Great job, girls!
Not just Minamoto, but even a high-level esper like the director.
So, what's she dreaming about?
It's no use. I can't read anything.
What are you trying to do? Let me out at once, or else!
...you'll be mean to me?
Why, you!
The queen belongs to me. I won't let anyone get in my way.
Kyosuke... What are you doing?
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Zettai Karen Children
Meeting you like I did
Wasn't just so we could live
Tiny wishes, cross through time
And surely change the future
When my limiter (changing myself)
Is released (changing yourself)
An angel's shining surges through me
The "wings" that will save the world
Now I'm on the path I chose
And I want to grab my dreams (Can't stop)
The power given to me
Spurs me into the sky
Strongly, gallantly, I beat my wings
Absolutely lovely, my wings
39th sense: "Impermanent Existence! Psycho-Divers"
Leave BABEL and join me, Queen.
Mr. Hyobu...
In the dream or in reality, that's the only way out.
What are you doing here, Kiritsubo?
You dirty old man!
Aoi? Shiho?
Major Hyobu! We can't let our guard down around you, can we?
You're holding Minamoto hostage so you can take Kaoru!
You unforgivable worm!
EAT THIS!
Now you've made me angry.
What are you doing?!
Damned terrorist!
Let go! Stand aside! Limiter, released!
Queen, we'll talk again some other time.
Don't insult us! You're not getting away!
Not bad. As expected of the Lightspeed Goddess.
What are you going on about?
Isn't that overdoing it a little?
Help us, Kaoru!
You think he'd die from something like this?!
Correct, Goddess.
Aoi!
Why, you!
I'll never join you!
Not if you keep bullying Minamoto and my friends!
You won't, will you? A bad miscalculation on my part.
I let my impatience get the better of me.
Wait!
I'll give you this, as an apology for my upsetting you.
A photo?
You may have the power to enter his dream.
Grow up quickly, Queen.
He escaped again.
I might be able to enter Minamoto's dream? Meaning what?
This is!
Kaoru!
I'm...
Kaoru.
Sorry for the wait, Minamoto.
No.
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.
Hey! Use your hands!
No way! My hands are full right now.
You're too spoiled, Kaoru. You aren't a little kid anymore.
What's going on here?
You're too spoiled, Kaoru. You aren't a little kid anymore.
What are you talking about?! What's wrong with you?!
Don't go! I know everything!
The battle's about to start, right? You don't have to do this!
Because if you're determined to go, I'll have to!
Where?
Don't move!
Don't move, Queen Of Catastrophe!
No... Kaoru!
Wh-What is this? Why is Minamoto aiming at me?
Minamoto, even if I'm gone, nothing will change.
An army of other espers will never stop fighting.
Then stop them!
Please! Espers! Normals! What does either side gain from this war?!
Kaoru!
It's no use.
Did you know, Minamoto? I...
Kaoru!
Can you hear me, Kaoru?
Aoi?
Don't get caught up in the program!
It's a dream! Understand?!
What are you saying?
A dream?
I've got a reaction!
Just as I thought.
The hypnosis is less effective on Kaoru.
If she can synchronize with Minamoto's mind...
Right! We may be able to pull them both out of the dream!
Find an exit, no matter what! Can you do that, Kaoru?
You're shouting! Lower the volume!
But where would I find an exit?
We'll work on that from this end!
Don't resist! Walk towards me slowly, Kaoru!
Minamoto... You're totally caught up in the dream.
Well then, I'll just have to wake you up from it!
Here we go!
Kaoru, don't!
Let's run for it, Minamoto! This bad dream's over!
Of course! This is...
Okay, we can get out through there!
Wait! That may not be a way out!
If we break out of the dream program, we might fall into an even deeper coma!
We don't have much of a choice here!
SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING
Synchronized swimming?
SYNCHRONIZED SWIMMING Wrong. If you must, it's synchronized "suimin".
SYNCHRONIZED SLEEPING Wrong. If you must, it's synchronized "suimin".
Aoi, Shiho, prepare to deploy.
Doubt!
Why? How do you know?!
You really suck at this.
What did you say?!
Hello, Mr. President. How are you feeling?
You! The people who attacked me!
Oh, what strong back muscles you have!
He must work out.
I had a look at your personal data file. A lot of dirty data in there, huh?
Give it back!
If you don't want these secrets getting out...
I know. How about you give me a list
of the high-level espers your nation is secretly holding?
That's absurd! I refuse!
Don't get me wrong.
This isn't a negotiation. It's an order.
So, that was our first big world debut, huh?
But why did we do it out of the blue like this, Major?
No reason.
You don't want to be stuck causing trouble in just Japan, do you?
Besides, the time is coming when she will reign as the queen.
Now's the time for me to do what I can.
I see.
A fascinating story.
The power that broke Barrett's brainwashing...
It certainly stands apart from ordinary high-level espers.
Who are?!
Black Phantom, I presume?
The one thing I don't know yet is the meaning of the term "queen",
but I will report my findings to my master.
I bid you good day, my PANDRA friends.
Who was she?!
You're sure this is the place, The Hound?
Yeah. I think Kuromaki's alone inside.
Good girl, Hatsune!
And here's your reward.
Hatsune's right.
I don't see anyone from PANDRA in the area.
Even so, she's living in a nice place, huh??
She must be rolling in cash. Meaning...
People in PANDRA get paid better than we do, right?
Hmm...
Um, maybe this isn't the place to be thinking about that.
Great. They would come when the major and the others are out.
Whatever. Time to turn the tables on them.
Y-Yuichi Nakamura.
Hold it, Geek!
All right, give the capture of Kuromaki top priority.
It's okay. You all can do this.
Now then, The Children...
And Wild Cat!
Released!
<> <> Released!
Whether through fire or water...
We can't go into a dream, but...
For the sake of our friends, we're going in here!
The Absolutely Lovely Children and Wild Cat!
With me, Men!
Oh, wait.
There's lots of land mines over there. Before you go in, Aoi should...
And it's too late now, isn't it?
Yes!
Just stay there! We'll get Kuromaki right now!
Pretty messy, huh?
I've got her!
PSYCHIC STUN SUBJECTION!
A mirror?
Bingo!
That's one on a trip to nightmare land!
Naomi!
Hold it!
What's with this room?
And that's two more I send on their way.
Aoi? Shiho?
Okay, let's make sense of what's going on.
We're having the same dream due to Setsuko Kuromaki's power.
The impetus was psychic photographs.
Only we two would know what that particular image of a woman was.
Hence, we have the same dream.
Minamoto?
What I saw before...
Is that what's actually going to happen in the future?
Kaoru...
I was assuming it was all just a dream, but now...
My heart was beating so hard... I was scared to death!
Do you know something, Minamoto? Tell me!
Calm down. This is just a dream.
Don't let Hyobu play you.
But...
Besides, I believe in you. Aren't you girls The Children?
That's why you never lose!
You!
Mental attacks are less effective on high-level espers.
Especially since I'm a telepath, like you!
Then I'll do it again and put you in the deepest sleep possible!
No, don't look at it! She'll catch you in her sleep image!
How does a little kid get a gun?!
It's made for kids.
Liar!
And you can't shoot with your eyes closed!
I'm a psychometrist.
I know where the bullet will hit without looking!
In that case!
Stop!
What's?
A self-destruct device! I can't disarm it.
Aoi, wake up!
Can't...
This is your weak spot, right?
DON'T! Not the ears!
Kojika! Down!
So long, Chief!
Kuromaki!
Too bad, dumb asses!
You can move now! I cleared all the mines!
Aoi!
Naomi! Aoi!
How to save Minamoto and the others... Everything about PANDRA...
You're going to tell me everything.
Forget it. You won't get anything from me.
Because...
She used her power on herself!
Stomach's full... Can't eat any more...
She's shut herself behind a protection wall.
I can't get any info from her until she wakes herself up.
Maybe if you blow in her ear?
You're the only one who's sensitive to that, Aoi.
I wonder how long it's been on the outside.
We need to find a way out of here on our own.
I don't mind. I was just thinking I wouldn't mind staying here, like this.
Hold it!
Maybe that's why we can't get out of here.
Your mental waves are stronger than mine or Kuromaki's.
Am I an adult now? A child?
I know I'm just a 10-year-old kid in the real world, but...
I just can't think that way.
I'm having the dirtiest thoughts right now,
but I want to keep them deep inside my heart.
It's strange, being an adult...
Is this what she's always thinking about?
You're probably being affected by the dream program.
You'll go back to normal when you wake up,
and you'll probably forget everything you're thinking and feeling now.
I don't want to. I don't want to forget.
This is no time to be acting like a big baby! Wake up!
No!
Because I love you ten times as much now as when I was 10 years old!
That's right. The moment she speaks...
Do you know, Minamoto? I...
Kaoru, don't!
...always loved you. I love you.
I heard. I always heard them.
Those words...
So why didn't I realize it till now?!
It may just be a dream, but...
But to me right now, you're the man who's protected me for ten years!
Do you hate me now? Can you only love me as little Kaoru?
Kaoru...
It's okay. Even in the real world, I'll stay by your side till you're grown.
I promise.
Then, does that mean that you?
I'll answer that when I meet the real you.
Really? Then promise me!
That's good enough for now.
It's a promise, Minamoto.
Kaoru!
You may be a little kid, but you drive a hard bargain.
Still, it doesn't matter.
Thank you, Kaoru.
Oh, you're awake now!
What the?! You guys?
Look at her. Kaoru's still asleep.
Except Kuromaki's power should be wearing off.
She'll wake up any minute now.
Huh? Where am I?
Kaoru!
Minamoto! You're awake?! Um, why was I asleep, too?
Oh, Kaoru.
Don't you remember anything?
That's right.
If espers and Normals can just live together as human beings,
then our future will surely be...
You're naive, kid.
Perhaps he really has finally realized it.
Even attaching himself to those girls may not be enough to save him.
Hey! Don't fall asleep there!
'kay...
I barely got any sleep... Forget it. I'm at my limit...
Where's Kaoru?
She's feeling fine, so she and our friends went someplace after school.
I see.
You all worked hard on this. Thank you.
A super-rare card, just like I heard they had!
Good for you, Tono.
Tono, you should buy Chisato a present once in a while.
Well, th-then... Here! Have this Heike Crab card!
Huh? I don't want that.
Mr. Hyobu?
Who's he?
Oh... Someone I know. Sorry, can you go on ahead?
If he tries anything, ring the security buzzer!
I'll be fine.
See you tomorrow, Chisato!
Your classmate's a telepath, Queen?
Now, look... Can you stop calling me "queen"?
Only if you stop calling me "Mr. Hyobu".
Then what should I call you? Please tell me it's not "Major".
Kyosuke Hyobu. Yeah... Just call me Kyosuke.
Darn it, that's not fair. I can't stay mad at you now.
I was kidding. Just keep calling me Mr. Hyobu, like...
Okay then, Kyosuke...
Thank you for saving Minamoto.
Save your thanks.
The one who actually saved him was you.
I gave you that hint because I was no match for your tears.
I don't remember anything about the dream.
What was it? What did I?
Kaoru!
Don't listen to anything he says!
Minamoto!
Ah, you're looking well, Minamoto.
Stop it, both of you!
I honestly thought you would have given up a long time ago.
I never figured you could make it through ten cycles of that prediction program.
Shut up! On the ground, arms apart! Now!
Don't flatter yourself.
In the end, I'll be the one who changes the future.
Same goes for you! I swear that I'll protect Kaoru!
And in deference to your tenacity, I leave the queen in your hands for now.
We'll meet again.
Stop!
You disgusting, lecherous lolicon.
Minamoto, what's this?
What kind of dream were you having?
Shut up!
What? Was it the sort of dream you can't tell anyone about?
Don't tease grownups!
Five more years...
Right... She's really going to make me wait five years, isn't she?
When your tears overflow
I want to gently wipe them away
Your tiny back which bears a similar
Destiny
Even if a tough reality surrounds you
I won't let you be alone
Flower that blooms in this filthy city
While not knowing what filth is
I absolutely won't let you cry
As long as I am here
When that door opens, we can be one
Only the promise we made that time
Will always shine deep in my heart
I won't hurt your heart anymore
I'm not just saying it
When I take up your sins
Together, me and you
Will make a miracle, Break Your Destiny
