"In response, Secretary-General Chang of South China, also known as the Democratic Federation of China, questioned if there was some connection to the terrorist acts committed by the unidentified AS..." "Listen up." "We have until 6:00 AM, which means we have 90 minutes left." ""Burning Hong Kong" We have until 6:00 AM, which means we have 90 minutes left." ""Burning Hong Kong" If we fail, that's it." "If we fail, that's it." "Hong Kong will become a sea of flames." "And I doubt it will stop there." "You kept her face pretty?" "Apparently you're soft on women." "Haven't you found Yu Fang yet?" "All of the preparations are complete." "Just watch." "Big Sis, this is Yu Lan!" "I'm surrounded by all these scary men!" "What are you doing?" "No!" "Let me go!" "Oh no, I've been caught!" "Help me, Big Sis!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "I'm gonna die!" "No more!" "Not there!" "This is a situation neither the North nor the South should want." "Not only that, there's absolutely no consistency to the Venom's destruction." "So it's most likely the work of someone operating independently." "But who in the world would make the North and South fight each other, and for what purpose?" "President Hunter, you have a guest." "She has been anxious to see you." "It seems urgent." "Turn her away." " Even you should understand what kind of crisis I'm facing right now." " Hey!" "Get out of my way!" "Hey you, you shouldn't be here!" "I'm telling you to let me see him!" "A Helmajistani?" "Nope, don't know anyone like that." "But a lot of Arabs live in that building over there." "So you're Kashim, huh?" "You reek of alcohol, you worthless brat." "Are you trying to ruin the reputation of "Bdakshon's Tiger"?" "As if I even care." "State your business." "A Chinese girl asked me to give this to you." "Take it and get lost." "Five possible sniping positions." "Sousuke Sagara, correct?" "Correct." "There is a taxi waiting at the north exit of the park." "Get in it." "Who asked you to do this?" "Does this have some connection to the incidents occurring here?" "State your name." "What would you do if I told you?" "Sousuke Sagara." "Go to the second floor of the building behind you." "He is waiting for you in the back room there." "Who is "he"?" "I suggest you try to remember what this place is called." "Kowloon?" "Yo!" "What has it been, three months?" "I'm so glad to see you, Kashim." "Ga-Gauron!" "You seem so completely shocked." "Is it really that strange that I'm still alive?" "Back then..." "You should've..." "Died, is that it?" "I sure hope you haven't forgotten, now." "My Codarl was equipped with a Lambda Driver, you know." "It can even protect the operator when the unit self-destructs." "Well, I still ended up like this anyway." "Hey, now." "Just look at the kind of condition I'm in." "I think it's pointless to be hasty." "What is it you're after?" "Come on, now." "I just wanted to chat with you." "Stop playing with me!" "But I'm serious." "As you can see, my time is running out." "So I had the Codarl go berserk through the city, to lure you and that white AS here." "And I scattered messages to you all over the city." "Majid was a tactician who once made a name for himself as a guerilla leader in Helmajistan." "His nickname was "Bdakshon's Tiger."" "And then there's the assassin he gave a name to:" "Kashim." "In other words, "The son of Bdakshon's Tiger" is you." "Hamidra is a former electrician and a comrade of yours." "I knew that if I sent out a message to "Meet Hamidra at Tsim Sha Tsui,"" "you'd track down a Helmajistani electrician." "It was a message that would get through to no one else in the world but you." "But I thought you would bring a bunch of your friends with you." "Why did you come by yourself?" "Did something happen?" "That's none of your business!" "So you've finally started to feel uncomfortable, huh?" "What?" "In Mithril, I mean." "Being in a military unit that has pretensions of being an ally of Justice is enough to frustrate anybody." "Especially a man like you." "Are you through with your speech?" "Then tell me about the organization behind you." "I'm amazed." "Your work is still that important to you?" "Fine then." "I'll tell you." "Amalgam." "That's the name of the organization I was working for." "Its goals are the research and development of the latest weapons, and the testing of them in actual combat." "They would even create regional conflicts to do so." "A large number of Amalgam sympathizers have permeated the hard-line factions of every nation." "There are a lot of guys in both the East and West who want to create a Cold War, and maintain a demand for munitions." "Is that organization involved in the turmoil here, too?" "No, this is my own handiwork." "I'll bet those Amalgam guys are going crazy trying to find us right about now." "Venom!" "Yu Fang?" "It is time for me to go." "I see." "Take care." "Farewell, Sensei." "A long time ago, I raised a set of twins named Yu Fang and Yu Lan." "They were a lot like you." "Even now they're still as loyal as dogs." "The turmoil here happened because I ordered them to cause it." "But tonight, Yu Fang is probably going to die fighting Mithril." "And if they don't get her, she'll just get killed by Amalgam's Task Force." "Task Force?" "They're a terrifying bunch." "The commander of that task force is incredibly skilled, but one hell of a nutcase." "Your friends probably don't stand a chance against him." "The moment they run into him, they'll all be killed." "She's appeared!" "She's in Jordan!" "All right!" "Time to hunt the little kitty down!" "You said "Amalgam," right?" "Are there any Whispered in that organization?" "Yes." "He is becoming one of the key members." "If they have a Whispered, then why are they targeting Chidori?" "They shouldn't need her anymore, right?" "Because it's not complete." "Apparently there are differences in the knowledge that each individual Whispered has." "If there's someone who has extensive knowledge of the theory behind Lambda Driver technology, there's also someone who only has knowledge of submarine technology." "That's why every time a new Whispered is found, it's necessary to determine which field that one is strong in." "That's what those tests that we ran on that girl in the Khanka Autonomous Region were for." "And the results showed that Kaname Chidori is a Whispered." "That's all I've heard, though." "Where is Amalgam's base?" "!" "Who are their key figures?" "Gimme a break already." "I'm getting sick of this subject." "It's boring, and it's not even the main issue here." "Hey now, does it look like I care if I die?" "Tell me." "Please." ""Please," huh?" "Are you really the same Kashim I knew?" "What?" "Remember!" "What were you doing when I first met you five years ago?" "Back then, I was an instructor at a mercenary camp." "You were a guerilla fighting against the Soviets." "We weren't allies, but we weren't really enemies either." "I still remember it very well." "You had a really good look in your eyes back then." "Eyes that didn't either reject or affirm life." "Eyes without any worries, doubts, or suffering." "Yes, eyes like those of a saint." "Anyone would probably say they were beautiful." "Do you understand?" "In other words, there was consistency, no contradiction." "When we met again in Khanka, your eyes were still as beautiful as I remembered." "The eyes of someone who has no human weakness." "I thought it would've been pretty nice if I could've killed you the way you were then." "But that..." "What's with that face?" "Venom spotted!" "It's in the Jordan area." "Equip the ARX-7 with a rapid-deployment booster." "Supply it with a Boxer shot cannon, and put it on standby in the elevator." "Captain, the use of the Arbalest is supposed to be prohibited." "We can use it as a decoy." "I want to reduce the danger they are in as much as I can." "And besides, Sagara still hasn't..." "I am sorry to say this, Captain, but the only conclusion I can come to is that Sagara has abandoned his mission." "Relying on that AS and that man is an obvious mistake." "You cannot say that for certain." "This is not some school club activity!" "I am well aware of that!" "Are you going to lecture me now of all times?" "Ma'am, this time I simply refuse to stand by and watch!" "You are allowing your personal feelings to interfere, and are even trying to twist an order from the highest level!" "What will become of the organization and its regulations?" "Not only that, you are giving preferential treatment to an officer who has abandoned his duty." "This is outrageous!" "Very well." "Then tell me, who was it who forced a ridiculous amount of heavy responsibility upon that officer?" "Well, uh..." "It was us!" "If you think otherwise, then tell me!" "Six months ago at that airport, who was it who risked his own life in order to provide us with valuable information?" "Four months ago, who was it who faced an absurdly powerful enemy machine without any preparation and defeated it?" "Deep in the mountains of Helmajistan, who was it who recaptured a nuclear warhead that was being smuggled even while his comrades were being killed one by one?" "Three months ago, who was it who gave his all to protect this ship?" "Tell me, who was it?" "It was Sergeant Sagara." "Correct." "And yet you're still going to blame him?" "You're going to just brand him a coward?" "No." "If you really want me to, I'll admit it." "I love him." "But those personal feelings are irrelevant right now." "I am positive he will return and do his job." "He will not abandon us." "No matter how hopeless he may seem right now," "I am sure he will pull himself together again and come back to us." "You can't change a person's basic nature." "So he will come back, because he is strong and kind!" "Strong and kind?" "Captain, do you think that is enough to convince me?" "It's not about that, is it?" "What you doubt is my judgment." "Commander Richard Mardukas." "Do you believe in me?" "Or do you not?" "Are you going to believe in me, Teletha Testarossa, who has protected this ship to this day?" "Go on, make your decision." "You've grown strong, haven't you?" "Aye, ma'am!" "Equip the ARX-7 with a rapid deployment booster and Boxer shot cannon, and have it stand by in the elevator!" "Equip the ARX-7 with a rapid deployment booster and Boxer shot cannon, and have it stand by in the elevator." "Aye." "Thank you." "I want everyone to make it back safely!" "She says..." "The communication line just opened on its own." "Did someone let us hear that on purpose?" "Who knows." "But I never would've expected Tessa to argue so forcefully with the XO like that." "She wants everyone to make it back safely, huh?" "What do you think, guys?" "That's what I intend to do, of course." "We can't make our princess sad, now can we?" "To think she'd be so worried about us..." "I'm honestly moved!" "It's just like her." "She's a good officer." "We have until 0600 hours." "If you call yourselves pros, you'd better live up to that." "I don't make mistakes." "You don't make mistakes, either." "And that's going to get everything wrapped up nice and tight." "Got that?" " Roger!" " Roger!" " Roger!" "What a horrible look you've got on your face." "Are you worried?" "Or maybe torn?" "What happened to the "saint" I knew?" "I'm disappointed." "You're full of internal conflict now." "You're not even worth killing." "Shut up!" "You're the same as me." "So why are you trying to be a normal guy now?" "You make me want to puke." "I'm telling you to shut up!" "No, I'm telling you." "Ever since you met those guys at Mithril and at that school, you've become worthless." "You've gotten pulled in by those worthless scum and become a bore." "I just told you a little while ago that you were frustrated, right?" "That's their fault." "Their so- called "humanism."" "The assassin-saint Kashim I knew would never fit in there." "You're being suckered by them." "Listen." "The weak are parasites of the strong." "They dazzle you with words like "kind friend" and "trust,"" "and then they suck your strength until there's nothing left." "Tell me your true feelings." "Do you really enjoy being with a bunch of weaklings?" "Come on, answer me." "I'm asking you if you really enjoy being with a bunch of weaklings." "Well?" "I'm telling you to shut the hell up!" "So you don't even have the drive to kill me?" "I'm going to die soon." "And I plan on bringing others down with me." "I ordered Yu Fang to go berserk in Hong Kong until the whole city is a sea of flames." "And I ordered Yu Lan to get rid of the biggest cancer of all... the one that caused your downfall." "Cancer?" "The woman, Kashim." "Haven't you heard yet?" "I've heard every single word of it." "Her body was mangled, still wearing her cute school uniform." "I heard she was pretty tough though, and she didn't beg for her life." "Her last words were "I'm sorry."" "I wonder who they were meant for?" "It brings tears to my eyes!" "Y-You're lying!" "It's true!" "I wanted to show you a picture of her body so I could see the despair on your face, but I think I'm going to resist." "'Cause you know what, the damage is written all over your face, Kashim!" "My woman in Tokyo!" "I'm already too late!" "Aww, poor Kaname- chan!" "She was such a nice girl, too!" "Gauron!" "That's right, I killed her." "Now hate me." "Go on, hate me, Kashim!"
