Kuromukuro (クロムクロ)

The Black Relic has landed safely.

Dispatch the security personnel.

Roger.

Yes?

Your daughter has returned safely. She is well.

Thank you! Thank you so much, Major.

What did he say?

She is safe.

Isn't that great news, Hiromi-kun?

It is!

Alright!

Why am I also in custody?

Don't complain about small things.

The Efidolg mothership continues its descent.

It is estimated to land in Kurobe in two hours.

What's up with your appearance?

Are you alright?

Sophie!

Thank you.

Everyone, I am sorry for causing you trouble.

Hey, Kamikaze boy!

You sortied in the Black Relic without permission.

Don't think you'll get away with it just because it was a success.

I was ready to take the blame from the beginning.

Very well.

In any case, you performed brilliantly.

The hatch is opening!

Fire immediately if she resists.

Aim for the head. Otherwise it will have no effect.

Sebastian-dono!

Just because she cooperated in saving Yukina doesn't change the fact that she's an Efidolg.

Yukihime-sama!

I am in your debt.

It was you who made the rescue possible.

Yukihime-sama is our ally!

We don't need to be so mistrustful of her.

Don't let your guard down.

Lower your weapons!

He is Zeru, an alien whom I've already been in contact with.

Accursed demon!

Ken!

Step aside!

I am not an Efidolg. I am their enemy.

Don't spout nonsense!

You are an enemy of the princess.

Clueless boy.

If that's the case, then who is that woman?

It's obvious! She is Yukihime-sama.

Then you have nothing to exact revenge for.

What?

What you say is only half true.

In reality, Yukihime lost her life in battle that day.

That woman isn't Yukihime.

She is a copy made based on her genetic information.

A copy? That means…

She's a clone of Yukihime.

Watch your tongue!

I am a Frontier Reform Officer in Efidolg's Gezon-Reco squad.

Your memories were engineered to make you think that.

Nonsense! I have proper—

Memories of your home planet and family?

They are fake memories inserted into you to psychologically manipulate you.

Poor woman. You were created in an Efidolg plant.

A clone?

I saw it.

Aboard the Efidolg warship…

A human was being crafted in some kind of plant.

The Efidolg create their loyal vanguards by planting fake memories

in clones of lifeforms from the planets they conquer.

Creating soldiers on location, huh?

A brutally efficient method.

My home planet was destroyed by them.

If we don't do something now, Earth will suffer the same fate.

We should work together.

Lies!

Who would believe such nonsense coming from a demon?

Now that 450 years have passed, the Efidolg are launching another attack on this planet.

To believe that or not is your choice.

Uh, please wait.

Aren't you the one who saved me back then in the mountains?

Are you Shirahane Takehito's daughter?

Yes.

Takehito was a dear friend of mine.

Can you release us now?

For now, you will remain in custody.

At least officially.

Before long, the Efidolg mothership will land here.

Major, the Director of the United Nations is on the line.

Patch her through.

Major Graham, Director Shirahane.

The circumstances force me to keep this brief.

The research facility is to be protected at all costs.

To that end, we will support you as best we can.

Thank you, Director.

Keep us posted.

And don't forget that the whole world is on your side.

Bring all the equipment you can from the hangars.

Don't let anything remain unused.

As soon as the perimeter is secure,

she will be taken to a proper examination facility in Tokyo.

Kennosuke…

They're suddenly telling us to leave after forcing us to come here.

What's up with them?

There's quite a commotion.

Whoa, look at this.

An evacuation order?

Yakushi Oshou!

Oh! Aramata-san.

There's trouble brewing.

Would you mind leaving the research facility with us?

No problem, but… where is Hiromi?

She's entrusted you to take care of her younger daughter.

It's all right. She will catch up with us.

Hey… where's Yuki-nee?

Has she returned?

Don't worry.

She was rescued by Ken.

The enemy mothership has started launching geoframes.

There are three…

No, there are hordes of them! They are descending rapidly!

All GAUS units and Black Relic, sortie!

You are free to evacuate, Director.

I am responsible for this research facility.

Besides, I can't leave my child behind.

As your butler, I will fight with valor so as not to tarnish your name, Sophie-ojousama.

I expect a lot from you.

Alright, time to show you who's better in a real fight!

GAUS 2, ready to go.

GAUS 3, Liu, ready for battle.

Are you two ready?

I will not take orders from a demon.

That's the spirit.

You…

We're taking off.

The Day the Stronghold Fell

So here you are, Black Glongur.

You look mighty, Imusa. But raw power is useless in the sky.

What?

You'd be hindrance. Hurry up and land.

He is my prey.

But…

Do as Yoruba says.

We're falling.

I know.

They fell.

Above us!

Spider and Rock Head are landing, accompanied by swarms of Headless.

What a waste of tax money.
