your hobbies.
Then how about we split up from here?
I can't reach anywhere.
What has happened to the mansion?
They couldn't have...!
I can see it, Kurou!
All right!
Let's take care of it!
Winfield?
Where are you?
Is no one there?
Please tell me the situation in detail...
I found you.
Terrible.
What a thing to do.
That voice!
Princess!
You don't have to be that frightened.
Let's have some fun together.
No! No!!
Underground...
If I can get to the base!
Playing hard to get? This is a great chance to play together.
The evil presence is growing.
Don't let your guard down!
I know!
What was that?
This feeling. The Necronomicon.
Are you Daijuji Kurou?
Who are you?
I am Titus.
I am a member of Anticross.
Anticross!
They are high-level sorcerers among the Black Lodge,
with a great amount of mystic power, hand picked by Master Therion!
Al, we don't have time for him.
We need to find the princess.
It is too late.
My comrade should already have Hadou Ruri.
What did you say?
Now you have nothing to be concerned about.
I'll have you fight me.
Daijuji Kurou...
No, I cannot allow that. Daijuji Kurou...
No, I cannot allow that.
What?
Butler!
Mr. Daijuji, there is no time.
Please leave this to me and hurry to Mistress Ruri.
What are you saying?
Her room is at the end of this hallway.
Please do not be concerned for me.
Okay, got it!
Don't die, Butler!
Wait.
I will handle any business you have here.
Are you serious, human?
But of course.
Come on, come on.
Unless you try harder, you'll be caught.
Come on, come on, come on.
That's it.
It's that scream, little Miss Ruri. How arousing.
No!
Someone!
The young ones are the best.
Your skin is so youthful.
I'm jealous.
Now, how do you want me to play with you?
Help me, Winfield!
Don't break on me so easily!
What!?
You're?
You're...
Daijuji Kurou!
Goddamned pervert!
Tentacle play is outdated!
You are an Anticross too, aren't you?
That's right.
My name is Tiberius. Nice to meet you.
But you really are inelegant, little Kurou.
I was just about to have some fun with little Miss Ruri,
and you come barging in on us.
I don't think that's very nice at all.
Right?
Boxing? This country's sport.
Pathetic.
You want to fight me completely unarmed?
Exactly.
I have nothing on me.
This way, you realize how dangerous I must be, if I do not bother with weapons.
Well then...
Oh, so you dodged that.
Well done.
Pressure from his fist?
Boxing is a noble art created by humanity over the ages.
If you think it is merely a sport, I will show you its beauties one by one.
Mr. Bushido.
How about that?
Don't get cocky!
Be careful!
Kurou!
You bastard!
This is the end!
I see, I see.
Nicely done.
There is no opening to strike at you.
However,
just glaring at each other accomplishes nothing.
You will permit me to come at you.
Secret attack, Toccata!
Here it comes.
He's fast, but...
The Anticross aren't much.
Princess, sorry for being late.
Hey, Princess.
It's all right now, so relax.
I don't need you to tell me that.
Don't look at me.
I don't care.
Geez, I give up.
Something wrong?
Nothing really.
It's still dangerous here, so let's evacuate to the basement.
Well... Ah... Sorry.
This is no time to be going soft!
I'm not going soft!
No...
Anyway, we need to hurry...
Mr. Daijuji!
Kurou!!
I acknowledge it, and I apologize.
I underestimated you.
I did not expect to meet such a great fighter.
I thank you, warrior.
There is no need to thank me.
I am simply loyally fulfilling my duty.
These fists are for Mistress Ruri!
But can you dodge this old war-demon's attack...
...made by these two swords in your wounded state?
Speed is not my only trick.
Mr. Daijuji.
Mr. Daijuji!
Kurou!
Get up!
Kurou!
You let your guard down, little Kurou.
I thought so, you're...
Do you finally get it?
You're dead to start with!
That's right.
I gained immortality with the power of the Mysteries of the Worm.
Now that the intruder is gone, let us continue.
No!
Obstinate bastard!
You bastard. Knock it off!
Damned rotting corpse!
Mr. Daijuji!
I'm sorry, Princess. I keep putting you in scary situations.
At this rate, I've got no right to pilot Demonbane.
Kurou,
you...
Even so, let me finish this.
I'll kill this son of a bitch!
No, you can't!
You're bleeding so much!
Ruri, the world may be corrupted by evil,
but there exists a justice which hates that evil.
Mr. Daijuji.
You certainly are lively for someone who's practically dead.
I hate persistent men!
Kurou!
Mr. Daijuji!
You sore loser!
Impossible!
I'll tear you up so much, you'll never be able to regenerate!
Don't mock me!
That's...
Tiberius.
Pathetic.
Now, Deus Machina Beelzebûl,
combine with me!
Deus...
Machina!
What is that?
There is an odd disturbance in the transfer field.
A great mystic reading.
I cannot catch it.
It can't be.
It's...
A Deus Machina!
A Deus Machina born from magic!
Mistress!
What are you looking at in the middle of a fight?
It hurt. It hurt, Daijuji Kurou!
You need to be punished!
It's dangerous for you to lose any more blood!
Al,
Demonbane...
Don't be foolish!
With those wounds...
I don't care.
Mr. Daijuji!
Sorry, Princess, I'm going to borrow Demonbane again.
You must not, Mr. Daijuji!
If you fight in this condition, you don't stand a chance!
Even so, I will fight!
Mr. Daijuji!
If I let that guy get away with this, everything will be taken from me.
So... So I need it!
Mr. Daijuji!
You...
Demon... bane!
Kurou!
Disappear, Daijuji Kurou.
We won't make it!
Stop it!
You...
He...
Mr. Daijuji!
Die!
That's enough. Die!
That voice.
Master!
That is enough. Return.
You're kidding me.
After being humiliated, the Anticross cannot simply retreat!
Your duty is complete.
I will say it one more time.
Tiberius, return.
The Black Lodge cannot simply leave their enemies alive before them!
I'm going to kill this brat with my own hands!
Return.
Yes!
Forgive me!
Remember this, Daijuji Kurou.
Next time we meet, I'll throw you into the pits of Hell!
An order to return has been issued.
I haven't heard your name yet.
My name is Winfield, butler to the Hadou family.
Well then, warrior Winfield,
I look forward to our next meeting.
It seems that we were saved by him.
Master Therion.
Body press!
Don't do that to a patient!
Wonderful!
It looks like you're recovering nicely.
Kurou, this apple is delicious.
Don't eat that without my permission!
Being tough seems to be your only skill.
You there!
Is that something you say to a guy with a hole in his gut?
Um, big brother Kurou,
if you act up, the wound's going to...
Blood! Blood!
What is this?
Believing in a small, but real justice. Wielding a sword to smite evil.
I think Grandfather was looking for someone like that.
