Playtime is over now, humans.
Are they coming for the God Key?!
The great Michael requested that I keep it safe!
They must not be allowed to have it!
So many of 'em!
Where were you?! And what the hell you sneaking off for?!
My old man!
Huh?
I met my old man!
Uh, you could at least call him "Dad"...
Wait a sec. You met whose dad?
My dad! For real!
So, wait, your dad's right here in...
I'm hungry!
Listen when people are talking to you!
I'm waiting for sunrises again
Rise up, rise up, rise up
Let me see the sun
Rage of Bahamut
People always say
"black or white," but the world is so gray
Even angels and demons were once the son of God I praised
temee no gen'in wa temee no naka kara
You're the catalyst for your own demise
zenbu hikurumete omae no saga
It's inherent to your being
kizuku koro ni wa mou you're in a coffin
But by the time you realize, you're 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
Tick, tack, which is what I found
I can see the keys are scattered around
kono yoru ga aketemo nanika kawaru wake ja nee sa
Even though a new day dawns, nothing'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 wanna be is me
Lower the bridge!
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 hold off intruders at the second wall.
I will remain here and protect the castle with His Majesty.
Understood!
Move out!
Amira!
Where'd she go now?
There he is.
Favaro!
Oh, you're here.
Where's Lady Amira?
What exactly happened?
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 still eating?!
Don't falter!
We must prevent the demons' invasion at all costs!
Oh, no...
Release!
Annoying pests.
Seems like she's the only one who poses any real danger.
Leave her to me.
Don't screw it up.
You're not going anywhere!
The bridge!
It's time for you to learn, scum.
Time for you to learn just how meager 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 boozehound!
Your life is in peril! We need to get you to a safe place!
Man...
She acts like a kid!
Is she really even aware of the situation?
Huh?
If those angels today were right...
We must prevent Bahamut's revival at all costs.
Keep the God Key safe, O valiant ones!
I assume that's what this raid is for.
You're probably right.
What's the plan, Favaro?
For now, we gotta get her somewhere safe.
Too late.
Rage of Bahamut
You!
So it is 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...
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.
I had considered it an amusing way to pass the time.
I must say, though, the manner in which he died...
was most entertaining.
Listen up, small fry.
Here's a bit of info for ya.
The guy who got Kaisar's old man killed...
was me!
You?
Favaro! Why are you...
Do me a favor, Kaisar.
Take Amira and get out of here.
Bring 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 ain't fair!
I am a demon.
What's the matter?
Had enough already, human?
Not that I really care at all,
but your bravado ends now!
Time for you to die!
Saint Jeanne!
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 that thief's son!
This is great! Hilarious, even!
So, you gave him a reason to live by making yourself his sworn enemy?
What a incredibly touching tale.
I have a soft spot for such tearjerkers.
In that 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 about that!
I'm me! To hell with living a life of revenge.
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, dontcha?
That's just how I am.
In that case...
Another smoke screen, I see.
However...
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 get to your head!
No...
This is a fight between demon and human!
Two humans and one demon, to be precise!
Did that kill him?!
Just kidding.
Sorry, but human weapons cannot kill me.
It seems that good-for-nothing has failed me after all.
No matter. I will kill you two here and now.
Crap!
There's gotta be some way to deal with this bastard!
I've changed my mind.
Huh?
You should 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 mere demon.
Y-Y-You wretched humans!
We are victorious, Your Majesty!
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 alrea—
My destiny,
sotto oshiete hoshii
won't you tell me?
aenai
But you're gone
ima wa tooi place to be
in a place so far away
unmei wa kawaru to
"Fate changes"
oshietekureta the truth is free
That's what you told me, and now the truth is free
I miss you
I revere you
You're my everything
I will follow you
subete wa ano toki
It all began then
To the promised land
tsuretette
So take me
yakusoku no basho e
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!
