[Kurama moves the arms apart]
Youkai #2: Impossible...  How?!!
Kurama: I have much to teach him about pain.  He suffers a little for each death... I come fairly to train him...  It's really not difficult.  And what is your decision?  Obedience or death?

Crowd: Yes, that's it, like that!!!  They must be overpowered!!!

[Kuwa and Yusuke are hit]
Masked Fighter: [thinking]  They are very concentrated on the target...  The two others would benefit from their attacks with remarkable precision.
Ichigaki: One against one.  The chances were already my way...  The system fixed in their backs gives me total control.  A plan without fault!!!  Our chances are 99.95%!!!  It's won!!!

Kuwa: Wake up, shit!!!  This fight isn't yours!!!
IT#1 & 3: [Thinking]  He must be killed...  Kill, kill!!!

Page 162
[Kuwa dodges an attack]
Ichigaki: [Thinking]  They can do nothing, he he he...  I control their blood flow.  These guys are real killers!!!
Kuwa: Shit!!!
Yusuke: [Thinking]  It's not them whom we must confront...!!!

[Masked Fighter attacks, and the mask is cut off revealing a young girl.]

Page 164
(Un)Masked Fighter: What are you waiting for, fools!  You think perhaps that your deaths are going to save these guys?
Koto: The return of the Maks!!!  Surprise!!!  It's a young girl!!!

[The youkai who'd been fighting Hiei and Kurama lands in the ring... head first.  And bounces.]

[The Monster thing crashes through one of the spectator stands.]
Ichigaki: !!!
Yusuke: Hiei!!!  Kurama!!!
Kurama: Let us relate the tale.  He promised to heal their master if they became his guinea pigs.  They were ignorant that it was for murder.
Kuwa: It's all explained!!!
Kurama: And...

Page 167
Kurama: Their master's illness is a trap set up by the professor.
Kuwa: What!
Yusuke: Damn!
Ichigaki: He he he...  [Thinking]  Fools...  They are very thick.  They will hate me more.  They will have a harder time fighting against the other three...!!!
