Mom...
l wanted to be with you longer.
l wanted to talk about all kind of things with you.
We never talked about Dad...
Miss Katsumi.
Here.
Ms. Fuyuka figured she may never see you again...
...so she wanted me to give this to you directly, together with a message.
lt's up to you how you wish to use it.
She says the path you ought to take...
...is written in this book.
''To my daughter Katsumi''...
Gigelf Liqueur.
Dad?
The wind. Spirits of the atmosphere.
Speak your master's name.
Why this?
l don't want any of Dad's magic...
No way. Not this.
NO!
Mom...
Attention to all passengers boarding flight 205 for Los City via Hawaii.
We are now commencing pre-boarding procedures.
Make your way to counters 633 and 634.
Here you go.
l'm sorry, Miss, but you cannot depart the country with this ID.
Huh? What do you mean?
l've been here for less than ten days.
Besides, why can't l leave here to return to my own country?
Miss, you became a citizen of this country yesterday, didn't you?
Your residence is registered as Tokyo, so please return after acquiring a visa.
No way. Who would do that?
l should've figured it was you guys.
Um, did Kiddy do something by any chance?
That's right! This is the work of that muscle woman.
She's the one who changed my ID without my knowledge!
l have no idea what you're talking about.
We've been told by our chief to continue guarding you.
We don't know anything beyond that.
ls that so? So that's how it is.
Then take me to your chief!
Well, l would be happy to take you there...
...but this is a two-seater.
l'm sorry but if you wanna see her, go there on your own.
The Chief is in Department 65.
All right, then! Forget it!
Um, Miss Katsumi!
l'm sorry.
Kiddy, you didn't have to be so cold.
She just lost her mother.
Nami. Hurry up and get on! We're gonna lose sight of her.
Could it be that you dislike Katsumi?
There are no likes or dislikes on the job.
l like Katsumi.
She actually seems a lot like you.
Hey Aida, who was that?
Apparently she's here to see the chief of AMP.
Really. So she's not a friend of yours?
No, she's not.
l would love to be friends with such a beautiful woman.
You've got bad taste.
What in the world do you think you're doing?!
Changing the address on my ID without permission?!
l thought l was done with you guys!
Let me return to Hawaii!
Then everything will be over, right?!
Regrettably, things haven't even started yet.
Also, you have become a member of AMP starting today.
What?
Chief!
We've made living arrangements for you here.
You'll have everything you need.
Why...why me?!
Over the past few months...
...the number of Lucifer Hawk victims have been on the rise.
The helpless humans...people of this city who are powerless against them...
...are killed with no means to fight back.
That's got nothing to do with me!
Whatever happens to complete strangers...
...or whether the city is infested with monsters.
These things have nothing to do with me!
l couldn't help, anyway!
l'm sure you've realized by now that you have the power.
Tremendous power inherited from your parents.
No way!
Are you... are you telling me to use magic?!
The same magic that killed my mom...and my dad?
You're telling me to use that magic?
Absolutely not!
Katsumi, Ms. Fuyuka was...
Stop it!
l've had enough! This talk of magic and monsters...l want no more of it!
Katsumi, um...
Chief!
l don't know what kinda power she has, but she doesn't even wanna...
Kiddy!
She is...Katsumi is crucial to AMP's operations.
That's right.
Not only AMP. Her existence is necessary to humanity.
And the same can be said for our enemies.
Hey, it moved!
lt finally moved. That was a long wait.
But it'll still be a little longer.
Hey Mom, please. l'll keep my promise.
No. l just bought you one the other day.
But it's not the same as the other one. So please.
Please!
Maybe next time.
No, right now!
Please. l'll help you around the house. Please.
See, the lady's laughing at you for being naughty. So wait until the next time.
Okay...
Huh? It's raining.
Welcome.
Excuse me. l'll have a coffee please.
Sure.
Are those tropical fish real?
This shop isn't making that much money.
Ah, hey! Wait!
Wait a minute!
Oh, l'm sorry...
l'm sorry. l'm sorry!
That person...
Ow! Let go of me, you idiot!
You could learn to shut up!
Katsumi!
Um, it would be wise to stay out of the rain.
lt will make you sick.
You run into problems like this because you're absentminded.
Would you stop giving us extra work?
Why? Kiddy!
You're the ones following me without my asking!
Come on! Would you try and understand the position you're in, already?!
Again? And those people too.
Like l said, don't meddle in my affairs! Leave me alone!
How long will you keep talking like a brat?
Then fine, l'm a brat.
You... !
The wind?
She's back.
Where is she?
Hey, what's wrong?
l feel it. Gigelf's power.
No way...
Hey, come on, what's the matter?!
Kiddy...
ls it here?
Yes.
lt's very slight, but there is a disruption in the spiritual pressure.
What?
Are you okay?!
What in the world just happened here?
This is terrible!
Contact the Chief.
Right.
Are you all right? Hang in there!
An ambulance will be here right away.
The wind...suddenly.
Yes, l'll report when l find out more.
My daughter...where's my daughter?!
No! No way!
l can't take this anymore!
NO!
Katsumi!
Seems like the wind is stirring.
They likely awakened after sensing the power.
All that power is going to belong to us, right?
Yeah. But there appears to be too many obstacles getting in the way.
We must do a little cleaning up.
You're right.
That's the general outline of this incident.
lt doesn't seem to be caused by any type of explosive.
And you, Nami?
Yes. l did sense something.
But it's inconclusive?
Yes.
And what about Katsumi?
Well, she suddenly...
You lost sight of her?
Yes, l'm sorry.
l understand.
We'll trace her signal from our end.
You can call it a day once you're done.
Yes. Roger that.
All we know is that it was windy.
We know that there were irregular winds for 3.8 seconds in that area...
...coming from Tokyo Bay.
However the energy level of the wind itself was rather small.
lsn't that a restricted section?
Yes. Restricted area D-13.
But there's practically nothing here other than the former Tokyo Bay Bridge.
Hmm...
Wait. Could it be the bridge...?
l'm sick of this city.
l wanna go somewhere.
Mom.
What should l do? And where can l go?
Huh? What's going on?
l can't move.
This rain. She warned me that it would make me sick.
lt's cold. This suit was expensive, too.
l'm gonna die here. l can...
...l can be with Mom.
Darling.
Huh? Where am l?
What happened?
Oh, you're awake.
You should stay there. You need to get some more rest.
l'm making some coffee.
Who is this girl?
Come to think of it, l collapsed after getting soaked in the rain.
l'm still alive.
Are you okay?
Do you have a headache or anything?
Ah, l think l'm all right.
l'm glad.
You did get soaked pretty bad, so you might not feel well for a while.
But give yourself a good night's rest and you'll feel fine in the morning.
Oh, sorry!
l'll bring your coffee right away.
Feel free to wear that gown over there. It's mine so it may be a bit small for you.
How do you take your coffee?
How was it? Did you like the coffee?
Yeah, very much.
Really? l'm glad.
lt's my special blend.
Hmm...this is good enough to serve at a coffee shop.
By the way, l came across these delicious cookies the other day, so l bought some.
But eating at this time of night might add to the waistline.
l haven't asked you your name yet.
Oh, right.
l'm Yuki. Yuki Saiko.
l'm Katsumi Liqueur.
Thank you for saving me.
lf you hadn't passed me by chance, l might've been dead by now.
Did you perhaps think you didn't mind dying at the time?
Uh...l'm not really sure.
l was feeling kinda lightheaded.
l know l was thinking how l hated this city and wanted to go somewhere fast.
But there was no place l could go.
Please don't say such sad things.
l like this city. And l like you too, Katsumi.
Um, wait.
l'm not at all saying that l dislike you personally, Yuki.
Besides, l only met you today... or more like moments ago.
There's no like or dislike toward you yet.
And as far as the city's concerned...
l can sorta tell. It's fate. Probably.
lt's the same with our encounter.
We'll be working at the same place, and...
Don't tell me you're into fortunetelling or prophecies!
Huh? Um. It's my hunch. Like an inspiration, maybe.
l can't stand that sorta stuff!
Stuff like fortunetelling, prophecies, the future, fate, and magic!
Huh?
l'm sorry. l just remembered something unpleasant, so...
No, l'm sorry too.
Why don't we call it a night? Huh? Oh, l guess.
l'm really sorry. Don't worry about it, Yuki. l didn't mean you...
lt's all right. l understand.
What's important right now is that you get some rest so you feel better.
Everything is normal in the Kerberos district of the restricted section D-13.
And nothing particularly abnormal by the Bay Bridge.
Lebia, don't you feel it?
Then this is...
Right. The fierceness of these waves.
And their numbers...Lebia!
We were being careless.
Lebia, are you all right?
l knew you would come, Rally Cheyenne.
l know about you.
Today, l'm just here to give you a warning.
Do not get in our way, for your own good.
That's not a warning. It seems like you're begging.
l waited a long time for Gigelf's blood and power.
Then why don't you hurry and do it?
We are not so foolish as to attack someone guarded by that power.
First, we will have Gigelf's daughter learn the truth...
...and then wait for our chance.
Chief!
Please stand back!
Lebia! Watch out!
Lebia!
A second-rate monster like you should think twice before pissing me off!
Dad...
The great sorcerer Gigelf who had perfected the powers of magic.
What did you do in this city, Dad?
That dream...where was that place?
Mom was calling out to Dad.
Was that my memory?
Mom... Dad...
That red blood... l like it very much.
There was a time when l cursed this blood.
Humans are so self-centered.
They're the ones who guided us to this world.
And the humans broke the agreement.
You're referring to only a few humans.
l will never let you try to kill all the people in this city.
What?
Another enemy?
They got away.
How am l gonna explain that to everyone?
Lebia.
Are you all right?
Chief, where is the Lucifer Hawk?
Sorry. They got away.
Chief, you're hurt!
l'm okay. Your injuries are worse.
No, l'm fine.
Are you sure?
lf this next enemy awakens, it could be a big problem.
Thank you.
Your coffee was delicious.
Katsumi!
Where are you going, so early in the morning?
Well...um...
Oh, of course!
Breakfast, right? Give me a moment. l'll go with you.
You have quite the appetite for someone your size.
You think so?
But breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right?
Besides, l'm still growing.
Why would you wanna get any bigger than you are now?
Katsumi. That pendant...
Huh? Oh. It's my dad's keepsake.
Although l don't remember his face.
You don't?
l'm not surprised that's a keepsake.
You held it tightly and wouldn't let it go even when you were unconscious.
l was holding this?
You're fortunate, Katsumi...
...to have a keepsake and memories of your parents.
But l have bad memories too.
But it's better than nothing.
l have nothing.
Yuki. We'll part ways here.
What do you mean?
lf you stay too close to me, you'll find yourself in all kinds of trouble.
Besides, l need to get back to my hometown.
You're lying! Katsumi, the truth is...
The truth is... l...
l don't think l'll ever learn to like this city.
l have no friends or acquaintances here.
You're wrong!
There are people here who are important to you!
Thank you. Bye.
Katsumi, wait!
One person has come out.
What? It's too early. It must be someone else.
We'll know right away.
lt's confirmed. That's Katsumi.
There she goes bustling about this early in the morning.
l can't even eat my breakfast in peace!
Hey Kiddy!
You mustn't throw away your trash here!
Nami!
How dare you! Stop it!
U-Um...
Leave me alone. Please.
Just stay away from me.
But, your...
l'm not the kinda person you think l am.
lf you continue sticking to me, you'll get hurt.
Why is that? Why?
Why are you throwing everything away, Katsumi?
Why do you insist on dying?
l know what you're thinking.
But l don't like it. It's not right.
You deny your existence and live in your memories.
Katsumi, you are very important to me!
l like you very much!
Chief!
You should be taking the day off.
You may not realize it, but l'm quite busy.
How's your shoulder? Does it hurt?
l've wrapped the wound so it's a bit stiff, but it doesn't hurt.
Good.
What about Katsumi?
Right, Kiddy and Nami have been on her since this morning.
Who's this girl?
Right, her name is Yuki Saiko.
She's been with Katsumi since last night.
Gather whatever data is available on her, just in case.
Sure. Please give me a minute.
What's the matter?
lt seems there are people who don't want us finding out about her.
l'll disable the block.
What is it?
There's significant protection on the data.
lt's likely a very large organization.
The government? Probably.
lPER Project. Do you know of it?
Yeah. l've heard rumors about it.
Mind wave enhancement through genetic manipulation.
lf l remember correctly, that project was abolished a number of years ago.
l'll check into it myself.
Don't tell anyone about this.
Yes, l understand.
Here you are, Katsumi.
Thank you.
ls this place really okay?
Yes. At first sight, it's the same as the restricted areas...
...but it is on the outside.
Being as it is, people don't come here.
After all, if you step into a restricted area, the police would come flying to catch you.
We wouldn't be able to talk like this.
l'm an orphan.
So l have no idea what my parents look like.
l don't have the experience of having them play with me, or scold me.
But one thing l do remember well is that large bridge.
l think l lived in this neighborhood when l was small.
Every single day l would look at that bridge.
l told myself that good things would happen if l crossed it.
There would be many fun things.
There would be wonderful encounters.
And l'd find many nice friends.
l know your secret, Katsumi.
What?
You grind your teeth a lot while you're asleep.
That's the first time you laughed!
The Katsumi l know the one l saw in the future! re...
...always had a wonderful smile.
That story again?
lf you don't stop it, l may end up hating you.
Huh? Come on!
Don't worry, l'm kidding. Really? What a relief.
What's the matter, Katsumi?
l know this bridge. l always saw it too.
Katsumi.
Katsumi!
A little further down.
Looks like she's finally arrived.
lt appears so.
lt's checkmate at last.
This is the place. l'm certain.
What's the matter, Katsumi?
l was looking at the bridge from here, together with Mom.
Katsumi, this house...
This place...
(PICTURE)
lt says Hazuki.
Hazuki...
Fukuya Hazuki. That's Mom's maiden name.
Before she got together with Dad.
Her name before she married.
Then is this Mom's home?
No way. What is this?
Katsumi!
Don't go inside!
Huh? Why not? What do you mean?
Um, anyway, you must not go in.
What?! Is this some vision of yours again?
My mom used to live here!
And l've lived here too!
What could possibly be inside?
l don't know what we'll find in here...
...but there may be memories of my mom and my dad in here...
...that far outweigh any dangers!
But...um...
l'm sorry, Yuki. l'll be fine.
l'll be right back.
Katsumi!
This room...
Mom's photo.
lt's addressed to Mom! From Dad?!
l doubt l'll ever be able to return to you two again.
Should my body be ripped apart by the claws of a Lucifer Hawk...
...l would have been rightfully punished.
Should my body disintegrate...
...It would still not compensate for the crimes l have committed.
Fuyuka.
When Katsumi' awakens to her powers...
...hand her my pendant.
l've even burdened Katsumi' with the destiny to be the key.
My destiny?
Yes.
Gigelf entrusted you with the last of his magic when you were a baby.
Who are you?
A monster?
What would you do if l were?
You guys planted this letter!
How could we touch anything within Gigelf's barrier protecting this house?
Acknowledge the truth, Katsumi Liqueur.
You, as well as us are Gigelf's victims.
Would you please make use of your powers for our good?
Fine! Do as you wish!
Kill me if you'd like.
l have nothing in this city.
No place to go, and no one to see.
You're a pathetic fool...
...willingly throwing away the protection given to you from your parents.
Humans are strange.
They continue protecting their loved ones, even after death.
They can now come to greet you with nothing to fear.
l will not kill you.
You will become one with us and live in darkness through eternity.
Katsumi went in there and hasn't come out!
Huh? Um, we're...
l know! You are Katsumi's friends, right?!
Yes.
l'll go ahead!
Kiddy!
Looks like we were a little too late.
No way! Where's Katsumi?!
How should l know? That selfish girl.
l'll go check the other rooms just in case.
Nami. Report to the Chief.
Katsumi...
l see. l understand.
l'm sorry that we weren't...
No, l know what they're after.
Go to the Bay City district of area D-13 at once.
Roger.
Chief.
l'll go there too.
How's your shoulder doing?
Well, my right shoulder's still bothering me a bit, but...
Very well.
l'll have Dewey go there.
l'll have you provide support from here.
Huh?
And l want you to use that system.
l understand.
l'll need 20 minutes to set and locate the target, and to charge the machine.
Thanks. l'm counting on you.
Don't mention it. It's for a colleague...for a friend.
Katsumi. Judge for yourself.
The meaning of battle... and magic.
Where am l?
What is this?
Are you awake?
Why, that's right.
You do not know what happened here.
Watch closely...
...and regret living on forever.
Those are our friends who got stuck within the warp of time-space...
...when the gate to Nemesis suddenly closed.
Can't you hear them?
The voices of those who have awakened after sensing your power.
But they can't move.
They've been teasing the humans by sending curses on the wind.
But you know, if we have your blood and power...
...our friends will be resurrected.
That listless expression is good.
That listlessness is something that will be necessary for you from now on.
lf you're gonna bear a grudge against anyone...
...bear one against your father who gave you all of that. Do that, and...
This gun is different from anything in the past.
lt's the Graviton!
You keep getting in our way.
They're here to save me?
Katsumi!
Get away from there, quick! You'll get caught in the blast!
Katsumi!
NOOO!
Katsumi, over here!
Yuki!
Are you all right? l'll bring it closer!
Dewey!
Yes, just a moment.
Get in!
Dewey, okay!
Fasten your seat belts.
Well done. Let's go, Nami.
Lebia, you're good to go.
Okay, Kiddy.
Louie, have you located the target?
Already completed.
We will begin our countdown.
Go ahead.
Ten seconds to go. All clear.
Trigger timing to Miss Lebia.
Thank you.
Marker on!
The bridge is gone.
Yuki, why do something so dangerous just to save me...?
Because you're an important friend of mine, Katsumi. It's only natural.
Yuki...
Are you two all right?
No way! They're still alive?
How dare you do that to our friends.
Come to think of it there's another.
Yuki, run away, quick!
Katsumi.
Here...
Thank you, Yuki.
lt's an important item to you.
Damn you...
Very well then.
lf you're eager to give up your life, l'll take it for you.
Damn it.
Kiddy!
Nami, take those two and escape.
Hurry up. Nami, take them.
Right!
You're not getting away! None of you!
That person's body...
Now, hurry!
Kiddy!
l will not forgive you, after what you did to Kiddy!
NO!
Are you in pain, Katsumi?
But you must realize, we've had to endure a lot more pain.
Stop it!
l will not kill you, because you are the all-important living key.
First...
No way. The sacred water...
You shall see the end of those who turned our friends into ashes.
Stop it! Stop it!
Now, come to our world.
Why? Why is everyone helping me at such a great cost?
Wait! Don't take Katsumi!
Katsumi is an important friend of mine!
l...no, we all like Katsumi!
We need Katsumi!
So...so, don't take her!
Don't take Katsumi...
Well, let's go.
Unfortunately, l've always had a problem with giving up.
l'm not letting you take the princess.
Damn humans!
You still insist on getting in our way?!
That's right.
Katsumi's annoying, but l kinda like her.
This time l'll finish you off for sure.
Stop it!
Don't hurt my friends anymore!
You needn't be afraid of your powers.
All things in this world have a spirit living within them.
No way!
l hoped that you could live your life...
...peacefully and happily, as an ordinary woman. But...
Go, Katsumi'. Go and fight with your fate.
Dad...Mom...
Use your heart to communicate with the spirits...
...and give instructions on exerting power.
That's what magic is.
You must become strong. Become strong enough to protect the ones you love.
Your father and l will be watching...forever...
There are people who say that they like even a person like me.
People who need me.
l wanna be able to love those people!
l wanna protect them, using everything that l have!
With the use of magic!
So you're saying you won't come to Nemesis with me?
l won't go!
l will never again run away from this real world!
No matter what may happen!
l see. That's a shame!
The five stars of protection surround me with their flame!
The six stars of protection shimmer in a pillar of light!
Mom, Dad...
Right now, l am about to willingly use magic for the first time.
The power to this barrier... ! Impossible!
The stream of my power...
l can hear the voice of the spirits...
This is...
This is magic!
This can't be happening. This...power...
Ater marcto ve gepura ve dedura orum!
Amen!
Purify all evil within this light!
You will regret this, Katsumi.
l did it, Mom.
l defeated the Lucifer Hawk.
l protected my friends...
...with magic.
Mom, l'll be on my way.
Net open to normal police!
As of nineteen hours and thirteen minutes this is now a category three case...
...classified as a Third Attraction.
Present situation, rank C.
This case is now under AMP's command.
To my front...Raphael.
To my rear...Gabriel.
To my right hand, Michael.
And to my left hand, Uriel.
Ater marcto ve gepura ve dedura orum! Amen!
Did she get it?
l almost had it. Kiddy, the Graviton!
Katsumi. You still have a ways to go.
l'm just getting started. Just watch me.
A heartbreaking night is coming
To a place that overlooks the city
Unable to trust each other after two thousand years
Why do people still welcome tomorrow?
The swirling winds are murmuring
lt sounds like a nostalgic voice
Sleep now, you will surely meet them in the morning
lf you are willing to love someone
Battles are always for oneself, ah
They are not for hurting others
Even though l was so depressed, ah
l was able to refrain from running away
Because l came to know you
(PICTURE)
Battles are always for oneself, ah
They are not for hurting others
Wiping a tear somewhere on Earth, ah
Hoping this will somehow reach a friend
l will surely pledge this to the skies
(PICTURE)
