Anubis Is Reborn.As the Ancient One stands at a temple, Lady Kayura arrives to confront him. The Ancient One proves to be skilled and dodges or counters all of her attacks to Lady Kayura's surprise. She tries blasting the Ancient One, but he absorbs her attack and disappears, causing her to realize that she needs to report the troubling development of the Ancient One's return to Talpa. The Ancient One travels to a waterfall where it is revealed that he's not actually the Ancient One but someone who has taken on his role and his way of doing things. Ryo is determined to get into the Nether Realm and rescue his friends and despite Mia and Rowen's warnings that it is a trap, he is insistent so Rowen decides to join him in trying. Lady Kayura reports on the fake Ancient One to Talpa and her belief that it is merely someone who is able to wield his staff, but Talpa tells her to ignore him and focus on capturing Ryo and Rowen which she has a plan for. As Ryo, Rowen, Mia, Ully and White Blaze prepare to travel into the city to find a way into the Nether Realm, the fake Ancient One appears and reveals himself to be Anubis, the former Warlord of Cruelty. Anubis explains that he is now following the path of the Ancient One and his power, but warns that he can't protect the Warriors from everything and that they must be careful of the traps of the Nether Realm. While Anubis doesn't agree with what they are doing, he does agree to help all he can before leaving. In the city, they come under attack from Lady Kayura, but again prove no match for her even with their armor. After White Blaze scratches her, Lady Kayura blasts him, but he emerges as Black Blaze and shields Ryo and Rowen from another attack. Lady Kayura turns the ground into quicksand to capture them, but Anubis appears and frees them and opens a portal into the Nether Realm which Ryo, Rowen and White Blaze jump into. Lady Kayura promises to get them next time while Mia and Ully hope that they succeed and return safely.
