Plot
Ren and Shinji commence their fight with Shinji fighting at the same level as Ren. Following the Death of Tojo, Destwilder who is no longer contracted goes out of control. Shinji pulls his Final Vent Card out but hesitates and can't manage to activate it. He remembers all of the Past Riders who have died at the hands of the Rider War. He gives up and drops the card, unable to do it.

He gets angry at himself for not being able to follow through. They both revert back to Original form and begin to fade. At that exact moment, A group of Monsters appear and start to chase them. Ren tries to get Shinji to leave with him but he uncaringly refuses. Ren has to force him to run away, pushing him away from the monsters. They hide behind a pole and watch the monsters fall down and curl up into balls. They take their chance to escape.

Back in the real world. Shinji continues to get angry at himself for hesitating. Menawhile, the Monsters have covered themselves in Cobwebs. Ren tells Shinji that they should go home. After a slight hesitation, they both move off and go home.

Shinji & Ren return home and Shinji tries to be as enthusiastic as he can possibly be. He learns from The Chief Editor that he will be staying at the Cafe until he can get enough Money. He also tells them that Reiko is still on her investigation and Shimada & Megumi haven't bothered contacting him yet.

Yui senses that something is wrong with Shinji and asks Ren about him, but Ren denies it.

Kitaoka waits outside the hospital where he picks up Goro who had suffered a Head Injury in the Car Explosion. Kitaoka asks if Goro trapped the Car, and he denies it. However, Kitaoka still thanks him for saving him.

Back at the Cafe, Yui asks Shinji (Who is still acting in High Spirits) what is wrong. He denies it and says that he simply didn't think as much. Yui blames herself for Shinji acting the way he is. Ren tells Shinji later not to overdo it as Yui is becoming worried. Shinji replies by telling Ren that he simply won't think about complicated Issues so that he can focus all of his effort on fighting. He tells Ren to prepare himself as well.

In the City somewhere, Destwilder jumps out and pulls a couple into a Mirror.

The Next morning, Kitaoka, Goro, Shimada & Megumi are about to celebrate Goro's Return when someone rings their doorbell. Kitaoka goes outside to see Shinji sitting on his car. Shinji offers to fight Kitaoka... To the initial disbelief of Kitaoka. Shinji tells him about his change of heart. Kitaoka eventually refuses him telling him that he doesn't feel like fighting at the moment and that whatever happened to Shinji, he doesn't like it.

At the Airport, Reiko returns from her investigation and calls the Chief to tell him that she has learn't something about Shiro. She is interrupted by The Chief who welcomes patrons into the Cafe. Up in the Living Area, Yui tries to ask her Grandmother about the Kanzaki House. She tells her that their were reasons before that she couldn't tell Yui anything and that she didn't have very good memories of it. She tells her that Shiro and her spent approximately half their lives shut away in the house.

She tells Yui that initially she took Shiro & Yui in but after Relatives from America took Shiro, she lost contact with him. Ren & Yui go to the Kanzaki Household. Yui shows him a few pictures that she drew. She realises another picture on the bench that she and Shiro drew when they were young to symbolize them being together. Ren sees a photo hiding away and compares it with the picture of the boat. They see that it is an exact match. Ren questions why it was a family trip, yet the photo and the picture fail to show her family in it. She tells Ren that she only vaguely remembers her parents but she still knows Shiro very well.

Ren gets a call from Kitaoka who gives him some information to pay him back for the help Ren gave earlier. He tells Ren that Shinji might be a bit dangerous. Ren & Yui both find Shinji in a tunnel looking for Asakura so that he can fight with him. They hold him back and Shinji gets frustrated at the fact that when he wanted to stop the War, they kept going but when he finally wants to fight, no-one else feels like it. They both sense a Monster that turns out to be a rampant Destwilder attacking a Forklift-Worker. They save the man, transform and Enter Mirror World. They work as a team and easily knock Destwilder off it's feet.

Back at the Cafe, Reiko meets with the Chief and gives him an assortment of papers about Shiro Kanzaki, including his Death Certificate. Yui's Grandmother overhears, takes the papers away from them and tells them to get out, saying that it would only cause more problems for Yui.

Ren, now in Survival, attacks Destwilder with his Sword and then gets out of the way as Shinji uses his Final Vent to ultimately destroy him. Ren & Shinji look at eachother and begin to fight again. Yui gets to the Forklift and tries to stop Shinji but it obviously doesn't work. Both Shinji and Ren, following Shots are knocked out of Survival Form. Shinji summons his sword and prepares to kill Ren. However, once again, he is unable to do it and drops his sword. Back at Kitaoka's, Kitaoka drops a saucer and cup. Megumi asks him if he is sleeping but he doesn't respond. He dies and Goro tries to wake him up but is unsuccessful.

Asakura is shown to have survived the explosion and flames of the car and walks off. Shinji gets frustrated again at the fact that he keeps hesitating when trying to destroy someone. Yui sees him and blames herself.

At the Kanzaki Household, Shiro declares a Time Limit has been Reached.

Back in Mirror World, the Monsters who were curled up in balls crack as though they are shells, releasing a Blue Bug-like Monster.
