Z/X: Ignition

In the early 21st century,

the Gates opened without warning.

From within the Gates, which would later come to be known as "Black Points,"

bizarre monsters from beyond our world appeared.

These monsters brought death wherever they went.

And in less than seven days,

humanity had lost any means of fighting back,

and the planet was engulfed in the darkness of despair.

As the unending nightmare dragged on,

people came to call the creatures that came from the Black Points

"Zillions of Enemy X"...

or Z/X.

Three years have passed since the Gates appeared.

Go, Tyranno!

Squash 'em all!

Permission.

Error adjustment: +2.

Energy fully charged.

Target, locked on.

Shoot!

Tyranno!

What?

That pea shooter won't hurt me!

Azumi, can you hear me?

Yes.

What's the enemy?

A Gigantic.

Definitely a Red World Z/X.

So the Red World is invading?

I can't say for sure.

I need to find out what the other Z/X is.

I see.

I'll chop you to pieces!

Your attacks can't hurt me!

Not bad, upstart samurai.

My name is Rindo.

And I am no mere upstart!

Yeah, I hear you!

You actually kept up with Rindo.

That Z/X of yours isn't bad.

You too.

You're not bad for an elementary school kid.

I am nineteen!

Nineteen? And you're that flat?

Rindo, slice that bearcat apart!

Understood.

I'm no cat!

I'm a panther!

A Z/X from the Green World that appeared from the west.

A Red World Z/X from the north.

For Z/X from two worlds to appear at the same time...

Is it a coincidence?

Or are they working together?

Either way...

They can't be allowed into Kobe.

And where is that idiot when we need him?

Welcome.

Right this way.

What are you doing, Asuka Tennoji?!

Now is not the time for this!

Will this seat be all right?

Yes.

Call me when you're ready to order.

Are you listening, Asuka?

I can hear you fine.

Then...

It doesn't matter. I'm at work.

Which is more important? Your job or Kobe?

Both of them!

Found you!

I won't let anybody get in our way!

Oh, come on! Keep still!

Are you hurt, Azumi?

No.

I'm glad.

Thank you.

Looks like they're really going at it over there, too.

A decoy?

Sieger, get over here!

Huh? Why?

I was just at the good part!

Just do it!

You're a selfish little princess, as always.

Hey! Are you running away?

If you want another round, I'm up for it anytime.

But...

Okay, see you!

Oh, sorry, Aina.

No, I'm fine.

But why the hurry, Tennoji?

I'm off to be a hero!

Bye!

Activate!

Your shift's finally over?

You shouldn't have come to work on New Year's Eve.

Fierte, you're an angel.

Do you even know why New Year's Eve is important?

More importantly, are you going north or west?

North!

Understood.

Wait a second!

We need every second we can get right now!

Fierte, I...

I hate heights!

Are you okay, Azumi?

Yeah.

It's over!

Sorry we're late.

You...

Asuka!

What are you doing here?

I came to save you.

There's no need to be so mean.

Nobody asked for your help.

Well, that's true.

But do you see that hospital?

My mom's there.

Your mom?

So I can't let these nasty guys get anywhere near it.

Sanctifying Light!

What, what? What happened, Tyranno?!

Now, Rigel!

Aim for the feet!

Don't give me orders!

Darn it! They won't get away with this!

Alexander!

Sera, you and the others are to proceed to the city.

But...

You would disobey me?

What did Mikado say?

He is my strategist.

He would not disagree with me.

Roger.

Let's go, Tyranno.

Uh-oh.

They're heading for the city.

What do we do?

Stop them, of course!

That would be a problem.

Who's there?

A Red World Z/X user?

Indeed.

Then the Red World is behind this attack?

Me?

Ayasaka?

Don't call me by my first name.

Sorry.

So what's up? I'm kinda busy here.

Just listen to me.

The attacks from the north and west are decoys.

The real force is somewhere else.

Somewhere else? Where?

The ocean!

The ocean?

It's too late to do anything about it now.

Or so I'd like to say.

But there was no need for decoys in the first place.

It looks like the White World has abandoned this town.

The White World abandoned the town?

What does that mean?

I don't know myself.

You.

Me?

What's your name?

Asuka Tennoji.

How would you like to help us, Asuka Tennoji?

No way!

I see.

Unfortunate.

Farewell.

Wait!

We're following them, Fierte!

Right!

No! Too high up!

Rigel!
