And I'm back with the next chapter of Meta-Verse. Last part isn't even what I was expecting. I mean, I did expect a few parts to be in there, but I felt like I literally missed a lot to write in that part, so I'm thinking of having this chapter be filled with the parts I missed, well, the first half of this chapter, but yeah. Anyways, in this second half of this two-parter chapter, Candy is victim to Ivy Mary's poison, while Riko is almost about to be killed off by the delusional Marys. Will they be saved? Let's find out, shall we?
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters appearing in this fic.
Reg: Previously on Meta-Verse.
Philomena: There is something that you didn't tell me that someone said about you.
Riko: Like what?
Philomena: That you died. Then you got revived by the Curse Repelling Vessel.
Katy: So, it seems that we have to go to a countryside bar.
Riko: Why's that?
Katy: I've been hearing some mysterious rumors that something is haunting there, but we don't know what.
Hugtan: What does this haunter want, anyways?
Katy: Who knows. That's why we're going to find out.
Riko: What is all this?
Pirate Mary: So, a fine young lady like you have to come in, huh?
Riko: What do you want with her?
Pirate Mary: You'll find out sooner or later that your friends are gonna be under my hands.
Ivy Mary: Pain and poison is what kills you the most.
Katy: Somebody get a doctor!
Pirate Mary: Your time's up. You don't get a chance to live a little longer.
Mary: No, don't!
Pirate Mary: Too late. It's done.
Riko: Am I gonna die here?

Unknown Area
Outside of the countryside bar, we see two females walking to the bar.
The first female has red hair and blue eyes and wears glasses. She wears a light-blue short-sleeve shirt, light-blue shorts, red knee-high socks and blue sneakers. This is the Space Pirate, Mito Mitsukuni.
The second female has pink hair and purple eyes. She wears a light-pink dress, white socks and red ruby shoes. She always carries her brown stuffed bear. This is Mint Clark.
"I didn't know when the last time I dranked." Mito said.
"Drinking is bad for you, you know?" Mint points out.
"Ah, shut up! I can drink if I want to." Mito said.
Mint sighed. "I can't believe she's even twenty. She doesn't look twenty though."
They then ran into Candy, who's eyes and mouth were bleeding.
"Oh my God." Mito looks at Candy in horror.
"What just happened?" Mint shook her head.
"You guys need to call a doctor now." Katy Caterpillar was on top of Candy's belly.
"She does need one." Mint nodded.
"You call on one, I'll see what I can get from here." Mito said.
Mint nodded, then she ran off to find a telephone.
Mito then turns to Katy. "So, little worm. When did this happen?"
"Caterpillar, to be exact. Well…I don't know. I just noticed her like this not long ago." Katy said.
Mito nodded. "She looks bad."
A scream can be heard from the bar.
Mito took notice of this. "What was that?!"
"Riko…" Katy noticed that something was happening in the bar. "You need to go in there and see what's going on. I'll have someone watch her here and I'll come with you when I get some people to you."
Mito nodded. "Sounds like a plan." Then, she ran to the bar.
Katy turns on her comm link and gets a hold of someone.
"Hey." Nanachi's voice can be heard from the link.
"Nanachi. Call in some of the Agents. And bring someone to watch on Candy. Cause…something bad just happened." Katy said.
Silence
"Alright. We'll be there soon." Nanachi said.
"Thank you." Katy turns off her comm link. "I'm hoping both Riko and Candy will be okay."
Meanwhile, Mito runs into the bar and gets in. She ran inside, then she saw that Riko is surrounded by the delusionary Marys, trying to suffocate her.
"Well, well, well. Look what we have here? Another fine young lady." The pirate Mary came to Mito. "You're here to save your friend, hmm?"
"Let her go, you slime ball." Mito said.
The pirate Mary snickered. "You're not gonna get anywhere with me. Oh hell no." She walked around Mito. "You're just not the type to fight someone like me."
"Just to let you know I'm a Space Pirate." Mito said.
The pirate Mary turns to face the delusionary Marys. "You hear that? She's a Space Pirate!" She laughed.
The delusionary Marys laughed with the pirate Mary.
"Prove it then." The pirate Mary sneered.
Mito looks at the pirate Mary in anger, then she grabs out her laser gun and shoots at the pirate Mary. The delusionary pirate dodges every of Mito's gun blasts, then she flies and grabs the Space Pirate captain in the neck. "You're not gonna win. I am the Curse of the Third Layer of the Abyss."
"Wait, what?" Riko thought, still trying to get herself out of the crowd of delusionary Marys who were still trying to suffocate her.
"Death is upon you. And everything you give to me, will be used against you." The pirate Mary then turns into a shadow with frighteningly yellow eyes. "I am the shadow of death. I am the Curse of the Third Layer. I am…death…"
"You said death like three times now if not more." Mito then grabs the shadow Mary, then throws her across the bar. Then she ran into the crowd, and shot them all off with her laser gun. She then ran to Riko. "Are you alright?"
Riko gasped for air. "Who are you?"
"I am Space Pirate Captain Mito Mitsukuni."
"Riko." She shook hands with Mito. "Thanks."
"No problem." Mito then turns to the shadow Mary. "Now we have to take care of this guy."
The shadow Mary turns to Mito and Riko, then she turns to the real Mary. "I am the fear that you inherit for quite some time now. You bundled up that fear, and I have to deal with the mess that has been made."
"What do you mean?" Mary asked, frightened.
"You see, there is a powerful reason behind every of this. Your fear is what led me here. In the form of the Curse." The shadow Mary said.
"How are you a living thing?" Riko asked.
"Because. I've bundled myself inside Mary for quite sometime without her knowing it. I wasn't a living thing until now. I am the true case of Hell. I am a shadow of your inner self." The shadow Mary then transforms into a female samurai-like demon that wears a white kimono with light blue spots and wears a gray hockey mask. She is carrying a katana in hand. This is Sengoku Maryoku.
"Well that's not good." Mito said.
"We need some help." Riko said.
Sengoku then goes to attack the two, trying to kill them off. Mary just stood there, with her whole body shaking violently.
"Riko!"
"Reg?!" Riko said.
Reg has gotten into the bar, and so as Nanachi, Marulk, Katy and Mint.
"You found someone?" Mito asked.
"Yeah." Mint nodded.
"Then let's get this damned bitch out of the way." Mito grabs out her light saber and turns it on.
"You fools are not gonna get away from fear." Sengoku then charges at them.
Reg charges up to Sengoku and he blocks her sword attack with his arms.
"You boy. You should have not been past out while I was consuming Riko's fear." Sengoku said.
"Wait! You're the Curse of the Third Layer?!" Reg is in shock.
Sengoku chuckled. "What else would I be?"
"Dammit. But can a Curse take form?" Nanachi thinks for a moment.
"That's the first time I heard something like that happen before." Katy said.
"Yeah. It's uncommon." Nanachi said.
Then, Lillie, Magearna, Snowy, Joy, Sosuke and Ponyo came into the bar.
"You guys, too?" Sengoku turns around to the six. "You have no reasons to be here." She then charges at them.
Ponyo calls out water into the bar, then she and Sosuke charges at Sengoku with their telekinetic ability of controlling water. Sengoku then slashes at the water, splitting it up, throwing Sosuke and Ponyo to different sides of the room.
"Snowy! Use Powder Snow!" Lillie commanded.
"Right back at ya!" Snowy then opens her mouth, shooting out a sleet of snow out of her mouth.
Sengoku tries to block the attack, but her sword gets frozen. "Dammit."
Magearna goes to Mary. "Are you okay?"
"This is my fault. This is my fault I got you all into this. I'm the true haunter." Mary said.
Magearna shook her head. "You're not."
"You say that like I didn't do anything but I did. I send this thing out here, and it's my fault I did it." Mary said.
"You can't just blame yourself for it. You can fix this. I know you can." Magearna said.
Mary thinks for a moment, then sighed. "Just let me think real quick."
Magearna nodded.
Sengoku then uses a fire spell to unfreeze her sword.
"That didn't work." Snowy looks concerned.
"You can't just freeze me. Being frozen can be a devastating thing." Sengoku then charges at Snowy, but she got kicked by Joy, sending her across the room.
"Thanks." Snowy said.
"No problem." Joy readies her sword.
Sengoku gets up. "You wanna play it that way?"
Joy looks determined.
"So be it." Sengoku then charges at Joy.
Joy charges at Sengoku and they clashed swords, then they did a sword fight between each other.
"While she is distracted." Katy grabs out her Big Impact Gun and shoots it at Sengoku, causing some damage on the Shadow.
Sengoku then turns around. "Who shot that?!"
"Me, of course." Katy said.
Sengoku's eyes maddened. "You think you can stop me, you LITTLE BUG!" She then throws her sword towards Katy.
"Eek!" Katy jumps onto Nanachi, and the both of them dodged the sword.
"Maybe not do a dumbass thing like that again." Nanachi said.
"I'm sorry, okay?!" Katy said, looking stressed out.
"Naa." Nanachi just said.
Katy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right."
Reg goes into the attack and he attacks Sengoku with his extendable arms. The Shadow uses shadow swords she grabbed out of thin air. She managed to cut the robot boy in the left cheek, causing it to bleed a little.
"Oh my God, Reg!" Riko said.
"You're at my damned mercy." Sengoku said.
"Killing innocent people is a crime!"
Sengoku turns around to see Sweet Mint and a young girl coming into the bar.
The girl has black hair and gray eyes. She wears a tan-colored long-sleeve shirt, orange skirt, white socks and brown loafers. This is Kokoro Katsura.
"And who the hell are you two?" Sengoku asked.
"I am Mint."
"And I am Kokoro Katsura. I also have another name." She then grabs out her wand.
"You bitch." Sengoku then runs to get her sword.
While she does that, the two girls then goes into transformation.
Sweet Mint looks at her bracelet and opens it up, revealing a red crystal inside. It then shines. "Parieru Remurin Sweet Mint!" The braclet then transforms into a bow and arrow, with the arrow having a blue crystal tip. She points it straight up in the air, then the arrow sprinkles some dust onto her making her transform.
The heart on top of Kokoro's wand spins around, then it brightens up. Then, she is transforming. It gave her light pink gloves, pink shoes and light-pink thigh high socks, a pink short-sleeve dress and a light pink bow. She then goes into her pose. "Eyes, shoulders and a small butt. Magical Injection! Super Fresh Magical Girl Warrior, Magical Heart!"
"Did she actually just say small butt?" Mito asked in disbelief.
"That's a compliment." Raggedy Ann said.
"I never heard a magical girl say that phrase before." Katy said in disbelief.
"Naa. I don't know about any of them, anyways. Still new to me." Nanachi said.
Sengoku grabbed her sword, turns around and is shocked to see Sweet Mint and Kokoro having transformed into their magical girl form. "Goddamn. Why?"
"Let's go." Sweet Mint said.
Kokoro nodded. They then go and attack Sengoku.
"You're underestimating yourselves." Sengoku then slashes her sword at the air, causing a breeze to form and it's heading towards Sweet Mint and Kokoro.
Sweet Mint used her wand to make the breeze disappear.
"What?!" Sengoku looks pissed.
Kokoro holds her wand in position. "Let's get this overwith." She then shoots out a type of beam to attack Sengoku.
Sengoku blocks the attack with her sword, but is then got attacked from behind. Who attacked her are Mao Onigawara and Misora Tsukishima.
"Thought you guys might come." Katy said.
"We're here to protect you guys, I must say." Misora said.
"I wish Silvie-chan were here, though." Mao said, looking solemn.
"You think your friend might save you all." Sengoku gets up.
"STOP!"
Sengoku turned around and sees Mary, looking determined.
"Look, I know. I bundled up this fear all this time. I didn't realized that until now." Mary sighed. "I think I know what I'm afraid of. I'm afraid of losing Alice. She created me. I'm her imaginary friend. I always fear that she might be lost in the world. I'm there to help her. I do. But now, it seems impossible for me to go back to her now. Well, I might see her eventually, but I still don't like the fact of leaving her alone. Sengoku…I…I don't want you to hurt people anymore. I created you. I created you from that same Curse."
"What? But how?" Nanachi asked.
Mary sighed, then she gotten out syringes.
Nanachi's eyes widened. "You got those from Bondrewd, did you?"
Mary sighed again. "Yes. I did. I didn't got caught by him, but I was curious on what these things are, so I injected myself with one, and I saw that worsest fear I have never imagined. I'm sorry."
Riko's eyes widened. "You couldn't have…"
"So what's the point? You want me to give up?" Sengoku asked.
"No. Be a part of me, and I'll take care of you. Promise." Mary said.
Sengoku is shocked by what Mary had said. She then moves to tears. "You want to do this?"
Mary nodded.
Sengoku then sighed, then looks at Mary. "I will now be yours." She then shines, then she transforms into a card, then it goes to the imaginary friend.
Mary looks at the card. "What is this?"
"Looks like you got a Persona." Morgana came in. "You conquered your fear, and it gave you what it would want you to have: A Persona."
Mary looks at the card for a moment, then sighed. "Well, it seems I did good on my part on saving you guys then, did I?"
Reg goes up to Mary and patted her on the head. "Thank you."
Mary smiled. "No problem, kid."
Lambie McStuffins came into the bar. "It's getting worse."
"What's up?" Katy asked.
Later, they were in the van truck, and Candy was in a hospital bed, with her eyes and mouth still bleeding.
Riko's eyes widened. "The Curse of the Fourth Layer. Bleeding in the orifice."
Reg then got angry. "Who did this to her?"
"We don't know." Katy said.
Nanachi goes to Candy and examines her. "Naa, it seems that a cure is the only way to do this." She turned to Reg. "I did helped Riko there recover from the Curse, so we should do something about this." She then turns to Candy. "But I don't think Shroombears will be an option, though."
"Then what will?" Reg asked.
Nanachi thinks for a moment. "Something that might have the same effect as a Shroombear's liquid."
"Then we go and find that then." Katy said.
"But, problem is, where do we start searching?" Riko asked.
"Good point." Ann said.
"I don't want Candy to suffer from this for long." Hugtan said.
"We do need to help her." Marulk said.
"We might let Lain track down where we should search from something like a cure." Katy said.
Paiman nodded. "That be an idea."
"We might as well go back to base and see where we can locate a cure." Joy said.
"I'm hoping she'll be okay at that time." Reg said.
"Well, she still has a pulse, so she is still okay." Lambie said.
"I'm glad." Reg feels relieved, but still worried all at the same time.
"Let's get back to base." Katy said.
Everyone nodded.
They then drove off. We then see Chigusa Amagasaki watching this, then she grabs out her phone and calls someone.
"Is everything going according to plan?" A voice from the phone asked.
"It seems like it." Chigusa said.
"Good. Ariel has informed me of where the other buffoons might be. Do you want me to call on Cable?"
Chigusa smiled, evilly. "That might be an idea. Do you want me to still act as an Agent to the Meta-Verse Department Agency?"
"No. Ariel wants you back."
Chigusa nodded. "I see then. Well, the Doomsday Apostles will finally arise."
"Oh yes. They will. Soon. And we need Scarlet Armstrong to tell us about how to get the power of the Spiral to Ariel."
"I know. Don't worry. That will go according to plan."
"Let's just hope so." The phone hanged up.
Chigusa looks at the phone for a moment. "Well, time to head out."
Break
Meta-Verse Department Agency
Back at the Meta-Verse Department Agency, in the computer room, we see Lain Iwakura searching for places with a cure that is similar to a Shroombear's Parasitic Water Shroom liquid.
"Any luck?" Katy asked.
"Not yet." Lain answered.
"Just don't take too long. We wouldn't know when our Fairy Mascot friend might die here." Nanachi said.
"I'm still trying. I haven't given up yet." Lain said.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room, we see Mito just pasting around, until she is met by a female.
This female has black hair and light blue eyes. She wears a white long-sleeve shirt, black skirt, pink socks and brown loafers. This is Rikka Takarada.
"You want me?" Rikka asked.
"Yeah." Mito walks to Rikka. "You said you're good at piloting a robotic suit."
"I didn't say that."
"Someone told me you are."
"Well then they're mistaken."
Mito sighed. "Still, I called you here because this might get risky."
"I've been with GRIDMAN before, and I saw something risky. So what is this risk that I needed to know?"
Mito sighed. "It's about the Tesseract."
Rikka looks at Mito for a moment. "The Tesseract?"
Mito nodded. "Someone has pulled it out of New York of 2012 and sent it here into this timeline."
"Have you found out who yet?"
Mito shook her head. "No, not yet."
"And why am I needed?"
"Because I think you might find the Tesseract with me easier then anyone else around."
Rikka thinks for a moment, then sighed. "Fine. I'll go with you. But promise me we won't get killed."
"You have my word."
Rikka nodded. "Then let's try to find this Tesseract then."
Mito nodded.
Meanwhile, back with Lain, she did find something. "Got it."
"What did you find?" Katy asked.
"I did find a serum that contains the Shroombear's healing cure." Lain said.
"Well that's a relief. Where's it at?" Riko asked.
"It is in a lab in Nafrece." Lain said.
"Nafrece? Why there?" Margaret Burton asked.
"Not quite sure." Lain said.
"Whatever it is, at least we found the cure." Katy said.
"Then we head there and get the cure." Morgana said.
"Is it guarded though?" Mirim asked.
"Doesn't appear to be guarded." Lain said.
"So we're just sneaking in there and getting it?" Sosuke asked.
"Pretty much." Katy said.
"Hopefully we don't get caught by anyone." Joy said.
"Somehow I'm questioning this." Sherlock Shellingford said.
"We'll be fine. Don't worry." Katy said.
A female then came in.
This female has dark red hair and blue-green eyes. She wears a white long-sleeve shirt, light blue skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Natalia Grennorth.
"We mostly got ourselves set up for the trip." Natalia said.
"Thank you, Miss Grennorth." Katy nodded, then clapped her hands. "Well then, let's get it over with."
Later, the team then head to the van truck where they see two other females waiting for them.
The first female has blonde hair and black eyes. She wears a pink short-sleeve dress and flip-flops. This is Pollon, aka the Goddess of Hope, daughter of the Sun God, Apollo.
The second female has blonde hair and brown eyes. She wears a black long-sleeve shirt, black thigh-high socks and brown loafers. This is Kana Suouin.
"Well, I see the Goddess of Hope is joining us." Katy said.
"Well, I thought about not coming, but then, I feel like I should come." Pollon said.
Katy nodded. "Just don't slack off, okay?"
Pollon nodded. "Don't you worry. I won't."
Katy nodded, acting like Pollon might actually be lying.
Mint C. then came to them, while holding her stuffed bear, Choco. "Well, I'm ready now."
Katy nodded. "Then let's go and find that cure."
Mint C. nodded.
New York
Meanwhile, in New York, we see three females just walking around.
The first female has red hair and brown eyes. She wears a burgundy shirt with white short sleeves, red checkered skirt, black almost-to-the-knee socks and brown loafers. This is Kazumi Asakura.
The second female has brown hair and blue eyes. She wears the same uniform as Kazumi. This is Akira Okouchi.
The third female has blond hair and blue eyes. She wears the same uniform as Akira and Kazumi, albeit wearing black thigh-high socks. This is Evangeline A.K. McDowell.
"What are we looking for again?" Kazumi asked.
"We are looking for some sort of artifact known as the Tesseract. But so far, we're not finding it." Evangeline said.
"Does anyone know what the Tesseract does?" Akira asked.
"I haven't found anyone that knows how the Tesseract works yet." Evangeline replied.
They then are stopped by a male that walked right in front of them.
This male has jet black hair that is pulled back in a low ponytail and his face is framed with center-parted bangs that extend to his chin and black eyes. He wears a gray forehead protector, black long-sleeve cloak, bandages around his ankles and gray sandals. This is Itachi Uchiha.
"Excuse me, but we have important business to attend to." Evangeline said.
"Well, I'm afraid your business ends here and now." Itachi then grabs out shurikens and sets them on fire, then throws them at the three.
"Get down!" Evangeline said.
The three then ran for it, with the shurikens hitting the ground and exploding all at once. Itachi then ran towards the three.
"I'll stop him." Evangeline then turned around and flew towards Itachi, to which they had a fist fight with each other.
Itachi got the upper hand, however, as he managed to grab Evangeline and throw her to a nearby building. She got thrown into a diner, to which the people there screamed and tried to get out of the building.
"Dammit." Evangeline gets up.
Itachi gets into the diner.
"What is it that you want?" Evangeline asked.
"To stop you from getting the Tesseract." Itachi said.
"You have the Tesseract?" Evangeline asked.
Itachi then charges into the diner and at Evangeline, to which she grabs out her ice sword and blocks Itachi ninjutsu attack.
Suddenly, a water portal came out of nowhere and it seems that Akira has gotten through it and grabs Evangeline. "We have to get out of here."
"Like right now?" Evangeline asked in disbelief.
"We don't have much of a choice." Akira said.
Evangeline looked at Akira for a moment, then sighed. "Fine." She then kicks Itachi in the crotch.
Akira then takes Evangeline out of the diner through the water portal, then it closes.
Itachi recovers from the kick, and just stares at where Evangeline was. Her eyes then turned blue, revealing that he might be possessed by someone.
Nafrice
Meanwhile, the Meta-Verse Agents have made it to the lab and they've gotten out of the van truck.
"This is getting a little easier than I thought." Bo Dennis said.
"Well, there might be a booby trap." Gruier Serenity points out.
"Well, watch out for the booby trap then." Willa Caterpillar said.
They then got into the lab, where it was very dark.
"We need light for the subject." Minky Momo then grabs out her wand and makes a light out of it.
They then go to search for the cure. They then found a table with vials in them.
"One of these has to be the Shroombear's liquid." Katy said.
Nanachi goes to the table to see which vial it is. She then notices the purple liquid. "This one is it." She grabs the vial off the table. "This is it."
"Well, nothing else here to do. Let's go." Margaret said.
"Oh, that won't be necessary."
They turned around and saw a mysterious man behind them.
This man wears a black helmet with a straight violet line on the face of the helmet and wears a black long-sleeve shirt, black gloves, black pants and black boots. This is the Sovereign of Dawn, Bondrewed the Novel.
Nanachi's eyes widened at the sight of Bondrewd. "Bondrewed…?"
"Why are you here?" Reg asked, looking shocked.
"Oh, you see, I've planned this arrival for you." Bondrewd said.
"Told you it's a booby trap." Gruier said.
"Yeah, I don't like it." Willa said.
"Who is it that you're after?" Katy has a determined look on her face.
"Oh, it isn't who I'm after. Anything and everything has to have some meaning in life, right? You can't say I'm after something, because I'm just seeing what unfolds here." Bondrewd said.
"I thought we were done with you back in the 5th Layer." Nanachi said.
"True. But you know I'm still peeking into your vision." Bondrewd said.
"I already knew that." Nanachi looks annoyed.
"And how is that mask fixed? We broke it." Reg said.
"True you broke it, though not fully broken, someone was willing to fix it for me." Bondrewd said.
"And who's that?" Nanachi asked.
"The Sorcerer Supreme." Bondrewd said.
ID-3 Hoihoi-san's eyes widened. "Sinister Strange."
"Yes." Bondrewd nodded.
"There is someone we need to save, and we can't just stand here all day." Joy said.
"Oh, I'm afraid I can't let you go. You will be with me, so I can accomplish much more than what was given to me back in the Abyss." Bondrewd said.
"Like hell you're gonna do that." Mary then changes into her fire form and she flies and starts using her fire powers at Bondrewd.
Bondrewd managed to resist the attack. "You're very mere. Sparagmos." A beam of light came out of the helmet.
Mary then dodges the Sparagmos, with it hitting the ceiling instead.
"I'm under the impression that he's trying to kill us." Katy grabs out her Big Impact Gun and shoots it at Bondrewd, to which he also resisted that as well. "Oh come on!"
"You seem determined to stop me. I'll tell you one thing. It doesn't end well." Bondrewd shook his head. "It never ends well."
Mint C. then takes control of Choco, then she makes the stuffed bear attack Bondrewd, to which he punches the stuffed bear away from him. "Choco!" She ran to her stuffed bear.
"My, my. You seem to have a lot of fight in you. I'm impressed." Bondrewd said.
"Dammit. This guy is a bitch." Mary turns into her water form and uses water on Bondrewd.
Bondrewd stood his ground, not being pushed away by rushing water. "This is a great show. How thoughtful of you to even show me your strength and determination."
"Is he like this all the time?" Bo asked.
"That's how he is." Nanachi said.
"I'm not liking it." Bo said.
"Bondrewd is merciless. He's nothing but a murderer. Experimented on children for his own research." Nanachi said.
"Yeah, I've met worse before." Bo said.
Kana grabs out talismans and she makes them turn into paper cranes, then they fly at Bondrewd and they attack by just simply pecking him.
"I think your ability needs a little work." Bondrewd then aims at the cranes. "Shaker." He shoots darts out of his wrist and it kills off some of the cranes.
And with that, Momo then got shot by one of the darts of Shaker. It did hit where her heart is.
Reg's eyes widened. "MOMO!"
Momo just stared at everyone for a moment. "Save yourselves…" She then falls down to the floor.
"Oops. My mistake." Bondrewd said.
Reg gets angry. "You bastard. I'll make you PAY FOR THAT!" He then charges at Bondrewd.
"Reg! Don't be reckless!" Katy shouted.
Reg fights Bondrewd off with his extendable arms.
Bondrewd keeps dodging every one of his attacks. "This reminds me of the old days where we fought each other. I was hoping we would do a rematch." He then charges at Reg and punches him in the face, sending him to a nearby table.
"Reg!" Riko shouted.
Bondrewd walked towards Reg. "You seem very weak now. Wanna tell me why?"
Reg gets up. "I'm not weak."
"Hm?" Bondrewd just said.
Reg then charges at Bondrewd again and fights him off again. But then, a female came crashing into the lab.
This female has pink hair and brown eyes. She wears a golden tiny crown, purple and pink short-sleeve dress and black thigh-high boots. This is Oda Nobunaga.
"Oh, so you decided to show up and show me what you're made of, huh? Interesting. I would love to see that." Bondrewd said.
"Oh you're about to get it when I'm through with you." Nobunaga then grabs out her sword and she charges at Bondrewd, engaging in combat with him.
Bondrewd blocks every of Nobuanaga's attacks. "Seems like you need a little work." He punches her in the stomach, pushing her a few feet away from him.
"Hey!" Reg ran to Nobunaga. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Nobunaga turns to Reg. "Get everyone out of here. I'll deal with this guy here."
Reg just stared at Nobunaga for a moment, then nodded. He then turns to the others. "We have to go!"
Everyone except Nobuanaga nodded, then they followed Reg out of the building. Mirim just stood there in her battle stance.
"So, you decided to stay. How fortunate." Bondrewd said.
"I'm doing this for a reason." Mirim then slashes her Hyper Vibration Sword at the air, blowing the air at Bondrewd.
Bondrewd then resisted the Hyper Vibration Sword's wind attack. "Sparagmos." He shoots out the beam.
Mirim gets out of the way of the Sparagmos, which causes a machine in the back of the room to catch fire.
"Oh crap!" Nobunaga runs to Mirim. "We're getting out of here!"
Mirim nodded, then they got out of the building.
Bondrewd just stared at the door. "You will come back to me soon. I just know it."
Outside, everyone has gotten into the van truck.
"Where's Mirim, ooba?" Flandre asked.
Katy sees that Mirim is not with them. "Ai yai yai. Did she just stay back there?"
"Then we need to get her out of there." Riko said.
"Not necessarily."
Nobunaga and Mirim ran to the van truck.
"Mirim!" Riko said.
"Get us out of here, now!" Nobunaga said.
"Got it, ooba." Flandre said.
Nobunaga and Mirim then get into the van truck, then Reg closed the door. Flandre then drove the van truck away from the lab, to which it exploded right after they left.

Hours later, in sick bay, Candy was resting after being given the cure. She then wakes up, then sees Katy, Emily, Reg, Riko, Nanachi and Lambie there.
"Oh Candy!" Emily hugs Candy.
"Emily…" Candy then hugs Emily.
"It worked." Reg sighed in relief.
"Just be glad we made it." Katy said.
Hugtan then came into the room. "Seems like she is saved. I'm glad."
Nanachi nodded. "I am happy that she is safe too."
Candy nodded.
Meanwhile, in the meeting room with Kiki Caterpillar and Koko Caterpillar, they are visited by a cat girl.
This cat girl has periwinkle hair which is tied up into a high ponytail with a turquoise ribbon, which comes to about neck length and amber eyes. She wears a silver bell around her neck, white and blue short-sleeve dress, white gloves, white almost-to-the-knee socks and pink ruby shoes. This is Cinnamon.
"You got something to report to us. Say it now." Koko said.
Cinnamon nodded. "It's about the Tesseract."
Kiki's eyes widened. "The Space Stone."
Cinnamon nodded.
"Dang it. It's here, is it?" Koko asked.
"I'm afraid so." Cinnamon said.
Koko thinks for a moment. "Find out what you can on the Space Gem."
"Yes." Cinnamon nodded, then she walked out of the room.
"What do we do?" Kiki asked.
Koko looks into space for a moment. "We tell them."
If You Could Only See by Tonic
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me
Well you got your reasons
And you got your lies
And you got your manipulations
They cut me down to size
Sayin' you love but you don't
You give your love but you won't
If you could only see the way she loves me
Then maybe you would understand
Why I feel this way about our love
And what I must do
If you could only see how blue
Her eyes can be when she says
When she says she loves me

In this reality, we see a 1993 incarnation of Minky Momo waking up, she looks around and wonders what has happened to her. She remembers being shot at by Bondrewd and dying. She realized that she was revived yet again, making it her fourth time being revived. She then sees a sword in a display case of a museum. She walks to the sword, curious about it.
"Are you worthy enough of carrying the Ebony Blade?"
Momo turns around.
Next time: The Tesseract
And that's a wrap! Four more chapters to go now before this arc will end. And yes, I was willing to keep Minky Momo alive for another incarnation, since I might as well do what the canon show did. And yes, I am sorry if I didn't even have her animal companions come while in the form she was in before she was killed off by Bondrewd the Novel. And yeah, it was more like A Fairy Mascot Missing and not A Precure Missing, but she was Cure Candy, so it counts. Next time, another Infinity Gem chapter featuring the Tesseract, as the Meta-Verse Agents are now wondering how the Tesseract even came into the Meta-Verse reality. But, a darker, sinister force wants the Tesseract for extinctional purposes.
See you all in the next chapter of Meta-Verse.
