Re: Born Page #2

What? What did you say?

Hello?

I'm sorry, Sachi.

I can't come home for a while.

Stay with Tsuno.

Toshiro?

Perfect timing.

I remember you cared for this book.

Thanks.

Are those two helping at all?

Yeah.

They're carrying my stuff.

Max is a veteran,

but this is Masaru's first mission.

I'm worried about him.

That's the tall one?

Well, he's more useful than you are.

I heard from Kenji.

Phantom was the CO of the unit

that both he and Toshiro belonged to.

Toshiro's three years retired.

Why's Phantom acting now?

International crimes?

Yeah, international crimes.

All while leading such a powerful unit?

That's disgusting...

Brainwashing children.

Brainwashing?

Toshiro couldn't take it

so he turned on Phantom.

Got himself taken out.

Taken out?!

10 on east. 8 on north.

All standing by.

It's from Abyss Walker!

But I can't make it out.

That's my prey!

What's your location?

Do not get in my way!

Do we really need him?

Abyss knows Ghost very well.

They used to be buddies.

Seriously?

They were similar in many ways,

but different in purpose.

Light...

and darkness.

Abyss Walker wanted

freedom and destruction.

Nothing more.

Casper.

It's time.

When Phantom found out Toshiro was alive,

he swore vengeance.

But why'd he come here himself?

Well...

That's not our business.

We cover Toshiro.

Kenji used to tell us.

War is no place for children or machines.

This is so messed up.

Toshiro...

Take me with you.

Those rookies aren't good enough, right?

I can still fight!

Toshiro, please!

Hey.

I'm begging you!

Please!

Take me!

I won't get in your way!

I want to die on the battlefield!

Dammit, take me with you!!

Kenji!

Don't do this. It doesn't suit you.

I heard Toshiro's code name was "Ghost".

As in, the legendary Reborn Ghost?

Doubt it.

It's just a legend, right?

You ready?

Do you need this?

Animals are simple.

This will suffice.

Hey, Toshiro?! It's Tsuno.

I can't find Sachi!

Tell me she's with you.

Yeah, she's here.

Oh, thank God.

Sorry to bug you, then.

No problem.

Thanks for the call.

Did something happen to Sachi?

Did someone kidnap her?

Don't worry.

It's all part of the plan.

What plan?

Now I know their location.

They didn't steal Sachi from me.

I let them take her.

You've really grown up.

Oh, don't you worry.

I'm an old friend of your uncle's.

And I am very glad

your uncle is still alive.

What do you mean?

Do you know why your uncle

risked so much to save you?

Would you like to know?

Because...

the same blood courses

through both of your veins.

I believe...

that he could see.

The future.

But, he betrayed me.

And for that, he has to die.

This is not a battle.

It's an execution.

She's in those ruins.

We move together until they're in sight.

Let's go.

I count five enemies.

The main building is here.

And we are here.

One company.

One platoon.

One platoon.

One platoon.

I'll draw their attention.

Move in two-man cell

and attack from here.

How many enemies?

About 30 people to a platoon,

and 80 to a company...

That many?!

We're three men!

I could handle them alone.

Remain calm

even if you're shot or stabbed.

Be prepared to end in a draw.

Nerves cloud your thoughts.

It's how herbivores get eaten.

Carnivores don't get nervous.

Are we here to be hunted?

No!

We are the hunters.

The Ghost stays silent and

shows no sign of his approach.

Try to hold your fire.

The sound will tell him where you are.

Fire only when you have a clear

shot at the target.

Point Bravo, reporting gunfire.

Possible diversion.

Stay alert!

Point Bravo, under fire!

The enemy has broken through!

Deploying reserve forces.

Don't shoot!

A kid?

You won't survive the battlefield like that.

War is...

no place for children or machines!

Kenji...

I'm sorry.

You're too soft for this world, old man.

I'll manage to survive somehow.

Max, you go on ahead.

I'll finish things up here.

Reserve forces down. Echo, Charlie, move

towards the ruins.

Echo, roger.

Be advised, the Ghost is

an entire squad unto himself.

Do not think of him as human. Over.

Quit using the guns!

Get in close and stab him!

Behind him!

Take me!

I won't get in your way!

I want to die on the battlefield!

Dammit, take me with you!!

Don't fail me, Kenji.

Our war is not fought for the

sake of children.

My war was over.

Frontline is down. No response...

Block the Ghost!

What? Say again, over!

The frontline has been eliminated.

Stay on high alert.

Do you like fairy tales?

The battlefield has its

fair share of legends.

One of which is

the Legend of the Reborn Ghost.

The Reborn Ghost has been seen

fighting in a number of wars...

The infamous Vietnam,

Afghanistan and Iraq.

He's said to have survived

all sorts of impossible missions.

Of course,

I don't put much stake in fairy tales.

If he were real,

he would be older than me.

And yet...

your uncle's codename, "Ghost".

It comes from this man.

As if he intends to fight like the legend...

The Legendary Reborn Ghost.

Uncle!

Max, look after Sachi

Certainly.

Uncle!

Sachi...

Don't worry. I'll be back, I promise.

You're lying!

If you go now, you won't come back,

so don't leave me!

Sachi...

I'll be back.

No!

Let's go home together!

Don't leave me...

C'mon, let's go home...Come on...

Stop it!

Sachi...

I'm sorry.

See you soon.

Sachi, I love you.

Uncle!

Which one is the target?

Right or left?

Just pick one and shoot!

Go right! Go right!

You never change.

You can't stop the war like this.

This isn't a war...

It's justice!

Still want my blood?

Come and get it!

Sachi...

You good?

Uncle!

Are you OK?

Where are you?

Sachi.

I'm sorry.

I need you to hang tight.

Uncle?

All of this was a trap to bring you

within my reach.

You've done well so far.

But how are you going to

fight with wounds like that?

You're not Ghost anymore.

You're just a spectre with no name.

Nobody remembers who you used to be.

You're nothing.

What do you have to live for now?

You really think you brought me here?

Now I've got you in front of me.

That's all that matters.

Are you still thirsty for my blood?

I've got bad news, old man.

My blood's run dry!

So...

you really are the legend himself.

Toshiro...

Why did you save that little girl?

Why did you...

Why did you kill your old buddy Abyss?

Why...

Why?

Why did you subject Kenji

to that living hell?

Why?

Why?

Why do you fight?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why?

Why...

Are you so determined to live?

You talky old f***...

I'm not alive.

I died a long time ago.

Sorry, Sachi...

Your dad's not gonna be able

to pretend to sleep tonight...

There is only so much

we can do in this world.

It doesn't matter

how great you think you are...

When we lose our footing,

we can only think of ourselves.

And that makes the world

a colder and sadder place.

But in our darkest hours...

We need imagination to

look towards a brighter future,

and pray God sends us

someone who can turn the tide.
