~Notes~
I apologize for any delay, my birthday was this past Wednesday (1/31) and I didn’t feel like writing. ^^
Episode 50 The Sin of an Assassin
Shuriken turns slowly, grasping his Avenger in hand. Do you still insist on standing in my way?
Ivy stares at Sasha, and then Tide, both of whom lay motionless on the ground, bathed in blood. She shuffles in front of Lily, stretching out her arms once again, and meeting Shurikens cold glare. Yes. Yes, I will!
~Notes~
Enjoy it while it lasts, if you’re an Arai fan. This is the last you’ll see of him for a very long while.
Episode 49 Lightning Strikes Again!
In a moments ringing silence, Kunai averts his eyes to the gigantic, smoking crater standing in the ground between he and Azuma. His breathing is ragged, as sinks to the floor, depleted of his energy.
Episode 48 Hidden Beneath the Sands of Time
Kunai stares again, the face of Ivy having reappeared on the body before him. He nods, and grabs her outstretched hand. Within seconds, Kunai finds himself standing outside on the stalagmite plain once more.
Lesson Three, Azuma says next to him, is finished.
Kunai stumbles to one knee, his body exhausted from the continual training. He stretches out his hands to stop himself from falling completely flat on his face. At this moment, he gasps, noticing that Myou has returned to its claw form. He also realizes at once that his Scorpio set has returned.

Episode 46 C.C.C.
The fundamental three Cs I will teach you are as follows: control, concentrate, and compress. Azuma is standing once again atop the stone platform towering high above the rest of the plain.
Kunai stands from the middle of the field, gazing in awe at the figure hovering high above him. They are, Azuma continues, the last you will learn today. However, what you learn today will form the complete basis for tomorrows lesson. Therefore, it is absolutely important that you learn and master these skills before days end.
~Notes~
You know, I’ve been planning this chapter for ages. It feels good to finally finish it. ^^
Episode 47 The Howl of a Monster
The sun gleams cheerfully above in a tender blue sky, shedding its warm, comforting light upon those of the realm Asgard. Arai, Yttrius, and Kunai sit at a table under a white pavilion, eating a light breakfast.
Kunai stares gloomily at his plate of bacon and eggs, picking them apart with his fork. Whats wrong, Kunai? Arai asks, noticing Kunais foul mood. Youve got to eat up, you know. Todays lesson is going to be the most difficult.
~Notes~
Remember when I said there would be 81 chapters? Well, it’s now at 104. And that number will definitely go up as I finish revising.
Episode 45 Glimmering Blade
Then, Kunai replies, lets get this done in three days.
Fine, Azuma retorts. If you insist upon it, we shall complete your training in three days. I shall teach you using the quicker method, but it is much more dangerous. Do not make me regret showing it to you.
The howling wind carries the siphoned voices of warcries,
Stifled only by the choking darkness of death.
Thus, begins the search for that lightless void.
Episode 43 Training Commences: Lightning Strikes!
Silence! Azuma cries. You stand upon a battlefield. The ground on which you conduct battle is no place for speeches. Only ruthless fighting happens here. Kill, or be killed. Talk, pause, leave a single opening, and the tip of a metal blade will pierce your side.
Episode 44 The Unsealing of Power Through a Split Soul!
A stunning flash of blue suddenly cuts through the air, slashing through Kunais eyes and reaching far deeper into the very depths of his soul. As the sword is drawn out, Kunai feels a powerful, explosive surge rush through his body. He collapses onto both knees, and screams out loud, as his very soul is torn apart.
Part 3 of 3. Main story will resume on January 11, 2007.
Phoneme Series #5 Holiday Special! End!
Kidnapped?! Gwen gasps, dashing to the side of the panicking Happyville Ranger.
Arai turns to glance at Ryuu, raising an eyebrow. Ryuu returns the glance, and Arai nods subtly, turning his attention back to Gwen and the male ranger.
Yes, the Happyville Ranger mutters urgently, this ransom note was left behind.
Yes..there’s still a Part 3 to this extra. *F5’s* Oh well, I used the opportunity to work on my battle scenes. =D
Phoneme Series Extra #4 Holiday Special
Ryuus eyes widen, as the dragon charges its devastating attack. Who the hell are you?! he shouts in the air.
A member of the Shalom Clan, and nothing more, the figure answers in an icy tone. Words are futile. I have no more that I wish to discuss with you folk. Be gone.
