Translated provided by Athena
Scene 1
Setting: Schwarz, on the run from Farblos, have docked their ship so they can run out to town for some necessities. But in order to leave the protection offered by the ship's barriers, they must set aside the fashionable...
Schuldig: *knocking on helmet* What's up with this helmet?
Nagi: They'll suppress our telepathic waves by about 92%.
Schuldig: You mean we can't go out without wearing this piece of shit? Fuck that. *tosses helmet aside* I'll leave the shopping to you guys.
Brad: Do as you want. Nagi, we're going.
They begin to walk away.
Schuldig: Hey, Crawford!
Footsteps stop.
Schuldig: How long are we gonna have to hide in this shitty boat?
Brad: Sooner or later, the Colonel will find us. Don't let your guard down.
Footsteps resume, and the door opens & closes behind them.
Schuldig: Che.
~~~ * ~~~
Setting: Later in the day, still onboard the ship. Sally is taking a shower, and she stops the water and steps out of the bathroom, only to be confronted by...
Sally: *gasps* Sch--Schuldig-san. Is there something--
Schuldig: I'm bored. I was looking for a playmate.
Sally: Um...please let me pass.
Schuldig: It's alright, eh? We're both psi's...let's get friendly. *chuckles, and apparently grabs at her*
Sally: Please, stop it!
Schuldig: I can feel the trembling in your heart. Is that part of your psychic powers? You're not getting away! *struggles with her*
Sally: No!
Schuldig: *chuckles* Where's Farfarello? Is he writhing under the electric waves again? It's no fun hanging around with that big baby, isn't that right? *more struggling* Wait! Oi! *cackling* You have a pretty nice body for someone who appears all innocent.
Sally: No! Please, stop!
Schuldig: We're both adults. Why not have our little fun? *laughs as he apparently grabs at her towel to throw it off her*
Sally: Noooo!
Farfarello busts in on the scene, yelling.
Schuldig: Farfarello!
He jumps Schuldig and throws a few punches.
Schuldig: Stop it....Farfarello!
Farfarello grabs him by the neck and starts choking him. Sally gasps as Schuldig tries to get him off. The door opens and footsteps sound as Crawford and Nagi return from their errands.
Brad: What is going on??
Nagi: Farfarello...stop this!
Nagi apparently tries to intervene and gets tossed aside.
Brad: Hey!! Calm down!
Brad also tries to stop the fighting and gets decked instead. Farfarello resumes his choke hold...
Sally: Stop it! Please! You'll kill him!
Farfarello: I'm gonna kill him. He hurt Sally. So I'm gonna kill him!!
Sally: I'm fine! ....see?
Farfarello releases Schuldig, who falls gasping to the floor.
Brad: What happened?
Farfarello: I'll kill anyone who touches my Sally, even you guys!
Sally: Farfarello...
Brad: What is the meaning of this?
Nagi: Don't you see? They love each other.
Brad: Love?
They're interrupted by the sound of a bird fluttering its wings.
Sally: That's the colonel's dove!
Brad: What??
He shoots at it, but it escapes.
Brad: It got away. *annoyed* Get up, Schuldig! They're coming!
Scene 2
Setting: Farblos have discovered Schwarz and are now in pursuit in their own ship. The sound of flapping wings indicate that Nina has returned to her master...
Amlisch: Good, good, Nina. Good girl. *dove coos. Amlisch speaks over the loudspeaker:* Gentlemen of Schwarz! Cease your futile resistance, throw aside your weapons and come out onto the deck at once!
Schuldig: Che. That Colonel. He's practically acting like the damn police.
Nagi: What are we gonna do?
Brad: I still think it's wise to just hand Sally over. Hm? *notices Farfarello* But it seems that won't be the case.
Farfarello busts out with guns blazing, yelling as he shoots back at their pursuers. Bullets ricochet as the members of Farblos come under attack.
Silvia: They're getting away!
Sergei: Heh! They won't get very far in that shitty boat!
Sergei begins his own assault with his automatic weapon.
Nagi: Boosters...on!
Nagi activates the ship's booster engine, propelling them forward with more speed.
Amlisch: Rocket engines? The shoddy exterior was a camouflage. That's a spy ship designed by the French navy!
Sergei: Damn it!!
Shell casings rain down on the ground as Sergei continues his assault.
Sergei: Take this!!
He throws some type of explosive that detonates near the Schwarz ship, as Sally and the others take cover.
Amlisch: Stop that, Sergei! If you kill the malefici, this will all be for nothing! Silvia! Can't you jump over onto their ship?
Silvia: We have to get closer!!
Beeping sounds over in the Schwarz ship...
Nagi: The rocket fuel is running out!
Schuldig: Nagi! The anti-warship missiles!
Brad: Wait. Don't you know how much one of those things cost? The older torpedoes will work just as well. *launches torpedoes*
Amlisch: Sergei! Incoming torpedoes! Activate your psycho-barrier!
Sergei's barrier deflects the explosion of the torpedo.
Brad: They deflected it using the psycho-barrier. It seems torpedoes are too slow. They have time to activate the barrier.
Schuldig: It's because you're a damn cheapskate! Just launch those missiles!
Nagi: But if we initiate the missile launching system, aren't they just going to activate their shield?
Brad: Exactly. But while their barriers are up, they can't attack. Colonel Amlisch's vision will not work, either.
Nagi: What do you mean?
They initiate the missile launcher.
Amlisch: Whoa! That's the anti-warship missile, Harpoon! They're certainly well equipped.
Sergei: Hah! I'll just deflect those crappy missiles with my barrier! *activates barrier, and the missiles are successfully deflected.* How's that? *laughing* Your missiles aren't worth shit!
Silvia: Look! They're slowing down.
Amlisch: Alright. Prepare to board the ship. *they approach the ship* This is odd...I don't sense their presence on the ship. Hey! They're on the bank! They're taking cover by the roadside!
Silvia: Taking cover? What do you mean?
Sergei: Uh...I think we're in trouble.
Big explosion.
Scene 3
Setting: Onboard a truck, somewhere off the coast of the Rhine. Having eluded capture from Farblos after a bullet-ridden boat chase, Schwarz are on the run again, and are discussing their options...
Schuldig: Are the shields gonna hold out on this truck?
Nagi: Probably. But...we can't just be on the run like this for the rest of our lives, right?
Schuldig: Farfarello might be ok with that. But to put it bluntly, we're just the victims here. How about we part ways with the two of you right now?
Brad: But even if we did so, Colonel Amlisch won't forgive us in any case.
Schuldig: Then what the hell are we supposed to do?
Nagi: We have to fight! We're part of a team. Farfarello really loves Sally!
Farfarello: Nagi...
Sally: Nagi-san...
Schuldig: Hah! That's lovely. It's so touching it makes me laugh.
Brad: I am in agreement with Nagi.
Schuldig: What?? Hey, hey...don't tell me you're gonna start saying we have to fight for love, too.
Brad: Heh. "Fight for love"? It would be nice to be able to spiel such a thing for once. But unfortunately, that's not the case. Love is merely a fool's illusion.
Schuldig: Then why?
Brad: Sooner or later, we will have to make our stand against them. It will be more of a hassle to take them down if they have had the chance to replace Rudolph. So we strike now.
Setting: Somewhere on the streets of Rotterdam. Bells ring in the background.
Sergei: Shit!! We still haven't found fucking Schwarz and fucking Sally!
Amlisch: There is no doubt they headed north from the banks of the Rhine. They have to be somewhere in Rotterdam.
Silvia: *running up* Colonel! Look at this! *she spreads a newspaper on the table*
Amlisch: A newspaper? Sorry, but could you read it for me? Nina is out on surveillance right now.
Silvia: That's right. It says here, in the personals: "To Colonel: We will hand over the malefici for 5 million euro.
Location: Europort. Vaart warehouse #4."
Amlisch: If we can take care of this with 5 million euro, then that's relatively cheap.
Sergei: But this has to be a trap!
Amlisch: The malefici will be there. We have no reason to fear their traps.
Setting: Europort. The sound of the shutters opening inside a warehouse.
Silvia: *whispering* Colonel.
Amlisch: Hm. There is only one person inside. There is no mistake. It's the malefici.
Sergei: What about the shitheads?
Amlisch: They're not in the warehouse.
They walk inside.
Sergei: This is a pretty empty warehouse.
Silvia: Someone's standing over there. It looks like a mannequin.
Amlisch: Do not be deceived by the physical eye. I can sense the malefici's life force.
Silvia: Colonel...look. *she jabs at the mannequin* It's a mannequin, afterall.
Amlisch: Impossible! That malefici...she must have transferred her life signs into the mannequin. To think she can use leave a psychic imprint as strongly as this!
Meanwhile, something has been seeping in to the warehouse..
Sergei: *chokes* Agh! Poisonous gas!
Silvia: The psycho barrier! Hurry!
Amlisch: No! The gas will be trapped inside the barrier, too!
Silvia: But--!
Shooting sounds and explosions can be heard as the Farblos team scream in agony.
Sergei: Damn it!!
The fiery explosion consumes them.
Scene 4
Setting: Europort. Schwarz have lured the members of Farblos into a warehouse, trapping them inside with poisonous gas and then detonating explosives. As the air clears, they come inside to check the damage...
Nagi: We did it.
Sally: Did those people...get killed?
Schuldig: Surely this time, they had no chance for escape.
Brad: Check for the bodies before celebrating.
The sound of a bird fluttering in the air can be heard...
Amlisch: Good, good...Nina. You're a good girl. *dove coos*
Schuldig: Colonel Amlisch!
Silvia: *chuckles* What's the matter, Schuldig? Your idiotic face looks even more idiotic than usual.
Sergei: *laughs*
Nagi: How...?
Amlisch: Simple. We were never inside the warehouse. Behold! *he shows them a vision*
Nagi: Doubles?
Amlisch: An exhibited reality. You guys killed the illusions that I created. That is why I warned you: "Do not be deceived by the physical eye."
Brad: I see.
Sally: Colonel Amlisch! I will...return to the research facility. So please...don't lay a hand on Farfarello or Crawford-san and his team!
Farfarello: Sally!
Sally: It's ok, Farfarello. Even if it was only for a short moment, we were able to love one another. That is enough.
Silvia: Oh, dear. *chuckles* So you've finally become a woman. And with a monster like that, of all people!
Amlisch: Crawford-kun. Unfortunately, you guys are too dangerous. If we let you live, I have a feeling I will regret it later.
Brad: Probably. However, Colonel...it is more likely that you will regret it right now.
There are more explosions and guns firing as Schwarz resume their assault...
Farfarello: DIE!!!
Sergei: Damn you!! This isn't funny anymore! You keep bringing out little tricks!
Farblos and Schwarz engage, as lots of shooting and fighting ensues.
Brad: It is always prudent to have second and third backup plans. Such things are a given.
Amlisch: Crawford-kun! With brains like that, how can you choose to defy us, still? Do you not think it foolish??
Nagi: It isn't foolish! Fighting for your teammates is only natural!
Schuldig: I just wanna say...I was against all this.
More shooting.
With a yell, Silvia leaps into the foray, and commences to beat the crap out of Schuldig. She cackles as she says...
Silvia: Schuldig. I had thought that maybe you could give me a little more than that, but you suck, just like him!!
Schuldig: Shut up!!
More fighting and beating. It sounds like Schuldig is getting the worst of it.
Silvia: You're an idiot, trying to fight against us with skills like that!
She yells again and apparently kicks him, sending him crashing into some rubble.
Nagi: Schuldig! Get it together! Schuldig!
Sergei: *laughs* So one of 'em has already bit the dust!
Nagi sends an energy pulse at Sergei.
Sergei: An energy pulse? *activates his shield*
Nagi: I'll break through your psycho barrier! *concentrates his powers*
Sergei: Hah! The rugrat's energy pulse is just barely ticklish. I'll send it right back at you! *deflects and sends back the pulse at Nagi*
Nagi: Aaaah!
Brad: Nagi!! *is shot* Aaah!
Amlisch: Crawford-kun...even if my eyes do not see, I know your next moves like the palm of my hand.
He shoots twice more at Crawford, and he goes down.
Amlisch: A pity, he would've been a great asset.
Sally: Farfarello! Everyone...everyone's been killed!
Farfarello: Even on my own...I alone will protect you!
He starts shooting his automatic weapon. But the deafening sound of church bells begin ringing in his head...
Farfarello: What is this..? Church bells? Aaah!! *he collapses to the ground*
Sally: It's an illusion! It's an illusion caused by Colonel Amlisch!
Farfarello: Arrrrgh!! *struggles* Stop it... my ears...my head...it's gonna explode!
Sally: Farfarello! Please! Get yourself together!
Silvia: *chuckles as she draws a sword* This blade was apparently forged from silver melted down from a cross. It was used to slay vampires and werewolves. If I pierce this through his heart, even an immortal monster will meet his end!
Sally: Farfarello!!
With a scream, Silvia stabs him in the chest. The bells suddenly stop.
Sally: NOOooooo!!
Farfarello gasps and falls.
Sally: Far...Farfarello! No...no, it can't be. You can't die. Not you...not you too!
Amlisch: There is no one in this world who is heartless. The only truth that remains for eternity is the fact that everyone dies eventually. Sergei. The other three are still breathing. Shoot them all in the head.
Sergei: Hehehe...I love that kind of work.
Amlisch: Malefici. We're going home. You might as well have killed Rudolph and Farfarello. You are a woman who cannot descend down to the outside world.
Sally: I....I.... *cries*
Silvia: Hey, hey....no matter how much you cry, he's not gonna come back to life!
But Farfarello is still breathing...
Farfarello: I...can't die...yet!
Silvia: Impossible!
He pulls the sword from his chest, as blood gushes out of him.
Sergei: He pulled it out! But it stabbed him in the heart!
Farfarello: Heheheh....don't think you can kill me...with this thing. I can't die. For the first time in my life, I wanna live...I don't wanna die. To protect Sally. I am the only one who can protect her!
Nagi: Farfarello...
Brad: Is it...love's miracle?
Schuldig: Che! *weakly* Don't make me laugh...
Farfarello: Hehehe...
Amlisch: Impossible!
Farfarello: Silvia...I'm returning this sword to you!
He hurls it at her, stabbing her. She cries and goes down.
Amlisch: Silvia!!
Farfarello begins shooting at them again, but Sergei activates his barrier.
Farfarello: Who cares about your...stinkin' barrier!
He charges at it, trying to penetrate it with his body.
Sergei: What!!? *Farfarello gets through* How could you...break through with just your...body... aarrgh!
Nagi: Farfarello absorbs electric volts through his body everyday! That's not gonna stop him.
Farfarello strangles Sergei.
Schuldig: That's good, Farfarello! Tear his damn head off!
Sergei: *struggles* Do it...if you think...you can!
He actually does, and Sergei goes down. Lovely.
Schuldig: Damn...he actually did it.
A dove coos overhead.
Nagi: That's...? That's right, the dove is the Colonel's eyes! Ok...
He uses his powers to bring the bird down to them.
Nagi: Alright! I caught it!
Schuldig: Good job, Nagi. Give it to me!
Amlisch: No! What are you doing? Let go of Nina!
Schuldig: I think I'll imitate Farfarello.
Amlisch: Nina! Nina!
Schuldig tears the bird's head off.
Amlisch: How could you! What kind of man are you? How could you...how could you kill Nina??
Crawford shoots him, twice.
Brad: Everyone dies eventually. That was "truth," was it not? *shoots him again*
Amlisch: You...! How can it be? I had most certainly...struck you with four bullets...
Brad: It is simply, really. Instead of regular under garments, we are wearing special bullet resistant suits.
Amlisch: *chuckles bitterly* Is that so...so that was it. Come to think...you did say... you had prepared two and three fold...
Brad: Of course, it wasn't so easy. Even if we are wearing bullet resistant suits, it will be no good if we got shot in the head. That is why I was reading your moves, to prevent such a thing from happening.
Amlisch: I see. [*] The three of us trusted too much in our powers...and thus led to our own...demise...
Brad: Well then, Colonel...excuse me. *shoots him dead*
Silvia: *struggling to breathe* Congratu...lations. You've won.
Brad: You're still alive? *cocks his gun*
Silvia: Wait! I'll help you! I'll become...part of your team. Come on...Crawford...didn't we love each other once?
Brad: Love? Silvia, that was not love. That was merely excretion. *shoots her dead too*
Schuldig: *sighs*
Brad: What?
Schuldig: Nah...I just thought, what a waste.
Sally: Farfarello! Are you ok?
Farfarello: Don't...worry. The wound is in my left chest. My heart...in on the right.
Sirens sound as the police approach.
Schuldig: So the Dutch police are finally making their appearance.
Nagi: The military is with them, too.
Brad: Farfarello, Sally. We've arranged a boat, over there.
Nagi: Leave the rest to us.
Farfarello: Crawford...Nagi...
Schuldig: You guys are gonna drag us down. So hurry up and go your merry way.
Farfarello: Schuldig...
Sally: Everyone...thank you!
Nagi: Sally-san...take care of Farfarello, ok?
Farfarello: I...I don't know how to say this, but... th....thank you.
They take their leave, escaping on the boat.
Schuldig: Nagi...is something wrong with my ears? What did he just say?
Nagi: He said, "thank you." That Farfarello. It really is love's miracle.
Brad: Hmph. Love...only fools believe in love, and only fools can live for love. If I can be a fool for once, maybe it wouldn't be such a bad thing.
[*]: Not sure what he says here; will correct it once I get confirmation on meaning. ^__^;;
