As the battle between Kiyoshi and the brothers continues, Reeks looks on with his nerves falling apart. As the tide of the battle seemed to change in the enemy's favor. Gin charges toward Kiyoshi, swinging his chained blade in crazy and unpredictable directions. Making it hard for Kiyoshi to determine the target of the attack which resulted in Gin cutting Kiyoshi in the forehead. With blood dripping from his forehead, Kiyoshi bows his head as he stares at the ground.
The three brothers looked at each with smiles on their faces as their enemy standstill as if defeated. "Looks like he has come to terms with this being his final destination," laughed Kinpachi as the brother get ready to overpower Kiyoshi for one last attack. Before their plan could be put into action, loud and sinister laughter could be heard.
The three men turned around to see that their supposedly fallen foe has burst out in a grand laugh. "What are you laughing at?" shouted Gin as he and his brother stand there confused.
"Don't worry about it, you're already dead," proclaimed Kiyoshi. But before Gin could reply, Kiyoshi appeared in front of him with his sword coming for his head. With hardly enough time to react, Gin uses the chain of his weapon to block Kiyoshi's attack.
But with no effort, Kiyoshi cuts through but the chain and its wielder, thus cutting Gin in half. With Gin's upper body lying on the ground, his legs remained standing as the blood poured from them, soaking Kiyoshi. Which turned his clothes and skin a hellish and terrifying red. As Gin's blood continued to fall on him like nightmarish rain, Kiyoshi turns to the remaining two brothers awaiting their next move.
Kinpachi curses as he and Leelou watch their big brother's lifeless body on the ground like some kind of animal. "You pay for fucking this, you bastard," shouted Kinpachi as he rushes Kiyoshi. Kinpachi swings his duel swords, trying to decapitate Kiyoshi whilst cutting him in half from the midsection.
But unfortunately for Kinpachi, Kiyoshi cuts off one of his arms whilst cutting off the hand of the other arm, making him unable to hold his swords. Still determined to fell Kiyoshi, Kinpachi spins around with a kick, but before the kick can meet its target. Kiyoshi slices the leg clean off, causing Kinpachi to fall to the ground.
As Kinpachi tries to crawl away from Kiyoshi, using his one remaining arm to drag himself across the ground. He screams to Leelou, the youngest brother, to run as Kiyoshi is far more skilled than they thought. But due to overwhelming fear, the young ninja remained still, unable to hear his brother's cries for him to run.
Before Kinpachi could reach his brother, Kiyoshi stabs him in the back of the neck which caused the sword they come out of Kinpachi's mouth, killing him. After killing Kinpachi, Kiyoshi slowly walks over to the terrified ninja as long, fearful tears run down his face. With killer intent, Kiyoshi moves in on Leelou getting ready to finish him off, when Tyrook signals to him that Reeks is on the move. Kiyoshi turns his head to see Reeks running off in the opposite direction from the battlefield.
Kiyoshi, realizing time is against them, leaves the spooked ninja and chases after Reeks. With no strength in his body or heart to attempt avenging his brothers. Leelou takes the dying Kinpachi's advice and runs away. With scorching speed, Kiyoshi closes in on the agitated Reeks and launches his sword towards him, grazing his arm which caused him to fall over.
As Reeks holds his bleeding arm, he begs Kiyoshi not to kill him. Offering him gold, money, and endless women in return. Kiyoshi laughs, stating that he is not the one after him as Reeks looks on in horror as Tyrook manifests behind Kiyoshi.
With his usual green eye red and drool and hot fiery smoke coming from his mouth. The usually calm and funny Tyrook looks like a creature truly from hell as he stands in front there looking down on the overwhelmed and petrified Reeks.
Tyrook continues to look down at Reeks as he begs him and Kiyoshi for his life. "You didn't give Giang the chance to beg for his life. So right now am giving you more mercies that you gave him." Tyrook announced, enraged that Reeks will even think about begging for his life after all that he had done.
With Tyrook inches away from Reeks, Reeks sticks on his hand as a beam of light shoots out of the ring he was carrying, hitting Tyrook in his eye. As the demon screams out in pain, Kiyoshi checks to make sure his friend is ok but is stopped as Tyrook tells him he is fine and to make sure Reeks doesn't get away.
With a quick swing of his sword, Kiyoshi cuts behind Reeks's ankles, removing his ability to run. As Kiyoshi walks over to the injured Reeks screaming on the ground, he is hauled as Tyrook jumps over him and lands next to Reeks, digging his claws into Reeks's back. Tyrook lifts the crying Reeks off the ground as he states that he is going to peel the skin off Reeks' bones centimeter by centimeter until he is dead. "Your death won't be quick, am going to take my time with you," remarked Tyrook before bitting off the hand which held the ring that injured him earlier.
Worried about Lilly, Kiyoshi states he is going to head back and for Tyrook not to overdo it. Tyrook replies ok kiddo, as Kiyoshi leaves Tyrook and Reeks to have their last dance. Back on the battlefield, Lilly begins to feel overwhelmed as the enemies' number comes closer and closer to her and the cosmic beings.
Before all hope is lost, Kiyoshi comes in at the last minute quickly slaughtering the remaining men in quick succession before standing in front of both Lilly and the others. "Are you guys OK?" remarked Kiyoshi as he pulls out a rag, whipping the sweat off her face.
"We're fine Kiyo, where is Reeks did you get him?" Asked Lilly as she catches her breath. "Yes, we did, but I left him with Tyrook. Didn't want to stay to see what Tyrook was going to do to him." Replied Kiyoshi as he walks over to Negesi and his uncle. "Are you two ok?" Asked Kiyoshi as Abdimelech checks Negesi for any signs of injury.
"We are both fine. Thank you. I was wrong. Not all humans are dangerous. You have my many thanks, samurai." Replied Abdimelech as he opens a portal to his and Negesi homeworld. Before Abdimelech and Negesi depart, Negesi runs toward Lilly and Kiyoshi to cuddle one last time before going home.
Abdimelech gives one last nod as tears flow down Lilly's face as the two cosmic beings enter the portal, closing it off. As Kiyoshi comforts Lilly loud screams of a man in pain could be heard from the distance. "Tyrook is still at it. It's almost an hour now, and he is still torturing Reeks. Am going after him and stop this now." Declares Kiyoshi as he leaves Lilly still grieving over Negesi.
Kiyoshi arrives to see Tyrook standing over an unrecognizable Reeks as almost seventy-five percent of his skin was peeled off. "Tyrook enough. This is overdoing it just kill him and end this." Shouted Kiyoshi as he prepares to finish Reeks off himself. But is pushed back by Tyrook as he states that he will not kill him yet.
"This my fight, kiddo. Stay out of it," replies Tyrook as he slowly tortures Reeks. Kiyoshi pulls his blade at Tyrook in an effort to stop him before losing himself. Tyrook stands in front of Kiyoshi, screaming at him. "You're going to fight me, kiddo, are you?" Screamed Tyrook as he and Kiyoshi sqaureoff.
"I going to stop you from yourself, Tyrook," replied Kiyoshi as the two prepare to battle. As Tyrook prepares himself to attack, he sees that Kiyoshi is shaking, but it is not because he is scared of Tyrook but because he has to fight a friend. Realizing this tears streamed down Tyrook's face as his eye turns back to green.
"Am sorry kiddo, I was wrong," remarked Tyrook as he demanifest himself and returns to the sword. Kiyoshi walks over to Reeks and burns his body with Devivial's flames, killing him instantly. Kiyoshi looks down at his sword and shakes his head as he thinks to himself about how easy it is for them to convert back into their demonic state once something they love is threatened or taken away from them as he walks back to Lilly.
Kiyoshi soon arrives back to Lilly and leans on her, stating is finally over as the two embrace each other as they relax under a palm tree awaiting the night to come.
(We can reach our darkest moments when we try to protect or avenge the things and people we love. But we must always remember who we are, otherwise, we can lose something even more important ourselves in the pursuit of revenge.)
