TAW Session 582: Alternate Problems Part One
Location: PAX
Lenneth holds a meeting where she informs the group that the Pope wishes to see the team after the attack on her life incident by Paladin, due to the fact the Pope is Paladin and the Church is not happy by this fake Paladin trying to ruin their friendship and make waves with the Church's image. While they bring Taiga to see if he is really a duplicate since the prisoner says he has been here a while, they split up to either go to meet with Taiga, the prisoner, or the Pope. Jaime is sent to meet with Taiga since she is feeling hostile toward the other Paladin after his attack on Lenneth which hurt Ao. While this is going on, Chad, Jikuu, and Lenneth meet with Pope Paladin where they go to the brig to meet with the other Paladin, passing "Xevil was right" written on the brig walls. As both groups meet up and question him, they find he believes Jaime and others like her believes they are gods and are walking the path of the Illium, which will see the world burn.
As the team discusses what the Illium are - the possible future of the Suisen Empire that went down a bad path and nearly destroyed the current day Suisen Empire with their futureistic power, Lenneth calls for a meeting. She warns each of them to not grow big heads lest they ever walk a path that could lead to a a new Illium or a variant of them and they need to look our for a reality that holds them as well, what with the realities being recreated. As Paladin is from the alternate reality, though it was hard to detect due to how long he has been here it seems, they group decides to go to the Alternate Reality to seeif they can learn answers as well as bring Alternate Katrina here to try to counsel him and fix his broken mind, as well as have the Strikers try to learn more about the Alternate Reality.
Location: Asteroid C
After the Strikers suit up and Aurica opens the reality gate, the team goes through along with some of the PAX personnel; however they find the reality no longer as peaceful as it was last time, as there is smoke and chaos going on in the city from riots occurring, EarthGov ships in the sky and police forces trying to quell the chaos. Erevis and her team move off to try to find Katrina while Taiga heads off to learn more about the situation with her Strikers. Id hooks into the holonet to learn that someone has been stirring miscontent between the Illium and others, leading to the riots. They also come across images of a tall looming Dark One like figure that is feminine, but also doesn't appear to be quite Dark One, though the images make the holonet act up. There is also hints that the man stirring up the miscontent might be the Dark creature, both having the same eyes in the images and making the images act up at the same time; however Jaime gets the alert that the reality pirates have entered the reality from Taiga's device, though Taiga informs them they will handle it.
The group contacts Katrina and once they get her location, head for her apartment, avoiding the looters and roiters. The entire area feels almost like a zombie horror flick, with how they act - acting as if they are in a hate field rage and as they near the area with the man giving speeches, the world feels wobbily, especially to psionics. As they hurry on and get out of the range of the hatred, they arrive at Katrina's where Victoire believes she can counter the effect of the hatred going on. They arrive at a radio station where Chad and Erevis work to repair the Illium/EarthGov tech so she can sing her Song Magic to the entire population, quelling the hatred that has gripped it. However, as Victoire manages to counteract it, she draws the attention of whatever caused it as the man who gave the speeches arrives at the station; Erevis goes into hyperspace form to rip out his heart, but nothing seems to happen and is flung away in her hyperspace form. As Jaime attacks next, it marks her as it's head is exploded off by it and worms fall, the voice speaking seemingly distorted and wrong. As Aurica opens the gate back home and they all retreat, Id stays behind to ask questions and learn it's real name, which it tells - learning it's name though proves to be fatal fo it.
Back at the Astroid, Erevis mumbles that she can still feel a hint of madness from being near it as they all recover and congratulates Victoire on cleansing the population. They worry over what the mark on Jaime's leg means as Katrina learns about Paladin and agrees to stay on to look after him.
Session 59: Alternate Problems Part Two
Location: The Alternate Reality
The Strikers arrive outside the EarthGov building where the rioters are throwing themselves mindlessly at the building while the Arcana Dragoons are holding them back; led by Haruki, they seem to be piling the bodies of the rioters in a corner after knocking them out when Taiga is alerted to the fact the pirates have arrived in the reality. The team shows themselves and Haru notes that they asked for help, but transmissions seemed to be blocked. The group is taken inside where Charlotte does subtle scan of the Illium technology that has been merged with the EarthGov technology before meeting with Aya. After being brought up on the situation with the pirates, the group ponders what they could be after and decide it is likely the Illium ressurection technology as well as the ship - both in the building. The other Arcana Dragoons Haruki, Haru, and Gemi go to defend the ship while Noire leads the Strikers to defend the ressurection machine while Taiga stays behind with Aya.
A smaller Arcana Unmei guides them to the ressurection machine where she has to unlock the door when the other Charlotte with the eye patch attacks - but her goal seems to be Kaori. Stuffing her into a sack, the two Charlottes face off as the Strikers repel her but end up trapped in the ressurection machine as it's turned on, which is bad since they are alive. Thena grabs everyone to teleport them out which is extremely painful as they continue the chase, leading the Arcana behind to try to shut down the room. They end up chasing off the other Charlotte and retrieving Kaori as they all go to the ship to see if anything happened, but the Arcana report no signs of anything. Leaving Ren and Kaori behind at the ship with the Arcana, they return back to the ressurection machine, they find parts have been ripped out while they were gone chasing after Charlotte and checking on the ship.
Taiga uses the ship's mapping system to guide them to an exit where Noire, Charlotte, Thena, and Si find mechs flying off with the parts up to a PAX in the sky. This leads to a battle to stop as many parts from entering the PAX while Kaori and Ren are ambushed by Charlotte in the hanger where she tries to grab Kaori once more. Charlotte wraps to join Ren and help ward off her counter part after she nearly throws Ren to her death. After Kaori's bite repels the other Charlotte and she teleports out and the others manage to stop a good portion of the ressurection parts from entering the hanger, a specialized Gear with PAX hulling enters the scene to try to steal the ship. The team forms up and after a harsh battle manages to keep the Gear from getting it's prize - leading to them finding out the pilot is indeed the other Adeline. Having enough of them, the other Adeline begins to tap into some sort of Spade like powers as it glows reddish when something scares her off and the pirates retreat.
The team returns to Aya and the others when Ao's son makes an appearance, claiming that he'll one day take over everything after all this chaos. After they make fun of his name a little, since Ao has only daughters in their reality, they move off for the time being. After they return to Asteroid C, the team debates what the pirates want with Kaori and what it can mean in the future and Taiga does point out that there's only a handful of possibilities where Kaori gets her powers due to how uniqe she is - the right combination has to occur. The team decides to go to Juan's spa and relax. Back in Reality 25, their Charlotte seems furious with Kaori accusing her of rape when she was kidnapping her and vows to show her darkness. Adeline notes to Charlotte that she is aware of Taiga's tracking of them and will use that against them to go to their reality and pillage them.
TAW Session 583: Alternate Problems Part Three
Location: PAX
The adventures of the Alternate Reality continues in Heart of Darkness outside brief appearances with Alternate Katrina before then.
TAW Session 584: Classical Issues
Location: Cheryl Manor
Cheryl draws Taiga with fangs after learning that she plans to actually take Cran's Repliforce to the Classic Reality and asks Angela if her spy will actually report everything they learn to her. Angela informs her that Anyata is a first autonomous Beta; all this is going on while Lemon works on wedding plans for Adeline.
Location: PAX
Katrina reports to the bar with her reports on Rachael and Paladin where everyone is hanging out and Andrea is posing as a waitress to mess with Marcus; soon Cran arrives at the bar with his Repliforce people to meet with the Strikers as they arrange things to go to the Classic Reality while having a meal at Katrina's. As Taiga goes over various questions like how Classic and Alternate and Tareh got their reality names compared to the numbers of the other realities and soon they head off to Asteroid C to transport to the Classic Reality.
Taiga notes that the last time she was here when she was 9, the reality was in bad shape due to Senreich, but now it seems more advanced than their reality by 300 years. They consider time is moving faster here, but then Wind's kids by Megumi showed up to greet them last time, leaving them wondering what is going on. Taiga notes the date of Classic was 2241 last time they were here; they travel through the wastelands and approach a city where people with red triangles on their foerheads are located. Alouette seems absolutely giddy as Cole and Blue try to figure out where the reploids are at when Alouette explains that she thinks they are a kind of race that includes both of them. The group is directed to an archive location to try to learn more about what happened to the reality after they were here last time, spending some time to go through the history.
They learn after Senreich, the heroes managed to help restore the Earth and there was an of peace in late 22XX, but then vanished until 23XX when Copy X rose up and his era of "peace" began. This led to his iron grip rule until the mysterious XX returned along the same group of heroes from the past that defeated him, however they remained behind keep the peace and X's guardians took over. Until an incident occurred dubbed Ragnarok and the heroes once again vanished. After things progressed timeline wise with Ciel creating the biometals to try to help humans and reploids to stop fighting and work together after how close Earth nearly was destroyed. This is what leads to the current day utopian era with a few outbreaks here and there of Mavericks that they worked together to overcome via The Sage Trinity that has risen up as the leadership and the Legion was created as the government. Soon Reploids and Humans had law that they would be equal and Humanoids was the term dubbed. The Guardians are a peacekeeping force and it seems people are hunting for biometals.
Armed with the knowledge they now have on Classic's history, Taiga admits to be surprised at how much time has passed - at least 300 years. Sirens are soon heard and outside is a giant airship in the sky as some forces are chasing after a Maverick thief through the city. Cran's reploids go after them while the Stirkers remain behind to continue to go through the files with Cran. Charlotte discovers that the Sage Trinity law to make Reploids and Humans one involves surgey and other details it appears, where humans at a cerain age remove parts and become more cyborgish almost. Cole and Blue meanwhile engage the Maverick that has a biometal with a Mega Man power and after defeating it they run into the Guardians where they run into a reploid that looks a lot like Alouette grown up in teenage form commanding them. She invites them to come along with her where she can give them answers about the past heroes, but they decide for the time being to return to the others, so she hands over to Alouette and Cole the way to get in touch with the Grand Nuage and says her name is Prairie. Alouette admits after they leave that she has a chip that makes her age up and that she looks a lot like that. Meanwhile Cran discovers the names of the Sages - Master Thomas, Albert and Mikhail.
Once they are reunited, the team has two choices - to go to the Legion HQ and talk to the Sages or go see Prairie and they opt to see the Sages in the hopes of getting the tech that Alouette wants so much. After working their way into the giant tower in the middle of the city and getting past the long wait lines that they'd have to wait, they are granted an audience. There they tell the three sages they are from another reality and why they are there, as well as hoping to learn more about the past. Albert informs them that Seraphna is an enemy of the state when asked and admitting they do not know much about the past, Thomas tells them the heroes used time to speed up the healing of the planet; then some of them used time to travel forward to aid the future knowing what was to come. However after the Copy X incident and Ragnarok, no one knows what happened to them until recently when they been working with the Guardians. Explaining how the biometals can turn someone into the power of a Mega Man and everyone is seeking them, Albert suspects the guardians are after the biometals for themselves despite working for Legion.
The Sages agree to help Alouette learn the Humanoid tech, so they leave her with the Sages while Taiga takes the others back to the reality portal. As they arrive, Ren and some of the others remain suspicious, like wondering where do all the human parts go after they undergo the process to become Humanoids and what about the Reploids who undergo, since the Sages remain secretative. Taiga and the others decide to reman behind to investigate and seek out the Guardians while Cran's people go back while they wait for Alouette to finish up.
Session 60: Classical Solutions
Location: Classic Reality
After Taiga and Charlotte have taken Repliforce, minus Alouette, back to the Prime Reality, the other Strikers continue to the coordinates provided by Prairie to meet with the Grand Nuage using Alouette's name. Prairie tells Noire that she is hoping to clear up the misunderstanding with the Sage Trinity believing them to be the bad guys, especially Seraphna; the Guardians are situated in the outer regions, mostly out of the Legion's territory where Slither Inc has influence and is run by someone called Serpent. Ren jokes that they found their Serpent finally, but the others doubt they're the same. When asked what the red triangle on the forehead is on reploids, Prairie tells them that Legion Law essentially makes Reploids/Humans one and that Reploids now have "natural" lifespans. When Noire asks about Bot World, Prairie admits that long ago they encountered such a world but it's been a long time since they heard from them. And when asked about Ragnarok, she tells them that after Copy X and Omega were defeated that a terrorist attack was enacted on the city and Harupia and others sacrificed themselves to stop most of it, but the damage was still massive to the surrounding areas. When asked why Maverick attacks still occur when Sigma is long gone and Prairie notes Mavericks will always exist in some form.
At this point Taiga has joined them and been joining in on the conversation as they arrive at their destination, a massive dig site owned by Slither Inc. Sneaking into it through a tunnel, they meet up with Wind and Megumi's twins Soma and Fuyu who seem to have discovered a female looking Mega Man X - XX. One of the heroes involved in Ragnarok, she looks busted up as Seraphna is using Biometal X to try to jumpstart XX's systems. As Taiga aids them in turning XX back on, they also retrieve Biometal F and seem to have Biometal H from earlier - the one that the Maverick was trying to steal. While Si and Biometal F hold a conversation no one can hear while she uses it, the Slither Inc mechaloids begin to pour into the dig site forcing everyone to foxhole out and back to the ship where Taiga and Prairie announce the mechaloids have gone a rampage toward the city due to some dark energy from two Biometals Serpent found. Biometal Z and something else.
The team goes out to defend the city and after a short battle, stops the mechaloids. Afterward Seraphna tries to get the Biometal W but finds it was fake in the battle and only attains Biometal Z. They learn that it was taken to the Slither Inc HQ. So they head there next. Having been joined by Leviathan from Copy X's guard, the ancient guardian is now repaird by Seraphna to help out. As they arrive at Serpent's inner chamber, he uses Biometal W and transforms to force them into battle where they put him down, denouncing them as Mavericks for stopping his plans to save the world. They find that Metal W seems to have been destroyed with him as they check the systems and find something unusual. Two figures that met with him and proclaimed that he could not handle the power of Metal W and would be consumed - Prometheus and Pandora. Seraphna seems to know who they are due to her long life.
They return back to Legion HQ to get Alouette and report their findings, with Thomas congratulating them and Albert aplogizing to them for doubting them. Alouette seems happy with the data she has on the Humanoid information and Soma and Fuyu tell Kaori to tell Wind to get his butt back to their reality. As they all leave, a shadow figure - perhaps one of the Sages, meets with Pandora and Prometheus, tells them to keep an eye on all the heroes and interlopers from the other reality as they are surrounded by multiple Metal W's.
Session 61: The War of Redefining Reality Part I: Incursions
Location: Asteroid C
With Jaime, Adeline, and Gnome's wedding a few hours away, Taiga is studying the Reality Pirate's movements among the Reality Map and finding it strange as everyone joins her that hasn't attended the wedding yet. Charlotte, Noire, Ren, Si, Kaori, and Kumiko ponder what the movement can mean as they are stealing low risk realities and targets and it seems like they might know they are being tracked as they have changed their tactics. Charlotte wonders if they might be here replacing people but Taiga notes that she has detection to pick up people entering their reality, especially the 25th and C'en; she sets up a trap on Noire's advice while they go out to eat and get sushi. After they finish eating and return, Taiga starts the trap and it seems they respond a little too quickly like they are begging them to react.
While this is going on, Kaori suddenly collapses and Taiga and Ren have to use their reality powers to wake her from her coma. It is clear some sort of attack occurred on her in a reality sense, indicating something is up as Charlotte does a psionic scan of her and taps into something that messes with her sanity a little that gives het insight - something has happened at Yggdrasil. Ren notes that Yggdrasil is connected to Centerpoint which is connected to Kaori as she wakes up, so they deccide to go check it out as Taiga brings in Jubei to watch the place incase it's attacked.
Ymir greets them and guides them to the trunk of the tree where Brandr Windrunner gives them a "ride" to the bottom to make it quicker by grabbing them al land jumping to the bottom. Despite it saving them days, it nearly kills them all - but him - and they arrive at the cave where some of centerpoint still exists. Kaori finds she is unable to enteract with her mother computer as it's locked out, despite it being designed to only do so. Taiga theorizes that another Kaori might have been brought in to unlock Kaori's power and that will slowly drain her power. Charlotte at the same time finds Wind in the vines with a piece of a Emerald Sword in his chest, hyperspace shooting out everywhere. They take him back to the Asteroid C for the time being as they do not know if it's safe to remove it; the group decides to head to the wedding at Cheryl's manor and plan to try to find Reality Pirate's incase they are present, worried they might be there and planning something, having been replacing people for months now.
TAW Session 589: The War of Redefining Reality Part II: Lockdown
Location: Cheryl's Manor
TAW Session 590: The War of Redefining Reality Part III: The Alpha and The Omega and The Sigma
Location: Angela's Shuttle
They arrive in Cran's Owl Repliforce battleship and Adeline is given a spare battle suit by Jaime as she works to cover her upper body with what remains of her wedding dress before meeting with Cran and his command battle staff. Cran, Blue, Cole, Anyata, Death Star, and Angel fill them in on how the reploids began to go Maverick at will and Alouette has been taken and that they kept the shuttle to learn if the Sigma virus was from another reality before it was freed to go rampaging across the base by an outside force. What the group learns is the Sigma virus seems to have nothing to do with the current Repliforce going maverick at will, outside having the Sigma code in them and someone inserted it into the latest models, and that the Sigma shuttle was freed to help cause more distractions while Alouette was taken. Since the group agrees they are trying to take the latest technology, they wonder if they are trying to take everything they can while working their way up to the PAX and if that fails scrap it so the group can't have it anymore. As they have been joined by Noire, Dias, and Montana, the group is fully united now and Dias even surprises Cran with saying he thinks Repliforce is very important.
As they try to get past the Maverick ship that are covering for two escaping ships, Mavericks begin to teleport in and lead to a fight, but when another ship rams into the Owl, Cran orders them back to Angela's shuttle to try to intercept the fleeing ships while he handles it. The team slowly escapes while Cran prepares to ram and self-destruct the Owl to take out and crash as many of the Repliforce fleet that he can with Angel standing by to try to get them both out as the team takes to chasing after the two Repliforce ships. Soon Cran's manuever shakes the area but with no sign the two escaped. Death Star contacts them that he managed to get on one of the ships and set down a transcoder that Cole can use to get them on board, leaving Adeline to wonder when he did that. She and Jaime stay behind to help monitor things with Montana while the rest teleport over during which she tells Ren that they need to have Taiga scan her reality signature.
Liquid Montana strikes the hanger, their Noire having survived by touching Montana's foot in the last battle, and begis to rampage, holding Jaime like a tool to smash people with. They beat the group of Montana and manage to take it down without destroying it, force Liquid Noire to retreat down the elevator shaft and reveal Adeline was inside the chasis. As they move up to the bridge they find a bunch of Mavericks and Alouette being affected in this hive mind scenario. They seem to have copying abilities as the team has to deal with them copying their powers and using it against others in the party; as Alouette is restrained, she informs them that she designed the Reploids, but never put Sigma in the copy chips information. While Adeline studies Charlotte's phrasing on cheating curiously, the ship begins to crash due to Liquid Mech destroying the engines, leading to the team splitting up to destroy it while Cheryl and Angela try to crash land. The team manages to defeat her but not before she stabs deep into Noire's stomach and Cheryl crash lands the ship, but the other gets away. Cole is put into command of Repliforce as the teams are split up for the time being.
Location: Tokyo
Noire returns to Tokyo to check on her wound dealt by her alternate counter part where they learn from Andrea that she has injected herself into Noire's body to consume her. Andrea uses the Dark One ritual book to extract her and put into a jar for the time being until she thinks of what to do with her. Over at Cheryl's manor, Adeline and Cheryl arrive with her people to meet up with Chad and Taiga. They muse on what to do about the other Adeline and how she's been one step ahead while Jaime and Adeline move off to be alone finally for their wedding night and Taiga seems to be taking all this hard. And on the PAX, Lenneth is eyeing the Thena footage and notes she will have to assign someone else to the newly constructed Legislation building in which Xanatos volunteers.
Location: Geyze
The group goup goes over Selena's arrest and decide to try to confront Sasha with Taiga's wrist watch, which confirms another reality signature. After some back and forth, Simon freezes her so she cannot move about and she confirms that she has been brought here to repay a debt to the 25th Reality. The group plans to spend time interrogating her out of sight of the students.
Geyze: Record of Spirit War Session 6: The War of Redefining Reality Part IV: Stirring the Pot
Location: Kumen
Asarar is at her bar reading about Selena being arrested and learning about the connection between the two bars being locked down, even though Max is watching Luci's bar for them. At that moment a Kumen offical comes in and informs them through paperwork that Ylva is planning to use her Presidental power to do rennovations to the lower city for the homeless - which means tearing down the bar for it. Asarar blames Ymir, believing she is behind it, but Luci wants to talk to her first while Kira decides to sabotage the Macross Building Project, which oversees not only this but the Spirit-Tech Defense Towers that Ymir is building around the city. They split up, with Bonnie remainig behind at the bar since Chelsea hasn't given her an order, and Luci along with Asarar arrive at Ymir's office to discuss the situation. Ymir eyes the paperwork and informs them they been had then admits Ylva is better lately, but due to her injuries she has been taking it easy lately and given over the job of President to her as well as the Corporation title until she is better, which means she holds both jobs. At that moment Kira's explosions go off and Ymir is infuriated as she sends people to investigate and dismisses them.
As they arrive at the bar they find Bonnie is missing and it has been ransacked as well as a message from Max about duplicates. It seems someone lured them out to see if they had any technology to rob and pin the blame on them for attacking Ymir as they learn the spirit-tech has been stolen during the chaos of the explosions and they'll likely be blamed. Luci opts to confess what they did, so Asarar and Kira sneak out while she makes the call.
Location: Geyze
Lumi grows annoyed while they interrogate the alternate Sasha who informs them that the others are in Hapian Castle and seems annoyed at the idea that she harmed anyone, merely repaying debts. Threna, who is in a death mode due to what happened to the main Thena, marks Sasha with a cat mark, teleports everyone into Jaime's gnome garden that she made where they are trapped in some sort of three layer trap. After they manage to break through the floor to get out of the trap and scare the soldiers and bully their way past the soldiers who the fake Liana orders to deal with; after she is gone and they bully a guard to take them to the dungeons where the others are being held, suddenly Brandr Windrunner comes smashing through the ceiling and sends Talia and Threna flying through the sky and begins to backbreak Gwen when they inform him Liana has been replaced. As they sic him on the other Liana, the others find everyone safe and found in the dungeon.
As they arrive in the throne room which has a hole in it, there's no sign of anyone except a note from Brandr stating the duplicates fled onto a fled onto the Mew Mew being flown by another Charlotte. Selena decides to remain behind with some female guards she trusts to do some house cleaning in the castle and re-establish order before she rejoins them, having Celes take charge with everyone. As they arrive at the Academy, the students accept the real Sasha is back while Rain gets Sasha caught back up; the others investigate Cypher and Chelsea's house and find Cypher has been tied up and shot in the shoulder as well as Aimée and Mélodie being missing. The Mew Mew also is no where to be seen. Cypher seems to think Lana is the culprit, but admits that another red head could have done it - like Charlotte. As the Aquarius arrives, the group takes the time to get their ducks in order before they go off looking for the missing ship.
Location: Kumen
An enforcer named Zoë arrives to take Luci to Ymir due to her part in the attack on the Macross Building Yards. She states that they will help her find Bonnie and even have her help stop these pirates, but that her group will be held accountable for the damage that they did to the machines as well as allowing the pirates to steal. Asarar and Kira observe them walk off with Luci and stake out the bar, moving off to meet up with Logan to try to find out more about these pirates and why they're trying to gather all this tech and aim it at who.
Location: Earth
Ren escorts Charlotte to the teleporter to go to the PAX where she'll be safe now that her information is out there, planning to meet her on it later. Cheryl notes that the pirates seem to be working all the angles on all the planets but the PAX so far and Noire and Taiga agree they need to go on the offensive soon, with her planning to go to Asteroid C to gather the tools. She has Noire go get the other Sasha and interrogate her to see what all they can learn about why her reality would aid the 25 and see if there's something more to them. While this is going on, the mystery people who were investigating the Repliforce area reveal themselves to be Warren, Darien, Ariel, and Zephyr as they discuss the reality duplicaes. Darien and Ariel note they plan to go to Cheryl's manor and Zephyr to Stacey's and Warren will follow up on the Repliforce lead, verifying each person and see if they can block Taiga's scan. They also note that someone is using this time to kill V.I personnel from the latest incident under Hodges and McCabe, meaning they might be next, but that it is low on their list of concerns at the time as they head out.
Location: PAX
Charlotte is approached by Venerator who offers to clear her name if she works with him and after a lot of thought, decides to work with his secret organization if only to keep tabs though she doesn't trust the old man.
Session 62: The War of Redefining Reality Part V: Il Piti Dolendo
Location: Asteroid C
Taiga has been staying up since the first incident as she goes over the notes of Noire's interrogation of the other Sasha before taking it to the meeting with everyone. Discovering something that might be worthwhile, she sends Noire and Ren to meet with Myria to pick up a certain item that might help with their next battle with Adeline.
Location: Cheryl's Manor
Everyone has gathered for a meeting on the Reality Pirate situation, either in person or on communications, to discuss the situation and give each other updates, such as Charlotte being MIA, Cole running Repliforce while Cran is believed to be dead, V.I agents getting slaughtered, and more. Darien and Ariel show up, stating they are there to help out, havnig been working with a few others like Zephyr on the case and wanted to lend their strength where they could as Taiga arrives and begins to bring everyone up to speed on what the reality pirates have done so far from the beginning. It is theorized they might have used Kaori's reality pirates to hide their reality signature to hide among them and pose as them, leading to the group to become more suspicious. And she goes over how Reality 37 Sasha was working with them due to the fact the pirates lent them help in their reality after it suffered damage and needing outside help, as long as they did not have to kill anyone themselves, making it appear they helped save 37. Being given a set of coordinates where they were suppose to meet up as Noire and Ren arrive with Myria's object, leading to Adeline to wonder what it could be, they prepare to set out.
Location: Space
The group is split up to look for the Mew Mew in Cheryl's Shuttle, the Aquarius, and Xanatos' Suisen Ship as they try to locate where the meeting coordinates were suppose to be at. As they approach a group of asteroids that appear to be normal, they send the Aquarius in to try to learn more when the enemy base eats it and flies off. The Suisen Ship is the best at keeping up with it as Cheryl tries her best to keep up after it as Chad discovers it has materials from the Unknown Region in it to help stop detection. As the Aquarius is drained and Mireille flops over uselessly, the group inside has to try to plan a raid to try to free themselves while the asteroid leaps into hyperspace. While Kane is trying to locate where they jumped to, he finds interference within Cheryl's shuttle until he begins to try to locate where it came from and it stops, making Ren suspect it could be any of them. They suspect Adeline despite the scans saying it Adeline Prime, so she suggests they tie her up so they feel safer.
As they is is going on, they hear on their comms Stacey going a press conference clearing Charlotte's name suddenly and stating she was working with them undercover during the time of the attack and going over who did do the attack was trying to frame her, providing proof as well as saying the real Charlotte will bring her in. At the same time Taiga's wristwatch alerts her that an attack on Asteroid C is underway, leading to Taiga to warp out using the watch. As they arrive at the asteroid with nothing more to slow hem down and having trouble getting through the astroid's hull, Cheryl grows frustrated and rams it, which leads them to untie Adeline. As they manage to get inside a massive complex of hallways and working their way through the confusing corridors along with Xanatos as he keeps his ship on standby outside since Cheryl has crashed her shuttle, they work their way toward the Aquarius crew and look for the enemy.
The Aquarius crew, meanwhile, breach the hanger after dealing with poison out in there - leaving Celes and Ceilidh behind to guard the ship. Pepper copies Adeline form to open the hanger doors where Ben is shot up and is forced to return to the ship after showing how to drain the poison in the air and Airym finishes downloading the map from the security robots. They come follow the path given to them by the robot and rescue Aimée and Mélodie, but no sign of Bonnie so far. But they also come across Adeline wearing clothing of the enemy Adeline - who states she helped the two escape but couldn't find Bonnie. She seems to be on the up and up when Cheryl's team arrives and both Adelines seem to have a stare off, Jaime realizing this new Adeline is her own due to her not being guarded with her mind scans. The 25th Adeline admits she wanted to get close to them and observe them, going into how her reality Cheryl kept her reality powers and became a power madhouse ruler and wanted to check out Cheryl as she leads them through the base to free the Aquarius.
As she goes into the Cheryl incidents as well as their Cheryl, noting there is some things about her that don't add up, there is a gunshot that surprises everyone, including the 25th Adeline as the 25th Charlotte shoots their Adeline in the head. A fight breaks out as the 25th Adeline retreats and escapes and they begin to fight the evil Charlotte for shooting Adeline in the head and setting off the self-destruct on the asteroid, forcing them to escape. They manage to kill the 25h Charlotte with a combined set of attacks and using the device of Myria's as they rush to get of there and to their ships, taking Adeline with her as well as the Mew Mew. They decide to split up, some of them taking Jaime and the wounded Adeline who is most likely brain dead back to the PAX, while others head for Asteroid C since it is under attack and Taiga has been the only one defending it while they all handle their grief and anger at the news of what has happened. And Yuki learns on the Aquarius that the ship and Mew Mew had all it's data copied while in the Aquarius and transmitted elsewhere.
A figure on Earth tells another figure that their name has been cleared after watching Stacey's address and hearing reports of Charlotte being dead. He notes to the busty figure that they need to prepare to head out to another battleground - either Asteroid C or somewhere else now to help make the difference while dealing with the V.I killer. At the same time, elsewhere, on a PAX like location, the 25th Adeline rages at Charlotte's actions as she is restored by a ressurection machine and comes back to life. Telling her that doing that will have made the Prime Reality hunt them down to the ends of the earth and that they will have to wrap up here with what they want and leave. As the moves to go, she stumbles, looking dizzy.

Location: Geyze
The academy remains flooded with students who wear Sylph/Fae merchandise when the students begin to summon multiple versions of the spirits to hug on them and talk to their idols. As Sasha tries to regain control of the situation, her pyramid is hijacked and it begins to lift up into the air, forcing everyone to break into it with Death's help. The team wonders if Mykel was behind all this since it was his holonet page that brought all the students to Geyze to act as a distraction as they work to try to retake the pyramid. Zayne arrives, dragging Sparkling, both of who were partying for her birthday, while Lana and Chad work on re-taking the pyramid; after they meet up with Rain who meets with them, they start back up for the bridge.
Location: PAX
Lenneth returns after having confirmed Mykel was the real deal and has sent Alita to talk to him; Taiga tells everyone the pirates are after the pyramid, not the PAX.

After some soul searching with Jaime, Lenneth orders Syiean to take the PAX into action as Jaime looks to becoming unhinged.
Location: Space Over Geyze
Due to Lana, the pyramid has been moving erratically when the PAX like ship in space tractors it inside as Darien arrives and comms them, informing them that he, Warren, Zephyr, and Ariel are there to help. As the group worries about Cheryl's bloodthirsty nature lately as the others move to join them inside the PAX like Ship, they find Rain and Sasha laying bloodied on the Pyramid Ship in front of the bridge doors. They are attacked by a frenzied Bonnie as an EarthGov force attaches to the pyramid ship and busts into it, led by an EarthGov forces that are not V.6 and seem to be some sort of black ops team trying to make a name for themselves. The busty chested leader aids them in taking Bonnie down and don't seem to care if they kill their targets; it's revealed the leader is indeed Charlotte, running a group for Venerator. As more ships appear - Mew Mew and the Aquarius in the PAX like Ship, they try to figure out how to bring down the tractor beam as Darien hasn't managed to do so yet, so Yuki leads a group to follow up on it.
Location: PAX
Athena has her idol machine going with Reikana and the others like Kiseki while Syiean gets them out of hyperspace to find the PAX like ship hovering over Geyze. As they commuicate with those inside, Jaime seems confused that there is not a massive fleet waiting for them, but only one smaller ship. Taiga reminds them that her reality detectors never picked up a fleet and that they came through the tree, meaning that they likely assembled or brought that PAX like ship through the tree. Wiith that infomation at hand, they begin to prepare.
Location: Little PAX
The group finds bodies Venerator's people have left behind as they take the lead; Warren and Darien place markers for the bridge and tractor beam on their maps for the others, but Zephyr gives no such update as she hunts for the ressurection machine. As they reach the bridge, they find Adeline standing there and have to protect her from the Venerator black ops as they almost shoot her down. As Charlotte controls her men, she informs them she already plans to leave as it was a final gamble and already has the information she needs from the ships even if she can't physically take them. She tells them she didn't have anything to do with Wind being taken and will use what she has to battle her Cheryl. After seeing her Charlotte is not there, she orders her back before leaving, still refusing to return Kaori's power as she goes, believing that the power is a problem after seeing her Cheryl. At the same time, Yuki, Pepper, Cookie, and the others run into Charlotte 25 at the tractor beam and get into a battle with her.

Cheryl looks outraged they let her go if that was the case since Spade could jump bodies and if Adeline gained that power and Adeline 25 just left the reality, it means Adeline's concsciousness is gone. As they debate how to proceed with a damaged Adeline body, Jaime prepares to ask Avenir to help Cuddles fix it while Adeline 25 arrives at the tree, fighting with herself as she has a nosebleed before she uses it to leave the Prime Reality. Venerator meanwhile studies the data with someone else and begins to plan for the next phase as Mem eyes them and Zephyr meanwhile brings the parts of the broken Ressurection Machine to Cran and Angel who has been hiding out observing how Cole is doing, asking them to repair it.
