Confrontation with the Mastermind

As the champions, Amane, Fuji, Itsuki, and Izumi, stood victorious amidst the chaos of the second floor, the atmosphere shifted when a large screen at the far end of the room flickered to life. A sinister figure emerged on the screen, and it became evident that this was Sayo, the mastermind behind the criminal empire they sought to dismantle.

Sayo's voice was laced with venom as she addressed the quartet through the screen.

Sayo: (with a mocking tone) Well, well, well... it seems we have some uninvited guests. You four have been a thorn in my side for far too long. Do you really think you can disrupt my operations?

Her words only fueled the fire of determination within Amane, whose eyes blazed with fury. Sayo's actions had caused immense suffering to Mihuru and the Shikimori family, and he could no longer tolerate her presence.

Amane: (through clenched teeth) Sayo, you're the reason for Mihuru's suffering, for all the pain she's endured. And yet, you call yourself her mother? You've always treated her as nothing more than a pawn in your twisted game.

Sayo's expression twisted into a mix of shock and anger as Amane's response hit her like a cold gust of wind. She had underestimated the man before her, the one they called the first-generation legend.

Sayo: (gritting her teeth) You think you're clever, don't you?

Amane's eyes narrowed beneath his mask as he stared directly into the camera, his voice filled with unwavering resolve.

Amane: (firmly) I've spent my life fighting those like you, Sayo. I know your type well—ruthless, power-hungry, and blinded by your own ambition. It's time to end this, for the sake of all those you've hurt.

Sayo's voice trembled as she struggled to maintain her composure, her confidence waning in the face of Amane's unwavering determination.

Sayo: (stammering) Who are you? How do you know about my family? What do you want?

Amane's response was chilling in its intensity, and his eyes bore into Sayo's with a cold, unyielding resolve.

Amane: (with a steely gaze) I am the one who will put an end to your reign of terror. Your past actions have caused immense pain and suffering to innocent people, including my loved ones. It's time for you to answer for your crimes.

Sayo, cornered and fearful, had no choice but to face the consequences of her actions as the quartet continued their relentless ascent through the building, inching closer to their ultimate confrontation with her.

Sayo's taunting words hung in the air, her voice laced with arrogance and defiance.

Sayo: (smirking) There are six more floors between us. If you truly believe you can reach me, then come and try.

Amane's response was swift and cutting, his words dripping with unwavering determination.

Amane: (with a fierce resolve) We'll climb those floors one by one, Sayo, and when we reach you, there will be nowhere left for you to hide.

Sayo couldn't help but shudder as the weight of Amane's words settled upon her. The quartet remained undeterred, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead as they continued their relentless ascent through the building, each step bringing them closer to their final showdown with Sayo.

Sayo's gaze fixated on Izumi, hidden behind his mask. Something about his eyes sent a shiver down her spine, a haunting familiarity that she couldn't ignore.

Sayo: (curious) Those eyes... they remind me of someone I know.

Izumi's voice was laced with simmering anger, a burning resolve to confront the woman who had caused his family so much pain.

Izumi: (masked determination) You've hurt my parents for far too long. Your reign of terror ends today.

Sayo couldn't quite place the familiarity, but as she locked eyes with Izumi, she saw a reflection of the legendary figure that had haunted her darkest nightmares – the First Gen Legend himself.

Sayo's curiosity was mixed with unease, a sense that these masked intruders might be more than they appeared. She watched them cautiously as they continued their relentless climb, inching ever closer to her domain.

Sayo's curiosity grew as she observed Amane, her voice trembling as she addressed the enigmatic figure before her.

Sayo: (hesitant) Who is he to you? He exudes the same aura as you, First Gen Legend. Could he be...?

Amane remained shrouded in mystery, his true identity hidden behind the mask, and he decided to maintain the ruse.

Amane: (mysterious) He's someone you should fear, just like you fear me. As for our connection, it's a secret I'll take to my grave.

Amane's words left Sayo both intrigued and unnerved, unsure of the true identity of the masked intruders who were closing in on her. She knew that she needed to prepare herself for a confrontation with these formidable adversaries.
