It has been three days since the battle. Jexi had woken up with no memory of his rampage, and Hope agreed to keep quiet about it and what happened just before as did everyone else. They pressed onwards, rescuing Nowi's daughter, Nah, from the risen. They also met back up with Tiki, who was more than happy to join their side after defending her while she performed the rite, connecting her to the power of Naga.

"Okay, so does that make three Manaketes on our side now?" Alibaba asked.

"Yes. A good number to have." Sir Robin said.

"And guess who was with her?" Hope said pointing to Chesnaught.

"Hey! I'm still technically doing my job." Chesnaught said.

"Well, you can come with us if you want. I ended the wars. Look at my uniform as proof." Hope said.

"War? There was a war?" Chesnaught asked.

"Wait, you didn't know about it?" Hope asked.

"No. Then again, I'm pretty forgetful." Chesnaught said. "Anyway, I'm just gonna get a ride home to my guild. Don't need to be here now that this woman's in your protection."

"What about Heaven's garden reinforcements? Oh wait, did you forget that part too?"

"No. I did contact them, but they can't enter the world for some reason. No one outside of this world can." Chesnaught said. "Something about a large invisible barrier."

"Lucemon. He wants to make sure no one else interferes." Alphamon said.

"This means Chesnaught cant leave. Could you stay with us?" Fluttershy asked.

"Nah. I'm gonna head back to the tree. Its pretty calm there." Chesnaught said as he walked off.

The armies besieged the castle, Lucemon and the new Demon, Majoramon, with Walhart overlooking this.

"So, enjoying your new status, demon lord of Wrath?" Lucemon asked Majora.

"It's amazing! So, you had this power all along?" Majora asked.

"Yes. I didn't think I had to use it, but with all the Royal Knights reunited, I need to make sure the plan continues. We aren't that far off from the right day." Lucemon said.

"Not so fast!" Hope said crashing through with Kiri, Feral, and all 13 royal knights.

"The lantern? But he looks… different." Majora said.

"Hmm. It seems he's gone through a change since last time." Lucemon grinned. "Well, no matter. He's still too late to stop what's in motion."

"We're taking you down for good, Majora, and now we have two more Color Fighters with us!"

"Lucemon! We must flee!" Majora said.

"Quite right. But, before we do... Rebel!" he shouted as Kiri and Feral's eyes glowed red as they turned on Hope and the knights.

"What the? What is this?" Hope asked.

"My ability: Rebellion. By focusing on any targets, I can force them to rebel against their friends without fail." Lucemon grinned.

"This is bad. I don't wanna hurt you guys." Hope said as Kiri's chuck grazed his face.

"Really? Because they really want to hurt you." Lucemon grinned as he and Majora vanished.

"Let me see if I can purge the Influence. Spectrum Change: Hope! Ultimate Color Blue Hope!" Hope said as a blue light fired at them. However, their eyes were still red.

"That won't work." Examon said. "The only way to break the connection is to defeat them."

"I need to end this in one blow. Dragon's Rage!" Hope said firing a blue flame from his hands, knocking the two of them out.

"Impressive. Now I shall come forth." Walhart said. He then drew a large sword pulsing with dark energy.

"By the power of this blade, Ragnarok, all thirteen knights shall perish." Walhart said as the blade glowed darkly. A wave of dark energy blasted at them, all of them barely dodging.

"We must purge that dark magic. We must use all of our power!" Alphamon said as the thirteen gathered around each other.

"I'll go first." Hope said. As the blade was swung, he caught it and produced a blade of his own.

"Dragon Saber! Cleave this evil blade of all its darkness!" Hope shouted as he and Walhart clashed their blades.

"Arrows of The Falling Skies!" the knights shouted as several arrows formed in the air and aimed at Walhart. As all of them launched, they each pierced a different part of Walhart's body.

"Now, finish it!" Alphamon shouted at Hope.

"Creation Rebirth!" Hope shouted slashing through Walhart.

"Nngh... Do you see? Often the sword...is the only way... My conquest...ends here…" Walhart said, collapsing on the ground with his sword broken into two pieces.

"Now that's done. Now we gotta stop Grima and Ogudomon by finding the last Gemstone." Hope said.
