Zemaku, you think your life is over now? Joe said before lunging towards Zemaku with his flamsword. "It's nothing but a bad, bad dream," Joe continued, knocking Zemaku to the ground with his elbow on his left hand. "Afraid to lose it all somehow," Joe continued, as Lea launched a fireball straight towards him. Joe blocked it with his flamsword. "And you don't know what it means," he added cryptically.

Zemaku got up and realized that Joe's cryptic speech seemed to be taken from song lyrics. I’ll have to think about that later, Zemaku thought to himself, and shot a laser directly at Joe. Joe's aura seemed to surge for a split second before he vanished and reappeared behind Zemaku.

"But I’ll tell you how it all will end," Joe said. "Now you may think you’ll win soon, but Thumb will be victorious, and the battle will be ours." He altered the song lyrics slightly, almost as if he were changing destiny itself, as if this were all to conjure Thumb's goal into reality.

"Come on!" Zemaku said. Lea, Toji, and Goki tried to help, but Zemaku stopped them, telling them to go get Ren, insisting that he would deal with Joe. Reluctantly, Lea, Toji, and Goki agreed, but not before Goki complained, "I can’t believe I have to help that bastard Ren!"

I guess he must feel betrayed that Ren joined my side months ago, Zemaku thought, but he paid Goki no mind.

"So, Zemaku, you end up fighting a meaningless battle," Joe said. "Come on, Zemaku, I have a proposition for you. Join me; join Thumb. Trust me, you were born for this. Thumb is justice, and he will make sure that you become a high-ranking warrior with your talents."

Zemaku laughs for a bit. "Born for this?"

he asks in a sly, sarcastic manner. "I was born to kick Thumb's ass," Zemaku said sternly.

"Oh, is that so?"

Joe said. "I guess I was barking up the wrong tree. Oh well, I was hoping we could become friends again, just like the good old days, but I guess those days are long gone."

Zemaku and Joe lunge at each other, switching to hand-to-hand combat. Zemaku launches a barrage of punches, but they do not seem to phase Joe. Then, Zemaku decides enough is enough, and just as he is about to launch his laser gun, Joe is two steps ahead and slashes at Zemaku's hand with his flamesword. For some odd reason, it does not cut his hand off; however, it does cause third-degree burns.
