s01ep02 - ALWAYS TWO, THEY ARE
- In this episode, Iron Seraph is haunted by the legacy of the Jin Shen and Red Star Dervish is drawn into the mix as their friendship is reevaluated after the almost-romance of NH2.
- Called to the mansion of the Jin Shen by one of the servants (ie. one of the two that the family can afford to put on retainer) and accompanied by Dervish, Seraph is told that the heirloom sword Two Silver Saint has not only been at the Jin Shen house the entire time, but has also been stolen! While Red Star Dervish is evaluated by his aunts for her childbearing qualities, he is briefed on the gravity of the situation by Elder Uncle.
- Present at the location is also Thunder Executioner of the Heaven Sword Clan (along with her special strike team of soldiers) - and the seriousness of the situation is such that an unusual alliance is forged between family and Clan - a co-hunt for the sword!
- Dervish splits off during the hunt, following a figure that looks suspiciously like her old Six Phantoms ally Chipped Ruby! Unfortunately, it is a trap - a demonic shapechanger and a faceoff with a seemingly invulnerable tattooed demon-warrior later, she is forced to surrender into an impromptu bondage scenario as she is carried off...
- Seraph finds and fights the thief ( - the mysterious and oddly honorable demon Shattered Earth with the power of (you guessed it) the earth itself! The hunter team escapes on Seraph´s urging, and he and Thunder Executioner teams up to fight the demon. During the fight, Seraph manages to secure the Saint-blade. The fight seems to merely be a distraction, though, as Shattered Earth breaks it off to convey a message...
- Shattered Earth´s mysterious boss, the sadistic demon Bloody Sky has captured Dervish, and forces Seraph to show up for a showdown at a remote temple...
- As Seraph fights the seemingly invulnerable demon, Bloody Sky´s true plan becomes apparent - the "invulnerable" Shou Zhong is really merely the container for Two SIlver Saint´s twin weapon, the notorious sword Harmonious Brass Petal! As Seraph kills the dempn, the devil-blade is freed... and into the hands of Bloody Sky! The demon gloats, and disappears.
- Seraph and the freed Dervish emerges from the temple and returns to the Jin Shen home, where Elder Uncle refuses to accept Two Silver Saint from Seraph, entrusting it into the young swordsman´s care.
