I'll turn this place into a battlefield.
I won't let those bastards escape from here.
I'm not looking for victory.
It's enough to die on each other's sword.
Hey, young man.
So you wanna go to war all by yourself?
Yeah.
Interesting... Let me see what you've got.
I'll protect...
Because I'm...
So tell me, young man...
What's your impression of those real monsters?
Can you tell they're full of the dreams and ambitions that my buddy and I share?
You can't kill them like that.
Try blasting them into pieces.
You've got D-points, huh?
I guess you didn't come here expecting to die in vain, young man!
There's more to be desired for a battlefield.
I'll keep you company until the very last minute.
You'd better not do it, Lee.
You can't beat lead bullets.
I wonder if that's necessarily true.
Weapons, in general, are not effective unless the bullets actually hit a target.
I'm not an amateur...
To eliminate any hint of my existence...
That's what I've been trained to do.
Hey, now, that hurt!
Where...
Where is he?
A bulletproof vest?
Still, I bet you have a couple of broken ribs.
But it's pretty impressive that you completely incapacitated as many as six of them, young man.
It's a shame for you to die.
Listen, why don't you join us?
In that case, I'll make you one of us after you die.
Hey, can you believe it?
My partner, Cannon Vulcan,
...got hold of technology that lets him revive the dead and control them as he pleases.
Necrolyze...
We'll use the technology to revive you, young man.
And after you've been necrolyzed, you will kill Big Daddy of Millennion.
What a dramatic development. It's certainly fascinating to the audience.
I owe you guys.
I'm gonna repay you guys.
I... Bunji Kugashira!
I haven't fallen low enough to keep silent when somebody pulls a fast one on me.
I've got another pawn to necrolyze.
It looks like it's all over for you, Harry MacDowel.
What's the problem? This isn't like you, Lee...
No matter what it is that you're thinking,
...you know you're better off with me than with anyone else.
What are you saying under such circumstances...
Look around you.
Why...?
You could've killed me at any time.
Because it's you, Balladbird Lee.
I didn't let them shoot you because it's you.
If I don't go to these lengths, there's just no getting through that stubborn head of yours.
You're probably aware by now what I'm thinking...
What I'm trying to do in Millennion.
YOU will reach for the top under me, along with Brandon and Bob.
What...?
You're needed.
And I'll take you with me. Along with all your ambitions.
I'll take you there with me.
But I'm a traitor to the organization...
I'll give you the freedom to transcend all that stuff!
Freedom.
You're blasting them right and left.
Why don't you give them enough time to regenerate?
The hell we will!
I've gone through hell many more times than you bastards!
Bunji!
Damn it all to Millennion!
Bunji!
Hang in there!
I'm all right...
I came prepared.
But it'll be annoying once those monsters start moving around.
Right.
Come on! This place is finally turning into a decent battlefield!
Come out! Let's have a blast!
I wonder if Brandon is all right...
J-Just a moment, sir! Harry is... Sir!
Where is Brandon Heat?!
Twenty years...
For the first time in twenty years, I feel like I've become who I really am...
What's up, Lee?
I thought I told you not to come here.
I need you to continue working hard as a member of Millennion.
Is that why you killed our father and sent me to join Millennion?
It's a little late for that.
Tell me, my dear big brother. You plan to take over Millennion, and...
And then... what do you want to do next?
Go to war.
War?
I don't care where it is or who it's against. I'll turn the entire world into a battlefield.
Blood and I were both drafted to fight in a war that our country selfishly started.
We tasted hell again and again in that shithole...
But we can't forget it...
Neither Blood or I can forget that sunset...
Do you understand? We'll be on the side that starts it.
Wherever and forever...
That's nonsense.
What?
I said that it's nonsense.
Besides, with such low ambitions, you'll be swallowed whole by that guy.
The guy by the name of Harry MacDowel!
What the hell are you talking about?
Bunji!
I can still manage!
So, you're gonna kill the brother who has the same blood as you?
That guy brainwashed you.
NO!
What you've just said disappointed me!
I'll aim for the top...
...along with Harry MacDowel!
As Balladbird Lee, a Millennion executive!
Necrolyze...?!
You're a stupid man.
Big Guy!
What a shame...
Yes, it certainly is.
It was a good battle.
It was a good battlefield.
I had fun.
I guess this is it.
What the hell is going on, Tokioka?!
Well, well... Just as I expected.
The duration of necrolyzation is one week at most.
Just as I calculated.
You knew, you bastard...
An ambition that's too big...
...tends to fall apart from the inside.
It's proven in history.
You bastard!
Big brother...
Get ready!
What's this? What happened?
Why did they fall?
Big Guy!
Why don't you know when to die?!
So do you understand now, Lee?
That's your limit.
There is no compromise for Millennion.
You chose me, and you chose Millennion.
This is what it means to choose.
Hey...
I-I'm still alive...
An undercover investigation inside Lightning to help bring down the organization...
You'll move up in the organization.
Harry... Big Guy!
What's up?
We put a Lightning member through the wringer...
...and found out that Brandon is fighting against Blood War.
He's what?!
Unbelievable...
Betrayed by my own little brother...
How embarrassing...
No way am I gonna die in a place like this.
The war has just begun.
But this is also a battlefield...
But it's a battlefield...
Looks like we get to die in a battlefield...
In OUR battlefield...
Guess so...
I don't wanna die in a shithole like this...
Especially when a good-for-nothing someone is bossing us around.
Right. I refuse to die under such conditions!
If I'm gonna die, I'm gonna do it on my own terms.
I'll send up some huge fireworks!
Yeah, you do that.
I'll make the bullets, and you'll pull the trigger.
Sounds good. It sounds like fun.
Until then, I'll leave my trigger in your hands, Cannon Vulcan.
I accept, Blood War.
I wonder how many times you saved my life...
Same here...
We might have been dead in that war already...
Blood War...
That you, young man?
That's right...
It's not over yet.
At the very end,
...l'm supposed to launch a huge firework, right?
What the...?
Did he give up?
Necrolyze...
What the hell?
Brandon! Bunji!
Harry!
Duck down!
Get in! We'll get away!
Look out, he's...
Lee!
It's just a scratch.
I have to make sure you survive...
For own my sake, as well...
This way!
What enormous power!
Bear Walken...
Let me make this clear. This is not my own personal judgment.
Big Daddy ordered us to protect all of you!
Over Kills!
What?!
Unbelievable...
Big Guy...?
Brandon?
It's Millennion...
It's Millennion!
That's why...!
I will...!
Brandon...
I can't hear...
I can't hear Maria's voice any longer.
Repaint tomorrow into today...
...since the beginning starts with pain and tears.
The heartbeats that pierce through my scattered loneliness...
...are the depths of uncertainty.
"Where I am now is a game that only wears you down."
If so, I should be able to win by just laughing.
Let's go beyond the night.
Right now, these blues I play when I've lost it all, even words,
...throw out the part of me that does nothing but dream,
...until it sets ablaze this body that remains after fleeting moment and eternity have disappeared.
Right now, just like I wanted.
This thing that I've obtained in the past three years,
...is it hope?
Or regret?
But we keep running.
Without stopping. Ever.
