Heta-chan ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BATTLE 6 NOTES: I assume that "Dororon Enma-kun" is some kind of manga, but I've never heard of it before.

What the hell was that?! Isn't stuff like magic against the rules?! KOTAROU No! That was . . .!! ANNOUNCER Ranga's sure-kill technique defeats enemies with one touch! The last time we saw this dance used in the layer the angel never rose again! @Swish@ @Crack crack crack crack@ --Pg. 9-- ANNOUNCER Will Hikaru be able to halt this dance of death?! @Swoop@ --Pg. 10-- MISAKI *Must stay calm! Gotta! Gotta!* @Swish@ @CRACK@ @CHEER@ MISAKI *WHY?!* MAN . . . it's all over . . . @Sigh sigh@ @Munch chomp munch@ --Pg. 11-- @Chomp chomp@ ICCHAN She'll make it! There's a hint in Ranga's and Hikaru's positions!! TAMAYO Huuhh! Misaki-chi's giving uuuupppp! KOTAROU Take a better look! Then you'll understand Ranga's and Hikaru's positions!

TAMAYO Huh? --Pg. 16-- HIKARU I did it! @Fume!@ RINGO Grrrrr!! @Zoom@ @Zoom@ @Step@ --Pg. 17-- MAN ? How'd she avoid it so quickly? ICCHAN She threw her off-center. MAN Center? KOTAROU Ranga's attacks are creating shockwaves! @Vwoossh@ TAMAYO What're you talking about? KOTAROU Air pressure! An incredibly strong wind blows back her opponent. MAN I get it! That wind can't be seen by the naked eye! --Pg. 18-- MAN If you could see it then the angel could dodge! ICCHAN An angel grows with the wisdom, love, and courage of its Deus. They say "with a Deus' intuition one can do anything;" even buy the Angel Egg package in the first place. MAN I see! ICCHAN However, the assumption that Ranga's wind can push someone back no matter what is false. @Pat@ MAN In other words, Ranga always attacks her opponent in a straight line! ICCHAN Yes. That's how the "Dance of Death" must be dodged. If she can't attack in a straight line it throws her off-center. --Pg. 19-- MAN So is that what the kid, Misaki Suzuhara, is up to? That's something for a new player. ICCHAN . . . so, Kyle's kid turned out like Kyle. MAN Kyle's kid turned out like Kapaeru? From Dororon Enma-kun? ICCHAN Idiots like you get ten laps around the building! @Point@ @Step step step@ MAN Aaaaahh! I'm goooiinngg! --Pg. 20-- RINGO Grrrrrr! Why is she avoiding me! @Swooosh@ MISAKI Hikaru, I'm sorry.

TAMAYO Sweeeet! Misaki-chi's kicking ass! @Thud@ --Pg. 27-- GIRL 1 That was the same as Suzuka. GIRL 2 However, a new player cannot use another's techniques very well. @Cheer@ GIRL 3 She's got a good eye; Once she sees a movement it's not easily forgotten. GIRL 4 Are you saying she's a copycat? GIRL 3 No. I'm saying she has an excellent battle sense. --Pg. 28-- GIRL 2 We must be cautious, mustn't we? @Cheeeeer@ GIRL 3 Indeed. GIRL 1 Ohhh, I get it. Her regular attacks are pretty useless, So she may as well declare herself Hatoko-chan's rival. GIRL 4 Well, she won't have to fight Hatoko Kobayashi again. I'll be her next opponent. --Pg. 29-- @Crowd noises@ TAMAYO All right! I can't stress how great it is to be having our lunch break now! @Stroll stroll@ MISAKI Wha? TAMAYO Wow!
