-All set, Kenneth? -Okay here, Doctor.

All right, start the camera!

In hooking a human subject up to a PSI-scanner

we can clearly see all sorts of images and shadows displayed.

This is known as the "mind shadow".

Within this shadow lies a still unexplored universe.

What we call the "life force" blows through this inner cosmos like a wind.

I have chosen to call this wind "Vajura".

This device, the "Mandala", will amplify the mind shadow

increasing the Vajura component to infinity.

It's finished, Kenneth!

Our Mandala!

How do you feel, Tanya?

It's incredibly exhilarating... But without being tiring.

As the Vajura level increases, it will give birth to

a hitherto hidden power of unbelievable proportions.

From that inner cosmos of creation and annihilation will come the child.

My child... Genocyber!

The nine day meeting of the Council of Advanced Nations

ended on a genial note, with the delegates issuing a

joint declaration announcing the resolution of the Mid-East question.

The Council president also declared the final elimination of

individual national armies with the strong probability of Japan, China,

and Israel agreeing to join their remaining military might

with the new United Nations Troops.

What's it take to get through to you, little piece of shit?!

Come on, he just isn't that good yet.

Zip it! How'd he screw up this bad?!

After we work so hard to get rid of that counterfeit money

you go and let someone pay you back with it!

Man, is he pissed!

Won't be letting him off easy THIS time!

Never should of taken you on in the first place.

Now get lost! You'd be doing us a favor.

Come on, let's find us a little tail.

Sounds good to me!

The Council president is proposing basing the UNT in orbit

in order to facilitate the delegates' declaration, isn't he?

That's correct.

So, if this plan becomes reality

we've seen the last of individual national armies, haven't we?

Well, this still doesn't include all "military forces" in the world.

For example, there's still the case of the weaponry

held by many of the world's corporations.

He was an assistant instructor at the Kyuryu Science Institute, right?

Has a motive been determined yet?

Could this be backlash against Japanese corporations moving in?

No comment!

I may get some clues from an old friend at the Kyuryu Institute.

For example, take the Kyuryu Group, a Japanese corporation.

They're a world-spanning conglomerate specializing in weapons development.

I suppose you can call it a type of army.

Kyuryu Science Institute.

Thank you for being here tonight.

It appears we have a long way to go

before the world can be completely free of weapons.

Heaven... Gods... War... Nation...

Yes... Most impressive.

Have him moved to a third-level class tomorrow.

Yes, sir.

Yes?

Some police officers wish to see you, sir.

One of them says to tell you "It's Davey".

I see. Bring them to my room in ten minutes.

They say there's never any point looking back at the past in this city.

And it was 13 years ago

14 years, since that "incident" at the Morgan Institute.

Incident? "Accident" is what you mean.

I was a lot younger then, and not nearly as careful in my research.

It's a shame we lost Dr. Morgan

Kenneth Reed!

I swear, if you've resumed Morgan's insane research, I'll shut you down!

I've no idea what you're talking about.

I assumed Ho Lown's death was fairly cut and dry.

He was involved with the city's underworld, wasn't he?

Just have to keep jerking me around, huh?

Consider this a courtesy call. I'll come back here, soon.

And when I do, that'll be it for you!

Get out!

Stop it, Diana!

Get out.

And don't come back, ever!

Father...

So, Elaine removed her Vajura restraint necklace.

Yes.

I can't complete my research without her.

You, more than anyone, must realize that.

I do...

We have to find her as soon as possible.

And for that, I need you!

But Father...!

We can't allow anyone outside this institute to see the power of Vajura.

Yes, Father...

Are you turning against me now, after I saved your life?!

N... Not I'm grateful for everything!

Without me, you wouldn't be alive. Never forget that.

Elaine Reed. She's our next target.

The file they sent over says her power's pretty dangerous stuff.

Like we've never had to take down an Esper before?

Yeah, yeah. This'll be a milk run.

Anyway, once we find her, we take her back to Tokyo.

She can be minus an arm or a leg, just as long as she's alive.

Elaine's currently in a peaceful mindset.

She hasn't been this stable since she escaped.

Good. This is our best chance, then.

Father... Do I exist just to control Elaine when she goes wild?

That machine was built because only you can control Elaine's Vajura.

She doesn't understand how to control her power!

She's dangerous! To you, and to me...

Diana! Start dealing with this!

I need both of you alive. Both of you!

Okay, we're ready.

What the hell's this? It's terrible...

There! Freeze it!

I'll try to ID her, and anything else I can.

So who's this girl? Looks like she was following Ho.

She almost looks like... Can that be it?

That was pretty sharp detective work

your spotting her in an outtake from a TV series they were shooting.

She may be the key to this whole case. We have to alert the entire city.

Right, I'll get on it...

And now it's time for "Hong Kong Tonight."

We'll start off tonight with news of a kidnapping case.

One... Two... Three... Four, and this makes five.

There's your cut.

Thanks.

Keep up the sales and you get more.

Always a pleasure, boss.

By the way, where's that other kid?

He wasn't worth the trouble, so I got rid of him.

He's probably somewhere pissing in his pants and crying his eyes out.

Crying? I doubt it.

I saw him yesterday in the city, going around with an older girl.

No shit?

Yeah. Maybe you guys can get some pointers from him on picking up women!

Not bad at all...

You hogging the fun all to your lonesome?

So, why don't you dump the little shit and have some real fun with us?

What's your name?

Common, what's your name?

...Say something! ...You're wasting your time.

Oh well, we can have some fun and then take her to the boss for more money.

Come on, you!

I want you to get a good look at this.

Should you do it in front of a little kid?

Let's see how little he really is.

So, feel good? Huh?

What are you wearing?

Now, just be nice and quiet...

What... What the hell?!

Come home, Elaine!

Restrain your Vajura!

One... Two... Three... Four...

FIVE!

She escaped?

She dodged my shock wave and broke through the barrier I set up.

...Can you locate her? ...Yes, but she isn't alone!

What?!

She took a street kid with her!

80, someone's spotted the kidnapped girl?

Confirmed by a bunch of eyewitnesses.

Get some cops to board at the next station and keep an eye on her.

Until this is over, don't lose that train!

Shall we go?

What do we want with the kid?

Romeo's our insurance, in case Juliet decides to be uncooperative.

I get you.

What's wrong?!

Oh God... Get 'them out!

The bugs... They're crawling into my head!

Calm down! What bugs?

Get a hold of yourself! Where do you see bugs?

They're eating my brains out!

God dammit...

Father, why didn't you let me go after her?

Elaine's Vajura power is far greater than we expected.

We have to be careful, or else you'll be in danger.

So, what do I do now?

Impose your Vajura onto her mind, and try to take control of her.

What's wrong?!

No...

Diana!

I'll do it... For you. But why? Why her?!

Do as I say! You and Elaine were born to a common destiny.

I can't afford to lose either of you!

Now that I'm on the verge of completing the project

you have to lose sight of your purpose?

I'll do it, Father...

There's something weird about that girl.

Weird? How?

Can't put my finger on it, but she's special, somehow.

In what way?

I don't know. Maybe you should ask that other detective.

He hasn't left her side since she came here.

14 years ago...

That was when I first heard of

Dr. Nguyen Morgan's development of a new strategic super-weapon.

If completed, it could've upset the balance of power in the world.

But then the Morgan Institute was destroyed by an unexplained explosion.

The professor and his wife were killed.

The weapon, and all data on it, were lost forever.

And then, five years later, his partner, Kenneth Reed

became director of the Kyuryu Science Institute.

The head of the Kyuryu Group, Daijiro Kyuryu, gave him

complete backing to set up an independent research institute.

Hell of a career break, wouldn't you say?

What's this? His daughter?

Yeah. Now look at the next one.

The face is a little hard to make out

Tanya Morgan?!

Yeah. And obviously very pregnant, too.

Then you're saying...

She didn't die in the explosion,

but after it, giving birth to a little girl.

So this child is...

The lost posterity of Dr. Nguyen Morgan.

One month later, my informant unexpectedly died of a heart attack.

All the files he had kept on his investigation were stolen.

This girl is Morgan's daughter, kept hidden all these years.

And somehow, she's the sister of that girl at Reed's place!

She'll be what I need to take down both Kyuru and Reed!

So I've finally caught up with you, Elaine.

Come home with me.

We belong in that building... Don't you see that?

Father is so worried about you.

He's not my father.

What are you saying?

I can't let you into me.

Always the disobedient child, aren't you?

Your body may grow, but you still have an infant's mind.

Diana... You'd die.

I'd die?!

I'm not going back.

Oh my God...!

Very well, then. I won't ask you anymore.

You little monster

I hate you. I hate everything about you!

Diana, no! Stop it!

You won't cause me any more grief after I kill you!

It's begun.

So, shall I rip you apart? 80 you can be just like me?!

All right... Elaine, stop it! PLEASE!

I DON'T WANT TO DIE!

Elaine Reed! Stay where you are!

Now come along quietly with us.

That is, unless you want your raggedy little bodyguard to die.

Get Diana back at once!

We have to get her into the Mandala before it's too late!

Who the devil?!

Don't fight us, Reed.

Or shall we turn everyone here into corned beef?

I see... You were sent from the corporate headquarters.

Properly speaking, we're company agents.

You've made some... arbitrary decisions.

The CEO of the Kyuryu Group is very interested in your research,

and so a decision was made.

We were ordered here to take Elaine Reed back with us.

But she's dead. Because Diana, the only one who could

control Elaine's Vajura, couldn't exist with her.

Talk, Reed! We couldn't find Elaine's body anywhere.

What did Diana do with her?!

Diana, in her madness, tried to kill Elaine.

But Elaine lost control of her Vajura beyond any predictions.

When that power was released, it may have transformed her.

Vajura has influenced everything in their lives.

They were strongly affected by it since their birth.

It's the reason Diana was born with non-functioning limbs,

and Elaine has the mind of a wild animal.

I later discovered that Elaine possessed a multiple mind shadow

although it was Diana who first sensed it.

She apparently was unconsciously able to enter Elaine's mind.

That's enough... Stop it, Reed!

That's when Diana began to control Elaine.

And Elaine began to comprehend what it meant "to live".

I constructed a new Mandala, to fuse their powers together.

The fusion of light elements, as in nuclear fusion

will release incredible amounts of energy.

Similarly, Elaine's mind shadow amplified Diana's powers.

That's when I knew for certain it would work!

If I were to somehow combine the two of them

they'd produce an incredibly powerful Vajura level...

You're talking out of your asshole, old man!

The guy's a megalomaniac with a Frankenstein complex.

So now what?

We take him and Diana back to Tokyo.

We'll need them to explain what happened to Elaine.

Diana!

Why? Why did you kill her? Why did you have to interfere?!

Why did I suffer all those hardships?

What was the point if you can't live without my help?

Tell me! Tell me, Diana!

Di... a... na...

Who's here? Who's in here with me?

There, do you hear it?

A boy.

No, it'll be a girl.

Who is he?

What is this?

It feels so familiar, so warm...

Kenneth, what's the meaning of this?!

Father...

We need more extensive facilities for our Vajura research.

Kenneth, you bastard! You've gone over to Kyuryu?!

Who are you?! You're still inside of me.

What's going on?

Are you saying?!

It's you, isn't it? Elaine.

I'm seeing everything that you saw.

You knew who our real father was.

But, I didn't know! I couldn't know!

I... I

I was born as a part of you!

How can you say that when you know it's the truth?!

Kenneth Reed is my real father!

He gave me this body because he loves me!

Your body's dead! Stay out of mine!

What the...

That boy?

Stop it! Stop it, Elaine!

I know what you're trying to do. But I don't want you to!

You're dead! Can't you see it's over?

Stay away from me! Get out of my mind!

This is my body! I WANT TO LIVE!!!

Di... a... na... a.

ATC, we've just spotted an explosion of the ground.

Can we still land?

I don't know.

Until I can get confirmation, you'd better hold up there.

Roger. Circling Hong Kong.

Are you kidding?!

What the?

We can't get near the fires to put them out!

Why? How the hell should I know?!

Just start evacuating everyone out of here!

Can't... move...

All my systems are locked... But why?

What was?!

Control, can we land or not? I'm running out of fuel up here!

Stay up there! Don't try to land!

It's beautiful.

What is that thing?

Why are you asking me? I just know one thing...

I want it DEAD!

So do I.

Oh God, it's so beautiful!

Here I am.

We won't be able to play together anymore.

I really liked it.

I've never had that much fun in my life.

But, I have to go now.

I'll always love you. Good-bye.

Good-bye...

Guh...

Good...

Buh...

"BYE"!

Elaine... Elaine...

Diana...

We live.

I want you, and love you Fairy Dreaming.

I lie in bed tonight, counting the stars above.

And once again, I call out to you.

The bustling town, sparkling outside.

Shining like a dreamy rainbow, little my dear Fairy.

It was a little lie, an important one.

One that I couldn't say.

The dream I had, on this night, about you, my darling...

Now I know, I'll never have that dream again.

I don't have the strength to stop the hands of time.

So don't forget my darling I love you, Fairy Dreaming.

Oh let it come again, my fading dream.

It drifts away, a sweet night's memory.

But just for now, I know I love you so.

Since that day, that you held me close.

I can finally tell you now, that tiny, important lie.
