[00:26] ---
    I ask for the sincere cooperation
    of you Original Pandora, beginning today.
[00:41] ---
    The Mark IV.
[00:43] ---
    Mark IV?!
[00:47] ---
    It is comprised of
    self-replicating nanomachines
[00:50] ---
    installed with your
    Original Pandora data.
[00:54] ---
    Original Pandora data?
[00:57] ---
    By administering the
    Mark IV to the E-Pandora,
[01:01] ---
    we can activate their Stigmata,
[01:03] ---
    thereby raising the E-Pandoras' abilities
    to those of the Original Pandora.
[01:21] ---
    AVENGE WORLD!!
[01:37] ---
    To protect someone is
    to know hate for someone

[01:47] ---
    An unknown pulse
[01:48] ---
    Swallow it and it becomes
    mere hope, it falls apart with a sound

[01:54] ---
    The savage pain inside me
[02:02] ---
    is a fighting tragedy
[02:04] ---
    I never wished for this power; the stars
    to wish upon have already fallen

[02:13] ---
    This sad fate screams out loud
[02:16] ---
    Tear me apart, my loved ones
[02:21] ---
    Now, grab hold of your dream
[02:24] ---
    However much you scream about your sad fate
[02:26] ---
    light and prayers will change to betrayal
[02:32] ---
    It's time to be brought to justice
[02:34] ---
    Ah! Where did that smile go?
[02:38] ---
    The answer is nowhere
    to be seen this daybreak

[02:57] ---
    Mark IV, huh...
[03:00] ---
    If they have it, why didn't
    they use it for the mock battles?
[03:02] ---
    Could've saved the E-Pandora
    girls some embarrassment, y'know?
[03:33] ---
    About this Mark IV...
[03:35] ---
    Wasn't it still pending
    Chevalier approval?
[03:39] ---
    Plus...
[03:41] ---
    Even if our data was gathered
    during our first-day medical checks,
[03:44] ---
    it probably took time to install it.
[03:48] ---
    The Godspeed of the East...
[03:50] ---
    That said, it does seem
    to go against common sense.
[03:56] ---
    Grafting Stigmata onto normal
    people takes a heavy toll by itself.
[04:00] ---
    Yet, they're also using
    nanomachines to activate them
[04:05] ---
    and increase their abilities to our level...
[04:12] ---
    Can their bodies really endure that?
[04:14] ---
    Just what I was thinkin'.
[04:16] ---
    There's definitely something
    fishy about the E-Pandora Project.
[04:18] ---
    That's being what's called a
    "paranoid psychotic," Zombie Girl.
[04:22] ---
    Who are you calling a zombie?!
[04:24] ---
    My name is "Roxanne the Immortal"!
[04:30] ---
    The Young Tempest Phoenix...
[04:32] ---
    ...and the Maverick of Walpurgis, huh?
[04:35] ---
    It's our duty as Pandora to
    obey orders without question.
[04:40] ---
    Well, well. Aren't you
    just the model soldier?
[04:46] ---
    Surely you can understand...
[04:51] ---
    ...Miss Unparalleled Monster?
[04:54] ---
    Well, Monster?
[05:00] ---
    You girls...
[05:02] ---
    Why do you insist
    on calling me a monster?
[05:10] ---
    Believe it or not...
[05:13] ---
    ...I'm confident about
    my looks too, you know!
[05:18] ---
    She's entertaining.
[05:20] ---
    That's for sure!
[05:25] ---
    83 centimeters on top...
[05:28] ---
    No, 85. Your pre-period?
[05:32] ---
    Mind your own business!
[05:33] ---
    There are lots of
    entertaining people here!
[05:36] ---
    But they're also war buddies you'll
    have to rely on when things get ugly.
[05:40] ---
    Let's all get along.
[05:42] ---
    Later, pipsqueak!
    Drink some milk!
[05:45] ---
    Shut up, Undead!
[05:50] ---
    She's got a point, though.
[05:54] ---
    It's true that we can't
    question our superiors' orders,
[05:58] ---
    what with humankind's survival
    hanging in the balance and all.
[06:01] ---
    I mean, we've already given up
    our happiness as girls--no, as hotties--
[06:06] ---
    in order to fight.
[06:09] ---
    In the end, maybe we're all
    victims in this screwed-up world.
[06:26] ---
    Come to think of it...
[06:29] ---
    The Original Pandora
    data that's being installed...
[06:33] ---
    Whose is it?
[06:56] ---
    Amelia Evans wishes to meet with you.
[07:05] ---
    The higher-ups ordered the Mark IV's use.
[07:08] ---
    There's no room for reconsideration.
[07:10] ---
    Oh, no, I'm not here to selfishly
    ask for your reconsideration.
[07:16] ---
    Then why are you here?
[07:20] ---
    The Mark IV...
[07:22] ---
    Is it an upgraded version of the Mark III?
[07:28] ---
    Yes.
[07:29] ---
    But why?! The Mark III was a failure!
[07:46] ---
    I'm reminded of that each
    time I see this hair of yours.
[07:56] ---
    But the Mark IV was
    developed upon a foundation
[07:58] ---
    to which the Original Pandoras'
    data can be applied.
[08:03] ---
    It boasts far greater stability
    without the worry of side effects.
[08:08] ---
    You can consider it completely
    different from the Mark III.
[08:12] ---
    Will it... really be okay?
[08:18] ---
    Be quiet!
[08:22] ---
    Whether it's "really okay" or not...
[08:25] ---
    ...is my decision.
[08:28] ---
    You willingly signed the contract
    that says you'll obey any order
[08:32] ---
    for the purpose of the E-Pandora Project!
[08:36] ---
    Even if you were ordered to die,
    you wouldn't be allowed to refuse!
[08:42] ---
    You mean we don't even
    have the right to fear death?
[08:47] ---
    That's right.
[08:51] ---
    Even if the Mark IV
    was life-threatening...
[08:58] ---
    ...this is all for humankind's sake.
[09:01] ---
    Still, it's not going to kill us, right?
[09:06] ---
    Would I really let you die just like that?
[09:14] ---
    I'll explain it to Jina
    and Rattle myself!
[09:17] ---
    Thank you for listening to me!
[09:23] ---
    Doctor!
[09:25] ---
    Let's make the E-Pandora Project
    a success for sure!
[09:43] ---
    Stop!
[09:45] ---
    Remove her internal Stigmata at once!
[09:47] ---
    But they've been activated!
[09:50] ---
    Forcibly removing them
    now would be life-threatening--
[09:53] ---
    I said do it now!
[09:55] ---
    Do you mean for Amelia--
    for her--to die?!
[10:03] ---
    I trust you, Dr. Ohara.
[10:13] ---
    Tying with me...
[10:16] ---
    You are still... as skillful as ever...
[10:19] ---
    That's... my line...
[10:22] ---
    How shall we... square off next?
[10:30] ---
    I am sorry!
[10:36] ---
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[10:41] ---
    You are going to eat that?
[10:47] ---
    Did you just laugh?
[10:50] ---
    I asked if you just laughed.
[10:52] ---
    I-I did not mean to...
[10:55] ---
    So you admit you laughed?
[10:59] ---
    Listen here.
[11:01] ---
    Are you trying to pick a fight with me?!
[11:03] ---
    What you just did to
    Rattle was unforgivable.
[11:06] ---
    Huh?!
[11:07] ---
    Stop, Jina.
[11:09] ---
    You know Rattle became an E-Pandora
[11:12] ---
    so she would never have to starve again.
[11:14] ---
    So let her eat.
[11:21] ---
    Let's go.
[11:22] ---
    S-Satellizer! Please do not stop us!
[11:26] ---
    She and you place
    different importance on eating.
[11:30] ---
    What does that mean?!
[11:32] ---
    Wait, Satellizer!
[11:34] ---
    Hold it!
[11:38] ---
    Pity?
[11:40] ---
    That wasn't my intention.
[11:41] ---
    J-Jina! It's okay!
[11:44] ---
    Be quiet!
[11:50] ---
    I apologize for her rudeness.
[11:52] ---
    I understand why you're upset,
    but I'd like to avoid a fight.
[11:56] ---
    Why's that?
[11:59] ---
    You're no match for us as you are now.
[12:02] ---
    Satellizer is correct!
[12:05] ---
    Quiet, you.
[12:06] ---
    Ahh! H-Hey! You are pulling too hard!
[12:09] ---
    The straps are digging into me! It hurts!
[12:11] ---
    Whoa! My boobs are showing!
[12:13] ---
    Damn it!
[12:19] ---
    Jina...
[12:43] ---
    Jina!
[12:45] ---
    What's wrong, Amelia?
[12:47] ---
    I heard you volunteered to
    be given the Mark IV!
[12:51] ---
    It's nothing.
    Don't get so worked up.
[12:53] ---
    "Nothing"?!
[12:54] ---
    We're talking about the Mark IV here!
    There's no guarantee you'll survive!
[12:58] ---
    Let go!
[12:59] ---
    You were going to come up with some
    reason to volunteer yourself, weren't you?!
[13:04] ---
    Just like with the Mark III!
[13:06] ---
    I don't like how you always try
    to bear the burden all by yourself!
[13:11] ---
    You already died once with the Mark III!
[13:16] ---
    Although, thanks to that, the Mark III
    tests went back to the drawing board
[13:19] ---
    and we avoided a terrible
    experience of our own...
[13:24] ---
    Let's do this fairly.
[13:26] ---
    This time, it's my turn.
[13:29] ---
    I want to survive my contract
    period and then live a normal life.
[13:33] ---
    We all do, right?
[13:36] ---
    And there's your kid brother
    who's waiting for you, remember?
[13:47] ---
    I-I...
[13:49] ---
    I...!
[13:50] ---
    I'm gonna get so strong that
    you won't even compare to me!
[13:56] ---
    Please, Dr. Ohara!
[14:04] ---
    All right.
[14:07] ---
    Thank you!
[14:11] ---
    Her...
[14:13] ---
    The Original data installed
    in the Mark IV, don't tell me it's...
[14:19] ---
    It's hers.
[14:23] ---
    This is also to give those
    Originals a good smackdown!
[14:32] ---
    I can hold my own in an
    endurance battle, but not this!
[14:36] ---
    Guess I'll head back to my room.
[14:40] ---
    Come, now. The night is still young.
[14:44] ---
    It's almost time for lights-out.
[14:47] ---
    As I said, it is still young!
[14:49] ---
    We can do indecent things in the dark!
[14:51] ---
    It's touching me...
    It's touching me!
[14:56] ---
    I've volunteered for
    the Mark IV experiment.
[14:59] ---
    Why are you telling me?
[15:02] ---
    The Original Pandora
    data in the Mark IV is yours.
[15:06] ---
    Huh?
[15:07] ---
    You have my gratitude.
[15:09] ---
    I-I wasn't the one who decided it--
[15:11] ---
    Even so.
[15:14] ---
    Because I get to use
    your strength... to defeat you!
[15:21] ---
    Will it really be that easy, I wonder?
[15:28] ---
    I look forward to our mock battle.
[15:31] ---
    The mock battle...
[15:34] ---
    I had intended to volunteer for it, but...
[15:45] ---
    I wonder what she and
    Satelli are talking about...
[15:48] ---
    Forget about her...
[15:50] ---
    ...and do indecent things with me!
[15:53] ---
    Hold on, Rana!
[15:55] ---
    Or, better yet,
    would you rather have a baptism?!
[16:02] ---
    Artificial Stigmata numbers stabilized.
[16:05] ---
    Mark IV is ready to be administered.
[16:09] ---
    It's time to make me strong...
[16:11] ---
    ...with your natural-born strength.
[16:14] ---
    Vitals?
[16:15] ---
    All green.
[16:16] ---
    Good...
[16:17] ---
    Commence Mark IV administration.
[16:19] ---
    Commencing administration.
[16:32] ---
    Mark IV administration complete.
[16:34] ---
    Artificial Stigmata activity increasing.
[16:36] ---
    30... 50... 90...
[16:39] ---
    Synapse signalization normal.
[16:43] ---
    Micro-machinery
    receptor activation rate...
[16:45] ---
    30... 40... 50...
[16:48] ---
    80!
[16:48] ---
    Rapid increase! 105! 306!
[16:51] ---
    Rising even further!
[17:21] ---
    Volt Weapon... deploy.
[17:29] ---
    A Volt Weapon...
[17:30] ---
    ...materialized.
[17:32] ---
    Jina!
[17:33] ---
    G-Get 'er!
[17:36] ---
    Volt Weapon: deploy.
[17:43] ---
    Acceleration!
[17:50] ---
    Ooh, she's got sharp moves.
[17:58] ---
    Today, Chevalier revealed the
    initial result of its E-Pandora Project,
[18:03] ---
    which was previously veiled in secrecy.
[18:05] ---
    "E-Pandora Project Finally Unveiled"
[18:06] ---
    Her power is on par
    with a standard Pandora,
[18:09] ---
    she can produce Volt Weapons,
    and even possesses high-end skills.
[18:13] ---
    In response, experts have stated
[18:16] ---
    that they have high hopes
    for the E-Pandora Project...
[18:21] ---
    The demonstration has had
    a tremendously positive reaction.
[18:24] ---
    There is now public
    support for the E-Pandora.
[18:28] ---
    We'll show off a second and
    third success case in a similar fashion.
[18:34] ---
    How is the subject?
[18:36] ---
    The unusual Stigmata
    activity is still progressing.
[18:40] ---
    It's eating away at her bodily tissues.
[18:42] ---
    About as expected...
[18:46] ---
    But we need her
    to remain alive for now.
[18:52] ---
    Even as a living corpse, if need be.
[19:12] ---
    Is she conscious?
[19:13] ---
    Yes. She's most likely aware that she's...
[19:19] ---
    That she's changing into a Nova.
[19:26] ---
    I'm sorry, Jina.
[19:28] ---
    There was no likelihood
    of success from the start.
[19:33] ---
    But...
[19:41] ---
    A-Amelia.
[19:44] ---
    I-It's been three days now.
    Do you think Jina's okay?
[19:47] ---
    Dr. Ohara said she'd be fine.
[19:51] ---
    And you know the kind of person she is.
[19:53] ---
    Y-You're right. If it was
    dangerous, she'd say so.
[19:56] ---
    Yeah. She's forthright like that.
[19:58] ---
    So she'll be just fine.
[20:04] ---
    We've tried everything possible.
[20:11] ---
    I believe her death is
    only a matter of time now.
[20:19] ---
    J-Jina! You did it!
[20:22] ---
    You made us proud!
[20:25] ---
    See them...
[20:29] ---
    I want to... see them...!
[20:35] ---
    V-Vitals rising rapidly!
[20:37] ---
    In this condition?!
    What's the cause?!
[20:39] ---
    I don't know!
[20:46] ---
    Jina?!
[20:52] ---
    What happened?
[21:13] ---
    No, don't tell me you've...!
[21:16] ---
    You fools!
[21:17] ---
    If we let it get outside,
    everything's over!
[21:21] ---
    Do whatever it takes to stop it!
[21:23] ---
    Wh-What exactly should we do?!
[21:25] ---
    Do you need to be
    told how to do everything?!
[21:28] ---
    Use the Pandora!
[21:30] ---
    But, Sir, our secrets could get out!
[21:33] ---
    What other way is there?!
[21:35] ---
    I don't care how many it takes!
    Send only those who can get the job done!
[21:40] ---
    The aforementioned
    Pandora and their Limiters
[21:42] ---
    are requested for emergency mobilization.
[21:44] ---
    Proceed to designated positions immediately.
[21:46] ---
    All other Pandora and Limiters are
    to remain in their quarters on standby.
[21:51] ---
    I repeat...
[21:53] ---
    This is not a drill.
[21:55] ---
    I repeat...
[21:57] ---
    This is not a drill.
[22:00] ---
    Jina?
[22:08] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[22:11] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[22:14] ---
    The world will embrace our wounds
[22:29] ---
    Don't be hurt all by yourself
[22:35] ---
    Those are the words I always wanted to hear
[22:40] ---
    Show off the futures that are sealed away
[22:45] ---
    Show off their sparkle
[22:51] ---
    Wishful heartbeats will wash
    away the sadness

[22:56] ---
    What I want to share is the
    certain warmth of dreams

[23:01] ---
    Seek out and open your heart
[23:04] ---
    True pain will usher in tomorrow
[23:06] ---
    While the world embraces our wounds
[23:12] ---
    I will search for meaning, and
    even if I find nothing at all

[23:18] ---
    I'll never give up! I'll go!
[23:23] ---
    Ignite your life...
[23:24] ---
    Now is everything!
[23:37] ---
    Should I lose my life...
[23:40] ---
    An explanation would be wasted
    on an underclassman like you.
[23:43] ---
    Go cool down outside.
[23:45] ---
    Next time: "Mate."
