As Ranmaru continues to get deeper and deeper into the mystery of the Phantom demons, he is accosted by two strange men wearing shades and wielding pistols when he was strolling in a local park. To make things worse, Saya gets injured in a depicted hit and run accident staged during her break hours by an unknown vehicle. Ryoko and the others inform Ranmaru that a secret sort of cult society may have hired assassins to kill her when the TOKKO unit met Ranmaru in the old Machida apartment. In the subsequent fight, Akiha helps Rannmaru awaken his bond with his symbiote demon by stabbing him in the chest before pushing him into the open hole that he (and the other TOKKO members have seen 5 years ago) had seen in the Machida massacre. Ranmaru's awakened symbiote soon turned the tides in the favor of TOKKO when his symbiote defeated the demons in the area.
