RYOKO 34

I've always liked Zen, but after this chapter --heck, this arc I actually think he's kinda cool now.

Volume 34: THE ENCOUNTER

002
(Sfx- Dosaah thuud)

003
(Sfx- Zaah zaaah zaaah tmptmtmp)
(Sfx- Zohhhh)
Rere: Dammitall....

004
Rere: Who knew shooting someone....
Leaves this kind of horrible aftertaste?
I can't keep hanging here...
Ryoko's bound to be fine.
I gotta find Whitey and Ryousuke and get the hell out of this forest.

005
(Sfx- Guooooh)
Zen: Ngggggggh....
I will protect....
The...
Grand General!!

006
Ubume: He's opening up his wounds?!
Stop right there Melon!!
(Sfx- Pitaaah poit)
Ubume: I thought it was strange you were able to break through those reinforced restraints....
To think your ability to rot...
Would be strongest in your blood...
Zen: Hah..
Hah...
Hah...
Hah...
And it'd be easy to rot things now.
Hah.

007
Zen: Now then, come at me any way you want.
Not that it matters as I'm going to rot anything you throw at me.
Ubume: You're like a human weapon....
How sad.
(Sfx- Gyunyahh winnnd)
Zen: Wha? Our surroundings are...
Ubume: If it's come to this, then I think I'll stop here.
There's no parent in this world that takes joy in watching their children get hurt.
Zen: Wh—hey! Come back here!!
Ubume: Besides, with that much blood loss you'll die before long anyway.
Though, let me tell you something..

008
Ubume: The floor of which your blood is polluting....
As well as the walls
and the ceiling...
In fact everything around you is..
made of foodstuffs.
I'll properly dispose of you all later, so there's no need to worry.
I no longer need you....
My imperfect children.
(Sfx- Zunnn)
Ryousuke: General! The Room is wiggling around!!
Zen: Imperfect Children?

009
Ryousuke: General!!
Zen: Yeah....
It seems like this place is completely made of foodstuffs....
So we should get out of here fast.
(Sfx- Gohhh thoooom)

010
Zen: What the heck are these things?
Are they foodstuffs?
(Sfx- Doooonn thoom)
Zen: You get out of here first!
And don't you dare look back, got it?!
(Sfx- Zoooooooh whooooom)

011
Zen: Just keep running!!!

012
Zen: Guaaaah!!!
Step off....
Jerk!!
I'm not letting you through!!!
(Sfx- Dosuhh thoook)

013
{My body is getting heavy...}
Zen: I can't rot these guys....!!
{Hey don't go blacking out on me now.}
{Please just let me keep running...}
{Ten seconds....hell, I'll even take one.}
{Just give me the strength to buy Ryousuke some time to get away!!}
Zen: Why would that woman make foodstuffs that are half concrete....

014
(Sfx- Doshsaaaah thudd)
Zen: Didn't I tell you not to look back?!

015
{If Ryousuke can get out of here alive that's all that matters...!!}
(Sfx-Booofuhhh)
(Sfx- Dooohh whooom)
(Sfx- Gashhiiih Grab)

016
(Sfx- Baahhh fwaaah)
(Sfx- Zuuuun doooom)
(Sfx- Michimichimichimichii grrnnnnnnd)
Ryousuke: General....

017
Zen: Dammit whoulda thought our Grand General would take after his big sister?
You've got guts.
(Sfx- Jyuuuwahh)

018
Parsley: Oh my.
Ryoko: Zen-kun?! Ryousuke?!
