Translated by: Yui-chan Edited by: Washuu-chan CHAPTER 7: CHAPTER OF LUDOLA PART 1: ANOTHER DEMON LORD ((Chiaki cradles ZENKI's head in her arms -- ZENKI, whose body was destroyed by the power of Ludola. Sohma slams his fist angrily into the ground. His master shakes with emotion.)) [092-1] Sohma : Damned bastard!! How could you allow yourself to be killed? [092-2] : ((crying)) What about your fight with me... [092-3] Chiaki : It's not so... Zenki can't die -- it's not so! ((ZENKI's head decintegrates into dust, leaving behind only the jewel in his crown -- small, round, and perfect.)) [092-4] Chiaki : !!? [092-5] : What...! Zen... Zenki...... ((The jewel drops to the ground in front of Chiaki, and she cries over it.)) [093-1] Chiaki : Zenki... Zenki is gone... [093-2] : The world's strongest demon lord, Zenki... Foolish and reckless, always cursing... but... ((Her tears fall on the jewel.)) [093-4] Chiaki : I really liked you a lot... ((As if in response, the jewel gives off light!)) [094-1] Chiaki : Huh? [094-2] : This... This light... [094-3] : ((picking the jewel up)) I feel... warmth... [094-4] Master : What is it? Chiaki! ((ZENKI's face becomes visible inside the jewel!)) [094-5] ZENKI : Chiaki! It's me! Can you hear me? [094-6] Chiaki : !! [094-7] : ZENKI!! It's Zenki! [095-1] Master : ((coming near)) What? Sohma : ((leaning in to see)) That's Zenki's voice! Chiaki : He's alive... [095-2] : Zenki's soul is in this jewel... He's still alive! [095-3] Sohma : That damned bastard is still alive! ZENKI : Dork! I don't die that easily! [095-4] : But I can't help it when my body is turned to dust. Hey! Chiaki! Think of some ways to help me! [095-5] Chiaki : ((confused)) Some... ways...? [095-6] : *What should I do? The Great Ozuno is not here...* ((Suddenly, the Bracelet of Protection shoots forth a beam of light, in which the face of Ozuno appears.)) [096-2] Ozuno : ::Blood of my blood...:: Chiaki : Great Ozuno! Sohma : Whoa! [096-3] Ozuno : ::Do not fear if Zenki's body is destroyed by the Light. Up until now, his was a body of darkness, but his soul is composed of the Light. The power of Light begins the process by which Zenki's chain of darkness will eventually be eliminated.:: [097-1] : ::When Zenki is exposed to the Light, he will become the Demon Lord of Light. He will have more power when he becomes the friend of humans.:: [097-2] Chiaki : ((in awe)) The Demon Lord of Light... Transformation and reincarnation... [097-3] Ozuno : ::There is another demon lord I command who has the power to re-create and protect. You need Goki's power. You must find it and fight the evil with it.:: ((With these words, the Great Ozuno disappears.)) [097-5] Chiaki : GOKI!! If I find Goki, then I can bring Zenki back to life! [097-6] ZENKI : ((angry)) Friend of humans? Was he joking!? [098-1] Master : ((overcome)) Ozuno, what a Great Master you are! Able to predict the events of today and tell us about them after your death! [098-2] Sohma : Go... ki? I think... I've heard that name somewhere before... [098-3] Chiaki : ((pouncing Sohma)) Sohma? Are you sure? You know where Goki is? Sohma : Ack... [098-4] Master : On Mount Omine! Chiaki : Huh? [098-5] Master : On Mount Omine there is a band of priests who call them- selves the Five Demons Tribe. We should ask them, they will will know about Goki! [098-6] Sohma : ((snapping his fingers)) That's right! I've seen those guys a few times before! ((Chiaki grabs Sohma's string of juzu beads around his neck and pulls him along at top speed.)) [098-7] Chiaki : Come on then! What are we waiting for -- take me there! Sohma : Gah! ((Later, Chiaki and Sohma head out from Kagekohya.)) [099-1] Master : ((waving bye)) Sohma! Chiaki is depending on you! Sohma : I won't let you down! Master : Chiaki! Bring Zenki back to life and defeat Inugami! Chiaki : We will! [099-2] : *Goki! Yes! There's another demon lord, Goki... Find Goki and fight the evil!* ((Meanwhile, on Mount Omine...)) [099-4] Shinsen : ((chasing after Akira)) Wait up! [099-5] : ((catching him)) Akira! Goki!? [099-6] Akira : What? [100-1] : Big brother? Shinsen : Why did you run off like that? [100-2] Akira : Ah... It was a demon... A demon is calling me! [100-3] : ((shaking)) I couldn't control myself and started running! [100-4] : ((hugging Shinsen)) Big brother, I'm afraid! Please help me! Shinsen : Akira! [100-5] : *What's wrong with Akira? This is the first time something like this has happened... I don't feel right...* ((But back in Kagekohya...)) [101-2] Master : ((barking orders)) Bury the dead and save as many lives as possible! [101-3] Monk1 : Damn Inugami! Monk2 : How dare he do this to our friends! Monk3 : Utterly evil! [101-4] Voice : ((from the woods)) ::Hate!!:: Master : !? [101-5] Voice : ((a deformed Hiki!)) Come... Resent, hate... I need them to heal my body! [101-6] Master : ((seeing him)) The Evil Genbu! Still alive!? [102-1] Hiki : Hate! All your evil words shall become my power! ((All the hateful words spoken by the Kagekohya monks collect in a black cloud that Hiki envelopes himself within. And what comes forth is...)) [103-1] Hiki : EVIL GENBU REINCARNATION!!! [103-2] Master : Is it possible!? [103-3] Hiki : Hahaha! Reincarnation is my other skill! Only my left eye cannot be healed! ((True, where Hiki's left eye was, is now a cross-shaped gouge. His armor is a little more impressive with an all-new snake motif. His fingers are snakes, there are snakes wrapped around his waist and shoulders, and also he's a lot beefier.)) [104-1] Hiki : Zenki! Now I'll kill you... [104-2] : ((to the master and the few remaining monks)) Hey! Where's Zenki? [104-3] : ((grabbing the master and choking him)) I said "Hey!" [104-4] : Where's Zenki hiding, old man? Monks : Great Master! [104-5] Hiki : Tell me, you old bag! Master : ((getting squeezed)) AAAHH! [105-1] : No one... tell him... [105-2] Monk1 : ((shaking)) They... They left! Monk2 : ((eyes squeezed shut)) To Mount Omine! Monk3 : ((scared)) Please, please let the master go! [105-3] Master : ((terrified)) Ah! Fools! Why!? [105-4] Hiki : Hehe! Is that where he is? [105-5] : You are of no further use! Say your final words, and DIE!! Monks : AAAAAAHHH----!! ((Hiki kills them all quickly.)) ((And back on the trail of Sohma and Chiaki...)) [106-1] Sohma : This stone marks the sanctuary of the Five Demons Tribe! Chiaki : Finally! [106-2] : ((running in)) Come on! Let's go find them! [106-3] Voice : ::HALT!!:: ((Two lookouts drop down from the trees and stop Chiaki and Sohma.)) [106-4] Lookouts: No women are allowed to enter this place!! Chiaki : What!? [107-1] : But I'm here for something very important! [107-2] Lookout1: It doesn't matter! There are no exceptions! Sohma : She is your ancestor Ozuno's descendant -- please let us pass! Lookout2: There's no way! [107-3] Shinsen : ((shows up behind them with Akira)) What's the problem here? Lookout1: Ah! Big brother! [107-4] Sohma : Hey! Shinsen! [107-5] Shinsen : Is that... Sohma? [107-6] Sohma : I'm glad you're here -- I can't communicate with these people... It's an emergency! [107-7] Chiaki : I am Chiaki Enno! I've come to find the Five Demons Tribe! [108-1] : Please, you must tell me where Goki lives! I need his power! [108-2] Shinsen : !! Akira : !! [108-3] Chiaki : You must know! Where is Goki? ((ZENKI-jewel, getting impatient, flies out of Chiaki's backpack hollering.)) [108-4] ZENKI : Goki! Where are you? It's me! Zenki! [108-5] Akira : ((fearful)) *That voice... It's the one who called me...* [108-6] Shinsen : ((angry, but scared)) It's Zen... Zenki! [109-1] : ((remembering an old scroll)) When Zenki and a girl appear, it means disaster is coming, and the world may end. Could it be -- that the great Goki's words were true... [109-2] Chiaki : Huh? [109-3] : No way! When Zenki appears, it's to protect people from disaster! Idiots! [109-4] : And to fight the disaster, we need Goki's power! [110-1] Shinsen : Even if it's needed, Goki is no longer alive!! [110-2] : He married a human woman and later died. We are his only descendants! [110-3] Chiaki : Huh? Sohma : What!? [110-3] Shinsen : We have no more ties to the Enno family or to Zenki! Please return to where it is you came from! Sohma : It can't be true... You're lying! [110-4] Akira : It is true! Goki is buried back at the edge of the foothills. [110-5] Chiaki : Goki's tomb... *Zenki was sleeping within a tomb......* [110-6] : ((starting to run, ZENKI-jewel following)) Goki must just be asleep in his tomb, too! [111-1] Shinsen : Wait! [111-2] Lookout1: Shoot! She broke into the area! [111-3] ZENKI : Hurry! Chiaki! Awaken Goki and bring me back to life! Chiaki : You got it! [111-4] Sohma : ((following)) Chiaki! I'm coming! [111-5] Shinsen : ((tossing Akira onto his shoulder and running after them)) Wait! This way, they'll cause disaster! ((Upon reaching Goki's tomb -- a stone marked with his name...)) [112-2] Chiaki : This... This is Goki's tomb! [112-3] : ((pleading to the stone)) Goki! Zenki's in trouble! Please wake up! [112-4] TribeGuy: ((grabbing Chiaki and pulling her away)) Woman, get away!! Chiaki : AHH! [112-5] Sohma : ((slapping Tribe Guys away from her)) Wait! To save the world and everyone in it, we need Goki! TribeGuy: Talk sense! Goki has been dead a long time! [113-1] Shinsen : ((slapping Sohma away)) Hey! It's time for you to leave! [113-2] Chiaki : ((getting dragged away by Shinsen)) Goki! Why won't you wake up? We need your power! [113-3] ZENKI : No, Chiaki! I smell Goki, but I don't feel his power or spirit here... [113-4] Chiaki : ((crying)) It can't be! Goki is sleeping here! [113-5] : Just tell me the way to wake Goki up... Shinsen : There is no way. Now, please leave! [113-6] Akira : *The poor girl... Even though Goki is dead, she's still trying!* [114-1] Chiaki : I don't believe it... Goki! Open your eyes! ((Suddenly, a noise comes from the surrounding woods, and out rolls... the bleeding, decapitated head of Sohma's master!)) [114-4] Sohma : Great... Great Master!! [114-5] : ((taking up the head in his hands)) Why... This... [114-6] Chiaki : Why...? ((Hiki stomps forth, laughing like something's funny.)) [115-1] Hiki : Hey, Chiaki! Seems I've found you. Where is Zenki? [115-2] Chiaki : HIKI!! You're... still alive!? [115-3] Akira : ((running to Shinsen)) A monster! Shinsen : The disaster written of in the ancient manuscript -- is it him? [115-4] Sohma : ((with hate in his eyes)) You... killed the Great Master... [116-1] Hiki : Yes! In order to reincarnate, I'm afraid I had to kill him and your other friends. This black cloud around me also came from their dark words! [116-2] Sohma : Everyone has been killed... You...... [116-3] : ((drawing the Taima Sword and attacking Hiki)) I WON'T FORGIVE YOU!! ((Hiki blocks him easily and sort of punts him off to the side.)) [116-4] Hiki : You can't compete with me! [116-5] Chiaki : Sohma! Sohma : ((trying to get back up)) Bastard! Bastard...... [117-1] ZENKI : Damn you! If I had a body, I'd kill you where you stand! [117-2] Hiki : !! There! In that jewel? [117-3] : ((charging ZENKI-jewel)) Come out of that thing! I'll tear you to pieces! [117-4] Sohma : ((pushing Chiaki out of harm's way)) Look out! Chiaki! ((ZENKI dodges Hiki, whose fist rams into the stone marking Goki's tomb, destroying it.)) [118-1] Hiki : Damn! He escaped... [118-2] Chiaki : ((seeing Goki's exposed tomb)) That's...! [118-3] Shinsen : The tomb has been destroyed and the coffin is open! [118-4] Chiaki : Goki's coffin? Is Goki in there? ((Looking inside, Chiaki discovers the mummy-like corpse of Goki -- about as dead as it can be.)) [118-5] Chiaki : !!? [118-6] : This... [118-7] ZENKI : What!? This is Goki! Chiaki : Then... He's really dead? [119-1] Shinsen : ((crying angrily)) Such disrespect to our ancestor... Akira : ((crying, frightened)) It's scary! [119-2] Hiki : Get out here! Zenki!! ((taking aim on Shinsen and Akira)) BLACK ICE!! ((Several Tribe Guys throw themselves between the attack and "Big brother". The effect of the attack, though...)) [119-5] Sohma : What!? Chiaki : They've been turned into crystals!? [120-1] Akira : Everyone is... Shinsen : Damn! [120-2] : Zenki! Woman... This is all your fault! [120-3] Chiaki : ((hurt)) This... [120-4] : ((overcome, she runs away from them, toward Hiki)) I'm so sorry! I'll go and try to beat him! [120-5] ZENKI : Fool! You're no match for him! [120-6] Hiki : If you don't want her to die, get out of there! ((He launches the Black Ice at Chiaki, but Sohma throws himself on her, pushing her out of harm's way. His foot gets turned to crystal, though.)) [121-5] ZENKI : Hiki! Here I am! -- Goki! I don't care if you're just bones, wake up and lend me your power! ((Akira suddenly realizes something, and runs to Chiaki on impulse.)) [121-7] Akira : I have to help her! Shinsen : What? [122-1] : Goki!! *Oh, no! This isn't like Akira!* [122-2] Hiki : Why won't you get out of that jewel? Zenki!! ((He takes aim on Chiaki again, but this time, Akira hurls himself in front of her, and just as it seems Akira will become a crystal mantle-piece, Hiki's attack strikes -- Shinsen-boh! Only half his body is affected.)) [123-2] Chiaki : Shin... sen! Akira : Big brother! [123-3] Shinsen : Akira! Get out of here... Akira : ((crying... again.)) No! I won't leave you behind! [123-4] ZENKI : Shit! Chiaki : Everyone will be killed this way -- what can we do? [123-5] Hiki : ((reaching for ZENKI-jewel)) Zenki--!! Come out!! [124-1] ZENKI : ((charging)) Damnit! I can kill you even like this! ((The little ZENKI-jewel ball flies up and smacks Hiki in the left eye, earning an "ouch" from Hiki, ricocheting, and then landing neatly in the enemy's hand.)) [124-3] Hiki : Zenki~~~~~~ ZENKI : No... No...! [124-4] Hiki : ((crushing the ball in his hand)) If you don't come out, I'll break this! [124-5] ZENKI : ((beginning to crack)) OOOWAAAH! [125-1] Chiaki : ((while Akira shakes next to her)) No! Zenki's soul... He'll be killed this way! [125-2] ZENKI : ((screaming)) Go... Goki! Please open your eyes and give me your power! [125-3] Chiaki : Great Ozuno! Goki!! Please! Help Zenki!! ((Unexpectedly, Akira screams as if in pain.)) [126-1] Akira : Great ancestor Goki! Give me power! If I am of your blood, please give me the power to fight! ((The eyes of the corpse of Goki glow, and Akira begins to change...)) [126-3] Goki : ::Blood of my blood... Now is the time to awaken!:: [127-1] Hiki : Boy! What do you think you're doing? [127-2] Akira : ((giving off intense light)) LIGHT OF PROTECTION!! [127-3] Hiki : What's... What's this!? ((Hiki is forced back, away from ZENKI-jewel.)) [127-5] Hiki : It pushed me back? This power is even greater than Zenki's! ((A demonic hand catches ZENKI-jewel, and the body attached to it poses dramatically... it is Akira! Transformed into Goki!)) [128-1] Goki : THE DEMON LORD OF PROTECTION, GOKI, STANDS BEFORE YOU AFTER REINCARNATION!! ((Everyone peers on in shock, except Zenki, who's relieved and happy.)) [130-1] Goki : Now that I'm here, you won't be able to kill Zenki! ZENKI : Goki! You're awake! [130-2] Shinsen : Goki...... has become his true ancestor? [130-3] Goki : I am sealed within the blood of my ancestors until a time comes when my new master needs me! [130-4] Chiaki : Aah! Goki was sealed within human blood! [131-1] Hiki : You are the demon lord whose power exceeds Zenki's? [131-2] Goki : ((with ZENKI-jewel hovering just inches above his palm)) Because of my master's will, I am awake... Now, Zenki, it's your turn! ZENKI : Hurry up! [131-3] : Show him my power after reincarnation! GOKI!!! [End of Chapter 7, Part 1.]
