[Before Sakura Igawa stands three warriors; General Ironwood, Adam Taurus and Pyro.]

Pyro: We are your death.
Sakura: Even with your world poisoning mine, I think you'll find Sakura Igawa isn't easy to kill.
Pyro: FIGHT!
[They fight. Though the battle is fierce, Sakura's ninja skills manage to overcome the pyromancer mutant and Pyro is knocked out for the count.]
Ironwood: Sakura Igawa wins! Now FINISH HIM!
Sakura: No! I won't kill!
Ironwood: You disappoint me. Still, your mastery over the supernatural is exceptional.
Sakura: I won't let this insanity destroy my world. I defeated your champion, now return me to Bellwood!
Ironwood: Your challenge is not over. Let us see how you fare against the savage fury of Adam Taurus' blades!
[Adam Taurus withdraws his blade and they fight. After another round of brutal fighting, Sakura Igawa still manages to prevail and beats Adam Taurus unconscious.]
Ironwood: Impressive...you would have fared well in my tournament. But I'm afraid you could never have been champion of the Vytal Festival - in the end, you would have faced General Ironwood!
[They fight. Not even General Ironwood's cybernetic enhancements can defeat the ninja skills of Sakura Igawa, and the general of Atlas is eventually knocked down. Sakura picks him up by his shirt and holds him above his head.]
Sakura: I've had enough of your games, James Ironwood! I've beaten you and your demons! Now before the combat rage overtakes me again, send me back!
Ironwood: As you wish...
[Sakura releases him. Ironwood uses a machine to open a portal to Bellwood and Sakura Igawa disappears through it. Adam Taurus and Pyro have now recovered from their thrashing as well, and they now face James Ironwood.]
Pyro: Mr. Sinister said Atlas would destroy her, but even here we could not defeat her.

Adam Taurus: How can we defeat a foe such as this?
Ironwood: We must return to Mr. Sinister. He may have the answer.
[Sakura manages to return to Bellwood. But a big surprise awaits her. What could be it? We'll see in the next episode.]
