[00:03] MR
    Aes!
[00:10] Grauphon
    Oho. Show me what you've got.
[00:13] Gene
    Double-Headed Aerkos?
[00:16] MR
    Aes, why? Answer me!
[00:20] Silvia
    It's always the same! Why don't you
    understand what's in my heart?!
[00:24] Silvia
    Why doesn't my voice reach you?!
[00:27] Noir
    Sadly, you're just not cut out
    to be a revolutionary.
[00:30] Silvia
    You weakling!
[00:42] Naomi
    This always happens when she gets heated up.
[00:52] Naomi
    Been waiting for you.
[00:53] Naomi
    I'll be joining you guys.
[00:56] Naomi
    Have the you-know-what ready.
[00:59] Fenrir Captain
    Ready the antiphaser.
[02:43] Gregory
    Vice-Director! Hurry!
[02:45] Gene
    Rouge!
[02:46] MR
    Brother! Stay back!
[02:54] Grauphon
    You've certainly grown in the
    short time since I saw you last.
[03:00] Gene
    And you haven't changed, Grauphon.
[03:07] Grauphon
    We...
[03:10] Grauphon
    can't change.
[03:14] Grauphon
    Watch as the castle you all built burns down.
[03:19] Gene
    Your overdramatic way of saying
    things hasn't changed, either.
[03:25] Grauphon
    Close your mouth...
[03:28] Grauphon
    and listen to the echoes of destruction.
[03:37] Grauphon
    Rouge Redstar!
[03:40] Grauphon
    Give your id in exchange for his life!
[03:43] MR
    Don't you dare touch my brother!
[03:46] Grauphon
    You wretched slaughterer,
[03:48] Grauphon
    murderer of your own kind...
[03:51] Grauphon
    Offer up your very soul!
[04:06] MR
    Jet Black Noir?
[04:08] Noir
    Eden Varock.
[04:09] Noir
    I'd prefer it if you called me that.
[04:22] MR
    Eden!
[04:23] Silvia
    I'll keep you alive a bit longer.
[04:32] MR
    Eden!
[04:35] Silvia
    You would sacrifice yourself for
    that murderer of her own kind?
[04:39] Silvia
    Is the daughter of Eva that important?
[04:43] Grauphon
    I didn't want to see you this way.
[05:09] Grauphon
    All the pieces are in place.
[05:12] MR
    Give back my brother!
[05:19] Silvia
    Time to end this.
[05:24] Naomi
    The Usurpers' landing ship?!
[05:35] Eden
    Go.
[05:39] MR
    That's...
[05:40] Naomi
    He's alive?!
[05:43] MR
    Gene!
[05:45] Eden
    Go, Rouge.
[06:00] MR
    You're the one from before?!
[06:01] Cyan
    Looks like you can fight in that form.
[06:04] Cyan
    Now, fight me!
[06:10] MR
    Move!
[06:11] Cyan
    Feeling up to it now, are you?
[06:14] MR
    Gene!
[06:18] Cyan
    Don't get distracted, now, Big Sister.
[06:22] MR
    Why are you getting in my way?!
[06:28] Cyan
    That's the way, Metal Rouge!
[06:32] Cyan
    Now you're an opponent worth defeating!
[06:35] Ash
    They're evenly matched?
[06:50] Naomi
    They're resonating with each other.
[06:52] Naomi
    They might really be sisters.
[06:55] Naomi
    If we use the antiphaser now, it'll take out
    not only the blue one, but Rouge, too...
[07:02] Naomi
    Rouge!
[07:03] Naomi
    Invert your output phase!
[07:06] Naomi
    Invert phase! Don't ignore me!
[07:09] MR
    What are you even talking about?!
[07:14] Cyan
    I told you not to get distracted!
[07:16] Naomi
    Damn it, what are you doing?!
[07:18] MR
    You're the one who keeps talking to me!
[07:21] Naomi
    Just hurry up and do as I say! Trust me!
[07:24] MR
    How am I supposed to trust you?!
[07:26] Naomi
    Trust me!
[07:27] MR
    As if I can!
[07:28] Naomi
    Trust me!
[07:30] MR
    Oh, damn it!
[07:31] Cyan
    Quit squabbling already!
[07:34] MR
    Do what with this phase, now?!
[07:37] Naomi
    Invert it!
[07:38] Naomi
    Focus your consciousness!
[07:39] Naomi
    Deform one more time,
    like you're becoming a Gladiator!
[07:43] MR
    What?! I already am one!
[07:45] Naomi
    Do it anyway!
[07:46] Naomi
    Come on, focus!
[07:48] MR
    Ugh!
[07:49] Naomi
    Focus... Focus... Focus...
[07:54] Cyan
    Wh-What are you...
[08:00] Cyan
    Get over yourself!
[08:02] Cyan
    Destroy!
[08:02] Naomi
    Focus! Focus! Focus! Focus!
[08:08] Naomi
    Deform!
[08:23] Ash
    What just happened?
[08:25] Naomi
    I realized the frequency characteristics
    of the generators those two have
[08:29] Naomi
    that activate when they're in
    Gladiator mode are identical.
[08:32] Ash
    Huh?
[08:33] Naomi
    So if Rouge inverts her frequency and then
    attacks the other with all her strength,
[08:39] Naomi
    it should be possible for their
    energies to offset each other.
[08:42] Ash
    That flew right over my head.
[08:44] Naomi
    It means they canceled out
    each other's power.
[08:47] Naomi
    It's the same principle
    this antiphaser operates on.
[08:51] Naomi
    Man, I sure am glad it worked, though.
[08:55] Ash
    Leaning a bit heavy on the
    "all's well that ends well," eh?
[08:57] Naomi
    As long as it ends well, I'll take it.
[09:05] Naomi
    There's something I want to tell you.
[09:09] Rouge
    I have something I want to ask you, too.
[09:17] Eden
    Gene...
[09:25] Naomi
    You were a good duo.
[09:30] Ash
    You two should talk things out.
[09:37] TV
    The full story behind the mass
    terror attack on Aletheia HQ
[09:41] TV
    by an armed group last night remains unknown.
[09:42] Ash
    How's our Sleeping Beauty doing?
[09:44] TV
    While this information is unverified...
[09:45] Gregory
    She's still unconscious.
[09:52] Ash
    I guess they're with God now, huh?
[09:56] Gregory
    The Visitors are not gods.
[10:00] Gregory
    They're the first intelligent
    lifeforms from outside Earth
[10:03] Gregory
    that mankind ever made contact with,
    forty years ago.
[10:06] Gregory
    In other words, they're aliens.
[10:08] Ash
    To this day, they only show themselves
    to a small handful of VIPs.
[10:13] Ash
    And yet, they so generously share
    their superior technology with us.
[10:18] Ash
    So what makes them different from gods?
[10:21] Ash
    Though I guess, in the Neans' eyes,
[10:24] Ash
    the humans who made them
    are closer to being God.
[10:28] Gregory
    The ones who created them are
    Dr. Roy Junghardt and Dr. Eva Kristella.
[10:34] Gregory
    Of course, the first Neans
    they made, the Proto-Neans,
[10:39] Gregory
    are entirely different from the
    Neans in mass production today.
[10:44] Ash
    The Immortal Nine.
[10:47] Gregory
    They are beings with the
    potential to surpass humanity.
[10:51] Ash
    Why the hell would they
    make anything like that?
[10:54] Ash
    Nothing but a giant pain
    in the ass, if you ask me.
[11:05] Rouge
    H-Huh?!
[11:07] Rouge
    Wh-What are you doing?!
[11:09] Naomi
    Huh? Oh, this?
[11:12] Naomi
    If I don't wear this,
    they'll realize I'm not human.
[11:15] Rouge
    Huh?!
[11:17] Rouge
    You're not human?
[11:21] Naomi
    Naomi Orthmann is not a human,
[11:24] Naomi
    but a contact Nean the Visitors created
    in order to interact with humans.
[11:29] Naomi
    That's me.
[11:31] Naomi
    I never told you?
[11:33] Rouge
    You didn't.
[11:34] Naomi
    Because you never asked, I guess.
[11:36] Rouge
    You have way too many secrets!
[11:40] Rouge
    So why did we come here?
[11:43] Naomi
    I told you.
[11:45] Naomi
    There's something I want to tell you.
[11:47] Rouge
    Stop dragging it out. Just tell me.
[11:49] Naomi
    They probably want to tell you personally.
[11:52] Rouge
    I don't have time to waste doing this!
[11:55] Naomi
    Here they are.
[12:06] Naomi
    X Noah.
[12:08] Naomi
    The beings that the Earthlings
    call "Visitors."
[12:14] Rouge
    Are they... merfolk?
[12:22] Visitor1
    We X Noah once had forms
    resembling those of humans.
[12:27] Visitor2
    We evolved over the course of many
    generations to adapt to interstellar travel,
[12:33] Visitor2
    resulting in this form.
[12:35] Rouge
    Eh? Huh?
[12:37] Naomi
    They thought you were
    asking them a question.
[12:41] Naomi
    I've brought Rouge Redstar,
    code name Metal Rouge.
[12:45] Visitor1
    Understood, First.
[12:48] Rouge
    "First"? Who's that?
[12:50] Naomi
    I was the first Nean that the X Noah
    created in imitation of the humans.
[12:55] Naomi
    Thus, I'm the "First."
[12:58] Visitor3
    Currently, it refers to the one
    who goes by Naomi Orthmann.
[13:02] Rouge
    So your real name is "First"?
[13:04] Naomi
    I'm Naomi Orthmann.
[13:06] Rouge
    Huh? The first Nean...
[13:10] Rouge
    Wait, how long has it been since
    the Visitors came here, again?
[13:14] Rouge
    Ah!
[13:15] Naomi
    What's your point?
[13:16] Rouge
    I thought you were older than me, but...
[13:19] Naomi
    Gonna start respecting your elders?
[13:20] Visitor2
    Relative resonance.
[13:22] Visitor3
    Meaningless conformity.
[13:24] Visitor1
    Excessive synchronization.
[13:26] Visitor1
    First, we speculate that your
    thought patterns have changed
[13:29] Visitor1
    after all of your time working
    with Rouge Redstar.
[13:32] Visitor1
    However, your judgment remains logical.
[13:36] Visitor1
    It will not hinder your mission.
[13:39] Visitor2
    Your decision to bring Rouge
    Redstar here was logical.
[13:43] Visitor3
    Residing within this vessel is logical.
[13:46] Naomi
    In other words, you need to stay here
    until all this is resolved.
[13:50] Rouge
    What?!
[13:51] Naomi
    The key to decoding Code Eve
    lies within your id.
[13:56] Rouge
    Jill... Silvia said the same thing.
[14:00] Rouge
    It's really true?
[14:01] Naomi
    Yes.
[14:02] Naomi
    Which is why it'll be safer
    for you to stay here.
[14:06] Rouge
    You're going to lock me up in here?
[14:09] Rouge
    Are you going to betray me again?
[14:11] Naomi
    The Visitors don't interfere
    with Earthlings,
[14:14] Naomi
    nor do they limit their behaviors.
[14:17] Naomi
    They're just saying that staying here
    would be safest for you.
[14:20] Rouge
    Safest?
[14:22] Rouge
    If you don't interfere, why are the Neans
    and Code Eve any of your business?
[14:26] Visitor1
    We speculate that there are
    Usurpers among the Alters.
[14:31] Visitor2
    If Code Eve is activated,
[14:33] Visitor2
    all Neans will be set free,
    rendering them uncontrollable.
[14:36] Naomi
    And the Visitors believe the Usurpers
[14:39] Naomi
    will take advantage of the chaos
    to start another war.
[14:44] Naomi
    The Usurpers are targeting our solar system.
[14:47] Naomi
    They want to destroy the
    Visitors and humans alike
[14:49] Naomi
    and take a certain planet away from them.
[14:51] Naomi
    And Silvia and those others are among them.
[14:56] Gene
    Venus...
[14:58] Silvia
    Precisely.
[15:00] Gene
    The planet that's currently home to
    the most Neans in the solar system.
[15:04] Gene
    I see. That makes it an ideal site
    for the base of your rebellion.
[15:10] Silvia
    Not only that.
[15:11] Silvia
    It's the planet we Neans
    were specifically created for.
[15:15] Silvia
    There's no planet more worthy of using
    for the genesis of our new world.
[15:21] Rouge
    The Neans were created for Venus?
    What does that mean?
[15:25] Visitor1
    We X Noah lost our home planet.
[15:28] Visitor2
    We have spent an eternity traveling
    in search of a new home planet.
[15:33] Visitor3
    And that journey led us to this star system.
[15:37] Visitor1
    We forged a contract with the humans of Earth.
[15:40] Visitor3
    We X Noah provide technology
    that humans have not yet attained.
[15:44] Visitor2
    The humans provide a planet where we
    X Noah can exist in our original forms.
[15:49] Noah
    That planet is Venus.
[15:51] Visitor1
    Our races agreed to reform Venus together,
[15:53] Visitor1
    and the humans agreed to allow
    our race to migrate there.
[15:57] Visitor3
    The Neans were created to perform that labor.
[15:59] Visitor1
    They were created using technology
    provided by the X Noah.
[16:03] Rouge
    Huh? W-Wait a minute!
[16:05] Rouge
    You taught the humans how to make
    Neans so they'd give you Venus?
[16:10] Rouge
    Humans are making Neans work on Venus
    because you gave them the technology?
[16:16] Rouge
    And now the Usurpers are making Neans rebel,
[16:20] Rouge
    and while they do...
[16:21] Visitor1
    The Junoids, which humans
    call Usurpers, are dangerous.
[16:25] Visitor2
    Although their origins are the same as ours,
[16:28] Visitor2
    they are destroyers of civilizations
    who evolved in an evil way.
[16:32] Visitor3
    And the Junoids also desire Venus.
[16:35] Visitor1
    So long as they remain under human control,
[16:37] Visitor1
    the Neans can be used to fight the Junoids.
[16:40] Rouge
    What are you saying?
[16:42] Rouge
    Both you and the humans want to use Neans,
[16:44] Rouge
    work them like tools,
    make them fight for you...
[16:47] Visitor1
    That is what the Neans were created for.
[16:49] Visitor3
    We recognize their value as logical beings.
[16:52] Rouge
    Logical?
[16:54] Rouge
    But that's...
[16:56] Rouge
    That's just...
[16:58] Rouge
    Get real!
[17:10] Chau
    What's going on with Venus?
[17:13] Chau
    Any word from the Planetary
    Development Administration?
[17:15] Staff
    Chief!
[17:16] Staff
    Message from the Orbital Diplomacy Division!
[17:20] Staff
    The Usurpers on Jupiter are making a move!
[17:26] Chau
    Simultaneous invasions?!
[17:36] Naomi
    The enemy's main body is on the move.
[17:38] Gregory
    DEFCON 1 in response to the Usurpers.
[17:40] Ash
    Oh, come on. Another war?
[17:44] Ash
    I wasn't expecting any visitors.
[17:48] Ash
    You're...
[17:50] Eden
    Hey.
[17:54] Rouge
    It's my turn to ask questions.
[17:56] Rouge
    Why did you betray me?
[17:58] Rouge
    Why did you give me to Ochrona?
[18:00] Naomi
    I know, right?
[18:02] Rouge
    Don't give me that!
[18:04] Naomi
    I thought it was the safest option.
[18:06] Naomi
    You would've been dismantled
    right away if I hadn't.
[18:10] Rouge
    Talk to me before you make
    decisions like that!
[18:13] Naomi
    Sowwy.
[18:16] Rouge
    Let me hit you once.
[18:17] Naomi
    Huh?!
[18:18] Rouge
    Do you have any idea how much that sucked?!
[18:21] Rouge
    They put me in some weird water,
    I almost ran out of Nectar,
[18:24] Naomi
    Okay, okay, fine! All right!
[18:24] Rouge
    then you told me to do something
    or other with some phase...
[18:27] Naomi
    But go easy, okay? I'm not as tough as—
[18:34] Naomi
    Ow!
[18:36] Naomi
    I just said I'm not as tough as you...
[18:40] Naomi
    Also, don't use your fist!
[18:43] Rouge
    You're gonna stay with me, right?
[18:48] Naomi
    I guess you'd be in real trouble without me.
[18:51] Rouge
    Shut up.
[18:55] Rouge
    So anyway, I'll be going now.
[18:58] Visitor1
    Where will you go?
[19:00] Rouge
    To Venus, of course.
[19:01] Visitor2
    That is dangerous. The logical decision
    is for Rouge Redstar to remain here.
[19:07] Visitor3
    We recommend staying here.
[19:09] Naomi
    It's true that even the Junoids won't have
    an easy time messing with Orbital City.
[19:16] Naomi
    It could be said that if Rouge Redstar
    stayed here, Code Eve wouldn't activate,
[19:20] Naomi
    meaning she would be safer.
[19:22] Visitor1
    Indeed.
[19:23] Naomi
    But now that Venus is in danger
    of falling into the Junoids' hands,
[19:28] Naomi
    I will bet on the potential Rouge Redstar has
    to resolve everything with her powers.
[19:34] Naomi
    I put it to you that this
    is also a logical decision.
[19:44] Visitor1
    We X Noah are not permitted to interfere
    in any individual's decision-making.
[19:49] Visitor1
    Therefore, we accept your proposal.
[19:51] Visitor2
    We will begin deliberations on an alternate
    plan in the event your proposal fails.
[19:56] Naomi
    Thank you.
[19:59] Naomi
    Then I will do the best I can
    at Rouge Redstar's side.
[20:03] Visitor3
    We cannot accept your own
    departure for Venus, First.
[20:07] Visitor1
    Your duties are limited to contact and
    negotiation with the humans of Earth.
[20:12] Visitor2
    Combat is not among them.
[20:17] Naomi
    I hereby request a day off.
[20:21] Visitor1
    A day off?
[20:23] Naomi
    Since the day I was born,
    I've never had a single holiday.
[20:26] Naomi
    It's been academically proven that taking
    a day off improves one's work efficiency.
[20:32] Naomi
    I have the data right here.
[20:37] Visitor1
    I accept this as logical.
[20:39] Naomi
    Thank you.
[20:42] Rouge
    I'm impressed you've been able
    to deal with them all this time.
[20:45] Naomi
    You get used to it, I guess.
[20:47] Naomi
    I think they'll still pay me
    even on my day off, though.
[20:56] Rouge
    So how are we going to get to Venus?
[20:59] Naomi
    Good question...
[21:03] Naomi
    There we go! All's well that ends well!
[21:15] Ash
    Hey.
