Aes?

Try me.

Alcos of the Twin Heads?

Why, Aes?!

Answer me!

Why do you always fail to understand my intention?!

How come my voice never reaches you?!

Unfortunately, I'm really not cut out to be a revolutionist.

How feeble!

This is what happens when I heat things up.

I've been waiting for ya.

I'll link up with you soon.

Be sure to get that ready.

Prepare the Anti-Phaser.

METALLIC ROUGE

Chairman, we should hurry!

Rouge!

Brother, stay away!

I haven't seen you in some time,

and look at you, a VIP now, eh?

And you're the same as usual...

Graufon.

We...

...cannot change.

Witness the castle thou hast built...

...turn into shambles by flame.

Your being verbose is just as usual.

Close thy mouth...

...and listen to the sound of doom.

Rouge Redstar!

Thou shalt exchange thy id...

...with this man's life!

Don't you dare touch him!

O poor butcher which is thee.

O killer of one's own.

Hand over thy soul to me.

Jet Black Noir?

Name's Eden Varrock.

I'd love to be called my real name instead.

Eden!

I'll still let you live for now.

Eden!

You're going so far as to sacrifice yourself for someone who kills our own kind?

Is Eva's daughter really that precious to you?

I didn't want to see you like this.

The pieces are all here.

Give me back my brother!

Just the right time.

The Visitors' landing craft?!

Go...

That guy...

He's still alive?!

Jean!

Go, Rouge...

You're from earlier!

I see you can fight in that form now.

Now, fight me!

Out of my way!

So you're in for this now!

Jean!

Enough distractions, Sister.

Why are you in my way?!

That's the spirit, Metal Rouge!

I really must take it into my own hands to take you down!

They're on par with each other?

They're resonating with each other.

So they might actually be sisters...

If we use Anti-Phaser in this situation,

both Rouge and the blue girl will be in danger...

Rouge!

Reverse the output phase!

Reverse the phase! Stop ignoring me!

What nonsense are you talking about?

I told you, enough distractions!

Gah, what are you doing?!

It's because you're yelling inside my head!

Just hurry up!

Listen to what I say! Trust me!

Like hell I could!

Trust me!

No way!

Believe me.

Gosh!

Quit your yapping!

What do you want me to do with the phase?

Reverse!

Concentrate well!

As if you're trying to deform and become a Gladiator again!

Huh?! But I'm already deforming!

Just do it!

Now!

Focus!

Argh!

Focus...

Focus... Focus...

What are you...

Focus... Focus...

How impertinent!

- Focus... - Destroy!

Focus... Focus...

Deform!

What just happened?

Those two...

Their generators when changing into Gladiator Mode...

..have the exact same frequency characteristics.

Huh?

So, if Rouge reverses her frequency phase, and slams her power into the opponent,

it can counterbalance their energies.

I really don't get it.

It just means they cancelled each other's powers.

It's basically the same principle as this Anti-Phaser.

Still, glad it turned out well.

Don't you think it turned out too well?

I could use that now.

There is something...

...I want to tell you.

There's something...

...I want to ask you too.

Jean...

#9 THE ONE WHO VISITED

You made a good pair.

You two should talk about it.

The details on the armed terrorist attack on the Ministry of Truth's HQ last night...

- How's our sleeping princess doing? - are still not clear...

She's still unconscious.

They must be in the gods' place now.

The Visitors aren't gods.

40 years ago,

humanity first made contact with the intelligent extraterrestrial beings.

In other words, aliens.

Even now, they only show their faces...

...to a handful of VIPs.

Despite that, they still give heaps of Over-Technology so generously.

What makes them different from gods?

Well, from a Nean's perspective,

humans who made them...

...are practically gods.

The ones who actually made them are Professor Roy Yunghart,

and Professor Eva Christella.

Not to mention, the first Neans they created...

The Proto Neans...

...are absolutely different from the mass-produced Neans.

The Immortal Nine...

They possess the capabilities to surpass humanity.

They had to make such things...

From what I see, it's just asking for trouble.

Huh? What?!

What are you doing?

Oh, this?

If I don't wear this, they'll find out that I'm not human.

What?

So you're not human?

Naomi Orthmann is not human.

She's a Contact Nean made for the Visitors to make contact with humanity.

And that's me!

Didn't I mention this before?

Not even once...

I guess it's because you never asked?

You're just full of mysteries.

So, what are we doing here?

I told you, didn't I?

There's something I want to tell you.

Enough jumping through loops, just tell me already.

I'm sure they must want to say it in person.

This is no time to be chatting around!

There they are.

Zenoa.

The beings whom humans call the Visitors.

So...

They're mermaids?

We, Zenoa,

once possessed the form similar to humans.

For optimal interstellar travel,

we evolved through generations, and became like this.

Huh? What?

They think you're asking them.

I have brought Rouge Redstar,

codename Metal Rouge, to your presence.

Understood, First.

First? Who?

I am the first Nean made by the Zenoa to imitate the earthlings.

Hence the nickname, First.

She calls herself Naomi Orthmann now.

So your real name is First?

I am Naomi Orthmann.

Huh?

The first Nean...

Wait, how long ago did the Visitors come here, again?

Oh...

What's your point?

I did think you were older than me, but not that much...

What, wanna speak to me formally then?

Relative resonance.

Meaningless concurrence.

Over-synchronise.

By acting together with Rouge Redstar,

First's thought pattern is estimated to have undergone a change.

Yet, her deducing capabilities remain logical.

This does not hamper the mission.

It is logical to bring Rouge Redstar to this ship.

It is logical to visit this ship.

In short, until the case is solved, they need you to stay here.

What?

Your id contains the key to deciphering Code Eve.

Jill...

Sylvia also said the same thing.

Is that true?

Yes.

Which is why keeping you here is safe.

You're locking me up here?

So you're betraying me again?

The Visitors won't interfere with the earthlings,

and they won't limit their actions either.

I'm telling you, you'll be safest here.

Safest, you say?

If you guys won't interfere,

then the Neans and Code Eve have nothing to do with you, right?

It is estimated that the Altar is related to the Usurpers.

If Code Eve activates,

all the Neans will be freed out of control.

With the chaos it brings,

the Visitors think the Usurpers will bring forth another war.

The Usurpers are aiming for this solar system.

They are trying to destroy the Visitors and humanity, aiming for a certain planet.

And Sylvia and the others are also there.

Venus...

Bullseye.

The planet with the most Neans in the solar system currently.

I understand.

So you want them to bring you your base for rebellion.

That's not all.

We Neans were born for that planet.

As the starting place of a new world,

nothing better than Venus for that.

Neans were born for Venus?

What do you mean?

We Zenoa once lost our home planet.

Seeking for another to call home,

we continued our journey forever.

Then we came upon this star system.

And we forged a contract with the humans.

Zenoa will offer technology humans have yet to reach.

Humans will offer a habitable planet,

in which Zenoa can live with their original form.

And that is Venus.

Restructuring another planet together,

humanity has allowed Zenoa to move to Venus.

Then, came the Neans as workforce.

Those created with the technology from Zenoa.

Huh? Hang on.

So in order to have Venus,

you taught humans how to create Neans?

So they got your technology,

and created Neans to have them work on Venus?

Not to mention, the Usurpers are about to cause a riot among Neans...

And using that chance...

The Unoid humans call the Usurpers are dangerous beings.

They came from the same origin as us Zenoa,

but they have evolved into a destructive evil civilisation.

Unoid also seek Venus.

As long as they are under human management,

Neans will become the force against Unoid.

What the heck? Both humans and you are using Neans as tools...

Having them fight those you don't want to...

Neans are made for such purpose.

We admit they are logically purposeful.

Logically...?

But that...

That's just...

That's just nonsense!

How are things on Venus?

Is there anything from the Venus Development Group?

Chief!

A report from the Suborbital Section!

The Usurpers from Jupiter are on the move!

Simultaneous invasion?!

The enemy's main force is on the move.

We're DEFCON 1 against the Usurpers.

God, another war?

I don't remember asking anyone to visit.

Who are you?

Hey...

Now is my time to ask.

Why did you betray me?

Why did you hand me over to the Protection Bureau?

About that...

Don't give me that!

That was the safest way.

Or else, you'd get disassembled instantly.

You should talk to me before acting yourself.

Sorry.

Let me hit you once.

What?

You don't know how tiring it was!

They put me in strange water,

and they cut me off Nectar!

- Also, something about phase earlier... - All right, all right.

- You just kept yapping nonsense! - All right, all right.

- You just kept yapping nonsense! - Just hit me lightly, okay?

Unlike you, I...

Urgh...

Unlike you, I'm not so tough...

Not the fist, will you?!

You'll come with me, right?

You'll be in danger if I'm not around, anyway.

Shut up.

With that said, we'll excuse ourselves.

Where are you headed?

Of course, Venus.

Dangerous. It is logical for Rouge Redstar to stay here.

We recommend that she remain here.

Yeah, sure.

Even as great as they are,

the Usurpers can't just lay hands on Orbital City that easily.

If Rouge Redstar is here,

Code Eve won't activate, and that makes it safe.

Indeed.

However...

With the danger that Venus may fall into the hands of the Usurpers now,

I want to bet that Rouge Redstar can solve this situation with her power.

I advise it is also logical.

We Zenoa cannot interfere with an individual determination.

Hence, we will approve.

We will begin considering a backup plan in case First's proposal fails.

Thank you.

I will go together with Rouge Redstar and do my best.

We cannot allow First to head to Venus.

First's roles are limited to contact with humans,

and negotiate with them.

Fighting is not among them.

I request a day off right here.

Day off?

I haven't had a day off work since I was born.

By taking a day off,

it has been proven scientifically that it can improve work efficiency.

Here's the data.

We admit it is logical.

Thank you.

I'm surprised you can get along with such fellows.

You just gotta get used to it...

But...

I guess they'll still send me my paycheck on my day off.

So...

How do we go to Venus?

About that...

All's well that ends well!

Yo.

Ah...
