Volume 1 Chapter 8 : COUNT DOWN

(in the schoolyard, kage hoshi, fuuko, domon, and recca. everyone’s staring
at the flame on recca’s hand.)

domon : I’m not dreaming? first it’s fuuko...... now...... hanabishi does
this too?
kage hoshi (pleased) : it’s here!
fuuko : recca...... is this my imagination?
recca (looking at his flame) : I never used it before in a fight, hope it’s
gonna be fine. it seems brighter, stronger than before!
fuuko : not bad......

(she throws more needle/nails at recca. recca’s flame rises and knocked
them all down.)

recca : cool! it’s working!
domon (eyes popping) : that... that is real fire? won’t it burn your hand?
recca (waving his hand) : it’s fine!
fuuko : huh! nothing so special!
recca (engaged in fight) : [there’s only one target! that is- fuujin!]
kage hoshi : continue attacking, don’t stop! your wind is much stronger
than his fire!
fuuko : ah! (main crystal on fuujin glows) I control the wind-- recca
controls fire? (aims the wind at recca) let’s put in a decisive fight!

(the wind rushes toward recca. they slash him on the shoulder, but he’s
still running.)

recca : waaaahhhhhh! (he jumps close to fuuko) TAKE THIS!
fuuko : !!

(fuuko stares blankly, sweating.)

domon : he... he did it!
kage hoshi : [doesn’t he know what fear is? this kid......]

(recca’s fire leaves a mark on fuujin. the main crystal cracks. recca goes
in for a second attack.)

recca : [I’ll destroy you!]
kage hoshi : [he figured out the key to fuujin!] fuuko! don’t let him get
close to you!

(fuuko gathers the wind around her. a tornado is forming. recca gets thrown
out by the vibration.)

recca : ah!
domon : hanabishi!
recca : it hurts like hell!
domon : that wind is like a shield! can’t get in?
recca : duh! if you wanna get chopped into pieces, go ahead!
fuuko (breathing heavy) : fuu! fuu! fuu!
kage hoshi (laughing) : haha! I wonder how long she can stand!
domon : !
recca : what do you mean?
kage hoshi : to be able to maintain such a strong wind is not easy,
especially when the user is at the center of it...... right now she......
must be unable to breath? but if she stops the wind, then it’s admitting
defeat...... do you think she’ll do it? she’s more stubborn than you think!
probably two more minutes is her limit?
domon : you bitch!
side text : two more minutes is her limit!
recca : domon! stop bullshitting! we have to stop fuuko! she will die!
time : 2:00
fuuko (unreadable) : .........
time : 1:52
fuuko (sticking her tongue out and making a face) : eh-
recca : ......... I give up......
time : 1:35
recca : please leave fuuko along, whatever you want......
time : 1:24
time (kage hoshi in shadow, unreadable) : 1:19
domon : hanabishi! wait!
time : 1:15
recca : that’s...... my cap?
time : 1:13

(the wind is sucking everything in, recca’s cap is floating in the air.)

time : 1:06

(the cap flies up to the top of the tornado and drops next to fuuko’s
feet.)

time : 0:50
recca : ...... (above......)
time (recca and domon stare at each other) : 0:46
recca (punches domon) : ha! hahahahah!
time : 0:40

(they get into a SD fight. kage hoshi just watches.)

recca : [it’s like a hurricane! the center is calm!]
time : 0:25
recca (running with domon) : [sorry! fuuko! I didn’t know that defeating me
to you was...... so important!]
time : 0:17
side text : sorry......
domon (ready) : come on! hanabishi! if you burn fuuko, I’m gonna chop you
into pieces!
time : 0:12
recca (steps on domon’s hand and jumps) : [if it could be done all over, I
would tell you "you are qualified to be my master"! it’s the truth!]
time : 0:08

(recca in the air ignites his flame.)

time : 0:05

(kage hoshi looks up in surprise. fuuko looks confused. recca drops into
the tornado, his flame ready.)

time : 0:03

(he lands next to fuuko, his flame passes her.)

time : 0:01

(the crystal on fuujin cracks into pieces. the flame also burns fuuko’s
cloth. she’s shocked.)

time : 0:00
