Synopsis: The Gar Trio wants Hou to sing a song for their next video, to which he agrees. However, one familiar face was displeased until an old friend showed up to deal with it.
Previous battle plays.
OP: Saikkyou.
One bright morning at Hou's House, the Gar Trio are playing instruments while singing a song. However, their "song" is quite terrible and uncoordinated. The lyrics don't even make sense. The sound from those instruments is not so soundly at all.
Garcat: Garcat. N. E. K. O. Garbird. T. O. R. I. Gardog. I. N. U.
Garga: (comes out of the bathroom) What is that horrible monstrosity?
Garcat: (Stops) Ah. Master Garga.
Garga: What in the world are you three doing?
Gardog: We're singing a song, Master.
Garbird: We created it ourselves.
Garga: I see...I hate to break it to you, but that was not singing you three.
Garcat: What? But we've been practicing very hard. For like three days.
Garga: The music was not even music, it's like a noisy market instead. You all need to be harmonious with each other.
Garcat: Aww man...
Hou: What's going on? (Walks in)
Garga: Oh, Hou Ren. There you are. Apparently, our young friends are attempting to sing a song. But it's terrible, sadly.
Hou: Is this because of Note Hibikase by chance?
Garcat: {surprised} How did you know?
Hou: It's all over your face. You were inspired by Scarlet Rose and thus attempted to do the same thing.
Garbird: {Awkward} He saw right through us...
Hou: Although if you want to sing so badly, you should try to look at how professionals sing first. And how songs really go.
Garga: Great Idea. Why didn't I think of that before?
Hou then opens up his computer and plays a song. In this case, it's Golden Hour by JVKE. While the song goes, Hou & Garga stare in calm, while the Trio stare in amazement. Their eyes widened and sparkled as they admired the song.
Garcat: Whoa...It really is Golden Hour.
Gardog: Yeah...like I'm transported to another world.
Garbird: I don't feel sleepy at all.
Garcat: I guess this whole time, we should have learned how it really goes well. {realizes} Hey, wait, that's it. Hou. You should sing a song.
Hou: {surprised} WHAT?
Gardog: Yeah. Hou has greater experience than all of us combined.
Garbird: True.
Garga: I also concur. You did sing a song while Gwen was secretly recording you one time.
Hou: But...
Garga: Come On, Hou. As the Ace of Games, you never refuse a challenge, right? And think, this could be good content for your fans.
Hou: Well...(sigh) if you all insist, I'll do it.
Gar Trio: (cheers) Ya Hoo.
Hou: But we can't use an actual musical for this one because we don't want to get sued by copyright. Instead, we're going to create our own custom song.
Garga: Hmmm, I'm not an expert in this, but I'll do what I can to help.
Hou: Okay, then let's start brainstorming Ideas on how to create our song.
Everyone else: Right.
The gang starts thinking about Ideas on how to sing a song. The theme should be freestyle, they thought. It should be joyous yet also emotional, and display a story. The process was tough as brainstorming was absolutely difficult. Day after Day, they manage to think of the lyrics. As for the instruments, Garcat tries to play the drums, Gardog plays a floor Keyboard, and Garbird plays the flute. And Garga plays the violin. As for Hou, he's on the mic and electric guitar. Practicing their new instruments was also tough, but they all managed. After three whole weeks, they managed to create a song.
Garbird starts off with the flute. Then Garcat plays the snare drums, and then Hou goes off with the Guitar. And then Gardog and Garga join in with violin & keyboard. The sound was really harmonious, so to speak. As Hou sings, however, elsewhere, people are loving it.
Hou:
Once Upon A Time, I was a regular boy,
but then, boy, I just fell into a ploy.
Then suddenly my world just sparked with joy.
And then suddenly, I am such a fun gamer boy.
Then I met my friend, who is a fun-loving dude.
And together we form a dynamic duo.
I'm the Ace of Games, and he's my best man alive.
Man, I say that things could never go so
(Chorus)
Wrooooong...
But I never thought that I was so
Wrooooong...
(Violin strums and drums played)
I discovered A New Game Alive
Then I met my (Plus The Gar Trio) BUDDY, He's such a thrill.
He's got his swords and all, and he's gone overdrive.
Garga: HEY
Man, he's so wicked Cool. And I'm such a fan.
Garga: Oh, You.
Then the garden is filled, and the flowers just bloom.
Man, it felt like Spring, and I got this PERFUME.
It's such a loving day, and here I assume.
That nothing could go wrong, but boy, I was
(Chorus)
SO Wrooooong...
W R O N G. And here that spells
Wrooooong...
(Slow)
But then...I felt that something was gone.
And I felt...(violin play) that I just paid a hefty cost.
Crossed a Line... that I... never should have crossed.
A mistake. I say. And That I am so...
(Chorus)
WROOOOOOOONGGGG...
That. I am. Soooooo.....
WROOOOOOOOOOONG.
And that I wish that I wasn't...
Wrong.
Music ends. Everyone else watching then claps their hands in Joy.
Linkdragon Order: BRAVO. BRAVO.
Gwen: WOW. I didn't know Hou could sing THAT well.
Amaterasu: And the Gar Trio and Garga played their instruments well.
Masato: He created his own song, too. That guy's something else.
Agito: Totally. Ace of Games. More like Ace of Singing.
All over the city, their song went viral. A lot of people are listening to it. It's even ranked as one of the top 10 best songs there is. The next day at school, a lot of paparazzi came to them and asked for Autographs and Selfies, even the teachers. The gang are embarrassed and happy.
Garga: I never thought our song would...get such a crowd.
Hou: I know. I was stunned too. If anything, I personally thought we did badly.
Garga: Nonsense. We did spectacularly. Don't doubt yourself, young one.
Garcat: We're Awesome.
Gardog & Garbird: Yeah.
However, elsewhere, Jasraj is hiding behind the walls while watching with Anger and Jealousy. A few hours later, the gang walks home. But Jasraj, however, sneaks around building by building, stalking them. Garga senses something disturbing.
Hou: What's wrong?
Garga: I sense someone behind us.
Hou looks around.
Hou: But there's no one there. In fact, we're in the middle of a road, so it's like a big space behind us.
Garga: Hmmm, good point. Perhaps I was imagining things.
They continue walking, but Jasraj, who manages not to get caught, continues to sneak around. When they reached home, Jasraj took a picture of Hou's House Address and thus went home.
The Next Day, Hou's Mother screamed, and this woke everyone up.
Hou: What's going on? Ma?
Garga: Are you alright?
Hou's Mother: Someone Leaked Our House Address.
Garga & Hou: WHAT?
Hou: Who?
Hou checks the news to see that everywhere, Hou's house address is leaked to the Public. Reporters are announcing it left and right. Everyone's shocked.
Garga: Who would do such a thing?
Hou: I don't know.
Garcat: Could it be Ranma?
Hou: No. Ranma wouldn't do such a thing; he may be evil, but still.
Suddenly, they hear a doorbell, to which Hou answers, and suddenly a tomato is thrown at him and splats all over his body.
Hou: HEY.
Suddenly, a bunch of Angry Fans are outside. Holding signs such as "Liar", "Evil", "Monster". They throw a bunch of things at him, but Garga bunts them off with a sword.
Garga: WHAT'S THE MEANING OF THIS? WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?
Unknown: Shut Up, Garga. You and Hou are Liars.
Hou: WHAT? What are you talking about?
Unknown #2: Jasraj said that your song is a fake. He said that you stole his song. Here's proof.
The fans show a video of "Hou" going into Jasraj's room and stealing Song Idea.
Hou: WHAT? But I don't even know where he lives.
Unknown #3: LIAR.
They continue to throw food at him, and Hou & Garga immediately went back inside.
Garga: What The Heck? Jasraj sent his fans to attack us?
Hou: I didn't even know he had fans. But still.
Hou's Mother: {Angry} You two...
Hou: Huh?
Hou's Mother: YOU DARE TO BRING THEM TO OUR HOUSE?
Hou: No, Ma. I swear. It wasn't us.
Garga: He's right. Believe us.
Hou's Mother: I don't care. You both had better fix this right now.
Hou: Grrr....
Meanwhile, at Ranma's base, Vile Ranma sits down and notices all of this happening through a live stream. He feels extremely angry.
Vile Ranma: That jerk.
At a police station, Hou's Mother reports the incident.
Police: I'm very sorry that this happened to you. We will see to the crime right away.
Hou's Mother: Thank you.
Hou: I swear. I didn't head to Jasraj's House. I don't even know where he lives. And that video, I just...
Garga: I know. We all know that you didn't do it. But that scoundrel. He must be the one who leaked our address. How dare he?
Hou's Mother: This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't created that song. Like, what were you all thinking?
Hou: Ma. We were just trying to entertain people. We had no idea this would happen.
Hou's Mother: Well, you brought trouble to our doorstep. You'd better fix this right now or else you're grounded.
Hou: WHAT? Grrr...
Suddenly, Hou's Phone rang from his pocket, much to his dismay.
Hou: Now what? Wait. Ranma??? (Picks Up) How did you get my number?
Vile Ranma: I got a new phone, you idiot. But now's not the time for that. You want to take Jasraj down?
Hou: Huh?
Hou & Garga meet up with Vile Ranma at an abandoned site.
Hou: Ranma.
Vile Ranma: Hmmm. (Turns to them) You're five minutes late.
Hou: Why do you call me here?
Vile Ranma: Jasraj, what else? That scumbag leaked your address and thus sent his fans to attack you.
Hou: Yeah, we know that, but still.
Vile Ranma: Isn't it obvious? We're going to attack him. And don't think I'm doing this for you. No attacks you but me.
Hou: Okay, first of all. Harsh truth when you said but you. Second of all, how do you even know Jasraj is here?
Vile Ranma: Destroyer, and I tracked him down, how else? Now, are you with me or not?
Hou: I....fine, let's do it together.
Together, the gang storms the site and finds Jasraj waiting for him. They are looking very angry.
Jasraj: Well, well, well, the boy saviors.
Hou: How dare you, Jasraj?
Garga: You dare to leak our address and send your fans to attack us?
Vile Ranma: I know I hate Hou and all, but you are way worse. What is wrong with you?
Jasraj: Aww, look, those two are teaming up even though they're enemies. Well, here's the thing, Hou. You don't deserve the attention and glory. In fact, your song is so stupid that it breaks my ears so badly. It should have been me.
Vile Ranma: Why you...You're really the lowest of the lowest. I give you that.
Jasraj: Who are you calling the lowest? You're the one who destroyed the stage the other day.
Vile Ranma: So what? At least I attack Hou alone. And unlike you, I'm not a coward and send fans to attack him.
Jasraj: Oh, really?
Hou: Okay, Enough. Jasraj. You really crossed the line. You used deepfake, didn't you?
Jasraj: Guilty as Charged. And if anything, I snuck into your room that night and stole your song idea. And I decided to use deepfake to make it so you're the one who stole my Idea. How you like them apples?
Hou: I won't forgive you for this. (Holds his deck) FACE ME RIGHT NOW.
Jasraj: Sure. But it won't make a difference.
Vile Ranma: No. I'll fight him.
Hou: What?
Vile Ranma: I told you. No one hurts you but me. Now move aside.
Hou: Uh...
Garga: Hou. I hate to say it, but let's let Ranma & Destroyer handle this.
Hou: Ummm...
In another area of the site.
Vile Ranma: Reveal the Gateway to the Lost Dimension. Luminize. Dimension Gateway.
Jasraj: Crush all who stood in my way. For they shall kneel before absolute fists. Luminize. Brawlers Millenia.
Both: Raise the Flag.
Vile Ranma: Dragon World.
Jasraj: Danger World. I have the first move. Draw. Charge & Draw. I call Gustares to the center. Attack the fighter.
Gustares attacks and hits, 2 damage. And 1 more damage due to plunder.
Jasraj: My turn is over.
Vile Ranma: Heh. Behold. (Holds his flag) My Lost World's power. Cover the Flag. LOST WORLD.
Lost World appears.
Garga & Hou: ALREADY?
Vile Ranma: Deck Change. Lost Vanity Dimension. (Destroyer Appears) Vile Demonic Dragon, Vanity Husk Destroyer. Draw. Charge & Draw. I call Agonia to the center.
Agonia appears.
Vile Ranma: Cast. D Suction. (Destroys Agonia, gains resources) Now Tremble in Fear. Quake in Terror. And be Consumed by Despair. I buddycall Vile Demonic Dragon, Vanity Husk Destroyer to the right.
Destroyer appears.
Vile Ranma: I equip Lostless Buster. Iregeit Delusion to the left. Iregeit, attack Gustares.
Iregeit destroys Gustares.
Vile Ranma: Double attack. Triple Attack.
Damage Dealt Twice. 6 life left.
Vile Ranma: Destroyer.
Destroyer: I shall grant that wish.
Jasraj: Cast. Battle Aura Circle.
Destroyer: I have double attack. (Fires)
Jasraj: Cast. Battle Aura Circle.
Vile Ranma: Suit yourself, stupid. (Fires)
3 lives left.
Vile Ranma: This will finish you. (Fires)
Jasraj: Oh, Please. Cast. Scowling Complainers! (Blocks) You have no attacks left. My turn.
Vile Ranma: Final Phase.
All: EH?
Vile Ranma: CAST. VANITY ZERO BLAZER.
Impact Sequence.
Jasraj: No, no, no, no, no, no.
Vile Ranma: IMPACT. VANITY ZERO BLAZER!!!!
Destroyer Fires Away. Jasraj receives one heck of a blast and loses.
Vile Ranma: I win.
Garga: No way...
Hou: He won in just one turn...just like me. [Ranma, how strong have you gotten?]
Jasraj stares at the floor for a while, and he slowly laughs out loud.
Jasraj: HAHAHAHA. You think winning against me makes a difference? You have no evidence against me. Meaning I still win the war.
Vile Ranma: Oh, really? (Plays a recording of earlier through his phone)
Jasraj: WHAT?
Vile Ranma: It's called A hustle. It's my word against yours. Or should I say, Our Word. Isn't That Right, Hou?
Hou: I...
Jasraj: You tricked me!!! (Runs away)
Hou: He's getting away. (runs)
Vile Ranma: (stops him) Not for long.
Suddenly, Police Cars arrive and stop him. Jasraj is shocked and scared as he comes to a halt.
Jasraj: NO!!!
Officer: (Handcuffs him) Jasraj Law. I'm placing you under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. You have a right to an attorney; if you can't afford one, one will be provided for you.
Jasraj: NOOOOO!!!!
While Jasraj has been taken away, Hou & Vile Ranma look at him with anger while crossing arms. Vile Ranma then walks away.
Hou: You're leaving?
Vile Ranma: (Without looking back) I'm only here to take him down. And now that my job is done, I have nothing more to say to you.
Hou: Hmmm...
Vile Ranma: (stops) Actually, hold on. I listened to your song. And you're right. You did cross a line. And if you hadn't done that, you wouldn't have paid the cost. And now you're too late to fix anything.
Hou: I...
Vile Ranma: I'll let you off easy. But next time we face each other, I won't have mercy. (Walks away)
Hou: {Sad} Ranma...
Hou watches his former friend walking away. Later that day, At Home, Hou's mother, Hou, Garga, Cross, and the Gar Trio.
Hou's Mother: Hou, I'm very sorry.
Hou: {confused} For what?
Hou's Mother: I shouldn't have lashed out at you. I'm truly sorry.
Hou: It's fine. It's my fault for creating the song.
Garcat: {guilt-ridden} No, it's our fault. It was our idea from the start.
Garga: Don't blame yourselves. The real culprit was sent to prison, and we explained the whole truth to the net and fixed everything. Although I'm surprised Ranma came to help us out.
Hou: True...(sigh) But he still hates me. Or rather, jealous of me. All because I've gotten stronger back then. Maybe he's right about what he said. (Looks down)
Garga: (comforts) It's not your fault...In any case, the police gave us a button to call them, in case anyone comes to our house to attack us.
Hou: Let's just hope they don't.
Suddenly, Cross arrives with a batch of cupcakes on a tray.
Cross: I made cupcakes.
Hou's Mother: Oh. Thank you, Cross. Cheer Up, Son. I'm sure Ranma will one day come around, and you both will be friends again.
Hou: Yeah...
Hou looks at the window behind him, and therefore, he looks at the bright blue sky while feeling sad. Meanwhile, Ranma feels strange...
Vile Ranma: [Why did I help him? I did say no one hurts him but me, but...I should have stopped caring for him. So why?]
???: Excuse Me.
Vile Ranma: Hmm? (Notices someone entering) {impressed} Ah. Welcome Back. Daryl.
Anime Ending: Buddy Funny Days
Hou: Masato has an old friend, and that old friend has joined Vile Ranma's side. Next time, "Tribulation of Bonds". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
