I see. You stopped his brain function.
No wonder his physical strength was of no use.
However...
Let me introduce Kyklops.
He's an expert with knives.
His eyes perceive both infrared and ultraviolet rays...
as well as x and gamma rays...
almost the entire spectrum, in fact.
Whatever darkness Takatsuki chooses to hide himself in...
to Kyklops, it is as broad daylight.
As for what's truly horrifying...
what's beyond even that...
Ryo Takatsuki...
Quickly! Into the building, the one there before you.
If you're to escape Kyklops, it's the one and only way!
Where is...?
Ah... Yes, I see!
Kyklops' weakness...
This is where I'll face him.
Come, Kyklops...!
Kyklops...
I realize your eyes are like x rays...
able to see almost anywhere, via all kinds of light.
In here, though...
how it must look to you now...
I don't even want to imagine.
Put another way...
in here, Kyklops...
your ability helps you not at all.
Kyklops, can't you see?
The match is over. You've lost!
Kyklops, please... Stop fighting, right away!
I guided Ryo Takatsuki in there...
only because I didn't want you to continue this foolish fight.
So you mustn't use your powers.
Your eyes are able to manipulate light and rays...
which an average human would NEVER be able to withstand.
If you increase the range of your powers in THERE, though...
only RUIN can follow!
Kyklops, no!
Kyklops...
It's all for naught, Yugo.
Have you forgotten? To be this machine was his choice.
When he was only seven, he became an Egregori guinea pig...
and, in exchange for super human vision,
the ability to love, as well as the chance for normal life, was lost...
abandoned, I should say, of his own free will.
Kyklops, stop!
Kyklops!
Your eyes, they're at their limit.
Go further, and you will lose sight.
Your weakness is exposed. Kyklops...
Accept defeat, or retreat...
Either way, for me this is it.
I said, enough...!
Or did you not hear?!
Kyklops...
Yugo, this is the result...
of your own betrayal. Understand?
Cliff?
Don't blame Yugo too much.
I can take revenge too, can't I? For Volf and Kyklops?
Here it's an amusement park, and I'm nothing but bored.
Dear Carol, forgive me?
I can play at last!
Carol, wait...
Yugo!
Enough foolish interference.
Any more...I won't allow.
So who's next?! You want me, I'm right here!
You listening?!
If the party's over, let my friends go!
Quite impressive in battle, Ryo Takatsuki!
As you're an enemy I respect, here is your present.
A trump card of the Ex Armis...
directly above you!
K-Kei...
If you wish to save her, let's have done with sneaking.
Instead, be bold, and fight in the open!
You're full of it! You're the one who's sneaking!
Let Kei down, now! Cliff!
Stop yelling!
It won't make Cliff come down. And it won't save her, either.
Not if you can't beat me.
What...?
Oh, so sorry! I should introduce myself.
I'm Carol...though "Twister Carol " is what they call me.
Fight...with her?
Wanna know why I'm called that?
Ridiculous. I can't fight a child!
Enough, already!
And I've had enough of you.
Your opponent now is me...
Mister Jabberwock.
I can bend anything that I want, anyway that I want!
I think, "twist... "
and that's why it's "Twister... "
a name both from respect, and fear.
"Psychokinesis" is what they call it, I think...
but, whatever it is, I sure have a lot of it...!
Are you even listening?
It's so easy!
Jabberwock, the one Keith is so afraid of...!
Only natural, I guess...
Every last person who's faced me has screamed out in pain.
Stop being so stoic! Hurry and become Jabberwock.
What?!
At last, the show's climax.
Yugo, can you see?
Takatsuki's body is falling under control of "Arms. "
An aggregate of living tissue, "Arms" is its own life form...
a nanomachine organism.
When its host is injured, "Arms" self activates...
and begins healing the body.
In other words...
the more injuries sustained by Ryo Takatsuki...
no matter how he might oppose it...
the easier it is for Jabberwock to take control.
He's almost there. His will is fading.
Do it, Carol...!
Destroy the body of Ryo Takatsuki!
Twist... Twist!
Jabberwock, come forth!
Hurry and reveal your true form!
< >
Jabberwock, I thought I told you!
This is my fight. You stay out of it!
What did he...?
B-But why...?
How...?!
Carol...
Don't let your power run amuck.
Power can't...
Something like that, it can't move people's hearts.
St-Stay away...
Stay back!
Twist!
You see?!
That's power...ultimate power!
It's the reason they respect me.
It's why they all feared me!
< >
I...
I will not kill this child.
Because it's my choice not to!
Twist...
Twist...Twist...Twist... Twist!
Twist!
But he... He can't. It's impossible!
My will...and my future...
They're mine to decide.
B-But why...? Why?!
Carol, that's... That's why I won't kill you.
I won't.
Everybody... Since always...my power...
They always said it was incredible.
My Dad...
My Mom...
Yes, even the Egregori...
It can't be helped. She's out of our hands.
How could they...? And why?
Poor thing...poor child.
Abandoned.
Why...?
Yes, abandoned.
Why would they?
How could they?!
Carol, let's stop it here.
You understand. You realize...
that you've been lying to yourself.
Power begets only fear and hatred.
When it's something you want, using power to get it...
it never really satisfies.
Isn't that so, Carol.
You mustn't ever use power to suppress your real feelings.
This battle... what good to continue it now?
Cliff! You release my friends...now!
Or I'll come and make you do it!
Brother...
Ryo Takatsuki... Jabberwock.
To be fair, your response has been a shock.
Here Carol had you in such agony...
I'm actually feeling quite cross.
Brother, no!
Watch out!
Just now, what was that?!
Merely psychokinesis, Ryo Takatsuki.
Though perhaps a bit different from Carol's bending trick.
He's going to...!
No, don't! She...
I thought Carol was your ally!
We Ex Armis are the chosen ones...
a solitary, yet noble, existence.
If she needs you, we don't need her!
But, Cliff...!
Carol, get away! I won't involve you.
Run! You run, too.
Compared to Cliff, my power is nothing.
Even if you do transform into Jabberwock...
you'll be killed for sure!
Carol...
Don't die...
I don't want you to!
And there the comparisons end.
Before we even thought to imagine a different life for ourselves...
Yugo and I were ensconced in an Egregori lab...
devoted to parapsychology...
as guinea pigs.
Yugo was the first to exhibit powers.
She was able to read minds...
and could communicate via telepathy.
She was an angel, with superhuman abilities.
"Angel Yugo, " they called her.
But my powers had been dormant...
meaning that I must suffer hell.
What's the meaning of these scores?
If you don't shape up soon, mister, we'll get a poor review!
Can't you read even these?!
How stupid are you?!
Don't you look at me like that!
Far as we're concerned, you're not even human!
Here, you're a guinea pig...worse!
In the end, I was blessed with the powers I so desperately desired...
the power to destroy with a thought...
ultimate power!
The Egregori scientists were in awe of my god like powers...
naming me a devil...
The Devil Cliff!
The Devil...Cliff?
To twist off your head at the neck would for me be easy...
but it's your Jabberwock I need.
I must hand it to you, Takatsuki...
I had heard the Jabberwock was uncontrollable.
But you seem to be doing it.
That being said...
if your friend here should die...
could you still suppress the beast within?
Stop it!
You've only yourself to blame...
for not transforming into Jabberwock at the start.
Brother, no!
No o o!
Katsumi!
I feel them flowing... his thoughts!
It's useless. You won't make it.
Katsumi...!
Katsumi...
It hurts... The sorrow piercing through him...
the anger!
Never again...
I won't let another friend be killed.
I told you, didn't I?
Cliff...
You're no different from those scientists at the Egregori...
You treat your allies like things.
And to someone like that, I will never lose...
not ever!
