Rated TV-14 (DLSV)

Origami: Hello, everyone. Before you watch the show, make sure you turn on your lights 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, Saturday, September 28th, 2:15pm]

[On the roof, Origami trains the Chipmunks and the Chipettes in martial arts]

Origami: Block 10, punch 11, step up 12, and...!

All seven: HYAH!

[They all pose martial arts-style]

Origami: Very good, kids. Class dismissed.

[They all head back downstairs]

Brittany: Nothing like a good workout to start off our weekend in New York.

Alvin: I'll say. Origami, when did you become a martial arts instructor?

Origami: I'm just a mere tutor. Shido is a certified instructor whenever he's not in class or on his part-time job at the pizzeria like he is now. [walks toward the nursery] Excuse me. I gotta check on Chiyo.

[There is a knock at the door]

Simon: Excuse me.

[He walks up to the door]

Simon: Hello?

Ryouko: [behind door] I'm looking for someone named Origami Tobiichi. I heard she's here.

Simon: Who is this?

Ryouko: I'm her ex-captain. I need to talk to her.

Simon: Well, she's in the nursery right now, taking care of her baby.

Ryouko: A baby? My top Wizard, a mother?!

Alvin: Keep her busy, Simon.

[He enters the nursery as Origami is almost finished changing Chiyo's diaper]

Alvin: Hey, Origami, someone's at the door to see you.

Origami: I'm almost done, Alvin. Who is it?

Alvin: She says she's your ex-captain.

Origami: [as she fits Chiyo into her onesie] Tell her I'll be right out. Don't let her-- [eyes widen] Ex-captain? [gasps] Captain Kusakabe!

[She takes the baby and rushes out of the nursery toward the front door]

Origami: Let her in.

[Simon unlocks the door and opens it, revealing Ryouko Kusakabe,...]


[...alongside Mikie Okamine (left) and Mildred F. Fujimura (right)]


Origami: Captain Kusakabe. Mikie. Mildred.

Mikie and Mildred: Hi!

Mikie: Is this baby Chiyo?

Mildred: Isn't she adorable?

Origami: That's right, and she's about half a year old. Chiyo, say hi to Mommy's friends.

[Chiyo can barely wave at Mikie and Mildred; the two girls smile, then eye the Chipmunks and the Chipettes and squeal]

Mikie: The Chipmunks!

Mildred: And the Chipettes! So cool!

Theodore: Friends of yours, Origami?

Eleanor: Though the tall one looks pretty tough.

Origami: Yes.

Ryouko: Captain Ryouko Kusakabe, AST. Origami, have you abandoned all of my training?

Origami: What are you saying, Captain?

Ryouko: Origami Tobiichi, you were my best Wizard at the Anti-Spirit Team.

Jeanette: Anti-Spirit Team?

Origami: A unit of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force designed to combat Spirits. I used to fight for them before I became a Spirit, Jeanette. I fought hard beside the team before I decided to join Shido and his group.

[She has flashbacks of her past with the AST]

[Back to the present]

Ryouko: Did you kids know that Origami could've been a world-class Wizard? Instead, she went and quit, became a Spirit, and now a part-time waitress and a mother. What a waste!

[The Chipmunks, the Chipettes, and even Mildred and Mikie are shocked at Ryouko's words]

Ryouko: Haven't you forgotten the path I'd planned for you?

Origami: Captain, with all due respect,... I choose to follow my own path.

Ryouko: The path you chose was wrong. I'll be at my hotel. I'll leave these two in your care.

[She returns to her rental car and drives off]

Mikie: She really didn't have to get so mad.

Mildred: What's wrong with being a mother?

Origami: Never mind. Come on in, you two. Make yourselves comfortable.

[Mikie and Mildred bring in their duffel bags as they head in; Origami locks the door]

Origami: Now, you've already heard of the Chipmunks: Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, and the Chipettes: Brittany, Jeanette, and Eleanor. Kids, this is Mikie Okamine and Mildred F. Fujimura.

Mikie: I'm an AST Wizard, but I'm also Origami's protege.

Mildred: I'm a mechanic. I used to work for DEM, until they went rogue. I'm working for the AST now.

Origami: So, what brings you two to Manhattan?

Mildred: You mean besides seeing the sights? We're here to spend more time with you while you're in New York.

Mikie: But Captain Kusakabe insisted on following along. She wanted to check on your status. And look at that cute baby. How can the captain be upset about her?

Alvin: What was Ryouko's problem, anyway?

Origami: She taught me everything I know about martial arts and combat, as well as being a Wizard. She's always been like an older sister to me. I think she really wanted me to follow in her footsteps. She was okay with me leaving the AST, but after I became a Spirit, she got disappointed, and when I got my part-time job and had Chiyo, it really disappointed her.

Brittany: But what you're doing now is important, too.

Origami: To us, maybe, but not to Captain Kusakabe. The JGDSF is like her whole world.

[Shido, Tohka, and Mana return with three boxes of pizza and a bag of Hooters lunches]

Shido and Mana: We're back.

Tohka: Anybody hungry? [notices Mikie and Mildred] Hey, what are you guys doing here?

Mikie: Tohka! [runs up to Tohka and jumps in excitement] You're a real sight for sore eyes. [eyes Tohka in her Hooters uniform] Tohka, what a bod!

Tohka: What? It's just my work uniform. Oh, and the fact that I'm pregnant.

Mikie: [gasps] You're having a baby?!

Tohka: That's right.

Mikie: Oh, congratulations!

Mildred: So, who's the daddy?

[Tohka innocently points at Shido; Mikie and Mildred stare at him]

Origami: He also happens to be Chiyo's father.

Mikie: Is that true, Shido?!

Shido: Yes. I also have another baby I want you to meet.

[He enters the nursery, then comes out carrying baby Kazumi]

Shido: This is my other daughter Kazumi, Kurumi's baby. Four months old.

[Mikie and Mildred fawn over Kazumi]

Mikie: Look at her. She's the spitting image of her mom.

Mildred: She's got her same hair and eyes. And she's got your nose, too, Shido.

Shido: And expect Tohka and Miku's babies to have the same nose.

Mildred: Wait, Miku's pregnant, too?

Tohka: We found out just two weeks ago. Pretty soon, Shido's gonna be a father to four babies. [rubs her belly] I'm hoping for a boy.

Mana: Anyway, we brought lunch from work.

Shido: Mana and I got plain, pepperoni, and vegetarian.

Tohka: I got burgers, boneless wings, fish tacos, curly fries, and fried pickles. Oh, and chicken garden salads.

Origami: Care to join in, girls?

Mikie and Mildred: We'd be delighted!

[Everyone sits down for lunch]

[Neo-DEM Industries HQ, 2:33pm]

[JB presents Westcott and LN with her latest Wizard (played by Taylor Ann Thompson)]

JB: Mr. Westcott, I give you my next Wizard: Rose Busby.

Busby: I owe ACME a piece of my mind after they cost me my future.

Westcott: On what grounds?

Busby: They arrested me for possession of drugs. I took a plea and did community service, but I never got my part-time job back, and I was kicked out of school.

JB: If you want to get the revenge what you so desire, I recommend you do us a favor and bring us the Spirit Soldiers first. It'll be your first test of your CR-Unit.

Busby: Whatever it takes. I'll start at the Square Diner where I lost my job. That'll draw the Spirit Soldiers out.

[Back at the warehouse, the gang is finished with lunch]

Mikie: Who'd have thought American food could be so filling?

Mildred: Good thing they brought vegetarian pizza and salads. I'm dieting.

[The alarm blares; Mikie and Mildred cover their ears]

Origami: The alarm!

[Her Spirit Brace beeps]

Origami: Excuse me.

[She hands Chiyo to Tohka, then rushes to her group's guest room]

Origami: Go ahead.

Kotori: [through Spirit Brace] Square Diner, on the double! The others and I will meet you there!

Origami: Roger. I'll get Shido and Tohka.

[She exits the room and walks up to Shido and Tohka]

Origami: [quietly] Square Diner. Trouble.

[Shido and Tohka nod and get out of their seats; they take the babies back to the nursery and put them in their cribs; they exit the nursery and join Origami]

Mikie: What's going on?

Origami: Just going out for a bit. We won't be long.

[She, Shido, and Tohka exit the warehouse]

Mildred: What are those three up to?

[Mana gives a "my lips are sealed" gesture; the Chipmunks and the Chipettes do the same]

[Square Diner, 2:56pm]

[Busby attacks, until the Spirit Soldiers intercept with their Spirit Pistols]

Busby: Spirit Soldiers, at last!

Shido: Trying to get revenge on the diner for firing you, eh?

Busby: If I can't have a job here, no one can. But that can wait. I challenge all 12 of you to a fight!

Kotori: What do you think fighting us is gonna prove, Busby?

Busby: Simply that I'm superior to you all!

Origami: As if we'd fall for that.

[She fires a blast from her Spirit Pistol at Busby, hitting her; Busby falls to the ground]

Kurumi: Jeez, Origami! Nice shot!

Miku: I'm surprised she didn't even put up a fight.

Busby: [gets back on her feeet] No fair! You used your weapons!

Tohka: No sh*t, Sherlock! Let's break out the Sephira Bazooka.

Busby: Not so fast! I challenge you to fight me without using your weapons. Hand-to-hand combat! Trust me. I may be an ex-con, but I'm a proud martial artist.

Origami: Whatever it takes you shut your pie hole.

[All 12 Spirit Soldiers fight Busby without using any weapons; Busby fights back easily without using any of her weapons]

Busby: White's going down first.

[She punches Origami, then pile drives her to the ground, knocking her helmet off her head]

Busby: [pins Origami to the ground with her right foot] See? You're helpless without your weapons. No one can best me!

[Suddenly, Ryouko jumps in, eating an apple]

Ryouko: I can!

Origami: [in her mind] Captain!

Busby: What do you want, old lady?

Ryouko: Old lady?!

[She tosses her apple at Busby, hitting her in the head]

Busby: [growls] Throw an apple at me, will ya?!

[She charges at Ryouko, who grabs her and flips her on her back]

Ryouko: You ought not have messed with the captain of the Anti-Spirit Team.

Busby: [limps out of the area] Beaten by an older woman! The shame!

Tohka: What's the captain of the Mecha-Mecha Squad doing here?

Shido: I don't know, but I'm glad she showed up. [walks up to Origami] Hey, are you all right?

Origami: [sits up] I think so. That cowardly Wizard, trying to make us fight her without our weapons. [gasps] My helmet!

Ryouko: [hands Shido Origami's helmet] You mean this?

[Origami notices Ryouko]

Origami: Captain...!

Ryouko: So, Origami, you're one of the Spirit Soldiers.

Origami: [takes her helmet and puts it back on] I wanted to tell you, Captain, but I couldn't. It wasn't safe.

Ryouko: And what about these other soldiers?

Shido: If you must know,...

[All Spirit Soldiers revert to normal]

Ryouko: Shido Itsuka?

Origami: Shido happens to be the father of my child, Captain.

Tohka: Recognize me, Mecha-Mecha Captain?

Ryouko: Princess? [notices the others] Hermit? Berserk? Ifrit? Diva? Nightmare? All of you?!

Origami: We have to regroup. Captain, would you like to come with us? We'd like to...

Ryouko: Why should I waste my time with such foolishness?

[She storms off; Tohka runs after her]

Tohka: Captain Kusakabe! Wait!

[Ryouko stops]

Ryouko: Yeah, what is it?

Tohka: Could I talk to you a minute?

Ryouko: Shoot.

Tohka: Origami may not be in your squad anymore, but she really looks up to you. Why can't you appreciate her for what she is now?

Ryouko: And what's that?

Tohka: She's Spirit Soldier White.

Ryouko: Well, that's not what she should be!

[She storms off again; Tohka shakes her head in disgust and rejoins her group]

Origami: Forget about her, Tohka. Let's regroup.

[They transport out]

[Central Park, 3:35pm]

[Ryouko looks at a photograph of her and Origami from when she was part of the AST; Ryouko is in tears]

Ryouko: For years, after your parents died, I'd been training you to become an AST Wizard, but at the same time, you've been like a little sister to me. Why, Origami? Why'd you have to let all our training go to waste?

[Busby approaches her]

Busby: Captain.

[Ryouko looks up at her]

Ryouko: You again?! I'm warning you, I'm armed and dangerous!

Busby: I humbly request your assistance, Captain. Allow me to be your new student.

Ryouko: As if I'd ever teach my Wizard skills to an ex-con.

Busby: But I've changed! I gave up on drugs! I left the Demonoids! Now all I wanna do is learn from the greatest Wizard of the Anti-Spirit Team.

Ryouko: Why should I trust you?

Busby: [falls to her knees and begs] Please, Captain! I beg of you!

[JB appears]

JB: Rosalie Busby!

Busby: JB!

JB: You're supposed to be fighting the Spirit Soldiers!

Busby: Not anymore! I'm done working with the Demonoids!

[She jumps up and kicks JB to the ground]

JB: Another traitor! You'll regret ever crossing me! [vanishes]

Busby: It's like I told you, Captain, I've turned over a new leaf. I give you my word, I'll never commit another crime. All I want to do now is learn the way of the Anti-Spirit Team, one that fights for peace!

[Ryouko thinks for a moment]

[Later, Ryouko and Busby train together in self-defense]

[After a while of training, they approach the warehouse]

Ryouko: Well done, kiddo.

Busby: I'm eternally grateful, Captain.

[Inside the warehouse, Origami and Mikie play Tetris on their Game Boys (via link cable)]

Mikie: Aw! Again?! Best three out of five.

Origami: [turns off her Game Boy] No, thanks. I think I've played enough for today.

[She suddenly overhears a conversation coming from outside]

Mikie: What is it?

[Origami looks out the window]

Origami: Captain!

[She rushes outside]

Mikie: Captain? Origami, what's wrong?

Origami: Later!

[Outside, Ryouko and Busby notice Origami approaching them]

Busby: What do you want?

Origami: Captain, get back!

Ryouko: It's all right, Origami. She's clean.

Origami: Get away from her, Captain! She's a Wizard on the Demonoids' payroll!

Busby: Not anymore. She's my teacher.

Origami: What?!

[Unbeknownst to her, Mikie is watching through the window]

Mildred: [approaches] What's up, Mikie?

Mikie: Shh! Something's up between Origami and the captain.

[She and Mildred watch]

Ryouko: I finally found a truly dedicated Wizard. One that won't quit. Miss Busby's given me her solemn oath that she won't use her training for crime.

Origami: Solemn oath?! She won't keep her promise, Captain! Get back!

Busby: Stand back, Captain. I'll handle her.

Origami: Sephira, GO!

[She gets suited up]

Origami: You dare to fool my ex-captain?

[She and Busby fight (again, no weapons), but after a few minutes, Busby kicks Origami and flips her on her back]

Ryouko: Good job, kid. You learned fast. [pats Busby on the back] You know how to make a big sister proud.

Busby: [bows] Thank you, Captain.

[They leave]

Origami: How could she do this to me?

[She gets back on her feet and reverts to normal; Mikie and Mildred approach her]

Mikie: Origami, are you okay?

Mildred: That was some blow you took.

Origami: I'm fine. It's just that the captain-- [turns to the two] Did you two just see all that?

Mikie: You're a Spirit Soldier? Unbelievable!

[Origami frowns]

Origami: Come with me inside. We'll talk.

[They head inside]

[Later, Origami explains the story to Mikie and Mildred, with the Chipmunks and the Chipettes and the rest of Shido's group by her side]

Origami: Kotori's parents created Sephira-X out of the remnants of our Sephira Crystals and created our Spirit Braces. That's what allows us to become the Spirit Soldiers. And our weapons are made out of Sephira Steel, Sephira-X combined with iron ore from the wreckage of the first Spatial Quake.

Mikie: Wow. My idol-- A Spirit Soldier! I'm at a loss for words.

Brittany: When we found out, we didn't believe it ourselves.

Mildred: Captain Kusakabe has to know about this. That'll get her to apologize to you.

Origami: She already knows. And unfortunately, she's not happy. She thinks I'm better off a Wizard than a Spirit Soldier. So stubborn! She's only training that criminal to get back at me for quitting!

Mana: Sounds like the both of you're being pretty stubborn. Captain Kusakabe is in trouble, and you only care about your pride?

[Origami thinks for a moment]

Origami: You're right. I have to find her.

Mikie: I'll go with you.

Mildred: I'll stay put. I think I can come up with something that might help you in future battles.

Origami: Thanks, Mily.

[She and Mikie exit the warehouse]

[Abingdon Square Park, 4:13pm]

[Ryouko watches as Busby continues practicing by splitting big rocks; Ryouko smiles]

Busby: YEAH! I RULE!! [laughs] Oh, there's so much more I'd like to learn from you, Captain.

Ryouko: What more can I teach you? You've become the strongest Wizard I've ever coached.

Busby: Honest?

[Ryouko puts her hand on Busby's shoulder]

Ryouko: You're even better than I am.

Busby: Well, if that's the criteria, then I guess I won't be needing you anymore,... [grabs Ryouko's arm] ...old woman!

[She vigorously flips the shocked Ryouko on her back; Ryouko groans in pain as Busby walks off]

Ryouko: God damn it! [seethes] Abandoned again?!

[Later, Busby launches another attack outside the Square Diner]

Busby: This time, I'll finally have my revenge!

[Projectiles from Spirit Pistols strike her]

Busby: Mosquito season starts earlier every year.

[The Spirit Soldiers (minus White) charge into the scene, evacuating citizens]

Yoshino: What are you doing back here, Busby?

Busby: Unfinished business, if you must know.

Shido: Turn yourself in while you have the chance!

Busby: Make me!

[The Spirit Soldiers struggle to fight Busby without using their weapons]

[Back at Abingdon Square Park, Origami and Mikie look around until they find Ryouko sitting on a bench in dismay]

Origami: Captain! Are you all right?

Mikie: What happened?

Ryouko: Busby lied! You were right about her, Origami. I'm such a fool. I shouldn't have trusted her.

[Origami and Mikie sit down beside her]

Origami: It's gonna be all right.

Ryouko: Origami, can you ever forgive me for being so stubborn?

Origami: Of course I forgive you. But I also owe you an apology. I was just about as stubborn as you.

Ryouko: Apology accepted. But at least you had your reasons. At least you were doing the right thing, protecting the whole planet. Busby abandoned me just so she could do the Demonoids a favor.

[Origami's Spirit Brace beeps]

Tohka: Origami, do you copy? We need you at the diner again!

Origami: I'm on my way.

Mikie: I'll keep an eye on the captain.

Ryouko: [grabs Origami's arm] Not so fast, Origami! I trained Busby well. Too well, sadly. By now, you might've forgotten your training.

Origami: I haven't.

Ryouko: [gets out of her seat] Then prove it.

Origami: Very well.

[They spar for a while, until Origami successfully knocks Ryouko out]

Mikie: WOW!

[Origami helps Ryouko back up]

Origami: I remember everything you taught me. I wouldn't be a Spirit Soldier if I didn't.

Ryouko: So you do. [pats Origami on the head] I couldn't be more proud of you. Now, go. Your team needs you.

Mikie: We'll catch up.

Origami: [bows] Yes, Captain.

[She transports out]

Ryouko: Ready, Mikie?

Mikie: Aye-aye, Captain!

[Ryouko whips out two cases containing their Combat Wiring Suits]

[Back outside the Square Diner, the other Spirit Soldiers are overwhelmed]

Busby: I'm the best Wizard in the universe! You guys can't best me!

Nia: Don't push your luck, Busby.

Kurumi: You stubborn, stuck-up bitch.

Busby: I'll make you eat your words.

[Suddenly, Origami reappears]

Origami: Forgetting someone?

Shido: Origami!

Origami: Leave my family alone!

Busby: Ryouko Kusakabe's failure of a pupil shows up at last!

Origami: I'll show you the real failure, Rose Busby.

[Both combatants get into a fighting stance; Busby circles around Origami as Origami prepares to make her first move, then spins around and lunges at Busby; both combatants trade blows with one another over the next minute]

Origami: I won't let you lay a finger on my lover or the rest of my team.

Busby: Like I said, I'm invincible! You're a failure!

[She charges at Origami, but Origami jumps up in preparation for a flying side-kick]

Origami: Wizard Kick!

[She strikes Busby 10 feet back; Busby hits the ground hard]

Origami: It's over, Busby.

[She poses triumphantly; the other Spirit Soldiers get back on their feet]

Tohka: Way to go, Origami!

Natsumi: That was psych!

Yoshino: Nice moves.

Origami: Thank you.

[Busby gets back on her feet]

Busby: It's not over yet! Equip, level 2!

[She gets equipped with extra armor and an arm-mounted blade]

Origami: You just don't learn! Sephira, GO!

[She gets suited up]

Shido: Ace trooper of courage! Spirit Soldier Gold!

Origami: Crown trooper of light! Spirit Soldier White!

Nia: Wisdom trooper of revelation! Spirit Soldier Gray!

Kurumi: Understanding trooper of shadows! Spirit Soldier Black!

Yoshino: Kindness trooper of ice! Spirit Soldier Blue!

Kotori: Severity trooper of fire! Spirit Soldier Red!

Mukuro: Beauty trooper of authority! Spirit Soldier Yellow!

Natsumi: Victory trooper of forgery! Spirit Soldier Green!

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

Miku: Foundation trooper of sound! Spirit Soldier Fuchsia!

Tohka: Kingdom trooper of energy! Spirit Soldier Violet!

Shido: Spiritual powers of 12, unite as one! Sephira Squadron...!

All 12: Spirit Soldiers!

Busby: Your pitiful roll call means nothing to me!

[She rigorously fights the Spirit Soldiers with her blade]

Busby: I only lost because I didn't use any weapons! This time, I'll succeed!

[She is about to strike Tohka, until Origami intercepts with her hands]

Origami: Don't say I didn't warn you!

[She kicks Busby back]

Origami: Spirit Launcher!

[She gets equipped with her Spirit Launcher; Shido points his Spirit Pistol at Busby]

Shido: Don't move, Busby!

Origami: Hold your fire, Shido. This one's mine.

Shido: [steps back and lowers his pistol] All right, but we're here if you need us.

Busby: Oh, this is gonna be fun. [snickers] C'mon, Snow White. Let's get down to it.

[Origami charges her Spirit Launcher]

Busby: The rest of you rest up. You're next.

[She charges at Origami with her blade]

Origami: FIRE!

[Her Spirit Launcher fires a blast of white energy at Busby, hitting her hard; Busby screams, falls to the ground, and an explosion is shown]

Origami: Any last words?

[Busby emerges from the smoke]

Busby: It's not over yet!

[Suddenly, Ryouko and Mikie, in their AST Combat Wiring Suits, burst into the scene and strike her with their <No Pain> blades]

Origami: Captain! Mikie!

Ryouko: That's far enough, Busby!

Mikie: Mess with the Spirit Soldiers, and you'll have to answer to us!

Busby: The AST? In cahoots with the Spirit Soldiers?!

Ryouko: You learned quite a lot from me, Busby, but in the end, you haven't changed at all since your arrest.

Mikie: You wanna turn yourself in, or do we have to use force?

Busby: Back off!

[She charges at the two Wizards, who fight back with their blades; a fight breaks out]

Busby: Meanwhile,...

[She pushes a button on a remote in her pocket; a giant robot emerges]

Busby: Good thing my Yrsa robot works on autopilot.

Ryouko: Spirit Soldiers, hold off that robot!

Mikie: We'll take care of this one!

Origami: Roger that! Send in the Sephira Voyagers!

[Sephira Voyagers Gold, White, Red, Fuchsia, and Violet fly into the scene and combine to form the Sephira Robo, which faces the Yrsa robot]

[Cut to the Sephira Robo's cockpit with all 12 Spirit Soldiers]

Origami: Don't hold anything back, Spirit Soldiers. I don't know long Mikie and the captain can keep Busby at bay.

Other Spirit Soldiers: Roger!

[Outside, the Sephira Robo and the Yrsa fight]

Busby: While they're distracted, I'll finish you both off.

[She fires a blast from her cannon (mounted on her left wrist) at the AST Wizards, who repel with their barriers]

Ryouko: I'll fight fire with fire! Take this!

[She fires blasts from her <Auldist> gatling gun at Busby, hitting her]

Mikie: And this!

[She fires a blast from her <Merry Ram> laser gun at Busby, hitting her]

Busby: Get outta my way!

[She strikes the AST Wizards with her sword, but Ryouko and Mikie strike back with their blades]

Ryouko: Had enough, or you just want some more?

Busby: More, you say? Oh, I'll get more. In the form of reinforcements!

[An army of Bandersnatch units appears]

Busby: Time to bid farewell, Captain!

Ryouko: Just you and me, Mikie.

Mikie: Yes, ma'am.

[Suddenly, five familiar blasts strike Busby and her Bandersnatch]

Ryouko and Mikie: Hey!

[Spider Riders Alvin, Simon, and Theodore (riding their Battle Spiders), Kaleido Gladiator Brittany, and Mana (in her Vanagandr CR-Unit) charge into the scene]

Mana: And us!

Ryouko: Mana!

Mikie: And the Chipmunks! And Brittany!

Ryouko: But where'd those four get those uniforms?

Busby: More of you?!

Simon: Knowledge of the Oracle! Spider Rider Simon!

Theodore: Honor of the Oracle! Spider Rider Theodore!

Alvin: Might of the Oracle! Crimson Rider! Spider Rider Alvin!

Flame, Brutus, and Dagger: Spiders by their side...

All three Chipmunks: Ready to ride!

Brittany: K-6! Dove of Dreams!

[The cry of a dove is heard]

Mana: Ratatoskr Wizard: Mana Takamiya!

Busby: [hisses] Attack them all!

[The Bandersnatch charge at the gang]

Mana: Kids, leave Busby to us Wizards.

Alvin: Got it. But don't use up so much power.

[He, his brothers, and Brittany fight the Bandersnatch as Mana and the AST Wizards fight Busby]

Mana: Just like old times, huh, Captain?

Ryouko: I'll say.

Mana: But I can't maintain a CR-Unit for more than a minute every 24 hours. We have to make this quick.

Mikie: Understood.

[They all knock Busby back with their blades]

Busby: It doesn't matter how many Wizards you throw at me. I'm the most powerful Wizard of all-time! You're all just novices, especially the bitch who abandoned DEM to join her pantywaist brother!

Mana: What'd you say?

Mikie: Uh-oh. She insulted Shido.

Mana: [shakes her fists] What'd you say?

Ryouko: She shouldn't have said that.

Mana: WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!

[Her power levels rise]

Ryouko: Now she's in for it!

Mana: Don't you even think of insulting my BIG BROTHER!!! FENRIR: LIGHTNING FIELD!!

[The mechanical jaw on her left arm opens up and glows; she spins around in a square around Busby, surrounding her with streaks of lightning]

Mana: Captain! Mikie!

Ryouko: Here we go!

[Her and Mikie's blades glow brightly; they charge at Busby either side of her]

Ryouko: This is for betraying me!

[She strikes Busby]

Mikie: And this is for hurting my idol!

[She strikes Busby]

Mana: [flies above Busby] And this is for my Big Brother! FIRE!!

[Fenrir bombards Busby with massive blasts of energy; Busby screams as she takes the blasts, falls to the ground, and a massive explosion is shown; after the smoke clears, Busby, her unit destroyed, lies on the ground motionless; the Chipmunks and Brittany finish off the last of the Bandersnatch with their weapons]

Alvin: Quick. Let's get her booked.

[He and his group grab Busby and cuff her; Busby gets on her feet as NYPD officers arrive to take her away]

Simon: Rosalie Busby, you're under arrest for assault, attempted murder, and illegal use of a deadly weapon. [hands Busby over to the cops] You have the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. If you can't afford an attorney, one will be appointed to you.

[As the cops take Busby away, the gang regroups and reverts to normal]

Theodore: Well, that's another repeat offender out of the way.

Brittany: Thanks for holding her off, Ryouko.

Ryouko: Anytime.

Alvin: You, too, Mikie.

Mikie: My pleasure. But what about the Spirit Soldiers?

Mana: Up there!

[They look up at the giant mecha battle, where the Sephira Robo is nearly overwhelmed by the Yrsa; the Sephira Robo gets equipped with its saber and tries to strike, but the Yrsa intercepts with its hands]

Brittany: Looks like they're gonna need the other Sephira Voyagers to take this robot down. [to her wristband] Shido, do you copy? That giant robot might be too much for the Sephira Robo.

[Cut to the Sephira Robo's cockpit]

Shido: I know. This calls for backup.

Kaguya and Yuzuru: Sephira Voyager Orange, combine!

[Outside, Sephira Voyager Orange flies into the scene and splits into two, which convert into shoulder cannons, which attach to the Sephira Robo]

Kaguya and Yuzuru: Sephira Robo: Mode 2, ready!

Kaguya: Hrotti Shoulder Cannons, energize!

[The Sephira Robo's cannons energize]

Yuzuru: Command. FIRE!

[The Sephira Robo's cannons fire blasts at the Yrsa, hitting it hard; the Yrsa continues to launch attacks]

Kurumi: Sephira Voyager Black, combine!

[Sephira Voyager Black flies into the scene, takes the form of an ion turbine weapon and combines with the Sephira Robo]

Kurumi: Sephira Robo: Mode 3, ready! Turbine Supercharge Blast!

[The Sephira Robo's turbines start turning; its shoulder cannons and Gungnir Cannons charge, then fire from all of its cannons at the Yrsa, hitting it hard; the Yrsa continues on]

[Cut back to the cockpit]

Kurumi: How the hell's it still standing?!

Natsumi: Not a problem for mode 4! Sephira Voyager Green, combine!

[Outside, Sephira Voyager Green flies into the scene and transforms into a gauntlet with gatling blasters around the wrist and attaches to the Sephira Robo's right arm]

Natsumi: Sephira Robo: Mode 4, ready! Gatling Gauntlet, fire!

[The Sephira Robo fires missiles from its right-arm gauntlet at the Yrsa, hitting it]

[Cut back to the cockpit]

Shido: Girls, it's time for the Battle Jet.

Kurumi: Roger that, Shido.

Kaguya, Yuzuru, Kurumi, and Natsumi: Disengage!

[Outside, their Sephira Voyagers detach from the Sephira Robo]

Nia: Sephira Voyager Gray!

Mukuro: Sephira Voyager Yellow!

[Their Sephira Voyagers fly into the scene and combine with the other three uncombined voyagers to from the Sephira Battle Jet; Spirit Soldiers Gray, Black, Yellow, Green, and Orange jump into the cockpit]

[Spit-screen to both cockpits]

Origami: Kurumi, you lead off!

Kurumi: No problem! Sephira Battle Jet, fire Jet Lasers!

[Outside, the Battle Jet fires its Jet Lasers at the Yrsa, hitting it, just as the Sephira Robo charges at the enemy robot with its saber]

Origami: Sephira Robo Saber, Spiritual Strike!

[The saber glows; the Sephira Robo strikes the Yrsa with it; the Yrsa gets electrified; the Sephira Robo jumps on top of the Battle Jet as it takes to the sky]

Origami and Kurumi: Let's finish this!

All 12 Spirit Soldiers: Flying Spiritual Strike! FINAL ATTACK!

[The Sephira Robo's saber glows again; the mecha soar toward the Yrsa; the Sephira Robo strikes the enemy robot with its saber; the Yrsa falls to the ground, and an explosion is shown]

Origami: Termination complete! Sephira Squadron...!

All 12: Spirit Soldiers!

[Cut back to the ground; the Wizards, the Chipmunks, and Brittany cheer; the Spirit Soldiers jump out of the cockpits and join the others; they revert to normal]

Ryouko: You guys were amazing!

Origami: And I see you sent Busby packing.

Mikie: We owe much of it to your chipmunk friends, and Mana, too.

Mana: [smiles shyly] It was nothing, really. But I'll never forgive that bitch for calling you a pantywaist, Big Brother.

Shido: [pats Mana on the head] You never fail to make a brother proud.

[Mana blushes and giggles]

Ryouko: But the real hero is Origami. The way she beat Busby without transforming or using any weapons proved she was worthy of doing anything her heart tells her to. Origami, you've chosen a very worthy path. I'll never doubt you again. You and the Spirit Soldiers deserve my praise.

Origami: [bows] Thank you, Captain.

Ryouko: [pats Origami on the head] Hey. Call me Ryouko.

[She and Origami laugh and embrace]

Origami: Anything you say, Ryouko. Come on. Let's get back to the warehouse.

[Back at Neo-DEM HQ, in JB's office, JB slams her fist on her desk]

JB: Outclassed by novices. The Anti-Spirit Team and the Spirit Soldiers will regret this someday. [clenches her fist] And it won't matter what they cook up next!

[132 Madison Street, 5:04pm]

[Mildred presents Shido's group with blueprints for a new mecha]

Mildred: The way I figure it, this new mecha will work wonders for Spirit Soldier Gold. I'm calling it the Sephira Racer.

Shido: [takes a closer look] Looks pretty amazing.

Mildred: As soon as we get it built and run some tests, you're all set.

Ryouko: Kotori, I can't thank you enough for allowing the Anti-Spirit Team to be a part of Ratatoskr.

Kotori: My pleasure, Ryouko. But you should thank Elliot Woodman. After all, he approved this.

Ryouko: But it was your suggestion, wasn't it?

[Kotori smiles; the two shake hands]

Ryouko: If you Spirit Soldiers ever need us, just give us a call. [winks; turns to Origami] And if you ever need a babysitter, Origami, I'm all-in.

Origami: Thank you, Ryouko.

[Chiyo giggles]

Ryouko: [blushes] Chiyo's just too cute. Can I hold her?

[Origami hands Chiyo to her; Ryouko cradles the baby in her arms]

Ryouko: Oh, Chiyo, I know you're too young to understand this, but for a long time, your mom and I had been good friends. She's been like my little sister. I guess that kinda makes me your auntie. [strokes Chiyo's head] This could be the start of an adorable friendship.

[Kurumi, holding Kazumi, watches]

Kurumi: You know, Kazumi, if my friend Sawa were still around, she'd probably be doing the same thing Auntie Ryouko's doing, but with you.

[Kazumi giggles]



Shido: Next time: The Sephira Racer.
