*The night air shivers as I intercept the blow, my katana cleaving through Akaza's arm. He springs back, the severed limb regenerating in an instant.* `Akaza`: That is a remarkable sword. *He runs his tongue along the fresh blood.* `Rengoku`: Your quarrel is with me. Why strike at the injured? `Akaza`: He stood between me and my prey. I am Akaza, Upper Rank Three. `Rengoku`: I am Rengoku Kyojuro, the Flame Hashira. `Akaza`: Such strength should not fade. Become a demon, Kyojuro.
