Shulato #17
translation by Arcadia

[OP]

{Narrator} "Tenkuukai, a mysterious paradise world. Hidaka Shulato, a 
high-school student, and his best friend, Kuroki Gai were transported to 
this world to become ShuraOh Shulato and YashaOh Gai of the Deva army's 
Hachibushu. However, Raitei Indrah, the general of the Deva army, 
commited an act of treason. He turned Vishnu, Tenkuukai's protector, into 
stone and blamed it on Shulato. Also, Gai had somehow become Indrah's 
servant, and tried to kill Shulato. In order to defeat Indrah and save 
Vishnu, Shulato and his four friends head from Tenkuukai's palace, 
Tenkuuden. After much hardship, they managed to reach Tenkuuju, on top of 
which sites Tenkuuden, but Indrah summoned a new enemy to stand against 
them."

{Title} "A Sorceress! The Terror of the Red Flowers"

{Lakshu} "How pretty!"

{Hyuga} "I was worried that Tenkuuju would be dying, since Lady Vishnu 
was turned to stone, but this place looks okay."

{Shulato} "Is there something special about this lake?"

{Hyuga} "This lake was created by the overflow from the rest of 
Tenkuuju."

{Ryouma} "They call this area 'Riga', the food of the earth-god."

{Shulato} "Well, I'm thirsty."

{Shulato} "There's no taste."

{Hyuga} "Tenkuukai's water is pure."

{Shulato} "You'd think the earth-god would want his food to taste like 
something."

{Lakshu} "Look! Over there!"

{Hyuga} "They've come from all over Tenkuuju to find food."

{Reiga} "Hey, Lakshu! They say batheing in this lake will make your skin 
soft as silk. It'll even get rid of freckles."

{Lakshu} "Really?"

{Lakshu} "Perverts!"

{Indrah} "Kundalini was defeated. They appear to have gotten stronger."

{Akaranarta} "He hadn't fought anyone for 10,000 years."

{Trylo} "Even the best of skills dulls if not used."

{Indrah} "Who will take care of this now?"

{Trylo} "I will. I, GosanzeMyouOh Trylo, will finish them."

{Akaranarta} "Good."

{Indrah} "Your target is ShuraOh Shulato. If anyone else gets in your 
way, kill them too, but be sure to kill ShuraOh."

{Trylo} "No one will stop me. Just watch. It will be interesting."

{Akaranarta} "That's what you think."

{Lakshu} "This storm is creepy."

{Shulato} "What a huge swarm."

{Reiga} "This sure came on suddenly."

{Shulato} "What's this fog?"

{Shulato} "Hey! Where is everyone? Lakshu? Reiga? Ryouma? Hyuga?"

{Lakshu} "What do I do? Where is everyone? I don't want to get lost."

{Hyuga} "Shulato! Ryouma!"

{Reiga} "I guess the heavens got jealous of my beauty."

{Shulato} "This is amazing."

{Shulato} "Who's there?"

{Trylo} "What a pain. You can see through my fog."

{Shulato} "Are you one of Indrah's underlings?"

{Trylo} "I am GosanzeMyouOh Trylo. You should be happy. Thanks to me, you 
can die a beautiful death."

{Shulato} "Don't be too sure!"

{Shulato} "Let go, you idiot!"

{Trylo} "Little boy, you can't even touch me with moves like that."

{Shulato} "Why you-"

{Shulato} "Dammit!"

{Trylo} "There's no way you'll save yourself from me. Do you want to try 
begging for your life anyway?"

{Shulato} "Stop it! You're crushing my face!"

{Shulato} "Strange. There's no way anyone can move that fast."

{Trylo} "Let me hear how you scream. Beg! Beg for your life!"

{Shulato} "I got it! You're not fast at all! It's me who's moving slow! 
There's something about this fog."

{Trylo} "You got it, boy. That's right. The particles in the fog slow 
your body down several times over."

{Trylo} "Dance for me as you die."

{Trylo} "Dance! Dance!"

{Shulato} "Don't make a fool of me!"

{Trylo} "Don't want to die yet?"

{Reiga} "This isn't an ordinary fog. One of Indrah's soldiers must have 
created it to separate us."

{Hyuga} "With this fog, we can't tell where the enemy is coming from."

{Ryouma} "I can't let my guard down."

{Shulato} "I can't even get a single attack in!"

{Shulato} "That's it! The way out of the fog!"

{Shulato} "Go, Valuda!"

{Trylo} "You won't get away!"

{Shulato} "Now we can really fight!"

{Shulato} "Hey! Let me get my Shakti on!"

{Shulato} "What now? Shulato punch!"

{Trylo} "Without even his Shakti?"

{Shulato} "I'm saved!"

{Shulato} "I did it, even without my Shakti. I really am more powerful 
than before. Now where'd she go?"

{Shulato} "What's that?"

{Shulato} "Over there, huh? Okay, here I go. Om Shura Sowaka!"

{Shulato} "ShuraOh Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Shulato} "I did it! With my Shakti, I'm invincible!"

{Trylo} "You fell for it, Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Dammit..."

{Lakshu} "Shulato..."

[eyecatch]

{Trylo} "It never happened! Go back to when you weren't ShuraOh Shulato, 
before you ever came to Tenkuukai! What a beautiful ending."

{Hyuga} "Shulato!"

{Ryouma} "Shulato!"

{Ryouma} "Shulato!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Trylo} "ShuraOh Shulato, you will disappear from Tenkuukai, like none of 
this ever happened!"

{Shulato} "What the hell?"

{Shulato} "Gai! Gai!"

{Announcer} "An amazing development at the Junior Martial Arts 
championship! During the match between Hidaka Shulato and Kuroki Gai, 
Kuroki has completely disappeared from the ring!"

{Mina} "What on earth happened? Where's Gai?"

{Yutaro} "What was that? An act of god?"

{Shulato} "Gai! Where are you?"

{Shulato} "Gai sure is a strange guy. If he had a disappearing technique, 
you'd think he'd tell me before the match."

{Announcer} "It's unlike anything I've ever seen. In the middle of their 
match, Hidaka Shulato and Kuroki Gai were engulfed in a pillar of light. 
When it cleared, Kuroki had disappeared, before the eyes of 2000 
spectators. The judges declared Hidaka the winner by default."

{Yumiko} "Hey, brother. When you were in that light, did you see 
anything?"

{Shulato} "I thought I saw a pretty woman, but..."

{Yutaro} "Idiot! How cam you be thinking about women during an important 
match?"

{Shulato} "Stop it, gramps!"

{Yutaro} "Didn't I tell you not to think of anything except the 
battlefield during a match? You can't let your guard down!"

{Shulato} "Lay off about that. This isn't the army or anything."

{Mother} "Everyone's so worried."

{Father} "After all, his mother's no around any more."

{Yumiko} "And his father's away in Europe on business. He won't be back 
until next month."

{Shulato} "I'm going to Gai's house for a bit."

{Yutaro} "How can he think of girls at a time like this?"

{Shulato} "Something's different. It's like something inside me has 
changed."

{Shulato} "What on earth? I've never seen anything like it."

{Mina} "Shulato?"

{Shulato} "Mina!"

{Mina} "It's amazing. On the news, they called it an aurora."

{Shulato} "Aurora? Like what you see in the arctic?"

{Mina} "They said it was caused by a solar flare."

{Shulato} "What's happening to the Earth?"

{Mina} "Gai's gotten caught up in something terrible."

{Shulato} "But..."

{Mina} "I'm sure there's been some horrible mistake."

{Shulato} "Cheer up. Gai'll be back by tomorrow, I'm sure."

{Shulato} "What was that?"

{Lakshu} "Shulato! Shulato!"

{Hyuga} "It's the same place again. I'm going around in circles."

{Ryouma} "Fires of heaven, burn away this fog."

{Ryouma} "It's no use. The evil Sohma that made this fog is stronger than 
me.  Damn."

{Reiga} "It'll show the enemy where I am, but I guess there's no choice."


{Reiga} "I hope someone notices that. I'm getting bored here."

{Akaranarta} "Shulato was pretty interesting. Who's that?"

{Indrah} "KarulaOh Reiga. Don't underestimate him."

{Akaranarta} "If we pick them off one by one, there's no way they'll 
win."

{Shulato} "Dammit, I got locked out."

{Shulato} "If Gramps catches me here, he'll have another fit."

{Yutaro} "Found you!"

{Yutaro} "Keep your guard up! What's wrong?"

{Shulato} "I don't know. It's like I suddenlt remembered something."

{Yutaro} "Another woman?"

{Shulato} "No, it was Gai! I was fighting Gai in some strange place."

{Yutaro} "Strange place?"

{Shulato} "But I don't remember where it was."

{Yutaro} "Maybe that's my fault. I've been hitting ou over the head with 
things since you were small. Maybe you're brain-damaged."

{Shulato} "I'm not brain-damaged."

{Shulato} "A tree! There was a big tree!"

{Yutaro} "What is it, Shulato?"

{Narrator} "Shulato was sent back to the human world by GosanzeMyouOh 
Trylo. Can he get back his memory of Tenkuukai? And what of Lakshu, 
Reiga, Ryouma and Hyuga?"

[ED]

{Shulato} "Strange. Something's wrong. Ever since Gai disappeared, I feel 
like I'm forgetting something important. I remember fighting Gai in some 
strange place. It must have been another world. Where was it? Next on 
Shulato: 'Find the Lost Time'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
