Timeline: 10-643.1.6

Session 44: The Haunted West

Location: North American West
Ren takes the group out west, all of them dressed up, to go after various ghost hunts, starting with the last one they tried to solve - the ghost train. Hess sets herself up and manages to suplex it after they do some materials to make it more solid for her to do so. They retrieve the box from the train and move back to the carriage while Zayne complains that this was suppose to be a vacation, having Sunny with her. They arrive at what is believed to be the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine where Ren talks about the legend of taking gold from the mine will result in the ghost of the Dutchman coming after you; meanwhile the group seems displeased at their vacation taking place at a mine, despite Ren promising something good at the end. After all their bemoaning, Ren goes into the mine with Si to retrieve some gold while the others wait in the carriage; soon they smell sulfer passing them by as it goes into the mine as well as footsteps. Soon screams can be heard in the mine as Taiga examines the ground and finds dogprints on it, leading Noire to believe they might have a hellhound on their case.

Ren foxholes back to the others as an invisible being begins to drag her back through until Hess bunches it, making it let her go. As they take their gold and flee, Taiga driving the carriage away from the mine as the hellhounds try to attack them along the drive, they soon arrive at an abandoned western town when the carriage breaks down. However it turns out to be haunted by ghosts according to the maps, hence why the western town has been left alone all these centuries. Soon the spirits and hellhounds break out into a fight allowing the group to repair the carriage and flee to a proper town that Ren directs them to where she says she planned for them to go for their vacation. They arrive at the hotel she had them booked at where they learn it's haunted by the ghost of the owner who makes sure his earthly employees are still working and checking on his guests, much to the chargin of the group. They all just go to the rooms for a hot shower and accept it for now.

Date: 10-643.1.7
Location: The City
As Ren tries to find something to appease the group in the city, they pass the police talking to a mother describing a crying woman at the river where her children were before vanishing in thin air. As they try to ignore it, Ren notes there should be no other ghosts in the city outside the manager one as they arrive at an arcade and she uses one of the gold coins from the Lost Dutchman's mine. She suddenly falls over and they discover Ren has a gunshot wound in her gut with no signs of when or how it happened. They chide her for using the gold as she pulls herself up and her dragoon healing begins to kick in, so she retrieves the gold. Taiga decides to check on the box in the carriage while the group decides on where to send the cursed gold and which branch of the authorities to give it over to when Taiga is grabbed by the crying woman from the nearby river and yanked into it. Believing her to be a child due to her small frame, it begins to drown her until Si reminds her to switch her breathing protocols while the others attack and disperse her, allowing her to rise up coughing. Hess notes that was La Llarona while Noire forces the box open and inside is relic which pulses with evil. They place a ton of ofudas on top of it to seal the evil for the time being and head home where X is pleased upon hearing about Hess' wrestling technique. And Jubei reveals she has moved into Noire's house to protect her full time.

Session 45: Dawn of the Damned

Location: PAX
Taiga has called the club together in her lab while Ren sits off in the corner, almost sulky, as she fiddles with a modified version of what looks like some sort of rifle with other rifles and a pistol on the table. She informs the group that they have a request from Chad to find Dawn or his body as she scans their brainwaves. Chad himself comes in and explains he wants to find closure for his family after Dawn was sucked into the portal to the lower plane of existence. Tsukiyomi joins the team to help with her powers and Kaori with her reality powers, but before they go Fate warns them not to go, telling the group they are not ready to go down there yet. The Adult Fate seems to note not even Dias, with all his training lately, would be ready to face what is down there, but the group pushes on anyway. She warns them to becareful of what is down there and to not go too far down, as each layer will become worse and that it could be different each time one goes down due to each layer having it's own multiverse. Using the rifle and Tsukiyomi's power, the group opens a portal and sets out.

Location: Lower Plane of Existence - Layer 1
The first layer they arrive in Mega City like city with a sky that has a reddish tint, but breathable air; the streets look empty, with vehicles broken down on the side of the road and the sun looks more reddish and larger. It leads Taiga's datapad battery to drain rapidly and the group wonders if this sun is entering the Giant phase. As they keep traveling they spot people spying on them from the empty buildings and soon "people" begin to rush the group, but they look more like dried up husks than living people. They beings try to drain the fluids from the group by biting them with thier mouths, forcing the team to fight them off as Tsukiyomi notes there's no trace of Dawn there. Due to her gun being out of power due to the sun, Taiga uses a reality spark to get it working as she and Tsukiyomi get the portal, but they all rush Taiga due to sensing that spark; Jaime keeps them off of her barely in time allowing the group to continue lower.

Location: Lower Plane of Existence - Layer 2
The group arrives in a bustling city which allows Taiga's equipment to recharge as they explore Neo Aringoha, a Mega City like city that has high tech video games. The people of this layer look blissfully happy as they walk around and lean on each other and Tsukiyomi notes it feels like this place is devouring them. Ren finds a rare spirits occult book that she was looking for but before she could open it, Charlotte tells her she doesn't have time to read it, so she puts it in her bag. While this goes on Jaime goes on about the Greek Underworld and Gods. As they find no traces of Dawn, they head lower.

Location: Lower Plane of Existence - Layer 3
After a car almost hits Noire in the small 1950's American town they appear in and they find the citizens killing each other, including the children, and they try to kill the group. Defending themselves with lethal force and trying to avoid everyone as Ren gets stabbed from behind by a kid until Noire uses her dark matter attack to get rid of everyone. As the sun sets everythhing resets and everyone's wounds end and the dead restore, everyone heading to their beds. Tsukiyomi wonders what is up and uses her moon powers to speed up the night to end and when the day begins the citizens wake and are all friendly as if nothing has happened, leading to Charlotte thinking she gets what is going on: everyone starts off perfectly 'normal' and gradually grow more annoyed until they lose it and start murdering everyone. Tsukiyomi concurs and believes if they remain here any longer they could become part of this place, so they head deeper with Noire noting the nine levels of hell according to Dante Alighieri, which Ren notes is Dawn's last name.

Location: Lower Plane of Existence - Layer 4
This plane of existence is without form, dark and empty, as they see ghosts and spirits all around them. Tsukiyomi lights up the place and they seem to be on a dead planet and the stars are barely visible in the sky. She notes her blessing is the only thing keeping the group alive right now as the creatures and spirits attack them as they scan for Dawn. As massive one also attacks, shaking the ground, and it begins to attack them along with littles one. Taiga uses her portal gun so they can escape and they all rush as Tsukiyomi's shield keeps the creature back and Charlotte uses Dark Hands to give it a punch back, giving them all time to escape, but despite having been knocked flat it reaches for Tsukiyomi and grabs her so she cannot escape with them.

Location: Lower Plane of Existence - Layer 5
They arrive in what appears to be classic hell and Taiga lacks clothing but a bra due to the spirit and monster attacks begins to scan the area with her datapad, detecting Dawn somewhere in here. Kaelan demands to go back for Tsukiyomi but Taiga informs her even if they tried to go back, they'd have to go back down to try to find her and hope they followed the same path due to the branching multiverse, even with them leaving Idlets in the first 3 layers. Some large demonic beings land in front of the team as they near where Dawn was detected and judge Kaori, but she uses her reality powers to trick them. As they move onto Noire, they judge her to be bad and move to drag her toward the molten lava, when leads to a fight with everyone and the demons. As they fight Kaaori checks the spot and finds Dawn's bones polished like marble with cursed items stuffed in the eye sockets.

As the two demons are defeated and everyone unites, they find the cursed items are cursing Dawn's family when the Demon Lord appears before them and Jaime tries to threaten him. As he goes to take her soul, she brings out Truth and attacks him, leaving him unimpressed. Taiga and Charlotte remove the cursed items from Dawn's bones while Jaime and the Demon Lord are engaged; draining the life from everyone when he notices the cursed items removed and Dawn's soul rising up to the upper realms of exisence. Suddenly though something scares the Demon Lord and he vanishes from the room when suddenly there is a pain in all their heads which is something similiar that has happened to Noire before, as if something is crawling in there and whispering along with images of darkness, worse than the Dark Ones. The team hears a voice telling them that they are so close and indicates surprise at them coming this close. Taiga forms her portal when that something crushes it from the depths and a darkness begins to form when moonlight shiens in and Tsukiyomi appears in front of them, warning them not to look as a new portal is forced open to a lower layer where staleness can be felt with something broken lies. The group begins to cover their eyes as Taiga tells Kaori to use her reality powers to get them out of there as Ren begins to try to peer, but Charlotte pulls her into her breasts to hide her face. A tall being, almost Dark One, emerges from the portal, but it's appearance beginst to change as Kaori uses her powers with her eyes closed and they barely escape the thing reaching for them and the whispers in their heads.

Location: Normal Plane of Existence - Layer 0
The group manages to return to the PAX and finds Fate waiting for them as she chides how close they came to the end. She calls it the end of many things and makes them promise not to go back down there until she says it is time. Taiga goes to take Dawn's remains to Chad while some of them decide to find things to take their mind off of what they just witnessed. Tsukiyomi prepares to return to the moon to recharge, indicating it took her a while to find the group again. Ren opens her book that she got when she slumps over in a state of bliss. Even Charlotte reading it to her makes her slump, but Charlotte reading it herself does nothing to her, making Ren flail. Ren also decides to start carrying Akatsuki around in her tails.

Fumoffu Groundhog Day Special: Grounded Into Pieces

Location: Tokyo
Ren takes the club out shopping to make up the wild west adventure as everyone checks out the various shops. As they walk and talk, Ren recalling she has sub-space and pulls out a ton of food she stored years ago and dumping it on the ground, they soon run into Kitty who is exitting her own store. They all decide to travel together and go to the eletronics store for Taiga across the street; along the way Taiga explains she is gathering materials for her Strikers program, so she is using this shopping trip to gather stuff to help with building stuff. Charlotte and Taiga bond over eletronics as they begin to cross the street when a driver hits Kitty, slamming her into a nother car and yet another, killing her on the spot. They teleport her up to the PAX and she is carted off by Cuddles while Taiga looks shocked.

Location: Tokyo
The group is shopping - the day seemingly repeating itself once again - with none of them remembering it except Si, who is freaked out. As they go over the rare anime stuff once again and repeat the same conversation, Si claims this has all happened before to them. Ren proclaims Si is trying to make this a ghost thing and get her into trouble and rushes out the store while Si begins to say that Kitty is here and something bad will happen to her when a commotion occurrs outside; as they all step outside, Ren has run into Kitty before she has made it into her store. Due to Si's insistence, Ren is annoyed at the day being reuined and opens a foxhole and skips the street entirely to get to the eletronics store. After doing their shopping and Taiga buying what she needs with Charlotte, they spot the truck Si was talking about being safe across the street and maybe partially believe her as they move onto talking about Andrea running Japan now. Having Kitty walk in the back of the group while they discuss it, they prepare to go to their next location when a rope snaps in the air and a car announcing its sale has crushed Kitty, having come all the way from across the street from a trailer. Jaime calls PAX for medical help and everyone seems to be in a daze once again.

Location: Toyko
The group once again is shopping in Tokyo as Taiga, Si, Charlotte, Kaelan, and Noire remember the incident from before, leaving Jaime and Ren in the dark as Taiga flees from the store to find Kitty. As they all follow after Taiga they find her tackling Kitty in a pet store buying a toy for Thatcher. As Kitty is lifted up by Taiga, everyone begins to babble about the road being evil and killing Kitty twice, leaving Kitty, Ren, and Jaime baffled until Ren claps her hands, looking sour at the day being ruined and notes if the road is so evil, lets just go out to eat which earns a look from Jaime. The group decides to go up to Katrina's where they make sure Kitty eats only safe things and they wonder what could have caused this to happen to Kitty while they all eat. At that moment the light fixture falls and caves in Kitty's head and CHIP gives a late detection warning as Si bangs her head and Taiga stares in horror. Jaime reports the body to medical.

Location: Tokyo
Taiga has taken Kitty into custody as they wonder where to take her. They take her to Udon offices where there's tons of things that might kill her while they try to figure out what to do to prevent her death. Shion arrives and notes that her dying on this day almost sounds like she has a Trickster problem. Shion goes to get a book on the matter, using a stool to try to reach it and an Angel statue with a pointed wing wobbles, leading to Jaime to use TK to help her with it. However, somehow Kitty still ends up with the wing through her chest a moment later as Taiga pulls hair out of her head and everyone wonders how that's possible. Jaime calls medical.

Location: Tokyo
Taiga keeps Kitty smooshed against her chest, where she can barely breathe, as the group wonders what to do about the Trickster and the group agrees to get her to Shion until they remember to allow Kitty to breathe who states Tricksters can materialize anything. Kitty asks if anything could have set this off and Ren notes she promised this trip was going to be an ordinary trip with nothing out of the ordinary, which leads Kitty wondering what she is being targetted then. They decide to do the day as normal and have Kitty go up the Kitsune Udon possession chamber. They cross the street, shop at the eletronics store, eat at Katrina's, and then return to Kitsune Udon and meet with Shion where the Angel Statue just wobbles but is perfectly fine. As they sit in the office with everyone, including Kitty, they try to figure out why a Trickster might have begun this and why Kitty when Kaelan begins to get all commando on Ren about stopping supernatural cases with the club and who she spoke with it about Noire after the Wild West case went bad.

They reach midnight with Kitty alive and Taiga hugs her tightly while Charlotte and Kaelan get into it about her threatening Ren with tendrils, leading to the two to get into a cursing match with Kaelan. Taiga notes that she believes Jaime called for medical each time something happened as they try to figure out what happened and Si notes Taiga was brought to medical the first time as well. While Taiga muses on the fact it feels like the days were cut off after medical, Shion takes a hair from Kitty to try to locate the Trickster, then takes one from everyone else. While this is going on, Jaime begins to accuse Ren of acting strange as well by "changing the day" and that she doesn't curse, leading to Ren to accuse Jaime. She puts a fox charm on Ren's head so she puts her duplicate out to glow with reality and slam her against the wall and reabsorb the duplicate. She leaves with Charlotte.

Taiga asks if she can leave with Kitty to medical when Noire stops her and asks Shion to test Kitty, who turns out to be the real deal. Ren notes to Charlotte she plans to step away from the club for a bit while the two lurk about in the hallway, noting she hasn't been enjoying the club for a bit after the last bit of incidents and will focus on her duties and Akatsuki. Shion clears Noire and Kaelan but runs out of testing abilities as Ren an Charlotte arrive in their room and find Taiga tied up. Charlotte goes to warn the others but the fake Taiga who has taken Kitty to medical ....

Location: Tokyo
While Taiga looks confused, Ren pulls out her gun and shoots her in the back without warning in the store, even unloading the clip, leading to Si to scream. The Trickster realizes it's game is up when Kitty arrives and people seem to be on it so it snaps it's fingers and the real Taiga slams on the pavement, having been replaced in one of the time loops. Kitty ends up rippling it in half into the road where it's hit by a car and Kaelan pianos it. The group plans to do a spa day.

Location: PAX
Later after the incident, Ren eats her food in huffy bites with Charlotte, still upset over how things went down with everything. Kaelan soon shows up and makes up with her and Charlotte with both sides explaining with how they were coming from. They eventually also speak with Jaime and both sides agree to make up and have a birthday party for Akatsuki with all their children.

Session 46: Five Nights at PAX's

Location: PAX
Taiga has taken over the Fumoffu club once more as Ren has left and while they discuss the entire Ren/Kitty fallout from the Groundhog Special, the group is also dealing with Jaime being depressed due to Gnome's death. As she leads them down to the lower levels of the PAX, the Down Below sector, Taiga shows them a man stuffed into faux suit made of trash made to look like a robotic suit with Hess' name written in blood on the wall. Due to how Down Below is designed the cameras cannot monitor everything down here for people who choose to lurk without jobs or lose them, but refuse to leave the PAX. They begin to deal with something down there that is hunting them and trying to block them down there from leaving, despite their many abilities, so Taiga uses a control room that allows her to access the few cameras to try to track it as well as the ventalization system. Adeline even joins them to try to help flush what ever it is down there. Eventually they begin to do battle with one of the animatronics that Taiga ordered to destroy themselves at Hess' request, broken and mangled, but Noire manages to destroy it even as it sings the birthday song.

Session 47: The Haunted Caribbean

Location: Ship
The Fumoffu club has taken a ship along the ocean to pick up ore and other materials from the ocean floor with Thena being the captain of the voyage. While they work a storm soon approaches so Taiga applies tarps over the ship to help protect those aboard and they look for a bay to take shelter while they go down below; once below someone collides with Taiga, who turns out to be Hess who turns out to have been told to wait down there by Taiga hours ago. Kaori, who has been sea sick, reunites with Hess, and the two chide Taiga while the storm rages around them and wails can be heard outside. The group peers outside and sees a ship sailing in the storm along with the wailing and while Hess investigates the wailing on the side - finding creatures on the rocks "singing" that seems to be affecting Taiga, out in the ocean is a ghost ship.

They tie Taiga up so she cannot be called out to the sirens while Thena goes over to the other ship to explore it while they deal with the sirens. She gets turned into a half ghost as they decide to get out of there and Thena is left as a sad cat ghost as they escape to save Taiga from being dragged to sea by the sirens. After they make some distance, Taiga frees herself and calls in Ren to help after getting her ore and getting off the ship. Ren uses what kitsune odon supplies she brought over to help go back to the ghost ship and they do battle with the ghost captain to free Thena. AFter they insult him enough, he flees sadly and Thena is freed from her curse.

Session 48: The Mindlessness of School

Location: Noire's Apartment
The team is watching movies for their club activity when Ren shows up to do one last supernatural club mission with Charlotte and draws in all the club members to return to the school with the strange shrine hidden under it. The group decides to get help from Cedarton at the suggestion of Jaime due to his knowledge of monsters and being a teacher himself and Taiga notes he's no longer on Monster World. They take a pit stop at a Tokyo village school to look for him and find him being the principal of the school and after being taken in to meet with him. They manage to convince him to help after telling him the school is breaking rules by being evil and he agrees to come along as night sets and they step into the building with Adeline using comms to monitor them outside. Noire, Si, Taiga, Ren, Charlotte, and Jaime investigate the school with Cedarton and find the night guards are seemingly possessed, which Noire deals with her tendrils and Si restrains.

After a 13th stair trips Charlotte despite there only being 12, they find the bathroom wall has been sealed so they cannot use that to get to the shrine and move to the roof to investigate a noise, finding a pool up there. There they find ghosts in the pool and move around the edge of the pool to avoid them to the other side of the school and down it to the basement. As they enter the area with the older school and shrine, they find the malice leaking out and Noire absorbs the malice and is changed, attacking the group, leading to Cedarton having to use his ruler to break it while Ren and Charlotte look for the source of the malice which is a mummified monk with cursed objects on him. Adeline and Jaime arrive on site from their investigate and Jaime hyperspaces the objects as the monk begins to attack, destroying them as the school and caves begin to break apart; Ren and Charlotte turn into a gear and carry everyone out of the school that is breaking apart, only to find the school is perfectly fine outside, showing it was all in a pocket dimension. The group returns to their movie night while in the basement, one of the night guards finds a ghost clown that kills him.

Session 49: Another Fumoffu!

Location: A Massive Amusement Park
The group is at the amusement for Ren's birthday at a gator themed park. While Taiga mumbles about height issues on the Gator Coaster, a rabbit in overalls starts waving at Ren and approaches with a bloody smile, freaking Ren out. As it arrives it does confetti with a loud pop and sends Ren up a pole in fright before Miyuki reveals herself, which leads Taiga, Yuki, Charlotte, Si, Noire, Ren, Miyuki over to Cheryl who has set up a table in the park with Angela and Shion delivering food. While she admires Akatsuki in Ren's tail bringing back memories of a baby Shion in Miyuki's tail, the family enjoys each other's company. While they are talking Yuki and Noire go off to investigate a commotion and she returns informing them about an emergency about giant gators terrorizing the park. They go to check it out but there are no signs of them or Noire, but Si soon finds Noire tied up on the Gator Coaster. They rescue her and find out she was jumped by a Gator Mascot.

They decide to head to the water park while investigating the case and relax while floating about in the water. Suddenly a commotion causes Miyuki and Shion to sink into the water and vanish, leading the group to investigate the gator head that is spitting out water after Charlotte battles an undead gator mascot who retreats into it. They follow the mascot and find an area with explosives and signs of it being a scheme to scare the customers away and then destroy it with a ghost story. Noire catches the mascot who turns out to be Chad Winters - I mean Juan, who apologizes and notes the place is a money pit, but offers them free comps to stay and they all end up relaxing in the park.

TAW Session 563: The Multiversity Part 1

Location: PAX

 

Timeline: 10-643.6.20

Session 50: The Multiversity Part 2

Location: Asteroid C
Taiga takes notes after Marcus and some others have returned to the PAX after finishing the mission to the Alternate universe with their gathered materials and intel. After questioning if she should bring in a spirit expert like Ellie or Vyvy, she goes into the next reality forming after the battle with the Dead Spirit - dubbing it Reality 63 - and that her hope is that the group might learn something from it for their spirits to help Geyze. While Adeline muses over the fact that there are only 63 branching realities from their reality, Taiga informs the group that there are some other realities like the Oddverses where realites have formed that do not make much sense compared to their own and the realities might feature strange versions of themselves or not at all. Vyvy arrives and after a confrontation with Jaime where the two argue about Vyvy keeping the spirit children with her at the grotto training instead of out and about answering the calls of the people. After sorting everything out, Alouette places a camera on Noire's breasts and Taiga gives everyone wristbands to call them back if needed.

Location: Reality 63
Ren, Charlotte, Vyvy, Jaime, Adeline, Chelsea, and Noire arrive at a broken Academy that looks decayed from Death's attack and the ground dead looking as the students work to repair the damage. They try to feel out the spirits but neither Jaime nor Vyvy feel much of anything except Terra by Jaime, though they spot Aimée and Mélodie playing kick ball with Sparkling - using Sparkling as the kickball. Vyvy has Chelsea feel out the elemental energy of Geyze and finds it has been depleted greatly and when they go to Lumi's office, they find Sylph with a damaged wing wearing a Peacekeeping uniform in charge. Charlotte asks her what happened to the school and they learn that instead of Death hitting the spirits with it's attack, it struck the planet that battle, leading to Geyze slowly dying along with the spirits, Chelsea noting that this world will soon look like Kumen.

As they talk, Taiga can be heard cursing on the wristwatch and a portal opens up to Asteroid C; as they take it back they find the place a mess and Taiga and Kaori missing. Alouette struggles to her feet and helps rescue Angela from the trash, informing them people from Reality 23 - no doubt the other Angela and Charlotte from Reality 25 - stopped by and took for questioning. While they prepare to chase after them, Charlotte ponders if their trip to lower levels of reality (Fumoffu 46) where they ran into a death spirit had anything to do with the return of the Death Spirit, recalling Fate's warning. The group agrees they can't be sure of anything at this point and that it is moot, so they head through the reality portal after foxnappers.

Location: Reality 23
They arrive at a techno like Earth that seems almost like Kumen, making the group think it's an Oddverse for a moment with the noir like vibes and everyone plugged into the holonet. Si picks up Taiga on a flying vehicle in the air amongst the tall buildings so the group uses an elevator to ride up where they are greeted by an advertisement of a sexy Chelsea floating in the air; Jaime taps the ad since it is advertising Asarar's team and it reads her handprint, using the funds of that reality's Jaime to make a sexily clad Chelsa and Asarar in a trench coat appear in the elevator. Asarar has Chelsea pilot the group after the enemy's aircraft while Adeline discovers that the PAX is on Earth in this reality and brings up an image of it becoming like a massive building with stuff built on it's side, becoming part of the landscape.

As they catch up, the engage in an air battle with the other aircraft and they retrieve Taiga and Kaori before taking down the other craft. Taiga explains the enemy from Reality 25 came over from this reality to question Taiga by bringing her over to this world to find out what this reality's goals were with their reality hopping. They decide to stop them from taking this reality's PAX as Taiga gears each of them up with Striker equipment. As they head to the bridge of the Progenitor ships that are trying to attach to the PAX of this reality, Charlotte faces off with 25's Charlotte as she states that the Progenitor ship has been locked out, even to Progenitors like Jaime. They break into the ship and work their way to the aux bridge where Jaime's hyperspace is registered before they reach the other Charlotte. After a battle and some moves, it is clear the PAX is their's with Kaori's help though she does not seem to mind and the other Adeline retrieves Charlotte after 25's Charlotte kisses their Charlotte. After Adeline has Jaime fire into the portal to try to hit her otherself, it closes down and Charlotte is checked out for what the other Charlotte might have done to her, Taiga notes that it is only a matter of time before someone like those two try to go for their world. The group leaves 23's Asarar and Chelsea who makes out.

Location: Asteroid C
Taiga announces her plan to begin the Striker operations and begin to explore the Realities, hoping to start an offical team down the road but for now starting with small groups who do missions. She asks the people here to think about joining the Strikers that she is forming. Vyvy heads back to Geyze with Chelsea and notes she will release her children back to the Academy to begin attending school again wihile Chelsea learns from Bonnie that Asarar is planning to talk to her about some ad. Cuddles on the PAX confirms that the other Charlotte tried to hypnotize Charlotte and to keep an eye on her while Erevis tells Jaime to keep an eye on Taiga's Reality Strikers.
