Hey...
Where am I?
Sorry, but we need to return to let her heal.
The True Lightstone and Darkstone
That's fine. Don't push yourselves.
Ruri-chan's in more danger. Don't worry about us.
We'll let you know about any progress on our side.
Thanks for your cooperation.
We'll find Knight and bring Ojou-sama back.
Wait. Let me come, as well.
I know how you feel, but you can't.
If something happens to you,
there'd be no one to stop you.
What do you plan on doing?
I'll follow Kagami. This way, I'll be able to find Aiba, right?
I didn't think you'd go this far for her.
I get it. Without Ruri, you'll just end up causing more trouble.
Shut up!
It's me. I'm commencing pursuit.
Where's the signal from Knight's transmitter coming from?
Right now, it's passing over Mt. Oosus and heading towards Kamakura.
The signal has disappeared!
What? What were the coordinates?
It was a kilometre north of you.
Kagami-san, there's nothing here that could serve as Knight's hideout base.
It could be anything. Keep your eyes peeled.
Wait a moment.
There's an abandoned underground Japanese military base nearby.
The signal has resurfaced!
It's moving rapidly away from there!
What should I do? His hideout could be here...
Get out here, Tandoji!
You knew I was here?
Did you think that I wouldn't be able to hear you moving around?
Give me Onigawara.
We'll need some help. Onigawara can come with me.
Knight was hiding in this mountain, but then he ran away.
However, there is still the possibility that his hideout is around here.
So Knight has gone elsewhere?
That's right.
You stay here and search around.
If Knight isn't around, you won't have to worry about turning into a Darkstone.
You're just saying that to get rid of me, right?
I'll leave this in your possession.
If you find Ojou-sama, please give it to her.
What's this?
Don't lose it.
It's worth so much that you could never earn enough to repay her.
If you find anything, let me know immediately.
All right.
Aiba-san...
You're one of those people who escaped from Kenmi-san's lab.
Hey, I need to use the restroom.
Please.
Hold it.
It's impossible.
You tricked me.
It was true that I couldn't take it anymore, lying all helpless like that.
You felt it?
You are the same as me.
Where's Knight?
You didn't call out for help, so he can't be here.
Where's the exit?
There isn't one. Here, only Knight can enter and leave.
Could it be that he's holding you captive?
Knight saved me.
The humans did nothing but horrible stuff to us.
We just want to live in peace.
But why in a place like this?
I'm more scared of what's outside.
There're humans out there.
What do you mean?
Humans took my brother...
Kenmi...
...killed him.
Wait!
Hey!
That's a lie, right?
It can't be a lie.
Knight and I would never trick anyone.
If we did,
we'd be just like the humans.
There's a message from the Aiba Foundation.
Did they find Ruri-chan?
It appears that they found something that could be their hideout.
Prepare the Cyclops.
Well? Can you feel anything?
I still can't sense him.
He's still moving along the highway.
He might have transformed back and started travelling by car.
Send a message to Tandoji at once!
The transmitter has been removed!
It's no good. He's underground and out of the range of our radio signal!
We can't contact him!
It's Tandoji Alma.
Kijima Knight!
I'll tell you the truth.
Come.
Aiba-san!
Alma-san!
I'm glad you're safe!
How did you get here?
Fei!
Could it be that...?
Yes, he showed me.
I told you to stay put!
We have to quickly take her to a hospital.
It's no use.
A hospital that can properly take care of her doesn't exist.
We're not supposed to coexist with others in society.
But you can't just leave this child to suffer like this.
I'll be fine.
Don't worry.
You don't look fine at all.
You should be worrying about yourselves, instead.
What do you mean?
You don't really understand what's really going on.
You guys have been deceived by Kenmi.
But that's...
Be a little more suspicious of others.
There's more here than what you can see.
Are you saying that Kenmi-san has been hiding something from us?
Yes.
Earlier, she told me that Kenmi had killed her brother.
Is that true?
Yes.
What exactly is going on in that laboratory?!
Tell me.
People like us that have the power of the Sacred Seven...
...are being experimented on!
That's the truth.
No way...
We were held captive, stripped of our freedom, used as specimens and tortured for the sake of science.
Kenmi doesn't see those with the power of the Sacred Seven as humans.
I took Fei with me when I escaped from there.
If Kenmi were to find us, he wouldn't let us live.
No, not only Kenmi.
Any human who wants to exploit our powers...
...is our enemy!
That's absurd.
It's the truth. Accept it.
Make sure not to get in our way.
"Your way"?
Once I kill Kenmi, we'll be free.
Do just think we'll let you do that?
Tandoji Alma.
What do you fight for?
To gain back my freedom...
I'll fight!
Fei!
What the...?
Fei, are you okay?
Yes. Thanks, Ruri.
Are you okay?
Alma-san!
This feeling...
A Darkstone!
It can't be...
What?
Tandoji-kun! Ruri-chan! Are you okay?
Where are you?
Kenmi-san!
This is bad!
You... You are still alive?
Kijima.
Kenmi, you bastard.
Knight!
Fei!
Knight!
N-Nii-san?
Alma-san! Release your power!
Kijima! You're running away?
Aiba-san.
Let's get out of here.
Yes!
I will consume your memories.
And this gem...
I'll entrust it to you!
Tandoji-kun.
You saved me, Tandoji-kun.
That's what a Darkstone ends up turning into. There's no human left.
It escaped from our lab, and we've been secretly trying to recapture it.
It must have followed the scent of Kijima's Darkstone here.
Is that the truth?
Tandoji, it's no longer human.
There's no point capturing it. We have to destroy it.
But...
Let's do it! Tandoji-kun!
I understand.
It got away.
Kenmi-san!
Are you okay?
Don't worry about me, Ruri-chan.
I'm just glad I made it in time to save you.
This isn't the first time I've been hurt, after all.
Kenmi-san!
Don't worry.
More importantly, you were saying something earlier.
Did something happen?
I've been conducting human experiments on people with Sacred Seven powers?
I see. That's what they told you.
It's certainly true that our lab has been trying to understand the power of the Sacred Seven,
but we would never do anything horrible to humans.
When Kijima escaped, he hurt many people.
If you believe in him, you'll follow the same path.
I'm all better now.
Thank you, Tandoji-kun and Ruri-chan.
Be at ease. I'll always be protecting you with my life!
Who are you going to believe?
Kenmi-san or Knight?
At this moment, I think it's too hard to say.
I'll have to properly investigate this and learn what's true.
It was a bit risky to release Number 0 for this.
He can sense and follow Fei,
so I thought it would help me find her and take Kijima down at the same time,
but Kijima made contact with Ruri-chan and Tandoji-kun.
In order to keep them on our side,
I had to lie to ease their suspicions.
But really now, when Number 0 realised who Fei was,
I was surprised.
You got rid of their suspicions about us, right?
I guess it's time we bring out our trump card.
Keep watching them for now.
Understood.
Knight.
Nii-san is...
Nii-san isn't dead!
Kijima, you won't lay a hand on this one.
