Farewell, Keith.
Throughout history...
what weapon has destroyed more lives than any other...?
Not swords, or guns, or even nuclear weapons.
Watch and learn.
There is no such thing as defeat, not for a true hero.
What's going on?!
All the Red Caps in the area are retreating.
I see.
The offensive against us...
has been set up in the stadium.
It's dark.
Can't see a thing.
Careful...
Takatsuki!
Klutz.
I couldn't hel...
You okay...?
Takatsuk-i-i-i...
It's dark, okay?! I couldn't help it.
Takatsuki...
Straight ahead. Four of 'em.
Plus...they've all got blades.
How good of you to come, Jabberwock...
Ryo Takatsuki.
I am Gauss...leader of the Red Caps.
Gauss Gall!
In recognition of your courage...
I've some special foes for you...
The Special Forces Unit! Exceptional even amongst Red Caps.
That's enough! Where are you hiding?!
Gauss Gall! Stop sneaking around... Come out!
If you manage to defeat them...
I'll have no choice but to show myself.
So try your best, now!
I'll flush you out, no matter what it takes!
It'll be useless to fight them the normal way, though.
There's just one way...
Hit 'em hard, and knock 'em cold!
What?!
Those guys, they're...empty shells!
Wha...?
In their heads...no ego, no thoughts. Nothing.
In fact, they're like...like puppets!
What's with these guys...?!
Damn...there's no way to...
Surprised?
They've had all sense of self removed...
They're tech dolls, responding to my telepathy alone.
And volunteers, at that!
They feel no pain, no fear.
Whatever the attack...
they will not run...not be thwarted.
Their only goal is to hit their target, head on.
Just as I tell them to...!
Why, you...!
They're not even human to you!
It doesn't even count as a fight!
Even still, something's strange...
Without fear, or retreating...
at that level of strength...
Ryo is still clearly stronger, never mind Jabberwock.
What's he thinking, that Gauss?
The dolls themselves are mere bait...
If they distract Takatsuki, even for a moment...
that's plenty!
Jabberwock...the time has come.
I'll fulfill my destiny...with this, my trump card.
R-Run...!!
Takatsuki!
J-Just a bullet wound...
Not to be overconfident, but with the regenerative power of "Arms"...
this should...
Wh-What?!
What has caused more battlefield fatalities than anything else...
do you think?
That would be...
venom.
Damn...
They're stronger than I thought.
Pro mercenaries, no doubt about it.
The Superintendent...he's gone!
And so are all his flunkies.
What? So there's no one?
Guess I saw it coming...
Damn it all.
Still...
that we're more or less alive...
says to me that we've some luck.
As for our next move...
time to rally the troops once more.
I wonder.
So you're not dead.
Luck, or misfortune?
I thought you came seeking protection from the Red Caps...
but...
maybe not.
The thugs who started all this seem to have made themselves scarce.
When the police put themselves on the line to control the city...
it made the people see reason again.
So our pride wasn't for nothing.
Still...what a hopeless thing you did.
The enemy's military.
They're war professionals.
The police are no match for them.
Look, Lady...
You know the difference between the police, and the military?
The military can arrange surrender.
They've got int'l laws to cover it.
But police are different...?
Yes.
When it comes to crime, the police...
can never start waving white flags.
Not ever.
Is that your motto...as a policeman?
No. It's my motto...as a man.
What th'?!
Surrender! Unless you wanna die.
Stubborn bastards.
Detective Kabuto get down.
"Kabuto, Koiohi. Age 31."
"Blood type, AB."
"Passed civil service exam with flying colors and was on fast track."
"Too many cases of disobeying orders and insubordination, though..."
"have restricted him to the criminal investigations division."
"Last year, received 13 reprimands. And..."
Oh, dear.
"In grade school, your essay proclaimed your future career goal...
"as an ally of justice."
Uh...who are you?
My name is Li Chunyan.
I wrote the same essay, way back when.
Relax.
As of now, we're after the Red Caps.
"We" being the elite members of the Blue Men.
"Blue Men"...?
Jabberwock is crying!
Unendurable pain wracks his body!
At this rate...
his body will overheat...
and he'll be destroyed!
What's wrong?! Jabberwock!!
It HURTS
I am diminishing...
I am...disappearing!
Jabberwock!
Victory is mine.
Jabberwock!
What I just shot into you... that was no ordinary bullet!
It's made from nanomachines... Venom!
Toxic poison!
"Venom"...?
However much fighting ability Jabberwock may have...
we're talking binary numbers...A.I.
Just a bunch of zeroes and ones!
When Venom is injected into other nanomachines...
it begins to multiply, to invade...
the "Arms" functions controlled by the A.I. core chip...
signalling the complete and total destruction of the program!
As the name suggests, it's poison made to kill "Arms"...
A computer virus created by the scientific geniuses at the Egregori!
Computer virus...?
Since it is still just a prototype...
I could only get the one shot.
In order to hit the target, I needed to slow him down first.
Next, though...
it's your turn!
K...Kei...!!
Get the women!
Secure the Queen of Hearts!
Wh-Why, you...!
Those tech dolls are mine!
I don't think this counts as a fight, either...
I hate it!!
But I've no choice!
You're hurting my friend Kei, and I won't have it!
Very impressive.
And so cute, too.
But how far do you think you'll go?
Use the tech dolls, then!
Show me what you've got!
Takatsuki...
Takatsuki!
What's happening, Jabberwock?!
I've gotta hurry and get the virus.
Otherwise, I'll die right with him!
Then again...
I've never been so deep inside, not till now.
What is it I'll find...?
Now Jabberwock will be completely and totally destroyed.
Wh-Where is...
Yugo! Why are you...?
Take it easy, Kei.
You do this?
Don't worry.
Until everyone's back...
I'll look after you, Kei.
Wait, wait... You, protect...?
I get it...
You're controlling Gauss' dolls with your telepathy, right?
I'll use the Queen of Hearts to check his movements, then.
Follow my instructions, okay?
What...?
But your strategy is so silly.
The name "Angel" suits you... the world's foremost telepathist!
You're far more capable than I.
That, though, will be your downfall.
The greater the telepathic power...
the greater the dolls' feedback!
It'll be interesting to see...
how much you can endure.
No. You're not... Stop!
Release them from your control!
No. I have to. I can't stop now.
But...you'll die. Yugo, no!
When my brother and comrades were killed, I made up my mind.
That if it came down to your life, I'd give up mine!
You "Arms" still have such limitless power...power to stop the Egregori!
That's why...you four must go to the Egregori's heart.
I want you to go to Alice!
That way...no more sacrificing innocent lives.
That...is our...dearest wish.
T-Takatsuki...?
Takatsuki...?!
Jabberwock's A.I. circuit, its core!
Breaking apart...
What's happening?!
What... What are...?
I see.
They're the computer virus!
Now they're...heading into the light!
And what's there...?
I am being consumed.
I am being destroyed!
Could that be the matrix of Jabberwock's soul...?
Once that's gone, it's over!
I won't let it!
This is...the Abumisawa church?
No. It can't be!
K-Katsumi...
Thank you, Ryo.
You've been looking for me!
I...
I've wanted to see you, too.
Katsumi...
If you're coming, come!
I'm not losing to you.
Yugo, you gave your life for me.
My very first friend...
And so...in memory of the Blue Men, and of my comrades!
The Queen of Hearts'll show you...
that you'll never, ever beat me!
Never!!
Don't underestimate me.
Even without my legs, I still have my eyes.
I see your every move...
I...can't lose?
I...
What th'?!
Hot damn!
Close one there, eh Kei?
Brave as ever, even alone.
But never fear...
Ralph Coleman and the Blue Men are here!
They won't touch a single hair.
The girl here's okay!
No life threatening injuries.
It wasn't just a close call for her, though...
If Li hadn't got the info that our HQ would be attacked...
We'd all be...
So everyone's...??
You really hung in there, didn't you Kei.
Let's beat feet outta here.
The others are waiting for you too.
Everyone is...
Thank God. They're okay!
How?!
How did the Blue Men...?!
Dammit! But it's far from over...
Fine, then.
If that's how it is, count me in for a Red Caps' ass kicking.
Taking a chance, regardless of odds?
You said it: "Ally of Justice," right?
In that case, I suppose you'd better count me in, as well.
All troops, calling all troops.
Attack the stadium immediately!
Ryo...how I've missed you.
Ryo...!
Katsumi...
N-No. You're not!
This is...inside Jabberwock.
No way you're Katsumi.
You're an illusion!
What's wrong, Ryo?
I'm... I'm here to destroy the virus within Jabberwock.
Don't interfere!
"Interfere"...? When we're finally together...?
What's Jabberwock to you anyway.
Wasn't he just the scary monster you couldn't control??
Let him be destroyed, who cares?!
You can be free that way.
Okay? Let's just destroy him!
No... I can't!
Ah.
It's that easy...
for you...to let me die.
For you to let me die.
Is this the virus, too...?
A way to trick me into letting Jabberwock die...?
This world...
I won't...
I don't believe it!
Because...
Because...!
It is a lie.
Deep inside your heart...
you believe that, perhaps...
Katsumi is still alive.
But she...was killed by you.
I...killed Katsumi...?
Yes!
Hate...
I hate...
I hate...everything!
