Meteo Emblem 2

051
Narrator: Several days earlier.
Aris: ... Man. The weather hasn't gotten any better. Now I have no choice but to pick up my laundry as it is./Aaaaah. How much time before I can see the end of it...?
*Star #2 "Host of the Star Accursed".
Aris: !

052
Aris: My Guardian Star... radiating on its own accord...?
Flashback!Zaun: Aris, my pupil, heed my words. One day, your Guardian Star will radiate spontaneously./Which means something will have happened to me. A sign that the hands of your destiny have been set in motion...//When that time comes, you are to do as I said.

053
*Star #2 "Host of the Star Accursed".

054
Aris: (It's giving out light... Just like it did the last time./Pretty much as if it was resonating with the boy's Guardian Star.)
Tatouman: Kh!/(What a crushing pressure...)//Aaaarh! Now you die!!

055
Tatouman: What?!//!

056
Tatou&Aris: ......
Dan: RAAAAAAH

057
Dan: (Why?)/?/?/(I was merely trying to run...)
Tatouman: (...The heck's wrong with this guy...?/He ran headlong into the wall...)
Aris: (Is... Is he okay?!)
Dan: This time I'll get him for good!)
Tatouman: (Could he actually... by any chance...)

058
Dan&Aris: Yikes.
Tatouman: ......../Yeah, thought so...

059
Aris: ... Ha./Cough/ Cough.//Dang it... Today's really an unlucky day./I've kept falling from high place... being soaked in water!//To say nothing of trying to get my clothes dry......../!//...[tn: Wow! Did I download the wrong manga?]

060
Aris: Aaaaaaaaah.//(Aaah. My... my hips./My hips won't moooooove.)//Heeeey. Hurry up and get out of heeeeere.*kicking and struggling*
Tatouman: You're still unable to control your Guardian Star./I guess that's it, lad!
Aris: .......
Dan: Uuuuh.

061
Aris: Quick! Get out of here, I say!!
Dan: Uh...
Tatouman: In that case./I have the advantage.
Dan: What?//Oh no. Don't you dare look down upon me!
Tatouman: The mood.

062
Tatouman: Read the mood.
Dan: !!//I... I'll hit him!!//.... Eh?!

063
Aris: Be careful, will you.../Are you trying to kill Rikan-sensei or what?//If you can't control your power, stay out of the fight!!
Flashback!Zaun: ... Make sure you never forget.

064
Flashback!Zaun: The Guardian Star you host goes by the nickname of Star Accursed!!/A dangerous star, its power so incommensurable it consumes its wearer!!//Incommensurable might is only one step removed from destructive.//If you err in the way you use it.../Dan! Its nefarious power will devour you. Which is why it goes by the name of Star Accursed.

065
Dan: ...!!
Tatouman: Friggin' spacing out... Thought so. You're still wet behind the ears.

066
Tatouman: Originally you weren't meant to be the vessel for that Guardian Star.//Know your own place./Only one person on the face of the Earth would be able to handle it, so to speak.//The point is//I'm taking it back. It might hurt a bit, so deal.

067
Tatouman: ...!!
Aris: Sto... stop it!/The Guardian Star... has fused with his body.//If you pull it out by force/you'll kill him!
Tatouman: ... Hey, young lady. Ya know...

068
Tatouman: I'm perfectly aware of that!!
Aris: Unh..../(I can't use my strength properly. Because of my bad hip? Or because of fear?!)[tn: “Koshinuke”, or “disjointed hip” is Japanese for “coward” (don't ask). Given the situation, there might be a pun, hence the translation.]

070
Aris: ...!!

070
Aris: Cough./Cough cough.

071
Tatouman: Bloody little tart./Are you so full of yourself you won't take me seriously...?//You'll be the first to go.//I WILL KILL YOU DEAD!!

072
Dan: Excuse me.../At this range, even a newbie should do fine, right?
Tatouman: ...Hh!!

074
Dan: Phew.//Hey, you./You're alive?
Aris: ........ ... Aren't you... a rude one./I have a name, you know, and it's Aris.

075
Dan: ...../Got it, Aris... You gonna be fine? Your body, I mean.
Aris: ... I've seen better days... But no lethal injuries./If I had to complain, that'd be about you slamming into my hip. It's in a pretty rough shape.
Dan: Sorry about that.../But maybe you can forgive me, since I've saved the old guy.
Aris: ...! That's right! Rikan-sensei!!/He's had fingers inserted into his brain!
Dan: Well... By the looks of things it didn't go much farther than his scalp./Provided he gets first-aid, his life shouldn't be in any...

076
Dan: danger...

077
Aris: Da. DAN!!//...!!
Tatouman: Never thought I'd have to go all-out.../On a shit-faced fuck like you...

078
Aris: No.../No way...//Is he... human at all...?!

079
Tatouman: Huhu... So it is the first time you've ever seen a mutant.../We are fantastic creatures born of alterations of the human body.//The power of the stellar fragments implanted within our bodies is usually kept in check.../But removal of the safety device lets the Nova run amok.//The body loses its human form/but combat abilities are increased tenfold! ...However

080
Tatouman: Now that it's come to this. I don't have much time left to live.........
Aris: ...!!//... Why........ Why are you going this far...?!
Tatouman: Isn't it obvious?!!//Because my life belongs to my master! For the sake of freedom and for the future.../Because he used the power of the stars to bring forth this magnificent power of mine!!//It is only fitting for such a noble one to possess the Guardian Stars./My master's power will bring change to the world!!

081
Tatouman: From that perspective, my life is a small price to pay!!
Dan: (... Uh...//... Um...? ... What... now... you gonna tell me... to wake up again...?/... but...//... That's right)/No, really...
Tatouman: !
Dan: It's been whispering like forever./Fight... Take him down...//It's probably as dangerous as its name implies.(That's what I think.)

082
Flashback!Zaun: Whether you put the Star Accursed to good use or not is up to you!/Abating the Star Accursed's nefarious power will require you to show strength of will!!
Dan: That power you have is no good./I can tell that much.[tn: No shit. The thing kills its user, genius!!]

083
Tatouman: ...Wha. Why, you.//I don't wanna hear your bullshit!!//Time to settle this!//YOU DIE!!!

084
Aris: (Concentrated Nova turned projectile?/He wasn't lying about his power increasing tenfold...!!//This is dangerous!!)

085
Aris: ... Wh. He. He's not even trying to dodge?!
Dan: ...Whispering always.//Should I lose consciousness/... My Guardian Star will wake me up without fail.//Then it'll tell me... "Unleash my power"./Lest I devour you.

086
Dan: I'd be hard pressed to tell if that power is a good thing or not./I didn't even know what my name was...//But I had that feeling, urging me to use it. And then/The moment I decided to use ths power as a means to protect

087
Dan: The Star whispered to me/Saying it'd lend me its power!!

088
Aris: (His right arm is loaded with Nova!)
Tatouman: Oh, shit. (That's impossible!/The Nova's not merely emitting light//It's assuming a physical form?!!)

089
Dan: I have a question for you.
Tatouman: What?
Dan: Are you gonna die.../Unable to return to your original form?
Tatouman: ??!!//Yes I am! Once the Nova runs free, I die! Such is my fate./AND THAT'S WHY I SHALL TAKE YOU WITH ME!!

090
Dan: ... I see.//KENRYUU SENPUUKEN!!!![tn: Blade-Dragon (Stegosaurus) Whirlwind Fist.]

091
Dan: Then there's no room for hesitation.

092
Tatouman: Gasp.
Aris: (He... He's just...//He's turned my fencing move into a punching attack?!//Did he absorb the technique thanks to the resonance between our Guardian Stars...?! I can't believe it.../But assuming he was trained by the same master as I)
Tatouman: Huhuhu. That power of yours...

093
Tatouman: That's a Star Accursed for you. To think it's been able to grant that much power to a baby like you.../Quick... It must be returned to its owner quickly...
Dan: ..... Who's that master of yours...?
Tatouman: Not to hurry... In time, you'll find out...//I'm not the only one tasked with the recovery of the Star Zaun has stolen/Huhuhu. We'll hunt you to the farthest corners of the Earth for it.//Too bad... My master will create a new world...//Once he gets his hands on its power. I wish... I could have seen it... for myself...

094
Aris: ........//(Everything begins with that Guardian Star. The Star Accursed, as it's called...)
Rikan: Ooh./A letter. That was to be expected.//The area around the stone coffin is in shambles, but the contents are untouched!
Karu: Squeak.
Aris: You're right! There's Zaun-sensei's seal on it!!//Dan-san, can you read at all?
Dan: Of course I can!
Letter: Aris, my beloved disciple.

095
Letter: I suspect you will have gone through a lot by the time you get to read that letter.
Aris: Oh, yes. "A lot" is a good way to put it.
Letter: Since those who are after the Guardian Star are also likely to read it, I can't explain everything in detail...
Aris: ...!!
Letter: But let me tell you this, if anything. Dan's Guardian Star - he's the young boy in the stone coffin - needs to enter in resonance with yours to activate its own power.//In order to make this power perfect and complete, the four of you need to combine your powers and use them to assist him.
Dan: What's this?//Not exactly what I wanted to know.
Aris: ... Uh. The letter continues...
Letter: One last thing...

096
Letter: Dan has authority over the four of you.
Dan: Uh-huh.
Letter: You are to respect him, obey him, and dedicate your lives to him. That's it. From Zaun, with love. *heart heart*
Aris: .......
Dan: I've read that!
Aris: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO!!
Dan: Aaaargh./Fingers to the eyes?!
Aris: Zaun-sensei is an idiot!!/I don't wannaaaaa. Not such a kiiiiiiid.*boo-hoo*
Dan: My... My eyes... I wasn't done reading...
Rikan: .....
Karu: Squeak?
Dan: Aris, my servant! Your master is hungry. Go get some food!
Aris: Shut your trap. My master!![/end
