Haru and Elie, along with the ""carrot-nosed dog"" Plue, met up with a blond female who to their surprise took refuge in a homemade home deep in the earth. This girl helped those esacpe from the evil known as Shadow Guard. Next on her list was our beggining heros! Though things weren't easy and there were hard fights for Haru, but once given the chance he rose to victory over Shuda. Now recognized as momentary escapees our heros continue to embark on their adventure!

Along the way to Punk Street, Haru encounters the Silver Rhythm Gang and it's brash leader Musica. In town, Plue makes friends with the elderly blacksmith Old Musica (no relation -- or is there?) Once Haru realizes who he is, he begs him to fix his sword. Another leader in the Shadow Guard, Lance learns of the arrival of Haru, the Rave Master, and sees this as his chance to capture the Rave Stones. Elie meets the young Musica from the Silver Rhythm Gang and thinks he's the blacksmith they've been searching for. Haru tells her that he's found the real Musica. During the discussion, they are all attacked by Bis, one of Lance's toughest and biggest goons.

While Elie is off getting her 'Tonfa Blasters' upgraded, she is taken hostage by Lance. When Musica tries to intervene, he is unsuccessful in his attempt to rescue her. Lance tells him to find the Rave Master and bring him to Lance's house. Old Musica is still having a hard time believing that Haru is actually the new Rave Master. Haru recalls the day he first met Shiba. Shiba tells Haru the history of the Rave Stones. Old Musica still refuses to work on the sword. His motives are not exactly clear. Musica finds Haru and tells him of Elie's kidnapping. Old Musica knows that Haru will need his sword in order to defeat Lance, so he agrees to fire up his furnace one last time.

Old Musica works on the Sword as an impatient Haru looks on. Musica is found outside Lance's house and manages to defeat the Shadow Guard. Inside, Lance's patience is wearing thin. Just as he is about to eliminate Elie, Musica arrives. Musica and Bis battle only to have Musica outwit the powerful, but, intellectually challenged Bis. While finishing the sword, Old Musica tells Haru of his tragic secret. This isn't the only sword that he created. He also made the sword that Lance now uses. The very sword Lance used to destroy Old Musica's entire family. The old blacksmith makes Haru promise to destroy that evil sword.

Haru and Lance rage an intense battle. Lance's Beast Sword seems too much for Haru to handle. Lance takes pleasure in the fact he's going to defeat an opponent who uses one of Old Musica's swords. After taking blow after blow, Haru finally discovers the secret to Lance's illusions. He manages to fend off most of Lance's attacks, but when Lance reveals that his sword has more than one attack method, Haru appears doomed.

Old Musica enters the fray, holding to Lance. He orders Haru to destroy them both. Haru realizes what he must do and lunges forward. But, instead of attacking Lance, Haru destroys Lance's Shadow Stone. Without the Shadow Stone, Lance and Haru battle head to head. Haru seems to gain strength as the battle continues and Lance's blows have no effect. Haru knocks Lance's Beast Sword away. Now weaponless, Lance begs for forgiveness. Haru destroys Lance's Beast Sword. Lance's men try to take on the group, but Musica fights them off.

Musica and gus gang break into a vault. While Hebi, one of the members, is in the vault, he realizes Plue is in his bag! The alarm is triggered and the police end up capturing Plue. Hebi, who was in the vault just moments earlier decides, it's his duty to get Plue back from the police. While trying to convince the police to give Plue back, Musica arrives at the station and turns himself in. Meanwhile, Haru and Ellie are having dinner with the Old Musica. Musica, Plue, and Hebi escape from their jail cells. The policemen find Plue wandering around and realizes Musica and his friend has escaped. Soon, the whole police force is out searching for Musica and the other members of the Silver Rythm Gang. Musica and his gang decides it would be best to leave town, and before they leave, Haru find out that Musica and Old Musica are related (Grandfather and Grandson). Both Musicas know, but doesn't tell the other they know so. After the Silver Rythm Gang and Musica leave town, Haru's sword gets f

Haru, Elie, and Plue find a chariot being pulled by an unusual creature with a smaller creature named Griff as the driver. The group continues north where the blacksmith Musica believes the next Rave Stone may be. After finding a spot to camp for the night, Elie takes Plue with her to a natural hot spring located just moments away from where they set up camp. At the hot spring, Elie decides to twist Plue's nose-- and that deflates him! After trying many ways (which includes pumping with air, putting in the ground, filling with water, and many more) to bring Plue back to his normal state, he is still flat. Griff mentions that a special strawberry might be the only cure. Elie takes off by herself to find the berry, and while she is searching for the berry she is attacked by a monster. The monster threatens to eat her, and then Haru shows up just in time to save Elie! Plue is given the special strawberry and returns to his original state.

As the group rides on toward Ska Village, it begins to rain very hard. Elie is affected by the sound of thunder. It seems to trigger some distant memory. When they arrive in Ska Village, they find the town decimated by the rain. The 'Thunder Man' came there five years earlier and brought the rain with him. Elie believes the Thunder Man may be a link to her past. She runs off to find him. Haru gives chase
