Ieyasu and Mitsunari mobilize forces against each other, thrusting the nation into war again. To support Mitsunari, Yukimura must now employ Nobuyuki's tactics against him.

Mia and Sage travel to Mount Dojo to find Kento, unknowingly followed by Cale.

Talpa sends Dais to destroy the Ronin Warriors before they can locate and rescue Rowen. As they drive back to the city, Mia explains the poem to Sage and Kento, explaining that the last verse that will lead them to Rowen is "floating amongst the eyes of the ages, unmoored in the stream of the sky," but she has no idea what this means.

Now that they know where Rowen is, the Warriors try to figure out how to get to him.

Ryo is alive inside the Dark Matrix, but his armor is absorbing the energy from it and slowly crushing him. Talpa appears to the others and taunts them about the fact that Ryo and Rowen will soon be dead and sends his soldiers to face them.

The group moves through the city, making their way to Talpa's castle and come across an abandoned store selling skateboards and realize it is where they all met for the first time

Searching through the subway for the others, Kento and Rowen reunite.

As Anubis showed weakness when he battled Ryo and Rowen last, Talpa has the Nether Spirits fortify the evil in his heart. Anubis protests at first, but after the spirits powers take effect, he breaks free of his binds and is sent by Talpa to enact the next phase of his plan.

The Ronin Warriors, Ully and Mia meet with the Ancient One in a park. The Ancient One commends the Ronin Warriors for all of the good they have done so far and Mia for helping to bring the Warriors together.

Ryo falls to a ledge and is nearly killed by Sekhmet but is saved by Cye. Ryo climbs to the top of the castle and faces Talpa again

At the gates to the Nether World, a new threat, Saranbo appears, announcing his intention to destroy the world and steal the Ronin armors for himself to become invincible.

Lord Saber Stryke appears with his tiger Black Blaze, glad that his old enemy has been defeated by Ryo with the Inferno armor and he decides to go after Ryo to get the armor.

Lord Saber Stryke locates the still-alive Talpa and does battle with him, but proves unable to defeat him and is knocked into a chasm which Black Blaze jumps after him into

Wanting to redeem himself for his past failures, Sekhmet approaches Talpa with a plan to defeat the Warriors and get their armor.

The Ancient One's spirit tells Sage to rely on mind, skill and spirit and not just the strength of his armor to overcome evil

Having already captured Cye and Sage, Talpa decides to send Dais to capture another Ronin and Dais picks Kento.

As the Ancient One stands at a temple, Lady Kayura arrives to confront him. The Ancient One proves to be skilled and dodges or counters all of her attacks to Lady Kayura's surprise

Mia and Ully look across the city which has been badly damaged by Lady Kayura's attack and worry about the Ronin Warriors.

Ryo, Rowen, Mia, Ully, White Blaze and Anubis are confronted by Lady Kayura and a bunch of Dynasty soldiers

The reunited Ronin Warriors face down Lady Kayura and demand she leave them alone and let them face Talpa but she tells them they must face her first to face Talpa.

The Ronin Warriors, having found a somewhat safe place, rest and practice for the upcoming fight with Talpa while Anubis meditates.

The possessed Lady Kayura tries to convince Anubis to surrender while Anubis tries to convince the Dark Warlords that they are just being used which Lady Kayura proves by trapping them in spheres of energy.

Lady Kayura battles Talpa and his soldiers and is joined by the Dark Warlords who are now on the side of good. Ryo, Kento and Cye reunite and head off to find Talpa while Mia, Ully, White Blaze, Rowen and Sage meet up as well.
