Kaneki came to stop, doubling over gasping for breath. He had been running through the once marvelous city for about an hour and still he couldn't find anyone. Aside from the small explosions that went off occasionally, it was almost like the city was deserted.

A couple minutes later and he was running again. He passed the corpses of CCG agents, soldiers, heros and civilians and yet he still did not stop. A soft wheeze of pain that would have gone unnoticed if it wasn't for his enhanced senses caught his attention. Clambering up the rubble he searched and searched for the origin of the noise. Just as he was about to give up he heard it once more, about a metre or so to his left.
Frantically, Kaneki heaved at the stone and threw away the wooden planks that were once an office building. At last he pulled the barely breathing body of Ayato out of the rubble.

"Thanks a lot." Ayato coughed.

"Your welcome. Do you know where the others are?"

"Both Takizawa and Amon fell to the Beast Reaper. I saw Merlin fighting someone earlier but that was about it."

"Damn."

"Looking for me?" Called out eight different voices.

Kaneki turned to face the Beast Reaper, rage on his face. The Beast Reaper had lost one of the arms on his right, leaving him with fifteen arms in total. Standing at approximately twelve feet tall and four wide he was an terrifying opponent for sure.

The two monsters stared eachother down for several minutes, neither willing to give in. Ultimately Kaneki was the first to break away, he charged at his enemy, Quinqane in one hand and fire in the other. Using Endeavour's Hellflame as a destraction, Kaneki swung his weapon into the Beast Reaper's wounded side and severed another arm clean off. However, the Reaper was expecting this and brought his own Quinqane crashing down, breaking Kaneki's left shoulder. Shards from Ayato's Ukaku peppered the Reaper, causing him to back away giving Kaneki a chance to recover.

'Even down and out Ayato keeps up the fight.' Kaneki thought and smiled. That man never ceased to amaze him.

"Master, I am here to be of assistance." Kurogiri said, suddenly warping next to him.

"What are you doing here. I need you to be at the 24th incase shit hits the fan."

"Master Aizawa ordered me to assist, plus there are a couple people who had something to say."

Kurogiri opened another portal and out stepped Tomura Shigaraki, Touya Todoroki and Tsukiyama.

"It does not matter how many of you there are, I will kill you the same." The Beast Reaper snarled.

"We will see about that." Touya snapped.

The Beast Reaper charged and was engulfed in blue flames. Tomura slammed his hands on the ground and waves of Decay slammed into the Reaper's legs. Tsukiyama activated his Kagune and began attacking the Reaper's Quinqane. Ayato kept up his rain of attacks, causing small amounts of damage with every barrage. Kaneki added his own flames to the mix and charged in his his own Quinqane.

The Beast Reaper regenerated the damage almost as fast as it could be delt and attacked back. It kicked Tomura in the head, knocking him out and stabbed Touya in the stomach. The Reaper them burried it's Quinqane deep into the chest of Tsukiyama.

"I.. I will not die until I have a taste of Kaneki's flesh!" Tsukiyama screamed and pushed back against the Reaper.

"Just die already!" The Reaper yelled.

The Quinqane began to glow softly before firing a beam of energy through Tsukiyama. The Gourmet staggered backwards and toppled onto the ground.

"My... sweet dear... Kaneki." He gasped before going still.

"You bastard!" Kaneki yelled and ran at the Reaper. It had taken to many of his friends already.

The Reaper slashed through Kaneki's armoured clothes like it was nothing and drew blood. Snarling, Kaneki activated his Kakuja and sliced through several of the Reaper's arms. With only three Ames remaining, the Reaper darted out of the reach of the Kakuja, before coming back in and slicing them off his back.

The Reaper then foolishly grappled onto Kaneki's back and put its Quinqane beneath his chin.

"Long live the King." The Reaper said sarcastically.

Smirking, Kaneki speared the Reaper with his Kagune and beheaded him in one swing of his Quinqane.

'Looks like you were right, Arima.' Kaneki thought as he gazed down at his weapon. 'The Yukimura really did pull its own weight.'

"Master, watch out!" Kurogiri yelled.

Kaneki raised his eyebrow in confusion. A sharp burst of pain shot through his chest and the familiar point of a Narukumai Quinqane protruded out.

"Remember Sensei, I did say I would become the monster necessary to move the world forward." A cold and empty voice said from behind. "Now live forever as a Martyr."

The Narukumai began to heat up and expand, crushing Kaneki's heart and piercing his lungs. The Quinqane fired the built up energy and Kaneki collapsed to the ground.

As a cold sensation filled his body, a familiar glowing hand reached down in front of his face. Grabbing it, he pulled himself up and was embraced by Touka. Breaking out of the embrace he looked around the room. Everyone was here. Uta, Endeavour, Tsukiyama, Denki and more. Everyone he had loved and lost were here.

"Welcome to the other side daddy." Ichika said cheerfully.
