Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e05 Episode Script

Militia

Hurry up, hurry up, we're late!
That's because you were
taking a nap, remember?
Oh, Rosette
I'm sorry, Azmaria! We're in a hurry,
so we'll talk later, okay?
Militia
Sorry for being late. I've brought Chrono.
This is the first time a devil
has entered this room.
I wouldn't have called you here
for any other reason.
Was there any direct connection between
Lerajie's recent actions
and Aion?
No, this was Lerajie's scheme, and his alone.
All he was planning to do was to absorb the
Astral Line in order to revive his own power.
Is that so?
Rosette, you've had to recall
a horrible memory, haven't you?
I've never forgotten it!
Aion is the devil that took Joshua away!
I could never forget such a thing!
Thanks to what happened with Azmaria,
the role of the Apostles has been made clear.
If they are able to summon the Astral Line,
then we can understand why Aion,
who wishes to acquire the power of God,
would take Joshua away.
Minister, do you know what Aion's goals are?
Likely a war against Heaven.
He is being driven, not by Satan's plans, but
by his own desire to reconstruct the universe.
That is what we have concluded.
For Aion, both Joshua and Azmaria
are absolutely necessary
for his preparations for this ridiculous war.
Before we were called Sinners,
Aion often used to say this,
that the only thing those marked as imperfect
should strive for is to become perfect.
That he would paint another conclusion
to the Apocalypse.
Another conclusion?!
Upsetting the destinies of Joshua
and everyone else
Doing whatever he wants!
The reason I came here was to look for Joshua!
I've already gained enough strength
to at least fight them!
Rosette
Please! Please assign the mission
of finding the Apostles to me!
Rosette
Please! Please assign the mission
of finding the Apostles to me!
I told you, that's still under inquiry!
What can you do on your own?
Joshua is my younger brother!
That's it! Right now, you are
being too emotional!
If you get carried away by your emotions,
some day you'll lose sight
even of what you can see!
We are an organization!
You mustn't forget the rules of the group!
We have asked Minister Remington to
investigate the Apostles, beginning with Joshua.
You will be on common duty for a while.
Cool your head off a little!
Jeez, she is SO hard-headed!
What was with that?
She doesn't understand anything!
Wait up, Rosette!
What are you doing? Hurry up!
Hey, Rosette?
Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake.
What was it?
You and Chrono are always busy.
That's because the devils are
always causing trouble.
How's the choir?
Oh, it's so much fun!
This time, I have a solo part!
Thank goodness that you've cheered up.
You've got a good smile now.
Yes! It's thanks to both of you!
I've changed a lot since I came here myself.
I've learned a lot of different things.
For me, this place is kind of like a school.
But there's nothing left for me
to learn here anymore!
I'm going to leave!
What?!
Didn't Sister Kate say that I would stop
being able to see even what I can see?
If I stay here, I'll stop being able to see!
I don't think that's what she meant.
It's no use trying to stop me!
I'm going to go find Joshua!
Are you all right, Rosette?
Chrono, we're going!
Right now?
Of course! It's good to hurry when
there's something worth doing!
I'm going to get out of here as fast as I can.
I really do think this is a bad idea, Rosette!
It's fine! I've decided, so it's decided!
What did you decide?
Minister Remington!
I thought you might come here.
I'm sorry, Minister, but I
I've got to look for Joshua, no matter what!
Have you ever considered
applying to the Militia?
The Militia the First Class?!
That's right. There are several privileges
granted to this Class.
One of them is the right to pursue
independent investigations.
Some among them have been investigating
a single case for a great deal of time.
It's perfect for you right now.
But how?
The main thing is to convince Sister Kate,
with your own abilities.
I see, with my own abilities!
What? Do you have a problem with that?
No, none at all.
Here you are. I put in a lot of milk and sugar.
Thank you.
It's delicious.
Isn't it?
It's made from high quality leaves
that I received as a special gift.
Now then, what do you wish to discuss?
You won't laugh at me?
It's all right, listening to the problems
of other people is also our work.
I want to be like Rosette!
I want to become a distinguished exorcist
like her, and help people in trouble!
Is that strange?
For me, to allow someone to
emulate that is a little
I hated this power. I even hated myself.
I always made the people around me unhappy.
But
Rosette never gave up.
I never want to give up again!
I want to do something for somebody!
Azmaria
The room's temperature is being regulated by
the spiritual power maintenance equipment,
so it might be a little cold.
Rosette did her training here too.
This is
This is an energy formation field
that Elder invented,
using mock spirit form containment units.
To put it simply, this is an exorcist training area.
The targets are artificial poltergeists,
so to speak.
It is possible to simulate indoor conditions,
outdoor conditions,
and battles with monsters in any situation.
Monsters?
Relax, this place is used
to focus spiritual energy.
We wouldn't throw all that at a beginner.
Well, then, please go downstairs and wait.
I will give you further directions
from the control room.
Yes, Ma'am.
Doesn't it bring back memories
of when we came here?
Are you finished preparing?
Yes.
In addition, Chrono will stay here.
What?
No "what" about it.
If you went with her, then
it wouldn't be much of a test.
Now, Rosette, please hand over that watch too.
Say, where's Sister Kate?
I'll call her after we've started.
Retroactive approval?
If we can get results, then afterwards,
I'll find some way to explain it to her.
Rosette, are you ready?
Yes, please begin at any time.
Level twenty, the one used for
the highest class people.
Roger.
Beginning formation of the spiritual energy field.
Release the targets.
Beginning recording.
The qualifying goal is the extermination
of all targets within one hour.
Well then, I wish you good luck.
Roger.
A powerful evil intent?!
Oh, that.
Actually, I released a monster down there.
One of the powerful evil spirits that we
had sealed away in the storage area.
No way!
Well, she has to see what she's set out
to do all the way through.
If she can't clear this without any problem,
she won't be able to convince Sister Kate.
What did you say just now?
Hi!
Exactly what is going on?!
Sister Kate? Where are you?
Too slow! How many times do I have
to tell you before you understand?!
It's natural to be scared.
Your opponents are monsters.
But the important thing comes after that.
Taking one step forward despite
knowing that it's frightening.
Rosette, can you hear me?
Yes!
There's been an accident.
I'm sorry, but the test has to be stopped.
What?! Why's that? Please tell me the reason!
Azmaria is down there, and we can't contact her.
Azmaria?!
And furthermore, unfortunately,
there's a devil down there too.
What?! Why?!
Well, sorry.
I released it in order to test your strength,
but I never thought there would be
someone here before you.
What are you saying?!
You were the ones using this place
without permission to begin with!
Sister Kate?!
Rosette! Leave everything else
to us and come back.
You understand, right?
But Azmaria!
It's all right. We'll rescue her immediately,
so rest easy.
You understand, right, Rosette?
Minister Remington
Please.
Let me go rescue Azmaria!
What are you saying?!
Rosette, we're dealing with a mind eater here.
It possesses people, reads their memories,
and impersonates them.
This one caused over fifty indiscriminate
murders during the Civil War.
This is not an opponent that you can handle!
Leave this to the Militia!
But
Rosette? Rosette!
What's wrong, Rosette? Answer me!
Minister? Minister Remington?!
Don't scare me like that, Azmaria.
Rosette!
This body possesses wonderful power.
Azmaria! Get a hold of yourself!
Azmaria! Azmaria!
I'm going!
Wait!
Minister Remington
Are you going to just stand by and
watch the two of them get killed?!
This is the moment of truth for Rosette.
At a time like this
What are you saying?!
That thing consumes people's hearts!
If you save her this time,
it will all have been for nothing.
Under the current conditions,
there is only one way for her to cope.
Do you mean diving into her soul,
and directly exorcising it?
This has become a harsh trial for Rosette.
After all, not everything can be solved
by pulling a trigger.
If the worst should happen, I'm going!
All I can do is pray that Azmaria's affect on
causality does not influence Rosette as well.
Causality
To be honest, I'm not very good at diving.
Here I go!
Azmaria! Look over here, Azmaria!
At this rate, your soul is going to get taken over!
It's no use!
Mind eater!
That child will never move.
Whose graves do you think those are?
Her father's and her mother's,
the members of the orchestra
that took care of her.
Her power called forth the death of all of them.
God has entrusted her with power,
yet her heart is full of fear.
Azmaria
Those entrusted with the power of God are
always burdened with a great causality.
Just like our Lord was.
They are considered eerie by
those who are ignorant.
When they finally find peace, it is taken away.
I can hear her.
"If only I didn't have this power"
Joshua
Loneliness, anxiety, fear, and more
than anything else, power!
Quite a comfortable place, this is.
Shut up, you! I have business
with the Azmaria over there!
What is this?!
Azmaria, can you hear me?!
Even I have a lot of things that scare me!
But if you worry about them by yourself,
nothing will get solved!
You're the one that needs to shut up!
Listen to me, Azmaria!
Don't be afraid of your power!
You have to fight! You're not alone!
I'm here! And Chrono is too!
We're by your side, so
Shut up!
The important thing is knowing fear,
but taking a step forwards anyways!
Rosette!
No! Don't take Rosette away!
Rosette! Rosette!
Chrono
Man, I can't believe that you actually
fought with causality.
Chrono, where's Azmaria?
Azmaria
Thank you, Rosette.
Just then, I think I saw it.
Yeah, I saw it too.
Chrono, you're completely different
from what my image of a devil was.
Yeah, I get told that a lot.
Even though you're a devil, you always
do what Rosette tells you to,
you get caught up in different kinds of situations,
and burden yourself with unnecessary troubles.
You don't seem like a devil at all.
Yeah, I get told that a lot.
I love you being that way, Chrono!
