Yaiko, Giyu, Nezuko, Tanjiro, Kyojuro, Kanroji, and Tengen were in a crystal cavern-like room filled with moonlight and luscious forestry. "Kyaa, this place is so beautiful. Right Nezuko?" Kanroji exclaimed "Yeah, it is Ms. Mitsuri" Nezuko and Tanjiro agreed. "I can agree with that statement too, it's very flashy" Tengen said, grabbing one of the crystals "Exactly, this is a very lovely cavern, Upper Two" Kyojuro complimented. "Thank you Demon Slayers, I find this cavern very beautiful and helpful for my Blood Demon Art. What do you think, Tomioka Giyu?" Yaiko asked, taking pride in thinking she knew his answer.

Giyu subtly grabbed the hilt of his blade, walking toward the largest amount of crystals, cutting them into pieces while maintaining eye contact with Yaiko. "I hate it, since it's from a demon" Giyu pocketed a few crystals for Shinobu and Aoi later.

"You bastard, Kusho was right about you. You're an emotionless husk of a shell whenever it comes to us!" Yaiko held her arms back, seething in extreme anger. "Glad he introduced me properly" Giyu stared her down, pointing his blade at her. "Tanjiro, Nezuko on me. Tengen and Kyojuro will back up Giyu" Kanroji commanded "Right" the siblings responded, unsheathing their blades.

"Giyu, how are we handling this? Fashily or quickly?" Tengen asked "Depends, I want to finish this quick. What about you Kyojuro?" Giyu looked over at Kyojuro. "We'll pace ourselves, so, flashily until we need to end things quickly" Kyojuro answered. "I'm literally right here, do you think I can't hear your preparations?" Yaiko snarled "We know, we just don't care" Giyu remarked. Fuck the plan, I'm going to murder them. Yaiko stared at them with malicious intent.

Blood Demon Art: Apparition of Prominence/Breath of the Sun First Form: Dance; Dancing Flash/Water Breathing Third Form: Flowing Dance/Love Breathing First Form: Shiver of First Love

Nezuko swings and bends her blade in a winding motion along with her body and dances in a flowing pattern, slicing everything in its path, as Tanjiro combines the fundamental technique of Thunder Breathing with the high-powered slash of Dance by inhaling huge amounts of oxygen, increasing the pumping of blood through the entire body, focusing it on the legs, and releasing it all to assault the target with a slash, while Kanroji dashes forward and performs a single slash that winds through the target, hitting multiple areas with one slice.

Yaiko moved her hands in the form of the sun, as stardust and light fled from her hands, forming a solar ronin in front of herself, as the solar ronin was attacked, it imploded into stardust and solar heat. Burning Tanjiro's face, melting his left eye. "Oni-chan!" Nezuko cried "I'll be fine Nezuko" Tanjiro smiled, activating his Demon Slayer Mark.

"Nevermind being flashy, let's end this quickly" Tengen said "Got it" everyone replied. "So, the boy has more fight in him?" Yaiko laughed to herself.

Blood Demon Art: Apparition of All/Sound Breathing Fifteenth Form: Symphony of Liberation/Flame Breathing Fourth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation/Water Breathing Eight Form: Waterfall Basin

Yaiko moved her hands in the form of an eye, as bright flashes fled from her hands, forming three Seraphims of light, sending the eyes at Tengen, Kyojuro, and Giyu. Kyojuro performs multiple slashes, in a fluid circular motion to defend himself from the Seraphims, as Giyu leaps into the air above Yaiko, cutting vertically in a flowing motion. While Tengen throws a plethora of explosive beads at Yaiko as they throw multiple kunai at the beads before running at her and slamming his chained twin swords into her. Tengen then kicks her up into the air before spinning his chained twin swords at Yaiko's sides, catching her and kicking her back into the air before sending one of the chained twin swords into Yaiko's chest and pulling her down to the ground. The user then slams their chained twin swords into the opponent's neck.

Yaiko moves her head away from Tengen's swords, digging her claws into his arms, before degloving his right arm and searing his left arm. "Shit, heh a little pain never stopped a Hashira" Tengen laughed, kicking Yaiko into the air.

Love Breathing Twelfth Form: Passion of Crystalized Love

Kanroji dashes toward Yaiko, fully extending their blade and rapidly slashing at her before jumping on Yaiko's head and wrapping their blade around Yaiko's neck, leaping into the air and quickly retracting it. While Kanroji is in the air she leaps off of the Yaiko's face, doing a somersault and extending her blade again as she rewraps it around the Yaiko. Kanroji then begins to spin before slamming Yaiko onto the ground and slashing at Yaiko's heart

Yaiko grabbed Kanroji's wrist, searing her chest and neck. "Gah! Tanjiro, Nezuko. Now" Kanroji commanded "I don't think so" Yaiko held her hands up.

Breath of the Sun Thirteenth Form: Sun Rise/Water Breathing Tenth Form: Constant Flux/Blood Demon Art: Taboo of Apparitions

Yaiko held her hands up, moving them in the motion of a cross. Black smoke and moonlight fled from her hands, forming the previous Upper Moons and their closest allies as Upper Moons.

Tanjiro continuously performs all twelve forms of Sun Breathing in repetitive succession to increase the accuracy and agility of its movements, and attacks as he cuts down the formed Upper Moons. While Nezuko charges toward her allies formed by Yaiko whilst performing a continuous flowing attack with her blade which increases in strength and speed over time using the momentum to cut down all of them except for the formed Giyu, Aoi, Kyojuro, Tengen, Muichiro, and Yuichiro.

As Tanjiro got closer to Yaiko, she snapped her fingers, swapping Tanjiro's position with Nezuko. Before he could react, the formed Aoi slashed at his chest. Meanwhile, Nezuko was grabbed by her neck, as Yaiko took Nezuko's sword, using it to impale her against the cavern walls. "Nezuko!" Tanjiro shouted as the formed Kyojuro was about to use the Sixteenth Form of Flame Breathing.

Water Breathing Eleventh Form: Dead Calm

Giyu sliced the formed Kyojuro into pieces, ceasing all body movements, and entered a state of complete tranquility, deflecting, blocking, and cutting any incoming attacks with imperceptible speed with his blade. As he cut down all of the apparitions, he signaled to Kyojuro before blitzing at Yaiko.

"Let's see why Kusho praises your name so much" Yaiko blocked his attack, raising her free hand.

Blood Demon Art: Apparition of the Ancient

Yaiko moved her hand in the motion of a forming pentagram as smoke and fire fled from her hand and went into the ground forming a giant flaming apparition that engulfed the area burning everyone but herself alive. "Kyojuro! Now!" Giyu yelled, holding her in place

Flame Breathing Sixteenth Form: Divine Flame Commandment

The flames from Yaiko's Blood Demon Art went out, as Kyojuro assumed a low stance before blitzing at Yaiko cloaked in a white and gold flame, and flinging her into the air with a swing of his sword. Kyojuro sends multiple devastating slashes of flames before leaping into the air and continuously slashing at Yaiko ending the assault with a devastating downward slash, and charging up a tremendous attack, crashing down to her with extreme amounts of white and gold flames.

Once the white and gold flames disappeared, Kyojuro looked back at everyone, the right side of his face singed by Yaiko's flames. He sheathed his blade, as Yaiko's body turned to ash. "Looks like we get to rest a bit huh?" Tengen said, helping Tanjiro up "Survivor's Gambit really helped out there" Kyojuro stated, carefully pulling the sword out of Nezuko's stomach.

The six felt the room shake as the crystals from the cavern fell and shattered. "Tengen, on me. Kyojuro Kanroji keep them safe" Giyu ordered, breaking through the wall with the Primal Rage technique. As Tengen followed Giyu, Kyojuro slashed through any falling crystals and debris, as Kanroji held Nezuko and Tanjiro close to her, shielding them with her body.

==================================================

Aoi's Group POV

"Kanao, help me tend to everyone's wounds" Aoi said, going over to Muichiro to treat his wound. "On it" Kanao went over to Inosuke, wrapping up his left shoulder, putting pressure on the wound to cut off its circulation. After the two treated Aoi's stab wound, the floor and walls of the Infinity Fortress began crumbling. Before the room, the six were in fully fell apart, Giyu and Tengen broke through the wall, protecting the six from the large stone debris.
