Currently at Mio's apartment, it's raining with everyone but Hazuki and Mio, who are sleeping in sofas with leg rest, sleeping in small portable mattresses and all are covered with sheets. Keena is murmuring in bed, struggling to sleep. She then wakes up, nudging Gavin a bit.

"Gavin-gins, wake up." Keena whispered.

"Hng…? Huh…?" Gavin murmured.

"Hold on a second…" Keena then uses her magic to have them wear clear circular helmet-like figures on their heads.

"Can't sleep? And what's up with these circle things?"

"It's so we can talk without whispering. I got something to tell you."

"Is it about Hazuki?"

"No, I…had a bit of a past vision of me. I already told you about my parents…"

"I'm guessing your childhood wasn't so notable."

"Well, yeah, although I did read a lot."

"Was your favorite book Green Eggs and Ham?" they then both chuckle.

"Kinda close, actually. My mannerisms make me feel like I'm somehow a female Dr. Seuss."

"That's you, alright." Gavin chuckles and blushes.

"Hey~, you jokey-jokester!" they giggle a bit, and then the both try to kiss, only for their helmets to bump to each other.

They both then said "Whoops." and chuckle again, with Keena using her magic taking off their helmets and then then share a kiss and hug. A smooching sound is heard.

[2nd opening: "Arlandria" by Foo Fighters]

Ain't that the way it always starts
A simple round of conversation
Became a shameful equation
I flipped from station to station

Hey, don't go and turn the other way
Don't say there's nothing more to say
Come on, hear me out

Hush, hush, settle down
Button up, don't make a sound
Shame, shame, go away
Come again some other day

You used to say I couldn't save you enough
So I've been saving it up, I started saving it up
And when you said I couldn't give you enough
I started giving you up, I started giving you up

You are not me

Arlandria, Arlandria

You and what army?

Arlandria, Arlandria
Oh, God you gotta make it stop!

Oh, God you gotta make it stop!

Episode 10: "Surprise, Surprise"

It's now morning, with still a bit of rain sprinkles falling outside. Outside at the former SVC headquarters, a large crowd is slowly forming nearby a tall platform as Yumi, alongside Icy Hail and Xavier, grabs a megaphone.

"Your savior will be with you momentarily! Also, if you're worried about rain, well touch shit!"

Xavier approaches her, "Would I recommend something?" he whispers throughout.

Yumi sighs, "I'm not going to try to toss a Molotov cocktail at the crowd. I like to build-up tension before we make a mess out of them." she also whispers throughout.

"You do know I'm not a waiting person, you dig? Icy over there looks hungry and primed for a rib-eye steak. Meaning people."

"Are you trying to make me hungry just so I can cave in?"

"Not really, just being curious."

"You're tanned. I can't seriously."

"Oh, c'mon…"

Eiko then arrives, "Thanks for warming up the crowd with your act, guys."

Icy Hail chuckles, "Maybe me and Yumi could do a live-sex celebration."

"There are children watching, Icy."

"Well, that's weak."

"No, that was just encouragement, so, so you just wasted it." Eiko said as Icy sighs.

Eiko then grabs the megaphone. "I was thinking of all of you to down down to me, but I figured I would think of something positive. From what I'm seeing, there are a couple of kids around here. If anyone is curious to bring their sons or daughters, especially if they're in their tween years to see possible improvements for the future here, don't be afraid to bring them here.

Almost all of the onlookers slowly seems to agree with her. A girl with a gothic-lolita-like dress appears, looking slightly infuriated.

"We're not gonna listen to you!" she said.

"Hm? A protester this time? This town keeps surprising me every day."

"Stop your remarks!" she then faces the crowd, "Don't you know that this could be a trap?!"

"Move it kid. You do know who you're dealing with, right?" said Yumi.

"I know. I'm just only giving a slight warning to everyone here."

Eiko yawns, "How threatening." she replies sarcastically. "Shouldn't you stay with your parents?"

"They're dead."

Xavier and Yumi both then laugh as Eiko tries to hold it, "Then why not be buried alongside them? A dead family is a close family, after all."

The gothic-lolita girl then whistles loudly and tells to the rest of the people "RUN AWAY!", as the rest of the pedestrians then leave quickly.

"If you're trying to make me shake in my shoes, you aren't because you're just wasting second after second." said Eiko.

"That is, if you live for a couple more!" The gothic-lolita girl then pulls out a small speck from her pocket.

"What's that, a tiny cracker?" said Icy Hail.

The tiny speck then grows into…a M-134 Minigun that the girl holds by the handles without a problem.

"That's…just a toy gun, right?" said Xavier.

"It looks over the top, I know. Would it fire real bullets, though?" the Lolita goth girl said as she starts to shoot and unleashes a flurry of bullets from the Minigun to their direction, as the rest of the bad guys dodge as much as possible. Eiko is seen growling as she tries to get closer the girl behind.

"It's impressive, but it's gonna end quickly!" Eiko yelled out.

"I was never left myself open in any way!" the girl said as she presses a button on one side of the minigun and a huge puff of smoke comes out, covering Eiko, Yumi and Xavier in the process.

Eiko then coughs, "Stop being so damn clever!" she yelled out, as she tries to locate the girl. Icy Hail, who was far enough of the smoke, notices the girl running away and gives immediate chase by flying towards her

"I'll freeze in your tracks, meddlesome girl, and by freeze, I mean you'll die!" said Icy Hail.

"Not if I "freeze" you first!" said the girl as she unleashes a barrage of shots again, but Icy Hail avoids them pretty easily as she summons a stalagmite and throws it at the girl, as she also dodges it. Icy Hail then summons more stalagmites as the girl keeps avoiding them one by one.

"If that's all you've got, maybe you're not worthy of chasing me after all!"

"Alright, that tears it!" Icy Hail responded back as she then summons a slightly larger stalagmite and laughs evilly. "I'm gonna aim at your freakish gun!" she yelled as she throws the stalagmite straight to the gun as the girl gets a confidence look on her face and swings her minigun to deflect the stalagmite, causing it to hit Icy Hail in the chest.

"AHH! GAH!" yelled Icy Hail.

"I never doubt my trusty gun for a second." said the girl.

"Oh nooooo! My cheeeeest! I'm stabbed and probably will bleed too death! Noooooo—bwa ha ha ha!" Icy Hail continues to laugh as it turns out she was only acting and takes the stalagmite out of her chest and she doesn't bleed at all, causing the girl to look a little mad, but still not letting her defense down. Icy Hail then says "Did you really think I'd fall for my own attack? I'm freaking immune! Learn how to know your elementals, girl!"

"I still won't let myself down!" said the girl, however, Eiko is then able to zoom past behind the girl. The girl turns around, but it's too late, as she's kicked in the face, knocking her to the ground, bleeding a little.

"Except, right there." said Eiko as the rest of her comrades appear alongside her now.

The girl then tries to reach for her minigun, only for Icy Hail to step on her hand with her foot. Eiko then notices something strange as the small girl's hair looks to be falling out. "The hell…? Is this a wig? Are you famous around these parts or something?"

"Not really…just concealing my identity is all." the girl said, sound a bit struggled.

Eiko then takes out the wig and turns out that that the girl actually has pink-ish hair with pigtails. "Kind of a far cry of what I was expecting."

"I'm actually surprised mself…"

Xavier then notices the gun, "Hey, ma'am, you won't mind if use this gun to shoot her, as in to make it more ironic?"

The girl then gets a confident look on her face, as Eiko notices the face and warns Xavier, "Don't grab the gun, IT'S A TRAP!", but it was too late, as he already grabbed the gun, and it causes fireworks to go out and explode in the sky, blinding them a bit, and is as loud as possible to have the whole town heard and be seen for miles. With the fireworks over, the girl is able to get her minigun again and disappears.

"GODDAMN IT, XAVIER!" yelled Eiko.

"Look, I have an excuse, ya know, men love to fire guns." said Xavier.

"Maybe you could shoot yourself, while you're at it." said Yumi.

"Yeah, and do it on a ladder, while you're at it." said Icy Hail as the then laughs, but no one else is. "G-get it? "Chutes" and ladders?"

A small pause is followed.

"I'm trying to cheer the mood up, so…I at least want one fucking smile."

Xavier then tries to smile to comfort her. "NOT FROM YOU!" yelled Icy Hail.

"Not to really worry, though. Let's just say that by this point the infected shall get a little more freakier." said Eiko with a bit of a chuckle.

Meanwhile, back at Mio's apartment, the group was able to hear the fireworks shortly after all having breakfast.

"I doubt there's a party." said Keena.

"It isn't… something tells me we're not the only ones against her." said Hazuki.

"Now I'm starting to think we're not the only ones who bended time and space to eliminate her." chuckled Gavin.

"That's gonna be a lot of TARDIS machines used, then." joked Michie.

"Anyways, all we can say is that we might take a better opportunity to attack them now while we can." said Mio.

"Wait… you actually think they got attacked?"

"Mio could have a point, Michie, but maybe it's a possible signal for help. We all planned a bit to try to attack there today, but then there's the infected probably getting in our way." said Lily.

"No to mention if they reach to their possible second form, and future forms, for that matter." said Keena.

The six then ponder on a bit until Keena gets an idea.

"Wait, why didn't I think of it before! I could use magic to get the infected back to normal!"

"Wait, what?" said Hazuki.

Keena then shows off her wand. "Forgot to show you this."

"Amazing! Go and magic-fy it up!" said Mio.

"WAIT!" yelled Lily.

"Wait, what's up?" said Keena.

"I'm uneasy on this…"

"It's only magic, Lily, what's the problem now?"

"It's not going to work."

"I think I know what you're getting." said Michie.

"Is this world just meant to be like this or something?" said Gavin.

"You could say that." said Lily. She then continued "Magic can work if it's used in battle, but as for making things normal, it's immune. We live in a world where if magic would be used as a cure, it could cause a possible uproar due to possible selfishness and it could initiate tons of controversy to follow suit. In short, should it have worked, politics would go mad, and the world will keep finding some sort of cure, although it won't exist and violence might break out."

A small silence breaks until Keena then stands up.

"Then we don't need it. We can find a better cure, and we'll start by taking care of the supposed "ruler" of here! Our attacks shall rebel through! You all with me?!"

Everyone are then all then able to show more confidence, as they all yell "YEAH!".

"Hazuki, Mio, stay with hope! We'll get through this together!" said Keena.

"And probably quickly, as well." said Michie.

"We're gonna stomp 'em flat!" said Lily.

"It's also gonna be a slobber knocker!" said Gavin.

"C'mon, guys, we'll knock them out of the way!" said Keena.

"Got it!" said Hazuki.

"Let's go all out, Hazuki" said Mio.

As they leave out of the apartment, Hazuki stops.

"Wait, you said "go all out", right?" said Hazuki.

"Y-yeah?" said Mio.

Hazuki then kisses Mio deeply, hugging her tightly, Mio then returns the kiss. After a couple of seconds, they let go. It then turns out that everyone else were able to see the kiss, all wolf whistling.

"Good going, you two!" said Keena, giggling.

"If you're trying to make us shy, it's not gonna work anymore." said Mio.

"I'm just a little more happier now." said Hazuki, smiling. "Now let's really go."

On their way, on a slight downhill slope, they notice a few infectees, as everyone prepares themselves.

"We got not pretty company coming." said Gavin.

"Hold on, guys, something's up with them." said Keena as she carefully tries to analyze, "Guys, these dudes look different."

"As in "pedestrians" different or "uh-oh, that looks freakin' awful" different?" said Michie.

"No, more like "oh crap, they grew up to the second mutate stage and are heading to our direction" different."

"In other words, attack, attack!" yelled out Gavin.

They charge ahead as the infected in their second stage have now long arms and legs and a long neck, as well as 4 scales on the front of it's body with different colors each, being yellow, red, black and white. They then face the infected.

"It's like they say; you can't teach old dog new tricks. Well, these ain't old dogs anymore." said Lily.

"I'm actually pretty curious to learn said new tricks, though." said Mio as she points to their scales.

"Did they combine with the game of Simon?" said Michie. "Guess they're sort of extraterrestrials now."

One of the infectees try to chop them, but the rest are easily able to avoid the chop, leaving a hole on the ground.

Mio first starts to attack, using her nunchucks to try to attack the body, but it doesn't make a dent, "Crap! That won't work anymore…"

"How about this, then?" said Hazuki as she jumps and slices it's neck off without a problen. She then lands in front of it as it's still standing. "They still aren't so hard."

The yellow scale then glows from the intectee, as Mio charges at Hazuki to have both of them get out of the way of a beam that comes out of the scale as it hits a wall and explodes. Everyone else were able to avoid it, as well.

"Oh, cheese and crackers, that's gonna be pretty annoying." said Mio.

The remaning infectees then group an attack against them as Keena and Gavin start jumping and kicking one of the infectees's head, but it shrugs off a bit.

"It's gonna have to be quick and painless!" said Gavin.

"I think I got an idea!" said Keena as she starts whispeing to Gavin. However, they didn't notice the infectee's whtie scale glowing, causing it to quickly uppercut them, then juggling their bodies and then punching them down.

"Did it just juggle us like it was a circus act?" said Keena drowsily.

"I believe it did…" said Gavin drowsily.

"Huh, guess infected people can have a sense of humor."

They then kip-up and jump again at it's head, but this time they both attempt to turn the head sideways to snap it's neck; it sucesfully works. Tons of bones cracking is head.

"Whoa, guess this form has tons of bones. It's like hearing a Top 40 pop song." said Gavin.

Keena giggles, "Or some sort of xylophone."

Michie and Lily then face one of the infectees, with Lily first uppercutting it's head so hard, that it's neck stretches reaches the sky, and Michie punching and kicking it's neck. However, it's still not knocked out.

"Know what would make this easier?" said Michie

"What?" questioned Lily.

Michie then ties it's neck into a knot. "A little something like this."

"It's humerous, yeah, but it's not like it's gonna fall to the ground."

A small pause happens. Both of them were expecting it'd fall, but instead the black scale glows, causing it to fire a beam. Both of them barely dodge it, but Lily's left arm gets hit.

"Lily, you okay?"

Lily looks distraught, but suddenly is able to realize it as in her view, her arm looks amputated.

"Everyone! If you're hit by the black beam, it causes you to have an illusion! It's not really affecting you! Keep on atacking!" Lily then tests it out by using said left arm as it successfully still can grow and attack, and is able to break through the illusion.

Hazuki tries to cut another infectee's neck, but this time the infectee can dodge, knowing her strategy well and uses the red scale to fire a laser, hitting her, causing her to hit a wall and fall to the ground.

"Hazuki!" Mio cried out as she checks up on Hazuki. "You're not hurt, are you?"

Hazuki's whole body turns red, "No, but…I feel weak…"

"That red laser must be the reason. I'll defeat it in a jiff." Mio then finds around inside of her plushy and finds a sword.

"How do you…?"

"I find things." Mio then leaps at the infectee's direction "Don't mess with my future wife, you rotten tomato!" she yelled, and uses the sword to slice the infectee's head off, causing Hazuki to turn back to normal.

"Phew…felt like snot there."

"A hot snot."

Small pause as they then both laugh.

"That was so lame, it's somehow funny!"

"I'll still work around that!"

The rest of the group find pretty interesting ways to slice their necks off; including Michie using her fangs biting on their necks, causing their necks to fall off slowly, Gavin dropping an elbow on their necks and Lily tripping the infectees, then using her big hands to squish their necks. Keena continued the strategy on flying and snapping their necks as she keeps finding them catchy.

"This plan is working, but…" she said as she notices more infectees coming. "We might need a little more extra firepower so we don't tire out…"

Keena then notices the gothic lolita girl, with her wig back on, to the left of her, jumping rooftop after rooftop, carrying her minigun. She then jumps over Keena and lands to the ground. Keena follows suit. The rest of the good guys stare at the girl

"I think…she's on our side! Yeah!" said Keena.

"Why wouldn't I be?" the girl said. Hazuki and Mio then both gasp and recognize her voice.

A bunch of infectees com at her away, but then she swings the minigun a bit. She then aims carefully at their heads and shoots away, annihilating the remainng 8 of them, with now leaving a clear view ahead.

"They're indeed pretty annoying, but it's likely we won't see them for a while." said the girl.

"You're welcome to the cause, miss." said Lily.

"You guys probably have heard the fireworks earlier. I made that with this baby."

"Better stick with us from now on, like glue, but not literally." said Keena with a giggle.

Gavin laughs and blushes then hugs her, "Nice one."

"So what's your name, anyways?" quesitoned Michie.

Hazuki then steps in, "I already might have a clue."

The girl then smiles and then takes off her wig, showing her pink hair.

"Yuko Yabe was never dead…because you're looking now at her."

[2nd ending: "Audience Of One" by Rise Against]

I can still remember
The words and what they meant
As we etched them with our fingers
In years of wet cement

The days blurred into each other
Though everything seemed clear
We cruised along at half speed
But then we shifted gears

We ran like vampires from a thousand burning sons
But even then we should have stayed

But we ran away
Now all my friends gone
Maybe we've outgrown all the things that we once loved

Runaway
But what are we running from?
A show of hands from those in this audience of one
Where have they gone?
