.: Tenshi Kinryouku :. Tenshi Kinryouku [Angel Sanctuary] :: Yuki Kaori VOLUME 8 :: translated by kamiya shuusai :: :: volume 07 :: SC 1 :: SC 2 :: SC 3 :: SC 4 :: SC 5 :: SC 6 :: volume 09 :: Digital Angel volume 08 section 01 text : assiah... earth... (setsuna and voice approaching riding on a dragon) voice : I see it... it's assiah! text : the magic capital of tokyo...? voice : humans don't realize but ambition and evil thoughts grow with the increasing gathering of humans, especially in such large capitals, turning this into an acarthic zone. text : no, it's different. this place is the streets I destroyed----- the earth that pushed me into insanity voice : that's what we mean by "ignorant humans"! text : the gentle mother that nurtured me------ I have returned------- (a familiar looking figure is flying over the city... it's mika-chan ^^) Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 1 voice (kinda happy) : this place will work well because it gathered a lot of spiritual energy! (they stopped at a big building) that complete tokyo blackout of rociel's resurrection was also using this tokyo magnetic field as the base of the magic. alright! we're ready! (snap at setsuna) move aside!! setsuna (sweatdrop) : o... oh. (voice chants a spell around setsuna's body which was placed in the magnetic field.) voice : alright! perfect!! I'm such a genius------!! setsuna (doubtfully) : is this really... gonna keep my body okay? (touches lightly and gets electrocuted by the barrier around his old body) wahh!? voice : you moron, before the spell is removed, even I can't enter this barrier! how can the messiah be so ignorant? setsuna (glare at him w/ sweatdrop) : ......... [damn brat.] voice, why are you still so hostile towards me? you even touched my breasts. voice (steaming) : you made me touch them!! (vein) setsuna (acting all beautiful and touchingly ^^) : it wasn't because I am an angel or human, but there is something else, isn't there? (leaning a little too close ^^;; because alexiel's half showing breasts are facing right at voice who's turning very pale... with sweatdrops) right? or is it... (leans even closer) that you don't trust me? ...really. voice (sweating a lot) : ah... eh... uh... err... (suddenly push setsuna away violently) stop it! (yelling at setsuna who's looking back innocently with sweatdrops) I feel like I'm being touched by a hermaphrodite every time you come near me!! ewww!? you better cover yourself from head to toe from now on because I don't want to see you!! setsuna (pulling on such a *kawai sou* act) : that was cruel... you're so mean, voice-chan. [you touched me like that already and now you just want to dump me-----.] voice (looks really annoyed ^^) : for get it!! just go take a walk and come back!! setsuna (smile, looks around) : ...hn, haven't been back here... for a long time. [these streets frozen in time...] (I suppose he leaves now, while voice is still glaring at him, seemingly very annoyed.) voice (watch setsuna go away, thinking) : [he left... (relief)] what kind of joke is this...! that stupid messiah need to know how dangerous a body he's go--------!! setsuna (walking away rubbing his shoulder, thinking) : so it's true that big breasts put more stress on shoulders. voice (sweatdrops) : [you'll surely be attacked walking on the streets in that kind of cloth.] (think) he's got such a messed up head inside that sexy body~~~... text : has god created all the angels... so beautifully as such... (voice doesn't notice that somebody is standing on a high up structure behind him) the winged ones with god's love......! (up in heaven, an explosion in a huge castle - metatron's castle) text : the ones created by god... (everyone else outside are frantic and hurt by the explosion...) metatron : ah! hey, it's noisy. something is coming. what is it? mr. bunny (the japanese sounds so much better >.<) : don't worry, metatron! it's only a little mouse that slipped in. (a man wearing very suspicious black clothing and mask and everything, the obvious "I am the intruder" look is panting and slipping away from the explosion, and he's bleeding, apparently struggling. no details were given on what happened before that) metatron : hey, someone is crying. the sisters are saying "it hurts" and crying. mr. bunny : it's alright! many people can replace them. even if they break, you can just replace them with new ones. they are just like dolls and toys. (the man approaches their room) metatron : hey, he's coming, that man. mr. bunny : hm, it seems like his goal was you from the beginning, metatron. metatron : hey... want to play a trick on him? (the door slams open and the man busts in holding a gun up) man : the great seraphim metatron!! (metatron is in his PJs, sitting on a chair in the middle of a room full of toys, on the chair with him is mr. bunny) metatron : yes----- (cute smile) you want to hear a song? man (confused, removing his mask *stupid move*) : you're alone? I was sure I heard a voice speaking...? metatron (hugging bunny, giggle) : there are many, here, see! man : ! (all the dolls start to move, they all opened their mouth and are either singing or speaking... anyway, making noise... you can't tell what they r saying because the text *sound effects* are written in angel language ^^;; one of the dolls jumped on the man) man : WAHHHH! (and he falls back, which makes him fall out of the room. the doors shut in his face, laughter sounds still comes out from inside the room) what the... hell was that...!? (looks really shocked and confused) sevotharte (appears) : what are you doing over there!! man : [sevotharte!! (turns around and run) damn it! I can't get caught no matter what!! I can never reveal his name!] (so he runs into a garden...) man : [what is this place...!!] ! (and he sees jibrille, sitting like she always does in the center of the garden) [the angel of water, jibrille-dono, who has lost her heart!? then it means this is the forbidden sector - water garden. (jibrille just sits there and stares into space) it's true... her beauty really is transparent like the crystal...!] (he was going to touch her) ! ...that's... it can't be!? sevotharte (appears right outside) : did you find something around her neck? intruder. man : ! what are you talking about...! (sevotharte appears standing in front of him) this is all your doing! (rips off sevi's mask) show yourself! sevotharte! (the mask falls off, revealing sevotharte's face to the guy... but we can't see it because it's shaded in shadow...) man : wha...? (shock) what the hell...!? your face... (sevothate doesn't let him finish and stabbed him on the back with one of his needles) sevotharte : ------ now your voice is completely sealed. it's useless to try to speak, you'll just die with your body dispersing. trying to pull that needle out of your central nervous cord will result in the same. then again... you wouldn't be able to speak after seeing this face anyway...! (the man is struggling on the floor) now... this time I will make you spit out the name of the leader of the rebel angels...! considering that you were able to sneak into here, I will be expecting to hear the name of a quite important person. (grab the guy's head) there's no need to say anything. I'll just take your brain out alive and read it off directly. ! (the man suddenly jumps up and turns around and runs toward jibrille) stop your futile attemps!! you cannot get out of the water garden! man (runs toward jibrille, and kneels in front of her) : [ah, jibrille-dono...!] (jibrille is still staring blankly at space, but a bright light is emitted from her) sevotharte (cover his face from the light) : ! (the man is surrounded by the light and an instant later, he dissolved into water...) sevotharte (a second too late) : you bitch... let him escape!! (slap her) so those useless thoughts still remain in this living corpse!! (jibrille slides to the side from the hit and revealed that there is a needle on the back of her neck, while sevi looks very scary *the mask is still off by the way*) my needle...! it took away the freedom of your arms and legs, and paralyzed your vision and hearing. you're a puppet of flesh...! how much longer will you interfere with me... but... if only you had kept that man with you, these things would have never happened. (leans closer and pulls her head up so that her eyes are looking at his face... blankly of course) how does this filthy face reflect in the eyes of the madonna lily angel who pretends not to know the corruption of the world...? look carefully. yes, I will not stop. I have no intention of forgiving those filthy humans! failure products that went the wrong direction must be eliminated, the purifying flame will burn and return to nothingness. then correct the program once again and create a new creation for the human beings. yes... this time it will work out... there won't be another failure again...!! (no reaction from jibrille, so this was more like a monologue... no, it is a monologue...) text : and for that cause... mother earth must be cleansed with the blood flown from her children...!! (setsuna walking on the street) setsuna : ...eh? [I thought I heard something. hasn't time stopped here...! no, I can really still hear it. the sound of car engines and the sound of noisy kids. the sound of leaves rustling, and... the voices that call me... sara (flashback, as setsuna walks by the part *refer back to volume 1*) : onii-chan... better watch out, aniki. you'll make a girl's heart beat faster, saying stuff like that. (cute smile) setsuna (staring at the park) : [the pieces... of memory...] (spacing out... suddenly...) voice : watch out! mes... setsuna!! setsuna (an explosion behind him, might have gotten him if he didn't dodge so fast) : ! (someone appears on top of a building, he's standing in shadows, but it's very obvious that's michael... and he had already captured voice) michael : who are you asshole? eh? (he's caught voice with one hand) voice (struggling) : ouch, let go of me-----!! setsuna (turns around and sees them) : ...voice? (surprise) michael : ------- I don't feel the same aura from you as in this little demon kid, but... voice : let go~~~~!! (sees to be in pain and anger) michael : you're neither angel nor human... (and lets go of voice and kicks his butt down the roof) ahhh, shut up, kid. voice (sweatdrop) : WAH. (falls down the roof and falls toward setsuna) uhhh (x.x) michael : ------ you people seem to have come here to put a spell on the messiah's body, then he hasn't awakened yet? (setsuna glares at him while holding voice who is passed out @.@) answer me if you want to live! voice (still dizzy) : it's no use, setsuna... that guy's head is all funny! he just took me out all of a sudden...!! run before he finds out that you are the messiah! setsuna (swetadrop) : [what's funny is your face.] (take a step forward) heh, (vein, yell up at michael) before you ask for people's names, you should give your own name first. didn't anyone teach you that, you moron? voice (looks totally shocked T.T) : [he just hate to lose... (sweatdrop)] michael (angry glare) : heheheh... hah------ hahahahahahah!! (jumps down) then this moron will tell you his name!! (lands with a crash T.T) one! I suck the life and blood of the world! setsuna (and voice scrabbling away from his crash landing) : wah! (angry sweatdrop) michael : two I am an incomprehensible violent evil aura!! THREE------- (setsuna looks really taken aback... T.T) [three... is... um] what is it? ah whatever! (setsuna falls down with both feet in the air, voice has this really funny look with sweatdrops) michael (jumps out of his landing place) : anyway, as for me!! I am shikouten's greatest boy general!! I would fight anyone, and with this flying blue dragon that runs from my face to my body! the angel of fire, KING OF ANGELS, michael, that's who I am! (lands right in front of setsuna) setsuna (seems a little surprised) : what the hell? (looks at michael funny) who's this chibi. (he should not have said that T.T calling michael and chibi???) [is he even... 160?] (voice who is standing behind him looks really scared... with a lot of sweatdrops) michael (takes a step forward) : ...i will tell you something. (the ground he stepped on cracked) setsuna : [eh? (sweatdrop)] voice (fanning himself) : [how come it's suddenly so hot? (because michael's fiery aura is surrounding them)] michael : until now all of those who had said that to I michael-sama, (can't see his face, grits teeth) not one single person... (grab the sword on his back) HAS SURVIVED---------!! (a huge blast of flames as he plunges the sword to the ground, sending an energy blast right past setsuna) [you have to measure my height including my hair that's standing up!] (the blast hit the little resting area in the park where setsuna was just having flashbacks of... and the whole place broke) setsuna : [ah...!] sara (flashback) : girls will easily misunderstand you if onii-chan says stuff like that. (smile) aniki... (image fades away) setsuna : v... voice... stay away from me. (looks like he's having difficulty controlling himself) voice : setsuna...? michael (seems excited) : what!? you wanna take me on? interesting!! come on, I'll burn you to the bones!! (he sees setsuna jump toward him) michael : ! such a damn impatient bastard!! (blast... and "setsuna" burns up, but it's not setsuna, just the cloak that he was wearing... decoy, can't believe he fell for that) wha...? (realized it was only a cloak) fuck!! (too late, as setsuna is already behind michael, holding the dagger form of nanatsusaya at his neck.) michael (glare back) : y...! you... are pretty good. ...!? (sees alexiel's face) that face...! you can't be...!! end of Encounter, part 1 translator's note : some more ranting on AS, I just got the drama cd of yetzirah 1... (dunno when 2 will arrive yet T.T) it contains zaphkiel's flashback so I love it... I say it's around vol 11~12... I still think zaphkiel sounds different from what I had imagined, but of course I would go with the actual seiyuus ^^;; if you stare at those names on the cast list blankly... maybe looking them up will help, many of them have done some familiar roles... the funniest thing is that I'm watching inu yasha right now and the guy who does sesshomaru's voice - narita ken... is raphael *AHAHAHAHAHAH* he did many other roles too including fuuma in X and he's in FY as well... but that was just too funny... I'm imagining sesshoumaru's cold emotionless voice... then switch to raphael T.T zaphkiel's seiyuu tanaka hideyuki did MANY MANY other people, including sakura's dad in card captor sakura... well, he's also rayearth in MKR, and just a lot of them I recognize... I was also watching Lodoss war the other day... and suddenly I'm like... "hey! that's setsuna!!" yes, nojima kenji plays spark from lodoss war... *sigh* I'm just crazy about seiyuu ^^ top volume 08 section 02 Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 2 a voice : heheheh... (inside metatron's doll house...) sevotharte : for now you are not allowed to leave this room. I thought I told you not to display that kind of power in front of people! and if you don't follow what I just said, I will punish all of your friends in this room. metatron : w... why!? you're so mean, sevi!! (a sister's been watching from a crack in the door) stop it!! they are my friends! sevotharte (grabs mr. bunny *still haven't decided whether I should call him usa-san*) : if you don't listen to me, I will start with your favorite one. metatron (in his PJs... so cute ^^) : mr. bunny!! no! stop!! (grabs the bunny, hugging it tight) this bunny is my best friend! he's always with me, unlike sevi who always claims that you're busy and never stay with me! I've always, always, al------ways been here, and drinking that medicine, but sevi's still mad! I don't need sevi!! I want to see jibrille! sevotharte (breaks the head off a doll) : looks like metatron-sama really likes dolls. do you think she can see you now? metatron (looks horrified at the broken doll) : WAHHHHHH~~~~~!! (starts crying) sevotharte : sister! feed him the medicine! sister (comes in running) : y... yes. (tries to get metatron calmed down) metatron : noooo------ I hate sevi! I hate you---------!! sister : metatron-sama, please calm down! (while sevi is walking out... and slams the door behind him. scene switches to michael and setsuna) michael : you... could it be that you are...! (glares back at setsuna who's got nanatsusaya around michael's neck) setsuna : ! michael : a transvestite!! (a huge surge of power and he blasts setsuna back with a really funny face) [ahhhhh------------] don't touch me! I hate transvestites and big women! setsuna (looks really shocked) : wha... [t... this guy... even thought he's an archangel, he doesn't know alexiel's face!? (sweatdrop)] michael (looks at setsuna funny) : [h~u~h?] setsuna (jump back on his/her feet) : who are you calling a transvestite? just look at me!! (like presenting alexiel's body...) t... this annoyingly nice body line! these unrealistically big and clear eyes and red lips!! no matter how you looks at it, I'm a woman! eh? michael (glares at him darkly) : no, you're a man. forget about the body, your heart and body are not connected. (meaning... like they don't synchronize... like a normal person... setsuna seems surprised) and I really do feel an unknown frightening power from that body, but you are thinking about other useless stuff and cannot synchronize with the body's vibration, it's like holding a useless treasure. for example, in that moment you caught me before... if it was me I would've unhesitantly cut off the opponent's head, (blasts setsuna backwards) just like this! voice (worried) : setsuna! setsuna (yelling back) : shut up, go hide somewhere, voice! (turns back to michael) you and I are different! [I heard about him from uriel, but I'm surprised that this is THAT michael-sama] michael (his eyes glowing with menacing light) : then die in peace!! setsuna : [I don't know if words will get through to him. his eyes have gone blank...] michael : I'll bring your corpse back to heaven and study it. that pervert doctor raphael surely will weep in joy!! setsuna (surprise) : [did he say raphael!?] w... wait, michael! I have some business with raphael! where is he now!? michael (a little smirk) : alright, I'll tell you. my rotten ties with him started before the great war *first war of heaven and hell* and so I know him just all too well. however... (causes a huge explosion in the buildings behind him while he's sitting there on the roof calmly looking down at setsuna) we'll talk if you can beat me!! setsuna (looks scared ^^) : WAHHHHHH I... I just knew words can't get through to him!! (meanwhile in heaven... raziel is typing on the computer in the office) voice : ... ...c raziel (looks up surprised from his computer) : eh? sara (this is the spirit of sara that is in zaphkiel's basement) : come... hurry... come here... (she looks like she's asleep... but it is her talking) raziel : is that you? sara : come here... quickly... raziel (walking down the hall) : over here...? (he suddenly bumps into all these big tall men, soldiers in white) [!] e... excuse me! (the men just walk right past him) ...... (sweatdrops) [white uniforms... the seraphim's direct personal guards...!?] (run into zaphkiel's room) w... what illegal thing did you do this time!? zaphkiel-sama! zaphkiel (sweatdrop) : how disrespectful. [the moment you come in.] the terrorist who attacked the great seraphim metatron escaped, it seems like an archangel leaked out the information on how to access that area. (his room is rather messy after being searched) just look what those silent scary onii-sama guys did to our place. anyway, what did you come for? raziel : ah! that's right! actually I just heard the voice of that girl's spirit... (the room is suddenly quaking... and the water from the fish tank by the wall suddenly explodes) ! (the water forms likes a whirlpool) zaphkiel : ! (a man, that terrorist drops out of the water...) man : ah... ahh... (remember that he can't speak anymore... but he's struggling to... he seems surprised to see zaphkiel there) [this place is...!!] raziel : just where did you come from...!? zaphkiel (grabs raziel) : raziel-kun! please leave. raziel : eh!? b... but... zaphkiel (very seriously) : it's an order, leave us. raziel (a little taken aback and surprised) : y... yes... (as he is leaving he hears...) zaphkiel : you have acted rather rash, chef-dono... man : uh... raziel : [chef...?] zaphkiel : what... (the man is struggling to speak, but holding on to his throat) man : [it's no use... I really can't speak...!! but if I don't say it... my voice...] ah... ------- w... [my voice...!! force it out...!] w... we've been tricked...! everyone... j... jibrille is... sevi... 's... needle...! and... that... t... sevi's... I saw... his true form... no... if it's his true form... uh... (his whole body is beginning to split just like sevi said... then his whole head explodes in front of zaphkiel, showering zaphkiel with his blood, raziel noticed too and rushed back) zaphkiel : [... needle...!? "jibrille is... sevi's needle..." ...?] raziel (kneeling by the dead man) : zaphkiel-sama, what's really...!! zaphkiel : [the man who appeared here guided by water... protected by the water...!!] (note that he's all covered in blood by he doesn't seem to mind) raziel-kun... (raziel looks up surprised) raziel-kun, let's go to that girl's room. (meanwhile... setsuna and michael are fighting...) setsuna : damn. (make big hole in the ground) michael (in the air) : come on, come on, I'm over here! (their swords clash) voice (watching from a distance) : [amazing... they're both scary...!!] EEK~~~~~ [I would've been taken out in one hit...!] michael (a nasty smile) : heh...! you are rather conceited to hold such an impressive sword unsuitable for you. wouldn't that be too difficult for you to control? for some reason, it seems to be not getting along with my flaming sword...! the repulsion is hurting my ears. (glares at the sword) [how strange...!! what's this bad feeling...? my sword is trying to tell me something...!?] ! (he jumps back as setsuna pushed nanatsusaya a little further and made a little slash on michael's face) ! voice (cheer) : alright!! way to go setsuna!! just like that, your big sword is nothing against the holy sword nanatsusaya! michael (seems surprised) : holy sword... nanatsusaya...!? (points his sword at setsuna) ...then it means that you're the only master of the holy sword, alexiel... you are that messiah! voice (slaps his hands over his mouth... like whoops) : o... oh no. setsuna (looks at him with an annoying look and sweatdrop) : ...geez~~~~ (points to himself with a sweatdrop) that's right. well, since a lot of stuff happened, my body is as you see, my spirit went into my old body. [long story...] and I got kicked out of the evil's kingdom which used to be our base so I'm just a homeless kid now. (puts his sword down) so can we make a truce? michael. michael (looks bored) : huh? setsuna : since I don't have a problem with you personally, just fighting like this seems really stupid. (points to voice) besides, there's even this kid from the evils who exiled me who really admires me and wants to be my follower. voice (looks really pissed off) : who is!! I just don't want to see princess cry again!! setsuna : yeah, yeah. (then to michael who looks at him/her without expression) ...right? there's no reason for us to spill each other's blood right? michael : you're such a hopeless guy... (setsuna looks shocked) ...hmph, you just don't understand anything. (setsuna's blood is dripping down... michael has stabbed him in the chest, but be bad cuz the sword clearly pierced the body) the useless spill of blood is what war is all about. (same nasty smile ^^) unlike alexiel, you still do not understand the truth of war at all. on the battlefield, you kill or be killed. voice (shock) : [se...] michael : as for me... I won't forgive the evils or demons living in that filthy hell, or weak "women" who can only decorate themselves. (sounds weird T.T he means that people who only know about makeup and stuff...) your softness makes me sick. such an eyesore. go to hell! voice : [setsuna!! (setsuna seems helpless as michael is about to cut him down) there's no other way! (runs over... the next thing you know, voice blocked the attack for setsuna) because, if you die... (flashback to the evil's kingdom and kurai crying, burying her down on the table) princess will cry again. (something falls on the ground) perhaps she'll never speak to me again? (it's voice's arm)] (up in heaven, metatron is in his PJs and crying in bed) metatron : *sob, sob* (they are suppose to be sound effects x.x) mr. bunny : metatron. (metatron looks up) metatron, over here. (the bunny's waving at him) let's go to a nice place. metatron : mr. bunny...!? (looks scared and hesitant, while hugging another doll) b, but... I can't go outside... mr. bunny : it's alright, everyone's asleep. metatron (gets out of bed and follows the bunny) : [wah *heart*] mr. bunny, since when can you move? where are we going? mr. bunny : shhhh. I'm taking you somewhere you want to go. (points to a mirror) here, this is the entrance to the magical kingdom. metatron (the bunny already went in and is pulling metatron in) : wah... mr. bunny : come in, come in. (it's kinda like a whirlpool or wormhole...) that's the exit. (push metatron out) get out, get out. metatron (falls out the other end, another mirror, head first) : wahhh (and the mirror fades away... at least I thought it was a mirror all this time...) huh? (quite confused... so cute ^^ with a little cross bandaid on his head... someone appears before him) mr. bunny...? (a young man appears in front of him... he looks like... around setsuna's age... have we seen him before??? I don't remember, I don't think so... anyway... he smiles and points to something to metatron) metatron (suddenly brightens up) : AH! (jumps up, running over happily) JIBRILLE! (apparently he is in the water garden where jibrille is kept.) end of Encounter, part 2 translator's note : aha, can't believe I only mentioned setsuna's from lodoss wars, uriel's seiyuu plays the main bad guy in the first half, the guy who wants to get the staff? and raziel-kun's seiyuu is that red hair girl who always traveled with that quiet possessed guy... >.< honestly I don't remember any of their names... anyway, I'm telling you now, go download the drama soundtrack! I love 14... even though it sounds scary, I have weird taste... I think it's also because I saw the name of the track, the people of the sky... and it somehow fits perfectly in my head T.T oh yes, 4 is a good song too, I think it's kinda strange when I first heard it... but the scene that ended the yetzirah 1 cd where all the moonliel flowers bloomed was simply beautiful with that song in the background. (of course that was also the scene where zaphkiel got caught... I HATE SETSUNA *will never forgive him for it*) top volume 08 section 03 (in gehenna, noise suddenly looks at her left hand in shock) michael (picks up the broken hand) : m~an, you can't even scratch your back with this. (puts it to his mouth, there's blood all over the ground and on his sword) shall I make it dinner? Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 3 (he kicks voice who's kinda unconscious on the ground) michael : a~h, too bad. so this is a vampire of the blood sucking race who needs a lot of blood. wouldn't he die if he doesn't get the blood of his own race soon? (looks so nonchalantly at setsuna) ...then again, you're in no position to worry about anyone else right now... (setsuna is kneeling down, very badly hurt) want me to lend you a hand? here. (throws voice's arm at him) hahaha... (the hand burns up) hahahahaha (setsuna is down on the ground, sweating a lot and panting, staring at the ground, michael stands over him) now I'll put you out of your misery. this demon kid's sacrifice was useless. (just as he's about to kill the helpless setsuna... voice suddenly speaks from behind him and michael turns around surprised) voice : you moron... (lying in a pool of blood, by the way, michael's popularity did not go down at all after this chapter ~.~) moron... you're totally wrong... I did all this... all of this for princess, and not for this guy...! i... don't want princess to cry anymore...! I can't stand it... I don't want to see... the back of a girl crying. and... I haven't seen that god damn messiah's real strength yet... the proof that he is the warrior angel that we've been hoping and waiting for...! he is going to make the rotten dogs from heaven like you a bloody sacrifice...! setsuna : [i... the city I want to protect...! (looks around him] michael (while he has grabbed voice) : well said for someone about to die. setsuna : [the people who believe in me...] michael : where do you see the real messiah in this guy? eh? setsuna : [the things most dear... most dear and irreplaceable to me...] (blood spills) michael : ! (he has brought his sword down in voice, but setsuna blocked it with his arm) setsuna : [I have tainted them with blood.] (looks up at michael) that's right, michael. you are right. (look at the buildings damaged in this fight) [I turned everything into ruins.] I was wrong. michael (surprised) : [he blocked my sword with his bare hands!?] setsuna : how could I have forgotten that angels are just unreasonable savages. the proof is that the proud demons and their lord were all originally once angels. (michael has a really hard to read expression, I wonder why... T.T) the great debt for not killing you earlier will be paid here, right now. (pulls the sword out of his arm) voice, I know the only way to save you. I must take you back to anagura quickly...! (voice seems surprised) and kill this red hair archangel-sama...!! (he's being sarcastic calling michael the archangel-sama T.T anyway... wings come out of his back as he's holding nanatsusaya in his hands) michael (surprised) : [there are three total... that is the third wing...!!?] (just a note... the only people who have more wings *sounds strange* than alexiel and rociel are adam kadmon who has 6 and lucifer who has 4... which is more proof that lucifer is special ^^ anyway, setsuna looks possessed here, like he's not himself and looks really scary, there's some glowing light around his hand and he's aiming it at michael who seems to have a hard time... at least nervous) text : the power that was lost since the ancient times... the light of miracles. (up in heaven... sevotharte has come to metatron's room but he's not there) sevotharte : metatron-sama? sisters! anyone here? (no response... then he sees the sisters all lying on the floor, eyes wide open, blood coming out of their eyes and mouth, apparently dead) mr. bunny (to metatron) : I put all of the sisters to sleep quietly. do it now. (they are in the water garden... oh yes, note that he has the same hair style as metatron ^^) hurry and pull out the needle in her neck. if you do that, then jibrille will be able to speak again. metatron : needle? (looks at a needle in the back of jibrille's neck) but it looks painful... it's so deep, will I be able to pull it out? mr. bunny (smile) : you are the only one who can. metatron. come... (he guides metatron's hand to the needle) don't you love jibrille? I'll settle for just sevotharte... come... (metatron's hand is almost on the needle) pull it out... text : the time to awaken... has come. (down on earth, michael has blocked the last attack with his sword, but he's also forced against a wall, the walls around him are all broken/cracked and destroyed.) michael (panting) : interesting...!! (jump up) how very interesting!! (setsuna attacks him with another blast... he definitely looks like he's out of it... kinda like he lost his mind... and it seems like michael's going to have some trouble with blocking this attack... but just when he is trying to block it... something, like a glass shield, got in front of him and blocked it for him... it all cracked into pieces of course... just like glass and fell apart, but setsuna's attack was also pushed back.) michael : !? (look at the fallen pieces) [a wall of vacuum created by wind...!?] (turn to look the other way) damn you... (raphael is standing there looking as calm and cool as always) what the hell are you doing, raphael!! (raphael looks at setsuna/alexiel, and setsuna look at him too but things are barely registering in his head) setsuna (his eyes are glowing >.<) : [raphael... ra...pha...] michael : how dare you get in my way, you hentai doctor!! (I think most people know what hentai means... I'll probably use that and perverted interchangeably) raphael : sorry to interrupt your fun but won't you give a little thought about your surroundings? you have already reached the limit of this dimension, if you guys get serious, earth which exists inside this unstable time space will explode. michael : I don't give a fuck about what happens to earth! plus there's no turning back. look! that guy's eyes. he... can't hear our voices anymore. he's completely gone...! just earlier he wanted me to take him to you...!! (setsuna does look like he's gone) raphael : that's not all, mika-chan. she is the organic angel alexiel who was born with her twin the inorganic angel rociel to share the six wings...! they (the wings) control all of the universal elements. it was said that god did it (created the twin) to seal the power enough to destroy the world. that third wing is the relic...! it was that wing that destroyed assiah before. [the mark of the messiah...!!] a human like him still shouldn't be able to control it...!! (looks worried) and if we're caught in that...!! michael (his nasty smile again) : no telling what'll happen huh? (licks the blood on his sword) therefore I have to make sure!! if you get in my way again, I'll kill you!! raphael : stop it, mika-chan!! michael (while rushing up to attack setsuna, yells back) : don't call me that!! (big explosion in midair) voice (barely conscious on the ground) : amazing... [that... is setsuna's real... real power...the legendary woman who will avenge our people and lead us to victory... the true messiah... is here...... (faints) (up in heaven, metatron's hand is just about on the needle and sevotharte suddenly comes in) sevotharte : metatron-sama!! what are you doing? metatron (surprise) : sevi!! mr. bunny (fading away) : hurry!! (and metatron pulled out the needle... in a flash of light...) jibrille : ! (in zaphkiel's basement... sara's soul is suddenly very unstable) raziel : ah! zaphkiel-sama!! that girl's spirit...! sara : don't... setsuna... (raziel watches in surprise, zaphkiel is expressionless) (on earth... a lot of water seems to be drawn from all over the place and gathers into a ball above setsuna and mika-chan) sara : ~don't~ michael (watching the streams of water passing him) : ? sara : ~you mustn't do that... (a big water ball forms above setsuna and michael) everyone... will die... (sara's spirit breaks out of that water sphere, crying) just like I did...~ (everyone looks in shock) michael : w... what the hell is that...!? setsuna : sa... [SARA...!!] raphael : [now!!] (he breaks a wind barrier around mika-chan and pulls him away...) michael (surprise) : wha...!? (knocking on the barrier) what are you doing, raphael!! I'll kill you!! sto...!! (but they both disappear in a sphere of wind) (only sara and setsuna are left... both in their spiritual bodies so setsuna is actually setsuna and not alexiel... they just look at each other) sara : ~setsu...na...? setsuna...? is it you...? ah... I knew it. it's onii-chan inside.~ setsuna (reaching out for sara's hand) : sara. (their hands almost touch) SARA!! (sara's image suddenly melts into water) sara (crying) : ~...no. I don't want to be separated again... no...~ (but she fades away, and setsuna is left there with drops of water in his hand, and a small pool of water on the ground) (up in heaven) raziel : the girl's spirit disappeared...!? zaphkiel (almost looks a little angry??? almost...) : [it's him... he wrote the script...!!! (meaning "he" planned all this out)] (on earth) setsuna (seems so sad) : sa... text : a drama of disappointment and horror. setsuna (a large part of the city is destroyed) : SARA...!! text : everything was the clever manipulation of that man from the shadows. it's not that setsuna doesn't have a guardian angel, but because this time it's not an angel. (in the water garden) jibrille (slowly waking up) : no... n... metatron : j... jibrille!! text : don't worry about where the girl's spirit went. jibrille : just when i... finally met... setsuna... text : because in his hands... jibrille : setsu... sevotharte (points his staff to jibrille who is still kinda out of it) : your... text : is the original body. sevotharte : name is? jibrille (eyes slowly open) : I am... sara... mudou sara... end of Encounter, part 3 translator's note : ah yes, I believe I've been asked to translate yuki-sensei's funny little notes on the side... well... I think I will, but save it for the author page ^^ ara... what am I doing... ESSAY!!! oh and yes, I will definitely translate the end note for vol 14, it's all about seiyuus ^^ as for this volume, for those who haven't went ahead and read the story spoilers etc... this is quite a shock nee? then again... how many people don't read spoilers??? >.< top volume 08 section 04 Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 4 (flashback to the moment when sara appeared briefly) text : that was... a moment of illusion. setsuna : s... sara. text : just when I was about to touch it, it was blown away. what was it exactly? why was sara taken away...? but if it wasn't for that, this dimension could have been destroyed once again when I went berserk...!! voice (on the ground, suffering from the loss of blood) : uh... setsuna : that's right!! voice!! damn... I don't know when my wounds healed but...! michael was right, we must return to anagura to get you blood or you will die. [remember this...!! you red hair brat...!!] I'm calling the dragon now, voice! I won't let you be killed!! (in heaven) text : what... happened exactly...!? why was it... back then... and, where am I now...? setsuna (flashback) : [sara...!!] jibrille : sara... mudou... sara... where am...? setsu... na...? ... (and she faints again) metatron (running up) : jibrille!! what's wrong? (and he suddenly looks around really scared, sevi looks very scary T.T) don't be mad... sevi... (kinda nervous) i... i... it's not my fault, it's all mr. bunny's fault! (the bunny is not lying quietly against a wall, no life in it at all) I only pulled out the needle like mr. bunny told me to and jibrille is... (sevi waves his hand, metatron looks really scared) YAH! (and sevi blasts the bunny into many pieces... ^^;;) metatron : mr. bunny!! (looks horrified at the pieces of the bunny on the ground) sevotharte : jibrille will be taken to her room later by the sisters. come with me. (turn around coldly) do you wish to anger me further? (metatron gets up sobbing, leaving the bunny behind and tagging along sevi...) metatron (looks back at the unconscious jibrille, or should I say sara) : jibrille... (next, we're back in hell, someone's putting on a glove... hm... not that many people wear gloves ^^;; and looks through a pool of water or something... inside the reflection of the water is noise who seems to be suffering, leaning against a wall) noise : [it's voice... voice is back...! something happened to his body...!! but... (close up of her left hand, there's a mark of a goat's head on the back of her hand) but... i... already...!] (in another part of gehenna) kira : ! he's close by... setsuna... arakune (smoking, leaning against the wall) : ...? how do you know...? ah, setsuna always holds your real body. [no wonder you can see everything.] kira : we have synchronized during the war so I know everything he's thinking. I know they are closing in right now. [on earth... just now during the fierce battle I felt it, his love for the earth... and his anger and hatred for the red hair man who hurt voice. and... his painful yearnings for sara...! arakune : hmph... you know because you've been always guarding that kid from the shadows? what a creepy man. why don't you just tell him what you think? or perhaps you still don't understand your own feelings after following him for a few thousand years? kira (looks at her expressionlessly) : don't take things with your useless transvestite mindset. arakune (big vein) : what did you say!? (the dragon is flying closer to gehenna... noise is still having a little ordeal with herself) noise : d... don't... I said don't...!! no...!! (tightly holding her left hand) DON'T COME OUTTTT!! (at the gates of gehenna) evils : the messiah has returned!! kurai (hears the news, surprised) : setsuna what!? evils : how dare she come back! go home!! you spy of heaven!! setsuna (carrying voice who's unconscious) : don't you see this!? this is no time to say things like that! if you don't want him to die, then open your gates and give him blood!! hurry up! you fools! evils : voice!! d... did you cut off voice's arm on purpose...!? (so to make them open the gates) setsuna (shock) : [wha...!] evils (throwing stuff at them) : you coward!! this is surely like heaven's methods!! you bastard! (they threw a rock and setsuna shields voice, though he got knocked on the head, and is bleeding. he looks up at the people angrily) setsuna : what if...! what if that thing hit voice!! don't you people care about your friend!? after we save him, I don't care what you do to me!! I'm just an outsider after all, but isn't voice different? it's alright if you don't trust me, but you have to at least take him in!! (he's basically kneeling on the ground begging) please!! I don't want him to die!! [I can endure all the humiliation, but I can't let you die. voice... this cannot be compared to your pains...!] evils (surprised) : [he shielded voice with his body...!? I... I can't believe... the messiah bowed down to us...!!] ! (the air in the surrounding is changing... and something materializes in midair) agate : ~what are you doing, do you wish for your friend's death!?~ evils : th...!? that's... (turns around in shock, a dragon appeared in the sky) the dragon... god!!? agate : ~can't you even differentiate between truth and lies with your own heart? hurry up and open the gates.~ evils : [the guardian gods who can only be seen by the head of the evil's clan...!!] ah...! [one of those dragon gods has appeared for the sake of this angel...!?] y... yes! (they quickly open the gates and people came out to get voice... setsuna looks up...) setsuna : was it... kurai? (kurai was standing on top of some old structure, and has called back the dragon. a close up and she looks really sad... meanwhile in heaven, michael and raphael has obviously returned ^^;; and geez michael is pissed off) michael : how dare you... how dare you do this, raphael!! as one of the four great angels, you turned around and ran away from the enemy!! raphael : if I didn't stop you then, things would've gotten really out of hand. michael : what!? raphael : isn't assiah currently in a state of frozen time? even so, the area where you came to contact with and fought at was still destroyed. which means that it's possible that the location were you guys were fighting at was moving in time, even slightly. if time was really stopped, there was no way it would be affected by outside influence. ...as for why? I suppose it was affected by the presence of the messiah? [the messiah has the power to control time which would explain that time began to flow due to his presence.] alexiel and rociel both inherited the blood of the master of time magic, adam kadmon -------- or so the great throne zaphkiel said. michael : I don't give a damn about what that weird old man has to say! was that reason why you stopped me!? raphael : ...no. ...mika-chan, when you were fighting him, didn't you have a strange mischievous feeling, like you're heating up? michael (seems a little surprised, grab raphael's shirt) : ...you, what are you hiding from me!? raphael : mika-chan, it's better that you do not get involved with him. (looks calm and deadly serious) because you... can't win. (the look on michael's face, like he's gonna blow up, he punches raphael in the face...) michael : I am gonna lose to a guy like that!? so you came to save me!? heh, bullshit!! if you underestimate me like that again, I'll kill you too! (walking away angrily) I'm not your friend anymore!! I don't want to see your face again! raphael (on the ground, with a funny face, think) : not my friend anymore... [are you still in elementary school?] (get up, wiping his face where's he's been hit) ...because... mika-chan... you'll be destroyed right...? (there's a sketch of someone in the background... face mostly not visible... except really evil looking eyes) (in gehenna, everyone's basically trying to work on voice... all the doctors etc.) kurai : voice!! doctors : it's no good... not enough blood!! he will die if we don't get more. but there are not that many of the vampire race left in evils... and for a healthy young one... setsuna (running out) : his twin noise should be around!! I'll go find her!! ! (noise is already standing at the door, but she looks terrible) noise!? since when have you... noise : I can't... setsuna : eh? noise : I can't... give my blood... to voice! my blood... is tainted...! setsuna (grab her hand, turns out to be the left hand) : what are you talking about, hurry! noise (struggling) : ! (then setsuna's hand touched the mark on her left hand, and the mark started glowing) beast (a demon beast came out of the mark) : don't touch me... don't touch me... with that holy body...! everyone (shock) : a beast!? arakune : that thing is...!? I see... that bruise mark is the symbol to summon demons...! that mark was put on her by the demon lord's servant "the mad hatter"! the monster has been growing in her since then. kurai : demon lord!? arakune : I've found it strange that noise was acting weird since then... stirring up the anxiety of the people and hunting down the messiah...! setsuna : so it was all your doing! beast : even if I had not done so, thing would still end this way... it is destined that the child of heaven will never be in peace with the citizens of darkness...! no matter what the evils do, they can only struggle to survive at the feet of the demon lord lucifer-sama...! aren't you just the same? the princess of evils. (point to kurai who looks surprised) well... which will you believe? the weak and dying people of evils...! kurai : [this guy... is talking about the engagement with the demon lord...!!] beast : the words of your comrade of the same lineage, messenger of the great empire of darkness, or this heaven's spy messiah who's continuously betraying everyone...! (to kurai, setsuna and everyone else's surprise, voice suddenly got up) voice : you can never match the messiah. you're just way off... evils (probably doctors) : voice!! don't move or you'll die! what's wrong with you! voice (shouting) : shut up!! shut up and listen! at first I did doubt this unreliable and weird messiah... but I felt it with my own eyes, my own body, and I understood... the true power he possess...!! (setsuna seems really surprised) have you ever seen it? a miracle... I saw with my own eyes ... it was beautiful...! (he's referring to the time when wings came out of alexiel's back... somehow, when it's with alexiel, everyone's like WOW, when it's setsuna, they're like, this unreliable, idiot, weirdo etc... >.<) he is invincible... there's no such things as impossible or limits at all. and in this hopeless war... this messiah has shown me hope...! (kurai seems surprised too) everyone, make no mistake. open your eyes, find the truth that you cannot see with your own eyes. everyone... you must see the truth with your own eyes...! (everyone's silent for a moment in awe) beast : silence! you dying little brat...!! have you been poisoned by heaven? or are you still asleep! where in this woman is the power of miracles! (attack setsuna) watch! (but before he even touches setsuna, many many weapons hits his body from all around, all the evils) beast : i... im... pos... sible...! (falls down dying) I... curse you. ...the sinful people, the evil race. this... is an act of betrayal to the demon lord...! if you anger the demon lord lucifer-sama... all of you... (setsuna stabs a sword into his mouth) setsuna : much better. (smiles at voice, voice smiles back with a thumbs up, and faints) kurai (run up) : voice!! evils (putting voice back to bed) : what a guy. he's almost dead... and he still tried to get up. noise! are you alright too!? noise (just seems a little weak) : I'm... alright now... hurry... give voice... my blood...! (and she smiles at setsuna) evils : anyway... we thank you... messiah. setsuna : same here. evils : truthfully... we still do not trust you completely as of now... but as you can see, we are just a bunch of rough outsiders. it's impossible for a half hearted messiah to unite us. but you seem to have done exceptionally well. (shake setsuna's hand) and no matter what, you are the one our most beloved princess found and trusts. seems like you are even more reliable than a man. setsuna (while shaking the guy's hand) : [yeah, because I really am a guy. (sweatdrop)] evils : can't see you as either angel or human. arakune (watching this whole scene with kira) : truly an mysterious child... and to think voice use to hate him so much... kira : ...... kurai (not looking too bright) : ...... [the messenger from hell...!] mad hatter (flashback) : we will come for you one day, our bride. (in sheol... if you remember the beginning of the chapter, someone was putting on gloves, and looking through what seems to be a pool of water??? well, that pool of water is a wine glass... and right now, kurai's image is reflected from it) mad hatter : that was merely the hors d'oeuvre, princess. (sitting alone at the head of a banquet table, holding the wine glass) my show has just begun. ---------yes, as long as she is there, I still have many more tricks up my sleeve. (the dishes on the table includes cooked children with mixed fruits *???* remind you of the house of atreus???) because you know, the true mark of the demon is in a place that cannot be seen. (ok so it's not a wine glass but a hollow horn *????????* but she's using it like a wine glass) (oh and... I should mention that this is a very good place to see what we mean by flat-chested. basically also why many people thought she's a guy... anyway... up in heaven, the back door alley of metatron's palace, 2 sisters find the bunny doll sitting there on the stairs) sister 1 : huh? isn't this metatron-sama's treasure? sister 2 : oh you're right. but why is it here...? (the bunny looks COMPLETELY normal... not a scratch on it) let's return it to his room. end of Encounter, part 4 translator's note : I'm sorry but now I'm cracking up every time I see raphael ^^;; I keep on linking him to sesshoumaru *sigh* they are both so cool but in different ways... I guess in inu yasha I still like kikyou and inu yasha the most... but sesshoumaru and miroku would come in equally as second place ^^ aha... I was reading lost angel (finally...) and it solved one of the biggest confusions I could never figure out before >.< just exactly who was this sakakie character??? read the world page and find out. top volume 08 section 05 Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 5 (just floating in space) text : where? where is this place---------? i... wasn't I searching for someone--------? this is paradise, with wonderful scents and a gentle breeze blowing. a sorrowful place full of memories. such beautiful scenery. but, I have the feeling this is not the place I'm searching for. because someone is sad, angry and painful, wailing on the verge of despair. no. don't you see? earth is crying in tears, earth is crying in tears of blood. (image of earth covered in blood, and sara lying unconsciously in a flower bed) no... everyone will be destroyed. hurry... must awaken... hurry... I want to see him... before my chest... bursts in pain and sorrow--------- (the scene dissolves into water... meanwhile... *SPLASH* this is the second time setsuna's been attacked like this >.<) kurai (setsuna get hit directly in the face) : don't look!! setsuna : wha!? (his eyes are closed due to the water) kurai (glare at him angrily) : didn't I tell you keep your eyes shut until the purification is over!? you pervert!! setsuna (yelling and screaming with a vein on his head, scaring all the evil women who are trying to purify him) : isn't this originally my body!? kurai : hellz no!! it's a hundred years too early for you to see alexiel-sama's beautiful body! setsuna (eyes closed, sweatdrop) : anyway it's only going to see the dragon god, why do I have to take a bath! (thinking) grr, what's wrong with just taking a peek. kurai : moron. these people usually only listens to the royal family, and they got pride higher than the eiffel tower. since the ancient times, the three dragon god sisters were worshipped by the evil race and would help us in desperate times. they'll be crossed by any disrespectful acts. especially the youngest who appeared for your sake has got an attitude problem. [that damn brat.] setsuna (getting dressed now) : the youngest? (scene switches to meeting the dragons...) agate : I really have no complaints! since it was by the wish of my master, and my older sisters were also urging me on... but even though I'm the youngest, I never thought a dragon god like me would appear in front of the common people in that form. but to think that the weak and helpless messiah-sama can be saved by my strength, I became not angry at all. (close up of her looking mockingly at setsuna) yes, not at all... setsuna (stares back) : [this is really the green dragon from earlier? why does she look so ridiculously comical. (sweatdrop)] (whispering to kurai with an arm around her neck, while glaring at the dragon) what a cute talking dragon god------------ (vein) [hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey can I kill her?] kurai (>.<) : [bare with it------- ouch] so now you understand my pain? jade : that's enough agate! nice to meet you, human of alexiel's reincarnation. I am the eldest dragon with the vision of the future jade. this is the fire dragon amber. and please forgive the rudeness of the youngest, agate. (if you remember for long long ago, she's blind) I must apologize for all the rudeness you have encountered from the people until now... and I want to thank you. because you risked your life and returned... our child voice was saved. although his hand cannot return, they are operating to regenerate his left hand right now. setsuna : regenerate!? jade : taking the life forms who live in the earth of hell and attaching them to the missing parts will restore those to their original form. setsuna (seems relieved) : [kinda like an artificial arm...] (smile) I see... that's good......! jade : anyway... do you remember the strange events on earth before? setsuna (surprised) : you... sensed that!? you... jade : since I'm a water dragon as well, I can read the energy of the same origin. she was most definitely under the protection of water. setsuna : water... that's right! back then she did appear from the water, so suddenly like a dream...! but sara should have been taken to shikouten!! kurai (looks hurt on the side) : [sara!?] setsuna : back then... when michael hurt voice, I completely lost my mind and my power was unleashed... and... and she appeared as if to stop me... and I returned to normal. sara... sara saved me again...! she... was crying...! (flashback) she's somewhere alone even now, calling me......!! i... I have to hurry and save her...! and beside I want to break loose from alexiel's shadow. I want to return to my own body... "mudou setsuna" soon. but to do that I have to drag raphael out of heaven to revive my body. and I want to fight after I've returned to myself. I want to fight as myself... and go get sara......! she is waiting for me even now......! no matter how dangerous it is......! kurai (looks depressed on the side) : [setsuna's world begins and ends with sara. what a fool he is.] sara, sara, do you only worry about girls? [what a moron.] what a beast. setsuna (knock on kurai's head) : ah~~~? what are you so mad about? kurai : stop it! setsuna : what does a kid like you understand. you haven't seriously loved anyone, have you? [alexiel-sama doesn't count.] kurai (explode in his face) : of course I love someone!! you just don't know that there's even some guy who wants me to marry him! (setsuna looks taken aback for a second... and then looks at her with a really funny face... while kurai has this "oh no" look) [AH! crap! (sweatdrops) that's suppose to be a secret...!] setsuna (sweatdrop) : is that guy... voice? (looks at her curiously) so you've already advanced to that stage? [you're just kids, that's fast... (sweatdrops)] kurai : [how did we get into this!?] d... dumbass!! not him! we have nothing to do with each other now!! so don't bother about my life. setsuna : what, we're friends. aren't you just like my little sister? kurai (fist...) : [sister-------?] setsuna (looks serious for a moment) : -------no, not really......... kurai : [...eh?] setsuna (big smile) : more like my little brother. (kurai looks so angry... hair standing up ^^;; and she steps on setsuna's foot... HARD) setsuna : OUCH------!! kurai (runs outta there) : [YOU BIG STUPID ASS-----------!!] setsuna : ouch! this is why I said you're still a kid!! (sweatdrops, and looks a little pissed) [what the hell was that.] kira (enters) : you've always been slow about these things... (setsuna turns around surprised... and he thinks back to then...) [i...] setsuna : senpai...! kira (flashback) : [hated alexiel...... I want to kill her.] setsuna : [I don't know if those words are true. what I do know is... senpai did not say a word to try to explain----------] (kira looks... hard to read... as always, then some evil kid comes in and interrupts) evil : messiah! voice's operation is done. he wants to see you so please go. setsuna : I see... I got it. evil : he asked for princess too but... setsuna : oh, she went that way. (and turns around and leaves) ......! kira (didn't say anything... just looked at setsuna leaving) : ...... (for some reason... he looked kinda sad to me... anyway... that same evil kid caught up with kurai who's sitting alone somewhere, looking depressed) evil : so you're here, voice's been calling for you, princess. kurai (looks up at him) : ! (the guy has a slight smile, kurai glares at him angrily) how dare you... (blast of energy) how dare you show your face like that!! mad hatter! (the guys turned back into mad hatter and is on the ground while kurai is grabbing her shirt angrily) mad hatter (laughing) : you found out, my dear princess. kurai (angrily) : of course, did you think your pathetic anagura accent can fool me!! (and she felt mad hatter's flat chest) hm? (jumps up looking shocked) y... you're not a woman after all!! mad hatter : huh? kurai : your chest is flat------- mad hatter (with a "oh, that" expression) : ah, but what I told you was not a lie. kurai (sweatdrops) : eh? [you're a new half? *people of both genders ^^;;;*] mad hatter (cute smile) : do you want to make sure with your own eyes? see, have I done any operations? kurai (turning pale) : wah-------- moron!! who said I wanted to see!? (the matter hatter takes off her coat, kurai covering her face) don't take it off~~~~~!! [you freak------------] (but through a peek between her fingers, she saw...) ...what's that? (no the mad hatter did not strip... ^^;; she only took off her outside coat and has a dress inside, and she revealed her leg to kurai... with the tattoo of a butterfly on it) mad hatter : "since the ancient times... butterflies are seen as the incarnation of a noble spirit, seducing those who look upon them with their beauty. with their poisonous dust, they lead those they capture blindly to death. yet your lustful butterfly can spread its wings for anyone." ...that is what the demon lord-sama said when we first met. that was when I was still a Virtue before I had fallen. (*hint, hint* who is the Great Virtue???) kurai (with a sweatdrop, thinking) : ah---- I was really scared when she started stripping. (a little confused...) ......? then the demon lord has seen that too? what were you wearing when you first met him, don't tell me you were naked. mad hatter : of course not. I was properly wearing a garter belt and a hat. (kurai froze with sweatrdops on her head...) in truth I am... (the words in the background says "declaration") a nymphomaniac on top of being a libertine who lusts for flesh...... (you can only see kurai's feet in the air in the background) that's why even when I was a Virtue, I avoided boredom by risking my life to seduce the stubborn elite angels. when they were frightened that the authorities were about to find us, I would send in a double and secretly report this in the meantime. some of them hung themselves on a cross in the end with regrets of the sin they committed... when I met lucifer-sama, he had seen through my double crossing trick, it was just when one of the men had killed another and then committed suicide. my lord who had found our secret scolded me in an emotionless, cold and mechanical tone. he looked down at me with those arrogant and disdain eyes cold as ice... [since that time---------] (smile cutely) I had decided (on my own) that I would follow him for the rest of my life (no matter how much trouble it is for the other person). [he really hates me and wouldn't even look at me---- but it feels so good for some reason...] kurai (yelling with sweatdrops T.T) : how the hell did you get that conclusion----!! mad hatter : don't you think that it's normal to want to be terribly scorned and spat on and kicked by the person you love? (very cute smile) [though I usually kick with high heels.] kurai (hopelessly) : don't say it's normal!! [that's just wrong!!] text (kurai looks up with a sweatdrop) : wait. then it means that this freak is searching for the demon lord's bride out of this twisted love? (the words "this freak" is marked out and an arrow leads to point to the mad hatter who has a cute smile and devil looking wings and tail ^^) mad hatter (pointing to herself) : huh? this freak? kurai (seems rather upset) : [is it really alright?] that's so strange. (she's thinking about setsuna and sara) [to watch silently, the person you love being together with another woman] even though you know he doesn't love you, why do you still like him!? what's so good about that guy......!! [and if... it was me... if it was me...] (the mad hatter has a slightly sad smile for an instant) mad hatter (reach into her hat... guess she doesn't like to continue this convo) : oh yes, I've brought what you really want. (takes out a small checker colored box) this is... pandora's box. inside is the magical potion of resurrection... "elixir". it was made by hell's necromancers from the immortal dragon's living blood and the mandragora itosugy (don't ask, I have no idea what that is) etc. the secret potion of the secret potions. just put it inside the messiah's corpse and his body will awaken. however, if you open this box, the tunnel leading to sheol will also open. which means, the time when you use this potion, is the time that you will be called upon and escorted to hell...... the time you become the demon lord lucifer-sama's bride. kurai (holding the box, looks kinda lost... guess it was too much info in such a short time) : how... (a bright light flash comes from mad hatter) ! eh? why did you change again... (the mad hatter turned back into the boy before... because...) setsuna (appear) : kurai! I've been looking for you. kurai (surprise) : setsuna!? setsuna (big smile, no idea of the stuff that just went on here) : voice's operation is done, let's go together. I'm sure he'll be glad if you come. kurai (still looks somewhat confused) : ah... uh... mad hatter (gives kurai a key) : princess... this is the key of pandora's box. (setsuna looks really shocked... so does kurai... as the mad hatter suddenly pulled kurai close and kissed her) kurai (struggles free in shock) : ! mad hatter (slight smile) : princess... that sad expression on your face... is so cute. kurai (still in shock) : wha... [(sees setsuna in shock) setsuna he... setsuna saw that...!] it... it's not like that! (yelling at setsuna, trying to explain) this guy's really... (but when she turned around, the mad hatter is already gone... only the pandora's box is left) [if the person I like got together with someone else in front of my eyes... If I had no place inside his heart... if it was me... I would break apart. I definitely won't be able to take it......] (she seems sad... maybe for herself, maybe for the mad hatter... for some reason setsuna's face pops up in her head... anyway... in heaven... sevotharte is standing next to jibrille's bed, jibrille/sara seems calm and sleeping) text : jibrille...! now... you appear before me looking like that once again. but before you awaken again, before that... (sevi's hand reaches for jibrille, a vase of flowers on the near by table shakes... and water from the vase suddenly shoots out and hit sevi's hand) sevotharte (a little wet) : h... hmph... attempting to protect your master even while she's asleep. how shrewd. (breaks the vase into pieces) sara (lying on the bed unconscious... sevi probably left) : [the scent... of water... what... is this place? seems like I've slept for a really long time... (flashback to the scene on earth) ah, but I found it. yes, because I've always been searching for him. he called my name. look, now he reached out his hand at me.] text : ...SA...RA... (and at that point, jibrille/sara just suddenly awakens... meanwhile, in sevi's room... he took off his mask and is staring at himself in the mirror) sevotharte : [if water can wash everything away... then let everything be washed away. everything can be clean eventually no matter how filthy it is. then why am i... (touch his reflection in the mirror) the most ugly appearance in this world...! I don't want to see this face... and this body... (grip his own shirt, the door to his room is opened slightly) it must... never be seen by anyone. (sara is standing by the door) sara : is... anyone here...? (sevi turns around in surprise... with his mask off... *no, as the reader, you still don't see his face*) end of Encounter, part 5 translator's note : ah, I'm tired... can I not follow what the japanese is saying word from word and just make my own sentences as long as it makes sense??? ahhhhhhhhhhh I can't take it... all setsuna is thinking about is sara... GRRRR and it's all his fault that kira and zaphkiel died... come on, my 2 favorite people DIED because of him *kill kill kill* ah well... kira came back... later... but you know... if you were reading the bi-monthly chapters, you wouldn't have known that he would come back... must've been heartbroken, all those people... ~.~ top volume 08 section 06 Angel Sanctuary - Jahannam Act II : Encounter, Part 6 text : this body must not been seen by anyone. yes, no matter who is it--------- (sevi turns around and sees sara standing by the door) sara : who's there...? text : no matter------- (sevi whips out a needle and is about to stab sara... but his hand pauses a few centimeters before the needle touches sara... well, because sara is just standing there, with no reaction.) sara : why is it all quiet...? why is this place so dark...? hey, is anyone there? (the mirror behind sevotharte cracks from his motion of taking out the needle before... and the sound of broken glass seems to be really traumatizing for sara) sara : [......! (covers her ears in pain) !? it shattered... the ruby... ring...!?] I was... at that time... [I was killed!?] (all her memories flashes by really quick, and I guess he just couldn't take it... fainted again... and slipped down against a wall) sevotharte (surprised) : someone... someone get over here! get me raphael! (in gehenna) text : *squeak, squeak* (ok... this is not such a good translations... it's just some sort of japanese sound effects with no direct translation T.T) in the squeaking sounds... (no... it's not really squeak T.T what do you think gichigichi can be translated as???) evil kid 1 : yo! what's that? (pointing to a pile of dirt) evil kid 2 : I don't know, but I heard that the beast that possessed noise-neechan is buried here! they say the messiah did it. text : swarms of flying insects are coming. evil kid 1 : eh--------- that messiah nee-chan is beautiful but so scary------- evil kid 2 : idiot, I heard he's really a guy. evil kid 1 : what, he's a transvesitite! evil kid 2 (dragging the first away) : enough, let's get out of this creepy place! text : the sound of a wheel that rattles like the bone. (a hand poke out of the ground... bony hand) beast : [you will never be freed from the cursed chains. the people of evils...!!] text (the two kids turn around in surprise) : I smelled the blood of sacrifice. gather here, the servants of darkness, on this moonlight night, to the land of this midnight sabat. (blood spills... *poor kids*) (meanwhile, kurai seems really pissed off at setsuna... again *duh...*) kurai : tomorrow... you're going to shikouten alone!? (ok... it's either that, or "you're going to supreme heaven alone" .......................... I think I choose shikouten ~.~) setsuna : even if you launch a full attack, the evil's battle power can't match shikouten. plus I am still not use to this body and they have sara as a hostage. and to take care of all these disadvantages, I've decided to drag the angel raphael who controls that resurrection spell here. and of course I'm going myself because it's for my own sake, although we don't know anything about him other than he's a great angel. kurai : do you understand how dangerous that is? (yell) don't kid yourself!! do you understand the position you are in!? that you are the messiah who's the top wanted figure in heaven!? sakuya! don't just stand there, stop setsuna!! do you want setsuna to be killed by the angels!? kira (no response) : ......... kurai : SAKUYA! evil : nee-sama... kurai : say something, aren't you worried!? (just as all the other evils in the room are listening quietly to their conversation... some none human hand/claw appears behind one of the evils) evil : AHHHHH (kurai and setsuna turn around in surprise) beast : the princess is right... (the evil is dead on the floor, and the beast is chewing on someone's hand... maybe the kids', or it could be this woman's) as the treacherous messiah, and the evils who accepted him, will face a blood stained world at the end of your path... only death...!! evils (someone... not sure who... could be kurai) : you are...!? the beast who appeared out of noise's hand here...!? impossible! you were definitely dead... kira : hey! what did you do to the bones afterwards!? arakune : i... I think it was buried in the courtyard... kira : undead...! *kanji reads something like the none dead spiritual spell* arakune : eh? kira : just like the feathers the mad hatter left the last time, if everything is not burnt and purified, the corpse will be resurrected. even with one lump of flesh or one piece of bone, they can resurrect again and again. beast (attack kira) : you know a lot for a human! (it makes a cut on kira's arm... but... suddenly looks really shocked) ...!? (kira senpai had a really *dark* look for an instant on his face... as he drew his katana) you are...!? (kira drew the sword and cut the thing's head off... by the way, it looked like skeletons to begin with, so this would be the skull... blood spills) h... how can... (head falls on the floor) this be...? setsuna : senpai!! your wound... kira : it's fine. my wound will heal soon. setsuna (looks at the beast in disgust) : I can't stand being stalked by this freaky guy, I better hurry and go to heaven...! voice (suddenly enter) : I'm going to! (looking at his new hand, meanwhile, another evil behind him is carrying setsuna's body) I'm not gonna rest until I return the favor to that red hair angel for this hand. setsuna : voice!? isn't that my body! then you went to earth to break the barrier...!? you've just had an operation...!! voice (big smile) : we can't just leave it there after the angel's seen it right? and I have to prove to everyone that I'm fine now! see, I'm fine now, so I'm going with you! setsuna (arms crossed) : NO WAY!! (firmly) nooo! I'm not getting anyone else involved again, I had enough! (the beast's hand is still moving on the ground, and it looked like it was going to grab setsuna, but voice's new arm, now stretchable, pins it down) setsuna : ! voice (a dark look on his face) : I will never let that happen again... every time I see this arm, I remember my vows...! of the pains of this arm...! of my ignorance and weakness...! I will not put to waste what I have lost... and what you have taught me...! I am coming no matter what you say...! (setsuna looks surprised... then with a give in sigh...) setsuna (give up) : ah-- geez!! why am I surrounded by stubborn men!? (while voice has a triumphant smile) I give up... really. kurai (looks sad on the side, alone) : [it's no good... I've known that all along. it's useless no matter how I try to stop it.] beast (the head/skull on the ground) : just throwing your life away, what a foolish messiah...! there are many other not dangerous methods...! voice (yelling down at it) : you bastard!! shut up. I'm incinerating you this time... (incinerating ^^ what a good word, I think it's just because I've been burning up a lot test papers lately ^^;;) kurai (suddenly) : I'll do it. (takes the beast's head) I will purify him alone... setsuna (surprised) : kurai...? kurai : everyone leave or I'll be distracted... setsuna : what are you talking about, kurai...! you're acting strange. kurai (snap at him) : since setsuna does everything on his own, I should have that right too! everyone get out!! (setsuna seems really surprised as kurai closed the door to the next room in his face) setsuna (knock) : kurai...!? [what's wrong with her...!? she's been acting strange... that's right, ever since that man appeared...! (he's thinking about the mad hatter, doesn't know she's a woman yet) something is starting to get crazy... (in the next room, kurai has placed the skull in a bird cage... and placed it on a table, and she's sitting by it, talking to it) kurai : a method without setsuna having to die... you meant what is inside this box? [the pandora's box with the miracle potion of resurrection that the mad hatter gave me... but when I use this key to open it, it's the time I become the demon lord's bride...! beast : open it, unlock the forbidden doors. princess. then that messiah can return to his original body without trouble and you shall become the queen of the demon realm. mad hatter (suddenly appear, like she always does) : if you can't have that man, then forget him. hey, you do want happiness, don't you? (smile at kurai) kurai : ...happiness? mad hatter : the demon lord will definitely eliminate those hateful angels and avenge the evils. then as the queen of everything in this universe, everything you want will be yorus. kurai : ----------- I don't love the demon lord. mad hatter (looks up at the night sky with a distant gaze) : my lord is more noble, wise and beautiful than anyone. once you meet him, even you will surely wish to have his love. poor princess... the pain hurts so much in your heart... the messiah is only indulged in his own lover and does not care about you! even though you are so cute... kurai : cute? I am? mad hatter : yes, more than anyone. kurai : even more than sara? mad hatter (wipe out a handkerchief) ...that answer... is meaningless if it comes from me right? (just like a magician, wave the big piece of cloth *was the handkerchief* around kurai) eins twei drei kurai : mad hatter...!? (well... a little cinderella magic... kurai has transformed... into a much more grown up version... longer hair, nice body, even has a nice dress... very feminine looking) kurai : ! eh...? this... mad hatter : yes... this is your true appearance in the future... as you are now... even he will undoubtedly choose you. no man will refuse you now...! (kurai is surprised, the mad hatter in this particular picture has her black wings out ^^ looks nice) but remember, the cinderella magic will only work tonight. when this beautiful full moon that raises the power of love magic sets, you will be yourself once again... now, quickly go to your love, princess... this is the last chance to stop him. kurai : [as I am now...] mad hatter : you can capture his heart...! kurai : [as I am now, he will really choose me...? (setsuna's smiling face surfaces again) setsuna...!!] (she leaves) beast : ...is it really alright? if the messiah really chooses the princess... mad hatter : heheh... I'm a strange one. because I am "the mad hatter"... kurai (opening the door to setsuna's room) : [as I am now... (setsuna is asleep) setsuna...!! (stand next to his bed) even... even if it's by the power of the moon or anything else, as long as setsuna is mine...] setsuna (in his sleep) : hm...? [something... the warmth feels so good... the sweet scent... that is has, like the flower's... the gentle breath... the feeling of touching that soft skin... ah... I recognize it. (kurai's hand is reaching to touch setsuna's face) a girl's... scent, the girl I love...!] (he grabs kurai in his sleep... basically hugs her) kurai : ! (scared) [setsuna...!] setsuna (still asleep) : sa... ra...! (kurai seems surprised and quickly push him away, but setsuna grabbed her hand) kurai : [setsuna is... waking up...!] setsuna : sa...? kurai : [what should I do... if he sees me like this...] setsuna : ra...? (eyes open) kurai (looks like she's in deep trouble) : [setsuna...!!] (the mad hatter at the same time is standing under the big round moon) mad hatter : hahah... anagura's moon is truly beautiful...! it will surely bleed if you cut and piece and take it out. I would really like to show it to my lord. (she has a pretty scary/dark expression... like obviously she's the one plotting some evil ^^;; anyway... meanwhile, kira is sitting in some little corner *how appropriate, the sequence* anyway, and his wound hasn't healed) kira : hm... I wonder what's wrong. it hasn't stopped bleeding at all. (though he doesn't look too worried) setsuna... (up in heaven... raphael has come to metatron's huge palace) sisters : jibrille-sama has awakened is great news but... the truth is that it appears that she can't see... yeah, that could possibly be an aftereffect of her long slumber... and there is something top secret but honestly... jibrille-sama actually claims to be a human and not jibrille. we are all helpless in this matter because we do not know the cause. (raphael entered the room, and jibrille/sara is not there... the sister there seems really worried) ah!! r... raphael-sama!! forgive me, I just looked away for a second and...! raphael : ? (funny face... probably also in a bad mood too) sister : and I don't know where she went!!! I can't believe she escaped with her eyes not able to see...! raphael (left the mansion/palace, outside) : [lost memories? don't remember herself? and escaped? THAT jibrille? that calm, cool, always self controlled, responsible woman? I can't even imagine. that damn sevotharte. just when I was wondering why he called on me, it's the troublesome stuff as I thought.] (a small pebble falls on his head from above) ...? (sweatdrop) someone : YAAAHHHHHHHH raphael (turns around in shock... and sweatdrop) : eh? (crash) WAHHH (*I'm rolling on the floor laughing...* something else fell down following the pebble... only... it's not a pebble... it's sara... and she fell right on top of raphael... and he's basically flat on the ground with her sitting on his back ^^;;;;;;) sara (with a "ouch" look) : a~~~h!! I fell down and it hurts--------------! and what's this? what's this horrible cushion! raphael (flat on the ground under her... *me still laughing*) : ...hey... (his last line is SOOOOOOOOOOO funny in japanese... "ano ne" I can even picture him saying it ^^;; I don't think "hey" gives the full comical feeling... but the closest would be "hey" or "yo" ah... I haven't stopped laughing yet) end of Encounter, part 6 translator's note : ah... I'll be away for quite sometime... so all updates are put off until I come back... in august... ah... 2.5 month no update!!? can't begin to imagine top :: volume 07 :: volume 09 ::
