SISTANA SHAKEN
[Kalden] I must thank you for deciding to come.
Sir Ironside.
[Ironside] Let me get straight to the point.
Is the search for the thing I asked for going well?
All that's known is that it's located within this city.
I'm afraid we haven't been able to find it yet, sir.
But we're giving the search everything we've got.
[soft grunt]
[Anne] Father, I can tell that you're lying.
[Ironside] ...only gratitude
- for your efforts. - [Anne] But not more than him...
[Ironside] I swear by the name of my king
to protect this city from the evil hand of wicked Liones with my life.
[Anne] This man hasn't spoken a single truthful word.
He gives me the creeps.
[Ironside] My! I haven't seen your daughter in years.
She's blossomed into a beautiful woman.
I'd love to introduce her to my son.
What do you think? Say the word and I'll arrange it.
[Anne] Well, like anyone would want to meet your son.
Anne, you're to answer him.
- Anne! - [gasps]
You are lost in thought again.
[Ironside] It's all right.
People her age have many worries on their minds.
Sorry, Father. Forgive me.
[Ironside] If you do happen to discover it, young lady,
please inform your father.
It's an ancient relief carved with figures of people offering their prayers.
The fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
That's the object we're looking for.
[narrator] Britannia.
Once before in this realm,
the Holy Knights of the Kingdom of Liones staged a coup d'état.
The devastating fires of war that ensued
threatened to consume the entire continent.
But thanks to the emergence of the legendary heroes
known as the Seven Deadly Sins,
the catastrophic war was brought to an end.
This story takes place 16 years after those events.
[theme music]
[quirky music]
[effort grunt]
- [splashes] - [Donny] I did it!
It's a big one too!
Line up! Count off!
- [mini Percivals] I'll win... - [Percival grumbles]
These guys aren't moving the way I want them to.
I guess that makes sense.
After all, magic does reflect the user's personality and mental state.
- [Nasiens] Look at this! - [both] Huh?
The mini Percivals changed color when I gave them poison.
[laughs] They're so cool!
Don't give them that.
Oh. And, uh, Percy.
What is it?
When you defeated Talisker...
The weapon that you imagined, was it a sword?
No, actually, it was this.
Ouroboros!
[Nasiens, Donny yelp in surprise]
It's a kitchen knife I got from Grandpa.
That's clearly a magic sword but okay.
No, it's a kitchen knife. My grandpa told me that himself.
By the way, you mentioned that your helmet and cape were keepsakes.
But who exactly was your grandfather?
Mm, wish I could tell you.
All I know is he was once a Holy Knight like Ironside.
That's why I'm gonna do whatever it takes to go to Cammymott...
[grunts] ...so I can find that guy and make him pay.
About that, I have doubts about this plan of yours.
[Nasiens] How could Camelot still exist after being destroyed 16 years ago?
And how can it be reached from the Kingdom of Liones?
[grunts]
Sin isn't lying. It still exists.
Trust me. I can tell!
If you say so, Percival.
[Donny moans softly]
I'm so stuffed, I don't wanna get up.
[Percival] Wish we could just whoosh and fly there with magic.
[groans softly]
[Percival, Donny exclaim]
Hey, Sin! The magic orb you used that day!
With that, we can reach Liones in a flash, right?
Nope. No, can't do. That was the last one I had.
Argh!
Then why didn't you use it to take us to Liones?
I was in a rush so I couldn't help it.
It's not my fault.
[Nasiens] Um, an incantation orb? Is that what you're referring to?
You've heard of those?
Yes. What's more...
They're said to have been crafted by the mage Merlin herself.
She was one of the legendary knights of the Seven Deadly Sins
who imbued them with various magical abilities.
[grunts] She also put together the ancient document
with a record of all poisons from different ages!
Oh, what I'd give to see
the ancient document of the Boar's Sin just once!
- [Percival] You're bleeding! - [Donny groans]
[Donny] Great. So we're stuck with walking, huh?
Are we there yet?
'Cause I'm craving a bed to sleep in tonight.
[Nasiens] It's just beyond this hill.
Here we come!
[gasps] So this is Sistana!
Whoa!
[mini Percivals] It's here. It's here. It's here...
- It's here. It's here. It's here. - [all] Huh?
Wait up! What's gotten into you guys anyway?
[mini Percivals] It's here. It's here. It's here.
[Percival] You think there's something here?
[Nasiens] Looks like it's been dug up and buried again.
On top of everything, you even have a "searcher" ability?
What the heck is this?
Hey, is that real?
[Anne] Who are you? And what are you doing?
[all] Huh?
[Anne] I need you to put that down and get out of here at once!
Huh?
[Anne] If you intend on handing the fragment over to that man,
I'll butcher you.
What the hell is her problem?
Is that how you speak to strangers?
Hold on a second, isn't she...
We just stumbled onto this by accident!
So what is it you think we're doing here?
How do you stumble onto something that's buried?
It sounds like a cover-up.
A hidden rapier!
[grunts] You wanna fight?
[gasps, grunts]
[groans]
- [Percival] Are you all right? - Argh... Okay, that one really hurt...
It's not like that. We don't wanna fight you.
You're just saying that because I'm a woman, right?
[grunting]
Coward!
Agh! [grunts]
[Percival] Nasiens!
Utterly pathetic.
And you call yourselves companions of that Holy Knight?
Who exactly are you talking about?
Quit playing dumb! And return the fragment to me.
Here.
Huh?
It's yours, so take it.
Uh...
After all, it wasn't really us who found it in the first place.
Who else could have? Don't lie to me.
[Anne] I knew it. He is hiding something.
- And this guy's full of lies! - [grunting]
I bet you're no different from them.
Huh?
[twinkles]
Huh? This kid doesn't have any lies or secrets?
So, who found it?
- [mini Percivals whimpering] - They did and led us right to it.
[gasps]
Oh, good. The misunderstanding's been cleared up.
You call this "good"?
Hey, kid.
What's the name of that Holy Knight you were just talking about?
How dare you call me a kid!
Wait, did you just speak?
[maid] Pardon me, Lady Anne.
[gasps]
Please come back.
His Grace is quite upset with your leaving.
- Quickly! Hide it under your cape! - But you said it was...
Make sure none of the citizens see you with it.
Just do as I say.
And whatever you do, don't give it to the man named Ironside.
[both gasp]
That name you just said--
[grunts]
Have a pleasant day, gentlemen, and farewell.
[grumbles]
[soft tense music]
I guess that woman must have been Anghalhad,
she's the daughter of the lord.
I've seen her a couple of times when I was here with Ordo.
Okay, but what's this weird thing she was so desperate for us to hide?
Even I've never seen it in person until now.
[Donny] You know what it is?
[Sin] It's a fragment of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
A magic item of legend made by a Giant craftsperson.
Of legend? How much could we get if we sold it?
Moron.
What's the matter, Percival? You're normally never this quiet.
Judging from the way she talked about that bastard,
Ironside is here, and this might be my only chance to confront him.
What are you gonna do after that?
I'm gonna make him tell me about Grandpa.
[Sin] Do you have any chance of beating him?
If what you told us is true, a fight with that guy is bad news.
It could endanger the people of this city.
Ugh...
[Sin] Do you have a way to confirm that he's the real Ironside?
Can you avenge your grandfather with your present abilities?
More importantly, why is your dad looking for the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
You need to know more before meeting him.
[Sin] Am I wrong, Percival?
[sighs deeply]
[Kalden] Stop wandering out into town on your own like that!
Who knows what kind of dangers may fall upon this city at any moment!
Is that what the man named Ironside said?
Why believe what that rogue tells you anyway?
Everything he's uttered is complete nonsense! He's lying!
Lower your voice! What if he can hear you?
What I said is true! You're well aware of my power to see through lies.
You're not to use that power.
Something like that will only get you hurt.
[Anne] Mother said it was a gift from God, so why shouldn't I use it?
It doesn't matter.
Ironside is a Holy Knight who protect the people alongside her!
[Anne grunts angrily]
Like it or not, we have to follow his orders.
Who knows what he might do to us if we don't?
We must, in order to protect the people of this city.
Doing what he said won't guarantee anyone's safety.
You don't think I know that?
Anne, listen. You are still only a child!
So just keep quiet and do as I tell you!
I'm not just a kid anymore.
[Anne] I'm 16, Father.
One day, I'll be a Holy Knight myself!
That way, if danger ever falls upon this city,
then I can be the one to fend it off!
- [grunts] - [Anne] So stand up for yourself
and stop letting that strange man boss you around!
[slapping]
I won't tolerate this talk!
- [shaky breathes] - [door opens]
Pardon me, it's almost time, Your Grace.
Very well.
[Kalden] You're not to leave your room again.
- [receding footsteps] - [sobbing]
[door closes]
[suspenseful music]
[man 1] So that's Lord Kalden's friend I've heard about.
Sir Ironside, right?
[man 2] They say he's a Holy Knight who serves a well-known king.
I don't understand. What does a Holy Knight want with us?
[man 3] Could it be connected to whatever he's looking for?
It's really Ironside.
[angry grunt]
- [Percival yelping] - Hey, cut it out.
Percival.
Get a grip, Percy.
Sorry.
- [Ironside] Citizens of Sistana... - [citizens gasp]
I thank you for gathering tonight.
I've arrived here to inform you of the catastrophe and salvation
rapidly closing in on this city.
Catastrophe?
So is he saying something bad is gonna happen?
[Ironside] This might make things easier to explain.
[gasping]
Look at the missing part of the relief...
[Nasiens] The fragment Anghalhad entrusted Percival fits perfectly inside.
[Sin] This is bad.
Huh?
If that relief he has becomes whole,
something terrible is gonna happen.
[Percival] What are you talking about?
What will happen if he gets the other half of that relief we have?
[Sin] Nothing good.
It was originally created to seal away the demon race.
[Percival] Seal away?
[Sin] That's right.
And in order to activate it, the goddess race sacrificed themselves.
Then what is he planning on doing with that now?
The demon race vanished from Britannia, right?
After the Holy War 16 years ago.
I'll get around to explaining that later.
The real problem is how it happened.
Sounds like you're referring to the sacrifice
the goddess race made, right?
Yeah.
[Sin] If he does intend to activate it,
they aren't here to offer themselves up.
Ugh...
[Sin] Which means your dad is plotting something horrible.
He wants to use the people of this city as a sacrifice.
- [gasps] - Are you serious--
- Be quiet! - [muffled grunt]
[Percival] I think we ought to take down Ironside right now!
Calm down, kid.
[grumbles]
The last fragment, if it's in our hands, we can't be rash.
It's best if we take it out of the city.
After we came all this way and finally found him?
Percy, I understand how you're feeling.
But right now, we have to put the lives of the people before our own.
[angry grunt]
[Sin] Not to mention, you don't stand a chance
against him with your current skills.
[Ironside] This Coffin of Eternal Darkness features a fairy, a Giant, a goddess,
a dragon representing chaos, and a human...
It's an ancient ritual artifact consisting of five fragments.
The assistance I have been seeking
involves locating the final fragment that fits within it.
Once the artifact becomes whole,
he'll then be able to perform the ritual in order to protect Sistana.
So I ask for your cooperation.
And Sir Holy Knight, what is this catastrophe?
[Ironside] The Four Knights of the Apocalypse
are prophesied to destroy the world.
As we speak, the Kingdom of Liones is gathering these devils
in order to take down Britannia!
They're doing what?
The Kingdom of Liones?
[Anne] Everyone, don't believe a word this man says.
Everything he's been telling you is a lie!
Anne!
[all gasp]
[man 1] It's Lady Anne.
[man 2] So this Holy Knight is lying?
[man 3] How dare she insult a Knight!
[Kalden] Anne, stand down now!
[Ironside] There, there.
Outbursts are common for people her age.
I'm sure she's just trying to garner some attention from this.
Unfortunately...
I'm not.
I can distinguish the truth from a lie in someone.
Anne, stop it!
[Ironside] You shouldn't lie yourself, young lady.
Afraid you're wrong. This ability is my magic.
[Ironside] In that case, I cannot overlook it.
[grunts]
[tense music]
Sir Ironside, please! My daughter doesn't know any better.
I'll punish her if only you forgive her.
[Ironside] My, my! How undisciplined.
[gasps]
Now's our chance to leave while they're fighting.
Good idea! Come on.
- [both grunt] - Percival!
Let her go!
You've got to be kidding!
Ugh, move it!
Who is that?
He's not from here.
[Ironside] You.
So you really did survive my onslaught.
That helmet and cape you're wearing...
Have you come to exact revenge for Varghese?
What is he doing here?
[Ironside] Or have you come to take the Coffin of Eternal Darkness?
[mini Percivals yelping]
[Ironside] What are these?
[pants, grunts]
[Anne gasps]
Anne!
[Ironside grunts]
[grunting]
[clamoring]
Anne!
What are you doing? You could've just killed my daughter in the crossfire!
[Ironside] A small sacrifice for a greater cause.
[gasps]
What? I see. Well done.
[panting]
Percival isn't with us!
What do we do? Should we turn back?
He won't go down so easily in his current condition.
Securing the fragment needs to be our top priority.
[gasps]
Wait! That's the maid of that girl Anne, isn't it?
[Sin] Hey, stop!
[Nasiens] It flew!
That was Ironside's familiar.
It was probably spying for him.
Hey, you guys!
Are you okay, Percy?
[Percival] Where's the thing Anne left us?
[Sin] It was taken.
- [gasps] - Huh?
Ironside! What are you doing?
[grunts]
[Sin] Now that it's come to this, we have to remain calm.
He needs a blood sacrifice to activate the artifact.
[chimes]
In other words, if he manages to slaughter
everyone in the city, then he wins.
[gasps] Slaughters everyone?
Before that happens, we need to try and break the relic.
If not, we need to do what we can and at least grab a piece of it.
So then...
you're ready to take this on?
Of course, I am! I'll never let that bastard have his way again!
[sighs] Why is it always like this with Percival?
Can we just run?
Well, I'll be happy to assist you.
After all, you're my favorite guinea pig.
Thank you, Nasiens! Yay!
[whimpers]
Ugh! Fine! I'll do it, leave me alone!
You're the best, Donny. Whoopee!
I'll go as well.
As the daughter of the city's lord, I have a duty to protect all our people.
It's settled. Ironside should be starting the ritual right away.
Time is of the essence now.
We have to stop this thing no matter what it takes.
[grunts]
I'll go and get ready for whatever
might happen during the ritual.
And Percy, don't try to engage in a real fight with that guy.
Keep in mind that he's at least ten times stronger than you imagine.
Yeah, I got it.
Start the mission!
[action music]
[all panting]
Anyway, I'm glad you were safe.
Rushing in head-first is stupid, even for you, Percival!
My body acted before I could even think.
Well, I didn't ask you to rescue me back there!
[both grumble]
With that said, thank you.
[Percival] Um-hm.
[Anne] My name is Anne, Anghalhad.
[Percival pants] I'm Percival!
This is Donny and Nasiens.
The fox back there is Sin.
Still, I can't believe all this is happening.
Is he really trying to sacrifice the whole city?
So, Percival, how do you know Ironside?
He's the man who killed my grandpa.
That Holy Knight killed your grandfather?
How despicable!
He intended on setting me up with his son as a potential spouse,
but I bet he's also a scoundrel, just like his father!
[Ironside] Your embrace that is a wedge, and your kiss that is a chain.
I offer you the blood and souls of these children of mankind
to seal away those beings once again.
[dramatic music]
Now, arise, creatures of chaos.
Use this city's inhabitants as sacrifices
and pour their blood into the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.
[closing theme music]
THE NAME OF THE MAGIC
