"OF COURSE a human can be made Sanjiyan by the Humanity Ritual!!!" Chapter Three: Radio: Macho, Macho Man! I've got to be a Macho Man! Macho, Macho Man! An hour had passed after the carnage and events that had taken place in the last chapter. Everyone had finally calmed down, and the sane ones began to focus on the evil that was Benares. Yakumo (rubs his chin): So... what should we do? You guys heard what Benares said, right? Haan (shakes head): Nope. Pai (confused): ? Youko (shakes head): Not me. Youko's Grandpa (points): Look, Maw! Youko's Grandma (points): Look, Paw! Don-chan/Ken-chan (confused): Who's Benares? Jake MacDonald (singing): Maaaacho, Maaacho Maaaan! I've got to be a Maacho Maaaaan! Naparva (singing): Maaaaacho, Maaacho Maaaan! I've got to be a Maacho Maaaan! Natsuko (confused): Huh!? S. Connelly/Maria (confused): Huh? Gupta (confused): Uhh? Mama-san (angry): Windows. New. Steve (laughing): Bwahahahaha. Mexing (confused): Hm? Ling-Ling (singing): Money! That's what I want! Chen Aguri (confused): What am I doing here? Yakumo (stressed): ........ * * * Meanwhile, elsewhere far away, Benares was jumping from rooftop to rooftop like Batman on steroids. There was only one thing on his mind -- getting back to the rooftop where he'd accidently left the Ningen no Zou! He had to get the statue back before some idiotic thrill seeker accidently found it. Sigh. Speaking of idiots, Benares was still puzzled at how he could've actually entrusted an object of such importance to that idiot, Shapeshifter. Only someone desperate could've resorted to such things, and... well, no matter. Soon, Benares shall retrieve it. He's sure of that, if nothing else. And once he had it, he shall proceed to start the Humanity Ritual with Parvati and her Wu. And then, and only then, will the great Kaiyanwang-sama -- And then, it suddenly it him. Oh, the horror of it all. BENARES HAD LEFT THE CONTAINER THAT SHIVA WAS IMPRISONED IN WITH THE NINGEN NO ZOU! Ohh, Mr. Benares. You're gonna be in big trouble now if you don't get back to that rooftop as soon as possible! Quick! To the Benares-mobile! Seconds seemed like minutes and minutes seemed like hours as Benares used his amazing speed to reach his destination. Finally, after traveling for.. oh, about 5 minutes, the Wu found himself back on the rooftop. Benares (looks around): Alright. Now where did I leave them? Benares searched up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, and yet, he found... absolutely nothing. Benares (growls): This can't be! Refusing to believe that the Ningen no Zou and the "Shiva Container" might very well have been stolen, Benares paced up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, then west, south, east, north, backwards, towards, right, left, down, and up. And still, he found nothing -- expect maybe some pennies that other people dropped. Benares (pounds his fists): This cannot be! The Ningen and Kaiyanwang-sama MUST be around here! And so he searched AGAIN. Up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, then west, south, east, north, backwards, towards, right, left, down, and up. And again. Up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, then west, south, east, north, backwards, towards, right, left, down, and up. AND again. Up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, then west, south, east, north, backwards, towards, right, left, down, and up. AND AGAIN! up, down, left, right, towards, backwards, north, east, south, west, then west, south, east, north, backwards, towards, right, left, down, and up. I'll be damned if you didn't get dizzy and/or annoyed after reading that. Wait, no -- Finally, Benares faced the realization that someone must've stolen the goods. Whomever it is, he was sure to make them pay. And so, another search begins! Benares jumped off the rooftop and landed on the pavement, cracking the very cement he stomped on. With his amazing speed, he sped off, not caring and/or knowing where he was even going. * * * Radio: It's alright! It's okay! And you can look the other way! We can try to understand! New York Time's affect on men! Ah hah hah hah! Stayin' Alive! Stayin' Alive! Ah hah hah hah! Stayin' Aliiiive! Back at Mama-san's, everyone was seated on sofas and chairs, and... tables. Well, what was left of the table that served the Christmas dinner, at least. They were all concerned about Benares' plans, and were entertaining possible solutions. Yakumo (folds arms): Benares wants to perform the Humanity Ritual on me and Pai! We can't have that happening! Ling-Ling (rubs chin): Wait a minute, something's wrong. I thought only 3 Sanjiyan can perform the ritual? You're not a Sanjiyan, are you, Yakumo? Yakumo: Yeah, that's what I don't understand -- Sanjiyan (suddenly appears): No, a human CAN be used for the ritual. Everyone (gasps) : What?! Sanjiyan (shrugs): It's not that unusual. Think about it -- when the ritual is completed, two Sanjiyan becomes human. Now, if Sanjiyans can become human beings, doesn't that prove that the genetic makeup of humans and Sanjiyans must be nearly identical? It hasn't been done before, but all things considered, I do believe that human beings CAN be used in the Humanity Ritual -- Steve (sips his drink): Siiiip... yeah, OK. That sounds somewhat plausible and all, but there's a flaw. Human beings do not possess powers like a Sanjiyan Unkara. Wasn't the Humanity Ritual, and more specifically, the Ningen no Zou, created to transfer Sanjiyan powers from one to the other? Sanjiyan (nods): You're right. But let's not forget that Benares' main target is me, and not Yakumo. Perhaps he thinks that Yakumo is good enough to substitute for a 3rd Sanjiyan in the ritual Yakumo does possess the power. S. Connelly (rubs his chin): If that's the case, it shows that he's taking a risk. What if something were to go wrong, and Kaiyanwang-sama and Seima-sama's powers are transfered into Yakumo? And what if Yakumo becomes a Sanjiyan Unkara, due to the new powers? That would be total chaos. The picture that Connelly painted forced Yakumo to imagined himself as a Sanjiyan with freakishly amazing powers... and alternative personalities. That image bothered him. Yakumo (sighs): No, THAT would definitely not be good. How are we going to prevent this from happening? Any ideas? Everyone else (thinking): Hmm... * * * Somewhere in the country side, Benares was hellbent on finding the perpetrater that stole the Ningen and Kaiyanwang-sama. The sun was already rising, and that meant the perpertrater was getting further and further away. But too much thinking is not good for you, Benares! You see, while he was in deep thought about the matter at hand, he failed to pay attention to the direction he was leading himself to. Before you know it, the guy accidently crashed into certain randomly misplaced farm animals. There was a bull with red and blue fur. A green feathered chicken. And an angry yellow goat. Benares (annoyed): Get out of my way. Bull (angry): MOOOO! Chicken (also angry): CROOOCKK! Goat (angry as well): MEEEEEEH! Benares (still annoyed): Idiots! You all are annoying me even more! Bull (prepares to ram): MOOOOOOOOOO! Chicken (prepares to peck): CRRRROOOOCCKK! Goat (prepares to ram): MEEEEEEEEEEEH! Benares (grins): What? You say you want me to apologize? Benares, being the Dragon God that he is, had the ability to understand the animal language. And from what he was hearing, the animals were pissing him off -- yet while amusing him at the same time. How that would be possible, I don't know. Benares (growls): Fools! Do you know who I am?! I'm the great king of dragons! The Dragon King! D-R-A-G-O-N, K-I-N-G! I devour animals like you for snacks! But that title meant jack-diddily-squat to the cattles. Without warning... well, maybe there were a few, but then that'd take away the beauty of this sentence, now wouldn't it? Don't answer that. Either way, the animals attacked! The goat rammed its horns onto Benares' stomach; the bull rammed its horns onto Benares' ass; and the chicken pecked its shap, sharp beak into Benares' head. 'Tis was a sight to behold, and a clip for "When Animals Attacks!"... if only we had a camera present. Finally realizing the fatal mistake he made when he challenged the cattles, Benares ran off and away from the country side as fast as both legs could carry him. Still, the animals were hellbent for an apology, and they gave chase to the red-eyed Wu. Benares (still running): MY GOD! KAIYANWANG-SAMA SAVE ME! Suddenly, out of nowhere, a flash of light appeared before Benares and the animals! The light, apparently and obviously belonging to a superior being, was so bright that it scared the living daylights out of the animals -- literally! Fearing for the worst, the animals spun around and took off. Benares (confused): ..huh? Light (deep, echoing voice): There, there now, fair child. You are now safe from the beasts. Benares (points at the light): Who are you? Just as Benares' vocal cords finished emitting the word "you", the light faded away and a figure took its place! A tall figure at that! But who was it?? Shiva (folds arms): Hah hah! Now, don't I look cool, Benares? Benares (shocked): Kaiyanwang-sama!! It's you!? Yes, boys and girls. This was the most shocking twist in the story -- ever. And if you don't agree, clearly you need to go back to chapter 1 and start over. Shiva (looks at Benares): You sure haven't changed much, dude. Benares (scratches head): I've been keeping shape, Kaiyanwang-sama. But anyway, uh, I thought you were stolen by someone, Kaiyanwang-sama?! Shiva (shrugs): No way, man. When you left me by myself with the, uh, the Ningen no Zou earlier, I decided to use the Ningen by myself, and, somehow, I got myself freed from the container that imprisoned me! Isn't that, like, radical, man? Totally cool! Benares (shocked): But how is that possible?! Shiva (shrugs): Dude, like, I don't know? So, after I was, uh, freed?... I decided to take a tour around the world, and, like, the next thing I know, I saw you being attacked by some totally uncool farm animals. Totally uncool and totally sucks, dude! Benares (sneers): Those damn cattles... Shiva: Yeah, yeah. Anyway, my power and body are slowly deteriorate, you know? So, like, uh, did you find any suitable Sanjiyan for me, Benares? 'Cause that'd be totally radical! Benares (rubs his chin): Sir, Parvati IV is still very much alive, and that's one of the Sanjiyan I have planned to use to restore your power. Shiva (applauds): Dude! That's totally cool! Parvati is like, totally awesome! Benares: ...however, I have yet to find the 3rd Sanjiyan... Shiva (annoyed): What?! Whyever not, man?! That's so totally unradical. Benares (grins): But sir, I have something even better than the 3rd Sanjiyan...! Shiva (perks): You do, man? That reeks of awesomeness, dude! Yeah! Benares: Yes, I'm sure of that. Anyway, the one I am referring to is Yakumo Fujii. Yes, he's a human being, but, as you know, Mankind and the Sanjiyan Unkara both have similar structures in cells, blood, and genes. So they are more than a suitable substitute for the Humanity Ritual. Even better, this Yakumo Fujii is Parvati's Wu and possesses a ton of power, meaning that he could easily survive the Humanity Ritual with no problem... Shiva (smirks): Uh, I don't get what you just said, man, but I like it! Radical! Totally awesome! So, when are we going to perform the Ritual, Benares? Benares (uneasy): Well. That's where the problem begins. Shiva (frowns): Problem? Now that's uncool, bud. Benares (frowns as well): Well, you see, sir, I have yet to convince Yakumo Fujii or Parvati to agree to participate in the Humanity Ritual. Rather, they have grown to despise my presence. The only way to get them to participate is to use brute force. Shiva (Hmms): Is that so? Well, dude, I just thought of something that'll totally make them want to participate in the Ritual! Benares (surprised): You have?! What is it?! Shiva (smirks): Dude, bring me to where they are, and I'll totally show you my new, funky radical idea! Benares (bows): Of course! Yes, right away, sir! And at once, Benares took off, running back to the city. Shiva reverted himself back to a glow of light and followed his Wu, floating in the air like a mad Will-O-The-Wisp. What could Shiva's new plan be? Stay tuned. * * * END OF CHAPTER 3
