Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Mukuro: You all know the drill. Watch in a brightly-lit room, and do not sit too close to the monitor. Let's get to it!



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, Saturday, August 31st, 11:48am]

[In front of the warehouse is a sign: "Charity banquet today! (12pm-6pm) See Mukuro Hoshimiya for details"]

[A lot of people are gathered for a big banquet, with food from all corners of the globe; Mana comes out of the kitchen with trays of cream pies on hand; she observes her surroundings]

Mana: Wow. This is really looking beautiful.

[A group of haka dancers enter]

Lead dancer: Hey, Mana. Sorry if we're late. There was traffic on the GW.

Mana: Don't worry, boys. It's early yet.

[She suddenly eyes three familiar beings: Ai Yamabuki,...]


[Mai Hazakura,...]


[...and Mii Fujibakama]


[The trio is watching a viral video on Ai's smartphone and laughing]

Mana: Ai! Mai! Mii!

Ai: Yo!

Mana: Don't just stand there, you clowns! Gimme a hand with these!

[The trio eyes the haka dancers; they smile, then approach them]

Ai: Tell us what we need to do for you guys.

Mana: Not those guys, you bozos! I need a hand with the pies.

Ai: Oh.

[She and the trio each take a tray]

Ai: It's only been, like, 18 hours since we flew in from Tenguu City, and already, we gotta work.

Mai: Yeah. We should be hanging with classmates or meeting cute guys.

Mii: This is so lame.

[Tamae Okamine approaches Mukuro and Kotori, who have trays on hand]


Tamae: Hello, girls.

Kotori: Miss Tamae.

Tamae: I see Mukuro's idea of a cultural banquet is gonna be a great success, isn't it?

Mukuro: Yes, ma'am. It's to raise money for the children's hospital. Some of my aerobics students have family members there. I wanna make sure the kids have fun while they recuperate.

Tamae: It's just dandy that you're thinking about the children of this community. [notices Kotori's tray of sushi] Oh, nice sushi. Could I?

Kotori: If you pay for it first, Miss Tamae.

Mukuro: If you just want the sushi, it's $6.50 a roll. If you want to eat as much as you want at this banquet, it's $50 a plate.

Tamae: Well, I wasn't really very hungry, anyway. Carry on, girls. [leaves them]

Shido: [approaches the girls] Better get back to work, girls. Banquet starts in 10.

Kotori: You got it, bro. [turns to Mukuro] This is gonna be a fantastic banquet.

Mukuro: I just hope the Demonoids aren't hungry for trouble today.

[Neo-DEM Industries HQ, 11:57am]

[LN and JB observe the banquet on the monitor]

JB: What the hell are they doing?

LN: Looks as if they're having some kind of festival.

[Nervadrone enters, weary]

LN: What's with you, Nervadrone?

Nervadrone: I don't feel so good.

JB: Oh, come on. You can't be sick.

Nervadrone: Don't tell me I can't. I already am!

LN: Maybe what's on the monitor will cheer you up.

Nervadrone: Cheer me up? Step aside and let me see.

[She takes a look at the monitor showing the banquet at the warehouse]

Nervadrone: [groans] A banquet?!

[132 Madison Street, 12:11pm]

[The haka dancers perform in front of a crowd of people; after the performance, the crowd applauds]

[Lunch is later being served:
Shido, Kotori, and Mana serve from the Japanese booth]

Shido: Try some tempura.

Kotori: Plenty of sushi.

Mana: Miso soup?

Customer A: Thanks.

[Origami helps Antonia serve from the Greek booth]

Antonia: I appreciate the help, Origami. It's a lot of work to serve this food to all these people.

Origami: Anything for the children's hospital, Antonia.

Antonia: Souvlaki, anyone? How 'bout some moussaka? Courtesy of my great-grandmother's recipe.

Customer B: Cool.

[Nia helps Mia at the Dutch booth]

Mia: Would you like some of this hachee? It's really good.

Nia: We'll throw in a side of metworst, if you'd like.

Customer C: You bet.

[Miku helps Lilith and Sarah at the English booth]

Lilith: What can I get for you, sir? We've got some delicious fish and chips and English sandwiches.

Miku: And the steak and kidney pudding is to die for.

Customer D: I'll bite. Guys?

[Three other customers beside him agree]

[Kurumi helps May at the Chinese booth]

Kurumi: Try some of this sweet and sour pork.

May: Stir-fried rice, miss?

[The two customers (Yu Fan and Yu Lan in disguise) in front of them nod; Kurumi and May serve them]

Yu Fan: Thank you.

[The twins sit on a nearby bench]

Yu Lan: If there's one good thing coming out of this undercover mission, it's delicious food.

Yu Fan: I agree. Just remember, our mission is simply to observe the banquet. No deadly force. We can't afford to arouse suspicion.

Yu Lan: Understood, Sis.

[Yoshino helps Marion at the Italian booth]

Marion: We've got some delicious eggplant parm and chicken marsala.

Yoshino: How about some carbonara?

Yoshinon: Or would you prefer the lovely lasagna?

[The customers in front of them are amazed]

[Kaguya and Yuzuru help Olivia at the Australian booth]

Kaguya: Hey, try Olivia's famous shrimp on the barbie!

Yuzuru: Comment. It's the fruit of the sea.

Olivia: There's enough for everyone! [to a customer] How many, ma'am?

[Natsumi helps Rosetta at the French booth]

Natsumi: Would you like to try Rosetta's incroyable croque monsieur, madame?

Customer E: Sure.

[Natsumi serves her a croque monsieur with a slice of French bread on the side]

Rosetta: [holds out a dish of foie gras] How 'bout some foie gras?

Customer E: [takes it] Thanks. [leaves]

Natsumi: I never knew you could cook French cuisine so beautifully, Rosetta.

Rosetta: Merci, Natsumi. Even though I was born in Belgium, both my parents were born in France. That's where I'd been studying for most of my childhood. [holds out a bite of foie gras] Care for a free sample?

Natsumi: Thanks!

[She opens her mouth; Rosetta feeds her the bite; Natsumi chews and swallows]

Natsumi: Tres bien!

[Tohka helps Julie at the Nordic booth]

Tohka: [serves lapskaus to customers] It's too bad Sora and Layla are still on their cruise. They would've loved this. Plus, Anna's at Disneyland with her parents for the weekend.

Julie: [serves kjøttkaker patties to customers] And Tor, Tomoe, Miyabi, and Imari are on stakeout with Miss Tsukimi in Queens. But I saved them some leftovers.

Tohka: Yeah, 'cause all this mutton is so yummy!

Julie: There will be plenty of mutton for you during your lunch break.

Tohka: [sighs] Anything you say.

[Mukuro helps Pamela at the American booth]

Mukuro: Don't forget about the mouth-watering all-American cheeseburgers!

Pamela: Fresh off the grill! Grab some while you can! [pats Mukuro on the head] Muku, you really know how to help a community.

Mukuro: I just want the kids at the children's hospital to be happy, Pamela.

[Tamae approaches]

Tamae: And you're doing a very good job of it. This is just what I like to see: Happy, healthy community spirit.

[Ai, Mai, and Mii are having their lunch near the pies]

Ai: What a boring banquet. I mean, I know this is all for a good cause, but aside from all this food and those cute dancers from New Zealand, it's so dull.

Mii: I know. So lame.

Mai: We need to liven the place up a bit. [eyes the pies] And I think I may have the answer.

Mii: Hmm?

Ai: Oh, I get it.

[She and Mai put down their plates and each pick up a pie; Mii puts down her plate and tries to choose between the other pies]

Ai: Are you waiting for an invitation, Mii?

[Mii sighs and picks up a banana cream pie; she is about to put her finger on the cream]

Mai: We're not going to eat these pies, you peabrain.

Ai: We're going to fling them.

Mii: Oh.

Ai: Spread out, guys.

[The trio spreads out]

[Tamae approaches the Japanese booth]

Shido: Hey, Tamae, wanna try some of this sashimi?

Tamae: Oh, lemme see.

Kotori: I'd be happy to add some ponzu sauce.

Mana: How 'bout yakiniku?

Tamae: Hmm...

[Ai eyes her]

Ai: Nothing personal, Miss Okamine. Just wanna have some fun.

[She flings her pie at Tamae, but the pie suddenly misses her and hits Mii in the face instead; Shido and his sisters burst out laughing]

Tamae: What on Earth?

Mii: Much as I love lemon meringue, this is lame!

[She marches up to Ai with her pie in hand]

Ai: Sorry, Mii. I didn't mean it. I was aiming for...

[Mii slaps her pie into Ai's face]

Ai: [sighs] Banana cream. So delicious.

Mai: Oh, well.

[She pies herself with her chiffon pie]

Ai, Mai, and Mii: FOOD FIGHT!!

[Every customer erupts into a giant food fight; everyone else tries their best to evade the flying food; the Xia twins take cover in a corner; Tamae notices a customer at the Mexican booth]

Customer F: [tosses tortilla chips in the air] YEE-HA!

Tamae: Now, knock that off!

Customer G: [squirts bottles of ketchup up in the air] WHOO!!!

Yu Fan: Juvenile behavior at its finest.

Yu Lan: What a waste of food.

[As they stream everything with their miniature cameras, the food fight continues]

[Back at Neo-DEM HQ, the female Demonoid generals notice what the twins are shooting]

JB: What the hell are they doing now?

LN: It's called a food fight. It's where people fling food at each other. But I say we give these fools a real food fight.

JB: Nervadrone!

Nervadrone: I'm right here, damn it!

JB: Your next Demonoid has to be a special one.

Nervadrone: All my Demonoids are special, JB.

JB: [furiously] Nervadrone!

Nervadrone: Oh, sorry.

JB: I want you to send your most ravenous Demonoid.

Nervadrone: Cybat's perfect for the job, JB, but I should warn you, he's not my best work.

LN: Then make him your best work! See to it that he eats all the food on Earth!

Nervadrone: Yes, ma'am. Cybat!

[Her bat-like Demonoid enters the area]

Cybat: [laughs] At your service.

Nervadrone: Get to New York and eat whatever you find!

Cybat: Excellent! I could use a good meal! [vanishes]

[Somewhere in New York, Cybat appears in an alley]

Cybat: Where's the food?! [sighs] I should've transported to a restaurant. [notices a dumpster nearby] Oh!

[He dives into the dumpster and eats whatever scraps he can find]

Cybat: Oh, this is so good! Who cares if this is from a garbage dumpster?! I'm a Demonoid! I can take it!

[Back at the warehouse, the gang continues to steer clear of the food fight]

Tohka: We gotta put a stop to this!

Mukuro: Yes! Look at this mess! We gotta save the banquet!

Pamela: [grabs linked hot dogs] I got this one.

[She approaches Ai throwing pies at people; Ai stops when she notices Pamela]

Ai: What's it to you?

[Pamela swings the hot dogs like nunchaku; Ai flinches repeatedly, and suddenly, her pie falls on her head; Pamela laughs]

Ai: Real funny, Miss Mosley. [grabs two cans of whipped cream] I'll do better with whipped cream.

[She starts spraying whipped cream on passing customers; Mukuro stands before her]

Mukuro: Hey, Ai!

Ai: Step aside, Muku!

Mukuro: Why don't you cool it with the whipped cream?

Ai: Oh?

[She gently sprays whipped cream as if she were a menacing bull]

Mukuro: That's how you're gonna play? Okay. [removes her apron and holds it in front of her as if she were a matador] Toro! Toro! TORO!

[Ai charges at her; Mukuro lifts her apron and dodges]

Rest of Shido's group: OLÉ!

[Ai slides on the beverage table, knocking drink after drink until she bumps into a bowl of punch, causing it to fling off the table; Tamae gets splashed with the punch]

Ai: Uh-oh!

[Tamae takes a deep breath]

Tamae: CEASE!

[The food fight comes to a complete stop; everyone stares at Tamae]

Tamae: Just look at this mess! My dress! My hair! [turns to Mukuro] You should be ashamed of yourself, young lady. Your banquet, your responsibility! I only hope we raised plenty for the children's hospital!

Mukuro: But, Miss Tamae!

Tamae: Oh, I don't want to hear any excuses! [leaves] I'll be at my hotel.

Shido: Just ignore her, Muku.

Tohka: Probably her hungry stomach talking.

[Her Spirit Brace beeps]

Kotori: As if our day can't get any worse.

Mana: You guys go ahead.

Lilith: We'll get this place cleaned up and order takeout.

Shido: Thanks.

[He and the Spirits head for their room and remove their aprons]

Tohka: [to her Spirit Brace] Go ahead.

Kannazuki: Report to the Fraxinus immediately, Spirit Soldiers. We have another emergency.

Tohka: We're on it.

[They teleport out]

[The Xia twins peer into the room]

Yu Lan: Some living quarters.

Yu Fan: Let's go home. We've done enough for today.

[They exit the warehouse]

[Fraxinus EX, 1:02pm]

[The bridge monitor shows Cybat gorging food all over the city; the Spirit Soldiers and crew watch]

Kotori: For a bat, he's such a pig.

Shido: Man, this guy needs a serious diet!

Tohka: Doesn't he ever cool down?

Kannazuki: What you're watching right now happened just minutes ago.

Kawagoe: The Demonoids have unleashed a ravenous bat upon the city.

Shiizaki: According to our scans, his #1 purpose is to eat.

Miku: If that bat keeps this up, he'll eat the whole city out of house and home!

Origami: The way I see it, he might consume Earth's entire food supply within 72 hours. He has to be stopped.

Mukuro: Look at that thing. He is so gross.

[Karen and MARIA enter, wearing aprons]

Karen: Hello, Spirit Soldiers.

MARIA: Thought we'd lend a hand with the food for the banquet.

Mukuro: Thanks, MARIA. Karen. But that's gonna have to wait. We have work to do.

Minowa: The bat's just been spotted in Hell's Kitchen.

Kannazuki: I'll teleport you there immediately.

Shido: Let's do this, girls.

[Hell's Kitchen, 1:05pm]

[Cybat sits atop a tall building; the Spirit Soldiers (all suited up) stand on the roof of a shorter building and notice him]

Shido: All right, you greedy bat! Your feast is over!

Mukuro: Come down and fight like a bat!

Cybat: You dare me, do you?! [flies down toward the Spirit Soldiers] I'll teach you to trifle with Cybat!

[The Spirit Soldiers whip out their default main weapons and fight Cybat with them]

Cybat: I'm still hungry! I know! [sucks Tohka and Miku toward him] I'll eat your weapons!

[As soon as Tohka and Miku are close enough, Cybat starts eating their weapons]

Tohka: Miku, he's eating my saber!

Miku: And my shamisen!

[As soon as he swallows the weapons, Cybat kicks the two Spirit Soldiers back]

Cybat: Yummy!

Miku: No!

[The twins fire arrows their crossbows at Cybat, but he sucks them close to him and swallows their crossbows before kicking them back; Natsumi and Yoshino strike Cybat with their weapons, but Cybat eats the axe and broomstick, too, then kicks the two back; Mukuro charges at Cybat with her halberd, only for Cybat to swallow it up and kick her back]

Cybat: Not quite full yet. Who's next?

[Origami, Kotori, Nia, and Kurumi strike Cybat with their weapons; Cybat sucks the weapons out of their hands and eats them]

Kurumi: My musket!

Kotori: Bro, get him while he's eating!

Shido: You're mine, Cybat!

[He punches Cybat with his Spirit Knuckles, but Cybat sucks them down his belly]

Cybat: Anymore?

Shido: Sephira Spear!

[His spear appears in his hands; Shido leaps up and strikes Cybat with it; Cybat knocks the spear out of Shido's hands with his right wing, catches it, and eats it]

Shido: Aw, man! My spear!

Cybat: [burps] That should do it! Now to finish you!

[He unleashes a supersonic wave from his mouth, creating a spinning vortex; the Spirit Soldiers all get caught in it, then reappear in Central Park and retroform; the vortex vanishes]

Shido: Everybody okay?

Tohka: Yeah. What a weird way to travel.

Kotori: Cybat's one strong Demonoid.

[Her Spirit Brace beeps]

Kotori: What's happening?

MARIA: Spirit Soldiers, there's worse news. While you were caught in Cybat's vortex, he found his way into your banquet and is causing chaos!

Shido: A Demonoid at the warehouse?!

Mukuro: Oh, my God! Let's go!

[Back at the warehouse, customers watch in horror as Cybat scarfs down as much food as he can find]

Cybat: More food! [approaches a booth] Oh, boy! Look at this!

[He suddenly bumps into Ai, Mai, and Mii]

Cybat: Outta my way, ladies! I'm hungry!

Ai: Just when we're about to get this banquet back on track, you go ahead and make things worse?!

Mai: You should be ashamed!

Mii: You're so lame!

Cybat: You want me to suck your blood?

Ai: Uh, guys, I think that's our cue to leave.

Mai: Let's go!

[The trio rushes out of the warehouse; Cybat laughs and continues his eating spree]

Lead dancer: Where are the Spirit Soldiers when you need them?!

[He and his fellow dancers escape as other customers flee]

Cybat: Yeah, go ahead and run! Leave me to eat what's left in peace!

[He continues eating; he notices trays of spicy foods]

Cybat: Gross! Screw that! [notices the last of the pies] Ah! Dessert! [scarfs down every last one] That takes care of the warehouse. Back to base! [vanishes]

[Shido's group rushes back into the warehouse and observes the mess]

Tohka: Not another mess!

Origami: I guess we're too late.

Shido: Damn! He ate everything in sight!

Kotori: Tamae's gonna flip out again when she gets wind of this.

[Lilith, Julie, Antonia, Rosetta, Marion, May, Pamela, Mia, Olivia, and Mana return with takeout food; they notice the mess]

Antonia: Hey! Who made this big mess?!

Mana: I'll bet it was a Demonoid.

Miku: It was. A ravenous bat kind of Demonoid, if you must know.

Julie: What a tragic waste.

May: Now we gotta get a tighter security system.

Mukuro: Who cares?! My banquet is ruined!

[She rushes outside in tears; Shido follows her]

Pamela: Poor kid.

Mia: I know. All she wanted was to help the children's hospital.

Natsumi: We gotta get rid of Cybat somehow.

Yoshino: But how can we without our weapons?

Lilith: Your weapons? What happened to them?

Tohka: We've got a lot to tell you.

[Outside the warehouse, Mukuro curls up in a fetal position and starts to cry]

Mukuro: It's just not fair. Big Sister Asahi, Muku's so sorry.

[Shido walks up to her]

Shido: Muku,...

Mukuro: First the food fight, now this? Maybe Muku's not fit to hold a banquet like this.

Shido: Muku, don't say that about yourself. Tamae was just in the heat of the moment. I'm sure she'll understand you're not responsible for the mess.

Mukuro: Even so, Shido, I promised the children's hospital I'd deliver. And I didn't.

[She cries on Shido's shoulder; Shido hugs her]

Shido: Don't cry, Muku. As far as I'm concerned, the banquet's not quite over. For now, why don't you come on in and have a bite to eat while we think of a way to beat Cybat?

Mukuro: 'Kay.

[They walk inside; a bit later, everyone has a bite of pizza; out of the orbital elevator come Eris, Kio, Aoi, Manami, and their babies]

Eris: What happened here?

Kio: Food fight, huh?

Mukuro: And a Demonoid.

Aoi: What a mess. Sorry, Mukuro.

Manami: Whoever that Demonoid was is gonna pay for this.

[Her group takes their babies to the nursery with Chiyo and Kazumi; they put them in the cribs, then exit the nursery and close the door]

Kio: At least Shido's babies are okay.

Eris: Good thing this nursery is soundproof.

Antonia: We should get this place cleaned up and find a way to get this banquet back on track.

[Mukuro suddenly notices something among the messy tables]

Mukuro: Wait a second. Do you guys see what I see?

Olivia: What are you talking about, Muku?

Mukuro: Look around.

[Everyone looks around]

Mukuro: As you know, Cybat ate everything in sight. [approaches the spicy food booth] Except the spicy stuff.

Tohka: Well, obviously he doesn't like that stuff.

Origami: But we can use that weakness to beat him.

Mukuro: Yep. I say we lure him with food. We just need to sneak in something spicy. [holds up a jalapeño pepper] Like this jalapeño pepper.

Tohka: Great idea, Muku!

Shido: One bite of that spicy food should be enough to give Cybat indigestion so we can get our weapons back. Let's get to work, guys!

[Back at Neo-DEM HQ, Cybat's eating spree in Manhattan is shown on the monitor; LN and JB watch]

LN: This is working out even better than expected. He's eating everything in sight!

JB: Nervadrone?

[Nervadrone's remaining Demonoids: Foxoid, Mechamouse, and Aquamech, approach]

Mechamouse: What's going on, Lady JB?

JB: Any of you boobs seen Nervadrone?

Aquamech: You got me.

Foxoid: Haven't seen her all day.

JB: [sighs] She's never around when we need her. Nervadrone, if you can hear me, I need you now! You gotta send Cybat to the Meatpacking District!

[Nervadrone has overheard everything from her office and is excited]

Nervadrone: Finally, a Demonoid proven effective against the Spirit Soldiers! I'll just make JB wait a while, then march in victoriously.

[Cut back to the meeting room]

JB: Don't just stand there, you dolts! I need Nervadrone here now! You're making me wait!

LN: What are you guys waiting for?!

LN and JB: GET HER!!

[The confused Demonoids leave]

JB: Hopefully, what they lack in brains, they'll make up for in power against the Spirit Soldiers.

LN: If Cybat fails, that is.

[Back at the warehouse, 12 trays of different foods are ready:
Hamburger steak
Nigiri sushi
Miso pork
Tacos
Souvlaki
Sweet and sour chicken
Lasagna
Hot dogs
Shrimp
Shiitake mushrooms
French pastries
Hero sandwich]

Mukuro: [to her Spirit Brace] Mr. Kannazuki, we found a way to beat Cybat. We just need to find him.

Kannazuki: Kawagoe just tracked him in the Meatpacking District. This could mean trouble.

Shido: We're on our way.

[Meatpacking District, 1:47pm]

[Cybat looks around for the nearest packing plant]

Cybat: There's gotta be a packing plant close by. All this running is making me build up an even bigger appetite!

[Suddenly, the Spirit Soldiers appear on top of a nearby building]

Shido: Hey, Cybat! Care for some yummier food?!

Cybat: Yummier food? Where?! Where?!

[He looks up and notices the Spirit Soldiers]

Shido: Right here!

Cybat: Spirit Soldiers!

Shido: Ladies?!

[He and the others whip out their food trays:]

Mukuro: Sandwich!

Natsumi: Pastries!

Nia: Mushrooms!

Kaguya: Shrimp!

Yuzuru: Hot dogs!

Yoshino: Lasagna!

Kurumi: Chicken!

Origami: Souvlaki!

Miku: Tacos!

Kotori: Pork!

Tohka: Sushi!

Shido: Hamburger! And it's on the house!

Cybat: Toss 'em down to me! I'm hungry!

[One by one, the Spirit Soldiers (minus Mukuro) toss their food down to Cybat, who catches them in his mouth and eats them]

Shido: Now's your chance, Muku.

Mukuro: [sticks a jalapeño pepper in her sandwich] Here comes the atomic special. Hey, Cybat! Still hungry? [tosses the sandwich] Catch!

Cybat: A hero sandwich?! What a beauty!

[He catches the sandwich in his mouth and swallows it up whole]

Cybat: Man, this is good!

Shido: Cross your fingers, girls.

[The Spirit Soldiers cross their fingers]

Cybat: That was yummy!

[He laughs, until suddenly, he begins to scream in pain and hold his belly]

Cybat: What's happening to me?!

[He starts to spit out everything he ate]

Miku: Oh, gross!

Mukuro: But it's working!

[Cybat spits out the Spirit Soldiers' weapons; the Spirit Soldiers jump off the building, catch their weapons, and land safely on the ground]

Cybat: You tricked me! How did you find out that spicy foods are my greatest weakness?

Mukuro: That's for us to know and for you never to find out!

[One by one, the Spirit Soldiers strike Cybat with their weapons]

Kurumi: Assemble the Sephira Buster!

[She, Mukuro, Nia, Natsumi, and the twins combine their weapons]

Kurumi: Sephira Buster!

Cybat: My lunch!

Spirit Soldiers: FIRE!

[The Sephira Buster fires a burst of five colors at Cybat, hitting him hard; Cybat screams, falls to the ground, and an explosion is shown; after the smoke clears, his chips are seen floating]

Mukuro: [detaches her Spirit Halberd from the Sephira Buster] Allow me. This is for ruining Muku's charity banquet!

[She jumps up]

Mukuro: Spirit Halberd, Shifuru Shred!

[She slices both chips to pieces with her halberd; the pieces vaporize]

Mukuro: Termination complete!

Shido: Attagirl, Muku!

Mukuro: It'll take a lot more than that to beat the Sephira Squadron...!

All 12: Spirit Soldiers!

[Back at Neo-DEM HQ, LN and JB are furious with Nervadrone; Nervadrone's remaining Demonoids are intimidated]

JB: You imbecile! What gave you the idea to send out a gluttonous Demonoid without a cast-iron stomach?!

Nervadrone: I did warn you he wasn't my best work!

LN: I don't know why you always mess things up!

Nervadrone: You two have had your share of flaws!

JB: [tosses Nervadrone against the wall] Idiot! Now I'm the one feeling sick to my stomach, and it's all your fault! [turns to Nervadrone's blubbering Demonoids] And as for you three, SHUT UP!

LN: How can anyone carry out Master Westcott's orders with these jackasses?!

[132 Madison Street, 2:00pm]

[Shido's group (back to normal) returns]

Marion: We saw the battle at the lab, you guys. Great job!

Pamela: Especially you, Muku. [pats Mukuro on the head] I knew you'd take down that bat.

Mukuro: Thanks, Pamela. But what about the banquet?

Shido: Do you guys think we've made enough for the children's hospital?

[His Spirit Brace beeps]

Elliot: This is Elliot Woodman. Do you copy?

Shido: Loud and clear, Elliot.

Elliot: I see you completed your latest mission.

Tohka: Yep. Cybat is no more, and the world can now eat in peace.

[Cut back to the Fraxinus with Elliot]

Elliot: Congratulations on a job well-done.

[Karen and MARIA enter with trays of hero sandwiches]

MARIA: Sorry we took so long.

Karen: We'd just figured out a way to beat that brash bat.

Kotori: Easy, you two. I think we already took care of that problem.

Kurumi: Yeah, that bat's history.

Mukuro: But he still ruined my banquet. We don't have enough food left to serve.

MARIA: Oh, that's a shame. But maybe these sandwiches will help.

Karen: Minowa, initiate teleportation.

Minowa: [initiates teleportation] Yes, ma'am.

[The sandwiches get transported from the Fraxinus to the warehouse]

Mukuro: Thanks, you guys.

Shido: C'mon, girls. Let's get this place cleaned up before Tamae gets back.

[He and the others set to work cleaning up and start singing]

Shido: Come on, everybody!
Let’s clean up the house.
Tohka: Let’s go!
Shido and Tohka: Come on, everybody!
Let’s clean up the house.

Natsumi: Clean up the house!
Yoshino: Clean up the house!
Miku: Everybody, clean up the house!

Shido: Come on! You, too!

Kurumi and Nia: Clean up the house!
Kaguya and Yuzuru: Tidy it up! Tidy it up!
Mukuro and Origami: Clean up the house!
Kaguya and Yuzuru: Tidy it up! Tidy it up!
All: Everybody clean up the house!

Tohka: Let’s take it downstairs!

[They rush downstairs to the lab to clean it up]

All: Whoooooooooa…!

Shido: Clean up the house!
Kotori: We’ve got to clean it up!
Kurumi: Clean up the house!
Kotori: That’s right, now! Clean it up!
Mana: Everybody clean up the house!

Shido: You tell 'em, Mana!

Shido and Tohka: Clean up the house!
Kaguya and Yuzuru: Tidy it up! Tidy it up!
Natsumi and Yoshino: Clean up the house!
Kaguya and Yuzuru: Tidy it up! Tidy it up!
All: Everybody clean up the house!
Tohka: Oh, baby, baby!
All: Everybody clean up the house!

Let’s clean up the house!

[All pose, then head back upstairs as Tamae returns]

Mana: Oh, hi, Miss Tamae. Look, we're really sorry about what happened today.

Tamae: I'm the one who should be sorry to all of you, especially you, Mukuro. I know none of you were responsible for this mess.

[Ai, Mai, and Mii also return]

Ai: We started the food fight.

Mai: We told Tamae everything.

Mii: It was so lame.

Ai: Muku, we're really sorry. The banquet was just pretty dull, except for those haka dancers. We just wanted to have some fun.

[She and the other two each hold out $50 bills]

Mai: This should cover all the food we threw.

Mii: Mm-hmm.

Mukuro: [takes the 50s] Apology accepted. But please, don't do this again.

[Ai, Mai, and Mii bow their heads; Mukuro inserts the money into the donation box; Tamae takes a closer look]

Tamae: Oh. I see that this banquet has raised a lot of money, despite all this.

Origami: Let me count.

[She takes the money out of the box and counts it]

Origami: $4,940.

Mukuro: [sighs] Thank God.

Shido: And look what we got to make up for the rest.

[Tamae, Ai, Mai, and Mii eye the sandwiches]

Tamae: Hmm... Those look good.

Ai: What do you think, guys?

[Mai and Mii nod, smacking their lips]

Ai: We'll each take one.

Tamae: Me, too.

Mukuro: It'll run you $15 a sandwich.

Tamae: $15?

Mukuro: For the children?

Tamae: [hands Mukuro $15] Okay. To be frank, with all this craziness, I didn't eat lunch today.

[Ai, Mai, and Mii each hand Mukuro $15; they each take a sandwich and take a bite]

Ai: Man, these things are delicious.

Mai: I know. Especially the Swiss cheese.

Mii: It's so yummy, it's lame.

Tamae: [takes a sandwich with hot peppers] Definitely worth $15.

Shido: Oh, no, not that one, Tamae! It's a little bit...!

[Tamae takes a bite, then swallows; her eyes widen]

Kotori: Uh-oh!

Tamae: Water! Water! Water! Water! Water!

[Mukuro hands her a pitcher of water; Tamae guzzles it down]

Ai: Oh, boy.

Shido: You okay?

Tamae: [sighs] Yeah.

Mukuro: Sorry about that.

Tamae: It was pretty hot,... but well worth it!

[Everyone laughs]


[Clips from the next side-fic are shown]

Kotori: Bro, this episode has made me hungrier.

Shido: How about some sushi and riceballs?

Kotori: Boo. I'm bored with that.

Shido: Okay, we'll catch a few burgers. But you gotta cut down on those lollipops.

Kotori: Anything for you, bro. Next time on ACME Crime Net: Hot Pursuit. Vigilance, dedication, courage!

Mana: Big Brother, can I come along?
