Sinbad: UNCOOL.

Sinbad: % I failed.
% I was worrying about Maron and lost my chance...

<ring>
<ring>
<ring>

Himuro: Hm?
Miyako-chan? What's wrong?

Miyako: Father, what do I do!
Maron...
It looks like Maron fell from the veranda of her apartment!!

Sinbad: !

<toss>

Himuro: Oh, Sin-chan escaped.

Yamato: NOOOOO!!

Sinbad: % Maron!
% Maron!


pg 3

Sinbad: Dad! Send an ambulance to my apartment house, it's an
emergency!!

Sinbad: % Maron!
% Maron!
% Please be okay!!

Maron: % Golden hair...that strong gaze...
% You are...

Maron: J...


pg 4

Maron: JEANNE D'ARC~~~~~~~~~~~?!!

Jeanne: ...

Maron: W...wait a sec! Why?!
Are you the real one?!

Noin: ...so it seems.

Maron: !

Maron: % Noin...!!

Noin: Jeanne...


pg 5

Jeanne: Noin! I told you not to come...

Noin: I had to see you.
In this form...

<eeeek>

Maron: % Wait a sec!
% Why is Noin here!!
% ...why am I here!!
% Just WHAT'S going on~~~~?!

<footsteps>

Guard: Here it is! There was a voice from by Jeanne!!

Noin: Damn! The jailer found us...

Jeanne: Run away for now!

Maron: Huh? "Jailer"...Jeanne, you were caught?!


pg 6

Jeanne: ...yeah.
Tomorrow is my death penalty.

<HEARTBEAT>

Maron: % Wha...?
% It's can't be...

Noin: ...

Jeanne: Noin! Take the girl and run, quick!

<grab>

Maron: Wha!

<JUMP>


pg 7

Maron: ...

Maron: % Jeanne...

<GLARE>

Maron: I'll save you!!
I swear I'll save you, so wait for me!!

Jeanne: ...


pg 8

<FOOTSTEPS>

Jailer: Check the other side!

Guard: Right!

<FOOTSTEPS>

Noin: ...it's all right now.

Maron: Ow~~~~ That hurt!

Noin: ...somehow, through a Time Slip, we were transported to
fifteenth century Europe.

Maron: WHAT?!

Maron: % Time Slip!
% I See!

Noin: Or it would be a dream...


pg 9

Noin: ...I don't know if this is a dream or not...
And for the day where I can touch her again to come...

Maron: % Noin...
% He really did love Jeanne.
% And for an untouchable love to be through the window...

<gasp>

Maron: Then now the human you must be-

Man: Bishop! Tomorrow is Jeanne's punishment, huh?

Maron: % Who...?

Bishop: That heretic, Jeanne, has the death penalty tomorrow. Her
death will cause enough chaos in France, so that our military
will be victorious before your very eyes.


pg 10

Bishop: Of course, I don't care if God is working through her.
The nation believes that Jeanne's a heretic, so I'll burn her.

Maorn: % Wha...!

Maron: These jerks are so unfair~~~
Just so that they can win their battle, they're going to
kill the innocent Jeanne~~~

Noin: ...it's a Devil.

Maron: Huh?

Noin: How can I say it...
The bishop and his follower, they're both possessed by Devils.

Maron: WHAT?


pg 11

Maron: O-oh no! I've got to seal it right awa-

Maron: % R...right...
% I can't become Jeanne anymore...
% What do I do...

Noin: ...there's another way.

Maron: Oh!
(Really?!)

<sparkle>

Noin: We'll have to release Jeanne.
She has the power to seal Devils.

Maron: I see!
And if the bishop turns back to normal, he'll cancel Jeanne's
death penalty!
(Good idea!)


pg 12

Noin: ...is that all right?

Maron: Hm?

Noin: It seems that it's May 29th here.
Historically, Jeanne will die tomorrow.
We don't know...if we change history, you may not exist, right?

Maron: I don't care.
It's awful.
A person dying in front of me.


pg 13

<heartbeat>

Maron: Hey, Noin. A devil is going to come to you tomorrow, right?

Noin: (Um...)
Yes.

Maron: Then! The you of now is way stronger than a normal devil!
Find the you of the past, and protect him!
And then live as a human...
And become happy together with Jeanne...


pg 14

<cough>

Noin: Let's rest for tonight.
Please, get into my mantle...

Maron: Hmm...
You're not planning to do something weird again, are you?

Noin: I w-wont!

Maron: I'm kidding.
I believe you.
I'll forgive you for that time.
(You can't do it again, though!)
You really weren'nt serious about attacking me, right?
If you were, you would have taken my power when I was sleeping
at sensei's house.

<HEARTBEAT>

Maron: You're really very kind...

<grab>

Noin: Get to sleep!
I told you that I'd keep watching over you like I have since
you were born, didn't I!

Arrow: Actually he said it to Chiaki

Noin: I just don't want to see your crying face again!


pg 15

Noin: (Oh, she's asleep...)

Noin: % I've always been watching, so I know.
% How you won't repeat yourself...
% How you hate lies...
% How you're strong, how you're stubborn, how you're fickle,
% how you're a crybaby...


pg 16

Noin: % And then...

<laugh>

Noin: You really don't resemble Jeanne at all...
This is our parting...
Maron...


pg 17

Maron: It's nearly time.

Noin: ...

<chatter>

Man: It's Jeanne!
Jeanne's come!!


pg 18

Man: She's a witch!

Guy: Burn her!
Kill Jeanne!

Man: Kill her!

Maron: ...
So...it's time for me to go.
From now on, don't mix up the person you truly love with
someone else.
?

pg 19

Maron: % Ah...

Chiaki: $ Maron.

Maron: % I had the pendant Chiaki gave me in my pocket...
% I'm sorry.

<fasten>

Maron: Goodbye!


pg 20

<running>
<SHOVE>

Man: WAAAH!
What?!

<BLOW>

Girl: KYAAAA!

<chatter>

Man: Huge wind!

Girl: It really was...

Maron: % Could it be...
% other people can't see me?
% Maybe because in this place, I'm not even human...?

Maron: Jeanne!!

Jeanne: !


pg 21

Jeanne: You're...

Maron: I came to save you, like I promised!

Jeanne: Why...

Maron: The bishop's posessed by a Devil!
The reason you have the death penalty is all that Devil's
fault!!

Jeanne: You...who are you?

Maron: ...I don't know if you're believe me or not, but I'm the
reincarnation of your soul.

Jeanne: Then you've got the power to seal evil too, right?

Maron: I...wasn't granted that power...
So please!!
Seal the-

Jeanne: ...I can't either.

Maron: % Wha...

Jeanne: I was robbed of my purity.
By the jailer posessed by a Devil, just like the bishop...


pg 22

Jeanne: It's not just the jailer.
Surely, in this city...in this country...most of the people
are posessed by Devils.
It's my fault, I realized it too late.
There's nothing else I can do but die here. Then, the light
that's emitted by my holy power being set free...it'll
purify all of them.
So I'll accept my death.
If all the people are watching me here, then that's even
better.
I can only do it then.

Man: Light the fire!

Maron: % It can't be...!

<running>

Past Noin: Hurry! We have to protect Jeanne, even if it takes our
lives!

Guy: Noin, wait!

Past Noin: !


pg 23

Noin: ...I've found you.
Noin Claud.

<BURNING>

Maron: % This again?
% I...
% I have to watch someone die in front of me...have it all
% end...and there's nothing I can do about it...?


pg 24

Maron: % That...
% That cna't be!

<grab>

Jeanne: !
What are you doing!
It's useless to do that!!

Maron: I told you that I'd save you!!
So I will save you!!

Jeanne: Wha...

Maron: Jeanne, believe!
Who decided that just because some guy was holding you, that
you're impure?!

<COUGH>
<COUGH>

Maron: If that person's heart was of any worth, you're pure forever!
If you can believe in God that much, shouldn't you be able to
believe in yourself?!


pg 25

Maron: You're so amazing...
So don't lose...

Jeanne: % I can hear...
% That straightforward wind...

Jeanne: What's...you're name?

Maron: Maron.

Jeanne: I see...Maron.
I won't release my power.
I'm going to give all the power that I have to you.
Please seal it.


pg 26

Maron: Why...

Jeanne: % I gave up once.
% I ran away...that's why I can't do it.
% But you...because it's you, you can exceed that.
% Because it's you, you can fight this.
% Since your eyes will never give up...
% That's why I'll entrust you with this...
% You said to believe in myself...
% I'm betting everything on you.
% Don't let me regret this.

Jeanne: ...let God's sigh become a Wind
Let all of Creation's Hearts blow

<GLOW>

Jeanne: that Wind is both gentle and fierce at times but
it will surely never Leave you
look to the Ocean
look to the Sky
the Forests too
the Mountains too
with Us


pg 27

<GLOW>

Jeanne: whether this Hope is for Healing or is Demanding
let the time of Undoing progress!


pg 28



pg 29

Jeanne: Become "Heavenly Wind"!


pg 30

Jeanne: ...I transformed...
Jeanne!

<BEEP>
<BEEP>
<BEEP>
<turn>

Jeanne: I can feel it...

Jeanne: % I can feel the power over there!!
% I'm full of power...
% Somehow different, something's different...
% I'm...


pg 31

Jeanne: Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne!
Sent by God, I have been called!!

Jeanne D'Arc Monologue: Winds that live grow huge.
Let you be reincarnated and become strong...
