The Shinjuukyou that we have, and the Shinkakyou that Tsukuyomi has are vital. That's why we're going to Tsukuyomi's palace. Taizou: ...we already know all that!! What I want to know is! If Tsukuyomi wanted to get in our way, then why didn't he just capture us all? Wouldn't that have been easier for him?! Keima: That's true... pg 37 Yuuki: ...I think that was because of Takaomi... Keima: What? Yuuki: I really don't understand it, but... ...I'm sure... Yuuki: % Takaomi... % Where are you now...? Kaya: (K...KYAAA!) Nooooo! I'm SCAAAAAAAAAARED!! Takaomi: Be quiet and hold on!! pg 38 Kaya: But this is uncivilized, San-chan!! And you stole this fish from one of Father's officers... Arrow: Policeman Kaya: And also... I HATE SCALY THINGS!! (I feel siiick!!) Takaomi: (Oh, shut UP...) Do you know? What that guy under Tsukuyomi was doing to this world? He was destroying the sea, the earth- and making people fight one another. He didn't care what he had to destroy, as long as he got everything that he wanted. And the center of all of this is... Tsukuyomi...your father. Kaya: ...I knew. pg 39 Kaya: I know everything that Father is doing. And I know that he's not doing very good things... And because of that... I was kidnapped... But why did you have to bring that up? (San-chan, you're so mean!) Takaomi: ... I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to end up fighting Tsukuyomi. Kaya: ! Takaomi: I have a person that I want to protect. ...and it isn't you. I'm really sorr- pg 40 Kaya: ...turn back around. Please... Kaya: % That, too... % I knew that, too. Man: ...Tsukuyomi-sama!! We just recieved word that Kaya-sama and Thirty have arrived in the capital... Tsukuyomi: !! pg 41 Tsukuyomi: So they've come now...! Everything that has happened until now has been according to the ledgend. And if everything that happens in the future follows the ledgend as well... Then if I take Thirty to that room, and lure him to stand on top of that symbol... He will be confined there...! All I must do is give him the sixth jewel, and slowly begin to control his power... pg 42 Tsukuyomi: And then...I'll be able to have the entire world the same way...!! You've returned, both of you. I'm so glad to see you well. Kaya, have you any idea how worried I've been? Now, let's prepare a toast- Takaomi: I don't care about any of that! I want you to keep your promise. Give me that magatama. pg 43 Tsukuyomi: Oh, that's right. You know, too, of our Ledgend Room. The magatama is inside there. Kaya: I-I'll come as well! Tsukuyomi: All of you- follow us, but stay well behind. Come, now. Takaomi: ... Tsukuyomi: ...what's wrong? Come inside. pg 44 Takaomi: !! Kaya: SAN-CHAN?! Takaomi: What is this...!! Takaomi: % I can't get out!! Tsukuyomi: Mwahaha! That is the holy shield, that was born of the ledgend. pg 45 Tsukuyomi: Now, I plan to have you marry Kaya...and then, to live here as my final weapon towards my goal of gaining the world... Live here, in the depths of this dark castle... Takaomi: ...Tsukuyomi, damn you... Tsukuyomi: I'll control you...!! Tsukuyomi: I'll tell you your identity, as I promised. You... ...will destroy the entire world, by swallowing up the light of day. You're a MONSTER. pg 46 Takaomi: What are you talking about? Tsukuyomi: Look, then, at the ledgendary writing. Takaomi: ..."That seal is the mark of the monster that shall swallow up the light of day." "The world that is controlled by light will be gone, and the darkness revived, soon..." "Along with the sixth jewel's appearance-" Takaomi: % What?! Takaomi: ...!! pg 47 Takaomi: % Magatama... % It's mine... % I've finally gotten it.... pg 48 pg 49 pg 50 Yuuki: ...?! The sky just...! Yuuki: !! N...Nakime-san...!! What's wrong?! pg 51 Nakime: Great...power....the power of darkness... Because of it, Amaterasu-sama's power dropped radically... Yuuki: What? Nakime: I can't support her any longer. "Susanonu" has awakened...!! Yuuki: "Susanonu"...?! Nakime: Yuuki, hurry. There is only one way to stop him... And that is to get to the Tenjukyuu. To stop the sun... To stop Amaterasu-sama from dying off completely...! pg 52 Kaya: % He's not San-chan...?! Tsukuyomi: Y...You broke the shield...?! Im...possible. You aren't supposed to be able to move freely- Tsukuyomi: % Did...did his recitation of the ledgend set it off...?! % At...at this rate... % He'll stop me from achieving my goals! Tsukuyomi: I... pg 53 Tsukuyomi: I won't let Amaterasu... Or you... Take the world from me...!! pg 54 Kaya: Fa...th...er...? Tsukuyomi: You will obey my orders. Because if you don't... Kaya: ....! Takaomi: % This is...a human. Takaomi: ....you will do anything...so that you can obtain everything. But by doing that... Why can't you realize that you're destroying yourself...!! pg 55 Tsukuyomi: S...silence...!! Kaya: KYAAAAAAAAA! pg 56 Tsukuyomi: Im...impossib...le... Tsukuyomi: % So the one that was swallowed up... pg 57 Tsukuyomi: % Was ME... Tsukuyomi: GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! Souta: S... Something's happened. The sun should have risen by now... pg 58 Souta: It's pitch black... TV: ....we now present a special information report. It is 6:50 AM, and the sun is not yet visible. Seeing as how we can not see the sun, it means that an eclipse is occuring. Everyone, please remain calm! At the moment, specialists are searching for the cause... pg 59 TV: Everyone, please remain calm.... Souta: ...that won't work... Nothing will work, unless we get there...!! Souta: % Everybody, what happened...? Man: Ts...Tsukuyomi-sama is... Man: Something like sand.... pg 60 Men: It's...it's a MONSTER...!! Kaya: ...Father... pg 61 Kaya: The rea...son...this happened...

What did I give up on you for, then?! Takaomi: % Yuu...ki. pg 63 Takaomi: % I remember it now...everything. % The memories from Nakatsukuni that I wanted so desperately. % Your smiling face... % Your tearful face... Yuuki: (Morning!) Takaomi: % Don't cry. % Because...so much, I- % I'm...falling under something else's...control. pg 64 Takaomi: % I have to go. Kaya: Wait! Don't GO...!!! Takaomi: % To Amaterasu...
