At the same time, with the same tone, Cosmic Girl and Taka both yelled, "Hot Soup?! What on earth are you doin' here!?" Hot Soup exclaimed, "Hey hey, one at a time! I've come here to save your ass, Taka." Yasuha exclaimed, "Wh- I thought you were with Starman!" Cosmic Girl yelled, "Ditto!" Hot Soup and laughed and pulled a water container out of a backpack. He drank the water, which took a comically long time to finish.

"Starman let me go after I shipped over his sandwich to that park. I went home right after, however- I kinda felt bad. I helped our enemy out, y'know? I was scared of what he'd do if I didn't make him his little sandwich, so I complied. I don't know what this 'ultimate ability' he'll gain is, but it's certainly not good. And it'll for sure give you guys a harder time with him. So to make amends, I'll help you out with this bitch."

Cosmic Girl clenched her fist, yelling, "Traitor! You'll be dead before doing anything of use!" She picked up an empty bottle of water which had layed on the ground, hummed a melody, and threw it at Taka. Taka, Yasuha, and Hot Soup all got out of the way before it could hit them with its eyeballs. Cosmic Girl got out of the way as well, which captured the attention of Taka. Taka exclaimed, "Hey! Why'd you move out of the way!? Are you not immune?! Is your own ability capable of bringing forth your demise!?"

Yasuha said, "It seems so! If she was immune to her own ability, nothing would've been stopping her from just throwing those eyeballs at us! Instead, she resorted to throwing that bottle at us, as well as using that car part!" The three all looked over at Cosmic Girl, who said, "Well, what difference does that make!? You still can't get to me!" She picked up a used cigarette from the ground, and waved it around. "Anyone who gets near me gets hit with this. Step even an inch closer and I won't hesitate!"

Hot Soup sighed, and said, "Y'know what, if it helps you get closer to Starman and end this mess, I'll do it." Taka and Yasuha looked over at the chef, confused. "What are you on about?" asked Taka. Hot Soup laughed, "Don't worry. Soon enough, you'll get to that Starman bastard and beat his ass. This is way cooler than rotting away and dying of something lame like- old age, or somethin'. I helped the enemy out of fear, like an idiot. But really, what did I have to live for? I don't even know what I'm rambling about. Here I come!"

Hot Soup picked up an eyeball, saying, "All I did in my last years of my life was help criminals out. 'Cause I was scared of them. But that fear is gone. And now, I'll help those fighting for justice!"

Hot Soup began to run towards Cosmic Girl, eyes beginning to spill out his eyes. Cosmic Girl could only run left to right, since she was backed by a wall. She ran to her left, however, Hot Soup managed to grab her arm before she got far. Eyeballs had now begun to pour out of every hole in his body, as per usual. Hot Soup began to inflate, his grip still holding Cosmic Girl's arm tight. She looked in horror as she realized that if she didn't get away immediately, she would end up like every single one of her victims. She struggled to away, however, this was in vain.

Hot Soup smirked at her right before blowing up, propelling the eyeballs stuck inside him right at Cosmic Girl. She was showered by the spillage of intestines, blood, and eyeballs. She looked on in horror as she realized that her fate had been sealed. As she began to show the symptoms of her ability, she thought to herself, "Starman... if only I could talk to you now. I'd tell you that really, I never gave a damn about your plan. About the new world. I just wanted you to be happy. I just wanted all three of us to be happy. Venus, if there's an afterlife, I hope the two of us can be happy for the rest of eternity."

Cosmic Girl exploded, releasing eyeballs all over the place. However, immediately after, the eyes which had littered the road were now gone. They had all disappeared. Yasuha groaned, "Finally! They're all gone! But- Hot Soup being gone kinda saddens me. I know that we hardly knew him, but- I don't know. He worked with my Dad, it might be that." Taka responded, "We should be thankful. If it wasn't for him, I don't know if I would've been able to get close enough to use Salad Days."

Cosmic Girl is the sister of Starman. She has long black hair, blue lipstick and green eyes. She mostly wears denim jackets and baggy pairs of pants which depict the constellations. She enjoys playing chess, drinking coffee, and gambling. Given that she's rather calm most of the time, it perplexes her how she has such a violent ability.
