While the drama went on, meanwhile at Washington DC, Venus called a meeting about the pardons for Krystle, Kim, & Jace.

(Newscaster): We're at Day 1 of the Official Pardon of three innocent people, who were wrongfully accused by various people. We'd tell you more, but we'll let the trial explain.
The first of three accused is Krystle Giese, a young lady from Chicago, accused of hit-and-run vehicular assault and first degree murder, serving 20 years in prison. She is the sister of Peter Giese, freelancer agent of World Government, who is currently under medical suspension.
The other is Jason Brighton, a young man from Virginia, serving six years for robbing a local bank, though had no idea what and why.
And the third victim is Kim Cheonsa, a Korean girl living in America, and daughter of National Diet member, Kang Cheonsa. She is associated with Jason Brighton, with a crime that remains unknown and mysterious, but according to sources, it's only for 10 years..
All three people are currently in St. Dolphin Prison, located in South Florida, and are underway with the closed-door pardon hearings, as all three prisoners are being examined for parole, due to new evidence given, thanks to World Government officials. As of now, the three prisoners will remain in prison, while the hearings proceed, as lately there has been some bizarre issues in the jail. We shall give you full details, after the first day of testimonies.

Krystle was dragged away to her cell at the Punishment Ward, as Farra and Steven were taking her.

"So far, it's underway, and we'd expect results, soon enough. You'll do just fine, but we fear this will not go away, until Pale Snake is stopped."

Krystle asked, "Then why are you dragging me?"

Steven said, "Orders are orders. You caused a scene, but they had no idea what you just did… They don't believe us, if we told them, but your reputation has been well-known to cheese others. So, we insisted that you stay in Ultra Level Solitary Confinement, until things blow over."

Farra replied, "And don't worry about your friends. We'll watch over them, too. Not the brightest we had, but we want to be sure that Pale Snake is stopped, likewise Euphoria."

"Euphoria?"

"A drug. It's been spreading like wildfire." Farra opened the cell and said, "That reminds me…" She and Steven threw her in, as Farra said, "We could ask the guards to check if they harbor any Euphoria, before incarceration."

Steven said, "Good idea. It could spread here, so… There's no telling when."

Farra nodded, as she said, "Don't worry about yourself. Your brother's safe, but our mission is far from over. You'll be outta here, in no time." Steven explained, "Now… Since the deaths have been caused lately, and you've been a suspect in this, all of your privileges are restricted. And moreover, your time length here is pending. In short, this is your new home."

Krystle said, as she sat by the wall, "See that you do. Not just for Peter, but for Azusa, as well… It's my fault I let Azusa die."

Farra said, "Don't worry about it. We got this." The doors slammed shut, and Steven and Farra walked off. Krystle smiled and said, "My brother's gonna be okay… only now, I am not leaving jail, yet… Not without that bastard, Night Samba."

She thought, "Knowing this batshit place, I have to stay focused. Stress kills your stamina. I have an objective… but until everything is revealed, I'm staying here."

Krystle waited in her cell, as she planned on getting back at Night Samba, the Stand known as Pale Snake, and its user, Ritsu Tainaka (whom Krystle has no idea who she is).

Meanwhile, in Dream High, Kim's Stand, she and Jace were waiting by the halls. She said, "So, it's starting… I have a feeling we're not free, yet. Besides, you only came here, because of me."

Jace said, "I'm certain. Jace be trusting these guys. But I have a bad feeling…"

"I know. The Gang… They know something that we don't." Kim stated, "I'll talk to her, later… maybe after I have time alone. Still, I can't believe Night Samba knew about us… yet Krystle survived, and her friend took the bullet."

"We'll be fine. Besides, you're not the only person I want that Jace Be back in prison…"

Kim stopped him and cried, "Your brother, right? I can't let you risk everything for me…"

"I don't give a fuck! I only got arrested… because of him. He killed my brother, and I was there, when it happened."

Jace was furious, as he only came to prison… because someone killed his brother, and he is right here in St. Dolphin.

We'll return to them, later…

Episode 12 – Chapter 1: Obnubi!
The Real Ninja Morgue…

At Obnubi, Percival, Asahi, & Cy were headed to the main office. A woman with long black hair and a red dress said, "Hello. Welcome to Obnubi. How may I help you?"

Percival said, "Percival Gaynes - FBI. This is my partner, Cy, one of your products."

Asahi introduced herself, "And I'm Asahi Sakurai, freelancer."

The woman said, "Ah, yes. Miss Zina has been expecting you, sir. You two, not so much. But you are allies… and yes, you did recover our operatives… even Miss Tengge Yomoda."

Asahi asked, "Who?"

Percival said, "Miki Naoki informed me that another was caught with Oka's evil bug. But it's best to not speak of this here." He asked the woman, "May we see her?"

"Certainly." She buzzed in, "Ma'am…"

XXXXX

They walked into a huge computer room, as Percival called, "Excuse me, Miss Zina? Hello?"

Asahi asked, "Hey, who's ZIna?"

"Lady Zina, Empress Zina, or just plain Zina. She's the head of Obnubi."

"Hm? A woman runs Obnubi? I heard stories that it was manned by an old wise man."

"True… but he went mad with power, and Obnubi ceased operations for the time being. Some say it was dead and buried, but it would be years to reopen and clean up Naganobu Saion-Ji's mess."

"Nagano–? Wait… Is he related to Enju?"

"Yes. He was Enju's late grandfather. Now, Obnubi is run by the World Government, and Zina was chosen to reopen its doors… until…"

"Oka Kazamatsuri would usurp power, and Real Ninja was born?"

"No. Real Ninja was formed, when Obnubi reopened." Zina said, as she appeared, "Oka would poison it, betraying us, and turning her former partners into gynoids…" She was a woman with long red hair and wings, wearing a revealing red kimono, and with giant breasts (100cm - H-Cup).

Asahi blushed, "What knockers…" She stammered, "Eh-I mean, it's an honor… to… uhhhhhh…" She was embarrassed, holding her chest.

Cy cheered, "Zina!" She hugged her and said, "Ah, Cy, I see that you're still operational."

"Hm! Onii-chan has pwotected me, especially the monsters in Meguwi-gah-oka High. I did it, widdou fail!"

"Funny… Your success rate has recently dropped to 80%. That's no good, dear…"

"Is that bad?"

Percival said, "Not at all. I believe you know why I am here."

"Yes, I do." Zina said, as she held Cy, "But first, I'd like to take Cy from you, since it is time for her upgrades. We shall speak, while we wait. Cy, wait in the lab, and prepare yourself."

"Okay!" Cy walked away, as Asahi waved, "Bye, Cy. Okay, Miss Zina… I'm gonna level with you…" She explained, "You heard about Oka Kazamatsuri, the traitor…"

"I do. We'll talk in my office."

They departed to Zina's office, as Asahi explained what happened.

"Since the Euphoria drug emerged, female robots have been infected by 65%. Thanks to our teamwork, it has dropped to 40%. Real Ninja operatives have appeared all around the U.S., and most recently, one of your robots hit Cincinnati."

"I see… Then they are coated with Euphoria?"

"No, much worse… You heard of a Stand called… Pale Snake?"

Percival said, "We know it as Night Samba. Father Enrico Pucci's Stand from 2011, 11 years ago. He was responsible for this Moji Mikisa, when he unleashed Heaven, all for a vampire named DIO. And these…" He showed a compact disc, "This was one of Pale Snake's weapons. Implanted into a fembot, they obey the orders of the Stand."

Zina asked, "How do you install it?"

Asahi said, "Anywhere. It's a magical disc… only it is coated with evil. The orders are printed inside, but this disc is blank now. It was recovered by one of our allies, and under examination. Iroha Yabu."

Zina gasped, "Oh, dear… So, that's why you gave me the broken dolls?"

Asahi said, "We had to subdue them. They obey only Oka & Pale Snake. We're sorry."

"Don't be. You're already forgiven. But I am sad that they were converted into evil dolls of destruction… We had so many robots brought back, after they were destroyed…"

Asahi asked, "How many?" Zina said, "Plenty. But it's a mortuary there…"

One man in white said, "Miss Zina, Miss Yomoda is placed down, as we speak."

Zina said, "Thank you. I'll take it from here… Bring her in."

Tengge was being rolled in, still broken and lifeless, with her face locked. Her eyes were open and her mouth was with an O shape. Zina said, "I shall explain to you what Oka did. This is Tengge Yomoda, one of my star ninjas… only she was defeated and destroyed by one of your allies, Miss Naoki. And yes, I didn't believe you, until now… but Oka Kazamatsuri did something to them, turning them into lifeless gynoids. Watch…"

She opened Tengge's chest, showing a white casing inside. Zina pressed a button that said "Reset", and Tengge's body started to turn into vapor. Her skin dissolved, revealing her body to be an all-white robot dummy with long hair.

Percival gasped, "Is that…?"

Zina nodded, "This… is the real Tengge. Apparently, Oka Kazamatsuri converted her, along with the rest of her team, into gynoid dummies."

Asahi whispered, "Like in those vodka ads… This is despicable. They were turned into dummies, and have a mind created by Oka?! This woman is a monster!"

Zina said, "There is more to this story, Asahi Sakurai. Follow me." Tengge was being rolled away, as Zina escorted Percival and Asahi to the lab. She stepped in the elevator and said, "I'm happy that you recovered Iroha, and gave us back some of our rogue Real Ninja operatives, but the problem isn't just them and Euphoria. And it certainly isn't just this Pale Snake."

They stepped out and saw a huge line of dummies with various wigs on, in different colors, inside glass pods. Percival gasped, "No way… It's a gynoid cemetery…"

Asahi gasped, "And they're hideous." She paused and said, "What? They look like those robots in a Science Expo."

Zina stated, "Agreed. We have had a string of bad luck, especially with these women. We have had everyone that became these dolls come here. Only problem is… they were delivered to only us. And we have about forty, no… fifty gynoid shells."

"Wow… So many, but their hair remained… All silky, long, and a bit flat… But they all look the same." Asahi replied, "Do they all resemble each other's bodies?"

"Perhaps. But this is Oka's doing, after all… I could not identify them, as they were simply former shells of their former selves. I said that wrong, but… Oka is responsible for siphoning them from their bodies… all because of a secret." She showed a blonde dummy, "Found her, recently, during a trip to Vale. Won't say who delivered her." She showed a brown-haired dummy, "Here's one from Las Vegas. I could tell, since she was a Casino Bunny girl. Dozens of them… If only we can find out what is inside these robots, we want to know what's missing from them."

Asahi said, "I wish Cassandra was here to sense inside their metallic bodies…"

Percival went to the blonde and said, "There's no time. Zina, I want to check this one, in particular."

"Hmm? The blonde one?"

"Yeah… By the looks of her dents, she was a victim of Pale Snake. Maybe test her, first?"

"Perhaps." Zina said, "But I doubt you'd find something important."

XXXXX

The blonde gynoid was lying on the table, as Percival was examining its body. He then found something inside, "A-ha… There's the problem… Something locked up her gears." It was a pink substance inside. Inside her chest, the circuits were coated in the pink crystal substance.

"What the heck is that?" Asahi asked.

Percival said, "I don't know… but it's brimming in a corrupt aura… Zina, did the other girls have the same pink substance?"

"By substance, you mean these? Yes, but in various colors. However, removing it is impossible…"

Asahi said, "Hmm… Maybe I can try something."

Percival cried, "Asa, no! You may get infected and converted, too!"

Asahi replied, "Sorry, but I'm still human." She pressed the green button, and turned into a robotic version of herself. Asahi walked to the dummy and said, "We shall begin extraction of unknown substance. Idol Diamond, please prepare for surgery."

Her Stand appeared and removed the chest plate. Asahi robotically started to operate, as Idol Diamond was cleaning up the body's circuitry.

Zina whispered, "What is she doing?" Percival replied, "I wish I knew… This isn't like Asahi… Why is she–?" She looked at the bracelet and said, "I see… She's mastering her skills from the Bracelet of Gigantica. The green one is flashing, meaning she has–. Wait, I should ask her, once she is done. But I fear she may be infected… But Asahi is only human, after all."

Minutes later, the dummy was cleaned up, and Asahi put her back together. She held up the small substance in a glass container and said, "Finished. Operation successful. This substance is unknown, as further examinations are required. Tempting, since this is a bizarre source of crystalized agent that locks all gears up… but the body seems unchanged. Further reports show that a part inside is missing. Perhaps I may stay and examine each person, and maybe find a cure for you. It is a very custom objective for me, since I am capable of any job ava–."

"SPEAK NORMALLY!" Percival cried.

Asahi said, unfazed, "My apologies. I must not prolong my transformation. I am Mech-Asahi, gynoid helper for justice and hope. Always preserve life, and stay safe. Goodbye." She pressed the button, and Asahi moaned, dropping to one knee, panting, "My god… I am never doing that, again…"

"You would've turned into a robot, completely."

"No, I would've started to work for a Gynoid Hostess Club, as a tour robot guide. I tried to revert back, but my arms wouldn't respond."

"I see. So, the bracelet is accepting you?"

"Obviously. And I'm hoping to return to saving the cities. But right now, we have a crisis about this." She explained, "I don't know what this substance is, but it's a very difficult process. It's like… something out of a person."

Zina said, "Let me examine this substance, and I will see what the cause is… Perhaps we can be of such help. Obnubi is in your debt, for stopping Oka. Anyways, Cy should be done with her upgrades. I will inform you, when the test is complete."

Asahi smiled, "Thank you."

Percival said, "Come on, let's go see Cy."

They walked to find Cy, however, she was waiting in the dressing room, wearing a purple bra and panties. Asahi said, "Oops! Sorry, Miss! We were–." She paused, as the woman was with long light brown hair and purple eyes. She asked in shock, "Cy?"

Cy said to her, "Asahi… Onii-chan… My upgrades are finished." She was with an adult body with huge breasts, and she was speaking normally. "I am O.S. Sai Version 2.0 – Adult Model. I will perform any task, without fail."

Percival asked, "Cy?! My god, you've grown."

Cy said, "Correct. I did this as a request… Plus I was too short to drive. I did it for you, Onii-chan. I love you so much–."

"Eh-eh-eh! You know I'm married, Cy." Percival said.

Cy asked Asahi, "Asa, what do you think of my new body? I look twice as beautiful…"

Asahi blushed, as she was holding her anger, "Y-You look very… uh… nice." She thought in anger, "What kind of robot gets an adult body with massive titties?! She and Zina are freaks!"

Cy asked, "Anything to report, or are we done?" Percival said to her, "Zina is going to call us about the substance we found in one of the robots. Pink crystal. We fear it may be a clue to Oka Kazamatsuri."

Cy said, as she analyzed the substance, "I see… This substance is… Analyzing… Analyzing… Data found… Onii-chan, I'm afraid that this substance… is from Oka Kazamatsuri's body. The pink crystal is, in fact… Purified Cherry Blossoms."

"Senbonzakura?" Asahi asked. "Then… that means…"

Cy responded, "Oka turned these girls into gynoid dolls, and more… May I see one of them?"

XXXXX

She went to the blonde dummy and said, "Ah, so it is cleaned… This has no name or identity… but the one thing missing is her Bodhi Wave. Oka stole her Bodhi Wave, and turned her into a gynoid shell. Then she used her Purified Cherry Blossoms to cease her functions. I must forward this to Zina… unless…"

Percival asked, "Unless what?" Asahi asked her, "Wait… How did you know all this?"

Cy responded, "Because that woman… is not Zina. She's an imposter." She explained, "When I hugged her, I felt a small ticking sound inside of her… This is because Zina never made a ticking sound. After I was upgraded, I asked where Zina is… and he showed me to her." She showed a gynoid dummy with long red hair. They gasped, as Cy bowed her head, "Why would Oka do this to my creator? Why Real Ninja? Why my friends?" She sobbed, "Zina is… She's gone…"

Asahi said, "No, not yet. Cy, do you know what were Zina's last words, before her Bodhi Waves were taken?"

"I don't know… but all I found from one of the lab guys… was this…" She found a disc, and continued, "I knocked him out, knowing that he might be responsible, and I was right. Somehow, Fake Zina planted this inside, and turned my creator into this. I already checked myself, and I'm already clean and operational… though, my boobs feel a bit heavy…"

Asahi said, "That's all I want to know. Cy, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Cy nodded, "I am. But it's best if you say it… Lady Zina is an imposter. Now you."

Percival and Asahi replied, "The imposter is working for Pale Snake." He added, "Which means one thing… Oka Kazamatsuri… is a Stand User!"

Asahi nodded, "Indeed. She can see Pale Snake… and also the user. But does her Stand siphon away the Bodhi Waves from inside another girl's body?"

"No… Pale Snake can create discs." Percival said, "Oka's Stand can create these crystalized petals, and halt functions. Pale Snake can create new memories and Stands with its discs. But what does Oka's Stand also do? And what is it?"

Asahi said, "I'm scared to know…"

Cy asked, "OH! Asa, you did this work? Can I ask you a favor?" She turned around and said, "Please examine me."

Asahi blushed, "Uhhh… For maintenance?"

Percival said, "We have to stop the imposter Zina… Cy needs adjustments. But if I'm not mistaken, Zina only did this, to examine the crystal, just to get rid of us. We have to move fast."

Cy powered down and beeped, "Cy sleepy… Shutting down…" She bent down and her arms drooped. Asahi sighed in disgust, "Fine… But I need to be hydrated, if I wanna try again. Stupid powers…"

Asahi began to fix Cy, as Percival waited by the doorway. The fake Zina walked past the lab, and Percival stared down, "Imposter… There's got to be a clue…" The imposter walked into her office, and Percival snuck in. He peeked in the office, as the Fake Zina was sitting in her chair. She removed her red hair, which is a wig, and sighed, "Like, what a bummer…"

Percival gasped, "What?" He raced off, as Asahi was fixing up Cy. She huffed, "I refuse to wear the bracelet on green, on account that I may lose my mind…" She had Cy faced down, with her back panel open, showing her circuitry. Percival ran in and said, "Asahi, we have bad news. Cy was right. That wasn't Zina."

Asahi said, "I know. Cy told us."

"But why was she wearing a wig?!"

"Eh? Wigs?! That's my schtick! Well, I haven't done that in a long time…"

"Well, this is different, Asahi. See what goes on… while I fix Cy for you."

"Thanks. I needed to rest a bit… Plus, my body cannot rest up a lot…"

She headed off, as the Fake Zina was in her office, calling on her cellphone. "Hello? Like… totally… Yeah, totally. Eh? They huh? Uhh… Oh, okay… Listen, you got a legit score of what goes on? Real Ninja operatives are being repaired, as we speak. Uh-huh… Yeah? Right. DO NOT reactivate them… Of course. Failures are not given second chances. Yes, fer sure, fam. And Yamabuki? Hmph… She got away… Damn! Listen, girlfriend, I got an android with me, and she brought two of The Gang's allies, Sakurai and Gaynes. Despite our failure, your soldiers will be retooled and reworked. If only we learn of Iroha's whereabouts. Anyways, you give me the score… Yes? Okay then… Gotta go, girl." She hung up, as he stood up, with her back turned, and her camel brown hair flowing down.

"Now I know you're not Zina." Asahi said, "You're an imposter!"

The woman said, "So what? I have worked with Obnubi, and with Real Ninja, since you losers returned."

"I want to know who you are. Are you with Real Ninja? If so, you're working for the wrong team, and why you turn Zina into one of those gynoid ad-girl mascots–, or whatever. Cy told us everything, including pink crystals that turn women into machine dummies. Now I want the Bodhi Waves. And hopefully to locate the real Zina, too."

"You'll get nothing from me!" The woman turned around and changed into her light beige ninja outfit. She said to Asahi, "Real Ninja appointed me as the CEO of Obnubi, usurping Zina. Like, I totally stole the seat, the moment Euphoria hit shelves, until you came along. Yes, you stopped us, but you cannot stop the Euphoria."

"What kind of freaks are you?"

"The same freaks that are superior to you humans. Real Ninja and Obnubi are one, and we produce Euphoria… And you cannot stop our plans."

"Make me!"

Asahi prepared, but the woman said, "Don't you dare change into Mech-Asahi! I can make you a robot, with the Senbonzakura."

"You… Would you do that?"

"Yes… Even humans can change, combined with Euphoria and Senbonzakura."

"Senbonzakura? This is your doing, isn't it?"

"Yes. It is."

"Well, I may be bluffing, but I'm dead serious now." Asahi dispersed, "I won't let you or Oka Kazamatsuri pervert this company, with your black magic…"

The woman smirked, "You will try." She leapt up and swung down a chain and sickle. Asahi avoided it, and landed a swift right kick to her chest. Asahi called, "Not much of a fighter, huh? Eat this!" She stamped down, and the woman avoided her stomp. She was bleeding a bit, as Asahi said, "Strange, I thought you gynoid ninjas bleed milk."

Hotaru said, "We're not all robots. I, however, happen to be a business partner. And for the record, I am NOT a ninja. You can call me Hotaru Kokonohi, Real Ninja Operative. The, like totally, only human model… In short, I'm real. The one who chose not to be a robot, but loyal to the Kazamatsuri Clan."

"So, you do work for Oka!" Asahi snarled, "You monster!"

They stared down and prepared to fight again. They exchanged blows, but Asahi kept missing her target. Hotaru laughed, "Like, you're too slow. OMG, you're out of power!" She launched a wave of cherry blossoms to her, and Asahi blocked it with Idol Diamond, "IDOL DIAMOND!" She stepped back, as Asahi said, "I don't need Mech-Asahi to beat your skanky ass."

Hotaru grinned, "So, you're a Stand User, huh?"

"Correct. And that's ONE robot you won't control with your damnable cherry leaves!"

"Hmph. As if. My power is only for robots, not Stands. Besides, why would I even want to bait you to become Mech-Asahi? I can just take your powers, with an inch…"

She slashed her sickle down, but Asahi avoided it. She called out, "You're weak, Asahi Sakurai! Oka made it quite clear to eliminate you!"

"Eat me, coward!" Asahi yelled. "I will tear you apart, and put you to justice! Still… the Bodhi Waves. You would siphon her human form, just to coat her in your poison cherries."

Hotaru giggled, "Well, I have a confession to make… I'm not responsible for the Bodhi Waves. And even if you kill me, you won't get them back… even those failures that sided with us! Kill me, and bye-bye Bodhi Waves… I know exactly where they are."

"How?" She gasped.

"Isn't it obvious? Your own body… See, Oka and I have the power to convert and create life, even turning your withered husk into robots. The scary part of all this… is that most of the gynoids were once humans!"

Asahi gasped in horror, as Hotaru cackled, "See? This isn't just fembots turning into shells… This is humans turning into shells!"

"You asshole…" Asahi seethed, "Why and how did you convert these girls, and everyone in it?"

"The men are next, once we have everything ready. See… humanity has not much left to live, and like, Oka and I wanted to give our human race a little taste of Euphoria, before we put them away… not before extinction happens, that is, totally. We're a legit dying race! COVID-19 started it, and everything else in-between! You think you have a problem with life, start with everyone you slaughtered in the past!"

"They were evil."

"Uh-uh. Some were once good. But none were saved. Oka Kazamatsuri and I… we are like family. We're not robots, and we're not ninjas. We're partners."

"Partners? We'd believe that Satoko Hojo was in charge. So, what happened to her?"

Hotaru said, "She's dead."

Asahi nodded and said, "I thought so. Satoko Hojo was crazy, she would amount to turning people into robots, for her fun. But she doesn't have the intelligence to recreate drugs and conversion… That's on you!"

"So what?" Hotaru smirked, "Satoko was a pawn. You think we'd care for her goals? Oka's was different. And I won't say anything…"

Asahi roared, "YOU WILL!" She punched her face, and Hotaru leaned back. Asahi called out, "Even if it means to protect Cy, as well… I won't let you do this!"

Hotaru smirked, "Freelancer. You're just a weak little ex-idol." She lunged at her, but Asahi jumped over her. She said, as she was airborne, "Maybe so, but I've learned a lot… Unlike you, Ninja Barbie!"

THWACK!
She hit a dropkick to Hotaru, and Asahi landed on her feet. Hotaru yelled, "LIKE, YOU'RE TOTALLY FUCKING DEAD!" She launched a barrage of cherry blossoms at her. Asahi incinerated them with Idol Diamond's laser eyes. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH USHA!" Asahi landed a huge barrage of punches.

SOCK!
"DORAARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA, DORA!" She landed the finishing blow, but her fist was caught by a figure with a huge claw. Its body was in a blue ninja outfit, with a bushy tail and ears, with a fox's mask on. Hotaru giggled evilly, as she said, "Too bad…"

Asahi stepped back and gasped, "A STAND! No… You're a Stand User, too?" She paused and said, "Hm. That was supposed to be my next question."

Hotaru shouted, "Oh? What was your next guess?" She landed a huge right to Asahi's face. She stumbled down, as Hotaru giggled, "You think you can defeat me? You're wrong. I do hope you'd be enjoying hell… Thanks to me!"

She landed a swift right to her chest. Asahi flew to the wall and was badly hurt. She groaned, "Shit… What is she?"

Hotaru said, "That's what I love about my prey – Helpless and weak."

Asahi kneeled down and moaned, "I won't let you get away…"

They resumed, as Percival was still fixing up Cy. But will he find out about Hotaru?

Meanwhile, in the chapel, Ritsu was studying Azusa's disc, as she was learning the notes of Jotaro Kujo from long ago.

"If someone wishes to go to Heaven, there may be a way…"

She then closed the book and concluded, "I will get there to Heaven… one day…"

To be continued…
