We're gonna get blown to smithereens!

Where did they go? Look out!

They disappeared!

Your blasphemy will be punished.

We gotta get him while he's off balance!

Can't believe it. They beat me.

There's something I don't want to do again.

Yeah.

009, are you all...?

Time for you to leave this world!

-009's somewhere underwater! -I'll get him next!

You're very fast when you're running away.

We're meeting back at the temple.

We're having a ceremony for Achilles.

All I have...

...is faith in myself!

Don't worry about it. 008 will find him and bring him back.

Right.

Everyone who fought got beat up pretty badly.

Come to think of it, it wasn't the easiest battle we've had.

If 001 hadn't gotten up, we would have been history.

He wakes up, saves our lives and goes right back to sleep.

Boy, has he got it easy.

Well, one thing is for sure.

We did a pretty good job distracting the enemy.

Except for the part where we got blasted, we did all right.

We showed a lot of teamwork. It threw those gods for a loop.

All right! This looks very promising!

I think these so-called Greek gods are really nothing more than cyborgs.

It would help explain their sudden appearance after all this time...

...but it does leave one nagging question:

Who had the resources to create them, and why?

It's very troubling.

Well, if we can believe what they say...

...they want to end all of the fighting on Earth...

...and the destruction that it causes.

I admire their goal, but certainly not their methods to achieve it.

Yes, what's to be gained by such wholesale devastation?

That's my question too. Why this obsession to destroy?

And what's the point of passing themselves off as gods?

We'd better get you fixed up.

In trying to figure this out, I'd forgotten how badly injured you were.

Let's start with you first, 004.

Where are you, 009?

You've made an effort, but the truth is...

...you haven't gotten rid of even one 00 cyborg despite numerous battles.

And in the process, you lost Achilles.

At this rate, you may all end up as footnotes in the history books again.

All right! I've heard enough from you!

Tomorrow we will vanquish the cyborgs for good!

Yes, Apollo. I bow to your judgment.

But tonight we hold a memorial service for our fallen brother.

-Go and prepare. -Yes.

We have just been unlucky.

We'll be victorious in the end. After all, we're gods!

Wow, déjà vu. That guy looks familiar. I wonder where I've...?

Holy hippodrome! Where did you come from?

Hey, wait a minute. No, no! Aren't hippos vegetarians?

Scissor, paper, rock!

I've gotta be more careful. There's no telling what's around this place.

Where has Artemis gone?

Don't get up too fast.

I only did a temporary dressing.

You did?

Thank you for that, but why save me?

I don't know.

Maybe I wasn't done trying to bring you around...

...to our point of view.

Humans have been fighting since the dawn of time.

They have killed each other over every conceivable issue...

...whether it be land, religion, greed, politics, jealousy or whatever.

And instead of learning from the results...

...each new generation starts the cycle all over again.

They don't pray to their gods for understanding...

...or tolerance or compassion, they only pray for victory.

It's a flaw in the makeup of human nature...

...and it's not gonna change any time soon.

You may be right.

Then why are you on the humans' side?

They gave you these powers for one reason:

To be a weapon.

Don't forget, we were all humans before we were made into cyborgs.

And not all humans behave the way you've described.

Most do.

"Most" is not all...

...and you're prepared to destroy all the humans for the misdeeds of some.

It's not a very godlike response.

Are you questioning our divine right to judge?

It's more than that!

From what I've seen, I'm questioning whether you're even a god.

All of you may just be humans who were turned into cyborgs.

When I see how aggressively Apollo and the others have reacted...

...I can only conclude they're really humans.

Either that, or humans are simply a reflection of character flaws...

...passed on by the gods.

Artemis!

He's lying to you. Don't listen to him.

I know I'm a god. I have to be a god. For the sake of my brother.

Are you sure Apollo is your brother?

How am I to answer such a question?

I have no proof we're blood relations.

We have no memory of our birth or childhood.

You must leave this island as soon as possible...

...or else you will all be destroyed.

No one else on this island will listen to your ravings.

They would consider them blasphemy.

Don't close your mind! You leave us no choice but to fight!

Artemis.

009, are you all right?

-I'll be fine. -All of the crew was worried.

We looked all over, but we couldn't find you.

It's a long story.

Hail to Achilles!

Welcome back, Artemis. What have you been doing all this time?

Nothing, really.

I decided to go out for a walk on the beach.

I see.

So, big sister, we've decided to make an example of the cyborgs...

...and eliminate them tomorrow morning.

Why is everyone in such a rush? In Achilles' memory, shouldn't we wait...?

I've had enough of these games!

Artemis, why are you always on the side of the cyborgs?

I'm not on their side!

Then explain why you saved the injured cyborg who was underwater.

You seem to have more in common with them...

...than you do with your own kind!

-Wrong! Apollo, I can explain. -I know what you're going to say:

You were entranced by his words.

Sister, I strongly suggest that you stay away from him.

-But why, Apollo? -That will solve that.

Once we dispose of these cyborgs, your rebellious streak will end.

But that's not what's going on here.

-I have some... -That's enough!

Don't get me angrier than I am already. Remember the pride of the gods.

Understood.

Atlas, Pan.

Now Apollo will lead you. Obey him.

Apparently, Artemis can't handle being a god.

Does it feel any better?

Yeah, it feels normal again.

-009! -I'm glad you made it back safely.

Sorry. I heard everyone was very worried.

Of course we were. All of us are a team.

That's right! Wait a minute, who put that bandage on you?

Artemis. She's the one who pulled me to shore.

I must admit, Artemis has a strong argument.

Humans have been a very aggressive species down through history.

It seems like that's the only way anything gets accomplished.

Advances in most fields come from war.

But, professor, that doesn't mean human beings...

...can't evolve into something better, given the chance.

I believe that. Humans have the ability to adapt.

-I want to believe that. -But...?

No "buts", just believe it. It's called positive thinking.

Yes, there's something to that.

Ta-da! I'm back from the temple of the gods!

You've been gone so long...

...we were afraid they'd offered you a godship or something.

That might not be as crazy as it sounds.

There was a strange-looking bloke at the temple that looked vaguely familiar.

Can you describe how he looked?

He was a little guy with a big black beard. Wait, here's a clue:

-Ta-da! -I can't believe it.

What? You mean you know who I am?

His name's Gaya, and he was Black Ghost's number-one scientist.

In the beginning, he did theoretical research on cyborgs with me...

...and we began applying and refining the technology.

But he had a big ego, and before too long, we split up.

He left the project to pursue his own vision of cyborg development.

He believed human characteristics...

...had no place in the make up of the perfect cyborg.

Why would you want to erase all their human memories?

That's what gives them perspective so they can use their powers...

-... in a balanced way! It's madness! -You're wrong, Gilmore!

Human memories will just interfere with operational efficiency.

Without the human baggage of emotional instability...

...they will perform like virtual gods!

That explains it. He must have kept up his experiments.

But Artemis feels a number of emotions...

...like compassion and sympathy and regret.

Gaya's experiments must have had mixed results.

I wonder if the others have flaws we can use to our advantage.

We need to find weaknesses in their armour.

Oh, yeah, there was one other thing.

I sensed there was a lot of energy coming from under that temple.

So I went down below the foundation and found this huge machine...

...which appears to be their main power source.

Oh, really? That seems important.

It is. That's what gives them the destructive force...

...to attack and destroy whole cities.

-Well, good morning. -You woke up just in time.

The world's in great danger.

These beings have the same psychic power as me.

And with that machine, they can more than double their strength.

That means they have the capability of destroying the entire planet.

We have to neutralise that machine immediately.

At least we know they're cyborgs, not gods. That levels the playing field.

I suppose so.

This fight could be deadly, couldn't it?

Yes.

Not a god, darn.

What do you want?

Good evening, Artemis.

Don't waste your breath. I don't plan on talking to Apollo ever again.

Actually, that works out quite well as far as I'm concerned.

I made you a god, but your programming was flawed.

You've been nothing but trouble.

-Just what are you saying? -I have no further need for you!

I know I'm a god. I have to be a god.

For the sake of my brother.

I believe the professor and I can destroy their power source.

007 and 008, you'll come with us.

-I've got your back. -I'm ready to rumble.

We'll leave the frontlines to 009 and the others.

They'll be attacking with full force.

I won't lie to you, it's going to be a difficult fight.

You trying to scare us? It's a little late for that.

Let's do it!

Foolish cyborgs, there's no escape. Your judgment day is finally at hand.

Now we'll see whose cyborgs are most powerful!

You're about to be taught a big lesson, Gilmore.
