Even as we speak, the world marches towards destruction.
You must do something quickly.
That's easy for you to say, Flora.
That's just my screen name.
I am the Mysterious Woman.
Fine then, Mysty.
What about Olvidia?
Why not just use its power?
No.
That place was made with technology that is lost to us.
You can't go there.
A lost technology, huh?
This is my world's highest form of technology.
There's something I would like you to do with these, in conjunction with Alma Gear.
What are you planning to do?
I've got an idea.
I've had it up to here with my DT!
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
I want to return home as a real man
(Can I help?)
The treasure I've kept my whole life is too saddening to bear (saddening to bear)
I've long since hoped to give it up to you
Since I crossed worlds and met you, we've hardly been apart
I dream every night, but not always soundly
I toss and turn as my Hyperion bursts into flames
How can I cool my fevered aura?
The closer we become, and the further we clash,
the more my Alma Gear rises for battle
Won't you help me lose my DT (lose my DT)
My right hand has served me faithfully, but now we must part (Farewell!)
It is decided; we shall no longer be apart (no longer be apart)
I won't let you go until our score is settled
(Tonight's the night!)
I will fight to lose what is mine
The armies of St. Piria and Lord Jugglaburk gather at the deciding battlefront of Sarisariñama.
Kon and the others head there at once, hoping to prevent the worst, but someone stands in their way.
Hurry!
We don't have a second to lose!
We have a mission!
We have to stop this war!
Please.
You have to make it.
Kon, we don't have time for this.
Sorry, just gimme a second.
I've been sitting on my ass for most of my life and I stink at running.
The war could start any time now!
Yeah, but I still don't see how running over there is going to help anything.
I think finding some sort of transportation would get us there quicker.
Pathetic, ain't'cha?
Says the guy who only needs to hitch a ride on the nearest shoulder.
How could you possibly understand this crippling pain in my side?
I wanna ride on someone's shoulder too!
Sainglain, tie Kon's legs together with rope and drag him along.
I'm not a log!
Don't do that to me!
I'll be shredded before we even arrive at the battlefield!
Body and soul!
Those are...
They don't look too good.
And what's up with the bags under their eyes?
I think they'll have those forever.
They are definitely engaging in some unhealthy practices.
What the hell are you?
I will assume this is the St. Piria Empire's 36th princess and her retinue?
Hey, you!
How about you tell us who the hell you are first!
If you keep answering a question with a question, nobody will want to talk to anybody!
I am very sorry, but I cannot let you go any further.
Please do not blame me.
'S ain't good.
This guy isn't even trying to have a conversation.
But why do they keep going "oooh-aaaah"?
It's like they're in a choir or something!
They are Ulbrion.
We, the Ulga Religious Order, have created them with our secrets and science.
They move faster than the speed of light
and their strikes topple mountains!
Ulbrion, you say?
It might've been a good idea to put a little more effort into their name and build.
No offense and all, but it looks like you failed at whatever it was you were trying to do.
I think they made the name by combining the name of their order with the word "Hyperion".
Sounds like gibberish to me.
All right, but where did the "b" come from?
What is the "b" supposed to mean?!
Enough from you.
He actually talked to us!
Though it looks like we've kind of hurt his feelings.
I think we've been standing around here long enough, though.
Hey, pops.
Give him what you've got.
My pleasure!
May I ask you to wait one moment?
Why did you start giggling before you said that?
Ulbrion!
Prepare to attack.
I don't even know what to start laughing at.
The heck?
They're different now.
We of the Ulga Religious Order
have been researching Ulbrion for a very long time now.
If you use drugs to enhance the abilities of humans,
you simply cannot avoid it.
Yes, the side effects.
The side effects of the forced enhancements are mostly psychological.
There are many reports of them
easily overwhelming their opponents
only to fail before finishing them off because they were wracked by sudden headaches or amnesia.
That is what we looked into.
If they're going to crack when it matters the most,
why not just let them hang loose when they're not needed?
If they only need to be present when it's important, they won't fail.
We decided to use this novel concept as a base for our research, and the result is what you see here,
an unbeatable fighting force.
The strongest fighting machine of all time, the Ulbrion!
You know what, whatever.
We're in a hurry, so let's get this over with.
Attack!
They're pretty good.
But they're still knock-offs!
The real Hyperion's strength...
...is something like this!
Papipupe Polyperion!
Something Alma, soar!
Cool.
Maybe I can get away with not doing anything at all.
Sir Nabokov, we will be ready for battle shortly.
I'm glad to hear it.
Our military might is quite a sight.
Can we win?
Of course.
Even if we were to engage the enemy, there is no way we could lose.
And we have reinforcements from the Ulga Religious Order.
One could say that our victory is assured.
Exactly.
The dawn of my era begins.
Over there!
Something Explosion!
Something isn't right here.
It looks like you finally saw our true objective.
That's right.
Our mission isn't to eliminate you.
He wants to delay us!
Pops!
What?
These guys are only trying to buy some time!
What?
They're only here to keep us from getting over to Sarisariñama!
You may have noticed, but it's too late.
As long as we keep you, the unknown variables, here,
the war will begin on its own.
And then, the world will fall into the hands of the Ulga Religious Order!
All is within the hands of our archbishop!
What the hell is that?
You're like a caricature of a villain!
It's like you're in love with your own wickedness!
You had those lines planned out!
But I don't understand.
What does the start of the war have to do with the Ulga Religious Order taking over the world?
That's a good question.
Both the empire and Jugglaburk are hoping
to gain control of the world through this war.
Most of this world's military force has been deployed to Sarisariñama for this decisive battle.
Were these forces to be destroyed,
neither the empire nor Jugglaburk
would have enough power to rule the world.
I see.
So you're saying that everybody
just can't stop themselves from wanting to rule the world.
The gears of history have been set in motion!
You do not have what it takes to stand in the way of destiny!
Hey, pops.
I think what he's saying is that we can't waste any more time on them.
You're right.
But there are too many of them to force our way through.
Damn, reinforcements?
I told you already.
You're not going one step further.
This ain't good!
It keeps getting worse and worse.
We don't have any time to spare!
Damn it.
It's no good.
There's too many of them.
ED?!
Damn you, Erecpyle!
What are you doing here?
We are formally declaring that I, Erecpyle Dukakis...
...and his special operations unit, Incognito...
...have evaluated our sense of righteousness and justice,
and have decided to distance ourselves from the Ulga Religious Order's Archbishop Taulepton
and henceforth be independent!
From now on, we follow our own path.
We have finally freed ourselves from these annoying shackles!
That's right.
It's been a while, so we're not going to hold back.
We're here to support you, DT!
Erec, you're...
We'll talk later!
Incognito, attack!
Aim for the head!
Nothing else!
This is a race against time.
We'll decide this in one blow!
Aye!
Roar, my Alma Gear!
Calibre!
That's that.
I'm not saying thanks.
Make—
"Make no mistake.
I've no intention of becoming your friend.
We just so happened to share a common foe,"
is what you wanted to say, right?
How—
How did I know?
Because the lines someone like you would say here never change.
This—
"This isn't the time to argue.
Let's hurry up and get to the battlefield," is what you wanted to say, right?
We will be stopping this war.
What do you plan on doing?
We're—
We're going to put an end to the archbishop's rampage.
It would not be completely wrong to say that our goals are the same.
I guess we'll call a truce fer now.
Don't—
"Don't forget.
Our face-off will still happen
once this war is over," right?
I know.
Then let's go.
To the battlefield, to Sarisariñama!
How do you plan on stopping this war, anyway?
I don't know if I can stop it,
but I have some stuff set up to try.
Sounds like it's just a gamble.
Nobody asked you.
All this time, we've been traveling to avoid this war.
We must stop it.
No matter what.
Sir Nabokov.
All forces stand ready for battle.
Yes, our time has come!
Send word to all troops!
Attack!
The world is love and peace!
Gentlemen, what can we do for world peace?
I ask this of you, soldiers all!
Lay down your arms and cease all hostile activities immediately!
The world is love and peace.
A man called John said that, a long time ago.
What's this voice?
This is a warning.
Whoever does not heed this warning will be purged by a great power.
We ask anyone who hears this message to pass it along for the next three days.
Thank you very much.
What's happening?
Who is that?
It's understandable if you don't recognize my voice.
Allow me to explain it to you.
We are the chosen warriors of Ixion's will.
We are the Hyperion!
That's ridiculous!
They're nothing but common traitors!
Attack them!
Attack!
You fools.
To raise your hand against us is to raise it against the mighty will of Ixion.
I urge you to reconsider.
Think of the world as love and peace.
Will you obey us or not?
Is this a joke?
Do you think you can fool me so easily?
If you really are the agents of Ixion, then show us a miracle!
Ask, and ye shall receive.
Behold the power of the Hyperion!
That is what a person of Ixion would say, am I correct?
Mysty, you're up.
Got it.
Behold!
The power of Hyperion!
What's this sound?
That's...
I-Impossible!
O-Olvidia!
It's a miracle!
Does this mean that they really are the agents of Ixion?!
I don't want to do this.
Going against Ixion means going against a god.
I can't do it.
R-Run!
Idiots!
Don't mess with me!
Deserters will be shot!
Hey, somebody stop them!
Hear me?
Hey!
Hey! You!
Come back here!
Curses!
They're running with their tails between their legs!
I can almost see Jugglaburk's crying face!
Then this is our chance.
We're going to go all in!
Please wait.
What?
Our soldiers are also leaving the field in droves.
The chain of command has been broken!
What?!
The soldiers are running away.
Looks like Kon's plan was a huge success!
I didn't think it would work this well.
Trust Kon to stop an entire war just by mouthing off.
No, I'm pretty surprised that it actually worked.
Hey, hey.
This isn't the time to stand back and watch.
You're right.
We need to proceed to the next step immediately.
What do you plan on doing?
We will capitalize on this confusion
to capture both Jugglaburk and the emperor.
We are going to make them sign a peace treaty.
We'll use force if necessary.
But that means...
Your Highness?
I don't care.
I agree that it will be the quickest way to end this war.
I am greatly obliged.
I'm impressed, Hyperion.
Is that what I'm supposed to say?
We never expected them to have such power.
It seems Erec and his men are also there.
It appears they have turned to bite the hand that feeds them.
Ecarlate shouldn't have arrived there at all.
What is happening?
It is quite apparent that the Ulbrion have not done their job.
Well, that...
They were quite pathetic for new weapons that were expected to surpass the Hyperion!
Our deepest apologies.
Enough.
Even if they brought confusion to the battlefield, our plans will not change.
Almost all of the military forces of the world are here.
That's what matters.
Isn't that so?
Undoubtedly.
Shall we begin then?
Let us witness the world bow to the Ulga Religious Order with our own eyes!
The earth is trembling!
What's happening?
What is that?
A giant?
The last boss?
It's still coming!
This is the archbishop's trump card?
That's a big...
That's not big, that's ginormous!
Olvidia's...
Forezo!
Stand up! ED, stand up!
Brush away your depression and stand up again!
Not all goes as planned in life
What on Earth has happened, you ask? You know
I didn't harbor the seed of life for long before it was taken from me
It won't return, alas
I used to have an unbendable will of steel
That's the kind of straight-laced badass I was
Those days hold the glory of the past now
Far up, so very hot
Burn with fury, my sun
Stand up! ED, stand up!
Brush away your depression and go!
Stand up! Look up!
I'll write my story from page one again now, like I dreamed
The fire of my blood will continue to course through my veins
Be a giant, be a man, hell yeah!
Yay!
Next Time
The Ulga Religious Order's Archbishop Taulepton finally reveals his true ambition
and unleashes the ultra giant living weapon Forezo
to crush both Jugglaburk's and St. Piria's armies and seize the world.
What will I do?!
What will become of my DT?!
The ace up Ulga Religious Order Archbishop Taulepton's sleeve was the awe-inspiring ultra giant living weapon, Forezo...
Fo~ re~ zo~! (Sugita)
