Rematch, John Vs. Mushashi

They meet everyone on the Airship even The Celestial Knights have come to help.

"well the gang is all here," said John.

"John why you eave us at the manor," said Lizius.

"Well I figure I go investigate Jaru ruins and I was right it's their base," said John.

"well we should come up with a plan," said Cyrus.

"it might be tough since there is a sin demon involved," said Gau.

"my it may have been eons since I saw a sin demon to think one is back now," said Azazel.

"well we got to get that girl what coming she ate the queen after all," said Rize.

"well that could be a tough one bro we still go The Order to deal with," said Judas.

"alright then we should attack them before the city," said Rize.

"Now let's not get hasty Rize," said Issac.

"it actually might be a good idea these guys might not know what going on still," said Ion.

"exactly we should strike as soon as possible they won't know what to do," said John.

"yeah and our main objective is to take down Leviathan she the key once she beat it over for them," said Judas.

They land in a field on the floating continent where the Celestial Knights set up a base to protect the airship.

"I will act as support here," said Drazel.

"yeah if we found out if you boys are in a pickle we will bring you here with magic," said Nightingale.

"alright let's head out," said John. They all split up into groups and search around Jaru.

John was walking around the ruined city of Jaru with Issac and Joseph.

"commander was it wise for you to come along," said Issac.

"I can't sit down and watch the young give their lives while men like me who lived their lives can give back." said Joseph. "plus I only have my grandson left I have to make sure the Ripply Family legacy lives on."

"I see well I'll make sure to help too when it comes," said Issac.

"Jack views you boys as part of our family as well make sure not to get too hasty now," said Joseph. They stop to see John glare at something.

"what is it John?" asked Issac. John would then see Mushashi up ahead waiting for them.

"so you are still alive I thought Rize would have done you in," said John.

"Ripply and I see you still live from our last encounter," said Mushashi.

"well it's different now I know of your tricks and how you fight this time you will be defeated," said John.

"we will see I have to gain more strength from Leviathan," said Mushashi. Mushashi's body starts to morph he grows four more arms and two horns on his head his skin becomes gray and his eyes have become purple cat-like eyes he then holds six Katana in each hand.

"he a demon," said Issac.

"so you sold your soul to a demon I see do your quest for power worth your humanity," said John.

"Like I was ever a human in the first place now prepare to meet your end Ripply," said Mushashi. He then lunges at them. Issac then blocks the attack with Aegis in shield form.

John then slashes at him with Kusanagi but all the cuts he gave Mushashi already healing.

"damn he can heal," said John.

"give it up now and die." said Mushashi who then opens his mouth and charges up a black energy beam and blast it at John who flies back into a ruined building. "one down." Mushashi starts wailing on Aegis while Isaac was blocking it.

John tries to get up and realized he can't see out of his left eye because of the blast and blood coming down his face. He sees a metal bar through his stomach and he was coughing up blood.

"damn it," said John. But he then feels someone holding his right hand he looks and see Kusanagi in his right hand. "it feels like I never asked you how you felt about this Kacy we been together through the worst and when I just wanted to take revenge you never questioned me but this time it not about revenge now but to protect our friends and the future. so ask I ask Kacy Kusanagi would you lend me your power?" he asked. Kusanagi then transforms into Kusanagi Masamune. "thank you." he gets up and heads back.

John looks at Mushashi as he turns to him.

"come for more you never learn," said Mushashi. John then takes Kusanagi Masamune and slashes them down in the air towards Mushashi.

"it's over," said John.

"what you mumbling about…" said Mushashi before his vision get unbalanced as his whole body was split in half and blood was spurting out. "but when did you cut me?" he asked.

"just right there Kusanagi Musamune can cut dimension," said John.

"but that is impossible," said Mushashi.

"this is because Kacy is not just a sword but my Esper compared to the Ripple Cutter it is a butter knife compared to her I hope you rot in hell for the sins you committed and hope they show no mercy to your soul," said John. Mushashi then fades into dust defeated. John then sits down.

"Are you okay?" asked Issac.

"Sorry to be the first to get first aid now," said John.
