Recap
From the wiki page Lenard:
In Japan, Lenard took on the Kemono potion, becoming human, while Soren took the age elixir becoming a young boy again.
In Soren’s reality, young Soren ventured in the snowy Mount Fuji, following a letter from Lenard who had captured Maiden 4. From under the snow then Lenard drew the cannon of his Bat-Mech (but the lever broke) and began firing. However, Centurion protected Soren on time and when the Bat-Mech emerged and began firing, the titan kept taking the hits with no damage and advancing. Intimidated with Centurion towering in front of him, Lenard dropped Maiden 4 and ran away, flying in jet form - however, Centurion simply threw a huge rock at him. Panicked, he began fidgeting with controls, but the shoddy mech just broke and the rock terminated him, with Maiden 4 waking up in the end next to Soren.
In Lenard’s canon reality, Lenard was revising his schematics for the Bat-Mech, and despairing out loud about how Centurion was indestructible due to being made of Adamantium. Cyrus found however Adamantium on Crabmazon, and the bat began building his mech. Upon seeing it, only Stitch was impressed, while Cyrus commented they were fucking dead. Later then the mecha fighting began, with “Lenard” daring Centurion who tore his opponent’s arm and punched his chest, seemingly going through it. The mech then enveloped the whole area in darkness, and used it to scratch Centurion by surprise, who then was commanded by Soren to fly outside of the darkness area of effect (as someone approached). Centurion did so, but the Bat-Mech jumped and landed on his back, and pierced one of his jets with his own adamantium claws, creating a huge explosion that threw both into the snow below. As Centurion showed to be still undamaged and ready to destroy his opponent, Lenard then appeared where Soren was aiming a gun at him and demanding for him to quit the match. It would later be explained the Bat-Mech was actually being piloted by Cyrus or rather a shadow of Cyrus made by Z. Lenard then spoke in the phone with Stitch, commenting the plan had worked and then wondering what was ichigai even about as he had not put any thought on it.
Lenard made a dealing with Z after this, and the shadow gambling destroyed the Freakers, which he was spying using the R.Ant, his son. Lenard then recruited Z as intended hoping to secure a victory for his team.

After the round ended, Soren thanked Cassidy for helping in the repairs of Centurion. She invited him to a party Brat Pack was doing along with other teams, but Soren noted he had other plans. Lying on Centurion then alone, Soren noted how he missed his love interest Taki whom he could discuss anything with and how deep down he knew they would not be returning home. He decided then to forget about her and threw her picture, which was found by a shocked Maiden 4. Later as he baked the cake for Maiden 4’s birthday, Soren detected Sack attempting to hack his watch, and got in contact with Kome, who invited him to their party as well. Conflicted about what to do, he noted he was jealous of Centurion for not having to make such choices, and as both girls waited for him he got in his car and began driving.
In the end, he arrived to the party, where he and Kome conversed. Kome revealed her wish for ultimate power, which he noted amused was a bit selfish and was worse than finding common ground, but she noted the fight for victory was how society worked. She wondered why he wouldn’t use Centurion to impose his power more, and he noted that if he did, more enemies would be after him. Goading him to be harsher with opponents, Soren noted that at least there was some truth to her arguments as he had lost the previous round against Lenard. He had then to leave for the birthday, and she noted with a smile at the end of the tournament he would have to accept her superiority - and as a final gift, held his hand and teleported him to Maiden 4. When he arrived, Maiden 4 had a cute outfit given to her by Pauline and they had a private party, where she thanked him for taking care of Centurion whom she considered a brother and for doing his best. More motivated, Soren said he would not fail, and she noted she had met others as determined as him who had, and that she had made peace with the idea that they could be trapped in the Bucket forever once again. Maiden 4 changed then her form to that of Taki, Soren’s love interest from his world, in order to better help him adapt, as a way to apologize for her failure bringing him there, but he noted as well that it had been him taking her watch years ago and having Centurion which kickstarted their predicaments. Saying they were both even then, they held hands as the candlelight extinguished and THEY FUCKED, THEY ABSOLUTELY FUCKED.
Before the final round began then, Maiden 4 gave Soren a piece of Element F, the last component needed to truly activate Centurion which she had been holding out to for years. Centurion then became fully operational as a god-killing machine.
