Azure Flame Reloaded

Our intrepid heroes prepare to leave the ninja dogs’ resort. Weed: We should leave all these puppies behind- I’m not even sure where we picked them up but they’ll only slow us down. Teru: Please let us come with you, we’re ready to die for the cause even at our young age…not that you can [...]

Jerome has survived, unsurprisingly; he is confronted by grey dogs. Jerome: Are you friends, or enemies? More importantly, is there supposed to be any suspense for those who’ve seen the preview and already know that you’re Ninja Dogs? Some time later, Weed and the others find the bloodied stone where Jerome climbed out of the [...]

Tesshin makes his way to Gin with unprecedented speed, but when he tries to rescue him, Gin is unable to stand. Gin: I can feel God Mode slipping away from me- Tesshin, you must kill me by your own hand. Tesshin: Gin, you know when a character asks to be killed the scene usually ends [...]

Weed’s party stands on a lake shore as they decide where to go next. Rocket: Since we need to recruit all 108 stars to get the good ending, I should lead you to a place where we can get more brown dogs. Jerome: Wait a minute; it might be better for the storyline if we [...]

Whilst Teru-dad attacks Lector (apologies if I’m getting Lector and Thunder mixed up; their character designs are negligibly different), Weed’s ATB fills and he attacks Thunder. As battle resumes, Hiro, GB and the rest of Weed’s entourage arrives. Hiro: Time to do what I do best- Ball Snatch! Hiro tries to ‘ball-snatch’ Lector/Thunder but misses. [...]

After some macho posturing, the battle between Weed and Kyoushiro begins. The two tussle for a brief while. Weed’s friends are happy to stand and watch, but Kyoushiro’s subordinate brown dogs want to help out. Brown dog: Leave it to us, Leader! The brown dogs attack, but Weed evades. Weed: Low level brown dogs can’t [...]

Weed and the others bring the bodies of John and the expendable dogs back to the camp; Hook has left his post as double agent and come back with them. Reika cries. Reika: John, I barely knew you, but as REAL MEN can’t be expected to cry, I must weep over you. Hiro: Let’s go [...]

Rocket talks to Weed about the dogs they are heading across the (Japanese) Alps to recruit. Rocket: Their leader is an impetuous yet ugly one year old named Kyoushiro- you may recognise his name from the OP. He also conveniently has 50 followers, random ugly dogs (probably brown) who shall add to our numbers. Weed: [...]

The battle begins. Jerome: I won’t let you lay a finger on Weed! Rocket: We’re dogs, we don’t have fingers. Brothers, Triple Attack! Missile and Jet attack from the right and left, injuring Jerome. Rocket goes for a frontal attack, but Jerome is ready for him. Rocket: Old man, you may have switched to defence [...]

Hougen’s minions drag the defeated and bloody bodies of John and Gin away; so much for God Mode. Hougen: I may be evil and destined to be defeated, but for now I am powerful! Right, Reika darling? He nuzzles an unwilling Reika. Meanwhile, a weakened Akame has met up with Weed and the others. Akame: [...]
