"No one can break our bond."

-With Zenitsu (3rd Person POV)-
Zenitsu walks through the forest panting heavily from his tiring run. He reaches a tree to lean on it as he pants out, "Ne... Ne... Nezu... Ne... Whe... Whe...Wh-Whe... Whe... Where are you?" He continues to pant as he looks around the forest.

-Back with the battle (3rd Person POV)-
As the swordsman outnumber Inosuke, Tanjiro and Murata, Inosuke says, "Dammit! What a pain! I'll just demolish them all at once!" Tanjiro argues, "No! You can't! There has to be a way! So, let's try not to hurt these-" Tanjiro was cut off by a swordsman charging right at him. Murata clashed with the controlled Demon Slayer's blade. Tanjiro says, "Murata-san?" Murata says, "Leave these guys to me and go on ahead!" Inosuke asks, "What kind of talk is that, bed-wetter?" Murata snapped, "I never pissed my pants, you stupid boar! I wasn't talking to you, so just shut up!" The same controlled Demon Slayer swung at Murata, only to miss. As Murata kept the Demon Slayer busy, he said, "I know that wasn't my finest moment back there, but I'm a Demon Slayer, too! I'll handle this! Now I know that I can cut the threads, and these guys can only make simple movements! I'll watch out for the spiders, too! Those controlled closer to the demon must be stronger fighters! So, you two go on!" Tanjiro yells, Understood! Thanks! Let's go, Inosuke!" Tanjiro grabs Inosuke as Inosuke says, "Oh? Hey! Hey, let go of me, dammit! I wanna pound that guy's face first! Who's he calling 'a stupid boar'?" Murata yelled, "Would you shut up? Just drop it and get out of here!" As both Inosuke and Tanjiro get farther, Inosuke's yell gets quieter. He yelled, "I'm so going to punch you when I get back!"
As Tanjiro and Inosuke run towards the demon controlling the Demon Slayers, Inosuke says, "Dammit! I'm gonna punch that guy if it's the last thing I do!" Tanjiro says, "Stop talking like that!" Inosuke argues, "He called me 'a stupid boar', OK, Monjiro?" Tanjiro yelled, "It's 'Tanjiro'! Anyway, are we heading the right way?" Inosuke answered, "My senses never lie! But... what are all these annoying threads?" Tanjiro, running through threads, says, "We must be closing in on the demon!" As Tanjiro finishes, a footstep was heard, halting the two from their running. Inosuke said, "Huh? Here's another bunch." The female slayer, who has her blade inside another's throat, says, "Don't... Don't come any closer... please summon someone of higher rank! Otherwise, I'll end up killing everyone!" She sobs as she carries another slayer's head in the other hand. She begs, "Please! Please!" Tanjiro puts on a look of terror as she begs.

-Somewhere in the forest-
The female demon giggled and said, "I wonder if you can defeat them. The closer you get to me, the thicker and stronger the threads are, and the more powerful my dolls become." The demon boy from before says, "Kaa-san." The mother demon says, "Oh!" She noticed the boy and instantly put on a face full of fear. He asks, "You can win, right?" The mother demon said, "Rui." The demon boy, Rui, says, "Don't you think this is taking too much time?" The mother demon whimpers in fear as Rui says, "You'd better hurry up... or I'm gonna tell father." The mother demon stuttered in fear, "I-I can do it! I can do it, all right? I promise to protect you! So, please! Not your father! Don't tell your father! Just not him!" Rui stood still for a while, then said, "Then hurry it up." He walked away as the mother demon pants. She begins to whimper and shake. She starts to pull the threads violently as she says, "Die! Die! Just did already! Or else there'll be hell for me to pay!"

-With Tanjiro (His POV)-
The female corps member raised her sword violently as she screamed, "Run!" She swung at me while I hopped back. I thought, "So fast!" She starts swinging her sword in the air as she said, "I'm being controlled, so my movements aren't my own at all! We were never... this strong!" She started to throw her sword into the air in an unnatural way. I heard cracks from her back as she groans in pain. She then charged at me so fast that I barely had enough time to pull out my blade. We clashed for a while. As we clashed, I thought, "The demon is forcing her to move her body with the threads, and has no concern if her bones get broken!" The girl slammed her sword into the ground as she screams in pain. I thought, "So cruel!" More people started to rise as we heard that same noise. Two injured swordsmen rose with bent bones, some even sticking out of their skin. The very injured swordsman said, "P-Please kill me! My arms and... and legs... The bones are piercing my inner organs! Every time I'm forced to move, the pain's unbearable! I can't take it anymore! Either way, I'm dead. So, please help me! Please end our misery!" Inosuke charges to the Demon Slayer as it says, "Ok, you got it!" I yell, "Hold up-" as the female Corps member swung at me. I finish, "Hold up, will you? We gotta find a way to help him!" As Inosuke charges, he yells, "Oh, shut up! You really need to shut up!" "But," I say as I block another attack. Inosuke says as he blocks the injured Slayer's attacks, "He's asking us to kill him, all right? These guys are fast, too. If you drag your feet, we're going to go down!" I yell, "I know that! Just give me a second to think! I don't want to use any attacks. But if we only slash the threads, they'll just get reattached! To stop them from moving... I know!" I run the opposite direction in hopes that one of them would follow me. The female Slayer is the first to follow me. I thought, "Good! She's following me!" Inosuke yelled, seemingly irritated, "Hey, why are you running around in circles like that? Quit fooling around!" I stop from running and ran into the controlled Demon Slayer and used,

Total Concentration...

I threw the controlled Slayer into the air as she lands on a tree branch. I yelled, "All right! You're all tangled up as I planned! Inosuke screamed, "What's up with that? I wanna do that, too!" As he threw his swords down, I started to battle with another Corps member. As I was battling with the controlled Corps member, Inosuke cheers and laughs as he says, "You see that? I can do whatever you can do!" I yelled, "My bad! I kind of missed it!" Inosuke yelled, "What?" I shot back, "I mean, you can't blame me!"

-Mother Demon's POV-
I tense in anger as I say, "Damn! They're all such useless dolls! I have no choice but to unleash that doll, then."
