"No way, you're from like, the feudal Japan???" A voice belonging to a young boy rang out.

"Yes, so I will need to be back there eventually..." Ayoko said.

Ayoko is breaking the news to her 'fabricated' family. Things may have been just fake, but the happiness she got is real, she will forever treasure them, fake or real.

Her father comes out, addressing the boy, "Come on, Kaito, don't bother her."

"Will- will you actually be gone- and like not come back??" The boy asked, tears begin to appear.

Ayoko smiled and cupped his cheeks, "No, you silly. I will try to come back, as often as possible. Time travel is one of many things that we can do, after all."

The boy was soothened a little bit, "Really???"

"Yes" she stood up.

"But still..." she turned around, "Let's do alot of fun things together! One more time!"

"Yes!"

Ayoko tried to continue her smile. But seeing this family, it hurts her to leave. She treasured every single one from here, every moment, it was priceless. Therefore, she would surely make the best of her remaining time.

Meanwhile...

More of the city went up in black flames. A big portion of Tokyo is no longer habitable, due to the flames and Jyamatos. As the Jyamatos launched another attack, Geats was there to stop them.

As Geats battled the Jyamatos, he noticed one hanging back from the others - the flower Jyamato from before. It seemed distressed as its comrades pressed it to attack a fleeing civilian.

When the floral creature still refused, the other Jyamatos lashed out at it angrily, pushing it to strike a civilian. The monster came closer, its speed decreasing the closer it gets.

[DETACH]

Geats quickly detached the auxiliary blade from his weapon and use the energy rope to bring the citizen to safety.

"That one sure acted weird." He said

With the civilians now clear, he unleashed a swift fireball attack.

[BOOST TACTICAL DESTRUCTION!]

The exploding projectile cut through the hostile Jyamatos, disintegrating them safely away from inhabited areas. In the confusion, Geats leapt forward and snared the flower Jyamato in energy bonds before it could flee or come to harm.

Geats recalled its earlier reluctance towards violence as well. Something told him this one wasn't like the others razing the city.

Dropping both of them in a back alleyway, he detransformed to hopefully appear more friendly.

"Why did you hesitate to strike that person?" Ace asked.

The monster shook a little bit, its voice speaking up, trying to make coherent words, "Pe- peace... Don't... want fight..."

Surprise momentarily flickered across Ace's face. A Jyamato that doesn't want to fight? That's new.

Ace continued, "I mean no harm, but don't you hate humans?

"Want.." it put its left hand up, "Humans...", its right hand up, "Jyamatos...". It then moved both hands to conjure a heart shape, "Peace"

Sympathy stirred within Ace. He knows he has to get to the bottom of this. Opening up his Spider Phone, he makes a quick reflection of Tsumuri for communication.

"Excuse me, nee-chan, can I ask what the Jyamatos like genuinely are?" He asked.

Tsumuri nodded, and began explaining, using another hologram to make her point. "The Jyamatos are one of many Plant Animals. These creatures appear in the far future, their first sighting can be found on the 27th century. They are defined as living animals that evolved from different Plants we have in Earth today."

She continued, "The Desire Grand Prix grows a specialized creature named Jyamatos, to act as an antagonist force in the game. Ace-sama, why did you ask?"

Ace turned to the capture creature, "This one... not only it can talk, by itself, but it also wants peace."

"I see..." Tsumuri mused, "The Desire Grand Prix was never made to deal with this issue."

"With this as an ally, we can probably do something about the Archiflora for once, and then, hopefully," Ace turned to the monster, "Let them have actual peace without fighting."

"If they developed this level of sentience, it's probably better to stop treating them like tools, and more or less like an animal." Tsumuri said, looking at the creature in sympathy.

Ace came closer to the creature, "Do you want peace for your entire kind?"

The creature looked at Ace, hope sparkling in its face, it nodded slowly.

"Then help us. I'm sure it is Archimedel forcing you to fight. Help us, and you will receive the love and peace that you deserve" Ace then turned to Tsumuri, "Nee-chan, please send the news to everyone. We may have something in our hands here."

Tsumuri nodded as she dissapeared from the projections.

"Hmm... shouldn't she get mad that I called her sister yet again?"

Meanwhile...

Avara sat inside a cafe shop, far away from the ruined portions of the city. She tapped her fingers against the table frustratedly. With Neon solidifying her Creation residue, there's no more target for her other than Ace.

"Oh I hate this..."

Suddenly, her tablet rang, somebody was calling. She lazily tapped to call. It was from fellow Desire Jack members.

"Hello, this is Avara speaking."

"We found the exact code and procedure to Design the Goddess of Creation, and we also purged the equipments."

Avara's eyes lit up immediately. She abruptly stood up, causing utensils to clatter. Patrons shot annoyed looks her way.

"Miss, can you please keep it dow-"

Before the man could finish, Avara vanished in a flicker of blue. The customers stared agape.

"Wh-what just happened?! Where'd she go?!"
