And we see another showdown between Yuki, Max, Akashi and the rest of the gang!


Bigger Showdown!

At the cave, Akashi, Max, Kira, Akami and Yuki fought off the rest of the guards and most of them tried to get Yuki, but the guards were outnumbered by Max's fierce fighting skills, Akashi's unstoppable fighting moves as well as the Soul Keeper's attacks and the Crimson Wolf members going in for the major beating and there was definitely no stopping them. Some of them tried to kill Max, but Max knew when to outsmart them by running after them and sees a dead end, then runs back to the gang while the guards fell all the way down from that dead end.

Yuki was amazed by her father's quick-thinking and she looked at her father with a very impressive reaction and she said, "Whoa..."

Max looked at his daughter with a smile on his face and said, "Impressive, huh? Most of those were taught by your uncle...as well as my own tricks."

"That's awesome, uncle Max." Kira said, amazed.

"Yep. I used those to good use whenever I pranked your father when I was a cub. Made me the skilled fighter I am today." Max answered.

Akashi was very unimpressed by that remark he just made, yet admiring his quick thinking at the same time and all of a sudden, Jeff, Lulu, Sally, Rize, Dina and Laz came around to attack several of Kuzan's guards and some of them were scared off by Lulu's eyeless look while being slashed into pieces by Jeff and Sally, leaving behind a trail of scattered body parts all around.

"We are so good at this." Jeff said, chuckling.

"Yep, I never thought we can have so much fun scaring the priss out of those guards." Sally agreed.

Meanwhile, Rex fought off with several of the other guards that gave him and his siblings heck and the other prisoner victims fought alongside with him; all ranging from ages 17-78 from different species that all wanted vengance against Kuzan and Rex showed off his fierce moves for the first time by clawing, punching and flipping every guard down with a little help from the prisoners and Rex received a huge surprise that the old wolf that has been his guide for 3 years has fighting skills as he did some backflips, as well as punching, kicking and showing off some kung-fu/ninja moves as he's knocked out several other guards.

"Never mess with the old school wolf fighter." the old wolf said, panting.

"You're awesome..." Rex said, amazed.

A few other lackeys of Kuzan's tackled Yuki down and tried to take advantage of her, but she wasn't gonna let them have it as she clawed them in the faces fiercely as the guards groan in pain, nearly blinded by Yuki's claws and they were gonna go after her, but got tackled by Max and Akashi as they punched, kicked and threw them down hard while Max went forward and added some more claw scratches directly to their faces and Akashi went forward and knocked them down and struck them with his sword.

"That's for my niece!" Akashi spat out.

"And my daughter!" Max agreed.

Several of the Crimson Wolf members plus Marcus, Mason, Seto and Kaiba went forward and fought the guards off with everything they got plus Lei and Yang gave them a huge amount of beatings and messed-up faces all before they set out to finish them off and the ghouls were left to clean up the mess by killing them and leaving a whole lot of dead bodies everywhere.

Everyone came together as they looked at each other and saw that they've accomplished in getting rid of Kuzan's entire guards and Max said, "Good work, everyone."

"Now let's go find Kuzan. I hope Ikuto's okay." Yuki said, worrying about Ikuto.

Everyone ran off to the escape route and they heard fighting sounds from the outside and when Yuki popped out, she saw Ikuto fighting with Kuzan and it looks as if Ikuto's winning this fight and then, to her horror, Kuzan brought in his mace to kill Ikuto and she immediately ran out and pounced him to stop him, while screaming, "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

Ikuto's ears perked up and when he turned around, he saw his beloved Yuki coming after Kuzan and at that moment, she was alive.

"Yuki..." Ikuto said, breathless.


And the fight continues!
