So, what do we do now?
It seems that Asch is on the move.
Asch?
Apparently, he went to see Spinoza to get some information.
And he's headed to Mt. Roneal...
He may know something we don't.
Let's go to Mt. Roneal too.
Yeah. That's the only clue we've got.
Anise, you can stay here in Daath, if you want to.
No, I'm going with you.
I think Master Ion would have wanted that.
I see...
Anise!
Arietta!
You killed Master Ion.
You killed Master Ion, Anise!
Yeah, I did. So what, Gloomietta?
I challenge you to a duel!
I accept.
Anise, you...
I'll let you know the place later.
Don't you dare try to run away!
Anise...
It's okay.
I have to settle things with her once and for all.
If Arietta is alive...
...then it seems likely that the other God-Generals caught in that avalanche survived as well.
It's a possibility.
Well, let's go and see.
What's this?
There's something written on it.
"ND1999. A memento of my daughter Meryl's birth."
Hey, Luke, what's wrong?
Master?
Ah, it's nothing.
Meryl is Natalia's true name, right?
And the birth date is the same, if I remember correctly...
Damn it.
It's not here either.
Asch?
You guys again?
You went to see Spinoza, didn't you?
I heard that you were investigating something.
The Planet Storm has been active again.
Is your investigation related to that?
You good for nothing...
If you had received the Jewel of Lorelei just fine that day, none of this would have happened!
The Jewel...? Received it...?
Now that you mention it, back then...!
I will send you the key.
The One Who Would Seize Glory... is trying to capture me.
"The One Who Would Seize Glory"...
That's "Vandesdelca" in Ancient Ispanian!
Van has absorbed Lorelei.
My brother? Then he is...
Yeah, he's alive.
He absorbed Lorelei? No way!
I see.
Since Lorelei is trapped in his body, the number of Seventh Fonons in the atmosphere has decreased.
To compensate, the Planet Storm intensified.
And because of that, the miasma is starting to seep out again.
What?
To free Lorelei from its imprisonment, we have to use the key.
The Sword and the Jewel of Lorelei.
I received this sword that day.
Lorelei should have sent the Jewel to you!
Without the Jewel, the Sword is useless!
If you didn't get the Jewel, then it must have been flung out somewhere!
If the God-Generals were to get their hands on it–
We would be unable to stop Van and free Lorelei from him.
And...
That would mean the end of the world.
Exactly.
Asch!
If I find something, I'll contact you.
Through that reject there.
Asch got the Sword just fine, but I failed to receive the Jewel.
Like he said, I'm...
Let's leave the Jewel up to Asch and concentrate on the case of the miasma.
But what can we do?
I received a report from Malkuth's intelligence.
They have detected the consumption of a large quantity of Seventh Fonons.
It's occuring on a small uncharted island.
Hey, did you find something?
Not really...
This is the Isle of Feres! I'm sure of it!
The Isle of Feres?
Isn't that...?
The island that was ravaged by a tidal wave in the wake of Hod's destruction?
Yes.
It used to be across the channel from Hod.
So this is the Isle of Feres...
Anise, do you know something about this island?
I've heard about it.
Arietta was born on an island that doesn't exist anymore.
It was swallowed up by the sea. That was the Isle of Feres.
After it sunk, Arietta was rescued by ligers.
And she lived with them until the Commandant found her.
Of course, she didn't know how to talk.
My brother taught her, didn't he?
Yes, and the original Ion too, I think.
That's why she clung so attached to Ion.
Van probably wanted to use her and her ability to command monsters.
This is...
A fomicry machine.
And quite a large-scale one.
Moreover, it is operational.
So the replicas were created here, huh?
Let's destroy it.
Please stand back.
There are already too many replicas, even with just me.
What's going on?
You! Why are you here?
Aha! So it was you who created the replicas here.
Have you come to interfere with the raising of Eldrant?
Eldrant?
I won't allow it!
Indeed, Grand Maestro Mohs.
Oh, Dist!
It's been a while, Jade.
I cannot thank you enough for what you did in Keterburg when we last met.
I should have left you to freeze there.
Silence!
Why do you always have to mock me so cruelly?!
Dist, give me the power of the Fon Master.
Quickly.
Oh, do you really want that?
Shouldn't we better do it on Eldrant?
I'll show these fools my new power.
Then, as you wish.
Dist!
What are you–
He's...
He's absorbing Seventh Fonons into his body.
But if someone unable to control the Seventh Fonon does such a thing...!
Dist, what has happened to my body?
Do not worry. This power is that of the Fon Master.
Oh, I feel... I feel such power!
Is this the power of Yulia?
What...?
The island... is floating!
Hod! That's Hod!
They replicated Hod!
Harken to me, oh fools who have forsaken the Score!
I am Mohs, the Fon Master of the New Order of Lorelei.
Swallowed by the Qliphoth, shrouded by the miasma, the world today lies on the verge of destruction.
And why?
The blame lies upon Kimlasca and Malkuth both, who have both abandoned the Score.
Hence, to preserve the Score, I have created the New Order of Lorelei.
We have built the Glorious Land, Eldrant, from what was once The Isle of Hod.
F–F–From here, we will ensure that the world once more follows the Score.
F–Furthermore, we demand reparationssss from... and the s–s–surrender of Kimlasca and M–Malkuth.
His neural contamination has begun sooner than expected.
That's what happens when you wish to use the Seventh Fonon even though you lack the ability to control it.
J–Justice lies only within the Score...!
According to the report from the Malkuth military, Eldrant is protected by an impregnable barrier powered by the Planet Storm.
So we can't even approach it with the Albiore.
I understand. Tell Arietta that I'll be there.
Anise!
Sorry, I know that this isn't the time, but she's waiting.
I have to go.
Wait.
Are you planning on going alone?
Yes. This is my problem.
That's not true.
Ion was our friend.
If it's about him, then it's our problem too.
Besides, you're our friend too, Anise.
Me?
But I was deceiving you the whole time.
You did not really have a choice.
Arietta has her monster friends by her side.
So your friends should stay by your side too.
Ion sacrificed himself for me.
I'm entitled to participate in this duel.
It's my fault that the ligers...
I'm Arietta's enemy too.
Mieu is going too!
My, my.
I don't know about "friends," but...
Well, I acknowledge that we have some sort of bond.
It's just like you to say that, Colonel.
So it's settled, then.
Largo!
You! So you really are alive!
Why are you here?
Arietta asked me to be a witness to her duel.
Don't worry, I won't get involved.
You made me wait.
If you're ready, then let's get started.
You're going to fight no matter what?
Did you not help us before?
That was to save Master Ion.
But he's dead.
You murdered Mommy.
Anise murdered Master Ion.
And for Commandant Van's sake, I'll kill you.
Arietta, listen. The Ion you knew–
Tear! Don't tell her!
Anise, prepare to die!
Damn, we have no choice but to fight.
Negative Gate!
Master Ion...
Master Ion!
Evil Light!
Satsugeki Bukouken!
Commandant Van...
I lost...
I'm sorry...
Mommy, everyone, I'm sorry. I couldn't avenge you...
Master Ion, where are you?
Master Ion?
Master Ion!
Mas...ter... Ion...
...ster... I...on...
Arietta...
Arietta.
Arietta!
Stop, Anise.
Showing pity for your enemy is insulting.
Arietta felt she was ready to die.
And because of that feeling, she fought... and died.
Arietta didn't know that the true Fon Master had already died.
My brother deceived her!
He didn't deceive her!
Had she known that the true Ion had died, she would have taken her own life.
Arietta fought to repay her debt to the Commandant and the ligers.
The next time we meet will be the last.
I will avenge Arietta.
