A Thousand Reasons - Chapter 3: 3rd Bout - Episode 4

Feather is distracted from a chat with Randall by a particularly strong aura and runs off to find the source. Meanwhile the Masked Cypher faces Ghandagoza in match six. Ghandagoza has realized (Captain)'s identity and declares that if he wins, he will take the captain as his disciple.

Feather: Randall!

Randall: Do you even have an indoor voice? What do you want?

Feather flings open the door to Randall's dressing room and bounds inside. He is met with a withering glare from his childhood friend.

Feather: I had to let you know how excited I am to play out our final battle on this stage!

Feather: Our fists have so much talking to do—such a tale to tell!

Randall: Pipe down already! You're raising my blood pressure.

Randall: Keep your trap shut until the match starts.

Feather: But the anticipation is killing me!

Feather: My fists are overflowing with emotion that needs to be shared!

Randall: I don't care! Go flail around outside if you can't contain yourself!

Randall: Hm?

Feather: !

The two young men's heads turn in unison toward the door as a strong presence makes itself felt.

Feather: That combative spirit... It's so potent...

Feather: Could it be?

As abruptly as he burst in, Feather barrels out of the room.

Randall: Hey, wait, Feather!

Meanwhile, the next match is about to begin.

Commentator: Here we are at match six! Who will be next to advance to the semifinals?

Commentator: On my right, we have the mysterious newcomer who defeated Ladiva in match two...

Commentator: The Masked Cypher!

Lyria: Vyrn, Vyrn! The Masked Cypher is up!

Vyrn: Easy, Lyria, easy! I'm watching!

Lyria: You can do it, Masked Cypher!

Commentator: And on my left...

Commentator: Ghandagoza!

Lyria: Oh no... Can the Masked Cypher beat him?

Vyrn: Ghandagoza's a tough one...

Lyria: He is a legendary martial artist after all...

Vyrn: Well, we don't know that for sure, but he is crazy strong.

Lyria: Ahhh, I don't like this!

Vyrn: We just gotta believe in the Masked Cypher! And we still need to find out what happened to Siero.

Vyrn: We can't slack off now!

Ghandagoza: Gahahaha! How I have waited for this day!

Ghandagoza: I still haven't given up on making you my disciple, you know!

Ghandagoza: Remember that wish we get if we win the tournament?

Commentator: Oh? What's this talk of disciples?

Commentator: And why is Ghandagoza covered in wounds before the match has even started?

Commentator: It sounds an awful lot like Ghandagoza knows the Masked Cypher's true identity!

Lyria: Oh no, Vyrn, did you hear that?

Vyrn: I knew that old dude had figured it out!

Lyria: Yes...

Lyria: And even worse than that, if he wins, Ghandagoza's going to take (Captain) as his disciple!

Vyrn: That's trouble... But we've gotta leave this up to our captain!

Commentator: This is shaping up to be an exciting match! Let's get right to it!

Commentator: Ready...

Commentator: Fight!
