The Will of Fire

26...Showdown! King Battle Royale

The sky was black. Stars glistened. King Tskune, Blades of Jade clutched in his hands, stood across from Kang, Adamantine Nunchaku clutched in his. Kokoro and Orihime, still unconscious. Kuan had floated on a misty green dragon created by his magic and landed on the rooftop.
"Kuan, you fool. Stand back and watch me do what you failed and these pathetic women failed to." Kang said.
A pink fiery energy steamed from Kang. His face slimmed became fuller and younger in an instant. His hair spiked up and muscles grew more toned.
"What the devil!?" King Tskune shouted.
Kang laughed maniacally.
A single eye of Jin'ichi's appeared from one of the jade blades.
"Could it be?..." Jin'ichi thought to himself.
"Your eyes are not deceiving you, Tskune." Kang laughed.
"Great job, King Kang" Kuan said, smiling evilly. "My elixir has taken its course. Magnificent."
"How can this be...How can you look as you did twenty years ago!?" Tskune shouted.

"Kuan created a concoction. An elixer. A potion that allows me to reverse my age and regain youth!" Kang shouted.
"This pink energy...my eyes have never seen it!" King Tskune shouted.
"This energy is known as Akuma's Halo. (Akuma meaning Demon in Japanese) This was given to me by Kuan's magic as well. Kuan may not be a great combatant. But he is for sure the best sorcerer in the world!" Kang laughed.
"My lord. He will battle you with acute speed, strength and reflexes that he once had in his youth. Are you ready?" Jin'ichi asked.
"I am beyond it." King Tskune responded.
The Power Energy from both kings were massive. So massive that the roof began to crack under their feet and the air around them became heavy with it. Lightning flickered around King Tskune, as the pink energy known as Akuma's Halo floated around Kang.
"This energy bears down on me. Incredible." Kuan said.
"It's time this feud is put to the end, Kang Lan Di." King Tskune said sternly.
"Agreed, Tskune Asayama." Kang replied.
Quickly, the two took off running at eachother, breaking the tile of the roof beneath them with the takeoff. King Tskune and Kang collided, weapons smacking against eachother. With every swing from the jade blades, Kang clashed against them with his Nunchaku. Kang quickly jumped backwards in the air and came flying at King Tskune. Quickly, King Tskune threw one blade on the chain, sending it soaring straight at Kang. In midair, Kang leaned backwards, dodging. The jade blade missed him by an inch. King Tskune threw the other blade, piercing the front of Kang's shoulder.
"Get over here!" King Tskune shouted, snatching the chain back, pulling Kang towards him.
King Tskune brought the other blade back to him and prepared it to strike. Kang snatched the blade out if his shoulder, becoming free.
"Smart move. But I know you're hurting, Kang." Said King Tskune.
Kang held his  bleeding shoulder, laughing evilly.
King Tskune swung both blades. One curved to the right as the other curved to the left. He began to swing them close to close in on Kang. Kang covered his Nunchaku in the pink energy and smacked one blade with them while he spun, dodging the other. The chain from the blade that missed Kang had wrapped around Kang to his surprise. The blade Kang smacked with his Nunchaku was stuck in the rooftop. King Tskune quickly snatched it out by tugging that end of the chain and the blade went in the air. He then flung his arm down, swinging the chain downward with the blade, make it fly at Kang from above. Suddenly, the blade was blown  away.
"What the hell!?" King Tskune shouted.
Orihime stood in front of Kang with Kokoro.
"Those two are up again? How?" Jin'ichi asked.
Kang covered them in pink energy, and once it faded, their injuries had faded. Kang healed his shoulder, laughing evilly.
"Impossible...he..he healed them and his self." King Tskune said.
"You see? I was given sorcerer like abilities once I drank the elixir. I can heal and reverse age. The Elixir of Youth and Regeneration is responsible. You will die here, fool." Kang said.
Kokoro threw her Tessen at King Tskune, slicing his face. Orihime rushed forward, delivering an abundance of Airpalms to King Tskune's face.
"Hard to breathe!" He thought to himself.
Kokoro sweep kicked King Tskune off of his feet, while Orihime blasted wind at King Tskune. The wind covered him, levitating him in the air. Orihime, using her hand swiped upward, lifting him. Kokoro tossed both Tessen at him. The tessen flew around him cutting him as the wind carried him. Orihime then moved both hands around wildly, shaking King Tskune around in the air before she slammed him hard to the ground.
"He's mine!" Kang shouted, running over.
He began stomping King Tskune in the face.
"What's wrong, Tskune!? Down for the count, already!?"
"Come on, king!" Jin'ichi said. "I know you're not going down like this!"
Kicks were now being thrown at King Tskune's stomach.
"Kang..." He thought to himself.
"KANG, YOU'RE A FOOL!" He shouted.
Lightning struck Kang from above. King Tskune kicked Kang in the chin while grounded. He popped up and grabbed Kang by the neck and threw him far away. Kokoro and Orihime rushed forward. King Tskune grabbed them both and shocked them with lightning. They both fell to the ground, unconscious. Kang ran in, swinging his Nunchaku. King Tskune was hit in the head, but quickly countered by slicing Kang in the side with one of the jade blades.
"I'll end you here!" Kang shouted.
Kang began punching Tskune with his fists covered in the pink energy. Every punch hit King Tskune's face. Suddenly, King Tskune engulfed his fist in lightning in the midst of Kang's assault.
"Shock Fist!" He shouted
His fist went directly through Kang's chest. Everything went silent. Jin'ichi returned back to his regular state. Collapsing to the ground, completely exhausted. Blood spat out of Kang's mouth and onto King Tskune's arm as it still was plunged into his chest.
"Tsku...Tskune, you..." Kang struggled to speak.
Kuan ran forward with his hands glowing a misty green.
"Demonic Rebellion!" He shouted.
He placed both hands on King Tskune's arms. King Tskune immediately took his hand out from Kang's chest and shouted in pain.
"My arms! They're burning!" King Tskune yelled.
The skin from King Tskune's arms began to peel, revealing muscles.
Suddenly, Kokoro awakened. She stood from the ground, slightly burned from the lightning. She began running at them all with a closed Tessen.
"Die!" She screamed.
Blood shot in the air. The sound of torn flesh filled the air. King Tskune looked down and saw the closed Tessen protruding from his stomach. He was stabbed in his back by Kokoro. Kuan let go of his arms and stared in disbelief.
"I...I can't believe that this is how this ends." King Tskune said.
Kokoro took her Tessen from his body, and watched him fall to the ground.
"My lord!" Jin'ichi shouted, laying exhausted on the ground.
Kuan covered Orihime in a green smoke, fading her away into the air. He then knelt down beside Kang with Kokoro.
"We leave at once. Back to China!" Kuan said. Kuan released a green smoke into the air. The smoke traveled to Taina and Sayyora. Makaio. Léon and Goldee. Kîn. Anaki, Shuji and Alisa, who were engulfed by the smoke and taken away dropping Jared. It reached Ryo, who was taken away from his battle with Koshinmaru, Iwabe and Sarai. Hawk was taken away by the smoke as he walked the streets of Kujaku. And lastly, Kushina And Taka. They all were brought to the rooftop. Kuan couldn't believe his eyes. Ryo, Hawk, Makaio, Léon, Goldee, Anaki, Shuji and Alisa were the only conscious warriors. Though, Makaio was laid out on his back and couldn't move due to the paralyzing bullet he was shot with by The Kill Squad. Taina, Sayyora, Kushina and Taka were on the brink of death. They all looked at Kang with eyes wide.
"Father!?" Ryo shouted, running over to him.
"We have to get him back to China, fast. Apparently everyone needs some recovery and relaxation." Kokoro said.
"Everyone still seems to be alive. Their wounds will be hard to heal, especially Sayyora without her leg. We leave at once!" Kuan said. Green misty smoke surrounded them all, and carried them away. King Kang laid on the rooftop, bleeding out. He reminisced about his life. He thought Orihime. Teikuya. Kokoro. Kushina. Japan as a whole. Jin'ichi struggled to stand to his feet. He hobbled over to King Tskune.
"I'm sorry...my lord." Jin'ichi said, tears falling from his eyes.
"You fought valiantly, Jin'ichi. As did I" King Tskune said as blood poured from his mouth. "Three last things...my final commands to you...Take care of Teikuya. Bring Kushina and Kokoro back to the light. And lastly...do not let my country succumb to China."
Jin'ichi squeezed King Tskune's hand.
"As always, your wish is my command, my lord." he responded.
Jin'ichi cowered over King Tskune, weeping as the king took his last and final breath.
