Special Mission 13: A Surprising Day Off

"Yoko-chan," Hanna knocks softly on the door of her quarters one early morning, "C-Can I bother you for a favor?"

Yoko, pauses as she opens the door in just her shorts and top, having not slipped her Buster's jacket on yet, her eyes glancing down at her Morphin Brace anxiously but she answers with a warm smile, "It's not another transfusion is it Hanna-chan?"

"N-No," Hanna laughs nervously, flustering her words, "I-I was actually hoping you might be able to give me a hair cut..."

"Nani?"

"It's alright," Hanna laughs nervously as she turns to scamper off.

"You need to be more confident!" Yoko however grabs her arm and put a halt to that, pulling Hanna into her quarters and sitting her on the bed "Now where's this hair of yours."

Turning her back to Yoko the back of Ladybugs helmet/head and a seal down the neck to mid back open, a tangled next of tangled, fragile, split, and all around terrible brown hair that falls to her mid back spills out. As Yoko tries to brush aside the mess she catches a glimpse of the wither, pale, shivering flesh beneath before the suit seals back up save for the portion around the scalp.

"Ah mou!" Yoko signs exasperated, as she once again glances at her brace anxiously, "What have you been treating this mess with? Motor oil?"

Hanna laughs nervously, "Whatever we could scrounge up. Over the last 13 years Ladybug has done what she could from keeping us from drowning in hair but there is only so much that can be done in Sub Space."

Yoko paused, she had almost forgotten that while she spent the last 13 years training for the day she could defeat Messiah and save her parents Hanna had been trying to survive in that horrible place. It was a wonder she had any hair at all.

"C-Can you do something with it?"

"Ah mou," Yoko huffed as she ran her fingers though the tangled mess "I'll try but It will probably have to be very short."

"That's fine," Hanna says softly as Yoko pulls her though the halls, "I-I just wanted to free up some space inside Ladybug."

Slipping into the bath house area, which was currently empty, and over to the bath proper, "Need to wash it first, Ladybug is waterproof yes?"

"I am, do not worry, this unit is hermetically sealed and protected against not just water but snow, sand, radiation and nothing else that could do damage to my charge within."

Yoko smiles as she pours some water over Hanna's head, and trying to straighten out the tangles.

"Yoko-chan," Hanna says softly, "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've been."

"Don't worry, don't worry," She smiles, though er eyes do dart back to her Morphin' Brace from time to time as she works, "You're my special friend after all, I need to take care of you! Besides without you we might have lost Angie's special memories."

"I didn't do anything special," Hanna sighs, "in fact if I hadn't shown up you might not have going ambushed by that Metaroid in the first place."

"That's nonsense!" Yoko smiles, "You saved us."

"Only after I put you in danger in the first place by insisting on that transfusion. I'm just a burden...to you, to Jin-sempai, to Ladybug, everyone," Hanna sighs, "Things would have been better for everyone if Jin-senpai had just let me die in sub space."

"Don't talk like that!" Yoko counters firmly, "You're life has meaning, you should never think like that!"

"I-I guess," Hanna sighs unconvinced.

N.C. 2012. The massive energy source, Enetron, is the foundation of city functions. After it are the Vaglass, a threat to humanity. The Go-Busters are youths entrusted with special missions to fight and protect the people.

Busters ready, Goooooooo!

"I'm here! I'm here!" Hanna calls as she jobs over to where the Ryuji and Hiromu (who were in their civilian clothes for once), Gorisaki, Usada, and Nick were waiting, next to a Poster Brilliant Board, her new short cut hair bouncing with every step. "S-Sorry I'm late! Ladybug was running some diagnostics and they ran long!"

Tilting their heads curiously Busters and Buddies circled Hanna curiously.

"Is that a wig?" Hiromu said bluntly, "What's the point when you have your disguise system?"

"It's not a wig," Hanna huffs, "This is my real hair!"

"Yoko-chan cut it for us this morning so it wasn't clogging up my internal systems. It's also a safe entry point to start re-acclimating Master Hanna to earth's environment. The Master will never be able to leave my protective womb if their body is still atrophied and sun parched but I can not just start opening systems at random to begin acclimatization. However with our new hairstyle there is a easy point for initial contact."

"How long is that going to take?" Nick asks curiously, "Hiromu is dying to see what you look like under there."

"Nick!"

Hanna chuckles, but it soon fades to a sign, "Months at the bare minimum. 13 years without sun, without exercise, without food has withered my body to skin a bone," a small chuckle escaping as she reminisces, "funny considering how when Jin-Sempai found me I was actually a bit on the overweight side, now I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum. Word of advice if you want to loose weight the Sub Space diet is NOT the way to go."

"It's nice to hear Hanna-chan making jokes," Yoko chuckled as she emerged from one of the posters, "Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Hiromu nodded and then looked curious to Yoko who was dressed in a yellow sweater and white dress, with her hair draw into a pony tail.

"You're late," Ryuji noted disapprovingly.

"Mou!" Usada admonished, "You're the one who wanted us to meet up, Yoooooko!"

"Sorry!"

"Hey what's with that outfit?" Hiromu presses as Nick scurries over to shut his mouth before he says something he'll regret.

"Yoko! You look even more fashionable than usual."

Yoko smile, laughing as she rests her hands on her hips a moment.

"So why did you want us to meet up in our civilian clothes?" Ryuji wonders.

Yoko continues to smile as she steps in front of them and puts on her serious face, "Special Mission:"

Like the professionals they were Hiromu, Ryuji, Usada, Nick, and Gorisaki all stood at attention, while Hanna took an extra moment to get there, summoning her human guise in the process.

"To spend the whole day on a surprise tour!" She spun around with a smile.

"Surprise Tour?!" Everyone echoed in engrish except Hanna who said it perfectly.

"Wahhhh?" Gorisaki gasps as he notices the Elephant exhibit of the zoo, "How cute! That's nice!" before turning to head for another exhibit, "There's something that way too!"

"Surprise eh?" Hiromu smile along with the others as Gorisaki runs past, "he definitely looks pleased..." but something was bothering him, "…but should all of us be out like this?"

"I got permission to go out," Yoko bounces.

"But the Vaglass..."

"It's okay every once in a while," Ryuji assures Hiromu.

"Besides if the Vaglass show up my sensors will alert us," Ladybug inserts.

"Ah mou!" Yoko pouts as she gently shakes Ladybug, "You're supposed to be relaxing Hanna-chan! Ladybug-chan!"

"A nurse must never ignore the safety of her patient, she must remain ever vigilant until the patient makes a full recovery," Ladybug counters determinedly.

Hiromi and Ryuji chuckle.

"We'll just have to take Ladybug-chan here again once her duty is resolved."

"Ah mou," Yoko pouts, before gently shaking Ladybug again, "Hanna-chan you're having fun right?"

"Yeah," though there is a hint of disappointment in her voice, "I just wish I could experience it as myself.

"In time Master Hanna, in time."

"If you need more transfusions I am also O type," Ryuji offers.

Ladybug shakes her head defiantly, "more transfusions won't be necessary, just the one from Yoko will do, Master Hanna was never in dire need of blood to begin with, it was more the first step into reintroducing healthy cells, and kick starting Master Hanna's recovery...though now that you mention it the Masters should be banking their blood every 8 weeks, in the event of a sever injury in the field having a bank of your own blood to draw from could be a life saver, especially for O types like Masters Ryuji and Yoko-chan who can only take blood from another O-Type which is relatively rare."

"But we call all be weakened like Yoko was last week," Hiromu warns.

Ryuji strokes his chin in thought, "We wouldn't have to if we did it right after a major attack by Enter, it's going to take him a few days, minimum, to prepare his next plan, more then enough time to cover the post donation recovery period."

"Ah mou, enough business talk! Were supposed to be having fun!" Yoko pouts.

"So Yoko-chan," Ryuji smiles as he follows after Gorisaki who was already looking at another exhibit, and getting a few odd loods from the others patrons, "you mentioned a place that would please Gorisaki. This is it, isn't it?"

"Yup!" Yoko bounces over, her note pad in hand, "This is surprise number one! It's a big success!"

"Hey!" Usada groans from a bench next to Nick, "This tour is all for Gorisaki's sake?! Then I want to go home!"

"Hey!" Nick taps Usada annoyed as Yoko bounces over to them with a smile.

"It's alright! I also picked a place that you want to go, Usada."

"Well then!" Usada perks up, "You should have said that sooner!"

"What about me? Me?" Nick bounces excitedly.

Yoko nods, "I even found out about where Nick wants to go...from Hiromu."

"Eh?" Hiromu pauses distracted as the two bounce over to him, "Oh."

"Why the long pause?!" Nick accuses, "Ah! I bet you gave her a bogus location to stop her from bugging you!"

"No such thing! It's fine!"

"Oh god!" Nick frets, "So it's just our surprises that are ruined?"

"Don't decide that beforehand!"

"Now, now." Ryuji offers as her pats both their sounders in confort, "Since we're here, let's not fight."

"That's right." Yoko confirms, "We've got to service the Hanna and the Buddyroids today."

"Eh? Me?"

Yoko just smiles wider, "That's just one of the surprises!"

"Ryuji!" Gorisaki calls, interrupting the conversation and drawing the gang his way, "There's a gorilla! A gorilla!"

"Eh?" Nick says curiously, "Let's see."

"Come on, let's continue the tour!" Yoko bounces as she gently pushes the boys forward, Hanna moving in step to catch up. "We're burning daylight!"

"Something wrong Master Hanna," Ladybug says softly. "Your brain way activity is elevated as is your heart rate."

"W-Wrong," Hanna responds distantly, "N-No, just a feeling..."

"Like before?"

Hanna nods, "Ben having them since we came back to earth, probably just echos of a familiar world."

"That's good, one of them may spark a memory!"

"Maybe..." Hanna answers uneasily.

"Enter." Messiah spoke darkly to his agent inside hi s communication point, "Have you found the piece of me? Work on the new Megazord that will let me return to that world and rule it means nothing if I am not whole!"

"Oui oui oui, Majesté," Enter answers confidently. "I was following up a lead as we speak, but what of the Megazord. I went out of my way to retrieve the crystals from the source and transported quite a bit of Enetron to you. Deducting the amount needed to sustain your Majesté, it is still a lot-"

"It is not enough! Not enough to create a new being!"

"Does creating them really need-"

"Just shut up and work," Messiah cuts in irritated. "do as I command."

"Oui. Majesté." Enter signs as he closes the connection with a sigh, "'shut up and work,' D'acc! Very well! A new Megazord is needed after all...even if Majesté is too distracted to realize it."

Pausing Enter looks out over the city toward a Enetron tower reflectivity, "If only the Go-Busters stayed out of the way..."

In a back area of an amusement part a pair of performs are sitting, practicing on their tubas as a man in a panda costume dances around on the walkway behind them.

"Booon! Bonjour!" Enters sings, getting them men's attention and summoning a large contingent of Buglers to grab the tubas and scare off the men as he removes the panda head.

"Monsieur," he says calmly as a bugger rises one of the tuba toward him and he attaches the Metavirus card, "Let me borrow these. Merci."

"Let's start with one," Enter smiles as he pulls forth 2 cards and his laptop, "Metavirus: Hoeru. Install."

"Tuuuuu-ba-ro-i-da"

"Tuuuuu-ba-ro-i-da"

"Tuuuuu-ba-ro-i-da"

"Now then," Enter leans in close to his new creation, "What I want you to do is..."

"Surprise Tour number two!" Yoko smiles as she stands before the entrance to the amusement park. "Amusement park!"

"That's my Yoko," Usada waves his arms excitedly, "She knows Usada well!"

"For Usada this place is pretty cute," Hiromu muses.

"Hey, leave me alone!" Usada counters defensively, "I want to ride something that I don't have to drive!"

"That's true." Gorisaki notes as everyone one else make small nods and bows just as their Morphin' Braces alert them along with Ladybug, "oh."

"Unusual Enetron usage," they say together, as Usada and Yoko wail upset.

"Somewhere toward the Rouma district." Ladybug elaborates.

"Point L-004," Toru specifies, "Nice job by the way Ladybug-san."

"L-004?" Gorisaki worries just before a number of people begin to scream.

"It's here," Hiromu yells as he pulls out his Buster harness and with Ryuji charge toward the screaming.

"I've detected an enemy Megazord being transported, It's type Alpha." Miho further explains.

"I'm calculating the time needed for it to complete it's transport," she and Ladybug say together.

Mysteriously the Commander isn't there to coordinate both sides.

"Mou! Why now?!"

"Yeah, really!" Usada echoes Yoko's frustration as he handed her her harness.

"Hey!" Nick grabs Usada and drags him along,"You're coming too!"

"No way! Usada too?!"

"Now sing out loud!" As the Buglers rampage Tubaroid marches, a contingent of Buglers marching and drumming in step, "join me in this fanfare!"

Arriving on the scene the Buster confront Tubaroid, who is surprised to find them there, "So you're here, Go-Busters?! You guys are early."

"We happened to be here," Hiromu answers casually as he readies his Morphin' Brace.

"It's Morphin Time!"

"Let's Morphin'!"

"Red Buster!"

"Blue Buster!"

"Yellow Buster!"

"Lady Buster!"

"Busters! Readyyyyy!"

"Go!"

"We'll evacuate the people," Nick calls out turning to Gorisaki and Usada.

"Okay!"

"Roger rabbit!"

As the busters engaged the Budyroids hurried into the park, helping fallen children and leading the panicked people to safety.

"Are you sure you can keep up," Hiromu cautious Ladybuster, "Last time."

"We're here, we can't just run, we we have to make the best of it."

"This beautiful fanfare!" Tuba sings, drawing the Buster's attention, "Boe~"

However moving quickly the busters all dodge out of the way of the sonic cone and continue to engage the Buglers.

"I have the ETA," Ladybug announces just seconds ahead of Miho via the Morphin Braces, "The enemy Megazord will complete its transport in..."

"Approximately 3 minutes," Ladybug explains.

"Exactly 2 minutes 30 seconds."

"That's too fast!" Yellow shouts into her com.

"Plus the commander is out and hasn't returned," Toru says with concern. "Even the emergency calls aren't reaching him."

"This is all too familiar," Hanna whispers under her breath.

"What's that mean?" Yoko calls out frustrated.

"I doubt the commander is also out for fun..." Blue notes.

"For now, we'll have to do it by ourselves," Red finishes, "Nick!"

"Okay!"

As Nick charges in in bike mode Red makes his way over to Blue, "Nick and I will take care of the enemy Megazord."

"Please do."

"Hey!" Tubaroid calls after the feeling duo, "Stop right there! You still need to hear my fanfare!"

Only to be blind sided by some pot shots from the remaining Busters.

"Your opponents are over here," Blue and Lady say eerily in sync.

"Boe~"

"CB-01, launch!" Red calls as the hanger crew launch his buster machine and Tubaroid continues his attack on Yellow, Blue, and Lady, the trio doing their best to use the furniture in the area and athletics to avoid contact with the attack wave.

"Boe~"

"What's the deal with his trumpet," Yellow groans.

"To be precise..." Blue begins.

"...it's a Tuba," Hanna finishes, "strangely though..."

"It's not causing any damage," they say together.

"You guys!" Tubaroid calls out, "Come out and listen to the fanfare!" Before firing missiles at the Rangers and forcing them to dive for new cover. "Sing along with your screams!"

"Boe~"

"I don't have the time!" Yellow growls as she summons her blade, and charges in savagely, "die already!"

"She's pretty energetic today," Blue looks over to Lady jokingly.

"Ten seconds until the enemy Megazord teleports," Miho "warns as she begins the count down and Red and Nick board CB-01 a transport ring forming in the sky.

"Here it comes," Nick muses, "shall we greet it?

Transforming into Buster Ace as the Megazord starts to land Ace delivers a savage slash with his sword before the Enemy Megazord even knows what's happening and the fight begins in earnest. Ace using his thrusters to dodge the sonic blasts of the Megazord until one one of the Enetron Tanks is in perfect line of sight of the enemy.

"I won't allow it!" Red shouts as Ace moves to block.

The blast knocks the sword out of Ace's hand and hits the tank ireguardless.

"Damn," He quickly opens coms back to back as he prepares to counter attack, "Morishita-san, any Tank Damage?!"

"There isn't any. The Tank's Fine."

"All of our circuits are working normally," Nick laughs, "Haha, looks like all its sound attacks are useless."

"Yeah," Red says relived, "Let's quickly finish it."

"Okay!"

Charging in, and transporting in a new Buster Sword Ace goes to fish the fight, powering through the useless sonic blasts now.

"Ryu-san, Hanna-chan," Yellow orders, "Let's do a simultaneous attack."

"Roger!" Blue confirms as he takes a ready stance.

"Why does this feel familiar?" Hanna whispers as she does the same.

"It could be your power," Ladybug offers, "a natural heuristic algorithm that let's you estimate enemy attacks like a phone guesses the next word in a text."

"Not isn't the time," Blue cuts in, "Busters readddddddy?"

"GO!"

"Fanfare," the trio charge in as Tubaroid counters "Boe~"

At first Blue moves in to guard Yellow with Lady moving to guard Blue, before splitting off at the last second for a duel blade strike while Yellow leap up and cones down from an aerial angle.

"Damn you!" Tubaroid growls as he gets back to his feet and makes a break for it.

"Stop!"

"It's coming," Nick warns as Red charges his Morphin Brace.

"No need to dodge it," he orders as their sword begins to glow, "We power on through."

And cuts down the Megazord in one grand slash, "Shutdown confirmed."

"Hey!" Hiromu calls to Usada and Gorisaki as he waves, jogging toward them with a smile.

"Hey," Usada answers, "this way!"

"Where's the Metaroid?"

"Sorry," Ryuji sighs, "he got away."

"We were so close too!" Yoko and Hanna say together in frustration, getting a chuckle ffom the boys.

"For now let's split up and search for it." Hiromu advises, "it should still be nearby."

"No!" Hanna cuts in, "this is your special day, no reason you should be running around blindly."

Yoko is about to speak but is torn, not wanting to leave Hanna out of the day off but also not wanting to leave the Buddyroids behind to search as well.

"This is more important then-"

"No! This was a special plan by Yoko-sama! You need to enjoy it! Besides what are you going to do? Run around blindly? It may not be as accurate as the base systems but at least it is a system. I have a better shot at finding the Metaroid one my own then the six of you stumbeling around will. L-Let me do this."

After a moment Hiromu relents, "Alright...but call us the second you get a lead."

Hanna nods before running off, leaving the others to gather around Yoko, Hiromu picking up her lost notebook from the ground and casually handing it to her, "S-So where to next?"

Yoko sighs as she watches Hanna run off alone, "But this is your special day too..."

"Yooooooko," Usada moans softly in sadness.

"Sorry!" She forces a smile and perks up, "this way."

'Yoko-chan was looking forward to today...' Miho muses sadly as her station and the lights return to their normal positions.

"Nakamura-san, we should try searching too."

"Okay, Roger. I'll try linking the security cameras in the amusement park."

"And I'll see about patching a feed into Hanna-san," Toru adds as he looks over worriedly to the commanders vacant chair, 'Just where did you go? Commander?'

At a Subspace platform, not that dissimilar to when Enter speaks with Messiah the Commander examines a rotating cube, resolve on his face, clenching his hands into fists as the world shifts back to plain steel room.

At an employee's resting spot Enter has discarded his panda costume and is wearing one of the tuba men's hats as he practices a bit on the spare as Tubaroid returns, "I have returned."

"Have you made progress?"

"Yes! I've completed two of the four!"

"You're being slow," Enter kicks him annoyed and he back off in pain, rubbing his foot, "The Megazord already finished its job."

"Then I'll quickly do the rest," Tubaroid bounces on his feet and salutes as he turns and marches off.

Annoyed Enter sets down the tuba and takes out another Metavirus card.

"Ryuji," Gorisaki calls a drink cup in his hands, as the group approach the merry go round, "Here. It's hot today."

"Thanks," He smiles taking a sip and then setting it down as the two of them join the others on the slow moving ride.

"Yoko?" Usada asks concerned as he sees the worried look on Yoko's face, "Hanna-chan will be fine."

"I-I know it's just..." she forces another smile as she looks over to Usada, "Are you having fun?"

"It's pretty nice," Usada says noncommittally, and a bit annoyed, "Kinda puts a damper on my surprise tour."

Yoko smiles, putting her other concerns out of her mind, "We should ride the Ferris Wheel next!"

"Sounds fun!"

'I hope Hanna-chan is alright...'

"Are you alright Ladybug?" Hanna asks softly as she stands atop one of the buildings and looks out across the park, smiling as she sees the Busters and Buddyroids moving from ride to ride. "I'm getting some signal noise on my instruments."

"Having been born in Subspace we have never been exposed to the harsh elements of the real world so unfortunately I can't say if it's a results of the Metaroid's attack or just due to my delicate systems being exposed to this hostile environment. However, life support is still functional at a solid 82.33365 percent."

"Hummm..." Hanna muses, "Is the Marker system still working?"

"M-Mostly, why."

"Call it a precaution."

"That was fun," Usada says happily as he rolls off the Ferris wheel with Yoko who quickly pull Hiromu off to the side as he exits.

"I'm worried about Nick's surprise," she says softly as she takes out her notebook, and shows it to Hiromu, "are you sure this is it?"

Looking lost for a moment Hiromu gives an unconvincing response, "Oh. Definitely."

"Oh well," Yoko smiles and walks around him with a light step, "even if he doesn't like it, there's still the last surprise."

"What's that?" Nick presses as he slips over.

"That's a secret!" Yoko grins mischievously as she steps off to have one of here snacks.

"Fanfare!" Tubaroid appears from around a corner and opens with his sonic attack, "Boe~"

Hiromu quickly moves to knock Yoko aside, knocking her snack out of her hand in the process, and braces for the attack, only for Ladybuster to drop down in front of him and absorb the brunt of it.

"Hanna-san!"

"Ladybug-san!"

"Hiromu-san!"

"Are you alright," Yoko and Ryuji say together.

Hiromu pauses, looking down at his hands curiously, "Nothing wrong."

"I-Instrumental d-d-d-decay intensifying, atem-atem-atempting to compensate." Ladybug stammers.

"That tears it," Hanna cuts in her voice cutting in and out as he speakers malfunction, "You're getting a complete check up once we get back to base."

"I'm fine now," Ladybug counters as the Busters line up around her, "Besides you need me to assist your breathing."

"Thanks to Yoko-sama's transfusion I can breath on my own now Ladybug."

"But not w-well."

"That just leaves one more," Tubaroid gloats as the Busters get ready to fight.

"Now it's time for the real show to start," Enter smirks as he loads another Metavirus into his laptop as he rests the tuba he was playing earlier across his lap.

"Abnormal Enetron spike," Toru and Ladybug report simultaneously.

"It's in the exact same position as before!" Toru adds with a hint of alarm.

"I'm detecting an enemy Megazord in transport!" Miho and Hanna speak in unison.

"Another Metaroid?!" Hiromu speaks into his Morphin' Brace in disbelief.

"It should be near you guys."

"Eh?" Gorisaki says confused.

"Enter's giving us special treatment today."

"Now!" Enter dramatizes back at his base point, "Give a fanfare till the very end." Turning around as he tosses the Tuba player's hat aside and addresses the new Tubaroid, "I love them so much that I could just crush them. Go-Busters, ma puce."

"Fanfare!" Version one announces as he summons Buglers to his aid.

"The Enemy Megazord will finish it's transport in..." Miho and Ladybug say together.

"28 Minutes!"

"E-ERROR TIME OUT OF RANGE."

"Gorisaki," Hiromu says calmly, as he, Yoko, and Ryuji morph, "Take Nick and Usada back to base."

"Got it!" Gorisaki says quickly as the Budyroids quickly head off.

"Let's Morphin!"

"Go-Busters!" Tubaroid 1 announces dramatically, "This time, join me in my beautiful song!"

"No thanks," Red throws out his hand to silence the Metaroid, "You're tone-deaf."

"Ehh?!" Tubaroid 1 leans back in shock before straightening up in rage as the Bugler's charge in, "You bastard! Those who don't appreciate music should just die!"

"Busters! Ready?"

"GO!"

The battle goes as one would expect with the four Busters, while Ladybug's more delicate sensors were malfunctioning she and Hanna were still able to fight easily enough. But as the fight moves from the stairs to ground level Tubaroid sets his sights on Yellow, trying to blast her with his sonic attack only for her to use her rabbit leaps to say one step ahead of them, "What's his problem?! He's being so obstinate!"

"He keeps aiming at Yoko-chan!" Blue notes as he takes down a Buggler with a throat chop.

"But why?" Red wonder as he scissor kicks another.

"He must be hopping to run our her battery," Hanna calls as Ladybuster drop kicks another Buggler.

But for Red he remembers back to when this fist started, and Tubaroid said 'That just leaves one more.'

"One more," he muses as he reengages some Buggers come to attack him.

"Boe~" Tubaroid continues after Yellow, "Now sing! A song of despair, that is!"

"I'm not singing," She counters as a Buggler tries to ambush her from behind that she manages to deflect but falls to the floor.

"You're mine!" Tubaroid 1 gloats as he prepares to fine on the downed Buster, "Bo-"

But is quickly shot by Blue as Lady and Red change in for the kill and send the Metaroid flying as Yellow finishes off the last Buggler.

"Thanks!"

"Let's finish it!" Red orders as they summon their weapons and combine them for the final attack.

"It's Time For Special Buster."

"Boost Up For Buster."

"Listen to..." And fire, blasting Tubaroid 1 with their combine power and causing him to spark violently, "...my fanfare..."

"Enemy Eliminated," Hanna says with a long breath, "Final-"

"What?" Red gasps as Tubaroid advances toward them from the smoke and fire, his voice low and dangerous.

"The Second movement: 'Requiem' has begun."

To Be Continued.
