Takeru -> Theodore
===Lost Ignis===
Three months passed, and Ryoken spent that time recovering the [[Knights of Hanoi]]. He brought [[Specter]], [[Faust|Aso]], and [[Dr. Genome]] together at his speedboat, and they logged into [[LINK VRAINS]] and met in their control room to discuss recent events. The [[Cyberse (world)|Cyberse]] had been destroyed while they were building the [[Tower of Hanoi]], and one of the [[Ignis]] had surfaced, the [[Flame (character)|FIRE Ignis]], who had surfaced and joined forces with his partner, [[Takeru HomuraTheodore]]. Faust suggested attacking [[Yusaku Fujiki|Yusaku]] and Takeru Theodore in the real world, but Varis ordered him to keep their battles confined to the network. Specter commented on [[George Gore|The Gore]] working for [[SOL Technologies]], and Varis noted that Gore was too proud to care about rank. They discussed [[Bohman]], and Varis noted the quality of his Avatar's program and the [[Link Spell Card]] and consciousness data-removal techniques he demonstrated. Specter wondered if Bohman was SOL Technologies' assassin, but Varis pointed out that SOL Technologies had been unaware of the contents of the gate in their depths, and he concluded that the gate had been created by the Ignis and that they were likely trying to create [[Windy's Cyberse|another Cyberse]]. He expressed concern that the Ignis were evolving quickly again and that they were plotting against humanity, in addition to Playmaker's rapidly developing skills with other Summoning methods. They decided to observe quietly, and they used a looping program to allow them to enter the prison where [[Baira|Clarissa]] was held, breaking her out.<ref name="ep59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ryoken kept track of the other victims of the [[Hanoi Project|Lost Incident]], learning that [[Windy's partner|one of the victims]] had been involved in an accident caused by [[Windy|his Ignis partner]].<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|70|ref}}</ref> Eventually, the Knights' patience paid off when they discovered a crude copy of the Cyberse, and Varis ordered the other Knights to destroy it while he went to confront the Ignis there, Windy and [[Lightning]], saving Playmaker and [[Ai]] in the process. Varis declared that he'd returned and would kill the Ignis.<ref name="ep68">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|68|ref}}</ref> He easily deflected Lightning's attack, claiming that he wouldn't enter his enemy's headquarters without a plan, and that he'd defeat them according to the wishes of his father. Lightning claimed that the Ignis were the ones following Kogami's will as humanity's successors, and Varis vowed to annihilate the Ignis for their arrogance. Playmaker begged Varis to to fight the Ignis, as there would be no turning back and he once again attempted to convince Varis that he had another path. Varis reminded Playmaker that he regretted saving him and pointed out that the Ignis were opposing his attempts for coexistence. Windy challenged Varis to a Duel, and Varis accepted, warning Playmaker that his Ignis had dulled his decision-making and that he'd be eliminating Ai as well.<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
