Clevatess (Kurebatesu) (2025) s01e09 Episode Script

How's the evacuation going?
Eighty percent have made it
to the underground bunkers, Princess T'ala.
Episode 9:
War Zone Hiderat
Hurry and finish it up.
Did we find any survivors from the castle?
No new information.
Continue the search.
Hiden Princess
T'ala Mort Anzetta
My son Hiderias VI is alive.
I know how you must feel.
But with the king dead, you are
the only one who can rule this land.
You must get somewhere safe.
I won't run.
As his mother, how could I run
when I know my son's alive?
If I may, how are you so certain?
Because I saw, of course
What was inside the forge the king sealed
The forge was shining crimson.
When a king dies, the forge lies dormant
until the next king appears.
If it's active, that means that someone
is alive who has the right to be king.
My son, the only one remaining
with royal blood, is alive.
Our highest priority now is finding him,
the only one who can use the forge,
and protecting him.
As long as the royal house has possession
of the forge, Hiden will remain Hiden.
I will not leave until my son is found.
I wanted to leave with him
before this happened, though
What do you mean?
I had a premonition.
A premonition this would happen.
The heroes we have are not strong enough
to defeat the dark beasts.
If only I hadn't let my duties
run long on the day of naming
I've returned, Your Highness!
Favio, what news?
Hiden Aide-de-camp
Favio Fleep
Drel's army of 50,000 engaged an
Eslinn army of 6,000 along
the banks of the Marrell River.
They fought bravely, but were helpless
before Drel's powerful wizardry
So Rhode's army was defeated?
Yes. But that's not all.
Just after their battle ended,
the Lord of Dark Beasts, Clevatess,
appeared and attacked Drel's army.
He wiped out more than
half of them in an instant,
but in the next moment,
the general created a strange sphere which
swallowed him up, and he remains trapped!
He captured a Lord of Dark Beasts?!
Drel is on his way with
the 20,000 troops he still has left!
I can't believe it
No one has been able to defeat
a Lord of Dark Beasts for a millennium,
and a soldier, not even a hero,
was able to do it?
Impossible.
This cannot be allowed to happen.
It goes against all our traditions
If I may, Your Highness, Drel is
a former hero who possesses a Regalia.
He qualifies, I believe.
No, I refuse to accept it.
Someone who leads an army
to attack another nation cannot be a hero.
Favio, bring me my armor!
I shall shatter his Regalia. It is my duty
as a member of the royal family.
Shatter his Regalia?! Is that possible?
It is.
If you possess the Hammer of the Kings,
which is the only thing that can forge
and shatter a Regalia.
You mustn't, Your Highness!
That treasure can only
be held by the king
Until my son takes the throne,
I am king in his stead.
I've brought it, Your Highness!
Thank you.
With this Hammer of Kings,
which bears the royal crest
Kings of ancient past, grant me your might!
Contact all our soldiers.
We shall meet Drel's army in the city!
Capital City Hiderat, Outer Main Gate
CLEVATESS
I've brought her, Miss Hero!
Don't call me that.
I'm pretty sure I'm younger than you are.
You're really amazing!
You took out all those bugs
in a single swing,
and all your horrible injuries are gone!
I'll be your errand boy
for as long as you're around,
so tell me whatever you want me to do!
Okay, can you bring Nelluru here next?
Got it, Miss Hero!
Good for you. You have a servant now too.
Don't make fun of me.
I'm surprised at the way he's acting, too.
Anyway, you're covered
in disgusting bug juice.
Go change. I don't want it getting on me.
I want to change, too!
What's going on?
What do you want with me?
I don't want to have to sit
through a long lecture.
My knees are starting to hurt.
Can I go home?
Who is this?
Naie Chiffonlits.
One of the wizards who came after Luna.
I thought you could use magnetism.
You were captured pretty easily.
If they came after me with weapons,
I wouldn't be here tied up like this.
I'm weak.
I can't stop somebody with muscles.
My guards were easily
defeated, too. What of it?
I see.
I want to know about Drel.
Answer me honestly.
What business does he have with
a Lord of Dark Beasts who isn't Clevatess?
Huh?
Sorry, have you gone insane?
Where is this coming from--
Let me ask it a different way.
Have you ever seen his dark ichor?
Dark ichor?
Blood. His blood.
Red blood which comes out of his body,
and moves around on its own.
Blood that moves on its own is disgusting.
I've never heard of anything like that.
You heard her.
What's this about?
But he used it.
And only a Lord of Dark Beasts
can create dark ichor.
That's why I returned.
Drel himself is no threat,
but if another Lord of Dark Beasts
is behind him, that changes things.
Is this some kind of test?
We need to find out what's going on here.
If it's not you,
that leaves Zavthier of the West,
Rathwell of the East, and Vordin of the North.
Hey.
Hello?
One of them, yes.
If they've decided
to bare their fangs at me,
they're going to have to pay a price.
But is there a point in leaving your body
behind and returning in that small form?
Hello? Ahem!
I didn't leave my body behind.
Just what was hidden in my shadow.
Hello?
If I let them think they've beaten me,
I don't have to worry
that they know where I am.
Excuse me!
I can go anywhere I want.
It will make it much easier
to corner my foe.
Excuse me?
Just taking Drel down wouldn't be enough
to make my real foe reveal themselves.
I said, excuse me!
I don't know what you're
talking about at all.
We just came to get the Hiden royal forge.
And to use it we need the prince,
which is the only reason I'm here.
I can go now, right?
Actually, my arms are extremely thin.
And this gauntlet is, of course, iron!
My power doesn't work if I'm touching them,
so I do need to take them off,
but this is my secret technique!
I can flee quickly!
Thanks for the ride!
My brother just wants a girl to like him.
Shut up!
That's the prince
and the really strong girl.
And luckily, they're in a cart
with iron wheels.
Excuse me!
Hey, you!
You're in the way!
Pete! Phil!
I'll be scolded if I return empty-handed,
so I'm taking you two to Hiderat.
Mind the cart's shaking.
If you fall off, you might die.
Hey!
W-Wait!
I'm neither stupid nor kind enough
to wait just because you told me to.
I'm going as fast as I can to--
Yeah, get moving!
Aren't we there yet?
What? When did he
We prepared this cart so that
you could get us there quickly.
Now we don't have to make you do it.
I'm sure you're aware,
but this sword isn't made of iron.
You guys win.
Looks like they made it on.
Whew. Good!
Hey, be careful out there!
Come back some day, miss!
You'll always be welcome!
Hero!
Thank you, Hero!
Please save our land! Save Hiden!
I don't know what's going on,
but take care of that kid!
Don't let him die!
Are you satisfied that you got
to do something heroic again, Servant?
Quiet! I actually did save
the town, you know.
That's pretty heroic, right?
And I am a hero!
Only with my help.
I was so impressed, too!
You were like one
of the heroes in the legends!
And I was so surprised
to find out he's a prince!
Is it okay for somebody like me
to be touching him?
Why wouldn't it be?
I'm filthy, and I'm one
of the lowest of the low
What should I do
if I meet his mother someday?
It makes no sense.
Is your social position not decided
by how strong you are?
You're several times stronger
than an ordinary humanoid.
Several times?
If she looks down on you,
crush her with your might.
You can't crush a princess!
Listen, you said you wanted to make
Luna king and become his advisor,
but do you really think that you can do
that if you act like this?
Yes.
No, no, no way!
There's absolutely no way!
The hero, I get, but what's with you two?
Why is the group protecting
the prince so messed up?
It's not messed up. It was inevitable
that it would turn out this way, fool.
Everything is here because it must be.
In other words
Never mind.
Really, what the hell?
There! That mountain!
Hiderat is on the other side!
Fine, whatever!
I'm climbing!
I hope all of you except
the prince fall off!
Servant, are you ready?
I've been ready for a long time.
Drel killed my father.
I need to hide who I really am.
And I can't let them find out
about your dark ichor.
I won't be helping.
I know. I'll reveal who he really is.
Here we go!
Look! The fight's already begun!
Where's Drel?
There. Over there!
Drel the Dragonslayer
is atop the castle walls!
Turn right, Iron-wielder!
I really don't want to!
Do it!
Hey!
My soldiers of the magical swords!
Your weapons are nearly
as powerful as a Regalia!
The only one you must defeat
is General Drel!
Squad one, prepare to charge!
Prepare to charge!
Charge!
Stand fast! Attack from both sides!
How irritating.
Wait for the opening after he swings!
Fire!
Magic!
Shield-bearers, forward!
Drel!
Your Highness!
How brave of you, Crown Princess T'ala Mort.
But you will never become ruler.
I know that.
I don't have royal blood.
That's right.
Only the one with the strongest
royal blood can become king.
If the king's direct heirs die,
the title passes to the relative
with the strongest blood.
That is an absolute rule.
A law of this world.
I've come to destroy that--
to strip the world of its false fate!
Who are you?
You're not the king,
so there's no need for you to know.
A strike from the Hammer of Kings should
damage even his Dark Dragon Regalia.
If I hold it in my left hand,
it should barely reach.
Fortunately, he doesn't seem
worried about the hammer.
Without his Regalia,
we have a chance to win!
We only need a single moment.
If I can just create
a single moment's opening
Please stop!
I came to say hello, Drel!
It's not my fault! It's not my fault!
It's not my fault!
That can't be
The daughter of the sword master?
That's right!
I'm here to avenge my father, Margo!
His sword's on the right
I'm close enough!
What are you doing here,
daughter of the sword master?
This is a battlefield!
There's no room for weak,
cowardly heroes.
A hero's job is to appear
when the world is in danger!
Hero Alicia
She went to defeat Clevatess.
Why is she here?
No, more importantly,
did the Hammer of Kings hit, or did it miss?
Will Miss Alicia be okay by herself?
It doesn't matter whether she is or not.
While she's delaying him,
we'll head deep into Hiden Castle
to find the forge.
That's what Drel, and whoever is
behind him, is after.
I'll find out who they are first.
That's why I've brought you, Luna.
It seems that only a royal can open
the door to the forge.
Let's go.
I already know where it is.
Keep an eye on your flanks!
We don't know where
the enemy will come from!
Defend the area! Stay on high alert!
Stay on high alert!
As long as the forge stands,
Hiden is invincible!
Use all the soldiers we have
in this area to defend it!
But then we won't be able
to defend the crypt!
I don't care.
The fallen king and his
predecessors will understand.
The crypt was originally where the naming
ritual of the prince was to be performed.
The princess seemed afraid
of it happening at all, but
We have to defend the forge
at all costs! Hurry!
Yes, sir!
It's beyond this wall, I'm sure.
I don't want to waste time going around.
Nelluru.
Y-Yes, Master?
Put down your things.
Topple this wall.
T-Topple this wall?
It's a good chance
for you to test your might.
When I healed you, I gave you
the power to protect Luna.
I've concentrated a troll's strength
into your tiny arms.
Your explosive strength
is even greater than a troll's.
Don't think about anything.
Just push it as hard as you can.
All right.
I'll believe in you, Master, and try it.
Don't think about anything
Okay, this is everyone, right?
Sir Favio! Watch out!
Catapult attack!
What?
Retreat! Retreat!
I think I just heard a scream
You're imagining it.
We needed to get rid of
those tiny pebbles anyway.
Are you okay, Sir Favio?
Yes
Has Boelate come this far already?
What?
I'm sinking
Sir Favio!
No! No! Help!
No! No!
I don't see anyone.
I'm certain it's been abandoned.
That's the entrance to the King's Forge.
Thinking back, I first found Luna nearby.
A half-dead child deceived me
It's true that a child cannot choose
where and when it's born.
That goes for all things,
human and otherwise.
Most of its fate is decided
by what's around it when it is born.
One's beginning cannot be chosen.
But what about what comes after?
Can what comes after
really be chosen at all?
Help me, Luna.
Let's take a look into your future.
