01x11 - Prepare for Battle -Orpheus-

[bunniefuu]

Cold sleep?

It's a way to buy time.

While Takt and Destiny sleep
in a low-temperature state,

I'll find a way to treat them.

Even if it takes years or decades.

I'm sorry.

This is the most I can do right now.

Is their condition that critical?

Yes.

Especially with Takt,
there's no time to wait.

If we don't do anything,

he might not last another month.

I got it.

I trust you Lotte.

Therefore, please let me help too.

I'm willing to do whatever I can.

Anna...

Thank you.

First,

we need to talk to them properly.

What's happening? An earthquake?

At the New York Symphonica,
huge objects suddenly appeared overnight.

They're still gradually expanding,

and expl*si*n-like sounds
can be heard every now and then.

The Symphonica still hasn't

issued a statement.

New York City authorities
are discussing the situation,

and urging citizens to stay calm.

It's Sagan, right?

Maestro, Anna and Lotte didn't come home.

-What do you mean?
-The NYPD...

are attempting to assess the damage

and working to coordinate a response.

Lotte told me that
she has something important to tell me.

So, I will go to the Symphonica.

You guys can get some rest first.

No way...

Are they in there?

I won't let you pass.

This way is blocked too.

Let's go back.

Lotte, do you know another way?

Well, the only option left

is the west elevator.

But I don't know if it's still working.

Let's go check it out.

How long has passed?

It's already morning.

Rescue might have arrived.

Lotte, are you tired?

Do you want to rest for a while?

I'm fine.

You've been walking for so long.
You must be tired...

Help!

Sorry, Lotte.

I'm going to need you to work hard here.

This is the emergency passage.

It leads directly
to the center of the Symphonica.

Once we get there,
we're bound to find enemies.

You both consumed
a lot of energy last night.

So I'll help you out.

Please prioritize your safety first.

Aren't you pretty banged up too?

Dr. Schneider's lab is in

the western part of the research facility.

After we rescue them,

you two take this passage back

and get to safety.

What about you?

Are you going to find Sagan?

As long as he's out there,
this chaos will never end.

And the things Maestro wanted to protect,

the things he fought his whole life for,

will all be lost.

For his sake, I have to end this here.

Ready for another job?

Yes.

After I confirm
that Anna and Lotte are safe,

let's go and stop Sagan.

You can't just decide...

If we come too,
we will definitely defeat Sagan.

Don't worry about us, Titan.

This is a task left unfinished
by my mentor.

I won't ignore it.

If you slow me down,
I'll leave you behind.

Maybe you misunderstood.

We're going to find Sagan
on our own accord.

It's not like we're following you.

It's really hard to like you two.

Just as expected.

Takt, Destiny.

Let's do this.

We can't go this way either.

All right, let's keep searching.

Anna, don't strain yourself.

-Leave me here...
-I'm fine.

I won't give up.

There's so much we still have to do.

Anna...

No way...

They just keep on coming.

It's endless.

It reminds me of the popcorn
we ate in the park yesterday.

That store had so many different flavors.

It was truly splendid.

I doubt these guys are very tasty.

Caramel, chocolate, strawberry,

apple cinnamon,
butterscotch, crispy almond...

Enough already.

Where else did you go?

A pancake shop.

Anna and Lotte wanted to go back first,

so Maestro and I went together.

Just the two of you?

Shut up. Don't waste your energy talking.

Let's rush forward in one go.

Maestro?

Over here!

Valkyrie?

-Are you all right?
-Lotte!

You're...

Maestro.

Takt.

How long was I out?

Not long.

About four or five minutes.

Let's go.

Why are you still in this outfit?

Get ready now.

Maestro.

Takt, are you really okay?

Of course, I'm not.

We haven't achieved a single thing yet.

We've got to hurry.

Right, let's finish this thing already.

Valkyrie!

Damn you!

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Special delivery!

Thank you for saving my sisters.

Can you still fight?

Of course.

Titan!

Keep that thing distracted.

Roger that.

Don't give it a second, Valkyrie.

Explode!

Unleash the sound, Destiny.

-Destiny.
-Sister Anna.

What's wrong with your face?

What has happened?

I don't have time to explain it to you.

You're not involved.

Of course, I'm involved!

I'm a Musicart at the Symphonica.

I'm obliged to resolve this situation.

You're the one
who's a complete outsider, aren't you?

Why have you charged in here...

Sorry, Valkyrie,

you're being a bit loud.

Titan.

Take a short rest,
then bring Anna and Lotte to a safe place.

And Valkyrie too.

Please.

Okay.

After getting them out,
I'll catch up with you.

Please keep my sisters safe.

What are you doing?

Destiny and I are going
to end all this nonsense.

Do you understand the condition you're in?

Of course.

You'll die, idiot!

Yes,

I know.

Then, there's no time.

You need to come back with us now.

If we go now, we might make it.

Lotte will find a way
to save you and Destiny.

It might not be possible now,

but one day you'll recover.

And we can all live together again.

I'll do my best on my own until then.

So...

Don't go.

It's been a long time
since you last scolded me like this.

Anna.

I want to protect music.

Back in that house,
I tried to protect music on my own.

But, I was wrong.

The memories and emotions
of the people I've spent time with,

everything they've given me,
will become my music.

Dad, Cosette, Lenny.

And you.

I want our music to live on in the future.

If I don't do anything,
that's never going to happen.

That's why I have to go.

That's all.

Anna,

thank you...

for everything.

-Anna...
-Shut up, you piano idiot!

You never listen to me,
you decide everything on your own.

I have no idea why I kissed you.

What am I doing?

What exactly are you doing?

Destiny.

Make sure you bring him home.

Even if he looks like a beat-up old rag.

As long as he's still alive,
Lotte will think of a way to fix him.

I will, I promise.

I'll be sure to bring Maestro back.

You don't have to worry.

All right, we need to go.

Maestro, you don't speak at all anymore.

What?

Are you so worn out
you don't have the energy to talk?

There's no need to act tough.

If you're too tired, I can carry you.

Are you joking?

I can't believe you'd say
such a stupid thing after all this.

We've been together for so long.

Do I still have to explain
every little thing to you?

Figure it out already.

You're right.

Then allow me to verbalize for you

the real reason for your silence,

which I figured out myself.

Stop. That's not what I meant.

If I've got anything wrong,
please correct me.

Just now, Sister Anna gave you...

That's enough.

I know what you're going to say.

There's no need to say any more.

Just be quiet!

Maestro, your whole face has gone red.

Shut up!

You came.

Since you're here,

it means Sagan is right ahead.

If you get in the way,
I won't show any mercy.

Did you hear that, Heaven?

My name is Orpheus.

Go on, raise your weapon.

And never look back.
