Shulato #8

[OP]

{Narrator} "Because the Harmony Goddess Vishnu was turned to stone by 
Raitei Indrah, Tenkuukai is being destroyed. To try to stop this, Shulato 
and the others tried to take a shortcut to Tenkuuden through Moonlight 
Cavern. However, Moonlight Cavern is filled with traps that react to 
Sohma. Only DappaOh Kuuya, who could hide his Sohma, could fight there. 
However, they succeeded in driving Dan and Kuuya back to the Mahava and 
finding the shortcut."

{Title} "Hurry! The Road to Tenkuuju"

{Ryouma} "It's worse than I thought."

{Reiga} "This village used to be so lively. Just look at it now."

{Hyuga} "What happened to it? This used to be a beautiful village, filled 
with flowers."

{Reiga} "It's all because Vishnu was turned to stone."

{Hyuga} "I wonder if the other villages are like this."

{Ryouma} "They probably are."

{Shulato} "Fish! I'm hungry!"

{Lakshu} "What're you doing?"

{Shulato} "I'm gonna cook some fish!"

{Lakshu} "No way!"

{Hyuga} "Humans really eat fish?"

{Reiga} "They sure live like barbarians."

{Ryouma} "Shulato, what happened?"

{Shulato} "They're all dead."

{Lakshu} "It's awful."

{Ryouma} "If this is happening in Tenkuukai, it must also be happening in 
the human world."

{Shulato} "What do you mean?"

{Hyuga} "If the balance of Tenkuukai is upset, it affects the human 
world, too."

{Shulato} "Why?"

{Hyuga} "Tenkuukai and the human world are seperate worlds, but they're 
like two sides of a mirror. If something happens in Tenkuukai, it also 
happens in the human world. Whatever happens here affects the other 
world, like a reflection in a mirror."

{Shulato} "Wait! So if this world is destroyed-"

{Hyuga} "Then the human world will be, too."

{Shulato} "No way! That's my home! I can't let it be destroyed! I have to 
go back there someday!"

{Lakshu} "You don't give up, do you."

{Hyuga} "That's the same way we feel!"

{Ryouma} "We have to rescue Lady Vishnu and save Tenkuukai as soon as 
possible."

{Shulato} "I guess we have to."

{Ryouma} "Right!"

{Shulato} "Then let's get a move on. We just have to climb that tree, 
right?"

{Reiga} "Not quite."

{Shulato} "Why not?"

{Hyuga} "Look, Shulato. The base of Tenkuuju has a barrier around it, to 
keep enemies from climbing."

{Shulato} "Then why'd we come here?"

{Reiga} "We're heading for the island of Shitentou."

{Hyuga} "Their are four temples on Shitentou- Genbuden, Seiryuuden, 
Byakkoden and Suzakuden. If we awaken the holy light the sleep inside the 
temples, the gate to Tenkuuju will open."

{Reiga} "People call it Heiseimon."

{Shulato} "So it's like a warp to Tenkuuju? Great!"

{Ryouma} "But it takes a large amount of Sohma to awaken the light."

{Hyuga} "Indrah must know this."

{Shulato} "This is no life for a kid."

{Reiga} "So why don't you grow up?"

{Shulato} "I am grown up! Why, I'm.. I'm-"

{Reiga} "You're reckless, thoughtless, irresponsible, unthinking and 
immature. A kid's life suits you."

{Shulato} "You're not much older!"

{Ryouma} "You two! Let's go!"

{Reiga} "Got it."

{Gai} "My apologies."

{Indrah} "How long until the Mahava catches up to Shulato?"

{Gai} "It will take about half a day."

{Indrah} "Half a day... I'll help you."

{Gai} "Yes."

{Indrah} "RasetsuTen Nirihari."

{Nirihari} "Yes?"

{Lakshu} "Shulato, that's great!"

{Shulato} "Thanks!"

{Reiga} "How can you be fooling around like that when we're trying to do 
something important?"

{Shulato} "What's the problem? Can't I relax for just a bit? There's no 
one else here, anyway!"

{Reiga} "That irresponsible little-"

{Lakshu} "Shulato..."

{Shulato} "What'd you do that for?"

{Reiga} "Aren't you ever serious?"

{reiga} "Shulato, get Lakshu!"

{Shulato} "I can't-"

{Lakshu} "I'm all wet!"

{reiga} "You okay?"

{Lakshu} "I guess so. Where's Shulato?"

{Reiga} "That idiot."

{Reiga} "For pete's sake. What a poor excuse for a Hachibushu."

{Shulato} "What?"

{Lakshu} "Where's Ryouma and Hyuga?"

{Shulato} "Were they dragged under by that wave?"

{Reiga} "Don't think they're like you."

{Shulato} "What?"

{Reiga} "They must have gone ahead."

{Reiga} "Not like someone else here."

{Shulato} "Enough already!"

{Reiga} "But who's technique was that?"

{Hyuga} "Where did Shulato and the others go?"

{Ryouma} "Reiga's with them, so they should be okay."

{Hyuga} "Still, there's always a chance..."

{Nirihari} "This is good. There's no way I'd be able to beat half the 
Hachibushu all at once. Now, what's next..."

{Nirihari} "Rasetsu Meimarou!"

{Shulato} "They're not here, either."

{Lakshu} "Maybe they already went up."

{Reiga} "Well, we can't wait here forever. Let's get climbing."

{Shulato} "What? Climb that?"

{Reiga} "Hang in there."

{Shulato} "How did you-"

{reiga} "Come on, Lakshu!"

{Lakshu} "Yeah!"

{Reiga} "Bye."

{Shulato} "That's not fair!"

{Lakshu} "Sorry, Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Reiga, you jerk! You pervert! You fake woman!"

{Reiga} "Shulato, look out!"

{reiga} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Reiga, give me a hand here!"

{Reiga} "I'm a little busy here, too!"

{Reiga} "I'm wonderful."

{Shulato} "Dammit! Quit congradulating yourself and help!"

{Reiga} "There's no satisying some people."

{Lakshu} "Help Shulato, okay?"

{Reiga} "You're too kind, Lakshu."

{Lakshu} "Wow!"

{Reiga} "Damn!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Nirihari} "Shulato! Reiga! This girl is mine. I'll be waiting at the 
top."

"Lakshu!"

{Kuuya} "What? He sent Nirihari after Shulato?"

{Dan} "What's Sir Indrah thinking, using a guy like him?"

{Renge} "What? Do you doubt Sir Indrah? He must have thought this over 
carefully."

{Gai} "Shulato, don't let this guy kill you. Not before I can do it 
myself."

{Nirihari} "Welcome, Reiga."

{Reiga} "You're Nirihari!"

{Shulato} "Who's he?"

{Reiga} "He's the leader of Tenkuuden's guards."

{Shulato} "What?"

{Reiga} "I thought I recognized that lame technique. It was yours, huh?"

{Nirihari} "You're hardly one to talk about lame, wearing all that 
makeup."

{Reiga} "Shut your mouth! A cretin like you could hardly understand the 
nature of beauty."

{Shulato} "What have you done with Lakshu?"

{Nirihari} "Lakshu? Oh, you mean the girl."

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Lakshu!"

{Nirihari} "Hold it! One more step and she's dead."

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "You don't know what really happened! The one who turned Lady 
Vishnu into stone and tried to destroy Tenkuukai was Indrah!"

{Nirihari} "So?"

{Reiga}"What?"
{nirihari} "What about it?"

{Shulato} "No way!"

{Reiga} "You knew, and you still sided with Indrah?"

{Nirihari} "You fools! Do you think I'm an idiot?"

{Reiga} "You traitor!"

{Nirihari} "Traitor? Only someone like you would bother with that. What 
matters is who wins. Whoever wins determines what's right. Therefore, 
it's better to side with whoever's strongest, isn't it?"

{Ryouma}"That's strange. Shulato and the others aren't here."

{Hyuga} "Don't worry. Reiga's with them. Maybe they already went up."

{Hyuga} "Look!"

{Ryouma} "Look out!"

{Ryouma} "They're coming from the island."

{Hyuga} "Shulato and the others are in danger. We have to get up there."

{Nirihari} "Take this!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Nirihari} "You can't touch me."

{Shulato} "Damn!"

{Reiga} "You coward!"

{Nirihari} "So you're still moving? This is it!"

{Nirihari} "Rasetsu Meimarou!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Nirihari} "They won't be coming out."

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Gai} "What're you doing, Shulato?"

{Shulato} "Gai? Gai, what-"

{Gai} "Were you practicing here? Let's go home."

{Shulato} "Go home?"

{Shulato} "Gai, you've returned to normal!"

{Gai} "Normal? What're you talking about?"

{Shulato} "But you... In Tenkuukai, you tried to kill me."

{Gai} "What? Are you still asleep?"

{Shulato} "Uh... yeah. It was just a bad dream. I'm so glad."

{Gai} "What're you doing? That's weird."

{Shulato} "I'm just glad to see you again."

{Reiga} "Damn, I fell into Nirihari's trap. But it'll take more than that 
to beat me."

{Reiga} "Lady Vishnu?"

{Vishnu} "Thank you, Reiga. Thanks to you, I was able to return to 
normal. I won't forget this."

{Reiga} "No!"

{Vishnu} "Reiga?"

{Reiga} "You might fool the others, Nirihari, but you won't fool me. And 
now you dare to steal Lady Vishnu's image?"

{Shulato} "I'm so happy, Gai. It's like it used to be."

{Gai} "Like it always was. We're enemies, like we always were."

{Reiga} "I'll never forigve you!"

{Shulato} "Gai!"

{Vishnu} "Reiga!"

{Reiga} "Forgive me, Lady Vishnu!"

{Gai} "Die, Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Gai!"

{Gai} "Prepare yourself!"

{Shulato} "Gai!"

{Gai} "Shulato? Was that you who called me? Was it your voice I heard? No 
one will kill you but me, Shulato."

{reiga} "Shulato? It was you?"

{Reiga} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Reiga} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Gai... I can't hurt you..."

{Nirihari} "How'd you like my illusion, Reiga? Was it fun?"

{Reiga} "Bastard!"

{Nirihari} "Fool! The last time you tried to attack me, you got Shulato 
instead. Even if you hit what you aim at, are you sure it's me?"

{Reiga} "How dare you use people own emotions against them! I'll... I'll 
never let you get away with it!"

{Nirihari} "Oh really? Have you forgotten about the hostage?"

{lakshu} "Reiga, don't worry about me! Get him!"

{Sallas} "They're falling for that trap? They're too gentle."

{Mayuri} "That gentleness could kill them."

{Sallas} "Catch her, Reiga."

{Nirihari} "What?"

{Reiga} "Lakshu!"

{Reiga} "Do you have another trick up your sleeve?"

{Reiga} "Go look after Shulato."

{Nirihari} "Then I'll beat you with my own Sohma!"

{Reiga} "Don't bother. You'll never hit me."

{Nirihari} "What?"

{Reiga} "That's enough, Nirihari. Using the things Shulato and I hold 
dear is not something I take lightly."

{Nirihari} "Wait! I understand! I was fooled by Indrah! I'm a fool! I'm 
sorry, Reiga! Forgive me!"

{Reiga} "Unbelievable."

{Nirihari} "Even if you don't forgive me, I still apologize. Please 
forgive me."

{Nirihari} "Die, Reiga!"

{Nirihari} "You?"

{Nirihari} "You brat!"

{Reiga} "Shulato!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Nirihari} "Impossible! He stopped my Sohma blast!"

{Shulato} "This is the power of my anger!"

{Shulato} "Shura Mahaken!"

{Nirihari} "Impossible!"

{Lakshu} "Shulato!"

{Reiga} "Shulato!"

{Shulato} "Got him, Reiga."

{Reiga} "Sorry about doing that."

{Shulato} "Don't worry about it."

{Hyuga} "You okay, Shulato?"

{Shulato} "Why didn't you get here sooner?"

{Indrah} "So his power really was nothing but illusions. But now..."

{Shulato} "It's-"

{Reiga} "The Mahava!"

{Ryouma} "They found us! Everyone hurry to the temples!"

{Gai} "I found you, Shulato. Kill the traitors this time!"

{Shulato} "Let's go!"

[ED]

{Shulato} "I go to Genbuden, and HibaOh Dan is waiting for me. This guy's 
power and speed is something else! Dan, don't you understand? It wasn't 
us who turned Vishnu to stone! Killing us won't return her to normal! 
Next on Shulato: 'Battle! Awaken the Holy Light!'. Om Shura Sowaka!"
