Might help some confused people) (complex machinary and computers are shown. This is the fatima factory of Dr. Ballancha.) (The number 44..) (A humanoid figure lies on a type of table) Ballancha: Can you here me? Do you know double ipsion Lachesis? When you opened your eyes you became my last, but.... Are you going to curse me like Atropos..... (a figure comes out the the swirls of gases. It is the wrinkled face of Ballancha.. He is talking to his 44th fatima, Lachesis who is on the table..) Ballancha: Also.... Do you still remember that man? If you do, you will have a long and miserable life (this statement was changed. didn't make sense). (the figure on the table has long finger nails) Ballancha: Wait for a moment. You cannot get up right now... I'll now turn off the amniotic fluid. Your body's movement and facial expressions will take time to go back to normal. My daughter..... Forgive me... I made you into this monster.... (the figure on the table rises up and talks? is she telepathic?) Lachesis: No.... This was what I wanted. Ballancha: Only the markings has to be erased on your body. Also, (stuff deleted, couldn't understand) a lot of work to do. Before that man comes.... (the figure gets off the table. A bewitching woman? or a girl? with marks on her body and black or blue hair?.. the marks are some lines, the word Lachesis, and the # 44.... Remember, she is a fatima.. to be exact, she really is not a fatima...) Lachesis: Yes. I understand. Easter, Planet Delta Belune Float Temple (a figure with four people behind it can be seen. The figure is staring at the sky. contrails can be seen... ) (the faces of the four figures.. one is a beautiful female.. all the others are old males..) (just guess who this figure staring into the sky is... very obvious) Figure: Truely... I have decided to go... (the female's face behind the figure...) Figure: Also have something to bring along.... Easter, Planet Addler (a trail of smoke can be seen. is it a space craft?) (a ship of some sort must be having mechanical failure. it is falling rapidly toward the surface of the planet) person inside: What! What! What the..! NO! Wait! NO! This can't be---! AGGGHHHHHH!!!!! BOOOOMMM!! (the ship crashes in the middle of a desert) narrator: It is the Cluster year 2988. This place is the Easter solar system. The second planet, Addler. Western part of Lent self governing area. Addler is a planet that became habitable for humans by a huge planet scale renovation done thousands of years ago. Many financially centered countries are found here. It is different from the neighboring planet, the history laden Delta Belune. It is a planet united two times under a unified self governing area and a small country. It became a republic and it is a planet where industry and business prosper. (a desert, probably high noon) (a person walking slowly by the road) (the person stops and drops a bag) (a feminine face..) person: Hwooooo... (the person scans the desert.) person: Oh...... I am sick and tired of this. This... is only sand.. (the person take off the sandles he was wearing) person: I failed.. I should have rode the reliable 'dig'... (note: 'dig' is a transport of some sort that is used in this age. It uses the EZLAZER system. The EZLAZER engine can be used in a bike, space craft or a motar headd.) (the person is now sitting on the road) person: If it went forward a little bit more... That thing... (the person notices something.) (far down the road, a dori (transport carrier) can be seen) (it stops at where the our person stands waiting.) (a man..) man: Wow... This is amazing! Can it be a goddess at this place? What happened miss? person: Miss?! (the dori is now moving on the road again) man: HA HA HA HA HA!!! This is unspeakable!! Sorry! Sorry! (inside the dori) (our feminine person is now sitting on a seat with a drink) man: So you're.... a male.. Well, don't think bad about it. Anybody would have definitly confused you as a beautiful woman. I first thought you were a mirage. (the man is now closely looking at our very feminine person) man: But..... you're a really handsome person. Looks like you're going to change any minute... A great beauty.. (the feminine person blushes and repeats the statement made by the man..) person: Handsome person... man: Ha ha ha ha ha!! Sorry, sorry, it was a joke.(stuff deleted) (made no sense). Don't worry about it! Oh, what's your name? person: I am Ladioss Sopp... man: Sopp? H~hmmm. I think I heard that name somewhere... Well what about it! I am Voard Viewlard. I'm a headliner. Look, this laser sword. (the man holds in front of him a spaud) man: By the way, where do you want to go? Sopp: I would like to go to Bastogne (a city).... Viewlard: To Bastogne? What for? Sopp: I going to meet a friend. What about it? Viewlard: I am also going to Bastogne... (sopp has a questioning look) Viewlard: So you don't know... Looking at your face... It's the fatimas! The 'unveiling' of the Ballancha's most updates is five days away! Sopp: 'Unveiling'? Viewlard: That's right! It's an event in which fatimas choose their master. What ever they are, they're Dr. Ballancha's fatimas. The previous one was Tisiphone twelve years ago.... The rumor has it they are the doctor's greatest. That is why the headliners and kings are gathering in Bastogne. Sopp: Sir Voard, are you going there to....? Viewlard: No. I'm being sent there for security by the commonwealth. Well this event is worth seeing. The gathering faces' character is different! Juno's king Colus III.. Planet Both's king Corret is also coming. Planet Delta Belune's 'light' emperor, his majesty Amateras is also prearranged to come here. (than Viewlard says it is a really big thing to see their majesties. didn't really make sense) (Viewlard and Sopp look out the window. A ship of some kind can be seen) Viewlard: Look Sopp.... That ship has three 'bents'... (note: bents are types of solar sails that gather light from a nearby star. The bombardment of cosmic rays from the star with the bents propell the ship) Viewlard: It's called 'Dalance'. It probably is Kalamity's king Raider's. (Raider is really not the king of Kalamity.. Viewlard is just praising him) (note: Kalamity, Both, Addler, and Delta Belune are the four most important planets in the cluster.) Viewlard: By now the city will be very noisy. The people who want to flatter the gathering kings and the media is making it conjested. Well, I would like to disobey and just go under/to any king.. Ha Ha Ha Ha! (Sopp smiles at him?) Narrator: Fatima's unveiling. A fatima's function is important; you might say they decide a headliner's life or death. The Cluster Law classify them as a type of robot. They recieve firm emotional control and there are many limitations in their actions and thinking. However, basically they are human like life forms, having red blood in their veins. They are important as the Motar Headds. The history tells. Much blood flowed to get outstanding fatimas. Cluster Year 2390... The fightings to aquire fatimas stopped. The fatimas are allowed to choose their master to their liking in respect to their human rights. They are allowed to serve only the person they choose. In this case like a famous might's (fatima maker) fatimas, knights and including kings come to aquire them. (translator's note: a Motar Headd, or MH for short, is a gigantic mecha. it averages 13-20 meters in height.. It is controlled by a headliner (knight) and a fatima. The fatima's compartment is usually in the head of the MH. The knight's compartment (usually called a 'cockpit') is usually in the chest portion of the MH.

Viewlard: It's okay! I'll be at the lord's castle! Come for a visit! (the dori moves off.. Sopp waves his hands) (night..) (Sopp is now standing in front of a mansion.. ) (he goes to the front door) (he talks to a servent) Sopp: I would like to see Dr. Ballancha. (sopp goes inside.. sits down on a couch.. several attandants awaits..) Man: For a moment..... (short time later..) (Sopp notices something and turns around..) Sopp: Ballancha. Ballancha: You're late Sopp. What happened? You are pretty dirty.. Sopp: An everyday story.. The test failed and I got stuck in the middle of the desert. Ballancha: You haven't changed. Still headstrong... Sopp: Of course. But what is it? Why did you call me? Ballancha: .......... Ballancha: You probably know Uber. Two years ago he became the new lord. Sopp: You mean that merchant man. Haven't heard good news about him.. (the korean version forgot some parts here.. approxi- mately guessed what it was..) Ballancha: Lets go to the factory.. (he means his fatima factory) (a little discussion: Sopp readily knew Ballancha. If he was a friend of Ballancha, he should at least know about the 'unveilling' and more.. Our friend Sopp is concealing his real identity. Read further and you will find out. If you already know who he is, well read anyway..) (Ballancha and Sopp are now inside the fatima factory. Complicated machinary can be seen) Ballancha: You're probably glad.. You last came here ten years ago.. Eiata, Tita and Parateno was born here.. (I suspect the korean version left some stuff out at the end. I added 'born'.) And, two days ago Lachesis and Clotho became 'adults' but Uber took them away while in the middle of 'Aht'. (the korean version does not tell what 'Aht' is. I think they translated the original japanese word to korean.. Not sure what it means...) Sopp: What about Atropos? Ballancha: That child became an adult a year ago. Sopp: Did she escape? Ballancha: Of course. Up to now that man took away fatimas a lot of times.. Lachesis and Clotho will be (or 'are being') played around by him... This time he can't lay a hand on them because of the kings (referring to the kings gathering in Bastogne). Ballancha: However I can't think he will rightly perform the unveiling. Take those two! Until they go under some great headliner.. If they don't pick their masters in this unveiling, following the cluster law they will remain in the lord's castle. Than it's the end. Help them escape before he plays with them.. (this Uber character is known for his liking in women.. so guess what he will do with those fatimas....) (Sopp picks up a picture on a table nearby.. he looks at it..) Sopp: You don't have to worry about that. This time almost all of the famous headliners will come. Ballancha: Sopp... Those two don't recieve mind control.. The same with Atropos... Sopp: What!! Ballancha, that's very dangerous!! Ballancha: Ahhh... That's why they are different from the fatimas. If they are revealed they will be disposed of. They might even call people who are not headliners their masters... Ballancha: Those three children are my greatest masterpieces among my 'daughters'... (he is refering to the fatimas he made) It took eighteen years to raise them... I beg you Sopp..... As a friend.. This will be my last request... Ballancha: My time is not far..... Only a person like you can carry out a request like this. I devoted my body into making fourty-five fatimas... (Sopp puts down the picture.. The picture is of himself and three young, very small children... the children are (in order) Lachesis, Clotho, and Atropos..) (Sopp and Ballancha are outside, Sopp is on a small dig. Ballancha is standing by him) Ballancha: (couldn't translate this part. he basically says to sopp to take the letter of recommendation from previous lord Watlmar to Uber's castle.) Nobody will ignore the name Motar Headd meister Ladioss Sopp if you show them. Sopp: Good heavens (the korean word for that is related to over 5 english words..).... I shouldn't have come here. Hey, I am not an expert in dealing with girls. Ballancha: Don't talk that way. Those two became pretty. I shouldn't say this but through a father's sense, if those kids were placed in front of Juno's Colus III and Delta Belune's Emperor Amateras, they won't immediately call them their master. (Sopp bangs his head on the dig) Sopp: I have nothing to say! (Sopp is on the dig, on the way to Bastogne. Traveling pretty fast on that dig...) (Sopp has a flashback..) Sopp: Lachesis.... Already ten years passed... It was beautiful... (in the flashback, an image of Lachesis...) Lachesis: I, I am going to become Mr. Sopp's wife! Mr. Sopp is going to become my master. (something gargantuan overshadows the ground... mystifying sopp?) Sopp: ? Sopp: Wow!!! (Bell Karell, one of many ships of Amateras floats above the road.. shadowing Sopp on the dig...) Sopp: Impressive!! (A section of the ship.....) (the Mirage cross.... F.E.M.C. standing for First Easter Mirage Corps... Delta Belune.... SO-5-9011.......) Sopp: Is it emperor Amateras's appearance..... (think about what he says....) This definitely will be a big event... Narrator: Bastogne One of many independent cities inside Lent commonwealth and a neutral city where intellectuals, engineers, artists, and historians gather. Cluster meetings and impressions (another name for unveiling) are usually done in such neutral cities. Compared to earth, the weather is similar to the Middle East and also people's clothes style is almost the same. (Sopp is on his dig, looking at the busy activity around him..) Sopp: Wow! This is grand. Since the city is this much, it will be much more in the castle.. (a woman stops by) Woman: Uh... Excuse me... Sopp: ? Woman: Do you have a place to sleep? If it's all right I will help you. Sopp: Thank you. But I have a place to go. I am going to ask for assistance (probably meaning the castle of Uber). Woman: What!! You probably don't know. The lord here likes sex! (sopp is definitely shocked by this.. look at his face and you'll know!) Sopp: He... He.... likes.... Woman: That place is the most dangerous place in the country. Espacially to beautiful women like you.... Sopp: Thank you. But I have to go. woman: Is it so.... (the woman walks away, melting into the crowd) (sopp is now uncertain about the situation.. he is now talking to himself about the mess he has got into...) Sopp: It's like the rumors. If so, Lachesis is also in a disaster. Have I really... come... here? Frankly speaking, I, who is beautiful.... Anyway my body in danger.... Waaaaaaaaaaa~~~~~~~~~~!! I want to run away! Stupid Ballancha... In a place like this.... (a boy stops by Sopp) Sopp: Hmmm? Boy: Beautiful princess, do you have a place to sleep? (this boy has the mark of Colus VI... Nagano is poking fun here...) (in this picture sopp is now dressed as a female princess) Sopp: Thank you.... truthful kid.. (Uber's castle) (inside a very large room, almost like a hall) (two people in the background, with four soldiers standing...) (Uber is sitting on a throne.. He is fat.. A man stands by him, talking) Uber: What? A Motar Headd meister? Man: Yes. Called himself Ladioss Sopp.... Uber: At a busy time like this! Man: Your lord... That person named Ladioss.... I have heard about him. It is said he has high skill and is a great beauty. Uber: What! Hmmmm.... This is... Hmmm.... Should I meet him? Let him in! (Sopp enters.. Uber and the man gasps... sick idiots...) (Uber examines sopp with 'you know what' eyes. seems like he is looking sopp's every body part and enjoying it.. sick man...) Uber: So you're Sopp....... Uber: It is told you are a famous meister.. Why did you come to my castle? Sopp (obveiously lying): Yes. I have some ideas... I think it is a good thing to serve under the supreme leader of the Lent Commenwealth, your majesty Uber... Uber(flattered?): What? Ha, ha, ha, ha!! You know well. (Uber whispers to the man beside him) Uber: That voice is feminine.. It's like a small bird's voice, isn't it Voit? (the man's name is Voit then....) (Uber turns to sopp) Uber: Is that face real? How old are you? Sopp: I am becoming 109 years old. My body and face did not recieve 'regeneration'. (note: 'regeneration' means to rejuvenate the body cells, or rebuild or heal a wounded body part) Uber: Good! I like you. The allowance will be payed twice, no.., thrice the usual amount..... Uber: Go, the room will be shown later. (sopp walks out of the room.. some masked guards men at the exit) Uber: How are those two women/goddesses(?).. Did they talk? Voit: No.. They haven't talk a bit. They are too quiet. Uber: What ever happens we can't touch them until the impression. Beauties like them are scarce. I want to train them and play/cuddle with them. (I told you.. Uber is reallly sick) Voit: But your majesty. That person yesterday from the commonwealth named Viewlard. They sent an idiot, that person. Uber: Humph! In the commonwealth today there are only men like him. Sopp also talked about this. continued next month.... Sorry, don't have a lot of time to do the translation...
