SEVENTEEN YEARS AGO
[Gara] I've got a report from one of the guards.
The prince of Meta-llicana is on his way to our location.
Lars Ul Meta-llicana.
And he's traveling with only five people in his party.
[Gara] Is he delusional?
I don't think that guy is taking us seriously.
That's not necessarily true.
The rumors say
that Prince Lars Ul Meta-llicana is fearless.
[Abigail] He's the one who found and awakened
the legendary Dragon Warrior.
Oh, really?
Is your information accurate?
It is correct.
The Dragon Warrior,
the legendary mechanical god who defeated Anthrasax,
the God of Destruction, 400 years ago.
[Abigail] The Dragon Warrior who surpasses even the gods.
And we are about to face off against it.
All right, I think we get it. I say we all go home...
[Dark Schneider] What are you talking about?
Slow down.
It's not every day you get to meet an opponent like the Dragon Warrior.
But you know,
whether it's the Dragon Warrior or something else,
I'm gonna unleash my golem army to destroy them for good.
I'm going to make them regret the day
that they ever tried to oppose us in the first place.
Don't worry about it, Dark Schneider.
Whatever happens, just know that I shall protect you with my life.
Hang on.
If anyone's protecting Darsh, it's me.
In any case,
if we're actually going to fight against the Dragon Warrior,
then we must carefully prepare a battle plan first.
I've been ready to fight since I woke up, so...
[Gara] Let's do it already.
Dark Schneider,
if you're able to win this fight, then the world will belong to you.
[Kall-Su] And your lost other half...
I'm sure of it.
[wind gusting]
Die, monster!
Ready...
Majin Flash Cut!
[Ice Dragon screaming painfully]
[Dark Schneider] Kall-Su.
[loud rumbling]
[Dark Schneider] Kall-Su!
BASTARD!! -HEAVY METAL, DARK FANTASY-
[water splashing]
He really did it!
He actually killed a god.
GATHERING
Dark Schneider's Four Divine Kings.
They're so powerful.
Is... is Lord Kall-Su...
Is Lord Kall-Su safe now?
Maybe, but we've got to go help him to be sure.
Not yet.
The Ice Dragon isn't dead yet.
True.
Ninja Master Gara only destroyed its exoskeleton.
[Ice Dragon crackling]
Here it comes.
[crackling]
[shatters]
Oh, no. What's that?
[squelches]
[Yoko] It's the monster's true form!
[all gasp]
[angry grunting]
You humans!
- [gasps] - [Nei] Mm.
I'll never forgive you!
[Anthrasax's cell] I'll never forgive you!
Is it regenerating itself or something?
No. It's expanding.
It's getting much bigger.
That's one ugly monster.
[Jorg] It's weak right now.
It's our chance to strike.
I agree. Let's finish it off.
Yeah!
[samurai grunting]
[screams]
[both grunting fiercely]
[all yelling]
[Anthrasax's cell] Don't underestimate me!
[loud explosions]
[both yelp, groan]
[both grunting painfully]
[strained grunt]
[Vlad grunts painfully]
[Gara] What a disgusting creature.
And now, it's getting even bigger.
[Anthrasax's cell] I could use a good meal.
I'm going to eat you all!
Shut up!
Not today, you monster!
[fierce grunts]
Lord Kall-Su!
[Anthrasax's cell screaming]
- [loud explosion] - Lord Kall-Su!
Guide us to end this!
Humankind seems to be heading right toward its downfall.
However, we cannot just stand here and wait for it to happen without helping.
Come with me.
If you are ready to die and trust me with your life,
I will give you a reason to live instead.
If peace on earth is a reality that does exist...
then I'm going to achieve it,
no matter what it takes.
Lord Kall-Su!
Fire Whip!
The End of Sonic Vibration!
Mega Graviton!
[Anthrasax's cell screaming]
[Anthrasax's cell] You little humans!
[wind gusting]
[Dark Schneider] Hey.
How long are you gonna stay asleep?
[gags]
Hurry up and open your eyes already!
- [loud explosion] - [all scream]
Wake up!
[grunting]
I said, wake the hell up!
[Kall-Su] I can hear someone calling.
Who is it that he's calling?
[Dark Schneider] How long are you gonna stay inside there?
[Kall-Su] It's a fire. It's hot.
Who...
Who am I?
Who are you?
Do I know you?
It's hot.
This burning heat.
I remember what it is.
I remember.
I remember what I had forgotten.
[Dark Schneider] Open your eyes!
Get up now!
Get up and kill it!
Kall-Su!
[Kall-Su gasps]
I'm awake.
You called my name...
Dark Schneider!
What was that?
[Nei] Why is it still now?
For some reason, the monster stopped moving. Huh?
What's this?
It's... it's snow?
It's crystals of snow.
[Anthrasax's cell grunts angrily]
A tremendous force of magic.
I can sense it radiating out from inside that monster.
[Anthrasax's cell grunting]
[Anthrasax's cell screams]
I don't believe this.
There's magic inside that thing that's as powerful as Dark Schneider himself.
[Abigail] It's trying to separate itself from the monster!
No! It can't be...
[Anthrasax's cell grunting]
[fierce scream]
Go, Darsh!
Lucien!
[Vai] Whoa! Dark Schneider's body is on fire!
That's some powerful magic!
[screeching]
[Dark Schneider] Come back, Kall-Su.
Come back to me.
- [Yoko shrieking] - [samurai grunting]
Dark Schneider's power is growing.
He's becoming a phoenix.
Look there!
- [gasps] It... it's coming out. - [gasps]
What... what's that?
It's ice...
[Zion] An ice dragon!
[screeching]
[struggled grunting]
[Anthrasax's cell] What in the world?
What is that thing?
[both gasping]
[stunned gasping]
[both gasping worriedly]
[Fire Phoenix roars]
[Ice Dragon screeches]
[Kall-Su] In the depths of the darkness of night...
my sins...
they never cease to keep hunting me.
[young Kall-Su] Mother...
[Anthrasax] You all shall perish.
[Kall-Su] The time has finally come for humankind to be dealt punishment
for the sins they've committed against the gods.
And in the same way,
my life will continue to be filled with pain
for as long as I live.
My life itself is my punishment.
That sin...
That judgment...
That punishment...
[voice breaking] Who out there can forgive me?
I will not be forgiven.
No one would forgive me.
[Dark Schneider] I'll forgive you.
[gasps]
I will...
I will forgive you.
[screeches]
Kall-Su!
[gasps]
Huh? Who are you?
I'm somebody who isn't needed by anyone at all.
[Dark Schneider] Then I'll take you in.
From this point on, you belong to me.
What's wrong?
Aren't you coming?
Dark...
[gasps]
Huh?
Uh, what's that?
Dark Schneider!
[Yngwie] Lord Kall-Su.
[Anthrasax's cell] No.
This power...
It's not just Dark Schneider and Kall-Su, it's much more!
Who is really behind this?
[gasping]
[Anthrasax's cell] What?
You... you are...
[gasps]
[Yoko] Lucien?
[Yoko gasps]
[magical chiming]
Huh?
What in the world's going on?
The... the sky is glowing with strange yellow lights now.
What an eerie spectacle this is.
[Baba grunts]
[Baba] I'm afraid I know what that light means.
That's right.
It's the Golden Nebula.
It's... it's a sign that the Dragon Warrior is about to appear.
[Geo] It's just like what happened 17 years ago.
The day when Lars faced off against Dark Schneider all by himself.
I never imagined the day would come
when I'd get to see that light again.
The God of Destruction has reawakened,
but with this light, humankind might be saved.
Finally...
Finally, the Dragon Warrior has accepted Dark Schneider
as the one who carries on the blood of the dragons.
[Sean] The blood of the dragons?
As in the book of prophecies passed down through the ages in Meta-llicana.
"Four hundred years later,
the four seals that seal away the demon god will be broken."
"However, the person carrying my blood will transform into the Dragon Warrior
and will defeat the demon god."
A legendary Dragon Warrior?
[Geo] That fire phoenix and ice dragon,
they must be the result of the Golden Nebula
turning their auras into sacred beasts.
[Sheila groans]
[Lars] I see.
Dark Schneider's other half that got separated from him
when he was born.
The good heart of a human and the power of good.
Did he get them back?
When Dark Schneider saw his friend die,
he shed tears for the first time in his life.
Tears of purity, shed for someone else.
Real tears that only a human could shed.
Lucien and Dark Schneider
are trying to merge completely into one through the battle with Kall-Su.
When the one who carries on the blood of the dragon
grows to have a righteous heart,
filled with love, courage, and justice,
the legendary Dragon Warrior will appear!
The Dragon Warrior will fuse
with the sacred warrior and fight against evil.
And then...
What Dark Schneider is attempting to do is a miracle to be witnessed.
Sorry, Great Priest, I disagree.
It's no miracle because the Dark Schneider I know
already has those qualities inside of him.
[loud blast]
They... they came out from the light?
The fire phoenix and the ice dragon, they're here again.
No!
You're that boy in that battle 400 years ago!
Shut up! Because no one cares!
Who cares about love and justice?
Those things won't help me kill you, you idiot!
Huh?
[cackles]
I hope you're ready because I'm gonna crush you to death!
[cackling]
Take this, you idiot!
[gasps] No! No! No, no!
[Anthrasax's cell] Please! Don't do it! No!
[Dark Schneider] Here we go, Kall-Su!
[both grunting fiercely]
[Anthrasax's cell shrieking]
[screaming]
[screaming continues]
[loud explosion]
[intense music playing]
Lucien.
[Nei] Darsh.
[fire blasts]
[ethereal music playing]
[samurai] Dark Schneider!
Lucien!
[Sorcerer Shoguns] Lord Kall-Su!
[ethereal music continues playing]
[groans lightly]
I've always felt guilty about being alive.
But despite my remorse, I kept right on living.
I wanted to live so badly that I even killed my own mother.
[Kall-Su] I've always questioned whether it was okay
for someone like me to be alive.
I couldn't forgive myself for the sins I had committed.
I couldn't forgive humankind for their sins either.
So I tried to use the power of the God of Destruction
to pass judgment on the humans for their sins.
However, I was wrong about them.
What they needed wasn't someone to pass judgment.
They needed someone who would forgive them.
No one...
Not even one who's a god...
No one has the right to take away a life given to someone else.
Every person who was ever born into this world...
has inherited the natural right to be alive in it.
[uplifting music playing]
[Kall-Su grunting]
[Kall-Su groans lightly]
Dark Schnei...
[grunts]
You're such an idiot.
You didn't even know something so obvious that people have the right to live.
Did I ever tell you that you're kind of slow?
[gasping]
Mm.
Lord Kall-Su!
[Yngwie] Lord Kall-Su!
[Bol cries]
[sniffles, sobs] Lord Kall-Su!
- [all sob] - We're so glad...
You're safe again!
[all crying softly]
You... You're all here?
- [Dark Schneider] Come on. - [exclaims]
[wind whooshing]
["Disappear" by Tielle playing]
[Kall-Su's mother] Kall...
I love you.
My dear boy, I love you.
[Kall-Su] I'm back.
["Disappear" by Tielle continues]
[Kall-Su] I have finally returned.
[static crackling]
[wise man 1] What do you think?
Well, I'm quite surprised.
Dark Schneider is clearly rejecting the other part of himself, Lucien Renlen.
The key spiritual element that will complete him one day.
- [wise man 2] Really? - But why reject him?
[wise man 3] The part of him that's Dark Schneider
sometimes overpowers the part of him that's Lucien,
even though the part of him that's still Lucien
should be dominant.
[wise man 2] But why?
[wise man 4] Then it's over.
Our plan to save the world from darkness has been ruined.
[wise man 1] The one who holds the key
is most likely that girl.
Lord Kall-Su.
Are you hurt, Lord Kall-Su?
No, I'm fine now.
I realized that I've made you all worry.
For that I'm sorry.
[soft chuckle] Lord Kall-Su.
There's no need for apologies.
We're all just grateful
that the Lord Kall-Su we know is back with us.
Mm.
Oh, once again, I've been proved right.
Without me, you'd be a big ball of dust right now.
Yeah, right, gorilla. I think your brain has rotted through.
What did you say?
You almost died without me!
Enough with the drama.
That was nothing!
[sobbing] Oh, Darsh!
- [Nei crying] - Huh?
- [Nei wailing] - But I'm okay, Arshes.
What's wrong?
I... I see you for the first time in two years.
You're covered in wounds and you almost died.
[Nei sobs]
[Nei] I was so worried about you.
You idiot Darsh.
- You idiot! - [energy crackling]
[Dark Schneider gibbering]
[Dark Schneider] Stop, Arshes! Stop, you're killing me!
- [Nei] You idiot! - Oh, that's bad.
That's not good.
Yoko, help me!
- Arshes gonna kill me... - [Nei] How could you?
Where do you think you're going, Darsh?
[Dark Schneider screaming in pain]
Oh, well, some people can't be helped.
What were you doing?
You told me if we ever got separated
that I should wait for you at our secret hideout
until you came back for me!
[grunts] All right, Arshes.
Knock it off! I'm getting sick of this!
You big idiot!
Do you have any idea how long I waited?
[Dark Schneider] Oh man, I screwed up.
She waited for two whole years for me to show up again?
You left me out there to sit around
while you guys were over here with all the action and fighting!
[Nei] You idiot!
Well, this is unusual behavior for Empress Nei.
I've never seen the poor girl like this before.
Did...
Did you stay away because you got sick of me?
[Dark Schneider groans]
[Nei] You don't need me anymore? Is that it?
You need Kall-Su much more, so you don't care about me.
Is that the reason you left me there by myself?
[Kall-Su groans]
[sighs]
Huh?
Idiot.
It's because I love you.
I didn't want you involved in a dangerous battle
because I love you.
Huh? Really?
What's wrong?
Are you saying you don't believe me after everything? Huh?
I wanna stay with you from now on.
I don't care if it's dangerous.
The only thing that makes me happy...
The only time I'm truly happy is when I'm with you, Darsh.
It's okay.
I get it now.
Please don't leave me again.
I won't.
[annoyed sigh]
ANNOYED
[Yoko] Well, she's got Darsh back.
But what about Lucien?
Hmm...
[Anthrasax] You fools.
You fools!
Don't be so full of yourself, you puny little insects!
Anthrasax.
God of Destruction.
[Anthrasax] Keep in mind that thing you defeated just now
was nothing more than a single cell from my body.
A single cell.
[Anthrasax] Dark Schneider,
it's not going to be as easy as it was 400 years ago.
I am completely reawakened now.
- I'll show you my full power! - [loud blast]
Whoa! What... what was that?
Look!
[farmer 1 gasping]
[farmer 1] The crater!
There's something there!
[farmer 2] What is that thing?
[waves splashing]
[worried gasping]
- Dad, look! Look below! - Whoa. Whoa.
[fisherman] Look below!
[both screaming frantically]
[loud explosion]
Agh! Run!
[villagers clamoring]
[villager 1] What is that?
Look! That way! There's another one!
[villager 2] It's... it's huge!
[villagers screaming]
[wise man 2] Multiple instances of super-organism oscillation waves.
Gravity vibrations detected.
They're gathering together,
sharing coordinates, and using teleportation.
[wise man 1] Golligli effect detected.
A group of several tens of thousands strong.
Those are demon gods.
They mean to destroy this ark in a single deadly blow.
[dark choral music playing]
[wise man 5] Now that the seal of destruction has been broken...
[wise man 5 sighs]
...they have all spilled out from hell.
Come...
Come, Wise Men of Europea.
[wise man 5] Let us finally put an end to the battle
that first began 400 years ago.
And for our children who will become corpses,
let us dedicate a requiem to them.
[throbbing loudly]
