What Henry witnessed was a true prodigy of the sword, showing off, but not against just anyone, but someone who has been known as "the Monster in the body of a Man."
Henry's jaw drops to the ground, admiring Ichiro's skill, holding his own against Arashi.
Henry: "YOU CAN DO IT, ICHIRO, YOU HEAR ME?"
He shouts with enthusiasm, believing fully in his friend.
But Ichiro knows that he can't win like that.
Arashi is way stronger than him, so it is a matter of time until he finally gets overpowered, and believing in a miracle won't help him anyhow, so Ichiro needs to waste more time somehow so that he can think of a plan, a plan to win.
But what happens shortly is something nobody had expected…
…
Jack had just crashed inside the room where Lenny had been held. He then notices Soshi and Lenny, who has a weird, neon-green aura surrounding him, seemingly charging up.
Jack: "What is going on here?"
He says, angry at the situation he found his little brother in,
He looks at Soshi in anger, grabbing him at his shoulder.
Jack: "What are you doing with my little brother, you dumb fuck?"
Soshi grabs Jack's arm, throwing it away from him to then swipe his shoulder with his hands.
Soshi: "Your brother has stolen something that has been in the possession of the Mitsunaga family for more than one hundred years."
Jack: "Stolen? You mean the stone?"
Soshi looks at Jack in confusion, not knowing what he is talking about.
Soshi: "Stone? No, I mean the Plasma King.
Jack: "Plasma king?"
He replies confused,
Jack: "I don't care; I will take my brother now."
He says, walking towards Lenny, Soshi quickly holds Jack on his shoulder.
Soshi: "No, you cannot go to him, not before I take back what he took."
Jack looks at Lenny and then at Soshi; he then nods, agreeing with Soshi.
Jack: "Okay, but I will stay here."
Soshi: "Very well."
Soshi leaves the room to get something, leaving Jack and Lenny alone.
Lenny: "Big bro…"
He says with a weakened voice,
Jack: "Lenny, what happened? What have you done again, and what is that Aura?"
Lenny slowly raises his head.
Lenny: "He…he is warning me…Don't let Soshi do it…"
Jack: "Don't let Soshi do what? Who is warning you?"
Lenny: "K-Kelvin…"
Jack: "Kelvin? Who is that? Is he warning you—…"
Jack becomes silent, thinking and putting one plus one together.
Jack: "W-where did you get it? Lenny, where did you get a Beast?"
Jack asks Lenny, quickly getting overwhelmed with worries,
In the meantime, Soshi enters the room with a chair; attached to it are various wires and a big and long hose connected to somewhere out of the room.
Soshi: "Master Jack, can you please bring Master Lenny on this chair?"
Jack: "No, I finally understand what is happening; we can't do this; it will kill him."
Soshi becomes silent; he didn't want to tell Jack that there is a high chance of Lenny not surviving the process. Ripping a beast from the person it has a contract with could also rip away the soul of the person, leading to his death. As a Beast user himself, Jack knows that, which is why he is against Soshi's plan.
Jack: "There must be a much safer way."
Soshi: "I am sorry, Master Jack, but there is no safer way. In fact, it is the only way."
Jack: "Then I am sorry, Soshi; I will not let you take my brother."
Soshi: "That's what I thought…"
Soshi says, before pressing on a button next to the door, activating an energy barrier, caging Jack.
Jack is confused but then gets angry.
Jack: "LET ME GO, SOSHI, I WILL KILL YOU."
He shouts in anger, hammering against the energy barrier that emerges from above.
Soshi: "I'm sorry, Master Jack."
He says, before walking to Lenny, injecting him an drug that knocks him out and carrying him to the chair.
Jack: "STOP SOSHI."
Jack says, but Soshi ignores him.
Soshi then ties Lenny to the chair before closing his eyes.
Soshi: "Sorry, Master Lenny."
He says with deep regrets in his heart,
Jack gets more violent, punching against the barrier with his dragon-scaled fists.
Soshi then goes to the back of the chair, activating it.
The chair makes a weird sound before lighting up blue and then green, leading to Lenny opening his eyes, screaming in pain.
Jack: "STOP IT, PLEASE, HE IS ALL I HAVE."
He shouts, with tears in his eyes,
Soshi turns away from Jack and Lenny, with pain in his heart, not noticing Lenny's body getting neon-green cracks, looking like something is charging up from inside of him.
But Jack notices it, knowing that it cannot be anything good.
Jack: "You have to stop it, NOW; this will end badly."
But Soshi ignores it, thinking that Jack is trying to trick him.
Lenny starts screaming louder, but his voice changes, and so does his body, lighting up neon green.
Soshi then turns around, witnessing that bizarre spectacle, quickly running to the chair to deactivate it, but it is too late.
It has reached its climax; the energy that had been charging up inside of Lenny erupts out, leading to an explosion, not only completely blowing up the room, but also the whole underground basement and the residences above it, and also the arena and the main residence.
…
Right before the explosion, Ichiro had finally thought of a plan, but at the same time, he noticed that he had no power left, something Arashi also noticed.
Arashi wickedly grinned at Ichiro.
Arashi: "Getting tired? Seems like your time is over, Taketa fucker."
Ichiro just smiles at him, putting everything on his plan.
Ichiro: "You will see, this fight is already over."
Arashi laughs before rushing at Ichiro again, also putting his full strength in his next attack.
Ichiro: "Here he comes…"
He says, getting ready for what will happen next,
The moment Arashi's blade was about to reach Ichiro, he noticed something, a weird sensation, an immense aura, erupting from the ground, but Arashi simply ignored it, but Ichiro, who also had noticed it, didn't ignore it; no, he understood that this might be the miracle he had been waiting for, a way better chance than his plan, something he could not simply ignore.
Ichiro didn't dodge Arashi's attack; no, he even let himself get pierced by Arashi to then press himself away with all of his aura left, launching him far away, directly into Henry.
Ichiro: "HENRY, DO IT."
He shouts, Henry did not understand what Ichiro said, but he understood that with Ichiro next to him and an angry Arashi looking at them, this might be the time to get away.
Arashi, full of anger, screams, shouting "TAKETA FUCKERRR" before rushing at Henry, who then uses shooting-star to get up into the air, only to then see the arena, the ground, and the residences blow up by a green explosion.
