While scanning the countryside, Krieg chances to see Ariadne and Philip on a romantic midnight walk. Seized with
jealousy, he dives down on the couch and stabs Philip with a toxin coated blade. As the darkness begins to take ahold
of him, Philip forces Ariadne to run. She arrives back in the House and warns the others of what's happened. They
begin to prepare for the worst. Ariadne is put into the cage for her own protection. Meanwhile, Krieg approaches
the newly returned Philip Dragmire with a business proposition: Ariadne in exchange for wealth and power. Philip agrees
and easily enough bests the entire House, stealing Ariadne from the cage.
Adriana and Aden send Kazuo and Khann to track him. They follow his footprints down the road and find him dragging
Ariadne away. A confrontation erupts, at which point Krieg shows up. Philip then double crosses Krieg, electing
to keep Ariadne for himself. He manages to drag her off to Hyrule. Krieg decides that the only way he can get
Ariadne back is to team up with the Phoenix Fighters, so he strikes a bargain with Kazuo and Khann and they bring him back
to the House. After hearing out the situation, Adriana sends Krieg, along with Amorette, Tranns, and Lucien to track
Philip down and try to turn him back. The partnership is unwanted but necessary, as Krieg might be the only one who
can stop Philip and the Phoenix Fighters are the only ones with the antidote.
Philip, meanwhile, gets it in his head to travel to Hyrule to kill the child version of himself and perhaps destroy his
mother as well. Ariadne does her best to stall him, but the two eventually arrive at the estate of Philip's mother,
Kally, and her husband James. Philip gets in, claiming to be a friend of Kally's sister. Ariadne, meanwhile, introduces
herself under one of her mother's aliases, immediately getting Kally's attention. While James serves Philip tea, Kally
takes Ariadne upstairs to give her a clean change of clothing. There, Ariadne silently warns her of the danger.
Krieg and the Phoenix Fighters manage to get out of Shaldani, bickering the entire way. Amorette then uses Farore's
Wind to teleport them directly to Philip's location, which turns out to be Kally's living room. Philip jumps into action,
taking James hostage. During the stand off, Tranns slips out of the house. She runs down the road to another villa
where she meets up with Amorette's mother, Kera, and a younger, less evil version of War. She convinces the two of them
to race to the rescue.
Back in the house, Philip reveals his identity, horrifying Kally and James. Just before he can do serious harm
to James, however, Tranns and the others teleport in. A fight breaks out, leading to utter chaos. In the scuffle,
Lucien manages to inject the antidote into Philip. He collapses and the fight ends. Kally demands an explanation,
which Tranns promises to give as soon as Krieg is eliminated. Kally teleports him to Risa, much to everyone's delight.
Tranns then attempts to explain the situation. Despite her valient efforts to keep the temporal prime directive intact,
she is eventually forced to explain how she and the others come from a future that has ceased to be.
Kally is very receptive to them and even offers to let them stay the night. In the morning, everything is better
explained. Krieg returns to try and steal some of the antidote, but finds none. Tranns discovers him and threatens
him, but he tells her that they all must leave. They are no longer a part of this world.
