Olympus 5- Daughter of Demeter, Demi- Kai is waking up in the middle of his old hideout, asking himself questions about what he is doing in life and how he the world he lived in will be once he is finished as a Joutenger. "I hope Donny and the boys are alright when I come back, we are like a family. But I made a promise to Jamarah that I would at least try to defeat those monsters." As he goes to the headquarters, he sees a woman being robbed at gunpoint but does nothing, believing that it's none of his business and that defeating the enemy requires special attention. Back at HQ, Amy, Shun and Miki talk about Kai. Amy: "He may be rough around the edges, but you need to cut Kai some slack." Kai hearing this outside and waiting to hear what Miki will say, turns invisible as he creeps in. Miki then says "I need to be hard on him to keep his ass in line, he's nothing but a good for nothing street punk." Amy is dumbfounded by Miki's low opinion of Kai and says "You know, you should really consider Kai's feelings too." "I would Amy, but he doesn't have any. Like I said, he nothing but a dumb punk." Kai immediately makes himself visible and calls Miki out on her Judgments. "You can think you have me figured out all you want, but just let me tell you something. I have you all figured out as well." "Oh yeah, care to share with the rest of us, oh so wise asshole!" "Ok. I find you to be an overobessessive, ego-driven control freak with no sense of people's feelings and emotions outside of your own. You never take anyone else into consideration you bitch. You assume because you're the leader of this operation that you can boss me and these guys around. You're wrong. I don't even know why I bother to be on this team with you. All you do is yell and tell people what to do." "AND ALL YOU DO IS BROOD AND SULK!" "WELL WHEN YOU LOSE THE ONE PERSON WHO'S MEANT EVERYTHING IN THE WORLD TO YOU YOU CAN GET JUDGMENTAL ALL YOU WANT!" Miki, taken aback by this comment, tries to put up a brave front. "Well, mr anger, why don't you get over here and do something about it!" Kai nods and starts attacking her physically. Miki starts defending herself, angered by Kai's behavior and wanting to settle this in a brawl. Miki starts out strong but Kai's ruthless fighting style ends the fight in his victory. "When you learn to keep your ego in check, I'll start considering you a member of this team." "This fight changes nothing. You're on notice. I refuse to let someone like you do what you want when the worlds in danger." "Then why jeopardize the team on your gigantic ego?" Shun finally intercedes "Ok, ok, break it up you two. You're starting to really piss me off. We have demi gods to find and you two can only think about yourselves." Miki gets defensive. "What do you mean I only think of myself? I have the entire teams well being at heart Shun. Why are you taking his side?" "I'm not taking anyones side, but I don't want the team to fall apart because of you two. Kai why don't you come with me."
This is interupted when a demi God is found in a Tokyo Mall. Amy goes with the team on the train and she sits with Shun in between Miki and Kai, Shun trying to break the ice. "Ok, anyone here have some good jokes?" Miki just shrugged as Kai ignored him. Amy raised her hand. "Umm, what did the chameleon think he had when he couldn't change his color? Areptile dysfunction, HA!" "Wow that was funny. hah." Miki and Kai still weren't looking at each other, Shun looking worried. He whispered in Amy's ear-"I think we might end up killing each other before the Titans do," Amy nodding in agreement. Shun went to talk to Kai as Amy went to Miki. "Hey man, I think we kind of got off on the wrong foot, I'm Shun." Kai still tries to ignore him. "You know, if you start talking to people more they may start being nice to you. No one likes a guy who keeps to himself all the time." Kai still tries his best to ignore him. "I have to say, your personal skills need some serious work there buddy." Kai continues ignoring him. "This is about Miki isn't it." "I have no problem with you or the cripple but I'll be damned if I take orders from that witch." "I know she's a handful, she's very driven though, that's the thing. She just wants to see the mission go off without a hitch and she doesn't like people like you naturally." "So because I left a less than acceptable life by her standards I'm nothing but an annoying pest." "Yeah. It's not like you help your image much. You hardly talk to us, you just sit there and look cool and all that." "It's not like I asked for her approval anyway. I'll do my duty, I'll fight those Titans, and when it's done I don't want to hear anything from any of you ever again. It's not that I hate you and Amy specifically, it's just, I'm not sure if I'm hero material." "Do you want to hear the real reason why Miki is so driven?" "Because she was chosen as leader and gets to boss us around?" "No, it goes much deeper than that."
Just as the two are talking Amy tries to break Miki out of her shell involving Kai. "Look Amy, I just don't want to deal with someone like him jeopardizing our mission by going out of line. I don't care if he's necessary, he's a parasite." "He's human Miki. Not everyone can be perfect like you." "Me? I'm not perfect." "But you hold everyone to rigid standards of morals that realistically, most people fail to live up to them and you detest them for it." "Why are you siding with that creep. I've been nothing but nice to you ever since we met because I thought no one else-" and Amy starts to cry, saying "Your a bigger jerk than he is, you know that Miki. You really don't take other people's feelings into consideration." Realizing what she said was that she basically treated Amy nice out of pity, apologizes, holding her saying she didn't realize she could be so insensitive to someone she legitimately wants to get to know. Amy is still kind of hurt but thanks her for her apology. "Every time you remind Kai of where he comes from, all you do is remind of a terrible life he may want to leave behind, especially since his closest friend is dead." Miki starts realizing the error of her ways and starts thinking about how unfair she really has been to Kai and his problems.
Amy and Shun then turn to each other, Shun asking if she's ok. "I'll be better, I think I finally got through her stubborn head." "I did too, though his personal skills really do need some work." "Agreed." "This team won't fall apart under our watch, ey Amy?" "Yeah." They arrive at the mall as they see the swami giving advice to some local patrons. Miki asks "Is he the demi god?" Amy replies "No sadly but it's certainly close by." The tracker goes wild as they find a girl dressed like an Indian dancer tending to some flowers, the others save for Kai entranced(blushing by the way), who says he's going to be looking outside for the inevitable monster attack. "I'm gonna go check for monster attacks, never know when these creeps may come back." He says so in a sort of awkward tone of voice. The girl notices them watching her revive dying flowers and gets defensive about it. "It was nothing. I just,,, like to look at flowers before a show. Yes. I don't have a problem, you do! Heh, sorry about that." Miki and the others, confused, ask her how she can revive plants like that. "I don't know ok, it's just, something I've always been able to do. Would you please forget you saw it?" Amy then apologizes. "We're sorry for disturbing you miss-" Miki then intervened. "Sorry miss, but you'll need to come with us." "No." "What did you say?" "First off, who the hell are you? Secondly, why should I come with you?" Shun then jokes "She kind of has a point there chief." "Shut up. We're here to recruit you for service as a Joutenger." "Why, because of my ability?" "Not exactly that, it's because of who your mother is." "My mothers dead, why does that matter?" "Because your mother is a Goddess-" Then a man yells at the girl "Come on Demi, your father needs you for this special lecture." "Ok, I'll be right there." Then she turns to Miki. "I already said no, so no." As Demi leaves, Miki says that she has no clue what's at stake as Demi tries to ignore her. Shun asks "Why don't we go see this lecture. Maybe we can understand more about her by watching what she does." Amy replies "Sounds good, what about you Miki?" "Ok, sounds good. The more we know about our teammate, the better."
The three find seats for the lecture by the Swami as Kai watches from a distance. He thinks "Man, this girl looks, no, she's just another pretty face. You've run into this kind all too often. Keep a cool head." The Swami says "In this world that we live in today, many of us often forget that in times of troubles such as these, we come together to embrace peace, and hope for a better future. We must never forget that in the world's darkest days, peace will be our happiness. As such, my daughter shall show the traditional Indian dance, the Kolattam. If you will Demi," "Yes daddy." She performs this rural dance and most of the men in the audience are in awe, including Shun and Kai all the way in the back, who can't resist blushing despite his best efforts. Demi sees Kai and immediately starts moving his way, seeing him especially blushing. "Come here." "No thanks, I'm just trying to-" "C'mon, you'll be perfect." "Um," and she takes him to join in the dance. She continues doing the dance and shows him the steps as the dance goes on and he tries stubbornly to refuse. "I don't dance!" "Why, afraid you can't do it?" "No, I'd never be afraid of doing something as stupid as dancing!" "You sure didn't think like that when you were watching me dance, now come on and let it flow." With Demi moving his arms around to the dance he actually starts getting the hang of it and goes slowly in tandem with Demi. Shun, Miki, and Amy watch him try the dance and laugh under their mouths as Kai notices this and thinks to himself "Hows a man supposed to get any respect doing this." Miki thinks to herself "He isn't quite as macho as he let us believe, this is way too good." Demi and Kai finish the dance, Demi congratulating him. "Its great how well you did just watching me. It took me years to master it. Have you considered taking dance classes?" Kai, blushing but still trying to look stoic says "It's nothing really. I don't really dance." "You can act tough all you want, but I'm sure deep down you were thrilled to dance with me, am I right?" "Whatever." The three go to see Kai and they formally introduce themselves to Demi. "I'm Amy, daughter of Athena," "I'm Mikiho, daughter of Zeus," "I'm Shun, Son of Poseidon," and Demi asks Kai "Well which one are you then?" Kai responds "Kai, Son of Hades. I'm not a nice guy." "I kind of got that impression." Amy then speaks "Ms. Demi, we think you may be the daughter of Demeter, Goddess of Agriculture and plants." "You really think that is me? Me and my father, we were just simple farmers from India when the great frost happened. For a good month, me and my father lost our crops to this horrible weather and he decided, since he was a devout man, he would spread the word of peace and happiness as a travelling Swami, and I chose to follow him since the dance I perform is the traditional one for peace and happiness in my native India. Only a few can ever master the dance, I still haven't." Shun then says "Demi, we know why your crops were dying and your homeland froze-" Miki interrupted "These bad beings called the Titans, from ancient greece, fought the Greek Gods of myth for a whole month, all the while causing chaos in the world. It caused deserts to flood, forests to grow at the poles, farmland to dry up, and tropical regions to freeze. It's affected the whole world, and as a Demi God, we feel you may be one of the only people who can help us keep the Titans from conquering the world." Demi thinks it over for a second "I'm sorry, but I can't help you. When me and my father took an oath to pacifism, I swore to never raise a sword against a fellow creature of this Earth." Miki then says "Are you crazy? If we don't act, the whole world will be doomed, how valuable are your beliefs for tha-" Kai immediately stops her. "This is why you piss me off Miki. You can't keep your own beliefs in check when taking others into consideration." Miki, noticing how enraged he got, says "You're only doing this because you like her Kai."
Kai immediately goes to punch Miki before he notices Typhon. Shun tells a confused Demi who he is. "He's one of the Titans who wants to destroy the world. He blew my mother away in a Hurricane and we still have no idea where she is." "I'm so sorry Shun. I pray that your mother is ok wherever she is but I don't want to fight." "We're not going to make you fight, don't worry. By the way, I loved your dancing. Very classy." "Um, thank you very much." Demi goes to her father who is ready to embrace her and then Typhon starts his attack. "What is this, a peace lecture. I'll show you peace!" and he uses his wind powers to attack the nearby civilians, injuring a couple and killing one with flying chairs. Demi is horrified. The three morph as Amy tries to get Demi and her father to safety as Typhon singles Demi out as a Demi God and goes to try and kill her, blowing her father and Amy away. As Miki Shun and Kai start trying to attack him he summons the Cobra monster to breath poisonous air onto the nearby plants. The Cobra keeps the rangers busy with the help of some Skeletons as Amy goes as fast as she can to try and get Demi and her father out of the way. Demi, paralyzed with fear, can't move, as her dad goes in to take a large rock attack made for her thrown by Typhon.
Typhon, thinking he's killed Demi, says "So much for that one, she was such a coward." Demi's father, while he escaped the brunt of the attack, skill got hit on the back with hot rock, paralyzing and burning him in the lower body. Demi starts crying. "No, please, don't, just don't!" Kai sees this and just ignores the foot soldiers as he wails on the Cobra monster as it tries to keep him from attacking Typhon. Typhon sees this and laughs. "What's wrong son of Hades? Finally have some feelings, something resembling an emotion? Well you can be angry all you want now, she's de-" meanwhile Demi tells everything she learned today to her father and he says "I knew this day would come" as he cringes from pain. "Your mother was a very down to Earth and kindly woman, but when she had to return to God duties and leave us, she made sure I had strong enough crops to keep us going until you could fend for yourself. Seeing how beautiful you are as you dance, it reminds me of your mother Demi." "They want me to fight against those creeps, I don't know if I should-" "You can and you will. Peace is important sweetheart but only if you can fight for the weak against those that would oppress them. Looks like my time is almost up." Demi can't help but cry as her father groans in agony, Amy approaching slowly, crestfallen.
Amy gives her her God changer and tells her "Now its time to fight." Demi stops crying, takes her morpher, and morphs, while enraged. "All I wanted to do was live a happy life with my father, spreading the feeling of peace and happiness, and do what I love in life: dancing. But then all of a sudden all it takes is a bunch of self centered, cruel, good for nothing fascists like you to ruin those ideals for everyone by making them miserable. You deserve to be punished!" She uses her plant manipulation powers to lift the rock from her father, saving his life, and then throwing it at the cobra monster, which immediately dies. "Your next, you cruel monster!" "Hmph, as if I'd lose to some woman." Miki, angered yells at Demi "Show him what a woman can do Demi!" Demi doesn't respond, she simply uses the surrounding plants to bind Typhon and she lifts a tree outside to crush him, Typhon turning into wind and retreating. "When I get my hands on him next time, I'll make him pay!" Kai demorphs, kind of frightened. "Thats someone I'd never want to cross." Even Miki is a bit scared but relieved. Shun welcomes Demi. "Welcome to the team Dem- oh." Demi chooses to stay by her father as she suddenly uses her hands to heal his wounds to keep him from dying, unknowingly. Demi says "Can someone please take him to a doctor?" A team of paramedics come to take her father away, Demi sad that she thinks her father might die. Kai approaches her "I know how you feel. My partner, my only friend in the world, died so that I can realize I am a soldier for this cause. I'm sorry it had to your father for your case." Miki is shocked but says nothing. Demi thanks Kai "Thank you, Kai. I feel sorry for you too." And she gives him a hug. Shun jokes "Man, you guys sure look cute from here, did yah rehearse it or something?" Demi immediately breaks the hug as does Kai and Kai yells at him "You better not say a thing to my boy back in the city, or I'll break you." Shun agrees, but laughs in his head. The four head out, comforting Demi. Back at the Tartarus, Tetsu has almost fully recovered from his injuries and chastises Typhon for his failure in subduing a Demi God again. "You're beginning to lose my patience Typhon." "Of all the nerve. Chronus may be my lord, but I'll be damned if I take orders from a human brat like you." "It's that anger that keeps you from winning the day you know. My turn comes next time, I'll be sure to beat them next time, now I know all their tricks." Asteria simply laughs as Typhon gets angry. Chronus joins in the laughter at Typhon.
