TAKE DOWN THE BUSJACKER

Sir!

We've heard back from HQ.

We've gained clues on where Bus B is,

so Team A has been ordered to stand by until it's found.

Apparently, Division 1 didn't like drastic measures being taken, so they're meddling.

Tch. Stupid lapdogs of the politicians.

Looks like we're in this for the long haul.

If you've gotta go, tell me now.

I'll let you go in the bushes over there.

Only one at a time, though.

We have to go in the bushes?

Here! Me! I need to go!

Don't even think about running away.

I'd never do that when Lord Damian has a bomb strapped to his neck!

Someone's coming out again.

Should we cue the snipers?

No. If we're gonna take them out,

we need to do it all at once, or this is going to become a pain.

This is so degrading... How embarrassing.

If you find something like this embarrassing, you kids truly are privileged.

You should thank your parents.

Where's my precious little Becky?!

Master! It's too dangerous! Please stay in the car!

No civilians past this point.

But I'm the CEO of Blackbell!

Martha?

Henry! What are you doing here?

Of course I am here. My class is in there.

We just arrived, as well.

Even if you're here, there's nothing you could possibly do.

How are the students doing?

They're still inside.

It's a standstill while they wait for the government to act.

I'm not certain the children will hold out if this lasts too long.

Sir, are you okay?

I can't do this anymore.

Come save us already.

I'm tired.

Why is this happening to me?

I'm thirsty.

I wanna go home.

What are the police doing? Are they stupid?

I'm at my limit.

Hurry and get here.

I wonder if my parents and Martha are here yet.

The council hasn't responded yet?!

We're currently in the process of filling out various paperwork for three inmates

being held in Previt Correctional Center.

Just give us a little more time.

Also, I'd like to confirm if the hostages are all right.

Please let us deliver food and water to them.

Fine.

But only one of you can bring the supplies over.

And no police.

It has to be someone from the school.

I'm sure they're back there.

Let's have our personal chef deliver them the finest cuisine.

What nonsense are you talking about?

That will just agitate the suspects even more.

We have rations in the car. Use those.

Inspector!

I will disguise myself as an instructor and make the delivery.

Yes.

Wait!

What do you plan to do if your cover is blown?

I will go.

I want to put the students' minds at ease.

Master Henderson!

Is everyone all right?

Master Henderson!

Don't move, you brats!

Calm down, all of you.

If you are truly Eden College students, you must be resolute at all times.

Do not worry. You will all be fine.

I'm so sorry. I was with them, and I couldn't do anything.

Mr. Austin!

We need to get him to the hospital!

No. He's an important hostage.

Then I'll stay in his stead.

I'm sure a feeble old man like myself poses no threat to you.

That fool...

That must be the bomb on his neck that the police mentioned.

Miss Forger has one, as well!

Teacher!

How diabolical.

Sit.

Did they all get food and water?

You may not be hungry right now,

but try to eat while you can to preserve your energy.

Hey, no one gave you permission to speak.

Yay! Anya was just getting hungry.

Such nerves of steel!

Dancing with death over and over to get brave!

So she wasn't kidding?!

Hey! This is our product!

Papa and the others must be here!

Becky's family that dominates the world is here?

I wouldn't say we dominate, but we are very strong!

I bet they're gonna use tanks and stuff to blow them all away!

Uh, then we'd get blown away, too.

This doesn't taste like anything.

Yeah.

It doesn't taste good.

You shouldn't be complaining at a time like this!

Yeah! Stop complaining about my family's stuff!

It's neither good nor bad.

Er... why do they all seem so calm?

Did they not need me?

Do you have any children?

One daughter.

If you know what it means to care for a child,

then won't you consider returning them to their parents?

You have no right involving these innocent children in something like this.

My daughter...

was killed by the government.

She was one of us.

Since you're an educator, I'm sure you know that

the Red Circus started out as a student movement advocating for freedom and equality.

We were just raising our voices to protect the weakest members of society.

We were a respectable movement that fought for our cause in respectable ways.

But the government suppressed us with violence.

So I'm not about to take any criticism from the establishment.

I'll make sure they reap what they've sown.

Bus tire tracks.

Found them!

Biddy!

Hm?

You participated in another student protest, didn't you?

You need to stop. It's dangerous to get involved with those shady characters.

What are you talking about, Dad?

The Red Circus isn't some shady group.

But I heard members were arrested the other day.

We haven't done anything wrong.

That doesn't matter!

The government is desperate to suppress any protests.

One wrong move, and you're in for a serious injury or worse!

I'm just worried about you...

I'm not afraid.

I'm not afraid to die for what I believe in.

I'm much more afraid to live in a world where you can't say something is wrong

when it clearly is!

There are so many people suffering even now because the government is being negligent!

You're just a child! You don't understand anything!

The world isn't that simple!

Whatever! If you're going to say that, then you're the enemy, too!

You're evil!

So worrying about my family...

makes me evil?

I'm very sorry, Billy.

We're lucky we even got her body back at all.

Since you're her father, the State Security Service has its eye on you, too.

You should leave the country. The Circus will make the arrangements.

How long do we gotta keep this up?

Shouldn't we just contact the other bus and get out of this deadlock situation?

We're limiting contact to keep their location a secret.

Their hostages are our biggest advantage right now.

Six targets.

They should know that Bus A has been surrounded, yet look at these careless fools.

These amateurs.

We'll make our move once they all move away from the bus.

The leader over here is probably the guy with the beard.

The rest of them can be eliminated as necessary.

Don't give them even a moment to radio anything out.

Berta Team ready.

Cäsar Team ready.

All the windows on the bus are closed.

All teams ready. Prepare the tear gas.

Let's go!

What's going on?!

The police?

Get back to the bus!

Use the kids as shields—

Resistance confirmed.

Damn it!

A man your age has some nerve hiding behind a bunch of kids.

Real... friggin' mature!

Confirm that everyone on the bus is safe.

Berta Team, sweep the area just in case.

We have one wounded.

Ow, ow, ow, ow!

Ow! Be gentler! Please!

Stay still!

Damn it! Today has to be an unlucky day!

Why do I have to go through so much pain for the stupid leash girl of all people?!

I said be gentle, damn it!

When this man's motivation is low, his pain threshold is even lower.

Captain.

They've taken control of Bus B,

and all of the hostages on that bus have been safely rescued.

I see.

Maybe this'll light a fire under the butts of the higher-ups.

I see.

Yes, understood.

I've just received orders to transfer command of the situation to you.

I need you to sign this authorization.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I assure you that we will resolve this very quickly.

Hmm...

I'd better make it seem like we at least "tried a peaceful resolution" first.

Members of the Red Circus, can you hear me?

All of your friends on the other bus are now dead.

It seems that your plan wasn't very well thought out.

It's only a matter of time before we catch all your comrades who fled from Papier Park, too.

If you don't want to meet the same end as your friends, why don't you just surrender?

I'll give you until sunrise.

Think over it carefully.

You can't be serious!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

We failed?

Don't give up so easily!

She's right! Wake the hell up, Billy!

We're going to save our comrades and revive the Circus, aren't we?!

We're going to destroy this rotten country, aren't we?!

At this rate, you won't be able to avenge your daughter, either!

You're right...

There's no way in hell we're going to surrender!

It's no use. Billy's completely chickening out.

We can't rely on him.

If all else fails, I'll have to take matters into my own hands.

Just like I originally planned, if this all goes to shit...

I'll blow this bus up and all the hostages with it!

There's a real bomb?!

Ideally, I would've preferred to ram the state council building.

But now I'll just settle for blowing everyone to kingdom come

as soon as the strike force comes charging in!

... 'em all.

Kill 'em all.

Filthy vermin of our country.

The State Security Service's guard regiment?!

Prepare to storm the bus.

Hey, wait. You just told them they had until sunrise.

Do you really think they'll comply?

We will strike them under the cover of night.

We don't have any more time to waste on these lunatics.

All teams, get to your positions.

If at all possible, take their leader, Billy Squire, alive.

Also, try to keep hostage casualties to a minimum.

The secret police people are getting closer?

What should I do? At this rate, we're all gonna go kablooey!

H-Hey!

Oh, hello. Is this Eden College?

Yes, that's right.

O-Our daughter... hasn't come home yet.

Um, her name is Anya Forger, and she's in Class 1-3.

Their field trip is running long?

Er, but...

All right. I understand.

Oh, hello.

I'm looking for Sharon. Do I have the right number?

Oh, what did you need, Yor?

Huh? My kid came home ages ago.

Also, the field trip today was canceled, wasn't it?

Was that just my kid's class?

What?

What do you want?

The bathroom? You're gonna have to hold it.

Um...

I marched out here, but now I'm in trouble because I dunno what to say.

Some big, burly guys are gonna bust in here soon,

so you need to give up before that!

What? Darn it! Then we gotta blow us up right now!

No... I can't say that.

Wh-What's wrong, Forger?

Go back to your seat.

I-If we have dinner time again, those mister police officers should stop.

A-Anya is already hungry again, so she would like her next snack, please.

You've got...

...to be kidding me!

Steel... Nay, tungsten!

She has nerves of tungsten!

Don't get cocky, you little brat!

I told you!

If you don't want your head flying off—

I'm not scared.

Anya's not scared of this bomb.

Anya is much more scared of dying without saying anything!

This bomb is a fake, but at this rate, we'll all go kablooey!

I'm not afraid to die for what I believe in.

Biddy...

I-It's all right.

You won't die from missing a single meal. All right?

Not okays.

At this rate, everyone is in trouble.

I'm fairly certain everyone is not that hungry.

There are so many people suffering even now!

At this rate, there'll even be some people who won't survive the winter...

Shut up... Shut your mouth.

I won't give up...

Even if I die.

E-Even if Anya... di...

You! Shut up right now!

Don't!

Get off the bus!

You're the only one I'm setting free!

What the hell are you saying, Billy?! Are you insane?!

I can feel my resolve wavering with her around.

So he'll stop doing bad things if Anya is around?

Then...

I won't get off!

What?! You won't?!

I know the only thing you privileged people care about is yourselves!

Isn't that how you all are?!

Now, get off the bus!

They're all...

That bomb. Put it on my neck instead!

I'd never do that when Lord Damian has a bomb strapped to his neck!

No! I wanna eat more of the snackies from earlier!

I wanna eat them! I wanna eat them! I wanna eat them!

Don't tell me...

Is it possible that she's not being fed much at home?

Is she more afraid of starving at home than dying in a blast?

Wh-When did I get the wrong idea that everyone at Eden College was privileged?

She said everyone would be in trouble.

Does she mean they're all like that?!

Even the Desmond family?!

Did Ostania's economy suffer that badly while I was hiding outside the country?!

Have all these kids actually been suffering?

Is she doing this for all of their sakes, even if her head might get blown off?!

Why? Why are you so determined to get everyone food?

Huh? Um...

To create a world where children won't have to cry!

That's so noble!

But you're a child yourself!

Are you saying that by labeling you all as privileged,

I'm the one who was furthering inequality?

Hey, what's wrong with you, Billy?!

Did you forget about your daughter?!

Let's teach 'em all what it's like to lose their kids!

That's what true equality is!

I would never forget...

No, wait.

That's right. I did forget.

Biddy! You're hurt! What happened?!

I tried to feed the neighborhood kitties, but it was awful!

The big ones kept trying to steal the little ones' food!

Stop that! You've already had plenty to eat!

And then this happened to me.

You know it's all about survival of the fittest with animals.

Just leave them be.

I know I'm being meddlesome.

I know that, but I just can't stand to see anyone crying.

Wait! Did you take food from our pantry?!

Tee-hee.

Don't "Tee-hee" me!

You know we barely have enough for ourselves!

Sheesh...

Just so you know, you're the one who raised me like this, Dad.

"Be the giver, not the taker."

"Don't hold each other down. Help each other up."

It's because you taught me that...

that I'm so proud to be who I am.

I had forgotten... no.

I didn't want my rage or my reason to live to weather away...

so I pretended to forget.

We don't have time to hesitate, Billy!

Hurry up and—

Billy!

Hey, Billy!

All teams, halt!

X-1 has come out.

I always knew that the Red Circus's methods were wrong.

But still, I couldn't stop.

But I can't...

I can't...

let my daughter die for a second time.

I still want to remain as her father.

I surrender.

Why, though?!

You can't be serious, Billy!

Come back here! Right now!

I'm the one who planned all this.

The other two were just following my orders because I threatened them.

I ask that you be lenient with them.

No way! No way in hell!

God damn it!

Vadim, don't!

Armored vehicles, now!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

They'll never take me alive!

Oh, noes!

Forger!

Anya!

The third one came out!

Shoot him dead.

No! You'll hit the child!

Move, damn it! Back off!

Doesn't matter. Take aim.

Roger—

Are you all right, Miss Anya?

Becky's lady!

My name is Martha Marriott.

A-Arrest them! Arrest all of the suspects!

The bus is clear.

Make sure all the hostages are safe and accounted for.

That zappy gun is awesome!

It's a new taser from Blackbell Industries.

Anya!

Oh.

Thank goodness!

Breaking news.

This morning, buses carrying students from Eden College

were hijacked by a group calling themselves the Red Circus.

Law enforcement quickly gained control of the situation, and all suspects are now in custody.

ANYA'S ERA HAS COME
