Confront
A recap of what happened in the last episode where Haseo defeated hunders of PKers.He is shown at the Chaos Gate in town,looks around and then leaves.The other players who just say him spotted him,one asks another,isnt that the player who killed a hundred PKers? Another says,you mean the Terror of Death,Haseo? And how he looks scary from a far.Another comments with a quote "those who do not anger the gods will not be cursed".In a night field,Bordaux's gang has just killed off a player,in the distance Haseo spots them and jumps down.

Back in the monitoring room,Pai informs Yata about Ovan,he has made his move.On the monitor,it shows Ovan at the cathedral,looking at the alter with Tri-Edge's mark there.Kuhn asks who he is.Pai tells him he is a person he needs to look out for.In town,Touta is with Phyllo,Phyllo asks how long he is going to hang around here.Touta says until Phyllo tells him his know-how.Phyllo doesnt trade information,Touta was only kidding.Touta says he just likes this place,Phyllo finds that troublesome.Touta wonders why Haseo left this place,Phyllo believes he has his reason,Touta mentions the title Haseo was given,"The Terror of Death",he cant turn back now.But Phyllo believes he can,as many times as he wishes.If he felt like it,he can start over anytime he wants,not just in game but in reality too.Touta comments,that is "if he feels like it",he wonders if Haseo will ever feel like it.

Elsewhere,Tabby is at a night field,mumbling Shino being an unreturner and then she thinks about the last time she talked with Hideo and Seisaku,in which they abandoned her.Again she repeats,because of Shino being a unreturner,that is why Haseo has turned that way.From out of nowhere,Saburo comes flying in from above and lands a couple of feet infront of Tabby,surprising her of course.Sabu says,long time no see to her,she thought Tabby would be at that place everyone else is at,and thats why she came.Tabby understands,Sabu is noticing this isnt like her.Sabu comments about a dog that always barks at her on the way to school,it drives her crazy.But when the dog suddenly disappeared and everything got quiet again,Sabu felt kinda lonely and thats how its like.Tabby asks if Sabu thinks she is the dog,Sabu says she is a cat here.Tabby asks what she is talking about,Sabu has heard a lot of rumors on her way here,in which they all sounded overly exaggerating.Tabby says they are all probably true,Sabu suggests she shouldnt sulk over it.Tabby says she isnt,she brings up that Haseo is kind,she knows that,but just doesnt know what to do.Sabu asks about Haseo being "kind",Tabby tells her about how he goes to the cathedral a lot,this interests Sabu.Tabby believes Haseo goes there to pray,Sabu asks about just to the chruch.She says that isnt it,to Haseo,that place is special,but Tabby never went there.Sabu asks if he goes there everyday,Tabby wonders,she thinks he goes there every time he logs in.Sabu cant believe it,Tabby smiles,and says that he is kind,and is thinking about Shino.Sabu asks about Shino,Tabby apologizes that Sabu doesnt know about her,she is the cause for Haseo's current state.Sabu isnt sure what happened,and asks if strength is all Haseo wants now.Tabby believes that is wrong,he is doing everything with Shino in mind,Sabu asks about her,if she is doing anything for Shino.She doesnt give an answer,Sabu realizes Tabby hasnt.

Haseo warps from the Chaos Gate in town,he spots Phyllo with a surprised expression,he slowly turns away from him.Phyllo says for him to hold it,and asks if he is really OK with this.And if he ever thought what Shino would think of him for being called the Terror of Death,along with Tri-Edge being an opponent he can beat with strength alone,he is different,thats why Haseo doesnt have to stress himself over it.No matter how strong he becomes,Haseo cant beat Tri-Edge.Haseo interrupts Phyllo,what Shino thinks has nothing to do with this.Phyllo asks if that what he really thinks,Haseo says he will save Shino and then he will listen to his rants.Phyllo says for him to listen to him,but Haseo warps out.Elswhere,Hideo and Seisaku are in a field area,Hideo says they will do it their way,and if thats good.Hideo looks at Sei telling him that Tabby is not that kind of girl to begin with and to give up.Sei says thats not the problem,Hideo supported his idea,which was to create an guild that will help the newbies and the middle range players,but Tabby is different.She only wanted to help the Terror of Death.Hideo has made up his mind,and will do it,he doesnt want it to end halfway like this.Sei says that is true,Hideo comments even if its just him and asks if only two can do it,Sei doesnt respond.

Back in town,Tabby is noticing a crowd looking at something.One of them says that Sakaki of Tsuki no Ki,is having an argument with the Terror of Death,Haseo,they compare the two like water and oil,another asks if Tsuki no ki prohibits PKing.Tabby says she cant do it,she looks for Phyllo at his usual spot,she calls out his name.He suddently warps in,he apologizes,his dog and cat were chasing each other around and they pulled the cord out.She says to forget about that,and tells him about Haseo at the market.Phyllo asks if she met him,she says no,he is having a fight at the market.At the Chaos Gate in town,Ovan warps in and starts to walk outside.Ovan sees Haseo in the crowd,saying its almost time.Haseo spots Ovan walking away,and runs after him,one of the player asks if he is running away.Haseo runs to the spot Ovan was at,ignoring Tabby,he keeps looking for him.Haseo heads the one place Ovan would be at,the waterfall area.

Haseo goes up to Ovan,Ovan says its been a long time,and should call him the Terror of Death now.He has noticed how much stronger he has gotten,much more than before.Haseo says that he is right,just as Ovan wished.Ovan says he has lived up to his expectations.Haseo mentions how Ovan didnt show up after the Twilight Brigade disbanded and asks what he was doing this last half year,Ovan doesnt answer.Haseo says he disappeared,and asks why he disappeared,and how they waited,at the very least,Shino and him believed he would come back.He starts to remember when Shino was attacked,and says after that,Shino was...Ovan asks him,if he wants to know about Tri-edge.In town,Touta asks the merchants if he saw Ovan.Piros says there any characters like that,Iita says its been a while,Piros adds that Ovan was watching Haseo's fight the whole time.Touta asks about Haseo being there,Piros says he was,when he saw Ovan,he went right after him,Touta asks Piros where they went,he doesnt know.But others have seen Ovan in the cathedral.Touta asks when was that,Piros says just a while ago,they said he looked like he was praying.

Back to the Waterfall area,Ovan says Tri-Edge will come back today,and asks Haseo where he would be.Haseo asks the cathedral,right? Ovan says he is correct,the place where Shino was killed.Haseo is excited about it,about Tri-Edge is coming back,Finally with these hands...he will take Shino back,and asks Ovan if he is right.He says he is,no other person can do this but them.Ovan decides to go on ahead,and wants to meet at the cathedral.Haseo warps back to town,with a wicked smile on his face,snickering and then leaves.Tabby is very worried about that expression,and wonders what she can do.Haseo is walking towards the entrance of the cathedral,while Saburo is already inside.He sees Haseo enter,and wonders if he is really here to pray.He approaches the alter,staring at it,remember that time Shino and him were standing very close to each other.Haseo shows some tears in eyes and says Shino's name,Sabu looks bored but suddenly streams of blue light start to enter the room and gather above Haseo's head.It starts to take form,Haseo is confused as to what it is,its Tri-Edge.Pai is detecting it in the monitor room,she calls out to Yata,telling him something is happening at the cathedral.Haseo throws a ball of energy at him,but Tri-Edge blocks it.Haseo says for him to die and attacks him,but Tri-Edge misses,they both start to get each other.Back in town,Tabby says she should have talked to him earlier,Phyllo says she should have if she is regretting it.She wonders if he really has become the Terror of Death.Phyllo says it doesnt matter,but for Tabby to remember that she is the only one who can stop Haseo.Tabby asks about being the only one,he says its true,she asks if he can too.Phyllo doesnt understand,Tabby asks if she is wrong,he says his words can no longer reach him.She believes if he says that,then so are her words.Phyllo says her words do,thats why he is running away from her because of it.

In an instant,the mark of Tri-Edge has been shown,Haseo has been attacked.Sabu is in shock,Haseo falls to his knees and starts to yell,while polygon shapes around him,something is wrong with his character player.Yata asks Pai what is happening,she says the result of the fight between him and Tri-Edge,there is some abnormality in Haseo's data.Yata asks if he has awakened,Pai says not yet.Kuhn asks whats going on,Yata tells him he is being initalized.Pai asks if this is Data Drain,Kuhn still wants to know whats going on,Pai tells him to be quiet.Haseo's data is starting to flicker in and out,and then,he vanishes.Sabu is the only one there,he is speechless,Touta approaches him.Sabu asks if he say what just happened,Touta says he didnt,but wants to know what happened.He says Haseo's name,but instead says,about how they say that when too many things happen at once,you wouldnt know whats happening...and believes its true. Touta tells her to calm down,and asks what happened to him.Sabu looks off to the side and then answers him,Haseo was deleted,Touta is in shock.
