At S.T.O.R.A.G.E., Yuka is in the lab looking at live feed of cleaning crews and Sevenger collecting Ashuran's remains. "Aw, I hoped it would be intact." Yuka lamented the loss of potential alien research material.
"I'm home!" Yoko announces her arrival.
"Yoko!" Yuka perks up and turns to Yoko. "Did you find where the duplicate Sevenger and Windom signals came from?"
"Well…" she steps aside to show Windom and Sevenger waving at Yuka.
"Hello." Windom greeted politely.
"Hi…" Sevenger squeaked shyly.
"This is Windom and Sevenger… or so they call themselves." Yoko introduces Yuka to them. "Windom, Sevenger, this is Ohta Yuka: S.T.O.R.A.G.E.'s lead scientist."
"Hello, Ohta-san. I am Shirogane Reika, and this is my sister, Nana." Windom further introduces her and her sister.
"Eh? But they're just cosplayers!" Yuka said doubtfully.
"That's what I thought, but I saw them bounce around Ashuran like bullets before this one finished him off with a Laser Shot." Yoko puts her hand on Windom's shoulder.
"How did you do that?!" Yoko asked them excitedly.
"We're Kaiju Girls: humans with the power of kaijus." Windom explained.
"Amazing! Where did you get your powers?" Yuka asked them excitedly.
"Well, uh…" Windom drones as Sevenger waddles away to the window. "They kinda just… happened." She shrugged.
"Happened?" Yoko asked.
"We woke up one day, and suddenly we have kaiju powers." Windom explained. "Girls like us go to the International Kaiju Rescue and Mentoring Organization, also known as GIRLS." She added as she presents her phone. "They help us control our powers with the Soulriser, or we'll rampage uncontrollably."
"I've never heard of Kaiju Girls or GIRLS. If it's an international organization, G.A.F. and S.T.O.R.A.G.E. would know about them." Yoko commented, sounding doubtful at Windom's claim.
"Sister! Sister! Look at this!" Sevenger called to Windom joyfully as she tiptoes at the window.
They gather at the window to see a hangar containing the real Windom under maintenance. "It's me!" Windom noted.
"And Sevenger is here, too!" Sevenger pointed to the real Sevenger being lowered into a maintenance catwalk by a giant launch elevator. "It was awesome just now, like me!"
"You sure are, Nana." Windom pats her sister's head. "Haruki-san and Z-san would be proud of you."
"Haruki-san?" Yuka recognized that name.
"Z? You know them?" Yoko asked them.
"They're heroes who visited our universe once." Windom answered to Yoko and Yuka's surprise. "Oh, I should've led with that first. We are from Earth, but not this one." She elaborated.
"Another universe? What are you doing in our universe?" Yoko asked them.
"We need upgrades." Windom answered.
"We're fighting a really powerful villain! Haruki-san and Z-san fought it, but they weren't powerful enough!" Sevenger explained.
"We heard from Haruki that S.T.O.R.A.G.E. worked on the real Windom and Sevenger, and came here for your help." Windom added.
"We'll see what we can do, but we can't promise anything." Yoko crosses her arms. "Let's meet Bako-san downstairs."
"Bako-san?" Windom repeated.
"I think we heard that name before…" Sevenger added.
They enter the hangar where they hear welding tools crackling and heavy machinery clanging as engineers maintain the mechas. "Windom, Sevenger, meet Windom and Sevenger!" Yuka gestured to the S.A.A.s.
"Wow! Big!" Sevenger looks up happily to the S.A.A.s.
"Nobody told me we have guests." An old raspy voice spoke from behind.
Approaching them is an old man wearing a white boiler suit, a black cap, and a pair of black-framed glasses. "Bako-san, we were just looking for you!" Yoko greeted him cheerfully.
"Papa?!" both Kaiju Girls said in surprise.
"Papa?!" Bako repeated, confused.
"Oh, these are Reika and Nana! They're from another universe." Yuka introduced them awkwardly.
"Okay, but…" Bako turns to the two. "Why did you call me papa?"
"Well, uh…" Windom takes her Soulriser and searches through her photos. She presents a picture of herself, Nana, and a man resembling Bako.
"Huh…" Bako looks at it closer. "That's me."
"Shirogane Kojiro." Windom said for Bako to look at her. "That's my father's name. He's an engineer, too."
"Inaba Kojiro." Bako corrected. "It's nice to meet you, Reika-chan, Nana-chan." He smiled.
"They call themselves Kaiju Girls, and have the powers of Windom and Sevenger." Yuka explained.
"I've never heard of such a phenomenon." Bako commented.
"They know Haruki and Z, and came to us from their recommendation." Yoko added.
"Well, a friend of Haruki is a friend of S.T.O.R.A.G.E." Bako smiled. "What do you need?"
"We're fighting a villain who took our friends. We need more power to rescue them!" Sevenger explained.
"Follow me, I'll show you what we're working on now." He gestures them to follow him.
They come to a workshop holding a massive red flamethrower. "This is Fire Shot: Windom's experimental flamethrower." Bako introduces them.
"It should be ready for field testing." Yuka added.
"About time. Windom has been getting rusty from inactivity for so long." Yoko said before noticing Windom. "Oh, not you, Reika-san. I meant our Windom."
"I've actually came back from a health leave. I'm a little rusty at some things too." Windom assured.
"I can mock-up a human-scale Fire Shot for Reika-chan. It should take a couple hours." Bako added.
"Does Sevenger-senpai have upgrades, too?" Sevenger asked.
"So many upgrades, you can probably tell who's Bako's favourite." Yuka smiled at Bako.
Bako takes them to S.A.A.-1's own armoury, containing not just the weaponry from earlier, but several jetpacks, a scuba mask, a harpoon, and a red-gripped gladius. "Sevenger-senpai has so many things!" Sevenger squeaked.
"This is the Taser Baton, used when Sevenger goes to space." Yoko presented the baton.
"Sevenger can go to space? I wanna go to space!" Sevenger exclaimed.
"This is the Super Rigid Core Drill Fist; pivotal in the defeat of terrible Destrudos." Bako walks to the giant drill.
"Finally, is our forty-millimetre Autocannon, first used against an Eleking." Yuka explained. "It jammed quite a bit, but it works now!"
"They're so cool! I wanna start now!" Sevenger declared happily.
"Then let's get you geared up." Yoko said.
