## Summary

As the Keepers fight, Hiroto Mori watches the battle. His ability and sensitivity to sound allows him to use vibrations to sense the space around him.
Thanks to this, while watching Ely, Shadowl, Roja and Maiko fight against his skeletons, he can also sense Yubiko having fun and Chandra facing two enemies. Realizing there are only two experienced Keepers, Hiroto decides to buy time.

Near the Great Spinal Column, Simon is busy repelling Chandra's smoke attacks with Sandek's advice, rapidly swinging his swords. As the young Keeper begins to gain confidence and strikes the enemy, Chandra teleports behind him with smoke and grabs him. Tokio, however, does not stand by and, with a partially Beastification punch, hits him and throws him to the ground.

Their opponent stands up with his face engulfed in flames and the two remember that when he is angry he gets stronger. Simon plans to send Tokio, whom Chandra wants to capture, to help Azuma who is fighting alone. Their enemy is too superior and just wants to buy time.
Tokio, however, has a different idea: to be the one to face Chandra, continuing to escape his attacks thanks to his new legs. Eventually Simon gives in and walks away.

Meanwhile, in the Ojima Tower Ruins, Yubiko and Azuma are fighting at inhuman speed.
The woman is enjoying the fight so much that she forgets her mission, recognizing that her opponent knows how to fight. However, this does not help the boy who is soon overwhelmed by her ability to copy and extend his limbs.
Taking him by surprise with a ground attack, she breaks Azuma's limbs and he falls to the ground.
However, his enemy goads him into using **Raise**, excited by the possibility of continuing with a second round.

The boy gets up and understands that he will have to push himself to the maximum because his opponent knows martial arts and is an expert fighter.
Launching at full speed, Azuma manages to take Yubiko by surprise, pinning her to the ground with her legs locked around her neck. Even if the woman manages to push herself with her back and kick the boy in the face, he doesn't give in and tries to choke her. When he thought he'd made it, Yubiko spawns a dozen heads that reach out to bite and tear into Azuma's body.

On Center Court, the Keepers continue to battle the skeletons. Maiko's attempts to directly attack Hiroto are repelled by a sound barrier. The man counterattacks by throwing sonic blades produced only by the clacking of his teeth. When they realize they are in a stalemate and the enemy's goal is another, they send Ely, covered in a robe of Shadowl darkness, to find their comrades on the island.

Tokio meanwhile keeps running away from Chandra with his partially Beastification legs. While he hopes that everyone will be saved, he realizes that his pursuer is following him too well and changes his strategy, hiding.
The expert Choujin identifies it immediately and Tokio remembers Nari's words: when a Choujin uses his skills, he sends out a signal that all the Choujins in the vicinity perceive and therefore gives away their location.
Though confused, Tokio concentrates as he remembers his promise to Simon to handle the situation.

Meanwhile, the young Keeper was running towards Azuma, thinking that Tokyo won't be able to hold on for long and he himself isn't at full strength after the previous week. His run is interrupted however by several swords sticking in front of him: **Madoromi - True Turbidity** transforms the ground into quagmire.

Recognizing it as the late monk Rinbo's power, he realizes that his enemy is Noh Mask, the Nue Chimera appears in front of him and prepares to face him.
