Loop was wandering around searching for his head as it had been blasted into the town, he looked around to see demons everywhere and felt his body getting slashed. He tried to figure where he was and tried navigating his head, he felt his way until he spotted his body in the distance. A demon was slashing him, it looked weird and deformed though. The body dashed towards him.

(Loop) - What were his last words...? I lost focus and tapped into my past, it looked like the man from my dreams... I got to know him somehow on the mugen train... who was he? and why him...? -

- end of flashback -
(Loop) - So that was it... -
Tears dripped from his eyes.
(Loop) - Patata didn't get to say anything... -

The body picked his head up and placed it back on, he didn't know where his sword was but a swordsmith tossed him a nichirn sword, it rapidly changed to purple and he sliced the pot off of the demon by instinct.
[Loop] - Gyokko eh? -

Somewhere off in the woods Gyokko was being chased by Mid and Muichiro, with his many arms he pulled out pots and fired the fish attack again.
[Mid] - OUT OF MY WAY!! -
An explosion could be heard from the village, Loop rushed in that direction tears coming from his eyes.
(Loop) - We lost Patata- we lost him- shit- no no no no! Damnit- P-patata- you never got- never got the respect you d-deserved. You were funny- and brave- i couldn't do anything- you went on until your last breath yet there was nothing i could do! -

Mid rushed behind Gyokko, Muichiro then jumped towards him. He disappeared to a pot on the tree and released the tentacles,
Muichiro had picked up another sword from the swordsmith so he easily slashed the tentacles apart. Mid ran towards the tree.
[Mid] - Wind breathing; fourth form: rising dust storm! -
He slashed above him and cut the pot, Gyokko was forced out the pot and and he landed in another. Muichiro stood there silently, he had zoned out. Gyokko released the pin fish which shot hundreds of pins at Muichiro, a mark formed on his face and he blocked the attacks easily. He then rushed Gyokko and swung at him. Gyokko teleported to the tree and he began rushing off back to the shed before releasing more of his goldfish demons.

Mid slashed the pots off of three while Muichiro slashed five. They ran after Gyokko, Marko hit Mid head on knocking them both out, Muichiro stopped and saw some fighting off in the distance. He kicked the two and they suddenly woke up, Mid rubbed his head and so did Marko, his mark had been activated during the fight.
[Loop] - MARKO!!! -
(Marko) - Its Loop! Wait- where the hell is Patata? -
[Loop] - PATATA IS DEAD!! MOVE AND LET ME KILL THAT BASTARD HANTENGU!!! -
[Marko] - Patata...? D-dead!? T-that- that bastard- h-he- he- he killed him- -
Tears flooded his eyes, he dropped to his knees
[Tanjiro] - GET UP AND FIGHT! -
(Marko) - Fight. Just like before. Ignore the death- ignore it! IGNORE IT- -
Marko screamed at the top of his lungs, he couldn't stop the tears, he suddenly stopped. Zohakuten looked off in his direction as he was blocking every oncoming attack. Marko gave him a death glare, veins on his forehead and wrist slowly burst.
(Muichiro) - He's losing a lot of blood by standing there... -

Marko's sword slowly changed to a crimson red colour, in an instant Marko dashed at Zohakuten.
(Zohakuten) - His aura suddenly changed- shit i need to move- -
[Marko] - Dragon breathing; second form: dragon claw. -
He slashed downwards and hit Zohakuten, it was the first anyone had hit him. Another tree grew from the ground and it sent a shockwave towards him, he was hit but he managed to push through and almost slash him again. The tree then electrocuted him, it dived down and went to eat him. Suddenly the tree was slashed up and Marko was saved. It was Kanroji. She landed beside Genya who was shooting a tree. She was confused until the tree shot lightning at them, Marko rushed past it and slashed the tree in half.

Kanroji rushed towards the upper moon.
[Kanroji] - Hey! Chill out! Im gonna take Nezuko back now! -
[Zohakuten] he raised a brow - Shut it. Harlot. I only take orders from one person in this world. -
(Kanroji) - Harlot!? How rude! He looks as young as my little brother! -

Zohakuten went to electrocute her with another tree, she dodged the attack by using a breathing technique.
(Zohakuten) - I saw another hashira earlier... where the hell did he go? he said "sorry im late" then when i went to shock him he disappeared. Don't tell me i killed him already? I hate bastards like that... -
Out of nowhere a sword burst through his head, the attacker dashed from tree to tree as they were unarmed. Kanroji looked at the sword, Marko's eyes widened as he took a look at the sword.
[Patata] - It- It's just- a f-flesh wound! Nothing- I c-can't heal! -
(Marko) - Patata-!? -
[Marko] - PATATA!!! -
[Loop] - Patata-? -
Loop looked at Patata, lost in the thought he hadn't noticed his arms were sliced off by Zohakuten and his sword was kicked aside. The arms quickly regenerated and he pulled them up to block a kick, Zohakuten then punched him in the gut and slashed his throat with his dagger.
(Zohakuten) - That kid- Patata. That was his name, his presence felt like that of the water hashira i fought about a hundred years ago... Her name was... Patatina Tomioka- Wait- This kid- Is he a Tomioka aswell!? Similar names... Shit- Focus! -
