We see a statue of Gwain, which looks like the Statue of Liberty, during a rain storm, we then cut to see Marlow, Savien, Deva, and Agni all on lying on the ground, badly beaten up. We then see Lanney, who is just standing, unbothered by the hard cold rain, as a lightning bolt struck behind her, causing fire to form where it struck, with Lanney STILL not bothered by it. Lanney then opens her eyes, which are glowing.
Earlier that day….
We see Nick sitting at a table in Gwainbucks, where a nervous-looking Lanney places a large bowl of ice cream in front of him, sweating like crazy. Nick then pulls the ice cream towards him and starts eating it.
Nick: "Thanks, Lanney."
Lanney: "You're welcome. And, please, Master Geo, you need to understand."
Nick: "….That, you make good ice cream? Or what happened a few minutes ago? Because if it's the second one, then I don't get it."
This is a few minutes after the end of Chapter 6.
Lanney: (sighs sadly) "It's the second one. I know it's bad to be a fake and hide the truth. But you did it as well."
Nick: "This is NOT about me being half-Vampire, Lanney."
Lanney: "Yes, it's true, I'm really sorry. It's just really hard for me, I'm not happy with my Element. The Element-"
But, as she's talking, a timer shaped like a chicken goes off, preventing us from hearing what Lanney's Element is.
Lanney: (covers her face with her hands in sadness) "Just saying it makes me uneasy."
Nick just has a questioning look on his face, he is keeping the fact he's a Human, or at least, a HALF-Human, from another dimension a secret, but he doesn't understand why Lanney's upset about her Element. He then sighs and wraps Lanney into a warm, gentle, "loving"(?), hug. This makes Lanney smile, seeing that Nick is trying to comfort her.
Lanney: "Master Geo…."
But then….
???: "Well, I hope I'm not interrupting anything."
We then see that the voice is coming from an older woman, maybe in her early 20s, as she watches Nick hug Lanney. This makes Lanney panic.
Lanney: "It's not what it looks like, he's the Princess' bodyguard!"
Woman: "Well, it looks like the idea is not upsetting the Princess."
Hearing this makes Nick and Lanney to look out the window, where they see Ami watching them through the window with a smug look.
Lanney: (panicky walks backwards as a smug Ami is following her from the other side of the window) "Oh, no, no, no, Princess, no….I….This….Umm….Is not…Stop looking at me like that!"
Ami then calmly walks inside.
Lanney: "I can explain, Princess, I swear."
Ami just gives Lanney another smug look.
Ami: (telepathy)
Lanney: "I'd never dare to hug your boyfriend."
Ami: (startled by what Lanney said, telepathy)
Lanney: "And, don't worry, Princess, I haven't told anyone that you and Master Geo….Slept together."
Ami: (even MORE shocked)
A flashback, from this morning, shows Lanney walking to the watchtower holding a bag, as she then sees Gwain.
Lanney: "Good morning, your majesty."
Gwain: "Morning."
Lanney: "What brings you here?"
Gwain: "Ami never returned to the castle last night, I figured she'd be here with Nick."
Lanney: "Oh, I see."
The two then enter the Watchtower, and ride the elevator up to the fiftieth floor. Once there, they see Deva, Marlow, Agni, and Savien huddled together while looking at something.
Lanney: "Good morning, everyone. What's going on?"
Deva just shushes her and points to what they're looking at, and while Gwain was surprised, Lanney was embarrassed by the sight. Nick was sleeping on his coach, with Ami cuddled on top of his chest, also fast asleep. Both still wearing the clothes they wore yesterday (In Chapter 6).
Marlow: "They look so peaceful like this, we thought it'd be wrong to wake them up."
Deva: (holding her phone recording) "They do look cute together like this. I'm kind of jealous of Ami for getting to sleep with Geo."
Gwain: (surprisingly calm, thought) 'If it was any OTHER Human, I'd kill Nick right here, right now. But, seeing as their both fully dressed, it's clear they didn't do THAT last night. But, now I can't help but wonder if they might be secretly dating….I do trust Nick, so it wouldn't really bother me if they were. But, then again, I COULD just be overthinking the situation.'
Just then, Ami started to slowly wake up, with her now sitting on a still sleeping Nick's lap, and tiredly rubbing her eyes. She then sees everyone else looking at her as she waves at them.
Deva: (smug) "Morning, sleepy head. Seems you had a nice sleep last night."
Lanney: (embarrassed) "We're so sorry!"
Ami then looks down, only to see that she's sitting on top of Nick, who is STILL asleep.
Ami: (telepathy)
Lanney: "We didn't know, we didn't mean to interrupt."
Gwain, Marlow, Deva, Agni, and Savien: (thought) 'She's definitely overreacting. It's clear they didn't do THAT last night.'
Ami: (telepathy)
Lanney: "What do you mean, "It's not what it looks like"?!"
During the commotion, Nick slowly starts to tiredly wake up, and slowly raises his head to sit up, only for him to faceplant into Ami's chest, much to Ami's embarrassment, and everyone else's surprise.
Nick: (tired, muffled) "Why is it so dark?"
Gwain: (thought) 'Scratch that. If it was any other MALE ENTIRELY, I would kill Nick on the spot.'
Lanney: (face COMPLETLY flustered by the scene, and runs out of the room) "I'm sorry! I'm sorry!….I'm sorry!….I'm sorry!….I'm sorry!….I'm sorry!…."
Deva: "Wow. Must be a nice wake up, huh, Geo~?"
Nick: (muffled) "Deva, it's too early for you to act like this."
Deva: "As much as I would LOVE for it to be ME~, it's NOT me. I'm over here."
Nick: (muffled) "Marlow?"
Marlow: "No, I'm also over here."
Nick: (muffled) "….Then, who-"
Ami: (telepathy)
Ami then moves off of Nick, allowing him to see that it was her.
Nick: (yawns) "Oh, sorry, Ami."
Ami: (telepathy)
Back to the present….
Nick: (confused) "Wait….That was from this morning, wasn't it?"
Suddenly, a bunch of pink Energy Arrows strick Nick, but don't affect him due to his "Status Effect Immunity", as it was Ami who shot him EXE-Arc in Bow Mode.
Nick: "Seriously, Ami? You know your arrows don't work on me, sense I'm immune to Status Effects."
Ami then angerly looks at Lanney, with her eyes glowing, this making the baker girl nervous.
Lanney: (fears for her life) "Good thing you're doing it with your clothes on again, right?"
Ami: (angry, telepathy)
Lanney: (bends to her knees horrified and crying) "I'm sorry, I thought you two were together! Please, don't be mad. I was actually so happy for you, Princess!"
Ami then hugs Lanney from behind to comfort her. Lanney smiles at this, seeing as Ami isn't made at her anymore, but she then sees Nick glaring at her, making her nervous.
Lanney: "I guess Master Geo has nothing new to tell, huh?"
Nick just sighs and places a small stack of cash to pay for his food, as well as an extra tip, before leaving the restaurant. This makes Lanney uncomfortable.
Time Skip....
We see Lanney still at Gwainbucks with a nervous expression, as Agni then walks in.
Agni: "Hey! How is it going, Lanney?"
Lanney: "Not that good, Mr. Agni."
Agni: "Why's that?"
Lanney: "May I ask you a question?"
Agni then nods "yes".
Lanney: "What would you think if you had a friend who kept a really BIG secret?"
Agni: (summons a ball of fire in his hand, before flicking it with his finger, resulting in it burning another customer.) "It's about Geo, right? About him being a half-Vampire?"
Lanney: "What do you think about something like that?"
Agni: "Well, there will always be secrets between friends. He must have his reasons."
Lanney: "That's pretty similar to what Mr. Savien told me."
Agni: (shocked) "You spoke with that guy?!"
Lanney: "Yes. He's very kind and knowledgeable."
Agni: (concerned) "Tell me, did he do anything to you?"
Lanney: "No, he just listened….why?"
A flashback shows Nick, Agni, and Savien talking in the Watchtower.
Agni: "A wizard? A wizard kidnapped Ami?"
Savien: "I'm not JUST a wizard."
Nick: "But, you DID kidnapped Ami."
Savien: "…."
Agni: "I guess you'd need a wand."
Savien: "Hmhmhm….You're funny, Flame Boy, let's see if you light up with this. Automatic Blinking – Deactivated!"
Just then, Agni started blinking uncontrollably, much to his horror.
Agni: "What? What's going on? (grabs Savien by the collar, while his hair is on fire) What did you do to me, you son of a gun?!"
Savien: "What? Don't you like Magic?"
Agni: "Geo, this punk….Huh?"
We then see Nick, who is completely UNAFFECTED by Savien's spell.
Agni: "Why aren't you effected?"
Nick: "Immunity to Status Effects."
Agni: "You are just way to lucky, and overpowered."
Savien: (chuckles) "Automatic Breathing – Deactivated!"
This causes Agni's hair to go to normal, as he is now trying to catch his breath. Causing him to drop to his hands and knees.
Agni: "What the heck is wrong with me?! Geo….Don't fall for his mind tricks….!"
We see that Nick is completely still unaffected by Savien's spell.
Nick: "Don't worry, Agni, I won't fall for his low-level tricks."
We then see Ami eating some Oreos at the kitchen counter while watching what the boys are doing.
Agni: "Take this Damned spell of me already!"
Savien: "Hahaha! Don't ever underestimate a REAL wizard."
Agni tries to grab Savien's cape, with Nick just watching what's happening, when suddenly, Ami calls out to them, making the three boys look at her. We see Ami holding an Oreo on her left hand's index finger, middle finger, and thumb with her right hand hanging above it. This makes the three boys confused.
Nick: "Um….What are you doing, Ami?"
Ami then lowers her right hand, and taps her index and middle fingers on the Oreo, causing it to disappear. This makes the boys horrified, as Agni flies in a ball of fire, Savien wraps his cap around himself and jumps away, and Nick jumps out the window. Ami then raises her right arm and shakes it, causing the "disappeared" Oreo to fall out of her sleeve and into her left hand, as Ami then munches on it, we also see that the TV is showing a female model dancing.
Back to the present….
Agni: (still traumatized) "Just remembering it makes it hard to breathe."
Then, Deva, and Ami entered Gwainbucks.
Deva: "The opening curtain attendant is ready. (motions to Ami) And we were asked to take "Madoka" as well."
Agni: "We?"
Lanney: "And Master Geo?"
This makes the Fire-Ice Siblings look confused, while Ami just gives Lanney ANOTHER smug look.
Lanney: "Don't give me that smug face!"
Just then, Marlow enters the restaurant, carrying a Leaf Crystal Fragment Book, and her duffle bag.
Marlow: "If you're looking for Geo, I saw him with Gwain a while ago."
We then cut to see Nick training with Gwain.
Gwain: "I seriously don't understand you, Nick. You fight with full power against people like Luna, her robots, and that "Savien" guy, but against someone like even me, you hold back."
Nick: "Guess I just know the difference between friend and enemy. Besides, we're just training, so there's no reason to go all out."
Gwain: "Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Also….Are you and Ami dating, by any chance?"
Nick: (caught off guard) "W-WHAT?! N-No! Me and Ami aren't dating! Why would you ask something like that?!"
Gwain: "Oh? Well, you and Ami DID snuggle together last night….Though, sense you were both fully dressed I could tell you two didn't do THAT, but I couldn't help but wonder if you are in a relationship with Ami."
Nick: "O-Oh….Well, you don't have to worry Gwain. Me and Ami are just friends, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less."
Gwain: "I see. Well, it wouldn't really bother me if you two WERE dating. I do trust you, Nick, so I don't mind if you and Ami decide to date each other."
Nick: "O-Oh….Seriously?" (thought) 'I know Gwain trusts me enough to protect Ami, even though I'm half-Human. But….I didn't think she would trust me THAT much.'
The two then continue their training.
Back with the others….
Marlow: "I don't know if he will make it to the statue's unveiling today or not."
Deva: "Anyway, we'll have to make it all by ourselves."
Agni: (excited) "Do you know what that means, "Elsa"?"
I'll be honest, I don't know HOW these guys know that stupid movie; "Frozen", when they're in a parallel dimension.
Deva: "Wha-"
Agni suddenly interrupted Deva by slapping a sticker on her mouth, which he then places one on Ami/"Madoka"'s hood, one on Lanney's hat, and one on….Marlow's chest.
(Sighs)….I CAN'T with this guy.
Deva: (muffled by the sticker on her mouth) "Hey, what the (dolphin sounds) F***?!"
Agni: (now with a red foot-shaped mark on his face) "This it a job for "The Gwain Warriors"!"
Marlow: ""Gwain Warriors"?"
Deva: (gets the sticker off her mouth) "That's just what we'd call ourselves whenever we took Ami out to play."
Marlow: "Awww, that the sweetest and cutest thing I've ever heard. Wait, Lanney too?"
Agni: "Nah, Lanney only has staring contests with the girl from the other bakery."
We then see that Lanney, is in fact, having a staring contest with another girl, who is in a bakery across the street.
Deva: "Hey, Bun-Bun, we're leaving! Are you going, Marlow?"
Marlow: "I didn't get an invitation."
Agni & Deva: (holding their invites) "We know."
Deva: "Well, we're leaving."
Lanney: "Take care."
Marlow: "See ya."
With that, Ami, Deva, and Agni leave Gwainbucks.
Lanney: "Um, Miss Marlow, may I ask you something?"
Marlow: "Sure, Bun-Bun."
Time Skip….
We see a LARGE crowd in front of a HUGE stage as a male news reporter is talking about the event….While the Male Guest with the Alcohol from Chapter 5 waving at the camera in the background.
News Reporter: "Live from Gwain City, people are eagerly waiting for the Gwain Statue unveiling. (the camera then shifts to Gwain and Ami. But Nick is nowhere to be seen) Not to mention our guest of honor is the Queen, herself, and her adoptive daughter."
We then cut back to the reporter, while the male guest does the walking down stairs behind him to showoff to the camera.
News Reporter: "We'll soon know what time our mysterious hostess will start the unveiling."
We then cut with the camera now showing the "Mysterious Hostess"….Who is no other then Luna.
News Reporter: "This show promises to be full of surprises. We'll keep you up to date. (pushes the male guest away) I'm Joe Tub and you're watching "Gwain News"."
We then see Deva on look out from the top of a pillar while blowing pink bubble gum, which pops, after which she gets a call from Agni.
Agni: (calling from the phone) "Deva, remember when you asked me if I was afraid of heights?"
We then see that Agni is on a different pillar not from the one Deva is at.
Back at the event….
Luna: "Welcome all! Get ready, because the unveiling is about to begin! The curtain will rise to reveal our new monument and the next Moontech Shopping Mall."
Ami looks at Gwain, who looks away nervously.
Back at Gwainbucks....
We see Lanney and Marlow watching the event on the tv.
Lanney: "Umm….Miss Marlow?"
Marlow: "That's right, it's obviously her. Go to the Watchtower and tell Geo."
With that, Marlow dashes off of face Luna.
Lanney: (nervous) "Ehh! Don't! Wait! Oh no, what do I do? Master Geo probably doesn't even WANT to see me.
Back at the event….
We see two mysterious figures.
???1: "u98utu43ujtuvujiujvtuihge5jjijjg." (translation: "Attack when the Queen is distracted.")
???2: "As you commend, Master."
We then see Savien walking on patrol, while holding his invitation.
Savien: "That's odd….Why did they invite us specifically? We're not even professionals. (puts his invite back into his coat) Well, whatever, the money is good."
Savien then starts loading his Rifle-Blade, as Luna suddenly teleports behind him with her gun and walks over to him. Luckily, Savien noticed her and pointed HIS gun at her, both now aiming their gun at point-blank range from each other.
Savien: "So, I finally meet the famous Luna Moonlight Manen."
Luna: "And I finally found that idiot who shot me off a moving train in the dessert."
Savien: (while Luna's gun is in his face) "Upset?"
Luna: "Relax, I'll wipe that stupid smile off your face."
Savien: (no longer has Luna's gun in his face) "But, my fair lady, how'd you do that if you're under my control?"
Savien then activate his Hypnosis Magic, but is shocked.
Luna: (while Savien's mind control is reflected off her EXE-Visor) "Nice trick for kiddies, but nothing can beat the weakness of the mind."
Meanwhile, at the Watchtower….
We see Lanney walk out of the elevator, and looks around the living room for Nick.
Lanney: "Master Geo?"
Lanney then finds a letter on the table and picks it up, with it being from Nick.
Lanney: ""I'll be Back"….But….If Master Geo isn't here then….Where is he?"
We then see Marlow running to the event.
Luna: (back in front of the crowd) "Alright, people of Gwain City, I introduce you to…."
Marlow then uses Enhancement Magic to boost her speed further.
Luna: "Gwain's statue."
The curtain then lifts up, revealing a statue of Gwain, which looks VERY similar to the Statue of Liberty. As Marlow Air Kicks Luna away, shocking the crowd. The news reporter then appears out of nowhere next to Gwain.
News Reporter: "What do you think, Queen Gwain, about what just happened before our very eyes?"
Gwain: (nervous) "I'm sure it's all just part of the show, right?"
News Reporter: "There you have it, Queen Gwain as wise as ever."
We then cut too the two mysterious figures.
???1: "fuijoof4jr84ejthg." (translation: "Attack now.")
With that, the second figure leaves, as she jumps away with a large group of small, batt-like monsters, which are called "Batlings", while Gwain and Ami watches.
News Reporter: "And how would explain this, Queen Gwain?"
Gwain: (EXTREMLY NERVOUS) "Maybe circus choreography?"
This makes Ami look at her adoptive mother with a look that shows she's not buying the cover story.
Over with Deva and Agni….
The siblings are still on the statue.
Agni: "Can we come down now? I think I'm gonna throw up."
Just then, the figure and her Batlings land a few feet away from them.
Deva: (summons her Ice Claws) "Now I see why they asked us to come here."
Agni: (summons Fire Balls) "It was about time you recognized our potential."
Suddenly, the boss right in front of the siblings, who are confused by what they're looking at.
Deva: "Who's this clown?"
The boss then reveals his razer sharp claws at the two, startling them.
Agni: "Hey, hey! Calm down, buddy, she didn't mean that! (they then look confused at his claws) Wait, are these your hands? How do you wipe one the toilet?"
I feel like that is a very DUMB and UNNECESSARY question, Agni.
Deva: "Yeah, and during those lonely nights….(gives the figure a smug look) Do you end up making sliced salami?"
What kind of question is THAT, Deva? I seriously CAN'T with these two.
Leader: "ffi3jeoijhutiogjuigjnw4itw4jj!" (translation: "Get out of here or you'll die.")
Second-In-Command (Mysterious Figure 2): "Master says, "Get out of here or you'll die"."
Deva: "And who are you?"
Second-In-Command: "His right hand."
Her name is: Jea, and her master is called: Tahjin, and he's some kind of "Blade Elemental". That's not even an Element. But he does kind of look like Kabutops from Pokémon.
This makes the siblings point at each other smugly, before a bunch of purple spheres suddenly surround them, making them poisoned, as the spheres were made by Jea.
Jea is a Teoran with the Poison Element.
Over with Lanney….
She trips and falls on her hands and knees due to jumping from the Watchtower, making a small crater in the sidewalk.
Lanney: "Uh….Oops…."
She then gets up and dust herself as she then runs.
Lanney: "I'm not gonna cry this time."
Meanwhile, with Marlow….
She and Luna land on a rocky ground and face each other.
Luna: "Nobody invited you, Avocado Girl."
Marlow: (finally removes the "Gwain Warrior" sticker from her chest)(Yes, she has left it on ever since Agni placed it on her chest) "And now I know why."
Luna: "Ahhhh….I didn't think you'd attack in the middle of the introduction."
Marlow: "You almost killed Geo and Ami. I won't let you touch them."
Luna: (gives a smug look) "Are you gonna give me my whooping?"
Marlow: (gives a confident look) "Just like I did to your car."
This makes Luna mad, as we see a mini flash back of Marlow rapidly kicking Luna's car.
So, wait, Marlow stop her rush JUST to destroy Luna's car, before continuing her way to the unveiling? (laughs about it)
Luna: (very, VERY, angry) "I'll turn you into guacamole!"
The two girls then face off, with Marlow quickly gaining the advantage with her speed, and knee-kicking Luna into the air, as they start fighting. Once they land on the ground, Marlow tries to use her speed to confuse Luna, only for her to deliver a combo of punches to the Leaf-Teoran. Marlow then escapes the combo and kicks Luna into a stone wall, before doing it again three times before running down into a cavern. Once at the bottom, Marlow charges up a Super Kick, only for Luna to deliver a kick of her own from behind, after teleporting, and knocks Marlow out of the cavern as the two then running on water while doing a martial art fight, dodging each others attacks, until Marlow manages to deal a blow. She then chases after Luna while jumping from one MASSIVE crystal pillar to another, doing the same Spin Jumps as Sonic the Hedgehog does. Luna then round house kicks Marlow, before delivering a barrage of "Spin Dash"(?) attacks at her as they fall, before super kicking the Leaf-User, as she lands back into the cavern. Marlow, while underwater, then uses seaweed to restrain Luna's arms, before jumping out of the water and kicks her, as Luna then throws Magic Cards at Marlow, dodges and parries them easily, until one explodes in her face.
Luna: "Lets see if that fits you."
However, Marlow, now partially covered in a green aura, jumps from debris to debris, and delivers a repeated combo of nine kicks at Luna, before suddenly entering an "Energized Form" and begins to deliver a lightning fast blur of attacks from everywhere at her, kicking Luna 70 times in a span of 10 seconds, before slam-kicking her extremely hard that Luna hurled threw several stone walls as "Super Marlow" pursued her while Spin Dashing before slam-kicking Luna again into the end of the cave. Luna barely manages to get back up due to how injured she is, as "Super Marlow" rushes at her with breakneck speed to finish the fight. Luna then turns her top hat into an arm blaster and fires a POWERFUL energy beam that knocks "Super Marlow" unconscious and back to normal, wining the fight.
Luna: "I don't know what that was, but don't do it again. Damn, I think you're on a level I can't handle. I'll have to end this soon. I hope everything works out alright."
But, before Luna could do anything, a mysterious, yet also familiar, magenta masked warrior appeared out of nowhere, standing in front of the unconscious Marlow.
Luna: "Who are you suppose to be?"
Magenta Warrior: "Me? I'm just a passing through Kamen Rider. Remember that."
Luna: "Like the heck I even know what that is….Whatever, just get out of my way." (thought) 'Why does this man's voice sound so familiar?'
"Kamen Rider": "Yeah, that's not happening, lady. I'm not letting you lay a finger on the girl."
Luna: "I don't intend on ending her. My target is somewhere else, so I'll be on my way."
"Kamen Rider": "Not on my watch."
Luna: "Guess I don't have a choice."
The "Kamen Rider" then pulls out a strange card and slides it into his belt, before closing it.
"Kamen Rider" 's Belt: FormRide: Geats! LaserBoost! Hyper Link. LaserBoost! Ready, fight!
The "Kamen Rider" then takes on a new, this time with a sort of fox-theme with white and blue armor over an orange and black suit. Luna looks completely surprised by the mysterious warrior's sudden transformation.
"Kamen Rider": (lifts his left hand up while making a fox head with it) "Now, (snaps his fingers to make a finger gun and points at Luna with it) here comes the highlight."
Luna: (shocked, thought) 'He can transform his suit? And it seems to be with those cards he has. Who is this "Kamen Rider"?' "Alright, guess you got my attention. Let's just get this over with."
"Kamen Rider": (pulls out a book from the side of his belt and turns it into a sword) "Bring it."
With that, the "Kamen Rider" then charges at Luna to fight her.
Meanwhile, with Gwain and Ami….
The two are just standing in silence, until Ami looks at Gwain.
Gwain: "Don't look at me like that, I have nothing to do, really. I really can't do anything against her."
Ami:
Gwain: "I'm doing it for a good reason."
Ami:
Gwain: "I can't tell you, your life depends on it."
Ami then walks up to Gwain and uses a Mind Reading ability on her.
Gwain: (shocked) "What are you doing? Don't tell me, you can read minds already? But, how?"
Suddenly, we see Ami in a "Pocket Dimension" of some sort, as she is about to face of against Gwain's consciousness, which is takes some sort of "Goddess" in appearance.
Gwain True Form resists
The animation for this fight is kind of reminding me of a Pokémon Battle, not gonna lie.
Ami then shoots an arrow at "Gwain".
Ami used Mist Arrow
But her attack gets deflected by a golden energy shield.
It doesn't effect the enemy
"Gwain" then attacks Ami using golden energy chains.
Gwain True Form used Divine Chans
Ami then sits like a cat, as she makes two clones of herself next to her. The two clones then attack "Gwain" as the real Ami then cat pounces towards her.
Ami used Psycho Trilogy
It's basically like Double Team, just only making TWO clones instead of MULTIPLE.
But her attack gets deflected by a golden energy shield again.
"Gwain" then charges at Ami with a "Charge Attack".
Gwain True Form used Nova Strike
Ami was about to attack, but the surrounding area suddenly changed to the outside of the kingdom, with a MASSIVE clock in the background in the sky.
Gwain True Form used Sword of Legacy
"Gwain" then deals a barrage of attacks at Ami, as the field changed back. Ami then acts like Savien.
Ami used….Automatic Breath Deactivated
"Gwain" just looks annoyed by Ami's antics, before changing to a disturbed look, as she looks to her right then left to make sure Ami didn't actually do anything. "Gwain" then sighs in relief, but is confused by what Ami was trying to do. Ami then releases a sonic shout attack at "Gwain", winning the fight.
Ami used Megrim
Flashback….
Gwain: "I know you're the only one who knows how to save her."
We see Gwain, kneeling in front of….Luna.
Gwain: "I'll give you anything, I promise. Just try it, please."
We see that Gwain is holding a young Ami in her arms, as Ami's life is slowly depleting.
Gwain: "I do think you could've saved that person you loved."
Luna: "Alright…."
We then see Luna, as she is working on a prototype of the EXE-Arc, which looks like bunny ears, as it is slowly increasing Ami's life by 0.5% per 5 seconds. Luna then looks at Ami.
Luna: "Your eyes are excessively large."
Back to the present….
Ami is surprised by what she had saw.
Gwain: "Well, now you know it. That's why I can't do anything against her. It was a tough choice, but I was so scared."
Back in the real world….
We see Lanney as she is running, she was about to approach Gwain and Ami, but was stopped by Eolo, who pointed his sword, which was still missing the top half of the blade due to Nick, in front of her.
Yeah, his blade is still broken because of Nick, I don't know why Eolo hasn't gotten a new one yet. Can't really do much with a sword missing the top half of it's blade.
Lanney: (panics) "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just need to talk to the Queen."
Eolo: "You can't interrupt the Queen right now."
Lanney looks over to see Ami, who is covered in a rainbow aura, and Gwain staring at each other.
Lanney: "Oh, no, it's always like this for hours."
Eolo: (gently pushes Lanney away) "Please leave now, miss."
Lanney: (nervous) "I don't need to go upstairs, do I?"
Lanney looks up to see the 150 meter statue of Gwain.
Lanney: "I'm not gonna cry.' (thought) 'I will not cry. I will not cry.'
News Reporter: (pops out of nowhere) "Looks like these mysterious characters are holding two youngsters hostage at the top of the statue, what do you think of these events, miss?"
The reporter then points his microphone at Lanney, who sighs in nervousness.
Back at the top of the statue….
Jea: "Alright, Master, the subjects are neutralized. Everything is clear for you to split the statue in two, if you wish to."
Tahjin then walks off.
Back with Lanney….
Lanney hops over a fence, but as she drops on the other side, her skirt gets caught on a hook and gets ripped off, revealing that she is wearing a leotard, much to her embarrassment.
Lanney: (gets over her embarrassment) "No, enough with the crying baby. I can't keep hiding my Element because of my fear."
A flashback shows Nick fighting Luna for the first time in Chapter 2, as Lanney secretly uses her Magic to make a hole in the ground, causing Nick, Luna and her robot to fall into the sewers.
Lanney: "I must defend my friends in times like these."
A second flashback shows when Luna attacked Gwain Academy in Chapter 3, as Lanney use her Magic to make a chunk of rock pop out of the ground, sending the robot behind her and Ami, who was looking the opposite direction, away from them.
Lanney: "It doesn't matter how they look at me, I must be proud of myself."
A third flashback shows when the large green bird tried to attack the gang in Chapter 5, as while Nick is fighting the bird in the air, Lanney covered herself in stone.
Lanney: "Just like Master Geo was proud of me when he saw my Element."
A FOURTH flashback shows when Nick first saw Lanney's Element at the end of Chapter 6. As the thing she was lifting is revealed to be boulders the size of her head, while she is standing on a small pillar of rock like a Stool, until she saw Nick watching her. Nick then starts complementing her, much to her embarrassment.
Lanney then closes her eyes, and covers her hands in stone gauntlets, revealing her Element to be Rock.
Lanney: (still embarrassed) "I just hope nobody sees me like this."
Lanney then starts climbing up the statue, while punching any Batlings that attack her with ease, showing impressive strength and fighting skills. She does get hit by a rolling wrecking ball, but it only stuns her for a few seconds. As she is climbing the statue, we see Batlings following her, but she takes them out by turning herself into a stone statue. She then slams down on a group of Batlings by turning into a large stone loaf of bread. And eventually, Lanney makes it to the top, where she face-to-face with Jea.
Jea: (points at Lanney) "Hey, you, the one in the diaper!"
Lanney: (covers herself with her gauntlets) "It's a leotard!"
Jea: "How did you pass security? Get out of here!"
Lanney: "Can I leave with my friends?"
Jea: "No, now get out of here!"
Lanney looks to see Deva and Agni still poisoned behind Jea.
Jea: "Didn't you hear me? Beat it!"
Lanney: (thought) 'Don't cry.'
Lanney then gets angry as her eyes start to glow.
Jea: "Or do you want to end up poisoned like them?"
Jea then gets structed in the face by a stone pillar, knocking her off the statue.
At the bottom of the statue….
We see two Teoran girls who look almost EXATLY like Pyra and Mythra from Xenoblade Chronicles 2.
"Pyra": "They say hail is coming."
Suddenly, Jea crashes into a dumpster full of trash behind the two girls, surprising them.
"Mythra": "I'm glad I brought an umbrella with me."
Back at the top….
Lanney then walks up to Tahjin.
Lanney: (goes from serious to nervous) "Excuse me, sir, could I peacefully leave with my friends?"
Unfortunately, Tahjin strikes Lanney, and knocks her into a wall.
Lanney: "Oh no…."
Tahjin looks at the Rock-user and notices her stone gauntlets, causing the Blade Elemental to become afraid.
Tahjin: "390URUTU4TTJ?!" (translation: "A Rock USER?!")
Lanney, and Tahjin then start fighting, though it seems that the Blade Elemental has the advantage, while Lanney just goes on the defensive, which Tahjin manages to break through. Luckily, Lanney soon goes on offense and slowly overpowers Tahjin, as his attacks can't damage her while she's in a "Stone Form", and Lanney manages to weaken her opponent by exploding herself. Just as Tahjin thought Lanney was gone of good, she suddenly reforms from small pebbles, much to his horror. However, Lanney is dizzy from her attack.
Lanney: (falls to her knees) "I feel like I'll lose consciousness anytime now. If only I was stronger. I should've trusted more in them."
Lanney's Rock Gauntlets then fall apart, as Tahjin charges at her to finish the fight.
Lanney: "And myself."
Just as Tahjin is about to strike her, a black and orange coat is placed on Lanney's head, as Nick has appeared. He clenches his fist, returning him to his true weight, channels his Ki and Enhancement Magic into his fist, and punches Tahjin so hard, he rocketed nearly halfway across Teora before slamming into a mountain, knocking the Blade Elemental unconscious.
Back at the statue….
The "Kamen Rider" appears at the bottom of the statue while carrying an unconscious Marlow in his arms, as he see Tahjin rocketing away.
"Kamen Rider": (chuckles) "Seems like no matter where I go, there will ALWAYS be a Nick fighting as a hero. And seeing THAT much strength is giving me Deja vu of that one world where most of the global population has those "Quirks" of theirs. That's something I've learned, no matter what World it is, if there's a Nick, whether he's training to be a hero, studying at a "Magic School", in a tournament for his "ideal world", dating a Demon in a High School in the Human World, or adopted by a "Demon Lord", there's a hero fighting for peace and justice through him. That's what makes Nick such an awesome person."
The "Kamen Rider" then lays Marlow on the ground, before summoning a strange wall of mist behind him, as he walks through it. Vanishing, without a trace.
Back at the TOP of the statue….
Nick: "Sorry I'm late. Guess I missed the unveiling, huh?"
He looks over to Lanney, and walks over to her.
Nick: "You good, Bun-Bun?"
Suddenly, Lanney starts crying, shocking Nick. Before he could ask what's wrong, Lanney hugged Nick.
Lanney: (breaking down in tears) "I failed….But in that moment, I didn't feel alone anymore."
Nick just pats his friend on the head. Unfortunately, the moment was ruined.
Jea: (manages to get back to the top) "Hey, you, the one in the diaper! You think you can just hit me like that and get away with it?! I'm gonna slash that "Good Girl" face of yours!"
Suddenly, Jea gets trapped in ice, as Deva and Agni recovered from the poison, but they still are. And they are NOT happy.
Agni: "You're forgetting something, Mouse Girl."
Deva: "Nobody messes with OUR Soaking Bread."
Nick removes Lanney's hat, revealing a Rock Elemental Crystal Fragment Book underneath it.
Lanney: (thought) 'Yeah….That's right, I was never alone. Thanks to them, I'm not a whiny baby anymore.'
Nick then nods at Lanney, as she covers her right fist in a stone gauntlet….
Lanney: (thought) 'I'm a Gwain Warrior.'
And punches Jea in the face.
Time Skip….
We see Marlow sitting on a wheelchair, as her right leg is covered in ice, like a cast.
