Chrono Crusade (2003) s01e10 Episode Script

Horn
Aion
It's been a long time, Chrono.
How many decades has it been?
A voice? Chrono, is that bird talking?
It's not a bird.
That's Aion. He's a devil too.
You talk like we're strangers.
We're friends.
Are we not both Sinners?
I won't go along with you any longer.
Even if I said that I'd give you back your horns?
You know, I'd like to proceed
to the next step soon.
There's no way that you've
forgotten our dream, right?
Young Miss, it was good of you
to awaken Chrono.
As a reward, I'll tell you.
For us devils, a horn is the source of our power,
an organ that absorbs the Astral.
Although, I'm the one that broke his off.
Thanks to that, he has become an outcast
who can't use his power for very long.
Come with me, Chrono.
If you come with me, I'll give back your horns.
Forget about the past, and let's have fun again.
The glorious you that killed over one hundred
million of our own kind in Pandemonium
I want to see him one more time.
No.
I've found a little something,
something that I wasn't able to see
from the skies.
If I follow you,
then everything that I am right now
will be for nothing!
So what should I do with those horns, then?
You can have them.
I thought you'd say that.
Actually, I've already given them
to someone else.
Young Miss, your younger brother is wonderful.
Don't you think it's unfair?
Over here.
Thanks to you,
there are people who have been healed of their
illnesses, and now run around, healthy.
Yet you live your life in fear of your next fit,
which might come at any time.
Don't you want power?
If so, accept these.
They're the horns of a devil that killed
one hundred million of his own kind.
What did you do to Joshua?!
Aion! You couldn't have!
Your friend is interesting,
in possession of a very strong fact.
He looks like he will become
a great addition to our forces.
Answer me! What did you do to Joshua?!
Find out for yourself.
Wait!
Let's hurry!
They really are an interesting brother and sister.
Just what are you plotting?
What is this?!
This is my original form.
The form I've taken up until now suppresses
my consumption of Astral.
We're going to go quickly. Joshua is in danger!
Joshua! Is something the matter?
Joshua!
Open up, Joshua!
Joshua, what's wrong? Answer us!
Joshua!
I was always just looking up at the sky,
because when I faced downwards,
that place was just so bright.
That's why I faced upwards.
You'll get better soon.
Everyone's nice.
But I know that always being
kind to me was tiring.
That was tough on me.
Will I be able to become strong?
You'll be leaving in one week.
Until then, it would be best to
take it easy and recuperate.
If I go, will I be able to become strong?
I can't say that for sure. It will take time.
You need a long period of special training.
Will I be able to become strong?
Don't you want power?
You are one of the Chosen.
Hey, Joshua, what's happening?
Come on, answer me.
He's disgusting.
What are those horns?
What kind of sickness is this?
Billy!
That's mean, Billy.
I don't have fits like these because
I like them, but still
Even still Even still
Why are you looking at me like that, Billy?
What is he?!
He's a monster! He's a monster!
I'm going to be killed! Save me! Someone!
Stop it! Stop the noise!
Please stop it! Please stop it!
The noise has gone away.
I see!
All I have to do is stop it.
It's that simple.
Joshua!
Wait, Rosette!
Just from using that little bit of power
Seira! Nelly!
Rosette! Where have you been?
Where's Joshua?! What's happened?
Well, Joshua has Joshua has
What's happened to Joshua?
Don't go!
Everyone
What's wrong?
Why are you all stiff?
Hey, Seira!
What is this? What's going on?!
Answer me!
Joshua
Hey, Rosette.
Joshua, what's going on? No one's moving.
They've all stopped moving!
It's all right, Rosette. I stopped them.
The noise coming from everyone was horrible.
That's why I had them stop.
Once I did, I finally felt refreshed.
But you know, my body feels really great.
It felt like power was rushing into me
when I stopped everyone.
I think I've gotten incredibly strong.
What are you saying?
What are you saying, Joshua?
I think I've gotten incredibly strong.
What are you saying?
What are you saying, Joshua?
Rosette, it's all right now.
You don't have to become a doctor or anything.
Stop it. This is strange.
This This isn't like you, Joshua!
What did I just say?
Joshua
Stop it!
Please stop it! Please stop this noise!
Joshua!
Run, Rosette!
I I'll end up stopping you too!
Joshua
Joshua!
Chrono!
Chrono, what's happening to everything?
The people and the grass and the trees
They're all getting stiff.
Time is being frozen. It's a kind of barrier.
If he continues to run wild like this,
even Joshua won't be safe!
No! Let me go!
I'm going to where Joshua is!
You can't!
Then stop him! Those are your horns, right?!
Can't you do something about this?!
This is the price for earlier.
Because I don't have enough Astral,
I can't even heal myself.
For a devil, running out of Astral means death.
Hey, what should we do?
What should we do?!
Without my horns or a contractor,
right now, I have no power.
A contractor?
Hey, if you had one, could you save Joshua?
Well
Tell me!
Come on, please, tell me!
A contract is normally conducted
through a spell cast on a devil
that answers the summons
of a devil summoner.
By directly receiving a certain something
from the human,
they can temporarily use their abilities without
using their horn as a medium for their power.
That cost is paid with your time alive,
in other words, the life span of your soul.
Let's think of another method.
We can still make it.
But
You'd suffer pain for your entire life!
And that life would only be a fraction
of its normal length!
Would you really be all right
with a life like that?!
I said it before.
That I was going to protect Joshua.
I thought I knew everything about him, but
It looks like I was actually wrong.
You don't have to become a doctor.
He didn't like getting sympathy, did he?
I don't want it to end like this.
That's why I have to tell him.
Tell him, "We're going to
become explorers, right?"
That, "We're going to go to places
no one else has ever been to."
And, "You're going to write those
records in a book!"
This is for Joshua's sake, Chrono!
I want to save him, no matter what!
That's why.
That's why
Please our dreams
You come with us too.
Let's go together, the three of us.
I understand.
I will make a contract with you,
Rosette Christopher.
This is the symbol of our contract,
a watch that ticks off your time alive.
My time is still moving.
What would have become of us after that,
if Minister Remington hadn't shown up?
In the end, we wouldn't have even been able
to go looking for Joshua,
and my lifespan may have already been used up.
Even still, the time we have left is short.
Even to this day, there are times when
I wonder if this really was for the best.
This WAS for the best!
Rosette
Being indecisive won't change anything.
If it'll bring back Joshua,
and everyone's time, then I
You can't!
Please care more about yourself, Rosette!
Don't try too hard. We're here too!
How is he?
He is calm today.
I see.
Here are the coffee beans you asked for.
Don't ask me to go shopping
for you when I go out.
Thank you very much.
Thanks to you, I was able to stay by
Lord Joshua's side this whole time.
Joshua
Hey, Aion.
We found another Apostle in Texas.
Genai is heading there to secure it.
How many are left?
One more.
The Apostle of Charity that
your older sister has with her.
Well, we'll take our time doing this.
If you're talking about my big sister,
she's right here.
If anything happens, let me know right away.
Yes, Sir.
Are you going already?
The humans won't let me rest, you know.
I'll see you later.
Right.
Big sister
Yes?
Hey, when do you want to go?
We made a promise to go see
the Astral Line, didn't we?
I'll say this plainly.
Around the world, in all of the places
where the word of God is recited,
what this person has done
will also be spoken of as faith.
Right, Mary of Magdalene?
Rosette, there's a request for us to mobilize.
React swiftly, and keep the
damage to a minimum.
You understand, right?
As always, the Magdalene Order can't do
anything except for amateurish actions!
There she is! The arrogant jewel woman!
Sorry, but this time there's no scene for you!
Rosette, the dignity of our Order is on the line.
Failure will not be tolerated.
