What are all these B-Cubers doing here?
You girls belong to the mighty Sister now.
Let's work together to break out of here! I know we can do it!
I am Homura.
I am not your enemy.
The more on our side, the better.
Welcome to Illega Tower!
You see, my hobby is turning cute girls into furniture.
And this time, I wanted to use B-Cubers.
I swear we'll get out of here!
And then I'll pummel that creep!
Why have ye come here?
I am Sister,
the leader of Rogue Out!
THE GREAT NAKED ESCAPE
Sister? But aren't you one of Witch's friends?
Ms. Witch, can you see the video I'm transmitting?
Yes, I can, Pino.
I never thought I'd hear Sister's name here.
Her appearance does not match the Sister that I know.
However, her ID code is a match.
The situation does not make sense. Be on guard.
I will.
We were looking for you, anyway.
But what's the big idea? Why are you doing evil stuff?
Mercenaries care not about good or evil.
We only care about the contract.
You kidnapped my friend! Give her back!
I see.
So you're not here to offer me a job.
If you doubled the price, I'd return her to you.
You see, in our profession, there must be trust between contractor and client.
Once a contract is accepted, we never accept another
that would break it.
Who cares?
Where's Rebecca?
Dear me.
I can't believe there are fools who still try to oppose us.
I can see you're not from a backwater planet forsaken by God.
There's a small problem with a client,
so I must go and meet with them now.
Keep their corpses as pristine as possible.
-Yes, ma'am! -Yes, ma'am!
I'll transform them into my soldiers later.
Don't you go anywhere!
He's flying!
That must be gravity Ether Gear.
Damn it! Fire!
Take cover!
Master!
It's locked on to me!
Crap!
Did she just cut the missile in two?
An Ether blade…
This is my Ether Gear…
Soul Blade.
Samurai are awesome!
I consider myself a knight, but I'll just keep that to myself.
Shiki, you go after Sister.
I will handle things here.
Don't mess with us!
Do you think a lone woman can defeat all of us Rogue Out soldiers?
Five Sword Fencing…
Leopard Stance.
Her sword divided into two!
A leopard uses its swift legs to hunt its prey.
Fire!
How come we can't hit her? Damn it!
This blade… It must be…
But how?
Get going, Shiki!
Right! You take care of things here!
When this is over, I…
I wish to duel you.
Sure thing. I promise.
So don't die.
Got it.
Don't let him get away! Fire!
She's a freak of nature!
I am Homura Kôgetsu.
This blade is the holy power granted to me by my master.
It is the blade meant to defeat the Demon King.
Honestly, that Illega is also a real pain in the neck.
Is it about those attackers earlier?
No, that's a different problem.
He's got a complaint about our work.
If I recall, he requested that we get him 30 B-Cubers.
And they needed to be cute.
He says he won't pay since there's only 29 of them.
What?
It's partly my fault for putting Ganoff in charge.
He can't even count to three.
But with Jinn along, I was expecting better.
So what will you do?
Maintaining our client's trust is very important.
So I'm going to settle this matter myself.
Disabling sound collection mode.
It's just as you thought, Master.
It is highly likely we are headed to where Ms. Rebecca is being held.
Good!
We're on our way, Rebecca!
Is that all you've got, you mercenaries?
My blade is not yet sated.
Wow. What in the world is she?
She could totally kick our butts!
Speaking of butts, she's got a nice one.
Just because we're one short doesn't mean you can complain, you pricks!
We've delivered the goods. So pay up, scumbag!
When work is done improperly, it is Master Illega's policy not to pay.
Then at least pay for 29 heads.
You'd better not get Sister on your bad side.
I am terribly sorry. Master Illega has made up his mind.
Talking to you is pointless!
Bring me Illega right now!
Presently, Master Illega is enjoying himself.
Who said he could touch the merchandise!
Enough of that!
Sister…
Moscoy!
I'll speak with him personally.
It's that guy.
Forget about that, Master. Let us find Ms. Rebecca.
I suspect that we can find her inside that building.
Right.
I swear I'll bring her back.
Mosco, return to HQ.
Mos?
The rest of you, wait here.
There should be some human corpses littering HQ by now.
Prepare them for reconstruction.
Yes, big boss!
-Is that even physically possible? -No idea.
Now then, take me to Illega.
Someone…
On my channel,
I plunge into dangerous situations to hold my viewers in suspense.
I know! I always watch Tokkô Channel!
That mini black hole was intense!
It's all scripted.
What?
It's all fake!
I've never been anywhere dangerous!
We're all acting! Everyone in them, including me!
Really? I had no idea.
-Wow! -I thought it was all real.
Why would I do that? I don't want to die!
I'm so scared!
I don't want to die!
I'm sure we'll get out.
We just need to work together.
There has to be a way out. Let's put our heads together!
You know, I've been wondering about these bubbles.
Even though they dissolved our clothes and metal accessories,
they haven't affected our skin at all.
True.
Yes. It has no flavor.
She ate it?
That's Couchpo for you!
Now that you mention it…
The floor and walls are fine.
These bubbles are strange.
Were any of you wearing glass accessories?
Come to think of it, my pendant was made of glass.
My glasses dissolved as well.
I knew it!
Then maybe it will dissolve that glass window too!
Why would they use glass that could be dissolved?
That's probably why it's up so high.
So it won't get bubbles on it.
Good point! You're smart!
But…
How will we get all the way up there?
A human pyramid.
A pyramid?
There are 29 of us.
If we build a human pyramid, we should theoretically reach that window.
It's pretty brutal at the very bottom.
We'd probably look so funny if anyone filmed us from behind now.
I'd rather just die!
Hurry up!
I'm sorry.
I'm the lightest, but I'm terrified of heights.
Rebecca, we're counting on you!
Almost there…
Is everyone fine?
We're fine!
What about you?
It worked! It's making a hole!
Rebecca!
We're counting on you, Rebecca!
There's nobody here and there's a door.
Be careful! There could be guards outside the door!
In fact, it's probably locked.
And get some food!
Is there an air vent or something?
You could get to another room that way.
And get some food too!
There's one!
It's going to be tight, but I can just barely fit.
Find some clothes too!
I can't leave here like this!
Food's important too!
I'd like a map of the building as well.
That comes after the food.
Couchpo said it so much, it came true.
The first thing I found was the pantry!
How did you escape? That's very odd.
You've made me angry,
so instead of furniture, I'll make you my toy.
Why the heck are you doing this?
You want to know why?
Because I've got money, obviously.
You can do anything with money.
Everyone does whatever I tell them to.
Money alone can't move people's hearts!
Who cares about their hearts!
Nobody ever defies me.
You're so pathetic.
I'm having a great time!
People without money are the pathetic ones.
They're only good for turning into furniture to put my butt on.
What?
My body is going numb…
But not you. You'll be my toy.
I'll play with you lots until you break.
Shiki!
Ribbit!
That hurts really bad!
You kidnapped my friend.
Now say your prayers.
Is Happy all right? What about the Guild Master?
Hey…
Croak!
Shiki?
Croak!
Mr. Happy is damaged, but he is alive.
Pino!
The whereabouts of the Guild Master are unknown.
Happy's safe? Thank goodness.
Take all of that!
Do you suppose we should stop him fairly soon?
Probably. But I don't think he can hear us.
Then I have no choice.
Activate EMP!
That's enough, Shiki.
Thanks for coming.
Quit your staring!
I'm paralyzed right now!
Rebecca!
Copa!
How did you guys get here?
And what's with those outfits?
The door suddenly popped open.
When we searched around, we found a dressing room.
All we could find were these odd costumes,
but beggars can't be choosers.
You're even wearing accessories. You're so into it.
Look at all the girls…
They're the B-Cubers who were kidnapped with me.
Did you open the door?
It was probably Pino's EMP.
Pino?
Yes. These are my friends, Shiki and Pino.
They came to rescue us.
-Hey there! -It is nice to meet you, everyone.
You've got some great friends.
We brought you clothes too, Rebecca.
Thank you!
Catch!
Here you are, space ninja!
-We've been found! -Oh, no!
Pino, get them out of here!
I'll take care of this guy.
Roger!
I will show you the way out. Follow me.
But is it okay to leave him behind?
Don't you worry.
He's incredibly strong!
I never expected you to come to Guilst for real.
I'm not here because I want to be.
Those women are our merchandise.
I can't let them escape.
They're not merchandise.
They're humans!
Mercenary squad Rogue Out won't stand for anyone who interferes in our business.
I'm through playing with you.
I'll kill you this time.
Good! This isn't just a skirmish for me anymore either.
This is a battle to protect…
my friends!
You're wide open from the rear.
Says the one who did nothing.
I was guarding the entrance.
That sword is pretty darn powerful.
It is the blade I inherited from my master.
Are all these guys androids?
They build them pretty good 50 years into the future.
Hey! Where are you going?
I sense an Ether flow from underground.
-From underground? -Yes.
I think it's about time you tell me what you're really after.
I believe I already told you. I wish to duel the Demon King.
No, you're hiding something.
Would you point a gun at a comrade?
We're not comrades.
I'm not comrades with anyone.
Weren't you the one who brought me on to Edens Zero?
Why the change now?
I didn't think you were as powerful as you are.
I won't let you slit my throat in my sleep.
Guns don't work on me.
What about a gun operated with Ether Gear?
You have Ether Gear too?
Moscoy.
Million Bullets, fire!
Moscoy!
Guns in the floor?
I whipped those up a second ago.
See?
This could be a better fight than you thought.
What? Where am I?
I see you've awoken.
You're on Edens Zero.
Where's Rebecca?
Don't you worry.
Pino just informed me she's been rescued safely.
Thank goodness!
However, your functions have not yet been completely restored.
Aye.
What's going on?
I sense an ultra-high Ether concentration from the Sakura Cosmos!
Where is it coming from?
Stars are dying one after another.
It's headed this way!
It's a…
Chronophage.
A Chronophage is headed for Guilst!
SISTER IVRY
