DRAKEN AND MIKEY HAD FINALLY made up, according to Takemichi. Now, Draken didn't have to die and Miyasato didn't die trying to save him.

That's all Keiji could ever ask for.

He was walking around the festival alone, as Miyasato was with Draken and Emma, dressed in his gang jacket with a black t-shirt, black ripped up jeans and black combat boots.

"Perhaps I should've taken To-chan's advice and asked Manjiro out to the festival."

"It's not like I necessarily hate the guy, I wouldn't have asked him to be partners if I did. It's like I told To-chan, he has more important shit to do. We're both in charge of gangs that are important to us, it wouldn't work out." Keiji thought.

"Well, it somehow did work out, Keiji. You're engaged to the fucking guy in the future."

Keiji snorted as his phone buzzing snapped him out of his thoughts. He flipped it open and raised an eyebrow in question when he saw the caller ID, but answered it anyway.

"Michi? What's up?"

"Are you with Draken-kun and Miya-kun right now?"

"No. I haven't seen them throughout the festival. Why?"

"It turns out I let my guard down after all. I overheard Kiyomasa-kun is going to kill Draken-kun. And if he gets killed, then that means—"

"Yeah. To-chan interferes and gets caught in the gunfire." Keiji finished. "Damn it. I knew things were too good to be true. I'll meet up with you."

"All right."

Keiji hung up as he shut his phone close, before running to find Takemichi.

【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】★【☆】

Keiji finally had met up with Takemichi, who was with Mitsuya. "Peh-yan is convinced that Toman abandoned Pah-chin." Mitsuya explained.

"But that's not true." Takemichi argued.

"Peh-yan got together with some of the remaining members of Moebius and said he was gonna take Draken out." Mitsuya said.

"But that's..." Takemichi trailed off.

"He's gonna hunt down Draken." Mitsuya finished.

"We need to let Draken-kun know!" Takemichi exclaimed as the three were now running.

"Considering we saw Peh-yan's ride, shit might already be going down." Mitsuya stated.

"That doesn't calm my nerves, Mitsu-chan." Keiji muttered.

"Any luck on contacting Miya-kun, Keiji-kun?" Takemichi asked, looking over to the red head who had his phone out.

"No luck. His phone either died or it's turned off. I'm totally kicking his ass for ignoring me once this shit is over with." Keiji replied. That's when Takemichi remembered something Naoto had told him.

"Mitsuya-kun! Keiji-kun!" Takemichi suddenly said, making the two stop.

"The parking lot... Is there another parking lot other than the one we were just at?" Takemichi asked.

Mitsuya thinks for a moment. "I think there's one out back." He replied.

"That's it, then!" Takemichi said as he began running.

"Hey!"

Mitsuya, Keiji, and Takemichi happened to run by Hinata, who looked over in confusion.

"It's just around the corner." Mitsuya said.

"Got it!" Takemichi replied as the three turned the corner and spotted unconscious Moebius members on the ground.

"They're from Moebius!" Takemichi commented.

They heard the sounds of fighting as they turned and spotted Draken and Miyasato against multiple members of Moebius.

"Draken-kun! Miya-kun!" Takemichi shouted.

"Hey, Mitsuya, Keiji... Takemitchy." Draken greeted.

"Yahoo! President! You're late to the party!" Miyasato added on.

Keiji sighed. "Typical To-chan..." He mumbled.

"Takemitchy! Mitsuya! Koyanagi!"

The three turned around to see Emma. "Emma-chan..." Takemichi said before looking back.

"Peh-yan, you bastard." Mitsuya stated. "The hell are you teaming up with Moebius for?!"

"Shut up, Mitsuya! I'll kill you, too." Peh claimed.

"Oh?" Mitsuya said.

"Honestly, I don't care about Draken... Wait, no, that sounded wrong. Of course I care about Draken, but for you to drag To-chan into this, too?!" Keiji added. "That seriously pisses me off!"

"That's the captain of the 2nd Division, Mitsuya."

"He's strong."

"The red head is Koyanagi Keiji, President of the Scorpion Gang. I heard he goes by Red Riot."

"Peh-yan, you coward! You had them attack him with a bat all of a sudden! And you brought all these guys with you! And you call yourself a man?!" Emma exclaimed.

Draken drops a Moebius member on the ground. "Ugh... I'm tired." He commented.

"Whew... Fighting really takes the wind out of ya." Miyasato agreed.

"Draken-kun, Miya-kun, are you okay?" Takemichi questioned.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Mitsuya." Draken told him.

"Go get them, Kei." Miyasato added on. 

"Yup." Mitsuya said.

"Just rest now, To-chan." Keiji informed.

"God, my head hurts." Draken muttered.

"You little shits really think you're a match for all of us?"

"Can it, dumbass." Mitsuya told him.

"You're gonna pay 100 times over for hurting To-chan." Keiji added.

"Kill all four of them."

"Hell yeah!"

"Let's do this shit!"

Keiji finally heard the sound of a familiar motorcycle engine.

"He's finally here." Draken commented.

"That exhaust sound..." Mitsuya said.

"That's Mikey's CB250T." Draken stated.

"It's about damn time Manjiro shows up." Keiji stated.

Mikey then placed his motorcycle to a stop as it skidded on the road.

"Hey, isn't that..."

"You gotta be shittin' me!"

"No one said he'd be here."

"Mikey..."

"Mikey-kun!" Takemichi exclaimed.

Mikey turned off his bike and walked forward. "I see now. The reason I got called to be somewhere else was so you could attack Ken-chin." He said.

"Someone planned that, too?" Takemichi thought.

"And then you were gonna put the blame on me and break Toman in half." Mikey finished.

"I'm just doing this for Pah-chin—"

"This isn't how you do shit." Mikey interrupted. "Who tricked you into doing this?"

"So... there's a mastermind controlling Peh-yan?" Takemichi thinks to himself.

"Wow, I'm impressed." Keiji growled lowly when a very familiar spoke up in a bored tone.

Keiji looked behind Mikey and spotted Hanma smoking a cigarette.

"Guess you're not just brawn after all."

"Who the hell are you?" Mikey asked as Keiji just glared at him.

"Now who's this guy?" Takemichi asked himself before looking over to Keiji who had a scowl written on his face.

"Has Keiji-kun met this guy before?"

Hanma let's put a puff of smoke. "Man, I'm tired." He said, walking to Mikey. "It doesn't matter who I am. But I'm sorta in charge of Moebius for now. The name's Hanma."

Moebius "Temporary" Commander.
Hanma Shuji.

"Oi, Hanshit. We really got to stop running into each other." Keiji spoke up, shocking everyone.

"Oh? If it isn't Koyanagi. So the rumors are true. You did join forces with Toman after all." Hanma stated.

"You know this guy?" Mitsuya muttered.

"Unfortunately." Keiji scoffed. "Hanma and I have a... how do I put this? Well, all you gotta know is, I hate his fucking guts."

"So you're the creeper who's been pulling the strings?" Mikey asked.

"Wow, you're a pain in the ass, Mikey—" Hanma began.

Without hesitation, Mikey tried to kick him directly in the face, but Hanma reacted quickly as he blocked his attack, leaving Mikey stunned and in shock while Hanma's cigarette dropped to the ground.

"He stopped Mikey's kick?!" Mitsuya exclaimed with widened eyes.

Hanma waved his hand around. "Don't be in such a hurry, Mikey. Our goal is to crush Toman. But that's a pain, so we wanted you to fight yourselves. I mean, it works out either way in the end. This just means I get to..." He placed his hand over his face.

"...kill the Invincible Mikey with my own two hands!"

"This is the guy behind everything?" Takemichi thought.

"Moebius has 100 men here! And Toman has a measly four with two members of the Scorpion Gang!" Hanma shouted. "Don't you dare wuss out this time, assholes! I'm not a softie like Osanai."

"Yes, sir!"

"If any of you run away, I'll chase you down and beat all the teeth outta your damn mouths!" Hanma threatened.

"Yes, sir!"

"Mikey, Draken, and Koyanagi... You three are dead ♡︎" Hanma claimed.

"Do you ever stop running your mouth?" Keiji asked in irritation.

Keiji then heard the sounds of multiple engines, getting everyone's attention.

Mitsuya sighed in relief. "They made it in time." He stated.

"Huh?" Takemichi said in confusion.

Everyone turned around to see all of Toman with their motorcycles as they walked forward.

"Man... Look at this mess." Baji commented.

"Infighting's really not my thing." Muto spoke up.

5th Division Captain.
Muto Yasuhiro.

"But we can go all-out if we're fighting Moebius!" Smiley exclaimed.

4th Division Captain.
Kawata Nahoya.

"Just means that the big showdown's tonight." Baji added on as a hair tie was clenched between his teeth.

1st Division Captain.
Baji Keisuke.

"You guys..." Mikey trailed off.

"Tokyo Manji Gang's here, jackasses!" Baji exclaimed.

More engines were heard, getting everyone's attention once more.

"Kei..." Miyasato began.

"Yeah." Keiji finished, knowing what he was about to say.

A group with identical black and orange jackets with the word "Scorpions" on the back and on the sleeves walked forward.

"And so is the Scorpion Gang." Sunada spoke up, adding on to Baji's sentence.

"Rai-chan." Keiji smirked at the sight of one of his captains.

The ginger smirked back. "Think we'd leave you or Toman hanging, Prez?" He asked.

"Nah, I know you guys got my back." Keiji said before turning to Hanma. "How about it, jackass? Is this enough people for ya? Now you're the one who's outnumbered."

Hanma didn't answer him. "Who wants to die first?" Smiley asked as Baji tied his hair up in a pony tail.

"Peh! I'm killin' you first!" Muto declared.

Peh back up a bit before Hanma grabbed onto his head. "Now the party's gettin' started!" He claimed as the three gang's stared at each other.

"A big-ass brawl on the day of the festival... I can feel the excitement in my blood." Draken spoke up standing next to Mikey's right while Keiji stepped up and stood on Mikey's left and Miyasato was next to Keiji.

"Right, Mikey? Keiji? Miya?"

Mikey laughed. "Yeah, Ken-chin." He replied.

"I'm gonna have lots of fun with this." Keiji agreed before glancing over at Miyasato. "Are you sure you're okay, To-chan?"

"Don't worry about me, Kei. I can still fight. I'm sure it's the same with Draken." Miyasato responded with Draken nodding in agreement. "As long as I don't get stabbed, I'll be fine!"

"Please don't jinx it, To-chan." Keiji thought.

"Draken-kun! Miya-kun!" Takemichi thinks to himself. "No..." He mumbled.

Both the Tokyo Manji Gang and the Scorpion Gang stepped forward.

"Let's do this shit!" Mikey shouted as him, Draken, Keiji, and Miyasato ran forward with their respective gangs following behind them.

"Kill 'em all!" Hanma ordered as Moebius ran forward the same time Toman and the Scorpion Gang did.

All Keiji could hear was the sounds of both his gang, Toman, and Moebius fighting each other.

"Shit! It actually started. I have to protect Draken-kun and Miya-kun, no matter what!" Takemichi told himself. "Draken-kun! Miya-kun!" He shouted out.

Keiji threw a roundhouse kick at one of the Moebius members while Miyasato threw a punch at one who was about to attack Draken.

Keiji threw another kick at a Moebius member who came close to him. "Damn it! I can't look out for To-chan this way. Michi, I leave everything to you! Keep To-chan and Draken safe!" He thought before sending another punch to another Moebius member.

"Die, yay! Murder, yay!" Smiley chanted as he was punching a Moebius member repeatedly.

One Moebius member headed for Baji who dodged his punch before punching him in the jaw and sending a kick to another while Chifuyu punch one's face.

Mitsuya sent a punch to a Moebius member as Takemichi kept calling out Draken and Miyasato's names before a Toman member crashed into him.

"The hell're you just standin' around for?!"

"Sorry!" Takemichi apologized. A Moebius member flew at him before he quickly dodged. He tripped and landed in a puddle as he sat up.

"Damn it! This was all for nothing! Because of this conflict today, Draken-kun is probably going to get killed by Kiyomasa-kun. Miya-kun will get killed trying to save him. I have to protect them both in this past. I never want to see Akkun die again! Or Hina's death!"

Takemichi then stood up. "I'm going to stop Kiyomasa-kun, and... I'll change the future!" He declared before running off again.

Two Moebius members grabbed Muto. "Don't get too cocky." One said before Muto clenched his fist and threw them both over.

Mitsuya grabbed an umbrella that he was being attacked with before breaking it over his knee and punching the Moebius member in the chest.

"Die!" A Moebius member told Hakkai as Hakkai punched him in the face.

Smiley was throwing punches at a Moebius member while Baji was on a car and faced three Moebius members. He jumped down and kicked two of them in the face.

"Bastard!"

Baji caught his wrist on time and then grabbing his other fist before head butting the third member.

"What's the matter?! You done already?!" Baji mocked as more members headed for him.

Keiji looked over to see Mikey being punched by Peh repeatedly with Mikey not fighting back. He just sighed to himself.

"Ah, I'm going to be in so much pain by the end of this." Keiji thinks to himself. "I haven't seen To-chan in a while. I really hope him and Draken are okay."

Meanwhile, Takemichi spotted Kiyomasa muttering to himself as his knife was covered in blood, making Takemichi look over.

That's when he saw Draken on his stomach with Miyasato not too far from him, but on his back, both of them knocked out with puddles of blood surrounding them as he rushed over to them both.

"Draken! Miyasato!" Takemichi shouted, not receiving a response from either of them.

"Draken-kun! Miya-kun!"
