01x11 - Catastrophe Returns

[bunniefuu]

You have visitors.

I apologize.

What the hell do you want?

Please let us accompany you! At least during the Waves!

[NAOFUMI] Can you arrange a class upgrade for us?

[sl*ve TRADER] You can still get it done

by simply applying at any other country's

dragon hourglass.

[NAOFUMI] We won't be able to get there

before the next Wave.

[RAPHTALIA] Once all the Waves have been repelled,

you'll probably go back-- back to your home world

and I'll never see you again.

[MIRELLIA] The Wave is nearly here.

Will the heroes be able to overcome it?

It's almost that time.

Along with the potions,

I threw in some leftover weapons I had laying around.

They'll make for decent backups.

[RAPHTALIA] Thank you so much.

Still, I'm pretty impressed you were able

to stock up on so much medicine in so little time.

This still might not be enough.

There's no way we can tell what'll happen during the Wave.

[ERHARDT laughs] If you're being that careful,

you won't have to worry at all.

[NAOFUMI] Oh, right.

Hold out your hand, Raphtalia.

All right...

Um, what's that?

[NAOFUMI] It's got a spell to boost your mana generation.

Helluva present for a lady...

Boost my mana generation?

Will it really?!

I'm so happy! Thank you!

Huh?

How come she's the only one who gets a present?

She isn't, check this out.

[FILO gasps]

It'll make your speed and agility

twice what it was.

It's cute, Filo. You like it?

[FILO] Do I like it?! Are you kidding?!

Thank you, Master! Yay!

[NAOFUMI] And a hairpin won't fall off

when you transform.

What's brought on this accessory-making spree?

Did some rich eccentric uncle leave you

his fortune or what?

It'll help 'em boost their stats, that's all.

Right...

[AKE] The time has come.

Get yourselves together because

you'll be teleported with me.

Yes, sir!

[NAOFUMI] Okay, It's time.

Here we go...

Be right baaack!

[laughs] I'll be waiting in the shop!

You just come back alive!

[ALL panting]

[screaming]

Everyone else in the village has already evacuated!

Get out of here now!

[VILLAGER A] R-Right! Yes, sir!

I think he's the last one

so we're done with the evacuation.

[VOLUNTEER SOLDIER A] It sure took a while.

Maybe we should getting back to-- Huh?

[VOLUNTEER SOLDIERS gasp]

[NAOFUMI] Go!

Yeah!

[VOLUNTEER SOLDIER B] What the...?

They took down a lizardman like it was nothing!

There're still plenty of them. Keep your eyes peeled.

[BOTH] Got it.

Ha-cha!

How did she do that?!

Thank you very much for your help in the past, Shield Hero.

I'm indebted to you.

Where do you know her from?

You're that same lady?

Yes indeed. Thanks to you, I feel much better now.

[OLD WOMAN A] As you can see.

Wow!

[OLD WOMAN A] Small fry like these are no match for me.

I swear by these arms,

which fought many a formidable foe

back when I was an adventurer.

[OLD WOMAN A laughs]

[NAOFUMI] What the hell did I give her?!

[AKE] Sir Hero!

Sir! All the villagers have been moved to safety!

That's great. Now keep the enemy out.

[NAOFUMI] It's been three whole hours.

What are those guys doing?

Sir Hero. You really should go.

We need to put an end to the Wave quickly.

It'll help all the villagers as well.

I don't know...

[OLD WOMAN A] Ha! You can leave the village to lil' ol' me

and these whippersnappers.

I suppose you're right.

Just don't push your luck, Grandma.

Raphtalia, Filo, we're outta here.

--[RAPHTALIA] Right. --[FILO] 'Kay!

Master Naofumi!

Huh?

[FILO] What a big ship!

[ITSUKI] Keep it up!

[NAOFUMI] Where are the others?

[ITSUKI] They're on the ship.

I told them that attacking that figurehead

and spawning the Soul Eater came first, but nope...

They won't listen to reason.

[ITSUKI yelps]

[yells]

[MOTOYASU panting]

What are you doing, Motoyasu?

We need to take out the skeleton!

We're gonna have to take out the kraken first

or the Soul Eater won't spawn otherwise!

[MYNE] What are you saying?

[REN'S COMPANION A] You morons...

[NAOFUMI] This is no time to be bickering!

Naofumi...

Why don't you go and defend some village...

I agree! An incompetent hero who can't fight should just--

You're the incompetent ones!

[MYNE gasps]

Stop wasting time. If we don't put an end

to the Waves, more monsters will come.

And I can't do my job! But you--

Instead of working together,

the three of you are doing whatever you want!

If we lose, all the villagers will die,

and so will you!

Quit thinking this is some sort of game

'cause it's not!

[REN] Don't you think I know that by now?!

That's why I'm hitting the Skeleton

to spawn the Soul Eater!

Hah!

You k*lled it earlier, but nothing spawned.

We have to k*ll it more than once

to make it work!

I don't believe this...

[REN] What's that supposed to mean?!

[NAOFUMI] It doesn't have any special

parameters or resistances.

But there has to be a way to spawn

a Soul Eater other than k*lling that thing.

[NAOFUMI gasps]

[NAOFUMI] Raphtalia! Cast some light magic!

Light? I can try!

Do it!

A-All right...!

As source of thy power, I order thee.

Decipher the laws of nature and illuminate my surroundings.

Fast Light now!

Hurry, att*ck the shadow at its feet!

[RAPHTALIA grunts]

[gasps]

[REN] Hm?

[REN grunts]

[ALL gasp, murmur]

Oh, now what are we gonna do?

[ITSUKI] Look!

Soul Eaters are spawning everywhere--

they're all over the ship!

[gasps]

Thunderbolt Slash!

Thunder Arrow!

[MOTOYASU] Lightning Spear!

It's stronger than I thought.

Are our att*cks even affecting it?

[NAOFUMI] We'll get nowhere with lightning-element att*cks.

Filo! Cast wind magic!

'Kay!

Fast Tornado!

Come on!

We've got to take it out before it unleashes that thing!

Right with ya!

Raphtalia, Filo...

Get behind me, quick!

[REN, MOTOYASU scream]

[MOTOYASU grunts]

[NAOFUMI grunts]

[MOTOYASU, REN grunt]

--Filo! --[FILO] 'Kay.

High Quick it is!

[FILO grunting]

♪ Can't touch me!

[FILO yells]

[yells]

[FILO grunts]

[NAOFUMI] This strategy will k*ll it eventually.

But still...

[NAOFUMI] If we take too long, the village will be destroyed!

We're not hurting it at all!

Stop complaining.

Let's find its weakness.

Raphtalia...

What is it?

I'm going to use Rage Shield.

Forgive me.

[gasps]

[RAPHTALIA] Don't you remember what I told you?

You can always count on me to be your sword.

I will follow you through fire and brimstone.

Never forget it.

Take care of Raphtalia if anything goes wrong.

[FILO] Mm-hm!

I'll be here.

By your side until the very end.

[NAOFUMI] Come forth, Rage Shield!

[yells]

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] You will pay...

[NAOFUMI gasps]

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] You will pay!

[screams]

I don't get it...

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] For humiliating me,

defeating me as a puny human...

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] And for humiliating me

by taking my bones and turning me into a tool...

Is that...

Is that the dragon zombie I absorbed before?

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] You will pay...

You will pay!

What does "Grow up" mean?

[NAOFUMI screams]

[NAOFUMI] A seething rage...

It's not the flame from before.

It's his hatred!

[yells]

What the hell happened to him?

Hey, wait!

Filo's being affected by the dragon zombie, too?

[FILO yells]

[yells]

[NAOFUMI yelling]

He's basically turned into a wild beast

and that certainly isn't how a hero

is supposed to fight.

[gasps] What the hell are you people

standing around for?!

Miserable demi-human, how dare you!

Master Naofumi's fighting in our place,

doing what we lack the courage to do!

Yes, it's true.

If only I weren't so useless...

If only I were stronger...

I wouldn't have to put him through this!

[RAPHTALIA] You all have the power,

so why don't you fight?

How can you call yourself the world's heroes?!

[NAOFUMI yelling]

[gasps]

Crimson Sword!

[ITSUKI] Thunder sh*t!

Hey, Motoyasu...

Why should I have to help that bastard?

It's not right!

[ITSUKI] I hear you, but we have no other choice right now.

[MOTOYASU] Damn it!

Sir Motoyasu? You can't be serious--

you're not going to help the Shield?!

[REN] Then why don't you k*ll that thing?

[NAOFUMI grunts]

[REN, MOTOYASU yell]

[yells]

How was that?

Got to admit, it was cool.

But you're not doing too much damage to it.

[RAPHTALIA] Master Naofumi...

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] You will pay.

Shut up. Just shut up!

Come out, you coward!

[ZOMBIE DRAGON] I will make you pay!

I'll always believe in you.

[gasps]

[NAOFUMI] Didn't I swear to protect Raphtalia, Filo,

and all the villagers?!

Shield Prison!

[NAOFUMI] Not so fast!

Time for Change Shield!

[NAOFUMI, ZOMBIE DRAGON] Within this virgin of cold ore,

who shall swallow even your screams

with her embrace, suffer in anguish

as your entire body is stabbed and skewered!

I cast the Iron Maiden!

Finally put an end to that...

[grunts]

[FILO grunts]

I don't, um... Master, what just happened?

[RAPHTALIA] Master Naofumi! Filo!

[RAPHTALIA] Are you all right?

Why? Don't I look all right?

[ITSUKI] I'll be damned.

So that's what the Shield's capable of.

So basically, he cheated.

You can bet things'll be different next time!

[FILO] Hey...

Don't tell me you're a sore loser?

Th-That's not it, Filo.

I'm, uh, just sayin' I could easily

have one-shotted that thing if I'd gotten serious,

you know what I mean? It was a no brainer, really.

Really?

Um, oh, yeah, absolutely! Motoyasu never lies.

[FILO] Then why didn't you?

Did you feel that?

Another one?

I've definitely never seen this in the game before.

[gasps]

[GLASS] How very disappointing.

[GLASS] You actually have trouble

with weaklings like these?

Are you really the heroes

holding the world's fate in their hands?

There's only one here worthy of being called a hero.

And what is your name?

How 'bout you introduce yourself before asking someone's name.

[GLASS] Oh, pardon me.

Whatever happened to my manners?

I am called Glass, and that's all you need to know for now.

Feel free to consider me your enemy.

Enemy?

I'm Naofumi.

[GLASS] Naofumi.

Well, well...

[GLASS] Then may I suggest...

...that we begin...

...the only battle of this Wave

worthy of the name?
