Last time on Chained Soldier: Reflection of Survival, Itsuki helps Kyouka regain her confidence after what happened to Yuuki at the Shuuki Nest. After that, he talks with Himari, who opens up to him about her father. Both have a nice conversation until it is interrupted by the Sixth Unit of the Anti-Demon Corps, which her older sister Yachiho is part of. Both sisters have a small catch-up until the Sixth Unit is given a run down about the Mirror World, Contract Monsters, Rider War, and Mirror Monsters. The Sixth Unit then decides they want to have an alliance with these other Riders Itsuki is working with, but then Itsuki reveals that both Himari's and Yachiho's father is a Kamen Rider and who is participating in the Rider War. A huge argument broke out between the two sisters, and Himari challenged her older sister in the Mato Exhibition Games, which then prompted the Chief to ask both Itsuki and Tai to have their own spar as she wanted to see what they were capable of. With the upcoming fight, things will be tense about who will win.

Mato

In Mato, it has been a few days since Himari has challenged her older sister Yachiho. She was seen in the living room waiting for the others as the big fight was today. As she waited Yuuki was seen coming into the room.

Yuuki: Himari are you okay?

As Himari's nerves were getting the better of her, she becomes startled at the sudden appearance of Yuuki. However, as she sees him, a wave of relief washes over her, calming her frayed nerves.

Himari: Yes, I am Yuuki just a bit nervous I am facing my older sister.

Yuuki: Hey, we trained for this with my new form. We can take her.

Yuuki gave her a confident smirk, and she smiled at him.

Himari: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I really need it. We trained really hard, Yuuki I know we can win.

Yuuki: That's the spirit.

Yuuki smiles at Himari, who does the same.

Himari: So before our match starts, are we going to see Itsuki spar with Tai? I feel bad for him as he is stronger and more experienced then him.

Yuuki: That was what the Sixth Unit Chief requested, so yes. Also, while yes Tai is less experienced, he is still a capable fighter.

Himari nodded as she recalled him fighting back at the nest, where he was seen to be a decent fighter.

Himari: Hopefully, the spar doesn't end too quickly.

Yuuki: Same.

While the Himari and Yuuki talked, Itsuki, Tai, Shushu, and Nei were seen coming into the living room.

Nei: Hey, you two. I also made the banners for the Seventh Unit and did the same for you two.

Nei smiled at Itsuki and Tai as she was told that they would be spar with one another.

Tai: Hopefully, I will last long in the spar. I have gotten my ass beat by my Itsuki sixty-eight times.

Shushu: You guys have fought that much? What for?

Tai looks at Shushu before telling her the reason.

Tai: To get stronger to face Shuuki, Mirror Monsters, and other Kamen Riders. It is mostly me trying to get stronger as I ask Itsuki to train me.

Itsuki: That and you refuse to ask Sarge for training after the first session we had with him.

Tai; He blew me the fuck up!

Tai yelled at Itsuki as he recalled Sarge firing a cannon at him but he didn't react on time. Tai still had nightmares of that training session.

Himari: Ain't the first time Dad has done it. I got shot with a paintball gun six times.

Tai just looks at Himari who looks at her with annoyance.

Tai: How is a cannon similar to a paintball gun?!

Yachiho: Dad wasn't trying to hurt us, it was to teach us to dodge. If we needed to we could tap out, of course Azumas don't surrender, so giving us the option was pointless.

Tai just looks at the two girls for a moment before opening his mouth.

Tai: You two are masochists.....

A portal then opens up and Sahara, Tenka, and another girl are seen coming into the dorms.

Gina: Greetings I am Ginna Bizen member of the Tenth Unit of the Anti-Demon Corps. I will be refereeing for the Mato Exhibition Games.

Gina smiled but then looked at the three males in the dorms looking confused and then disgusted.

Gina: What are three males doing in the dorms, are they handymen or something?

Tenka: No, the cute one with the short black hair is Kyouka's partner in combat. The other two gentlemen are linked to the strange creatures that have been hunting a devouring Shuuki.

Gina looks at the three boys in shock at this information.

Gina: Wait, the black haired boy is fighting and those two other guys are linked to those strange creatures taking out the Shuuki?!

Itsuki: Yeah, let's just say we have contracts with them. They give us power and we make sure they're well fed, pretty simple to understand.

Gina looks at the three now wanting to know more, but then Himari then looks to the referee.

Himari: The Chief will give the other Units the report right now. I would like for us to prepare for the spar.

Gina: Of course, I will get on that. All fighters please exit the dorm and head outside so the matches can begin.

Yuuki smiled and looked at Himari and nodded her head. Tai sighs and then looks at Shushu.

Tai: You are not going to hold it against me when Itsuki kicks my ass right? I mean I already owe you a favor already.

Shushu: I wouldn't do that! Tease you relentlessly for the next week however? Most definitely!

Tai: Damn you, you hot blonde!

Tai grumbled before exiting the dorms while Shushu blushed as Tai complimented her.

Nei: Don't worry Tai even if you lose you are still a good fighter.

Nei yelled as Tai left which Shushu giggled. Himari then turns to her sister before speaking up.

Himari: Yachiho before we head out I like to add something to our fight.

Yachiho: Oh? What could you possibly want in that fantasy scenario of you winning?

Himari takes a deep breath before looking her sister in the eyes.

Himari: If I win you have to tell me did you even love our father?

Yachiho's eyes widened at this as she didn't expect Himari to ask that of her.

Himari: I want an honest answer. Maybe you were right, dad did favor me but he still loved you too. I want to know the truth: did you love Dad? So when you lose, you are giving me the answer.

Himari looked at her sister with seriousness in her eyes.

Himari: Do you accept these conditions?

Yachiho: Fine, I'll play your little game, it's not like you have a chance of winning against me anyway.

Yuuki looks at Yachiho, frowning at her.

Yuuki: Himari and I have been training hard for this fight. As you said the Azumas don't surrender. Himari will fight with all she has including myself!

Yuuki looking determined which Itsuki, Tai, and the other girls of the Seventh Unit smiled.

Nei: Wow, Yuuki is so brave. Itsuki, did you teach him that or was it his sister?

Itsuki: That was his sister, although I sometimes question if she was brave or reckless. Seriously approaching a punk like me and asking if I'd help her with her shopping. Like she didn't see the metal bat I was carrying with me.

Nei looks at Itsuki surprised by this as she wasn't expecting that.

Gina: Everyone please move out.

The Sixth Unit and Seventh Unit turned to Gina and headed outside the dorms.

Outside the dorms

After heading out of the dorms, Gina was seen drawing a big circle with chalk. Once she was finished, a large barrier surrounded the dorms and the areas she had chalked.

Gina: Okay, the field is set. May both Itsuki Nishiya and Tai Kowase please enter the ring.

As Gina called their names both males headed to the ring and faced off one another.

Gina: Both fighters please prepare yourselves as the match will begin shortly.

Itsuki: Give us a moment, we'll be ready in an instant.

Tai: This is going to hurt but I am making sure not to half-ass this fight!

Itsuki and Tai both held up their Advent Decks as the V-Buckles materialized onto their waists.

Itsuki: Henshin!

Itsuki slid his Advent Deck into the V-Buckle as three reflections of his armor overlaid on top of his body before solidifying.

Tai: Henshin!

Tai slid his Advent Deck into the V-Buckle as three reflections of his armor overlaid on top of his body before solidifying.

Gina and the Sixth Unit looked in shock seeing Ouja and Tiger

Sahara: Cool, they transformed!

Gina: Incredible, I never seen something like this!

Gina with stars in her eyes while Tenka smiled as things were getting interesting.

Tenka: I wonder just what they are capable of.

Yachiho: So they have fancy armor, big deal. Doesn't mean much if they don't have skill to back it up.

Gina then stopped admiring the two Kamen Riders and quickly went to referee the match.

Gina: Okay, both fighters are you ready?

Both Ouja and Tiger nodded, which Gina understood.

Gina: Understood, let the match begin!

Gina raised her hand before slamming down to the ground indicating the fight had started. Ouja held up the Venovisor as Tiger held up the Destvisor. Tiger stares at Ouja and then starts to move counterclockwise from him keeping his eye on him. Tiger continued to stare at Ouja for a few seconds before gripping the Destvisor tightly and running towards him. Tiger lifted the Destvisor, not wasting any time to attack him. As the Kamen Rider charged he quickly swung the Destvisor at Ouja, aiming towards his upper torso. The Sixth Unit sees this and wonders why Ouja isn't moving.

Sahara: What is he doing? He is going to get cut!

Ouja raised the Venovisor, blocking the the Destvisor effortlessly as its card slot ejected out the top and Ouja drew a card from his Advent Deck. Ouja inserted the card into the slot before raising his right leg and quickly snapping it out, kicking Tiger in the gut. The other Kamen Rider stumbled backwards as Ouja closed the card slot on the Venovisor.

Venovisor: Sword Vent!

Ouja raised his right hand as the Veno Saber flew towards him from behind before it landed handle first into his waiting hand. Gina and the Sixth Unit look at Ouja surprised wondering where he got the sword.

Gina: He summoned a sword?

Yachiho: How exactly is that possible?

Kyouka: Advent Cards, they are stored in the Advent Decks. When the cards are inserted into their Visors, it grants them a multitude of weapons and abilities. Ouja's Veno Saber is his Contract Monster's tail.

When Kyouka said that the Sixth Unit and Gina looked shocked by this. However before any of them could ask Nei was seen holding flags of both Ouja and Tiger.

Nei: Do your best, you two! Keep fighting!

Nei waving their flags which was adorable.

Tiger: You heard Nei.

Ouja lunged at Tiger, before swinging the Veno Saber horizontally across Tiger's torso. Tiger clumsily blocked the attack with the Destvisor, but Ouja swiftly kicked him in the gut again with his left foot, causing him to stumble backwards. Ouja swung the Veno Saber upwards Vertically, slashing Tiger across his torso. Sparks exploded off his armor as he was sent flying backwards before roughly crashing into the ground. The Sixth Unit, and Seventh Unit winced at the strike as it looked like it hurt.

Tiger: Damn, that hurts!

Tiger quickly gets up and collapses the handle of the Destvisor, causing the Tiger head behind the axe blade to raise up, revealing a card slot. Tiger draws a card from his Advent Deck before inserting it into the card slot and closing up the Tiger head.

Destvisor: Strike Vent!

Tiger raises both of his arms and as two claw-like gauntlets appear on both of his arms.

Yuuki: Those claws look similar to Destwilder's!

Himari: It makes sense that Ouja uses Venosnaker's tail as a sword. Why wouldn't Tiger be able to use Destwilder's claws?

Tiger then gets into a stance and then charges at Ouja while he drags the Destclaws. As Tiger picks up speed, he then pounces towards Ouja reeling both the Destclaws before performing a cross slash at Ouja's body. Ouja raised the Veno Saber in front himself as the Destclaws connected with his sword's blade as sparks exploded off both weapons. Ouja was sent sliding five feet backwards while Tiger landed back on the ground.

Nei: Amazing the way Tai is fighting he is acting like a tiger.

Himari: It looks similar to Tiger Kung Fu if you look at his stance.

Sahara: She is right though it looks like he could use more training. He was not distributing his strength correctly in that attack.

Tiger was seen going for another attack and lunged at him with the Destclaws. Tiger throws his right arm at Ouja trying to strike his helmet. Ouja however swiftly ducks down before slashing Tiger across the torso horizontally with the Veno Saber. Sparks explode off of Tiger's armor as he stumbles backwards and Ouja lunges at him and swings the Veno Saber diagonally, slashing him from his right hip to his left shoulder as more sparks explode off Tiger's armor. Ouja then leaped into the air before delivering a drop kick to Tiger's chest, knocking him off his feet as he flew backwards through the air before crashing into the ground. The Sixth Unit and Gina looked at Ouja in shock at the display of skill.

Gina: Amazing, he makes us trainees look like beginners!

Kyouka: His fighting style is rather brutal, he doesn't hesitate, finds weak points and strikes them. This is surprisingly tame for him, when he fights Shuuki there's this almost sadistic brutality to his attacks.

When Kyouka said that the Sixth Unit and Gina looked at her surprised by this information.

Sahara: He fights like that with Shuuki? Then this means he is holding back in the fight against that Tai guy.

Kyouka: Tai isn't fighting seriously either right now, he may lack experience, but even he can be surprisingly efficient in a fight. Neither of them want to do serious damage to each other so they restrain themselves.

Both the Sixth Unit and Gina looked at Kyouka and understood but were still impressed by the two skills as they showed promise.

Sahara: These Kamen Riders are pretty good. Tenka, what are your thoughts on them?

Sahara looked at her chief wanting to know her stance on them.

Tenka: Honestly the most impressive thing is their attitudes. Many men in their situation would use this power to shift the current balance of society, especially with how unfair the gender inequality is. Itsuki even said there are some who do, however they have tried to avoid coming in contact with us. Which begs the question, how much have they been helping us unintentionally over all these months? They have potentially made all our lives easier and have received no form of compensation.

When Tenka said that the Sixth Unit and Gina looked at her and then at the two Riders.

Gina: I think we should repay them for their service.

Sahara: Yeah, I agree I mean Yachiho's dad has been doing this for Nine Months and has been saving the people that have gone missing in Japan.

Tiger was seen slowly getting up looking a bit tired but was able to stand.

Tiger: I need to train harder. Oi, Ouja I think its time to bring out our friends. They have been waiting to see them.

Ouja: You sure you want to? Last time Destwilder had to fight Venosnaker he was in a foul mood for days after the loss.

Tiger: I know but sometimes he needs to learn that he isn't the big cat he thinks he is. Besides it is on me so you don't have to worry.

Ouja and Tiger both drew a card from their Advent Decks before inserting them into their Visors before closing them.

Venovisor & Destvisor: Advent!

A roar was heard as Destwilder leaped down from a rock as its claws were extended out towards Ouja, ready to pounce on him. However Venosnaker burst out of the ground behind Ouja before he swatted the other Contract Monster out of the air with his tail. Destwilder then lands on his feet before growling at Venosnaker before turning back to Tiger and roaring at him.

Tiger: Oi, it is just a spar. Besides, it will be good for you.

Destwilder growls at Tiger and then at Venosnaker. Both the Sixth Unit, Nei and Gina looked at the two Contract Beasts in awe.

Gina: It's them! I can't believe, it those strange creatures from the report!

Nei: Fight well Venosnaker, you toooo Destwilder!

Nei waved flags happily at the two Contract Monsters. Destwilder looks at Nei annoyed and growls at her while Tiger frowns at him.

Tiger: Dest she is just trying to be supportive!

Venosnaker hissed at Destwilder before spitting a glob of poison at his fellow monster, Destwilder leaped backwards, dodging the poison as it hit the ground, melting a hole through it.

Ouja: Can't believe I'm saying this but Venosnaker is right, I genuinely think that Monster of yours only has two emotions, angry and hungry.

Tiger: I mean this is Destwilder we are talking about. He only tolerates me, man.

Tiger sighs while Destwilder roars at him.

Tiger: Hey, you don't have to be an ass about it!

Destwilder ignores his contractor and then looks at Venosnaker ready for a rematch. The Contract Monster charges at Venosnaker running at high speed while dragging its claw into the ground. As Destwilder charged he ripped his claws out the ground throwing several rock fragments at the giant cobra's eyes to blind him. VenoSnaker however swiftly whipped his head around, the blades lining his hood slicing through the rocks, breaking them down into pebbles. Destwilder growls as his attack does not work and decides to go for a direct approach. As Destwilder charged he then pounced towards Venosnaker with both claws extending out ready to claw the giant cobra. Venosnaker however simply swung his head horizontally to the side, batting Deswilder away as the Contract Monster slammed into the ground.

Tiger: Dest!

Tiger looked concerned for his Contract Monster but while he was distracted he left himself wide open. Ouja leaped into the air and backflipped as Venosnaker swung his tail at his Rider. Ouja's feet connected with Venosnaker's tail as the Kamen Rider was propelled towards Tiger. Ouja curled into a ball and spun around before sticking both his feet out in front of him. Ouja delivered a high speed drop kick to Tiger's torso, knocking the other Kamen Rider off his feet and flying through the air. Tiger crashed on top of Destwilder as Ouja landed on the ground and let out a sigh.

Nei: Gina, call the match, the fight is over!

Nei yelled which Gina understood and quickly went over to Ouja.

Nei: By TKO the winner is Itsuki Nishiya, aka Ouja!

Nei raised the Kamen Rider's arm up to show he was victorious. As Ouja was proclaimed the winner groans were heard and everyone turned to see Tiger turning back into Tai. Tai then gets up but nearly falls down again until Shushu catches him.

Shushu: Guess that brings the total up to sixty-nine huh?

Tai: Yeah, but hey it was a good spar. Though I probably get the stink eye from Destwilder when he wakes up.

Like clockwork, Destwilder was seen getting up looking even madder than before. Destwilder then roars in anger and starts scratching the ground in anger but as he did that everyone looked at the Contract Monter acting like a child throwing a tantrum.

Tai: Yeah, he is pissed. Dest calm your ass dude! It was just a spar, not an actual fight.

Destwilder roared at Tai in fury.

Tai: Hey, the reason Venosnaker beats you is because you don't cooperate with me. You have seen Itsuki fighting alongside him so don't blame this on me being weak!

Tai calls out his Contract Monster who just growls and then leaves the area. Ouja removes the Advent Deck from the V-Buckle as his armor shatters like glass and the V-Buckle disappears. Itsuki pockets his Advent Deck until he feels a hand on his shoulder. Itsuki turns only to come face to face with Gina.

Gina: I have a question: how are you able to understand that giant cobra? Is it a special link or something?

Itsuki: Part of the contract, once you take on a Mirror Monster, you kind of learn its language. So whether I like it or not, I understand every hiss Venosnaker lets out.

Gina's eyes turn to the stars and wanted to know more until Himari interrupts them.

Himari: Gina I know you want to know more about Itsuki but I would like the second match to start.

Himari looking at Gina with a serious look who quickly nods her head.

Gina: Forgive me for making you three wait. All Fighters who are not participating in this fight, please leave the ring!

Shushu helps Tai out of the ring while Itsuki leaves the ring as well.

Gina: Okay, may Yuuki Wakura, Himari Azuma, and Yachiho Azuma enter the ring!

As Gina called out their name Yuuki and Himari were seen on the left side of the ring while Yachiho was seen on the right side.

Himari: Yuuki it's time.

Yuuki: Right!

Himari puts her hand out to Yuuki which he grabs and kisses it. A bright glow then forms around his body. The light then dies down but as it did Yuuki's slave form is different from the chief's as it is more aerodynamic build, becoming slender with a long scarf wrapped around his neck and mouth, samurai ballooning pants, in addition to arm and leg gauntlets, making him appear more like a Ninja. Himari was seen on top of Yuuki's back holding his chain. Both stared at Yachiho with a determined look.

Himari & Yuuki: Slave: Whirlwind!

The Sixth Unit & Seventh Unit, including Tai and Itsuki all looked shocked at Yuuki's slave form.

Tai: Woah, his form is different this time!

Itsuki: So that's how it works? Different partner equals a different form.

As everyone stared, Yachiho just smirked as her sister and Yuuki had done something interesting.

Yachiho: So this is your little trump card? I must say I'm not impressed, but maybe you'll last longer than five seconds.

Himari didn't say anything and just stared at her sister.

Gina: Okay, both fighters are you ready?

The three nodded, and Gina raised her arm and swiped down to the ground.

Gina: Begin!

Yachiho: Come at me with your best, not that it will do you any good.

As Yachiho finished that sentence both Himari and Yuuki kicked off the ground and were in front of Yachiho in an instant. Yuuki steps forward while thrusting his fist at Yachiho before striking her in the solar plexus using his speed and momentum. Yachiho's eyes widen and she spits out a little blood as she is sent flying. Yachiho however smirked before she held her arms out in a pose.

Yachiho: Golden Hour!

A golden clock appeared behind Yachiho as her smirk only grew wider.

Yachiho: Rewind Five Seconds!

Time reversed by five seconds as the entire match had seemingly been reset to the beginning. Himari looked at Yachiho and saw her smile and knew she used Golden Hour.

Himari: Yuuki the first plan didn't work, continue with the second one!

Yuuki: Right!

Yuuki quickly jumps into the air taking the high ground. While in the air Himari extends her hands out and a Gatling gun forms around it.

Himari: Bang Bang Bang!

Himari then unleashes several rounds from the chamber heading towards her older sister. Yachiho however quickly lunged to the right, rolling across the ground as the bullets missed her.

Yachiho: Is that the best you can do? You never landed a shot on me during training, why would you be able to manage it now?

Yachiho drew her pistol before taking aim at Himari and firing two bullets at her.

Himari: Yuuki move now!

Yuuki quickly shifted his body to the right dodging the two bullets with ease while Himari returned fire shooting more bullets at her sister. Bullets were seen coming toward Yachiho who grit her teeth in frustration before striking the pose she struck before.

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Rewind Five Seconds!

Time reversed by five seconds as Himari and Yuuki returned to the spot they were in the air before Yachiho fired her gun.

Himari: She did it again, Yuuki.

Yuuki: Don't worry Himari we can still win this!

Yuuki looked determined to beat Yachiho and get Himari the answers she needed. He quickly started charging toward Yachiho, ready to perform the save move like last time. However, as Yuuki got closer, he punched the air at high speed, causing a sonic boom to be shot at her. Yachiho sees the air bullet coming towards her ready to hit her. The bullet impacts Yachiho's torso, knocking her off her feet and sending her flying backwards. However the girl once again strikes that pose.

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Rewind Five Seconds!

Time rewound by five seconds before the attack as Yachiho quickly lunged to the right, the punches and air bullet missing her completely.

Himari: Yuuki, change tactics now!

Himari shouted and Yuuki quickly turned his body and the mussels on his legs tightened before he kicked the air full force sending himself and Himari towards Yachiho like a rocket. Yuuki then pulls both his arms back before quickly thrusting them towards Yahchiho. Yachiho however quickly struck that pose once more.

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Freeze Time for Five Seconds!

Time froze, Yuuki was mid-pounce as Yachiho quickly ran off to the left side before turning to face Yuuki. Yachiho then fired two bullets that flew towards Yuuki and Himari before time started to move again. As time was back to normal Yuuki saw the bullets coming towards them and saw they were heading towards Himari. Yuuki quickly crossed his arms in front of himself blocking the bullets for Himari.

Himari: Yuuki, are you okay?!

Yuuki: I am fine, but those bullets pack a punch. We need to think of a different strategy. That time ability of hers is annoying. I wish we could find a way to work around it.

As Yuuki said, Himari got an idea and smiled.

Himari: You are a genius Yuuki.

Yuuki looked confused until Himari whispered the plan to him. While the two were planning Gina, Itsuki, Tai, and the Sixth Unit and Seventh Unit looked amazed by the display of power the two were showing.

Tai: Holy shit, what the hell is happening?

Shushu: I don't know, I've never worked with any of the Sixth Unit before.

Itsuki: She's manipulating the battle somehow.....

When Itsuki said that everyone turned to him surprised and Tenka giggled.

Tenka: My, you figured out how her Peach Blessing works? Most people would be clueless of it without prior knowledge.

Itsuki: No, I was pretty lost up until that last exchange. Yuuki is moving at such high speeds that human reaction time has no chance of keeping up. I race motocross as a hobby, you need some damn good reflexes for that, her dodging that attack should be impossible. Unless of course she somehow manipulated her environment to pull it off.

When Itsuki said that both Sahara and Tenka looked at him impressed.

Sahara: Wow, you are pretty smart Itsuki.

Tenka: You figured that out because you race motorcycles? A rather unorthodox manner of piecing it together.

Tenka giggled while Gina looked at Yachiho with stars in her eyes.

Gina: Amazing, the Azuma family has always been known to be powerful and knew Yachiho of the Sixth Unit had a blessing to change the environment.

As Gina said that Nei's eyes widened realizing something.

Nei: Yachiho isn't changing the environment actually it is almost like she is controlling time! I mean I have noticed whenever Yuuki and Himari fight her. Yachiho seems to know what is going to happen next. Either her blessing allows her to see the future or she can control time!

Itsuki: That would explain her dodge just now, she froze time and repositioned herself. As for her seemingly knowing what's going to happen, she probably did get nailed by those attacks, but reversed time to before the attack connected.

When Itsuki said that the Seventh Unit was now looking worried.

Tai: Crap, Yuuki, and Himari are going to have a hard time fighting Yachiho with that blessing of hers.

Kyouka: They may still have a chance, Yachiho looks to be slightly exhausted. If I had to guess, rewinding and freezing time is rather exhausting. If they can stall her out, she won't be able to use her Blessing anymore.

The Seventh Unit looks at the Chief and then at Yuuki and Himari hoping they had a plan.

Himari: Are you ready Yuuki?

Yuuki: Yes, let's win this!

Yuuki then rushed towards Yachiho while Himari fired bullets at her as they moved. Yachiho saw another wave of bullets coming her way while Yuuki was charging in. Himari continued to fire her bullets as they moved but then stopped.

Himari: Part two Yuuki!

Yuuki's eyes glowed, and his muscles tensed. He started to move at high speed, circling around Yachiho. This confused her until she saw that Yuuki started to make a wind dome, causing her to lose sight of Yuuki and Himari.

Yachiho: That's your game? Are you forgetting I still have an Ace up my sleeve Himari?!

Yachiho then struck a rather extravagant pose as the golden clock appeared behind her once again.

Yachiho: Prime Time! Freeze Time for Ten Seconds!

The entire area froze in time, covering everyone. Everyone was seen frozen, unable to move. Yachiho then looked around the area and saw Yuuki and Himari.

Yachiho: There you are!

Yachiho aimed her pistol at the duo before firing two bullets at them. Time then unfreezes and both bullets hit Yuuki and Himari. Her shoulder was pierced by the bullet while the other bullet hit Yuuki in the stomach. Both teens fall to the ground in pain. The Seventh Unit, Itsuki, and Tai looked at the Himari and Yuuki concerned.

Seventh Unit: Himari!

Itsuki & Tai: Yuuki!

All of them looked at them as they saw them bleeding. While on the ground Himari was seen on the ground contemplating as she remembered her sister's words.

Yachiho's words: He had two talented daughters, but all he saw was the runt. Why were you so special in his eyes?! Why were you always worthy of his time?

Himari: I am not runt and dad loved us all!

Himari got back up and as she did Yuuki did the same holding his stomach.

Himari: Yuuki, are you able to continue?

Yuuki: Yes, as you said about the Azuma family they don't surrender.

Himari smiled and got back on Yuuki and then face Yachiho.

Himari: Yuuki we need to make this count. Do you trust me?

Yuuki: I do Himari.

Himari smiled at this and then turned to her sister.

Himari: When we get close to her, change back into your normal form on my command.

Yuuki looks at Himari for a moment before nodding his head. Himari then smiled and turned to her sister.

Himari: Yachiho, I think it is time we end this fight. So you better be ready to tell me what I want to know!

Himari looked determined to beat her older sister.

Yachiho: It won't work....

Yuuki's eyes glowed once more and then charged at Yachiho at high speed. Himari held on tight as they got closer to her sister. He then reels his fist back and throws it at Yachiho aiming for her face. Yachiho performed the pose as the golden clock appeared behind her.

Yachiho: Golden Hour! Freeze Time for Five Seconds!

Himari: Now Yuuki!

Yuuki's body glows brightly, blinding Yachiho's vision. Time then freezes and she sees Yuuki in his normal form while smoke is seen coming behind blocking Himari from being seen.

Yachiho: Dammit! Where is she?!

Yachiho quickly fired three bullets at the smoke screen before time started to move once again. As time resumed blood was seen splattering on the ring however it wasn't Himari's blood. Yachiho's eyes widened as she had been shot in the neck and looked down to see her sister with her pistol out.

Himari: Who's the runt now....

Himari smiled before Yachiho fell to the ground while holding her neck. The three teens were seen on the ground and Gina quickly called the match.

Gina: The winner of this fight is Himari Azuma & Yuuki Wakura!

As Gina announced that the Seventh Unit and Tai cheered.

Tai: Way to go Yuuki!

Nei: You were an amazing Himari!

Ten Minutes later

After the fight was over Himari, Itsuki, and Yachiho were seen getting healed up from Gina.

Gina: That should do it.

Yuuki: Thank you I feel like those bullets never went through me.

Yuuki gives a smile to Gina who nods while Himari is seen staring at her sister.

Himari: Yachiho, the agreement. I beat you and you tell me your feelings about Dad. So please tell me the truth, did you ever love him?

Yachiho: You really think you were the only one that cared?

Himari looked at her sister and sadly nodded.

Himari: I always saw you fighting with him a lot when it came to me.

Yachiho: So I guess that means I don't love him huh? You don't know anything, dad used to take me to the shooting range. We'd be there for hours, always trying to one up each other. It was one of the only times I was allowed to have fun.....

Himari was surprised by this as dad never told her this.

Himari: What do you mean only time to have fun? Dad took me out to eat when we trained really hard. Didn't he do anything else with you and Maia?

Yachiho: Of course he did! But Maia and I got it a lot less than you, you were the failure after all. Grandmother barely gave you the time of day, so you got that treatment all the time.

Himari looks at her in shock hearing this as he always thought her father was fair with her and her sisters.

Himari: Yachiho what else has done for me that he didn't do for you? I mean yes grandmother didn't spend time with me but she did with you why are you mad with dad about that?

Yachiho: You were the failure, that meant nothing was expected of you. Grandmother didn't like Father's mentality. You know, the one he developed in the military. Look out for those beside you? Grandmother believes the Azumas need to be above others, don't concern yourself with them unless they are strong.

Himari looks at Yachiho and balls her fist as she hates that belief of their grandmothers.

Himari: Dad had the right to stick to his beliefs! I followed it so why did you and Maria care?

Yachiho shot a glare at Himari before grabbing her by the front of her uniform.

Yachiho: Why?! Did it ever occur to you that we wished we had that relationship with our father?! Being able to have him there for us constantly?! But no, we had talent so we were expected to focus on more important things.

Himari looks at her sister in horror hearing this as she didn't know she felt that way.

Himari: Yachiho, I didn't know. I always thought you didn't need him since you and Maria had everything under control. I looked up to both of you and asked dad to help me become good like you two guess I was the selfish one then. Had I known this was the result I would have not made you hate dad....

Yachiho: I don't hate him for standing up for you, but I don't think he'd want to see me or Maria, or Mother ever again. I burned that bridge and have to live with that fact.

When Yachiho said that Himari saw the pain in her eyes and then hugged her older sister surprising her.

Himari: I know Dad would love to see you and Maria. After all, he mentioned you two as we trained and how when I get stronger, all three of us will be strong members of the Anti-Demon Corps. He loved all of us, and that will never change.

Yachiho looked at Himari a moment before looking down, she found it hard to believe honestly.

Itsuki: If you're so unsure, why not go ask him yourself?

When Itsuki said that, both girls looked at him.

Himari: What do you mean Itsuki?

Itsuki: I know where your dad's detective agency is, you know? I mean I help him on the missing persons cases when he and his employees are stretched a little too thin. It's only noon, I could take you there right now if you want.

When Itsuki said that Yachiho and Himari looked shocked and they then turned to their Chiefs.

Kyouka: The final round isn't until tomorrow, it's fine if you wish to visit him.

Tenka: We'll call you if anything unexpected occurs, go meet him. This would be a good opportunity to extend a partnership to him at the very least.

Both sisters looked at their Chiefs and understood.

Himari: We are going to see Dad again, Yachiho.

Yachiho: I-I guess it's for the best if we plan on establishing a working relationship with these Rider guys.

Himari smiled and turned to Itsuki.

Himari: Let us grab our civilian uniforms and we will be on our way.

Itsuki: Alright, maybe you two can finally talk some sense into Sarge. Stubborn as an ox that guy is.

Tai: Don't you mean bull?

Tai said and Itsuki glared at him making him silent.

Himari: We can get through dad after all we are his daughters.

Yachiho: Get through to him about what exactly?

Itsuki: His unhealthy work habits, serious guy does not take care of himself sometimes. Don't know if he had this issue when he still lived with your family, he has a bit of a caffeine addiction.

When Itsuki said that, both girls looked at one another as they needed to help him.
