Reghi.
I know, darn it!
I'll get out of range.
Our job is to lure the enemy away.
We'll win if they succeed inside!
Rei?!
How dare you pretend to be Kuma-chan!
Your target is in this hangar.
Before breaking the Expedition Ship, you have to slash us three first.
I'll use some Idras to help.
Manual mode, on!
(Take it)
We are dreamers
So it's the trigger
It's up to you
On the other end is Dawn Dawn Dawn
Like a meteor
Like a meadow
It's an inevitable force
A once-in-a-lifetime meeting
The soft, precious gem
Shined strongly into our eyes
We have yet to see tomorrow's light
We'll feel discouraged at times
But let's break free from this labyrinth
We won't stop
My heart has arrived and it's pumping hard
Wow wow oh
Let's protect the future together
Wow wow oh (Take it)
Fighter, let's head to the other side
Try, it's possible if we're together
Higher, let's fly forward
Before I lose sight of it one day
Before I end up losing you
We are dreamers So it's the trigger
It's up to you
On the other end is Dawn Dawn Dawn
We are believers So it's the trigger
Come on, let's go
On the other end is Dawn Dawn Dawn
Battle
Skanda.
A high-speed cut!
I can't move.
Compared to the new model from before, it lacks power.
I'll immobilize it!
It's over!
Kitora and Kuroe have taken down the Trion Soldier's ace.
That's our A-Rank right there. Nice and smooth.
It's not over yet.
Huh?
The color shifted.
There's a new "fast one."
There's a new enemy ace.
Marking it on the radar.
Kitora, Kuroe. We need you to handle it.
Kitora here. Roger!
Kuroe here. Roger!
Huh? I've been found already?
How did they notice?
I can't work unless I shake them off.
A wire gun and high-speed cut, huh?
I don't understand.
If they have more aces, why only use two at a time?
Maybe they can't activate any more at once.
They may only have two enhancement Triggers.
Or perhaps two operators are controlling them.
I see.
I bet they're not controlled. The aces have the same color.
One guy can't move two at once.
Stop trying, it won't work.
The enemy's high-speed cut is impossibly fast for a Trion body.
Her mind shouldn't be able to keep up with that speed.
Is she programming her movements before attacking?
If that's the case...
Skanda!
Darn it!
Futaba-chan!
All I have to do...
is leave a sword in her path.
Side Effect: Absolute Parallel Simultaneous Cerebration
Kuroe's badly wounded!
She can still move, but...
Kuroe's been hit!
The enemy has found a countermeasure.
As Ninomiya said, one agent down could change our odds of winning.
Shouldn't Director Shinoda join the battle now?!
Do remain calm.
Huh?
As far as I can tell,
we may be outnumbered, but our tactics are much more solid.
There's no need for me to go.
The field agents will complete the mission.
My left arm and leg were hit.
But I can still move if I use Skanda.
No, Futaba-chan.
Calm down.
I'm fine. I won't fail next time.
You didn't do anything wrong.
They figured you out.
The enemy's strong. Even if we beat one, another appears.
We'll lose if we fight recklessly.
Kako-san's group and their firefight is the key.
Our role is to suppress this pesky guy.
Sasamori senpai is doing the same.
I'm counting on you.
We'll fulfill our role.
I need your help, Futaba-chan.
Got it.
Stay sharp, Kuma-chan.
We don't know her abilities.
The dogs must be her only defense.
Right.
Without her dogs, we can beat her.
I'm running out of Dogs. I can't keep this up forever.
The mission should be over soon.
I guess I can use them all up.
Selvitora.
She multiplied?
Clones?
Only one of them is attacking.
The others slipping through are fake!
Sayoko, which is the real one?
There are too many!
Analysis can't keep up!
Viper!
One of them is real.
But with this many...
I want to catch her, but she's keeping her distance.
Fall back to the hallway!
Let's fight in the hall!
Got it!
I won't let you.
She's trying to drain my Trion?!
Kuma-chan!
I can't find the real one... This isn't good.
A shadow?
Rei! Look up!
Are those the duplicate Triggers?
Did she set them up in the smoke?
Viper!
They noticed already.
Before all the fakes vanish...
I'll finish them!
Just a few more!
They're all moving similarly...
But only one is real!
The Trigger is reflecting her movement to create the dummies.
Only one of the four left is real.
The others are dummies!
She originally had a mark on her left chest.
The real one...
is second from the right!
It's the far right.
How did she know?!
Here's payback for Kuma-chan’s injuries.
Now I see.
Real body: left and right switched
She used the transformation Trigger and flipped her real body's image.
Fake: looks real
You can't rely only on your eyes.
Fake: left and right switched
Her footsteps gave her away.
Thank you, Kikuchihara-kun.
The Director ordered us to come.
Sorry we were late.
But apparently, you didn't need our help.
Hey, my ears helped.
We'll take the intruder into custody.
Thanks.
I'm on the verge of a Bailout.
Looks like I stopped four of them.
I guess that isn't so bad.
Wen was defeated...
Looks like Meeden is just as tough as I expected.
Whoa!
I can't grip my spear!
And my foot is slippery.
This is worse than it looks.
His Trigger forces a disadvantageous Trion effect, like the Lead Bullet.
I can't get behind him. He seems focused on defense.
Is he buying time?
Maybe he wants to counterattack.
Anyways, we just have to avoid the liquid shield.
Okay.
Fighting against an untouchable enemy...
is nothing new to me!
Kogetsu: Whirlwind!
They know Noikokyra's weakness is non-Trion attacks.
I can't stay inside.
Now, I need some time to set up a counterattack.
There's one thing
I need to ask you.
Was it your nation that invaded this world
and slaughtered civilians four and a half years ago?
Or was it another nation you know of?
That is...
He left some of the slime in the building!
I don't have to answer that question.
But let me warn you.
It's not wise to chat while fighting.
"While fighting?"
Don't be stupid.
The moment you moved up here,
you were done for.
Nice hit. Well done.
Jin-kun.
You sure know how to use people.
That was the remote slash that Afto reported to us.
But from that far?
It's a Black Trigger.
He stalled me by talking
so the Black Trigger can aim.
They got me.
Target secured. We are taking him to HQ.
I have a lot of questions to ask you.
Sorry, this is all I can do for you guys.
The battle will be over in a few minutes.
Tell that to everyone, Ren-san.
Understood.
Looks like Osamu's team can proceed with the Rank Wars.
Good.
Even a single point makes all the difference.
A canceled match would've made catching up more difficult.
But if our ship gets destroyed,
that'd be a whole new problem.
It'll be alright.
If those four can't beat them, no one can.
I guess you're right.
Let's focus on our job here.
Yes.
Reiji! Kyosuke!
The battle's almost over!
We're at the last stage. Go all out!
Copy that.
Full Arms on.
Geist on.
Gunner Shift.
Starting countdown.
216 seconds until Bailout.
What the...
We're getting pushed back!
Whoa! They're mowing the Trion Soldiers down!
Way to go, Tamakoma-1!
Tamakoma's secret weapons are powerful, but they guzzle Trion.
When they run out of ammo, back them up.
Roger that.
They're attacking with full power. They chose to use up their Trion.
Deploy the Dogs at the rear to...
That won't work!
Our lines have been broken!
The dogs will just get wiped out.
Then retreat the Trion Soldiers.
They saw through us?!
Curse you, Meeden! You jerks!
If that's the case, I'll handle this myself!
What?
The enemy's moving?
Where are you going? That's their residential area.
Yeah, that's where I'm heading!
We were ordered not to target the city...
I know! I'm only pretending to target the city!
If the Dogs spread out to the city,
Meeden will deploy their forces over here.
I'll scatter their forces and crush them!
They're attacking the city now?
Maybe they want us to split up?
At the large-scale invasion, the enemy sent Trion Soldiers into the city.
Are they doing it again?
Jin's foresight said the city won't be damaged.
If they were going to attack the city, Jin would inform us.
So they're just bluffing to lure us in?
Let's ignore them.
If the enemy really targets the city,
I can warp you guys there in advance.
You're pretty handy, old man!
That means our job now...
is to wipe out these guys here.
Why?!
No one's pursuing me!
Are they saying they're not scared of me?!
Captain. The traps are Triggers that work like warps.
Be careful.
Got it.
This is a better distance.
Kogetsu...
There are no warps in the air.
Kogetsu: Whirlwind.
Thruster
on!
Meteor!
It's rock-solid.
I'm losing confidence.
It sucks, but crushing him head-on seems difficult.
The ax user is fast, has a powerful blow,
and even uses explosives.
Her role is to disrupt our focus.
The shield user precisely blocks us from the target.
And attacks if he's in position.
His sword skill is the biggest obstacle to destroying the target.
The beard guy assists, making their attacks flawless.
He controls the battle but also throws a fatal blow with his extending cut.
The young double-sword user is holding off Rata all by himself.
His vanishing Trigger is a pain.
The others might use it too.
The cannon is recharged.
Where should I use this shot?
I can't waste more time.
They wouldn't want to fight longer.
Looks like they lost two soldiers.
Bet they're going to speed things up.
If they're going to use the cannon,
I can pretty much predict their move.
Konami.
I need a favor.
Will they break our formation?
Or destroy the Expedition Ship?
If I can defeat this guy first,
four-on-one would be more favorable.
His moves are so calm for a child.
He knows what to do.
For now...
my priority is to keep this guy out of Tachikawa's fight.
The situation is a stalemate.
Taking out one of them will give us a huge advantage.
Enemies or the Expedition Ship...
Having two targets is a big advantage.
They must be aware of the cannon.
I'll end it with this move.
Now...
Let's do this.
If I can save someone with
The purpose I harbor in my heart
I'm willing to be a sacrifice
A selfishness born from weakness
Without noticing my many scabs
My days pass by as I waver
With my worn-out sneakers
I'm so weak on my own
Powerless and paralyzed
But in the darkness deprived of moonlight
You're there by my side
Laughing about silly things
Sharing reasons to feel pain
A light resonates between us
It's a time we'll never forget
I pray that I get stronger
To that finite starry sky
We're together hand in hand
One-third of ourselves
