Spoilers from included and/or represented works abound. Please read this fiction carefully.

With Regime!Witch? out to secretly help the Insurgency and the resistance as a whole alongside the groups, Demonic Sig is forced to fix the dimensional antenna previously burned from overloading as of the test.

"I can probably fix it, but dunno how long it'll take." Demonic Sig about the antenna. "Parts of the control panel were designed to accommodate Witch and her magics."

"We have to keep trying, Sig." Regime!Arle replied. "This may be their only way out."

Unbeknownst to both, the prime Arle, Carbuncle, Dark Prince and Lilith are sneaking around, and there's some... disguise, actually, as Arle planned. Moving on...

"Quick quick, Undine." Regime!Serilly approaches Frozen Undine. "I'm need of Pwurp."

"I've discovered anomalies." Frozen Undine reported.

"'Like tears in the fabric of space-time.'" Regime!Serilly replied. "I got your message. Get to the point."

"I think these are the places where the duplicates arrived." Frozen Undine pointed it out. "This one may be the source of the transfer."

"For now, it's just a theory." Regime!Serilly commented. "But Arle doesn't want theories! She need facts! Why did you came to this conclusion!?"

Regime!Serilly grunts, showing her to be meaner than her counterpart. "Send the coordinates to the Demon. He can confirm your theory more easily than most, and he's more trustworthy."

"Done." Frozen Undine is set up. "Is there a-"

Renegade Klug has already snuck in, and restrained Regime!Serilly as if she's defeated in Puyo battle.

"Nice detective work." Renegade Klug noticed. "But you're too late. Wanna free her? Beat me in Puyo battle!"

Renegade Klug put his skills and talent to good use, and unlike his counterpart, he hardly gloats on in his hubris. He singlehandedly defeated Frozen Undine fair and square.

"Too easy." Renegade Klug dismissed. "Your frozen skill doesn't hold up."

"Yes, they are." Regime! Serilly confronted Renegade Klug.

"Oh well, you got back to swimming by yourself." Renegade Klug noticed.

"You were offered amnesty, the sorcerer." Regime!Serilly is disappointed. "You should've taken it."

"And miss my chance to blast a mermaid's scales?" Renegade Klug mocked Regime!Serilly.

"How dare you!" Regime!Serilly is enraged.

Regime!Serilly splashes, but Renegade Klug countered with magic.

"An obscure mook with unappealing techniques." Renegade Klug dismissed, then pushed Regime!Serilly out. "Give me a real challenge. Puyo against me. Surprise me."

Once again, Renegade unleashes his talent smoothly, barely even fooling around unlike his counterpart. Regime!Serilly isn't too skilled, and she was soundly defeated.

-*Glub glub/"ぶくぶくぅ..." Regime! Serilly is defeated.

"I'm not impressed." Renegade Klug then walks away to retrieve the technology.

A while later, he got it. Renegade Klug found the technology needed as mentioned by Baroness Atari and required to help rebuild the weapon.

"Witch. I've got it." Renegade Klug reported. "Send me to the Insurgency."

"Roger that." Regime! Witch set up. "Hope it was worth it."

"Ringo, you ready?" Regime!Witch called while setup.

"We're down to 45 minutes." Renegade Ringo tracking alongside Puyo war crew and main Ringo. And Ecolo.

"We're in position." Ecolo reported. "Commence... assault!"

Arle's base, built on top of an artificial connection between the three worlds and Intral City. The Rukasazo police and many of Arle's regime!ally are guarding there. And Count Roquier is arriving there, leading the charge, alongside the clients of Spacetime Detective Agency. This marks the launch of the assault.

"We're getting closer." Ringo warned. "Stay alert."

Suddenly, this timeline's Dark Witch (not the same one Regime!Witch purportedly/seemingly faced, though was the one with main Witch) and Regime!Doppelganger Arle encountered.

"Hello, someone kinda familiar." It's Regime!Dark Witch. "Still an intellectual highschooler."

"Save it, that other witch girl." Ringo dismissed.

"Oops, sorry..." Regime!Dark Witch pretended. "I joined her to protect people like you. She said if I helped find the target she'd-"

"Spare me?" Ringo asked.

"I didn't believe in her." Regime!Dark Witch continued. "But it bought us time. I misdirected her."

"Small relief to the one who actually died." Ringo refuted. *pushes the Witch away*

"Damn it, Ringo!" Regime!Dark Witch is frustrated. "You have any idea what I've... You think we're here by coincidence!? Let's leave. We can be free of her. Be friends."

"This isn't 'we', wrong Witch!" Ringo offended Regime!Dark Witch.

"You... how could you!?" Regime!Dark Witch is shocked.

"I have a homework to do." Ringo proceeded, only to be pushed out by this Dark Witch.

"So do I." Regime!Dark Witch engaged. " It's been so long since I last used Puyos to fight!"

"Let's! Puyo battle!"/"レッツ！ぷよ勝負!"

Regime!Dark Witch, as with her counterpart, tried to make up of her waning Puyo skills with her powers. Ringo still defeat her, albeit difficult.

"You've joined the wrong side... for the second time in a row." Ringo shrugs.

Meanwhile, Regime!Doppel and Ecolo are evenly matched... in fighting.

"You relishes in sadism, enjoyed her suffering from afar!" Ecolo yelled to Regime!Doppel.

Ecolo continues to trade blows with Regime!Doppel. "Sure, you are an upright jerk, but... You accepted being a slave to Arle!?"

"I'm Pierrot." Regime!Doppel blasts Ecolo away.

However, both Ringos intervened.

"So you gave in to Arle." Renegade Ringo noticed.

"Arle?" Regime!Doppel heard it.

"I'm literally the other her." Renegade Ringo punched Regime!Doppel. "But I decided to serve her unconditionally."

"You stopped being simply the other Arle the moment she started enslaving you." Ringo responded. "She was yours, after all."

"Puyo Armageddon, I see." Regime!Doppel went against. "Bring it on!"

Both apple girls decided to catch off guard with Fusion and Tetris on board, leaving the Doppel confused against her Puyos. An intense Puyo battle, the teamwork and synergy of Permutation/Calculus absolutely overwhelmed the one who doesn't know Tetris in the end.

"You're dead to us." Both Ringos defeat Regime!Doppel.

"You okay?" Ecolo got up.

"Let's get moving." Shou alongside the crew. "We brought our mechs. Let's go."

While the Spacetime Detective Agency's representatives fights the dynasty police, Regime!Arle enters the battlefield for some reason, but was ambushed by some of Arle's friends from the main timeline.

"Can we play too?" Suketoudara wooed.

"Sister, let's!"/"お姉ちゃん、レッツ!" Lidelle engaged with Draco Centauros.

Schezo went Areiado, which tipped off Regime!Arle: after all, she's finally found a duplicate of her tragically departed rival and friend.

In the meantime, the Puyo group is checking around. Coincidentally, Amitie and Raffina, who just fend off Regime!Ally and Regime!Rafisol, both also checking around. All of them then saw something brought down to the ground, featuring a tied and bounded boy, none other than...

"So you're what all the fuss about... other Ringo." It's Sig!

"Sig!!!" Amitie hugged Sig. "We finally found you!"

"Oh thanks goodness!" Raffina hugged Sig.

"Amitie... Ragamuffin...!"/"アミティ〜 ラヘーナ〜" Sig cheered. "You saved me again!"/"あなたはまた私を救ってくれました!"

"I could say the same comment as you." Renegade Ringo frees Sig.

Amitie and Raffina carries Sig down, and the latter stands again. The groups are ready to leave, but... a fireball barely missed.

"What!?" Everyone noticed. "Draco!?"

"Oh countdown!" Renegade Ringo realized. "Oh. My. Graph!"

"Can't... let... it... down..." It's Regime!Draco, remotely forced by someone from the dynasty. "...next one... might not... miss...!"

"Arle's truck." Renegade Ringo noticed.

Everyone had to avoid the following fireballs. Ringo then engaged and fought this Draco using Puyos. Regime!Draco got better because of her training from Regime!Arle and getting controlled. Nonetheless, Ringo easily defeat Regime!Draco.

"I'll apologize later." Ringo then turns around. "Whoever controlling this dragon girl, show yourself!"

It was Demonic Sig. The demon sent Hydrangea, the mix of Cobalt and blood magical, into Ringo. However, Ecolo blasted Demonic Sig, which led to Hydrangea dissipating, saving Ringo.

"Don't tell the others about this, huh?" Ringo asked her counterpart.

Sig stares at his possessed counterpart, while Mipuyo supported Ecolo.

"Easy there, space-time dude." Mipuyo said with yellow and blue eyes.

"Can you walk?" Marin supported as well, so she and Mipuyo carried Ecolo.

Suddenly, Renegade Amitie in possession by this timeline's Ecolo... both fell down to the place.

"Ugh... It sucks to be a double agent, especially against my will..." This Altered Amitie got up. "Not fun! Oh no!"

"Get him outside." Renegade Ringo commanded.

"I'm not leaving, Ringo!"/"私は行かないよ、りんごちゃん!" Ecolo argued.

"Just go!" Ringo yelled.

Mipuyo, Marin and Ecolo went away.

"Well, look what I found." Renegade/Altered Amitie spotted both Ringos. "More Ringo!"

Another 2v1, this time all-Puyo. Both Ringos then ultimately managed to corner the possessed Fever.

"Clear your senses, fix your side." Renegade Ringo defeats this Amitie with the main apple girl. "Arle is the enemy, Amitie. Not us."

Meanwhile, Regime!Arle is choking Draco and slowly taking the sword. However, some clients from the main timeline's Spacetime Detective Agency tackled, knocking Regime!Arle and freeing Draco. The denizens of the Steam City caught Draco, and Regime!Arle then clashed with some main clients... only for Roquier to come in. Roquier went fistful against the disillusioned sorceress, then she threw him far high away. Then she charged into killing him mid-air, only for Seo to intervene. Both flew high out, but Regime!Arle managed to restrain Seo, but noticed something... peculiar. Regime!Arle flew down to the spot, leaving Seo open.

"Uh... isn't this the part where we... disappear?" Ecolo moaned.

"Target lock fail" says the teleport system.

"Damn!" Regime?Witch is frustrated.

Regime!Arle finally reached the spot, and caught Ecolo, Mipuyo and Marin.

"You thought you could fool me, Ecolo?" Regime!Arle confronted. "Like the so-called Anti-Life did?"

"This isn't about your company." Mipuyo figured it out. "It's about you."

"I perfected this existence." Regime!Arle argued. "So many errors plagued because I failed to unleash myself. When I should've united everyone for real."

"For what?" Marin questioned. "To control? To oppress?"

"I could've prevented Primp Town!" Regime!Arle yelled. "Saved Carby, Dark Prince, Schezo and Rulue!"

"Tragedy struck your ancestor too, Arle." Mipuyo mentioned Lilith.

"But she wasn't the Orb." Regime!Arle brought up her Seraphim Orb.

"Now!" Then Ecolo used his power to teleport Mipuyo and Marin... and then all three are teleported from teleportation.

Regime!Arle noticed not just stacked teleportation, but also Witch's doing.

"Intral...!" Regime!Arle then rushed into the controls.

However, the underground part of the base got nuked somehow, setting the connection aflame and blasted Regime!Arle out of the way. Regime!Arle then teleported to fly to the satellite, but it also exploded as well, sending her flying.

"Arle Nadja! Your time is over!" It's 6:00 A.M. overall, and 4:00 P.M. locally.

Three hours earlier, in 3:00 A.M. reality and 1:00 P.M. local...

Baroness Atari is hearing radio talking about her Spacetime Detective fighting against the Rukasazo dynasty. Then the Baroness called Dark Witch, who just re-learned how to play Puyo.

"You have restored your skill." Baroness Atari told Dark Witch. "Now, I will have another tech."

Baroness Atari reached for a powerful nanotechnology suit of armor made by and for Spacetime Detective Agency. She may be a rookie, but she's a baroness now, so she decides she should don the armor: she prepared by wearing a bodysuit in place of her (now-tattered) usual attire. She even stuffs her last remaining onigirl.

"Seal appendage armor." Baroness Atari commanded.

"Activate reactor core. Activate quantum system. Begin pre-flight check. Begin pre-warp check." And this Puubot (プーボー) is integrated into the armor.

"All system nominal." The suit have a mechanical but passing resemblance to the Fifths the Puyo war crew once fought. It dons the Spacetime Detective logo.

"All inputs tethered. Neural and quantum command schema now online. Imagination translator now online."

Baroness Atari, now Armored Atari (鉄あたり), flew. A dozen of space-time missiles hijacked by Rukasazo chased her, but she simply flew up. A few managed to reach her before all of them exploded, and as a result, the force field protected Atari but she fell immediately afterwards. She fell straight into a tank.

"Damage assessment." Armored Atari got up.

"Reserve energy drained. Engaging solar recharge. Propulsion system offline."

"How long?" Armored Atari asked.

"Full restoration in 15 minutes."

"Oh well..." Armored Atari shrugs.

This timeline's SS Tetra landed nearby, and the crew (and this Ex) got out.

"Unless you're holding the Insurgency back, step aside for now." Armored Atari warned. "All of you."

"So... do you know about a mysterious kind of Puyo?" Miss-S asked.

"We're decepting Arle." Armored Atari replied. "Done so I could aid the Agency."

"Well... Let's battle already." T-King suggested. "We do Tetris."

"I'll take Puyo!" Armored Atari engaged.

"Puyo versus Tetris!" Ex declared.

This Atari went against the crew, one by one, from the weakest all the way to the strongests: Ex the keeper, and finally the current Tetris King, Tee himself (all of this timeline anyways).

"Do yourself a favor." Armored Atari after defeating the first six. "Give me those Puyos."

"Those are off-limits." This Ex refused. "Can't give away something mysterious."

"Don't worry. We're in this together." T-King suggested.

"Then just cooperate for once!" Armored Atari is frustrated.

"No, no, you don't need those." T-King tried to block. "Go save the world for us."

Armored Atari blasts both away. "You'll thank me for this later!"

Armored Atari proceeded to defeat the Ex and finally T-King with Puyo, and finally secured some Zero Point Puyos.

"You beat us..." This I whimpers.

"Don't fret." Armored Atari reassured.
