Meanwhile, back with Mo and the girls...

'The score is tied, folks!' The announcer announced. 'Going into extra innings. The heat is on. They don't call this sudden-death for nothing.'

'Whoever wins this is going to the national tournament,' the commentator commented. 'That Ueda pitcher has to be feeling the pressure.'

Ryohei was looking like the game was really taking a lot out of him as he was sweating.

"Oh, Ryohei!" Yumi pouted. She was worried for him while eating as she watched the game.


Natsuki opened a book and soon found a sealed letter inside of it. Mo soon noticed this and saw that it had some writing on it. Natsuki took the letter and soon ran off with it.

"Natsuki, wait!" Mo called out.


Natsuki ran off with the letter to alert the rest of her family. "Everyone!"

"A game?" Kazuma glared. "You calling the end of mankind a game? No, you… You're kidding."

"Yeah, you two are kidding, right?" Tony smiled nervously.

"From Love Machine's perspective, it might as well be," Riichi informed. "He is not doing this out of the sense of hatred or malice. Sounds like the US army isn't any better prepared for this. They never imagined letting that AI jinni out of the bottle could come back to bite them so catastrophically. It's one meter in diameter, traveling at seven kilometers a second. It'll strike with the force of a ballistic missile. If it does hit a nuclear reactor, the fallout will cover a huge area. The loss of life will be unfathomable."

"No way..." Kazuma stuttered.

"This isn't happening." Emi groaned.

"So, what do we have to do to stop that from happening?" Hercules asked.

"38% of all OZ accounts worldwide have been stolen so far," Riichi informed. "That's 412,000,000. We need to take back whoever's account controls the probe's GPS system."

"We have two hours." Marc added.

"Are you crazy?!" Vincent asked out of shock. "You want us to take back 412,000,000 accounts within two hours?!"

"I'm afraid there's no other way." Marc replied.

"Kids..." Connie frowned out of fright.

All of the teenagers soon turned their heads to Connie who was next to Kiyomi.

"Aunt Connie?" The Fudo siblings muttered.

"Kazuma, honey, what's happening?" Kiyomi asked nervously. "I mean this isn't real, right? It's just a game, isn't it?"

Kazuma soon went back on the computer and soon started to type like crazy to get his avatar to move.

"Kazuma, no!" Sakuma told him. "You don't' stand a chance!"

"Shut up!" Kazuma snapped.

Connie was very worried about what was going on with the kids. Love Machine soon pointed towards King Kazma and where the avatars that formed his right finger charged and attacked King Kazma. Marc was on the edge himself since he had a love for technology. And where with all of the avatars that Love Machine had in his control, it had killed King Kazma.

"Oh, I can't watch." Emi whimpered.

King Kazma is soon shown not moving anymore as Kazuma tried to get his avatar to move.

"I'm not sure if I like this very much." Connie said as she was petting Bunny who was lying beside her as Alexandrite sat next to her mother.

Love Machine soon actually ate King Kazma as if he was a gumball and soon grew rabbit ears before roaring.

"HE ATE HIM!" Megan shrieked.

Kazuma soon started to tear up as he had failed to defeat Love Machine.

"Oh, Kazuma, it's okay..." Marc tried to soothe the boy.

"There is another person that could help us." Atlas spoke up.

The others turned to the former circus strongman.

"Atlas, darling?" Connie looked to her husband curiously.

"Wabisuke," Atlas said. "But there's no telling if he'll come back."

Natsuki seemed to know where to go to find her uncle. She soon gave Mo the letter as she ran off to enter a password she now knew what it was into her phone to call her uncle. Mo took the letter as Natsuki then went off.

"Great idea, Daddy, I hope it works." Alexandrite said as she carried Bunny in her arms.

Kenji soon looked and saw the Honafuda cards and which gave him an idea. Natsuki soon entered in Sakae's birthday. She was then allowed in and soon made the call.

'Clever girl, Natuki,' Wabisuke said. 'So how'd you find me?'

"Where are you?" Natsuki asked.

'Does it matter?' Wabisuke scoffed. 'How'd you figure out my phone's pass code anyway?'

"You need to come home." Natsuki said, sounding like she was about to cry.

'Granny put you up to call, didn't she?' Wabisuke asked.

"Wait-" Natsuki tried.

'I'm not going back, Natsuki,' Wabisuke replied, not knowing that Sakae had passed away. 'As long as she's living there, that house doesn't exist to me.'

"Just listen, okay?" Natsuki asked as tears were forming.

'If I had known it was her birthday, I wouldn't have come back in the first place.' Wabisuke huffed.

"Uncle, she-" Natsuki tried again.

'Look, you tell her that I-' Wabisuke replied angrily at first.

"Will you just shut up for once in your life and just listen?!" Natsuki glared before going into tears.

'What's going on?' Wabisuke soon asked.

"Granny is dead, Wabisuke," Natsuki finally got out. "She had a weak heart. Uncle Mansaku had her on a monitor, but with OZ on messed up, it didn't work."

'Are you telling me that Granny is dead?' Wabisuke asked with a shaky voice.

"You lied last night; you didn't forget her birthday," Natsuki continued. "It's your pass code, 0108, August 1st. You came home to see Granny. I know you did. So please, come home again to say goodbye."


Mo soon opened up the letter to read what was inside to everyone. She cleared her throat as she began to read.

"'To my family,

First, take yourselves a deep breath. Crying and carrying on doesn't help anything. Make my funeral arrangement a simple affair, just our close friends. And then go back to your day-to-day lives. I don't have anything to leave you in the way of an inheritance. That said I'm sure my old acquaintances will keep an eye on the Jinnouchi family. No need to worry, my dears. You've always been hard workers and I know you'll keep it up. And grant me this; if Wabisuke should ever make his way back home, he's been gone ten years and counting now. So who's to say if that day will ever come? But if he does, I'm sure he'll be hungry. He never took proper care of himself, then probably won't have been eating right so let him have as many vegetables from the field as he wants and the grapes and peaches too. He always loved those the best. I remember the day we first met. Even now it's clear as a bell.

His little ears looked just like my husband's: definitely his father's son. We walked through the field of morning glories and I told him he would be our child from that day forward. He didn't say a single word but his hand wrapped all the tighter around my finger. I was so happy to be giving him the family he needed. I liked to think he could feel the happiness radiating off of me. Never turn your back on family even when they hurt you. Never let life get the better of you and if you remember nothing else, remember to find time to eat together as a family. Even when times are rough, especially when times are rough. There's no lack of painful things in this world but hunger and loneliness must surely be two of the worst. Thanks to you, my precious family I didn't know a moment of either of those the last 90 years.

Love you all, goodbye'."

Everyone was in tears as Mo finished reading the letter. Mo sniffled herself as she wiped her eyes as she felt her heart sink through her chest from reading aloud. Wabisuke's car is soon heard screeching to a stop outside of the Jinnouchi family house/estate.

"Uncle's home!" Natsuki called out.

"And a good thing too." Megan said.

"Granny, I need to see you!" Wabisuke rushed over.

"That's enough, Wabisuke," Mariko told him. "Go and pay your respects to Granny properly. Then we can all sit down and have ourselves a meal."

"That's right." Connie nodded.
