01x20 - Taming a Wild Horse

[bunniefuu]

-[Pellegarde] Can it be?

-Does this mean

-All of them are finally in one place

-[Anne] Mm-hm.

[Pellegarde laughing hysterically]

[Pellegarde] Look!

My body's trembling with excitement!

I get it now. So you are the ones.

The four calamities that were prophesied.

The ones who will destroy Camelot,

the great kingdom

built by King Arthur himself.

The Four Knights of the Apocalypse.

[theme music]

[Pellegarde]

Well, well, what an incredible delight!

Never in my wildest dreams

did I imagine I'd be honored

with a chance to meet the Four Knights

of the Apocalypse here today.

Wait, what?

[Gawain] So these individuals

are knights of prophecy like myself?

They've turned this thing around!

Come on, guys.

Bring that b*stard down already!

[Pellegarde] How precarious.

What to do now?

[Lancelot] Hey, old man.

[Pellegarde] Hmm?

Didn't I just tell you?

Now's your chance to get out of here.

[gasps]

-[Tristan] Absolutely not!

-Huh?

Would you really

just let our enemy get away?

We have to apprehend him

and make him our c*ptive!

What difference would that make?

[Lancelot] That geezer exudes

a dangerous aura,

but he's no threat to us.

That isn't the point!

None of that changes the fact

that this man is our enemy!

-[Lancelot groans]

-What would you do, Lady Gawain?

Don't you think it's outrageous

to let the enemy slip out of our grasp?

Right? Don't you agree?

Hmm. All right then. I'll execute him.

Huh?

Referring to me as a little girl

is a grave offense I cannot ignore.

[Gawain] Such disrespectful words

deserve nothing short of death.

[Pellegarde] Huh?

No, no, you don't have to go that far.

This won't end well.

-[footsteps]

-Hmm?

[Lancelot] Percy, what are you

[Pellegarde] Now that you have

dependable allies with you,

has your fighting spirit suddenly lifted?

It hasn't,

but I still don't want to fight you!

[Pellegarde] Hmm?

You see,

unlike with my dad and King Arthur.

I can't bring myself

to hate you, Pellegarde!

[Pellegarde] Hmm

Oh, no, Percival.

Wha what on earth

is he even saying right now?

Sure you'll probably laugh

in my face for saying that

when I don't know anything about you,

but somehow,

I just know that you're not a bad person.

[Pellegarde] Yet earlier, you implied

that I'm on the side of the wicked.

Yeah, that's true, but still

I mean, is what I'm saying wrong?

[Pellegarde] Hmm

So are you saying you want me to cut ties

with my lord and join your side?

Is that what you're suggesting?

[gasps] Mm. Yeah!

You will, won't you?

[Pellegarde grunts]

[Tristan exclaims]

[all gasp]

[Pellegarde] Sorry!

Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.

-Let go of Percival right now!

-[Pellegarde grunts]

[grunting]

[Pellegarde] Come, come.

There we go!

Well, I guess I'll take your advice

and retreat while I can!

-[Pellegarde laughing]

-[Percival screaming]

You won't get away!

[Pellegarde] Take this, as a parting gift.

Perfect Cube.

[grunts]

[Tristan] Oh, no!

A Perfect Cube, huh?

-[all pant]

-Crap! At this rate

[Nasiens] Percival!

[Percival] How could you

deceive me like this, you liar?

[Pellegarde]

And just when did I deceive you?

[Percival] You were acting

like you totally understood me

a few moments ago!

[Pellegarde] Oh! That was no act, kid.

In fact, it became quite clear

how hopelessly naive you are.

[Percival groaning angrily]

[Pellegarde] However, that's just

another quality that endears me to you.

Huh?

-[Pellegarde laughing]

-[Percival] Whatever!

Just let go of me,

you big, dumb blockhead!

[Pellegarde] Hey, quit your struggling!

Hold still now! Whoa!

[Donny] Ugh! Damn it!

Not this thing again!

This is the same trap

that confined Lancelot in the forest.

[Nasiens] Yes, but before,

he used an incantation orb

to make the cube disappear.

There has to be some other way

to get out of it, right?

-[Pelio] Yes, in fact there is.

-[all] Hmm?

However, in order to dismantle the cube,

highly advanced magic is required.

[frustrated groan]

Ah! What an awful blunder!

How could we allow Percival

to be kidnapped right before our eyes!

Why didn't you attack right when that man

grabbed hold of him and took off?

With your magic

But Percy would've gotten caught

in the crossfire.

[Tristan groans]

[Lancelot] And anyway,

that old man seemed

to genuinely hesitate

after hearing Percy's words.

With your permission,

we will return to the castle

and fetch Lady Thetis at once!

Thanks for that, Sir Pelio!

[Gawain] Hmm

Conte distrad zordior berialuin.

-[all gasp]

-[Anne] But how?

Lady Gawain, did you

N-No, my top priority now

should be catching them!

That magic you just used,

it's Absolute Cancel, right?

So tell the truth, who are you?

[Gawain] Respond to my will,

Sacred sword Litta.

Come on, Lancelot!

We gotta go after those guys right now!

Nah, if we just leave it to Tristan,

everything will be okay.

[Percival's friends gasp]

-[Donny splutters]

-Where'd she go?

Stop right there!

Hey, Tristan's here!

[Pellegarde] Oh! So you can keep up

with my flying shield, huh?

[gasps]

Hmm? I sense magic from up ahead too.

A sword?

[dramatic music]

-What? Where did you

-[Percival] Huh?

Weren't you listening earlier?

I'm your executioner.

[Pellegarde]

You'll bring down your ally too!

So what do I care?

[dramatic music continues]

[Pellegarde grunts]

-[squelches]

-[stunned gasp]

[Pellegarde groans]

[grunts]

[Gawain] It's over.

[shouts] Don't do it!

-[soft chuckle]

-[Percival grunts]

[dramatic music continues]

Pellegarde!

[Pellegarde screaming]

[effort grunting]

[effort grunting]

-[yelps]

-[Pellegarde groans]

Are you okay?

[Pellegarde] Good grief.

You're astonishingly stupid.

Why on earth did you help your enemy?

Well, you protected me, didn't you?

[Pellegarde] What's wrong

with protecting someone I'm fond of?

You're weird, mister.

[Pellegarde] You're one to talk! Ow!

[groans in pain]

[gasps]

[grunts]

I'm a direct descendant

from a long line of royalty.

Defying someone like me

is akin to defying heaven itself.

[chokes in pain]

[Gawain] Know your place!

[grunts]

Stop right there! Isn't that enough?

Do not dare stand in my way,

Prince Tristan.

That small friend of yours assaulted me

while I was trying to defeat an enemy.

That's not true!

In your attempt to strike

the Knight of Chaos,

you knew Percival would be hit as well!

It's hard for you to let go

of small matters, isn't it?

It must be so exhausting.

Now out of my way.

[Tristan] Surely you're satisfied.

[Gawain] I'm more than capable

of deciding that for myself.

He's like us!

Percival is a knight of prophecy.

It's wrong to harm each other

when we're allies!

And that's exactly

what bothers me in the first place.

As someone of my pedigree,

being lumped into the same category

as you and this little kid

is nothing but humiliating for me.

And allies? That's nothing more than

an excuse for the weak to band together.

You should keep this in mind.

Only someone stronger than me

is allowed to command me

and influence what I do.

In truth, there's not a person alive

who meets that condition

since I'm a perfect and flawless specimen.

But if you disagree,

demonstrate it with power.

Unless of course, the swords at your sides

are merely decoration.

[Tristan grunts]

But my swords will not be used

against an ally!

How cowardly.

[Tristan grunts]

Tell him you're sorry!

Tristan is a kind person

who helped me and my friends

when we were complete strangers,

though it placed him in direct danger!

Now you've made really me angry!

Grandpa told me to call

unruly girls like you,

um, I mean, you should be called, uh

No, Percival!

Don't provoke her any further!

[Percival] Uh, what was that saying again?

Um [nervous groan]

That's right! Like a wild horse,

you're just a big me

[thwacks]

[tense music]

[gasps]

[Pellegarde] I will be the one

to discipline you.

[running steps]

[thunder rumbling]

So, uh, are you sure

we don't have to go after those two?

Not until something happens.

Something's already happened.

But don't you care

that Percival has been kidnapped?

[Lancelot] Now then,

let's see what they've got.

[Pellegarde groaning]

But why, Pellegarde?

With that injury, you

[Pellegarde] I thought

why not give her a little head start?

And besides,

the effect from the weird magic

that Pelio guy hit me with

seems to have worn off.

You're a slippery one, aren't you?

Have you come

so I can finish you off once and for all?

[Percival and Pellegarde yelling]

She's uncontrollable.

Please, Gawain, stop it!

[Gawain] Burn to ash, armor and all.

[both grunting]

[groans]

[Pellegarde] Don't underestimate me,

little girl.

[scoffs] Bullshit.

[Pellegarde yells]

[clanking]

[screaming]

[Percival] Pellegarde!

[gasps]

-[Pellegarde grunts]

-[Percival] Is he blocking her attacks?

-Not quite. He's parrying each one.

-Huh?

[Tristan] Though he's our foe,

he does possess formidable power.

Lady Gawain's attacks certainly carry

incredible force and speed, but

[Pellegarde] Too predictable. [grunts]

[Gawain gasps]

As you are now, you can't beat me.

-[thwacks]

-Take that!

[both gasp]

[thuds]

[Pellegarde] You're not

a knight of prophecy for nothing.

The amount of potential within you

is fearsome.

However, you're but a mere rank amateur

whose abilities have yet

to catch up to that potential.

Perfect and flawless?

How absurd!

You're not harnessing your abundant power

to its full potential.

Instead, you're simply being controlled

by the power you don't know how to wield.

Ugh. If it weren't me taking you on,

this would've been

your final resting place.

You must first acknowledge

that you are an inexperienced little girl,

and dedicate yourself to training!

If you care to live, that is.

[growling]

[angry groaning]

[both gasp]

[Pellegarde chuckles]

[Gawain crying]

[comical music]

[Percival] Uh

Huh?

[Pellegarde] As long as you fancy yourself

to be the greatest in the world,

it's proof

that you still have much to learn.

By humbling yourself

and acknowledging this defeat,

it will go a long way in contributing

[groans]

[yelling] Nuh-uh! Nuh-uh! Nuh-uh!

I have not lost!

No way! I am invincible!

I am the strongest fighter ever!

[Pellegarde] Hey! You should listen

to what I'm saying, little girl!

Good grief.

She's like an out of control wild horse!

[Percival] Aw, man,

now you've gone and made her cry.

[Pellegarde] Surely, I'm not in the wrong!

-[Gawain wailing]

-[chuckles]

[Pellegarde] Jeez. This is no fun.

I will take my leave for today.

Unless

Will you fight me?

I will not engage in a serious fight

against someone who's injured.

Regardless, I am in your debt

because you helped Percival.

However, there will not be

a next time for you.

[Pellegarde] I understand.

You have a respectable sense of chivalry.

[Gawain continues wailing]

Now come here!

All right.

See you, Percival!

Next time we meet,

I'll make you my pupil for sure!

Prepare yourself!

No way! Bleh!

[Pellegarde groaning] Sheesh.

That was a rough ordeal.

Huh?

-[mini Percival] Heal, heal, heal.

-[Pellegarde chuckles]

[Pellegarde] Silly boy.

I wouldn't have lost if he hadn't hit me

with that cheap counterattack

like a big cheater!

It's not fair! [wailing]

How dare he do this to me!

Oh come on, stop crying already.

Honestly, who cares if you [screams]

-[Gawain continues wailing]

-[grunts]

My grandpa and grandma always told me

I'm stronger than anyone,

I'm the best in the world!

-Of course they did and I agree with them.

-Huh?

[Tristan] Today just happened to be a day

where you were off your game, right?

[sniffles]

Come on now. Your clothes will get dirty.

Let's get you on your feet.

[Gawain whimpers] Okay.

I'm sure you can win next time.

[Gawain] You really think so?

Yes.

-[Gawain] A-Am I invincible?

-Yes!

[Gawain] A-And am I the strongest?

Yes, of course you are!

Come, let us make

a triumphant return to Liones!

It would be regrettable if it's believed

that I struggled

against a small fry like him.

[Gawain chuckles]

[Percival] You didn't struggle.

He kicked your bu

Shh!

Don't you worry! I guarantee

no one doubts that you overwhelmed

the enemy, Lady Gawain.

[laughs]

You really do have a good eye

for these things, you know!

[both laugh]

[Percival] I was wondering how he managed

to get a girl like her

to come along, but

And you, little boy.

I'll forget about

your blow to my face earlier,

and keep the peace

for the sake of Prince Tristan.

My name is not "little boy",

it's Percival!

And I couldn't care less

if you don't forgive me!

[Gawain] What was that?

[Tristan] Percival! Patience!

-[Gawain] I dare you to say that again!

-[thuds]

[Percival] Until a moment ago,

you were crying and wailing like a baby

-because you lost!

-[Gawain grunts angrily]

[Gawain] I'm not a baby!

I'm 16 and an adult!

[Percival] Yeah, well, I'm 16 too,

so we're in the same boat!

[Tristan] There, there, both of you!

I can feel Pellegarde's aura

slowly fading away.

And Percival?

He, Tristan, and Gawain are together.

That means he's safe!

Whoa, seriously?

So the three of them managed

to take down that armored old freak show?

[Lancelot] No. It seems he managed

to get away at the last minute.

I'm surprised you know all that.

It's as if you can see them.

Are you sensing that something's wrong?

All that flashy magic Pellegarde was using

kept me from noticing afar,

but I sense some strange magic now.

[gasps]

[Lancelot] You guys wait for Percy

and the others and bring them to me.

I'm gonna head to the castle.

[Anne] Lancelot! Where are you going?

Where the heck is he off to? The bathroom?

Not everyone's like you.

[suspenseful music]

It's you two then.

The pair of suspicious individuals

we were getting reports about.

[captain] If you cooperate quietly

during our questioning,

there won't be any trouble.

You can start by removing your robes

and showing us your faces!

[woman 1] There are

plenty more Holy Knights of Liones

aside from these folks.

Never underestimate them.

[woman 2] Remember

who you're talking to, lowly human.

Are you even aware of the location

our target is currently holed up in?

[woman 1] Yes, I'd like to think

I know more about Liones

than anyone else in Camelot. [laughs]

[woman 2]

Then go and finish your task already.

[all gasp]

Damn it all! Give chase!

[woman 2] You might focus

on the opponents behind you.

[all gasp]

[ominous music]

Heed me, forces of Chaos,

bestow new life upon this world.

Return the soul of my comrade

lost in purgatory,

and allow them to arise anew.

[ominous music continues]

[nervous grunt]

What is this incredible magic?

[woman 2] Together, let us seek vengeance

against those who have humiliated us.

Oh comrade once known as

one of the Ten Commandments with me.

Don't let her finish, men!

[rumbling]

[electricity buzzing]

[dramatic music]

[all scream]

[growling]

[knight] This is bad! Take her down now!

[man exclaims, laughs]

[woman 2 chuckles]

[objects clattering]

[assistant] Doctor?

[Hendrickson] Impossible.

This ominous magic is identical

to what emerged 16 years ago.

[Dreyfus] It can't be.

They were supposed to be taken down

by the Seven Deadly Sins.

[dramatic music continues]

But how?

[heavy breathing]

Your Majesty!

This is urgent, Your Majesty!

[Meliodas] Of all the people,

they dared to resurrect them.

Men! Do not falter!

Just who the hell are you people?

We are servants of Chaos,

I am Chaos Melascula.

And I'm Chaos Galland.

King Arthur has blessed us

with immense power.

The Seven Deadly Sins

and the Four Knights of the Apocalypse,

we've come to send them to hell!

[closing theme music]

THE FOUR KNIGHTS VS

THE SERVANTS OF CHAOS
