Kirito and Eugeo's swords ignite as they charge toward each other, and chain swords.

Kirito: Why? Why did you lose to the Synthesis Ritual? I thought you trained to be a swordsman and leave Rulid to Centoria just to bring back your childhood friend, Alice!

Eugeo just ignored him as they both continue to whack each other with swords.

Kirito: Me and you never fought seriously before, haven't we? I've thought about it a lot as well. Which one of us would win if we really crossed swords? Honestly, I always thought you would surpass me one day. Well, here's something new I'd like to show you!

Kirito's feet light up as he kicks Eugeo's sword up to the ceiling. When he does, Kirito tries to strike him with a sword skill, but then, Eugeo quickly reacted, using a burst element sacred art, sending him flying back. Good news is that he got back up on his feet.

Sonic: You ok?

Kirito: Yeah.

Alice: Is that person really your friend, Eugeo?

Tails: Come to think of it, this is the first time me and Knuckles are meeting him.

Mighty: That's definitely him.

Kirito: Alice, didn't you say that Eugeo's already been synthesized?

Alice: That's true, but... I'm not sure how to say this, but for someone who just became an Integrity Knight, he seems too accustomed for battle. For instance, the incarnate arms skill he used earlier, as well as that aerial element skill just now, makes it hard to believe that he's a novice.

Ray: I bet that Administrator lady did something to buff him up.

Tails: Probably.

Eugeo uses the incarnate arms ability to bring the Blue Rose Sword back to him.

Knuckles: You want us to take him?

Kirito: No thanks.

Kirito looks at his black sword.

Kirito: I'm counting on you, partner. I promised to give you a name once this fight's over. Just lend me your strength. Let's go, Eugeo!

The fight continues as they keep whacking swords. Eventually, they strike each other's shoulders, and then, Kirito uses the sword skill, Sonic Leap, and Eugeo uses another sword skill to stop that move.

Kirito: Does that skill have a name?

Eugeo: Baltio Style. Storm Wave.

Kirito: That's Golgorosso's sword style. Do you remember who taught you that sword skill?

Eugeo: I don't know or care. She's the only one I need to know. It's for her sake that I take up my sword and live in order to defeat her enemies.

Kirito: There's no doubt about it. Just like Eldrie and Alice, Eugeo has...

Kirito remembers what Cardinal said about the Piety Module.

Kirito: Just what kind of memories can I think of that can take out the Piety Module? If I can just... No, words alone won't be enough to break Administrator's art. Whatever I infuse my sword with should reach his soul. And that's what I'm going to believe in.

They both separate from each other, and Kirito charges ahead at him.

Kirito: Eugeo! There are people precious to you! Selka, who's waiting back in Rulid for our return! Golgorosso and Liena, who instructed us at the Swordcraft Academy! Tiese and Ronie who have been worried about us right up until the moment we said goodbye! And overall, wasn't your wish to go back to Rulid with Alice?!

Eugeo takes a quick look at Alice, and his forehead shows a purple triangle.

Kirito: You have to remember, Eugeo!

Eugeo begins to remember his childhood, when him and Kirito played by the Gigas Cedar, battling against each other using sticks like swords. Then, they both stop fighting, and Eugeo looks at one-eyed Alice.

Eugeo: Alice.

Everybody gasps.

Mighty: Tell me he remembers.

Sonic: Eugeo! Do you remember now?

Kirito: Eugeo?

Kirito steps toward him, but then, as he did, Eugeo stabs the ground with his sword.

Tails: Huh?

Ray: Eugeo?!

Sonic: What's he doing?

Eugeo: Enhance Armament.

He uses his perfect weapon control art to freeze Kirito, Alice, and everyone else in the room to ice.

Sonic, Kirito, and Alice: Eugeo!

Kirito: Why?

He walks away and back into Administrator's room, taking off his armor, and sheathing his sword. Then, he finds Chudelkin behind him.

Chudelkin: So, have you taken care of those rebels, Number 32?

Eugeo: I have sealed them in ice, Your Eminence, Prime Senator.

Chudelkin: That's fine, but you did finish them off properly, right?

Eugeo: No, I did not, Prime Senator. Since the pontifex's orders was to stop the rebels.

Chudelkin: That won't do! That just won't do! When you speak to me, you remember to call me, Your Eminence, Prime Senator! Got that?! Your Eminence! Next time you forget, you'll be turned into a horse as punishment! You'll carry me on your back, and while that's happening, I'll go hi-yo! Hahaha! Now then, I'm going to carry out Her Eminence's orders.

Chudelkin spins like a ball and heads down to the floor Sonic and the others are in. When he does that, Eugeo heads to the pontifex's bed.

Eugeo: Lady Pontifex.

Administrator: Welcome back, Eugeo. You've taken care of your errand?

Eugeo: Yes.

Administrator: Well done! For that, I shall give you a reward. Please climb onto bed.

Eugeo climbs onto Administrator's bed.

Administrator: As promised, I will give you what you desire. Love that's meant only for you. But let me first heal you.

She uses her sacred arts skill to heal Eugeo.

Administrator: Also, let me have one more good look at your face. Since there was a convenient hole in your memory, I inserted the module there, but perhaps I shouldn't have been lazy. Let's redo your synthesis. You can have your reward after that, alright Eugeo?

She takes out the Piety Module from Eugeo's head, and he remembers everything again, including his childhood with Kirito and Alice. He sheds tears when he does.

Administrator: Just lie still.

She takes out another module for Eugeo.

Administrator: This is an improved module I have just finished. Synthesizing with it allows you to use the power of meaning immediately. Will you show me your memories again? I'll put it into the one you hold most dear this time. I've made it so you could speak. Now chant the command I taught you earlier.

He doesn't speak.

Administrator: Did you forget? What will I ever do with you? It's Remove Core Protection.

Eugeo: M... M...!

Administrator: Huh?!

Eugeo: Mo...ve! HRRAAAAAAGH!

Eugeo gets up and takes out the dagger, attempting to stab Administrator with it, but a barrier stops it. He tries as hard as he can to break through, but the force sends him flying back.

Administrator: For you to have regained your senses... You've certainly fooled me. Not to mention that prop is the handwork of that little brat from the library, is it? But that's too bad. No metal object of any kind can damage me now.

Eugeo: What?!

Administrator: You poor child. Just when I promised you that if you gave all of yourself to me, I'd love you back the same amount. That eternal love you've been seeking all your live, and that eternal control... You were so close to obtaining it!

Eugeo: Eternal love. Eternal control.

Administrator: That's right, Eugeo. If you entrust everything to me, the thirst that's been making you suffer will be quenched instantly. All the fears and worries you've been carrying will be gone. So this is your last chance. Use the sword at your waist to shatter that toy. Do that, and I'll forgive your heinous crime with my tremendous amount of love.

Eugeo: To love is to control and to be controlled. You don't even know what love is! I'm sure you were once the same way. Starved for love, and sought it out, but you were never given any. Love isn't about control. Nor is it something you can get as a reward, or in a transaction. The same way you water flowers, you give it continuously. I'm sure that's what love is!

Administrator: How disappointing. I was just about to forgive you for rebelling against the Axiom Church, and try to save your soul, but this is how you speak to me?

Administrator starts glowing, and makes wind.

Eugeo: Huh?!

Administrator: Maybe it would be a waste to kill you and turn you into a jewel. This will take some time, but I'll use force synthesis on you, just like I did with her.

Eugeo: Her?

Administrator: That's right. Number 30, whom you're so infatuated with. Because she also refused to chant the command, the automated senators have worked on her for days to forcefully disable her protection.

Eugeo: Alice?!

Administrator: I was asleep, so I wasn't exactly watching, but it must have been so agonizing for her.

By hearing this, Eugeo becomes even more angry.

Eugeo: You... YOU!

Administrator: Well? How do you feel about getting to at least share this experience?

Eugeo unsheathes the Blue Rose Sword, and charges at Administrator, using Sonic Leap. Then, she unleashes a barrier to stop it.

Eugeo: SHATTER!

His sword breaks through the barrier, and Administrator using an aerial element to send Eugeo flying back. He picks up the dagger lying on the floor, and stands up.

Administrator: That sword... Now I see.

?: AHHHHHHHHHH

Chudelkin appears from the floor.

Chudelkin: Save me! Please save me, Your Eminence, Pontifex!

He looks to Eugeo.

Chudelkin: You! He's a traitor! He claimed that he sealed away 30, and those rebels, but he was just going easy on...

A hand grabs him by the shoe.

Chudelkin: Ahhh! Let go!

Chudelkin breaks free and jumps away, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mighty, Ray, Kirito, and Alice arrive.

Sonic: Nobody wants to hear you talk, Chudelkin!

Tails: You're annoying!

Eugeo: Kirito! Sonic! Mighty! Ray!

Kirito: Hey Eugeo.

Mighty: Hey! You're back!

Eugeo: Who are those two?

Sonic: That's Tails and Knuckles. They're my best friends.

Eugeo and Alice look to each other, each with a smile.

Eugeo: I'm sorry, everyone. I gave into Administrator's temptation, and tried to hurt all of you. I thought I should at least atone for it by my own hand.

Ray: Oh wow!

Kirito: We knew you'd say that right away.

Eugeo: You're the same as always.

Knuckles: Nice to meet you, Eugeo.

Eugeo: Nice to meet you too, Knuckles, Tails.

Alice: Now then. Let's finish this off.

Eugeo wipes away his tears and stands right next to the group.

Sonic: So, that's the pontifex, huh?

Alice: That's right. She hasn't changed at all, after six years.

Administrator: It was almost time to reset Bercouli and Fanatio, but I've only used you for six years, right? Your logic circuits don't seem to be malfunctioning. Could it be the influence of that irregular unit? How amusing. There must be something you wish to say to me, Alice. I won't be mad, so say it now.

Alice hesitates, but finally speaks. Lady Pontifex! Our glorious order of Integrity Knights has been destroyed as of today! All because of the swords and hands of these seven rebels beside me, along with the endless obsession and deception you've built along with this tower. My ultimate mission is to protect a tranquil lifestyle and peaceful sleep for those without swords! Therefore, Lady Pontifex, your actions are unquestionably detrimental to the well-being of those who reside in the human empire!

Chudelkin: You shut your mouth! You lowly defective puppet knight! You wretched knights are just puppets that can only do what I order you to!

Sonic: Quiet, clown!

Chudelkin: You be quiet!

Administrator: It doesn't seem to be a logic circuit error, after all. And her Piety Module is still functioning. Meaning that she disabled code 871 imposed by that person of her own volition? Rather than by a sudden emotional burst?

Tails: Code 871?

Kirito: She must be talking about the seal of the right eye.

Administrator: Well, I won't know anything more unless I run an analysis. Now then. Chudelkin? Since I'm so generous, I would be happy to restore your ruined reputation. Let's see you render all those 8 rebels powerless with your arts.

She makes her bed disappear.

Chudelkin: Your Eminence, Pontifex!

Administrator: What is it, Chudelkin?

He kneels down.

Everyone: Huh?

Mighty: What is this guy doing?

Knuckles: Can we beat this clown up right now?

Chudelkin: I, Prime Senator Chudelkin, for the first time in many years of service, beg to present to you with a most insolent request! I shall gladly risk my life destroying these rebels! Therefore! Once I've carried out my mission, if Your Eminence... If you would allow me to touch you with my own hands, kiss you, and then spend the night of my dreams with you... Please grant me that wish!

Kirito, Eugeo, and Alice: Seriously?

Administrator just laughs really hard at that question.

Administrator: Very well, Chudelkin. I swear on the goddess of creation, Stacia. Once you've finished you mission, you can have me for one night.

Chudelkin: I am overcome with supreme joy at this moment!

Knuckles: At least Robotnik's not gross.

Sonic: So true.

Chudelkin: My fighting spirit's been amplified! I'm overflowing with energy! To be more specific, I am invincible!

He stands on his head, with his arms and legs spread out.

Chudelkin: System Call! Generate Thermal Element!

Circles of flares appear on all his fingers, thumbs, toes, and eyes.

Kirito: What?!

Chudelkin: I'll show you my greatest, ultimate sacred art! Come forth! Genie! Burn these rebels to ash!

The flames move to another part of the room, merging together, and making a giant, flaming, smiling monster looking just like Chudelkin.

Mighty: You've gotta be kidding me!

Sonic: This guy's nuts!
