Humans.
Playtime is over now.
Are they coming for the God Key?!
The great Michael commanded me to keep it safe!
They mustn't be allowed to have it!
So many of 'em!
Where were you?! Why'd you sneak out of your room?!
My old man!
Huh?
I met my old man!
Uhh, you could at least call him "Dad."
Whoa, wait. You met whose dad?
My dad!
Really!
So, wait, your dad's right here in—
I'm hungry!
Don't interrupt people who are talking!
I'm waiting for the sun rises again
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Let me see the sun
Rage ofBahamut
People always say "black or white", but the world is so gray
Even angels and devils were once the Son of God I praised
The cause of your stagnation is entirely inside of you,
It's your nature
by the time you realize, you're already in a coffin
It's too late if you want to do something
What the hell is wrong with me?
I can't remember what I wanted to be
Deep down, this is what I found
I can see the keys are scattered around
Just because the sun is gonna come up,
doesn't mean anything's gonna change
Yes I know, yes I know that I
I'm the only one
Who can save myself
I'll never forget
All I want to be is me
Lower the castle gate!
You're late!
My apologies.
What shall we do, Saint Jeanne?
You will defend the first outer wall with the sage and catapult units.
Lavalley, you and the dragon riders will halt invaders at the second wall.
I will remain here and protect the castle with His Majesty.
Understood!
Move out!
Amira!
Where is she?
There he is.
Favaro!
Oh, you're here.
Where's Lady Amira?
What happened, exactly?
Apparently she met her old man and now she's brimmin' with energy.
Her father?!
Here, in this castle?!
Hence this, huh?
Satisfied now?
You're gonna eat more?!
Don't falter!
We must prevent the demons' invasion, at all costs!
Oh, no!
Release!
Annoying insects.
It seems that she poses the only real danger.
Leave her to me.
Don't screw up.
You're not going anywhere!
The bridge!
It is time for you to learn, scum,
just how paltry the so-called power of humans is!
No, no, no, no, no!
I'm not done eating!
Let go!
You've had enough already, you drunk!
Your life is in peril!
We need to get you into hiding!
Man...
She's totally a kid!
Is she really even aware of the situation?
Huh?
If the angels today were correct...
We must prevent Bahamut's revival, at all costs.
Keep the God Key safe, valiant ones!
I assume that's what this raid is about.
Yeah.
What's the plan, Favaro?
For now, we gotta get her somewhere safe.
Too late.
Rage ofBahamut
You!
It's him!
Now, then.
Be good little humans and hand over the God Key.
We refuse!
Oh, is that your so-called "chivalry" talking?
You're as naïve as your father was.
How do you know my father?!
What if I told you I was the one who sent him to the gallows?
I remember it well.
The countless jeers the people showered upon your father...
"Disgraceful doesn't even begin to describe the knight you are!"
Oh, the hateful insults they all spewed at him...
It was... you?
Those magic stones were mine, actually.
It was merely amusement for me, something to pass the time,
but he died in a most entertaining manner,
I must say.
Listen up, small fry.
Here's a bit of info for you.
The guy who got his old man killed
was me!
You?
Favaro! Why are you—
Do me a favor, Kaisar.
Take Amira and get out of here.
Take her to Helheim for me.
Go on.
This is a fight between two demons!
Favaro!
Let's go!
Between demons, you say?
Seize the God Key.
Hey! That's cheating!
I am a demon.
What's the matter?
Done already, human?
I don't care for this one bit.
But your bravado ends here!
Now you die!
Saint Jeanne!
All too easy.
Come, Maltet!
Impossible!
Bow before my sacred power, kin of darkness!
Oh!
Saint Jeanne is truly unmatched!
What's so funny?!
I wouldn't count this as a victory if I were you.
As we speak, the God Key is...
No!
Jeanne!
Lavalley...
Are you injured?!
I'm fine.
More importantly, the key girl...
Understood.
Of all the times...
Just when I thought you might prove to be a challenge...
I believe I'll go and take the God Key now.
Kaisar!
I swiped it earlier, with the intention of using it on you sometime.
I guess some knights have sticky fingers too!
Where's Amira?
Never fear.
Why'd you come back, anyway?
For vengeance.
Huh?
I can't let this demon take my father's killer, after all.
Oh, that's right!
You're the thief's son!
This is great!
Hilarious, even!
So, you gave him a reason to live by making yourself his sworn enemy?
Wha...?!
What a touching tale.
I have a soft spot for such tearjerkers...
In any case, that would make me both of your fathers' killers.
Very well!
I'll play with you!
I finally have something to whet my appetite!
Don't be gettin' the wrong idea!
My old man died 'cause he screwed up.
Vengeance? Giving Kaisar a reason to live?
I don't give a damn!
To hell with living a life of revenge. I'm me!
I live for myself!
Favaro...
You're not my sworn enemy or anything else.
You're nothing but a putrid demon!
Lowly human...
I see. I have my way of life, and you have yours...
You always have to embellish everything, don't ya?
That's just how I am.
In that case...
Another smoke screen, I see.
But...
Kaisar!
Perhaps you should be more worried about yourself?
This is the end.
I'm pretty good with this, huh?
Curse you!
Like I said, this fight is between
us demons!
Don't let a measly contract spell go to your head!
No...
This is a fight between human and demon!
Two humans and one demon, to be precise!
Did that kill him?!
Just kidding.
So sorry, but human weapons can't kill me.
It seems that good-for-nothing has failed me after all.
No matter.
I'll kill you two here and now.
Damn!
There's gotta be something we can do against this bastard...
I've changed my mind.
Huh?
You take her to Helheim, Favaro.
Prepare to join your father!
Kaisar!
I have one thing to share with you, too.
You aren't my father's killer.
You aren't even a bounty hunter.
You're just a... run-of-the-mill demon...
Y-Y-You miserable humans!
Your majesty! We are victorious!
What a relief...
We did it, Saint Jeanne!
Those two bounty hunters...
What are their names again?
Huh?
Favaro...
Kaisar, you dumbass... Hurry it up...
Right.
Amira.
Wake, Amira.
F-Father...?
It's over.
Now wake up alread—
My destiny,
won't you tell me?
But you're gone
in a place so far away
When my destiny changed
It taught me that the truth is free
I miss you
I revere you
You're my everything
I will follow you
For everything since then
To the promised land
So take me
to the promised land
Father?
Where are you, Father?
What's the matter?
You idiot...
You dumbass duck!
I am not a duck!
Nonsense.
On the next Rage of Bahamut: Genesis, "Beyond the Storm!"
You're an idiot!
Why...?
Let's Bahamut to the max again next week!!
