Now that Myst gave back Ban's body, we can see his real appearance: that of a gazeous monster, pure dark combative spirit. Myst was created in the malefic world. Fuam is angry that Poppu and Brokin have been killed by that monster and dashes towards Myst, but her punch simply goes through Myst. Myst then penetrates Fuam's body and takes possession of it. The others try to stop Myst but Myst uses Fuam's powers without bothering about hurting her body. Aban invokes Lightning of the virtual sky to free Fuam, but Myst left her body and now attempts to take possession of Hyunkel's body. Aban again tries his technique, but Myst counters it. Myst penetrates Hyunkel's body to destroy Hyunkel's soul. He explains that he saved Hyunkel and trained him only to take possession of his body later, when Ban would ask his back. But Hyunkel previewed Myst's intentions and concentrated his combative spirit to destroy Myst. That's how Myst dies in Hyunkel's body. When Aban comes near Hyunkel to help him stand up, Hyunkel asks Aban what he means to Aban. Aban answers: "You're my pride!"
Ban destroys the rests of his cane saying he won't need it anymore. Fly asks why Ban doesn't attack immediately. Ban asks Fly to wait for 10 seconds. Ban starts counting. Suddenly Fly feels some healing magic. It is the Behoma of Leona that took effect only now! Fly understands that Ban wants to fight at full power. Fly prepares for Giga Slash. Ban immediately takes a special pose: THE UNIVERSAL MALEFIC GUARD. Fly feels it isn't a simple technique, but he's certain that Giga slash will damage Ban. Fly attacks, Ban blocks his sword with Phoenix wing, tries to slice Fly with CALAMITY END - fortunately Fly dodges, well he thinks he dodged... - and then invokes Kaiser Phoenix. Fly falls on the ground. Ban steps towards Leona, explaining her TENCHIMATO, Ten stands for the sky, the attack or Calamity end, Chi stands for the earth, the protection or Phoenix wing and finally Ma stands for the use of the malefic force, that is Kaiser Phoenix. Ban asks Leona to join him in the malefic world to tell Ban's exploits. Leona refuses, saying she prefers to die with Fly. Fly tries to stand up to stop Ban, but then his shoulder is cut and is bleeding heavily! Ban did hit him with Calamity End in the previous attack. Even Dragonic Aura couldn't stop Calamity End. As Leona still refuses to join Ban, Ban starts torturing Fly before her eyes. But Leona reacts and cuts in Ban's arm with her glaive. Ban is upset and a beam of light from his middle eye perfores Leona's heart. Fly thinks he killed her, but Ban made something even more horrible. He enclosed Leona in a little ball called malefic sphere. She will not be able to get out of it and will have to watch the spectacle of Fly's agony, without being able to look up the other side!! Ban tries to enclose Fly in a malefic sphere too, but it doesn't work on Fly. Seemingly it only works on weak people and Fly seems to have yet enough power to fight Ban. Ban attacks Fly with Calamity end. Fly is only able to dodge the attacks without responding to them. At the crucial moment, Poppu saves Fly.
Poppu, Aban, Fuam, Rafaruto, Hym, Hyunkel, Krokodin, Brokin and Chiu came to help Fly. Angry Ban again emits a beam with his third eye. Only Poppu, Aban, Hym and Rafaruto are left over. The others where too weak to fight against Ban. Ban is ready to take them all at the same time. He demonstrates his powers by making the earth shake and the sky roll. In this way he takes the universal malefic guard. Fly tries to prevent his friends from attacking Ban, but Poppu holds Fly and heals him, while Aban, Rafaruto and Hym dash on Ban. They are all smashed on the ground by Tenchimato !! Poppu observed how Ban executed his technique. Ban is glad that Aban is to weak to fight anymore and also uses his beam on Aban. But before being transformed into a ball, he warns Ban there is somebody smarter than him. Poppu promises Aban that he will defeat Tenchimato. Poppu understood the technique of Ban. Ban never attacks when he takes the pose for Tenchimato. He just waits for his opponents to fall in his trap. But Ban quickly changes his posture. Poppu quickly asks Rafaruto and Hym to give him their lives!!! But our friends are projected against the walls.
Ban invokes Calamity wall to finish them, but Hym and Rafaruto manage to pass through it and give their lives to give Poppu a chance to unveal the weak poiny of Ban's technique. Ban seeing the determination of Hym and Rafaruto indeed adopts the posture of Tenchimato and beats Hym and Rafaruto. But what is that coming towards him now? Medoroa! Ban tries to react but his hand is blocked, Medoroa is coming closer and closer. Ban is sweating. PHOENIX WING !!! Ban finally managed to project Medoroa in the air. He rejoices that nor Giga Slash nor Medoroa could harm him. But when he looks at Poppu and Fly he can see their determination. They are prepared to fight. Poppuy warns Ban that this time they will defeat Tenchimato! Because Poppu found that after Ban has invoked Tenchimato he needs a short lapse of time to reconcentrate his energy. That's why he invoked Medoroa, to show Fly that precise time. Poppu advises Ban to use a more classic technique to beat them. Upset, Ban decides to accept Poppu's provocation. But he transforms Hym and Rafaruto in malefic spheres.
Poppu says he will measure himself to Tenchimato so that Fly can finish Ban. He prepares Iora and puts some magic power in his cane. Ban says he will counter Iora with Phoenix wing and then break Poppu's cane with Calamity end. At that moment he will be without defense against Kaiser Phoenix and will burn together with Fly. But Poppu still wants to take the risk. Fly is confident that Poppu will succeed and gets ready. Poppu reminds Ban that if they came so far it is because of the help of all the people they met during their quest. Without them they wouldn't be able to fight now against Ban. And even when they are far away or can not communicate with them, there is still a tie binding them all. It is the strength of this tie that permitted them to fight against Ban now. Ban laughs at what Poppu says telling this tie won't kill him, if they want to kill him they have to do it with their force!!
Poppu dashes on Ban and everything happens as Ban predicted, Poppu ends with Kaiser Phoenix plus his own Iora in the chest. Ban laughs because he's victorious, but suddenly Kaiser Phoenix and Iora are reflected by the mirror of Shabal which was around Poppu's chest. Ban is burning in his own flames. Poppu received the mirror from Sigma before he died. Now everything depends on Fly. "Kill him Fly!!" Fly invokes Aban slash, but Ban destroys the flames and prepares to counter Aban slash. But Fly arrives and invokes a second slash: SLASH CROSS!!! Ban's arm is cut off, without it Ban will not be able to invoke Tenchimato anymore. But Fly doesn't stop there. He climbs on Ban's back and perfores his chest (passing through one of Ban's tree hearts) and starts invoking Raiden. He wants to kill Ban, risking his own life. Ban says it is useless. Fly replies it's not. But Ban shows Fly the interior of the central of the Ban Palace. He says there is still one pillar left, which he can control with his magic power. Fly invokes Raiden in series to stop Ban but in vain. The pillar of Ban falls where Flora and the others are.
Ban planned the whole thing from the beginning. He invited all the great of the world to come here. In this way he avoided them to reach the other pillars. The pillars form a hexagon. The malefic hexagon. Only ten minutes are left till the explosion. Fly won't be able to handle six pillars alone in such a short time. "Tomorrow, the sun will rise to shine over the malefic world! That Fly, is the conclusion!!!"
Fly falls lifeless on the ground, everything was vain from the beginning. Furious, Poppu shouts. The earth starts to shake, nothing can stop the explosion anymore!!
Ban is relishing his victory when suddenly something appears. It is a statue of Veruza, the king of dragons. Though Veruza was killed by Baran, his spirit is immortal and he still waits for his body to regenerate. Veruza congratulates Ban for his achievement. Ban says Veruza was too hasty, that's why he has been beaten by Baran and enclosed by the celestial spirits. Ban was much more patient and prepared carefully his plan to destroy the world. Veruza wanted to destroy the Earth before Ban, but failed. Ban says that Veruza completely missed cause Kilvan is also dead now. Veruza ordered Kilvan to serve Ban, and when the opportunity presented itself, to kill Ban. Ban and Veruza hated the gods and decided to overthrow them. That's how their rivality started. Ban reminds that the destruction of the Earth is not in the disadvantage of Veruza... Ban proposes to attack the celestial world to free Veruza. Veruza disappears, and Ban laughs:"Are you vexed, Veruza? Wahahahaharf!... My rivals, the pests created by the gods, I have them all under my feet, that's the perfect victory!!"
"Don't give up Poppu!",... That voice? It's Meruru! She's alive, but the pillar?... Just before the explosion Meruru woke up and warned everybody for the danger. It seems during her sleep Meruru developed a new power. She has the ability to feel the same things as Poppu, she is in direct communication with him. She explains Ron and Nova are at the pillar to stop the explosion. They found it is possible to freeze the malefic nucleus with Hyado. But Ban says it is not sufficient to freeze one pillar. If the others explode they will activate the frozen one too. Poppu tries to escape with Rura to freeze the other pillars, but as the magic pentacle was destroyed by the pillar, Minakator doesn't work anymore. And the protection of the Ban palace works again. Poppu falls on the ground, bleeding from his forehead.
On Earth people ar hurrying to stop the other pillars, but there are not enough people. Poppu still stands up to fight against Ban. Ban takes him and throws him on the ground asking Poppu why it is so difficult for him to give up? Poppu asks Ban how long he can live. Ban is surprised. Poppu tells the following:
"How long can you live Ban? Thousands of years? Millions? Or maybe you are immortal? Compared to your life ours may seem like a firework! When I was 5 or 6 years old, I thought for the first time about death. Where do we go after life? The more I thought about it, the more I was scared. I began to cry in the middle of the night. My parents were woken and came to see what was the trouble. I started to ask them why people had to die, why they couldn't live for ever? I didn't understand why and started to cry. My mother took me in her arms hugged me and said: "Everybody dies one day, that's why everybody lives doing his best!". For you who live in the ether, the life of humans must be like a firework, so even if we now the outcome of the battle, we continue to resist! We continue to do our best to survive! Fifty years to live or five minutes, it's the same! Just one second to burn to live longer! That's our way of living! IMPRINT THIS ON YOUR MEMORY, CUNT !!!"
" When I was totally depressed, when I nearly completely abandoned, the person who always gave me hope, who always gave me the courage to stand up again, is my best friend: POPPU!!!"
