It was track and field day at Okumura Daifuzoku Junior High School. The girls were getting ready to run the one hundred meter dash. Kotone and Akane, the two fastest girls, were at the starting line. They looked at each other.

"Where's Anzu?" asked Akane. "She should be here."

Kotone just shrugged.

The starting pistol fired and the runners sprinted from the starting line. There was an orangish-yellow blur shot passed all the runners. The girls screamed and stopped. Standing in front of them was a girl wearing an orangish-yellow tank top and short shorts. Her boots came up over her knees and there was a garter belt on her left thigh. She had rounded animal ears poking out of her orangish blonde hair that was tied back in a ponytail with a ribbon and a spotted tail that flicked behind her. Her golden eyes were bright and she wore a sneer on her face.

"Who is that?" asked one girl.

"Is that a new Mew Mew?" asked another.

The strange cat-girl held out her hand and a ball of light formed. It took the shape of a pistol with a ribbon tied around it and the girl twirled it in her hand. She then pointed it at Kotone and Akane. The two of them backed away with horrified looks.

"Apricot Blast!" said the girl and fired her pistol. The pistol fired twice.


Inside the gymnasium, the gymnastics club was holding a meet.

Appearing in the middle of the floor was a girl wearing a orangish pink leotard and a miniskirt pulled over top. She had a garter belt in the same color on her left leg and her boots came up to her knees. Poking out of her orangish blonde hair that was pulled in a french braid were a pair of pointed animal ears. Behind her flicked a long spotted tail.

"Who are you?" demanded the coach, annoyed that someone crashed their meet.

The girl leapt into the air and landed on the beam. A ball of light formed in her hand. It took the shape of a folding fan. The girl opened it to reveal the kanji for peach.

"Peach Blossom Storm!" she cried, swinging her fan. There was a bright burst of light and peach blossom petals flew everywhere.


Ryou was sitting in stunned silence as a news report said that two Mew Mews attacked the Okumura Daifuzoku Junior High School. The report stated that two similar looking Mews attacked the students without any provocation. Ryou knew it wasn't any of the Mew Mews. They were all working at the café today.

Ryou got up and went to the door. "Keiichiro! Come take a look at this."

Keiichiro came back from the kitchen. "What is it?" he asked.

"Take a look at this," said Ryou, turning up the news report.

"Two new Mews?" asked Keiichiro. "It can't be. We haven't tried to create any more since Berry."

"But someone has," said Ryou.

"I'll get the girls," said Keiichiro. "This is going to be a nightmare."

Ryou nodded.

The Mews came in and Ryou showed them the news report.

"You say one of us did this?" asked Berry.

"Who would do such a thing?" asked Pudding.

"I don't know, girls," said Keiichiro. "But we have to find out."

"Right!" said Ichigo. "We'll check out the school and see if we can find out who those two were."

"I know some people there," said Lettuce.

"That's right," said Mint. "You used to go to school there."

"We better hurry," said Zakuro.

The six girls went to the Okumura Daifuzoku Junior High School. They quickly learned that some students were targeted. No one was severely injured, just enough to be sent to the hospital to get checked out.

The Mews all got the same reports. Two girls attacked them, one on the track field and the other in the gymnasium. They never said anything except for shouting out their attacks. One girl had a pistol weapon and the other had a folding fan.

The girls later regrouped and went over what they knew.

"So we have two girls masquerading as Mews," said Mint, putting a finger to her chin in thought.

"They could be aliens," said Lettuce.

"Let's check back with Ryou and Keiichiro," said Berry. "Let them know what we found."

The six of them walked back to the café.


In the basement lab, Ryou and Keiichiro were going over the news reports.

"This is very bad," said Keiichiro with a shake of his head. "The public loves the Mew Mews. This will seriously hurt them. If they are needed again, the public won't trust them."

"I think the public's opinion is the least of our problems," said Ryou. He looked up from the television screens to Keiichiro. "This is familiar, isn't it?"

Keiichiro thought for a moment. He gasped. "Not him."

"I don't know if it's him or not, but if it is, we have to stop him before he hurts someone else," said Ryou.

The Mew Mews returned to the café and reported to Keiichiro and Ryou.

"What should we do now?" asked Berry after they finished telling them.

"For now, the only thing we can do is monitor what is going on," said Ryou. "You probably will have to fight them in the future."

"But they are our kind," argued Ichigo.

"How can we fight our friends?" asked Pudding.

"Right now, it doesn't appear that they are our friends," said Ryou.

"Ryou, you're cold," snapped Ichigo.

"Easy, Ichigo," said Lettuce. "They may be like me. Remember I hurt people because I was scared and confused about what was happening? They may be doing the same thing, only focusing on certain people."

"Hopefully this was a once and done deal," said Zakuro. "They got their revenge or whatever. Maybe they'll settle down and we won't hear from them again."

"Zakuro's right," said Mint.

"What are the chances that won't happen?" asked Ichigo.

"Ichigo has a point," said Keiichiro. "These two may come back and hurt someone else. This attack was probably the most predictable. The next will be more random."

"For now, all we can do is sit and wait," said Ryou. "Go home, girls."

The Mews looked at each other before leaving the café for the day.


At an undisclosed location, Anzu and Momo were testing out their new abilities.

"Very good, girls," said Dr. Kurogumo. "You are doing very well. Soon you'll be ready for your next mission."

Both girls looked at him with darkened eyes. Attached to the napes of their necks was a black spider, hidden beneath their hair.
