[bunniefuu]

[Anno] In order to contact

the Negator Unrepair,

Fuko and company go

to Rio de Janeiro.

They each purchase

a classy outfit

for the infiltration

mission and board

the target luxury

liner that evening.

There they are met

with luxurious decorations,

lavish food, and

beautifully-dressed patrons,

but this ship also hosts

a black market auction,

one that treats

Negators fellow humans

As merchandise to

be bought and sold,

the underground society

twisted by dark desires.

Fuko is shaken and

begins to reflect.

She wonders which is better:

joining the Union

or being sold off

in the auctions.

But Andy eases her mind.

He speaks of what

they have encountered

and how it's changed him.

As he does, those that Juiz

called Negator Hunters appear.

These individuals have

a singular objective:

to get revenge

against the world.

The curtains now rise on

a spectacular battle.

[Tatiana] Zombie,

we've got big trouble!

We have infiltrators on

the deck of the ship,

and they were speaking

a language other than English!

[g*nf*re]

There are four in total,

and at least two of 'em

are confirmed Negators.

[Juiz] Negator hunters.

Are these the same

ones who took Unseen?

[Juiz] Most likely, yes.

We have one thing in common:

that they also specialize

in collecting Negators by force.

But the difference

lies in our objectives.

We who are aligned with Union

are seeking to k*ll God

To be freed of rules.

Them, on the other hand,

they are seeking revenge against

the world.

UN [DETAILS NOT KNOWN]

UN

They dispose of

collected Negators

they deem worthless.

Well, I suppose that's another

thing we have in common.

UN [CONFIDENTIAL]

UN

[Fuko Izumo] We do not!

At least, that's not why

you tried to k*ll me.

You did it in order

to protect people, right?

These powers, being a Negator,

it can be sad and painful.

But even so

Taking it out on the

world is not right!

[snickers]

- Let's go.

- Yeah!

[Andy] Go ahead and charge me up!

-Right!

[Andy] We can bulldoze

through these chumps!

- [grunts]

- [bones crunching]

- Huh?

- Who the hell are you?

[groans]

[grunts]

[Andy] Tatiana!

Unbreakable Sword!

UNBREAKABLE

UNBREAKABLE SWORD-

KURIKARA

[Tatiana] Okay, okay!

Do you know how hard

it was to get this?

Emergency alert!

Two intruders have

breached the hall!

They could be heading down

to the auction items now!

Ah, stop them! k*ll

'em if you have to!

[Tatiana] Now, don't lose this!

[Andy] Appreciate it!

[all gasping]

[bones cracking]

Listen up 'cause I'm only

gonna say this once!

[all gasping]

Negators aren't

merchandise, you hear me?

Better get back.

[rumbling]

[glass shattering]

Andy, quick!

[chomps]

The Negator hunters!

The Union, huh? [slurps]

[both] The Negator is

not going with them.

[distant booming]

Where do these

stairs lead to, Andy?

The cargo hold where they keep

the auction items.

[grunting]

They crashed the party before

the auction started,

so those hunters are bound

to be headin' that way, too.

[grunts] Don't worry.

We'll find the

Negator before them

and then save him!

Worse comes to worst, we fight.

- Stay ready, okay?

- Yeah!

[Chikara] What do I do?

If I move I can't stop him

and if I stop him

I can't run away!

Dammit, how did things

wind up like this?

I always knew I had

a mysterious power.

That's why I kept it hidden!

I kept it a secret, so

Why?

Hey, Chikara!

Say, did you finish

your homework?

Let me copy it before

class, will ya?

Teacher always calls on me.

[Chikara] Mm-hmm.

[Ryo groans]

[screams] Shut up!

What is with everyone speaking

gibberish all of the sudden?

Is this some sort of prank?

You guys got me! I give up!

Also, which one of you jerks

screwed with my TV?

The people, text

Everything's in gibberish!

What gives, huh?

You playing back

videos or something?

Huh?

[birds chirping]

Uh, what is going on with you?

You've been talkin'

funny since yesterday.

Why don't you drop

the act already?

It sounds pretty

forced, if you ask me.

Uh?

[stun g*n buzzing]

[groaning]

Secured one Negator.

Ability unknown.

[thug 1] The Union

will be there soon.

- Hurry up and get out of there.

-[thug 2] Copy that.

[all shouting]

[whimpering]

[Chikara] When I

came to I was here,

caged like an animal,

and I've got some

gangster-looking dude pointing

a g*n at me in a room surrounded

by freaky creatures!

[high-pitched squealing]

[whimpers]

Oh, no! Not good!

My legs are trembling!

[whimpers] My power!

What an idiot. Now I'm

free to move again.

You got nerve, wasting my time.

But you're much too valuable

of an auction item.

No chance I'd let you get away.

[whimpering]

[thug] Hah.

Ah, well, screw it.

I'll just put a

slug in your leg.

That'll [grunts]

[Chikara] Huh?

- [whimpers]

- [Rip] I see.

External-targeting

compulsory type, huh?

As long as you don't move,

you negate the movement

of a target in your field

of vision, I presume?

How intriguing.

You're the restrainer type

I've been hoping for.

No chance in hell I'm handing

you over to the Union.

[speaking Japanese]

…THAT IS.

[Chikara] Who are they?

Are they on my side?

Are they here to save me?

Hey, Latla, what language

is the kid speaking?

That was Japanese, right?

I can't speak it, though.

Well, that sucks.

I was hoping I'd get

to ask him more

about his ability.

[Creed] Leave it to me.

I'll figure it out,

since we only care whether we

can use him or not, yeah?

[screams]

[snickers]

[Creed] You're about to get

pumped full of lead.

If you don't wanna die,

you better use your ability.

[whimpering]

Quite a crude way to recruit,

don't you think?

Eh, I don't see any harm.

If he can't intentionally

use his power

then he's no use to us.

And besides, if he dies,

then the ability will

just transfer over

to a different human.

In five

[Chikara] He's

gonna sh**t me? Why?

Four.

[Chikara] Just great!

They're not here to

save me after all!

I should use my power,

right? To stop him?

Three.

[Chikara] It's no use!

I can't stop shaking!

Two.

[Chikara] Dammit, it's

all this power's fault!

If I just didn't have it

then right about now I'd be

I'd be

[all laughing]

Oh, you!

One!

[Chikara] Mom, Dad, I'm sorry!

Think he's dead?

Yeah. 100%, he is dead.

So that means

[grunts]

[Andy snickers]

[b*ll*ts clanging on floor]

Oh?

[screams]

[Chikara whimpers]

ARE YOU OKAY?

Y-YEAH.

- WAIT, JAPANESE?

- TAKE THIS.

Tatiana, in the cargo

hold, we found him.

[Tatiana] Roger! I'm on my way!

I understand them?

Now let's see.

That first one's

packin' a Gatling g*n.

But not an a*mo clip in sight.

How's he firing it, then?

The second one's

a martial artist for sure,

and I can tell he's strong.

The third one, maybe

a support type?

She's definitely

light on equipment.

Might have some sort

of a counter ability.

As for the last guy,

the one with the eye patch

[grunts]

[whimpering] You m*rder*r!

[Rip] You with the card.

You can repair yourself.

What kind of Negator are you?

Not like it matters.

You see that wound there?

It won't be able

to heal itself till I die.

[slurps]

UNDEAD

UNLUCK

[grunts]

I'm afraid that's as close

as you're gonna get.

I don't know what ability

you have exactly

But if you need to

cut yourself in order

for your healing

to take effect

Then you're all out of luck.

The wounds I inflict

will negate any

and all healing techniques that

are attempted on them.

Hmm.

So I've got you beat.

Someone help me!

- Fuko!

- [Fuko gasps]

[grunts]

The two of you are

with the Union, right?

Does that mean they want

the Negator as well?

Hate to disappoint,

but we've already called dibs,

so fork him over.

You see, we're gonna k*ll him.

- [whimpers]

- That ability will

be useful for our team.

[whimpering]

[teeth chattering]

[Rip] It'll be more useful

once transferred over

onto someone who isn't

completely spineless.

By the way, that language change

has made hunting down Negators

way easier. That

was you guys, right?

Nice, thank you.

Ya-hah!

The pleasure's all

ours, buddy boy!

Now it's crystal clear!

[grunts]

[gasps]

Our 11th member

ain't gonna be you!

Parts b*llet Head!

[Rip] The one I didn't target

cut off his head!

Who are these two?

- [Tatiana] Ba-goom!

- [Latla screams]

[gasps] Creed, Feng!

It's fine. We can handle it.

[screams] What is it now?

Tatiana!

[Tatiana] So sorry

I'm late, Fuko!

You just leave these

two to me, okay?

[whimpering]

And I'll leave the other two

in your capable hands.

[Andy] Yeah!

Roger that!

Repair Boost!

[laughs] That's gotta hurt!

Crimson Crescent Moon!

[grunts] He dodged it?

[grunts]

[screams] He chopped

off both his hands!

You're quick on the draw

with that blade of yours.

Can I presume that your

restorative powers are at play?

[snickers]

[screams] What are you doing?

I already told you.

Doing that activates

your healing,

so it won't work no matter

how much you try

and hack yourself up to bits.

Nothing ventured,

nothing gained.

Oh?

- It worked! But how?

- [groaning]

HATES GORE

[Andy] Parts b*llet Forearms!

Rip, watch out!

[Andy] Their

trajectories changed?

Must have been that

lady's ability.

[Rip laughs]

You're sure an interesting one.

Why do you waste your

talent with them?

Come over to our side.

We're way more fun. [slurps]

Oh, do me a favor.

Would you fix up my nose, Latla?

[Latla] Hmm.

All right, fine.

So let me see.

So made it look like you

were trying to heal yourself

when in actuality it

was an offensive attack.

Because of that, my

rule didn't apply,

freeing you to

cut off your own

- And there.

- [groans]

- [whimpering]

- What I'm saying is,

I like your style.

Together, we'd

That's a hard pass.

I was curious what Unrepair

would be like when

I learned of it.

But it ain't enough

to k*ll me, so

Any interest I had

is long gone now,

and I couldn't care less

about what you're up to.

Huh.

That's unexpected.

Someone like you

is much better off with us,

but oh well.

So, what about you,

cutie with the short hair?

Um, you mean me?

Whether planned or not,

you chopped off that guy's head

like it was nothing to you.

You're crazy in a good way.

The one cowering next to you

could never pull that off.

[whimpers]

He's so freaked out all

the time that he can't utilize

his restriction ability

at all. [exhales]

Seems he can't even fulfill

his own requirement

of remaining still because

he's constantly

racked with fear.

The ability is a winner

but the person attached

to it's a dud, and

so he must die.

But why? Tell me!

It's our aim to fill our team

with only the strongest.

With them we'll be able

to teach people a thing

or two about who keeps

the world turning.

[Andy snarls]

[Rip] Once we have

the numbers we'll start taking

over countries one by one.

[Fuko gasps] But why

would you do that?

Blame God, the one who's

actually toying with us,

not the innocent

people of the world!

And are you going

to k*ll this God?

We've got more than

enough problems

on our hands as it is,

but if you want

to risk your lives on something

like that, go ahead.

[Latla groans]

[screams]

Ah, no!

I put so much work into

my makeup for this party!

[Andy] The sword missed her,

but the blood still hit.

Did she negate the attack?

[Latla] Do you have any idea

[Rip] Now then,

let's get back to business.

Time for you to say goodbye,

Mr. Scaredy Cat.

[whimpers]

[Andy snarls]

Here's hoping your

successor's a winner.

[Andy] Dammit, I can't

k*ll the momentum

with my regeneration!

Get back, Fuko!

[shouts]

[gasps]

[Andy] Fuko!

Aw, man.

Now why'd she have

to go and do that?

What a waste.

[groaning]

[Rip] The card guy reduced

the force of the scalpel so

it didn't pierce

right through her.

But still, she's got

an hour to live at best.

Now she's useless, too.

A shame, really.

Andy, it's fine!

I'm good!

Sorry for jumping in

the way like that.

But you managed to slow down

its momentum enough.

It would have been a lot worse

if you hadn't blocked it.

Don't worry, honestly.

Just be your normal self.

'Kay?

Yeah, yeah.

All right.

I'll k*ll that jerk

right now and

[thug 1] This way! Hurry!

[thug 2] Find them!

[slurps]

[Rip] Hate to run,

but that's our cue.

Though I did bump

off a Union member.

Guess I'll have to

settle for that.

Well, I'll be seeing

you heroes soon.

[thug] You got some nerve

ruining our auction items!

How you punks plan on paying

us back for this, huh?

[Chikara whimpers]

[grunts] Just one

thing after another.

Hold it right there,

pal! So it's you.

You guys are the Negator hunters

that've been bustin' up

our turf, aren't ya?

[Andy] I move and they sh**t.

I'd be fine, but Fuko

And if I don't move,

that jerk gets away.

I need a plan.

[gasps]

[Chikara] Uh, sorry.

I'm not sure how to

stop the bleeding.

Don't get too close.

It could be dangerous.

She's a Negator like you.

Touch her bare skin

and you're dead, kid.

- Watch out.

- Huh? Dead?

Ah, I'll be careful.

[wincing]

This girl here's badly hurt!

- Help her!

- [Andy/Fuko] Huh?

Call for a doctor right now!

It's me that you want, isn't it?

So just let her go!

She has to get to a doctor

before she loses more blood!

Please, I'm begging [screams]

Step aside, kid, or

you'll regret it!

Dammit, dammit!

[gasping] Dad.

Mom!

[whimpers]

[Chikara's mom] Chi, dear,

listen to me, okay?

In life you're going

to meet many different

kinds of people.

And if you're lucky you'll

even come across those who

will show you kindness.

- Cherish those people.

- [Chikara crying]

[Chikara's mom] If

they're in trouble,

take a moment to pause.

And then move again

to help those people.

[crying]

Ah, screw it.

We'll k*ll you, too.

[Chikara's mom] If you

do I'm certain that

every one of those people

will become

irreplaceable to you.

Don't move!

Did you just

Your ability, it

[Chikara] I don't know what's

going on around here,

but I do know that it's thanks to

me being such a big coward that

that girl ended up getting hurt!

Does this help? Can you use it?

I swear I won't freak out again!

Please, if I do this right,

is it enough for

you to save her?

[Fuko gasps]

Oh, yeah!

Let's do this! Kid,

you are wicked sick!
