Today, the Tokyo District Special Investigations Justice Bureau began audits on the Aiba Foundation...
...from allegations of enormous tax evasion.
At the current rate of progression, an interrogation of the CEO, Aiba Ruri, is expected soon.
At this time, we have no comment.
Please send the records from the London branch.
Yes, this is a trap.
Someone is trying to take down the Aiba Foundation.
We're looking into activity from tax authorities as well as multiple foreign funds.
This appears to be a very carefully planned attack.
In any case, these outrageous allegations must-
Ojou-sama!
Our foreign accounts are being frozen one by one.
Do whatever you can to at least secure enough funds to pay for employment!
If at worst we lose the foundation, at lease everyone can maintain their lives!
Who are you people?
Aiba Ruri-san, we have a warrant for your arrest.
You're being charged with embezzling Aiba Foundation funds for personal use.
Chairman of the Aiba Academy Board, Aiba Ruri, has just been arrested as a suspected criminal in this case.
A Sharpened Blade
Don't joke with us!
Don't say such things about our chairman!
Idiots! Scoundrels! You're all stupid!
Calm down. That won't solve anything.
But what they're saying is unfair.
Ruri-chan and Kagami-kun have both been working so hard.
How could this happen?
Tandoji-kun!
I can't sit and let things stand like this.
I don't know if I'm able to do anything about this, though.
Wakana?
Come with me.
My breasts...
Wakana, I'm surprised you know of a place like this.
Now, then.
Oh, Kagami-kun!
That outfit is amazing!
Where have you been this whole time?!
Tandoji-kun!
I've been busy, myself.
I can't explain anything to you here.
Follow me.
Wait!
If you see Ruri-chan, tell her this:
We all believe in her.
We believe in her and await her return.
Got it.
More like, if we get in trouble, we'll really need her to return.
If the Crystal Club goes under, we'll be in trouble.
During their raid of the mansion, they took also away Aoi-sama.
What's more, we can't get near the mansion at all.
Where are the maids?
They've been relieved of their duties.
What?
It's to minimise the damage.
Later, I'll somehow-
You?
With such a big calamity, do you think you can take care of it all by yourself?
Don't shout out so loudly.
Why are you getting so worked up?
I'm not getting worked up!
It's Kenmi's corps.
Hey there.
It seems you've already woken up.
If you had only remained in your slumber,
you would have ended up a lot happier.
This is...
Ruri-chan, are you familiar with the Aztec's human sacrifices?
Damn, let go of me! Let go!
Let go of me, already!
The two targets have been secured.
It's a schoolgirl's underwear!
Onigawara?
Hey, I've come to save you.
Don't move.
Now, raise your hands.
You're the last one left.
Drop your weapon.
Hold up!
Hey, don't forget how much I helped!
You guys...
It was quite difficult.
When the police weren't looking, we had to grab all this stuff.
Maid rescue complete.
The Engagement Suit preparations have been completed.
But I relieved all of you of your duties.
You no longer have to do anything for the Aiba Foundation.
Yeah.
However, we're doing this by our own choice.
Since we're no longer Aiba employees, we don't have to obey your orders!
We want to help save our Ojou-sama.
Since we've made it this far, please assist us until the end.
What do you say?
You're all a bunch of fools.
You are...
Knight has gone after Kenmi.
You want to save Ruri-san, right?
Please take me with you!
The great Aztec empire controlled Central America.
They continuously waged wars and gouged the hearts from thousands of prisoners of war.
They knew very well...
...that those warriors, who were blessed by the sun, held a power in their hearts.
An amazing power, which descended from the heavens.
It was a Sacred Core.
That power was the highest sacrifice one could offer to the gods.
In exchange, they were blessed with tremendous power.
Hey, what kind of talk is this?
Kenmi-san, what are your intentions?
With your heart, I'll be able to take my place among the gods.
No!
Stop it!
Save me, Alma-san!
Kenmi-san!
Ever since he began his plans to take down the Aiba Foundation,
Kenmi's objective has been to gain the power of the Sacred Seven.
What is Kenmi going to do after that?
That's all I know.
But he doesn't see any of us as humans.
At this rate, Ruri-san will probably...
Since Kijima Knight will be fighting, he'll be helping us as well.
We should take this opportunity and create a distraction.
Understood!
Tandoji!
Save Ojou-sama during the confusion.
Got it.
I can help you a bit in navigating the facility.
We can probably find where Ruri is.
When we're inside, anything could happ-
I know.
But I want to save my brother!
Get the Cyclops ready.
But if we do that, we might destroy Aiba Ruri's body and the core along with it!
The core isn't that fragile.
Even if her body is completely obliterated, the core won't have a single scratch.
Now get to it!
Yes!
What?
Knight has penetrated the facility.
A transport trailer has been detected near the lake!
They're doing exactly what we predicted.
Work time.
And release Zero as well.
He'll be the finishing touch.
Knight has really gone all out.
If he continues this as a Darkstone, he won't be able to revert back to normal.
Leave this to me!
This way.
There's a shorter way here.
Be safe.
Nii-san!
Get out of here!
This is...
Why is my mother's pendant here?
What are you doing?
Don't get in my way. Leave!
Hung Yuk, rest in peace!
Knight, stop!
Why are you here?
For my brother.
Give it up already.
Hung can't return to human any more.
We need to put him to rest before Kenmi exploits him further.
I brought the serum!
I can use it on my brother.
Please, Knight!
No, let me go! No!
Don't touch her!
Don't touch, Fei!
Hung...
We only have one chance.
Yeah.
This feeling is making me uneasy.
Please be safe!
Aiba-san!
This is...
No way!
Aiba-san!
Hey now.
Her reaction just won't stop.
If this keeps up, Ruri-chan won't be coming back.
That can't happen!
Come back already, Aiba-san!
I beg you; hear my voice!
My soul...
Take it!
How pretty!
There's another one!
This pendant was cut from a raw Sacred Seven stone.
It enables one to control his or her powers.
With this, I hope it can give the children a peaceful future.
Watch out!
That's right.
At that time, it all started.
How could I have forgotten...
...such an important thing?
I'm sorry, Aiba-san.
Alma-san?
That can't be!
It's my fault!
This way, we're even.
Since the beginning, I was using your mother's keepsake for myself.
That's why it's fine now.
But...
I no longer have a need for this pendant...
...since you're here.
I understand now.
The two of you together hold a power much greater than I expected.
Wonderful!
Fei, now!
Please, Hung-niisan!
I guess my instincts about you were correct, Tandoji Alma-kun.
When you first transformed into a Darkstone three years ago,
the limiter was taken away, and you first showed your immense power.
However, you've never tried to use your powers since then.
Even though you had the limiter removed,
you held back your Sacred Seven powers by your own will.
That's why I exposed you to so many different situations.
I tried to see how far you could go...
...and unleash the beautiful Sacred Seven power...
...to raise the magnitude of its purity higher than ever!
Could it be that you caused all of those events?
Yes, everything was because of me.
Nii-san!
Don't touch her!
Nii-san!
Don't touch her!
Now, then...
Give me the energy between you two so-
Hung Yuk!
Don't touch her!
Fei!
Don't touch her!
Hung!
Nii-san!
Nii-san...
Hung-niisan!
Welcome back.
Your brother left a wonderful gift...
...for me!
So beautiful!
With this, I can take my place among the gods, too!
Incredible!
This is the best!
My whole body is delighted to have reached such a capacity!
I'm invincible.
This is the feeling of invincibility!
Sacred Seven
