Ekusu makina (Appleseed Saga: Ex Machina AKA Appleseed 2) Page #6

---

And like any obsession,

it needed to be stopped.

You could say it was fate.

Elizabeth Xander was killed

in an accident.

Shortly after,

we decided to put an end to Halcon.

But you didn't put an end to it.

You gave it new power.

You gave Kestner purpose.

Tried to cover it up

and instead gave it new life.

Look what you've done,

all to protect your profits.

Halcon's still alive

and you know where it is.

Tell me!

This is Halcon's zero-gravity plant.

It's been abandoned for years...

...but we've traced the frequency

back to this location.

You intercepted our vessel

on our way there.

Good. Then I'll finish the job you started.

All I need to know is

are you gonna get in my way?

Because I'm going to Halcon...

...and tear it apart piece by piece.

You won't do it alone.

Tereus and I are going too.

Then let's move.

We can supply you with the latest weapons and a small task force.

Consider it a goodwill gesture.

This is Arges.

He will take care of the rest.

We'll take you there.

And I got something you'll need.

A human, a bioroid and a cyborg.

Only in Olympus.

Good luck to all of you. You'll need it.

Excellent.

If it wasn't pink, I'd be riding it.

Not to be mean,

but pink was never your color.

Look, we're gonna stop the Halcon signal

and you'll be fine, I know it.

It's worth a shot.

The target should be in sight soon.

All Landmates, prepare for takeoff.

Oh, my God. That's it.

It's a hell of a lot bigger than I imagined.

Halcon's main computer

should be located in the center.

Our unit will escort three Olympus

Landmates to Halcon's central core.

No idea what's gonna be inside.

But that doesn't matter.

We're gonna put an end to this now.

Understand?

Stay cool, stay focused...

...and get ready.

Now go in there

and do what you're trained to do.

It's moving.

Roll to the right!

What the hell is that?

They're drones!

Central core coming up

after we get through this corridor.

The size of it.

That's gotta be the center of Halcon.

And that's what the drones are protecting.

Stay sharp. Here they come.

Look alive.

Roll and fire!

Keep it moving.

No. Not now.

Briareos, no!

No!

Get back!

Briareos!

It's me, listen.

Deunan.

You all right?

I'm all right. Let's keep going.

Another wave coming in.

Keep it tight, people.

Concentrate remaining forces

on reaching the target.

Tereus, I only have one dose left...

...but I know my body.

I won't be able to take another shot.

If I lose it again...

...l want you to take me out.

You understand?

Are you sure?

Why me?

- You know why.

Yeah.

Incoming!

Maintain formation.

Cut straight through them.

Look out!

What the hell have we got now?

Damn it! Jeez!

Come on, show me what you got.

Deunan, are you all right?

- Yeah!

There's another one.

Over there.

That one's mine.

He's asking for it.

- We'll distract the drones.

Take him out.

- Count on it.

Move it, Deunan.

Watch your back.

- You watch yours.

Oh, damn it.

Where are you?

That's right, keep them coming.

These guys aren't half bad.

The central gate's closing.

I got it.

Tereus, take care of Deunan.

One step ahead of you.

Move it.

Deunan.

- Tereus.

Gotcha.

Tereus, hurry.

We're gonna eject, then we jump through.

Do it.

I can't believe this sh*t

is happening to me.

Stay back. Stay the hell back.

Mama.

What cannot become one

will be eliminated.

Daddy? Daddy, get up.

Daddy. Daddy!

Daddy!

Section E commander, come in.

The security cameras

have been destroyed.

We can't seem to contact

Section S, either.

All monitoring systems

in Olympus have been lost.

This is your captain.

All E-S.W.A.T. troops, report your status.

Come in. Come in.

I can't believe this is happening.

What is that?

Oh, my God. It's Xander.

Kestner, what have you done?

Good to see you again, Briareos.

Briareos.

Deunan.

Go ahead and shoot.

Just be aware that if you kill me...

...all of the ones who have merged

with Halcon will be lost forever.

That, of course, will include

the Hecatonchires, as well.

What are we gonna do?

How are we gonna stop this thing?

That would be impossible.

Surrender yourselves now

and become one with Halcon.

Deunan.

Briareos. Help me.

Briareos.

Oh, no. Not like this.

Briareos?

- Part of Xander still lives.

You have to find it.

Deunan.

Help me, please.

You cannot help her.

You can try to plug me into

whatever program you've got planned...

...but let me tell you,

I won't let you do it.

Hmm.

Deunan...

...use this.

Go.

How I admire your spirit.

Tereus.

Xander, you've got to listen.

You're not real,

you're not the same anymore.

I know.

You're like I am. We're just copies...

...but neither you....

Neither you nor I have should be used

by anybody else.

Deunan.

I've reset Halcon's signals,

but you'll need to hurry, Deunan.

Xander, you can't let him

use you anymore.

Deunan, destroy me while you still can.

It's the only way

to stop the Halcon system.

Kill me before...

...Kestner's machine

takes control of me...

...again.

Deunan, shoot her.

I'm sorry.

Xander.

I have release. I am free.

He has no hold any longer.

Thank you.

And I'm so, so...

...sorry.

This is Sector J-4.

The rioters have all started collapsing

en masse.

They've just stopped moving.

The unidentified data

frequency has stopped transmission.

The rioters appear to be collapsing.

What the hell's going on?

Someone must have gotten through.

Are you--? Are you all right?

- Yeah.

I'm okay, Deunan.

Are you sure

Kestner has no hold on you?

There's only one person

who's ever had a hold on me.

You're not gonna like this.

Get up.

Where's Arges? Where's the ship?

Get back.

Leave me here.

Get up. The backup

always follows the point man.

I'm just a bioroid.

They can make another one.

- Don't say that.

We're not gonna leave you, Tereus.

You're coming with us.

No one can replace you.

We need you.

Arges.

What are you waiting for? Move your ass!

Come on, you heard him.

Let's go.

Come on, come on.

Let's go!

Nice of you to join us.

Where am I?

What in the world...?

Man seems to yearn

for his own destruction.

It seems so.

Yet somehow his spirit

always pulls him back from the brink.

Perhaps they are a race worth saving.

You're a good partner...

...Deunan.

I'll always protect you,

even if the world comes to an end.

Now, where have I heard that before?

Somebody told me that once.

Must have been a smart guy.

He's all right.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm all right.

He was her partner first.

She'll have him and I'll find my own girl.

Whatever. Maybe they'll make one for you.

Next stop, Olympus.
