(falls) uh... d... damn you... SETSUNA!!! old man : [this is mad......!! within the eight dragons, only this guy... setsuna is different!! setsuna--- he's seriously going to kill recca!!] setsuna : heh...... heheh... (inhale, exhale, and then attacks) recca : [he's fast...!!] (takes out his bomb balls, but setsuna wounds his arm first, so he drops all of them) ! (falls) ouchhhhh!! damn... whether it was before or now... he's always been serious? and you are wasting time to play games!! old man : be careful, recca!! recca : hn? old man : until now, the five dragons wished to help you improve, they were only fighting as a test! however... this one is different!! [before he was a flame dragon, at the time when he was still human, setsuna was a cruel and aimless insane killer!! therefore although he had the power of a flame master, he couldn't get the approval of the people to become the head of the hokage army, finally he was killed by his own people!!] in the long history of the hokage, there are cases where the birth right of the flame master still failed to make them the leader! some died from sickness, others were assassinated. even in the eight dragons, there is still someone who was deemed "unfit" to be the leader. setsuna was seen as an outcast from his inhumane cruelty!! even after his soul became a flame dragon after his death, he still hasn't changed!! that is the reason why the flame dragon, setsuna is known as the "evil dragon"!! recca (looks lost, after a long pause) : errr, so you mean... setsuna is a bad guy... and he's weird? old man (very deformed and pissed off) : you... you stupid idiot... (vein) (suddenly, to cut them short, setsuna attacks from behind) recca : ! [here he comes!!] setsuna : D... IE...! (BOOM... meanwhile, get back to the arena ^.^) joker : ... what the hell... it's getting boring without recca-san. don't tell me hokage's captain actually ran away!! domon (pissed off) : shut up, you bastard! hanabishi went to pee!! joker : really, then why isn't he back yet? domon (sweat... speechless) : t... that's because... yanagi : recca's back already! right, fuuko-chan! fuuko (join in) : that's right, yanagi!!! look again, asshole!! (they step aside... and in a "tah dah" display of a standing bag with a yanagi drawn picture of recca's face taped on it.... and it's swaying... on the pictures, it says, recca-kun *heart* - ROSE yanagi... and everyone looks unconvinced at that... bag...) domon : fuuko-sama... that's only a sand bag... (gets beat up by fuuko) fuuko : damn you!! you'll blow the cover!! tokiya (speechless) : probably about a 200% chance. kaoru (look at yanagi, wide-eyed) : yanagi-chan... you... don't draw very well. (yanagi has a hair standing up shocked look) audience : well, there we go again, the hokage comedy. ah!! yanagi and fuuko are so funny! but... recca is taking too long... ahhh-- I don't think he ran away... (suddenly, from the uruha kurenai side, mikoto steps up) mikoto : "he probably didn't run away"... hohohoho... on the contrary... I wouldn't be surprised if he did. no one wants to die--- fuuko : shut the fuck up, you noumen *referring to mikoto's mask* bastard!! tokiya : even though he's a monkey... he's a monkey who chooses glorious death over disserting. kurei : ... no matter. I don't care when recca comes back--- however...... the record now is 1 and 1--- if mikoto and joker defeat you later, he won't even have the right to fight!! (getting back to the desert land of recca and setsuna, setsuna slashes recca who falls down and disappears in the sand) setsuna : ...... hn...? ...... disappeared... heh... (look around) recca (who is hiding under the sand) : ground cloak technique!! good thing the ground is sand--- I'll show you, asshole!! setsuna : ehehe (smell around, suddenly his blade penetrates the ground exactly at where recca is hiding) recca : !? (jump out) shit!! (gets beat up by setsuna) [this... guy--- is strong! (spit blood) can I win.........?] nadare (his dragons suddenly speak to him) : [don't give up, recca!!] recca (surprised) : the voice in my head? that... voice? nadare : [...you were finally able to get us back! are you giving up now!?] recca (stare at his hand) : ! nadare... saiha : [if you are a weak flame master who can't even defeat setsuna, then why did we bother to return! don't you fight because you have someone to protect!! recca!!] homura : [plus you still have two untamed dragons... your power! heart! use them to make your judgment!] madoka : [setsuna's eyes are bad, but he has a good nose, idiot! if you bleed too much, he can find you no matter where you go!!] rui : [aren't we going together? aren't we fighting together? nee...... recca!!] dragons : [together...] recca (close his eyes) : ......... that's right-- (eyes open slightly) you are right, fuuko... domon and the others... everyone is waiting. old man : ! setsuna : ! recca (a very determined look in his eyes) : [I refuse--- to give up like this!!] old man : [so you've decided to face him...! however--- setsuna definitely will attack that place... recca's weakness!!!] end of volume 13 chapter 7 translator's note : nee... I haven't translated for a long time ^^;; and all of a sudden, I'm doing everything, oh well, this is also getting exciting... the whole vol 12-16 are on the final round, this is only 13, so we've got a long way to go... but the remaining of this vol will be all on fuuko's fight with mikoto... not exactly what happened in the anime... rather different ending in fact, but like I said, everything's different in the manga from here on... I don't think they showed you how recca reacquired his dragons, did they... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
