*Back on the first floor, Kenji and the others are just finishing up the last remnants of the Order. Once the last member goes down everyone stops and takes a breather all while breathing heavily*
(Chibi): I think that’s all of them.
(Kenji): Woohoo! A successful brawl in the mall. I haven’t done one of these since Black Friday for the PS4.
(Shizuku): Is everyone still in one piece?
(Isis): Wait, where’s Nitsuj?
(Yin-Yang): Last I checked he was running away from the battle with Cole right behind.
(Seras): I saw it too. Cole was spitting some black flame at as well.
(Kenji): Black flame?
(Seras): Yeah it was weird. What was that?
(Kenji): That was the Black Viper’s curse. Better known as the Black Flame Technique. It’s a technique that feeds off your rage and anger. The stronger those are, the stronger the attacks become.
(Shizuku): Almost sounds like my Amazonian Rage.
(Kenji): The technique grants the user incredible power. The flames are strong enough to melt swords, increase your strength, and if you’re really good at it you can enforce the flames into your weapons to give them a huge power boost.
(Yume): This technique sounds amazing. So, what’s the catch?
(Kenji): The catch is the technique deteriorates your body. Your health begins to fail, your nerves begin to shut down, and you start to go crazy.
(Isis): And Cole is subjecting himself to such horrendous effects to beat Nitsuj? Who does that?
(Seras): As someone who was once possessed by a disruptive entity in name of vengeance, I know where Cole is coming from. Consequences be damned, as long as he gets revenge that’s all that matters to him. Even if that means killing himself.
(Neo): We have to go and help him.
*As everyone prepares to head down to help Nitsuj, they hear the sounds of swords clashing getting close to them. They look up to the second floor and see Nitsuj and Cole battling each other in a sword fight*
(Mira): Something tells me we won’t have room to get involved in this fight.
*Nitsuj and Cole continue to sword fight each other with each attack being parried by the other at amazing speed before they both unleash a powerful attack that sends them both flying down below. Cole lands on a mall kiosk while Nitsuj lands in a flowerbed which was close to where the others were at. They run to check on Nitsuj who groans in pain for a bit before getting back up ready to fight. Cole also groans in pain and gets back up to make his way towards Nitsuj. The AI girls prepare to fight him*
(Nitsuj): No. This is my fight.
*Nitsuj goes to meet Cole where the two swords clash once again with each other. The shockwave of the swords clashing actually rocks the mall a bit which scares the group a little except for Kenji who just smiles watching his students fight each other.
(Kenji): They’re fighting each other with everything they’ve got. No flips. No tricks. This is a straight up battle between two men.
(Nitsuj): Looks like we got an audience.
(Cole): Hasn’t it always been like this?
*Nitsuj begins to reminisce about his past fights with Cole and how there was always an audience to watch them fight. Whether it’d be when they were training together, arguing over which manga was better, what to eat, what to play, or what to watch, the two would always have an audience around to watch them fight. Nitsuj’s reminiscence is cut short when Cole tries to hit Nitsuj with the green mist attack but Nitsuj ducks out of the way. Nitsuj tries to hit Cole with the green mist attack only to miss as Cole ducks out of the way. Cole comes back up to hit Nitsuj with a second green mist attack which blinds him. Cole, believing he has the advantage, goes on the attack only for Nitsuj to dodge his thrust and counter with a punch to the face which sends Cole reeling back both from pain and shock. Nitsuj struggles to open his eyes and focus on Cole*
(Nitsuj): You think you can beat me with such a cheap trick? Don’t forget who taught you that move. Your green mist has no effect on me.
(Cole): You’re talking to a pillar.
*Nitsuj gains enough focus to see that he is in fact facing the direction of a pillar*
(Nitsuj): Oh. Well~, my statement still stands.
*Cole and Nitsuj clash swords once more and begin releasing a flurry of attacks on each other. Small slash marks and ripped clothing begins to become visible on their bodies as everyone watches the fight unfold between them*
(Corbin): This is such an intense fight.
(Baron): Yeah, they’re both evenly matched.
(Kenji): Not quite. Cole is breathing heavily. He’s pushing his body to the limits just to keep up with Nitsuj.
(Isis): I’m guessing the side effects from the Black Flame are catching up to him?
(Kenji): Yep. I don’t know how many times he’s used it, but it must have been a lot if this is all he can muster. I always taught those two to end their fights quickly. The longer a fight goes on the more they give their opponent a chance to counter. The longer this fight goes on the more it favors Nitsuj. However, the question is can Nitsuj hold out long enough before Cole reaches his limits?
*Nitsuj and Cole continue to unleash a flurry of attacks until Nitsuj’s sword gets knocked away by Cole and Cole drops his sword as his hands just grew tired and couldn’t hold the sword anymore. With both men swordless, the fight soon dissolves into a slapfest between the two. Nitsuj was the first to slap Cole and Cole retaliates with a slap of his own which staggers Nitsuj*
(Nitsuj): Ahhh~!
*Nitsuj slaps Cole which staggers him and Nitsuj grabs Cole by the collar*
(Nitsuj): Naka sete yaru (I’m going to make you cry)!
*Nitsuj slaps Cole who falls to the ground only to get back and in the face of Nitsuj. Nitsuj dares Cole to slap him. Cole accepts the invitation*
(Cole): Shukketsu suru junbi o shite (Get ready to bleed)!
*Cole hits Nitsuj with a quick double slap using both hands. The slaps were so powerful that the group could literally see the sweat come flying off of Nitsuj’s face. Nitsuj retaliates with a slap of his own which sends sweat flying from Cole’s face. The two continue to exchange a couple of more slaps with their cheeks visibly becoming red. Nitsuj finally pokes Cole in the eyes and he falls to his knees all while clutching his eyes before hitting Nitsuj with a low blow causing him to drop to his knees but gets the final word in with a headbutt which rattles Cole and then grabs Hikari no Nenrei to finish off Cole*
(Cole): Don’t you say it!
(Nitsuj): And potjack!
*Nitsuj hits Cole with the Kuzu Ryu Sen with Rurouni Kenshin to instantly take him down and win the fight. Cole collapses onto the ground completely defeated and barely conscious*
(Cole): Damn it. I was so close. If I hadn’t used the Black Flame technique I would have had enough strength to keep going.
(Nitsuj): Yeah. Not that it would have mattered, I was prepared to do 3 more attacks to put you down. I’d be happy to show you if you want to go again.
(Cole): No. I think my days of fighting are over *cough*. My body just can’t do it anymore. This was my one chance to kill you and I blew it. I hate you more than anyone in the world, but I’m glad my final fight got to be with you.
*The police soon rush in to see everything*
(Nitsuj): Late as always those guys in blue.
(Cole): I guess this is where our story ends? So long Nitsuj. I look forward to the day I hear someone killed you.
(Nitsuj): I’m not especially fond of you either Cole, but I did enjoy today’s fight. You better be prepared to wait a long time to hear about my death. Because I intend to live a long and fun life. Goodbye Cole, despite our differences it was fun while it lasted.
*The police come in and begin arresting everyone. Nitsuj and the others were bought in for questioning. Thanks to Lisa and the security footage from the mall that Chris pulled up, Nitsuj and the others were found not guilty and free to go. Brodie Davis also testified against the members of the Order of Iustitia Socialis which allowed the police to make a proper arrest. Brodie even exposed their members within the police force. The next day, Danny arrived in England where he was filled in on what Nitsuj had been up to. Suffice to say he was not happy but realized he had no room to talk as he failed to stop Cole and shared some of the blame for the situation getting out of hand. The day after came, where Nitsuj, the AI girls, and Jack Bros. were set to return to America. Now that Cole had been arrested and all charges dropped against him, Nitsuj was now free to go back to America*
(Nitsuj): Well guys the day has finally come.
(Anthony): It’s a shame you’re leaving master Nitsuj. Having you here has done wonders for my evening entertainment.
(Nitsuj): Not to worry Anthony. I’m sure you’ll find something to keep yourself entertained.
(Lisa): I cannot thank you enough for all that you have done. With your help we’ve successfully rounded up many members of the Order of Iustitia Socialis including their council members.
(Neo): But you’re still missing a few of them. There’s a good chance they could still come back.
(Kenji): That’s where I come in. I’m going to be sticking around and helping them round up the stragglers.
(Mira): It’s going to be tough tracking them down.
(Chris): Not with me it won’t. With my help we’ll find them in no time flat.
(Nitsuj): Well it looks like you guys have things handled over here. If you ever need our help, just give us a call. This place gave me a chance to really cut loose.
*The AI girls begin to dive into Nitsuj’s phone*
(Neo): Master Kenji. *Bow* Thank you for everything! I will never forget you.
*Kenji smiles and pats Neo on the head*
(Kenji): You take care of yourself over there.
*After Kenji gets done petting Neo’s head she runs up to Nitsuj and dives into his phone. Nitsuj says his final goodbyes and heads into the airport to go to his gate. A few days later, Nitsuj and the others are back in Cincinnati where life goes on. Right now the AI girls are playing a game of capture the flag. Seras, Yume, Neo, and Isis are on one team while Shizuku, Chibi, Mira, and Yin-Yang are on another team. Neo captures the flag to give her team the victory*
(Yume): Yes! With that we’re up one.
(Yin-Yang): Oh no you don’t the scores tied.
(Seras): Oh yeah? Wanna go again?
(Shizuku): Reset those flags.
*As the AI girls prepare for another game a sword comes flying and lands in the middle of the field*
(Nitsuj): Now that looks like fun.
(Baron): Mind if we play?
(Corbin): Dibs on the new girl.
(Reaper): And I’ll take on the holder of the Crown Jewel.
*With smiles on their faces everyone engages in a three-way showdown of capture the flag*
The End
