Nearly half a century has passed since the old times.
The people have been divided into two groups.
The "Pure Race" are normal humans.
The "Nano Race" have had nanomachines placed in their genes.
The "Nano Race" have had nano machines placed in their genes.
These nano machines have given them powers.
Confident in their abilities,
people of the Nano Race become Magicicada hunters,
seeking them out in parallel worlds.
Seeking them out in parallel worlds.
Here.
The Parallel Machine acts as a bridge to the old world.
You wanna mess punk ?
Alright then. Take yours off too.
Nano on nano, then. Skill vs. skill.
He disappeared ?!
Coward !
Yeowch !
Warning ! Warning !
You are in violation of watch laws
and will be punished for use of forbidden powers.
And will be punished for use of forbidden powers.
Jeez. Again ?
Laws are so rough.
We didn't ask to be born this way.
Guess it's different for you hunters.
Gimme 3.
Scones again ?
My pal here isn't one for juicy stuff.
Get rid of those nano machines and join the Pure Race !
All for the low price of...
S-Sorry !
She's not getting away.
Are you ok ?
I'm really sorry !
Beck, let's eat.
Tyger, that's one too many.
Huh ? Is it?
This isn't gonna work.
Pull it together. It's been half a year already.
194 days.
Could you at least act like a grown up ?
C'mon, us adults need a bit more time to get over things.
We're here. We're still alive. We've got responsibilities.
You never change, huh.
It's just like Lucy always says. Just shut up and eat.
Yeah. We've gotta eat enough for her, too.
My lunch...
Hey. I'm Call. I'm 14. Nice to meetcha.
Look at our lunches !
Oh, uhh, sorry ?
There. Good as new.
Get. OUT !
Ohhh, you guys are hunters, right?
Yeah, we're waiting in the hunter line.
What else would we be ?
We should call the police.
I don't wanna...
ANGEL EARS !
Wha ?
That's my power. Should be good for finding Magicicadas.
True.
Tyger !
If she can hear their wings, that'd make things easier.
It's settled, then !
So there, now we're a team.
Says you !
That's Tyger's spot.
C'mon Beck. Let's just give her a chance.
Are you serious ?
Those Angel Ears should make our job easier.
Hooray !
Hmmm... We should have spotted her by now.
Have you lost her ?
No... She's gotta be here somewhere.
S-Stop that car !
Take her up !
Dangn!
That punk !
ANGEL EARS !
I hear something over there !
That's what you said last time and we came back empty handed.
L...just needed to warm up !
Hey, we all have our ups and downs.
That's 3 times already.
Do you really need to scream every time, too ?
Wait, don't you guys shout, too ?
Not usually, no.
It's embarrassing !
W-Well, it helps for my power !
I'm sure it'll work this time, right?
Give me a break ! This is why you don't have any girls in your team !
You've got a lady with you now, so at least act like gentlemen.
Lucy... Why'd you have to die on us ?
Lucy!!!
Lucy ?
Lucy used to be able to pick up on frequencies as high as 60,000 hertz.
Up until half a year ago we were a 3 member team.
You mean...
Her nano machines errored out and she got taken away.
We haven't seen her since.
She used to do anything for the team.
It was just her way.
There's a way to escape it.
Surgery, you mean ?
Get rid of nano machines and you never have to worry about errors.
We can still join the Pure Race.
But it's super expensive, right ?
You've got to be really famous to make that kind of money...
And your point is ?!
I'm sick of all this.
Kept under lock with this watch, told where to live, how to work.
You can't leave important stuff to people like us.
We never know when we'll error out.
Maybe you've given up already.
But me,
I'll never give up.
Is that why you became a hunter ?
It might be a dangerous line of work but...
There's someone I want to protect.
Huh ? No hunter should barge in on a claimed spot...
What the ?!
They just launched a missile at us !
A missile ?! We'll die if they hit us !
Yeah, thanks genius !
How could they do that while I'm here ?
I'd prefer the girl be left alive...
But our target is that doll of hers.
You sure are a softy. But this is war.
Take the wheel !
What about you ?
I'll get you back home safely !
I didn't ask for this, but you're one of us now !
These guys are no normal hunters !
Go take over for Call at the wheel !
You really gonna fight ?
Of course. I'm Red Ash after all !
Go get 'em.
Stop that car !
Enough!
Wanna die, kid ?
Woah, Red Ash !
No, wait...!
What are you after ? Call of your attack !
Hmph, all talk, huh ?
Why are you following us ?
We're after something that girl has !
Now just shut it and hand her over !
I'd never surrender my team.
Hmph... Well, I'm glad to have met you.
I'm more familiar with you than you know.
Safari, turn on the sprinkler !
Huh ? Right, got it !
He got away !
Red Ash is weak against water. I want him alive !
I've had enough of this ! Where are the breaks ?!
Gimme the wheel !
Tyger ! Boy I'm glad to see you !
They've got an armored car. That makes this a fair fight !
Think you can get away with that ?
So these are your true colors ? Alright then, let's go get Beck !
My my, what an unexpected weakness, Red Ash.
Looks like you can't turn to ash when wet, huh ?
Now then, time to beat you down to size.
Not so fast !
What was that ?
Beck, I'm coming !
Stay back ! These guys are after...
Gotta do anything for the team !
That's the rule, right ?
You...!
I'll be taking my friend here back now.
Well well, this makes things easier.
Jump !
Call !
What ? You still had your right hand ?
Dang it ! But don't think you've got away yet !
Safari, get us closer !
Sorry fellas ! You've got someone else to fight with now !
Alright !
Wah ! R-Relax !
How do you come up with this stuff?
Just call me creative !
Hey, we're not outta this yet !
No way !
You're not getting away !
They're catching up !
You gotta be kidding me !
Tyger, get to the Parallel Machine ! They can't pull this back home !
You got it !
Enough already !
There it is ! The Parallel Machine !
They're making a run for the Parallel Machine !
Don't worry, we won't let 'em.
Guided missile !
Let's shake 'em !
The AZ18 are our newest toy !
Hang tight !
BREAKING DRIFT !
Tyger, you're a genius !
Parallel effect ?
What ?!
What is this place ?
Our coordinates seem to be in the Amber Zone.
Isn't this area forbidden ? Why are there people here ?!
Don't ask me !
They might not even be human !
I don't even wanna know !
Is that...?
Call, this way !
Huh ? R-Right !
Over here !
What the ?!
Go for it ! We're screwed either way !
Here goes !
They're gone.
Thanks for your help.
But why...?
Why did I save you ?
No way...
Lu-Lu-Lu-Lu...
The girl from the picture !
But how...? You're dead...!
Maybe the Parallel Machine leads to heaven ?
What I mean is, there's more than one world.
But enough about that, I'm so happy to see you guys !
Yeah...
Lucy I've missed you so much !
There's more than one world...?
