Guardian of the World Tree Opening – Progress

The music starts as the camera image changes to show the ground level of an island, showing Alvin and Leia sitting on some rocks with their backs facing each other, the camera zooming in on them to show both staring up at the sky. On another part of the island, the camera shows Elize sitting on a boulder with Teepo on her lap while Rowen was standing several feet away, the camera once again focusing on their faces to show Elize looking towards the ground while Rowen was looking towards the sea.

With a full rotation to show the entire island, the camera moves to the end where Leia was sitting and moves passed her head, surprising the girl as she looked at the camera moves forward to show Alvin turning around to face the screen as the camera moves passed him and towards Elize, who blinks in surprise while Teepo widely opens his mouth, before moving to Rowen, who had his eyes closed as it passes him.

The camera continues its path until it shows Jude, Milla and Naruto with their backs facing each other. Rotating quickly around Jude and Milla before focusing on a head shot of a smiling Naruto, closing his eyes as a gust of wind blows against his face with the camera shot trailing up into the sky.

[Ano toki ni ano basho ni ite tatakatteita jibun ga]

With a large view of a gigantic forest surrounding the World Tree in the background, the title Guardian of the World Tree appears on the screen as the camera trails up the tree before the words disintegrate into orange particles. The screen focuses on a single large branch of the World Tree, where Naruto was standing at the base of it with a hand on the trunk as he stared out at the forest.

[Subete wa ima wo erabu tame datta to shita nara]

The scene changes to nighttime near a large waterfall where thousands of Spirites were seen floating in the air around the trees, Milla and the others were standing at the base of the waterfall. While in her wheelchair, Milla looked towards the top of the waterfall, where Naruto was hovering as he turned around to face the group. A distance shot takes over the screen with it focusing on the two staring at each other.

[Mukiaezu okizari na mama me]

Leia is seen playing with two kids, a boy and girl, while pushing around a wheelchair with the boy sitting in it. The brunette trips on a rock and causes the wheelchair to tip over, making the boy fly off and hit the ground. Realizing what happened, Leia turns her head to see a deadpanned Jude standing behind her with a hand on his hip, making her let out an awkward laugh in response.

[Wo sorashiteita kako wo]

The scene changes to Xian Du where Alvin in sitting on the windowsill of his mother's window with a smile on his face, sitting by her bedside at a breeze blows into the room. The silhouette of his mother could be seen saying something causing Alvin to turn to look at her, smiling at her before starting to say something.

[Yurushitai to omou no wa]

A screen change switch to the inside of a house where Elize could be seen sitting on her bed, staring at an unmoving Teepo in her hands. Quickly zooming in on the two, Elize lifted her hands a little bit in the air before she watched Teepo spin out of her hands into the air. A smile appearing on both of their faces as Teepo continued to spin.

[Yurusaretai kara na no ka na]

Inside of Sharil Manor, Rowen is by himself with his head low and arms behind his back, standing several feet away from one of the large windows near the front of the manor. The sunlight shining down on him from the outside before the screen moves closer to his still form in time to see him lift his head up with a serious, yet solemn, expression.

The scene immediately changes to the inside of throne room in Kanbalar Castle, where members of The Chimeriad are seen standing at various points near the throne where Gaius was sitting. Zooming in on Gaius, the King raises from his throne with his sword in hand.

[Bokura ga tada jiyuu de irareta ano koro wa tookute]

Naruto is shown riding on Aska's back while Milla and the others on their wyverns on high about the clouds as the Pterobronc tries to attack the group. Standing on the Aska's back, the camera shows Naruto narrowing his eyes as he and Shadow, who appeared near him, leap from Aska before the two started to glow and Naruto activating his Armatus, causing the Pterobronc to let out a roar as it tried to attack Naruto only to be cut in half by the large Darkness Scythe in the Naruto's hands. The screen focusing on a front view of Naruto's semi-floating form as the monster exploded behind him.

[Mujaki na egao dake ja]

Flipping onto a rocky surface with her staff ready, Leia lets out a yell as she rams the end of her weapon into a Brutaurus while other spiked boars were standing around it. The Brutaurus shaking its head violently causing Leia fly off, only for several bullets to slam into the side of its head by a running Alvin, who is seen charging up power for his next shot.

[Kono koro wa sugosenai kedo]

A large, dark channeling arte is surrounding Elize and Teepo as the young girl waved her wand in front of her, Teepo opening his mouth widely as dark tendrils started erupting out of the ground and began attacking a large worm-like monser, holding it in place despite its attempts to escape. The angle of the battlefield spun slightly to show Rowen holding his weapon across his chest with his back facing the giant monster, before swinging his sword horizontally causing his arte under the monster to explode.

[Bokura wa susundeyuku. Soredemo susumi tsuzuketeku]

On a strange battlefield that looked to be over water with several large round objects spread across the area, Gaius could be seen in his Final Form with a large, crystal-like broadsword covered in a blue aura, charging at Milla, Jude and Naruto. Quickly knocking Jude and Milla away, Gaius focused his attention on Naruto, whose appearance showed he was using the Armatus as he held a Shakujō that had four rings, each corresponding the Four Elements. Intercepting Gaius' strike, Naruto countered as he swung the staff at Gaius. The two continued their battle before creating some distance between them, but that wasn't the end as they once again charging at one another with Gaius holding his sword in a piercing position while Naruto was holding a Multi-Elemental Rasengan in his free hand.

[Nani ka wo shinjirareru kokoro ga nokotteiru kara]

Changing the scene to a rooftop in the middle of a city, Naruto is sitting on a bench with a tranquil expression on his face as he watched the snow fall, the Great Spirit of Mana turns to see Milla walking up to him from behind before she moved to sit on the bench next to him, and turned his head to continue looking at the snow.

Watching as the snow continued to fall around them, a small smile on Milla's face as she rested her head on his shoulder, slightly surprising Naruto as he turned to look at her. A second later, Naruto started to smile as well as he closed his eyes. Moving back a little bit, the camera showed the two sitting together on the bench while the Eight Great Spirits were seen all grouped together behind Milla and Naruto.

[Whoa, Whoa, Whoa~!]

The lights of the city transition to a shot of Nachtigal in his throne room, letting out a heavy breath with his powerful spear in hand and Gilandor Yul Svent standing near him. This changes to a shot of Gaius walking through a thunderstorm, the camera zooming out to reveal the Chimeriad walking with Gaius through a marsh

[Whoa, Whoa, Yeah~!]

Leia is shown standing by herself in a street with snow falling around her, spinning around with a weak smile on her face before the scene changes to Jude standing in a facility with a prototype Spyrite in his hand, tightening his grip on it. The screen changes again to show Rowen standing in the backyard of Sharil Manor with Cline and his sister, Driselle, the latter holding up a sword with a smile. The setting changes again to show Elize standing in a crowd with Verius standing next to her as the girl spin around to face the camera, before the image changes to a destroyed room where Alvin is shown spinning towards the camera as well with his gun pointing in front of him, an emotionless expression on his face.

As the music continues, a strange aircraft takes to the skies where others were located while a large ship remains in the water. The screen turns blue as Muzét appears with her eyes closed as a blue aura surrounds her, but this is quickly replaced by a starry sky with a shooting star shooting across. The camera lowers to the ground to show the battlefield where Naruto and the others were fighting Gaius, all seven of them staring up at the sky with Naruto and Milla a few feet ahead of them. The scene finishes up with a distant shot of the World Tree, a quick zoom in shows Milla's sword stabbed into one of the roots with Naruto's cloak resting on it before the screen goes black.

Guardian of the World Tree Ending – INNOSENSE

The sound of a guitar can be heard as the music starts. An image of Naruto surrounded by his Truth-Seeking Orbs, gritting his teeth as golden-colored mana was oozing off of him, before it switches to Milla in post-swinging position with a bright blue light covering her sword, followed by Jude in a battle stance with a fist pulled back and wind picking up around him.

The scene changes to a battlefield as the music continues, everyone in the group could be seen on a battlefield covered in weapons, bodies and flames as rain falls all around them. As the camera moves its focus upward, the large figures of both Gaius and Nachtigal could be seen with their backs facing the group.

[Moudou shiyou mo nai tte koto mo aru. Naru you ni shika naranakattari]

Rashugal soldiers are shown standing ready as they stood on the Fezebel Marshes, the ashes created from Artes and flaming weapons surrounding all of them and all of them preparing their weapons for battle. Changing scenery, the focus of the camera moved to the soldiers of Auj Oule charging forward with rain pouring down on them and their weapons at the ready.

[Mada oshiyosetekuru sekai]

A rear-shot of Rowen standing on a cliff while staring at the battlefield with his arms positioned behind his back. Rain was falling all around the man and Fezebel Marshas as Auj Oule and Rashugal soldiers continued to clash with each other.

[Tada dou yatte uketometara ii?]

The scene moves to shot Alvin standing near the Chimeriad with his weapons in each hand and his gun propped onto his shoulder, Presa standing the closest to Alvin as she looked over at the brunette mercenary with a hand brushing some of her hair out of her face. Jiao and Wingul standing near Gaius with the former grinning widely while holding his hammer.

[It's meant to be]

A sad Elize could be seen sitting on the ground while holding Teepo closer to her chest, both Jude and Leia standing in front of the girl with the latter kneeling to Elize's level. Zooming in closer to the three, Elize lifts her head up to look at Leia as the smiling female brunette is holding a hand out to her.

[Boku dake no monoja nakunatta yume]

Under the starry night sky, both Milla and Naruto looking at each other as they are walking down a path, one of Milla's eyebrows raised with her placing a hand on her hip as she looked over at a smirking Naruto, who had his hands raised and resting behind his head. Soon Alvin and Jude appeared behind the two with the older of the two smirking while wrapping an arm around Jude's shoulder to bring him close. A smiling Elize and Leia appear next on the right side of the screen, both girls following after Milla and Naruto while a happy Teepo was hovering over Elize's head. Rowen was the final one to appear on the left side as he walked a few steps behind the group with his eyes closed and a small smile on his face,

[Asu wo michibiite]

The image on the screen changes to show a frowning Naruto staring up at the full moon while standing on the highest branch of the World Tree, closing his eyes briefly as he raises both of his hands up. Changing angles to reveal the white sun-like marking and black crescent moon-like marking on his palms. A red and black malevolence aura started to cover his hands as they clenched into fists, both turning into large, demonic claws.

[Genjitsu to Fight unmei ni Dive!]

A change in the background around Naruto changes to a battlefield with the blonde Great Spirit looking forward with a determined look on his face as he charges forward, controlling his Truth-Seeking Spheres to move around him as a golden Mana aura surrounds him. One of the spheres turning into a Bō before Naruto swings it at his enemies.

[Hotobashiru omoi. Nando iki taesou demo tada massugu ni]

The image freezes with a golden glowing Naruto in the middle of an attack with Aska, Celsius, Shadow and Verius all in battle positions behind him. A shrieking Aska glowing brightly as his wings were stretched out as far as they could go, while ice was circling around Celsius as she curled an arm in front of her. Darkness was rising up around Shadow's hovering figure and from the bottom of her cloak as his panther head let out a roar, and Verious was glowing with a blue hue as blue flames forms on the tip of Verius' tails. The frozen image changes to a drawing version of the five, putting extra detail on all their attacks.

[Don't give up the fight! Time to win the fight!]

Milla is shown charging forward with her blue flame-like Mana covering her sword as she swings her blade vertically causing the ground under her to smash apart before she spun her body around and attacked horizontally, making the wind and dirt around her pick up.

[Kono mi wo kakete idomu sekai]

Just like with Naruto, the image of Milla freezes in mid-battle with the Great Four positioned behind her. Efreet has a large ball of flame hovering over his head as he had one arm pointed in front of him as if to point to the target of his flames, while Gnome was on his ball of earth as spike erupted from the ground. Undine had her hands held out in front of her as torrents of water shot out of her hands, while Sylph was upside-down with a mini tornado covering the Great Spirit of Wind's legs. The frozen image of all five of them also turned into a drawing version of the five, putting extra detail on their attacks.

[Isso aru ga mama ni ii]

Standing on top of a cliff, Jude is seen standing in front of Alvin, Elize & Teepo, Leia and Rowen with a portal not too far from the group. A sunset shining in the distance as the wind was blowing against them, making their hair and clothes lifting with the wind.

[Sono subete wo tsutsumikomu yo]

Following the path of their vision, the camera catches sight of the backs of Milla and Naruto standing side-by-side, who both look back at the group with smiles on their faces as the sunset's light shines behind them. Spinning themselves around, the camera does several frozen shots of the two walking into the portal with the rest of the group following them into the portal until no one was left. The screen changes to a final rear-shot of Milla and Naruto staring up at a shadowy figure sitting in a strange machine-like chair, the image freezing and turning into a drawing with extra details being put on both Milla and Naruto.
