Great job, girls!
I'm making Kaoru into the queen? What are you saying?!
Kaoru! Are you okay?
She's fine, just unconscious.
Thank goodness.
Aoi, Hyobu's still over there, right?
Yeah. He's real, not an illusion.
Shiho?
We can take our time discussing it later, Hyobu.
But for now... Once I arrest you, my duty is complete!
This is a doll.
It's made of some sort of carbon fiber, from that guy Magi.
Where?
What am I?

For crying out loud... Major!
38th sense: "The Butterfly's Dream! Dream Maker" For crying out loud... Major!
38th sense: "The Butterfly's Dream! Dream Maker" You're too nice to kids! Why'd you go that far?
You're a mess.
It's not as bad as it looks.
Good job on your end, too.
Mission complete.
The real president has been politely returned.
Hey there, Prime Minister.
W-Welcome to Japan...
Wouldn't it have been better if we'd just killed a guy like that?
I used this chance to get the president's personal data.
It might come in handy for a trade someday.
Women are scary...
Well, how about playing for the other team?
Oh, HELL No!
What's so great about real women? Right, Moga-chan?
Moga-chan never uses the toilet!
But are you sure this is okay? Didn't Kaoru cause the largest damage?
That's right.
She's reached the point where she can protect us with that great power.
Although...
In some ways, I regret it a bit.
Major?
C'mon, you know you can't resist me!
No way!
Are you all right, Kaoru?
Where are we?
The BABEL infirmary. Do you remember?
You blacked out after the booster was activated.
Oh... What happened then?!
HIGH-DENSITY COMPRESSION GAMMA TREATMENT ROOM
Minamoto, the way the booster functioned before...
HIGH-DENSITY COMPRESSION GAMMA TREATMENT ROOM Right. I'll do everything to figure that out.
That kind of power will become a threat to the guys in Black Phantom.
Next time, they may come after The Children directly.
But! It's not just that.
Anyway, I'll help, too.
No way I can let Black Phantom get away with stuff like this!
Sakaki!
Kaoru woke up!
She has? Thank goodness.
How's he doing?
Minor injuries. I'm keeping him sedated.
So, he still doesn't remember anything?
When his brainwashing was broken, he also lost his memory and ESP powers.
His code name's Barret. There were no other clues.
He doesn't know who he is now. Just a Normal with amnesia.
Because of what we... Of what I did?
No, I think he was conditioned that way from the start.
So that he wouldn't give information or aid to the enemy if his brainwashing was broken.
You did great!
Something that no one could have predicted.
He owes his life to what you all did.
Black Phantom may have stolen his past,
but he hasn't lost his future.
Thank you. You really did a great job.
You're the best espers around.
Minamoto! Gimme a reward kiss!
Hey, cut it out!
Hey, no fair! Me, too!
And me!
Oh? What's going on?
Oh, Minamoto! You're finally in the mood?
Yup!
Who is?!
He said we were the best women around!
No, I didn't!
Anyway, sorry I was late giving you backup.
I gave the rescue of the people attacked by PANDRA priority.
You were late because you stopped to put on your makeup!
Leave it on, the next time you go to sleep!
Don't be ridiculous!
What's a middle-aged man know about the importance of skin care?!
Easy! Easy!
More importantly...
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
By the way, Minamoto...
Figures. I gave you that thing for exactly this sort of circumstance.
But, Director!
You know about the prediction I was shown.
Don't you know what that thing is?!
Of course I do.
Which is all the more reason you need to carry it.
Keep it with you. At all times.
The high output blaster.
Developed to kill espers who are normally immune to guns.
Its other name: "The Esper Hunter".
Kaoru felt Barret's suffering from his brainwashing before.
I have to! Aoi, please!
Oh, well.
The way Hyobu and the others call her "queen"...
It may not simply be a nickname.
If espers really are the next step in humanity's evolution,
and if the impulse to protect them lies within Kaoru, then...
You, a Normal, are helping to give birth to the queen.
I don't want to just protect their present. I want to protect their future, as well!
Hyobu will have his way over my dead body!
You have your instructions. Use your powers as much as you like.
Roger, Boss.
Don't be so extravagant!
No way! Onions sting my eyes.
This isn't a broiler. You should use better meat.
Don't be so extravagant!
I'm home!
I bought the curry base, powdered cheese, and leeks.
I also checked the mailbox while I was downstairs.
Paycheck. Oh, is that a little raise I see? And that's a bill...
Hey! No snooping!
Mr. Minamoto, this is...
Huh? What's wrong?
Something's strange about this letter.
There's just a photo inside. And I can't see it clearly.
I can't sense anything else.
No return address, huh?
It'd be hard to scan if this was mechanically-sent direct mail, so...
But I have a bad feeling about it!
How can I not see anything? It's strange!
Best not to touch it anymore. Aoi, remove what's inside of it.
Roger!
What's with the blurry photo?
I feel like I've seen it somewhere...
Mr. Minamoto!
Minamoto!
What am I?
Minamoto!
Who are?
Why?
Sorry for the wait, Minamoto.
K-Kaoru..?
What's wrong? Don't you feel well?
You might be catching a cold.
Let's hurry home and get you warmed up.
Yeah, sure.
Mr. Minamoto! Mr. Minamoto!
He's out cold. Contact the labs at HQ, now!
Right!
M-Minamoto!
I've got you!
It's show time.
Just go "guh-guh-guh," like that.
Maybe we should use a techno cut...
I see... He suddenly passed out.
Who's doing this? Why would they do this to Minamoto?!
In any case, the enemy is using this photo for something.
That's for certain.
Any ideas?
Um... No.
You three, remain on standby.
We'll contact you as soon as we learn anything.
LOW FREQUENCY WAVE SPECIAL ALPHA EXAMINATION ROOM
Dr. Sakaki, how's Minamoto?
Mr. Minamoto...
It's almost like...
He's enjoying it.
It's always like this when he initially enters REM sleep.
The A-10 nerves get stimulated. In short, he has a pleasant dream.
But, after 10 minutes, without fail...
It turns into a nightmare. And the cycle keeps repeating.
What sort of dream is it?
I don't know.
There's a strange wall when we try to enter his mind.
Architecture. The structure of his mental world.
But there are gaps in it, here and there. You think you can break in?
I think this is memory protection that was set up by Grandpa Igo.
Using a surrounding form to close off a person's mind... It's unnatural.
No good. I think the enemy is using Mr. Minamoto's deep psyche to create this.
A telepath's behind this, huh?
But I'm not picking up any external psychic waves.
What on Earth is going on...
...in his mind?
Minamoto.
Hey! Use your hands!
No way!
My hands are full right now.
You're too spoiled, Kaoru. You aren't a little kid anymore.
That's right.
When I was little, all I wanted was to grow up.
Now I want to go back to that time.
Funny, huh?
Kaoru...
I really should be going.
Don't go! I know everything!
The battle's about to start, right? You don't have to do this!
I'm sorry, Minamoto, but!
At this range, you'll definitely kill me.
Shoot, Minamoto.
But even if I'm gone, nothing will change.
An army of other espers will...
Dammit, it's happening again!
Then stop them!
I've replayed this scene over and over.
I absolutely don't want to use this thing, but!
Did you know, Minamoto? I...
Kaoru, don't! The next thing that happens is! Did you know, Minamoto? I...
Kaoru, don't! The next thing that happens is!
Kaoru, don't!
Minamoto.
Heads up, everyone! Prepare to move out!
We have a positive ID on the enemy esper.
Their identity? Is it someone from Black Phantom?
No, it's not them.
I brought someone to help!
Hi there!
You're!
You'll get the details in the command center.
It's high time we awoke our beloved princess, isn't it?
Yes!
Releasing The Children!
If we should meet in a dream...
how wonderful it would be.
But don't you dare stay asleep when you meet us, either!
So wake up already, Minamoto!
The Absolutely Lovely Children!
That son of a!
What's he doing, walking around, totally fine?!
Oh, Minamoto... Tell me that you love me.
What? This is kind of sudden!
Go on!
Chief!
And Fujiko Tsubomi.
It's been a while, Kuromaki.
You're a cool customer, I see.
You've never seen me before, yet not even a flinch.
Good intelligence network.
So, what's the scam?
Thank goodness.
I was nervous about syncing my thought waves with you, but...
Thank you.
You really helped to expand the effective range of my Hypno power.
We knew you get your kicks out of
watching people who are under your power's influence.
There's no way out! Now come back with us and get Minamoto back to normal!
When you ask people to do stuff for you,
you kneel down and say "We beg of you!"
Brats!
Why, you... PSYCHIC...
BIG MAGNUM! Why, you... PSYCHIC...
BIG MAGNUM!
Muscle! Then PANDRA really is behind what happened to Minamoto?
Mackie! I'm your backup!
BIG MAGNUM!
Thank you, Kama!
Running away?!
Kaoru!
You get to fight us!
Who cares if you're the queen?
To follow the major's orders...
I'll split into three servants!
We are the Tsundere Queens!
The Mio-Dren!
Yeah!
Great. Because nothing ticks us off like other people mocking us.
We don't have time to play with you!
Magnum! Magnum! Magnum! Magnum!
So, you're the notorious gay guy, huh?
Your power's annoying, I'll grant you...
BIG MAGNUM!
But it's pointless if you can't hit me!
This is getting to be a running joke...
I hate guys who just worry about how big and thick they are.
Great! Why do you always, always?!
Till next time!
We have to get after her!
Right!
Hold it!
Sleepy...
Granny!
Why, you!
That car is equipped with ECM!
DARN IT!
Ms. Tokiwa, if you'd be so kind!
There! The fugitives are headed north on Ganmo Street!
Head them off, please!
Roger!
BABEL 1, pursuing target!
Capture at once!
Freeze!
We've been tricked!
Setsuko Kuromaki. Age: 19. Former special esper trainee.
A telepathy-based multi-power user.
In short, a former upperclassman of yours.
She went missing a few years ago, but...
I want to use my power to do what I like!
Working for BABEL is just a major bore.
I never thought she'd join Hyobu.
So, what's her power, then?
Her code name is Dream Maker.
As it implies, she has the power to manipulate the dreams of others.
In her case, you could say she creates a world within a mental world.
Creates a world? Then!
Hang on.
Thought so.
The human brain has a huge capacity for calculation
that's removed from its consciousness.
Kuromaki uses that to create a kind of virtual reality.
In short, she implants a repeating dream program into another person's brain.
I get it. So, this photo is...
While the actual image is unclear, Kuromaki made it using her powers!
Meaning she's transmitting the dream she made into Minamoto through the photo?
But why just Mr. Minamoto?
We all looked at the same thing.
Minamoto... What could you be dreaming about?
Kaoru!
Rise! Bow!
Goodbye!
Hey, you three! Let's stop off on the way home!
We found a really fun store!
We heard they sell super-rare Crab King cards there!
You should come with us, if it's all right.
No. Sorry, but we're...
Maybe another time. Thanks!
Oh...
Well, see you tomorrow.
Sure. See you.
Bye-bye.
They've been really down lately.
I wonder if something happened.
It's been three days now.
Granny Tsubomi hasn't woken up, either.
LOW FREQUENCY WAVE SPECIAL ALPHA EXAMINATION ROOM
No change with Mr. Minamoto.
The nightmare again. The cycle's getting shorter.
It's like Kaoru when she's watching TV
and a news bulletin breaks into a love scene, just as it's getting good.
An accurate, though roundabout example.
Why don't you try to think of something more useful?
How dare you talk that way to me!
You're not much help here, either, Miss Psychometrist!
Are you saying this is my fault?!
Stop that, you two!
We're all equally worried. No point losing your heads, right?
Everyone's doing everything they can to track down Kuromaki.
We have to wait till we find a clue.
Minamoto's trying his best, too.
I'm sorry.
Yeah. Me, too.
By the way, where's Kaoru?
Cheer up, Queen.
When I see you so sad, I don't know what to do.
Mr. Hyobu! Why'd you do that to Minamoto?!
He's my enemy, in several meanings.
But I don't want to see you looking so sad.
Please, wake Minamoto up.
Minamoto, who's always yelling at us and complaining...
Now I look at him... Just lying there, with his eyes closed...
And I!
I can deflect a missile, but...
With all my power, I can't do anything!
That dream was based on a prediction, to find a possibility for the future.
It was made to find a way out.
Leave BABEL and join me, Queen.
Mr. Hyobu...
In the dream or in reality, that's the only way out.

No... Kaoru!
Wh-What is this? Why are Minamoto and I?
Kaoru! Don't get caught up in the program!
It's a dream!
A dream?
If Kaoru's and Mr. Minamoto's minds synchronize,
I might be able to pull them out of the dream!
