Tenka: You've heard of them? Hiko: Yeah! Hiko: I heard about them from Bunchuu, The Shisei had helped Bunchuu defeat Dakki once... Tenka: ! Hiko: That was a time before I was born... - Chouka, about 60 years ago, during a time of peace governed by Taitei - [069] Bunchuu: You've caused enough trouble, Vixen! Bunchuu: It doesn't matter if controlling the King of Yin, Taitei, is human or a fox, I will never forgive the scum who harms the Yin Dynasty! [070] Dakki: You're great, Bunchuu! You have such strong friends to help you! Bunchuu: Of course, when facing such a strong enemy such as you, I wouldn't take any chances... Furthermore, you have very powerful sisters and minions! Dakki: ......... You are referring to Kibi and Kijin? Dakki: What so great about the Shisei! Dakki: Kibi... Kijin... I can't handle things on my own...!! [071] Bunchuu: To think that you could create such chaos in the entire empire... I admire your resourcefulness very much, but I cam here especially to stop you! Dakki: Too early for that... Dakki: It's not time for me to die yet. I haven't achieved my goal! Bunchuu: Silence!! What else are you up to!? [072] !! Dakki: Why so impatient? Bunchuu: Eh? Dakki: See you around! [073] Bunchuu: She's gone... Bunchuu: Escaped... Bunchuu: She said "see you around"... I look forward to that! Bunchuu: Vixen! - Kokibi and Oukijin also disappeared at the same time. Perhaps they were taken away with Dakki. - - Since defeating Dakki and her two sisters, Bunchuu and the Shisei became well-known in the Senninkai. - [074] Tenka: Oh... Tenka: So these guys have already gotten rid of Dakki and her two sisters once with Bunchuu... They must be powerful! Hiko: Yes... They are of a higher standard than the others we have encountered so far... Hiko: You must be careful, Taikoubou-dono! Taikoubou: The Shisei of Kuryuu Island.. I heard once that their attacking prowess are quite impressive... [075] Taikoubou: Ah! AAaaaaahhhhh~~~! Taikoubou: Wait... Taikoubou: Wait a minute! I wasn't ready yet... Taikoubou: I said wait a minute!!!! [076] Kouyuuken: Do you really think you can defeat me, Taikoubou... I didn't think you'd actually survive this long... Kouyuuken: You have been greatly shocked by the power of this "Kongenju". This paopei can control the shape of water. Kouyuuken: There is another one floating in the seas of Kingou Island. And this one can create large volumes of seawater. *the other one* Taikoubou: All...all right! I know now! But, I have one question! Taikoubou: I heard that you fought Dakki once before... Since she is our enemy, why don't we join forces to defeat her? Kouyuuken: No! Because you are enemies of Bunchuu-sama, So we are on opposite sides! [077] Kouyuuken: It looks like... it's going to be interesting! It's been a long time since we had such a big showdown! Taikoubou: Ha! Enough talking! Rikouha: Kouyuuken seems to be having a good time... I would like to get some action soon too~! Tenka: Shishu is going to get it this time! Hiko: Yeah! This is too unfair like that! Taikoubou: There's no chance for a counter-attack... [078] Taikoubou: If only we can get closer to him, we would have a chance!! Sipu, follow my directions and fly!! Sipuxiang: Roger!! Taikoubou: Up! OK! Taikoubou: Diagonally backwards!! ok! Taikoubou: Left cos 45 degrees! Left turn 60 degrees! South southeast!! Sipuxiang: Rog...roger... Taikoubou: Up up down down left right left right A B~~!!
