Holly and James stand guard over Lucas, who is sleeping, while they find themselves surrounded by a group of people wearing REVA masks. The attackers are met with strong resistance from Holly and James. Suddenly, Lucas wakes up to see several Hinode officers joining the battle to aid Holly and James. Just as a masked individual is about to attack Lucas from behind, Sasha skillfully shoots an arrow, striking the assailant. A fierce war ensues within the forest, with the Hinode officers and the Mask people engaged in a deadly clash. In the midst of the chaos, Grace cautiously approaches Rip, who stands up and confidently asserts that Jayden cannot possibly be stronger than him. Rip showcases his increased muscle size, flexing his muscles and growing taller while boasting about his superiority. Wiz warns Grace to keep her distance. Rip turns his attention toward them and charges, prompting Wiz and Mako to join Grace in the battle against Rip. They skillfully evade Rip's slow attacks and launch their own strikes, but Rip's massive muscles reduce the impact of their blows.
Wiz draws his double-bladed sword and attempts to strike Rip's fist as he attacks, but the blade becomes lodged between Rip's knuckles. Taking advantage of the moment, Mako throws Grace his phone and urges her to proceed and find Jayden. Grace agrees, following the map on the phone and making her way ahead. Rip swings his arm upward, causing Wiz to crash into several tree branches. Expressing frustration over his damaged fist, Rip is interrupted by Mako, who kicks him in the head. Rip swiftly retaliates with another swing, but Mako deftly evades the attack and throws a broken katana into Rip's eye. Rip screams in agony, and Mako lands, preparing to deliver a punch. Mako proudly announces that the move he taught Jayden will be his finishing move and strikes Rip in the groin. Rip collapses to his knees in pain. Wiz seizes the opportunity and thrusts the double blade into Rip's chest, but the size of Rip's chest muscles prevents the blade from reaching his heart. Wiz struggles to pull out the blade, while Rip laments his misfortune, his emotions overcoming him and causing him to cry.
Suddenly, Mako senses the presence of another person nearby and quickly dodges as Fright narrowly misses touching his head. Wiz intervenes by punching Fright and knocking him into Rip. Fright wipes the blood from his nose and touches Rip's head, revealing that he has successfully rid himself of all fears from his mind and body. Rip, now with white eyes, rises to his feet and acknowledges that Fright is correct. He proceeds to flex his muscles even more, growing larger and more muscular. The double-bladed sword forcefully dislodges from Rip's chest and embeds itself into a nearby tree. Rip transforms into a colossal muscular figure, roaring, the sound echoing throughout the entire forest. Sasha and the other Hinode officers unleash their weapons upon Rip, but the projectiles bounce off his immense muscles. Rip swings both arms downward, smashing the ground and causing it to break and shake, propelling everyone into the air. Sasha manages to catch Mako as they both descend into the fractured terrain. Meanwhile, Wiz is caught by the remaining Hinode officers, but the impact proves fatal for some of them. Rip continues his devastating swings, resulting in the deaths of several Hinode officers. Sasha and Mako rise, undeterred.
Wiz instructs Sasha to shoot an exploding arrow into the small hole in Rip's chest, disregarding the rules of Fiaz since they are no longer in their homelands. Sasha shoots an arrow into the designated spot, which beeps and then detonates, enveloping Rip's chest and face in smoke. Seizing the opportunity, Wiz leaps into the trees to retrieve his double-bladed sword. He notices that the hole in Rip's chest has expanded. Lucas enters the battle and calls out to Wiz. Lucas begins an incantation, uttering the word "Strength" while playing a high note on his lute. Wiz suddenly realizes that his strength has been augmented. Springing high into the air, he descends upon Rip, slashing through his chest and revealing his exposed, beating heart. Rip screams in agony, creating a sonic boom that sends everyone flying. Wiz regains his footing and removes his leather gloves. With determination, he charges forward, evading Rip's erratic attacks that cause the ground to split and trees to uproot. Wiz skillfully maneuvers through the obstacles, leaping onto a flying tree and diving into Rip's chest. There, he grasps Rip's heart with his blackened hands, squeezing it tightly. Rip's heart diminishes slightly as he roars in pain. In a desperate move, Rip seizes a colossal tree from the ground and hurls it towards Mako. However, Sasha and numerous Hinode officers leap in, shielding Mako from the impact. The tree slams into all of them.
Atop the tree, Lucas appears, a furious determination in his eyes. He plays a resounding high note on his lute and chants, "Increased Strength and Speed!" James and Holly, fueled by the newfound enhancements, join him on the tree. With remarkable swiftness, they charge forward, wielding their weapons. Holly hurls her metal staff, impaling Rip's hand and pinning it to the tree. James ascends Rip's arm and delivers a powerful blow with the bat to his face, causing his enormous teeth to scatter. Meanwhile, Wiz intensifies his grip on Rip's heart, causing it to shrink further until ethereal figures emerge from it and dissipate. Suddenly, Rip's heart implodes in a burst of dark magic, and he collapses lifeless. James and Holly utilize their remaining enhanced strength to lift the massive tree, discovering numerous fallen Hinode officers beneath it. Sasha emerges from the pile of bodies, heavily injured, and brings a unconscious Mako to Holly and James, her head bleeding profusely. Sasha collapses into Lucas's arms, and Lucas himself falls to the ground, panting heavily from the strain of his spells. Wiz emerges from Rip's chest, drenched in blood. The darkness in his hands has spread beyond his wrists, and he too is exhausted from the hard fought battle.
Holly warns Wiz to be cautious, and as he turns, Fright's hand grabs hold of his head. Overwhelmed with fear, Wiz writhes on the ground. James and Holly confront Fright, who vows that they will suffer for killing his brother. However, Wiz suddenly seizes Fright by the head and hurls him high into the air at incredible speed. Holly restrains James momentarily, noticing that Wiz's eyes have turned black—REVA has taken control of his body. Using Wiz's voice, REVA declares that while full possession of the body is not yet possible, there is enough time. REVA propels forward with lightning speed, Holly and James rush back to aid the wounded.
Jayden finds himself engulfed in the potent spiritual powers of the witch, struggling to catch his breath against the overwhelming force. Mocking his feeble resistance, the witch asserts her dominance, claiming this realm as her own. Amidst her laughter, she proclaims Jayden will be her ultimate creation. Enveloped in the witch's magic, Jayden screams in agony as he fights desperately to break free. Suddenly, the witch's laughter ceases, replaced by an expression of shock. Uttering the words "He's here," she and the surrounding realm begin to recede into darkness. The witch crumbles and disintegrates into magical dust. Jayden escapes the clutches of the witch's magic, ascending as the shrinking realm grows ever smaller. He narrowly eludes the grasp of the witch's soul, only to awaken within his protective dome of light.
Before him stands Wiz, his arm impaled into the witch's chest. Wiz retrieves her heart and shatters it within his darkened hands, causing a orb to escape his fingertips. Wiz turns toward Jayden, who commends his actions but notices the unsettling blackness in his eyes, realizing that REVA has taken control. REVA approaches the light dome, smiling as he breaks through it with his hand. Closing in on Jayden, REVA declares that Jayden remains his investment in the grand lightshow. Exhausted and unable to resist, Jayden vows to defeat REVA no matter what. REVA's smile widens as blood trickles from his lips, ready to touch Jayden's face. Just as REVA reaches out, Grace interrupts, shouting at him to stop. REVA turns to find Grace aiming her firearm at him, prepared to pull the trigger. Amused, REVA remarks that she serves as a backup plan in case Jayden fails. Grace fires a bullet past REVA's face, and Jayden urgently pleads with her not to kill Wiz. REVA proposes a test of strength to gauge Grace's improvement, swiftly snatching the firearm and breaking it with his hand. Grace retaliates with a punch to REVA's face, but he remains unfazed. Acknowledging her increased strength and determination, REVA strikes back, sending Grace crashing into a dirt wall. Blood spews from her mouth. Approaching her, REVA wipes the blood from Grace's mouth and tastes it, promising not to kill her yet.
In a desperate attempt, Grace grabs REVA's arm, and they both plummet to the ground. She tries to break his arm with an armbar, but REVA laughs and hurls her across the underground dirt cave. Landing nearby, she finds solace in Jayden's grasp. With determination in her eyes, Grace recalls a flashback of her weeping over her deceased father's body. Fueled by her emotions, Grace launches herself at REVA, unleashing a barrage of punches and kicks from all angles. Although REVA endures the blows, he wraps his hand around Grace's throat. Jayden urges her to knock out REVA so they can proceed with their plan. Driven by her rage, Grace manages to break free from the chokehold with a kick, launching herself at REVA once more. Sparks of dark red light begin to emanate from her body. REVA comments on the emergence of her true colors. Grace delivers a powerful punch, propelling REVA into the dirt wall. But REVA retaliates quickly, throwing a punch that Grace blocks with her arms, causing the ground to shake. She hurls REVA to the ground and pummels his face with relentless strikes, each punch triggering a miniature earthquake. Grace's eyes glow with a dark red hue as REVA continues to laugh, his face battered against the ground.
Amidst the intense exchange, Jayden encourages Grace to persevere. Summoning all her strength, Grace channels a mighty punch, her fist surrounded by a fiery red glow. However, REVA manages to catch her fist with his hand, leaving Grace astonished that he can still thwart her attack. With a forceful punch, REVA sends Grace crashing through the dirt ceiling, hurtling high into the night sky. As she plummets back down, REVA appears beside her, seizing her by the throat, his excitement palpable as he confesses his irresistible urge to kill her. Together, they hurtle towards the underground dirt cave, leaving Grace unconscious and bleeding profusely from her head and body. Delighted by the sight of such an unusual and repulsive color blossoming within her, REVA demands to see more. Desperately, Jayden calls out Grace's name. REVA's agony intensifies, prompting Wiz's voice to emerge, commanding REVA to vacate his body. A soothing melody from a lute catches Jayden's attention, leading him to witness Lucas serenely singing and playing the instrument with great skill. As Lucas's music fills the air, REVA's eyes flicker between white and black, until he collapses backward, his eyes wide open and unresponsive. Jayden comprehends that Lucas has managed to pacify Wiz's mind, allowing Wiz's inner spirit to combat REVA's control. Driven by determination, Jayden closes his eyes and plunges into the abyss of the Void. Within the depths, he encounters a pulsating and quaking bubble dome. Focusing his resolve, Jayden dives headlong into the bubble dome, fully prepared for what lies ahead.
