Starting the infiltration.

That bomb?!

An unexploded bomb.

Eek!

But I've sealed it, so it's fine now.

Ramlethal Valentine. Acting under the orders of the United King,

she and Elphelt are tasked with guarding the sealed barrier.

This is the spell formula to lift the barrier.

Could that be a clue?

Maybe we could catch the mastermind ourselves!

Go on... I can handle things here alone.

Then I, Elphelt Valentine...

am off to catch the big bad villain!

Stop right there.

I recommend you surrender. I'm far stronger than a human.

Told you so.

Hello, Jack-O'?

There's something I wanted to ask... Have you heard anything about us lately?

Yeah... We were guarding the seal, but someone attacked the site just now.

Elphelt Valentine.

A creation of the higher being known as the Universal Will...

one of the Valentine series...

Recently started a band.

You're talking about the tech used to break the Thunderseal's barrier...

In that case, we should be able to track it down quickly.

That's what I thought, but no luck. I even asked around, and nothing.

No researchers have gone missing or anything either.

It's like they just dropped out of the sky all of a sudden...

An unknown genius, huh?

Do you have any leads?

Just one anonymous tip we received from someone.

Sounds like a trap.

Right?

But when someone plays you like this, you can't help but get curious.

So I...

I'm going to dive in.

You need to look someone in the eye and speak from the heart...

or your feelings won't get through, right?

How's everything on your end?

Same as you... I've been digging into this case too.

Just tracked down the ones stirring up the anti-Gear demonstrations.

They're using weapons from the military's special forces.

Wait, if it's the military, does that mean the president's behind this?

I doubt it...

We're starting to get stretched thin here...

That weird feeling...

What was that?

Huh?

What's that?

Science.

Sol noticed a unique electromagnetic wave emitted whenever Unika uses magic

and built a device to detect it.

In this era where science has declined,

detection through electromagnetic waves is a blind spot.

It's old tech...

Back in the day, it went out of control... and was abandoned.

Mr. Sol Badguy, Mr. Sin Kiske,

By order of the president, we've come to escort you.

Please come with us.

We're in the middle of something!

P-Please wait!

Tch!

Hang on tight.

Target on the move. Charlie, circle around and block the route!

Hehehe...

Having a bit of trouble, are we?

You really saved our butts, old man. My name is Sin Kiske!

Senator Nerville, anti-Gear hardliner.

What's this about?

I'm a politician. My job is to meet and talk.

Hey... You're against Gears, right?

So... what does that feel like?

The very existence of Gears is too dangerous for humanity.

But you don't know that for sure.

You're from a generation that doesn't remember the Crusades.

Still... you're right. That's exactly why we're having this conversation.

If I'm to judge whether Sin Kiske, a Gear, is dangerous...

then talking to you face-to-face is the only place to start, don't you think?

Face-to-face, huh... Yeah, that makes sense.

This is fine. Let us off.

A handshake. It's a gesture of respect.

I will likely become your enemy...

But not out of hatred.

I want you to remember that.

Got it!

Huh... So there are some decent folks even among the anti-Gear crowd.

Don't take him seriously.

Man, you're so cynical, Old Man.

Thanks for worrying about me, Ram.

But you know what?

A band travels the world in search of fans they haven't met yet!

Hello? Is anyone here?

Used up and thrown out... Horrible.

No traps detected in the area...

Which means...

This is where she's hiding?

No sane person would come out here. Perfect place to lay low.

What the hell are you doing here?

We're looking for someone. A girl named Unika.

She's got wings like this.

You guys cops or something?

Just bounty hunters.

You're an eyesore.

Do what you came to do, and get lost.

Old Man.

Sir Sol Badguy of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights...

We were able to live to see the end of the Crusades thanks to you.

But... What brings you to a place like this?

Ah-uh, well...

I saw her! An angel with wings.

She flew toward that building over there!

Are you going to fight the angel?

Nah... We're just gonna talk.

I believe Gears and humans can get along.

Those born after the Crusades will never understand that suffering.

And they don't need to.

You really think another Crusade's gonna happen?

If you don't stay sharp, who will?

Huh?! Me?

You're a Command-Type Gear, aren't you?

Justice, the Command-Type Gear who led the Gear rebellion and started the Crusades.

You and Dizzy carry that bloodline.

Yeah, I know...

So, wait... If I told that Gear to move, they would?

Don't you ever try it.

I won't!

But like... If another Crusade was about to start, I could just tell them to stop, right?

Then why not just tell Unika and that politician guy?!

Frederick, can you hear me?

I figured out Unika's next target.

It's Illyria.

This is footage we just recovered.

Whoa, this is...

A magic weapon from the Crusades.

The access key?

Looks like a demonstration.

Attacking the End-of-War Commemoration Festival was probably all part of the plan.

Now she's threatening to drop it on Illyria next.

What are their demands?

There are demands, but they're all absurd.

They probably intended to launch it from the start.

Also... we lost contact with Elphelt after she headed out toward that location.

El's in danger?!

You two be careful too.

Got it.

You think El's okay?

She's a Valentine too. She's tougher than she looks.

Still... Unika's really planning to burn down Illyria?

She can't be serious, right?

On behalf of the United Kingdom of Illyria,

we thank the United States for assisting.

That said, I was told the access key to the magic weapon was successfully protected...

It looks like it was copied in the brief moment it was taken.

A terrifying bit of tech...

According to intel from Jack-O',

a special forces unit reporting to the president

was involved with the anti-Gear movement.

Someone on the inside is feeding them information.

We've got a skilled bounty hunter tracking Unika now.

Hm? Not Sol?

We tried to retrieve him, but someone interfered.

They've outplayed us at every turn.

It's about time we took the flight back. For the sake of the people.

That's exactly what we intend to do.

A nationwide evacuation order has just been issued across Illyria.

All citizens, please evacuate immediately. I repeat...

All citizens, please evacuate immediately.

That's the place.

Go. I'll cover you.

Got it.

Father...

Unika!

You've done enough!

What are you talking about?

You don't have to kill so many people...

You don't have to do something so sad!

No matter how many sacrifices it takes...

It's nothing compared to the extinction of humanity.

Let tragedy be the lesson!

By humanity being wiped out...

you mean war between Gears and humans, right?

Then don't worry... I'll stop the Crusade!

Because I'm a Gear!

A Gear? You?

Yeah, my old man told me...

I'm some kinda super Gear or whatever... So.

Stop! I didn't come here to fight!

Then perish where you stand!

That's... Sin's...

Keep your eyes open...

Or you'll miss the chance to save lives that can be saved.

Stop, Unika!

Listen to me!

If you keep defending the Gears, another Crusade will happen!

Damn you!

I said stop!

You still don't get it, do you!?

In the future... humanity won't be the victors!

Th... That's not true...

The Crusade... I'll...

I'll stop it!

What

can you possibly do?!

Just stop already... okay?

Shut up!

Go away!

I told you! I didn't come here to fight!

You want to stop the Crusade, don't you?

But this...

This isn't how you do it!

There's no other way...

There isn't!

If we all worked together...

We might actually have a shot!

You don't have to do this alone!

Not again!

Mom... Dad...

Your life is worth more than theirs.

Father...

Unika... You are my precious daughter.

I... I...

Unika!

I... I'm not alone!

Tch. You idiot...

That's a reinforced plastic round.

Your electromagnetic barrier can't block that.

Unika...

U... Uni... ka...

I saw it! He controlled a Gear!

Yeah, I saw it too!

A m-monster!

Clear the way!

What're you doing?!

Stay out of the way, you squatters.

The hell did you just say?!

Seriously?

You all need to cool your heads!

This ain't your fight to begin with.

I was called in to back them up, but the president's army...

What, are they reckless enough to start spraying bullets everywhere they go?!

What the hell are you doing here, showoff?

I've got a soft spot for married women.

Just like Vernon said...

If this had been revealed, we would've been in serious trouble.

Yeah, we made it in time.

She's hurt, but she's alive.

You really saved us. I owe you one.

Well then, miss... Care to join me for a cup of tea?

You're... the one from the End-of-War Commemoration Festival, right?
