The Return, And Then...
Angelique!
Angelique's been kidnapped!
Ange!
Mr. J.D.!
Ange!
Mr. J.D.!
Ange!
Captive Angelique
Why did you take me?
Why did you do it to the point of hurting everyone...?
Aren't you like a brother to Mr. J.D.?
Brother?
Yes...
I heard you're both artifacts.
The original is defective.
He will break down sooner or later.
You're wrong! Mr. J.D. is-!
We'll enter the city in 3 minutes and 17 seconds.
Be quiet.
What do you plan to do?
You're hurt as well.
You do strange things.
Did you say Farian!?
There's no mistake about it, right?
Angelique's in Farian, right?
Yes.
I've researched other institutions...
That type of automobile can only belong to the Foundation's Headquarters.
The Foundation's Headquarters?
To think Yorgo would...
No. He was summoned a few days ago by the Congress regarding the Jinx.
This was probably done by a person who acted on his own.
Is that how it is?
Then leave the rest to us.
I'm sorry, Rayne-kun.
I can't do anything but this right now.
I'm leaving Angelique to you!
Yeah.
This is...!
Angelique's...
I finally figured it out.
I must tell you an important thing.
Be safe...
Little Ange.
In the absence of Yorgo, someone acted on his own and used the Jasper Doll for his experiments.
There's only one person who would do that.
It's Erenfried.
How dare that youngster do such a thing to Lady Angelique...?
He's grown impatient after the defeat of the Jinx.
He'll probably use Angelique's power to strengthen the Jinx.
Without thinking of the huge risk.
Good grief...! What a troublesome young man.
He's probably anticipating our coming and is lying in wait.
He's also desperate.
There's a big possibility it'll turn into an all-out war.
But if we head out now, we'll arrive in Farian at night.
There has never been such a number of people to save the Princess from a villain before.
What's wrong, J.D.?
I remembered...
The days we spent with Ange in the Hidamari Mansion.
But I can only remember those heartwarming days.
And it's very sad...
When Angelique was there... and we were there...
we had the Hidamari Mansion.
It seemed to become a natural thing before we realized it.
I have to bring her back!
The warm light that shines on us!
In exchange for my life!
But if we lack even just one person, we'll be unable to bring those days back.
We'll come back!
Us with Angelique... to the Hidamari Mansion!
To our home!
Where is this place...?
Welcome to the Artifact Foundation.
I apologize for the rough treatment.
I thought I couldn't invite you here if I didn't do that.
Let me go!
Please... let me go!
Don't you like it?
Even though that's a special seat developed for the Queen's Egg's exclusive use?
And I also have the best equipment to lead my research to success.
The Queen's Egg that purifies the Thanatos completely...
If I use your power, the Jinx will be able to purify the Thanatos.
You'll lend us your power, right?
I think your way of doing things is wrong.
Destroying people's homes and towns just to defeat the Thanatos...
There's no way I'll lend my power to someone who uses the Jinx like that!
"Like that," you say?
Then... Then is there any other way?
There's no better choice I can think of than this!
But at this rate, the Jinx will only bring suffering to people...
My Jinx is perfect!
It's just that the Jinx hasn't been altered yet!
And Director Yorgo has yet to allow those alterations...!
That's why we need your power!
We can save the world with just one sacrifice!
Sacrifice?
That's right. We need a priceless sacrifice for scientific advancement.
And since it's to save the world, you should be satisfied as the Queen's Egg.
You're not doing this for the world.
You're doing it for yourself!
What?
Rayne said so.
You're exactly like he was before.
He was so engrossed in research that he lost sight of everything else!
But there was a time when Rayne woke up to realization!
He realized he shouldn't be doing such things!
That's why he wants you to realize it too!
That's enough! Shut up!
I'll begin the experiment.
Jet, setup the research specimen.
Understood.
I shall setup the research specimen now.
Please stop, Mr. Jet!
Stay put.
Well then, good night...
Angelique.
I'll use your data effectively!
So they've come...
I can sense my brother...
I must fight him.
I knew their security would be perfect...
Our determination won't be swayed no matter what happens.
Our aim: The room where Lady Angelique is held captive. There is no other.
Let's settle this.
Rayne!
Rayne...
I've waited for you.
Aube Hunter Gentlemen...
I shall entertain you...
with the best Jinx units I've built.
So you've been waiting after all!
We shall take back our princess!
Go, Jinx!
We'll surely...
Mr. J.D.!
No matter where you may be...
Rayne!
Even in exchange for this body...
Mr. Nyx!
We will surely... protect you!
Sir Hyuuga!
Jet!
You're defective.
Stop it!
Jet!
I'll...!
Don't hurt...
Now, it's the end.
the people important to me!
What on earth... is this...?
This light's... Angelique!
I can feel a warm power.
A light full of love.
You truly are...
Sorry!
Give it up already, Erenfried!
I won't let you harm Angelique anymore!
Still far from it!
Stand up, Jet!
Jet!
What's wrong, Jet!?
That's enough.
Yorgo!
Director Yorgo...
This is...!
That's enough.
I received a report on all your actions.
You ignored the Jinx's suspension, acted on your own,
and concealed information on damages.
And this fight just now...
What have you been doing, not reporting to me?
I... I...
did this for the Foundation!
You imbecile.
Everyone!
Thank goodness, we met you again!
The pains of our separation are a prelude that brings blessing to our meeting.
It seems tonight's prelude has been a little too long.
Your voice reached us.
Your voice that gives us courage beyond any other.
We'll no longer let you travel a dark path.
In exchange for my life.
I heard it too... all your voices, but...
Even though I can hear them so close to me,
I couldn't run towards them no matter how hard I tried!
That's why we came here, right?
Thank you!
So you came too, Ervin?
Yorgo? What do you want?
We are entirely at fault in this incident.
Let me apologize again later.
Mr. Yorgo...
Let's go, Angelique.
Rayne, I need to talk to you.
Is it something we can't leave for later?
I see. So the situation is more serious than I thought.
According to the survey, powerful Thanatos will be unstoppable for the Silver Wood Knights before long.
And what will telling me that do?
You should've realized it already.
That there's a possibility hidden within the light of the Queen's Egg.
If we tune her Purifying Powers to the frequency that controls the Jinx,
It's theoretically possible.
No. That method will strain Angelique's body too much.
There's no other way out of the situation!
You understand that, right?
Even if I do, it's impossible for me!
Rayne!
Give me a night to think about it.
Rayne!
Hey!
What did Mr. Yorgo say?
It's nothing important, really.
Wait! There's something I need to ask you!
Mr. Erenfried said...
He could save the world with my power...
It's impossible. Erenfried's way is too dangerous.
But I thought about it for a bit...
I might be able to help you if there's such a way...
If... If there was such a way, what would you do?
I'd be really afraid and I'd have to muster all my courage, but...
But if it can really save people...!
Rayne?
I don't think that method will save people.
I really can't put you in danger.
But as a scientist, I can't deny what Yorgo says.
Yorgo told me the Silver Wood Knights will no longer be able to handle the Thanatos.
If this goes on, all the creatures in this world might disappear sooner or later.
That's why he proposed a plan to overcome it.
And that plan is...?
To use your power.
If all goes well, we'd completely annihilate the Thanatos.
But if the process is prolonged, it might put a terrible strain on your body.
And I might die.
That's it, right?
I won't let you die as long as I'm here!
For all of us to return to the Hidamari Mansion!
But... you don't have to do it if you don't want to.
It might sound unfair, but I want you to decide.
Ange.
I...
want to be with everyone in the Hidamari Mansion...!
But...
At this rate, someday, even the Hidamari Mansion might...
If I can stop that with my power...
I'll...!
Next
Always so direct...
Warm just like the Sun.
The sublime future Queen.
Our light, Angelique.
The Return, And Then...
Next, The Return, And Then...
I want to protect them... the people important to me!
