Rengoku Vs Akaza Location the Demon Slayer-verse, Japan-Mugen Train-wreck Site
Rengoku stood strong and ready. As Akaza, was smiling at the Flame Hashira. They're about to start fighting, unknowingly that their being watched, by Laharl, Ranma, and a couple of friends. Akaza got into his martial art stance, the Soryu Style, which is shown by spreading ones' lightly, bended legs, having one arm folded over the ribs, while the other arm, extended with the palm open. A style purely meant for aggressive offensive. Not only that as Akaza, took his soryu stance, he also activated his unique Blood Demon Art; Destructive Death. Manifesting like a snowflake shaped, blue colored compass with Akaza at the center. This blood demon art that maximizes and empowers his martial art capabilities. Before they fought, Akaza asked for the hashira's name. Rengoku smiled, and introduced himself with great passion. And at that moment Rengoku rushed in. Which Akaza already knew the hashira, would do this. Using his passive technique, Compass Needle. Allowing Akaza to track the fighting spirit of his opponent. So with ease, Akaza blocked and struck back at Rengoku, as fist and steel start clashing. Tanjiro and Inosuke were dumbstruck. Seeing the power of a hashira, right before their eyes. Inosuke, he had a idea to join in the fight before, but both his body and instincts were screaming at him, that he'll die. He can't help in this fight, only being a nuisance if he jumps in. So instead he stayed beside Tanjiro, protecting his friend. As Rengoku and Akaza clashed. Akaza commented that in all his years, he hasn't killed a flame hashira. Nor has anyone accepted, his offer. The offer being to become a demon, Akaza, he even offered this Rengoku, who in turn refused immediately. Rengoku blocked another of Akaza's punches, cutting deeply into the Upper Rank's right wrist. Akaza then spoke his honest opinion. Not understanding why martial artists, refuse to become immortal and constantly grow stronger. After saying that, Akaza went for a hand-thrust to Rengoku's head. Which Rengoku countered, by cutting off that very hand, that was about to stab him. Rengoku went for another fiery slash, which Akaza dodge by leaping back into the air. Then using one of this technique, saying, "Destructive Death: Air Type." punching the air. Sending out a shockwave, air projectile from his punch. Hitting guard against Rengoku, as he grunted in pain. Meanwhile Issei watching, "ohhhed" out loud. Stating that, that blow must have hurt. The others agreed, with Ranma watching seriously the fight, Laharl and Issei could tell. That their martial artist friend, was very interested in that move that Akaza, just used. Laharl, commented that with a bit of wind and strengthening magic, used with his fighting skill, Ranma could replicate that move. At that moment, Akaza "fired" two move Air Type attacks, at Rengoku. Only this time, Rengoku was able to guard himself better. The hashira, was quickly thinking on a way to fight back, against the Upper Rank. That's when Akaza became more aggressive in his attack. Unleashing a flurry of Air Type, at Rengoku who counted using one of his technique against the Air Type barrage. Taking a quick breathe, manifesting flames from his sword, Rengoku spoke his technique out loud, "Flame Breathing; Fourth Form: Booming Flame Undulation!" slashing his sword in a circular pattern, creating a shield of flames. Literally burning away, all of Akaza's Air Type punches. While this happened, Rias was awe-struck, watching such a epic anime fight, in real life!! If not because cheering, and squealing would draw attention to her, and her fellow devil. And in turn, ruin the fight, she fought the edge to geek out. Back with Ranma, he is thinking of ways to replicate that Air Type technique, using Laharl's suggestion, as baseline. Then Issei came up, with a great idea. Saying that if Ranma-senpai, master the Air Type, he should use it with his Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken. Everyone turned to the Red Emperor, in bewildered shock. He came up with a awesome idea, even Gyutaro was impressed. As Air Type is the perfect technique, to combine with the Kachū Tenshin Amaguriken. Ranma chuckled, as he thanks his friends for the ideas. Back to the fight, Akaza landed. After his last wave of air punches, were blocked again by Rengoku's Booming Flame Undulation. Finally Rengoku was the aggressor in this battle. Blasting forward, leaving a trail of flames, as he slashed at Akaza again. As another clash of fists and blade happened. Tanjiro and Inosuke were actually thinking of joining the fight, only to be reprimanded by Rengoku. Stating that Tanjiro can't risk re-opening his wound, or it'll kill him. So both young demon slayers, were forced to stay and watch as the fight progressed. This action enraged Akaza, that demanded that Rengoku kept his focus on him and their fight. In response, Rengoku charged again, managing to land a hit, that knock the Upper Rank into the forest next to the wreck-site. Rengoku gave using chase to his enemy. At that moment. From where Gyutaro, and the devils were watching this fight. A blue devil crest, glowed beside them. This sigil being that of the Sitri House. Meaning Sona arrive. Appearing on top of the teleportation circle, was a petite, short black haired, glasses wearing young woman, Sona Sitri. And beside her was a long, yellow-haired, lovely looking, short nun, Asia Argeno. Sona and Asia were happy to see Laharl, walking over to their boyfriend and giving a kiss. As they stayed, watching as a yellow and red-tipped haired man, with a white and flame patterned edge haori. Get blasted out the forest, and crash against a train cart. As Akaza came out the forest, once again pleading with Rengoku to become a demon. Which Rengoku refused again!! The hashira launched forwards. Delivering a downward, heavy, fire bursting slash on Akaza. This being the Flame Breathing; Third Form; Blazing Universe. Akaza dodged, complimenting the technique. They're battle was getting more and more, fearsome and brutal, as soon the turning point is gonna happen...
CONCLUSION OF THE FIGHT
-
Akaza looked at the bloodied Rengoku, with a expression of disappointment. After their intense clash. He broke Rengoku's ribs, and destroyed his right eye. Before the breaking the ribs, Rengoku used a impressive technique, called Flame Breathing; Fifth Form, Flame Tiger. Blasting a literal fire tiger. As Rengoku relentlessly attacked, with his flame covered sword. But in the end, Akaza survived and healed from all of Rengoku's attacks. Akaza, he really wants Rengoku to become a demon, so they can fight each other forever. But Rengoku still stood. Panting and clearly reaching his limits... When Akaza saw Rengoku's fighting spirit, explode in power and intensity. Exciting the fighting demon. As Rengoku stated to set his "heart on blaze", pushing beyond his limits. Literally. Igniting his entire body on flames, increasing all his physical abilities. Taking a high stance, smiling as he's yet to give up. Determined to behead Akaza. Saying, "Set your heart ablaze! Go beyond your limits! I am the Flame Hashira, Kyojuro Rengoku! Esoteric Art. Flame Breathing; Ninth Form, Rengoku!!" Akaza was excited, eager to take on Rengoku's incoming technique. At that moment, Laharl looked at Ranma then at Asia. Since the end of this fight, it's about to happen. As Rengoku blasted forwards, in high-speed, releasing massive amounts of flames. Charging straight towards his target, Akaza. Akaza prepared himself, as a giant eastern style dragon of flames, clashed against him. Using the Destructive Death: Annihilation Type. One of Akaza's most powerful techniques. Akaza he crouched down, with both his arms at the side of his body poised to strike. He then lunges forward, creating two powerful circular shockwaves from the palms, striking directly at the flame dragon of Rengoku's attack. As the flame hashira, unleashed a massive fiery tornado that consumes the entire area. Surrounding him and Akaza. Rengoku slashes down, for Akaza to redirect the slash. So in response, Rengoku turned his blade, slashing upward. Causing a second fiery tornado, with a powerful burst of flames. As this battle, has conclude...
MASSIVE PLOT BREAK
-
As the view became obscured for Inosuke and Tanjiro. They'd hoped that Rengoku won. Only for their hopes to be crushed, as Akaza has his arm, pierced through Rengoku's stomach. A fatal wound. As Akaza pleads to Rengoku to become a demon, so he can heal his wound and survive. In response to Akaza's shock, Rengoku slashed his sword. Cutting into his neck, Akaza tried to punch with his other arm to save himself. But once again, Rengoku shocked him. By catching his arm, and holding in place. As Rengoku was determined to behead Akaza. At that moment Akaza, noticed that the Sun was rising. Panicked, he desperately wants to run, no longer caring to convince Rengoku or save him. But Rengoku using all his strength to not only hold Akaza in place, but also cut off his head. Akaza demanded Rengoku to let him go. But Rengoku remained firm. At that moment Tanjiro got up, going after his lost sword. As this was the only chance to kill Akaza. And maybe save Mr. Rengoku. He even managed to knock, Inosuke of his shock. Telling him they needed to behead the demon. Snapping into action. Inosuke rushed ahead. But at that moment, using all his strength, Akaza freed himself. By tearing off his arms, and breaking Rengoku's sword. Just as he was about to run into the forest, and escape from the deadly Sun. He suddenly smashed against something. A semi-transparent dome, appeared at the edge of the trees. Panicking Akaza smashed the barrier, with all his strength, when he'd heard a familiar voice, "Don't waste you time Akaza, their no way you can break that barrier. You know." Akaza turned, with a face filled with panic, looking at the missing Gyutaro sitting unbothered on top of a train cart. Directly exposed to sunlight. And Gyutaro wasn't dying. Gyutaro laughed, as he pointed at Akaza, saying, "Don't worry...(tapping the barrier, showing Akaza he's outside the barrier.) ...this will keep you safe. And, I'd be more worried about him." Gyutaro, moved his finger next to Akaza. That's when Akaza, noticed the man beside him. Wearing a red long sleeved shirt, something a foreigner of the dynasty wears. Long bluish slacks, a black thin sash, wrapped around his waist. Quite a strong physique, with black hair, part of it tied in a long braided, pigtail. Ranma Saotome, has appeared next to Akaza. Completely bypassing the fighting demon's ability to detect fighting spirit, and intent. Again. Before Akaza could react, Ranma lazily thrusted his two fingers, a index and middle-finger straight and strong. Striking Akaza nonchalantly at Akaza's chest. Making the Upper Rank, gasp in pain and without breathe, as he was blasted against the barrier. The impact broke Akaza's body. Gushing out blood, forced to regenerate. Ranma looked at the ground, with a smile on his face. As Rengoku was shocked by this, his life quickly fading. But even then he was flabbergasted, two demons, one that conquered the Sun, and the other overpowered Akaza with a unserious attitude. Then he finally realized, Tanjiro and boar-head, looking to his side, he saw them out of this barrier. Banging and slashing against it, trying to get in and most likely help him. He smiled...such strong boys, they'll make fine hashira. Then a voice spoke behind him, "Don't look so peaceful, you're not dying yet." Rengoku suddenly turned to see two more demons, from what he's assuming. A man with a red long slightly tattered scarf, and a red long-sleeved, open, hooded jacket, and burgundy long pants. Beside this man a lovely girl with a yellow long hair, wearing a foreigner nun robes. She walked forward. Kneeling next to Rengoku, saying to him, "Please hold on, I'll help you right now." spreading her hands onto Rengoku. As Asia's ring fingers, suddenly have a pair of green-like rings, her Sacred Gear, Twilight Healing, in a flash of green. Her healing powers, covered Rengoku. Fully restoring him. His eye, his ribs, and stomach all returned to prime condition. Rengoku was saved. Shocking the flame hashira, he truly expected to die there, then a scarf wrapped around him, lifting off from the dirt. Laharl looked at him and said, "You did well. You're mother is proud of you, now join your slayer. And enjoy the show, kay." with a light flick, Rengoku was tossed outside the barrier. Tanjiro and Inosuke rushed to check on him, but Rengoku was more focused on these demon. He asked, "You!! Are you connected to the demon Setsuna!!?" Laharl picked up Asia, making her squeal, then snuggle onto her boyfriend's chest. Walking over to join, Gyutaro, Issei, Rias, and Sona, Laharl he answered Rengoku. Saying, "She's one of my beloveds, and beside that...why should you Corp care? To weak to deal with a wannabe demon, like that Kibutsuji. Why aim for higher leveled devils." Walking out the barrier, and joining the other devils. It's clear, that one of Rengoku's fears have been answered. Just like Mitsuri guessed, these might be demons, from or before Muzan, clearly stronger and without the sunlight weakness. At that moment Akaza fully regenerated, standing back up, with a crazed look on his face. As Ranma stood there, becoming clear that a battle was soon to begin.
