Tokyo Revengers: End the Standoff

"KAKU-CHAN!!" The screen opened with Takemichi screaming for his old friend.

Kakucho and Izana both lay motionless on the ground, eyes opened but no life.

Mikey looked at his brother and Kakucho in sadness before pulling himself together and faced the surrounding gang members. "Toman, Tenjiku...everyone, listen up!" Bother sides paid attention. "The conflict is over. An ambulance and the police will be here soon! Before any more misfortune happens, let's all get outta here!! I will stay here and take care of the rest!! Dismissed!!" No one moved. "MAKE IT SNAPPY!!"

"Mikey!!" A voice called out. Mikey looked towards the voice and saw Mucho being held up by Sanzu. "You...need to get outta here, too."

"We'll stay behind." Mocchi finished.

"You guys..." Mikey started but stopped once he saw the looks on their faces. The Toman and Tenjiku members were leaving now, leaving behind the top members. They stood and watched as Ran walked over to the bodies, the grief overflowing.

"...Somehow..." Ran started. "...I come to admire you guys." He looked at Izana. "Captain." He looked at Kakucho. "Kakucho." He then reached down and gently closed both of their eyes. "At least rest well." The strong and confident Haitani brother was nowhere to be seen, a sad and lost teenager in his place. "I've seen through to the end...the way you both lived." Mikey watched and Takemichi sobbed.

"Thank you, Ran." Izana said. "For closing our eyes."

"You deserve to rest." Was all Ran could manage to say. All these years he simply believed that Tenjiku and Izana were just a passing moment. Something they'd one day forget, nothing important but after so many years and so many memories....Tenjiku was, in fact, his family. It was never going to be something they'd ever forget.

"Seeing your bodies makes me feel so horrible." Senju said as he wiped her tears away.

"I didn't really like him in the beginning but after seeing all of this..." Yuzuha also wiped her tears. "I don't hate him!"

"I honestly forgot Sanzu was there." Akkun pointed out, hoping it would get people to stop crying.

"So did I." Pah said, looking over at Sanzu. "You betrayed Toman, what the hell?"

"I completely forgot that!" Peh sat up straight, wiping his tears.

Sanzu glared at Akkun before addressing Mikey. "I believe that I did it for a reason."

"A reason?" Draken asked, he too, just remembered that Sanzu was acting along with Mucho. "Mucho had a reason. Let's hear yours."

"I...I may have done it for Mikey..." Was all Sanzu could say. He knew he did it for Mikey, there's absolutely no way he'd do it for any other reason. He lives and breathes Mikey; there's no way it wasn't for Mikey. 'It had to be because I needed to know if Mucho would actually betray Mikey, or maybe I have something planned?'

"How do you know that?" Kazutora asked.

"I just know." Sanzu said, still looking at Mikey. "I don't know if what I'm thinking is the reason but if it is, I believe I didn't actually betray you, Mikey."
