[edit] Story Detail
[edit] Prologue
The opening teaser depicts Fungus being restored by the spores after having been attacked. He thought he was going to die, but his land is indestructible. He deals Kaze a blow and chuckles meanly. Fabula appears and welcomes us back to Wonderland and the night. She outlines the details of the duel that began in the previous episode. "Why are you here? For whose sake do you come? And what of the fate of our lost travelers? Meteor."
[edit] Sporefall
- "Why don't you two go take yourselves someplace safe?"
- —Lisa Pacifist
Fungus calls Kaze's Magun usless against his awesome power. He suggests that Kaze make it easier by giving up. He might even agree to spare his life if he agrees to serve "his excellency." As he urges Kaze to speak up, Ai, Yu and Lisa fly overhead, riding on Chobi, transformed into the Legendary Ciel. "Let's get out," pleads Ai, but Yu says he has a feeling that they should stay close by. He doesn't know why, but he feels it's important that they watch this fight. Lisa suggests that they both take themselves someplace safe and get as far away as they can. She leaps off of Chobi and executes a Kigen Arts maneuver on the area mushrooms, sending a whole bunch fo spores flying everywhere. As Fungus is surrounded by the cloud of spores, Lisa takes advantage of the cover to run away. "Where? Where is he?" she wonders. As she continues to run, Fungus chuckles and uses his power to launch several mushrooms into the air, raining down as missiles. Up above, some of the mushrooms head directly toward Ai, Yu and Chobi, but Chobi is able to dodge them, only to end up flying straight into one of Fungus's hands. Fungus then spots Kaze in his hiding place, underneath one of the mushrooms. Kaze wants to use the Magun, but it refuses to move. He breaks out his conventional gun, but Lisa urges him not to use it, because he might hurt the kids. Kaze pays her no attention and begins shooting. All of the shots simply clink off of Fungus's armor and bounce away. Fungus reminds Kaze that he's in the birthplace of his soul. "You don't stand a chance against me here." He then declares that he's going to make him prisoner and summons a set of mushrooms that suck both Lisa and Kaze underground.
[edit] Imprisoned
- "Listen to me. Won't you come with me and help out here? They were just caught up in your fight, after all. You should ahve some sense of obligation towards them."
- —Lisa
From inside Gaudium, Earl Tyrant and Herba watch the proceedings with delight. "That's right!" squeals Herba. "Hughug, Magun baby! Hughug, hughug!" Sitting in front of a chess set, Pist acts bored. Oscha, however, says that they can always count on Lord Fungus. Makenshi descends by Oscha's side. As he starts to walk away, Oscha stops him. "Makenshi, one of the Five Lords of Gaudium. Where in the world are you off to?" he asks. "To look for Omega," responds Makenshi. The earl orders Oscha to bring him some more bucket juice as he continues to enjoy the fun. He promises to bring it right out. Lisa awakes in the dark land of mushrooms that she and Kaze have become entrapped in. She coughs, but it doesn't help much, as the air is filled with spores surrounding her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She gasps as she spots Kaze, standing alone and silent. She urges him to come back with her to help Ai and Yu, trying to appeal to his sense of obligation. As she grasps his hand, he has a flashback of himself being with Aura. Lisa asks if she's listening to him, not realizing that he's caught up in the flashback. "Why won't you say anything?!" she wonders. "Why do you insist on just making everything much worse?" As she sobs, Kaze says "It's calling me. The battlefield is calling me."
[edit] Prelude of White Heat
- "You can't fire the Magun at will anymore, can you?"
- —Makenshi
Suddenly, the air around them seems to change, somehow becoming lighter. Lisa recognizes it as Mist. She recalls Makenshi using a Mist attack against Kaze in "Makenshi: The White Etude." Makenshi suddenly appears behind Kaze. "For your own sake, you never should have awoken," he tells Kaze. "You exude such confidence, just like always," Black Wind. He asks why Kaze won't use the Magun and realizes that Kaze's gun became disempowered back in the original fight involving the gun dragon and sword dragon. "You can't fire the Magun at will anymore, can you? Well, isn't that just awkward for you?" He tells Kaze that he really doesn't get it. Anyone that stays in this land too long will have the spores eat into them, prohibiting their movement. He promises to put him back to sleep, using the Prelude of Brightness played by the Mist-- the Prelude of White Heat! He throws the Mist bottle into the air and surges forward, attacking Kaze.
[edit] Fungus's Captives
- "But now, the time for that world to be revived will soon come! And then some day, some day the time will come when I will be the one to control Wonderland!"
- —Fungus
Back up above, Ai, Yu and Chobi are imprisoned in Fungus's airship. Ai asks why he's always messing with them, "mushface!" Yu suggests that it would be better not to upset him. Ai responds that she won't be able to control herself if she doesn't and Fungus says that he's going to execute them in front of the earl. He explains that he must get rid of all those who threaten order in Wonderland. Ai isn't impressed with the idea that Wonderland should just belong to "big meanies" like him. Fungus babbles about the brand new order and the earl sitting in God's seat. "What's he talking about?" wonders Ai and Fungus says that he doesn't expect them to understand. Their homeworld will soon be consumed, too, just as his was. He thought his world could never be destroyed, but now, he stands on the brink of its restoration. And some day, he hopes to even rule Wonderland himself. The Mist appears and Fungus realizes that Makenshi has arrived. "Is that the guy who attacked the Comodeen?" asks Ai. Makenshi boards the airship and Fungus asks what his business there is. Makenshi informs him that Kaze is still alive. He says that he'll give him the privilege of finishing him off. "Of course you will," acknowledges Fungus. He uses "super solidification" to grow to a massive size, destroying the airship in the process and leaving Ai, Yu and Chobi tied to one of his arms by a rope. He yells for Kaze to come out and face him. Crux watches the scene from above and then flies about, spreading a bag a of a black substance of some sort. Kaze has emerged from his imprisonment and Fungus tells him that he can't hide from him in his own world. Lisa has emerged as well and observes Ai, Yu and Chobi's plight. "Make him stop it!" she urges Kaze.
[edit] Mold of Doom
- "My land has been infected by mold! Exactly the same as the day our world was destroyed!"
- —Fungus
Makenshi appears in the distance. "That's right!" shouts Fungus. "I'll crush all of you into dust with my bare hands!" But, before he can, the black substance reaches him and starts eating into his hand. All around, mushrooms crumble. "Why is everything crumbling? Is it mold?" He realizes that it's just like the day his world was destroyed. "The same nightmare coming back to haunt me all over again." "Mold?" wonders Lisa. "Is this a different kind of mold that somehow eats the mushrooms here?" As Kaze watches on, Ai wonders what they're going to do, as the rope binding her, Yu and Chobi is crumbling as well. As Fungus calls the destruction a "nightmare," Kaze flashes back to the destruction of his own world. "So, the same happened to you," he comments, seeming to feel pity. As Fungus continues to struggle, the part of his arm holding Ai, Yu and Chobi breaks off and they start tumbling toward the ground. Lisa races toward them, but gets caught up in a rockslide. Thankfully, they are saved by Chobi, who again transforms into the Legendary Ciel. Just then, something else happens as well. The Magun moves.
[edit] "I Summon You, Meteor Master!"
- "This power! I must say, Black Wind, to have you as my last opponent, it was good, truly. Truly an honor."
- —Fungus
"It has moved," realizes Kaze. Fungus says that since it's come to this, he'll use the last vestige of his power against Kaze. "Soil is my power!" replies Kaze. The Magun thaws. Kaze tells Fungus that his nightmare will soon come to an end. "With you right alongside it!" promises Fungus. He yells and punches the ground, but his body is crumbling and he is unable to launch an effective attack, so Kaze launches his. "The Soil Charge Triad to use against you has been decided! The roar of the sky engulfed in flames: Horizon Gold. The daggers of an angry rain: Arrow Black. And finally, the light that drives a wedge into eternity: Photon Silver. Destroy! I summon you, Meteor Master! Kaze fires the Magun and a Tonberry-like summon appears. A light bursts into the sky and meteors begin raining down everywhere. One of the meteors hits Fungus straight in the gut and he collapses. He admits defeat, calling it an honor to have had Kaze as an opponent. He had a feeling that Kaze was truly Unlimited. "And now, I can finally die." He is shown burning in a column of flame as the meteors continue to pour down. Inside Gaudium, the projector shuts off and Earl declares himself full. Herba calls Fungus a "silly willy" and Pist describes him as "naive to a fault." Earl asks Oscha what the news with Chaos is and Oscha responds that Chaos is "perfectly satisfied." The Earl calls that "good for Fungus," saying that he did a splendid job. Back in Fungus's world, Lisa, Ai, Yu and Chobi watch the fire and smoke from a distance. Ai and Yu thank Lisa for saving them. She's glad their safe, but wonders what they're going to do with Kaze.
[edit] Prophecy
Fabula predicts that the lost travelers will face their strongest enemy. "Makenshi, who sees the true shape of Chaos. Time will now start to move in great strides. Omega: Reunion and Departure. Next time, more Unlimited guidance."
