Tyranny Umarit Imuse: What are you doing out at such a late hour? A secret rendezvous? Suncia Panthera: N-no, it's nothing like that! Umarit Imuse: Keep such antics out of the palace. Why not go home? Suncia Panthera: It's not like that. It's really not like that! A misunderstanding like this would put her in an awkward position... Court Lady: I... I wouldn’t mind it if it's with Lord Suncia... Umarit Imuse: So she says. Suncia Panthera: I-I appreciate the sentiment, but I'd rather not complicate things any further right now... Court Lady: Ah...! My apologies! Here I am, being so...This is embarrassing... Suncia Panthera: Ah, no, that's not... Umarit Imuse: Suncia. Don't make a lady cry. Suncia Panthera: You're quite right. Excuse me, um, my apologies. We'll talk properly later... Umarit Imuse: Hehe. How heartwarming. Umarit Imuse: What a beautiful moon tonight. Are you watching from above, Nuxma…? Your brother has grown into quite a fine man. Rao Nyx: (Umarit Imuse! And that man Suncia, could he be a son of House Panthera?!) Rao Nyx: (How crazy would it be if I brought his head back with me...! I can solidify Lord Amiya as the Federation’s true leader!) Rao Nyx: (But can I really win against these two alone...?) Rao Nyx: (Damn it, is this really the time to hesitate?!) Rao Nyx: (Lord Amiya! Please, watch over me...!) Rao Nyx: Umarit! Prepare to die! Suncia Panthera: Wh...........!? Lord Umarit...! Umarit Imuse: Heh... Umarit Imuse: So you've finally shown yourself. Umarit Imuse: (Umarit's Arca Song) Rao Nyx: Whoa...........!? [CLANK!] Rao Nyx: (What is that swordplay...!? So slow, so casual, so light, almost like child's play, and yet...) Rao Nyx: (A tremendous impact, a crushing weight, comes bearing down on me...!?) Rao Nyx: Ngh...! Suncia Panthera: An intruder! Guards, gather here...! Suncia Panthera: Summon the Echo Knights immediately! Court Lady: Yes, sir...! Xin Dicus: Rao! Are you all right?! Gtri Dactyla: Ah...........! Suncia Panthera: Huh...........!? You are... Umarit Imuse: Hm........... Umarit Imuse: Intruders. Kill them all. Gtri Dactyla: ...Kh... Suncia Panthera: Please, wait, Lord Umarit! Isn't that man over there His Majesty the Emperor...?! Umarit Imuse: How disrespectful. Umarit Imuse: Our beloved Emperor would never sneak into the treasure vault in the dead of the night. Umarit Imuse: Nor is he some petty thief. And even supposing His Majesty was being held hostage by those criminals... Umarit Imuse: It would be unnatural indeed for him to see our faces, his most trusted and loyal servants, and not utter a single cry for help. Gtri Dactyla: Ack........... Umarit Imuse: Kill them. Suncia Panthera: B...! But... Echo Knight: Lord Umarit! Airio Sis: What happened?! Umarit Imuse: Intruders! Do not let a single one escape! Umarit Imuse: Kill them all! Airio Sis: Understood! Taste my great bow! Suncia Panthera: W-wait! Wait for my command! Umarit Imuse: No need. Fire. Gtri Dactyla: Wuh........... Xin Dicus: What are you frozen for! Book it...! Gtri Dactyla: I...I... Xin Dicus: Rao! Get that guy moving! Rao Nyx: But! Umarit's right there in front of us! Xin Dicus: Don’t get greedy on me now! Xin Dicus: (Xin's Arca Song) Echo Knight: They'll slip away! Umarit Imuse: Airio! Shoot! Suncia Panthera: DON’T! [BAM!] Echo Knight: ...! Smoke screen...! Echo Knight: They got away! Umarit Imuse: After them! Don't let them leave the ground...! Suncia Panthera: Lord Umarit, please, let me explain- Umarit Imuse: Vice-Captain Suncia has clearly had too much to drink. He appears intoxicated. He's relieved of duty. Suncia Panthera: Wha-?! Umarit Imuse: Airio. Airio Sis: Yes, sir! Umarit Imuse: Hunt down those criminals. Airio Sis: Leave it to me! Suncia Panthera: ...Wh… [Outside the Imperial castle…] Xin Dicus: You alright, Rao?! Rao Nyx: Yeah! But this guy...! Gtri Dactyla: Hah, huff, hah...! [STRIKE!] Gtri Dactyla: ...........! Rao Nyx: Move...! [Rao parries the strike.] Gtri Dactyla: Hah...! Ah, thank- huff...! Rao Nyx: HHave you never sprinted a day in your life?! What...........!? [STRIKE!] Rao Nyx: That guy...! Airio Sis: I won't let you escape! Rao Nyx: What an insane draw strength… A direct hit from that bow would pierce right through steel armor! Xin Dicus: Ngh...! Running with our backs turned to him is suicide! Rao Nyx: But they’ll swarm us if we stop… Gtri Dactyla: Hah, huff...! Gtri Dactyla: Ack...! Wah...! Airio Sis: Got you...! Xin Dicus: Dodge it, newbie! Rao Nyx: Tch...! I can’t get there in time! Gtri Dactyla: Ah...........! I'm going to die...! [STRIKE!!] Gtri Dactyla: ...........Gh...! Dea-... I'm not dead...? Euro Gallu: Hey there, are you all right? Gtri Dactyla: ...You are... Airio Sis: Another intruder?! Who are you?! Euro Gallu: Not really someone worth introducing, but I'll be your opponent. Airio Sis: I'm an Imperial Echo Knight! My name's Airio! Euro Gallu: An imperial Echo Knight... To think I'd get to cross blades with one so soon. I'm almost grateful. Airio Sis: Take this...! Euro Gallu: Come at me! [CLASH!] To be continued in Season 2...
