________________________________________________________________________________
The episode begins off back in the Grimoire Tower where Asta from The Black Bulls, was standing in front of a crowd of people who was there to get their grimoire from this year's festivities.
"Would you people stop laughing at him? He doesn't deserve to get laughed at and made fun of because he didn't receive a grimoire at all...Say...If you were in his shoes, right now. I'm sure you would feel the same way he's feeling and I'm sure you wouldn't be laughing at that, either...
...But, let me tell you something...So long ago, when Me and that man over there who is standing over there with that boy." Asta pointed over towards Yuno, who was with Nash.
"....We had our sights on getting our grimoires so we can become Magic Knights someday and also, begin our journey to the race of becoming the Wizard King! Yuno received his four-leaf grimoire and I didn't get one. People laughed at me because they saw me as a nobody, they thought I would never become the Wizard King, even become a Magic Knight. But, soon after all that. One moment changed my entire life and I finally got my grimoire."
Asta takes out the old and rusty grimoire he had and shows it out to everyone.
"Is that the five-leaf grimoire?!" Mai wondered in her mind, and she heard so much of the grimoire from the history book of the world.
The girl was observing and watching Asta giving out a speech.
"Incredible...So, it is Asta from the Black Bulls..." Sumire said, as she can easily confirm it was him. Since he does a major hand in everything that's happened in the Clover Kingdom for so many years now.
Nakato didn't say a word at all and he just looked up at Asta.
"This is a symbol of proof that I made it and then, this robe...The Black Bulls...If it wasn't for Captain Yami, I wouldn't have made it to the Magic Knights. If it wasn't for the family I grew up with. I wouldn't be here at all. I am grateful for it. Also...That boy, he may not have a grimoire at the moment. But, that doesn't mean he can make the impossible, possible! His time will come. I believe it will happen! Just takes time! So, don't laugh, just have faith that he will someday make it. And...who knows? He may end up becoming a magic knight and getting a grimoire in no time!" Asta shouted out to everyone.
Everybody in that very same building wasn't sure how to put it into words of what Asta said to them all. As if they were very speechless.
"So, if I had no grimoire only to get mines later on and became a Magic Knight. Who said it won't happen to him too?! Have faith that he may make it out there in the world, someday!"
The crowd around Asta didn't know how to respond to that but clapping their hands.
The girl in the cloak would make her leave, as she says to herself. "Well...That was a waste of time...Anyways, I will become a Magic Knight now. That's my goal now!"
Yuno smiled at the speech Asta had given. He also has faith that the Shimura kid would get his grimoire someday and become apart of the Magic Knights.]
Sumire looks at Nakato and Mai. She was really concerned for Tony. "Should we head back and check on Tony?"
"That crybaby can go back home to his mommy, while I go and become a Magic Knight....I'm out of here...." Nakato was being brutally honest when he said that and he put it bluntly, as he walks away.
Sumire would grab Nakato's hand and she had a frown on her face. She didn't like the way Nakato said that about Tony, as she turns him around to smack him in the face.
"....Nakato, you better take that back now...I am not gonna stand to hear you talk about him like that...He's our friend! Grimoire or no Grimoire, Magic Knight or not. He's our friend and we are supposed to support him! And if you don't care, if you don't support him, then, what kind of friend are you to leave him be on his own?!"
She said as she had tears coming down from her face, and she started to run off.
"Sumire! Wait!" Mai ran past Nakato, as she went after Sumire.
Nakato looks down at the floor as he smirked.
"Yo...Not cool..." Nash simply said, as he walks past Nakato.
"Oh, why don't you shut up?!" Nakato said as he just stood there.
Yuno notably didn't like the way Nakato acted here and his reaction to his friend not getting a grimoire at all. Asta somewhat took note of that too.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile back in Britannia Village. Tony Shimura was already back at home. He was in his room, heartbroken and was putting his head down onto his knees, while hugging them.
"....How?! But...Why...Why did it have to be me?! Why didn't I get one while everyone else got one? I don't understand! I really don't!!" He thinking to himself out loud, unintentionally.
Lily was standing by outside of Tony's room and she frowned a bit. She would open the door and looks inside to see Tony sitting on the bed, with his bed sheets covering him. "Tony...Do you need to talk?"
"....N-No....I'm fine, momma..." Tony said, as he wanted to avoid needing any advice or comforting. He was crying with a smile on his face. "See..."
As heartbreaking it was to see Tony feeling this way, hurt Lily so much. Because that's her son. She would shake her head and walked over towards Tony as she sat down on the bed with him. She pats him on the back and rubs it.
"Sweetheart...You can talk about it...There is no need to refrain from showing how you really feel. Especially to your own mother. You can talk to me about anything. You know that..."
Tony thought about it for a moment and he nodded. "How...can I become a Magic Knight when I don't have a grimoire to become one...? I don't understand how I wasn't given a grimoire but everyone else did...It makes no sense...How can I save people, or join the Magic Knights without one..."
Lily sighed, and she looks at Tony with a smile. Trying not to cry here. "Tony...Have I ever told you the story of one certain magic knight that had no magic?"
Tony looks up at his mother and shook his head at her. "U-Um...No..."
"Well...Let me tell you about his story, then..." Lily said with a smile on her face.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile at the Blue Rose Knights headquarters. Charlotte Rosary was outside where the blue rose garden and she was awaiting for her top prospects and Sol as well to return from their mission.
A communicator appears from behind Charlotte and the person behind that communicator is Marx Francois. "Hello, Ms. Rosary. This is Marx Francois. I need to report you some news from The Wizard King to your squad."
"Hm....What is it, Marx?" Charlotte asked as she looked back at the communicator.
Marx would respond back to the Blue Rose Knight's captain and he had a very serious look here.
"According from The Wizard King, himself. There is an ongoing emergency that's happening in the Forsaken Realm's Rayaka Village with some terrorist group possibly raiding the town already and the Wizard King has sent one member each from both The Black Bulls and The Golden Dawn-"
"Isn't that supposed to be their job, though?" Charlotte cut off Marx, as she crosses her arms after hearing some members of The Golden Dawn and Black Bulls were already seeking out to this mission.
Marx sighed and had to make a convincing argument. "Well, yes. But, The Wizard King ordered it because the two members from both squads are about to fight a serious threat by themselves!"
"Oh...Well, alright then. I'll send my best members out there, then." Charlotte responded back as the communication magic disappears.
Then, she would see her two new rookie members of the Blue Rose Knights and the Vice Captain, Sol Marron along with them. The new rookies are named -- Tsubame Inoue and Kiyoko Tanahashi.
Tsubame and Kiyoko are respectively daughters of former Magic Knights, Shirou Tanahashi and Kazuhiro Inoue.
"Ah, welcome back. So, how well did our two new rooks do?" Charlotte asked Sol.
Sol smiled and she walked up to Charlotte as she gives her captain the three clover salute "Tanahashi and Inoue did amazing! They do work very well with each other. So, training was a massive success, Char."
"You need to call me Captain, Sol..." Charlotte said, as she crosses her arms and looks over towards her.
Sol bowed pretty quickly. "Sorry, Char! I can't help myself!"
"Anyways...Great work, you two."
Kiyoko and Tsubame did the three-leaf clover salute and nods. "Thank you, Captain! We do our very best!"
"Uh, Captain Charlotte..." Tsubame raised her hand up and looks up at her.
Charlotte looks back down at Tsubame. "Yes, Tsubame?"
Kiyoko knew what Tsubame was going to ask, but she didn't want to say anything here.
"Me and Kiyoko was wondering on when will our--" Tsubame paused at the middle of the question as she sees someone running up to her.
"Ohhhh, Caaaaaptain!"
A cheery and enthusiastic voice appeared from behind, as a female was running up to her from behind and she was about to hug her but Charlotte moves out of the way as the female misses.
The female had glasses on and she puts it back up to her face, as she grinned at Charlotte. Her name was Kaiku Shimura.
"I see you're back as well, Shimura Sisters..." Charlotte said as she looks at the girl with the glasses.
"Shimura?" Tsubame and Kiyoko was totally surprised to actually see a Shimura in person.
One of the sisters had a stoic look on her face and she watched Kaiku running up to Charlotte and she shook her head at Kaiku. The other sister is Sagura Shimura. "You gotta stop doing that, Kaiku...We're not kids anymore, y'know...Sorry about that, Captain Charlotte."
"Yeah, yeah I know, Sags! I just like to attempt giving Captain love and affection!"
"You're fine. You all came back at a better time...Because, we got ourselves a mission already." Charlotte had announced to the five members.
Sol was totally caught off guard by that, Kiyoko was surprised, Tsubame seemed to be pretty excited, and Kaiku and Sagura Shimura was totally ready for some action.
"That was quick..." Kiyoko shrugged her shoulders, looking over at her childhood friend.
Tsubame smiled and nodded her head at Kiyoko's response.
"You five need to head to the Forsaken Realm. The village of Rayaka is in danger and it appears two members of two magic knights squads were sent there to seek out the issue, but...It may seem like they could be in danger of the enemy. I need you five to back them up. When you get back, please update me on the details about the mission at hand. Is that clear?"
"Yes, Captain!!!" The four members emerged doing the salute, as well as Sol.
"Forsaken Realm...Wow, that may seem like a homecoming for Me and Sagura..." Kaiku thought in her mind, as she looks over at Sagura.
Sagura nodded slowly and she held her hand.
The five members went off towards Rayaka to back up Roe Ket and Kaito Shimura.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile back at the Black Bulls headquarters, the chaos between Luck and Magna was still going on, while Zora is asleep on the bar next to Vanessa. Secre was sitting, still reading a magazine.
Noelle was just sitting down near the window and she looks out. "Asta is away with his little friend..And Roe has been gone for awfully a long time..Then, the captain's not here...Hopefully everything's okay..."
"Some...thing...Wrong....Noe..lle...." Henry asked Noelle, as he seemed to be a bit concerned for her.
"Yeah, is everything alright over there? You seemed to be worried about something..." Finral said, as he walks over towards Noelle.
Noelle would shake off the feeling and she shouted at Finral. "No...I don't know what you're talking about...I'm absolutely fi--"
Yami kicks the door down as he walks inside the hideout and looks at everyone. "Sup, you dumbbells..." He said as he exhales from the cigarette he was smoking from.
Everyone just suddenly flinches at the return of Captain Yami. Even Magna and Luck had stopped, as well as Vanessa and Zora waking up.
Well, everyone except Secre. She was too busy looking at the magazine.
"Welcome back, Captain Yami!"
"Yeah, thanks...Just to let you idiots know, we got some change of plans..." Yami said to everyone.
The rest of the Black Bulls seemed intrigued by this turn of an events while Gauche was focusing on the statue he's sculpting of Marie, somewhere else.
________________________________________________________________________________
While the Magic Knights from The Black Bulls and Blue Rose Knights are on the way. Back at Rayaka Village, member of Golden Dawn, Kaito Shimura and member from the Black Bulls, Roe Ket was surrounded by members of a terrorist group, called The Dark Order.
The members all came at Shimura and Roe at once.
"I really wish I didn't have to hurt you guys! But, I will if it means having to avenge these people!"
Roe shouted out loud as she would dive on top of a member and starts to deliver kicks and uses her shadow magic to move out of the way of the attacks from the members.
Kaito called out as he would send out Lightning Slashes to a few of the members, then he would notice three members coming at him at once. As he would punch that one member coming towards him in the gut and he would jump up as he spin in the air to do hit the two other members with a split-legged double kick to the faces of those two members.
"So cool...Kaito still has it!" Roe grinned as she would take out another member with quick sword slash, something that was very hard to notice.
Then, in mid-air a big man can be seen coming out from the skies above and attempts to strike Roe in the head with a flying punch.
But, Roe moves out of the way and as Zero, the big man of The Dark Order misses his target.
"Damn! Who is he?!" She thought in her mind.
"Perfect timing...Kishitani..." The woman thought in her mind.
Kaito ran started to run towards the leader. "You are gonna pay for what you've done!"
"Shinoda...You know what to do..." The woman in the fog with the glowing purple eyes, called out to one of her "insurance policy" to go after Shimura.
"Yes, Mistress..." Katsuke said, as he takes his sword out of his and he went sprinting towards Kaito and he jumped in the air, attempting a sword slash.
But, Kaito would block his sword with his own. Both men would attempt kicking each other in the gut and they do.
The two gets sent back after kicking each other in the gut.
The woman had a very evil smirk on her face, watching her go-to men attack the enemy.
Katsuke would quickly respond with a Dark Lightning Slash coming from his sword and it was coming towards Kaito, really fast. Kaito got up as he ran towards it and slides under the slash as it missed it's target.
Kaito gets back up and he would clash swords with Katsuke, as they go back and forth.
Zero attempts to punch Roe, but she ducks every punch he attempts. He would then get frustrated at this and he attempts to take her down with a sweep kick but Roe sidesteps.
Roe would attempt doing a spin kick to the face but Zero counter-blocks it with a spinning backfist. Roe would block the backfist by kicking his hand away and she would hit him with a uplifting kick, which connects.
But, Zero remains on his feet as he would punch her in the back in mid-air of the kick she made.
Roe gets sent back into a home, and literally breaking through a home.
Kaito watched Roe getting punched so hard that she hit a home with the force of that punch. "ROE!"
He gritted his teeth in anger, and his eyes were fixated on Zero. He would hit his own head onto Katsuke's with serious force and he ran towards Zero with his sword in hand.
"Hatred...My superior likes that..." Zero simply said with a calm grin on his face. "Bring on your hatred...Face me with it..."
Kaito began to use his mana to spark his sword up with lightning once again and he shouts out, before slamming the sword into the ground. "Lightning Blade Magic: Electric Sho--"
Zero somehow with quick speed manages to get in front of Kaito and he kicks him in the gut, preventing him to use his magic. This sets up Katsuke for attempting to pierce Kaito with the sword from behind.
But, Kaito would improvise by taking his second sword out from his grimoire but this time, his second sword was full of Lightning and he would block Katsuke's Dark Lightning Sword. He blocks it and follows that by sliding past by Katsuke. He was now close to getting to the leader.
Roe slowly rises up after that hard punch by Zero, only to see Kaito getting closer to her.
Katsuke and Zero was pretty shocked on how Kaito passed by them.
"I GOT YO--"
A spatial portal can be seen in front of the female leader and two swords can be seen getting shot at Kaito, Kaito manages to block one of them but...One did strike him in the abdomen straight into it.
The female smirked and a voice can be heard from the portal.
"This is what happens...when you let anger get to you..."
Kaito's eyes widened and he coughed out a lot of blood. He was seriously impaled. He began to shake and his body was shaking, and trembling.
"...." Then, he went down to his knees and then he quickly notices the sword that impaled him was a poison sword. He was in serious pain and he feels his body getting numb and limp slowly.
"N-No....No..." Roe shook her head and she couldn't believe what she just witnessed.
Then, he went down to his knees and then he quickly notices the sword that impaled him was a poison sword. "GAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!" He shouted out in serious pain, as he drops his sword too. His Lightning Sword remains in his hand.
The woman had a very sadistic, calm, and evil smile on her face. She walks up to the impaled Kaito and she takes his sword. She smirks and looks at it.
"Pathetic~ I will admit...It was fun watching you Magic Knights suffer~ But, the fun has to end with a hero that can no longer fight and..."
She would snap the sword into two, with no problem as she drops it to the ground in front of Kaito.
"That makes you...powerless...Like how your Clover Kingdom will end up~ Now...You can die, Magic Knight...You brought this upon yourself...My lovelies, Katsuke, Zero...We're leaving..."
"Yes...Mistress Sunako..." The remaining members that stayed alive had vanished away.
Sunako would walk away as Zero and Katsuke, as Katsuke takes the poison sword out of Kaito and he cleans it with a clean rag he had and he drops it in front of the broken and split sword, and the seriously injured, Kaito.
Katsuke hands it to Sunako and she grabbed it, as she puts it back into her sword holster.
"You're next, Clover Kingdom...We are coming soon...to destroy you...~" Sunako thought in her sick and psychotic mind and she began to laugh evilly.
Then, the three vanishes away from the area.
Then, the three vanishes away from the area.
Roe ran up to Kaito and watches them leave. "I WILL NOT LET YOU GET AWAY WITH THIS!!!!" She shouted out at them as she was in total anger and definitely in despair, knowing that she couldn't do anything to save him or the people that died here.
"......" Kaito wanted to speak but he couldn't as he coughed out more blood to the side.
Roe didn't know what to do and she thought about it, as she would grab the broken and split up sword of Kaito's and puts it inside of his sword holster. She would use a little bit of her magic.
"Shadow Magic: Dark Transporting Orb" The orb would be created around Roe and Kaito.
"Let's go...We're heading back home..."
The orb transports it's way out of Rayaka heading up towards Hage and then, going past that is going to Britannia Village.
"Don't worry, Kai...We'll make it there! Just please don't die on me! Don't die on the kids! Don't ever die on Lily! Please make it!" Roe thought in her mind and she was freaking out.
It was luckily traveling quickly.
"I...I...need...to see...my son and my wife...." Kaito slowly said.
"Shh! Don't talk, Kai...You're gonna make it worse.." Roe said in response. She didn't want him to bleed out even more.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Back in Hage Village, the Grimoire Acceptance Ceremony had just concluded.
Nakato can be seen leaving Hage for Britannia Village, by himself.
As he does leave, he can be seen stopped by, none other than another Four-Leaf Clover Grimoire user and Golden Dawn Vice Captain, Yuno.
"Oh...What a pleasant surprise?! It's Yuno, of the most elite Golden Dawn magic knights squad..." Nakato said, as he crosses his arms and sighed.
"....Look, kid....Do you think it was okay for you to say what you said back there? I heard you and how are you gonna--"
Nakato sighed heavily as he proceeded to walk on anyways and attempts to walk past Yuno.
"I don't need your advice...I know what I said and I meant it too..."
Yuno would put a hand on Nakato's shoulder. "If you truly meant it, then...You don't deserve to be a Magic Knight if you act like that towards a friend. Trust me...I know that feeling of...being that way myself. Especially, when I was like that to Asta...But, despite all of that, he still pushes me to be the best I can be, even if he had no grimoire in the first place..."
Nakato's eyes widens and looks back at Yuno.
"And...I pushed him back, because...He is my rival and look at him now...He got a grimoire, somehow, someway, but he got one. We found our more advanced and newfound power later on, because we pushed each other to get better. And we still do push each other....So, I encourage you that you'd be there for your friend and be there in support...even if you have a grimoire and he doesn't..."
Yuno said, as he takes his hand away from Nakato's shoulder and walks away from him.
Nakato blinked and he wasn't sure what to think about what Yuno said. Then, he notices that dark orb in the sky that's just headed for the village.
He was confused by it. "Hm...What in the hell is that thing?!" The boy thought as he went to follow it out of Hage and heading into Britannia.
_________________________________________________________________________________
"I hope he's okay...." Sumire said in a very concerned and worried tone of voice. She was roaming back and forth at the porch outside of the Shimura residence.
Mai didn't say anything and she was sad to see Sumire feel this kind of way.
Tony seemed very fascinated by the story his mother had told him.
"Wow...He had no grimoire and he did all of that, but then got his grimoire, fought his way into becoming a Magic Knight, took on some serious foes and overcame the odds...So, this was Asta?"
"Yup. I had a pleasure of teaming with him in my time with the Black Bulls alongside with him. Although, I had to retire because of the fact that I had you! Heh!" Lily said as she pokes his nose and she smiles at Tony. "Boop!"
"Hey!" Tony slightly blushed a bit and chuckled.
Lily hugged him and kisses his forehead. "Love ya, son. No homo!"
Tony and Lily looked at each other for a moment and they laughed a bit.
"Tony...Never give up on your dreams...Okay? Always fight for your dreams. Like Asta did."
Tony smiled and he nodded his head at Lily, as he hugs her back. "Okay, momma. I will fight for it, no matter what!"
Meanwhile back outside, the black orb appears in front of the town at the home of the Shimura Residence. Sumire and Mai was confused by that orb.
"U-Uh...Why is that...thing here?" Mai asked, she was blinking her eyes. She had no clue on what magic this was.
Sumire recognized what that orb was. "Shadow Magic...That's gotta be..."
The black orb would vanish away, as Sumire and Mai sees Roe and the injured Kaito behind the fading orb. Sumire and Mai was shocked to see Kaito bleeding out by much out from his abdomen through his back.
"....You two, please get someone!" Roe begged the two teenagers in front of her.
Mai and Sumire looks back at each other. They nod their heads at each other as Mai went to find the town's doctor while Sumire ran inside the house to get Tony and Lily.
Lily and Tony hears someone coming inside the house.
Then, Sumire barges into Tony's room and she sees him and Lily talking. "Tony...Lily...We got a big problem..."
"What?!" The two of them said at the same time. They both got up from the bed and exits Tony's room, as they ran towards outside and they see Kaito on the ground bleeding out and Roe is holding onto him, crying her eyes out.
Tony went down to his knees and he quickly breaks down into tears. "N-No..."
Lily couldn't believe her eyes and she shook her head, as she slowly walks up to Kaito. "Ka-Kaito...No..."
Lily couldn't believe her eyes and she shook her head, as she slowly walks up to Kaito. "Ka-Kaito...No..."
Sumire wanted to cry for Tony but she doesn't and she hugs him. "Tony..."
The townsfolk had came out and watched the scene.
"It can't be...No..." Lily was totally in disbelief and she had gone down to her knees as she looks at Kaito getting pale slowly.
"Where did that damn thing--What the..."
Nakato had finally caught up and he saw Sumire hugging Tony and Kaito on the ground bloodied, as well as Tony's mother and Lily's former teammate by his side. He couldn't believe it.
"....W-Who...Who did this...Why?! Why did it..." Tony paused.
"S-Son..L-Lil...Lily." Kaito called out to them.
"WHO THE HELL DID THIS?!?!?!" Tony had gritted his teeth in anger, balling up his fists, and yelled out in anger.
"C-Calm down...Please, son..." Lily said as she was saddened to see her son in more pain than he already has.
As the credits does roll without no theme song playing.
Tony let's go of the hug by Sumire and he ran over towards Kaito. He was next to his mother. "Dad...Please don't go...I don't want you to go!" He said in a shaky tone of voice and he was totally tearing up.
Kaito smiled weakly at his son and his wife and he can't seem to move his body at all. "Don't cry..."
Mai would return with a doctor but she was watching the scene here. The doctor had sat next to Roe and noticed how pale he was already.
".....C'mon, Doc! Please do something!" Roe shouted out at the doctor.
"I'm sorry! But...Unfortunately, from what I can gather...The poison is almost there from effecting his body and he's lost too much blood..."
"YOU CAN'T TELL ME THAT HE IS--"
"R-Roe...That's enough..."
"But, Kai..." Roe blinked and she was getting very teary-eyed once again.
Kaito was breathing slowly and he slowly gets this out to Tony. He notices his grimoire was now fading away. "T-Tony...T-Take my grimoire...Make into to your own..."
"...B-But...Why?! No, I can't do tha--"
"Trust me...It's your early birthday gift...From...Me to you...My son..."
Nakato, Sumire, Roe, and Mai couldn't believe that his father is actually gonna give his grimoire to him for his birthday.
Tony didn't know what to do. He didn't want to do that. Not to his own dad.
Lily would hold Tony's hands. "I'll...help you..."
As he was heartbroken, and saddened here. Tony grabbed his grimoire and Lily would slowly but surely but Kaito's numb and limp hand on top of his fading grimoire.
Tony can be seen now flowing with mana as the grimoire was slowly being put back together and the grimoire itself was glowing. Kaito was smiling at this. Lily and Tony was tearing up when this was happening.
After the grimoire power and mana was transferred over to Tony from Kaito. The grimoire is now in Tony's possession.
"T-Thank...you Dad..."
"You're welcome, s-son...Lily, remember..I will always be with you, I love you....Take my sword and...you and Tony can keep that..." Kaito said as he eyes over towards Tony and still with a weak smile on his face.
...And T-Tony...Happy...Birthday, my son...Become a Magic Knight like..those two have....Never give up, and...." His eyes' pupils were fading out as his vision was getting blurry and he smiled.
"Always...fight...for...your...dreams..." Kaito had finally said his final words to them both.
"Always...fight...for...your...dreams..." Kaito had finally said his final words to them both.
"Kaito...I love you too, you big idiot...." Lily said to him.
In the background, the sunrise was slowly fading out and the bright orange and red skies can be shown. The atmosphere was nice.
Kaito would close his eyes and he succumbed to the poison as well as him losing complete blood loss and he died with a smile on his face. His hand falls off the grimoire that is now Tony's.
"Kaito...I love you too, you big idiot...." Lily said to him as she hugged him, then she would hug her son too.
Lily and Tony didn't know how to react here, as they both broke down, crying again in each other's shoulders.
Mai and Nakato felt terrible, as they walked over towards Tony and Lily. They are now hugging them. Sumire and Roe joins in as well.
The townsfolk was either in tears or in shock of Kaito's death.
"Dad....I will...fight for them! For you! And Mom!!! AAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Tony shouted out loud to the skies as he was in so much emotional pain and him and Lily hugging Kaito to end the episode.

Post-Credits Scene
Inside the Dark Order's hideout, at the front table. Sunako Hanshou was watching Tony and Lily hugging Kaito with her vision magic, and she can do much more with her vision magic . She had a very evil smile on her face. She was very proud of what she has done.
"Setting the stage is...nice...Now...I wonder~ Who will be next to be my game of...seek and destroy?!" Sunako would look down at the checker board. "Will it be...the Captain of The Black Bulls? Hm, or...Will it be you Vangeance? Or...Maybe...Could it be you...Novochrono?"
She asked as she had gotten her queen piece on the board and makes it over the king piece. The psychotic woman would remove the king's piece.
"Novochrono...You're next to die~" She said as she laughed psychotically at how amusing it will be to kill Julius Novochrono.
The scene ends.
