Tenshi Kinryouku [Angel Sanctuary] :: Yuki Kaori VOLUME 6 :: translated by kamiya shuusai :: :: volume 05 :: SC 1 :: SC 2 :: SC 3 :: SC 4 :: SC 5 :: SC 6 :: volume 07 :: Digital Angel volume 06 section 01 Angel Sanctuary - Hades Act III : Cruel Bondage, Part 1 text (a young man holding another dead man and crying) : the brothers in eden------ their world is only god alone. god likes abel and hates cain. sad cain, painful cain. strikes out the blade of jealousy at his brother, becoming the very first murderer. god was furious and marked him with sin and cast him out of eden. "my lord, I ask you. why don't you love me?" uriel : ~what alexiel wants... is a completely forbidden love for angels.~ text : "oh, my lord." uriel : ~she loves that one who has ruled over everything since the beginning of the world. the one who created this world, the highest existence of this world------~ text : -----"please answer me"------ uriel : ~she loves the creator...~ setsuna (shock) : [god...!!?] uriel : ~...i don't know if god knows your feelings... but I do know he only deeply loves your twin brother rociel. text : "god, why do you only love abel? why won't I do? you made me kill my brother!" uriel : ~and everything goes out of control from there... do you remember? alex.~ (setsuna looks very disturbed) text : alexiel-sama was not allowed to live in the temple of creation. you are twins but why is god only obsessed with rociel-sama? ---yes. I am--- uriel : ~yes... you do understand, then kill me... yes... my confession has ended. with no one else but your hands... carry out my execution......!~ text : I am... setsuna (a hand over his mouth) : uh... text : unwanted by god, the child of god. (he could even see that cruel smile on rociel's face) rociel : [hn? pitiful alexiel. do you hate me? your beloved master only sees me, he only wants me!] setsuna : uhhh...! text : oh, my lord, you are cruel. rociel : [not you, it's me!] text : I only... (setsuna stands over uriel with the big scythe... raise his hand... and strikes) setsuna : AHHHHHHH text : ------wished you could love me------ (and... the scythe lands centimeters away from uriel's neck...) setsuna : repeatedly and repeatedly, unchanged no matter how many rebirths... every time to die in a tragic fate...! that is horrible...!! I can't get over it no matter how many times I kill you. but... (drop the scythe and shrug) it's all in the past. you can't do anything about something that's already done, right? katou (sweatdrop, *very cute face ^.^) : [again... you stole my line.] uriel (jump up) : ~alex...! impossible...!! how can you joke about something like this!~ setsuna : I can't hate you for something in the past because I can't remember anything from then. [hm?] and... you must've held a very honorable position. but you left heaven and hid here because of your guilt. and you even cut your own throat? uriel : ~... so you are forgiving me!? me!! (he has this really crazy look) I lived through everything just to wait for you to come kill me... and still you want me to continue to live in this humiliation!?~ setsuna : if living is so painful, then to continue is the punishment I dealt you. live on, uriel. you owe me this much! uriel takes everything too seriously, right? katou. katou : EH!? don't pick on me! (then starts to lecture poor uriel) that's right, bro, you're too pessimistic. the whole pure love thing is so old fashioned. [it's only exciting to play with dangerous women.] (whisper to uriel, who has a big sweatdrop) now take one advice from me!! I got some good stuff! just put it in their drinks when the girl's not looking! then it's all yours! have fun. doll (very mad) : [what is he talking about?] don't tell uriel-sama these strange stuff------!! setsuna : and rather than chase after the shadow of the woman in the past, why don't you care for the one with you now? don't call her "doll", give her a name. she loves you more than her life. thanks to her, I wasted so much time... (doll starts to blush) AH! that's right!! I forgot something really important! uriel! how many days is it since earth stopped!? uriel : ~um... I think it's day 6... (sweatdrop)~ setsuna (go crazy) : day six!? no, just one more day and my body will really die!! [SHIT, I TOTALLY FORGOOOOT] (grab on to katou) I can't stay here!! I have to leave hades and return to my body...... katou (sweatdrop) : calm down a little... uriel : ~that's impossible. hades only has an entrance and no exit. to prevent spirits from escaping, all paths are usually blocked.~ setsuna : again... something impossible...? (smile) well, don't we have to do something? we'll find a way. maybe under the rules made by the great angel-sama, it's useless to retaliate. but we're all idiots. katou : hey, what do you mean by we, don't put us together. uriel (sweatdrop) : ~wai...~ setsuna : we will be together forever. katou : GAAA--- nasty, ewwww uriel (sweatdrop) : ~wait!! there's no time to think of something else. ride on nydd hogg. it's alright. he understand human language. he'll listen to any orders from you. you seem to be the one nydd hogg has been awaiting for so long.~ setsuna : ...eh? (climbing on to the dragon, the dragon roars) YAAAA (grabbing on tight for his life) katou : stop embarrassing yourself. (doll covering her ears) uriel : ~...oh, sara... seems to really care about that ring.~ (throw it to setsuna) setsuna : ! (look at that ruby ring) uriel : ~she treats that broken ring as the collection of her happy times and carry it close to her... I made a copy for doll from the original along with a mask using her as the model. its color is really so gentle. even doll's heart has been touched and warmed...~ setsuna (looks sadly at the ring that uriel just gave him) : [that ring is the collection of sara's happy moments...] uriel : ~I picked up sara's soul at "rutsubo", where the human souls are gathered and kept. the souls gathered there will judged to go to eden or hell. the one who manages that great "rutsubo" is hades' topmost, enra-ou. hades' exit will only open when enra-ou's management abilities malfunctions.~ setsuna : ! [uriel...! I see...] uriel (turn back) : ~fare well, alex...! I wish you success.~ (suddenly setsuna jumps down and hugs uriel from behind) setsuna : fare well, gentle guardian of hell. alexiel shouldn't hate you, because you feel so gentle to me. we'll meet again... (jumps back on to the dragon and rides away) see ya! uriel : [alexiel...!!] (when everything's quiet again) doll : uriel-sama... uriel (pat her head) : ~I'm really a very bad master, like he said, I don't know anything. I didn't do anything for you... not even a name...~ doll (smile) : no, I like this name "doll". because that's the name master first called me. uriel : ~...i see. (smile)~ doll : but uriel-sama, you just told them it's the sixth day. shouldn't we tell them that the time in this world is slower than outside? (uriel goes pale with a big sweatdrop) arrow (pointing to that really funny face) : forgot. uriel : ~they should... come up... with something (sweatdrop) [with their temper...] doll (sweatdrops) : you can't do that!! [uriel-sama, come on--- but that's why I like you *heart*] (meanwhile, setsuna just finish filling katou in...) katou : WHAT---! those old men!? this cross and the coat draws all the ghouls, and are used to have us fight each other!? those fucking old men-----!! how dare they trick me!!! I'll kill 'em!! I'll definitely kill 'em!! setsuna : but now you can completely control that cross with no problems. katou : uh--- (vein) setsuna : of course I don't want to do this either. uriel just gave us as good hint. (whisper in katou's ear) katou (sweatdrop) : heh... [stop it setsuna. whispering in another guy's ear?] ...can we do something like that~~~~~~? setsuna : who knows, but it's the only way. [...i think] so let's carry this out your way, katou sempai. as long as we get those old men, who care what's gonna happen. katou (a little shaken up) : hahah... [are you crazy?] setsuna : hahahaha heheheh katou : HAHAHAHAH text : we've lost it. setsuna (taking a break from all the laughing) : when this is all over... you... staying here? I can't get you involved in my war again... EHH (he's looking all serious but katou just suddenly kicked him off the dragon...) katou : you got me into all this and now you're talking all this crap!! that's just the same as sending me to hell!! setsuna (grabbing very tight onto the side of nydd hogg) : alright already, help me. [hurry!!] katou : you killed me, and you saved me. and made me change...... text : who pulled me from that dark and cold void... who wouldn't forget me, who saved me regardless of the danger, it's you. katou (whisper to setsuna) : thank you... ... (setsuna seems surprised, katou turns back not to face him) damn. setsuna : ...just now... what did... katou (blushing) : I'm not saying that again!! setsuna : I wanna hear that again, sempai---!! was that thank... katou (blushing furiously) : SHUT UP!! YOU HEARD WRONG!! [no way I'm saying that again!!] (anywayz... up in heaven, teitiel ties a ribbon on katan's messed up arm) teitiel : it's a promise. this white ribbon is our swear not to kill angels again. it's alright. we'll be cleared of our sins one day. the two of us together... we won't be lonely, katan. (meanwhile a bunch of masked people just intruded rociel's house and killed the maid, they just entered rociel's chamber. one of them is sooooo obviously dubbiel *even if he has a mask... duh...* ^.^) dubbiel : the gas seems to be working. sure that's rociel? (someone asleep on the bed) ...go make sure now. (a man reach out a hand just about to flip the person over to see the face when the sleeping one suddenly sat up) woman : ahhh!! man : you're not asleep...? (grab her arm) woman : no!! let go! dubbiel : ! the voice... a woman!? (look at her face) but that face is really rociel... could it be... a substitute!? hey, woman! where's the real rociel!? woman : I don't' know! I wouldn't tell you even if I did know! dubbiel : I have no time! I'll do anything to make you speak, woman!! (push her back into the bed) come! we'll all split up to search for rociel! men : yes! dubbiel (to one of the men) : you stay here and question that woman for information! I don't care if it gets physical! man : yes, dubbiel-sama!! dubbiel : idiot!! don't call my name! [no matter what... no matter what, I have to witness rociel's death...!!] damn. I have no other way, you have to die...! (leaves) man (touch the woman's face) : hm? you're really a beauty. did you hear that, (takes his mask off) talk if you don't want to get hurt. I don't want to do that to you either. woman... that's right, no man could be so pretty. ...it's such a waste to kill you... you're so beautiful... (the woman bit his thumb lightly) woman : say that I'm pretty... again. I like that... I really do... (meanwhile... all the search party... *oh, they'll never find him ^.^* gathers outside the door to katan's room) dubbiel : did you find him!? man : no, but this room is strange! (katan holds teitiel close to him as the people busts in) men : m... monster!! k... kill it! kill it!! (katan knocks away the gun in their hands) WAA! teitiel (stand in front of katan's coffin) : it's not katan's fault, leave! no, katan! don't kill them!! (stops katan's hand) didn't we promise? we won't sin again...! we are going to the world of light together... leave that person!! (another man enters the room) man : rociel seems to be in the other room! dubbiel : good! kill him!! kill rociel! (katan's eyes open wide) text : ----oh, my lord. you are cruel.---- (and as he pauses for that moment, teitiel is shot) text : ----- I am the unwanted child of god.------ if only I can go to the world of light full of white flowers. no more fear, with the two of us. (teitiel lies in the pool of blood) end of Cruel Bondage, part 1 translator's note : actually, to tell the truth, I don't like the hades book that much, probably my least favorite part... because kira's not in it... and it's all about setsuna and uriel and katou (who I all don't really care about that much...) but when this part is done, and it is almost done, my favorites will come on... (I like the demons, not kurai's bunch, the ones from hell... and kira... zaphkiel, raphael and michael... those rebellious angels ^.^) top volume 06 section 02 (a gunshot, little girl lying in a pool of blood) text : god. (katan's eyes widen) text : answer me. (the man left to guard the woman is currently struggling to breath, and he's looking really messed up, while the "woman" is fixing her hair sitting next to him.) Angel Sanctuary - Hades Act III : Cruel Bondage, Part 2 man : AHHHH! uh. (she smiles as if she enjoys the screaming) (men standing over the body of teitiel after they shot her) men : it's only a child...! (looks at katan) this guy! this is the secret of the coffin!! doesn't matter, kill him! teitiel (barely alive) : ...no. men : kill. (as katan approaches them) teitiel : no, katan... stop it...! (dying) men : kill! ! (after a bloody confrontation... everybody's dead, katan's still holding somebody's decapitated head) teitiel (looking at katan with half open eyes) : oh... you've done it...... that won't do, katan... but I knew. you've chosen that person since the beginning...... yes... I really knew... because... I can see it. (smile) but I think... we're so similar... maybe the two of us can go on together...... when I thought... about the possibilies... I'm sorry I lied... I've been lonely for so long... just myself... ...that person must be the same too. will I meet god this time? and... will he answer me... this time... text : god, do you... love us? (katan is crying, looking at his own tears) katan : tei... tei... ara... (meanwhile, dubbiel who has followed the other man to find rociel) dubbiel : where is rociel!? man : in here!! ! (they see that guy...) dubbiel : you...!? should you be with rociel's substitute... (realize that the guy's holding a gun...) ! man 2 (crazed laugh) : HAHAHAHAHA (shoots them both) man : huh...!? dubbiel : damn... (takes out his own gun) he's crazy! man 2 : haha... tea hasn't been served yet... dubbiel...! (his forehead splits *nasty T.T* and then his whole body gets split into 2, and there's rociel, smiling...) dubbiel : rociel...!! (shoots a blast of energy... uselessly) rociel : ... heh, not bad for an angel chief... can you do any better, dubbiel...? dubbiel (on the ground) : I see...! you are that woman...! it would be easy for a monster like you to change your voice...! rociel (looks pissed off) : what... am i...? dubbiel : sevotharte said so. you're only an ugly monster using your looks to cover up your rotten insides...!! I'll defeat you and unveil your monstrous cover...! WITH THIS!! (shoots a dart at rociel) rociel (looks at the dart planted on his shoulder) : this...! dubbiel : if you try to pull it out by force, your whole arm's gonna be gone. that white angel gave me this virus weapon that's still in development. it's your own fault, rociel-sama... for angering that frightening man...!! this special bacteria will first desaturate the liquids in your skin tissue, and then devour your cells with frightening speed. once it starts rotting, it will quickly spread to the rest of your body. the beauty you are so proud of will become a wrinkled ugly dehydrated body, you'll die painfully in that process. become the most distinguished mummy in the world, to be placed in a museum and displayed in a glass case by sevi. rociel (looking at his arm which is already beginning to rot around the dart) : ahhh!! AHHHHHH! (meanwhile, in gehenna, kira is still standing in front of the frozen body of alexiel and just staring at her) arakune (blows out some smoke) : how long are you gonna be staring at that thing! arrow : jealous. arakune : I don't know how a nice woman she was, but rather than that frozen cold woman, isn't this living beauty much better? kira (turn around, sweatdrop) : beauty? [you shameless transvestite...] she's not a good woman. she's a frightening woman. text : sharp as a razor, the transparent sensitive nerves. completely contrasts her lovely appearance. if touched carelessly... kira : sorry, not me. (walk out) text : the one who bleeds... is definitely the guy. arakune : [hmph] liar. (kurai's sitting on the ground, leaning again setsuna's bed) kurai : finally... [it's the morning of the 7th day of the deadline...!! just 24 hours left... if setsuna doesn't come back before the time's over... setusna's body...!!] voice : why don't you just let him die? princess. kurai : what's the meaning of this, voice!! why do you treat setsuna like an enemy!? voice : princess, have you forgotten? no matter who he was in his past life, he's a human! humans are the enemies of our people!! kurai : listen!! voice. humans are fools, but not all of them are bad. they are the same as us demons... with many troubles and pains, doing stupid things... there are bad guys among them, but a lot of good guys too. the demon's war with heaven has lasted many centuries already, and what did we get? humans and demons... are basically no different. i... think it's great that I met setsuna and the others... voice : wrong... princess...! don't you only mean setsuna alone? you've met him in no time and you're already defending him... I'm the one who's with princess, and watching over princess...! what is there to that human!? kurai : voice...? (voice leans over to kiss kurai but she pushes him away) kurai : stop... SETSUNA!! why...? (voice is on the ground glaring at her) why did you do that...!? why... (runs out) leave me alone!! voice : princess...!! kurai (flashback as she pushed voice way) : [setsuna!] voice : [he makes you suffer so much... and you're still calling his name...! only if this guy's not here... yes. we don't need to ask for human's help in this war...!! if this guy would be gone...!! (glare at that dagger in setsuna's body) if this guy...!!] (in hades, setsuna is completely asleep and snoring on the dragon) katou : yo--- where are we now... hn? (kicking setsuna, sweatdrop) he fell asleep... [you can sleep as a spirit?] (but setsuna's not only sleeping, but dreaming, he dreamt of a woman...) voice : ...ila, my beloved laila. love won't devour you, it won't pollute you. please... don't be scared. (the woman crying) text : I swear to the gods of heaven and earth, I won't betray you. I won't hate you either. therefore, please don't have that look on your face. some day, I'll come for you. I wander in this endless wilderness for you. my beloved laila, please don't cry... (and setsuna suddenly wakes up... of course... because katou just sat on him... T.T) setsuna : HEAVY!! katou : that's so rude, I'm the middle of a diet. setsuna : can't you wake me normally! normally!! katou : nope, maybe I'll just let you keep on sleeping and die... setsuna (still pissed off) : ... shit. [just now... ...that dream? that feeling... as if my thoughts synchronized with someone...! for the woman... named "laila"...? that's right! that voice...!! ever since I came to hades, I heard his voice...!! the one who has been calling me, who brought me to that dream...!! but who...!!] (cover his ear) uh!? t... this amazing ring in my ears...!! this is probably the place uriel told us about. I can hear it...!! humans... millions and millions... of souls' cries gathered...! (they see a big seal on the ground) [tamashii no rutsubo *pool of souls*] ---let's go down. katou : [no way--- (sweatdrop)] hey! (after the dragon has landed) this cross's really alright? setsuna : don't worry! didn't I say that you haven't used your full power yet? katou : ...but... what that old man said... setsuna : there's no time to hesitate! we have to do this. see ya later. katou : hey! don't you die from any of this. I haven't paid you back for killing me yet. setsuna : same goes for you, I don't want you to waste my HARD WORK for SAVING you. (cute smile) yuu-kun *heart* arrow (point to that blushing smile) : trying to hide his embarrassment *heart* katou (ranting, vein) : how dare you call me yuu-kun------!! [I'm gonna kill you!!] setsuna (riding away on nydd hogg) : bai bai. katou : [youngsters these days have no respect for their elders at all.] ah, come on. (all these ghouls rising from the ground) all these people wanna do a number on me? I'm so troubled, I don't have the habit of picking up random acquaintances. I'm scared, I'm scared, (with this crazy look on his face ^.^) I'm real scared, hm!? (as setsuna is riding away, he's looking back) setsuna : is he gonna be alright... [he's never serious.] uriel (flashback) : ~the power of your feather is very strong. as he continues to fight, his power will grow. but when he works to become your guardian, the link between you will also get closer.~ setsuna : [there is... no turning back...! (suddenly looks up) [I feel it...!! enra-ou's ki...!! enra-ou's statue!? it's here!! it's close...!!!] (jump off nydd hogg) you made me notice you on purpose... and now you hide back...! (a energy ball forming in his hands) get the hell out here!! (huge blast) you fucking old men!! enra-ou : heheh, that was violent, messiah. this is the holy ground where the dead sleeps. don't over do the jokes. (a corner of the place has fallen apart) we're not as good natured as you might think. setsuna : me neither. (smile) what a coincidence. "enra-ou". end of Cruel Bondage, part 2 translator's note : anywayz... just suddenly thought I'd mention stuff... kurai's race is called the "evils" in japanese, - ivuru... but I dunno, I didn't think it sounded like a name of a race, the kanji for them means more like demons, plus sometimes, they are referred to as "orera"... anywayz... they are different from those people from hell, though their ancestors were demons from hell, they've become worshippers of the dragons, and believers of natural spirits, like japan's shintoism... which is why their blood is still from hell but more closely related to humans now... top volume 06 section 03 Angel Sanctuary - Hades Act III : Cruel Bondage, Part 3 (katou breathing heavily, and he's sitting on top of a pile of ghouls) katou : finally... killed all of them...... [ah---- that's enough---. I'm not doing this---. what the hell------.] damn, how can they work me so hard... [whatever--] (suddenly all the ghouls disappear, gets sucked into a whirlpool or something, and uncovers a six pointed star on the ground) katou : what the hell's this, looks like a mirror... this is rutsubo's entrance...? after entering this glass surface, there's no way to get out... this rutsubo is a cage for souls. ...then I can do something, you hear that? (meanwhile, setsuna faces enra-ou...) enra-ou : I know you are angry, messiah. to increase the evil inside of the boy named katou, I gave him the cross and the coat that attracts ghouls. I've also expected that you would run into hellgate's guardian when you tries to enter uchuuju recklessly. ...therefore if you could not pass those challenges, there was no reason for us to entrust you with the fate of the world. so just think of these things as the result of testing your power and nothing more. if by any chance you are defeated by heaven and leads to the destruction of earth, we, the rulers of spirits will face a great danger too. all the humans on earth will rush into hades. though in the years of the past, human stupidity has caused the life of the earth to collapse, the living and the dead still has to be maintained in a balanced state to ensure the cycle of this world. the failure of the messiah means the collapse of hades. we could not have been any less careful. for the greater era, small sacrifices has to be made. it may seems cruel, but that is the right actions of a true leader. setsuna : heh, no one asked for you acceptance! I'm here to threaten you. we can save earth and sara without your help. asshole! but we won't forget the things you've done. I'm thinking of returning the favor. actually, right now, my companion is holding the key to rutsubo. if you open a path for us to get back nicely, nothing will happen. if your answer is "no", he'll destroy rutsubo with the cross you gave him and free all the souls! all hell will go loose. maybe some of the souls will slip out in the process. I'm sure there are some evil ones sealed in there. rutsubo : lord... there really is someone on top of my body. he's dangerously radiating a very strong aura. when id that human acquire such power...! wasn't he killed by the gate keeper...! he seems to be ready to break the mirror anytime... enra-ou : ! setsuna : well? didn't I say I have no patience? (meanwhile... the rociel and dubbiel episode...) dubbiel : now I can report back to sevotharte... and I can keep my head a little longer...... rociel-sama... your sudden death must really sadden all of atziluth. (take out a knife) sorry but I have to take your ears. I must give them to sevi or else he won't be able to sleep, he's a very cautious man. [hmph] so this is what happens to angel of highest honor!! sevi's bacteria weapon is making your beautiful white skin all wrinkled...... (flip the person on the ground over) hn!? (definitely not rociel...) it's not... rociel!? this is... the corpse of one of the men that came with me...!! (someone behind him...) WAAA!! (turns around, shoots... and emptied all his bullets *really smart*) rociel : out of energy? dubbiel : ! (all his shots landed in another one of his men...) dubbiel : [i... I was tricked!!] r... rociel, you're alive...!? why...!! your arm healed...!? (obviously the dart couldn't hurt rociel...) rociel : no matter what new super bacteria, the stronger side wins. no bacteria can live inside my body. dubbiel : then... what exactly does that mean...!? what the hell is your body...!! rociel : you think you can kill me? I don't even know how to kill his body...! as for this......! (about to pull out the dart) dubbiel : hah... hahah. t... try pulling it out! hahaha. it's equipped with explosives that will trigger with your movement!! you can't do anything! hahah (rociel just ignores him and uses some sort of magic on the dart which falls down easily...) dubbiel : c... completely rusted...? it is has if it weathered away after a few hundred years...!! (analyzing the dart T.T) this is... time magic...!? impossible! the only one who can use the ancient time magic is the lost one...... the legendary hermit adam kadmon " serafuita" sama... rociel (smile) : or... the one who inherits "adam kadmon's" blood...! (dubbiel seems shocked *sigh*) I think you know that all exits has been blocked and there's no where to run to. do you want me to slowly question you who is the one behind the attempted assassination of the inorganic angel? it's your choice, dubbiel. do you want to be tried and accept the hellish pains of having your wing severed, or I can keep quiet about this... dubbiel (remembers what he saw...) : [sevotharte......!! no way...!! that won't happen!! i... don't want to die...!!] damn!! (reach for something in his boots) I won't have it, whether to be killed by an angel like monster, or have my wings cut by sevi!! you're going to hell alone!! (throws something from his boots at rociel, but suddenly, a hand reached out in the from the middle of nowhere and caught it... rociel seems surprised... but dubbiel looks really scared as he knows that thing's gonna explode) dubbiel : WAAA!! (...and it does explode... the house is all in ruins, rociel's been pushed on to the ground, he looks up and someone has covered him from all the debris and explosion... it's katan *duh... who else?*) katan : ...ght? ...sama... are you... alright...? (oh, did I mention he's naked??? ^.^) (he's returned to normal and looking at rociel with this very gentle look... anyway, rociel pushes him off immediately) rociel : ...so heavy... get off of me now!! you're still so clumsy! (stand up, turn around and fix his hair T.T) ...i just have one question...! ...am i... beautiful...? katan : yes... beyond anything in this world... rociel-sama's supreme brilliance will never dim in the future. (rociel has all these mixed emotions on his face and he runs into katan and hugs him so tightly) rociel : say it again... those words have no meanings when they do not come from you. no one else will do!! I don't want to hear anyone else's voice!! continue... katan : you're pretty...! rociel : more!! more extreme words! text : use your pale colored body... katan : your beauty is unparalleled in this world. rociel : rain the words down like a storm!! more!! katan : your hair curls with the radiance of crystal, your pearl skin... rociel : more!! katan : it's alright... text : those gasping... evil... katan : I won't go anywhere else. I am not lost anymore. text : and beautiful lies to seduce me. in cheap golden plated beautiful words, I have fallen. (katan puts his arms around rociel and they just... have their moment ^.^ but hey, don't forget someone's still here...) dubbiel : you're crazy... you are...

(and gets into a flashback) uriel : ~either to become alex's guardian and joins the war of heaven and earth, or become a human and go to eden. either choice is fine.~ katou : thanks a lot. I guess everyone would choose to go to eden. so just listen carefully, uriel-san. I am not sucking up to that old man to let me go to heaven!! I would rather die for the people who need me! uriel : ~... it's different than rociel's feather. alex's power does not twist the laws of nature and grant you eternal life. when the time comes, it means that your mission has ended and you will return to the cycle of human reincarnation. no one knows when that will be....even so, you are still going to fight for alex?~ katou : ...even so. text : ...we must really be idiots, this guy and me... setsuna (really shocked) : then... you knew... what will happen when you use the cross? ...then why... why didn't you tell me!! you asshole----!!! enra-ou (still after them T.T) : messiah...!! you can't escape!!! setsuna (looks back) : ! katou (yelling) : go! mudou!! hurry up and go------!! (scene changes... zaphkiel and raziel...) zaphkiel : raziel-kun... (raise his hand) I really--- don't want to do this to you. really... (strikes, raziel's eyes are wide... and then... he push zaphkiel's hand aside ^.^) raziel : please stop fooling around, zaphkiel-sama! this... what is this anyway!? this... isn't this a human spirit!? (well, guess we found the lost girl... sara looks so soundly asleep in a pool of water) no wonder I thought you were acting suspicious recently...!! you'll be seriously punished if you were found to have such a collection. it is forbidden to hold human souls without permission... and you made a secret chamber just for this... this time I definitely cannot allow this!! zaphkiel : heh... (starts to laugh) raziel (more pissed off) : what's so funny!? zaphkiel : heheh... hahahah... you... (laughing in a bit of a realization/disbelief/surprise??? *or maybe I just can't find the right word*) I've really lost to you...! raziel-kun...!! raziel (who totally don't get it) : eh? zaphkiel (looks normal now) : please don't come to conclusions so quickly. this is the truly rare spirit of a girl who has wandered lost into atziluth from earth. I have kept her here for the moment until I can identify her and determine the reason why she has come. if I report this to the high committee, don't you think she will become a study subject for the white militia? you should know their mad scientist methods very well yourself. raziel (seems stunned) : i... I am really... sorry. ...i was overly emotional... regardless of the reason, to scold a superior is... unheard of. ...please punish me, zaphkiel-sama...! zaphkiel (who has everything all under control now ^.^) : ...well then. usually you would be court marshaled. your short and quick temper is not the kind of cool headed, good judgment assistant that I need. ... but if today's incident goes public, it's bad for both of us. therefore, let's just pretend that nothing happened... how's that? (pat raziel) raziel (stares down) : y... yes... thank you very much. zaphkiel : very well. ...then let's go. we'll attract more suspicion if we don't return. (zaphkiel leads raziel out of the place and raziel takes one last look back) raziel : she... isn't she saying something? really...! zaphkiel : ah... but her consciousness is still asleep. perhaps she saw her lover in the dream. (they leave) sara : ...where...? where is this...? setsuna... (metatron breaks away from his bath smashing the pots of water and runs away) metatron : sevi!! maids : please wait!! metatron-sama! you can't go out like this!! metatron (running to sevotharte) : sevi!! he's coming! sevotharte (catches metatron in the hall) : metatron-sama? metatron (runs into sevotharte, still naked and wet) : sevi! he... he's coming, I'm scared...! sevotharte : he...? [to scare him like this, rociel...?] (wrapping metatron up in a temporary cloak) you'll catch a cold like this. sister! metatron-sama is over here! (the door before them opens and dubbiel is there) sevotharte : dubbiel---? (surprise) metatron (shaking, hiding behind sevotharte) : wrong... it's HIM--- sevotharte : ----how come it took you this long, dubbiel. I thought you failed and died or ran away... dubbiel : ...... today I came to report of a decision the high committee made regarding rociel-sama. starting today, cherubim no. 3 "katan" has been released from all military duties, and officially named the special assistant of the inorganic angel rociel-sama. it is an official decision passed by the high committee, and only needs the recognition of the prime minister-dono who represents metatron-sama. sevotharte : ...what? (glare) dubbiel : this disk contains all the details and awaits your approval please... sevotharte : w... wait! I told you to wait, dubbiel! what the hell's wrong with you! (hits dubbiel, makes a slight wound on his face and knocks off his glasses, but dubbiel just looks at him plainly and the wound healed in no time.) sevotharte : ah... your glasses... dubbiel : I don't need... such things anymore. I am not living for anyone else anymore. I no longer have to envy or submit myself to those stronger. nor fear or tremble at great unknown power. "in order not to be engulfed by the fear of 'evil', then I can only become the 'evil' myself..." sevotharte (surprise, realization) : [rociel...!!!] dubbiel (leaves) : pardon me--- sevotharte (alone) : [that... cursed monster----!!!] (in hades) katou : mudou!! go already!! GO!! go!! nydd hogg, you'll get caught!!! mudou!! just listen to the senpai for once. don't be so stubborn, you! setsuna : shut up!! I can't leave a companion behind! (katou's body is melting more) katou : that is it...! why... can't you understand, you...! rather than becoming your burden, I would rather disintegrate. why can't you understand!? you have to do this for my sake. or else... do you want me to die like that again? (points the cross to himself, meanwhile enra-ou coming close) setsuna : WAA!! katou : damn! (his cross breaks the shield and hits enra-ou's... big flying face ^^;;) setsuna (surprised) : [the cross penetrated the barrier!? yes, he got it from enra-ou... it was originally made from the same stuff as this barrier...!] nydd hogg : we're going now, messiah! setsuna : w... wait. katou...!! is katou alright...!? hey...!! (the smoke from the blast clears and katou's still down there... he looks up and has his usual nonchalant smile and gives setsuna his farewell... the finger...) setsuna : KATOU!! (nydd hogg is flying away) katou----!! text : what. shut up already. oh, there's nothing now, my mind is blanking out. I can't think about anything... (katou falls back) oh what is it... I'm sleepy. (his eyes close slowly) that's right. when I go to school tomorrow, I have to return kira his CD. I have to return it... (and uriel catches him as he falls. katou turns into his spiritual existence in uriel's hands, the spirit of a newborn.) uriel : ~well done...! everyone are... gentle... good children. you've become strong... realizing your goal with your strength, the power of the youth... our era has ended. good boy... are you tired? you can rest now... (holding katou's soul in his hands gently) the war is about to begin. the final holy war between heaven and earth...!! so rest now... children of the future... (he looks up at enra-ou)~ text : hurt time after time, humans repeat their same mistakes. nydd hogg : doesn't look like enra-ou followed us... text : even though humans are fragile and weak, I know the time will come. nydd hogg (they are heading into a ball of light) : that is the hades' path, the long road to the outside world. text : even so, I believe in the humans. knowing this time will definitely come some day. (setsuna is crying silently) nydd hogg : messiah? text : because humans are always foolish and weak... nydd hogg : are you crying...? text : they cannot survive if they don't depend on each other----- (they fly toward the whirlpool...) end of Cruel Bondage, part 6 top :: volume 05 :: volume 07 ::
