As the quest judgment occurs right before Fuko and Andy,
the failure to capture the Unseen Negator is told.
Andy is confident that Unseen was taken by Unrepair based on the clues.
Signifying the existence of a Negator who may be an enemy, the Roundtable goes silent.
And then, as a penalty for not being able to complete all quests, UMA Galaxy is unleashed into the world.
Juiz mentions that penalties from Apocalypse all harbor the possibility to drive humanity to extinction.
Those words prove true as Acks, an alien race planning on conquering Earth, brings a giant army.
Juiz fends off the invaders using her Negator ability Unjustice,
and then orders contact with Negators to fill the 11th seat of the Roundtable.
Sensing an upcoming battle, Andy volunteers to approach Unrepair.
A new sunrise shines light down upon the reddish soils of the land.
I'll go. If their ability is true to their name, one attack'll prove to be fatal.
I appreciate that.
Fuko, you go along as well.
Roger that. I gotta repay the favor for helping me out!

MENSWEAR SECTION
So many... celebrities.
Sorry to keep ya waitin'.
What took you so long, Andy?
You know I don't fit in here. I nearly died of embarrass-
Y'know, it's been a while... since I've gotten decked out in a suit like this.
Well? Am I lookin' good, or what?
Whoa. Such long legs.
You're so chiseled, Andy.
Y-Yeah! You look like some kind of ritzy celebrity.
I'm not askin' ya what I look like.
I'm askin' if you like what you see.
Huh? Does that matter?
It does.
C'mon, how are the threads?
- Good? Bad? Huh? Come on! - Too close! Too close!
A FEW HOURS AGO
A black market auction?
Yep.
It's an auction that deals with Negators, UMAs, and Artifacts...
...that the organization hasn't been able to manage.
Their operation's been busted up before... but it looks like they're back in business.
The guys behind it are mafia from all over the world.
They always hold it in random locations, so trackin' them down ain't no easy task.
But Juiz managed to locate 'em.
The next auction will be held tomorrow at midnight...
...on a luxury liner docked at the port of Rio de Janeiro.
In Rio de Janeiro? Could that mean-
Location of Unrepair. Right here.
Yeah.
We'll likely find Unrepair there. Though, we don't know if he's buyin' or sellin'.
We're gonna infiltrate the ship as guests using these passes that Nico made.
Infiltrate? Are we gonna be okay?
We can't show up dressed like this, of course.
Only a select few celebs are allowed aboard, which means...
....it's disguise time!
Oh?
Whoa!
S-So short!
So, is covering yourself up some kind of habit of yours?
S-Shut up! It's your fault for picking out all these skimpy outfits!
Says the girl who was wearin' a low-cut top when we first met.
I planned on dying that day! I just threw something on!
That doesn't explain why you picked nothing but skimpy outfits!
We need the surface area to make sure big strokes of unluck occur-
Yeah, sure, a likely story!
That might work for you, but not for me!
It might put other people in danger, too!
What're you talkin' about?
You're going to this shindig as my gal.
I'm not letting anyone else lay their hands on ya.
If you're too embarrassed about showin' some skin to enjoy yourself, then fine...
...but at least wear whatever you like when you're with me.
Besides, you do know these guys buy people with money, right?
Hittin' them with a stroke of unluck would probably do the world some good.
Wha...?
I can't do that!
If I'm not careful, they could end up dead.
You slipped in another scanty dress?
Tch.
Miss Juiz...
May I ask why you chose to assign me to this mission?
Our highest priority right now is securing an 11th member.
The one we want is-
Unrepair, right?
I'll go.
I appreciate that. I'll assign you backup for insurance.
Take Tatiana along with you.
Wait a-me?
Fuko, you go along as well.
Do you take issue with my decision?
I can see the point of sending Andy... and Tatiana, since she looks solid and tough.
But why me? I'd just drag them both down.
I am simply acting in accordance with my own vision of justice.
And my justice is to protect this planet and the innocent people who inhabit it.
That is why I ordered Shen and Void to kill you.
I felt leaving you unattended would endanger this planet.
However...
...seeing our recent fight with Victor- no, Victhor-made me think.
If we can manage to control that Unluck of yours, it might just be powerful enough to kill God.
But your power is far from sufficient in its current state.
Ragnarøk is drawing near, as well.
For that reason, might I request you work with him, connect with him, and do what it takes...
...to fall in love with him?
Huh?
Okay, that's it! I've had it!
If this doesn't work, then get Miss Juiz to take my place!
Lookin' good! I give it an eight out of ten!
Be confident. Hold yer head up.
Arms to the side, not in front.
Wha...? Oh...
All right, now that's a perfect ten. Let's go with this one.
Not too tight 'round the chest, is it?
Maybe a little.
We'll have 'em do a li'l tailorin', then.
We send the luggage to the hotel, and...
We've got time to kill, so how 'bout a walk?
Yeah!
Aah...
Hey, by the way...
About that stroke of unluck the other day...
Y-Yes, what is it?
When am I gonna get some?
Huh?
Why're you runnin' away? Stop right there!
Got the hint! I decline!
Lemme get a meteor shower of my own!
I knew it!
Victor was the one who ate that, not me!
I was the one who smooched ya, so I deserved to take that one!
Not my problem! That was out of necessity!
If it's not necessary... then count me out!
You dope.
Think you can buy time with some random stroke of unluck?
Well, too bad. Right now, I'm in Full Armor Mode!
FULL ARMOR MODE =
WEARING CLOTHES
Clothy!
Sure thing!
Serves you right!
Hm? Wait, is this gonna hurt me, too?
Sorry about that, Clothy. I'll give you a nice ball of yarn later.
A ball of yarn: UMA Clothes' favorite food.
Oh.
This was a combo-type stroke of unluck.
Combo-type: low potency strokes of singular unluck occurring in a chain reaction-like style.
Sorry about that. It ended up being a lot bigger than I thought it'd be.
That guy...
Hm?
You know, Victor. I don't know who he is.
Hell, I don't even know who I am.
Heard he said somethin' about him bein' the original.
For all I know, it's true. I've barely got any childhood memories.
Without this card, I can't keep myself together.
He might show up again someday...
...and try to attack you and anyone else near you.
If that happens, then...
Don't worry.
If that happens, then I'll use my unluck to save you as many times as you need.
So long as you're in there, Andy... However many times.
Now, let's go! We need to get ready for tonight!
Yeah... you're right.
My gloves are still off! I'm sorry!
Wait, Tatiana?
Oh, it's you, Fuko.
Strange. According to my calculations, I was set to drop near the port.
Guess my unluck caused a detour, then.
Well, whatever. I assume the boss has filled you in, correct?
In seven hours, you two will be going undercover to board that ship while I infiltrate from elsewhere.
The auction is scheduled to commence after a cocktail party.
You two will search for Unrepair from the inside, and I'll cover the outside.
I'm sure the place will be filled with revolting sights...
...but don't blow your cover until Unrepair is located!
Oh, Fuko, take this.
I heard you were going to wear a dress, so I had Mr. Nico remodel the necktie that members wear.
I hope it suits you well.
Thank you.
Oh!
One more thing! Those forged passes have you two down as a married couple.
What?
Put on a good act, you two!
Shall we, my honey?
Y-Yes... my darling!
SEPTEMBER 9TH
12:30 A.M.
DEPARTURE FROM PORT OF RIO DE JANEIRO
All right, heads up.
We're about to enter the underbelly of society.
Don't think about righting the wrongs around you.
Just don't lose sight of what you believe is right.
Let's do this.
Okay.
I simply must know how that Cryptid you won in the previous auction fared!
Aah... I wasn't able to use it at all.
Andy, what's a Cryptid?
They're likely talkin' about UMAs.
I was actually thinking of cooking it up sometime soon. Care to partake?
Oh, why, yes!
Don't listen. It'll rot your ears.
Did you hear? They say that a Negator is the main item for this auction.
Oho! Quite a rarity indeed!
It's impressive they found one considering how they just kill themselves off.
Apparently, they're easier to find now than ever before.
Easier to find?
The language unification must be to blame for that.
Unification of all the world's languages.
Altering the memories and cultures of all non-Negators.
All languages have now been unified to English.
Ooh! Spotted some open seats!
The only reason you and Shen can chat now is because of that necktie, remember?
Oh, I get it... So, with Negators that can't speak English...
Yup. With everyone suddenly chatterin' away in English, they stick out like sore thumbs.
Does that mean it wasn't a good reward for us?
Not necessarily.
The Union has a hell of an information network of their own, you know.
All we gotta do is be one step ahead and secure them before-
You ain't eatin'?
But which is better?
Hm?
Bringing them to the Union... or letting them be sold off here?
Both are 'bout the same, aren't they?
Ya either die during a quest, or become some rich fat cat's plaything.
I wonder what kind of person is being put up for auction tonight.
You curious?
If they're an inconvenience to those around them like me... then they've probably led a hard life.
Not knowing the logic behind their abilities.
Not knowing what they should or shouldn't do.
So I was about to choose death...
I used to think...
Folks who ended up as Negators only had three courses their lives could take.
Accept their ability and lead their life.
Fall into despair and choose death.
Or double down and embrace a life of crime.
But there's actually a fourth course. And that's killing the source-God.
I met you and joined the Union on a whim...
...but I've changed my mind since meeting them.
You don't need to accept, give up, or double down on anything... you can fight.
So that's why the Union's got my vote.
What about you, Fuko?
I...
I can't accept myself, and was even on the verge of giving up...
But I would say that...
Please stop troubling us, sir!
This area is off-limits to non-personnel!
Come on, do me a solid here, boys. I want to show my girlfriend here the stars.
You've been warned. Guest or not, this is the last time.
You think your pretty-boy looks are gonna charm the mafia?
Latla.
What is it?
Will I die?
Yes, you take a fatal shot to the head.
That so?
In that case, I won't die.
Oh, my.
- Hm? - Huh?
He cut our necks... in that instant?
He even sliced the carotid artery? Gotta stop the bleeding... stop the bleeding...
Why can't I... move my hands...?
Th-Thanks.
Kain! C'mere!
See, Latla? If you weren't such a baby, you could have snuck aboard like that, too.
And get drenched in bile? I think not!
Rip, take this.
Hm?
Should I have brought a suit?
No need. We'll be running amok anyway, right? It won't matter
Latla, you can toss that. I don't need it.
Well? Are there really any here?
Yeah, just one, though. We're going to take them now.
And you thought we wouldn't find one, Latla!
Your fortune-telling was way off!
Shut your mouth. That was sheer luck!
Feng! Glad you could join us!
He only speaks Chinese, Rip.
Oh, yeah! Pardon me, it slipped my mind!
THANKS FOR COMING Ganxiè ni de dàolái.
NO NEED FOR THANKS Bùyòngle.
We've got big trouble, Zombie!
- Not Zombie. - We have infiltrators on the deck of the ship!
- I told you, I'm Undead, ball brat. - They were speaking a language other than English!
- Huh?
A man with an eye patch slit a couple mafia necks, and the victims were acting weird afterwards!
There are four of them. At least two are Negators!
They seem to be after the Negator being put up for auction!
What do we do, Boss?
I see.
Negator Hunters.
This group has come up quite a bit as of late. That is their unofficial moniker.
Are these the same guys who took Unseen?
Most likely, yes.
We share common ground in that they also specialize in collecting Negators by force.
But the difference lies in our objectives.
We of the Union seek to kill God in order to be freed of Rules.
Them, on the other hand?
They seek revenge against the world.
If the Negators they collect prove worthless, they dispose of them.
Well, I suppose we share that aspect in common as well.
We do not!
The reason you tried to kill me was to protect people, right?
I know the powers of a Negator can be painful and sad to deal with...
But even if they are...
That doesn't make it okay to take it out on the world!
Let's do this!
Yeah!
