The sound of blades clashing was heard as both Spade and Nitez were on equal footing despite the heavy wounds they endured from each other, Nitez summoned Demons already defeated by the others.
"Even when Tormal sealed away your powers of the Dark Knight, your abilities as a Spellfencer are just as I remember, perhaps even stronger." Nitez said. "But even they will not be enough, with your powers sealed, you stand no chance against him to avenge us all. If you want to be victorious, you must reclaim what you lost." he said, holding his hand out as a crystal fragment emitting dark energy appeared above it.
(Cue- Blood Pain II- Blazblue CP)
"If that is what must happen, so be it. In the name of our old comradery." Spade said.
Nitez did a few hand signs before thrusting his hand out as he released dragon-shaped flames.
"Feel the chilling embrace of Nifelheim." Spade said, imbuing his sword with Freeze before slicing through the attack and freezing it as it shattered. "Prepare! Vanish!" he said, dashing and slamming his sword into Nitez as he was launched on the third hit before flashing stepping back in front of Spade as they engaged in close combat once more. Nitez soon gained the upper hand and was about to strike before Spade caught him off guard and stabbed him through.
"So…This is…my end…" Nitez said as his mask and hood disappeared, showing a small smile as his shadow black hair covered his eyes. "I leave the rest to you now…my friend." he said as he soon faded into golden sparks, leaving behind the crystal fragment as Spade grabbed it.
"Rest in peace, old friend." Spade said as he and the rest of Spirit Force went to assist the others.
Tanjiro and Mark continued their fight against the Upper-Rank Six Demon, but Tanjiro's constant use of the Hinokami Kagura Forms against the oncoming obis began to take its toll on him.
"Come on. You need to get up." Mark said as the obi rejoined with the demon as she transformed before their eyes. "Not good. She just got a power boost!"
The demon soon looked upon them all.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing? Is that a sword?" one guy said as he approached the two Demon Slayers.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me…" Mark cursed under his breath. "Hey, get back inside! It's not safe out here!" he warned the man.
They soon saw shockwaves erupting from the ground from the demon's use of their obi, slashing Tanjiro, cutting off the man's hand and demolishing several buildings, killing some bystanders in the process.
"Yeesh… So much for decency." David said, shaking his head at the destruction.
"Damn…" Mark seethed. As Tanjiro instructed the man to stop his bleeding, Mark watched as the demon started to turn and walk away. "Hey! Don't you turn your back to this!"
"What's wrong, you still have something to say? Your efforts are useless and you and the other boy are hideous." the demon said. "There's no reason to let ugly people like yourself live. So do us a favor and die alongside them."
"But you were human too once! Don't you have any sympathy?" Tanjiro asked.
"Hahahahaha! Fraid not! Unlike them, I don't get sick or grow old. We demons are beautiful this way. You humans…no one actually cares if you live or die, you disgusting worms." she said.
It was at that moment that she felt the sensation of her leg being ripped off. Looking behind her, she saw Mark tossing her leg aside, his expression deathly calm.
"Lady… I'm going to tear your head off." Mark stated.
"How dare you insult me, right after you have the nerve to rip my leg off!" she said as she quickly regenerated it before going after Mark with her obi.
"Oh, I can't believe I'm about to do this." David said as he prepared his guns.
"Light Breathing, Fourth Form: Lightspeed." Mark stated as he countered each of the obi's strikes, his sword shining brightly as he advanced closer and closer to the demon.
"Not bad, but you can't deflect an attack like this!" the demon said, layering up her obi and bringing it down from above. "Blood Demon Art: 8-Layered Obi Slash!"
"Sorry, but Rui did it better." Mark said as he swung his blade in a circular, clockwise rotation, cutting the obi strikes. "Light Breathing, Sixth Form: Full Starlight Swing."
Before the demon could react to this development, Mark shot straight towards her and swung his sword straight at her neck.
"Light Breathing, Second Form…Shining Slash!" Mark said, only to realize his sword was hitting the demon's obi, which she had replaced her neck with. "Oh, that is such bull…"
"As if someone like you…could even remove my head." she said before her head was suddenly kicked in.
"What the?" Mark said before looking to see Nezuko standing there in anger.
"How dare you…wait. You! The traitor! Lord Muzan told me about you!" the demon said as her head reformed.
"Did you forget about us?" David asked as he approached as well. "I don't know about you, but I'm getting sick of all that crap you keep spewing."
"Lord Muzan! I'll happily eviscerate this little runt along with her friend!" the demon said. "Prepare to die, scum!"
"Scum, huh? I've been called worse. You want to know who I consider the epitome of ugliness?" David asked. "I'll give you a hint, she's standing right in front of me, barking like a rabid dog."
"The words of someone so ugly…mean nothing!" she said before being kicked by Nezuko again, but not before she sliced off Nezuko's arm.
"Oh, you have no room to talk when it comes to beauty, not now." David said as he got rid of his disguise, showing his motorcycle gear. "Whew… Glad to finally be out of that damn thing. If you believe your own words, then what are you waiting for, princess?" he asked as he prepared his guns. "Let's dance."
Nezuko growled as her arm quickly regenerated as her body grew in size as vines appeared on her skin as she bit through her bamboo muzzle.
"Whoa… Um, Nezuko… Try not to go too wild, okay?" David asked.
"Uh…David…I don't think she's listening to anyone anymore." Mark said as Nezuko went to brutally attack the other demon.
David sighs. "That's what I'm afraid of." he said as he went into battle. He proceeds to shoot Ebony and Ivory at the enemy where he could possibly fire from.
The demon did her best to block as many bullets as she could, although she received numerable wounds herself. However, she was able to counterattack Nezuko trying to strike her again as she slashed off her left limbs.
"There goes two of your limbs! Now for your neck!" she said, trying to go for the decapitation kill, but Nezuko reacted faster, impaling the demon in the back and planting her in the ground with an already regenerated left leg.
"How in the world is she this ferocious?" David said.
"It's Tanjiro. She's acting like this cause of how that demon hurt Tanjiro." Mark said.
"Oh, now that demon is in trouble…" David said.
"So are we. Nezuko is losing herself. If she goes wild and attacks a human, Tanjiro would never forgive us." Mark said.
"So I gotta take her out while keeping Nezuko from eating human flesh at the same time. This is not going to be easy." David said. "Then again… No one said that taking on an Upper Moon was going to be easy."
