Original subtitles

I doze with you in front of the mirror, with rouge fingertips

This hand unexpectedly showed weakness and blocked your lips

I made a promise with you that day

And now we can't remember it

Why don't I have wings to float in the sky,

like the wind, like the clouds?

Why don't I have wings to sink into the all-enveloping night,

like the stars, like the moon? Ahh

Yo! Long time, no see!

Seems you haven't changed either, Dandelion!

How many years off my sentence this time?

7300 days... 20 years.

Twenty years? That's a lot.

So, what kind of case is it?

Vampires have been attacking ships in Albion waters since last month.

Certain remains were recovered from one site.

Here's a picture.

Afaerie?

A rare type, even among vampires.

Upon analysis, it was learned that he was not born as a vampire,

but was instead "converted" into one later on.

So he was made into a vampire, huh?

It seems he was an orphan, and was taken in by a certain someone.

James Barrie.

Former head of Londinium University's medical department

and an Albion aristocrat.

Evidently, he's retired now, and runs a small orphanage on his island.

Cases involving kids really aren't my thing...

There it is.

Leon-san! There's smoke coming out! Smoke!

Huh?

Are you sure this thing's alright?!

The rental fee was dirt cheap...

We'll be fine just as long as the warning light stays off!

Peter!

You have to draw water and tend to the fields before you can play!

Eh?! Can't I do it later?

Yeah! Let's play hide-and-seek!

You too, Carly? Ugh...

What?

Wendy!

They're- They're coming...

The grownups...

Don't worry! I'll beat 'em up!

I'll beat up everyone who hurts you!

Peter...

- Carly. Get the others. - Okay.

I have to pull myself together...

Couldn't you have landed a little more gently?

Just be thankful you're alive!

How are we going to get back home?!

Dunno. The radio's scrapped, too...

Eh?! Does that mean we're stranded, then?!

Well, that is one way of looking at it.

O Lord! I would much rather die than undergo an ordeal like this-

Huh?

Hey, you alive?

Oww!

- Peter! - Oww...

Oh, just some kids...

Get outta here, grownup!

You from this island? Where's your parents?

Like I have any parents! Now get outta here!

Why you! Take this!

Peter!

Dammit...

Professor Barrie is certainly as fond of children as the rumors say!

I hear he takes care of children he adopts from all over...

Yes. I was taken in as an orphan, too.

- Would you like sugar? - Yes, please! Thirteen lumps!

Thirteen?!

Thanks so much! Not only do you rescue me, but you serve me tea!

Not at all...

Here you are.

Thank you!

It's delicious!

I bet you use good tea leaves, huh?! Or maybe it's how you make it?!

Thanks...

So Professor Barrie is out? Are you the only ones here right now?

We can do the cooking and laundry all on our own...

But I'd like to know more about you, Father.

About me?

Who are you? Where are you from?

I'm Abel Nightroad...

I'm with a special branch of the Vatican's Holy Office, the AX...

What am l-

It's all right, Father. What is a member of this "AX" doing here?

To dispose of... the vampires... attacking ships...

Truth serum!

So you came to kill us? Anything else?

Where is... Professor Barrie?!

You're still conscious. I must not have put enough in...

So sorry, Father.

You won't be seeing the professor...

...ever.

What... do you mean?

We've attained it. We won't let grownups get in our way!

This island is for children only.

Wendy?

I lost to an old man...

Who're you calling old man?!

Seriously! No way a kid can beat an adult!

I will get stronger! Much stronger than you!

You'll get strong, and then what?

I'll protect Wendy... I'll protect everyone!

Wendy?

Oh, I get it! You're-

Now I see!

I'm sorry I laughed.

Look, being strong or being weak isn't any excuse. You know?

Protect the girl you like with everything you got now!

If you can do that, you'll be a full-fledged man.

Well, you do got some talent! Another 4 or 5 years and you'll do fine!

Really? Can I get as strong as you?

Well, maybe almost as strong as me!

Really for real?!

Really for real.

Sorry to ask when you're all pepped up, but could you go get Abel?

He's the dumb-looking priest with glasses.

Okay!

I'm a failure, so I never thought I could be like the success cases!

But I'll work hard! I'll work hard to grow up and be strong!

A failure?

Faeries...

You're surprisingly nimble! But...

- What?! - He's fast!

Tom!

Saved me the trouble of finding ya. Now let's play together!

How dare you, you damn grownup!

You'll pay for that!

High-frequency waves!

Die!

Where am I?

Keep quiet...

I'll help you, mister! Come with me!

They hate grownups. You'll both be killed if you stay here!

I wanna leave the island. Take me with you!

Take you?

What are these?

The same as me... Kids who died after failed conversions.

Conversions?

Professor Barrie experimented on them to create artificial vampires?

Blood transfusions, weird things planted into our stomachs or backs...

The "doctor" did nothing but terrible things to everyone...

Especially Wendy... She cried everyday after being hurt...

That's why everyone hates grownups.

But I'm going to grow up to be strong.

I want to be strong and protect Wendy.

Even though I'm a failure, Wendy has always treated me nice.

Peter. Where are you going?

Wendy...

It's all right. Come to me.

No!

We could've been such friends, if only you'd stayed a child forever.

Foolish boy...

Unlike you, he didn't run from fate. He's a fine adult.

I won't let you look down on him!

What would you know?!

System Tinkerbell, activate!

How are you so coordinated?!

They are me, and I am them. My thoughts are controlling them all.

See, just like this!

Goodbye, excuse-loving priest.

The Tinkerbell System!

A master-slave tactical control system...

You used that bell to control the other faeries with your thoughts...

Destroy the bell, and the system stops.

Playtime's over now.

Leon-san!

Leon-san! What are you doing?!

Have you forgotten?!

Our assignment is to arrest Professor Barrie

and wipe out the vampires that attacked the ships!

But we don't need to kill them!

We can always arrest them and take them with us!

Doing that'd be even crueler.

They're rare examples of artificial "converts".

They'd be put through centuries of human experimentation.

But...

Pray for her, if you feel this is horrible!

AX members are allowed to pray! But we're not allowed to pity!

Please wait!

Outta the way!

Peter?

Please... Don't kill Wendy...

Peter. Get out of the way.

Wendy really is nice...

She only did what the doctor ordered her to do...

Peter... It's all right now...

The time has come for our Never Land to end...

Old man! You're strong, right?! Spare Wendy! Spare everyone!

Move, kid!

Leon-san! No!

Please! Old man!

Peter! Please! Stop!

I ain't an old man!

Dammit! I'm suddenly the bad guy here?!

Screw that!

I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Peter...

There ya go.

So, now what, Abel? I assume you got something in mind, right?

I do have something, but...

"We stormed Professor Barrie's hideout on Never Land Island,

where he had been conducting illegal experiments.

While unable to confirm his death, we did get rid of all the vampires."

Very well.

But there is one odd receipt included in your operating expenses...

Something about chartering a cargo ship...

The shipping destination was Londinium, Albion.

And the cost seems to be quite large...

What was this for?

Umm... What was it for again, Abel-kun?

Eh?! Y-yeah, what was it for?

I see. Then I cannot accept this as a work expense.

I hereby deem it a personal expense and transfer the invoice to you.

Eh?!

W-what do we do?! I don't have that kind of money at all!

I live in prison! Like I got any money!

You dolt! Why didn't you think up an excuse beforehand?!

You acted so confident that I figured you had something in mind!

Not thinking is my best quality!

Then why do you look like that?!

- Shut up, four-eyes! - Wait! Did you call me a dolt?!

They're both such children.

I know this will not remain forever

However, it's beautiful

Your eyes, hands, and your warm smile

They're my treasure

It's hard to forget

I wish there was a solution

Don't spend your time in confusion

I'll turn back now and spread

My broken wings- still strong enough to cross the ocean with

My broken wings- how far should I go drifting in the wind

Higher and higher in the light (My broken wings)

Still strong enough to cross the ocean with

My broken wings- how far should I go drifting in the wind

Across the sky, just keep on flying

(What's falling from the sky is not rain... )
