In order to contact the Negator Unrepair,
Fuko and company go to Rio de Janeiro.
They each purchase a classy outfit
for the infiltration mission and board
the target luxury liner that evening.
There they are met with luxurious decorations,
lavish food, and beautifully-dressed patrons,
but this ship also hosts a black market auction,
one that treats Negators-- fellow humans--
as merchandise to be bought and sold,
the underground society twisted by dark desires.
Fuko is shaken and begins to reflect.
She wonders which is better:
joining the Union or being sold off
in the auctions.
But Andy eases her mind.
He speaks of what they have encountered
and how it's changed him.
As he does, those that Juiz called Negator Hunters appear.
These individuals have a singular objective:
to get revenge against the world.
The curtains now rise on a spectacular battle.
Zombie, we've got big trouble!
We have infiltrators on the deck of the ship,
and they were speaking a language other than English!
There are four in total,
and at least two of 'em
are confirmed Negators.
Negator hunters.
Are these the same ones who took Unseen?
Most likely, yes.
We have one thing in common:
that they also specialize
in collecting Negators by force.
But the difference lies in our objectives.
We who are aligned with Union are seeking to kill God--
to be freed of rules.
Them, on the other hand,
they are seeking revenge against the world.
UN UN
They dispose of collected Negators
they deem worthless.
Well, I suppose that's another thing we have in common.
UN UN
We do not!
At least, that's not why you tried to kill me.
You did it in order to protect people, right?
These powers, being a Negator, it can be sad and painful.
But even so...
Taking it out on the world is not right!
- Let's go. - Yeah!
Go ahead and charge me up! - Right!
We can bulldoze through these chumps!
- Huh? - Who the hell are you?
Tatiana! Unbreakable Sword!
UNBREAKABLE
UNBREAKABLE SWORD- KURIKARA
Okay, okay!
Do you know how hard it was to get this?
Emergency alert!
Two intruders have breached the hall!
They could be heading down to the auction items now!
Ah, stop them! Kill 'em if you have to!
Now, don't lose this!
Appreciate it!
Listen up 'cause I'm only gonna say this once!
Negators aren't merchandise, you hear me?
Better get back.
Andy, quick!
The Negator hunters!
The Union, huh?
The Negator is not going with them.
Where do these stairs lead to, Andy?
The cargo hold where they keep the auction items.
They crashed the party before the auction started,
so those hunters are bound to be headin' that way, too.
Don't worry.
We'll find the Negator before them
and then save him!
Worse comes to worst, we fight.
- Stay ready, okay? - Yeah!
SEPTEMBER 9TH
LEAVING PORT OF RIO DE JANEIRO
Dynamite?
CARGO HOLD- AUCTION ITEM WAREHOUSE
Hey, what's goin' on up top?
Huh?
Huh.
BUSTED!
Escaping before the auction--
Why, you...
If you don't stop, I'll--
What do I do?
If I move I can't stop him
and if I stop him I can't run away!
Dammit, how did things wind up like this?
I always knew I had a mysterious power.
That's why I kept it hidden!
I kept it a secret, so...
Why?
SEPTEMBER 2ND
Hey, Chikara!
Say, did you finish your homework?
Let me copy it before class, will ya?
Teacher always calls on me.
Mm-hmm.
Shut up!
What is with everyone speaking gibberish all of the sudden?
Is this some sort of prank?
You guys got me! I give up!
Also, which one of you jerks screwed with my TV?
The people, text-- everything's in gibberish!
What gives, huh?
You playing back videos or something?
Huh?
Uh, what is going on with you?
You've been talkin' funny since yesterday.
Why don't you drop the act already?
It sounds pretty forced, if you ask me.
Uh?
Secured one Negator. Ability unknown.
The Union will be there soon.
Hurry up and get out of there. Copy that.
When I came to I was here,
caged like an animal,
and I've got some gangster-looking dude pointing
a gun at me in a room surrounded
by freaky creatures!
Oh, no! Not good!
My legs are trembling!
My power!
What an idiot. Now I'm free to move again.
You got nerve, wasting my time.
But you're much too valuable of an auction item.
No chance I'd let you get away.
Hah.
Ah, well, screw it.
I'll just put a slug in your leg.
That'll--
Huh?
I see.
External-targeting compulsory type, huh?
As long as you don't move,
you negate the movement of a target in your field
of vision, I presume?
How intriguing.
You're the restrainer type I've been hoping for.
No chance in hell I'm handing you over to the Union.
...THAT IS.
Who are they? Are they on my side?
Are they here to save me?
Hey, Latla, what language is the kid speaking?
That was Japanese, right?
I can't speak it, though.
Well, that sucks.
I was hoping I'd get
to ask him more about his ability.
Leave it to me. I'll figure it out,
since we only care whether we can use him or not, yeah?
You're about to get pumped full of lead.
If you don't wanna die, you better use your ability.
Quite a crude way to recruit, don't you think?
Eh, I don't see any harm.
If he can't intentionally use his power
then he's no use to us.
And besides, if he dies,
then the ability will just transfer over
to a different human.
In five...
He's gonna shoot me? Why?
Four.
Just great!
They're not here to save me after all!
I should use my power, right? To stop him?
Three.
It's no use! I can't stop shaking!
Two.
Dammit, it's all this power's fault!
If I just didn't have it then right about now I'd be...
I'd be...
Oh, you!
One!
Mom, Dad, I'm sorry!
Think he's dead?
Yeah. 100%, he is dead.
So that means...
Oh?
ARE YOU OKAY?
Y-YEAH.
- WAIT, JAPANESE? - TAKE THIS.
Tatiana, in the cargo hold, we found him.
Roger! I'm on my way!
I understand them?
Now let's see.
That first one's packin' a Gatling gun.
But not an ammo clip in sight. How's he firing it, then?
The second one's a martial artist for sure,
and I can tell he's strong.
The third one, maybe a support type?
She's definitely light on equipment.
Might have some sort of a counter ability.
As for the last guy, the one with the eye patch...
You murderer!
You with the card.
You can repair yourself.
What kind of Negator are you?
Not like it matters.
You see that wound there?
It won't be able to heal itself till I die.
UNDEAD UNLUCK
I'm afraid that's as close as you're gonna get.
I don't know what ability you have exactly...
But if you need to cut yourself in order
for your healing to take effect...
Then you're all out of luck.
The wounds I inflict will negate any
and all healing techniques that are attempted on them.
Hmm.
So I've got you beat.
Someone help me!
Fuko!
The two of you are with the Union, right?
Does that mean they want the Negator as well?
Hate to disappoint, but we've already called dibs,
so fork him over.
You see, we're gonna kill him.
That ability will
be useful for our team.
It'll be more useful once transferred over
onto someone who isn't completely spineless.
By the way, that language change has made hunting down Negators
way easier. That was you guys, right?
Nice, thank you.
Ya-hah!
The pleasure's all ours, buddy boy!
Now it's crystal clear!
Our 11th member ain't gonna be you!
Parts Bullet Head!
The one I didn't target cut off his head!
Who are these two?
Ba-goom!
Creed, Feng!
It's fine. We can handle it.
What is it now?
Tatiana!
So sorry I'm late, Fuko!
You just leave these two to me, okay?
And I'll leave the other two in your capable hands.
Yeah!
Roger that!
Repair Boost!
That's gotta hurt!
Crimson Crescent Moon!
He dodged it?
He chopped off both his hands!
You're quick on the draw with that blade of yours.
Can I presume that your restorative powers are at play?
What are you doing?
I already told you.
Doing that activates your healing,
so it won't work no matter how much you try
and hack yourself up to bits.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Oh?
It worked! But how?
HATES GORE
Parts Bullet Forearms!
Rip, watch out!
Their trajectories changed?
Must have been that lady's ability.
You're sure an interesting one.
Why do you waste your talent with them?
Come over to our side.
We're way more fun.
Oh, do me a favor. Would you fix up my nose, Latla?
Hmm.
All right, fine.
So let me see.
So made it look like you were trying to heal yourself
when in actuality it was an offensive attack.
Because of that, my rule didn't apply,
freeing you to cut off your own--
And there.
What I'm saying is,
I like your style.
Together, we'd...
That's a hard pass.
I was curious what Unrepair would be like when
I learned of it.
But it ain't enough to kill me, so...
Any interest I had is long gone now,
and I couldn't care less about what you're up to.
Huh.
That's unexpected.
Someone like you is much better off with us,
but oh well.
So, what about you,
cutie with the short hair?
Um, you mean me?
Whether planned or not,
you chopped off that guy's head like it was nothing to you.
You're crazy in a good way.
The one cowering next to you could never pull that off.
He's so freaked out all
the time that he can't utilize
his restriction ability at all.
Seems he can't even fulfill his own requirement
of remaining still because
he's constantly racked with fear.
The ability is a winner but the person attached
to it's a dud, and so he must die.
But why? Tell me!
It's our aim to fill our team with only the strongest.
With them we'll be able to teach people a thing
or two about who keeps the world turning.
Once we have the numbers we'll start taking
over countries one by one.
But why would you do that?
Blame God, the one who's actually toying with us,
not the innocent people of the world!
And are you going to kill this God?
We've got more than enough problems
on our hands as it is,
but if you want to risk your lives on something
like that, go ahead.
Ah, no!
I put so much work into my makeup for this party!
The sword missed her, but the blood still hit.
Did she negate the attack?
Do you have any idea...
Now then, let's get back to business.
Time for you to say goodbye, Mr. Scaredy Cat.
Here's hoping your successor's a winner.
Dammit, I can't kill the momentum
with my regeneration!
Get back, Fuko!
Fuko!
Aw, man.
Now why'd she have to go and do that?
What a waste.
The card guy reduced the force of the scalpel so
it didn't pierce right through her.
But still, she's got an hour to live at best.
Now she's useless, too.
A shame, really.
Andy, it's fine!
I'm good!
Sorry for jumping in the way like that.
But you managed to slow down its momentum enough.
It would have been a lot worse if you hadn't blocked it.
Don't worry, honestly.
Just be your normal self.
'Kay?
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
I'll kill that jerk right now and--
This way! Hurry!
Find them!
Hate to run, but that's our cue.
Though I did bump off a Union member.
Guess I'll have to settle for that.
Well, I'll be seeing you heroes soon.
You got some nerve ruining our auction items!
How you punks plan on paying us back for this, huh?
Just one thing after another.
Hold it right there, pal! So it's you.
You guys are the Negator hunters that've been bustin' up
our turf, aren't ya?
I move and they shoot.
I'd be fine, but Fuko...
And if I don't move, that jerk gets away.
I need a plan.
Uh, sorry.
I'm not sure how to stop the bleeding.
Don't get too close. It could be dangerous.
She's a Negator like you.
Touch her bare skin and you're dead, kid.
- Watch out. - Huh? Dead?
Ah, I'll be careful.
This girl here's badly hurt!
Help her! Huh?
Call for a doctor right now!
It's me that you want, isn't it? So just let her go!
She has to get to a doctor before she loses more blood!
Please, I'm begging--
Step aside, kid, or you'll regret it!
Dammit, dammit!
Dad.
Mom!
Chi, dear, listen to me, okay?
In life you're going
to meet many different kinds of people.
And if you're lucky you'll even come across those who
will show you kindness.
Cherish those people.
If they're in trouble,
take a moment to pause.
And then move again to help those people.
Ah, screw it.
We'll kill you, too.
If you do I'm certain that
every one of those people
will become irreplaceable to you.
Don't move!
Did you just...
Your ability, it...
I don't know what's going on around here,
but I do know that it's thanks to me being such a big coward that
that girl ended up getting hurt!
Does this help? Can you use it?
I swear I won't freak out again!
Please, if I do this right,
is it enough for you to save her?
Oh, yeah!
Let's do this! Kid, you are wicked sick!
