"Ah, Kenzo Yojimbo you were the one who aided Ryuma in the void," said Kurai. "Your still weak," Kurai then parries him off.
"My liege, Masao has lost to Ryuma Tendo," said The Dark Emperor.
"I see the boy was not able to beat him. it's alright now my biggest threat is gone destroying the Wizards will be child's play now. let us go," said Kurai.
"yes," said The Dark Emperor. They open a dark portal.
"What you running away coward," said Kenzo.
"How about you enjoy the little time you have left Kenzo before we take everything from you," said Kurai as they leave and go back to the dark realm. Kenzo then goes to Oda on the ground.
"It going to be alright, Master I'll get help just…," said Kenzo before Oda grabs his right arm with his right arm as his weapon reverts to normal. Oda lets go of his right arm and grabs his weapon and gives it to Kenzo in his left hand. Oda smiles at Kenzo as he draws his last breath and fades away. Kenzo sits there holding Oda's weapon in his hand with tears flowing down his face as the rain keeps pouring down harder as the other Wizards come from the forest.
Weeks have passed since the death of Oda Miyamoto all the students were evacuated and returned home as the Wizard deemed it to be dangerous to stay. Ryuma stayed to help around the campus to get ready for what could be the final battle with Lucas helping as well.
"Man, this place seems to be a ghost school now," said Lucas.
"it seems so. it too dangerous for students to stay here, now," said Ryuma. "Now that the Grandmaster is gone."
"You think this could be the end?" asked Lucas.
"I have no Idea only thing we can do is hope it ain't," said Ryuma. They then see Kisuke come over.
"Well, you guys have been hard at work?" asked Kisuke.
"Yeah, so how is everything?" asked Ryuma.
"Good besides the Grandmaster is gone. How is Kenzo?" asked Ryuma.
"He better now. He was raised by Oda he was like a father to him and even Ryuken," said Kisuke.
"So, what now?" asked Ryuma.
"We are about to read Oda's final letter that he wrote after he came back to the void if he died and well, he predicted right," said Kisuke. "it should reveal the next Grandmaster,"
"I don't know who he picked," said Ryuma. "it would be an Arch-Wizards, right?" he asked
"Correct, but he chose to be seen we should know by tonight," said Kisuke.
Later that night the wizards gathered in the school theater room where the next Grandmaster Wizard where all the Arch-Wizards are at chairs behind a podium and Yuna comes up to it.
"Hello everyone if you already know or those who are just joining us, I have terrible news. Oda Miyamoto has passed away in a battle against the Dark King. So today we shall read his final order which reveals who will take his place as Grandmaster," said Yuna.
"Give us, Guidance Master," thinks Kisuke. Yuna then opens the letter and starts reading it to the wizards.
"Greeting everyone if you are readying this then the unfortunate has happened. In my long life and term of being Grandmaster, I had the pleasure watch some of you grow and those were the happiest times in my life. But I rather not have you feel sorrow for my passing but now it not the time for mourning as The Dark is always growing in power. So, its time I name my successor for you all. I have given it some thought on who would be and study every of the Arch-Wizards put I have watched this one since he was a young boy, some may be upset to my choice but I know he will lead the Wizards into an Era where the fear of the Dark King is no more. so, I have chosen as my successor, Kenzo Yojimbo as Grandmaster," said Yuna. Kenzo looks surprised and confused.
"What?" questioned Kenzo.
"Kenzo, you may be not the strongest or the smartest but those who have worked with you or looked up to you can agree that you may have the biggest heart as a wizard. I believe you can do this," said Yuna. "these were some encouraging words to you, Kenzo." Yuna then looks at Kenzo and puts her right hand on the podium to tell him to say something. Kenzo then gets up and goes to Podium.
"ah hey…No, what screw it. I know some of you might be bummed that he did this naming me successor. But I do not care right now the only thing I want more than anything right now is the destroy the Dark for what they did to my master…my father. Even if this may be our last battle and things might not look good for us. But at least I am going out swing at them even if costs me my own life," said Kenzo. Everyone seems silent until they hear someone applauding, They all look and see Giichi applauding Kenzo's speech and the whole room starts cheering.
"We will destroy The Dark or die trying," said Kenzo.
