Path To Liberation, Love Is In The Air (Chap 25)

Synopsis: Despite the battles are going on, a break is required. And as the full moon shines bright in a beautiful night, two people decided to.....

Anime Opening: Knock On Your Gate

At his Throne room, Hou Ren was feeling saddened and disappointed that Magician & Rockstar lost as he reacts to them through a screen.

Hou Ren: You both did your best.....(Shuts the screen down) (Activates Comms) Garga. Sensei. Retrieve them to the healing bay.

Sensei & Garga: Got It.

Hou Ren: (Thought in calm rage) They grown stronger....Just Great.....Even still, I won't be swayed by them.....But if I were to lose then....

Hou Ren then took out his phone and looks at his pictures of him and Shiloh sharing happy moments together. Looking at them, he smiled sadly.

Hou Ren: Shiloh. Can we talk for a sec?

Shiloh heard his voice and walks to him.

Shiloh: Yes Hou Ren?

Hou Ren: Would you...(Pause in surprise) Woah.....You look....

Shiloh is wearing a new beautiful pink dress. Her hair became longer a bit. She sparkled bright as a glowing sun as she smiles warmly. Her Aura was even shown.

Hou Ren: ....pretty.

Shiloh: Do you need something?

Hou Ren: (Blushing Cutely) Well, I do need to ask something.....(Fawning) Why are you so beautiful?

Shiloh: (Blushing Cutely) Thank you…..

Hou Ren: What's the occasion?

Shiloh: I thought why not try a new look and surprise you. But never mind that. What do you want to talk about?

Hou Ren: Oh....uh...

After a brief transition, the two of them are at the Sanctuary's Arena. They are standing right in front of the full moon.

Shiloh: So you're worried that you're gonna lose?

Hou Ren: It's not that I'm worried about. It's the aftermath. Like if I lost in a match later, then does this mean we...

Hearing this, Shiloh turned from curiosity to warm smile. She comforts him along the way.

Shiloh: Don't worry. I know how you feel. It's okay. I don't care that you lose a match or not. I just want to be with you regardless. After all, it's just a game.

Hou Ren: Shiloh....

She then walks infront and leans herself towards the latter and grab his hands.

Shiloh: Wanna know something? My Love for you….kinda grown stronger ever since that accident.....

Hou Ren: Is it?

Shiloh: Yeah....But please, don't try risking your life like that again Okay? (Leans her head on his chest) I don't want to lose you.....

Shiloh begin to cry as tears came out sadly. Feeling surprised and saddened, now it's Hou Ren that's comforting her.

Hou Ren: Hey Hey, It's okay.....It's okay. (softly pat her) I'm right here.....(kissed her head)

Shiloh felt warm after the kiss and comfort.

Shiloh: Regardless, I want to be with you nonetheless. I want to be with you till the end.

Hearing this, it's Hou Ren that's being in tears. In terms of emotions, joyful is the only word to describe how he's feeling.

Hou Ren: (hug her) I'm glad I met you.

Shiloh hug back in respond. It was warm and comfortable as the two did it with smiles on their face. While closing their eyes too, the two of them glow, leaving them in surprise. Many glowing white birds appear and are flying around them.

Shiloh: Woah....

Hou Ren: What is....

Two unknown glowing cards appear around the creatures and was given to both of them as it lands on both of their palms.

Shiloh: Two cards....

Hou Ren: were created?

As they look at the cards, the birds are still flying around the scenery. It was completely angelic. Radiant so to speak. This gave Hou Ren an idea as he puts away his card.

Hou Ren: You know.....I want to do this for a long time.

Shiloh: What do you mean?

Hou Ren: Well.....

Hou Ren took off his shoes and took two steps behind Shiloh and offer his right hand.

Hou Ren: May I have this dance? 

Shiloh blushed for a moment and smiled in a warm way. She bowed in response with a curtsy.

Shiloh: Oh Hou Ren...how genteel. (Took of her shoes and proceeds to take Hou Ren's arm)

Hou Ren: This reminds me of a song.

Tango Music plays in the background. (P.S. It's a parody of "Out For Love" from Hazbin Hotel) As the music plays, Hou Ren sings while Shiloh felt surprised and happy as they dance. It was elegant smooth, passionate, graceful. The water ripple and glisten even more as they dance. It's a fascinating sight to see.

Hou Ren:

Underneath the full moon, lies just you and me.

Our lovely romance is as happy as can be.

And here we are, dancing to the beat.

I feel a connection the moment we first meet.

I know it's a lot to take in, Shiloh. And I know you're afraid.

But I'm here right now, don't you worry, I am here, mi amor.

I'm here, Mi Amor. Amooooor.

Your not alone anymore.

Don't you worry now. I'm here,

Mi Amoooor. Amooor.

When we're together,

there's nothing we can't handle.

There's gonna be many challenges ahead of us,

Trying to break us apart right now.

But we are strong together and no one will make us,

To Bend to their own will now.

I know it's a lot to take in, Shiloh. And I know you're afraid.

But I'm here right now, don't you worry, I am here, mi amor.

I'm here, Mi Amor. Amooooor.

Your not alone anymore.

Don't you worry now. I'm here,

Mi Amoooor. Amooor.

When we're together, there's nothing we can't handle.

And We will always fight on long as we're out for LOVE.

(All of the sudden, the two awaken new Angel Wings behind them up in the air. Their wings are so radiant that feathers flew out of it and birds flying around them. As they fly, the embrace each other and kiss once again.)

Hou Ren: Woah. You unlocked your powers.

Shiloh: I felt amazing. And I didn't know you can sing and dance that well.

Hou Ren: Thank you. (Blush and look away) You're kinda cute no offense...

Shiloh: (Blushed happily) Why you (peck on his cheek).....I like your new wings.

Hou Ren: Yours too.

???: I'll say.

The two turn their attention towards the entrance as they hear a voice and tons of applause. It's the remaining knights (minus Magician, Rockstar, Lost & Agent), including Garga, the Gar Trio and the juniors. They all smile bright as they clap for their wonderful performance.

Garga: Marvelous Dancing, You Two.

Blaze: Yeah. That was absolutely beautiful.

The two were surprised as they close their wings. They blushed in cute embarrassment and felt happy nonetheless.

Hou Ren: Yeah....We did that..... And I love it.

Shiloh: Me too. But why are you guys here?

Sensei: We heard something going on the arena. So, we came to check it out.

Elijah: Same after we run some errands.

Hou Ren: I see.....Wait, where's Lost Ren & Agent Ren?

Trickstar: They are in their matches at the moment. Lost is facing Light while Agent is fighting Tasuku.

Hou Ren: Ah....Wait. (Opens up a screen) This guy....

Garga: He released his prison.

Hou Ren: Darn it. I specifically told him not to.

Blaze: I mean bro, He's like a calm loose cannon.

Elijah: Yeah he's like me. I always do my tasks in the dark.

Everyone look at Elijah weirdly.....

Elijah: What?

????: Hello? What's going on?

Sensei: I know that voice.....

Once again, they turn their attention towards the Entrance and Blaze & Kaizer move out of the way to reveal the voice.

Hou Ren: (Sternly) Eden....

Garga: (Sternly) Gavrail....

Eden: Hou Ren.....It really is you....

Hou Ren: It's been awhile.....

???: Hello?

Another voice is heard.

Hou Ren: Not you again.....

Daryl: Hi.....

Sensei: What do you want to do with them?

Hou Ren thinks for a while and then turn towards to Shiloh and the rest of his team...

Hou Ren: All of you. Leave us.

Shiloh: Are you sure?

Hou Ren: I'll be fine. Besides, That's An Order.

Shiloh & Blaze Ren: Yes, My King.

The knights (including Shiloh and her brothers) bow and leave the arena. This leaves Hou Ren, Eden & Daryl in the room.

Daryl: So.....

Hou Ren's expression turn deadly serious.

Hou Ren: We....have a lot to talk about.

COTD

Hou Ren: It's time for....

Garga: Hou Ren And Garga's

Both: CARD OF THE DAY.

Hou Ren: Today we're gonna talk about "Hou Ren's finale, Piercing Through Heavens".

Garga: It's a very powerful spell card, made specifically for Hou Ren himself. How does it work?

Hou Ren: While this spell card can be used in all worlds, you need to pay 1 gauge and 1 life in order to activate one of the two abilities.

Garga: You can either nullify an opponent's card when attack of your card fails, OR, you can nullify the card activated by the opponent during the their turn.

Hou Ren: Basically, it nullifies cards as mentioned. You just have to decide which one to use. Offense for the first. Défense for the second. Use it well.

Hou Ren: So what you think guys?

Garga: Think you can open up one of these?

Both: You never know until you try.

Anime Ending: Promise You.

Story End.
