Again, this just in... moments ago, the enemy government held a press conference,
announcing that if the negotiations do not reach a settlement by 6 o'clock,
they cannot be held accountable for the severity of the consequences.
To counter this, Secretary-General Chan Jin of the Chinese Democratic Alliance in Southern china announced...
that there is a connection between the unknown AS belonging to the terrorists and the Northern Chinese government.
Listen carefully.
The Burning Hong Kong
The time limit is 6:00 A.M.
We only have 90 minutes left.
If we fail, it'll all be over.
Hong Kong will be engulfed in a sea of fire!
And that may not be all that'll happen.
Her face is still just as pretty.
You go easy on the ladies.
You still can't find Yuifan?
The preparations are all set.
Just watch.
Onee-chan! It's me, Yuilan!
I'm surrounded by scary men right now!
What are you doing?
No, let go of me!
Oh oh! I've been caught!
No! Onee-sama save me!
Ow! Ow! No more... No more...
Neither the North nor the South wanted things to turn out this way.
Besides, there doesn't seem to be any consistency in Venom's destructive actions.
An independent group is most likely behind this...
However, who are they and what are they trying to achieve by making the North and South fight each other?
President Hunter, there's a visitor for you.
She said she's in a hurry and wants to see you about an urgent matter right away.
Ask that person to leave.
You should know what kind of situation we're in.
Hey! Move it!
Y-You! This place is restricted!
I said, let me meet him!
Helmajistanis?
Hmm, I don't know.
But there's a building with a bunch of Arabs. See? It's over there.
You're Kashim?
You reek of booze, you good-for-nothing kid.
Are you trying to disgrace the name of Bdakshon?!
I don't give a damn.
State your business.
I was asked by a Chinese girl to give this to you.
Take it and get lost.
There are five sniping positions.
You're Sagara Sousuke, right?
That's right.
There's a taxi waiting for you at the northern exit of the park.
Get in it.
Who ordered you to do this?
Is this related to the plot that's going on right now?
And you are?
Why do you need to know?
Sagara Sousuke.
Go to the second floor of the building behind you.
He is waiting for you in the back room.
He?
You should try thinking about the name of this place.
Kowloon...
Yo. It's been what? Three months?
It's great to see you, Kashim.
G-Gauln!
You look really surprised.
Is it that weird that I'm still alive?
Back there, you were...
Supposed to be dead?
You shouldn't forget that my Codarl was equipped with a Lambda Driver.
It can protect its operator even when self-destructing.
Well, even so, I'm in this condition.
Hey, hey...
Look at the state I'm in.
I don't think there's any point in rushing things.
What's your objective?!
What? I just wanted to talk to you.
Don't screw with me!
It's the truth.
As you can see, my time is almost up.
That's why I got the Codarl to go on a rampage throughout the city, hoping to lure you and that white AS here.
I scattered a message to you all over the city.
Majido, the strategist who made a name for himself by leading guerilla forces in Helmajistan.
His alias was Bdakshon's Tiger.
And the assassin who received the name Kashim from him...
In other words, you are the son of Bdakshon's Tiger.
Hamidra was an associate of yours who owned an electronics store.
If I gave you the message "Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui,"
you would have looked around for an electronics store owned by a Helmajistani.
It was a message that could only be understood by you.
However, although I thought you would've brought a lot of your folks with you, you came alone.
Did something happen?
That's none of your business!
Hmph. So you started feeling uncomfortable being there.
What?
In Mithril.
Anyone staying with forces claiming to be saviors of justice is bound to start getting irritated with them.
Especially a man like you.
Are you done with your pompous speech?
In that case, tell me everything you know about the organization that's supporting you.
You amaze me.
Is work that important to you?
Very well. I'll tell you.
Amalgam...
That's the name of the organization that hired me.
The organization's objectives are to research and develop the latest weapons and to test them in combat.
They orchestrated conflicts in various regions for that purpose.
In the hardline factions of every country, Amalgam supporters are growing.
Many in the East and the West prefer the Cold War's structure of maintaining military weapons.
Is that organization involved in this commotion?
It's caused by me alone.
I bet the members of Amalgam are in a hurry to find us.
Venom!
Is that you, Yuifan?
I'm going now.
I see.
Take care.
Good-bye, Sensei.
A long time ago, I raised those twins, Yuifan and Yuilan.
They're just like you were. They're as faithful as dogs even now.
They are the ones who've been causing this commotion at my command.
But tonight, Yuifan will fight against Mithril and die.
If not, she'll be killed by Amalgam's execution team.
Execution team?
They're a bunch of dreadful people.
Their commander is a skilled lunatic.
Your comrades won't stand a chance.
As soon as they meet him, they'll die.
It's appeared! It's in the upper-tier district!
All right! It's time to dispose of that little kitten!
You said Amalgam, right?
Is there a Whispered among the ranks of that organization?
That is correct.
He has become a key member of the organization.
If they have a Whispered already, why are they still targeting Chidori?!
It shouldn't be necessary anymore!
It's because he's not perfect.
The knowledge possessed by the Whispered differs among individuals.
If there's someone who can comprehend Lambda Driver theory,
then there's another whose strength is in submarine technology.
That's why when a new Whispered is discovered, it's necessary to figure out what special field that person excels in.
The experiment we performed on her in the Khanka Autonomous Region was for that.
As a result, we found out that Chidori Kaname is a Whispered.
That's all I know though.
Where is Amalgam's base?!
Who are the key members of the organization?!
I've become bored with this conversation.
It's boring and this isn't the main question at hand.
Hey, hey.
Do you think I care about my life right now?
Please, tell me.
Please, huh?
Are you really the Kashim?
What?
Remember!
When we first met five years ago, what were you doing?
At that time, I was the instructor for the mercenary camp.
You were a guerilla fighting against the Soviets.
We weren't comrades, but we weren't enemies either.
I still remember it clearly.
You had such good eyes back then.
You didn't deny or love life.
In addition, you had no worries, doubt, or pain.
That's right. You had the eyes of a saint.
That's what you can call beautiful.
Do you get it? It means you were consistent. You had no contradictions.
Your eyes were as beautiful as ever when we met again at Khanka.
You had the eyes of a human without weakness.
It would have been great for you to have killed me with those eyes.
That's what I thought.
But, what's with that look now?
Venom has appeared!
It's in the upper-tier district.
Please equip the ARX-7 with the emergency deployment booster.
Arm it with the boxer-shot cannon and have it stand by at the elevator!
Captain, use of the Arbalest is forbidden.
We can use it as a decoy.
I want to reduce the risk to everyone as much as possible.
Besides, Sagara-san hasn't...
Forgive my rudeness, Captain, but I can only think that Sergeant Sagara has abandoned his mission.
It's a mistake to rely on that AS and that man!
That's not necessarily true.
This isn't some school club activity!
I'm well aware of that!
Are you lecturing me now?
No, but I cannot remain silent this time.
You are allowing your personal feelings to affect your judgement and plan to circumvent orders from a higher authority!
What will happen to the organization and to military regulations?!
Besides, giving special treatment to an officer who has abandoned his mission is...
That's enough. Then, who was it that placed such an outrageous level of responsibility upon this one officer?
That's...
Us!
If I'm wrong, then tell me!
Six months ago, who was it that brought us extremely important information at the airport without regard for his safety?
Four months ago, who was it that fought against an extremely powerful weapon and crushed it?
Who was it that brought back the nuclear warhead even though his comrades...
...were being picked off one by one deep in the mountains of Helmajistan?
Three months ago, who was it that desperately protected this ship?
So, tell me. Who was it?
It was Sergeant Sagara.
That's right.
And yet you're still going to condemn him?
You're going to label him a coward?
No.
If it will satisfy you, then I will acknowledge it.
I like him.
But, these personal feelings are irrelevant here. He will do it for us again.
He will not abandon us.
No matter how bad things are now, he will recover and come back to us!
A person's true character can't be changed.
He is strong and kind!
Strong and kind?
Captain, do you think I'll be convinced by that?
You know that that isn't what this is about.
You are doubting my decision.
Commander Richard Mardukas, will you trust me? Or will you not trust me?
I, Teletha Testarossa, who has protected this ship as its Captain up until now?
Now. Choose.
You have become strong.
Aye, ma'am.
Equip the ARX-7 with the emergency deployment booster and boxer-shot cannon.
Stand by at the elevator.
Equip the ARX7 with the emergency deployment booster and boxer-shot cannon.
Stand by at the elevator, sir!
Thank you.
I want everyone to come back safely.
That's what she says.
The communication line opened on its own.
Did someone mean for us to hear all that on purpose?
Who knows.
But I didn't think that Tessa would argue so aggressively with the Commander.
She wants everyone to come back safely.
Everyone! What do you think?
That's the plan, of course.
We can't let our princess cry.
She's so worried for us. I'll be honest, I'm moved.
It's just like her.
She's a good officer.
The time limit is 0600.
If you're really pros, live up to what's expected of one.
I wont miss. You guys won't miss either.
If we accomplish that, everything will be good.
Got it?!
Roger!
What a terrible face.
Are you worried? Are you hesitating?
What became of the saint that you once were?
I'm disappointed.
You're full of contradictions now.
You're not even worth killing.
Shut up!
You're the same as me. Why are you trying to become a normal person now?
It makes me want to puke.
I said, shut up!
No way. I'll say more.
Since you joined Mithril and met those kids from school, you've become a worthless soldier.
You were dragged in by those shits, and now you're pathetic.
I told you earlier that you were irritated, remember?
It's all because of them.
It's called humanism.
It doesn't suit the assassin Kashim.
You're seen as a sucker by everyone.
Listen. The weak leech off the strong.
They act friendly and gain your trust, while they're just sucking your bones dry!
Tell me what you really think.
Is it fun to mix around with the weak?
Come on. Answer me.
I'm asking you if it's fun to be around the weak. Hm?
I'm telling you to shut the hell up!
You don't have the balls to kill me, huh?
I'm going to die soon.
And when I die, I plan to drag as many people as I can along with me.
I've ordered Yuifan to cause a ruckus and engulf Hong Kong in a sea of fire.
And to the other, Yuilan, I have ordered her to kill the ultimate cancer that screwed you up.
Cancer?
The girl, Kashim.
I wonder if the notice has come to you yet.
I've already heard the whole thing.
I was told that her cute outfit was torn to pieces.
It seems like she didn't beg for her life though.
Her last words were, "I'm sorry."
I wonder who she said this to.
Makes you want to cry, doesn't it?
You're lying...
It's true...
I wanted to show you the photo and see the look of despair on your face,
but I guess I'll refrain from doing that.
Because the damage done to you is very obvious.
Tokyo girl...
You can't make it in time...
Oh, poor thing...
Kaname-chan was such a nice girl.
Gauln!!
That's right. I killed her!
Now! Hate me! Hate me!
Kashim!
Next Episode
Gauln.
Only that old enemy could see through everything about me.
The beckoning of the devil. The calculated experimental final curse.
The final episode is next. "The Continuing Days."
The Continuing Days
There's only one thing that penetrates through despair... a violent attack.
