[Ako POV]

We hide out, on top of a factory roof, trying to avoid detection. I had Zenji in my sights, but she outsmarted me. Right now, I decided that it's time to play this smoothly, there is no doubt that Zenji will send her best after us.

"Ako, we need to make a move and fast! Zenji now has the whole Yakuza looking for us, we need to find Kunamoto now!" says Yashin.

"Yayan is right, no more sneaking around. We take the fight to her." says Kai.

"Fuck no! You are talking about falling straight into their laps, how do you expect us to save Kunamoto if we are apprehended?" asks Pai.

"She has a point, she is expecting us to run. She won't expect a full on attack." I say.

"This is a bad idea, doing this is suicide..." says Pai.

"But what other choice do we have? I am willing to do anything to avenge my family!" I say to Pai.

"Even if it means your death? Are you willing to die to avenge your loss?" asks Yashin.

"Yes... I am." I say with conviction.

"Well, you brought us into this mess... I'm with you." says Yashin.

"Me too, we end this tonight." says Kai.

"Ah what the hell? If I am going to die, I might as well have a glorious death." says Pai.

"Then it's settled, tonight, we end the Hidden Lotus clan and I will finally get my Vengeance." I say. We prepare for our final assault on Zenji and her forces. I then look at my mother's necklace and I think about my family. I think about what Zenji ordered Orocshon to do, I think about what I am going to do to her.

All of this anger, this rage, she will feel every violent blow it will produce. I will not stop until I kill her in the same brutal fashion that my father was killed. I am then approached by Yashin and she talks to me about our in pending assault.

"Everyone is ready, are you sure about this?" asks Yashin.

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life, I will not rest until Zenji and all of the Hidden Lotus are obliterated." I say.

"I know, but what will you do then? Once that is over, you will have nothing left but despair." says Yashin.

"I'm okay with that, my vengeance is all I have left. After this, I don't know what will happen." I say.

"Well whatever happens, I hope you decide what is right for you in the end." says Yashin. Yashin leaves and I begin training with my sword. While I am training, I see the apparition of my parents along with Zizan and Sia. I.shead a tear, but I do not let my emotions take hold. I just continue to train until I am at full center of my mind.

[Zenji POV]

Tonight is a very special night, tonight is where I shall take what was rightfully mine. For years I have waited to claim my throne as Shogun, only to have it ripped away from my own mother.

I take my mother into my Courtyard and I tell the others to unchain her. I want to have this moment alone with her... it was time for me to sever the tie that I have to her.

"Zenji, there is no honor in what you are doing. Don't make a mistake that you will soon regret." my mother says.

"I already regret something... I regret being your daughter, I regret having your blood poison my body, but I will not regret taking your head off of your wretched body!" I say with sharpness in my voice. I throw a sword at my mother's feet. I take out my sword and I point it at her.

"I should have done this a long time ago. I should have killed you the day you were born!" says my mother.

"Yes, you should have... But you did not. However, now you have the chance to do it." I say to her. My mother picks up the sword and she gets into a ready stance.

"Tonight, I lose a daughter..." says Mother.

"And tonight, I am relieved of a mother!" I say. We charge at each other and we exchange attacks with our swords. My mother is very fast, faster than any person I have encountered.

As we cross swords with each other, I could feel the heat that our blades are exerting. I then flip my mother's sword out of my hands and I stab her in the shoulder area. I slice off my mother's left hand and she screams in pain. Her screams, how they soothe me so. I brutally kick her in the face, making blood spew from her mouth.

"It's time we say goodbye mother... may you rot in hell!" As I am about to decapitate my mother, I hear a beeping sound coming from the ground. The ground explodes and I am sent flying into the pond of water.

20 minutes earlier

[Ako POV]

We arrive at the location of Zenji's stronghold, I can sense the presence of Kunamoto, Zenji must be in there with her as well.

"All right, Yashin, Pai, you guys take care of the ninjas on the outside, me and Kai are going for Zenji." I say to the others.

"All right." says Yashin. We split up, going to our separate assignments. I just hope that Kunamoto is not killed before I get to her.

[Pai POV]

I lead Yashin down to street level unseen. There are several ninjas down near the entranceway of the stronghold, led by Jaguar.

"They don't see us, but I think they know we are here." says Takashiri.

"Well in that case, no need to sneak around!" I say. I throw an explosive bomb at the ninjas, some were killed, but most of them were alive. We begin to slaughter the ninjas, but I go after Jaguar.

I charge at Jaguar and we begin to fight. Ken Shu blocks every single one of my attacks, with the greatest of speed. Jaguar kicks me into a car door and he begins to choke me, with his foot. I then elbow his knee and I punch him three times in the face, stunning him. I hit him with a roundhouse kick to his ribs, and I stab him in the leg with a kunai.

He tries to punch me but I break his arm, and I use my sword to stab him in the heart, killing him. I run over to help the others with the other ninjas.

[Yashin POV]

While we are fighting ninjas, we become surrounded with more of them by the second.

"These guys just don't quite do they?" asks Pai

"Well it's time we thin the heard. Yashin, though me a bomb!" I reply.

I throw the bomb to Pai and she kicks it into a Hidden Lotus ninja, making it explode upon impact, killing most of them. Pai rolls over towards me, but we are attacked by the eight remaining Hidden Lotus ninjas.

The two ninjas that are attacking me, try to hit me with two chained whips, but I flip over them and I slice off both of their respective hands, before throwing a Kunai into each of their heads. Another ninja comes toward me, but I jump over him and I trap his head in between a car door and I brutally smash it into his head, killing him quickly.

[Pai POV]

Three ninjas attack me at once from every angle you can possibly imagine. I however managed to block their attacks with my Machete. A ninja on the left tries to stab me, but I dodge and swiftly decapitate him. The Ninja on the right tries to punch me, but I quickly duck down and the ninja hits his fellow ally.

I spin on the ground and I kick them both away from me. One of the ninjas rises to his feet and he tries to hit me with a
Jumping dragon kick, but I grab his leg and I bend it over his head. I stab him with my Dao sword, while the other ninja tries to sneak attack me. I block his attempt and I stab him in the chest with a Kunai and I break his neck, killing him in a swift fashion.

[Yashin POV]

I stand face to face with a Hidden Lotus ninja and we begin to exchange sword attacks. I take out my sickle and I pull him over towards me. I begin to brutally beat the ninja by punching him in the face.

Another ninja tries to attack me from behind, but Pai jumps onto the ninjas shoulders and she hits a frankenstiner on the ninja, making him land on the top of his head, killing him.

I continue to punch the last remaining Hidden Lotus ninja, until he is nothing but a pale bloody reflection of himself. I dig my hand into his throat and I rip it out, causing him to choke on his own blood. As we regroup back together, we see Zenji's stronghold begin to explode into rubble. We then take cover, away from the violent blast.

17 minutes earlier

[Ako POV]

We go onto the rooftop of the stronghold and we see Zenji preparing to kill Kunamoto. How unforgivable of Zenji, to kill your own mother, over something she never saw in you. I throw a small Kunai, laced with explosive powder onto the ground where Zenji is standing. The kunai then explodes blowing Zenji into a pond.

"Kunamoto!" Kai shouts. Kai jumps down to the courtyard and she tends to Kunamoto, who is badly injured. She appears to be missing her left hand. I jump down to help them while Zenji is down.

"Kunamoto... You look like shit." I say to her.

"Nice to see you too Ako." says Kunamoto.

"Can you walk?" I ask her.

"Yeah..." Kunamoto says. Moments later, Zenji rises out of the pond, with severe burns across her face. The horrific Visage brings a level of satisfaction to my face.

"I'm impressed... You caught me off guard there." says Zenji.

"Kai, take Kunamoto and get her out of here." I say to her.

"Will do!" says Kai.

"Ako... be careful." says Kunamoto. I nod and I turn around to Zenji, who has her sword out. I then take my sword out and we stand face to face with each other.

"You took everything away from me... WHY?!" I ask Zenji.

"Because you took my destiny from me... You took my birthright! For that I simply responded in kind. It was that simple Ako, you took from me my family title, I took away your family and clan. I broke you, inside and out, all you can think about revenge for your family." says Zenji.

"Revenge has consumed me, but not now... all that consumes me is punishment. I have went after the wrong person, Orocshon was just a pawn to you, like your mother was dead to you. Zenji... I am here to punish you for your sins!" I say.

"You will try, but I will make sure you will join your family in the afterlife!" says Zenji.

"My Vengeance... ends now!" I say. I charge at Zenji and she charges at me and we then clash swords with each other.

[Kai POV]

As I take Kunamoto down to the elevator, I can feel her slipping into unconsciousness. We access the elevator and we get down to the lower level. From out of nowhere, A Sai tries to stab me in the skull, but I dodge and it hits the wall. Renmmaru shows up and she signals that she wants to fight me.

I place Kunamoto down next to a pillar and I walk towards Renmmaru, who strikes first. I dodge her barrage of kicks, and I knock her down with a backflip kick. Renmmaru then trips me and she kicks me in the face, drawing blood from me in the process.

Renmmaru mounts on top of me and she tries to punch me, but I block the attempt and I trap her in a Kimura Lock. Renmmaru quickly fights out, and she gives me a german suplex.

I rise to my feet and I begin to trade attacks with Renmmaru. I try to kick her but she dodges and attempts to stab me with her Sai, but I block her arm and I steal the Sai away from her. Renmmaru tries to kick me, but I grab her leg and I stab the Sai into her leg, severing the blood vessel. As Renmmaru bleeds out, I take out two kunai's laced with snake venom and I begin to slash at the vital areas of her body.

Renmmaru tries to punch me, but I slice the tendons in both of her wrists, I then stab both of the Kunai's into the back of her shins. I then grab her by the throat, and I stab her own Sai down her throat, killing her.

"K... Kai..." says Kunamoto.

"Hang on Master, let's get out of here." I say to her. I teleport away from the stronghold and I take her to my village, to get her some medical help. Godspeed Ako, until we meet again.
