Not even I know the story from here on, but...
Finally, time for payback against Autumn!
I'm sure the two of you can do it now!
Hey, isn't it bigger than before?
It must be changing phases.
It must've kept eating people while we were in the book.
We need to stop it.
Yeah!
But how do we do that?
Doesn't this mean it's even stronger than before?
Before, your attacks did nothing if it went defensive.
That's the past!
But I've got this now!
Repair Boost Bloody Enchant!
Deep-Crimson Crescent Moon!
You did it! That worked! You really do have this!
It's regenerating?
I see.
In that case, it's Unrepair's time to shine-
Not even a scratch, huh?
Rip!
What are you just standing around for?
Hey, your attack did nothing!
What would you expect from a kid?
Now then...
Powering up Andy and Fuko...
Reconciliation with Victor...
Prevention of Unseen's attempt at assassinating Fuko!
That just leaves one thing!
Everyone, listen up!
I'm about to draw the strongest Artifact we'll be using to capture Autumn!
Can all of you buy me time until I'm finished?
If this succeeds...
...I guarantee that you'll be able to catch Autumn!
Sounds fishy.
Sick! It's all up to you, Anno!
Yeah! Leave it to me!
Latla, is that a lie?
Yes. A downright lie, at that.
Big Sissy's fortune-telling is never right, so it's gotta be true, agoo!
Shut up, Bunny.
In that case, we'll take the profit after letting them duke it out.
Sigh. That's pathetic.
Pathetic, agoo!
I mean, what'd you expect from a kid?
I really had a strange life.
Lonely... and sad...
ANNO UN JERSEY / HAIRTIE
And in the end...
I couldn't get the message to Mom.
But, Mom, can you see?
That guy is Andy.
He's Undead and may look scary, but he's capable of anything if it's for Fuko.
That's Fuko.
She's had a hard life due to her Unluck ability.
But ever since she met Andy, she's been fighting with courage.
And the small one there is Rip.
He's the person I wanted to tell you about.
I killed her.
No... I killed my little sister.
If I hadn't told that fortune, then-
No, I did the operation!
If I hadn't cut her, then Leila would be...
He's really kind and cool, but he's suppressed it ever since losing someone dear to him.
He's even cooler as an adult.
I mean, you always liked handsome characters, Mom.
Just hold on...
I'll show you right now!
Age Rip 15 years!
My body's back to normal? But this is...
This is the Artifact that Feng used to heal me. The time-control Artifact!
That's what he drew and used?
You dumbass!
What are you thinking? When you use that...
...it makes you age ten times the length of time you manipulated!
How many years did you use? Hand the Artifact over!
If I use it back on you, we'll still make it in time!
Don't worry... I'm just going back... to being alone again.
In order to capture Autumn, Rip... your power is necessary.
I'm glad I managed... to meet and talk to you.
The rest is up to you now...
...my cast... of cool heroes.
Huh?
It's her fault!
My child got hurt because he played with that girl!
What are you going to do about this?
It was an accident, Mom.
I've said this numerous times, but Fuko hasn't done anything.
The other young'uns said so themselves, didn't they?
That girl is always at the scene of every incident that happens at their school!
She must've pulled some prank!
You haven't done anythin' wrong, Fuko.
Yeah.
Grandpa, what's this?
Oh? That was your mom's favorite manga.
When a new volume comes out, I buy it and put it as an offering.
Manga? Can I read it?
Aye, go right ahead. I'm sure that'd make your mom happy.
Oh, wow... Look at all the pretty pictures.
My parents died.
My grandpa died.
Even then, one thing kept me from ending it all...
Well, I can't die until this ends, now can I?
Sensei...
It's regenerating too fast, how should I attack?
Undead.
Wuzzat?
Who was that man? Why did he disappear? And why did he turn me back to normal?
I've told you before. I don't plan on getting all buddy-buddy with you guys!
Did you think I'd help you because I'm in your debt?
That I'd have a change of heart if you appealed to my emotions?
Well... I refuse.
Sensei called us heroes.
Sensei did so much for all of us.
He used You-Me to guide us...
He gave us the chance to go to Andy's past to become stronger.
And last, but not least...
He reverted you.
All of these things are necessary to beat Autumn.
Hey, Rip's body's back t'normal, but he don't look too happy, agoo...
What's da matter?
Well... Rip wants to be a villain.
Otherwise, he'll never reach his destination.
Being a hero means giving up on her.
Rip!
I'll cut up this lug with my katana.
Then you attack the same spot and make it unrepairable.
Huh?
Latla, you defend the front.
We need you to slip past its barrage fire.
Wait a second! Don't just casually call me out by name!
Bunny, you're a Restrainer Type, right? You're on core retrieval duty.
Yessir, agoo!
Bunny!
Hey! Who said you could call all the shots? We're-
We're...
...able to win. Without a doubt!
Agoo?
What is that?
Autumn's spiderlings!
They're going into the main body...
This is its Phase 2, huh?
No way... You mean it wasn't already at max strength?
Oh my, all of you look like you'd make quite lovely books.
Especially you.
You'll make a good bookmark!
Andy! Below!
Andy!
What's got into you?
Rip, you've been helping me... for as far back as I can remember.
Rip... you're like...
...some kind of hero, huh?
Oh my, it won't heal...
Mr. Rip!
Latla?
Yeah?
Can we beat this thing?
We'll lose. Without a doubt.
This is the tale of a single boy who guided a cast of heroes.
Just this once.
We'll see.
This story started when a little boy who loves manga...
...picked up a mysterious pen that showed him the past and future.
The boy tried to tell his mother of his visions of the past and future...
...but failed despite his best efforts.
That was because he became the Negator "Unknown."
Nobody noticed him, he was all alone.
But he never gave up on life partly because of his mother's desire for him to stay alive.
And because of what he saw that day- His heroes fighting while facing their bitter pasts.
One day, the boy realized...
...that what he drew as the author "Anno Un" could be shared with the world.
And it wasn't long before he realized something else.
Fuko, lay it on me.
Huh? Is that necessary?
Yeah, for some luck.
The heroes he saw that day...
...actually existed in real life!
This fact alarmed the boy.
Latla, take care of Fuko!
Please and thank you!
Well, you have some nerve!
Because in his vision of the future...
...Fuko was killed by Unseen, and this world met its end.
He had to change the future.
The boy's mind was set. These heroes instilled in him the courage he needed...
...he would risk life and limb in order to repay them.
With a manga of future information sprinkled in, he notified them of his existence.
He extracted the manifestation ability the pen held.
And in order to meet Andy and Fuko...
...he created another version of himself, one named "Anno Un."
As a result, the assassination was foiled. Andy and Fuko became stronger.
Rip returned to normal. And preparations were set to defeat Autumn.
Deep-Crimson Waxing Moon!
Full Moonsault!
The wound won't close. Damn you, vessel of Repair...
Latla, now!
We're busting through!
- Got it! - Agoo!
Perhaps it was a price to pay for changing the future...
...but the pen ultimately crumbled to pieces.
He would never be able to draw another double again.
What now? We can't see it, agoo!
The boy had gone back to being alone once more.
Don't worry!
However... the boy had no regrets.
Anno, I'm borrowin' your move.
For everything was already told.
Volcano... Unluck Bullet!
What? A finger?
Andy's finger definitely hit its mark!
And that finger is in store for a stroke of unluck!
So just have faith!
Because we have all that unluck Sensei gathered for us on our side!
We did it, Andy!
I grabbed it, agoo!
The boy could never see anyone again. Was he dead?
No, he was not.
Even if no one could actually see him, so long as people remembered him...
Anno, we won.
...he would be right there.
That was the belief Andy chose to hold.
This is the tale of one hero who guided a cast of heroes.
The title of that tale being...
"To You, From Me."
Andy! Over there!
Autumn is disappearing.
Yeah. Cuz it lost its core. The six of us won.
Yeah, guess we did.
Latla, collect the Soul Caliber.
Mr. Rip!
What? We're taking the Artifact.
Thank you very much for working together with us!
I doubt the two of us could've done it alone.
Even when it looked like Andy and I were in serious trouble, you came to our rescue!
We were perfectly in sync, too. That proves we should be working together in-
Unluck.
We can't work together. I want Ark.
Helping you would mean joining Union, right? What happens if I do?
Unjustice would uncover my plot. Besides, your boss Juiz hides and keeps Ark all for herself.
The fact that none of the other Union members knew about Ark is proof enough.
I have no choice but to steal it... from under her, by force.
This person must be very important to you.
Yeah... They're my everything.
Big Sissy?
I'm sowwy for stealing your gun, agoo.
No, I'm sorry for hitting you, agoo.
Oh, um...
Are you sure about letting us have Autumn?
Won't you get in trouble?
I'll probably get an earful for letting Sean get killed, but whatever.
After all, I ended up owing you guys.
Take this.
I gathered what I could.
This is Sensei's...
Undead.
What exactly was he?
I'm guessin' a Negator... Unknown.
A Self-Targeting Compulsory Type, at that.
I see.
Hope you meet them again.
Yeah.
Bye-bye and agoo, Puuko!
Bye-bye and agoo!
Bye... by-
Hah! It got you, too, huh?
Guessin' your body can't keep up with all that growin' within the book.
You did good stickin' it out for all that time.
No biggie. It was only about ten years.
AUTUMN ARC

Have any black tea?
