Darker than Black:Gemini of the Meteor > OVA 2

Hei...
Hei... where are you?
Who are you?
Let me go.
I can't...
What do you want?
Help me, Hei...
Please, Hei...
Hei!

You okay?

I'm scared.

I won't let anything happen to you.


So you're looking for passports, huh?
How many you need? Just one for each of you?

That's right.

Sure, think I can manage that.
But any reason you didn't go through your embassy?
Last I checked, any citizens can get one.
Huh... your lady friend know what kind of shady guy she's hooking up with?
Geez, I'm just joking, man!
I couldn't care less about your personal business, okay?
Don't go getting mad.
Look, don't worry about it.
I've got a soft spot for lovebirds like you.
I'll get you what you need, then you kids can run off into the sunset together or wherever the hell it is you're goin'.

It's pointless.

No, no need to thank me. It's the least I could--
Hold on, what do you mean, "pointless"?!

Yin?

The Syndicate is already tracking our movements.
It's pointless to run.
The only real option we have is to ambush them.

What are you talking about?

You heard what I said. It's our only choice.

What's wrong with you? That's insane.

There's nothing wrong with me.
Ambushing them is less insane than choosing a plan that's bound to fail.

Say, there's no point in arguing when you know you're right, so then, why don't we discuss my payment?

Shut up.

Really?

Shut up.

My mouth is shut!

So how do we go about this?

Spread a rumor that you're looking to sell me.

Sell you?

It will lure the Syndicate straight to us.

Just like that, huh? You realize what you're saying?

Depends on who you're asking.
You're worried about the group that tried to abduct me in Okinawa.
But it won't do us any good to try and run from them. They have a Doll tracking me.

Is it within close proximity?

Not at the moment, no.
But only because I haven't called out to him.

Chen.

Yeah, what's up?

Spread the word that I'm selling a Doll.

What, her? You're telling me that girl is a Doll?
She's too expressive, man. Dolls are like living ice sculptures.
Hm?
She really is, huh...


This thing is entirely in a class of its own.
I'm tellin' ya, this isn't just a normal Doll.
I mean, its Observation Specter's shaped like a human.

So, how much do they know?

A good amount.
He's even pushing the human form of the Specter as a selling point.

Well, sure.
I mean, I can't imagine there's too much interest in buying a run-of-the-mill, ordinary Doll.
Do you think we should go ahead and make them an offer?

Let's see how things play out first.

All right. This probably isn't the best place for you to hang out, though.

Why is that?
I'm not particularly attached to this body, but you might be right...


If you knew we were being tracked by another Doll, why didn't you say anything?
Is it because you were worried about me?

Maybe.
I'm not sure.

You can't do this, Yin.
You have to tell me when you're worried.
I may not have all the answers, but still... I need you to trust me.

I don't understand why you're telling me this.

Why I'm... It's because we...
Do you remember what you were saying... what we were talking about?

We were talking?

Forget it.
Just know that you can always talk to me. Anything that's on your mind.

I just want to be with you... for as long as possible.

What happened?

They rightout cornered me, and I didn't know what to do.
I knew this deal was bound to lure in a dangerous element, but these guys...
We're talking serious psychopaths here.
It's not too late to bail, you know?
Trust me on this, we should run while we still got the chance!
I'm tellin' ya, these people are monsters!
I tried...
Doesn't make any damn sense why they get involved.
They don't normally deal with small business like the Doll trade.

Well, I've made an exception.

Is she the Doll?
I've been curious to see her since I heard about her unique Observation Specter.
Can't say she looks like anything special, though.

Well, is this a nice surprise.
I didn't expect to see you here.
I musta misheard you. I thought you said to meet at Lo's store.

I'll take it off you hands.
How much?

Ah... well, um...

How's this sound?
No? How about this?

Wow, three thousand, huh?
That seems a little...

Would you like thirty million?

Thirty... what?

Go ahead and inspect it.

Me?

You'll be okay. I won't let anything happen to you.

I should've just stayed home.
It's real.

And now for the question of your authenticity.
Let's take a look at this human-shaped Specter.

What if I refuse?

Well, that certainly wasn't a very Doll-like thing for you to say.
Unless you're instructed to say that for some reason.
You could inflict the worst pain imaginable upon a Doll.
And it wouldn't so much as make her whimper without its owner's consent.

You seem to be basing that assumption on the behavior of a normal Doll, which I'm not.
Being with this man has changed me. I'm not even sure what I am anymore.
Although, whether I'm a Doll or not, it doesn't matter.
We never had any intention of making a deal with you.
And you'll try to kill us either way.

I'm sorry! I don't know why she said that!
I promise, I'll keep her quiet! I'm so sorry!

So you already knew.
I like a challenge.
Good luck dodging the next one.

Didn't I tell you?! I told you they were crazy!

You're going the wrong way!

Come on!

My Specter's not here.

It's you.
That's strange.
For a second I would've sworn there was someone else coming up behind me--
B-Brother... why...?
It was only an illusion?

So her Specter's off on its own?


Looking for someone?

Tell me where you hid her. Make it easy on yourself.
No point in suffering now, is there?
There's no question that she's the one we're after.
That much was clear the instant you used your ability. You're well-known, Black Reaper.
We'd already heard that you'd be making an appearance in our city.
A tip about a Doll with a human-shaped Specter.
And a tall, dark and lethal man acting as her protector.
A male Contractor who can manipulate electricity. A force to be reckoned with.
Despite of our current situation, the strength of your ability is apparent. It's not easy holding you down.
It's nice to meet a man who actually lives up to the hype for once.
If I'd known we'd wind up like this, I might have worn a few extra layers for my payment.
But that's okay.
If I were to power up my ability any more at this point, it would crush every bone in your body.
I'll give you a moment. Think over your situation.
All you have to do is give up the girl--

This can't... It's impossible...
No... you're just a Doll...

It can't be...

What the... hell... are you?

There's no point in resisting it.
What is it, Hei?
Why are you so scared of me?

You...
Let go of Yin.

It would be best for you to let go.
She's not human anymore. There's nothing to save.
If you really want to help her, then you let her come to me.

You're her...?


Geez...
So I guess you got her, huh?
Well, at least his bleeding has stopped.
We should get him out of here.
Give me just one second.
It's not like I can stay in Hong Kong now.
This will help my move.

Sister...
You killed my entire family.
You brought this on yourself.


I'm almost one hundred percent certain that Doll is the real Izanami.
I understand. To be honest, though, it really does seem like a waste to simply kill it.
Which leaves me with no other choice but to part ways with you.
Sorry, Madam Oreille.
Take care.


ENDING


This thing is the anti-Contractor weapon?

Indeed! This little device [XX] will put the power back in our hands where it properly belongs.

It's just incredible! I'm amazed that you were able to miniaturize the Saturn Ring in just 18 months.
Should we set up a series of preliminary trials, Doctor?
You know, to gauge the effects on normal humans as well.

This baby's powered with antigate particles.
It's harmless to humans but highly lethal to Contractors. It'll vaporize them.

Question: What if we shot them with gate particles instead?

Exact opposite!
They would become even more powerful than they are.

Hmm... That makes sense.


Yoko Sawasaki.

It's Kobayashi.

Good timing, Chief.
It looks like we should be able to put that new device to use out in the field.

That's good to hear. Let the researchers take care of the rest.
I need you on the first plane to Hong Kong.
Just received word that the Contractors we hired to capture the Doll were found dead.

Does that mean that Izanami has already awakened?!

We don't know the details yet.
But there's one thing we do know for certain: the situation's been getting worse ever since BK201 left Tokyo.
I've sent someone to pick you up. Talk to them. They'll fill you in on the details.

I'll try not to let you down. Thank you, Chief.

I'm Yoko. Nice to meet you.
You, uh... My hand?


PREVIEW

After being picked up by the remnants of the EPR, we found a moment of safety and peace, which is an obvious sign that something is wrong.
We fell right into their hands.
A jungle rain bores into us like rust bores into rock.
