Summary: The MKR girls get involved in the RG Veda mess.
Taishakuten:</b> What I want... is to keep my promise.
There were many who feared me and it served my purposes.
Souma: [watching him very carefully]
So you're saying you have no ill intentions towards this child?
Fuu: [just watching, confused]
Umi: Then I'd like to hear his reasons [stares at Souma and then lowers sword a bit]Well, I don't fear you. What promise is that?
Ashura: [watching too]
Taishakuten: I won't kill him if I don't have to. That was his wish...
[Looks at Umi closely, but not answering]
Souma: You won't kill him at all! [D<]
Fuu: I'm afraid that doesn't answer the question about your reasons... Taishakuten-san?
Umi: [very intrigued, takes a step toward him] His... wish? But why would you have to kill Ashura to fulfill it?
Ashura: Ashura... wants to know, too. What it is that Taishakuten wants so badly to kill Gigei and everyone.
Taishakuten: If the six stars will gather and the profecy will come true I will kill the child of former Ashura-ou.
That is my promise and I don't care how many will die and suffer for it.
Souma: How can you be so callous about the lives of others?!
Fuu: [thinking...]
[... Fuu is so helpful... ;;;;;]
Umi: [a bit to herself] A promise strong enough to kill for it...
[to Tai] If it's that important to you, then what's with that prophecy? What will happen if it comes true? And what on earth are those "Six Stars"??
Ashura: [to Umi] It's because of the prophecy that Yasha found Ashura and that we're travelling to Zenmi-jou! [he's not too sure of the details himself]
Taishakuten: [Listens to Souma, but only looks at her for an answer]
I believe Souma knows this profecy, even if she doesn't understand it fully.
As for the six stars, There are two present and third one is in this world as well.
[[Bloody hard work answering to so many questions.]]
Souma: The six stars.... [...downcast look]
They're people.
Fuu: So... Three of these six stars are here in Kiseki? And Taishakuten-san will only kill Ashura-san if all of them will come here?
Umi: People? Then that means.... [looks at Souma, then back at Tai] The prophecy couldn't be fulfilled in this world, right? If you don't have to kill anyone then there's no reason for us to be enemies...
Ashura: [is trying to comprehend that Taishakuten suddenly isn't after his head] [still clinging to Souma]
[[Ashura is so helpful, too]]
Taishakuten: And when they gather You'll break the heaven. [Looks at Ashura]
There is another seal, but it would be lot safer to kill at least one of the stars now so the first seal won't break. [Materializes (or whatever) his sword turning his face towards Souma]
Souma: [steels herself, ready to fight to the death (...again)]
I won't let it happen!
Fuu: [shocked][moves closer to Souma] Please, don't do it, Taishakuten-san!
Umi: STOP RIGHT THERE! [stands before Souma and the others, facing Tai] You don't have to do this!! If it's not necessary to kill anybody, then don't force us to fight you!
Ashura: Ashura won't let you harm Souma! [tries to get between Tai and her]
Taishakuten: And how could you be sure that the other three and that woman won't arrive in to this world?
But it could prove interesting to see how those of the outside tenkai would fare against me.
Souma: [trying to hold Ashura back]
Ashura, please...!
[Turns to the others:]
I can't ask you to fight with me. Taishakuten is... a mighty warrior.
Umi: [not lowering her guard nor her sword] You're saying there's a seal!! A seal's necessary to fulfill the prophecy!! If that seal's not in this world then there's no reason to fight! The prophesy couldn't be fulfilled!
Ashura: [getting ready to use his flame]
Fuu: Ah, Umi-san has a point... If there is something like that, there shouldn't be any danger..
What would happen if the prophesy was fulfilled?
Taishakuten: Three of the six stars are here already. The other Seal might break even easier.
Kendappa-ou would not wan't to see you killed by anyone other than her... Should I kill her in stead?
The Real Asura would be released.
Souma: [f----fear]
Don't you dare to lay your hands on her!!
Umi: [to Tai] Don't think for a moment that I'm letting you kill anybody!! If I have to fight you then I will, no matter how powerful you are!
[looking over at Ashura, confused] The... real... Ashura?
Ashura: Don't kill Kendappa-ou! Iif you must kill someone, then kill Ashura!!
Fuu: This seems like such a difficult situation...
The "real" Ashura-san? [o__O] But I agree with Umi-san. We cannot let you kill anyone.
Taishakuten: Hmph. Foolish.
I will change the course of the stars. Only if it cannot be changed I will kill you.
Souma: Ashura, your life isn't to be bartered with!
Umi: Then how can you be so sure it cannot be changed?? There has to be a way that doesn't involve killing someone! [D8<]
Ashura: [to Souma] But Ashura can't let Souma or Kendappa-ou get killed!
Fuu: Ashura-san... I think you shouldn't just sacrifice yourself for others like that. We should fight together. I find it very wrong if one should suffer for everyone.
Taishakuten: I have said this before. I don't care how many will die or suffer to do it, but I will change the course of stars.
Souma: [getting her throwing moons ready]
If you don't intend to do anything but taunt us today, leave this child alone!
Umi: [ready to use her magic if she has to] There has to be a way you can keep true to your promise without killing anyone! We'll even help you find it!
Ashura: [will abandon martyr complex for now, since Fuu made sense] [doesn't say anything, just looks at Tai]
Fuu: [happy that he did] [nodding at Umi a lot.] We will do anything we can to end this peacefully. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
Taishakuten: [Turns to face the Welcome center] If you so wish to stay alive, then stay away from this building and I'll let you go.... For now.
Souma: [places her hands on Ashura's shoulders, tense, considering a safe retreat]
Umi: Okay! I'm sick of this riddle game! [points sword at Tai] We can help you keep your promise peacefully or we can just be enemies! So choose now: do you wanna make a truce or do you want us to do this the hard way?
Ashura: Umi! Don't!
Fuu: [gets ready to help Umi if something bad happens]
Taishakuten: I trust no one in this matter. If you'll stand in my way I'll kill you, but not today.
Souma: [Taking a step back, tugging Ashura along gently]
Ashura, let us go.
[This fight requires more planning :(]
Umi: [[Feel free to kick my butt some other day, Tai. XD]]
[looks a bit crestfallen] I'm not afraid of you! But... not trusting anyone sounds lonely. It's foolish of you not to accept our help.
Ashura: But... Umi and Fuu...
Fuu: If we don't know everything we can't know if we can help or not... [To Ashura] Yes, you should go. We'll be fine. [^^]
Taishakuten: It is lonely to be in the world without the one you love...
Souma: [s-shocked look]
Umi: [getting HUGE Zagato vibes here] Wait! The one you love? Is that the person you made this promise to...?? [;o;] Is that why it's so important?
Ashura: [tugging at Souma's hand, wanting her to stop, 'cause now he's curious]
Fuu: [needless to say, getting the Zagato vibes too] Oh dear...
Taishakuten: [Doesn't answer]
Souma: [...]
No matter what the reason, it doesn't excuse your actions.
Umi: Hey... [feeling more sad for Tai than angry now] You may still change your mind sometime, you know? Just... think about it...>
[[Apparently, HTML hates me. I can't get it right. -__-]]
