Shulato #11
translation by Arcadia

[OP]

{Narrator} ""Shulato and the others headed for Tenkuuju in order to Save 
Vishnu, who had been turned to stone by Indrah. In order to climb 
Tenkuuju, they had to open the giant Heiseimon gate by activating the 
holy light inside the four temples on Shitentou island. Gai and Ryouma 
fought at Seiryuuden, but Ryouma was no match for Gai's power. At 
Byakkoden, Hyuga tried to awaken the light, but was stopped by Renge. 
Then a vision of Indrah turning Vishnu to stone appeared before them."

{renge} "What the hell... What the hell happened?"

{Vishnu} "Indrah, what are you doing?"

{Indrah} "Turn to stone, Lady Vishnu."

{Hyuga} "This is what I saw at Tenkuuden!"

{Renge} "Sir Indrah turned Lady Vishnu to stone? That can't be! Hyuga, 
what did you do? What kind of trick is this?"

{Hyuga} "I don't know what happened, either."

{Renge} "You made that illusion to try to confuse me, didn't you."

{Hyuga} "No! I didn't!"

{Renge} "Don't play dumb! No matter how many illusions you show me, I'll 
never believe Sir Indrah did that. I won't let you frame Sir Indrah for 
your crime. You may have fooled Ryouma and Reiga, but you won't fool me!"


{Hyuga} "We're the ones who've been framed! What you saw was true!"

{Renge} "You're lying."

{Hyuga} "No, I saw it with my own eyes. I saw Indrah turn Lady Vishnu to 
stone."

{Renge} "Stop it, Hyuga. For the sake of the friendship we once had, stop 
lying."

{Hyuga} "Renge..."

{Hyuga} "The light's been activated? That's it! It knows the truth! 
Renge, you know about the legend of the light?"

{Renge} "What legend?"

{Hyuga} "The holy light is the light of truth. If you want answers, it 
will show you."

{Renge} "Impossible. That's not true."

{Hyuga} "The Sohma I'd sent into the sphere was not enough to activate 
the gate, but it did activate the light of truth."

{Renge} "Liar! Sir Indrah would never do that! It's all an illusion!"

{Hyuga} "You know I can't create illusions!"

{Renge} "Die!"

{Hyuga} "Open your eyes, Renge!"

{Renge} "Shut up!"

{Hyuga} "The holy light will show the truth."

{Reiga} "What?"

{Reiga} "Nice one. Great. I guess all that practice paid off, Kuuya. It 
almost makes me wish I'd practiced more."

{Kuuya} "You still don't take anything seriously, Reiga."

{Reiga} "How could I not take you seriously?"

{Kuuya} "I hope it was satisfactory."

{Indrah} "The Hachibushu fight among themselves, without knowing it was 
me who turned you to stone."

{Renge} "It can't be. It can't. It's a lie. It's a lie!!"

{Kuuya} "We haven't even been able to scratch him."

{Renge} "And he hasn't even shown half his power. He's strong."

{Indrah} "Finished already? That won't do at all."

{Dan} "Damn! We have to beat him or we'll never be Hachibushu!"

{Hyuga} "He disappeared!"

{Reiga} "He's so fast!"

{Hyuga} "I knew it wouldn't work. So now..."

{Dan} "We got him!"

{Renge} "Sir Indrah?"

{Indrah} "You've gotten much stronger, everyone. I hope you'll use that 
strength to protect Tenkuukai as Hachibushu."

"Yes!"

{Dan} "We did it! We did it! He finally recognized us!"

{Reiga} "But it took all six of us to do it."

{Dan} "Who cares? It's still great!"

{Reiga} "Good for us, I guess."

{Renge} "Why did you do something so dangerous, Sir Indrah?"

{indrah} "You saw it?"

{Renge} "Please tell us. Why did you risk yourself just to protect a 
single butterfly?"

{Indrah} "Life is precious."

{Renge} "Life?"

{Indrah} "All life, even that of a little butterfly, is precious. No life 
should be lost in battle."

{Hyuga} "But you protect Tenkuukai with Lady Vishnu. Surely that makes 
you more important."

{Indrah} "Hyuga, Renge, people must live for what they love."

{Hyuga} "What they love?"

{Indrah} "The plants, the animals, the people- I love all of Tenkuukai. 
I'd gladly give my life to protect it."

{Renge} "But... But Sir Indrah, if anything happened to you, I'd..."

{Hyuga} "Renge..."

{Indrah} "Dan seemed very happy at finally succeeding in attacking me. 
Surely you've known such happiness, too, Renge."

{Renge} "Sir Indrah..."

{Renge} "Sir Indrah..."

[eyecatch]

{Lakshu} "Shulato still hasn't awakened and my Sohma isn't enough to 
activate the light. What should I do, Mii?"

{Lakshu} "Come on, Shulato, wake up! You're being mean!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato! You're awake!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Hyuga} "Where am I? What happened? That's right, I have to activate the 
holy light."

{Hyuga} "Renge?"

{Hyuga} "Renge, are you okay?"

{Renge} "Stay away!"

{Hyuga} "The fight's over. The light showed you Indrah's true self."

{Renge} "What does that have to do with anything?"

{Hyuga} "What are you talking about? You saw him yourself! He was evil, 
like a demon!"

{Renge} "Demon? Sir Indrah would even become a demon for the sake of 
Tenkuukai. Yes, even a demon."

{Hyuga} "Renge?"

{Renge} "Do you remember the dark water? Do you remember him trying to 
stop the flood?"

{Hyuga} "I remember. He was a demon even then."

{Hyuga} "Two years ago, dark water threatened to flood Tenkuukai. Indrah 
stopped the water all by himself, with his powerful Sohma."

{Hyuga} "I saw him as we were evacuating the villagers. He looked like a 
demon."

{Renge} "I saw in him a love that was different from Lady Vishnu's."

{Indrah} "It looks like I overexerted myself, Renge."

{Renge} "Sir Indrah..."

{Renge} "His love for Tenkuukai gave him the strength to protect it. He 
loved it so much that he gave no thought to himself. So I know he could 
even become a demon."

{Renge} "No..."

{Hyuga} "You understand now? I don't know what happened to Indrah, 
either, but that's no longer the Indrah we knew. It's just a monster who 
wears his face."

{Hyuga} "Renge?"

{Hyuga} "Renge, you can't be... So that's why you couldn't return 
Marichi's love."

{Renge} "Even Marichi told me my love would never be requited. But I was 
happy just being with Sir Indrah."

{Hyuga} "Renge..."

{Renge} "Hyuga, I'll only ask you one thing. What did you think when Sir 
Indrah stopped the flood?"

{Hyuga} "I had great respect for him."

{Hyuga} "There's nothing I can say to change your mind?"

{Renge} "No matter how Sir Indrah's changed, my heart remains the same. 
For his sake, I can become even a demon or a monster. Let's go, Hyuga!"

{renge} "Sir Indrah, give me strength!"

{Renge} "Nahra Musouka!"

{Renge} "I won!"

{Renge} "What?"

{Hyuga} "Farewell, Renge. TenOh Suishouketsu!"

{Renge} "Sir Indrah..."

{Hyuga} "Renge!"

{Hyuga} "She lived only for her love. Damn you, Indrah! You deserve her 
love!"

{Reiga} "The light? It's coming from Byakkoden. Good going, Hyuga."

{Kuuya} "Renge..."

{Lakshu} "The holy light!"

{Lakshu} "Oops."

{Shulato} "Ouch!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato! You're awake!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu! You were watching over me the whole time? How'd I hit 
my head?"

{Lakshu} "Don't worry about it. Look at that!"

{Lakshu} "The holy light!"

{Shulato} "That's the holy light?"

{Lakshu} "We just have to activate the other three and we can open 
Heiseimon!"

{Shulato} "So I have to activate Genbuden's light."

{Lakshu} "Are you okay, Shulato?"

{Shulato} "I think so. I don't know if I can still fight, though."

{Gai} "That's too bad."

{Shulato} "Gai!"

{Gai} "We finally meet again, but you're in no shape to fight. That's too 
bad."

{Shulato} "What?"

{Gai} "I'm going to kill you, Shulato."

{Shulato} "Gai..."

{Shulato} "Reiga and Kuuya fight at Suzakuden. It looks like Kuuya will 
lose, but Reiga had made a promise to Kuuya's sister. Kuuya, can't you 
understand what Reiga's saying? Don't you see it's the truth? Next on 
Shulato: 'Fierce Battle! A friend found among tears'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
