Destination Forks: The Real World of Twilight

Reunion in the Den of Evil

It's him...

Why is he here?

The Black Swordsman...

We're getting out of here, Isidoro.

Make sure those two get out.

Right! You can count on me!

I found an escape route in the back.

You're gonna owe me.

I charge high interest.

Save the talk for after we get out alive.

I'm so tired!

I bet I broke the sound barrier.

It appears they're fighting off heretics.

That does not mean they are our allies.

Have you all forgotten?

He's taken the lives of our comrades.

What should we do?

Should we also capture the Black Swordsman, Lady Farnese?

That will not be necessary.

We are in the midst of battle!

Kill all who do not offer their surrender!

Lady Farnese, if I may...

We are to take the Black Swordsman alive—

Silence!

If we do not act, we shall only suffer more casualties!

There is no doubt they are heretics.

Annihilate them, along with the Black Swordsman!

We have pledged our swords to God. We cannot allow ourselves to fear!

All troops, attack!

So, fight fire with fire, huh?

Don't get distracted.

Let's go.

Show us the way, Isidoro!

No!

Do not let him get away!

Lady Farnese!

Oh, dear...

It's up there.

Won't let you have witch...

Consummate... Mine...

Stay back.

Without Godo's armor, my spine would've been snapped in half.

Make him into goat stew!

Isidoro, take those two and go ahead.

But...

I'm leaving Casca to you.

Fine...

Don't die!

Wait...

Leave her!

You keep forcing Casca away from me.

You're like a half-Apostle.

I guess your being here means there's some truth to the old skeleton's words.

Kill.

Trample you...

Skewer you!

But I can't leave her behind in such a foul place.

This time, I'll take her with me for sure!

Looks like one or two arrows have no effect.

Guess I'll give this a try.

One...

Two.

Three.

These explosive bombs aren't bad.

Lady Farnese,

in this chaos, it is too dangerous

for our commander to endanger her own person in battle!

Please retreat to the cave entrance!

But...

Escort the commander!

Yes, sir!

Come, Lady Farnese.

Azan!

Leave the rest to me!

Let me go!

Come with me, Officer of Arms!

Serpico, where are you?

I hope they didn't fall.

I have been waiting for you, Black Swordsman.

Huh?

Wait a...

That was uncalled for.

What was that sound?

Don't talk to me right now...

Hey!

There's no path!

Were the heretics planning to escape by jumping off or something?

What now, monkey pants?

Hey, look.

I see!

With this, we're golden!

No way.

I can't do this.

It'll be fine.

I'll lower the rope.

Just like lowering boxes.

But...

If it doesn't work for you, jump.

Okay, I'll do it.

This lady's the problem...

I'm getting sucked in!

Damn.

On principle, I prevent people from drawing their weapons.

Either way, you can't swing that sword of yours here.

Bastard...

I made the right choice, getting ahead of you.

To think I'd chance upon such perfect terrain to fight you.

I suppose this might be a sign of God's grace.

Above all...

Trying to overwhelm you with sheer numbers is madness.

If you can cut down ten men with that sword,

it's enough to change the tide of battle in an instant.

Allies infected by fear are even worse foes than the enemy.

He's good.

I can't even get a chance to draw my blade!

You provoke our Lady Farnese a bit too much.

I have to get rid of you!

Don't look down.

Don't look down.

Don't look down...

I'm falling!

I reached the bottom.

I'm okay.

Good.

All right, don't struggle...

The westward sun, shining in your eyes.

The cramped, unstable footing.

Your hulking body, encumbered by armor.

Your sword arm, made useless by the rocks.

They all serve to shackle you!

He's not just a glib talker.

He's highly skilled with his sword.

His attacks are so versatile, I can't predict them.

He's a far more challenging foe than that half-Apostle earlier!

Right now, I can't waste time here!

Are you worried about those girls?

My comrades are waiting for them up ahead.

I'm sure they have already been taken into custody!

That's a total bluff...

I need you even more on edge.

I don't think I can win in a fair fight.

How foolhardy...

Fool? Not as much as you think.

If I were to pull back my blade, your fingers would—

I have my reflexes. And my strong arms.

Also, I have really thick skin on my palms.

I didn't expect him to dodge like that.

On top of that, he moves like a pickpocket.

His quick wits let him use a weapon he's only seen once.

He's more cunning than I thought.

Like a fox.

I shouldn't do things so out of character...

Really, it's unlike me to get so worked up.

With this many men,

how could you fail to capture the Black Swordsman,

much less prevent him from entering the cave?!

I am deeply sorry.

We were taken by surprise.
