SDK 183 - Breaking the Chrysalis 1 Yuya: Oh, good, it's a nice day! Akari: Uh-huh... Yuya: Oh, it was so pretty, but these hallways are so dark... Akari: Uh-huh... Yuya: D... dark and kind of creepy... Akari: Uh-huh... Yuya: Um... maybe we'll feel better if we sing a song!! I'm a pretty good singer... Akari: NO. Yuya: ...Huh!? Yuya: B... but Akari-san, don't you sing? Akari: I'm outta here. Yuya: What!? 2 Akari: If I'm not with Kyo, then I'm not hanging around this dump. Yuya: Oh no!! Wait, Akari-san!! Akari: See ya~ Yuya: Y... You just want to run away now and let Nobunaga take Kyo's body and use it to destroy the world!? Akari: Oh? Whatever... Yuya: She doesn't even care!! Yuya: But... but we have to help Kyo get his real body back!! Akari: Uh, yeah, whatever. Yuya: B... but...!! Yuya: The path we're on leads to the second gate - if you can rescue Kyo's body from behind the Yin-Yang Gates, I'm sure he'll be very grateful!! Akari: Kyo... Kyo: [Akari... I want to be with you...] Kyo: [Please say yes...?] 3 Akari: You really think he will? Yuya: Yeah... sure... Yuya: But he never thanks anyone else... Akari: Speaking of Kyo, don't you like him too, Yuya-chan? Yuya: ...Huh!? Yuya: Ugh, no way! I hate that perverted jerk!! Yuya: Um, this place looked creepy at first, but I think I'll go over here now... Akari: Well, I mean, it's not like you fight or anything... I figured you were with Kyo as some sort of mascot character. Yuya: A mascot...!? Yuya: I happen to have my own reasons for being here!! So don't call me a mascot!! Akari: ...Reasons? 4 Akari: I see... so the shaman's sister wants revenge... Yuya: You're a shaman like my brother was, Akari-san, so could you please tell me anything you knwo about him? Akari: Sorry. I didn't know him that well. Akari: Most shamans don't want anything to do with eachother. Akari: But I do know that he escaped the Mibu after he found out their secret. That's really unusual. Yuya: ...What!? It must have been a horrible place if he wanted to run away so badly... Akari: What!? Not at all!! Akari: Almost all shamans wanted to work for the Mibu. Yuya: Huh!? Akari: Surprised? ...Where else would we go if we wanted to be powerful and influential people? Akari: But a lot of us just wanted to find somewhere where we belonged... Yuya: ...Somewhere to belong... 5 Akari: I don't know... maybe it's because normal people envy those with special abilities... Akari: But it seems like they just hate us... they look at us with cold eyes, and there's nowhere we can go to escape their hatred. Akari: But in the Mibu, we feel wanted... even if it's just for scientific experiments. Akari: It's so... Akari: ...It's so hard to be different... it's hard to live among people when you have an ability that makes you different from them... Akari: When people see something they've never seen before, they're afraid... even someone who can heal injuries might be revered as a god, or feared as a monster... Yuya: Akari-san... Bon: [Ever since he was a kid, people have been calling him a "monster"... so I guess he could only trust himself...] Yuya: [...So much has happened to them... my brother, Sakuya-san, and Akari-san... Akari: Yeah, when Nozomu escaped with the Mibu's secret, it was a total shock! Pretty badass, huh? Yuya: Saying it like that kind of gives the wrong idea of him... Akari: But Yuya-chan, there is one thing I've heard... 6 Akari: Shamans are nothing to the Mibu... they step on us until we're crushed to death. They use us... Akari: They use us until there's nothing left... Yuya: What...!? Even if you...!? Akari: But even if we run... Akari: Even if we run forever, they'll find us... Akari: [There is...] Akari: [No escape...] Akari: ... Yuya: A... Akari-san? Akari: So Yuya-chan, why don't you quit the revenge business? You came her without knowing anything, and now there's nothing you can do - you're reckless, stupid and stubborn. Yuya: What...!? Yuya: I am NOT stupid!! I'm smart!! Akari: Yeah, I really think you and Benitora-chan are a *perfect* match... (it's totally tragic...) Yuya: Huh...? Perfect match? 7 Akari: Oh absolutely, you're his type... Guy: Hello, ladies... Guy: Too bad. We've got orders from the Taishirou to stop anybody from coming this way. Yuya: Ah...!! But... where did... Akari: .... Other Guy: But you should know that we're high-class Mibu nobles, charged with protecting the gate. I mean, anybody can tell we have class... Guy: Oh, absolutely. Guy: How about... Guy: Letting us have some fun with you~? Akari: These guys are totally like Benitora-chan too... Guys: Get them!! 8 Yuya: A... Akari-chan!! Akari: N... no... Guy: Heh, they're nice and firm, Nee-chan... Guy: And big, just like I like them.... wait...!? Guy: ...A meat bun? (Two of them?) Guy: Wh... what the hell... Other Guy: No way... you're a... Akari: YOU BASTARDS.... Akari: Stealing a delicate, innocent young girl's secret!! Tora: Did you guys hear that...? Hotaru: Yeah? Akira: It can't be... 9 Guy: A crossdresser!! And he had us fooled!! (She was too cute to be true...) Other guy: You freak!! We'll kill you!! Guys: Die!! Yuya: A... Akari-san, I'll... Akari: ...Oh well, it cant be helped. They're pathetic, but I didn't really want to kill them... Akari: But takign a secret like that is a crime... Yuya: ...Huh!? Akari: Heaven... Akari: Earth... Mankind... Akari: The spirit which all things are made from... Akari: I can excorcise this spirit... 10 Akari: "Air Vamp." (stupid... attack... name...) 11 no text 12 Guy: What!? It's like... the strength is being sucked... Guy: From my body... Guy: Ah... Guys: KYAAAAA!! Yuya: Kyaa!! Yuya: Wh... what is this!? Yuya: C...corpses!? Akari: Oh please, you guys are like a thousand years too early to kill me. 13 Akari: I've just taken your life force. Yuya: Th... this... Akari: Ah... too much trouble. Yuya: This is how Akari-san fights!? Akari: So anyway, about Benitora-chan!! Yuya: Ah... okay... Yuya: This again? Yuya: Whoa, I never realised how strong Akari-san's grip is... Akari: I really think... 14 Akari: What the hell!? This isn't the time or place for that shit!! You're pissing me off!! Mekira: Heh... you're interesting... 15 Mekira: You dodged the fist of I, Mekira-sama... Akari: Fuck you!! What the... who is that guy? Yuya: M... Mekira!? Yuya: He... he's one of the ones Okuni-san talked about... Yuya: Mekira of the True Juunishinshou!? Yuya: And what's with that hand!? What's sealed under there!? Akari: You're an asshole!! Attacking a girl like that is unforgivable!! Yuya: A... Akari-san!! Mekira: Oh, you're a feisty one... acting like I'm some kind of pervert... Akari: ...I guess you're just looking to get your ass kicked... Mekira: Ooh... but it's not the time for that... 16 Mekira: She will be your opponent for now. Akari: What!? That kid? She's Juunishinshou too!? Looks kind of shy... Yuya: Yeah... that's Santera... Yuya: Sasuke-kun fought against Santera before. Yuya: When she gets emotional, she gives off poison dust. Don't underestimate her. Mekira: Come on, Santera, it's your turn. Santera: Huh? Um... okay... Santera: Hi, I'm Santera of the Juunishinshou... Santera: It's nice to meet you... Akari: WTF!? Yuya: N... nice to meet you...? 17 Santera: Um... let's see... My birthday is March 3rd, so I'm a Pisces... I'm ten years old... Santera: Um... my hobby is playing cat's cradle... I can do all kinds of stuff with a piece of string... Santera: Ah... please go easy on me... Santera: Ah... Santera: Um... Santera: Well... Yuya and Akari: ... Santera: W...w... was my self-introduction that bad!? Yuya: ... Akari: This is fantastic... just fantastic... Yuya: Santera-san... maybe you'd rather join us and fight on our side? Santera: Huh!? Santera: Um... well... Yuya: ...Huh!? 18 Yuya: What!? Santera: Ah... Santera: Ahhh... Santera: Aaaahhh... Yuya: A drug!? Yuya: S... Santera-san, what happened...? Santera: P... please, stay away... Santera: I don't... Santera: I don't want to hurt anyone... Santera: I don't want to fight... 19 Santera: Gah!! Santera: No... Santera: Ah... Santera: NOOOO!! Akari: What the... Yuya: Sh... she... Mekira: Interesting, isn't she? Tokito really had fun with this... Mekira: You see... 20 no text 21 Mekira: It is time for the caterpillar to become a butterfly!! Santera: Kill...
