[00:08] A
    What?!
[00:10] B
    What's all this dwama about?
[00:14] B
    Did you all forget why you're here?
[00:18] B
    A reunion between long-wost sibwings?
[00:22] B
    A revenge pwot decades in the making?
[00:25] B
    A hero protecting his pwincess?
[00:29] B
    You certainly don't look
    very heroic right now.
[00:32] Kon
    What in the blue hell?
[00:33] Kon
    I went through all that twouble
    to tell y'all where Jinkoku-sha was
[00:38] Kon
    but you wouldn't do anything,
    so I went and ahead and captured them myself.
[00:43] Kon
    See?
[00:46] A
    You...
[00:47] A
    Who the hell are you?
[00:50] B
    Who, me?
[00:52] B
    I'm Beta.
[00:54] A
    Beta...?
[00:57] B
    I told you we'd meet again.
[01:01] A
    Beta...
[01:03] A
    You're going down!
[01:10] Min
    What are you going to do with Jinkoku-sha?
[01:12] B
    I could kill them,
    but that wouldn't be any fun.
[01:17] A
    What the hell?!
[01:18] B
    Why don't you all come see me right now?
[01:24] B
    Remember the stadium built in this stage?
[01:27] B
    You'll find the thwee of them there.
[01:29] B
    If you're intewested,
    get there on the double.
[01:33] Ngu
    To the stadium, now!
[01:36] Chi
    Doctor! Try to find
    where that message came from!
[01:40] Ari
    Already on it.
[01:41] Ari
    But it's behind a billion proxies.
[01:44] Ari
    There's nothing useful
    in the police database,
[01:47] Ari
    and I can't access Iriya's from here!
[01:51] Chi
    Just who is Beta?
[01:55] A
    Keep going! It's that way!
SIGN    Tokyo Bay Megafloat - F Stage
[01:56] Min
    I know!
[02:00] Min
    Okay, we've reached the stadium.
[02:04] A
    It's huge.
[02:06] Kon
    You two are okay, eh?
[02:09] A
    Kondo!
[02:10] Min
    Are you okay? You look hurt!
[02:12] Kon
    Yeah. She saved me
    when it was squeaky bum time.
[02:17] Ygg
    My dear!
[02:18] A
    Wait, Yggdrasil?
[02:22] Ygg
    Indeed, it is I!
[02:23] Min
    How are you in the real world?
[02:25] A
    What's going on?
[02:27] Ygg
    I had Mama Kaori make me a body
    so I could help you.
[02:34] Ygg
    Also...
[02:35] Ygg
    Something needs to be done about Alma.
    I'll get her back on our side.
[02:40] A
    This way, Master.
[02:44] Min
    Alma... Soma.
[02:51] Ngu
    Ah, I see we're all here.
[02:55] Kon
    Damn it, Nguyen! Open your eyes!
[02:58] B
    Awesome! The gang's all here!
[03:00] B
    Yoo-hoo! I'm over here!
[03:05] A
    So that's Beta!
[03:07] Ygg
    No, that's a Bälz Inc. construction android.
    It must be remote-controlled.
[03:12] B
    Indeed. This is my avatar out in society.
[03:15] B
    I'm a very shy boy, you see.
[03:17] B
    Anyway, here's what y'all came for!
[03:21] Mid
    Guys...
[03:23] A
    We came here like you asked!
    Now release them!
[03:28] B
    But I never said I'd fwee them if you came.
[03:31] B
    By the way, do y'all hear that?
[03:35] B
    Finally, it's happening!
[03:39] Chi
    What is that?
    Switch to visuals outside the stadium.
[03:45] Ar
    No way...
[05:44] Min
    It stopped?
[05:48] Min
    Look!
[05:54] B
    I knew you would come! But I was kinda afwaid
    you wouldn't for a while there.
[06:00] Auc
    I'm the one running this auction.
    Not you, Beta.
[06:06] A
    Auctioneer.
[06:08] Kon
    That's him?
[06:09] Auc
    It took ten years, but I finally got you!
[06:16] B
    Ah, so it was you.
[06:18] A
    Hang on. You know who he is?
[06:21] A
    Tell me who Beta is, then!
[06:27] Auc
    I'm pretty sure you've met
    him yourself, Natsume Akira.
[06:33] Auc
    On that day, ten years ago,
    Beta here did it.
[06:39] Auc
    He was the one who used EX-ARM
    Number 11 to cause the Tokyo Attack!
[06:52] A
    So wait, that was Beta?!
[06:54] Ari
    What? You mean...
[06:57] Chi
    If what Auctioneer's saying is true,
    then Akira had nothing to do with it.
[07:04] Min
    I need to apologize to you, Akira.
[07:07] A
    It's fine, Minami.
[07:09] A
    Even I'd forgotten I was innocent.
[07:12] A
    But you guys trusted me
    and let me fight alongside you,
[07:17] A
    and that helped me realize it wasn't me.
[07:21] A
    And now,
[07:24] A
    it's clear as day.
[07:28] A
    You are our biggest enemy!
[07:32] B
    I'm so happy you remember me now.
    Glad to see you haven't changed.
[07:39] B
    You had the same look
    in your eyes back then, too.
[07:45] B
    But what that also means is
    that I'm still better than you.
[07:50] Auc
    Now, then.
[07:51] Auc
    With the final bidders all here,
    I would like to begin the EX-ARM auction.
[07:59] Ngu
    That's what I like to hear.
    How much do you want for them?
[08:04] Auc
    I don't care about money.
[08:06] Auc
    What I want is right there.
[08:09] Auc
    It's Beta's head.
[08:11] Auc
    Whoever captures him gets all my EX-ARMs.
[08:16] B
    Are you sure? I might just kill these people
    if you twy to act all bossy with me.
[08:21] AJ
    Don't you dare, Beta!
    Jinkoku-sha are ours to kill!
[08:25] B
    Okay, but then you know
    what you have to do, right?
[08:31] AJ
    Very well. We're taking
    Auctioneer down, Alma.
[08:34] A
    Understood, Master.
[08:38] Ngu
    I'm afraid I can't let that happen.
[08:41] Ngu
    I need those EX-ARMs.
[08:45] Ngu
    I won't be holding anything back.
[08:47] B
    Awesome! Now we're having some fun!
[08:50] A
    Hey! Don't forget you're dealing with me!
[08:53] B
    Wuv that energy.
[08:55] B
    But you do weawize I hold Jinkoku-sha's lives
    in the palm of my hand, wight?
[09:02] Gaho
    I will never take orders from you.
[09:07] Mid
    Grandfather...
[09:08] Gaho
    I won't let the one who caused Japan's downfall
    from glory have his way again.
[09:15] B
    You have one second to stop being annoying,
    or I weally will kill you.
[09:19] Gaho
    Kill me if you must!
[09:21] Gaho
    Take me hostage all you want,
    I shall not kneel to you!
[09:26] B
    Okay, as you wish.
[09:33] Mid
    No! Grandfather!
[09:36] AJ
    Go to hell, Beta! He was my target!
[09:39] B
    Oh, I'm so sowwy! But relax.
    I avoided his vitals.
[09:43] A
    You!
[09:45] B
    How I wuv those looks of despair
    on your faces.
[09:48] B
    Now, will this old man's fwiends
    rush to his aid?
[09:54] Wani
    What do you mean
    that you won't send help?!
[09:57] BB
    Hayama Gaho is no longer indispensable
    to the Restoration Bloc.
[10:01] BB
    And neither is the Counter EX-ARM Squad.
[10:03] Wani
    Wait! They're trying to do their jobs!
[10:06] BB
    It's too late.
[10:08] BB
    We already asked Ichigaya
    to deploy the 13th Special Armored Squad.
[10:14] Wani
    The 13th...?
[10:16] Wani
    It can't be!
[10:18] BB
    Have a look. Aren't they awe-inspiring?
[10:23] Kao
    What are you going to do, Shiga?
[10:26] Shi
    Don't worry. I expected the Bloc to do this.
[10:30] Shi
    That's why I'm here in the U.S. right now.
[10:32] Shi
    I need you to deploy the thing
    we talked about.
[10:36] Shi
    I have an idea.
[10:41] Kon
    Okay, we gotta take Auctioneer out.
[10:43] Kon
    The old man needs help.
    If we don't hurry, he's gonna croak.
[10:48] A
    That's a bad idea.
[10:49] A
    There's no guarantee Beta will hold
    up his end of the deal if we do as he says.
[10:53] Kon
    I know that, man!
    But those two are in danger!
[10:56] A
    Ygg and I will trap Beta online
    before he has the chance to do anything.
[11:02] A
    He's gotta be on the Megafloat's
    network somewhere.
[11:05] A
    With Ygg's help, I can look
    for him without being spotted.
[11:10] A
    If we can hold him off,
    we can rescue Jinkoku-sha!
[11:15] Kon
    Makes sense.
[11:16] Min
    But how will you?
[11:17] A
    I've got a plan. Hear me out here.
[12:21] Ngu
    Why would you side with Beta?
[12:24] Ngu
    That isn't a very wise business move.
[12:27] B
    I guess cops will be cops!
[12:29] B
    Putting lives first, are we?
[12:31] B
    But you took too wong to choose.
[12:33] B
    How typical of the Japanese powice.
[12:38] Ygg
    Not on my watch!
[12:42] A
    Okay, just as planned.
[12:44] A
    Back me up, Ygg!
[12:46] Ygg
    Yes, my dear!
[12:59] A
    Is this the realm representing
    the Megafloat's network?
[13:03] A
    What's that huge wall, though?
[13:06] Ygg
    It must be Beta's firewall!
[13:09] A
    So he's on the other side of this thing.
[13:12] Ygg
    Indeed. But be careful,
    or he'll notice what we're doing.
[13:16] Ygg
    And if he does, he might kill the hostages.
[13:19] Ygg
    Let me build an attack code.
[13:24] Ygg
    I call it the Buster Sword.
    Use it to wreak havoc in this realm!
[13:30] A
    He's been toying with me all this time.
[13:33] A
    It's finally my turn to counter.
[13:39] A
    Let's go!
[13:40] Ygg
    Right!

[13:51] B
    C'mon, cops, Jarde.
    You can do better than that.
[13:55] B
    Hurry up, or I might wose patience
    and kill them all.
[14:00] Kon
    God damn.
[14:01] Kon
    He pisses me right off!
[14:18] A
    Midori?!
[14:20] B
    Yoo-hoo! I've been expecting you!
[14:26] A
    Beta...
[14:31] A
    You bitch!
[14:33] B
    Oh, no, you don't.
[14:34] B
    I can predict all your moves.
[14:37] B
    What? Is that all you've got?
[14:40] A
    Remember, this is cyberspace.
    A program can take many forms in here.
[14:45] A
    Meaning I can even do this!
[14:52] A
    I've got you now!
[14:54] B
    That's a neat little idea.
[14:57] B
    But anything you can do,
[15:00] B
    I can do better!
[15:04] B
    You and I are the same. Always have been.
[15:08] A
    Shit... Who the hell are you?!
[15:12] B
    Did you really forget?
    Search deep within your heart.
[15:26] A
    Number 00... Beta?!
[15:30] B
    Exactly. I'm another
    EX-ARM Number 00 like you.
[15:38] B
    My appearance is a straight copy of yours.
[15:42] B
    But you fought me in something else
    during the Tokyo Attack.
[15:46] B
    What was it, Ogre?
[15:48] B
    The combat android exoframe equipped with
    the EX-ARM of the spinal cord, Number 01.
[15:55] B
    I know you used it after you reawakened, too.
[15:58] B
    Its design has changed a lot
    since it got confiscated,
[16:01] B
    but the mainframe remains the same.
[16:03] A
    Oh, so that's why I knew how to control it.
[16:07] B
    I should've destroyed that thing
    together with Tokyo.
[16:12] A
    Wait, did you attack Tokyo
    to take Ogre out of the equation?
[16:16] B
    Of course not!
[16:17] A
    Then why?
[16:20] B
    "Why," you ask?
[16:23] B
    All I did was do
    what humans have always done.
[16:27] B
    Think back through history.
[16:30] B
    Endless killing, looting, and destruction.
[16:34] B
    And I copied that.
[16:38] B
    Just kidding!
[16:43] B
    What'd you think?
    Sounded like a convincing reason, right?
[16:47] B
    C'mon, man! Who needs a reason to
    squash them like the little bugs they are?!
[16:52] B
    But I guess if I had to say,
    it was because it seemed fun!
[16:57] B
    After that little push I gave them that day,
[17:00] B
    the humans dove headfirst
    into an endless cycle of tragedy.
[17:03] B
    One of poverty, plundering, and revenge...
[17:07] B
    One where malice bred further malice!
[17:10] B
    Could you ask for a more entertaining show?!
[17:14] A
    You're insane.
[17:15] B
    Huh? What's with the scary look?
[17:18] B
    I'm sure you see where I'm coming from.
[17:24] (Flashback) El
    Your happiness lies in constant battle.
[17:29] B
    I told you we're the same.
[17:38] B
    I know you had fun
    letting the hatred consume you!
[17:43] A
    Sure, I was one step away
    from ending up like you.
[17:49] A
    But I...
[17:51] A
    I haven't lost faith like you have!
[17:58] B
    What are you playing at? It's too late.
[18:00] A
    Don't think things will keep going your way!
[18:04] A
    Now, Ygg!
[18:06] Ygg
    Yes, my dear!
[18:07] B
    What?!
[18:10] A
    Break through the cage's program!

    After them!

    Not so fast.

    "Not so fast"?
    You took the words out of my mouth!

    Damn, is Beta controlling
    all these construction androids?

    Minami!
[19:50] B
    Your hands are tied out there.
    Not that you have hands wight now!
[19:58] A
    Man, we wouldn't be in this situation
    if I could use Ogre!
[20:02] Ygg
    Something seems off, my dear.

    Miyabe's corpse is gone.

    What?!

    Aw.
[20:11] Miy
    That sucks.
[20:14] Miy
    I guess you realized.
[20:17] A
    No... You were Beta all along, Miyabe?!
[20:21] Miy
    Bingo!
[20:27] B
    I took over his body
    before the whole auction began.
[20:34] Chi
    What?!
[20:35] Ari
    Wait... With his body,
    he could keep tabs on our squad
[20:40] Ari
    and manipulate them!
[20:45] Kon
    And it gave him the perfect chance
    to bring Jinkoku-sha here from the hideout!
[20:50] B
    Surprised?
[20:51] B
    It's a shame. He was pretty useful.
[20:55] A
    The entire time you watched us,
    you were laughing at us inside, weren't you?!

    Well, let's resume, shall we?

    No, that's not it.
