Bring Smeria back into our hands...
Make them shut up!
Yes, Sir. Make them shut up!
Yes, Sir.
Even at this stage of the game, they haven't been brainwashed yet.
That device isn't anything to talk about.
How goes the preparation of the troops for interception?
Yes, Sir. The anti-aircraft gun battalions and mechanized troops
have been deployed in and around the town.
Good! Tomorrow morning, at sunrise, the executions will commence!
I guess keeping them alive was worth it.
At the crucial moment, they will be useful to Mr. Andel.
Silver Noah, respond. Silver Noah, respond.
What are they expecting to gain by hurting those guys?!
Tomorrow morning, Arc?
I know.
Hey, big brother, is this really a monster?
No matter what I do, he doesn't do anything.
He's not very exciting.
Right?
Elk...
They intend to kill those guys as a warning to us.
Let's rescue them!
Yeah, that's right! Let's go rescue them! Let's rescue them!
Yeah, that's right! Let's go rescue them!
Yes, let's go! Let's go!
Everyone, listen to me!
I want to save them as much as any of you,
but it will be very difficult and dangerous to approach the square.
Many battalions of anti-aircraft guns are aiming at Silver Noah.
It's like a huge hedgehog with the execution area at its center.
On top of that, there are mechanized troops and Chimera,
and soldiers have gathered from all over Smeria to the city.
In other words, this is a trap, in order to lure us in.
If we don't do anything about it, they will be executed.
But if we do, we'll fall right into their hands.
Their target is to eliminate all the spirits' powers,
which means they want to get rid of us,
who believe in the spirits and are protected by them.
We no longer have time to hesitate.
We cannot avoid taking this path.
At sunrise, we are going to make a surprise attack.
We'll release them from the brainwashing system,
rescue the hostages,
storm Palencia Tower, and defeat Andel!
We are going to take Smeria back into our hands!
Prepare for battle! Take Smeria back into our hands!
Take Smeria back into our hands!
The first target is to rescue the hostages
and to destroy Palencia Tower.
By doing that, the brainwashed soldiers will regain consciousness.
Until the tower is destroyed, try to kill as few soldiers as you can.
How do we tell the soldiers from the monsters?
Well, the ones which look powerful are probably Chimera.
Those are the only followers that their boss can recruit.
Well, Andel can't help that!
Sleep peacefully. The spirits will protect us all.
Finally, it's time.
Yes, it's been a long time.
Why can't I join the group attacking tomorrow?
Tell me the reason why!
You know how strong I am, don't you?
When you need all the help you can get, why leave me out?
Because of you, I almost lost my life.
If you can't think about those around you,
we don't want you on the team!
Elk, lots of things have happened to you, and you're tired.
You ought to rest for a while.
I can still fight!
Right now, you just want to pay off old scores
by throwing yourself into battle.
The spirits won't help anyone whose mind is driven by hate.
This time, I want you to stand by.
The power of spirits has nothing to do with me now!
I will avenge Meril by myself! Even if I'm alone, I will go!
Join Toshu's team and follow his instructions.
Don't take any action on your own. Understand?
Toshu, sorry, but take care of him.
Is it okay?
Elk has to overcome this trial of life by himself.
As one who is blessed by the spirits, he has to take this way.
After everything is over, if the spirits don't need him,
it will be the end.
Kukuru...
I will fight too.
I want to go with you, as I once did.
Kukuru...
I guess that's impossible.
Please make this war end as soon as possible.
Mr. Clive!
Tell Lord Andel that the rat has left its nest.
Yes, Sir!
Chongala, don't get hit!
Hold on to something.
I'll show everybody how fast the Silver Noah is!
The Silver Noah is confirmed.
It is approaching us at its maximum speed.
Good. All troops, prepare to attack.
Let the battleships intercept!
We've intercepted the Silver Noah and are currently engaged.
Are you coming, Ark?
I'll wait for you at this place where your sadness still remains,
preparing my welcome.
Just you wait!
We're going in!
The Silver Noah has passed our fleet.
What the hell?! Order the anti-aircraft battalion to fire!
But we might hit our own battleships!
I don't care. Fire!
Are they insane?
Elk? Toshu!
Damn! Why now?
Stop, Elk!
I'll destroy the tower. While I do that, charge in there!
Elk!
Damn that idiot!
Who the heck is that?
Swat that noisy fly!
Elk! You blockhead!
The brainwashing equipment!
What am I doing here?
Hey, you idiots! Intercept!
Don't leave your position! Fire! I said fire!
Retreat! Retreat!
Silver Noah...
I have to attack the Silver Noah.
Damn! The brainwashing hasn't worn off yet, has it?
I guess we have to wait until they've used up all their ammo.
Hey, Elk!
Cut it out, Elk! Those guys are just brainwashed!
No! Those guys, they attacked my village!
These guys are not the real enemy! Don't you understand that?
Let me go!
Lieza!
Please, please let me go outside of the sealed area!
Lieza, what are you talking about?!
Elk's going to die!
At this rate, Elk will lose everything!
Lieza, calm down! What happened to you?
The spirit of water told me!
Elk might not be able to get back here.
The spirit of water?
Lieza, did you hear the voice of the spirit of water?
The wind and the light, they all told me so.
No, that can't be.
Please unseal it! Please, please let me go out!
But Lieza, it's not...
Spirits of flame, water, earth, light, and wind,
please do me a favor!
Please let me go outside. Please help Elk!
Lieza! Can she possibly hear them?
What? What is about to happen?
That's Lieza!
I can't believe it! Did she just leave the sealed area?
I see!
Lieza has the power of the spirits.
I don't know since when, but I've had lots of friends.
We sometimes fight, or laugh, or cry together.
We can think about something without saying all the details,
and even if we're apart, we feel as if we're together always.
I don't know since when, but I've lost lots of friends.
I've been losing them slowly, just like the wind at the riverside,
Slowly...
So we can do everything
And we can do the right thing
Aoi hana ga yurete ta
Gogatsu no ame ni sotto nurete yurete ita no
Mo inai nante, mo inai nante
Aenai nante iwanai de
Ai no subete uketomete ima o iki tai wa
Inorou shiawase o inorou shiawase o
Thanks a lot.
I did all sorts of things, and now, I'm trundling along.
But it's okay. I'm still alive.
