Uneasy Peace
"Wait! Take both of us!"

Denshi begs Hamaji to join, due to his love of Lucia, but Hamaji declines, not wanting to risk losing any more allies. It isn't unitl that night does Denshi meet any trouble.

Raid at Night

Denshi is alerted by the noises of Cora and Sarah Copperfield fighting upstairs, where he walks in on the two tributes locked in combat. Before he can help Cora fight Sarah, Thalia arrives, shooting an arrow at the two. This scares Cora and Denshi off, both running back down stairs.

When they get back downstairs, they are quickly captured by the remaining careers. They plan on executing the members, but the timely arrival of Hamaji, Naida, and Lucia manage to kill off the 4 male and scare the remaining careers away, saving Denshi from a sudden demise.

Taking the Fight Back
"Early in the morning. Before first light. Set the alarm clocks in this resort to 5 AM sharp. We will end them tomorrow."

However, it turns out someone had informed the careers, and they were waiting for the Capitol's Bane. Thalia ends up destroying the boat, standing the Capitol's Bane on the volcanic island as the careers escaped back to the resort on a boat of their own. Stranded on the volcanic island, Denshi begins to have a panic attack about Lucia's fate, who had been left on the resort island to stand guard.

"It's so good to see you!"

At that night, Lucia convinces Denshi to sleep with her, and the two end up having the night of their life.

Building a Canoe
Wanting to retake the resort island back, Hamaji leads the alliance through the jungle of the volcanic island. Denshi finds a good tree to carve a canoe out of, the alliance chopping it down with Cora's chainsaw and hauling it to the beach. Soon though, the ground begins to shake, as the once dormant volcano begins to erupt.

Eruption
"That's when a loud howl rings throughout the island. Everyone turns toward the sound, and realize in horror what the volcano had actually done. Hundreds of the wolves were pouring out of the jungle, the lava driving them from their home. Heading straight towards us, looking for a meal."

- The Volcano erupts Denshi manages to carve the canoe in time, as the Capitol's Bane begin to load up and escape the erupting volcano. Denshi saves Cora from a wolf that had her pinned, helping her get onboard the canoe. Seeing Lucia alone though and not on the boat, Denshi goes back for her, trying to save his lover. When a strong current rips the boat away from Denshi and Lucia, the two realize they are seperated and stranded. After two final words, the lovers prepare to face down the incoming horde of wolves.

Death
"You always had the prettiest eyes..."
