"KAKU-CHAN!" Takemichi screamed out.

Kakucho grabbed onto his shoulder as blood stained his hand. "Again and again... My plans are always ruined by Hanagaki. When I am unable to use Mikey, I have no choice but to use Izana instead. But you're in my goddamn way, Kakucho..." Kisaki claimed.

Kakucho rushed forward towards Kisaki. "Die." He simply said.

Three consecutive gunshots went off as Izana got hit instead trying to protect Kakucho, who looked back. "What!?" Takemichi exclaimed as both Toman and Tenjiku looked in shock.

"Izana!?" Kisaki shouted as both Izana and Kakucho fell to the ground. "Why... Why is Izana... protecting his servant!?"

"Huh... it seems that guy had a heart after all." Keiji noted.

"Izana!?" Kakucho thinks to himself. "You... What are you doing..."

"Damn it... You're quite handful for a servant. My body moved on its own..." Izana claimed. Kisaki could only drop down to the ground from shock.

"Mikey... There's something I want to tell you." Izana continued on.

"It's Tenjiku's defeat."

"Izana..." Mikey muttered.

"That's enough! I've already announced that... You don't have to say it!" Kakucho said.

"Ha ha. What does that even mean..." Izana mumbled weakly.

"Izana... Why did you protect me!? You're a king, and I'm just trash that can be thrown away. Didn't you have an era that you wanted to build?!" Kakucho asked. "Then you'll be the king, right Izana?"

"It's... "our" era... okay?" Izana replied.

"... Huh?"

"I'm sorry, Kakucho, but... You're the only one I have." Izana claimed as he smiled.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

"I can't see! What happened?"

"Somebody call an ambulance!" Muto screamed.

"Did Izana fire the shot?"

"Who got shot?"

"It's the end for Tenjiku..."

"Izana... Kakucho!" Mochi exclaimed.

"Mikey... You said you want to save me, right?" Izana questioned.

"Of course, you're my brother... You don't have to talk, Izana..." Mikey replied.

"There was one time, I coincidentally met her. The mother who threw me away." Izana said.

"Izana... You..." Mikey trailed off.

"Wait... So does that mean..." Takemichi paused.

"That's right... Me, Shinichiro, you and Emma... We are not siblings... I am blood related to no one at all." Izana said.

"You're kidding me, right?" Inui questioned.

"Hey, Mikey?" Izana spoke. "So you... wanted to save me? There is no way to save me, right? Right? Em... ma..."

"Izana?" Kakucho questioned as Izana fell silent next to him.

"Izana? Hey! Answer me!" Kakucho kept trying shout Izana's name as everyone watched silently.

Kakucho eventually fell to the ground next to him, grabbing onto his hand. "Izana... It's okay, you won't be alone. I'll be there with you... shortly..." He said, smiling widely. "We... lived such great lives..."

"Kaku-chan!" Takemichi sobbed.

Snow soon began to fall. "It's snowing..." Kakucho muttered, recalling a certain memory with Izana.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

"Kaku-chan!" Takemichi shouted out.

Mikey stared at Izana and Kakucho for a moment before he spoke. "Members of Toman and Tenjiku. Everyone, listen up!" He shouted. "Our dispute ends here. An ambulance and the cops will arrive shortly! Before any of us get into trouble, get out of here as soon as possible! I'll be the only person who stays! Dismiss!"

No one moved an inch. "Stop stalling around!" Mikey shouted out.

"Mikey!" Muto called out his name. "You get out of here, too. We will stay here."

"You guys..." Mikey mumbled.

Ran stood in front of Izana and Kakucho. "... Somehow... I've always admired you guys. Captain, Kakucho." He then closes both of their eyes with his fingers.

"Rest well, you two."

"I'll hold on to it dearly, the way you two lived your lives." Ran finished.

Mikey then turned to look over at Kisaki. "I will never forgive you, Kisaki!" Mikey told him.

"Yes... This bastard." Takemichi thought.

"Kisaki!"

Hanma drove by on his motorcycle, grabbing onto Kisaki. "Got'cha!" He exclaimed. "You owe me one, kay' Kisaki!?"

"Shit! They're getting away! If they escape then nothing will change!" Takemichi noted.

"Takemitchy!" Draken shouted his name. "Get on! We'll chase them!"

"Draken-kun!" Takemichi exclaimed, before looking at Hinata. "Hina..."

"It's dangerous for her here!"

"Takemitchy! I'll take care of Hina! I leave the rest to you!" Mikey told him.

"You got it!" Takemichi agreed as him and Draken left.

Kanto Incident.

The conflict involving approximately 500 members between Kanagawa's largest delinquent gang, Yokohama Tenjiku and Tokyo's largest bosozoku gang, Tokyo Manji Gang...

5 involved are detained and 3 deaths reported.

The incident came to an end with a terrifying result.

The 5 arrested are Tenjiku's executives.

Shion, Muto, Mochi, Ran, and Rindou could be seen getting handcuffed by the police.

And the 3 dead, Sano Emma, Kurokawa Izana, and Kisaki Tetta.

TENJIKU ARC ENDS.

A new arc begins!

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Keiji was sitting next to Miyasato as everyone was at Emma's funeral.

"Even on Emma's funeral, Mikey held his head high."

"This time, my sister Emma..."

Draken soon walks in with his hair down, kneeling down in front of Mikey and his grandfather.

"I loved Emma." Draken spoke before bowing. "I am very sorry. I couldn't protect her."

"I see... You'd taken a liking towards her... I'm sure she is resting well." Mikey's grandfather said.

"Gu—" Draken paused as he started sobbing, which made everyone do the same. Keiji just looked down while Miyasato had a sorrowful look on his face.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Later, Keiji was walking with Inui after the funeral.

"Yo."

Both Inui and Keiji looked up to see Kokonoi. "Koko..." Inui muttered.

"Koko-chan." Keiji simply said.

Kokonoi placed a hand on Inui's shoulder. "I'll be going my own way. I can't support you anymore... So don't go ending up on the wrong path, okay?" He told Inui, sticking his tongue out.

"Guess it's farewell."

"Yeah."

The three walked away. "Thank you for everything." Inui thanked him.

"... Dumbass. Likewise." Kokonoi responded.

"You two still act like a married couple, huh?" Keiji teased. "'It's not a love quarrel,' my ass."

His comment received a slap on his arm from Inui. "Oi! I'm just saying!" Keiji exclaimed.

"Keep your comments to yourself, Eiji."

"Ah, there's the Sei-chan I know and love." Keiji chuckled before looking up at the sky.

"Besides, I have this strange feeling Koko-chan and I will meet again 12 years from now."

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

In the murder of Sano Emma and Kurokawa Izana, prime officer Kisaki Tetta and accomplice Hanma Shuji are deemed guilty.

Kisaki is now dead, and Hanma...

"Gotta go, Pops!" Hanma exclaimed.

"What? Another incident? Its been so dangerous lately!"

"Man, it's getting boring." Hanma complained. "Thanks for the meal!"

Hanma soon got back on his motorcycle. "I'm getting tired of being a fugitive ♡︎" He stated before he drove off.

Hanma Shuji continues living as a fugitive.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

《 𝖠 𝖥𝖤𝖶 𝖣𝖠𝖸𝖲 𝖫𝖠𝖳𝖤𝖱 》

Keiji arrived at the shrine wearing his Toman uniform.

"It's your era." Mikey smiled at Takemichi before lowering his head. "That's why I've decided."

"Huh?"

"Everyone, listen up!" Mikey shouted. "We have made a lot of sacrifices, but after defeating Tenjiku, Toman is now Japan's top gang! Right now, we have created a great era that will be handed down to generations to come! That's why... I want to end it all while we're at the top."

"Huh?" Takemichi said in confusion.

"As of today, the Tokyo Manji Gang is disbanded!"

Everyone was in shock at Mikey's announcement.

"Huh?" Mitsuya spoke.

"Disbanded!?" Peh-yan exclaimed.

"Huh...!? Why all of the sudden...!?" Draken questioned.

"First Division Captain, Hanagaki Takemichi! Come forward!" Mikey called out.

"Disbanding?"

"And then what?"

"Huh?"

"Is it the end of Toman?"

Takemichi stepped forward to face Mikey.

"What's going on?"

"Why end it now!?"

"After all the shit we went through..."

"You're kidding me, right?"

"'To change the future' this should be the action, yes?" Mikey asked him.

"B-But... Mikey-kun..." Takemichi tried to protest.

"Second Division Captain, Mitsuya Takashi! Come forward!" Mikey shouted as Mitsuya stood in front of him. "Toman couldn't have gotten this far without you."

"Hold up, Mikey!" Mitsuya exclaimed.

"Third Division acting Captain, Hayashi Ryouhei!" Mikey continued on. "Even without Pah-chin, you have worked very hard. You're the best acting President."

"Mikey..." Peh-yan muttered.

"Fourth Division Captain, Kawata Nahoya!" Mikey shouted as Smiley walked forward. "Thank you for supporting Toman until the very end."

"Don't say that, Mikey! I don't really..." Smiley trailed off.

"Fifth Division Captain, Muto Yasuhiro! Even when you're not here right now, I'll always regard you as a member of Toman!" Mikey said.

"Seventh Division Captain, Koyanagi Keiji!" Mikey shouted out his name next as Keiji stepped forward. "Thanks for all your help, Kei. As both Scorpion Gang President and Seventh Division Captain."

"Pleasure's all mine, Jiro-chan." Keiji sent him a smile.

"And lastly, Vice President of the Tokyo Manji Gang, Ryuguji Ken!"

Draken stepped forward. "Sano Manjiro. You're one egotistical brat, 'Above the heavens and under the heavens, I alone am the honored one.' But we were all attracted to your charisma, which brought us to where we are now. I have no objections to the leader's decisions!" Draken said as he bowed.

"Thank you for everything, President!"

"Thank you, Draken." Mikey thanked him.

The Toman members shouted "Toman!" over and over.

"This marks the end of Toman! No matter how good things have become, they must have an end! And that end is today! But never forget! Toman is forever in your hearts!" Mikey exclaimed, making everyone shout "Toman!" once more.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

《 𝟣 𝖶𝖤𝖤𝖪 𝖫𝖠𝖳𝖤𝖱 — 𝖬𝖠𝖱𝖢𝖧 𝟪𝖳𝖧 》

All of the former captains and vice-captains had gathered at the shrine along with Draken.

"I can't believe it, big bro. Toman is no more..." Angry sobbed.

"Neither can I but if I were Mikey, I'd surely do the same." Smiley said. "That guy has lost so many things important to him."

"Hey..." Chifuyu got Takemichi's attention. "What's your plan now?"

"Chifuyu."

"Toman is disbanded. And Kisaki is dead. You don't have anything to do here now, right?" Chifuyu asked.

"Now that Kisaki is dead, surely he won't be around to kill Naoto in the future. So when I go back to the future, things will be good for sure." Takemichi said.

"Yep." Chifuyu agreed as Takemichi was silent.

"What's wrong?" Chifuyu asked.

"But then... I won't be able to meet you guys in this time period anymore." Takemichi replied.

"I see..." Chifuyu muttered.

"That... kinda sucks!" Takemichi smiled.

"Takemitchy..."

"Hey, everyone!" Hakkai called out. "To commemorate our disbandment, let's make a time capsule!"

"Time capsule?" Draken repeated.

"How lame..." Keiji muttered, which received a whack on the head from Miyasato. "Ouch! To-chan!"

"Sounds good!" Mikey agreed. "Lets see... Let's write a letter to our future selves!"

"A letter?" Takemichi repeated.

"Hmmm, yeah! Let's open it up 12 years later!" Mikey said.

"12 years?" Mitsuya questioned.

"... Oh." Takemichi said, realizing why Mikey had chosen that time period.

"Why 12 years?" Angry questioned.

"Who knows? But... This sounds fun!" Smiley replied.

"Let's gather here in a week, bring your letters and what you think is important!" Mikey said.

"Sounds good!"

"What did you bring?" Peh-yan asked Mitsuya.

"There's no fun if we tell now!" Mitsuya responded.

"It's gonna be a long time before we open it up again, we'll definitely forget what we wrote..." Angry said.

"Of course! That's the thrill of time capsules!" Hakkai informed.

"I'm looking forward to what's going to happen!" Draken said.

"Yup!" Chifuyu agreed.

"This is gonna be fun!" Smiley exclaimed.

"Don't forget about this, guys." Mikey told everyone. "In 12 years, on Toman's formation day let us meet again!"

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

"So, what's our next step?" Miyasato asked as him and Keiji stopped at a nearby creek, their motorcycles were parked nearby. "Everyone's gone their separate ways. But as long as I'm by your side, I'll be okay."

Keiji stayed silent, thinking about his talk with Mikey just a few days before.

"Are you sure?" Mikey asked, looking at Keiji.

"You disbanded Toman to protect everyone, right?" Keiji questioned. "I've known about Michi being a time leaper since the Moebius conflict, where he told me about my horrible future caused by Izana. But now that he's gone, I should be okay now."

"Whatever you're planning, let me help you. I still want to be by your side. I honestly... don't want our story to end here." Keiji finished.

"And what about Miyasato?" Mikey questioned.

Keiji grits his teeth. "It's time he follows his own path. He's been devoted to me ever since we were young. He needs to know that I won't always be there." He replied.

Keiji held out his hand, waiting for Mikey to shake it. Mikey stares at Keiji's hand before joining it with his.

"Not 'we,' Toru." Keiji finally replied, making Miyasato snap his head up. "I'll be going my own way."

"The hell are you saying?" Miyasato asked.

"The path I decided to take is by my own will. I don't want to drag you into it." Keiji turned to face him. "This is farewell, Toru."

Keiji walked past him as Miyasato just stared at him in disbelief.

"Kei!" He called out, but the red head ignored him.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Takemichi soon traveled back to the future, where a wedding reception was going on.

"You're late, Takemitchy." A man with black hair and a dragon tattoo on his temple spoke.

"Huh?" Takemichi thought.

"Hurry, grab a seat." Another man spoke.

"And now, the main characters of the day—our newly-wed couple!"

"... Hayashida-kun! You mean... Pah-chin!" Takemichi exclaimed in his mind in shock.

"Uh... thank you for coming today... The clouds... are not overcasting and it's... uh... sunny." Pah-chin said.

"Are you doing a weather forecast?!"

"Shut up! Pah-chin got his brain dried up, okay?!" Peh-yan exclaimed.

"Peh-yan, you're always so noisy." Mitsuya commented.

"Shut up, Mitsuya!"

"Peh-yan can't shut up." Hakkai commented.

"You guys are so noisy! I'll kill you all!" Smiley claimed.

"Big Bro, you're the noisiest now." Angry stated.

"Come on now... Pah-chin hasn't even finished talking." Draken informed.

"You're all too mean to him... right, Takemitchy?" Chifuyu questioned as Kazutora was smiling while Inui had a normal look on his face.

"God, I need a drink." Miyasato mumbled. "You are all the same shitheads from 12 years ago."

Takemichi teared up. "You guys... survived... you guys are all... laughing happily." He thinks to himself.

"...What's wrong?" Hinata asked.

"I just can't believe it..." Takemichi muttered.

"But with so many things going on around me... I've overlooked something very important..."

A happy future, but something is not quite right...

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Meanwhile, an unknown male was walking through the streets of Tokyo with his hood up, covering his hair and face. He wore a red button up shirt with two of the buttons undone and a black overcoat over it along with black pants and black combat boots. He seemed to be carrying a tan duffel bag, along with a remote.

He enters the police station, getting the attention of the nearby policemen who were at the front desk.

"Can we help you?" A policeman asked.

"I'm here to return something I found in a nearby park." The unknown male replied, placing the duffel bag on the desk.

"I see, thank you very— huh?" The policeman stopped in his tracks when he noticed a familiar tattoo located in the center of the man's chest, causing him to take out his gun. "Y-You're apart of—!"

"Oh, no! I've been discovered already? Better make this quick, or I'll never hear the end of it from that damn drug addict." The male huffed in irritation.

In a flash, the male charged at the first policeman, knocking him out with the barrel of his gun. He lands on the ground before throwing a kick to the second policeman, sending him to the ground.

The male then walks out of the police station as he held up a remote. "Boom." He spoke, pressing the button as the police station went up in flames.

He took out his phone, pressing on a contact. "It's completed, No. 2." He said to the person on the other end of the line.

"Excellent, excellent! Head back to the hideout. You and I have some traitors to deal with."

The unknown male hangs up as he laughed manically, flicking off his hood, which showed his spiky red hair.

"I love my job!"

And who is this mysterious man?
