Nekam takes the full force of the explosion. "Lord Nekam!" Maken leaps into the air, Mr. Trent looking on, "I have faith! No matter what MakenZero tries, it can't finish Lord Nekam, it can't destroy him!" Maken yelled out, "Ryuutsui! Shousen!" (Dragon Mallot Rising Flash) = Combo of Ryu Tsui Sen and Ryu Shou Sen. Performed when opponent is coming down from above, Ryu Tsui Sen first, then Ryu Shou Sen, causing double damage. Maken strikes downwards and upwards in quick succession. Swipe bewildered, "A double attack!" Zage spoke, "Fool. He won't let this chance slip by." Vincent interrupted, "He's still going." Maken yelled again, "Ryuukansen Kogarashi! Tsumuji! Arashi!" (Ryu Kogarashi Tsumuji Arashi (no translation) = First he starts off turning around and doing one hit, then jumps and hits again, then uses the turning momentum to go into a spin and slicing again. Spin goes vertically, not horizontally. He strikes across left, across right, and down, ending in a crouch.

"Five-part attack!" Maken's team watching him. Nekam regains his balance. "Is that all you have?" He ignites his sword and catches Maken across the chest. "He got him! Homura Dama!" Mr. Trent smiled. Maken catches some of Nekam's dangling bandages. "It didn't have any effect!" Trent shocked. Yumi looking extremely worried, "Even the Homura Dama that burns at the same time." "The pain of wounds can be overcome with determination and preparation. For those who leave themselves to the fight, it is second nature. But the age you want, forcing pain on the weak who are doing their best to live--as long as there's breath in my body, I will not allow this to happen!" Maken ended up performing another move. "Kuzuryuusen!" Ku Zu Ryu Sen (Nine Headed Dragon Flash) = Attack learned before the most powerful succession technique. Strikes with the sword NINE times on the 9 vital points, head, right leg, left leg, right arm, left arm, between the legs, the chest, right shoulder, and left shoulder, making this move virtually impossible to block. The attack throws Nekam into the corner of the battleground.

Mr. Trent thinking, "It's not true that it had no effect. After taking blow after blow from Lord Nekam, he must be close to death. But to save the weak and powerless of his country, this man has borne the Homura Dama and returned the Guren Kaina. He knocked down the invincible Lord Nekam. Lord Nekam once compared defeating this man to taking over the country. That was no mistake. He didn't try to defeat MakenZero--no, Maken--to take the country. Defeating him and taking this land is the same thing!" An explosion seems to rock the grounds. The flames from the smokestacks roar and blaze. "What the!?" Swipe taken a back. "The flames, they're raging." "Nekam's sword-aura responds in kind to Maken's." Vincent went on to explain the theory. Zage looked at him, "You think they're the same? These flames are far beyond a few leaves." "So we've reached the end. Let's do it." "Lord Nekam. Yumi looking hopeful. Nekam rises up, grim look on his face mostly covered faced. "The final secret sword. Kagu Tsuchi." Maken breathing hard and covered in sweat, returns his stare
