Our World, Auldrant, was created by vibrating sounds, the fonons.
It is a beautiful world in which the land, the sea, and each and every living being weave their melody in harmony.
However, the Seventh Fonon, the one narrating Lorelei's consciousness,
foretells this planet's life from the beginning to the end.
I, Yulia Jue, entrusted this Score to the future generations.
Asch!
I don't have any more time.
We've been tricked.
At this rate, the Outer Lands will start collapsing again.
What?
It's pretty! Everything is white!
I'm sorry. The Albiore won't be able to take off in this weather.
Some things can't be helped.
Yes. Don't worry about it, Noelle.
All right.
Let's rest here tonight.
But while we're here doing nothing, the memory particles keep flowing backward.
It's not as if the Outer Lands are going to collapse this very instant.
Besides... we are all exhausted.
If we don't keep ourselves in good condition, we won't be able to put an end to Van's scheme.
Isn't that one of the fundamentals of being a soldier?
Yes.
Let's do what he says and rest in our rooms, Master Ion.
Yes, all right.
We're going now.
We will leave tomorrow morning.
Understood.
All right.
Natalia?
For some reason, I can't sleep.
Really?
Sorry, Natalia.
My, what are you apologizing for, all of a sudden?
I couldn't keep our promise.
That proposal... I didn't even know about it.
I couldn't have remembered it.
You were listening to us, that time.
In Sheridan.
So she found out.
Would you say it to me?
W–Why?
Because...
I think it will help me put a lot of things to rest.
One day, when we're grown up, let's change this country.
Change it so that no one has to be poor.
Change it so that war never happens.
Let's be together until our death and change this country.
Thank you.
I will no longer doubt who you are.
Just as I have accepted the fact that I am not of royal blood, I will accept you for who you are.
Natalia...
You, too, are my precious childhood friend.
What? I thought you went to see Tear.
How did you know?
She seemed to be in some pain.
I just thought that you wouldn't want her to be alone.
I don't know what I should tell her...
I see.
Master Van is probably at the Absorption Gate.
Will Tear be all right?
It's painful for you as well, isn't it?
Huh?
Even I know how that feels.
Guy...
Oh yeah, Master was your friend too, wasn't he?
Yeah.
When I was a kid, I was very timid.
My sister often scolded me for not acting like a boy.
Van always stood up for me at those times.
If I'd taken another path, I might have joined Van like the Six God-Generals.
Guy!
If Hod could be revived...
Even as a replica...
If it meant that my friends and family could come back, then it would have been fine with me.
Well, that's how I might have thought.
But I chose the same path as you.
That's why I'm going to do what I can.
Guy...
That's right.
So it really was you who called me, Asch.
It wasn't me.
But...
The time must be drawing near.
Anyway, how's your wound? From where Master hit you?
It's not anything you should worry about.
What? If you want to say something, say it!
Say, Asch, why don't you come with us to stop Master?
Let's stop him together.
I refuse.
Why?
I bet you...
Asch? Your wound...
Damn...
If I wasn't in this state, I would already be on my way to the Absorption Gate...!
If you don't take Van out, I'll kill him myself!
All right, I promise I'll stop him.
Not "stop." Kill!
All right.
Everyone, please be careful.
Master, do your best!
See you later.
So this is the Absorption Gate...
Those are memory particles, aren't they?
We have to stop their flow, correct?
Let's get going.
This is a big one, watch out!
Tear!
Watch out!
Luke! Tear!
Tear, are you all right?
Yes.
Thank you, Luke.
We're separated from the others. What should we do?
Rather than go up, let's head to the inner areas.
The others will doubtlessly go that way as well.
Yes, probably.
It's quiet. I wonder if my brother is really here.
Tear, is it really all right if we fight Master?
I'd be lying if I said this isn't going to be hard for me.
Then, you could go back and–
No.
This is something I decided.
You know, I never knew my homeland, Hod.
It collapsed when I was still in my mother's womb.
My brother fell in the Qliphoth with my mother, and they were rescued by people from Yulia City.
My mother passed away, but my brother took good care of me.
He taught me everything, the Fonic Hymns, what happened to our home...
He was kind. I loved my brother.
But, behind his smile, he probably hated everything about this world,
ever since the day his power was used to destroy his home and all the people he cared about.
He couldn't forgive those who knew about it from the Score but didn't do anything to prevent it.
But my brother's methods are wrong.
I am going to stop him.
Tear...
Why are you here, replica?
It was Asch who was meant to come, to build a new order alongside me.
The original Luke.
Don't get in my way, foolish replica.
Then why did you create me?
Who am I? Why was I born?
Can you not live unless you were born for some purpose?
Then I will tell you, pathetic replica.
You are nothing but a substitute, a disposable pawn born to overturn Yulia's Score.
That is all.
Brother!
However, Yulia's Score won't change because of an insignificant deviation like you.
What do you mean? There are already differences from the Score.
Though its leaves may change, the true essence of the tree does not.
Yulia's Score is moving inexorably towards a certain future.
The only way to change its course is return everything to nothingness and create a new world, free from the Score.
What are you talking about, brother?
Master Van...
But it's wrong to abandon the people living here now just for that.
You are telling me that, replica?
Even so, I don't want to see any more people suffer.
I want to protect them!
Then...
Try to stop me.
I see you are serious, Mystearica.
I will stop you, Vandesdelca!
Banishing Sorrow!
Luke!
This is why you are a fool.
You hesitate in the face of an enemy you've turned your blade on.
Master Van...
I have no further use for you.
But I will at least dispose of you myself.
Shinkuu Hazan!
Howl, o raging wind!
Turbulence!
Your selfish delusion ends here.
Sorry, Van, but I actually like this world.
To think I was defeated by a failure...
Isn't that amusing?
Master!
Brother!
Now is not the time for us to grieve.
We have to stop the memory particles from flowing backward through the Absorption Gate.
We need your hyperresonance, Luke.
Me?
Huh? Luke, you can use your hyperresonance?
He's been training it in secret, right?
A–Ah, yeah.
But...
There's no time. We have no other option.
All right.
Damn, I don't have enough power...!
Luke.
This hyperresonance... it's...
Hey, dreck, I'll lend you some of my power.
Asch!
The memory particles...
They have returned to normal.
Thanks to this, the Outer Lands will descend slowly rather than collapsing.
Thank goodness.
Asch, Luke.
I will send you the key.
Use it to set me free.
The One Who Would Seize Glory... is trying to capture me.
He...
Luke!
Master, get up!
I don't want to.
Master, all you've done since you came back is lie around.
It's been a month already.
I don't see the problem.
Everything's over.
The Outer Lands have landed safely in the Qliphoth, and the miasma's gone.
The war between Malkuth and Kimlasca is over.
Guy and Pere returned to Malkuth.
Natalia is traveling around on official business.
Tear and the others all went back home.
All I can do is stay here.
Luke.
Are you still secluding yourself?
That isn't good for your health.
Y–Yes.
My, why are you backing away?
Well, I... I'm not your real son...
I knew it. You are worried about that.
Even if you are a replica, you are my son.
And nothing can change that.
Mother...
If you promise you will come back, why don't you go on a little trip?
I called for transportation, so go and see your friends, Luke.
Noelle?
I was surprised to see you there.
This way we'll be with everyone in no time.
I want to see them soon!
Sheridan got a request from the Fabre household, so that's how...
Sheridan...
Sheridan has been restored rather well.
Everyone is doing their best, for the sake of my grandfather and his friends, to make it a lively city like it was before.
I see...
Oh, right, Asch payed us a visit recently.
Asch? Where is he now?
Well, he came to borrow the Albiore III that my brother Ginji pilots.
He said he wanted to investigate something.
Then?
He said he'd go to Yulia City or something.
It's incredible!
It doesn't look like the Qliphoth at all!
Yulia City is finally basking in the sunlight.
Thank you,
for praying for my brother.
It's been a while.
My brother was ready to abandon the originals to eliminate the Score.
But I think that this world will be able to live without the Score.
Why did my brother choose such extreme methods?
I'll never know the answer...
Oh, by the way, has Asch come here?
It seems he came to ask my grandfather something, but...
He has already left.
I see...
Did something happen?
I don't know yet, but it seems like he's investigating something.
Asch, Luke.
I will send you the key.
Use it to set me free.
The One Who Would Seize Glory... is trying to capture me.
He...
That reminds me, there was something worrying in the report from the investigation team that went to the Absorption Gate.
Apparently, my brother's sword, the one we left there, has disappeared.
Did someone take it?
Who would...
It's possible that one of the God-Generals may still be alive.
Let's go to Daath.
Fon Master Ion might know something.
