"HANMA!" Chifuyu screamed out before Hanma sent a punch to his face, sending him to the ground.

"A clean sweep ♡︎" Hanma said as Mitsuya, Hakkai, and Akkun were knocked out on the ground.

"Guys..." Takemichi muttered. "Pah-chin-kun... Mitsuya-kun and the rest... They're all down... and the remaining people are..."

"Don't look away from me... Takemichi!" Kakucho shouted as he punched Takemichi, bringing him out of his thoughts.

"Mikey!" Peh-yan shouted out as Mikey looked down, seeing him, Smiley, and Angry. "Get down here!"

"We're your next opponents!" Smiley claimed.

Inui and Kokonoi both ended up getting punched by Benkei. "... But... you guys did well as our opponents." Wakasa said as he pushed Ichirou to the ground.

"The 'living legends' won!"

"Awesome!"

"They're losing half of their big shots!"

"Shit! They're all down! What should I do?" Takemichi wondered.

"Mikey!" Smiley shouted as Mikey threw a kick at him, sending him to the ground as Peh-yan was already knocked out, leaving only Angry.

"It's over for you, Angry."

"What are you... looking away for, jackass!" Kakucho yelled, throwing another punch to Takemichi's face as Takemichi collapsed to the ground.

"We're losing, all because of me! Was this a reckless move?" Takemichi asked himself.

"Shit!"

Takemichi soon placed his hand on the train tracks.

ZAP!

An oncoming train was shown. Chifuyu was under a train cart, laying still with his eyes closed.

Inui, Ichirou, Hakkai, Smiley, Angry, and Mitsuya were all lifeless and not moving as well, trapped under the damage the train had caused. Only Inui, Ichirou, and Mitsuya had their eyes opened.

"They were so annoying... So I killed them all at once." Sanzu grinned, revealing to be the culprit.

"Was that... another vision?!" Takemichi thought. "Sanzu... is going to kill everyone?!"

The sound of the train was heard as a train cart soon came forward while some Kanto members screamed, trying to get out of the way.

"Mitsuya-kun!" Takemichi shouted, seeing Mitsuya was crushed.

"Chifuyu... Hakkai?" Takemichi then questioned, breathing heavily.

"They're so annoying... So I'll just kill then all at once." Sanzu claimed as Takemichi screamed out in agony.

"Was that... another vision!? Sanzu... manipulated the train tracks... and killed everyone?!" Takemichi thinks to himself.

"This is bad!" Takemichi exclaimed as he took off, leaving Kakucho confused.

"Wait Takemitchy!" Kakucho called out.

"Don't follow me, Kaku-chan!" Takemichi shouted. "This is dangerous!"

"Huh?! Are you making some kind of joke right now?!" Kakucho exclaimed.

"This is terribly bad! The vision I saw must've started already! If I don't stop Sanzu, everyone will die! I saw the vision the moment I touched the tracks, which means, Sanzu must be at the end of them!" Takemichi noted.

"Where do you think you're going?!"

"Please! Just let me go this time, Kaku-chan!" Takemichi shouted. "Shit!"

"I must stop Sanzu no matter what! Kaku-chan will never believe me if I try to explain the situation!"

Takemichi was suddenly grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground.

"Tell me what's going on, Takemitchy!" Kakucho shouted.

"Move, Kakucho."

"Huh?"

"I... will not let anyone die!"

Takemichi's statement caused Kakucho to be taken aback. "Stand down, Kakucho. If I don't go, everyone will die." Takemichi said.

Meanwhile, Sanzu was busy doing his own thing on the train.

"Is this it? Tsk. Can't they make this easier? Do I press this?" Sanzu asked himself. "Oh— it moved!"

"Sanzu!"

"What?" Sanzu asked, peeking his head out of the train, only to see Takemichi and Kakucho.

"Hanagaki and... Kakucho?!" Sanzu questioned. "Why are you here?!"

"It's just as Takemichi said..." Kakucho mumbled.

"Sanzu... I know about your schemes." Takemichi told him.

"Tsk. Your irritating little shit." Sanzu insulted.

"... Takemichi. I'll lend you a hand." Kakucho said. "Let's call a truce, until we get to beat the hell outta Sanzu."

"Right on!" Takemichi agreed.

"Move, Kakucho! If I don't go, everyone will die!" Takemichi declared.

"What do you mean?" Kakucho asked in confusion.

"Right now Sanzu is manipulating the train tracks, leading them towards to where everyone is to kill them all." Takemichi answered.

"Sanzu... What are you doing here?!" Takemichi questioned.

"Hanagaki... Kakucho, what are you doing here?" Sanzu countered.

"It's just as Takemichi said..." Kakucho mumbled. "How did you know about this, Takemichi? I'm supposed to be on his side, yet I didn't even know about this. You're such a wonder, aren't you? Are you a seer or something?"

It was quiet amongst the three of them. "I came down to this place a couple of times ever since we decided it was to be our battlefield. So I came up with a plan. Which is getting this thing off the tracks at the right moment, running everyone over and killing them all!" Sanzu declared.

"Do you know the consequences of your plan? Everyone will die. Not only will it hit Toman, but Kanto Manji too, y' know?!" Kakucho pointed out.

"... I don't care about who my enemies or friends are. Everyone aside from Mikey are all just a bunch of noise." Sanzu responded, grabbing his katana and stepping off the train. "I won't let you get in my way."

Sanzu soon charged forward. "Bring it on, Sanzu! We'll stop you here!" Takemichi shouted.

"Watch out, Takemichi!" Kakucho warned as Sanzu swung his katana, cutting Kakucho's arm who was shielding Takemichi from the attack.

"Kaku-chan! Your arm!" Takemichi exclaimed.

"I was trying to finish Hanagaki off there. Just as I'd expect from you, Kakucho." Sanzu claimed.

"My bad, Kaku-chan! You saved my life there." Takemichi said.

"Was Mucho also 'noise' to you?" Kakucho asked, leaving Takemichi confused. "Did you use that katana to kill Mucho as well?"

Takemichi widened his eyes as Sanzu didn't respond. "Sanzu... I never liked you ever since we were in Tenjiku." Kakucho admitted, taking off his jacket as Sanzu pointed his katana towards him.

"Likewise. I never liked you, either." Sanzu claimed.

"Bring it on! Sanzu!"

"Let's go, Kakucho!"

Sanzu swung his katana at Kakucho who sent a a punch to his face. When Sanzu swung his katana again, it slashed Kakucho across the chest.
