Later on that day in the future an older Yami and Mikan went to Haruna's location into the secret base. She knocked on the door as a soldier answered with caution. "Were you followed?" he asked. "No, we are in the clear." She answered. "Haruna has been waiting for you, come on in." he led the two girls.
Mikan, Yami, it's good to see you two again." Haruna greeted. "Hello Haruna we have been well, but I doubt you called us in just for a reunion." Mikan reminded. "Ahem, I called you in because I need you help to take down the king." Haruna replied. "We already tried that how do you think I lost my brother?" Mikan said.
"Hello Mikan…." Rito greeted nervously.
"Rito, you're alive." Mikan greeted wide opened on his appearance with a hug. "It seems like my target hasn't died after all." Yami commented folding her arms. "Rito rubbed the back of his head nervously over Yami's comment. "Um, thanks I guess." He replied.
"We want to take down the king, and we are going to need all the help we can get. So please help us." Haruna begged as she placed her hands on Mikan's and Yami's shoulders. Mikan looked at Yami as she nodded her head in reply. "Okay Haruna, but tell me we have a fighting chance. I don't want to lose my brother twice." Mikan accepted. "I've already worked up a plan." Haruna replied.
"Hey Haruna we finish working on the machine the princess girl created." The alien bounty hunters reported. Surprised Rito pulled out his blaster and aimed at the alien bounty hunters. "What are you guys doing here?" Rito asked as he remembered the time he was controlled by them made him do shameless things. "Here to cause more trouble well I don't think so." Rito said. Haruna then pulled him back. "Relax Rito there on our side; we saved them from execution a while back." Haruna said.
"I'd say we should have let them die." Yami said as Mikan nodded agreeing with Yami.
"We've improved our technology and use one of the guards to infiltrate the base, and we located some blind spots so if we cripple that then he won't have his advance technology to save him." The alien bounty hunter reported. "Sounds like a plan, we'll get moving right away, general Kotegawa and her men and her will be on stand for an assault until they succeed." Haruna said.
"Haruna, we came as soon as you…" adult Risa and Mio paused by Rito presence.
"Yuuki Rito, tell me I'm not seeing things." Rito shouted. Mio took off her glasses to see Rito in front of her to make sure she wasn't seeing things either. "I know how you feel, but we need to save the reunion for later. We have other plans." Haruna reminded. "Saienji, are you there?" Kotegawa called. Haruna picked up her remote turned the channel to Kotegawa location. "I'm here Kotegawa, read you load and clear." Haruna answered. "We discovered a secret base of the king's men, they holding a slave labor camp among the citizens forcing them to work endless hours. It is horrible." Kotegawa reported disgusted with scenery of the people working. "How is it looking out there?" Haruna asked. "There are a couple of guards around here, but not too much of them are heavily armed." Kotegawa replied. "I see, hold on right there Kotegawa we'll be on our way." Haruna said.
"Seems like we are going to have to put our main plan on hold, right now saving the people from these brutal slave camps is our top priority right now. Let's move!" Haruna suggested gripping her fist as she led Rito and the others into battle. "Lala, scan the area to see how many control camps are there around." Haruna called Lala on phone. "You got it Haruna-chan." Lala replied happily.
Kotegawa and her men stood on standby as she watched hopelessly as the people get beat to death from working. "Get to work you earthlings; his majesty wants it done by noon, no slacking off." The guard shouted. "I don't know about you Kotegawa, but I for one am ready for some action." A soldier said. "It's a death sentence if we ran right in there without a plan we'll have to wait for Haruna." Kotegawa replied.
"Kotegawa… I brought in some extra help." Haruna met up with Kotegawa hidden from the slave labor camps. "I never thought I'd see it to believe it." Haruna observed the people working long hours at the slave labor camps. "What do we do now Haruna?" Kotegawa asked.
"Haruna, are you there?" Lala called. Haruna picked up her phone. "Go ahead Lala, how many are there?" Haruna answered. "I've counted, and there are four labor camps." Lala answered back. "All right then Lala, got it." Haruna said.
"Okay everyone here's what we will do. We'll split up into groups and hit multiple labor camps freeing the people being held there. We got to hit them hard and fast, no setbacks." Haruna planned making map of her plan in dirt. Everyone nodded at Haruna plan.
"Now then, first squad Kotegawa, you'll strike at the south area. Second squad, Risa and Mio, you will strike at the east area. Third squad, Yami you will strike at the west area, and in the meantime Rito you are with me and we'll strike at the north area." Haruna planned as Rito looked at her with great passion blushing knowing she was not the same Haruna from his time.
"Be on your guard everyone and be careful!" Haruna announced as everyone nodded their heads in reply and then separated to their assignments.
"Get back to work you maggots!" A guard shouted with a whip to all the people in the slave labor camps. Meanwhile, Mio were far away observing the activity from the camp in the east as they instructed the soldiers to aim a missile at their control tower. "What the hell was that go check it out?" the guard said. As the guard went outside he was then ambushed by Risa as she took his outfit and disgusted herself as a guard. "I'm in, stand on guard." Risa instructed Mio and the soldiers. "Good evening, I am new here; don't suppose you can show me around, so I could get the field of this place." Risa asked the guard looking charming. "Well I don't mind, come on…and to my personal chambers while we're at it." The guard invited flattered by her lovely appearance.
Meanwhile Kotegawa and her soldiers sneaked into the slave labor camps in the south as she drew the guards away at the front gate with a strange sound. As they entered the camp Kotegawa used a device to cripple the security cameras within the base. "Let's move!" Kotegawa instructed her soldiers as they infiltrated the base.
Later on that day Yami launched into the slave labor camps in the west unexpectedly as the guards got on guard. "Hey, who the hell are you!" the guard demanded as they aimed the weapons at Yami. Yami turned her arm into a sword and attacked the guards and used her hair as multiple fists at the other guards. Mikan then release the people from their chain binds while Yami was fighting the guards.
Finally Haruna and Rito struck another labor camp in the north. As a guard went outside to scout the activity Haruna and Rito ambushed him with blaster held towards him. "Don't move or make a sound, show us the way to the main control room." Haruna demanded. Fearing for his life the guard did as she instructed. Haruna then grabbed his communicator. "Don't you be getting ideas now or else I won't hesitate to shoot." Haruna warned.
One of the guards was with Risa around his office when all of a sudden he started to come on to her locking the door. "Now then why don't we get to business." He suggested. He leaned onto Risa coming on to her. "Really, don't you think we should watch over the slaves?" Risa asked not cautions around the guard. "They will be fine, now then why don't we talk about us for a bit." The guard said. "Good idea." Risa replied as she kneed the guard in his grin and shocked him with a Taser knocking him unconscious. "Sorry, but you aren't my type." She said. She then activated the holds on the slave's citizens setting them free and then set a bunch of C4 bombs in the main control room.
"Hey we're free." A random person said feeling his wrist free from the bonds. "What do you think you're doing?" a guard demanded approached the citizen. The citizen punched out the guard out cold. "I'll tell you what I'm not doing listening to you anymore." He answered. "You'll pay for that." The other guards announced about to attack when all of sudden a missile was fired at a tower making it come down on the guards.
"Hey guys you're free, get out of here while you still can, because this place is going bye-bye." Risa announced on the speaker. The people cheered as they took off running out of the camp.
On Yami's side she continued to destroy the labor camp environment while walking as the guards were unable to stop her. Mikan then set some C4 bombs at the control room and led the people out.
On Kotegawa side her and her men surround the guards at the control room armed. "Your shameless act ends here!" she barked. "Damn you rebels to hell you won't get away with this." The guard said. "We already did." Kotegawa replied as she knocked the guard unconscious. Her and her men set their C4 bombs in the main control room.
Finally Haruna and Rito arrived at the control room from their side as they set their C4 bombs while having one of the guard's held as their hostage. "This is as far as you go." A guard called out to them with a whole squad. "Don't try anything funny otherwise we'll finish him off without a second to blink." Haruna threatened the guard. The guard then shot the guard being held hostage by Haruna and Rito. "Why did you do that he was your own men?" Rito asked. "You fool, we don't care its every guard for himself, which means if he gets caught then he's on his own." The guard replied. Armed to the teeth Haruna and Rito were surrounded by the guards, Haruna text Kotegawa, Risa, Mio, Yami and Mikan behind her back to continue on with the operations in crippling the slave labor camps.
She then threw a C4 bomb at the guards she quickly detonated the bombs. She and Rito then escaped from the window as the people were free from their chains. "Sorry Rito, we're going to have to do something reckless, because this isn't what I planned."
Haruna said quickly changed her strategy. Kotegawa, Risa and Mio, Yami and Mikan, detonated the C4 blowing up the slave labor camps crippling their bases as they camps were in pieces.
Haruna and Rito rushed to the exit along with people ahead of them. Rito then set a C4 bomb at the walls as it detonated and blew up as ruble fell down blocking the entrance. The guards began to fire at Rito and Haruna while still trying to get away from the guards. Out of the blue Haruna was shot in the leg causing her to lose her footing. "Haruna… are you okay?" Rito asked rushing to her aid.
"Rito…I'm hit, go on without me." Haruna ordered. "No… I'm not leaving you behind." Rito shot back as he carried Haruna on his back and continued to away from the guards. Feeling determined while under enemy fire Rito continued to run from the guards. The guards eventually grew tired of running as they stopped to catch their breath. "Damn, that kid is freaking not human. He must have been an athlete for so long." The guard scoffed. That night later…Haruna and the other met back at their secret base after they attacked the slave labor camps.
"Are you all okay?" Kotegawa asked. "I should be asking you guys that, but other than that. I'm fine, thanks to Rito." Haruna answered. Rito said tending to Haruna's wound on her leg. Rito rubbed the back of his head nervously. "It was nothing really." He said. "No really Rito. You saved my life back there. Thank you." Haruna complimented with a smile.
"It would seem like my former target has grown a backbone." Yami mocked as everyone laughed at Rito courage.
"Your majesty, our slave labor camps were destroyed by the rebels and all the people have escaped." Zastin reported.
The king slammed his fist on the table after hearing the report. "Those damn rebels, they are becoming a bigger pain than ever."Gid shouted. "We manage to capture this footage taken by one of the guards." Zastin reported.
Zastin played a tape of Haruna and Rito escape. "Wait a second, stop the tape." Gid commanded. He stared at the video of Rito helping Haruna escape. "But how, he is still alive." Gid asked shocked about Rito's appearance.
"We have yet to confirm if he is the real Yuuki Rito sir." Zastin replied. "The time has come to settle an old score." Gid barked clenching his fist.
