Copyright Kikuhide Tani. ***Summary of Kishin Douji ZENKI manga book 4 - Chapter 6, Part 2.*** http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/1343/ Version 1. September 2, 1999. Translated by: Yui-chan Edited by: Washuu-chan CHAPTER 6: CHAPTER OF INUGAMI PART 2: LUDOLA - LIGHT OF DEATH ((Hiki stands before ZENKI, Chiaki, Sohma, and Sohma's master in the Temple of Kagekohya as the Evil Genbu.)) [050-1] Hiki : Don't you see? This is the power of "exchange." This is my true form! ((Note: By the power of "exchange," Hiki refers to the power of language, communication, speaking, etc. The Evil Genbu's power comes from "the soul of language.")) [050-2] ZENKI : The Evil Genbu... Chiaki : Wh... Why? [050-3] Master : What? [050-4] : The Seed is gone... The "exchange" he mentioned... [051-1] Hiki : Yes! When Zenki struck me... ((Cue flashback... Only this time, from Hiki's point of view.)) [051-2] Hiki : What's this? The Seed? [051-3] : I summon the soul of language and make the evil power of "exchange" mine! [051-4] : ((transforming)) MUAHAHAHA! [051-5] : Enter my body! Give me the power! I am the Great Genbu! ((End of flashback.)) [052-1] Hiki : I have transcended humanity and become a god. No one who sees this form shall live to tell about it! Haha... [052-2] ZENKI : All talk! To me, you just look like a fat turtle. ((Note: In Chinese legend, the god Genbu was a giant turtle.)) ((Now, Hiki's pissed off. He calls forth two attacks and unleashes one through each hand, launching them at ZENKI. ZENKI counterattacks with the power of Lightning. Hiki's two attacks pass easily through ZENKI's one, and they slice and dice the demon lord's skin and knock him back a couple dozen yards.)) [054-3] Hiki : These creatures are my Knife and Spirit!! ((Knife and Spirit pose for Team Zenki. Both are armored creatures. Knife has razors for limbs and Spirit is a serpent with two rows of spikes running down its back.)) [055-1] Chiaki : The spell turned into monsters!? [055-2] Sohma : How could a human do this? Master : He uses incredibly evil power! [055-3] ZENKI : ((getting back up)) Damnit! He's completely different from before... [055-4] : Chiaki! Give me all of the Vajra Horn's power! [055-5] Chiaki : All!? ZENKI : Yes! I'll need the Vajra Horn's greatest power to kill him! [055-6] Hiki : Haha... You depend on the girl... What damage could you possibly do? [055-7] : ((sending Knife and Spirit after him again)) I'll kill you quickly! [056-1] Chiaki : ((concentrating)) *Reciting the spell is not enough... I'll give you the Vajra Horn with all my power and spirit...* [056-2] : SUPER VAJRA HORN!! [056-3] ZENKI : AAAAHH! ((Chiaki infuses ZENKI with this great power, and in an explosion of light, ZENKI reappears with Vajra Horns growing out of just about everywhere -- from his fists, his elbows, and even his shoulder guards!)) [058-1] Sohma : Whoa! Six Horns! And his body is healed, too! [058-2] Chiaki : ((collapsing into Sohma's arms)) I... I did it... Sohma : Worn out... ((ZENKI stands ready. Just as Knife and Spirit come close enough, he charges up and zaps them with an electricity shooting out from his entire body like a sphere. They scream, decintegrating.)) [060-1] Hiki : A magnetic field... Are you trying to disspell my work? [060-2] Sohma : Excellent! Go Zenki! [060-4] Master : Yes, in order to fight Inugami... This is the power we need! [060-5] ZENKI : See? This is my power! [060-6] Hiki : Haha! Then it's only fair I show you mine! [060-7] ZENKI : *What is he gonna do?* ((Hiki strikes ZENKI's lightning sphere with a multitude of impossibly fast punches, executed by a barrage of fists protected with small turtle shells. These fists beat their way through ZENKI's sphere and smack the snot out of the demon lord. Finally, one of the fists grabs ZENKI by the neck and lifts him off the ground. Two other fists hold his arms. All these hands are coming out of Hiki's armor!)) [062-3] Hiki : I've decided not to kill you so soon. The fun has only just started! ZENKI : What... [062-4] Chiaki : Zen... Zenki! ((Hiki casts another spell, a small black cloud that becomes larger and crashes up into the sky.)) [063-4] Sohma : An evil cloud! [063-5] Master : This evil power is too strong! ((Hiki ascends, following the dark cloud, still with ZENKI in his wicked clutches.)) [064-1] Hiki : I'll take you to the place you shall die... But we will have much fun before then! [064-2] : Hahaha! [064-3] Chiaki : Zen... Zenki! [064-4] Hiki : ::Garbage on the ground! When I am through with Zenki, it's your turn!:: [064-5] Sohma : ((angry)) Garbage...? [064-6] Chiaki : *Shoot! I can't help Zenki if he's away from me!* [065-1] : ((casting a spell over the Bracelet)) Zenki! I summon you! ((Nothing happens. Chiaki falls to her knees.)) [065-3] Chiaki : What? ... Zenki didn't appear... I can't... I can't help him... [065-4] : ((trying not to cry)) Hiki's power is too much stronger than mine! What can I do... [065-5] Master : ((troubled)) I thought our power in addition to Zenki's would be enough to destroy the evil... [065-6] : ((resolved)) Chiaki! You must gain new power and another friend now! [065-7] Chiaki : New power... And another friend...? ((Meanwhile... "Mount Omine"...)) [066-1] Lookout1: Look! There, towards Kagekohya! Lookout2: Dang! What IS that cloud!? [066-2] Lookout1: Shinsen-boh! There are strange dark clouds over Kagekohya! Shinsen : What? [066-3] : Kagekohya, whose monks keep the world at peace... What could have happened? [066-4] Li'l Boy: ((crying)) Big brother! I'm afraid... Shinsen : Don't worry, Akira! No one can pass into these mountains. [067-1] Akira : But... But... It's scary! The strong evil smell! [067-2] Shinsen : *Why is this kid always afraid? Even though he will one day become our leader...* [067-3] : *But he's right. Something is wrong. I don't feel good either.* [067-4] : *As the descendant of great Ozuno's servant, the demon lord of protection, Goki... I hope that no disaster will befall the Five Demons Tribe...* ((Back in Kagekohya...)) [068-1] ZENKI : We are above the cloud... Hiki : Correct. This is the place where you shall die. [068-2] ZENKI : ((grinning)) Don't be so sure. ((ZENKI attacks Hiki with the Diamond Horn of Vajra on his right fist, but it shatters on contact with Hiki's tortoise shell shoulder guard.)) [069-4] Hiki : HAHAHA! My shell is like that of the Great Genbu -- it is the hardest substance in the world! [070-1] ZENKI : Well, then... Try this! It can CUT anything in the world! ((ZENKI sprouts a Diamond Blade of Vajra from his left elbow and goes after Hiki with the same effect. This time, however, Hiki takes hold of the Vajra Horns on his right elbow and left fist and tears them out. Insulted, Hiki crushes them, like peanuts in a nut-cracker, in his fists. ZENKI, hating being looked down upon, explodes again with electricity and flies at Hiki with his last pair of Horns, calling for the power of lightning. Hiki disappears into his armor, though -- just like a turtle! The shell smokes a little and Hiki comes back out.)) [074-1] Hiki : What a cute little trick!! [074-4] : You didn't even singe my hair, though! ZENKI : Damn! It didn't work... [074-5] Hiki : The game is over now! ((Hiki shoots out several of the arms from before -- more like tentacles -- which now have sharp ends. All six of them pierce ZENKI's body and hold him up in front of Hiki.)) [075-3] Hiki : Foolish demon lord. You really should judge yourself better before trying to fight. [076-1] : ((taking hold of ZENKI's head)) The tale says that if I behead the demon lord, he will die! So, then, I guess I'll just behead you! ((Hiki digs his nails into ZENKI's head and tries to pull it off, but ZENKI grabs hold of Hiki's arm with his two wounded hands.)) [076-4] Hiki : What's this? [076-5] ZENKI : Idiot... I'll never die! You are the fool if you believe that! [076-6] : I still have the final deadly technique of Light... "LUDOLA"! [077-1] : *The power of light which could kill me... If I don't control it. But even though it will place me in danger...* [077-2] : *I can't die right now!* It will kill you! [077-3] Hiki : How interesting... [077-4] : Well, then, let me see your Light power. Or shall I behead you first? Do you want to try it? [077-5] ZENKI : ((head getting crushed)) AAAHH!! [077-6] Hiki : Hey! You better hurry! If you don't use your final deadly technique of Light now, you'll be too dead to show me later! [077-7] ZENKI : GRRR! [078-1] : *I can't die... Not before I kill that damned Inugami!* [078-2] : Lightning! I summon you! Become a part of me! Become the Light that Destroys the Dark! [078-3] : GO!! [079-1] : LUDOLA!! Hiki : What--What is this!? ((ZENKI bursts with the Light of Ludola, forcing Hiki away. It absorbs the black cloud.)) [081-1] Sohma : This... This light... [081-2] Chiaki : It's Zenki! It must be Zenki!! ((One beam of light strikes the ground below, slamming a half-scarred and destroyed, but not dead, Hiki into a crater of earth.)) [082-4] Hiki : I... I... [082-5] : Zenki, you... [083-1] : You dare to hurt me like this... I'll never forgive you! After I've cured myself with this dark spell, I will kill you! ((ZENKI floats gently back to earth, a light wind blowing his hair, a blanket of light making him look like a creature sent from heaven. He lands with all the grace of a butterfly...)) [083-3] Chiaki : Yeah! Zenki... Zenki won! ((ZENKI's eyes are empty, his body still glowing. He looks as though he is about to drop...)) [084-1] ZENKI : I will never die... Never... ((He falls back...)) [084-2] ZENKI : Right...? Ozuno, you old bastard... [084-3] : Go... ki... ...... ((...And shatters, as if he were made of delicate glass.)) [084-4] Chiaki : ((wide-eyed)) Huh...!? ((Everyone looks on in pure shock for a moment...)) [086-1] Sohma : This... Zenki... He... [086-2] Master : Zenki... has died? [086-3] Chiaki : No... NO! ((Chiaki falls to her knees in front of Zenki's shattered, glowing body. She takes up his head, which is more or less the only thing still in one piece and cradles it, crying on it.)) [086-6] Chiaki : It's not so! How can this be... IT'S NOT SO! [087-1] : NO! I WON'T ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN---- ((But the Light of Ludola is still visible, even on Mount Omine...)) [088-1] Shinsen : What is this light? Guy1 : What's wrong in Kagekohya? ((Akira looks up at the Light and suddenly grabs his head as if someone smacked it with a wooden post.)) [088-4] Akira : Huh...? Shinsen : Akira! [088-5] Akira : Someone... calling... [088-6] Shinsen : ((as Akira walks purposefully toward the Light)) What? What is it? Akira! [089-1] : ((on impulse)) Goki!? ((Akira stops and turns.)) [089-3] Akira : Calling... Someone is calling for me! [End of Chapter 6, Part 2.]
