*Eden is shown staring blankly as a rock fragment pierces his chest*
Eden: *Think* Damn, am I really that weak? At this rate I will not be able to protect absolutely anyone, like those times...
*Eden remembers whenever your loved ones have been directly or indirectly affected due to your powers (Gen, Shu, Yuki, Isaac, Iss)*
Eden: *Think* One after another I failed in my attempt to protect them. Each of them has suffered because of me, but still...
*An image is shown in which all of Eden's loved ones are next to him smiling*
Eden: Yes... that's right... they are still here... they are still by my side... And they've trusted me
*The ground begins to shake*
Eden: *Think* I see what you were referring to Takahashi... I really had a great fear... I was afraid of hurting them if I used my powers, but I was completely wrong
Eden: *Think* The only way to help them is... controlling these powers... Only then will I be able to protect them
*Eden is shown face to face with Vorathrax*
Eden: How Long No See You Vorathrax
Vorathrax: Human... A lot has happened
Vorathrax: What do you want? Do you come to ask me to give you power? Yes, so you know the cost of it's
Eden: No, I'm sorry, but this time... I'll be the one to take them
*You hear the sound of a chain breaking*
Light: *Think* What just happened?
Eden: Thank you, both of you, I hope we can get along *Smile*
*The ground begins to shake more and more as the body of Eden begins to give off dark energy*
Eden: This time... I won't lose
*A beam of light falls directly into Eden's body, generating an immense explosion of energy that leaves all combatants surprised*
Takahashi: *Think* What is all this power? It's like nothing I've felt in the past... What's going on?
*The shadow of Eden's body is shown, as the ray of light falls on it. Showing a great growth in her musculature, her right eye changing to a crimson color, and her hair changing color at the ends to violet*
*The great ray of light is absorbed by the body of Eden, showing an imposing and powerful aura, giving off purple energy as if it were heat waves*
Yohei: *Think* It looks like you're finally waking up, demon
Zipacna: *Think* Are you serious? How is it possible for someone to have all that power?
*From the forest the arrival of Eden is shown with a powerful aura*
Takahashi: *With a big smile on his face* Yes, this was exactly what I expected, Eden!
*Both stare at each other, but in the blink of an eye Eden throws himself with great force at Takahashi, clashing their swords and generating a large explosion that destroys everything nearby*
Takahashi: Let's go Eden!
*Takahashi senses that he begins to retreat due to the great strength of Eden, which worries him*
*Takahashi retreats, but is instantly hit by Eden, who launches a powerful attack that sends him flying, causing him to wipe out all the trees in the path*
*Takahashi crashes and spits out a large amount of blood, while Eden is shown staring at him*
Takahashi: *With an ironic tone* What's going on? Have I disappointed you?
Eden: *With a small smile* I'm sorry it took so long. Shall we start?
*Eden holds out his hand to Takahashi, and he responds with a slight smile and grabbing Eden's hand*
Takahashi: It will be a pleasure
*The wind blows with great tranquility while Eden and Takahashi are shown looking at each other with a big smile in the distance*
Takahashi: Thank you Eden, I don't know what was restricting you at that time, but thank you, it's the first time I'm going to face someone who is on my level
Takahashi: So, I thank you for overcoming all that, to show me all your power, and as a thank you... I'll show you everything I've got
*The ground begins to shake as Takahashi's body begins to give off an overwhelming red energy*
Takahashi's body begins to reach its limit, showing his marked veins as all of his cursed energy begins to gush out.
Eden: *Think* That energy...
Takahashi's hair begins to grow rapidly, while both of his eyes begin to change to a crimson color, in addition to the fact that two huge fangs begin to grow in his mouth.
Eden: Hey, hey, is this serious?
Takahashi: So let's start?
Eden: *With an excited look* Yes
*Takahashi and Eden rush at high speed after each other, starting a great exchange of attacks that make the entire battlefield tremble*
*One attack after another shakes the whole place, even breaking the wind waves*
*Both begin to move at a speed imperceptible to the human eye, but the shock waves they generate with their swords leave trails of destruction*
Eden: Dark Blaze
*Eden accumulated a large amount of dark fire in his sword that he throws like a great slash towards Takahashi, who without hesitation calmly waits for the attack, and with a slight movement of his sword, completely breaks the attack*
Eden: *Smiling* I didn't expect anything less from you
Takahashi: 獄炎斬 "Hellflame Cut"
*Takahashi's sword is engulfed in crimson flames, where he makes a downward attack that goes straight towards Eden*
*Eden uses his sword to stop the attack, but when the attack hits the sword blade, it expands generating a large shockwave of heat that surprises him*
*Eden manages to react at the right moment, so he manages to back away but without completely avoiding burns*
Eden: You wretch...
Takahashi: Did I surprise you?
Eden: An attack is zone, it was the least I would expect from a swordsman, it was a great choice, but... You're not the only one who has surprises up your sleeve
*At a sudden moment, Eden's attack is generated again in front of Takahashi, taking him by surprise, hitting him squarely and sending him to the ground*
Takahashi: *Think* A delayed attack? No... A delayed technique? How is this possible? Not even elite warriors are capable of that...
Eden: *Think* It was risky to try to mix the two ideas, as my attack was going to lose power, but it seems to have worked enough to confuse him
Takahashi is shown getting up from the ground with several wounds, but smiling*
Takahashi: You never cease to amaze me over and over again, don't stop doing it Eden
Eden: *Smiling* The same thing I tell you Takahashi
*Takahashi sticks his sword into the ground, which confuses Eden*
Takahashi: 紅蓮獄 "Crimson Prison"
*Across the battlefield, several circles charged with an immense amount of fire energy begin to spread, eventually closing with a five-pointed star in the middle*
*The large circle is closed with bars formed by flames of a very intense color*
Eden: I'm surprised that a swordsman dropped his sword in the middle of the fight
Takahashi: I'm sorry to break it to you, Eden, but I'm also good at hand-to-hand fighting.
Eden: I see
*Eden drops his sword and removes his armor, preparing to exchange attacks with Takahashi*
*The two launch themselves at high speed clenching their fists with great force that cracks the space*
*Both begin to exchange a large burst of attack with their fists, shaking the whole place*
*After a few seconds in which his punches always connect with the other's fists, Takahashi finally manages to land a powerful punch on Eden's stomach*
*Eden runs out of air in a moment, but gathers strength again to unleash a powerful direct blow to Takahashi's face*
*Takahashi screams with excitement and launches a powerful attack straight to Eden's face, but he manages to react, putting his arms to block the attack, but due to Takahashi's great strength, he breaks one of the bones in his arm, sending it flying by sheer force*
*Eden flies off impacting with one of the bars of the fire prison, causing it to scream in pain and fall to the ground*
*Eden wakes up trembling and full of many wounds with a lot of blood coming out of his body, while an exhausted and badly injured Takahashi is shown*
*Both stare at each other, understanding each other's intentions*
*Both Eden and Takahashi take his sword, causing Takahashi's technique to disappear completely*
Eden: *Think* It's time...
Takahashi: *Think* The time has come...
Eden and Takahashi: *Think* About the final dance!
Zipacna: It's frustrating, isn't it?
Yohei: What are you talking about?
Zipacna: Encountering Someone Stronger Than You
Yohei: It may be...
*Eden and Yohei begin to expel all the energy they have left, generating a great shock with their immense auras*
Eden: *Think* I'll give it my all, it's now or never
Eden: 黒月審判 "Judgment of the Darkmoon"
Takahashi: 紅龍爆 "Crimson Dragon Explosion"
*As they both prepare to launch their attack, a shadow is shown right behind Takahashi*
*Eden's shocked look and Takahashi's surprise are shown, when he finds Puppet right on his back*
Puppet: Bonjour
*Just as Puppet finishes uttering those words, Takahashi is pierced in his chest by Puppet himself*
*Eden and Takahashi's techniques fade as Takahashi falls to the ground*
Eden: Damn!
