[T] Phase.127 Alita Quest XVI
[1] A brutal intelligence and a fiendish will!! The wicked chronicle of un uncommon trickster!!
[2] Desty Nova's genealogy
[3] es.553 Desty Nova is born on Tiphares.
es.561 Nova escapes from Tiphares and comes to the surface.
[4] Desty Nova (origin)
[5] es.590 He is killed by Alita in a fight at Granite Inn, but he revives due to his stomach backup. Conversely, he kills Alita with a bomb.
[6] He returns to Tiphares.
[7] es.591 He regenerates Alita (Battle Angel Alita – Last Order, Phase.1) and immediately after he is killed by Jim Roscoe.
[8] Nova regenerates because of stereotomy.
[9] He exchanges Alita's brain chip.
[10] One of Origin Nova's brain chips removed by Jim, after Ping Wu made it into a device, is revived as Porta Nova.
[11] The other brain chip location is unknown.
[12] Porta Nova
[13] He is killed by Super Nova.
[14] He goes to Ketheres with Alita and Sechs but he is defeated by Mbadi. He gets caught and dismantled.
[15] After the brain chip is removed by Mbadi, the fiendish isotope Super Nova is born.
[16] Super Nova
[17] He flees to Mars (survives).
[18] Due to stereotomy, Nova regenerates on Tiphares
[19] He is killed by Nora and the others.
[20] Nova regenerates.
[21] He is killed.
[22] The process is repeated
[23] Nova regenerates. He programs stereotomy-D to generate Decoys and hides.
[24] Nova X (alias, Flan Nova).
[25] He forces Kaos to play Death Checker (current).
[26] From stereotomy-D, Decoys are generated.
[27] Nora and the others kill them.
[28] After this, the process of regenerations and killings is repeated, but is stopped when Nova X appears.
[29] Decoy Nova #84

[84] Y...
[84] you mustn't kill him!!
I know.
[nx] Ihyaaaa!!
Page 03
“Stereotomy”...due to a regeneration system that uses nanomachines in the air,
even if Nova dies he will regenerate infinitely, right?
Moreover, due to the “restorers” inside the body, even external wounds are mended at once.
However...
[fx] szok!
[nx] Hyaaaa!!
if you get smashed like this...
it should take a little time until the lack of tissue regenerates.
Page 04
You can relax, Kaos.
I've already stopped the Death Checker system.
[k] I-is that so...?
At any rate,
[i] it seems that I am a way crueler man than I thought I was.
[i] This hammer...
[i] strangely, it gives me a nice feeling...
[i] Before erasing my memory, was I working as a blacksmith or something?
Page 05
[nx] Those coat and hammer...
[nx] I thought that your memories of the past had surely returned, but...
[nx] it looks like it's not the case.
[84] I gave him t-that coat!
[i] You can already talk?
[i] You heal fast, eh?
[fx] szo szo szok!
[nx] Aaaargh!!
[k] Please wait, Doctor Ido!
[k] Nova, I want to ask you something!
[k] Marge and the others...where're the Tiphares children who survived!?
[nx] Those girls? After I took some molecular samplings...
[nx] I returned them to their origin of a protoplasm soup to be used in chemical experiments!
Page 06
[fx] bam!
[k] What have you done...!!
[k] Even the children...are you saying that you killed everyone!?
[nx] No, no...there seems to be a mistake.
[nx] I've only temporarily taken them out so those girls can't hinder my plan...
[nx] Since there're all of their sampling data, they can be revived forever.
[nx] Not just their bodies, but the memories they had at the point in time of the sampling...even the clothes they were wearing, perfectly!
[k] Using a regeneration technique like “stereotomy”...!?
Page 07
[k] As if a man was an audio tape or something like that...
[k] What a frightening man...
[k] It's no wonder that who possesses such abilities becomes indifferent to people's lives and deaths...
[nx] It appears that Nova X route and plan stops here.
[nx] However, my other “isotope” probably will deepen the research using a different approach...
[nx] Flan is reminiscence...!!
Page 08
[fx] freeze
[i] What...!?
[nx] Eleven years ago...you died once, killed by Zapan...
[nx] I gathered up your brain chip scattered all around using tweezers...
[nx] I reconstructed the neuron model from the Karmatron Dynamics Theory...I assembled what is you now from that...
[nx] A backup of that time still remains in the nanomachine storage inside my body.
[nx] These capsules are what I programed the nanomachines to establish from your memories.
[nx] From when you were born as a Tipharean...to your life together with Alita ...
[nx] Even the memory of your accidental death at my home...they're inside here...
Page 09
[i] So what?
[i] I won't make any deal.
[i] Your life ends here.
[nx] This is a present for you...
[nx] You're free to drink them or throw them away.
Page 10
[nx] I brag myself of being a genius, but...
[nx] inside us Tiphareans' heads there's a brain chip...
[nx] The man who more than two hundreds years ago designed this small chip that perfectly reproduces the workings of people's brains...
[nx] He, should be called a real genius!!
[nx] And despite that, his name is not recorded at all in the space society history...
[nx] During the many weeks I've been here, I've cracked Ketheres archive, specifically searching the brain chip designer.
[nx] Who do you think it was?
Page 11
[nx] The brain chip designer was, my goodness...
[nx] Melchizedek itself.
[i] I don't know what you're trying to say.
[i] A giant computer is controlling humanity via brain chips, perhaps?
[nx] I don't give a damn about such a trivial thing!
[nx] The main point is that Melchizedek has amassed such an amount of information that goes by far beyond what humans could...
[fx] ?
[nx] Information that can even be called an “universal truth”...moreover, almost none has noticed the importance of this fact!!
[nx] If I could access the information stored in Melchizedek...!!
[nx] My Karmatron Dynamics could progress making a huge le...!!

[fx] shhhhhhhhh

[T] After securing him at a life-support system, we hybernated him.
[T] This should prevent the infinite regenerations from “stereotomy”.
[T] After, me and Kaos, with the help of Decoy-kun, regenerated Marge, the others and the Tiphares inhabitants.
[T] Because “stereotomy” takes six days to complete, we took the MIB equipment. Their regeneration system regenerates large quantity of people in a shorter time.
[T] At Tiphares park, a starving Figure and Koyomi reunited...
[f] Hey!
[ko] Hungryyy...
Page 14
[fx] psssssssssssssh
[x] Huh!? Where am I!?
[fx] Waaaaahn
[x] You won't get any soup tomorrow!!
[x] Ooh!? Tankuer, where did you go!?
[T] Since Nova took samplings from us too, he was also regenerated safely.
[x] Wah! It's a robot!!
[x] I'm a cyborg, you damn brat!
[x] Make some beams come out from the eyes!
[x] I can't, you know!!
Page 15
[T] We explained to the girls that they had been “put to sleep” by Nova.
[T] For now, we decided to keep for ourselves that they had been “killed”.
[fx] wobble
[x] Eeek, are you all right!?
[fx] thud
[T] Due to fatigue, Kaos rested for three days.
Page 16
[fx] tok
Page 17
[f] We did it...
[fx] pssh
[i] Yeah...
[f] I pray that Kayna's soul can rest in peace.
[fx] clang!
[i] To Kayna...and to all the men who Nova made suffer.
[f] ...So, what will you do now, Doctor Ido?
Page 18
[i] Marge and the others asked me to remain at Tiphares and help with the reconstruction.
[f] That's not bad! Ya were born in Tiphares, so it's yer home village, right?
[i] You're right, it's not bad...
[i] The light is coming back on the surface...
[f] The Jocks siblings have restored the power supply from Tiphares.
[f] Those brother and sister engineers left during the party and went straight to work.
[f] Impressive.
Page 19
[f] Since Kaos's recovered, he says he's leaving fer Ketheres tomorrow.
[f] I'll go to space too!
[f] Alita's waiting fer me, after all!!
[f] Even though we part ways here, we're gonna be friends forever!!
[i] Yeah!!
Page 20
[i] My lost memories...
[i] …...
[k] With the range of my psichometry I couldn't find anything suspicious in Nova's behavior in the past...
[k] These seem just what he explained them to be...
[k] nanomachines that will disassemble inside your body after drinking them.
[k] If I were you, I'd throw them away.
[k] I couldn't understand if they have secondary effects or if they are some kind of trap or not.
Page 21
[i] The gentle doctor Ido Daisuke...
[i] Kayna...that was a persona I fabricated to be as closer as possible to what you wanted.
[i] But no matter how much pleasant that was...that's not the real me.
[i] The real me is darker...
[i] When I was punishing Nova, I was excited from the bottom of my heart...
[i] A repulsive joy!!
[i] I'm a man who can enjoy that from the bottom of his heart!!
[ka] No matter what cruel truth lies ahead for you...
[ka] don't lose yourself!!
Page 22
[i] Goodbye, Kayna.
[i] Even if that could be my real nature, from which I want to turn my eyes away...
[i] I'm going to regain back who I am.
[i] I'll never forget you.
[fx] glom
[i] Absolutely!!
[fx] glug glug

[T] The next day Orbit Elevator In front of boarding gate #1
[j] We will remain here and keep doing repair works at the infrastructure.
[k] Please,see that everything is ok.
[x] Take care of the place for a bit while I'm away.
[x] Come back quick, ok?
[i] I'm coming too.
[f] Doctor Ido!
[i] I want to see your reunion with Alita.
[f] Ouh!!
Page 25
[x] Let's go to Ketheres!!
[T] Defeating Nova, Ido's journey reached its finale. Now Figure is left. Can he be reunited with Alita at the space city, Ketheres!?
