Mr. Billy?
What's up?
Why did you put on your spurs again today?
Why?
To use the sound to see around me, of course.
I know that! But you have me!
You don't need them!
I told you I'd be your eyes no matter what, didn't I?
Yeah.
I need you... Tatiana.
Chikara returned to Japan and had regained his everyday life.
But that was a fleeting reality existing only until he makes his decision.
Fuko and Andy, in order to know Chikara's choice as a Negator, head to his school.
That is where Rip, who they supposedly defeated, shows up.
Upon touching a gun Artifact that Rip tossed over as "a gift,"
Fuko and Andy see visions of memories residing within...
...the shadow of God who will destroy this world.
Andy boasts that he will defeat even God to forge his own destiny,
and Rip heartily laughs hearing that.
Calling themselves "Under," Rip forecasts a drastic change in three months' time and leaves.
Meanwhile, Chikara thinks back on his misfortune.
He decides to abandon his everyday life to join the Union and fight.
Seeing Chikara act as such, Fuko also reaffirms her resolve.
Time flies by, and it is now December 1st.
Apocalypse opens up, and new quests are about to be declared.
2020
DECEMBER 1ST
MIDNIGHT
UNION FACILITY, ROUNDTABLE ROOM
We're all assembled, yes?
You may proceed, Apocalypse.
Quests, open!
These quests have the 100th penalty at stake.
This round, every quest is open to everyone.
Every living person on Earth will have the right to participate.
Open to everyone... So, here it is.
There are four quests this time.
Quest one:
Neutralization of UMA Spring.
Reward: Location of Artifact Aegis.
Quest two:
Neutralization of UMA Summer.
Reward: Location of Negator Unchange.
Quest three:
Capture of UMA Autumn.
Reward: Addition of UMA Ghost.
Quest four:
Neutralization of UMA Winter.
Reward: Location of Artifact Remember.
Quest deadline: December 31st.
If all quests are not fulfilled by the deadline, the penalty will be...
...the addition of UMA Revolution!
R-Revolution?
So open to everyone applies to people like Mui, too.
Yes.
People outside of the Roundtable are free to enter.
It means we're facing opponents of that grand a scale.
Roundtable or not, everyone must unite to challenge them.
Mind if I jump in?
What is it, Billy?
Like Apocalypse said, these quests hold the 100th penalty.
I doubt we will complete them that easily.
If some of us die before we get a shot at the 101st penalty...
...that seals the deal on our defeat, right?
Three out of four need to be neutralized.
If we can kill them, we're good.
So...
...why don't we just drop a few nukes on 'em?
What... are you saying, Mr. Billy?
If we do that, then innocent people will be sacrificed-
Yeah, that's true.
But that's all that we'd lose.
Huh?
Too naive, Juiz... you really are.
You're always seeking a better outcome.
Almost as if there'll be a next time.
What are you driving at?
I'm saying it's impossible.
You can repeat it thousands- tens of thousands-of times, but you...
None of you...
Are able to kill God.
The odd feeling I've had since Unseen got taken...
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.
Those guys barging in everywhere we went...
We are Under. In three months, the world will flip around and become fair.
Calling all off-mission members!
Roundtable members are currently battling Negator Hunters in Egypt and China.
Join us, and I'll personally put in a good word for you two.
What he hinted at... Don't tell me-
First time in this sort of situation, Juiz?
You're mighty slow to make the calls.
Isshin! Isshin!
You gotta help Isshin, old timer! You gotta!
I'm well aware! First, remove their armor so I can assess the wound!
I managed to bump off Unbreakable, eh? Good job.
Top, don't do it!
N-No! What are you doing, Top?
Mr. Billy is... he's...
You dummy! He shot at us... He shot Isshin!
It's clear that he's a traitor!
Devoid of light, bearing the burden of Negating, forced to fight.
Why lament about lives of the incompetent?
Utilize their lives as well. That's what I'd do.
Otherwise...
...it's quite Unfair, yes?
The Roundtable will belong to Under- I'll be taking it.
The one who'll kill God... is me.
Wha? What's going on? Did Mr. Billy just betray us?
Seems so.
Uh... Tatiana! Th-This is...
Heya, guys! Long time no see!
Unrepair!
And... his wife!
That what it looks like?
It's nothing like that!
Huh? You lost weight since I last saw you? You've gotten prettier, maybe?
Huh?
I-I guess! I did do a lot of training these past two months!
Sorry, you're far away, so I can't really tell. Might be just me!
That seals it.
If he's with those two, Billy is a part of Under-
No!
That isn't Mr. Billy! You don't know the first thing about him!
Top broke that guy's neck a second ago, but he repaired himself!
Mr. Billy's ability doesn't work like that!
Mr. Billy's ability is Unbelievable.
It's limited to guns, but shooting in a direction that'd never hit his target...
...he always hits via ricochets and stuff. It's a sure-hit ability!
It's the truth! I'm the only one Mr. Billy's ever told!
Um, what is all this? That thing looks like a summoned beast straight out of FF!
We'll explain later. Just fall back in the meantime.
No, but... I can help, too...
You can help by not getting killed.
I'll come back when I've calmed my nerves!
Just leave this to us!
Looks like Unmove is still a scaredy-cat!
We're in luck. He's the one that got me last time, y'know.
Bringing Burn along was a good idea.
Huh, Boss?
Boss?
See? Didn't I tell you?
No matter how you look at it...
...he's a traitor!
Top!
So fast... What the hell is going on?
Unstoppable, huh? It's a fine ability.
But the shutoff condition is quite tricky.
You can't stop unless the shape of your body undergoes a dramatic change... was it?
But still, in my current state, that's not much of a drawback.
You have my thanks... Undead.
My ability...
...isn't kicking in.
I knew I didn't like him!
What a marvel of a Negation ability.
You can peer into people's hearts.
One bound to protect.
One bound to live and lead.
One bound to fight powerful foes to become stronger.
Those are your visions of justice being negated... yes?
This is my Unjustice...? How is he able to use it?
Quite effective against people. It's pretty handy.
I'll gladly take these for myself. Along with the Roundtable.
Swat them away, Burn!
Tatiana...
Come.
I need your ability.
Now, for the main auction item of the night!
A little Negator girl from Russia who negates the touch of any and all things!
You! What in the hell-
You Tatiana?
Put your gun in my mouth and fire. That'll be enough to kill me.
Mngh?
I heard you're usually fed liquid food through a tube. So I tried making these. So, how are they?
Hm?
What other flavors do you have?
I saved your life. Now return the favor.
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.
You want to return to a normal body, don't you?
Then...
I know one thing. When you have no sense of self-worth, but someone saves your life...
...how influential that person can become for you.
But what I don't know... is how sad it must be to face betrayal by that same person!
I see. You're not coming, then?
Then you, too, are my enemy... Untouchable.
Let's go, Burn.
He plans on escaping by melting the ceiling!
We must not let him escape!
If he steals the Roundtable, then we lose our only way to oppose God!
We must retrieve it by any means... We've come this far!
If we don't settle this here, it's all over!
I got a boatload of questions, but...
I'm on it. But don't forget what ya said.
We can use any means, right?
Been a while, but gimme a real doozy, Fuko!
On it!
I see...
Relying on Fuko's Unluck? Burn is quite strong, you know. Can you pull it off?
We stand a chance.
That girl on top of Burn's head was the girl I described in September's report.
As long as she's there, orthodox attacks won't land.
So we'll bank on Unluck's randomness.
That makes sense. Let's go with it.
Attention, all Union members! Billy has betrayed us and seized the Roundtable!
We're mounting an operation centered on Undead and Unluck!
We must retrieve the Roundtable at all costs!
Top priority is disabling Burn!
As long as we stop Burn, they can't walk off with the Roundtable!
Nico!
I want you to focus on treating Isshin and Top.
Grant the lab members control of the facility to stop Burn in its tracks!
No choice, then.
Mico, it's up to you. Handle this.
Wait, really, Pappy- I mean, roger, Dr. Nico!
Seriously?
There is a chance they'll steal Artifacts along the way. Shen, Phil, get to the depository.
Yup.
You have my permission to use any Artifact you deem fit to pull off this operation!
Chikara, I hate to ask, but I'd like you to use your power to stop my bleeding.
Can you do that?
Yes! I'll give it my best shot!
And, Tatiana. As for you...
Stand by.
Don't worry.
Just leave it to me, Tatiana.
I'm sure there's some reason behind this.
Mr. Billy is a kind, wonderful person.
You know that better than anyone, right?
Yeah.
Please... go save Mr. Billy.
I will.
Fuko!
Well, Tatiana...
I'm off!
Fuko.
Begin the operation!
All personnel, provide full support for Undead and Unluck!
- Roger! - Roger!
