Godless Revolution Chapter 1 Part 1/Episode 5 - Storyline

Assault

Nimul	...
In the past...

Nimul	Then answer me, Godwolf. Will I be able to liberate my people from sin? Can I remake this world?!
Godwolf Asena	... They who do not stoke the fires of their will have no choices in this world.
Nimul	What do you mean?
Godwolf Asena	If thou hold'st fast to thine will and thine might, it may be...possible.
Emmel	Wh-what?!
Nimul	My powers...can free us from sin!
Godwolf Asena	Alas, should the fires of thine will flicker, in mere moments the flames would spread... And in all likeliness devour the very world.
Nimul	What?!
Godwolf Asena	This world would crumble under the weight of new sins. Nimul... The future that awaits is thine to determine.
The present...

Nimul	(With this new technique...I will obliterate sin from the face of this world!)
Waginau	Chief.
Nimul	What is it, Waginau?
Waginau	You have guests.
Adaleigh	Sup, Chief!
Yna Ku	...
Nimul	Adaleigh...and Yna. What are you two doing here?
Yna Ku	I came to thank you.
Nimul	To thank...me?
Yna Ku	And I was thinking of setting out soon.
Nimul	I...see.
Adaleigh	Well, maybe not that soon. Not, like, right now. It's just that Yna here said he wanted to come with me, so I've started thinking about.
Yna Ku	The blade on which I am currently working will soon be complete. Once it is forged, I will accompany Adaleigh.
Nimul	So you're leaving, too, huh?
Yna Ku	I am interested in learning more about the metal processing techniques of the Acedia Belt Region, and discovering for myself the materials that can be found there. I wish to broaden my horizons.
Adaleigh	It'll probably be another tough journey—but at least I know I can come back now! And I'll be back, for sure! So make sure you complete that new technique of yours before then, yeah?
Nimul	There's no question about it. That is the power that will reshape this world.
Adaleigh	Right. I'm going to improve the Engineer Soldier; make it stronger than ever. Then, together we can—
Nimul	Yes. We will make this world a better place.
Waginau	... (Nimul and Adaleigh... Working together, they might really be able to change this world.)
Yna Ku	...
Waginau	Yes...? What is it, Yna? Surely you don't need to bid me farewell.
Yna Ku	Why do you detest me?
Waginau	What?
Yna Ku	I am asking you why you detest me.
Waginau	Hmph. It is easy for a wanderer like yourself to abandon this place.
Yna Ku	...
Waginau	I am sworn to protect the people of this village and their chief. I simply don't have the time or the patience to spare for someone like you. That's all there is to it.
Yna Ku	I knew it. It must be you.
Waginau	Oh? I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yna Ku	...
Waginau	H-hey! Yna! Don't you walk away from me! Hmph. What a wretched man.

Emmel	...
Julia	Lady Emmel...? The Godwolf Ceremony was concluded safely. So... Please don't look so glum.
Emmel	I'm not sure I agree. Can we be sure everything is fine? My brother might have been made chief, and my bond with Sephiron and her powers has, indeed, been rekindled... But... Oh, Nimul. What was he thinking? Did he really mean all that? What he said about...changing the way of the world?
Julia	Lord Nimul... Ever since he was a child, he has seemed focused on things faraway, distant from this world. I cannot claim to understand anything that he was thinking, but there is one thing I know.
Emmel	Yes...?
Julia	He would never do anything that would bring you suffering.
Emmel	Really? How do you think I felt during the ceremony? He disrespected the avatar of our guardian deity. I was terrified that he would bring divine wrath down upon himself... No, upon all our people. I felt like my heart was going to burst in my chest.
Julia	...
Emmel	Despite all that, he's now our chief. He needs to prove himself dependable. Not only to spare Waginau the trouble, but also... For your sake, Julia.
Julia	L-Lady Emmel! As I have said, I—
Emmel	Hm...?
Julia	Lady Emmel...? Ah!
Black Knight	...
Emmel	Aahh!
Julia	Stay back, my lady! Identify yourself!
Black Knight	...
Emmel	Lila?!
Julia	What?! What have you done to them, you fiend?!
Black Knight	...
Emmel	Wh-why would you do something so terrible? What could you possibly hope to achieve?!
Julia	Answer her!
Black Knight	... I do this for the sake of this world.
Emmel	What?!
Black Knight	You...are the Vessel of Purification.
Emmel	Ah!
Black Knight	You...will be next.
Julia	Lady Emmel! Run!
Black Knight	!
Julia	Nngh!
Emmel	Julia! No!
Julia	M-my lady... Leave this to me! You must...run...now!
Emmel	B-but I...!
Black Knight	You won't escape me.
Julia	!
Black Knight	!
Julia	Ngh... Hrngh! This power...! Run, my lady! Flee! Before it is too late!
Emmel	C-come with me!
Julia	I cannot! I cannot protect you and fend off this fiend at the same time. He is far too powerful. Hurry, my lady! Please!
Emmel	Be safe, Julia!
Julia	Have no fear. I will not allow myself to be so impotent as to abandon my duty before I have seen it done!
Black Knight	You're not going anywhere!
Julia	!
Black Knight	...
Julia	Huzzzaaaaahhhhh!
Black Knight	Out of my way!
Julia	I won't...let you!
Black Knight	!
Julia	How did you get here? This is the village of the Sephira—a sacred land only accessible to our people! What do you want with Lady Emmel?!
Black Knight	I have no reason to answer you.
Julia	Then you leave me no choice... Huzzahhh!
Black Knight	Hrnngh!
Julia	As Lady Emmel's protector, I will show you no mercy!
Black Knight	Arrghh!
Julia	What is your purpose here? What do you want with Lady Emmel? How did you come to be here? Answer me!
Black Knight	With the power of darkness at my command, it was a simple matter to infiltrate your village.
Julia	The power of...darkness?!
Black Knight	Hrrghh!
Julia	No...!
Black Knight	!
Julia	Nnrgh...
Black Knight	It's over.
Julia	What is your purpose here?! Why...? Why would you do something like this?!
Black Knight	The world must not be changed. I will put a stop to any who attempt to alter the way of this world.
Julia	Wh-what?!
Black Knight	There is only one reason for me to take up my blade. And that is, as I have said, to protect this world.
Julia	You...?!

Waginau	...
Nimul	That was quite a show, Adaleigh.
Adaleigh	Heh. It was the least I could do for you. I felt like I owed you something.
Nimul	This airship will traverse the Dark Barrier, and go on to be the medium that links all of the belt regions.
Adaleigh	Yeah...eventually. Not sure when that will happen, though. This is the new model, you know, but it was still a close thing. I barely survived the trip. The old model never would have made it through that barrier. I'm gonna need to make some improvements.
Nimul	I suppose you'll be handling that?
Adaleigh	I'll need to revise the airship's blueprints. Otherwise, I won't be able to get the budget for making the Engineer Soldier.
Waginau	What do you mean?
Adaleigh	Well, over in the Acedia Belt Region, we need our airships. People get that, but...they don't feel the same way about my Engineer Soldier. It doesn't get the same level of support.
Waginau	Why not? That Soldier of yours is immune to the corruption. It can fight without fear of becoming Fallen!
Adaleigh	They know it can fight...but they don't want to resort to fighting. They're just waiting for the earthquakes to stop on their own. The Engineer Soldier just isn't what they're looking for.
Nimul	Adaleigh...
Adaleigh	But since coming here, I've finally been able to prove that the Engineer Soldier is useful! I'm gonna tell everyone back home all about it, and make them see that the soldier is worth having around!
Waginau	Sounds like you're in for a rough time, even after your voyage is done.
Adaleigh	Well... Yeah. It's gonna be that way for a while. But not forever! Right, Nimul?
Nimul	Right. I have every faith that things will get better. (If we can just eliminate sin...I can finally free Emmel.) (I must lead this mad world into it's rightful form.) Hm...?!
Waginau	Ah!
Adaleigh	What's wrong?!
Nimul	...
Waginau	Show yourselves!
Dark Soldiers	Argh!
Dark Soldier	!
Waginau	Nnrgh!
Nimul	Waginau!
Waginau	Be on your guard, Nimul! They are not to be taken lightly!
Nimul	Tch! What is going on?!
Later...
Adaleigh	Who the hell are these guys?!
Nimul	I don't know.
Waginau	Nimul, we must warn the villagers. I will alert the Sephira Guard.
Nimul	Right. What could they possibly hope to gain by attacking the village?
???	Urrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Adaleigh	Wh-what the hell was that?!
Waginau	Th-that was...!


Nimul	No! Sephiron!
Waginau	Is that...corruption?!
Nimul	Impossible... The Cursed Beast has—!
???	Nimul! Waginau!
Nimul	Emmel!
Emmel	H-help! Julia is...!
Nimul	What?!
