Enju: Rentaro!!

Enju: Thou wouldn't use them anymore---- // Thou said thou didn't want to use them ever again---
Rentaro: Enju.

Rentaro: Do you trust me?

Enju: Of... // of course I do...

Enju: Of course I do! // Rentaro!

Hiruko: Show me----

Hiruko: all you've got!

Kohina: PAPA!

Hiruko: Impossible...

Hiruko: The field was unable to completely negate the damage...? // Someone // like me was...?

Kohina: Don't pick on

(8)
Kohina: my papaaaaaa!

Enju: Same goes to thee.

Enju: That sword thou are pointing at mine partner, // thou wilt withdraw it at once!

(9)
Rentaro: En----
Enju: It's time to go, Rentaro.

Rentaro: !?

Hiruko: Ha ha ha. // I'm having so much fun, Satomi-kun! // I'm hurt. // I'm alive.

(10)
Hiruko: It's a wonderful life!

Hiruko: Hallelujah!!

(11)
Enju: Rentaro.

Rentaro: Yeah.

Rentaro: Let's do it.

(12)
Kohina: Wha...

Kohina: Papa----
Rentaro: I say

Rentaro: your opponent // is me.

(13)
Kuromi: ~~~~ a weakling, and yet----

Kuromi: Get out of my way!

Rentaro: Indeed, // but it's because I'm "weak" that I know.

(14)
Rentaro: This kind of strategy.

Hiruko: No, Kohina!

Hiruko: That's a...

(15)
Kohina: AAAAAAAAAAH!!

Hiruko: Guu! // To use a flash bang here...

Hiruko: But, your partner with her superior hearing // will also be left unmobil----

Hiruko: WHA------

(16)
Enju: It's over.

Enju: Thou------

Rentaro: En-----

(22)
Rentaro: Enju...
Enju: Ehehe... // Guess one of his shots hit me...

Enju: Ah, // but don't worry, this kind of wound will heal in an instant-----

Rentaro: ...tch, // it's was a "Varanium bullet"...!

(23)
Rentaro: Because we'd have to dress your wound right away, huh? // Keep pressure on it.

Enju: ...Rentaro.

Enju: Did we // win...?

Rentaro: I don't know, but at least that should've left them incapable to fight. // Once I'm done treating your wounds, we'll look for the "Legacy of the Seven Stars" and----

(26)
Rentaro: WHA

Rentaro: No way...

Rentaro: Impossible...

(27)
Enju: !

Enju: Rentaro, // let's get away from here!

(28)
Hiruko: Satomi-kun, // you----

Hiruko: What are you living for?

Rentaro: What...?
Hiruko: We are brothers, Satomi-kun. // Our fates decided by other people. // "Inhuman humans" they created to walk a path that's beyond their abilities.

Hiruko: It's the same for your partner. // Born into this world whether she liked it or not // just to be rejected by it.

(29)
Hiruko: The nature of this world! The definitions of this world! // This planets demonstrates how they don't hold water. // We were created to oppose it all! // We were created to thrive on it! // Then!

Hiruko: What will happen is the Gastrea are eliminated? // When peace comes to this world, // what is left for us?

Hiruko: Should we-----

Hiruko: just disappear?

(30)
Rentaro: Don't tell me, you...!
Hiruko: I will fulfill my duty without fail, Satomi-kun.

Hiruko: Right here and now I'll summon a stage V // and destroy the Tokyo area. // In this Japan, in this world! // I'll make the flames of the Gastrea War burn once more!

Hiruko: And then we can finally attain it all. // A world subjected to an everlasting war! // A world where wars give rise to more wars, and------

Hiruko: Our raison d'être!!

(31)
Rentaro: Don't talk nonsense!! // Don't lump Enju together with the likes of us!

Rentaro: She is a human! // She is just a 10 year old kid!

Rentaro: Their future // has to be bright!!

Hiruko: Then, remember! // The reaction of the people when they found out your partner is a cursed child!

Hiruko: Did they welcome her!? // Did they embrace here!? // The future you seek will never come!

(32)
Hiruko: This is your last chance, Satomi-kun! // Join me!

Hiruko: Let's destroy the world. // We, mechanized soldiers and // the cursed children, // will reign this planet as a new species of human.

Hiruko: That is the world I aspire! // That's my "New Human Creation Plan"!
Enju: Thou art wrong!!

(33)
Enju: I am not like thee...

Enju: Rentaro is not like thee! // We are not the same as thee!!

Enju: No matter how much they hate me, // no matter how much they dislike me,

Enju: I still love them...
Card: Good luck at work.

(34)
Enju: We are different from thee!!

Rentaro: Enju...

Hiruko: ...I see.

Hiruko: Then-----

Hiruko: DIE.

Enju: Guh.

(35)
Kohina: Damn----

Rentaro: Enju, are you allr----

Gun: click

(36)
Rentaro (Kayo): If you really care about her,

Rentaro (Kayo): why do you let her bear the brunt of it all? // Why didn't you leave her in the Tokyo area and told her to wait for you to return?

Rentaro (Enju): Ehehe, guess one of his shots hit me. // But don't worry, this kind of wound will heal in an instant

Rentaro (Enju): Will heal----- // in an instant------

Rentaro: GAAH! // !!

Enju: Re.. // Rentaro, what art thou doing!? // Quick, get out of the way!

Enju: Rentaro. // Rentaro!

Rentaro: Experimental AGV drug?

(39)
Rentaro: What's that?
Sumire: It's the name I originally gave to the possible antiviral of the Gastrea Virus, but ...

Sumire: it was a brilliant failure and this "experimental drug" received a different purpose.

Sumire: It's a drug that utilizes the "Gastrea genes" // to grant its user superhuman healing abilities.

Rentaro: Ho.. // Hold on. // Gastrea genes...

Sumire: ...it's as you imagine.

Sumire: Any human who takes this // will temporarily // be infected with the Gastrea Virus.

(40)
Enju: Ren... // tarou...?

Rentaro: I'm fine... // I'm fine, Enju... // I will // definitely...

Rentaro: protect you.

(41)
Sumire: Rentaro-kun,

Sumire: there may come a time you will have to take it.

Sumire: But please remember // when you use that medicine----
Rentaro: GUH!! // GAH! // AAH!! // GAAA!!

Sumire: it could

(42)
Sumire: mean the end of your life as a human being.
