Currently checking on the situation.
All units presently standing by.
Tell them to stay clear of the Japanese government.
They'll be able to read our movements.
What is the target's location?
Since investigator Hinomiya's last transmission,
we haven't been able to confirm it.
Ihachigo...
It's that device's doing.
Why are you so surprised?
You may be able to nullify powers,
but you can't nullify kinetic motion.
In other words, this is
the surefire way to win against you.
Catastrophe
What's wrong? You aren't going to shoot?
My mission is to secure Ihachigo, and ensure its recovery.
That's all.
Mission?
I thought you were like a dog,
but to think you're someone's lapdog at heart.
Say what you like!
What did you do?
We have a response from the Catastrophe.
Begin the operation.
All units have deployed.
All right, then continue your report.
It's begun. Let the rest go according to plan.
Understood.
I nullified a portion of the device's functions.
The USEI will be here soon.
To all passengers of the Catastrophe,
surrender now, and turn over the device.
You have no other options.
Allowing you to act as you pleased up until now was a mistake.
You must be supervised.
We cannot allow monsters that threaten humanity to run free.
Hyobu...
It's clear that we are unable to receive your cooperation.
Very well.
Then we will respond accordingly.
A direct attack? But they said...
Hyobu...
Unmanned machines...
Repulsive!
This reminds me of the first time I fought.
Who is it?
Who is controlling you?
According to plan, the unmanned crafts have drawn his attention.
Groups 1 and 2, descend!
I won't allow that.
Run.
Wait at the place where we always play.
The room where you can draw everywhere.
I won't let you touch those children.
That won't stop me!
ECMs?
Crap...
What should we do, Magi-chan?
If we just stay and hide, they'll corner us!
So annoying!
Crash and burn, damn helis!
Yoh, what are you doing?
Muscle!
Now.
Here they come!
You've really underestimated us.
B.A.B.E.L. fools!
Disperse!
Listen to me!
This isn't the time for us to fight!
First Lieutenant Minamoto...
Magi-san?
But that's...
Headquarters just contacted me.
The Catastrophe is under attack by the US.
What? What do you mean?
B.A.B.E.L. predicted this.
We were trying to apprehend you before it could happen...
Kashiragi-san, we're returning, as well.
We must help them as B.A.B.E.L. immediately.
No, we cannot get involved in this situation.
We received official notice from the government to just keep
the situation under careful supervision.
No way... Was it the US?
It's safe to say they've applied some sort of pressure.
Hey!
I'm returning to the ship.
We'll settle this next time.
Let's go.
Wait!
First Lieutenant Minamoto?
I'll take responsibility.
Please...
Protect Hyobu.
Wait.
Where's Hinomiya?
What are you doing? Let's go!
What is the meaning of this, Director?
I wasn't informed about an attack from the outside...
Director...
Operation complete. Beginning transport.
Damn, it's empty. Nobody's here.
Okay, next.
Why is it so dark?
S-Stop!
They've already boarded.
Are the kids all right?
Let's hurry.
Major? Where are you?
Wait here... I'll go have a look.
I'll bring them right away.
I've discovered one I believe to be the safeguarded individual.
I will begin confirmation.
Understood.
Patty-neechan, your leg...
It's fine.
They've all gathered here.
We were right to do evacuation training.
Momiji-neechan!
Yoh-nii!
Are you all right?
The enemy is equipped with small, personal ECMs.
They've been trained well.
What happened to the old man?
Didn't he come back first?
First, we move the children outside the ship.
Patty and Momiji, you guide these children.
Yoh and I will go find anyone left behind.
Okay.
Let's go, Yoh.
I know...
See you later.
Take her.
You!
Stay away! Stay away!
It's an illusion created by hypnosis.
Restrain him.
Increase the number of ECMs.
Let me go!
Raise the output.
Higher.
Major...
Monster...
Why you, Hinomiya!
Rodent?
What's the meaning of this?
You betrayed us!
Good work,
undercover investigator Hinomiya.
Director?
Yugiri!
What's the meaning of this, Director?
You said you'd leave the children alone!
I am respecting her human rights.
To the best of our ability.
But this treatment...
Unsupervised espers eventually lose control,
and they will destroy the world.
This is a necessary measure
if humanity is to be at peace.
Humanity...
What's wrong? Just pack her up.
If that monster wakes up, it'll be a hassle.
What are you thinking?
Release Yugiri... That kid isn't a monster.
That isn't for you to decide.
I've been watching her this whole time!
Espers are human, too!
You've been infected, as well.
By that monster, Hyobu.
Andy Hinomiya,
I shall erase all record of you as an investigator.
You will share the same fate as this boat.
Let's go.
Load the cargo.
Is it you?
You again?
At a time like this...
Old man...
Magi-san!
It's just a scratch.
Magi-san!
Don't die...
Don't worry, it's all right.
Major?
Major...
Major!
Pull it together!
We believe in you!
Magi...
If you don't protect this boat, who will?!
Who do you think you're talking to?
Major...
Magi-san!
I'll leave everyone to you.
Old man!
Release...
Unlimited.
Hurry! Quickly!
I won't let you kill anyone else!
Watch carefully...
Normals.
This is
our power!
Sorry I'm late.
Momotaro!
Is that everyone?
Where's Yugiri?
Old man...
We're going back.
No!
I survived?
Hyobu...
We are
going to a higher...
A higher,
higher...
A higher place.
Hyobu!
Akashi Kaoru,
the future queen who earnestly believes
in a new day alongside normals.
Will her prayers reach Hyobu, who is trapped in a past of hatred?
The Distant Paradise
Unlimited.
There are crimes that can only be tried in the darkness...
