Powerful warrior... My master...
Let's get going.
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
Those are...
Indeed.
The ancient Flame Hazes,
dragged down with me, when I was imprisoned here.
It has been thousands of years.
I'm amazed they retain sentience.
Their devotion is impressive.
Quite so.
We must offer them some respect,
even should it delay our journey.
But they will allow us passage.
Because this path leads to the means
by which the fates of Shana and the Flame Hazes,
as well as the world's structure may all be changed!
Out of my way.
I have to go.
Aster.
Hecate, you head for the safe zone first.
Guide the rest of us when we withdraw.
Understood.
Domino!
Yes, Sir!
Professor, you can gather data later.
What a treasure mother lode!
Yes, yes...
- Let's go.
- All of this is - Let's go.
my food, my water, my very life!
Should we assist?
You think they require it?
Tartaros: Isolate.
You're never any fun.
"Crossing"
So, contact with the Fortress Commander has been lost...
Now, there is no way to keep the Divine Gate concealed.
We should assume the enemy will soon launch an attack.
But where did the intruders come from?
I have to tell everyone about the Divine Gate!
What is this?
It looks like the Palace of Heaven's Road.
This is...
...Ball Masque's...
Do you like it,
princess?
It's fine for you to explore the castle,
but why are you alone, without your attendants?
And you appear to have broken the bonds of Tartaros.
I have yet to introduce myself.
I am Uvall, the Chaotic Beat of Burdening Drums.
While I feel foolish, naming myself so,
I am a Crimson Lord.
Presently, my mission is to search for intruders.
Will you tell me who,
exactly, you might be, princess?
I am...
...the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer,
Shana.
A Flame Haze, is it?
Then if I'm forced to get a little rough,
you can hardly complain!
My apologies.
I'd rather not see this room damaged.
What's wrong?
Surely, in the few days since your capture,
you haven't forgotten how to fight.
I don't know...
Let us find out.
Such weak words...
As the situation is urgent, I haven't the time to be gentle.
We've gone quite deep,
but have yet to find any prisons that could hold her, indeed.
Continue search.
Of course.
Given the fighting,
that Mystes would take care to hide her deep within the castle.
If they were going to hold her, they would hold her somewhere...
This is the Crystal Altar.
But why... Why is it still...
Inexplicable.
You shouldn't touch it.
Do so, and they'll know you were here, Specialist of Everything.
It's been a long time, Spiral Organ.
Synchronization complete.
Yeah, their attacks seem more vigorous.
Mm...
With the Crypta destroyed,
they need no longer worry about damaging the fortress.
Yeah.
Then the question is whether we remain here?
Hmm...
It would be unwise
to overlook that unknown object up there.
But far worse to attack without identifying it.
Yeah...
Then until the Specialist of Everything rescues the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer...
...we continue to fight.
Set's Wheel.
Deploy Qadesh's Blood Seal.
Activate... Deploying.
Synchronizing to Qadesh's Blood Pulse.
Those old guys are kicking butt!
Are you certain you needn't return to the troops you lead,
Purson, the Majestic Lion's Bellowing Call?
I see...
Its destructive power is indeed awesome.
But were you there,
you could have targeted them more effectively.
That is why I've asked you to accompany me in this dance.
Thanks very much.
Don't scream if I tread on your foot!
The old man's too big to dodge this guy's attack.
That's why I lured him here.
But was he baiting me instead?
Indeed, you never should have tried respect for your elders.
It doesn't matter.
Any problem can be solved by making the enemy explode.
I see, you speak the truth.
One I shall obey, as well.
With my Unrestricted Method, Fanfare!
May you enjoy it.
Play...
Fanfare!
Not bad.
You're the first to avoid a single hit from those.
I am honored.
I never expected the Spiral Organ
to provide so much excellent information, including our present location.
Excellent indeed.
And a trade...
I would ask that you stay out of the organization's
central area, up ahead.
If you refuse,
I shall be forced to fight you, on Ball Masque's behalf.
I shall agree.
We do not believe that cooperation with Ball Masque, to further your own ends,
constitutes betrayal.
However, should you stand in my way,
I shall be forced to eliminate you, indeed.
I understand.
Thus, I would like to persuade you to go elsewhere.
Persuade?
I can offer you two things.
The first is information.
And the other?
Thanks to him, we were able to verify her safety, indeed.
The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer...
She escaped safely without my aid.
Unpredictable.
That our attack created an opening for her is certain, indeed.
But I believe that, left alone, she would have been fine.
Cease worry.
I know that, indeed.
I am only upset
because she didn't require my help.
I just cannot believe...
Adjust mood.
Truly, my task now is to not worry.
But to wait here for the time to strike, indeed.
And one additional thing...
To watch over her.
She has begun her battle, indeed.
You are indeed worthy of the God of Atonement's contract,
and the master's attention.
Is this it?
No, it isn't this.
I shall exercise still greater caution in this fight.
This is just like it's always been.
Something should lie ahead...
A power even more vast...
The Crypta's collapse continues apace.
We should assume the Flame Hazes are aware
of the Palace of the Stars' location.
No, the castle has already been invaded.
Our location stands revealed.
Meaning that Sophie Sawallisch will...
Emergency message.
Respond, regardless of present circumstance.
Dashing Earthly Fiend Ribesal, Commander of the Eastern Theater Forces.
Burning Agitation Haborym, Commander of the Western Theater Forces.
I hear you. What is it?
What do you need, Supreme Commander?
Cease all combat, and return to the Palace of the Stars.
It's probable that the Braider of Trembling Might leads
the bulk of the enemy forces, in a surprise attack.
What?
I request an explanation.
I shall brief you fully later.
First, issue the withdrawal order to all troops.
Understood.
The Palace of the Stars' perimeter
is riddled with scouts and Unrestricted Methods.
They will not be permitted to approach.
It's almost time.
Yes.
Captain, I'm sorry to keep asking, but is anything out of sorts?
Nothing.
No signals from this area have been received
that would require a reevaluation of Operation Calm.
We won't let that happen.
We'll show you what humans are capable of.
I'm certain you will.
Today, we shall depend on humanity's might.
I'm sure the surrounding radar facilities' Seals
have been completed by now.
We won't leave any traces of this operation.
I see no problems in our final check.
Along the rendezvous route,
I see nothing to indicate any sudden weather changes.
Thank you, François.
This operation would
have been impossible without your perfect weather predictions.
Those, along with the coordinates the Specialist of Everything calculated
from the Midnight Lost Child's information.
We cannot waste anything.
Commander Sawallisch, we're three minutes from the drop point.
Thank you, Captain.
Everyone! The time is at hand.
The operation's success
depends on our ability to end all combat before enemy reinforcements arrive.
I wish to use this battle's absolute success
as an example for future Flame Hazes,
and as a warning to the Denizens
against initiating any large-scale battles in the future.
Thus, I must ask that you not embarrass us
with failure at the start.
We now commence Operation Crossing.
More hide-and-seek?
Jeez. We can't waste time here.
I'm sure he feels the same.
Well, we'll soon figure out his location.
There!
No! To the right!
A bluff? Damn!
I'm impressed you were able to defend so quickly.
However...
It's no good.
It won't be in time...
That sound is nearby!
Why all the way out here?
And so many?!
It's begun!
An entire army, transported by air?
I didn't anticipate so many forces in a single area simultaneously.
We must hurry and counterattack.
Now what is it?
N-No! If we descend now...
Bye!
The Braider of Trembling Might, Sophie Sawallisch.
It seems the Palace of the Stars was brought down with perfect timing, indeed.
Opening created.
Then, let us go to her, indeed.
What is she?
With every fight, she gets stronger!
I can't keep up...
Am I being sacrificed to the dark god?
Still not enough.
I must recall the very basics of using my power.
Alastor...
A Flame Haze's power derives from the image of strength the contractor holds,
I must be dreaming tonight
and from its fusion with the Crimson Lord's power.
We erase it from our memories
Thus, to avoid unnecessary preconceptions,
You can't escape
the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer is not given a specific fighting style.
I only know this secret with you
What is the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer's relation to me?
The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer is...
I can't live this life
The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer is...
Without you by my side
...my very self!
Then, what does strength mean to me?
What should symbolize my power?
"I'll believe..."
What should the symbol be?!
I'm going to be devoured by the God of Atonement's contractor!
Right now, I am...
I can't live life
Without you by my side...
"I'll believe..." Even in the fatality of solitude (Yeah, yeah)
Me, my own self.
That's right.
The fragments of the burning records
A strong me...
Reflect tomorrow's brightness (Can see your light)
That is the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer,
If the luster that made you shine
Shana!
Is also inside of me, then...
True Crimson!
I will go and prove everything
Soaring Flame!
It is the reason why I continue to exist
Soaring Flame!
Judgment!
Inside of Kaos I say
How can I make you know my heart is with you hey?
Conviction!
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
I have come here for you, indeed.
Reflect tomorrow's brightness (Can see your light)
Joyous reunion.
If the luster that made you shine
Thank you.
Is also inside of me, (then I'm sure that we can go)
Let's go!
I will go and prove everything
"I'll believe..." in a tomorrow where we coexist, (Yeah, "I'll believe")
Yuji...
Operation Crossing's success gives the Flame Hazes the advantage.
Decarabia appears on the battlefield, hoping to turn the tide.
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Feelings Heard."
