Fureta yubi sameta KIZUNA ni
My fingers touched the cool bond
Kuzure yuku kokoro no sukima
In the crevice of my crumbling heart
Samayou KARADA wow...
My body wanders whoa...
KATACHI naku yami e to kieru
Disappearing into the shapeless darkness
Iro aseta omoi wa tooku
My faded thoughts are distant
Sagasu no wa jinki rao
What I search for is a mirage
"Mirai o tooku ni kazashiteru..."
"I'm holding the future far away overhead..."
Kirameita sekai tooi kiwaku wa
In a world that sparkled, my distant memory
Miageta sora yume o yobi okosu
Is calling my dreams to mind in the sky that I looked up at
Hateshinai yaro ni deau keshiki wa
In the scenery of us meeting on a ceaseless night
Sugita hibi no kotae mo miezu
I can't even see the end of the days that we spent
Konna ni mo tooku hanareteite mo
Even if we're separated so far apart
Terasu hikari KIMI ni tadori tsuku
The illuminating light makes its way to you
Kiseki wa kanau hazu
The miracle should come true
The Innocence Heart?
Yes.
The Cube doesn't say anything about just what this Heart is, or how we might recognise it.
That particular Innocence fragment may already have been recovered and placed in the hands of its host.
The Millennium Earl may think that a particularly powerful exorcist plays host to the Heart.
The Marshall was their first target.
The Noah clansmen who came with the Akuma were no doubt sent to offset his strength.
It's a virtual certainty.
The messages that our exorcists have been receiving are proof.
Yeah, if someone were host to such an amazing Innocence he would likely be a marshall by now.
But even a marshall would not be able to stand against the combined forces of Akuma and Noah clansmen.
In order to protect the remaining marshalls, Cloud, Zokalo, Cross and Tiedoll,
we've decided to assemble all the exorcists we have
and split them into four groups, each of which will guard one marshall.
Allen and Lenalee,
I'd like you both to go to meet Marshall Cross.
[My Master, Marshall Cross]
You all right?
It was quite a shock seeing Marshall Yeegar die, wasn't it?
He was such a nice guy...
He really treated me like a student.
I never thought that a marshall could be so kind.
I always thought that all of them were selfish abrasive, mean and heartless people.
It seems like Marshall Cross really did a number on you.
I feel nauseated and woozy just thinking about it!
A-Are you all right, Allen?
Why me?
Because you're his student.
Think about what my brother said.
As you know, Marshall Cross has been out of contact for four years.
He may be dead,
or perhaps just shirking his duties and wallowing in pleasure.
There are many rumours floating around.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the latter but now we have you, Allen!
He's as good as caught!
So there you have it.
But why did you want to go to Liverpool right off the bat?
I remember there was a woman there that my master used to date.
Date? Like his girlfriend?
Well, more like his sponsor.
Have you ever met my master, Lenalee?
Well, I saw him once, a long time ago, at headquarters.
Well then, I suppose I should tell you what kind of person he is.
Take your time.
When did you first meet Marshall Cross, Allen?
It was three years ago, right after I'd destroyed the Akuma that my father had become.
I'm sorry if I'm bringing up some painful memories.
Not at all, it's really what came after that was painful.
Was Marshall Cross's training really so harsh?
No, it was just...
His spending habits were pretty ridiculous.
I've found you, Cross!
How dare you take my woman's money.
I'm gonna beat you to a pulp you leech!
H-Hey, Master!
Get back here, dammit!
Come on, get him! Kick his ass!
Stop!
You take care of them.
Look at this.
Wh-What's that?
A life insurance policy. Hurry up and sign it.
If your master won't pay up we'll just have to take it outta you!
We're gonna send you to the bottom of the Seine.
Best get your affairs in order.
H-Help!
Hey, stop!
I managed to get away somehow,
but my master just kept racking up debts.
Hey kid, you can take a break.
No, I'll work a little longer.
Well, don't over do it.
And he just wasted all the money I worked so hard to earn.
You work all day, and this is all you get?
This is barely pocket change.
M-Master?
Better get a higher-paying job next time.
Damn it! I'll get him!
I longed everyday to beat him to a pulp
But I was forced to keep working off my master's debts.
I had to go out on a commercial fishing boat in the Mediterranean,
almost died hauling spice through the sands of the Sahara
and then we went to Kenya.
Allen.
I want to see a lion.
Bring me one.
I really thought I was gonna die there.
Thinking that such risky endeavours would only continue to put my life at risk,
I learnt how to gamble.
A royal straight flush.
I started playing cards to learn how to move my mechanical left hand,
but you learn fast when your life's on the line.
I learnt how to cheat effectively, and became almost unbeatable.
Even now I refuse to lose at cards!
If you don't believe me-
I-I believe you!
Allen's got quite the darkside...
But that came back to haunt me.
When my master learnt that I could play,
his spending habits raged even further out of control...
I feel sick to my stomach when I think how long
I had to work to pay off my master's ridiculous debts.
It sounds like you had a tough time.
If only you'd had someone you could talk to..
What's the matter?
Did I bring up another painful memory?
Well, I did have a friend.
It was about then that I finally made a friend I could truly trust.
His name was Nalei.
He was a boy of about my age.
Allen!
What happened to you?
I fell from the roof while cleaning a chimney.
I think I sprained my ankle.
You're such a klutz. Let me have a look.
Ow!
It doesn't look like you broke anything.
Come on, be gentle, Nalei.
Deal with it, whiner.
I met him in India.
When we came to India from Africa,
my master found himself in the palace of the Maharaja of that region.
He was dead, but his widow, Ms. Urmina, survived him.
She was my master's...
Lover?
Th-That was kinda loud...
I'm sorry.
But did he really fall for the Maharaja's widow?
Yeah.
Well, my master seemed to have a thing for rich women.
Nalei worked in the palace.
He was so smart.
He wanted to be a doctor when he grew up
When he wasn't working, he was reading these difficult-looking medical books, studying.
He had a sister named Mina, who was Ms. Urmina's lady-in-waiting.
She wanted to be a dancer,
and worked hard everyday towards her dream of dancing on the stage in London.
Looking at them, I realised that I shouldn't just sit around feeling sorry for myself all the time.
They really cheered you up
Yes, they did.
They were both so optimistic, and believed fervently that their futures were bright.
However...
Neither Mina nor Nalei managed to see their bright futures come to pass.
I had been living in India for about six months.
As always, I staked my earnings at the poker table,
and once again had it all stolen by my master.
How long am I supposed to do this?
You're the one who asked me to become an exorcist,
but you haven't given me any training what so ever!
I see.
You want to be trained.
As I travelled with my master, I had encountered Akuma several times,
but I hadn't fought them even once.
Now's a good time.
You take care of them.
S-So many!
H-Help me!
H-Hel...
Help! Please help me!
I can't fight them!
Not with flesh and blood, no, but you have an anti-Akuma weapon within you.
Why don't you use it?
Anti-Akuma weapon?
That's right...
It's not working! Why?
G-Gross!
I'm dead! They're really gonna kill me!
You're useless!
As punishment, I want you to earn twice as much tomorrow.
And I sank once more into depression.
I went to see Nalei, to cheer up a little.
My sister went to town to buy me a book.
There were monsters there,
and a building collapsed in the panic...
This book can't tell me how to bring her back...
No matter how much medicine I study, I'm just useless!
My sister's gone forever!
Nalei...
I thought I could give this to Mina.
Thank you, Allen.
No..
That's right!
He's an Akuma.
When Mina died and I heard that Nalei had sunk into a deep depression, I became concerned.
It seems the Millennium Earl did indeed show up
The Millennium Earl?
The Earl takes advantage of men's sadness to create the Akuma.
Mina!
A new sadness brings forth a new Akuma.
To stop the cycle,
we have to eliminate every last Akuma from this world.
Do it, Allen. Destroy the Akuma standing before you.
No!
I can't!
Nalei...
I can't kill my friend!
I just...
Nalei is dead.
That thing is nothing more than an Akuma in his form.
It is your enemy.
Stand your ground!
Fight!
You have to stop the cycle of grief, Allen.
Grief...
The soul is crying.
Is that Mina?
Even though I died, you should have kept working towards your dream!
Why could you not look to the future, Nalei?
The Akuma are grieving...
They weep because they have been made into weapons.
In order to ease their burden and alleviate their grief,
I have to destroy the Akuma and set their souls free!
Pitiful Akuma, let your soul be saved!
Rest in peace, Mina.
Thank you, Allen.
Mina... Nalei...
How did it feel?
What was it like, destroying an Akuma for the very first time?
Agonising...
No matter how many I destroy, it won't bring them back!
Harden your heart to the agony...
If you wish to live on as an exorcist.
You did well today.
Very well indeed, for your first time.
That was two years ago
Whenever an Akuma appeared after that, my master would kick me into the fray, and tell me to fight.
Well, that's...
A lot worse than I thought.
Anyway, he's an interesting person, isn't he?
Now you finally know what kind of man he is. He's-
Amazing!
Truly amazing! I didn't really get the parts about Akuma and such,
but all I know is that your master is an amazing person indeed!
He molded you into a great person through his own life experiences!
I'm so impressed!
Mr. Cross is so amazing!
Um, amazing?
What's amazing about him?
Everything!
No, he's not, he's a total loser!
Oh, stop! His harshness was a form of affection.
Not you too, Lenalee!
Why are the women always fooled?
Maybe they like a bad boy.
But he's more an evil boy than just a bad one!
Why do they all fall for him?
I don't get it! I'll never understand women!
Kumo no sukima kobereru
A dazzling light is coming from
mabushii hodo no hikari ni
the opening of the clouds,
yo wa sa misukasaresou de
as if it sees through my weakness.
Fuini te o kazashita
I held my hands up over my head to protect myself.
Urayamu dake de itsumo
When I was envious,
akirameta furi o shita
I always pretended to give up.
Omoi ga abarer u kara
My feelings are too vehement,
mata boku o mayoimasen
so I won't lose my way once again.
Kuyashiku kara tte
Even if I am frustrated,
hito wa daremo minna
it must be the same for everybody.
Sono ashi de susumu shikanai da yo
I have no choice but to advance on my own.
Samayotte nayande sonna jibun mo
Even if I am puzzled and troubled,
te suru mirai wa konna katachi darou
it's how we make progress.
Kowashite shimae jama suru fuan o
I will break down this anxiety that hinders me.
Kudaite shimae nigiri shimeta te de
I will smash it with my hand tightly clenched.
Sono itami kizande
I will carve this pain,
sokka tobikome
and jump over it,
owarinaki yume no tsudzuki e
until I can grasp this endless dream.
