Dr. Mizuno wasted no time giving Andr first aid while Ryou called an ambulance. Andr was swiftly taken to the hospital, where Dr. Mizuno herself ran the diagnosis. She later explained the damage to Andr's head by Shinobu's metallic frying pan with the X-Ray pictures. "His mandible is fractured, as well as these other face bones. The left ear bones are shattered, I'm afraid he will lose hearing on that side. His left eyeball has also been damaged, meaning he will have to lose it too. We're lucky that blood hasn't leaked onto the brain. That would have killed him in seconds"
"But… Andr-kun is going to be okay in a few minutes, right? Just like Keitaro-senpai…" Shinobu said, worried…
Shinobu's stupid statement earned her a death glare from Dr. Mizuno. "I'm shocked at your sheer irresponsibility, young lady!" the doctor scolded her angrily. "I have no words to describe the utter insanity and your complete lack of regard for human life!"
Shinobu started crying. "I'm sorry…"
"Oh, no! Don't think crying will get you any sympathy! You almost murdered Dr. Seto!" Dr. Mizuno said to Shinobu…
"I'm sorryyyyy!" Shinobu cried even louder and more inconsolably…
"That's enough! I won't allow you to talk to her like that any further!" Keitaro said angrily as he stepped in Shinobu's defense…
"Defend her all you want. That doesn't change the fact she could have killed someone" Dr. Mizuno replied with tranquil fury…
After that, Keitaro and Shinobu got out of the hospital room where Andr was…
"You fucking bitch!" Leon roared…
"Leon-san, don't!" Retasu said as she and the other Mew Mews were holding Leon back to prevent him from ripping Shinobu apart…
"You think life is fucking Tom & Jerry? You think hurting people is a fucking game? You fucking piece of shit! I'm going to kill you! And then I'll go for your little whore friends at that Legendary Brothel of yours, rip their legs off and beat them to death with their own limbs!" Leon roared madly as tears from his furiously-glowing red cyborg eyes had soaked his face…
Leon managed to break loose of the Mew Mews' grasp and punched at Shinobu with all his might. Keitaro got in the way and received Leon's punch for her, which sent him flying through several walls. The Mew Mews resumed their hold of him as Keitaro painfully regenerated his wound, while Leon would continue to furiously scream and cry…
Shinobu then turned around and saw Ryou and Keiichiro seriously glaring at her. "You're lucky that Retasu convinced me not to call the police on you" Ryou said…
Shinobu ran away crying, passing by a random schoolgirl with long straight light orange hair on the way. About two hours later Shinobu was sitting on a bench all alone, crying her heart out, when Retasu approached her and sat by her side…
"Do you see now? …The reason why we care for and protect those we love?" Retasu said, still in her calm and sweet voice…
"What if I really killed Andr-kun? I won't be able to live knowing that!" Shinobu cried…
Retasu hugged Shinobu and let her cry on her chest…
"Naru-senpai told me that I had to make people respect me! That I had to be strong! That I had to pummel those who opposed me with all my strength!" Shinobu cried…
"You have spent way too much time living at Hinata House, Maehara-san. Now you know that Urashima-san's strange powers are something unique to him. In real life you can't freely bash people without consequence" Retasu said…
"But it's too late to save Andr-kun!" Shinobu cried…
"It is…" Retasu admitted sadly. "But you must learn from your mistake to avoid repeating it in the future"
Shinobu continued crying on Retasu's chest…
"Maehara-san… If you really love Urashima-san, take good care of him. Protect and support him" Retasu said…
"But what if he really is a pervert like Naru-senpai says?" Shinobu asked, still crying…
"If you truly love him, your heart will know the answer" Retasu replied…
Shinobu continued to cry silently for several minutes while in Retasu's hug. "Thank you, Midorikawa-san…" she whispered…
Now that Shinobu felt better, Retasu let go of her, and the two girls smiled at each other. It seemed like the beginning of a beautiful friendship…
"Shinobu!" a woman's voice suddenly screamed. Retasu and Shinobu looked and saw none other than Naru Narusegawa running towards them…
"It's the leader of those extreme feminists from the inn!" Retasu thought as she suddenly stood up and prepared for battle…
But, rather surprisingly, Naru did not engage in battle, instead going straight to hug Shinobu. "Are you alright, Shinobu? Don't worry! That filthy pervert Keitaro won't be able to harm you any further as long as I'm here!" Naru said in a heartfelt manner…
Retasu was amazed. At first sight, Naru seemed to be just the ruthless leader of an extreme feminist group, but for the first time Retasu was seeing Naru display some humanity…
Naru turned around. "Everyone! I found her!" she shouted. Motoko, Mitsune and Su gathered around Shinobu…
"Shinobu, you've been crying…" Naru said as she noticed it on Shinobu's face…
"Did that woman do something to hurt you, Shinobu-san?" Motoko said as she faced Retasu and unsheathed her wooden sword…
"No! She didn't, Motoko-san! Midorikawa-san comforted me when I was crying just now" Shinobu said, much to Retasu's relief. Motoko sheathed her sword without hurting Retasu…
"That can only mean one thing…" Naru said angrily as she walked up to the hospital entrance. "Keitaro! Get your ass here so I can kick it so hard you'll burn in the atmosphere!"
This being a hospital, Naru's screaming was heard by Leon and the Mew Mews as well. Keitaro cowered in fear…
"Is that your wife?" Ryou asked Keitaro from behind…
Keitaro nodded. "That's my beloved Narusegawa-san… I guess I should be going and face my punishment"
Having said that, Keitaro summoned courage and started walking towards the hospital entrance. However, once he found himself alone in the hallways, the schoolgirl with light orange hair that Shinobu passed by before was now stalking him. "Do you know the legend that says that star-crossed lovers are reborn as siblings in their next life?" she said to him from behind once she got close enough…
The startled Keitaro screamed like a girl and turned around as he found himself face to face with this schoolgirl who suddenly was staring at him maniacally…
"You don't have to go back to your ugly wife and get punished… That's right, there's no better love than sibling love… It's okay to marry your sister… Come with me" the creepy orange-haired schoolgirl said with a smile as she offered her hand to Keitaro…
Keitaro smiled. "I'm sorry, but I made a promise. My loyalty is with Narusegawa-san"
"Don't fucking come with that bullshit!" the creepy schoolgirl said in a sudden burst of rage as she gripped Keitaro's arm so hard she broke it, and mercilessly pulled the poor screaming man as she tried to force him to come with her. "I'll deliver you to boss Kanako whether you're whole or in pieces!"
"Please stop! You're hurting me!" Keitaro pleaded…
Keitaro's screams of pain soon attracted the attention of pretty much everybody, including Ichigo and her friends (minus Retasu), already in their Mew Mew forms since they heard Naru's yelling. "Who are you and what are you trying to do to Urashima-san!" Ichigo asked angrily…
"Tsk… It's those Nyan Nyan girls…" the creepy schoolgirl said as she chose to run away rather than confront the Mew Mews…
"That girl's suspicious… but we've got other matters to take care of right now!" Ichigo said…
However, as soon as he found himself unimpeded, Keitaro ran towards the hospital entrance to meet with Naru…
"Wait! Where are you going?" Ichigo said…
"If you don't come, I'll go in and neuter you on the spot!" Naru shouted towards the hospital. Keitaro didn't show up, so Naru pulled up her sleeves. As she prepared to enter, Keitaro came running out of the hospital's front door. Keitaro tripped on the stair and landed on Naru, his face on Naru's breasts as they both lay on the sidewalk, with him on top of her…
"You filthy rapist!" Naru roared as she punched Keitaro up with all her might, sending him several dozens of meters into the air in front of Retasu's horrified eyes. With his mouth leaving a trail of blood in the air, Keitaro fell from several dozen meters and none of the Hinata Inn women did anything at all to save him. Keitaro landed on his head as he hit the sidewalk with great speed and force, breaking his neck, ribs and limbs, his body turned into a deformed mess as he lay in a pool of his own blood. Shinobu winced as if she had felt the pain of that landing. Retasu couldn't help screaming in horror…
"What are you freaking out about?" Naru said nonchalantly to Retasu…
"Urashima-san… He was your husband! And you just killed him like you don't care!" Retasu cried…
"Just watch…" was Naru's answer…
Retasu witnessed just what horrifying extremes Keitaro's regeneration powers could reach. Keitaro slowly and very painfully squirmed, as his bones got back into place on their own, even those of his neck. "Waaaah! Nooooo! Please, make it stooooop!" Keitaro screamed and cried as his body painfully regenerated from all damage against his will. Shinobu started silently crying…
"See? There's no consequence for punishing my dirty pervert of a husband!" Naru said as she walked over to the screaming and squirming Keitaro and stomped him hard with complete disregard for his well-being, unknowingly making Shinobu cry even more…
"Narusegawa-san, please stop it!" Retasu cried. "How can you be so sadistic towards the man you love?"
But what Retasu said instead angered Naru. "Love? …Did you say love? …I don't love him! I cannot possibly love him! Never in a million years! Even if heaven and earth exchange places, I will never love Keitaro Urashima!" Naru screamed with sudden desperation, her face blushing intensely but her eyes filled with despair as if she had something to hide…
"I see…" Retasu said as she looked at Naru in the eyes with complete seriousness. "You do love Urashima-san! However, for some reason you're extremely ashamed of your feelings for him, so you're desperate to hide your feelings at any cost! You're trying to convince the world… no… You're trying to convince yourself that you don't love him!"
"Don't fuck with me!" Naru roared as she tried to kill a defenseless Retasu. But before she could punch her, Leon suddenly burst through the hospital wall and punched Naru's face from the side with his full strength, sending her crashing into a building on the opposite side of the street…
"You undignified bastard!" Motoko said angrily as she unsheathed her real sword. "Such a honorless tactic!"
"Transform, Retasu-chan! I'll hold them off!" Leon said as he prepared to battle the Hinata House women…
"Hey! Don't forget about us!" Ichigo said as she and the rest of the Mew Mews also hopped into the battlefield…
"Outnumbering is even more honorless!" Motoko complained…
"Relax! Don't forget I studied their transformation pendants last time" Su said as she took out a ray gun from her backpack and shot Ichigo with it. The damage was about the same as Leon's stun cannons, but the Mew Mews watched in horror as Ichigo's transformation was shattered and she reverted to human form…
"Wha…? What happened? My powers…!" a shocked Ichigo said…
"Did you really think I'd disassemble and put back together your transformation thingy without studying a way to counter it?" Su said…
Ichigo attempted to kiss her pendant again, but Motoko attacked her with a real katana while she was defenseless. Luckily Leon landed a low blow, more specifically his elbow on Motoko's intestines, before pushing her away with a backhand to the face…
"Judging from her trying to attack you before you could transform, the disabling of your powers isn't permanent. That barefoot bitch over there can cancel your transformation, but she can't prevent you from transforming back without help" Leon told the Mew Mews…
"Okay, you got me there. I give you credit for being smarter than you look" Su told Leon. "…But you can't protect all five of them forever, can you? Especially now that Naru-san is back"
Naru got up with blood in her mouth and a few bruises, but so royally pissed off that a black aura of evil surrounded her body as she walked ominously towards Leon…
"The bitch's right… They're not the ones who are outnumbered. We are! Thanks to a little ray gun, all of my allies have been turned into dead weight!" Leon thought as he examined the entire battlefield, a drop of cold sweat running down his forehead as he found himself confronted with at least three powerful opponents in the form of Naru, Motoko and Su, and that was not counting Mitsune, whose abilities were still unknown to him…
Naru screamed furiously as she lifted an entire car over her head and hurled it at Leon and Retasu. Leon first thought of jumping over the car, but with a defenseless Retasu so near to him and no time for her to transform, Leon could only push Retasu out of the way and let the car hit him…
"Leon-san!" Retasu cried…
Meanwhile Motoko attacked with her sword, which Zakuro had to block with a full-strength attack from her purple fire whip, and was still struggling to completely stop her. When Minto pulled her bow and arrow and tried to help Zakuro, Su zapped her with her de-metamorphose ray, reverting her back to normal. Bu-Ling then attacked Su, both girls demonstrating the same level of agility and dexterity as Su dodged Bu-Ling's attacks…
"Wow! I'm impressed! I finally meet someone who can keep up with me!" Su said happily while dodging…
Leon pushed the car Naru threw on him off himself. Just as Naru tried to crush his head, Leon rolled aside and jumped back to his feet. Naru attacked Leon with her fast martial arts moves. This time Leon fared better, but still struggled trying to maintain his defense against Naru's relentless barrage…
"Metamorphose!" Ichigo, Minto and Retasu shouted as they tried to transform back now that Bu-Ling had Su occupied while Zakuro held off Motoko and Leon battled Naru…
"Aren't you forgetting someone?" Mitsune said mockingly as she appeared amidst their transformations and punched and kicked them all before they could fully transform, reverting them back. "Magical girls are vulnerable during their overly long transformation sequences. I always wondered why nobody attacked them mid-transformation. Chivalry, perhaps?" she said with a shrug…
However, as the situation seemed to turn its most grim, a flurry of bubbles suddenly blew on the entire battlefield, which then burst into a cold and dense mist. All fighting stopped as the shapely silhouette of a woman in sailor fuku with short hair made her presence known…
