Materials number 83, 71...

Return to Research Lab 7 lMMEDlATELY.

Check-ups, check-ups... I'm so sick of it!

I want the transpIant surgery, now.

But the check-ups are to make sure we can have the surgery...

Don't be stupid, Zero.

How many times have I toId you?

I can hear the voice.

''ls it POWER you seek...?''

AIice's voice, caIIing out to me!

And I do want it...

the power to escape this pIace, and be free!

Stop it, Edouard!

I'm... I'm scared!

I-If your surgery were to faiI...

I...

I...I

Look, Zero.

What... What's that?

An ''hourgIass,'' they caII it. CooI, huh?

You can have it.

Huh? But...

It's okay, Zero. We're brothers.

We're different from the others.

You're right... It is cooI.

After the surgery succeeds, we won't be numbers anymore.

We'II getreal names.

''Keith BIack...'' Like that.

And thus...the name became mine.

It aII goes to AIice's wiII.

Program Jabberwock is Iike an ancient hourgIass.

And yet, stiII it works thru time.

Ryo Takatsuki...

Hayato Shingu...

Takeshi Tomoe...

and Kei Kuruma. The four were predestined from birth.

Those humans who carried this special gene, they tried to reproduce.

And then, seventeen years ago, four healthy carriers were born.

That's right.

This is where you were aII born...

to be implanted with ''Arms.''

As for the name of the Blue Men official who supervised here...

The ''originaI Arms,'' impIanted without their knowIedge...

Weapons, which transform...

Once you're captured and that chip inside you has been removed...

you'll be of no more use to we Egregori.

Stop it--!!

Ryo Takatsuki's first ''Arms'' awakening.

It went exactIy as pIanned... smooth as siIk.

My left arm COMMANDS it...!

My...father, my mother...

l have but one enemy!!

Stop it, PLEASE...

l've had enough!

lt's not my fault...it's not my fault...

So YOU'RE one of the ''Arms''...?

Katsumi...

A ''chance'' meeting...

Arranged, of course, by us.

There he is!

Well. Two out of three, wins, Al.

The loss is yours, Jeff.

AI...Jeff.

Have you forgotten?

Orders from Egregori top brass brook NO exception.

Hayato, no--!

Bo-o-oring.

Have your ''Arms''really evolved no more than this...?

''Evolved...''?

Keith Red...

What a pain in the ass he was.

l know you better than you know yourself.

And besides... l AM your older brother.

BULLSHlT! How can YOU be related to any of US?!

Pay Abumisawa Village a little visit, if you don't believe me.

Who doesn't want to know...?

Who they are, where they come from.

l've come back once more.

Flight commander to all fighters...

Proceed to target, according to flight plan.

Repeat.: Proceed to target, and attack at will.

Reporting to flight commander.: Targets have been hit.

Roger that.

Toronto 2, start the second phase.

Jabberwock...

Pathetic beyond beIief.

If they're so keen to hone their ''Arms'' skiIIs...

I'II take 'em on, anytime.

StiII, you must admit...

Brother BIack has been correct as to how it wouId aII pIay out.

Keith!

You won't get away THlS time.

The killer of my father, my mother...

the one who cut my left arm... YOU!

l'll take my revenge, here and now!

Y-You're...?

Wh-What is...?

lt's like Takatsuki's Jabberwock...

Has its limiter gone rogue?

No... lt's awakened!

The true strength of ''Arms''...!

lt's Knight in its perfect fighting form!

You've no RlGHT to bear ''Arms''!

Failures like you...

You ought to have been taken APART!

l know the fear that comes with unlimited power.

And, yes...l was once like you.

Nothing but hatred, and revenge.

But it's different now.

Now, l...

l don't want the Old Man to die.

l don't want Al...or the others... any of them, to be hurt.

l only want to protect...!

This light... What...?

l'll PROTECT the ones l love!!

What...just happened?
