"The first operation will be the demolition of seventeen sky towers. Cindelle City currently has the largest source of heat-fixed within the metro area up north. So we'll use detonation to draw out the sacred flame."
Guyjin begins crunching numbers on an abacus.
“Before that, your total cost comes to one million tridals.”
Steffbird stumbled back at the obscene price.
"Bamboo will have a heart attack," Kabuki noted.
“He's not even here. Proceed with the plan!” Abotemous approved.
The deal was set for them.
“Mad Bomber! You’re up!” Guyjin snapped.
Back at Kaida’s office, Ran and the girls arrived safely back on campus.
"Very well, I'll leave you to find the fire," Kaida said. "I'll give you the day off, but don't waste time."
“Thanks! You won’t regret this,” Ran said.
“And if you need any backup, don’t hesitate to call us.”
Ami didn't have much to say as they left for their mission. So instead, she leads Ran and her friends away.
“So the fire is somewhere here?” Ran asked.
Grabbing her hand, she points the party to an amusement park. In a matter of moments, Ami helps herself to some rides. From spinning cups to kart racing, followed by the Ferris swings.
"This is fun, but are you sure it's here?" Ruka asked.
“Uh…maybe it’s somewhere else!”
Moments later, Ami leads them into a karaoke bar. She is seen singing loudly on-screen as Yoko covers her ears.
"Make it stop…."
The scene then cuts to the front of a steak house.
“So the fire is hiding in here?” Miyu asked.
“Yeah! I’m starving!”
Ami indulges in food as the plates stack high, causing her stomach to be bloated. Miyu and the rest could only watch in disbelief.
Hours later, the party finds themselves at Melon Beach. Ran’s wallet was emptied out. A sulky look was only on her face.
"That money was supposed to cover me for the first month. Instead, I'm flatly broke."
Ami pushes Ran to her breaking point as she points to a confection stand like a helpless child.
“Cotton Candy! I want to try some!”
"I'm starting to think you're wasting time intentionally," Ran shouted. "Ami! This is a serious matter. We must find the Sacred Fire before the enemy does."
Tears quickly ran down her cheeks as she turned away like an angry child.
"You're so mean…." Ami sniffles.
She runs off, leaving Ran and the rest speechless.
“No! Ami! I didn’t mean to hurt you. I just…”
A wave of energy immediately rains down, hitting Ami. She fell flat on the sand.
“Ami!”
"That girl is coming with us!" Drasandra laughed. "And I brought the whole army this time to ensure none of you rats can slip away."
Platoons of Magval soldiers surround Ran and the party at the beach.
"This is bad…."
Meanwhile, a large device manufactures androids in the background in an abandoned subway tunnel. Bombs roll down an assembly line.
"Your bombs will be a glorious work of art for our reign of terror. The androids made by Abotemous' machine will guide your bombs to our designated targets." Guyjin explained.
Fat men in business suits lined down the assembly line. They marched down to have a bomb inserted into their bodies.
“Oui! But zid they have to all be zo tubby and pompous?” Mad Bomber questioned.
“Just go with the plan. Our objective is to destroy these seventeen towers on your map. The world must know the true terror of the Guyjin mob.”
“I’ll gladly stake my life on the line. Ready the first wave!”
The army of fat businessmen begins taking their leave. Each one grabs hold of a metal briefcase as they casually exit the abandoned station. They each had an expressionless look as they made their way into the public streets of the Cindelle district.
One fat businessman locked his target on a large ivory building. Within moments an explosion commences taking everyone by surprise. Another explosion immediately goes off in another building stirring chaos in the streets. Back at the office, Kaida receives an urgent call.
“Akane! What’s the matter?”
“The Cindelle district is under fire. Suicide bombers are on the loose."
“Do you have any idea where the attackers are originating from?” Kaida asked.
"Not yet! Our department currently has its hands full. We're evacuating as many as we can." Akane said. "A fourth building just blew up!"
“I’ll send Renku to back you up.”
A chain of explosions sets off, bringing destruction to the city.
At the battle, Ran and her party clashed with Drasandra's army. But, again, waves of Maval soldiers get sent flying as they struggle to break through.
"We can't keep this up forever," Yoko shouted.
"I know, but we must protect Ami at all costs," Ran said. "We need to find an opening."
“Then I’ll just make one!” Miyu said.
Miyu unleashes her Star Breaker, clearing a line of grunts blocking their path.
“Enough playing around. Maxim Sisters, come on out!” Drasandra snapped.
The monstrous sisters crash down on the scene. Ran and her party didn’t hesitate to make a run for it.
“AFTER THEM!!!” Drasandra shouted.
Drasandra's army pursues Ran and company down the Cindelle district. She begins powering the sisters with her gem. Windy quickly caught up to them.
“Ruka! You’re dead meat!” Windy barked.
Windy unleashed a violent storm splitting the party up. Ran cradled Ami in her arms as she hesitated.
“Go on without us!” Miyu shouted. “You must find the Sacred Fire. We’ll catch up later.”
“Let’s play!” Spunky hollered.
Spunky swooped down, knocking Miyu over as the rest engaged in battle.
Magvamax once again experiences endless pain as he lets off a vent of anger. Energy violently erupts from his volcanic lair.
“I… must find who is responsible for this!”
Drasandra meanwhile keeps her eye set on Ran and Ami. She leads her grunts down the city. Gunfire immediately rains down, forcing her to halt.
“Who the hell are you?”
Guyjin steps forward amid the chaos. An army of fat businessmen followed behind him.
“We’re Guyjin! The Guyjin Hit Mob. We’ve been hired to take you out. So it’s time to die, baby!”
He pulls out his pistol to fire, and Drasandra's bullet-fast reflexes make her gush out a wall of lava.
“I don’t have time for this nonsense. My beautiful prize is slipping away.”
Guyjin's android army begins detonating nearby buildings as debris falls over her fleet.
“Argh! Spread out and find Ran at all costs!”
