(Zephlyogal unfuses following their defeat.)
lyon
Well, that's that. Our small role
in this adventure is over.
zephiel
Good. I tire of mingling
with humans.
nergal
Hmph...
lyon
C'mon, Nergal.
Cheer up.
nergal
And why should I?
lyon
W-Well... You could have not
been included, for starters!
nergal
Oh yes, I'm so glad I got to
be here.
Got made fun of without the
actually good part of it.
Why the devil should I cheer
up?! It sucks to be me!
lyon
That's not true!
You may not have gotten the
treatment that we did, but you have admirers that
number in the thousands.
You are worthy of your place
in the pantheon of villains.
nergal
...Do you mean that?
lyon
(smiles) Of course I do!
And Zephiel agrees!
Right, Zephiel?
zephiel
I hate both of you.
Filthy human scum.
lyon
(still smiling) See? He said he agrees
in Zephielish!
nergal
......
(smiles) Thanks, guys.
I appreciate it.
lyon
That's more like it already.
Let's go celebrate the occasion
with a milkshake.
nergal
Oh yeah, I could totally go for
a milkshake right now.
Hope they haven't ran out of
quintessence-flavor milkshake.
zephiel
Human milkshakes are terrible.
Dragons make the best milkshakes.
lyon
Okay! Off we go, then!
demeter
(smiles) How wonderful is that? Don't you get
the sense that things are just right?
elias
(smiles) It's always nice when it all
turns out well.
demeter
This has truly been an eye-opening
lesson on the value of friendship.
elias
Yeah... Everyone deserves
a friend. Even villains.
kyra
...Am I supposed to understand
what's going on, or...?
demeter
No.
kyra
(smiles) Good. Just wanted to
get that cleared up.
All right! C'mon, big guy,
let's keep it up.
elias
Only one trial remains, Kyra.
Soon enough it'll be over.
Let's hurry!
kyra
(frowns) ...Yeah...
edward
(smiles) Man, Eli... It's been amazing watching
you work! Look at you!
Who needs an old fossil like me with
you around?!
Elias, the great knight of the future!
Gehahahaha!
elias
(smiles) Bah, don't talk like that...
I was just given this so I could
keep up with everyone else.
You're plenty strong, and you
need no contraptions.
edward
(frowns) Hey! Don't you go puttin' yourself
down, now!
Everyone uses weapons, right?
Me and Hestia like our axes, yer sister favors her bows,
and you've got your machine!
(smiles) That's all it is. A weapon befittin'
of the bravest lil' warrior ever!
elias
Ahahahaha! All right, all right.
If you say so, Uncle Ed.
pheme
Awww, man...
This is totally not fair.
Why don't I get a cool
robot?
elias
(frowns) I-I mean, I can't exactly
do anything about it...
Why don't you ask the
higher-ups?
pheme
Dang right I will! I already
made an appointment!
...They can only see me in
3,387 years.
Stupid bureaucracy.
hestia
(smiles) ...Anyway, you've got to let me take
a look at the gizmo, little dude.
I need to know how it works.
Such incredible technology...
I may have to start believing in
miracles...!
elias
(smiles) Sure. Anything for my
sister's wife.
(Hestia starts.)
hestia
(frowns) Whoa, whoa!
We're not married yet!
edward
“Yet?” Gehahahaha!
Don't keep me waitin' too long now,
you hear?
I've gotta walk Kyra to the aisle,
and I ain't getting any younger!
elias
Just so you know, and not that it
matters, but you've got my blessing.
Honestly, I wasn't sure she'd ever find
the right person for her...
Couldn't have imagined a better partner
for her.
hestia
(smiles) ...Soooo...
That means I can take a look?
elias
Go ahead! I trust you not
to break anything.
(Elias steps out of his mecha.)
hestia
Yahoo!
edward
Hey, hey! Let me look too!
I wanna see too!
hestia
Look, but don't touch!
pheme
I wanna ride it! Just for five
minutes! Pretty please?
(Everyone leaves with the mecha, but Elias stays behind.)
elias
Hahahaha...
(serious) ...You know, you could say hello.
(Lorenzo emerges from the pillar he was hiding behind.)
lorenzo
Ah! You saw me?
elias
It's not easy, hiding in
a place like this.
lorenzo
Young Elias...
Listen, I--
elias
Before you say anything, Sir Lorenzo...
I wanted to thank you.
You delivered my final message to Kyra,
like I asked.
You gave me a proper burial...
You fought at her side...
You did so much for me, and for her.
Thanks...
lorenzo
And yet... I fear I do not feel as
though it was enough.
How could it be? After all my years
of blind servitude...
I was complicit to countless crimes.
So much suffering...
And now that the war is over, what
is there for me to do?
It was much too brief...
How can I earn redemption now?
elias
......
lorenzo
Bah... Pardon me.
It is not as though I am alone
in this.
And this should be a time for
merriment... for fun!
Forgive me for bringing my
self-pity into this.
elias
Sir Lorenzo... There is something I'd
ask of you, while I have the chance.
lorenzo
Hmm?
elias
In the forest where you buried me...
Right between my and Lady Apate's
graves...
A flower has begun to bloom.
A dwarf iris.
Of course, the woods are dense.
That spot is really dark...
This flower can't fight for sunlight
against the mighty trees.
Only you live close enough. This
blossoming bud has nobody but you.
Would you see that it grows strong
and healthy, Sir Lorenzo?
lorenzo
......
(smiles) It... shall be my honor.
elias
(smiles) Thanks...
I knew I could count on you.
