Shulato #7

[OP]

{Narrator} "Without Vishnu, Tenkuukai's balance was destroyed. A plague 
has begun to spread among the people of Tenkuukai. One of its victims was 
MarishiTen Marichi, who was in love with Renge. However, Marichi chose to 
die fighting Renge instead, and still lives on in her heart. After 
defeating KuramaTen Muhra and Dahra, Shulato and his friends were witness 
to Marichi's last moments."

{Title} "Break the Trap of Moonlight Cavern!"

{Shulato} "A shortcut to Tenkuuden? Does one really exist?"

{Hyuga} "Yes."

{Reiga} "It's the Deva army's fortress, Moonlight Cavern. There's a 
shortcut to Tenkuuden in the innermost chamber. I don't really think we 
should go there, though."

{Shulato} "How much time will it save us?"

{Hyuga} "We'd be about two days away from the bottom of Tenkuuju."

{Shulato} "Two days? That soon? If there was this handy a shortcut, why 
didn't we use it sooner? Why'd we risk our lives climbing all over 
mountains and valleys?"

{Hyuga} "Moonlight Cavern is rigged with traps to keep enemies from 
getting in."

{Shulato} "Traps?"

{Hyuga} "They react to the Sohma given off by Shaktis."

{Reiga} "If you try to fight with your Shakti, you set off the traps. 
Therefore, if anyone attacks us, we'll have to fight unarmed."

{Shulato} "But Gai and the others won't be able to use their Shaktis, 
either, right? It'll be a fair fight."

{Ryouma} "You're right, Shulato, but only if Kuuya isn't with them."

{Shulato} "Kuuya? What about him?"

{Ryouma} "Through rigorous training, Kuuya has attained a state of 
nothingness. He can hide his own Sohma."

{Shulato} "So Kuuya can still fight with his Shakti inside Moonlight 
Cavern?"

{Hyuga} "Exactly."

{Shulato} "That's bad."

{Hyuga} "Hopefully, Gai and the others haven't noticed that we're heading 
back to Tenkuuden."

{Shulato} "And if they have?"

{Hyuga} "Maybe they'll think we'll avoid Moonlight Cavern out of fear of 
Kuuya. It's a gamble, but we have to do it."

{Shulato} "What the-"

{Shulato} "What a huge statue! It's a like a giant Buddha."

{Reiga} "Isn't it? That's Moonlight Cavern."

{Shulato} "That's a fortress? I'll never understand the taste of 
Tenkuukai people."

{Shulato} "I guess this is the entrance. It's huge."

{Hyuga} "We're looking for the innermost room. Let's get there as soon as 
possible."

{Shulato} "This place is creepy. It looks more like ruins that like a 
fortress."

{Hyuga} "It hasn't been used since the war with the Asura gods, 10,000 
years ago."

{Lakshu} "Are you scared of the dark, Shulato?"

{Shulato} "Only if there's no light to see. Okay..."

{Ryouma} "Shulato! No!"

{Shulato} "What the-"

{Ryouma} "Run!"

{Ryouma} "Is everyone okay?"

{Shulato} "That was a surprise."

{Lakshu} "Shulato, you idiot! They told you not to use your Shakti!"

{Shulato} "I thought just getting some light would be okay."

{Lakshu} "No, you can't use it at all!"

{Shulato} "Sorry."

{Hyuga} "Now you see how dangerous Moonlight Cavern is. If you're not 
careful, it'll kill you, Shulato."

{Shulato} "Okay."

{Dan} "Are they here?"

{Kuuya} "Yes."

{Dan} "Your prediction was right on. I guess that's why you're the wisest 
of the Hachibushu."

{Dan} "Good luck."

{Kuuya} "Now I have to rely on your power and speed, Dan. Do your best."

{Dan} "You exagerate. I'm just glad you're not my enemy."

{Reiga} "They got caught in a trap."

{Shulato} "This is some wild place."

{Ryouma} "It's no good. That way's a dead end."

{Hyuga} "This is a maze."

{Shulato} "Look out!"

{Shulato} "Kuuya must have been waiting for us!"

{Ryouma} "No, that's not Kuuya. That was Dan's technique!"

{Shulato} "Dan?"

{Ryouma} "Run!"

{Shulato} "Wasn't Kuuya the only one who could use his Shakti here?"

{Reiga} "Got me. Why don't you ask Dan about it?"

{Shulato} "How irresponsible!"

{Dan} "This is for Lady Vishnu!"

{Shulato} "That guy's nuts!"

{Reiga} "Just like someone else here."

{Shulato} "Shut up!"

{Reiga} "Here it comes."

{Hyuga} "This way!"

{Dan} "They got away!"

{Hyuga} "This way."

{Shulato} "Dammit. If I could use my Shakti, that guy'd be toast."

{Reiga} "You talk big, for someone who's running away."

{Lakshu} "Reiga, are you always like this?"

{Reiga} "Excuse me."

{Shulato} "Look at all the doors. Which one do we take?"

{Kuuya} "Welcome to Moonlight Cavern."

{Shulato} "Kuuya, is that you? How'd you know we'd be here?"

{Kuuya} "While Dan watched you from one side, I watched from the other."

{Shulato} "Dammit!"

{Dan} "You'll pay for your treachery with your lives!"

[eyecatch]

{Dan} "I got them!"

{Kuuya} "No, not yet."

{Kuuya} "Impossible! They're using their Shaktis!"

{Shulato} "That was close."

{Ryouma} "Are you okay, Hyuga?"

{Hyuga} "It's nothing."

{Shulato} "Let's split up and look for the chamber on our own!"

{Hyuga} "Do you want to set off more traps?"

{Shulato} "We can't just wander around and let them pick us off all at 
once! It's now or never!"

{Ryouma} "Shulato's right. We have to avoid Kuuya and Dan if we want to 
get to the innermost chamber."

{Shulato} "Exactly! Everyone get there alive, okay?"

{Kuuya} "They'd rather get killed by the traps than by us."

{Ryouma} "What's that?"

{Reiga} "Hang on tight!"

{Lakshu} "That was great, Reiga!"

{Reiga} "Of course!"

{Reiga} "Who's that? Oh no! It's Dan!"

{Shulato} "Damn, he's still there!"

{Shulato} "In this narrow tunnel, I'm an easy target."

{Shulato} "That was close. I should look where I'm going."

{Kuuya} "You've just taken a detour to hell."

{Hyuga} "The color of Dan's Shakti..."

{Ryouma} "You noticed, too? Kuuya must have hidden his Sohma somehow."

{Hyuga} "I thought so. I'm sorry to hold you back like this. I hope 
everyone else is all right."

{Reiga} "I'll stall Dan here. You go ahead."

{Lakshu} "Reiga!"

{Reiga} "Don't worry about it. I'll catch up later."

{Lakshu} "Be sure you do."

{Reiga} "Okay..."

{Dan} "You want to fight? It's more interesting when they fight back. 
Let's go, Reiga!"

{Dan} "It's over, Reiga."

{Reiga} "Beauty never dies. I won't lose."

{Shulato} "What a weird place. If this the room I'm looking for?"

{Kuuya} "You're late, Shulato."

{Shulato} "Kuuya? How'd you get here?"

{Kuuya} "No matter where you go, you cannot escape me. Let's finish 
this."

{Shulato} "Yes, let's do that."

{Shulato} "Om Shura Sowaka!"

{Shulato} "ShuraOh Shulato!"

{kuuya} "Fool! You've sealed your own fate!"

{Shulato} "What?"

{Kuuya} "You've activated Moonlight Cavern's greatest trap. That's why I 
led you here."

{Shulato} "Why did you just watch instead of fighting?"

{Kuuya} "I don't need to dirty my hands with the blood of traitors."

{Shulato} "What the-"

{Shulato} "How do I fight a statue?"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Shulato} "The Mahaken didn't work!"

{Kuuya} "The game is over. You came to close to the innermost room, but 
you will not succeed."

{Shulato} "The room..."

{Kuuya} "It's on the other side of that wall. However, I don't think you 
have enough strength left to make it."

{Shulato} "Thanks for telling me that. Even if my technique didn't work 
on the monster, it'll still work on the wall. Shura Mahaken!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "You're all okay?"

{Hyuga} "What's that?"

{Kuuya} "Let's go, Dan!"

{Dan} "Yeah!"

{Lakshu} "Help!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Ryouma} "RyuOh Kaengeki!"

{Lakshu} "Help!"

{Ryouma} "Impossible! It didn't work!"

{Hyuga} "Shulato! Do another Mahaken!"

{Shulato} "But it didn't-"

{Hyuga} "Trust me. Just do it. If the four of us combine our power, we 
can destroy that thing."

{Reiga} "Let's do it!"

{Shulato} "Got it!"

{Dan} "Whatever you're doing, it won't work!"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Lakshu} "Everyone, over here!"

{Hyuga} "Let's go!"

{Shulato} "We did it! We got through Moonlight Cavern!"

{Lakshu} "It's Tenkuuju! Shulato!"

{Shulato} "We did it!"

{Lakshu} "We did it!"

{Shulato} "Hyuga, aren't you happy?"

{Hyuga} "Creation itself is crumbling."

{Shulato} "It's awful."

{Hyuga} "We have to save Vishnu before Tenkuuden is completely 
destroyed."

{Ryouma} "It'll be some time before Gai and the others catch up to us. We 
should use that time wisely. Shulato, the real fight begins now."

{Gai} "I didn't know there was a shortcut. This is a problem."

{Kuuya} "It's my fault for underestimating them."

{Gai} "They're heading for Tenkuuden. They must be after Indrah this 
time. I will not allow any more failure."

{Dan} "I know! I'll get them this time!"

{Gai} "After them!"

[ED]

{Shulato} "We finally got to the bottom of Tenkuuju, but the journey's 
not over, yet. Inorder to get to Tenkuuden, we have to open the Heiseimon 
gate. A new enemy, RasetsuTen Nirihari, uses frightening techniques in 
order to stop us. Nirihari! I won't let yo play with people's hearts! 
Next on Shulato: 'Hurry! The Road to Tenkuuju'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
