The Streets of London

Store owner: Thank you for dropping by (our store)!




Lady: I’m not sure if photograph taken is pretty.

Gentlemen: Haha, don’t worry. How can the wife whom has brought much pride to me not be photographed prettily?

Lady: Ahh~ (blushes) I’m very happy (to hear that)!

Grell: The end of London is like the desperate screaming of a dying person.

Lady: (smiles)

Grell: Pain like like the fragrance of fire.

Woman is burnt

Lady: (screams in terror)

Gentleman: Elly!

Lady: (screams in terror)




Gentleman: Elly! (fans frantically trying to extinguish the flames) Aurgh!

Gentleman: Elly!




Gentleman: Elly…(tears streams down his cheeks)



All that was left of Elly was her charred left heels.

Grell: Mmhh! (happy tone) I’m coming, I’m coming, I shall come now. The angel shall descend!

In Ciel’s Mansion

Sebastian: For today’s afternoon tea, I have prepared Bamboo Green Tea and Magnolia Snow Jelly.

Ciel: The taste is just average.

Sebastian: Are you satisfied with it? Then, your job after finishing your meal…



Ciel: What is it?

Sebastian: A case of a burned body?

Sebastian: That incident that occurred in London on a regular basis. Someone died last night too.

Ciel: Hmm, Her Majesty the Queen is deeply pained by the nights which had people living in constant fear.

Sebastian: How should we settle this?

Sebastian: (reads from the letter) ‘The chilling incident has occurred once more. This time, I shall entrust this case’s “Pawn” and “Behind the screens” to you.’ (ends off letter)

Sebastian: What does this mean?

Ciel: Is it referring to similar cases that happened in the past?

Sebastian: And this, “Behind the screens”, what does it refer to?

Ciel: I do not understand this. No, I should say that I have completely no understanding of this.

Ciel: It is useless to just think about it. We should first consider how to remove the burden from the Queen’s heart. Let’s set off for London.

Sebastian: I understand.

Ciel: And also, please do not tell Madam Red our operations this time. This is the kind of case that that woman likes. Her participation would lead to much trouble for us.

Sebastian: (smirks) That would not be a problem.

_______________________________________________________



In the carriage

Ciel: The past of the Phantomhive’s that I am not aware of…

Sebastian: This is only natural. Before Young Master succeeded the head of the Phantomhive household, you are already being taken care by the Phantomhive household.


(The tregedy on Ciel's tenth birthday)

Ciel: However, this is not something that I had wished for. This case which my Father had been entrusted with, if I were to settle it as the new Master of the Household, this hearsay will be spread in the underworld.

Ciel: That group of villains will definitely take actions.

Sebastian: Do you intend to become a bait?




Sebastian looked at Ciel while Ciel averted his gaze and clutched on the skull of his cane.

Ciel: Those that had destroyed my dignity, belittled my lineage, I will lure them out, one by one and give them the retribution that they deserve. I will resort to despicable means (if required)

Sebastian: What if those people are already corpses?

Ciel: Do you still need to ask? I will slice open those rotting flesh and let the truth be revealed. That’s all.

Sebastian: This is the Master that I know of.

____________________________________________




The screen focused on a charred area where Elly had perished there.

Edward Aberline: It is indeed the same as what the rumours had said, it was the excess consumption of alcohol that caused the burning of natural cause.

Scotland: How can you naively believe rumours? Go search for evidence.

Edward Aberline: Alright, please trust me on this. Let’s set off now.

The team of officers (Aberline and 4 other police) dispatch, leaving Scotland Yard to continue with his examination in the cordoned area, guarded by a neat line of other police.

Scotland: Hmm (examining the scorch mark)

Ciel: It seems like your progress is rather unsmooth, Officer Scotland.

Scotland: Hump (Turns around) Ciel Phantomhive!

Ciel was seen with Sebastian. Ciel grinned and held out a wax-sealed letter.

Ciel: Give me the information on the search.

Ciel walks towards Scotland.




Scotland: There is no progress at all.

Ciel: What is the difference between this and the cases previously?

Scotland: (shocked) *gasp*

Ciel: This had happened before, am I right? Similar cases.

Scotland: (sigh) So you know about that.

Ciel: I just found out. It seems to be the case then.

Scotland: !!! (shocked and annoyed)

Ciel: Let me take a look at the evidence present.

Scotland: There was nothing left behind.

Ciel: What?

Scotland: Even if there is, I would not let you take a look.

Ciel: (thinking) There was no evidence left behind.

Scotland: The trigger of the case, criminal and the connections between the previous cases is the responsibility of us, the London Police, to investigate clearly. There is no place for you in this.

Ciel: Ha! (smirks) I hope so. Let’s go, Sebastian.

Ciel turned around.

Ciel: Oh!

Sebastian: Ah! (amazed and touched expression)

A grey mother cat was seen with her 3 kittens, a while, a dark grey and a brown kitten. Sebastian was kneeling on one kneel beside them.

Scotland: ohh (stunned)

Sebastian: Not a single stain of filth, the pure and clean pupils…

White cream kitten: Meow Meow!

Brown Kitten: (shakes tail)

Sebastian: A tail that makes one feels quite so noble.

Grey Kitten: Pawing at Mummy cat.

Sebastian: The soft, pink meat balls (referring to the paw pads)

Ciel: Sigh. (placed his hand over his forehead)

Scotland did not look amused. Edward Aberline ran up to Scotland.

Edward Aberline: Officer, we still are unable to find useful evidence.

Sebastian was suddenly alert and stood up. He placed his right hand over his chest and apologized.

Sebastian: I am sorry, young master. It’s just that the kittens are too adorable that I accidentally…

Ciel: (grumpy) Come along, Catard (Cat + Idiot) Cat Idiot

Both Aberline and Scotland watched after Ciel as he walked off.

Edward Aberline: That is..?

Scotland: Yes, he has return back to London, the Queen’s watchdog.

Edward Aberline: The Queen’s watchdog? That means he is….(sudden realization)

In the carriage

Sebastian: What should we do next?

Ciel: If the police can’t work out, then we can only go there.

Signboard: Under taker

Undertaker: BWAHAHAHA! (Laughter)

The signboard dropped after the earthquake like tremble.

Sebastian: (smug look) Ah, this is to be expected of Gurete Buredo (what is this???) (raises his hand) But so what if it is so?

Undertaker laughed and slid off the coffin

Sebastian: (bending down to Ciel with his hand akimbo) I’m unable to continue this with you.

Undertaker climbed back up again.

Sebastian: Thank you for viewing.

Undertaker: That was awesome. I never thought that I can hear such perfect crosstalk (a traditional Chinese comedic monologue or dialogue) in this country. And with such superior skills.

Ciel: (unpleased) This is just a fool talking to himself.

Undertaker grabbed hold of Ciel making Ciel stunned for a moment.

Undertaker: Show me a good performance. (smiles) I will follow the rules too.

The Undertaker placed a squarish glass bottle with grey sand on the wooden table. (check out his black long nails, Sebastian, are you envious?

Ciel: I want know about the incident of the burnings.

Undertaker: (takes the bottle) So as to say, it is this then, Earl.

Undertaker shakes the bottle in front of him while Ciel flinched. (which means to say that grey sand is Elly’s ashes)

Undertaker: This belongs to the victim, collected from the scene of crime. Due to the flames being too intense, all that was left of her were ashes.

Undertaker tossed the bottle around before throwing it to Ciel who caught it in his hands. Ciel looked at the bottle which contains the sparkling ashes.

____________________________________________________________

Elly’s funeral

A brown coffin laid on the ground, placed inside was a white left heels on a grey cushion, surrounded by white Lilies. Elly’s husband stood over the coffin, holding his top hat in his bandaged hands as a result of him trying to rescue her the day before. Many other mourners were beside him. The cover of the coffin was placed over the case to prepare for her burial. Sebastian and Ciel were seen attending the funeral too.

Sebastian: Young Master.

Something triggered their interest as Ciel and Sebastian turned to their right. A plump, elderly woman dressed in white long sleeve top and black skirt, holding an umbrella is seen approaching them with a bespectacled gentleman in black, who held a black bag.

Gentlemen (Turner): I am the photo gallery’s Turner. (タナ　ＴＡＮＡ)

The gentlemen in front turned around when they hear his voice. Turner and the elderly lady bowed.

Turner: This incident has indeed brought much grief to our hearts.

Turner passed the hat to the lady and opens his coat, revealing a photo frame.

Turner: I have brought the photograph that the lady last took. (passes the photo frame to the mourners)

(random) Lady: Such a beautiful lady, yet…

Elly’s husband saw the photograph and tears rolled down his cheeks once more.

Elderly lady: To have triggered your sadness once more, I’m sorry.

Tana passed the photo frame to Elly’s husband but unfortunately the photo frame dropped and the glass cover smashed into broken pieces.

Elderly lady: Really, such beauty.

Turner and the elderly lady walks pass Ciel and Sebastian, who were beside a tree, but Ciel noticed that some sparkles has trailed behind the elderly lady. Ciel is suspicious and turns to face Sebastian, who narrowed his eyes and gave a knowing smile.

_________________________________________

Ciel’s Mansion

Sebastian: (knocking) Sorry to disturb.

Ciel was adjusting his blue ribbon, seated at his study desk.

Sebastian: The substance found on the remains and the substance obtained from the bodies two people from the photo gallery has identical composition. (holds out a test tube with the grey substance) It is Magnesium Oxide. Using the flash when taking photographs, it produces this is the substance that was left behind after magnesium has been burnt.

Ciel: (narrows his eyes) Taking photos…?

Sebastian: According to the information on the imported goods that was obtained from Lau….

______________________________________
Flash back

Lau is on the telephone

Lau: How sharp, Mr Butler. Indeed, the date on imported goods these few days had been a large amount of magnesium. (flips book) The destination of the goods is London’s photo gallery. A large ship vessel of magnesium, and the quantity sure is not little.

Lau put away his book while fondling with Ran Mao’s thigh.

Lau: Oh yes, what are you guys investigating on?

__________________________________________

End of Flash Back

Ciel: If it is to be used as the flash for taking photography, its quantity is far too much.

Sebastian: Yes, and also the similarity between the victims (pulls out a letter from within his coat) is that the ladies implicated in this burning incident have all taken their wedding anniversary photos here in the past few days.

Sebastian: All, at that place

Ciel: (holding a revolver) Tana’s photo gallery?

Ciel loaded his revolver and put it in his right pocket. He stood up and made his way to the door.

Ciel: We’ll set off now, that husband and wife couple knows the truth of these incidents

Sebastian: I’ll obey your commands.

______________________________________

Turner’s Place (photo gallery)

Elderly lady: (singing) Do da li li, do di did a

Turner: What is it?

Elderly lady: Ah, what an ugly face.

__________________________________________

Flash back

A beautiful blonde lady is shown smiling at the camera.

In a photography studio, an orange haired lady in pink gown was posing with her partner in white suit, holding a bouquet of flower on his right. A man, the photography is shouting commands to the couple while a lady in white and black is standing on the left of the room. The lady proceeded to walk to the couple

_______________________________________________________

End of Flash Back

Elderly lady: It is all because I was married you, the love that was like the burning flames that is supposed to be my bliss which I ought to have as a woman, I gave them all up. I am no longer willing to take photographs of blessed ladies.

Elderly lady pressed the shutter and the man, Turner, dissolved in flames while her evil laughter is heard.

Elderly: HAHAHA! Now it is my turn receive my due happiness!

The elderly lady ran off into the streets while her husband, Turner collapsed on the ground. She continued singing and tossing the Magnesium onto the streets. A carriage arrives and Sebastian and Ciel runs off after her.

Ciel: That woman is….

Sebastian: The wife of Tana the photographer.

Elderly lady: Happiness, where is happiness?

She continued tossing the magnesium before pressing the shutter such that explosions are resulted, at a close distance to the Earl and his butler. Sebastian leapt forwards to prevent Ciel from being injured.

Sebastian: Young Master!

Ciel: That camera is an ignition device. Catch her, Sebastian!

Sebastian: (bows) Yes, my lord.

Elderly lady continues singing and tossing Magnesium while spinning in circles. Sebastian chases after her, with Ciel behind, into an alley.
Grell appears and brought down his chainsaw at Sebastian.

Ciel looked at Grell with trauma in his eyes. An image of the backview of Madam Red materialized.

Ciel: Red…something I had once seen before…red…

An explosion occurred at one of the apartments and jolted Ciel out of his memories.

Ciel: Ah!

(electrical music plays in the background)

Sebastian: You are… (using his cutlery, he was able to defend against Grell)

Grell: It’s been a long time since we’ve met.

_______________________________________________________


Intermission: The Hangman

_______________________________________________________

Alley

Sebastian: Were you the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, Grell?

Grell: The only string I am holding onto, is piece of red string that connects to Sebastian!

Sebastian dodged away while Grell fantasies. Sebastian kicked him in the head.

Grell: (holding on to his head) That’s too much! Don’t be so rough~

Sebastian: (arranges his coat) You are the one who started it.

Grell: Only because I was so excited that I could not contain it any much longer! I am also chasing after that fat lady.

Sebastian: You too…

Ciel: Do you know this weird person?

Sebastian: He is the one who reaps the existence the dead’s soul, a death god.

Ciel: A death god? To think that such a person like you can exist.

Grell: Hmm, hmmm, hmmm (posing ^^ and checking out Sebastian and Ciel)

Sebastian: You are here to collect the souls of the deceased involved in this burning incident, no?

Grell turns to Sebastian (with a glow in his eyes…)

Grell: But, since I’ve met Sebastian, job can be put aside for now. (pokes Sebastian in the chest). Next, we shall begin our journey of dangerous love.

Sebastian moved aside and Grell fell down. Another explosion was heard and Ciel was getting irritated by Grell.

Ciel: There is no time to handle this creature, let’s go.

Grell continued trying to catch Sebastian, turning in circles.

Sebastian: Yes.

Grell fell down after Sebastian’s lastest evasion :D

Ciel runs through the burning streets while Sebastian follows but unfortunately Grell blocked his way once more.

Grell: (with open arms) If you want to embrace me, then overcome this path of fire.

Sebastian: (steps on Grell) Excuse me. (runs off)

Grell: (rolls back on his front): Wait for me!! Sebastian!!!

______________________________________________________________________

The city of London was thrown in a panic and everyone was running helter-skelter.

Scotland: Let the townsfolk seek shelter at the windward area!

Aberline: Yes!

Sebastian: This really is a city so vulnerable to being set on flames.

Person 1: AHHH!!! (being set on flames)

Person 2: AHHH!! IT”S SO HOT!!!! (rolls in agony)

The elderly lady turned to one man and snaps a shot of him, promptly setting him on fire.

Sebastian: Target found. (leaps over the corpse)

Sebastian chased the lady to the alley only to find that she was nowhere to be seen.

Grell: (happy tone) Ahh~ She escaped.

Sebastian: (smiles) Mr Grell, don’t you have to do your work?

Grell: (throws flirtatious look) To be the hunter that hunts for your love, that is my job ~ (love signs appear) Besides, there is only one soul that I yearn to reap.

Sebastian: Only one?

Grell: Mhmm (agrees) Margaret Tana. As of midnight 00 05, after deploying the same tactics to kill masses of people, she dies of self inflicted burns. (holding onto the death note) According to this book of soul script, the only soul that I need to reap is this.

Sebastian: How about the people who died in the fires?

Grell: The people who are killed by that woman’s fire, had their souls being burned completely.

Sebastian turned away with a dark look while Grell continued his flirtatious look.

Music plays on at the scene of the Big Ben

A group of police officers were seen and Ciel appeared trying to find something or someone.

Ciel: Where did she go?

Some sparkles caught his eye and he raised his head, and saw the lady sprinkling down the Magnesium powder from the Big Ben.

Ciel: Does she plan to burn everything?

Ciel runs into the building and up the stairs only to have an explosion near the window throw him against the wall. He seemed to have slight injuries and a glass shard flew past him. Ciel hurried up the stairs, not caring for the hat and cane he dropped on the floor.

Margaret (Elderly lady); Turn into happiness, turn into happiness! (pours barrels and barrels or magnesium)

A tap on the floor prompted her to look up. Ciel held his revolver at Margaret.

Ciel: It’s time you put a stop to this.

Margaret: (sudden anger) Are you also here to obstruct me? To obstruct my happiness?

Ciel: Do you think that by doing so, these can become happiness?

Margaret was now very agitated. She takes out her camera, ready to press the shutter on Ciel.

Margaret: Yes, it can! Because that person said so.

Ciel: Ah (taken aback)

_____________________________________

Another explosion occurs at the top of the Big Ben

Sebastian and Grell runs towards the Big Ben.

Sebastian: Young Master!

Ciel was seen to be forced backwards by Margaret on the top of Big Ben.

Grell: That pig! When did she run up there?

________________________________________________

At Big Ben

Sparkles are seen on Ciel and he almost was caught in the explosion if not for the fact that he managed to dodge in time. Ciel fell and looked back to see Margaret approaching him.

Margaret: A brat like you will never understand it, you will never understand the unhappiness that resulted from me marrying a man I do not like.

Ciel is forced into the pillar with only his revolver as a weapon.

Margaret: I wish to be with an outstanding man and have a love that is like leaping flames. Those who dare to obstruct me, will all have to be burnt to death!

Margaret walk closer and closer to Ciel. Ciel thought for a moment before laughing out loud.

Ciel: Ah Hahaha!

Margaret: Gasp

Ciel: How hideous. If you think that it is tragic, then rebel against it. If your heart is filled with regrets, then move onwards. The you who only laments about the unfortunates you have, cannot even be called a pig.
____________________________________________________

Sebastian

Sebastian: Giving up on the future, losing the dreams, the countless of scars that were left by the torments of hopelessness, can still be cast aside and battle it out with reality. Never losing the elegance of himself. Young master, this is the soul that I yearn to devour.

___________________________________

Margaret and Ciel

Margaret: Pig..pi—pigg…. You said that I am a pig!?!?!?! (fumbled with camera)

___________________________________

Sebastian and Grell

Sebastian: (pulls on gloves) Now then, we have to treasure our time.

Grell: Huh?

Sebastian: That lady will die of self inflicted burns at 00 05, isn’t so?

Grell: Hold on a second, what are you trying to do?

Sebastian: Trying to catch that woman. My Young Master also ordered me to do so too.

Grell: There’s already no time left.

Sebastian: As the butler of the Phantomhive household, how can it do if I cannot even accomplish this small mission?

Sebastian held out a hand.

Sebastian: Hold on then, Grell.

Grell: (elated) Eh?? Why choose me?

Sebastian: To convince the Young master to be a model, such photography skills is still lacking. (Grell’s hopeful face) But if Mr Grell was to be the photography model, a pretty good photo might be produced.

Grell is in paradise now ^^ Love icons appears beside him as Grell blush in delight.

Grell: (spins) I will give you my sexy photograph personally ~ (sparkles)

____________________________________________________________________

Big Ben, an explosion once more (poor Big Ben, I wonder how many explosion it had withstand)

Margaret: (sprinkling powder) Those who dare say that I am a pig, no matter if they are just brats or adults, they all have to be burnt!

Margaret throws the container to the floor and the floor burst into flames behind Ciel (looks like Margaret has bad aiming skills, old age?). The impact caused Ciel’s eye patch to be loose and slip from his eye to the floor.

Ciel: How long more do you intend to play until? (The eye with the contract lights up) Come, Sebastian!

_______________________________________________________


From a corner of London…..
Sebastian: Yes, my lord

_______________________________________________________

Margaret: What are you muttering about? (realizes something when she heard a fizzling sound) Eh? (walks to the balcony)

Sebastian and Grell scaled the Big Ben vertically!

Margaret: What is this?

Ciel: My Household’s Butler. (and a ) Weird person.

Grell: No matter what, I still am a death god!

Margaret: Don’t come and obstruct me! (tosses the barrel of Magnesium and snaps a shot)

Grell appeared unscathed and rushed up at the same speed unaffected. Margaret became more desperate and kept pressing the shutter but to no avail. Ciel glanced out of the balcony.

Ciel: To think you used a death god as bait, demon.

Grell jumped up from the balcony and onto the horizontal floor of the Big Ben. The explosion continued from the frantic Margaret.

Grell: Whenever one is being photographed, he should sit there honestly, strike a pose and smile sweetly. (Grell demonstates!) For example, like the red coloured fruit. (claps hand) It’s coming out, it’s coming out! Like the spring water that is flowing out! The hot passion of one is overflowing! (prances around) That’s right, the me now is that ripened fruit. The mangosteen god of the death god world.

Sebastian: It really makes me feel like taking a bite out of you (omg…did he really say that?!?! Sebastian, you….!!) (Licks his hand >3)

Margaret: Eh?!

Margaret turns around to see Sebastian standing behind her. Grell goes on to send air kisses and saying “Purinzu!”

Ciel: You’re slow.

Sebastian: I apologise for that. (Kneels down)

Margaret: I want you to burn!

Sebastian glared sideways and proceeds to kick Margaret.

Margaret: It can’t be!

Sebastian: (arranging coat) As long as it is Young Master’s orders, this little thing is nothing.

Margaret: (terrified) Who are you people?!

Sebastian: (smiles) I am only one hell of a butler / I am a demon and a butler.

Grell: I am a deathgod as well as a photographer.

Ciel: (walks to Margaret) Spill all that you know.

Margaret: (collapse to the ground) Just do this, it would be enough, that’s what that person instructed. This way, the outstanding gentlemen would fall in love with me. (crying)

Sebastian: That person?

Sparkles appeared around Margaret.

Margaret: The person who has a pair of golden eyes.

Margaret dissolved into flames.

Grell: How can this be possible? This woman’s soul has actually begun igniting?

Margaret: The love that is like leaping flames…..happiness!!!!!

Ciel: Wait! Wait!

Sebastian: (grabs Ciel back) Young Master!

Explosion.
__________________________________________________________

Sebastian: (carrying Ciel) Young master, you are not hurt, are you? (lands at ground level)

Ciel: I’m fine.

__________________________________________________________

Grell: These are all lies! Even the soul that I was supposed to reap has been burnt! This is not possible! Definitely not!

Grell ran off to Sebastian.

Grell: I have to report to William, so I shall use this photograph as evidence! (holds a camera in his hands)

A snapshot of Sebastian and Grell appears.

Grell: Next time let us be photographed in the night too, Sebastian!

Grell: Bye Bye! (disappears)

Sebastian turns to Ciel

Sebastian: Young master, even though you commanded that I was to capture that woman but….

Sebastian revealed the ashes in his hand (Margaret’s).

Ciel: Everything is burnt.

The wind carried the ashes away.

Ciel: A woman who started killing viciously and crazily due to her insatiable appetite, I’ll just have to report this to the Queen then. Sigh

Sebastian: For the sake of being loved, just because of such a though, she is capable of doing such things. Humans….

Ciel: Really, it’s such a waste of efforts. For that kind of shapeless and meaningless love.

Sebastian: It’s ridiculous.

Ciel: Yes, it is ridiculous. (bends down to pick up eye patch) However, not everything was burnt away. (turns to Sebastian) Go research on the inside story. In this case, we might be able to see some kind of trend.
Sebastian: (kneels down) Yes.

Outside Ciel’s mansion, it was raining.

Sebastian: Young Master. Young master.

Ciel: (stirs) em?

Ciel opened his eyes to see Sebastian with the candle lights in his hands.

Sebastian: Sorry to disturb your sleep.

Ciel: (sits up) What have you found out?

Sebastian: On the Museum’s bookshelf, I found a similar piece of Literature. (hands over the book to Ciel) Actually, before the burning incident of the people, Her Majesty the Queen has an authority action under her control. This is unrelated to the Phantomhive but they are specifically in charge of dealing with the aftermath of the nobilities operations.

Ciel: Specifically in charge of dealing? The police are unwilling to provide evidence, is this also the reason?

Screen moves to the Trancy Household where Claude is cleaning the dinner table

Sebastian: Although the Head of the Trancy Household has died three years ago, but now his descendant has succeeded the family property. His is called Earl Trancy.

Ciel: Earl Trancy?

The Streets of London

Store owner: Thank you for dropping by (our store)!




Lady: I’m not sure if photograph taken is pretty.

Gentlemen: Haha, don’t worry. How can the wife whom has brought much pride to me not be photographed prettily?

Grell: The end of London is like the desperate screaming of a dying person.

Lady: (smiles)

Grell: Pain like like the fragrance of fire.

Lady: (screams in terror)

Gentleman: Elly!

Lady: (screams in terror)




Gentleman: Elly! (fans frantically trying to extinguish the flames) Aurgh!

Gentleman: Elly!




Gentleman: Elly…(tears streams down his cheeks)



All that was left of Elly was her charred left heels.

Grell: Mmhh! (happy tone) I’m coming, I’m coming, I shall come now. The angel shall descend!

Scotland: Hump (Turns around) Ciel Phantomhive!

Ciel was seen with Sebastian. Ciel grinned and held out a wax-sealed letter.

Ciel: Give me the information on the search.

Ciel walks towards Scotland.




Scotland: There is no progress at all.

Ciel: What is the difference between this and the cases previously?

Scotland: (shocked) *gasp*

Ciel: This had happened before, am I right? Similar cases.

Scotland: (sigh) So you know about that.

Ciel: Ha! (smirks) I hope so. Let’s go, Sebastian.

Ciel turned around.

Ciel: Oh!

Sebastian: Ah! (amazed and touched expression)

A grey mother cat was seen with her 3 kittens, a while, a dark grey and a brown kitten. Sebastian was kneeling on one kneel beside them.

Scotland: ohh (stunned)

Sebastian: Not a single stain of filth, the pure and clean pupils…

White cream kitten: Meow Meow!

Brown Kitten: (shakes tail)

Sebastian: A tail that makes one feels quite so noble.

Grey Kitten: Pawing at Mummy cat.

Sebastian: The soft, pink meat balls (referring to the paw pads)

Ciel: Sigh. (placed his hand over his forehead)

Scotland did not look amused. Edward Aberline ran up to Scotland.

Edward Aberline: Officer, we still are unable to find useful evidence.

Sebastian was suddenly alert and stood up. He placed his right hand over his chest and apologized.

Sebastian: I am sorry, young master. It’s just that the kittens are too adorable that I accidentally…

Ciel: (grumpy) Come along, Catard (Cat + Idiot) Cat Idiot

Both Aberline and Scotland watched after Ciel as he walked off.

Edward Aberline: That is..?

Scotland: Yes, he has return back to London, the Queen’s watchdog.

Edward Aberline: The Queen’s watchdog? That means he is….(sudden realization)

In the carriage

Sebastian: What should we do next?

Ciel: If the police can’t work out, then we can only go there.

Signboard: Under taker

Undertaker: BWAHAHAHA! (Laughter)

The signboard dropped after the earthquake like tremble.

Sebastian: (smug look) Ah, this is to be expected of Gurete Buredo (what is this???) (raises his hand) But so what if it is so?

Undertaker laughed and slid off the coffin

Sebastian: (bending down to Ciel with his hand akimbo) I’m unable to continue this with you.

Undertaker climbed back up again.

Sebastian: Thank you for viewing.

Undertaker: That was awesome. I never thought that I can hear such perfect crosstalk (a traditional Chinese comedic monologue or dialogue) in this country. And with such superior skills.

Ciel: (unpleased) This is just a fool talking to himself.

Undertaker grabbed hold of Ciel making Ciel stunned for a moment.

Undertaker: Show me a good performance. (smiles) I will follow the rules too.

The Undertaker placed a squarish glass bottle with grey sand on the wooden table. (check out his black long nails, Sebastian, are you envious?

Ciel: I want know about the incident of the burnings.

Undertaker: (takes the bottle) So as to say, it is this then, Earl.

Undertaker shakes the bottle in front of him while Ciel flinched. (which means to say that grey sand is Elly’s ashes)

Undertaker: This belongs to the victim, collected from the scene of crime. Due to the flames being too intense, all that was left of her were ashes.

Undertaker tossed the bottle around before throwing it to Ciel who caught it in his hands. Ciel looked at the bottle which contains the sparkling ashes.

____________________________________________________________

Elly’s funeral

A brown coffin laid on the ground, placed inside was a white left heels on a grey cushion, surrounded by white Lilies. Elly’s husband stood over the coffin, holding his top hat in his bandaged hands as a result of him trying to rescue her the day before. Many other mourners were beside him. The cover of the coffin was placed over the case to prepare for her burial. Sebastian and Ciel were seen attending the funeral too.

Sebastian: Young Master.

Something triggered their interest as Ciel and Sebastian turned to their right. A plump, elderly woman dressed in white long sleeve top and black skirt, holding an umbrella is seen approaching them with a bespectacled gentleman in black, who held a black bag.

Gentlemen (Turner): I am the photo gallery’s Turner. (タナ　ＴＡＮＡ)

The gentlemen in front turned around when they hear his voice. Turner and the elderly lady bowed.

Turner: This incident has indeed brought much grief to our hearts.

Turner passed the hat to the lady and opens his coat, revealing a photo frame.

Turner: I have brought the photograph that the lady last took. (passes the photo frame to the mourners)

(random) Lady: Such a beautiful lady, yet…

Elly’s husband saw the photograph and tears rolled down his cheeks once more.

Elderly lady: To have triggered your sadness once more, I’m sorry.

Tana passed the photo frame to Elly’s husband but unfortunately the photo frame dropped and the glass cover smashed into broken pieces.

Elderly lady: Really, such beauty.

Turner and the elderly lady walks pass Ciel and Sebastian, who were beside a tree, but Ciel noticed that some sparkles has trailed behind the elderly lady. Ciel is suspicious and turns to face Sebastian, who narrowed his eyes and gave a knowing smile.

_________________________________________

Ciel’s Mansion

Sebastian: (knocking) Sorry to disturb.

Ciel was adjusting his blue ribbon, seated at his study desk.

Sebastian: The substance found on the remains and the substance obtained from the bodies two people from the photo gallery has identical composition. (holds out a test tube with the grey substance) It is Magnesium Oxide. Using the flash when taking photographs, it produces this is the substance that was left behind after magnesium has been burnt.

Ciel: (narrows his eyes) Taking photos…?

Sebastian: According to the information on the imported goods that was obtained from Lau….

______________________________________
Flash back

Lau is on the telephone

Lau: How sharp, Mr Butler. Indeed, the date on imported goods these few days had been a large amount of magnesium. (flips book) The destination of the goods is London’s photo gallery. A large ship vessel of magnesium, and the quantity sure is not little.

Lau put away his book while fondling with Ran Mao’s thigh.

Lau: Oh yes, what are you guys investigating on?

__________________________________________

End of Flash Back

Ciel: If it is to be used as the flash for taking photography, its quantity is far too much.

Sebastian: Yes, and also the similarity between the victims (pulls out a letter from within his coat) is that the ladies implicated in this burning incident have all taken their wedding anniversary photos here in the past few days.

Sebastian: All, at that place

Ciel: (holding a revolver) Tana’s photo gallery?

Ciel loaded his revolver and put it in his right pocket. He stood up and made his way to the door.

Ciel: We’ll set off now, that husband and wife couple knows the truth of these incidents

Sebastian: I’ll obey your commands.

______________________________________

Turner’s Place (photo gallery)

Elderly lady: (singing) Do da li li, do di did a

Turner: What is it?

Elderly lady: Ah, what an ugly face.

__________________________________________

Flash back

A beautiful blonde lady is shown smiling at the camera.

In a photography studio, an orange haired lady in pink gown was posing with her partner in white suit, holding a bouquet of flower on his right. A man, the photography is shouting commands to the couple while a lady in white and black is standing on the left of the room. The lady proceeded to walk to the couple

_______________________________________________________

End of Flash Back

Elderly lady: It is all because I was married you, the love that was like the burning flames that is supposed to be my bliss which I ought to have as a woman, I gave them all up. I am no longer willing to take photographs of blessed ladies.

Elderly lady pressed the shutter and the man, Turner, dissolved in flames while her evil laughter is heard.

Elderly: HAHAHA! Now it is my turn receive my due happiness!

The elderly lady ran off into the streets while her husband, Turner collapsed on the ground. She continued singing and tossing the Magnesium onto the streets. A carriage arrives and Sebastian and Ciel runs off after her.

Ciel: That woman is….

Sebastian: The wife of Tana the photographer.

Elderly lady: Happiness, where is happiness?

She continued tossing the magnesium before pressing the shutter such that explosions are resulted, at a close distance to the Earl and his butler. Sebastian leapt forwards to prevent Ciel from being injured.

Sebastian: Young Master!

Ciel: That camera is an ignition device. Catch her, Sebastian!

Sebastian: (bows) Yes, my lord.

Elderly lady continues singing and tossing Magnesium while spinning in circles. Sebastian chases after her, with Ciel behind, into an alley.
Grell appears and brought down his chainsaw at Sebastian.

Ciel looked at Grell with trauma in his eyes. An image of the backview of Madam Red materialized.

Ciel: Red…something I had once seen before…red…

An explosion occurred at one of the apartments and jolted Ciel out of his memories.

Ciel: Ah!

(electrical music plays in the background)

Sebastian: You are… (using his cutlery, he was able to defend against Grell)

Grell: It’s been a long time since we’ve met.

_______________________________________________________


Intermission: The Hangman

_______________________________________________________

Alley

Sebastian: Were you the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, Grell?

Grell: The only string I am holding onto, is piece of red string that connects to Sebastian!

Sebastian dodged away while Grell fantasies. Sebastian kicked him in the head.

Grell: (holding on to his head) That’s too much! Don’t be so rough~

Sebastian: (arranges his coat) You are the one who started it.

Grell: Only because I was so excited that I could not contain it any much longer! I am also chasing after that fat lady.

Sebastian: You too…

Ciel: Do you know this weird person?

Sebastian: He is the one who reaps the existence the dead’s soul, a death god.

Ciel: A death god? To think that such a person like you can exist.

Grell: Hmm, hmmm, hmmm (posing ^^ and checking out Sebastian and Ciel)

Sebastian: You are here to collect the souls of the deceased involved in this burning incident, no?

Grell turns to Sebastian (with a glow in his eyes…)

Grell: But, since I’ve met Sebastian, job can be put aside for now. (pokes Sebastian in the chest). Next, we shall begin our journey of dangerous love.

Sebastian moved aside and Grell fell down. Another explosion was heard and Ciel was getting irritated by Grell.

Ciel: There is no time to handle this creature, let’s go.

Grell continued trying to catch Sebastian, turning in circles.

Sebastian: Yes.

Grell fell down after Sebastian’s lastest evasion :D

Ciel runs through the burning streets while Sebastian follows but unfortunately Grell blocked his way once more.

Grell: (with open arms) If you want to embrace me, then overcome this path of fire.

Sebastian: (steps on Grell) Excuse me. (runs off)

Grell: (rolls back on his front): Wait for me!! Sebastian!!!

______________________________________________________________________

The city of London was thrown in a panic and everyone was running helter-skelter.

Scotland: Let the townsfolk seek shelter at the windward area!

Aberline: Yes!

Sebastian: This really is a city so vulnerable to being set on flames.

Person 1: AHHH!!! (being set on flames)

Person 2: AHHH!! IT”S SO HOT!!!! (rolls in agony)

The elderly lady turned to one man and snaps a shot of him, promptly setting him on fire.

Sebastian: Target found. (leaps over the corpse)

Sebastian chased the lady to the alley only to find that she was nowhere to be seen.

Grell: (happy tone) Ahh~ She escaped.

Sebastian: (smiles) Mr Grell, don’t you have to do your work?

Grell: (throws flirtatious look) To be the hunter that hunts for your love, that is my job ~ (love signs appear) Besides, there is only one soul that I yearn to reap.

Sebastian: Only one?

Grell: Mhmm (agrees) Margaret Tana. As of midnight 00 05, after deploying the same tactics to kill masses of people, she dies of self inflicted burns. (holding onto the death note) According to this book of soul script, the only soul that I need to reap is this.

Sebastian: How about the people who died in the fires?

Grell: The people who are killed by that woman’s fire, had their souls being burned completely.

Sebastian turned away with a dark look while Grell continued his flirtatious look.

Music plays on at the scene of the Big Ben

A group of police officers were seen and Ciel appeared trying to find something or someone.

Ciel: Where did she go?

Some sparkles caught his eye and he raised his head, and saw the lady sprinkling down the Magnesium powder from the Big Ben.

Ciel: Does she plan to burn everything?

Ciel runs into the building and up the stairs only to have an explosion near the window throw him against the wall. He seemed to have slight injuries and a glass shard flew past him. Ciel hurried up the stairs, not caring for the hat and cane he dropped on the floor.

Margaret (Elderly lady); Turn into happiness, turn into happiness! (pours barrels and barrels or magnesium)

A tap on the floor prompted her to look up. Ciel held his revolver at Margaret.

Ciel: It’s time you put a stop to this.

Margaret: (sudden anger) Are you also here to obstruct me? To obstruct my happiness?

Ciel: Do you think that by doing so, these can become happiness?

Margaret was now very agitated. She takes out her camera, ready to press the shutter on Ciel.

Margaret: Yes, it can! Because that person said so.

Ciel: Ah (taken aback)

_____________________________________

Another explosion occurs at the top of the Big Ben

Sebastian and Grell runs towards the Big Ben.

Sebastian: Young Master!

Ciel was seen to be forced backwards by Margaret on the top of Big Ben.

Grell: That pig! When did she run up there?

________________________________________________

At Big Ben

Sparkles are seen on Ciel and he almost was caught in the explosion if not for the fact that he managed to dodge in time. Ciel fell and looked back to see Margaret approaching him.

Margaret: A brat like you will never understand it, you will never understand the unhappiness that resulted from me marrying a man I do not like.

Ciel is forced into the pillar with only his revolver as a weapon.

Margaret: I wish to be with an outstanding man and have a love that is like leaping flames. Those who dare to obstruct me, will all have to be burnt to death!

Margaret walk closer and closer to Ciel. Ciel thought for a moment before laughing out loud.

Ciel: Ah Hahaha!

Margaret: Gasp

Ciel: How hideous. If you think that it is tragic, then rebel against it. If your heart is filled with regrets, then move onwards. The you who only laments about the unfortunates you have, cannot even be called a pig.
____________________________________________________

Sebastian

Sebastian: Giving up on the future, losing the dreams, the countless of scars that were left by the torments of hopelessness, can still be cast aside and battle it out with reality. Never losing the elegance of himself. Young master, this is the soul that I yearn to devour.

___________________________________

Margaret and Ciel

Margaret: Pig..pi—pigg…. You said that I am a pig!?!?!?! (fumbled with camera)

___________________________________

Sebastian and Grell

Sebastian: (pulls on gloves) Now then, we have to treasure our time.

Grell: Huh?

Sebastian: That lady will die of self inflicted burns at 00 05, isn’t so?

Grell: Hold on a second, what are you trying to do?

Sebastian: Trying to catch that woman. My Young Master also ordered me to do so too.

Grell: There’s already no time left.

Sebastian: As the butler of the Phantomhive household, how can it do if I cannot even accomplish this small mission?

Sebastian held out a hand.

Sebastian: Hold on then, Grell.

Grell: (elated) Eh?? Why choose me?

Sebastian: To convince the Young master to be a model, such photography skills is still lacking. (Grell’s hopeful face) But if Mr Grell was to be the photography model, a pretty good photo might be produced.

Grell is in paradise now ^^ Love icons appears beside him as Grell blush in delight.

Grell: (spins) I will give you my sexy photograph personally ~ (sparkles)

____________________________________________________________________

Big Ben, an explosion once more (poor Big Ben, I wonder how many explosion it had withstand)

Margaret: (sprinkling powder) Those who dare say that I am a pig, no matter if they are just brats or adults, they all have to be burnt!

Margaret throws the container to the floor and the floor burst into flames behind Ciel (looks like Margaret has bad aiming skills, old age?). The impact caused Ciel’s eye patch to be loose and slip from his eye to the floor.

Ciel: How long more do you intend to play until? (The eye with the contract lights up) Come, Sebastian!

_______________________________________________________


From a corner of London…..
Sebastian: Yes, my lord

_______________________________________________________

Margaret: What are you muttering about? (realizes something when she heard a fizzling sound) Eh? (walks to the balcony)

Sebastian and Grell scaled the Big Ben vertically!

Margaret: What is this?

Ciel: My Household’s Butler. (and a ) Weird person.

Grell: No matter what, I still am a death god!

Margaret: Don’t come and obstruct me! (tosses the barrel of Magnesium and snaps a shot)

Grell appeared unscathed and rushed up at the same speed unaffected. Margaret became more desperate and kept pressing the shutter but to no avail. Ciel glanced out of the balcony.

Ciel: To think you used a death god as bait, demon.

Grell jumped up from the balcony and onto the horizontal floor of the Big Ben. The explosion continued from the frantic Margaret.

Grell: Whenever one is being photographed, he should sit there honestly, strike a pose and smile sweetly. (Grell demonstates!) For example, like the red coloured fruit. (claps hand) It’s coming out, it’s coming out! Like the spring water that is flowing out! The hot passion of one is overflowing! (prances around) That’s right, the me now is that ripened fruit. The mangosteen god of the death god world.

Sebastian: It really makes me feel like taking a bite out of you (omg…did he really say that?!?! Sebastian, you….!!) (Licks his hand >3)

Margaret: Eh?!

Margaret turns around to see Sebastian standing behind her. Grell goes on to send air kisses and saying “Purinzu!”

Ciel: You’re slow.

Sebastian: I apologise for that. (Kneels down)

Margaret: I want you to burn!

Sebastian glared sideways and proceeds to kick Margaret.

Margaret: It can’t be!

Sebastian: (arranging coat) As long as it is Young Master’s orders, this little thing is nothing.

Margaret: (terrified) Who are you people?!

Sebastian: (smiles) I am only one hell of a butler / I am a demon and a butler.

Grell: I am a deathgod as well as a photographer.

Ciel: (walks to Margaret) Spill all that you know.

Margaret: (collapse to the ground) Just do this, it would be enough, that’s what that person instructed. This way, the outstanding gentlemen would fall in love with me. (crying)

Sebastian: That person?

Sparkles appeared around Margaret.

Margaret: The person who has a pair of golden eyes.

Margaret dissolved into flames.

Grell: How can this be possible? This woman’s soul has actually begun igniting?

Margaret: The love that is like leaping flames…..happiness!!!!!

Ciel: Wait! Wait!

Sebastian: (grabs Ciel back) Young Master!

Explosion.
__________________________________________________________

Sebastian: (carrying Ciel) Young master, you are not hurt, are you? (lands at ground level)

Ciel: I’m fine.

__________________________________________________________

Grell: These are all lies! Even the soul that I was supposed to reap has been burnt! This is not possible! Definitely not!

Grell ran off to Sebastian.

Grell: I have to report to William, so I shall use this photograph as evidence! (holds a camera in his hands)

A snapshot of Sebastian and Grell appears.

Grell: Next time let us be photographed in the night too, Sebastian!

Grell: Bye Bye! (disappears)

Sebastian turns to Ciel

Sebastian: Young master, even though you commanded that I was to capture that woman but….

Sebastian revealed the ashes in his hand (Margaret’s).

Ciel: Everything is burnt.

The wind carried the ashes away.

Ciel: A woman who started killing viciously and crazily due to her insatiable appetite, I’ll just have to report this to the Queen then. Sigh

Sebastian: For the sake of being loved, just because of such a though, she is capable of doing such things. Humans….

Ciel: Really, it’s such a waste of efforts. For that kind of shapeless and meaningless love.

Sebastian: It’s ridiculous.

Ciel: Yes, it is ridiculous. (bends down to pick up eye patch) However, not everything was burnt away. (turns to Sebastian) Go research on the inside story. In this case, we might be able to see some kind of trend.
Sebastian: (kneels down) Yes.

Outside Ciel’s mansion, it was raining.

Sebastian: Young Master. Young master.

Ciel: (stirs) em?

Ciel opened his eyes to see Sebastian with the candle lights in his hands.

Sebastian: Sorry to disturb your sleep.

Ciel: (sits up) What have you found out?

Sebastian: On the Museum’s bookshelf, I found a similar piece of Literature. (hands over the book to Ciel) Actually, before the burning incident of the people, Her Majesty the Queen has an authority action under her control. This is unrelated to the Phantomhive but they are specifically in charge of dealing with the aftermath of the nobilities operations.

Ciel: Specifically in charge of dealing? The police are unwilling to provide evidence, is this also the reason?

_______________________________________

Screen moves to the Trancy Household where Claude is cleaning the dinner table

Sebastian: Although the Head of the Trancy Household has died three years ago, but now his descendant has succeeded the family property. His is called Earl Trancy.

Ciel: Earl Trancy?
