The BattleVan, Mundy's jeep, and Asahi's truck arrived at Central City, as Mizuki analyzed the area, "Uh, guys… We have hordes by the bowlful."

Asahi said, "Find an area to park, and we'll plan out the attack. How many hordes?"

"Three groups." Mizuki said.

"Okay. Let's go!"

Remember last time, The Gang and company arrived at Central City, stopping members of disbanded factions that terrorize and invade the cities. However, one of the people in the city is Steven Cooke, who's busy in the middle of the city, facing off the nefarious and notorious Cinder Fall.

The vehicles arrived at a nearby parking lot. They all stepped out, as Asahi responded, "Alright, three hordes on the horizon. Miz, any sighting of Steven Cooke?"

Mizuki said, "Negative. No signal."

Asahi responded, "Okay! Cassie, you, Mundy, Jace, & Kim head to the north area. Riho, Miki, and I will handle the west side, and Peter, Farra, & Mizuki take the east side. And if you see Steven, signal me."

They all said, "Right!" January asked, "What about me?"

Farra said, "Watch the vehicles. Chances are that the hordes are heading here. If that happens, signal for help."

January huffed, "You're doing this to me, to make me away from Oscar."

The Gang bluntly said, "Yes."

January barked, "You guys suck!" Riho thought, "Wow… Cold-hearted to my kind."

They headed off, as Asahi called out, "Remember where we parked!" Mizuki set the alarm on all three vehicles. January waited, as she held September's rifle. "I know this is a keepsake, but it's for my Oscar…" She waited, as she replied, "Hmm… Maybe it's not a job for one android." She dialed up the phone and said, "April? January."

Episode 1 – Chapter 2: Central City Massacre!
Enter the Autumn Maiden!

Peter, Mizuki, and Farra charged through, as many of the soldiers were being lambasted. Peter called, "Dead to rights! Who wants some?"

Many of them scampered off, frightened. A few Adults charged at them, and Farra hit a flaming punch to the bodies. "Someone ordered Adult Tartare?"

Mizuki said, "Nice one! Allow me!" She beeped, "Target locked! FIRE!" She shot lasers at the group of soldiers, and she noticed one of them. "Silesia-Prussia?! Guys! Some of the factions we have are former fronts!"

Peter growled, "Adult League, Antagony, DNC, Honnouji Elite, Authority Goons, the works! It's like they're recycling past rogues, and molding them into ONE Uber-Group!"

Farra stated, "Dammit! And they're all weaklings!"

"Not all of them…" A voice called, as he was standing in the middle. He was a man in a dark green outfit in gray hair. "I'm back, bitches! Now you will see how awesome I am. Screw Miz-K Productions! I am still awesome!"

Mizuki gasped, "Prussia? But how?"

Prussia smiled, "Oh, I had a little help, losers." A man in blonde hair said, "Oui, mon ami. Allo, World Agency."

"France?" Farra gasped. "And Prussia?!" she seethed, "YOU DAMNED BLACKLISTED SQUEE SQUATTERS! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET OUT OF THE BANISHMENT LIST?"

Prussia said, "Good news… West Plaza Asylum was my cure. France and I teamed up, after I was let out, because of my cure over demons… including Hungary and Austria. You think for one second that The Gang will outsmart me? Look upon my face, you has-beens." he leaned to the column, "Guess what? I believe you wonder about your fearless leader… He's already tied up in the middle of the city square. I already told you my secrets, but in order to save him, you go through us. You're fat, ugly, und you are too cheap-ass! I'm German, through and through, and my brother used to be United Nations."

Peter growled, "You asshole!"

Prussia smirked, "Hah! You forget who I am! I'm awesome Prussia, not a bit player like France!"

France said, "Hey! I'm on your side!"

"My apologies. But I get ALL the lines, because these three jackasses are nowhere near my awesomeness! Your so-called World Agency makes my grandmama laugh like this! Ha-ha-ha-ha!"

The others were annoyed, as he continued to taunt, "You three can suck my teats like little baby man boys! I AM AWESOM–!"

POW! POW!
"DIE, ASSHOLE!" Peter, Farra, & Mizuki violently beat down the bragging asshole completely.

"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"
"ARAARAARAARAARAARAARAARAARAARAARA!"
"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!"

KAPOW!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Prussia was sent to orbit, out of Central City and out of this fanfic. France cried, "OOOOOOOOOOOO! WAIT FOR ME! I QUIT! I WANNA BE A DENTIST!" And the coward ran off.

Peter dusted his hands and snarled, "Gimme a fucking break…"

Farra nodded, "No shit. What a douchebag."

Mizuki said, "I hope I never run into that piece of shit again."

"HEY BRO-HAUS!" They gasped, as a woman appeared, dressed as Prussia, "You beat my brother, yes, he's awesome, but I'm awesomer and also weirdly HOT!"

They were stunned, as Farra griped, "OH, JESUS TAP-DANCING CHRIST!" Mizuki facepalmed, as Peter sighed, "Rule 34 Prussia… What we don't want…"

Fem Prussia cackled, as they approached her. Prussia swung her sword and swept them off their feet. They avoided it, and they cried, "WHAT?"

"HAHAHAHAHA! He may be a braggart, but he should know that actions are louder than words! NOW GAZE AT MY MIGHTY BOSOM AND SEXY LOOKS, FOR I AM AWESOME AND HOT!" She dashed at them, as Farra shrieked, "OH, FUCK!"

XXXXX

At the Northern Side of town, Cassandra and Jace were fighting off some soldiers, and Jace shot stars at a few. "USHAAAAAAAA!"

Cassandra responded, "Who else wants to feel En Fuego?"

Mundy aimed, shooting down some airborne attackers. Kim caught them using a huge fishing net. She called out, "Bagged some, and more!"

Cassandra nodded, "Bueno! That makes 12 today." Mundy cuffed them, "I just bagged a haul! They're still coming! Usually, they run off in fright."

Kim called out, "Jason, GI JOEs at 2!" Jason shot stars and roared, "JOHNNY B BADD!" And he took down a few Adult Soldiers and two DNCs.

Jace smirked, "Seeing stars upon thars? Jace B reeling them in!" Kim scooped up a few, "15… 16… 17…"

"I suggest you stop counting." A woman called.

She tapped her heel in a loud echo, and she called out, "I remember East Townsend, but it seems that you've forgotten. So, instead of my Elite Four, you face me. In all fairness, Onigiri, or Remy Snowflake, was bad news! I'm the best this town has to offer, and you will suffer in my hands!"

Mundy asked, "What the bloody hell?"
Kim cried, "Is that–?"
Cassandra was shocked, "Oh, wow…"
Jace gasped, "She's hot…"

They said in unison, "Who are you?"

Satsuki groaned, as some of her followers fell in a THUD. She hollered, "SATSUKI KIRYUIN! REMEMBER? YEARS AGO, I WAS WHERE BLACK DYNAMITE DIED, THE GREAT WEST GREENWICH WAR! DO YOU PEONS EVEN REMEMBER? MY GOD, YOU BARBARIANS ARE SO STUPID!"

Mundy said, "Never heard of you." Cassandra said, "We hardly know you, but we had ways. Weren't you with some ninjas?"

Satsuki held her swords up and said, "You may not remember me, but my legend is true! I was a follower to the great Onigiri, until Matoi and I left her, learning her evil intentions! Now I have but one goal, and to take my rightful place in this city!"
Fear is freedom!
Subjugation is liberation!
Contradiction is truth!
Those are the laws I follow! AND YOU must abide by them, YOU PIGS OF WORLD GOVERNMENT!"

Satsuki's aura shone in a bright light, as Kim gasped, "Amazing… So righteous…"

Jace groaned, "MY EYES!"

Mundy roared, "Did you call us swines?"

Cassandra and Mundy were livid, as Satsuki smirked, "I'm glad I left Onigiri… because Lady Satsuki is going solo."

She dove at them, and Cassandra and Mundy roared, charging at her.

XXXXX

Asahi plowed through the army, as Miki slammed her shovel towards a few. Riho stayed behind, dodging every attack, and said, "Pardon me. Excuse me. Sorry. Sorry! Oops! You might want to put Ice on–. OH! Oops, sorry!" Many of them were injured, as Riho smiled, "My first real mission… And I get to share it with THE Asahi Sakurai!"

Asahi said, "We're almost there. Steven's nearby… but where is he?"

Miki whispered, "I don't like this… It's like we're in a dead zone…"

SLASH!
Riho avoided a red slash, and she asked, "Eh? That was close."

Asahi gasped, as a girl in black hair and a uniform was standing in place, with a red scissor blade. She said, "Welcome to death, assholes!"

Asahi gasped, "YOU!"

Miki asked, "I'm sorry! Who are you?"

Asahi stated, "Ryuko Matoi! One of Onigiri's minions! Next to Satsuki Kiryuin and Barry Dylan."

Matoi yelled, "SCREW THAT CUNT! I'm done being a patsy for that psycho! Sis and I already bolted! And that leaves you to die in our blood!"

Miki yelled, "WAIT! Onigiri's dead! You are free!"

Matoi said, "Wrong. I'm done, until I say I'm done. And right now, you three are fucking dead! Sakurai I know of, but you two, you're tagalongs for my cut-rate cutting job." he held up her blade and said, "So, Asahi Sakurai, wanna trade snippets?"

Asahi sighed, holding her bracelet, "Why do they always do it the hard way?" She pressed the red button, and her aura shone in a red shine, "Miki, take Riho to safety. She's mine."

Miki said to her, "Come on." She and Riho left, as Ryuko and Asahi stared down. Asahi called out to her, "Funny. Here I thought you moved on, and reformed with your sister. But I guess your bitchy attitude never changes. Now… I'm making sure you leave in a stretcher, back to jail!"

Ryuko said, "Believe me… I've done worse. But there's one more thing, before I even think of reforming."

"Who sent you here?" Asahi shouted.

"Not telling."

"WHERE'S STEVEN?"

"Dunno."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Why? Because it's fun."

Ryuko jumped up and sliced down, "TAKE THIS, YOU ROBO-BITCH!"

Asahi avoided it and said, "Jesus! Half a scissor blade? Where's the other half?"

Ryuko said, "Confiscated. Apparently, the other blade was taken, after my recent incarceration."

Asahi punched at her, but Ryuko deflected it. She groaned, "Seriously? You're pissing me off, old bag!"

"I'll have you know I'm middle-aged! And I'm still as young as I look!" Asahi yelled.

"Bite me, you bitch! You remind me of Mommy Dearest!"

"My condolences, Matoi!" She pushed her back, and she barked, "You may have strayed off the righteous path of justice, but it's not too late. Surrender now and be good, or face my wrath! Know that if you refuse, which I know you will, it's one way."

Ryuko smiled, "Yeah… And I'll be the one to send you One Way to the infirmary. Or Hell."

They clashed, as Asahi grabbed her blade with her hands. She snarled, "Damn scissors…" She kicked her down, and Ryuko flipped back. She called out, "Come get me, hag!" She slashed at her, and Asahi blocked her attacks, using her Strength ability.

XXXXX

Fem Prussia was lambasting Peter, as he was taken down. Farra dove in and slammed her with a flying attack. The Fem slammed her with a powerslam. Farra seethed, as she jumped up, burning wings on her back, "NOW I'M PISSED!"

She dove at Prussia, and she started to punch away. Fem Prussia kneed her chest, and stretched her arm back. She cried out, "AAAGH! HURT! HURT!"

POW!
A Robot Punch landed on Fem Prussia, and Mizuki grabbed Farra. Peter lifted her up and hit her with a German Suplex. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
CRASH!

Fem Prussia was moaning in pain, "Hah ha ha ha ha ha… Awesome… Purely impurity and lack of chivalry…"

Peter barked, "Shut up!" He stomped down, but she rolled out of the way. Fem Prussia crawled away, but Mizuki grabbed her by the hair, "Where are you going?"

She pleaded, "OUCH! HURTS LIKE HELL! LEMME GO, I'M TOO AWESOME AND HOT TO DIE!"

Mizuki revved a punch, but Farra stopped her. She said, "Lemme do it!" She hit a right to Prussia, but she blocked her punch. She slammed both their heads, and grabbed her rifle. She aimed at Peter, as he said, "Do it. See what happens."

Fem Prussia smirked, "Oh, really? You wanna die? Oh, no. I can't. These aren't even live ammunition! But they kill, if given the blunt force trauma. You can suck your own teat, you fat cow!"

"Try a bigger target…" He grew bigger, and he roared, growing 50 feet. Fem Prussia shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK! NONONONONONO! HE'S AN EASY TARGET, BUT HE'S TOO SCARY!"

Peter stomped down on some wayward soldiers, as a few trotted off in fright, seeing the gargantuan. Fem Prussia yelled, "HEY, ATTACK ON TITAN IS NEXT DOOR! WHAT ARE YOU, THE COLOSSUS? WAS IST LOS?!" He chased after the frightened and shocked Prussia, and she was running away from his massive size.

"Never thought I'd do this again!" He called out. Farra yelled, "That's great and all, but you forget! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SOLDIERS, AND THEY MAY SHOOT YOU DOWN!"

He cried out, "Well, it was an emergency! Besides, I don't think I see Steven, anywhere!"

Mizuki responded, "We'll have to traverse forward. But first…" Farra and Mizuki cornered her, as Fem Prussia cried, "OH! Ah… Shit! Do something to call off your giant titan! He scares the piss out of me, and I don't even have a penis!"

Farra smirked, "Really? Are you the same Prussia?"

Fem Prussia shouted, "OF COURSE I AM! I am very awesome, and also very hot!"

Mizuki sighed, "Runs in the family. You Teutonic Knights are so cocky." She swept down Fem Prussia, and pounded her chest, "How! Does that! Feel! You! Whore!"

Peter said, "Babe, seriously, I think she's had enough." Farra then asked, "Personally, I don't mind it. Why don't you fight back, Lil' Miss Creep?"

She pushed Mizuki off, as she cried, "I WON'T FIGHT YOU, IF YOU DON'T COOPERATE! You three grow soft, so why not fight fair? This gargantuan may crush a building like King Kong!"

Peter was back to normal, as he hissed, "I'm gonna start weaning my Giant Powers."

Mizuki and Farra prepared, as Farra responded, "More for us." The girls fought her, but Prussia was too strong, as she was able to endure the power of The Gang's onslaught. She swatted them away, and she barked, "HAH! No one can defeat the almighty Prussia!"

Peter was confused, "What is she? Is she like a gag comic character?" He glared, "HEY! I've heard enough! I'm done playing games with you! I was toying around, but it seems that this game has gone on for so long that I'm pissed off. You know, your brother, he may be a wuss, but in your words, he was awesome. But someday, his awesomeness will bite him hard… and that goes the same for you."

"Maybe it is because you flattened him like German Potato Salad? Und yes, I am German. My brother and sister are Germany!"

"Sorry I asked."

He stated, as he was flexing his arms, "And even so, I'm not buying your Nyotalia bullshit. You may be super hot, but you're not my type. I'll beat the shit out of you, but where does my chivalry go, especially from a self-perpetual elitist like you? We're only on assignment to find our leader. But I guess you decide to play Villain #1. Just so you know… I'm done listening to a bitch like you!"

Fem Prussia snarled, "You… How dare you talk that way to the Great and Almighty Prussia, you lecherous old man? You are cruel! Perhaps I can give you a lesson, with my–!"

Peter boomed, "NANTO! THE WORLD!"

Time stopped, as Fem Prussia froze in place, attempting to charge at him. Peter walked past her and said, "For someone who fights like a psychotic yandere from Germany, you're very good. Too bad you never met a monster… like me."

KAPOW!
He slammed his fist to her skull, smashing a bit of her skeleton, via an X-Ray Move. He turned away and said, "Auf Weidersehen, bitch." He restarted time, and she stumbled towards Farra. She called out, set in flames, "NICE ONE, BIG GUY!" She revved her punches and lambasted her into a fiery mess. She stumbled down, and she groaned, "The pain was half as bad as Prussia's anti-climactic punishment…" She fainted, letting out a death rattle, "Bleh! I'm dead."

Peter smirked, "One less problem." The soldiers retreated, as Mizuki cuffed Fem Prussia, "Perhaps maybe we can send her to West Plaza Asylum, in her brother's place. They're like two berries in a rotted vine. Nasty."

Farra said, "I'll say. We managed to secure this point."

Peter nodded, "Word. Now, let's go find Steven."

He and Farra left, as Mizuki said, "You go on ahead. I'll drop this freak off at the nearest police station." She looked around and asked, "Officer? Anyone?"

A policeman asked, "Oh, good. Someone came to stop the pandemonium."

Mizuki flashed her badge, "Mizuki Takase, World Agency. Just got one of the leaders of this chaos."

He said, "Thank you, ma'am. But did you eliminate the rest of the outraged soldiers?"

"Taken care of." Mizuki winked. "Actually, we're also looking for our leader. You seen him?"

The officer explained a little about a man heading to the center of town. Mizuki agreed, "I see…" She thought, "He's here…"

XXXXX

Steven and Cinder stared down, as she smirked, "Tell me… What do you accomplish, now that you're happily freed of this darkness you hold dear? Onigiri may be gone, but evil still lives. Of course, I'm like Onigiri… I don't take over the world. I will decimate it."

Steven huffed, "Armageddon types. Typical." He prepared to fight, "Just know this, Steven Cooke is against your types. Evil, nefarious, and deadly."

"You had me at Nefarious." She produced two flaming swords and said, "Now, I have your body."

She dashed forward, and Steven deflected each blade strike. But he winces in pain, knowing that the flames lightly burn him. "You're not from around here, huh? Those fiery swords, unique!"

"I have practiced my art!" She slashed forward, and Steven dodged it. He landed a swift kick to the face, but Cinder was standing. She snarled, "You touched me, but I don't feel any pain within."

"Oh, don't worry. Hokuto Shinken is, if practiced right, capable of holding back its natural ability. I won't kill you… … …yet."

"Why? Afraid I die instantly and you get shot in heartbreak?"

"No. But astute point. Afraid I cannot save someone like you."

Cinder dashed forward and hollered, "You twisted ass!"

XXXXX

Satsuki clashed with Jace and Mundy, as they were avoiding and blocking Satsuki's blades, a long sword and a short sword, made from her katana.

Satsuki said, "I call it Secret Sword Bakuzan. You shall be sliced by Gako and Koryu!"

Jace asked, "Which one?"

Satsuki held the long one, Koryu, and said, "THIS!"

SLICE!
She sliced through Jace, but he exploded into stars. Jace appeared and said, "Sorry… But Jace Be not dying tonight."

POW!
"Leave my man alone!" Kim kicked her down, and she produced a wooden paddle.

"I see you can recreate weapons from another dimension." Satsuki said to Kim.

Kim Cheonsa has the ability to produce weapons, using her Stand, Dream High, as an endless supply of weapons. That's her main arsenal, since she's usually a timid person. But she sometimes has a split-personality, created by her father, who once arrested her.
Jason Brighton, on the other hand, he has the ability to shoot stars, and even create uses of his magical powers, because of his Stand, Johnny B Badd, a power he received when he was in prison.

"Dream High is more than a power…" Kim responded, "It's my personal inventory. I'm, uh, not good with hand-to-hand combat… but it helps." She did a little twirl from her paddle, as Satsuki was annoyed, "How can you fight with a paddle?"

Kim smirked, "Because, you're up shit's creek, Lady Satsuki!" She swung hard.
SLASH!
But the paddle was split into two. Kim gasped, and Satsuki said, "Pathetic… If you're really that desperate, you should've grabbed a sword, and fight me, like a noble warrior."

She kicked her down, and Kim was in pain. Cassandra jumped in and punched at her, only for Satsuki to block her attacks. Kim sobbed, "If only I had a shovel…"

Cassandra called out, "I got this, Kim! Brighton!"

Jace took Kim, and they stepped back. Mundy joined in, and Cassandra shouted, "Just because you're solo in this New World, it matters not of you! I'm making sure you never take this city again!"

Mundy slammed her with the butt of his rifle, and Cassandra stomped down. She was hurt, as Cassandra said, "Hands behind the back. You're under arrest!"

Mundy gasped, "Uh, Cass?" Cassandra asked, "What?" A horde of Satsuki's students marched towards them. She sighed, "Oh."

Jace barked, "Shit! We were fighting that crazy bitch, we forgot about her followers!"

Mundy said, "I got this one!" He held up a jar and said, "Good thing I had this prepared."

Kim asked, "Is that… pee?" Mundy barked, "GAH! NO! This is a special mixture that can set off a blast towards wayward rogues, by the bushel." He tossed it to the front of the horde, and fired his rifle at it. The jar smashed open, and flames emerged from the ground. The soldiers were screaming, as they were caught on fire.

Cassandra asked, "What the hell was that?"

Mundy said, "Gasoline, mixed with nitro and U-238."

Kim cried, "URANIUM?!"

Satsuki broke free and landed a swift punt to Cassandra's chin. Cassandra dropped down, and Satsuki barked, "Clever skill, but don't think you can outwit me, you giant blow-up doll!"

"I prefer wind-up doll, gracias." Cassandra hissed. "But I get that, since it was a threat."

Satsuki thought, "Those two, the hunter and the android, are a problem. Those two, they're weak. This girl can produce weapons she can pull out, while the boy can shoot stars. My army is collapsing, but at least I am able to hold them off."

Mundy aimed at her, "Now, before we continue, where's Steven?"

"Your leader? Hmm… I have… Town Square, center of the city. You'll never reach him, as long as I'm in the way. I was once a leader for all of Honnouji Academy, and built a city that helped create warriors and soldiers! I have faced my own mother, and came out victorious! But I will not submit to The Gang, especially you four, who have no idea who I am or was!" Satsuki pointed Koryu at them and said, "You go through Steven Cooke over my dead body! It's the only way you will reach your friend! I'm as powerful now as you think! Satsuki Kiryuin denies no passage! I defy your strength! And demands a challenge! The four of you won't escape my rule!"

Kim hissed, "Do you like ever shut the fuck up?"

Satsuki glared, "Do you like ever fight back? Out of all the people I met, you're the most inferior one. YOU!" She pointed at Kim, "Name, girl!"

"Kim Cheonsa, of The Gang! I'm a rookie in World Agency!" Kim shouted.

"Cheonsa… So, the name rings a bell. You lived a fruitful life, being the daughter of a politician. Sadly, you have grown inferior in strength, because he disowned you."

"WRONG!" Kim shouted, "He still loves me, after what he did! I was in prison, because of him! But I was pardoned, when Father apologized to me! Not in public, but if I ever go back to Korea (ashamed that I am, I could not), then I'd still forgive him. But you have no right to besmirch my name, even if it is marred in controversy!"

She pulled out a steel pipe and said, "I won't forgive you!"

Satsuki scoffed, "So be it. I've grown tired of you. All four of you. You stopped my soldiers, but I won't go to jail. Here's the thing, little one… If you wish to become stronger, you come find me. I'm not a fighter in many traits, but I am skilled in combat. You should join me, as a way to build yourself."

Cassandra said to Kim, "Kim, no. She's baiting you."

Kim stated, "Is she? She makes a bold offer. I will put it under consideration… I wanted to be stronger."

"Kim!" Jace cried.

Kim gripped her pipe and barked, "But that doesn't mean I wanna smash your fucking face off, you cunt!" She hollered, as her eyes went dark, with shadows under her eyes, "DIE!"

Satsuki blocked Kim's attack, as Jace cried, "Oh, no! I was afraid of this!"

Mundy asked, "What? Why is Kim going wild?"

Cassandra asked, "Jason, did something happen to her in St. Dolphin?"

Jace said, "Kim… She's a dual personality. The Kim Cheonsa you met is a sweet innocent girl, but when conflicted heavily, put into too much pressure, she can change into a darker version of herself. Ever since her father put her in jail for a crime she didn't do, it manifested within her, and she can unleash the beast. Normally, she's nice and dependable, but if and when pushed too far, she'll change into a darker side, and it's not safe for anybody."

Cassandra whispered, "Dual p-personalities… She has Dissociative Identity Disorder!"

"She… She can switch from nice to mean, in a flash?" Mundy asked.

Jace said, "Yes. But even so, no one can stop her, until her target is stopped."

Kim and Satsuki fought, as he added, "In other words, when Kim goes into a blind rage, she doesn't stop. Once she goes into Dark Kim, she'll not go back, until she's satisfied."

Cassandra said, "All this, just because Satsuki said dirty things about her father. Jason, you and I will stop Kim… and maybe stop Satsuki, as well. Mundy, find Steven!"

He said, "Right, love. Town Square, on my radar." Oscar headed off, as Cassandra said, "Since Satsuki's distracted, might as well. Jace, follow my lead!"

"Right! Don't hurt Kim, alright?"

"I won't." She removed her glasses and said, "Besides…" She held her hands out and called out, "If anyone's getting punished, it's Lady Satsuki! ANDROID FOOL!"

She transformed, changing into red and purple body armor and a skirt. Her long black hair changed into white hair, and her eyes turned from green to red. This was Cassandra Martinez's ultimate form – Android Fool, her Spirit Caller, though she doesn't have a manifestation of her mind and heart. It's considered an upgrade.

Jason was in awe, "Wicked hot!" Cassandra barked, "Focus! Get Kim. I'll handle Satsuki."

She dashed forward and pulled Kim off of her. "May I cut in, senora?" Kim punched her, and Cassandra hardly felt it. She smirked, "A for effort, but F for not denting my lovely skin."

POW!
Satsuki was struck with a massive blow to the chest. Cassandra said, "Leave Satsuki Kiryuin to me, Kim."

Kim grinned, "Well, you did save me the trouble. I ain't listening to no cunt that wants to train me."

"Kim, listen to me! You're not evil!"

"SHUT UP, YOU MANNEQUIN! You think I listen to a sex robot doll with boobs the size of watermelons? I don't need your tears, you skank!" She jabbed at her, but easily, Cassandra caught her fist, "I'm sorry…"

JAB!
She jabbed at her solar plexus, with a soft chop. Kim gagged, and she collapsed. She was out cold, as Cassandra nodded, "Rest easy. I didn't mean to hurt you, but order there must be…" She barked, "Also, that remark about my boobs was uncalled for. I'm an F-Cup, thank you, Little Miss B's."

Satsuki asked, "You… You saved me?" Cassandra turned to her and glared, "I was saving Kim…"

POW!
She landed a swift right to her face. Satsuki coughed blood, and Cassandra cried, "Monster!" She hit fiery punches to her face and stomach, and Satsuki was moaning in pain. "You… You can't be that strong… You are the biggest fool I've ever met! You saved me, and you still beat me up?"

She dashed at her, as Cassandra prepared, "Indeed. You work with evil, you pay the price."

"I'm not evil!" She was running, holding Gako up in a horizontal hold, "I was only finding worthy prospects! Cheonsa was a fool! Only she can control her inner demons!"

"Is that right? But we're her friends! It doesn't matter!"

"Maybe not! But let's see if she changes her mind, without a head!"

She dashed forward and swung hard, "NOW DIE!"

BLAST!
Satsuki was shot with stars, and Jace barked, "No one talks to my girlfriend, like that!" he headed forward and shouted, "Jason Brighton in the hizz-ouse!"

Cassandra yelled, "JACE, YOU IDIOT! YOU'RE WIDE OPEN!"

Jace yelled, landing a star to Bakuzan. "USHAA!" Koryu was split into two swords, and Satsuki gasped, "Two swords?"

Jace said, "Go ahead. Pick up your baby brother."

Satsuki growled, "What nonsense! A sticker of a star? I like it… but… It's no 3-star. Too bad I can only create 2-Star Goku Uniforms, since 3-stars are scarce, and exclusive to my Elite Four." She peeled it off and said, "Besides… ONE Koryu is better than two. A katana like Bakuzan would never be duplicated."

Jace smirked, "Maybe not. But that's not the case for you."

WHAM!
Satsuki was smashed in the face with the clone Koryu. Similar to the late Ermes Costello, Jace's stars can sometimes duplicate one item at a time. If the sticker peels off, it instantly returns to the original. Of course, if used on a body part, it hurts like hell.

Satsuki dropped her swords, as she was on her knees. She growled, "You…"

Cassandra was stunned, "When did you–?"
Jace said, "I learned alot about my powers, back in prison. But what are you waiting for? Jace B wanting to go home!"

Cassandra dashed forward and yelled, "NOT WITHOUT STEVEN!" she landed a knee to Satsuki, and she coughed blood. She grabbed her neck and smirked, "Sorry, Lady Satsuki. Even if Kim agrees, she wouldn't go for a piece of shit like you."

Satsuki gagged, "Let… go!"

Cassandra's aura boomed, as she was coated in flames, "Buenos noches!"

WHOOOOOOSH!
Satsuki screams in pain, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

Satsuki collapsed, as her clothes were tattered, mostly burnt and singed, with huge holes. Cassandra changed back to normal, and dropped to her knees. Cassandra sighed, "Phew! Good thing I used a little strength. But I'm spent."

Jace smiled, "Alright, we won!"

Cassandra said, "Not for long. Jace, you and Kim go get Steven. I think… I need… to liiii… drrrrrrrr…" She powered down, as she was out of juice. She overheated again, and it would take some time to cool off. Her Finishing Move is able to burn away her opponent, but loses a lot of her energy. It's more of a double-edged sword, and is Cassandra's last resort.

Jace gasped, "OW! She's a robot? Wait… She's burning up!" Kim came to and moaned, "What happened? Jason? Cassandra?"

Jace said, "Oh, good… You're back. Cuff Satsuki, while I cool off Cassandra."

Kim whispered, "Oh, my goodness… She's a robot. Cassandra Martinez is a robot!"

Jace griped, "I KNOW THAT! GET TO SATSUKI!"

Kim said, "ME?! Why couldn't you do it? You can get to Satsuki."

Jace barked, "Because I don't want to look like a pervert, in front of you! Now go!"

He carefully held Cassandra down, as Kim went to Satsuki. Kim pouted, "Hmph. I'd never say that." She grabbed Satsuki and said, "I'm sorry."

Satsuki said, "You're really something. All four of you… and the rest. You have skill, but…"

"Don't talk. You've been through a mess."

"I know. That offer about me being your mentor… … … I mean it. I'm not that evil. I only did it to test you."

"But I wanna know. Who were you working for now, in Central City?"

Satsuki replied, "Sorry, but that kind of information is invalid. Besides, you wouldn't like her…"

Kim asked, "Her who? Tell me!"

Satsuki whispered her name, and then passed out. Kim was shocked.

Cinder clashed at him, and Steven suffered some blows from the fiery blades. He landed a swift kick, then a right hook, a left knee, and a roundhouse kick. She dropped down, and Steven said, "You're not bad… Let alone, you're a warrior… and also a beginner."

Cinder kneeled up and said, "I'm no beginner. I'm only the best to ever live. Steven Cooke believes in justice. Such is justice. Too bad I erased justice, corrupt as it is. Do you know James Ironwood?"

Steven asked, "Who? Wait… Was he a specialist in Ace-Ops Unit?"

"The very same. Of course, he and I go way back. He used to be my minion. I mean, Ironwood, he and Winter, they were dominant… until I broke them up. Wanna know why I did this?" she produced flames from her hands, "Because of this…" She shot fireballs at him, and he avoided them, "Holy Flaming Moe's… Flare Cell?"

"No." Cinder's right eye shone in a fiery aura, sprouting out a stream of light within. She hovered up and said, "I was holding back, all this time. Now, with the Autumn Maiden by my side, no one can stop me…"

Steven gasped, "The hell?" Mundy arrived, as he cried, "STEVEN!"

He went to him, as Steven said, "You came! Sorry I sidetracked."

"Never mind! The others are looking for you! Finish what you started–!"

"I can't!" Steven cried, "Because of her…"

Cinder smirked, as Mundy's eyes widened. He whispered, "It's… It's you!" He was furious, as he held his rifle. "Cinder Fall! YOU CUNT!"

Steven yelled, "DON'T SHOOT!"

BANG!
He fired a bullet at Cinder's head. But it melted, before it went close to her face. Mundy gasped, "WHAT? What the bloody hell just happened? Can someone explain?"

Steven said, "She said something about Autumn Maiden… And this happened."

Mundy thought, "So, it's true! She's… She's the Alpha and Omega of this world. She's the Autumn Maiden. What the hell is she even doing here? Neo and I were looking for her…" he griped, "You bloody tart! YOU REALIZED I WAS LOOKING FOR YOU?"

Cinder asked, "No. Permit me, but… Who are you?"

Steven asked, "You know her?"

Mundy said, "Top 10 in my Most Wanted list. In fact, she was a target from someone that hired me to take her in. Won't say. She chose to remain anonymous."

Cinder growled, "Red… That little…"

Steven remarked, "Interesting. I'm surprised you took part in bounty hunting. But this is my beat! Go take care of your other worries!"

Mundy said, "Chaos in Central City! Mass soldiers from past factions are invading, but we managed to slowly disband their troops. The others are on the way. I'm staying with you, like it or not."

Steven growled, "I'll handle Cinder alone. I don't care what you do. Steven Cooke wants a challenge, and I welcome it."

Mundy cried, "ARE YOU DAFT? THAT CUNT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BEAT!"

Steven ignored him, and headed to Cinder. He said, "Cinder Fall… Let's fight… ALL OUT! NO MERCY!" he roared, as his body bulged into a muscular form, ripping his shirt off in shreds. He huffed, "I lose more shirts that way!"

Cinder and Steven charge at each other, exchanging fists, clashing and blocking each other. All Mundy could do was watch in shock and horror. "You mad dafty! You're gonna get yourself killed! Cinder Fall's not at his level. She's beyond that! How can we stop a freak like her?"

Ryuko clashed with Asahi, and she was able to push her down. She raced forward and hit a kick to the chest. Ryuko flipped up and said, "You're finished!"

Riho gasped, "My god, they're good!"

Miki said, "Asahi, you have to disarm her!"

Asahi said, "Easier said than done. That blade is deadly! I'd like to know if she even had the second blade. Or where it is, exactly?"

Riho responded, "Who knows? But whatever she is, I want in!"

Asahi said, "NO! You and Miki may get hurt. Riho, this is a time to learn about strength and power, but also experience in missions like these."

Ryuko stated, "What's the matter? Scared of letting your groupies fight? Come get me!"

Riho asked, "Is that a threat?"

"Just wanting to see if you're froggy enough, if you have the balls."

Riho growled, as Miki stated, holding her back, "I've had just enough from you. Asahi, let me handle her! Save your strength for Steven."

Asahi nodded, "Right. Go get her."

Miki armed herself and said, "You may be a hero to your kind, stopping aliens, but I survived zombies. Miki Naoki – World Agency Agent C-Squad! Former Gaoka Clan member, now ally. And I'm taking you in, Ryuko Matoi!"

Ryuko smirked, "So be it. Scissors or shovel? The ultimate tool match begins!"

Miki & Ryuko clash weapons, and Ryuko brushes her off. Miki glared, "Okay, lady. Now, lemme show you the strength of heart, as a survivor!"

Ryuko asked, "I fought countless Life Fiber Monsters, while you were a shut-in! What makes you think you're on my level?"

Miki replied, "For the record, I survived and fought zombies. I won't die, because of you."

"I'm not gonna kill you!" Ryuko said, "Just a little slice and dice, and leave you hollow in pain."

"THAT'S STILL MURDER!"

They clashed, and Riho remarked, "Suddenly, I'm left out of this battle…"

Asahi said, "It's alright. Naoki got this. We have to meet with Mundy. He's found Steven."

They headed off, as a woman with dark skin and white hair said, "I don't think so, you dogs."

Asahi gasped, "Eh?" Riho asked, "Another one?"

Ryuko growled, "This bitch? Ugh… Sis really hires some ex-villains."

Rei yelled, "Shut up, Matoi! I'm only doing this, because Lady Satsuki has no one else. Plus, since her mother died, I'm under her care." She introduced herself, "Rei Hououmaru, Lady Ragyo's assistant. Of course, I'm now their assistant… by that, I mean Lady Satsuki & Matoi."

Riho responded, "Interesting. You don't see other people you recognize."

Asahi said, "World Agency, Asahi Sakurai! Let us pass. This isn't about you. It's about our friend."

Rei said, "Exactly. Steven Cooke is dangerous. Why the hell would he assist you, after making chaos?"

Riho asked, "Wait… Does that mean…?"

Asahi whispered, "The remnants of the factions in these worlds… It was you, wasn't it?"

Rei smirked, holding up a gun, "Guilty as charged." She fired, but Riho deflected it, "What?"

Riho prepared her weapon, "I will hold her off. You go to Steven. I wish to risk my life to save your friends, and even stop this–."

Asahi barked, "NO!" She stated, "I will handle this woman. You stay behind me."

"But, Ma'am…"

"I'm sorry! But I don't know how strong she is–!"

Rei roared, charging after Asahi, "YOU'LL PAY! THIS IS FOR LADY RAGYO!"

Riho went in front of Asahi and cried, "FOOLISH!"

SLICE!
Rei was struck down by a blade, and Riho held her light sword. Riho stopped Hououmaru from killing Asahi. Asahi said in shock, "Well… that was… anticlimactic."

Ryuko yelled, kicking Miki down, "Dammit! She's not a fighter, but a strategist! This bitch knew Mom, and she still loses…"

Asahi said, "That's sad. Now, permit me… Where were we?"

Ryuko said, "Ah, yes, you were going to save Steven Cooke, yes?"

Asahi nodded, "Yeah." She and Riho head off, "Miki, take care!"

Ryuko paused and realized that she was duped. Ryuko was angry, "THAT… BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!"

WHAM!
Miki slammed her shovel onto Ryuko's head, knocking her out. "How pathetic… You go into a rage, and you're wide open. At least I'm calm as the water is flowing in the riverbank. Sorry, Farra once said that, while meditating."

Ryuko was out cold, and Miki picked up her scissor blade. Ryuko grabbed her wrist and seethed, "You know… … … It'll take more than a shovel… to knock Ryuko Matoi out."

SNAP!
Her red glove suddenly popped out a key. Ryuko's body started to morph, as Miki cried, "No… What is she–?"

Her outfit changed shape,and was changed into scantily-clad battle armor.
"KAMUI SENKETSU!"

Miki was shaken, "WHAT THE–? What are you?"

Ryuko grabbed her blade, and she prepared, "Round 2, Zombie Bitch!" Miki growled, "I'm left with no alternative choice… Fight strength with strength!"

Miki planted her shovel down, spade first, and she glared, "Ryuko Matoi, if you won't turn yourself in, I'll make you turn yourself in! No… That came out wrong. But still!"

Ryuko yelled, "SHUT UP, BITCH! RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
CLANG!
A lone shovel appeared from out of nowhere, as a huge muscular man with a dog's head, dressed in a black mask and cowl, deflected Matoi's scissor blade.

Miki shouted, "You asked for it! THE UNDEAD KNIGHT!"

Ryuko gasped, "What the fuck?"

Miki Naoki unleashed her powerful creature, The Undead Knight. It was a Stand that resembles her late dog she and the others rescued, Taromaru. This Stand was created, after Miki's original Stand, Four Weeks, fused with her friends' three Stands and Megumi Sakura's deceased soul. With it, armed with a shovel that once belonged to Kurumi Ebisuzawa, it became the first fused Stand, since C-Moon.

Miki responded, "Matoi cannot see it… Stands are physical manifestations of the soul, and Stand Users are drawn to one another. Luckily for me, Matoi has NO Stand."

Matoi and Undead Knight clashed, as Matoi was stepping back, "You freak! What's going on? Why are you attacking me by doing nothing? Shit! That little bitch is psychic!"

Miki said, "Though, I question Ryuko Matoi's sixth sense, if she knew my attacks were coming."

Matoi was angry, and she and Miki continued to fight. Hououmaru was out cold, as she was far from the battle.

Miz-K NOTE: She was useless.

Cinder and Steven exchange punches, and he avoids her flaming strikes. He launched a roundhouse kick, but Cinder ducked. She hit an uppercut, and a knee strike, and then a dropkick. He fell to the ground, and she hovered over. He went on one knee and rubbed his lip, "Damn, she's tough."

Cinder called out, "What's the matter? Not the strongest in the bunch, but I thought you were made of pure power."

Steven glared, "Steven Cooke can take it. Hokuto Shinken is strong enough to make my body hard as rock, when angry."

Mundy asked, "Why aren't you angry now, mate?"

He glared, "I welcome the challenge." He dashed at her, and they continued to fight. Mundy asked, "He wanted a challenge? I don't think Cinder Fall's a good choice, mate." He thought, "He kept saying he welcomed the challenge. What the hell does that mean? Is this about our feud with The Sailor Guardians?! We lost that battle… by the skin of our teeth. He must be desperate to grow stronger."

Mundy pleaded, "Mate, this isn't the right challenger! Let me handle this cun–!"
"NO!" He roared.

Mundy gasped in fright, as Steven yelled at him, "THIS IS MY FIGHT!" He was desperate, but he was also losing.

Cinder Fall has Steven Cooke on the ropes. How will The Gang be able to make it in time, to stop Cinder Fall? And why is Steven Cooke fighting her, alone?
And what of Miki Naoki? Her battle with Ryuko Matoi continues.
But find out in the next chapter, as our story is just starting.
