Wha...!
H-How?!
W-Why? The plan worked, didn't it?!
Hey, Bill! What is this? What's going on?!
I don't know. Her arms should've been immobilized.
I was sure Levius won by a KO.
What the heck is this AJ girl?
That was not normal.
Can't believe she got up after that.
What in the blazes is...
Something's... changed.
I see you've opened the door on your own, Levius...
What a shame.
However...
This could be amusing too...
I shall enjoy this.
Let the final act begin.
EPISODE 11
THE POSSIBILITY OF IT WORKING IS INFINITELY CLOSE TO ZERO!
How... are you...
What did Clown do to you?!
Your voice will never reach her.
The conversation has ended.
AJ...
AJ!
Wh... Why...?!
What's happening...
What... is she...
How is AJ able to move?
Well...
Maybe that steam thing wasn't destroyed?
No, that had to have been a perfect strike...
I know I... hit it...
Before she fell, the emergency exhaust valve opened
and the steam generator burst...
I'm sure of it.
Then what should we do now?!
I don't... know.
It should have worked...
Huh?! It can't be...!
I see...
What is it?
There's no other way...
What is it? C'mon and tell us!
My theory is...
that AJ has... two steam generators.
What...?
Two?
Isn't that against the rules?!
During the regulation check,
the internal physical body isn't inspected.
It's... inside her body?
Pupillary response is normal.
Blood pressure and oxygen saturation levels are both normal.
Armor, engine chamber steam pressure, and drive for each parts are all normal.
The main has been completely destroyed, but the sub-generator is fully operative.
However, the emergency function has been released.
Should it be restrained?
Restrained?
How inelegant. Let it be.
As you wish, sir.
The will to serve others...
That desperate dedication...
Levius...
You have exceeded my expectations.
How are we gonna locate the other one?
D-Don't you have any clue!
The steam generator's in her body! We can't tell just by looking.
Then he's got no choice but to keep striking at random.
There's no time. And Levius' damage is worse than I expected.
Already 20% of the armor has been lost, and his ribs might be broken too...
No...
I'm okay, it doesn't hurt that badly...
And what if a broken rib pierces your lung?
The blow was dampened, but you took it in a vital spot.
There could be internal damage too.
Your body's in tatters and we've got no idea where her weak point is...
There's no way we can win this...
It's called a "steam generator," so that means it's a machine, right?
Zack?
If it's a machine...
it'll heat up, right?
You're not... No, you can't!
Huh... Huh? What do you mean? I've got no ide--
Levius' side, it's time.
Levius.
This round... Please just find a way to get through this one round.
Uncle...?
Levius it's time! You'll get disqualified!
Right...
Don't worry, Levius. I'll take care of the steam generator!
Okay.
-Don't. -Let go, Bill.
I can't. I'm a doctor.
W-What are you two talking about?
Infrared hypersensitivity! The disease Zack has in his eye!
His eye?
It's a steam illness that makes the retina hypersensitive to infrared rays.
I-Infra... What?
Heat. He can see heat that isn't normally visible.
So, that means...
That's right. I'm gonna find the steam generator in her body!
A foolish thought! You'll burn out your retina and optic nerves!
H-He'll go blind?
That's not all.
It'll damage the brain and hypothalamus, meaning death in the worst-case scenario.
Death... No...
Zack, forget this crazy idea.
The possibility of it working is infinitely close to zero!
Is that so...
Yes.
Well then... it's not zero!
Zack!
Zack! Are you okay?! Zack!
Do you get it now?!
I'm indebted...
During the war, so many died...
Thanks to this eye I wasn't drafted.
But, because of this eye...
I couldn't save anyone. I couldn't even stop my brother.
That's why...
at least this time...
This time I need to be there for Levius!
Z-Zack...!
Where is it, where is the bloody thing...
Hold on Levius...
-Th-That's enough, hairy-pig! -Stop it!
But, four-eyes...!
Let him be.
Hold on... Just hold on!
What is Zack Cromwell up to...?
He couldn't be...
I see.
So you're willing to go to such lengths...
Z-Zack...
Levius!
Just bear with me... Levius...
Levius!
No! Stop it! Please! Let me go!
Stop! No!
Let me go... Let me go!
What are you doing...
You don't have time...
I have...
a promise...
that I need to keep!
Zack! How much longer?! You can't keep this up!
I'm gonna find it no matter what! No matter what!
Zack...
True self-sacrifice and devotion...
born from struggle, destruction and chaos...
How marvelous...
Take this bloody eye...
Where is it... Damn it all, where is the bugger!
Hm?!
That one was bad...
Th-This is...
Round 3 is over!
Both boxers will now take a 15-minute break for maintenance!
Zack!
I'll carry Zack. You get Levius!
Oh... Sure!
This is awesome!
I can hardly wait!
AJ!
Levius!
This couldn't be any worse...
But...
Levius!
H-How's my uncle?
Levius, sit down!
But...
We don't have time!
Bugger! It's worse than I thought!
L-Levius...?
-Uncle! -Levius! Stay still!
Stop it hairy pig!
I'm okay...
You're not okay! You're staggering!
Be quiet! I can't focus!
W-What happened to your eye?
Levius... I found it.
Eh...
You found it?! Seriously?!
Keep your voice down...
Oh... So, where is it?
Right below... the heart...
I'm sure of it.
By the heart? It's also serving as a vascular bypass?
Could they be inserting the drugs from there...?
Because being closer to the aorta, it would spread to the brain faster...?
Then, if we can smash that thing to pieces...
...we can assume Clown's mind control can also...
...be stopped.
G-Get a hold of yourself... You're heavy!
Uncle...!
Levius! Please stay still!
But...
L-Left chest... Look at the armor...
Between the chest and abdominal part... There's a gap.
Left chest...
Gap in the armor...
Her hook.
Aim for that gap the moment AJ raises her fist!
Got it!
Good...
Hairy pig...
You did pretty good.
Done. The arm can be used just as before.
However, there was some deformation in the basic framework that I can't fix here.
It doesn't look like it's broken, so maybe it's okay?
The inside of the framework is extremely complex.
As it is, it can't bear the steam pressure on the elbow when the arm is bent.
The elbow valve?
You've got one spin hook left.
That's not the only problem. If you end up damaging AJ's heart...
She will... not survive.
Looks like there's no room for failure.
Luckily, we're near the hospital.
As long as her heart isn't damaged, I'll be able to manage something.
Levius...
I'll land it... no matter what...
Isn't it time yet?!
C'mon, start it already!
What are ya waiting for?!
A melody resonating in silence...
Huh?
Stronger than the beauty in the moment the reverberation fades away...
Stronger than that has this resonated in my heart.
Never have I seen a match as brilliant as this.
Father...
My daughter, just as I always knew, you are my masterpiece.
I've been brought to a realization.
For the first time in forever, my soul trembles...
However...
That passes in the twinkle of an eye.
Hm?
Yes...
Sacrifice and devotion...
These are the greatest thrills created by God himself.
My beautiful daughter...
Will you give me a spiritual elevation
that will feel as if it lasts for eternity?
Yes, Father.
As ordered, we've filled it to the limit...
But the basic framework will be immensely impacted...
I believe she could have easily won without going this far...
Never has there been such an opportunity.
We shall respond to their devotion with the grandest of ceremonies.
Cadenza!
What was that?
What's wrong?
What is... that pressure...?
And now...!
Time for the solo performance!
