Emi...

Message from NORAD.

Gravitational disturbance confirmed in anticipated area at Zulu 0216.

Indicates appearance of the Machina Linebarrel mentioned in communiqué.

This is the Secretary-General of the United Nations.

To all deployed units,

all personnel are to remain vigilant.

Any action is strictly prohibited until ordered otherwise.

As of this time,

full authority over this mission will be transferred

to the Special Counter-Machina Agency JUDA.

Hayase...

Go buy our lunch.

Today, we want curry bread.

All right, Hayase?

This turn of events again, huh?

Oh!

Hey!

What are you guys doing?!

Risako...

Linebarrel currently at altitude 200.

Speed 27,000.

Angle of descent at 0.5, traveling along anticipated course.

Prospective landing sites,

report your status.

This is Prospective Landing Site 1.

Evacuation of urban area complete.

Visibility's good, too.

This is Prospective Landing Site 2.

Likewise, we have completed evacuating the urban area.

Linebarrel entering atmosphere in 5 minutes!

You guys were trying to use Kouichi as an errand boy again, weren't you?!

Not really.

We were just messing around a little.

That's right.

That is such a lie!

It's despicable to pick on the weak!

Why would you do something like that?!

Risako.

Huh?

It's okay already.

I'll go buy your lunch. Curry bread, was it?

What?!

We'll be counting on you then.

We don't mean the ones from the school co-op.

We're talking about the curry bread from Hama Bakery.

Got it.

Wait... Kouichi!

You've got 10 minutes!

An attack from satellite weapons?!

Angle of descent has changed!

Veering away from anticipated course!

What? It came under attack?

I thought every country was thoroughly briefed.

Which country could it possibly have been?

Shutting down hacking into the satellite weapons.

Target shifting to induced course.

Arriving at estimated coordinates in 15 minutes.

Hey, Kouichi!

Class will start without you if you go all the way to Hama Bakery!

It'll take less than 10 minutes if I cut through the shrine woods, right?

Why go to all that trouble?!

Stand up to them for once!

No need!

In time, they'll be the ones who'll be following my orders!

What?

Because I'm righteous!

There you go again.

I have a power!

A great power that still lies dormant!

Talking about fantastical things like that won't get you anywhere.

You didn't used to be like this.

Shut up! Who cares what I used to be like?!

What's going on?

Oh!

Yajima!

Listen to this, Yajima! Kouichi's at it again!

The Linebarrel has completely deviated from its course.

New landing site is 35 degrees 8 minutes north latitude,

137 degrees 38 minutes east longitude,

in Miura City, Kanagawa Prefecture!

Could it be that JUDA's the target?!

Linebarrel, currently at altitude 100!

It has entered the atmosphere!

I see. Them again.

And all Kouichi does is pretend to act tough!

But just waiting isn't going to change anything!

Yajima, you tell it to him, too!

Kouichi, the only way to deal with guys like that

is to be firm and stand up to them.

If you can't do it on your own,

I'm always telling you that I'd help out, remember?

Champion of justice...

Huh?

I can take care of myself!

Leave me alone already!

Oh!

What's with you?!

Why can't we help you out?!

The three of us together, like we used to be!

Kouichi!

Linebarrel, currently at altitude 30.

Speed at 12,000 and descending!

Under 5 minutes to landing!

Thank you very much!

Target arriving at estimated coordinates in 3 minutes.

Crap!

Current altitude, 10!

Speed 6,000!

Time to adjusted estimated landing site, 15 seconds.

- 13. 12. 11. 10. - Ow...

9. 8. 7. 6. 5.

4. 3. 2.

1.

That's right, I knew.

That I would become strong one day.

I'd get to become a champion of justice.

But even as I ran away from the present like that,

in the end, this is...

...about as good as reality gets, isn't it?

Target crash confirmed.

Coordinates A-7.

I suppose having it land right on top of JUDA was too much to hope for.

Crash site is in Japan!

It appears to be on the Pacific Coast in Miura City!

Get me the damage situation of the crash site immediately.

Yes, sir.

Get me JUDA.

That's right. Send the Anti-Machina Task Force.

I don't give a damn if the UN transferred it to them!

All they did was grab the authority

and in the end, their estimates were way off the mark!

An enterprise of justice out to save the world, my ass!

What the?

If I remember right, something came falling down earlier and...

Oh, that's right! The curry bread!

Aww...

Oh, man...

What?!

Hey! My cell!

This is the worst turn of events ever.

N-Naked?!

Wh-Why?!

Hey, let's get out of here!

Things seem kind of dicey here!

I said, hey!

Since it's come to this...

I'm a man, too!

I heard a meteorite landed in the shrine woods!

Wasn't it a satellite?

Risako?

Kouichi said he was going to cut through the shrine woods...

What?

I can't get through to his cell, either...

All right! I'll go look for him!

I hear there was damage. Is everything all right?

Fortunately, it seems to have crashed in an uninhabited wooded area.

Just to be safe, we'll get to the site...

Sonar reading in Sagami Bay!

Three Katou Organization Armas approaching!

Oh, you awake?

Oh, there was something that looked dicey over there,

so I got us out of there.

Um...

Oh, I'm Kouichi Hayase. What about you?

So, you saved me?

What?

Well, I guess so?

Thank you.

N-Nah...

That's my shirt.

It's a mess, but it's better than not wearing anything, you know?

Thank you.

What's your name?

I don't know.

What am I doing here?

Let's get to my house to start with.

If you borrow my little sister's clothes, I'm sure we can make do...

All right.

- Get on behind me. - What?

Sit here.

Like... this?

Hang on tight, okay?

All right.

Was that too tight?

Oh, no, no. Okay, here we go!

All right.

I'm done.

How does it fit?

The underwear is... a little tight,

but everything else is fine.

Oh, okay.

So, have you remembered anything?

Oh, no. Nothing yet.

I see.

Well, don't panic and take your time remembering...

Wh-What the?

Is that one of those Arma things that belong to the Special Self-Defense Force?

I wonder if it's a new model. I've never seen it before.

Hah! They're all such clueless idiots!

Sawatari, do you read me?

Loud and clear,

Supreme Commander Katou.

The target's location is A-7.

A hilly area northeast of the urban district.

Roger that.

The SSDF, huh?

They showed up pretty quickly.

It's within the realm of imagination.

If they get in the way, have fun with them.

Then let's get the party started!

Come on, now, just imagine! What do you think will happen next?!

Wh-What are Armas doing in the city?

Those are... my enemy...

What?

Hey!

We are currently in a state of emergency!

Please follow instructions and evacuate swiftly!

All students are to assemble in the gymnasium!

Homeroom teachers, please take roll call for your class!

SSDF Task Force changing course towards the Katou Organization Armas!

Where are Moritsugu-kun and the others?

Approximately 25 minutes until they arrive.

Hey!

Hold on a second!

Shoes!

If you're going to run,

this isn't the way. You have to go the other way.

I'm sorry.

What was that?!

We'll secure the target later!

First, we crush those bastards!

Draw them out of the city!

Roger!

That's the spirit! Or it wouldn't be any fun!

Fan out!

Too slow!

Hirata!

L-Let's just get out of here!

Where are you supposed to go at times like this?

Those things...

We have to do something about those Armas!

Th-That's easy for you to say, but...

Kouichi!

Yajima!

I'm glad you're okay.

Risako was white as a sheet, saying she couldn't get through to your cell.

Oh... My cell broke...

Don't make her worry too much.

Who's she?

The details can wait.

The road along the river should still be passable.

We'll go back to school that way.

R-Right.

Everything will be fine now.

Come on, let's go!

Kouichi, hurry!

You damn terrorists!

Use your imagination to figure out if you'll hit me or not!

Yajima!

Kouichi...

Take her... and run!

But you...

Don't... worry...

It's always... been like this, remember?

Wh-Why?

I...

I... don't need you looking out for me.

I can take care of myself!

What? What?!

Emi...

I just remembered.

My name is Emi Kizaki.

Emi Kizaki...

Will you... fight together with me?

What?

If you have the will to fight,

summon the Linebarrel.

Come, Linebarrel!

What the heck is this Arma?!

Where did it come from?!

This is... the one I saw earlier...

So this is...

...the Linebarrel!

The Linebarrel has ported into the vicinity of the Katou Organization Arma unit!

What? What's going on?!

I thought the Linebarrel didn't have a Factor!

You seeing this, Supreme Commander?

Looks like it's found itself a Factor already.

The Factor may be a greenhorn, but we're up against an original Machina.

Don't let your guard down.

Yajima, you go hide somewhere.

- What? - I'll take care of the rest!

K-Kouichi?

Do you know what to do?

Yeah...

Line... barrel...

That's right! I can... control this guy!

- Captain! - We'll handle this!

All right!

Now, you're next!

You bastard!

You can withstand this level of attack!

What?

Here he comes!

Kouichi...

So this is...

...my power?

Yes.

This is a nice turn of events!

I'm the Unit 4 captain of the Katou Organization, Takurou Sawatari!

Are you one of JUDA's Factors?!

Juda? Factor? Hell if I know!

I'm Kouichi Hayase!

Champion of justice!

Kouichi... Hayase...

And you, coming at me to fight me, are evil!

So I will...

...defeat you!

Hah! Is that right?!

In that case...

Die!

Bastard!

Sawatari, change of plans.

Withdraw for now.

Damn!

Fine!

Next time, I'll kill you!

H-Hold it!

Katou Organization Armas have retreated.

I did it!

I've finally come into my power!

I knew it! I am righteous!

I'm no longer the guy who could only cry!

I'm not the guy who couldn't do anything!

Starting today, I'm the champion of justice!

K-Kouichi...

I'll never lose to anyone anymore!

Never again, from here on out!

I'm sorry.

There is no "from here on out."

Because you are...

...already dead.

Did you see that, Furuya?!

Now you know what I'm really made of!

I'm the chosen hero, the champion of justice, after all!

I'll repay you 10 times over for everything you did to me

and teach you a lesson!

So you better be ready for what's coming!

You're despicable!
