Previously on Seven Rings of Hell... We lost Kimura to the darkness in his heart... And now, the odds are bleak of his defeat, is there anyone that can stop him? Only the Phoenix can rise from the embers... But we'll see...
{It goes to Sendou's POV}
Sendou: So... This is the Sin City...
{He says as he looks over a horizon of souls gambling their lives away in a casino land}
Sendou: I don't know why but... (His heart beats faster as he looks at the money raining from the jackpot) I feel the rush in my blood... (He pulls himself back , calming his heart)
{But as Sendou's heart palpates, a slot machine raises next to him}
Sendou: What the... (His feet move on their own) I want it... (He looks into the machine and sees a sign)
{The sign reads "Win a jackpot of anything your soul desires, power, fame, money, everything..." But in a huge font it reads "At the cost of your soul"}
Sendou: I want it... (His eyes dilate as he ignores the clear warnings) I- (as his hand is about to touch it) No!! (He snaps out it) Never again...
???: Don't count your chickens before they hatch...
{The machine says as it turns into a genie like being}
Sendou: Who are you?
WoG: I'm the Warlord of this land. The one place in the world where anything can happen with a little luck... And a whole lot of spirit! (He says in a persuasive way but his words are laced with malicious intent) So boy... What are you feeling lucky? (He shines a dark green smile)
{In Sendou's eyes sees his smile and only bad memories rise up}
Sendou: Uh... Uh... {His heart beats faster and faster as his hand reaches out once again) [Ever since Ichiro... I've hungered for strength... But not like this... But...] (His thoughts conflict with each other as he's taking one step forward and 2 steps back)
WoG: Come on Boy... Surrender to the slots, test your luck. Sell your soul to me... (His voice is ringing through Sendou's ears)
Sendou: No! (He blinks and his dark blue flames ignite) I'm never gonna take the easy way out!
{As Sendou stops his contradicting and plants his feet in his iconic stance}
WoG: So you're resisting? Boy... (As his body morphs into a much larger bulkier demon) You can't stop the inevitable. Your soul... Will be mine. (He says his voice turns deeper and deeper as his shadow surrounds Sendou)
Sendou: What's inevitable, is me taking your Ring! (His aura brightening ground around him) You demons love doing a lot of talking. But I know it's all bark. (He confidently says)
WoG: Fine... Then come at me... Show me what you got!
Sendou: (takes one big breath) [I've been through a lot of battles...] (As every single fight he's had flows past him) [Now it's time to put everything I've learnt...] (As he exhales he opens his eyes and is filled with dark blue conviction) [Into defeating him!]
{Sendou in full sprint dashes towards the Warlord}
WoG: [He's fast!] (As Sendou jumps in with a superman punch) [I don't have enough time to dodge!]
{The Superman punch connects cleanly as the impact vibrates all across the Warlord's body}
WoG: Your strong... (As he relocates his jaw) But... (He smiles minically) That just won't cut it.
Sendou: [What is this bull shit? I literally dislocated his jaw, was that just for dramatic effect or what?!] (He thinks full of anger) [No... Calm down... If the first strategy doesn't work...] (As he smiles dropping his hands low and bounces back and forth)
{Sendou now adopts a freeform out boxing stance}
WoG: Your already changing stances?
Sendou: Don't worry... I'm gonna show you what a lifetime of boxing looks like! (With perfect footwork he circles the Warlord) [And most important punch in boxing.] (He throws a barrage of jabs)
{The jabs are thrown so fast it looks like Sendou's arms aren't even moving}
WoG: [What is this?] (As he tries to block his head) [These jabs are aiming straight for my vitals!]
{The Warlord clenches his guard so tight he can't even see out of it}
Sendou: [Good, I got him turtling up. Now... Time to switch it up!] (As the jabs changes to uppercuts and hooks) [Hein Zuki!!]
WoG: [What the?!] (As somehow the punches are slipping through the gaps in his guard) [I can't keep up my tough guy act for long... I have to guard tighter!!] (He puts his head in his shoulders with his arms desperately covering his head)
Sendou: [Just as planned. All my out boxing opponents used this against me and it worked every single time.] (As Sendou sees himself in the Warlord's position) [And when I was pinned against a wall I-] (he dodges to the right)
{The Warlord threw a punch out of desperation}
Sendou: [Exactly! Just throwing something with hope it could end the fight, but the fights just begun!] (As he drills his first body blow)
{Sendou's fast jabs now become powerful liver blows}
WoG: Gah!! (Blood shoots out of his mouth) [He's ripping my insides apart! And...] (As the dark blue flames remain across his body) [His flames are too powerful to recover from. Which is why I can't let him get my head, or else...] (As he keeps his guard tight)
Sendou: [So your gonna be stubborn? Those jabs were just light taps but these...] (As he's laying into his ribs as they shatter bit by bit) [Are my real punches!]
{As internally the Warlord's ribs are piercing his organs}
WoG: [I have to, I gotta- ] (as he drops his guard to block his body) [Block my body!!]
Sendou: [About time!] (He steps in and had his right drive straight to the Warlord) [Souten Dageki!!]
{The right overhead connects and it was so powerful it shook the ground itself}
WoG: [Just when I... Drop my guard he'll pull this... Noted...] (His jaw may be shattered but his eyes are still unfazed)
Sendou: [Itadori taught me that one...] (As he remembers his spars with Itadori) [And this...] (He twists his body and right hand by 90°)
WoG: [That same right overhead, I've seen it before. I'll block it this time.] (He thinks as he perfectly guards his temple and chin)
Sendou: [I learnt from the champion before me!] (As all his muscles of arm to toe twist)
{The motion is so powerful it forms a spiral around his fist}
WoG: [This is definitely a big one he'll be left open after it, I'll land a good and...] (As a faint grin crosses his face through his guard) [Boy... It's check mate...]
Sendou: [Shokuzai no Kobushi!!] (The punch connects sending a giant shockwave out of the Warlord's back)
WoG: [He missed his biggest punch? What a loser, look at him... Free pickings-] (as he tries to move)
{But the Warlord can't move an inch}
Sendou: [That's a corkscrew, a very deadly head shot finisher, but in the right hands...] (As it shows Sendou's fist on the Warlord's chest) [It can freeze the opponent in time.] (As it shows the Warlord's heart spasming)
WoG: [What now?! I can't let it end like this!] (His eyes begin to shake as he looks at Sendou) [Not by the hands of his descendant!] (As he sees behind Sendou Marco and all the previous hold of the blue flames)
{With swift footwork Sendou shifts to a Southpaw stance}
Sendou: [Now it's time for the big finish!] (As he bounces up with a lead handed smash uppercut)
[Tenha-sho!!] (As his right fist rises from the ground up to the gap in the Warlord's guard)
{The Smash connects blow the Warlord's guard and head back}
Sendou: [And that is the punch that KO'd all of those opponents!] (As his right hand is still pointing up to the skies)
{The Warlord hutches his body his jaw hanging dripping blood}
WoG: I... Will... Not... Let it... All go to waste! (He mumbles through his unhinged jaw) [I can't go back to reality... I can't! I chose this life... To escape it all, find a high that could numb the pain that I'm all alone...] (Tears falls from his eyes as he clenches his fist with his Ring on it) [If that's the case...] (He releases his dark green aura)
{The Warlord returns to his genie state}
Sendou: You still want seconds? (He taunts)
WoG: We're done playing your games... Now it's my turn! (He snaps his fingers and the land distorts to the Warlord's whim)
Sendou: [What now? Yet another plot twist?] (He once again is frustrated) Well, if your gonna go all out so am I! (He releases his dark blue flames)
{The flames coat Sendou's arms in flaming feathers}
WoG: You don't understand... Here... I make the rules. (He snaps his fingers and a 100 souls stand behind him) To the soul who brings me his head, will receive the largest jackpot! (He slowly points his finger at Sendou)
{The souls all rush towards Sendou}
Sendou: [I have to be on my toes!] (He keeps his hands high)
{The souls surround Sendou}
Sendou: [Okay, just like normal I have to use my jab to keep them at bay.] (He fires fast blazing jabs)
{He tries to jab the souls but they all dodge the jabs with no reaction}
WoG: That same tactic won't work... As soon as I see it, I can make these souls adapt. Boy... (As he holds a king and a queen card) This is a royal flush!
Sendou: [Shit, I can't use my basics!] (As he's struggling to keep them off) [I have to use the big guns.] (He crouches as he crosses his arms) [Seien Bakuhatsu!!] (He releases a giant flaming blast that knocks the souls back) Is that all you've got?
{Sendou even though slightly injured still has undying determination}
WoG: Nice... But what are you gonna about this? (He snaps his fingers once again and more souls march towards Sendou) My Ring let's me make anything my heart desires, and if I want an army that adapts to your every move , I can make it! (He laughs minically)
Sendou: [What the fuck? Am I fighting a infinite level on a game or something?!] (As he's can barely catches breath as he dodging the souls attacks)
{The souls attacks slowly start to connect as they adapt to his dodges}
Sendou: [There even reading my movement. I have to use it again!] (He repeats the explosion from before)
{But the souls aren't even phased by it}
Sendou: Oh shit!! (He realizes as one soul grabs the collar of his shirt) Get off me!! (He spins as he jumps into the air)
{As Sendou jumps his arms turn into the wings of a Phoenix}
Sendou: [Kuchu Rinka!!] (He flaps his wings)
{As Sendou flaps his wings thousands of flaming feathers rain down wiping out the souls once more}
WoG: Aren't you getting tired of fighting the inevitable? I told you... I can keep making more, each stronger than the last... Do you think this is a bet you can win? (He stares at Sendou and smiles) You know... I can spare you the torture... I can give you everything your heart desires... If you just sell your soul to me.
{The Warlord's words once again ring in Sendou's head and his heart starts racing}
Sendou: [I'm running out of options... And strength to keep fighting...] (He's breathing becomes heavy as he faces the next horde of souls rush to him)
Fine... I'll accept your deal...
It goes to black...
