1 Shinrei: Gah... ahh... Shinrei: Ugh... Fubuki: You really thought your pathetic skills would kill me...? Fubuki: This is goodbye, Shinrei!! 2 Fubuki: "Dragon Red Tears!!" (Yep... that's really the attack name... written out in katakana and everything... do you think Kamijyo-sensei would hire me to make sure his English attack names don't suck?) Text: Can victory be won through sacrifice!? 3 Hotaru: You idiot! You want to die...!? Hotaru: That's the strongest fobidden technique of the water Gouyousei! If you're thinking what I think you're thinking... you want to kill yourself and Fubuki together! Hotaru: But right now is the best time to ensure that Fubuki gets a direct hit... Fubuki: I see... Fubuki: You don't even have the strength left for a final scream... Fubuki: You have failed... 4 Fubuki: Shinrei... for your final performance, we really need appropriate musical accompianment... don't you think? Fubuki: It's a shame... you will have to make do with the whispers of the insects that feed on you and the sound of my voice... Fubuki: And as for your little side show... Fubuki: This is the final curtain!! 5 Fubuki: .... Fubuki: So you want another act? Hotaru: While Shinrei was still standing, I couldn't help him... (He said not to help, that pain in the ass...) Fubuki: I see... you intend to aid your brother this way...? I suppose the two of you must see some strategy that is far beyond me...? Hotaru: I'm enough to take care of you... I really hate water, so I'm going to use my fire to dry you out... Hotaru: !? Hotaru: I can't... make fire...!? 6 Hotaru: Fog...? Hotaru: What... Hotaru: What kind of fog is this...? It's so thick and heavy... it's like I'm underwater... is that why I can't use my flames!? (Hey, that was some pretty impressive deduction for Hotaru~) Fubuki: By now, you probably can't control fire at all in this fog... If you had any thoughts of taking up your brother's battle, then perhaps you would like to reconsider? Fubuki: Or would you rather dance with me, Keikoku, stripped of your flames? Fubuki: Shall I show you...? 7 Yuan: Take that!! 8 Yuan: Bastard... you think you can hit me!? Akari: Yuan...!! Yuan: Such crappy attacks... 9 Yuan: Bounce right off!! Hishigi: I'll show you... Julian: Y... Yuan!! Hishigi: ...And how do you like that...? Yuan: Give me some more!! 10 Akari: [What kind of battle is this....!? Such speed and power... it's beyond anything I've ever seen...] Akari: [Can those two even feel pain!?] Akari: [Can they feel terror...!?] Akari: [This is... a battle between gods...!!!] Yuan: AHHHHHH!!! 11 Hishigi: ...So we're even, then...? Yuan: No way! Don't go acting so badass when you know I'm way above you in physical strength! Yuan: ...You're not scared, are ya? Do I intimidate you that much~? Yuan: You're not worn out already, are ya? Yuan: Come on, hit me! This is a deathmatch!! Hishigi: I suppose I have no choice... Hishigi: Even though we are comrades in the Taishirou, I have never shown my full power... Hishigi: I'll be honest with you now. Now will you die...? Yuan: What!? yuan: [I've never seen him unfasted that before... what's underdeath that mask!?] 12-13 Yuan: !? Yuan: Keikoku's sword...!? Fubuki: Halt, Hishigi... Fubuki: I think that's enough... Hishigi: ...Yes, sir. Fubuki: I have no mercy for those... Fubuki: Who dare defy our lord!! 14 Akari: H... HOTARU...!! Akari: SHINREI...!! Hotaru: Ugh... Shinrei: Gah... Yuan: Fubuki... you bastard... Fubuki: And you're next, Yuan... Akari: What do I do...!? Akari: What do I do...!? Akari: What do I do......!? 15 Akari: Those two... Akari: They're too strong...!! Fubuki: Against two of the Taishirou... what chance do you have...? Yuan: Grr... Kyo: Ugh... Akari: K...Kyo!! Please open your eyes... 16 Akari: Wh... What!? Tenrou is... Akari: Tenrou is turning on Kyo!? Kyo: Gah... Julian: Kyo had just started to truly master Tenrou... All of the Muramasa Demon Blades have a demon residing within the sword that must be tamed by its master... Akari: You... you've got to be kidding!! Don't talk like that!! Akari: J... Julian!? Why...!? Julian: ...Just let me look at him. Julian: ...Tenrou is special... Akari: ...Julian!? What are you saying...? 17 Kyo: Gah... Akari: K... Kyo!? Akari: KYO!! Kyo: It's you again, you damned wolf... I don't have time to waste with you right now... Kyo: Let me go back right now. Wolfie: AS ARROGANT AS EVER... YOU THINK YOU CAN REGAIN CONTROL OF ME WITH WORDs...? (Wolfie talks in all katakana, which is pretty badass, so Catmaries-san, I think he deserves another font or something) Kyo: Quit your barking, you stupid dog.... Wolfie: YES, THAT'S GOOD..... 18 Wolfie: VERY GOOD, YOU HAVE SOME FORCE YET... Wolfie: YOU ARE ONIME NO KYO, LAST OF OUR CLAN... (Now, interestingly, he uses "wa" for "you", which more often means "I" or "we"... "you" is only a dialectical form, and this guy doesn't sound like the type to start spounting Kansai-ben, so maybe he's suggesting that he and Kyo are part of the same?) Kyo: !? Kyo: [Red eyes!?] Kyo: Fucking wolf, what are you oing with those eyes...!? You're too damned much... Kyo: Fucking dog, what... are you doing..... 19 Kyo: WHat is this place...? Kyo: ... AKa-san: ...Much time has passed, but you've returned... You are Onime no Kyo, last of our clan..... (Same as what Wolfie said, with the "wa" and all...) Kyo: ...Who? Kyo: You... 20 Aka-san: I am from a time long before your own... I am the ruler of the Mibu Clan, the forefather of them all... the first Aka no Ou. Text: Tenrou's true form is that of the first Aka no Ou...!! What will become of the demon's child!? Aka-san: Onime no Kyo... shall I teach you the secrets of the true Mibu Clan...?
