Shulato #32
translation by Arcadia

[OP]

{Narrator} "Tenkuukai, the land of the Deva gods, protected by Vishnu. 
This peaceful place has been turned into a hell. Their enemies, the Asura 
gods have come to reawaken a war that ended 10,000 years ago. The earth 
is soaked with blood and the people cower in fear.  It seemed Tenkuukai 
would be destroyed. ShuraOh Shulato once again set out on a journey to 
find the Creator god Brahma's Shakti, hidden in the island of Shumisen. 
They need the awesome power of the Brahma shakti to defeat the Asura 
gods, and the only one who can wear the Shakti is Shulato, Brahma's 
successor. However, Shulato's rival, YashaOh Gai is also Brahma's 
successor."

{Title} "The Brahma Shakti is Discovered!"

{Gai} "Why don't you welcome me, Shumisen?"

{Gai} "How foolish. These tricks will not help you, Shumisen. The Shakti 
Brahma left will be mine."

{Kubilah} "Hey! Wait for me!"

{Lakshu} "He's gaining on us!"

{Kubilah} "You're not being very much fun, ShuraOh!"

{Shulato} "How can he go that fast without a Shakti?"

{Kubilah} "I'm not in a hurry or anything. Slow down and have some fun."

{Shulato} "Shut up! I don't have time to mess with you!"

{Kubliah} "That wasn't a nice thing to say!"

{Kubilah} "I don't need a Shakti to use all of my Sohma."

{Shulato} "That doesn't mean a thing if you can't hit us!"

{Lakshu} "That's right!"

{Shulato} "There! No way he can follow us now!"

{Lakshu} "Good going!"

{Shulato} "How did you get here?"

{Kubilah} "Are you finished yet? You'll never be able to outrun me."

{Shulato} "Fine. It looks like I won'tbe able to get to the top of 
Shumisen without getting through you."

{Kubilah} "That's right."

{Shulato} "Lakshu, you go on ahead."

{Lakshu} "What?"

{Shulato} "Get going! Vishnu said you have an important mission, 
remember?"

{Lakshu} "Okay..."

{Shulato} "Be careful of Gai."

{Lakshu} "Right. Let's go, Mii."

{Shulato} "Let's do it!"

{Shulato} "Om Shura Sowaka!"

{Shulato} "ShuraOh Shulato!"

{Gai} "At last! At last the Brahma Shakti is mine! I bet Shulato!"

{Gai} "Awaken, Brahma Shakti, and give me your ancient power!"

{Gai} "Why? I'm Brahma's successor! Why does it reject me?"

"What's that?"

"Look!"

"The Asura army! They're invading!"

"Call the Hachibushu!"

{Akaranarta} "Die! Juuga Rekkoudan!"

{Akaranarta} "Tenkuuden will belong to me!"

{Kubilah} "I didn't think you'd be any good. This is child's play!"

{Shulato} "Why you-"

{Kubilah} "I'll show you how a real warrior fights."

{Kubilah} "Katei Senryudan!"

{Shulato} "You bastard..."

{Kubilah} "Your friends won't come to save you this time. You were only 
able to get this far because of them. You can't beat me alone."

{Shulato} "I don't need anyone's help! I'll beat you by myself!"

{Kubilah} "Let's see if you can."

{Kubilah} "Katei Senryudan!"

{Gai} "Let the power of Shumisen and Brahma be mine!"

{Gai} "Tell me why the Brahma Shakti rejects me."

{Gai} "Mere ghosts will not stop YashaOh Gai!"

{Gai} "I see. So that's why that girl is here."

[eyecatch]

{Kubilah} "Finished already? This might be a good time to use your 
Mahaken."

{Kubilah} "Maybe you haven't because you know it'll never work on me."

{Kubilah} "Once you use it, your Shakti will disappear and you'll be a 
sitting duck for my Senryudan!"

{Shulato} "Shut up, you little freak! If you want to see it that badly, 
I'll show you!"

{Kubilah} "Then I'll show you my best spell, too."

{Shulato} "I don't care what spell it is. Take this!"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Kubilah} "Katei Magenen!"

{Kubilah} "Impossible."

{Shulato} "The Mahaken was just a bluff. You fell for it, Kubilah! You 
lose!"

{Kubilah} "I can see how you were able to defeat Indrah. But you've still 
lost!"

{Shulato} "What?"

{Kubilah} "Sir Gai will have gotten the Brahma Shakti by now!"

{Shulato} "I have to hurry."

{Shulato} "The Brahma Shakti should be in here. But where are Gai and 
Lakshu?"

{Lakshu} "Shulato! Run!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "Run! Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "Get out of here!"

{Shulato} "What happened, Lakshu?"

{Gai} "Don't move, Shulato."

{Shulato} "Gai!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Gai} "I won't kill you, yet. There's still something you can do for me."


{Gai} "Girl! Shulato's life is in my hands. If you don't want him to die, 
send your Sohma into the Brahma Shakti."

{Shulato} "What are you doing?"

{Gai} "Fool. Didn't you know what her mission was?"

{Shulato} "Mission?"

{Gai} "The Brahma Shakti will awaken once she sends here Sohma into it. 
She alone can reawaken it."

{Shulato} "What? Her Sohma can-"

{Gai} "Do it! Or do you want him to be killed?"

{Shulato} "Don't do it, Lakshu! If Gai gets the Brahma Shakti, Tenkuukai 
is finished!"

{Lakshu} "But... but..."

{Gai} "What are you waiting for?"

{Gai} "You dont' want to watch your beloved Shulato die, do you?"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Don't listen to him, Lakshu! Think about Tenkuukai!"

{Gai} "Maybe this will be enough to convince you."

{Gai} "Do you understand now?"

{Lakshu} "Stop!"

{Gai} "You can stop this, girl. Awaken the Brahma Shakti!"

{Shulato} "Don't do it! Forget about me and run!"

{Lakshu} "I can't! I can't just run!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato and Lakshu! I heard them!"

{Ryouma} "I hope they're okay."

{Gai} "Well, girl? Maybe I'll slit his throat next. You don't want him to 
suffer any more, do you?"

{Lakshu} "Stop! Please stop!"

{Gai} "Then send you Sohma to the Brahma Shakti."

{Lakshu} "Forgive me. Everyone forgive me..."

{Shulato} "No! Don't! Lakshu!"

{Gai} "Now! Send your Sohma to the Brahma Shakti!"

{Shulato} "Don't do it, Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "I have to! I can't this continue!"

{Gai} "At last! I don't need you any more."

{Shulato} "Gai, wait! Gai!"

{Gai} "Look, Shulato! The Brahma Shakti is mine!"

{Shulato} "Gai..."

{Gai} "Now Tenkuukai will belong to the Asura. I have gained the power of 
Brahma!"

{Bikara} "Sir Gai has suceeded."

{Shiva} "Of course. Tenkuukai will soon be mine."

{Akaranarta} "Die! None of the Deva gods will survive!"

{Dan} "How could he get in here?"

{Kuuya} "We have to keep the Asura gods out of Tenkuuden!"

{Akaranarta} "Useless! Die!"

{Renge} "There's nothing we can do!"

{Renge} "But we will try! We will defeat you, Akaranarta!"

{Gai} "There's nothing left to say, Shulato. Without your Shakti, you're 
no match for me."

{Shulato} "Even if you kill me, you'll never win."

{Gai} "You're talking nonsense."

{Shulato} "No, I'm not. There's still Hyuga, Ryouma and Reiga. And Dan, 
Kuuya and Renge back in Tenkuuden. My friends will still defeat you and 
the Asura army."

{Gai} "We'll see! The friends you abandoned can do nothing for you!"

{Reiga} "Let's see what we can do."

{Hyuga} "We're still here!"

{Ryouma} "And me!"

{Shulato} "You came all this way for me?"

{Reiga} "What are you talking about? This is our fight, too!"

{Ryouma} "Our destinies are tied together."

{Reiga} "Like links on a chain."

{Shulato} "A chain..."

{Reiga} "Something like that."

{Gai} "Enough talk. No matter how many of you there are, it changes 
nothing."

{Hyuga} "Listen, Gai! My friends are I are tied together by destiny! As 
long as even one of us still stands, we will defeat you!"

{Gai} "Fools. See the power of the Brahma Shakti."

{Hyuga} "What was that?"

{Shulato} "Was that the Brahma's Shakti's power?"

{Gai} "I haven't even started. I can raise more power than that by simply 
lifting a finger."

{Hyuga} "Unbelievable power!"

{Reiga} "It looks bad."

{Gai} "I'll show you something else."

{Shulato} "What-"

{Lakshu} "Shumisen is..."

{Hyuga} "Shumisen is crumbling!"

{Shulato} "But that's impossible. Such power-"

[ED]

{Shulato} "Gai has obtained the Brahma Shakti and its powers of Creation. 
It's no use! I can't do anything! Gai, have you really become a god of 
destruction? But then something else stands against him. Next on Shulato: 
'Good or Evil!? The Creation God Brahma's Choice'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
