Back at Mendiola (for the last time)…
THE BOSS BATTLE CONTINUES!
Allies: The ones who you enlisted into the Fending Off Party
Enemy: Malice Hope Centeno (HP: ????)
Matthew Luke chooses to use a Sharp Stone on all allies. All allies’ ATK increased by 47.
Hyacinth chooses to use a Barrier Stone on all allies. All allies’ DEF increased by 46.
Batista chooses to cast Batista Bomb on Malice Hope Centeno. That attack deals 2013 damage to Malice Hope Centeno.

Malice Hope Centeno chooses to cast Wanhope on all allies.
Malice Hope Centeno: ANG TANGI KONG PAG-ASA… AY ANG PAGWASAK SA MGA SUMISIRA SA AKIN!
With the combination of hope and despair in the darkest regions of her heart, Malice Hope Centeno unleashes all of her pain and suffering onto the opponents. That attack deals 9999 damage to each ally. All allies are KO’d.
BATTLE ENDED.
The Fending Off Party is badly battered in this endurance battle, even with the Blessed Beings and other transformations in effect (which are now nullified). This is just a testament to Hope’s overwhelming hatred for Kris given form.
Hope: HA HA HA! TALAGANG WALA KAYONG IBUBUGA, MGA KAKUNTSABA NG UBER-MALDITANG SI KRIS! NGAYON, AKO NA ANG MAGSASALBA SA PILIPINAS, BUKOD KAY PAPA JAMES, MULA SA KASAMAAN NIYA!
Hyacinth: D-Dahil sa ipinakita mong… kapangyarihan… urgh… talagang nakakasama ka sa kalusugan… ng bayan…
Matthew Luke: Argh… para kang… isang brand ng sigarilyo…
Suddenly, Hope is interrupted by a thrown shield and baton.
From a tall building, still in Mendiola, stand the woman and the man who have been given the transformation belts by Tony Boy and the rest of the TV5 management.
Toni Gonzaga and Sam Milby.
Matthew Luke: Sam…
Hyacinth: Toni…
Matthew Luke & Hyacinth: (smiling) Shinake n’yo na kami!
After silently nodding to each other, Toni and Sam prepare their belts (which are called the Maximillian Belts) and press their hands against the “knuckles” that are parts of those belts.
Maximillian Belts’ computer voices: READY.
While Toni aims her knuckle to her front, and Sam does the same, only to his right; they both shout…
Toni & Sam: Maximillian Knights, suit up!
They then insert their knuckles into their belts, and then…
Maximillian Belts’ computer voices: FIST ON.
The emblems of the Maximillian Knights, which are embedded in the belts, both glow and transform into suits of armor that fortify both Toni and Sam.
Toni & Sam: The justice that you took away from the people… shall be given back to them! We are… THE PINOY MAXIMILLIAN KNIGHTS!
At Balay Kapatiran…
Mr. Tulfo: So iyan ang sinasabing “ultimate act of penance” ni Tony Boy. Nakakamangha na may mga tokusatsu fan na nasa loob ng bagong pamamahala, bukod pa sa mga otaku.
Ogie: (as Gosh Abelgosh) Hindi inaasahan ng mga Kapamilya natin na sina Sam at Toni ang magiging Pinoy version ng tinaguriang “Maximillian Knights”.
Boy: Mr. Tony Boy, salamat sa iyo. Meron na naman tayong mga bagong kaalyado na susupil sa mga maiitim na balak ni Kris. Hinihintay ko na lang ang araw na talagang titino siya.
And the now-armored love team descends from the building and faces the dastardly creature.
Toni prepares her baton; Sam prepares his shield. With the aura of a certain masked warrior who seeks and eliminates demonic fanged creatures, they charge towards Hope, and…
A BOSS BATTLE COMMENCES!
Allies: Toni, Sam
Enemy: Malice Hope Centeno (HP: ????)
Hope: SISIPSIPIN KO ANG ENERHIYA NG PAG-ASA MULA SA INYONG LAHAT! KAHIT NA NAG-PALIT-ANYO KAYO, MAWAWALAN KAYO NG LAKAS TULAD NG MGA KAMPONG IYON NI KRIS!
Sam: We beg to differ. We think positive.
Toni: Hindi kami aayaw.
Fending Off Party: THINK POSITIVE! HUWAG KAYONG AAYAW! THINK POSITIVE! HUWAG KAYONG AAYAW!
Hope: GINAGAYA N’YO PA ANG COMMERCIAL NG ISANG MULTIVITAMIN BRAND, HA? TIKMAN N’YO ITO!
Malice Hope Centeno chooses to cast Wanhope on all allies. That attack deals 0 damage to each ally.
Hope: ANO?! HINDI TUMABLA ANG ATAKE KO?!
Toni: Ngayon… kami naman! Ready, Sam?
Sam: Ready when you are.
The Pinoy Maximillian Knights prepare to perform their finishing moves.
Toni: It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine Assault… Nibelung Valesti!
Toni performs her Purify Weird Soul (or Soul Crush), Nibelung Valesti. That attack deals 13 hits and 19123 damage to Malice Hope Centeno.
Sam: Feel the shield of justice! Finishing Strike… Final Justice!
Sam performs his Purify Weird Soul (or Soul Crush), Final Justice. That attack deals 13 hits and 16129 damage to Malice Hope Centeno.
Sam: But I’m still not through with you yet!
With a quick response, Sam successfully triggers an extension.
Sam: The star of justice always shines bright! Hyper… Charging Star!
Sam performs his Purify Weird Soul (or Soul Crush) Extension, Hyper Charging Star. That attack deals 8 hits and 15683 damage to Malice Hope Centeno.
Hope: GAWRRGGGGHHHH! IMPOSIBLE! PAANO AKO NATALO?! MGA KAMPON TALAGA KAYO NI KRIS… WALA KAYONG KABUTIHANG MAIDUDULOT SA BUONG PILIPINAS… MAGKIKITA-KITA TAYONG LAHAT SA IMPYERNO! GGGGRRRRRWWWWWAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
And before the boss explodes, a flash of light can be seen, showing the kind and gentle side of Hope.
Hope’s gentle side: Sorry sa inyong lahat… lumaki tuloy ang isang maliit na isyu, kaya nadamay ang buong Pilipinas dahil sa aking kapabayaan… Patawarin n’yo sana ako, si James, si Joey, at lalong-lalo na si Kris… dahil pinabayaan naming mamuo ang selos at pagnanasa sa aming mga puso… Hindi pa nakatulong ang gayumang kristal na ibinigay kay Joey ng isang di-kilalang tao… Kaya kayo… mga mandirigma ng tunay at wagas na pag-ibig… itama ang napakalaking anomalyang bumabalot sa bansang ito… bago pa mahuli ang lahat…
The statement is finished, and the boss explodes, leaving no trace of the envious jealousy that fueled her rampage.
BATTLE WON!
Hope is finally defeated, and both the Fending Off Party and the Pinoy Maximillian Knights breathe sighs of relief after a long and exhausting battle. When suddenly…
A hologram of Kris appears before them.
Kris: I sincerely congratulate you all for eliminating my one and only archrival in love! Aha aha aha! Ngayon, mas magiging madali ang pagpaplano sa aking ultimate goal: ang pagbuo sa Aquino-Yap Empire! Where the color yellow and the “Laban” sign are the new official symbols of this country!
Matthew Luke: Grah! Gagamitin mo pa ang pangalan ng ina mo! Para na itong “cooking ng ina mo”!
Hyacinth: Alam namin ni Matt na walang perpektong pangulo, pero ang gamitin ang pangalan ng isang pangulo sa isang walang-kabuluhang balak ay katumbas ng pagyurak sa dangal niya!
Kris: Dahil ang aking ina ay 100% honest-to-goodness, hindi kagaya ng pangulo na ang apelyido ay ka-rhyme ng “arrovo”! Mawawasak ang Malacanang, at ang aking kastilyo naman ang magiging bagong tirahan ng bagong lider ng bansa! At siya ang magiging bagong First Gentleman!
Kris then conjures an image of James getting tied up in a chair. He is placed in the same room where her version of the Crystal Altar resides.
Sam: This… this is sacrilegious!
Toni: Kris… akala kong… magiging magkaka-alyado pa rin tayo pagkatapos ng Korina’s Hairbrush Adventure! Pero bilang isang tunay na Kapamilya… patitinuin kita alang-alang sa bansa natin. Ito ang tungkulin ng Pinoy Maximillan Knights… at ng Nueva Liga Filipina!
Matthew Luke & Hyacinth: Siyempre, kayong dalawa ay Stars of Destiny katulad namin.
Toni & Sam: (facing the childhood friends) Thank you, esteemed leaders.
Kris: Mga hunghang! Kung gusto ninyong tikman ang kapangyarihan ng Goddess of All Dark Magic, pumunta kayo sa kastilyo ko, na dating Metropolitan Theater, on Valentine’s Day. See you there… bogus heroes! Aha aha aha! (disappears)
Therefore… just when Saint Valentine’s Day is around the corner, a different game of love will spark. How will the Nueva Liga Filipina, with the inclusion of the Pinoy Maximillian Knights in its roster, play this to the very end?
Meanwhile… somewhere in another dimension…
Young man: Hmm… saang mundo ang susunod na pupuntahan natin?
Elderly man: Tinatanong pa ba iyan?
Young woman: Dahil napakaraming dimensyon at napakaraming mundo ang pwedeng lakbayin natin, swertihan na lang ito.
Elderly man: Sige. Baka nasa akin pa rin ang swerte.
The elderly man pulls up a chain rope, and out comes a banner with a white background and a logo that seems strangely familiar to viewers who believe in breaking the fourth wall.
Young man: Pilipinas? Mukhang maaaliw ako doon… Tutal, hindi lang ang Rider War ang magaganap, kung tama yung kumag na gusto akong ipapatay… kundi isa pang digmaan…
