Boom!
The Negator who Fuko and company were trying to contact, Unrepair,
was a member of those called the Negator Hunters.
Their objective was the capture or murder of Chikara,
the Negator captive on the ship as an auction item.
Andy and Fuko stand before Unrepair, who was about to fulfill that objective.
Among the struggle with Unrepair and his incompatible train of thought,
Fuko suffers a wound from Unrepair's attack that sees one brief window of opportunity.
Wounds inflicted by Unrepair will never heal until he dies.
Chikara, seeing that Fuko is facing death because she shielded him,
remembers his mother's words in her final moments,
and bites down his fear to resolve himself.
Unmove's Negator ability is to stop the movement of anything he sees.
Andy acknowledges and smiles at the bravery of the boy who wanted to save Fuko with his ability.
Meanwhile, the battle of another girl who cares for Fuko is about to begin.
Boom!
Creed! Feng!
Not a problem!
Gah! What now?
Tatiana!
Sorry I'm late, Fuko! I'll deal with these two!
You two handle the other two!
20 mm rounds ain't makin' a dent, eh?
That's one hell of a power suit y'got there.
Boom!
That appeared out of thin air!
Could it be his ability? What is he negating?
Yī.
No way! They cracked the black metal armor that Mr. Nico made?
Is this their Negator ability? How powerful.
Tatiana! Can you hear me?
What do you want, Zombie?
All right. Listen calmly.
Wha?
Fuko is injured! Unrepair got her!
That means...
A wound inflicted by Unrepair won't heal itself until he dies.
If what he said is true...
We only have one hour at most!
We're gonna kill 'im before then!
Oh? What's the matter? Rip get one of your li'l buddies?
My condolences.
AUGUST 6TH
UNION - ROUNDTABLE ROOM
Cool it, Tatiana.
He killed Ms. Gena!
Yeah, I know. But fighting among members is strictly forbidden.
But!
I see at least one of 'em's got a quick temper.
Huh?
Stop this.
Huh? Is it hot in here...
I'm sorry, Boss! Please, I don't want to kill Mr. Billy!
You win. I give up.
How very noble.
I need to see you out back... Zombie!
Wuzzat?
I'm Undead, ball brat.
They're having a fight.
Wish they'd take it someplace else, then.
I wonder which one will win?
Hey, stay back.
S-Sure.
NICO'S COMBAT TEST SITE
I'm letting you know now.
The others may have accepted you, but I still don't recognize you as one of us.
This is revenge... for Ms. Gena!
You were clueless about her feelings, and trampled them!
40 years...
You were oblivious to the feelings she carried within while she waited!
I knew.
I knew Gena was in love with me. But I killed her anyway. That's a fact.
I won't deny it.
Andy...
That's all the more reason... that I can't forgive you!
Nailed it!
I thought I told ya to stay back!
I-I'm sorry!
He protected Unluck...
Or rather, if Undead hadn't protected her... I would've...
Tatiana. You need to calm down.
The next quest will reveal if those two are cut out to be in the organization.
And I'm sure Gena wouldn't want you fighting each other, anyway.
But...
Gotcha!
Now then, where should I strike first?
Aah!
What? I haven't even done anything yet.
Oh, yes you did! You're the worst, you know!
Three minutes until compulsory release of UT Area. Evacuation of one km radius is advised.
Undead! Take Unluck and get out of here! Or else that girl is dead!
Huh?
That armor isn't meant to protect her body! It acts as a restraint to contain her ability!
Once released, it's capable of wiping out an entire town!
Grab the PCs and run for it!
Are you serious?
This is an emergency announcement!
Initiating emergency relocation of UMA and Artifact Storage to Level Four!
If you're on floors five or below, get to a higher level on the double...
...unless you want to end up as mincemeat!
You dimwits better protect every piece of data with your lives!
Don't worry, I got you, my pwecious li'l PC!
Cripes, you're fast!
Top! Collect the stragglers!
Already on it!
Tatiana...
Wah! I'm scared!
Hey, Tatiana!
It's okay! Just calm down. I'm sorry you had to see something weird!
Hey, just what're you calling weird?
What's with you two clinging to my camera?
What are you doing? You heard what Mr. Nico said, right?
I've lost control!
Three minutes until compulsory release of UT Area.
That armor isn't meant to protect her body! It acts as a restraint to contain her ability!
Once released, it's capable of wiping out an entire town!
Undead! Take Unluck and get out of here!
Unless you want to end up as mincemeat!
Hurry and run!
No!
Besides, it was me!
Huh?
I'm the one who killed Ms. Gena! My Unluck killed her!
Andy was fighting to protect me!
So... the one you should hold a grudge against... is me!
I'm sorry, Tatiana.
I'll do my best with Andy in the Union... and make up for the loss of Ms. Gena!
So please, tell me more! About you, and about Ms. Gena!
I want us to be friends!
It's stopped.
AUGUST 22ND
Pan pa-pan pan pa-pan, so I'm pan-panda, not bread...
Um, excuse me... mind if I come in?
Oh, wow! So many cute ones!
I know. And none of them are for you.
Oh, I would never take one! These little guys are special to you, aren't they?
Listen. I'm sorry about the other day. I thought we could maybe shake and patch things up.
I can't. As you can plainly see, I am-
It's fine.
I want to shake your current hand, Tatiana...
...and I want you to shake mine as it is now.
Someday, when we're free of our Negator powers and have normal bodies...
...let's go out together hand in hand, okay?
Okay.
Thanks.
I didn't do squat.
You good?
Oh, wait. I just realized if I release my power, we'll die.
I'm sorry, I ended up being useless after all.
Huh? Whoa, what the-?
Tatiana.
Killing Unrepair is the highest priority now!
Sorry, but it doesn't look like I can come back you up.
No need.
Zombie...
Get to the top deck.
Huh?
Just do it!
In spite of my body, she treated me normally without laughing or pitying me.
She's the first female friend I've ever made.
I won't forgive you... hurting someone so special to me.
I'll pulverize every last one of you!
UT Area voluntary release!
Just hold on, Fuko! I'm coming to save you!
Hey, are we really leaving already? Without taking anything?
Oh, I swiped some stuff.
I pretty much snagged whatever seemed fit for you guys.
You've got some sticky fingers.
I'll divvy it up later.
Anyway, what are we doing about Creed and Feng?
Hm?
Whuzzat? Exposin' your center on your own?
Then I won't be shy about pumpin' ya full of lead!
A few shots slipped through the cracks! This li'l game's all ours!
IT'S NO USE Méiyou yòng.
Huh?
Got another barrier inside that thing, eh?
In that case...
Feng.
Sneaky techniques aren't usually my style, but oh, well.
Poison gas. Kills anyone who inhales it in three minutes.
If solids don't work, let's see if gas does the trick.
Now then... have fun choking to death in that ball of yours.
Tatiana is a Self-Targeting Compulsory Activation type of Negator.
She was born in Russia to a very normal family, but her life took a turn on her fifth birthday.
Happy birthday, Tatiana.
Wow, strawberry cake! My favorite!
That was the day...
...the ability transferred to her.
Blood of her parents crushed to death and the remains of their home were scattered everywhere.
The police rushed to the scene after receiving reports from residents in the vicinity.
Dazed and confused, Tatiana went on the run, when...
...the mafia captured her.
Now, for the main auction item of the night!
A little Negator girl from Russia who negates the touch of any and all things!
Her feed must go through a specially designed tube, but...
...since she repels all impurities, she is the perfect ornamental piece!
Now then, the bidding will start at 100 million!
150 million!
160!
200 million!
Okay, that's 200 million! Do I hear higher?
Every time I come to one of these places... I start thinking being blind isn't so bad after all.
You! What in the hell-
You Tatiana?
Kill me.
Put your gun in my mouth and fire. That'll be enough to kill me.
Nothing good comes from living in this body.
I can't dress up. I can't hold a plushie.
I can't even eat my favorite cake.
But most importantly...
I want to hurry to Mommy and Daddy, and tell them I'm sorry.
All right. Then open wide.
Okay...
Ta-da! Supervised creation by yours truly, a real sweets lover...
The Long Cake Bar!
Your ability produces an untouchable barrier from the surface of your hair and skin.
But opening your mouth creates a hole in the barrier, right? I read about it in the dossier!
I heard you're usually fed liquid food through a tube. So I tried making these. So, how are they?
Hey.
Hm?
What other flavors are there?
For now, this is maximum compression.
Gotcha. Thanks for this.
Thank you, Mr. Nico.
Save the thanks. Just give me data.
With the help of Nico's restraints, Tatiana contained her barrier which grew bigger each year.
She became able to control manipulators with her brain waves just as she would actual limbs.
However, you're suppressing a lot of force. Unleashing it will cause a huge recoil.
It can become a weapon or a disaster, so be careful.
Yeah.
Mr. Billy, what does he mean by "weapon"?
Your power doesn't just cause people harm at random.
There's gonna come a day when you use it to protect someone important.
When that time eventually comes, let it loose of your own free will.
Tatiana, I made it to the top deck!
I'd rather destroy everything than let him get away!
Wazzat?
No more of this to someone special to me.
I won't let you touch her... not a single finger!
Zombie! Do you see Unrepair?
Oh, yeah! I spotted him all right! And I have your ability to thank for that!
Let us... handle the rest!
