Krystle, Jace, and Kim were escorted out of prison, as the guards saluted to them. The warden said, "We're so sorry this happened. I promise, St. Dolphin will be in tip-top shape again. We'll release a few to make room for Prison Island and Fort Rawls."

Steven glared, "See that you do."

Farra stated, "Again, we apologize for everything. Even if you don't believe us, bizarre stuff happens…"

The warden roared, "WELL, WHY COULDN'T YOU DO THE JOB, ANYWAYS? HUH? ANSWER ME, YOU BASTARDS!"

Farra glared, "You didn't ask…" She huffed sarcastically, "You're welcome."

She walked off, as Steven said, "Until said otherwise, they're under our watch. As of now, they're free to go."

The warden chuckled, "Eh-yeah… Well, then drop by anytime. We may need your expert skills."

They went to the limo, as Venus said, "Alright. Any place you'd like to go?"

Farra suggested to her, "Well, since we're in Florida, I thought maybe we should visit an old friend. Here's her address."

The limo drove off, as Jace said to the others, "I can't believe that priest was the one being Pale Snake."

Krystle said, "We all did. Azusa…"

Steven stated, "It's fine. I'm sure she will wake up again… possibly not too late. For now, we have the disc, but delivering it back to New York won't be easy."

Farra smiled, "Don't worry. Sis will bring it back to New York. Cassie's pretty good at fixing up dolls like her." she barked, "But I am NOT forgiving my asshole husband!"

Kim whispered, "I didn't know you were married…"

Steven said, "She's still butt-hurt because of what happened to Peter. Pale Snake took his disc, but we were able to recover it. We're just waiting for The Speedwagon Foundation to give us the news."

Farra said, "In the meantime, you guys will stay with my sister, Joanna, until The Gang learns of Ritsu's next move."

Krystle said, "I know what…" She explained, "I read the disc, before I returned it… Something to do with DIO." They all gasped, as Kim said, "Now that you mention it, you did mention MIO… The one your brother fought, long ago."

Steven said, "Then… I guess you knew what DIO planned before, but…"

"Chances are, he failed… So now, Ritsu is doing what DIO failed to do…" Krystle stated, "We can stop it for you. We'll seal away what Ritsu plans to do, again."

Farra stated, "That will be difficult… I'll explain when we arrive."

Krystle asked, "Then, you do know? North latitude 28 degrees, 24 minutes, West longitude, 80 degrees, 36 minutes?" Farra gasped, as she remarked, "We'll discuss that, later." Krystle thought, "She knows where."

The limo arrived at the house, as they stepped out. It drove away, as Farra called, "Thanks for the lift!"

They went to the house, as Kim asked, "Miss Stevens… Why are we–?"

"Call me Farra."

"Farra, why are we heading to your sister's place?"

"The only safe place for us, until we learn more about Ritsu's plan, and the Euphoria drug ring."

Jace asked, "Euphoria?"

Krystle explained, "Apparently, they have bigger problems, more than us."

Kim said, "I see… And you're saving us, more than stopping the drug?"

Steven stated, "No. We have friends back in New York. When this is over, Steven Cooke needs a vacation."

Farra replied, "We all do. For now, we have unfinished business." She rang the doorbell, as Joanna called, "Just a minute!"

She opened the door and asked, "Farra? Oh, hey. I got your call."

Farra smiled, "Hi… Sis, can we come in?"

Jace and Kim blushed heavily, "Wha–? She's…"

Jace blushed, "She's huge!"
Kim whispered, "She's big…"
Krystle sighed in disdain, "Gimme a fucking break…"

Episode 13 – Chapter 2: Oka's Plan!
Real Ninja's Master Plan!

Oka was in her limousine, as she was heading back to her office.

"I see… You're staying in Florida, right?" Oka was on the phone with Ritsu, "Very well… The job is done. But what you failed to learn is that those prisoners are still alive, and given a full pardon!"

She paused, as Ritsu called, "It's no matter at all. Let them be free. Because either way, they cannot help The Gang. We already won."

"Maybe… But the job isn't done, until we accomplish our goal. You find what you need, and I'll meet you there. Heaven is yours… but you know my part of the bargain, Ritsu Tainaka…"

"Be patient… By the next New Moon, you will get yours. Trust me. Everything will fall to us… A new beginning will unfold."

"I hope you keep your end of the deal. Otherwise, I won't be generous, next time. Do not fail me, this time, Tainaka… This is your last chance! Make it count! And I'll meet you then." She hung up, as she was upset. "Why do I hire such inept and screwy people… Driver! Take me to my office."

Ritsu was sitting down, as she was annoyed, "Krystle Giese… a FULL pardon… WHY? I thought she'd rot in jail, or even become a fugitive. But she and her new boyfriend just broke out. Did The Gang saw through my veil already? No matter… I will eliminate them, soon enough. But I have to hurry."

The limo took a right turn, as Oka relaxed.

"The Gang are this close to stopping me… especially since it's two places at once. While I distribute Euphoria to the world, Ritsu is going to usher in a New Heaven." She said, as she looked in her briefcase. "This little beauty is all I needed… especially since I had to return to where it all began…"

2016…

(Oka): When the Moji Mikisa came along, the world was melding and personalities were changed drastically. An AU World Fusion was all it was, according to sources. I, however, was assigned to investigate the area of where it all began. A man by the name of Chris McLean took credit for the alternate world fusion, and made it his own playground of bloodshed, death, torture, and despair; when in reality, Father Pucci was the one who meld the worlds, as it is. But since Pucci's dead, McLean took all the credit.

Oka searched into the rubble of what was once Chris McLean's evil mansion, when he ruled the worlds, first time out. She then discovered something within the rubble, something glowing inside.

"What is this?"

(Oka): Naturally, I piqued my interest, since I was still in high school, when it happened. I was a ninja of the Kazamatsuri Clan, and I was ordered by my sister-in-law, Kamina, to search the remnants of the origins of one Onigiri – the infamous demon that terrorized the worlds, until her demise. Until…

She dug into the debris and saw a crack. It shone golden energy, and Oka said, "Amazing… This energy, it comes from inside the underground area of the mansion. Possibly gold, but–. I can sense it…"

(Oka): Long before Real Ninja was established, I decided to hire help to excavate the area. But I had to be sure NO ONE knew of my claim – MY claim – So, I hid the light using piles of dirt, and declared the area inhabited.

Oka made her escape, afterwards, and reported to her clan of her findings. She lied to them about some mysterious energy, but the energy faded to nothing, upon discovery. She was ordered to find more energy, and use it to learn more about it.

Four years later…

(Oka): Real Ninja was formed, and during the Pandemic, I hired some of my friends to assist me in excavation of the area where Onigiri slewed Chris McLean. I learned later on that Chris McLean created Onigiri, via a Frankenstein Effect, and he was viciously killed. And why? Because she was of Precious Powers… and a pure heart.

Tsubame, Hijiri, Hayuki, Iroha, and Ran were digging, as Oka was supervising. Iroha shoveled out some dirt, as Hijiri climbed down the dark tunnel below. The ninjas were accompanied by a couple of android ninjas, as they were surrounding the area.

Iroha suddenly found the same golden energy. "Oh?" She used a pickaxe and chopped down the stone. She called out, "EVERYONE!" They raced to the golden light, and Iroha said, "This must be what Oka saw."

Tsubame replied, "So, it's true."

Hijiri gasped, "So Punk Rock!"

Ran smiled, "Beautiful… We're rich! RICH! Oka, we're rich!"

Hayuki barked, "SHUT UP AND DIG!"

"OH! Right!" Ran gasped, as she started picking the stone with a pickaxe.

The ninjas dug through, until the golden light they saw was actually a golden ore, in the shape of an egg… the size of a football.

One of the robot ninjas saw it, as Iroha nodded to it. The robot ninja said, "It is done."

"You found it?" Oka said, "Good! Let me see. Turn to me!"

The robot ninja in blonde hair turned to her right. Oka hissed, "Other way…" The ninja turned left, facing the others. She was on a TV monitor.

(Oka): By the way, Kamina was sick, after she was tested positive for COVID, so I stayed home. But I didn't shirk from my mission. At home, I saw what I was dreaming of… Chris McLean actually kept this for over ten years…

Hayuki said, "So, we struck gold? Figures. We just stumbled onto Chris McLean's gold mine."

Oka said, from the monitor, "It's not gold."

Ran gasped in fright, "NO! It's fake?!"

"IMBECILE!" Oka yelled, "It's NOT gold! But what I have been looking for… Crystalized Australium."

Tsubame gasped, "Australium? But I thought there was no more Australium."

Iroha said, "Yeah, that stuff is scarce now! You cannot find any more Australium in this land."

Oka said, "Oh, of course. There is no more Australium left in the worlds… just we haven't dug deeper enough, Tsubame-dono."

Hayuki huffed, "Now I've seen everything…"

Oka barked, "Oh, you haven't seen anything yet." She snapped her fingers and said, "You! Touch it. Observe, ladies."

One of the androids, Lily, appeared to the stone, and her body was coated in gold. They gasped in horror, as Oka called, "STAND DOWN! Just watch."

Lily was human again, only with brand-new abilities, and with glowing yellow eyes and dark skin with glowing red veins. "I live again… Yes…"

This was how Lily Fuma was reborn in Oka's rule.

Iroha gasped, "No…"

Oka cried, "Don't give me that look! Once we have everything in place, and the worlds under our protection, I will create enough Australium to upgrade each and every one of these outdated mechanized mannequins… and then, when we have The Gang eliminated, I will be unstoppable."

Hayuki asked, "The Gang?!"

Hijiri sobbed, "So not Rock and Roll!"

Oka barked, "Oh, please… Do you have any idea how much collateral damage they made, since the worlds came to be? And no, not just some pathetic little girl with the Herbal Zester, as THE Chosen One… I'm talking about them. I originally planned to excavate the Power Cores and remodel Jewel Women Androids into my unstoppable army, but… The death of the vampire, MIO, was the roadblock to my nefarious schemes. That is, until I kept this secret for so long…"

Hijiri asked, "Eh? Nefarious?"

Tsubame whispered, "Wait… You did this to get back at The Gang? What'd they ever do to you?"

"Oh, please!" Oka barked, "They were digging here, too! They just didn't find out about the true treasure I seek. And I have nothing against them… except that they are in the way. Nothing more, nothing less."

Ran whimpered, "You kept this all to yourself, and you never told us?"

Oka explained, "It was either this, or the Mt. Fuji Power Cores. I chose the latter, but I was too late. In hindsight, not my best choice for resources."

Iroha sighed, "Well, it was a complete waste of time."

Oka said, "Maybe… Maybe not… But still, better than nothing. Even so, I have what I was looking for… Not Chris McLean, not Tohru Honda, not even MIO… And… I will rebuild Real Ninja in my vision. And I have no use for any of you, anymore, ladies. You are a, uh… loose end. You'd only be in the way." She summoned, "Robots, seize the human girls!" Two robots in Oka's house grabbed Oka. Oka broke free and roared, "NOT ME! THEM!"

The robots surrounded the ninjas, as Tsubame gasped, "Oka! Why?"

Hayuki yelled, "YOU TRAITOR!"

They were caught by the robots, as Oka cackled.

(Oka): They fought well, but rebuilding Real Ninja with female androids was the perfect goal. If the Lin Kuei can do it, so can I. I took the reins of the faction, turned all my remaining allies into robots, and kept the source of the Australium within my reach.

Present Day… (about six months ago)

Oka then pondered, as she was wondering what to do with all that Australium.

(Oka): I figured I'd use my new ore to create perfect Murder Ninja Robots… But it's not enough. Sadly, I'm not so sure what to use it for, if I want to recreate my army… Until one day…

Oka was visited by Pale Snake, Ritsu's Stand. "I saw what you did, Oka Kazamatsuri." It introduced itself, "I am called Pale Snake. Perhaps you heard of me, 11 years ago… The day this world was made. I go by Night Samba now. Because if I stayed as Pale Snake, they would catch on. A fitting pseudonym for the Stand that ended a legend."

Oka smirked, "Ah… Pale Snake… I have heard of your legend. The Stand that single-handedly killed Jotaro Kujo."

How Oka was able to see Pale Snake was unknown, but Oka is a Stand User.

"My former master, Father Enrico Pucci, had a hand at ending the Joestars… only it ended in disaster, leading to this. My new master has a proposition for you. And even if you say no, you have no choice."

"Well… I need help trying to process and create more Australium, and create an endless army… But I cannot waste this ore."

"This ore?"

She showed it the ore, and he said, "Well, there are plenty of fembots and gynoids in Targus City. Perhaps create it as a way to rebuild the city as an army… using that stuff."

"Interesting… A source to deliver the stuff, via other means. I suppose…"

Pale Snake said to her, "But what if I told you that this wasn't the ore? We can recreate this Australium, and enter Heaven to find the motherlode. You and I, we make a perfect team."

Oka stated, "Team, you say… Well, I am intrigued with your offer. But I work alone, with my ninja army. But I am happy to cosign with you, if you give me the source of the Australium."

Pale Snake said, "That I cannot do. However, if you help me with one thing, perhaps I can reward you with what you desire. In exchange for all the Australium you can get, I will gladly have my new master achieve their own goal. The user that controls me doesn't want your money… and it doesn't want a seat in your Real Ninja empire. All I ask for you is to cooperate with us, and we can provide you with that resource, a lifetime's worth, if we are to succeed… In this, you will have power and control that you long to achieve."

Oka glared, "How do I know you won't double-cross me? Because I know that you won't… DO YOU?" She threw a kunai at Ritsu, hiding in the shadows, but she dodged out of the way. She said, as she was in her hood, "You're very spry and alert, for a Ninja. I admire your determination."

"Who the hell are you?" Oka barked.

Ritsu stepped out and explained, "My name and identity is not important. I, too, long for desire… You, you have the desire to create your army. I, however, want to reach Heaven… And it starts with The Gang."

Oka stated, "The Gang?! The very same clowns that destroyed everything, with their recklessness? Yes, I've heard of them. What do they have against you, pray tell?"

"For we live by faith, not by sight. – 2 Corinthians 5:7." Ritsu remarked, "They took something from me, and I have knowledge buried within the worlds. It was gone from existence, after my friend died… You heard of the Mt. Fuji Power Cores?"

"I do. I was going to use them, but the mountain was sealed away… forever."

"That's a shame. The Gang killed my friend… and ruined your life."

"They did… I hate them, so much…"

Ritsu said, "Then we agree… We have a common enemy. I am a member of The Watchers, allies to The Gang… but I chose to reveal my true veil, when the time comes."

"Should the time come. Then, you can have what you want… When's a perfect time to unleash your plan?"

"Soon. But I need to know when and where. You see…"

(Oka): She explained to me that she knows of the vampire, MIO. She also knows about a secret of reaching Heaven, which in turn created the Moji Mikisa to begin with. Sadly, the notes, obscured and written by DIO Brando, were burned away, after MIO was killed by the giant, Peter Giese.

Oka was sitting in her seat, as she closed the briefcase. She narrated, "But today, the information to reach Heaven was obtained, after Azusa Nakano was killed… and Ritsu-dono stole her memories. We worked out a deal… I had her Stand, Pale Snake, upgrade my army with Stand Discs, making my generals strong enough to stop The Gang and their allies. In return, she offered me a way to make robot girls salaam to my will, so I can make them join me… Euphoria. The drug I made is very intoxicating, and can disable anybody. But lately, the drug shipments are being stopped, and all my generals were defeated and destroyed."

She relaxed and smirked, "But even so, without the man that slain the vampire, Peter Giese, in their arsenal, The Gang are helpless to stop our plans. She takes Heaven, while I take this world, in exchange for the unlimited Australium that I can find and create. New York is one area that Euphoria will kick in, but the other is in Florida, and the spot to where the Moji Mikisa was unearthed and created. The recreation of a New World… a Perfect World… will be born.
Azusa Nakano is dead, and she cannot stop me.
Peter Giese is still alive, yet he'll never make it, in the condition he is in; especially it is to save his own sister, who has a Stand now.
Steven Cooke cannot stop me. He wanted revenge on Tohru Honda, but… Tohru Honda is dead."

She grinned, as she held up a small rice ball pendant, "But not for long…"

The limo stopped, as Oka groaned, "Driver! Will you watch it?"

The driver said, "Sorry, ma'am. We're here."

Oka grumbled, as she stepped out. She saw Hotaru, battered and beaten, as Oka asked, "Hotaru-dono… What happened?"

Hotaru groaned, "I lost… but they are fools. We lost Obnubi, but they only delayed the inevitable. I failed you…"

Oka responded, "Then it's alright. I got off the phone with Ritsu. Our objectives are now complete. She's on her way to the area where her goal is achieved."

Hotaru asked, "Where's that?"

Oka revealed, "Cape Canaveral – Kennedy Space Center! We have worries of our own, however."

Hotaru kneeled down and said, "Anything I can do, Oka?"

Oka responded, "Yes… Get Lily. It's time we finish off The Gang… once and for all. They want to stop Euphoria in New York… then they come here, instead. We're continuing distributions in Florida, and spreading the drug, all over the US, and soon, the entire world. If they want to stop Euphoria, then the Florida plant is the only plant they haven't stopped."

"And Ritsu?"

"Her matter is resolved. Once she is able to open Heaven, everything will go our way."

"But… What does that have to do with Onigiri?"

Oka paused and replied, "I see… Awakening the goddess that causes chaos. Well, that's still on the table… It is time." She turned away and said, "Soon, The Gang and their allies will learn not to get in our way. The worlds, the universe, and the multiverse… will be ours."

That evening, Asahi visited the old building of The Agency, The Gang's old AAW Building. Asahi called, "Hello? Anyone here?"

A dark-skinned woman in black hair was sitting in the office, as she said, "Ah, Agent Sakurai of–, uh, well, No Name." She was Lana Kane, one of The Gang's old allies and head of The Agency.

Asahi smiled, "Don't worry. It's taken care of, Miss Head of The Agency. Also, congratulations."

"Aw, thanks. And listen, a while back when we caught Fabian, and put shit into Slater (before he died), thanks for letting us get him."

"No problem. And I am sorry I flipped. Either way, I thought I come by in the old building, and maybe reminisce." Asahi sat by the desk, as she was offered a drink. She refused and said, "No thanks. So… How's AJ?"

"She's doing well. Got custody, after the divorce from Robert, and everything went smoothly. It's thanks to you, we have been a solid unit, like you guys." Lana questioned her, "Though, I kinda have things to ask about your actions, as of late."

"Don't worry, Miss Kane. We have done bad stuff before." She looked around and said, "You know, looking back, this used to be ours… and of course, what happened with Miss Archer."

"To be honest, Archer was right. Malory would be proud of us, knowing that we're continuing her dream. And despite being #2 ahead of Archer, you're an excellent field agent and detective."

Asahi nodded and said, "Yeah… … … … …" She paused and replied, "Well… Lana, we're just going on a huge mission, before the end. So, I want to make this quick, before I head back. Over a decade, we were a unit… Despite what we all have been through, we'll always be allies."

"Hey, same here. I mean, if we ever reunite, under your new name, I hope the two of us can resume what we've done. But hey… You've grown, ever since meeting The Gang. And that's coming from me; not anyone else."

Asahi nodded and smiled to her, knowing she was right, "Miss Kane, thanks. You will make a great leader… but…"

"Hey, don't sweat it. Your time will come. Promise. Whether it be Steven, Farra, or Peter, you are always a part of the team. You guys are reckless, and we're more of twice than that… but hey, we did get the job done. And now that IIA and Fabian are done for, we couldn't be happier."

Asahi agreed, "Hey, you're right. I know you're alone here, but… Just don't tell them I was here." She walked off and said, "And thanks again. We'll meet someday, Lana Kane… Someday…" She bowed her head in worry, as Lana stated, "Ohhhh, shit… Something happened, huh?"

Asahi said to her, "Miss Kane, there are things you won't understand. In this world, corrupt and deadly as it is… things can be also bizarre." She bowed and walked out of the building.

Sterling Archer asked Lana, "Was that–?"

"She's just visiting." Lana stated, "Archer, what do you think of Asahi Sakurai leading The Gang, if they made their new name for their agency?"

Archer said, "Well… That depends; I was hoping Asahi would be nervous… but… If it were up to THE World's Greatest Agent, Steven Cooke, whereas I… am third place… then that decision is up to them alone."

"And meaning…"

"I chose you to be my boss, because you're the most strategic part of the group… and Asahi is like you."

"Aw… Thanks."

They share a drink together, as Lana said, "I did ask Asahi for a drink, and she said no."

"Good. More for me." He chugged down.

Lana thought, "Gang… You got this. I won't ask what it is, but good luck."

Asahi was outside, as Mundy called, aboard the BattleVan, "Oi! You ready!"

"Yeah. Where to?"

"My place. Not far from here." Mundy said, "Figure we meet there, since Real Ninja already knows where we are. We'll go back to Saint Venus, once we end Ritsu and Oka."

She stated, as she stepped in, "Swell. Best to keep private. Let's go."

XXXXX

The Gang relocated to Mundy's place, a small complex apartment near downtown, as they received the disc from Farra & Steven.

NOTE: During their return, and Sterling Archer's sabbatical (aka his 3-year coma), Mundy purchased himself a small apartment for his own privacy, which he also doubles as an armory, for his stockpile of guns, ammunition, and weaponry (for mission purposes only).

Asahi crashed onto the floors, as the disc flew out of her head. She groaned, as Miki whispered, "You alright?"

Asahi moaned, "Ow… What a head rush…"

Chazz said, "Asa, what did you see?"

Asahi stated, "The disc they sent us… It was right on the dot. Ritsu Tainaka's next plan… It's this…" She explained to the others of DIO's plan to obtain Heaven, "Go there… Wait patiently for the New Moon…"

They all gasped, as Cassandra whispered, "The New Moon? That's six days from now!"

Mundy growled, "Dammit… We have to head to Florida, and stop this!"

Miki said, "What of the disc? Azusa needs this."

Cassandra said, "Chazz and I will try and revive Azusa. After we bring her back, we heal her… and then she will tell us how to stop Ritsu from causing Armageddon."

Mizuki explained, "Farra and Steven chose to stay with Krystle and two others. Peter, however…" She bowed her head in sadness, "I don't think he'll make it… He's alive, but, if he arrives, in his condition, it'd be too late."

Asahi said, "It wouldn't be the same, without him… neither would Farra or Steven."

Mundy said, "The Gang, as a whole, has to stop Ritsu Tainaka, once and for all. Azusa knows the truth… but we have to head to Florida, and stop them."

Miki said, "I'll go with you! January, Yamabuki, and I have sat in the sidelines, for far too long!"

Yamabuki said, "Agreed. But whatever danger awaits ya, we cannot… no… will not, assist."

Miki whispered, "I forgot… You have no Stand, and facing Real Ninja will lead to past drama."

Yamabuki bowed her head and said, "I'm sorry… but I can't assist ya, this time."

January called, "I'll do it!" She stepped forward, "For Cassie's sake, I'll help out."

Cassandra stated, "I appreciate it, but no. You and the others stay here."

Mundy shook his head and said, "Nah… Let her. What harm can it do? We got Princeton, after all."

Chazz said, "Any broken part snapped off of you, I'll fix it with Ojama Star. But still… This is just great. We have less than a week to stop Armageddon from happening to our multiverse."

The Gang agreed, as Cassandra said, "Then it's agreed. Chazz and I have to return to Casa de Munecas, first. We'll join you, afterwards."

Yamabuki nodded, "Then, I shall return to MEA, until ya are successful. My job is done."

Miki bowed and said, "I want to help you, but I cannot let you guys get hurt… I'll stay in New York, in case anything goes awry."

Chazz replied, "Then, I shall stay with you." January sobbed, "WHAAAAAAAAAAT? You said you'd fix me!" Chazz said, "I made up my mind. Someone needs to protect Miki… but Asa, she can handle it on her own."

Mizuki barked, "Jesus, can we please plan on what and how we can stop Ritsu?"

"There is a way." Percival appeared and said, "The Gang, as a whole, they said. Farra and Steven will be in Florida with Joanna. Peter's still in Dallas, recovering. And the rest of you… You have to go there. Mundy, Mizuki, Asahi, and Cassandra… You join the others. The rest of us stay in New York, in case something else goes awry… Real Ninja may strike again, if we leave defenseless."

Chazz nodded, "Fine by me." Asahi sobbed, "Chazz, nooo…"

January replied, "Then, if you need us, April and I will head to Florida to assist you…"

Miki bowed, "I'll do my best, sir."

Yamabuki grinned, "Well, looks like ya did somethin' after all, eh, fam?"

Percival huffed, "Shut up, Yamabuki…" He stated, "The last thing we want is failure… We have ONE shot at this. We fail, it's over. We fight, as a team. There's six of us, and only two of them – Oka and Ritsu. Without Peter, we're sunk, but we've handled things by the skin of our teeth, during his absence."

Mizuki said, "He's right… Gang, we have one shot. What do you say?" She held her hand out, "For Peter…"

The four members nodded, as Cassandra replied, "I'm in."
Asahi nodded, "Hm."
Mundy responded, "For the big lad and the others… Count me in."
Mizuki smiled, "Thank you."

They held their hands out and cheered, "FOR PETER!" Asahi called, "Alright, let's end this! GANG!" They cheered, "LET'S GO!"

They raced off, as they passed a woman in black hair, wearing a white shirt and black vest and pants. Mundy said to her, "Cover for me." The woman smirked, as The Gang made their exit.

Miki asked Percival, "Aren't you going with?" He replied, "No… This time, I'm letting them do the job. I've done enough."

Yamabuki responded, "Don't let Onigiri's revival get to ya. They got this."

Percival whispered, "God help us…"

Meanwhile, in Florida, Ritsu was pondering to herself, as she noticed something was wrong with her hands. A woman passed by, carrying her groceries. She stumbled and dropped her eggs. Ritsu caught them and said, "Here…"

The woman got the eggs back, and Ritsu walked off. She gasped in horror, as the woman opened her carton of eggs. Inside, there were baby chicks coming out. And they were healthy and spry. They pranced off, as the woman was shocked in fright.

Moments later, Ritsu was at the park. She looked at her hand, trembling.

"I haven't the foggiest of what happened. For all I know, this isn't Pale Snake anymore…" She said, "What is this power? I feel terrible… Something is raging out of control, right inside me, there's some sort of independent power coursing inside me, ignoring my will."

She remembered MIO, "But oddly, I feel hope in this power… Hope is the one and only thing I feel from it. MIO's note, similar to DIO Brando's note, recorded from Jotaro Kujo… Perhaps that is what I need to control this power then!"

She figured it out, "Yes. The time and place: North latitude 28 degrees, 24 minutes, West longitude, 80 degrees, 36 minutes. Delightful. Heaven is there, after all. The place is… Cape Canaveral, Kennedy Space Center!"

She called out, looking up, "It's to take place in the New Moon! Six days from now!"

Ritsu was on her way to Kennedy Space Station, the final goal to opening Heaven. The Gang is on their way there, as well. But who will get there first?

[New Moon: In six days…]

To be continued…
