Maron: (thinking) I always believedthat everyone were my enemies. That’s why
I couldn’t show my
weakness to anyone. “Someone like you would never be able tolive on your
own.” I was so so scared.
Beneath my feet was the bottomless ocean. Everyone’swaiting. 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 hatemyself, who hurts
people around me from fear.
You guys too, right? You guys hate me too, right? I’mstrong! I’m not going
to give up!
(Chiaki hugging Maron who is on a hospital bed. Chiaki with tearsin his eyes,
staring at Maron.)
Maron: (thinking) Chiaki, are youcrying? Why?
Chiaki: (thining) I don’t wantMaron to go away.
Maron: (thinking) You don’t wantme 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 thatshe couldn’t
face... that was clever
of your, Satan.
Satan: Now, how are you going to fight against someone whoalready knows all
your weaknesses, Maron?
(the two Jeannes getting ready to battle. The Maron drops hersword. Chiaki
and Finn looking on.)
Chiaki: What happened? Maron....
Maron: Ummm, to tell you the truth, I really don’t want tofight!
Head Angel: Huh?
Finn: What?
Chiaki: Maron...
Maron: (thinking)I don’tneed a sword. I believe in peace. (takes her ribbon
off and transforms back
into Maron) Ialways 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!) (outloud)
You can cry now! You’re
not alone anymore!
(the bad Jeanne starts fading, and with tears and a smile on herface, Jeanne
disappears into the air)
(Maron grabs the rosary Jeanne left behind and throws it at thepainting of
Satan)
Maron: CHECKMATE!
(the manga travels back to the past)
Maron’s mom: huh? Hmmm... I thought I heard something. Maybeit 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, theyoung 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, blockingMaron from the
attack)
Maron: FINN!!!! (The attack hits her hard, shrinking her back intoher 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 mydecision to do
this. Access, I loved you
forever. But I couldn’t leave Satan by himself. (looking at the paintingof
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’renot 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 powerof
“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 notbe able to
make her alive again, but
at least, you will be able to make her reincarnate. But once yougive 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 Finnagain, so it’s
ok. Besides, I’m not going to
give up! I’ll be reborn using my own powers! I don’tcare 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 Itransformed myself back to
Maron. My life, my
history. I don’t want to give that up to anyone. If thebreath of God is
called “Kamikaze”, I want to be
that wind. The feeling you want to give to all humans, I want togive that in
your place. And one day,
even if I can’t be Jeanne, I want to capture all the evilinside the hearts of
everyone. I believe you, God.
I’ll always watch you. Even if we’re apart, I’llbe here, God.
God: Thank you, Maron.
Access: (withtears in his eyes, still holding Finn) I’m going to go backto
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 ismy 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 backto earth.
Access: See ya later, Chiaki!
Chiaki: When we meet next time, I’ll make a mountain ofpancakes for you!
(pinkypromising, in small
print : a guy-to-guy promise!)
(Finn lights up for a second and disappears)
Maron: (thinking)Let’smeet 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 bewith 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 theyturn
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? Iwonder 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 isgoing 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 myfault!
(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 nighton 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 cameback 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 nightwill 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 theKusakabe 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: (hidingbehind 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’vebeen 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 awall from
his dad) Miyako-san!
Shinji’s right here!
Miyako: (stormingwith 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: (lookingat Chiaki)But we promised!
Chiaki: (smallprint: You sure remember well...)
Miyako: Hey, Maron’s home!
Chiaki: Maron?! (author’s note: Isn’t it about time to stop yourheart 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 startstalking 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: (smallprint: What do you mean, “yeah!”?) But I saw her oncebefore...

Maron: She’s had her right hand in a fist the whole time andshe 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 togo 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 atthis comment)
MIyako: AY! Why are you proposing now?
(Chiaki puts his arms on Maron’s shoulders and gives her akiss on her forehead)

Maron: (thinking)You canhear 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 andlots of
sounds. (picture of Noin
and Silk in human shape: Noin: When Maron is reborn again, she will bemine!
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. (pictureof 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 ahuman. 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 thewind.... 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 girllying
in the shade of a tree) I want
to be a wind like that. And I want to fly. I want to sweep upsadness, and
spread happiness. When
you’re sad, just cry. I’ll be there. When you’rehappy, just call. I’ll be
there. But because we’re girls,
there are times that you get tired. There are times that you holdback your
tears. So in times like that,
sweetheart, I’m going to come flying down (picture of Chiaki,holding his arms
out) sohold me in your
arms gently. (Chiaki and Maron, both with angel wings on theirback, hugging
with angel feathers
surrounding them.)
