Chifuyu scrambled up to the top of the cars, his heart pounding in his chest as he spotted Kaiya. She knelt beside Keisuke, her face streaked with tears, her trembling hands covered in blood as they pressed against his wound. Her eyes, wide with panic and desperation, darted between Keisuke's pale face and the blood that just wouldn't stop flowing.

- "Kisaki, you bastard! What'd you do to him?!" Chifuyu's voice cracked as he turned to Kisaki, his rage barely contained.

Kisaki stood tall, his face smeared with blood but wearing a smug expression. 

- "You saw it, didn't you? I didn't do a damn thing," he replied, his voice a cold, calculated drawl.

- "Baji-san!" Chifuyu's gaze shifted back to Kaiya, his heart sinking further at the sight of her helplessness. "Kaiya, what happened? Was he stabbed?"

Kaiya's lips trembled as she nodded, her voice barely a whisper.

- "It was my brother...," she said, the words painful, like an admission of guilt.

Kazutora, disoriented but getting to his feet, met Chifuyu's furious glare. Meanwhile, Kisaki continued, his tone taunting as he twisted the situation. 

- "Kazutora doesn't mess around, does he? He lured Baji into Valhalla just to kill him when he least expected it. At least Kaiya Hanemiya came to her senses and switched sides," he added slyly, his eyes gleaming as he turned to Mikey, who was slowly rising. "Right, leader?"

Mikey's eyes were dark and stormy, locked on the scene before him. He saw Kaiya kneeling by Keisuke, her hands trembling as she tried to stop the bleeding. His trusted friend, reduced to tears, fighting to keep the boy she loved alive. His gaze hardened, shifting to Kazutora as memories of betrayal and loss surfaced.

- "I wanted to kill you for so long..." Mikey's voice was low, filled with a quiet, simmering rage as he began walking down from the cars toward Draken and Hanma, who were locked in a brutal fight. Kaiya watched him, her heart hammering in her chest as fear clawed at her. She knew Mikey's anger could be as lethal as his strength, and she was terrified of what he would do. But she couldn't leave Keisuke's side. Not now.

- "As soon as you got outta juvie, I was gonna kill you," Mikey continued, his steps steady, purposeful. "But the one who kept telling me not to was Baji." His voice wavered slightly, a rare moment of vulnerability. "Baji said: Kazutora just wanted to make you happy, Mikey. That's why he can't accept it. Even though he killed your brother... to make himself believe he wasn't the bad guy. Kazutora had no choice but to decide you were his enemy."

Mikey's words hit like a hammer, and Kaiya's chest tightened. She glanced down at Keisuke, his pulse weak but still there, and then back at Mikey. She couldn't let this spiral any further. But she was trapped, torn between her love for her brother and her loyalty to Toman.

Mikey reached Draken and Hanma, his voice calm but filled with finality. 

- "This fight is over."

Hanma smirked, his body still tense. 

- "Huh? The fight's over?! You tryin' to fuck with me, Mikey? That's not something you get to decide, bitch!"

With a swift, brutal kick, Mikey sent Hanma crashing to the ground. 

- "See? It's over." Mikey's voice was chillingly calm as Valhalla's remaining members scattered like leaves in the wind.

- "Somebody call an ambulance!!" Kaiya's voice rang out, raw and desperate. "He's still alive!! Medical unit, get here now!" Her words carried the urgency of someone trying to stave off death itself. The three "medics" rushed toward her, now unimpeded, their faces pale as they took in the scene.
