Third Person:

Mr. Shabana's been poisoned, so I have to protect him! Strike with your sword the instant he makes a move! The second he moves an inch, that's my chance!

Tengen is almost immediately in front of Nezuko. His sword is almost touching her chin.

Swing your sword! Evade it! Evade it! Bend backwards! Bend...

Gyutaro pushes Nezuko upwards and his sword clashes with Tengen's.

Nezuko lands on the floor and looks down.

What are you doing? He protected you instead, and now you're just a hindrance!

Nezuko looks up and feels a noise from above. All of Hinatsuru's lasers go through the ceiling. They don't hit the Hashira or the Uppermoons but Nezuko deflects then with her sword.

I can't deflect this many belts.


Aoi joins Kanao on the ceiling.

Makinatsuru: We can see everything now,  including all of your movements. Now that Lord Tengen's awake, I'm able to show you what my true power looks like.

Aoi: Shut up! Your shrill voice is really making my head hurt!


Tengen laughed.

Tengen: Them being your Tsuguko was a lie. You were moving, so out of sync, it's almost laughable. And here I thought you'd be different.

Kanao and Aoi dodge and hit all of Makinatsuru's lasers.

Makinatsuru: You won't get close enough to even start fighting me.

Aoi: Shut up, Bug Thing! If you're really as strong as you say, then why runs your mouth the whole time instead of killing us?

Makinatsuru: Be careful what you ask for!

Makinatsuru makes a a bunch of huge lasers go towards the two slayers on the roof.

Gyutaro continues to fight Tengen as the lasers go through.

Tenegn: Die already!

This speed... he really is like a praying mantis. And these attacks of his...

Gyutaro and Tengen continue to fight and clash swords with one another.

The sound waves from Tengen's Blood Demon Art go towards Gyutaro's back.

I'm trapped.

Nezuko uses her sword to block the blow from hitting him.

Why are the slashes... so heavy? Sidestep it! Ward off the blow! If you take it head on, it'll snap your blade in half! If it's power versus power, the weaker side always loses. Don't misjudge the flow of power, and redirect it as necessary. The flexible water breathing technique is better for defense if I had just done this before... My blade never would've gotten chipped!

Nezuko changes to Water Breathing and gets rid of the attack.

Poison Breathing... Fifth Form... Blood Sickles!!!

You can use the word bloody moves all you want, Hashira, but it changes nothing!

Makinatsuru laughs.

Makinatsuru: Drop dead, you ugly toads!

Aoi: Now we have loud blades flying towards us with the lasers? If this keeps up, I'll never be able to get near the Bug Lady! These damn loud blades are bad news. I can sense that even a scratch from them would be deadly!
