Chapter One: Determination at a Chance of a Lifetime

Page 1

Between people, there is only one chance to meet each other...

Jacket: Alright, our work here is done.
Hey, let's go home! Hurry up, Wanwan!

WanWan: Woof!

Jacket: This world's about to turn into a huge mess… We’ve gotta get out of here before it starts…
WanWan: Woof...
Jacket: Uwah...

SFX: Hit!

Jacket: Hey! Watch where you’re going- eh?

SFX: Splash

Jacket: Wanwan-!!

Year 3 at 火野 [Huo Ye] Middle School
Mori Ai [sen Ai]
15 years old

Mori: Crap...I'm going to be late!
I'm leaving!

Mori's Dad: Oh, okay! Today's graduation, right?

Page 5:

Do you want me to drop you off halfway?

Mori: Nope! I can deal with my own problems! ST: Don't worry, dad! Next panel ST: I'm going now...

Mori's Dad: (She used to be so dependent on her parents…) ST: Mori's growing up!

That's right! I've decided, my problems should be solved by myself! But still, this doesn't mean I've grown up...

Page 6:

It's because I hate relying on others!

Mori: Ooh...I'm already late...
SFX: [Ke!] *Trip!*
Wa ah ah ah ah! Ow...

Even though it's redundant, I still want to emphasize it again...

Page 7

Stranger: Are you okay, Miss? Here, I'll help you up...
Next Panel ST: Why?

I absolutely hate relying on others! Obviously, there’s a reason for this. It's because...

SFX: [Hu, huu.]

Kid: Hahaha! Move it, I wanna try!
Crap, I missed!

Dog: Woof woof!!

Kid 2: Then throw it again!

Page 8:

Kid (throwing): Take this! Stupid dog!

Kid 3 (eating) ST: Quit throwing...

Kid 2 (with video game) ST: Hahaha...

Kid: Crap! Mori: Geez! They even bully dogs...
ST: These kids are hopeless!

Kid ST: Crap, missed again…

Mori: Hey...

Mystery: HEY!!

Mori: Huh?!

Yeah.

Mystery: What did that dog ever do to you?

The reason why I hate relying on people...

Page 9

Is him.

Year 3 at 火野 [Huo Ye] Middle School
Ueki Kousuke [Zhi Mu Geng Zhu]
15 years old

Ueki: That dog looks really pitiful!

Page 10

Kids: YOU LOOK MORE PITIFUL!

Ueki: What if you managed to hit the dog and it got injured?

Kid 1: What?! You’re the one who’s seriously injured!

Ueki: Oh, this? This was because I just saved a kid that was playing in traffic and I got hit instead.

Kid: Then go to the hospital! Hmph! It’s all your fault I don’t have any interest in this anymore! ST: Let's go! Don't bother us again!

Dog: Woof woof!!

Ueki ST: I'll come rescue you now.

Yes... I hate relying on others...

Page 11

because it’s all this "Putting others before himself" kind of person's fault!

Page 12

Ueki: Hey, Mori! What are you doing?

Dog: Woof?

Mori: Forget me, what are YOU doing? ST: Caring for animals like this…

Ueki: Oh right, isn’t it graduation today?

Mori: It's all your fault that I'm late! She was already late anyways.

Ueki: But I just can’t leave the dog like this…

Mori: You’re always like this… eh?

Page 13

Wanwan (the 'dog' being rescued): Woof?

Mori: Aww... (EH?? Isn’t this a sheep?! But why did it just 'woofed'?)

Ueki: Ah! It hurt its leg! ST: I gotta go take him to the hospital!

Mori: (Hospital?)

Ueki: Then I'm going to skip school today!

Mori: Ah! Wait a second! You shouldn't have forgotten about the 'meeting' right? I've already told you about it!

Hello? Oh, it’s you, Rinko!

Rinko: Yes! Winter break in Japan is coming up…

Mori: What? You're coming to Japan?

Page 13:

Rinko: Mhm, I'm actually coming to take the university exam...and I also thought I should visit my old friends.

Mori: Right! Then we should meet up! I’ll contact the rest!

Sano: What? We’re going to meet up finally?
You guys are about to have your exams right? What should I get? Ah, then let's have a onsen party! There’s this one I've found in central Africa...

Mori: Sano! We’re going to meet up in Japan…

Hideyoshi: Mori, is that you?

Kids ST: Let's play! Hideyoshi, come on!

Hideyoshi: Next next week? OK! Ow! I can't wait...ow! I’m…really excited… GET OFF OF ME, YOU BRATS!!

Page 14

Mori: Still busy, huh?

Hideyoshi: Yeah, but I'm still really happy!

Mori: Yeah! Hahahaha! See you!

Hideyoshi: Okay, bye!

Ueki: Oh!

Mori: Don't just 'oh' me! ST: Don't forget to come! Geez...

I have a group of 'special' friends, they're not like any ordinary friends... Two years ago, I was just an ordinary middle schooler, living an ordinary life… But one day, I was suddenly entered into a crazy battle that was meant to pick the next God! Obviously, things weren’t so easy…

Page 15

Power user after power user were all coming at us… And there were even Hellions bent on destroying the world...

And even now, it’s still hard to believe that all this happened when everything is so peaceful now…

Still, it wasn't all that horrible. Because to me, those were my days with my ' important friends'.

And this guy is one of them... And we’ve never stopped contact!

Mori: Listen up, two o' clock we'll be meeting in [Er Ding Mu] Park! And if you don’t want to come, then that’s fine…

Ueki: No, I'll come!

Page 16

Oh yeah! Do you need an excuse for being late? ST: I’ll help….

Mori: No, I don't want to have to bother others!

Ueki: What does that mean?

Mori: It means you shouldn't butt into people's business!

Ueki: But...

Mori: I just said I didn’t want your help!

The reason why I don't want to rely on others...is because two years ago in that battle you saved my life!
Whenever I was in danger, you didn't even think and just charged in to save me! In the end, I didn't help at all… I only caused trouble for everyone!

What does 'for the sake of others' mean anyway?! Don't force your own ideas on others!

Page 17

Ueki: No, I just...Ah!

Jacket: (It’s around here somewhere...but the signal’s fading… The tracker must have broken when it fell into the river.
I have to bring Wool back, otherwise I haven’t finished the mission… I have to find it before things get messy…)

SFX: [Duu, duu.] Beeping

Stranger: Hey! You think you can just walk off like that?

Page 18

Mori: (Don't force your own ideas on others!)
ST: Others! Others! Others!
(That was way too uncalled for...Ueki is probably really upset!) Wuuu…

Type of person that always feels guilty

Mori: (Next time I see him I’ll apologize..)
SFX: Sigh..

Classmate: UWAH!

Classmate 2: Woah!

Classmate: What the hell? I told you to stop!

Random Classmate: Hurry and tell the teacher!

Mori: Huh? Huh?!

Page 19

Random Classmate: Wait...isn't that D class' San Tian and Ling Yuan? They're best friends! What happened? Strange...

Ling Yuan: Geez...I just asked if you could return my CD...

San Tian: I just said I don’t know what you’re talking about! You’ve been going on about this ‘borrowing’ crap when I never borrowed a CD before…
And also…

Who are you?

Page 20

Mori: (Huh?)

Random Classmate: What are you talking about? He's Ling Yuan!

Micchan: Ai-chan!

Mori: Oh, Micchan!

Micchan: Not good!

Mori: What happened?

Micchan: Dun...dunno, but... The school's gotten really weird! People who usually get along well…don’t remember each other anymore!

Page 21

What?! What happened?!

Classmate: What do you mean you 'forgot'?! There’s a standard for pulling pranks...!! Wait!

Classmate 2: You're the one that's making no sense! And also, who are you?

What's happening?

Girl Classmate: Hey! Stop it!

Page 22

Mori: (How could this...)

People who usually get along well…don’t remember each other anymore!

(Is this some sort of nightmare?)
SFX: [Huu, huu.]

TV: And next up: Cases of memory loss have now spread rampant around the world… The cause is not known yet, though some say it's the effect of a new virus...

What? What's happening?

SFX: [Huu, huu.]

Mori: (I gotta tell everyone!

Page 23

Where...Where is everyone?

It's already past the meeting time... What if they were held up by something?)

SFX: Ringing

Rinko: Hello?

Mori: Ah! Is this Rinko? Great! Where are you now?

Page 24

Rinko: May I ask who this is?

Mori: Huh?

Rinko: I think you've got the wrong number!

Mori: No, wait! (…what is this?)

Sano: Hello?

Mori: Ah! Hello- is this Sano? It's me! Mori!

Sano: Mori...who's that?

Page 25

It's just a joke, right? Rinko and Sano... Hideyoshi...they've all forgotten me. And I can’t call Ueki…

Voice operator: The number you are dialing does not exist, please try again…

Mori: How did this... ST: Huh? What...

Page 26

Jacket: Right, did you happen to see a dog...no, I should probably say it's a sheep...

Mori: (Who is this guy...?)

Jacket: Ah, I should hurry up and find him soon... Gotta leave before this world goes crazy…

Mori: (Eh?)

Page 27

Excuse me! Do you know what's happening right now?
Wait! Please tell me!

Jacket: How annoying.
SFX: [Ke La]
Miss... Want to try this?
SFX: Touch

Mori: (Huh?

Page 28

What, what was that...?)

Jacket: Later.

Mori: (This guy...is a power user?!)

Jacket: So troublesome!

Mori: (No, he's not normal! He must know what's happening! Crap!)

Page 29

Have you seen a dog around here...no, I should say 'sheep'.

Mori: I...I've seen that sheep!

SFX: Stands still

Mori: So tell me...what's going on?

Jacket: You're not lying to me, are you?

If you're bluffing, then you'll turn out like him!

SFX: Swallows

Jacket: Alright then, no hurt in telling you.

Page 30

Soon, everyone in this world...
will loose the memory of their most important persons.

Mori: …huh?

Jacket: Did you know?
The human brain uses over a billion memory 'spaces'.

Three days ago, I took out of those billion spaces the 'third dimension' space from everyone in this world.

That's right!

Page 31

The ‘third dimension space’ is the one that remembers the ‘most important persons’.
Once this 'third dimension' space is gone, these memories are gone. That's why in the last two, three days everyone was starting to lose their memories of their most important persons..

ST: Even the memory of the first meeting is completely gone!

Those 'third dimension spaces' are stored inside that 'sheep'.
To make a long story short, my job is to take him back.

Page 32

Alright! So tell me where that sheep is! You probably know that what I’m saying is true, right?

Mori: (Then...everyone didn't forget the time and place...but they really forgot who I was? Sano did…and Hideyoshi and Rinko did too…

And...)

What does 'for the sake of others' mean anyway?! Don't force your own ideas on others!

Page 33

(I...didn't think that things would turn out this way. I'm sorry, Ueki...
but,
it's too late to apologize to you...)

Jacket: Not talking? You didn't know where it was, did you? Then, let's seal our agreement...
And get ready to die!

Page 34

Jacket SFX: WUAH AH AH AH!

Mystery: I finally found you! My cell phone died when I went into the river, so I couldn't contact you...

Page 35

Ueki!!

Ueki: What happened, Mori? There wasn't a single person at the park!

Page 36

Mori: You, you still remember that? You remember me? Hey, hey! ST: Uwah uwah! SFX: Tug

Ueki: Of course! ST: What memory? Let go of me.

Mori: Wahhh!

Ueki: Oh yeah! Who's that guy?
ST: I didn’t even think about it when I kicked him away.

Mori: Actually...

Wanwan: Wu…

Jacket: Found it!

Ueki: Stolen memory?

Mori: Mm.

Jacket: Hey kid, that sheep's mine! Give it back, will ya?

Mori: Ueki, run away...

Ueki: Oh yeah!

Page 37

If I beat this guy up, I can make him tell us how to bring back the memory spaces!

Mori: Ueki, don’t! Just run! That guy isn't a normal person! Did you forget?
You can't...use your sacred treasures or heavenly power!
After that last battle, everyone lost their power...and you almost used up all your zais, you can't even use the sacred treasures!

Page 38

Just by looking at your strength right now compared to having the treasures...you’re just an ordinary person now!

Ueki: I know!

Because of this... I can't just leave a crybaby like you alone.

Jacket: Hmph! You don't want to give me back the sheep? Then...

Page 39

What do I gotta do to make you give it back?

Mori: Ueki!!

Ueki: I'll give you this instead!

Jacket: (That move wasn't half bad, this guy...) Hmph! Brat!! (If this goes on for too long, it’ll turn into a mess....)

Page 40

Ueki: Wait, his palms...

Jacket: The power...of dynamite...

Page 41

In the form of chalk!

Ueki/Mori: Formation power?!

Jacket: Then... Take this!

Page 42

Ueki: He’s throwing chalk...? What?

Mori: (Chalk?!) No! That chalk…

Page 43

Jacket: Just by touching the chalk…it’ll blow up!

Mori: (This...this guy...)

Ueki: WUAH AH AH AH!

Mori: (Is actually a power user!)

Jacket: DIE.

Page 44

Mori: Ueki! Stop it!! You're only hurting yourself! You don't have to do this…
(I have to help him!)

Page 45

Because of this... I can't just leave a crybaby like you alone.

(I can't have Ueki getting hurt because of me!)

Ueki: UWAH AH AHAH!

Mori: (I can't depend on Ueki anymore!)
Ueki!! I'm okay now! Didn't I already say I wasn't going to rely on others now?
Listen to me! Even though I’ll lose my memories… We still have the chance to meet again...

Page 46

Then...

If we meet again... (I shouldn't rely on him anymore...)
I know that everyone will become good friends again...

So...so it's okay... (I can't rely anymore...)

Page 47

(But I still...I still don't want to forget everyone!)

Ueki: Don't worry!

I'm...going to bring back everyone's memories.

Page 48

I'll defiantly find a way.

Page 49

Trying to persuade me won’t work. This is my own decision!

Page 50

Wanwan: Wuu…

Jacket: You're the first to have survived for so long after all those chalk explosions! But...after this…. It'll be the end!

SFX: Spin

Huh?! ST: Blocked?

Mori: Eh?!

Jacket: What?!

Page 51

Wanwan: I'm Wool! [Zhong Chaun WuEr]!

Mori: (It can talk-!! ST: And it just grew sideburns!)

Jacket: You freaking sheep, you've betrayed me! And I've even took care of you like I was raising a dog!
In the end you've betrayed my good intentions!

Wool: Your ‘intentions’ was already paid back ten times! I'm a satisfaction guaranteed type of dog!

Ueki: Why do you want to help me?

Wool: Because you've rescued me from near death. I'm indebted to you now!
Also, I've taken an interest in you.

So take stand, Ueki!

Page 53

From now on, you're going to be my master!

Page 54 Ueki: Really?

Wool: Of course! ST: Don't think too hard about it!

Jacket: Heh, you brat... You've got yourself an ally with MY partner that fast?
Still, I have to take back that sheep! Sorry!
Even if I have to kill you, I have to bring him back!

Ueki: Hey, Mr. Sheep, is your fur really tough?

Wool: I'm a dog!! Don’t forget that!

Jacket: So you're saying... You want act as a shield for my ex-ally?!

Mori: (Ueki!!)

Ueki: Hai ya hai ya hai ya!!

SFX: [Ke! Ke!]

Jacket/Mori: (It’s the opposite, Wool’s being the shield instead!!)

Page 55

Jacket: No! How can you-how can you deflect it so easily? Just one touch should have sent you flying!

Calmly being thrown around.

Ueki: While you were holding the chalk, you hands didn't explode. So it means the middle part of the chalk is fine!

SFX: Shocked

Ueki: So if I just aim for that area, I can deflect no problem!

Currently using the sheep to block.

Ueki: I'll defiantly find a way.

So that's why.

Page 56

Mori: (I'm just a burden to everyone!)

So that's why I wanted to become the kind of person that doesn't have to rely on others. Because I hate the pain that the other is going through.

But I'm wrong!

SFX: *Clench*

Actually, the real pain isn't the helplessness or the need to rely on others,
the real pain is not having anyone to rely on!

I understand....

Page 57

Mori: Haha!

I'm such an idiot!

Jacket: How…how could a brat like you know this?!

Ueki: Sorry, Mister...My fighting style is...

Page 58-59 Unexpectedly complex!

Page 60

Ueki: What do we do now? I wanted to ask him how to bring back the memories...
ST: He fainted

Wool: It's okay, I'll explain instead!
To release the 'three dimension' memory spaces within me, we’ll have to go back into my world.

Ueki: Really? Okay, let's go!

Wool: Let me finish!
But, Ueki can only go...
Only you.

Mori: W-why? I want to go too...

Wool: Didn't this guy explain to you already? Your world's about to completely lose all of its 'memory spaces'.
To put it in another way, you’re not going to help if you have no clue who Ueki is.
Besides, you want your memory back, right?

Mori: Ooh...
But why can Ueki...

Wool: By spending the entire day with him, I've found out...

Page 61

This guy's 'third dimension memory space' hasn't been taken. He's the only one in the world who still has his!
I don't know why it turned out this way, but you must have a special reason.
In other words, you're our only hope.

Ueki: Really? Okay, then let's go!

Wool: Just finish listening first!

But the problem isn't this.

Once you get there, you're going to meet a lot of enemy power users!
Because, in my world...75% of the population is made up of power users!

You still want to go?

Ueki: Yeah, I want to.

Mori: Wa-wait!

Page 62

B-but...I'm still unable to go...!!

SFX: Tap

Ueki: Can you do me a favor?
I can only ask you to do this!

Don't forget me!
This way I can leave without worrying, okay?

Mori: Ueki...

Ueki: Huh?

SFX: Chop!

Ueki: OW!!

Mori: (Thank you, Ueki...
I definitely won't forget you!)

Go on, idiot!

Page 65

Ueki: OKAY!

To meet a particular someone happens only once in a lifetime...

This one moment, sometimes is more important than life itself.

Mori: Eh?

To meet again...

Mori: Eh? Who was I talking to just now?
ST: Huh?

Is merely based on luck.

Page 66

Yes.
By next meeting...the two sides will have become enemies...

END

I’d like to clarify: Wanwan is a cute nickname for dogs so instead of mixing up the two alter egos, I will use Wanwan when it is unable to talk and Wool when it…grows sideburns. >>;;

Also a big thankyou to Bomber D. Rufi for supplying me with the Japanese names! :D
