02x10 - The Woman in Black

[bunniefuu]

I hear your plea. And I would help.

If I could. However. My power is.

All but depleted. If I lent you grace, it would last for.

But a second.

What could you do in a single second?

Such a trifling gift would be.

Useless.

One second is all the time I need.

You're gonna leave me hanging?

Hurry up, man.

Just one second.

Such a short time. Tell me, what will you do? In one second.

I'll protect the forest. The feeling I get

from you reminds me of a dollar

of the evangelist. So who exactly are you?

Who am I? One who is no different than you. Do not fear.

You told the creatures here that you

had come to create this world anew.

Then once the evangelist trying to do.

What she wants. Her final goal. Is

to perform a terrible and arcane act.

One that would engulf this land. In fire.

Destroying everything. All I have done is

to create a place of refuge.

One that will last. Until the destruction

that she seeks. Comes to fruition.

Destroying the earth with fire. That's what Raka was talking about.

The time is growing ever more thin. I shall grant you grace.

On. I'm ready now.

When I link with grace,

my body basically breaks down into particles.

As I go beyond light speed, time

runs backwards. The particles reassembled..

To how they were in the past.

These images. Are they Tempe's memories? Why am I the only one?

Why me?

The great cataclysm took away everything I held dear.

All my wealth, my property, and my family.

Why am I the sole survivor? I hate it.

Damn, the great cataclysm. It stripped away my status,

my family, and worst of all, my fortune.

I'm here.

I've arrived at the spacial rift.

It feels rigid. Is there not any way

for me to move beyond it?

What if what lies ahead is a place forbidden to humankind?

What's left for me?

Somebody came through. But how? Who? What?

What are you.

Wait, could it be? Your. Your God. That's it.

The evangelist. Dear God, you've seen the hardships I've endured.

And you've crossed over to the earthly

plane to grant me your blessing.

The great cataclysm has cost me my status and wealth.

Please bless me with that kind of joy.

Once again, I beseech you, please hear my prayer.

Read me the salvation I so desperately crave. I am ready.

Yeah.

But it's.. Magnificent. Now I shall become a goddess.

The great bishop. The highest. So the evangelist

came through the spatial rift to.

Anyway, this man, tempeh here, is beyond home.

Return to the great flame of fire.

Uh, what happened? Where's the demon? I don't see Shinra either.

Did he take out the demon that quickly?

Oh man, a doula burst is so powerful. It's crazy.

Looks like I got way outside of the forest.

I need to get back to the others.

If the evangelists did come from beyond the rift.

Does that mean? She isn't from our world?

Fire soldier in just one second. You wiped out the demon.

I was told that you came from beyond the Rift as well.

And there's something that reminds me of the evangelist.

Are you being from a dollar, too?

You sense that for? I've spent ages inside the tabernacle.

Enkindled by an adolla burst. The longer I b*rned,

the more intense the presence of a dollar became.

I began my life as a human being

no different than you or the demon Tempeh.

I was set alight with an adolla

burst from one of the evangelists insects.

She and I traveled to this world together.

You want to know to find the connection

between me and the evangelist? But know this

I'm merely someone she brought here on a whim.

There's nothing more to it than that.

I did repair the tabernacle, but it was

already established here years ago when I first arrived.

The animals living here, they were in agony.

I use the tabernacles energy to create

an oasis where they could live their

lives surrounded by tranquil beauty and peace.

Since ancient times, mankind has established many religions,

each envisioning different interpretations of heaven and hell. God and the Devil.

Though they hail from different lands, speak

different languages, they share certain commonalities.

All have concepts of gods and demons personifications of good and evil.

If this is true and all religions

that have existed in this world.

Are based on visions of a doula.

Ones that she has shown others. Then perhaps since ancient times,

further back than you could imagine,

the evangelist has been at work shaping

mankind's ideologies all from behind the scenes of history.

One could proclaim that the gods humanity is dreamed of.

Those they have worshipped are merely her inventions.

Mhm.

This is your enemy. The very

being who created the image of the deity you worship.

Your idea of God. So be warned.

God. Huh? No matter who it is,

if they're bringing calamity to this world,

it's a fire soldier sworn duty to stop him.

That creed is the reason. Why this forest has been saved.

That won't be forgotten. Thank you.

That was some ginormous expl*si*n.

Oh, good, sir. Everyone all right? Lieutenant Pan,

we took care of business out here, in fact.

Sheena, just put the demon arrest.

Hey. Well, speak of the devil. Air.

Lieutenant Pan. So it's in there. You done

investigating? We hit the mother lode.

I don't hear her voice anymore. I wonder

if she's gone back to sleep.

Thanks to your help. The demons at rest. I'm grateful.

Can't believe how much we've learned here.

This investigation has taken us a giant leap forward.

If Tokyo's Amaterasu was set up the same way,

then it'll also have a human power

source at the core. And that excites you.

Anyway, if Amaterasu his power source comes

from someone with an adult burst,

then the eight pillars would be sacrifices.

And if that's really the case, then the word pillar fits perfectly.

We've been calling that girl who linked with me the first pillar.

If you're right and there's someone inside Amaterasu,

then that girl, she could have been a sacrifice.

I got such an intense feeling of burning hatred from her.

She could hate humanity for making her into a sacrifice.

So she's not like the woman in black inside the tabernacle.

Maybe it wasn't her choice. She was forced against her will.

Amaterasu was built by the Holy Soul

Temple and Haijima Industries. Seems like they're hiding something.

Those eight arrows we found at the core.

Look to be some kind of keys.

And Dr. Giovanni stole that memory. Stick from Vulcan.

Maybe that has info on the key to Amaterasu.

Like its own version of those arrows.

Could be. But this series of numbers is a real head scratcher.

Arthur says he thinks it's pie. But until

we get back home to Tokyo and we can verify that,

I can't say for sure. And even if it is,

we still don't really know if the two are related.

Well, whatever the case, I'm sure things

are going exactly how the evangelist wants.

Sacrificing the $ bursts and using Amaterasu

to kick off another great cataclysm.

We're starting to get a clear picture of her goal,

but I swear I will not let

her wrap us around her finger anymore.

She may be God, but I'm stopping her.

Oh.

You're leaving already? Like right now.

You can't stay longer. We heroes are busy people.

Real heroes. You're really amazing, Shinra. I'm such a dang weakling.

I always have to ask for help.

I can barely do anything on my own,

and I'm way too scared to fight. Just a coward.

What's too much for you is too much for you.

That's how it is. There's no reason

to b*at yourself up about it.

Getting in over your head will make you miserable anyway.

All you wanted to do was save the forest, right?

Nothing wrong with asking people to help you to do that.

Matter of fact, being able to face

your weaknesses and know what they are

is its own kind of strength.

And asking for help takes courage.

The.

If things get rough. Now, you've got some heroes to call on.

I'll dig a thousand holes a day to make myself stronger.

And if that doesn't get me there, then I'll call for help.

See you later.

Are. You guys really..

Should be wearing your masks, you know?

The first pillar.

Are you inside Amaterasu?

Or wait, are you a amazarashi itself?

Shinra.

We're back in Tokyo, so get up. Yes, sir.

That girl showed up in my dreams again.

I guess your mom and dad are relieved now, huh? Yep.

I told them all about Scope and the others.

All them craters is back in the oasis,

so they ain't got no dang reason

to go on radar taters no more. Everything's peachy.

If we knew their bellies was rumbling,

we could have just let them over some taters, don't you know?

Well, I'm glad you got to see your folks.

Me too. The potatoes were doing really

good. I wanted way more adventure. I want more giggle. Gas.

That girl from my dream.

She was surrounded by all this evaporating

water and it looked like she was crying.

Matarasso. I wonder who she really is.

If it's true that there's actually someone inside Amaterasu.

It means there's a contradiction in the

Scripture of the Holy Sol Temple,

which has guided the Tokyo Empire.

Remember what the prologue says. Many years

ago, mankind faced a divine fury.

Many years ago, mankind faced a divine

fury in an event known as the Day of the Cataclysm.

Our entire world was b*rned. The fire

raged with an intensity that threatened to reduce mankind to ash.

The places they lived, the languages they spoke,

the culture they had built. None could escape its wrath.

As the world man had built, was

buried in ash. A leader appeared.

A man who would later be known as raffles. The first

Raffles and his disciples embarked on a quest to find new light.

And they did what Raffles found was an unsullied flame,

the spark that would kindle an empire.

Raffles said once that the Unsullied Flame

was a gift from the great soul.

He resolved to harness its power with

technology and created amaterasu by the light of Amaterasu sacred flame.

The people began to rebuild with its power.

They established a new state in the.

Catch you guys later.

Currently Amaterasu is operating at full efficiency.

Amaterasu was a driving force behind our country's development.

If it turns out the evangelist was

actually the one who gave mankind the Idola Amherst's.

Then you could argue that the evangelist developed this country.

So why would she be trying to destroy it now?

It's weird. Kind of makes you wonder

if the Holy Sol Temple is hiding something.

Let's go in and give our report to Captain Obi.

The city of Tokyo is swimming with every

manner of intrigue, deceit and corruption.

But there is one man who risked

life and limb to fight the forces of evil.

He leaked. What is all this about?

This your idea of justice? Victor leaked.

Next time on Fire Force. Season two Episode Dark Hero.
