Even as we speak, the world is moving towards destruction.
You must do something quickly.
That's easy for you to say, Flora-chan.
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 a technology lost to us now.
You can't go there.
A lost technology, huh?
This is my world's highest form of technology.
There's something I want to ask of you, using these and Alma Gear.
What are you planning to do?
I've got an idea.
Hurry!
We don't have a second to lose!
We've got a mission! It's 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 got a chronically sedentary lifestyle and I'm not good 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.
You're so pathetic.
Says the guy who just has to wait around for a shoulder to sit on.
How could you possibly understand this crippling pain in my side?!
I wanna ride on someone's shoulder, too!
Sainglain, I want you to tie Kon's legs together with rope and drag him along.
I'm not a log!
Please don't do stuff like that!
I'd be ripped to pieces before we even got to 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 answering the question of who the hell are you?!
If you keep answering a question with a question,
eventually, you will kill all conversation in the universe!
I am very sorry, but I cannot let you go any further.
Please do not get angry with me.
It's no 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 some choir or something!
They are Ulbrion.
Artificial Hyperion created
with the science and secrets of our Ulga Sorority.
Their agility can block out any light,
and their strike will topple the very mountains!
Ulbrion, you say?
Couldn't you have worked on them and their name a little more?
'Cause no offense,
but whatever they're supposed to be, it looks like you failed pretty hard.
It seems like they made the name by combining
the "Ul" from the name of their sorority, and the "rion" from Hyperion.
I can't make more sense of it than that.
All right, but where did the "b" come from?
What is the "b" supposed to mean?!
Enough from you.
For the first time, he engages us in conversation!
Though it looks like we've kind of hurt his feelings.
I think we've been standing around here long enough, though.
Come on, old guy.
Give him what you've got.
My pleasure!
May I ask you to wait one moment?
Is there any reason to go "kukuku" before you say that?
Ulbrion!
Prepare to attack.
I don't even know what to start laughing at.
What the...?
They're different now.
We of the Ulga Sorority
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.
So we thought about that.
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.
Nabokov-sama, 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 Sorority.
One could say that our victory is assured.
Exactly.
The curtain is rising. 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.
Just to delay us.
Old guy!
What?
These guys are only trying to buy some time!
What?
They're only here to keep us from getting over to Sarisariñama!
You've 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 Sorority,
into the hands of our archbishop!
What the hell is that?
You're like some 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 Sorority 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 the power to stop our destiny.
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...
...after evaluating our sense of righteousness and justice,
have decided to distance ourselves from the aims of the Ulga Sorority's
Archbishop Taulepton and henceforth be independent!
From now on, we follow our own path.
We finally got rid of our 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!
It's done.
I'm not saying thanks.
Make...
"Make no mistake."
"I've no intention of becoming your friend."
"It just happened to be that we shared a common enemy,"
is what you wanted to say, right?
How...
How did I know?
Because the lines someone like you says
are always the same.
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.
Saying that our goals are the same would not be completely wrong.
So I guess we'll have a temporary truce.
Don't...
"Don't forget."
"Our face-off will still happen
once this war is over," is what you were going to say.
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've done a little preparation for it.
So I guess it's just a gamble.
None of your business.
All this time, we've been traveling to avoid this war.
We must stop it.
No matter what.
Nabokov-sama.
All forces stand ready for battle.
Yes, our time has come!
Send word to all troops!
Attack!
The world is love and peace!
I'd like to ask you all, what can we do for world peace?
To this end, I am speaking to all you soldiers.
Lay down your arms right now and cease all hostile activities at once.
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 today to pass it along
in the next three days to anyone who hasn't.
Thank you very much.
What's happening?
Who is that?
It's understandable if you don't recognize my voice.
So let me explain 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.
Raising your hand against us and
raising your hand against the mighty will of Ixion is one and the same.
I urge you to think about it again.
Think about 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!
As you wish.
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.
Run!
Idiots!
Don't mess with me!
Deserters will be shot!
Hey! Somebody stop them.
Are you listening to 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 a 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 that 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.
So that means they have turned their blades against us.
Ecarlate shouldn't have arrived there at all.
What is happening?
This means the Ulbrion did not function.
Well, that...
The new weapon that was supposed to surpass the Hyperion, pathetic!
Our deepest apologies.
That's fine.
Even if they brought confusion to the battlefield,
our plans will not change.
Almost all of the military forces of the world are here.
And that's what matters.
Isn't that so?
Undoubtedly.
Shall we begin then?
Let us witness the world bow to the Ulga Sorority with our own eyes!
The earth is trembling!
What is happening?
What's that?
A giant?
The last boss?
No, not yet!
This is the archbishop's trump card?
That's a big...
It's not big, it's too big!
Olvidia's...
Forezo!
Next Time
The Ulga sorority'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 to seize the world.
What will I do?!
What's going to happen to my DT?!
The ace up Ulga Sorority's Archbishop Taulepton's sleeve was the
awe-inspiring ultra giant living weapon, Forezo...
Fo~ re~
zo~! (Sugita)
