| Spoilers ahead - beware! - - - - - - - - - - Three little children sneak through the night. Sirens howling, light beams flashing ... one child looks sharply at these lights, and the bulbs explode one by one. When they kids are chased to the shore, they can see the other side of the river, and decide to jump down the rock and dive ... At AMP headquarter, the news on TV report the killing of two young women, Hiroko Yamashita and Lisa Emelfer, none of which seems to have shown any resistance against the killer. Yuki grows pale, then leaves office, telling the AMP she has caught a cold. With her not around, there's something missing in AMP office, and the mood is not too light. Katsumi and Nami wonder what's the matter with Yuki - could it be that she is in love? Yuki is sitting in her cafe, remembering her childhood friends. Suddenly she gets a gloomy feeling ... the door opens and a wounded woman tumbles in: "Yuki, help me - someone is after us!" Annie has been a childhood companion of Yuki as well. Yuki treats her wound; Annie replies "You are as kind as 12 years ago." Yuki tells Annie she had lost contact to her friends after the flight and didn't even know that Annie had escaped as well. She promises to protect Annie, and is surprised that she is so timid now - didn't she use to be the strong one back then? They share quite some history: Children connected to wires, forced to take certain medicines, trained in mental skills like telekinetics or teleportation - the Tajima project. And one day Yuki refused to take the pills, while Annie continued to play along ... Later, they still talk about the old times. Annie teleports a musical clock from the table into her hand; when Yuki offers it to her as a friendship present, she wonders: "So we are friends, eh? You didn't change at all." All of a sudden Yuki senses danger: Some explosives connected to a time fuse must be quite close. Annie gets focussed and teleports the bomb outside the house before it explodes. Yuki remembers this had been Hiriko's primary skill ... Annie suggests to leave the place, as the situation has now turned out to be dangerous. Mana Isozaki returns to AMP headquarter. When she reads the news about the two mysterious killings, she rings the alert, commands to inform Yuki and makes Lebia hack into the computer network of the Tajima organisation. But contacting Yuki turns out to be impossible. Annie and Yuki run through the streets of Tokyo, being attacked from all sides. Annie stands off a huge fire blast ... who else but the Tajima laboratories could know about the four of them? The AMP use their spinner to search for Yuki, who is a psychic mutant created in the Tajima labs, as Mana now reveales to the girls. But when Yuki learned clairvoyance, she could tell her own future there as well, and decided to run ... and Rally Cheyenne was the one who found her. Having faught off all attacks, Yuki tells Annie she had always envied her. But all of a sudden, Annie blames her for hypocrisy: Why didn't she ask her to join their escape? Annie releases her mental shielding, and now Yuki can feel who killed her friends! Tajima's system allowed for the transfer of skills to other people, and Annie already took over those of two victims, while Yuki had originally been chosen to finally receive them all, becoming the perfect human weapon. Annie attacks - the spinner arrives, Kiddy jumps and saves Yuki from falling down the rooftop. The showdown can begin - and Yuki just keeps looking at Annie with her sad red eyes ... Helpless and mentally broken, Annie ends up in a sanatorium, with a musical clock standing next to her bed. | |
