Miki was running for her life, holding the head of Nanao Kashima, who was decapitated by Iroha Yabu, an android from Real Ninja. To make matters worse, the ninjas work for Satoko Hojo AND Ritsu Tainaka.

Miki found a building, and then went in the back door. She whimpered, "My god… That woman with the golden Stand… She's a psychotic mess." She whispered, "Oh, Nanao… I'm sorry that this happened to you. Where are the rest of The Gang, when you need them?"

She was trapped, as she held the head. She sniffled, "Ri-san… Kurumi… Yuki-senpai… Where are you?"

Hayuki and Tsubame stared down at Percival and Sailor Mars, as Mars said, "You sure about this? The effects I get are temporary, right?"

"Yes… but try not to use it too much…"

"How so? Wait… I'm curious, how do you activate it?"

Tsubame said, "Not that it matters, but you are finished, anyways. 1949, attack!"

1949 yelled, "ROGER THAT!" It charged at them, as Hayuki yelled, "GO, Southern Filth!"

Sailor Mars nodded, "You just wait… Crap! What are the words?"

POW!
Gale Breaker appeared and blocked the attack. Percival started, "Kid, you better practice the courage."

Tsubame gasped, "He's a Stand User?!"

Hayuki barked, "Impossible! Southern Filth, destroy him!"

Percival leapt up and called, "GO, GALE BREAKER! TEMPEST HURRICANE!"

It swung its arms up and produced a huge tornado. It swept off Southern Filth, and spun around in the cyclone. "NO!" Hayuki cried. She suddenly went dizzy, "Unnnngh… So many… dervishes…"

Tsubame growled, "1949, crush! Kill! Maim! Stop that wind user!"

1949 called, "Son, you're in a world of hurt! You will be sent home to your MAMA IN A BOX!"

"HEY, SOLDIER! DISCHARGE THIS! FIRE…" She shot fire at 1949, "SOUL!"

Soldier 1949 was blasted, as it screamed, "I! AM! ON FIRE! FIRE, FIRE, FIRE! HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" It rolled around, as Tsubame groaned, "Ugh… I lose more soldiers, that way."

Percival called, "If you're done with the theatrics, you better come along quietly. Or… We can do this, the hard way."

Hayuki snarled, "Is he mocking us?"

Tsubame said, "Screw this! Hayuki, take care of the Sailor Scout. This guy's mine!"

Sailor Mars asked, "What now? I can't see his Stand…"

"Concentrate…" He said, "We have had bad scraps before… But we're not giving up."

She replied, "Yeah… But I hope you keep your promise of our battle."

"I won't forget."

They prepared to fight off the two Real Ninjas. Chazz is going after Iroha, who is heading upstairs to the 5th floor.

Chazz called, "No, you don't, Robo-Skirt!"

Iroha said, as she beeped, "Selfish human. You obviously are a nuisance, more than a threat."

"You deal with me now, R2-Double-D2!" He leapt over the railing and blocked her path, "The Chazz isn't one to let you do bodily harm to his allies."

"You are in my way. Disperse."

"Go to hell, tin can!" He ran down and struck at her exposed face. She felt it, but beeped, "You are lucky that my face can feel pain. Unfortunately, the faceplate that broke is meant to simulate pain and touch." She shoved him down and stripped down naked, exposing her chrome jet black metal skin. "As you guess, I am an android, capable of human emotion and pain… but once my skin is shedded, I am no longer emotional and vulnerable. I am all invincible."

She beeped, "Iroha Yabu – IRH-06 Unit."

"Oh, this is just great…" Chazz growled, as he started to fight, "And me without a weapon."

Episode 9 - Chapter 3: The Attack in New York!
Real Ninja Strikes!

Ran was running in the streets of New York, as she was furious. She growled, "Little twerp. How dare she badmouth my name? She will suffer a grander fate than the rest. I don't care if she's worth dirt cheap, she dies."

Ran was gaining on her, as Miki was hiding in a building, far from her. Miki was shaken, as she held Nanao's head. "This is bad… This woman's after me."

She walked to a storehouse and said, "I'll hide here, where it's safe." She entered the door to the storehouse and waited.

Inside, she was surrounded by female mannequins, standing in place. She gasped, "Wait a second… Am I at Casa de Munecas's warehouse? Ran Kuzuryu can't find me… even so, Stand Users draw to each other. I wish I'd never got this power, but I have to defend myself… for her."

Ran was looking around, as she snarled, "Stupid brat! I can't seem to find her. Maybe…" She looked down and started to sense Miki's presence. She called, "Money Cash, examine!"

The Stand examined the ground, and then pointed west. Ran smirked, "Good… Follow her trail."

She was able to pick up Miki's scent.

XXXXX

Iroha beeped, as her skin was replaced with a jet black shell. "Foolish human. Do not get in my way again."

Chazz prepared fighting, using Ojama Star to beat down Iroha with a barrage of punches. Iroha was unaffected, "Silly. Your Stand has no merit. Nothing can be dented on my body. Metro City helps that ability, and lashes at my enemy, twice as much."

POW!
She landed a fierce strike on Chazz and he stumbled down the stairs. He rolled up and started to climb, "You little Terminator!" He tackled her down, but Iroha was still standing. She threw him to the doorway, leading to the 3rd floor.

Iroha's eyes went red, as her speakerbox buzzed, "Okay… Now you are trying my patience, as I am fully functional to repress any physical carnage towards you. But you wanted to stop me? Fine." She spoke in a baritone, "No more Miss Nice Ninja Bot!"

He smirked, "Come and get it, robot! I'll smash your body into bits!"

She charged at him, with a swift dash, and struck with a knee to the face. Chazz blocked the attack and said, "Not bad for a robot. Now take this!"

POW!
"DORARARARARARARARARARARA!"
He landed a swift melee of punches with Ojama Star. Iroha was slightly damaged, but she maintained her balance. She beeped, "Human weapons cannot hurt me. Not even your Stand. Metro City."

Metro City appeared, as Iroha said, "An ability is mine. This armor is that of Metro City. But its key ability comes within." Her aura went green and beeped, smashing the floor. Then it suddenly created a stepping stone from the debris.

"No way… That ability is…"

"Healing Jutsu… or, as I like to call it, Maintenance Jutsu."

"Mainten–! Her moves and abilities are similar to Ojama Star!" Chazz growled, "Shit, she's not messing around. It's like fighting a mirror!"

"Now, do not interfere. Engaging."

"Engage this, freak!" He landed a swift right to her face. She swung hard and knocked Chazz out. Iroha picked him up and said, "Now… You suffer at the hands of Metro City and Real Ninja. I am going to enjoy destroying you…" She powerslammed him into the floor. She used Metro City to trap him inside the wooden floor, using the wooden planks she destroyed.

"You lose." Iroha beeped, "Target has been neutralized. Main objective confirmed. Destroy Mizuki Takase." She zipped off in superspeed and headed to the fifth floor. Chazz groaned, as he was trapped in the wooden floor, "You think you defeated me? Well, guess what Robo-Skirt… The Chazz is always one step ahead…"

The wood started to break apart and free Chazz. The floorboards returned to the floor, mending itself. Chazz Princeton once again uses Ojama Star, freeing himself from another situation.

"Her Stand is the same as my Spirit Caller. Thing is, when you decided to trap me on the floor, Ojama Star punched one of the wooden boards. By the time you leave, I have negated Metro City's ability, and repaired the floor you used to bodyslam me." He stood up, as the floor was mended. "But that stupid android made me lose her. I forgot that Mundy's up there with Mizuki. And if I'm not mistaken…"

He raced off, heading to the 5th floor. "She's going to kill her. I have to hurry, before it's too late. When I see her again, she's dead!"

XXXXX

Iroha arrived at the fifth floor, and then nodded, "Two targets located. Takase and Gooden… Unfortunately, Nanao Kashima's body is already demolished. So, I will handle her scrap parts, after the task."

She bust down the door, and no one was there. Iroha searched, but then she noticed. "Nanao's body. Disappeared. Figures. She has been demolished, and the cleaning staff has already trashed her."

She beeped and searched for both members. Mizuki & Mundy were in Stealth Mode, behind the wall.

"Now what?" He whispered, "If only we could sneak attack her."

"No… If we did, she'd be one step ahead. But still…"

"Look at what she's wearing? No decency to wear clothes, instead of tight-fitting black spandex?"

"I think that's her metallic chrome plating. Her robot skin."

"Robot casing must be the synonym for naked… I bet."

"I'm so confused… Why did Iroha come here to kill us? It made no sense, anymore."

"I know… We were hooked with a bait from this Night Samba, and now we're screwed."

"Maybe not… But I sensed that Percival had the others cornered. But I worry about Naoki & Nanao."

Iroha smashed a table and called, "Come out and be destroyed!"

Mundy growled, "Gah! If we survive, remind me to have Princeton fix this…"

The table started to form a makeshift table with wooden spikes, made with debris. Mizuki gasped, "Did you see that?"

"Oh my god…" He whispered, "She's got Princeton's healing abilities."

"Worse… She can destroy and rebuild into tools. Chazz's ability can only repair anything back to normal. She's a total opposite." She scanned herself and said, "I haven't much power left… Chazz was nice enough to repair me, but I have very little to spare. If I waste all of it, I can no longer function."

Mundy prepared his gun and said, "Then allow me, love. Save your strength."

They left Stealth Mode, as Mundy aimed his sniper rifle, and called, "OI! ROBOT!" He fired, as Iroha deflected each bullet. It flew back to him, using Metro City.

"Now that is not something you see, every day." He ducked, and caught two bullets with his machete. "COME GET SOME!" He bellowed.

She started to punch and kick at him, but he dodged her kick. He swung his machete around, right at her stomach. He screamed, "I can't dent this bugger!" She punted him away, and then she tossed him onto the bed of wooden spikes. He lunged his machete down, and avoided the spikes. He said, as he was shaken, "Gah! I think I'm starting to miss January." She dashed at him, but using his machete, he spun and landed a kick to the skull. Iroha stayed in place, as Mundy held up a pistol. He fired at her body with six shots. But they were deflected off her body. He growled, "If bullets won't harm her, then there has to be a way…"

Iroha said, "Human weaponry cannot hurt IRH-06."

"Oh, yeah?" He grinned, "HIEROPHANT SNIPER!" His sniper rifle shone, and he fired at her with an endless barrage of sniper bullets. Iroha was pushed back, nearly dented, "Error… Stand Power detected. Confirmation: Mundy Gooden is a Stand User."

"Hit the nail right on the head, love." He smirked, "And by the way, HEADS UP!"

Iroha looked up, and a grenade fell to her head. It exploded, as Mundy hissed, "It isn't over… Not by a long shot, mate." The smoke cleared, and Iroha was still in place, covered in soot.

"That… was uncalled for." Iroha beeped.

Mizuki whispered, "That damned robot… NOTHING breaks her?"

Mundy fired again, but Iroha was still in place. She said, "Cease your foolish attempts, human. Seriously, stop it!"

Mizuki called, "Hold your fire!" She said to her, "It's me you want."

"Love, you can't fight her. You lost to her."

"I know… But I refuse to let this stand. Iroha Yabu, this isn't you!" She pleaded, "Why are you programmed this way? You're a robot, right?"

"So are you… MZK-09."

She gasped, as Iroha said, "Dr. Ryuken's prized pupil… or rather, prized android…"

"I'm not a robot. I'm human, like the others. I was given this power, because of a pure heart! And it's not because I converted."

"Surely that is all true, but that may affect your DNA. Your Robot Gene is the reason why you are who you are, right now. You belong to robotkind."

"I'm for mankind! The doctor only made me control the robot part of me! Precious Stones are uncontrollable, unless trained thoroughly. But you… You, of all people, question my existence, because you wanted us dead, all for Night Samba and Satoko Hojo, do you?"

Iroha said, "I do not remember. Besides, that part of me is erased."

"I could tell. But before I give you a beating, I have questions about Euphoria." She said, "Are you a product of Euphoria, or just a victim of it?"

"I am simply supporting Real Ninja. The Euphoria Company only hired us to transport the product."

"Thought so. Now… I have one more question. Do you know your boss, Satoko Hojo?"

Iroha responded, "Satoko… Hojo… Data not found. I do not remember."

Mizuki grinned, "Thought so." She roared, "WEDDING MOMO!" She produced her Stand and said, "I got all the answers… but I think it's time for this bad girl to be taught a lesson!" Momo struck down and called, "I am sorry, Iroha, but bad robots need a spanking! Wedding Momo is very displeased!"

Iroha called, "Suffer!"

They clashed, as Momo said, "Iroha Yabu! I will not let you hurt her, a second longer. NOT FOR WHAT YOU DID!"

POW!
Iroha was punched in the chest, but no damage was made. Mizuki growled, "It's not working…"

Iroha shoved her down, but Mizuki struck back, "CUT THE CAKE! BLADE!" Iroha caught the blade, and Mizuki smirked, "Gotcha!"

BLAST!
She fired a laser shot from her hands, pushing Iroha back, into the wall. It destroyed the wall, and Iroha stood up. Metro City used the debris and created a force field with the hovering debris. Iroha beeped, "My turn."

She tossed the debris towards Mizuki, but Wedding Momo smashed the debris back. Mizuki was panting, as Mundy thought, "I don't like the looks of this… Mizuki's tiring out."

Iroha responded, "Lucky shot. But you're not going to live that long."

XXXXX

Outside, Sailor Mars was fighting Hayuki, as she said, "Unleash your Stand, Sailor Trash!"

Mars nodded, but then said, "I have to use it, but…"

Hayuki unleashed Southern Filth, "SOUTHERN FILTH! GRAB THAT ITEM FROM HER AND SMASH IT TO BITS!"

Zing! THUD!
A rose flew at her. It was Tuxedo Mask and HIS Stand. He called, "Thanks to the magic of these devices, we can summon Stands of our own. YOU… You won't try to ruin the surprise."

Hayuki growled, "No way… how can you have a Stand, too?"

"It's only to summon in battle. Unlike Stand Users created or born, we can unleash it. Sailor Mars, say Stand Power, Makeup!"

"I knew that!" Mars said, "By the way, nice Stand."

Hayuki jeered, "Nice Stand… BAH! I'LL SMASH YOU, BEFORE YOU EVEN SUMMON IT, BITCH!"

A fiery aura emerged, and Mars called out, "Wrong answer, bitch!" She held her hand out and yelled, "MARS STAND POWER! MAKEUP!"

Her Stand appeared, in the reflection of Sailor Mars, only in red and purple attire. Sailor Mars called, "I am Sailor Mars! And this is my Stand!" The Stand spoke, "Keeper of the red planet, Mars, the planet of fire! I am the keeper of Sailor Mars – BURNING MARS!" She posed, "And now, to avenge and honor those you have taken, for the lives of Sailor Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter, in the name of Mars…" They posed, "WE'LL CHASTISE YOU!"

Percival smirked, "Well, I'll be…"

Tsubame growled, "Shit, it does work! HAYUKI, STOP HER!"

Hayuki yelled, "GRAAAAAAAAAAH! DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" She armed herself with a chain and sickle, and Southern Filth ran at Burning Mars.

"Mars Celestial Fire – Surround! BURNING… MANDALA!" The Stand did Sailor Mars' Burning Mandala attack, firing 7 orbs of flames at her target. Southern Filth was caught in the flames, and Hayuki growled, "HOW DID WE NOT EXPECT THIS?" She boomed, erasing the flames, "ENOUGH!"

Hayuki hollered, "YOU'RE GONNA DIE! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Southern Filth punched the ground, and Sailor Mars started to slip on the ground. She landed on her hands, but they were sinking in. "What?"

"HAH! Fooled you, didn't I?" She swept her down on the ground, slamming her face into the ground. Hayuki pushed her face to the ground, "I WIN! You think this new power of yours can stop me? In the end, you underestimated me, bitch! IT'S OVER!" She swung down. But Mars caught her hand. She gasped, "HUH?"

Mars was behind her, as she said, "Rin, pyou, tou, sha, kai, jin, retsu, zai, ZEN!" She held her ofuda and chanted, "Akuryo Taisan!"

Hayuki gasped, "Wait… That's… That's Sailor Mars!"

WHACK!
The ofuda was slammed into her face, as Mars shouted, "WRONG! That's my Stand!"

She kicked her chin and said, "Your only mistake… was trying to make me suffocate!"

Hayuki groaned, "HOW? How did that magical girl know of my Stand? Don't tell me… Did she use her Stand ability to switch places?"

Burning Mars was freed. She said, "No. She is a living organism, while I am an artificial one. However, the resemblance is uncanny. So…" She showed herself with a white sailor fuku, and reverted to her normal attire – red and purple. Hayuki yelled, "I WAS HAD!"

Mars held her hand out and called, "BURNING MARS! Your services will be needed, real soon. NOW WATCH CLOSELY!" She fired a burning arrow of fire, as does Burning Mars.

"MARS! FLAME SNIPER!"

They fired, and Hayuki was blasted with a huge fireball. She was burned to a crisp and her eyes went white. She croaked and Southern Filth vanished.

"Hayuki!" Tsubame gasped.

Mars smirked, "Don't underestimate us, Real Ninja… Or you just might get broiled."

Percival smirked, "Now, it's your turn…"

Tsubame growled, "You bastards…"

Hayuki Miza is defeated, thanks to Sailor Mars. But now comes Tsubame Shiranui and her Stand, 1949.

Ran finds a building. She said, "From what Money Cash picked up, she went that way."

She walked to the door and easily opened it. She responded, "The enemy is Miki Naoki, and she is a supporter of the Freelancers. She used to be a follower to MIO, and was a member of the Gaoka Clan. Well, my pretty little traitor… You will pay for knowing your place, not that it matters to me, anyways."

She peered around the storehouse and said, "Sure is dark in here." She held her fist up and snapped her fingers. A flash of light is shown, and Ran sees a clear path from the dark. "Done. This way… Plus, dirt is nearby. She's close."

Her eyes lit up, showing green emerald color, and lit like flashlights. "Come out, come out, wherever you are."

Ran walked past a couple mannequins and said, "Oh… kay… Creepy…" She held herself and muttered, "Still… This place gives me the creeps. So many mannequins… I feel like I'm in Today's Special."

She scanned the area and responded, "Good… She's located due northwest from here. And with that head she procured, she isn't that far. Real Ninja wants her dead, likewise Satoko Hojo."

Miki was far away, as she saw the light in her eyes. Miki thought, "Wait a second… Those eyes are like cats… What is she? I have to protect Nanao… Before she gets me."

She crawled behind a crate and Ran walked to the crate. She turned around and walked off. Miki sighed, but then…

"SURPRISE!" Ran jumpscared her, and Miki shrieked. She dashed off, as Ran chased after her, "GET BACK HERE!"

Miki took a sharp left, and then dove into a portal. Ran stopped, as Miki ran to the other side, avoiding her sight.

"Oh, you… Using your Stand won't save you, this time!" She chased after her, "This is where you die, traitor!"

Miki hid in another room and barricaded herself inside. She whispered, "This is scary. It's like those monsters again… only it's one gold-changing Stand User. If she finds me…"

She imagines herself as a gold statue. Ran grins evilly, and then snaps her fingers. Miki melted into gold coins.

Miki panicked, "Noooooooooo! If I let her get me, she wins. What happened to Suou-san and the three Sailor Guardians, I have to act. Ran Kuzuryu's evil…"

Ran sighed, as she went to another room. She looked inside a closet and said, "Good… She's still inside. And already a pain in my ass." She saw a woman inside, completely gold. It was Sailor Moon. She was turned into a gold statue.

"Money Cash's Gold Bond… The permanent kind of gold standard." She held up some golden shells, and said, "Sailor Moon came to me, quickly, before we arrived… but this cocky princess won't live to see another day. Sailor Moon, now a princess in my golden collection…" She grinned demonically, "And the appraisal… $200,000 in a price that is so powerful and strong! I cannot believe I found the richest prize in this multiverse! Two hundred grand, and to sell her body for that high price… More girls I keep, I'll make a fortune! Hot shit, I'm so awesome!"

She cackled, as Miki sobbed, "No… Sailor Moon… It can't be…"

Ran turned around, and Miki vanished. She growled, "Someone is here… That little twerp." She looked around the doorway and said, "I thought I heard her…" She went outside and looked around, but to no luck. She growled, as she slowly stepped back in. She sighed and said, "Must be my imagination… Also, the brat fled, but she cannot hide for long."

Miki was lying in wait, as she growled, "Come closer, you monster…" She was about to spring a trap. But then…

"Mi-kun!" Yuki's voice called, "Mi-kun!"

"Huh? That…"

Yuki Takeya appeared from the doorway, far away from Ran, and called, "Never mind her, Mi-Kun! Follow me!"

Miki struggled, but she whispered, "Grr… I have to subdue her… If I run, she may catch me…"

Yuki beckoned to her, "This way… I'm sorry you cannot fight, but we'll take it from here…"

It was Yuki's ghost, as Miki went to her. Yuki dashed off, as Miki whispered, "Ah! Wait!"

Ran heard footsteps, and then loaded a pistol with her gold bullets. Ran smirked, "Wait here, Sailor Moon… You're about to meet some company."

She snuck behind Miki and grinned, "Money Cash…" It held up a gold coin and waited. Yuki said, "Hurry…"

Miki said, "Yu–, Yuki-senpai, what are you–?"

"Shh!" She whispered, "This way… Hurry… We may lose her."

They took a sharp left, and Ran cackled, "How pathetic…" She turned to the corner and said, "A dead end. I know the building on the map… It's too bad. You're trapped like a–!" She gasped, "Huh?"

Miki was gone, as Ran seethed, "She… She disappeared?!" She felt the walls and roared, "Where are you… WHERE ARE YOU?" She hollered, "NAOKI!" She smashed the walls with her fists. Blood started to pour out, as she was cut. "Damn her! I don't know what you're planning, but…"

She scanned the building and said, "I see… The only available room is down the basement. I can still make it, heading to the basement door…" She sighed, "Aw… And it's five feet away…"

She sighed and grumbled, "Pathetic girl. She'll get hers." She went down the stairs to the basement.

Miki was in the basement, as Yuki's spirit said, "It's alright. She won't be far…"

"What's going on here? Why are you a ghost?"

Yuki said to her, "Sorry… But I'm not really Yuki…" She changed into a pink-haired zombie in a blue dress. Miki gasped in fright, as the zombie spoke, "It's me… Z Country."

"Huh? Her Stand?!"

"Follow me… Hurry!" She held her hand and said, "Please, this way…"

They raced to the small room, and she saw the three mannequins of Yuki, Yuuri, and Kurumi. Miki whispered, "No… Why?"

Z Country said to her, "It's alright. They're sleeping. The Grave, Morning Death, and I sometimes play at night, while these girls are mannequins. A little magic that our tall friend here did. I never felt so alive."

Miki asked, "Wait… Just what is going on here?"

Morning Death said, as she appeared, "I'm afraid that you came here, and this blonde android has you cornered."

Miki asked, "Android?"

The Grave appeared and said to her, "She's an android from Real Ninja, a faction made by Obnubi… We don't know much, but we heard about their whereabouts, since most of their members moved on to bigger things."

Miki said, "An android… Then… They're all–."

Z Country said, "They're not all robots, Miki. Some are human, though they harbor Stand powers… like us."

"Then, why is she after me? Could they also be responsible for the Euphoria deal?"

"By the looks of it, yes. Satoko Hojo, she was the leader. But we know what goes on, when we see them…" Morning Death said, "Their boss… She's a Stand User, too… And they all represent Real Ninja."

Z Country replied, "And that's why… We wanted to help you, Miki Naoki…"

"Help me? Why?"

The Grave said, "Apparently, we cannot be awakened, until they decide to revive our masters… So, we figure we give you a portion of our soul… Miki, the powers of Four Weeks, Z Country, The Grave, and Morning Death… combined in one, makes a powerful Stand that can stop enemies on their tracks."

Miki asked, "Wait… Combine? How can I? You girls are mannequins now… I can't be a mannequin, too."

Morning Death said, "We never said you would. All you need is our souls… and we'll be with you, always… You were these girls' friend. And you chose to start your own life… You deserve much better, until they return."

Miki was worried, as she stated, "Yuki… Ri-san… Kurumi… I know it is you, speaking with your Stands. I can't take your souls. If I do, you won't live again… What if I die, like you guys? I just can't, after everything we've done… But promise me, we have to help The Gang, in any way. Their ally is a head now, and I'm scared… This android wants my body as coins…"

Z Country smiled, "I understand… Maybe we can help…"

It hugged Miki and said, "And just so you know… I forgive you for killing me. It was… for the best… Even for Miss Takeya."

Miki gasped, as she recognized that voice, "M-M-Megu-nee?"

A coin suddenly rolled by in a clink. The coin fell to her feet, and Ran crawled on the wall, as she turned her head in a robotic whir. "Gotcha."

Miki shivered, "No way… She's a robot…"

"No shit, shit." Ran hopped down and smirked evilly, "Now, no miracle can save you… Question: Now that you know my horrible secret and your hiding place, what can you do now? Surrender to me and turn into melted gold, fight me and prepare for your utter death, or do you choose to run away? Either way, you won't leave alive…"

Miki shivered, "I'm… I'm not afraid of you…"

Z Country whispered, "This is bad… Miss Takeya… Miss Yuuri… Miss Ebisuzawa… Wake up… Please… Wake up and save them…"

The Grave said, "NO! We cannot! Z Country! No, Miss Sakura… You only came back, because you never wanted to leave Yuki…"

Megu-nee sobbed, "But… If I don't hurry, Miss Naoki will–."

"You never met her, only she killed you in cold blood, wanting to avenge the fallen…" The Grave protested, "The shovel that she held… Miki held… that killed you… Miss Sakura… Don't let her die by that thing."

Megu-nee whimpered, as she sniffled, "I… I don't know…"

Miki hollered, "I don't know what is happening, but no android won't ruin everything! FOUR WEEKS!" Her Stand emerged, as Megu-nee sniffled, "That's… Taromaru…"

The dog-like Stand prepared, as Ran snarled, "So, final combat, it is… Money Cash!" She held her gun and said, "Take some gold from within you and hand it to me!" She loaded the gold inside. She thought, as Miki charged forward, "If I can't hurt her… maybe her little mannequins will. Sacrifices must be made, when collateral damage is made! TRY AND AVOID THIS!"

BANG!
She fired a gold shot at Miki. She caught the bullet, and then hopped into another portal, and back in the spot. Ran gasped, "She… She took the shot!" She aimed at the mannequins and said, "Alright… Aren't you old enough to even play with dolls? Say goodbye to your Barbies, Skipper!"

She fired at the mannequin of Yuki, and she screamed, "MISS YUKI! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

SMASH!
Yuki's head was destroyed, as she was now a headless mannequin. Ran cackled, "AHHH, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

"M-M-Miss… Yuki…" Miki wept, "No… Why? She's gone… Yuki…" she cried, as the Yuki Mannequin was destroyed.

"One less mannequin, one less friend… I believe that this is what was the fate of Yuki Takeya, isn't that right, Miki?"

BANG! BANG!
She destroyed Ri-san and Kurumi's mannequins, turning them into shards of wood. Miki was shocked, as she was saddened. "How… How could you?"

"You lose…" She aimed her gun at Miki, and she said, "Now, you die… I do enjoy our time together… and killing your traitors is all worth it. Miki Naoki, when are you ever going to learn?"

She bowed her head and sniffled. She giggled, as she was breaking her voice, "You son of a… They gave me solace… and you killed them for no reason at all… I won't forgive you… You… You maniac…"

Ran grinned, "Is that any way to surrender? That's too bad… Goodbye."

BANG!
She missed, as Miki vanished. She appeared from behind and roared, "I HATE YOU!" She kicked her in the head, and she stumbled down to the floor. She kneeled up on one knee and barked, "BITCH!"

She fired her gun, but Miki avoided every shot. Miki yelled, "You'll have to do better than that, Kuzuryu!"

She slammed her down, but Ran barked, "DIE FOR NOTHING, FOOL!"
WHAM!
She hit Miki with the butt of her pistol. Ran threw her to the wall and snarled, "You would attack me… With that teleporting… YOU SHOULD DIE!" She fired her gun, but she was out of ammo. She threw her gun down and tackled on Miki. She started punching her face, "DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE FOR EVERYTHING YOU STOOD FOR, YOU FUCKING BRAT! EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU… IS NOTHING! I AM THE #1 ACE! ME! ME! MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! NO ONE DEFEATS ME! NO ONE BEATS RAN KUZURYU! NOT EVEN A CUNT THAT SURVIVED A ZOMBIE HOLOCAUST! DIE, DIE, DIE!" She stopped, as Miki was out cold.

"Shit… I lost my temper… Still, why did it feel like I lost?!"

Tsubame kneeled to Hayuki and whispered, "No…"

She bowed her head, and Hayuki's face opened, showing LED eyes and a speakermouth.

"A robot?" Mars gasped.

Percival said, "So, you're androids, huh? Should've guessed. Iroha Yabu is a robot, likewise you and Hayuki."

Tsubame growled, "You pathetic waste of freelance space. We were ordered to help push the drug, Euphoria, until you come in and ruin everything."

Percival said, "Last warning! We can do this, the easy way or the hard way. Surrender, or end up like your partner."

She removed her jacket, showing her string bra. She then beeped, as her eyes lit up red, speaking in an electronic voice, "I do not need my obsolete partner, because you reckless lot are heroes. Hayuki and Iroha, they obey one boss, our benefactor, Miss Hojo. I can just finish you off, asshole. No one hurts my friends, and gets away with it."

Mars said, "My god… She's angry."

He said, "I noticed something's wrong here… Iroha is a robot, and controlled to protect Euphoria… Do you know who Satoko Hojo is?"

"Affirmative. She is our benefactor."

"Then… Do you also know Night Samba? We're looking for a Stand, similar to that of an old enemy that created the Moji Mikisa. The one called… Pale Snake."

She grinned evilly, "Pale Snake… Night Samba… Never heard of them. Besides, we only know the knowledge of our leader, Ran Kuzuryu, and the woman that owns us, Satoko Hojo. I am not obligated to respond to your questions properly." She held her gun up and said, "But still…"

BANG!
Sailor Mars was shot in the chest, and Mars was slowly turning to gold. "One last shot…"

Mars gagged, "N-No… My…My body…"

Tsubame said, "Only one bullet to kill the Stand User… I was saving this for you, but she's an annoying pest. Ran gave me the bullet casing, one shell, imbued with the power of Money Cash. Soon, she'll be a pile of gold coins…"

Mars pleaded, "P-Percival… Please… Help… meee–." She reached for him, but she was completely golden and solid, with tears flowing down her eyes.

"Rest in peace, Sailor Mars." She said, "Once we are victorious, Ran Kuzuryu will add you to your collection. As for Perciv–."

"THE ONLY MISTAKE YOU MADE WAS BEING CREATED!"
POW!
He slammed a huge fist to her face, and he was furious, "Dammit… NOW I'M MAD!"

He roared, as he punched and kicked at Tsubame. She beeped, "Beep-Boop, Maggot! 1949!"

The Stand appeared and called, "CHARGE!" It swung its shovel down at Percival, but he kicked it off his hands. He summoned Gale Breaker and began to knee his chest. Tsubame called, "You are foolish! No human or Stand cannot stop military tactics!" She fired up, "Flame Jutsu: Bullet Rain!"

She fired a barrage of raining projectiles. Percival lifted an uppercut in the air, "Flame Upper!" He negated the attack. He took his glasses off and said, "That was your first… AND LAST MISTAKE!"

They exchanged punches and kicks, but Tsubame was overpowering Percival. She hissed, "Give up. Why avenge the fallen, when you could've wanted more for Euphoria? Your wind powers are no match for my might. For I am Tsubame Shiranui, Military Android. How dare you retort me?"

He stepped back, "NO ONE can outsmart me! I will never give in to Satoko Hojo and her damnable drugs! If only you knew pure heroics… This wouldn't be happening!"

Tsubame held up her machinegun, "This is the end for you, old man. You lived a short life, to experience our vision… and in these worlds, you missed out on a lot."

She fired, and he avoided the gunfire. He went behind a wall and said, "You're wrong… I have been through it… All of it. Eleven years, I put up with this fucking hell of an alternate world mind fuck. Eleven goddamn years…"

He remembered his past.
"I fought Chris McLean, when he took the world as his playground, all for Tohru Honda to turn evil, and join the dark side, to where there is no return…
I even witnessed the dark clouds hover over our city, while the Chosen One was absent…
I even learned about a family divided, pitting brother vs. sister…
And even learned more about Armageddon, from deities from the past, reborn from normal psychotic high school girls…
And now, I'm witnessing a drug epidemic, during a pandemic…"

He stepped out and seethed, "But… I was a fool for not correcting the first mistake… All because of one person who created this Moji Mikisa… ONE PERSON, WHO'S AS VILE AND SADISTIC THAN CHRIS MCLEAN, TOHRU HONDA, MIO, ELI AYASE, AND EVERY OTHER VILLAIN I MET, COMBINED!" He faced Tsubame and said, "And that's why I'm not gonna fall to some Army Girl Barbie doll! OR EVEN NIGHT SAMBA! That's why… I'm going to erase my past… walk away from it… AND BURN IT TO THE GROUND!"

Tsubame said, "Very heroic, Percival Gaynes… You have been on the frontlines for so long… But even an old fossil like you can perish through age!" She cried, "1949, ELIMINATE HIM!"

The Stand hollered, "HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Percival said, "My beef isn't with you!"

He swung his arms up and yelled, "GALE BREAKER!" He produced a tornado, as the Soldier braced itself. She sneered, "That wind trick won't work on me. Punish! Perish! And pummel!"

1949 landed a huge missile at the tornado, and it exploded. He hopped up and called, "EAT THIS!" He made another tornado, and Tsubame avoided the tornado. He fired again, but Tsubame shot down with her machinegun, and rocket her way up in the air.

"This is illogical… He will not stop wasting wind on getting to me! The target… He was after…" She thought, "It… It has been me, all along!"

Percival stood on top of a spinning tornado and said, "Look who finally saw through the winds…"

Tsubame was surrounded, as seven tornadoes approached her. She cried, "WHAT? HE PRODUCED SEVEN CYCLONES?!"

"DISSSSSSSSSSSS-MISSED!" Percival hollered, as Gale Breaker launched the cyclones at Tsubame. She was caught in a violent wind, shredding most of her clothes and skin.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Tsubame flew up in the air, as she beeped, "Data not found… Gale… Breaker… How is he…?"

Percival leapt up and prepared one final kick, "I made many mistakes, and I learned to redeem myself of it! I'm not making another mistake again!"

She growled, "The only mistake you ever made… was underestimating me!"

He said, "Oh, am I?" He swung a huge kick, and Tsubame fired at him, point blank. He was shot, but he evaporated into the wind. "A mirage?!"

Percival leapt up from behind and hollered, "NO MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE!"

SMASH!
"TIGER FLYING HEEL KICK!"
DIRECT HIT! Percival landed a huge Tiger Kick to Tsubame's skull. Tsubame fell to the ground, and her head snapped off.

"Mission… faillll… urrrrrrrrrrrr…" Tsubame slurred down and her eyes went black. Two discs appeared from inside her head, likewise Hayuki.

[Tsubame Shiranui – Soldier 1949: RETIRED (Stand Disc removed)]

The winds subsided, and he brushed himself off. He said, "I knew this was all a set-up…" He leaned to Tsubame and grabbed the discs. "So… I could've guessed when I asked who Night Samba was. I would've asked her who Pale Snake was. But since she doesn't know, it's obvious. This Real Ninja faction of gynoids… they're tools for Night Samba. Damn him… Even in death, you never learn, do you, Pucci?"

He turned to a golden stiff Sailor Mars and said, "Even so… the battle is over, but… At what cost?" He then saluted to Tsubame, "Godspeed, you magnificent bitch."

Iroha is about ready to finish her off. She responded, "Now, this is where your mission ends." She pounced onto Momo, shoving her back. Mizuki was helpless, as Iroha grabbed her neck, "You still failed. Even after your newfound battery life… You still lost. I will make sure you never live again." She choked her out, lifting her in the air, and Iroha said, "Submit."

Mizuki tried to break free, but she was losing her strength. "No… Not… again… No… My power… is… fading…"

Iroha responded, "It is game over for you. Mizuki Takase. Soon, I will have completed my objective. And soon, you will be demolished. Your power is fading… All you are is–."

"Sorry, but if anyone's demolished, it's you!"

BAM!
A piece of wood struck Iroha's head. It shattered, as Iroha felt it. She turned to Chazz, "Do you not even know the meaning of giving up? So, be a nice human and do not interfere."

"Oh, there's no need, Robo-Skirt. You say that Mizuki Takase lost. You are correct. She failed to defeat you… but I sure as hell did. I managed to do a little test of my own, using your Metro City Stand. Your powers are that of a mimic to my Ojama Star. That battle we had on the third floor? Well…"

Mizuki gagged, "Chazz… Just run…"

He smirked, "Oh, no… You'd be surprised to see what The Chazz can create. Cast your eyes below."

Iroha looked down, and saw a piece of wood glow. It flew upwards, and it shot right into Iroha's jaw. She was knocked back with fierce speed, and Mizuki was dropped to the floor.

"You guessed it. The piece of ceiling that you destroyed was perfect. OH! And that wall you destroyed, using the plaster as projectiles, well…"

The debris flew towards Iroha, but she avoided it. She griped, "FOOL! You think your Stand can repair anything?"

He said, holding up Iroha's faceplate, "Of course… But you don't need me to think twice about breaking your ugly face in… Besides, I did a little look into your robot face, and it was dented. Found the trouble of why you're going batshit. The dent inside your face really made you lose a lot of memories."

Iroha cried, "GIVE THAT BACK!"

"WITH PLEASURE!" He threw the face high, and Iroha leapt up to catch it. But Mizuki jumped up and cried, "SUCKER! YOU FELL FOR IT!" She socked at Iroha's face. She was dented a bit, as she beeped, "Your puny cyborg fists… Human weapons cannot hurt IRH-06!"

"No… But can Metro City stop this?" Momo reemerged and said, "I don't like broken-down bad androids!" She held up a compact and cried, "Saint Mirior - BRIDAL FLASH!"

A heart shot at Iroha's chest and she screamed, "AAAAAAAAGH!"

Mizuki roared, "THIS IS FOR NANAO! PHYSICAL LIMITER! MZK-09 – ENGAGE!"
WHAM-WHAM-WHAM-WHAM!
"ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA-ORA! ORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Mizuki landed a massive barrage of punches, similar to Peter's onslaught. She lambasted Iroha, and she fell to the ground, in a groan.

"How… could I… looooooooooooooooo…" Iroha powered down and was defeated.

Mizuki stayed in place and steam hissed out of her body. She dropped to one knee, and responded, "The three of us, together… con… gratula… tions…" She collapsed and passed out.

"MIZUKI!" Mundy ran to her, as Chazz said, "DON'T GO NEAR HER!"

Ssssss!
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Mundy's hand burned, as Chazz huffed, "Moron…"

"The bloody hell? She's overheated herself!"

"I know… She used everything to stop Iroha."

Mizuki moaned, as she asked, "Did… Did I win?"

Mundy chuckled, "Eh-heh-heh-heh…" He laughed, as Chazz smiled, "Once you're cooled off, we'll repair the both of you." He looked around, and then asked, "Hold on… Aren't we forgetting something?"

Mundy looked, but he saw Iroha's head. It produced two discs, the same discs Ritsu gave her. "OI! Princeton, look at this!"

Chazz gasped, "My god…"

Iroha Yabu was finally defeated, though she was saved from being demolished.

Nanao's headless body was heading to the same building as where Ran and Miki are.

But where on earth is the body going?
