Moments later, Kana arrived at the club's backway, along with June. Emily was dressed, as she welcomed her in. She shivered, as she was nervous, "Sorry… I'm a little tense, when I wasn't informed of your arrival, Miss…"

Kana sighed, "Baby. You just don't know when to stop crying, when you see me. I said that you're clear of your debt to me, and only because this woman is helping you."

Emily sighed, "I'm just panicky… I got news about Ayame Kajou! IN JAIL! She's murdered a police officer!"

June gasped, "WHAT?"

Emily stated, "I'm sorry, but make this quick. I have to go and get Kashima-san, after she's fully charged, and head down to the police station! I'm sure we can explain everything."

Kana said, "Very well. Do you mind if I stay here, while you're away?"

Emily said, "Not at all. But come right in…"

She and June stepped in, as Beth watched on, in worry. She thought, "Kajou's in jail… What the hell is going on here? Could it be the Hitman Squad's doing?"

At the police station, hours later, Emily & Nanao met with the chief of police, as he addressed to them, "Your so-called monster is free to go."

Emily asked, "Eh?"

Nanao asked, "Officer, what went wrong?"

He explained, "Earlier tonight, the officer was stabbed and impaled with a pair of scissors, and they were thrown down to the floor. When we went and study it in forensics, her fingerprints don't match. Turns out that she never touched them. But the prints reveal someone else. We're not sure who it is."

Emily asked, "Sir, do you know whose prints were they?"

He explained, "Sorry, ma'am. But I'm afraid that it'll be weeks, before we can locate her. For now, I'm posting bail on your creature. She just couldn't stop seething and crying, saying she didn't do it."

Nanao pleaded, "Well, of course she didn't do it! Ayame Kajou's not a murderer! Someone else did!"

Emily dragged her away, "Uh! Kashima-san, calm down. Sir, we'll come back, tomorrow, when bail's posted."

They left, as the police chief huffed, "Whatever."

Outside, Nanao stated to Emily, "Emily Maynard… This is terrible. You don't think that this is the Hitman Squad's doing, as well?"

Emily barked, "And a fine time to tell me, before we got here, that Okuma's kidnapped! I'm beginning to learn to hate those mobsters!"

They walked off, as Maizono and Hagakure watched on. He whispered, "Damn… We thought Kajou might be off to jail… Sho failed."

Maizono said, "Doesn't matter. This is the famed Kathleen Wyler. What do you say we oust them, before bail is posted?"

They crept off, as Nanao sensed a disturbance. She beeped, "MASTER!"

She tackled down Emily, as Maizono stepped back. Emily moaned, as Nanao growled, "YOU!"

They stared down, as Emily asked, "Eh?"

She grumbled, "The one thing I didn't want… Kana and June are nowhere, by the way!"

"June?" Hagakure asked.

Emily replied, "June Nevins."

Maizono smirked, "So… That's the name of the blonde newbie, eh?"

Nanao and Emily prepare, as they stared down at the two Hitmen.

Episode 5 – Chapter 3: The Search for Okuma!
Maizono and Hagakure of the Hitman Squad!

Emily glared at Maizono, "Kashima-san told me about you two. My presentation was ruined because of two hitmen… Was it you?"

Maizono glared, "Indeed. We wanted to nab Kajou, alive. But this copy of hers-."

"She's a genuine revived human!"

"I don't care!"

Nanao asked, "Was it also you that kidnapped Tanukichi Okuma? YES or NO?"

Maizono said, "And why should we answer that to you, little toy doll? It's time you understand who we are, you lettuce-haired wannabe!"

She stated, "My life is ruptured in lies, being a pop idol… And you had to go and make Kajou an idol, like that? You make me sick! My fellow idols and partners in my pop idol group… they had the talent and poise to be cute and glamourous, until you brought in this Busty Pop Idol Frankenstein!"

Nanao replied, "For the record, she was a whole body, fused with the DNA of Ayame Kajou's original body. I won't say which."

Emily huffed, "It's her blood." She complained, "OH, SHUT UP! Even I'd know I would never use cum for DNA! Science fact!"

Maizono huffed, "I won't know… since we're all in this issue… but we should warn you that we have Okuma… and soon, we'll get Kajou… Also, I hear that Kana Koumoto is in New York, which gives us a chance to take out her Hitman Squad… Perfect. While she's here, we have someone taking care of her posse."

Nanao gasped, as Emily roared, "Bastards! So, this visit to New York was all a trap and an ambush?"

Nanao said, "We have to warn Kana Koumoto!"

Maizono smirked, "Oh, no, you don't! The both of us want Okuma and Kajou, alive. You two, however, will die, before you even get to Koumoto!"

Nanao shivered, as Emily snarled, "Damn… They've cornered us. Nanao, contact Oppai, and hurry!"

Maizono roared, "WHAT PART OF YOU'RE GOING TO DIE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?!"

Emily smiled, "Only this…"

BEEP!
The button on her remote was pressed, as it produced a cloud of smoke, blocking the two Hitmen's view. Emily and Nanao raced off, as Nanao contacted Kana.

"Danger! Danger! Kana Koumoto, send regards! Ayame Kajou 8, send this message to Kana Koumoto and the others!"

XXXXX

At the club, Ayame 8 nodded, as she beeped, "Message received."

She went to the girls, as she asked, "Kana Koumoto?"

Kana asked, "Oh… So, you're Ayame Kajou…"

Ayame 8 beeped, "Negative. I am AIAME-08, a clone of Ayame Kajou. I apologize if this was confusing, but I do resemble her, in looks and beauty. However, now's not the time to view my sexy goods."

Kana asked, "Right. What is it that you want from me?"

Ayame 8 said, "I have a message from Nanao Kashima."

June asked, "Nanao? She's with Emily!"

Beth gasped, "Are they in danger?"

Kana asked, "AIAME-08, playback the message to me!"

Ayame 8 said, "Understood. Playing back message…"

Nanao's voice was made, as Ayame 8 spoke, moving her mouth:
"Urgent news, Kana Koumoto. Emily Maynard and I were on our way back from picking up Ayame Kajou. However, we ran into the Hitman Squad's two goons, one male and one female. Dreadful news to report, along the way: Kana Koumoto, your crew is in danger! They sent you there alone to New York, only to leave your friends alone!"

Kana gasped, as June growled, "And the airport's closed! Damn it!"

Kana said, "We can't wait that long… Someone has to go back to Naples, and protect my friends!"

Beth pondered, and then smiled, "WAIT! I got it! You need a ride to Naples, right?"

Kana nodded, as Beth said, "Say no more! I have just the thing for your travel needs!"

She clapped her hands and inhaled her breath. She held her hands out and boomed, "ESP Perk Dimensional Vortex!"

She opened a portal, leading to nowhere, as Beth concentrated, "Kana, I'm going to help you get back home, quickly as possible. I have an ability to travel to another world, but the vortex takes time and energy. I need to concentrate on where Pets, Mossan, and Hijiri are, before we could attack."

June held her wrist and said, "In that case, Sis, you need double power."

Beth nodded, as they concentrated, "Naples… Naples…"

Kana said, "Wait! Concentrate on Pets or Mossan. That'll be easier to locate them."

June nodded, as she pondered Mossan, as Beth viewed the portal. She responded, "Ungh… I think I get it… AH! THERE!"

They viewed a vineyard, in daylight, near Naples, as they saw a view of Pets, Mossan, and Hijiri, who were walking down the pathway. Kana said, "That's them! I hope they're not in danger."

June replied, "Indeed. But I have a feeling that they might strike. Kana, lemme come with you!"

Kana nodded, "Agreed. Beth, hold the portal open, and concentrate on that area! We're going in!"

Kana ran into the portal, as June asked, "Beth, you want to come with?"

Beth shook her head and said, "You go on ahead. I'll stay here, and assist Emily…"

June nodded, as she smiled, "Take care." She ran into the portal, and it vanished. Beth dropped to her knees and moaned, "Ungh… That's the farthest I can go to travel… I can only travel down the countryside, but never overseas…"

Ayame 8 smiled, "You did right."

Beth thought, "Only problem is… How are we going to stop these assholes in the Hitman Squad? How many of them are there?"

XXXXX

Nanao and Emily were running off, as they were locating Maizono and Hagakure. Emily asked, "Any luck?"

Nanao replied, "Negative, master! I think we lost them… but I'm doubting my scanners. These Hitmen are Stage 5 Assassins!"

"Stage 5?"

Nanao beeped, "Stage 1 Field Agent – Sterling Archer."

"Ohhhhhhhhhh." Emily was stunned.

Nanao explained, "These assassins are experts at the art of the kill. However, they were once Alternativa, only they turned traitor, and want to take the glory and riches for themselves."

"Sounds like them. And no reason why they would want Kajou and Okuma?"

"No explanation, whatsoever."

"Crap!"

They stopped at a huge train station, as Nanao called, "The hitmen are after us. They are hidden here…"

Emily snarled, "Fine time to tell me. Well, might as well drop the Wyler, and go into Maynard Mode! I hope I haven't been rusty."

They looked around, as Hagakure was in a car, peeking through the window. He whispered, "So… They got here, before us."

Maizono snuck by and whispered, "Hey… The gap from the other side… What could it be, in there? Did they manage to alert the others in Italy? Even so, Ogami has everything in our ways."

He cried, "Wait, how can they be in the same area, together? That's crazy!"

She added, as a conductor walked pass the car, "Even if she did, Kana has no ways of reaching Naples again. They're out of luck. Can't be too careful. Hagakure, unleash Aqua Valve and reel one of them in."

Hagakure held up a crystal ball, as it produced a fishing line. Maizono shushed him, and nodded, "Flush him out."

He lunged his fishing line to the conductor, as he cried, "AQUA VALVE!" He pulled the line and cried, "GOT ONE!"

The conductor was killed, with the hook on his fishing line impaled into the head. He called, "It's not them… I can't sense two assholes, but I sensed one. Where are they?"

Maizono whispered, "They're over there. We have to eliminate them, completely. If we let them head to Koumoto, we're in dead meat. But even so, they've already left Koumoto's allies behind and wide open."

He asked, "Wait a second… One of those girls is a robot, and had sent the message to Koumoto. Though, I doubt she'll be there to stop Ogre."

She explained, "Merda! They've gotten advanced, have they? Hagakure, make sure that this area is wide open and demolished. We eliminate those bastards, giving the chance."

She halted him, "But you stay here… If they show up in another spot, we might ambush them. They might alert the rest of their friends. We got the boy, but we don't leave witnesses alive. We slaughter the new girls in America, and Koumoto's team in Naples, in one swoop, then we take BOTH the boy and the girl."

Emily and Nanao were hiding in the shadows, as Nanao whispered, "It's a good thing I'm learning the art of Ninjutsu. I love to burst their bubble, but I want to eliminate them, since I'm a ninja android."

Emily said, "No. Not right now. There's a lot I do not know about these two. Maizono… Hagakure…"

"As in Sayaka Maizono? News reports show that she was dead, after she mysteriously vanished, and her pop idol group was worried for her…"

"Years too late to worry. But a disgraced pop idol-turned-mafia assassin is too much! Kashima-san, we'll have to fight them, one way or another!"

"Sayaka Maizono…" Nanao scanned, "But this Hagakure gentleman… … …Scanning… Enemy threat: high… They kidnapped Tanukichi Okuma. We have to eliminate them, before they do onto us."

Emily whispered, "Exactly… Only how?" She then added, "Kashima-san, did you bring it?"

Nanao pulled a sword out of her skirt and said, "Your sword, Miss Emily Maynard…"

Emily held it and said, "Never thought I'd use this again, after all these years…"

She placed it inside her lab coat and said, "Now… Only if we decide to go attack, we have to be on watch."

They waited, as Hagakure looked around. "Hmm, they're not here, in the train's control room. Only problem is, they never shrink. I wish I had that hunch that Sayaka has."

He saw haze appearing from the area, as it came from Maizono. She unleashed her Stand, as he cried, "Sayaka, why is there smoke in the train? *GASP* She wouldn't!" He stormed out and shrieked, "AAAAGH!"

Maizono barked, "I'm flushing them out! I don't care if they are on the train, in the car, or hiding behind the pylon!" She boomed, as she unleashed her bipedal pink smoke creature, "PANTHER ROSE!"

Emily watched on and whispered, "What the devil?"

Nanao growled, "Stand Users! I knew it!"

Hagakure asked, "MAIZONO?! You're gonna do it? There are watchmen and conductors in this area! What the hell are you doing? You don't even know if they're on this train! Shouldn't we wait until-!"

"Let them suffer!" She called, "As long as we're thorough about this, YOU, and your Aqua Valve will assist me! Besides, a well-known fact: New York has the highest death count in the US! This, however, will be much tamer and less brutal. They're here, all right, I know it. Besides, you're making a fuss over nothing. Those two chumps are not getting off that easy."

She walked around, as Hagakure was amazed. Nanao scanned the pink smoke and said, "Emily Maynard, beware! This smoke… is noxious!"

Emily growled, "Venomous smoke? Poison… Idiots, they think they can outwit Emily Kathleen Maynard, daughter of the Great Hero of Argos, Miranda Maynard… and apparently the granddaughter of scientific mind, Dr. Henry Julius Wyler… THINK AGAIN!"

She called, "Kashima-san! Mask!"

Nanao gasped, "Oops… I had no idea we'd face someone with poison as a weapon!"

"YOU WHAT?"

"Tee-hee…"

Emily growled, "Shit! I guess we were unaware of this. Kashima-san, make sure that the gas doesn't get us… whatever it does. Now, mask on!"

Nanao replied, "Got it." She leapt off, and then pressed a button on her mask. The gas suddenly started to turn any person into a shriveled-up husk. Nanao whispered, as she scanned the corpse, "He's dead… And by his life signs, his body is aging, rapidly. So, this is some sort of aging effect?"

She contacted Emily, "Emily Maynard, make sure that the Stand doesn't get too close to you. This Stand has the ability to dry out the body into raisins."

Emily asked, "I knew it! This is too bizarre. A gas that shrivels people into husks."

"You should put your mask on, too, Master."

Emily put her mask on and said, "Right. But stay on your guard. If that gas gets us, our skin shrivels up. If they had any idea we're here, they'd definitely off us for good. But one thing's for sure, these two want to weed us out, before they find out. Oppai already contacted the others. I got no answer, yet."

"I made the contact. June Nevins should get the message clear."

"See what you can. And also, find out anything about this toxic gas, and why these people are turned to lifeless corpses, dried and fried into flaky bodies, almost like old people. While we're on topic, we have two choices: We either find Okuma and get the hell out of here, before we turn into aging victims of a biohazard area; or the other choice: we ignore the facts about this noxious gas attack, no matter how far the range is, and kill that bitch!"

"Then Choice Number Two confirmed. If we want to save Tanukichi Okuma, we have to fight them. But the first choice is a death wish." She prepared, "Octo-Eros is perfect for long-ranged assassinations. Permission to kill one of them, as long as it is Sayaka Maizono."

Emily nodded, "Granted. It doesn't matter which one you kill, as long as we find Okuma. You're our ace. Sadly, we're short on time. The gas may get closer, and my body could age rapidly soon. I want you to analyze the gas, and tell me how to stop it."

"Affirmative. I should have studied the gas, sooner, but we had no time, since we were running from the enemy. But we are not going to make it, if we stall."

"Wait, why doesn't it affect you?"

"Simple. I'm a robot."

"Oh, right… But be careful. But I created you to be more human. There may be a chance that your skin may age up."

"I would not have a problem. I may find out what caused the noxious gas, but … I may also find an antidote, or a cure, or some sort of agent that may fix this. Error. Three things are the exact same thing."

"Son of a-! If you meet up with the gas, you analyze it. I'll meet you later. For now, locate those two varlets! Okuma's life is at stake!"

"Affirmative! If we cannot defeat Sayaka Maizono now, we are screwed!"

"Split up, and we'll meet later. Masks on!"

They split up, as Nanao, wearing a white mask over her mouth and nose, walked around the yard, as she was hunting for both the Stand AND Maizono. Emily figured it out, "We either leave them, and locate Okuma, or we'll do the latter, kill these assholes who stole him. But I do hope that June's doing alright. Knowing Maizono's range with that Poisonous Stand of hers, it's hard to say… 10 meters… 20…"

Nanao looked around, as Hagakure was sneaking around, locating her. He whispered, "Got her… The android… Only, how to obtain her, with my Stand?"

He then waited, as he was munching on a cup of ice, "Jesus, Sayaka! Way to use your Stand, at a bad time! I hope all this is worth it! Only thing is, why is the android not turning old? Aren't androids partly-human or something? They'd be cyborgs, then."

Nanao whispered, "Where is he? I wonder what his Stand is." He saw the conductor's corpse and said, "He is already dead, and he is shriveling up. Poor guy. I swear I will find you." She looked around, as she saw a sign. She looked above and said, "Well now, I see that the air-conditioner is off. I bet I can set this to fan, and relieve all this toxic chemical. Only one way to find out."

Suddenly, she was latched by a fishing line. Hagakure pulled the rope and called, "GOT A WHOPPER! Which one is it? Whatever it is, she got the bait!"

CRASH!
Nanao was slammed onto the sign, as she was being pulled in. The line was sunk into her skin. He called, "I know that it's the robot, so, I'm going to use Aqua Valve to tear her apart!"

Nanao's hand was being pulled, as she groaned, "DANGER! Nanao Kashima is being damaged… You are unauthorized to dismantle unit… Oh, great. Should have known I would fall into a trap! Damn it!"

She saw a hook in her skin, and gagged, "What the hell?" She figured out, "Wait a minute. I analyzed that Sayaka Maizono is the one with the Stand of Poison Gas. Which means… … … that the Hagakure guy is the one with the fishing line!"

She responded, "This Stand… It's able to create a fishing line… And it's grafted inside my skin. However, my body is artificial, so he plans on ripping me apart."

She grabbed the string and snarled, "Who are you?"

He growled, "What is she doing? She's pulling the string? Well, we'll see about that, you green trout! If I know the weight of my bait, it's the android! My Stand can succeed at about 30% at the time, during an attack!"

He reeled her in, and she started to drag off into the ground. She moaned, "Hurts badly… Ungh… damn it, if this guy keeps up, he'll rip my brains out!"

She shot out Octo-Eros, and called, "Octo-Eros! STOP HIM!"

She fired two shots, as Eros 1 & 2 head off, heading to Hagakure. He avoided the shots, as Eros 1 called, "It's no use! He's too fast for us!"

Eros 2 called, "Master, he's very fast!"

Nanao cried, "Eros 3, Eros 5, assist!" She fired two arrows, as she replied, "Go find him!"

They missed, as Eros 5 called, "There's the bastard! And he's got a fishing rod!"

Hagakure dodged it easily, as Eros 3 said, "He's psychic!"

Eros 5 fell into a bag of ice in his pocket, as it called, "Whoa! It's ice! No wonder! The girl's Stand is used for aging, and suddenly this guy's immune!"

Nanao beeped, "Could this be why the husks are aging? This is not poison gas… it's an aging resolution."

She contacted Emily, "Emily Maynard, you still there?"

"I hear you, Kashima-san."

"Grab some ice! And hurry!" She explained, "I think I found out what Sayaka Maizono's Stand does!"

"Tell me!"

"Uh, sort of busy! Signing off!"

She signed off, as Emily growled, "Right… But where can I find ice?"

She dashed off, as Maizono was far away from Emily. Hagakure was pulling the line, as he called, "You think you missed me? It's to rip off your head! You can shoot me all you want, but it makes no difference! I'm able to avoid any shots that come to me, at precisely 30% of the time!"

SMASH!
He felt a shot from the pocket. He gasped, "Eh?" and then growled, "That little shit! How did she-?"

Eros 5 called, "Hi!" and then shivered, "Thanks for the supply!"

He called, "GUYS! SHOOT HERE!"

Eros 6 yelled, "HURRY! AIM THE POCKETS!"

Eros 9 called, "GO, RAGAZZI! AIM LOWER!"

Three more arrows shot out, as Eros 1, 7, and 8 flew in, and aimed at the pockets. Hagakure avoided the bullets, but Eros 5 called, "He dodged it! Boys, kick it in!"

They cried, "YOU GOT IT, FIVE!" And they kicked the arrowheads towards the pocket. Hagakure cried, "WHAT THE-?"

SMASH!
The ice is destroyed, as the Eros retreated. He dropped to his knees, "MY ICE! How did they know? That stupid machine knew about the ice!"

His Stand vanished, as Nanao said, "Now I see… It depends on the body temperature inside. I read somewhere that women age slower than men, depending on slight differences in body heat. The Pesci/Prosciutto Trick, huh? He who laughs last, Hagakure!"

She appeared, as the Eros dispersed. Hagakure growled, as Nanao aimed at him, "Bastard! Where's Tanukichi Okuma?"

He ran off, as she cried, "NO, YOU DON'T!"
BANG!
He was shot in the hand, as he groaned, "AAAAAAGH!"

Nanao called, "Octo-Eros! All Units! Return to base!" The Eros returned to Nanao, as she called, "Now… You're Hagakure… Where's Sayaka Maizono?"

"Who?"

"Your partner. Where is she? You are both going to pay for harming Ayame Kajou AND Tanukichi Okuma! But where is he, you ask? Tell me!"

She aimed at his face and hissed, "Uno, due… That's all you have… Now, where's Sayaka Maizono?"

He shivered, as Maizono appeared from behind her, "Over here."

BANG!
Nanao was shot in the back, as Maizono held a pistol. Nanao fell faced down, as Maizono smirked, "You lose. You're lucky that you're a robot. Once Panther Rose touches you directly, you'll age up, rapidly."

Nanao groaned, "An ambush… I knew it… She's… draining me… Shit…"

She passed out, as Hagakure cheered, "ALRIGHT, MAIZONO! We got her!"

He held up a mallet and said, "Now, for the finishing blow! This robot will be broken beyond repair!"

POW!
Maizono assaulted Hagakure and roared, "IDIOT!" He fell down, as she roared, stomping onto him, "WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT FOR? HUH? YOU FUCKING MORON!"

He pleaded, "OUCH! STOP IT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Uggggggggh, I didn't know you were gonna ambush her! And I had no idea she would figure out the ice!"

Maizono yelled, "YOU STILL DON'T GET IT, YOU FUCKING MORON? MAMMONI!"

She grabbed his collar, as he sobbed, "NO! Please don't hurt me!"

She roared, "LISTEN UP! The only reason you fell to this android is because you're weak-minded! Hagakure, you dumbass! This android knew about the ice method with Panther Rose! FINE! It happened! I'm aging slowly, too, so it's bad news! But if it were anyone from our team, they wouldn't have made their Stand go away like that, just to be left wide open, which is an act of cowardice; EVEN IF THEY LOST AN ARM OR A LEG! YOU'RE A DAMN MAMMONI, HAGAKURE!"

She calmed down and said, "Even so, she knew about our method, but don't forget what we came to America for… Ogami's already at Italy, so we'll leave it at that… You need to man up, otherwise, glory will forever be far from our reach."

She held her gun to Nanao and called, "But still, Dr. Maynard was nice enough to revive Kajou… all for our own mission to the boss. Once we have them both in our group, and Koumoto's team dead… THE DEED'S ALREADY DONE! THEY CANNOT ESCAPE THE INEVITABLE!"

BANG! BANG! BANG!
Nanao was shot in the head, as Maizono threw the gun down. She walked off, "Let's go, Hagakure! Maynard's in the other side. I don't sense her presence, but hopefully that Kana Koumoto will emerge here, leaving her friends behind to die. We have Okuma, all we need is Kajou! NOW BALLS UP, and grab some ice!"

They departed, hunting down Emily, leaving a downed Nanao behind. As for Nanao, the bullets were thrown out of the three bullet wounds, as Eros 5 was crying, "Noooooooooooo… Please, get up, Master… This is all the ice I have left."

Nanao moaned, "I'm not sure if it's my thanks for my attentive nature… but I guess I was lucky… Most of the ice that we shot off went into my hair… Should've guessed she shot me there…"

Eros 5 sniffled, "Yes, but… You can't die out… No…"

Nanao whispered, "Eros 5, you were able to stop the aging process… yourself… I have one more request… Protect… Emily Maynard… for me…"

She powered down, going into Standby, as Eros 5 cried, "NANAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Meanwhile, in Naples, Kana and June arrived at the vineyard. Kana called, "PETS! MOSSAN! HIJIRI!"

June asked, "You sure they are there?"

Kana said, "Yes. Since I'm back in Italy, I'll be staying here to protect them. You, however, well… Since we can't go back to New York, you can assist me."

June nodded, "Right."

They located the others, as Pets called, "HEY! Kana-bun!"

They ran to her, as Hijiri called, "Kana, good to see you! OH! She brought the new girl!"

Mossan asked, "What is she doing here?"

Kana stated, "Never mind that! You girls are in danger! Maizono of the Hitman Squad… She sent Ogami here to kill you! I came through instant travel, thank to Nevins's kid sister, to warn you."

June said, "And to aide you. You are in grave danger, since the Hitman Squad has divided to attack."

Hijiri asked, "What would they want with us?"

Kana stated, "Mostly for Tanukichi Okuma and Ayame Kajou. I'll explain, once we stop Ogami. Now, let's go."

They headed off, as Pets asked, "Eh? June, you have a sister?"

June nodded, "A helpful one, to boot. She told me that she stopped one of the Hitmen, Kuwata, I think…"

Mossan asked, "Really? I bet she had help."

"Nanao aided her, but she did most of the work, before Beth came in and saved her. Of course, that's what Nanao told me, I think."

Kana replied, "When we're done here, we should ask Maynard and her team."

Mossan snarled, "Bested by a child… This is nuts… And I bet the little stronzo, she's only 7!"

"She's 10, actually." June said.

Hijiri asked, "10 years old?"

As they were walking, Ogami was hiding behind the corner, as she overheard everything. She growled, as she was brimming in light energy, in a bright aura, and her right eye shining blue.

Episode 5 – The End

So the battle begins, as Emily is all alone, fighting Maizono and Hagakure, while June and Kana arrive, awaiting Ogami. What will happen next, and will they rescue Tanukichi?

To be continued…
