No retreat!
The situation is dire.
Why don't you withdraw by yourself?
Please don't worry about me.
We still have yet to see anything.
Is that so?
Yes?
Nothing...
I just felt something odd, coming from inside of it.
From inside?
Or perhaps I should say from the other side?
It can't be...
Has the Creator God, the Snake of the Festival, returned?
It's certainly possible.
Yeah...
It feels like a waste to destroy these masterpieces.
An ephemeral dream, of the living world, dreamed by a god.
No one will blame us when the dream is destroyed.
Yeah, that was close.
Hmm, a single one would be fatal.
We should be very careful.
Yeah, but...
Hmm.
We have a plan.
Ceremonial Equipment.
Deploy Qadesh's Blood Seal.
Activate.
Constructing Unrestricted System, Qadesh's Blood Pulse.
Deploying.
Synchronizing with Unrestricted System, Qadesh's Blood Pulse.
What?
Yeah, but...
Hmm... Likely.
As you fought,
you split all these parts from me.
But you are no threat to me.
Yeah.
He's started to tear apart the materials
we worked so hard to collect.
Hmm, battle means destruction.
It's the way of the world, and we must accept it.
You may command great power, but it changes nothing.
You simply follow the path of your life,
carrying out your assigned tasks, and killing as you are told.
I will be able to defeat them,
but not through anything I've done.
Simply because of the power I wield.
This is bad.
Destroy.
Khamsin Nbh'w, look ahead!
I don't understand.
What meaning is there in obsessing over something this small?
"From Rift to Rift"
Shana...
You can still return to me,
and walk beside me, toward the Grand Order.
Yuji, you can stop working with Ball Masque,
and help me.
I can't do that!
No, I can't.
No matter what.
I've told Yuji Sakai everything, concealing nothing.
He took my hand,
knowing what will happen once the Grand Order is achieved.
He wishes to liberate
the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer from her destiny of battle.
He wishes to protect his friends and family.
Thus was his decision made.
To stand with the Ball Masque.
Thoughtless words
will not sway his resolve.
Bel-Peol, is my return having its expected effect?
Professor, you can synchronize with the Conloquium, yes?
Of course I can!
We can use it to detect changes in the world beyond,
from our vantage point here, on the Path of Pilgrimage!
The miracle of science makes this possible,
the Excellent 252546 Logical Pilgrim's Box!
Of course, ninety percent goes to observation devices,
developed for other purposes.
Ow!
Now, then!
Press the button, and the helmet goes down on the head!
It's coming! It's coming!
It's coming!
It's excellent!
Massive quakes that are not quakes, engulfing everything!
The destruction of the gigantic structures, in the rift between two worlds,
have caused a contraction,
which now creates a natural disaster
unlike any seen in history!
Here and now, I name thee:
The Mistquake!
This is...
Is it really the Creator God?
The Mistquake...
Yes...
A vibration that shakes the world itself,
which only those who control the Power of Existence can feel.
Just a small fragment of my Grand Order.
What's going on here?
Dunno.
Regardless, this confusion isn't a good sign for us, the attackers.
Yeah, I guess it's time to go.
Where's Chiara?
What's happening?
It's not an earthquake...
Think it's an enemy Unrestricted Method?
No, it's not.
They're uneasy, too.
Mammon!
This is the natural disaster
that the Strategist spoke of.
This quake is the doing of our master, the Snake of the Festival!
We will charge the enemy base!
All forces, forward!
Yeah.
Either way, we must fight until we die.
With no means of fighting back,
we must wait for the situation to change, indeed.
And until then, we've gotta keep walking the tightrope.
What meaning does continuing this battle hold?
Why do you struggle?
All of you.
You will defeat me and force me to obey?
Alastor.
You think nothing of using the God of Atonement's power
as a threat?
You wouldn't know this,
but before she made her contract to be the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer,
she said this to me:
"They say the Flame Hazes
fight the Crimson Denizens, in order to maintain balance in the world.
I will watch, and then decide for myself whether that is true.
No matter how much everyone loves me,
and no matter how much I love everyone,
if I don't like it, I just can't do it."
Such a girl has challenged you,
as she tries to walk her own path,
having seen your Grand Order.
How could I be unhappy with that?
She...
Yes, she alone has greatness
worthy of being my contractor,
following the path others fear to tread,
head held high.
Atonement not only protects the world from disruption,
but becomes the world's final judgment.
Therefore,
I walk alongside this great one,
charting the path we shall take.
I see.
Then we shall follow our path, as well.
Upon my return,
you may listen to my declaration of the Grand Order.
That is the master of the Ball Masque.
The Creator God, the Snake of the Festival.
That is the Snake of the Festival?
A true God... a Crimson God?
Activate!
Deploy Qadesh's Blood Pulse.
Synchronize.
Release Qadesh's Blood Pulse!
This time, it's over!
What size...
Amazing.
Is this it?
Looks like they kicked your butt.
Sorry, but you'll have to stay that way until my return.
Don't worry about me.
What?
For now...
Destruction Blade?
For now,
I just want to watch it a little longer.
It's huge.
An overwhelming power, far too strong to resist.
Is this fear?
The feeling you had toward me?
The reason you left me?
I...
I am jealous of you.
What I have is too small, too faint...
Is this how I made you feel?
Yes...
Feeling this way, you could never have stayed with me.
But now, I have learned
that there is a being greater by far than myself.
And that, from its perspective, both you and I are as nothing.
So smile,
my beautiful butterfly...
The Destruction Blade, Sabrac, has fallen.
I see.
We managed to survive somehow.
I guess so, but...
But we cannot lower our guard yet.
Fight onward.
Yeah, you're right.
Now that we're here...
Indeed, we need simply to fight.
The order to attack, Bel-Peol...
That which falls to rubble...
That which departs...
For now, I set aside my sorrow.
To follow my path...
Begone!
Shana!
Yuji!
It appears we haven't a moment to spare, Takemikazuchi.
I do not disagree, Sophie Sawallisch-kun.
You can't...
Y-You're really going to do it?
Yes.
I will now attempt to destroy the Divine Gate.
Is it possible?
We must try!
With the Snake of the Festival reviving,
the odds that the four who entered the gate remain safe...
...are minimal.
Grant to us, who sin and die,
turning to nothing and unknown to all,
a victory, at the least.
Amen, hallelujah.
I...
Daaaraassshaa!
I will defeat you, Yuji.
If the Creator God stands against me,
I'll defeat him, too.
And then, I will search for a path with you.
Shana...
After you hear the declaration of my Grand Order,
if you still think it possible, challenge me again.
But for today...
Time is up.
Chigusa told me
that a kiss on the lips is a vow.
Shana?
I must be dreaming tonight
That kiss is my one-sided vow to you.
You can't do it...
We erase it from our memories
It isn't whether I can do it.
I just will do it.
You can't escape
That's why it's a vow!
I only know this secret with you
How can I protect you forever?
Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you
I can't live this life
Without you by my side
"I'll believe..."
At last, the hour has come.
My return is complete!
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?
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")
This isn't the sound of the end.
It's the sound of the next battle starting.
The Snake of the Festival returns
to decree the Grand Order's final stage.
The shaken Flame Hazes are forced to retreat, but...
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Declaration of the Grand Order."
