The truth is...
You really want to SAVE Maya, don't you.
Maya!
What a disappointment they've turned out to be, eh Al?
We expected a much tougher opponent.
For now, I guess we'll have to call it a draw.
A child's voice...
Or should I say, "Checkmate "?
Takeshi!
Takeshi...
What is Takeshi Tomoe doing here?!
Damn!
If I use my "ARMS " against this thing, I might hurt Maya, too...
Takeshi! Look out!
What the...!?
Takeshi, we have to make a run for it!
But, Maya!
We have to regroup.
Let's jump!
But it's three stories high!
What are your fancy legs for?
Hurry!
Anchor into the wall!
Extend!
Awesome...
These guys are more of a challenge than I thought, Jeff.
They held back Takeshi Tomoe as a surprise. I thought he'd run off.
So what if they did?
I'm glad we get to play against all three.
After all, our game is all about outsmarting them.
True. Also, this way we won't have to call it a draw.
The "ARMS" are far stronger than I thought...
Their power...the way they can transform...
They're way more sophisticated than I ever imagined.
What exactly are "ARMS"?
I heard once they were developed as a defense weapon.
Actually, I glanced through a classified "ARMS" file kept in the research lab.
Simply put, "ARMS" is... a sentient metal.
Inorganic matter that holds a special feature.
It is living metal which has a volition of its own.
A living metal with its own will?
Over 70% of it is rare metal...a metal with a lifeforce of its own.
This gives "ARMS" the ability to regenerate and recharge its power.
"ARMS" analyzes the DNA of its host body and camouflages itself within the host.
However, when the core chip is activated, "ARMS" abandons its camouflage.
Within seconds, though...
the nanomachine multiplies and transforms itself, ready for combat.
Furthermore, it learns from past experiences and continues to evolve.
Evolve?!
Wh-Who would develop such a thing?!
If what you say is true, that's some serious "over" technology!
In any case, "ARMS" are still just nanomachines.
The electric shocks of Plus and Minus should be more than effective.
Hayato Shingu's "ARMS" took a blast from Plus to make it useless for a while...
leaving Ryo Takatsuki and Takeshi Tomoe.
Those two, we still have to watch.
What do you think about my idea?
Sounds good.
No way! I can't do something like that!
There's no other way to save Maya.
Stop being such a coward.
We have to be careful. The three of us have to work together.
One small mistake, and we're all dead.
We have to finish this before Hayato Shingu's "ARMS" recovers.
That's the best plan.
What are you so afraid of, Al?
It's only a game.
So what if our opponents are the products of over technology?
Their weapons are controlled by imbeciles.
And we will not lose to imbeciles... We are the invincible Chapel Twins!
They're already back.
Let's go!
They're making a run for the art room!
Jeff, wait!
Takatsuki is up to something!
The Twins certainly seem to have wreaked some havoc down there, but...
there's one thing I don't understand.
Why did the Egrigori higher ups select them to capture the "ARMS"?
They weren't selected; they volunteered.
What do you mean, Mr. Keith?
Seems you're in the dark about everything.
Those twins have more knowledge and sheer mental power than any mere adult.
They're truly frightening adolescents.
And that is why the Egrigori took them in.
Because of their intelligence, they were abandoned by their school and own parents.
In order to reintegrate them into society, we enrolled them in the Chapel Program.
But their mental capacities only continued to increase.
One after another, they began to produce...
state of the art military weaponry for the Egrigori cause.
What most impressed the Egrigori, though...
were their twin cyborgs, Plus and Minus.
Jeff...something's wrong.
Then I'll go first, Al.
Jeff!
Hey.
Wanna give me a try?
I see...Divide and conquer, is it?
Bet you worked at it.
But you forgot one thing...
I have your precious friend on my back.
If you use your "ARMS, " there's no way the girl can survive.
So tell me...
How is it you intend to fight, Ryo Takatsuki?
As if so stupid a strategy would work on me!
Oh, please...
Nothing but tricks!
Now what is...?
There!
Will you STOP it with those childish tricks?!
Aha!
What?!
How did...?
Try using your electroshock now.
A deadly electroshock attack's not much good without a way to protect yourself.
This serves an insulating function.
So if this gets close, and touches you...
your electroshock is worthless.
What of it?
It's just that much easier to get hold of you!
Now what'll you do, Ryo Takatsuki?
Takeshi...NOW!
What?!
Maya...
Maya... Maya!
Hey, where you looking at?
I told you to take me on.
She's still warm.
She's alive!
Takeshi, what're you doing?!
Hurry and run!
Why, you...Thought you'd trick me, huh?
Well, game's over!
I'm really gonna let you have it...
Just try it!
Hello, all! Look who's 70% back!
Who's next?
Hayato!
Hey, Takatsuki!
Would you quit dancing with that clown already?!
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to beat you down to a...
You WHAT?.
Still usable.
Takatsuki! Your rescue plan went like clockwork.
Well, Takeshi did his part without a hitch.
Sure did. I was gonna give him a hard time, but now there's no point.
Okay, let's go.
Not so fast, you three!
Do you really think you can escape us?
H-How did...?
They took a full on "ARMS" punch and they're still standing!
Guess we're on Plan No. 2, then.
See ya!
You imbeciles!
How dare you take us so lightly!
Fools!
Running there, of all places!
Another trick?
We NEVER fall for the same trick twice.
There!
Where...?
Where is he...?
Where are you?!
How dare you imbeciles mock me!
Please.
I'll give you my strongest electroshock yet.
Flour?
Jeff, no! Wait!
Don't use your electroshock!
The upper Egrigori echelons were shocked by those cyborgs...
Misunderstood and feeling utterly alone, the twins built them as their playmates.
Toys which they could control completely.
Toys which would never break.
Or be defeated.
Guys! Are you okay?
More or less.
Man, Takatsuki... How the heck did you build a bomb like that?
I only used some all purpose flour.
Flour?!
It's called a "soldier's bomb. "
When combustible particles are airborne, even a tiny spark can ignite, and...
Bam!
You're one dangerous guy.
My old man taught it to me years ago.
We'd used the fire extinguisher earlier, so I knew it would work.
Hey!
Wh-What's this?
He's not human.
I thought it was strange.
It's so huge, but the voice was a child's.
Meaning?
Meaning...
whoever was controlling it, is nearby.
Too bad it took you so long to realize it. No matter what tricks you come up with...
they can't possibly work on our invincible toys.
Now we're back to square one... aren't we, Takatsuki.
Can you even comprehend?
These twins, with their intelligence which far exceeds the average grown up...
have come up with a way to far exceed the power of even the strongest grown up.
It's made them invulnerable.
Now the twins have ventured out onto the real battlefield...
using their cyborgs to fulfill their missions.
And they've enjoyed it, like it was a game.
In truth, they've done well.
However, they've overstepped their bounds.
This is the world's greatest soldier, and he was built by us!
Bombs and guns don't mean a thing to him.
Then again...
Neither do you "ARMS. "
Takatsuki!
T-Takatsuki...!!
