I've come all the way here,
Shana.
Yuji.
Is that Sakai?
Who are you?
I am offended that you do not recognize me, Flame of Heavens.
That voice!
I cannot blame you.
You have not heard my voice or my spellbinding rhetoric in a long time,
for you came late to this world.
How is this possible?!
It must be one of the three-eyed hag's new toys.
She just stuffed the Silver in it.
You won't get away this time! You'll tell us everything!
He's either brainwashed,
or his conscience has been taken over by something.
Immature actions.
On the contrary, Carmel, Margery.
Is that so?
Then are you Sakai Yuji?
Yes, I am Sakai Yuji.
But that is merely what I go by.
My true name is different, of course.
True name?
What do you mean?
Just what indeed?
You shall understand if you see these flames.
Fuzetsu.
Black flames?
Indeed. These are my flames, and this...
...is my current body in the world.
Call me the Snake of the Festival, Sakai Yuji.
Light my fire
Get rid of this reality that tries to unveil
and repaint my secret feelings
So what if fate was inevitable
Nobody can predict what would happen
I fight against it with all I have
to hold the future I've seen in your eyes
in my hands
Shout out your existence
Shout out
Whatever difficulties
are waiting ahead
Light my fire
The Snake of the Festival?! Impossible!
The God of Creation...
Yes, Alastor, God of Atonement and the Flame of Heaven.
I am someone who stands as your equal.
I am the Snake of the Festival.
But you got drunk on power and tried to seize the whole of creation.
In the end, the Flame Haze army banished you into the Abyss.
Why is the god from an old children's tale banished ages ago here now?
The Abyss is a gap between worlds where even gods are powerless.
So that is why the Bal Masque moved without a master.
Unexpected incident.
Shana...
No... No!
You're not Yuji!
But I am Sakai Yuji, Shana.
We shall talk after your capture.
Dangerous existence.
Exactly!
Yuji!
Don't claim that you're a mighty beast of legends even if it's true.
I've run out of patience as it is.
What's going on?
A weird monster is taking the form of Sakai?
No, I don't think so.
I can tell from Shana's voice.
It's really Sakai that she's looking at!
Reunions and Encounters
Unfortunately, today,
I am only here for Shana.
We're locked in!
Shana...
Yuji...
Let go!
Snake of the Festival!
What twisted sorcery gave you that form?!
It's no sorcery.
It was a necessity for both of us.
Don't use Yuji's voice!
Shana, come with me.
I'm here for you.
You!
I want to be with you.
Why? Why?!
Why are you saying that now?
There's no better time than the present.
Because now...
Not bad.
It won't keep them trapped for long.
I see.
So I have to do it like this?
Wait, Shana!
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses...
and all the king's men
couldn't put Humpty together again.
I would prefer if you didn't get in the way, Margery.
Would you please just stay there nice and quiet?
Like hell I would!
Then let me tell you a bit about myself.
Something I learned when I came here.
You want to hear it too, don't you, Margery?
About the Silver.
The Silver?
What?! What do you know?!
Margery, stop! It's a trap!
What do you know about the Silver?!
You must not listen.
Hey!
He only brought that up because he knows you are interested.
Deceitful information.
Shut up! I want to hear! I want to hear!
Then let's talk about it.
Yuji, don't! Yuji!
About the Silver.
Yuji!
What do you know about the Silver?!
First, look around yourself.
Those who appear as suits of armor before you are not Denizens.
They are the embodiment of emotions gathered from humans.
You could call them the manifestation of the soul.
En masse, they are merely a part of the armor that forms the outlines of my personality.
That armor is simply an illusion that appears before humans who harbor powerful emotions.
It fulfills the wishes and desires of those whose emotions are to be gathered.
It is the projection of those emotions into the outside world, their material form.
Yours took the form of your hate.
The apparition you saw was your hidden feelings.
Don't you understand?
The Silver that appeared in front of you
just did what you wanted to do yourself.
They were my...
It's over.
Yuji...
Attention required.
Sis! What's wrong, Big Sis?!
The Interpreter of Condolence heard information that broke her mental composure.
This is an exceedingly dangerous situation.
Mental collapse imminent.
Get a hold of yourself.
Regain composure.
The contract is dissolving?!
Margery! Are you going to leave me now?!
Are you going to die here?!
Dammit, she's not listening to me.
Big Sis, don't die on us! Big Sis!
All my life...
I've been depended on.
I supported them, and I was always betrayed.
Then they depended on me again.
I was fed up with it.
I was fed up with myself for putting up with it.
That's why I hated him.
He destroyed everything I myself wanted to destroy.
And yet...
It was me all along?!
Then isn't it already over?
No! You mustn't die, Big Sis!
I mustn't? Why exactly?
Do you want to use me again?
Satou hasn't done anything yet!
He's done nothing for you yet!
Margery, please remember Satou!
Please, don't give up!
You are loved, Margery!
My...
Big Sis!
Don't die!
Margery won't fight anymore.
Carmel has her hands full just defending herself.
Now it's finally just the two of us.
Yuji...
I will... destroy you!
The Blutsauger?
Shana, you won't yield no matter what, will you?
Shut up.
Then we have no choice but to fight.
Shut up!
I will follow this warpath to the end to reach you!
Shut up!
This is hard.
Yuji would always come up with something for these critical moments.
I mustn't. He knows my powers.
How much can I materialize?
Isn't that...?
Sakai
Shana...
Yuji...
What about Chigusa?
I have already departed.
So you're not a puppet. This was your decision?
Yes.
You shouldn't worry about that.
Can you protect everyone you love?
What if...
my parents were attacked by Denizens?
Can you put everyone you know under Flame Haze protection?
I...
This world is too big for you to protect everything.
Just during my few years in Misaki City,
I found so many people I wished to protect.
Thus,
I will change the world myself!
I will erase all irrationality from the world!
To protect everyone I love...
Shana.
Although you are but a tool of destruction, you are one of those people.
You are a Flame Haze who must fight forever until you become exhausted and burn out.
I will change your fate.
I will protect you.
And I cannot allow you to get in my way.
You shall watch the world change from my side.
Yuji...
Shana, I've dreamed of walking with you for so long.
Just as you wished, I got stronger and stronger and stronger.
So I will now start the fight to walk with you, to protect you!
He's coming this way!
Yoshida, we must run away!
Sakai is coming.
Sorry, I didn't know you were here.
Sa-Sa-Sakai!
Shana!
Sakai, you saved her, right?
Shana is all right.
I am about to take her with me.
I came here to take this.
Sakai, that's...
...all right, I hope.
It was mine to begin with.
Wait!
Sakai...
Um... You're taking Shana with you?
Why did you return the letters?
It was a promise.
I had to say something.
I had to make it all clear.
I couldn't say something that would hurt you.
But I wanted to tell you what I could.
That's what I thought.
I must be dreaming tonight
Sakai... Sakai...
If you can go home, do so.
We even see from our memories
I haven't changed anything yet,
You can't escape only know this secret with you
but it would still be a better option than staying here.
How can I protect you forever?
Close your eyes, I will, anything for you
I can't live this way without you by my side
Shana, let's go.
I believe
If your brilliant shining light
is still there inside me
that shall be my proof
of a new hope to keep living for
The painful wounds that slowly healed until yesterday
turn to lies I bear on the many paths I walk through time
But I don't want to make any more mistakes
Just that fading afterimage is
actually you yourself
I CAN'T BELIEVE MY WINGS ARE TO RIDE BY YOUR SIDE
I believe only fate can guide me
In my blazing memories
I had the chance to determine my future with one choice
If your brilliant shining light
is still there inside me
that shall be my proof
that I believe in a future where we can live together
I BELIEVE
Shana is being held captive at the Seireiden.
Margery left the frontlines, and Wilhelmina is planning Shana's rescue alone.
