Copyright Kikuhide Tani. ***Summary of Kishin Douji ZENKI manga book 4 - Chapter 7, Part 2.*** http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/1343/ Version 1. September 6, 1999. Translated by: Yui-chan Edited by: Washuu-chan CHAPTER 7: CHAPTER OF LUDOLA PART 2: SUPER POWER - ZENKI REBORN!! ((Chiaki, ZENKI-jewel, Shinsen, Sohma, and Hiki have all just witnessed the rebirth of Goki through his ancestor Akira's body. Goki holds ZENKI- jewel, which contains ZENKI's soul, protectively. It's now ZENKI's turn to be reincarnated, and Goki has the power to make it happen.)) [134-2] Chiaki : Great--! Goki's awake!! [134-3] ZENKI : Goki! I can't wait any longer! Bring me back to life! [134-4] Hiki : "Goki"? A demon lord even stronger than Zenki? [135-1] Goki : ((grinning)) The true Zenki is much stronger than I am! [135-2] Hiki : Enough talk! I'll send both you and Zenki to Hell! ((taking aim on Goki, who stands in front of Chiaki)) BLACK ICE!! [135-3] Chiaki : Oh, no! [135-5] Goki : SHIELD OF PROTECTION!! ((Goki's shield repels all of Hiki's little "Black Ice" thingies.)) [136-2] Hiki : What's this? A shield? [136-3] ZENKI : ((impatient)) Quit playing with the bad guy, Goki! Bring me back to life! Goki : OK! [136-4] : ((casting)) Changed Life Advent!! I summon the Five Great Elements!! ((Five spheres, representative of the "Five Great Elements" -- air, wind, fire, water, earth -- burst forth from a light at Goki's chest. They land in a circle on the ground before him, and each one connects to the other, creating a pentagram barrier.)) [137-4] Chiaki : ((in awe)) This... is... [137-5] : The sacred pentagram barrier! Zenki can only come to life inside this!! [138-1] Goki : ((concentrating on maintaining the shield)) Master! Please place the Bracelet of Protection in the center of the pentagram, and set the jewel inside the Bracelet. [138-2] Chiaki : Done! [138-3] Goki : Now, concentrate and think about the demon lord Zenki -- use the power of your mind! ((Editor's note: If they want to get something done... should they really be relying on the power of *Chiaki's* mind?)) [138-4] Chiaki : Me? [138-5] Goki : Yes! You are Zenki's master... Only you can do it! [138-6] Chiaki : I understand! [139-1] : ((kneeling in front of the jewel and concentrating as well as someone like Chiaki can...)) Zenki... Zenki... [139-2] Hiki : What are you doing in there!? ((Hiki pounds on the shield and is shocked when he doesn't smash it to itty bitty pieces.)) [139-4] Goki : My shield is not so easy to break... [139-5] : ((his fingers doing charms)) *But to keep it up and him out, I have to hold this!* [140-1] ZENKI : Hurry it up, Chiaki! Chiaki : I... I'm trying, but... [140-2] Goki : Master! Think of the foundation of spells! [140-3] Chiaki : *The foundation of spells... Is prayer!* [140-4] : ((praying)) Zenki! My Zenki! The world's strongest demon lord! Please, I beg you to awaken! Protect this world! [140-5] Hiki : ((peeved)) You brat! ((Hiki, miffed, turns his arm into a cannon -- don't question that. It's just a big, nasty, black-beam shooting cannon.)) [140-6] Hiki : ((launching)) This has to work! [141-2] : This bomb is composed entirely of evil! It can break down anything! ((The evil ball drills away at Goki's shield, causing it to crack -- but it doesn't stop.)) [142-1] Hiki : It's broken through! [142-2] : Die! This will kill you! ((It charges toward Chiaki, who is still praying.)) [142-4] Goki : Master! *No! There's no time!* [142-5] Chiaki : ((crying)) Zenki! I'd give my life for you if that's what you wanted -- If you'll please just awaken!! ((A beam of light shoots out of Chiaki's chest, striking the jewel sitting in the center of the Bracelet of Protection -- ZENKI begins to reform just as Hiki's big black ball of evil catches Chiaki's attention.)) [143-4] Chiaki : !! [143-5] ZENKI : ((reforming)) CHIAKI---- I'VE RECEIVED IT -- YOUR LIGHT OF LIFE!! ((Still just a glowing, naked figure, ZENKI bats the big bad ball away from Chiaki, and commences with his reincarnation -- ribbons of Light wrapping around his studly naked bod to form new armor!)) [144-3] Hiki : What!? What is this... [144-4] Chiaki : ((amazed)) Ah! [145-1] ZENKI : HORN OF VAJRA-- [145-2] : LIGHT!! [145-4] : LIGHT OF INTELLIGENCE!! ((Note: Chiaki's name means "little light." The name "Chiaki" is generally given to mean "intelligence." Editor's sub-note: I love a good irony...)) ((A new Vedic symbol glows in his jewel, and before them all stands...)) [146-1] ZENKI : SUPER DEMON LORD ZENKI!!! [147-1] : WELCOME THE DEAD!! ((Another note: In Japanese, this would be "Chou-kishin Zenki!!! Raigou Shourin!!" and Raigou Shourin is tricky business. Raigou is the coming of the Amida Buddha to welcome the spirits of the dead, and Shourin is a sacred resting place. Sooo, if you wanted to be REALLY picky, "Welcome the Dead!!" would actually read: "The Amida Buddha has come to welcome the spirits of the dead from their sacred resting place!!" Unnecessarily long, don't you think? Editor's other sub-note: Translator informs me that the Chinese translation is simply "Welcome to the Great Attendence!!" Life is simple. Life is good.)) [148-2] Chiaki : ((still crying)) *Zenki's alive! And he's become the Shining Demon Lord ((Note: Demon Lord of Light))!* [148-3] Sohma : Cool, man! Shinsen : That... is Zenki? [148-4] ZENKI : HIKI! SORRY YOU HAD TO WAIT SUCH A LONG TIME! [149-1] Hiki : What is this? How is this possible? [149-2] : I thought you were just another of the puppets Ozuno created... [149-3] : How can you reincarnate... That would mean you have a body and a soul and are an immortal God? ZENKI : Ha, ha... [149-4] : Yes! I am a protector, but I am also a demon lord in possession of his own ideas and life! [150-1] Hiki : *He owns a body, has a soul -- then he is like Lord Inugami's Kokutei? This... Zenki and Goki... are a threat to Lord Inugami!* [150-2] : ((charging ZENKI)) If you come back to life... I will simply kill you again!! ((Hiki strikes at... nothing!)) [150-5] ZENKI : ((behind Hiki)) You're too slow. [151-1] Chiaki : ((testing her eyes)) So... So fast! I didn't even see Zenki move! [151-2] Hiki : Don't be so cocky! ((Hiki tries to smash ZENKI's face in with his powerful arm, but ZENKI stops him -- with a single finger! Revenge is so sweet...)) [151-5] ZENKI : Have you used up all of your powers already? ((ZENKI launches Hiki into some near-by trees with the power of his index finger.)) [152-3] Hiki : What!? With just one finger... [152-4] Chiaki : YAH--- GREAT! GREAT! [152-5] Sohma : It will be even better when he fights Inugami! [153-1] ZENKI : HIKI!! [153-2] : You've done too much killing. And... [153-3] : A normal human being like you believes he can kill me!! You won't be forgiven! I'll send you straight to Hell!! [153-4] Hiki : ((changing)) That's what you think! Evil Genbu - Power of Exchange! ADVENT OF THE GOD OF EVIL!! [154-1] Chiaki : What is this... coccoon? ((The coccoon explodes, and from it emerges...)) [154-3] Hiki : DEMON GOD EVIL GENBU KING ((He's sleeker and slimmer, that bulky armor has either become his skin, or is just very form-fitting. His limbs and fingers are extremely long, which is sort of disturbing.)) [155-1] Chiaki : ((gasp!)) He... He changed again! Hiki : I have never had to use this form before... [155-2] ZENKI : ((unamused)) At last, your final form. [155-3] Hiki : This is my very final form. I have condensed all of my chi. [155-4] : ((fading out of view)) And I am 10 times faster! [155-5] : ((buzzing around ZENKI, seemingly invisible)) Witness this speed!! Chiaki : Ah! I can't see him move! ((ZENKI easily dodges a couple of his lightning-fast attacks by tilting his head to one side.)) [156-2] ZENKI : Hmph. Is this the fastest you can go? ((In a quick move, ZENKI punches Hiki right in the face, stopping him!)) [156-4] Hiki : ((knocked back)) What? You could see me!? [156-5] : Well, then... ((Hiki punches the earth, calling forth "all the evil hiding under the ground." Spikes shoot up, piercing every part of ZENKI.)) [158-1] Hiki : It's finished. [158-2] : !!? What? His body is disappearing!? [158-3] ZENKI : ((really behind Hiki)) Fool! That was my shadow! [158-4] : ((punching Hiki, who defends with his arm)) DIAMOND FIST!! [159-2] Hiki : Nothing can break through my shell! [159-3] ZENKI : Oh, really? ((Cue Hiki's arm exploding.)) [159-5] ZENKI : I was reborn from Chiaki's life. The power of Diamond Vajra is now inside my body! [160-1] Hiki : ((casting)) Try this, then!! [160-2] : ((launching)) Super Pressure of Dark Evil Power!! ((It's like gravity... only EVIL. It doesn't even get close to Chiaki and Goki, but still manages to slam them up against a tree. The spell annihilates the whole pretty forest around it, and makes its way straight for ZENKI.)) [161-1] Chiaki : Ouch! Goki : This pressure! [161-2] ZENKI : Bastard! Do you want to ruin everything here? ((ZENKI calls on Vajra, yea verily once again, and this time, a spiral of ribbons shoots out from aroung his armor, twisting around the evil gravity thing and rerouting it towards space. Hiki is duly worried about this. The ribbon becomes a chain, and ZENKI pulls it back down to earth -- at the end of it, however, is a new attachment! The Diamond Axe!)) [162-2] Chiaki : Ah! His clothing became chains! [162-4] ZENKI : ((holding it out for everyone to admire)) This is my newest Vajra weapon! [162-5] Hiki : ((sweating)) What? [162-6] ZENKI : Let's try it out!! ((ZENKI throws it, charged with Lightning, at Hiki, yelling "DEMON PHOENIX CRY!!!!" They use a whole page for that. It's really pretty. The axe slams into Hiki's stomach and electrocutes him, and he screams really loud. And of course, just before he explodes and dies, he says...)) [165-1] Hiki : ((decintegrating)) How can I... I... be defeated!? ((Boom. Bye-bye, Hiki. ZENKI grins big and poses.)) [166-1] ZENKI : See this? It is the combination of the power of Vajra and my power of Lightning! [167-1] Chiaki : Excellent!! ((The effects of Hiki's "Black Ice" melt away, and those who were once crystal are human again! Sohma's leg, Shinsen's right half, the extra Tribe Guys...)) [167-4] Goki : Zenki! Thousand years -- no see! [167-5] ZENKI : ((pouting)) Feh! If possible, I don't really want to borrow your power... [168-1] : ((turning and smiling)) But you helped me a great deal -- thanks! [168-2] Goki : ((smiling)) Heh! *Just like a thousand years ago... He hasn't changed a bit.* [168-3] : ((putting a new Bracelet on Chiaki's wrist)) Master! Wear this Bracelet. We have to use its power to help Zenki, so it's a bit twisted. ((The Bracelet has within it two magatama, which, joined together, look like the Chinese yin/yang. Goki notices that Chiaki does not answer -- she is staring at ZENKI, who is putting his nifty new toy away.)) [168-6] Goki : Master? [169-1] ZENKI : ((getting stared at)) Er? [169-2] : What is it, Chiaki? ((Chiaki's eyes swell up with tears and she smiles. She runs to ZENKI and hugs him, crying happily -- ZENKI just sort of lets her.)) [169-4] Chiaki : ZENKI!! [170-1] : *Zenki!! The world's strongest demon lord... You're finally back!* [171-1] Goki : *Master! Zenki is back... But we must continue to fight the evil in this world.* [171-2] ZENKI : *Goki has awakened... And I have become the Super Demon Lord!* [171-3] : Inugami... I will beat you all for sure!! ((Meanwhile, at night, in the evil apartment highrise of Inugami...)) [172-3] Shinkoh : ((gazing into her crystal ball, seated across from Inugami)) Inugami! The vision disappeared! [172-4] Inugami : ((troubled)) One of my Four Heavenly Kings has been crushed like an ant... [172-5] Voice : ((fading in behind Inugami)) ::How very interesting...:: [172-6] Inugami : ((smiles suddenly)) Chimaru -- You're back! [173-1] Chimaru : The demon lords Zenki and Goki... Lord Inugami, allow me -- the Evil Suzaku of your Four Heavenly Kings -- the pleasure of dealing with them! ((Chimaru, dressed all in black, only his sharp, piercing eyes and blonde hair visible... slowly pulls down the mask covering his nose and chin... to reveal a pair of vampire fangs and a devilish grin.))
