Theresa: "I'll take your words on that then! But I heard that he lost last time correct?" I nod my head.

Cecilia: "Yes he did but it seem that he didn't mind losing, he even said that it's normal. Last night he told me that he's perform with- Actually I said too much." I said with a smile while knowing that Theresa was looking at me.

Seele: "I'm very interested to see Senpai perform, he has the voice of a singing angel." I laugh seeing of how nice Seele compliment towards her son.

Cecilia: 'It's good that Kenji didn't get emotional during his lost last time. OH! Today is probably the best day to meet his girlfriend!"

水面に心を映したら
本音見えるでしょ？
優しさだけじゃ成長なんかできやしない

さあ　全てを脱ぎ捨てたら
本気の愛で正面突破しようよ(keep it up)

《Not a problem》

痺れ切らして横から'ハイハイっ'
なんて無理でしょ
大切な人守るため　勇気を乗せて
《ジャブジャブ》(jumping)

さあ　泣いても笑えばいい
結局愛は力をくれるんだから(keep it up)
Get up grip (Hey, just moments)
思いやりが真の強さ消しちゃうかも(でしょ？)
だから常にオープンでいよう

後悔拾って(今日も)
波に流そう(明日も)
新しい自分に出会う(take in, take in)
《Hey！》超能力なんかじゃない
《Hey！》超凝縮愛テレパシー　まだまだ

Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe
背徳の世界へ時間へ
今夜もまた不平が不満が染みつく
Destiny

100年の夢 100年の罪
1000年の闇 1000年の光を
憂いを味わう時もあり　裁きを受け継ぐ時もあり
どれだけの勇気立ち上がり
どれほどの無念積み上がる
こんな時代に　なぜ僕は生きているか
Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe　賢者たちが
崩れて　壊れて　愛の無い征服者　ねじ曲がった正義は朽ち果て
Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe
いつだってチャンスを待ってる
地球は　この国は　この街は　僕を待っている
Fantasy

森の中を歩いて行こうよ
あの日の僕は深呼吸をした　温もりと一緒に
Boy Just Meets Girl　出会いはどこに消えた
Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe
背徳の世界へ時間へ
今夜もまた不平が不満が染みつく Destiny

こんな夜あんな夜　どんな朝どんな夢　見ていたんだっけ
いつでもあなたと共にいた場所　約束の場所はあの扉開け
広がる軽々イメージ膨らむ　絡まる自由が飛び交う飛び散る
緊急な事態なんて宣言なんて　もちろん普通に
あ・り・え・な・く・て　つ・ら・く・な・く・て
夕焼けの雲から　差し込む光がプリズム　輝くきらめく
何もかもが変わらなくて　全て何か変わった

Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe　賢者たちが
崩れて　壊れて　愛の無い征服者　ねじ曲がった正義は朽ち果て
Do the Dive いま Do the Vibe
いつだってチャンスを待ってる　地球は　この国は　この街は
僕を待っている

After the performance Call of Artemis went behind the curtains and saw the 3MPIRES with their new attires as they also notice them.

Airi: "Ah! You guys look wonderful with those outfits! I love all of them!" Airi smiled at them as surprisingly they all smiled back.

Ayako: "Thank ya Ms. Amano! You girls performance were phenomenal!" Ayako said as she notice Shano looking at Kenji as she walk over to him and put her hand on his shoulder as he just looked at her hand.

Shano: "I wish you good luck out there, Kenji." Kenji just stood there silence until he look at her and saw her smiling and he smiled back.

Kenji: "Thanks, you ladies perform very well." Suddenly Mana hugged him tight.

Mana: "Oh! I was scared that you hated us! I didn't want you guys to hold a grudge against us especially me and plus I'm a huge fan of yours!" Mana said but let go of him as he just sighed.

Kieru: "We don't hate none of you, we were just upset that you guys cheated but don't think that we know that you four have a little streak." She smiled as Shano just laughs.

Shano: "I see... If you guys win the Future World Fes not only you guys defeated everyone units and bands groups and won your first World Fes but you also broke our streak and I wouldn't mind a little payback from you guys but I don't think that'll happen." 

Estuko: "We'll see about that Ms. Himegami! We'll break that streak of yours!" She said with a smile.

Toka: "Well what do you look at that." They all turn to Kenji's mother, his little sister and her friends.

Kenji: "Mom? Kiana?" Cecilia smiled at him as he walked over to them and she hugged him.

Cecilia: "Don't worry son, I'm not here to embarrass you before your perform I'm just giving you some confident." She let go of her bearhug as Kenji fix himself from that hug as she saw Shano and saw her smiling.

Shano: "Ah! You must be famous Cecilia Kaslana! It's finally good to meet you." Cecilia smiled.

Hiroshi: "Ah umm... Do they know each other Kenji?" Hiroshi whisper to him but he just shrugged as Kenji felt someone gently pulled his hoodie and saw that it was Seele.

Seele: "It's good to you again, Senpai!" He smiled and pat her on the head as she just smile and they all heard Mitsuki behind the curtains.

Mitsuki: "Now the last but not least, the one and only, the legendary DJ unit in across Japan... The 3MPIRES!!" Mitsuki shouted and the 3MPIRES started heading to the stage as Kiana shouted to her brother.

Kiana: "Broke a leg Bro!" Kenji gave his little sister a thumbs up without turning around.

(Music: Enemy) - THE 3MPIRES

(Official Singer: Imagine Dragons x JID) 

I wake up to the sounds
Of the silence that allows
For my mind to run around
With my ear up to the ground

I'm searching to behold
The stories that are told
When my back is to the world
That was smiling when I turned

Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us

Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy-y-y-y-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)
But I'm ready

Your words up on the wall
As you're praying for my fall
And the laughter in the halls
And the names that I've been called

I stack it in my mind
And I'm waiting for the time
When I show you what it's like
To be words spit in a mic

Tell you you're the greatest
But once you turn they hate us
(Huh)

Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)
My enemy(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y(Look)-y
(Look out for yourself)

Uh, look, okay
I'm hoping that somebody pray for me
I'm praying that somebody hope for me
I'm staying where nobody 'posed to be
P-P-Posted
Being a wreck of emotions
Ready to go whenever, just let me know
The road is long, so put the pedal into the floor
The enemy's on my trail, my energy unavailable
I'ma tell 'em hasta luego
They wanna plot on my trot to the top
I've been outta shape
Thinkin' out the box
I'm an astronaut
I blasted off the planet rock
To cause catastrophe
And it matters more because I had it not
Had I thought about wreaking havoc on an opposition
Kinda shocking they wanted static
With precision, I'm automatic, quarterback, I ain't talkin' sacking
Pack it, pack it up, I don't panic
Batter, batter up
Who the baddest?
It don't matter 'cause we at ya throat

Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
Oh the misery
Everybody wants to be my enemy
Spare the sympathy
Everybody wants to be
My enemy
(Pray it away, I swear)
(I'll never be a saint, no way)
My enemy
(Pray it away, I swear)
(I'll never be a saint)

(Look out for yourself)

19 minutes later, all of the bands/units were at the stage and it was time for the result for the best perform for tonight and Mitsuki was back on the stage with the envelope in hand and microphone.

Mitsuki: "Now is the time for the result and this envelope holds the truth of who it is." Mitsuki opened the sealed envelope and suddenly her eyes were widen open but smiled.

Mitsuki: "This Year's Future World FES Winner is... The 3MPIRES AND PEAKY P-KEY!" Everyone including the bands and units were shock about what Mitsuki revealed as Kyoko turned to Kenji with a smile on her face.

Mitsuki gave both Kenji and Kyoko golden trophy and Kenji saw her giving Call of Artemis a silver trophy and bronze to Poppin'Party and everyone returned to the behind the curtains into the backstage as Kyoko tapped on Kenji's shoulder.

Kyoko: " So... the both of us win, I'm glad that the both of us won but I, for sure didn't expect that." Kenji laughed.

Kenji: "Yeah, I didn't expect that either. Oh!" Kyoko and Kenji noticed that Kyoko's parents were walking towards them.

Kyoko: "Mother! Father!" Kyoko rans towards them as her parents hugged her until her mother looked at Kenji.

Kyoko's Mother: "Ah! This must be your boyfriend Kenji Kaslana correct is it?" Kenji nodded his head with a nervous smile on his face as her father put his hand on his shoulder.

Kyoko's Father: "There's no need to be nervous, I heard that you been treating my daughter with all the respect that she deserve so I know that we could trust you."

Kenji: "Thank you Mr. Yamate. Oh there's my mom and my sister over there!" Kenji pointed to them as they walked over to them.

Cecilia: "My boy win his first ever Future World FES! I'm so proud of you!" She hugged him and she noticed Kyoko walking up to them.

Kyoko: "You must be his mother, I'm Kyoko Yamate, his girlfriend." Cecilia smiled to her finally meeting her.

Kyoko's Mother: "It's good to see my daughter's boyfriend's mother." Kyoko's Mother gave Cecilia a handshake and Kiana put her arms around both Kenji and Kyoko heads.

Kiana: "How about we give these two winners a nice luxury restaurant to eat? Plus I'm hungry right now!" Kiana said with a smile and then let go of them.

Kenji: "That's my little sister for you..." He said as Kyoko quietly laugh.

Cecilia: "Haha... I guess we could do that, is that fine with you guys?" She said Kyoko's parents as they both nodded their heads.

Kyoko's Mother: "Yes but her father has plans after the event so sadly he won't be able to join us but we could join." She said with a smile as her father gave Kyoko a head-pat and wave goodbye to the Kaslana family. 

(Later that night) 

Kenji: *sigh* "Finally Future World FES is over and I'm stuffed from dinner with the Yamate. Her mother trust me enough to even marry her. I wonder about the future actually between both Kyoko and I... I know we'll make it so I have nothing to worry about... Nothing to worry, I should be worry about getting some sleep."

(With Kyoko) 

Kyoko: "Dinner was very good especially with Kenji. I gotten to know his mother and his sister including her friends pretty well, their pretty nice to me. Kiana, Mei, Bronya, and Seele, their my friends now including everyone at school. I'm still questioning my mom when she called Kenji her Son-in Law. I wonder what the future between us will hold. I'm happy to be with you, Kenji."
