akaza vs rengoku

The night was illuminated only by the moon, high above the derailed train. The air was heavy, filled with ash and the smell of blood.

In front of us, two figures faced each other with a power that made us shudder: Akaza, the Upper Moon Three, and the Pillar of Fire, Kyojuro Rengoku.

Rengoku, his sword engulfed in blazing flames, took a firm step forward. "As long as I breathe, I won't let any of you fall!" he roared, and the fire lit up the entire darkness.

Akaza smiled with that terrifying calm of his. —Your strength is admirable, Pilar… but your destiny is to die tonight.

I stood next to Tanjiro and Inosuke. I felt the ground shake every time their swords clashed. The heat of the flames and the icy wind from Akaza's blows hit us as if we were in the middle of a hurricane.

"We can't intervene, we'd be cut down in a second!" Tanjiro said, his eyes wide.

Inosuke, gripping his katanas, shouted: —Tsk! I want to get in the fight! I can't stand watching anymore!

I held his arm, although my heart was also burning with desire to help. —No, Inosuke! If we go in, we'll just be a hindrance. We have to trust Rengoku…

Suddenly, a blow from Akaza kicked up a cloud of dust and nearly knocked us over. That demon's strength was inhuman. But Rengoku didn't back down: his eyes shone with determination.

Every movement he made was pure fire, every scream seemed to ignite our souls. Watching him fight was like watching a hero who knew no fear.

I looked at Tanjiro and, with a lump in my throat, I said: —Whatever happens… let us never forget this night.

He nodded with tears in his eyes, as the battle raged before us like a sun in the midst of darkness.

(Go on, I'm out of ideas:<)
