My body starts to melt
it was waiting for this miracle

009
You've got the chance to express you
Here comes the imagination
Time, place
Truth and lies
Joy and sorrow
Kindness, hateness
Happiness, sadness
Smile, tears, friendship
Alone, together, birth
Death, sleep, fight
Space and oneself
In that promised place
I feel it once again
The spreading of a dream that's come true
I start running today too
Episode 29: The Blue Beast
It's here! The Blue Beast is here!
Run!
Sudden Explosion! An Accident or Nature's Fury? Blue Beast Sighted Nearby A major explosion, cause unknown, eh?
There have been a lot of strange incidents like that lately.
You can say that again. What the devil is going on?
Unthinkable flooding on high ground,
the inexplicable destruction of an offshore oil field,
mysterious deaths of a group of poachers,
a strange tornado that only took out tools used to sprinkle pesticides,
and at every site, there are eyewitness sightings of a blue beast.
Is there some connection?
I can't say, but I wouldn't rule it out.
I bet it's them.
Them?
Black Ghost, obviously.
I realized it ever since I heard about this "blue beast."
Black Ghost still exists.
We may be worrying needlessly, but we can't afford to just ignore this.
Anyway, let's find this blue beast.
We'll split up and search for clues.
Okay.
I'll capture the beast and reveal its true colors!
I'm counting on you!
I'll contact 004 and the others.
When the eastern sky and the land become dyed by the color of dawn,
Mother Earth will awaken.
Mother Earth will get up and speak to the grass and leaves.
Then, together with Mother Earth, a new life will begin.
Spirits of the Earth, answer me.
Why has this happened?
Hey, big guy!
This gentleman wants to hire you.
I wouldn't lie to you, man.
This job is beneath you.
There's no future in it.
You'd be better off going with this gentleman.
It looks like you're awake, 005.
Did you say "005?"
Is this the way I wanted to live?
Right now I'm heading for the hometown that I left behind.
What am I looking for?
Will I find some answer there?
What the hell is this?
What are you doing?
Ain't it obvious?
I'm diggin' for treasure.
See, there's tons of useful minerals just lyin' underground.
This isn't your land!
What, are you one of them?
If you're lookin' for a payoff, you came too late!
You want a share, get it from your buddies.
W-What are you doin'?!
What happened to them?!
Did you drive them off this land?!
W-Wait! I paid 'em!
I bought this land from 'em!
Liar!
I know how you people operate!
It's true! I swear, I bought it!
When I showed them the cash, they were happy to part with this place!
It's true!
If you think I'm lyin', ask your people!
Tch! Guy's as strong as an ox!
They might as well be Black Ghost.
Why? Why did my people sell our land to them?
I can't believe it. How can this dried-out land produce so much?
Who are you?
Did you and yours do all of this?
Yes. After all, town is far away and it's hard to get fresh vegetables even there.
Still, I'm surprised you could do this here.
I understand it was rough going at first.
I guess it took years and a string of failures.
To be honest, I didn't want to come here.
I didn't have a choice, though, after my husband finally found a job,
at the neighboring mining site.
But now I really enjoy it.
Growing vegetables like this and kind of living with nature
reminds me of my childhood.
Try this.
How is it?
Good.
Right?
Sandra!
Robert?
Robert!
Robert, why? Why?!
Please, open your eyes!
Robert!
Who did this?
The Blue Beast.
Blue beast?
You don't know about it?
It's a monster that's on a worldwide rampage.
Worldwide? A monster?
It appeared there too?
I can't say for sure, but I won't discount the possibility.
009 and 003 are off investigating now.
Well, Joe?
Nothing. I didn't spot it anywhere.
Oh. No luck here either.
And no clues.
Just what is that thing?
To not even leave a trace...
Look out!
This creature...
I didn't even sense it until just a second ago!
Is this the Blue Beast?
How can it be so fast?!
It's easily dodging your blasts!
Joe!
It has Acceleration Mode...
Then it's a Black Ghost cyborg?!
Joe!
Are you the Blue Beast?
You murdered Robert and a lot of other people.
What?!
It's fast!
What's wrong?!
You can't kill me by running away!
You...
What the hell are you?!
Are you Earth itself?
You should be able to understand.
You, who were turned into a cyborg by the stupid humans,
who believed they could become gods.
This world was created to have an exquisite balance.
All life on Earth is equal.
What is given by others brings life. What is given by others brings death.
Nothing can escape this fate.
The chain of life.
But you humans don't accept this fate.
Again and again, you thoughtlessly steal from others.
When one chain is broken, it invites the next one to break, and so on,
until eventually the human race itself will face destruction.
I am doing this to teach you that.
This is a warning.
I won't let anyone interfere with me.
Leave here at once.
Why?
Why do you challenge me to a fight, knowing you'll die?
Because I have faith.
I have faith that one day, we'll be able to co-exist with you again.
Give up.
You're not strong enough to beat me.
No creature stands a chance against me.
Fool.
Why? Why do you have so much faith in humans?
Even after I ripped you up.
I want to believe, that's all.
Just a little more time...
Just wait a little longer. Then I swear...
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Was the Blue Beast really a Black Ghost cyborg?
What are you just standing around for?!
Get back to work!
I'm not paying you to take a nap!
Work! Work!
I'll keep fighting.
I'll have faith that one day,
all people will be set free of the Black Ghost within them.
There wasn't even a lingering trace of that scent
I'm surprised by the meaning of the pain
Like the red light from a towering building at night
My blinking heart won't turn off
There are things I don't want to forget and things that will be wiped away
Along mm a vow
I can see
Dancing you and me
People once saw it as the future.
A world where machines and people co-existed, where everything was automated.
I used to think that would be a wonderful way to live.
And here it is before me, the city of the future.
But is this city, that lacks all human warmth, the future we wanted?
I can't see the future in this city without love.
