Eiko is seen investigating the action on the bridge from the remains of SVC building.

"Oh, so desperate to save this world. Too bad it'll be doomed either way." said Eiko.

Yumi approaches her, saying, "I can't help but think…I still think it's a bit of an odd idea to bring one of their members' morale down to drop their confidence."

"Interesting opinion, but remember, now that you're out of the Academy, you can use your mind powers which were banned from use in there. And she sure had something that she regretted."

"I do remember that it's also for revenge, correct?"

"That's exactly it. I almost could've won that little war we had had it not been over her. I'll crush her heart and ruin her for quite a while. Lily Shiriashi, you'll feel shame and regret after all this. Vengeance shall be mine…" Eiko then cackles evilly.

[Opening theme]

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 12: "It Was An Honest Mistake"

The battle continues with Keena and Samantha as Gavin continues to look onward.

"So, that's your trick, huh? You trick your opponents with your innocent looks to wrap their heads, is that it?" said Samantha.

"No, no, no. Although it's kinda funny that you're underestimating me again, unless you're bating to want your leg broken or something." said Keena.

"Actually, as long as I'm with Eiko, I can just recover quicker and quicker."

"Heard that, Keena-kins? She might just wish for a rocket-powered leg." said Gavin.

"That's a rather silly image." Keena said.

"Hm, well lucky for your boyfriend over there, he'll get something to do in the meantime." said Samantha.

An infectee approaches Gavin from behind, close to chopping him.

"Gavin-gins, look out!" yelled Keena.

Gavin is barely able to avoid the chop as he jumps up high, then lading, facing the infectee.

"Not too shabby on the surprise, but either way, I'll knock you down 1, 2, 3, freaky infected guy!" said Gavin.

Gavin the lunges forward at it, only to get chopped from behind by one of the hands which were high up above, knocking him down a bit, then getting up as the infectee then throws left and right punches with Gavin barely dodging them, being hurt by the chop.

"Gonna keep spamming punches, huh?"

"Keep on dodging, Gavin-gins!" yelled out Keena.

"Ugh, dumb cutely nicknames…no one's gonna take you seriously calling out stuff like that in battle." said Samantha.

"Don't disrespect cutesy nicknames! It shows heart and kindness! It's what makes us, us!"

Keena then lunges forward at Samantha with an uppercut, but she blocks it. Keena then throws another uppercut, once again being blocked as Samantha then spins her around, stretching her arms.

"Don't mind if I hang ten using your body as a surfboard?" said Samantha.

"Huh, that actually sounded kinda funny. Not funny enough, though!" said Keena.

Keena then counters with a mule kick, sending her up into the air, but lands with her feet. They both then lunge at each other and exchange punches and kicks once more. Meanwhile, Gavin kicks at the infectee's neck tons of times, but taking a while to make it snap. The black scale from the infectee then begins to glow and launches a beam.

"No nightmare fuel for me today!"

Gavin again jumps up high to avoid it, but the beam then follows him.

"Shit! It's homing?!"

Gavin tries to roll on the air to safely dodge it, and then lands a little roughly on the ground, running towards the infectee and jumping over it as the beam hits the infectee as it glows red.

"So…what's going to happen when it hits an infectee…?"

Samantha then notices the infectee, while separating from Keena, "Don't tell me the black beam hit it…!"

Keena notices it as well and gasps, immediately goes straight to Gavin, by flying towards him in high-speed. "Grab my hand!" said Keena.

Gavin then nods as Keena is able to grab his hand and flies as far from the infectee as possible can while Samantha also attempts to fly off as the infectee explodes in a big blast, destroying a part of the bridge.

Meanwhile, back with the group composing of Hazuki, Lily, Michie, Mio and Yuko, they stop running to notice the big explosion taking place far behind them.

"Holy crap!" said Michie.

"I can feel their mana, they're both alright, guys." said Lily.

"Ah! Incoming!" yelled out Mio as tons of infectees are in their way.

Yuko then prepares her mini-gun. "Hope you all like headshots!"

She then unleashes a barrage of shots on the infectees, disintegrating pretty much their neck areas, knocking at least half of them down.

"How'd you like them rough apples?!" Yuko then yelled out.

However, more and more infectees keep swarming around, frustrating them.

"My ammo might be done by the time we'll get through them…"

"Large crowd, all in line, well, might as well. Let me handle these pale creepazoids." said Michie.

"Methinks she has an interesting strategy already." said Hazuki.

"I think I might know what she'll indeed do." said Lily.

Michie then takes a deep breath and starts building up energy. Vampire wings then sprout out of her back and flies up a bit, grinning.

"This is my way of thanking you." said Michie as she then summons two energy balls, throwing it at the enemies above them as the energy balls then collide into one another, creating a big, dark, static ray moving onward, obliterating all the infectees in the path, leaving the road clean. Michie then lands her feet on the ground as her wings then fade away. Lily then hugs her.

"YES! I knew you would have to do that move someday! That took ovaries, but it was worth it just watching it!" said Lily.

Michie then giggles, "They deserve it. Pretty annoying how it can be such a chore."

They both then kiss deeply.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, guys, there's no time to showboat." said Mio.

"Sorry…it just felt like it's been a long time since we kissed." said Michie.

"Well, save the great sex after this is done with." said Hazuki.

"Actually, we already did." said Lily.

"Yeah, we're no longer virgins." said Michie.

A small pause occurs with Mio starting a nervous chuckle.

"Do…your friends know?" said Yuko.

"Yeah, but they're pretty cool with it. Of course, they always are." said Michie.

Lily laughs, "Kinda like me at one point, right guys?"

Suddenly, everyone but Lily abruptly stand still.

"G-guys? I was only joking, you know—w-wait…they're not moving at all, but I do? I know this kind of spell…some sort of mind power that can mess with reality no matter what the setting, time or place is…"

"That's because I had something to do with it."

That voice came from Eiko, riding her alchemy-like symbol flying mechanism, then landing her feet to the ground.

"No time, long see, Eiko. It's only appropriate." said Lily.

"Aw, did you miss me? Cause I sure as hell didn't."

"You can't be responsible for this. It'd have to be someone working under you, right?"

"Yeah, that was Yumi. You see, when she indeed first came to the Academy, she wanted to learn being some sort of psychic, but you wouldn't allow it."

"That kind of technique was just recently banned. Too many people have messed around with it lately, so no dice for her."

"No dice, huh? How lucky is it that I was able to steal the book on my first year."

"I really should've known about that…"

"I'm not here to relive so-called nostalgia, though."

"Testing me? Teasing me?"

"Obviously, neither, but I decided that maybe this planet isn't worth it anymore, so I'm just gonna go atomic on this bitch."

"W-what?!"

"That's right. Your friends piss me off so much and now realizing how un-influential this alternative universe planet is, I'll just blow it up. I wanna see you squirm in failing this."

"So I'm guessing it was a ruse all along?"

Eiko laughs evilly, "I admit it, yes it was!"

"That'll just make our pursuit the more stronger, though."

Eiko laughs again, "Oh, rich, so rich. Seeing you and your girlfriend from afar is just awful."

"Is mocking us all you're going to do?"

"You'll never end up with her, nor even get to spend with her forever, hell, nor even marry."

"If you're trying to piss me off, you're failing already."

"You're cursed, Lily. And the funny thing is? It's your own stupid fault!"

"Y-you're delusional, is that it?"

"You should have thought better than to do what you did."

"Whatever it is, I doubt it'll do much harm to me. I still don't believe your half-assed curse."

"Yumi detected all your past days in your head, and while I could mention how freaky your family is…"

"Not fucking funny, you bitch, now just stop screwing around with me and just tell me so we can get this over with."

"You kissed a certain Akuto Sai, didn't you?"

"If that's all you have to say, then yeah, too late. Michie understood that it was only a little weird thing I did, and yes, I admitted it wasn't very bright."

"Oh, Lily, Lily, Lily. Your foolish lips should have cleared away from him. Considering he's the supposed Demon King, kissing him basically equals that you're automatically engaged to him."

Lily then doesn't move, nor react, but her eye then twitches a bit.

"Aw, what's the matter? Felt like your heart got broken?"

"No…"

"You're nervous, I can tell."

"No, you trying to break me and all. Like I would believe that."

"There's proof, you know."

Eiko then finds paper from her pocket and tosses it to Lily, catching it. Lily then begins reading it. After reading a bit, Lily just tosses it out. After a couple of seconds, a tear slowly drops from Lily's face.

"Aw, shush your eyes, little one. It's not so bad."

Lily then slowly walks forward, enraged, now tears falling off her eyes and attempts to punch her, only for Eiko to quickly dodge, then roundhouse kicks behind her head as Lily then falls to the ground and her hat falls off.

"I didn't knock you out totally, did I? Hopefully, you can hear this: you and Michie are never meant to be together."

Lily then starts sobbing, pounding one of her fists to the ground. Eiko then sits next to her, as in to mock her.

"Hey, hey, shh, shh. At least it's likely you'll get more power from—"

"NO! I DON'T WANT TO! I CAN'T HANDLE THIS! How could this happen…I'm nothing but a goddamn lost cause!"

"Now the "weird little thing" has become your worst mistake ever. Enjoy the madness, little one." Eiko then laughs evilly as she leaves and time then resumes. The remaining of the group notice her down.

"Wha? Huh? L-Lily? What's wrong?" said Michie as she runs over to her girlfriend.

"What the hell just happened…?" said Hazuki.

"It just felt like…we stopped." said Mio.

"I defiantly felt something…" said Yuko.

"Lily, get up! Are you hurt or something?" said Michie.

Lily then sniffs, still sobbing, "I fucked up…I don't want to believe this…"

"C'mon, tell me!"

"Time stopped and…Eiko then appeared and told me right to my face that we can't be together…"

"You can't possibly believe her, do you?!"

Yuko then notices the note to the left of her on the ground and picks it up. She then runs up to Michie, "Maybe this is it?"

Michie then reads the note as she then looks terrified at what she reads.

"I…remember now…I know this page form a book I once read…I thought it was only a myth…"

"It's some sort of curse, is it?" said Mio.

Michie then comforts Lily, hugging her, still looking heartbroken. Michie also starts to look like as if she's struck by grief.

"Y-yeah…she only did it to tease him, and now it's forcing us to deal with this…"

Michie starts to sob as well, hugging Lily tightly.

Meanwhile, back at the explosion site from earlier, Keena and Gavin are both on the ground, both softly unconscious, but they then both slowly wake up.

"Ugh…wow, well, landing could have been worse…" said Keena.

"Looks like even flying as far away as possible still almost gets us in the blast radius." said Gavin.

"Those infectees are apparently walking mines, too?"

"It's black ray shot all the way to itself and…that's about it."

"Guess it made it unstable."

They both then stand up, stretching their bodies a bit.

"How's your bod, Keena-kins?"

"All okay. Our clothes are real trashed, though."

"Eek, and we smell."

"We are soooooo gonna have three baths a day after this."

They both then laugh, but then they realize something.

"Wait a minute…where's Samantha?" said Keena.

"Uh-oh…she could surprise us at any—"

Gavin then gets interrupted as Samantha rushes through the surface from below the bridge in front of them, looking at them and breathing in fury. Keena and Gavin then look at her unfazed.

"AHHHHH! You two think you can just laugh away?! I'll missile both of you to pieces!" Samantha yelled.

She points her metallic hand at their direction. After a couple of seconds, nothing happens.

"H-huh?!"

"Wait…it looks damaged!" said Keena.

"C-crap…"

"Looks like our advantage has moved up ten-fold!" said Gavin.

"Not so fast…I'm still able to do this…!"

She quickly finds a smoke bomb in her pocket and quickly tosses it to the ground. After the smoke cleared, she's gone.

"Damn it! She bailed out!" said Gavin.

"I'm guessing we'll see her again, too…maybe more improved. But I'm not scared, should that happen!"

They both then feel a disturbance.

"Someone from our team is down…" said Gavin.

"Quick, let's check with the rest of them!" said Keena.

Keena then carries Gavin as she starts to fly.

"Erm…" Gavin stuttered.

"Hm, what's up?" responded Keena.

"You don't need to carry me like a princess…"

Keena then notices the way she's carrying him.

"Ah! S-sorry…just that we're in sort of a rush and I didn't think straight."

"Your flying lessons are pretty sweet, though. Even if I'm only floating for a few seconds."

"Believe in your heart still, Gavin-gins~. You'll fly like me sooner than you'll think~." said Keena with a wink.

Gavin winks back, "Right~!"

They then see the rest of the group ahead of them. "There they are!" said Keena.

The rest of the group slowly then notice Keena and Gavin approaching.

"Guys, they're back!" said Yuko as she notices Keena and Gavin far away. The both of them then land on the ground as they both gasp, noticing Lily on the ground.

"Is she seriously hurt?!" said Keena.

"No…but her heart is." said Hazuki.

"Lily, we're back! Whatever it is—" said Gavin.

"Leave me alone…" said Lily.

"My God…whoever did this?" said Keena.

"I'll…explain it all, as hard as it can be…" said Michie.

Meanwhile, back at the remains of the SVC building, Samantha lands on the ground from her flying escape with Eiko, Yumi and Xavier coming out of the building and facing her.

"He-ey, Sammy, you kicked they asses grass, eh?" said Xavier.

"Ugh, no…looks like my fist might still need upgrades." said Samantha.

"Hm, had sort of a feeling. You really dug it, though, right?" said Eiko.

"Oh, it was a blast, all right. It was like a Power Glove on steroids, it was that magnificent to have!"

"There's more room for improvement. Trust me; it won't take long like last time."

"So, how's the nuke plan going?"

"Oh, it's going smooth sailing." said Yumi. "It was literally a phone call away. With the way this universe rolls, nobody bothers to make a second thought on blowing up a country for the sake of the virus not spreading."

"And the reason why I wanted to take over the first place. Turns out I got bored easier than I thought. Should they fail, we'll see them squirm and doubtful, and I'm doubtful that they'll succeed. But either way, we have a surprise attack on their Academy that'll gain us the advantage" said Eiko with a noticeable snarl.

Back with the main group, Keena and Gavin gasp after hearing the details. Keena then covers her face.

"And I-I-I…I…I almost kissed him, too…I was drunk, but…fuck…what a close call." said Keena.

"At least you almost couldn't help yourself…" said Lily, now sounding emotionless throughout.

"Lily, don't give up to the absolute bullshit she told you! I'm sure there's a solution!" said Gavin.

"It's pointless…I don't think I ever deserved having a partner, much less another woman. It's like it's a crime to love women, so people like me need a "cure" to automatically love guys."

She then laughs in a slightly maniacal way, slowly losing her sanity.

"It's like the movies…it makes sense…maybe there's so much truth in that! Maybe Hollywood's right, there should only straight couple otherwise it's always hell for same-sex couples! TV shows, movies, anime…they're right! Even if you love a girl, you have to be cured by a guy! Heh heh...heh..!"

Lily then laughs maniacally as the others look in confusion at this bizarre turn of events.

"Well, I'm just gonna accept that, then! Maybe get Ben Affleck and cure my love of you, Michie, maybe cure you, too!"

She laughs crazily again, but then Michie punches her face, knocking her down as the rest of the group gasps.

"ARE YOU FUCKING MENTAL?! We've been together for months, MONTHS! AND YOU THINK THAT LOVING ANOTHER PERSON, REGARDLESS OF THEIR GENDER IS NOT MEANT TO BE?! WHAT THE FUCK?!"

This causes Lily to stop her insanity, straining a bit.

"…Did…I really say just that…?"

Michie then sobs and cries, "It's almost like you were about to go postal…"

Lily then stands up and gives her a big kiss on her lips, holding onto her for a while, and then they release the kiss.

"My brain suddenly went crazy…I'm…" said Lily.

"Sorry. I know that." said Michie.

"I know you two will find a way. After our rescue here, we won't also give up on you two being together forever possible!" said Keena.

"We'll support you throughout!" said Gavin.

"Us, too! Count on it!"

Both Lily and Michie finally then smile again and laugh.

"So…you thought the Gigli reference was a little weird? said Lily.

"Oh, yeah, that's the real reason people hated it. Jennifer Lopez plays a lesbian, then suddenly turning straight for one guy. Ugh."

"Why couldn't they make her bisexual? That solves the problem."

"Don't remind me of Mizuki from the ef: A Tale Of Two anime, though, that deserves a bigger "UGH", honestly."

"And many more examples that we can't really mention."

"Oh, amen. They wish they could be like us.

The rest of the groups then laugh at the conversation.

"It's always nice for a cheerful laugh after what we just saw." said Mio.

"Like back at the Academy, it even makes us go in hysterics!" said Gavin.

"All right, now that we got all the laughs and friendships together, how's about we head straight to the building to end this madness once and for all!" said Keena.

With everyone smiling, they all give out a loud yell. As they then run straight at where the building's direction will be, but then the person with the full-body black armor with a dark mask appear, right in front of them as he pulls out a knife.

"Don't move a muscle…" the person said in a slight quiet voice.

"Another ambush?!" said Mio.

"Something tells me he isn't exactly a good guy or girl…" said Michie.

Hazuki, Mio and Yuko then quickly notice the person's yellow eyes.

"I should deal with this." said Hazuki as she approaches the mysterious person and then goes into combat stance. "You wouldn't hurt me, would you?"

The person then just stands there likely surprised at her action.

"I…won't…even with Eiko's orders…"

Hazuki then hugs the person.

"I never thought I'd see you again…Ayumi Kodo."

[Ending theme]

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?
