"Violet Eyes got 2 points. The result is 2 against 3. Violet Eyes is the winner." Announced the referee. They continued the tournament after the body of a man found. People believed he commit suicide after sabotaging the tournament. Shu still need some rest which mean Akane is the winner in her battle with Shu." I can't believe it. Hoya lose to that masked blader." Said Lui. "Lui. Why didn't you join the tournament?" Asked a voice. "I didn't expect you to ask that to me, Sayako. Specially after..." Lui unable to complete his sentence. "I know it's hard for you but... Nevermind. You'll know it one day." Said Sayako. "You and Amy... Really close, eh? Both hiding something that I'm sure is the same thing. Since you say so, I believe something bad is going on and the reason will reveal itself when the time comes." Said Lui. "I'm proud and glad that you understand about our privacy." Said Sayako. "I'm doing this for my own good and not for anybody. I really want and need to know who the heck is the masked blader." Said Lui. Sayako didn't say anything, since she's deep in thought. "Let's move on to the next round! It's the half final!" Announced Hanami. "Damn. I'm so nervous." Said Emily. "There's nothing to worry about. We're here with you." Said Valt. "Listen to your boyfriend, Emily." Said Akane. Emily just blushing. "To be honest... I really hope I can battle that masked blader." Said Akane. "Same." Said Emily. "Geez. She looks so tough. How can you guys sure you guys can beat her?" Asked Rantaro. "Hmm... Maybe I can't but... I'm sure Akane or Amy can beat her." Said Emily. "Guys. Let's go. Ken want to talk to you guys." Said a voice. "Eh? Are you sure, Daigo? They will announce the next battle later." Said Valt. "That's the thing we need to talk about." Said Daigo.

"Hey guys. Long time no see." Ken talk through Besu. "Yeah! I miss you, buddy!" Said Valt. "Miss you too." Ken talk cheerfully using his brown puppet. "So, what is this thing you want to talk about?" Asked Shu. Ken take off his puppets and keep them in his pocket. "So, you're braver now... I see. Come on Ken. Spit the words." Said Rantaro. Ken was about to open his mouth and say something when the light when off suddenly. "Why must it be this way in every-" Rantaro's words are cut off and replaced with some muffle sound. "Shh... Guys it's me, Ukyo. Shut up and follow me. Penny, Clio, Naoki, Jin, Sayako and me will bring you guys to a safety place." Said a voice.

"Ukyo. What happens?" Asked Akane. Ukyo looks at Penny and Sayako. Naoki sigh. "Their target is Ken. It didn't suppose to be Ken but... Since Ken know their secret... They want to kill him." Said Jin. Those words make Ken flinch. "Kill?! Ken?!" Asked Emily. "I accidentally hear what they say... About the masked blader... I know I didn't suppose to hear what they said... I run... Since I thought they didn't notice me... I was about to tell you guys about Violey Eyes identities until this happen... I'm... Scared..." Said Ken. "Don't worry. We will protect you." Said Daigo. "Thank you, everyone." Said Ken. Suddenly... The door opened...
