"I didn't think we'd get this far , but it's all thanks to you , Takahashi , " A distant voice utters loudly.

"Come on , stop it , it was a joint effort by everyone , I didn't do all of this on my own , how could I , it was a joint effort , no one man alone cause stop this catastrophe , you know that right ?" Another voice says .

"I know but you're the key to this success !"

"And yet , how many of us can speak of such success , they's only six of us left..."

"I know... I know damn it "

" What can we do though!"

"Nothing"

"In the end , we can only do nothing , we prevented this catastrophe at the cost of our friends!"

"But we have to keep going , you ask why , because we're the Tōken-shi ."

"That's just like you , Takahashi, fine I'll follow you for the rest of my life , because the Tōken-shi never give up and they help the weak , so even if disaster strikes we have to keep going , through wind and strife , through trials and tribulations , to protect our country and to protect our nation!"

"Thanks for always following me "

"Of course , you're our leader , isn't that right everyone ?"

"Mhm , you're our leader and the Strongest Samurai , Shoto Takahashi!"

"Let's keep going guys , there's only a bit left , the catastrophe isn't fully over, we can keep going!"
