Volume 8 Section a : The Unheavenly War II
(karura-ou appears...)
everyone (surprise) : [karura-ou...!!]
yasha-ou : [why is she here?]
(karura jumps down from the tree that she was standing on)
katen aguni (shock) : you are...... KARURA-OU!! the bushinshou who ended her own life by jumping off the sky city, why are you here!? (karura attacks aguni without a pause)
karura-ou : I came back from hell to defeat tentei taishakuten!! (remembers her sister, and punches aguni)
katen aguni : wha... (falls down... completely over powered)
karura-ou (gathers an energy blast) : karura...... HITENSHOU!! (blast it at aguni)
katen aguni (somehow defended herself, but wounded) : hah... hah... ha...... (looks up angrily) why...... (point to ashura) why are you protecting this kid? are you planning to support ashura-ou's son to defeat tentei and rule over heaven? (starts laughing again, everyone looks at her with detest) hah... hahahah... ashura-ou was defeated by tentei taishakuten-sama. the son of the defeated king cannot win against tentei! all of you will end up being killed. (ashura seems pained) ahahaha, that's good, everyone gets killed. those who oppose tentei taishakuten-sama, no matter who they are, are fools who will pay with death. everyone related to this kid will die. there is no exception. that is what is known as the forbidden clan. as long as he is alive, he will threaten the world of taishakuten-sama. HE IS THE CURSED CHILD! (ashura seems really hurt/shocked)
(karura was about to attack with another blast, but yasha stops her.)
karura-ou : yasha-ou!
yasha-ou (takes out his sword) : I am your opponent. (glare at aguni)
aguni : I'm so happy. I like the handsome ones better. (meanwhile, all her troops are beaten up in the background)
ryu-ou (stepping on a guy) : why don't you just say the western goten are useless idiots! (poor guy that he's stepping on T.T)
yasha-ou (gathering aura) : I won't let ashura be killed. I had sworn to protect him, with ashura, and... ashura-ou! (attack)
katen aguni (attack back) : take this! KAENSEN!! *flaming flash* (but yasha blasts back with an even bigger blast)
yasha-ou : yama! (huge explosion) TENROUKEN!!
(aguni looks shocked, she got slashed right down the center)
katen aguni (falling back) : [im-pos-sible. (dying) how can he slash though the flame...... (looking at yasha in disbelief) strong man...]
(suddenly she grabs her sword and throws it into the air. it burns up in mid air into a fire ball. everyone looks up surprised, the fire ball creates a brilliant flash in the sky that shines very far)
katen aguni : this... is to inform koumokuten-sama of my death. the koumokuten army will soon be here, you can't get away. my only disappointment is that I won't be able to see you become prey to koumokuten-sama's demon sword. just like your brother, that guy rasetsu. (everyone seems shocked, especially ashura and yasha... ashura runs over...)
ryu-ou : ashura, wait!
ashura (runs to aguni's side) : rasetsu!? what about rasetsu!? hey! (jumps on aguni, shaking her)
katen aguni (why's she not dead yet?) : he called himself the ex-yasha-ou's son, so koumokuten-sama killed him. (a little smile) what a stupid man. he knew he couldn't win. you will be... just... like... (dies.. finally)
ashura (looks so sad) : rase... tsu...... died......
yasha-ou (looks sad too, but more calm) : rasetsu......
ryu-ou (seems angry) : koumokuten's army must have arrived at the yasha clan's fortress after we left...... and to stop koumokuten's army from coming after us......
ashura (crying, remembering rasetsu's smile) : yasha...... (remembers rasetsu patting his head) yasha, yasha... (ryu-ou and souma both look sad too) rasetsu was killed......!! (crying, yasha hugging him)
(suddenly a voice behind them...)
shara : rase... tsu......? (they all turn around and realize that shara is there)
ashura : shara......?
shara (seems traumatized) : rasetsu...... rasetsu...... is now...... (falls down to the ground) ......just now...... (she looks horrified) ......... my husband is...... (everyone seems even more surprised)
ashura : shara's husband... is...... rasetsu......?
(shara is kneeling on the ground, covering her face... all these happy memories with rasetsu flashes by...)
rasetsu (flashback, yasha remembers) : I have someone I want to protect. I'm no longer of the yasha clan. not even the god race, just a human. (smiles slightly) as a man, all I have to do is...... to protect the woman I love. avenge our clan, and protect the people important to you. live for the people important to you.
yasha-ou (sadly) : [rasetsu...]
rasetsu : my brother.
yasha-ou (so helplessly) : [I'm sorry......]
ashura (runs over to shara) : shara...... shara...... (crying, does he ever do anything else??? I think I've been tying "crying" a lot lately) I'm sorry...... shara...... I'm sorry...... sor... (sob, sob) it's ashura's fault...... that rasetsu...... I'm so sorry......
shara (looks up, she's not crying, but she looks sad) : I knew...... this day would come one day. (remembers rasetsu and the lamp she carried) when...... when the day comes that he won't return, ......then, when that day comes, I promised him I wouldn't cry...... therefore i...... (smiles sadly) am not crying.
ashura (hugs shara) : shara, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. really...... I'm.......
shara (wipe away ashura's tears) : my husband said to me, "when I cannot return to your side, it will be the time that I die for the ways of my own faith." my husband must have been very clear on his faith. he fought...... for what he believed in. (holds ashura's face in her hands) you have met my husband right?
ashura (sobbing) : I was afraid of him at first, but he told me that it wasn't my fault that everyone of the yasha-clan is dead...... he said I must believe in yasha. he said that he will protect ashura, he told me to believe in yasha's heart...... he smiled at ashura, and patted ashura's head. ashura likes rasetsu.
shara (smile) : thank you. your name is ashura, right?
text : golden eyes, pointy ears, the red lotus flame.
ashura : hn......
text : the war of god who always used to fight, leading the heaven army by tentei's side. now just a legendary clan talked over gossip.
shara : the name ashura is tenkai's greatest taboo...... (looks sad) you must also have a difficult destiny. (silence, then she looks at yasha)
yasha-ou (looks sad) : ...... I'm sorry.
shara : ...... (shook her head) you really are my husband's brother. no wonder I thought you were alike somehow, you were connected by blood......
yasha-ou : if it wasn't for me, rasetsu wouldn't have died.
ashura (quickly) : that's no...!
shara : no, you're wrong. my husband always said it was his fault to force his brother to stay at home. he pushed all of what was going to be his burden on to his brother's shoulders and left. when he meets his brother again, he wants to do everything he can for him. my husband really loves his brother. he seems truly happy when he mentions his brother...... even though he can't return home, he said I will meet his brother one day...... (smiles sadly) it must be my husband carrying out his promise that I was able to meet you.
ashura (crying) : shara......
shara (wipes away her tears and looks up firmly) : the pursuers will be here shortly. my husband kept his horses here, you must leave quickly.
yasha-ou : but...
shara (smile) : my husband gave his life to protect you, so I will do my best too.
ryu-ou : koumokuten's army already know about this place and they'll be here soon. we can't leave you here!
shara (smile) : my husband prepared this place just for me. everything in this house were also all built for me...... therefore I will not leave here. (smile) ashura, you said that my husband had a promise with you. it's the last promise he made, so you better keep it. and also, make a promise to me too.
ashura : what?
shara (hugs ashura) : I really like ashura. (ashura looks really shocked) so... please be happy.
(the gang rides off on the horses, shara waving at them...)
shara : [take care......]
ashura (looking back) : [shara......]
(then the army arrives... behind shara)
soldiers : aguni's signal came from above here. woman, have you seen a man with a child with him? (no reply) hey, can't you answer? rude woman! do you know who is present before you! this is the tentei army's shitennou, commander of the west, koumokuten-sama! (shara glares back)
koumokuten : woman, seems like you know something. you better start speaking for your own sake. (shara smiles slightly and draws out a small dagger)
shara : [the dagger from my husband...... so I can protect myself when I am alone. (flashback of rasetsu giving her the dagger) this dagger...... (looks at it sadly) my husband...... (rasetsu's image fades away) I'm sorry...... I carried out the promise not to cry but...... I cannot keep our other promise. (unsheathe the dagger)]
soldiers : what are you doing! do you plan to fight us with that puny sword!?
(shara points it to herself and cuts her own throat)
text : even though you said that if you won't return I still have to live alone happily, shara cannot be happy without you. (falls down and dies) rasetsu......
koumokuten (seems annoyed) : this...... stupid fool. (draws his sword) do you think your lips are sealed in death? foolish woman. she wasted quite some time.
(he chants some spell and shara's body floats up in midair. koumokuten slashes her body apart)
soldiers : ohhh! that's......
(shara's blood splashes down and ashura's image is reflected, and images of them riding away on horses...)
koumokuten : so this woman is of some use to us...... the traitors retreated toward the south! follow them!
(the army leaves, shara is lying there, her body totally mutilated)
ashura (flashing images of shara) : [shara......]
shara (flashback) : [I really like ashura. therefore, please be happy. (smile) be happy......]
ashura (seems sad) : [shara, I'm sorry. (cries) even if you two can forgive me, it is still all ashura's fault. ashura only knows how to run away.]
yasha-ou (hugs/comforts him) : ashura.
ashura : [because ashura is too weak. if I want to protect the people I love, then I can't always run away. all the people who were nice to ashura ends in misfortune is the punishment for ashura's weakness. ashura must become stronger from now on. (why do I have the feeling he's always saying this?) no matter how painful, I won't run away again. ashura... (looks up determinedly) will fight my own destiny.]
(meanwhile... tenou's taking kendappa on a date ^^;; they rode the flying horse to a beautiful flower field.)
kendappa-ou (smile) : wah... this place is really beautiful.
tenou (helping her off the horse) : I'm glad you like it here.
kendappa-ou (always smiling) : oh no...... I should be. I really must thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place.
tenou : [kendappa-ou......] I'm sorry, it's all because I keep on bringing up our promise that you had to lug this harp here...
kendappa-ou (sits down by the lake with her harp) : oh no, I'm kinda use to it... it's not hard at all. and as a musician, I would need to have an instrument with me at all times.
tenou (innocently) : now that you mentioned it, is zouchouten learning flutes from you? do you really need to have the instrument with you always to improve in practice?
(kendappa suddenly start to crack up really hard *ohohohohoho* ... tenou looks innocently confused)
kendappa-ou (still wiping away tears) : ho... ho... yeah~~ [ah-- this is painful] it's very important that you practice your instrument everyday. (tenou looks at her with sweatdrops) yes...... this harp is an old friend. we've been together forever. (she has a strange smile) it's not only for making wonderful music.
tenou (a bit surprised) : eh?
kendappa-ou : ......... (turned from that more serious face to her usual smile again) well, before we eat, I'll play a song for you as we promised. (she starts to play, and all the birds fly around her and land on her.
text (tenou just watching her *.*) : beautiful musician...... for you, I......
(anyway... back to those on the run...)
yasha-ou (notice ashura is acting abnormal) : ashura...... (reminder, they're still on the horses... ashura wipes away his tears and looks up calmly) [ashura......] (he suddenly hugs ashura closer to him)
ryu-ou : but why is karura-ou......
yasha-ou : karura-ou, you are the master of the sky city, why are you here...... if tentei knows that you are with us traitors, then the karura clan will be in trouble too. and if something happens to your beloved sister......
karura-ou (looks a bit sad) : it doesn't matter. yes, nothing matters anymore. because my sister...... my karyoubinga... is not in this world anymore...... on the day celebrating tentei's reign, after we've parted, when I returned to the city afterwards, I fought that karyou has been taken by tentei's men. I immediately went after them. they promised to return her after the three day ceremony and threatened me with karyou's life. (she looked really sad) and after the three days they promised, she was dead. my sister was singing in front of the entire feast like a display, by taishakuten's orders. her last song...... (ashura looks horrified) karyou's body can only stay in the sky city...... and even so her life is short.
text : karyoubinga only sings for my sister.
karura-ou : she was coughing blood...... and caring for me until the moment she died.
text : only for my sister...... always...... al...... ways...... (image of karyou dying)
karura-ou : but I can't even bring back her body. (seems very pissed off) my sister... karyou's body...... (looks down sadly) taishakuten fed it to his beast. (everyone seems shocked) I couldn't protect karyoubinga. my only beloved sister in the world...... therefore, I want to keep my final promise with my sister. "be free"...... those are her last words to me. (they all got off their horses) I nothing more to worry about, no one can bound me anymore. I will live "freely" as karyou wished. therefore I chose to turn all of my anger into the strength to live. I will choose my own future. it is my choice...... (very forcefully) to challenge tentei taishakuten!
ryu-ou : but... won't the karura clan be in trouble for this?
karura-ou (smiles slightly) : I have died already, there was even a funeral. I used some tricks to not involve anyone else. don't worry.
ryu-ou (sweatdrop) : [fu----neral... that's something new...]
karura-ou : that's right, you are...... (turn to souma)
souma : ...... souma...... I am... souma, karura-ou.
karura-ou : souma...... then you are the souma clan's......
souma (looks sad) : yes. the souma clan was suddenly destroyed by tentei taishakuten one day. I was the only one alive. with kendappa-ou's help...... I stayed with kisshouten-sama waiting for the day I can avenge my people. even a survivor from a clan that tentei ordered to be destroyed will have a hard time shaking off the pursuers. then I would...... like to try to gamble my life on defeating taishaku and asked kisshouten-sama to let me travel together with yasha-ou and the prince. kisshouten-sama took personal risks to achieve my wish, and kendappa-ou gave me the strength to continue living. for myself and the people I loved, I am also here to challenge taishakuten.
(ashura suddenly start to act very strange)
souma : prince!?
ashura : uh......
yasha-ou : ashura!?
(the shuratou suddenly shoots out from ashura's hand.)
everyone : shura-tou!! (the sword has various people's image reflection appear on it)
ryu-ou : the reflection on shura-tou's blade is...... (karura appears) that's karura-ou!? yasha-ou!! souma!! eehhh! (the last one is himself) me!? (pointing to himself in disbelief)
ashura (the possessed version) : ~together... with the remaining one...... forms the "six starts" these are the stars chosen by fate. set like the stars in their orbits.~
everyone (all feel this weird feeling) : [synchronizing!?]
ashura : ~no one will escape their destiny~ (shuratou disappears and he faints)
yasha-ou : ashura!! (go catches him, how typical)
souma (surprised) : I am...... one of the six stars......
karura-ou : what are the six stars?
ryu-ou : it's from kuyo's prophecy. the six stars has to be gathered in order to defeat taishakuten, kujaku is......
karura-ou : kujaku?
ryu-ou (looking around) : ...... he, eh? EH!? that's right, when did he disappear off again? anyway! karura-ou, you're also one of them. but why me? yasha-ou too, souma too. I guess ashura counts too.
yasha-ou : probably...... Six stars fall. Thou art a Dark Star that rises against the Heaven.
prophecy : At the tip of the destiny being woven
Thou shalt thyself foster
As the extinct blood clan dictates
Thou shalt depart with a child
Though neither good nor evil be determined
That child shall move the wheel of the destiny of the Heavenly Kingdom
The gathering of the Six Stars forewarns the end of Heaven
But to the side of the Darkness one will come
Who governs the orbit of the stars and rules both the Dark Star and the Heavenly Star
That one, not even my zodiac can ascertain
The red flame that you nurture
Will burn away all evil
Together, the Six Stars shall overwhelm any and all others and be unconquerable
And---
"You shall become the "Break" that will destroy the Heaven"
ryu-ou : the red lotus flame...... means the flame of maya...... controlled by the ashura clan.
karura-ou : other than the remaining one and ryu-ou, everyone has a score to settle with taishakuten......
yasha-ou (suddenly seems worried) : ryu-ou......
ryu-ou : hm?
ashura (waking up) : uh...... ......what?
yasha-ou (turns his attention back) : are you alright, ashura?
ryu-ou : what do we do now? there's still one more person. didn't you say before, yasha-ou, that when we don't have clues, we'll follow ashura to wherever he goes? so do we let ashura do whatever he wants now?
ashura : ashura... well ashura... ashura...... wants to go to zenmijou. (everyone seems shocked) ashura wants to ask mom, why she wants to kill ashura. how was ashura interfering with her. and then...... I want to ask taishakuten. why did he kill so many people, why did he begin all these wars. what does he get out of making this world full of sorrow. what does he want to protect...... I want to know. ashura wants to ask them myself. (points ahead determinedly) let's go!! yasha! to zenmijou!!
(meanwhile... switch over to tenou and kendappa's "date")
kendappa-ou : it's getting dark already. we'll be scolded if we don't return to zenmijou soon. (tenou is covered in flowers, smiling happily, the words behind him says "so happy")
tenou : thank you for coming here with me today.
kendappa-ou : no. I really enjoyed it. (get up) but we must return soon. everyone must be worried.
tenou (grab her hand) : just a little longer please.
kendappa-ou : ?
tenou : there is something I want to show you. (kendappa looks confused)
(and in the mean time... *I don't know how many meanwhile's I wrote already* koumokuten and his army are not resting until they catch up to yasha)
koumokuten : follow them!! I must kill those traitors with my own hands!
soldiers : yes!
koumokuten : ............ [my life will be in danger if I fail again this time.]
(enters a flashback of a scene he witnessed - a general tried to protect some women and children from being slaughtered by taishakuten in the palace, taishakuten on the throne)
general : taishakuten-sama, please show mercy, as I have been serving you by your side since before the holy wars...... these people are innocent. even in a war, it is against the warrior's code to involve unrelated women and children......
taishaku-ten : ......have ordered.
general : eh......!?
taishaku-ten (looks really scary and calm, holding an energy ball in one hand) : complete elimination..... is I have ordered.
(he kills the general and all the innocent people behind him. then looks at the pile of broken limbs and blood unmoved)
taishaku-ten : clean up.
(koumokuten was watching in the crowd, seems to be taken aback...)
koumokuten : [the result would most definitely be the same even if that was one of us shitennou. that man has no friend of foe, such a frightening man. and even between the shitennou, there is no trust. bishamonten being the same shitennou, sends spies to us. zouchouten is attracted to taishakuten's strength, but he seems doubtful of such cruelty. and then there is the one who even we don't know his true form...... the remaining shitennou...... (someone standing covered in shadow... *hint* why do you think they keep on bring up jigokuten recently... duh, he's gonna come out)
(switch to kendappa and tenou... tenou is leading the way)
tenou : watch your step. we're here. (they're in a flower field) I'm sorry...... please close your eyes. (kendappa does so with a smile... and some time passes...) you can open them now.
(kendappa looks around and is really amazed by the scenery... which is that when the wind blows by, all the flowers flies up in the air)
tenou : I brought you here because I wanted to show you this.
kendappa-ou (happily) : thank you very much. this is wonderful.
tenou (a little embarrassed) : [kendappa-ou...... (picks up a flower and pin it in her hair)]
kendappa-ou (a little surprised) : tenou-sama......
tenou (suddenly blushing furiously) : k... k...... kendappa-ou...... a, actually, I want you to......
kendappa-ou (smile innocently) : ??
tenou (stuttering) : m... my... m, my... (suddenly) to be my wife!! (kendappa looks at him confused) [o... oh no------ (sweatdrops, all red) how did we suddenly jump to this part-------]
(just then they hear some noises and turns around... on the cliff above, ashura and co. just arrived... both sides are staring at each other face to face)
ashura : kendappa... ou?
(kendappa and souma sees each other, both seem glad and concerned... while ashura looks in the other way and sees tenou...)
ashura & tenou : [!!]
(both just stare at each other for a moment and they both seems to have a ringing in their head... past images flash by of ashura-ou dying, taishakuten's rebellion, shashi hugging tenou lovingly, and trying to stab ashura...)
ashura : ashura's...... brother?
tenou (shocked too) : it can't be...... (then looks at the surrounding party) [that is truly...... the bushinshou of the north, yasha-ou!! yasha-ou who is on the run with "ashura" is here......] yasha-ou...... [then that child is......] pointed ears, golden eyes. [the last king of the ashura clan in this world.] then he really is....... my...... twin......
kendappa-ou (very concerned) : souma......
(suddenly they discover that they have been surrounded by soldiers from the cliffs above... the place they are at is like a little valley)
ryu-ou (I think... not sure who spoke... just pretend it's ryu-ou... upon seeing the flag) : they are......
koumokuten (appears also on the cliff above) : I am the commander of the west, koumokuten. I am here to send you traitors down to hell.
ryu-ou (he's still wearing a cloak to cover up his ID) : grrrrr.
koumokuten : it's been a long time, yasha-ou. the strongest bushinshou, yasha-ou of the north, before you can accomplish anything, you will meet your downfall here.
(suddenly ashura steps in before yasha and glares at koumokuten)
koumokuten : [this is ashura-ou's child...... I can feel the same aura as the previous ashura-ou...... truly when he grows up, he will pose a threat to taishakuten-sama's world. interference must be taken care of quickly......]
tenou : koumokuten! that is my......
koumokuten : oh, tenou-sama you're here too. you better return to zenmijou quickly, because this place will soon become a battle field.
(two guys step up... both dressed in armor and holding weapons... they're only here for five seconds, so forget the detail)
man #1 : and am one of the west goten, chiten deeba.
man #2 : and the same, I am kuuten rudora. we will avenge the humiliation of defeat for the other west goten from before, suiten, fuuten and katen.
ryu-ou (looks pissed) : GRRRR~~~~~ annoying------ aren't all the west goten are morons!?
both (rush at yasha and ashura's horse) : yasha-ou! ashura's child! prepare yourself!!
(instead, ryu-ou and karura goes to meet them and kills them within seconds... like I said, 5 second stage time... ryu-ou and karura are both in cloaks to cover their identity, but I guess koumokuten realized...)
koumokuten (alarmed) : you guys are...... ryu-ou's brat!
ryu-ou (taking off the cloak) : guess you found out.
karura-ou (also taking it off) : it can't be helped.
koumokuten : karura-ou!! (sounds surprised) are you also with them!! how dare you......!!
ryu-ou (begins his big speech again...) : now that you know our real identity, it can't be helped----- I'll just have send you all to hell!!
karura-ou (sweatdrop) : ryu-ou......
ryu-ou (continuing on) : and note in addition that I am not some brat but the real ryu-ou!!
koumokuten : kill them!! (urging his soldiers on) kill the traitors!!
kendappa-ou (acting all scared) : tenou-sama!! it's dangerous here, let's return to zenmijou!
tenou (still looking at ashura) : but...... I can't just leave...... he is possibly my separated twin brother......
kendappa-ou : even so the ashura clan is a taboo. even tenou-sama will anger your father if you're not careful. anyway, let's just return now......
tenou (still hesitating) : but......
kendappa-ou (act all innocent and scared T.T) : aren't...... you going to protect me?
arrow (pointing to this ridiculous act ~.~) : big lie.
tenou (troubled) : kendappa-ou......
text : come------on, kendappa is so evil.
tenou : I got it. I'll go get the magic horse.
(the moment tenou goes away, kendappa runs to where souma is)
kendappa-ou (waving at souma from behind some trees) : souma! souma!
souma : kendappa-sama!!
kendappa-ou (grab souma's hand) : don't forget our promise. the promise that you will return to me alive after you have completed your mission.
souma (smile) : yes, it's true, my lord......
kendappa-ou : then, (looks at souma very seriously) : kill every one of koumokuten's army who are here now. kill everyone and do not let a single one escape. if tentei's army knows that ryu-ou and karura-ou has joined the rebellion now, they will come with full force. seal all of their lips before that happens. it's alright, I will take care of tenou-sama. you must stay alive no matter what happens. I cannot allow you to die no matter how many people's blood is spilled, definitely no.
souma (smiles confidently) : I understand. (and disappears... just when tenou arrives with the horse, finding kendappa staring into space)
tenou : kendappa-ou!!
kendappa-ou (still staring at the distance) : [souma......]
tenou : kendappa-ou.
kendappa-ou (runs over to tenou) : tenou-sama, I'm so scared. (innocent look *.*)
tenou : I'm sorry this has frightened you. come, take my hand......
(he helps her on to the horse, takes one last look back at ashura who was looking back at him at the same time)
ashura : [this is ashura's......]
tenou : [this is my......]
text : only brother.
kendappa-ou (notice tenou staring into space) : tenou-sama?
tenou (snapping out of it) : hold on tight.
(the horse spread its wings and flies away)
ashura (eyes follow in their direction) : [that was...... the one my mother wanted, ashura's twin brother...... (as he's spacing out... somebody took the opportunity to attack him)
ryu-ou : ashura!! look in front of you! in front!!
ashura (looks up just in time) : !! (dodged the attack, then blasts his attackers with a fireball)
souma (also looking in the direction of the horse) : [kendappa-ou......]
soldiers (dying, killed by yasha) : gu.........uh... (yasha then points the sword at koumokuten)
koumokuten (annoyed) : grrr. (orders his men) stay back! (takes out this long spear weapon that looks like it's from the medieval time) I will be your opponent, yasha-ou. I will feed you to this demon sword. now we mention it, before I came here, it killed a man who was the last yasha-ou's son. I believe his name was "rasetsu". (yasha looks really angry)
katen aguri (flashback) : just like your brother, rasetsu.
yasha-ou : [so it is rasetsu......]
koumokuten (smiling cruelly... not getting the hint from that really scary look on yasha's face) : your brother was such a cowardly man. after I stabbed him, he was crying and begging for his life. oh yes, it killed a young woman too......... a young, beautiful, human woman...... on the cliff just before here......... she committed suicide because she didn't want to reveal your direction. that foolish woman didn't know it was useless. I obtained the direction you went through her corpse...... I...... broke her body into two, and created the reflection through the blood spilled to find what I wanted. so, yasha-ou.
(I think he gets it by now, because yasha is looking VERY scary... very very pissed off... his eyes are wide open and glowing...)
soldiers : ya... yasha-ou's eyes turned bloody...... (meaning his eyes turned all red)
yasha-ou (draws his sword) : OWWWWWWWW
ashura : yasha!
koumokuten : just come get me!! MASOUGEKI!! (attack)
yasha-ou (slash) : YAMA TENROUKEN!!
(the result is quite groundbreaking... literally... koumokuten created a barrier around himself, but it wasn't strong enough to stand yasha's attack)
koumokuten (barrier breaking) : grr... Wah... (made a cut on his face)
yasha-ou : I will not let you insult my brother. (still up for more, slash again) go to hell!! koumokuten!
(koumokuten falls... but yasha is still standing and not done yet)
koumokuten : uh...... he does deserve to be called tenkai's strongest bushinshou.
ryu-ou (sweatdrop) : amazing......
karura-ou (also surprised) : amazing, yasha-ou, evenly matched with the shitennou...... no...... his sword skills are even above......
souma (surprise) : ......astounding......
koumokuten (gets up) : but I am tentei's shitennou, the general who commands the west. I will not be defeated by a mere bushinshou! come! (summons) hungry ghouls from hell, come quickly and obey me! HYAKKI JIGOKU
(all these monsters appear and surrounds yasha... they completely cover him like the time with the butterflies)
ashura (worried) : AHHHHHH yasha---------!!
koumokuten : you'll be devoured to the bones! yasha-ou!! (point to ashura) and you are next! ashura's child!
ashura : [yasha!!]
(just as everyone take a defense pose... the big blob of ghouls explode)
koumokuten : what? (yasha comes out unharmed) what's this? my hyakki jigoku was defeated.
yasha-ou (ok, so he's not completely unharmed... but no major damage) : how unfortunate, I must defeat you here to avenge all the dead of the yasha-clan. and for my brother rasetsu and his wife shara, I will defeat you. I couldn't protect the yasha clan or rasetsu, however ashura...... I will protect ashura. no matter what! [I had promised rasetsu. not only will I avenge my clan, but in order to protect my loved ones, I will live for my loved ones......] (that sounded strange... but he just means that he'll live out his life so he can protect ashura >.<)
koumokuten : so you're not dead yet, but this time I will send you to hell!! (big blast)
ryu-ou : yasha-ou! I'll give you a hand!
yasha-ou : stand back, ryu-ou.
ryu-ou : but......!
yasha-ou : this guy is rasetsu and shara's enemy. I will get him! (an even bigger blast)
koumokuten (shock) : [what the hell-------! he withstood my attack with those wounds......] waahhh [impossible......! even if you are tenkai's strongest bushinshou, you can't have power that exceeds I who am one of the shitennou...... it can't be......]
yasha-ou (approach him slowly) : I will not die. (a strange air surrounds him)
koumokuten : [his aura...... turned into a whirlpool......]
ryu-ou (looks scared too ^^) : wow......! [duck. (pushing ashura away)]
yasha-ou : in order to defeat taishakuten, in order to protect ashura, I will not die. MEIOU HAYOUZAN!!
koumokuten : WAHHHH!
(super big blast...)
ashura : yasha--------!
(in the middle of this blast/light, koumokuten is totally defeated... his body is something like melting away @.@)
koumokuten (struggling) : m...... my body... is piercing... it's piercing... like it's piercinggggg... this lighttt Ahhhhhhh
(and he lies there dead and melted... actually I think he turned into dust, because in the next panel, the wind blew by and there's nothing left of him...)
yasha-ou (stares at the sky) : [rasetsu...... shara...... I have finally avenged you.]
(last image of rasetsu and shara together, smiling)

yukie's note : now that we know who the six stars are except one... *as if it was so hard to guess before* but anyway, now we know for sure... who do you think is the strongest??? *if you don't want to know who the last one is... don't read the rest of this...* ah well... if ashura transforms, obviously he is the strongest... but he doesn't count... the transformed ashura that is... the six stars only means the untransformed ashura, you'll see why... anyway, so do you think it's yasha??? I sure hope not... I'm rather certain that the last one (the mysterious one) is the strongest... do you want to know who it is? it's kendappa-ou (gee, big surprise) but why is kendappa-ou the strongest!!? aha... I don't think I've read this particular spoiler in any other RG Veda sites... you will find out in the next volume... (well... ok, so I was a bit surprised when I read up to there... since I didn't catch any of the hints from before until I started to translate it)

Volume 8 Section b : The Past
(tenou is in the library reading a book, all the maids come looking for him, he looks a bit younger than he is now)
maids : tenou-sama------- tenou-sama-----------a, where are you-------
tenou : over here! I'm here!
maids (all happy) : ah, great. [we found him.] we finally found you. shashi-sama is looking for you.
tenou : my mother?
maids : they are making your cloth for your birthday celebration. it would be a bit inappropriate if you are not there yourself.
tenou (lonely smile) : ......but i...... don't want these fancy feasts......
maids (surprise) : tenou-sama......
tenou (smile) : but if I don't go, you'll be scolded again. (goes out, leaving the maids there)
maids : tenou-sama...... he's always so kind. tenou-sama is so unlike tentei or shashi-sama. really...... his sword skill can rival his father, yet he doesn't like to fight. and before when he went to the town below, he brought back snacks for us. yes! very delicious fruits! he's very kind to us servants. and he would speak to us...... but tenou-sama (tenou walked to a beautiful part of the garden) always seems so lonely...... he hardly sees his father tentei, and now we mention it, tentei didn't appear at tenou-sama's last birthday feast. nor the one before, nor the one before that...... tenou-sama...... (they all look sad) is so pitiful...... and his mother shashi-sama is beautiful but a very strict woman...... (they seem scared) remember before...... she took out the eyes of a maid who made a mistake...... (shashi holding 2 bloody eyeballs... ewwwww)
(tenou is just walking in the garden and suddenly he hears music)
tenou : [harp melody......? such beautiful music...... who could it......] (he follows the music) ah! (he sees kendappa playing by a pond) [what a beautiful girl...... (he seems very surprised ^^)]
(kendappa stops playing and looks up because she realized someone was there, and sees tenou hiding behind the bushes... ^^)
tenou (all embarrassed and blushing) : u...... uh, I, I'm sorry to disturb you......!
kendappa-ou (big smile *her usual*) : I don't mind.
tenou (embarrassed) : [oh...... right! I have to give my name.] my...... my name is tenou.
kendappa-ou (smile) : then your highness is the princess. I am tentei's musician.
tenou (surprised) : father's...... (look at kendappa's smile) [such an unbelievable person...... once everyone around me find out that I am tentei's son, they all try to suck up and use me. but this person......]
kendappa-ou (looks confused) : ?
tenou : [she doesn't care who I am...... it's the first time...... I met such a person......
kendappa-ou (in SD form, looking at tenou wide-eyed) : what? (tenou shakes his head violently) then can I continue? [tenou nods violently)
tenou (kendappa continues on playing) : [the musician......]
maid (goes around looking for him and spots him) : ah! tenou-sama! so you've been over here. shashi-sama is...... (pulling him away) please hurry!
tenou (realizes...) : ah...... (turn around) what is your name!!
kendappa-ou (smile) : I am the lord of the kendappa clan, my name is kendappa-ou.
tenou (blush, then gets pulled away, smiling) : [kendappa-ou...... kendappa-ou...... what a beautiful person...... I hope I can meet her again......]

Volume 8 Special Presentation : Reverse Discussion
(ashura dressed as a reporter holding a mic is the narrator of this piece...)
ashura : everyone, good day. koumokuten's unexpected retirement results in this spectacular immediate announcement of "royal battle of the century at zenmijou, six stars vs. tentei." (waving) [camera man, over here!] today I, the storm reporter (as in storm trooper T.T) ashura-chan will have everyone comment on the prediction of the direction the battle will go. (first to ryu-ou who is in a suit and sunglasses)
ryu-ou (acting cool) : you've got the right person.
label : rookie bushinshou, ryu-ou san
ryu-ou (as ashura listens with a sweatdrop) : a ring has been prepared in zenmijou, yasha-ou and I will be fighting in this square jungle and of course I will easily be victorious. [well, supposedly] (going on and on) then I ryu-ou will take over yasha-ou as "tenkai's strongest bushinshou"......
ashura (goes away ignoring him) : [next, next.] .........
ryu-ou (still going) : and that's how it is.
(meanwhile, ashura listens with another sweatdrop at karura-ou's version)
karura-ou (*.*) : when I go to zenmijou, karyou is there.
label : sou-ou karura-ou san
karura-ou (goes on dreamily) : she tells me "I'm actually not dead" and the two sisters lives on happily ever after......
ashura : [WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE FIGHT?!]
(next...)
label : gardener souma-san
souma (surprised) : eh? asking me? I...... eh...... uh, everyone defeats that evil tentei and everybody in tenkai lives on in happiness...... (and looking shy) and I will return to kendappa-sama's side, I'll cook for kendappa-sama...... and kendappa-sama will sometimes play harp for me......
(ashura has this really annoyed look and huge sweatdrop)
label : the court musician kendappa-ou san
kendappa-ou (wide eyed) : what will happen later!? who cares as long as souma is happy. is there anything else important?
ashura (veins... a very annoyed forced smile) : very----- clear and simple------- (looks like he's gonna kill somebody)
tamara (koumokuten's daughter, that annoying brat grabs the mic from ashura) : I'll tell you what's gonna happen in the future! (pushes kendappa aside, and tenou runs up to catch her) I will get married with tenou-sama and make kendappa-ou our maid! [the maid! (doing the ohohohoh laugh)]
ashura (very bluntly) : but koumokuten is dead.
tamara (runs off into the background completely traumatized) : my position and name~~~~
tenou (blushing) : anyway...
label : prince tenou-sama
tenou : everyone will be living happily and then kendappa-ou and I......
kendappa-ou (confused look) : ??
ashura (vein) : [everyone only thinks about themselves.]
yasha-ou (suddenly in the background) : I think it'd be good if ashura grows up sooner. (ashura freezes, and even bigger close up) I think it'd be good if ashura grows up sooner. (you see a huge sweatdrop on ashura's head... and POWWWWW sends yasha flying away)
ashura (back to smiling) : as for a-chan----- I go to zenmijou and see food piled in mountains------- and then they tell a-chan that I can eat it all, so ashura feels very happy------
ryu-ou (on the side) : I can understand mountains of enemies, but mountains of food--------- is 100% impossible.
(and as ashura is beating him up for saying that... kujaku mysteriously appears... again ~.~ and smirks mysterious... and looks mysteriously... everyone suddenly surrounds him)
ashura : w...... what's with that smirk! do you know something!?
everyone : kujaku!
(then you see kujaku running into the background still laughing with a whole bunch of people chasing after him)
people : wait~~~~ if you know something, tell us the ending---------
ashura (point the mic to you) : everyone, what do you think?
