As Hazuki hugs who is supposedly Ayumi, Ayumi suddenly aims the knife towards Hazuki's chest. Hazuki then quickly notices this as she uses her knee to strike the hand and knocks the knife off the hand as Ayumi chuckles, then fades. Hazuki looks on with anger

"Shit…!"said Hazuki as she pounds the ground with her hand.

Mio runs to her, "An illusion of Ayumi…what was up with that…?"

"G-guys…remember when time stopped? Eiko mentioned how Yumi has supposed psychic abilities…this could be one of them." said Lily.

"She just messed with all our heads this time! Damn it!" said Gavin.

Yuko then fires a warning shot in the air, "Come on out there, Eiko! Stop hiding yourself and your allies already!"

"I'm not gonna lie, but…in terms of someone like Eiko, she pretty much can strategize whatever and whenever she wants." said Michie.

"I'm not so sure about that. Think about it, guys. We've been fighting in the past few hours while they're just relaxing and biding their time, but for the most part, we've been dominating over them so far." said Keena.

"Maybe they're a bit scared to come out, is that what you're saying, Keena-kins?" said Gavin.

"It's a good old fashioned battle between brains vs. brawn! Don't feel down, Hazuki, I'm sure Ayumi's still alive there!"

Hauzki then suddenly runs off.

"Well, she's got one hell of a head start." said Michie in a flat tone.

"She must run on "tricked" fuel." Keena said, chuckling nervously.

Lily then gasps, smacking her own head, for not saying it sooner, "WAIT!".

Hazuki then stops as Lily then continued, "Guys, when the time also stopped, Eiko mentioned that…this place is going to be nuked…!"

The group responds in gasps and with horrified looks.

"D-did she…r-really…?" said Hazuki.

[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 13: "You Waste Time Like A Grandfather Clock"

Yumi, in the SVC building, is seen chuckling evilly.

"Putting the cherry on top like that is just enjoying the little things!" said Yumi.

The rest of Eiko's gang then appear.

"Yumi, turns out Operation Make Lily Go Mental didn't work. I say we finally stop hiding and actually deal with them."

"But wait…what about the 4th level infectees? We should sic 'em with those babies." said Samantha.

"Yeah! Even if they'll lose, that'll give us time to pound on them to the pavement!" said Xavier.

"The mutation is taking surprisingly long, and regardless, the nuke is arriving in possibly less than an hour. And I might as well get a round against Keena. I won't have a cheap win like last time. Maybe better: I could leave her lying on the ground along her pathetic friends and domination in the real world shall be easily implemented upon me."

"Understood, ma'am. However, I don't if Samantha's in fighting condition with her metallic hand still damaged." said Yumi.

"Actually, my BF found a way to fix it." said Samantha giggling evilly.

"Ah, perfect. Didn't know you'd repair metal. How'd you do it? said Eiko.

"I told her to pound the fist into a wall." said Xavier

A small pause occurs.

"I'll just pretend some magical bullshit happened to repair it, instead. It's actually more believable." said Eiko.

"Wait, where's Icy Hail?" said Samantha.

"On the roof. She said she needs to store energy. She knows we'll have to fight, too. And it'll be quite soon."

Back with the hero group, as they plan out how to deal with the whole nuke plan.

"We'll have to find a way to somehow prevent it…" said Keena.

"You have magic, though, so maybe that could work?" said Gavin.

"I do recall Lily saying that it could work if it's in battle…depending if we face it face to to…missile." said Mio.

"We could make it backfire somewhat…" said Hazuki.

Keena then thinks for a bit, and then comes up with an unorthodox plan.

"I'll wing it." she said.

"Ooh, Keena's gonna improvise. I smell shenanigans." said Michie.

"Just hope it's nothing too dangerous." said Gavin.

"When push comes to shove, it'll be done." said Keena.

"Time to go in, then." said Yuko.

However, the door opens and Eiko's team then walk slowly out. A small pause occurs as both teams stare at each other.

"Well, that didn't take long, did it?" said Eiko.

"Guess not. If I won't defeat you, we'll at least will save this Earth!" said Keena.

Eiko then feigns an evil chuckle, "Oh, you're trying so hard, and I'd applaud you for that, but face it, you killing Mr. X is still sort of a facade."

"You really still don't take me seriously just yet, huh?"

"Not until you actually try to really beat me. Then my teammates are able to really see your power."

"Then I'm ready. Let's see how we'll fight."

"Heh heh…no."

"Huh? Are you tricking me or something?"

"Not exactly, it's just…with your teammates and mine, it'd be just distracting. I figured it should just be the both of us."

Both teams gave questioned looks, notably on Eiko's side.

"Wait, that wasn't a part in the plan…" said Yumi.

"Trust me, guys, I just want to smash her supposed pretty face in." said Eiko.

"It's so very obviously a trap…don't accept it, Keena." said Gavin.

Keena nods, "How would I trust a supposed ninja like you, then?" she said.

"Samantha, if you would, please." said Eiko as Samantha turns her metal hand into a button. "If Samantha pushes this button, it causes a bomb that is actually good enough to kill us all if you don't accept my challenge."

The rest of the group then react with disbelief, but also with caution.

"Jesus…she seems desperate." says Michie quietly.

Keena, with a confident look on her face, then nods, "If it has to be, it has to." she said.

"Keena…" Gavin responded, hugging her from her back. "Show her what you're made of."

Keena then turns around and gives him a kiss and hug. After a couple of seconds, their lips then part, "I know my heart is no doubt more confident as hers." said Keena smiling.

"You go, my girl." said Gavin.

"Oh and she needs to come with me, too." said Eiko, pointing to Hazuki.

Hazuki gave off a slight questionable look on her face, but then nods, "Okay, I'll go. It'll be quite hard to not slash your whole head off."

Eiko laughs, "I think I'll have that as a possible ringtone."

Hazuki then notices Mio also having a approved look on her face, starts to walk, but then turns around and plants a big kiss on her.

Yumi then sighs, "Not this again…is it obligatory, too?"

Hazuki the finishes the kiss, "We'll really be together when this all ends."

"O-okay! I'm sure you'll beat whoever you might face!" said Mio.

"Leave it to us to deal with her buddies!" said Yuko.

Hazuki then nods and then starts to follow Keena, following Eiko going inside the building.

"Well, well, now that those two out of our way, maybe it's appropriate that we tear you to shreds!" said Icy Hail.

"Hold a sec…how many of us and how many of you?" said Lily.

"I believe it's 4 against 5…in favor of us!" said Michie.

"I don't mind facing two. It'll be double the infliction! I especially wanna face that gunned girl and tiny one!" said Xavier.

"I'll face you, Lily! I may not have broken your spirit, but I might break you myself!" said Yumi.

Icy Hail laughs evilly, "Vampire girl, you won't get lucky this time!"

"I couldn't be bothered to take on Keena, so I'll just settle beating her boyfriend instead."

They good guys then think for a bit, but then nod, "We accept!" they all said.

They slowly form up battle stances.

(Fucked Up's "Days Of Last" plays in the background, starting at the 0:37 portion of the song)

"NOW!" all exclaimed.

They all then launch at each other's opponents.

Lily starts off with a Spherical Womp already, but Yumi then uses her mind powers to try to control Lily's own fists at her. Lily, however, was able to avoid it and control her fists again, but Yumi then appears in front of her and lands a couple of knee strikes on her face, but Lily then counters with a dragon screw, sending Yumi to the ground. Lily then tries to go for an elbow drop and is able to land it on her stomach, causing Yumi grunt a bit.

"That was a kind of people's elbow, if I say so myself." said Lily.

Yumi uses her mind powers to then cause Lily to suddenly space out, causing Yumi to give a cheap kick straight at her face, causing her to fall with her face looking flinched.

"The mind shall vanquish the sword. Or freakishly large hands, for that matter." said Yumi

"Unless I'll keep trying!" said Lily.

Yuko and Mio both take on Xavier, as Yuko uses her minigun to shoot at his chest, but the ammo just bounces right off.

"W-what the…?!" said Yuko.

"Ha ha! Your puny bullets are up against my now new impenetrable body!" said Xavier.

"Not if I try to blow your head!"

"Not a chance!"

Mio then finds a tonfa in her doll, "Then maybe I'll give you a blunt head truma!"

"What?"

"A really big boo-boo!"

Mio then lunges forward and tries to hit his head, but he dodges it and counters into an abdominal stretch. Yuko then jumps and attempts to shoot, but as soon as the shots fire, he catches the ammo in his hand. However, he accidentally lets go of Mio as she sweeps his feet, causing him to fall. She then attempts to strike him in the face with the tonfas, but Xavier then blocks both hands.

"Now what, huh?" said Xavier.

Mio thinks for a second, then headbutts him hard, which actually works and knocks him out.

"Holy goodness, that actually worked!" said Yuko.

"Lots of milk, Yuko. Milk."

However, Xavier then quickly wakes up and stands and grabs their legs, swinging them fast, then letting go, causing them to be thrown and land violently on the ground. Xavier would laugh throughout all this.

"I only feigned that! I'm surprised your head isn't the one broken!"

Both Mio and Yuko cough a bit of blood.

"Only know he's down due to almost lack of pulse." said Yuko.

"Ugh…gotcha." said Mio.

Icy Hail throws stalagmites against Michie, as she dodges by rolling cartwheels over and over. She then attempts to run straight at Icy, but Icy then throws ice cubes, but Michie dodges them as she's able to connect an axe kick at her face.

"Eat ground, human iceberg!" said Michie.

"Hell no!" said Icy as she then quickly gets up and backs away. She then launches a beam of ice.

"Oh, I can do the same, only much cooler-looking!" said Michie as she makes a beam of her own, which is darker looking. Both beams collide and they make a small explosion. A big smoke emerges from it as Michie then emerges from the smoke and attempts to roundkick Icy, but dodges it, turns one of her hands into stalagmite and stabs Michie in the stomach, who grunts a little.

Icy then laughs, pulling her stalagmite hand out of her, "You're nothing but a tag-along girl for your friends! You're gonna—"

"Not die? Oh yeah, my vampire-like powers improved so much that this is just a scratch."

"W-w-wha?!"

"Aim it at my heart, and I do die, otherwise…I just kick your zero temperature ass!"

She then unleashes a butterfly kick, launching her to a side of the building. Michie then gets on her knees and coughs blood a bit. "Still...that was real painful…now I know how it feels fighting Sub-Zero…or like Kim Jong-Il…or Trevelya…no wait, that was from above…"

Icy then tries to sneak attack her from behind, but Michie backfists her without even looking as she continues talking like nothing's happening, "No wait, maybe Sebastian Cane…"

Gavin and Samantha exchange punches, a combination of blocks and head connections throughout.

"I've been hit by boys before, but this is going to be ridiculous." said Samantha.

"My Keena-kins doesn't need to deal with you, cause you aren't important enough!"

"Then will she go for a shock when I beat her lover, of course, you!"

Gavin tries to kick her, but Samantha is able to grab his foot, only for Gavin to counter with an enziguri, knocking her to the ground. Gavin then picks her up in a fireman's carry and spins around 10 times. He then lets her stand as she's dizzy, so she walks around completely spaced out.

"Eh…heh heh…I feel so buzzed right now…" said Samantha, sounding like if she were drunk for some reason.

"Now you're gonna get it! Hyah!" said Gavin as he goes for a roundhouse kick.

"Just screwin'with ya!" said Samantha as she suddenly stops being dizzy, dodges the kick and uses her metal hand to stretch the hand as if it has springs and punches him hard in the face, causing him to flinch. She then opens her hand, sending out chains and wraps Gavin, spinning him around, then spinning him in the air, finally throwing him hard to the ground as he yelps out.

"She won't hear you, you know. Tough shit for you!"

"I…I know she can beat Eiko! I know she will! And your leader's gonna let you down!"

(the song ends)

Back inside the building, while on an elevator, Keena suddenly looks back with a worried expression.

"Don't even try to return to help your friends, or kaboom." said Eiko.

Keena growls slightly, but then calms down, "I'm guessing you're also trying to do this to other universes too, huh?"

"I promise you that this is the only alternative universe I'll fuck with. It was already ruined to begin with."

"Bullshit! We will recover from the infections! There'll be a cure for people everywhere in our world!" said Hazuki.

"Oh yeah, you…I'm aware someone's waiting for you. And before you ask, it's not your transsexual friend."

"T-the hell?"

"That Ayumi…thing."

"Ayumi's not…!"

"Ayumi's a transsexual, alright. I believe you heard him/her in both ways. It's like some sort of bizarre vocal effect in your brain that has you listening both the female and male side of Ayumi. Something tells me he/she is no doubt hiding something more personal from you."

Hazuki attempts to lunge after her, but Keena grabs her shoulders from behind.

"Keena! Let me go, goddamn it! If I kill her, it'll be over!" said Hazuki.

"Yes, but for us, too! This whole building will explode and with all of us surrounding it! And then we'll all be dead! You wouldn't be with Mio, or with Yuko, or maybe even with Ayumi!" said Keena.

"Don't show your anger with me, but with someone I'm pretty sure you're also angry with." said Eiko. He's in the floor where we're going.

The elevator stops and the door opens up, revealing another dark hallway.

"I doubt you'd have anybody else in there. Is is just another trap?" said Hazuki.

"Do as I tell you." said Eiko, now no longer grinning.

Hauzki growls softly as she now heads slowly exits the elevator.

"Hazuki…whatever you do, always know we're always pulling for you."

Hazuki gives off a small smile and nods, "I won't just not lose, I'll make a triumph."

The elevator's door closes. Hazuki takes a deep breath. "Come what may at me, whatever it's going to be."

A mysterious voice is heard, "Come what may indeed, my little girl…". Footsteps are then heard slowly approaching.

Hazuki then sees the figure approaching, looking a little appalled, "I actually am pretty pleased to see you again.", she said with a snark tone.

Meanwhile, the elevator reaches the top floor, both Keena and Eiko then exit out. The room they're located in is the same location that Hazuki mentioned; the place Ayumi killed Riichiro Ishida.

"This room looks surprisingly clean…" said Keena.

"It wouldn't make sense to not try to trash it up, huh?" said Eiko.

"I'd laugh, but I just can't when it comes to you.

Eiko then laughs a bit, "Guess you don't mind me laughing."

"Actually, no. Not gonna stop you in that department."

"Good, because even if I don't defeat you, stopping the nuke is good enough."

"Hm. Did Samantha really give you such a hard time?"

"Just a little. She couldn't stop thanking me for her new arm."

"Cause you're generous, even to us."

"No thanks, I'm taken."

Eiko laughs again, "I'm not gonna lie, but you looked pretty intimidating for once, even if you made me laugh. Have any remaining words before our fight?"

"It doesn't matter if I make you laugh. What matters is that I'm no longer the girl that would get easily captured, be a damsel, mind-controlled, oblivious to embarrassment, miss classes and be socially awkward. I'm a different girl now, but if there's one thing that's still with me is my cheer, and it's gonna drive me stronger, and with the help of my friends, I can no doubt do this! I am Keena Soga! And we'll win our war!"

[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?
