Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, Denial (Chap 47)

Synopsis: Ranma just received good news and wishes to share it with Shiloh and Hou Ren. Meanwhile, someone else wants to...

Ranma is editing some new videos on his computer for his and Hou Ren's YouTube channel back in Singapore.

Ranma: Let's see, I'll just put this here.....and this effect there.....

Suddenly, tons of notifications came from his phone, and it started ringing like crazy. Ranma was surprised.

Ranma: Whoa, what's this?

Ranma then has a look at the notifications and then smiles brightly as he sees them.

Anime Opening: Black and White.

From the view of Hou Ren's Car porch and then to his room, where he is sitting at his table and in his thoughts with both of his arms on the table. His expression is quite calm and stern. There, he remembers a flashback at the BP HQ.

Past Tasuku: No.

Past Hou Ren: What?

Past Tasuku: I said no. We will not hack into the Gaen Tower's security cameras and files and find some clues there.

Past Hou Ren: But...

Past Tasuku: Stealing Private Information is a serious crime, even for the Buddy Police.

Past Hou Ren: But this is for a good reason. We're trying to crack the case and reveal Kyoya's true intentions.

Past Tasuku: Even so, I cannot allow it. We're the Buddy Police, but we are certainly not above the law.

Past Jack: We made an oath to protect and serve, not to hack and steal.

Past Agent: I have to agree. Kyoya, so far, has done nothing wrong. We have no authority and no proof to arrest him.

Past Light: Even if we attack now, we would be caught instead, and we would be pressed for charges.

Past Hou Ren: Oh...

Past Tasuku: I'm sorry Hou Ren. Right now, I forbid you to try anything dangerous until the coast is clear.

Hou Ren is quite saddened and shocked to hear what's what. The Flashback ends.

Hou Ren: (Thought) There's gotta be something we can do. (Thought)

Suddenly, his phone rings and he picks up the call.

Hou Ren: Hey Ranma, what's up?

As the conversation continues through the call.....

Hou Ren: Huh? Right now?

After a while, somewhere in Singapore, Hou Ren and Garga come out of a portal. And then Hou Ren checks his phone.

Hou Ren: Okay, this is the spot. He said to meet him here.

???: Hou, over here.

They spotted Ranma waving from afar and ran towards them.

Hou Ren: You said it's urgent, but you're so happy.

Ranma: I am. But we need to wait for another person first.

Another Portal appears before them, and Shiloh walks out of it. Both Shiloh and Hou Ren were surprised to see each other, and she also smiled.

Shiloh: Ranma? Hou Ren? Why are you two together?

Hou Ren: I was going to ask the same thing. (realized) Wait, scratch that. Why are you here?
