[Image][Image] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECCA NO HONOU [FLAME OF RECCA] By Anzai Nobuyuki Volume 8 Chapter 6: LIVE V (HARD - LOCK) Translated by Kamiya Shuusai [ Chapter Index | Previous Chapter | Next Chapter ] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Volume 8 Chapter 6 : LIVE V (HARD - LOCK) side text : on the third day of the ura butou satsujin, PM : 12:01. (on the bottom of the page is the schedule for the day, the eight battles that will occur in the third round in all four divisions. division A, B, and C all says under their first battle of the day, that it's still in progress, division D, however, with uruha kurenai, they won already, and the second battle of the day is in progress... *it's kurei, what do you expect?* meanwhile, on the platform, where hokage and uruha oto are fighting, there's a big crack down the center) audience : wow... neon just played a note on her flute and... the stage just exploded! what frightening power! what's happening? kukai : saicho, do you remember what happened yesterday? saicho : yes. even a strong fighter like genjuro knew he couldn't escape from neon. in the end, he exploded into pieces... kukai : frightening... probably only kurei's servants has such power! saicho : the power of that attack probably rivals one of the eight dragons. if hokage can't find a way to stop her attacks, they might... menou (shake her head) : recca won't lose! sakura : [calm down, menou.] saicho : do...don't get me wrong, I want them to win just as you do. only that... in their current conditions... recca : mikagami, you better get out of my way! I can handle this alone! tokiya : do you really think you're that good? go sit on the side. recca (furious) : what the fuck did you say? kagero : recca!! it's not the time to bring out your own problems. pay attention before her madougu. I can't be sure of anything... but that seem to me like... fukyo waon... right? miss neon. neon : correct. fine, there's no way to escape... I'll teach you the true powers of fukyo waon. sound the source of power for fukyo waon. what we call sound... it's really only waves that travel through air... there are so many types, loud noises can turn into a great force, there's also super sonic and low frequencies. this madougu gathers all the sound from the surrounding and store it as energy... and then through the vibration of the sound from my flute, fukyo waon turns into an incredible power. fuuko : she controls something the eyes cannot see, a little like fuujin. domon (confused) : [I don't get it] recca : so it's a sound wave! no wonder genjuro died like that... ha! so what! (summon saiha) I'm not afraid of you, it's no magic. you won't get a second chance at me! (attack) neon (block) : miki-- miki : yes, sister! (opens yamabiki) recca (pushed off by neon) : ah! neon (attack) : concerto!! (I don't think this is the original name... see note) recca (slightly dodge the attack) : hey! domon : moron, where the hell was she aiming at? stupid! kaoru : no! look... domon : miki!!? (neon's attack aims for miki, it reflects off yamabiki, which is kinda like a mirro and reflects back at recca, who dodges, but is hurt on his left arm) recca : [the sound was reflected!] miki (laugh) : are you surprised? this madougu is called yamabiki, I can reflect sound. neon : using miki's high speed capabilities to reflect my sound attacks... there's no way you can escape. (see diagram) one of the reasons I proposed a duo was because... our cooperation is perfect. (tokiya freezes ensui, miki attacks) miki : idaten! (face up close) tokiya : ! miki : you're so cute-- I really want to kiss you. but no... my lips, my face, my body, and my heart... they all belong to my sister-- (hit tokiya) hahah tokiya (falls on his knees, hurt) : uh... recca : [even that idiot mikagami can't see her movements... these two are really sneaky.] neon : hm... they're not that good. miki : that was easier than I thought, sister. neon : are you really kurei sama's brother? what a difference, you're only a stupid little boy... recca (rage) : shut up, he's not my brother! I'm gonna kill him! neon : ahahah.... do you think the same thing in that mansion will happen again? what a fool there is no way you can defeat kurei sama... hokage : [what?] neon : reason number 1... he was only playing around with you last time... he never got serious. if it wasn't for those unexpected dragons, you would've been dead. do you get it? kurei sama only used less than 10% of his power! (recca is intense) then, the second reason... kurei sama's team uruha kurenai is composed of four other members of the jyusshinshuu! kaoru (shaking) : ... neon : kaoru should understand what I mean. other than kurei sama's team, genjuro, jisho etc. and I have a team composed of one jyushinshuu and other normal soldiers. but uruha kurenai is on a completely different level... and the third and most important reason is that... you'll never get past me! (attack) how dare you call me ugly? die! recca! recca (bumps into tokiya again) : ah! you're so annoying, get out of my way! tokiya (vein) : shut up. neon : rhapsody!! (the ground breaks, and sends recca and tokiya flying) recca : ahhhhhh! (the stage collapses and recca and tokiya falls down... the audience is in shock) neon : I told you that this is your grave... now is the time. yanagi (held back by kaoru) : recca! mikagami senpai! let me go! it's all my fault! (the stage explodes under her attack, kaoru and yanagi freezes and someone appears on stage) end of volume 8 chapter 6 translator's note : all of neon's music attacks have different musical vocabulary names... apparently some of those names are not what the author had... so I'm changing them to the right ones, the way they would be in english... is strange, because her attack that she used against genjuro is technically requiem... anyway... I think I'm just getting too technical... when it comes to music theory, that is... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Email | Lynx | Updates | Sign My Guestbook | View My Guestbook ] Search the Net [1]
