Previous Episode
Four kids are sitting around computers discussing how their modified monster just lost. They realized that their opponent
used data drain and the only person to obtain such a power is Kite and that he must be eliminated.
Shugo and the girls decide to head to the beach. They seem to be enjoying themselves until Sanjuro shows up and tells
Shugo and Rena that he wants to speak with them in private. He tells them that this is just a game and that they should be
out doing things in the real world. This game is called "The World", but it is not the real world. Sanjuro then
flashes back to a conversation he had with Balmung, it seems that Balmung wants Shugo and Rena to quit. Sanjuro is confused
because with the Twilight coming, he knows that they will need Shugo and his bracelet. Balmung says that they are merely
players as are many other children and not CC Corp employees. They can only help if they want to. Shugo and Rena completely
miss the true meaning of Sanjuro's lecture, but they are not ready to give up the world just yet. Shugo is determined to
stay in to find out what Aura meant by saying only he could save the world. Sanjuro warns them if they come across anything
out of the ordinary or anything that might seem a little strange, that they should contact him immediately.
After the lecture, Rena and Shugo see a couple of boys trying to take a rare ball from a little girl on the beach. So,
they head over to the girl and get her ball back from them. When Shugo gives her back the ball, the girl takes his Member's
Address and then quickly teleports away.
In the real world, Shugo looks on his terminal to find out that he has email. When he opens it, there is a picture of
Aura asking him to help her. Most of the text is fragmented and difficult to read so Shugo logs into the game to see if anyone
can help him decipher the text. Thanks to Mireille's super rare decode, she is able to decipher most of the information and
tells Shugo that he should head to Haunted Woodland Muderhouse.
Balmung and Reki discuss the recent claims of weird happenings in The World. Balmung decides to leave everything up to
Reki, but when he is about to exit the field, several Knights try to confine him and charge him with tampering with the system.
A woman, Kamui, steps in and tells the knights that they are system administrators and that they have a right to be fixing
the system. When Reki asks what is going on, Balmung explains that Kamui is a member of the Cerulean knights a group that
is charged with protecting the order of the system and they are CC Corp personal group designed to delete modified user accounts.
Shugo and the others have arrived at the mansion and are now wandering around. Inside the mansion, Rena gets scared when
a lightning bug glows inside a suit of armor. Determined to show the others that she is not afraid of the mansion, Rena decides
to go off on her own. While this is happening, Komiyan watches from behind a picture and figures this is his chance to save
Rena and win her affection. As he runs to protect her, he trips and is covered by a sheet. While he is staggering around,
a knight's helmet falls off a suit of armor and onto him. When Rena sees this "monster" coming towards her, she
attacks Komiyan and flings him out of the mansion's window.
While the groups is searching for Rena, they are attacked by powerful monsters. While they are fighting, the groups tells
Shugo that he should go find Rena so they can escape this place.
Desperate to find her way out of the mansion by herself, Rena follows a bug into a weapons room and then is locked inside.
The bug then transforms into an evil hologram of Aura, who laughs that it trapped Blackrose. The hologram says that even
though they were looking to trap Kite, Blackrose will still work. Suddenly, the hologram turns into the Grim Reaper and attacks
Rena. With one hit she is close to death. Luckily, Shugo enters in time and attacks the monster. Unfortunately, this monster
will not die either. Seeing how there is no other option, Shugo performs a Data Drain. Rena, still desperately in need of
healing, starts floating to the ceiling. Just then Mireille and the others run in and Mireille tries to heal her multiple
times, but nothing happens. Then Rena disappears right before everyone's eyes.
In the real world, we see someone trying to contact Rena, but she is not there to pick up her cell phone. It seems something
has happened to Rena as a result of the incident that just took place.
