[bunniefuu]

- No matter what,
I will protect the children.

Even if I have to k*ll.

I'll k*ll you!

I'll k*ll you!

[grunts]

[whirring]

Take this,
you piece of junk!

[whirring down]

- [gasps]
Pascal.

- I swore to protect
the children!

And if you wanna get to them,
you have to get through me!

Now, die!

I'm through with you!

Disappear!

- [groaning]

Huh?

[grunts]
Huh?

[winces]

- Report.
- [gasps]

- Finished performing triage
of the damage.

- Sorry about that.

- In current conditions,

gratitude would be more adequate
than an apology.

- [grunts]

[exhales]

Thanks for--
- Miss A2!

- Pascal!

- I may have gotten carried away

for a bit back there!

But I beat up our enemies
real good!

I know I got a bit into

the whole k*lling
our enemies thing,

but I hope I didn't cause you
any trouble, Miss A2.

- [grunts]

[chuckles]

No, you actually came right
on time.

[beeping]
[gasps]

- Someone, anyone.
- [gasps]

- This is the resistance camp.

- Lily!

- We need backup now!

[g*nf*re]

- [roaring]

[all groaning]

- Hold them off!
- I'm trying!

- What the hell's going on?

I thought the machine lifeforms
were our only enemies!

[all screaming]

- Can anyone hear me?

This is the resistance camp.

A virus manifested within
the camp.

We're holding out for now
but we won't last long.

We need backup now!

Can anyone hear me?

This is the resistance camp.

[booming]

[rapid g*nf*re]

- [screams]

I can't take this!
- Calm down!

I'm sure someone will come.

I need to have
the signal increased.

- This is the limit.
- [screaming]

- This is the resistance camp.

- [screaming]

- Put all the kids in
the cargo container

until things settle.
- Huh.

all: Roger that, ma'am.

- This was...
- Are you listening over there?

- I am!

Here. Don't lose this.

- Thank you very much.

- [groans]

Here I am helping out
a machine lifeform.

Good grief.

- It's--it's broken.

I'm terrified.

- Bolstering the camp's defense
is our top priority.

The machine lifeform structure
called the Tower

is under investigation,

and communication with YoRHa
has been severed.

We must remember the tactics
we used to fight

with in the beginning.

I'm counting on all of you guys.

- Miss Lily!
- [gasps]

- We've successfully
escorted all

the machine lifeforms children
to the warehouse.

- Thank you.
- But, man,

they definitely didn't make
it easy for us.

- They kept tugging on our
shirts saying they were scared.

It's odd to see machine
lifeforms acting

like they're kids.

- I thought they were gonna tear
my arms straight off.

- Well, thank you guys
for all your help.

You'll get extra rations
of oil later.

both: Whoo!
- All right!

- Follow through
with your defense duties.

[gasps]
both: Huh?

- Hey, are you okay?

[groaning]

[both groaning]

[all groaning]
- Are you all right?

What's wrong?

[all groaning]

They're all...

[static hissing]

- Emergency! There's a virus
going around the camp!

[groaning]
[g*nshots]

- Infection!

- [snarling]

- [roaring]

- They've already started
to rampage!

- Stand back!
I'll take care of them!

This is the only solution
we have now.

[g*nsh*t]
- [shouts]

[snarls]
- Quick, fire!

- [screaming]

- [grunts]

[all gasping]

- Get off of her before--

- [snarls]

- [grunts]

[g*nsh*t]

[grunts]

Leader, it has been an honor
to serve you.

Thanks for everything.

[g*nsh*t]
[grunts]

- [gasps]

What can we do against
a virus this infectious?

- [groans]
- [gasps]

- [gasping]

[groaning]

Miss Lily.
[groans]

- [gasps]

[both groaning]

- [gasps]

- Out of the way!
- [gasps]

- Stand back from the wall,
everyone!

[all shouting]

[grunts]
- Jackass!

- Jackass has returned.

I'm awaiting your orders.

- [coughing]

Would it k*ll ya
to drive normally for once?

- Heh, I'm shocked we made
it here in one piece!

- Weapons and supply trader.
You're all right.

- It's gonna take more than
an infection

to stop us, Miss Lily.
- Quick! Treat the infected!

[both grunting]

- Get a grip.

- Sorry.

- The infection depth
is still shallow.

- Well, that's a huge relief.
- Appreciate it.

- I rushed over when I heard you
on the radio.

What the hell happened here
to cause this?

- The infection,
it completely blindsided us.

Its speed is unlike any virus
we've ever encountered before.

It spread all over the camp.

What about our other allies?

Where are they?

- Pretty sure
the only ones alive

are the ones you see here.

- [gasps]

Oh, I see.

Have you treated those outside?

- I'm afraid there's too many.

And the infection
depth's already...

- So, what caused it?

- Machine lifeforms.
- Huh?

- From Pascal's village.

The children brought
the virus into our encampment.

- You're kidding.

- It's my fault.

I sheltered them.

- Understood.
- [gasps]

- Then the question is,
what do we do from here?

- You're not mad?
- Come on!

This is easy peasy compared
to how the supply trader

destroyed half
the camp 100 years ago.

- It's not my fault the weapons
you decided to stock up with

were expl*sive!

- Everything I get from accord
is safe and secure.

- Who the heck is afford?

- Listen to me.
Use that truck to escape.

Count on me for backup.

- Back us up?

Why don't you just come along
with us?

- He's right about that.

Why would you stay back
by yourself?

- Calm down.
There's plenty of damn room.

[exhales]

[rapid g*nf*re]

We're havin' a conversation!

So give us some peace and quiet!

[booming]
[coughing]

So, tell me why you
don't wanna come with us.

- I really don't have
any other choice.

- Come on.

You know I'll just blow up

anything that gets in our way.

- [exhales]

If we let anyone that's infected
outside of this camp,

it means the end
for all androids.

Plus, even though they're
practically zombies now...

They're still my subordinates
to take care of.

That's my duty as a leader.

And I will fulfill it.

- Leader.
- Hmm?

You guys.

- We're staying, too.

- Allow us to stick around

for the final moments
of our friends.

- I mean, we gotta look
good once in a while.

- Once in a while.

- [gasps]
- Jeez.

Just how dumb are all
of you guys, huh?

- Please, like you're
any smarter.

- Shut up!

[all laughing]

- [chuckles]

- Leader, we are awaiting
your orders.

- [gasps]

[inhales]

Our clean-up operation against

the infected starts now.

Listen up.

None of them can escape
the camp.

So put them out of their misery!

all: Roger that!

You two.
both: Yes?

You're to leave
this place immediately.

- [gasps]
What?

- We wanna stay and fight, too.

- No.
- [gasps]

But why?

- You're too valuable.

Your duty's to save all
the surviving androids.

- But--
- No buts.

If something were
to happen to you,

who would tend
to everyone's wounds?

- Good point.
- [exhales]

- Devola, Popola.

Thank you for all
of your service.

- I've been under your care
for quite a while now, too.

Thanks for all the help.
- Thank you.

- We appreciate all you've done.

- You've done a great job.
- That's for sure.

- We're much obliged.

[both gasping]
- You have my thanks.

- But all we did was--

[both gasping]
[booming]

- It sounds like they hit
the ammunition depot.

That means time's up, everybody.

I hope you're ready
'cause we're about to go out

with one hell of a bang.

- [gasps]

Yeah.

[engine revving]

[glass shattering]

[both groaning]

[tires squealing]

[all grunting]
- To think our final enemy

is something other
than machine lifeforms.

[all grunting]
How cruel,

but that's how life is.

Right, Captain Rose?

If you are still alive and have
the will to fight

to the very end,

then follow me into battle!

[birds chirping]
- [breathing erratically]

Huh?

Damn. How am I gonna--

[gasps]

- Congratulations making it all
the way here.

And now a question for you.

What is something that everyone
always encounters?

A something that you can never--
[sword clangs]

[groans]

Witness for yourself.

Co--correct...

- I've had enough
of your nonsense.

- Alert.

Confirmed descent of a structure
from the sky.

[rumbling]

- [gasping]

[gasps]

This is...

- The remains
of a YoRHa flight unit.

Report.

ID of YoRHa unit 2B confirmed
within the craft.

- 2B's flight unit.

[gasps]

- These letters spell out
the words, "God box."

- God. A mere machine dares
to speak of that name.

[buzzing]
[gasps]

[gasps]

How repulsive.

[grunts]
- This is YoRHa unit...

- 2B.

- Report.

Unsent message found within

memory sector of 2B flight unit.

- If someone hears
this recording,

I would like you to convey
a message.

Listen.

If by some miracle you ever coe
across YoRHa unit 9S...

Tell him I...

Sorry.
My message is this.



The time I spent with you
was special.

It was like memories
of pure light.

Thank you.

- [sniffles]

- Nines.

[static hissing]

- [gasps]

[shouts]

[hissing]

[shuddering]

Please.

I can't take it anymore.

- Confirmed loss
of consciousness.

Obtained new pass code titled,
"Memory of light."

- Pascal, hurry up, will ya?

- Understood.
Hold on tight, Miss A2!

- [gasps]

- [grunts]

Lily, are you all right?
What h--

- Stay!
[both gasping]

I'm infected.

- [gasps]

- Then we should treat it!

- That's no longer possible.

It's already too late.

- I don't get it!

What could have given you
the infection?

- [gasps]
The children.

- The children are the source
of it?

Wh--Where are they now?

- In a cargo container.

- Miss A2!
- Yeah.

- [winces]
- Lily!

- Stop!
- [gasps]

- Please.

Run before I lose control.

[shudders]

Hurry.

- Freesia.
- [gasps]

- That's the name Rose gave me
before meeting her bitter end.

- [gasps]

You know...

We really did become a family.

- Yeah.

- [grunts]

Thank you, Freesia.

- [crying]

[g*nsh*t echoes]

- [gasping]

[clanging]
Ah.

[whimpering]

Why?

Why did such a...

[shuddering]

[rattling]

- Uncle Pascal.
You're back.

- [gasps]
What did you...

- Sorry.
I was scared.

The music box that I had broke.

I was terrified that I
would die alone.

So I thought that if I ate
the others,

I could be together
with everyone forever.

My family, my friends.

Forever inside me.

- It's my fault.

I'm the one who taught them
what fear is.

[melancholy music]

- Did you fix the music box
for me?

- Yep.
It's working fine now.

It just had to be wound
up again, that's all.

It's gonna be all right.

No need to be scared.

- Can the others be fixed, too?

[grunts]
- Of course they can.

Once everyone is fixed up,

you'll be able
to play together again.

I'm terribly sorry, Miss A2.
[steam whistling]

But I have to entrust you with
the rest.
