Ad 2133: Peace and order were disrupted by conventional warfare.

Half of humanity was wiped out,

and many who had been wounded in the war were revived as cyborgs.

In conjunction with the establishment of a cease-fire

the neutral city Olympus was founded,

and would later assume a role of arbitration in global dispuies.

Harmony and order in the world...

Humans cohabit Olympus along with cyborgs

and "bioroids" - a third race created from the human genome,

but with certain emotions like anger and hate suppressed.

Armed criminals have kidnapped

some high-ranking e.U. Officials.

They're barricaded in an abandoned cathedral.

Motives and demands are unknown,

as well as the number and makeup of the group.

The local police can't handle it.

Combat cyborgs could also be involved.

Watch yourselves.

We move in at 22:45 sharp.

Synchronize your watches to 22:30.

3...

1.

Now!

Cutting-edge cyborg plus analog watch... Now there's an odd combination!

Its heart beats just like mine.

The sound will get you shot.

You tell him, deunan! He's your partner, right?

Oh, for cryin' out loud! You two are meant for each other!

Approaching target. Drop point confirmed.

Drop point clear. All units, go!

Deploy quickly! No time to lose!

I'm at the outside corridor. I'm going in now.

30 seconds until we go in. Everything's ready.

Flash bomb confirmed inside the cathedral!

Damn that deunan...

Move in now! On a three-count:

3... 2..1

Go! Run!

Right, clear!

There're more above!

Secure the hostage!

Above us!

Are you all right?

Take care of the hostages!

Got it!

They're all cyborgs! What's going on?

You'll have to ask them!

I think that should do it.

What are you after?

Do you hear me? Answer!

All will... be... one...

I am hal... con...

Damn! He's gonna self-destruct!

Are you all right, deunan?

Briareos?

Briareos!

Wait, deunan!

Let go! Let go, aeacus!

Briareos!

Briareqs!

A construction landmate is on the rampage in sector b-47.

A request has been put in fo dispatch es w. A.T.

Team 2, head fo the wasp hangar

in delta formation immediately.

Repeal:

A construction landmate is on the rampage in sector b-47.

A request has been put in fo dispatch es w. A.T.

Team 2, head fo the wasp...

Commander Lance.

Is this deunan?

I heard the dispatch. I'm actually right near b-47 now.

Aren't you off-duty today?

Looks like I'm already here.

We'll be there soon. Don't do anything reckless, deunan.

This is nuts!

Get out!

What's all the racket?

That son of a bitch...

He started going ballistic in the landmate because he got fired!

Look out!

Come on, run! This way!

Get up!

- Where's the stop switch? - On his back.

Taking off now.

They all treat me like shit!

Goddamn it!

Take this!

You're late!

Shit!

Now?! I know!

You lousy bitch!

Shit!

Get off me, damn it!

Shit!

Dammit! It's not moving!

What are you going to do? Let me out of here!

We showed up for nothing, huh? You overdid it!

So where is the suspect?

He's stuck over there.

That a new guy?

Oh, right... let me introduce you.

You can do that tomorrow. See you at headquarters.

His name is tereus.

He'll be your new partner.

What's the meaning of this, administrator Nike?

Watch your mouth, deunan!

Briareos is still in critical condition!

Why at a time like this?!

I already told you.

Tereus has the fighting potential to fill the opening left by briareos.

That's not what I'm asking!

“Why did we assign a bioroid with briareos' old human face?"

That's what you're wondering, right?

Come with me, deunan.

As you know, we bioroids are created from human DNA,

designed for a certain goal.

Unlike humans, bioroid emotions are suppressed.

The reason why the crime rate is so low in Olympus

is because we serve to mitigate conflict in human society.

However, there is still no end to conflict in the world.

We have therefore decided to produce bioroids

with high combat capabilities to uphold public order.

Tereus serves as our test case.

He fights for law and order.

Unlike humans, anger and hatred will not drive him to fight.

The majority of his genetic code is taken from briareos.

Why briareos?

After comparing the combat data of all es.W. A.T. Members,

we found him to be the most qualified.

And only he has been able to adapt to the hechatonchires machine body.

His physical and mental strength are truly remarkable.

You were formerly briareos' partner,

which is precisely why we want you to assess tereus' capabilities.

I can't agree to that!

This matter has been already decided.

Hitomi!

I just got back from overseas.

I heard about briareos.

Yes?

Deunan, briareos has come lo.

What? Really?!

The plan for the global security network that we advocate

unites the world's observation and communication satellites

under Olympus' control,

this will enhance our capacity fo monitor synchronized terrorist acts.

Say, what's that?

Hm?

Always behind the latest trends aren't you, deunan?

Come on, don't give me that.

Here, look at this one.

It's a "connexus': A multi-media terminal

that lets you access the network directly with your brain waves.

Try it on.

I guess they're like the next generation of mobile terminals.

No one knows who originally built them,

but anyone can make a copy using open-source code available online.

These things are a huge hit all over the world.

I see...

Open the message on the right.

What is it?

Birthday party?

You have to come, okay?

So how old are you, hitomi?

That's a secret!

Never ask a bioroid her age.

Briareos!

Whoa, hold it right there! No hugging, all right?

You'd end up breaking him to bits again

after they just finished putting him back together.

Go.

At this rate, he'll be out of here in about a week.

Really?

Briareos is lucky.

Dr. kestner is the head professor of the Olympus science academy,

and an expert on cyborg medicine. Your buddy's in good hands!

He's also my primary care physician!

So much flattery...

Well, if you'll excuse me.

What's new with the investigation?

The terrorists were all cyborgs, like we thought.

After re-examining the five recent terrorist incidents,

we learned that four had been carried out by cyborgs.

Terrorist acts carried out by cyborgs...

What are they after?

It's still unclear.

But we do have some clues.

We confirmed abnormal radio waves in the surrounding areas.

Their patterns closely resembled a brain-washing virus program

developed back during the war.

You mean they were being controlled?

It's one possibility.

Lots of cyborgs out there have poorly-protected parts, unlike us.

If someone's plotting terrorist acts using those cyborgs...

It's a vexing matter.

We have no idea who we're dealing with or what they want.

You can't afford to be lying around like this, bri!

Don't be ridiculous. I can't be out there in this condition!

- So when do these cords come off? - Don't pull on that, you idiot!

Hey, deunan, give it a rest!

There they go again.

I fixed this for you.

It's tougher than me, huh?

So have you heard about that guy named tereus?

Yeah, before you came.

Whoever they assign to me,

remember that you're one of a kind as far as I'm concerned.

Go back, deunan!

- Deunan! Are you all right? - Briareos...

I'm... alive, right?

Yeah, you're alive.

Thank you.

I'll protect you, even if the world comes to an end.

Briareos...

I am yoshino, special representative from Poseidon.

I am Nike, administrator of Olympus.

Prime minister Athena is waiting.

As you see, most cyborgs that were involved in the terrorist plot

were using parts made in Poseidon.

What is your take on this, representative yoshino?

We traced the cyborg parts in question by serial number

to the lab that shipped them out and shut it down immediately.

Other departments have enacted countermeasures as well.

However, it would be most regrettable for you to draw further connections

between the terrorists and Poseidon.

Then you mean to say that Poseidon has absolutely nothing to do

with this latest terrorist act?

As you know, Poseidon is the world's largest industrial conglomerate.

Most of its profits come from trade with other countries.

Siding with terrorists would bring us no profit whatsoever.

If Olympus were to boycott products made in Poseidon,

other countries would likely follow suit.

A devastating blow to our business.

We have issued the same message

to all businesses that may have been involved in the incident.

We cannot give Poseidon special consideration.

I believe one topic at the upcoming international conference

is the matter of Olympus managing the satellite systems

and enhancing their surveillance capabilities, correct?

This contains a program to control Poseidon's satellite network.

Please feel free to use it.

Cutting a deal?

Consider it as a contribution to global welfare.

I wouldn't expect to hear that from a business selling tools for war.

Then I ask you:

What is the purpose of the Olympus' military force?

Do you believe you can protect the world without force?

That will have to be discussed at another time.

We'll be looking forward to a favorable reply.

Oh, thanks.

- Happy birthday! - Happy birthday, hitomi!

Happy birthday!

I'd like to thank you all so much for coming tonight.

Please enjoy the party!

Happy birthday, hitomi.

Thank you, yoshitsune.

Who is that hiding over there?

Come on, get over here!

- I didn't even recognize you! - What a surprise!

Hey, now.

Well, well...

Okay, enough already!

Happy birthday, hitomi!

Oh, thanks!

- Happy birthday, hitomi. - Thank you.

There are good things in store tonight for you, too!

Look over there.

What?

Briareos!

So you're okay now?

Not quite... there must be something wrong with my eye scope.

I'm seeing stuff I've never seen before.

Stop it.

We're also celebrating briareos' full recovery tonight.

I had no idea...

Happy birthday to you, vice-=minister hitomi.

Oh, how lovely!

Thank you very much!

Oh, that's right. You haven't met him yet, have you?

This is tereus.

We meet at last...

Nice to meet you.

Is this supposed to be a costume party?

There's a guy wearing a mask of my old face.

I'm not wearing it by choice.

So you've got my attitude, too!

Then we're back in business, right?

Well, about that, deunan...

I want you to stay with tereus a little longer.

I decided to team up with aeacus for a while.

What do you mean?

I saw you guys' combat data. Not bad.

Are you serious? I'm against this!

When I get destroyed for real, who will you partner with then?

I won't partner with anyone!

Deunan!

Briareos was worried about you.

Whatever! After deciding everything on his own...

- Gimme another one! - Make that a coffee.

An Espresso! With a liqueur.

I know you don't like me, but I'm glad you're my partner.

Stick with me a little longer.

Is something wrong?

Briareos told you my coffee habits?

Nope.

Go home.

Let me take you home.

Leave me alone.

I get confused when we're together.

All right.

Hechatonchires were giants with a hundred arms, right?

Yeah, the word's from Greek mythology...

The name of a system that controls countless external terminals.

And you're the only human who could adopt a hechatonchires class body!

That's how much risk I take.

Sucks, doesn't it? Both of us bein' cyborgs and all...

No joke.

So, whatcha gonna do, pretty boy?

I'm talkin' about deunan!

There just aren't that many girls who'll stay with you,

even after you've ended up in a machine body!

I know. That's why it's hard.

Man, your love is twisted!

And you? You got a girl?

Huh?

How about that earring, huh?

You mean this? It's a "connexus.”

Got it from my daughter. She's got a matching one.

Still got love from the family even though you're a cyborg, huh?

Don't be jealous!

Who's jealous?

Hey, that hurt!

The vehicles carrying the world leaders are now arriving

in front of tartaros international conference center.

All cyborgs have departed the premises.

We'll continue with the security check.

Deunan, it's about to start.

Right...

What's wrong?

I'm sorry about the other day.

Don't sweat it! I'm your partner.

I've got your back anytime.

Well, that's reassuring!

What, didn't you know?

Under very tight security, the conference that will forge our world's future

is just about to get underway.

I would now like to open the security conference.

Prime minister Athena is in. It looks like the conference has started.

Okay. All stations, stay sharp.

They said it's started.

All right. I hope nothing happens...

Even if something does happen, it'll be fine because we're here!

Es.w. At. Is the shit, man!

By unifying all countries' satellites

we will be able to reconstruct the communications network

destroyed during the war.

This will quell conflicts and terrorist attacks before they happen.

It is the sharing of information that we now seek.

That was an overview of the global security network that Olympus proposes.

I would like you all to put your countries' satellites

under the temporary control of Olympus.

The recent act of terrorism that occurred in our country

was handled in a very expeditious manner by the Olympus esw. At.

In order to establish a network of cooperative relationships like this,

the significance of this proposal...

Well, we have the means to protect our country from terrorists

without having to rely on support from Olympus.

Sounds like you have certain things you don't want them seeing.

Anything you would like to express further?

We've obtained information

that your country has been supporting several conflicts...

Ridiculous! That is an unfounded accusation!

Anyway, why should humanity be put under the control of Olympus,

which is governed by bioroids?

Silence! This discussion isn't about race!

Conferences like these are absolutely pointless!

It's faint, but we've detected abnormal radio waves.

Abnormal radio waves?!

The source is... scattered around!

All units, be on alert!

Landmate unit, prepare to move out. Condition 3!

Let's go, aeacus.

Sorry, but you go on ahead. I'll be right behind you.

Are you all right?

It's nothing.

All right. You can go.

Next!

Hey!

Stop!

Stop! I said stop!

Stop!

They're not going to! It's gonna plow right into us!

I don't care, just shoot!

Explosions confirmed at gate e-12!

Personnel at gate e-12, report!

Aeacus, I'm heading out.

This is tartaros front gate a-2!

Runaway vehicles are heading into the perimeter!

Gate f, reporting the same situation!

At any rate, do not let a single vehicle inside!

Send more landmates!

Deunan and tereus, back up the police in the area.

Keep the terrorists away from the conference center!

Roger!

The areas around the conference center are under attack by runaway vehicles.

We'll have to suspend the proceedings for now and take cover.

There's no need for that. We'll continue on course.

That's a landmate! Fire!

Even a construction landmate?!

It's not a cyborg...

It's an... ordinary human!

Are you okay, deunan?

Yeah.

What the hell is with them? They're not just cyborgs either!

There are human rioters, too!

Please hurry.

It looks like riots have occurred in more than four locations.

Aeacus?

All will... be... one...

I am... halcon.

Aeacus?

What was that?!

It blew up!

Is it terrorists?

Stop the meeting!

- Where's the security?! - Let us evacuate! This is dangerous!

Quiet, please!

Fear not. I guarantee the safety of everyone in this conference center.

Gentlemen, please return to your seats.

Let us resume the discussion.

Aeacus! What's wrong? Answer me!

Aeacus!

Stop!

- It's coming down! - Look out!

Help us!

How can we conduct a meeting in these kinds of conditions?!

Take a good look! This is the world we live in!

I demand your decision!

Or do you want more casualties?

Stop it, aeacus!

Briareqs!

All will be one. Understand?

Stop it!

Damn!

Stop it!

Stop it, aeacus!

Briareos!

Aeacus!

Aeacus... why?

Bri... areos...

I.

Briareos!

This thing's a robot!

The abnormal radio waves are coming from the doves?!

They seem to have the terrorists around the conference center under control.

Huh? It vanished!

Huh? Hey!

What the heck just happened?

The riots have been suppressed. There are many casualties.

All abnormal radio waves have terminated!

The conference has resumed.

The lord called brother aeacus home.

Let us pray for aeacus' soul.

Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust...

May the lord lead him unto heaven and Grant him eternal rest.

Do you think I'm sane?

That moment, I felt like aeacus' melting face was coming towards me.

Maybe I've already lost it.

You're overthinking this.

Everyone recognizes that you did what was right.

Salute!

What's bothering you?

The hechatonchires system and your own flesh are so perfectly balanced,

you're like a work of art.

If we can't believe in that, then no cyborg is safe.

I know what happened to aeacus came as a shock to you,

but something like that will never happen to you.

I see. Thank you.

Briareos.

Do vou like this city?

Is Olympus a utopia that's worth protecting?

I don't know.

But if there's something that needs to be protected, then I will protect.

Sacrifice and love, huh?

That always makes humans feel anguish and struggle.

Don't you think so?

No, I don't.

Excuse me.

Good answer.

Although the security conference in Olympus was struck by a terrorist attack,

the discussion ended successfully.

The world powers moved closer towards unifying their satellite systems.

It was a testament to Athena's strong leadership qualities, as well as...

The result of our debate at the Olympus parliament

is that we will resume normal trade with Poseidon,

excepting certain cyborg parts.

Thank you for your consideration.

I'll let headquarters know right away.

We have received the report on the investigation into the attack

on the international conference center.

There's something I'm concerned about.

What is it?

One of the offenders allegedly mumbled: "I am halcon."

That's impossible!

Halcon is just a ghost from the past.

What could they possibly do now?

Checking ID.

Thank you.

Can I have a match?

Why don't you ask deunan?

I want one with you.

Oh...

Not bad.

Good kick.

Are you happy now?

Guess he really can't beat briareos.

Hey, the bioroid isn't bad either.

We have discovered that the abnormal radio waves

detected during the incident the other day

were being transmitted through robot doves.

We believe they are responsible

for sending the virus program to the cyborgs and setting off the riots.

However, the fact remains that non-cybernetic humans

were also involved.

The reason for this is still under investigation.

We are now certain that this was the work of cyber terrorists.

We're still investigating

whether officer aeacus was collaborating with the terrorists.

At the same time, we can't ignore the possibility

that es.W. A .t.'S virus protection may have been breached.

Until those issues are resolved,

es.w. A.T. Will suspend the participation of cyborg troops in our operations.

Wait a minute! Are you just letting the humans go free?

Why treat us like criminals?!

As long as the enemy's objectives remain unclear, we have no choice!

That is all. Dismissed!

Yoshitsune!

Will you test this for me?

Some sort of bio-chip?

Does this have anything to do with the incident?

I don't know, but something about it has been bugging me.

Okay. I'll look into it.

Thanks!

Tereus!

Let's go get a few drinks!

I'll pass.

A backup follows his point man!

You heard her.

Centralized management of every country's satellites

along with the proposed system of information sharing

could mean a first step fowards fulfilling the wishes

of those who long for peace in this post-war world.

With this as an important step,

Olympus will undoubtedly seek to establish...

Hey, where should we go?

Pub or sports har?

Sports bar.

No, pub.

Here it is now... the announcement by prime minister Athena.

As of now, Olympus controls 482 global satellites

belonging fo 32 nations worldwide.

It's the olive tree, a symbol of peace and prosperity in Greek mythology.

I am sure people's desire for peace will unite this world,

It's like some kind of carnival.

Pretty cool.

Briareos!

There's no driver.

That's an information terminal!

Briareos!

Stop it, bri!

What's gotten into you?! What are you doing?

Watch out!

S-stop it!

Tereus?

What's happened to you?

Briareos!

Stop it! Stop, briareos! Hey!

Error detected in satellite monitoring system!

The electrical supply system is malfunctioning, too!

We've been hacked into from outside. Code yellow!

Switch it over to the sub-system, just to be safe.

Understood. Switching to the sub-system!

The abnormal radio waves haven't been detected in that area...

So that probably wasn't the cause.

They're going to conduct a drug test and a psychiatric examination on him.

Where is he now?

In the isolation ward here.

Did you go to see him?

He didn't want to see me.

Oh...

I'll do it.

Okay, I'll let you handle it.

Turn around.

This birthmark...

It's just like briareos'.

What's gotten into him? Briareos...

The debris chip deunan brought turned out to be part of a connexus.

This is a Guinea pig with a connexus attached to it.

If I transmit the same signal

obtained from a microchip taken from one of the robot doves...

Its mind was taken over!

It seems that the connexus emits a certain frequency

that can affect organic nerve tissue at an extremely close range.

This can be used to manipulate humans and cyborgs alike.

That explains why humans were also involved in the riots, correct?

Yes, sir.

So aeacus was innocent!

He really was just another victim.

So rethinking this, what the culprit wants isn't simply cyborg terrorists,

but something much bigger...

So the attack on the international conference center was just a test?!

Please ban the use of the connexus right away!

All right.

So I really did... attack deunan?

What's gotten into me?

Deunan was very worried about you.

She wants to see you.

Not now.

Is there anything I can do?

Richard kestner...

He has belonged to the Olympus science academy since 2135.

It looks like he was with Poseidon before that.

Poseidon?

I want more information.

I'll try accessing gaia's host computer.

Director of technology, Elizabeth Xander...

Halcon laboratory?

Halcon?

Let me check.

It's been erased?

Is this kestner's handiwork?

Kestner could never erase

all of that data from the worldwide network on his own.

Something bigger is involved.

Poseidon, then.

Hitomi, cover your ears.

No, briareos!

I'll visit him and make sure!

Please don't do it! If you do that you'll be...

This way!

What do you think you're doing?

Your wound hasn't healed yet.

I have to go after him! I have to go after briareos!

Go back to your room!

I have to stop his rampage!

We're going to run through them!

Attention, citizens:

The connexus is now considered fo be a harmful product

attention, citizens...

What's going on?

What am I supposed to do then?

- I need mine! - If you are a connexus user,

please turn the device in at your nearest government agency.

We'll probably end up retrieving less than 10% of them.

Prepare to take enforcement measures as early as tomorrow.

Yes, ma'am.

Administrator Nike!

What is it?

An es.W. At. Cyborg has taken vice-minister hitomi hostage and escaped!

I'm sure everyone is very well aware of briareos' power.

Do not let your guard down!

All right, move out!

Deunan knute!

Withdraw from this assignment.

Why?

That's an order. You understand, right?

Remain here on stand-by.

Got it?

Pull your vehicle over immediately.

Give up this pointless chase!

What should we do?

So we can't go any further...

I repeat: Stop your vehicle immediately!

I'm sorry to have gotten you mixed up in this!

Do you have a gun?

I don't need one.

We've taken protective custody of the hostage.

Briareos' whereabouts are still unknown.

Where is briareos?

How would I know?

Why are you asking me?

If you won't tell me, then I'll just ask myself what I'd do.

Briareos took harbor highway 4 and got off somewhere around cygnus street.

We are checking vehicles within a one=kilometer radius of the area.

All members work fogether fo conduct a thorough search.

This is a pretty bleak room.

You live here all alone?

No.

I am not alone.

What have you done to my body?

Your body can't be controlled by radio waves from the outside.

Your little incident the other day gave me the perfect opportunity.

I added something to that troublesome hechatonchires body at no extra charge.

Nano machines.

Nano machines?!

They feed off of you.

I programmed them to activate when your adrenaline goes beyond a certain point.

The hacking incident you caused was all part of the plan.

You see, it was too difficult to infiltrate the main control room

of the satellite control center.

So I performed a little trick on their backup system.

All that was needed then was to crash the main system.

And you did that wonderfully.

What the hell do you want?

Do you know why this world will never be without bloodshed?

Because of individual differences!

Different bodies, different hearts... It's the essence of all conflict.

So we must become a single, united consciousness.

A single consciousness?

So you provoked those terrorist attacks?!

I have comrades around the world!

Put my body back to normal!

Too late for that.

Itis time...

System error, we are unable to control the satellites!

We've lost all satellites links!

What the heck is going on?!

We're having problems with the backup system!

What?!

What are you trying to start?

Integration and natural selection.

What cannot be integrated will disappear.

Thanks to the connexus and the satellite network,

humanity will share one consciousness.

A world without misunderstanding or discrimination will be created.

There won't be conflict or war.

Halcon's ideals will finally be reality!

Halcon?

The global security network is down!

We can't control any satellites!

The global security network is down!

They waited for us to unite the satellites before stealing them...

Even the terrorist attack on the international conference

had been so thoroughly premeditated...

What if they transmitted that signal to the connexus, using all the satellites?

Issue an emergency alert worldwide!

Yes, ma'am.

Soon you, too, will understand it.

A body is just a vessel!

We're going to free our souls!

Wait! Don't do it!

I found him! He's right here!

Don't move!

You're briareos, aren't you?

We've found the escaped es.W. A .t. Trooper, briareos!

One man shot and down. Send an ambulance!

Don't move!

Wait!

Did he jump?

He fell!

Down there! Chase him!

The culprit jumped from the window!

We'll continue our pursuit!

Briareos is still on the run.

Find him quick and capture him!

He's in a dangerous state.

If he resists... shoot fo kill!

I repeat: Briareos is probably moving towards south on cygnus street

I'll protect you, even if the world comes to an end.

Yoshitsune!

Looks like nothing can stop you.

Give this to briareos.

What are these?

Parasite counters.

They were developed during the war as a countermeasure

against cyber-terrorism caused by cyborgs.

It's a kind of shock treatment. It will help him regain consciousness.

If briareos starts losing it again,

shoot this into his nervous system from the back of his neck.

So this can save him?

It's only an emergency measure, but still better than nothing.

Thank you, yoshitsune.

Briareos!

I knew you'd come here.

So you know exactly what I'm thinking, do you?

Just turn yourself in!

Don't get any closer!

I'm at my limit!

Briareos!

Who... are you?

Why is there another me?!

Why've you got what I've lost?!

All will be... one...

Stop calling out to me!

Deunan!

Briareqs!

Tereus, hold bri down!

Briareos!

It's no use, deunan! Briareos has...

Don't give me that!

I swear I'll...

Bring you back!

Briareos!

Briareos.

Briareos.

Deunan.

You recognize me, right? Bri...

Thank goodness.

Sorry. I'm taking him into custody.

Tereus?

It's too late.

What's going on?

Riots are breaking out throughout Olympus! We're currently verifying their scope!

We have lost communication with the other countries!

Unable to assess the situation!

Powerful abnormal radio waves confirmed!

They are being emitted from every country's satellites!

Is this happening all over the world?

This is... war!

Es.w. A.T. Will work with the police to suppress the riots!

They are not terrorists! They're just civilians who are being controlled!

Try not to hurt them, but if worse comes to worst...

Bringing the riots under control is our top priority! Understood?

Stay back... stay the hell back!

Shit! How did this happen?!

Control the civilians through their connexus network to take over the world?!

That's what the enemy is after?

Crap!

This way!

We can't go this way either.

There's no end to them!

We must destroy the source!

"Halcon"...

That's what kestner called it.

Poseidon is behind this!

They're hiding something.

The ship carrying Poseidon's special representative

should be at sea nearby!

Let's go, briareos!

Tereus, come in!

Riots are breaking out all over.

Is briareos in custody yet?

Report your status!

This is tereus.

Briareos was...

Shot to death.

Repeat: Briareos was shot to death.

There is no need for backup.

Thanks to the two of you, I just told my first lie.

I'm coming, too.

I'm deunan's partner, after all.

Tereus...

I brought them with me, deunan!

The estimated size of the riots is in the hundreds of thousands.

They are all moving towards tartaros!

Hold your positions! Avoid using deadly force if at all possible!

That's it!

This is urgent business. Let's skip the formalities.

I know.

There are just two things we want to know about.

What is halcon? Where is it?

Halcon used to be one of Poseidon's research departments.

With professor Elizabeth Xander as the head of research,

they developed and programmed rehabilitation devices

for individuals who had been handicapped in the war.

Using artificial intelligence and cyborg technologies,

they saved a great people.

They were like gods...

Their self-confidence led them to develop a distorted perception of peace.

The connexus is another of halcon's inventions, right?

Most likely...

The method they use is just plain mind-control.

We shut down halcon immediately and dispersed its staff.

Shortly after that...

Professor Xander died in an accident.

You did it all, didn't you?

The only thing you care about is protecting your own business.

Here's the result of your arrogance!

Where is it? Where is halcon?

This is halcon's maritime zero-gravity plant.

The facility was sold off a while back.

It should've been converted

into a large-scale unmanned industrial plant by now.

It's not that far from here.

We're going to halcon!

Before it takes us over...

I'll crush it myself!

We have to recover our world!

We will supply you with the latest equipment and a task force.

Consider it a good faith gesture.

Arges will handle the rest.

We're coming, too. We're taking off right away.

A human, a bioroid, a cyborg...

Those three are Olympus' hope...

So what do you think about Poseidon's latest model?

It's prototype, but I'll put it through its paces.

If we can stop the signal coming from halcon, will you recover?

Pray that I do.

Our target will be in view ahead momentarily.

All landmates, prepare to take off!

This is... halcon.

It's bigger than I imagined.

Halcon's nerve center should be located in the center of this.

We'll escort three of Olympus' craft to the central section of halcon.

We don't know what awaits us,

but we'll end halcon's terrorism by any means necessary! Got it?

Fortunately, the marine city below is no longer manned.

No need to worry about innocent bystanders.

It started moving!

Watch out!

Dive into the rightward gutter!

Wh-what the?!

Here comes another one!

We should reach the central area after we clear this corridor.

This place is...

So that's the center of halcon?

Look! A swarm of those drones!

They're coming!

Return fire while maneuvering!

If you stop, they'll get you!

Briareos!

What the...

Briareos!

Stay back!

Briareos...

Snap out of it!

Deunan!

Are you two all right?

I'm all right... sorry.

There's a second wave of them coming! Everyone - - close formation!

We'll concentrate our remaining strength on reaching the center!

Tereus...

I only have one dose left.

But my nerves can't handle another dose.

If I go nuts again, it's over.

If that happens, don't hold back, just shoot me. All right?

Why me?

I'm counting on you.

Briareos...

Incoming!

Maintain formation!

We'll cut straight through them!

That's...

What have we got now?!

What the...

Damn! It's fast!

My bullets aren't even scratching it!

Deunan! Are you all right?!

Yeah!

Where's the other one?

Over there?

Bri, tereus, we can do this!

We'll distract the drones!

You take care of that one!

Got it!

Go, deunan! Leave these to us!

Make sure you keep 'em on you!

You do the same!

Out of bullets.

Where is it?

I'm not done yet!

Go!

These guys are amazing...

The central gate is... closing!

I'll secure the gate.

Tereus, you take care of deunan!

I'm one step ahead of you!

Hurry!

Deunan!

Tereus!

Let's go.

Tereus, hurry!

We're going to eject and jump through the door!

Roger!

Stay away! Stay away!

Stay the hell away!

What cannot be integrated will disappear.

No...

Stop!

Are you all right?

Daddy.

Daddy, get up!

Daddy! Daddy!

Section e police commander, come in!

The surveillance cameras have been destroyed.

We can't contact section s either!

We have lost monitoring capabilities throughout Olympus!

This is Lance. All es.W. A .t. Troops, report your status!

Come in! Come in!

What the heck's happening to Olympus?!

Is that... Xander?

Kestner and his associates must have revived her.

Briareos!

Deunan!

Go ahead and shoot.

Kill me, and you also lose all who have merged with halcon.

Including the hechatonchires, of course!

How can we... stop halcon?

Give up...

And become one with halcon yourselves!

Deunan!

Briareos!

Answer me!

Briareos!

Not like this...

Briareos!

There must be some shred of humanity left in Xander...

Deunan!

Help... me...

People's hearts...

Aren't something you can just take away and unify!

Deunan!

Use this on Xander!

Go, deunan!

You want to die that badly?

Tereus!

Xander, you and me... we're both artificially produced people...

But...

Our hearts aren't anyone else's! Your heart is your own!

Reclaim your true self, Xander!

Deunan...

I reset all of halcon's signals...

Xander!

You're the real Xander, aren't you?

Destroy me while you still can, and completely stop halcon's systems.

Before the machine takes control of me again...

Hurry!

Shoot her, deunan!

Xander...

Now... I can die as a human being...

Thank you...

I'm sorry...

This is section j-4.

The rioters who were heading towards tartaros have started collapsing!

They have stopped moving!

The abnormal radio waves have ceased!

We've regained control of the satellite network, too!

The rioters appear to have collapsed.

What's going on?

Have we been saved?

Are you okay, briareos?

I'm all right, deunan.

You're really all better now, right?

Well, looks like I wasn't able to become one with it, huh?

Tereus!

Hang in there!

Let's hurry!

Where are arges and the others?

It's going to crumble!

Tereus!

It's okay. Just leave me here.

Don't be ridiculous! We're comrades!

I'm a bioroid. They can make any number of me...

That's not true!

There's no other tereus!

You are one of a kind!

You know that, don't you?

Arges!

Hurry! We're out of time!

Come on, tereus!

We can't hold back any longer!

Let's go!

We're out of here!

What happened?

Where are we?

Why are we here?

We must do everything over again.

But we are all still alive.

We won't give up. We will look forward and forge ahead.

There's still hope!

Thank you, deunan.

I'll protect you, even if the world comes to an end.

That's my line.

So you still remembered.

Yeah.

Are you okay with that?

Yeah, it's all right.

I'll find someone to protect, too.

All right, let's take our guests back to Olympus!
