Lin has been reunited with her sister, but everyone notices that part of the ceiling is about to collapse! They run for cover, but there isn't any so Ein protects everyone from the falling rocks and gets himself badly injured in the process.



Jakoh appears up above, it was his doing. He tells them that he never intended for the real Empress to live and now that Kenshiro and Falco have exhausted each other from fighting, he will kill them both. With them out of the way he will be able to take over the world easily! Back at the fight, Kenshiro watches as Falco suddenly goes into a stance, involving him balancing on his fake leg.



He then uses his real leg to batter Ken with kicks, smashing him to the floor.



Kenshiro gets back up and after blocking another kick, he manages to stab Falco's chest, hitting some of his pressure points. He says that their fight is now over, but Falco begs to differ. To combat Hokuto Shinken, masters of the Gento Kouken style study the pressure points and learn how to counter them. Falco then stabs himself in the chest....



...and recovers from Kenshiro's attack. By killing some of his own cells, he stopped the destructive flow of his pressure point. Meanwhile Ein has protected everyone and throws the large rock off his back before falling to his knees. He says that he is O.K. but they shouldn't try and help him, as Lin and Lui need to get outside to the fight. They need to stop Kenshiro and Falco from killing each other for no reason.



As Ken and Falco continue to fight, Falco wants to know why Ken is holding back. Ken says that there is a look in Falco's eyes which is stopping his fists. Up above, Jakoh sees the two fighting and decides to finish them both off.



He quickly has his men set up some arrow launching weapons and gets them to fire immediately!



Ein and the others find an object stuck in the ground. Myuu explains that there is water underneath the floor that Jakoh intended to gain access to, but that was put on hold when Kenshiro started to cause trouble for him. Ein says that if they can unleash all of the water they will be able to get out, and the only way is by hitting that device down into the ground to create enough pressure. Since they have no tools, Ein says his fists will be enough. The others tell him not too, but he says he is the only one with the power to do it, and they need to hurry before Ken and Falco kill each other. He hits with all his might.



Kenshiro has stopped some of the spears, but several of Falco's men have also given their lives to protect him. Falco asks why Ken defended him and he says that he thought Falco didn't deserve to be executed by the likes of Jakoh. Jakoh sees both have survived, so he tells his troops to reload and uses explosive arrowheads this time.



Ein has been punching but hasn't been able to move the object and everyone tries to stop him, as he'll die if he keeps this up. But he refuses, saying how he made a promise to Asuka to change the world and he's going to do that now.



Hitting it two more times, he finally shatters it and as Ein falls, the ground begins to crack. He thinks that he finally did it. Seconds later, water begins to burst through the floor.



Jakoh tells his troops to fire again, but they never get the chance as the water bursts through the ground and destroys their weapons. Bat is forced upwards by the water, but survives the fall and tells Ken and Falco that the Empress is safe. Most of the others also arrive safely out...



...but Ein falls down. As Bat rushes to his aid he says that he thinks he is done for this time. Bat tells him to stop talking like that, as he needs to live so he can look after Asuka. He promised her that he would one day take her in an airship to the green lands where they could live in peace. Ein weakly says that he doesn't have to worry if he and the others are around. He thinks they will make the green fields, but he's a little concerned about leaving Asuka with them -she could turn into a real tomboy hanging out with them. He then says he can see it now...that green land...






"Asuka..."



Farewell, Ein.
