Tanjiro, Zane, and Inosuke all screamed out as they put everything into their slices and cut through the demons necks sending their heads flying

Tengen and Tanjiro fell to the ground as Zane fell to the ground having slipped off the roof to cut the belt and rolled next to Tanjiro as Gyutaro's head hit the ground and bounced to his sisters head

The Hashira took multiple massive breaths having finally defeated the demons then he looked to the demons body seeing Gyutaro's neck stump starting to emit more blood and he gasped

Tengen: Kamado! Ryuki!

He looked back to the two as they sat there recovering Tanjiro racked with poison and Zane dizzy and lightheaded 

Tengen: -Kamado! Ryuki! Get up! Its not over yet!

Zane: (What's he saying? I cant hear him.)

Everything was moving in slow motion and he wasn't even using his eyes

Zane: (Did... Did we fail to cut off their heads?)

Tengen: -Run! This isn't over yet!

He slowly limped to them

Zane: (Its... Its not over?)

Tengen: Run!

Suddenly Gyutaro's body released a large blood tornado attack destroying everything around them and the entire remaining district this attack launched Nezuko up in the air where she woke up and used her fire to negate the blood attack

Nezuko patted her hands on Tanjiro's shoulders trying to wake him up and slowly Tanjiro woke to see Nezuko standing over him

Tanjiro: Nezuko...

He looked around seeing Zane unconscious face down next to him surrounding them was the burnt and charred rubble that was the remains of the district then he sat up

Tanjiro: (So awful. The whole place is wrecked.)

Then Nezuko pushed her body against Tanjiro's and rubbed him with her shoulder

Tanjiro: You were the one who saved me, Nezuko? Thanks!

He placed his hand on her head then he shook Zane who groaned 

Zane: What... Happened?

He raised up and looked around 

Tanjiro: Come on! We need to check on the others!

He stood up but his legs buckled and he fell

Tanjiro: (I cant... Move my body! No. Why am I able to move at all? Why am I alive? After being poisoned!)

Zenitsu: Tanjiro! Zane!

The three heard Zenitsu calling out to them for help

Zane: Zenitsu?

Zenitsu: Guys! Help me!

Tanjiro tried to move but still couldn't so Zane picked him up and carried him piggyback style

Zane: Come on, Nezuko.

She muffled okay and they ran to Zenitsu who was on the ground

Zenitsu: Tanjiro! Zane! I woke up, and my body hurts all over! Both my legs! Are they broken? What's going on? Who did this to me? It really hurts! I'm too scared to look!

The three stopped in front of him and Zane crouched down to him

Zane: You're okay!

Tanjiro: I'm so glad!
