[Summary]

With the collapse of the Tokyo Tower and the Magic Knights escape from the ruble only Fuu has injuries. She is quickly wisked away into an Ambulance and then to the hospital. Meanwhile a strange man watches from far away, the one who destroyed the Tokyo tower. As he floats in the air high above the city he speaks briefly welcoming back Nova and Emeruade. Lamont, aka the Shadow, is in his lair waiting the Tokyo tower incident when he views the stranger. He quickly makes an assumption that this stranger may be connected to his dear friend’s death.

In Cephiro Ascot muses over the past and almost bitterly about the North territories choosing him to lead in the upcoming wars he also makes a reference to illnesses plaguing his seijyuu. As Ascot meets with Ferio and Clef in Clef’s viewing room, another traveler Zazu makes his way to Cephiro while speculating that the recent sicknesses that are spreading might have a connection with Cephiro’s sudden turmoil. Geo Metro has unfortunately also fallen ill. Unbeknownst to Zazu Eagle’s sister Ariste Celeste follows his ship to Cephiro to check up on events herself. Even Caldina, like Ascot, finds the current situation depressing.

On Earth Umi and Hikaru decide, even though witnessing the tragic even and being in it, to go to the Ryuuzaki business party which was being held in her father’s and a American business partner’s , name Lamont, honor. At the same time Emeruade appears on Earth without her memory. Jubei, Lamont’s taxi driver takes him with all haste to Hotel Nippon to the business party where Lamont meets Emeraude outside the doors only to tap into her mind and experience nothing except a vision much like the one he had experienced earlier, a vision of Cephiro. Lamont Cranston brings Emeruade into Nippon where they speak of the vision suddenly understanding Emeruade begins to remember pieces of her memories, and slowly yet surely they come back to her as she discusses Cephiro with Lamont. Their conversation is broken up before Lamont learns all that much about Cephiro when they enter the party upstairs. Emeruade stops upon entering the double doors when she spots blue tresses and a blonde. Images of the Knights flood into her mind.

Chad dreams of Cephiro, his real parents, and his brother Kyle. Although Emeraude and Zol Zagato had sent the two brothers to Earth together they were separated. Kyle, meanwile, was picked up by a group called Black Lotus and Chad by a caring ex-member of Black Lotus. When he awakes Chad goes out and finds his brother being attack and dispatches the people. They become friends without Chad yet realizing that they are brothers. At the end of Crossroads 2 Ariste enters the grounds to the Crystal palace on Cephiro and Zazu knocks on the door of the viewing room. [end of Summery 2]
