Muichiro, Tanjiro, Nezuko, and Takeo watched as the door they were staring at slid open, revealing a demon. "Takeo... you sense that?" Tanjiro asked. Takeo gave a nod and Tanjiro instantly moved in. "Muichiro! Upper Rank!" Tanjiro exclaimed. "Flame breathing, first form, unforgiving flame!" Tanjiro yelled, dashing and instantly cutting off the demon's head. Instantly, Tanjiro jumped backward, Takeo and Nezuko following suit. The demon split into two and Tanjiro's eyes widened.
"Go in! They fight ranged!" Tanjiro exclaimed. Takeo activated his power and held out his palm, sending out his golden lacquer chains and binding one. "God breathing, first form, holy rising blade, twist!" Tanjiro yelled. The holy rising blade twist was a forceful twist, converting what was originally a vertical slash into a horizontal slash and dealing devastating damage at the point where the blade twists. "Damn it, Karaku. It's always so annoying being merged with you," One of the two halves of the demon spoke. "Oh then, Sekido. I guess it's a good thing we're separated," the demon Tanjiro had cut ended up speaking, as Tanjiro had yet to cut off the head of the demon.
Suddenly, Karaku, who wielded an Uchiwa, or a traditional Japanese weaponized fan, though it was shaped like a maple leaf, swept out his weapon, sending a powerful gust of wind at the group. Takeo whipped out his chains, retracting them from the other demon and turning it into a whirling shield. "Golden Lacquer chain shield," Takeo spoke before whipping it out. "Golden Lacquer chainsaw!" Takeo exclaimed. The wind added momentum to Takeo's spin and he whipped it outward. Sekido raised his staff.
Lightning struck everywhere, forcing Tanjiro to drop to the floor to avoid getting hit. He rolled forward and jumped into the air, twisting his body forcefully. "God breathing, fifth form, Exploding Star!" Tanjiro yelled. His sword lit on fire as he swung it, a mirage of light surrounding the blade of his katana. He twirled sixteen times before twisting and slamming his katana downward, slicing into one of them.
Takeo moved behind Karaku and slammed the base of his scythe down before morphing it and slashing. He noticed Muichiro was gone, meaning Muichiro was sent flying. He sighed as he swept his katana at the demon, slicing its head. The demon split into two, revealing Aizetsu, who had a strange spear-like weapon called a Yari, and Urogi, who had two wings. Takeo rolled as Urogi almost got him.
Takeo rolled under a slash from Aizetsu, only to notice his Yari had bent. He raised his scythe and sliced off the arm of the demon before moving to Urogi and slashing off his wings by grabbing Urogi in mid-air with his chains and pulling him inward. Takeo then slid next to Tanjiro, who just rolled away from another bolt of electricity. "Damn! There's no way to beat these guys!" Tanjiro exclaimed. Takeo nodded in agreement. "Takeo. I believe we need to go all out... with our techniques," Tanjiro told him, making him nod. The two then launched at their opponents again.
Tanjiro whirled to his side as he slashed at Sekido, only for him to dodge. "Sun breathing, tenth form, dragon sun halo head dance!" Tanjiro muttered. He moved swiftly, dicing up Sekido. However, he noticed that Sekido seemed to split into two people again. Tanjiro grimaced before brandishing his pocket knife, which was graciously upgraded to a nichirin one for him. He stabbed twice before twirling his knife into an icepick grip and stabbing downward, flicking backward with his katana. However, the two stayed, but not before Tanjiro picked up a small version of the first demon.
'Get him,' That's all Tanjiro was chanting to himself. He felt his vision change and saw the little Hantengu running through the forest. He passed by Takeo, who noticed him and followed, making sure to defend his brother. The two ran quickly and finally caught him. "END OF THE LINE!" Tanjiro yelled, slicing at the demon's head. Suddenly, all four presences merged and converged. "Zohakuten!" The little version yelled.
The demon walked to them and Takeo choked, only for Tanjiro to explode with the same menacing aura, forcing the demon to step back. "Takeo. Deal with the small guy. I got this," Tanjiro spoke darkly, making the demon flinch. "Go," Tanjiro spoke. Takeo left and Tanjiro slid into a stance.
"Breathing Mix, Vapor Slash," Tanjiro muttered, dashing swiftly. The demon felt an arm leave his body before Tanjiro turned. Tanjiro's crimson eyes sparked and flickered, revealing a light blue color flicking his crimson eyes. "Thunderous Mountain," Tanjiro muttered. He had a secret ability his father had taught him about, yet he never told anyone. The day his father died, he swore to never use it. Today was one exception. Thunderous Mountain was a set of lightning techniques. He could manifest and use raw lightning to do anything involving electricity, including body manipulation and more.
Tanjiro moved the demon around, forcing him into the air. Tanjiro then dashed at him. "Thunderous Mountain, clouds of romance," Tanjiro muttered. His body was cloaked in lightning as he dashed at the demon in front of him. Zohakuten launched lightning and Tanjiro whirled, taking his power and sending it back in several arches, paralyzing the demon temporarily. The fight continued as Tanjiro brought his crimson blade down, making Zohakuten scream in pain.
Tanjiro jumped backward and flipped, only to get hit by a spear piercing his gut. Tanjiro focused and used hemostasis to stop the bleeding and forced his abdomen to tighten, allowing his gut to heal while he fought. He then noticed Zohakuten fly and he jumped backward, only to get hit by the back of the Yari, breaking his ribs. He coughed blood and dashed at the demon. "Breathing Mix, Hazy Morning!" Tanjiro yelled.
Hazy morning was a special move. It was similar to solar heat haze but it had aspects of the "twin dragons" move. In other words, Zohakuten couldn't see where he was going to get hit but was still being sliced everywhere. He let out a loud scream and unleashed an attack, only for Tanjiro to slice downward, splitting the demon. The demon then dissolved into ash and Tanjiro sighed. "I see. I am victorious," Tanjiro muttered, sheathing his sword and walking off to check on Takeo.
Tanjiro walked over to see Nezuko. His eyes widened in horror, only to notice that she was standing normally in the sun. "N-Nezuko!" Tanjiro exclaimed. He saw Muichiro limping towards them, about to be killed. "Shit!" Tanjiro yelled. Using his breathing, he slowed time and teleported in front of Muichiro, stopping all attacks going for him. "DIE!" Tanjiro yelled, infuriated a comrade was about to be killed. The demon dissolved as Tanjiro, fueled by rage, was able to slice through the head of the demon. He heard a loud crash and saw Mitsuri stumble out, bleeding and her clothes torn, but still crying in relief. Tanjiro sighed in relief. "Thank god you two are fine. I need to check on my sister," Tanjiro spoke.
Tanjiro got an explanation from Takeo and the group all hugged each other, finally glad to be alive together under the sun. Tanjiro motioned for Muichiro and Mitsuri and Mitsuri dragged Muichiro. The group all hugged each other and Muichiro finally smiled softly, obviously in chibi form as the Kakushi came back, pulling the hugging group to the butterfly mansion.
