Path To Liberation, Countdown To Demise (Chap 27)

Synopsis: Lost Ren is the last remaining knight before his brother takes the mantle. His new power makes him simmilar to his old self. His opponent is none other than...Anime Opening: Knock On Your Gate.While Agent's battle ensues, Lost Ren is walking down one of the sancutary hallways. His expression is hateful but he retains his calmness. He remembers Hou Ren's request to him & Agent. A flashback was revealed, showing Triple D in the throne room.Hou Ren: I need you both to not release your prisons.Agent: Why?Hou Ren: Agent. You're facing Commisioner Tasuku. He's like a higher up. The same with Light. Respect your elders they say.Agent: Oh yeah.....Lost: So it seems. My guess is that despite the respect, you still want us to stop them.Hou Ren: See if they're worthy of seeing me. Don't hold back using the new powers I bestowed you with. The judgement is all on you.As the flashback ends, Lost Ren remains stern as he walks. Just a heads up, his true form is him wering a dark purple trenchoat and black tshirt and black trousers. His sneakers are dark as night. His half-face mask is also dark. He also wears dark fingerless gloves. The bottom part of the jacket is quite torn and the collar was up.Lost Ren: (Thought) Of course Agent certainly won't. But I rather do this my way. The judgement is mine alone. (Thought)Lost Ren stops as he heard footsteps in front of him. He then look to see the person who walked before him is.....Light: Lost Ren.Lost Ren: Light Kurouzu.Light: It's been awhile.Lost Ren: I'm surprised you showed up. I thought you and Tasuku have better things to do.Light: (Shrugs) What Can I say. I came to save your brother. Also, he needed my help so.....Lost Ren: I don't care. And I'll only say it once. He doesn't want to be saved. Leave.Light: No can do. (Holds out his deck)Lost Ren: (Closed his eyes) So be it. Suddenly, massive dark winds are waving and wrapping around them.

Arise....Corrupted Crystallized (Slam the ground) Prison.As the ground was slammed, giant purple shards & crystals rose from the ground.

It's like you said, the Dark Destiny will swallow you whole. Your Fate Has Been Sealed.The Clock Destroys itself and everything is covered in a Dark Foggy Mist. Everyone was scared as they were inside the mist and suddenly inside the Mist, an Oni appeared inside the mist and flew infront of Light and used it's scythe and sliced him From Above.Oni: Fall From Grace Will You? (AS He Sliced Light From Above).Light: Ahhhh.As Light's Flag is destroyed...Oni: I Win.All: IMPOSSIBLE.The Oni then fly towards them while scaring them. Revealing itself as he reverted back to His Original Form. It was none other than Lost Ren himself.Gwen: My goodness.Ranma: He won....regardless of the opponent's Life Points.....Lost Ren: Victory has never been bitter sweet. Especially when I'm up against someone who uses the same tactic. And Now that you've lost....Light was about to receive Judgement but instead Lost Ren snapped his fingers and the prison dissapears. This made everyone curious.Light: What in the world? Lost Ren: Relax, I'm not that of a Monster. (Feeling Reluctant) And even though you lost....you passed the test.Light: What do you mean?Lost Ren: I was only testing you to see if you are worthy of seeing Hou Ren himself. You passed so.Light was curious at first but in the end, he felt relieved to hear those words.Lost Ren:(Feeling disapproved) But as for those morons over there, I don't care that you've won your matches. Begone from sight right now.Ranma: But....Agent: WAIT.....Lost Ren. Give them a chance.Lost Ren: Hmmm?Agent: Commisioner said they've changed. And Ranma & Light are not traitors. Please. Lost Ren: Do you have dyslexia? They've teamed up with the traitors so it made sense that they are also traitors.Agent: Then I'll take the blame if things go wrong.Everyone else were surprised. Lost Ren was feeling more hatred but then he decided to calm down.Lost Ren: Fine. But Nothing Suspicious or else I will NOT hesitate and slice you to ribbons.Everyone but Ranma, Agent and Tasuku felt scared but at the same time relieved.Lost Ren: Follow me.Everyone followed Lost Ren to the Arena. When they got there, they were quite surprised. What's before them was a defeated Eden & Daryl knocked down to the ground. Gwen and Ranma rush in check on them.Gwen: Eden, Daryl. Are you Okay? What Happenned?Daryl: Yeah...except...Eden: We lost.....to him. (Pointed at The Man infront of them.)Everyone but the brothers were shocked and worried to see the person infront of them.....Ranma: Hou Ren...COTDLost Ren: It's Time For....Agent Ren: Agent and Lost's.....Both: Card of the Day.Lost Ren: What am I looking at here? Spit it out.Agent Ren: Just Chill Will You? We're gonna be taking a look at your new impact "Oni's Finale, Dead End Ringer".Lost Ren: This impact is very powerful but very difficult to master. So Pay Attention Idiots. This impact requires 2 life and it can only be used as a set card. Everytime the player's turn begins or a card from the opponent's deck is sent to the dropzone, A card can be placed from the deck right into it's soul. But Only Once.Agent Ren: At the end of the player's turn, if this impact has 12 or more cards in it's soul, the player automatically wins the game. The Cards in the soul cannot be removed or dropped. Intense Huh.Lost Ren: So what you think folks?Agent Ren: Think you can open up one of these?Both: You Never Know Until You Try.Anime Ending: Promise You.Story End.
