When was it that we looked up into that wide, blue sky?

It was some far-off summer day,

and we were completely unaware.

The next thing we knew, our world was not the gentle cradle of civilization,

but a wasteland plagued by conflict,

controlled by the new evil that had bared its fangs.

But I still believe...

...a light will pierce this darkness, driving it away,

and we will once again share laughter under the blue sky.

The one who will bring about that light is...

What is it you seek?

Why do you wander?

Why were you born?

And why do you live?

Believe that it is to protect something

With the strange powers that you have inherited

In the darkness

I search for something I have lost

In the flow of time

I await the light that will soon come

I dream that we might one day

Meet again

"Saitama Prefectural Police"

This is quite a downpour, isn't it?

Yeah...

An accident?

For crying out loud, why now, in this weather?

What's the trouble, Sir?

Are you all right?

Something is strange.

Hey! Contact headquarters.

Have them send the fire department and an ambulance.

Yes, Sir!

Excuse me, what's the matter? Are you feeling ill?

What have you got in the bag there?

Will you show me what's inside?

Forget it!

This is...

Show me now!

What is this?

Yes, it looks like he was in a collision and came to a stop.

But the driver is behaving suspiciously. The vehicle's license plate is...

No, stay back!

Don't move!

You're...

Good morning.

Oh, yeah...

"Mysterious Car Accident on Mt. Narisawa?"

a police patrol car was involved in an accident with another automobile,

but there are still many questions as to what actually occurred.

The incident is currently under investigation.

In other news, the year's first shipment of cherries is going out to stores. Let's take a look.

Nakata Farms has remained unaffected

by the typhoons and other inclement weather we've been having.

--Hey! Can I have that a second? --In fact, the yield of cherries is 30% greater than in recent years,

--This? --which could make it easier for us

--Yeah... --to get a taste of this delicious fruit.

"And now, the weather"

Aednoswiomhtheevebthér fore

And now for the weather forecast.

And mowcfor the weather fore

Okay! Well, time to go.

"2nd Year, Class 2"

The thing is, it looked like they were killed by a gorilla or something!

Huh...

Mount Narisawa is pretty close, so let's go check it out.

Whoa, that's a good idea!

Oh, Fukamachi, you're comin' too, right?

Ah! I knew it!

What are you doing? The student council meeting is about to start!

Oh, shoot! I completely forgot...

For goodness' sake!

I can't get over that guy. He's always doing somethin' with Segawa.

Yeah, but Segawa's really after Makishima, the Student Council President.

Then Sho doesn't stand a chance!

"Meeting Room" Then Sho doesn't stand a chance!

Sorry we're late!

No problem, have a seat.

Let's begin, shall we?

Why don't we start with the treasury report?

Very well! I will now present our budget outlook for the new school year.

The escaped test subject was found in this area last night.

I will say again:

Your primary objective is to recover the units at all costs.

Regarding the Ping Pong Club's request for a budget increase,

though we rejected their request at yesterday's meeting,

the club has put in another application.

Well, at this rate, it could cause problems with club activities...

No!

Let's save that for our next meeting.

Is there anything else on the agenda?

If not, I would like to adjourn the meeting.

All right? That will be all.

Hey, Mizuki. You got any plans for today?

Huh? Well...

Wanna come shopping with me?

Sure!

Just a little farther!

If I can get this to the meeting place,

I can have my old body back!

Use any means necessary

to retrieve the units and eliminate the test subject!

Yeah...

Okay, I know.

Huh? Shopping? Well, don't stay out too late.

What?

You want me to make up some excuse to tell Mom?

That's asking too much!

--Hey! --Yo!

Who ya talking to?

To Mizuki.

Ah, your little sister, huh?

--What? --The report.

If you don't submit that report, it will get cut.

Our budget, that is.

I know that!

Oh, Sho!

Okay, I'm counting on yal!

Sho, can you hang with me for a bit?

Sure.

They're here.

I'm not gettin' caught, not after I've made it this far!

And I've got this as a last resort.

I'm coming home.

I'm getting my old body back and then coming home to you both.

Damn!

Stand back.

Another report for the Sci-Fi Club?

Yeah, I couldn't think of what to write, but I shouldn't have just let it go.

She was putting the pressure on you earlier, huh?

Well, this is what always happens.

Would you help me out, Sho?

No problem.

After all, free time is all I've got these days.

Sho, isn't there anything you want to do?

What I want to do...

Did you really think a guinea pig like you

could defeat me, the perfected form?

Damn it!

What was that?

Yes, we believe the test subject was carrying a concealed bomb.

Gregole's injuries aren't significant,

but he will need some time to regenerate.

Where are the units?

The explosion sent them flying off somewhere.

Fools! Go find them at once!

Sir!

I found one.

It has sustained minor damage, but it appears to be all right.

Show me.

Listen up! There are three units. You must retrieve them all!

What do you think it is?

I have no ideal!

But maybe... Well...

...it couldn't be a UFO, right?

It's too small.

Watch out, Tetsuro!

I mean, it's glowing, isn't it?

It might be behind that explosion just now too.

It's all right. It doesn't look like a bomb, and it's not even scratched.

It just got thrown over here, that's all.

It's lighter than you'd think.

It can't be a mecha, right?

That's enough. Whoever owns this is sure to come looking for it.

Well, that doesn't mean we can't have a look at it first!

Tetsuro!

Let's just leave it here!

I've got a bad feeling about this.

Hey, c'mon!

It felt like I pushed a switch or something.

Huh?

Sho? What's wrong?!

This thing's alive!

I can't breathe...

It's like something's soaking into every pore of my body.

Sho...

Hey!

Help me, Tetsuro.

Help me!

Sho!

What are you doing here, boy?

Who are you all?!

He's seen you, Gregole.

Then we have no choice but to eliminate him.

Huh? Huh?!

I'm gonna die!

Where did he come from?!

Who are you?

Amusing...

I don't know who you are, but if you're getting in our way,

it's time for you to disappear!

Fool! You think you can overpower me?!

It... It can't be!

How could a scrawny thing like that break Gregole's arms?

Damn you...

Retreat! Get out of here!

Tetsuro?

Sho... Is that you?

Yes...

Did I do this?

It's decaying right before our eyes.

But more importantly, Sho, that body...

Body?

This hand! What happened to me?!

What's going on?

Why did I turn into this?

Sho...

No!

Sho!

What the heck was that?

When the person who was always there went away

I was assaulted by nothing but noise

Never again being able to call out a name you've grown used to saying

is a lonely thing, isn't it?

I will swim there without relying on a boat with no oars

Cotton candy

Sadness can be healed while you whistle

Cotton candy

Don't hide your tears from others

Even if it's too bright or too dark

Fix your gaze and look closely

To find a light in the dark

In the light to find the invisible thing

The strange being sank beneath the water,

but that was little more than a ruse.

An organization moves into action to recover the second and third units.

A giant building looms over the bay

and a dark world that exists behind the facade of everyday life.

Fangs emerge from the darkness, approaching Sho.

Next time: "The Secret Society of Chronos."

The units' true form will be made clear.
