01x03 - Awakening -Journey

[bunniefuu]

Takt... Cosette...

Do it.

Don't show any mercy.

Eliminate them!

Damn.

They disappeared without even screaming.

Darn it...

It's showtime.

Cosette...

Cosette?

Wait, Cosette.

I see you've woken up.

Cosette...

Anna called me that too.

Maestro, my name is Destiny.

-What are you saying...
-I'm Destiny.

No, wait.

I'm a bit confused right now.

A lot happened yesterday.

Something happened to us,
something that's definitely not normal.

That much is true, right?

I was born from the score
of Symphony No. 5, Destiny.

I'm your Musicart.

And you're the Conductor who conducts me.

Maestro Takt.

Musicart...

Takt, are you awake?

Are you okay to be walking around?

What is all this?

Are we having a party?

Doesn't it look delicious?

You must be hungry.

You slept for so long.

How long?

A whole day.

Surprisingly, you seem perfectly fine.

Do you feel unusual in any way?

I don't feel strange in any way.

Never mind me, what's up with her?

Well...

Lenny said he'll explain everything
once you're awake.

Who's Lenny?

Lenny.

Takt has woken up.

Ah.

The sleeping prince has finally woken up.

Give me a second.

I'll just whip this up real quick.

Nice to meet you, Takt.

I'm Leonard.

Everyone calls me Lenny.

I'm Titan. Nice to meet you, Takt.

When you and Cosette passed out that day,
these two carried you back.

What are you doing?

That's great.

It's a shame about the scar,

but everything seems fine.

You'll still be able to play piano.

Lenny is a Conductor at the Symphonica.

Conductor...

Yes.

Just like you.

We can talk about this while eating.

Do you know

how the D2 suddenly appeared

20 years ago?

Well...

The black meteorites, right?

They fell from the sky one night.

A horde of D2s came out of them.

Yes, the black meteorites,
also known as the Dark Night Meteorites.

The weird power they produce
permeated deeply throughout the planet,

and created the D2.

Until the Symphonica created
the Musicarts,

nothing worked against them,
not even our strongest weapons.

Thanks to the Musicarts,
the situation changed completely.

The source of their power is
Harmonia Crystal.

It possesses the opposite energy
to the Dark Night Meteorites.

It's a mysterious rock
that responds to music.

Even before the D2 attacked,

a few of these crystals had been found.

That's why we're able to fight the D2.

Especially this country,

which was able
to force the D2 into dormancy,

and end the w*r successfully.

So that's why the D2 stopped appearing

after the Sagan Declaration
four years ago,

and places around the country
are beginning to rebuild.

But for some reason,
we're still not allowed to enjoy music.

Does this mean my mission is over already?

This is troublesome.

What should I do now?

Why did she become like this?

And if you two
from the Symphonica were there,

why did this happen?

Regarding the reason why D2s
would appear without warning like that,

we still don't know at this point.

Normally, someone eligible
to become a Musicart

is awakened after complicated procedures

at the Symphonica's research centre.

But she awoke naturally

without following those procedures.

This is unheard of,

even for those
who are eligible from birth.

This might be the only time
it's ever happened.

How fortunate.

Because of this, I was able to
eliminate the D2 from that town.

That's right.

You've been reborn
into an amazing Musicart.

"Reborn"?

But Cosette doesn't want to fight...

She's not Cosette, not anymore.

Continue, please.

Once someone becomes a Musicart,

they change into
a completely different person.

It's not that they lose their memory.

There's no memory to begin with.

The same thing happened to me!

Now that Cosette has become a Musicart,
she's no longer here.

But, if she didn't,

she would have died.

-Am I right?
-Takt, please stop.

We need to get the facts.

Otherwise, we can't do anything.

Your interpretation is correct.

However,
this girl still has another problem.

How can there be
a bigger problem than this?

Once Musicarts awaken,
they can exert their power steadily.

But Destiny is disarmed now,

it's like she's in sleep mode.

I've never seen
an unstable condition like hers.

You mean she has a defect because
she didn't follow the correct procedure?

I successfully annihilated the D2.

Yes, you did well.

But leaving her like this
would be dangerous.

There must be something wrong
with her energy regulation.

Before long,

she might not be able to survive,

not even as a Musicart.

What do you mean?

Cosette...

It looks yummy.

It's Anna's homemade tarte Tatin!

The Symphonica's headquarters
are located in New York.

My sister Lotte is doing research there.

My parents are over there too.

How do we get there?

My car is fine,
although the house is a mess.

The problem is the route.

The transcontinental roads and railways
haven't been rebuilt yet.

The blockaded areas
are still off-limits too.

Going through there
would be suicidal anyway.

They're lands of death
filled with poison spread by the D2.

Then we must head to Las Vegas first,

then go south

along the Gulf of Mexico to New Orleans.

Then go north,

through the Appalachian Mountains,
and you'll hit New York.

The east coast
is filled with ruined towns,

but there are no reports
of the D2 for now.

For now, huh?

In any case,
many places are still dangerous.

Be careful.

I want to contact my parents.

Can't you make a phone call?

The lines are all down in this area.

I need to tell them
about Cosette as soon as possible.

The Symphonica has an exclusive line.

I can inform them for you.

Thank you! That's amazing.

The New York Symphonica
will be able to fix Cosette, right?

They should be able to make her
a lot more stable, at least.

Then we have no choice but to go.

There's no way
I'm going to sit here doing nothing.

I won't let them
take anything else from me.

We can't go
all the way to New York with you,

but let us join you
on your journey for a while.

Takt, you want to learn
the basics of being a Conductor, right?

Yes, thanks.

Well, let's get ready to depart.

I'll go tidy the kitchen.

I'll help you.

Tarte Tatin.

I thought we could all eat it together
after the festival, so I brought it here.

But Cosette didn't eat anything
after coming back.

It was the same
on the first day she came to our house.

She was so nervous,
she didn't eat anything.

But when I served my homemade tarte Tatin,

she ate it.

I really think that
once the Symphonica treats her,

she can go back to being Cosette again.

But Lenny said...

She didn't become a Musicart
because she wanted to.

I think she was just...

trying to protect you.

Takt, your right hand!

What happened?

Maestro, it's an emergency!

Destiny suddenly ran out of the garden.

Titan, can you sense any D2 nearby?

Yes, I can. Over there.

It's still far away,
but I think it's coming this way.

Darn it.

Takt, where are you going?

What's happening...

Calm down, Anna.

Musicarts can sense the existence of D2
even from far away.

It seems Destiny sensed the D2 faster
than Titan, and has gone to defeat them.

Destiny is awesome.

It seems those two are rather special.

We'll have to work out
what we're going to do with them.

As it stands, they're like wild animals.

Lenny.

Anna, please wait for them here.

Don't worry, I'll take care of this.

Go after them, Titan.

Yes, Maestro.

Are you dumb? What are you doing?

I'm simply carrying out my mission.

I can handle this on my own,
you didn't need to rush here.

It's causing me a crazy amount of pain,
every time you fire that g*n like a moron.

Is that so?

I'm sorry to hear that.

Lenny and Titan are coming soon.

So stop...

Elimination complete.

You...

Oh yeah, there's a lot more of them.

Are you dumb or something?

Takt, Destiny. Are you all right?

Titan is here. It's going to be fine.

Titan.

Roger, leave this to me.

Takt, are you okay?

What's happening?

It feels like I'm drowning.

I feel like I might faint
if I don't concentrate,

Could it be...

Are you being devoured by Destiny?

That wouldn't happen
with a normal Musicart.

But Destiny is a special case.

Perhaps she battles
by consuming your life force.

I don't remember allowing that.

It's because you look so yummy.

What do you mean?

Just kidding.

For now, that is.

It's... showtime!

Last one.

Leave this to me.

Cosette...

Citizen, please evacuate.

Anna!

You need to go. It's not safe.

But Takt...

Maestro, the house will be affected.

Is that okay?

It's fine. Blow it away.

Finished.

Finished, you say?

Cosette, look at what you've done.

Takt's house is destroyed.

Can you please control your power?
That was ridiculous.

-Forget it.
-But Takt...

There's nothing here for me anyway.

Let's go.

That bad feeling I had was right.

You mean the D2 are on the move again?

Yes. I can't be sure,

but it feels like they have a plan.

If this is related
to everything that happened,

then ten years ago in Boston,
Maestro must have...

Sorry, Titan.

Well, let's set off.

Our first destination is Las Vegas.

I don't think
there'll be any danger on the way.

Let's drive straight there.

Roger, Anna.

Call me Sister Anna.

But, your name is Anna, isn't it?

Yes, I'm Anna, but I'm your sister too.

Come on, give it a try. Say Sister.

Sister.

See, you can do it!

What are you doing?

I want to play the piano.

I can't believe I haven't touched any keys
for several days.

Just hold back that urge.

It's not like going to the toilet,
I can't just hold it in.

Maestro, you play piano?

Is that a problem?

No, please play it for me
if you get the chance.

Do you understand music?

Of course.

I'm a Musicart.

I was born from music.

By the way,

will I be able to eat that sweet thing
I ate yesterday again?
