"Hey, Gen, can I ask you a question?" Guren asked the boy with the dark brown hair as they sat in Mr. White's shop, waiting for the other knights. They got called to Quarton for some urgent business.
"Sure, what is it?" Gen asked.
"Well, it's about Beni." Gen nodded in understanding. "You two have known each other for a while, right? Do you have any idea what she might be doing since you came to our side? We haven't seen her here or on Quarton."
"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get in touch with her. I suspect she changed her number."
"Oh, I see."
"However, I bet she's still in that warehouse she took you guys to when you got the Titan fusion. That's where her transdimensional portal is. In fact, that's where she's spent most of her time when she wasn't helping me find the Black Dragon Key or trying to work her charm on you, she hung out there. Don't ask me why. I never asked her."
"Would you care for a snack, Gen?" Mr. White asked.
"No thank you. Maybe afterwards."
"Alright."
It wasn't long before the other Knights showed up, and they tossed their cores in.
"Tenkai Power!"
"Tenkai Speed!"
"Tenkai Strength!"
"Tenkai Agility!"
"Tenkai Strategy!" Gen said, crossing his arms.
"Bravenwolf Tenkai Firestorm Engage!"
"Tributon Tenkai Iceblast Engage!"
"Valorn Tenkai Terrablast Engage!"
"Lydendor Tenkai Lightningstrike Engage!"
"Dromus Tenkai Whirlwind Engage!"
Dromus, as always, had armor similar to Bravenwolf, only black where Bravenwolf had red and purple where the red and orange knight had orange. He also had a red mark on his left wing.
As usual, right when they got there, Beag was there to greet them.
"Welcome back, Knights and Dromus!" he said. "Oh, forgive me if I have insulted you, Dromus. It's just we are still adjusting to having you fight on our side instead of Vilius's."
"It's quite alright. Some changes take longer to adjust to than others."
"That's right," Bravenwolf said. "So, anyway, Beag, what's the situation?"
"Come on, who's next?!" a familiar female voice shouted as a bunch of Corekai warriors flew towards them. Luckily, Dromus used his elemental power to catch them, and put them on the ground gently.
"Well, that answers that question," Tributon said.
As Tributon finished his sentence, Venetta appeared, smashing through rocks.
"It's Venetta!" Lydendor said. "But what's wrong with her?"
"It's like someone cast a rampage spell on her," Valorn said.
"That sounds bad," Lydendor said.
"Let's put it this way. Don't let her hit you, or you could be sent against the wall. Luckily, we've got these new Elemental powers, so she's gonna go down. Tenkai Terra-!"
"Valorn, wait!" Dromus shouted, causing the Green Knight to almost trip.
"Now what?"
"We're too close to our team's home base. One careless move, and they're gone."
"Aw, man, that's right!"
"Then we lure her out of our end zone!"
"Tributon, think you can divert her attention?" Bravenwolf asked.
"You have to ask?" Tributon asked as he shot an arrow near Venetta's head, making her turn her head.
"The Tenkai Knights and Tenkai Traitor! Just what I needed to let out my frustrations! Venetta, Tenkai Titan Mode, Activate!"
Venetta folded up, and grew bigger. Then her armor materialized. A semi-sphere formed on her back and what looked like a spider's head attached to her chest. Four things like spider legs sprouted from her back piece. Then two weapon bricks appeared, forming bigger versions of Venetta's daggers.
"Girls rule and boys drool!" she said, putting both hands on her hips. "Now, you boys are in real trouble!"
The knights ran off, Venetta following close behind.
"Why didn't you tell us she could do that?!" Tributon asked Dromus.
"Because I didn't know she could do it!" Dromus said. "She's never shown any indication that she could. I mean, why would she? She can fight all four of you while you're in Titan Mode in her regular combat mode like you're bugs on a windshield."
"He's got a point, and-Whoa!"
The knights all skidded to a stop when Venetta suddenly appeared in front of them. She then started attacking frantically, the knights totally unprepared. After a few minutes of dodging, Bravenwolf tripped on a rock, falling flat on his back. Before he could attempt to get up, he was pinned down by Venetta's web. She then proceeded to stab him. Bravenwolf braced himself for the impact, only it didn't come. He looked up, and saw her staring at him. After a few moments, she turned away, and said something to him.
"Why do you have to be so different from other boys? Why can't you just be a pervert like the rest of them?" Bravenwolf just looked at her confused. "Ah, forget it. I'm out of here!"
She then teleported out, heading back to Earth as the knights freed Bravenwolf.
The knights got back to Earth, and as they ate the snacks, they started discussing what went on in the earlier fight.
"So, why do you think Pinky didn't finish us off when she had the chance?" Ceylon asked the other four boys.
"No idea," Chooki said.
"She's never hesitated to take down anyone before," Gen said. "When she starts something, she always finishes it. For her to just abandon destroying us, something must be bothering her."
"Well, well, Mr. Emo's actually got feelings."
"Stop teasing him, Ceylon," Guren said.
"I still don't get why she ran off when she could've gotten rid of us," Toxsa said.
"It's almost like… she couldn't bring herself to do it," Guren said.
The other Knights thought about that, and wondered why she couldn't do it.
-In another part of town-
"Geez, Guren, why must you be so kind, innocent and sweet?"
Beni sighed, wondering what to do.
-Meanwhile on Quarton-
"Please, master, give me another chance!" Slyger said. "I swear I will make those knights pay for their actions!"
"No, send me!" Granox said. "I'll get those Knights, and that traitor Dromus while I'm at it!"
"Enough!" Vilius said. "Granox, you will go to Earth to find the knights and destroy them. And be sure to find Dromus too. It appears that he is from that other world as well."
"For Vilius and Victory!"
Granox went to the portal, and was transported to Earth.
-Back on Earth with Guren-
Guren was riding on his bike, thinking of a certain pink-haired girl. He couldn't get what she said out of his head.
"Why do you have to be so different from other boys?"
Guren couldn't get that out of his head. He was brought out of his thoughts when he saw a familiar tuft of pink hair. He looked toward where he first spoke with Gen, and saw the girl he was thinking about. She turned to see the boy she was thinking about.
"Beni."
"Guren."
