Just like switching channels
I was trying to escape from the reality before my eyes
Still not knowing the meaning of "freedom"
I'm held back by the rules that I cannot see
I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself
I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun
GO TO THE LIGHT
I want a burning passion within me that is greater than anyone's
And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere
GO TO THE LIGHT
I want to embrace a strength that can wipe away all frustrations
Over the many dawns
I n order to find out what it is to be me
Up on the tower?
Yes. Ernest noticed something strange written in your old book.
One passage struck me as odd.
"Atop the tower that pierces the sky resides the devil. "
The devil residing atop the tower. . .
That's right.
If this "devil" is the master that controls the Sorcery Globe. . .
We can surmise that he lives at the very top of the tower.
The master of the Sorcery Globe. . .
But that's only if what's written in the book is true.
But it'll be worth looking into.
I think so.
We don't have any other clues, after all.
What do you think, Claude?
Let's go.
Rena. . .
Yes.
You go to a safe place.
What?
The battle will get a lot tougher from here on in.
I can't take you with me.
Please take Rena to where Leon and the others are.
All right.
Come, Rena.
I . . .
I'm staying with you.
What?
Try to understand.
I am no legendary warrior.
I'm not sure I can protect you.
I don't care.
I won't be a burden to you.
So, please. . .
Rena. . .
It looks like it's decided.
All right.
Huh?
Let's go together.
Yes.
Ashton !
You've got to be kidding me!
Are you all right, Rena?
I'm okay!
Are you guys all right?
No worries.
Damn !
Dias!
Suzaku Shockwave!
Dias!
Don't worry about me!
Dias. . .
You're still afflicted by the monster's curse.
This is for Claude.
What's that?
Gene's feather.
Gene, the King of the Demons?!
Protective powers reside in this feather.
Place it on your sword.
Protective powers. . .
Dias. . .
You went all the way to see Gene to get this. . .
. . . in the physical state you're in?!
Now, go!
You have a job to do, Claude.
Thank you, Dias!
A-Amazing !
Go. I'll take care of things here.
We'll meet again.
Don't you cry.
Dias. . .
Let's go!
Hokoha!
I won't let you get away with ruining my Expel !
Something wrong?
Huh?
Uh, I'm fine. . .
What is this familiar feeling?
There's something that's stirring in me.
Watch it!
Kuhazan !
Claude!
Grab Rena and go!
Ashton !
That's right.
We'll take care of things here.
Celine. . .
Give me a chance to strut my stuff for a change.
All right.
Rena.
Be careful.
You too.
Celine!
We're doomed !
Why do you say that, Bro?
See something in the translation of that old book?
Look what it says here.
"The fate of all life rests upon the holy light. "
" If this ray of light can be guided properly. . .
. . . it shall be possible to destroy the evil. "
It's all over!
Uh, Bro. . . We don't quite understand.
What does that all mean?
You idiots!
The ray of holy light must be about the Lacour Hope!
Since it didn't destroy that Sorcery thing. . .
. . . it means that we didn't use it properly.
So that means this planet is going to be destroyed !
Do you understand?!
This planet's going to be. . .
. . . destroyed?
No way! That's not fair!
Don't cry! This isn't easy for any of us!
What are you going on about?
Yeah. What're you talking about?
What do you think?!
Our fate was decided when the Lacour Hope failed !
You idiots!
It's that attitude that hasn't gotten you far in life.
You have no confidence in anything you do.
You can't hold down a job and you're always broke.
You can't get a girlfriend and you're always single.
You don't have to be so harsh.
Why can't you guys be more positive about things?
That's easy to say, but. . .
It's true that the Lacour Hope couldn't destroy the enemy.
But we're still alive.
There are still things that we can try.
I'm sure Claude and the others are already inside the Sorcery Globe.
Claude is risking his life fighting, you know.
He's fighting as hard as he can to save this planet.
That's right. He hasn't lost hope.
Hope. . .
It's over if you give up.
Regardless of what's written in the old book.
The fight isn't over yet.
We haven't lost yet.
You guys. . .
Bro?
Then. . .
Then, what are we supposed to do?
Is there anything we can do?
We're repairing that spacecraft now.
You can help us.
I don't know what we could do.
Don't worry. I'm not good with machines either.
Same here.
You just have to do as you're told.
And we'll take care of the tricky bits.
There you go.
Hope, huh?
That's a nice word.
I never believed in that before.
Why am I so hot?
What is this sensation?
Claude?
Damn !
There must be a way. A way to get to the top.
A way?
But. . .
Kuhazan !
Come this way.
Stop! She's not the enemy!
This way. Please hurry.
That way. . .
Rena!
There.
A staircase.
Hokoha!
Energy Arrow!
That's a lot of power!
Well, of course!
How dare they scratch my smooth skin.
Doesn't look that serious.
Did you say something?
Oh, nothing. . .
Okay. Let's go crazy, Ashton.
Our job is to keep the enemy busy.
Absolutely.
Let's show them what we've got, Gyoro! Ururun !
Come on !
You're up against us!
A church?
Why would there be one in the Sorcery Globe?
Look at that!
Wh-What does this mean?
Rena. . .
Who is that?!
Rena. . .
We finally meet.
I've waited a long time for this day to come.
Although I never thought it would be under these circumstances.
Who are you?
I am from the planet Nede. The same as you, Rena.
The planet Nede?
Your pendant is proof that you are one of us.
I can't blame you for being shocked.
Expel has been your home for as long as you can remember.
But you are clearly one of us.
The people who control the Sorcery Globe.
Control the Sorcery Globe?!
Rena. . .
Stop fighting.
You must join us and protect the Sorcery Globe.
No way.
Come, my friend.
Rena!
Hang on, Rena!
Let go! Let go of me!
Rena. . .
It can't be true!
Everything they said is a lie, right?!
I'm not one of them.
I can't believe that the ones controlling the Sorcery Globe. . .
. . .the ones wanting to destroy Expel. . .
. . . are people from the planet I'm from.
Rena. . .
Please go.
What?
I'm no longer capable of helping you.
Rena!
If it's true. . .
. . .then I have no right to go.
I have no right to be with you. . .
. . .when you're trying to save this planet.
What're you talking about, Rena?!
I am the same as your enemy!
No.
Everyone is fighting.
We're all risking our lives fighting to protect this planet.
Those are your friends.
Oh, no!
Claude!
Claude. . .
I've lost strength in my left hand.
What're you doing?!
After all that time fixing it!
You were supposed to watch the engines, Leon ! What happened?!
That wasn't the problem ! We lost control !
You were in charge of that, Precis.
This isn't the time to be arguing !
No kidding !
No. . .
I don't have the strength.
Claude. . .
I . . .
But. . .
I want to help him.
I want to help Claude.
I want to protect the one I love.
Claude. . .
I met you because I was on this planet.
I don't want to lose this planet.
Even if I am one of the enemy.
M y heart resides in Expel.
M y friends and family are here.
Everyone's here.
It shouldn't matter where I was born.
This planet is my home.
So this is it, huh?
This is the final destination of your journey.
Um, who exactly are you?
Final destination?
Where are we?
Welcome to my castle.
HEART TO HEART
I want to turn the switch on to my soul and wipe away my tears
I can feel the wind blowing freely across my body
I'll take my LOVE and THANK YOU into the future
Who am I supposed to thank for the miracle of meeting you
I want to be proud of having someone so important
Everyone has things that they want to hide
We're not just live mannequins, after all
Reality is not a game
You can't cop out and reset it
I want to turn the switch on to my soul and be happy
I want to embrace kindness as many times as I kiss
Let's all cherish the dreams we have for this town
As yesterday came to nothing, the future is about to begin
However the days go, I will continue to live with my eyes wide open
I am not a savior.
But I've made it this far. . .
. . .thanks to the support of Rena and my friends.
It stirs me up when I think about all that they've sacrificed.
I feel a limitless power.
I will follow in the spirit of my father.
Gabriel !
This is the final battle!
On the final episode of Star Ocean EX. . .
. . . " Man of Valor".
One journey comes to an end.
And. . .
