"It's been a while since we last hung out like this." "Has it?" "It has." "Kazu-kun..." "Have you heard the rumors about people from the city heading this way?" "Hm?" "Yeah..." "I'm a little scared... have we done anything wrong?" "right?" "So we don't have anything to worry about." "Right?" "Yeah!" "I guess you're right." "It's Mimi!" "Mimi?" "I just named him!" "Kazu-kun!" "it's a small enough price to pay..." "It's HOLY!" "What do they want here?" "are they?" "too?" "You've got to be kidding!" "We don't want HOLY here!" "you jerks!" "I'm sorry!" "I'm so sorry!" "I'm so sorry!" "Found you!" "You...!" "Why hide? you run around? ...then act like this boy here!" "Your actions are neither brave nor just." "I'm sorry!" "I give up!" "See?" "Apologies mean nothing." "Crimes must be atoned for." "how's your right arm feeling?" "Don't worry about it." "It's HOLYthat we need to talk about." "It's hopeless." "The stories are mixed up so bad that you can't tell what's the truth." "Then tell me the third one that comes to mind." "Huh?" "At times like this you should just pick one at random!" "now?" "And who taught you that?" "I did." "Huh?" "!" "that sounds like your style!" "All right!" "Then let's go to the scene and see what's what!" "Kazu-kun!" "he said he'd help out today!" "he ran away same as always?" "Yes..." "That husband of yours is useless." "H-He's not my husband!" "don't be so shy." "That's right." "It's because you're here that we can work hard." "Right." "HOLYwas here?" "What the hell's going on?" "damn it!" "I don't feel like giving answers to somebody as rude as you." "Stop kidding around!" "Don't you understand the situation?" "HOLY is gonna..." "They won't come." "Not here." "What?" "!" "Kazuma." "you know." "you old fart?" "the toy man is here!" "Huh?" "What was that?" "Wanna go check it out?" "They said there's toys!" "H-Hey!" "You can't just barge in here!" "Damn punks!" "there's no need to push." "There's plenty to go around." "And I'm not going anywhere." "Wow!" "That uniform..." "He's a HOLY!" "That's right." "But everyone is happy to see him." "We've been getting a lot of assistance from them." "That's why we don't want your kind here." "all right?" "get out?" "He's with HOLY!" "and you don't care if they run loose here?" "Kazuma!" "Wha...?" "!" "I've been waiting for you." "What the hell?" "!" "You want a piece of me?" "!" "my." "Are you going to hit me?" "You'll hit someone who hasn't done anything to you?" "In front of these innocent children?" "but I don't care for fighting." "Huh?" "!" "What are you talking about?" "kids." "I need to have a chat with these gentlemen here." "Let's meet again right here afterwards." "Really?" "Promise?" "of course." "I swear on my pride and my pinch." "You can't reach Emergy?" "What's going on?" "I don't know the cause." "I don't think it's a system failure..." "I can't believe Emergy is acting on his own..." "Do you think it has something to do with that weird feeling earlier?" "we might not be able to join up with him later." "I know that." "We'll stand by for a while." "Don't be so impatient." "I'm sure you'll see that guy again really soon." "how wonderful." "This takes me back... you see." "This certainly brings back memories..." "Quit your yapping and bring out your Alter already!" "I'm not the least bit interested in fighting you." "Do you understand?" "There are all sorts of people in HOLY. ...do you wash your parts in exactly the same order as your friend back there?" "no." "So you're saying that you're not dragging Inners away by force?" "That's right." "I do admit that there are a great number of people like that in HOLY." "as well." "I feel terrible about it." "there are quite a few useless people like Kazuma here that are..." "Who are you calling useless?" "!" "ask questions later." "But that won't work on me." "What?" "!" "hear me out." "Think it through." "The Lost Ground is still an undeveloped area." "there are a lot of tough-talking trash like yourself who are only interested in pursuing their own pleasure and are totally unproductive... " "Who are you calling trash?" "!" "Your weak punches don't threaten me one bit." "what are you trying to say?" "perhaps we should get to the point." "would you be interested in joining HOLY again?" "Wha...?" "Commander Zigmarl is quite interested in you." "too." "Huh?" "Seriously?" "What are you looking so happy about?" "!" "Kanami could live..." "Shut up!" "The answer's no." "Because I don't like the way HOLY does business." "that annoying bastard is there." "And third..." "I wanna beat you senseless so bad I can taste it!" "Negotiations unsuccessful..." "Let's get to it!" "there's one little thing that I forgot to mention!" "I added a little surprise to the presents I gave to those kids earlier." "really." "then something inside the toys goes ka-boom!" "What?" "!" "I imagine they're showing off the toys to their families and friends right about... drat." "this is the real one!" "Kimishima!" "Go to the kids!" "I'm on it!" "You HOLY people are all the same!" "I have several more..." "Are you trying to piss me off?" "!" "Yes." "What are you up to?" "!" "I just wanted to make you angry at me." "please put me in a pinch!" "this tension is wonderful!" "This nonstop sensation of adrenalin rushing to my sympathetic nerves!" "I haven't felt this way since I met Commander Z-Zig..." "Elian." "It's amazing how he anticipated where that man would appear so precisely." "Emergy is taking quite a beating..." "Looks like I'll be able to see his Cliffhanger Super Pinch again after all this time." "Ms. Kiryu is asking to see you." "Fine." "Send her in." "sir." "What a magnificent attack." "You turned your anger into conviction." "Which means that I really ought to decide on a response... have I?" "My name is Emergy Maxfell." "I'm also known as "Cliffhanger Maxfell." "The man who comes out on top in any pinch." "Nobody's listening to you!" "Hurry up and bring out your Alter!" "the best offense is a good defense!" "as long as you are attacking me..." "I'm sick of your yapping!" "Are you saying you don't care about the kids?" "You bastard..." "You still had one?" "Yes!" "Surprised?" "I'll treasure that look on your face just now for the rest of my life!" "Wonderful!" "I'd be in heaven by now!" "heaven!" "Heaven is calling me!" "please!" "Put me in a mighty pinch!" "What's your problem?" "Stand up." "stand up!" "you're such an impatient boy..." "C-Cliff!" "The cliff...!" "No!" "I don't want to fall!" "I hate this place!" "Somebody..." "Somebody..." "It's too late for that!" "I'm in a pinch!" "This is dangerous!" "I'm in a real pinch!" "Save me!" "Whoa!" "my Super Pinch Crusher!" "What the hell is that?" "!" "you found out about it." "sir." "I will accept any punishment you feel is necessary." "what do you hope to gain?" "The truth." "I'd rather live a painful life knowing the truth than a peaceful life where I knew nothing." "I came to the realization that that is the reason why I came here." "Very well." "It's vital to be to be true to yourself in life." "that I personally have." "Mom is yelling at me." "Dad is mad at me." "saying that I'm an Alter user." "Stop!" "I haven't done anything!" "T-The cliff...!" "N-No!" "I don't want to fall!" "it's all over." "I haven't done anything..." "I don't want it to end like this..." "Someone!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "He came!" "He came to rescue me from my pinch!" "he'll come!" "My invincible hero!" "What kind of Alter is that?" "!" "It was an old toy I found 15 years ago..." "It was that toy that showed me the way to my invincible hero who rescues me from any pinch I'm in!" "go!" "Super Pinch Crusher!" "Powered Rifle!" "Shocking First Bullet!" "my ass!" "didn't you know?" "the stronger Super Pinch Crusher will become." "And it is that that makes him my hero alone!" "Then I'll just have to smash the whole damn thing this time." "Hey..." "He's picking a fight with HOLY." "All your effort will be for nothing!" "my great wings!" "Pinch Bird!" "Ultra Pinch Combination!" "Great Pinch Crusher!" "so?" "What do you think that's gonna be able to do?" "it is I who will put you in a pinch!" "Let's see you try!" "As you wish." "Danger Hazard!" "Annihilating Second..." "Hazard Rapid Fire!" "this wouldn't be happening." "It's a little late for that now!" "though." "That's my hero!" "Such great power!" "how are you going to overcome this pinch?" "How else?" "!" "With my fist!" "finish him!" "Last Chance Sword!" "I'm totally open." "would you like to try defeating me?" "What're you talking about?" "Beating that big piece of crap will be way more fun!" "What a shame." "I wanted to try this Pinch Guard." "then!" "Bastard!" "Exterminating Last Bullet!" "Table-turning Flash Cut!" "it's hopeless!" "Pinch!" "no matter when!" "You'll defeat any enemy for me!" "I'll be able to get permanent residency rights in the city because of this!" "And I owe it all to you!" "Thank you!" "Don't... make me laugh!" "You enjoy getting rescued so much?" "What's wrong with being rescued?" "People who rely on others for help never accomplish anything!" "Thank you for that wonderful speech." "But what do you hope to achieve in a pinch situation like this?" "do you?" "You're totally reliant on others!" "You're ruled by your past!" "You haven't earned a single thing for yourself!" "Let me show you!" "My..." "My determination!" "More!" "More!" "More!" "Shine brighter!" "That light...!" "W-What the hell is that?" "!" "Nobody told me anything about that!" "This is the power I won for myself!" "N-No!" "Help me!" "Great Pinch Crusher!" "This is my Shell Bullet!" "This is bad!" "Your pinch is over!" "Table-turning Flash Cut!" "T-This is Kazuma's..." "It can't be..." "My invincible hero..." "My hero!" "Someone!" "Someone!" "My hero!" "right?" "though..." "I can blow away even that Ryuho guy!" "What's wrong?" "!" "Again?" "!" "again"?" "Kazuma!" "What have you done?" "!" "I'm going to release this information to the public!" "There are some lines that humans must never cross!" "Lines?" "No!" "will you?" "I can no longer consent nor tolerate your naivete." "Did you know?" "It is the mainland that doesn't see Alter users as human beings." "I will therefore use any means necessary for me to be HOLY!" "Snatch it!" "Everything!" "With these hands!" "Even if I ended up hurting your heart." "The awoken power is running through my body." "Meaning of words will be altered." "Yesterday's truth will become today's lie." "Everyone will just wander and be washed away." "Dreams and love are just convenient illusions." "Step on the reality and endlessly reach out for tomorrow." "Reckless Fire!" "fearlessly set the soul on fire." "There's no place to run." "With the strength to swallow the lies and contradictions." "I won't ask for dwelling sympathy between us." "Until I grab something which can't be given away." "I want to throw away my self who's wearing the false mask." "The shining moon and the darkness cross in the spiral sky." "The tangled and uncertain relation." "Sometimes even bonds will tie your heart." "You can't move?" "Or you won't move?" "Turn your loneliness into strength!" "Drastic My Soul!" "Lead my heart the way it is." "Drastic My Self!" "Reach beyond the wish and to the new self..." "Drastic My Soul!" "I want to make sure the meaning to live right here this moment." "Drastic My Self!" "Thrust through the further and deeper darkness." "I believe in Drastic My Soul!" "{\cH80FF80\a6}Ubae!" "Subete!"
