Junta: (There's nobody else here... ) Junta: (Is she talking to me!?) (5) Lulala: It's so weird, being the same age as my daddy! [Our first good look at Lulala. She should be arrested for looking THAT cute. ^_^ ] Junta: (What... !? Ah... Of course!! This girl comes from the future, like Karin!!) Text: Her clothes gave her up (6) Lulala: Nice to meet you. I'm Kawasaki Lulala. Lulala: I'm your youngest child. Junta: (You... youngest... Does that mean there are lots of them?) Junta: (Does that mean I'm doomed to turn into the Megaplayboy!?) Lulala: I have to say you don't look like much before the stimulation. Junta: You... You said "the youngest"... Do you mean "number one hundred"? Lulala: I should be, but history kind of changed. I have one more brother now. Lulala: That makes me "number one hundred and one". (7) Junta: (A CHANGE... ) Junta: Uh... And, so... Why have you come to our time? Lulala: To have a baby. Junta: EH? Lulala: Of all your children, me and my unexpected brother are the only ones who haven't had kids yet. Junta: ? Junta: ? Lulala: I couldn't find a mate of my liking... and, besides, Mr. Mori wanted me to mother a child of unrivaled power... so I knew I had to choose carefully... Junta: (Mori? Who's that?) (8) Lulala: And, finally, the computer found the perfect mate for me... DADDY! The baby we'll have will be the strongest of them all! Junta: WHAT!? [Lulala produces an injectogun.] Lulala: I thought you would be worried, so I brought this stimulant. Once you have taken it, we'll make the baby. Junta: Wa... Wait a minute... Aren't you my daughter? This... This is really wro... [Lulala injects Junta.] Junta: WAAAAAARGH!! (9) [Meanwhile, at Karin's hideout... Mori is still chatting... Karin is hiding somewhere... ] Mori: Let me tell you why I selected you for this mission... Mori: It's very simple, actually... It was because you're a failure. Mori: A first-rate DNA Operator would have noticed the bullet switch. (10) Mori: So? Since there's no escape, you should just be a good girl and come out. Mori: Do you really think someone as useless as you could fight us? [We see Karin. She's crawling under the floor.] Karin: Hum. [Karin reaches the computer room. She picks a new costume and some assorted items.] (11) Karin: ! [Mori enters the computer room. He doesn't seem to notice Karin (who is hiding under the table).] (12) Karin: (Phew... ) [All of a sudden, the transport chamber starts buzzing.] Karin: !! Computer: Matter transmission. Two items. Mori: Well. (13) [Mori goes to the transport chamber and picks an object. It's some kind of holoprojector! It contains a recorded message... ] Jun: This sudden arrival may be surprising... Jun: Karin-mama... I'm Jun... The son you had with Momonari Junta... Jun: There are many things I want to say, but... it looks like I'll have to be brief. Karin: (His face... I want to see his face... ) Jun: I was born in 1996, three years after the time you're in... My psychic powers were soon stimulated, but... Jun: When I became 17, I gained the power of foresight... It's unique among my brothers... (14) Jun: I discovered that in 2056, my brothers would cause chaos. I'm the only one to inherit dad's pure heart. The rest are all bloodthirsty killers led by a man named Mori. Jun: I've made it here, but hundreds have already died. Even if I manage to defeat my brothers, it won't bring back the dead! Jun: Please, mom... Try to change the future!! Jun: I've sent you a DCM bullet that will turn dad into a common human. Jun: Shoot him with it and erase us! We... we must not be bor... [Karin-chan looks so cute with her big eyes full of unshed tears... ] (15) Jun: This sudden arrival may be surprising... [The message ends and starts again. Mori drops the projector... ] Jun: Karin-mama... I'm Jun... [... and crushes it under his foot.] Mori: The message was cut halfways... Heh, heh, heh. He really was nervous. (16) Mori: And he even let me hear it... He's certainly a failure like his parents. Karin: (Shit! Shit!!) Mori: Don't you think so? [Mori looks at Karin. He knew she was there, after all... ] (17) Karin: UGH!! [Karin dives through the hole in the floor.] Mori: Hum... Mori: Hah hah hah... Mori: HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! (18) Mori: When you were 3 years old, your parents abandoned you. A fitting beginning for a useless life... Mori: I knew you missed a family and dreamed of a sweet, sweet home... but that dream won't come true. Mori: No matter how much they struggle, useless people can't change their fate! Mori: You must already know that... You have attempted to be many things you were interested in or thought you were capable of. Mori: Policewoman! Computer programmer! Martial artist! Psychic soldier!! DNA Operator!! Mori: And you have been a failure at everything!! A failure!! Mori: So? You'd be better off dead, wouldn't you? Even if you live, you have nothing to look forward to, have you? [In a small underground chamber, Karin is crying openly.] (19) [Mori activates the Cyclops robot again.] Mori: Kill her. [Cyclops starts tracking Karin.] Cyclops: ! [Cyclops notices a Karin-shaped shadow near him and pelts the area with bullets.] (20) [Someone points a gun at a surprised Cyclops... ] Cyclops: ! [In another room, Mori hears a shot and smirks.] Mori: It's done... Mori: ... Now... [Sound effect: BOOM!] Mori: !? Mori: (What was that blast?) (21) [Karin at her coolest... Looming over Mori in full battle garb, weapon in hand... ^_^ ] Karin: Hey. How does it feel to be about to be killed by a failure? Mori: ! Karin: I may be a failure, but that's all right with me! Karin: It's much better than being a black-hearted bastard like you!! (22) [All of a sudden, there's a flash... and voices... Someone has just ported in... ] Junta: Why must we come here to make the baby? Lulala: We need the computer and the devices in the time machine to ensure a 100% chance of success Junta: Tch. How dull. [Karin is distracted... ] Mori: Heh. [We see Lulala and... Junta?] Lulala: Ah, Mr. Mori. Did it go all right? [Mori turns to face Karin.] Mori: Karin... Even luck will abandon a failure. Mori: Two of my allies have just arrived. Karin: Two... Did he say two!? ... JUNTA!! [Yup. A really evil-looking version of Perfect Junta... ] END DATA 40
