## Shitty World Will in Fact Come to an End

***Shitty World Will in Fact Come to an End*** (クソみたいな世界は必ず終わる, *Kuso Mitai na Sekai wa Kanarazu Owaru*?) is the twelfth episode of *The Marginal Service* anime series.

## Summary

Zeno and Brian are reunited and Brian wants them to go and save the children, however Zeno wants to do it alone. Brian punches him, stating that he should stop trying to do everything himself. Rubber tries to explain that there is no time to fight, because if the UFO activates, something bad will happen. However, as he explains, he is caught by the security. Ryo Agata then tells Zeno and Brian to not move, and explains that he is thankful to Brian. He helped Rubber escape prison, which adds another crime to his list, so Rubber won't be able to escape capital punishment. Brian states that their experiments are worse, but Ryo tells him that his research is vital to the protection of Earth, as he doesn't know how terrifying the aliens are. Zeno then realizes that Ryo is the agent that survived Gray Shock, and as a survivor and someone who had contact with both aliens and Borderlanders, he was put to lead his own organization. Ryo reveals that he is from an UN's special organization which is in charge of Borderlanders and protection from space, known as MSS, and they are directly above Marginal Service in the structural hierarchy. After his child was abducted, Ryo expedited the experiments and his ten year research is finally about to bear fruit. They cannot risk information to be leaked and can't just leave Zeno and Brian leave.

Brian points his gun at Ryo and his men and tells Zeno to run and go see his child. Robin and the rest of the team show up, with Robin stating that Zeno can't leave, because he is worried about Brian. With everyone's approval and support, Zeno leaves to search for his child, while Ryo's men and the team start fighting each other. Zeno finds a room with children and knocks down a researcher. One of the children then points him to a room, where Zeno finds his son, Noah. Noah recognizes him and Zeno apologizes, stating its all his fault. Noah asks where his mother is, but seeing Zeno's reaction, he realizes she is gone. An energy transfer then begins towards the UFO.

Brian frees Rubber, who then stands in between Ryo's men and the Marginal Service team, telling them to stop. Ryo wonders why he even wants to stop them, as he knows how fearsome the aliens are. Rubber explains its precisely because of that. Considering how advanced the aliens are, Rubber doesn't believe they will come to conquer Earth with just one small vessel, and its more likely this ship to be just a recon aircraft, which came to scout. And if they find a suitable colony, they will send coordinates and information back to the main unit, so activating the ship will likely means it will send coordinates to their mother ship, and after that the aliens will likely come fast and Gray Shock will happen again.

The ship is fully charged and activates, shooting an energy beam up. Ryo orders his men to open the hatch and the beam reaches the sky. Moments later, a large alien mothership appears. Ryo can't believe that this is happening. Brian then tells everyone that they need to work together or they will all die. Aliens then come down the hatch, causing Ryo to believe its all over. Rubber states they have been preparing for this since they last encountered them. As he snaps his finger, Isabella Thorn, Genzo Sakaki, Bennett Wells and Bruce Gillman appear and prepare to fight alongside Rubber, who introduces them as Borderlander Service. They start fighting the aliens. Cyrus and Lyra see that Bennett takes the Confu drug, which is actually just an energy drink for Borderlanders. As Genzo also uses weapons, Bolts and Robin realize this is why they were involved in arms dealings. Seeing them fight, Theodore recalls murals of ancient Sumer, that depicts something like an UFO and god-like figures. He realizes that those were Borderlanders and they have been fighting aliens and protecting Earth since ancient times.

The mothership then start preparing an attack aimed at Shibujuku. However, Izuna Ren is at the stadium and activates the barrier of five colors that were created by his ancestors and blocks the mothership attack. Humans see that and try to film it, but Eddie Snow interferes and causes their cameras to not work, noting that natural disasters are like romance and their memories are enough. Rubber tells the Marginal Service that the barrier works only once and they need to do something about the mothership, before it can prepare another attack. Brian then gets an idea from a movie, and enters the UFO with Peck. They wonder on how to activate and control it, but Theodore then comes and states they need to handle it with care. He figures its a psychic communication type and Brian is able to turn it on. However as Peck and Theodore are unable to connect with the ship, Brian leaves them behind. Noah sees that they are trying to use the UFO and tells Zeno that he should go as well.

While flying up, aliens start dropping from the mothership. Zeno shoots them down and gets inside the UFO. Brian wonders why is he here, considering he finally got reunited with his child, but Zeno explains he is there to secure his child future. Zeno explains that what is lost is lost and he is sure that Brian will be happy to die protecting Earth, however he won't let him die alone, since he is his buddy. The two then speed up the UFO and crash with the mothership, causing a huge explosion. The aliens then die, causing Rubber and Isabella to be surprised that there are humans who can also protect Earth, besides the Borderlanders. Some of the Marginal Service members believe that Zeno and Brian have died, but Lyra and Cyrus assure Noah that Zeno isn't dead. Elsewhere, Brian wakes up to see that he is alive thanks to Zeno using the build-in parachute in his Marginal Service uniform.

Things proceed normally. The research lab is closed and Ryo is set to be punished. Theodore's occult collection is restored. The Marginal Service continues to work. Rubber and the other Borderlanders are back in a human prison, where they are getting along with the humans. Noah invites Brian for dinner, which annoys Zeno.
