Tremble & Die!
Villains Of Night Fog Valley!!

The Fang clan are in mourning over the deaths of so many of their brothers. The Fang King cries over the deaths of some of his sons, and calls the two who killed them evil.

He says he can't forgive them, and he can't not just let this lie -their clan must never forget those men. One of the Fangs, Gibara, is very upset that Kemada has died. There was no brother nicer than Kemada!

He says that during their raids, Kemada would always bring him whatever he wanted!

He thinks Kemada was a kind, wonderful brother. No matter what, he'll get revenge for his death! The Fang King tells him well said -just what he'd expect from a son of his. He decides to put him in charge of killing the North Star and South Star men. Gibara asks who'll follow him, and several Fangs stand up. They all head off.

The Fang King says he has such magnificent sons, and then asks for Gojiba. Gojiba suddenly appears, and says he's right here. The Fang King asks for his opinion, and Gojiba says he's also very torn up over Kemada's death. The Fang King says he's glad to hear that, and wants to teach those men how it feels when you lose someone in your family. He says those men must have families of their own, and wants Gojiba to find them.As Gojiba vanishes, the Fang King says he'll swear those two men will pay for spilling the blood of his clan.

At Mamiya's village, Mamiya is giving a speech. She says that Ko sacrificed himself to protect everyone here, and thanks to Kenshiro and Rei, the Fang clan's force in this area was wiped out. But they can't get careless now, as the Fang clan are sure to come and attack them again. They have to do all they can to protect the small bit of peace and freedom that this village represents. It's what they owe to all the people who were sacrificed for this village's happiness. The villagers say they'll fight to the end, and Mamiya thanks them.

Bat is watching, and again says that Mamiya is just so cool. But Lin says she thinks Mamiya seems so lonely, and it's like she's given up something. Bat thinks there are times where Lin talks like she's a philosopher. Later on, Lin asks Mamiya if she has someone who makes her happy.

Mamiya laughs and says she doesn't -she lost such feelings a long time ago. Later on, she is walking through the flower field, when Rei stops her. He says that there's no reason for her to fight. Mamiya asks why, and he tells her it's because she's a woman.

Mamiya says she gave up being a woman a long time ago, and smacks Rei's hand off her. She tells him that the person she sees before her isn't a woman anymore. She's a warrior, who is dedicated to protecting this village. Rei suddenly starts swinging his arms around...

...and slices Mamiya's outfit to pieces. As she cover herself, Rei tells her that if she really "wasn't a woman", there's no need for her to hide her breasts. He tells that a woman should only think about her own happiness. He places Airi's veil over her, and says it suits a woman more than battle gear.

As he walks off, he says that someday he'll send her a veil of virgin white. Kenshiro then appears, and puts a blanket over Mamiya. He tells her that he thinks her and Airi are mixing together in Rei's heart.

Gojiba returns, and says that he couldn't find anything out about the North Star man's family. But he has discovered that the South Star man has a little sister. The Fang King says that'll do nicely. Back at the village, Kenshiro asks the village elder where the Fang clan is based. The elder says someone else just asked him the same question.

Kenshiro realizes it was Rei. Nearby, two kids go up to Rei, and thank him for protecting their village. Rei asks the boy if the girl is his sister, and he says she is.

Rei tosses them a bar of chocolate, and the boy snaps it in half. But he doesn't do a very good job of making the halves even, with one piece being bigger than the other. He gives the larger piece to his sister.

Rei says that's right. Kenshiro then appears, and asks Rei if he wants to go now, as two will finish the job faster than just one. The two men head out, and leave the village.

As they walk, Mamiya is waiting outside. She says she's going too, as no matter what they may think, she's responsible for this village. She has a duty to watch over it to the very end... before she can continue, she sees that Kenshiro and Rei have just walked past her, without saying a word. She says she can't let the two of them go running off, so she's going with them.

Rei says she could die, but she says she doesn't care. The group head off, and soon come across a large cliff. Rei says they'll just have to climb over it, which alarms Mamiya.

The group start to make their way up the cliff. Parts of it are falling away as they climb, but Kenshiro and Rei make it to the top first.

Mamiya is about to make it, but then slips and almost falls. Rei says this is too much for a woman, and goes to give her a hand. Mamiya says she doesn't need help, and gets him to back off when she nearly stabs his hand with a spike.

She climb up herself, and apologizes for being late. She then tells the two that they should be going on. As she walks off, Rei and Ken exchange smiles.

Nearby, a Fang sees Kenshiro's group approaching. He tells Gibara, who says that the woman with them is Mamiya, the woman from the village. He again swears to avenge Kemada.

Kenshiro's group come across a coffin. They then hear Gibara's voice, who says that that Fang clan always gets its revenge. They've prepared a coffin for them, and whilst it may be small, the three of them will be able to fit into it. Just then, a couple of Fangs burst out of the ground. Kenshiro jumps up and hits a pressure point on one...

...whilst Rei slices up the other. Gibara says this is the Huashan wolf pack fist technique, and they won't be able to tell where they'll come from next. He tells the Fangs to attack, as one leaps out of the coffin, whilst more burst out of the ground.

KAZAN GUNROU KEN

(Huashan Wolf Pack Fist)

But this technique proves to be useless -Kenshiro starts hitting pressure points on the Fangs, whilst Rei slices them up. And some Fangs have their faces split open...

...by Mamiya's yoyos. Gibara wonders what are these guys, and can only watch as his entire force gets wiped out.

With all of the Fangs dead, Rei asks them if they're done playing hide and seek. Gibara sees they've killed everyone, and thinks he doesn't know if he can handle this. He asks for Kemada to give him strength, and pops out some claws are on both of his arms. He leaps down and charges towards the group, but they avoid his strike.

Gibara cowers, and asks to be spared -he didn't do anything! Rei asks him if he has seven scars on his chest, but Gibara just stutters that all of this was his father's idea, and he was just following orders. Rei thinks a coward like him couldn't be the man with seven scars. Gibara staggers back, and ends up falling into the coffin.

Rei slices the coffin into pieces, killing Gibara. Rei is angry, as again, that wasn't the man with seven scars. Kenshiro decides to ask Rei a question.

"Rei, if I am the man with the seven scars, what will you do?"


NANI?!

(What?!)

...



"That's not funny."

Rei says he's a man who's lived among these monsters, and can judge a man just by looking at his eyes. Kenshiro smiles, and Mamiya is relieved the two aren't about to kill each other.

The Fang King finds out that Gibara and his force have all been killed. He tells Gojiba to show him where the South Star man's sister is. The Fangs head over to a large building, and go inside it. They find the master of the place: an ex-wrestler.

The wrestler seems amused someone would be stupid enough to break into his place. The Fang King tells him he believes a girl called Airi is here. He wants him to had her over to the Fang clan. The wrestler puts a boot into the Fang King's face, and tells him to look around -there are several men here. The Fang King tells him to look around.

The other Fangs kill the men. The wrestler says Airi cost him one month's worth of food to buy, there's no way he just handing her over. He tears off a pillar, and says that he used to be the undefeated champion of the underworld pro-wrestling death matches!

He slams the pillar over the Fang King's head. The Fang King asks if that's it, and breaks the pillar into pieces. He then grabs the wrestler, and says that it's his turn now.

He headbutts the wrestler a couple of times, killing him. Gojiba then says that Airi is behind this curtain.

The Fang King pulls the curtain away, and says that Airi is quite lovely. Airi says that he must be her new master, and says she'll do anything he says. The Fang King says his clan always takes revenge, and those protectors will now sleep in fear and tremble, as they gradually taste their terror. Airi promises she won't run away, and asks them what they want her to do. The Fang King starts to laugh.
