In the Overworld, Vincy, Yukiko, and Ema waited for Taro to return in the middle of the forest. They were starting to get worried, as he was late. Then, Vincy stood up and asked:
"Come on, why is he so late?"
"Who knows... maybe destroying the spawner isn't that simple," Ema replied.
"What if something happened to Taro?" Yukiko asked.
"I told you I'd return, Yukiko," a calm voice answered suddenly.
Everyone quickly turned toward the voice. Taro was standing there, holding the cube.
"Welcome back, pal," Vincy waved.
"Did you destroy the spawner?" Ema asked.
"Not just the spawner," Taro replied. "The entire castle too."
"Whoa! So that's why you were late," Vincy said, surprised.
"Yeah, but that's not the only reason," Taro added. "I came with a special guest."
"A guest? Who is it?" Ema asked, confused.
After that, Taro called his name to appear. Enzo emerged from behind.
"Greetings, Legendary Warriors," Enzo greeted respectfully.
Vincy and Ema were surprised. Then, Vincy asked:
"You were that wizard inside Taro?"
"Almost true," Enzo responded. "I was a wandering spirit connected with TaroAbodo, until I became free once again."
"Could you explain it all?" Ema asked.
Enzo began explaining about Armageddon, the Azure Kingdom, Taro's true identity and secret, the day he met Taro, and much more.
"That explains everything," Ema said. "I don't know if that was a coincidence or fate."
"Who cares? It was amazing!" Vincy exclaimed.
After a few minutes, Kevin and Lara arrived.
"So the Azure Knight finally returned," Kevin said suddenly.
"How've you been, Kevin?" Taro asked with a smile.
"It was pretty normal... until huge creatures began appearing," Lara answered.
"True... but they suddenly disappeared a few moments later," Kevin added.
"That's because Armageddon was sealed in this cube," Taro replied, showing it. "Thanks for everything... and sorry for getting you involved in this."
"Stop apologizing. We couldn't let that king hurt innocent people," Kevin interrupted, offering a handshake.
Taro gladly shook his hand.
Then, Enzo asked:
"So, is everyone ready?"
"Yes, we're all together," Taro responded.
"Where are we going?" Ema asked.
"To release our Legendary Creatures," Kevin answered.
"HEEEH?! I JUST MET THE PHOENIX YESTERDAY!" Vincy shouted, frustrated.
"Sorry, Vincy," Taro said. "Those creatures actually belong to a different realm. Besides, they're living beings too... and they deserve their freedom."
"Yeah, you're clearly right," Vincy replied.
Enzo instantly unleashed a rainbow-colored portal. Without hesitation, everyone entered. On the other side, they found a wonderful field with a colorful sky.
"Whoa! Where are we?!" Vincy asked, surprised.
"This is the Legendary Domain," Enzo responded. "They lived here before Armageddon sealed them."
"It's always Armageddon... the whole problem," Ema mocked.
They continued walking until they reached a giant black structure.
"Is that their home?" Vincy asked.
"It's a prison," Kevin corrected. "That place is where they were sealed. They communicated with us through the essence in our items."
"Man, I feel bad for them," Vincy said in a sad tone.
"No worries, Vincy," Taro replied. "We're here to restore everything from the beginning."
After they entered, they saw six black, stony cubes. The creatures were frozen and dark on the surface.
"W-WHAT IS THAT?!" Vincy shouted.
"Apparently, that's what imprisoned them," Ema answered.
"Yeah, and now it's our turn to set them free," Taro said. "Hold your items and aim at those black things."
Taro and Kevin pointed their blades. Then, Yukiko pointed her katana, Ema her necklace, Vincy his ring, and Lara her scythe. Instantly, massive, colorful lights burst out of the items. After a few seconds of impact, the black shapes were shattered.
From the ruins, all six Legendary Creatures were released. They flew upward, and after the warriors stepped outside, they destroyed the entire structure.
Later on, the Azure Dragon descended and declared:
"You found each of us in different lands and ended the darkness. You could have kept us, yet you chose our freedom. Humans... no, our warriors... how can we thank you?"
"We don't need anything, Azure Dragon," Taro responded, smiling. "You fought alongside us against Armageddon... and that's enough. Just live as you used to."
"Thank you, TaroAbodo... and the rest of you as well," the dragon said. "We will never forget you."
The creatures then spread in different directions, returning to their places.
"So long, partners," Taro whispered.
"Sheesh, man, I want to cry," Vincy replied.
"Let's return. We've done what we came to do," Kevin said.
Later on, Enzo opened the portal back to the Overworld.
Once they returned, Ema asked:
"So... is it finally over?"
"Unfortunately, not yet," Enzo answered with a serious tone.
"NOT YET?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN NOT YET?!" Vincy exclaimed.
"One of Armageddon's minions is still out there," Taro explained. "Their plan was to open portals to Brookhaven. Now, unknown enemies can appear at any time."
"Where is he now? How do we stop him?" Ema asked.
"We don't know," Taro replied. "And even worse... we don't know how to stop this. Until I find a solution, I'll keep gathering information and stopping incoming invaders."
"We'll help you, Abodo," Ema said.
"Yeah, as long as we're together," Vincy added.
Taro stayed silent for a moment, then smiled and put a hand on Vincy's shoulder, saying:
"Thank you, everyone. Now if you'll excuse us, Vincy and I have to deal with something."
"Wait, we do?!" Vincy asked, confused.
"Yes, Vincy... we do," Taro repeated, opening a portal. "Let's enter with Enzo."
"Umm... alright..." Vincy muttered.
Taro, Vincy, and Enzo stepped into the portal, separating from the others.
"Where are they going?" Kevin asked.
"Abodo went to find a cure to return Vincy's humanity," Ema answered.
"What do you mean?" Kevin asked.
"Somehow, Vincy got cursed and turned into a fiend," Ema explained.
"I see... good luck then," Kevin said, waving.
Then, he left with Lara. Yukiko, meanwhile, had remained silent all that time. Ema noticed, yet she chose not to ask.
In the Kingdoms Realm, Taro and Vincy left the Azure Kingdom after separating from Enzo.
"Hey, Taro, where are we going?" Vincy asked.
"Simple. We're going to remove your curse," Taro responded confidently.
"What? You should've told me! There's no need to–" Vincy began.
"No, Vincy. We can't ignore that," Taro interrupted. "Think about it. What if that figure takes full control?"
"Oh... you're right," Vincy agreed.
"Relax. We already have all the ingredients... except for one," Taro added.
"Wait, what? When did you gather them?" Vincy asked, confused.
"Remember when I left to find my Azure Blade? I gathered them on the way," Taro replied.
"Sheesh... you should think about yourself too, pal," Vincy said.
"Don't worry. I do think about everyone," Taro answered.
As they walked, they started chatting.
"How were things when I wasn't home?" Taro asked.
"Meh, normal and boring," Vincy replied.
They were silent for a while, then Vincy suddenly asked:
"Taro, is there anything going on between you and Yukiko?"
"Huh? Like what?" Taro asked back.
"Feelings... like love, for example?" Vincy answered.
Taro's face turned bright red, completely shy and shocked.
"Whoa! You really love her!" Vincy said.
"M-M-Maybe," Taro stuttered, sweating.
"What do you mean by 'maybe'?" Vincy asked.
"I don't know... when I'm with her, my face turns red and my heart beats faster... unlike with Ema for example," Taro explained.
"Yeah, that's what they call love, buddy," Vincy said. "Besides, you barely talk to Ema. Not your fault... you're just a shy guy."
Taro paused, then said:
"Vincy, for me... true love is something that can only be experienced through marriage. Anything else is fake... or at least, that's what my mother taught me. There's no relationship between me and Yukiko."
Vincy smiled and suggested:
"Then why not create one? Why not experience real love?"
Taro remained quiet, and Vincy added:
"Yukiko has feelings for you as well."
"How do you know?" Taro asked.
"I noticed when you weren't around," Vincy answered. "I'll give you an example: your scarf. She would never sew something like that unless she truly cared. Don't call it love... at least not yet... but call it care. Worried about your relationship? Just marry her! Ignore the romantic junk in shows. It's totally fake."
Taro smiled and replied:
"Thanks, Vincy. You're right."
"Sheesh, can't wait to see you two married," Vincy grinned.
"Me too. You and Ema will be great parents," Taro said.
"Yeah... that's if I stay," Vincy muttered sadly.
"What do you mean?" Taro asked.
"I have to go back to Italy after school. My dad needs help on the farm," Vincy replied.
"So what? You can still be together," Taro said. "You're not helping forever... or maybe you can convince them to stay."
"Staying is impossible, but maybe you're right... I can visit," Vincy replied.
"You're always welcome, Vincy," Taro replied, smiling.
"Sheesh, that reminds me of our last camping trip," Vincy said, grinning.
Hours later, they finally reached their destination. The last ingredient was a horn from a volcanic boar. They entered a cave beside the volcano.
"Sheesh, it's way too hot in here," Vincy said.
Inside, they spotted a giant volcanic boar. The beast sensed them and stood tall. Taro prepared his blade, but Vincy stopped him.
"Let me handle this one," Vincy whispered, activating his {Berserk Mode}.
He approached the boar, ready to strike!
