You two get somewhere safe!
Let's go, Elfnein!
Miku!
We'll talk later.
Yeah. Be careful, Hibiki.
Tsubasa?
Tsubasa, what's gotten into you?
Why?
Why aren't they picking up?
No way...
They can't have...
Live your life now
You can live freely
Live your life now
You can live freely
What do you choose to live for?
What do you choose to believe in?
Everyone is free to decide
We seek out that freedom,
and yet we are frozen in our lives,
unable to comprehend the status quo
We wander
Take my hand
Close and far
Hold it gently
Shining
Looking for the fragments of love
Willfully
Time passes by
I chase you
Before we regret it,
Try
let us find
Try
a better future
Live your life now
You can live freely
Does a song resound within your heart?
Our lives last as long as our hearts keep beating,
so make someone else's beat in turn
Stick to the path you have
If you can understand the cry of life,
then play a music none can equal
Live your life now
You can live freely
Xenoglossia
No bodies were found in the vicinity.
None of the nearby hospitals have reported taking in any injured either.
But considering the amount of blood...
Please widen the search area.
Roger.
They were careful.
Meticulous, even.
It is unlikely those two were caught up in this by coincidence.
Yeah. We can assume the enemy set a trap for them.
The two of them were designated the highest level of protection.
An alchemist from our support staff,
and a girl capable of becoming a vessel for the divine power.
Our investigation team had been looking after them,
but the enemy got us while the government probe was pinning us down.
Was the enemy after Miku? Or Elfnein?
Or...
Both? That's another possibility we have to consider.
First and foremost, we need more information.
Your investigation will be crucial for resolving this crisis. Keep it up.
The lab results should be in soon.
We'll be doing everything we can.
I pray that we'll find you both alive and well.
Thanks, Chris.
So that whole thing really was a diversion. I knew it.
We should've just ignored the government's orders.
Are you saying I erred in my judgment of the situation?
That's not what we meant at all!
Then what?!
That's enough!
If anyone should be freaking out, it's her!
But she's been doing the best she can!
Please, pull yourself together!
Tsubasa...
What's the matter? This isn't like you at all.
Wait! We're not done here!
There's something weird about her.
Her heart's in jagged little pieces.
You're right. But give her some space for now.
I'm sure she knows it better than anyone.
You don't have to tell me that!
We'll use these restraints to harness the undirected energy we extract from the bracer.
Finally, our goal is within reach.
Vanessa! Millaarc has returned to base!
She's brought our guests, I say!
Good work. Preparations here are progressing smoothly too.
Let's get down to business.
Copy that!
With the divine power, we can finally take back our future.
I know I'm the one at fault here.
I lash out at others. I can't protect the weak.
Tsubasa here.
I've been informed of your failure.
I have no excuse.
But next time, I will be sure to fulfill my duty as a sentinel!
Seal: command!
Tsubasa, is that really your battlefield?
What do you have to protect there?
What can you truly defend?
If you feel lost, come to me, and I will guide you.
It is the Kazanari blood that flows through you.
The Ame-no-Habakiri is a blade that exists to defend this country.
Never forget that.
This isn't my battlefield?
Kanade...
We are calling an emergency strategy meeting.
All Gear users, please gather immediately on the bridge.
I apologize for my lateness.
Tsubasa, where were you?
I'm sorry.
We are here to discuss our next moves regarding the disappearance of Miku and Elfnein
in light of the latest information.
The lab results are in.
The blood we found belonged to neither Miku nor Elfnein.
Then they're all right?
Yeah.
We didn't find any bodies, either.
We can assume this was a kidnapping, not a murder.
It's still too early to rejoice.
But at least this gives us hope.
But if they were only kidnapped, where did all that blood come from?
We're still investigating that.
Our goal now is to rescue the two of them.
U-Um, can I ask a question?
Elfnein is an alchemist, so I can see why they'd kidnap her.
But why Miku?
Commander.
I guess it's time you learned why the enemy might be interested in capturing Miku alive.
Miku...
Wait, this is...
Welcome home, master!
You!
I've been wanting to say that ever since I arrived in Japan!
This is the Château de Tiffauge—
What are you doing?
This is no way to treat a guest, I say!
Maybe next time.
I disapprove.
I gotta think. What's going on?
What happened between when she took us and now?
Oh no!
Elfnein, are you okay?
So the klutz is Elfnein, huh?
You sure gave me the runaround.
I won't let you hurt my friend!
Don't, Miku!
I didn't think it'd be so easy to get you to leave HQ.
Why are you here?
My orders were only to secure Elfnein.
What'll I do with the other one? I can't make that decision on my own.
Vanessa?
Message for you, Millaarc.
Run, Elfnein!
You mustn't, Miku!
Got it.
Sorry. It's nothing personal.
Elfnein!
Miku, run!
You can't even see scenes like this on TV anymore!
I might wet myself with delight!
Run, Miku!
They didn't say it'd be raining blood... in the forecast...
Right... Miku!
Where is Miku?
Miku!
Unlike that man, who was of no further use to us, she still draws breath.
We are allowing her to live, I say.
Don't tell me... you want to use her because she's free from the curse of balal?
Got it in one!
And we've got a job for you too.
We want you to use Carol's body to activate something for us.
Something of Carol's?
Do you mean the Château de Tiffauges?!
That's impossible!
Even if I could start it up,
now that both the Yantra Sarvaswa and the Nephilim's arm are lost,
there's no way to control it!
Slow down! That's not it.
This is what we want you to operate, I say.
It looks like some kind of generator.
Wh-What?!
What in the world are you plotting?!
How long will it take until I reach the bottom?
I need to do something. Hibiki must be worried.
Right. I need to make up with Hibiki.
Who are you?
The latest incident swept even our noncombatant friends into the fray.
It must be quite the shock for all involved,
along with the revelation that they were purified of original sin by the light of the Shenshou Jing,
making them both potential vessels for the divine power.
That's something we've all had to accept and come to terms with.
I'm so useless.
Tsubasa’s clearly upset, but I haven't been able to reach out and help her.
I used to fight with Serena too.
The apple floated in the big, broad sky
The apple crashed down on the ground
The stars were born and then the songs
But music always connected us.
And the lulu amel could smile forever
We didn't need words to reconcile.
Forever...
Where did I hear that phrase recently?
The results of our investigation are in here.
Thank you.
I'm returning with the evidence.
Having doubts is one thing,
but getting their hands on actual evidence is another. This could be bad.
Can the two of you hear me?
We've been able to detect S.O.N.G.'s movements through our observation network.
They seem to have found out about our connection with the Kazanari Institution.
What should we do?
You know where they are, right?
Then there's no question, I say.
I thought as much.
Time for your big sister to go on the offensive.
We'll keep working on the divine power manifestation.
You take care of them!
Are you certain?
Yes.
The technical forensics team confirmed that the material we got from the treatment plant
is a piece of the Antikythera mechanism with a certainty of 119.6%.
With those kinds of numbers, it's almost more real than real.
A relic thought lost after the offshore lab explosion, now found in the enemy's lair.
There were no reports of any stolen artifacts.
Which means someone handed it to them.
Since the Disaster Prevention law was passed, all domestic control of relics lies with the Kazanari Institution.
As you feared, there seems to be some connection between Kamakura and Noble Red...
What's wrong?
Enemy ambush. I suspect they're after the evidence.
I make the first move and get the cold shoulder, huh?
Reinforcements are on their way. Hold out until they arrive!
Will do!
You're not getting away.
Switch on, collider!
Ninja Car Clone
What was that?
Modern ninja arts?
The smell of gunpowder and smoke tickles the nose
The clatter of empty cartridges rings in the ears
What?!
Ichaival and Airgetlám have engaged the enemy!
Anyone who's fallen for my red heels and wants a bullet in the brain,
You're wide open!
raise your hand
Even if I shed blood, even if I'm hurt
Over time, with the support of my friends
How many tricks has she got up her sleeve?!
The pain will fade and the scabs will heal
Ogawa has made it out safely!
It's so warm
The Noble Red hostile is riding on a civilian vehicle!
Just live your life at 120%
I failed to intercept the evidence.
But at the very least, I can slow down the Gear users.
If you do, a better past and future will always be within your grasp
Do you mean to involve civilians again?
Correct.
Fire!
Not if I can help it!
Don't waste time with doubts
Fire!
No need for introductions
The Airgetlám.
Fire!
I'm the girl whose whole body is a weapon
I'm surprised you and your sister have been able to wield its light with no doubts.
Now eat lead!
What do you mean?
That relic was originally taken by the US military during the Iraq War.
Unlike Shul Shagana and Igalima,
it's a mysterious Gear that was given a name of convenience because no one knew its true origin.
Or is it?
She's trying to get into your head again.
Don't let her nonsense throw you off!
Yeah. You're right.
We won't let you have your way anymore!
If this is the end, at least let me see!
Then how about this?
You deal with her!
Got it!
Looks like you failed to save innocent lives again.
I've come far enough to lead the ones who once guided me
What?!
But as long as you carry that weight, it'll always be your weak point!
An honest, foolish futurism
Our combined pasts will lead us into the future
Fire!
Now, set output to max
Fire!
Target lock confirmed
Fire!
You'll never hit me with those hunks of junk!
Let it go, let loose
Take everything that I've got!
Put your hands up.
Where did you take Miku and Elfnein? Tell us!
What?
The Château de Tiffauges?
Materialization? It's too early!
What's going on?!
That's right, this song...
resounds with my heart just like "Apple"!
I feel you in my song
Forever
I know it's coming for me,
(The moment of the end)
even if I can't see it when I turn around
(Can't resist anymore)
I can't escape, am permitted no shred of dreams
The end is coming
Illusions fill me,
(Endless regret goes on)
lead me towards grief,
(I'm falling deep inside)
and if I reach out, I grasp the empty air,
and my screams mean nothing
Hey
If I could go back
to those halcyon days
I would not let go of your hand
My broken words fill the air,
but you are not there,
no matter how much I run and scream,
and the morrow holds only death
I wander the Earth with no answers,
but the blessing I once had,
despite the ravages of time,
breathes inside this song,
and lives on
forevermore
