Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, End it with a bang (Chap 32)

Synopsis: With the battle concluded in the sanctuary, the final decision has been made. However, before doing so.....

A few flashbacks were shown based on the Sanctuary's battles. Many have fallen. Judgements were given one after another. Emotions, Beliefs, Reasons were exchanged. In the end, A victory was made.

Now, it's time for a goodbye.....But before that, something's going on in the mansion. In a bedroom, Hou Ren was seen sleeping on his bed. When he wakes up slightly, he notices a note on the side of his bed. He picks it up and reads it.

Hou Ren: "Did you enjoy your nap? We have a surprise for you. Wear your new outfit on the door and come outside."

Hou Ren notices his outfit behind his door. It's a new white jacket with a black casual t shirt and blue jeans. He puts it on and did his hair. He looks at in a mirror, reflecting his good nature.

He opens the door and party decorations are all over the living room. Delicious food and drinks were also seen and there's even a birthday cake on the table. 

Hou Ren: What is....

Suddenly, multiple people pop out of nowhere and surprised him.

???: SURPRISE!!!

Hou Ren: Ah! (Happy) What the freak?

Elijah: It's still your birthday man. Of course we had to celebrate it.

Hou Ren: But....how long was I out?

Garga: 5 hours. You were having a good rest and we didn't want to wake you.

Hearing this, Hou Ren's smile becomes warm.

Hou Ren: Thank you....

Daniel: Oh and Bonus, (Tease Shiloh) Shiloh wrote that note and bought those new clothes.

Shiloh: (Blush) Daniel....Sorry if I pick the wrong size....

Hou Ren: It fits well don't worry. (Realized) But wait....don't we have to leave? Why are we still here?

Tasuku: Well....Seeing that you adore what's made here, we thought why not spend one last day in California.

Ranma: Consider it as your new birthday present.

Hou Ren: I see. Well.....Let's Party then.

At Hou Ren's request, the birthday party started. Judah & Micah being the DJs while everyone else party. All of Hou Ren's friends give him new Birthday Presents. Pictures are taken everywhere as they enjoy some food. Later, Hou Ren went outside for a bit & Garga follow him.

Garga: Something the matter?

Hou Ren: I'm ok. I just want to get some fresh air.

Garga: I see.

Hou Ren: Although, I'm glad I get to have this party and all but......I'm gonna miss this place.

Garga: I knew you would say that, which is why we planned another surprise for you.

Hou Ren: What do you mean?

Garga: (Calls out everyone else) Everyone, it's time to go.

Hou Ren: Huh?

Garga: Just follow us.

Hou Ren was feeling curious as his eyes blinked multiple times. Garga activates a portal and he jumps in. Everyone else follow but Hou Ren's parents & Tasuku.

Hou Ren: You're not coming, Commissioner?

Tasuku: I think I maybe a bit too old for this. Besides, someone needs to manage the airship.
