 At full force Azazel charges up towards Maiya with rage as he proceeds to knocking her into next week with his fist....THHHOOOWW!! A large echo is heard once again as Maiya catches his fist. Azazel then continues to look down at Maiya as she began to raise her head up to look towards him with her blazing blue blue hair struggling to get his fist free from her grip. 
"THIS IS THE END FOR YOU AZAZEL, I'M GOING TO FINISH YOU HERE!! Demanded Maiya. 
"It does matter how much power you have, you shall never faze me" explained Azazel, Maiya then does a super punch to his torso sending him fly away from her starting the final battle of strength. Attack after attack, blow after blow they continue their fight standing tall for what their beliefs, however theirs one more person fueling Azazel's power and that person must be freed to even think of standing a chance.... across the room Sokai's hand begins to move as he slowly regained consciousness.

(Outside)
As Maiya and her team continued their battle inside the Jersey Devil against Azazel, Ms.Kanna and her group were still recovering. "Is everyone alright?" asked Ms.Kanna, "O yeah I'm fine responded Carla as the one around them suffered a few bruises and scratches.  
"How about you Lord D'marco asked Skull as he rushed to his masters side walking straight past The League. 
"O yea I'm fine don't worry about me!" said the League with sarcasm. As they checked on one another Carla then noticed that Ms.Kanna mask was now heavily damaged till you could see her right eye. As D'marco(Jace) stood to his feet he notices one of Ms.Kanna abilities  the wall of the dead, a wall built from the bodies of the deceased. 
"So that's how we manage to survive if I must say so that is quite impressive Lady Kanna your reputation is one to not be over looked" responded D'marco.  However the Jersey Devil has had enough of the guardians and their persistence, "I'll finish you all with this last blow" yelled The Jersey Devil as he began to gather to a very large amount of Dark Chi energy once again as a massive blood coated sphere floated above him from his mouth.
   "Kyūkyoku no hebi no dokueki!!!" 
Holy Mother of God yells the League, with that much dark energy won't any of us survive in this barrier. Suddenly they began to hear rocks crumbling as they notice Lamia's assistant Gerdal with a large hole in his chest... Forgive me Lady Lamia I have failed you...I've failed you says Gerdale as he collapses to the floor due to major blood loss. Ms.Kanna rushes to his aid but even the hole is was to deep for her to bandage up, D'marco then looks up towards the Jersey Devil and begins to think "They have have to do this, they cannot be allowed to fail". 

(Inside the Jersey Devil)
"Ha I told you it was pointless just give up and die demands Azazel yet again, "There is no way I'll lose to the likes of you explained Maiya as she began to crack a smile. However I'm surprised you haven't taken notice she said making him wonder what she was talking about,..You've been losing chi at a very fast rate.  Suddenly Azazel began to realize it was true which explained how Maiya has been able to land attacks on him now.  
"D..Damn you!! Shouts Azazel in frustration as he goes into a full on brutal attack on Maiya, however with Maiya's scream in pain Sokai wakes up. "YOU THINK YOUR BETTER THAN ME,YO THINK YOUR SMARTER, AND YOU THINK YOU CAN DEFEAT ME A NEW DEVIL GOD!, YOUR NOTHING BUT A WEAKLING RELYING ON AN ALIEN WARRIOR!! EXPLAINED Azazel over and over as he continued attack Maiya over and over. Sokai now stands on his own two feet noticing Maiya getting beaten into a wall inside the chamber, "Just one last time I need a little I just need a little chi thought" Sokai to him self barely able to open his right eye.  
"BLACK MIST: ERUPTION!!" Yells Sokai as a explosion is heard from behind Azazel and Maiya, breaking the last host free.
"What?!!" Wondered Azazel as he notices Sokai standing on his feet. "No!,No!,No!!Curse you Nevega yells Azazel. However Sokai could no longer bare standing as he began to fall face first to the floor..."The Rest is up to you Maiya..." he says losing consciousness once again. Maiya then rises back up once again behind a shocked Azazel, "How!, How is this possible what in the Hell are you questioned Azazel in a slight fear. "My name is Maiya Monkuri, Sakura Ino's Reincarnation and I'm going to protect this world with everything I have from scum like you!!" she says with a very determined look on her face. BLOOSH!! Maiya wasted no time going into a full on assault on the weakened Azazel, desperately he tried to fight back but it made no difference he has lost way to much power.
"I can't go... go out like this, no not like this thought Azazel.
"I'm Sorry but this is the end" says Maiya, as she began to gather all her remaining power for Technique to her right fist... "SAKURA STYLE: EARTH SHATTERING FIST STRIKE" shouts Maiya as she charges towards Azazel with a powerful blue aura warped around her fist. "Light of The Protecting" Shouts Azazel summoning a shield aroound him,... but its no match Maiya's Fist as she punches Azazel super hard "THIS IS THE END!! OF YOU" SHOUTS MAIYA.
Shattering the shield and Planting a huge hole in Azazel just like she did Hillex the Destroyer sending him blowing up in an explosion.... 

(Outside) 
The Jersey Devil stops charging his attack as is vanishes into the air along with D'marco's barrier. Suddenly the Mighty Jersey Devil Falls to his knees as blood began to leak from a hole in his side. Along with that blood that came flowing out were Maiya,Yun,Sokai, Bullet, Lamia, and Johakin Rolf's bodies falling down to through the peaceful air in the  high skies. Moments later The jersey Devil soon disappears without a trace, "What happened" asked Ayaka. 
Chimba could help but put on a smile "What do you think happened they succeeded in bringing that monster down shouts Chimba as a beautiful Sunrise began to appear. Ronin then walks up to his sister and tells her "Lets go, Its time to bring Yun home", as she proceeds in following after her brother.  Just before walking of with her brother Ayaka began to think to her self "Maybe, just maybe those Guardians are alright after all" she thought. 

Whoosh! As they all fall from the sky, Maiya began to hear Ino's voice saying "Well, Well look at you", however Maiya only had one thing to say..."I..I did it, I protected them" she says with no energy left. All the guardians could help but look up toward the guardians who stopped a Devil at such a young age, Gerdale couldn't help but smile at the scene.."They saved Lady Lamia" he thought to his self.
"Yamauchi himitsu gijutsu: Jōki jōki kumo " shout The siblings summoning a large steam cloud to appear and catch the falling guardians.
..At that moment Gerdale and D'marco felt The Jersey Devil's presence again! and at that very moment at the speed of light something comes and grabs Maiya's falling body and throws her to a temple on Thailand's coast Island. Crashing though the shrine Maiya screams in pain as shes unable to use her Sakura transformation landing hard in a open grass field. Ino then quickly takes notice and tells "Maiya to hang on I'll try give you some energy to heal your self". 
 Thoom! Azazel lands before Maiya in the grass field holding his side to keep his blood from spilling out. Just before Maiya begins to black out she shes the crystal blue shy as the Sun's rays began to stretch over the world with its warmth touch. Ino Calls out Maiya's name loudly over and over but its not enough to stop her from passing out as Azazel slowly makes his way towards her....
 
"Come child you've come to far to be beaten now.." says a powerful voice deep within Maiya, So strong that even could hear it. Maiya responds back by saying "But i don't have enough Chi to fight any longer". 
"My Child, you seem to have forgotten one key element said the manly voice, "I Have asked Maiya in a confused tone". 
"You see I've been keeping a close eye on you since you were born, and you have always amazed me" he explained. ""You've never given up on anything always striving to push forward no matter the outcome, and for that the gods have titled you a decedent of YIN - protector of all. Maiya was so shocked she had to ask really?, Indeed, now theirs a being who threatening to destroy this world and your not gonna let that happen are you asked the Voice.
No responded Maiya, However the voice wasn't convinced yet "Come Child like you mean it! demanded The Voice. 
"NO! I'm not going to allow him to do that shouts Maiya full of heart, "Good Now rise my child" demanded the Voice....

  Azazel begins to laughing as he watches Maiya laying helpless on the ground, Suddenly Maiya's eyes awakens as she then tries to struggle to stand back up. 
"How is this possible!, Why wont you die!, Just do us all a favor and Die!! yelled a very angry Azazel. 
"KYUKYOKU  NO HEBI NO DOKU NO BAKUDAN!"Azazel then put all he had left into one final attack, "You may have stolen most of my power away from from but that will not stop me from blowing you off the face of this planet" explained Azazel. As Maiya stood tall she began to face the suns warm rays, suddenly spheres of blue lights began to float around her body floating leading into the tress behind her. Light green fire flies fly up from the grass as both Maiya and Azazel notices something something believable...
 A large orange tiger comes from the the trees, Shocking them both...
"Where on earth did that thing come from" asked Azazel. The Tiger walked up towards Maiya and suddenly tells her "Let us Charge Forward descendant on YIN". The Suns rays shined strongly on the Tiger's fur reflecting a amazing orange and Yellow fur with its mighty black stripes.  
"Lets end this Maiya" Demanded the Tiger, "organisms of the earth hear my prayer, Lend me some of your power for a moment asked Maiya.
As the Tiger gazed upon  the decedent he thought to him self as he lets Maiya climb onto his back "That right My child in this world a decedent of hope is never alone". 
 As Maiya climbed onto his back the tiger caught a blaze like a fire spirit, then charged towards Azazel with full force leaving a trail of light patches along the grass as it ran.
"SAKURA STYLE!!!" yelled Maiya with heart as Earth's Nature energy fueled her fist.
No Not Again!! Yelled Azazel as he proceeded to firing his Bomb attack towards Maiya,  Maiya held her grip as her grew stronger and stronger with the sun's light ,and at full speed the Tiger launches towards the blast.... 
"BURNING EARTH SHATTERING...FIST STRIKE !!!!" Maiya Yelled with all her her heart as she punches into the Blast causing it to explode and flies straight towards Azazel untouched like a blazing storm. 
"THIS IS FOR ALL THOSE INNOCENT LIVES YOU TOOK FOR YOU SELFISH PLAN, THIS ATTACK IS THE PRAYER OF MANY AND WITH THIS LET THERE BE LIGHT!!" Demanded Maiya as she Punches him with so much impact he went like a bullet to the ground. The impact was so loud it sounded like a plane going into hyper speed or super sonic... Maiya then looks to the clear skies once again as she now faints falling from the sky. 
Floosh!! Out of no where Hankiro appears and catches his student, " W..Was that her Angel" wondered Hankiro as he was so amazed at what Maiya has accomplished she the day she first began a guardian. 
"That's Impressive for some one your age Maiya, you've done well you deserve a rest" says Hankiro as he carries Maiya on his back in a deep sleep. 

After the large impact D'marco then walks the site where Azazel crash landed, Azazel then slowly looks up towards D'marco. 
"I don't understand, how is she that strong theirs no way I could have failed" said Azazel with his dying breath. Skull then decided to walk over to D'marco as he watched Azazel lay in  into the ground. 
"What now lord Jace" asked Skull as he sees Azazel's body laying in the pit. 
"Nothing, we are done here, reclaim Sokai and Rin it's time we take our leave for now demanded D'marco(Jace) as he began to look towards the sun. 
As Skull took off to find Sokai and Rin, D'marco then called Behemoth to pick them up. 

  Hankiro then proceeds to laying down Rin's and Maiya's bodies along the soft grass to rest while he went to meet up with Ms.Kanna and the rest of the Guardians Of The Heaven Of Lightning. Cough, Cough Sokai begins to wake up , as he then look around he notices that the three host that Azazel had absorbed didn't survive after all. 
Filled with anger Ayaka shout "Who am I suppose to blame now , why is this happening to us" she said as she cried tears. The guardians all felt sorry for the great number of losses today, As Ms.Kanna stayed and sat along side Gerdale. 
"So I take it Lady Lamia..didn't survive after all" asks Gerdale.
"Afraid so, it would seem the ritual did more damage then we had originally thought" explained Ms.Kanna while Gerdale coughed heavily laying down on the destroy ground. 
Ms.Kanna then back to look towards the sun shining brightly in the skies, until she hears Gerdal say "Such a shame I had hoped to see that beautiful smile of hers 
 once more". Suddenly Gerdale began to remember the last time he actually seen Lamia smile...but that was all the way when her father and her were still alive many many years ago. 
 "Tell me gaurdian if any of would survive... asked Gerdale,  "We would have to put you down, the trouble and damage you all have caused here is unforgivable" explains Ms.Kanna in a very calm manner.  
 TCK! Well looks like you all..uhh fared decently says Hankiro as he lands suddenly around the other, CAPTIAN HANKIRO ICHIMARU!!! why are you all the way in Thailand of The Deadly Winds region asks Carla. Please spare me, I was just in neighborhood you should say since I returned earlier than expected  he explains putting a tooth pic back into his mouth.
"You should have reported in to lord Johakin once you returned says Ms.Kanna as he closes his eyes and shrugs his shoulders placing his hands into his pockets. 
"ehh Its no rush explains Hankiro, opening one eye to look down at Ms.Kanna sitting beside Gerdale.  "I'm not so sure I approve of your tone Captain Ichimaru I mean.. (Cough) former Captain responds Ms.Kanna. 
"Yea in your dreams Kanna" says Hankiro as he then begins to look at all the destruction that was caused. 

(Forest cave) 
 As the guardians continued to examine the situation, D'marco(Jace) and The Revolution were making their escape from the area. However once they came through the secret passage this time Jace decided it would be best to destroy it since the Heaven of Deadly winds was destroyed as well.  So once they came out by the forest they began to feel the suns light stretch over them ans the trees began to blow lighting the soft grass. 
"Yawn!... Finally time to go home, I'm so tired of looking at this place says the League as he follows behind D'marco. Suddenly at that moment as they look behind them Sokai and Rin are spotted walking up the hill to their position. 
"Well done Sokai" says D'marco, suddenly Rin then pushes Sokai aside and runs straight towards D'marco in tears. "O thank goodness you are unharmed Senpai I thought that Gerdale had squashed you when he transformed into that large snake..You had me So worried she said as she continued to cry tears of joy.  Sokai then noticed Skull was carrying Azazel's body upon his back, "What could you possibly need that monster for" asked Sokai. D'marco(Jace) then turns and looks towards Sokai as says "Dead or Alive his body is fused with the cells of the legendary Q, which makes his abilities still hold use to me plus he could be a step closer to finding the great Viper" he explains. 
(Cough! Cough!!) suddenly Azazel began to awake, Your all fools in the long run, this world has no future he says barely able to open his eyes. 
(Cough) Its only a matter of time before someone else tries to do the same thing and one day they will succeed without fail he explains while he still being carried among Skull's back. 
"What makes you so sure they will succeed" asks D'marco in a calm manner. "Because this person doesn't know how to give up or lose" responds Azazel as he turns his head towards his head towards the Young Nevega...Sokai and put on a evil smile as he passes away with his dying breath. 
....."Hmph what a weirdo" replies the league as he tosses his hoodie over his head and places his hands into his pockets as they continued to make their way to Behemoth for a ride. Suddenly Sokai stops and turns around to face the sun...
"Stay strong Maiya, Hankiro... I'll be back soon enough and then things will be different" says Sokai as he then turns back around and begins to re-follow after D'marco and The Revolution.

 As it seemed dreadful and full of sorrow in the air, Gerdale couldn't help but notice Ayaka crying her heart out over Yun's death as her brother held her shoulder to keep her strong.  Suddenly Gerdale asked for one last favor...
" I know I don't have the right but.. I do understand what it means to lose someone dearly to you. So maybe just this once allow me to do the right thing but I can't do it with out help" he explained to Ms.Kanna and Hankiro while Carla just sat around looking. Ms.Kanna then walked over to Yun's body while Hankiro walked up behind the Siblings in case they tried anything. 
"Souls of dead, lend me your assistance for a moment" asked Ms.Kanna spawning four skeletons to her side. The skeleton warriors then walk up and surround Yun's body..."What are you doing to the young lord's body! asked Ronin, Hankiro then tells him to "Remain calm everything is alright no harm shall come to his body I promise you". Shortly Yun's body is brought to Gerdale's location, "Why is he here wasn't he with those demons?" asked Ayaka.
"I understand you have every right to hate me but please allow me to do this, I was planning to use this for lady Lamia but with the last ritual I will die with it... "
"Ritual!, you and your stupid rituals are what got us in this situation" yells Ayaka in anger, Hankiro then tells  the siblings what he told them a few moments ago...
"Gerdale understands your loss because he feels the same about Lamia, however Lamia is out of his reach and since he he dying as well he would like to to give Yun the rest of his life force so that way he can go to where Lamia and her father have gone.." explained Hankiro shocking the siblings.
"But why would he do that for us" asked Ronin, (Cough) "because in the end were all the same  even though we may all  look different with separate beliefs , but only theirs only one way to fix that is by rising together for hope.." explains Gerdal.  
"And I truly believe from what I witnessed today it may one day be possible for Demons and Guardians to work side by side he says as he puts a smile looking towards the clouds in the crystal blue sky...
 After the ritual was performed Gerdale died with with a smile on his face, as Yun's body regained life glowing with green energy. However with this ritual Yun had been changes he grew taller and now has the ability to see out of his own two eyes with a slight increasment in power as he floats a few inches above the ground. Once Yun landed on the ground he was quickly embraced by Ayaka as she cried tears onto her friend who was lost. Hankiro then began to look towards Maiya's location and see's Bullet, Chimba, and Carla all hanging around Maiya resting on the peaceful grass while the swift breeze blows over the land... 

Hankiro was indeed wordless for the moment so him and Ms.Kanna just face towards the bright warm sun. 

Couple Days Later 
(Heaven Of Lightning: Johakin Quarters/Japan)
 "I'm Sorry that happened to you young lord, however I hear that over the past few day that The Heaven Of Deadly Winds will be relocated and rebuild along with a new Johakin to take charge for a while" explains Terrance Alexander.  
"That's Correct responds The Young Lord, I've decided the throne isn't for me, I'm meant to be on on the front line protecting those who need me the most he continued. Even if everyone in the remaining Heaven Of Deadly Winds may disagree I am still the son of Elder God Zion and this is my decision. From today onward you can consider me and the Yamauchi Siblings allies, that is why I'm here to thank you replied the young lord till someone began to knock on the door. 
"KNOCK,KNOCK", Come in responds Terrance Alexander and to their surprise it no other than Ms.Kanna... 

(Heaven Of Lightning: Hospital Wing) 
Sitting in the hospital room awaits Chimba, Bullet and Hankiro Ichimaru. Suddenly they began to hear the nurses and and doctors all go into a silence as they began to hear foot steps coming up the halls. As they sat in the room, Chimba began to see three shadows approaching the rooms door handle... suddenly opening the door. In a matter of moment Chimba was immediately surprised to see  it was Yun, Ronin and Ayaka...wow you three in the Heaven of Lightning, you must didn't get enough of me last time asks Chimba. 
"Its good to see your all well, however no that is not why I'm here" explained Yun putting a confused look on to their faces. "I'm here to thank you all for saving me and most of my people along with Ronin and Ayaka. "I Only wish I could repay you back but i'm afraid I don't have much to offer you since I wont be the new Johakin. 
"But aren't you the grandson of Zion!" asked Hankiro, "Indeed but in my current state i'm unfit to lead so I registered to become a student of a guardian captain at the New Heaven of Deadly Winds along with these two after all they are the only real friends I've ever had explains Yun till he is interrupted..
"That's Not True" says Maiya as she awakens laying on the hospital bed, "You've got a friend in me  responds Maiya with her barely able to move at the moment covered in bandages. However surprisingly Maiya slowly reaches her hand out towards Yun, "I'll look forward to the day we fight together on the same team once again she says struggling to smile stunning everyone in the room. Suddenly Ronin comes out of no where and says "It's time to go we came and said what we had to now it's time to head back as he began to head out the room. Ayaka then proceeds to following after her brother slightly looking at chimba as she walked past him heading out the room. Yun then begins to turn and follow after his friends... Maiya then began to close her eyes as she struggled to hold her arm out  but suddenly when she awakens her eyes, Yun was indeed shaking her hand. 
"Sure thing Ms.Monkuri, now your rest easy FRIEND" responds Yun with a slight smile on his face. Maiya then falls back asleep as Yun and the siblings took their leave heading back home to the New Heaven Of Deadly Winds, while the sun shine brightly in the skies into the hospital......

(Days Later)
" My Name is Maiya Monkuri, a young female who was dragged into this world of fantasy. I'm not as smart as everyone and I'm not weapon of destruction" explains Maiya Monkuri standing on the Hospital Wings building in the heaven of Lightning along side Carla,Hankiro, and Ms.Kanna.
 "But I believe I'm doing the right thing, even tho the times may be hard on me".
"But as long as I'm able to protect those who I love, I'll endure as much as I need to".
"Because I.. am the REINCARNATION OF THE SAKURA NAMED INO, and I'm also GUARDIAN OF THE HEAVEN OF LIGHTNING.... and my journey...
