Meanwhile, Yukine, Tengu and William hide under the intersection, Tengu suggests to keep a low profile until the time is right where he would use his powers against Kobayashi's. Yukine orders William to cuddle him to which he does.

Back with Ava and Hayden, they arrive at the Kobayashi residence, Asuna greets Ava and Hayden, she is happy about meeting William's girlfriend and the leader, Ava tells them about the situation. They ask her if his father could help, Asuna in a deadpan tone replies that Hiroshi is in his study meditating. There, they tell him about how his son was captured and mind controlled by the Alpha Demon of Japan. This shocked him, Hiroshi asks did Tengu caused this, they reply yes and demands to know anything about him, Horishi however, is depressed, he tells them that if Tengu has already gotten to him this his son is already gone, much to their shock, Ava suggests he isn't gonna give up his own son without even trying however, Hiroshi tells they that neither of them understand, he tells than that Tengu has been at war with the Blue Rangers for centuries and he is sworn to complete cut off their family's bloodline.

Hiroshi explains that Tengu has terrorized Japan for centuries and he uses his own corrupt version of Water, Wind, and Thunder to create the one thing he craves; destruction, if anyone has ever come into contact with his corrupt water has been either cursed to be his warrior slaves or fallen into a nearly irreversible coma. throughout history, the Hiroshi's Blue Ranger ancestors have battled the Tengu in order to purify those corrupted by his water and for the most part they managed to keep his at bay, but eventually, Tengu developed a new goal for his power; Corrupt the Blue Rangers and when he's finished with them, wipe them out. then, many years ago, when Hiroshi was younger, he had to face him, it was hard but he managed to escape with his life before Tengu could corrupt him, he has not heard or seen anything about him afterward then he made the worst discovery of his life, about a year after her daughter was injured he decided to check on her despite how severe her injuries were she should have showed signs of her waking up but when he took a closer look he found out that Tengu cursed her too. Hayden asks is there anyway they could help her, Hiroshi replies that there's a special katana passes down from generations of Blue Rangers imbued with the power of the Swordfish not only does it give the wielder immense power over water it could even purify any kind of curse, Unfortunately, the only one who ever been deemed worthy enough to wield its full power was the first Blue Ranger which what pushed Hiroshi to train his son, William, as hard and as fast as he could to make him worthy of wielding the power of the Swordfish Katana but Hiroshi still couldn't being himself to tell him about that or what he found out about his sister.

After telling that story, Ava was angered, she couldn't believe that Hiroshi not only pressured his only son to train while his sister was hurt but also lying to him about what happened to her. Hiroshi protested that if he told him before he was ready he would have just gone after Tengu and he couldn't bear that thought of losing another child. This upsets Ava that she chastises at Hiroshi for not saving his son after he was captured, Hiroshi says has to protect William. Suddenly, Asuna comes in, now hearing the conversation, she's also angered too, she scolds him for lying to him and also says to him, in a state of fury and cold tone, that he's just a coward and denounces him as her husband stating he isn't that man he knew and married and a loving father to them. As she is storming out, She tells him to either save his son or he sits there and wallows in grief but she should not be there. Ava suggests Hayden we should leave but Hayden got something to say to Hiroshi too. Hayden tells him that William hated him when he first met him and though he didn't deserve to be the leader of the team and honest there some days he thought he right but now he not only been helping me improve as a ranger and leader he's been the closest thing he has had to an older brother again in fact Hayden's been a better friend to him for this past year than his own father has for the most of his life, he says to Hiroshi he can just thon tat when they go save William, They left and Hiroshi just kneels looking very upset.

* During the comic's production, alditoquerido was so engaged to the story, especially when everybody was chewing out at Hiroshi, so he made this non-canon comic where Frank, the Red Ranger of Family Force, showed up to give him a piece of his mind to him. You can view the comic here.
	+ GothikAngelia also made this comic of one of her OCs, Golgotha called him to meet up and give a piece of his mind. And boy... he doesn't hesitate in punching him.
* There scene where Rosa yells at Ava her swearing was a HUGE reference to this scene from rainbine94/RainDrawsStuffs' Main OC Storyline story Hija Perdida where Isabella yells at Nikki for swearing and threatens her with the chancla.
	+ During that scere, for translation, provided by alditoquerido:
		- **Rosa:** “Ava! What have I told about watching your language, especially around your little sister? You may be an adult, but you will always follow that rule! And I don’t care if you’re a Ranger, I’ll still whoop you with my chancla!”
		- **Ava:** “No, Mama! Not the chancla! Anything but the chancla!”
