THE DRAGON MASTERS APPROACH

Thank you for coming.

I've been waiting.

It's been years since we three have gathered.

To require all of us must mean something big is going on.

Has the time come to burn the world?

My son, Dino, is alive.

Master Dino?!

The Hero Dai, who fights the Dark Army is my son, Dino.

What a cruel twist of fate.

I've already fought the party he leads.

Their bond of unity was stronger than I anticipated, and I sustained some wounds.

You were wounded?!

So that's why you came to Argo Point.

This is where the Fountain of Miracles that heals Dragon Knights is located.

That wasn't my only reason.

He means his wife.

We understand, Master Baran. You need our help to reclaim Master Dino.

Exactly. My son has some troublesome allies.

They would risk death for Dai, the Hero.

Especially the two Legion Commanders who betrayed the Dark Army.

Beast King Crocodine and Dark Swordsman Hyunckel are not to be underestimated.

You're joking!

No Legion Commander of the Dark Army aside from you could stand up to us!

You may be the most powerful Dragon Riders of all Darklings and Beastlings,

but humans can display terrifying strength when they're prepared to die.

If his allies should resist, you three must crush them.

In the meantime, I shall reclaim my son.

Yes, Master!

I must prepare for battle. Wait for me here.

Master Baran is ever the cautious one.

They're just a few humans and a couple of traitors.

Watch your tongue, Galdandy!

Indeed. They say a lion does not hold back when killing a hare.

Don't forget his caution has made our glorious Dragon Legion undefeated.

I get it already.

Soala, this time I shall get Dino back...

from those filthy humans!

The Dragon Legion shall now head to Teran Kingdom!

When my son, Dino, joins us, our strength shall be absolute!

Yes, Master!

Follow me!

What a surprise.

With everyone calling you "Princess," I wondered who you were.

So you're the ruler of Papnica.

Otherwise, small as Teran may be, its king would not so easily hear us.

His Majesty will see you know.

He is not feeling well and asks that you forgive an audience in his chambers.

That's fine.

I'll wait outside. Call me when you're done.

I see.

So that supernatural storm was caused by the Dragon Knight.

And this child is the Dragon Knight's son.

It may have been a Psychic Signal that took his memories.

A Psychic Signal?

Think of it as a mental wave emitted from the Dragon Crest.

How can we restore his memory?

I do not know.

We merely worship the God of Dragons.

We know of the Dragon Knight, but not of the full breadth of its powers.

I see.

Then will you let us use this castle to shelter Dai?

You still seek to fight?

We do.

The people of Teran may think of Baran's attack as divine will,

but it's an aggression against humanity.

We will fight against aggression.

I see. I had heard of the bravery of the Princess of Papnica.

Kanar.

Your Majesty!

You will aid Princess Leona.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Tell me, are you the famed Seer...?

Yes. I am Nabara.

And this one?

This is my granddaughter, Merle.

Come closer.

Huh?

Yes, Your Majesty.

You possess power beyond that of your grandmother's.

Indeed. Recently, she's been able to sense things I cannot.

Your power shall soon show you terrifying and horrible things to come.

What?!

Do not resent your power.

It shall eventually help save humanity.

Trust that that day shall come and live strong.

Yes, Your Majesty.

What's wrong?!

It's coming! An energy of such wrath! Straight for this country!

You mean Baran?!

He's coming already?!

That's not all!

Other similar energies... Three of them!

What are you doing?!

Let me out! Let me out of here!

Isn't a prison cell going too far?

But this is the deepest, most impregnable place in the castle.

But...

Let me out! Let me out!

Young lady, do you know what "imprinting" is?

Huh?

It's when an animal hatches from its egg,

and assumes the first thing it sees is its parent.

Baran's reduced Dai to a state of a newly hatched infant.

If Dai encounters Baran now, he'll probably accept Baran as his father.

They bear the same mark as irrefutable proof.

It's cruel, but this is the only way to prevent that.

We'll take care of the rest. Please guard the king.

I'm sorry I could not do more.

Dai...

They're headed straight for Teran from the southeast.

Can you show them, Old Lady?

I think so.

Who are they?!

These are the three sources of energy aside from Baran?

Could they be the Dragon Masters?!

The Dragon Masters?

The most powerful Dragon Riders that serve Baran.

With Dragons under their control, they're said to rival even the Legion Commanders.

You mean he's brought three guys each as strong as you?!

We may not be strong enough to hold them back.

Fighting Baran alone was difficult enough.

If only Hyunckel was here.

We're done for. I guess that blows it.

Popp?

Sorry, but I'm not about to die for nothing.

I'm bailing now. You guys do whatever you like.

What are you saying all of a sudden?!

I'm saying I'm getting out of here.

If they're that strong, there's no point in resisting. What a crock!

Popp, do you understand what you're saying?!

You're the ones who don't understand!

Dai's like this and we're falling apart.

Now we're facing the most powerful Legion.

You'd have to be crazy to consider fighting now.

I thought fighting for your friends, even when there's no hope,

was what you Disciples of Avan believed in!

If Dai falls into their hands now, the human world will end!

That's right! I thought you were Dai's best friend!

Are you really willing to abandon Dai now and run?!

Don't worry about him. He's not even human.

He's one of them. Why not give him back to them?

They'll take good care of him!

Very well. Get out of my sight.

We won't enlist the aid of one like you.

Well that's a relief. Thanks!

Popp!

Wait, Popp!

Do not follow him, Crocodine!

We need you here to defend this position.

But...!

Princess...

I've always admired the Disciples of Avan.

If Master Avan was still alive, I was hoping to learn from him.

I believed Popp would stay with us because he's a Disciple of Avan.

What happened to your courage, Popp?

Popp...?

Popp...? Who...?

Popp!

Merle?

Was it all a lie?

When you said Dai was your friend even if he was a monster!

Were those words... Those tears... All of it?

I hate you.

I don't like you anymore!

I remember when Maam punched me and said I disgusted her.

But this isn't like back then!

If I tried to go alone, you'd stop me. That's why I had to say that.

I'm sorry!

Look after Dai, everyone! I'll stop them, even if I die trying!

I may not win, but I'll take one or two of them out with me!

So take care of the rest!

CRACKLE ICE-TYPE SPELL

GIGABREAK

Stop right there!

You're not going any farther!

Look who's here to stop us!

Are the others lying in wait?

No, it doesn't seem like it.

Are you insane?! Or just an idiot?!

Victory to the quick!

Galdandy, don't underestimate him!

He wields spells stronger than you'd expect.

That scrawny wimp?!

Donk!

Be crushed!

Please be crushed!

Thanks for lifting me up! You're a real help, Ruud!

Dammit! One escaped above!

Such weak Dragons! Pathetic!

You're brave to try to stop us alone.

Master Baran, leave this to us.

We shall catch up, so you should hurry to Master Dino.

Very well. I leave this to you.

But don't underestimate him.

I said it before, humans who are prepared to die

can display terrifying strength.

"A cornered rat will bite a cat." You never know what the desperate will do.

Isn't that what the humans say?

I'm going ahead.

Hold it!

Dammit!

Know your place, boy!

A pipsqueak like you couldn't fight Master Baran in a million years!

Shut up! Kafrizz!

With a single breath...?!

That's not all you've got, is it?!

You thought you could fight the Dragon Masters with that?!

Are you trying to make me laugh?!

Too frail, boy!

That's enough, Borahorn.

What?

He's nothing more than a fledgling.

Don't make him suffer. Just drop him on this and end it.

I guess so. For a toy, he's not very fun to play with.

Galdandy?!

I'll take this toy if you two don't want it!

He's a juicy human prey! It's no fun unless we take our time killing him!

As cruel as ever, I see.

They're strong! They're going to kill me!

Dammit! If I'm going to die, I have to hit them at least once or twice!

Otherwise, what's the point in me dying?!

Whoops. Are you dead already, kid?

I-It hurts! I'm done for!

Please! Just end it by biting off my head!

Weakling!

Oh well. Since you asked so nicely!

Sizzle!

I guess you can do anything if you're desperate.

I don't believe it. That kid killed Galdandy's favorite Ethereal Serpent.

The rat actually bit the cat.

But his resistance comes at a steep price.

That takes care of their Dragons. The real fight starts now.

This... This is impossible!

How could you die?!

What the hell?

How cruel! This is too much!

What are you crying about, birdface?!

You've killed tons of humans!

Killed tons of humans?

This Ethereal Serpent, Ruud, was the only friend I ever trusted!

He was like my brother!

We were always together, no matter what.

How dare you compare my beloved Dragon...

to some filthy little humans!

What are these feathers?!

They won't come out!

I'll slice you to pieces!

So much that they'll never find your pieces!

G-Get away from me!

That's it! They're all on the ground now!

Donk!

My spell's not working?!

You can't use such powerful spells anymore.

Your Magic Power is leaking out right now.

You mean...?!

That's right. Those white feathers drain an enemy's Magic Power!

Dammit!

And these red feathers, drain stamina.

Do you get it?

I'm going to reduce you to an empty rag doll before I slice you up!

I'll make you fear for your life!

Kafrizz!

Then, Frizzle!

Stop resisting!

It's no good! I feel weak!

I won't let you die so easily.

I'm dragging this out!

Take this and this and this!

Does it hurt?! I bet it does!

He's gone mad. Even we can't stop him now.

The boy could've died painlessly if he hadn't resisted.

Poor kid.

You're braver than I thought. That pisses me off!

I've got to fight back! While I still have stamina and Magic Power!

I have to do something!

Oh! I like that face right there!

I know. I'll do what you did to Ruud!

I'll blow your head off like him!

That's it! That's the look!

Just keep that face!

Who's there?!

Great. I'm saved by the last guy I want saving me.

Sorry to disappoint.

Even if you face the devil With logic on your side

tatoe akuma ni seiron kazashite mukatte mitemo

It may just be a rationalization

sore wa akumade seitouka sashite chigai wa naikamo

Even now, even now I waver

ima mo ima mo yureteiru kedo

How far will we go?

bokura wa dokomade yukuno

I heard a voice like an angel's whisper

tenshi no sasayaki nimo nita koe ga kikoeta

Maybe it was an imposter's illusion It still rang in my ears

hatamata petenshi no mayakashi hitokiwa mimi ni hibiiteita

Exposed to love and sorrow

ai ni hiai ni sarasare nagara

On the path strewn with pride

hokori mamire michi no tochu

Fleeting moments of cowardice

kiete wa ukabu touhikou

The SOS I held back

nomikonda SOS

I clenched my trembling fist

furueru te wo nigirishimeta

That single little promise

tatta hitotsu no chiisana yakusoku ga

Those trivial little memories

honno sasaina omoidetachi ga

They're still in my heart

itsumade tattemo kono mune wo

As embers that keep me burning

kogashi tsuzukeru tomoshibi ni naru

A single transparent beam of light

tada hitosuji no toumei na hikari ga

Lights the way before me

me no mae wo terashite yuku

There is little that I can do

boku ni dekiru koto wa ikutsu mo naisa

Just keep on to the future I managed to grasp through my faith

shinjinuita saki ni te ni shita mirai wo susunde yuke

Hyunckel arrived just in time to save Popp.

With the best possible ally at his side, against Galdandy and Borahorn,

they manage to get an advantage.

Larhart watches calmly, until he finally lifts his ominous spear.

The ferocious battle between Hyunckel and Larhart, the last Dragon Master, begins!

DRAGON QUEST The Adventure of Dai,

"Land Rider Larhart"

The adventure continues!
