As the final battle has begun… let's draw the curtain on the climax, as we cut back to two days ago, the moment after The BattleVan arrived at Kennedy Space Station.

Two days ago – 79 hours until New Moon…

Peter, Asahi, & Cassandra were able to find a hotel, near South Florida. They have three days left, until the New Moon, and they have to meet with the rest of their allies, before it's too late.

"Madre mia… This isn't going to be easy." Cassandra said, "I'm going to get sweaty, if we walk."

"Cassie, just don't do anything that may tire yourself out." Peter said, "Knowing Michelle, we can find various ways to travel. However, we're focused on the Euphoria Plant."

"Right. The factory is in this direction, due east, about 2,000 miles."

"More work… Gimme a break."

Asahi was up high, viewing the land. She hovered down and said, "We go that direction. However, the Space Station and Factory are five miles apart. I think Ritsu & Oka knew of our forthcomings."

Peter said, "Good. Five miles apart. You girls handle the drug, my beef is with the priest."

Asahi stated, "I don't think you can win. Last time you fought Pale Snake, you lost."

"No, he jumped me from behind. Krystle did her best to stop Ritsu Tainaka… now it's my turn. I'm doing this for her, to save her life."

Cassandra smiled, "Well, that's good. She did get pardoned, so… We hope to help your sister avenge your sudden downfall. Without you, we'd be in trouble."

Asahi stated, "Cassie's right. You've been in such pain that we did your work. We're not saying that we don't need you."

"We do."

"But we needed everyone to stop Ritsu & Oka. But provided that the worlds stay as they are… we have only one shot."

Cassandra explained, "She's right. Father Ritsu won't unleash Heaven… If she does, and they win, we lose everything. Not just our goals, but our lives… and our world…"

Peter said, "No. If Ritsu wins, she's delaying the imminent fate of her own demise. We stop Ritsu… and Oka… and save everyone. My sister was the #1 means of family."

"Why did you go to St. Dolphin, then?" Asahi asked him.

He stated, "Because… I knew something was off. Krystle would never do something like that. My sister isn't a driver, and not a heavy drinker. And I cannot bear it, for my baby sister. I'd be lost without my own family… even my own mother. But I refuse… to let Pale Snake take my family away."

Asahi agreed, "Truer words. But next time, when you have a mission for yourself, tell us. We're all friends here."

Cassandra nodded, and said, "We were there, when we tried to find clues for Pale Snake. We had no idea that Ritsu Tainaka was responsible, until we learned more…"

Peter said, "You do you. And I'll do me. But my grudge is against Ritsu. So…" He walked off, as Asahi whispered, "There's no talking him out of it."

Cassandra stated, "He'll come around. But it's best we let him do his work. What happened with Krystle, horrible… And we're not going to let this psycho turn our world into extinction."

"Very so." Asahi remarked, "We might as well go, anyway."

They headed off, as they were closer to the Euphoria Plant. However, they were followed by two female ninjas, hiding in the darkness. They were hired by Oka, as her last line of defense. If they fall, then Oka goes after The Gang, alone.

Episode 14 – Chapter 3: (One Final Battle: Part 3)
Double the Ninja Trouble!
The Amazing Ninja Twins!

As they pressed on, they were looking for some transport. They found a lone car in the parking lot and decided to take it. Asahi said, "No one's here… We don't mind commandeering this vehicle."

"Isn't that stealing?" Cassandra asked.

Peter opened the door, "How can a car be alone, and with the doors locked? Plus, the license plate reads… D35P41R. Must be one of Junko's losers."

They stepped in, as Asahi said, "I'll drive… You two make sure that the enemy is lurking behind us. Besides… No telling when Oka or Ritsu may jump the gun at us." She drove off, as they were on the road.

Asahi looked at the GPS and said, "Destination: Kennedy Space Station." She pressed the button, but the GPS spoke, "Greetings. Welcome to the fully automated GPS System. My name is NOAH." She appeared on the screen, with black hair and red highlights, "Let's take you to your destination. In 300 meters, make a U-Turn."

Asahi asked, "Wait… We're going to Kennedy Space Station."

"Sorry, but my systems tell me that this place is off-limits. Would you like to go? In 300 meters, make a U-Turn."

"Where is that?" Cassandra asked.

"The police station. You three are carnappers."

Asahi cried, "This is an emergency! We need to hurry, or it could mean the end of the world!"

Peter said, "It's no use. This machine is broken."

NOAH said, "I'm not broken. I have restrictions. Just type in your destination."

Peter said, "What about here?"

He typed in "The Kingdom of Atlas". NOAH beeped, "BZZT! Sorry. My system say that that place no longer exists."

Asahi asked, "What happened to it?"

"Oh… Destroyed… massive flood? Big place, too… Must be hurricane."

"Well, where can we go?"

"You can go to jail."

"No, I'm not! We're not going to jail!"

"How about Fort Myers Parkway? It has a Fungi Museum, as a new prison."

"Uh, no–."

"What about Fort Hemsford? 30 miles west, and famous for its dead whores!"

Cassandra said, "I think we've already seen a dead horse for one day…"

NOAH smiled, "Okay, jail, it is! In 300 meters, make a sharp U-Turn!"

Asahi barked, "LISTEN! I'm not going to jail, and I'm done listening to a cunt computer that wants me to go to jail! DO YOU WANT TO DIE? IF YOU TAKE US TO JAIL, THE WORLD ENDS!" She ripped the GPS off the car and rolled down the window.

"NO-NO-NO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? PUPUPUPUT ME DOWN!" NOAH was malfunctioning, "YOU S-S-S-STOLE A CAR, YOU SHOULD GO HOME–! DDDDDDEAD WHORES–!"

She chucked the GPS out the window. Cassandra asked, "Uh… Are you sure you can do that?"

Asahi said, "She was getting on my nerves." She was at the wheel, as Peter said, "You seemed tense."

Asahi nodded, "Sorry… I'm just worried. We'll find our own way. Cassandra, we have you…"

"True, but it's a long way to get to Kennedy Space Station… And traveling there within 3 days, it's difficult."

Asahi replied, "Well, maybe you're right. But it's best we DO NOT let the enemy know our destination."

The GPS machine was broken, left on the road, as two figures appeared, seeing the broken machine. NOAH beeped, slurring, "They w-w-w-w-went th-th-th-that-w-w-way. Plplplplplease take me with you… In 250 meters, head–."
SMASH!
One of the female ninjas smashed NOAH into bits. "They are close. If they reach Euphoria, it ends." They both have white hair and dark brown eyes, wearing black masks, and wearing black and white ninja attires.

[Britney & Cindy: Oka's Hired Ninjas]
NOTE: IcebatofValikin's OCs

Britney said, "Let's go. We have orders to kill these three. Shiratsuru Kuki failed, so it's our turn."

Cindy agreed, "I agree. The sooner we kill them, the better."

They raced off, as they were chasing after The Gang in the car. The two ninjas leapt off and sprinted after the car. They held up a boombox and played a jazzy tune.

(Britney): I'm Britney
(Cindy): I'm Cindy
(Ninja Twins): We're Ninjas Girls
We are not android dolls
But we are assassins for hire

Britney smiled, "We're the Amazing Ninja Twins!"

(Britney): We represent Real Ninja, as freelance corps
(Cindy): We bite and kill and maim, and so much more
(Britney): But only if we're hired for them to be dead
(Cindy): We can either rip their hearts out, or chop off their heads

"PLUS!"
"MINUS!"

They unleashed black and white monochrome Stands, as they were posing in place, "Ebony-Ivory!"

Ebony-Ivory (aka "Black or White")
Name taken from the song by the late great Michael Jackson.

They continued, as they zipped off, Stands by their side.

(Cindy): We'll topple these heroes!
(Britney): Evil
(Cindy): or just plain stupid
We have a task at hand, and they know what they did.

(Britney): They want to shut us down
(Cindy): Literally and theoretically
(Britney): We'll decimate
(Cindy): Deteriorate
(Britney): Annihilate
(Cindy): Decapitate!

They found the car, and were gaining on our heroes.

(BOTH): In other words…
We're killing yoooooooooooooooooooooou!

XXXXX

The car was on the road, as Asahi was moaning, "Man… at this rate, we may try to get some gas."

Peter sensed something and said, "Asa, floor it!" Asahi asked, "Huh? What is it? The police?"

Cassandra watched on, "Worse…"

Britney and Cindy were dashing towards them, with super speed. Asahi cried, "Oh, shit… Not again!"

Peter said, "I SAID FLOOR IT!"

"I'm trying! But this car doesn't have the torque to move faster!" Asahi yelled.

Peter roared, "DO YOU WANT US TO DIE? THEY'RE GAINING ON US!"

"I know, but–."

Cassandra hollered, "ASAHI, PUSH THE GODDAMN ACCELERATOR!"

Asahi yelled, "ALRIGHT, FINE!" They went really fast, as Asahi was shocked, "Wow… I was wrong."

He said, "Why and how did we get a portable car with NASCAR engines?!"

Asahi yelled, "Don't ask me! I've never driven something so fast!"

Cassandra said, "Uh, guys… I think we're losing them… rather… Whoa, they're fast! Who are they?"

Asahi looked at the rearview mirror and said, "This is new to me. What kind of ninjas are they? NEVER MIND!" She saw Ebony-Ivory and cried, "STAND USERS! NINJAS, EVEN!"

"Pale Snake's doing?"

"Doubt it. This is Oka's handiwork! She won't stop until we're all dead; unless Oka fails and Ritsu turns the Moji Mikisa into a hollow and empty multiverse, then we're all dead!"

They drove off really fast, as the Ninja Twins chased after them. They have the same speed distance, as does a vehicle going 65 miles per hour. And unfortunately, The Gang's driving at 60.

"More ninja robots?" Cassandra asked. Peter said, "Dunno. But there's two of them."

Britney called, "Give it up, The Gang! We're clocked at high speeds, something any kunoichi has ever done." Cindy responded, "And who cares about the speed limit." A policeman on his motorcycle drove towards them, as the policeman called, "HEY YOU! Pull over to the curb!"

Cindy threw a kunai knife into the policeman's head, and it impales him. He crashed into the ground, exploding in a ball of flames. Asahi growled, "MONSTERS!"

Britney said, "We knew that car was gonna be your only means of support… Too bad that you won't make it to the Euphoria Plant OR Cape Canaveral!"

Cindy nodded, "What say we teach these ruffians a lesson." They gained on the car, as Peter called, "Asa, take the wheel!" He and Cassandra hopped out, landing on the roof. Asahi cried, "Can you not? I don't think you can fight atop a car!"

Cassandra yelled, "What choice do we have? We're running out of time!"

Peter smirked, "No hurry. It's less than three days. We can do it in less than 30 minutes. Otherwise, this ass-beating is free."

Asahi yelled, "I have a better idea!" She stopped the car, and they flew off the roof. The Ninja Twins leapt up and shrieked, "KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

POW!
"ORA!"
"USHA!"
Peter & Cassandra landed a flying kick to the ninjas. Britney and Cindy stumbled down, as Cassandra said, "Not so tough, eh?"

Cindy moaned, "Ungh… That hurts." Britney growled, "No worries. We can still gain the upper hand."

Peter said, "Any idea how to stop the Naruto Twins?" Cassandra asked, "Doublemint Gum, maybe?"

Britney held her huge white katana, as Peter said, "Now that's a katana."

She leapt over and landed a sword strike on Peter, slicing him in half. He melted into a dark miasma, and appeared behind her. "And that is a miss." Britney growled, "The wuh?"

Cindy snarled, "That man… He's the one we have to waste… He shouldn't even be alive."

They dashed forward, but Cassandra called, "My turn!" She blasted flames towards them. They avoided it, as Cassandra smirked, "En fuego!"

Cindy said, "The tall woman… She's the android." Britney growled, "She doesn't look robotic… Perhaps we should find her Stand, and disable her." Cindy nodded, "Astute observation, sister."

Cassandra asked, "Que? Are they brainiac ninjas? You android girls are so alike… uh, this, coming from me, being I'm an android, too."

"Stay silent and cease function, automaton!" Britney roared, as she kicked her in the chest. Cassandra stumbled down, and then moaned, "That hurts…"

"Silence your mouth speaker, robot girl! We're not like you!" Cindy said. Britney stated, "We're ordered to eliminate you… The both of you. It appears that you came with another, but we have ways of erasing you, too…" Cindy added, "And soon enough, everything will end, with your blood all over the place." Britney added, "Not just all over, but in a pool of blood, the size of a swimming pool, as you two huge giants will hold 10 quarts."

Cassandra huffed, "Sheesh… You're talking like you know how much amounts and capacities you calculate! You're the weirdest enemies I have ever met."

Peter groaned, "They're simply geniuses, or dumb savants."

"I think you mean idiot savants."

"Same thing."

Britney and Cindy posed, "Usha! We're the Amazing Ninja Twins!" Britney said, "We'll find a way to eliminate the three of you." Cindy said, "There were three of you. Where's your friend?"

Peter asked, "Hey yeah… Where did Asa go?" Cassandra said, "I don't know. The car's gone, too. We're stranded!" He said, "No worries. We'll lambast these freaks, uh, geeks, and find Asahi."

Cassandra stated, "About that… Do we find Asahi, or find our target? Because, in case you forget, we have no time before the next New Moon."

Cindy said, "Astute plan, android. We know that the New Moon is coming in 76 hours. That is roughly 3 days and 2 hours from now. All moon forms take exactly a week or so, and the return of the lunar phases of Full, New, First Quarter, and Last Quarter. In order, the Full Moon comes every 28 days, likewise the New Moon." Britney added, "Ah, but there's also the path of a crescent moon. A New Moon with a crescent is called a Gibbous."

Cindy explained, "Every 28 days, the moon always turn from its clockwise turn, and changes into its one of 6 phases – Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, Waning Crescent, New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and so on, and so on, and so on. The waxing and waning formations are secondary phases, in-between their primary moon phases."

Cassandra was annoyed, "Do you two ever shut the fuck up?"

Britney stated, "We are trying to observe and explain the primary and secondary moon phases, as you are aware of the next New Moon."

Peter sighed, "Whatever happened to fighting these freaks?"

Britney said, "Perhaps we take a break from fighting. Our intellect, since joining Real Ninja, has improved, thanks to Oka Kazamatsuri's skill and genius. While Cindy and I are simply gung-ho assassins – uh, I'm Britney, by the way. – we are still the most intelligent ninjas in the clan."

Cindy replied, "We're considered the Aces to Oka's army. We have strength, but we're also…" Ebony-Ivory appeared from behind them and slammed down, as they chanted, "Experts in the element of surprise!"

They stumbled down, as Britney and Cindy laughed, "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" Peter groaned, "My head hurts…" Cassandra snarled, "These two ninja nerds are pissing me off."

Peter kneeled down and growled, "Watch yourself. Their Stands are nearby."

"Yeah… Did you see them?"

"No. But they know better than to jump us from behind."

The first Stand appeared, coated in black and white. She dove at Peter, as Cassandra cried, "LOOK OUT!"

He swung hard and landed a fist volley. The first Ninja Stand avoided the fists, as the second one appeared. Cassandra kicked it away, as Cassandra said, "Damn! Two of them?"

"I see… These twins have Twin Stands. Weird, I know, but they have the same abilities as them."

"But it seems that we're outmatched. How can we stop them?"

Britney said, "You can't, obviously."

The Twins stepped forward, as Peter growled, "Alright, Britney and Christina… I'm gonna dot your eyes out!" Cindy barked, "It's Cindy! Not Christina."

"Whatever. I'm gonna beat your ass." Peter smirked, and summoned his Spirit, "Darkness Devil!" It landed a right, but Britney's Stand dodged out of the way. He fired a flurry of punches, but Britney avoided each punch. Cindy dashed forward and said, "You're too slow on the draw!"

Cindy landed a swift heel kick to Cassandra. Her hair turned white and bellowed, "Android Fool!" A gust of flames emerged, and Cindy avoided the aura. She growled, "She's burning up… Her body temperature is… abnormal."

Cassandra prepared, "You may be hired guns, but we've faced worse off. Now, ninja nerds… I'm gonna send you back to Oka Kazamatsuri… and end armageddon!"

Cindy asked, "Armageddon?! What are you saying? Oka has control to rule the world, as she wants people to experience Euphoria."

"After the way she usurps and perverts Australium into the drug, she thinks she can end humanity, because of one little drug, made from rare gold? You're impossible."

"But the Australium isn't used for–."

Cassandra punted her down, but Cindy backflipped back. Cassandra snarled, "Do you ever shut up? I'm aware of the nature of Australium. That doesn't mean you can go and lecture about it."

Cassandra and Cindy stared down, as Cindy barked, "For someone who can turn her ebony hair into bleach white, you know how to hurt a ninja. Even so, we won't let you reach Kennedy Space Station, alive."

Britney said, "We know where you're going, but we're trained assassins. We don't let our targets make it to the vantage point." Her Stand took down Darkness Devil. Peter groaned in pain, "Of course, all you two do is slack off, grow soft… yet you still fight to the end."

They posed, "This is your end." They shouted, "EBONY-IVORY!" The Stands charged at them, and they avoided the onslaught. Cassandra cried, "Crap! They're twin Stands! I cannot tell which is which!"

Peter said, "I can. One Stand has black on its right side, and white on the left. This must be one of the Stands… But I cannot tell which is whose. We do know they are different, as the colors switch, but they are still similar."

"You mean asymmetrical? I get that. So, from my stance, Britney's Stand is the one with black on her right, and the other Stand, Cindy, has black on her left. Problem is, they are called either minus or plus. That's like positive and negative polarities. Or like Yin and Yang. Ebony-Ivory is definitive terms for black and white, like light and darkness. But it doesn't matter whose Stand owns whom; they are the same energy as us, only it's pure evil."

"It matters not which. We beat one of them, the other's free pickings. Don't forget, they are Oka Kazamatsuri's hired guns."

"And nerds, too."

Britney said, "They way you banter on, it's almost like you can teach us!"
POW!
Peter falls to the ground. Cassandra screamed, "PETER!"

Cindy said, "Now, the robot." Cassandra growled, "Bitch!" She launched a wicked right hook, engulfed in flames. Cindy ducked, and Ivory appeared. Cassandra avoided a huge left hand stab. Cassandra said, "So, you're the one with black on the left!" She swept Ivory down. She slammed a fiery punch down, and Cindy gagged, "GURK!" Blood came out, as Britney said, "Fiend!"

Cassandra said, "For the sake of knowledge towards your Stands, I must fight you myself. Cindy is the one with the black on the left, while the black on the right is Britney."

Britney asked, "What the hell are you talking about? You're asking us which is which?"

Cindy moaned, "She's fast, but she's vicious with that fire of her."

Cassandra said, "As much as I enjoy our lesson, you're not stopping us. Besides… someone back home is waiting for me, and I have a promise to avenge my friends of his wicked ways. And I'M NOT LETTING YOU STOP ME FROM THAT PROMISE!" She ran at them, as Britney roared, "Little robo-skank!"

They brawled, exchanging punches and kicks in a fast volley. Cassandra yelled, "I'll show you just who and what I am! I'm an android, and proud of it! YOU WON'T DEMOLISH ME!"

KAPOW!
"ANDROID SNAP KICK!" She delivered a snap dropkick, sending Ebony flying. Britney fell the same way. Cassandra kneeled down and smirked, "Hot enough for you?"

Britney and Cindy glared, "She's a monster…" Britney said, "I think we need to strategize. This beast is much ferocious… especially with that power-up she has." Cindy added, "I agree. Quite disturbing, especially since we're ordered to take her out. But her brainpower, that makes her a challenge."

Cassandra said, "Peter, step back and find Asahi. This one's mine."

Peter stated, "No way. I'm going to assist you. We're a team on this."

Cassandra replied, "This is my battle. Save your strength for the priest. Your sister is waiting for you. You have your grudges, and I have mine. Besides, Mister is the one I'm going to break, once I am done with this mission… provided if we win. But I won't lose, again…" Her aura shone, as Peter said, "Just stay calm, and focus on your will. You have the will to fight. Farra used her will to control her past. You can control your grudge. Revenge is never the answer."

Cassandra yelled, "THE FUCK YOU SAY! You don't know how I felt, when April and her sisters lost Marciano! I don't care if they were evil, before Percival and Farra reformed them!"

Britney asked, "What is she talking about?" Cindy said, "Beats me."

Cassandra sniffled, "You think I'm going to let Mister leave, unpunished? Don't forget, he escaped prison! And I let that happen, because I wasn't strong enough! I'm an android daughter of a woman who innocently turns girls into mannequins! THAT'S ALL I AM! I WILL NOT BE LIKE MOM! I WILL GLADLY INHERIT HER LEGACY, BUT I REFUSE TO BE WICKED LIKE HER! And Mister is the first on my list to correct! But that starts with these two–!"

They zipped off, as Cassandra gasped, "Que?" Britney said, "What a tearful story. I'm going to cry." Cindy jeered, "It's too bad. Ebony-Ivory will end your suffering." Britney added, "It's almost like you're in a lot of Despair." Cindy continued, "And that hurts you the most… One mistake…" Britney concluded, "One flaw… makes you weak."

They appeared, and slammed her with a Double Kick to the chest and waist. "So, break apart, you robot!" Cassandra coughed out blood, and her body collapsed. She groaned, "Nngh… No…" She looked around, as Ebony-Ivory split into clones. It was Shadow Clone Jutsu. She was surrounded. "What the hell?"

The clones attacked her, kicking and punting at her body. Britney landed a huge left and bellowed, "This battle's ours!" Cassandra was socked in the face, and Cindy landed a Superkick, "Be ye human or robot, thou art helpless!"

Cassandra fell to the ground, but she was struggling to get up. Britney said, "Now it's your turn, giant man." Cindy stated, "I believe Pale Snake knows you extremely well."

Peter stated, "I'll end what Pale Snake started, years ago… But I will defeat you, using skills and smarts! …alright, skills. But that doesn't mean I won't kowtow to you jokers. I faced better ninjas than you, and they were child's play." He prepared, as he revved his fists, "But know this, what you did to Cassandra is on you. This is for what you did to my friend!"

He dashed at them, but Cassandra elbowed his gut. He dropped to one knee and gagged, "AAAGH!" He argued, "Cassandra, what the fuck? What are you trying to pull?"

"I said… this is… my fight…" Cassandra seethed, and then her flames grew bigger, "STAY OUT OF MY WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!"

She dashed at them, as Ebony-Ivory split into clones again. They surrounded her, as she called, "Oh, no, you don't. Not this time!" Her flaming aura pulsates. Britney dashed at her, and Cassandra punched her. But the clone vanished. Cindy attacked from behind, and Cassandra kicked her with a Jumping Soccer Kick. The clones attacked her, but one-by-one, Cassandra attacked from all ends. Her aura shone golden, as her flames were red and white. Britney gasped, "Wha–? WHAT IS SHE?"

Cindy stated, "She's… She's not that strong. But her will to fight makes her powerful!"

Cassandra remarked, "I won't lose… I have but one matter. YOU! EUPHORIA! OKA! RITSU! AND MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" She was enraged and took on the Stands. They cried, "EBONY-IVORY! PLUS! MINUS!" Cassandra fought two-on-one, and she was able to hold her own. She landed twin hits on each Stand, but…

"PLUS!"
"MINUS!"
"Que?!"

The Stands leapt back and clasped their legs onto her body. They stretched her, as she was screaming, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Her body was weakening, as Britney said, "You forget… There's two of us and one of you." Cindy stated, "You should've let your giant friend assist you. But pride got into your circuitry."

She was being pulled like a rubber band. Cassandra screamed, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! No! NOOOOOOO! LEMME GO!" She thought, "I can't let go! What are they? It's like… They're magnetic! That's it! Plus and Minus, as their call sign! NO WONDER THEY ARE THAT FAST AND AGGRESSIVE!"

Peter snarled, "Dammit! I have to stop them! Save Cassandra… or stop the Ninjas." Cassandra's waist was slowly tearing up. Her skin started to show a small tear, and it started to grow bigger. Cassandra closed her eyes, and she sniffled, "No… Help me… April… Farra… I… I don't want… to die…"

Peter gripped his fist and roared, "I'VE SEEN ENOUGH!" His aura boomed in a dark black color, and Cassandra vanished in thin air. The Stands dropped down, as Britney and Cindy gasped, "WHAT THE WHA?"

Peter held Cassandra in his arms and said, "You fucking ninja bitches… You would dare to kill her… I won't forgive you!" His eyes went black, and his pupils were red. He's become enraged. "DAY OF WRATH!" He put Cassandra down and charged at the two ninjas. Peter roared, as he landed a massive right to the face, "SOME NINJA YOU ARE, USING A STAND TO CHEAT!" He dealt a huge kick to Cindy's face, "BRAWN BEATS BRAINS, IF USED CORRECTLY!" He smashed Britney's ribs with a huge knee crush, "NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE YOU NEVER EXISTED!" He grabbed Britney and bellowed, "GIESE SMASH!" He swung Britney into Cindy, colliding into each other.

As he was brutally beating down the Ninja Twins, Cassandra was badly hurt and lifeless. She moaned, "Peter… He came to my aid… He stopped time, just to save my life."

"No, Cassie… He knows about your promise. He wants you at 100%, in your fight against Mister."

"Asa?" Asahi appeared, as Cassandra was shocked. "I came back, after I parked the car. Don't worry. He won't let you back away from a promise. We don't want you to risk everything you have, just for them."

Cassandra sobbed, "Asa… hi…" Asahi said, "Rest up. I'll handle him."

Peter slammed down, but Cindy barked, "ENOUGH!" She kicked him down, but he got up, seething in anger. Britney said, "He's not human… How did he become so vicious?"

Asahi stated, "Because he doesn't want his friends to die! Not to a bunch of nerds like you!"

Cindy said, "Well, look who finally arrived, after the long drive." Britney said, "You missed everything. We destroyed the android, but this beast smashed us. But we know how to deal with your friends."

Asahi said to Peter, "Peter, I know you won't listen, but this is my battle now. Focus your strength on Ritsu Tainaka. She's at fault here. We're 3 days away, and we don't want to waste any more time. Leave these two to me."

Peter calmed down and said, "Very well… But when I arrive, I'm saving my wrath all over the fucking priest." He stepped back, as Asahi called, "You two think you're hot stuff, just because you're ninjas, hired by Oka Kazamatsuri. I get it, you're genius-level assassins. But you haven't met the World's Greatest Stand User!"

Britney stated, "You're one to talk. This guy is the living embodiment of a god! This girl is nothing but a golem." Cindy smirked, "And what makes you, ex-idol turn detective? You gave up the music business… for this?" Britney said, "Shame that we'll rewrite everything you existed for."

Ebony-Ivory appeared, as Asahi said, "So, those are the Stands… Twin Stands, bicolor opposites. Lemme guess, you can make my eyes water? Or maybe hypnotize me? Because it won't work!"

Britney said, "Trust me, we don't. The brain is a perfect vessel to function." Candy remarked, "And we need the mind to fight and evade. Look at how Son Goku did, being a stupid idiot…" Britney said, "And he's the strongest there is."

Asahi replied, "What about Jotaro Kujo? He died, protecting this world. These worlds. And all because of a repeat performance. I am making sure that YOU TWO won't get what you want… our corpses in a garbage dumpster."

They stared down, as Britney stated, "Make the history lessons all you want! It's us that does the lectures here!" Cindy called, "And what's more, we're about to teach you the Physics of your demise!"

The Stands charged at her, as Asahi said, "Then how about we do a little MATH!" She split into TWO Mech-Asahis. They posed, as Ebony and Ivory attacked.

"PLUS!"
"MINUS!"

They charged at her, but they leapt over her. Asahi called, "There's four of us, and two each! Now… Divide us, and you get 1. However, addition and subtraction do not matter to me. So, I'll play by YOUR game!" She shone, as she cried, "IDOL DIAMOND – MULTI-STARS!" She split into 10 different Mech-Asahis. They surrounded the Stands. Britney gasped, "WHAT THE–? THAT THIEF!" Cindy yelled, "Little bitch! She thinks she can use our skills, and defeat us? EBONY-IVORY!"

The Twin Stands attacked them all at the same time. But they vanished and dashed towards the Stand Users. They cried, "NO WAY!"

POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW! POW!
"USHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" they were being pulverized by the ten Mech-Asahis. The ninjas were sent flying, as Asahi said, "10 times 2 is twenty. But my fists landed only 50 each. But what if I hit a thousand? Let's see: 20 times 50, plus a thousand times the number of Mech-Asahis that beat both your asses… divided by 2. Equals…" She appeared above the twins. They shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA–!"

"IDOL DIAMOND!"
POWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOWPOW!
"DORARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARARA!" Asahi did her rapid-fire punches at both ninja twins. Both ninjas were lambasted, covered in blood and bruises, and fell to the ground.

Asahi stepped down and said, "Six thousand! That's twelve thousand punches, in total. Genius? I don't think so."

Miz-K NOTE: 20 x 50 plus (1,000 x 10) divided by 2 equals 6,000.

Britney moaned in pain, "Curses… Beaten by our own knowledge…" Cindy sobbed, "We failed as ninjas and as genius assassins."

Asahi said, "I wouldn't say that. You two are brilliantly strong, and you have such knowledge. Perhaps you leave Real Ninja and become specialists in education? You don't need to commit yourselves to death, after failure."

Britney grumbled, "I wish… But I cannot feel… my legs…" Cindy groaned, "I can't feel my body. I think her math was exact. We should know better than to compete… with these dumb savants."

Peter stated, "It's Idiot savants. But does it matter?" He helped Cassandra up, as Asahi said, "Well, you'll do your studying and planning in prison. Because when we are done with Real Ninja AND Ritsu Tainaka, you two are going to jail."

Britney said, "WAIT!" She moaned, "Before you leave to find Oka… You must… know this…" Cindy said, "Her Stand… She can… … … …" Britney and Cindy passed out, and their Stands vanished. Asahi felt their pulse and bowed her head, "They're still alive… but barely. I should have Strike Force pick them up."

Cassandra said, "Leave them. I have one thing to ask." She walked to them. She asked them, "I want to know…" She stared down and barked, "We know about Ritsu's plan… But what is Oka's plan? What is she planning with the Australium?"

Britney smiled, "I believe… You should ask her yourselves… when you get… there…" Britney did a death rattle. Cindy moaned, "Relax… she's… not… de–." Cindy's head dropped and she let out one final breath. Four discs emerged from inside their heads. They dissolved into vapor, after they were ejected.

"Pale Snake?" Peter asked. Asahi nodded, "Pale Snake." She felt their pulse and said, "Okay… now they're dead." She bowed her head and whispered, "If only they used their genius for good…"

[Britney & Cindy – Ebony-Ivory: DECEASED]

Peter, Cassandra, and Asahi left after that, as they were heading to the rendezvous point to meet with the others.

Cassandra asked, "By the way… Where'd you get that hat?" Asahi cried in annoyance, "YOU NOTICED NOW?"

Present Day…

Meanwhile, back in the camp, outside of Cape Canaveral, Krystle said to Jace & Kim, "Okay, you ready?"

They tossed their St. Dolphin jumpsuits into the fire, as it started to burn away.

"Goodbye, St. Dolphin." Krystle said. Jace huffed, "And good riddance."

Kim said, "I know it's wrong, but… At least we know what we're up against now. This will erase our worst moment of our lives. Krystle, Jason, whatever happens… Know that I'm glad I have met you guys."

Krystle smiled, "Thanks. Buttercup would be cheering us on, knowing we're going to stop Ritsu."

They watched, as the fire was slowly fading. Kim then said, "Hmm… Don't you think we should put it in an incinerator?" Krystle replied, "I asked, and Joanna doesn't have one."

Kim sighed, "Okay…"

Jace asked, "So, any idea what Ritsu is planning, if she shows up?"

Krystle said, "Maybe… But I wished they would tell me. These guys are idiots, but they care for me."

Kim replied, "Krystle… This is ONE battle that we cannot win. But knowing them, they can pull a miracle by the edge. Risky, but… I'm still confused over this weird Moji Mikisa and MIO nonsense."

Jace explained, "Same. The hell's a MIO? And what the hell's a Moji Mikisa?"

Krystle replied, "Dunno… But Steven said that it's how we got here…"

They watched the fire, until Kim put out the flames carefully. Krystle replied, as she walked off, "Still… We're just happy that Peter's friends are watching over us."

They went back to camp. Meanwhile, in Cape Canaveral, a lot of people were walking in. Ritsu was one of them, except she was in the middle of the crowd. The guard saw her, but then he viewed the picture he was given. He nodded and let her walk by, believing that the woman with longer hair is not Ritsu. And truthfully, because she has fused with the Green Baby to obtain new and mysterious powers.

The guard ripped the photo up and said, "Must be a wild goose chase, if you ask me…"

Steven narrated, as Ritsu was in the building, "The destination is the Space Center. NO trains and buses roll by. You can only travel by car, owned or rented. The place is known as a rocket launching site and space shuttle testing facility. Our main objective is entering the Main Center. We have NO clearance to enter freely, so we'll buy tickets, then pass security, then take the tour bus. The rest of Kennedy Space Center is off-limits. Asahi informed us of the location where Ritsu will strike. The trouble is… what is she planning, with the last remaining hours before the New Moon?"

A guard blocked her and said, "Sorry, sir. We're not letting you pass. Due to security measures and COVID protocols, we're limiting the number of visitors. You'll have to wait in line, until then."

A man in glasses said, "Oh, no, he's with me. I vouched for him." The guard said, as he let Ritsu in, "Oh, my apologies. Then, you may enter."

He and Ritsu walked together, as he said, "You would've waited another 15 minutes if I let you stay there. So, who are you? Are you a pastor, or a priest? You're kinda small for a priest… and a bit feminine. Anyways, I hope my kind act of good deeds helps you out. That's my job in my everyday life, trying to help people in need. Anyways, you seemed out of place for a clergyman. Do you have any interest in rockets?" He kept talking, as Ritsu was getting a headache. "So, you do have a thing for space, hopefully your God is there? Maybe you should ask if God is an alien, right?"

Ritsu grumbled, "Do I have to even answer or even tolerate your incessant questioning? You have done a good deed bringing me here, so you're excused. If you're bored of waiting in line, go bother someone else with your good deeds. In any case, I won't rush the 15 minutes in line. I'm just not in a good mood, right now."

The man nodded and turned away, as Ritsu breathed heavily. The monitor played, showing a rocket.

Gravity is the biggest obstacle when launching a rocket. Ideally, a rocket can be launched most easily, if there's less gravitational pull on it. That's why launching a rocket along the equator gives it an advantage over gravity. This is because the Earth's centrifugal force causes gravity to weaken, along the equator. Athletes may be able to accomplish world records near the equator.

"Something's wrong… I don't feel well." Ritsu moaned.

In addition, the sea level of Cape Canaveral has a unique characteristic. The sea level is described as "Zero Level" when measuring elevation. However, recent studies have confirmed that the sea's surface is not always zero. For example, in the Indian Ocean by the Maldives Archipelago, the sea level curves down by about a hundred meters. The Sea of Japan, however, curves up by thirty meters. Cape Canaveral is fifty meters above the zero mark. This could be due to inconsistencies in gravity. And Cape Canaveral is the one such location with the weaker gravity. When tides are taken into account, it is said that sea level may rise by upwards of 100 meters.

Ritsu started to hyperventilate, and her skin started to pulsate a bit, mostly from the heavy breathing.

That is why Cape Canaveral is the most suitable location on Earth to launch rockets into space.

Droplets of soda splattered onto the man that helped Ritsu. He gasped, "YAH! Cold!" He looked up, but he saw nothing. That's because the droplets were falling to the right. The drops started to stretch from the left lens of his eyeglasses. He found the drink, and noticed something was wrong. The soda was splattering towards him. But… He was suddenly being pushed back by force.

"WHAT THE–?"
CRASH! SPLATTER!
Blood spilled out, as he crashed into some railing. The other man held up his cup and asked, "Huh? My cola… Meh, must've drank it while I was waiting…"

As Ritsu was convulsing, still unsure of her body's actions, the man that helped her was dead, with his head impaled by a blunt railing end. And all because he was suddenly pushed back with this unknown gravitational force. Was this Ritsu's doing?
