The Other Side of the Sky - Chapter 6: Friendship - Episode 4

(Captain), the crew, and the rest of the Red Wings arrive and rescue Vyrn, Rintaro, and Taiga. As the two gangs clash in earnest, Sho pushes his Demon Reactor out of control and charges Tsubasa. (Captain) and the crew step in to deal with the Demon Reactor.

---

Tsubasa single-handedly breaks through the ranks of the Destiny Nocturnes.

Tsubasa: Who's next! Bring it, you crapweasels!

Tsubasa: You think a bunch of third-rate posers like you could even land a punch on me?

Destiny Nocturne 1: Gyargh!

Destiny Nocturne 2: Bwurgh!

Sho: Oraaah!

Tsubasa: Gah...

Vyrn: Tsubasaaa!

Tsubasa: Heh heh... Weak. Hah... Haha...

Tsubasa: Daaahh!

Tsubasa forces his battered body to keep moving, parrying the endless waves of attacking Nocturnes.

He puts his faith in his ultimate weapons: his own tightly-clenched fists.

But Tsubasa is outnumbered. His strength begins to flag, and before long it's all he can do to stay on his feet.

Tsubasa: That all you... got? C'mon... Come at me...

Sho: Don't be in such a hurry... I'll send you to hell soon enough!

Sho saunters up to Tsubasa with a nasty smirk on his face and grabs him by the neck.

His brass knuckles wink in the light as he raises his fist.

Sho: Forever!

Tsubasa: ...!

Tsubasa clenches his teeth and steels himself for the blow to come.

But before Sho's fist can descend, a wild orchestra of exhaust pipes fills the air with its raucous symphony.

Killa Taiga: Ah... Haha... They did it...

Vyrn: I guess they scraped up the courage after all...

Red Wings: ...

Red Wing 1: You dirt-huffin' losers... How 'bout tryin' a fair fight for size!

Sho: Tch...

Tsubasa: You guys... Ha... Haha... You're late.

Red Wing 2: Sorry, Tsubasa... We punked out...

Tsubasa: Don't be stupid. You came for me, didn'tcha?

Sho: Don't give me that heartwarming crap! Why do you vermin keep crawling out of the woodwork!

Sho hits Tsubasa hard enough to send him flying and then turns to smirk at his fellow gang members.

Sho: Let's teach 'em a lesson! Kill that lizard!

Destiny Nocturne 3: Nyahaha! You got it, boss!

Destiny Nocturne 3: Argle...

Sho: Huh?

Elmott: Bringin' knives to a fistfight is a real punk move.

Tsubasa: How'd you know where we were?

Elmott: I had a hunch where you'd wind up.

After flattening the Nocturne brandishing the knife, (Captain) unties Vyrn and his friends.

Vyrn: Sorry, (Captain)... Sorry for causing so much trouble...

Killa Taiga: Thanks, (Captain)...

Yung Rintaro: I owe you one. You're the greatest!

Elmott: Well... Now what? Am I gonna hafta bow and scrape in front of the school board again?

Tsubasa: That's...

Elmott: Heh heh... Oh well. You had to protect your friends, right?

Tsubasa: Heh...

Sho: Tsubasa... You're starting to bore me...

Sho: Let's settle this, huh? This is our last stop, bro...

Tsubasa: Yeah... The rest of you stay out of this!

Tsubasa: This... is my fight!

Red Wings: No, it's our fight too!

Tsubasa: Heh... All right, boys! Let's shut these fools down!

Red Wings: Yeeeaaahhh!

Sho: This battle belongs to the Destiny Nocturnes!

Destiny Nocturnes: Whooo!

The battle is joined anew, aggressions blazing brighter than ever.

Words are insufficient when the passions of youth boil over—only fists are eloquent enough.

Elmott watches from a distance, conflicted.

Elmott: ...

Lyria: (Captain)! Elmott! Shouldn't we stop them?

Elmott: A proper teacher would probably stop them no matter what the reasons were behind the fight...

Elmott: But I'm only a temp. I don't have teaching in my blood... and I get where these kids are comin' from.

Elmott: This isn't the kinda grudge you can bury by doing things halfway.

Elmott: If we tried, it'd only come back to haunt them later.

Elmott: I'm not gonna let 'em kill each other. An' if I see a blade, I'm goin' in.

Elmott: But other than that... If both sides agreed to the fight, I don't see a good enough reason to stop 'em.

Elmott: You're only young once... So rage to your hearts' content!

At those impassioned words from Elmott, Tsubasa finally cracks a smile.

Tsubasa: Pfft. Hahaha! What kinda teacher gives his students permission to fight? But... that really takes a load off my mind!

Tsubasa: All right! Let's take it to them, men!

The two gangs throw everything they have into this one cathartic clash.

Tsubasa: Oooryaaahhh!

Destiny Nocturne 1: Gwah!

Each has his own reason.

Killa Taiga: How's about a Killa Headbutt! Oraah!

Destiny Nocturne 2: Gyah...

To feel alive.
To vent his frustrations.

Yung Rintaro: Oooryah!

Vyrn: You wanna piece of meee!

Destiny Nocturne 3: Yeeek!

To protect his friends.
To reach for something greater than himself.

Sho: Eat dirt!

Red Wing 1: No... way...

This battle won't be won by strength alone. The victors will be those with the strongest resolve.

At last, the tide begins to turn in favor of the Red Wings.

It would seem that the end is in sight.

Sho: Tch...

Vyrn: Tsubasa! Sho's makin' a break for it!

Tsubasa: Where did that little punk go!

Sho leaps onto his gearcycle and begins to pedal like a madman.

Sho: This war belongs to me...

Sho: To the king!

Sho: Fuuull throoottle!

The Demon Reactor howls as if in response to the roiling emotions of its owner and emits a sinister glow.

Killa Taiga: That idiot... He's pushing the Demon Reactor to its max RPM!

Tsubasa: Damn moron! You tryin' to send it out of control? Do you know what'll happen!

Sho: Hyaaahahahahaaa! Tsubasaaa!

Yung Rintaro: He's... gone off the deep end...

Tsubasa: We got no choice...

Tsubasa: Here I am, Sho! Come at me!

Sho: Tsubasaaa! Diiieee!

It was no longer a gearcycle and rider barreling down on Tsubasa. It was a ravenous beast, howling its empty-bellied rage as its fanged maw gaped, preparing to rend and devour its prey.

1. This is no fistfight anymore!

Choose: This is no fistfight anymore!

Elmott: You can say that again.

Elmott: Tsubasa! Forget the fight! We gotta destroy the Demon Reactor before it blows!

(Captain) and the others leap into the fray, determined to avert catastrophe.
