1 bf07110150_0010 82 What IS this?
2 bf07110150_0020 82 This is Genbu's ether flow.
3 bf07110150_0030 82 The Titan draws in the fabric of the Cloud Sea and uses it as a source of energy.
4 bf07110150_0040 82 This energy flows throughout the Titan's body in the form of ether.
5 bf07110150_0050 82 Refining and crystallizing this ether creates Core Chips.
6 bf07110150_0060 82 This process is what you see before you.
7 bf07110150_0070 82 So in other words, you're siphoning away a portion of the Titan's energy.
8 bf07110150_0080 82 Our cold climate and poor harvests - they are the unfortunate side effects of this process.
9 bf07110150_0090 82 I think I'm beginning to understand...
10 bf07110150_0100 82 Core Chips are vital to every nation's military and energy policies.
11 bf07110150_0110 82 The Praetorium desired this power.
12 bf07110150_0120 82 How come?
13 bf07110150_0130 82 Alrest at the time was in crisis.
14 bf07110150_0140 82 But for the Praetorium, it was a precious chance to expand their sphere of influence.
15 bf07110150_0150 82 So they...muscled in.
16 bf07110150_0160 82 As a result, Tantal fell into a chronic energy shortage.
17 bf07110150_0170 82 Then... Well, you saw for yourselves.
18 bf07110150_0180 82 Near-frozen earth. Failing crops.
19 bf07110150_0190 82 The Tantalese people are forced to live in abject poverty.
20 bf07110150_0200 82 So why not just leave the Cloud Sea?
21 bf07110150_0210 82 Genbu can move, right? Just go somewhere warmer.
22 bf07110150_0220 82 They fear contact with other nations.
23 bf07110150_0230 82 Too afraid it might expose the truth behind the legends they spun about Addam.
24 bf07110150_0240 82 That would explain their isolationism.
25 bf07110150_0250 82 Indeed. That was five centuries ago.
26 bf07110150_0260 82 Now the Aegis has awakened, the Praetorium is demanding we hand over the Omega Fetter.
27 bf07110150_0270 82 They are threatening to reveal our secret if we do not acquiesce.
28 bf07110150_0280 82 Indol are threatening you?!
29 bf07110150_0290 82 I get it now. That's what was in that letter.
30 bf07110150_0300 82 Enough was enough!
31 bf07110150_0310 82 I couldn't stand by and let the Tantalese people suffer any longer.
32 bf07110150_0320 82 Therefore, I made a decision.
33 bf07110150_0330 82 And that's why you-
34 bf07110150_0340 82 Yes.
35 bf07110150_0350 82 I knew there was a chance that the Praetorium would use the Aegis against us.
36 bf07110150_0360 82 But if I could neutralize her power, perhaps we would stand a chance of opposing them.
37 bf07110150_0370 82 And perhaps by saving my people from poverty, I could absolve the sins of my forefathers.
38 bf07110150_0380 82 You didn't think about using the Aegis's power yourself?
39 bf07110150_0390 82 Wielding such power is beyond my means.
40 bf07110150_0400 82 I am under no illusions.
41 bf07110150_0410 82 However, does the same apply to you?
42 bf07110150_0420 82 I felt something. When I looked in your eyes, I knew.
43 bf07110150_0430 82 Perhaps you are the one to whom we can entrust the Aegis's power.
44 bf07110150_0440 82 Father...
45 bf07110150_0450 82 In the end it seems I only managed to make things worse.
46 bf07110150_0460 82 I can blame nothing but my own judgment.
47 bf07110150_0470 82 This tome records the deeds of the hero Addam.
48 bf07110150_0480 82 According to this, he saved the world from destruction using a white sword.
49 bf07110150_0490 82 And then disappeared, along with a red sword.
50 bf07110150_0500 82 White and red...
51 bf07110150_0505 82 It must mean Mythra and Pyra's swords.
52 bf07110150_0510 82 Whoever wrote this must have had a personal connection to Addam.
53 bf07110150_0520 82 And most curiously...
54 bf07110150_0530 82 After Addam disappeared, the author of this book went looking for something.
55 bf07110150_0540 82 Something?
56 bf07110150_0550 82 The third Aegis sword.
57 bf07110150_0560 82 There's a third?
58 bf07110150_0570 82 Apparently this sword was as transparent as diamond, and gave off a clear, brilliant light.
59 bf07110150_0580 82 But Addam went his whole life without using the sword.
60 bf07110150_0590 82 In fact, he could not use it.
61 bf07110150_0600 82 What do you mean, 'couldn't'?
62 bf07110150_0610 82 The sword was simply too powerful.
63 bf07110150_0620 82 Even he, the legendary hero, could not contain the power it commanded.
64 bf07110150_0630 82 And thus, fearing its power, he sealed it away somewhere.
65 bf07110150_0640 82 The author therefore surmised...
66 bf07110150_0650 82 ...that this sword alone was the one true sword of the Aegis.
67 bf07110150_0660 82 [ML:undisp ]?!
68 bf07110150_0670 82 Now, Rex. You were defeated by Jin. Doubtless that man is a powerful warrior...
69 bf07110150_0680 82 But even so, can this be right?
70 bf07110150_0690 82 Can the Aegis herself truly be outmatched by a single opposing Blade?
71 bf07110150_0700 82 Would it not make more sense to presume...
72 bf07110150_0710 82 ...that you lost because you have yet to unlock the true power of the Aegis?
73 bf07110150_0720 82 You mean...I'm the one who's been holding them back...?
74 bf07110150_0730 82 Your Majesty! Where is that sword?
75 bf07110150_0740 82 We have to...We have to find it somehow!
76 bf07110150_0750 82 We have to find that sword, and rescue Pyra and Mythra!
77 bf07110150_0760 82 Regrettably, the book does not specify the sword's location.
78 bf07110150_0770 82 But there must be...
79 bf07110150_0780 82 However, reading between the lines, it seems the author suspected...
80 bf07110150_0790 82 ...that the sword lies somewhere in Leftheria.
81 bf07110150_0800 82 It's not much, but that's where I would begin the search.
82 bf07110150_0810 82 In Leftheria...
83 bf07110150_0820 82 Are you ready?
84 bf07110150_0830 82 Huh?
85 bf07110150_0840 82 Are you ready to do what it takes to be their true Driver?
86 bf07110150_0860 82 Gramps?
87 bf07110150_0870 82 Well? Are you, Rex?
88 bf07110150_0880 82 Yes! Of course!
89 bf07110150_0890 82 I'm going to be the Driver that Pyra and Mythra deserve!
90 bf07110150_0900 82 And then I'm going to take them to Elysium!
91 bf07110150_0910 82 Then come with me. I'll show you the way.
92 bf07110150_0920 82 My son.
93 bf07110150_0930 82 Yeah?
94 bf07110150_0940 82 I have a favor, to ask of you as your king.
95 bf07110150_0950 82 Well that's a first. Are you feeling okay, old man?
96 bf07110150_0960 82 Maybe you're coming down with something.
97 bf07110150_0970 82 The Aegis needs...
98 bf07110150_0980 82 No, rather, the boy needs protection.
99 bf07110150_0990 82 You mean Rex?
100 bf07110150_1000 82 Yes. I saw...something, in that boy's eyes.
101 bf07110150_1010 82 A light that must...never go out.
102 bf07110150_1020 82 Heh. Steady on, old man. People will get the wrong idea.
103 bf07110150_1030 82 ...Fine. Leave it to me.
104 bf07110150_1040 82 Thank you.
105 bf07110150_1050 82 Meh, it's not like I wasn't gonna go with him anyway.
