02x04 - Dawn

[bunniefuu]

Mohi...

Angus...

Schen...

Joshua...

You g*dd*mn sphinxes!

Come on down here and fight!

We've got no more tricks
up our sleeve.

It's okay.

It'll all be okay.

That voice...

It's Lucien.

What's all this?
What's happening to the boy?

Wait, that's not the same boy.

He's changing.

Lucien is transforming into...

Dark Schneider!

b*stard!! -HEAVY METAL, DARK FANTASY-

HELL'S REQUIEM

Shut up, will you?

Agya!

DAWN

You guys were making such a ruckus
I couldn't sleep.

Good god, you're like a bunch
of screaming monkeys.

Now die!

Napalm Death!

He wiped them out?

All of them?

There aren't enough people
with magical powers enough to burn up

an entire herd of sphinxes in one blow.

Oh, boy, this is exciting!

In fact, there's only
one person in the world

with the power to do that.

It's like... some kind of miracle.

Could it... Could it be?

That... that magic...

It's gotta be him.

Lucien.

The great wizard of old.

Standing at the limit of darkness.

Ruling over death and destruction.

The power of his magic is infinite.

Agya!

- I knew you'd come back!
- Hey. Hello there.

- I knew it! I knew it!
- Okay.

- I just knew it!
- Hey, you've gotten bigger

since the last time I saw you,
haven't you?

That man, it has to be,
there's no doubt about it.

But wait. No.

Hmm. Like the first time,

that super-studly-goldenly-wonderful
galactically-gorgeous-ultra-badass

and dangerously-handsome

Dark Schneider is back
and better than ever!

Hah! Ta-da!

Oh, Yoko. Where are you?

Yoko, I love you!

Well, well.

Someone to be my royal bodyguard.

Finally!

Listen here, Dark Schneider,
you muscle-bound, mountain of manhood,

I am the king of A-Ian-Maide,

and I hereby order you to be my bodyguard

and protect me from all my enemies for...

Shut the hell up, you little freak!

How dare you try
to order me around.

Dark Schneider doesn't take orders
from you or anybody.

You got that, you little peasant?
You got that?

I'm the boss of the world.

If anyone's gonna give orders around here,
it's me!

And I wouldn't advise anyone
to disobey me.

Such wickedness.

He hasn't changed a bit.

Hmm?

There go the walls!

It can't be.
They've breached our defenses.

I've been waiting for this
for a long time.

Dark Schneider!

Have a taste of Yozanshi,
served Macapine style.

Yeah, and a little decapitation,
served Ba Thory style.

This timing, I gotta say, it's amazing!

Even a wizard can't dodge us both.

Take this!

Yozanshi Hundred Million Cuts!

Yeah, and take this!

Necrotic Arm Melting Worms!

- What?
- No!

Did he really deflect the attacks
of two Sorcerer Shoguns?

Yours I can understand.

But to deflect my Yozanshi attack?

You mean you assholes have been working
for Kall-Su all this time

and you didn't know?

Man, are you dumb?

I've got what you might call
a mean streak.

Like this Goa Cyclone for example.

No. No way.

You've left yourself wide open now!

expl*sive force, become a storm!

Vau wau! w*r god's flames!

Such incredible power.

He's even more powerful now
than when I faced him 17 years ago.

Now, what do you know?

You two actually survived?

This is gonna be more fun than I thought.

Well, come on then!

Get up already and let's keep playing!

So you wanna play?

Let's play a game or I crush you to death!

Mighty Repulsive Force Maned Worms!

No!

Why don't we just put a pin
in that threat?

Spears' of stone!

Ba Thory!

This isn't over yet.

What in the...

Watch out!

I know what you're thinking.

How could such a badass like me
be so incredibly handsome?

Such strength.

So that's the legendary wizard,
Dark Schneider.

Hold on, who the hell is that?

They call him Dark Schneider.

Lucien...

Hmph. Impressive.

But after all is said and done,
you're still just a wizard.

And there isn't a wizard alive
who can escape my Galient Sword.

Dark Schneider.

This sword counteracts magic.

It can dispel any kind of magical defense.

And without any
of your precious magic barriers

to hide behind, you'll be naked.

Totally exposed.

And you'd like to see me naked,
wouldn't you?

Sorry, but I don't know you well enough.

Hmm?

Hey, watch your back!

'Cause Macapine's famous
for fighting dirty!

Shut up, you fool!

What you call fighting dirty
is what I call fighting to win.

And that's why a Sorcerer Shogun
will always beat a samurai in the end.

Because we know
that winning is everything.

We won't let our hands be tied

by such things as honor,
loyalty, and fairness.

What are you doing?

We don't mind
bending the rules a little,

because winning is the only rule there is.

Well, go on, Dark Schneider.

Why don't you use
one of those spells of yours?

Secret Snake Bite Slash!

Lucien!

What?

He used the other guy as a shield.

I'm as cruel as I am strong.

Oh, my goodness.

Plus, I'm so good-looking,
I can have any woman I want.

Even her.

Doing that even to an enemy...

That's kinda dirty.

Oh, man!

Go on, you spineless little maggot.

Tell me what you really think of me.

I'm despicable, right?

What did he call me?

Not only strong and ultra good-looking

but cruel and downright despicable.

That's Dark Schneider!

That's me, what can I say?

You're not doing a very good job
of selling yourself.

So then, you still wanna fight?

Are you sure?

I ask you to trust your servant,
Macapine Toni Strauss.

Leave it to me, sire.

It was I who volunteered for this.

Failure is not an option.

If I fail and survive,
Lord Kall-Su will punish me

for having betrayed his trust.

I believe in Lord Kall-Su.

It's for that reason
that I chose to harden my heart.

I've used fear to overwhelm
all those who resist me.

What do I care
if they think I'm a cold-hearted demon?

Everything I've done,

I've done to make Lord Kall-Su's vision
come true.

Are you just gonna stand there?

You say it's all about winning

but you can't win unless you fight,
can you?

Oh, come on, man.
Let's wrap this thing up.

I can't wait to show your master
what an idiot he was

to think he can send
a second-rate pretty boy like you

to take on the all-powerful,
all-beautiful, Dark Schneider.

You know I'm actually offended

that he ever thought
you were a match for me!

By the triangle of power,

by the moon's luminous ring,
marring spirits of light and dark,

bring forth the dragon king!

By altar or by throne,
all the laws of man disown!

Oh, no. What are you doing?

Stop squealing,

I haven't even gotten
to the best part yet.

Oh, great Dimaggio,
your mythic pyre will burn, burn, burn

with the gold dragon's fire!

It's a...

It's a...

A dragon.

Are you kidding me?

How'd he do that?

Lucien's magic.

Okay, go on.

Now, Spirit World!

Man of...

w*r!

Lord Kall-Su, how could
a human use such a powerful spell?

Look, the sky,
the clouds have disappeared.

The storm barrier, it's gone.

Hey, what's going on?

Why the hell is everyone standing around

looking like their favorite puppy
just died?

Or is it just that you all
are speechless with gratitude

for the return of the handsome hero?

Wouldn't blame you if you were.

Anyway, that was a nice little nap.

Smell that fresh air?

What a beautiful morning.

Yoko.

Boing.

Does this mean what I think it means?

Really? You wanna...

You're ready?

You and me?

You idiot!

You are so late! What kept you?

What were you doing
for the last two years?

You're late, late, late! So late!

Most of the new characters introduced
in the second season are already dead!

You don't deserve to become
the main character of this show.

What are you getting mad at me for?

I don't care which characters die
as long as you're not one of them. Ouchie.

You're really pissing me off!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Okay, I'll shut up now.
Just don't hit me again.

You're going to fix this, right now.

If as many characters are dead as you say,

that's not gonna be an easy job.

Besides, if I start going around
bringing everybody back to life,

it's kinda like cheating

and undermines dramatic integrity
of the whole show.

Please.

You're our last and only hope.

We need you.

And I won't get mad at you anymore.

I promise, okay?

You got it.

Yay!

Oh, this is bad.

I've got to warn Lord Kall-Su.

Just you wait, Dark Schneider.

You haven't seen the last of Ba Thory
I can tell you that for...

So I hear you've got regenerating worms
living inside your gut, is that right?

Yeah.

This should be about enough
to bring everyone back.

Hey, how could you do that?

You're not really that heartless, are you?

Kicking a defenseless enemy
when he's down.

I thought that hero was supposed
to be better than that.

You're not really gonna leave me
lie down here like this,

are you, Dark Schneider?

No, I'm gonna take a few more to be safe.

After all, you're not gonna
need them anymore.

Hey, stop squirming!

Whoa. You got a bunch of them in here!

- Huh?
- Hmm?

I was heading toward the light,
where'd it go?

Schen, Mohi, Angus!

You're alive!

I'm so glad to see everyone again!

Joshua!

Kai? You're okay. Thank goodness.

Ah...

Uh, you might wanna put something on.

Oh. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for so many things.

You must be so happy, Sean.

He's still alive.

Of course, personally,
I don't really care one way or the other.

Oh.

Now hear this!

All you guys
should feel incredibly honored,

because I am hereby promoting you
from third-rate foot soldiers

to being my personal servants.

And one more thing.

This lady and I have an understanding.

And the understanding is that

if any of you guys even thinks
of going near her,

I'll rip your guts out, you got that?

You're awfully full of yourself,
aren't you?

- Hmm.
- When I was in that fight with Abigail,

you promised you'd let me
take your virginity.

You promised him what?

No way. It wasn't like that.

- You gave your word.
- I, I...

Shut up! No, I didn't!
You must have heard me wrong!

Yoko, is this true?

- Who is that man?
- No!

- Hmm.
- Of course not! It's...

I... I... Misunderstanding!

Come on, Yoko. Let's do it.

Let's do it right here. Come on.

What are you doing?
Put your clothes back on!

Huh. So that's him.

Dark Schneider.

He's not human.

You dirty b*stard!

I swear I'm gonna make you pay.

Just wait. You are so gonna...

Oh, I thought it might be
something interesting

falling out in the sky this time.

But it's just another human.

Hey, come on. You're alive, aren't you?

Shake it off.

The exact same thing happened to me,
don't take it so hard.

Two years ago,
I got dropped out of the sky

into the middle of nowhere.

And you know, I've got a pretty good idea
who I can thank for it.

Anyway, there I was
in a strange far off land.

It was hard.

I had to cross the ocean, cross deserts,

and I got dragged into a crazy adventure
along the way too.

I mean, two whole years
to make it to Grave Valley.

Sorry to hear that.

I'll make it up to you someday.

I really will, I swear!

Huh. I'm assuming
they used magic on you, right?

Oh, man, they really kicked your a*s
whoever it was.

But who the hell did it to you, anyway?

Dark Schneider.

Dark Schneider?

Well, well, well.

What do you know, didn't see that coming.

If that's not an unexpected kick
in the past, I don't know what is.

I've got to get my revenge,
no matter what.

Oh, well, I'm not gonna stand in your way.

You go right ahead.

Master Gara, what is it?
What happened?

Here. Find this man a bed
and treat his wounds.

- Yes, sir.
- Right away, sir.

I know the wonders never cease.

So he's still alive, huh?

Huh. That guy's just
too damn stubborn to die.
