"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GANG we're in, you still wear your uniform like that, huh?" Inui asked Ichirou, who had his Toman uniform unbuttoned, showing his muscular chest.

"It's more comfortable." Ichirou huffed out.

All of the First Division were currently gathered in front of Mikey. "So Mucho is the traitor..." Mikey muttered.

"Yeah, and... In this conflict the First Division... will retrieve Koko, no matter what!" Takemichi declared.

"Alright." Mikey agreed. "Inui! Any idea... When Tenjiku will attack us all out?"

"Tomorrow, the 22nd of February... is Black Dragon's 11th birthday. To Izana, who idolized Shinichiro madly... Tomorrow is a special day." Inui replied.

"So... Tomorrow?" Mikey questioned.

"Yes! I'm sure of it!" Inui responded.

Mikey turned around. "Alright! Gather everyone in Toman! We need to prepare for tomorrow's battle." He informed. "This will be our final assembly."

"Yes sir!"

The Toman members soon gathered in front of the shrine. "The emergency meeting of Toman vs. Tenjiku starts now!" Draken exclaimed out.

"Chifuyu... the First Division's objective this time... is to bring back Koko-kun, and defeat Kisaki and Izana!" Takemichi claimed.

"In other words, defeat Tenjiku!"

"Somehow things have gotten simpler!" Takemichi added on.

"Yeah... But... The problem is... Can Toman win against Tenjiku at this state?" Chifuyu questioned.

"This state?" Takemichi repeated in confusion.

"Listen carefully, everyone. Today on the 22nd of February, Tenjiku and Toman will have a full on confrontation. The war is finally starting. Be prepared, brace yourselves. Tenjiku is not the type to play around. They claim themselves as a 'criminal organization' they will use dirty tricks." Draken explained.

"Then Toman must do the same!"

Ichirou turned his head to find that it was Hakkai. "Fuck them up with dirty tricks!" Hakkai finished.

"Hakkai?" Takemichi questioned.

"On the way here... Taka-chan got attacked! Smiley-kun, too!" Hakkai announced.

"Huh?!" Takemichi exclaimed.

"You're kidding, right?!"

"How did the two of them...?!"

"We were on our bikes until those Tenjiku motherfuckers hit them from behind with a pipe! Now both of them are lying unconscious at the hospital! Those Tenjiku motherfuckers will attack by any means! At this point, Toman will lose!" Hakkai continued on.

Everyone went silent at his claim. "Look around you! The First Division are all injured! The Second and Fourth Division Captains are not here! The Third Division Captain is absent! And the Fifth Division's Captain is a traitor, now under Tenjiku!" Hakkai exclaimed.

"He's right... Toman is battered and bruised all over." Takemichi thought.

"Hakkai's right!"

"Yeah!"

"At this rate, Toman will lose!"

"Let's play dirty like Tenjiku!"

"Let's use weapons as well!"

"That's right!"

The sound of a motorcycle was heard, getting everyone's attention. "Peh-yan-kun..." Takemichi mumbled.

"Shut the fuck up man... Who gave you the permission to be this noisy? You're so scared of losing... that you thought of surprising them with weapons?" Peh stayed silent for a moment. "Pah-chin... got arrested for using weapons. In resentment, I attacked Draken with it, too. I played dirty... Mikey told me... 'I don't want to fight the likes of you.' That's why I'm here right now... So... This time around, like Mikey was saying... I don't want to fight to fight like a coward anymore!"

Everyone stayed silent, taking in his words. "Hakkai! I understand your anger to what they did to they did to Mitsuya. But look at Mikey! Do you think he's okay with that?" Peh then asked.

Mikey had a stone look plastered on his face and his body was stiff. "Hakkai! I want you to stay beside Mitsuya." Mikey informed.

"Huh?! Hold on! I want to fight those bastards who attacked Ta—" Hakkai began to protest.

"It's not that I'm worried about their condition. As soon as they open their eyes. Those two would definitely run to join the war. Please stop that from happening." Mikey interrupted. "It'll be hard for me to move if I'm worried about them. Leave your mission to Takemitchy's team."

"Yes sir!" Takemichi replied.

"Listen here you guys. We might not have our captains with us in this battle... But I'm here so it'll be alright!" Mikey claimed.

"That's right. In Toman... We have Mikey-kun!" Takemichi noted.

"Let's crush Tenjiku!"

"Okay! Let's start this war!" Takemichi thought in determination.

The next morning, Ichirou went to the cemetery to visit Shinichiro with Takemichi and Inui.

"Shinichiro-kun... standing here is the 11th Gen Black Dragon Captain, Hanagaki Takemichi." Inui introduced Takemichi.

Takemichi bowed to Shinichiro's headstone. "I will live up to the First Gen's name. I'll make Black Dragon the greatest team ever!" He promised, making Ichirou smile.

"So the 11th Generation is born on the Black Dragon's founding day, huh?" Ichirou looked back at the familiar voice, Inui doing the same. "That's interesting."

"So you're Hanagaki Takemichi!"

"Who's this?" Takemichi asked himself.

"Izana! You bastard!" Inui exclaimed.

Takemichi suddenly widened his eyes at the familiarity. "So this is Kurokawa Izana?" He questioned to himself.

"What did you fuckers do to Koko?!" Inui yelled, grabbing onto Izana's collar and raising his fist.

"Calm down, Seishu!" Ichirou told him.

"Hey there... We didn't do anything at all, he was the one who wanted to join Tenjiku in the first place, right?" Izana asked.

"Let me go. I'm only here to visit my brother's grave." Izana continued on.

"Hold on... Inupi-kun!" Takemichi exclaimed.

"Now that Kokonoi is with us, I have no interest in you Inui, or Imaushi." Izana claimed.

"You..." Inui started to say.

"That's enough, Inupi-kun!"

Ichirou looked over to see that Mikey and Emma had arrived. "Mikey-kun!" Takemichi exclaimed.

"Huh? What's going on?" Emma asked.

"Woah. Visiting the grave with your beloved sister?" Izana questioned.

"Mikey..." Inui mumbled.

"Ah..." Takemichi trailed off. "This turned into a huge mess."

Mikey stayed silent for a moment. "Takemitchy. Take Emma away!" He suddenly ordered.

"Uh..." Takemichi trailed off, confused.

Takemichi and Emma were soon out of earshot. "Tonight, at 8 pm. Come to the 7th pier at Yokohama Bay with the whole Toman gang. Its the final battle between Tenjiku and Toman." Izana informed. "Let's end this okay? Mikey."

⊱ ────── {⋅. ✯ .⋅} ────── ⊰

The sound of a loud motorcycle was heard, getting Mikey's attention as he went to look at the commotion. Inui, Ichirou, and Izana soon followed after.

There, Ichirou saw Emma laying on the ground with Takemichi cradling her.

Inui and Ichirou gave each other a look, deciding they should gather the gang on what happened.

Soon enough, all of the Toman members were gathered at the shrine once more.

"Hey it's getting late, isn't it?"

"What's going on?"

"Did Tenjiku mess us up again?"

"What are they up to now?"

"Chifuyu! Have you tried contacting Mikey-kun?" Akkun asked.

"No use, he won't answer my call." Chifuyu replied.

"Takemichi, too... Wonder if something happened." Akkun muttered.

The sound of two motorcycles could be heard, revealing it to be Inui and Ichirou.

"Inui-kun! Imaushi-kun!"

"Where's Takemichi? Why isn't he with you two?"

"Something bad happened..." Inui responded.

"Huh?" Chifuyu questioned.

⊱ ────── {⋅. ✯ .⋅} ────── ⊰

Chifuyu soon returned with Takemichi as the two stood in front of the shrine.

"Listen up, everyone!" Chifuyu shouted out. "Just recently, the President's sister... has passed away."

"Mikey's sister?"

"For real?"

"Is the President alright?"

"Our President for sure can't join today's war with Tenjiku. Our Vice President, too." Chifuyu continued on.

"What? Then what are we supposed to do now?"

"Without our top two around, we can't fight, right?"

"That's right." Inui answered. "An army without its king is just a disorderly crowd. It'll be 100% defeated."

"It's not just about this fight." Ichirou added on.

"They've got a point."

"Aren't we fighting for him in the first place?"

"Should we retreat?"

"Surely if we retreat for today, we can prepare ourselves and get a better chance to win... But today Toman, will attack Tenjiku." Takemichi declared. His statement left everyone in shock.

"Huh?"

"What selfish shit are you talking about?"

"It's impossible for Toman to move without Mikey!"

"Since when do you run the orders in Toman, you fuck?!"

"Don't get carried away!"

"How bout you go alone then!"

"Don't fuck with us, you dickhead."

"We can't continue like this."

"At least, waiting for Mikey to recover will be a better idea."

"Lets just wrap it up for today!"

The Toman members began leaving as Takemichi stayed silent. "Well, this is how it turns out to be, huh?" Chifuyu questioned.

"They're not wrong. But if we retreat things will go the way Kisaki wants to." Takemichi claimed. "I have no choice... I've been planning to fight alone, anyway."

"Then? What are you going to do?" Chifuyu asked.

"Even if I have to go alone... I won't pull out from this fight." Takemichi said.

"Right..." Chifuyu smiled. "Lets do a double suicide then."

"Chifuyu... I'm sorry." Takemichi muttered.

"Its not just the two of you!"

"I'm with you! Takemichi!" Akkun declared.

"Akkun!"

"Always been with you! Takemichi is the only person who never runs away!" Akkun continued on, his words getting the attention of the other members.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Yamagishi, Makoto, and Takuya all declared in unison.

"Lets attack Tenjiku together!"

"You guys..." Takemichi muttered.

"This Takemitchy... He doesn't fight to win." Smiley's voice was soon heard.

"Huh?"

"No way!"

"I slipped out from the hospital!" Smiley exclaimed.

"Smiley-kun?!" Takemichi said in shock.

"Well, Takemichi is an idiot. That's why he never runs." That was Mitsuya's voice.

"Mitsuya-kun!" Takemichi shouted, seeing Mitsuya in a wheelchair with Hakkai behind him.

"Take these two with you." Mitsuya said.

"You can't carry Toman all alone, you know." Angry claimed.

"Right, onjin?" Hakkai asked.

"Angry-kun... Hakkai..." Takemichi muttered.

"Are you guys serious?" Inui questioned.

"Our chances to win is zero to none! But, if we run now, then consider it the end of Toman! We have to prove that we are Toman, right?!" Chifuyu's voice boomed. "Even if Mikey is not here... Toman will never lose!"

"Yeah!"

The members then began cheering "Toman!" over and over.

"You guys somehow did it. I really love Toman." Peh-yan commented.

"Chifuyu. I will... Save Emma-chan and Baji-kun." Takemichi said.

"Huh?"

"I don't know how, but the fact that I can time leap shows that nothing is impossible at this point." Takemichi continued. "I won't let things... end this way!"

"Lets go!" Takemichi exclaimed as everyone headed out to fight Tenjiku.

Tenjiku heard the sound of motorcycles in the distance. "Don't tell me...!" Kakucho exclaimed.

"Are you serious?!"

"Toman has arrived."

"Everyone gather around!" Chifuyu shouted as both gangs had a stare off with one another.

"I've been waiting for you, hero..." Kisaki announced.

"That bastard Kisaki... He's just standing there and watching." Chifuyu commented.

"He's that kind of guy." Takemichi said.

"It's as if we can't reach him unless we defeat Tenjiku. He's thought of this throughly, huh?" Chifuyu said.

"Just watch, Kisaki. I'll drag you down from there." Takemichi thought.

"400 members of Tenjiku versus 50 members of Toman. How'll you handle this clear disadvantage? Do entertain us, Toman!" Izana shouted.

"You go first... Shion." Izana said.

"Today's fore-runner will be me! Former President of the Black Dragons! Tenjiku Four Heavenly Kings, Madarame Shion! Who will Toman send?!" Shion exclaimed.

"'Fore-runner'? What does that mean?" Takemichi asked.

"It's the S-62's infamous ritual. They liven' up the battle by starting with a 1-on-1 fight." Yamagishi explained.

"Woah... The delinquent nerd has spoken." Makoto commented.

"I see. Since I took the lead for today's battle. It should be me!" Takemichi declared.

"Come on, stop joking around Toman!" Shion exclaimed. "Mikey, Draken, Mitsuya, and Smiley. Not even one of your MVP's are around. And no one's around to be fore-runner, too?!"

"Your opponent will be me." Peh-yan stepped forward.

"Peh-yan-kun." Takemichi said.

"Today you're acting as President. So step back." Peh-yan told him. "Tokyo Manji Gang acting 3rd Division Captain, Hayashi Ryouhei."

Shion got in his face. "Whatever! I can finish all of Toman myself!" He claimed.

"This 1-on-1 fight is important. The winning team will get a huge morale boost." Chifuyu said.

"So you realized why it is important, huh... Shion is Tenjiku's top 'Mad Dog.'" Izana informed.

"Go! Shion!"

"That dude looks lifeless already."

"Don't get all scared, Toman!"

"You know, after all this time you were talking..." Peh-yan throws a punch towards Shion's face. "I don't give a single shit."

Izana and the Tenjiku members stared in shock.

"Huh?"

"For real?! Wait? It ended?!" Takemichi exclaimed as Shion was on the ground.

"Huh?!"

"Taka-chan said this before, 'Peh-yan might be stupid, but in terms of strength he is above me.'" Hakkai said.

"Speak Japanese, you fuck." Peh-yan stated.

"Shion... defeated with one punch?!"

"Is this Toman?!"

"You entertain well, Toman!" Izana praised.

"Takemitchy!" Peh-yan turned to Takemichi. "I leave the rest to you. Lighten up the beacon for battle."

"Thank you, Peh-yan-kun." Takemichi thought. "Everyone, are you guys prepared?"

"Yep." Chifuyu replied.

"Whenever you're ready." Inui said.

"Just say the word." Ichirou stated.

"Chief." Hakkai added on.

"Kisaki!" Takemichi shouted out.

"Hanagaki Takemichi." Kisaki simply said.

"This long battle! Let's end it here!" Takemichi claimed.

"Today! Let's settle this once and for all!" Kisaki exclaimed.

"Let's go!"

Toman and Tenjiku then charged at each other.
