[Group of kids]: *Cheerfully* Baku! Baku! Play a game with us!

[Baku Cree]: Uh-oh… Hopscotch!? Ah crap... Here goes… nothing! YAAAH!

*Baku plays hopscotch with the kids.

[Baku Cree]: Aaahh… Kids, I would love to stick around and play, but I should really be on my way! Baku’s very busy! Hehehe...

[Group of kids]: Now double dutch!

[Baku Cree]: *Begins jumping rope twice as fast* AAAHHH!!!

[Group of kids]: Wow, World Guardian! You’re so cool! Play with us some more, pleeeaaassse!

[Baku Cree]: *panting* *panting* Sorry kids, but I’m running behind schedule! Maybe next time, okay? Ah geez, she’s gonna kill me if I’m not on time!

[Construction Worker]: Hey, World Guardian!

[Baku Cree]: Huh!? What is it now!?

[Construction Worker]: Can you help us lift with this bronze statue of you?

[Baku Cree]: What the heck!? I didn’t approve of this! Damn it, if Barrtio and Finn somehow had anything to do with this... *Ugh* Fine… CRYSTAL… GAUNTLETS!!!

*Baku assist construction workers place a large bronze statue of himself.

[Construction Worker]: A little more to the left!

[Baku Cree]: *Struggling* *GRRR* !!!

[Construction Worker]: Wait, it’s uneven! A little more to the right!

[Baku Cree]: *Struggling* AAGGHH!!!

[Construction Worker]: Perfect! Right there!

[Baku Cree]: UUGGHH!!! *panting* … *panting* Alright… Alright, I’m done here!

*Suddenly, a massive crowd of people blocks Baku’s way.

[Crowd of fans]: BAKU! WILL YOU SIGN THIS PAPER!? BAKU! CAN I GET A PICTURE!? BAKU! WILL YOU KISS MY BABY!?

[Baku Cree]: I’M SORRY, BUT DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! Crystal… BOOTS!

*Baku dashes off, running away from the massive crowd of fans demanding for his attention.

[Crowd of fans]: HEY BAKU’S RUNNING AWAY! HIS BOOT ABILITY GRANTS HIM EXTRA SPEED! HOW DO YOU KNOW? YOU CAN READ IT HERE IN THE OFFICIAL BAKUPEDIA! WHOA, CAN I HAVE ONE! NO WAY THIS IS MINE! HEY, BAKU’S STILL GETTING AWAY! AFTER HIM!

[Baku Cree]: *Running* THIS IS RIDICULOUS! A FEW WEEKS AGO, I WAS A NOBODY, AND NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN EVERYBODY'S GOING CRAZY OVER ME! Huh? There it is!

*Ring! Ring!

[Florist]: *Smiling* Welcome to the Crystal Rose Flower Shop! How can I help you today, Mr. Guardian?

[Baku Cree]: *pant* … *pant* Hi... I need… a dozen roses… and two dozen violets…

[Florist]: How delightful! I hope these go to an extra delightfully special girl!

[Baku Cree]: They are going to… two extra delightfully... special girls…

[Florist]: Oh, who would’ve known the World Guardian was such a player!

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* That’s not how it is… Alright, so how much do these cost, ma’am?

[Florist]: For you, Baku… Free!

[Baku Cree]: Nonsense… Surely, they’re worth something?

[Florist]: Well, I couldn’t dare charge the World Guardian anything!

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* Is being the World Guardian make me above the law, too? Here just take this and keep the change…

[Florist]: *Surprised* B-But this is a thousand gems! They aren’t worth this much!

[Baku Cree]: I don’t care! Happy birthday!

*Ring! Ring!

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* Alright, I got the flowers… Now it's time to head back to the palace!

[Crowd of fans]: HEY! THERE’S BAKU! ARE THOSE FLOWERS FOR ME!? EEEKKK!!! HE’S SO ROMANTIC! COME HERE BAKU! WE LOVE YOU!!!

[Baku Cree]: GEEZ, YOU GUYS JUST DON’T QUIT! WELL, I’M OUTTA HERE! Crystal… BOOTS!!! See ya!

*Baku dashes off again headed to the Royal Center away from the crowd of adoring fans.

(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: Royal Palace- Main Hall)

(Scene: Baku arrives at the Royal Palace freshly showered, fully dressed in a fancy pink tuxedo and his hair tied all the way back)

[Baku Cree]: I’M HERE!!! AM I TOO LATE!?

[Nicolatrice Cree]: *Smiling* Welcome home, Baku!

[Baku Cree]: Mom! *panting* So... I’m not too late… Awesome… Mom, I got you… these…

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Aww, roses! Baku, how did you know they were my favorites?

[Baku Cree]: Well… I am your son, after all… So, maybe it was a hunch.

[Nicolatrice Cree]: You’re so cunning! So, are you ready for your big date?

[Baku Cree]: I think so… I went for a run… Got the flowers… and I took a shower… So, I think I’m good… Do I look good? Am I wearing this tuxedo correctly?

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Yes, Baku…. You look great! And you don’t need to be nervous! Just have fun and be yourself!

[Baku Cree]: I’m know, but… I just want today to be perfect for her…

[Nicolatrice Cree]: I have a good feeling that the princess will have a great time simply spending time with you and her friends!

[Baku Cree]: Perhaps you’re right…

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Of course, I’m right! You know what they say about mothers!

[Baku Cree]: That they shouldn’t make their kids go to school if they don’t want to?

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Well, not quite, but…

*Baku and his mother laugh together. The king and queen enter the Main Hall.

[King Jeremiah Cree]: Good afternoon, World Guardian. You look snazzy. Did the maids finally get their hands on you?

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: *Gasp* Are all of those violets for me, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: Uhh… Not really… But…You can have one if you want…

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: *Smiling* I want thirteen of them!

[Baku Cree]: B-But that’s more than half of them!

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: Haha! I don’t care!

[Baku Cree]: *Ugh* Fine… here, your highness…

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: Oohhh, you should have! *Sniff*

[King Jeremiah Cree]: So Baku, I forgot to ask… How was your training with the Five Royal Knights?

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: They didn’t go easy on you, did they?

[Baku Cree]: Uhh. No, those three months that were condensed to one day was definitely worth it… I even learned a bunch of new attacks! I’d show you them, but I don’t want to get my pink tux sweaty.

[King Jeremiah Cree]: Fair enough. I’m glad the training was effective for you. But how about you, Prince Majorku? How do you fair?

[Prince Majorku]: *Yaawwnn* … I feel good.

[King Jeremiah Cree]: Excellent. Do you think you could beat Baku if you guys had a rematch right now?

[Prince Majorku]: Is that a challenge, father!? *Equips dual arm blades*

[King Jeremiah Cree]: It very well may be.

[Baku Cree]: WELL, IT’S NOT! I’M NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IN MY TUX! PLEASE STOP TRYING TO PROVOKE HIM!

[Royal Guards]: NOW PRESENTING, PRINCESS SAVANNAH AMETHYST CREE!!!

[Baku Cree]: *GASP* !!!

*Princess Savannah appears in the Main Hall and descends the long staircase slowly in a beautiful purple prom dress that is reflecting light off its extra fine threads. The dress itself hugs the princess’ body in all of the right places only revealing her shoulders and her voluptuous chest. Her jet black hair was done beautifully, and her make up was exquisite with long eyelashes and a dark shade of sparkling violet eye shadow.

*Everybody is impressed by her elegance that is unique only to her. However, Baku who was absolutely stunned, had his jaw dropped. Savannah approaches Baku, makes eye contact with him and smiles the way she always does when looking upon her adopted little brother.

[Princess Savannah]: Hello, Baku…

[Baku Cree]: *Stunned* …………

[Princess Savannah]: Baku darling, you’ll catch flies if you keep your mouth open like that. *Savannah softly closes Baku’s mouth.

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* ......... I-I got you these…

[Princess Savannah]: Wow, violets! *Sniff* How did you know these were my favorite?

[Baku Cree]: Master Medellon told me...

[Princess Savannah]: Hmm… I see… Wait… Are there only eleven, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: Uhh… The flower shop was... running out… of flowers…

[Princess Savannah]: Well, it is Homecoming, after all… Speaking of which… Your doll, you aren’t planning on taking that with you, are you?

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* Uhh… Well, I guess… I take it everywhere I go… It’s like my good luck charm…

[Princess Savannah]: Ahh, so you’re trying to get lucky tonight, are you? Well then, I hope you’ve brought protection at least...

[Baku Cree]: *Embarrassed* N-no I d-didn’t! I-I m-mean, no I’m not!!! Wait!!!

[Prince Majorku]: Haha! Yes he is!

[Princess Savannah]: Then leave the doll here, Baku… *Softly touches Baku’s face* You don’t need it to dance…

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* … Okay, you’re right…

*Baku approaches his mother.

[Baku Cree]: Mom, will you please hold on to Curemi tonight, while I’m gone?

[Nicolatrice Cree]: *Smiling* Of course, I will! So, you finally thought of a name for her?

[Baku Cree]: *Smiles softly* Yeah… I don’t know why, but I like it…

[Nicolatrice Cree]: I like it too! It’s a beautiful name!

[Baku Cree]: Well, I should get going. Are you still down for tea later?

[Nicolatrice Cree]: O-of course, B-Baku…*Teary eyed* Oh my Goddess… *Sniff* I’m sorry, I just... can’t get over how much you two look perfect together…

[Princess Savannah]: I know, he’s the perfect little brother, isn’t he?

[Baku Cree]: *Blushing* …

[Princess Savannah]: *Flirtingly* So cute… Let’s take pictures, Baku…Sebastián, won’t you please?

[Butler]: Yes, milady…

*Savannah grabs Baku and hugs him close to her.

*Snap! Snap! Snap!

[Butler]: Excellent, milady…

[Princess Savannah]: Thanks, Sebastián! Are you ready to go, Baku? We shouldn’t keep our friends waiting anymore.

[Baku Cree]: … Yes, princess… Oh! Um… What time do you want her back home, your highness’?

[King Jeremiah Cree]: Ten o’clock on the dot.

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: *Chuckles softly* Midnight will do just fine, Baku…

[Prince Majorku]: And not a minute late. Got it, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: No problem, bro!

[Princess Savannah]: Bye mommies! Bye daddy!

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Have a wonderful night you two!

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: Go easy on him, Princess!

[Prince Majorku]: And don’t get any funny ideas Baku! She’s your sister remember!

[King Jeremiah Cree]: Yeah, we wouldn’t want to hear about how he messed up their first kiss…

[Prince Majorku]: Or worse…

[King Jeremiah Cree]: *pfft* HAHAHAHA!!!

[Prince Majorku]: HAHAHAHA!!!

[Queen Anastasia Cree]: You two are the worst…

[Nicolatrice Cree]: Hehehe…

*Baku and Savannah leave the palace and board a royal chariot that was waiting for them in the courtyard.

[Princess Savannah]: Baku, we are going to meet everyone at Lady Akamiko’s Manor, kay?

[Baku Cree]: For sure, I feel like I haven’t seen her in a while.

[Princess Savannah]: Indeed, tonight’s going to be a very fun and magical night for us, Baku… Are you excited?

[Baku Cree]: I’m a little nervous…

[Princess Savannah]: Why?

[Baku Cree]: Because I just want everything to be perfect for you, Princess…

[Princess Savannah]: Don’t worry about me, Baku. If anything, I should be making tonight perfect for you since you're going to be the World Guardian and such… By the way…

[Baku Cree]: Hm?

[Princess Savannah]: I asked you not to bring your doll… So why did you bring your sword?

[Baku Cree]: Uhh… I don’t really know… I didn’t mean to bring it, but it kinda reappeared to me before I left the palace… Sheath and all... The Five Royal Knights told me it looks for my Soul Energy or something.

[Princess Savannah]: Well, I guess you are the hero… You will protect me from danger right, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: Of course, Princess!

[Princess Savannah]: Good, then I’m going to make tonight very special for you…

[Baku Cree]: *Blushing* A-alright… *Thinking to himself* What in the world does she mean by that!?

[Princess Savannah]: Welp, here we are. Hally and Yuri should be here already. Let’s head in.

(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: Royal Center- Akamiko Manor)

(Scene: Baku and Savannah arrive at Lady Akamiko’s Manor)

[Princess Savannah]: Do you hear that Baku?

[Baku Cree]: Yeah, what’s that sound?

*As Baku and the Princess climb the stone steps of the front patio, they can hear a loud noise coming from the other side of the large glass door of the grand manor. Upon entering, they witness Master Medellon and Lady Yamabushi caring for Lady Akamiko who is tears and yelling at the top of her lungs. Her make up ruined as it runs down her face.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Princess Savannah]: *Surprised* Oh my goodness… Miko? Why is she crying?

[Baku Cree]: What’s going on here!? Did something happen to her?

[Halenday Medellon]: Oh, princess and Baku…

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: Now may not be a good time…

[Baku Cree]: Why? What made Lady Akamiko so worked up like this?

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* BAKU, YOU BASTARD! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

[Baku Cree]: *Shocked* WHAT!? What are you talking about, milady!?

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* GET OUT! GET OUT! GET OUT! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

[Princess Savannah]: *Worried* I’ve only seen her get like this once…

[Baku Cree]: What is she freaking out about!?

[Halenday Medellon]: Baku… Mikodo Danzer broke up with Lady Akamiko earlier this afternoon.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Baku Cree]: What the hell!? Then why is she screamin’ at me? If you want me to kick his ass for you I’ll do it, but I don’t see how any of that’s my fault!

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* HE SAYS HE DOESN’T DATE GIRLS WHO ARE FRIENDS WITH FREAKS!!! *Crying intensifies* WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT YOU MONSTER!!! HE BROKE UP WITH ME BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

[Baku Cree]: *Grrr* ……… You don’t know how ridiculous you -- …

[Princess Savannah]: Baku, we should leave… There’s no helping her when she gets like this…

[Baku Cree]: ………

[Halenday Medellon]: You guys should go ahead to the High University… We’ll calm her down…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* GET OUT, BAKU! I HATE YOU! *Picks up a vase.

[Halenday Medellon]: Lady Akamiko!?

[Baku Cree]: HOLY CRAP! CALM DOWN!

*Lady Akamiko hurls the vase at Baku, luckily, he catches it.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU!

*Lady Akamiko continuously throws more and more vases at Baku. However, he catches them all without fail.

[Baku Cree]: Lady… Akamiko… Stop… Throwing… these priceless precious vases!!!

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Ugh* Hurry up and leave so we can start making her feel better… You’re not helping by being here, Hero Boy.

[Baku Cree]: … Alright… I’m sorry, Lady Akamiko…

[Princess Savannah]: We’ll see you guys at the dance.

[Halenday Medellon]: Yes, we’ll be right behind you two!

[Mitsune Akamiko]: *Crying intensely* WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Baku and Savannah leave Akamiko manor and reboard their chariot, this time headed to the High University.

[Baku Cree]: ………….

[Princess Savannah]: Are you okay, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: I … Feel like I ruined her whole life unintentionally…

[Princess Savannah]: You mean Lady Akamiko? Yes, it seems that her heart break was result of you defeating her boyfriend’s buddy back in the Crystal Dome Games…

[Baku Cree]: Yeah, but… How was I supposed to know that he was gonna choose his dumbass bro over his girlfriend? That seems super ass backwards...

[Princess Savannah]: I'm not sure, perhaps it is part of this bro code that I've heard about... You should know more about it than me. Anyways, there was no way you could’ve predicted that would happen, little brother… Whatever happened in the past already occured… So, there’s no point in trying to change it…

[Baku Cree]: Geez, that’s deep, Princess… It just sucks because, well, Lady Akamiko’s been excited for the Winter Homecoming Dance since we started hanging out together…

[Princess Savannah]: Well, Baku… Sometimes things don’t always go exactly as planned… It’s most likely what you do with the shattered pieces of plan A, that determines how well plan B is executed…

[Baku Cree]: … If you say so…

(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: High University- Gym Auditorium)

(Scene: Baku and the Princess arrive at the High University and gets everybody's attention)

*Finally, the royal chariot arrives at the High University, pulling into reserved parking. It immediately gains everybody’s attention as the party goers who also just arrived wonder who's inside.

[Crowd of Students]: *Gasp* !!! Who’s in that chariot? I don’t know… Oh my Goddess, they must be rich! I’m jealous… I wish my boyfriend was that rich!

[Princess Savannah]: Are you ready, Baku?

[Baku Cree]: *Deeply inhales* Yep, let’s do it… Right this way, Princess.

[Princess Savannah]: Thank you, darling…

*Baku holds Savannah’s hand as she steps down from the chariot, lifting her dress as her purple high heels touch the concrete of the property. She slowly and carefully takes her time; the young hero takes extra care to ensure she doesn't miss a single step.

[Crowd of Students]: *Gasp* !!! OH MY GODDESS!!! IT’S THE PRINCESS AND THE WORLD GUARDIAN!!! ARE THEY DATING!!!??? HOLY CRAP, TALK ABOUT LUCKY!!! THEY’RE GONNA WIN HOMECOMING KING AND QUEEN FOR SURE!!! NOW I’M REALLY JEALOUS!!! HEY C’MON, I’M TRYIN’ HERE!!!

[Baku Cree]: They’re all staring…

[Princess Savannah]: Welcome to popularity, Baku. Don’t worry, you’ll get used to it in time.

*Baku and the Princess enter the dance hall; it was the gym where normally pep rallies and the like were held. It was a wide and spacious area and the faculty members opened up the ceiling to let the natural glow of a moon shine into the place, causing the wooden flooring to glow with luminescent light.

*Students are already dancing and having a good time and enjoying the catering. The dance hall was decorated with pink balloons, streamers and other beautifully crafted party favors. Everyone was dressed formally and were minding all of their manners.

[Princess Savannah]: Wow… Everything looks perfect, doesn’t it little brother?

[Baku Cree]: Yeah, it does. Even though they still decided to go with all pink…

[Princess Savannah]: Baku, darling…

[Baku Cree]: Hm?

[Princess Savannah]: I’m thirsty. Bring me punch.

[Baku Cree]: Hmm… Yes, princess. No problem.

*Baku goes to the punch table. It is also overly decorated and home to large bowls of multiple fruity drinks and sweet treats.

[Leonidas Quark]: Hey, Baku!

[Baku Cree]: Oh, hey Leo! Fancy meeting you here! Nic tux!

[Leonidas Quark]: Thanks! It’s premium grade cotton! Hey, have you met my girlfriend, Esmeralda?

[Esmeralda]: Hiii, Baakuuth!

[Baku Cree]: *Surprised* Oh, uhm. Hello, Esmeralda? It’s nice to see you, uhh… *Gulp* Ma’am… Alright, Leo your girlfriend looks…… *Gulp* Okay!

*Esmeralda was a really nice girl, wearing braces and had a lisp. Her dress was very pretty and matched Leo's tuxedo.

[Leonidas Quark]: Thanks, Baku! She’s my beauty and I’m her beast!

[Baku Cree]: Hehe… Yeah, buddy…

[Leonidas Quark]: So Baku, who are you here with?

[Baku Cree]: Oh me, I’m here with the princess. She’s standing over there waiting for me to get her punch.

[Leonidas Quark]: HOLY NEUTRONS! You scored the princess!?

[Esmeralda]: Wow! You tooth must be perfecth togethhurr!

[Baku Cree]: *Smugly* Yeah, I know right… Pretty cool, huh?

[Leonidas Quark]: I’ll say! First you win the Crystal Dome Games, then you date the princess! I gotta say Baku, I didn’t think you had it in you to get a girlfriend and be this awesome! You’re almost as cool as me! Well then, we’ll see ya later! Have a great night!

[Baku Cree]: Yeah, I know… I am totally rad, huh? Wait… What'd you just say!? *Sigh* Nevermind… I gotta get back to the princess…

*Baku returns to the princess who is waiting patiently for him.

[Baku Cree]: Sorry I took so long, princess!

[Princess Savannah]: What took you so, Baku? I was thirsty, waiting for your return…

[Baku Cree]: I ran into some friends.

[Princess Savannah]: You have friends?

[Baku Cree]: Very funny, princess… How’s your drink?

[Princess Savannah]: It tastes very good. Thank you.

[Baku Cree]: Great…

[Princess Savannah]: Looks like Yuri and Hally made it…

[Baku Cree]: Is Lady Akamiko with them?

[Princess Savannah]: I’m not sure… *Smiling* Hi, cuties! You two look so adorable all dressed up together!

[Halenday Medellon]: Thanks, princess! I must say the same to you two as well! You both look absolutely stunning! Especially you, Baku! That pink tuxedo really compliments your eyes!

[Baku Cree]: Thank you, Master Medellon. You look super stylish in white, as expected. Lady Yamabushi, I love your floral dress. I think it fits you quite well... and you didn’t bring your sword? Wow, that’s different…

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: … Thanks, I see you did… I would have but Hally convinced me that I wouldn’t need it… Also, you look… okay…

[Baku Cree]: … Oh, true… Uhh… Did Lady Akamiko come to the dance?

[Halenday Medellon]: Yes, she’s… over there…

*Lady Akamiko sits alone in the dark on the bleachers.

[Princess Savannah]: My poor baby…

[Halenday Medellon]: It took us a while to calm her down, and even longer to convince her to come to the dance… She is truly heartbroken by her breakup…

[Baku Cree]: ………

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: Don’t blame yourself, Baku. You did what had to be done… Your victory was for the fate of the entire world.

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* ... Yeah, I guess you’re right… Wait a minute, did you just call me by my name!?

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: I did… And?

[Baku Cree]: So… Do you finally respect me or…?

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: Of course, I don’t, you idiot. You still haven’t even beaten me in combat yet… I only called you that because I thought I’d give you a little break for tonight since you are with the princess, out of respect for her… So, don’t think I’m getting soft, got it?

[Baku Cree]: *Sigh* Yes, milady…

[Millia Grendar]: Baku! Princess!

[Baku Cree]: Oh, hey guys! I’m glad you all made it!

[Princess Savannah]: EEEKKK! MILLY! YOU LOOK FABULOUS!

[Millia Grendar]: Thanks, princess!

*Lady Millia wore an adorable pink dress adorned with an assortment of blue and shiny white pearls.

[Baku Cree]: You guys look spiffy too! I’m glad you guys came besides not having dates.

[Finn]: Now, I wouldn’t say that…

[Baku Cree]: You mean you got a date?

[Finn]: *Nervous* Uhhh…

[Millia Grendar]: Hey Finn, can you get me some punch? I’m kinda thirsty…

[Finn]: No problem! I’ll be right back!

*Finn runs off to get some punch.

[Baku Cree]: Hmm… Hey Barrtio, who’s your date?

[Barrtio]: *Sigh* I don’t have a date man; I only came because Finn and Millia dragged me along…

[Baku Cree]: … Hmmm… Well… Maybe you have a chance with… Lady Akamiko?

[Barrtio]: What? I thought she was with Danzer?

[Baku Cree]: Actually, she’s newly single… Check it dude, she’s over there.

*Baku directs Barrtio toward where Lady Akamiko is sitting depressedly in the darkness on the bleachers.

[Barrtio]: *Nervous* *Heart Beating* … Wh-what? But… I-I …Sh-she’s… uhh…

[Baku Cree]: Come on dude, give it a shot! What’s the worst that’ll happen to you?

[Barrtio]: I could embarrass myself in front of her and everybody in the school…

[Baku Cree]: And the best she’ll say is yes, dude! Give it a shot, before someone else does!

[Barrtio]: … *Gulp* … Okay… I’ll… try…

[Baku Cree]: Good luck!

[DJ MC]: *Speaking into microphone* Alright everybody, it’s time to take your special someone and get ready for the sloooooow daaaaanceeee…

*Romantic music begins to play, and the lights dim. All the students start slow dancing with their dates.

[Baku Cree]: … Whoa…

[Princess Savannah]: Ahem… Baku, aren’t you going to ask me to dance?

[Baku Cree]: *Blushing* *Nervous* … Umm… Right… Uh… *Ahem* Princess, may I have this dance?

[Princess Savannah]: I thought you’d never ask…

*Baku extends his arm to his date, she accepts it, and begins to slow dance with Princess Savannah who softly places her right hand on his shoulder.

*Baku takes a deep breath as he nervously tries to find a place to put his other hand, deciding the arch of her back was a safe option. He observes the rest of the gym, hoping to get an idea on how the other guys were dancing with their dates. Halenday and Lady Yamabushi are dancing together in elegance and perfect synchronization.

[Halenday Medellon]: You look absolutely incredible… Lady Yamabushi…

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Blushing* *Shyly* Oh, Hally… *She leans into his chest, finding comfort in her bestfriend*

*A few yards from them, Lady Grendar is slow dancing with Finn who tries to keep his composure.

[Millia Grendar]: *Smiles softly* Just do like we practiced, okay?

[Finn]: *Nervous* … Ahem… Alright…

[Baku Cree]: *Thinking to himself* Nice, my boy did it… Hm?

*Across the dance floor, Baku catches Barrtio slowly making his way to Mitsune Akamiko who is still sitting alone. Barrtio nervously catches Baku’s eye, he silently mouths to him:

[Baku Cree]: Do it…

[Barrtio]: *Deeply inhales* Okay… I got this…

*Barrtio slowly approaches Lady Akamiko.

[Barrtio]: *Nervous* … Um… Excuse me… Lady Akamiko?

*She slowly looks up, showing no reaction when her tired eyes meet Barrtio's.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: ………

[Barrtio]: *Ahem* Would you like to dance?

[Mitsune Akamiko]: ……… Aren’t you… Baku’s friend?

[Barrtio]: *Gulp* … Uh, yes… That's me. You invited me and another one of our friends to the mall and we also have a cooking class together… I was the one who made that fruit salad pizza you liked that one time...

[Mitsune Akamiko]: Oh, right… Yeah... I remember you now…

[Barrtio]: So, would you be interested in a dance, milady?

[Mitsune Akamiko]: … *Sigh* … I’m sorry but, I’m just not in the mood to dance right now…

[Barrtio]: Yeah, I feel that... I don't really like to dance either....

[Mitsune Akamiko]: … Then why are you here?

[Barrtio]: Because my friends dragged me along with them even though I don't have a date.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: No, I mean why are you here in front of me right now?

[Barrtio]: ... Well, I guess it seemed to me that you needed a friend... So, I...

[Mitsune Akamiko]: We aren't friends... I don't even know you like that...

[Barrtio]: Oh, sorry... I thought since both of our crews have been hanging out --...

[Mitsune Akamiko]: Our "crews" have nothing to do with eachother and they never will...

[Barrtio]: … Really? So you aren't friends with Lady Millia either?

*Lady Akamiko's eyes widened when she realized what she just said. She hides her face in embarrassment behind fingerless golden gloves, the same color as her expensive dress and heels.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: ... I-I... Didn't say that... Sorry, it’s just that… I don’t want to be around anyone that reminds me of Baku… I really don’t want to be around him, right now...

[Barrtio]: Why is that? I can guarantee you that Baku couldn't do anything to make you feel this way…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: … What the hell do you know…?

[Barrtio]: *Sigh* Because I get it… Rejection sucks in a big way… Happens to me all the time…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: …

[Barrtio]: But you’re never gonna feel any better than you are now if you keep on sulking about some guy who never deserved you to start with…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: Shut up… You don’t know him like I did…

[Barrtio]: You’re right, maybe I don’t… But I’ll be damned if someone I care about isn’t having fun with the rest of the people I care about…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: … You… Care about me?

[Barrtio]: Yes… milady…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: But why? We aren't even in the same social class...

[Barrtio]: Well, you don’t have to come from the same background as someone to care about them… That’s what separates the people who do good for the sake of being good. From the folks that do good because it’s the right thing to do…

[Mitsune Akamiko]: What are you a philosopher or something?

[Barrtio]: My friends say I’m pretty smart… So, milady, will you please at least dance with your friends? I hate seeing you like this when everybody else is having a good time…

*Barrtio extends his hand out to Lady Akamiko who still sits on the bleacher.

[Mitsune Akamiko]: …… *Sigh* Yes, I suppose…

[Barrtio]: ………

*Barrtio takes Lady Akamiko’s hand, and she follows him to the dance floor where they begin to slow dance, they begin talking about life among other things. Barrtio catches Baku and Finn staring at him amazed at his accomplishment and give him a thumbs up.

[Baku Cree]: *Thinking to himself* Awesome… Everybody’s dancing with somebody… I guess it all worked out in the end… This is great…

[Princess Savannah]: Baku…

[Baku Cree]: Hm? What is it, princess?

[Princess Savannah]: Can I show you something?

[Baku Cree]: Uh, sure. What is-- ... *Blushing* HOLY WHOA!!! What the hell are you doing!?

*Princess Savannah slowly reaches into her large and soft cleavage in front of Baku. She carefully pulls out what seems to be a pink envelope that has been opened before.

[Princess Savannah]: I found this in my locker, amongst many, many others last Valentine's Day, Baku... I think it's a love letter... And I think I recognize the hand writing... Would you like for me to read it to you?

[Baku Cree]: N-no... Please don't...

[Princess Savannah]: Well, basically, it goes on and on about how whoever wrote it really, really likes me... I mean they really, really like me...

[Baku Cree]: .........

[Princess Savannah]: Are you nervous, darling?

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* Umm… No…

[Princess Savannah]: Oh? Not even a little?

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* Nahhh… I’m good…

[Princess Savannah]: I see, well, what if I... do this…?

*Princess Savannah suddenly takes Baku’s right hand which was placed upon the bare skin of her smooth back and leads it down the curve of her wide, velvet covered waist.

*Delicately, she guides it until he's to come in complete contact with her full bottom, controlling his fingers to clench their grip on her body. The teenage girl smiles naughtily, her entire being shivering with an excitement that had never been experienced before. Finally, unrestraining herself, she then takes Baku and pulls him in closer to her chest, to be nuzzled between them like pillows. The sweet scent of his cologne in combination with the freshness of his hair made the princess not want to let him go for even a second.

[Princess Savannah]: *Smiles flirtingly* Are you nervous now, Baku?

*Savannah continues to dance with Baku, rocking him slowly back and forth. She held the World Guardian, keeping him seductively locked in her arms that were laced in long purple gloves that shimmered in the moonlight, much like the rest of her body.

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* *Heart Beating* *Blushing* …………………………. *Thinking to himself* HO-LY CRAP!!! WHAT IS SHE DOING!? IS SHE MESSING WITH ME OR DOING THIS ON PURPOSE!? CRAP, THIS IS ALL BECAUSE SHE FOUND MY STUPID LETTER! HOLY CRUD, THIS IS TOO MUCH… SHE’S OVERPOWERING ME! I CAN FEEL HER DRAINING MY SOUL ENERGY… I-I think …

[Baku Cree]: *Thinking to himself* W-wait a minute… No wait, this is normal, right? We’re only slow dancing… So, maybe she wants to do this? Perhaps this is what she meant by making my night special… Damn, she sure does now what she’s doing… Man… This is awesome… I don’t want this to end… Ever… Even though she is technically older my sister… Who also knows that I'm in love with her... Then again, it’s only weird if you make it weird, right? You know what? Screw that crap, I deserve this… I’m the World Guardian, I passed all of my classes, and I won the Crystal Dome Games… After everything I’ve done, been through, and will go through, this is the least I deserve… *Deeply inhales* Oh man… She’s even wearing her special perfume… La luxure d'Aphrodite: pour elle... This is awesome…

[Princess Savannah]: *Whispering in Baku’s ear* How do you feel, Baku? Do you like this?

[Baku Cree]: It’s… nice…

[Princess Savannah]: Good… Your satisfaction makes me very happy... So, Baku, I wanted to ask you… You’re going to become the World Guardian very soon and begin your adventure to save the entire planet from destruction… Are you ready?

[Baku Cree]: Yes, I am…

[Princess Savannah]: Wouldn’t you rather be with me forever instead? Like this? *She hugs him ever so slightly more*

[Baku Cree]: ………. Umm… Yeah, I would love that, but… You know, the Holy Goddess calls…

[Princess Savannah]: Indeed… So, are you going to protect everybody?

[Baku Cree]: Yes, I will…

[Princess Savannah]: Will you even protect me?

[Baku Cree]: Of course, Princess… I’ve told you this before, haven’t I?

[Princess Savannah]: Do you promise? To protect me forever and ever no matter what?

[Baku Cree]: Yes, I promise Savannah… I’ll protect you… No matter what…

[Princess Savannah]: *Smiles seductively* Excellent… I’m relying on you… Baku…

*Savannah begins to run her fingers through Baku's long black hair, who himself is overcome by the total ecstasy that comes with being in close contact with the princess. He didn't want to let go of her for even a second, his grip tightening on everything the teen boy could get his hands on.

[Princess Savannah]: Baku… Don’t you agree that you and I are a perfect combination? We can accomplish a lot of things together… Someone as smart and clever as me, along with the World Guardian… We could be unstoppable… Don’t you think?

[Baku Cree]: I suppose that’s correct…

[Princess Savannah]: Isn’t that something you would like, Baku? To be with me like this... forever?

[Baku Cree]: Yes, I would like that very much…

[Princess Savannah]: Then prove your loyalty to me, Baku… *Whispering in Baku’s ear* And kiss me…

[Baku Cree]: *Nervous* *Blushing* … What???

[Princess Savannah]: Kiss me, Baku… Let me lust you…

*Savannah leans forward, taking a hold of Baku’s face, tilting it slightly to align with her own. Looking deeply into his eyes of bright aventurine, she takes a slight breath, and closes hers.

[Baku Cree]: *Heart Beating* *Thinking to himself* ……. Oh my god…… This isn’t happening……

*Savannah begins pulling him towards her soft, and luscious lips, their tongues centimeters away from touching eachother. It felt as if they were alone and everything around them got even darker as time came to a halt for this very moment, in a false and twisted attempt to last forever. This was it; Baku was finally going to get his first kiss.

*From the princess.

*The girl who resided within his deepest, most secret and immature desires.

*The ultimate beauty in the entire Crystal Kingdom, was going to choose the World Guardian to be her first romancing.

*This wasn’t a dream.

*Everything Baku was experiencing was a real life fantasy. He closes his eyes upon taking one deep breath, relaxes all of his muscles and submits himself to the princess for her to have...

*At least he would have, had it not been for a bright light piercing the starry sky above them, where the ceiling of the gymnasium had been open. Resulting in an intense flash blinding everybody in the dance hall…

[Princess Savannah]: *Confused* … Baku, what is that?

[Baku Cree]: *Opens his eyes* … Huh? !!! *Thinking to himself* What the hell!? Is that Soul Energy I’m sensing!?

*Everyone blocks they’re eyes from the light. It was as if the sun, which is normally many planets away and across the horizon, was suddenly right in front of them. A massive amount of Soul Energy unveils itself from the shining glare in the sky.

*Out of it appears a creature. It had muscular arms and legs. Resembling a man in armor. Except unlike any other man, it had glowing whitish-yellow wings with dove-like feathers that were beautiful and flush.

*Everybody stares in absolute awe at the graceful figure appearing out of the heavenly light. He slowly descends from the sky and slightly hovers above everyone in the dance hall. Opening his eyes of piercing blue and gazes upon all of the students.

*Unable to comprehend what they are witnessing; silence fills the gym as even the slow dancing music stops with a scratch. At last, the creature speaks, in a language that for some reason... everybody understands…

[???]: ………. Where is the World Guardian?

[Baku Cree]: *Stunned* ………

[Princess Savannah]: *Stunned* ……….

[Everybody]: *Frozen* …………

[???]: You… You are Aventurine Xavier Baku the Cree, aren’t you?

[Baku Cree]: … Get behind me, princess……… Yes, that’s me… Uhh, if you don’t mind me asking, sir… What are you?

[???]: I am Bartholomew… I am an angelic servant of his Holiness, Lord Uranus…

[Baku Cree]: ... An... angel!? Um… Alright? Uhh… Can I help you with something? Who is Uranus?

[Bartholomew]: His divine Holiness, Lord Uranus is the angel who will take this cruel and terrible planet and bring upon it happiness and perfection… By gifting it the Divine Grand Kingdom and releasing this world from the darkness that terrors it all over…

[Baku Cree]: That… Sounds nice… But, why are you here?

[Bartholomew]: His Holiness tasked me with one simple objective… To eliminate the World Guardian…

[Baku Cree]: WHAT!?

[Everybody]: !!!???

[Bartholomew]: That’s why I appear before you, so that you may die, and the living planet can truly become perfect…

[Baku Cree]: What the heck are you talking about!? I was gonna make that happen anyways! I’m the freakin’ World Guardian!

[Bartholomew]: Your interference on the planet below will only prolong the suffering of all of the innocent souls…

[Baku Cree]: That doesn’t make any sense!

[Bartholomew]: I need not to explain myself to you... A mortal wouldn’t be able to grasp the complexity of my lord’s holy plan... My mission is only to prevent you from arriving on the planet below...

*The Soul Energy coming from the angel increases massively causing the entire High University to shake. The immense pressure shatters the glass windows of the gymnasium as well as the fruit juice bowls, making messes everywhere and ruining the school's decorations. Tables and chairs rumbled and tipped over. The metal bleachers clattered against itself rapidly before collapsing, bending into sharp edges and the light bulbs that once illuminated the area burst.

[Baku Cree]: !!! *Struggling* This… power!!!

[Princess Savannah]: *Ugh* !!!

[Barrtio]: What the hell is going on!?

[Finn]: Baku!!!

[Halenday Medellon]: *Struggling* Everyone, be careful!

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Reaches for her sword* *Thinking to herself* Damn it, of all the instances I don’t have my katana, a fucking angel appears and wishes to fight!?

[Bartholomew]: PREPARE TO DIE, WORLD GUARDIAN!!!

[Baku Cree]: EVERYONE, GET OUT OF HERE, RIGHT NOW!!!

[Bartholomew]: BE CONSUMED BY THE LIGHT!!! SHINING BLASTER!!!

*The angel launches a massive blast of radiant light at Baku.

[Baku Cree]: *Shouting* CRYSTAL… GAUNTLETS!!!

*Baku successfully catches the ball of light. It felt like flames against the protection of his golden arms. The young boy with all that his human might can muster, braces his core, lifting the orb of energy above his head. He reels back without losing his balance and launches it hurdling back at the angel with great force.

*BOOM!!!

*The angel is sent flying through the High University’s walls, leaving massive holes in its wake headed outside to the gym track. Baku charges into battle after him.

[Princess Savannah]: Baku!?

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: Princess, we have to leave…

[Halenday Medellon]: Yes, it’s far too dangerous here… We have to take you to safety…

[Princess Savannah]: But… Baku…

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: He’s the World Guardian. Whatever he’s doing, he can handle it… We have to trust him…

[Princess Savannah]: … Very well then… Be careful, Baku… *Thinking to herself* Damn it… I was so close to having him...

(Setting: Crystal Kingdom: High University- Track and Field)

(Scene: Baku engages the angel outside on the track)

[Bartholomew]: *Ugh* … He returned my attack on me… That was impressive… And unexpected...

*Baku appears.

[Baku Cree]: I DON’T KNOW WHERE YOU CAME FROM, BUT I’M GONNA SEND YOU RIGHT BACK FOR RUINING MY PERFECT HOMECOMING!!!

[Bartholomew]: I’m going to destroy you, Baku…

[Baku Cree]: I’D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY!!! CRYSTAL… BOOTS!!!

*Baku charges straight for the angel awaiting him on the football field preparing an attack. He leaps high into the air…

[Baku Cree]: NOW HERE’S MY… BIG FOOT!!!

[Bartholomew]: HOLY SHIELD!!!

*The angel generates an illuminescent barrier of golden light protecting him from Baku’s attack.

[Baku Cree]: !!!???

[Bartholomew]: NOW BURST!!! LIGHT EXPLOSION!!!

*The shield explodes with great ferocity and power, launching Baku clear across the field, over the High University and through the skies overhead the Main City of the Crystal Kingdom.

[Baku Cree]: *Screaming* AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!

*The angel, with his wings spread wide soars to Baku, catching up to him in midair.

[Bartholomew]: It’s time to finish you…

[Baku Cree]: !!!

[Bartholomew]: HOLY CRASH!!!

*Bartholomew's fist begins to glow brightly, landing a powerful strike on Baku. The aerial attack meteoring the teen boy to the ground, where he crash lands on the streets of the Main City, in the middle of a residential area. The group of students trying to evacuate the High University horrified by his condition.

[Everybody]: *Gasp* !!!

[Millia Grendar]: *Screaming* OH MY GODDESS!!! BAKU!!!

[Baku Cree]: STAY BACK!!!

*CRASH!!!

*The angel falls from the sky with a heavy impact top of Baku with crushing force and lifts him off the ground by his neck. The young boy is being choked so viciously, that he is slowly turning purple in the face.

[Baku Cree]: *Choking* *Struggling* !!!...!!!...!!!

[Barrtio and Finn]: *Freaking out* HOLY CRAP!!! BAKU, YOU GOTTA DO SOMETHING!!!

[Baku Cree]: *Choking* *Struggling* !!!...!!!...!!!

[Bartholomew]: I’m going to finish you now… Goodbye, Baku… The World Guardian that sadly, never was… *Creates a sword out of light. Perhaps this was for the best… If only you knew the truth of your sad destiny...

[Baku Cree]: *Choking* *Struggling*

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: *Freaking out* WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING, BAKU!? FIGHT BACK!!!

[Baku Cree]: *Choking* *Struggling* !!! *Thinking to himself* He’s… Too powerful… Am I... going to die here after everything I’ve trained for!?

*Suddenly, Baku’s Aventurine crystal begins to glow brightly and chime loudly.

*Chime! Chime!! Chime!!!

*Meanwhile, in her bedroom back at the Royal Palace. Nicolatrice sits alone with Baku’s doll as she prepares tea as well as other treats, an open window lets in a relaxing breeze.

[Nicolatrice]: Hm? Aw, what happened to your button eye, Curemi? That stitch wasn’t there before… And your ear too? It’s been resewn but it came out shorter than the other… *Sigh* Baku’s never been good with toys…

*Ch-chime! Ch-chime!! CH-CHIME!!!

*Suddenly, the doll begins to glow.

[Nicolatrice]: *Shocked* What in the!?

*The doll begins to slowly rise into the air in front of Nicolatrice and shine very brightly a rainbow of colors. Next, it begins to change shape. It’s long bunny like ears grow in length and the rings around them also become wider and rounder.

*Her button eyes get sucked into her face and eyelids with long lashes open, becoming real. The dress becomes even more frilly and doll-like as it also changes in size on order to fit its new body. The feathers sewn in on the dolls back also become fully fledged wings. Finally, a tiny gray crystal appears on her forehead.

*Nicolatrice has never experienced before what is happening right in front of her. She is frozen by the transformation of the doll that was gifted to Baku, and is still at a lost for words.

*The doll’s metamorphosis is complete. It now resembles a bunny with long droopy ears and angel wings, ribbon-like streaks of black and gray color its face and tiny body. At last, it speaks… The voice of a young, female child is heard.

[Curemi]: *Frantically* Wh-where’s P-papa!!??

[Nicolatrice]: *Frozen in silence* …….

[Curemi]: You h-have to tell me! Papa’s in d-danger!!!

[Nicolatrice]: *Shocked* B-Baku!?

[Curemi]: I have to go! I have to save my papa!

[Nicolatrice]: WAIT!!!

*The doll flies out of the open window of Nicolatrice’s bedroom, leaving her behind, headed to the Main City.

[Nicolatrice]: *Scared* ...B-Baku...

*Back in the middle of the Main City, Baku struggles to free himself from the angel's grip. His last breath becoming closer to being drawn, the teen thrashes his arms and legs in an attempt to escape his enemies' clutches.

[Bartholomew]: It’s finished…

[Curemi]: *Shouting* LEAVE MY PAPA ALONE!

[Bartholomew]: *Surprised* What the!?

*Curemi appears soaring past everyone, the crystal on her forehead begins to glow intensely. This distracts the angel enough for Baku to react.

*CLANG!!!

[Bartholomew]: AAUUGGHH!!!

*Using his Crystal Sword, Baku intensely focuses his Soul Energy by slashing the angels arm using the crystallic tip of his weapon. The armored limb was sliced off completely, disintegrating in a flurry of light, thus having the young hero breaking free from the angel's grasp. Everybody in the area is put in awe at the insane events unfolding before them.

[Baku Cree]: *Gasping for breath* *panting* … I *panting* … Almost died...

[Curemi]: *Shouting* Papa!!!

[Baku Cree]: !?

*Baku catches Curemi who is crying into his arms. The World Guardian is completely confused by what he is seeing front him.

[Everybody]: ………..

[Bartholomew]: How are you still standing…!? What is that thing!?

[Baku Cree]: *Thinking to himself* What the hell… is this? Wait a minute… This can’t be… Can it?

[Curemi]: *Crying* *Snifff* A-Are you o-okay, Papa!!??

[Baku Cree]: *Shocked* There’s no way… Curemi!?

*The angel winged creature continues to cry into Baku’s arms, being held like a baby

[Bartholomew]: I’m getting tired of this foolishness… It’s time for you to submit to your fate!!!

[Baku Cree]: I wouldn’t be so much of a World Guardian if I just gave up and died… Now, would I?

[Bartholomew]: Hm… So, it seems you actually learned how to control your Soul Energy…

[Baku Cree]: I’ve had some help… From a group of some truly awesome teachers…

[Bartholomew]: Be that as it may… It will not change the fact that you will die today…

[Baku Cree]: Sorry, but my destiny says otherwise…

[Bartholomew]: Otherwise?

[Baku Cree]: That’s right… The Holy Goddess chose me to save the planet after 15 years of endless pain and suffering… I got a lot of people rooting for me and relying on me that I succeed… And I promised that I would protect them… So I will, no matter what…

[Bartholomew]: You will put your own pitiful life at risk over the lives of these worthless sinners?

[Baku Cree]: That’s right… Because everybody needs someone that can grant them safety in times of need and struggle… And that’s gonna be me!

[Bartholomew]: You are a fool… Whatever action you take won’t nearly equate to the excellence and perfection we will witness when Lord Uranus blesses this world with his mercy…

[Baku Cree]: Well then… Tell Lord Anus… That if he wants to create a perfect world, then he shouldn’t send a foot soldier to stop me from doing it! BECAUSE THAT’S JUST WHAT I’M GONNA DO!!!

[Bartholomew]: YOU CREATE A PERFECT WORLD!? DON’T MAKE ME LAUGH, YOU FOOLISH MORTAL!!! HOW DARE YOU TRY TO COMPARE YOURSELF TO HIS HOLY GREATNESS!!!

[Baku Cree]: I’M NOT COMPARING MYSELF TO ANYBODY! BECAUSE I’M BETTER!!!

[Bartholomew]: YOU FIEND! I’LL DESTROY YOU WHERE YOU STAND!!!

*The angels Soul Energy increases dramatically again. The area around him begins to shake.

[Bartholomew]: YOU DON’T BELONG IN THE PERFECT WORLD! GO TO HEAVEN INSTEAD!!!

[Baku Cree]: Curemi… You have to leave… now…

[Curemi]: But Papa!

[Baku Cree]: Go now, before things get too dangerous!

[Curemi]: But I can help you, Papa!

[Bartholomew]: PREPARE TO DIE!!!

[Baku Cree]: *Ugh* Damn it! IT’S TIME TO TRANSFORM!!!

*Baku takes his Aventurine Crystal attached to his necklace and equips it to the crevice at the end of his sword. His Soul Energy increases massively as the weapon begins to glow a bright green color and a flurry crystallic shards surround him.

[Halenday Medellon]: *Amazed* What is this now? A new ability!?

[Ayurielli Yamabushi]: This must be his ultimate power... There's no doubt about it... *Thinking to herself* At last... Show it all to me, World Guardian... You absolutely have to! I need to know what you are truly capable of!

[Barrtio]: Stay back, milady!

[Mitsune Akamiko]: … O-okay, Barrtio…

[Finn]: Get behind me, Millia!

[Millia Grendar]: Finn! *Thinking to herself* What the hell's going on here!? Is this real life!? And that creature beside Baku… it can’t be...

[Princess Savannah]: Baku, my love, my sweet darling little brother... Eliminate this disgusting abomination, who ruined our special night... Make it suffer for offending me and my friends...

[Baku Cree]: ... *Smirks*... Alright, princess... LET’S DANCE!!!

[Bartholomew]: HEAVENLY THRUST!!!

*Bartholomew throws a shining javelin at Baku.

[Baku Cree]: CRYSTAL… SPEAR!!!

*Baku’s Crystal Sword transforms into a long golden spear with a crystallized tip and uses it against the light javelin entering a fierce struggle of Soul Energy. The environment around the fighters begins to rupture evermore violently.

*The buildings shake causing their windows and the street lights to shatter much like the glass in the High University under the intense pressure. The destroyed concrete of the sidewalks and pathways begin to levitate in response. Everybody tries to protect themselves from the power released.

[Everybody]: !!!!!!

[Bartholomew]: *Ugh* !!! He’s powerful!!!

[Baku Cree]: GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!!

[Bartholomew]: *Ugh* !!!!!!! *Screaming* UUUAAAGGGHHH!!!

*Bartholomew is launched flying through the city headed to the Crystal Fields at high speeds.
