Wh-What's going on?
What's happening?
Trouble!
The destroyer... Th-The Mobilizer of Ceremonial Equipment is outside the palace!
What?
Th-That's...
That explosion is...
What's wrong?
Where's Sydonay?
Where's the Trinity?
The Scatterer of Sparkling Light...
Why did it have to be them, of all people?
All forces begin attack. Where are Puruson and Uvall?
No...
Magnesia!
That didn't even budge it?
Yeah...
That would be the Tempest Hoof's Unrestricted Spell, Magnesia.
He was appointed to guard the Palace of the Stars for a reason.
I-I managed to protect the Divine Gate in time...
Sir Fecor!
Your orders?
I shall maintain Magnesia from here.
Puruson, you are to command from the front lines.
Uvall, discover how they came here,
and verify that no one else has accompanied them.
And tell the maids to have the princess evacuated to the lower levels.
Understood.
Leave it to us.
But how is it possible...
Do you hear me,
Decarabia, Officer of Boundless Seas
and Supreme Commander of the Offensive Forces attacking Outlaw.
I have been listening and watching,
Fortress Commander, Tempest Hoof Fecor.
Do you know how they penetrated our defensive forces,
to enter the Palace of the Stars?
Our outer defenses have not been penetrated.
Thus, no explanation is possible.
Do any troops approach?
No.
Then...
By morning, nearby reinforcements will have arrived here
and will begin to search the area surrounding the fortress.
Until then...
Very well.
Until our master's return, we must bolster Crypta, the Divine Gate,
and the very fortress itself!
This is it.
This is the change I've been waiting for!
Now set free
Your hidden feelings
So that you may sever
Reality that returns to nothingness
Even if fate is inevitable
Nobody can predict what will happen
Defy it with all you've got
Grasp the future reflected in
Your eyes with your own hands
Shout out
Your existence
Cry out
Shout out
No matter what hardship
Awaits us down the way
Light my fire
Lady Shana, the castle will soon become a dangerous place.
We have been ordered to take you to the lower levels, where it will be safe.
Please follow us.
Please hurry.
Not yet...
Right now, I'm still only as powerful as a normal person.
If I were to attack, I couldn't defeat even these Rinnes.
So I'll wait...
For a bigger change...
For my opening to counterattack!
"To the Palace of the Stars"
Yeah, that Unrestricted Method is said to be impregnable.
Wanna just blast away at the whole castle?
Kill any who come out?
Or maybe...
Should we smoke out Fecor from wherever he cowers?
Ah, I believe it would be unwise to underestimate the Tempest Hoof.
He is quite powerful himself.
For our part, we'd like to destroy the Crypta that conceals the fortress,
before they can recover from the confusion.
Since we insisted on being allowed here,
we should contribute something to aid the sneak attack force.
"I'm glad they're on our side,"
is the phrase that would apply to them...
Anyway,
we haven't encountered any problems so far!
Excellent sign.
No one will be expecting an attack from within, indeed.
We would not have considered it,
were it not for the Palace of Heaven's Road.
The Palace of Heaven's Road and the Palace of the Stars
must never be brought together.
Oh, the Soaring Tower of Quintessence, Gavida.
I haven't heard that name in a long time.
It was he who created
both Palace of Heaven's Road and the Palace of the Stars.
But what did he mean when he said they must not be brought together?
The Palace of Heaven's Road is a place of sun, meant to be filled with life.
Temple of the stellar sky,
the Palace of the Stars was created to destroy its enemies.
Together, the two were originally a pair of Treasures.
Thus, if the two come within a certain distance,
the path connecting them, currently severed, will regenerate.
In other words, Ball Masque's headquarters
will be directly next to us.
So it's understandable why he would forbid their reunion.
But given the situation, that is our sole way in.
Nice location, then...
Here is the path, indeed.
Its proximity to the Palace of the Stars
will automatically initiate its repair.
Path opens.
So this leads to the castle?
Yes.
But only luck can say what we'll face on the other side.
Yeah.
Thus, it's possible it could lead directly to the center of the enemy formation.
Dangerous wager.
This'll be fun... Let's go!
We were fortunate that Gavida never told Ball Masque about the path.
Hatred helped.
All that remains is to locate her.
Only luck can say if we'll be able to find her.
Please hurry a bit more.
If they take me some place heavily guarded, it's over.
I'll lose my chance...
Come! Quickly!
Anything... Just something big!
Commander, the report.
Operation Calm proceeds as scheduled.
If we continue...
Is something wrong?
No.
This operation was based upon the coordinates we received,
as well as upon our observations of the mighty distortion
that swept across the world.
But what if that were all merely a part of the enemy's plan?
I cannot rid myself of that fear.
The judgment and unease it brings are a leader's burdens.
I know that well.
If you are uneasy, then let the men share in your uneasiness,
by having them investigate and confirm it.
Of course,
you will bear the responsibility, regardless.
That really is an excellent idea.
Balar, what do you make of what you just witnessed?
Hmm? Oh, that black mirror...
I know not what it may be,
but it's very likely connected to the disruption we felt.
We can probably assume it ranks among Ball Masque's biggest secrets.
Yeah...
We're this deep in their territory,
and not only haven't we seen that Mystes, who's supposedly their master,
we haven't seen a single one of the Trinity.
Which suggests...
...the reason they aren't here is because of that black mirror.
Still, we don't know what might ensue, should we simply blow it up.
I'm sure the old men are well aware of that.
Yeah.
Regardless, until we're able to neutralize Magnesia,
nothing much will happen here!
That's quite enough.
You've both caused too much damage.
Sorry about that...
But it's what we're here for!
I see.
Then, I suppose
I shall have to ask you to leave.
I am Puruson, the Majestic Lion's Bellowing Call.
A pleasure to meet you.
I'll be sure to have it put on your tomb!
N-No way, that can't be...
Only one person could possibly make something that stupid.
The Seeker...
That jerk of a professor!
Yeah.
One meeting in a hundred years is more than enough...
It may appear foolish, but as you can see, it's functional.
Fighting warriors such as yourselves is a daunting task.
I will use everything I have at my disposal.
Whoa!
Old man, above you!
Old man!
How do you like the feel of my Unrestricted System battle cry, the Lion's Roar?
You did knock down the old man.
So you did manage to accomplish something, before your death.
Hey, Balar.
Time for the kid gloves to come off.
Be sure you stop when I tell you to.
What am I doing?
It's finally time.
It's finally time for me to act...
It's just this one thing...
...that weakens me so.
Power... I need power.
Power... I must go...
Move...
Move!
Move... Move!
Move.
Even an inch!
Please stop...
Please stop.
Please stop...
Please stop.
Please stop...
Where...
Where is it?
Where is it?!
The Nietono no Shana!
What was that sound?
It seemed to come from inside.
Th-That's...
...my master.
Tenmokuikko!
Master...
I go to you.
Repeated investigation has failed to reveal any sign of their entrance.
None of the outer defenses were pierced.
And if they came in by breaking the Crypta,
this Trivia should betray some sign of that.
How did they get past all our defenses?
It's like they just appeared, inside the castle...
Inside the castle?
Right...
It was like they just appeared, inside the castle.
If they came from within, and not from without...
Wait! I'm overlooking something here.
That reminds me,
the Mobilizer of Ceremonial Equipment came to Misaki City once before.
The Specialist of Everything was there, as well.
Both she and the former Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer
learned of Palace of Heaven's Road from the Soaring Tower of Quintessence.
The Palace of Heaven's Road!
The mobile citadel, created in tandem with this fortress.
If it held some secret we were unaware of...
If there were a path between them, leading here...
If the Specialist of Everything were also here with them...
They plan not merely to destroy the Palace of the Stars,
but to recover the princess.
Sir Fecor!
Come quickly...
T-Tenmoku...
Balar! Look at that!
It can't be.
Hey, old man!
Yes, that's...
- Indeed. - What?
That's...
It can't be! Sir Fecor...
They're so fast!
N-No!
Go for it!
Welcome back.
Thank you.
Powerful warrior... My master...
Let's get going.
If the luster that made you shine
Is also inside of me, (then I'm sure that we can go)
I will go and prove everything
It is the reason why I continue to exist
Inside of Kaos I say
Where can I get the real love and fate, right now?
How can I make you know my heart is with you hey?
All people, everyone, forget things,
Even their aching scars
Each time I see the passage of time,
These emotions fade
But I don't want to overlook things any longer
Back and forth, the screaming in my heart won't stop (time over)
The vanishing afterimage, that is you in and of itself
So now that you & I
I can't live life
Without you by my side...
"I'll believe..." Even in the fatality of solitude (Yeah, yeah)
The fragments of the burning records
Reflect tomorrow's brightness (Can see your light)
If the luster that made you shine
Is also inside of me, (then I'm sure that we can go)
I will go and prove everything
"I'll believe..." in a tomorrow where we coexist, (Yeah, "I'll believe")
With the Nietono no Shana in her hands, Shana fights to test her power.
Meanwhile,
the Outlaws leave Zurich
to launch an attack on the Palace of the Stars.
The operation is named...
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Crossing."
