(in the desert, recca facing madoka) text : the fourth one, king of the flame barriers madoka!! (a funny looking man sitting inside a barrier) this guy has a very simple condition to get him back! madoka : [as long as you make me move from this place when I am in this barrier!] text (flashback of recca's attack using saiha) : it would be easy as long as I break the barrier! (saiha meets the barriers) but it's not as easy as it looks... (recca landed upside down) this guy really deserved the name as the king of barriers! recca (thinking, looks funny) : he even withstood mikagami's tsurara mai... then--- what should I do? old man : [that time with homura, he did think something unexpectedly but... could he really be an idiot? hm... I don't get this guy... (sweatdrop) I can't help it... not much time left.] hey, recca. recca : what is it, old man!! old man : I'll give you a hint. (diagram accompanied) madoka's flame is a plane! formed by the points which are fireballs. balls on four side forms a square! on three sides form a triangular plane! of course two can't form a plane. (it's a line) that's the hint! this is an elementary problem. (I'm not sure madoka is too happy to hear that...) recca (seems like he got it, smiles and summons nadare) : I GOT IT---!! dragon flame, form two! nadare! (all the fireballs attack madoka) madoka (laugh) : hahah, moron!! don't you understand it's useless? I'm the invincible king of barriers!! (but recca waves his hands and...) ! (all the fireballs are aimed at the connection points of the barrier. and they're taken out one by one) WHAT!? (shock) [he realized!?] AHHHH! (getting attacked from all sides) recca : if the points disappear, the area is reduced, (diagram example of the a square which has 4 points, turn into a triangle half the size with 3 points) now where is your fat body going to fit!? old man : the surface may be invincible, but the points are still flames! they are vulnerable to nadare, and they cancel each other. [hohoho] madoka (trapped in a little space... the barrier gets even smaller) : ee---! i... it's disappearing, the barrier!! [I'm beaten...!] recca (kick him in the face, now that the barrier's gone) : mister nice guy, huh. I won! old man (sweat) : [good work!! he did show his ability to solve problems, to realize the weakness in a second, and then immediately chose the best counter flame dragon! it's a strategic power that cannot be underestimated!! this guy... he's such a moron--- but he's becoming strong! is he for real!?] recca : [there are only two more dragons left... my power will return! fuuko... koganei... mikagami! just a little longer... please!!] (back to the tokiya match) kai (attack) : HAAAAA!! (they fight each other with a few exchanges, kai jumps up and attack) KAAA! tokiya : ku... (he's bleeding after that one) (some of his blood is one the ground, and kai feeds it to his madougu) hyoumaen : ohhhhh--!! Hyaaaaaaaaa, go KAIIIII!! (kai's madougu absorbing the blood) I want his blood!!! man 1: w... what is that weapon! is it alive!? man 2 (point) : look! it's drinking!! it's drinking mikagami's blood!!! mikoto : hoho... his hyoumaen likes fresh human blood. kurei : ...... domon : a vampire sword!? (freaked out) kagero (alarmed though) : [another--- madougu I don't know... kurei--- how many more unknown madougu does he have...... what a frightening man...!] kai (raise hyoumasen, the tip is frozen with bloody ice) : well, hyoumaen... hyoumaen : more, more... drink more kai : show your power if you want more... makes ice!! the air condenses to water! and becomes ice!! (raise hyoumaen, attack) Hyoumon ken---- (the tip of hyoumaen's ice breaks and all the pieces attack tokiya) hisame!! (mikagami got a direct hit) domon : MIKAGAMIIII---!! kaoru : he's fine... (it turns out to be an water illusion) fuuko : m... mi-chan melted---!? kaoru : no, fuuko nee-chan. that was a water puppet. I fell for it too, when I lost to him. still impressive for mikagami! kai (tokiya appears behind him) : hyoumon ken's mizu kugutsu *water puppet*...? that was pretty good... tokiya (really wounded) : A...H! (spitting out blood, and dropping his ensui) domon : it doesn't look too good!! fuuko : not good... he's reached his limit... he can't defend himself! hyoumaen : he dropped ensui, now kai!! kill him!! blood! blooddd!! kai : ...... (not moving) hyoumaen : what are you doing!! hurry, hurry, kill him!! kai : SHUT THE FUCK UP, ASSHOLE!!! (silence...) kai : pick up your sword, mikagami--- my pride won't allow me to kill you bare handed. my pride......!! text : mikagami is magnificent. a golden valued genius swordsman. kai... compared to him, you are only a stone! kai (looks really scary) : do you understand!? I was so pressured even though I was once soaring above all!! since then with the will of death, I have mastered hyoumon ken! now I have surpassed you!! and now! you've had the golden valued sword for seven years... one year!! I mastered mine in one year!! finally we meet--- finally...... everything I worked for! what is a genius!! I'll show you the stone breaking the gold!! mikoto : kurei-sama... kurei : even I didn't know that about kai. fighting for himself instead of the uruha...... and he's actually a jyushinshuu. however, I like his hatred and persistence. (audience are still in shock/silence) tokiya : ...kai... don't mistake me... I am not gold. (his eyes focus) I just want to avenge my sister... that's the only reason I took up hyoumon ken. that is the only reasoon...... the desire for blood, I'm the same--- to live alone in humiliation or to take the sword for revenge, what's the difference. rather... your pure search for strength--- it dazzles me. kai (surprised at his words) : ......... yanagi (shocked by that look tokiya has and what he said) : [mikagami senpai... showing his feelings...? he's always shut off, that guy--- but... (teary) it's sad, it's so sad...!] (fuuko pat her pretty toughly) fuuko : don't cry, yanagi! that's his fight. (yanagi clinging on to fuuko) for you! for us! for recca! and--- for himself! he's not alone. he's also a Hokage! end of volume 13 chapter 2 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
