Stop!
Who is that girl?!
I can't get out!
Damn it!
Eject your metal.
The safety system is still active.
I got it.
Sylia!
Sylia, pull yourself together!
Sotai...
Sotai?
Wait here.
It's not a boomer.
I hope Priss is all right.
Who's there?!
There's nobody in here, and nothing's left.
Get lost!
I can't believe I'm meeting you in a place like this.
Leon...
I wonder what the singing princess is doing here?
Also, well, it's not my business to say that it's cold in here...
Anyway, it isn't natural to be in a place like this dressed like that.
I thought it was impossible, but...
It's none of your business where I am!
The AD Police Center has announced
that the Knight Sabers are committing some sabotage here.
Sylia!
Priss...
What are you going to do now? Call your colleagues?
You look like you're not alone, don't you? Is anybody hurt?
It's none of your business, is it?
Orders are that the AD Police are not to get involved in this.
I'm here, but I'm not on duty.
Leon...
The government announced today that the abnormal shock occurring
under Tokyo was caused by the collapse of an underground cavity
created during the earthquake.
Concrete has been poured into the space, so it won't happen again.
Now, on to more news...
Sotai...
I'm glad to see you again.
Don't you remember me?
It's sad to see you being called Sotai.
You're not a golem. You're the true boomer.
You need your own name.
Galatea...
Yes, Galatea will suit you very well.
May I call you that?
Stingray didn't want to make a simple golem.
He wanted to create a new species, beyond humankind.
However, he changed sides.
He sold not only his technology to that old man, but his mind as well.
But I'm different, Galatea.
I want to dream. I have the power to dream in the present.
Give me that dream, Galatea. Make the boomers awaken.
Boomer?
Mackey...
He's just sleeping now.
He was awake a little while ago. Don't worry.
How can you say things like that?!
Mackey is...
Mackey is not an ordinary boy.
Whether he's ordinary or not, what you think of him is up to you.
For me, he's an excellent assistant,
and he's not a boomer.
You know that very well, don't you?
But Mackey is...
Not a human being either.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to make you worry about me.
I was told not to go there,
but I couldn't control myself.
Who is that girl who was called Sotai?
She's the same as I am. We're Sylia's younger brother and sister.
More accurately, you are part of Sylia's body, separated from her.
In the Wiz Lab, we called them dopplegangers.
Clones?
No, that's not it.
When Sylia was young, her father implanted a mechanism within her.
It had been copied by synapse conduction from a human brain,
and it integrated itself into Sylia's brain.
It didn't happen in anybody else.
Only Sylia's body did not reject the nano-mechanism.
Of course not!
It was created by copying her mother's Corpus Pineale.
What? A father... a human shouldn't do things like that.
However, that is what allowed my birth,
even though I am a doppleganger.
Even though I don't grow and am not exactly a human being.
Anyway, the one born earlier was the Sotai.
She is the archetype of all current boomers.
Mackey was too close to a human being.
That's why he was abandoned.
I can't believe she's alive. I thought the earthquake buried her.
Why?
How horrible! How many people died in that earthquake?!
If all the others were anything like her,
causing the earthquake was by far the lesser of two evils.
Both number four and number five barriers have been breached!
Main control is... What the hell is this?!
The Sotai is about to go up to the surface!
We have to stop it! If this phenomenon affects the outside,
humans will be finished!
Oh no, we can't stop it!
What is this light?
What the hell is going on?
What the hell is happening in the Wiz Lab?!
What the hell did Stingray do?!
He was not able to control the Sotai Phenomenon.
I should say he didn't have the talent to do so.
I don't want to hear criticism.
What are you going to do?
What shall we do?
The only thing we can do is to seal it with the whole Wiz Lab.
How?
The earthquake weapon developed by Genom's military division
has been completed, hasn't it?
There is no other way, is there?
The person who needs to decide that is you, Mr. Chairman.
Come with me.
You should have stayed in your room, you bad girl.
Get in.
Please, please go inside.
I wanted to be with you until you are old enough to understand me.
This is some kind of mistake! I haven't created you to...
to let you do things like this!
The phenomenon's existence had not been revealed
to lower class technical people like me.
I'm the only one still alive who served at the Wiz Lab.
Nene...
You understand why Sylia hates out of control boomers, don't you?
I went out of control too.
That was fun. It was just a short while,
but I was able to be with Priss, Linna, and you, Nene.
What are you talking about?
I shouldn't have come here,
but I really wanted to see her.
I believed that I wanted to come here to see Sylia.
I was wrong. The other one was what lead me to come here.
Because she wanted to get out of there.
I shouldn't exist anywhere, should I?
What the hell are you talking about?!
There isn't a person...
There isn't a person anywhere who shouldn't exist.
Person...
Mackey is Mackey!
Nene...
You aren't going to see Sylia, are you?
I guess Nene went to see Mackey.
Hey, are you listening to me?
None of my business.
Why are you worrying about things like that?
Is Sylia your friend? Is Nene your younger sister?
We were simply people who worked together. That's it.
We were?
We're through, aren't we?
Through? Do you mean you're quitting the Knight Sabers?!
Are you saying you won't wear your hard suit anymore?
Hard suit?!
Do you really think we'll be able to put them on or something?!
Well, those aren't wearable anymore, but...
I'm sure Nigel will make new ones.
I won't wear one ever again.
Why?
I've been thinking for a long time.
Why did our hard suits stop, and why did we lose control that time?
It happened after the Sotai appeared.
The first ones to go out of control were the boomers.
Then after that, our hard suits went out.
Those bastards from Genom,
real human beings were the only ones not being affected at all.
The ones that went out of control were boomers!
Wait a second. You mean... You mean our hard suits are...
They're boomers.
It can't be!
Both Nigel and Mackey have known about it.
Only we didn't know the facts.
I see. I didn't think our hard suits were ordinary powered armor.
However, if they're boomers, they have to have a core in them.
Where is it?
It's got to be buried somewhere.
I understand now.
Did you come here to arrest us?
Currently, I'm off duty.
I came here just because there might be a live show tonight.
Eavesdropping is the lowest thing you could do.
You weren't exactly whispering, either of you.
Priss, who is this man?
A frontline officer of the AD Police.
You're the other one!
Your suit looks good. I remember your body line very well.
You jerk!
Priss!
It can't all be over! I won't accept this!
It's... How can I say it? It's not good that...
Shall we ride?
You didn't tell anyone about the other day, did you?
At the tunnel? I told you that I shouldn't have been there.
There's no way that I'd be able to report you.
I thought you hated the Knight Sabers?
You're right, because they were making fools of us.
Can I ask you the same question? Why do you hate the AD Police?
No reason really,
but I get sick just looking at the outfit of the frontline officers.
I don't really understand, but I apologize anyway. Sorry.
Your apologizing doesn't help.
Then please don't be so hard on me.
You know, I'm the kind of man
you don't understand unless you have a deep relationship with me.
Idiot.
Your team is going to break up, isn't it?
Oh, sorry, that's too personal.
Anyway, it's too bad, isn't it?
We lose our rival, and it's hard to stay enthused about our work.
It's about time. The government, the AD Police, Genom,
everyone tries to hide the facts,
but people have begun to realize that boomers can become insane.
The number of mad boomers is increasing rapidly,
so it's impossible to deal with them by ourselves.
In my company, we call it the AD Police in the outside world,
something is disturbing the top management.
The director seems like he's hiding something.
Sotai is in there.
Sotai?
I don't have anything to do with it anymore.
Well...
This area is a no parking zone.
Violation of traffic regulations, section 241 ...
You jerk! Don't disturb our date!
Go away! Get the hell out of here! Idiot!
I'm so sorry, Officer Leon!
That was an abuse of your authority, wasn't it?
How beautiful your eyes are.
Why can't I put things in a nicer way?
That might be the reason I'm not good at dealing with women.
Hey, what's the matter?
What's wrong with you?! Priss!
What's wrong with you two?!
What is this?
Sylia...
What is this? Why am I seeing things like this?
Sylia?!
Sylia!
No, stop this!
I'm so scared.
The mysterious vision which suddenly appeared in our minds
doesn't make any sense.
But unbelievably, it was Sylia's secret memory.
We rush to Sylia's place
and find she is suffering from a resonance with the Sotai.
Then Sylia tells us another story of the Knight Sabers' past.
Next Bubblegum Crisis!
