Shall we be going, then?
Lady Amira!
Favaro!
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
Michael!
Maintain composure!
But this means...
I'm aware!
The Transcendent Key is finally complete!
Beelzebub?
Ain't he a high-ranking demon that protects the land of Helheim?
He was the one pulling the strings for the key girl.
But there's no way he pulled it off all by himself.
His aide, Martinet, is working with him.
Martinet? She must be really pretty with a name like that!
It's a he.
Could that be his real name?
Of the guy I was talking about?
A demon having the ability to turn a human into a demon isn't all that far-fetched.
There's no guarantee he's a demon.
Especially if the little zombie daughter of a former doctor could see through his magic.
Let's hurry.
Before she becomes one with Bahamut, right?
There's no need to worry!
As long as we maintain this barrier, the key cannot make contact with Bahamut!
Jeanne?
No!
Raphael!
Why would Jeanne do this to Raphael?!
No.
Something is different about Jeanne.
There's an aura of evil permeating her soul.
How can that be?!
Uriel! She's coming your way!
It's no use! I can't keep this up!
Uriel!
This is bad!
I managed to survive.
Favaro!
However, Abos is...
What you desire is right here, Bahamut!
Favaro!
You can't honestly have stooped to being a demon!
Are you really going to let these lousy demons conquer your spirit?!
What happened to changing Lady Amira's fate?!
Say something!
Favaro!
Kaisar!
You all right, Hammer Head?
Bacchus!
Sorry. We're a tad over capacity.
Michael the Archangel!
And is that...
Jeanne?!
Why does she look like that?
The great saint was transformed into a demon with sorcery.
A demon?! Could it be the same magic used on Favaro?
Crap. She's noticed us.
Rage of Bahamut
The time of judgment has come.
Hansa!
Bacchus! Jeanne!
You're still not dead, son of Lidfard?
Azazel! What are you doing here?!
I wish I could stay here and slaughter you, but I'm afraid I have a prior engagement.
I'm a little too busy to deal with you guys.
I see. If that's how you really want it, then have at it.
What do you mean?
If you run off now, you'll have lost to us forever.
Don't pretend that you measly humans have me beat.
The next time we meet...
If there is a next time.
We'll never cross paths again if the world meets with destruction.
Say what you will.
May you be destroyed with the world!
Take this with you.
If you can get some of it into ol' Afro...
Not again!
You stupid duck!
That's three falls in one day now!
I've changed my mind.
I am going to settle things with you guys. Personally.
Very well! That's fine by me!
Man, am I gonna be sore tomorrow!
If I'm still alive, that is.
This is the last of my antidotes.
Now or never!
I've decided.
For my last supper, I want that duck roasted with olive oil.
Personally, I want some tasty booze!
That's...
Forgive me, O maiden.
Lord Michael!
It's all right, Jeanne.
This is our punishment...
For losing Zeus and forgetting how to work with humans the way we did 2,000 years ago.
You bear no blame whatsoever.
But, I...
I...
Jeanne.
You are a maiden blessed by the gods— one who shall guide the people.
Always know this.
Though my physical vessel may cease to be, my spirit is always with you.
Lord Michael!
Looks like Jeanne's back to normal.
Bacchus, over there!
That must be it.
So, where should we park the carriage?
We're not going to park it.
Huh?
We're going to ram the carriage right into it.
Still persisting, I see.
You angels are an impertinent bunch.
Time for you to make your exit now.
Beelzebub!
It's payback time, Beelzebub!
Cooperating with the gods and humans now, are you?
You're a fool to your very core, Azazel.
You're a real pain in the neck, you know.
You dumbass!
Well, well. An illustrious god has come to visit.
You and your damn concoctions...
We've crossed swords so many times before that it's clear to me.
You truly have become a demon, Favaro.
Farewell, my friend!
Lady Amira...
Kaisar.
Captain Lavalley! What are you doing here?
The Orléans Knights followed Jeanne to this land.
We'll soon have this flying fortress neutralized.
Neutralized?
Yes. You've done a splendid job.
Look there.
The gods are descending?!
Everything's fine now.
Now let's get out of here, quickly.
Get away from that man!
Rita?
Lady Amira!
The desire for something can make a person strong.
Nothing is more pleasing than the sound of that mighty resolve being broken!
Fava...
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

Let's Bahamut to the max again next week!
