01x05 - A Resolve Further Honed

[bunniefuu]

[determined groan]

[Percival] Let's turn your grandpa

back to normal!

- Together!

- [gasps]

[Nasiens] Percival

[roaring]

How can we turn him back to normal?

It seems impossible.

Nah, it's pretty simple.

Just crush the villain.

[Percival] Sin.

Now, Ordo, continue.

[roaring]

[whooshes]

[groaning]

[hissing]

- Huh?

- [all gasp]

An arrow? From where?

- [gasps]

- Hey, who shot it?

More importantly, look at that!

[low groaning]

[loud thud]

[gasps]

Ordo!

[Holy Knight] I was having so much fun.

- How dare you break my toy.

- [angry gasp]

[all gasp]

Who are you?

I am one of the Holy Knights

who serve the everlasting kingdom.

Known as the Amber Knight,

Talisker.

[theme music]

A RESOLVE FURTHER HONED

Now I see.

He's with Ironside too.

Turn Ordo back to normal this instant!

What has he done to deserve this madness?

[Talisker] Hmm

Very well.

I'll tell you if you're able

to land a single hit on me.

Furthermore, if by some miracle

you manage to defeat me,

I'll return Ordo to his normal self.

Don't fall for his cheap taunts

[Sin] Hey!

[Nasiens]

Enchant, henbane and belladonna.

[Talisker] Not only can you create

and spray poison,

you can enchant objects as well.

You're a magic wielder with two abilities,

"shifter" and "enchanter."

Okay, Nasiens, I'll also fight with you.

No, it's too dangerous.

Especially for someone

who doesn't have any magic.

Hm?

- [soft chuckle]

- [Nasiens] Ah

[heroic music]

[grunts]

[Percival] Huh? That's weird.

Come out! Come out! Please!

- [Percival farts]

- [Donny groans]

Well, thank you, Percival.

I appreciate the effort.

Huh? Uh, wait, no!

[Nasiens panting]

Hyah!

[rumbling]

[worried groan]

Look above you!

[panting]

Hail Impact!

HAIL IMPAC

[crashes]

[all gasping]

[groans]

b*stard.

He's pumping those guys with hail!

[suspenseful music]

[groaning]

[Percival sighs]

That was close, huh?

[exhales]

Thanks for the save.

I owe you another one.

- [loud thud]

- Huh?

[Talisker] Do it.

- [gasps, yelps]

- [thwacks]

Nasiens!

[groaning]

[whimpering]

[Talisker] Well done, Ordo.

Now, finish him.

[grunting]

[fierce grunt]

[snarls]

[Percival groaning]

Don't let him boss you around like this!

Look at Nasiens.

He was giving everything he had

to protect this gorge for you!

[groaning]

- [effort grunting]

- [creaking]

[Talisker] Deal with that

pesky brat already!

[gasps]

[Ordo mumbling]

[Ordo] Nasiens

Huh?

[Talisker] Oh, forget it!

If you won't obey,

I'll send you all to hell!

This is it, huh?

Oh, well.

[Talisker] Hail Impact!

[thunder rumbles]

[loud clattering]

[Percival panting]

[Percival grunting]

[loud clattering]

[clattering continues]

[fierce scream]

[fierce grunting]

[gasps]

[mumbles]

[grunting fiercely]

[fighting grunt]

[Percival grunting fiercely]

[panting]

[Percival grunts]

[thudding]

[breathing heavily]

[Talisker] He must be

completely out of his mind!

[whimpering]

[grunts]

Percival!

Why do something so reckless?

Listen, Nasiens.

I'm sure that your grandpa's

gonna turn back to his normal self.

So for now, you just have to trust me.

[gasps, groans]

[shuddering]

[low mumbling]

I trust you.

[Talisker] Enough of

your childish pretend friendships.

[chimes]

Huh?

What the hell is this?

- [blasts]

- [both yelp]

[suspenseful music]

[mini Percivals chittering]

[Talisker] In all my years,

I've never seen such amorphous magic.

[gasps]

I can't believe it.

You were terribly injured earlier,

and yet

Yeah. I'm totally fine now.

Has your magic become

even more powerful than before?

[Sin] His magic's a mystery to me.

I can't figure it out.

[Talisker] In that case,

I'll crush you so thoroughly,

you'll never recover!

It's showtime!

[zooms]

[clattering]

[crashing]

[Talisker] There,

the minced meat is all ready

Or not?

[munching, moans]

What the

He gobbled up every piece

of my Hail Impact?

[mumbling, spits]

[blabbering in fear]

[groaning]

[angry groan]

You damn annoying brat!

[Percival] As you said earlier

[Talisker] Hm?

After I land a hit against you,

you're gonna tell me everything.

And after that, I'll beat you

and make you turn Nasiens' grandpa

back to normal!

[Talisker] Don't you dare

take the piss out of me!

[Percival] Ew, gross. Keep it to yourself.

[fierce grunt]

[epic battle music]

[Talisker] Hm? Hyah!

[fierce grunting]

- [worried groaning]

- Percival!

[Talisker] Hyah!

[epic battle music]

Now, it's my turn.

[Talisker] I'll give you credit

for your defense,

but if you think you can land a hit on me

with your bare hands,

you're

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?

[groans]

[grunts]

[loud bang]

[Talisker groaning]

[both gasp shockingly]

There, I landed a hit.

Now talk!

Why did you do that to Nasiens' grandpa?

[Percival] He was kind enough

to provide medicine to fairies,

and he even welcomed a lost Giant

into his family like she were his own.

So tell me, why does he have to go

through all this suffering?

[Talisker] That

[struggled grunt]

[Talisker] was his sin.

Saving any race other than human beings,

he's simply unforgivable.

It goes against all we stand for.

Our lord Arthur desires a world

free from the constant threat

of other races taking over.

So that we humans can live in peace.

[Talisker inhales sharply]

Of course, I told Ordo as much

and I cautioned that

he was committing a serious crime.

I told him to stop his foolish actions,

ignore the other races,

and dedicate himself to our cause.

But that stubborn b*stard

refused to comply.

[gasps]

And that's why I chose to punish him!

To make him pay,

I turned him into a monster,

consumed and driven

by an impulse to destroy!

[roaring]

I warned him, "If you don't obey,

then I will destroy the gorge.

Or perhaps,

you prefer to destroy it yourself."

[roars]

So he sprayed the poison,

corrupting the gorge,

and drove away

all the other races in the process!

[Talisker grunts]

Satisfied?

You wanted to know the answer,

and now you do!

Ordo

No, I don't think any of this

is satisfying.

You honestly crushed Nasiens

and his grandpa's hearts

for such a petty reason?

[Talisker] Petty?

A twerp like you could never understand

our king's grand vision.

[angry groan]

[clangs]

[thunder rumbling]

[crackling]

Hey, I'm starting to think he can do

way more than making rain hail!

[Talisker] Behold, my magic

that commands the weather.

Calamity.

[crackling]

Riot Piercer!

[crackles]

[all groaning]

[crackling]

[explodes]

[Percival] So can you say you understand?

[Talisker] What?

Do you know how it feels

to lose your grandpa

and not know why?

[Talisker] This is incomprehensible.

He took my magic and

What on earth is he?

Huh?

[mage] One has verdant hair

that flaps out like the wings of a bird.

[Talisker] Can it be

that this green-haired boy

is one of the Four Knights

of the Apocalypse?

- [yelps]

- [blasts]

[Percival] Get back here!

[Talisker] What an opportunity!

If I eliminate this b*stard,

the prophecy foretelling

King Arthur's downfall

will be thwarted by my hands.

[thunderclap]

- Hey, listen to me, Percival!

- Huh?

It seems your magic is fueled

by your imagination.

Try to picture a weapon or something

and take that maniac out!

A weapon?

[excited exclaim]

But not a bow!

Aww

[crackling]

[Talisker] Perish under the weight

of my most powerful magic!

Time for you to die!

Calamity

Bird!

Huh?

[Percival] It's a roc!

Time to start prepping!

[effort grunting]

[loud shriek]

[Talisker blabbers]

There's no way!

- [grunts]

- [zaps]

[Talisker] This is too dangerous.

To think that there are four of them

[pained scream]

[loud blast]

[rumbling]

[all gasp shockingly]

[surprised gasp]

[thrilling music]

That was insane!

He blew away the Holy Knight

and a chunk of the hill along with him!

[Nasiens] Percival.

I I did it.

Yeah, kid, you beat him.

So you can put away your magic now.

Oh, right.

[sighs]

Hang on. Now it won't go away!

How do I turn this off?

[exasperated sigh]

I guess you've still got

a long way to go, kid.

[Dolores groans]

No way

[delighted gasp]

[Nasiens] Big sis!

Nasiens, I, uh

- [Donny gasps]

- Are Are you feeling all right now?

Uh Yeah.

A Giant zombie?

[Nasiens] What? You are so rude!

How dare you insult my sister like that!

Yeah, but I mean

when that poison was sprayed all over her,

- I thought she

- [Sin] Heavy Metal, right?

[all] Huh?

"Heavy" what now?

It's a magic that lets you turn your body

into metal for self-defense,

but only Giants are able to use it.

[Sin] So, as soon as she realized

that she was about to be attacked,

she acted on pure instinct

and activated Heavy Metal just in time.

Judging by the fact

that she could react so quickly,

I'd be willing to bet she's gone through

some intensive combat training.

I'm sorry about that.

You needn't have worried.

[chuckles]

I'm just glad you're safe.

But still

[Nasiens] Ordo

Huh?

[melancholy music]

[breathes shakily]

[Ordo] It's my greatest dream

to turn this gorge

into the finest medicine chest

Britannia has ever seen.

Also, I want to help those

who are suffering.

But more than anything else,

I want to heal Giants, fairies,

and other races.

[Nasiens crying]

[Nasiens] You loved this gorge

with all your heart.

That's why I wanted

to protect it with all of mine.

[melancholy music]

I I couldn't keep my promise.

I said I'd turn Nasiens' grandpa back

but I failed.

Found it.

Huh?

[Percival] What's that thing?

Just before you defeated him,

Talisker dropped it on the ground.

- [Sin grunts]

- [crashes]

[both gasp]

[low groaning]

[breathing lightly]

[both gasp surprisingly]

[all gasp]

[shocked gasping]

[shaky breath]

Or do

[soft breath]

Huh?

Nasiens.

[gasps, whimpers]

[gasps]

Mission accomplished.

[soft dramatic music]

Ordo!

[pants, grunts]

[breathes deeply]

[wailing]

[chuckles quietly]

[Nasiens] Ordo

[crying]

Ordo

[crying continues]

[Nasiens] I am

I am so glad you're alive.

[sniffles]

[soft chuckle]

[Nasiens] I thought

I was never gonna see you again.

[Nasiens sobbing]

Ordo

[Nasiens crying]

[Donny] Oh, man.

Seeing that cold fish rejoice

like a little girl was hilarious.

[Donny laughs]

I mean, what else could he do?

The Grandpa he loved

did come back to him after all.

Yeah, right.

So, uh, by the way,

what was up with that freaky staff

that transformed the old man

into a monster?

It was a Chaos Staff.

[Sin] It's one of the magic items

imbued with the power of chaos

that king of Camelot

bestowed upon his knights.

Why did he give out

dangerous things like that?

Who knows?

If you wanna find out,

you'll have to ask him yourself.

[Percival sighs]

I made up my mind.

[Sin and Donny] Huh?

[Percival] I thought

everything would be settled

once I found my dad and kicked his butt.

But after meeting Nasiens and the others,

then fighting against Talisker,

I've decided.

I'll kick

the king of Cammymott's butt too!

Because I know what that pain feels like.

And I don't want anyone else to suffer!

[shocked gasp]

Are you really saying that right now?

That's some nice resolve.

But it's "Camelot," you dummy.

[Percival] All right!

Anyway, let's make

our way to Liones first!

GROWL

Oh! Hey! Whatever happened

to that competition

we were having to see

who could catch the biggest prey?

I was actually gonna surprise you guys

with my big catch

of over ten mutilator rabbits!

Well, let's just call

the competition off for now.

That's 'cause you didn't catch anything.

[exclaims]

I'm the winner of the competition.

- What?

- Huh?

[both] When did you catch that?

[Sin] This is

an ultramarine mutilator rabbit.

It costs 20 times

more than the normal kind.

[both] That sly fox totally beat me!

According to the rule,

both of the losers

have to obey one command

from the winner, isn't that right?

[laughing sinfully]

I bet he's not gonna ask

for anything easy.

[Percival] Oh, should I pick your fleas?

I'll k*ll you.

[Nasiens] Hey!

- Huh?

- [Nasiens] Wait for me!

Hm.

Nasiens!

[Donny] Would you look at that?

[Nasiens panting]

Oh.

[panting]

Yo, Percival, maybe he ran all this way

to kiss you farewell, huh?

Do you need something?

[exhales]

[inhales]

If I may

I will come along with you as well.

What's up with that blank expression?

Wait, what did you just say?

But why is that?

[Nasiens] Because, Percival,

I'm indebted to you

for saving the gorge and Ordo.

[Percival] Don't worry about it.

I can't do that!

After all you've done,

I have to pay you back.

Yeah, but what about your grandpa

and everyone else?

It's okay.

Ordo wanted me

to learn more about the world.

You don't need to worry

about the gorge now.

I'll make sure to study

all of your potions

and make this forest more prosperous.

Right.

If you ever need help,

you can come back anytime.

Thanks a lot, big sis.

[soft chuckle]

Now, get going.

One of these days,

I'll be a greater herbalist than him.

[Nasiens clears throat]

But anyway, it's not like

I can let you leave on your own, can I?

After all, you are my very first

[nervous gulp]

[Donny] Is he about to confess his love?

[Nasiens] personal guinea pig.

What?

[loud bang]

[panting]

Still, you can't just suddenly say

you wanna come along with us.

- I mean, we

- [scoffs]

Why can't he join us?

Huh?

He knows a lot about poison and magic

that might prove useful for us

down the line.

Well, I'm totally against it!

The guy is full of doom and gloom.

What was the agreement?

You have to follow one command, right?

[Donny gasps]

[crying softly]

Come now, that's enough crying.

I mean, it was the first time

I've seen Nasiens look that way.

[Ordo] Yes.

It was quite the sight.

He finally met someone

that he could truly call a friend.

[uplifting music]

All righty.

Let's go together, Nasiens.

[Nasiens] Yeah.

[chiming]

[enticing music]

[closing theme music]

[cheerful music]

[Sin] We're heading

to the Kingdom of Liones.

But do either of you know a place nearby

we can arrange for transport?

You mean like a city?

I used to peddle goods with Ordo

in Sistana, north of here.

Mm. City!

Come on! Try not to get too excited,

you country bumpkin.

I'd appreciate it

if you didn't tease my guinea pig.

Huh?

- Ah, give me a break, you arrogant punk.

- [Percival] An actual city!

[Nasiens] I'm not arrogant.

I'm simply honest

and more proper than you.

[Donny] Like hell you are!

[Nasiens] What gives you the right

to speak to me like that anyway?

CITY OF SISTANA

[insects chirping]

[indistinct chatter]

[heavy footsteps approaching]

[Holy Knight] Greetings, Duke Kalden.

Thank you for inviting me

to the party this evening.

Well, I must thank you

for deciding to come.

[Kalden] Sir Ironside.

[tense music]

SISTANA SHAKEN
