ULTRASEVEN X EP7 PT3

Jin awakes to find that the two women have moved him inside one of the warehouses. He jumps to his feet. Elea asks if he is ok. He says his arms are very sore, and he is still a bit groggy but he'll live. The girl says that they should be safe at the warehouse for now. She introduces herself as Lasunda. She walks up to Jin and says, " Your strength, and ability to take a hit from a sonic disrupter...and these."

She takes the Ultra Eye from her pants pocket. Jin and Elea are startled.  She puts it to her face. "Could you be the Red Giant?" He looks at Elea, who returns his look. He hesitatingly says, "Well, I call myself Ultraseven when I am in my other form." He tries to take the Ultra Eye but she moves away, smiling. Elea asks if she is an alien. Lasunda nods. She hands Jin back the Ultra eye.

She tells them she was part of a expedition to Earth two years ago. They were to determine if Earth was a suitable staging planet to be taken over. She had been turning against her races' desire for conquest and their cruelty to enemies for some time at that point, but Earth and its beauty got to her. And she was entranced by the life. All of Earth's life.

And then she heard music. Her race had nothing remotely comparable to human music. And then there was someone... She looks at them both and asks if it is wrong for an alien and a human to fall in love. Jin and Elea look at each other. Jin says he doesn't believe so. Elea says love is love.

We go to the gang's latest DEUS safehouse. K and S are sitting on a couch. Facing them and handcuffed to a chair is D. K has his gun pointed at D. K asks in a clipped tone why they want to invade. D rolls his eyes and says he is not an alien in disguise. S says she saw him die. He says he is sorry he had to do that to her, especially after they had broke up. K glances at S, and starts to ask her about that.

She cuts him off and tells D she has been over the end of their relationship for some time. She does however have anger at him for not respecting her enough to at least explain why he faked his death. K again demands him to tell them why they are invading.

D looks at him and says with a smirk, "Who ate Pierre Buevin's meat pie? Isn't that our codephrase for an emergency situation?"  K looks surprised. S says that it IS a code only DUES agents know. K scoffs and says some aliens can read minds. D says that is true, but not in this case.

He is fiddling with the electronic handcuffs restraining his arms behind his chair. He calmly asks what it will take to convince them. K says alot. D says, "Maybe... This?" He leaps up, freed from his handcuffs, and manages to grab K's gun before he can react. He knocks K down and puts the gun to his head. D, angry, tells K that he could kill him right now if he wanted.

S puts the barrel of her gun against D's head and tells him if he kills K he WILL die for real, regardless of their history together. D nods and relents. He hands back K's gun. He begs them to listen to him. It is literally a matter of life or death. K, pissed, says, "Do what the hell you want." S tells D to tell them what he wants to tell them. He smiles briefly, nods and tells them that two years ago DEUS got reports of an alien group appearing at random. They'd sometimes attack people and had killed a couple people and made off with their bodies. He says that he'd seen what at the time he thought was an attempt by one of these aliens, who call themselves the Vairo, attacking a young woman.

Flashback to the opening scene. Lasunda and D are facing each other. He has his gun trained on her. She still holds out the guitar. She tries to speak to him in her language. D looks at her, confused.

She starts to strum the strings of the guitar, and tries to sing the song the guitar's owner had been singing. D gradually lowers his gun.  Lasunda sets the guitar down on the ground, stands and removes her helmet. We see she naturally has pale skin, her eartips merge into her head, and her eyes are lizardlike. She smiles, and raises her hands to show she has no weapons. D stands and looks at her, entranced. In a voiceover, D says that her voice, demeanor and beauty despite her nonhuman nature captivated him.

Back in the safehouse, D looks at them. He tells them that her race's.culture is basically like the Spartans, they spend their lives training to be warriors. Any weakness, physical or otherwise is despised and dealt with harshly.

He tells them Lasunda's removal of her helmet is considered treason by her race. Once they enter the Vairo military they must never take their helmet off in front of anyone other than family. And to show their face to an enemy is an automatic death sentence. K looks over his shoulder at D. "A...Death sentence..."

Another flashback of D and Lasunda at a wahrf. He is playing a guitar, then shows her how to play it. Another shot of them at his home, where he is teaching her to speak Japanese.

Back in the present, D looks at the floor. He say she came as part of a group to investigate the worth of invading Earth. But she was never the bloodthirsty warrior the bulk of her race was, and after falling in love with Earth, she rebelled. S asks why he faked his death. He says to protect Lasunda. They had fallen in love. He asks if its crazy for a human and alien to fall in love. K runs his chin, nonplussed. D says that he couldn't leave Lasunda alone. She had turned on her people, and was alone here now. And she is being hunted. K starts and replies that that must be what the Vairo who attacked him wanted. D says yes. Then he says he's willing to die to protect her. S says he won't be dying a second time. He looks at her and she smiles. K says they can't be sure he is being truthful. S looks at him with annoyance, and says, "K..." K rolls his eyes, and finally says, "Aw, what the hell... I like peace and love too. Where have you guys been hiding from the Vairo?" D smiles and thanks them. K says they better alert Jin and Elea. They may just need Jin. S agrees and activates her armband.
