What...
Don't...
Yuji, stop!
This single Treasure Tool completely seals my powers.
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
Here is my suggestion.
We assault the defensive enemy footholds
and intercept any incoming enemy forces.
Those are the most important points, anyway.
That is indeed a sensible defensive plan,
but it lacks some flair.
We have an overwhelming advantage with our numbers.
Would it not be better to launch preemptive strikes
and crush the enemy operations before they mobilize?
After their crushing defeat in Shanghai,
would they really make the same mistake twice and simply allow us to eliminate bulk of their troops?
If we rush into an area under their control,
we might lose the initiative, just like in the battles of the Revolution.
On the contrary.
They will strengthen their defenses because of Shanghai's example.
We are not their only enemies.
As the General said,
we should not hesitate to use our numbers.
Furthermore, the Jaegers have prepared for scouting missions.
That is way too predictable!
We are following our Lady Strategist's plan to the end!
We just should do as she says and prepare ourselves for any countera—
I am here. Our measures are sufficient.
Where are your manners, Decarabia?
You speak before two of our leaders, so you should at least show yourself!
I mean no disrespect.
The Strategist and the Arbiter of Paradoxes, Lady Bel Peol.
The General and the Thousand Change, Lord Sydonay.
I offer my sincerest apologies if I have inadvertently disrespected you.
You little...
Just drop it! Our leaders are present!
Decarabia, you should be mindful of the consequences of your actions.
Do not hinder the execution of orders with foolish disregard.
Yes, I will reflect on my actions.
I see everyone's getting fired up,
so let's get on with the debate!
To Start the Journey
Lady Shana.
We have finished cleaning and airing your room.
Do you have any further requests?
Should you require anything, do not hesitate to call for us.
Right now, even that Rinne could kill me in a fight.
I don't even have Nietono-no-Shana.
Alastor isn't here either.
I'm all alone.
One day, find out for yourself.
Shiro...
She is getting better, Sophie Sawallisch.
Indeed, Takemikazuchi.
She learns quickily, as one would expect from the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter.
...is what you expect me to say?
Next?
Let us write a report to Outlaw.
And why not use this chance to write to the Manipulator of Objects as well?
To Wilhelmina?
No.
She'd be disappointed if I wrote her right after we were separated.
A model Flame Haze depends on no one.
You still cannot sleep?
I-It's not like I'm lonely or anything.
I asked to sleep with you.
You do not need to worry about anything.
Either way, tomorrow is the last day.
It's not exactly a parting gift, but I wish for you to remember something well.
You may choose your acquaintances, but refuse none.
Whoever may it be, make decisions based on only the reality of the situation.
Even when you are faced with obstacles, do not run away, but think and be troubled by them.
Flame Hazes, Crimson Denizens, and humans alike
dwell on matters beyond their comprehension,
and they fall back on things that put their minds at ease.
But...
I can't do that.
Because you are the perfect Flame Haze?
Lady Shana.
No need. I will introduce myself.
Shana, I'm coming in.
Long time no see. You don't have to stare at me like that.
Alastor, would you care to say something?
You are impudent indeed.
Alastor...
Nothing happened?
They haven't treated you badly either, right?
Of course not.
Alastor is coming with me voluntarily.
If you so desired, I would return the Cocytus to you immediately.
Alastor must cooperate after being told that!
Flame of Heaven, at my own discretion, I grant you a chance to
accompany me and gather information.
Be with me. See with me.
Observe the ways of the Bal Masque.
More importantly, do you need anything?
I can't move freely. Remove this chain!
I can't do that. There may be Denizens here who despise you.
It would be dangerous to walk about carelessly.
Then you shouldn't have held me captive here in the first place.
Are you telling me to let you escape or to kill you?
Are you really leaving that decision to me?
You're always so reckless.
I heard you climbed to the roof and had to be brought back by the guard Denizen,
and also that you hurt yourself when you tried to cut the chain with a decorative sword.
That scared me to death.
Shana...
Shana? What's wrong?
You shouldn't be acting like this after a single defeat! So why?
Stop it, Sakai Yuji.
No way... No, you wouldn't change just because of a difference in power.
Don't act like you know everything about me!
Oh, my.
To greet our revered commander after such a dramatic scene...
He is a great contributor to our plans who just joined us recently.
Allow me to introduce him again.
Lamies the Corpse Retriever.
Or rather, the Spiral Organ, Leanan-sidhe.
Once again, our paths cross unexpectedly,
Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Hunter, Shana.
Shana?
Who might that be?
If he intended to annihilate her, he wouldn't have needed to come himself.
Thus her powers are most likely bound by some Unrestricted Spell.
And with that, her connections to the lady as well.
Isolated separation.
Are you going somewhere far away?
You're giving me so much, but I can't do anything in return.
Do not worry about it.
You have helped us greatly as well.
When your work allows it,
please come and see my baby once he's born.
So make sure then!
There is no mention of any such person in our company's records.
Aren't you mistaking some details?
Please, ask someone to look it up then!
I'm sure he's there! Satou Keisaku!
That idiot. Just what is he doing? He left with such a fuss.
I'm coming in.
Sure!
Thanks for your hard work every day!
How was it?
No luck. It's the same line as always.
And they even hung up on me.
Sorry to hear that.
No changes, huh?
Even today, she's our sleeping... whatever she's supposed to be.
She doesn't look like she's gonna wake up anytime soon.
I just don't get it!
Is Satou really at Outlaw?
The Manipulator of Objects said so.
Everything will be explained in due time.
They are just feigning ignorance.
They are hiding something.
What's the point of that?
Is Satou really worth the trouble?
I guess it isn't as simple as calling them.
I have to ask Ms. Carmel to go there.
Huh? Maybe they're...
I see!
See what?
Just look.
With the great battle closing in,
the Manipulator of Objects is ignoring the summons from Outlaw.
Even direct requests to join the war from the Braider of Trembling Might, Sophie Sawallisch.
How does that relate to Satou?
Just listen.
I think the people at Tokyo's branch are waiting for the Manipulator of Objects,
and they want to use this as another way to convince her.
Keisaku would be the hostage to that end.
Hostage?
Flame Hazes aren't all united.
There's a lot of scheming and underhanded tactics at play.
And Keisaku willingly got involved with all of that.
If Satou returns, she'll wake up, right?
Only after she tasted the hot lips of her knight!
That glorious knight of hers on his white horse,
even if he's surrounded by Flame Hazes,
he will defeat them all and come back to her, right?
Or does this world not work like that?
He'd really rush back if he heard that Ms. Margery was sleeping in his room.
Definitely.
Seriously... Come back quickly, you moron.
As I feared. In this situation, we cannot expect Hildegard's help either.
Self-induced exhaustion.
I asked her help knowing that, trusting our friendship.
I have expected all of the dozens of help requests to this reckless plan to be turned down.
I have only one option left.
The words of the Soaring Tower of Quintessence, Gavida.
"You must not near the Tendoukyuu or the Seireiden carelessly."
If I stand idly by, even the slightest chance will be gone.
We must depart in a few days, after all.
Silent advance.
If only Margery Daw was of health.
Where did I put my backpack?
On your back.
I wonder if the baby will be a boy or a girl.
Bel Peol, about our commander.
Stolas has reported to you as well, I believe.
At the moment, there are no abnormalities that would effect the plan.
At the moment? Isn't this matter a bit too serious for uncertainties?
We should ask our guest who brought the Officer of Boundless Seas, Decarabia, along to investigate him.
The Spiral Organ? Indeed, he could do it.
Even if that Mystes had anything that could disrupt our plan,
our commander would never allow them to surface.
However, it's a little troubling that he barely tells us anything.
He is absolutely out of our control.
And what is the tower's captain doing instead of attending the war meeting?
Don't worry about her.
Hecate is busy setting the final coordinates.
She isn't with our commander.
To her, this only means that the plan has progressed one more step.
She would never be interested in a mere vessel.
The war meeting took a while.
Indeed, the greatest number of participants to the greatest theater of war in history.
That's what happens when we indulge in the diverse arguments of the masses.
They were all rejected and persecuted for hundreds of years, so they are used to fighting in groups.
Their hopes might be big, but only if they can cooperate, will they succeed.
We put Decarabia high for that reason as well.
The preparations are complete then.
Connect me to the Professor.
Can you hear me?
Yes. Very yes, yes. This is the engineering department speaking.
Could you ask the Professor how far along he is?
Yes.
Professor! Our commander is inquiring about the statu—
Domino! Why are you slacking off?!
Professor! The commanders!
Oh? What is it, Bel Peol?
You should know how busy I am right now!
Hecate is entering the final coordinates.
The deadline for the second phase is nearing, so you must complete the activation soon.
The preparations for the second phase activation are complete. Finished and ready!
At the moment, I'm working on—
You imposed eight pacts on me.
I held up my end of the bargain without fail.
Can I now get your forgiveness to return to the essence of my family,
my precious Hecate?
You couldn't quit smoking, though.
And I am not yours.
That is regrettable, indeed.
It is not for me to forgive you,
but welcome back, General.
Now we only have to move to the destination we planned.
You are really daring to act like that now.
What is it?
Nothing.
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
An unpleasant welcome is waiting for Satou at Outlaw.
Who is the Flame Haze who appears in front of Satou, who knows nothing about the happenings of Misaki City?
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Final- On the Palm of the Hand.
