It's all ogre till next season.
>Starts with Xiao running from the confrontation with Lang and Shang.
>Runs into Zhen, he recognises SBD which causes him to stop.
>Xiao bullshits his way into getting him to target Shang, hoping to get SBD once more.
>He says Shang is following him and that's all Zhen needs, well that and Xiao's blood to feed SBD.
>Out on the trail, Shang, Gale and Lang are going after Xiao, Gale brings up the point of how Shang will get the sword again and he will use some kind of brush on it.
>Shang also comments how there's alot of specialist in Xi You who helped him gather the swords in the Index.
>They come across Xiao swinging from a rope.
>Zhen awaits them in the demon spine mountains. They come up with a plan.
>Zhen is brooding in the mountains to wait for them. SBD has been unusually quiet but tries to tempt him with more swords from the Index. Instead, Zhen just reiterates his love for her.
>Shang and Zhen finally meet. Zhen says that his destiny has been laid before him and Shang should have killed him when he had the chance.
>Shang again states he's not going to end his life but rather end his fate as Zhen.
>They duel it out as Shang can't see. Gale in all his magnificence decides to help but Zhen sees him and he spins in a circle, showing his hair again.
>They launch a double spin attack. Fails. As long as Zhen has SBD, he continues to be powerful.
>Shang asks Gale weither he trusts him with his life. He says no.
>Shang hands him Soul Edge either way. He hits Shang.
>Gale now controls a boosted up Shang that can go toe to toe with Zhen. He takes delight in this.
>Shang as a proper master allows his body to be controlled and goes against Zhen bare handed.
>Gale comments that his Lunar Creator Vapor is actually Formless Rogue Sword. He can still techniques when using Soul Edge as well.
>SBD has a crisis of faith, she's thinking about what would happen next after he beats Shang here. And she does not like the idea of being stuck with Zhen for eternity.
>She says to Zhen to target the other sword which he does, Puppet Shang goes limp.
>Gale chuckles as he reveals Soul Edge to be his pipe instead.
>He has a metal chain inside the pipe that locks SBD in place, Lang sprints to disarm Zhen.
>Gale tosses Lang the real Soul Edge and he de-puppets Shang.
>Formless Rogue Sword: Specter Shattering, same move he used in his fight against Cao Min?
>Zhen goes to crush Shang's blade but of course it's only made of wood.
>He still uses enough energy to forces SBD from Zhen's hand.
>Shang then uses the brush to 'paint' runes in the sky. Gales tosses SBD there and she starts to fade back into the Index.
>SBD calls for Zhen and since Gale, Shang and Lang have their eyes closed, he spirits and it's reaches for her.
>It's kinda hard to see but he manages to retrieve SBD and fall down a dark chasm with her. Either that or end up in the
>Note that Gale is the first to open his eyes and sees this while Shang and Lang do not. I think. That last little part of the action was jumping between shots.
>Shang says he caught something and that it's in the brush. Did they end up in it? Hmm.
>Heroes meet up with Juan.& Fei. Shang drops the ink into the Index and the result is Zhen's right arm plus the right side of SBD.
>So SBD still lives, though now a single edges sword and Zhen fell down the ravine with her after losing an arm. Heh, they'll show up again.
>Old guy appears and Shang apologizes for the whole mess.
>He brings Shang 3 relics from the fortress. In the event of demonic invasion, please use these swords to repel them. He entrusts them to Shang to put into the Index for safe keeping.
>Juan notes how Shang got rid of Soul Edge and SBD but now got 3 swords in it's place. From Juan's comment I'll assume Soul Edge has been destroyed by Shang, or at least put back into the Index.
>Gale comments how he'd be glad to take one off of Shang's hands. He had fun using Soul Edge, well appear to use.
>Lang's Gutair comments how Ying was just the first henchman sent now Shang's stuck with the Index.
>Big boss man angry at Ying's failure. Calls for an invasion.
>Hai appears and says you're gonna need allies for that.
>Fin.
So Zhen turns into Gollum, with his Hime by his side, Hai is going with Ying's group to invade Dong Li and Shang just so happens to have 3 saintly swords in his possession to fend off demons. Hell of a third season.
