"Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far?
Meow, meow."
Hmm, maybe me-meow would be better.
Oh no!
You gotta be kidding!
Come back!
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Oh, you're the Student Body President,
Jin Kisaragi...
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Would this happen to be yours?
Y-Yes. Th-Thank you.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
I'm a freshman here. The name's Noel Vermillion.
Noel?
So you're the one who blew away the previous record on the Ars Magus aptitude test.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
Thank you very much.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
S-Sure.
Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far? Meow, meow.
"Little kitty, little kitty, why do your whiskers extend so far?
Meow, meow."
He saw it, didn't he?
He read it for sure...
No!
Why can't you hear
the heartbeat of this world?
Can, and audible...
Can it believe the future
We nurture an inexperienced smile
as we are thrown around
Does not give up
I'd like to know the truth
The night god toys with our suffering
like a branding iron
I won't hold back, won't doubt
If you are innocent after purification,
then let your soul strike out at the demons
Salvation won't lie in fighting
What power is this
You can see it
With eyes of steel we keep our emotions in check
Until our life ends,
commence your awakening
Your hands so clean, your blue shiny lights
May they reach the sky
Rebel 4: Probabilistic Events
You just had to be a pain in my ass, didn't you, Hakumen?
I believe I told you not to get in my way.
Well, I hope you're comfy because you're gonna be stuck here for a while.
And I believe I told you
that I don't take orders from anyone.
Oh? You're still able to move?
Guess the credit goes to your Power of Order.
But that don't mean shit.
This barrier is self-repairing.
A grandiose device used to just hold me, Grimalkin.
I'd send your ass flying back to the Boundary pronto if I could,
but I need that body of yours first: the Susano'o Unit.
Your manner speech is reminiscent of your mother.
Blood always tells.
Shut up.
You've done well to come.
It has been a long time. Or has it?
Affirmative. Based on your perception of time,
it has been 19,792 hours, 41 minutes, and 52 seconds since we last met.
For us, it has been 283,875 hours, 18 minutes, and 24 seconds.
Why did you unleash the Tsukuyomi Unit?
If you hadn't stopped it, all would've been reduced to ashes
and the irregularity would've been dealt with at the same time.
We request your reason for unleashing it.
I am not obligated to answer you.
Your events are your own.
We acknowledge your refusal to answer.
You're the ones who've released Yuuki Terumi from his cage in the Boundary, aren't you?
Affirmative.
The process leading to the Day of Ruin has already been set in motion.
Don't tell me you all intend to make naught of the world?
Negative.
We, the Takamagahara, only care that the world be correct.
With the appearance of the Azure Successor,
the world has gone down the path of the probabilistic Continuum Shift.
We will control the event distortions that are likely to occur in the future
as well as target irregularities for elimination.
Do you suddenly fancy yourselves gods?
Negative.
The Takamagahara is a man-made construct.
Nothing created by men can equal the gods.
The Master Unit is no exception.
With the way the Master Unit introduces distortions to the world, its existence is unnecessary.
You plan to use Terumi to that end?
Is he someone you are capable of handling, I wonder.
He is under our control.
He does not pose any measurable risk.
Should the occasion call for it, we will merely reinitialize him.
Rachel Alucard, you are close to our side.
Do you have any interest in coming back?
Your offer insults me.
Observed.
We determine that answer to mean that you have no intention of returning to us.
That choice is illogical.
Those who see everything are the ones who are the most blind.
Sh-Shit!
I wanna play.
But we'll get told off again.
It's chow time, Good Guy!
H-Hey, are you sure this is okay to eat?
Kaka cuisine is both meowthwatering and mewtritious!
Eat lots so you get all better quick!
It's hot!
Hey, this ain't half bad.
Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion.
Y-Yes, ma'am!
My apologies, ma'am!
I've had a lot on my mind, lately.
Please forgive me.
Never change, Noel.
Did you seriously not know how it was?
Noel, it's me!
M-Makoto?!
Makoto! Makoto!
This fluffy tail! No doubt about it. It's you, Makoto!
You need the tail to tell?!
Sounds like you've had it rough.
Yeah.
I don't know what to do on my own...
I'm so glad to see you here!
By the way, Noel, were you okay when that thing happened?
What thing?
You know, when the sky turned all bright and everything shook a lot.
I-It did? And the sky turned bright?
You didn't see it?
Oh, no. I was on a lower level at the time.
All of Kagutsuchi was in an uproar.
It's still pretty chaotic up at the top and there's no reliable info whatsoever,
but word on the street has it that it might've been the Takemikazuchi.
The Takemikazuchi?
A Nox Nyctores that played a part in the Dark War.
It's said that it was so powerful that they sealed it away afterwards—
Wait, wasn't it you who told me that?
That must've been Tsubaki.
I think it was when we were studying for our first test ever.
Let's see...
In order for mankind to be able to fight the Black Beast,
they fused magic with science to create "ars magus".
Ugh, I don't know any of this...
Was your paper on ars magus, Tsubaki?
Yes. I wrote it in my spare time.
Hey, Noel, what's this Takemikazuchi thing here?
Uh, um...
It's the most famous Nox Nyctores of them all.
It was put to use against the Black Beast during the Dark War.
But it was deemed too powerful and it's said it was sealed away.
Those Nox Nyctores thingamajigs were made for fighting the Black Beast, right?
Yes, they were created by the great mage Nine, of the Six Heroes.
Powerful Causality Weapons.
The Six Heroes used them to defeat the Black Beast.
You learn that in elementary school, you know.
Maybe where you went.
I only got in because of my physical abilities.
That's why I'm here giving you tips.
Yes, ma'am.
We always used to hang out at the Military Academy library.
Sure did.
Oh, that's right!
That one time, the Major—Jin Kisaragi came by!
Spill the beans, Noel! Did you really choose secretary as your preferred post?
Did you?
Y-Yeah.
You're so talented for ars magus, though.
Yeah, but...
S-Student Body President!
Jin!
Hey, Tsubaki. Studying hard?
Y-Yes!
With my roommates.
Jin? What's wrong?
O-Oh, sorry.
Is something the matter?
Not at all.
I'll be excusing myself now.
Okay.
I wonder what's bothering him.
Still got the hots for him, I take it.
Wha—
You can't fool us. Right, Noel?
Really?! She does?!
I-I keep telling you it's not true!
That sure brings back memories.
I wonder how Tsubaki's doing these days.
Makoto?
She's on her way to Kagutsuchi.
Really?!
Yeah...
But don't get too excited.
This is top secret, even within the Intelligence Department,
but I feel you should know about this, Noel.
Jin Kisaragi...
The Major snuck out of the hospital and is on the run.
B-But why?
Besides, he's gravely wounded.
No one knows.
The brass thinks he defected.
No way!
Because of him...
That's not even the worst of it.
Hey, Noel, do you know what unit Tsubaki's attached to now?
It's the Zeroth Squadron.
The Wings of Justice.
The enforcement unit?!
Tsubaki has been given orders to find Major Kisaragi and you, Noel,
and terminate them.
...you are tasked to seek out Major Jin Kisaragi and Second Lieutenant Noel Vermillion...
...and eliminate them.
Our information says they are both currently on the run in Kagutsuchi.
Uh, um...
What have they done to deserve this?
This is an Imperial Command.
You aren't doubting the will of the Imperator, are you?
N-No, sir.
However, it would not seem wise to allow your doubts to manifest in your sword,
so in brief...
The rebel, Ragna the Bloodedge.
The Grim Reaper?
It appears that Major Kisaragi and Second Lieutenant Vermillion
both had contact with that man and subsequently defected.
The branch office has suffered catastrophic losses.
It seems the two of them share some kind of special relationship with that man.
That can't be...
That is all.
You are free to go, First Lieutenant Tsubaki Yayoi.
The sealed Armagus Izayoi.
I never thought I'd use this against those two...
Jin...
Wait for me, Brother. I'm...
It's just a flesh wound...
Oh, dear, he's a ragged mess.
Perhaps too great a handicap, even for the great Hero?
You gonna help him?
It appears that this is not meant to be my scene.
Long time no see, Jin.
Do not address me so familiarly, damn cat. I do not know you.
Well, that's fine. The name's Jubei.
Jubei?
Play games with me, will you? Claiming to be one of the Six Heroes.
Well yer free to call me whatever ye like.
I got a message fer ye from a certain someone.
The world is constantly striving fer parity.
If things start tiltin' one way, a power to correct that tilt will also appear.
And that's the Power of Order.
What are you saying?
The farther things tilt, the greater that power.
Enough to put the world itself in jeopardy.
The Power of Order itself is neither good nor evil.
It depends entirely on the one who wields it.
This is foolishness.
Well, right now, I'm sure it is.
Jin, if at some point in the future,
ye find the resolve to fight against what's within you, come see me!
How you've grown...
I'm going to look for Major Kisaragi.
Do you have some idea where he might be?
Ragna the Bloodedge...
What?! The SS-class wanted criminal?
Yeah.
Thinking back now, that was when he started acting like he is now...
Man, so that really was him...
Oh, I'm such an idiot! Why did I leave him?!
If I'd waited, Major Kisaragi might have...
Give the Kaka Clan village on the lowest level a look.
You just might be able to find the person you're looking for.
The Kaka Clan?
Listen to me, Noel.
If you run into Tsubaki, call me.
Whatever you do, don't do anything rash.
Makoto?
I'm sure if we sit down and talk it through, the three of us can go make it work out.
Okay.
That uniform...
Which way?
Ars magus!
It's this way.
Hold it right there.
What? Wh-Who are you?
I am Litchi Faye-Ling. I practice medicine in this town.
Wh-What's a doctor doing with a weapon?
What business does a member of the NOL's Praetorian Guard have beyond this point?
Uh, um, I'm looking for someone.
He has white hair and wears red.
I see. I thought as much.
You know him?
Yes. As well as the reason why the NOL wants to take his life.
No matter who they may be, it's a doctor's duty to protect their patients!
P-Please wait a minute.
I-It's true that I'm a member of the Praetorian Guard,
but the reason I'm looking for him has nothing to do with my duties!
Then, what is your reason?
He saved me and I owe him my life, but we parted ways earlier.
You two are enemies, aren't you?
No! Well, we're sort of on opposite sides, but he...
Um, he feels familiar somehow...
I have to see him!
Or else, bad things will happen to the people I care about!
Please believe me! I'm begging you!
Oh hell no!
You have to eat lots or you won't get better!
I ate! I ate plenty!
There are limits to these things!
What's the commotion for? You sure seem lively.
Oh? Didn't Boobie Lady go home already?
That was my intention, yes.
It's you...
Uh, um...
Something came up, and I absolutely had to see you.
Something came up, huh?
Hey! Your bandages have been undone!
Oh...
Tao, I told you to make sure to watch after him, didn't I?!
I was watching him!
I told him, but Good Guy took them off himself!
It's going to take a while for these wounds to completely—
You're kidding.
What was that about my wounds?
What the hell? Quit ogling me.
I-I wasn't looking!
Yeah, sure you weren't!
Oh?
I had thought to come save you,
but perhaps there was no need.
Wh-Who are you?
You smell good!
You damn Rabbit!
You're... Miss Rachel?
Sustaining injuries upon injuries...
It's pathetic.
Whose fault do you think that is?!
You're the one who left me rotting there!
My house has become so animeowted!
No fair, Tao!
We wanna play, too!
Wanna play!
Wanna!
What?
O-Ow! Ow! Owowow!
It still hurts!
I wants to play! I wants to play!
You seem to know a lot about him, little miss.
You will refer to her as "lady"!
You're being way too familiar!
The object of your long search is finally right before your eyes.
How does it feel?
Litchi Faye-Ling.
H-How did you know that?
Who in the world are you?
Well, I am an old acquaintance of Kokonoe's.
Perhaps I will just leave it at that.
Of the Profesor's?
I swear! They all just had to come barging in here!
Hey, I'm not a frickin' zoo animal!
I...
I can't apply the bandages if I don't look!
Oh wow, terrific excuse!
Ow!
So, why did you have to see me again?
What is your relationship with Major Jin Kisaragi?
You're asking about Jin?
He's my enemy. Isn't it obvious?
I know that!
But that's not all. There's something else...
What do you think it is?
I-I don't know. That's why I'm here asking you.
Jeez, you're weird.
I'm an enemy to you, too.
I-I...
You saw it, too, didn't you?
The Cauldron.
I'm going to smash that Cauldron, the NOL that's trying to stop me...
...and above all, that bastard Terumi.
Um, by Terumi, you mean Mr. Hazama, right?
But why?
"Why"? "Why", you ask?
None of your frickin' business, that's why!
What's this? You're not gonna run away crying this time?
N-No, I'm not leaving.
Because there's the matter concerning Major Kisaragi, too.
If I don't ask you now, I think I'll regret it later for sure.
You must be tired from your long trip, Cap—
Special Advisor Hazama. Engineer Relius.
Why, thank you.
The 13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi.
That is right.
All the players are in the process of gathering here.
Hey, that part doesn't need any bandages!
Wait for me, Brother.
I'll be there soon to kill you.
Despair, disappointment, hatred, sorrow, heartbreak...
I'll get to see the faces of all kinds of people writhing in the depths of their suffering.
Just show me blaze your mind
Only you destroy our world
Just show me blaze your brave
Make alter our memories
Go for it!
I believed
that even if the world were an empty illusion
I would look for a faint warmth
waiting for me somewhere
Don't look away now
It's time to come now
Look hard at me
I will free you from your grief
Don't be afraid of sorrow
I'll promise you
Endless reincarnation
I'm powerless
My memories course through my head like fog
Why do I fight?
I fight to protect you until the very end
You must obey the destiny
We're fated to be
We resign the destiny
