(Cue Mega Man X6 – Metal Shark Player Stage Recycle Lab)

Meanwhile, a white streamline looking Endlave is skiing across the road.

xxxxx

Anti-Bodies Cockpit

"So there's some kid who can play with me. Alright, I'm game." the pilot controlling this Endlave said.

xxxxx

Back in the scene, the girl's voice of the gray Jumeau that helped Gai's company talks to Tsugumi while moving.

"Say Tsugumi, where's the next target?"

xxxxx

Hologram Hub

Inside a bluish hologram hub, the cat girl, now wearing a dark blue/gray plugsuit, is supervising and scanning each section for the mission.

"Aww Ayase, you're stressing out too much!"

Tsugumi notices a hologram target coming from behind.

"She's seriously at her limits, geez!" Tsugumi said to herself as she pushes the hologram away with her butt and tail.

xxxxx

Just then, Ayase's mind in her Jumeau encounters the streamlined Endlave approaching.

"A new model?" Ayase thought.

The opposing Endlave's pilot thought, "Glad you're here fast!"

The opposing Endlave starts firing at Ayase's Endlave, causing her body to feel the pain from the attack as well. After enough damage, the opposing Endlave brandishes a short sword in attempting to slice his foe, however, Ayase secretly escapes by disconnecting herself in the last second, while the opposing Endlave easily destroys the old Jumeau.

"Hmph, no screams, how boring!" the streamlined Endlave's pilot thought.

Anti-Bodies Cockpit

In the enemy base, Major Guin is having monitor reports from an Intel officer who has brown hair, green hat, and glasses named Rowan.

"Sir, most of the forces have suffered slashes." Rowan reported.

"Are you saying that a mere foot soldier have caused this?" Guin demanded.

"Can't say I'm too sure." Rowan replied.

Guin then kicks a chair out of frustration and curses himself, "Damn it! I can't make a good report out of this!"

"Sir, 2nd lieutenant Daryl Yan has arrived." An Anti-Bodies soldier states to him.

Then, a young arrogant teenager in a gray-white pilot suit and light blond hair comes in, he is actually the one who controlled the streamlined Endlave that briefly fought Ayase.

"Welcome, soldier." Guin greeted Daryl. "It's your father-I mean, General Yan's orders to pilot that Endlave."

"Nah, I did it by myself without any thought." Daryl grinned.

"Well, glad you can stop by to help us." Guin said as he raises his arm for a handshake, however, Daryl has second thoughts.

"Don't think I'm gonna touch you, asshole!" Daryl suddenly lashes out at Guin. "I'm going to do my rules! If you tell on me, my so called 'father' will hear about this."

As Daryl leaves the area, Guin begins to growl by clenching his fist and orders his men, "Everyone expanded the search area! Have every civilian be interrogated for question!"

Funeral Parlor Headquarters/Tsugumi's Location

(Cue Mega Man X6 - Commander Yammark)

Tsugumi and Ayase; who has a reddish-brown hair with a ponytail, a red/black pilot uniform, and she's standing upright; are talking to Gai on the monitor. Besides the girls, there is another mercenary who is a young boy with grayish-green hair (along with a black star-like stripe), pointy ears, and hazel eyes. Like Tsugumi, he is a demon of some sort only that he's a kamaitachi named, Kenji Kido.

"Gai, I lost my Endlave." Ayase reported. "I'm so sorry that it's my entire fault."

"That's too bad." Gai said. "I gave you an order of using that old model, but you have my expectations. Still think I failed as a commander?"

Ayase blushed and cried out, "No! That's not it!" Tsugumi and Kenji are seen snickering behind.

"Just pulling your leg on you." Gai joked. "Glad you made it through."

"Aww, looks like someone has the hots on him." Tsugumi joked.

"No kidding, she's always like this." Kenji added.

"Shut up, guys!" Ayase shouts at her friends.

Roppongi Hills/Tokyo, Japan/October 14th, 2022

Gai is seen turning off his communicator and sees Shu and the unconscious Inori lying down. Then, the pink-haired songtress wakes up.

(Cue Guilty Crown – Void)

"So you wake up." Gai said to the girl.

"Inori!" Shu said.

The girl stands up and questioned, "Gai, have I completed my mission?"

Gai, however, is not pleased, "I'm disappointed in you."

Shu is widened and said, "Hey, don't you think it's harsh? She did her best you know."

"I know that." Gai replied. "But results are everything, and she made a big mistake, making you use the Void Genome."

"Wait, you mean that container I had?!" Shu recalled.

"I was originally going to use it, but you have it inside of you." Gai said as he continued. "There are three of these enhanced prototypes that Sephira Genomics created. This grants the host the Power of the Kings. It analyzes someone to draw that person's hidden power, turning it into variety of objects called, a void."

"What's a void?" Shu asked.

"They're made from a person's heart, such as that long sword you used from Inori called the Singer's Sword. The technology of these Void Genomes can even expose too many realms such as the Digital World and Spirit Realm. That is what's in your hand."

"My right hand..?" Shu said as he looks at the black symbol appearing again.

"Now that you have the power, you can't go back to your former life." Gai makes it clear to Shu. "From now on, you're one of us."

"I what-?!" Shu cried out as Gai suddenly grabs him by the collar. Morning arrives as the sun appears in basking them. The blond leader states his cold words to the innocent boy.

"Remember this, Shu Ouma. You have two choices: either you be an expendable to this hellhole, or adapt and shape your ass."

Gai then throws Shu to the ground. The schoolboy has a lot of thoughts inside his mind, especially seeing Inori thinking as well.

(End theme)

Just then, Gai has gotten a report from someone, "Argo, what's wrong?"

xxxxx

Block 14

(Cue Attack on Titan - Rittai Kidou)

In another location, another mercenary with spiky brown hair and bronze yellow stripes is using his binoculars to see the incident. He report to his boss, "It's getting worse, Gai. There are people in white uniforms going inside the Block 14 underground parking."

"A refugee camp?"

"Yeah." Argo said. "They think its safe, but hundreds are caught quickly. And also-"

From the area where the Anti-Bodies are holding the hostages, Daryl has appeared.

"It's that asshole who took Ayase down, Daryl Yan."

xxxxx

Funeral Parlor Headquarters/Command Center

Now Shu, Inori, and Gai are seen inside the main base. A huge banner of Funeral Parlor's symbol which is a red coffin is seen behind them. Gai then said to himself, "The Kaleidoscope, huh?

The rest of the mercenaries, such as Shibungi, Ayase, Tsugumi, Oogumo, and Kenji appear as well. A young girl named, Kyo, is happily seen with a tablet set. Besides humans, there are also those that are Makai demons and reptilian aliens disguised as humans called The Rajita. A minotaur demon with a black afro and goatee, a Canadian Geese demon, a male humanoid Rajita with traits of a leopard gecko, a female humanoid Rajita, a Struthiomimus Rajita, and a crocodilian Rajita that looks like Leatherhead from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are seen. These natives make the rebel organization pretty diverse.

Shibungi proclaims, "As expected, Gai, this is absurd. Considering the differences to rescue these hostages, I suggested we withdraw."

Gai replied his second-in-command, "Nah, we can't overlook this."

Then the leader of Funeral Parlor turn to announce to his cohorts below, "This is a crucial intervention, we're going to defeat the Anti-Bodies, and rescue the innocent people at the fort. Furthermore, this won't be like any convert mission that we've had so far."

Then, Gai raises his right arm with his fist clench at the end of his speech. "We, the Undertakers, will seize this moment, and make Funeral Parlor's public knowledge known to the world! All the hard work will pay off!"

Nearly all of the diverse crowd cheers and bellowed at Gai's inspiring speech.

"Yay!" Tsugumi cried out. Kyo happily shouts. Ayase and Oogumo smiled. Kenji simply grins.

Block 14

"Alright!" Argo said to himself in his location.

xxxxx

Funeral Parlor Headquarters/Command Center

"This is unexpected, but it's too early for that." Shibungi stated.

Everyone else is cheering Gai's name. Shu is awed of how Gai is respected to his faction. He has everything that Shu doesn't have, yet thinks if he wants to follow him.

Gai then turns to Shu and said, "So Shu, what's your answer?"

Outside Block 14

(Cue Eden of the East OST: 10 Erabareshi mono)

Meanwhile, GHQ and the Anti-Bodies are guarding the place alongside the hostages. However, there is a secret passage that Shu and Inori crawl through the vents. Apparently, Gai order them to do so as a big plan to accomplish this mission.

Inori keeps crawling while Shu is behind her, but the boy blushes as he stares at Inori's panties.

When they keep crawling, Shu notices the men with the white uniforms holding the hostages. Alongside the Anti-Bodies is Daryl.

"Who are these men in white uniforms?" Shu questions Gai.

"A special department that prevents viral disasters called the Anti-Bodies." Gai said in his communicator. "They have the authority to declare someone who's infected, and exterminate them based on their judgment."

Shu and Inori make it outside to a hiding point behind the debris.

"Alright, don't move from there until my next orders."

As Shu and Inori hide, they witness in horror as Daryl and other Anti-Bodies are executing some of the hostages with their guns.

"What the hell-?!" Shu witnessed in shocked.

"This is the enemy in front of you, Shu." Gai said. "GHQ is nothing but showing their true colors. You understand the reality of this world?"

Anti-Bodies Cockpit

(Cue Guilty Crown – Theoi)

Major Guin observes the actions the Anti-Bodies brought.

"Keep killing them all until Funeral Parlor shows their scrawny faces!"

xxxxx

Funeral Parlor Headquarters/Command Center

"They're all in their position, Gai." Shibungi stated. "The last part of this mission lies in that boy's actions."

"Gai!" both Tsugumi and Kenji cried out.

Gai then makes the decision and ordered, "LAUNCH THE OPERATION!"

xxxxx

Outside Block 14

Oogumo announce, "Time to launch the missiles."

Two barrels of missiles then fire up to the sky.

xxxxx

Meanwhile with Shu and Inori's location, both are waiting for Gai's signal.

"The mission has started." Shu said to himself. Then Inori touches Shu's hand.

"Are you okay with this, Shu?"

Shu turns towards Inori, "Is this really all his idea?"

"Yes." Inori nodded.

xxxxx

Daryl notices the missiles in the sky and smirks.

"Here it comes!"

xxxxx

Anti-Bodies Cockpit

"Missiles are approaching!" Guin ordered his men. "The undertakers are coming, get ready to battle!"

xxxxx

GHQ's Laser Cannons appear and shoot down the missiles.

xxxxx

Gai and Shibungi have taken notice at this.

"That weapon is merely an obstacle." Shibungi stated to his boss.

"Argo!" Gai ordered in his communicator.

xxxxx

Argo is seen driving a military jeep in distracting Daryl's Endlave, which is called the Steiner, and other Endlave Gautiers. Apparently, all of these robots are remotely controlled by Daryl and other Anti-Bodies in Block 14.

"You're the decoy, try to keep these Endlaves from the enemy troops." Gai said. "Remember to keep a distance from them."

"I've been waiting for this!" Argo cried out. "Bring it on, Daryl!"

xxxxx

"Oogumo, your squad is ready!"

The large man is seen holding a GHQ guard around his neck. "Yes, sir."

xxxxx

"The suppressions are all set!" Kenji gives the communication, "All those Endlaves need 7 more to reach the predetermined distance."

xxxxx

Hologram Hub

Tsugumi has her hands full in helping her team.

"Ayase, are you ready?!" the nekomata called to her friend.

xxxxx

Ayase is seen inside a cockpit that formerly remote controlled her old Endlave, but she's doing it for Tsugumi's plan, "Leave it to me!"

xxxxx

Under Tsugumi's actions, a sudden swarm of camera-pods with insect traits just appear in parachutes.

xxxxx

In Argo's location, the Steiner continues his pursuit on him.

"Bring it!" Daryl's voice is heard inside the mech as it tries to leap above the jeep in attempt to fire, "I'm going to fucking smash you!"

xxxxx

Hologram Hub

"The target has reached Line D!" Tsugumi cried out.

xxxxx

"Ready when you are!" Kenji said.

xxxxx

"Now!" Gai ordered.

xxxxx

Tsugumi's camera-pods flash many red lights at Guin's cockpit and Daryl's Endlave.

"What the hell?!" Daryl voice cried out as his Steiner as and the other Endlaves become malfunctioned due to the lights.

Elsewhere, this cause Daryl's mind to go unconscious.

xxxxx

Anti-Bodies Cockpit

"We're locked down?!" Guin growled.

Suddenly, Funeral Parlor announces something on the monitor by Shibungi's voice, "An announcement for the Anti-Bodies, we're the Undertakers, release the hostages and surrender at once."

"Like hell we would." Guin sneered. "We will never surrender to you terrorists!"

(End theme)

xxxxx

Outside Block 14

Guin went outside and bellows, "Where's your boss?!"

"I'm the one in charge!" Gai's voice is heard in getting his attention. Footsteps are heard.

The remaining Gautiers that are not affect by Tsugumi's camera pods, GHQ and Anti-Bodies all raise their weapons at the source.

xxxxx

Shu is still hiding as he hears Gai coming to action.

xxxxx

Oogumo and his squad raise their weapons at once.

xxxxx

(Cue Guilty Crown – Basileus)

Gai then reaches the top of a building, coming face to face with Guin below. This is one brave man facing a group of oppositions.

"Undertakers, Funeral Parlor, what else is new for a nickname!" Guin insulted.

"The world offers a choice to live or die." Gai said with determination. "This is called survival of the fittest. Mankind has the opportunity to adapt and change. We'll always offer funeral songs for those who selected out, as well in tribute the superheroes that left this world ten years ago."

"I could care less for your speech." Guin said. "Now tell us where's the secret weapon your hiding?!"

"Sorry. This is the first time hearing about it."

Then, GHQ brings out laser cannons above to target at the leader of Funeral Parlor.

"You have 10 seconds, or else your good as dead!" Guin bellowed.

Gai simply smirks at the death threat.

xxxxx

As Shu watches, he hesitantly said, "All of these people will die if I screw up."

However, Inori grabs Shu's hands and place it on her chest as it glows, "Believe me Shu, you can do it, because I belong to you now."

Shu begins to know what he must do and take action.

xxxxx

"10! 9! 8!" Guin fiercely count with the remote to fire.

Shu rushes with the Singer's Sword to the location where Daryl is, and then he cuts it through.

"7! 6!"

Daryl then wakes up to see Shu grabbing his chest. The blond haired man screams in pain as Shu gets his void, the Kaleidoscope. Daryl then falls unconscious.

"5! 4! 3!"

Shu rushes with the Kaleidoscope at hand to reaches Gai's location. Once there, he aims it at the laser cannons.

"2! 1! TIMES UP!"

Guin presses the remote that hundreds of lasers all fire at the confident Gai. As they are about to kill him, Shu uses Daryl's void in creating a barrier that reflects all the lasers.

"WHAT?!" Guin cried out in shocked.

This cause the lasers to destroy GHQ and the Anti-Bodies' forces such as their Endlaves, the lasers then reaches a terrified Guin as they evaporate him. The explosions are cleared to signify that the enemy is defeated.

(End theme)

xxxxx

In the aftermath of the mission, Funeral Parlor is seen cleaning up the mess. Daryl and the remaining GHQ forces have escape, in which Ayase has found the Steiner in putting to good use. Shu is then seen watching the blue skies.

(Cue Madoka Magica Portable OST - Spes -Materia Madocae-)

"Well done, Shu." Gai's voice called him, in which Shu turns to see him. "You've reach beyond your limits. Take a look around."

Both of them see the civilians are freed thanks to the school boy's actions.

"These are the people you saved." Gai said. "In fact, our new supporters have good expectations to see you."

"Wait." Shu questioned. "Who are they?"

"We're so happy to meet you, Shu!" a girl's voice is heard.

Shu and Gai then see five magical girls appearing. They are the same ones that witness yesterday's events: Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki, Homura Akemi, Mami Tomoe, and Kyoko Sakura.

"Whoa!" Shu is somehow surprised. "You have magical girls, Gai? They remind me of the former Sailor Senshi."

The pink-haired girl introduces herself.

"My name is Madoka Kaname! Please to meet you!" she smiled amicably.

Gai then added, "Apparently, these beings came from another dimension across the Aether Sea. The holy quintets have been recently summoned by the great goddess that rules the cosmos, in which they secretly guide our progress. Now that you're here, it seems they decide to be more active. Who knows, you might try using their voids."

"Well." Shu chuckled sheepishly. "I just did what you told me to do so."

The blond-haired leader raises his right arm with a firm smile. Behind him are Funeral Parlor and the Puellas: The left side shows Madoka, Homura, Mami, Shibungi, Argo, and Oogumo. The right side shows Inori, Sayaka, Kyoko, Ayase, Tsugumi, and Kenji.

"Join us, Shu." Gai offered. "You have potential waiting for you."

After a brief hesitation, the student knows that he wants to be a hero his own second chance. Shu eventually smiles and shakes Gai's hand, accepting his offer to join Funeral Parlor.

"So, where can I start?"

In a mysterious area, the recent events are being watched by two sinister figures.

One is a young boy with platinum blond messy hair, blue eyes, a long white collared coat, black shirt and pants.

The other looks like Madoka Kaname, except with an evil presence that she wears a black dress and long pale pink hair with pigtails.

"Well what do you know?" The boy stated. "He has the Power of the Kings."

"Tehehe. This looks so interesting." The 'dark' Madoka proclaimed.

The boy then added. "He will surely help my plans for the Adam and Eve."

Tennouzu High School/Class 2-A/October 14th, 2022

(Cue Kore wa Zombie Desu OST Soundtrack - Aikawa Ayumu desu)

Hours after Shu's involvement with Funeral Parlor and the magical girls, comes another beautiful day at school. Shu is seen sitting in his desk with thoughts inside his mind.

"I wonder, now that I join them, what's the next step in becoming a hero?"

Just then, the teacher gives an announcement, "Students, we have a new transfer in our class."

The students and Shu are intrigued at this.

"Please come in."

The 'transfer student' goes inside the class, revealing to be Inori Yuzuriha! She's now wearing a Tennouzu student uniform.

"Everyone, this is Yuzuriha Inori."

The students are surprise to see the famous singer around. Shu's reaction is quite shocking of seeing her and stands up saying, "No way, I seriously did not see it coming!"

Inori then replied, "Of course not, why wouldn't?"
