Nekam grinned at Vincent and spoke, "Now what would a whipped dog be doing here all by himself?" Mr.Trent angered at Vincent making an appearance, "A whipped dog. Yes, as Lord Nekam says. Vincent! You've already lost to Maken! Your time to fight is over! How dare you show your face here! Get out!" "It is as you say, Mr. Trent. If you call me a whipped dog, I cannot deny it. But MakenZero accepted a challenge from this whipped dog without trying to get out of it, and lost strength by taking unnecessary wounds. This, too, is truth I cannot deny." Nekam turned to him, "So this is how you repay him." "Ridiculous! Even at his peak, MakenZero was pitiful compared to Lord Nekam! The outcome would have been no different!" "Let it go, Trent." "Lord Nekam!" "I haven't fought in such a long time. Let's leave no doubts about who is the strongest. Now that I've beaten Maken and the others, it's me. Care to defeat me and lay that honor before your special task force?"

Vincent blurs into the Kaiten Kenbu. (Kaiten Kenbu = Jumps from out of nowhere after using the Ryuushi no Ugoki Jisse Kenbu, and slices three times quickly across the chest, almost always an instant kill if not blocked. Ryuusui no Ugoki Jissen Kenbu = Move Vincent is most famous for, also known as the Water Flow technique. The person moves around the enemy so fast that the enemy doesn't know where he really is, looks like circling mirror effect.) "So our alliance dissolves. Let's do it." Nekam charges. Vincent circles. "You're too slow. I can see your every move." Vincent attacks, but Nekam traps both kodachi with his sword. "Yes! Even with two swords, Vincent can't meet Lord Nekam's ruthless attack! A defensive, one-sided battle!" Vincent frees his swords and backflips over Nekam, leaving him facing the corner. "He's trapped from behind!" Yumi scared for her lover. No one moves. "What's wrong? (spreading his arms) Your enemy is trapped in a corner. You stand at his back. You have a good chance at winning. Why are you just standing there? You can't attack? Or, you don't want to?" Vincent raises his swords. Two Kodachi-style Kaiten Kenbu Rokuren! (Kaiten Kenbu Roku Ren = Vincent's SUCCESION TECHNIQUE. It's like the original Kaiten Kenbu, but, because it has two swords, it slices with both swords, and the attack makes the person do six slashes, in all tweleve slashes across the chest!)

"Too slow!" He strikes Vincent's wrist with his elbow, causing him to drop the sword. "The Kaiten Kenbu Rokuren is six instantaneous attacks from both sides. Hardly what you just did. As I thought, the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki has cost you your strength. There's only one thing left you can do--play for time!" He strikes him with a flaming sword; Vincent goes down. "Pathetic. That a man who once commanded pure mindless violence should be reduced to playing for time, but it doesn't matter how long you spin this out. MakenZero isn't getting back up. This is meaningless." Vincent gets to his knees. "Vincent. You have narrower aims than Maken, but you both wield your swords for others. You're the same as him. When you were asked black or white, in the end you chose white. When you met me, who chose black without a second thought, you had already gone to meet your destiny." "I don't know if you can call MakenZero and I the same, but I know one thing. I cannot think him weaker than you."

Behind Vincent, Maken suddenly rises, his only eye still rolled back in his head. It's all right, Lord Nekam! MakenZero still hasn't regained consciousness! Hurry, give him the final blow! With that blow the entire nation falls into our hands!" Mr. Trent, yelled. Maken's eye snap into focus, with a deathly stare that knocks Mr. Trent off his feet. His chest was smoldering, from the shot he took earlier, Maken's skin color was starting to turn a bit grayish. Vincent spoke, "The time to fight is now. We are all gathered at this place. We have not yet gone to meet our fate!" Zage and Swipe, too, are beginning to regain consciousness.
