Hirokin Page #4

If you can win.

But you can't.

So why not live

with the way things are

instead of resisting

and killing us off one by one?

You see the world

through the eyes of fear.

And you see nothing at all!

We are not afraid

of the path that lies ahead.

Gig whores...

pay a little extra

get them a wee bit fresher.

- What your pleasure, yeah?

- That one.

Mercy, brother, mercy.

I am not afraid

of the path I have chosen.

We are not afraid.

Enough!

Deacons!

Oh! Whoa! He's a bit

dramatic, isn't he?

Quite fancy and he's talented.

No no!

Stop the gig whore!

She's getting away!

And so it begins.

Subtle.

- Excellent form.

- I like him.

I think that's

a bit provocative.

Now what?

- Run.

- Good plan.

- Oh, see?

- Coming this way?

Oh, trouble.

Oh, somebody's in trouble?

Gentlemen, we need an escape.

- Arid liquor.

- And blue tea.

- Right this way.

- It's our smuggler's exit.

Whatever works.

Have you seen three rebels?

Uh, yeah,

they went that way.

Do you know the rebel?

No.

Are you in the habit of

calling out to strangers?

He's the father.

He survived.

You're starting

to sound scared, viceroy.

You're beginning

to disappoint me, terra.

- Let my son go!

- Where?

The desert to perish?

To join the rebels

and be slaughtered?

Nuran needs protecting!

I keep him safe!

I keep you safe.

No! No!

Stop.

Release my son

and I'll submit.

Oh, I require much more

than submission.

- Rebellion!

- Rebellion!

The chosen one has come

to overthrow the horde.

The tribes are uniting

at pilot rock!

All the tribes are united!

The chosen one has come

to defeat the horde!

Everyone moves to pilot rock!

- Where's moss?

- No one knows.

They say one man killed 20

deacons with a single blade!

From face to foot,

he was awashed with blood.

His every movement

timed to perfection.

He came to confront a man,

but he painted the destiny.

Yes!

Well, this is subtle.

Yeah, I have a talent

for subtlety.

Indeed you do.

Commander, we have

received word

that a human rebel

has attacked the horde,

and that arids are

gathering around the rebel.

It matters not.

The resistance is the threat.

Without moss, they are divided.

He remains our target.

Moss is the key

to this rebellion.

Cain, is that you?

We all have to choose at

some point, don't we?

Spare my people.

The viceroy wants you alive.

- Just you.

- That wasn't part of the deal.

You said you wouldn't

hurt anyone else.

Moss is the one you want.

He's the threat. Take him.

You're lucky to be alive.

Cain.

On your knees, rebel.

We became a people today,

because of you.

This world belongs

to all of us now.

No more hiding.

Father was right. Our vision

will become our reality.

I'm sorry.

They're alive.

That's what matters.

Time to let go.

Time to plan.

I don't want to see

another child

brought down

to their knees again.

Why me?

I'm here because of you

and you because of me.

I don't understand

and I don't try to.

That is the wei.

We just accept what is.

Maren.

I...

Do you not favor me?

Yes.

Yes, I do.

You are beautiful.

But...

I can't.

Why?

Because I'm arid?

No.

Because I'm bound.

I will be for a long time.

Then I'll wait...

For you.

- Another group just arrived.

- And moss?

Let it be known that this man

for his defiance inside

the horde's walls

Sword for the downtrodden!

Yeah!

Hiro! Hiro! Hiro!

We're here to fight

at your side

at your command.

Stand up.

Once...

I fought because

I had nothing to live for.

Now I fight

because I have seen

everything worth dying for.

We have a chance

to do what moss

said we would do,

to take form as a people.

Yeah!

We fight for moss' vision

of a world united!

- For moss!

- For moss!

Yes!

So when does this grand

battle of yours begin?

We attack at first light.

Your rebel is

beginning to annoy me.

I have his people,

I have his son,

I have his wife

and yet he still

hasn't attacked.

You don't have me.

No!

No!

Viceroy?

Not now!

A matter of great importance.

Hold that thought.

Do you want to see

what defying

the viceroy gets you?

It is better to rule in war

than serve in peace.

Well done, kore.

So...

The mighty moss,

leader of the gig

rebellion... broken.

You will never

break our spirit!

Defiant to the last breath.

It's our wei.

You still have the power to save

the pathetic lives of your people.

Only in death

does freedom begin.

Oh, he will come.

And he...

Will unfold time.

And you will blow away

like breath, Griffin.

You fool.

And now the deaths of your

people are your own doing.

Keep him alive, kore.

Let him be a witness

to his glorious life's

final achievement.

What is the key

to our success, kore?

Timing, my lord.

Timing. You didn't think

we wouldn't be ready for you?

No.

What is it that you want?

You dead!

Think very carefully,

for at the end of your life

you will be remembered

for this moment, hirokin.

We choose life without fear,

without you.

But you're in no position

to make any demands.

Aren't I?

He's arrogant.

He's dead.

Great battles

define great men.

Kill them all.

What are you doing?

We're going to play war.

They're quite determined.

It's who they are.

Kore!

Ha ahhh!

Calm down.

This won't take long.

No-ooo!

No!

No!

Shut this child up!

Obedience to your word...

Is your freedom.

Now you kids

play nice-nice.

Let him be!

Your vision creates

your reality.

That is the sentient wei.

Right, moss?

Moss here dreams of peace,

but look around.

A strong will must exert

itself over the weak.

That is reality.

That is the way of my world!

Hirokin!

Nuran.

Promise me...

...you'll take care

of your mother.

I promise.

It's your family.

No! Hirokin!

No no!

Hirokin, no!

Fight for me!

No!

No!

Loss and love carve heroes.

Each ribbon, a song left behind

in the struggle for freedom.

Yesterday I had a dream.

I saw a man fight for something

greater than himself...

For freedom.

He rose against fear

and tyranny,

and thereafter

everyone was born free.

What a dream.
