That WOMAN...
So all that's left in my brain...
is "old" and "moldy" war strategy?!
As it turns out...
that's EXACTLY the line I've been wanting to use on Colonel Gauss!
Lieutenant Higgins!
The two have infiltrated the building.
Search the floors and set a blockade!
With this much security mobilized...
there's no way they'll get past us.
Damn right they won't!!
If a mere two targets are too much!
A little too quiet...
Wh-What're you doing?!
Shoot! Shoot them!!
Takeshi Tomoe was BORN for this!
HEY!
Snap out of it. Call in the choppers!
Y-Yes sir!
Curse you, Laughing Panther...
How DARE you make a fool of me!
Fine, then. We'll do it MY way.
You'll soon see...
how different Gauss and I can be.
Higgins... What's happening?
Takeshi... About what you said.
That all you "can do is jump."
It's that same ability, though...
getting you up stairs with such ease.
And your speed...!
No one can stop you.
Believe in yourself.
The real fight's just beginning.
So, Hayato: Now what?
What else?
Join up with Takatsuki and the others.
We're decoys, remember?
Once we find the command center...
we make some noise, get attention.
Then Takatsuki and the others can more easily make their move.
Good. I like it!
At long last, you see the value in working together.
Maybe he's a little smarter...
No hitting the head of the boy genius!
Geez! You'd think they don't respect me at all, the way they're always...
What're you mumbling about?
Hayato! What's wrong.
Vibrations...
and not from Takatsuki or Takeshi, either.
No, this...
is Keith!!
Sensing a faint vibration I followed it...
finding not only Jabberwock, but Knight!
You won't escape this time!
My mother, father...you killed them.
My left arm, sliced off by you!
Time for revenge, here and now!
Hayato, no!
Fight me, Keith!!
I've no use for the likes of you.
What I'm after is Jabberwock.
Shut up!
Well, Cliff did go to all that trouble...
To lure the Jabberwock, he said...
my best bet was to dangle your bodies before Ryo Takatsuki as bait.
What did you...?
Yugo! It's bad. Yugo...!
Yugo, answer me!!
Will Yugo be okay?
She's exhausted her powers.
Those unconscious Red Caps...
She tried too hard to get the Command Center location.
Also, even before that...
all that intel, going back and forth.
I'm sorry...
You're awake.
Yes...I'm fine.
But I haven't got my full telepathy back yet.
I'm sorry...especially now, when...
Don't be silly. You need rest.
Can't stay here too long, though.
The enemy will find us soon.
Yeah. You're right.
Let's move.
C'mon, follow me.
The "Queen of Hearts" will find a way through for us.
We're counting on you.
I'm not liking the being out of telepathic contact, though.
Is everyone safe... ?
This is it, Takeshi... From here, you're on your own.
I'll handle anyone who comes up after.
You've only one goal...
The special bomb on the roof.
Okay. Got it.
And don't forget your true strength.
Don't you keep it locked up inside.
Misa...
Now go.
You may not realize it yet...
but you have an amazing power.
That same power you denied having...
Takatsuki, Hayato... I'm not like them.
I don't have their courage.
Courage...
Grenade... Take cover!!
Nobody gets past this point!
Not while I'm alive!
He's coming...watch the door!
D-Did we get 'im...?
There it is...
the special bomb...
that can destroy the entire city in a single second!
So you made it, White Rabbit.
We underestimated you.
But how will you counter this combat chopper...?
When all you can do is jump...?
You're wrong.
I also...
I also have courage!
I-Impossible!
You never learn.
Can your "Arms" transformation as Knight be no more than this...?
Pitiful.
Such a fool.
You cling to human parents with whom you've no blood ties...
when I, a brother in its most true sense, offer the coup de grâce...
You should be grateful.
You gotta be...kidding.
You're not...
no way you...could EVER be...
a brother. No...way.
Hayato!
Hayato...!!
Is this...
am I...
going to...die?
I've been down lots of times...
But...what the hell?
How...easy, it was.
Hayato!
He can't do this.
First Jeff, now Hayato.
He can't do this!
Al, no!
Let go!
He killed my brother, right before my eyes!
Right...before my eyes!!
Twist!!
Twist...for Cliff.
Twist!
Twist!!
Psychokinesis, huh?
Useless.
But...!
Within me has been implanted a totally ultimate form of "Arms"...
A form quite different indeed from its ungovernable predecessors.
You each seem to yearn for someone who's passed into the Great Beyond...
Be patient. You'll meet again...soon.
Planning something, elderly sir?
The old go first...that's the way it's supposed to be.
No more will I allow the young to precede me!
Old Man...don't.
Grandfather!
Grandfather, no. You're hurt.
One arm or no, my koshingu ryu kobu jutsu...
won't be defeated so easily!
Now, you...hurry and escape!
Grandfather, no...!
It's enough for me that you survive.
Hayato...my son Shuiohiro... I couldn't save them.
Please! Hurry and run!!
Not a chance!
How long must I wait...?
I'll do the three of you at once!
Stop...
This is...just like the last time.
I don't...ever want...to see that again.
Right.
This is no time to die.
Move, body.
Old Man.
Al.
Carol.
Forget the revenge.
I have.
I want...to protect, is all.
To protect the ones I love...
THAT'S the power...
I want.
Is it power you seek?
I have been waiting.
For my master to have...
a benevolent heart.
To beget a heart...
worthy of my power.
And you...?
I am Knight.
To make with you...
the pact of blood...
is why I was born.
Vibrations...
Vibrations...?
It's so...so strong.
But also... Also so...
...Hayato!
Hayato...Hayato...
Hayato!
Hayato?
Where'd he?!
Y-You...!
My name is Knight!
I am the fighting machine...
sworn to protect Hayato Shingu.
Keith Red!
Consider that fair warning.
If you would fight me...
I shall fight with all my strength!
Wh-What is...?
It's like Takatsuki's Jabberwock...
Has its limiter gone rogue?
No... It's awakened!
The true strength of "Arms"...!
It's Knight in its perfect fighting form!
Interesting!
To think that I'd finally see the original "Arms" transformation...
given up on by the Egregori's research division!
But don't overreach yourselves.
Do you think to defeat me, a perfected, fighting "Arms" machine...?
Behold!
The ultimate warrior...Gryphon!
I'll show you what being an older brother truly means.
For I am exactly like you!
Born from the most select gene pool.
However, because my genes are yet superior...
I was born to this earth before you!
And that is why...
there is no way you can match your elder brother.
I'd meant to keep my power in reserve, until I faced Jabberwock...
But, Knight! Know now my power!!
Knight! What's wrong?
You, too, have awakened at last.
Show me that power!
You and I...we're different!
In what way?!
We are alike.
Fighting and hatred... they mean everything to us.
Now! Come and enjoy the fight.
Knight, is it?
Oh, Keith.
How far do you think you can go?
You'll be okay.
I'll protect you.
Our shield...it's been blown!
It will regenerate in time.
But now...he comes!
It's your loss!
You possess an ultimate power...
and yet you play the fool, smitten by human trash!
Shut up! Humans are never trash!
Hayato...!
You've no right to bear "Arms"...!
Failures like you...
you ought to have been taken apart!
I know the fear that comes with unlimited power.
And, yes...I was once like you.
Nothing but hatred, and revenge.
But it's different now.
Now, I... I don't want the Old Man to die.
I don't want Al...or the others... any of them, to be hurt.
I only want to protect...!
This light... What...?!
Behold the power!
Behold my Mystletain Spear!
