Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 1

(a very cool/cute picture of kira... *kakkoiiiiiiii...*)

text : my name right now is sakuya, kira sakuya, nice to meet you.

(somewhere on a bridge)

text : the first time I met senpai, it was a windless humid summer day.
punk A : hold him tight! (taking out scissors) what the hell is that one fourth 
foreigner thing? it's pissing me off! I hate your eyes and hair!
setsuna : stop...! (but he's held back)
punk A : I'm gonna cut it all off! (hold setsuna's chin)
setsuna : ! (twist his head) ah! (the scissors cut his forehead)
punk A : I told you not to move. (setsuna froze with blood dripping down his 
chin)
punk B : hey? I think he's traumatized by the blood!
setsuna : [blood...!]
punk A : what's that stupid look?
punk B : I'll make you bleed some more, brat... (get punched in the face) ah!
punk A : waaaa! asshole!
punk B : how did he suddenly... stop!
punk A : stop it...! (more punching)
setsuna : [I lose control at the sight of blood...! the smell of blood awakens a 
sleeping beast inside of me...! (alexiel with the nanatsusaya stands in the 
background in shadow) kill! kill! another entity is slowly awakening... my 
desire for more blood...]

(firecrackers explode in their face, setsuna let's go of the guys to cover his 
face. the punks fall down.)

setsuna : !

(kira standing on the bridge above, holding firecrackers, apparently, setsuna 
and co are on the ground below the bridge, anyway...)

kira : idiot! (setsuna looks up very surprised) what are you gonna do from now 
on if you get so serious in a kid fight? [I really didn't think you would be so 
fierce...] you wanna go inside for these punks, for such a trivial things? only 
retarded people do stuff like that! (THAT smile...) or maybe, you're just like 
that?
setsuna (holding the pendant) : I never felt the unfamiliarity of a first 
meeting, I thought I knew him from somewhere... [even though he taught me lots 
of bad things, he also saved me many times...! now the earrings he gave me 
broke... the breeze passes through the empty holes that are still there. I don't 
want to believe that everything he ever did was a lie. senpai...!]
text : kira senpai...

(meanwhile, kira puts on his shirt, and walks into his house)

father : sakuya!
kira : hey old man, you skipped work today? that's unusual!
father : the police came this morning! that kid that always hang out with you 
katou, they found his body...
kira (smirk) : hn? did you tell them : "my stupid kid could've done anything"?
father : no! I don't think you're that stupid! you use to be so gentle! it's 
impossible...
kira : when the hell was that? didn't you always go apologize to the neighbors 
for the things I did when I was little? (smoking) and everyone would say : "only 
a family without a mother can have such a brat!"
father (slap kira) : do you know how hard I've worked to keep this family? I am 
trying, doubling your mother's efforts on me, to make you a good person... 
that's the only reason why I'm still alive! you're the only thing I have left!
kira (touch his bruise) : you're strange... (smile) so strange... you should've 
abandoned a brat like me a long time ago! why do you care that I'm your son? 
alcohol, cigarettes, get into fights, have affairs with girls, crash cars and 
beat up teachers! in the last 11 years I've committed every possible sin... what 
do you want me to do? I've done everything... to make you not love me, to make 
you abandon me! but it's all useless!
father : what are you talking about... (shock) what are you saying? sakuya!
kira : no! why can't you understand? I am not your sakuya! your son couldn't 
possibly be trash like me! sakuya died when he was seven with his mother in that 
car accident... KIRA SAKUYA IS DEAD! (smirk) you're really stupid, you know, you 
got fooled by a monster. (leaves)
father : sakuya? wait! sakuya! get back here! SAKUYA!

(kira ignores him, the following is a little flashback/conversation happening in 
kira's head)

sakuya (inside kira's head) : ... that's right... i... kira sakuya died when I 
was seven. I remember clearly the deal I made with you...
text : in that car accident, I could feel mother's body getting cold, if she 
didn't protect me, I'm probably dead already. but, when I thought I was dying... 
you appeared in front of me, a ball of light with a blood mark inside, and then 
you slowed turned into a human...
kira (who's in his last incarnation, a samurai...) : you... you don't want to 
die? then if you can live, what would you want to do?
sakuya : hn... I want to read! I want to read a lot of books... I want to learn 
more...
kira : do you want to make a deal? lend me your body! I need your flesh to 
finish something, so I want you to lend me "kira sakuya" for a while. of course, 
I'll give you your wish.
sakuya : then after a few years, I'll die again? if I die now with my mother, 
dad would fall apart... alright, I agree.

(so that's the deal, the spirit becomes kira, who's still living inside of him, 
end of flashback)

sakuya : you've read a lot of books for me, and... you made father hate me! 
because I love him very, very much, I hope that he won't be sad anymore when I 
die as the deal comes to an end. [I can't let dad care about me!]
kira : back then... I really didn't understand you, humans have such complicated 
emotions! but maybe I've synchronized for too long, I've absorbed your feelings. 
now I'm being bothered by things I couldn't feel before.
sakuya : then that means we've became one "kira sakuya"! I'm a part of you now! 
(the boy smiles) you're human! (kira has this unspeakable look on his face) do 
you like dad? sakuya...?
kira : eh...
sakuya : how about setsuna?
kira : ... (smile) probably.
sakuya : is it because he's alexiel?
kira : no! he's different from alexiel, he's only a normal kid, he likes to play 
pranks, a little clumsy, but he's trying very hard to live. (a CUTE picture of 
kira and setsuna, kira's like an old brother, and setsuna's such a cute boy...) 
he's like a little brother who always gets in trouble. oh! yes... I like this 
strange world. all the time I've spent, it was really fun. (memory of all his 
friends, his father...)
sakuya (smile) : that's because you're human! live the way you want to. (fades) 
I'll a little tired, I'll rest for a while... inside your body...
kira : oh... fine. (sakuya disappears) good night... the other me.
text : you're human now.

(sara leaves her house)

kurai : sara! (sara turns around) you leaving today?
sara (get in the car, smile) : eh, the plane's one in the afternoon. like you 
said, I'm a coward! I'm running away from brother. in junior high, a lot of 
girls liked my brother, I don't know why but he rejected all of them. then there 
was a really enthusiastic girl and they started to go out. I was so sad, and I 
was really mean to that girl, I also picked on brother all the time. because of 
that, their relationship didn't go very well, and in the end, I became the 
reason they split up. I guess, if brother's gonna get married with other girls, 
I won't be able to control myself, and who knows what I'll do! so I chose to run 
away! and I'm also worried about mom, she's so protective of me. (open her bag) 
this... is a toy ring he gave me on the first time we went shopping together 
when we were kids. It was really too big for me back then. (give it to kurai) 
can you take it? it's alright if you don't want it. (put the ring on kurai's 
finger) you're really cute, and pretty too... I'm sure brother will notice one 
day. bye, take good care of him.
mother : we're leaving! sara! (calling from the car)
sara : alright! mom! (leaves)
kurai : s... SARA!! (drops the ring)

(in the car)

mother : sara, forgive me, I love you so much! but I always think that you'll 
leave me one day...
sara : mom, I won't leave you, I'll always stay with you. (sad) always...
kurai (pick up the ring) : [see? it fell. (staring at the ring) that idiot, she 
still kept this cheap trash in such a nice box! and treasure it... how can 
something like this fit me? even if I accepted it, it's still not mine!]

(she watches sara's car disappear, meanwhile, setsuna's in trouble...)

police : excuse me, we're the police, are you mr. mudou?
setsuna : uh, yeah.

(police hand him the lighter in a evidence case)

police : do you recognize this lighter?
setsuna (looking it over) : huh? I think I saw it somewhere before...
police : uh? oh, after you got into a brawl in the lunch room two days ago, what 
did you do?
setsuna : after lunch...? no... nothing! [that's right! alexiel... (remembers 
that HE killed katou)]
police : mr. mudou, can you come with us? we have some questions for you. let's 
go! (pulls) hurry up!
setsuna : ouch! I know already! you can let go.
kurai (running) : setsuna! get your ass to the airport! (setsuna turns around) 
there's only an hour left, sara's going to london! she won't ever come back! 
what the hell are you waiting for? [hey! hey!] her mother got her a fiancé over 
there!
setsuna (shock) : [what?]
kurai : go now! don't worry about what people will say! take her... take sara 
and leave this place! go or you'll regret it for the rest of your life! the 
mudou setsuna I know is not a coward! also! (hand him the ring) i don't need 
this marble, you can give it back to sara yourself!
setsuna (take the ring) : kurai... (smile) thank you!
police : hey! hey!

(setsuna push away on of the police, and kurai kicks the other guy's balls... 
ouch...)

text : I finally understand the reason... why alexiel is not awakening...
police : sugimoto, are you alright? (the guy that got kicked... have 
problems...) hey! w... wait!
text (Setsuna laughs and runs away) : this is probably what alexiel wants... she 
doesn't want to awaken, because... she wants to become a human.
setsuna (getting into taxi) : narita airport, NOW!!
police (chasing after him, scream at taxi) : he's underage...!

(they can fight over the taxi... while kurai looks really sad, arakune is 
right...)

arakune : kurai... you're really a moron!
kurai : at least I'm not that stupid to lie to myself for the rest of my life.
arakune : to make others more important than yourself, only a fool does that. 
(touch kurai's face... and tears) yes, and you're such a fool... I just can't 
leave you... kurai.
kurai (crying) : eh...

(so setsuna finally reached the airport still catching his breath)

setsuna : sara!
mother : it's time to leave.
sara : ok.
setsuna : SARA!

(she turns around, gasp, and setsuna is standing right there, sweating and 
breathing heavily)

mother : s... setsuna! (sara turns her head, she can't seem to face setsuna)
setsuna : sara!
sara : [no! if I turn around now... he'll shake my determination, I can't turn 
my head!]
police : hey! there! (catch up to setsuna) come on, it's really quick, just come 
with us!
mother : huh? what did he do now?
police : no, we just need to question him, you'll be treated as a suspect if you 
run away!
setsuna : just give me some time! this is serious! just a little time!
mother : it's time, let's go, sara... (they leave)
setsuna : sara! (the police restraining him... why?) I love you! this is the 
first and last time I'm gonna say this, so listen to me! I've loved you ever 
since I can remember, it's troubled me since, and I tried to like other girls... 
but it doesn't work, I only love you! now and forever! even though I know... I 
can never make you happy with a forbidden love! but even if it's a sin, even if 
we'll go to hell, I don't want to lie to myself anymore! I'm very selfish, sara, 
I don't want to hand you over to anyone else. I'll even kill you, as long as I'm 
with you, I'll be happy. since we won't be able to see each other anymore, 
please listen to me one last time. I love you, sara! leave with me!

(sara gasps, she is so troubled, but she remembers something from her childhood)

sara (running toward setsuna) : brother, wait! don't leave me! please turn 
around! please don't ignore me! [brother, turn around, calling me... the smile 
that only I know. only mine... brother! but...]

(runs for her mother)

sara : mother! [but...]

(setsuna looks kinda in between sad and shock, while their mother embraces sara)

mother (pat her in comfort) : I understand... I understand, sara! good girl. 
sara, let's go! good girl...
police : come on! it's over. she's leaving with her mom. gee... kids these 
days...
sara (kiss mother) : mother! (crying) I'm sorry, mother! (push her away)
mother : sa...?

(sara running for setsuna)

text : brother, wait for me! don't leave, turn around and look at me like 
always! that same smile... hold me! don't leave!
sara (hanging onto setsuna) : I don't want anything! god's blessing, church bell 
tolls, or a white bouquet... I don't want it! I just want brother. don't leave 
me again! or else, you would kill you... and then myself...
setsuna : let's leave! sara!
mother (on the floor) : don't go, sara-- STOP THEM...
police (something explodes) : ahhh!
setsuna : firecrackers? [is that...] ! (smoke everywhere)
kira (throws him a package) : setsuna!
setsuna : what?

(kira steps out of the smoke)

kira : setsuna, what are you waiting for? go on your honeymoon!
setsuna (clearing the smoke) : se... senpai!
kira : my kid brother would've be stupid enough to get caught by these guys! go! 
there's an exit over there! (smile, lighting another firecracker)
setsuna (smile) : senpai! (they have a moment to themselves)
police (cough) : what... are you doing? he could be a murderer!

(slash, half of his tie falls off)

police : !

(kira's katana is at his neck. kira withdraw the sword and hands it to them)

kira : here! this is the murder weapon. it should clearly have my prints on it, 
you can match it with the ones on that lighter you found with katou's body.
police : t... then...
kira : I killed katou!

(so on the other end setsuna and sara left on a train)

text : back then, he gave me a package.
setsuna : earrings! and some money.
sara : [brother, you're not a girl!]
setsuna : [senpai... thank you! from now on, you'll always be my senpai.] (put 
on earrings)
sara : it's great! (smile) you looks really cute with earrings! brother. 
(setsuna grabs her hand) ouch! what are you doing? (sweatdrop)
setsuna : gimme your hand, sara. (hand her the ring) don't call me brother 
anymore, it's setsuna! I won't tell you again. (serious)
sara : ... (blush)
text : let's elope, to a place where god can't touch us.
sara : hn!
text : freed from the bondage of morality, find a place where no one knows us, 
where no one can find us. further and further from heaven, a garden that only 
belongs to us...
sara : setsuna...

(setsuna slides the ring on sara's fourth finger)

end of Verdict-Guilty, part 1

translator's note : I think kira just has THAT smile... it's like his 
trademark... just happens that he's my favorite character... though... I 
actually like him better as SOMEBODY ELSE... no... not the one you're going to 
find out in the next volume... the one you find way way much later... anyway... 
these notes I make don't really make sense... but I really like that past story 
between him and alexiel's last incarnation... later in this book... though still 
not as cool as vol 11, my favorite...

volume 03 section 02


Angel Sanctuary - Assiah
Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 2

text : close your eyes slowly in your wings, awakening from a daze... and we 
realize, it's only a dream... a nightmare... that ended...

(a vaguely looking angel being, whatever, that's holding a ball of light. well, 
it's only all in metatron's head...)

metatron : [who? who's over there? what's that in your hand? what's that round 
red thing? earth? why is earth red? the lands... why is there blood on the land? 
why are you?]
rociel (kiss earth) : who are you talking to? did you forget? hahah... oh yes, 
you were under the impression that you got rid of me and sister in the war of 
heaven and earth. look closely! great seraphim metatron! (serving a plate with a 
child's head) this is you!
metatron : [rociel!?]
rociel (the plate disintegrates) : this is how you and sevotharte shall die! 
(laugh)
metatron : [AHHHHHHHHHH]

(in the palace in heaven, a man in mask - sevotharte walks in. actually this is 
metatron's palace since he's the chief of the seraphims, it basically makes him 
the king of the angels...)

sevotharte : what's wrong?
maid A : lord sevotharte!
maid B (taking care of metatron) : lord sevi! his majesty metatron had another 
vision!
metatron (he looks like such a cute little kid... *but I really don't like him*) 
: sevi! sevi! he's coming! (struggling) he's gonna kill me this time! he wants 
revenge! I'm so scared! sevi! sevi! please help me! sevi~~~
sevotharte : did he have another prediction dream?
maid A : yes, it's obvious from his abnormal mental reaction.
sevotharte : did he mention what it was about?
maid B : yes, I think it was... the sealed angel rociel has awakened... as he 
spills blood over assiah, he laughs and says, "metatron, sevotharte! this is how 
you shall die!"
sevotharte : oh! I see... [that... insane one!] and... are you two the only ones 
who heard it?
maid A : yes, everyone else were cleaning.
sevotharte : I see... well done. you may rest now!
maids : AH!

(he kills both of them and the blood splash on the wall)

sevotharte : someone! clean this place! it's disgusting! and go find new maids 
for his majesty.
metatron (sobbing with his bunny) : sevi... where'd you go? I've been calling 
you!
sevotharte : don't worry about that dream, it's time to take your medicine!
metatron : sandalphon...
sevotharte : hn?
metatron (scared) : it's my dead little brother sandalphon! he's mad at me 
because he died before he was born, he's giving me those dreams...
sevotharte : don't be stupid... take your medicine!
metatron : no! I don't want medicine! sevi's never with me! (turn around)
sevotharte : I'm really busy! but didn't I just leaving in the middle of meeting 
to come here? [don't show me your ass!]
metatron : liar! sevi hates me! whatever! I'm going to see jibrille!
sevotharte : the ex- cherubim chief gabriel? but, she's...
metatron : I did everything sevi told me to do! but you don't listen to me! if 
you don't let me go see jibrille, I won't take the medicine! (grab his sleeve) 
please! sevi!

(later, metatron running toward the water temple where jibrille rests)

metatron : jibrille! I really miss you! jibrille! (she just sits there, not 
reacting to anything... like a statue) jibrille, what are you looking at? what 
do I have to do to make you hear my voice? just how... can I make you look at 
me? if you can only smile at me like you use to, I'll do anything for you! I'm 
the king of the angels now! I'm the greatest existance! I can give you anything 
you want! if only... you wish, I'll tie the world up in ribbons and give it to 
you. jibrille... (no reaction... a vegetable)
sevotharte : I wonder! why is metatron so obsessed with that strange woman? hey! 
get out here, zaphkiel!
zaphkiel : ! too bad! (walk out from the bushes) [I got caught...] (smile) well, 
lord prime minister sevi of the seraphim chief!
sevotharte : how was the meeting? zaphkiel!
zaphkiel : same as always, does it matter that I skipped it? his majesty 
metatron is just like an ordinary child who needs to be loved, lord sevi, maybe 
you were a little too strict on him? he's only a cute little boy!
sevotharte : ha! cute? they're all the same! him and that rociel and alxiel... 
using their charming appearance to deceive the world. those two were created by 
our great creator using demonic science and technology, monsters from his 
altered genes! if you continue to interfere with me or metatron, I'll name you 
as a rebel! the thrones chief zaphkiel! 

(please read my note on the bottom if the angels names/orders are confusing you, 
in the mean time, sevotharte takes out some pointy thing and points it at 
zaphkiel's neck.)

zaphkiel (smile) : hey! I was only lost! you know my eyes can't see!
sevotharte : ha! don't think that excuse can save you forever! maybe... you 
should've just pretend to slumber forever.

(sevotharte leaves, the wind blows...)

raziel : ZAPHKIEL SAMA!
zaphkiel (funny laugh) : [just as I though...] raziel kun!
raziel : don't "raziel-kun" me! (stepping through the bushes)
zaphkiel (cover his mouth and push him down) : what are you doin? normal angels 
are not allowed in here!
raziel : I'm worried about you! everyone's saying... zaphkiel sama definitely 
wouldn't show up to that meeting!
zaphkiel (sweatdrop) : [I have zero credit...] raziel! i... even if I can't see, 
I can handle things myself! [listen to what the old man says] you should know 
that, so don't worry! (a little serious) do you understand?
raziel (look away) : uh... yeah.
zaphkiel : you want some tea after we go back? I bought a lot of tea last time 
in assiah!
raziel (sweatdrop) : yeah.

(after they return to zaphkiel's mansion, raziel is preparing tea)

zaphkiel : in a world without god, the chief of the seraphim high committee... 
also one of the seven archangels, metatron, becomes the highest existence here. 
but the truth is... all the power lies in the hands of his prime minister, the 
other archangel sevotharte... this is an open secret.
raziel : but I heard if metatron and sevotharte can establish a firm rule, the 
rebellion would calm down! [and thanks to you, I'm the best tea maker in 
heaven!]
zaphkiel : using terror to put down strife is only temporary. when the 
suppressed hatred reach its limit, it's like a shaking soda bottle, just a 
little push, and it will explode! raziel, then what will happen? can we really 
trust a ruler who doesn't even show his face? what do you think? raziel!

(tokyo disneyland! anyway... back on earth...)

text : guilty! this is the judgment of god! god is always correct! in this 
world...
punk A : where are you from?
punk B : idiot! of course she's from tokyo, right?
punk A : miss, you wanna come with us?
punk B : we'll take you someplace where it's really fun!
setsuna : hey! (come over, very protective of sara...) don't touch my woman!
punk A : hey! let's go! [too bad... she's cute...]
punk B : heh! she's got a boyfriend!
setsuna (first shocked, then... pulls him back by the hair) : hey! hey! what did 
you just say?
punk B (sweatdrop) : "got a boyfriend?"
setsuna : say that again!
punk B : she's got a boyfriend!
setsuna : again!
punk B : what are you doing...
setsuna : say it again!
punk B (sweatdrop) : uh...
sara (sweatdrop) : ...
text : when we were young, we use to run away with whatever money we had on us!
setsuna : what are you mad about?
sara (walking away) : nothing!
text : we knew, that happiness wouldn't last too long! but, right now we want to 
become a happy couple. (setsuna embrace sara from behind) even if it's only this 
moment! I just want this short moment! (sara kiss setsuna) because god can't 
reach us, no one knows us! no one will despise us! we're probably sinners, but 
we are the happiest sinners in this world.
setsuna (smile) : it's sweet!
sara : heheh!

(a reporter supposedly on TV, but rociel is watching in his own way...)

reporter : this afternoon, an 18 year old boy was arrested at narita airport for 
waving a katana at the police and throwing firecrackers everywhere. he has 
confessed to the murder of the high school student in tokyo! details are being 
investigated.

(rociel closes the ball of light/TV, seems like he's in a depressing mood...)

kirie (come in) : rociel sama! excuse me... ! (rociel's asleep on the sofa...) 
ah! [he's asleep! rociel falls asleep too?]
text (kirie is really in love with rociel) : a little glassy, his hair with the 
shine of crystal... rose red lips, pearl soft skin. even though everyone up 
there are pretty, no matches my rociel. (putting a blanket on rociel)
rociel (a little awake) : hn... (push the blanket away) that's alright, katan!
kirie (shock and very mad) : [katan?]
rociel : oh... it's you, kirie? are you here to report your failure again, or to 
flatter me?
kirie : what!? i... I was only worried that you might catch a cold...
rociel : cold? worried that a immortal like me would catch a cold?
text : anger... he's angry! it's the first time rociel sama treated me so 
coldly!
kirie : please... please listen to me, rociel sama! if was all because the 
demon's dragon master interfered, that sara escaped! I didn't expect the dragon 
master to have been inherited!
rociel : demons? you were able to escape the power of the demons on your own?
katan (flashback of what he said to kirie) : [you're inexperienced.]
kirie : yes... yes! that's right! on my own!
rociel : ha! (pick out a rose from a vase) do you know? setsuna was suppose to 
be arrested, but that bastard kira took his place!! (rose disintegrates in his 
hand) it's all because you failed, setsuna is living happily with that woman! 
damn it! all my plans backfired! kirie, it's all your fault!
kirie (shock) : r... rociel sama! next time... next time I'll kill that girl!
rociel : forget it! (the vase next to kirie explodes from rociel's energy)
kirie : ah!
rociel : I'm in a very bad mood right now! leave now if you don't want to die 
here!
kirie : uh... yes! (runs out) [what should I do?]
text : what should I do? what do I have to do to sooth rociel sama's rage? what 
if he abandon me like this, if he sends me back up there...
rociel (flashback to the blanket scene) : that's alright... katan.
kirie : [it must be katan sama!]
text : no! I won't lose to him! I can't lose to him! I'll win back rociel sama's 
trust!
kirie : [I must...]

(rociel still lying on the sofa, almost painfully because he can feel what 
setsuna's doing...)

sara : setsuna... w... wait! setsuna... (they're in a hotel room... I wonder 
what they're doing... ^_^;;)
setsuna : I can't wait any longer! it's been 15 years! if I wait any longer, 
I'll turn into a fossil! (push sara onto the bed...)
text : what... what are we searching for?! (he kisses sara) this is... our 
sacred ceremony.

(sara's memory of when they were little kids, setsuna extends a hand to sara)

setsuna : [sara! (he's all bruises too...) I kicked that stupid dog's ass! are 
you alright? sara...]
sara (kiss him back) : [my heart hurts...]

(rociel suddenly sit up)

rociel : sister?
sara : [my heart...]
rociel (tearing up the sofa) : stop it! sister!
sara : [it really hurts!]
rociel (really in pain) : WHY? SISTER!
text : we are guilty... the worst yet happiest lambs--
setsuna (this is afterwards...) : are you crying? sara...
sara : we... can never return to the beginning. back then... I'm so scared! so 
worried... the sorrow and pain is attacking me in waves! and my tears falls... 
but... (setsuna wipes away her tears) [why are we so happy?] (she kiss him 
again)
text : why? (rociel lying on the sofa as feathers fall on him) sister...
rociel : [why are you torturing me like this?]

end of Verdict-Guilty, part 2

translator's note : if you know anything about the order of angels... then skip 
this... but as far as I know a lot of people gets really confused after this 
chapter... there are nine orders of angels... seraphim, cherubim, thrones, 
dominions, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels, and angel... seraphim is 
the highest, and metatron is their chief, so in a kingdom without god, he's in a 
sense the ruler of angels. since he's a little kid, sevotharte is like his 
guardian/prime minister at the same time... gabriel is the former chief of 
cherubim, zaphkiel is the chief of thrones, I don't think dominions were ever 
mentioned except somewhere in one of the side panels, yuki kaori said that 
rociel was a dominion... raphael is the chief of virutes... *don't make me 
laugh...* michael is the chief of powers, and supposedly in Christian sources, 
anael is the chief of principalities, but that's not what's in this story, so I 
don't know who's the chief of the principalities... maybe sariel??? anyway... 
there are seven archangels, metatron, sevotharte, zaphkiel, raphael, michael, 
gabriel, and uriel... four of them are also the elemental angels... not to get 
into that now... but I hope this clear things up a bit. and I will be scanning a 
very confusing diagram of all the characters in angel sanctuary soon... ^_^... 
confusing...

Angel Sanctuary - Assiah
Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 3

text : tenshi kinryouku (angel sanctuary)... everything began from this disc. in 
this computer infested world, it suddenly grew popular among teenagers, 
officials believe it's the cause behind all the death of those students who died 
while using their computer in tokyo. and sara's best friend saiki ruri was also 
involved, she became prettier and more attractive after she played the game, 
but... this thing, it's like... the attraction of a demon-- that strange 
radiance, a dangerous trap...
setsuna : probably on the night of the great tokyo blackout, ruri died, and 
someone took her body. that disgusting angel rociel...
sara (sad) : ruri...
setsuna : rociel doesn't really want to kill me, every move he makes... he's 
cornering me, to the point when I awaken.
sara : awaken...?
setsuna (stare at her funny) : eh... actually..
sara : ?
setsuna (kiss her) : I'm a dirty angel!
sara (shock... I think it's the kiss...) : !
setsuna (running away) : [hahah!]
people : [heheheh]
sara (furious) : didn't I tell you not to kiss me while your talking!? [you're 
not only dirty! how dare you in public...]
setsuna (smile) : I think her name is alexiel, she's a fallen angel because she 
betrayed got! those two dark skin people are demons who are here to find her 
reincarnation. and that would be me! what? sara, do you believe me?
sara : ...... I believe you, because I know setsuna has white wings... it's 
those wings that protected me every time! (a little setsuna standing in front of 
a little sara with these wing shaped light on his back) ... I've always known.
setsuna : but... there's one more thing, so listen closely! (stare at her) I 
killed someone! (sara shocked) i... I couldn't believe it myself, but there does 
exist another person inside of me! she killed kira sempai's friend back in 
school. that guy was taken over, just like ruri, by rociel... the only way to 
save him was to kill him! but it's still this body, these hands, that killed 
him... and spilled his blood! the police were after me at the airport! one day, 
soon, I'll get caught...
sara : NO! (hug him) I don't want to be separated from you again!
sestuna : me too... (hold her)
sara : i... I'll protect setsuna! this time, it's my turn... I'll protect you! 
(crying) I'll do anything to protect you! even if I commit a crime! if setsuna 
gets caught, I am guilty as well! because we're... already...
text (they sit on the stairs and setsuna embrace her) : yes! because we're...
sara : the two of us are one!
text : we're not suffering anymore! (setsuna kiss her) god! please abandon us! 
abandon us...

(back in the tokyo police station... they're still question kira... that's gonna 
be kinda hard...)

kira : it's true!
officer A : talk now! how did you get that katana?
kira : how many times do I have to tell you? (lighting a cigarette) are you 
stupid or something? didn't I tell you I found it on the street?
officer B (touch his pocket) : ! w... when did you take my cigarettes?
officer A : AH! and... you're using the lighter from the evidence bag!
officer B : you little bastard!

(outside, someone with high heels walk in, all the police are on the floor... 
unconscious.)

officer A : I'm gonna really have to teach you a lesson! get ready!

(arakune walks in)

officer A : huh? (falls slamming on the desk, his hand still on kira's shirt...)
kira (move back) : [huh---!? (turn around, and big smile) hi--] oh it's you! 
this is a surprise! sis, so how much?
arakune (really dressed like a whore...) : fool, I'm expensive! [how much are 
you willing to pay?] (the thing from her ring snaps back) I just put them to 
sleep for about twenty to thirty minutes. actually I could've killed them! 
kira : where's kurai today? (an image of a cat kurai...)
arakune : she has something to do at Anagura, you're just like her, so naïve! 
but I didn't expect you to sacrifice so much for him!
kira : ... eh! with myself, setsuna should be long gone, it seems like his life 
long wish finally came true.
arakune : what do you know?
kira (a little thoughtful) : ...i can see them! by the way, it's not because I 
want to see it! oh, someone else can see it too... that would be rociel...
arakune (shock) : ... [you can see?] who are you, really? (holding his katana)
kira (very funny expression) : huh? you got my sword!
arakune : yeah! I dug it up from a pile of evidence.
kira : then, just keep it. that sword has been with me since my last 
incarnation, it's been very helpful. (lean back)
arakune : last incarnation... when you were fighting alongside alexiel?
kira : no! because I was spilled with rociel's blood, I became an indestructible 
spirit. I came to assiah alone to look for alexiel.
text : before she was setsuna, she has existed as many different people in 
different eras. [with the same face.] each time when I find her, I chose someone 
close to her and protect her. in her every reincarnation, she died painfully 
when she was very young, her spirit and flesh tortured and broken... everything 
has been set! it was the punishment for the fallen angel alexiel who betrayed 
god.
kira : it was terrible, she was lynched, burned at the stake as a witch, or 
chopped up by a serial killer, every time, the pain... [the wheel of mobius...] 
I got that sword in her previous incarnation before "setsuna"...
text : back then, alexiel was a young prostitute at a brothel.
prostitute : you want to sell the shiranui!? (that katana...) but isn't that 
your family treasure? the shogun gave it to your ancestors...
samurai : I need a lot of money... no matter what... I'll free you! didn't you 
tell me you liked me? was it all a lie?
prostitute : no... it wasn't a lie! but the young master here would never say 
yes, many of my frequent clients are important people, and you're still too 
young... I've always felt that I'm waiting for someone here...
samurai : who? who is it? (grab her) your lover?
prostitute : no... I don't love anyone else!
samurai (smile) : really? the past oirans cut off their last finger and gives it 
to their lovers, if you really love me, then prove it!
prostitute : it's true... I never lied to you...

(she takes out a knife and about to cut herself, the guy throws away the knife 
and hug her.)

samurai : I lied! I don't want your finger! just you... I just want you!
text : that boy from a fallen samurai family was not her client, their love 
could not be publicized... they've decided to elope, one night-- but they were 
caught...

(men running after them, the samurai guy gets killed as the prostitute watches 
in shock)

samurai : AHHHH!
prostitute : [they... really killed him!]
young master : what a fool, (grabs the girl with him) come! you're mine!

(suddenly he's something like electrocuted...)

young master : AHHHH!
men : t... that woman is a witch! her eyes are glowing... she's a monster!
text : she's had special powers ever since she was young, so her villagers sold 
her to the brothel.
men : that bitch killed the young master! go get the master! don't let her get 
away! catch her, and beat her to death! (she runs away)
text (a little girl appear before the dead samurai) : I used the appearance of 
my last incarnation to talk to him. exchange our contract like usual... I heard 
his last wish... but I couldn't understand him.

(the spirit enters the samurai's body, now that guy has the blood mark on his 
chest)

text : I'm different from those lost fools. I knew immediately where alexiel 
was! (he enters a little abandoned hut)
prostitute : it's you! I don't believe it! why? (he kneels and embrace her) 
oh... no... we can't! please run away! it's over for me... my foot... is hurt! 
I've heard before that if a prostitute runs away with a man, when she gets 
caught, she's be brought in front of the master and chopped into pieced then 
thrown into the river... that river always has faceless and unidentified bodies 
floating all the time...
text : my... last wish! tell her I love her! with my lips, my body, my heart... 
please comfort her! (kira kisses the girl)
prostitute : oh... why did I just realize... you're the one... I've always been 
waiting for! have you been looking for me... always? we... have finally met...

(then they take their cloth off and those some stuff... not to disturb them... 
^_^;;... anyway... sometime later, when they're done...)

text : soon, the men after her are closing in. if she gets caught again, then 
she'll have another horrible death. the wheel of fortune from god will never 
stop turning! (kira gets up) then, I would rather... without any pain, with my 
hands, (draws his katana) severe the wheel--
alexiel : you're really sweet man. kill me! (kira is surprised)
text : alexiel...
alexiel (crying, but smiling, she sits up) : ... up until now, not a single 
person ever defied god... for me... (kneeling in front of him, ready to die) 
come! so that we can meet again...

(kira kills her, but he's also crying)

text : the tears that flowed... how does warmth feel on my cheeks? (men finding 
them) I really don't know, alexiel! I can't understand why that man wanted 
things to end this way... after so many lives, I experienced it so many times, 
but why does it still hurt my heart... why am I still in such pain... I really 
don't know! at that moment, I killed all the pursuers! when our contract ended, 
I left that boy's body. but the shiranui has chosen me as its master, and 
followed me since.
kira : this sword absorbed the blood from a few thousand virtuous monks, and 
learned to chose its master. after that... to make it easier to carry around in 
this body, I sealed it in the blood mark.
arakune (listening intensely to his story, and smoking...) : hn...
kira : now that I think about it, I never really saved alexiel once. if I leave 
setsuna, he'll experience the same fate... no matter what the cost, I'll stop 
that from happening!
arakune : then... do you understand the meaning of human tears? [fool! what 
you've done already saved that prostitute!]
kira : eh... just a little... (taking a cigarette from arakune) I'm taking my 
time to think it through here. after all, I've been a human for eleven years! 
(sit back and relax)

(sara and setsuna wandering on the streets, kirie watches from above)

sara (pulls setsuna over) : setsuna! look over there!
kirie : [aren't you having fun... mudou sara!]
rociel (in that cold tone of voice) : [kirie! it was all your fault! leave if 
you don't want to die here!]
kirie (about to attack) : [rociel sama, just watch!]
katan (grab her hand from behind) : so it doesn't matter to you that you involve 
innocent people? (kirie turn around in shock) the teaching up there are a little 
too violent!
kirie (blush) : what about you!? how long will you stay here? are you ignoring 
rociel sama's order?
katan : I still need to do something... and I'm worried about you!
kirie : don't underestimate me! [I'm different from all those other 
understudies!] are you observing me so you can tell rociel sama about my 
failures? to regain rociel sama's affections?
katan (laugh) : heheh!
kirie (pissed off) : w... what's so funny? [holy shit!]
katan : rociel sama only sees himself! no... perhaps the one he loves... is not 
himself, but his other image... you seem to have a really deep misunderstanding 
with me, I'll just tell you! kirie... i... I am rociel's son!
kirie (shock) : [rociel's son?]

(setsuna and sara walking on the street, and they see a TV showing news inside a 
store window)

reporter : --- the suspect is a teenager who's also involved in illegal actives 
along with the victim katou. they fought over a small incident, and he killed 
katou with an origin unknown katana, then buried the body with a lighter in the 
school yard!
sara (setsuna is shocked) : setsuna? what's wrong?
reporter : the reason why he dropped firecrackers in the narita airport is still 
unknown. the police are also investigating the origin of the katana.
police (back at setsuna's house) : do you recognize this lighter?
setsuna : I think I saw it somewhere before...

(that lighter... and setsuna remembers...)

setsuna : [the lighter... of course! it's senpai's! kira senpai is taking my 
place...]

(total shock...)

Angel Sanctuary - Assiah
Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 4

setsuna : [kira senpai was arrested in my place! I didn't know, and I'm living 
in this strange place with my sister happily... how can that be...]
text : kira senpai!
sara (seriously) : let's go back! setsuna.
setsuna (turn around) : sara...
sara : setsuna, return to tokyo! maybe you'll ruin his plans this way... but 
won't you feel really bad if we stayed here?
setsuna : sara... really... can we go back?
sara : ... yes!
setsuna : isn't it too dangerous? if mother finds us, we'll be separated 
again...
sara : actually, I am scared, but I know, brother and i... we'll never give up! 
we won't be separated again, even if we part again, as long as we are alive, we 
can meet again.
text : sara's words repeats in my mind...it's like a spell of self 
reexamination.
sara : no matter what happens, I won't change my mind, no one can stop me!
text : trying so hard to convince ourselves... with her trembling little 
fingers...
setsuna : yes... didn't you tell me I have wings that protect you?
text : I'm just the same...
sara : of course!
text : also very scared!
sara : but I also said before, it's my turn to protect setsuna! (leaning on his 
shoulder) did you know? girls have wings too...
text : no matter where we run, the dark shadows would follow...
sara : protective wings that she only shows to the one she loves...
text : they would devour us anytime.
sara : I'll try my best to protect setsuna, you can rest safely in my wings...
text : that deep felt pain... from sara's prayers...
sara : when we wake up from our dream, we'll find that everything was a dream! 
all the nightmares will be over...

(kirie takes katan to a well hidden abandoned building.)

kirie : no one will interrupt us here, now what did you mean when you said that 
you were rociel sama's son? it's forbidden for angels to have children, even 
rociel sama will be heavily punished!
katan : yes... "child" is not exactly the correct description, allow me to 
explain! the absolute hierarchy in heaven... starting with the seraphim led by 
rociel sama, to my cherubim rank, thrones, dominions... and finally the ninth 
rank of angels. but you should know about the long forgotten rank even lower 
than the angels called gurigol. kirie, I was once a gurigol. (kirie is shocked) 
... what? are you afraid of being mocked for talking to a lowly being like me? 
(smile)
kirie : that's not it! you're lying! gorigols are fleshless spirits! how did you 
become a cherubim?
katan : in the ancient times,,,
text : gorigols had flesh just like humans, and worked by the orders of the 
higher ranks. but they couldn't stand temptation and often bore demon children 
with humans, an endless sin... their actions enraged god, the creator punished 
them to become fleshless spiritual entities.
katan : you probably knew all that. even though they can't be seen, but they're 
always in the atmosphere around, their job is to accept the energy angels emit 
and carry out the mission through their elements. but those short lives end as 
they accomplish one task, even if it was only for the boredom of angels or they 
were trying to hide certain things...
kirie : of course I know that! but that's the reason they exist! so they also 
don't have enough intelligence to understand whether they should've died!
katan (her comment makes him suddenly very scary... enraged, I guess) : yes... 
they've never realized their unfortunate fate! but... kirie, even these humble 
and insignificant angels... they would still feel pain when they get hurt! 
(kirie is shocked by his sudden change) that's what you don't know... kirie! we, 
without a voice, has one last scream before we die! that's the only cry a 
gorigol makes in its life! kirie, of course you've never noticed... of course! 
no one noticed... only one person notices... only him!
text : among the suppressed gorigols, there were still a few intelligent 
mutations, just like me...
katan (back when he was a gorigol) : [I don't want to listen to those cries 
anymore! but why... why do we have to die for their games? why? why do we exist 
in the first place?]
rociel : hmm... that's exactly what I've been wondering.
text : suddenly a voice answered my call, I thought it was god. I didn't know 
why, but he gave a very strong radiance, a spiritual light, a electro-magnetic 
wave. brilliance flooded his body.
rociel : it must mean something to have an intelligence in you! fine then... so, 
I'll just give you a chance to find out!
text : I stood paralyzed in awe of his divine presence.
rociel : the elements that surrounds us,
text : Aerial
rociel : how kind, how loving... 
text : Norm
rociel : their hatred and sorrow, 
text : Andione
rociel : the wish from spirits to return home.
text : Maniquin
rociel : you... must understand... you must feel it for yourself.
text : Shierf
rociel : I'll show you, 
text : light! I could only see light--
rociel : the rarely known truth!

(a child is born, his heart is beating.)

katan (falls down) : [what?] ! [what's happening?]
rociel : this is the pain of flesh. from now on, you will bleed when you're 
hurt, you can speak, and soon your eyes will be able to see. come! breath! this 
is the smell of grass! the stream of life! this is the truth, just like you-- 
alive!
katan : [w... what happened?]
rociel : I guess you'll be a boy! in the current world, it's harder for girls to 
survive...
katan : [I have a gender?]
rociel : oh, you need a name to register, then...
katan : [name?]
rociel : the one who guides, I'll name you katan!
katan (cute when he's a boy) : k... [he gave that nameless me a name...] katan?
rociel : well said! such a beautiful voice!
text : so... so easily he created a miracle like god!
katan : w.. wait! who are you?
rociel : if you want to know, then come to Etenamenki on Atziluth! then you can 
hate me or thank me, it's your choice! (smile) I'll be waiting, the child of 
god-- katan!
katan : Ah...! [etenamenki on atziluth? isn't that the temple? that's the eden 
of the creator's most loved angels! then that was an angel!] (a few years later) 
after that, I worked very hard. at that time, I knew the ruler of the entire 
heaven was rociel sama, I learned so much just to have the opportunity to become 
a high order angel to enter atziluth, so I can thank rociel sama. [finally I 
became one of the best ST understudies, and my wish came true.] (walking down a 
hall) !
angel (teacher/mentor type) : what's wrong? katan!
katan : [that man! (running toward rociel) he looks about twenty five or six in 
human standards, the crystal shine of his hair... and the bright radience...] 
rociel sama!
angel : hey!
katan : d... do you remember me? it's me! you gave me my body and flesh...
rociel (slap/whip katan) : who is this? an officer must state his name and rank 
before his superior! don't you know your manners?
katan : [rociel sama...]
angel : oh! rociel sama, I apologize, he's only a young understudy.
katan (at a loss) : [he... he doesn't remember me...]
rociel : rules are still rules! I can't forgive him even if he's an understudy. 
especially when this is atziluth, I will not tolerate such rude manners on this 
holy ground. come! I'll teach you a lesson!
katan : uh... y... yes! (getting up) [of course! he's so noble and unreachable, 
why would he still remember such a pathetic gorigol like me... maybe it was only 
a sudden interest... (enter a room along with rociel) then... what happens to 
all my hard work? why did I do so much...]
rociel (holding the whip) : close your eyes and give me your hands! (katan took 
that seriously) did you really believed that I would whip you? katan! (kiss him 
on the cheek, katan's eyes are wide open in a very CUTE shocked look...) you're 
such a bad boy!
katan (back slamming up against the wall) : [katan?] *^%#!#@%$~~~~!?
rociel (laugh) : katan, you've grown! you shouldn't have told that secret in the 
open... you won't become a successful officer that way!
katan (blush, a little hurt) : b... b... because... all my hard work was so that 
I can see rociel sama! [even though I'm really happy that you still remember me, 
you didn't have to trick me like that!] so... so I got a little excited...
rociel (sigh) : back then, I only wanted to give you a reason to live... but I 
didn't know you were so serious! you're indeed my child, katan.
kirie : your story is inconsistent! that happened a few hundred years ago, so 
why did rociel sama look older back then? he appears to be at most sixteen or 
seventeen right now!
katan (pondering) : yes, why... does he appear like that?
kirie : do you want me to believe something that you can't even explain? I don't 
care how close you are to rociel sama, my feelings won't change! I will 
accomplish my missions!
katan : forget it... you really are a stubborn one... then let me put it this 
way, you won't be able to kill mudou sara! (kirie not happy to hear that) 
setsuna won't allow you to touch her!
kirie : then I'll kill setsuna!
katan : I use to consider that option... but it's too dangerous, I suggest you 
give up now.
kirie : [ha!] you're scared? I'm different! every one of rociel sama's enemies 
are mine also! (fly away) if you have so much time to lecture me about it, I 
suggest you reallocate them to do something for the one you love!
katan : kirie!
kirie : no more interference from you!
katan (doesn't chase after her though) : kirie!
kirie (leaving, with her memory coming back) : [what... I've experienced so much 
pain before!]
understudies : a girl became a ST trainee before us? probably seduced the 
superior officer... it's easy for women!
text : in heaven, love is absolutely forbidden... a few female angels were 
charged with seduction and punished. even though some fallen angels use their 
bodies as a temptation, I worked myself to get to where I am! so when rociel 
sama spoke to me, it was like...
rociel : that is part of your attractiveness! men are afraid of your beauty and 
stays away from you.
text : a dream!
rociel : but I'm different, I'll tell you truthfully... you're very pretty!
text : that great and noble angel...
rociel : kirie, I want to create a world for the two of us, where I can tell you 
truthfully that I love you.
text : he said...
rociel : for our world... our secret love, would you help me?
text (kirie falls for rociel) : he loves me!
kirie : yes... i...
text : can't-- ever go back!
kirie (covering her face) : [I won't be able to live if rociel sama hates me!]
katan : troublesome girl... [yes... I've always followed rociel sama's orders 
before. but why can't I not abandon kirie? and... I'm feeling that rociel sama 
is calling me...]
text : just like that time...
katan (flashback) : rociel sama!
rociel (on the balcony) : katan? what is it? how did you know I was here?
katan : well... [uh...] I thought I felt rociel sama was crying...
rociel (really sad) : hahah... perhaps a part of me remains in your body from 
the time I created you... katan, I have a twin sister... but by the order of the 
creator, she is forbidden to come near etenamenki... we are the opposites of 
positive and negative, we can't exist in the same place at the same time, we 
can't meet or touch. heheh... she seems to really hate me-- the one who 
possesses all of god's love... she hates... me...
katan : rociel sama! (rociel kneeling on the floor and katan comforts him) 
[right now, I can feel it... rociel sama... alone-- he's probably crying 
somewhere...] (katan looks so sad)
rociel : sister... see... the smell of blood! do you know? yes... everything is 
all your fault! [this world will soon bleed for you... alexiel...]

(in the demon palace, arakune reports the day's story to kurai)

kurai : uh... arakune, so you talked to kira? [as you dressed up just for 
him...]
arakune : I don't think he lied to me, now all there is left is the mystery of 
that blood mark. when alexiel stabbed rociel on etenamenki... they shouldn't be 
the only ones there! [so why is he the only one who was sprayed with rociel's 
blood?]
jade : that man... is not our enemy! master!
kurai : jade! (surprised the dragon spoke up.)
jade : at least not for now! he killed alexiel's incarnation in the past life, 
and changed the entire situation! the future may be altered. that would explain 
why I cannot see a clear path...
kurai : [hey! I can't be depressed at such an important time...]
jade : but just now, I clearly saw that... heaven has chosen the day for tokyo 
to collapse, the end of Assiah is in the year 1999, july X.
kurai (counting) : july X, 1999... uh... today is july... (shock) HEY! ISN'T 
THAT TOMORROW--? [tomorrow... it's tomorrow! the day tokyo collapses also means 
that setsuna... the day that setsuna dies!]

(in heaven, sevotharte comforts metatron)

metatron : tomorrow... there will be many... many people... to die... 
everyone... everyone will die! it's true! sevi... I'm so scared... I'm so 
scared! sevi!
sevotharte : don't worry! I'm here, I'll be with you, metatron! you... can hide 
here safely! I won't leave you! forever... there's nothing to be scared of, in 
assiah... everything that happen has been determined! the judgment of the lord-- 
is always righteous... everything was initiated by the sins of that fallen 
angel, mudou setsuna... and the rest... only god knows.

(in a hotel, setsuna and sara will return to tokyo)

sara : we're going back tomorrow on the first ride...
setsuna : yeah...
text : why...
sara : if we fall asleep, tomorrow will be here...
text : there's something stuck in my chest...
setsuna : ... yeah!
text : perhaps the more I run, that chain--- will only bond closer and tighter! 
(kira sitting in his cell) I really wish that...
setsuna : [tomorrow would never come! I really wish...] (everyone anticipates 
the arrival of tomorrow)

Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 5

text : july, 1999
kid A : have you heard? some guy named nostra something said the earth will be 
destroyed soon!
kid B : is that from some game? if the main character dies, you can just start 
over!
text : the terror falls from above--
kid A : no! it's a real prophecy!
kid B : don't worry! if you lose, just start over!
kid A : I told you it's not a game!
kid B : then what are you talking about? don't confuse me!
text : falls......
kid A : wow! that's a huge bird!
kid B : really? i didn't see it!
text : falling--
kid A : it's truth! I saw a human size bird!
kid B : really?
setsuna : read rain? (little pieces fall on him) [no! it's stone! red stone 
pieces falling!]

(setsuna flying around in his dream state with angel wings)

setsuna : that light... it's so pretty! but it's too beautiful... it makes me a 
little sad... why? why am I sad? [strange, where is this place? why is it so 
dark? (follow the light) ah! there's light ahead! (a kid sitting in front of a 
computer) who's this little kid?]
metatron : welcome, I'm playing a game. look, the main character's name is 
setsuna, where should we go now? or maybe quit? if setsuna dies, then the game 
is over. everyone will die!
screen : GAME OVER
metatron (with his bunny) : but it's alright, I can start over! no matter how 
many times, I can always start from the beginning again, just like nothing 
happened!
setsuna : [no!] kid... no! if you chose your path, you can never turn back! it's 
your only chance, you can't start over again!
metatron : wrong! forget it, I just want to start over! (typical brat) I'll be 
very mad if I don't!
setsuna : [no! don't erase me! (metatron press the button)] AHHH! (falling) 
[huh? I'm alright... where am I?]

(setsuna falls/enters kira's room/cell, kira gets up.)

setsuna : sempai!
kira : only your spirit flew here... your first time... setsuna...? but don't 
come back to tokyo! don't even think about coming back for me! if you do, I'll 
kill you!
setsuna (tears streaming down his cheeks) : i... remember now... it's you... 
during the long journey... you're the one who's always protected me!
kira (smile) : ...too late! heartless one!
setsuna (crying) : [how... how can I forget?]
kira : you're dreaming, setsuna.
setsuna : [how can I not remember?]
kira : when you wake up from your dream, you will forget me again! but that's 
fine, just think about sara now. (setsuna appears so sad) even if you forget me, 
I'll never forget you. it was my free will to follow you. so don't worry about 
it... see, (try to touch his face) I can't touch you like this. we always miss 
each other, even though I found you in your past lives, you've never paid 
attention to me. and when you do... it's always been too late! don't... show 
that look! (embrace setsuna, sort of... who's really sad...) even though I can't 
touch you, I can still feel your warmth. I'm alright... I died for you long ago 
in the battle with rociel! but I still exist unexpectedly! (push setsuna away) 
sara will be waking up any minute now, return! return to the one who's waiting 
for you... [i... I'm alright...] (they part)
sara (waking up) : uh... you're awake! setsuna... (he's crying) what's wrong?
setsuna : I don't know... I think I had a really sad dream... a very important 
dream! but when I woke up, I forgot everything...
sara : ... yes! that reminds me of a movie...
setsuna (sweatdrop) : what?
sara : this couple were cursed by some evil force, the girl turns into a hawk in 
day and the boy turns into a beast at night... in that movie... even though 
their lover was right by their side, they could never embrace... even though 
they are always together, they can't meet as humans... always missing each 
other... [as long as the spell is not broken, they can never touch...]
setsuna : that dream... is just like the movie...
sara (surprised) : ! setsuna! look!
text : forget when I awaken.

(feathers falling... the whole bed is full of feathers...)

text : but it's something I wouldn't even forget in death!

(kirie in some abandon factory testing out her new weapon on models... shoot, 
and they fall to pieces)

kirie : not bad for a spirit gun... it condenses my aura and shoots it out to 
destroy the materialistic bonds in an instant. my powers will be temporary 
nullified... but at a short distance, it won't fail! tomorrow, you will meet the 
same fate as these models! (evil gleam) mudou sara...

(setsuna and sara embark on the voyage to return to tokyo)

text : while in an unexplained anxiety, we are on our way back to tokyo. really, 
I don't know if it's the right decision...
guy : miss, where are you from? wanna come with me?
setsuna : [picking up girls again! they have nothing better to do!]
kirie : no! (turn around and spot setsuna)
setsuna : [huh?]
kirie (handing on to him) : oh, you're finally here!
setsuna (shock) : AH?
kirie : it's all your fault, I was so worried!
guy : what? she's got a boyfriend! I better get out of here!
kirie : great! I'm saved!
setsuna : [congratulations!] now you can get off of me.
sara (jealousy kicks in) : SETSUNA? who is that... girl?
setsuna (he's hopeless) : this girl was getting harassed by some guy...
kirie : yeah! this guy's been harassing me, all this time!
setsuna (sweating) : WHAT?
kirie : why are you asking me out when you've got a girl friend, are you 
breaking up?
setsuna : AH (scared of sara) UH! don't lie! I just helped you! [some other guy 
was harassing you!]
kirie : [you're scaring me!]
sara : setsuna, what's going on? why are you always~~~
setsuna : I didn't! she made that up!

(later, they sit together eating at mcdonalds...)

kirie (big smile) : oh! please don't be mad, I apologized. my name is enjyou 
kirie, please eat all you want!
setsuna (vein, guess he's still pissed) : ha! I'm getting my share back!
sara (smile) : [is it alright?]
kirie (a little sad) : because I saw you two were so happy... I was a little 
jealous... so I played a little trick on you. (smile) I ran away from home... 
for my lover!
setsuna : what?
kirie : i... you should know just by the looks of me that I came from a 
traditional family,
setsuna (thinking) : ... (sweatdrop)
kirie : so I've been educated in the strictest fashion... my family forced me to 
leave my secret lover! he was sent to live in tokyo alone, but he used an alias 
and wrote me several letters. but recently, I haven't received anything... I am 
so worried about him, I lied to my family saying that I was going to school, and 
I came to tokyo alone... but, I don't really know my way around... and met that 
really weird guy... I'm so scared! actually, my boyfriend looks like setsuna... 
I envy you two when I saw you were so happy... I'm sorry.
sara : no... that's alright! (nudge) right? setsuna?
setsuna : [do you really believe her?]
sara (smile) : it really takes courage to come to tokyo alone, your boyfriend 
must really be something! but he really looks like setsuna? what a coincidence!
kirie (remember rociel) : uh... yes, really alike... they're like twins... so 
similar! (sad)
sara (over enthusiastic) : oh! the address on this letter is not that far from 
here, we'll help you!
setsuna : what? hey! sara!
kirie : thank you, you're really kind people.
setsuna (whisper) : hey... hey, sara, you actually believe that strange story? 
and we're also in a hurry!
sara : please! we'll just help her out a little bit! I can tell from her eyes... 
that her love is really painful! I can understand her!
kirie : let's go!
setsuna (scratching his head) : huh? [but I thought...] you're hand is wrapped 
in bandages, are you hurt? (kirie slaps his hand away) [that girl...]
kirie : yeah... it hurts when you touch it! but it's not serious, don't worry 
about it.
setsuna : [I feel... a strange animosity from her!]

(at the police station, kira's dad is there to see his son)

officer : Mr. Kira, please come in!
kira : dad...
father : right now... I need to go to Hokkaido, because of your incident... 
they're a bit hesitant... but... I'll be back soon. if you really killed that 
guy... I must apologize to that boy too! if you're guilty, and I am too for 
raising you. sakuya... let's get through this together!
kira (stare at him for a while, and smiles in that same carefree manner) : damn 
it... that's impossible! can't you understand? didn't I make it very clear last 
time? I'm not the real kira sakuya! you're real son didn't commit any crimes! 
you don't need to feel responsible!
father : sakuya?
kira (gets up) : seems you just won't understand no matter how I say it.
officer : hey! don't do anything stupid!
kira (cracks the two way mirror on the wall with his fist) : I'll just have to 
show you!
officers (in the other room) : AH! the mirror broke! damn it!
father : why did you do that... sakuya... (kira's hand is bleeding) ah! you're 
bleeding! let me see your wounds!
kira (faintly smile) : wounds? ha... what wounds? (his hand is perfectly normal)
officer : !
kira : now do you understand that I'm a monster? as long as I'm here, this body 
will never die! even though the blood I bleed can't be taken back, but as long 
as there are more blood, I can regenerate! I'm a spirit, I took his body when 
your son kira sakuya died... which means, we're total strangers! Mr. kira... 
look at this blood mark on my chest! kira sakuya didn't have that before he was 
seven! that's my mark... the proof of my existence!
father : l... lies! I don't believe your tricks! no matter what you say, you're 
my son!
kira (pick up a glass piece) : tricks? (slash his wrist, the blood spill on his 
father)
father : !
kira (the wound heals) : was that a trick?
father : ahhhhhhh!
kira (smile) : see... are you disgusted? do you hate me now? (the police 
restraining him) yes! hate me! hate me that I've fooled you for eleven years! go 
on to Hokkaido or wherever you're going! now! don't ever return to tokyo! (taken 
back to his cell) I don't want to see you face! I hate to pretend to be your 
son! (the old man falls in depression) [I'm sorry, father! i... it's the only 
way. hurry... leave tokyo!]
father : sakuya... no...
kira : [please forget about me! and begin a new life! i... and the sakuya inside 
me will pray for your happiness...]
father : please don't take anything away from me anymore...

(outside an abandon factory)

setsuna : that's the address on the letter... but sara... it seems like a 
factory.
sara : anyone here? (kick an arm) ah!

(the whole factory is filled with models...)

setsuna : what... what is this? (scratch his head with a model hand)
sara : [throw that arm away! it's disturbing!]
setsuna : a model factory? (take the letter) you two wait here! I'll go ask 
around.
sara (comfort kirie) : don't worry! I'm sure he just wrote it wrong.
kirie : that's alright... (sees the ring) ... sara, what's the stone on your 
ring?
sara : huh, this? sorry, it's only a toy ring! but it's... (so gentle) the first 
present setsuna gave me, has a lot of value to me... it's more important than 
any diamond rings, it's my treasure!
setsuna (outside) : excuse me... please! is this the same address on this 
letter?
stranger : letter?
setsuna (reach into his pocket) : oh, here... (feathers fall out) [that girl's 
letter... turned into feathers?]
kirie (unwrapping her arm) : yes... anything from your lover... appears to be a 
treasure! such... innocent... and naïve ideas! I'll just send you to heaven... 
in your happiness! (completely unwrapped)
kirie (point the weapon at sara) : this is the end! mudou sara!

Act III: Verdict-Guilty, Part 6

(kirie smiling evilly with her shooting thingy pointed at sara)

kirie : don't trust people so easily!
sestuna (rush in) : wait! you bitch! did rociel send you?
kirie (turn her head) : eh! you're too late! (shoot)
sara (wave her hand to block) : ahhhh!

(the light from the window reflects off her hand onto kirie's face)

kirie (cover her eyes) : !
setsuna : [now!] (jump and push kirie down)
kirie : AHH!
setsuna (examine kirie on the floor) : she's unconscious...
sara : setsuna... such power... it's good that now this place is more 
ventilated. I can't believe kirie-- she really is...
setsuna : you saw it yourself!
sara : you saved me again... setsuna.
setsuna : at that instant... she seems to hesitated.
sara : oh! that's because... the ring you gave me reflected light in her face.
setsuna (smile) : really...
sara (laugh) : yeah! the ring saved me! (but she sees kirie)
kirie (getting up) : I won't... allow any interference! I won't allow you do 
interfere, mudou setsuna!

(she shoots that thing at setsuna, setsuna turns around but it's too late)

sara : SETSUNA! (blood spills)

(sara stood in front of setsuna and blocked it. she falls on to him.)

text : slowly falling... the red...

(her ring broke into pieces. setsuna at that moment looks so helplessly sad.)

sara : [brother... brother... brother... brother...]
setsuna (everything flashes by) : sara, you don't really have to cry just 
because you fell.
sara : but my kimono got dirty... mom'll be so mad~~~
setsuna : well, it's your fault! (covering his ears) [just shut up...] stop 
crying! it's getting annoying! I'm leaving now! [the market fair's gonna be over 
soon]
setsuna : brother... (crying, setsuna left...) brother~~~ huh~~~

(a hand in her face with that red stone ring)

setsuna : here! it's your favorite red stone, this was expensive! I saved the 
money from the goldfish game, so stop crying!
sara (putting it on) : huh? why is it so big? am I suppose to wear it on my 
thumb? strange...
setsuna (running away) : that damn old guy at the market! I'll go exchange it!
sara (stop him) : brother! that's alright! sara likes this red stone. (setsuna 
blush) I really like it! (smile)
text : one day, I will wear this red stone ring... and become a happy bride!
setsuna (sara lies in blood) : ... sara? SARA!
text (little setsuna...) : does it hurt? where does hurt? sara?
sara : b... brother... (spits blood) it hurts... it really hurts... brother, I'm 
so scared... (raise her hand) what can I do... the ring... broke... it won't 
do... without that ring... I'm sorry... the ring brother game me... (setsuna 
just stares at her, still in trauma... sara smiles) I guess I won't do... can 
we... be happy... like this? [I wish you can be happy... forever...] (close her 
eyes)
sara : [don't worry, setsuna, we will never separate. as long as we live, we'll 
meet again! (sara smiling at him)]
setsuna : lies... only a lie?
text (smile) : as long as... we're alive...
setsuna (shake her violently) : hey! open your eyes! sara! don't fool around! 
wake up! 
text : as long as we're alive...
setsuna (crying, screaming) : please don't! WAKE UP-- wake up... I beg you, 
please wake up... (crying, holding sara's body.) why... (the shirt on his back 
is torn) why... (kirie is stunned, I don't think she knows what she got herself 
into...) why... (something coming out)
kirie : huh?
setsuna : WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

(full feathered wings tear through his shirt and appear on his back. kirie is 
paralyzed from the light he emits)

kirie : AHHH! [his pulse has such... frightening energy! n... no! I can't move 
my body...] (caught in the light) ahhhh!
katan (voice from above) : kirie!
kirie : !
katan (appear from a whirl pool) : take my hand now!
kirie (looks up in surprise) : katan! i... I don't need you to help me!
katan : fool! can't you get it? rociel sama summoned an important understudy 
like you because he planned from the very beginning to abandon you after you've 
lived your usefulness! if you can just listen, take my hand! or else I'll be 
trapped here too!
kirie : ... liar! (crying in shock) you're lying! he said he loved me... rociel 
sama... (scream) LIAR!
katan (reaching for kirie) : KIRIE--! (but she's already caught in the 
explosion) [kirie...] ! [that's... he's... (tears flowing down setsuna's cheeks) 
that's alexiel?] (setsuna looks at him) ! (half of katan's body is torn apart) 
[rociel sama!] (fall)
text (flashback to when he was a little kid, rociel smiling at him) : perhaps 
it's because there are traces of me still remaining inside of you from the time 
you were created... the child of god-- katan!
katan (falling) : [rociel sama...]

(kira suddenly stands up with a very serious/fierce expression.)

officer : kira, what's wrong? you feel like talking now?
kira : ...get down!
officer : huh? what the hell are you talking about?
kira : I told you to get down! moron! forget it! it's too late anyway!
officers : ... what? huh? (light, then explosion)

(raziel rushes in to zaphkiel's office in heave)

raziel : zaphkiel sama! assiah...

(zaphkiel looks out the window without answering)

kurai : w... what's going on? such power... (riding on the dragon over tokyo) 
the buildings... tokyo is engulfed in a ball of light!
michael (maybe, can't really tell?) : heheh!

(somebody else that looks like raphael, though I can't really see his face, and 
metatron is sitting on his throne, holding his bunny, one of the few times he 
looks serious)

metatron : [die!]

(the buildings fall apart, and setsuna is crying as sara falls down, time seems 
to stop.)

kira (who can sense what's going on even though he's not there) : setsuna! 
sara... died... she died for you...? I didn't know there was another person who 
would give up their life to change your destiny!

(setsuna's pendant breaks from his sudden energy blast, and as the pendant 
breaks, kira's body is wounded as well, he falls down bleeding)

kira (in pain) : can't you even hear my voice? rage and hatred made you lose 
your mind... do you want to... kill me once more...? DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY THIS 
WORLD? SETSUNA--!

(setsuna's energy explodes over tokyo)
