SFX: Beep

SFX: Twitch

Misaki: I was looking for a decoy target...
Misaki: and look what I found.

02

SFX: Zwam

Junko: If you need a vanguard, I could-
Misaki: Restrain yourself this time.

Misaki: We need a monster to fight a monster☆

Misaki: To pay for all the trouble you caused in Tokiwadai...
Misaki: I need you to play the opening act in my plan ability.

Yuiitsu: What a pain. But okay.
Yuiitsu: I had predicted this as a possibility.
Yuiitsu: And I too am interested in Synthesize Grid.

Yuiitsu: But being bossed around by a brat is a lot more irritating than I predicted.
Yuiitsu: I will get you for this, Holstein.

03

Misaki: Do I need to push your affection up to max?
SFX: Shake shake

Yuiitsu: Okay, okay. I am your loyal pet, my master.
Yuiitsu(outside): Woof, woof

Misaki: Maybe I should take you around the school for some puppy play.
Junko: How dare you speak to the Queen that way!

Misaki: I need to catch the Previous #1 off guard.
Misaki: For that, I will use Mental Out to make everyone...
Misaki: see you as "me".
Misaki(outside): I'll generally be in control, but you handle the fighting
Misaki(diagram): Now you can rest easy...
Text: Real
"Misaki"(diagram): Now you can rest easy...
Text: Fake (Yuiitsu)
Yuiitsu: But isn't the cube immune to Mental Out?

Misaki: Ordinarily, yes.
Misaki: But I can indirectly fool her by tricking the body she's controlling.

Misaki: If the Previous #1 sees you as me, we can begin.
Misaki: If it doesn't, we withdraw and come up with something else.
Misaki(outside): By the way, the cube has artificial senses, but she's bound to the controlled body's senses when fully possessing it.

04

Junko: Use this bag, uniform, and wig.
Junko(outside): Take good care of them!
Misaki: We want all the help we can get in tricking her☆
Yuiitsu: Huh?

Yuiitsu: We're safe?
SFX: Roar
Misaki: Did you do this?
PG: It will not last long.

05

Misaki: What did you mean by the critical point?
PG: That an explosion is imminent.
PG: Synthesize Grid's power eats into our bodies as well.
PG: This happens when that goes too far.
PG: The cube will collapse before long.
SFX: Roar

PG: The released torrent of Synthesize Grid will reduce Academy City to dust.

Yuiitsu: We can't have that.
PG: All hope is lost if the cube collapses.

PG: But there is no stopping it now.
PG: I am just barely holding it back...

06

PG: but I will eventually reach my own critical point.
SFX: Roar

Misaki: Is there nothing we can do?

PG: Run as far as you can.

PG: I swear on my pride as the #1 Level 5...
PG: I will at least ensure mutual destruction.

Misaki: You mean...?

SFX: Roar

PG: I have been dealing with my power ever since I was born.
PG: It is my one pride.

07

PG: And my only friend.

PG: So I was truly happy when I was made the #1 Level 5.
PG: I lived my life...
PG: as repayment for that honor.

PG: I trampled countless foes...
PG: suppressed rebellious elements...
PG: and killed them all.

PG: The next thing I knew, I had become a monster myself.

08

PG: And in the end...
PG: I wound up like this.

PG: But I have not fallen so far I cannot clean up after my other half.

PG: Now is a time for adults.
SFX: Roar
PG: So I ask the students to leave.
PG: Take care.

Misaki: That critical point ability.

09

Misaki: Could you avoid it if you shared the burden with me?

PG: What...are you saying?

Misaki: I'm telling you to use my body.
Misaki(small): A rare privilege☆

PG: You fool!
PG: Forget these strange ideas and flee!
Misaki: You're no fun.

PG: I can't take a child with me to the grave!!

10

Misaki: And I can't let you parents die in front of their child!!

SFX: Fwoosh

11

PG: And what will you do?
PG: It will take a lot to stop this.

Misaki: I'll search her memory.
Misaki: If I know the "original motive" that started all this...
Misaki: we might just have a chance.
