What is it you seek?

Why do you wander?

Why were you born?

And why do you live?

Believe that it is to protect something

With the strange powers that you have inherited

In the darkness

| search for something | have lost

In the flow of time

| await the light that will soon come

| dream that we might one day

Meet again

Wow! Is that right?

Then I'll give it a try sometime!

Okay! So anyway, it's not always like this, but a while back...

Mizuki!

Big brother!

Didn't mean to keep you waiting.

C'mon, let's go home.

This is the first time in a while that we've all had dinner together.

Give Sho's dad a call too.

Sure, you just leave it all to me.

I'm gonna make you the most delicious food!

Morning already?

You must be exhausted from keeping watch all night.

Leave things to me now, and get some rest yourself, okay?

I'm pretty much all right.

Besides, it's about all | can do now.

Sho...

Hey! Breakfast is ready!

This stuff sure looks good!

| was in a rush, so I'm afraid | wasn't able to bring that much.

Nah, don't be silly! This is awesome!

Then please eat up, everyone.

Mr. Murakami, would you mind telling us what this secret concerning the Guyver is?

| was in Chronos myself for a time,

but there are still too many things even | don't know.

Very well.

I'll start from the beginning,

and explain what exactly the Guyver units, the Creators and the Zoanoids really are,

as well as what we humans truly are.

In the distant past,

there was a group of alien creatures who came to Earth from outer space.

They were the Creators.

Over the course of several billion years, they manipulated the Earth's ecosystems.

There was a certain kind of life form that they sought to create.

One with high intelligence,

strong reproductive power and the ability to adapt and thrive in different environments;

an aggressive life form meant to serve as a weapon.

And after much trial and error,

creatures to serve as the base form were created.

Those creatures were us: human beings!

You expect me to buy that?

So, you're telling us that we're all tools for war created by an alien race?!

That's what people are?!

| know how you feel, not wanting to believe it, but that is the reality.

Now that you mention it, Guyot said the same thing.

That human beings were created as the basis for living weapons.

It's certainly true that human history is one of strife and conflict.

We have a strong inclination towards conflict and excessive brutality.

Perhaps that's the reason we're like this.

What's going on?

How can they sit here and talk so calmly about such a horrifying thing?

They've lost their minds.

Or... am | the one who's losing it?

Zoanoids are human beings who have been "optimized" for combat.

Optimization refers to the process

of inducing genetic mutations for a very short period

in order to achieve a necessary form or to augment some ability.

Human attributes allow for the possibility of transformation

from their default into a secondary form.

The Zoanoids created through this process are subject to the control of the Zoalords,

who were themselves developed to act as guiding beacons, to command and direct.

And you were a prototype of the Zoalord Guyot?

That's right.

It was those same Zoalord powers that | used to destroy the Enzyme Ils.

Just as Zoanoids are obedient to the Zoalords,

the Zoalords in turn are genetically programmed for absolute obedience to the Creators.

However, human beings ultimately ended up not being used in combat.

That is because the Creators departed from Earth shortly thereafter.

As of right now, we do not know whether it was because

some interstellar war they had been involved in drew to a close,

or if other forces influenced their departure.

In any case,

humanity was abandoned just before it would have been used according to its design.

The experimentally optimized Zoanoids

crossbred with humans who were still in their normal states,

and their bloodlines eventually faded.

The monsters spoken of in folklore throughout the world

may well have been descendants of the Zoanoids.

Then does that mean the Guyver units are also organic weapons

which were developed using human beings as a base?

No, it's not like that.

The Guyver units were originally used by the Creators.

The Creators used them?!

Moreover, they were used as standard equipment.

The Guyver units build upon their hosts' physical forms and attributes,

enhancing their capabilities and optimizing their conditioning.

If the Creators had been a mixed group of many different alien races,

the units would have been the most versatile equipment they had.

Then one of the Creators came up with the idea

of equipping a human being with one of the Guyver units.

They were probably interested in seeing what would happen

when the unit was combined with one of the creatures

that had been developed as living weapons.

However, the results were dreadful.

The bioboosted human exhibited power that was dozens--

no, hundreds of times greater than when the Creators themselves equipped the unit.

But what filled them with more dread than anything else

was that the Guyver unit freed its host from their mental control.

While it had fighting power that far surpassed the Zoanoids,

this "bioboosted human" was completely uncontrollable.

The Creators referred to it

as an abnormal item, "not to specification,"

or simply, "Guyver."

They also confirmed yet another terrible fact.

If a Zoalord were to equip one of the units,

it would become a super-being with more power than the Creators themselves.

A super-being?!

This may be the reason the Creators suddenly abandoned their work.

Everything I've told you so far is all based on information that Professor Yamamura's team

and Chronos had procured from various ancient ruins throughout the world,

but it is unlikely that even Chronos' brain or the Zoalords knew about this last fact.

With one exception, that is: Richard Guyot!

Guyot knows!

Then Guyot's goal is...

...to get his hands on one of the Guyver units, equip it,

and to do away with the other Zoalords!

He means to be the lone ruler of all!

The analysis results seem to indicate

that the "item" does indeed possess the capabilities you spoke of.

What? Really?

Yes, Sir. However, I'm afraid | will need just a little more time

to determine how it can be operated.

Do so as quickly as possible, and see that this is kept in the utmost secrecy.

Yes, Sir.

Make sure that Dr. Barcas, in particular, does not suspect anything.

Barcas has picked up on something.

I'll bet he came to Japan to keep an eye on me.

If Yamamura knew about the secret of the Guyver units,

then naturally he must have told that test subject about it.

If by some chance Barcus learns of the truth from Murakami,

it will mean my own downfall, and not just that either!

I can't let that happen.

| may be just one step away from discovering a way to separate a Guyver unit from its host.

He's a threat as long as he lives.

It looks like I'll have to take care of this on my own.

Mizuki?

I'm just going to go get some air.

Hey, don't go too far!

I've had enough! | don't want to hear any more of those awful things!

It makes me feel like I'll lose my mind!

How can my brother and Sho stay calm in a situation like this?!

How can they be all right with this?!

| can't take anymore. | want to go home!

| want to go home!

Knowing of the units’ existence and also of their secret,

Guyot was afraid of the other Zoalords finding out,

and so he eliminated every member of the staff who was involved with deciphering the units.

However, Guyot did not know about Professor Yamamura,

whom one staff member had privately solicited help from.

The professor discovered

that the "unit" in question was in fact an object he had discovered

at the foot of Mount Minakami several years earlier.

The professor thought that

if someone who wished to oppose Chronos were to obtain the Guyver unit,

it would provide that person with the power needed.

But if Guyot or one of the other Zoalords were to get it instead...

| get it.

That's why you and the other test subjects sided with him

and tried to finish off Guyot while he was still in the optimization tank.

But we failed.

As | had suffered the mildest injuries,

the professor and my allies gave their own lives

to get me out of that underground base in Arizona.

Returning to Japan after that,

| used my title of "report writer," and began tracking Chronos' movements here,

as well as trying to determine the whereabouts of the units.

| knew that Guyot would come to Japan without fail.

| sought to get hold of the Guyver units before him,

and then, if possible, to equip one and use it to fight Chronos.

This is the mission | had been entrusted with!

However, many things | could not have anticipated have happened.

You all know the rest of the story very well.

By the time | found them, all three of the units had been unleashed,

and one had been lost forever.

But then doesn't this mean we've already avoided

the possibility of Guyot equipping a Guyver unit himself?

All three units have been unleashed after all.

It would be good if that were the case.

What's wrong?

| was just thinking Mizuki's been gone a while.

Yeah, she has, now that you mention it.

That's no good.

This seems to have come as quite a shock to her.

If you think about it, she hasn't really known anything up until now.

Maybe we should have told her about it sooner.

--Sho? --I'm going to go look for her.

Sho's not very hard to read either.

Mr. Murakami...

What's wrong?

It's him!

He's here! Right by us!

Good morning, gentlemen.

G-Guyot!

What's this? The commander has shown up in person.

This is getting interesting.

It's you, is it? The test subject named Murakami or whatever?

That's right.

I've been dying to see you, Guyot.

| see. Good work, Aptom.

Stay there and await my next orders.

Yes, Sir, understood.

Richard, so you did go to finish him off on your own after all.

It would seem he has now truly turned away from me.

Did you think a mere prototype could ever stand against Richard Guyot?

You fool!

| will now put you in your place!

Allow me to show you the power of a true Zoalord!

Bioboost!

Guyot, I'm surprised that you actually came to us!

You've saved us the trouble of going all the way to Relic's Point!

It seems your tongue is as sharp as ever, if nothing else.

But let's not be hasty, Agito. These two are your opponents.

Enzyme II!

| will personally tear out your control metal after these two have finished you off.

Don't take us lightly, Guyot!

| won't be taken down so easily!

I'll take you down even if it means my own life!

Mizuki...

Where the heck could she have gone?

What the heck are you doing out here?

Did you get lost?

Everyone's worried about you.

C'mon, let's get back there quick.

I'm going back.

--I'm going home! --Whoa, hold on!

Wait, Mizuki!

Leave me alone! | told you I'm going home!

What's gotten into you all of a sudden?

You're the ones who have lost it!

Mizuki...

I've been attacked by monsters,

kidnapped and locked up,

and you and Makishima have become like monsters yourselves!

And then you tell me that human beings are tools made for war?!

Enough is enough!

Why...

Why is this happening to us?!

Why do we have to go through this?!

Just a little while ago, we were all everyday high school students!

So why did all of this happen?!

Why?!

Tell me why!

| want to go back to those days.

Sho...

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, Mizuki!

It's all my fault for getting you guys involved in this.

I'll do something!

I'll promise I'll do something about it!

So, let's go back to the others.

Okay...

If | could just fire my mega-smasher,

I'd be able to take them out in one shot,

but | won't stand a chance if I'm attacked while charging it up.

What? Is that the best you can do?

Okay then, right back at you!

What do you think of my gravity bullets?

Of course, this is only twenty percent of my maximum output.

Damn...

Fool!

Mr. Murakami!

Makishima!

Well, | guess this is the end for you.

Playtime is over.

Consider it an honor to be able to die at the hands of a Zoalord like me.

Out of time already?

| guess it was inevitable, since | had to take them out before their optimizations were complete.

Now's my chance!

Makishima!

Right!

Die, Guyot!

Did you get him?

Most likely...

It did only fire from one side,

but there's no way he should have been able to survive that.

You sons of bitches...

No way!

Now you've really pissed me off.

You pitiful maggots!

I'll send you all to Hell!

Sho, that's...

That's about where the others are!

When the person who was always there went away

| was assaulted by nothing but noise

Never again being able to call out a name you've grown used to saying

is a lonely thing, isn't it?

I will swim there without relying on a boat with no oars

Cotton candy

Sadness can be healed while you whistle

Cotton candy

Don't hide your tears from others

Even if it's too bright or too dark

Fix your gaze and look closely

To find a light in the dark

In the light to find the invisible thing

A soul gone mad with bitterness...

A wounded heart lamenting a harsh reality...

He must protect Mizuki.

Though suffering from a deep wound,

Sho stands and once again shouts "Guyver."

Traces of kindness flash through his heart.

Next time: "Arise, Guyver I."

The strength of their bond brings about a miracle.
