(the guards get knocked out. recca, domon and fuuko standing there.) domon : security guards! fuuko : yanagi must be held in here, this is great! [we’re like in a movie] recca : hey-if you wanna give up, then go home now! I have no idea what’s waiting...... fuuko : relax! I’m staying till the end! domon : wherever fuuko goes, I’m following! recca (thinking) : they have no idea...... (door open, the three of them enter a long hallway full of statues.) domon : how come no one’s here to greet us? fuuko : probably not paying much attention to us! domon : !! (door closes) fuuko : it’s locked! domon : they want to trap us here? ahhhh-what should we do? If I knew this I would’ve stayed home! recca : stop howling! I can’t stand it! all we can do now is go in! [just wait! princess! tatesako sensei!] (they look around them. admiring the different statues.) recca : wow! domon! that statue really looks like your brother! domon : what the fuck! fuuko : this place is giving me the creeps! (they all look straight surprised. a statue is placed in the middle of the hallway.) recca : the statue? damn it scared me. I thought it was an enemy! just walk around it! statue : motion detector! intruder recognized! (the statue’s mouth open. a laser gun shoots an unguarded recca. it leaves a mark on his face. recca falls back) fuuko : attacked by the statue? domon : hanabishi! kurei (voice) : welcome, everyone...... I am kurei, the master of this place! you must be tired after your long journey! recca : shut up! where did you hide them? kurei (voice from a speaker) : you shouldn’t make a move! maria...... I mean the statue, detects any kinds of motion, and attacks immediately. but speaking is fine. let’s play a game! maria’s laser can penetrate 20 inches of metal, before her eyes, you can’t even move, how are you going to pass this challenge? come on! let me see what you can do! domon : it’s over once we move...... but we can turn into statues and just stand here! recca : I’m not gonna be trapped here just by you! (takes out his explosives) I’ll blow her up first! (the explosives are hit by the laser before they were thrown, recca’s hand is caught in the explosion.) fuuko : ahhhh! domon : idiot! you trying to kill yourself? recca : ahh-- don’t! don’t move! (maria’s mouth open again, the laser pointing to them, domon and recca freezes. fuuko look thoughtful.) fuuko : .........! (no reaction?) recca : this is a problem! my fire and fuuko’s wind, we would be dead before we have time to use it! fuuko : there is a solution! let me be the bait! (recca looks shocked) domon (vein pop) : bait? recca : what the hell are you talking about? I totally disagree! NEVER! fuuko : idiot! don’t move! didn’t you see? that thing after one attack has a short period where it can’t detect anything. that time period...... probably only a few seconds! you can use that time span, destroy it! you can do it! domon : I can be the bait too! fuuko : you just have pure strength, you won’t dodge it. but I can! I am the quickest among us! domon : hanabishi...... recca : you might get swallowed as the bait. fuuko’s speed is definitely first rate, her can see through other people’s movements. I believe in fuuko’s ability! let’s just concentrate of dealing with the statue! domon : ......... got it! I have faith in fuuko too! kurei (watching) : heh! are you playing it risky? how many people in the house has madougu? man : I believe...... koganei kaoru, mokuren, katashiro reiran, and sekiou, the four of them. kurei : tell them to get into battle preparations. man : huh? kurei : maria won’t stop them. I can feel it! fuuko (domon and recca ready) : let’s go! (gives the statue the finger) stupid rock! just come at me! fuuko is not afraid of you! maria : motion detected! target set! (laser shoots) fuuko : [just like a bobo doll, don’t move the core focus......] here it comes! (she swings to the side, maria’s mouth closing) do it! recca! recca : good work! fuuko. ninja tool, "chain lock"! (recca throws a hooked chain at the statue. it wraps around it. recca pulls.) recca : now it’s your turn-- (throw the statue at domon) domon- domon : so this is it, I don’t even have to move, this stupid rock is coming to me! ahahaha! have a taste of my head’s power! (domon runs his head into the statue and breaks it into pieces.) kurei : ha! good cooperation...... pretty interesting! but... maria was only a statue! next you must face the four people with madougu...... can you handle it? domon : ahahahah! when we work together, we’re invincible! recca : wasn’t it all my work! fuuko : it’s because of my great idea! (fuuko and recca stare at each other. BANG BANG, they start knocking each other in a cloud of smoke.) domon *neglected* : these two are such good friends...... end of volume 3 chapter 3 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
