Original subtitles

The plan is progressing on schedule.

That is good fortune.

Blessings to our new homeland.

And joyful death be upon our enemies.

The time is nigh.

Glory to Unoid.

Drat... I was careless.

The Puppeteer... That guy...

Seems like the preparations are done.

Do you like it?

After all, that mask is my latest custom-made one.

This will be the final performance in our trope.

Oh, fret not, my child.

For now, you will not be told to improvise, nor read certain lines...

Each one of you will act freely...

Nay, this is no acting,

but the true self acted out by the actors.

All of you are excellent actors.

You will never be able to displease the audience.

Now, witness for yourselves!

The true improvisation interwoven by the stringless puppets!

METALLIC ROUGE

Rouge!

You're safe!

Jean!

You okay?

I was able to escape among the chaos caused by your attack.

I knew you'd come for me.

Thanks, Rouge!

Jean...

Huh?

I know where the id is!

The Altar is definitely wrong.

- We'll create a world - Hey, is this...

- where Neans are equal - Yep, no doubt.

to humans...

What are you doing, Rouge?!

I didn't recall raising you to be violent!

I wasn't even raised by you!

You mocking us?

No way we'd fall into the same trap every time!

Ugh, how boring.

You could've humoured me a little bit.

I've already prepared a dramatic line after this.

Beat it! Where's Jean?!

Let me take you to him.

To Jean Yunghart.

What do you mean?

I just want to enjoy it more.

You know how our queen is, no?

She's so stubborn and humourless.

She's so stubborn and humourless. On the other hand, you two are humour incarnations.

On the other hand, you two are humour incarnations.

A bundle of jokes and comical faces.

Is he praising us?

No way!

I don't want to hear that from you!

Life is a series of choices.

It is up to you to believe it or not.

7 of heart...

Opening up the future...

You two...

...should be able to arrange this long, boring play...

...with a lot of fun.

Now, follow me.

Someone's fighting up there.

Eden?

Hey, why don't we just call it a draw?

Those in the way of Sylvia...

One cannot let them breathe!

No matter what?

Those causing pain to Sylvia...

One cannot forgive!

Thou shalt know pain thyself, dear friend!

Take this!

How careless...

This won't solve anything.

Sylvia's methods are wrong.

You should know yourself.

How contemptible... What use inquiring that now?

Time shan't go back, nor be returned to.

This body and soul...

...already belongs to one's true love.

So does yours, does it not, Noir?!

Stop, Graufon!

Live for love, and die for love!

What the heck?

Live for love, and die for love, eh?

They truly are boring folks.

Now, let us come forth.

Rouge.

Gosh... What a stupid man.

So are you.

No doubt.

Please...

Stop...

Sylvia...

Yeah... I promise.

Another one...

Could they both be...

In the past...

If among the nine, one were to start a fight,

you'd step in right away.

Please, lend me your power.

To save Sylvia.

But I...

You said it's for us to survive, eh, you jerk Aes?

You, a spineless coward, would've died right away.

If you're dead, so am I.

Stop involving people in your problem.

By living, it means choosing for yourself.

Believe in yourself.

Believe in yourself...

You said there might be another way.

Do you really think so?

We should be able to find it.

A new way.

A better one.

You curious about the black reactor?

Nah.

Hey, are we there yet?

Oh, where are we?

Huh?

Excuse me, seems like we're lost here.

I knew it...

Oh, come on, don't be so mad.

We get lost in the labyrinth of life every day.

What a cliched line.

How can I tell?

Because it has no essence.

How can I tell?

Because you are an essenceless being.

Isn't this harsh? Even though I brought you your guests, as asked.

Using someone's face and imitating them...

...only to long for someone else.

What a boring man.

Oh?

I loathed you.

That's nice.

Noir!

We need your power.

Please lend it to us.

I beg you.

Father.

The improvisation play is ending.

The final segment is drawing near.

Yes... You will be the main cast.

Script? Oh, I didn't mention it, did I?

Your role does not need a script.

Your role is to stand on stage and close the curtains.

That is all.

I'll give you one last chance.

Become our ally.

Give your life for your fellow Neans.

Life?

Your id is the analyser...

The Decryptor's main unit.

Once set, nothing can remove it.

In order to save Neans,

be proud and sacrifice yourself.

Nah, I'd pass.

Besides...

If I die, I can't eat Broma Chocolate anymore.

Eden!

And Jean Yunghart...

You...

Aes?

He's an ally. He just saved me.

If you shoot me with that gun,

you'll be the one dying.

Alice!

S-Sorry...

Anyway, I saw it!

The Puppeteer guy.

His real face...

Let us proceed, then.

Close the curtain for the old play.

And raise the curtain for the new world!

#12 MASK GRAVEYARD

Please, don't lose, Rouge.

Do you know the life expectancy of the Neans on Venus?

3 years.

They can only live for 3 years!

Even those with huge physics...

...could not withstand the hellish environment.

So many of our comrades lost their lives.

This very Venus...

...shared the same fate as Mars.

A former battlefield.

Jean said if the Neans were free, the world would be in chaos,

and a war would break out.

But he's wrong.

The war is still ongoing!

Between humans and Neans!

Ever since the nine of us were born!

I'm begging you...

If you lose, I have to...

Nice!

You can't win against me with my free will!

Not a chance!

You're just a string puppet loyal to any order!

Rouge!

You're wrong.

I chose this myself! It's my own free will!

Then...

No hard feelings, eh?!

Since you chose to die yourself.

Before you stop functioning, you'd better witness...

...the moment the world changes.

Damn... it...

Naomi...

Give me... your hand...

Naomi...

Naomi?

Naomi!

Stupid Naomi...

I knew you'd prioritise your order.

You poor thing.

You could've just lived your life freely like me.

Looking for the reactor's control room?

It should be straight ahead.

Why did you save me?

Save?

I told you, I just want to have fun.

Until I stop breathing, beating,

and all my functions stop working.

If the girl fails, release the reactor's failsafe,

and stop Code Eve from activating by destroying the whole plantation...

...is what they said to you, no?

Very interesting.

The Visitors do come up with such a fancy plan.

I can't wait to see...

...which future you will choose, Naomi Orthmann.

Or rather...

Adieu, First.

Access granted.

Releasing safety lock.

- Change to the input wave authorised. - Sorry about this.

You're trying to stop me so desperately,

but I made sure they can't hear your voice.

Yeah, yeah, it's dangerous.

30 percent.

Warning.

- The input energy level - Explosive danger, eh...

- is exceeding the safe mark. - Explosive danger, eh...

What will happen if we all explode?

Surely we all will be doomed.

All of us...

Warning.

The input energy level is exceeding the safe mark.

70 percent. 80 percent.

Warning.

- Rouge... - Please reduce the input energy

below the safe mark.

Warning. The input energy...

...is exceeding 80 percent.

Ah, gosh! I get it already!

Rouge! Rouge!

Rouge! Rouge!

Rouge!

Rouge!

Over here...

Huh?

Over here, you stupid Naomi...

You were alive...

Oh?

Sorry!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

I won't ask where you've been,

but you sure you want to come back to me?

Don't you have something to do?

Is that your logical decision?

I don't know...

This isn't logical at all.

It doesn't make sense, yet it doesn't go against my order.

Am I broken...?

I don't really get it...

I guess that's what a friend is.

Friend?

We might actually be behaving like humans now...

So what's the plan?

I've decided to go with you.

Hey, what are you doing?!

Eden was fine for a while...

So I should be as well...

Wrap it up quick...

...and get it back to me.

Graufon...

I wish you were by my side in your final moments...

Jean Yunghart has escaped?

I guess Alcos of the Twin Heads has betrayed us.

It does not matter.

Now is the time for our world.

How could you?

Rouge!

No way... You gave her your id?!

Are you insane?

I just lent her.

You guys!

Ash! Aes!

Don't worry, Rouge.

Jean and Eden are safe.

Is this some kind of terminal?

It belongs to the Usurpers.

I've done a lot of research on the stuff they left on Mars.

Well, those two ladies called me a tomb raider, though.

It's data for Code Eve.

Still...

No way...

Where's Cyan?

Well...

About that...

My job is to gather the poor puppets.

And release them, thus saving them.

Rouge!

He's Roy Yunghart the professor!

Do you think you are free...

Rouge Redstar?
