Kanon Futatabi
Kanon Once More


A familiar scene plays itself out. A windy morning with 4th grade girls gathered about Kanou's limo. Kanou is among them.

Ririka is stunned, but ready to believe it.

There is something amiss, because the first person Kanou contacted upon his return was Miyuki. Seiya is skeptical and entertains that this Kanou could be a ghost, a zombie, ect; Ririka is ready to believe. After school the pair finds him amid his throng of groupies; Miyuki tells Ririka and Seiya to keep from Kanou because they're exactly why he left. Kanou contemptuously repeats the same message (can you believe he knows how to be contemptuous?) as Miyuki's flunkies see him off. Seiya is disgusted that he would say things like that to Ririka.

Ririka is watching the place where she took the walk with Kanou-senpai and Herb. Seiya considers quitting the fight if they have to work for someone like that. When Ririka gets home, Kanou calls, apologizing and explaining that Queen Earth's power healed him, and there were circumstances forcing him to act the way he did. If only Ririka could see how dark Kanou's study is, and the demonic expression on his face. He tells Ririka to come to his house alone to catch up on things. Seiya asks where she's going, but Kanou told her not to tell anyone.

Buros appears to check up on Kanou; enjoying how his words can charm Nurse Angel. Kanou's evil nature never wavers. Ririka arrives, startled by how different Kanou-senpai looks.

Seiya's playing with Herb when Ririka's grandma tells him to look out; somebody's making a move on Ririka. Seiya is curious; grandma says she's gone out to meet a boy. Seiya runs off.

Kanou assures Ririka that now that he's back, Dark Joker will be less of a problem. Seiya bursts in, making small talk about how dark it is in Kanou's house. Kanou asks about the Green Vaccine; Ririka almost tells that they're nearly out, but Seiya covers, saying that they'll be able to last a while. He tells Ririka her grandma is worried about her and cuts the meeting short. Kanou butters Ririka up a little before she leaves and Ririka gets angry at Seiya for suspecting him.

After school, Karin has a new shop for Ririka and Anna to try. Ririka is even more gung-ho than usual, they know it's because she went to Kanou-senpai's yesterday. They suspect Seiya is feeling sore because of Kanou's return. Seiya seems pretty clueless. While Ririka-tachi are on the way to Karin's new shop, Kanou sets a plan in motion to drain the last of the Green Vaccine.

A tornado sucks the trio up, Seiya hears them and teleports them out of harm's way. He notices that the tornado is following Ririka. She successfully transforms and seems to be doing fine until she does an Angel Aid Bomb Beam once the Vaccine container is totally empty. It disappears in midair. Seiya dispels the monster with his powers; Ririka is on the verge of tears now that her power source is gone.

Kanou watches from a distance, thoroughly pleased. Now Nurse Angel is nothing but a shell.
