Plot
Yui goes to the Kanzaki Household demanding that Shiro close Mirror World and to not hurt anyone else. He doesn't respond. She begins to fade again.

Back at the Cafe, the calendar shows 3 days until Yui's Birthday. Shinji is busy reading Hideyuki's Papers on Mirror World. Ren comes in and tells Shinji that he can't understand it to which Shinji replies that he can't just sit around and do nothing. Ren tells him that he can fight. Shinji tells him that he is fighting, but he just can't kill a Rider. Shinji accuses Ren of not fighting for real. Ren manages to dodge the Question. Downstairs, Yui's Grandmother remembers telling Reiko & The Chief to get out.

Yui comes downstairs and asks her grandmother what is wrong. He grandmother denies having anything wrong and turns the direction of the conversation to Yui's Birthday Present. Yui senses something in the mirrors but doesn't react in any way. Ren and Shinji also see Shiro in one of the mirrors telling them to quickly settle the Rider Battle. Ren and Shinji both leave the Cafe and head to a church where Asakura joins them. Shiro tells them all that if the battle is not settles within the next three days, that no-ones wishes will be granted. To the surprise of everyone, Shiro mentions that excluding Odin that there are only 3 riders left. They all question about Kitaoka to which Shiro says that if he isn't present, then he is out of the battle. He tells them to begin the battle. After some small chat, they all pull out their decks before being interrupted by Shiro. She tells him to stop it to which he tells her to go home.

She tells him that if he won't end it, that she will. She runs out, followed by Ren & Shinji. Asakura goes to find Kitaoka, saying that he won't let him drop out of the battle that easily. Yui runs to the top of a building and threatens to walk off the edge. Ren, Shinji & Shiro all try to convince her to get down. Shiro tells Yui that she doesn't understand how painful dying is. She refutes it, saying that she knows and that she is scared but Ren, Shinji and many others are being Sacrificed for her. She goes onto say that if that is how Shiro plans to save her, she she doesn't want to be saved.

Shiro gives in initially to distract Yui and then summons a Mirror Monster out from the building opposite who grabs Yui and jumps off of the edge. Ren & Shinji initially panic but are then told by Shiro that he will take care of Yui until the battle is over. Ren calms down, saying that It is better if Yui isn't in danger and that this is for the best.

At the Hospital, It is revealed that Kitaoka infact didn't die. Shimada remembers back to when she saw Kitaoka at the Hospital and she begins to speculate.

The Chief Editor & Reiko move back into ORE Journal. The Chief has used the Interest earned from his bank account to pay off every debt that ORE Journal has. He also tells Reiko that he can't understand anything written about Shiro Kanzaki but Reiko points out that the Monsters in the Glass are infact called Mirror Monsters and that they attack humans. However, they aren't quite sure about what Kamen Riders are. Reiko also points out that Shinji has been staying with the Kanzaki's for a long time. She speculates that maybe he also knows something about Shiro.

Shinji tells Ren that they should get Yui back. Ren disagrees and argues that once they free her, she will just jump to her death anyway. Shinji decides to go help Yui regardless. Ren tells him that Shinji takes on everything which is the reason for his indecisiveness.

Yui tries to escape from a Room in the Kanzaki Household with Shiro telling her to stay there. She gives up and sits down. She remembers a Young Shiro telling her not to leave him by himself. Asakura goes to an empty Kitaoka's and flies into a rage, startling a number of blue-bug monsters in the Mirror.

At the hospital, Ren visits Kitaoka to find him still alive. He tells him that Shiro has been saying that he has dropped out. Kitaoka asks about Shinji, to which Ren tells him that he is back to normal. They both admit that he is better then the both of them. He questions whether Shinji becoming a Rider was a good or a bad thing. Ren leaves and Kitaoka laughs at the fact that they say he dropped out.

Asakura is in Mirror World destroying the Blue-Bugs but isn't satisfied, demanding more fights. Shinji comes to the Kanzaki Household searching for Yui. He sees Golden Feathers floating from the Ceiling and Shiro tells him not to interfere with Yui. Kamen Rider Odin appears in a Mirror and pushes Shinji back. Reiko comes to the Kanzaki Household and see's Shinji talking to one of the mirrors outside. She also witnesses him transform into Ryuki and enter Mirror World. He attempts to fight Odin but quickly resorts to Survival. Odin summons his Sword and they begin to fight again with Odin easily taking advantage.

Yui remembers back to her childhood. She remembers her and Shiro Drawing Pictures. Specifically, she remembers drawing Dragreder, Darkwing, Magnugiga and multiple other Contract Monsters. Shiro tells her that the Monsters are strong and will save them. He tells he that they are the only ones in Mirror World and that it will all be fun. She remembers back to Shiro coming to a young her, lying on the floor.

Shinji activates a Shoot Vent but Odin quickly deflects it. Shinji then activates a Strange Vent Card which turns into a Steal Vent Card. With this, he is able to steal Odin's Weapon. However, Odin quickly uses a Steal Vent of his own to take it back. Ren joins in but tells Shinji that he is only there to fight. Reiko realises that what she saw Shinji turn into is a Kamen Rider.

Shinji & Ren both ride their Contract Monsters (In Motorcycle Form) towards Odin.
