Hello, my prince.
I was alone with Ayanokoji.
It wasn't any more than that, but my heart was throbbing so hard,
I thought it might explode.
I started to wish we could stay just like that,
never actually getting anywhere.
But it was just a dream.
Mail Box But it was just a dream.
It vanished before I even knew it,
and we were swallowed up by darkness.
And then...

Kyoshiro!
13th Campus Skull and Bones Academy
What is this place?
Ayanokoji!
Ayanokoji! Ayanokoji! Ayanokoji!
Ayanokoji!
Ayanokoji... What should I do? What do I do?
Someone, help! Is anyone there?
Someone, anyone! I've got an injured person here!
Setsuna...
Setsuna! Setsuna!
Help us, Setsuna...
Someone... anyone, help...
Ayanokoji! Ayanokoji!
Infirmary
Ayanokoji!
Isn't there anything I can use? Anything at all?
Ayanokoji got hurt trying to save me.
How could I have gotten so carried away?
Even when I can't fight like Setsuna...
When I can't protect him...
When I am so useless that I can't even treat Ayanokoji's wounds...
I was so full of myself.
But I really am empty...
I will protect...
Big brother, I will protect... I will... So...
Ayanokoji has a brother?
Big brother! Big brother!
Ayanokoji!
Ayanokoji...
No, I have to do something!
I'm the only one here.
You'll be all right. I'm here for you.
I'm here...
No good... What now?
You irritate me!
But this time I'll take care of you once and for all!
Batraz!
Attack!
Kyoshiro!
Sheesh, what am I gonna do with you...
Ayanokoji?
You're okay?
Y-Yes!
I see... That's good.
Did you do this for me?
Y-Yes... I didn't do a very good job...
No, you did. Thank you.
Hello, my prince.
Ayanokoji is awake! He's smiling!
Ayanokoji!
I am so glad that Ayanokoji is okay.
We're still in trouble, but still I'm glad.
Sorry to put you to all this trouble.
Oh, it's nothing at all! I'm the one who's been a burden to you.
You had to protect me...
Well, I'm ashamed of myself.
My brother would never have gotten you into trouble like this. Never.
Your brother?
Hello, my prince.
I wonder what Ayanokoji's brother is like.
When I think about it, I really don't know much about Ayanokoji.
I want to know...
What?
Ah! Um, well...
What do you want to know?
Y-You have a brother?
Um... What's he like?
My brother?
Well, I'm sure he's strong and brave, but also kind and always willing to smile.
And I'm sure he always wins, no matter what happens.
That's the impression I get...
That he's the greatest prince, without any rivals!
Prince?
I'm sorry...
It was rude of me to ask about that at a time like this.
What am I thinking?
Going on about my image of my prince...
Oh, I'm just beyond stupid!
You're right.
He's strong and brave, but also kind.
He is always smiling...
And he always wins against any odds.
That's my big brother.
He's my hero.
It's strange... I've never said this to anyone before.
I wonder why...
What? Um...
Sorry, I didn't mean to start talking weird like that.
No, it wasn't weird at all!
I understand, because I have one too. A person like that...
You do?
This person isn't a big brother or a boyfriend.
He's my idol, my hero, my dream...
He's the most important person to me.
So, it's not strange at all!
Oh... uh, that's just what I think, at least...
I see.
So that's why. That's probably why it was easy to talk to you.
Because you see the same thing I see.
My prince,
I'm so happy, even despite this situation we're stuck in!
This might only be a coincidence, but still...
Still, this is our secret, Ayanokoji's and mine.
Um... Could you introduce me to your brother? I, um...
Ayanokoji?
We won't be able to see him again.
Huh?
He's dead.
He died... ten years ago.
I'm sorry. I...
Don't worry. You didn't mean any harm.
I got a little carried away there.
I'm sure you also know about the catastrophe ten years ago, right?
The "Seven Days of Hot Snow"...
Yes. I learned about it at school.
My brother lost his life in that tragedy.
There was research being conducted ten years ago
in order to create super humans, Absolute Angels.
My grandfather, Reitaro Ayanokoji, was at the center of this research.
And my older brother, Kazuya Ayanokoji, was also on the research team.
He was as much a genius as all the other scholars there,
who had been hand-picked from all over the world.
When it happened, I was getting a tour of the research facilities.
Kazuya?
Then... I saw him.
Kazuya was standing before the Angel's light with tears in his eyes.
My brother said, "This is something that no one should tamper with."
I ended up learning what he meant soon after that.
An experiment went awry,
and the lab turned into a living hell filled with screams of agony.
Big brother!
Go!
He put me into an emergency evacuation capsule,
walked alone into the light, and vanished.
To save me, and this town, and the entire world.
A vast area around the lab was obliterated, leaving catastrophic damage.
Miraculously, the Joutou Academy campus had avoided destruction.
People returned to the area,
and rebuilt the new school town of Academia.
Yes, my brother saved this world... all by himself.
So I will fight. I will give this life that he saved, in order to carry out his will.
That's why I cannot stop. No matter what happens, I must not stop.
Oh, I'll go get some fresh water...
Hello, my prince.
I turns out Ayanokoji isn't just cool.
He has a strong motivation behind his fight.
He is very, very determined.
There's a world of difference between him and me.
I don't have the confidence to go with him.
But still... he told me that he needed me.
He told me so... So I want to...
Get away from her!
Ayanokoji!
Get away from her! Big brother!
B-Brother?
Hello, my prince.
This is Ayanokoji's brother?
But I thought he was dead...
Are you all right?
Y-Yes. But you say he's your brother?
This is Sojiro Ayanokoji, my other brother.
He is a traitor who ran away with Batraz.
I figured that's what you thought.
Of course it is.
Batraz...
No, all Absolute Angels drain the life from other creatures, and will destroy this world.
To turn a blind eye on that... If that isn't evil, what is?
Yeah, you're right. She's done some bad things.
But... I pity her.
Huh?
Pity? He feels pity for that vicious cat girl?
She's not the only one. All the Absolute Angels are the same.
They are fleeting and fragile.
How long are you going babble about that?!
Don't you know what happened ten years ago?
Why everything's in ruins? Why so many people died?
You know as well as I do, Sojiro!
Nobody should come into contact with the Absolute Angels.
They shouldn't exist in this world.
You know this! So, why?
Does that apply to Setsuna, too?
Would you say the same about someone who's been fighting for you?
Are you really okay with that?
Do you really think so?
Well?
I...
As a matter of fact, you know it, don't you?
Huh?
Ayanokoji?
I swear I will destroy the Absolute Angels.
Valteisha with Megingjord, Tarlotte with Batraz,
Kaon with Murakumo, and Setsuna with Claiomh Solais.
I will not leave any of them out.
I will eliminate every one of them... with my own hands!
That was Kazuya's wish!
Destroy...
Kazuya, huh? Strong and brave and kind,
always smiling, always winning, no matter what the odds...
and so, so foolish.
Kyoshiro, it's about time you stop thinking about him.
He's gone. You won't find him anywhere now.
He is here! His lives on in me!
He will never disappear!
Ayanokoji is angry... all enraged and violent...
I've never seen him like this!
But... Why?
Why did his brother say the Absolute Angels are fragile and pitiable?
I swear I will destroy the Absolute Angels!
It certainly may be true.
But Ayanokoji is right to fight for Kazuya and everyone else...
But... But...
Kyoshiro!
Are you okay, Kyoshiro?
Yeah. Can you do this, Setsuna?
Yes, I am all right.
We will capture her!
Got it!
Setsuna...
I'll break you to bits, I'll rip you to shreds, I'll crush you!
C'mon, now. Let's go.
Batraz!
Shield us, Setsuna!
Right!
Don't back down, Setsuna!
Setsuna...
This is it!
Kyoshiro!
Setsuna! You are a fighting Sword!
A sword that crushes the Absolute Angels!
Don't give in until you've crushed your enemy, even if it breaks you!
Setsuna!
Don't say such sad things.
Kuu...
I thought you were just like a prince... noble and kind...
So, don't say such sad things!
Kuu...
Are you awake?
Where are we? What...
We're safe. For now.
I'm so glad you're all right.
Well, Himiko? What do you think of the reborn Murakumo?
This new Murakumo doesn't have any faults.
She is stronger, more brilliant more beautiful...
Just like the silver moon in the high sky.
I am the only one she is suited for. Wouldn't you agree, Himiko?
There is no one beside you who deserves to have Murakumo.
That's right.
This is the finishing touch... Now, I shall carve my mark.
Get up... my Sword, Murakumo.
