Scarlet was waiting on top of the Empire State Building, waiting for Yolei Inoue to strike. She hissed, as she was brimming in a fiery aura, "Yolei…"

The others were far away, as from far away, Yolei, a girl with long purple hair, glasses, and a black and red outfit, was waiting on the other side of New York.

"I didn't come back from Hell… to achieve greatness. Scarlet Riley, I've heard great things… Make no mistake about it… I've come for you…"

Her hands were coated in a blackened aura, and then said, "The Great War… is on…"

Meanwhile, back in AAW HQ, the rest of Team A-Fist retreated with Joanna, as Percival was tending to her wounds. He said, "I'm glad you came here, before Scarlet left. Normally I'd say to go assist her, but this is something she must do, alone. Joanna took the bullet, despite being dumb as rocks."

Asahi shivered, "Percival… What can we do now?"

Farra replied, "We have but one option left… Yolei Inoue is the Stand User for the High Priestess, but her Stand may attack any of us, as we speak."

Steven replied, "We're going out there and defeat this damned Stand, for good!"

Percival barked, "Are you nuts? You told me about it, just now! Her Stand could be anywhere, melted and camouflaged into anything made of mineral! It could be here, you know!"

Steven said, "That's what we want her to know… But she'd rather have us dead, than destroy the place, from inside."

Mundy replied, "He's right. The BattleVan took worse for wear, and we're stuck here in America. I believe MIO planned this, and thought about preventing the rendezvous."

Percival said, "I see. So, without the BattleVan, heading to Egypt will be hard."

Asahi felt saddened, "And the others… even Chazz… I'm worried…"

Cassandra asked, "Percival, perhaps you know of another way to get there?"

Percival said, "No… Flying is impossible, via plane. Michelle told me, on the phone, that on the plane, in their first leg, they were attacked by an enemy Spirit Caller, and had to land the plane in Hong Kong."

They all gasped, as he continued, "I never said this to you, but she kept it a secret from you, since we care for your safety, as well. So, flying is out. Not even helicopters would work, at this rate; especially since the High Priestess is nearby."

Cassandra said, "But no faults in aerial travel, not with Farra around."

Farra stated, "Yeah, but I can carry two at a time. And there's only six of us: Me, Steven, Mundy, Cassie, Asahi, and Scarlet."

Percival replied, "She's right. I'm afraid we're grounded here, at least until Yolei is stopped."

Asahi thought about it, but nodded, as she called, "WAIT! I have a better idea!"

The others were puzzled, as Asahi had a plan. Steven said, "Let's hear it."

Episode XXXII – Chapter 4: The Great War in New York!
Heaven or Hell: Who Will Win?

Back down below in the Red Sea, Team Nevins is departing from the submarine, via scuba-diving. Michelle said, "Times like these, we have to keep our heads focused and open. Alright, before we leave, does any of you know how to scuba dive, before?"

Chazz said, "No."

Peter stated, "Not me."

Yamabuki said, "Never…"

Heather added, "No, I haven't."

Rook explained, "You have to teach us how to use this, before we get there. Enemy Stands and Spirits is one thing, but drowning is another!"

Michelle said, "Try to calm down, Reggie. You must never panic, no matter what. Panic is not in my vocabulary. That is the most important rule in scuba diving. When traveling underwater, for every ten meters you go below, the corresponding pressure increases along with you. The surface pressure starts at one atmosphere, and since we're 40 meters below, we'll endure five atmospheres of pressure. If we surface too quickly, the lungs and blood vessels will burst. We'll have to rise slowly, so our bodies can adjust. Since we're near the Egyptian Coast, it's best to swim along the seas floor."

She turned the wheel and said, "Okay, I'm letting the water in."

The room slowly started to flood, as the others were in their oxygen tanks and scuba masks. Michelle held up the regulator and explained, "Now, pay attention, everyone. Important lessons in scuba diving. What you have is a thing in your mouth that gives you air. That's called a regulator. The valve inside only allows air in from the tank, when you inhale. The air you breathe out exits here on this piece on the left."

Yamabuki asked, "Wait a second, what about spit? Suppose I need to drool or hack out a loogie or something?"

Michelle said, "Stuff like that just comes out of the opening here."

She held her hand up and said, "By the way, this should go without saying, but we can't talk underwater. Maybe in underwater worlds we travel, but not here. We can only use hand signals to communicate. We'll keep things simple and only use two."

She demonstrated, using her hand, "Now, when things are going smoothly, we use this to say okay." And she held up her hand with her index and thumb forming a circle, in an Okay gesture. She then changed to a folded gesture, and added, "But when they aren't, use this."

Rook asked, "Miss Nevins, couldn't we use our Spirits and Stands to communicate underwater?"

Michelle realized, "Huh? OH! I didn't think about that."

Yamabuki sighed, "Aw, man. And I was about to know a really good hand signal."

She clapped and showed her hand signal. She did a peace sign, OK signal, salute, all in order. Heather translated, "She said: Your underwear is showing."

Yamabuki laughed, "Yeah, NICE!"

They laughed, as Michelle roared, "WE COULD BE KILLED, IF YOU USE THAT! STOP FOOLING AROUND, AND LET'S GO!"

They prepared to go, as the water almost filled the entire room. They all put on their masks and regulators, and departed from the submarine, leaving the Red Sea.

We'll check back with them, later. Nothing bad going on, at this matter…

Back in New York, Scarlet sensed Yolei, as she waited. Yolei was far away, in her distance. Scarlet said, "I knew you'd come…"

Yolei and Scarlet were miles away, as they were brimming in energy. Scarlet said, "Yolei Inoue… I remember you."

Yolei said, "Yeah, you do remember me? Well, I'm here, just to get my vengeance at you. Broken Matt Hardy veils me to do with you… brutally."

Scarlet called, "How did you side with the damned Broken Bastard?"

Yolei said, "Your defiance is so slow on the uptake. Didn't you know that I'm already taking precautions on getting the others into their doom, while I have you all to myself? It's obviously that we're waiting for them to show up. You want The Gang to help you, for something you cannot win at."

Scarlet said, "I'm not proud of a crime I did, sort of… only because Matt Hardy made MIO do his dirty work!"

"MIO? You mean the vampire that harbors Stephanie McMahon's body? Yes, I remember that…"

Scarlet called, "Well, for what it's worth… You and I have to end this. You came back from Hell, just for revenge, are you?"

Yolei barked, "Yes, I am! Once I eliminate The Gang, and you, along with it, the first person I'm going to kill off is that brat, Haruka! She and her adult friend, Miyazawa, will pay dearly for melting me into a lifeless wax puddle, and sent me to the humiliation that is The Office Hell!"

Scarlet smirked, "Try. I'm going to send you back to Hell! Pray tell, who did bring you back? And how? Matt Hardy, perchance?"

Yolei smirked, "Like you'd care to know. I'm not telling you… as it'll take it to the grave with me… provided that I live. But I'm not going anywhere…"

Scarlet barked, "…except BACK BELOW!"

Their auras glowed in a huge burst of energy, as the people in New York were screaming in fear. Team A-Fist was driving in Percival's car, as he sensed it, "It's her, alright."

Asahi said, "We have to hurry! Scarlet needs our help!"

Steven said, "Drive!"

Percival drove in fast speed, as he said, "And this is why I have no license… I have to control my road rage!"

Farra barked, "Desperate times call for desperate measures!"

She winked, "Besides… You don't need a license, to save the day… unless if it's unionized."

The car was closer, as Scarlet and Yolei rammed into each other, clashing fists. Yolei stepped back, and then said, "Pathetic! You think I work for that vampire, no! Satan is my boss! But when I best you, I quit! Working for that devil, 24-7, infinite days, with NO coffee breaks, NO bathroom breaks-."

"I don't think you'd go pee… since you're already dead."

"YO!" Yolei pointed at herself, "Do you see a halo? NO! I'm alive and kicking! And I'm going to destroy you, fully! You traitor!"

Scarlet roared, "I… am NO ONE's… TRAITOR!"

They continued to clash, as Asahi said, "So, Scarlet and Yolei are up high… The girl in glasses is Yolei, right?"

Percival said, "That's her."

Mundy called, "The Empire State Building! GO THERE!"

Percival called, "RIGHT!"

They drove off, but Percival took a right and encountered a huge overpass, with two tunnels. He asked, "Huh? I don't remember this in the road…"

Farra sensed it, and said, "I don't think it's… But this street is corrupt with-."

She gasped, "PERCIVAL, TURN AROUND!"

Percival did a turn, but the road started to split open. The others screamed, as Cassandra cried, "IT'S THE STAND! YOLEI'S FOUND US!"

Farra cried, "How is this possible?"

The car started to drive off, but the huge Stand appeared from the pavement and streets, inhaling its breath, sucking the others inside. Scarlet viewed from below, as she gasped, "NO!"

Yolei cackled, "That is the spirit!"

They were being swallowed in, as Steven cried, "WHAT THE HELL?"

Asahi asked, "IS THAT-?"

Farra cried, "THAT THING JUST FUSED WITH THE ROAD? HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?"

Mundy cried, "IT MERGED WITH THE ROAD! IT'S GARGANTUAN!"

They all screamed, as Asahi cried, "AAAAAAAAAAAGH! DAMN! THERE'S NO WAY WE CAN FIGHT THIS THING!"

They were trapped inside the huge Stand's mouth, as Scarlet shrieked, "OSKY!"

Yolei laughed, "AHHHHHH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! Any moron knows about the effects of a Stand and how it works. I guess you boys haven't learned, by now, that if the rocks are mineral, then concrete and pavement is made of mineral, as well. What idiots!"

Cassandra cried, from inside, "OF COURSE! WHY DIDN'T WE FIGURE THIS OUT, SOONER? YOLEI IS CLOSEBY, AND MAYBE THAT'S THE REASON WHY HER STAND IS GIGANTÉ!"

Yolei laughed, "You guessed it. And as you guess, I'm about over 750 feet from you losers, in the air! It's too bad that there's NO kaiju that can transform in that height… Right, Asahi Sakurai? But since you're about to be ground to dust, by my Hell High Priestess, YOU'LL NEVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO SAVE YOUR PRECIOUS SCARLET! So long~!"

They were swallowed inside, as Scarlet roared, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

They were inside the mouth of the huge beast, as Percival was moaning in pain. He groaned, "Fuck! That bitch knows everything… And whose fault is this?"

Steven growled, "We're still in the mouth, but luckily, it didn't get us swallowed in the gullet."

Yolei spoke, as she said, "Yoo-hoo, Steven Cooke~! Believe it or not, you're actually my type. So, this is painful to not see you live, and maybe meet in Hell, if I die, which I won't! You're a regular grim reaper, and so righteous than Steven Nevins. But age comes before experience. I would still have to swallow you whole… but first, I have to take care of that wretch, Scarlet Riley! Oscar Gooden, is it? Are you in there, too? I hope you're listening… because, there's something you don't know about Scarlet. YES! Yes, she did burn down a city, and was framed for a crime she did commit! But who do you think it was that controlled her, like a puppet? You guessed it… It was Lady MIO! SHE USED HER, LIKE A VIOLIN! And used you, to start everything! Make no mistake about it, three years ago, you saved Scarlet Riley, all for the chance to finally be defeated, and MIO and Mr. Nevins will praise me for my work!"

Mundy snarled, "No… You mean…"

Asahi growled, "Damn it! Yolei said that-. NO! It's a lie!"

Scarlet bowed her head and snarled, "Why? Why did you have to say that? Broken Matt didn't control me… MIO did… But that means…"

Yolei laughed, "That means… … …YOU'RE GUILTY FOR A CRIME THAT YOU DID COMMITTED! AND THE GANG SAVED YOU, FOR NOTHING!"

She cackled, as Scarlet seethed in sheer anger and rage, as she shouted, "Shut up! SHUT UP! I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU ASSHOLE!"

POW!
She socked at Yolei's face, and barked, "FREE MY FRIENDS, AT ONCE!"

Yolei yelled, "NEVER!"

She landed a swift left, and they resumed brawling. Yolei shot a fiery ember attack onto Scarlet, but Scarlet avoided the flames. She then landed a palm strike to her chest. Yolei staggered, but landed a right kick to Scarlet's face. They continued to brawl, as Steven said, "Damn it… If only we could help. Scarlet's fighting Yolei, while we're about to be kibble for her Stand!"

Farra said, "Everyone step back! I have an idea!"

She glowed in a fiery aura, as Cassandra joined in. She said, "I get what Farra's doing. We can burn the roof of its mouth, and we can be free!"

Percival barked, "One problem – The roof of this mouth is made of stone and concrete! I don't think the Stand would feel it!"

Asahi shouted, as she held her arm out, "GRAAAAAAH! FINE! Only one shot! IDOL JUSTICE – MECHA-SHOT!"

She unleashed her Stand, and fired a huge plasma shot to the top. Yolei cried, "AAGH!"

Her mouth burned a bit, as Scarlet landed a swift left to her chest and waist. Yolei snarled, "THOSE BASTARDS! They think they want to burn my mouth? FOOLS! My mouth's hotter than Hell!"

She spun around and landed two lethal dropkicks to the chest of Scarlet Riley. She groaned in pain, "HOLY… SHIT!" and then landed onto the roof of a tall building. Yolei said, "New York is vast, as it is your fitting end, you obsolete mule! All you are is a weak spider monkey! You sit in your chair, letting The Gang do their job, and you get a cushy seat, GROWING SOFT!"

She sneered, "But your arrogance and defiance will be your downfall! SAY GOODBYE!"

She mounted onto Scarlet's stomach with her knees, and landed a barrage of lefts and rights into her face. Meanwhile, inside the mouth of Yolei's Stand, the others were flying up in the air, launched from its tongue. Steven was falling into the mouth, and was swatted down by the tongue. He coughed out blood and flew into the molars of the High Priestess. Steven groaned, "Damn it…"

Farra cried, "STEVEN! GET OUT OF THERE NOW!"

Cassandra cried, "It's no good! The mouth's about to close!"

Yolei called, "I'd listen to the android, if I were you. My teeth are made of diamonds, the strongest mineral in existence! Not even your Hokuto Shin Ken can break diamonds!"

Steven moaned, "You try and bite me, you bitch!"

Mundy cried, "STEVEN, GET OUT OF THE TEETH!"

Farra shouted, "GODDAMN IT! MOVE! ROLL OUT OF THE WAY!"

Steven smirked, as he stayed in place, "Hmph. You think Steven Cooke will lose to you? Must be shameful to let this precious smile go to waste, huh?"

Yolei shouted, "BRAG ALL YOU WANT! BUT YOU WON'T ESCAPE MY MIGHT!"

POW!
Steven lands a swift right to the tooth, as Yolei shrieked, "OOOOOOOH! That tickles!"

He was pushed down, as he struggled to push it back up, preventing himself from being crushed. She added, "You want to match your strength against mine?"

He thought, "Damn! What a horrendous power!"

She called out, "It's time for you to meet your end, Steven Cooke!"

Farra cried, "GUYS! WE HAVE TO SAVE STEVEN!"

She, Mundy, Cassandra, and Asahi use their powers to hurry towards Steven. But the tongue swung towards them, as Yolei shouted, "STAY OUT OF MY WAY! SCARLET RILEY'S ORDERS! She chose to fight me, one-on-one! DO NOT INTERFERE!"

They all get swatted by the tongue, as Steven was pressed down in the tooth. Percival stood in place, and called out, "STEP BACK! GO SAVE STEVEN!"

He revved his arms back, and swung towards the tongue, with a barrage of tornadoes, "TEMPEST HURRICANES!"

He swung his arms up, and landed his twisters onto the tongue. Yolei cried in pain, as Farra raced to Steven. But it was too late. The mouth completely closed, as Steven was trapped inside.

"STEVEN!" They all cried.

Yolei laughed, as she pinned down Scarlet, "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! Hear that? That's my Stand, biting down the end of A-Fist, the Man with the Heart Scar!"

Scarlet moaned, as she was shocked, "Steven…"

Scarlet snarled, as her aura shone, "You… Son of a bitch!"

Yolei held her hand up, as her aura shone brightly, "Don't get up! Time to die!"

She grinned demonically, as Scarlet closed her eyes. She thought, about to die, "Damn… I hate you, Matt Hardy! Why did you do this to me?"

Back inside, Farra was sobbing, "St-, Steven…"

Asahi sobbed, "We didn't make it, in time…"

But as all hope was lost, Steven's screams were made from inside. And then…
KABOOM!
Steven reemerged from the molar, shattering it from inside. The others cried, "STEVEN!"

Yolei cried, as she cried out, with her tooth exploding into shards, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

She covered her mouth and shrieked, "AAAAAAAGH! MY MOUTH!"

Steven roared, "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

His shirt exploded into shreds, and hollered, "YOLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEI!"

Cassandra cried, "MY GOD! Those teeth were as hard as diamonds! How did he break out of it?"

Steven revved his punches and roared out, punching the Stand's teeth, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA! ATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATATA!"

Yolei was screaming, as her teeth were exploding, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY MOUTH! MY BEAUTIFUL TEETH!"

Scarlet cried, as she was sitting up, "OHHHH, MY GAAAAWD! WHAT THE WHA DID STEVEN COOKE DO?"

Back inside, Percival grumbled, "That showoff… He never ceases to amaze me."

Asahi smiled, "That's the power of Steven Cooke, the Power of Friendship, and Hokuto Shin Ken!"

Steven continued punching, smashing EVERY tooth and molar from inside the Stand, turning them into nothing. He called out, "GANG! LET'S GO! We're leaving this hellhole and rescue Scarlet!"

Farra called, "Right! Keep playing dentist, while we exit, ourselves!"

He nodded, as they left, "Hm."

They all departed, as Steven smashed the final tooth into shards. He called out, "Thank you for visiting Hell Dentistry. See you in Hell. …or six months, if your teeth grow back."

He walked off, heading to the others. Yolei was holding her mouth, in sheer pain, as Scarlet got up. She grinned, "Oh, boy… You never cease to amaze me, Yolei Inoue… You have such healthy teeth, but too bad. You're obviously low on calcium. Did Satan give you some, on the way? My guess is NO. This, Yolei Inoue, is why you never side with the devil."

Yolei cried, "No… Why? What did you-? Ungh… You ruined my beautiful teeth! I was going to pig out on some awesome foods, on my way, after besting you! BUT LOOK WHAT YOUR ASSHOLE FRIENDS DID!"

Scarlet smiled, "Aw… cry me a river… Maybe you're stupid to realize that your Stand is a part of you; I mean, seeing you're alive and kicking. Even so, when Hell High Priestess loses a bicuspid, you lose one, too.
OH, and one more thing…"

POW-POW-POW!
"KESUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSUSU!" Scarlet landed a fiery barrage of punches to Yolei, eviscerating her into a bloodied mess.

The others emerged to the surface, as Yolei fell from the distance, onto the ground below. Scarlet joined in, landing them both to safety. Percival groaned, "That's the last time I have myself drive to the action…"

They spotted Scarlet, as she said, "Job's done. You lose, Matt Hardy. I'm no one's puppet!"

Steven cried, "Is that a girl she beat up?"

Cassandra said, "I assume that this is Yolei Inoue, the user of the High Priestess."

Scarlet smirked, "The one and only… Steven Cooke, thanks to you, I managed to subdue her. I don't know how you did it, but…"

Steven said, "Keep your thanks. We know you would never do something so horrible. We deal with MIO, first, and then Broken Matt Hardy. He'll get what's coming to him, from you, tenfold. Don't forget, he's responsible for the death of Stephanie McMahon, and the rebirth of MIO."

Scarlet said, "I'm fine… Thank you. It's not a problem. I can wait to meet this bastard, face-to-face. But for now…"

She held up Yolei's battered body, with her teeth destroyed. She added, "We're better off… This is what's left of her. A message to Broken Matt AND to MIO… Never fuck with me!"

Steven said, "So, should we arrest her?"

Scarlet said, "There's no need… Let me worry about this loser."

She held Yolei by the neck, and then growled, "You… You did this to me… Yolei Inoue… YOU! No longer! EXIST!"

Yolei pleaded, "WAIT! WAIT, I CAN EXPLAIN! STOP! DON'T HURT ME, PLEASE! I can explain… I never meant it, from the start! Broken Matt didn't sent me, it was Lord Nevins!"

They all gasped, as Yolei said, "That's right… He sent me to America, reviving me from Hell, in order to find you… and I ended up shattered in bits. I only came here… to send you a warning and a message… Because, guess what? The Great War is on!"

They were concerned, as Asahi asked, "Huh? Great War?"

Yolei snarled, "You haven't won at all… As we speak, Lord Nevins and Lord MIO have prepared your friends for the final curtain of this battle. If you even think of going to Egypt, you're sadly mistaken! NO transport means NO trip! Your friends' fate has been sealed! And soon, they will fall, like dominoes! The damage is already done!"

Steven asked, "Tell us! Who's going to end the others?"

Yolei grinned, "I will never talk… Lord Nevins… will address it, when you get there… OH! But you can't… They will already know… but not you…"

Asahi said, "Maybe not… But you forget… I am a mobile home!"

Steven said, "You see, Asahi has an alternate plan. She will transform into Mech-Asahi, and travel us to Egypt, in swift speed, and to arrive at the rendezvous point."

Scarlet asked, "WHAT? You're going there, fully uncovered?!"

Asahi said, "Actually, it's an easy job. About four years ago, I aided The Gang in the battle in Miyagami Island, in which Kanade Jinguji trapped us in there, to die. But during my battle with Kanade, I had the others go inside, while in my Kaiju Form. You could say I am a newly-made Voltron. However, flying to Egypt isn't going to be easy, and with the enemy close to us, we have to stay on stealth. But that's where I step in, and created my own Mech-Asahi Stealth Mode, with this button."

She showed the pink button and said, "At first, I thought it was for changing my hairstyle, but it turns out, I have a cloaking device, installed within me. The power is unlimited, but flying there will be a challenge."

Cassandra said, "And to make it to Egypt, we'll go there, undetected!"

Farra added, "And leave the element of surprise to the others, once we arrive."

Mundy concluded, "And that, the enemy will never know where we are."

Scarlet giggled, "You guys…"

Yolei griped, "FOOLS! You can't ever win! Even if you travel, it's already too late! Your precious friend will die, in three weeks, and then-!"

CRUNCH!
Scarlet's grip crushes Yolei's neck, as Scarlet barked, "DON'T GET TOO COCKY! The Gang will save the day, somehow… But you, however, your luck's run out…"

Yolei gagged and coughed, as Scarlet held her hand out to her face, "Yolei Inoue… … … … … … … … … …Sakujo! (削除)"

FLASH!
Yolei shrieked, as she was engulfed in a huge fiery aura, melting her into vapor. She was completely erased by Scarlet Riley.

Percival gasped, "God… Did you-?"

Scarlet whispered, "Yolei Inoue… Your punishment to the Devil, himself, or as you put it, your boss… will be best by future endeavors…. If she has any left…"

Farra whispered to Cassandra, "Did you see that?"

Cassandra nodded, as she said, "Yolei Inoue's life source is diminished, completely… as if she was erased from existence…"

Asahi whimpered, "Wow… Scarlet Riley is evil…"

Steven said, "Not to be."

Scarlet glared to the sky, as she whispered, "MIO… Matt Hardy… I swear… All of us, we're ending this nightmare, one way or another…"

Asahi nodded, as Steven said, "Well? Asahi, you want to transform now?"

Asahi said, "Yes. I mean, we have the luggage back in the street. But…"

Percival said, "Eri has your baggage. However, she and I will stay here to watch Joanna and Mizuki. We'll be fine. You worry about going to Egypt. And win this one for all of us… And if you see Michelle, tell her that I'm going to root for her."

Farra smiled, "We will."

She kissed him and said, "We'll see you then…"

They all departed, as Scarlet said, "Alright… We have not a moment to lose. Grab your bags, and board Asahi Sakurai!"

She pointed upwards to the nightsky, "WE'RE GOING TO EGYPT!"

They all cheered, "YEAH!"

XXXXX

Hours later, Mech-Asahi, in her 50-foot form, flew away with the others inside her, in a huge cockpit. She and the others traveled away to Egypt, meeting with Team Nevins. After 500 kilometers, Mech-Asahi activated her Stealth Mode, and vanished from the air. Percival watched on, viewing the departure from inside AAW HQ. He then said, as he was thinking, "Good luck, guys… Save Mr. Nevins, stop MIO, save Mizuki, and then end this nightmare…"

He turned to see Mizuki, and said, "Three weeks left… And time is the only thing we have left…"

Meanwhile, ashore in the Egyptian Coast, Team Nevins finally reached the coast, and they viewed the sunset.

"At long last…" Michelle said, "We made it."

Rook said, "It hasn't been easy, but we finally made it to Egypt."

Michelle said, "Indeed. The trip we've taken should've been for 20 hours, by plane. But we lasted a whopping 30 days."

Heather said, "And we have 20 days left, before Mizuki suffers the Power Core's effects. It's been a hell of an adventure. We've gone inside a brain, and even inside our dreams."

Peter asked, "Our dreams? What are you talking about?"

Yamabuki asked, "Why did you talk about dreams, already? WAKE UP! It's morning!"

Heather said, "Oh, it's nothing. I forgot you guys can't remember that."

Chazz smiled, "Feh. Whatever. Let's go."

They walked off, hoping to meet with the others, in the rendezvous point, together.

Recap Time! The Gang, powered by the tarot, head off in a huge adventure, in a global standoff!
Michelle Nevins, captaining the team, led her team to travel to Egypt, while Steven Cooke's team stayed in America, cleaning up the leftovers that MIO and Steven Nevins made.

Long ago, in 1988, Joseph Joestar described this as "Around the World in 80 Days". And history repeated itself, 30 years later, led by The Gang.
From New York to Hong Kong, they battled Stag of Ruin, holder of The Tower Card.
In Southeast Asia, they tackled Dark Blue Moon and Strength, all at the same time.
Meanwhile, in New York, The Gang Girls encountered and slewed Parker Andrews, one of the Temperance Brothers, while Steven and Mundy encountered Judgment, in New Jersey.
Back in Singapore, Team Nevins had a run-in with Soul Martyr, the Devil Card; while Peter & Heather encountered Lewis Andrews, the other half of Temperance.
Back in New York, Asahi faced Myu Momochi and Ricka Machiyuki, The Lovers.
And meanwhile in Kolkata, India, Team Nevins had a showdown with The Emperor, Birch Small, and her partner, ROZ Rumin, The Hanged Man. While Michelle Nevins, when one-on-one, with The Empress, in Varanasi, India.
Near the New York-New Jersey border, Steven and Mundy meet the Wheel of Fortune.
In the mountains of Pakistan, they met Enyama Rumin, the wielder of Justice.
In Karachi, Pakistan, Hatsuharu Sohma, Jet Black Haru.
In the desert of the United Arab Emirates, The Sun.
At the same time, Death 13, both the baby, Manshu, in Saudi Arabia, and Satsuki Miyanoshita, in Stamford, Connecticut.
On a small island in the Red Sea, Aya Hoshino's Stand, Judgement.
And now in New York, one final showdown with Yolei Inoue, they just defeated the High Priestess.

During the journey, they gained brand-new allies to the trek to Egypt:
Cassandra Martinez, an android who wields The Fool Card.
Yamabuki Suou, a ninja who was once MIO's slave, wields The Chariot Card.
And Scarlet Riley, the head of AAW-New York, wields The High Priestess Card.

With several of MIO's assassins vanquished, they have finally arrived in Egypt. Only few of the tarot cards still remain.

But little do they know… NEW threats lie in Egypt… ready to take our heroes on.

Meanwhile, in Cairo, a few people were walking together, in hooded robes. A man from the Speedwagon Foundation was viewing the action, from far away.

"One… two… three… Nine! Nine people… and all both genders."

As he was viewing, a shadowy figure crept from behind him, with a cleaver in hand.

Inside a study, Steven Nevins was studying through books, as he asked, "Has the meddlesome flies been swatted? They served to be a threat, but we can't let them know. That Speedwagon Foundation. I pity them, and I can't let my guard down for a minute."

He walked to a girl, kneeling to him, with the corpse of the same man that was spying on them, beheaded and lifeless. He said to the girl, "Good work. MIO mustn't endure the surprise. I mean, really… What's the point of it being a surprise, if others are spying on us? That ruins it."

He said to himself, "Tell me, Stephanie, are you enjoying the new life of MIO? You are enjoying it, after all… My friends are getting closer. This is cruel and unforgiving… this little world of ours."

Back in Egypt, Michelle was on the phone with Percival, learning the good news. Michelle said, "Good… I'm glad the others are alright. But… Joanna, I'm sorry."

Percival said, "She's under intensive care, back in New York. She saved Asahi's life from the Stand that was attacking us. Don't hate her, because she was helpful."

"I'm not. But I am relieved…"

"Anyways, I have to go. I'll watch Mizuki, in their absence. You stop MIO, and end this horror show, for good. Don't forget: the fate of the future is on the line. Avenge those that died, including Ayame Kajou and Tohka Yatogami… and even, your father."

Michelle sniffled, "I understand. I'll see you soon…"

She hung up, as Peter said, "You're in a teary-eyed mood."

Michelle smiled, wiping her tears, "I'm fine. I'm just glad we're in Egypt. But now, we have not much time. We must go and end MIO's tyranny, once and for all! After a century, it's time to permanently end MIO's grip, much as her ancestor, DIO! Let's move out!"

Peter said, "But first, we have to meet the others."

HONK-HONK!
The others were in a four-wheel off-road car, as Heather called, "HEY! Michelle! Peter! We got the car you asked us to get! COME ON! THE OTHERS WILL BE HERE, ANY MINUTE! And this desert gets scary, if it gets dark!"

Yamabuki called, "Let's hurry and hit the road!"

Michelle called, "Yeah, yeah! We're coming!"

Peter & Michelle headed to the car, as Peter smiled, "This time… We won't have to do it alone."

Chazz asked, "Well, Old Hag?"

Michelle smiled, "Yeah, guess we're kind of lucky, huh?"

This is the Land of Egypt, a nation that is 97% desert. However, thanks to the blessings of The Nile, futile fertile greens spread across the entire riverbanks. In addition to the culture of the Ancient Egyptians, Egypt is also home to Persian, Greek, Roman, Muslim, and Arabian cultures, and all have left their indelible marks.

What bizarre adventures and challenges await The Gang in this eternal land, as their perilous journey continues…
Don't miss the next episode!

Team Nevins is riding along the sands, in their car, heading to meet the others. They stopped, as Mech-Asahi suddenly appeared. Chazz hopped out and said, "Good grief… Why did she have to transform, already?"

Yamabuki cried, "AAGH! WHAT IS THAT? A GIANT ROBOT?"

Heather smiled, "It's them!"

Rook smiled, "Took you long enough."

They prepared, as Asahi touched down on the sands. The others stepped out of Mech-Asahi, as she changed back to normal. They all landed on the sands, as Scarlet smiled, "Told ya we meet here."

Steven said, "Hey, guys."

Peter said, "Great to see you again."

The Gang, after a brutal 30 days, rejoined each other in the Egyptian Deserts. And now, The Gang, as a whole, team up, in Part 2 of their most crucial mission ever – The END of MIO.
