- Kakine: Pretty cool, right?
- Kakine: I'm here to announce my victory.
- Mugino(edge): Ha
- Mugino: Says the spare plan rejected by Aleister.
- Mugino: Let's not forget all the running away you were just doing.
- Kakine: Now, now.
- Kakine: I had to repay you for what you did at the particle engineering lab.
- Kakine: We lost one of School's four main members.
- Mugino: Aren't you forgetting...
- Mugino: that we killed your sniper a few days ago?
- Kakine: We got a new one.
- SFX: Wham
- 05
- SFX: Bam
- Kakine: That hurt.
- Kakine: Pissed me off too.
- Kakine: I'm killing you first.
- 06
- SFX: Crash
- Shiage: Eh?
- SFX: Wham crash
- Men: Hgeh!
- Saiai: Hamazura.
- Saiai: Go find a car in a super hurry.
- 07
- Saiai: School is after Takitsubo-san.
- Shiage: What?
- Saiai: Since they knew where our hideout is, it would be super prudent to assume they know other things too.
- Saiai: And if they know how troublesome her power is, they'll want to take her out first. So she can't track them.
- Shiage: You mean her searching power?
- Saiai: What we can do will be super limited without her.
- Saiai: But if we have her, we can recover from most anything.
- Saiai: So find a car and get her out of here!
- 08
- Saiai: Takitsubo-san.
- Saiai: This is enough of a weapon for you since anything else would be super dangerous given how you zone out.
- Saiai(small): Accidentally triggering a stun gun won't kill you.
- SFX: Kaboom
- SFX: Rumble rumble
- Saiai: Please get going.
- Saiai: Super hurry!!
- 09
- Crowd: Wah!
- Crowd: Kyaaah!
- Saiai: Where's Mugino?
- Saiai: Given what happened at the particle engineering lab...
- Saiai: attacking Dark Matter head on would be a super bad idea even for Mugino!
- 10
- SFX: Pow
- 11
- 12
- SFX: Boom boom boom boom
- 13
- Kakine: Ohh, ohh. Impressive.
- Kakine: Sunazara was probably torn up along with his magnetic sniper cannon.
- Kakine: I guess that's what happens when you replace your people in a hurry.
- Kakine: Hah.
- Kakine: A remnant of the Dark May Project, huh?
- Kakine: That couldn't have been fun.
- Kakine: That was where they tried to optimize some espers' Personal Realities using Accelerator's calculation patterns, right?
- Kakine: That gave you an automatic defense power.
- Kakine: A defense field opens automatically, just like with Accelerator's reflection, but nothing more than that.
- Kakine(outside): Looks like you originally controlled the air or something.
- 14
- Kakine: Do you ever feel sorry for yourself?
- Saiai: Not really.
- Saiai: I'm super lucky compared to the people used for the Produce Project.
- Saiai: They apparently had their brains sliced open like a Christmas cake to figure out where in the brain their Personal Reality lived.
- Saiai: What happened to Mugino?
- Kakine(edge): Oh.
- Kakine: Nothing really.
- Kakine: Where is the AIM Stalker?
- Kakine: That's all I want to know.
- Kakine: Tell me where she is and I'll let you go.
- Saiai: Who would be dumb enough to give into threats like that?
- 15
- Kakine: Oh, I dunno.
- Kakine: Frenda maybe?
- Kakine: To be clear, your Level 4 Offense Armor can't beat my Dark Matter.
- Kakine: This isn't something you can overcome by being clever.
- Kakine: Where is the AIM Stalker?
- 16
- Saiai: Looks like...
- Saiai: I don't get to say no.
- SFX: Throw
- 17
- 18
- SFX: Wham
- Kakine: Hey.
- Guy: Yes?
- Kakine: Retrieve her.
- Guy: Retrieve her? You sayin' she's still alive?
- Kakine: That's just the kind of esper...
- Kakine: she is.
- 19
- Shiage: Damn, it's stopped up above.
- Shiage(small): Hurry up!
- Rikou: Hamazura.
- Kakine: There you are.
- 20
- Kakine: I was looking...
- Kakine: and looking...
- Kakine: and looking for you.
- Shiage: Kinuhata!!
- Kakine: You're the searching esper, right?
- SFX: Ding
- Shiage: Takitsubo.
- Shiage: You get on the elevator and head down.
- Rikou: But Hamazura.
- Shiage: Just do it.
- 21
- Shiage: Even if I did abandon you here...
- Shiage: it would be Item killing me next! Goddammit!!
- Kakine: Sorry to interrupt...
- Kakine: but how long are the goodbyes going to take?
- Shiage: Go!!
- Shiage: Huh?
- SFX: Push
- 22
- SFX: Thud
- Shiage: What are you-
- Rikou: Sorry,
- Rikou: Hamazura.
- Rikou: But.
- SFX: Rumble
- Rikou: I've been thinking since that furnace.
- 23
- Rikou: And I don't want you to end up as ashes like that.
- 24
- Rikou: Don't worry.
- Rikou: I'm a Level 4.
- Rikou: So I can protect a Level 0 like you.
- 25
- Kakine: Hey, AIM Stalker.
- Kakine: What do you hope to accomplish with your power?
- Kakine(small): Is this some kinda joke?
- Saiai: Ta...
- Saiai: kitsubo-sa...
- SFX: Pour
- 26
- SFX: Heartbeat
- SFX: Gather...
- 27
- Kakine: You...
- Kakine: Are you interfering with my AIM Diffusion Field...
- Kakine: to hijack my power!?
- SFX: Pant pant pant
- 28
- Shiage: What the hell?
- Shiage(outside): I thought espers didn't give a rat's ass about the rest of us.
- 29
- Shiage: Like we were garbage.
- Shiage: Or a disposable convenience store umbrella.
- Shiage: Takitsubo Rikou...
- Shiage: went to face Academy City's #2 all on her own.
- Shiage: Even though she has almost no chance of winning.
- Shiage: All to save a Level 0 like me.
- 30
- Touma: What about you?
- Touma: Did Skill Out ever reach out a helping hand to the weak?
- Touma: You say people make fun of you, but that has nothing to do with having a power or not!
- SFX: Bang
- Shiage: Yeah.
- 31
- Shiage: That's goddamn right!!!
- Shiage: Takitsubo!!
