My body starts to melt

It was waiting for this miracle

009

You've got the chance to express you

Here comes the imagination

Time, place

Truth and lies

Joy and sorrow

Kindness, hateness

Happiness, sadness

Smile, tears, friendship

Alone, together, birth

Death, sleep, fight

Space and oneself

In that promised place

I feel it once again

The spreading of a dream that's come true

I start running today too

Thank...

What's wrong?

Part 1

Episode 39: The New Assassins

So Black Ghost wasn't destroyed.

Certainly, there were survivors.

Black Ghost is eternal!

That's obvious. I'm doing it for the glory of Black Ghost.

I didn't want to believe it, but...

What kind of move are they going to make?

Chinese Restaurant Chang Changku

The kitchen's cleaned up.

Did you arrange the ingredients?

We have to close up in a hurry here. Everyone's already gathered.

It's all done.

But I'm reluctant to go over there.

I bet we're gonna get sucked into another mission.

What are you talking about?!

Be sure to lock the doors, too.

Yeah, yeah.

Sheesh, you're a slave driver.

Whoa. Sir, we're closed for the night...

H-Hey.

H-He's injured!

Hey, call for an ambulance!

Right!

W-Wait.

I'm not hurt that badly.

I'm on the run and just needed a place for a few...

On the run?

Black Ghost...

What?!

H-Hey! Hey!

He's stabilized now.

It was mostly just terrible exhaustion.

If he really was on the run from Black Ghost, then who is he?

A cyborg?

Nah, it wouldn't be that, right?

He's human.

W-What's wrong?!

W-What's happening?!

H-Hey, get a hold of yourself!

007!

I-Is he dead?

What happened?

He's gone.

Psychokinesis.

What's that?

Someone with psionic powers was around.

Psionic powers?!

003!

Wait. Something's in the sky.

It's the Dolphin!

The Dolphin?! It can't be!

No, it could be the Black Phantom.

Like the Dolphin, it's an almighty warship.

Then it is Black Ghost!

Let's pursue them in the Dolphin!

003, can you still see them?

No, they're gone.

But I know they were heading north!

Is this a communication device in the form of a watch?

One of his colleagues may try to contact him.

I'll hold on to it.

I hope that turns out to be a clue, but is there anything else?

Also... This is about it.

Saint Petersburg...

That man had this ticket?

Yes.

As I suspected, Russian...

You suspected?

008, set a course for Russia.

Saint Petersburg.

Roger!

A psychic, Black Ghost...

Is that alone too thin to make a connection with that man?

You know, you stand out wherever we go.

What can I say?

It wasn't a compliment. We stick out when we're supposed to be

secretly searching for a clue to Black Ghost.

We don't have to worry about that.

I'm sure they'll come after us, even if we keep quiet.

You think Black Ghost will come after us?

That's what the doctor predicts.

If they find out we've come here, I doubt they'll just stand by and do nothing.

I suspect they let that young man come to us before killing him

so we would know it was them.

Then they lured us here?

I don't know if they thought it out that far, but they didn't keep us from coming.

009.

Yes?

It wasn't me.

Wait, someone just called out to me, too.

And again.

What's wrong?

Did you hear something?

Telepathy?!

009, 003.

Again.

It's telepathy.

The art museum?

Inside.

I've been waiting for you, 009 and 003.

Where? Where are you?

Don't worry. I'm not going to attack you here.

What you're thinking is correct. I'm from Black Ghost.

I was ordered to defeat you.

But you have a choice.

A choice?

You could make the choice to return to Black Ghost.

There is still someone within Black Ghost who values your powers.

We'll never go back.

Oh. You didn't even have to think about that response, huh?

Then you leave us with just one choice.

Wait! Why are you with Black Ghost?

Were you kidnapped? Like we were?

I don't think we can answer that.

Why not?

We don't have any memories before being with Black Ghost.

Everyone, hurry to the west side of the canal!

001!

You'll find the Norstein Bridge.

Let's all meet there!

So what's gonna start here?

Has 001 said anything else?

Not yet.

Someone claiming to be with Black Ghost appeared,

but vanished as soon as we got the message from 001.

One appeared in front of you too?

You too?!

Our visitor said some crap about us going back to Black Ghost.

I see. And we all refused, which was the signal for war.

But then what about 001's voice from before?

You're all obedient, I see.

I thought maybe you'd be a little more suspicious.

A trap?!

But of course. Telepathic voice imitation!

Who are you people?

As I told you before, we don't bear a personal grudge against you, but...

After all this time, they're sending more assassins after us?!

And you're the only one who looks the part.

There's also a child and a couple of young ladies, huh?

Seems Black Ghost has a staffing shortage.

Crude opponents...

002 is the only crude one!

That's right! What do you mean by tarring me with the same brush?!

What was that?!

D-Did you do that?!

Psionic power?!

Don't, 002!

Interesting.

002, don't!

Bastard! And I thought you were just a kid!

002!

Stop it!

Stop it?

You're the ones who rejected the path of no conflict.

002, wait!

Don't shoot them!

You don't shoot humans?

I don't think this is the time to take the high ground.

There's no need to be considerate.

Either way, you can't use your weapons against us.

Go to hell!

002!

You see? You couldn't use it.

Dammit! We don't wanna hold back fighting these guys.

My jaw... My jaw...

Lumbering ox...

Teleportation?

No, it's that Acceleration Mode, isn't it?

You said you didn't have a grudge against us.

Up to now, it was the same way with the majority of our foes.

Can't you refuse your orders?

With all the power you have, and you're still fully human!

Can't you choose to leave Black Ghost and start your lives over together?!

Speaking for myself, I just enjoy fighting.

As a cyborg, you have a superior defense system built in,

so you've probably forgotten the joy of battle.

If we're robbed of our psychic force field,

our defenses are the same as any average human.

The risks in battle are much higher for us than you cyborgs.

But that's what makes it fun.

We said your weapons won't work on us!

Dammit!

Hot-hot-hot-hot!

006!

006!

Who's cooking? Something smells good.

Get a hold of yourself, 006. You're charred.

Teleportation?

No...

How can he keep up with me when I'm accelerating?

Don't be so surprised.

I'm just using psychokinesis to move my body.

At a speed fast enough to catch up with you.

Oh no! It's starting.

Phil...

I think playing tag is silly,

but apparently challenging your Acceleration Mode was part of the plan.

What?

It was all I could do to chase you when you were in Acceleration Mode.

Accuracy of firing attacks decreases when you're zipping around.

So the fastest way to beat you

is by taking you to the limit of your Acceleration Mode.

Dammit!

And yet, if you don't use Acceleration Mode...

Hey, I'm about ready to finish you off.

Escape, 009! Now's your chance!

009, get away!

Kane, come back! It's Phil...

Has it started?

What did you do, 001?

Why was that man in pain?

I put pressure on the post-surgical wound in his head.

It's only temporary, but I can cause damage that way.

How did you know to do it?

Then they're being controlled by...

..Gamo Wisky.

If it weren't for this defect...

00 cyborgs, I swear my mutant soldiers will destroy you next time!

00 cyborgs, I swear my mutant soldiers will destroy you next time!

Long time no see, Gilmore.

My psionic warrior development program was buried

because of the cyborg program you pushed.

I've been waiting for this day.

I'm not doing it for Black Ghost.

You humiliated me, Gamo Wisky,

but now you'll experience the deaths of your cyborgs!
