Jikan (2002) Episode 7

Page history last edited by Sakaki 13 years, 5 months ago

Opening Song: Amazing Alleycat

The changing shape of land

Causes humans to scour the earth

 

Heroes aren’t just for children

That’s what they all say

 

Though they maybe small

A blazing will and a new era prove all

 

When the Chips are down and the homework is due….so?

Picking up all our broken will and forging it into a weapon…and?

 

Correcting life’s up and downs…

 

We need an AMAZING ALLEYCAT a placebo to believe in

 

Though the future is far away

He’ll stretch his hands and cover the gap

 

3..2…1

 

(Last time on our exciting adventures, Sakaki and his friends visited Egypt and while Gato and Sakaki lived the high life of being worshipped animals, Atsuko went exploring on her own. After meeting up with a strange woman however, Sakaki and Gato found themselves in a world of trouble when she turned out to only want them for sacrifices! A strange man who knew about Sakaki and Gato’s predicament also seemingly kidnapped Atsuko! Just what on earth is going on here? That’s what we stand to find out on this episode of Sakaki Jikan tabibito!)

 

 

Sakaki: Episode 7: Blazing Intensive Training!

 

(Sakaki wakes up slowly and groans as his eyes get back into focus.)

 

Sakaki: Urgh…I feel absolutely awful…

 

(He sees that Gato and Atsuko are resting peacefully beside him, and scratches his chin.)

 

Sakaki: Funny….I don’t remember Atsuko coming with us….

 

(Then Sakaki remembers everything about Isis, the monsters she had and their battle.)

 

Sakaki: That’s right! But how did I end up here if I was fighting them?

 

(He looks up at the ruined top floor.)

 

Sakaki: Eep. Wow we really must have had an epic battle there….

 

(Then the man who brought Atsuko last time appears.)

 

Man: Tell me about it. I’ve never seen anyone take on Isis so bravely.

 

Sakaki: AH! Who are you?

 

Man: Calm down! I’m the one who pulled you out of all the rubble, and brought the girl here.

 

Sakaki: Huh? Ok…now what do YOU want? Last time we trusted strangers I nearly became a sacrifice.

 

(The man chuckles. He has a very nice quality to himself and always has a pleasant smile. He seems pretty young and wears an eyeglass over one eye.)

 

Man: When all of you are awake I’ll explain it in a way that makes sense.

 

Sakaki: Thank goodness.

 

(Later Gato and Atsuko do rise and as promised the man sits down and explains things.)

 

Man: Now, first off introductions. I’m Anubis.

 

Atsuko: THE ANUBIS?! I’ve heard so much about you!

 

Anubis: Why thank you young lady. Its nice to see that my reputation precedes me.

 

Sakaki: I’m Takahashi Sakaki.

 

Gato: Yo. You can call me Gato.

 

Anubis: Ok, Atsuko, Sakaki, Gato. As you’ve seen that lady Isis she is the cat goddess in Egypt. In order to keep her youth, she has to make sacrifices of rare species of cats. I guess that’s what she deemed Sakaki and Gato, so she tried to sacrifice them.

 

Sakaki: I see…so how did you know to bring Atsuko here?

 

Anubis: Premonition. Besides that I watched you and Gato get pulled in and I wanted to help. So many victims before have been drained by that woman….unfortunately no one with enough strength was able to stop her…until you Sakaki.

 

Sakaki: Me?

 

Anubis: Though you ended up being defeated, you did manage to show strength and bravery in the face of danger. I think you might just have what it takes to beat Isis.

 

Sakaki: Hmmm…

 

Atsuko: Sakaki, I think you should go for it! You are very strong! And I believe in you!

 

Gato: That lady has got to pay for deceiving a bunch of good guys like us right?

 

Sakaki: Ok…I’m willing to do whatever it takes to stop her.

 

Anubis: Very well.

 

(He walks aside and into a dark cavern. In a minute he returns holding a small box, and hands it to Sakaki.)

 

Sakaki: This is…?

 

Anubis: Why not open it up and find out?

 

(He opens it and finds a very small sword. Its red and decorated with flames.)

 

Sakaki: Errr…what do I do with this?

 

(The sword becomes bigger in Sakaki’s hands and lands on the floor.)

 

Sakaki: AWESOME!

 

(He picks it up and ends up burning his hand. This causes him to run around the room waving his hands.)

 

Atsuko: You’re looking less brave by the minute….

 

Gato: Hey Anubis…mind talking about that thing some more? While this is entertaining…we have to beat that Isis lady right?

 

Anubis: Heh…yeah, don’t worry I have ways of helping Sakaki with that.

 

(Later Sakaki’s hands are bandaged and Anubis is practicing swinging with the sword.)

 

Anubis: This is the sword of flames…and as you can see it’s not just a pretty name.

 

Sakaki: Yeah….

 

Anubis: It IS possible to wield this sword without burning your hand off. But you need to train with it.

 

Sakaki: OK! What is it?!

 

Anubis: You seem pumped up now….

 

Sakaki: Its because even though it burned me, I felt the awesome power that thing had! I have to master it now because I want to be strong enough to earn it.

 

(Anubis laughs heartily.)

 

Sakaki: What’s wrong?

 

Anubis: I’ve never seen anyone more encouraged after being burned. Your reaction is just new to me that’s all.

 

Sakaki: Well I wanna be good….

 

Anubis: You see that cavern there?

 

Sakaki: Yeah?

 

(Anubis points to a cave entrance adjacent to where they are standing.)

 

Anubis: That is the room of the fire soul. Go in there and you can train to master the sword of flames. Of course it goes without saying that it’s really dangerous in there.

 

Sakaki: It doesn’t matter…I have to master that sword so that I can lift it.

 

(Anubis hands him the box again, and Sakaki marches over to the door and is stopped by Atsuko and Gato.)

 

Atsuko: I wanna go too Sakaki.

 

Gato: Where toots goes…I go.

 

Sakaki: You guys….

 

(Sakaki turns to Anubis.)

 

Sakaki: Is it ok?

 

Anubis: If your friends have as much bravery as you…I don’t see the harm in it.

 

Sakaki: Thanks guys….

 

(They both nod and Sakaki faces the cave entrance again.)

 

Sakaki: We’re going!

 

(They all walk in and disappear from sight.)

 

Anubis: I only hope that my hunch is right about that kid….

 

(Sakaki and his friends walk down a long corridor that is engulfed in darkness. Finally they see light and head towards it only to find that they are walking down a bridge suspended over large jumping flames.)

 

Sakaki: Well..seems like “Room of the fire soul” isn’t just a fancy name either.

 

Gato: One wrong step and the ball game’s over…

 

(Atsuko looks around and sees something at the end of the bridge.)

 

Atsuko: Hey guys I think I see a house or village or something….

 

Sakaki: Really? Well Anubis didn’t exactly say what I should be doing on my training but I suppose that’s a good chance as any to find out.

 

(They all step down the bridge slowly until they get to the end where they find three huts.)

 

Gato: So what now?

 

Sakaki: We ask around…not like we have a lot of asking to do….

 

(Sakaki heads to the first hut and finds no one in it.)

 

Sakaki: Nothing..

 

(Atsuko goes to the second one and finds that while there’s no one in it, there are toys and a bed.)

 

Atsuko: No one here, but it looks lived in.

 

Gato: Looks like I’m next.

 

(They all go to third hut and peer in just to have a pot thrown at them.)

 

All: AUGH!

 

(More objects come out of the hut until Sakaki ducks and weaves around them and gets into the hut itself.)

 

Sakaki: HEY! QUIT IT!

 

(Sakaki finds a troll like thing hiding inside the hut and preparing to throw another item.)

 

Sakaki: We’re not hostile! Please quit with the pummeling!

 

Troll: No one comes down this hellish room unless they’re after the pyramid’s treasures.

 

Sakaki: What? No! We came here because I wanna learn how to wield the sword of flames!

 

Troll: Is that it?

 

Sakaki: Yeah.

 

Atsuko: Why are you here by yourself anyway? In fact who could LIVE in a place like this?

 

Troll: Well us Dillas, are known to live in inhospitable places…but I was actually about to leave here. This side of the bridge is going to collapse anytime now….

 

Sakaki: Great….we had to come on a day like this….

 

Gato: So why are you still here?

 

Dilla: Its because my child is missing! I can’t very well leave it here….

 

Sakaki: Oh no….

 

Atsuko: So that’s who that stuff in the other hut belonged to…

 

Dilla: Yes…I can’t find my child anywhere…and if I don’t hurry this place will collapse…

 

Sakaki: Where was the last place you saw it?

 

Dilla: It was on the bottomless route under this small village.

 

Sakaki: Where’s the exit leading there?

 

Dilla: I’ll show you.

 

(They head outside and find a black hole leading down for a long time.)

 

Dilla: I’ve been praying that my child didn’t fall down there….its name isn’t….

 

Atsuko: We know…isn’t a fancy decoration…

 

Gato: I notice a running theme in the jokes this episode….

 

Sakaki: I’ll go look for it.

 

Atsuko: But it’s bottomless! How will you ever do that Sakaki?

 

(Sakaki takes out his previous sword.)

 

Sakaki: With this!

 

Gato: How will THAT help?

 

(Sakaki jumps down the hole and sticks his sword in the wall making him slow down and stop falling completely.)

 

Gato: I see! Nice thinking!

 

(Sakaki jumps down some more and sticks the sword in the wall. He continues this pattern until he finds that he’s pretty deep down, and its getting really hot.)

 

Sakaki: I must be close to the molten core….now is that kid anywhere near here?

 

(He looks around and doesn’t see anything. Suddenly the heat flow begins to come upward rapidly.)

 

Sakaki: What’s this? Why is everything leading upward at once like this?

 

(Then lava rushes up at Sakaki.)

 

Sakaki: AH!

 

(He begins to use the sword to head back up to the surface, but can’t move fast enough. Luckily the heat just nips his legs and heads back down.)

 

Sakaki: Owww….I got off easy though…next time won’t be like that….

 

(Up above Sakaki hears Atsuko yelling.)

 

Sakaki: ATSUKO! What’s going on?!?

 

(Up above the floor has already begun to collapse and the others are trying to get to the bridge before they fall into the flames. On her own level Isis watches through a mirror in the wall and cackles.)

 

Isis: I can’t directly enter Anubis’s realm, but I can change things as I wish! You fools will either die by my hands or incinerate in the flames!

 

(Sakaki tries to get back up but then he looses grip on his sword and falls.)

Sakaki: NO! I can’t let my friends be hurt!

 

(He takes out the sword of flames and it instantly gets bigger. Sakaki grabs it and burns himself again dropping it on a crevice below him. He falls on the crevice and is burned slightly by the lava.)

 

Sakaki: AHHHHHHUGHHHHHHHH!

 

(Sakaki takes the sword of flames is burned again and nearly drops it, but wavers to keep it steady.)

 

Sakaki: This pain is nothing…compared to knowing that my friends are in trouble...and I can’t help!

 

(He lifts up the sword of flames and sticks it into the wall and begins climbing up. The searing pain causes his movements to be slow and awkward but he slowly makes it up the wall again and slowly but surely getting used to the heat of the blade.)

 

Sakaki: I can do it! My friends are depending on me!

 

(Sakaki makes it back up to his own sword and pulls it out. Then he gets back on the top where the bridge is and sees that his friends are on the bridge running back towards the center room.)

 

Sakaki: Guys! I’m here!

 

Atsuko: Sakaki! Come on!

 

(Sakaki runs over to join them and they all go to the center room, but just as it seems like they’ll make it fire erupts through the center of the bridge causing it to break in half. Gato Atsuko, and the Dilla manage to make it to the safe side, but since Sakaki is very injured he is slow and doesn’t quite make it.)

 

Atsuko: SAKAKI!

 

(Sakaki slowly begins to black out from his own injuries and the heat.)

 

Sakaki: I gotta stay awake….I just now mastered the sword…I can’t die….

 

(Unfortunately Sakaki faints and the bridge that he’s on slowly begins to sink….)

 

Anubis: In order to hold the sword…one must be able to smother its flame with their own flame of passion…but to use the sword…ones passion must be able to take shape and become one with it.…I only hope Sakaki can get that soon enough….

 

(Sakaki lies in the middle of the flames unconscious and out of luck…..)

 

 

Ending Song: Lonely World

 

 

The Sunset reminds some of their pasts

The green grass crunches quietly under my feet

 

There is only one chance to be born

It’s such a nice feeling to appreciate birth

 

With anyone who is around…

 

What is the energy of love?

That it can only be shared in a circle

 

What’s the energy of belief?

That can only be shared among friends?

 

When my heart is broken and I cry

I’ll dry my tears alone on the LONLEY WORLD

 

La..la…la

 

NEXT TIME’S STORY

 

Atsuko: It’s the climax!

 

Gato: We’ve come this far and we’re not letting it stop here! Isis has got what we’re looking for and we’re itching for a fight!

 

Atsuko: Ready for it? We want a match!

 

Atsuko and Gato: GO FIGHT ‘EM SAKAKI!

 

Sakaki: Why is it ME all the time anyway? Don’t you guys want a piece of the action?

 

Gato: Why take a very good position from you?

 

Atsuko: good luck!

 

Sakaki: Next time on Sakaki Jikan tabibito!

 

SWORD OF FLAMES! ISIS MEETS HER END

 

Sakaki: I can never forgive you!
