Attention all citizens!
This land is now the fortress city of the Goddess Pallas-sama!
Cease your useless resistance,
and either sink silently into the darkness of time, or choose to die!
Hang in there!
We've almost reached the underground passage to the shelter...
We can run in there.
You have a strong Cosmo.
Are you a Saint?
Nope...
If I were a Saint, I could kick your butt.
Shut up.
Either way, your Cosmo is strong, so you'll die here.
Kill him.
What?
Is that Cloth...
The Equuleus Bronze Saint, Kitalpha?
Did he say Saint?
Equuleus Celeris,
you ruined my chances for promotion...
And I, Hati, will never forget that.
Just you wait!
The Cloth Is Passed On! Equuleus Subaru Is Born!
The Cloth Is Passed On.
Equuleus Subaru Is Born.
Selene, how is Celeris?
He's still asleep.
What if the Pallasites attack?
Don't worry.
We're with you.
Eden!
Looks like you're popular with the ladies.
I'm so jealous.
Shut up.
Haruto?
How does it look out there?
As I thought, moving above ground is rather risky.
Hati is still after us.
That jerk! Let's punch him in the face!
Subaru, don't let him provoke you.
Our strength and our Cloths are approaching their limits.
If possible, we should avoid fighting.
Really?
That's right!
Celeris?
Sorry to worry you...
Celeris! Is it okay for you to be up?
I'm fine.
It's thanks to your nursing.
No, it's thanks to Subaru.
Right?
While you were sleeping, Subaru brought us all kinds of things.
Bandages, medicine, food...
Really.
You're a nice guy...
Jeez!
What are you babbling about?
You pushed yourself too hard, and almost died.
Then you saved my life.
Thanks.
Jeez...
Think about how badly you screwed up!
Celeris, we plan to head for Pallas's castle.
Then take this sewer, and it'll lead you right there.
Be careful...
The enemy might be waiting for you.
Well, I'm sure you can break your way through.
Celeris...
What will you do?
Sorry, but I can't go with you.
I need to protect the people here.
Wait a second...
Hati's on the surface, waiting for you.
If you fight in your current condition, you won't survive.
You're worried about me?
Hati's not in much better shape.
And you have an important task ahead.
To defeat Pallas.
Celeris, we'll leave this place to you.
Okay, Brother...
Please defeat Pallas and save everyone.
We will.
If you get in trouble, I'll come and help.
I promise... Because we're brothers.
Thanks.
We owe you one!
You be careful, as well.
Let us meet again.
Good luck.
Eden, thank you for protecting everyone!
Take care.
Yeah!
Okay, let's make a run for Pallas's castle.
Right!
Let's go.
That's right, let's go!
There's no time... Let's hurry.
What are you doing, Subaru?
R-Right...
Seems like the others have left.
Come out, Equuleus Celeris!
Come out, and settle this with me!
Or would you prefer I destroy the underground tunnel and bury you alive?
C-Celeris-sama...
Don't worry.
Stay here, everyone.
Celeris...
Be a good girl, Selene.
Just wait a bit for me.
Don't worry, I won't be long.
Let's go straight there.
Subaru?
What's wrong, Subaru?
I'm sorry...
I can't leave Celeris alone.
If I do, he'll die.
I want to help him!
Subaru, as Saints, our task is to defeat Pallas
and save Athena. That's all.
But if you insist on saving Celeris, I won't stop you.
Koga!
Take care of Celeris.
Yeah, leave it to me!
We'll keep going.
Yeah.
Hati!
I'm right here!
If you want to fight, then come on.
I won't run or hide!
Hey!
Subaru, what are you doing here?
And what are you thinking?
What else?
I'm finishing my fight with Hati.
I told you that's crazy...
It's to protect everyone.
As a Saint, if I stay with them, everyone down there will be in danger.
But if you fight, you'll die...
Are you okay with that?!
You're that worried about me?
But this is the path I chose.
Or perhaps it wasn't me.
But this Cloth that chose me and my fate...
Your Cloth chose you?
Keep fighting!
The legend says the bearer of the Equuleus Cloth will surely die.
In other words, this is a perfect chance for us to defeat a Saint!
Go!
Th-This is a Saint of Athena.
Equuleus Kitalpha...
He wasn't a citizen of this town.
He wanders the world, appearing when all hope is lost,
to help the powerless.
Hey! I don't care if you're a Saint...
Fighting alone is crazy!
So there's someone in this town
with a brave heart and strong Cosmo?
Brave? Of course I am!
I won't let these guys take over the town where I grew up.
No, you've got guts.
I'm sure this Cloth will be pleased.
He's weakened.
Everyone attack him at once, and crush him!
I have a request of you.
Observe well my final Cosmo.
Wh-What?
Shine, my Cosmo...
Supernova Explosion!
Maximum!
What?!
Those were the heroic last moments of a Saint.
Like the final, dazzling light of a star before it dies...
A supernova!
I swore in my heart that I would carry on Kitalpha's work.
That even if I died to do it, I would protect this town and those I love.
Celeris...
There you are!
Hati!
We've entered an open area.
It's a little creepy.
Someone's here... Be careful, everyone!
Hello again, Wolf Haruto.
You...
Class-3 Pallasite of the Deathscythe, Soul Killer Cyllene.
And I am Greip, the same.
The strongest twins among the Pallasite Army will send you to hell.
Not now!
Let's split up and fight them.
We'll break through!
This Cosmo is filled with hate, Celeris!
You interfered with my promotion.
I have no more chances left...
Taste my hatred and rage!
Celeris!
Celeris, are you okay?
Stay back, Subaru! Run!
What are you talking about?
I can't run now!
No, there's no reason for you to die, too.
Celeris... I'm the same as you.
A dear friend gave me this Cloth.
A dear friend who protected me from Hati's attack.
I'll carry on his will.
Just as he protected me, I'll protect you, even if it costs me my life!
Subaru!
Hati!
Very well.
I shall kill you first, as I killed your friend.
Shut up! Stop talking!
I'll avenge Elna!
Saints are such fools.
Sacrificing your life for the dead...
How can you do something so stupid?
It isn't stupid!
Because of Elna...
Because of the feelings he entrusted to me,
I was able to become strong.
In Elna's name, I'll defeat you!
Then show me the strength of those feelings!
Bloody Scar!
Pleiades Impact!
There's more to come, brat!
Subaru!
Elna, I'm sorry...
I... couldn't win...
The strength of your feelings
is nothing compared to the strength of my hatred.
Now, I'll send you to see your friend!
Don't touch Subaru!
Subaru...
Are you okay?
Celeris, you've done enough.
Run away.
That Cloth should be useless now.
How?
Hati, you think only of yourself, so you wouldn't understand.
I'm not fighting for myself!
Subaru risked his life to save me...
He fought with me, even though he was injured.
He's a friend like no other.
I will rise again to save my comrades, no matter how injured I am.
Then I'll smash your tired body into pieces so you can never get up again!
Taste my ultimate attack!
Bloody Hurricane!
Subaru, can you hear me?
I ask you to watch my Cosmo.
Celeris, what are you saying?
Shine, my Cosmo!
Supernova Explosion Maximum!
What? My attack...
I'm not done yet...
Explode!
My dreams of promotion!
Celeris!
You idiot... That was crazy!
Maybe I did push myself a little far...
Well, anyway, I defeated Hati.
This place will be safe for a while.
Celeris...
Oh, right.
Subaru, give me your hand.
I want you to keep this.
This is the Equuleus Cloth Stone?
From now on, you'll need it more than I will.
Celeris...
What? Are you scared?
Of the fate this Cloth brings?
Hell, no...
I'm going to become a god!
I won't die that easily!
I thought you'd say that.
I believe that you'll be able to overcome its fate.
The fate of Equuleus...
I'm counting on you, partner.
I'm tired...
Let me rest for a while.
Celeris, I will carry on your feelings!
Devil Exclusion!
That technique is much more powerful than it was before!
How long can we hold out?
Everyone, are you all right?
Devil Blizzard!
Yuna! Are you okay?
Yeah.
Are they playing with us by damaging our Cloths?
You weaken the prey before you kill it.
That's the first rule of hunting!
Hold it!
Hmm?
Who's there?
Subaru!
That Steel Saint?
You don't even have a Cloth.
Get lost, wimp!
I have my Cloth right here.
Please give me power...
Celeris!
Eh?
After it touched Subaru-kun's blood, the Cloth evolved?
This is the new Equuleus Cloth?
Here I go, Equuleus!
My name is Subaru...
Equuleus Subaru!
You look like you'll be fun to defeat.
I'll slice that new Cloth of yours in two!
Not bad...
But it was just luck.
Taste the power of our Deathscythes!
What?
The Deathscythes couldn't scratch him?!
Wow!
So this is a new Saint Cloth...
The new Equuleus Cloth!
Interesting...
Now I'm excited.
You aren't bad for someone fighting alone.
I'm not fighting alone.
I have something I have to protect.
This town...
And the people who live here.
I will protect them all!
Can one as weak as you do that?
Greip, let's use our ultimate technique.
Yeah, let's fire it off...
The ultimate technique of the ultimate twins!
Devil Twin Tempest!
Shine, my Cosmo.
Shine, my supernova!
Supernova Explosion!
I did it, Celeris!
Subaru!
Subaru-kun!
Subaru! Subaru! Are you okay?
Subaru!
