Episode 6: Gathering Love, Hope, And...


Translated by Arctic Passerine

Scene: A town square in Landsol.

Morra's capture has weakened Kasumi and Shiori. Meanwhile, Shizuru's power of love has caused the anti-beast to grow giant. The magical girls find themselves backed into a corner.

Shizuru Noire
Now, magical girls. Will you retreat?

Shizuru Noire
My little brother needs his big sister. My love will protect him.

Misty Kasumi
... Shizuru is acting strange. Is she losing control of her emotions?

Purely Shiori
Perhaps this is the influence of that giant anti-beast...!?

Yuuki
1. "No matter what, we must stop it."

Misty Kasumi
There's no doubt about that, but... Speaking frankly, the situation doesn't look good.

Purely Shiori
Right. Morra is in Shizuru's clutches... And because of that, our power is vanishing steadily...

Misty Kasumi
And on top of all that...

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Purely Shiori
The power from both Shizuru and Morra is flowing into the anti-beast, making it stronger.

Misty Kasumi
It... doesn't seem like we stand a chance.

Shizuru Noire
So, then, shouldn't you give up?

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Misty Kasumi
Waaah!?

Purely Shiori
Eeeek!?

Shizuru Noire
See? Isn't the difference in power obvious?

Shizuru Noire
It would be better for you to hand him over obediently. You have nothing to worry about, you see? All I want to do is cherish my little brother.

Shizuru Noire
It's not as though I've been destroying buildings and injuring people, have I?

Morra
No, you can't...! If her feelings of love grow stronger, the anti-beast will grow larger still...!

Morra
If that happens, this town will be...!

Shizuru Noire
Hey, stop making me sound like a villain. Do you want me to get angry?

Yuuki
1. "I'd like you to release Morra."
2. "Anti-beasts are dangerous."

Option 1.

Shizuru Noire
Even if that's your wish, I can't grant it. If I were to let him go, wouldn't he only get in my way again?

Option 2.

Shizuru Noire
That's not true. When these creatures are with me, I feel like I can do anything. Yes, you're a good boy who will help me spread my love, aren't you?

End of branches

Shizuru Noire
... Sigh. Do you mean that you're rejecting your sister's love? That really hurts me.

Shizuru Noire
I wonder how those magical girls are doing?

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Misty Kasumi
Assistant -- ugh!

Purely Shiori
Watch out -- wah!

An explosion.

Morra
Their transformations... have...!?

Shizuru Noire
My, this seems to be the end of the magical girls. Without any power, they can't remain transformed any longer, can they?

Kasumi
Looks like this is it...!

Shiori
Pant, pant... Not here...!

Kasumi
... Run away, Assistant. If you get captured, it'll really be over.

Shiori
... Even if our attacks can't hurt it, we can at least buy you time. Please, escape however you can...!

Shizuru Noire
So you're still standing against me. ... Okay! Then, let me show you two just how much I love my little brother!

Both
Wha!?

Shizuru Noire
If I use the power of the anti-beasts, my love should be able to reach absolutely everyone!

Shizuru Noire
One by one, all the people of Landsol will know this big sister's love...

Yuuki
1. "I won't allow that."

Kasumi
Assistant! Don't do this, just run... Run!

Shiori
I, I have to protect him...! If I only had the power to...!

Shizuru Noire
Come here, little brother! Then, everyone will understand the depths of my love for you!

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Morra
Everyone...!

Hatsune
That's not gonna happen! Hi-yaaaah!

A spell hits the anti-beast.

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Shiori
The anti-beast's movements have stopped...!? And that voice... Big sister Hatsune!?

Hatsune appears.

Hatsune
Hatsune joins the battle! Kiraaa-n! When my little sister's in trouble, I'll come running no matter where!

Saren appears.

Saren
Everyone, are you all right!?

Saren
You two are with Yuuki, so you must be the magical girls, right!?

Kasumi
... Never thought I'd be unmasked this way...! No, but more importantly, Miss Saren, why did you come here...?

Saren
I heard a giant monster was on the rampage. ... The children insisted on coming along.

Girl 1
Where are the magical girls?

Girl 2
They'll be here in a jiffy to take out that big baddie, I bet!

Saren
Listen, don't get any closer! You promised you'd stay far away, remember!

Saren
... These girls believe in you. They believe that the magical girls will surely show up.

Nanaka
Exactly!

Nanaka appears.

Nanaka
Never giving up no matter how powerful the enemy is, returning to fight even after a million defeats -- that's what it means to be a magical girl!

Both
Coach!?

Nanaka
Heh heh heh. Screen time is something you need to grab for yourself! By popular demand, Magical Girl Nanaka has returned!

Girl 1
Ehh, she looks different!

Girl 2
I liked the two from before better!

Nanaka
... Oh, okay. I see...

Saren
U-Um, I'm... sorry for their behavior.

Shizuru Noire
Ha ha. Don't you see that, no matter how many of you show up, it's all for nothing? Without a magical girl, you'll never defeat this anti-beast!

Anti-beast
Roaaaaar!

Hatsune
Waah, how powerful! I don't think I can hold it in place for much longer!

Hatsune
Kasumi, Shiori! Can you two finish this?

Shiori
B-But... We can't transform anymore...!

Saren
... You can't just give up, can you?

Nanaka
My disciples! Have you forgotten the teachings of Nanaka!?

Hatsune
You can't give in! You need a smile for every occasion! Kiraaa-n!

Yuuki
1. "... I hear something."

Kasumi
... Huh?

Man 1
Over there! That monster, the one from the other day...!

Man 2
The one that our attacks couldn't scratch! But we'll be all right! Because those girls will definitely show up!

Man 3
Yeah! The magical girls who've been protecting this city...! Not just that, but protecting us, too!

Shiori
The townspeople are here...!?

Woman
Magical Detective Misty Kasumi! Magical Huntress Purely Shiori! We're waiting for you!

Man 4
Take out that monster as stylishly as you always do!

Kasumi
They believe... in us...!

Girl 1
Purely Shiori!

Girl 2
Misty Kasumi!

Townspeople
Magical girls!

Kasumi
Ah...! Deep within me, I feel power beginning to well up...!

Shiori
Y-Yes...! What's this warm light...?

Morra
From both of you... I can feel incredibly powerful love and hope...! Now is the time... Sir Knight...!

Yuuki
1. "The two of you, transform!"

Kasumi
Yeah! Let's go, Shiori!

Shiori
Yes! Together, Kasumi!

Kasumi
Misty, theory, truly! Magical ribbon, spiral!

Shiori
Pure heart, lock on! Magical arrow, critical!

They transform.

Misty Kasumi
Magical Detective Misty Kasumi is on the case!

Purely Shiori
Magical Huntress Purely Shiori will pierce your heart with love!

Men
It's the magical girls!

Girls
Do your best!

Misty Kasumi
I feel... more powerful than I ever have...!

Purely Shiori
With this power, we'll be able to protect everyone...!

Morra
What incredibly powerful love...! The two of you... have shattered my wildest expectations...! I'm as proud as any magical creature could be...!

Shizuru Noire
... So, everyone is against me. What a pain! You've got guts to oppose the Dark Sister!

Begin cutscene.

Shizuru Noire
I won't let you stand in the way of my sisterly love! Get them!

The anti-beast roars and launches its fists as rockets. The magical girls avoid the blows. A bunch of very impressive animation ensues.

Shiori blocks one of the fists.

Misty Kasumi
Shiori!

Purely Shiori
Now is your chance, Kasumi!

Misty Kasumi
... Now I see! You've created an opening for me!

Kasumi ensnares the anti-beast with her Misty Wrapping.

Misty Kasumi
Let's go, Shiori! Or should I say -- Purely Shiori!

Purely Shiori
Y... Yes! Let's do this, Misty Kasumi!

Misty Kasumi
The light of hope will resolve this mystery!

Purely Shiori
The purest love will find its mark!

Both
This attack will end this, once and for all!

Misty Kasumi
Mystic Prism!

Purely Shiori
Purely Snipe!

Both
Go!

Their combined attack pierces the anti-beast. The two of them turn around.

Both
We will protect the tranquility of Landsol!

The anti-beast explodes in a heart shape behind them.

End of cutscene.

Morra
The anti-beast is dissolving...! YES! The two of you have triumphed!

Misty Kasumi
... Whew. I guess we won, Shiori.

Purely Shiori
Yes...! With our power, we protected the peace of Landsol...!

Hatsune
Shiori! Or I should say, Purely Shiori! Misty Kasumi! Congrats! ... I'm way too sleepy... Zzz.

Saren
Wonderful work, magical girls! Thank you for protecting the city!

Girl 1
That was super cool, Purely Shiori!

Girl 2
Come again to play sometime! Misty Kasumi!

Nanaka
Hmm, hmm. So you've surpassed your coach now... You two are true masters! Oh, by the way, you've got room in the ranks for one more magical girl, don't you? Because I know someone perfect for the job! Why don't we talk after?

Townspeople
Thank you! Purely Shiori! Misty Kasumi!

Misty Kasumi
All of this is making me blush a little.

Purely Shiori
But not out of embarrassment... Right?

Misty Kasumi
... Not at all.

Morra
(The two of you... are truly magnificent magical girls.)

Purely Shiori
Morra? Did you say something?

Morra
Nothing at all! I was just thinking of how thankful I am!

Misty Kasumi
Rather than thinking it, why don't you just say it...

Shizuru
Ooh... oh...

Shizuru falls down.

Yuuki
1. Catch her.

Shizuru
H-Huh...? Little brother...?

Shizuru
What... am I doing here...? I feel like I was having some kind of dream...

Purely Shiori
Shizuru... Do you not remember?

Morra
Maybe this was the influence of the anti-beasts. They can cause people's emotions to become disturbed and confused.

Misty Kasumi
Hopefully we don't see any relapses...

Shizuru
... Well, it doesn't matter! Waking up in my little brother's arms is just like a dream, anyway! You're like your big sister's prince, you know that?

Purely Shiori
... There might not have been any influence after all.

Misty Kasumi
... Seems like it.

Man 1
Hey, I'm gonna get the magical girls' autographs!

Man 2
Oh, wait up! I want them, too!

Man 3
Magical Detective Misty Kasumi! Magical Huntress Purely Shiori! Please, give me your autograph!

Misty Kasumi
Waah!? This could be trouble, Shiori! We've got to get away!

Purely Shiori
I agree...! Let's go! Yuuki! Kasumi! Morra!

Narration
Having vanquished their terrible enemy, the two of them fulfilled their duties as magical girls. Thank you, Magical Detective Misty Kasumi. Thank you, Magical Huntress Purely Shiori. And...
