JP's-use Secret Underground Train
Both of you, thank you for coming with me.
But... you would've been better off staying in Tokyo.
Idiot!
We couldn't let you go alone, could we?
Sitting around...
won't accomplish anything, will it?
Y-Yeah, that's right.
I knew it during the second battle:
Byakko's a lot stronger than the other demons.
M-My Poltergeist is--
It's not like this is a contest.
Yeah, but still...
Oh, look!
I bought something at the Demon Auction!
Huh? Bought with money?
You've successfully bid on Obariyon. Remaining Points: 264
I don't really know.
But these numbers have gone down.
It scared me at first, and I didn't like it,
but this power lets me protect people and fight our enemies.
No matter what happens...
I'll protect you both.
Huh?

Osaka JP's Main Bureau Underground Train Platform
The bureau chief told us about you.
Thank you for coming.
Welcome to Osaka!
You all are the Summoners assigned to Tokyo, huh?
We've been waitin'.
Who are you?
I'm Hinako Kujo. And...
Over there's Keita Wakui.
Like you all, they're Summoners assigned just yesterday.
The same, huh?
N-Nice to meet you.
If you all are lookin' for someone, do it on yer own!
Hey, Keita!
My job is...
Demon hunting.
What's with him?
Well, that kid ain't too scared of our situation, huh?
He's a dangerous one.
Osaka Abeno Ward
Search teams have gone out lookin' several times already...
Anyway, I'll show ya. Prof. Kanno's lab.
The room's stayed as-is since the professor disappeared.
So, this desk was the last one to have seen the professor.
Have you been able to find any clues?
Not at all.
Not even any signs of a struggle.
Hell, there's not even a trace of her leavin' the building.
Jeez. Lookin' for people without any clues?
What a waste. I mean, the enemy's out there.
We oughta just...
kill 'em all.
A demon!
We're Summoners now, huh?
Aren't there more Summoner-like jobs for us?
Daichi's right.
Maybe there's another reason we've been sent here.
JP's Tokyo Bureau Command Room
That man.
For him to come right to us...
How interesting.
It's not like I'm taking your side.
I just wish to further test the humans...
Unauthorized Access Detected
JP's Osaka Main Bureau Command Room
What's going on?
The barrier system is being attacked from the outside!
What did you say?
This is JP's main bureau!
There's no way they could do that!
Still, we're clearly...!
JP's Osaka Main Bureau Operational Commander (Deputy Director)
JP's lines have every form of protection,
and are infused with magical defenses!
It's impossible!
What's going on?!
Try using another line.
It's no good!
At this rate, the system will be overridden!
Initiate defense programs!
Don't let some cracker get in here!
Sir!
Find out where that cracker's located!
Beginning a traceback of the network intrusion path.
Traceback
What gives? What's all the ruckus?
Layer 1 Lloigor is down!
The password was cracked magically!
So this is, what? A hacker attack, right?
This feels kinda dangerous.
Layer 2 is down!
Are the Septentrion behind this, too?
Who are you?
Hibiki Kuze, a Summoner.
The one from Tokyo.
They had this kid join JP's?
What is the bureau chief thinking?
This doesn't concern you all. Fall back.
It DOES concern us!
"Fall back"?
There's nowhere to run, is there?
The third layer is down!
So, wouldn't it be better to disconnect the network?
Just cuttin' the... Oh, thanks.
Just cuttin' the power would do it, right?
We can't do something that foolish!
If the main system were suspended
If we cut this system, Osaka would instantly lose all magical protection.
If the main system were suspended All magical protection functions lost
We'd be defenseless against the intruders!
Maybe someone... is helping the Septentrion.
It could be.
Someone else is targeting us, huh?
This is no accident.
Yamato Hotsuin knew that this would happen, didn't he?
The fourth layer is down!
Finished tracing the cracker's location!
So, it's somewhere close by?
What is this?
The attacks are from all over Japan!
What? Most of our networks are dead.
This can't be!
This is a diversion. Get me specifics, stat!
Now what, at a time like this?
A new "dead face" clip has arrived.
Keita!
Huh?
Keita! It's Keita!
Kujo, do you know that place?
Who cares about the place?!
Please!
That...
It's Festival Gate. It's pretty close by.
Hurry! Limit the location to someplace near here.
What do you know, boy? Keep quiet.
Hurry!
Okay.
Search complete. It's Osaka, Naniwa Ward.
The abandoned Festival Gate park.
That's where the cracker is hitting us from.
He's that close?
Awesome, Hibiki. How did you know?
I thought so...
There, eh?
Hibiki Kuze. You're there, yes?
Bureau Chief!
Head for Festival Gate and stop that cracker at once.
Other nearby Summoners should go, too.
Um...
Did you send us here knowing this could happen?
...to the abandoned Festival Gate in Naniwa Ward at once.
There's not a moment to lose. Hurry up and go.
All those able--
Excuse me.
Please order Keita Wakui to not go that location.
The "dead face" clips show the future.
If we can see it, we can avoid it.
Who's that?! Friggin' startled me.

Former Festival Gate
The four of them will shortly storm Festival Gate.
Additionally, eight Summoners in the Osaka area are on their way.
They can rendezvous with them in about three minutes.
Go, Berserk!
There's no end to them.
You weak chumps stick together.
Whoa!
Lilim!
Keita!
Hinako? What gives? Why're you here?
Idiot! If I hadn't come, you'd be dead!
Mind yer business!
I thought you guys were looking for that professor chick!
Keita, behind you!
Keita!
Mister Keita to you. Have some respect!
I'm glad we made it. You okay?
Huh?
Yeah. How long you gonna hold me?!
Anyway...
If we don't hurry and find the cell phone that's run amok,
these things won't stop poppin' up!
No. A cracker is controlling these.
Huh?
I'll look for him.
Let's go, my new demons!
Obariyon! Agathion! Go help out Byakko!
They okay?
Leave it to them.
M-My demons are weak!
You there, Hibiki?
Yes! And the other Summoners?
Huh?
Unfortunately... You're the only ones to have made it there yet.
No matter. Hurry and take the cracker into custody.
But...!
The cracker is hiding about 50 meters from your current location.

We have to catch the bad guy, right?
I'll go look!
Understood.
Hinako and I will hold back the enemies.
Okay!
I'M here, too! Don't forget 'bout me!
And me?
You protect Nitta.
Yes!
Let's go.
Yeah!
Go, Byakko!
Lilim!
Layer 6 is down!
What about our counterattack program?
It's having no effect.
It's been rendered completely useless!
Use the Almadel.
Almadel?
Almadel... you say?
Yes.
Municipal and Internal Systems Defense via Almadel Architecture: Compatibility and
The virus that Prof. Kanno developed?
That's incomplete!
Using it without her here is dangerous!
No matter. Do it.
Understood.

What the?
Their movements are sloppy.
Hibiki.
Yes?
This is about all we can do to buy you time.
The rest is up to you.
Hibiki.
I... have to protect everyone. I have to win!
Enemy intrusion has reached Layer 8!
We're fine so long as he doesn't reach the heart.
Stop him here.
Beginning Layer 8 program copy.
Disrupting the enemy!
That's the culprit, huh?
We have to hurry and get him, or everyone...!
Poltergeist
Him, huh?
My ogre can...
Ogre!
Get that person!
What the?!
Nitta!
The heck is that?
Wh-What do I do?
Nitta!
Dumbass! Standin' around slack-jawed.
Thank you.
Don't be thankin' me!
Thank goodness, Nitta.
Hinako! Huh?
That's the culprit, huh?
Fumi Kanno?!
What. What's goin' on?
So it's Prof. Kanno?!
She's brainwashed by the enemy.
For the person who built JP's systems to be the culprit...
There's no way to stop her.
Hibiki. Secure the cracker.
Sir. Byakko!
Lightning won't work on that thing?
In that case, shockwave!
Lilim!
What is that thing? It's so strong!
Keita!
Let's attack at once.
Huh? You tryin' to order me?
Your Berserk's about at its limit.
Let's finish it at once!
I got no choice, huh?
Daichi, you listening?
Yeah. Yeah...
Okay, got it.
She's reached Azathoth, the final line of defense!
Okay. Go, Byakko!
That's a decoy!
Gotcha!
Daichi!
Is it... over?
That's that. Go get her.
It seems you've rejoiced prematurely.
Berserk!
Humans are naïve about follow-through.
Oh, no. Run for it!
Fumi Kanno. Excellent work.
Now then, your final task.
Almadel has restarted!
What does this mean?
Almadel is eroding our systems!
This is system-breaking code, designed to erase any traces of the user.
The firewall is completely down.
Infiltration rate: 100%.
Tsutenkaku's defensive barrier has been eliminated.
It's terrible.
I'm... alive?
It's a sliding safe...
Keita? Keita!
Keita!
No!
It can't be!
He's dead!
We couldn't prevent that "dead face" footage.
And we knew it what would happen!
Spiritual defense capabilities for the Osaka area... are zero.
Septentrion have appeared in Osaka!
The objective is Osaka's barriers, Tsutenkaku...
The Osaka subway accident...
It's not your choice to make.
