Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, Doubts Of A Maiden (Chap 13)

Synopsis: Gwen and her friends decide to train before heading to LA. Along the way, Gwen has a few questions. Ranma & Light appears before her and test her.....

Back in Singapore, Ranma is observing Hou Ren's fight against Ms Shafi in his room. As he spectates, Ranma is feeling worried about the way his best friend has changed.

Ranma: You've changed.....(Takes a look at his picture with Hou Ren) Where are you man?

????: I can help you.

An entity appears behind him. The entity has a demonic face while powerful smoke rides around him. That entity is Vanity Husk Destroyer.

Ranma: Destroyer.....Show me where he is.

Anime Opening: Usseewa

At school, as the foyer and then the cafeteria was shown, Daryl, Masato, Natalie and Gwen are at the Buddyfight stage along with their Buddies. All of them are feeling serious as they prepare to train.

Daryl: Time to train everyone. We're heading to LA in a week. It's up to us to bring our friend back.

Natalie: Daryl, no offence but the way you said is like you are trying to force Hou Ren to come back to us.

Masato: That's kind of harsh.

Daryl: I know, but obviously if we talk instead, he would've refuse. Plus his brothers are there defending him. We need to fight in order to get him back.

Natalie: But then again he's also quite an attention seeker so.....

Gwen: I sometimes wonder why Hou Ren is so desperate about proving himself...

???: It's because he is afraid & wants your trust.

Ranma Kakogawa & Light Kurouzu approaches them.

Daryl: Ranma.

Masato: And Light.

Gwen: What do you mean afraid?

Light: We'll answer that. But I have a message from Tasuku. He says he's busy at the moment, he sent me to help you guys in preparation.

Ranma: And I want to see for myself if you all have what it takes to fight him. Prove it to me that you all are.

All of them stare at both with intensity. The four of them are prepared to do what's what as they nod in agreement.

Light: Seems like you all have agreed. Very well. I'll fight first. Who shall be my opponent?

Natalie: I'll do it.

Ranma: Alright. Then who shall be my opponent?

Gwen: Me. I want some answers.

Later at the buddyfight stage, Light prepares to Face Natalie.

Light: I have to warn you though. I went under my Father's tutelage and I'm not the same person you expect me to be.

Natalie: Right.

Ranma: Okay. Buddy...Fight.

Both: Raise the flag.

Natalie: Legend World.

Light: Darkness Dragon World.

While the battle progress through, At Saint Order Academy, Eden and Gavrail are observing Hou Ren's match with Ms Shafi. The two are quite surprised to see their rival is using a new flag. While at it, they feel concern due to their friend's changed behaviour.
