It was a nice afternoon in the main city of Akibastar, we see Hikari Kimishina and Youko Asamiya walking around an empty street with the latter reading a magazine.
"Listen to this, Yuuko." Youko beckoned, "This fortune says today is the worst day in ten years for Sagittarius like us." she shared.
"I don't believe in fortune telling." Hikari replied.
"I know." Youko admitted, "But it's interesting, right?" she egged, "You never know, we might suffer some unfortunate consequences, right?" she stated.
Hikari sighed, "Don't be stupid." she advised, "Nothing is gonna happen-" she was trying to say when suddenly a hornet flew towards them and landed on her lips, shutting her up.
The two stood there in utter silence for a few minutes until Hikari decided to move towards Youko, grabbing her arms and proceeds to lean her face towards her fellow idol.
"Wai... stop..." Youko uttered while struggling to get away from Hikari's hold, "What? Why?! What are you doing?!" she exclaimed in confusion and fear. When suddenly, Hikari smashes her hornet-infested lips on Youko, smashing the insect between their lips, killing it and spilling it's liquids around their mouths. Youko quickly wipes the liquid off her mouth in disgust, "You... don't mess around..." she demanded in annoyance.
"I'm sorry..." Hikari apologized while wiping her mouth as well, "I... I panicked..." she admitted.
The two then noticed Columbia walking past them which made them gasped in shock and panic as the two thought that Columbia got the wrong impression about them.
"Wait right there!" Youko demanded, "That's now what you think it was!" she exclaimed.
"Listen to us!" Hikari shouted.
"It's okay, I won't tell." Columbia reassured.
Obviously, the two idols are not convinced, "There was a hornet, I didn't have a choice!" Hikari explained in panic.
"You get it, right?!" Youko pleaded.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Columbia said before proceeding to pull out her wallet, taking a 5000 yen and then handing it towards the girls, "Here..." she offered.
"Why are you giving us money?!" Youko questioned in disbelief.
"What the hell is that for?!" Hikari exclaimed in confusion.
Columbia sighed, "Aren't you two glad?" she asked, "Since there was a hornet there to block it, it doesn't count as your first kisses, right?" she inquired as Youko and Hikari stares at her in disbelief.
Hikari then slugs Columbia hard on the face, "IF YOU UNDERSTOOD THE SITUATION SAY THAT FIRST!" she exclaimed.
After leaving Columbia behind, Youko and Hikari are seen sitting on a bench in a park somewhere in the city.
"This really might just be the worst day we had..." Youko stated.
"You got to be kidding me! That was all just a coincidence!" Hikari exclaimed in disbelief, "I refuse to believe such-" she was trying to say when suddenly another hornet flew towards them and landed on her lips, shutting her up.
The two stood there in utter silence for a few minutes until Hikari decided to move towards Youko, grabbing her arms and proceeds to lean her face towards her fellow idol.
"Come on! Not again!" Youko exclaimed in disbelief while struggling to get away from Hikari's hold, "Why are you coming at me?!" she questioned in annoyance.
Suddenly, Montpelier arrives, much to the two idols' shock and disbelief.
Montpelier stares at them for a few minutes before pulling out a can of insecticide from coat and then spraying it directly on Hikari and Youko's faces.
"Fortune telling is scary." the two idols thought at the same time.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile at another part of the city, we see a group consisting of Nagisa Motomiya, Chieri Sono, Yuuka Ichijou, Orine Aida, Sonia Strumm, Luna Platz and Momo Yaoyorozu walking across the streets. Akira Igarashi can be seen walking ahead of them while Shiori Arisawa is seen standing at the other side of the street waiting for a go signal for her to cross the street.
Sonia is eating a frankfurter on a stick when it accidentally slips out from her fingers, "Ah!" she let's out a gasp.
Yuuka responded by moving quickly in attempts to catch the falling frankfurter... only for the point of the stick to stab her palm, "AAAHH!" she screamed in pain.
Nagisa then quickly moves in behind Sonia in an attempt to catch the frankfurter... only for her palm to get stab by the stick as well, "YAAAAA!" she screamed in pain.
Both Yuuka and Nagisa crashes down on the concrete as the frankfurter is inches away from hitting the ground when Luna slides down and slaps the frankfurter away from the ground.
Shiori is seen crossing the streets when the frankfurter hits her square on the face, "Eek! Frankfurter?!" she exclaimed in shock while the frankfurter bounces off her face and is sent flying away from her.
The frankfurter then flew towards Akira which then went inside the back of her shirt, startling her on the process, "Ew! What?! A bug?!" she exclaimed in panic and disgust. She quickly grabs the stick before throwing it away like a dagger, "AAAHHH!" screaming while doing so.
The frankfurter flew towards Chieri with the point of the stick stabbing her in the midsection, "Gah!" she let's out a gasped of pain.
And as a result, Chieri didn't caught the frankfurter and it fell on the ground, making everyone gasped in response.
As Chieri hunches down while rubbing her soared midsection, Sonia stares at the frankfurter on the ground, "Aww...'' she let's out a groan before picking it up, "Meh... whatever.'' she said before eating it again.
"We went through all that for nothing." Nagisa thought as everyone stares at Sonia in disgust and bewilderment.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile a rooftop of a cafe called Three Stars and the Sun somewhere at the city, we see Kanata Shinonome and Mimori Kishida sitting at one table with a large red & white striped umbrella covering them from the sunlight.
Kanata sighed, "I can't believe that I wasn't aware that something like that happened to Sonata." she said in regret.
"You shouldn't beat yourself to it." Mimori advised, "At least nothing bad happened to your sister." she pointed out.
"But I should have been there for her." Kanata insisted.
As this is going on, down below the cafe, we see Sonata Shinonome running across the sidewalks in a hurry when suddenly she slip on a puddle which causes her to crash down face first on the pavement while the people around her casually walks away, ignoring her.
Sonata laid down on the concrete in sheer embarrassment with visible tears on her eyes when Noam Odin walks by and took notice of Sonata before proceeding to head towards her direction.
Sonata then gave him a reassuring yet irritated look, ''Don't come over here!" she demanded in her thoughts, "I'll be fine! I can make it!" she exclaimed.
Noam kept walking towards her with a grin on his face, "Don't push yourself." he advised in his thoughts, "You must be embarrassed lying down there by yourself.'' he mused.
And as Noam got close to her, he suddenly slips on a puddle which sends him crashing down the concrete with a straight body, "Gah!" Sonata let's out a gasped of what just happened.
Sonata then stood up and casually walks away from him while Noam tries to get up but he was TOO embarrassed that he can't even move his legs, he can only look down while gritting his teeth.
Meanwhile, we see Walkerton "Walky" Battler walking by and took notice of Noam before proceeding to head towards his direction.
Noam then saw Walky walking towards him, "Don't come here, Walky!" he called out in his thoughts, "I'm fine! I can make it!" he claimed but Walky kept on walking, "I said I'm fine! I'm used to this kind of thing!" he reasoned but Walky still kept on walking, "Hey, figure it out already!" he exclaimed with a glare when all of a sudden Walky steps on a puddle which causes him to slip and crashes on the concrete back first, "See... I told you." he quipped.
Walky sat up but is unable to stand because of embarrassment while Noam looks down as the former twitches his eyes and gritted his teeth in irritation.
As this is going on, Sonata marches her way back towards the two boys, "Jeez, you two!" she hissed in irritation and when all of a sudden she steps on another puddle and slips, "Gwah!" she squeaked before crashing down on the concrete face first.
The trio laid down the concrete in utter silence as various walks past them and all the while, Kanata and Mimori had no idea what just transpired.
Bzzzttt...
The next day at the main city of Akibastar where the idols are seen cleaning their dorms while the heroes are having fun goofing around somewhere in the city while Yuuka Ichijou, Hikari Kimishima, Chiharu Sakuragi, Tomoyo Itano and Makoto Yokomizo were tasked to clean the living area of their dorm.
"Okay, we've moved all of the sofas and the TV, but what about the big vase?" Hikari inquired.
"Better take it out too." Makoto suggested.
"Yeah, it'll be more convenient." Chiharu said in agreement.
Hikari and Makoto then proceeded to lift the vase from the floor, "On the count of 2." the former beckoned, "Okay." the latter complied.
"Ready, 1..." Hikari was saying when Makoto moved too quickly, "W-Wait!" she exclaimed but too late as both of lost their footing which causes them to let go of the vase as the large object fell down to the floor and got smashed to pieces, much to everyone's shock.
"Ara~ Ara~" Tomoyo muttered in concern.
"Makoto! You've got no sense of timing!" Hikari chastised.
"Sorry..." Makoto apologized.
After cleaning the remains of the vase, the idols proceeds to do something else.
"Hey, let's change the lights first." Yuuka suggested.
"I'll go get the fluorescent tubes." Makoto volunteered.
And with that, Yuuka and Makoto left the living room and a minute later, Yuuka came back with a ladder in hands.
"I'll place the ladder here." Yuuka said.
"Okay." Hikari acknowledged.
Makoto then came back with a number of fluorescent tubes in her arms, "I'm back!" she announced however she was holding the tubes horizontally causing it's end tips to hit the sides of the entrance way, smashing it to pieces, much to everyone's disbelief.
"Guah!" Makoto yelped.
"Makoto, what are you doing?!" Hikari exclaimed in disbelief.
"So-Sorry..." Makoto muttered in apology.
"My goodness..." Chiharu uttered.
After that, the girls decided to clean the remains of the fluorescent tubes.
"We're almost done." Chiharu said.
"Bring the paint over." Tomoyo beckoned.
Makoto then ran towards them with a bucket of paint in hand, "I got the paint!" she announced.
"Eh? Makoto?!" Hikari squawked in surprise.
Suddenly the handle of the bucket broke which causes it to fall to the floor, accidentally opening it's lid and it's contents spilled all across the floor, much to everyone's annoyance and disbelief.
"So-Sorry..." Makoto muttered in apology.
"Goodness Makoto! Can't you get anymore clumsier?!" Chiharu exclaimed in disbelief.
"I think it's better for you to clean the windows!" Tomoyo pointed out.
Makoto sighed before walking towards the windows, "Okay..." she complied.
"No wait! The windows is a not a good idea!" Hikari exclaimed in panic, "Instead... umm... how about..." she muttered, "The walls! Dust the walls instead!" she ordered.
"G-Got it." Makoto complied.
And after that, we see Hikari and Yuuka mopping the floor while Makoto dusted the walls with a feather duster when all of a sudden... a large crack form across the wall before it got shattered to pieces, much to everyone's shock, annoyance and disbelief.
"I'm sorry..." Makoto apologized once more.
Hikari and Yuuka stares at her in disbelief, "Are you for real..." they thought at the same time.
Bzzzttt...
Meanwhile in the main city of Akibastar, we see Spear, Seryuu Ubiquitous and Rena Ryuuguu walking around in one street when an idea came to Spear's mind.
"There's one thing I've been wondering about for some time now and that is who is the strongest in our group here?" Spear shared.
Seryuu grinned evilly, "Oho~" she mused, "Sounds interesting, let's find out right now." she egged.
"Wait a minute, what are you two on about?" Rena asked in concern.
Spear took off her coat, "It's not like we can be satisfied with pretending to get along with each other forever." she stated.
"What are you not satisfied with?" Rena questioned, "Let's just stop with this." she beckoned, "To find out who is the strongest, it's just a pointless thing to do... stuffs like these don't matter anymore." she stated.
"You sure taking this lightly, you monster." Spear mused.
"You're actually really scared that you'll lose right." Seryuu teased.
"Sheesh..." Rena muttered in defeat.
Seryuu chuckled, "Right then, what are the rules?" she asked.
Spear thought about it, "Hmm, well, let's see..." she muttered.
"Huh?" Rena uttered in confusion, "We're having a battle royale right?" she pointed out, "Why would we need things like rules?" she questioned.
Seryuu and Spear turns to Rena in shock until they realized whom they're talking to as both girls began to shake in fear and anxiety.
In fights, rules are established so as to avoid the worst possible outcome.
This is a concept that a deranged woman like Rena was unable and will never be able to comprehend.
When compared to those who practiced martial arts as a sport, the "meaning behind a fight" is fundamentally too different for Rena.
"Oh hey now, Rena, were just joking there!" Spear exclaimed in panic.
"Yeah! There's no need to take this seriously!" Seryuu added.
Rena smiled, "Oh, so you guys were just joking..." she mused.
Both Seryuu and Spear watches in utter horror when Rena casually threw away a piece of dinner plate-sized rock she was holding.
