NOVEMBER 30TH
23:40
[Tatiana] Mr. Billy?
Yeah, what is it?
[Tatiana] Why did you put your spurs on today?
[Billy] Why? Well...
To use the sound to see around me, of course.
[Tatiana] No, I know that.
What I mean is, you don't need them.
You have me.
I told you you can always count on me to be your eyes, didn't I?
[Billy laughs]
[Billy] Yep, that's right, Tatiana.
I need you.

[Anno] Chikara returns to Japan and his normal life
but it's only a fleeting reality until
he chooses which path to take.
Fuko and Andy head to Chikara's school,
awaiting his decision that will mark his future as a Negator.
That's where Rip, who they supposedly defeated,
finds them.
Rip tosses a gun Artifact
to them as a gift and upon touching it,
Fuko and Andy see visions that reside within:
The shadow of God who will destroy this world.
Andy declares he will defeat God
to forge his own destiny.
Rip can't help but laugh at his boastful nature.
Revealing his group Under,
Rip hints at an event in three months' time and vanishes.
Soon after, Chikara reflects on his misfortunes
and makes the choice to abandon his regular life
to fight with the Union.
Moved by his resilient bravery,
Fuko also reaffirms her resolve to fight.
Time flies by and it is now December 1st.
Apocalypse opens and new quests are about to be declared.
DECEMBER 1ST
MIDNIGHT
UNION FACILITY, ROUNDTABLE ROOM
[♪ tense music]
♪
[Juiz] We're all assembled, yes?
You may proceed, Apocalypse.
[Apocalypse] Quests open!
Be aware, these quests have the 100th penalty at stake.
For this round, all quests are open to everyone.
Which means every living being on Earth will have
the right to participate.
Open to everyone, huh?
Here it is.
[Apocalypse] There are a total
of 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.
[both gasping]
[Apocalypse] Quest deadline: December 31st.
If you fail to fulfill all four quests by
the deadline, the penalty will be...
The addition of UMA Revolution.
R--Revolution?
So even people like Mui can take part in this one.
Indeed.
People outside of the Round Table
are free to give aid which implies we're facing opponents
at that grand of scale.
Round Table or not, we must unite the--
[Billy] Mind if I jump in?
[Tatiana] Hmm?
What is it? Speak.
As apocalypse has just said, if we fail this,
we'll get hit with the 100th penalty,
and I don't see them being that easy to complete.
If some of us wind up dead before we even get a shot
at the 101st penalty,
then that seals the deal on our defeat,
don't you think?
Three out of four UMAs need to be neutralized.
We kill them and we're good.
So I say...
How about we just drop a few nukes on 'em?
[Tatiana] Wh--What are you saying, Mr. Billy?
If we do that,
innocent people will be killed, too.
Yeah, so they would.
But that's all we would lose.
[Tatiana] Huh?
You're too naive, Juiz.
You really are.
Always seeking the best outcome as if this won't be your one
and only shot.
What are you getting at?
[Billy] I'm saying that you can't do it.
You can keep trying thousands, even millions of times,
but you-- not a single one of you...
- [gasps] - Has what it takes to kill God.
[grunting]
[Andy] That weird feeling I've had since Unseen got taken...
[Apocalypse] Capture of Negator Unseen, failed.
How very unfortunate.
Huh?
Yeah, 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.
The run-ins with those guys all over the world...
[slurps]
Remember the name Under.
'Cause in three months we're gonna turn this world around
and make it fair.
[operator] Calling all off-mission members.
Round Table members are currently engaging
in battle with Negator hunters in Egypt and China.
Join us and I'll personally put in a good word for you two.
[Andy] What he said back then-- don't tell me...
[Billy scoffs]
This scenario's a first for you, huh, Juiz?
You're taking mighty long to decide what to do.
Isshin! Isshin!
[Juiz gasps]
Help them! Hurry, please!
- You have to! - [Nico] Yeah, I'm aware!
First remove their armor. Let's see the wound.
I managed to bump off Unbreakable, eh?
That's perfect.
[grunts] Top, no!
[Shen gasps]
[Tatiana] N--No!
Top, what did you do?
Mr. Billy! He's--
Don't give me that!
He attacked us all!
Just look at Isshin!
He's clearly a no-good traitor!
[Andy grunts]
[exhales sharply]
[gasps]
[Tatiana gasps]
[bones snapping]
[Andy gasps]
Devoid of all light,
bearing the burden of negating whilst being forced
to endlessly fight.
[Apocalypse snarling]
[Billy] Why should we lament the lives of the incompetent?
It's only right to utilize their lives as well.
That's what I'd do. Otherwise...
It's rather unfair.
[both grunting]
[Billy] I'll be taking the Round Table.
It's property of Under now.
And the one who will kill God is me.
UNDEAD UNLUCK
Wh--What's going on?
Did Mr. Billy just betray us?
Seems that way.
[whimpers]
[gasps] Uh, Tatiana, he's just, um--
Yo! Been a while, huh?
[gasps] Unrepair!
And his wife!
[laughs] You think she's my--
[chuckles]
That's a no.
[both groaning]
Hey!
Have you been working out or something?
You are lookin' pretty good!
Huh?
Who, me? I guess.
I have been working my butt off in training.
[Kid Rip] Uh, you know what, never mind!
Sorry, you are far away, so...
[groans]
[snarling]
[Andy] That confirms it.
If he's wrapped up with those two
then Billy has to be a member of Under.
No!
[Tatiana] That isn't Mr. Billy!
You don't know the first thing about him!
When Top kicked him,
his neck was snapped and then he just repaired himself!
But Mr. Billy couldn't do that! That's not his ability!
Mr. Billy's ability is Unbelievable!
It only works with guns.
See, he shoots in a direction that's bound to miss his target
and the bullet ricochets for a sure hit!
It's true.
I'm the only one Mr. Billy ever told it to.
- [Fuko Izumo] Huh? - [Andy groans]
[Chikara whimpering]
Wh--What is--what in the world is going on here?
That thing looks like a monster summoned straight out of "FF!"
[Fuko groans]
We'll explain everything later.
Just fall back for now.
But I can-- I can help!
You can help by not getting killed.
[whimpering]
Just till I've calmed down!
- You can leave it to us! - [Andy grunts]
[laughs]
Unmove's still the same old scaredy cat.
[shouting]
Well, guess we're in luck,
'cause he's the one that got me last time, you know?
Bringing Burn along paid off already,
don't you think, Boss?
B--Boss?
See, what did I tell you?
No matter how you look at it, he's a no-good traitor!
[gasps]
[groans]
Oh, no, Top!
[coughs]
[Andy] He's so fast!
How the hell...
[Tatiana whimpering]
So that's Unstoppable, huh?
It's a fine ability.
But the shut-off condition's quite a brutal one.
You're unable to stop moving unless
the shape of your body undergoes a dramatic change.
- That right? - [bones snap]
No matter, though.
In my current state, it's only a minor inconvenience.
You have my thanks, Undead.
- [bones snapping] - [both grunting]
[Shen] My ability, it's not kicking in.
I knew I didn't like this guy!
[grunts]
- [grunts] - [bones snap]
[Billy grunts]
[both grunting]
[Billy] Now here's a marvel of Negation ability.
You can peer right into people's hearts.
[gasps]
[groaning]
One bound to protect others.
[gasping]
One bound to live and shoulder the role of leader.
And one bound to fight powerful foes
in hopes to become stronger.
Those are your visions of justice being negated,
are they not?
[Juiz] Is that my unjustice?
How is he using it?
[Billy] It's particularly effective against people.
This will come in handy.
I'll gladly take these for myself,
along with the Round Table.
[gasps]
- [grunts] - [gasps]
Move them, Burn.
[whimpering]
Tatiana.
Join me.
I'll be in need of your ability as well.
[auctioneer] And now for the main auction item of the night.
This right here's a little Negator girl
from Russia who negates the touch of any and all things!
- [gunshot] - [all screaming]
- What in the hell are-- - [gunshot]
Are you Tatiana?
Just put your gun in my mouth and fire.
That'll do the trick and then I can die.
[muffled grunt]
[whimpers]
[Billy] It said you're usually fed liquid food through a tube,
but I thought you might like these a little better.
How are they?
Hmm?
[Tatiana] What other flavors did you make?
[Billy] I saved your life. Now return the deed.
Listen, I'm sorry about the other day.
I was hoping we could shake and patch things up.
[Tatiana] I can't.
As you can plainly see, I'm--
Please, it's fine.
I want to shake your hand exactly as you are,
and I want you to shake mine, as unlucky as it is.
And someday when we're free of our Negator powers
and our bodies are normal at last...
Let's go out together hand-in-hand, okay?
[Tatiana] Okay.
You want to return to a normal body, don't you?
- Then come. - [gunshot]
I know very well how it feels to have no sense of self worth,
but someone comes along and saves your life anyway.
And I know how important that person can become to you.
But what I don't know is the sadness
that must come when that same person
is the one to betray you!
[whimpering]
I understand. You're with them.
In that case,
you're my enemy as well, Untouchable.
[whimpering]
[Billy] Let's go, Burn.
He's trying to escape by melting the ceiling!
We must stop him!
[Andy grunts]
[Juiz] If he steals the Round Table we lose our only way
to oppose God.
We must retrieve it by any means necessary.
We've come so far.
If we don't stop him now, it'll all be over!
I've got a boat load of questions for ya.
But I'm on it.
Don't forget what you said, though.
We're to use any means necessary.
[grunts]
[snickers]
It's been a while, so give me a real doozy!
- 'Kay, Fuko? - Right!
I see.
You're relying on Fuko's unluck.
Burn is quite strong, you know.
Can you pull it off?
We've got a shot this way.
See, the girl that was on top of Burn's head was the same one
I described back in September's report.
As long as she's in the picture,
straight up attacks won't hit.
So we'll bank on Unluck's random factor.
[grunts] Sounds like a solid plan.
Let's go with it.
Attention all Union members!
Billy has betrayed us and seized the Round Table!
Starting now,
we're mounting an operation
with Undead and Unluck.
We must retrieve the Round Table at all costs!
Our primary objective is to disable Burn!
As long as we stop Burn,
they can't walk off with the Round Table.
- Nico. - Huh?
[Juiz] I need you focused
on treating Isshin and Top.
Enlist the lab members to help.
Full facility control.
Stop Burn in its tracks!
[scoffs] No choice, then.
Hey, it's up to you, Mico. Handle this.
For real, Pop?
[grunts] Roger, Dr. Nico!
Seriously?
As they flee,
they may attempt to abscond with Artifacts.
Shen, take Phil and go protect them.
[grunts]
[Juiz] You have my permission to use any Artifact
in the depository.
Do not fail.
Chikara, if you can,
I'd like you to use your ability to stop my bleeding.
Can you do it?
Roger! I'll do my best!
Finally, Tatiana, as for you, stand by.
Don't you worry.
Just leave it to me, 'kay? It'll be fine.
I'm sure there's a reason behind all this.
This isn't like Mr. Billy. He's wonderful and kind.
You know that, don't you?
Better than anyone else, I'm sure.
[Tatiana] Yeah.
Please, go save Mr. Billy!
[Fuko grunts]
Fuko!
Well, I guess that's my cue.
Here goes.
[Tatiana] Fuko.
Commence operation!
All personnel provide full support
for Undead and Unluck!
all: Roger!
