The Danger Element Page #5

---

Don't let this moment

be for nothing.

Neither of you.

Enki, your brother needs you.

You don't understand

what you've put him through.

But he left me alone.

Enki, He's here now.

Jitni. Forgive your sister.

I know I don't need to say

anything more than that.

Forgive her.

And forgive yourself.

I love you, my boy.

Blood or not.

Listen to me, My Daughter.

You who have broken

the laws of the universe

to return to me.

Though you have lost faith

in the Lord,

I will always have faith in you.

And from this day forward,

should you ever find a reason

to approach Him,

know that I will personally

burn the incense

of your payers at his feet.

Should the Lord Most High

have ever smelled anything

so sweet as a single petition

from my only daughter.

[whoosh]

Goodbye.

[whoosh]

[whoosh]

Hey, guys.

[fast music]

Hey. He's gone.

He knew I'd come back here.

So, what did he want you

to forgive her for.

What are you talking about?

Enki's father.

He asked you to forgive her.

What for?

That's the part I said

you wouldn't believe.

Try me. What happened?

Enki always had a hard time

with all this.

The order. The Church.

When her father died, she just

became completely disillusioned.

She left and joined a gang

called Satan's Rifle.

Basically a bunch of delinquent

kids who had defected from the

Knights of the Benedictine seal.

Really into the occult.

Anything that superficially

insulted the order.

And he wants you

to forgive her for that.

[Jitni] No. That wasn't the half

of it. Even then, she was still

my sister. She always will be.

[Billiard] So it was something

bigger than that?

[Jitni] Like I said,

Satan's rifle

was buried in the occult.

Obsessed with

ritualistic magic.

This is the part

I don't like talking about.

I don't understand.

Enki was directly responsible

for my... affliction.

Affliction?

A demonic affliction.

Wait... What, like...

Like you're possessed?

We were never completely sure

how to categorize it.

Sometimes its possession.

We, who's we?

There was a priest who

was trying to liberate me.

He seemed to think that cutting

off contact with Enki was

the first step to my recovery.

Wow.

I took his advice.

Enki and I have been

estranged ever since.

Up until now anyway...

I guess we both have

a few things

to forgive each other for.

I never stopped loving her.

I told you, you

wouldn't believe me.

I've heard stranger things.

Well, have you heard about

a way to find Doctor Elymas

because I'm completely

out of ideas.

I think I might know

someone who can help.

May I join you, Mister Andros?

I see.

I see that the Knights trained

you to judge yourself harshly.

It would seem to be

their primary purpose.

To encourage a man to inspect

his own soul with such scrutiny

that he will inevitably

hate himself utterly.

But perhaps it is

more than that.

Yes... Perhaps this is not just

a scrutiny of yourself,

but a powerful jealousy

of another.

I know your story, Andros.

And I know his.

[playing guitar]

[Enki's father] Music and

Martial Arts are different

in their purposes,

but they share a principle.

The practice of these arts

both stress the attainment

of a supreme state.

The tuning of the instrument

as well as your understanding of

how to play it

are both essential.

The instrument has been tuned.

Now. . . play me a song!

[fighting and guitar music]

[intense guitar music]

[Elymas] I surmise that

ever since that day you

have coveted

Battle Jitni's undeserved gift

to such a degree that you

have grown to hate yourself.

So much perhaps to explain

why you feel this necessity

to mutilate your own body

in despisement of its weakness.

You wonder

how I could know such things?

A commitment to knowledge can

open the doors to many gifts.

I wonder... Are you willing

to make such a commitment?

What if you had the chance

to take for yourself

what you always deserved?

To surpass not only

Battle Jitni's power,

but also that

of the greatest creatures

to have had the blessing or

the curse to walk the earth.

Andros...

What if I could make

you a demigod?

You cannot allow yourself to be

crippled by what happened.

I can't just ignore it.

[Ekni's father]

Forgive yourself.

Does that take away

the consequences?

Is it that simple?

Is He that simple?

I didn't say that.

The universe is

far from simple.

All the less simple

is its creator.

Didn't you see what I did?

You cannot change

what you did yesterday.

But the world may depend

on what you do today.

Is this my fault?

These are my hands aren't they?

What that spirit does

with your hands

when he possesses you

is out of your control.

Stop blaming yourself.

What I can tell you is that

his ultimate defeat

must start with a decision.

He lays siege to your heart.

I know you can't outsmart him.

That you can't resist him

day in and day out.

But ultimately

he will be your subject.

Because there is

only one Spirit

to whom you must answer.

Hey!

I was able to talk Afterman

into letting us see her.

Oasis Reinberg. I'd like

to introduce you to Battle-

You need no introduction.

You are an expected pleasure.

You, however, Mister Billiard,

are merely predictable.

What do you need

from me this time?

Trevor Elymas.

Predictable.

We have to find him

as soon as possible.

And what do you want from me?

A location.

I know you couldn't

give me one before, but-

But I can give you one now.

You can?

He has been quite bold in

the time since your last visit.

He no longer hides

from my sight.

Oh. . . That's awesome. Can you-

[phone rings]

[phone rings again]

I am so sorry,

I have to take this.

I've been waiting to meet

you for so long.

You can't even imagine.

You can feel it, can't you?

My intentions. My motives.

They are only a dim light

shining through a curtain

to your eyes,

but not beyond your perception.

The world of human emotion is

like an ocean in which you swim.

The sinister drive of mankind

is laid bare before you

in all your waking hours.

You see it as a curse

and an affliction. . .

but you should accept it

for the blessing that it is.

But it is not your power.

You are not its source.

Though your logic serves you,

God is not the only one

who gives gifts, Jitni

Do you have any idea

who is dwelling within you.

Whom You are nothing without?

Abbadon.

The harbinger of

the final judgment of man.

The angel who will scatter

the dust that is humanity

and reconcile its sins.

The savior who will raise

a just world from

their scorched bones.

Why do you resist him?

Yours is the greatest honor.

Embrace him in all of his power

and glory and you will rule

the new world with me

at your side. . . forever.

Our destinies end

in the same place.

A kingdom modeled

after our love.

What'd I miss?

[metal grinding]

There is an essential point

that neither Church nor

acceptable science

would have us to know.

This is a tragedy, my boy.

A tragedy because that point
