As I thought...
Luke, one day, you may despise me enough to want to kill me.
I'm bored.
Master,
the sea is incredible!
There's nothing but water around us!
You're a pain! Stop being so cheerful all the time!
Jade,
do you know what was on that fon disc?
They seem to be doing research about isofons.
Lorelei's fonon frequency number was recorded in it as well.
What the hell are you talking about?!
Lorelei is the aggregate sentience of the Seventh Fonon.
When fonons gather, they become sentient.
But Lorelei has yet to be observed.
Its existence is only hypothetical.
The fonon frequency is... Well, everything emits it.
It's like fingerprints; they're all unique.
Then, isofons are two entities that have the exact same fonon frequency.
So the only way for them to exist is to be created by humans.
With fomicry, a technology that was researched in the past, we can create isofons.
That is a technique that can create copies, replicas.
As their fonon frequency is different, fomicry can't create perfect isofons.
I don't understand a thing!
Your home teacher didn't explain this to you?
It's been seven years since you've lost your memories.
I had a lot of other stuff to remember.
And what was that?
Like, how to talk, or my parents' faces.
I'm sorry.
W–What's wrong now?
It seems I wasn't taking your amnesia seriously.
It's not that–
It's terrible!
We've detected an unknown object coming from Kaitzur's direction.
I see the primitive savages have all come together.
You're...!
I am not "you."
Listen closely to my beautiful name.
I am a God-General of the Oracle Knights, Dist the Rose–
Oh, if it isn't Dist the Runny!
Rose! The Rose! It's Dist the Rose!
Isn't it "Dist the Reaper"?
No, it's not!
Do you know him?
We're both in the Oracle Knights, so...
But the Colonel...
That sly Jade used to be a friend of this genius, Dist.
Which Jade would that be?
What did you say?!
Now, now, if you get angry, your nose will start running again.
It won't!
That's so stupid...
Very well then.
Now, be good and hand over the fon disc.
You mean this?
Now's my chance!
You let your guard down.
I'm offering it to you.
After all, I've already memorized all of its contents.
You will regret looking down on me once you've tasted my super ultra gorgeous artes!
Come forth, Kaiser Dist R!
Careful! Scatter!
That's...!
W-What the...?
Here I go!
Master!
This thing's tough!
It's not working!
How about this?
O violent torrent!
Splash!
As expected.
So machines are weak against water.
Why, you–
Luke!
Are you all right?
Master!
Dist, are you following Asch's orders, too?
I have no choice.
N–No way...
He did it!
That guy...
Is he dead?
No, he won't die even if you kill him.
He's as tenacious as a cockroach.
Being outside really is a bother.
Again?!
My body... I can't...!
I have finally reached you...
W–Who...
Show me your power, the same as mine.
Are you the one controlling me?!
What the hell is this?
No...
Stop!!
Luke.
Calm down.
Take a deep breath.
Good.
Now slowly take back control over your consciousness.
Luke, listen closely to my voice.
Focus your powers, like that.
Are you all right?
What the hell...?
You've caused a hyperresonance.
Master, what happened to me?
Have you never questioned the reason for your confinement?
Well, my family is worried, so...
That's not it.
It was to keep you, the only person in the world who can cause a hyperresonance all by himself, under Kimlasca's control.
W–Wait a minute!
I don't understand...
A hyperresonance has the power to destroy or revive all matter.
Normally, it can only occur between two Seventh Fonists.
And I... can cause it on my own?
That's right.
If you train it, that power could become very advantageous in war.
Duke Fabre and the King both know that.
So... does that mean I was locked up as a weapon?
Yes. Up until now, and in the future too.
No! I don't want that!
Locked up all the time, only to be used if a war starts...!
Calm down, Luke.
First, you prevent the war from ever happening.
Then you get people to acknowledge your achievements.
You will be seen as the hero who protected the peace.
Really?
Believe in yourself.
You have been chosen.
The power known as hyperresonance will make you a hero.
Me... a hero...
Congratulations on coming back safely from your travels.
I am commander of the 1st Division, Kimlasca-Lanvaldear Royal Forces, Goldberg.
I am Brigadier General Cecille.
Good. I'm taking everyone to the castle, all right?
Understood.
What an amazing city! It goes straight up!
It's surprising! You can fit many Cheagle Woods in here!
I don't feel like I'm home at all.
Oh, right, you haven't been outside at all since your kidnapping.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
You don't have to remember, just discover everything now.
Tear, you've become kinder to him.
That's not it!
Grand Maestro Mohs is currently in an audience with His Majesty.
Please wait.
Grand Maestro Mohs?
Let's get in before he tells Uncle any weird things.
Please stop.
Out of the way.
The Malkuth Empire is strengthening the defenses in their capital, Grand Chokmah.
They have made Engeve their supply base, and–
Hang on a minute, old man.
Oh, Luke. I see you have returned safely.
Why, if it isn't Fon Master Ion.
It has been a while, Your Majesty.
We've been looking for you...
Mohs, we will talk later.
Your Majesty, this is Colonel Jade Curtiss, representative of His Imperial Majesty, Peony the Ninth.
I have come here bearing a letter from my Lord for His Majesty, King Ingobert.
Uncle, what Mohs is saying is utter nonsense!
W–What are you saying?!
I was only informing His Majesty of the menace that Malkuth–
Shut up!
Aren't you the one trying to start a war?!
Luke, calm down.
Now that the letter has reached me, I cannot ignore it.
We'll leave it to you, Uncle.
Luke, thank you. It's all thanks to you.
Ah, well, that's what happens when I get serious.
As expected from your influence.
You're really testing my patience!
Ah, I apologize. You were a great help.
So, with this the war won't happen anymore?
Now the negotiations will start.
I see.
Well, I'll be going now. My mother is probably worried.
I want to see Mister Luke's house~
We do as well.
It's an ordinary house, you know.
An ordinary house, you say?
Well, we're here.
Oh, wow! It's huge!
Luke...
Father, I've come home.
Luke, Dorian General Grants, I am pleased to see you safe.
I apologize for worrying you.
Guy, too. Well done.
Yes, sir.
Ambassadors, please make yourselves at home.
Duke, the King is waiting.
Yes.
It's thanks to you that Luke was blown away.
I apologize for the trouble.
Luke!
Well, what kind of attitude is that?
Do you even realize how worried I've been?
Princess Natalia, Master Luke is just embarrassed.
Guy!
You too have some explaining to do!
Didn't I tell you to come and let me know before you went to look for Luke?
Why are you running away?
You should know why!
Get used to it.
Once Luke and I get married, you will become my servant too.
It's impossible!
"Married"?
What's she talking about?
Princess Natalia is Master Luke's fiancée.
Luke.
What?
Forget about this. You should go and see your mother immediately.
Did something happen to her?
She fell ill when she learned of your disappearance.
I came to visit her.
What?
Go see her quickly.
Y–Yeah.
Tear.
If it bothers you, go and apologize to the Lady as well.
Right.
Yes?
Mother, I've come home.
Oh, Luke! It's really you, isn't it?
Mother.
I was so worried about you.
Madam.
Madam...
Please forgive me.
Tear.
Are you Van's sister?
Yes.
H–Hey.
I apologize for involving your son while I was trying to take down my brother.
I see. So this incident wasn't a move from some villain?
It wasn't. I swear on Lorelei and Yulia, it wasn't.
Thank you.
But, Tear, please abandon the thought of killing your brother.
Fighting between relatives is a very sad thing.
I thank you for your kind words.
Hey.
What?
Don't worry about it too much.
Mother fell ill because her body was frail to begin with.
Thank you.
Grand Maestro Mohs, is your wish still the same as before?
What do you mean?
Something I've heard bothers me.
Do you really want a war between Kimlasca and Malkuth?
How silly.
Don't worry about this rubbish and continue your search for the Seventh Fonstone.
Yes, I apologize.
Tomorrow you will have to leave for a certain place.
Understood.
Master Luke, good morning.
Early this morning, a messenger from the King came.
His Majesty is asking you to go and meet him.
I can go out?
Yes, it seems so.
Last night, we have decided to conclude the peace treaty with the Malkuth Empire.
Really? Then the war–
No.
There is something we must do before the conclusion of the treaty.
Aside from the proposition of peace, a request of help was also written.
A mining town in Malkuth, Akzeriuth, is currently facing the threat of a toxic miasma emitted from the ground.
The Malkuthian road to Akzeriuth is blocked by the miasma, so they cannot send a rescue party.
However, there is a way to the town from our country.
And how does this relate to me?
His Majesty wishes for you to accompany the rescue party as a goodwill ambassador.
Me?!
No, thanks!
I'll pass on the troubles.
Don't say that, Luke.
There is a reason why only you can fulfill this role.
What do you mean, "a reason"?
The fonstone, please.
Yes, sir.
This is a fragment of Yulia Jue's Sixth Fonstone that fell into our territory.
Tear, please read the Score written on the lower part.
Yes, sir.
"ND 2000."
"In Kimlasca shall be born one who inherits the power of Lorelei."
"He will be a boy of royal blood with hair of red."
"He shall be called the Light of the Sacred Flame."
I don't get it at all!
It is talking about you, Luke.
"Luke" means "Light of the Sacred Flame" in Ancient Ispanian.
So it's about... me?
"And he will lead Kimlasca-Lanvaldear to new prosperity."
"ND 2018."
"The young scion of Lorelei's power shall bring his people to the miner's city."
The rest is missing.
That's fine.
You understand now, don't you?
Until now, you have lived a very sheltered life.
However, the time has now come for you to become a hero.
A hero...
Just like Master said!
You can do it.
All right, I'll do it!
I see.
You've made the right decision.
Take Guy along to look after you.
The Order of Lorelei wishes to lend you Tear and Van.
All right.
Father, please let me go as an ambassador too.
I have already told you I won't.
When this is finally over, I'll be a hero.
Luke.
Master, this is a great chance, isn't it?
Luke, listen to me.
That Score has a continuation.
A continuation?
It says, "There, the youth will turn power to calamity and be as a weapon of Kimlasca."
The upper ranks in the Order believe you will bring a war.
There's no way I'd do that!
Yulia's Score has still never been wrong.
Not even once.
Then, Master, why did you–
I know of a way to avoid the war while freeing you.
In the Score, it is said that you will move the people of Akzeriuth, and that the war will then begin.
Thus, you shouldn't move the citizens, but neutralize the miasma with your hyperresonance instead,
and then flee with me to Daath.
Flee?
Come with me.
Become one of my Oracle Knights.
With you, Master?
May I really?
Of course.
But... can I do it...?
I don't know if I can trigger a hyperresonance on my own.
I'll help you.
That won't be a problem.
All right.
Don't talk about this to anyone.
If it were to fall in Kimlascan ears, your chance to get away would disappear.
Say, why are you so nice to me?
You...
When you were a child, you told me you wanted to go to Daath with me.
You endured horrible experiments on your hyperresonance, and you wanted to get away.
I... said that?
Yes. That is why, on that day seven years ago,
I took you away.
What?
You were the one?
You were the one who kidnapped me?
I won't fail this time.
I need you.
This is the first time someone has told me they needed me.
You're the only one who's ever treated me seriously.
I'll go with you, Master.
Good.
Then let's go and take your future back.
Yes!
