While the fight between Kekera and Michinaga raged on back then, there was another event happening...
In the DGP Salon...

Ace had decided, to finally pay a visit to Tsumuri, if she's there.
"Nee-chan, you here?" He called out playfully.

His eyes widened in surprise as he saw Tsumuri on the ground, clutching hard at her chest.

Ace rushed to Tsumuri's side in a panic. Grasping her shoulders, he asked "Nee-chan? What's wrong??"

She winced in pain, one hand clutching her robes over her heart. "Ace-sama... don't... call me... your sister... Agh!"

"Don't move." Ace helped her sit up against the wall.

She winced, breath coming in shallow gasps. "My chest...hurts. Feels like...my heart is being squeezed."

Ace stood up, and saw Suel at the corner,
"Suel!"

Suel let out an inaudible laugh before leaving.

Tsumuri grimaced, struggling to breathe through the pain gripping her heart. Sweat poured down her pale face as she gasped, "The pain... is getting worse!"

From her form, she unleashed a wave of power. Ace got slightly pushed, the wave enlarged. It got all the way to the place Buffa and Tycoon were fighting: That's the source of the miraculous power.

After that, she went limp. Ace helped her to the medical place of the Salon.

In another place...
Sakurai sat alone on a secluded rooftop, gazing out over the city in quiet reflection. The sounds of celebrations from elsewhere failed to reach this high place.

"Hey." A familiar voice spoke up behind him. Sakurai turned to see Win walking over. He stood up against the balcony

Win spoke. "Congrats on getting your sister back"
Sakurai sighed. "Thanks... Win...I've been thinking. Now that Sara is safe, I no longer feel right continuing our battles."
"Oh right, we still are enemies to like five people after all. Besides they are your friends anyway." Win gazed out into the city.
"But leaving you to fight alone also doesn't feel right." Sakurai continued.

Win shrugged, "Don't worry about me. I don't care which team wins either way."
"Really? Don't you have a desire to fulfill?" Sakurai asked confusedly.

Hearing that, Win remembered his time with his band, Weather Hearts.
"I do. But now is not yet the time for that stuff. I now work as an undercover staff for the DGP." He said.
"Really? So you got brought back and still have to work for them??" Sakurai asked.
"Don't put it that way. There are things that I want to do, desires that I don't want to see wasted. Go ahead and do what you want, I'll help you retire if you really want to do so."

Sakurai smiled, relieved. "Thank you, Win. For understanding." A weight seemed lifted from his shoulders.

And then, a voice called out to them. "Win! Keiwa! This way, quick!" it was Neon.
"Neon? Why?" Sakurai asked but Neon just come up and pulled on his clothes, "I'll explain later, just go!"

Both of them made their way down as Michinaga and everyone else waited. Kyuun stood infront with a yellow time portal opened.

"Portal? Why?" Sakurai asked.
"He said something about the Grand End coming." Sasaki Keiwa said.
"All of your memories and desires will be wiped clean if we don't escape this era. The DGP is doing the Grand End in the 1300s era of Japan instead of now. The portal is ready, go in." Kyuun went in.
"I don't... really understand... but okay??" Sakurai and everyone followed.
