Ren boredly waits in the club room while Taiga prepares for the Mirror Universe trip, however as everyone shows up Ren brings up stuff they can do, such as the hauntings in Kumen that Asarar mentioned.

But it appears Ymir moving her Macross HQ to the center where CorSec's old location, they can see construction being done and opened tunnels going down beneath to where the old Net system tunnels before it exploded. As they get past all the crews and guards, they reach the undergrounds and indeed find a classic looking medieval castle and begin to explore it, with what appears to be classic horror stuff. At the end they are even chased by a Mummy who they attempt to avoid by going further through the castle until they notice it is bleeding and it turns out to be Tora. It seems to be her secret lab she designed long ago before building the CorSec building up top when everyone first came to Kumen and she needed a place to go into cyro sleep with Sen, designing the castle to try to keep people out. However, a vampire has indeed set up home at the castle during this time and the group has to get rid of it.

The Reality Strikers Session 71: Mirror Mirror
Location: Asteroid C
Taiga, Erica, and Yuki prepare everyone with what they'll need to know before going into the Mirror Universe, including the run-ins with the Anti Spirits last time with the Aquarius and how they tried to go after Sylph and Mireille. After bringing everyone up to sleep on how the Net was corrupted at the time before getting shut down and restarted and how that Net was used to go into the Mirror Universe, Taiga plans to use the Reality Gate to return to the Mirror Universe since it has it's own address. As they go up into the ship, they find the children once again hiding up on it to go into the universe once more before they are sent away. As they arrive in the Mirror Universe, one thing interesting is that while there is no Yggdrasil, unlike other realities where there is an empty space, a shadowy image of a tree can be made out where Yggdrasil is located. As they near it, they scan the it and see a massive crystal like structure, oddly broken in places and cracked, but in the formation of a tree.
As they continue, there is only one world now where Kumen and Geyze once was located; it seems to have an anti-field around it that would mess with the Aquarius' engines. As they study the planet, it looks like the planet is a world with Geyze, Kumen, and the Spirit Planet's landmasses all fitting together perfectly. As they prepare the ship to continue to go to the tree while they go down to the surface, Anti-Spirit Life Forms rise up to go after it. After a brief teleport problem, they arrive on the surface where they see a hogepodge of cities from both worlds. After going to the library to try to learn more, they see history begins around 10-641 with no one seeming to notice that fact. Samson catches them in the library and has them follow him, which Erica trusts him on. He explains after Kaori took everyone, the universe died and came back to life as Anti-Spirit creatures, explaining that they began to take human form and not realizing they were monsters; their duty now is to guard the tree.
After musing on the nature of the creatures, the group heads back up to the ship wondering how they could get near the tree without riling the Anti-Spirits. As they prepare to go, they spot the serpent - or at least part of it's essence over here - in the tree. They muse on the nature of it being here and if that's the full thing and how it manages to destroy their reality. As they debate what to do, one of the engines flares and explodes, drawing the Antis and they have to flee away back to their reality, with the swarm coming in after them, attacking the ship. The group barely makes it back, but the Striker is damaged beyond use, floating and smoking, and Taiga injured.

Location: PAX
Taiga eyes some white in her hair as they go over a post-mission briefing, informing that the Mirror Universe vanished from the reality map, making it hard to go back and learn more about the Anti Spirits and the Serpent. Charlotte notes that they could probably use Yggdrasil to try to go back and locate them or use Kaori's Crystal Pathways. The group puts it on hold for now until they can locate it, but it's clear that re-locating the Mirror Universe might solve some major problems later.

She also sends a group to the Maka Homeworld for more information.

The group explores the snowy region to try to find out where Kito discovered the Magi Relic, but are not coming up with anything too odd outside the Maka up in the sky. Simon's scans pick up mana energy underground and the team finds a cave entrance with ice blocking it; the entrance appearing to be about foot or two wide at a slant. The group feels a mana build up from the entrance and barely get a shield up in time after Lana helps make the entrance bigger, with Makai exploding out and attacking the Maka in the air in a sneak attack. What follows is a Makai battle against the group, a wild ride of insane magical girls using all sorts of abilities to try to crush the group as the Maka try to stop them before it gets out of hand. Eventually the pulse of nightmares begins to hit the mana users and drops everyone, causing the Makai to flee while everyone is disoriented and those who can try to track it.
Erevis' people arrives to provide aid and as they track the signal from coming beneath the cave; Terra tries to use her earth powers but gets a convulsing jolt with images. Chelsea points out that the Makai seemed eager to escape that cave as the group as Neekito returns with Kito in the same red blood robes that Terra saw in a vision of the mages underground. She informs them that the Blood Mages are underground and she needs her to do a counter to the chimes.

Everyone goes for them to stop the ritual and are surprised to see Zayne protecting the Magi, leading to a battle between the two groups. However, in the end, the Maka overpower Zayne and bring her down along with Erevis and Xanatos help. Zayne informs them that the relic was meant to try to drive away the darkness being summoned to Geyze that is a threat to all Maka and Mana users that was brought out and were attempting to use the relic to counter it, even if it meant working with the bad Blood Mages.

Myria arrives with a plan to cleanse the engines for flight and use it to power their shields against the Makai.

The Maka look exhausted as the group from the PAX arrives, spotting the recent Makai attack on the Academy. Selena informs them that she thinks whatever it is will descend upon them sometime that night and Id points out if the Makai send in another wave, the group might not have enough energy/mana to repel whatever it is that's coming then. Ao's group arrives with the manga from the Maka Homeworld and Lana goes over them, taking note how the first few volumes are missing. She goes over what the manga goes tell them: the one Makai twin fell into a depression, that the power of her depression drew in and infected multiple Maka around her. Lana theorizes the original Makai was sealed away has become free. Sabrina goes over how Maka normally turn into Maka - hatred, despair, heartbreak, etc is like poison to a Maka, turning them into a Makai - noting that a normal Makai doesn't just turn others around them though.
Jaime ponders if that is why Zayne went weird and Lumi studies the Blood Magi's testimony, noting they were trying to do a ceremony to drive away the Eater. They wonder why Zayne has been so tightlight if that is the case and if one of the Maka can come over and allow them to examine their Tsukaima.

Jikuu reads her mind while she is distracted by Sunny and finds Zayne's mind is dull outside her love for Sunny and her emotions are turned almost off, as if something has eaten it; and that she keeps track of her other. After it sabotages some of the equipment keeping track of it, Sunny admits she'd lose her powers without it as well as other side affects. She informs them that the massive thing dark feeling that has begun to arrive at Geyze will go after the other magical girls and drive them mad like the other Makai.

A blood missile shoots off and Sparkling is forced to chase it down before it hits the Academy, destroying it just in time. before being sent back to the cave by Shin. They find Maka and Makai in cages as well as eye symbols staring at them. As they go deeper they find the Blood Mages uses more of them in a blood ritual, including the Explosive Makai that Sabrina seemed to have a hate boner for, which causes her to go into rage mode and attack the group, beginning to exhibt Makai properties. She notes the group reminds her of the group that had a hand in the death of her her parents, seeing the maka and makai slaughtered for their power; even the blood seems to control their bodies like puppets after they're taken down but in the end they're stopped.

Lumi notes they seem to have gotten all the Blood Mages that were bad and the Maka/Makai that remain have left, leading to the worry about Sabrina after her nearly going Makai due to rage and hatred. The hope is due to her having a lot of friends, she'll have a good support group. Kito also took a bit of damage so they'll keep her at the academy to recover and Gwen plans a vacation for everyone to help them relax and have some fun.
