* Chapter one hundred and fifteen: Time to fulfill the promise *
Sano: The room be hollow! Hey, Kenshin!
Kenshin: Nay... someone smells from within, feelings do not fail.
Sano: ! [addresses Yumi] You have cooked up another cronie scheme to bring
downfall to us again haven't you?
Yumi: Do not throw rubbish from your mouth! Have I but not earlier mentioned,
from dawn till dusk this plan be hatched from Hoji's brain, neither
Shishio-sama even can do anything to cause interference from within! Besides,
would that not render this whole battle a counterfeit in countinuance? It is
impossible for such to occur now and here! I DARE TESTIFY! No one borne of
Juppongatana status lies in that room!
Kenshin: So this one inside be one not of Juppongatana status, yet dwelling
in the same realms as Shishio...
Sano: (snaps) Can it be...
Kenshin: Ay. The sir that awaits within wouldst be the head of the Onmitsu
Oniwabanshuu - SHINOMORI AOSHI.
(darkness reveals an Aoshi sitting on a couch, waiting)
Kenshin and Aoshi: ...
Sano: What is the plan now, Kenshin?
(scene of Aoiya)
Sano: (voice over) Whilst we stop and advance herein, the Aoiya faces dangers
climbing towards a volcano's peak. To be very frank, time doth not permit we
to give up another second to this!
Kamatari: Hey hey hey! The honorable Juppongatana throws the gauntlet, art
you all too rude to send thyselves to an obedient death?
(starts glomping)
Kamatari: I must sever your heads one by one and present them as tributes to
the great Shishio-sama...
Yahiko: That one is one of the Juppongatana?
Misao: It does seems to be...
Kaoru: What need we do now?
Okina: Hmm... 7 against 150 wouldst be more disadvantageous than 7 against 3.
Let us accept the thrown gauntlet! Bear in deep mind though the name Special
Attack Force Juppongatana, and always incline towards Kaoru's lifeline, to
defend oneself above all else. They have naught by manpower, and if we take
it from here the police wouldst assist us soon.
Shiro: So do we strategize with the equal footage of 2:3:2?
Okina: No... we would perform ideally if we release ourselves before they do
to finish them one by one. Thereafter 4 against 1 and 3 against 1... it
wouldst remove the pricky situation hastier.
(Hennya)
Okina: Kaoru and Yahiko to versus the strange masked man.
(Kamatari)
Okina: Misao shall avail herself to oppose the woman with that large scythe,
but be careful not to let thy guard drop!
(Iwanbou)
Okina: And the rest of you four congregate against that one big one, and take
care that he goes first!
(back to Okina)
Okina: When one be done you split from there to assist one other battle!
Listen for mine instruction and do not indulge in impulse, for one bit of
injury on our side we cannot bear to burden!
Misao: That will be it! We go, people!
Everyone jumps from Aoiya: OOOO!!
The one to strike first gets the good!
Omasu: Watch mine 'ku' (‚) styled flying object attack!
Okon: And mine circle shaped flying object attack!
Shiro and Kuro: Bangle flying object attack! (corny isn't it? ^^x)
(all flying objects hit Iwanbou)
Misao: Success!
Kaoru: !
(Iwanbou promptly rebounds everything off)
Iwanbou: Heheh.
Omasu: That thick skinned beast... we hath proved of not an effect!
Shiro: It cannot be possible! He did not credit a single wound?
(fingernails [or something like that] comes out from Iwanbou's hands, and he
bounces off to attack everyone else)
Misao: Everybody!
Kamatari: My view, girl... is to pay utmost attention for thy own safety
now... That is it be, will we now begin what we were supposed to have.
(Hennya stands and faces Kaoru and Yahiko)
(back to Mount Hiei)
Sano: Kenshin...
Kenshin: This unworthy one hath lay vow to thee other. The vow for
Misao-dono,
Misao: *Detestable, mine opponent is fairer than I!*
Kenshin: mine promise to have Aoshi brought back, and this unworthy one's
promise to re-duel with Aoshi... To have missed the noble chance, would have
shattered mine two vows... and never again wouldst this one be able to regain
the opportunity.
(stares harder)
Kenshin: By now this unworthy one must hold fast to fulfillment.
(doors open)
Kenshin: For the doors of this one battle, this lowly one must do't myself!
(doors fully opened by Kenshin)
Aoshi: You have come... and no sooner we must finish the duel we left behind,
Himura Battousai...
