Today, the Tokyo Justice Department's Special Investigations Branch
began an investigation of the Aiba Foundation
due to serious allegations of tax evasion.
At this rate, the investigation will reach the foundation's CEO, Ruri Aiba.
It's some kind of trap.
Someone is trying to take down the Foundation.
I'm already seeing activity from tax authorities and foreign accounts.
This must have been planned out very carefully.
First, we have to handle the false accusations of—
My lady!
All of our dummy accounts are being shut down one by one!
At least make sure we keep enough to pay out!
Even if we lose the Foundation, I want everyone to be provided for!
Who are you? What are you doing here?
Ms. Ruri Aiba?
We have a warrant for your arrest
on charges of embezzling Foundation funds for personal use.
kawaridashita negai no kakera
The shards of wishes begin to change
kaze ni sakebi tatakau kagayaki wa koko ni aru
The light that howls against the wind is right here
wasureteita atatakasa ni narenai egao wa
You smile, still not used to the kindness you once forgot
kasukana mirai wo nozomu kibou terashite
Still it lights hope for the far-off future like a beacon
mezameru kanjou imi wo shireba itami ga afureru
When you understand the feelings awakening in you, the pain will burst forth
kizuita itoshisa nakusu kowasa daita
And you hold onto the fear of losing those things precious to you
karamitsuku tomadoi wa kimi no omoi ni tokareteyuku
But those feelings will unchain you from the confusion that binds you
kawaridashita toki no kakera
The shards of time begin to change
kimi ga kureta kagirinai tsuyosa wo kanjite
I feel the boundless energy you give me
mune no kizuna nagareru ishi to
Our wills flow between our hearts
kaze ni sakebi tatakau kagayaki wa koko ni aru
and the light that howls against the wind is right here
The chairman of the Aiba Academy board, Aiba Ruri,
A Blade Sharpened
is the prime suspect in this case and has been placed under arrest.
Hey, you can't say that about our chairman!
You loons are the problem with the media today!
Chill out. You're not helping.
But I can't stand to hear to them say that!
Ruri and Kagami are such good people.
How could this happen?
Tandoji!
I can't sit still and take this.
I don't know what I can even do, but...
Wakana?
Come with me.
How'd you know about this place, Wakana?
What now?
Hey, it's Kagami.
Oh my god, that suit! It's so—
Shh!
Where the hell have you been?
Tandoji!
I've been busy myself, you know.
I can't explain right now.
Follow me.
Wait!
If you see Ruri, tell her...
Tell her we're behind her.
And we'll be waiting for her to come back.
Got it.
She means we really need her to come back.
Or else it's goodbye Rock Club!
They managed to search the grounds.
Not only did they take away Miss Aoi,
but we can't get anywhere near the mansion.
What happened to the maids?
Arrested, every one.
Seriously?
It's to minimize the damage.
I can handle it from out here.
You think you can handle all this by yourself?
Keep your voice down!
What are you getting so angry for?
I'm not getting angry about anything!
Kenmi's men!
Good morning, lady.
I see you're already awake.
You'll wish you'd stayed asleep, though.
What is this?
Are you familiar with the Aztecs' ritual sacrifices, Ruri?
Goddammit! Let go of me! Let go!
I said let go already!
Two targets captured.
Look! A schoolgirl's underwear!
Hellbrick?
I ran like hell to save you!
Don't move!
Hands in the air!
Just you to go.
Drop your gun.
We're done here.
Don't forget I had a hella important job!
How did you...
You have no idea how rough it was to sneak all this stuff out
from under the polices' noses.
Mission accomplished.
We also got the Engagement Suit all ready for you.
I thought you were all laid off.
We sure were! We're doing this because we want to!
And since we aren't Aiba employees anymore,
we don't have to listen to you!
We want to save our lady just like you!
We've done this much! Let us fight with you!
What do you say?
I'm surrounded by idiots...
You!
Knight's gone to take out Kenmi!
Aren't you going to save Ruri?
Take me with you!
The Aztecs were the most magnificent empire of their time.
They attacked other civilizations, and took the hearts of thousands of prisoners of war.
The Aztecs knew, you see...
That the hearts of these warriors were blessed by the sun...
...by the energy that falls from the heavens held vast power.
These were the Sacred Seven Cores.
What better to offer as a sacrifice to the mighty gods?
And in exchange, they were granted tremendous might!
Mr. Kenmi, what are you talking about?
What does that mean?
I'll be taking your heart.
And with the power I gain, I will take my place among the gods!
No! Don't! Stay away!
Come save me, Arma!
Mr. Kenmi!
Kenmi's been planning to take down the Foundation
and become the sole controller of the Seven's powers from the start.
What's his plan?
I don't know.
But I know he doesn't think of us as human beings.
Ruri is in serious trouble.
Knight Kijima's fighting works out for us.
Let's take this chance to confuse the enemy.
Roger!
Hell yeah!
Tandoji. Split up from us and save the lady.
Got it.
I might be able to help you get around the facility.
Even find Ruri, maybe.
It's going to be dangerous in there.
I know that!
But I want to save my brother!
Prepare the Cyclops.
But that could destroy Ruri Aiba and her core!
Cores aren't that fragile.
Her body could crumble to dust, but the core wouldn't even be scratched.
Now hurry!
What was that?
Knight's penetrated into the facility!
We have a reading by the lake that looks like a transport trailer!
They're doing exactly as predicted.
Time to get to work.
And release Zero, too.
He's just what this needs to be really interesting.
That Knight's trying way the hell too hard.
At this rate he's sure as hell gonna go full Darkstone.
Aw hell yeah!
I've got this! Go!
This way!
It goes to an underground passage!
Please be safe.
Brother!
Get out of here!
Is that...?
What's my mom's pendant doing here?
What's the matter with you?
You're cramping my style. Go away.
Honyu, you'll finally rest in peace.
Knight! Don't!
What are you doing here?
That's my brother!
Let him go. Hon's human side is gone.
Better lay him to rest than let Kenmi use him like this.
I brought the serum!
I can save him!
Knight, please!
Let me go! No!
Don't touch Fei! Don't touch her!
Hon...
We've only got one shot at this.
Oh hell!
I feel... uneasy...
Please be okay!
Ms. Aiba!
She...
Oh god, no...
Ms. Aiba!
The reaction just keeps getting stronger.
Soon, she'll be gone for good.
No! Come back, Ms. Aiba!
Please! Hear my voice!
Take...
...my will!
Pretty!
There's another one over there!
This pendant was cut from Sacred Seven ore.
It can keep the power from going out of control.
I hope it can give the children a peaceful future.
Watch out!
Oh yeah...
That was...
the first time I...
How did I forget that?
All this time...
I'm sorry, Ms. Aiba.
Arma?
Isn't that your...
I'm so sorry!
Looks like we're even.
All those years ago, I took your mom's keepsake.
Now I've paid you back.
But...
I don't need the pendant anymore.
I've got you.
This is amazing!
You two have been developing powers I could never have dreamed of!
Wonderful!
Fei! Now!
Come back to me, Hon!
I was right to pick you, Arma Tandoji.
When you first became a Darkstone three years ago,
you showed that without your limiter, you had incredible power.
Yet you never tried to use your power since then.
I did you the favor of getting rid of your limiter,
yet you held back your Seven powers of your own free will.
So I had to try all kinds of things to make you go berserk!
To force you to unleash the purest Seven energy you can!
So everything that happened so far...
You did all of that?
Yes. It was all my doing.
Brother!
Don't touch her!
Brother!
Don't touch her!
And now the power you've been cultivating will be mine—
Honyu!
Don't touch her!
Fei!
Don't touch her! Don't touch her! Don't touch her!
Hon!
Brother!
Brother...
Brother!
Good evening, my young hoodlums.
Your brother left me something delightful...
as a gift!
It's so beautiful!
I shall finally take my place among the gods!
This is incredible!
Ultimate power!
A fitting body for the new ruler of the world!
I'm invincible!
This is what it feels like to be invincible!
