Hecate!
It's all right.
Though it is uncomfortable.
This...
You didn't destroy it?
What did you do?
What did you do to my paradise?
Here's a message from the one who did it...
A message from that god who judges even the gods.
Now, let his voice be heard.
Our goal is not to stop paradise's creation.
But we cannot allow it to be created as you wish.
We will add a new law
to the newly created paradise.
They seek not to destroy the spell, but to change it?
They attempt to warp my paradise, the desire of all the Denizens?
One new, simple law...
We'll prevent them from eating humans.
We shall not let the new world be a paradise without conditions.
This is me. My hair streams across...
...my cheeks dyed red
I am me... A grain of determination
That was how it began
If there is a tomorrow that is not hazed over by hope or despair,
(simple as that)
I will not forget
This pain is the promise we made that day
I want to make it come true, I can't, I will
At night I grab the void and awaken to something in the morning
I merely soar into the endless sky, taking the shackles called "reason" Yes,
"That is all."
That's...
You oppose us by altering the laws of nature?
Sydonay!
Don't hold back.
Yes, Sir.
Very well. Then I shall attempt to stop you.
"One Reason"
Clearing the System's
entire memory?
And they're changing it, as well!
That System fragment is rewriting
the entire core, Sir!
And the result
will prevent the transformation of humanity's existence?
Meaningless! Inexplicable! Unthinkable!
Nothing less than blasphemy against paradise!
We don't like your paradise, Dad.
We're Flame Hazes, after all.
Sale-san!
Now, then... This won't be easy.
But let's give it a try.
Who are you calling "Dad"?
Today's the last day I'll ever see you, failure.
Long goodbye!
Yeah. I agree.
He's kept them from shooting each other?
He'll make this hard to the very end.
Did you really think a trick like that would work on me?
Ready?
The Creator God's masterpiece,
the realization of our desires, must remain unblemished!
You're already here?
We'll have to finish this quickly.
I can't let someone as dangerous as yourself go to the other side!
Oh, no! Professor!
I'm getting sick of you!
You're mine!
Even if they're here as a response to the girl's words,
what tactical advantage is there in resuming their advance?
I don't know.
It was hard to tell what she was thinking, anyway.
So it's even more important...
...that we keep them from the True Ruler's Shrine.
Envelop and protect. Robes of Nimrod!
We've made contact with them. It's almost time.
Yes... I prefer talking to killing.
I have been awaiting the words spoken by the God of Atonement,
Alastor, and the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer, Shana.
Words meant only for your ears.
What difference can it make that we've heard the girl's speech?
Persuasion is not a thing too suited to Flame-Hazes.
I do not attempt to persuade.
There is nothing that requires changing.
Let us begin with the words we gave the Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Slayer.
They were:
"Dream a splendid dream, and let your actions reveal the dream."
Why do you resume a pointless attack,
with our paradise already altered?
I'm tired of guessing games.
Let's just say it.
Yes...
The reason we kill and kill, kill and kill!
Because this battle
is an execution ground, where all still gather, no matter how many fall!
Slay ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million...
But their desire for the new world will continue to draw them near!
So I will kill as many of those beasts who have learned to hunt man,
those who know how it feels, as I can!
I will eliminate as many of those who have tasted men as I can!
A boon for the new world, before its birth!
Simply to kill...
The Four Gods of the Earth will be sacrificed for such a cause?
I've no intention of being sacrificed, but very well...
If it bothers you, I bear a message for you.
This is senseless!
No matter how many thousands of my comrades you kill,
what will it matter?
Listen well, powerful creature that crawls this blue Earth.
We shall take flight and search for your dwelling.
We may not find it.
But then, we may.
Those who have come to this land out of greed...
...will die.
Like this.
And those who survive will never forget this.
That this was the fate
of those beasts who learned the taste of man.
Foolishness.
You believe such a thing would stop us Denizens?
But the new world will persist...
Long after those who have gathered here pass on.
The future.
Yes, many of the Denizens born in the future
will go to the new world.
And then, you will be the messengers from the past.
You will be the ancient creatures
that once ate men.
You will speak of it to others while you travel,
while you eat, while you play.
How, when those who ate men went to the new world,
they were killed without mercy.
For that is the truth.
A taboo will rise up around it.
A taboo?
We simply won't tell any of them!
I understand. That it's impossible.
Someone will speak of it.
But... But...
We are here now to create that truth.
We are here to bring death to all.
I will not let that happen!
And why speak this nonsense to us alone?
By telling those with many comrades
what our actions mean, our intentions will spread.
This hour will decide the future of the Crimson Denizens.
It is the last hour that they will eat humans.
You Crimson Denizens, who share the world with us,
know that we continue to create.
We create the future of this world,
the Crimson World, and the rift, as well.
Now and forever.
Even now, the tale of creation continues.
A dream? It's so pretty...
Thank you, Kazumi Yoshida-san.
Thank you?
Yes.
You made Pheles fulfill my selfish wish,
despite her own desires.
Had I stayed within the Midnight Lost Child,
I would have simply vanished.
Before that could happen, you brought us together.
I'm sorry.
I think I understand what Pheles-san felt,
when she gave me the Giralda.
But I made her do the one thing she didn't want to,
all to change things for the two I love.
So, I'm sorry.
You're apologizing to Pheles,
after all she put you through.
Then my response remains "Thank you."
Johann-san?
I'd only planned to bring you here to share a message for a friend.
But I'm glad I got to talk to you.
A message?
I'm going to be too busy.
Pheles is upset by the horrible thing she did to her,
and she doesn't want her to come.
But I plan to rely on her anyway.
She is a friend, after all.
What are you going to do now?
If Pheles-san doesn't want it to happen, then that means...
Yes. I'm going to disappear.
There isn't much time left, but I plan to do what I can.
No, I plan to leave hope behind.
You aren't going to try and find a cure or something?
No... I don't think so.
But it is the one way by which a king
once made life overcome death.
If I take advantage of what's about to happen, it may be possible.
We plan to get in on the Creator God's Grand Order.
That's why we gave you the scroll to change the spell...
So this would happen.
Ah! Keep all this a secret, okay?
The Creator God and the Flame Hazes would get mad.
Yes. I understand.
It's beautiful, isn't it?
When I was young,
this was the first place where Pheles and I flew.
I wanted to fly with her forever,
so I ignored how cold the wind felt, how heavy my eyelids were.
However, I finally lost consciousness...
And the next thing I knew, I was lying next to the lake.
"Don't worry," she said, "I'll fly with you again."
A strange way to scold someone.
I haven't visited this place since. It's been hundreds of years.
We had lots of chances to fly together.
So why is Pheles remembering this now?
Yes, we're here...
Just like we were then.
I'm happy.
No matter what happens,
no matter what becomes of me, if I'm with Pheles...
Yeah. Me, too, Johann.
Where are we?
Oh, you're awake?
So that's what happened, and now we're running.
It's a lot to take in, with everything going on outside...
But do you get the basic idea?
Y-Yes.
Originally, the plan was to hide and wait for this to end,
but there are just too many of our comrades.
Can't go this way either, huh?
We'll take another route. Okay?
Roger!
You're mine!
I was so close...
If it were that easy, it'd be no problem.
Hurry, but don't rush.
Sorry...
How embarrassing.
That was insane! What were you thinking?
That's right. It's not like you to get so emotional.
You've known your dad for too long to get pulled into his excitement.
That may be why I was in such a hurry.
This is the opportunity of a lifetime
to slay Dantalion the Seeker.
Yeah.
The creation of paradise is an entirely new event.
He'd never leave from a spot where he can observe the whole thing.
So if a bit of craziness could get him...
Or so I thought.
You're right that it's not like him.
But I'd hope that you could understand his feelings.
All right.
Then at least let me be involved, too.
Chiara?!
If you were going to listen to anything I said,
this never would have happened in the first place.
So, working together and taking him head-on,
is the best choice for the Archer of Aurora.
Then our lovely Chiara will provide the escort.
Well, I suppose we're more likely to survive with two of us.
Sale-san!
Sale-san, was that...
He's announcing a new weapon? Now?
What do you think?
This is the result of further research into the Ultimate Fist Circle...
The ultimate bomb, the Ultimate Dispersing Circle!
No armor or Unrestricted Method can protect against it.
An excellent super-weapon,
which devours anything within a thirty-meter radius!
As I thought. This won't be easy.
Damn it. I keep running, but we keep heading toward that tower.
Yeah, the Denizens continue to enter from the outside.
Indeed. Merely escaping them at all is difficult.
Trying to fight is hopeless.
Such is the life of a Flame Haze.
Hey, Para! Aren't you going too fast?
W-Well...
The handle... No...
It's out of control...
It's out of control!
What?!
It's the Unrestricted Method Daimon.
Coachman of Corpse-Bearing Slaves, protect Kazumi Yoshida!
Gotcha!
Wh-What's wrong?
It's a gas attack that affects only specific targets.
It probably won't affect humans at this point, but just in case...
Protect those two, and prepare for impact!
R-Right.
We can't change course. Crap!
Boss!
Damn it!
Gyuuki-san!
Khamsin-san!
The two footsteps, they head toward the distant yonder
"Let's leave everything behind"
Fly toward the future
The motive has a strong grasp on my heart Yes, this is the ultimate descent
The two of us are fellow soldiers flattering one another's pulses
If you are going to protect your love, you cannot reject battle
Without fudging a phrase, we rhyme down this hot path
Passing each other by, quarreling
Set free from the enchantment
If you are going to leave on a journey,
I will never let go of your hand again
Do you still remember the first time
Our eyes locked, just as it happened?
Even if I am engulfed by the vortex of slumber,
It will not vanish, I won't let it... It's our dream
To be as ONE
When you placed your hands on your cheeks and laughed
I thought, "I want to protect you"
We took a roundabout path, huh? But I've realized
That I live just for you
Snow of light flutters down the sky
Where the waning moon and stars go to snuggle
The story we have written
Will continue on forever
The battle between Sale and the Seeker heads toward its conclusion.
And Wilhelmina heads for the midst of the battle.
Before the final battle, Shana and Yuji both prepare to reveal their cards.
Next time, on Shakugan no Shana Final:
"Dream of the Stranger."
