As Jiro stands tall in front of Ketsueki, Taka down, and Jiros friends caught up in the explosion, the final fight seems to be beginning.

JIRO: *huff* so, it's just us, eh?

KETSUEKI: Listen kid. This doesn't have to end with you dying. Tell me where that girl hid the stone. Your friends are dead. And you stand no chance. Just give up!

JIRO: Ha Ha! *coughs blood* (I didn't think falling into water would be as bad as this, but it was fast). Listen. I can defeat you.

KETSUEKI: Huh? Me! You sure you got the right person?

JIRO: *gets into fighting stance* Come at me.

KETSUEKI: *runs fast towards Jiro* CLAW BARRAGE!

Ketsueki slams Jiro with multiple claw attacks from point blank.

JIRO: GAHHHH!

KETSUEKI: NOW FLY! *Punches Jiro*

JIRO: *coughs out blood and flies back*

KETSUEKI: I told you already kid. You don't stand a chance! What's the point of fighting me! There's no hope for you left. Let's make that clear.

JIRO: *hits the ground* Oh.....oh man I'm screwed this time. Huffff.*sits up*

COYOTE: (What can you do, think)

JIRO: *smiles* I think were done for this time.

COYOTE: (What? Don't you dare give up!)

JIRO: But I must. Let's just try to give him our all. Shall we?

COYOTE: (dont you even think of using that move! It uses all your energy. You'll die in this state!)

JIRO: *stands up*

KETSUEKI: Gah! This kid gives me too much trouble!

EAGLE: (Ketsueki! You need to just keep him barely alive. We need that gem!)

KETSUEKI: Damn it your right! I'll take his limbs off! *starts running towards Jiro* I TOLD YOU IM DONE WITH YOU YA BRATTTT!

JIRO: *Makes fists with hands*

FLASHBACK

TEACHER: And, the brave knight slashed the dragon and saved the princess! The end!

4 year old JIRO: Wow! So teacher teacher I have a question!

TEACHER: Yes jiro!

JIRO: What makes the knight brave?

TEACHER: Well, standing up to fear makes bravery little Jiro. Also, it makes them a hero!

JIRO: A hero? Like Superman or Batman!

TEACHER: Yes!

JIRO: Wowwwww! I wanna be a hero one day too!

PRESENT TIME

KETSUEKI: *rushing Jiro*

JIRO: What is this? This....feeling?

KETSUEKI: *jumps above Jiro* TALON SMASH!!

Ketsueki tries to cut Jiros left arm off with A spirit talon of eagles

JIRO: *moves right and dodges*

KETSUEKI: HUH?

JIRO: I need, to set this attack up. Now. *steps far back*

KETSUEKI: This kids up to something!

JIRO: *tear falls down* I'm sorry...Sensei, Shurui, Ashi. And mom. I couldn't make it out alive, could I?

KETSUEKI: Im gonna go all out on this one. He's pissing me off!

JIRO: We've been on this journey to save a friend, we made one on the way. But I lost them all. All of them. *draws circle in snow around him*

COYOTE: (You can't be serious! Don't do it! I'll leave with you!)

JIRO: You can find a better user, Coyote. I could've been better. But we did alright. Like the fight against Yoru. Or against Ashi. But it's okay.

COYOTE: (NO)

JIRO: *punches fists together* This...is gonna do it.

KETSUEKI: Is this kid...is he crazy or stupid! He's going for a suicide blow! The energy suppoku!

FLASHBACK

JIRO: Wait, So your tellin me, that this "attack" will kill you and anyone within a range of a 30 meter radius?

HOKKY: The radius depends upon the spirit. But with you it'd be around 25 meters at max I guess.

JIRO: Why're you telling me this Sensei Hokky?

HOKKY: In any case we fight a strong opponent, we never know what extremes we'll reach. Not many know of this. But you must learn it, it includes using a circle made of any Nature type substance, snow, water, dirt, sand, etc. and you put your fists together, releasing all your inner energy. That will make a huge explosion within the radius your energy can reach.

PRESENT

JIRO: My inner energy.......

KETSUEKI: I WONT LET YOU! ITS GONNA FINISH US!

JIRO: *breathes* Thank you, all. *punches fists* AHHHHHHHH!! RELEASSEEEEEE!

KETSUEKI: NOOOO-

BOOM! A huge burst of energy released within 23 meters, green light was flashing everywhere.

JIRO: GAHHHHH!!!

KETSUEKI: DAMNNNNN IT!!!!

............

.............

.............

After a minute, both were laying. The light clears.

JIRO: .........*opens eyes barely* what? I'm... awake?

KETSUEKI: *blood drops on Jiros face* You....you damn near killed me...didn't you?

JIRO: WHAT! but...but.....how?

KETSUEKI: Dont worry about that now...I'm alive. And your gonna die. (I don't even know how I'm okay) POINT BLANK SLA-

ZOOOOM!!! Something interrupted them

KETSUEKI: WHAT WAS THA-

???: *bites off Ketsuekis arm*

KETSUEKI: Dont tell me, that bastard Hokky's alive....

COYOTE: *spits out arm*

KETSUEKI: WHAT!

JIRO: Heh heh...he has his own mind...

KETSUEKI: THE KID JUST NOW LEARNED TO SUMMON!?

COYOTE: *To Jiro* Your crazy kid...that's why I like you. This is it. Let's finish this.
