Anime Opening: Knock On Your Gate
At the broken scenario, Tasuku and Light are examining the debris left by the Accident. Meanwhile, the Driver who hit Hou Ren is being sent to the Hospital.
Daryl: Again....He Disappeared....How?
Gwen: Moreover, I can't believe that just happened....
A flashback reveals Hou Ren saving Shiloh from the Car Accident. But the Damage dealt to him was...indescribable.
Hou Ren's Mother: I still cannot believe our son did that.
Hou Ren's Father: He's grown.
While the conversation goes on, Tasuku & Light continues to examine the debris.
Light: Any Luck?
Tasuku: No....this isn't going to be easy. Light, I'm afraid we may need a few battery boost.
Light: Not to mention a suitable network. We need to head back.
Tasuku: Yes. Everyone Back to Ship. That's An Order.
Everyone heads back to the Airship as per Order. Gwen however feels very insecure and afraid after witnessing Hou Ren's actions.
Gwen: (Thought) What happened if I was the one...(Thought)
Eden: Is Something Bothering You Gwen?
Gwen: Just very shocked that....well you know what it is.
Eden: You're not fooling me. But it's fine. You and I have something in common when it comes to our friend here.
Gwen: Interesting?
While This Conversation Goes On, Daryl, Ranma and Masato are just thinking weird while overhearing their conversation.
Masato: Is it me or?
Daryl: Nope. You're not the only one.
Ranma: Yep. (Thought In Worry) Why won't you talk to us man? We just want to help you. (Thought End)
Back at the Mansion, Hou Ren's Brothers along with Shiloh's are waiting sternly at the living room.
Sensei: What's taking them so long...
Suddenly, A portal opens on the ceiling, catching everyone's attention. Shiloh and an injured Hou Ren came out of it. Shiloh somehow land on Hou Ren's back.
Shiloh: Ahhh...Owww...
Blaze Ren: There You Are....wait.....(notices Hou Ren's wounds) OH MY GOSH!!! (Checks On Him) Are you Okay?
Garga: WHAT? (Rushes In & Checks In) MY GOODNESS. What Happened To You? Are You Okay?
He is so wounded as he struggled to move. Blood comes out of it, leaving Garga very horrified.
Hou Ren: Erghhh...Yeah...But...I need help.
Everyone's very shocked, except for you know who.
Lost Ren: (Annoyed) What did you do this time?
Elijah: Yeah and Why is Shiloh with you? Are you two dating?
Shiloh: Shut Up Eli. We need to take him to a doctor.
Magician: No. I'll handle this. Come On Hou Ren, Stay with me. (Carries Him To A Sofa and prepares a spell) Healius Maxim.
The spell activates and roams from Hou Ren's feet to his head. During the Process, all of his wounds, scars and bruises are healed. Everyone is very surprised. However, his stamina is still drained.
Hou Ren: Thanks....Magician.
Judah: What is that spell?
Magician: My most powerful healing spell. Capable of healing even scars. It's not easy when it comes to learning it but it gets the job done after a few weeks of practice.
Micah & Judah: Cool...
Kaizer: Still....(turn to his leader) what happened to you?
Hou Ren breaths and drinks a cup of hot water. When finished, he and Shiloh look at each other eye to eye sadly. Hou Ren then turned his attention back to his peers.
Hou Ren: Okay, basically...
(Scene Transition)
Trickstar Ren: So after you both notice the Commissioner arriving, you decide to flee.
Sensei Ren: Along the way, a car was about to end Shiloh's Life before you pushed her out of the way & took the hit.
Lost Ren: And despite your injuries, you slowly gets back up and threw a smoke bomb before escaping through a portal.
Shiloh: I tried to stop him from getting up injured but he did it otherwise.
Elijah: Oh man.....(Proceeds to look at Shiloh) How long were you two dating?
Shiloh:(Blushing with guilt) About like a week.
Daniel: A WEEK? You should have....
Shiloh: (Interrupts) What difference will it make, you still wouldn't have approved.
Everyone was surprised, including Hou Ren himself.
Shiloh: He saved my life even in a terrible state. He cared for me and gave me attention. He's more than just himself. Disapprove then fine. I still want to be with him.
Hou Ren: (Feeling Moved) Shiloh...
Shiloh: (Turns around) I don't care what anyone says. (Wrap around Hou Ren's neck) You're a man of your word. That's more than enough.
Shiloh hugs him tight and Hou is semi-stunned but he hugs her back while smiling. Everyone's a bit surprised while Elijah becomes stern.
Elijah: Normally I don't approve. But...seeing that you saved her life...I'll allow it.
Hou Ren & Shiloh: (After letting each other go) Elijah.....
Elijah: Promise us you'll keep her safe from harm's way. Big Time.
Judah and the rest of his brothers agreed.
Hou Ren: (Nods) I will. I promise.
Kaizer Ren: (Interrupts) Okay Sorry for Ruining This Moment. In case you guys forgot, our cover's been blown.
Blaze Ren: Kaizer's right. (Punches his fist while feeling enraged) I CAN'T BELIEVE THEM. LIKE JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE ARE FREE, WE GOT PULLED BACK IN. I SWEAR, THEY JUST REALLY WANT US TO SUFFER LIKE BAD. LET ME AT THEM. I'LL SHOW THEM WHAT SUFFERING IS.
Sensei Ren: Can you don't? (sigh) I knew they would come but I didn't expect it would be this soon.
Hou Ren: (Surprised) Wh. (Angry) You knew and you didn't tell me about this?
Magician Ren: Bro. Them coming = bad news. We don't want to drop the bombshell in.
Hou Ren: I can see that but still...I just can't believe it. Like.....
The knights starts arguing.....
Shiloh: Guys!!!! Just calm down. It doesn't matter who found out what. We need to focus on what to do now.
Everyone is surprised by what Shiloh's said, leaving her confused.
Shiloh: What?
Agent Ren: Hate to say it but Shiloh's right. We need to plan. NOW.
Lost Ren: (Turns to Hou Ren) It's your call. What do you want to do?
Hou Ren: (Thought for a while then sighed) Honestly, I.....have no words. But I don't have a choice....(Turn Serious and Deadly) We Fight.
At the teacher's office, Ms Pauline was looking at a few footage of the Playoffs at her table. She was mostly observing Hou Ren's matches and as she does, she remembers well about her meeting with Hou Ren's Mother.
Flashback.....
Ms Pauline: Hou Ren you take that back right now. You know what you said is hurting Ms Shafi.
Hou Ren: I don't care, it's the truth. No matter what I do, I'm getting scolded.
Ms Pauline: Lies. Do you have any proof for that?
Hou Ren: Well....
Ms Pauline & Hou Ren's Mother: Then Sit Down and Be Quiet.
Hou Ren grunts....
Flashback End.
Ms Pauline: Even though he doesn't have proof, maybe I should have gone undercover.....Moreover.....(remembers the times she scolded him) What had I done.....
Ms Lydia and Ms Ruth came in while chit chatting....
Ms Lydia: And then I was like.....(notices Ms Pauline) Oh, Ms Pauline I didn't see you there.
Ms Pauline: (Realizes) Wha.....oh, it's you two.
Ms Ruth: Is everything alright dear hon?
Ms Pauline: Yes I'm okay. I'm just...(sigh) I wish I can apologize to him....
Ms Lydia: Oh.....Now that you mentioned it, my class.....It's like a quiet library.
Ms Ruth: Yes.....Hou Ren is a bad student sometimes, but he is still a good person.
Ms Lydia: His skills in buddyfight are no exception.....But now he's changed. We are part of the reason why.
Ms Pauline: True.....why did we stop him from leaving...was it to imprison him? Or was it to gain his trust?
Ms Ruth: Speaking of which, how's the search coming along?
Ms Pauline: Daryl Texted Me. He said they found him but he disappeared again.
Ms Ruth: How does he keep doing that?
Ms Pauline: I don't know.....I really wish he can come home. I miss him.....
The two then comfort their friend by tapping on her shoulder. Now at the Air Ship, which is floating mid-air in the skies, Tasuku and Light are still investigating where Hou Ren is. Ranma then somehow notice something through the window.
Ranma: What the..... Commissioner, Look there.
Tasuku: (Grabs some binoculars) Is that...Trickstar.
Light: What should we do?
Tasuku: Pilot, find somewhere to land first.
Pilot: Yes Commissioner.
The Pilot then proceeds to land the airship.
Tasuku: Listen up, this seems like a trap ahead but I suggest we secretly follow Trickstar. It could be our only chance to find him. Is everyone ready?
All: Yes.
Tasuku activates the airship door and Trickstar walking in front of them. They secretly follow him. Along the way, they notice him entering a Mansion. They manage to get in without being spotted. However, it was empty. The only thing they saw is furniture.
Daryl: Since when Hou Ren is this rich to buy this Mansion?
Hou Ren's Father: I don't know.
Natalie: I think there might be booby traps. Be careful.
Tasuku: Good point.
Suddenly Gwen notices something on the ground. A Launchpad or some sort.
Gwen: Wait, what's that? (Points at the launchpad)
Tasuku: Hmmm, stand back everyone. Light, with me.
Light and Tasuku wear gloves and examine the launchpad. Light notices a part of the launchpad is not moved correctly.
Light: Commissioner, I found this.
Tasuku: Interesting.....this launchpad might activate if we move this part correctly.
Ranma: Which might take us to where Hou Ren is.
Daryl: How do we even know, just because Trickstar entered this building doesn't mean this will bring us to Hou Ren.
Natalie: Depends, but we'll never know until we try.
Hou Ren's Father: I agree. It's our only chance.
Everyone else nodded.
Tasuku: Then Light, do the honors.
Light moves the part of the launch pad to its correct position. Suddenly the launchpad activates while everyone stands on it. The Launchpad glows and everyone is teleported away. Suddenly, everyone has land in some sort of hallway of an unknown space. There were cyan pillars stuck to cyan walls. Basically, the environment is all Cyan.
Masato: Woah....
Everyone was shocked and surprised at the atmosphere they're in.
Tasuku: This is...new.
???: DON'T I GET A HELLO FOR DROPPING UNANNOUNCED?
Ranma: I know that voice!!!
Suddenly, a hologram of Hou Ren appears right in front of them. He was looking serious. Despite being a hologram, he wears a white long streamlined buttoned trench coat with a black shirt inside. The collar was up, coat was short sleeved and the Draknight's symbol is shown on his coat. He also wears black trousers.
Everyone: (Shocked) Hou Ren !!!
Anime Ending: Yume no Hikari Kimi no Mirai.
