Mr. Trent glanced at Yumi, who just shakes her head. Thinking, "Something even Yumi doesn’t know--truly a secret sword! Probably Lord Nekam's greatest technique." Swipe (thinking along similar lines): "Maken hasn’t used his greatest technique yet either! The succession technique Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki!" Vincent thinking, "But after all he’s been through, does he really have the strength to use it?" Zage thinking, "Whatever happens, this could be the final attack."

Maken gets to his feet and slowly sheaths his sword. Yumi speaking, "Battou-jutsu stance! Then he is going to use the Amakakeru--" Mr Trent spoke over her. "Don’t lose your head! With those wounds, even if he takes the stance, he's more then half dead, it doesn't mean he can use the technique! And even if he can, thanks to Nyx the secret’s out! The Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki hinges upon the left foot! Right or left. it’s the difference of an instant, but Nekam won't let that instant slip!" "It’s been a good fight. I haven’t had this much fun since the last war we fought together. But I have a country to conquer. I don’t have time to play with you any more." Nekam fixing his bandages and waiting. "Though I can’t say I’ve enjoyed this, your skills are truly admirable. But, Nekam, if you speak of time, it ran out for assassian like you and I long ago." MakenZero, after losing quite a bit of blood was now turning grayish, but his only eye was truly showing his determination. "It isn’t over yet. Not as long as I hold the Mugenjin." "It ended the moment I took up the reverse blade." He pushes his sword slightly out of the sheath. "En guarde."

MakenZero and NekamOrez charged. Mr. Trent, "Left or right?" Maken takes that fatal step. Nekam thinking, "Left!" Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki. Nekam BLOCKS the strike, trapping Maken's sword. "He stopped it!" Swipe shocked. Nekam was having a great deal of trouble wrestling away his sword but ends up letting Maken through, but moves away quickly with Maken still  turning, he was left open. "He blocked it," Yumi a little relieve but it seemed it wasn't over. "He broke the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki!" Mr. Trent crazed in the excitement. Nekam scrapes the full length of his sword along his scabbard. "From base to tip, he unleashes the full burning force of the Mugenjin!" Mr. Trent was grinning ear to ear, he was about to see the final techinque. The final secret sword Kagu Tsuchi! (Tsui No Hiken Kaguzuchi = SUCCESION TECHNIQUE. He lights his sword so fiercly that a tornado of fire goes all around his sword.) Nekam raises his sword as a tornado of flames rage about it. Maken's life started to count down, flame swirling all over.

(Flashbacks) "Until I can get the title of the strongest from you for my fallen platoon, no one kills you." Vincent holding all the heads of his already fallen men in his bloody hands. Zage got in his famous Gatotsu stance. "It's been ten years since I said,"Kill. Evil. Instantly," to you." Moving lighting fast attacking Maken. Maken standing over a opium drug lord. "Where's your Lord God Money now?" He whips out his reverse blade sword, dealing an incredible blow to the man's face. "All you do is battle after battle until everything is destroyed, why do you have to get involved?" Vivene talking to Maken as he gets ready to go on his journey to fight Lord Nekam. "It's the only way I know how to live." he spoke. "I don't want to die, I don't, want to die, the man was crawling away with tears in his eyes." Maken walked over the guy and put his sword through the back of his neck. "Wow I can't believe it, he was able to touch you." The man laughed. "It was only stroke of luck and being stubborn." Maken did one final move knowing he was going to die, he muster some what all the force he had left. He swung the sword as the guy raised the dagger to kill him. Then Maken saw the next thing, he was cutting through his fiancee and the man that was trying to kill him. The man spoke as he was dying, "I do not know what a woman is." She touched his face crying, she took the dagger from the dead man and lifted it up towards Maken. Maken closed his eyes as she carved the 12 scars, with one already being there from her dead fiance that Maken had killed.

(Present) Nekam slips, his feet starting to slide out from under him. Nekam thinking, "What, what the? I’m being pulled in towards MakenZero? No! Towards the space in front of him! The sheer force of the attack that split the air created a time lag, and now it's drawing matter back in on itself!" He loses balance. This is it, the ultimate-godspeed battou-jutsu! And all battou-jutsu are two-step attacks that leave no opening! Ryu Ouki Ama Kakeru Ryu No Hirameki(Heaven's Soaring Dragon Flash) = THE SUCCESION TECHNIQUE. Normally when using the Battou Jutsu, the right leg is placed in front of the left leg so as not to cut your leg off when drawing your sword from the left, but with this you put your left leg in front giving your attack the most power it can get, and must twist your body at the right time so as not to cut your leg off. In order to do this he must have a strong will to live. This move is actually a combo of two, because if this move is executed properly, if the first hit is blocked, then the person spins around, and slices again. It works because apparently after the first strike, the sword somehow makes a kind of vortex, sucking in the enemy, allowing the person to be close enough to be sliced again, kind of like a vacuum or even a blackhole.
