I can't believe you paid 16 million yen just for that.
No, I need these gems to fully awaken Alma-san's power, to fight the Darkstones.
You'll be bankrupt at this rate.
It's fine.
Even so, this will help rid the Darkstones from the world.
If you want to get rid of them all, that includes me.
You don't have enough power to mean any harm, right?
So it's not even worth it to destroy me, huh?
Anyway, enough about me.
But Alma also is a Darkstone.
If you want to get rid of them, won't you have to take him out, too?
That's..
What's with this feeling?
This is Kagami.
We are still on the highway.
We will arrive at the mansion in 20 minutes.
Understood.
Isn't all of this a bit too much?
No, no. I am thankful for the Aiba family's special escort.
Truly.
We've been attacked. Dispatch the helicopter.
Understood.
So he came after all.
Let's see what this thing can do.
What's with this guy's power?
This guy is...
You've got to be kidding me.
Kenmi.
I'll get rid of you for good.
Be gone!
Kenmi-san!
It's coming from over here...
Such a strong feeling...
What's that?
This aura...
That guy...
...is the same as me.
Did we finish him?
No, I lost him.
On the other hand, this guy's Darkstone aura intrigues me.
How are you feeling?
Where am I?
This is Ruri-sama's mansion.
Alma-san!
Welcome back, Ojou-sama.
Are you all right?
Yes, it's nothing, really.
Thank goodness.
When I wasn't there, something like this happened...
No, it's not your fault.
Ojou-sama, Professor Kenmi is awaiting your audience.
It's been a while.
You've become quite beautiful, Ruri-chan.
I'm aware that there was trouble, but I'm relieved you are safe.
That's thanks to Kagami-kun's assistance.
Pleased to be at your service.
You've come here to ask something of me?
Yes.
Let's cut to the chase.
Kijima Knight and Lau Feizoi have escaped from my research base.
Today's incident was caused by this boy, Kijima Knight.
Kagami said that you were attacked by a Darkstone.
Yes.
That boy has been committing selfish deeds by exploiting the power of the Sacred Seven.
We tried to cure him at our correctional facility, but he was stubborn and rebellious.
He holds a grudge against me for restricting him of his freedom.
Would you mind helping us out?
We can capture those two with the help of you and Tandoji-kun.
Have you researched us?
Yes.
You won't use the power of the Sacred Seven for selfish reasons, right?
That's the belief we try to follow.
If that's the case, then I would greatly appreciate your help.
Kijima is taking medication to keep his Darkstone powers from permanently taking over his body.
Very soon though, that will run out.
He will certainly come to steal more.
When he does, he'll certainly try to kill me, like he did earlier.
Even still, I want to take him back peacefully.
It's for his own good.
Knight!
Knight, I'm going to give you an injection.
I'm sorry. Are you all right, Fei?
I'm more worried about you.
Soon, we'll run out of medication.
Yeah, we'll need to refill our inventory.
Hey, take me with you next time.
Where did that come from?
You want to destroy Kenmi, right?
You need to stay here.
Why? I can fight, too!
That won't work.
You aren't suited for fighting.
Kenmi won't be taken down so easily.
We need to come up with something.
As I was fighting Kenmi, I found another interesting person.
That aura...
...was the same as the high-level power of the Sacred Seven.
Kijima Knight?
So there are other humans who hold the power of the Sacred Seven?
Yes, there have been a few confirmed worldwide.
Except for you and me, they are all under a special organisation.
Organisation?
The Sacred Seven hold a frightening amount of power.
They could make a person a god or a demon.
That's why we have to ensure that they aren't used for evil purposes.
That's what the organisation strives to maintain.
To be a god or a demon...
I can see what you mean by a demon.
But what about a god?
That guy...
...is the same as me.
Just what exactly does this power mean?
At least...
When I'm around, no one shall call you a demon.
We are heading to Professor Kenmi's residence.
Please enter the car, Tandoji.
I understand.
At this facility, there are several kinds of research being conducted on the Sacred Seven for the benefit of mankind.
There are even some projects ready for practical use.
It's just that...
There's still a large amount about the Sacred Seven that we have yet to understand.
If we abuse these powers, we would put ourselves in danger.
Well, I'm sure you already understand that pretty well.
Now, then. Let's hold a small meeting.
Are you really sure that Kijima Knight is coming?
My calculations show a 95% chance that he'll come.
Yes, tonight.
Do you think you'll be able to capture him?
It'll be difficult.
You know how powerful he is.
He seems to get stronger as the days go by.
The Medusa incident, as well as the US freight transport,
were both his doing.
Are you sure of that?
Yes.
As a Darkstone, he's unstoppable.
If he becomes a permanent Darkstone,
he'll lose his sense of reason, and never be able to return to his human self.
We must capture those two before that happens.
I hope you understand the gravity of this.
There's one thing I'd like to know.
Has anyone ever returned to their original existence after being a Darkstone?
I'm afraid that cannot be revealed to you.
I cannot violate our privacy agreement.
However, Tandoji-kun, there is a possibility...
...that you may never return after transforming into a Darkstone.
C'mon, already! Then you'll end up like me...
I don't want that.
So what do you need us to do?
Well, you'll be assisting the security guards.
I'd like to help, but my armour is still being repaired from the last fight.
Kagami-kun will be on the roof.
Ruri-chan and Tandoji-kun will stay close to me, as guards.
As for the medication,
it will be handled by my SP.
Note: SP stands for Security Personnel.
Kagami-san.
Just a little more and the preparations will be complete.
Take off the power limiters.
Understood.
I don't think it will help, though...
You're getting that out already... Are you that anxious for action?
We must be prepared for anything.
Don't put it there!
I'll want to eat it!
It would destroy your stomach.
I like the fun "toy" you have.
I'm not a toy!
I'd take your hand and smash it to pieces.
Enough of that, Onigawara.
How are things? Any sign of the Darkstone?
Nothing at all.
I see. Keep your eyes peeled.
You, too.
There are more of them, now.
But to get what I need to stay alive, I have to get past them.
He's here! He's here!
Alma-san.
I sense his power. There's no mistaking it.
Let's go.
I will consume your memories.
And this gem...
I'll entrust it to you!
For now, I'm ready for anything.
I don't have time to deal with you guys.
The Darkstone has appeared. Currently engaging.
The trash is back in the incinerator.
Activate level 5.
Roger.
It's him!
You missed a spot.
I'll incinerate it.
Damn.
It's time to turn up the heat!
You think you're better off in water, don't you?
We also have high voltage on the menu.
Is this really a "special" opportunity?
Transform.
Kenmi's bitch, huh?
As I thought...
Well, whatever.
It's gone?
He's coming! He's coming!
Give up already, Kijima-kun.
There's no way I'll let you live.
Get out of my way.
You are...
So that is your true form.
That girl...
...is a Lightstone, right?
Kijima Knight!
Quit causing trouble.
Damn.
Give me the power to pass through objects!
Wait up.
Are you really the one responsible for all of the Darkstone attacks?
I understand what you are thinking.
We're all meant to be free.
This power doesn't belong to anyone.
If your freedom were taken away, it's like taking away any meaning to life.
He's better than I thought.
They're cheating.
My favourite ear's gone.
This sucks.
Damn.
Let go!
I couldn't get it this time,
but I think I've found something else instead.
