Redemption's Lifeline

TOKYO

A Quinjet was flown to the capital.

---

At a nightclub in the city of Tokyo, as the entertainment still intact, loads of dead bodies of yakuza members were seen as a hooded figure threw a shuriken at another yakuza member firing at him. They were shouting something in Japanese, as two more men came out of nowhere and draw out their UZIs.

Thug one said, "あいつだ! アキヒコさんを!"

(Romanized: Aitsu da! Akihiko-san wo!)

(Translated: It's him! He's after Akihiko!)

Both thugs fired their SMGs as both got slain by a shuriken. A yakuza member wielding a katana charges at him in the stairs, but was immediately overthrown and slain by the Ronin. Ronin fought another sword-wielding thug, which was thrown outside the glass, killing him. The fighting ensued with different screams, shouts, more havoc inside, and gunfire. A man in a dark raincoat jumped through the glass window, with the Ronin doing the same, as both of them landed in a dark alleyway. The man in the raincoat turned to the Ronin, who landed after him. It was Akihiko, the leader of a yakuza gang, who was head being hunted by the Ronin himself.

Akihiko spoke. "てめえ なぜこんなことをする? 俺たちてめえになにもしてねぇだろ！

(Romanized: Temē naze konna koto wo suru? Oretachi temē ni nani mo shitenē daro!)

(English: Why are you doing this? We never did anything to you!)

Ronin drew out his katana and reversibly wielded it, saying, "地球の半分 サノスにやられた... お前はなぜ無事なの..."

(Romanized: Chikyū no hanbun sanosu ni yarareta... Omae wa naze buji nano...)

(English: You survived... Half of the planet didn't. They got Thanos... you get me.)

Both sides engaged in combat as Ronin pierced his stomach, but doing only minor damage to him.

Ronin said in Japanese, "お前はもう十分殺しただ"

(Romanized: Omae mo jūbun korshita daro)

(English: You're done hurting people.)

Akihiko answered in Japanese. "俺らがだと? 気でも狂ったか!"

(Orera ga dato? Ki demo kurutta ka!) Ronin gestured to all the scattered bodies of his henchmen and chuckled.

(English: WE hurt people? You're crazy!)

Akihiko charged, which Ronin immediately blocked. Both clanged swords for two seconds, seeming that the yakuza leader had the upper hand, but Ronin punched him in the face, and sword-pointed him to his throat, in which Akihiko was temporarily petrified.

He lowered down his sword as if he was about to surrender, but charged again at Ronin. Both swords clashed as Ronin sliced his stomach, losing stamina, but gained more strength from his rage.

Akihiko said, with a Gatotsu-like sword stance, "死ね!"

(Romanized: Shine!)

(English: DIE!)

They both drew their katanas and the sword-fight continued. Ronin was clearly a better fighter, but Akihiko was also quite experienced. They clanged swords, and for a second, it looked like Akihiko had the upper hand swinging at Ronin's neck. Ronin, however, ducked and slid under the katana, and sliced Akihiko in the stomach as he slid past.

Akihiko, fatally injured, dropped his katana and said, " 待て! 助けてくれ! お前に何でもやる! 何が欲しい?"

(Romanized: Mate! Tasukete kure! Omae ni nan demo yaru! Nani ga hosī?)
