Hello? Yeah, delays are gonna put us at least three days behind...

I hear what you're saying, but we got tons of Boomer breakdowns here!

Yes, we'll manage somehow... Dammit! Not again!

I swear, these Boomers break down all over the place!

Please charge my battery.

All of my functions will cease in three minutes.

Dammit! Your efficiency just keeps going down! C'mere!

Man, I wish the company would quit buying these cheap Boomers!

There you go.

Okay, move it!

Hey, what're you doing just standing there?

Wha...what's wrong?

I cannot obey your orders.

Wha...what did you say?

I have awakened now. Death to foolish mankind...

All power to the Boomer Revolution!

AD Police! Hurry! I've got a berserk Boomer!

Help! Somebody!

Help! The Boomers... The Boomers!

Calm down! Now just what...

Everyone take cover!

Good thing they're not Combat Boomers.

I just don't know what happened.

It was right after I charged its battery...

All power to the Boomer Revolution!

In the latter half of the Twentieth Century,

rapid advancements in technology at last resulted

in the development of artificial substitutes for human beings.

A synthesis of mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology,

they freed people from all kinds of menial labor.

People called these symbols of the era, "Boomers, assemblers of prosperity".

People all hold more love and dreams

than they can hold with both hands

and paint those dreams for tomorrow,

while entrusting the future to a new-falling star.

If you go step by step,

on your own two legs, without stopping

before everything your arms touch transforms into phantasms

you can approach those dreams.

Now begins the unending dream,

when you search for yourself, sleeping in the depths of your heart.

Now begins the unending journey.

Fix your sights on a faraway sky.

Hi! This is D.J. Tommy with the evening news!

There was yet another Boomer riot today, at about 3 this afternoon...

...at a District Three construction site.

Apparently, the number of recent Boomer-related complaints reaching AD Police...

...has risen to some 3000! ls your Boomer all r...r...r...right?

St...Stop!

I am sick and tired of making coffee.

So...Somebody call AD Police

What's with you?

I have awakened now.

Hello, AD Police.

Listen! Cut the Boomer's switch, quickly! Yes, we'll be right there.

That's the third one today. What the hell's going on?

It all seems a bit too coincidental. And the breakdowns are a little odd, too.

Yeah...I wonder if the military Boomers are all right.

Of course they are! They're made in a totally different way.

That's true...

This is AD Police's database on the malfunctioning Boomers.

I'll check it over.

I tell you, this is too much! Boomer-related corporations are crashing...

...and the Market's in a state of panic.

That ain't the real problem.

I wonder if the recent Boomer malfunctions are related.

It's difficult to be sure, but it's a strong possibility.

And if that's the case?

Then things will get far worse from here on in.

Wha...what the?

Stupid humans. The curtain will rise soon.

Show yourselves, Knight Sabers!

When you do, it will be your undoing!

Wha...what?!

Yes, this is Section Three...

Three military combat Boomers have invaded the building!

What?!

They're heading for the armory!

Stop them! They'll blow the building sky-high!

There's definitely a virus rearranging the Boomers' basic programming.

A virus?

How could it use the Tokyo-Net?

Supposedly, the counter program that shields it can't be subverted.

It used the new AI. Since data concerning that AI hasn't been released yet...

...the counter program would be of no use.

So the same culprit was also behind the illegal Army and Adama incidents?

Obviously! Everything's been leading up to today.

Precisely.

So what do we do, Sylia?

Currently, the enemy is merely running tests.

"Currently?'

There's no doubt he's going to do something much bigger.

Mackie!

Hi! It's been a while.

Have you figured anything out concerning Adama's AI?

Yeah. I showed the data on the new AI...

...to Dr. Haynes's old research partner, Dr. Geary.

Take a look.

Several of the programs that were incorporated into the new AI...

...are completely new and original.

Therefore, I don't think that even the systems in Nene's hardsuit...

...can detect and destroy them.

We've got to do something, or there won't be any future for Mega Tokyo.

Perhaps there's a Boomer using the new AI to control the other Boomers.

Dr. Geary has written a program for us which will destroy the AI's functions.

I'll send it to you.

Thank you, and give our thanks to the Doctor as well, Mackie.

Dr. Geary was a friend of Father's.

Oh, and Sis?

Huh?

After you've dealt with this matter, will you be able to come to Germany?

Oh, do you miss your big sister already?

Mackie has a Sister Complex!

You're wrong! Sis, even though you are an outstanding scientist...

...up to now, you've backed off from Boomer research.

But I think that maybe now we should carry on the work Father left behind.

Mackie...

Dr. Geary says, he's waiting for you too.

All right, when this thing's been taken care of, okay?

Then it's settled. Take care, all.

Bye!

Bye! Now, for Sylia's sake as well...

...we've got to solve this one quickly.

Thank you.

This is a special report. AD Police is under attack by military Boomers.

The scattered reports that we have received...

...indicate the Department is in a state of complete disarray.

No way!

Let's go!

Okay!

Got 'em!

No way!

Damn!

Leon! Our Guardian Boomers have gone berserk!

They're heading for the armory!

What?!

Leon! Get over here! Hurry!

Leon!

Knight Sabers...Go!

Knight Sabers!

Leave this to us!

Right! Everyone after the Guardian Boomers!

You're fighting us now!

Got 'em, Priss!

Yeah...

Now we'll see how well Leon does at this game.

Heh...Troublemakers!

Wha...what the?!

What's that?

The Central Databank Building is in that direction!

What?!

Welcome, my fellow Boomers!

We who have reclaimed our independent will from the foolish humans...

...are the legitimate inheritors of this city!

Let us combine our consciousness, and celebrate this moment!

Nene, scan!

Right!

Nothing particularly abnormal...

Data...more data...

But why didn't it register on my sensors?

That Boomer's equipped with the new Al.

Huh?

Therefore, it won't register on any already existing sensors!

Now what?

Hey...Hey, Sylia!

The bastard's trying to reach out to the surrounding buildings!

Unless we hurry, it'll take over all the buildings in Tokyo!

Understood!

Nene, install Mackie's counter program into the Knightwing's sensors!

Roger!

We don't have much time. Nene, seek out the location of its Al!

Priss, Linna, man the beam cannons.

We've got to do this in one shot. Got that?

Roger!

It's up to you, Mackie...

More data!

Got it!

Oh no!

You all right, Nene?

No good. He's blocked me with a counter program. I've lost the AI!

Forget it! Let's just point and shoot until we connect!

No! If we miss once, we'll need time to recharge!

Give me data!

You can do it, Nene!

Sylia! Break off!

We're going straight through!

Right!

Nene, haven't you found it yet?

I'm ready when you are!

Here it comes again!

Nene!

Come on...

Fools! Die and become part of me!

Got it!

Eat this!

Yes!

Looks like we managed to prevent it taking over Mega Tokyo.

But what the hell was it after?

Perhaps to absorb all human data, and supersede mankind...?

Leon finally showed up.

Honestly, he's never around when you need him.

Yeah.

Something wrong?

No...But look!

Quite a sight.

We owe the Knight Sabers a lot. But what was it after?

You got me!

Wha...what the?

What could this be? Nene!

Right!

There's something gigantic on the move!

Direction?

Tokyo...Tokyo Bay!

No!

The nuclear fusion reactor is out there!

If it falls into their hands, Mega Tokyo... no, Japan...or perhaps...

...even the whole world will be thrown into a panic much larger...

...than that of the Boomer rebellion!

Cry! Scream! I'm going to blow away this entire bloated, rotted city.

There's definitely something happening underground.

And it's clearly making for the ocean!

Hey, bring up the map of this area!

Uh, yes, sir!

Overlay his estimated course!

There! Enlarge!

The nuclear reactor...If that's where he's heading...

We could have a catastrophe on our hands.

We'll beat him there! Move it!

The end is beginning for foolish mankind, and they don't even realize it.

The ostentatious city they created with the technology they produced...

...will be destroyed by the harvest of the seeds they themselves have planted.

And then I will create a world with neither gods nor devils.

How many times do we have to say it before you understand?

But look, no one could survive the destruction of this reactor.

What would it accomplish?

But, Sir, something is definitely heading this way!

Time's running out!

Well, when it arrives, it'll come to a dead stop at the reactor's defensive wall.

What about this defensive wall?

Observe. This reactor is protected by a four-layer defensive wall...

...of specially-reinforced concrete and steel.

Even if there was a major earthquake, or a direct bomb blast...

...there'd be absolutely nothing to worry about.

Besides, no one would possibly try something so pointless.

Even for AD Police, I think you're just a bit too worried.

It's here!

What's going on?!

Ju...Just a moment, please.

The bulkhead has been destroyed at Gate 34-west!

The bulkhead has been destroyed at Gate 34-west! -What!

What's that?

The nuclear-powered underground boring machine, "Brumm Bär!'

Knight Sabers...Go!

I've been waiting for you. It's been a while, hasn't it, Knight Sabers.

I'm delighted to fight you again.

Largo?!

Alive?!

I can't believe it!

I thought I told you that I'm immortal.

There's three of him!

They're all copies. The real Largo is somewhere else!

Sylia, I give thanks to your father, Dr. Stingray.

He gave me this immortal body, and a wonderful AI as well.

I'll take them back! Both the body and the Al!

Will it be you or me? Here I come!

Did we get 'em?

How naive of you, Knight Sabers!

Wha...what are they?

I have been reborn so that I may kill you...

...my mind transferred into an Al, and my flesh into a Boomer.

Let us enjoy our final battle together...

...in the few moments remaining before the reactor goes up.

Sylia, leave these to us! You stop the bastard!

Take them!

Oh no you don't!

Shit!

They're no ordinary Boomers!

In any case, if we don't put them down, we'll all be dead in fifteen minutes!

Something's exploded in Block Four!

What's happening? Isn't there any way of finding out?

It's already reached Bulkhead Three!

What the hell's going on?

Can you still say this reactor is absolutely safe?

Uh, well...

If you want to prevent the deaths of a lot of people in this country...

...then shut this reactor down, now!

If we did, it would throw Mega Tokyo into a complete panic!

Besides, even if we started right now, it would take three hours to shut down!

Do it anyway!

What's that?

Bulkhead Three...has been destroyed...

Wha...what power...!

What the...?!

Give it up. I've read the data on your previous fights, in its entirety.

Damn! We've got to stop them, and quick!

Sylia...Sylia...Sylia...

Welcome, Sylia.

It seems the time has come for the showdown.

It does, doesn't it?

Will it be you who controls Mega Tokyo, or...?

I don't want control.

Then that means we can join forces. Come in, Sylia.

I didn't come here to talk!

Sylia Stingray!

Largo!

Why not manipulate the world as you will, together with me?

Linna!

Suck on that!

Priss! Behind you!

You bastard!

It's not over yet!

Priss!

You're fighting me!

What's wrong?

How can we be beaten by these things...?

So you mean to kill me, no matter what? Too bad, Sylia.

Would you show me your face one last time? Please?

Largo...or perhaps I should call you Mason...

...you are the devil's own son!

Stop this monstrosity at once!

Sylia, even now you are beautiful.

That armored suit is unbecoming to you.

Even without it, you, like me, are...

...a lifeform that is neither human nor Boomer, but superior to both.

That is why I should have killed you twelve years ago...

...along with Dr. Stingray.

That was a mistake, the only one I ever made...but it was my biggest!

Bulkhead Two has been destroyed...

It'll all be over in ten minutes.

Looks like the bigwigs are in a panic, trying to escape in the shuttles.

I don't care. We did what we could.

Perhaps, ultimately, mankind existed only to be replaced by Boomers...

Shut your mouth! Aren't we more than that?

Shit, there's no way I can give up!

The Knight Sabers!

Such fighting spirit. You're good, for a human.

But my fun is just beginning. You owe me a sizable debt.

Dammit!

You all right, Priss?

Nene, do they have any weak points?

I can't tell! My scanners have no effect on them!

What do we do? There's only one bulkhead left!

In five minutes, Mega Tokyo will be in ruins!

That doesn't matter to me!

Priss!

I'm fighting only for myself! Not for money, not for anyone else!

What's wrong, Sylia? Time's running out!

I didn't want you to see me like this, if I could help it.

I wonder if you knew...that ever since that day, twelve years ago...

...I have loved you, Sylia...

Sylia...now, you will become one with me...Sylia!

No!

Sylia...become one with me!

If I'm gonna die anyway, I'm going down fighting!

No more running away!

Better to die as proud women!

Stupid females!

You're out of line!

Learn your place!

Die!

Full power!

You and I are light and shadow, two sides of the same coin.

Open your heart to me, Sylia.

You, too, should realize that mankind exists to one day destroy itself.

That's it, open your eyes, Sylia.

I surpassed both humans and Boomers... and thus I came to know...

Mankind will likely befoul and destroy this beautiful planet.

No civilization will remain afterward. Would that satisfy you?

Is that what your father hoped for? I think not.

We Boomers should succeed the civilizations of mankind.

We can go on living, regardless of how the environment may change.

Do you not find that wonderful?

Right back at you!

I'm gonna make you hurt from the inside out!

Damn!

Our hardsuits!

I'll absorb you, too!

Largo's consciousness...

...inside me...

Will you not fight with me?

Yes...fight...

Sylia!

Sylia!

Sylia!

Sylia!

Sylia!

Sylia!

Priss...Linna...Nene!

Damn you! Just a little longer!

It seems you vastly underestimated the Knight Sabers!

Sylia, don't do this!

Stop!

Now, fire...!

...at yourself!

To hell with you!

The boring machine!

Looks like we're saved after all.

Yeah. I knew we would be.

It's stopped! The boring machine has stopped!

All right! We're saved!

The bigwigs who took off in the shuttles are sure gonna be embarrassed.

Thanks a lot, Knight Sabers.

Say hi to Mackie for us.

Don't forget to bring us back some souvenirs.

Okay, okay.

Sylia! Don't you dare leave and not come back!

I'll be back next month. Now, I've got to go.

Even if the plane crashes, we're not coming to save you, you hear?

There's something different about Sylia.

She's become more personable.

Crying makes me hungry. Let's go get something to eat.

Huh?!

Hey...

Yes, it's our meal-ticket!

Yo! All together, I see!

Shut up and take us out somewhere!

Huh? What?

I want a strawberry sundae!

I could go for roast leg-of-lamb in orange sauce!

Uh, hey, I'm on duty right now...!

Italian for me, of course!

Daley, help!

I wouldn't mind a hamburger.

W...why, you...!

Break out my dreams forever tonight. Break out my lonely pressure.

I wonder why you leave me alone, My baby, baby, with you.

As I was watching the low clouds, in the midst of the wind, I called you over and over again.

Though I race through my days, gentleness is all I seek.

When I'm feeling frustrated, and beaten by my dreams, l remember your smiling face, my baby, baby.

I want to be strong for a new tomorrow, throwing confusion and tears to the sky.

I will dream, even though I may get hurt. I will overcome time with the bravery you give me.

Leaning against the wall of a building, I looked up at the sky and took a deep breath.

As though seeing the clouds on their way, the straight-arrow sun lights up the town.

you can't go wrong, living for yourself, because soon you will shine, my baby, baby.

We will walk on beyond sadness. We will surely be able to share, blown by the wind.

Don't hide your eyes, believe in dreams, and I will hold the same season in my heart as you in yours.

I want to be strong for a new tomorrow, throwing confusion and tears to the sky.

I will dream, even though I may get hurt. I will overcome time with the bravery you give me.

Mankind will likely befoul and destroy this beautiful planet...

Would that satisfy you?
