kkjch30Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne by Tanemura Arina translated by Peaches Final Episode: The sparkle of the soul, forever.... Title: Let’s fly into the never ending world, until we meet at the end of the world Maron: (thinking) I always believed that everyone were my enemies. That’s why I couldn’t show my weakness to anyone. “Someone like you would never be able to live on your own.” I was so so scared. Beneath my feet was the bottomless ocean. Everyone’s waiting. Everyone’s waiting for me to fall in. Everyone’s thinking “Hurry up and sink and disappear!” I hate myself, a person who can’t trust anyone. I hate myself, a person who can’t believe in myself. I hate myself, who hurts people around me from fear. You guys too, right? You guys hate me too, right? I’m strong! I’m not going to give up! (Chiaki hugging Maron who is on a hospital bed. Chiaki with tears in his eyes, staring at Maron.) Maron: (thinking) Chiaki, are you crying? Why? Chiaki: (thining) I don’t want Maron to go away. Maron: (thinking) You don’t want me to? I don’t have to disappear? I can stay here? I can really stay here? I... I want to stay here. God: hmmm.... To make the final battle against Maron herself that she couldn’t face... that was clever of your, Satan. Satan: Now, how are you going to fight against someone who already knows all your weaknesses, Maron? (the two Jeannes getting ready to battle. The Maron drops her sword. Chiaki and Finn looking on.) Chiaki: What happened? Maron.... Maron: Ummm, to tell you the truth, I really don’t want to fight! Head Angel: Huh? Finn: What? Chiaki: Maron... Maron: (thinking) I don’t need a sword. I believe in peace. (takes her ribbon off and transforms back into Maron) I always want to be myself. (runs toward the bad Jeanne) We finally gained courage. Here are the words you always wanted. (gives bad Jeanne a *BIG* hug!) (out loud) You can cry now! You’re not alone anymore! (the bad Jeanne starts fading, and with tears and a smile on her face, Jeanne disappears into the air) (Maron grabs the rosary Jeanne left behind and throws it at the painting of Satan) Maron: CHECKMATE! (the manga travels back to the past) Maron’s mom: huh? Hmmm... I thought I heard something. Maybe it was just me. Oh, how cute! It’s a fair! How cute! (bang) What was that? Now what? A headache? (She sees a handsome young man, controlling the ferris wheel and their eyes meet. Of course, the young man being Maron’s dad.) (back to the present) Satan: (deteriorating) UGHHH, AGGGGG!!!! Eve, you will pay for this! You’re coming with me! (An huge storm of fire comes heading toward Maron) Chiaki: Maron! (Finn rushes toward Maron and stands in front of her, blocking Maron from the attack) Maron: FINN!!!! (The attack hits her hard, shrinking her back into her small angel form. She falls to the ground.) Access: FINN!!!!! Maron: Finn, Finn! Stupid! Why did you save me? (Finn in Access’ arms) Finn: I’m sorry, Maron. I wanted to save both you and Satan. I know I won’t be forgiven of what I’ve done to you by this, but you have to understand. It was my decision to do this. Access, I loved you forever. But I couldn’t leave Satan by himself. (looking at the painting of Satan) Sir, are you still there? I can’t see you... Satan: Finn... Finn: Finn will be there for you. I’m going with you, so you’re not alone anymore. Satan: Thank you... (Satan disappears, and Finn also is now dead.) Maron: NO, FINN! OPEN YOUR EYES!!! (Access holding Finn in his arms with tears in his eyes.) Chiaki: Maron... (Chiaki holding Maron as she cries) God: .... There is a way of saving Finn. You can give the power of “reincarnation” you possess. Forunately, Finn was an angel, not a human being. Not only that, she was a true angel with more power than an average angel. With those powers combined, you might not be able to make her alive again, but at least, you will be able to make her reincarnate. But once you give up that power, You will never be able to be reborn again. You can’t be a Kaitou anymore either. Maron: Fine. I’ll give my power to Finn. i want to see Finn again, so it’s ok. Besides, I’m not going to give up! I’ll be reborn using my own powers! I don’t care if I can’t. I want to try! It’s ok if I can’t be Jeanne again. I’m Kusakabe Maron. That’s why I transformed myself back to Maron. My life, my history. I don’t want to give that up to anyone. If the breath of God is called “Kamikaze”, I want to be that wind. The feeling you want to give to all humans, I want to give that in your place. And one day, even if I can’t be Jeanne, I want to capture all the evil inside the hearts of everyone. I believe you, God. I’ll always watch you. Even if we’re apart, I’ll be here, God. God: Thank you, Maron. Access: (with tears in his eyes, still holding Finn) I’m going to go back to heaven and train to be a true angel again! I’m going to be reborn with Finn!!!!!! (lays Finn on the ground, takes one of his earrings off.) This is my important earring. I’m going to let you borrow it, so you better give it back! (puts it in her hand) God: Then, with the reflecting energy, I will send you guys back to earth. Access: See ya later, Chiaki! Chiaki: When we meet next time, I’ll make a mountain of pancakes for you! (pinky promising, in small print : a guy-to-guy promise!) (Finn lights up for a second and disappears) Maron: (thinking) Let’s meet again, Finn! God: Good bye, Maron. I will always be watching over you. (Chiaki pissed off by those words and grabs Maron) Chiaki: She’s going to be fine because I’m going to be with her! Maron: Chiaki! God: Chiaki, your face and your heart are exactly like Adam. Chiaki and Maron: HUH? God: Please protect Maron. (Chiaki and Maron are sent back to earth) Access: Maron, Chiaki, see ya~! (the angels looking at the two as they turn into a sparkle in the sky) Riru: Access? Access: Yes, Madam Riru. Riru: It’s going to be hard training from tomorrow! Access: ...yes, Madam Riru... (back on earth) Maron: Oh, yeah. We just suddenly disappeared during camp, huh? I wonder if Miyako’s panicking... Chiaki: hmmm. I wonder. (small print: He doesn’t really give a care about other people) (peeks toward the camp, a whole search by the police units is going on) Maron and Chiaki: They’re on a whole search... Maron: What do we do, Chiaki? Chiaki: I don’t know... (small print: Maybe we can just run away...) (Miyako finds the two looking and starts storming toward Maron) Miyako: Maron!!!!! Maron: I, I, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! It’s all my fault! (Miyako and Minazuki pushing her to one direction) Miyako: Hurry up, you bad girl! Maron: What? Minazuki: Maron-san, this way! Chiaki: ?? Miyako: Gosh, I was so worried because you suddenly disappeared, but I’m glad to see Chiaki was with you! Minazuki: Gosh, you two! You guys don’t come back at night on the first night you guys start going out! You made your PARENTS worry! (hint, hint) (a silhouette of two people appear in front of Maron) Maron: You’re kidding... Miyako: We’re not kidding, Maron! The two remarried and came back to start all over again! Chiaki: Maron! Minazuki: Maron-san! Maron’s parents: We’re back, Maron! (Maron in tears, running toward them) Maron: Dad! Mom! (a picture of Maron waiting for a phone call) Maron: (thinking) The night will come today too. But I’m not afraid anymore. i don’t have to be scared. (picture of Chiaki, Miyako, and Minazuki looking on as the Kusakabe family are hugging.) And time passed by... 7 years later. Miyako: Shinji~! [Minazuki Miyako: 24 years old, housewife.] Hurry up and eat your breakfast! I can’t do the dishes! Shinji: (hiding behind a corner with pancakes) Hee, hee. [Minazuki Shinji: 4 years old.] (Chiaki steals the pancakes from Shinji) Chiaki: Hey, you! Eat your meal at your house, all right? I’ve been telling you that pancakes are dessert! [Nagoya Chiaki: 24 years old, soon to be doctor---internship] Minazuki: Hey! Nagoya-kun. Are you off from work today? [Minazuki Yamato: 24 years old, young businessman.] Chiaki: Yeah, Maron’s coming home. Minazuki: You didn’t go pick her up? (small print: How interesting!) Chiaki: I called and she left already. Minazuki: I see. Maybe I’ll wait too then. (Shinji hiding behind a wall from his dad) Miyako-san! Shinji’s right here! Miyako: (storming with anger) Shinji~! You were at Chiaki’s, eating pancakes again! I’ll make it for you at home, so don’t disturb other people! Shinji: (looking at Chiaki) But we promised! Chiaki: (small print: You sure remember well...) Miyako: Hey, Maron’s home! Chiaki: Maron?! (author’s note: Isn’t it about time to stop your heart from skipping when you see Maron already?) (Maron comes out from a taxi, carrying a baby) Maron: Chiaki! I’m home! [Nagoya Maron: 24 years old, new wife!] Chiaki: Maro... (Chiaki tries to hug her, but she just passes by, Maron starts talking to Miyako) Maron: Where’s Access... I mean, Shinji? Miyako: He’s right here! (Miyako points to her legs where Shinji is hanging on) Shinji: What’s up, Maron? Does the baby want to see me? Maron: Yeah! Shinji: (small print: What do you mean, “yeah!”?) But I saw her once before... Maron: She’s had her right hand in a fist the whole time and she wouldn’t open it, and I was wondering why... Look, look! See? Shinji: A black earring... Finn? Maron: See? Her name is Natsuki. (Shinji in tears, the same face Access made when he declared to go back into training and be reborn with Finn) Shinji: Yeah! I love you, Natsuki! Marry me! (Chiaki, Minazuki, and Miyako in shock while Maron is smiling at this comment) MIyako: AY! Why are you proposing now? (Chiaki puts his arms on Maron’s shoulders and gives her a kiss on her forehead) Maron: (thinking) You can hear it. The sound of happiness. It’s getting bigger, and bigger, and bigger! If you wish, whenever. If we think we can, anything. (picture of Minazuki and Miyako kissing: Minazuki: I’m going now. Miyako: Bye, honey.) I can hear lots and lots of sounds. ( picture of Noin and Silk in human shape: Noin: When Maron is reborn again, she will be mine! Silk: Noin-sama, I’ll always be here for you.) It keep on going, again and again. (picture of Chiaki’s dad and his nurses with heart-shaped eyes: He never ages. More and more girls like him.) Again and again. (picture of Yashiro and Kagura with their twin babies: Kagura: Please calm down! Yashiro: It’s our second year of marriage!) (in heaven) Head Angel: Next angel. Come forward. Zen: Yes. Head Angel: you are... Zen: Yes? Head Angel: Oh, nothing. You had a very nice name when you were a human. I think I will give you that name. Angel Zen. Zen: Great! (pictures of waves and its sound getting bigger and bigger) Maron: (thinking) I want to be the wind.... A wind like a breath... At times, I want to be the wind that fights against you (picture of girl running a marathon), the wind that dries your tears (picture of girl wiping her tears), or the wind that eases your tiredness (picture of girl lying in the shade of a tree) I want to be a wind like that. And I want to fly. I want to sweep up sadness, and spread happiness. When you’re sad, just cry. I’ll be there. When you’re happy, just call. I’ll be there. But because we’re girls, there are times that you get tired. There are times that you hold back your tears. So in times like that, sweetheart, I’m going to come flying down (picture of Chiaki, holding his arms out) so hold me in your arms gently. (Chiaki and Maron, both with angel wings on their back, hugging with angel feathers surrounding them.) THE END
