Fireworks

The day of the battle has finally arrived. Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, Sanosuke, and Megumi all await Enishi and his comrades at the Kamiya Dojo. When night falls upon Tokyo, a small snack is enjoyed, but not for long. Explosions are heard in the sky. Everyone's a bit jumpy, so they quickly look up. Fireworks is all they see. In the summer, it's not unusual to see the night sky light up with colors aplenty, though, something is wrong. What were thought to be duds turn out to be hot-air balloons carrying the enemy.

Enishi, Gein, Kujiranami, Inui, Otowa, and Yatsume float over the Kamiya Dojo like vultures waiting to swoop down at their prey. Kujiranami jumps the gun and leaps out of his balloon. He positions his Armstrong cannon towards the ground, screaming Battousai's name. Kenshin acts swiftly. Using the power of Sanosuke's right fist, Kenshin leaps into the air to meet with the one-armed man.
