The Roundtable members hold their own even against Victor, the most powerful man.
However, the regeneration and combat skills far surpassing that of Andy prevents their victory.
But in order to bring Andy back, Fuko returns with the Card in hand,
getting close to Victor to change the tide.
Fuko makes physical contact with Victor to create a stroke of unluck,
and Juiz comes up with a plan-
to bring back Andy's consciousness as Fuko has a high affinity for him,
so that a giant stroke of unluck can be affixed to Victor in an instant.
In order to deliver her voice to Andy, Fuko opens a hole in Victor's forehead
where the Card was lodged and begins to shout.
Fuko's desperate words miraculously awakens Andy's consciousness,
and a gigantic stroke of unluck rains down.
Fuko wakes up in a hospital room... and Andy in his usual guise is sitting next to her.
Fuko sheds tears of joy and relief... but now, Apocalypse opens once again.
Fascinating. You really are "Unseen".
You're a self-targeting compulsory activation-type.
When you shut your eyes, your body and anything you recognize as your property become invisible.
But that's odd. That's your blood coming from your stomach.
Maybe you didn't notice?
I don't want you running off on me, so I cut open your stomach and put a homing device in there.
If you join us, then I'll deactivate my ability.
If you don't, then that wound won't heal until I'm dead.
Unseen...
You're mine. I'm not gonna hand you over to those guys.
QUESTS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 1ST
INSIDE UNION FACILITY- THE ROUNDTABLE
Everyone is assembled, then. Proceed, Apocalypse.
Yes.
Quest results!
Huh?
Wait, is today August 31st?
Have I been asleep for that long?
Well, yeah, that's a no-brainer.
A total shut-in movin' around like that? It was bound to shut your body down.
I declare to those sitting at the Roundtable. The results of the six quests given to you-
Item One: Capture of UMA Burn... Successful.
Participants...
Juiz, Tatiana, Billy...
...Isshin, Phil, Top.
Reward: Addition of an eleventh seat.
One more Negator may be added to the Roundtable.
Item Two: Capture of the UMA Eat... Successful.
Participants: Juiz, Tatiana...
...Billy, Phil, Top.
Reward: Location of Negator Unburn.
I will reveal their exact location for the next seven days.
Unburn is currently here. They won't detect that they've been marked.
Catch them if you need them. Though you probably don't as you've already captured Burn.
Item Three: Neutralization of UMA Language... Successful.
Participant: Nico Vorgeil.
Reward: Unification of all the world's languages.
Altering the memories and cultures of all non-Negators.
All languages have now been unified to English.
Mui dear, do you read me?
Hm. Yes, sir? Master Shen, is something the matter?
Are you wearing your necktie right now?
No, sir. I'm in the middle of training at the moment.
Ah, I see. Perfect timing.
I'D LOVE SOME OF YOUR DIM SUM TODAY. Wo jīntiān yào páo ni de dianxīn.
HOW ABOUT IT? Zěnme yàng?
E-Er, what did you just say, sir? Would you mind repeating it once again?
No, that's all I needed. Sorry. Catch you later!
U-Uh, yes... understood, sir.
Confirmed unification of languages.
Item Four: Capture of the UMA Past... Successful.
Participants: Juiz, Nico, Phil.
Reward: Artifact Rebellion is here.
And Item Five: Capture of the UMA Spoil... Successful.
Participants: Andy, Fuko.
Y-Yes!
Shen.
Reward: Location of Negator Unrepair.
We did it! There's Unrepair, Andy! They might just be able to give you an actual death!
Item Six: Capture of Negator Unseen... Failed.
How very unfortunate.
Huh?
We had an inkling.
The guys that went to investigate Unseen all died.
Their bound bodies ended up in a deserted area, and all of 'em...
...bled to death.
My guess is Unseen got taken by Unrepair.
All quests have not been cleared.
Therefore, you shall receive a penalty.
Now adding the UMA Galaxy!
I-It's ginormous!
What is this thing?
So this thing is...
The penalty, eh?
Huh? It went up.
Is it tryna get to the surface?
Move.
You call for me?
Hey, Move! Thanks for the other day, by the way!
Ah! It's the thing that brought us here!
Move, transport us to the surface.
All right.
Huh?
Oh...
No!
Galaxy has been added.
A new Rule that the world will believe has always existed.
Will you be able to overcome this penalty, Negators?
Andy, where are we?
Australia, I figure.
Oh! I've seen that rock before! It's the biggest rock in the world, right?
Juiz... I've done my part in transporting you all. Now I expect to see quite the show.
Yes... I understand, Move. I shall give you a front-row seat to my justice.
Hey.
Hm?
I thought this "penalty" would be a lot scarier.
But this doesn't seem so bad, does it?
Negative. We're dealing with a UMA added by Apocalypse.
They always possess Rules that lead humanity to ruin.
This one is no exception.
The alteration... is starting.
Hm?
What's that? Amazing!
Hey, it's amazing, huh?! Look at that! Hey!
Nico, I want confirmation about this patch.
Already on it.
Hey, you dimwits, it's me! A Rule was just added!
What's common knowledge to you isn't to us Negators!
So, give me your knowledge now!
- Roger, Dr. Nico! - Roger, Dr. Nico!
Times like this are the only times when we're superior to Pappy!
Quit saying that or you'll get killed.
I see.
This "galaxy" is a cluster of celestial bodies like Earth.
Basically, this penalty spawned a slew of these Earth-like bodies,
along with systems involving them such as myths and days of the week.
It also introduced the concept of extraterrestrial life-forms called aliens...
...and at this very moment, seems like those aliens are invading us.
- Awesome! So cool! - Huh? What?
What is that thing? Are those ships flying in the sky?
Are they enemies?
Yeah. Born moments ago from the alteration to a world that always had Galaxy.
Naturally, that's not what they perceive.
Born on a planet with several hundred million years of history,
they trained themselves for decades to become soldiers,
and were given ships to invade other planets.
With their own planet on a path to ruin, they're looking for a new home, or something.
I'd wager that's their backstory.
We are Acks.
We're invading this planet to make it our new home world.
See that?
Y'don't say. This is a penalty, all right.
Is there a representative for this planet?
Me.
If you offer no resistance, then we plan on using you as our labor force.
You all seem to possess moderate intelligence.
If you resist, you'll be a hinderance and thus eliminated. Make your choice.
I choose neither. Withdraw your ships.
We've done our research. This planet's civilization is horribly underdeveloped.
You've yet to make an advancement into space due to your species' lack of cooperativeness.
You cannot possibly win by force.
This is genocide. In order for my family, friends, and people to live on this planet...
...all of you must die.
Is that your vision of justice?
Yes. A vision infallible to any form of reasoning otherwise.
I see.
In that case, I'll just have to...
...negate that justice.
What was that?
Wha?
Gah! What's going on?
Amazing. Seriously amazing!
What did you just do!?
Andy, Fuko.
Observe closely. This is what a penalty entails.
We managed to avoid the situation this time with my ability...
...but depending on the member involved, it could just as easily be game over.
This marks the 99th penalty added.
We cannot afford any more penalties.
Why's that?
We uncovered a stone tablet at the same time as Apocalypse.
That tablet has 101 slots. Each time we receive a penalty, one slot gets filled.
There is only one open slot left until it reaches 100.
Beyond that lies the final penalty.
Ragnarøk.
I assume it's a word that denotes "the end."
In order to protect this planet, we must prevent that at all costs.
That is why we resist, no matter what quest comes our way.
That said...
The quests-Apocalypse won't open unless the Roundtable is fully occupied.
I get it! Since we have another seat...
Yes.
We obtained an eleventh seat as a reward for passing the Burn quest. Unless we fill it...
...we'll receive a penalty in three months' time, before we can take up any more quests.
In other words, our highest priority right now is securing an eleventh member.
So this time we're...
The hunters.
You... all of you... just who are...
You're still here?
So you didn't kill yourself despite my power. It seems your "vision" was tall talk after all.
No matter. Relay this message across space.
Keep your hands off planet Earth.
On September 1st, 2020, humanity made first contact with extraterrestrial life.
However, it would be the first and last time, as all contact would cease thereafter.
We've learned the whereabouts of Unburn and Unrepair as our reward this time around.
Reward: Location of Negator Unburn.
Location of Unrepair. Right here.
The one we want is...
Unrepair, right?
I'll go. If their ability is true to their name, one attack'll prove to be fatal.
I appreciate that. I'll assign you backup for insurance.
Take Tatiana along with you. She will prove helpful.
Wait a-me?
Fuko, you go along as well.
Roger that. I gotta repay the favor for helping me out!
