Fall back!

Fall back! Fall back! Fall back!

Eva!

Kate's been killed!

Lucia!!!

Wh... What...

What the hell...

What the hell is happening here?!

How long do you plan on following me?

I have no intentions of leaving you,

not until I return a favor of equal magnitude.

I've said so already...

I owe this life to you.

I've already gained something of equal magnitude.

Very impressive.

I acquired this skill thanks to you.

Me?

Before then, it never crossed my mind the flash sword was controllable.

But when I saw you in that underground castle,

I completely changed my thinking.

Even when your body had already awakened,

you were able to keep your mind on the human side,

something that shouldn't be possible according to our common sense.

It had a great impact on me.

The strength of one's mind can be a very powerful force.

That's why I gave it a try.

By reacting to the Yoki,

I was able to use my strong mind to control my flash sword.

And this was the result?

This skill was possible thanks to you.

Don't give me that look.

If you go missing, I look for you.

That's a given.

Rubel...

Impossible...

We didn't even sense her presence...

Number Five...

Rafaela?!

So?

Surprised, right?

This one is the most talented at hiding her own Yoki.

She's the best choice for secret missions.

I suggest you don't.

Even with the two of you, you won't be able to defeat this one.

She's a bit special, you see.

And Galatea?

What happened to Galatea?

She abandoned her original mission...

...and came up with that blatant lie.

After we heard her report,

we chopped her head off right away.

I wish I could say that,

but she's rather a useful individual.

We spared her life.

She'll be sent on dangerous missions for a while.

Clare.

I'm here to give you a mission.

A mission?

Numerous Awakened Beings have appeared in the Northern Lands,

and several warriors, under the command of Number Seven, have all lost their lives.

Your mission this time is to take out those Awakened Beings.

The organization is prepared to send a large number of warriors,

and you're one of them, basically.

Complete this mission and we might even reward you.

This should be considered a great chance for runaway warriors like you two.

Well, you don't need to decide right away.

We've already made you aware that we can find and kill you whenever we want.

Ah, and...

...that boy you had around...

It seems he went to the North.

He might still be looking for you.

Raki's...

If you're still thinking about seeing the boy again,

the Northern Lands would become the ideal area for your purpose.

Rubel...

H-Hey!

What's going on here?

What's about to happen?

The Northern Lands of Alphonse.

The first city of Pieta.

I told you that you didn't have to follow me anymore.

Geez, people like you...

Hahahaha, you're still alive, aren't ya?

You're...

Long time no see, Clare.

Helen!

She's just saying hello to an old friend.

Don't interfere.

Deneve!

It sure was a pretty low-class greeting.

Respect needs to be paid even to old friends.

What is it with you, Clare?

You're always partnered with stubborn people.

What's your number, comrade?

Just so you know, I'm Twenty-Two,

and this one's Fifteen, eh?

My name is Jeane, Number Nine.

What?!

A single-digit?!

Clare's Number Forty-Seven, yo?

Clare saved my life.

What does that have to do with our number status?

Looks like not all single-digit warriors are intolerable.

My name is Deneve.

I apologize for earlier.

But do believe that Helen didn't have any ill intentions.

No, I said too much, as well.

It wasn't something I should say to comrades fighting together.

Yo, umm, I'm sorry, Jeane.

Everyone, please gather here.

We will now be briefing you on the mission.

My name is Flora,

Number Eight in the organization.

So she's Number Eight?

Hey, since there's more than one single-digit warrior here,

you having the lower number must mean you're the leader, right?

No, there's someone with a lower number than me.

She's the leader...

Miria!

So that's Number Six...

Phantom Miria.

Everyone, it was a long journey for all of you to gather here from your areas.

My name is Miria, Number Six.

I will be serving as the leader of this mission.

Our mission this time is the slaying of the many Awakened Beings lurking together in these Northern Lands of Alphonse.

That is why so many of us are here.

You've got to be joking!

Many Awakened Beings?!

There's no way a lot of Awakened Beings are lurking together!

But that is the truth!

Many Awakened Beings...

If you're squirming already, you can run away, little girls.

Our job is to fight and destroy Yoma and Awakened Beings.

If you piss in your pants just for seeing them, then you're pretty pathetic.

Get out of here right now.

What's with her?

She's pretty brutish.

She's even got two claymores on her.

Number Eleven, Undine.

She describes herself as having the most strength among warriors,

and thus her double-sword style.

Hmm...

But, if you ask me,

the fact that she displays her superfluous muscles in non-combat situations...

...shows that she's just a small potato.

Whoa, pretty critical there.

Huh?

What was that?

Who were you directing those words at, yo?

Forgive me.

I spoke softly so that they wouldn't be heard,

but I guess my natural voice is rather loud.

You're... pretty interesting...

Hey, come on now, Deneve.

Everyone, please be quiet.

We are not done talking yet.

For those who still wish to make trouble,

I will be glad to take you on.

Windcutter Flora,

Number Eight of the organization.

Drawing out her sword, slashing, and putting her sword back...
