02x06 - Departure

[bunniefuu]

The rebel forces are scattered
across the Central Metallion Continent.

Nevertheless, it seems
they still continue to resist us.

Dispatch our demi-human allies

to attack the autonomous merchant cities
and their satellite villages

and root out this rebel scum.

Yes, sir!

But they must do this
without the help of any Sorcerer Shogun.

What? Why is that?

Because I have
a very different mission for all of you.

Now then...

I'm sending you
to the fallen city of the elves.

King Crimson Glory.

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

HELL'S REQUIEM

DEPARTURE

Please! No! Mercy, mercy!

No! Have mercy!

- I just love it when they squeal.
- Any volunteers?

Father!

Daddy!

That little boy and his sister are next.

How about we feed this kid to the hydra?

Save me, sister!

No, please. Let him go!

Whoa, there.

We're gonna have some fun
before we feed you to the hydra too.

Those damn orcs...

Is that the only thing
those guys ever think about?

Give me a break.

They're like a bunch of animals.

At this rate, they're gonna skewer
every one of our prisoners.

People say us hobgoblins are bad,

but compared to those monsters,
we're downright honorable.

Speaking of which,
look at my honorable collection of heads.

Not bad, huh?

Whoa, I guess somebody around here
has been busy.

Ah, that's nothing.

Take a look at this.

Now, this is a collection.

You just picked those up off the ground.

Where do you think you're going?

- We're just getting started!
- Help me!

Somebody, please! Ah!

What's that?

That was like somebody dragging
something big along the ground.

Huh?

Huh?

What the hell?

Who or what are you
supposed to be?

Well, handsome for one thing.

Say what?

Here, catch!

Oh, jeez!

So many heads!

What are you all standing around for?

Don't tell me that you orcs
are actually sorry

that I crushed
that ugly friend of yours's skull.

As a matter of fact, we are.

And you're gonna be sorry you did it.

Hey, wait a minute.

Am I wrong or is this guy all alone?

You're right.

This guy's on his own.

He's got no army, no backup, no nothing.

You fool!

You really gonna take all of us on
all by yourself?

What are you, some kind of lunatic?

Or just an idiot?

Kaizard, alzard.

Kiske, hansen, grosskopf, sielck...

Sister! Sister!

Turn to ash. Wisemen of Hades, all...

Hold fast the seven keys...

Swing wide the gate of hell!

Now, die! Helloween!

Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!

What happened to my army?

The great army bestowed on me
by Lord Kall-Su himself...

It's... it's... gone.

All right, you samurai.

I'm gonna let you finish
mopping up anyone who's left.

Man, what an as*h*le.

Don't worry. It's all right now.

Thank you for coming to our rescue.

Okay, Yoko!

I did just like you wanted.

So, come on now.
Pucker up and give me my reward.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

Turn around and stop staring.

Without the chain of command,
they fall apart pretty quickly.

Orcs and goblins
have no concept of loyalty.

Seems he already won this battle.

He did.

But I still can't believe he wiped out
half an army in the blink of an eye.

Just glad he's not on our enemy's side.

Sure.

Not that we can really be sure
he's on our side either.

- Okay? Just a little one.
- No way! Grow up!

The army sent by Kall-Su
to attack the autonomous cities

is made up entirely of demi-humans.

We haven't seen any sign
of a Sorcerer Shogun being among them.

Really?

That's odd...

with an expedition of that size,

you think Kall-Su would put
a Sorcerer Shogun in charge.

It doesn't make sense.

We agree with you.

We're questioning
the prisoners about it now.

I wonder... you don't think they found out
the truth about Lucien, do you?

Of course not. Impossible.

Let's just forget about it.

It was a long time ago.

Hell, it's not like I'm gonna hold
a grudge for 17 years.

If I was still mad,
I would have k*lled you by now.

You, Geo, that old lady,
the whole lot of you.

"Let bygones be bygones,"
that's what I'd say.

Yeah, I guess
you're just lucky that the Dark Schneider

is not only beautiful,
intelligent, and powerful,

but also incredibly generous and merciful.

Agya!

Anyway, you look so old and creaky.

I feel sorry for you.

Hmm. He's a lot different
than he used to be.

Hey!

Quit being so loud.

We're trying to have a council of w*r.

Huh?

Yay, Yoko!

Yoko!

- What?
- Hey!

Get off of her!

Try that again
and I'm gonna punch you for real.

That... that wasn't for real?

Whoa.

"Whoa" is right.

Yoko sure has changed.

It's like the tension's gone from her now.

Like she's been released from a curse.

That always happens to girls
as they grow up

and stop being children.

Yeah, I've noticed that.

Why do you always
have to do things like that?

Hey! Look at me when I'm talking.

I would but you're too scary.

Dark Schneider...

WOMAN IN SHOWER!

It's exhausting just being
around that idiot.

Even since Lucien changed,
I've had to be on my guard every second.

Mm.

Who's there?

Vai, is that you again?

Vai?

Go! Get out of here!

Wow! You look beautiful, Yoko!

We're both so beautiful.

No! Wait!

Stop it!

Don't!

A-ha!

You're finally ready to accept my love.

I can see it.

No, I'm not!

I love you.

You don't mean that. Not really.

Now, you just stay right there
where you are and...

Stop, don't come any closer.

CENSORED

Yoko.

No, stay back.

Lucien, that's enough.

I swear, I'll use it.

I'm totally serious.

To have you, I'd give a billion lives.

Lu... Lucien...

Yoko.

My love.

Lucien...

I...

I...

No...

No!

Listen, I have to suck
the poison out of you.

Make sure you grow up into good women.

Otherwise, I'll be back.

Hmph. Get a grip.

What is wrong with you?

You're supposed to be the one
that swore off man, aren't you?

Especially a man like him.

Can't do it. Sorry.

I have to protect him, Kai.

Even if that means
I'm opposing Empress Nei

and betraying you.

Men, they're so...

- Deep in thought?
- Ah...

Mm.

You surprised me, Joshua.

Who did you think it was?

Hmph.

You've recovered well
from all your injuries, I hope?

Yeah. I'm doing well.

Everyone is.

My body even feels lighter somehow.

I still can't believe it.

The way he can turn a bug wielder's
own power against him.

That fellow never ceases to astonish me.

To think that Lucien
is Dark Schneider,

the legendary wizard
who fought against Lord Mifune

and the great hero Prince Lars
in the w*r 17 years ago.

His magic can destroy an entire army.

There's no one in the world
with the power to make him bend the knee.

He's completely different from you and me.

And the way he thinks,
the way he lives, and the way he fights.

He's not bound by the rules
and traditions which bind us,

as knights and samurai.

In a way, he's like Macapine
and the other Sorcerer Shoguns.

He's free to use any means
and do anything it takes to win.

I do envy that freedom.

Okay, but don't forget,
even Sorcerer Shoguns are bound by fate.

Hmph.

Besides, that lunatic...

He lacks even the most basic sense
of justice, fairness, or morality.

The only thing he cares about
is satisfying his own desires.

That's not us.

There's nothing about him we should envy.

You're right.

You bet I am.

You'd bring a Sorcerer General
into the samurai residence?

Forget it.

The Three Sorcerer Generals
are the ones leading the Dark Rebel Army.

They are the enemy.

But one of them isn't. Not anymore.

The one who left them

and fought on our side against them
back in Meta-llicana.

Her magic is powerful.

You can't say she wouldn't be
a big help to us.

But, uh...

Never mind, Yoko.

It's fine with me
if you samurai don't want my services.

I only came because Yoko asked me to.

If you don't want me, I'll go.

But... Wait a minute.

Tell me your name, at least.

I'm Kai Harn.

You know, you always surprise me
as well, Kai.

Huh?

My god, the way you look tonight.

What is it?

Nothing.

It's a lovely evening.

Whoa, that was close.

I almost gave in.

Maybe... if you were just a little more...

Yeah. Maybe then...

We've double-checked
the drive systems

and armaments, Lord Yngwie.

They are all good.

We are ready to leave at sunrise tomorrow.

I don't want to wait.

We're leaving right now.

Leaving right now, sir?

Lord Kall-Su's orders are clear.

The other Sorcerer Shoguns
are already preparing to take off.

- I will not be the last.
- Sir.

The seal is about to be broken.

And Anthrasax, the God of Destruction,
will reawaken.

Good. Everyone's asleep
and the coast is clear.

Oh, the way Yoko looked...

Tonight, she has to give in.

I'll sneak into her room and surprise her.

Yoko! Yoko, I'm coming!

Tonight's the night.

This is the night our love
is finally consummated

with the cherry on top.

It's that dream again.

The same dream I kept having

when I was being treated
at the Temple of Cant.

Wait. Stop what you are doing.

Wait, please.

No, please!

Who is this man?

Wow. So it really feels
as good as that, huh?

Well, just you wait.

It only gets better as it goes along.

No...

What's wrong with me?

I... I can't resist.

My body feels so hot.

I thought I would stop him.

What the hell
do you think you're doing?

Ah, damn it. It's just you.

I must've got turned around.

I thought this was Yoko's room.

Well, any port in a storm.

Now you just lie there
and let me do the rest.

Hey, that reminds me.

I think you owe me a favor, little lady.

Two favors.

If you wanna try and stab me, go ahead.

We never did finish our duel, did we?

But before you do that, you owe me.

You gotta pay me back, right?

I mean, it's only fair.

So how do I pay you back?

Hmph.

You know what I want.

We're gonna have
a naked sumo wrestling match.

Winner takes all.

No!

Stop.

Yoko's going to hear us.

You dirty, two-timing sleazebag!

Huh?

Yo... Yoko?

I should have known you were full of it.

What was it you said?

"To have you, I'd give a billion lives."

You're right. Yeah.

Sorry!

What the hell is going on?

Who knows, but man, is he loud?

I heard noises so I thought I'd come in
and see what was wrong.

And I caught you in here
about to do something with Kai, didn't I?

Uh... I... That's Kai's bedroom, isn't it?

Wait.

Okay, what the hell is going on?

First Yoko and now Kai?

I'm gonna k*ll you!

Whoa. This is bad.

We should do something before someone...

Huh? Wait! Not that.

He is fast.

At least, when he's running away.

But then I guess,
he's fast in other ways too.

Huh, Kai?

Wait, Yoko.

It... it's not what you think.

It... it wasn't...

You've got to be more careful.

Yeah, you're right.

I mean you're beautiful, right?

You know you could have
any man around here if you wanted.

Huh?

Men, they're all the same.

They tell you that you're so special,

but all they really care about
is getting with a woman, any woman.

If you're fool enough
to give them what they want,

they move on to the next one.

They're disgusting.

Mm.

Yeah. I agree.

So ten against one, huh?

- Is that the samurai way?
- Shut up, you!

Joshua, no!

Stop it! Stop!

Altitude and azimuth confirmed.

Internal pressure is stable.

All units are on course.

Lord Yngwie, we detected an area
of strong winds up ahead.

And we've spotted thunderclouds.

- Shall we go around, sir?
- No.

This mission is vital.

Lord Kall-Su has dispatched
his entire fleet of airships

and every Sorcerer Shogun.

It is imperative that we get there
as quickly as possible.

The Eyes of the World
will lead us safely to that place

where the last seal awaits us.

We've received a signal
from Yngwie's ship.

All units to maintain course.

Hmm...

Just don't let Yngwie get ahead of us.

Straight through that storm!

Hold your course!

Aye, aye!

Let's see
how their famous samurai way fares

when it comes up against reality.

Those samurai thought they had it tough

when all they had to deal with
was a bunch of lousy demi-humans.

No one, not even Dark Schneider
has a chance of stopping us now.

There's no flying man wizard
or creature alive

that can beat a well-equipped airship
in a long-distance flight

because we never need to rest.

Once awakened, Anthrasax,
the God of Destruction,

will purify the world.

And we know the last seal lies

within the body
of Sheila Tuel Meta-llicana,

princess of the former Kingdom
of Meta-llicana.

We will have that seal,

even if we have
to cut her open and get it.

We are going to a place
no human has ever seen

or even knows the whereabouts of.

A legendary place,

the fallen city of the elves,
King Crimson Glory.
