Clevatess (Kurebatesu) (2025) s01e04 Episode Script

S-Save me!
I knew this wouldn't be fun, but
Not being able to breathe
is incredibly painful
My head's going numb, and I can't see.
My whole body is screaming
for me to start flailing my arms.
My brain knows I won't die,
but my body struggles
to remain alive regardless
No, just endure
Until you find the sword
Is this the bottom?
There it is!
My whole body's so heavy
It's numb and feels like lead.
So this is what happens
when you can't breathe?
But the Regalia sword makes
its user more powerful
If I can just get my hands on the sword
An eye?
No I'm not at the bottom of the lake!
I'm on top of a giant underwater dark beast!
CLEVATESS
It's huge!
Episode 4
Magical Talent
To think something this huge was lurking
at the bottom of the Shaft of Elbe
The sword!
It's sucking me in?!
Alicia, your arms are weaker than a man's,
but you're better at drawing out
a sword's strength than anyone.
You'll make a fine hero.
It got me in the stomach, but I've got the sword!
Let me hear your scream, Stream Splitter!
There it is!
Slice the sword in a line,
and it will split through the water
Swing horizontally
and it will propel you forward
Almost like a fish.
The water makes it even stronger
The reason the legendary hero lost,
even in an environment
where he had the advantage
was probably this thing.
It's so huge that it's hard
to believe it's of this world.
It must be an Ancient One.
Dark beasts said to live
for tens of thousands of years.
They sleep for ages,
and only rarely show themselves.
So this one must've been dug up by accident
during the mining of the arcanacite.
Khordhwar lost without having any idea
what he was up against
The Arvensis noticed him too
Even with the Regalia boosting my strength,
I still don't have any oxygen.
I can't fight here!
First
I need to breathe!
There's the woman!
Hey, she's got the Regalia!
What the hell is that monster?!
An octopus?
No! No! No!
Save me!
Yeah, this isn't gonna work
The Regalia can cut through its skin,
but I can only reach the tip of its legs.
A single hero can't fight
an Ancient One to begin with.
Help me! Help me! Help me!
Even the Arvensis are just
watching from a distance
I need to get out of here.
Hey, wait!
Save me! If you need
an apology, then I'm sorry!
We'll do whatever you want!
We'll quit the Ravens!
Please! You're a hero, ain't ya?
Don't think you can ask a hero
for help after all you've done.
And I'm no longer a normal hero.
I'm the slave of something
far scarier than that Ancient One.
Wait!
Wait!
Both the Ancient One
and the Arvensis are water beasts.
They won't leave the water.
Which means they won't leave
the shaft probably.
Klen wanted me to crush the bandits,
and I suppose I've done it.
Most of them are dead,
and with that thing awake,
the survivors won't be staying here.
I wish I could've done more,
but I did get this sword.
It'll have to do.
Hey, Alicia.
Klen?
Calm down.
I'm speaking to you through the dark ichor.
I didn't see it myself,
but the blood tells me you've finished.
Seems like it was pretty difficult, though.
It wasn't just "pretty" difficult!
I ran out of air,
I had to deal with an Ancient One
And if you noticed, why didn't you help?
Sorry, but I'm dealing
with a bit of a problem here.
A problem? You're a Lord of Dark Beasts!
Part of it is that I'm in human form,
but I'm having a tough time
with a technique I've never seen before.
You hid the existence of "magic"
from me, didn't you, Alicia?
Get over here so I can punish you properly.
Now.
Damn it!
Wh-What the hell is that kid?
What the hell was that?
I've never heard of magic that could
physically strike something!
What school is it?
I don't know!
Am I behind the times,
like I was afraid I might be?
Damn it!
Hey, Klen!
You wanted me here
so I came as soon as I could!
You're late.
I ran as fast as I could!
You know I can't disobey your orders!
But what the hell is this smoke?
What's that sword?
You can't have it!
I'm not getting rid of this!
I risked my life to get it!
Well, whatever.
The problem is this smoke.
It seems that normal animals like that one
are unaffected.
As are you.
It only affects the senses of a dark beast.
I can't smell anything and my ears are ringing.
It feels disgusting.
I could just transform and blow it all away,
but it's cramped in here,
and I don't know where Luna is, either.
You don't know where Luna is?
Luna should be up ahead,
but is no longer in sight.
Luna is with Nell, who's barely alive.
I don't think they could have moved
The wet nurse you wanted to hire?
Thanks to this awful smoke,
I can't smell them.
Do something, Alicia.
You know about this
"magic" stuff, don't you?
I know about it,
but I have no talent for magic.
What?
Some people can use it,
and some people can't.
Magic uses arcanacite
for everything it does.
For most people,
it's just an ordinary stone.
But there are some people who can,
if they use it properly,
draw out its hidden power, supposedly.
To me, it's just a rock.
You really are useless.
Shut up!
Just so you know, some of the heroes
you killed could use it!
You just killed them
before they had a chance--
Hey, listen to me!
I guess we'll just have
to search for them
Though it's possible they're already dead.
Hey, Klen
If Luna is dead, what will you do?
What will I do?
No, I won't do anything.
I'll just
lose any interest I had in humanity.
That's all.
I knew it
He's already determined to destroy humanity.
Luna's the only thing slowing that down.
Luna needs to be found
Was Nell bleeding?
Yes. Though I stopped some of it.
But she shouldn't have been able
to move at all.
So she either managed
to crawl off somewhere,
or something dragged her
Either way, she couldn't have gone far.
Let's go!
Die already!
I will not
Get off me!
Damn it! Let go!
This cape is made from
the feathers of the Blackfeather Bird!
There are no others like it in the world!
Damn it! I can't get her off
I need to get this baby out of here
You're the one
There you are.
This is magic talent!
And powerful, too!
Pure-blooded Hidenean magic talent
Don't tell me
I won't let go of this baby, no matter what.
If I have to cut off her wrist
Wait!
What are you going to do with that knife?
You!
What are you doing here?
What happened to Dagarn and Satch?
They
They've become dark beast shit.
Well, they were actually food
for something, so it's not a bad end.
No matter how you were born,
or what you do in life,
when you die, you're food.
It seems Nell used all the strength she had.
Don't come any closer!
Every step you take, I'll cut off
one of this kid's fingers!
Got it?! I swear I'll do it!
Do what you want.
H-Huh?
Wait, Klen! He's the type
who'll actually do it, even to a baby!
I can just heal the wounds.
You can't erase the pain! I know that!
Leave this to me.
Hey, Vroko.
Let's make a deal.
A deal?
The Hiden crest that red light
Is that
Yes, it's a Hiden Regalia!
I got it from the bottom of the lake!
This is what you wanted, right?
So, take it.
But you can't get it out of the rock
without using both of your hands.
Put Luna down, retrieve the sword,
and you can have it.
Run away, or use it to attack me.
But try anything funny
and I'll extricate the sword and kill you.
Now, what will you do?
Will you die here? Or take the sword?
To think a hero would
relinquish a Regalia so easily
But now I'm sure of it!
This baby has Hidenean royal blood!
I knew it
That means one Regalia isn't worth it!
I need more!
What?
If you don't want me to die
with the baby right here,
you need to tell me where you
and your comrades' 13 swords are!
That's what this baby's worth!
Tell him. They're just swords.
All 13 of them are at the bottom of the canyon
in the great cave on Luna Mountain.
Go get them yourself.
Yes, of course I will.
I'll go, of course.
What?
You thought I was incapable of
getting them, but you're wrong, hero!
I have invisibility magic!
And with the magic talent
of the royal bloodline
my magic will be perfect!
He disappeared.
They can't see me. They can't see me!
My invisibility magic is perfect.
I hate to give up Khordhwar's sword,
but they'll know where I am
if I try to pull it out.
Well, I've still got my 13 swords
And with this baby, I'm unstoppable!
I'll be able to get my revenge
on the Organization for mocking me!
Huh?!
H-How
Could you see me?
Not at all.
But I could hear you.
And, of course,
I could hear where Luna was crying.
You were so proud of your spell
What the hell?
you didn't even notice
the baby crying in your arms.
The invisibility breaks
if you dust off the powder.
I'll leave the powder on him
But it's thanks to that Nell girl
that we made it.
She looks kind of relieved, somehow
She's still breathing
Can't you save her?
I can't control more than one person
with the dark ichor.
And her body is missing many pieces.
I'd have to replace them from somewhere.
I don't know if it's worth going that far.
We should save her!
She tried to protect Luna
until the very end!
Not just anyone could do that.
If I were Luna's mother, I would want to
leave my baby in the care
of someone like that.
So
But I'll need the dark ichor to save her.
While I'm healing her, you'll have to die.
I don't care.
I'm a hero.
It's my duty to sacrifice
my life for the hopes
and futures of the people
I'm supposed to protect.
That's what my father said.
Besides, I've already died once.
Very well.
Huh?
Why am I still alive?
I I?
You're awake.
Y-You're
I had to get a little rough
when I fixed you,
but it seems to have worked.
Y-You saved me?
Thank that hero over there, not me.
She was the one who decided to save you.
It will take time, since she'd
almost rotted, but she'll wake soon.
She's tough, for a humanoid.
Hero
Hero?
The sword! The sword!
My sword
I'm so glad
Now, get to it, Nelluru.
Nelluru?
You've been reborn,
so your name is now Nelluru.
You're coming with us, yes?
Yes, if you'll have me
