Shiva castle.
No. That's a mirage.
Shiva castle does that to invite people in.
We were chosen by the person who invited us to this plan.
They calculated each one of our special talents.
In order for us to steal the treasure, that is.
So, Cobra... What's your role?
Why were you chosen?
It's because I've been to that castle once before.
Episode 12 The Devil of the Temple
We're nearing land.
The water is getting shallower.
Look, a forest.
That is Saldora, of the Great Shiva Kingdom.
At the tip of the forest is the Temple of Saldora.
The underground waterway that leads to Shiva Castle is underneath that temple.
This forest is known as the Fairy Forest.
It's the most beautiful place in Saldora... The place of my birth.
That's in the past.
Don't forget that this land is a battleground under the occupation of the Chaos Army.
Fairy Forest?
Looks like it's home to a bunch of monsters to me.
What the hell's with this place?
Cobra, what are you doing?
Fishin'.
Sure, take is easy why don't you?
We didn't come here for a camp and a hike, you know.
We came here to war!
What's this guy?
Careful now. There's a whole bunch of 'em around the ship.
Chaos Troops?!
Wait! He's not one of the Chaos Troops!
He's an ally!
They're Logians!
Partisan resistance against the Chaos Troops in this forest.
What?
Hey, you ever eaten frog legs? They're not bad at all.
Oh? I'm shocked that you've tasted French cooking.
Shut up, be quiet!
You damn broken monitor!
Oh no you didn't...
Hey, are you gonna just sit there and let him say that?
H-Hey, hold it...
Why you... Wanna do this?
Ow! Damn you!
What are you...
I was trying to stop her!
Shut up!
Cobra, this isn't good.
It sounds like the entrance to the underground waterway was shut off.
Oh? Then what should we do?
The door to the underground waterway is underneath the Temple of Saldora.
We have to go there and open the door.
You're saying to go to the town of Saldora that's crawling with Chaos Army?
That'd be writing our own death warrants... It's nuts.
I'll go.
Hey!
Let her go. Ellis has special powers.
Wait, Ellis!
I'll go to the temple and open the door!
Wait for me until daybreak!
There's no need to fear. I'm sure she can do it.
Twenty years ago when I lost my memories, I was wandering around this forest.
She saved me.
This fairy saved me.
Cobra, are you asleep?
What is it, Eight?
My name is Judy.
So, Cobra... Would you partner with me?
That Jack guy's bad to the core, and the woman is a professional killer.
And that freaky giant guy who lost his memories and the fairy, too...
I can't trust any of them.
You're the only one I can believe in, Cobra.
But you've got your buddy Seven there.
Frank? That man's worthless.
He's all talk... Useless!
I'll show you how stupid this man is...
It was one year ago, when we were still in separate bodies...
Frank and I had slipped into a bank in Chicago.
Frank, hurry up! It's almost time for the guards to make their rounds!
Oh shut up, would ya? I can't concentrate and open it with you blabbing the whole time!
What are you talking about?
Weren't you the one that asked me to come with you 'cause you weren't confident by yourself?
Yeah, right! Like I'd ever say somethin' like that!
All you did is tag along!
Um...
What's wrong?
Oops. I cut the next cord over...
Huh? What'll happen?
And so the both of us were blown to smithereens.
If I could get my hands on the treasure of Shiva castle, I could get a real flesh and blood body!
As long as you have the money, you can even get a human woman's body, you know.
And then... with you...
Cobra, look at the body I used to have...
If you get the money, upgrade yourself to a color TV first.
What?! I'm very sensitive about that!
It's the temple priests.
What's the matter, King?
Ellis, Ellis has been captured!
King!
Don't go! King, don't go alone!
King's heading toward the temple. After him!
Cobra!
Queen, get on the submarine!
We'll rendezvous underneath the temple!
The temple.
Damn, their beast mecha are here.
We can't get close with them around.
No complaining now that we're here.
Let's barge in and open the water gate already.
Not yet.
We don't know where King and Ellis are.
We've got to find them first.
And since when'd you start caring about your partners, Mr. I've got a bounty on my head?
Getting past the water gate would be fine, but after that, then what?
Only King knows the approach to Shiva castle.
Oh, I see. So you're saying we need them.
We'll split up and search for them.
In 30 minutes, meet up again here.
Careful, Cobra.
I might just shoot you by accident, you know.
I'll give you the codeword... 90, 60, 90.
What's that?
Don't you know? It's Marilyn Monroe's measurements.
Monroe's measurements?
Sorry, but I need to borrow your clothes.
Huh? What's this?
That's surprising... He managed to do in those beast mecha...
It's King!
What are you hanging around here for?
You heard the man, we should be searching for them!
Oh, shut up... I was born into high society, you know!
I'll leave this sort of stuff to them.
Sheesh, I can't believe people like you.
You're such a coward!
90!
60!
It's the codeword!
What were Monroe's measurements again?
How the heck should I know?
Where's the hip size, come on!
I'm 87 cm...
King was taken into the temple.
I don't know about Ellis.
Okay then, into the temple.
Put these on.
Hi!
You idiot!
What the hell were you thinking?
I was just greeting them so we don't seem suspicious!
I can see light inside. There's something there.
Ellis!
Oh God of Darkness that brings up glory and prosperity!
Great God on high!
We present you with this virgin sacrifice!
It's a living sacrifice!
Ooh, I've never seen this before!
Me neither. First time I've actually seen a virgin.
Seven/Eight, get their attention.
But, how?
Our God... God of Darkness, appear before us!
Will this come through?
Looks like it is...
They're coming this way!
Ellis, are you hurt?
Cobra...
All right! The priests are all wiped out!
Cobra, look! That's the water gate.
This is connected to the door in the underground waterway.
I see.
So if we open this, we open the waterway.
Well what a surprise... This is quite an interesting device.
We need a human body to open this lock.
That's why they needed the human sacrifice.
Which means we got in the way of them opening the door.
Sacrifice yourself, Cobra. Off yourself for me.
Wouldn't work.
'Cause I'm not a virgin, after all.
The virgin thing actually doesn't matter.
It's blood. Blood is what's needed to open this thing.
I was planning on waiting until after the job, but I guess I'm gonna have to kill you here.
Gonna get revenge for your buddy?
Admit it, that really isn't your style...
Stop this foolishness, you two!
It's the head priest, Engola.
He's an evil man who joined the Chaos Army even though he was human.
So, you want me to say thanks? Or maybe forgive you?
I don't really care. It's not my style.
Look, the blood!
The door's locks have opened.
All right! The door has opened!
But there's one thing that worries me.
What?
The head priest said it earlier...
"God of Darkness, appear before us!" or something...
Whatever... There's no god here...
Oh, speak of the Devil...
King!
Get down!
What?
His body's made of energy!
Guns won't have any effect! Run!
Get to the basement!
Queen should be coming there!
Hurry!
It's opening...
The water gate is opening!
Did you just see that? It was a dragon!
And, your point?
Why the hell is there a dragon here?
I don't understand what you're getting at!
Cobra! Over here!
King!
Dive! Full speed ahead!
Ellis, hurry!
Hang on, here we go!
Okay.
Cobra, we aren't moving.
Damn it, it's the beast mecha!
The partisans! They came to rescue us!
The surface is getting brighter.
We've entered the lake...
King, hang in there! King!
Cobra, proceed exactly as I say.
The castle is there.
It seems like a lake, but it's completely covered in fog so I can't see a thing.
I guess we've hit the bank.
Okay, I'll go take a look.
King, it was just like you said...
Cobra...
He's lost consciousness.
With such a wound, even King...
Watch over King. I'll take a look outside.
Romila... Romila! Don't die!
King, what is it?
Have you remembered something?
Have your memories returned?
Back then, the castle...
Our goal, Shiva castle, is right in front of us!
And it seems like King has started to remember his past.
The one moment of his sad past...
As his beloved Queen Romila was killed before his eyes.
And that the person who did it had a gun on his left arm.
Looks likes there's more twists and turns coming up taking back Shiva castle!
