The final face-off between Ikuto and Kuzan! Who will win?!

Final Showdown, pt. 3

Ikuto and Kuzan were looking around each other as they circled around, waiting to strike and the tension has never been higher before as Ikuto gets himself ready to take down Kuzan and give him a huge lesson on messing with Yuki or any other girl and victims he could take advantage of, but Kuzan was deeply confident that Ikuto will be slaughtered and Yuki will be killed too and he's gonna do whatever it takes to take him down and before long, Kuzan immediately lunges at Ikuto and attacks him by clawing him in the face, but is shocked when he finds that he missed.

That gave Ikuto the opportunity to fiercely go for the attack and punch him directly to the stomach, slam him to the wall with his hind legs and as Ikuto watches him fall, he's irritated that Kuzan got back on his feet and Kuzan got ahold of his gold chains and is swinging them around to bash Ikuto with it, but Ikuto was very quick to miss and dodge his aims. Kuzan was obviously annoyed by Ikuto's quick draw agility and wanted to knock him down, but doesn't get the opportunity.

Kuzan was fed up with this and he immediately punched, slammed and clawede Ikuto straight to the face, causing a huge howl of pain out of Ikuto and Yuki was completely shocked and horrified that Kuzan just did that to him, but Kuzan wasn't finished with him yet. He punched, kicked, slammed and sucked-smacked him down to the ground and immediately kicks him straight to the guts hard. Ikuto started groaning in pain as he spat out blood in his mouth the minute Kuzan keeps violently attacking him.

Kira immediately went over and pounced him in all fours, rolling around and punching him straight to the face and stomach and she fiercely kicked him to the face again and flipped him all across the ground and slammed him to the wall. She panted heavily and then went forward and bashed him in the head with her foot, unsheathing her foot claws towards his head. Kuzan feels the claws penetrating deep to his head and blood spilled out of it and Kuzan counterattacks her with a slight punch to the mouth and he pulls out his dagger to kill her and he said, "You should never have interfered!"

"Nobody messes with my cousin and my best friend and gets away with it!" Kira shouted, angrily.

"You know, I wasn't planning on killing you because you're not a part of my list...but you've just earned a spot on my victims' list!" Kuzan shouted.

Akashi stepped in and punched him down hard and violently attacked him with everything he got after hearing that Kuzan's putting Kira in the latest list of his victims to do whatever he wants with her and he said, "My daughter will never be in your little list!"

"She earned it! She'll work better as my rape victim!" Kuzan shouted.

Akashi growled angrily and then kept punching him out and Miyo stepped in and slammed him down and violently clawed him down with her claws and threw him towards the wall hard. While Akashi and Miyo fought Kuzan, Yuki comes over to Ikuto and tends to him and she looks at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Yuki. This jerk got me really good." Ikuto replied, having some drips of blood come out of his face.

She comes closer to him, then places her paws onto his face and her forehead against his and she closed her eyes and soon enough, her stripes changed from black and white to white and blue in a split second and with a gentle touch, it helped make Ikuto's scars disappear in a quick second. When she opened her eyes and her stripes changed back to normal, she slowly lets go of his face and within a few seconds, his wounds are gone.

That shocked Ikuto, but also surprised him to know that Yuki could actually do that and he felt no blood as he touched his cheeks and face and he was amazed by how she healed him and he said, "How did you...?"

"I sorta have a little bit of healing powers. I don't know how I got it, but it just happens to people I care about and love." Yuki replied.

"Wow...thank you." Ikuto said, blown away.

Just then, they heard a scream out of nowhere and looks up and saw Kuzan stabbing the old wolf multiple times and they see a panicked and outraged Raikoda screaming in complete horror to watch his grandfather get stabbed by Kuzan. When the old wolf falls down, Raikoda takes his fury out on Kuzan and he immediately punches, kicks and strikes him down hard and grabs his sword and puts it directly towards his neck to stab him with it. Akashi, Max and Mason rushed in to stop Raikoda while Rex and Miyo tended to the old wolf and helps him out.

"Get off of me! He killed my grandfather!" Raikoda shouted.

"This is not the way to handle him out of revenge! Trust me, I've lived through it before!" Akashi shouted back.

Raikoda was a mixture of anger and obvious sorrow that his grandfather was killed by Kuzan in front of his eyes and there was nothing more than watch him die to avenge him, but Akashi didn't want him to do something he'll later regret soon and the last thing he would want is to be a murderer at 15 because he knows that position all too well and wouldn't want the young wolf to be another statistic.

Kuzan looks up at Yuki and he slowly comes onto her and he snatched her away from Ikuto and pins her to the wall, still holding the blood-soaked dagger and he stared at her with so much hate and venom and he's ready to end her and said, "This is what happens when you disobey me. Had you kept your mouth shut, this wouldn't have happened. All of this was your fault."

Ikuto was not gonna watch his beloved girlfriend get killed and he immediately re-summoned Rake to come out and come out underneath the ground and as Rake came out, Ikuto was already ready to take down Kuzan and he wrapped the chain around Kuzan's ankle, which made him trip and get caught in the chain and Ikuto whacked him in the head with the chain hammer.

He comes over towards Kuzan, gets in his face and said, "You'll never harm Yuki or any other girl ever again. I'll protect her with my life...because I love her."

One final blow to the head by Ikuto's hammer and Ikuto turns to Rake and gives him the okay to finally eat him up and Rake immediately runs over and eats him down and for Yuki, that was a sign of relief that her worries are now over. Kuzan is finally dead.

Yuki sighs in relief and she runs straight into Ikuto's arms and hug him tightly and Ikuto hugs her back and they kiss each other on the lips so much that they don't want to let go. Not even for a brief moment because it deeply confirms that their love is still growing and it remains the same and her nightmare was finally over and that she can just focus on her relationship with Ikuto.

"I love you so much, Ikuto." Yuki said, tearfully.

"I love you too, Yuki." Ikuto said, whispering, carressing her forehead softly.

Just then, thye heard the old wolf groaning in pain and rushed over to help, but unfortunately...Kuzan's stab wounds were so deep, that it's impossible for this old wolf to live or be healed and Raikoda was completely in tears and just at a loss on how he can comprehend with this and Rex was deeply affected by this because for most of those 3 years in Kuzan's prison, the old wolf has been a bright light for him.

"Grandpa...please don't die." Raikoda said, in tears.

The old wolf looks at his grandson and he said to him, "Don't worry about me, Rai. You've always been a good boy and you'll be a much better man."

Rex looks at the old wolf and he said to him, "You were the glue that holds us together and you had always told me that there's gonna be a bright light at the end of the tunnel. If it wasn't for you, me and my siblings wouldn't even be out of Kuzan's clutches."

"Just keep your head up, Rex." the old wolf responded.

Then, the old wolf looks up at Akashi and he said, "Can you take my grandson in? He needs a family."

Akashi nodded his head in agreement and said, "I'll do my best to take care of him."

Raikoda tearfully looks at his grandfather and he just didn't want his grandfather to go and soon enough, he heard his grandfather tell him, "Your parents would be proud of you for the young man you're turning out to be."

Just then, he took his last breath and laid down for the final time as he passes away and Raikoda immediately broke down crying and everyone was deeply emotional through the whole thing. Even though they've won the battle, it's definitely a bittersweet victory. But they know now that the old wolf is in a better place and that Kuzan is gone for good.

Kuzan's finally gone, but the victory was bittersweet. Stay tuned for more!
