"Weed!" Kyoushiro shouts as Weed opens his eyes.
"Finally awake, huh?" Tesshin asks.
"Jerome? Roxanne? Where are they?" Weed asks as he sees Amber crying and howling.
"Jerome and Roxanne.. I don't know how to say this, but..." Ryu says as Weed gets away from the others and goes over to him.
"What happened to them? Please tell me!" Weed shouts as Ryo goes to the ground crying.
"We.. we couldn't find them... anywhere! Mom said they are not the only loss. My brother Seth, is gone as well." Amber says as she is crying while going over to Weed.
"No.. they're.." Weed says sadly before howling.
*Timeskip*
"Let's hurry! He's at Gajou!" Tesshin shouts as the group is running to get back to Gajou.
"Damn... that fucking Hougen... He won't get away with this! First Toube, and now, even Jerome, Roxanne, and Seth... That asshole!" Kagetora shouts angrily before the group come to a stop arriving at Gajou seeing Hougen is there and attacking the others.
"They're barely even doing any damage!" Amber says as the group watches Hougen attacking the others before Ryo and Ryu growl and run at Hougen before Ryu is then killed and Ryo is grabbed by Hougen as she screams.
"Now be good and quiet! Or I'll dispose of this girl's life!" Hougen shouts as Ryo is struggling to get away from him.
"How cowardly.." Ben says.
"Hougen! It's too late for you now! Since you're a leader, accept your loss with honor!" Kurotora shouts as Hougen looks at him.
"Shut up, you old shit! Do you wanna be killed too?" Hougen asks.
"That's enough, Hougen!" Weed shouts as Hougen and the others see that Weed's group is now standing at the top of Gajou.
"Weed!" Mel shouts happily.
"Brother your back!" Flicka shouts.
"Hougen, how long do you intend to keep fighting this useless battle?" Weed asks.
"So, you're still alive? This world we were born in is a weak place. It doesn't matter how you win, just as long as you do! Kid, since you're a leader, fight me face to face, before it's too late! Then I'll let this girl go!" Hougen shouts.
"How dare you get so arrogant!" Tesshin shouts.
"I'll accept the one on one fight with you! You're the reason my sister and brother are dead! I'll gladly show you the same fate!" Amber growls.
"Stop it. I'll accept your challenge." Weed says causing the others to look at him.
"What?" Kyoushiro and Tesshin ask in union.
"Weed, don't do anything stupid!" Akame shouts.
"It's alright. This is the only option we have to stop this battle as soon as possible. Besides, our friends were killed." Weed says.
"Its no use. Get back!" Akame shouts as the group gets back while Hougen throws Ryo away on the ground.
"Everyone, don't you dare interfere!" Weed shouts before he begins to run down at Hougen.
"Well done for coming down, brat! I'm so happy I could cry!" Hougen shouts.
"Just watch, Hougen! Zetsu tenrou battouga!" Weed shouts as he begins using his father's attack.
"I can see right through your technique!" Hougen shouts as he tries to avoid the attack before Weed changes his attack and begins to jump and use his fangs to make cuts on Hougen.
"He's learned well. He used the advantage of surprise to turn the attack into a different one and use the surprise to attack Hougen." Amber says as GB nods.
"Just as I'd expect from him!" Tesshin shouts.
"Weed, don't hold back! Go at him with all you have!" Kyoushiro shouts before Weed then jumps and uses the battouga to attack Hougen.
"Weed!" Hiro shouts seeing Weed hit the ground.
"What about Hougen!?" Vixen shouts before the group see Hougen on the ground.
"He did it!" GB shouts.
"That's what he deserves!" Kagetora shouts.
"Wait.." Amber says as she looks at Hougen before seeing him moving as he then slowly gets up.
"Shit! Everyone, don't let Hougen near him!" Tesshin shouts as everyone begins to run toward Hougen.
"Don't interfere!" A voice shouts causing the others to stop seeing it is Gin with Jerome and Roxanne.
"Leader!" Everyone shouts in union.
"Jerome! Roxanne! Your both okay!" Amber shouts happily.
"This is a fight between leaders. Don't interfere with it!" Gin shouts as Flicka runs over to him.
"Father.." Weed says as he and Flicka look at Gin.
"Hah. You sure you're fine with that, Gin? Did you come to watch me shred your son in front of you and that brat of his sister?" Hougen asks.
"It's not going to go your way that easily. Weed! Show me, now! Show me the heart of a wolf and soul of a bear hound!" Gin says as he looks at Weed.
"Yes!" Weed says as he slowly gets up.
"How are you both here? I thought.." Amber says as she goes over to Jerome and Roxanne.
"Your sister is what saved us.. among something else that gave me reason to live.. She removed the bullet and used her abilities to keep us from drowning." Jerome says as Amber smiles at Roxanne before the group looks at Weed and Hougen.
"Nice bravery, kid. These wounds you gave me.. I'll return the pain a hundred times worse!" Hougen shouts as he and Weed begin fighting again only for Hougen to grab Weed by his leg and begin beating him against the ground.
"Why are you just watching!?" GB shouts as he and Kyoushiro come over.
"Yeah! Get in there and help Weed!" Kyoushiro shouts.
"Why?" Gin asks.
"Leader, did you seriously just ask why!?" Amber asks as she looks at Gin.
"Weed is fighting." Gin says before Weed bites Hougen's head.
"He used his fangs!" Kyoushiro shouts.
"Yes. Weed was able to reach his upper body and attacked him in the best possible place. After taking the battouga, his skull is going to be the main attack target. Most likely, pain is running through Hougen's body right now." Akame says as Hougen throws Weed at the ground harshly before staggering a bit from injuries.
"Weed!" Amber shouts seeing Weed is motionless on the ground.
"Get up, Weed!" GB shouts.
"That Hougen bastard is coming! Get up.. get up!" Kyoushiro shouts before Hougen then begins to attack Weed as everyone is watching him then throw weed to the ground and grab his neck.
"Gin, it seems I've taken you lightly. Watch this well! The heroic last moment of your son!" Hougen shouts as he throws Weed into the air as the others hear a loud snap before Weed falls to the ground bloody and motionless. The others then run over to Weed while looking at him sadly and shouting for him to get up with no avail.
"Did you see that, Genba? Now, I'm the ruler of this world!" Hougen shouts as he laughs.
"Gin, what are we gonna do?" Akame asks.
"There's nothing we can do. A promise is a promise." Gin says as he lowers his head.
"What!?" Some of the males shout as the group looks at Gin.
"Just as I'd expect from Ohu's leader. Still acting like a man after his only son's been murdered!" Hougen shouts as Kyoushiro goes to attack him only to get swatted away and pinned by Akame before the group go silent hearing an eerie howl.
"Weed!" Amber shouts seeing Weed slowly get up before he howls angrily.
"The wind is blowing violently again!" Ken says as the wind begins to blow harder as Hougen begins to act like he's seen a ghost before looking at Weed who then attacks him using the battouga to bite into his skull.
"Weed!" Gin shouts seeing Hougen collapse and Weed fall into the snow while panting causing the others to run over to Weed congratulating him. The group then stop hearing Reika scream and look her direction seeing Hougen is getting up.
"I won't... I won't die!" Hougen shouts as Gin goes over to him followed by the others.
"Weed. Do it. You have to put an end to this. This is a battle. This is what it means to live." Gin says as Weed looks at Hougen.
"I can't do it, father! I can't do it!" Weed shouts.
"I see. Then we have no choice, I'll do it. There's nothing you can do to compensate for the crimes you've committed! I'll take your life!" Gin shouts as he grabs Hougen by his neck pinning him with others encouraging him.
"Stop it! Look at how stupid you're being! Father, and everyone else... You're being just as bad as Hougen is!" Weed shouts as he tackles his father away from Hougen.
"Just as bad as Hougen?" Kyoushiro asks angrily.
"Weed have you lost your mind!? Don't forget what he's done to our comrades!" Amber shouts angrily.
"Whatever reason might make it sound right, murder is not justice! If you kill just because you can't forgive, wars will never end! Lets have the hearts to forgive. That's what kindness is, isn't it? Kindness will definitely get to them! That's going to change the future." Weed says as everyone looks at him speechless.
"That's the theory of paradise. But once, there was someone who pursued that." Akame says as Weed looks back at him.
"Yeah. I know that person, too." Alexis says.
"He's someone just like you." Smith says as he looks at Weed before the elders look at Gin.
"Father..." Weed says as he and Flicka look at Gin.
"When everyone else is about to give up, the fighter who becomes the role model is the true leader. Weed, Flicka, you both have surpassed your mother and I. From today, you're the leaders!" Gin shouts as everyone bows to Weed and Flicka.
"Everyone.." Weed says as he looks at everyone.
"But dad I don't want to be a leader." Flicka says as she goes over to Gin.
"What?" Gin asks.
"I'm much happier being a soldier with Mel.. He makes me happy and I enjoy running with him." Flicka says as Mel blushes slightly.
"Well then your welcome as a soldier instead." Gin says as Flicka wags her tail.
"Huh? Hougen's gone!" Kyoushiro says before everyone sees Hougen is on top of Gajou.
"You shit faced dogs and wolves of Ohu! Go ahead and be in your comedy club! Making a fool out of me... I'll massacre! I'll massacre everyone one of you bastards! I'll make everyone of you regret that you let me live! This world is under the reign of Hougen!" Hougen shouts before he is then struck down with lightning.
*Timeskip*
"I still can't believe your sister Serena and cousins got with Ken, Kagetora, and Tesshin. Same with Mel and Flicka."GB says as he is walking through the woods with Amber.
"No more unbelievable that not only will we be having puppies soon but will Roxanne and Jerome." Amber says as she smiles at GB before nuzzling him.
"Hi cousin." Nessa says as she comes walking over with Sasuke.
"Hi Nessa, Sasuke. What are you two doing out here?" Amber asks.
"Well I'm hunting for my new mate." Sasuke says as he wags his tail and looks at Nessa.
"He means I'm teaching him how to hunt better." Nessa says.
"Huh!? You two!? But I thought you didn't want anything to do with him, Nessa?" GB asks.
"Well when you get saved by someone you tend to give them a chance. Anyways gotta get moving if we're gonna be back before dark. Bye you two." Nessa says as she walks off with Sasuke.
"We should hurry as well. We don't wanna be late for that meeting with Weed on finding new allies with the pack." Amber says as she and GB run off.
