01x20 - Wearing His Pride

[bunniefuu]

Raffles saw at once that the unsullied

flame was a gift from the great soul.

He resolved to harness its power with technology and created amaterasu.

By the light of Amaterasu sacred flame, the people began to rebuild.

With its power, they established a new state in the Far East.

Looks like an old subway station.

That was powerful. It b*rned through my coat instantly.

Where's the sh**t? I haven't heard a

sound. But somewhere in the dark.

The young man with the adolla burst.

The flame meant to exterminate mankind. He doesn't belong with you.

I'd like to thank you for bringing

him to us. You saved us some trouble.

What do you intend to do with Shinra? Tell me your objective.

Mayday, mayday, mayday. Pakistan one. We've lost one inch.

Take what you got and leave now. You're wearing out your welcome.

No one here wants to see you cheer.

Cause you know just why you want to.

Yep. Try to save yourself like you.

In May.

Leaked. Where are you? I'm completely cut off from the others.

And the enemy could appear at any second.

I'm stays on his toes, man.

Hold it. You okay? Leaked. Don't move

a muscle. To be honest, Gina, I.

I've been better. You're the one with the adolla burst, right?

If you value this man's life, you'll do as I tell you.

Hurry, Shinra. Use the rapid. You know,

the tiger hand sign. Be quiet.

That's some pretty impressive speed. The rabbit, you said.

That's even cooler than kicker man kick.

Hahaha. With my rapid man kick, I can't be b*at.

I think Captain Sheneman is going to sh**t that down too.

Why do you keep throwing man into everything?

One word. Shinra. Banshou. It means all of nature

and well, since the bond can also be pronounced as man.

There's me, my little brother, and then man..

Right smack between us. When we bond together, we're shinra Banshou.

That's why I'm says man, allotment..

Makes perfect sense. You should explain it to Shinmun

like that. I'm sure it'll go great.

That sounds like Lieutenant Noah. We should go.

The others are fighting the White-clad, too.

The more g*ons we b*at, the less they'll have to.

It seems my position has been compromised.

sn*pers using the darkness as cover between

att*cks and their fire is too bright to trace back to them.

I used a ricochet control the pepper,

a wide area, but there's no sign I made contact.

Can't get a clean sh*t with all

these obstructions. I should close in.

At any rate, the enemy knows where I am. I need to move.

No cover in here. I need to get through as fast as I can.

The moment he gives us an open.

Will att*ck Heath fighting era, remember? I doubt

that we'll get the chance to do anything.

We're both using ranged weapons, but since I have my ricochet control,

I should have the advantage up close.

Did you come in here to try and escape from my arrows?

How ironic. All you did was trap yourself.

Break. The dam. Oh.

I stumbled into your hunting ground.

That's right. And I never let my prey escape.

I will be taking the adolla burst as well.

Your brainwashed zealots who can't see the value

of a human life. Shinra would never help you.

This scorched world is in a constant state of flux.

It's on the cusp of a great upheaval as we speak.

And in the wake of it all,

our feelings will amount to nothing.

Those who insist that their existence has

meaning are fools who can't conform themselves to this world.

You say Shinra would never help us.

As if he has a choice. But his feelings don't matter.

The evangelist requires that young man's adolla

burst. So we will take it.

When you look at yourself as a member of a group,

your feelings as an individual lose importance.

When that group's the size of a country

or the world, that gets truer

at any second, Those you care for

could burst into flames right in front of you.

So it's probably for the best if you'll

forgo all attachments and fulfill your dispassionate

role as an insignificant cog in the machine

of our society, one that feels nothing.

There are many people, including me, who think that way.

It's certainly an easier way to live.

Emotions can be downright exhausting..

If that's how you see things. Why fight?

First you tell me my soldier's feelings don't matter.

Then you expect me to hand him over? What do you take me for?

Philosophy aside, you spit fuel in my face.

You'd better expect me to get fired up.

Now, that's a spectacle.

It makes a devastating roar.

And a devastating shock. Wave two. I don't get it.

What the hell is he f*ring?

These are just standard . by millimeter b*ll*ts,

but with all my power behind them.

They move so fast that I don't need to score a hit.

The sonic boom will do plenty of damage.

He destroys another g*n barrel every time he pulls that trigger.

He makes that g*n sh**t like a cannon.

I wonder if Arrow's all right.

I was looking.. For an opportunity to finish him,

but that would be like stepping into a sh**t

out between a pair of tanks.

My strength is spent. Visions fading fast.

It feels like my eyelids are melting.

I can feel my consciousness drifting away.

Through the dust and darkness of this underground hell.

All that I can make out is the smell of gunpowder.

What's become of. The other sh**t.

When people can burst into flames at random

and lose their lives in an instant.

Becoming indifferent about your own life. Here's

a way of devoting yourself to the world.

My death won't change a thing.

Damn you, hubby. Making me a lieutenant when the eighth

is barely even big enough to call a company.

I'd feel guilty leaving you to run things on your own.

If I die down here, then who's gonna teach our rookies discipline?

Noah. Why you couldn't finish me off.

It's because your first sh*t hit the wrong shoulder.

I won't go down while I wear the emblem of Company eight.

I'll use her flames. To make it go even faster.

That took a lot out of me.

Dad, I'll be able to move for a while.

It's funny. I thought that push past

your limit stuff was just a fantasy for gullible kids.

You're the ones behind the fog in the shimmers.

Guess you finally think you. Me, you cowards.

Striking the enemy when they're at their weakest is Tactics .

Aero was best suited to wear you down.

So how does it feel to know

that you'll soon die at this coward's hand?

I doubt you have the strength to offer any resistance.

Let me put you to rest.

You would have done me in with that.

A shame. It was only a shimmer. Now die.

That was surprisingly powerful for a last ditch effort.

Not that it matters when you miss.

You know, I hit my mark.

Though I am descended from the heavens,

I was born from the earth below.

I transversed the land and sky. Mm hm. I'm a knight.

I saw Arthur watching us through a tiny cr*ck in the ceiling,

signaled him to come on down.

So you're the pure soul who..

Summoned this heavenly champion down to earth.

What do you need? Have a quest for me.

Do I really have to explain the situation?

You're good. His face was covered then,

but I fought the shimmer guy at Vulcan's.

Why don't you handle this mirage? Not a problem.

This one's more vulnerable to my shimmers than most.

Kind of a one trick pony, aren't you?

This one trick has been the end of every foe I've met.

That att*ck was fake. It didn't have

the breath of life in it.

Let that stress heighten your awareness. Feel life around you,

not just your allies, but your enemies

to focus on the lives at stake.

And you can use the stress of the battle as a tool.

Good. Don't let yourself fall prey to diversions for feints.

You have to discern the att*ck that's coming to take your life.

Focus. Harness the tension you're feeling. Sense the life around you.

Now that I've gained the wisdom of the samurai Multi-classing..

As a knight samurai.

Hold up.

Let me think this through. If I were a knight samurai,

I'd be mostly a samurai. Right? That doesn't make sense.

Oh, I had it backwards. I'm really a samurai knight.

Your eyes are great at tracking small

movements that can help you or become a distraction.

Be wary of deceptions and feints.

There's more out there than what the eye can see.

Maybe he's just pretending. He can see through my illusions,

trusting I'd probe with my shimmers before attacking.

In that case, with this larger number attacking en masse,

he'll have to assume the real me is.

But in truth, all of them are fake.

A real att*ck. The kind that's intended

to take your life always comes with a distinct breath.

You need to listen for that breath of life.

Like the one I just took.

An att*ck with the intent to k*ll

will come with a breath. The breath of life.

I refuse to.. Get anywhere

near you until you let one of my shimmers distract..

You. And give me an opening.

The instant I see that opening, my blade

will leap from the shadows and pierce your throat. But first.

The breath.. Of life. The caliber.

What was that for? Were you trying

to k*ll me just because you heard me breathing?

I'm a samurai knight. My blade knows its enemies.

No. How did you.

I heard his breath.

While he thought I was distracted, he tried

to sneak up and s*ab you.

That villain is a knave to his core. Can you stand?

Impressive work, Arthur.

Where the other one go? Think he ditched his pal and ran off?

What was up with that one's face? Think he's human?

Huh? The man's face was somewhat mask like,

but what would he be if not a human? Huh?

We need to rejoin the others. Great. Lead the way.

So it goes.

Looks like the tunnel forks off again.

This sucks. Why is the nether confusing and scary?

Have any ideas about which way we should try?

There's something glowing on the left.

And they're coming toward us. They're pulling us.

Who are you? An oversized turtles roll.

We never said that. We swear. Oh, hey. It's you, monkey.

So those demonic eyes were just..

Sputter and flare. Lucky. It's super scary down here.

You're there. You'll be safe with me.

Two life signs just showed up out of nowhere at m away.

We should be able to see them. Are they on our side?

You will never see a person who is on your side again.

Oh, hey, Lisa. So you finally gave

up and put on the uniform you despised.

You look like a fool in it, Vulcan. You know that, right?

And you look great in whatever you wear.

You've always hated the fire force more than anything.

So what would make you follow them underground?

How is that a question? I obviously

came down here to see you, Lisa.

What's the matter? Feeler. Are you forgetting

who it was that gave you a home?

Who accepted a filthy, ignorant cat like

you and taught you everything you know?

Who showed you how to manipulate fire, how to manipulate men?

You only gain Vulcan's affection by using the techniques I taught you.

He only took you in because you followed my teachings.

Without me, you are nothing. Nothing but a stupid, dirty cat.

Understand? Or do you need another lesson?

Get the hell away from her.

You should know my true name is Fehler

and that I am a knight of the ashen flame.

That's right. Protect me with your life. Yes, sir.

He's lying to you. Damn it. Shut up.

The Iron Armadillo.

Something tells me that your lessons did Lisa more harm than good.

But regardless, teaching the youth is just what grown ups do.

So stop pretending she owes you, you geezer.

Come to think of it, you're quite

ignorant too. Feckless captain of the eighth.

You can call me what you want.

You don't even know what the flames of human combustion are.

But our evangelist knows everything.

Why? The spontaneous

human combustion phenomenon is assaulting our world.

The true nature of the bugs that have created artificial infernals.

The secret behind Shinra Kusakabe's Adolla burst.

Why? His fire is known to us as the flame of perdition.

What happened to this world in the past

and what is happening to it as we speak?

The evangelist knows all this and more.

But I will not share that knowledge.

It sounds like you really are a lousy teacher.

You're an intriguing man.
