"Misaki Station"
Hey.
You're late, moron.
Sorry.
I'm not the one you should say that to.
Let's go.
Yeah.
The vast black mirror in the sky is named the Divine Gate.
It is the entrance to a path created so that
the Creator God,
the Snake of the Festival, may return to this world.
The Trinity and his current body
are inside.
I, the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer and my comrades,
will go to stop him!
Attack!
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
Welcome back, Sato-kun.
Yoshida-san?
You could've waited inside.
I told her...
Since you'd run back,
to come over and see which of us arrived first.
Just like I said, I won, right?
Yes.
What? Jeez...
You aren't coming?
It's all right.
I was able to see for myself that you're back.
That's true.
I saw you here. That's all I have to do.
H-Hey...
Did you come back for us?
No, you didn't.
But...
You know how to
wake a sleeping princess, right?
Bye.
Call us when she wakes up.
O-Okay.
"Feelings Heard"
What are you doing?
Marcosias...
What are you doing here?
What?
I'm here because I heard you were coming back.
Why?
I'm not interested in peeking.
B-But...
Isn't that why you returned?
Well, yeah...
Eita and the girl told you what happened.
Some.
Then, go.
Stop making me run my mouth.
Well, um...
Go.
Yes.
Keisaku, when it's time to act cool,
you can never act too cool.
Good luck.
Thank you, Marcosias.
Once everything's well, tell me that.
I'm back, Margery-san.
Margery-san...
I heard about everything that happened.
Who the Silver you were hunting really was.
And that to you,
the centuries you spent chasing him meant nothing.
But they meant something to us.
To Tanaka, Shana-chan, Yoshida-san, and Oga-chan.
To Sakai, too.
And more than anyone,
they meant something to me.
No matter what anyone thinks of you...
No matter what you think of yourself,
the fact that you're here means something to me.
My entire existence is devoted
to keeping you alive.
When I heard that you needed me,
I was happy.
That happiness told me...
...that I really do live for your sake.
Once you wake up,
that's the first thing I want to tell you.
Marger...
I heard it...
Your voice.
And I heard
Eita and Kazumi's voices, too,
when I learned the truth and nearly fell apart.
He hasn't done anything for you yet!
You've been loved for a long time!
It is true
that I thought of you then.
And I felt my feelings toward you.
I was surprised that they were there.
I doubted them.
And then, I just didn't know...
That's why I slept.
Why?
If they were real,
then I could postpone annihilation,
at least for a while.
Until I could feel them more strongly.
You felt it, didn't you?
Enough to stave off annihilation.
That's enough.
It's more than enough.
To me...
Thank you...
Or I suppose those words may be an insult, Keisaku.
It doesn't matter to me.
Just having you here...
That's not enough.
So as a woman,
I ask you, as a man.
Keisaku,
I'm not interrogating your devotion or your life.
Do you love me?
Yes! I do!
Do you remember?
When I talked about how a Flame Haze
is too strong to hold someone as tightly as they can?
Y-Yes.
For a short while, I can make you as strong as I am.
But if I don't put that kind of distance between us,
I'll find myself getting closer to you.
Right?
That's how it's been until now...
And now?
Why not see for yourself?
What's that?
A bird that's not a bird.
Indeed.
It appears to be the Flame Hazes who banished the Creator God
in the distant past.
Are they telling us to follow?
So it seems.
The enemy army's disarray
had turned the tide of battle toward us.
The troops on the front lines
say that the fortress guards have emerged.
So they didn't expect an attack on their main fortress,
and left it ill-defended.
François, what's happening in the surrounding area?
Right. I'll see.
From what's in my detection radius,
a force approaches from the north.
It's likely to be the Ball Masque defensive forces,
turning inward.
Closer, from the south,
another force approaches.
Those troops aren't that numerous.
We can defeat them, but...
The problem is the two larger forces, which have withdrawn, to the east and west.
No matter how forced their march,
I believe they cannot arrive before morning.
Our own forces harass and pursue the retreating troops, but...
For now, we enjoy a temporary advantage.
It will last only until the first eastern or western army arrives.
How much can we accomplish
before time runs out?
First, send half our reserves
to aid those who fight near the Divine Gate.
It need be merely enough to occupy them.
Our goal is to split the enemy forces.
Samuel is to lead the remaining half of our reserves,
in an assault on the Palace of the Stars.
Yes, ma'am.
Now, then.
Both the Trinity and the Creator God
are absent from this battle.
Let us inflict all the damage we can.
We lack the necessary troops.
But the Palace of the Stars guards our greatest secrets.
It must not fall into enemy hands even for an instant.
Thus,
I must at least buy time until the nearby forces arrive.
Had the western forces on their way,
and their commander, Burning Agitation Haborym, arrived,
there would be no problem.
But we do not have enough to last the short time
until his arrival.
I have no choice, then.
This is...
The source of the vibrations is moving!
Impossible!
Decarabia?
To stand at the front of his troops...
That's unlike him.
What?
It seems that directly attacking Decarabia does no damage!
And attacks that were effective against the Denizens no longer work!
He's used an Unrestricted Method of teleportation on his own body,
to deflect attack.
And he's using defensive spells on the Denizens on the battlefield.
Those simple Unrestricted Methods don't work on groups.
He's cast them on each individual?
Madness...
He, himself, must have appeared,
to cast so many Unrestricted Methods on a battlefield.
But this is...
He's abandoned any intent of prolonging the battle.
He isn't giving up.
He's taking a calculated risk.
He's so short on forces,
he's willing to sacrifice his own life?
Or perhaps reinforcements are close enough
that he need only hold the line for a bit?
It seems I must not hold my power in reserve, either!
We'll concentrate our attacks on a single point.
We build a bridge, a single road above.
Understood, Zirnitra?
We build a bridge, a single road above.
Establishing.
Begin the operation, Demantius.
Disrupt! Strike... Build.
Thy name is honor...
...Hill of Žižka!
All forces, form ranks!
Ready...
Charge!
The blizzard has stopped?
With my vision restored, targeting them will be simple.
I'll only have time for a single strike.
Thus, that one strike will be as powerful
as I can make it.
I've found you!
Daaaraassshaa!
Well done.
But don't you think you used too much of your power?
But it was worth it.
Now Samuel's charge...
C-Commander Sawallisch!
A massive force has suddenly appeared
on our western flank!
We kept a careful watch!
Those flames...
Haborym, the Burning Agitation.
Their western forces
have returned so quickly?
That flock of birds was an Unrestricted Method of concealment?
We've been fooled.
Enemy reinforcements!
Oh, no...
They're right on our flank!
The time has come, earlier than we expected.
Margery-san?!
What?
Look at your face...
I-I'm sorry.
I read what you brought me...
Sophie's plans.
Calm. Crossing. And Ebb.
Yes...
You get ready, too.
We're leaving.
You're coming with me, right?
I see, centered on the hidden Rinne,
I must be dreaming tonight.
Unrestricted Methods placed on the fortress ahead.
We erase it from our memories
Three layers.
Hiding, intercommunication...
And the last is one I don't recognize.
You can't escape
That totals twelve defenses in our path, indeed.
I only know this secret with you
As usual, their goal is...
...delay progress.
Yeah.
But your inability to recognize that Unrestricted Method is worrisome.
How can I protect you forever?
Indeed.
We should start with all caution.
Close your eyes
But that judge's eye of yours is convenient.
I'll be anything for you
I'd like to swap it with mine, which only breaks stuff.
I can't live this life
Ow...
Without you by my side...
I'm surprised you'd prefer to see, than to destroy.
Shut up.
"I'll believe..."
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")
Shana leaves Wilhelmina and the rest to fight Sabrac,
and chases after Yuji.
But Hecate's ritual begins,
and the Path of Pilgrimage resounds with the Snake of the Festival's body's cry.
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Words of a Vow."
