Back to where we left off

We see Ben, Zenitsu and Shoichi running looking for Tanjiro

Zenitsu: Where's Tanjiro? I can still hear that creepy sound. Just stay safe, Tanjiro!

Shoichi: Um, Zenitsu, is it just me,or are we just going around and around in circles?

Ben started to notice it too

Ben: He's right.

Zenitsu: I knew it! I was getting the same feeling! That's my boy, Shoichi! I knew I could count on you!

Shoichi: All right, could you check to see if this room is safe?

Zenitsu: Why? How come Ben can't check them out?

Ben: Because he asked you too. And who knows there might not be any demons room.

Zenitsu opened the door and saw no one

Zenitsu: There's no one. Let's go this way! Tanjiro, come out now!

They heard a drum sound as the room turned upside down and they were falling

Zenitsu: Th-The room... Just flipped!

They were falling and Ben activated the Omnitrix and transformed into a bug like alien with the Omnitrix on his head

"Stinkfly!"

He caught Shoichi and the unconscious Zenitsu

He dropped them on as he slapped the Omnitrix symbol on his head and changed back into Ben

Shoichi: Ben San? Are you a demon?

Ben: No I'm not a demon but I'll tell you.

Back to Tanjiro

The tsuzumi demon was giving Tanjiro a hard time at he hits the tsuzumi on his shoulder.

Tanjiro: I can do it! I know I can do it! I'm a guy who gets things done!

Tanjiro was trying to get up but he heard his backbone crack

Tanjiro: Broken bones or not... No matter what... I can do it! I can fight!

The demon kept doing the same thing

Tanjiro: Show him how unstoppable you are! Even with broken bones!

The demon hits his shoulder and the room started to rotate again then he hits his stomach and Tanjiro grabbed the sailing light

Tanjiro: It's no good! Nothing's changed at all! Motivation alone isn't going to get me anywhere! Your head... Use your head, not just motivation!

He sees claw marks heading towards him

Tanjiro: Think! Think! Think!

Tanjiro let's go of the sailing light and the room doors fell

Tanjiro: Close call! I barely survived that one!

Tsuzumi demon: Damn! So annoying! I need the marechi! There's no time to lose!

The demon hits the tsuzumi again and Tanjiro fell on the ground again.

Tanjiro: There isn't even time to stop and think!

Tanjiro dodged his attack

Tanjiro: Hey you! What's your name?

Tsuzumi demon: Kyogai.

Tanjiro: Kyogai! I'm not handing over Kiyoshi... The marechi to you! I won't cave in! I'm not going to give up!

Kyogai started to have flashbacks of his past
