Chapter 63
The Endpoint

P7

McPherson: It’s over. // It was an impressive performance… / for all of you to come here // in order to save one child…

P8

McPherson: But consequently, all you did was get in each other’s way / and gave us another hostage. // And one of your friends died… // It’s our victory.

P9

McPherson: Good job Horner. Our job is done.

Horner: It’s a good thing it ended well… / But we’re not in our best condition either.

--

Horner: D4 let one of the female power holders get away / and that’s not all… // D2 has been killed!

P10

Horner: He failed in shooting the one with the bubbles // and they fought each other face to face // where he was torn to pieces! // The power holder fell into the sea but there isn’t much of D2s body left!

P11

McPherson: Shit… // Horner… / Can we increase our power output?

P12

Nami: What do we do? I can’t believe they got Yukie-san too! // Do I surrender!? But…

--

Nami: No, I should do whatever I can while I still can! // Yuuta and Rei-san might not have been discovered yet… // If only I could… / figure out where Yukie-san is!

Sfx: static sound

P13

McPherson: Listen up you power holders!! // We’re monitoring // every move you make!

P14

McPherson: Some of you are hiding / or plotting a plan // and // it looks like someone is containing this area somehow // but I suggest you stop!

P15

McPherson: I give you 5 minutes. // Surrender within that time limit!! // After the time limit it up, every 30 seconds… // I’ll put a bullet into the hostages one at a time!!

P16

Rei: Wha… / Fuck you!!

Yuuta: Rei-kun…

P19

McPherson: We’re going to make Kanou Taisuke follow our command and take care of our mission!

Sfx: grip

Taisuke: Even if you… // make us listen to you / Hirose won’t be controlled by you…! // He…

P20

Taisuke: He’ll kill everyone unil he’s alone… // He has the power / to destroy everything!

P21

Taisuke: He has it…!!

McPherson: The stop him no matter what.

Sfx: grip

McPherson: Or are the hostages’ lives more meaningful to you?

P22

Taisuke: Of course they are!

P23

Horner: Hey madam! // You have a “controlling” power too, don’t you? // Why don’t you just control her to love you?

P24

Yukie: There’s no way I’ll do that to my own child!

Man: Don’t move!

Horner: Ahahaha! // 3 more minutes… // I wonder if everyone will give in~~?
