01x06 - Sistana Shaken

[bunniefuu]

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 w*r 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 w*r

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 b*stard,

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 w*r 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

k*lled 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 b*stard 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 k*lled my grandpa.

That Holy Knight k*lled 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
