Just like switching channels

I was trying to escape from the reality before my eyes

Still not knowing the meaning of freedom

I'm held back by the rules that I cannot see

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I want to see what kind of future only I can build for myself

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

I cannot simply stop, so I call upon the hidden sun

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want a burning passion within me that is greater than anyone 's

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

And have even distant dreams shine forth everywhere

GO TO THE LIGHT

I want to embrace a strength that can wipe away all frustrations

Over the many dawns

In order to find out what it is to be me

I didn't expect it to be finished already.

What's that?

It's the Lacour Hope. I developed it!

This machine will get rid of all the monsters at once.

The Lacour Hope...

There were signs that monsters had already infiltrated the castle...

...so I hid it before they imprisoned me.

I‘m impressed, Dr. Leon.

However, the power source for the Lacour Hope...

...Energy Stone, cannot be found here.

Where can we find it?

At the ancient city that sleeps, the Hoffman Ruins.

Hoffman Ruins?

The Hoffman Ruins are located to the north of the city.

The last time I went there to investigate...

...I found an Energy Stone.

And after bringing it back and analyzing it...

...I realized that it could be used to power the Lacour Hope.

I see.

Immediately go to the Hoffman Ruins...

...and bring back an Energy Stone!

Yes, sir!

Only I know where to find an Energy Stone among the ruins.

I'll go and get some.

But you are the top intellect of our nation.

Should anything happen to you...

Then have that guy escort me there!

He made it to the Armor Tournament Finals...

...so I imagine he's quite tough.

He's not "that guy", he‘s Claude.

Claude C. Kenni.

He's older than you.

So at least call him by his name!

Precis...

Never mind me.

Rena!

Celine!

And...

I'm Precis!

What about me?

We're going by boat?

The ruins are near the river's mouth.

Don‘t worry. It won't take too long.

He makes me so mad!

I had no idea Dr. Leon was such an obnoxious brat!

Claude should've refused to escort him!

But it was also a request from King Lacour.

He couldn't exactly turn them down.

I should've gone with them.

That sound...

Hey!

Dr. Bowman!

Great to see you guys.

You came here on my Mecha Horse!

Huh? But this Mecha-Horse...

You noticed.

I had your father modify it.

It's now amphibious.

Wow.

Leon!

Huh?

I see.

So Claude is away.

Yes.

But I'm sure he'll be back soon.

Is something the matter?

There's something I have to tell you all.

Does it have to do with that book I handed you?

Then I'll go bring him back on this Mecha-Horse!

I'II catch up in no time!

Oh, I'll go too!

Wait! Don't leave me here!

I-I'm going too, Precis!

Those guys...

Claude!

Rena!

We're coming to get you!

Leave it to me!

Let's do it, Gyoro! Ururun!

My sword will finish you off!

Awesome.

Are you all right, Claude?

We were so worried!

No one was watching!

- Take care of yourself! - Goodbye! We‘re on our way!

Reall ? You saw Dr. Bowman? y

I'm sorry, Rena.

I got you involved in this as well.

It‘s okay. I don‘t mind.

Rena...

Are you that upset about being saved?

I never asked to be saved!

Then should we not have saved you?

I'm just saying, don't think you've earned my respect!

You really get on my nerves!

Must be nice. Seems like such fun.

How come?

Last time I was here, I could get inside, no problem!

With all the unusual events going on worldwide.

It looks like this is no exception.

Leon!

This should be big enough.

Watch out!

Leon!

Don‘tjust sit there! Grab my hand!

Right.

Ready?

Ow...

You all right?

It worked!

Thank goodness.

A building this size should have other entrances.

You've been here before, right?

Ijust took an Energy Stone. I didn‘t check out the building.

Unbelievable. You're not all there, are you?

I guess you‘re still a kid!

D-Don't you dare call me a kid!

If I had the time, I would've checked the building out!

But I'm a crewmember, too.

I can analyze a device like this.

I see...

Leon's a lot like me.

Like me back then.

Rena!

Your chest is glowing!

m

Wow! Your pendant is glowing!

What's going on?

I don‘t know.

This has never happened before.

Let me see.

Why, this is an Energy Stone.

m

There's no mistake about it!

And of very high purity!

Where'd you get this?

I've had it since I was little.

"Stones call out to other stones."

A treasure hunter I once knew said something like that.

Then Rena‘s pendant...

...is reacting to an Energy Stone inside the building?

Probably.

It's getting brighter and brighter.

We must be getting close.

It's reacting the strongest right about here.

Step back.

Here.

What do you think?

Leon!

Hope you‘re not hurt.

Th-Thank you, sir.

I've seen that man somewhere.

Now that you mention it...

Ernest!

How do you know my name?

I see.

You met Opera.

Yes.

Even now, she's somewhere on this planet searching for you.

Opera...

That's an awfully detailed map.

It's my specialty.

Over there!

Found it! Energy Stone!

I've wondered about these stones.

I had no idea what they were.

Watch out!

It‘s the monster from before! Damn! When did it get in?!

Ururun, let's do it!

Gyoro!

It's no use!

It has no effect!

So an electric shock works!

Well, it'll momentarily slow it down!

We have to get through its tough shell...

...or we won't defeat it!

If only we could use Acid Rain against it.

Acid Rain?

There's a Heraldic Magic spell for Acid Rain.

I heard before that Leon was capable of using Acid Rain.

Huh?

N-No, I can't.

Have you forgotten the spell?

I remember the spell.

But, but...

I've never fought a monster like that!

There's no way I can pull it off!

In the name of Naras, the King of Steel...

...gather all things together in nature!

Anti!

You fool!

Wh-What did you do that for?!

We‘ve all got to give it everything we've got!

If you don't want to be treated like a kid, then help out!

All of us were afraid when we faced a monster for the first time.

But people in Lacour are waiting for your return.

As long as there are people waiting for you...

...you can‘t escape from any situation!

People are waiting for my return?

That's right!

You‘re the only one capable of completing the Lacour Hope, right?

At first I was disappointed to see that you're more of a child than me.

But I always thought your inventions were fantastic.

So please! Show me that you can be a man, Dr. Leon!

No! I can't hold on any longer!

Guys, try to hold him off a little while longer!

Leon?

I'll give it a try!

Thou pure thing residing in Mother Ocean.

Give birth to a deeper nucleus than the nucleus itself.

You're not getting any closer!

Run across the heavens and gather your blessings.

Thunder Bolt!

Become my thought's desire and sweep away...

...the disgraceful being before me.

Guys! Get away from the monster!

Acid Rain!

Kuhazan!

We did it.

Way to go!

I'll give you some credit for that.

Thanks.

Huh?

N-Nothing!

Leon.

You've succeeded in getting it.

I did?

Thank you.

But where did you pick up such a skill?

I was born with it.

Born with it?

Are you...?

No. Never mind.

Are you continuing on yourjourney?

Yeah.

But Ms. Opera's looking for you.

She's been searching in places I‘m likely to visit.

That's why I must continue.

Our hearts are one.

We'll meet each other again!

How beautiful!

Hearts...

Should our paths cross, we'll meet then.

Yes!

We‘ll meet again, for sure!

Good. You're back.

Hey! Welcome back!

Dr. Bowman!

King Lacour.

This is an Energy stone.

I can now complete the Lacour Hope.

Good job.

Is something wrong?

Well...

Ifinally succeeded in deciphering a part...

...of the book you guys brought.

It was quite a shocking message.

Shocking?

"Following a great calamity, a black moon will appear.

And when that black moon disappears...

...the planet will perish."

The planet will perish?

I believe "calamity" refers to the Sorcery Globe.

I'm unsure what "black moon" refers to.

Just that...

Unless we do something quick, this planet will perish!

We haven't a moment to spare!

Get the Lacour Hope out to the front line quickly!

I'll go!

Leon?!

However, you're...

I'm the one who knows the most about the Lacour Hope!

Leave it to me!

You will help me, right? Claude?

Of course!

I'm returning to Linga.

I'll be in touch when I finish deciphering the rest of the book.

We'll wait to hear from you.

Maybe I'll go back with you!

E231]

Why?! How come?!

I'm kind of worried about my dad.

And I also want to make changes to the Mecha-Horse.

Precis.

I understand.

I think you‘re making the right choice.

I agree.

Rena.

Claude can be kind of slow...

...so you've got to be bolder with him!

P-Precis...

Let's get going!

Thanks for everything.

Take care, Precis.

Naturally!

And don't get depressed just because I'm not with you!

You heard her, Ashton.

I‘m already lonely!

See ya!

You wanted to go with them, didn't you?

The bottom line is, I'm still just a kid!

I don‘t have super abilities like Leon...

...so I'd just be holding them back.

You're very much an adult to understand that.

HEART TO HEART

Iwant to turn the switch on to my soul and wipe away my tears

Ican feel the wind blowing freely across my body

I'll take my love and thank you into the future

Who am Isupposed to thank for the miracle of meeting you?

I want to be proud of having someone so important

I want to be proud of having someone so important

Everyone has things that they want to hide

We 're notjust live mannequins, after all

Reality is not a game

You can 't cop out and reset it

I want to turn the switch on to my soul and be happy

I want to embrace kindness as many times as I kiss

Let's all cherish the dreams we have for this town

As yesterday came to nothing, the future is about to begin

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

However the days go, Iwill continue to live with my eyes wide open

I'm Claude C. Kenni.

Upon arriving at Haynes Fortress...

...we're arrested for suspicion of espionage.

We can‘t defeat the monsters if we're arguing amongst ourselves!

Especially the demons!

Aren't you Yuki?

It's Yuki!
