Ki: OK, don't rush us.. Ka: Sorry to keep you waiting.. Yu: If we don't hurry, the place is going to close up. Ka: Nami, Lebia, Good night. Ki: We'll get going. Na: Oh, you're off already for today?.. Lucky you.. Le: Not yet, Nami. We still got works to do.. Yu: Then, see you later. Na: Good night. Ka: We've been getting just desk works for a while.. Having too much spare time is problem, too... Ki: Getting stiff shoulders and my body is getting numb.. Yu: But then, it's good thing that AMP doesn't have any work... Ka: That's true.... I wish things are like this forever, a peaceful town.... Mo: (But peace never lasts for a long time...) Ka: ?! Mo: (So, you are Katsumi Liqueur.) Ka: Who is it?! Yu: Oh Kiddy-san, there's a new place.. Ki: Oh yeah, hey, Katsumi. Mo: (You are the daughter of the grand wizard, Gigelph. ) Ka: (And who're you talking to me directly?!) Mo: (I have bothered to come from nemesis/the other world and see your power.) Ka: (WHAT?! Then, you're..!!) Ki: Hey, Katsumi, let's check out that place.. Katsumi?.. Yu: Katsumi-san, what're you doing, staring at a clown? Ki: hey!! Katsumi! What's going on?! Ka: Kiddy, get away from me... Ki: Huh? What? Ka: Hurry! Ki: What's the heck is going on?..... Le: ?! What's wrong, chief? Ra: (What's this feeling?... Who could spread around this much presence...) I'm leaving, Lebia, take care of the office! Le: Y..yes.... Ra: And call up Nami and have her stand by here!! Le: Yes! Ra: This luciferhawk seem to have confidence in himself... or else why should it spread around presence to maximum extent instead of killing it.... Could it be a trap.. but then, that's may be interesting, too... Mo: (What is wrong? Is that all the power you got? You are wasting you power in your blood.) Ki: Katsumi, what's with ya?! Yu: "weep!" What's wrong, Katsumi-san?!! Ka: (damn, it's not like that..) Mo: (Why don't you cast attack spell?!) Ka: (How can I?! I can't hurt other people!) Mo: (Alright, then) Ka: D..DON'T!!! Ki: What's that clown?.. Ka: sigh.. Mo: (You are too soft.) Ka: Kiddy, Yuki, hang onto me!! Hurry!!! Ka: w..wha... Mo: (Be grateful, lady. You could not use the spell because you did not want to hurt others, right? Now you can go ahead and use spells!) Ki: hey.... Ki: Yuki!! Ka: You... Mo: (Challenge me, Katsumi Liqueur!!) Ka: hm.. A being knows my name.. I must be getting famous.. Here I go!! (she's actually a bit happy...) "Heavenly atmosphere's.." Mo: (damn, spell of a thunder.. I must be underestimated..) Ka: Wha?! I haven't completed yet... Mo: (I never thought you would use such a low level spell. I was hoping if you could do... THIS MUCH!!!! Ka: k... wha!! Ki: Katsumi! Ma: (damn.. can not even put up shield right away... I did not think you would get direct hit of the prisoner spell..) Ki: H.... hey, Katsumi, are you OK?! Ka: I'm not OK... a bit.. He's a bit tougher than I thought... Kiddy, Yuki, you better get away right now.. Hurry! Ki: What're you talking about?! Ka: Get going!! You guys might get hurt along with me! Hurry, Kiddy. Yuki, go with Kiddy! Ki: But! Mo: (don't ignore me... Well, Katsumi?! Use your full power!!) Ka: WHAAAT?!! Mo: (Jihayubaku/ground wave free destruction!) Ka: You gotta be joking..... Ki: Katsumi... Ka: K.... Now it's my turn... "Those spirits of the flames that shines the earth and heaven!! Give me the sword of fire!!" Ra: Katsumi, don't!!! It's a trap, Katsumi!! Yu: "yeek!" Ki: ... Katsumi! It's over?.... Where's Katsumi?.. Ra: Is the luciferhawk destroyed?... ! Katsumi!!! Ki: ! Katsumi!! Ra: This's Rally, send medic right away! yeah, it is... Ki: Chief, Is Katsumi..? Ra: She's alright, perhaps.. Ki: Good.. Ra: But still... why did the being attack Katsumi?.... Mo: She went down with just that much attack.. Can she actually be the "key"?... !! My, that is very interesting person.. I will have to go to have a look at her once.. Ra: !!! I'm sure there was.. ?.. Ro: How's Katsumi?! Ra: Calm down, Roy.. She'll make it.. Ro: Oh.. then... : Chief Rally, we've done everything we can do.. It's just that she suffered major psychological damage.. It's all up to her now.. Ra: Alright. And when will she regain consciousness? : Perhaps today or tomorrow at the latest.. Ra: I see. Send all the medical records to my office. So, that's about it. Roy, do you want to stay with Katsumi? Ro: No, I'll get back to work. She really gets mad or worried when I skip work. Ra: I see. Ro: Once the work is over, I'll be with her all the time.. Ra: That'll be better.. Ro: Yes... Katsumi... : And from area B-24 to C-44 or Yotsuya to Ichigaya in old name is totally destroyed. The police has not made any clear statement regarding the incident, and this has caused uproar of criticism. Ki: Shit! Why can't they/police just say that's luciferhawk?! Le: Don't get so mad Kiddy. There's always side that blames on and being blamed on in this kind of case. Ki: But I can't take that!! Le: You're such an block head... Ki: Say that again?! Le: I'll tell you as much as you want, block head. Ki: You're always like that, Ms.Know-it-all!! Le: So? Ki: How can you stay calm like that?! Public is criticizing police and the police can't announce the truth. There's even movement within police to question the need for AMP!! Le: And don't you think there's something we have to do before we get mad? Ki: What can we do right now?! Nothing! You, or me or.. "slap!" Ki: Lebiaa! Le: Now now, be a good girl, and calm down. Ki: You!! Ki: "Oops." Le: Are you trying to kill me?! Ki: If you want me to. Na: W.. would you two cut it out?! Don you think you got time to fight like that, now that Katsumi-san is in serious trouble!!!?? Ra: damn.. Since when did this place become an elementary school?.. just when the renovation is done... Lebia, come to my office afterwards, and let's hear the explanation. Le: Y..yes.. Ki: B..but this's.. Ra: Kiddy! Isn't it the time for patrol? Ki: ! Yes!! Mo: I do not think there is need for that. Ka: So boring.. nothing to do.. but that's about it in the hospital.. I know it's still boring to watch TV, but.. Huh? I haven't programed the channel, yet.. ?! This's... "By the contract of blood, succeed me." Ka: (Shoot, it's mind control..) "By the contract of blood, succeed me." Ka: (How can it hack into TV circuit?.. who could it be?..) "By the contract of blood, succeed me." Ka: (Luciferhawk?!) "By the contract of blood, succeed me!!" Ka: Hi, Hueghy, how have you been? (She hid this riding suit just in case when she had to sneak out of the hospital.) Hu: The voice pattern check. Katsumi Liqueur recognized. Yes, I am fine. Ka: I'll borrow you for a bit. Hu: But my master is Lebia Mavelick.. Ka: Don't worry about Lebia. I told her about it.. The destination is.... Hu: Katsumi-san, your brain wave pattern is the same as that of during a sleep. Ka: Don't worry about it. Hu: But it is strange. Ka: Hueghy, I'll get mad if you keep on talking funny. Hu: I am sorry. Ka: That's better. Hu: pi.. Katusmi-san, you are currently supposed to be in the police hospital, but why are you.. !!! Ka: How long till the destination? Hu: F.f.fi.fi.five minutes!! Ka: Good boy. Ki: You're!! Mo: Besides those two, nice to meet you. What am I ranked in your classification? Medium class? or high class?. hhhh Na: How did it get into AMP directly?.. Ra: I can't belive this.. This place is protected by shields.. why?.. Mo: That is nothing. Humans always have so much confidence in what they do, don't they? You consider your shield to be perfect? It is as good as nothing!! Ra: What is the purpose of coming here? Mo: Purpose? Obviously, the termination of AMP, and to see what kind of character Rally Cheyenne is. Le: That's from Hueghy.. Somebody's using Hueghy?... Mo: Now, it is time for you to die!! "By the contract of blood, succeed me." Ka: H..huh?! what's the... Where am I?! Why am I dressed like this?! Wasn't I supposed to be in hospital?! Hu: Katsumi-san.. Ka: H.. Hueghy?.. Lebia's bike?... So, you're the one who took me here, aren't you?! Hu: But you threatened me to take you here.. Ka: huh?.. Hu: You must have been hypnotized by somebody... Gr: I have been waiting for you, Katsumi Liqueur. By the contract of blood, succeed me. My name is Sword Emperor Grospoliner Ka: What's the heck is this?... Gr: By the contract of blood, succeed me. Ka: Luciferhawk?! Gr: No, I am not. Ka: but your letter prints are the same as the beings... Gr: I am not luciferhawk. Now Katsumi Liqueur, put your blood on this monument. Ka: My blood?! Gr: That will serve as the contract of blood. I want you to release me from here, the daughter of my master. Ka: my master?.. daughter?.. dad? You mean my dad's your master?! Gr: Yes, my master Gigelph Liqueur! Ka: Tell me!! Tell me about dad!! I want to know about dad.. lots.. as much as possible... My dad wasn't alive by the time I was born.. the only way was what my mom told me.. I always wondered what kind of man my dad was, because the only time I met him was in conversation.... but now my father is involved deeply.. about a luciferhawks, about me.. about this world... I must've been waiting for this day.. Gr: So have I, Katsumi Liqueur. I have waited longed for today! For 22 years! You can succeed me when you mature and gain enough power to succeed me. I was waiting for the day fo you to succeed me in place of your father, Gigelph. Ka: Succeed you in place of my father?.. Gr: Yes, be my master, Katsumi liqueur! All you have to do is pour little of your blood into the cross below. If I recognize the blood, the contract is made. Ka: (but wait a minute.. Could it be that there's some really powerful luciferhawk that my father sealed into this tower.. and what if the key to release it was my blood.. could this be luciferhawk's trap?!) Gr: H..HAHAHAHAHA!!! Ka: What's so funny?! Gr: Oh sorry, no.. I just thought your suspicious character is just like your father.. Ka: Like my dad?.. Gr: Trust me, Katsumi Liqueur. I am not luciferhawk! Ka: Alright.. Mo: DIIIEEE!!!! Na: .. H.huh? Yu: Nothing happened?.... Mo: !! My magic was erased?.... Can not be.. is this the defence power of the place?... No, it is you Rally Cheyenne!! Ra: If so, your power will not work anymore! Yuki, Lebia, ready the graviton! :Yes! Ra: Fire!! Mo: It does not work on me!! ! Ra: You said you wanted to see me. I'll show you my power then.. Ka: W..what's the.. Gr: Stand back, Katsumi! Ka: That's.. what's the.. sword?.. huh?! Ka: What's the heck is this?... Gr: The contract is done. Now take me, Katsumi Liqueur, my master! Ka: Take you, but you probably weigh 300 Kg.. !! I don't belive this.. why is it so light?... Gr: It is no mystery. I have obtained your blood by the contract. I am now part of your body. When you move your body, you do not sense any weigh, right? It is the same reason as that. Let us get going, my master! Ka: Go where?... Gr: You do not feel strong wave from your police station? Ka: !! Hueghy!! Gr: damn.... Ka: Why were you sealed there?.. Gr: That tower was a memorial tower to commemorate the failure of a plan.. I was sealed by luciferhawk's men. Ka: hmmm Gr: I needed the same blood as the master's to break the seal. The blood of magic family.... Ka: Magic.. family?.. Gr: Katsumi, have you ever thought of what magic is? Ka: Magic?... Gr: Yes, Magic is.. to put it in a way the orderliness of the other dimension or world. A rule. When the rule or orderliness appears in another world, it works as strange power. Ka: So that's the magic. Gr: It was recent that the door connecting this world and nemesis almost opened. But it is not completely open. So when they have to come to this world, they must follow the rule of this world. Ka: !! So, that's why they have semi-humanoid forms.. Gr: That is right. Ka: Then, what about my or my father's magic?.. Gr: Luciferhawk's interference has not started just because the door almost opened. There must have been some luciferhawks that integrated with humans in ancient times. Ka: !!! Gr: So your magics are by the blood succession. Ka: Then there's luciferhawk's blood in me?! Gr: But humans trained themselves to improve their powers. The mixing of luciferhawks' blood was just an initiation. Ka: Kind of difficult feeling... Gr: By the way, we seem to be not heading to the station.. Ka: I've got little business to do at my home.. Mo: Alright then!! I can not tolerate this form!! I shall return to my true form! Ra: Everybody, down!! Ro: What's the.. Mo: Now let me see your power, Rally Cheyenne!! Ra: Ha! You're medium class after all. Mo: What?! Ka: Chief!! Sorry I'm late! This's Katsumi!! (Katsumi-san, are you sure you're allowed to drive a bike inside the police building?... And another thing, I know you want to express yourself as the main character, but is dressing up like that needed? DS) Le: So it was you who was riding around on Hueghy!! Ra: ! That sword is... Ka: You got bit attitude problem walking into somebody's office and mess it up!!! Begone with this swing of the sword!! Luciferhawk!! Mo: Fool!! Now see my true power!!! Mo: What?! Can not be!! I..is that Sword Emperor Grospoliner? Gr: Exactly. We meet again, Mouba Dudooz Badina! Mo: So you are released from there?! Then that is another matter! I can not fight evenly inside this "field!!" Let us change the stage then.. Ka: It disappeared?! Gr: It broke the "field" by the explosion and escaped! Ka: Shoot.. gr: Wait, Katsumi! Change your clothes. If you play too much, it will cost your life. Ka: Alright.. nosy.. Ra: Katsumi. Ka: Yes. Ra: It must be still somewhere in the city. Get it before it does any damage. Ka: Yes! Yu: Chief, I got a bad feeling! I can't see the vision of here tomorrow! Ra: What? Yu: It'd be better if you evacuate the entire staff now.. Ra: Alright, send message to evacuate this station and the resident in the vicinity! : Yes!! Mo: So you have come, Katsumi Liqueur. I will turn you and Sword Emperor Grospoliner into nothing. Ka: I sure am glad you chose the top of a building for battle ground. Mo: Do not misunderstand me! I did not want anybody to interfere me! Ka: Now, I'll return the "favor" to you!! Gr: I remember, Modiena, when I crossed the blade before.. Mo: Yes, it has been awhile, Grospoliner! But tonight is the last time!! Too bad!! Gr: Katsumi, do not get hasty! You can not possibly win just by bare beginner swordsmanship! Ka: I know! So what am I supposed to do?! De: So you have not fully mastered how to use Grospoliner! Gr: Katsumi!! Do not try to fight just by sword! Utilize the power of planetary souls of the solar system as I told you before!! Ka: But.. Mo: Starting a lecture now?! Too late!! Gr: If you do not use me/sword and magic in conjunction, you can not win! Ka: I know that! Mo: ch.. where did they go?... Gr: Remember what I told you, Katsumi?! Ka: Yeah.. Ka: Planetary souls? Gr: That is right. They are the spirits that dwell in 13 stellar bodies of the solar system. You know that all the matters that exits on Earth posses spirits. Even the Earth itself has one, a planetary soul that is incomparably powerful and influential than any spirits on Earth.. Your magic now is just by borrowing the powers of the matters on Earth. Ka: That's not good enough? Gr: No! You can not defeat the beings with that mare power! Well, it is one of my job entrusted by your father to teach you that. Ka: My father? Gr: The powers of the planetary souls depend delicately on the position of the planet itself. So you must always know the precise position of each planets. Ka: How?! Gr: Anyway, I will tell you the spell to summon each spirits. First, Sol.. Gr: Let's go, Katsumi! Ka: Yeah! Mo: Come out of there, Katsumi Liqueur! Is the lecture over? Here I go! Ka: Anytime you want! "Show the name of holy spirits of Sol and Mars, Soral and Baltzabel! Give the power of gold and steel to my sword! I am under Gaea's feet!!" Mo: What?! Ka: Alright!! Mo: This power! She is the same level as the wizard Gigelph Liqueur!! Ka: Now for the finish!! Mo: Ha! See if you can!! : What's the hell is going on?... : Watch out!! Mo: I am going to lose? Me? even Gigelph barely managed into tie.. Gr: Katsumi, finish him! Ka: Yeah! "Holiest spirit of the holy spirits of heaven, Shad Balshmos Haw! Shine my silver sword with the light to Thor and fulfil the obligation towards Selene!!" Mo: .... I will kill you even if I have to die on your swords!! Gr: T..they erased the magic! : That's our lady Katsumi. Blood of Liqueur family isn't for nothing. And you thought of killing her.. She' the living "key" to open the door between this world and the nemesis completely. Ka: What?! Mo: G.. Y..oou are.... : Begone, lowly beast. To win against human requires somebody who knows human strong points and weakness. Just as you'd use their power to fight against the luciferhawks. Ka: Who.. who are you?! : Humans, on luciferhawk's side. Ka: !! : don't be surprised.. We aren't that rare.. Ka: ?! : Anyway, we lost one of us. I want you to lose the equivalent. Ka: The station?! : Don't worry. Nobody is in there. We better get going. And next time we meet, we'll come to get you. Oh and you seem to have a lover, but he stands in our way. Ka: What?! Ro: Achooo! Gr: It has been a while, little Rally. Ra: Would you please stop that "little"? Gr: But the last time I saw you was when you were 2 or 3, was it?.. But I am surprised that you have not told her about that.. Ra: I thought it was still too early for her.. There're some more important things.. Gr: Right... Ro: And what did you do with the sword? Ka: I've decided to leave it with Chief Rally. Ro: hmmm... : but he stands in our way. Ro: h..hey, what is it? Ka: hehe, nothing.. Ro: Weird. Ka: Did you know that I'm a key? Ro: What's that?.... "About Sword Emperor Grospoliner During the serialization, it was nameless sword, but upon publishing this book, I named it so. When it was on model magazines it often accompanied by caption "evil sword" which made me think "hmmmmmmm." It's just that Moriki-san wrote that down on the setting design.. Grospoliner acts as Katsumi's adviser. It knows quite a bit about the luciferhawk, since it has fought against the beings with the last master, Gigelph. At any rate, Katsumi now has really reliable alliance. But still, Moriki-san's design is great, and really troublesome for drawer... It is, but it's worth that trouble. I'll probably have to ask Moriki-san for help in future war against the beings.. Please, Moriki-san.. I used the garage kit, "Grospoliner" from Fukaya-Wave, as a 3-D reference. It is well made. If you're interested, why don't build it?.. Fukaya-sama, WAVE-sama Thanks.." Chapter 06 "Yuki Saiko" : There you go, Yuki-chan, say aaah. What's wrong? Yu: I don't wanna take medicines. : But all your friends are taking them Yu: NO, I DON'T WANT TO!! : damn.. Ta: What's wrong? : Oh sensei, B-007, I mean Yuki-chan is.. Ta: Hmm. why don't you want to take medicines, Yuki-chan? You won't grow up if you don't take them. Everybody is taking them without saying no. Yu: Everybody.. Ta: Yes, everybody.. Yu: No! I don't want to!! Ta: But you won't get strong if you don't take them... : 3 o'clock to the right. I cornered it that way!! : Low ranking! B-31 level! It'll be there in 45 seconds! : Yuki, don't be nervous! A graviton will do the job! Yu:..y..yeah... !! Ka: baka! Yu: Ka.. Katsumi-san! : Did you get it? Reaction disappeared. Yuki?.. Ka: ... sorry, Yuki.. Let's go.. Yu: Y..yes.. (no..) Ka: Better take shower quickly.. Yu: (I'm not good enough.. I'm burden to everybody..) Ka:.. It's sweet! Ki: Of course it's sweet, it's cake. (She's drinking roasted tea, her favorite tea) Ka: But isn't this super sweet?.. Oh.. I can't eat sweet things.. Ki: And can't eat hot things either. Ka: So? you roasted tea wench Ki: What? you sweaty curry thing... Na: Speaking of cake, Yuki-chan's cafe doesn't have any cakes, does it? Ki: That's cause she can't bake cakes. Na: Oh, but then all she has to do is to order in.. Ka: No no.. she's home-made only type... Ki: So, the only thing on the menu is coffee. Yu: I mean, wouldn't it be better if you can eat warm home-made food? Ka: Like that. I wonder when would foods join the menu.. Ki: Which means she isn't making too much money with the cafe.. Ka: But she's doing it as a hobby, right? Yu: phew.. .. th.... I GAINED 3 KILO???!!!!! ( What should I do?.. What should I do?.. I..It's the diet time!! I mustn't eat anything... especially the high calory foods..) Ka: Diet?.. And you haven't eaten anything but water and apples for the last three days? Yu: yeah.. What is it?! Le: I mean, all you need is a capsule and you can control weigh at will. Yu: Capsule... Ki: If you don't like that, take fats out with injection.. Yu: NO!! ! ..? Ki: Yuki?... What's wrong, Yuki?! "grrr.." Ka: .. er.. Yuki.. Yu: I hate you, Katsumi-san, Kiddy-san, Lebia-san, all of you!! Ka: That was me.. I didn't eat a thing since this morning, so.. ! Yuki.. Ki: It's your fault, Katsumi.. Ka: Anyway, I wanna get out of here/temporally station. When will the new building be done? Ki: Don't change the topic!!! Yu: Chief! Er.. Ra: Yuki? Yu: Am.. am I supposed be OK, the way I am right now?! I feel like I'm being the burden of everybody! Why did you wanted me in AMP?! If my presence is to just serve as a mascot.. I don't want be!! Ra: Yuki?.. Yuki!! Yu: (What am I in AMP? Am I being any use there?... Why did Chief Rally want me in AMP?.. Tell me somebody.. Am I just a mascot after all?.. So sad.. Katumi-san or Kiddy-san's got really strong power.. Lebia-san's so pretty and Nami-san, too.. and I.. Somebody help me.. but I'm getting hungry.. Huh ? this's.. This's my room.. hm.. I wanna grow up soon.. Then, maybe I can be like Katsumi-san.. or pretty like Lebia-san.. I wanna grow up.. ?!..) Ka: hahah!! Yuki, are you up? If you don't eat lot, you won't grow up! And you got a week off so, just relax and enjoy it. Yu: Katsumi-san.. Ka: hahah!! Yuki, are you up? If you don't eat lot, you won't grow up! And.. Yu: But I can't eat them right now. Yeah... But a week off.. one whole week, what should I do?... hmmm. ! Oh yeah! Hi: Wow! Yuki? Yuki, right?! Hey, it's been while! What's up? Yu: You know Hiroko, I got a week off, so I was wondering what I should do.. Hi: You must've made a big mess at work, right? Yu: No, I didn't!! Hi: Calm down. Anyway, where're you working, Yuki? Yu: Oh.. my work?.. I'm working at AM.. oh, Anapple! Anapple Japan! Hi: Wow, you mean that new cybernetics hardware company?.. I'm just ordinary stock brokerage company.. Yu: Say, can I go to your place? Hi: Sure. Oh then, let's call Doug and Annie over, too! Yu: Wow! Really?! Hi: Yeah, it's gonna be a little reunion.. Then, let's meet at 7 o'clock at Marui in the area F-25. Yu: OK! hh.. reunion of that place.... Yu: Shoot!! I'm late!! lock lock.. what time.. Holy!! Oh no!!! Yu: To area F-25, in front of Marui, hurry! : I can not exceed the speed limit. Would that be fine? Yu: I know that. I just wanted to know. : Yes.. : Excuse me, but it might be easier if you walk from here. Yu: Yew! Why does it have to rain for this kind of day! Great! I'm late for 15 minutes!! Yu: She's not around.. sniff... but no way Hiroko would leave just because I'm late for 15 minutes.. could she be still home?.. better check.. Hi: Hello, this's Suzuki. I'm out right now. Please leave you message on video. Go ahead. Yu: So, she's not home.. What happened to her?... An: Yuki! You're late! Yu: Oh Annie?! Lon..g time.. no.. see.... An: Oh what happened to you Yuki?

Did I pass out again? Annie?.. An: You're still slow, aren't you? It's this. Yu: But.. Annie.. why? An: Don't you get it? This is the reunion party. Ta: Like we used to do before. But this time, it's for Annie. An: You gonna die, Ms.defective product. Yu: Like before?.. But.. W.. Wait! Annie! What about everybody?! Hiroko and Doug? An: They died. For me. Yu: Can't be.. but.. no way.. Hiroko.. Doug.. they can't be.. no way.. Ki: It's so boring, recently.. Ka: Luciferhawks are behaving themselves.. Ki: HA! And once they appear you'd have hands full.. Ka: Who has handsful, did you say? Ki: You want me to tell you that? Na: Alright, you two, would you please cut out the comedy and clean up around you? Ka: Com.. Ki: -edy.... Na: Oh no matter how many times I clean up, you always make a mess.. ! Ki: Oh yeah? Ka: Is that all you got to say for the will? (The rest of the lines are off-screen, so I/DS am guessing Katsumi and Kiddy's line except for the last few.) Ki: You piss me off so much!! Ka: I'll strip you down to skin to fix that misophobia!! Na: Yeeek!! No!! Ka: STAY STILL!! Na: Please cut it out!! What're you doing?!! Ka: Shuddup!! Na: DON'T!! Ki: I'll make sure you won't hold a bloom ever again! Na: Evil spirit, begone!

What's that all about?... Professor? Ta: I didn't do anything. An: Could she have that much power?.. no way! Yu: I can't walk anymore... If I knew this was coming, I should've eaten properly... : Yuki! Yu: Again!.. What's that room?... there's no other door... !! This's.. this's.. could this be the geo-drive system?.. So that's why there's only one door.. An: That's right, Yuki. It's been while, hasn't it? Yu: Annie?! An: But this did become more compact than before.. Yu: Annie, did you.. An: Hiroko and Annie's factors are implanted into me. Next, it's your turn, Yuki. Yu: Annie!! How can you do this?! An: Do this?.. don't make me laugh.. We used to do this all the time before, in the government facility. And we're the product of that, aren't we? Yu: Don't!! Annie! An: Yuki!! Don't look away! don't turn away!! It's the truth, for us, created as the ylper weapon!! (ylper: comes from the ylem perception. the word ESP is obsolete word in this century.) Yu: No, Annie. I'm.. not ylper weapon.. I just got better intuition than normal.. An: Oh sure Yuki!! And isn't that better intuition implanted from other people's factor?! Yu: A..Annie An: And stop calling me Annie. Our names aren't for real.. It's the names the scientists made up. Yu: D.. don't.. An: Right, B-007? Yu: Don't.. cut it out please... An: Once upon a time, numbers of orphans were selected by computer and put into the YLEM Project. And there, we were given numbers depending on the sections and were implanted with each power's factors. And we were raised to be YLPER weapon, weren't we? Yu: Cut it out, Annie. so what about that? We were living happily now.. But you.. Le: hmmmm. Ki: Katsumi, what's Lebia doing?.. Ka: Don't know. Maybe she's hacking into some net and getting something?.. And she's gonna be happy imputing the data she stole into her mechs.. Ki: She probably might do that... Na: how can they play around like that?.. Le: Got works for you two! Yu: But why are you trying to destroy that?! An: That's just an illusion. No way the ylper weapons lead normal life. We are mutants.. Yu: !! Don't Annie!! Ta: What're you trying to do, Annie?! Stop that!! You want to destroy the geo-drive system?! An: Professor. I'll kill her. There's no need for her anymore. Ta:. A..alright.. An: I'll put you out of miserly soon.. : Yuki! Yu: again.. who's that?.. An: What?! No.. she doesn't have the power to.. who is it?... Could she be?! Yu: Hiroko?! : Yuki.. Yu: Hiroko.. it was you Hiroko.. You were calling me... An: Damn, she was supposed to be dead. Oh well that doesn't matter anymore.. Yu: ANNIE!!! An: Oh? You hate me for that? An: You'll die before you can think like that, B-007. Yu: a.. Ki: k.. Yuki, your diet is working alright. You're so light. Yu: Why are you here?.. Kiddy-san.. Ki: Dueghy, good tracing. Thanks to you, I managed to rescue Yuki. Du: Yes. Yu: Dueghy?.. Du: I am sorry Yuki-san. I have traced you for awhile. Yu: Why? Du: That is because.. An: Who are they?.. How are they related to Yuki?.. Du: We discovered that several children believed to be YLP have disappeared. Of course this case is not within the jurisdiction of AMP, but 10 days ago the suspect was pin pointed. Yu: And that's Professor Tajima? Du: Yes, but his whereabout was not known, even searching through every net work/cyber space available. During the search, your involvement surfaced and... Yu: Then, like I was a decoy?.. Is that why I got a week off?.. You used me!! So I am AMP's.. An: So, you're rescued by your friend?. You still can't do anything by yourself, don't you? Ki: Who the hell are you?! Yu: Annie.. An: Rescuing her from that situation.. and that police uniform.. you aren't ordinary people are you? Ki: What about it?! An: Nothing. Ki: Ch.. What's the.... Ta: Annie, it's soon .. The project will finish soon. This project, cancelled 10 years ago to create a perfect human weapon/ylper weapon, will complete soon. Good bye Yuki, Hiroko, Doug.. all those children who offered the factors to Annie. All of you will live within Annie as ylper weapon. Ka: You gotta be kidding! What do you think you're doing?! Ta: Who's that?! Ka: Police! You must be insane. Professor Tajima, you're under arrest. Ta: Insane? Yes, all scientists are insane. That's why we can devote ourselves completely into research. That research.. the result of the research is the proof of my life. Ka: But that doesn't mean you can sacrifice Yuki and other people! Ta: You know Yuki? Ka: More than know her. Yuki is our comrade in arms. Ta: Yuki.. in police?.. can't be.. Ka: Professor Tajima, your project is over. Give it up. Ta: Sure.. you may be right.. but the product of the research has completed already. Ka: That girl named Annie, or whatever.. Ta: That's right. I looked for the answer as a scientist in Annie. And Annie responded to me. Ka: At the cost of Yuki and other's lives?! Enough with this egoism!! Ta: Aren't all humans egoist in the end? I'm satisfied that I have created the proof that I lived. Ka: !! Stop!! Ta: Doug, Hiroko, I'll join you now. Good bye Yuki, Annie. Ka: Professor Tajima! ! You think dying solves everything?.. : Yuki, Annie, Hiroko, Doug.. let's sing together.. in the dream.... Ki: Shit! What's this?! An: Underground cables are getting sturdier nowadays, don't you think? Ki: YOU!! An: Why don't you watch from there how your friend dies? Ki: She's not just friend!! Yuki's my... Yu: Kiddy-san! Ki: Yuki?.. Yu: It's OK, Kiddy-san.. I'm AMP's luggage anyway.. Ki: Baka! What you talking about?!! Yu: Go ahead an kill me, Annie.. I want to meet Hiroko... there're so many hard things going on to live.... An: I see. Ki: Yuki, don't!! What do you think you're doing?! Yu: ..... !! An: Looks so great, so flashy.. Yu: Annie! Don't! They are innocent people!! An: That's none of my business. Yu: Annie!! : This is patrol ship/April B-311 An explosion in the area F-41, near 2-31-47. I repeat... (There're 12 sections to Tokyo's automatic self defence system, and each are assigned with month names. Celberus system in chapter 01 is a nickname and its real name is "March.) An: Yuki, the most unfortunate thing for you is that you couldn't predict this day. Yu: Annie.. Ki: Yuki! Run!! Don't get involved with her!! wha... !!!! Yu: Kiddy-san!! Annie!! Stop!! All you have to do is to kill me!! Don't hurt other people!! An: Shuddup!! An: Don't die yet, Yuki. My debut show has just began. I have to make it bigger extravaganza.. Even if Tokyo doesn't take me, other metro-nation will use me. what.. the headache again.. : Annie of ylper weapon. Surrender yourself. Professor Tajima is dead. Yu: Prof.Tajima is?! An: So what? An: Watch where you're, or it'll cost you a life. : What?!! Yu: Annie, Prof.Tajima is.. is dead.. Annie.. An: That has nothing to do with me!! He served his purpose!! I'm complete ylper weapon! An: Good bye Yuki.. What?! Can't be!! Yu: Falling Falling into the dream, into the night.. My dream in the dark.. An: Yuki, how can she?! She passed out.. Yu: My life/now inside the shadow of the night.. An: Stop that song!! Yu: Falling.. Falling.. An: Shit!! Why the hell?!! Somebody is covering around Yuki?! g.. Yu: Into the dream, An: Stop that! I'll blow the head directly! Yu: DON'T, ANNIEE!!! An: YUKIII!!! An: (Why did it came back to me directly.. that's Yuki's power.. Yuki.. now I know who protected you.. it's the factors of Doug and Hiroko incorporated into me.. Even by bending my power... Yuki..) Yu: Annie!! An: You were always important to all of us.... Yu: Don't talk too much!! An: We felt relieved just by being with Yuki.. felt so gentle.. that's why everybody protected you.. you sang the song we all sang together, so.. I can join the others, remembering that.. Sorry I had to put you through this.. Yuki.... Yu: Anniee!! (Annie, I'm the one who have to apologize.. I lied to everybody.. If I told her that I'm actually police officer.. this couldn't have.. but now I'm all alone..) Le: Yuki. Let's go home/AMP.. Yu: Lebia..-san.. Katsumi-san.. Kiddy-san.. Nami-san.. (no, I wasn't alone yet.. everybody... ) Ki: diet? You gained 4 kilo? Ka: Food's great, so.. I figured I should try out.. Na: Really, wow Katsumi-san.. (Did you actually have to check, Nami-chan?.... DS) Ka: Nami!!! Na: "yeek!!" Ki: Yuki, why don't you teach her how to do diet. Yu: Sure. "About Yuki Saiko" The name is obviously taken from Yuki Saito (singer idol). Pun with psychic and Saiko. It's fun making characters using one's favorite actors(singers), but it's also a problem doing it too much. When "Silent.." began, she was 16, but now (on the serialization) is already 18. Time goes by so fast... Yuki part. For the first while I was thinking of comedy-ish one revolving around diet, but during the discussion of the naming (manga equivalent of scenario layout), the editor asked "It's not actually go on like this right?" with smiling face, so I ended up answering " Oh? Of course not! hahaha!" So it turned into more serious one. Actually the story went like when she starved to extreme, her power activates, but maybe it was good thing I didn't do it... Anyway, Ohkuma-kun, who drops by for assistance, is Yuki fan, and was so bitter that he couldn't even do a flame of the Yuki part. CV (character voice) is Maya Okamoto-san. I was eying on her since she was doing Yukiko-san in "Magical Emi." Check out "Weekend Theater," too! During CV pole, Yuki competed for the first place with Narimasa-san of Nami. " Chapter 07 "Daily Life -or quieter days" "So as usual,it's the members of AMP out to protect the world..." Ra: Lebia, do you think you necessarily have to go that far? Le: Chief!! I consider this to be a problem with grave seriousness! It may affect the morale of AMP, too!! Ra: Alright, if you insist. You may. Le: Thank you ma'am! Wait and see! I'll succeed for sure! Then excuse me! Ra: But can she actually make Nami wear the uniform?.... Le: So, I want you to try out your methods. Any questions? Ki: It's not exactly a question but don't you think Nami is alright the way she is. Ka: Really. I mean the way she dresses doesn't affect her work. Yu: Really, Lebia-san! Le: Shut up! If any of you succeed in making Nami wear the uniform, Chief Rally promised you to buy a condo in the water front. How does that sound to you? Ki: Alright!! I'll go for it! Ka: Taking off clothes is my speciality! (what do you mean?..... DS) Yu: Better do my best! Le: (Just kidding....) Na: Good morning! : (There she is!) Na: ?.. what's wrong, everybody?.. you look all scary.. Ki: Nothing, morning Nami. Na: Oh, sure.. Ki: (sorry, Nami, when I get the condo, you'll be the first one to be there!) Na: "yeek!" Ki: Oops, sorry, Nami. Why don't you change to this uniform? Ka: (Making her wear the uniform by force.. scary...) Na: It's OK, Kiddy-san.. I got lots of spares. Ki: (shoot. we're talking about hyper-misophbia Nami. She should have at least twenty or thirty spares..) Yu: Nami-san, watch out!! Na: Oh?.. Yu: Oh, so sorry, Nami-san. I forgot I put ink pot there. Please use this uniform. oh all the spare ones are black, too! (When did she put the ink there?.. and how did the ink fell over?.. did Yuki finally developed telekinesis?.. Oh hell, long before that, does ink pot that huge actually exist, now or in future?... DS) Na "She can't even speak with shock..." Ki&Ka: (Holy smokes....) Na: Don't worry about it, Yuki-chan.. I got lots more spares. See! I've got them behind chairs, ceiling, and even in the floor! Yu: (She won....) Na: (I wonder what's with everybody.. they're acting funny.. What's that?.. Katsumi-san!) Ka: Nami... Na: Wha.. what is it, Katsumi-san? Ka: You know, Nami.. Na: w..Katsumi-san, what're you tr.. Ka: I want you to do me a favor.. Na: No.. don't.. Ka: Really big favor.. Na: A.. aaa... Ka: I want you to wear the AMP uniform, just even for once. Na: !! Ka: N..Nami! Where did you get that thing from?! Could it be that you're... Na: Don't ask, Katsumi-san! It's a joke! Well, let's hear what's going on!! Na: I heard everything, Lebia-san. Le: Come on Nami-chan. Don't make face like that.. You're ruining your cute face... Na: Punishment!! Le: Aaaarrggh!! My disks!! Nami, I'm sorry!! I won't ever do this again, so please gimme back my disks!!! Na: phew.. "But Nami's revenge wasn't over yet." Na: For Katsumi-san, this red pepper rice cracker I bought at Asakusa.. (How hot the cracker is?.. It was strong enough to make my aunt's dog hick-up for couple of minutes when I gave her a chunk. I wasn't too affected, but my uncle and aunt did admit it was rather hot.. DS) Na: Katsumi-san, would you like a rice cracker? Ka: Sure, I was feeling like eating something.. wow.. red cracker? kind of rare.. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Na: Next, it's Kiddy-san's turn. (Besides the fact that there probably weren't enough space to fit it in, I think the major reason, Nami's revenge part three to Kiddy and part four to Yuki-chan weren't written is that Asamiya-san/the artist probably couldn't come up with the idea of the revenge.. DS) Chapter 08 "Lebia Mavelick" pipipipipi!! Lu: Good morning. Le: hm.. Lu: It is 8 o'clock 24 seconds, right now. good morning. Le: Alright. I'll get up...Luy.. phew.. but it's kind of hot.. what's this all about? Lu: Current temperature 32 degree. Humidity is.. Le: Luy, I'm asking you why it's this hot. Has ESS (environment sensor system) gone nuts? Lu: Yes. For the reason, please see to your right. Le: To my right?..?? What?!! Ka: Oh.. Le: What're you guys doing here?!!! Yu: Oh Lebia-san, good morning. (Is it just me or does Yuki-chan does look like she's still 13 years old?.. DS) Ki: What are we doing? It's obvious, right? Na: I told you we shouldn't. (But she also changed to swimming suit, too..) Le: W..why?.... : 'Cause it's summer! Le: Sure, it's summer in calender, but does that mean you guys can come into somebody's house, raise the room temperature and swim in the pool? How did you get in here in the first place?.... "Tadah!" Le: Dueghy?!.... Du: I am sorry... Ka: We asked Dueghy to tell the monolith inside to open the door. Besides you're the only one with pool at home. Le: Katsumi, how many times do I have tell you the name. That's Luy! LUY!! He's not monolith!! Ka: But the shape.. Lu: ...... Ki: And the size and color.. Yu: It looks like nothing but a monolith... Le: The three great AI that I, Lebia Mavelick created, Hueghy, Dueghy and the last is this hyper optical computer Luy, but nobody remembers his name.. Ki: Nami, why aren't you swimming? Na: I'm er.. heheh.. Ki: Didn't we come here to swim?! Yu: Oh yeah, can Nami-san.. Na: I can't swim!! Help! Ka: It's the best opportunity, isn't it? Ki: I'll teach ya. Na: Nooo!! Ki: Don't cry, Nami. I'm sorry. Na: I like bathing, but I can't swim at all. Ka: Lebia, what're you standing there for? Le: Oh, I just thought we should have a day like this once in awhile.. Ka: Figured so. Ka: Huh?! What's this?! Le: What's wrong, Katsumi? Ka: Today's payday, remember? So I looked up on my account. There's an evidence that the money has been deposited but it's withdrawn three minutes afterwards!! Le: Could that mean... Le: hmm.. everybody's in the same situation.. the money is deposited and then withdrawn. Ki: Then you mean if we don't get that money back, our pay for the month is nil?!! Ka: Calm down, Kiddy. So we explain the situation and have it reissued. Ki: Oh yeah. Le: The sponsor running the police isn't that soft! Their policy is what's paid is paid. oh well. all it takes is me invading the sponsor's brain and re-write the account... I mean, today, money is just numbers on data.. Luy, any theory?! Lu: Please wait for 1.5 seconds. Done. Gathering from the evidences, it must be a work of somebody within the network. It is not a direct interference by forged chip, or hardware. There were 147 similar cases simultaneously occurring, suggesting the indiscriminately nature of the work. The location of the suspect can not be detected inside the network. I belive it is well camouflaged with highly advanced technique. It may start affecting the Tokyo as city itself. It may be that macro program. Le: But who would... Lu: I do not know at the moment. Ka: That's not the problem! What really matters is our salary! How are we going to survive for this month?! Le: Really, Katsumi. I can't get my money back I rend you last month, can I? Ka: That's.. er... Ki: Baka.. dug your own grave hole.. Le: But we can't leave it like this.. It has to do with our pay.. Yuki and Nami stand by at the station. Kiddy, tell about this to Chief Rally. Katsumi, come with me. Ka: Why me? Le: If you can't pay back the money, pay back by labor, Katsumi. Ka: T..this's the junk castle.. that deals the acids... Le: I know this place.. Ka: Know this place?.. how did she..? Le: Here we're.;. Ka: phew.... Je: What does a girl like you doing here? You want to be jacked/raped or what? Le: Then? Je: !!.. L.. Lebia Mavelick! Gl: That's right Jeff. Stand back, you big thing. Je: Old man Glover! Gl: Long time no see, Lebia. How long has it been since you came here last time.. Le: It must've been about two years Glover.. I need your help. Gl: You, Lebia, need this old man's help? Le: It's not laughing matter, Glover. Gl: Alright, come with me. Gl: let's here your story. Gl: Alright. Then use that. Le: Thank you, Glover. Je: So, she's Lebia Mavelick. Gl: That's right. She's existence far beyond your reach. Je: Lebia... Le: Now.. Ka: What're you trying to do, Lebia? Le: I'm going to search for the program behind this case. Luy, trace this. I got "dragon fly" from Glover. (dragon fly: a type of computer worm. worm: a virus program that can move inside the network by itself.) Ka: "dragon fly"?! Isn't that outlawed?! Le: It is, that's why I had to go there. Now go, dragon flies!! Katsumi, I can use magics, too. I'm talking about within the logic space, though.. Just like you cast spell to use magic, I use various formulas. I can do many things with the programs. Alchemy is one of them. And I can enter the logic space by reacting/shifting all my five senses. All those rink systems imbedded in my body allows me to do other people can't. !! Luy! Lu: Please do not worry, master Lebia. I have closed off the entire circuit with 0.02 mili seconds time lag. Le: So, one hardware died. Ka: What happened? Le: The enemy sent back the dragon flies I sent to it. But now I know approximately where it is.. Ka: But the enemy also.. Le: That, we couldn't help. I'll go the other side, Luy. Put up the guardian program, Luy. Lu: Yes, please be careful. Le: Katsumi, you know the name for the people who'd do this kind of thing? Ka: Don't know.. Le: Glover and others you saw there are one of my kind. We're called Bisioneyl/netrunner. and I'm special alpha class bisioneyl Lebia Mavelick. Ka: So, the program is hiding somewhere in the logic space?.. Le: If we don't deactivate the program now.. no way of telling what could happen.. (Lyric Lebia is singing is from "Cross Your Fingers" in "Silent Mobious CD Image Album -Caution." DS) Ka: Lebia!! You think you got time to sing?! Le: Katsumi, when I go to the logic space and find the program, I want you to destroy the location where the program exist in this world, following my direction. Ka: But how are you going to contact with me? Le: Don't worry, I'll show up on AMP-only circuit. And I'll let you use my spinner and Dueghy. Then, I better get going! Luy, start the shift! Lu: Yes. Le: Sight shift! Lu: Activating. Clear Le: Hearing shift! Lu: Activating. Clear. Le: Smell shift! Lu: Activating. Clear. Le: !! Luy, stop shift! Close the system!! Lu: Yes! Ka: What happened, Lebia?! Le: Luy!! What happened to the guardian program?! It was interfered by another program!! Lu: Guardian program is currently running. The program in question may have broken the guardian. Le: hmm.. kk Ka: Lebia? Le: Damn.. the enemy must be more powerful than I thought. We'll try again, Luy! Lu: Yes. Le: Cut off all lines of this room from outside net. Re-connect after the shift is complete. Lu: Yes, master Lebia. Le: Then, see you later, Katsumi. Ka: You look kind of happy, Lebia. Le: Sure! Ra: So, Lebia said so? Ki: Yes, Chief Rally! Ra: Alright, we'll check from here, too. And Yuki, monitor all the incidents on the network. Yu: Y.yes! Ra: Kiddy and Nami stand by here. Either Katsumi or Lebia will contact us. Wait till then. If the program is just designed to interfere with the bank account, it's cute enough.. but it may not be that easy.. But who'd use that kind of program.. what's the purpose?.. In the worst case, Tokyo, system as a whole might lost.. A weapon from another metro-nation?.. Le: touch shift. See you, Katsumi. Lu: Clear. System open. Ka: Lebia... "Narumi Heavy Industry" : ! : What's wrong? : Well.. er Data disappeared all of a sudden. I can't call up. : You're joking.. : I'm serious! Le: So far so good. Lu: How are you feeling, master Lebia? Le: Fine, I suppose, Luy. But I don't feel too comfortable looking like this... That's better... ?! What?! Data colony disappearing?! No, they're getting ingested! It's not by data, data, but it's eating up the net as a whole!! Ki: That's all the report from Katsumi. Ra: Tell Katsumi to come back to the station. Kiddy, you back up Lebia. Na: Chief, what about me? Ra: Nami, everybody can't get involved in this. We need somebody to monitor the luciferhawk. Na: Yes, ma'am! Yu: Chief!! There's a report a whole congromarit/cooperates' data bank deleted!! Ra: Which corporates? Yu: Four at the moment. Liquid Enterprise, Naruse Heavy Industry, Akitaka Mobile Craft, and Sumi Pharmacy! Ra: Yuki, put the map on the monitor. So, the corporates themselves aren't too involved to each other.. It must be the program in question. Yuki, if the program is to continue to do so, how long would it take for the program to delete all the data of all the corporates in Tokyo? Yu: At this pace, 23 hours 17 minutes 41 seconds till everything is.. Ra: 23 hours.. 23 hours till Tokyo die... There isn't too much time, Lebia! Can she make it?.... chapter 08 to be continued. --------------------------------------------------------------------- the following is another translation of the intermission that appears earlier in this text.
