He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
Hey, that prisoner's doing something.
Don't worry, only one with a god's power could escape from Cape Sounion.
If only she'd sworn allegiance to Athena, she'd have been forgiven...
He loves me not.
He loves me...
Hey, you two?
Wh-What do you want?
Standing there is dangerous!
Former Gold Saint of Gemini, Paradox.
Who are you?
I am Gallia...
Class-1 Pallasite, the War God's Manifestation Blade Gallia.
I've come to get you.
Ah... So you wish to recruit me...
That's right.
But I've been told only a god's power can release me from this prison.
How will you accomplish it?
Even the power of a goddess such as Athena can do it, correct?
Then it is nothing before my holy blade.
Behold the light of the War God's Manifestation Blade!
Come with me, Paradox.
Oh, my.
A Destined Encounter! Gemini Returns!
A Destined Encounter.
Gemini Returns.
Here I go...
If you don't want to get hurt, retreat!
Way to go, Kiki...
Since it was repaired, I think my Cloth is even stronger.
Subaru's all fired-up...
Let's get a move on, too.
Yeah.
They're so strong...
Athena and the Gold Saints are behind us.
The Gold Saints were terrifying to face as foes,
but just having them on our side is reassuring.
It seems we're losing.
Gallia...
Not only did those mere Bronzes push our troops around,
but now, Athena and the Gold Saints are here.
Am I wrong to think it's only a matter of time
before they reach Pallas's castle?
If you don't pull it together,
your beloved Pallas-sama will scold you.
Anyway, where have you been?
I haven't seen you for a while.
I went to get a new toy.
A toy?
Yes, a fun and dangerous little toy that will throw the battlefield into chaos.
What is this?
I can't see...
Is this fog?
Where did it come from?
Where is everyone?
Where am I?
Welcome, Ryuho...
Fate has reunited us once more.
Y-You can't be...
The Gold Saint of Gemini.
Paradox?
But... That can't be...
A Chronotector?
I'm so happy you noticed my new outfit!
You really do know how to talk to a lady.
I am Paradox, a class-2 Pallasite and bearer of the staff...
Scarlet Janus Paradox.
It can't be.
A Gold Saint of Athena becoming a Pallasite?
Black is the new Gold.
More importantly... You know why I'm here, don't you?
I've come for you...
Ryuho?
Where are you, Ryuho?
Hey, Ryuho's gone!
What?
It was that weird fog.
Let's go back... It could be an enemy trap.
No.
With the enemy before us, we can't turn our backs on them.
We must move forward.
I have faith that Ryuho will catch up to us safely.
Koga...
Scarlet Janus!
Ryuho, while I was in the Sounion prison, you were all I thought of...
You defeated me.
I can never forget that humiliation.
You shamed a woman like me.
You'll pay for that.
I can tell you're a former Gold Saint.
But I defeated you in the past.
There's no reason I cannot win now.
Rise up, my Cosmo!
Oh, my...
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
No...
Is that all?
Paradox is stronger than she was before.
Is it her Chronotector's power?
How rude...
This is my power.
It seems you have the wrong impression.
Last time, I went easy on you.
Because you were so adorable...
But that's impossible...
If I use my true power, a mere Bronze...
World Is End.
See?
Just like that!
Why, Paradox?
With all your power...
Why would you assist Pallas?
Why would you betray Athena?!
Why?
You know why.
Listen...
I...
hate Athena and Kido Saori.
You understand, don't you?
Simply because she was born a goddess, she gets all the attention.
No...
I hate people like that!
Yes, just like that other girl...
For some reason, everyone found her so special.
That woman?
That is why I shall never fight for Athena again, Ryuho.
No way...
That's the only reason?
The world will be destroyed...
But you won't even protect the people of Earth!
Be quiet, Ryuho.
This is fate...
From the start, everything was decided.
My betrayal, Athena's defeat,
as well as the Earth's destruction.
Fate? Are you joking?
No, I can tell.
Behold the stars that determine our fates.
Crossroad Mirage.
This is...
Have you forgotten? This is subspace.
Since birth, my power has been to see into the future from this place.
That is how I can tell...
Just ask the stars.
There is not even one future in which Athena wins.
You're lying...
No, I'm not.
So, Ryuho, cease this useless fighting.
I refuse!
I've passed the point where your words will deceive me!
I see...
What a little brat you are.
World Is End.
What's this?
What is this strong Cosmo?
How?
Without sharing the same power as I possess, you can't enter this subspace.
Who's there?
Show yourself!
No way...
This cannot be...
It's impossible!
Could you be...
The Gold Saint of Gemini?
Who are you?
There is no Gemini except for me!
No...
You can't be...
The same face?
Another Paradox?
Paradox, my sister...
Have you forgotten your younger sister's face?
Younger sister?
I am the true Gold Saint of Gemini...
Integra.
Integra?
The true Gemini?
Impossible.
How are you, my little sister, a Gold Saint?
To defeat you.
What was that?
Despite your vast power,
you've joined the forces of evil and wish to cause suffering.
As your younger sister, I cannot allow this!
To put an end to my sister's wrongdoing,
and to fight for Athena and the Earth's love and peace,
I have come to the battlefield.
Wh-Why do you pretend to be such a good girl?
Young man...
You have done well to make it this far. Leave the rest to me.
Y-Yes!
Integra!
Don't pretend to be a good girl when you're wearing my face!
Do you think a sudden Gold Saint like yourself can fight me?
I do.
That is why I have come.
Rise, my Cosmo.
Paradox's Cosmo is powerful, but it overflows with evil intent.
Compared to that, Integra's Cosmo...
It's so beautiful and pure...
There isn't the slightest distortion or haze.
It's crystal clear, just like her eyes.
Wh-What a powerful clash of Cosmo!
And their power is colliding and smoldering in the middle.
This is the One Thousand Wars...
It's said that if Gold Saints fight, their stalemate will last a thousand days.
But...
I'm impressed.
But...
Integra!
I've always been the stronger.
Did you forget, fool?
I did not.
With my power, I cannot defeat you.
I know that!
But even so, I will fight.
Even if we both fall,
if that can protect even a single innocent...
I shall gladly sacrifice my life!
Could it be that Integra was planning to die, as well?
What resolve.
Integra, you really are...
a fool.
I don't plan on dying with you.
You can die alone, for nothing!
I hate you.
Because of this power, everyone despised me.
But you got all the attention.
Why was it always you?!
Because you only used your power for yourself.
But I am different.
I decided to use the power I was born with to help others.
Shut up.
Goodbye, my sister that I hate.
I don't even want to see your face again.
Why?
Integra's power cannot withstand this.
Ryuho!
Integra, I'll help you!
Why did you come, young man?
If you're caught in a fight between Golds, you'll die!
No...
You must not die here.
Because you had the resolve to die for Athena and the people of Earth,
I cannot let you die here.
Without those like you, who will protect Earth now?
I see.
Then come with me, young man.
No, Dragon Ryuho.
Right!
What?
Why?!
Ryuho!
Why?
Our face is the same, our blood is the same,
everything is the same...
Why would you pick her over me?
Why?!
She isn't the same as you.
She faced the same fate,
but she didn't run away, and faced it head on.
She doesn't just keep running away like you...
Running away?
Let's go, Ryuho!
Right!
Rise, my Cosmo.
Rise up, my Cosmo.
Rozan Syoryu Ha!
Did we get her?
Integra!
Why? Why?!
Why do you always take everything from me?
I will never forgive you...
Final Destination!
Final Destination is the last stop on the line.
Your journey ends here.
Stay strong, Ryuho.
But...
This is merely raging Cosmo, ruled by fury.
It is nothing to fear.
Silence.
It seems that seeing my sister again caused me to lose focus.
But thanks to you,
I have recovered it.
I can see the flow...
I will not resist...
But be like wind, like water...
Wow.
She deflected the technique's power?
Th-That can't be...
You beat my technique? Impossible!
This technique brings all fates to their conclusions...
No.
There is no fate that cannot be overcome!
Behold!
If fate exists only to bind humanity,
if that is the destiny the stars mean for us...
Then I shall destroy the stars themselves!
Listen to the melody of the shattering stars.
Galaxian Explosion!
Integra!
Someday, I'll take everything from you!
This is the plaza where I just was...
Are you hurt?
I'm fine.
Ryuho, thanks to you, I was able to win.
I thank you.
S-Sure.
Integra...
So this is the Gold Saint of Gemini?
