Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Sora: Hey, everyone! The show's about to start! Just make sure your room is brightly lit, and that you're not sitting too close to the monitor.



Narrator: In New York City's fight against crime, the dedicated detectives who pursue the most vicious criminals are members of an elite unit known as ACME Crime Net.

[132 Madison Street, Tuesday, July 10th, 8:44am]

[Anna sweeps the floor as Mia consults with Layla]

Layla: So we're still on for practice, right?

Mia: Mm-hmm.

Layla: I'll see you on the holodeck on board the MagnaShip at 10:00.

Mia: Okay. See ya then.

[Layla exits as Mia opens her laptop and inspects the lab's systems; Anna drops her broom, grabs a sponge, and cleans the dining table]

Anna: Mia, could you take your laptop off the table for a moment so I can clean it?

Mia: [takes her laptop off the table and puts it on her lap] Sure, no problem. [hands Anna an empty McDonald's bag] Oh, and throw this out for me, too.

[Anna scoffs and finishes cleaning the table]

Mia: I heard that scoff, Anna. What's with you? [wipes crumbs off the table]

Anna: Hey, cut that out! I just swept that floor.

Mia: So it can never get dirty again? Look, the Chipmunks and the Chipettes have had their share, too. And we agreed to do chores around here in exchange for them letting us stay here. Listen. First we clean, then what we cleaned gets dirty, then we clean it again, then it gets dirty again. It's an endless cycle!

Anna: I don't see you with a broom and sponge! I'm always the one cleaning!

Mia: Always?! You've only been doing this chore for three days straight, and you choose to whine about it?! Haven't you forgotten that I did the cleaning last week?

Anna: Exactly! Last year!

Mia: Listen! This week, my chores were to inspect the lab's systems, and I'm almost done for today! You're not even halfway done-- Too bad, so sad!

[Sora and Zuzu approach]

Zuzu: What is wrong with you guys?

Anna: Mia behaves like a pig!

Mia: Little Miss Joker here doesn't like her chores!

Sora: I thought we all agreed to divide our weekly chores here.

Anna: Well, I guess I've had a change of heart. [hands Sora her sponge and bucket] You clean!

[She storms off; Tohka comes out of her room]

Tohka: What's with her?

Sora: [cleans up the table] Anna's just upset over cleaning so much.

Mia: She acts like she's always the one cleaning. But I cleaned last week.

Tohka: You probably had it easy since we didn't make much of a mess last week.

Mia: Probably because you've been eating out a lot.

[At the Nickar, Westcott consults with Argon in his chambers]

Argon: Master Westcott, my life force is slowly draining. Have you any clue as to who's doing this?

Westcott: I know nothing of the sort, Argon, but I assure you, I'll have my Demonoids search far and wide for the culprits and take them out. Time, my friend. Time's all I need.

Argon: Time-- That's the one thing I don't have.

[Westcott exits Argon's chambers and walks up to LN]

Westcott: [quietly] He hasn't got a clue.

LN: Once he's gone, we'll have the whole world under our control. Now, the next thing we need to do is capture one of the Kaleido Gladiators and drain her energy.

Norebo: Lady LN, I've got a plan that'll put the Gladiators out of business for good.

LN: What you fail to realize is that Master Westcott and I already have a plan.

Norebo: Yes, Lady LN, but I think...

LN: Don't think! Now, get to work!

[Norebo leaves in a huff]

Westcott: We won't destroy the Gladiators until we've used up every last drop of Argon's power first.

[Elsewhere in NYC, Zobo is having target practice: Firing her lasers at dummies that resemble the Geo Jester]

Zobo: The Gladiators are helpless against my aim.

Norebo: [approaches] Shame that Westcott and LN won't let you use it, Zobo.

Zobo: They have a plan.

Norebo: Oh, they do, all right. But what makes you think that plan includes you?

Zobo: Do you know something you're not saying? If so, then speak up!

Norebo: Our bosses want all the glory for themselves. But I know a way we can get the Gladiators' powers for our own instead.

Zobo: Norebo, if Westcott gets wind of this, he'll...

Norebo: He'll never know. No one but us will. Listen. Our only hope of getting enough power to beat them is to attack them in unison. We can absorb all their powers before Westcott knows what hit him.

Zobo: Now you're talkin' sense. Let's go!

[They set off]

[132 Madison Street, 9:12am]

[In the lab, Anna does dusting while Pamela and Zuzu check the computer for rap sheets, but one has a hard time loading]

Zuzu: Anna, could you check the router? The WiFi's a little slow.

Anna: Wasn't that supposed to be Mia's job this week? And do you guys see how clean this floor is? That was my job this week.

[Pamela and Zuzu stare at Anna, who then scoffs and sets back to work; Layla enters the lab, dragging Mia with her]

Mia: Layla, what's the matter with you?!

Layla: Sit down!

[Mia sits on a chair beside another while Anna dusts nearby]

Layla: You, too, Anna!

[Anna sits down next to Mia]

Pamela: Layla, what's going on?

Layla: These two. That's what. [to Mia and Anna] Now, neither of you is getting off those chairs until we work this out.

[Mia and Anna remain silent]

Layla: Well?!

Anna: Well, I've been cleaning the warehouse every day since we started--

Mia: Excuse me! You've only been cleaning all week! A lot of us have had a turn to clean!

Anna: And that gives you the right to just make a mess?! Look, I know we agreed to help the kids with the chores, but...

Layla: Both of you, shut up! Listen to yourselves! You're acting like a pair of three-year-olds! You're supposed to be friends!

Mia and Anna: [turn their backs against each other] As if!

Layla: Look, girls, we've all been shacking here since the Treacherous Ten arrived. We're all a little tired. But...

[The alarm blares; the monitor opens a channel to Zobo outside New York City Center]

Pamela: It's Zobo! She's outside New York City Center!

Layla: Get the other Gladiators, Pamela. [grabs Mia and Anna] As for you two, we'll settle this dispute later. Now, let's go!

Mia and Anna: Yes, ma'am.

[New York City Center, 9:23am]

[The 10 Kaleido Gladiators fly into the scene]

Zobo: Ah, you're here.

Anna: Zobo!

Zobo: Now to capture a Glad. Cyber Demonitron, come forth!

[An army of Cyber Demonitron appears]

Zobo: Get them!

[The Cyber Demonitron charge at the Gladiators, who whip out their weapons and fight them; after a few minutes, Zobo lunges at Anna and pins her to the ground, until Anna gets back on her feet and kicks Zobo to the ground]

Anna: That all you got?!

Zobo: You can't even handle what I've got!

[As the two get into a fight, Norebo looks on]

Norebo: Just as planned. She wears them down, and I have an easy target. [snickers]

[Just as Zobo has Anna cornered, Mia and Brittany push Zobo back with their weapons]

Zobo: Outta my way!

[She fires a flaming blast from her pike at Mia, but Brittany steps in and takes the hit]

Mia: Brittany! [grabs Brittany] Are you all right?

Brittany: I'll be fine, Mia.

Anna: [looks on with concern; in her mind] This is on me. Zobo wanted me.

Zobo: [fires bolts of lightning at Anna] You're next, Geo Jester!

[Anna gets zapped; Mia and Brittany run up to her]

Brittany: Anna, you okay?

Anna: Get away, you two! [gets back on her feet] I'm the one she wants!

Mia: Anna, don't do it!

Zobo: You don't have what it takes to help her, Gladiators!

Mia: Then let's find out! [inputs a code on her Kaleido Booster] 1-2-0! Prana Boost!

[Her lance becomes empowered by prana; she charges at Zobo with it, but Zobo pins her to the ground; Brittany tries to strike Zobo w/her blade, but Zobo kicks her back]

Zobo: This is too easy!

[An unusual-looking elderly woman approaches]

Woman: What's going on?

[Zobo notices her and fires at her; the woman takes the blast and hits the ground]

Mia: Shame on you, Zobo! Pickin' on a poor elderly woman like that!

[She pushes Zobo off of her, then runs up to the woman]

Mia: I've got you, ma'am. You okay?

Woman: [snickers; in a familiar voice] Thanks a bunch, Guillem!

[She disappears, then reappears four feet from Mia, back on her feet; she fires a blast at Mia, and shackles appear on her wrists]

Mia: Hey! I saved your life! What gives?!

[The woman transforms back into Norebo]

Norebo: The only one whose life needs saving is you! [grabs Mia] Gotcha!

Zobo: Norebo, what the hell?! You promised the prisoner would be the Geo Jester!

Norebo: I lied! Besides, one Gladiator is as good as another!

[She opens a demonic circle beneath herself and Mia, and they both disappear into it]

Anna: No! Mia!

[The circle disappears]

Anna: [falls to her knees] Mia!

[The other seven Gladiators, having destroyed the Cyber Demonitron, run up to the scene]

Layla: Anna!

Sora: Hang on!

[They shield Anna as Zobo approaches furiously]

Zobo: Heart is mine!

Layla: [inputs code 4-2-3 on her booster] I don't think so! Phoenix Fist!

[She punches Zobo back w/her flaming fists]

Zobo: I'll be back for her, Gladiators!

[She vanishes]

Layla: Anna!

[She and the others approach Anna, who clenches her fists in tears]

Anna: Mia, I'm so sorry. All those insults-- And now you're gone. I'll never forgive myself for this.

Sora: Don't be so hard on yourself.

Pamela: There's no way you could've known that this was gonna happen.

Layla: Let's get back to the warehouse and see if we can find Mia.

[In a cave in another dimension, Norebo has Mia cornered]

Mia: What do you want with me, Norebo?!

Norebo: Nothing much. Just your powers!

Mia: Not if I can help it!

[Still shackled, she fights Norebo, but the treacherous Demonoid kicks her to the ground]

Norebo: You're helpless with those shackles on. You can't punch me, you can't slap me, you can't use your lance, and you can't even use your Kaleido Booster.

[Mia takes a closer look at her shackles]

Mia: She's right.

Norebo: Now for the brain drain!

[She grips Mia's head and is about to drain her energy, when Zobo jumps in and strikes her with her pike, forcing Norebo to let go]

Norebo: Zobo!

Zobo: I thought the plan was that we would drain the Gladiators of their powers! Not just you!

Norebo: You wouldn't think I'd deceive you, would you?

Zobo: You'd deceive your own mother. That is, if you had a mother.

Norebo: [slaps Zobo] Screw you, bitch! You had no right to get personal just because I had the brains to pull this sh*t off!

Zobo: Oh, now you're asking for it!

[The two Demonoids get into a fight; Mia watches and is about to make her getaway, when Zobo grabs her]

Zobo: Not so fast! [to Norebo] Now, unless you want me to kill her right away, let's renegotiate our deal.

Norebo: Screw the deal.

Zobo: Then I'm taking her to Master Westcott!

Norebo: Over my dead body!

[She fires lasers at Zobo, forcing her to release Mia; Zobo's visors are cracked]

Zobo: Look what you've done to me!

Mia: Now's my chance.

[She rushes to the cave exit and flies down through a portal]

Zobo: After her!

[She and Norebo take off]

[132 Madison Street, 10:23am]

[In the lab, while Zuzu and May run a scan for Mia, Layla approaches the disappointed Anna]

Layla: Anna, you all right?

Anna: [sighs] I can't believe I got so mad at Mia over cleaning. She and I had been close friends since we first joined Kaleido Stage.

Layla: We could use your help finding her.

Anna: [nods] Yeah. You're right, Layla.

[She walks up to the monitor]

Anna: Zuzu, I need a scanning directive.

Zuzu: Start at parallel 44.7, Anna.

Anna: Got it.

[Elsewhere in the other dimension, Mia approaches an abandoned old warehouse]

Mia: I've gotta find a way back to the others.

[As she runs around the area looking for a place to hide, Zobo looks around for her]

Zobo: Where are you, Guillem?! I know you're around here somewhere!

[Inside the warehouse, Mia hides behind an old box]

Mia: Who cares if they have a home field advantage in one of Argon's dimensions? They can't beat us.

[Norebo appears in the loft]

Norebo: There's no use hiding, Guillem. [transports to the ground and approaches Mia] This'll go easier on you if you just stop fighting me.

[Suddenly, Zobo charges into the scene and punches Norebo]

Zobo: You just don't get it, do you, Norebo?!

Norebo: You're becoming even more of a hindrance than your worth, Zobo!

Zobo: Then why don't we end this here?!

[The two Demonoids get into another fight]

Mia: [notices a few flammable oil drums] Perfect! [hides behind the oil drums, then pops up] Hey, you two! Don't think I'll surrender to you!

Zobo: Those who don't surrender to us shall die!

Norebo: No, Zobo! She's mine!

Zobo: Good night, Platinum Pixie!

[She fires a flaming blast from her pike at Mia, who ducks; the blast hits the barrels, and a massive explosion engulfs the warehouse in flames; Norebo jumps out just before the explosion can consume her]

Norebo: Zobo, you idiot. But at least Guillem's gone.

[On the other side, Mia trudges out of the burnt warehouse, still alive and well (yet still shackled), but coughing]

Mia: Well, at least those two are gone.

[Suddenly, Zobo charges at her and grabs her]

Zobo: Norebo's out of our hair now. Let's take this fight back to your dimension! At least you'll die there!

[She and Mia get transported to Sakura Park in NYC]

Mia: Like I said before, I won't surrender!

Zobo: Petty talk coming from a weak Gladiator like you. One who's about to die, that is!

[She is about to attack Mia, when suddenly, Anna storms in on her Kaleido Cycle and strikes Zobo with her baton]

Mia: Anna!

Anna: Raise your shackles!

[Mia does so; Anna slices the shackles off Mia's wrists with her baton]

Anna: [stops her cycle] That was too close. You all right, Mia?

Mia: Thanks to you.

Anna: I was so worried. Can you forgive me for being such a jerk earlier today?

Mia: Of course.

Zobo: You may have escaped, Platinum Pixie, but you haven't won!

Mia: Not yet. But now you have to deal with both me and the Geo Jester!

[Suddenly, Norebo reappears]

Norebo: Guillem! I thought you were dead! [scoffs; turns to Zobo] I knew you'd fail to kill her in the end.

Zobo: Forget it. Let's vaporize these two together!

Norebo: Very well, then.

[They whip out their pikes]

Mia: [whips out her lance] You and me, Anna.

Anna: Right.

Nia, Kaguya, and Yuzuru: And us, too!

[Nia Honjou and the Yamai twins charge into the scene]

Mia: Nia!

Anna: Kaguya! Yuzuru!

[Nia and the twins activate their Spirit Braces]

Nia, Kaguya, and Yuzuru: Sephira, GO!

[They get suited up]

Norebo and Zobo: Spirit Soldiers?!

Nia: Wisdom trooper of revelation! Spirit Soldier Gray!

Kaguya and Yuzuru: Splendor troopers of wind! Spirit Soldier Orange!

Mia: K-7! Platinum Pixie!

Anna: K-8! Geo Jester!

Norebo: Two against five-- No matter. We'll destroy them all.

Zobo: Master Westcott wants to kill the Spirit Soldiers himself, but I think he'll settle for just Gold. Let's end this!

[They charge at the gang]

Nia: [whips out her Spirit Slinger] Let's see them try.

Kaguya: [whips out her Spirit Crossbow] We'll weaken them first, Gladiators.

Yuzuru: [whips out her crossbow] Agreed. Then you can take 'em out.

Anna: Thanks, you guys.

[The three Spirit Soldiers charge at the two Demonoids]

Nia: Sephira Shot!

[She fires energy blasts from her slinger at Norebo, hitting her]

Twins: Spirit Crossbow, Sephira Arrows!

[They fire arrows from their crossbows at Zobo, hitting her]

Nia: Spirit Soldiers, Spirit Pistols up!

[They form a pyramid and whip out their Spirit Pistols]

Spirit Soldiers: FIRE!!

[All three fire their pistols at the two Demonoids, hitting them both]

Mia: Thanks, Spirit Soldiers! Now's our chance, Anna! You lead off!

Anna: Right! [spins her baton around] Geo Baton!

[She tosses her baton at Zobo like a boomerang, striking her; Anna grabs her baton]

Mia: [as her lance glows] Platinum Lance! FULL POWER!

[She strikes Norebo with her lance; both Demonoids get electrified]

Norebo: No! We can't lose now!

Zobo: We're members of the Treacherous Ten! We won't go down like that!

[They mutate into more monstrous forms and laugh maniacally]

[Back at the Nickar, Westcott has seen everything]

Westcott: That's what I'd like to see.

LN: Time for the Giga Beam.

[She pushes the Giga Beam button; back at the park, the Giga Beam hits Norebo and Zobo, making them grow giant-sized]

Norebo: You've made us very angry, Gladiators!

Zobo: Now you'll pay!

[They unleash bolts of crimson lightning from their claws at the Gladiators and Spirit Soldiers, hitting them]

Nia, Kaguya, and Yuzuru: Send in the Sephira Voyagers!

[The Orange Sephira Voyager and a second one in gray (in a different shape) fly into the scene; the Spirit Soldiers jump into their respective voyagers' cockpits; the two voyagers fire their lasers at the two Demonoids, hitting them]

Mia: We gotta help them, Anna.

Anna: [looks up] Look!

[The Mega Star Borg and MechaEagle fly into the scene, with KB9 riding on the MechaEagle's back; split-screen to each cockpit w/the other eight Gladiators]

Layla: Are you two just gonna stand there or come join us?

[Cut back to the ground]

Mia: We're on our way, Layla!

Mia and Anna: KaleidoBorgs, deploy now!

[Their KaleidoBorgs fly into the scene; they combine with the MechaEagle and KB9 to from the Ivory Star Borg; all machines face the Demonoids]

Norebo: Those overgrown toys don't bother us!

[The Mega Star Borg fights Norebo while the Ivory Star Borg fights Zobo]

Zobo: Those ordinary Demonoids from before were novices! They could never have defeated you! But we're different!

[Cut to the Ivory Star Borg's cockpit with Pamela, Zuzu, Mia, and Anna]

Anna: As if that really matters. You may have beaten us the last time, but we've improved over the past month!

Pamela: Wing Cannons!

[Outside, the Ivory Star Borg fires its Wing Cannons at Zobo, who shields herself with her arms and repels the blast]

Zobo: Not gonna work! This is just child's play!

[She unleashes tentacles from her claws and binds the Ivory Star Borg]

Norebo: [does the same with the Mega Star Borg] Don't think she's the only one!

[Both Star Borgs struggle to free themselves, but to no avail; the two Demonoids electrify the Star Borgs]

[Cut to the Gray Sephira Voyager's cockpit]

Nia: I'd call for the others, but the Sephira Robo is undergoing maintenance.

[Her brace beeps]

Nia: Go.

Kotori: [through brace] Nia, the Sephira Robo may be out of commission for now, but I've sent in the other Sephira Voyagers to help.

Nia: Thanks, Kotori.

[Outside, the Black and Green Sephira Voyagers (along with a brand-new one in yellow) fly into the scene]

[Cut to the Yellow Sephira Voyager's cockpit w/Spirit Soldier Yellow]

Mukuro: 'Tis the time I put my new Sephira Voyager to the test.

[Cut to the Green Sephira Voyager's cockpit w/Spirit Soldier Green]

Natsumi: Let's show these Demonoids never to tangle with us!

[Cut to the Black Sephira Voyager's cockpit w/Spirit Soldier Black]

Kurumi: All units, fire lasers!

[All five Voyagers fire their lasers at the two Demonoids, hitting them]

Norebo: Begone, Spirit Soldiers!

[She fires lightning from her claws at the voyagers, who all dodge]

Kurumi: Guys, let's bring 'em together and take these guys out!

Nia, Natsumi, Mukuro, Kaguya, and Yuzuru: Roger!

All six Spirit Soldiers: Sephira Battle Jet, begin transformation!

[The Sephira Voyagers combine to form a large jet:
The black voyager in the center
The gray and yellow on the left side
The orange and green on the right side
Their cannons used as jets on the rear
Lasers emerge from the top of each voyager
The wings on either edge spread wider]

[Cut to the cockpit with all six Spirit Soldiers]

Spirit Soldiers: Sephira Battle Jet, ready!

[Cut to the Fraxinus]

Kotori: Glad you got our new combo all set, guys. Now, try out the Jet Lasers.

[Cut back to the Sephira Battle Jet's cockpit]

Kurumi: Thanks for the reminder, Kotori. Full power to Jet Lasers!

All six Spirit Soldiers: FIRE!

[Outside, the Battle Jet fires beams from its lasers at the two Demonoids, hitting them]

Zobo: [charges at the Battle Jet] Damn you, Spirit Soldiers! Screw Westcott and his rules! I'll kill you myself!

Mukuro: Let's not grant her the opportunity.

Kurumi: Sephira Battle Jet, Sephira Swoop!

[The Battle Jet takes to the sky surrounded by black, orange, yellow, green, and gray aura; it swoops down and strikes Zobo hard, electrifying her]

Norebo: Zobo, you fool!

All 10 Gladiators: Flying Quadruple Knuckle Strike!

[The two Star Borgs take to the sky; their fists glow; they dive down toward Norebo and Zobo and strike them hard w/their fists; Norebo and Zobo scream as they get sent flying; they then fall to the ground]

Zobo: [as she and Norebo try to get back on their feet] A warning to all of you-- Our destruction will only add fuel to our teammates' fire.

Norebo: Savor this moment while you can, because even if some of us fall, the Treacherous Ten will prevail!

[Both fall to the ground, and an explosion is shown]

[Split-screen to the cockpits; the gang cheers, then jumps out and surveys the smoke-covered area where Norebo and Zobo fell]

Mia: That final attack should've taken 'em both out.

Nia: No way they could've survived that.

[Suddenly, after the smoke clears, Norebo and Zobo lie on the ground, back to normal size (but still in their monstrous forms); they get back on their feet]

Norebo: Well, lucky us. All that finisher did was wear out our giant size.

Zobo: Now let's finish those fools. And Heart will be the first to go.

Anna: [growls] They just can't seem to know when to throw in the towel, do they?

Kaguya: We're with you, Anna!

Yuzuru: Yes. Let us help.

Anna: No, thanks. I'll take her. She still needs to pay for what she did to Mia.

[The Mega button on her Kaleido Booster starts flashing]

Mia: That flash! Anna, does this mean you...?

[Geo Jester is heard in the background:]

Comic savior.
Hey-hey-hey-hey.
Fights misbehavior.
Hey-hey-hey-hey.
No one dares
to stop her.
Geo-Geo-Geo-Geo-- HEY!
Geo Jester.

The daughter of a comedian
knows naught of boundaries.
The comic Gladiator
is the bee's knees.

The youthful Anna Heart
will never turn her back.
Enemies, enemies everywhere,
know that she won't cut you slack.

Geo Jester!
She will decide your fate!
Geo Jester!
Geo Jester!
Gladiator 8!

Geo Jester!
She will decide your fate!
Geo Jester!
Geo Jester!
Gladiator 8!

Anna: [pushes the button] Mega Armor, activate!

[She gains grasshopper-themed armor; her baton transforms into a glaive: The Geo Glaive]

Anna: Mega-Armored Gladiator!

Zobo: [charges at Anna with her pike] I want that power of yours! Give it to me, Heart!

[Anna flies toward Zobo and strikes her with her glaive]

Anna: The Geo Glaive may not be the best, and it may not have the same traits as my baton, but it's still strong enough to send your android ass to Hell!

Zobo: [unleashes the last of her energy upon Anna] Then try this!

Norebo: Zobo, no!

[Anna spins her glaive, blocking the blast]

Anna: [sticks her glowing glaive to the ground] Geo Glaive, Ground Strike!

[She soars toward Zobo with her glaive still on the ground; as she nears Zobo, she swings her glaive up and bisects Zobo, electrifying her; Zobo screams, falls to the ground, and a massive explosion is shown]

Norebo: That lousy fool! How dare she waste her energy! You'll all pay for this dearly, and the first one to pay will be the Platinum Pixie! [charges at Mia] This is penance for escaping me, Guillem!

Mia: I'll make you regret ever kidnapping me in the first place, Norebo.

[The Mega button on her booster starts flashing]

[Platinum Pixie is heard in the background:]

Brave Mia Guillem.
Witness all her style and grace.
With the speed of a luna moth,
she puts crooks in their place.
The seventh member of her team,
and the genius of the squad,
she guides her teammates to the top
against all odds.

Fly high, #7,
up to the heavens.
You can beat 'em,
Mia Guillem.
You're a gift from the gods!

Platinum Pixie!
Flying 60!
Faster than the speed of sound,
evil fails to dispatch.
Go, go!
Platinum Pixie!
Flying 60!
Of all the Gladiators' speed,
hers is unmatched.
Gladiator 7, Platinum Pixie!

Platinum Pixie!
Flying 60!
Faster than the speed of sound,
evil fails to dispatch.
Go, go!
Platinum Pixie!
Flying 60!
Of all the Gladiators' speed,
hers is unmatched.
Gladiator 7, Platinum Pixie!

Mia: [notices] Yes! Finally, my own Mega Mode! [pushes the button] Mega Armor, activate!

[She gains luna moth-themed armor; her lance transforms into a pike]

Mia: Mega-Armored Gladiator!

Brittany: Two new Mega Modes in one day?!

May: Can you believe all Norebo's attempts to drain Mia of her powers only made Mia stronger?

Norebo: Zobo may have failed to beat a Mega-Armored Gladiator, but I won't! [grips her Pyro Pike and charges at Mia] I'll destroy you, even if it means I'm destroyed, too!

[Mia grips her Platinum Pike and charges at Norebo; both fight with their pikes]

Norebo: Like Zobo and I said earlier, the rest of my team will destroy you, with or without us!

Mia: You know, your false vows are really starting to annoy me. Platinum Pike, Lightning Strike!

[She raises her pike, unleashing bolts of lightning upon Norebo, hitting her]

Norebo: Pyro Pike, Inferno Fury!

[Her pike unleashes a burst of flames upon Mia, who flies up and dodges]

Norebo: [tosses her pike at Mia] DIE!

[Mia slices the pike in half with her own; the Pyro Pike disintegrates]

Norebo: My Pyro Pike!

Mia: It never stood a chance against me and my Platinum Pike. And what's worse, neither will you!

[Her pike glows]

Mia: Platinum Pike, Pixie Strike!

[She dives down toward Norebo and bisects her; Norebo screams, splits in half, falls to the ground, and a massive explosion is shown]

[The gang cheers]

Mia: Justice served once again!

Anna: We finally did it!

[They hi-five]

[Back at the Nickar, LN stands before the remaining members of the Treacherous Ten]

LN: Norebo and Zobo each had their own plan. About lot of good that did them.

Tomahawk: We'd have won if we'd all attacked the Gladiators together!

LN: We'll beat them in time, Tomahawk. But the next time one of you goes into battle without permission from me or our master, I'll kill you myself!

[She leaves the bridge; Tomahawk grumbles in frustration]

[132 Madison Street, 11:32am]

[The gang (now back to normal and joined by Shido, Tohka, Kotori, Origami, Mana, Miku, and Yoshino) is nearly finished with lunch]

Shido: Two members of the Treacherous Ten gone in one battle. You Glads sure are full of surprises.

Layla: With Norebo and Zobo dead, the odds are now in our favor.

Sora: If we could only figure out their next plan. Then the odds would be even better.

Origami: Maybe we can. Let's go to the lab.

[Everyone gets out of their seats and heads for the lab (save for Mia and Anna); Mia is about to clean up, but Anna stops her]

Anna: Don't worry about it. I'll clean it up. I still have the rest of the week to clean.

Mia: Oh, don't worry. I don't mind.

Anna: No, Mia, I insist.

[Sora, Layla, and Pamela stop and notice them just as they approach the lab]

Sora: Now that's the relationship I remember.

Anna: It's not right for you to take my job. I'll handle it. No problem.

Mia: Anna, I just wanna help you.

Anna: I don't need your help. It's just a cleaning job.
