Dreams, ambition, love, hope; in this world, could the glories of a youthful heart be... forbidden?
Dreams. Each human being longs to pursue his dream. Each man is tortured by this dream, merely the dream gives significant to his life. Even if the dream ruins his life, man cannot allow himself to leave it behind. In this world, is human ever able to possess anything more than solid, than a dream?
In this world, in that location is a time that ane is forever unable to call back. In pursuit for forgiveness i is destined to atone by living through agony and letting time slip away. The sorrow in the furthest reaches of one's memory... The sorrow just across i's memory... Which is more heartbreaking?
Providence may guide a human to meet one specific person, even if such guidance eventually leads him to darkness. Man simply cannot abdicate the beauty of his own called path. When will man acquire a way to control his soul?
A man draws his sword in society to protect the small wound deep in his centre, information technology was inflicted in the days long past at the farthest attain of his memories, a homo wields his sword in lodge to depart life with a smile....

Couldn't you settle for a smile, and a addicted farewell?

In the end the winner is notwithstanding the terminal human being standing.
I can't compare to you... Certain I can kill a hundred enemies merely... and not only you, merely Griffith too. You both hold on to something, gambling with your very lives. It'due south amazing to me, I can't compare. I just kill for the sake of killing. Everyday, hundreds, thousands... There's zilch... honorable... well-nigh it.
Looking from upward hither, it's equally if each flame were a small dream, for each person. They look like a bonfire of dreams, don't they? ...- Just, there's not flame for me hither. I'm just... a temporary visitor, taking condolement from the flame.
Monsters shouldn't call themselves warriors, you self-centered bounder.
Humans are weak... merely we desire to live... even if we're wounded... or tortured... we experience the pain...
(repeated line) GRIFFITH!
A animal, a monster? Heh... Don't brand me laugh. I... am me. And nothing on earth. Tin can modify me. No thing who chases me.

Merely you know... I didn't bring a flame with me. I remember I just stopped by to warm myself by the bonfire.
Throughout my life, the moments, and people who accept defined me... they have all been illuminated by sparks.
Where am I going? If I just collapsed back in that location I would exist amend off. If I were dead back there, there would be zero. Now there's merely bad.

Griffith [edit]

A friend would not just follow another's dream... a friend would find his own reason to alive...
A dream... It's something you do for yourself, non for others.
It is my perception that a true friend never relies on some other's dream. A person with the potential to be my true friend must be able to find his reason for life without my aid. And, he would have to put his eye and soul into protecting his dream. He would never hesitate to fight for his dream, even against me. For me, a true friend is one who stands equal on those terms.
A dream can make a human being feel alive, or it can kill him instead. Just to just exist.. just because one's been born is the sort of notion that I hate.. I can't stand it.

Judeau [edit]

Whether it's good or bad, it's so unfortunate to wake upward during a dream.
I realized that I could never be the best, so I decided to find the man that could and serve past his side.

It's okay to cry...
Y'all cry a lot when you're solitary, don't you Casca?

The moons calorie-free volition not exist extinguished. So long equally the moon exists in the sky, moonlight will remain on the h2o... ...And this is a thing that already was. What will follow now is a shadow... No more than a shadow cast high above the globe ...By light from a distant dying sun. We already subsist... Within the current of causality. We who be beyond the physical are still merely shadows on the water Possibly you aren't a shadow on the water... Merely instead, a fish that breaches water'due south surface.

Together [edit]

(In a flashback, Casca finds Griffith mourning a dead squire)

Griffith: He so badly wanted to be a knight. I remember this boy well; whenever he looked at me, his eyes filled with wonder, as though I were a hero. Was he happy, I wonder; he died pursuing his dream, merely I think it was my dream that killed him.

Griffith: Listen, Casca: I experience no responsibility to those comrades who've lost their lives in my service, because they chose to fight those battles..

          (grips his artillery with his hands)          ...just every bit you chose, simply every bit I. Just equally I have chosen this, merely... if there is i matter I can do for them, for the dead, it is to win, and keep winning until I obtain my dream.          (His fingers outset to tear encarmine gashes in his arms.)          A dream they clung to and risked their lives for. I tin't simply stride over the bones of the dead to realize it; My dream... my dream is already smeared with blood! I don't regret, I don't feel guilty, only I would rather sacrifice myself than watch any more innocent children dice in the name of my dream!

Casca: Griffith has a dream he refuses to abandon, while nearly people accept forgotten about their ain dreams long ago. It is m and information technology is pure, but it is a heavy weight to carry, no matter how noble he is. And to make such dream a reality, one must suffer terrible things. He wasn't born strong, but considering of his dream he knows that he must be. I want to be by his side to every last moment. If he dedicates himself entirely to his dream, if he has to fight to forge his dream, then I, I want to be a sword for him. His strength in battle, I desire to play that of import role in the fulfillment of his dream. (to Guts) And once, I believed my wish would be granted. But then, you arrived. Do yous even call back, what he told you that mean solar day on the hilltop he asked yous to join usa? The mode he spoke, he had never given such high praises to anyone. I was overcome with envy that day; he barely knew you lot and still he held you in such regard. I despised y'all. I tried to convince myself, that Griffith wanted yous solely for the forcefulness you would add to the Hawks, but I see the fashion Griffith treats you differently. He becomes unnerved if y'all're in danger, and acts impulsively, as if, as if... Griffith puts his faith in you, but you, yous tin can't appreciate the implications it has. And I'll never forget that because of you, because of your recklessness and your selfishness, Griffith was nearly killed! I don't intendance if you drop expressionless in a field somewhere, only if you compromise Griffith's dream, if you ruin that, I will never forgive you! Exercise y'all hear me? (breaks down) I can't forgive yous for making Griffith modify the mode he has. Why yous? Why did he choose you of all people? Why you?

Prepared For Death [edit]

Guts: Women. You're entirely as well weak, I mean just expect at y'all; Y'all take no endurance, you anger likewise easily, and you've got women troubles. Just more proof that women don't vest in a man's war.

Casca: You know null virtually women!

Guts: Of course not, I'k a homo. How would I know? But what I do know is that nosotros can't afford to be held up past your female problems, or anything else for that matter, sympathise? The enemy doesn't intendance what condition you're in, and they don't intendance that you're a woman. Actually, on 2d thought, they might exist happy virtually that.

Guts : Do you really want to die in a place like this? Do you really desire a meaningless identify like this to exist your grave? Is that dream in your head then dead? Every sword belongs in information technology'due south sheath. Go dorsum to the sheath your master holds. Get back, back to Griffith.

Bonfire of Dreams [edit]

Judeau: Y'all're messing with our merely woman...You lot'll pay for that.

(after finding the remains of the hundred men he's slain, Casca finds Guts obviously lifeless body, and starts shaking information technology)

Guts: Please terminate shaking me. It really isn't helping the pain.

Guts: You know, there'southward no demand for you to worry yourself. It was for my own sake that I did all that. Information technology wasn't for you lot in particular. It'south just my nature. I'd rather fight with my sword than run away, that'southward all.

Casca: So that's the just reason? Y'all fought a hundred men cause... It's not in your nature to run away?

Guts: Yes, pretty much. Besides, I owed that bastard some payback. My memory of things is a bit unclear, I was lost in the swordplay. But to tell you the truth, there was something I only couldn't become out of my head. Compared to what you lot're trying to practice, me fighting a hundred men means nix, information technology has no purpose. I'm not talking virtually just yous, I mean Griffith also. The ii of you accept something important that you tin stake your lives on. I think it's great, I truly mean that. Compared to the strength of that purpose, whether I face a hundred men in battle or even a g, seems similar nothing simply a random act.

Casca: Guts, I...

Guts: Some view, huh?

Casca: Huh?

Guts: Gaston doesn't call back he'southward very suited for regular army life. His intention is to first a tailoring business with the coin he's earned when this state of war is over. He's very good with his hands, though he may not look it. Nikol had proposed to a adult female who refused him one time. Apparently she didn't desire to marry a mutual soldier, and then he declared he'd go promoted as before long as possible so that he could ask her again. That'south why he tends to be so reckless and overextends himself in battle. It seems to me that everybody stakes their lives in a lost cause. Looking over them all from upwards here, I almost think I can see their hopes and dreams flickering in each little light.

Casca: Like a bonfire of dreams.

Guts: Well, that was beautiful. You sounded like the Princess talking.

Casca: Don't say that! But I understand; it's like each one of them has his own little calorie-free or small flame that he brings to the Ring of the Hawk.

Guts: Yeah, and to ensure those weaker flames don't go out, each man casts his own into the strongest fire of them all: A raging fire, that is Griffith. Only, my lite isn't to be seen amongst them. However, after all this time, it's seems I'thou just someone who stopped to warm himself at the bonfire in passing.

Casca: Guts...

Guts: So long as I accept my sword to fight with, I'1000 certain to survive. Year subsequently twelvemonth, I've proven it to be truthful. Before joining the Hawks, I've always survived, no thing the odds, no matter how hopeless a losing battle. This time was no dissimilar. In truth, I don't believe that's any way to live 1's life. I've been fighting in battles for as long as I can retrieve. The mercenary leader who raised me taught me zip except how to wield a sword. I've never had anything, except my sword. I don't desire to die; for me that is the only reason for me I keep fighting. There is nothing to save myself for or requite myself to. I fight because I know nothing else. In one case I was willing, to practise just that, to commit myself to fighting, and let anyone else find a reason for me.

Guts: Alright! Let's have a drink.

Hawk Raider one: Are you lot sure you should drinkable in your status?

Guts: Ah shut upwardly. The booze will disinfect me from the inside!

Militarist Raider ii: Ha ha, that sounds like skillful medicine!

The Decisive Boxing [edit]

Sir Laban: (On Griffith) Across all others. Perhaps we have fought by a hero such as the similar of which comes around once in a hundred years. A commander beyond all others.

Griffith: Stake your lives on this fight! Our survival demands that we stake our lives on this fight! And to survive, is to be victorious!

The Conquerer [edit]

Guts : (In response to the enemy'south shock) What are you, idiots? Your head has been cutting off, your leader is dead, your castle has fallen. Don't tell me you haven't figured information technology out even so!

Purple Rhino Knight : We lost?

Moment of Glory [edit]

Casca: Come to think of it, I can't think the last fourth dimension I wore a skirt, let alone a fancy gown. And look at all my muscle. The truth now; I look silly, don't I?

Guts: No, you look very lovely.

Tombstone of Flames [edit]

Queen: Griffith, if you call back you can burn me, the Queen, you are mistaken! Y'all tin't impale me! Y'all're common. I won't allow it!

Griffith: Death on the battlefield comes regardless of grade, royal or common. The loser must dice!

Griffith: Do you recollect me a dreadful human? I had you take such a role in my affairs, while never getting my ain hands dirty. I left the most difficult and dangerous tasks to you solitary. Do you and so non, resent me?

Guts: You practise realize you're talking to the man who slaughtered a hundred men. I think it makes your question kind of pointless. Yous're merely following your path, yous still believe that, don't y'all?

Separation [edit]

Guts : You're going to be all right. You simply stumbled over a stone in the road. It means nil. Your goal lies far beyond this. Doesn't it? I'chiliad sure you'll overcome this. You lot'll walk once again ... soon.

Sparks [edit]

Guts : (On his sword) Is this reality? It has always been at my side, through pain I could hardly endure. Yes, this is part of me. Whenever I met death, my sword was with me as I moved past information technology. For all the places I take seen, and people I tin never forget, I felt everything through the tip of my sword. This sword is the proof that I ever lived.

Guts : Sparks: The light built-in in the clash when ii swords meet. They serve me well. Throughout my life...the moments, and people who have defined me...they have all been illuminated...past sparks.

Confession [edit]

(Casca leans on Guts' chest, property his wounded paw.)

Casca: Yous continue getting hurt. You keep spilling your blood because of me... for me... (Casca looks upwardly at Guts, tears streaming down her face.) You fool! You lot fool...

Casca: That day you left, that's when I knew. The affair I could not finish gazing at and thinking about wasn't Griffith, kneeling in the snow defeated for the first fourth dimension and devastated by it. It was you, watching yous walk abroad from united states and never look back. It gripped me, I couldn't accept what I was feeling, this woman unable to blink, unable to plough away as you lot disappeared. The life I had led since the moment I met Griffith all at one time felt betrayed. My life has been an honest ane: I have merely my pride, and I owe that to Griffith, simply... I'grand changing. In that location may be a place for me in this human's soul. Not considering of what I may receive, only for something of worth I may take for him.

(Subsequently making dearest to Casca, Guts confesses he'll go his own fashion after restoring the Hawks to their sometime status.)

Guts: I'll never describe my sword for some other man again, or exist dangled past someone else's dream. From now on, I'll fight my own battles.

Casca: (laughs sarcastically) My, my. How honorable...

(Casca picks upwards some leaves and tosses them at Guts.)

Casca (angrily): You're only like Griffith! Your dream is everything to you! You lot simply remember about yourself! You don't give a damn whether or not I'm effectually, do y'all?!

Guts: Casca...

(Casca beats Guts' breast with her fist, tears in her eyes.)

Casca: JUST Become! Do whatever the hell you want and don't look back! Wind up dead somewhere, lonely, with your sword!

(She starts to cry, simply Guts embraces her.)

Guts: Come. Y'all could come up with me.

Casca: (She stops crying.) Huh?

Guts: I don't know what will happen. I know only i thing; that I desire to proceed holding you lot...

Casca: Y'all fool.

Guts: ...prevarication with you lot a hundred more -- no, a thousand more times. That's how I feel.

Casca: (smiles) Stupid...

(They buss.)

Corkus: I AM IN HELL! This was supposed to be our new commencement! Weren't nosotros going to brand a fresh start after we rescued Griffith? Wasn't that information technology? For a goddamn yr now, nosotros've been living like rats; the lucky ones, of course. The other half are dead! "But take faith," they said, "Once Griffith is back, he'll atomic number 82 u.s.a. to glory." Bull-shit! (smashes his sword confronting a rock) You know, I had a feeling it would turn out like this, that something like this might happen. But withal, I did hope...

(While discussing plans for the future with Judeau, Guts is interrupted by Gaston and a large grouping of the Hawks raiders)

Gaston: Commander Guts! Say, you weren't thinking most leaving without proverb farewell again, now, were you? Because if that'southward the case, we've decided that nosotros're coming with you lot, and in that location'due south nothing you can practise almost it. It was a unanimous decision.

Guts: All of you?

Gaston: As long as y'all're leading us, we know we tin can succeed. Please take the states with you, Commander.

(The other Hawks bring together in, begging to come along with Guts)

Guts : (thinking) Perhaps, this is what I was looking for my whole life. I hadn't realized it until this very moment, only everything I ever wanted back is correct hither before me, right now. Why don't I realize what I accept until it's lost to me?

Ubik: No illusion; we're but holding a mirror to your own consciousness and assuasive you to witness the reflection. Yous yourself stacked the cobblestones to reach the castle in the heaven. That was and always has been your destiny.

Conrad: Without uncertainty, yous stepped over the thousands of expressionless, whose bodies fabricated upwardly the stones to pave your way, and they, for you, have done the same to those earlier!

Griffith: You...Among thousands of comrades and tens of thousands of enemies, but one, simply you, and you alone, obscured the vision of my dream. I Submit!

(Guts find himself in a lake of blood, along with the mangled remains of many of the Band of the Hawk)

Guts: GAH! IS ANYONE Nonetheless Alive? JUDEAU, PIPPIN, CORKUS? (Pauses) Casca...

Griffith: Why practise men similar to shed blood, you asked. You are correct in proverb that it is one of the facets nosotros, men, possess. Withal, it is just a tool to obtain what our centre desires and keep it from harm's fashion. I believe it to be a double-edged bract.

Charlotte: What your heart desires... Lover? Honor?

Griffith: Both are important, aren't they? Fighting and dying for dear and award is what a knight desires above all else. Merely there exists something even more than of import than that. You know of it, I believe.

Charlotte: More important?

Griffith: It is a dream formulated and fostered for your own sake. Men are entranced by their dreams regardless of nascency, rank or social continuing. Dreams breathe life into men and can cage them in suffering. Men live and dice past their dreams but long after they're abased, they nevertheless smolder deep in men's hearts. A life spent as a martyr...to the God named "Dream". I find it abhorrent to simply live my life for no reason other than I was born into it.

Griffith: They are...excellent soldiers. Together nosotros have faced death so many times. They are loyal to me, willing to follow me into the jaws of death for my dream. But that does non make them my friends. To me, a friend is someone who would never depend on another's dream. Someone who wouldn't be compelled by anyone, only would determine and pursue his ain reason to live...Someone who would put his heart and soul to protect it, fifty-fifty if it mean from myself. For me to phone call a homo my friend, he must be equal to me in all respects.

The Battle of Doldrey [edit]

Adon: As for the girl...I'm sure my men know what to practice with her.

Guts: Are you sure? She might bite something off. (get whacked by Casca)

Guts: (to Casca) Practice you really desire to die in a identify similar this? Do you lot really want a meaningless identify like this to be your grave? Is that dream in your head so dead? Every sword belongs in information technology'due south sheath. Go back to the sheath your chief holds. Go dorsum, back to Griffith.

Guts: (In response to the enemy'southward daze) What are you, idiots? Your head has been cutting off, your leader is dead, your castle has fallen. Don't tell me you haven't figured it out yet!

Casca: Come to call back of it, I can't remember the final time I wore a dress. My body And look at all my muscle. The truth now; I look silly, don't I?

Guts: No, you expect very lovely.

The Advent [edit]

(While in prison, Griffith receives a vision from the God Hand)

Void: Nosotros shall run into again, at the appointed time and place. Nosotros are kindred, your kinsmen, oh blest one...

Silat: The outcome has been decided. Drop your weapon and order your men to surrender or I'll have your head on the count to 3. I... Two... Iii!

Guts (blocking Silat'south deathblow): 4. Don't let that street performer become the improve of you. On your feet.

Casca: Guts!

Casca: Describe your weapon.

Guts: Look a minute! (Casca swings her sword at him) Are y'all trying to kill me? Casca!

Casca: I said depict your sword!

Casca(while forcing Guts to fight her): It's all your fault! Griffith and the Band of the Hawk, information technology all went to hell because of y'all!

Guts: Considering of me? How so?

Casca: How stupid are you lot? Damn you! You are the one Griffith wanted! It was ever y'all! You were the but one!

Guts: Who the hell are yous?

Skull Knight: Pay mind, struggling 1. Shortly, a storm of death and madness that will rage effectually you that no mortal tin atone for. But, pay listen struggling one. Struggle, squirm and fight. That is the only sword with which y'all tin hold decease at bay. Ne'er forget this.

Guts: Hey! What practise you mean? Wait!

Charlotte: A m years ago, the country was embroiled in state of war and turmoil. Ane rose to put an stop to the chaos: Supreme King Gaiseric. In his lifetime, he forged a vast empire that spanned the entire continent. His lineage remains a mystery, simply his skill at arms was famed, and they say he e'er wore a skull mask to battle.

Judeau I've heard stories of the legendary Skull King. Merely he was mad with power, so Five Angels were sent to deal with him. This led to the elimination of his regular army and the empire he'd built.

Casca: Wasn't it 4?

Guts: Casca! The Keys!

[Guts and Judeau see the horrific scars on Griffith'south face.]

Guts: T-This tin't be... T-This cannot be Griffith...

[The door is locked]

Torturer: You're trapped in hither. Yous're locked in.

Guts: Was it you who did this to Griffith?

Torturer: I never got to piece of work on someone and then pretty before. He weathered torture so well. First, I cut his tendons and then he wouldn't run away. Then, when he wasn't sleeping or eating, I tore off his skin and fingernails. I branded him with glowing iron and bathed him in humid water. We've been as shut as a married couple for the by twelvemonth. Look at what I have for my collection! (He shows off Griffith'southward tongue.) It's my charm. His tongue, see?

[Guts breaks the door and runs the torturer through in the shoulder, suspending him to a higher place the pit.)

Guts: This is where you die. You won't be going to Heaven double-tongued. (He cuts the torturer'southward natural language out.) Your breath is rancid. Yous'll fit well in Hell.

Torturer: Please...! Don't do this...!

Guts: I tin can't hear you. Speak properly.

(Guts drops the torturer, causing him to fall to his death.)

Void: I bid thee welcome to this distant setting, this abstract time. Ye lambs of the un-godly God-built-in of human, savor this sacred nocturnal festival to the fullest. Thee, honorable child, consecrated by the laws of Causality, the Militarist. Thousand art the Called 1. At this time, at this place. The one called by the manus of the Slap-up God. We art kinsmen, O blessed King of Longing.

Void: What is it you fearfulness? We, who are infinitely more powerful than you? Or perhaps information technology is the future, the path which you lot were destined to follow.

Ubik: Before we delve into your future, let us return once to the foundation of your past. So we shall know what exactly it is you are.

Erstwhile Woman: What are you shouting about?

Young Griffith: All these people are expressionless!

Onetime Woman: Weren't you the one who killed them? None of them would have died had yous not claimed to be on your way to the castle.

Young Griffith: But I didn't force anybody...

One-time Adult female: Silence! You should have known from the start. Yous should have known what kind of place you'd come up to.

Young Griffith: Known?

Erstwhile Woman: Heed here boy, the only path that leads to the castle is by paving a road of corpses. Stop here and you'll end upwardly a corpse yourself.

Immature Griffith: I... I'm...

Old Woman: You're such an idiot. Now you regret what y'all once idea was a good idea. Just looking at the castle from the alleyway couldn't satisfy you, could information technology?

Griffith (thinking): I knew the consequences. Only... I cannot apologize. I will not. If I should repent or experience regret, so everything would take been for naught. I will never reach the castle if I do.

Griffith (coming to from his vision): Was that... an illusion?

Ubik: No, this isn't an illusion. We just held up a mirror to your ain consciousness.

Void: You take longed for the castle in the heavens, paving your way there by piling up corpses. That is you.

Void: Pile them up. Take all you have left. All you demand to practice is dirge the phrase... "I sacrifice." And y'all shall be granted raven-black wings upon which y'all shall soar the heavens.

(All of a sudden, Guts arrives.)

Guts: Griffith! (pants) Griffith.

Griffith (while looking towards Guts): Yes... amongst the thousands of comrades... and the tens of thousands of enemies... there was but one man... y'all were the only one... who ever made me forget my dream.

(A long pause...)

Griffith: ...I sacrifice.

(The hand-like altar begins to close its fingers around Griffith. Griffith smiles.)

Guts: Griffith!

(Griffith is encased in the hand. Guts aimlessly starts to try and pry the gigantic fingers open, calling Griffith'south name.)

Void: The threads of Causality have now been bounded. The promised fourth dimension has come up.

(Void casts the branding spell, marking anybody in the Band of the Hawk with Brands of Sacrifice. The Apostles transform and begin to assault the Band, overwhelming and slaughtering them.)

Void: The lives of those who deport the brand, from the last drop of blood to the last moment of your agonizing death, will feed life to the new child of darkness.

Nosferatu Zodd: You lot finally showed yourself. You lot've been our enemy for millennia. I was never quite sure y'all would apply this chance.

Skull Knight: I run into yous take been appointed gatekeeper, Immortal.

Nosferatu Zodd: I have no interest in their mindless barrack, "quondam friend."

Griffith (sinking deeper into the Astral Realm while his men are slaughtered): Where am I? Their deaths are flowing through me. I experience naught. My memories are slowly overflowing. Why...? Why do men... I see... So that'due south why...

[Guts is surrounded by thousands of Apostles, several of them holding the mangled remains of the members of the Band of the Militarist.]

Guts: You bastards...! ...DAMN YOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!

[At the same moment...]

Ubik: The nativity!

Slan: The 5th Blessed King.

Conrad: A new demon king!

Void: Our new kinsman, to wear the mantle of evil. The Wings of Darkness... Femto.

[Griffith, transcended into a Godhand, hatches from a Behelit-shaped egg, rise to his feet with a scream of mixed fury and agony]

Guts: ...huh?

[Griffith, reborn equally Femto, spreads his wings and descends into the crowd of Apostles to run into Guts. He lands gracefully, several anxiety from Guts. Guts stands, shocked.]

Guts: ... Griffith, you...

[Femto outstretches his hand; a tentacle holding Casca lowers her down to him. Guts gasps at the sight of his lover in this country. Femto brings the outstretched hand to Casca's breast, groping it. He so places his other hand in between Casca's legs, rubbing her under-region.]

Casca: (...gasp!)

[Femto continues, staring at Guts all the while. More tentacles from the Apostle restraining her begin to pull her legs autonomously.]

Guts: ...what the hell are you doing...?

Casca: (gasping and writhing)

Guts: Finish! What the hell are yous doing?!

[An Campaigner -- Borkoff -- lunges forward and bites on his arm, holding him in identify. Femto, meanwhile, has the tentacles of the Apostle restraining Casca to turn her to him. She opens her eyes to see Femto standing over her.]

Casca (recognizing him): ...Griffith?

[Femto forcibly kisses her, making her eyes widen in horror as she realizes what Femto is well-nigh to do to her. As Guts watches with seething hatred, Femto moves to penetrate Casca by force and begins to rape her. Guts snaps and struggles confronting Borkoff's jaws clamping down on his arm. Femto looks up from Casca, staring at him with contempt as he forces Casca confronting her will. Guts turns back to Borkoff with his sword and stabs at the monster'south teeth, hoping to get free, but his sword breaks. In a split up-2nd decision, he resorts to chiseling his arm one-half-off, then pulling until his arm disconnects, freeing him. Yelling furiously, Guts charges at Femto, stabbing towards the Godhand's centre with his broken sword. Femto stops him mid-charge, belongings him in identify with telekinesis.]

Ubik: How foolish... what can a mere homo do against a being who has transcended the mortal coil?

[Ubik suddenly gasps as Guts begins to break free of the grip, slowly inching his sword towards Femto's correct eye. Femto responds past hurling Guts in the air, making him land in the same spot he lost his arm. Femto has Casca turned around so he can continue violating her. Guts gets back up, but several more Apostles dogpile him, halting his concluding try to save her. Femto continues to rape Casca.]

Casca: D... Don't look at me...

Slan: How delightful. It might movement me to tears. Dear, detest, pain, pleasure, life, death. All of information technology hither to savour, right before our very optics!

Ubik: This is to be human. This is to be evil.

[Guts watches tearfully as Femto forces some other buss on Casca as he rapes her. Every bit he does this, one of the Apostles restraining Guts stabs into his right heart with its claw, the terminal motion-picture show in his correct heart being of Femto sticking his tongue downwardly Casca's throat. Suddenly, Femto finishes, letting the exhausted and humiliated Casca topple sideways onto the ground. Guts lifts his head and wails in desperation and despair.]

(The Skull Knight has just escaped with the unconscious Guts and Casca.)

Ubik: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Fascinating! How unforeseen!

Slan: Hmm... it's impossible to anticipate everything. We're not gods. How are nosotros to know what volition occur? Only tell us, Void... was this besides "fated" to happen?

Slan: Regardless, this is the dawn of a new historic period. The fifth angel has been born.

Void: An age of darkness will dawn. The vastness of the night will drive away the calorie-free. Men volition call it thus: The Dark Age.

Guts: Where are all of you going? Judeau! Hey, stop! Don't go! Corkus! Pippin! End! Come back! DON'T GO!

Guts: Casca! It'southward me. Guts!

Casca: No!

Guts: Hey, stop joking around! It's over, Casca! Nosotros fabricated it out alive!

Erica: In that location, there. You shouldn't scare her.

Rickert: She doesn't remember. She doesn't remember you or me. She'southward been like this e'er since she woke upwardly.

[Guts finds himself attacked by ghosts that proceed to enter his torso, but he manages to force them out.]

Skull Knight: The Make of Sacrifice attracts creatures of darkness, bound to eat your body to the last drib of blood. That is the fate of those branded, Struggler.

[Guts runs up to the Skull Knight and borrows his sword.]
