I've got a major breach in the host AI!
What?!
Impossible. It's a microwave relay.
The data should be completely...
The IEB network's alive?!
Hau Dragon's making its move! Tell Oki!
Miku!
Masato! What did you...
I told you, Oki. Don't order me around!
I'm not your goddamn puppet! Let me do as I want.
What?!
How could you, Masato? Why?
It's time I taught them a lesson!
Masato!
I'm taking Zeorymer out!
Those eyes, the way he's speaking.
It can't be!
Hades Project ZEORYMER
Tekkoryu. A huge corporation known to most as "Hau Dragon"...
bent on world domination.
Creators of the Hakkeshu, a force of eight giant robots.
Of these, one was stolen by a traitor...
and hidden somewhere in Japan.
Its name: Zeorymer of the Heavens.
Zeorymer will only recognize one pair as its pilots:
Masato Akitsu and Miku Himuro.
But Zeorymer has been programmed for a terrible project.
The "Hades Project"...
in which it will determine the master of the underworld.
Project III DISSILUSIONMENT
The exponent's dropping... Miku?
How I've waited.
Oh, how I've waited for this day!
Zeorymer of the Heavens! I exist only to destroy you!
Go! Swift as moonlight!
The movement!
Where?
I'm in Zeorymer. How'd I get here?
Miku! Miku, are you here?
Masato! Masato, come in!
Mr. Oki!
Mr. Oki, what's going on?
Listen carefully! Miku's been kidnapped.
What?!
You're going to have to fight that guy in front of you.
Miku's only the sub-pilot; I'll back you up from here.
We should be able to pull it off.
But... I don't even know how powerful this one is.
Believe! In Zeorymer's abilities and in your own!
Either I can do it, or else...
It's THAT weak?
Impossible! Its impulse is only 1/3 what it was before.
It has to be because of Miku. Kihara, why?!
Masato! Stay back! We don't know what it's armed with!
Roger!
Why? Why is it holding back its full power?
Why was I acting like that before?
Of course. That other "me."
That cruel, brutal other me.
No! That isn't me! It isn't...
You look tired.
I said you look tired. Are you all right?
Wha... What're you doing?
You can cut the act.
There's nothing you can hide from me.
You're a puppet, to do only as I say!
Isn't it wrong for a puppet to act like a real human?
Masato!
Who... Who was that?
Here he comes!
Now, see the power of the Moon Beam Sword!
That voice!
The other guy's voice?
Rockfell!
You'd better talk, Miku Himuro!
Masaki Kihara stole Zeorymer of the Heavens 15 years ago.
And the zygote for the only planned pilot.
But now we know that it only works for Masato AND yourself.
None of the other Hakkeshu robots requires two pilots.
Why?! Why is Zeorymer different?!
You must know the answer.
I hate those eyes. They're like Masaki's.
Those horrible, evil eyes.
If you hear me, then know that you continue Masaki Kihara's crimes!
Now HE'S talking about Kihara.
He... He's using the beams like a sword!
Now taste this... Lunar... FLASH!
Hold off! Let him do what he wants!
How much energy can that thing hold?
He'll use it up soon. Just wait for him to run out.
And then we'll have a new Hakkeshu robot for our use.
Is he out of power?
Don't assume Rose C'est La Vie is like the other Hakkeshu robots.
Moonlettes, LAUNCH!
What're...
Now, see how our science lets me manipulate the weather!
CHARGE!
What now, Zeorymer of the Heavens?
I still have two satellites remaining.
It must be because we have that girl Miku.
Masaki, how could you have made such an obvious mistake?
Who's there?
Her Highness wishes to see you.
We've no time for these games, with Ritsu in the midst of battle.
This isn't a game!
Zeorymer's power is half what it was, correct?
Yes.
Everything we do is so we can create our underworld.
The Hades Project was to allow us to take over the world!
Hades.
So, it's finished.
But your boasts of its power may not be proven in battle.
Moonlight can never move the Heavens.
In any case, Zeorymer will be no match for me.
What's that look for?
Aren't you tired of Her Majesty's little games?
She won't learn anything from that girl despite torturing her.
Only Yuratei knows what Yuratei's plans are.
Are you against that?
Am I?
She's torturing Akitsu's partner...
but only as revenge for her unrequited love.
Driving herself to suicide, as if she WANTS to fail.
You ungrateful...
It may be time to cut our losses and pull out.
Well, are you with me?
What?!
If you're with me, we can make Yuratei see reason.
Saiga!
So, now you're trying to incite a rebellion!
Rebellion? Don't be absurd.
You wouldn't do what he was saying.
Of course not. Our lives are tied to Yuratei.
And that's as it should be.
Why are you always against him, Gisou?!
I... I just worry about you.
What?
No, just forget I said that.
Mr. Oki, Zeorymer isn't moving the way I want it to!
It's because of Miku?!
She's just the sub-pilot!
How could her absence be affecting its power output?
She's there for data management.
Dammit Masaki, you told me that!
But I'll just bet... Miku, where are you?!
So... this is my hated Zeorymer!
This pathetic opponent! No match for Rose C'est la Vie!
Charge!
He's charging again! Now what?!
I'll incinerate you in one blow, Zeorymer. Masato Akitsu!
With the J-Kaiser!
Can you escape?!
Look out!
Get out of there! Move it!
I can't! My lower-half systems...
they're completely knocked out!
Impossible!
I've destroyed it! Kihara's Zeorymer!
Masaki Kihara himself!
What the... Masaki! You did THAT?
She's still unconscious?
Yes, still. If you'd wait in the next room...
I will wait here. Continue your treatment.
Of... Of course.
This time you will not escape!
Tell me!
Why do you hate Masaki Kihara? Because he's a traitor?
No. Because of what he did to me.
I cannot forgive his making a joke of my life!
Masato Akitsu, you can't see it.
This face of mine.
This... WOMAN'S face I have to live with.
Although I was born to be a soldier...
he gave me a woman's face!
People sometimes have to live with those they despise.
And when they know how to hurt you in the cruelest way.
A woman.
Then I learned...
learned that I'd been made by Masaki Kihara.
That he created me, that he gave me this face.
Made you?
Yes. All of the Hakkeshu pilots...
were artificially created by him.
Made you?
I discovered the data.
The program data Kihara used when he created us.
Each of us was given a neurosis while in vitro.
The seeds of our destruction, wired into our genetic make-up.
In Taiha, unrequited love.
In Aen and Tau, extreme hatred and sisterly love.
And for me, this woman-like face.
It may seem ridiculous to you, Masato...
but no one can truly understand how much it hurts.
And so I swore to myself.
Swore to not be controlled by Kihara's desires.
And so I set loose all my hatred for my creator, Masaki Kihara.
And soon I will be victorious!
No more talking.
And now, let the blood of Kihara within you be destroyed forever!
Kihara's blood. Don't make me laugh.
What?!
Who do you think I am, Ritsu?
You think I'd allow you to best me?
Go to hell! J-Kaiser, full power!
Zeorymer! Retrieve your missing part.
The dimensional coupler system!
- What the devil! - What's happening?
FIRE!
I've done it!
Impossible!
You think I'd let you charge again?
I'm going to have some fun killing YOU, Ritsu.
- Let's go, Miku! - Roger.
You're not Masato.
It can't be.
You're...
Father...
I am Masaki Kihara, and I am NOT your father!
Why didn't you tell me she wasn't human when you knew?!
Forgive me.
Enough. Get out of my sight!
We needn't concern ourselves with Zeorymer any longer.
I'm putting the Final Project into motion!
Masaki... Kihara.
Just what you said last time we met... Oki.
What have you done to Masato?!
You just can't explain anything to a puppet.
I am Masaki Kihara, existing WITHIN Masato.
In fact, Masato Akitsu no longer exists.
I created Zeorymer in order to become master of the underworld.
However, I realized I would probably be killed while trying.
And so I created a clone zygote of myself...
and encoded it into the Zeorymer unit.
When the clone developed and eventually entered...
the Zeorymer cockpit, it would be programmed with...
Masaki Kihara's complete personality!
I am...
Masaki Kihara!
And so the personality sealed within Masato Akitsu...
is none other than that of Zeorymer's creator, Masaki Kihara.
But now HE claims to be the true master of the underworld.
As the showdown builds between Yuratei's "Final Project"...
and Masaki Kihara, they edge towards a terrifying fate.
Will either of them end up controlling the world?!
Sundown, coloring the world around.
Sundown, the sunlight's fading fast.
A flickering moment caught in time...
blurring all of my memories.
Shutting up my heart with...
a painful crimson loneliness.
Let me know! Let me know who I am!
Tell me how! Tell me how shall I do?
Whose blood must I spill? Why must I do it at all?
I'm left with just my unbreakable loneliness.
Sundown, coloring the world around.
Sundown, the sunlight's fading fast.
The darkness falls all around me, leaving me out here, all alone.
Memories are just a piece, just a piece of a man...
and leave a painful crimson loneliness.
Let me know! Let me know who I am!
Tell me how! Tell me how shall I do?
No matter which destiny I try to follow through...
I'm always left with my unbreakable loneliness.
