01x18 - Knights of Prophecy Meet

[bunniefuu]

[guard 1] We beg your pardon, sir.

When we took our eyes off for a moment

[Meliodas] What happened happened.

Nothing we can do.

[guard 2] Shall we gather assistance

from within the castle?

No, we'll trust Lancelot to handle this.

Don't make a fuss about it.

Your Highness.

The former king wishes to see you at once.

[sighs]

Bartra, what is it?

[Slader]

It seems he has had another dream.

An omen about

the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

[gasps]

[dramatic music]

Let me hear it.

[Bartra] When the day comes

that the kingdom is blessed with the moon,

distant thunder and light rain,

the prophesied

Four Knights of the Apocalypse

will finally gather together.

[sighs] Well, it's about time.

However

assassins of chaos and blades of betrayal

will once again snatch away hope.

[worried grunt]

[theme music]

KNIGHTS OF PROPHECY MEE

-[Tristan] Stop, you guys. That's enough!

-[surprised gasps]

-[Isolde] Sir Tristan!

-[clanking]

Welcome back.

Have you found the knight of prophecy yet?

[Tristan] Yes, he's at the castle.

More importantly,

I would like you

to explain this situation.

Well, you see, sir,

these folks are servants of King Arthur.

[Chion] Knights of Chaos.

[Tristan] Them?

They certainly don't appear to be so.

[raspy breathing]

Do you have them

under the effects of Silf?

Lift the spell, Chion.

Yes, sir.

[squeaks]

[all gasp for air]

Whoever they are, you went too far!

But they had the fragment, sir,

of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.

Well, actually,

we just heard

that the fragment of the Coffin

was recovered by one of our allies.

-Haven't you heard?

-Huh?

It appears

that I failed to finish you off.

I guess you're luckier

than I thought you were.

Talk about boring.

[Percival] I'm stuck all by myself again.

Donny, Nasiens, Anne.

You

[screaming]

You guys took them from me!

[screaming continues]

[gasps]

[ominous music]

Uh, what's the matter, Chion?

It's my arm! [groans]

[Chion screaming]

What's this?

Are you the one who did that?

Hurry, Jade, lift the darkness off him!

Yeah, I will [grunts]

Stop right there!

[Percival] Eve ngua yorgo.

-[Chion coughing]

-What's wrong?

His identity is still unknown to us,

lifting the spell now is too risky.

[dramatic music]

If you truly are a Knight of Chaos,

I am left with no other choice,

but to consider you my enemy.

[Percival] Vaz jigura.

That strange tongue is unknown to me.

I can feel this magic of his.

It seems wild and is pulsating violently,

much like the frantic beating of a heart.

[Tristan] Twinkling Star!

[Anne] Percival.

I see.

You're clearly not of the demon race.

[gasps]

[suspenseful music]

[thuds]

[Percival] Yog.

Sir Tristan, I will fight with you!

Finish this kid off already!

I don't wanna draw

any blood unnecessarily,

but it looks like it won't be that simple.

Go ahead and do your worst,

'cause while we're here,

you'll never lay a hand on him!

We'll protect him with our lives!

No matter what it takes!

That's right.

This kid represents hope for us.

So, bring it on!

Listen, this is too dangerous! Step away!

[soft chuckle]

[Anne] Regardless of what may happen,

stay true to yourself, Percival.

We will never abandon you.

So, we'll all stay

right here with you forever.

His magic, it's stabilized now.

[gasps]

How can you idiots call yourselves

Holy Knights of Liones? Huh?

He's Percival,

one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,

summoned by the King of Liones!

Are you insane?

-[all gasp]

-No way!

Tsk.

[Tristan]

Please lift the darkness from him.

[Jade] Yes, sir.

-[relieved sighs]

-[calm music]

You're all right

[soft chuckle]

[soft chuckle]

[soft chuckle]

So then,

all of you were safe the whole time.

Give us a break, would you?

You really do cause so much trouble.

-No, Anne! Nasiens! Donny!

-[Nasiens and Donny grunt]

You're badly hurt!

I'll heal you right now!

[grunts]

Huh?

[Percival] Hold on.

My magic isn't coming out. But why?

Oh, right, I remember.

It's been the faith they all have in me

that allows my magic to manifest.

So now what can I do?

[Tristan] Allow me to help.

Huh?

Healing Star.

[gasps]

[grunts weakly, gasps]

-[Donny and Nasiens grunt]

-Did that really just happen?

What the heck?

You're really okay! [sobs]

-Percival!

-[mini Percivals exclaim]

Oh, wow! Looks like my magic is back too!

You are incredible as always, Sir Tristan!

Your skills captivate me

every time I see them!

Thank you so much! Your magic

is seriously amazing, you know.

Huh? Hey, your eyes are

If you must know,

the blood of the goddess race

is flowing through Sir Tristan's veins!

It's for that very reason that he can heal

any injury in just an instant!

It's true.

I am capable of mending any wound.

Excluding any tears in clothes.

[chuckles]

-[laughing]

-[confused grunts]

Oh, Sir Tristan, you're always

so hilarious. I can't take it!

Hey, you ruffians!

This is where you're supposed to laugh!

Huh? But it wasn't that funny.

Sir Tristan!

Over here! Chion needs you too!

Oh, I'm sorry. Here.

[Tristan] Healing Star.

So, is that something you did?

I'm not sure to be honest.

I don't exactly remember what went down.

What's happening here?

It doesn't seem

to be getting better at all.

Could it be a sickness?

Or perhaps some sort of curse?

Useful as it is, my magic can't cure

illnesses or curses.

My mom I mean, Mother or Hendy

might be able to help here.

-No way.

-[grunting]

What are you going to do about this?

How am I supposed to fight

with my arm in this state?

[Chion] If I have to live

with a rotten twig for an arm,

my career as a knight

will come to a permanent end!

And how do you plan to make things right?

You better take responsibility for this!

Are you kidding me?

How can you put all the blame on him,

when the ones who attacked us

-in the first place were you guys?

-[Percival's friends gasp]

[gasps]

[surprised grunt]

[all chanting]

Medicine, medicine, medicine,

medicine, medicine, medicine.

Unhand me! What are you

[Chion gasps]

Whoa! It just

Mended back?

The magic you used just now,

how did you do that?

Well, to tell the truth, I'm not too sure,

but I figured

that if I caused his arm to rot,

I could probably

turn it back to normal, you know?

[Tristan] Chion.

Apologize now

and express gratitude to him.

Especially if you all are the ones

who initiated this mess.

[hesitant grunt]

Thanks a lot. Sorry for all that.

It would appear

there has been a bit of a mix-up here.

[angry grunt] You nearly k*lled us,

and you want to brush it off

by calling it a mix-up?

Hmm We can see

how it could have been a mix-up.

Right, everyone?

Percival!

How uncharacteristic of you to miss

something like that, Chion.

Weren't you aware

of the traits of the knights of prophecy,

from the verses of the prophecy?

[Tristan] Particularly, "A boy

with green hair like the wings of a bird."

It's quite obvious with a single glance!

And one more thing.

You also must've known

that one of our allies

retrieved the fragment

of the Coffin of Eternal Darkness.

[Jade and Isolde gasp]

[Tristan] Gowther sent a message

to my father the other day,

and I was informed that the news

was relayed to you, Chion,

since I was away.

Is that true? Why didn't you tell us?

-[Chion] Hmm.

-Explain yourself!

Come to think of it, that sounds familiar.

Well, I guess that detail slipped my mind.

I was in a panic after all.

[Chion] I saw Isolde chasing Percival

with a face like thunder

and assumed

he was an assassin from Camelot.

[grunts]

[suspenseful music]

[laughing]

So you're partly at fault for this too.

Well, Isolde, care to explain

why you were chasing him

in the first place?

-[gasps]

-[exclaims]

Well, uh, you see,

Sir Tristan, it's because

that perverted, little boy robbed me

of the chastity

that I had vowed to offer to you.

Uh, sorry. What did you say

you were robbed of?

No, after what he did to me,

I can no longer look you in the eyes.

[sobs]

[Isolde] Farewell, my beloved Sir Tristan!

Wait. Wh Is there something that I said

to make her wanna run away from me?

She's more than likely making

one of her assumptions again.

Let's just leave her alone.

[Tristan] Uh, anyway,

how about we start over?

Let's begin with introductions.

My name is Percival.

And I'm one of the Four Knights

of the Apocalypse, apparently.

I'm Tristan Liones, Percival.

And I'm like you, one of the Four Knights.

Huh?

-Did he say Lio

-Nes?

Tristan Liones?

Then that means your

[all] The Prince of Liones?

Now including the one

that I just brought here,

all four of us are finally in one place.

What? Just one more person, huh?

So, besides me and the Prince,

that makes three of us, right?

[laughing] What are you talking about?

[Tristan] Don't forget the one

who's responsible for bringing you here.

What?

[Percival's friends] No. Don't tell me

[Lancelot] Oh, there you are.

You guys caused

quite a commotion in the streets.

[Percival] Lancelot too?

I take it

that means you're all acquainted now?

[Tristan] Hey, Lance. Long time no see.

-Listen up, Tristan.

-[Tristan] Hmm?

Apparently, the fourth knight

you brought back to the castle

ran away.

[both] Huh?

[both yelling] What?

They're gone? Why did the knight run away?

[Lancelot] How would I know?

The king asked me to personally deliver

this message and offer my assistance.

He told me to get everyone else to help

clean up the mess made by the prince.

[Tristan grunts ashamedly]

The blame for all this

shouldn't be placed at Sir Tristan's feet.

Technically, this fourth knight

is at fault for running away.

Regardless, we're gonna catch them

before they take one step

out of this kingdom.

The castle is north of where we are now.

So if they do decide to run,

it'll be the west gate,

east gate, or the south gate.

So let's split up.

[Lancelot] The Tristan Platoon

will search the west gate area,

and the Percival Platoon will cover

the east gate area.

I'll take care of searching

the south gate area by myself.

Tristan, tell us what you know

about the fourth knight.

Sure. I'll tell you everything.

You sure

that's really necessary right now?

We're gonna be the ones

catching the knight anyway.

Watch it.

[Tristan] The fourth is called Gawain.

They're a knight of great height

who's clad entirely in white armor

adorned with gold decorations.

Their magic gives off a golden glow.

-G-Golden, huh?

-[Percival's friends exclaim]

Oh, wow! Amazing! Tell us more!

[exciting music]

-That's it!

-[music stops]

-[Anne] Come on!

-[Percival] Come on!

Can't you tell us

a little more about them?

Like their hair color or something?

The knight never removed their armor

during the journey,

so I honestly

don't have much else to tell you.

-Talk about useless.

-[Tristan] Uh

-Sir Tristan, fight back!

-He's just all bark and no bite.

[Lancelot] Hey, Tristan.

You're still hiding something, aren't you?

Huh? Uh, no,

I already shared everything I know.

[Lancelot]

I'm gonna tell everyone if you don't.

Hey! You read my mind, didn't you?

Whatever, come out with it already.

[hesitant grunt]

The truth is, the fourth knight, Gawain

is a blood relative,

of our archenemy King Arthur.

-Huh?

-What?

Wait, they're related to King Arthur?

If that's true, they're our enemy.

You see, you see, you see?

I didn't want to tell everybody that part

because I knew things were going

to become totally awkward.

Well, if it is true, it's better

that they know beforehand.

Whoever they're related to, they're still

one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

All right, let's spread out!

[indistinct chatter]

[Nasiens] Sir Tristan described the knight

as being clad in white armor

adorned with gold decorations, right?

You'd think they'd draw some attention

walking through the streets like that.

What I wanna know is,

how is it possible for the blood relative

of our enemy to be a knight of prophecy?

Well, I'm with you.

Honestly, I'm not so sure

that I can trust this person as an ally.

You agree, right, Percival?

Nuh-uh. Not even a little.

I mean, if you think about it,

my dad is also a knight

who serves under King Arthur,

but that doesn't change the fact

that I wanna give him a butt-kicking!

[Donny] Oh, that's right,

I'd forgotten about that.

-[Nasiens sighs]

-[Anne] What's up, Nasiens?

We've finally managed

to make it to Liones,

but can't catch our breath at all.

We're bombarded with new information,

on top of the current drama,

-it's mentally exhausting.

-You got that right.

I never would've guessed

that the freaking Prince of Liones,

and even Lancelot, would turn out to be

among the Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

Also

what was the sudden change in Percival?

It was quite peculiar.

[Nasiens] What in the world

was that magic and language?

Oh, how rude!

I'm sorry for revisiting that.

[Percival] Back there,

I genuinely thought

that all of you had been k*lled,

and then before I knew it,

my mind went blank.

I don't remember anything I said,

or anything I did. Everything went fuzzy.

[Percival's friends sigh]

But just like the time

Ironside had me down and beat,

it was each one of you

who helped bring me back up.

I guess what I'm actually

trying to say here is,

having you guys by my side

makes me really happy.

-[soft music]

-[all exclaim softly]

Well, obviously. That's actually

kind of a given by now, isn't it?

Come on, my dude.

If we weren't around, you wouldn't know

what to do with yourself, would ya?

[both laugh]

I'm also happy.

Knowing that you,

you know, that you'll always

I'm glad that you'll be my

Your guinea pig!

Uh

-[sighs]

-[laughing]

[Percival] I still can't get over it,

that Lancelot is friends

with someone like Prince Tristan.

[Anne] He thinks he's such a big shot.

I can't believe he was acting

all haughty towards the prince like that.

[Donny] Maybe he's a prince

of another country. Yeah?

[Anne] No way. Absolutely not.

Oh, yeah, that reminds me.

That Chion fella,

we should totally be wary of him.

Did you detect

that he was lying or something?

Yeah, that smug jerk is full of lies!

And he knew what was going on

from the very beginning!

[Anne] He knew full well that Percival was

one of the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,

and he still attacked him with all he had!

[sighs]

Huh?

It's raining.

Are you listening at all?

Ah-choo! [groans]

Come on! Let's go find Gawain

before anyone else does!

[Percival panting]

[Donny] Yeah! The Percival Platoon

is gonna show 'em!

Those losers from the Tristan Platoon

are gonna be toast!

[annoyed groan]

How can he hear all my concerns

to just brush them off

like they're nothing?

[soft chuckle]

-[gasps]

-[thunder rumbling]

[dramatic music]

[Bartra] When the day comes

that the kingdom is blessed with the moon,

a distant thunder and light rain,

prophesied Four Knights of the Apocalypse,

will finally gather together.

However,

assassins of chaos and blades of betrayal

will once again snatch away hope.

[thunder rumbling]

[girl] A mid-summer moon!

Along with the distant roll of thunder

and drizzling rain.

I've been waiting for this moment

for so long!

[closing theme music]

[thunder rumbling]

[citizen 1] I should decide

what I'm going to make for dinner

[citizen 2] Just my luck.

Of course it's raining.

[citizen 3] Today is the day

I finally confess my love for her!

[child] I wonder if Mommy is angry.

[girl] What are you doing

out in the rain all by yourself?

You're gonna catch a cold.

[Lancelot] You'll catch one before me.

Run home and go to bed, little girl.

[both] If you don't get enough sleep,

you won't grow up, you know.

[gasps]

Were you just reading my mind?

[girl grunts] Uppies.

Nuh-uh.

Unlike you, I don't possess

the ability to read minds.

You see, it's just that I already knew

what you were going to say, Lancelot.

How do you know my name?

Who are you?

[Lancelot] Her face, I've seen it before.

You know me

[gasps, grunts]

Watch it.

'Cause I'm your lover, silly!

[Lancelot grunts]

LIONES IN FLAMES
