Episode 15 - "Beginnings and Endings" - Finale

Obligatory Disclaimer: The characters of "Shoujo Kakumei Utena" belong to Saito Chiho, Be-Pa-Pas, etc.
Opening Theme: Rose is Rain
Scene: The sun is setting over Ohtori Gakuen and "The Group" (Sarah, Scott, Rio, Matt, Jessica, and Sean [grumbles...too many peoples to remember]) are gathered around the fountain featured in "Juri's Unfulfillment." Jessica bounces about in her usual genki, Wakaba-esque manner while Matt and Rio pour over an Eva H-doujinshi with Asuka and Rei on the cover. Sarah and Scott argue over who makes a better Ryoko: Sarah or Scott's koibito, Veronica. Samantha comes running up with a panicked look on her face and the pieced together letter in her hands.
BGM: A Hunch on the Look in the Eyes
Samantha: Minna! Look--[promptly trips over the cobbled walk and falls flat on her face with an audible splat. The letter floats from her hand and rests at Sarah's feet]
Sean: [glances down at her with an amused look] Heh, walk much, ne?
Samantha: [replies without moving from the ground] Hilarious. [quickly springs to her feet] It's already started! The letter! Look at the letter! [spazzes out]
Jessica: [peers curiously at her] Yare yare, I thought we told you to lay off the No-Doz, Caffeine Queen.
Sarah: [picks up the letter] It appears to be a letter from "Ends of the World," but I didn't think the Seitokai had such belliegerent attitudes towards dead trees...[holds it in front of her, examining the tape]
Scott: [takes the letter from Sarah and holds it up in a matter-of-factly manner] Well, that's probably because it was sent to Utena-san and you know how she feels about them. I'm not surprised that she tore it up, then.
Rio: [looks up] How can you be so sure it's Utena's? Maybe it's "that time of the month" for Juri or something.
Matt: [shudders at the mention of Juri] Please, that chick is *always* on the rag...[smirking]anyway, Scott, I thought you were the official word on Anshi, not Utena.
All: [sweatdrop]
Scott: Baka, they're called "episode transcripts." Ring a bell?
Samantha: [wakes up from her spectator stupor from watching this battle of wits] Bells? Shimatta! The duel called "Revolution" must be going on right now!
Sean and Jessica: [not being anime aficionados, they blink in confusion] And...? What does that have to do with us?
Sarah: Oi, when Utena-san brings the Revolution, it's only on a small scale throughout the academy. It could also alter *our* lives as well!
Scott: [comes to a realization] Hey, I've just come to a realization...
Rio: [blinks and pokes Scott's action cue] Um, yeah, that was kinda obvious--[a series of little earthquakes occur]
Samantha: [temperamental] Dude...I *know* everything's going to hell in a handbasket, but we just do not *need* to break the fourth wall right now!
Matt: [Izumi-like] Rio poked Scott's action cue...
Scott: [embarrassed] Oi...I mean, my Himemiya's going to be sacrificed unless we stop Akio.
Sarah: [smacks him upside the head] And glitch the continuity? Do you want us to be stuck here forever?
Scott: [hesitates] You're right...I'd never see Veronica again. I couldn't live without her...
Sarah: [turns from him to face everyone else] Glad you see it that way. Guess we can just wait it o--[hears footsteps pounding on the pavement behind her]
Jessica: [shouting] Scott, get your skinny ass back here!!
Samantha: [slaps a hand to her forhead in exasperation] That fool...he went to rescue Himemiya-san.
Sean: What about Veronica? I thought he loved *her*.
Samantha: Oh, he does, very much so. But he tends to consider Veronica and Himemiya-san to be the same. Symbolically, he's just out to rescue his girlfriend.
Matt: [muttering] Noble...a fool, but a noble one.
Scene: The top of the dueling arena. The duel named "Revolution" is already well into progress. Akio, in his princely attire, lounges next to the spirit of his former self, Dios. Utena, still weakened from being stabbed by Anshi, attempts to open the Rose Doors with her bare hands. Scott is already moving toward the Doors as well. Samantha and the others arrive a moment later in the gondola which has precariously begun to shake. The Million Swords of Hate hover over head menacingly.
BGM: Orpheus
Utena: [prying open the Rose Doors with great effort] Himemiya...you don't know...how happy I was...just being together with you... [the gates finally open to reveal a coffin emblazoned with the Rose Signet]
Scott: [breathing hard, he stops several yards away from Utena, watching the scene unfold] I...was supposed to be her Prince...this time...
Sean: Scott! Don't do it!
Anshi: [to Utena from inside the coffin] Who are you?
Utena: I came to save you.
Scott: [turns to see the rest of the group running from the gondola] W-what are you guys doing here? [the Swords, not knowing who to go after due to all the newcomers, go berserk. BGM: Ball of Death]
Anshi: But, you're a...
Utena: [tears running down her face] I came here to meet you. So don't be afraid of the world where we'll meet.
Jessica: [looks up to see the Swords circling their group] Guys...now would probably be the best time to get the *hell* out of he--[the Swords take on crazed directions, one stabbing her in the ribcage]
Rio: [screams] Jess! [kneels next to the fallen girl] Jess, Jess! C'mon, we gotta go! [a Sword falls from directly above, but Rio only dodges part of it. It pinions her shoulder to the floor of the Arena]
Anshi: [slight recognition appears on her face] Utena...sama..?
Utena: Himemiya...we finally meet...
Scott: [disbelieving] No... [stumbles backwards and begins to fall when a Sword emerges from the floor impaling him through the back] Veronica...
Samantha: [cursing like a sailor all the while chasing *after* the Swords] ...Get back here, you cowardly excuses for weapons! [hearing this, the Swords turn on her] Ara...eep. [she raises her hands in front of her as if to hold them off, but a Sword zips by, deeply slitting her wrists. She gazes down at them with a wry look of amusement] Heh...somehow I'm not the least bit surprised...
Utena: Take my hand! Come on, Himemiya!
Anshi: You don't understand! If you don't run quickly...
Sarah: [panics] Okay, back to the elevator! Run! [she, Sean, and Matt dash for the gondola, but it's already fallen like most of the Arena is starting to do]
Sean: Damn it, I wish Sami'd leave me *out* of her crazed fan fictions next time--[his words are cut off (yeah, bad pun, I know) as one of the Swords slices the tendons in his heels, rendering him immobile]
Matt: Sean! [he and Sarah try to drag Sean with them, leaving a trail of blood behind them. As he lifts Sean up, another of the Swords gouges him through the throat]
Sarah: [gasping] U-Utena-san, watch out! [the Swords begin their final descent toward Utena, but one catches her in the stomach on the way by]
Utena: [shouting] Himemiya! Hurry, take my hand! Someday...someday the two of us...[the coffin and Anshi disappear into the blackness below while Utena kneels on the broken platform sobbing] I really...couldn't become a Prince...
Jessica: **But you are...**
Rio: **...a true Prince...**
Scott: **...you saved Himemiya...**
Samantha: **...her soul, at least...**
Sean: **...that's something...**
Matt: **...to be proud of...**
Sarah: **...Utena-san...**
Utena: I'm sorry, Himemiya. Sorry for ending up just a make-believe Prince...
[the Million Swords of Hate target Utena and head straight for her] Forgive me... [the bodies of the others slowly fade away as the Sowrds engulf Utena]
Scene: Outside the AMF Wonder Bowl center back in the real world, San Antonio, Texas. Our brave (?) heroes (???) lie on the porch in a daze, just waking up from something, apparently. Samantha is the first to recover, albeit slowly.
BGM: Girls After School
Samantha: [eyes focus to her surroundings and she sits up with start] The hell?! W-what just happened? [the others eventually come around]
Sean: [looks himself over] Hey, I'm still alive! Ha ha!
Jessica: [groggily] Ugh...did anyone get the number of that bus..?
Matt: [still lying on the ground with his eyes closed] Hehe...you said "get..."
Rio: [puts a hand to her head] If I wasn't so sore, I'd hit you, ecchi...
Veronica: [comes charging out the automatic doors from inside] Where the *hell* have you guys been? I've been looking all over for you!
Sarah: [stands up with the rest of them and brushes herself off] Ara, gomen. How long were we gone?
Veronica: 'Bout five minutes, but when I lose seven of the loudest and most perverted people on the planet in a nearly deserted bowling alley, that tends to make me wonder.
Scott: [in a high-pitched, squeaky voice] Cutey! You're really here! [dips her and kisses her romantically]
Veronica: [is slightly thrown off by the kiss] Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but damn, I want whatever it is that you're smoking! [the group heads back inside with Samantha lagging behind]
Samantha: [looks down at her wrists only to see two fresh horizontal scars across the veins] **Whatever happened to Utena, I wonder? Did we affect their continuity so much that...no, that's impossible. A revolution, though? Could it have been?** [a cherry red convertible with white leather interior exits the parking lot. A pink-haired girl is driving while a girl with wavy violet hair sits next to her. Samantha smiles to herself and heads back inside to finish her game. BGM: Nostalgia of Diversion]
Closing Theme: Kaze mo, Sora mo, Kitto
Author's Notes: At last, the final episode is up! Hooray!! Really, the only reason I managed to write this is from all the nice people who reviewed my fic and wanted more. What can I say, I felt obligated. And yeah, it *is* rather violent, but that's what happens when you watch horror films from age 4. Anyhoo, to those of you who have *seen* the fourth season, it might seem a little skewed. I ordered the last several episodes in March, but I still haven't received them...damn NoAnime distributors. And just to let you know, all of the dialogue between Utena and Anshi is directly from episode 39, so...just thought I'd let ya'll know. And on a blatant endorsement note: go check out Scott's Digimon fan fic. It's also a self-insert and damn funny at that. He's listed as RyokoNoKoibito, by the way...just steer clear of episode 4...he was mean to me *pouts* As always, reviews, flames, MSTs, etc. are greatly appreciated!
