Seere-san!
It doesn't look like anyone else is coming.
Everyone's totally depressed.
They've lost the will to fight.
I guess this is the end of this interception unit.
How lame.
It's hard to blame them.
I guess we'll have to go on alone.
As soon as we receive instructions from HQ-
Hey!
You weren't drinking at all, were you?
I can't drink at a time like this.
But you always do when you're deep in thought.
It's pretty obvious that even the Master Puppeteer can't remain unaffected after hearing such a declaration.
Because of that global declaration of ambition...
...every Flame Haze in the world must be like the poor saps we see outside.
It's a tough view to see right before heading out to the front.
It'll be okay.
I'm here today because I found my duty a hundred years ago.
I'm sure there are others like me still fighting.
Now that's our Chiara! You're so cool!
How about her two masters?
Can you two get moving?
If forgetting to have a drink is acceptable.
Shut up.
Well, I was forced to make a contract without revenge or duty to drive me,
so none of what I heard goes against what I live by.
Can you hear me, Seere?
Chiara?
There she is!
Is this all that made it out of there?
There are some still running in the mountains.
They're all over the place now.
It's out of control.
We are hereby abandoning the operation.
Abandoning?
In other words, we're not going to Tendoukyuu?
That's correct.
We won't.
What you're saying is, since we kept our wits, we need to do more than just run.
Exactly.
We will hold back the enemy pursuit, and at the same time, guide those lost in the woods to Tendoukyuu.
That's one heck of a high hurdle.
But if we do a sloppy job of guiding them, they will discover where Tendoukyuu is hidden.
We'll need to perform some tricks.
Search. Guide. Hold the pursuit. Divert enemy from true purpose.
We need more than simple tricks to accomplish this.
Even so, we must save all that we can.
Everyone.
May I ask one thing?
What happened to the enemy in the plains area?
Annihilated.
Remaining forces have escaped into the mountains.
Extermination units.
Extend your search areas to include the mountain area.
The highest priority target is the mobile fortress, Tendoukyuu.
They were moving east before they scattered.
So they must have something hidden there; something great enough to let them escape.
That's enough information to deduce the answer.
And that's Tendoukyuu?
I've issued orders to keep this area within range of the artillery in the north and south.
Even if they hide, I'll slowly force them out.
Snow?
No, it's rain.
My Keiryougen dissipated.
That's not just Sirotci's unrestricted spell.
That lazuline-coloured flame...
So this rain must be the great seal, Tlalocan.
Y-You mean, the Four Gods of Motherland?
Those monsters are here?
Even for a last ditch struggle, what is that tower for?
They've even put up a flame to attract attention...
Is it supposed to be a decoy?
Retreat Through the Rain
Here.
Please get up.
You should be able to.
You can see that light, right?
Please make your way towards it.
Sanctuary awaits you there.
I found them!
There they are!
Don't let them get away!
This is...
A transformation due to my Tlalocan.
Rather than that...
Grab hold of the reason you were able to stand once more within your heart.
If you are a Flame Haze, see reality and take action against it.
Nearby armies are headed toward the flame.
This rain is obstructing our telepathy, so we can't coordinate the formation.
My Keiryougen is ineffective right now.
So this is what they sought to achieve.
What a blunder, knowing that it is a decoy.
Tell the rear units to stay put.
Send messengers to the units that have gone ahead and tell them to return.
The formation mustn't be broken.
I won't let you go near them.
If you're going to advance, we'll be your opponents ~de arimasu.
You're here to taunt me, huh?
So it's as I thought.
You plan to draw the pursuit to that decoy, huh?
It's the General.
He's finally appeared ~de arimasuna.
Metamorphosis, Sydonay.
Here they come.
It appears so.
We're almost there! Don't stop!
You have fought well, my fellows!
Hurry into the tower!
Blast!
Ah, thanks to the Adamant Convoy and the Summoner of White Mist, we can take it easy.
"Easy"? How?
All we need to do is wait here...
...and those we need to break and blast will come.
That's true.
Not a single scratch?
Fire! Fire!
Making it seem like a decoy when it actually isn't, and gathering people to achieve the true objective.
A play of truth and falsehood even His Highness would find appalling.
It's time to start the show.
I'm sure you've achieved your objective by now.
This time, try stopping me.
Besides, I've always wanted to really cut loose against you guys.
I'll handle these guys.
In the meantime, at least reform the troops.
Yes, Sir.
Now...
Our Commander hasn't ordered us not to kill you guys.
Therefore...
I'll be killing you two.
Wilhelmina!
Affirmative ~de arimasu!
We've successfully rescued those within the area.
Thanks to you handling the large army, we were able to clean up very quick.
It's all thanks to your rain and the flame lit here.
Besides, our work is only half done.
Yes, this is when the situation is most critical.
I hope things will work out.
I hope so, as well.
What's wrong, hero of the Great War and contractor of the God of Destruction?
This isn't necessarily the time for you guys to hold back.
That's what I want to see.
Blazing Flame!
That's what I expected.
Now, I can still expect more, right?
Come at us if you wish to die from playing with fire ~de arimasu.
Enough talk.
Be prepared to die, huh?
Sure, I'll show you how ready I am.
What is this?
They're not as aggressive as they make it sound.
No, the positioning they're taking is clearly strange.
We can take it down.
We can break it!
Now! Fire! Fire!
Now! Charge!
They won't stop until they completely destroy that tower, huh?
In the end, it looks like they made us take the bait.
Sirotci, you truly are my great rival.
Fight in order to protect what's important, huh?
I haven't changed at all from when I was still a human.
However, this life is the war I chose to stand in!
Their role as bait is coming to an end.
The Tendoukyuu must be out here somewhere, already making its escape.
Although they're all defeated soldiers that won't ultimately affect the course of events,
I don't like letting them go when they're right in front me.
One of the Four Gods of Motherland, huh?
Interesting.
May I ask one thing?
Depending on your answer, we promise to assist in the escape.
We will join this war.
Because however disagreeable it may be, what the Serpent of the Ritual said earlier is true.
You may take this as a consensus opinion of all Four Gods of Motherland.
Said earlier?
How the creation of the new world wouldn't affect this world?
We, the Four Gods of Motherland, have been told what truly caused the storm in the rift, the omen of great catastrophe,
by the Flamen Warrior, Sky Heart.
And that cause is Tomogara changing humans into the unstable energy known as power of existence.
The world is unbalanced with every concrete existence it loses.
As a counter event, the storm is formed within the rift.
If the God of Creation goes to the new world with the Tomogara,
the unstable energy will be brought back to this world and the storm shall die down.
But if they cause havoc in the new world as they do in this world, then eventually...
...A return to catastrophe.
We, who live on this side, will have no business policing what they choose to do on the other side.
Still, we, the Four Gods of Motherland, will fight the Serpent of the Ritual, the God of Creation.
Because...
This world, Guze, and the new world in the rift are all part of the greater world.
We, the Four Gods of Motherland, will fight against the selfish mind creating a new, innocent world.
If you will agree with us, we will do everything needed to send all of you to your next battle.
Shana, you'll be fighting, won't you?
Yes.
I see.Their unnatural positioning, the direction in which they won't attack...
...and the direction in which they stop my attacks is...
Tendoukyuu is the only thing worth hiding in this situation.
But could they have fooled us into thinking they've already escaped when they are actually hiding nearby?
Crimson Red!
One got through!
Tendoukyuu is hidden...
...there!!!
Pierce through!
Wrong!
What?
Six little mice,
Sat down to spin;
Pussy passed by and she peeped in.
"Shall I come in and cut off your threads?"
"No, no, Miss Pussy,"
"You'd bite off our heads."
"Oh no, I'll not; I'll help you to spin."
"That may be so!"
That was quite a bit of work.
I want some applause here.
Yeah, since you had some down time.
I'm glad to see you are well.
Complete rendezvous.
Hey, feels like it's been forever, little one.
You look pretty good.
This is my current normal look.
Rather than that, how long will this seal last?
If it would last for several minutes, we should be able to escape together.
A true God should not overreach.
I can't stop this Tlalocan right now.
We need to make the enemy think they've let the real Tendoukyuu escape.
We need enough time to create confusion regarding which direction you've escaped.
It's what we agreed, isn't it?
If you lose this chance by being considerate for us and the Adamant Convoy, who's holding off an entire army,
you'll have wasted all our efforts.
Even this conversation is a waste.
Go on.
Yeah, let's get going.
Our pick-up should be arriving soon.
What? He broke the seal already?
This isn't it, is it?
So, who's playing with me next?
Metamorphosis!
I see.
So you'll stay behind to stall me while maintaining Tlalocan to aid the escape.
Is it about time the real Tendoukyuu made its escape?
So one of the Four Gods of Motherland is going to die in a place like this, huh?
Yes, and I don't plan to let you do anything as long as my strength remains.
Would you play with us if we said that we have high hopes for you?
You don't plan on letting me go even if I say no, right?
Well done.
I really haven't changed from the days I was a human.
But this is exactly where I had wished to die.
Zirnitra, my brother in arms.
Had you ever thought that my war would come to an end?
Of course I had, my brother in arms, Samuel Demantius.
I spent six long centuries thinking about it.
Looks like now is the time.
Will you die, Samuel Demantius?
Yes, it seems that I will.
There's nothing to think about since it's for the second time.
Farewell, Samuel Demantius.
I shall leave in preparation for future wars.
I wish you the best of luck...
...my brother in arms, Zirnitra.
I appreciate your cooperation in this...
...my brother in arms, Samuel Demantius.
Suddenly-
Nani ga hikitomeru
What's stopping me?
It's fine.
Yamanai ame no you ni koko ni habamu an excuse
An excuse that's keeping me here like an unending rain.
Nobody could have done more than what General Metamorphosis Sydonay has done.
Besides, this is not the time to regret what we let go.
Omoitatte miagete mata tachitsukusu
You finally make up your mind, you look up, and again, I freeze.
Sir.
Rather than that, when will my true body be ready to move?
Aa ashita wa hareru no ka
Ah, tomorrow will clear up.
Currently, it is 50% stabilized.
Satori—
Enlightenment-
After all preparations are made, we'll likely be departing after the sun has set.
Koe ni naranu seiten wo mita
Speechless, I look at the fine weather.
I see.
Mabushii asahi ni makenai gankou
My glare that doesn't lose to the radiant morning sun.
I wish to make my way to that place soon.
Nando kowasaretatte It’s a hard intention like a stone
Now matter how many times it breaks, It's a hard intention like a stone.
It's impossible for Tendoukyuu to withdraw with so many defeated soldiers through the enemy's siege.
Mata tsumiagete kita
And again, it came piling down.
So we chose not to withdraw.
Undying—
Nazeka saguriatteta
For some reason I was searching for something
We dug out an area and hid the Tendoukyuu within...
Kakehiki nante jibun wo madowashite wa
Trying to haggle, I deceived my own self
...using Tlalocan's greenery to cover the surface.
At the same time, we used the tower to gather the remaining soldiers and directed them here via an underground passage.
Miushinatte mata hiroiatsumeteru
and lost sight of all. Again, I pulled myself back together
Meanwhile, the Adamant Convoy protected the tower by being the obvious decoy...
Aa kurikaesu no ka
Ah- It's happening again?
...and the Interpreter of Condolence acted as though Tendoukyuu was hidden nearby.
Kasuka… kikoeru
It's Faint- I can hear it,
Then the Summoner of White Mist became the last line of defence.
Dareka no waraigoe dareka no nakigoe ga
someones laughing voice, someones crying voice.
After losing the war, what did all our efforts gain us?
Ima, tonariau sekai
They now bring the world together.
hand in hand
Itsumo saigo ni wa wakariaeteta
In the end, we were able to understand each other, as always.
Firstly, we're alive.
It's the greatest necessity to do anything, and there are the lives before us.
if no kotae wa itoguchi
The answer to "if" is a clue.
It's not enough, but we certainly have them.
hand in hand
Itsumo saigo ni wa wakariaeteta
In the end, we were able to understand each other, as always.
Tomo ni ikanakya imi ga nai
If we don't go together, there's no sense to it.
My answer...
"I'll fight." That was a good answer.
if no michi kara tsuzuita kono basho de habataku
Let's flap our wings ins this place, that continued from the road of "ifs".
To be expected from an individual contracted to a true God.
You're a very bright flame.
I'd like you to pass on a message to the other three gods.
‘Deux en un’
'Two in one'
"I will move you by sacrificing myself."
"I've become a raindrop."
"My friends."
I'm sure the decision to fight isn't wrong.
Yes, I'm sure of it.
After the miserable loss, they stand at a crossroads to the future.
A rematch with Bal Masqué.
The pros and cons in the creation of Xanadu.
Which path they will choose?
Next time on Shakugan no Shana Final:
Once More, to Battle
