The group becomes known across fractured dimensions as the Five Blades of Fate, a united force holding back Rewrite Waves. Akuzai resists taking command, still hesitant to lead again. The others gently push him—not toward power, but trust. They camp on the ruins of an ancient Time Nexus, discussing their old dreams. Akuzai confesses he doesn't want to save timelines just to be remembered. He wants to live.
Suddenly, a Rewrite surge attacks the area. The team battles wave after wave of rewritten constructs—reflections of themselves without souls. One enemy, though, bleeds real emotions: a half-Rewritten warrior who remembers both realities. He begs for help, revealing the Prophet is not in control. The Breachwalker, a being from beyond time, is feeding on rewritten versions of Akuzai to reach the Source Timeline—the very origin of Akuzai's legend.
The team is shaken. If the Source Timeline falls, Akuzai will never exist in any reality—and neither will their bond. The stakes rise beyond war. This is about their memories, their truth.
They name their alliance The Fifth Blade—not as a weapon, but as a symbol: together, they are stronger than fate.
