The scene opens with a somber atmosphere. The brawlers are lying defeated on the ground, their Crystal Monsters exhausted and panting beside them. Grai stands tall, a triumphant smile on his face as he holds the Crystal Balls in his hands. The once vibrant colors of the Crystal Balls now glow with a dark, ominous energy, pulsing with power. His malicious laughter fills the air, echoing through the forest.
Hunter Grai: mocking “At long last… I have them all. The power to awaken the force is mine, and there’s nothing you can do to stop me now!”
He raises his arms as the Crystal Balls begin to swirl with dark energy, their power crackling through the air like lightning. The brawlers struggle to rise, but their bodies are bruised and weakened. They glance at each other, determination flickering in their eyes.
Kouchu: gritting his teeth “We… can’t give up… Not now.”
Shauna: panting “We still have a chance… We can’t let Grai win!”
Sakuro: struggling to stand “Our Crystal Monsters… they can still fight. We just need to find a way!”
Roaracryst, Ninecoat, and the others push forward, despite their injuries. However, Grai is ready. He summons his own Crystal Monsters with a snap of his fingers. Champfero roars again, flames shooting from its mouth as it steps forward to guard Grai. The brawlers attempt to fight back, but Grai uses his Crystal Monsters to keep them at bay, his cruel laughter ringing in the background.
Hunter Grai: smiling wickedly “You think you can defeat me? It’s already too late. The power of the Crystal Balls is mine.”
He commands his monsters to strike, and Champfero unleashes a wave of fiery energy toward the brawlers, knocking them down again. The brawlers struggle to rise, but they can’t seem to reach Grai. The sheer power of his forces is overwhelming.
Kouchu: with a desperate voice “We can’t stop him… He’s too strong!”
Shauna: furious “We can’t let him win! We have to fight back, no matter what!”
But even with all their strength, the brawlers can’t seem to break through. Grai’s Crystal Monsters continue to overpower them, and the dark energy surrounding the Crystal Balls only grows stronger.

Meanwhile, in a different part of the forest, Mouselette is on a new path of her own. After walking away from her friends, she’s encountered three new Crystal Monsters: Pionpunch, Kubine, and Spikefist. The trio seems to be in a similar situation, dealing with an overwhelming threat of their own.
A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.
The group of four—Mouselette, Pionpunch, Kubine, and Spikefist—are being pursued by a wild, menacing creature known as Flaming (モエル, Moeru). The creature is large, with a fiery mane and eyes glowing with an intense fury. It’s much faster than they anticipated, and soon, they find themselves running for their lives.
Mouselette: out of breath, turning to the others “We have to keep running! We can’t let it catch us!”
Pionpunch: panting “I can’t run much longer… it’s too fast!”
Kubine: looking back nervously “We can’t outrun it forever!”
Spikefist: determined “We have to fight back! We can’t just run!”
Mouselette looks around, searching for a way out. Her eyes land on a nearby hill, where a large boulder sits precariously on the edge. An idea forms in her mind, and she rushes toward the rock, urging the others to follow her.
Mouselette: yelling “I have an idea! Follow me!”
As the group reaches the boulder, Mouselette gathers her energy, her body glowing with the power of the rainbow. She raises her arms, and the light bursts forth in a wave of colors, shimmering like a beacon in the night. With a powerful burst of energy, Mouselette unleashes a rainbow-colored shockwave toward Flaming. The creature, caught off guard by the sheer force of the blast, is blown back, stunned and unable to continue its pursuit.
Flaming: roaring in pain as it stumbles backward, temporarily disoriented
The force of Mouselette’s attack is enough to send Flaming tumbling into a nearby ravine, where it struggles to regain its balance. The group watches in awe as Mouselette’s power subdues the creature.
Spikefist: in awe “That was amazing! You really saved us, Mouselette!”
Pionpunch: cheering “That was incredible! You’re like a hero!”
Kubine: smiling “I can’t believe we were so lucky to find you.”
Mouselette smiles, but there’s a faint glimmer of uncertainty in her eyes. She’s finally felt what it’s like to be admired and appreciated. But as she looks around at her new friends, she can’t help but feel a sense of pride. They look up to her, and she enjoys the feeling of being strong—something she hasn’t felt in a long time.
Mouselette: to herself, quietly “Maybe… this is where I belong. Maybe I can be someone who makes a difference here.”
Her thoughts are interrupted when Spikefist, Pionpunch, and Kubine surround her, giving her high-fives and praising her for her bravery. They’re all grinning, clearly grateful for her help. But as Mouselette absorbs their praise, a sense of doubt lingers. She can’t shake the feeling that perhaps, deep down, she’s taking the credit for something she never truly earned.
Mouselette: hesitant, quietly “Thanks… but I couldn’t have done it without you all.”
Yet, despite her attempt at humility, Mouselette still feels a sense of satisfaction in knowing that she’s been the hero of this small adventure. She looks back at her friends, the Crystal Brawlers, and wonders if they would have treated her the same way. Would they have been proud of her if she had been the one to save them?
The episode ends with Mouselette standing tall, her Crystal Monster friends surrounding her. Her bond with them grows stronger with each passing moment, but her heart is torn. Can she return to the Crystal Brawlers now? Or has her journey with these new friends opened up a new path for her to follow?
