What's wrong?
There's no...such thing...as God.
I just found him...the other day. Somebody had...abandoned him.
But Mommy said I couldn't keep him, so...everyday I was gonna...
bring him food, but...
But then...but then, he...
He got hit by a car.
Wh-Who're you?
C'mon.
He's the...first friend I ever made. There can't be a God.
Sure there is.
He must be somewhere...God.
Ever since...
Ryo's been my first, true friend.
Here, you will find the truth...
and also, proof of our sins.
Wh-What the hell are!?
They're Arms.
What?!
Arms were implanted, yet failed. These are those failed experiments.
As I understand it, Arms is metal that acts like living cells...
robots with "micron time" precision.
When such nanomachines are fashioned as bio implants...
they decipher genetic coding and...
are thus able to use that data to camouflage and sustain themselves.
Arms definitely do maintain a delicate balance with the host body.
That balance, though, is as frail and finely spun as a spider's web.
These people could not handle its complexities.
Those bastard Egregori did it!
These horrible experiments!
The Egregori certainly have spent years in research and development.
But those who began the Abumisawa Experiment are not Egregori.
They're an archrival...the Blue Men.
Egregori archrival!?
How else to oppose...
such an all powerful group?
Like the Egregori, they too studied the human genome here.
It was they who found the special gene which can coexist with Arms.
Those humans who carried this special gene, they tried to reproduce.
And then, seventeen years ago, four healthy carriers were born.
That's right.
This is where you were all born...
and then, implanted with Arms.
As for the name of the Blue Men official who supervised here...?
Shuichiro Shingu.
Yes, Hayato. The man you called your father.
Now I know you're insane...
Us, born in this psycho place!?
I don't believe it...I won't!
Then what about MY mom... and MY dad?
Who were THEY...!?
I don't... I can't...
Does that mean...you're not you?
Dr. Katz!
Something's wrong...
We're cut off from outside.
And our signals are being jammed.
What!?
Doctor!
Your little rebellion's been upstaged.
That voice... Section Chief Yamano!
We went ahead and contacted HQ...
but it seems they were already on it.
The village is completely surrounded by Egregori troops.
What!?
Dr. Katz...
You'll pay for this...with your death!
We're gonna wipe Abumisawa off the map...
along with the villagers, the Arms, and you!
HQ reacted more quickly than I anticipated.
And now I've involved all of you.
Don't kid yourself.
Our bodies belong to us.
As for my heart...
that belongs to me, too.
I'm still me no matter what you say!
I make my own fate, not you!
And I sure as hell don't plan to die 'cause you tell me to!!
All troops, this is Keith Red.
Burn down Abumisawa Village and leave no one alive.
I repeat... Burn Abumisawa to the ground.
Gasher!
Bee! You're alive.
More 'r less.
Face, though...
Can't be helped.
I figured he might.
Still...
Don't you sense something strange in the air...?
You mean...?
Yes... The smell of battle.
Flight commander to all fighters...
Proceed to target, according to flight plan.
Repeat. Proceed to target and attack at will.
Reporting to flight commander. Targets have been hit.
Roger that.
Toronto 2, start the second phase.
I-It's happening! The entire village, they're all around it!
They've circled it with fire to make sure no one can escape!
They can't do that!
This is Mary Katz!
People of Abumisawa!
The Egregori means to kill every last person in your village!
Please make your escape immediately!
Please...!
It's them!
Opening fire on innocent civilians!
You dare call yourselves soldiers!?
Listen! That entire village is about to be destroyed!
There's a secret way out of this that only a few of us know about.
Please, get to safety, all of you.
But what about you?
We'll follow later.
Hurry!
Wait a sec.
Hayato, you and the detective... You too, Takeshi
Go on ahead, protect Al and Katsumi.
What did y?
The villagers who're still alive, Gasher and the others...
I'll let them know the escape route.
Idiot! Do you want to die!?
What about your own survival!?
You'd be helping the enemy!
True... But I can't just leave them, either.
But
I'm comin' too, Takatsuki.
I can't bear to see it go down twice.
Count me in, too.
Takeshi...
I want to help Bee. I'm the one who injured her.
You damn kids...
If we turn our backs now...
That's when we stop being us.
Good grief. There's no point arguing, is there.
I'll just wait for you here, then.
Y-You can't! ...I mean, you mustn't! You and the detective, you
But you promised. "Let's go back together, " you said.
Break that and I'll never forgive you.
And when you come back, I'll have something important to tell you.
And then we'll get away... From this world gone insane.
Then we all understand each other?
In the name of science, and technological progress...
we've played hell with human dignity.
Now is when we pay for those sins.
We've hit right on target.
Roger, Gallop 1. You can head back.
Toronto 2, proceed with attack at point blank range.
Incendiary bombs...
The anti personnel kind that sticks into the ground, then explodes.
Then those people!
The underground lab, destroyed!
But that's what you get, betraying and insulting the Egregori.
Let them do penance in Hell.
S-Section Chief Yamano! That's!
What brings you here? This is our graveyard, not yours.
You came to save the villagers.
For all the good it did. As you can see, they're all dead.
We won't be far behind.
Go! You must survive, all of you.
Burn this sight into your memory.
One day, in the name of justice, you will rise on its behalf.
Damn it...
I refuse to die! I...
I will go back!!
You came to help, didn't you. You're...not so bad, kid.
Cyborgs know no fear, you said.
But I know different.
Back there...
You were afraid.
I had forgotten.
That somehow, inside this mechanical body, I still had a heart.
Don't you be like me.
You hold tight to your heart... Okay?
Now, go...
Why!?
Tell me why!
Why am I having to see all this horror AGAIN!?
Damn you!
Bring it on! Come down here and fight me!
Damn you...
It's no use! Hayato, no.
Let me go!
It's ten years ago, all over again.
Everyone killed, all over again.
Damn them... Why!?
Hayato, let's go. Back to Katsumi and the others.
Takatsuki, too... All of us.
Let's go home.
This is war...
I hope those damn kids are okay. I wish I hadn't let them
I'll be back in a sec.
Hey! ...I'll be back, too.
So, Ryo...Why is it?
I've been remembering, lately... All that's happened, since we met.
What's weird, though, is how I can't remember...
when it was I first began to love you.
We won't let them beat us...
Not ever!
Instead, we'll
We'll make our OWN fate, like we should!
Katsumi!
Katsumi...!
Katsumi...
And when you come back... I'll tell you something important.
Takatsuki!
Takatsuki...
Do you want power?
I am Jabberwock!
If it's power you seek...
it's power you shall HAVE.
What the hell is...
It can't be. That can't be Takatsuki...!
So, Ryo...Why is that?
