Returning from the market, Aya finds an extremely elderly man sitting at the table, eating her half-cooked meat, and listening to traditional Korean music on a tape deck. Surprised by her coming home, the man knock over the table and assumes a fighting stance. While Aya calmly tries to talk to the intruder, he yells racist and sexist remarks at her. Eventually, Aya slowly approaches and tries to surprise the man with her fire breathing. He neutralizes the attack with a green fireball and the two engage in battle.
A long battle and much destruction to the apartment, Aya seems to knock the man out with her fire breathing. However, as she closes in on the prone body, the man attempts to surprise attack her with a grapple. However, Ayesha Wendimu and Zanitha Sao jump out of nearby windows and knock out the man. Aya steps on the man’s neck with the heel of her boots to kill him and he seems to disintegrate into black ash. His clothes are left behind, along with note showing that many of the attacks against Aya and her friends where masterminded by a Yama-Jin named Sulumon.
Aya meets with her master Toyouke and learns that Sulumon is his rival. She is then tasked with defeating him and makes plans to get close enough to attack by seducing him.



Walking away from the bar, a limo pulls up next to Gunther and world famous Thai fighter Sinit Kra steps out. He offers Gunther a fight against the “World’s Greatest” fighter. Gunther is skeptical of Kra’s talent and demands proof of his ability. Kra shows off numerous newspapers proclaiming him the greatest fighter ever but Gunther guesses that it is simply a media conspiracy. Enraged, Kra attacks suddenly with a flying knee.
During the fight, Gunter destroys Kra’s limo with a fireball and quickly defeats Kra. High on his victory, he yell to nobody in particular that he is now the greatest fighter ever.

As the sun expands to cover the entire sky and the wreaked limo explode, Gunther feels the temperature rises as a golden angel-like being descends from the sky. The being tells Gunther that he is not the world’ greatest fighter and that Sinit is simply a media figure. While feeling good for having his media conspiracy theory validated, Gunther is concerned when the being tells him that he can only become the world’s greatest fighter by defeating his creator, Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Angry, Gunter throws Sinit toward the burning limo but the angelic being catches him and flies into the sky. After he leaves, the environment returns to normal. The only thing left being is a business card for Interpol agent Rachel Holmes. After a bit of internet research, Gunther catches a plane to Scotland and sets out to track down the agent.





Rematch
Back on the plane in Kenya, Aeternus, Gunther, and Neil are talking about Aeternus’ and Neil’s battle. Gunther asks why Aeternus didn’t just rush Neil until he got disoriented and then attack with his strongest moves. Shocked at how simple and effective the strategy would be, Aeternus stands up and yells “That’s a good idea! Rush sneak attack!” as he bum rushes Neil. In response, the Kadru yells “Come at meh, brah!”
Utilizing the strategy, Aeternus quickly defeats Neil and knocks him into a portal to the yokai farm in Turkey. There, Aeternus struggle with a desire to kill the Kadru and his shinma eggs him on. The shinma tell him that the Kadru is just like any other monster, that he can’t be tamed like the yokai, and that he must kill him. What finally convinces the Tennin is a reminder that monsters killed his family and it is now his job to kill monster. Solemnly, Aeternus puts Neil in a barn and calls forth a portal in the sky to rain down purple fires. He plans to kill the Kadru and all the yokai on the farm.

Just as the purple fire is about the reach the barn, it seems to slow and stop. Then it reverses, looking as if someone pressed the rewind button on reality, and return to the portal, which also closes. The clouds part and the sky starts to look different. The hues of purple and blue that can been seen in the night sky when one is away from the city seem to drain from the night and coalesce into a point in front of Aeternus. Quickly the anomaly begins to look like a small black hole which bursts outward in a flash of indigo light to reveal a six-arm blue woman.
Standing in front of Aeternus with a stern gaze, the woman warns the Tennin that he is headed down a dark path, that he must temper his killer instincts, and embrace the role of a hero as he will be need to save the world in the future. Aeternus, fearful but skeptical, asks why such a mighty and threatening being wants him to be good. She responds that she only cares about human survival and potential, which requires the continued existence of the Earthrealm. Still skeptical, Aeternus turns to his shinma only to find it missing, along with the Kadru and yokai. Impressed, Aeternus continues to hear the strange woman out. The goddess, who introduces herself as Tara, says that if he embraces the path of the hero, then she will arrange for a fight with the demon that killed his family. With that prize, Aeternus heartily accepts.
In a flash, the world returns to normal. The only trace of the encounter is a single over-sized indigo lotus petal with the words “She will come to you” written in gold ink. Sensing a change in his master, a nearby yokai comes up to Aeternus and rubs against him like a cat.
