Chapter 4
Flashback
(It is the setting of the warehouse in chapter 1, and Ryoga leaves as Aisoku’s eyes turn red)
Tetsuma: “What do you see, Seda?”
Aisoku: “Ryoga was pretending.”
Black Lion 1: “I told you not to trust that guy. He just looks like bad news.”
Tetsuma: “He was pretending how?”
Aisoku: “Ryoga went out from us because he was not of us. Had he been of us, he would have remained with us. His reverence for me was just an act, so he could remain with us to get the information he wanted. He had an agenda from the beginning.”
Black Lion 2: “So now what?”
(The hooded men wait for Aisoku’s orders)
Aisoku: “We go to Germany.”
Black Lion 3: “I’ve always wanted to see Germany.”
Aisoku: “Tetsuma, I’d like to see you privately.”
(Aisoku and Tetsuma have a 1 on 1 conversation)
Aisoku: “I have a question for you, Tetsuma. What is the final door of muga?”
Tetsuma: “Is this a trick question? You told me there are two doors. The Pinnacle of Perfection, and the Pinnacle of Destruction. . .”
Aisoku: “What if I told you those were merely the prerequisites of an ultimate final door?”
Tetsuma: “!!”
Germany
(Tezuka and Tetsuma are clashing, and the score is tied at 4-4)
Tetsuma: “Tezuka, if you can’t defeat me, then you have no chance.”
Tezuka: “. . . “
(Tezuka smashes the ball)
Tetsuma: “You see, you and I have achieved a state that not many people have. However, there is a final door beyond what we have accomplished, called the Pinnacle of Glorification. There is only one man in the world that has ever found it, let alone walked through it.
(Tetsuma smashes the ball back and rally continues)
Tezuka: “Echizen Nanjiroh?”
(Tetsuma smirks)
Tetsuma: “No, Nanjiroh gave up when he reached the Pinnacle of Perfection. “
Tezuka: So who is it?
(Tetsuma hits a forehand dropshot aiming to the right as Tezuka runs to where the ball will land. All of a sudden as the ball is on his racquet, he is able to slice instead and change directions and gets the point)
5-4
Tetsuma: “Our leader.”

Tachibana: [[ I need to get this before it hits the ground ]]
(Tachibana runs and jumps in the air in his Abare Dama stance)
Shiraishi: “!!”
Tachibana: “Lions Roar!”
(Tachibana smashes the ball with the frame of his racquet. Double the normal amount of (abare dama) balls appears, flying towards Shiraishi in the likeness of a lion’s head opening his mouth. Shiraishi becomes struck with fear by the intimidating attack and cannot move)

Sanada: “Burn black, like hellfire!”
([BA]Sanada spins and ground-smashes the ball, as the shot turns black)
Oni: “No, I refuse!”
(Oni connects with the ball with his frame but struggles with the power of it)
Oni: “Take this! BLACK TOMAHAWK!”
(Oni returns with his strongest shot)
Oni: “You’ll never return that shot, boy.”
(Sanada then teleports and appears to be in the air, falling downward in the Rai position)
Oni: “!!”
Sanada: “DARK LIGHTNING!”
(Sanada does a downward slash as he reaches the ground, and releases a massive black lightning bolt directly at Oni)
Oni: “!!!”
(The ball knocks the racquet out of Oni’s hand and cracks the frame)

Sanada: “Same to you.”

Echizen: “Heh. . .”
(Echizen jumps up and smashes all the balls except two)

(Kazuya struggles but manages to hit all of them back)

(A serious Irie smashes and gets a point)
30-0
Irie: “What now, Yukimura?”
(Yukimura is out of breath)
Yukimura: “Impossible. . .”
Irie: “Your tricks are just mind games. Unfortunately, you are playing against someone who understands the human mind better than most. My mental control is too high to be effected by your ability.”
Yukimura: “I see…well then.”
(Yukimura’s face changes)
Yukimura: “I’ll just have to win without it.”
