(Clips of the previous episode is shown with "Stardust Eyes" in the background, then it shows the current condition.)
Star Lebia/Lebia Maverick: We can't give up. We swore on the Radiant Star that we will succeed.
Ancient: How is it that Keiri has the power to stop us, yet we don't have the power to stop it?
StarDrake: Let's stop playing twenty questions and get back to what's really important, and that's stop Keiri!
Keiri: Ha ha ha ha ha! You fools don't stand a chance against me! When I destroy you, I'll use both the Radiant Star and the Soul Eater to unleash our king into the world.
What about the Crystal? You forgot about that Armament!
Ah, yes, the Crystal. I'll use all three Armaments and summon the greatest evil the world has ever seen.
Who is this evil? Is he the leader of the Black Hearts?
The time for talk is over, it's time for action! Draw your last breaths, fools, you're all going to die!
Opening Theme: Sailor War
(in the base)
Willis: They are all warriors of the Radiant Star. I can't believe that. (flashback of the three transforming before him) I was in shock. I thought now that there were three warriors, Keiri and the Black Hearts wouldn't stand a chance. I guess thought wrong.
Bastian: (walking into the room) Willis, there you are. We've been looking for you. The other three are fighting Keiri and are holding on. Why do you look so sad, Willis?
Soon, it will be over, and I won't see them all ever again.
What do you mean?
Even though we're friends, Bastian, I can't tell you that. You'll soon find out.... if that time ever comes.
(Back on the battlefield)
Keiri's too strong. But we can't pull back now. We have to fight it and destroy it!
If only we knew what our attacks were.
I know what mine are. Maybe if I combine the Soul Eater and the Radiant Star's power, I can stall it long enough for us to think of a plan. (unsheathes Star Sword) I hope this works.
(StarDrake holds up his right hand and the Soul Eater symbol flashes.)
Judgment! (he uses the attack) Star Sword Disaster! (uses the attack)
(Both of StarDrake's attacks merge tonight and hit Keiri hard. It screams in pain and its wings break off.)
Ha ha, take that!
That was cool.
(Keiri growls in anger and pain. Seconds later, a new set of wings appears on its back.)
What? Impossible!
You fools! Now you'll witness the true power of the Black Hearts! Dark Energy ELECTRIFY!
(Keiri's wings, hands, and eyes flash black. A black beam of energy shoots out of Keiri's chest and it hits the three. They fly backwards and crash against the gravel.)
Ha ha ha ha ha! Fools! Now you'll see me destroy you all one by one!
(Back in the base)
I've had a great life. Really I did. When I was young, I was already out of college. Can you believe that? And then, I meet Davis and the others. They helped me quell my digimon, Lopmon, from destroying everything. But then, everything's been happening to me. The wirusu come after me, possess me, and force me to almost kill everyone. I can't live that life anymore, Bastian. I can't.
You seem to have had a great life. I've lived a miserable one. I hardly knew my parents, cause my father died when I a few minutes old. My mother died of giving birth to me. (sighs) You think you have it bad. Try living for over 400 years. Never aging. Saying good-bye to friends. Taking their souls away when they die. It's hell for me, Willis.
We're a lot alike, Bastion. I know we are. I hope we defeat the wirusu. I hope.
(back on the battlefield)
Are you ready to surrender?
Never! I will never give into you. None of us will!
We will keep fighting until we no breath left in our lungs.
That can be arranged!
(Keiri launches a ball of purple light at them. As it hits the ground, it explodes, sending them back a few inches.)
The next one won't miss!
I don't know how we lasted this long, but I'm sure we'll defeat you, Keiri! We defeated the wirusu before and we'll defeat you!
Well I'm different from the rest of those pathetic wirusu. I actually fight! Now die!
(Keiri goes to blast them with a red beam of light from its eyes. StarDrake jumps in the way.)
Star Light Barrier!
(The barrier appears over StarDrake, Ancient, and Star Lebia. StarDrake is bearly holding on to the barrier.)
(Back in the base)
Everytime I look back at these past events, I just laugh about it. Heh. I'm doing it right now. Sometimes it's best to put the past behind you and go on in life.
Easy for you to say. I suffer everyday. I look down at this cursed rune and I remember everyone that was dear to me lost. Sometimes I wish I was never born.
Don't ever say that! Every life is precious! (Bastian looks at him) I know it's hard to believe, but even the worse of people turn out to have the best lives ever! Even if sacrifices are going to be made, we might as well live out what life we have left. I learned that from Drake. From Usagi. Everyone.
You're a nice kid, Willis. You really are. I'm impressed by your efforts. I just wish that you and I could have better lives. I wish that.
(A red aura surrounds Willis.)
No! Not now! Not now! AAAAHHHH!!!
(A shadow emerges from Willis' body. It looks at Bastian.)
Shadow: You will do!
(The shadow plunges into Bastian. Black electricity surges through his body. He screams in pain. Willis holds his head, feeling a little woosy from the shadow emerging from his body. He looks at Bastian. A look of fear forms on his face as the red aura surrounds Bastian. Bastian raises his head. His eyes are red.)
(with another voice echoing) At last. I have gotten the Soul Eater. Oh Willis, I won't need you anymore. The Radiant Star was quite delicious.
What?! You ate the Radiant Star?!
Could've used a little salt, but oh well. Who am I to judge what tastes good and what tastes bad?
(on the battlefield)
And now, I destroy you!
(A rock hits Keiri right in the face, shattering its visor. The three warriors look to see Willis.)
Willis! Get out of here! It'll kill you!
It's got him!
Who's got who?
The wirusu inside me ate the Radiant Star and it fled my body. But it took over Bastion!
All: What?!
(Keiri gets up. Its red eyes flash. Ancient turns around and pulls out his staff.)
(holding up staff) Heavenly.....RAGE!
(A fireball forms on the tip of his staff. It starts to grow in size. Seconds later, he hurls it at Keiri. The fireball hits Keiri hard and the fire starts to engulf it.)
AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!
The fire is weakening it. (looks at harp) I hope this work. (starts playing a tune on it) Radiant Star Song!
(A bright light flashes from the harp. A heavenly tune starts playing. Electricity surges throughout Keiri.)
Mal....Mal.....function.....
(unsheathes sword) Now I'll finish it off! Star Sword Disaster!
(StarDrake uses the attack. It hits Keiri hard. It screams in pain as a golden light emerges from every opening on its mechanical body. Seconds later, it explodes in a bright dome of light.)
(in the base)
Ryo: They did it. They destroyed Keiri.
Shuu: That's a good thing, right? I hope it is.
Seiji: Of course. With Keiri gone, our job here is done. We can all return to our home time now.
Shin: It was fun while it lasted, I guess.
Touma: To think we doubted them. Maybe we shouldn't judge those we just meet.
(Ryo sees Bastian and runs to him.)
Bastian, we must return to our home time now. We would like to return to the year 2002.
Certainly. And I'll go with you. I need to see my father's time as well.
(StarDrake, Ancient, Star Lebia, and Willis run into the base.)
So the virus jumped out of your body and into Bastian?
Yes. And now that we have destroyed Keiri, he's probably going to send the Ronin Warriors back to the year 2002. We need to catch up to them before we get left behind.
Okay. I knew this would come in handy. Everyone, grab each other's hands. (they do so) Star Light Speed!
(A white light shines around them. Seconds later, they start running faster, like Sonic the Hedgehog. They run into a room. The Ronin Warriors just got teleported back to the year 2002.)
Stop!
(Bastian looks at them. He grins.)
Hello....Father!
What have you done?
I didn't need Willis anymore, so I'm using Bastian. I know you won't hurt him. He's your son, Drake.
Who are you, you bastard!
That's for me to know and for you to find out! Until then, I must wreak havok in the past. Ta-ta.
(Bastian flips a lever and he vanishes in the time machine.)
There's no time to lose. We have to catch him.
(The four jump onto the time machine and Ancient flips the switch. They flash white, then vanish.)
