Original subtitles

Several countries have been experiencing cases of unexplained human combustion...

...the World Health Organisation is currently investigating...

This is the result of a new human mutation known as the 'Burnish'...

...Governments everywhere are taking action,

introducing Burnish segregation policies...

Radical group Mad Burnish's terrorist fires show no signs of slowing down...

In response, UN-appointed specialist Professor Prometh has stated,

"The oppression of the Burnish people is likely to invite

concurrent fires all over the world."

The Great World Blaze has come to an end...

Now 50% of the total population is...

30 years have passed since the Great World Blaze...

and now, more than ever, we must strive to keep peace.

High-rise fire. Area B-25, Promepolis New Town Center.

Dispatch request for Burning Rescue. Repeat, dispatch request for Burning Rescue.

Burning Rescue!

Dispatch!

Hup!

NATIONAL RESCUE AND FIRE PREVENTION BUREAU

FORESIGHT PHARMACEUTICALS

- Burnish Flare!

- Where's Burning Rescue?!

- The automatic extinguishers' out!

We're not even making a dent!

The building's done for!

Yeah, yeah. We'll be there in just a sec.

LUCIA

Civilians on the 58th floor!

And they're getting pretty sweaty!

Looks like the heart of the Burnish Flare!

Varys! Remi!

Emergency deployment with anti-Burnish combat gear.

OK!

Roger that!

Lucia! There's no time to stop. Prepare for mobile launch.

Fire in the hole!

Varys on the scene.

VARYS

It's full of Burnish Flares in here...

Remi, get in here quick!

REMI

They're in here!

You're safe now. Please remain calm.

The ceiling...!

I'm on it.

It's time to go!

All aboard! Everyone in the container.

Rescuemobile on the scene and ready.

IGNIS

Aina! What's the story up there?

58th floor rescue complete. In transit.

There are more people on the roof. We've gotta get them out of there!

Burnish Lightning is jamming my instrument!

I can't get any closer. Get Galo up here!

AINA

Woah! It's really burning hard, isn't it?!

More than worthy of extinguishing!

It sets my firefighter's soul ablaze!

GALO THYMOS

Sorry for the wait. Burning Rescue is finally here!

Breathe easy, citizens! The amazing Galo is on the scene!

Quit screwing around. We're launching you and your rescue gear to the 108th floor.

I'm not screwing around. I'm getting the crowd pumped!

If you don't shut up, you're gonna bite your tongue off.

Blastoff!

The Great Galo will now-

Look! We're over here!

Um, where are they going?

He's dead, right?

He's gotta be dead.

I'm alive!

Let's go! Right here, everybody. Come on!

Galo, do something about the smoke! I can't see!

Okay everybody, let's keep it moving.

Galo! Behind you.

Huh?

Multiple Burnish signals detected behind the smoke.

They're converging. They'll get even stronger!

MAD BURNISH

Bad news, Captain. Those guys are Mad Burnish!

The inferno terrorists?

Affirmative. Most of them were captured,

but their leader and two of the top generals are still at large.

Galo, listen up.

Don't underestimate him. He's the root of all Burnish crime.

The world's been hunting him for 30 years.

He's the leader of Mad Burnish.

The rescue gear you're wearing wasn't designed for this.

Wait for backup.

So this guy's the boss...

Galo, don't!

Aina. You need to get those people out of here. Right now!

Don't do anything crazy!

You know he already made up his mind.

Damn right, I did!

Getting scorched is part of the job!

If I let these Pyros get away, the shame would kill me!

Hey, you! Flaming bastards!

Yeah, you-

Wit that whole speech, is that all you got?

Mister firefighter!

This is bad. The rescue gear is too heavy to keep up with those bikes.

Too bad you don't have a faster suit, huh?

Lucia, now's the time. Do it!

Sure thing~

All tuned up and ready to go anytime!

Okay! Tech engage!

The fire may be gone, but the heat still lingers!

On the scene, equipment docked!

Matoi Tech!

I'll extinguish you with my burning soul!

Click.

Behold! Matoi embodies the firefighting heritage and soul of Far East Island natiom!

It symbolizes the spirit of the brave men who fought fire with their bare hands!

Your reign of fire and terror ends today, you pyromaniac bastards!

This guy an idiot?

He's definitely an idiot.

You idiot!

He's too fast!

How the hell?!

One down!

Gueria!

What?!

That's two!

Come on down, big boss!

Why don't you get off your high horse...

And fight me man-to-man!

Shit.

Coward! Attack me in the middle of my pose!

What kind of idiot poses while he's fighting a fire!

Hey, Lucia! What the hell is that toy?

Sorry. It's just a personal project.

Galo, try not to get all worked up! You gotta stay calm, okay?

I'm always calm.

Hey! Are you just messing with me?

I swear he lost his cool...

Finally.

One-on-one!

What's fun about burning people's houses anyway!?

It's not about fun.

The flames are part of us.

We have to burn in order to live. That's the way we Burnish are.

The only that should be burning is your soul!

Your voice is a nuisance, and I'm gonna put it out!

With my own burning soul! Cuz that's who I am.

Complete nonsense.

Shut up!

Psyche.

What the hell's going on? You're just a kid!

Who are you to talk?

Get out of my way or you're gonna die.

The Burnish don't kill people unless they're forced to.

This is over. You're unarmed.

And naked.

That's big talk for a little pyromaniac.

I... No, actually we...

we're a rescue team.

Lucia!

You got it!

You like that?

We hope you enjoyed Matoi Tech rapid cooling.

This is the invincibl teamwork of Special Mobile Firefighter Rescue Unit Burning Rescue!

BURNING RESCUE

So, you amazed ye? You know, I didn't get naked just for fun.

It hadn't crossed my mind.

Today, you met Galo Thymos!

An unbelievable blazing firefighter with a burning soul!

So, Mad Burnish boss. Burn my name into your mind.

It's Lio. Lio Fotia.

LIO FOTIA

I don't know how you got so full of yourself, kid. But you're still just a rookie.

Ow!

You almost wrecked that brand new suit! Would it kill you to be more careful?

You'll have better data on it now! You're welcome.

Have some respect, rookie.

You didn't have to hit me so hard, Varys!

Next time, him even harder! Otherwise this idiot will never learn.

You know, you gotta...

It's Freeze Force!

Colonel Vulcan.

Good job out here today, Ignis.

VULCAN

Mad Burnish, huh? Don't worry, we'll take it from here.

Hey! You got some pretty ancient gear, huh?

Low-level rescue team sure have it hard!

That's why Burnish Crimes are always under Freeze Force jurisdiction.

You're here to take credit for our work!

Galo, shut up. You idiot.

So it was you? You're the one who caught this guy?

What if I said that I was?

You're under arrest, firefighter!

What?

The law explicitly forbids civilians from dealing with terrorists.

Your lack of training could've caused a major disaster.

I'm afraid I can't overlook your reckless actions.

The Burnish' actions that can't be overlooked!

And all I did was stop them from destroying the city!

You'll be free plead your case in court.

Hold it.

We're authorized to deal with the Burnish in a fire emergency.

That exception gives us jurisdiction.

Guess who judges whether that applies or not? This guy!

I'll note that in my report.

Tch.

What, can't take a joke?

What a pointles internal power struggle. Public officials are so worthless.

You got a big mouth for a Burnish! Take him away!

Looks like Vulcan was just letting off some steam,

Asshole.

Huh?

The Burnish suddenly appeared 30 years ago.

Wild blazes caused by fire-wielding mutants

took a huge toll on the Earth.

But now, the Burnish threat is finally being driven out.

Days ago, thanks to the noble efforts of the special mobile firefighter rescue unit, Burning Rescue,

Mad Burnish's leader was arrested.

This noble act marks the end of the flame terrorist group.

Ouch...

Ow!

Wait!

He told to wait! Get back here!

It's better not to fight them.

You'll only end up with your limbs frozen solid.

Sure seems that way.

Boss.

Look at 'em...

My God.

It's just like we heard.

Mad Burnish was our only hope for ages... And now you've been captured too.

Boss, look.

Why did they do this?

Allow me to introduce...

Burning Rescue's rookie hero,

Your Galo Thymos!

Join me as we celebrate his great achievement, the annihilation of Mad Burnish!

Galo... Please continue to protect the citizens of Promepolis.

You can count on me, Governor.

I'll keep on protecting Promepolis, just like you once protected me.

You've always been my greatest hero and inspiration as a firefighter,

ever since you lost your arm protecting me.

KRAY FORESIGHT

I'm counting on you, Galo.

One Inferno Volcano Margherita Megamax!

Enjoy!

Ouch! It tastes so yummy and hot right from the oven!

Two more of these!

You got it!

Gotta hand it to ya. It's always cooked just right.

Yeah, he's very good at what he does.

Here you go! Enjoy.

I saw you on TV, Galo. Nice job out there!

Oh, you mean this?

Yeah. those guys were a real pain in the neck, you know?

What is it that they were called? The Mad Burnish?

What a relief to know their boss is finally in jail.

Yup!

I'm sure some of those Burnish guys are pretty decent.

And the discrimination is just because of those terrorists give them a bad name.

Yeah. I couldn't have said it better myself, pops.

The Burnish are just misunderstood. It's not like being one of them makes you a bad person.

It's a mutation.

It says nothing about your character. What matters is how you use it.

Like Varys with his superhuman strength.

Mhm.

Anyway! You guy can count me for any fire in Promepolis

I stake this medal on it.

Hey, you got this, man!

Yup, we're in good hands!

Yeah... but who wears their medals to go get pizza?

A real man must always wear his medals on his chest!

Not to mention that the Governor gave it to me himself...

It means a lot.

He saved your life or something, right?

Yeah, when I was a kid.

He must have been a college student back then.

Thanks to that rescue, everyone knew who he was.

And that's how his research on fireproof material gained attention.

Before you knew it, he was a billionaire!

Now he's the chairman of the Foresight Foundation and the city governor!

Talk about a meteoric rise, right?

So can't you make money with your inventions?

Inventions that make money are nothing but heresy.

That was totally something a mad scientist would say!

Huh? You know, your older sister's one too.

Yeah, maybe... I don't even know what she's researching...

Huh, looks like Warp engines. They still have a long way to go.

You think we'll ever see something like that in our lifetime?

Even being able to join a Rescue team, that was thanks to Governor Kray.

We have to pay him back somehow, no matter what the risks are.

Hey, Pops! We need more Inferno Margherita over here!

I hope you don't think we're gonna be splitting the bill.

Hey, that's not fair!

You've had enough already!

Freeze Force?!

Nobody move a muscle!

If you do, I'll consider you a Burnish!

Hey, what the hell do you think you're doing?

Oh, it's you again. Shut up and watch.

You, There! Don't move!

Hey!

Stay away!

This guy is a Burnish?!

Wait, what are you doing? He's not a criminal!

All he was trying to do was make some pizza!

Did you know what he was?

Boss...

It's okay.

It's not. Look, kid, all you're guilty of is wanting to make the best pizza in town.

Old man.

You're under arrest, too. Cordon off this restaurant.

Back off!

The Burnish is innocent, and why are you dragging Pops into this?

He was sheltering a Burnish fugitive.

In the eyes of the law, anyone caught harboring a Burnish is considered as guilty as the Burnish.

You should study the law before running around like you're some kind of hero.

Just wait a minute!

It's true that harboring a Burnish is a crime,

but that's a special law that applies only to terrorists!

This guy is not a terrorist!

That's for the court to decide Not a little girl.

You're saying this pizza was made by a Burnish?!

Disgusting...

How could they?! It's like they served us all garbage!

Hey! Knock if off!

Galo!

You need to calm down. It's not like you can tell people what to think.

Even if it sucks...

Where are you going?!

Let's go, you freaks.

You're being transferred.

Gueira.

Boss.

Meis.

Right.

Here we go.

Bastard!

Burnish will always be free.

I won't let the Foundation hold us.

We'll rescue our wounded comrades.

That's much better!

Go and free the others.

You got it!

Don't kill anyone.

We Burnish don't kill without reason.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

A wall of fire!

Come on. We're breaking all of you out of here.

But how did you...

Oh you mean the freezing ring? Breaking out of those is a piece of cake for the boss.

Let's move!

You're so irritating.

Everyone, Come on! Let's go!

I never knew this place existed... What is it?

I Dunno.

How did you even know about it?

Found it totally by accident one day was riding around all pissed off.

Now, whenever I need to cool off, I just come here.

Well, I guess it's good for that. Not many people would come all the way out here in the mountains.

Unless it's someone like you, who has way too much energy.

Oh, then what are you doing out here?

I'm here because when you left before,

you seemed like you were about to go raid Freeze Force HQ.

Oh! You wanted to help?

No, I wanted to stop you.

You think I'm an idiot, don't you?

Well, Yeah.

Jeez...

Hey! Be careful! That ice could break!

Don't! I dug 5 meters deep once and it was ice all the way down!

You dug through 5 meters of ice...?

Yeah! I was curious to see how far down it went.

Come on! You know, you can skate with shoes too.

Well, this is a relief.

It's good to know you've got the sense to come here and cool off.

Last thing I wanna do is give Gov Kray some trouble.

Huh?

Well, all those higher-ups know that he was the one that saved my life.

So if I go rogue and start causing trouble, they're gonna think I'm misusing his authority.

I can't do that to the Gov.

Wow... You do have a deep side, who'd'a thought?

Know what, I think I understand how you feel.

It's the same for me.

No one ever thinks of me as just "Aina" I've always been "Ellis' younger sister".

And she was the smart one ever since we were little. They called her a child prodigy.

Woah...

But you know what...

I'm actually proud. I'm proud to be Ellis Ardebit's sister.

My sister the cornerstone of the Foresight Labs!

You should be proud of yourself, too.

Huh?

Because you're you, Aina.

Oops...

Ouch! Hey!

...Burnish flame.

Where are you going?!

You call it in, I'm gonna go check it out!

Jeez... Same old Galo...

It's you, Mad Burnish's boss!

It's Lio Fotia.

I already told you once, yGalo Thymos.

What?!

Be quiet. We're trying to eat.

I didn't know you Burnish even ate food?

Ouch!

Is that what you really think of the Burnish?

We're human beings just like you. If we don't eat, we die.

You're right.

Sorry.

Lio...

Hang in there, Thyma. The truck is coming.

A truck?

Helicopters would be too easy to spot.

Gueira and Meis went to find a vehicle that could fit all of us.

But, I don't think that she is gonna...

Let me help!

You?

She's in this condition because of people like you!

and I'm part of a rescue squad.

I have emergency medical training.

I got first aid equipment on my bike.

There's no need.

From flames to ashes, from ashes to Earth.

Rest in peace.

She turned into ashes...?

It's the fate of the Burnish.

What?

The flames burn our body,

but they also give us the power to regenerate it.

While we're alive, our body is eternal.

No matter how much we burn, we recover.

But then, once our lives come to an end,

our bodies turn into ashes.

For real...?

Is it that much of a surprise? All humans die eventually.

We feed the flames until the day we burn out.

That certainty is a blessing.

Are you saying you only live for the flames?

We can hear them. We can hear the cries of their anguish.

"Let me burn harder, burn stronger!"

"I want to blaze harder!"

The flames are alive.

They call to us, and to answer their cries is the destiny of the Burnish.

But we don't kill people.

When the Mad Burnish attack a city, we always provide an escape route.

We take pride in that.

Boss, the truck is ready. There's room for everyone.

Good, let's go. It's dangerous to stay here in there any longer.

Oh, so you're running away again?

That's right. As long as we're being hunted.

Why can't you just stop starting fires?

If you could hold back, wouldn't be able to live a normal life?

Then you wouldn't have to keep running!

Do you honestly believe it's that simple?

...Yeah.

Then you're an idiot

What?

Do you even know what killed her?

It was the Foresight Foundation's experiments.

Huh...?

You really had no idea?

How naive could someone be.

It wasn't just her. They were all almost killed by Kray Foresight.

He dissects us. And kills us. All of it for his research

Even though we're humans, too.

That's a lie!

The Governor would never do anything like that!

You wanna keep ignoring the truth, that's your choice.

Hey! Wait, hey!

Hey! Come back!

Galo! Are you okay?!

Galo...?

You want to return it?

Yeah.

Lio, the guy I captured, escaped.

Nobody reported that to me.

I found him hiding in a cave. He said he escaped from your detention facility.

Even if that is the case,

I don't see why you need to return it.

Some people deserve to wear medals,

and those medals should come from people who deserve to award them.

Neither you or I are worthy of this medal.

I don't understand.

Governor Kray... Is it true that you're doing human experiments...

With Burnish prisoners?

You're my hero.

You saved me, started the Foundation, and even built this city!

How could you do such a horrible thing?!

horrible?

The Burnish are people, too.

They get hungry. They cry when they lose a friend.

You can't just let them start fires,

but you can arrest them and leave it at that!

You can't just kill them for no reason!

I see.

Please follow me.

Ever since the Burnish appeared 30 years ago,

magma from the Earth's corehas been growing out of control

At it's current rate, it will completely cover the planet in six months.

What?

The heck?

The devastation will make the Great World Blaze look like nothing.

Our Earth will become a dead planet.

No way...

Why so many doors...

This is the Parnassus Project. Mankind's last hope.

Is this a... spaceship?

We've discovered a planet very similar to Earth, four light years from here.

Omega Centauri.

The Interstellar cruise vessel Parnassus will be our new Noah's Arc

It will carry 10,000 chosen ones who will migrate to Omega Centauri.

Wait, only 10,000 people?

Yes. That's the maximum number of passengers it can carry.

No way...

You're...

Aina's big sister?

ELLIS

What is he doing here?

It's okay. Progress report.

Oh, yes. We're about to start the final test now.

That's the pizza guy...

What are you doing to him?

Just watch.

Iniate test.

Initiating test.

Initiate Prometech pod.

Activate warp.

Activate Warp!

Stop the Prometech pod.

Stopping the pod.

It was successful.

All our implementation of the Warp engin is in sight.

It's just as I told you. - Wha...?

We should have been using the Prometech engine from the beginning.

That's horrible...

It's a precious sacrifice for the survival of mankind.

Huh?

We can't build the warp engine without the Burnish.

There has be some other way.

If we can just stop the magma, then we won't need to go to another planet.

I considered that, of course..

But with our current technology, there's no way to stop the magma's rampage.

Migration is our best bet.

So, you'll have to sacrifice the Burnish?

Exactly.

Do you understand what I'm doing now?

Yeah, I do.

But there's no way I can accept it!

Okay, what then?

Extinguish the magma. And I'll do it myself!

I knew that's what you'd say, Galo.

What?!

We're short on time. We can't have an idiot making a fuss.

Gov Kray... Why...?

Do not call me "Gov!"

It's "Governor". I've always hated when you say that.

You've never been anything but an eyesore to me!

Take him away.

What the hell is going on here? Why are you doing this, Kray?!

Kray...

Begin the final stage.

We'll install the Prometech engine on the Parnassus.

Biar, call the car.

Yes, sir.

Let me out of here!

Hello! Is anybody out there! Somebody just open the door already!

I shouldn't be in here!

Kray, why?!

Kray, You were my hero! Why?!

You knew I was against this course of action...

We've already completed the production of the pods.

So you were planning to use the Prometech engine from the start...?

Yes. I was just waiting for you to find your resolve.

What kind of person are you...?

We're going to abandon most of mankind.

If you lack the will to make hard decisions,

you aren't going to survive what's coming.

How is the Burnish crackdown going?

Freeze Force has already been deployed.

The Final Act. We're going to be busy.

We're approaching at our destination. Let's show them what we've got!

Who would've thought they'd be hiding right here?

"The darkest place is always under the candle's flame."

And we didn't notice them with all these volcanoes around.

Hey, wait!

Everybody Run! It's Freeze Force!

Woah, careful. We're not trying to kill these guys.

They're our precious fuel!

How the hell did you find us?

Gee, I don't know, kid. Let's see if you can guess.

Watch your back, Lio.

Wha...?

Boss!

You old bastard!

Mr. Vulcan, I've been waiting for you.

You told him. What have you done...?

Now!

Thanks you the sweet old man, we implanted a tracker before you left.

That was foolish.

No, you're the fool!

We don't stand a chance against the Foundation!

Less time you have left, the more you value saving your own skin.

Thank you for your service, old man!

What?

Can't let good fuel go to waste.

Even this old geezer can still be of some use.

Bastard!

Absolute Zero Chain Freezing Bullet!

It freezes by absorbing your body heat.

Good luck burning through that!

By the way, I knew you'd let yourself be captured so you could free the prisoners.

You actually thought you outsmarted us, didn't you?

We saw you coming a mile away!

Not today!

You ended gathered up all the Burnish together for us to pick up!

How considerate!

Let me show you my gratitude.

This is for the boss!

And this is for the settlement!

- We'll make you pay! - We'll make you pay!

Stop it! Get out of here now!

Forget about us!

The Burnish's fire won't fade as long as you're alive!

The boss' flames are invincible!

Please stop!

No, you don't!

Go!

Guys, no!

We did it!

You think you're so smart...

Where did that blast send Lio?

The crater inside Fennel Volcano.

We don't right the kind of equipment to withstand that kind of heat.

It doesn't matter.

There's no way he'll survive. That Absolute Zero bullet won't fail.

Governor Kray.

The test was a success.

Yes, we've confirmed the same from here. Well done, Doctor.

We will commence the Parnassus Project immediately.

Yes, Sir.

We'll start contacting selected citizens in accordance to the simulations.

Hey, were you able find him?

No luck. He wasn't even at the frozen lake.

The last time anyone saw him, he was on his way to see the Governor. It's not like Galo to miss a shift.

It's been a week already.

Jeez, where did that idiot disappear to?

There's just so much new stuff I wanna test out...

I wish you and Galo would stop wasting all this time on your personal projects.

It isn't a "waste of time"! They're for emergency use!

You never know.

"Emergency." Right.

That idiot!

I finally got word from a friend at the city office.

Galo was arrested.

What? But why?

They're saying he's a terrorist.

He was arrested after an alleged attack on the Governor.

Impossible!

Do you think it's true, Captain?

True or not, Galo's been arrested.

Hmm... the whole thing sounds kinda fishy.

Hey! What the heck!

Aina, where are you going!?

You can wait outside.

Don't worry, I'll shout if I need help.

You sure about that?

I'm sure you're not the kind of guy who'd attack an unarmed person.

Aina always said you were honest.

And maybe too blunt for your own good.

Here. You should eat something. It'll be your last supper.

You can't be okay with this.

Aina told me that she's proud of you.

Does she know anything about the migration? Or what you're doing to the Burnish?!

What I tell Aina is none of your business.

She doesn't know, does she? There's no way she'd be okay with this.

You know it's wrong That's why you haven't told her!

It's because if it'd guarantee Aina's survival,

I'm prepared to do anything.

And you think Aina would be able to live with that?

Ellis!

Aina?

Ellis, is it true Galo was arrested?!

Yes.

There must be a mistake. He's not a terrorist!

Please, you have to talk to Governor Kray about it! Help Him!

Aina, I need you to calm down.

Ellis...!

I saw it happen with my own eyes. He really did try to assault the Governor.

Listen to me, Aina.

You need to start thinking about yourself now.

I'm going to contact you soon. Come straight here as soon as you get the call.

Can you do that?

I love you, Aina.

Ellis...

I won't forgive you.

I'm gonna make you pay,

Kray Foresight!

You're gonna feel it. The rage of the Burnish!

What happened?

Unexplained fire have broken out all over Promepolis!

A massive Burnish Flare is coming from underground!

This is a message for Kray Foresight.

Release all Burnish prisoners, immediately.

If not, I will turn Promepolis to ash!

And I will show no mercy.

Is that...? Is that Lio?

That flare...

Is he crying?

Lio Fotia!

I'm surprised you're still alive! So sad it was for nothing1

You're so irritating!

Begone!

Now, you die!

Stupid eyelid!

How long will you hide behind this recluse?!

Show yourself, Kray Foresight!

The source of the fire's moving fast.

We can't keep up!

This is bad, Captain every single one of the Freeze Force interceptors have been shot down.

Varys, get to C-5. That's the worst of it.

The rest of us will do what we can in transit.

Yes, sir!

Galo?

Captain Ignis?!

Captain! You gotta listen! Fire!

Big one! It's moving!

You mean like the one on your ass?

Ouwgh!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

It's hot!

It's hot!

Wait up, guys! I'm coming, too!

But, weren't you... in jail?

Worry about later.

Putting out that fire is our first priority. Same as always.

D'you ecape or something?

Yeah.

Galo!

I am Galo Thymos: the firefighter with a burning soul.

This is right where I belong?!

Yeah!

Tuned her up good as new. Orders from the Captain.

Captain.

Captain, don't worry I've got this!

Aina!

Hmm?

Mad Burnish.

I'm the one you want.

Finally.

Kray!

Kray Foresight!

Bring it on...

Mad Burnish bastard!

Ow! It's hot!

Galo...

...Stay out of this!

It's not... that hot at all!

Your spiteful flames are barely even lukewarm! I was honestly expecting more from you

The temperature of my burning firefighter soul...

A million and ten times...

Hotter!

Oh it's cold. It's cold!

So be it.

You again, Galo Thymos!?

I understand your anger.

I was betrayed by Kray, too.

What?

Even still, I can't just sit back and let it take it out on a bunch of innocent people!

Yeah, right! You're the ones doing human experiments on innocent Burnish!

Didn't you tell me you took pride on not killing people without a reason?

All right, you two! Why don't you cool off a little bit?

Ow! It's hot, it is so hot!

So did you calm down a little?

Guys. Are you seeing this?

...What is this place?

The structure isn't even wet...

It was in some kind of cavity, underneath all that ice...

That is correct.

Greetings, Galo Thymos and Lio Fotia.

That's weird. How do you know our names?

Yeah, and who are you?

I need to speak with you both immediately. Kindly follow me.

What are you doing? Don't follow him!

Great job, everybody.

I can't believe that actually worked...

It's the idiot superpower.

Doesn't matter, man. He's still an idiot.

Where is Aina?

No word from her since she ran off with the idiot.

We don't have to worry about the two of them.

We've got rescue work to do.

You got it, boss!

Governor. The fires in town have been extinguished.

The transport network will soon be back to normal.

Very good. Bring the selected citizens on board and make sure to keep the rest of the population from the ship.

Parnassus is about to launch.

Huh?

Activity in the Earth's core has intensified.

We've run out of time.

Where are we?

Some kind of research facility...?

So... You're not going to announce the Prometech pod?

No.

Killing the Burnish for energy is unconscionable.

I can't make such a thing public.

I understand.

And you haven't told anyone else about it, correct?

You and I are the only ones who know about it.

And the same for the Promare?

That's correct.

Well, that is a relief.

Someone must shoulder the fate of mankind.

And if you won't, then I will.

Actually... It should be me.

You... My research...

Yes. I'm taking it all.

Have you been planning this all along?

I don't know, Maybe I have been.

So Governor Kray is a murderer...

The guy that he killed... He's the one who brought us here...

Exactly. I was murdered by Kray.

Who are you?!

Deus Prometh. A researcher specializing in the Burnish.

Instant freezing agents... Fireproof armor...

All of it... they're all anti-Burnish patents belonging to the Foundation!

Those are all my inventions.

Kray stole them and released them as his own.

So, how are you talking to us?

I have backed my entire consciousness into this computer.

So that I might live once again, after the termination of my physical body.

Of course, I made sure Kray didn't find out.

A virtual personality...?

How did you know our names?

I was able to hack into Promepolis's network.

I stay informed on whatever happens there,

so that I can keep an eye on Kray.

What's going on?

Is that...!

Volcanic eruption in South-West Promepolis.

Core magma activity?

Core magma activity is in our projected models.

Good. Get ready for departure.

All of the passengers are already on board.

Governor, please. You have to wait.

What's wrong?

Aina isn't on board!

We tried to contact her, but she didn't respond to the transmission.

You can't launch until she gets here!

What are you saying?

If she doesn't survive, this was all for nothing!

We'll wait as long as possible, but we can't postphone the launch because of one single person.

I'm sure you understand.

Return to your post, Doctor Ellis.

Kray...

Immediately.

What is that?!

It's a spaceship.

Kray took me underground and showed me.

What?

Magma's about to gush out of the earth and go

KABOOM!

Their plan is to run away to another planet.

The ship can only hold 10,000 people.

Only 10,000...?

And that's not all, the ship is human-powered.

What?

They're going to use Burnish' flames as fuel their warp engine.

Using that fuel will cause them their life.

That monster...!

I know.

Galo, my sister... Was she working on this thing?

She was, wasn't she...?

Yeah.

Kray is a fool. What he fails to realize,

is that the instant he ignites that incomplete engine,

the entire Earth will be destroyed.

Whoa, wait. What?

If he hurts the Burnish with the Prometech engine,

the Promare in the Earth's core will retaliate.

The planet will be doomed.

What do you mean?

The energy the Burnish use only appear to be flames.

They are in fact a fire-based life form from a parallel universe.

What? a "Fire-based life form?"

I named them the "Promare."

Promare...?

Correct. Together, they form a sentient fixed star

in this parallel universe.

In other words, it's an aggregate of living organisms,

achieving life through nuclear fusion and consciousness via electromagnetic field.

What we see as flames are but a fraction of their energy seeping through a space-time rupture.

What's this old guy even talking about?

30 years ago, a distortion of space and time,

linked Earth's core to the Promare Universe.

Some human beings resonate with the Promare,

and thus can use their power and will.

Some humans... you mean the Burnish?

That is correct.

So it's the Promare, their voices,

pushing us to burn harder and stronger.

If that's true, then everything we've been doing here...

Harnessing the Promare's inter-dimensional energy,

it is indeed possible to achieve teleportation.

But the nerve signals of a Burnish are linked to the Promare they've synced with.

The Promare feel the Burnish' pain.

If these incomplete Prometech pods cause a large number of Burnish great pain,

the Promare in Earth's core will spiral out of control, destroying the planet.

So, Promare are located in the center of the eart?

That is where the space-time rupture is.

And that is where the Promare live.

Galo Thymos.

Lio Fotia.

I want you to stop Kray Foresight.

Wait, Us?

Yes. using the complete Prometech Engine

that I have built

But How?

With this!

A super weapon I've created in the event of a Promare disaster.

Deus X Machina!

DEUS X MACHINA

Well, this thing looks like a lot of fun!

How did they already get in there?

The completed Prometech engine causes no pain.

It uses Lio's body as a gateway, through which the Promare energy is channeled.

All you have to do is to focus on synchronizing with the Promare.

Why us?

Why made you choose the two of us?

I did not choose you. You just happened to land here.

Huh?

Kray has to be stopped,

but I could not do anything on my own.

Then out of nowhere, you two showed up.

It seems mankind still has luck on its side.

Yeah but... what would you have if no one showed up?

I suppose Kray's plan would have doomed the Earth.

What's this guy's deal?

I am not a "guy," I am a computer.

And now the fate of planet Earth is in your hands.

My work here is done. Farewell.

Wha... Wait, Professor?!

So, are you feelin conflicted?

Yeah, you probably are.

You just found out your flames are aliens.

What do you know about how I feel?

Absolutely nothing, I guess!

All I really know is if there's a fire, I'll put it out.

So you gotta do what you do, and burn out.

Wait, what?

Yeah, uphold your Burnish pride. That's what I'm talking about!

Yeah.

Let's do this. We'll save the Burnish and the Earth.

I like your style!

All systems check. Ready for departure.

Very good. Start up the Prometech engine.

Prometech engine...

Activate...

That's...

The warp gate. Keep going, Doctor Ellis!

Watch as we open the door to mankind's future!

What the heck is that?

What was that?

This makes no sense... Volcanoes are erupting simultaneously all over the world...

At long last.

Large unidentified machine approaching. It's not responding to hails!

Impossible...?

Attack with all weapons!

Fire freezing missiles.

Use conventional ammunition as well.

That's an order.

Fire!

Collision on deck. Target has stopped.

Is it dead?

That hurt! What the hell are you doing? You're supposed to be piloting this thing!

Man, I'm sorry! For some reason, I just can't get into the zone.

What are you talking about?

This suit... I just...

I mean look how lame the design is. I can't my firefighter sould to burn in this thing!

This is the crap I get after you insist I come out here?!

Well, we can't sit here! How about this?

Yeah, good call! That's what I'm talking about!

This is my JAM!

That thing is showing an extremely powerful Burnish signal!

According to these readings, it's more pure than the Prometech Engine!

Even if the ideals you look up to come crashing to the ground,

Your hope will never be broken!

A burning firefighter and an ice-cold firestarter!

Oil and water combined as one!

Absolute Firefighter Lio De Galon!

LIO DE GALON

We'll extinguish every last fire on Earth!

What the hell are you talking about?

"Deus X Whatever" doesn't really have enough impact!

Its new name is Lio De Galon!

Gotta love my modesty, I coulda called it Galo De Lion.

Shut up and fight.

I knew it! that machine is the Deus X Machina...

I didn't know it was completed...

Hyper. Fire. Safety. PUNCH!

That voice... is that Galo?

It was.

What is he doing...?

Where did he find it?

Where did it come from? I need answers!

What the hell is going on, Galo!?

Ellis, do you read me? Come in! It's me, Aina.

Aina! Where have you been?

I'm fine. But more importantly, look at this.

If you start the Prometech engine, the Earth's core is going to go out of control!

You cannot launch that ship!

That's Professor Deus!

The Governor killed him...?

This footage is...

It's only a video. They're easily falsified. Do not let the rebels' tricks get to you.

Is what I'm seeing real? Did the Governor really murder Professor Deus?

He did. Deus told me himself.

Anyway. Kray's engine is incomplete!

If it fully activates like this, at this rate, the Earth will end up as a sea of-

Aina? Aina!

You shut off external communications, didn't you?

Kray....

No, it wasn't me. An attack from that robot must have been the cause.

Killer move, One Match Arson Kick!

Kick!

Kick! Kick! Kick!

Hey Burnish prisoners, where are you? We're here!

Everyone, hold on!

Ellis, the robot is insignificant.

Now set the engine to full power. We're warping at once.

Don't you care what happens to the planet?

It'll be destroyed sooner or later either way.

Concentrate on the migration project.

You... You knew, didn't you?

That using the Prometech engine would destroy the planet.

It's either now or in six months.

I... understand.

Prometech engine, full power.

Oh no! They're about to warp!

Damn it!

Tell me! Where are the Burnish?

We have to abort. They're going to destroy the bridge!

All personnel move to the second bridge.

Transfer the ships's main system controls to the second bridge as well.

Huh?

I will get rid of them.

Biar, take control of the launch procedures.

Yes, sir.

Galo, you're pushing your luck!

Huh? What's that?

Your futile struggle...

is now over!

That voice... it's Kray!

Kray@ Free the Burnish!!

Filthy terrorists. How dare you?

AHHHHH!

What?

The buildings... They turned them into dirt!?

Genocide Cultivation Beam.

It destroys mountains, turning them into farmland

Just one of the terraforming tools we'll use on our new planet.

I wasn't expecting to have to use it here.

Hey, what about the people inside?!

They're all in underground shelters, obviously.

Damn you!

If you could make things like that, why didn't you use your science to get the magma under control?!

I tried and I couldn't! That's why we were forced to migrate!

Do you really wanna destroy mankind?!

If you already know it's gonna be destroyed, then just have to stop it!

You can think about the rest later!

You hopeless idiot!

I'm not gonna let you commit any more atrocities!

Our Lio De Galon,

versus YOUR Krazor X!

KRAZOR X

Time to find out which one's more powerful!

Lio!

Got it!

So you've stopped Lio De Galon's flames!

Most impressive, Krazor X!

But NOW...

Take this, Krazor X!!

Stop...

making up...

Stupid names...

PULVERIZING PILE DRIVER

Designed to break through hard bedrock to reach water veins.

Compared to this, your armor is nothing, like paper!

That robot's bad news.

I know. No way we can win like this.

Damn it. I wish I had my Matoi gear.

Matoi?!

That weird costume you were wearing before?

It's not "weird", it's "cool"!

It embodies the firefighter heritage of a far-off island nation!

Yeah, Yeah. I got you.

Something like this?

Bring it on!

Nothing in the world gets me fired up like Matoi!!

Gaze in awe! Lio De Galon, Matoi Decked Out!

What?

Ellis...

Doctor! The engine's out of control because it's being over-fueled!

At this rate, the central pod's going to overheat. If we don't do something, it's going to explode!

Ellis, what's going on?

I've destroyed the central pod by overloading it with energy.

The Prometech Engine is now inoperable.

You did this intentionally?!

I was a fool to have ever believed in you, Kray.

That idiot... She's been blinded by her love for her sister!

Call Colonel Vulcan at once!

Ow.

Looks like the Parnassus just crashed.

The warp gate must have closed.

The death of the Earth is now inevitable.

This ship and its passengers are the only future for mankind.

And it's Kray Foresight who'll CREATE THAT FUTURE!!

Absolute Zero Heat Death Cannon!

It's the ultimate freezing weapon, created for protection from

Promare attacks and solar flares in our new planet.

If you've got something like that, why don't you use it to save Earth?!

You have to be inside the planet core for that to work.

This machine couldn't withstand those conditions.

You're just wanna leave no matter what.

How about you cool that hard head of yours before you try freezing us?!

Do you two idiots really think you can beat me?!

I'll send you absolute freezing hell!

Galo! You didn't even try to dodge thatt!

What are you planning to do?

Just grin and bear it! That's all!

You are an idiot?!

Yeah, the world's number one firefighting idiot!

I'm gonna put 'em out now.

Not only your flames, but your stupid ambitions too!

Okay! Let's do it!

I dare you to come and take your best shot!

Did we get him?

Wait. Look.

Does saving the Burnish mean that much to you, Lio Fotia?

Guess what, your'e going to fail. Because the Burnish are destined to die.

Listen. Listen to their death throes of your friends.

Bastard!

If you hate me so much, then kill me. Lio Fotia!

Do it!

Be careful what you wish for... Kray!

Just stop it! Calm down!

Don't kill him!

I'll never...

Forgive you!

Did you really think you'll be able to burn me...

With your pathetic flames?

You Burnish really are just a bunch of fools.

What?

Impossible... Are you?

Indeed!

I was cursed with the same mutation.

That's why I understand...

Yes! I understand how difficult it is to have a strong enough will

to control the flames, as well as as to control the urge to burn everything to the GROUND!

The Burnish live under the control of the Promare.

They're nothing but slaves to their instincts!

You make it sound like you're any different!

That's because I AM!!!!!

Don't even try.

My Burnish power is stronger than yours will ever be.

Damn it...

Still, as long as I have you, I can harness your power to restart my Prometech Engine!

You'll be the engine's core now.

What?

I thank you!

Let him go now, Kray!

Good grief.

From the very moment we've met, I hated the sight of you.

I had my first Burnish spasm when I was a student.

I was trying to hold back the flames, but I couldn't.

So you're saying that you didn't save me?!

No, it was a complete accident.

But it was a good opportunity to build my reputaion.

No way...

I had you placed in Burning Rescue because it was the job with the highest mortality rate.

I wanted to get rid of you, but you kept surviving

and you kept coming back!

My life has always gone according to plan.

Except when it comes to you!

You're not just an idiot, you're a cancer!

You were... my hero.

This is the end for you.

Galo!

You monster!

No...

I am a hero!

The Saviour of Mankind!

Nowhere left to run.

You know, that wasn't very smart of you. Turning Against the Governor.

She'd rather jump than face me.

What?

You cheeky bastard!

Aina!

We made it! Let's go get Galo!

Galo!

The Burnish are inside these pods surrounding us.

You'll fly us all over the stars, powered by the Burnish' screams.

You shall become the legend.

An undeserved distinction for a Burnish fool.

You won't get away with this.

That's right! Go on, get angry!

All your rage will be fuel for my Prometech Engine.

This is Kray. Restart the countdown now.

We warp in five minutes.

Understand.

Parnassus, five minutes to warp.

Galo! Galo!

He's still on fire.

Wait!

Are you okay, Galo?

...Yeah.

Lio's flames protected me.

The ship. It's gonna warp!

How?! I destroyed the engine!

He's using Lio to replace the core!

Doctor, where's the Engine?

What are you gonna do?

Isn't it obvious? I'm gonna save Lio.

I'd ask how, but I know your plan is to

just run head first into the core, isn't it?

Yeah! I'm a Burning Rescue member.

Firefight and Rescue is what I do.

I'll save Lio and extinguish the-

Ignis!

Hand over the doctor and that punk.

Or I'll consider you a traitor as well.

Not gonna happen.

You've got some balls defying Freeze Force, Ignis.

This is an emergency situation. We're authorized to fight.

Doesn't matter, you're all gonna get burned!

I refuse.

We firmly refuse!

Lucia!

Aye-aye, Captain!

I installed some drill gear on the spare Matoi Tech just in case.

Cuz "you never know".

A new drill?

Yep! The drill of your dreams can penetrate any armor!

Also, I sent you a schematic of the Parnassus.

I'll calculate the angle and launch ya straight to the engine.

Nice, Lucia.

Skip the silly announcements Just get going!

Go get him!

I'm coming, Lio!

This is...

Vulcan!

Ignis!

How long is this gonna go on?

Methinks there's a good chance we're gonna run out of time!

Promare activity has increased.

Galo...

Lio!

Lio, Are you okay?!

Oh no!

Why are you still alive? Why can't I get rid of you?

This is a rescue operation. Back off!

I'll extinguish you.

No, Extinguishing...

IS MY JOB!!!

Give up! You can't beat me!

What?!

It's just like before.

Lio's fire protected me from those flames of yours.

This little spark is my shield.

Now here's what I'm gonna do: Save him. Save Earth. And even save you.

Save me?

Just shut up and watch.

Come on! Stay with me!

Lio! Come on!

Damn it! Don't you disappear on me!

I gotta do something.

Ga... Galo?

Hey, you're Awake. Welcome back!

D-did you save me?

What have I done?!

For the first time in my whole life, I lit a fire!

Because of you!

Oh, you better fix this you JERK!

How about, you and I burn the Earth to the ground.

Huh?

When I was in the Pod,

I synced with the Promare in the Earth's core, and I understand now.

Their combustion is incomplete.

We have to let them burn out just once.

Lio, have you lost your mind? How can you even ask me, a firefighter, to do that?!

That's why we need you, your firefighter's soul.

This time, let's call it:

Galo De Lion.

Wait! Stop it! What are you doing?!

Thought that would be obvious. We're going firefighting.

We'll extinguish the Earth's magma and the flames of your ambition.

We'll need help from all the Burnish too!

With all of our flames, we can ignite the whole planet!

You've got it, Boss!

Yeah! Let's do this, Boss!

Boss!

Now I'll show you my burning firefighter's soul!

What?

Damn it... He didn't make it in time...

But, these flames are...

Yeah, that's right.

They're not hot.

It's like what happened with Galo earlier. They're protecting us.

That's right. The Promare synced with human will.

With my desire to burn everything on Earth to the ground...

And my will. The will to save human lives from fire...

With those desires joined as one!

GALO DE LION

Now our flames will burn out the entire Earth!

Total incineration of the entire planet Earth!

I'll extinguish you with my soul!

What did you do?

We satisfied the Promare's primal drive to burn,

sent them back to their universe

and closed the dimensional rupture.

There are no more Promare, and no more Burnish in this world anymore.

It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Whoo YEAH! What a blaze!

This is the beginning.

A new beginning for this city.

Time to clean up after the fire.

Lio, you're gonna help, too.

What?

We're low on manpower. So everyone's gotta do their part.

Let's get your friends to pitch in.

Wait...?!

Don't worry! If you get any heat, I'll put 'em out!

Through spark and flame, I got your back.

I swear, Galo. You really are an idiot.

Yeah.

I'm the universe's number one firefighting idiot!
