"Kiriya, no time to waste!" Todoroki yelled as he ran towards the battle.

Kiriya then followed after, holding his Koori at the ready as they both reached the battle.

Makamou of all sizes and the oni were in the middle of a large battle, Kiriya noticed that some of the oni had already been slain by the Makamou.

A lone Makamou noticed Kiriya was off guard and rushed at him. It grabbed Kiriya by the neck and kicked his Koori away from his hand. Kiriya gasped for air as the Makamou continued to chock him.

He flailed his arms to get the attention of the other riders, but they were all busy with the other Makamou.

Kiriya's vision slowly began to fade and everything he saw began to slow down, he felt as if he was at death's door right now, there was nothing he could do to save himself or grab his weapons, he would die without even being able to defend himself.

He resigned himself to this fate just moments before he heard Hibiki call his name.

"Kiriya! I'm coming!" Hibiki yelled as he finished off a pair of Makamou he was in battle with.

Kiriya's heart filled with hope that he was going to survive this battle, but it was then taken from him as Hibiki was ambushed by five Makamou.

Kiriya closed his eyes, wishing he would just die, no longer wanting to feel the pain the Makamou was inflicting upon him. He closed his eyes and just waited for the end as his body could no longer move.

"Kiriya! Hold on!" Yelled a voice.

The Makamou holding Kiriya looked around for the source of the voice, as did Kiriya for a moment before feeling the grip on his neck become less and less tight until his neck was finally free.

He gasped and took in a large breath of air as he turned to see what had saved him.

Before him was Eiki attacking the Makamou, Kiriya took in another breath and saw that Eiki was struggling.

He searched the ground for his Koori and upon seeing them, jumped for them and ran at the Makamou. He let out a fierce yell as he struck the back of the beast his weapon and continued drumming away on its back.

"Thanks!" Eiki said quickly as he punched the beast and then, along with Kiriya, called his attack's name and finished off the threat.

"Heh, looks like you ended up having to save me." Eiki with a chuckle.

"Kiriya!" A voice called out once more.

Kiriya looked up and saw the figure out a woman standing at the summit of the mountain.

"I've got it! The saber works now, give it to Hibiki!" She yelled as she threw the Armed Saber straight down, being unable to jump down there without breaking any bones, this was the best option she had.

This caught Kiriya by surprise and he scrambled to catch the falling saber. He had to dive for it as it landed on the floor. He picked it up and glanced at the crimson saber for a moment before rushing to give it to Hibiki.


"Thanks for the help!" Kiriya yelled to Eiki as they both went their separate ways in battle.

Kiriya found Hibiki, being attacked by the Makamou that had sidetracked him from saving Kiriya.

"Hibiki!" Kiriya called out as he waved the Armed Saber. "It works now, Hibiki! Use it!" Kiriya yelled, he then noticed how much this looked like the battle from two years ago.

Hibiki saw the saber and ran towards it as it flew in midair.

"Ha! Got it! Good job, Kiriya!" Hibiki yelled.

He then took a long hard look at the battle and got into his new fighting stance.

"Hibiki...Soukou." He called as his body was engulfed in bright red flames, burning up any Makamou that tried to attack him.

Unlike the Kurenai transformation, the transformation to Armed Hibiki took no time at all.

Hibki once more looked at the battle and saw the countless Makamou and the numbered oni fighting. He knew that if this kept going on, soon enough, the oni would be gone and the Makamou would have won. It was something he knew couldn't happen, not if this was to be a world of peace.

"Now...I hope this works...it has to work." Hibiki said as he took a deep breath.

He took a tight grip on the saber and drove it straight into the ground, he yelled as hard as he could. Slowly, a red ball of energy formed in front of the saber, it then began to rapidly increase in size. The bright light grabbed the attention of all the oni and Makamou, save for one.

Kiriya looked on and in this moment of distraction, a Makamou came at him and slashed him in the back, causing him to fall to the ground.

Kiriya continued looking to Hibiki as the massive ball of energy grew even larger, larger than anything he had ever seen before. Almost as if he were gazing into a sun, Kiriya then heard Todoroki attack the Makamou and passed out. This would be the last time he saw Hibiki alive.

"Goodbye my friends, take care of this world. Kiriya, Asumu...goodbye." Hibiki silently whispered as the ball of energy finally reached its peak sized and exploded.
