Volume 2 Chapter 7 : The Swordsman of Water VI (Determination of the Flame) side text : he’s not a normal person! damn! like he said, I don’t have much more strength left! the two times will be my only chance! if I fail...... then, I must lose! (recca does a funny face, inhale, and attack, he’s using his explosives again.) recca : here it comes! mikagami tokiya! tokiya : [using fire powder again? if you want to beat me in two hits, you better come up with something better than that! from his wounds, his flame won’t last much longer...... twice...... if I can stop his attack two more times, I’ll win!] recca (getting ready) : [hang in there! for the princess!] take this! (attack) tokiya (surprised) : huh? this is...... (outside in the amusement park, fuuko and domon running around.) fuuko : hey! what the hell? so many people! we just can’t find recca! domon (excited, VERY excited, thinking) : in the amusement park with fuuko! my dream has come true. (domon imagines various scenes of going on rides with fuuko, eating together, he’s singing in happiness, day dreaming.) domon (singing) : so happy...... fuuko (thinks that he’s some weirdo) : ? domon : fuuko, next time let’s pick a time and come here again! fuuko : huh? (considers) yeah right! I’m more interested in the OTB or the MJ house! domon (thinking) : to expect her to turn romantic is worse than waiting for a pig to fly...... person A : did you hear noise from the mirror house? person B : isn’t it closed? they’re fixing the inside! fuuko : domon! domon : hn! (in the house of mirrors, glass flying all over the place.) kage hoshi : ! yanagi : what’s happening? kage hoshi : that kid’s gone wild again! he probably wants to destroy all the mirrors! yanagi : WHAT? tokiya (slashed by the glasses, recca not any better) : you want to die? hanabishi! you don’t have to be so rough even if you want to win! recca (also being hit by the glass) : it hurts! now you’re also hurt! we’re even! (tokiya looks surprised, he remembered what recca said.) recca (flashback) : (let’s go somewhere else! if we stay here princess might get hurt.) tokiya : did you...... were you planning this from the very beginning? [blood...... ......!! where is he?] (tokiya’s bleeding, recca’s gone) recca! where are you hiding? (through broken glasses, recca is in the air about to attack.) tokiya : !! recca : let’s do this! mikagami! tokiya : you are a worthy opponent...... put your life on the line when you’re mad. but that is not enough! (ensui passes into recca’s body, before his punch can land on tokiya. the image of recca suddenly breaks to pieces.) tokiya : !!? mirrors? [a trick? then where is he?] recca (voice behind him) : this is the last attack! (recca stands behind tokiya, his flame ready, tokiya turns around in time to use his ensui to block the flame. memory.) tokiya : ne-san...... police : poor family! how did they let a maniac get in? and the brother is only so young...... if that someone didn't get here in time, he’d probably be dead too! so sad. tokiya (holding his sister’s hand) : ne-san! tokiya’s sister : to...... tokiya...... take it...... tokiya : ? doctor : don’t talk anymore! tokiya : wha...... what is this? tokiya’s sister : It’s a lucky charm...... (ensui) this is the mikagami family’s treasure, father said it’s called "ensui", I don’t know what it’s for, but...... it’s always been protecting me...... from now on...... I hope...... It will also protect you…… (her hand falls) [tokiya...... protect you......] tokiya : NE-SAN! (memory fades) [the sister who’s always been guarding me...... if I can’t even defeat this guy’s fire, then how can I still seek revenge? I must win!] recca : mikagami! tokiya : !! recca : you said once that water extinguishes fire right? but-- you forgot the other side! evaporation! (ensui is getting bubbly) water can extinguish fire, but fire can also evaporate water! (recca’s flame grows, explosion, tokiya holds the original ensui.) tokiya : ensui returned to normal? recca : remember this! girls see their hair as their life! and- (punch tokiya) this is unforgivable! end of volume 2 chapter 7 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
