"and who is your rival?" vj said

"its none other than lica misto." rena said, pointing at her. "Although she may be my rival, shes also my friend in a way." rena said, with a smile

"wow! Good sportsmanship there. Now next up is contestant number 3, nikki taym!" vj said, as they passed the mic to nikki

"hey ya all!" nikki greeted the crowd

"now, what would you gain from entering this contest miss taym?" vj said

"well, thats a tough question, since i didnt think much on what i would gain from this. But i would like to say, that its all for love!" nikki said, with a heart sign

"wow! Do you mean with leo, or for the crowd?" vj said

"why not both? A girls gotta be ambitious sometimes!" nikki said, with confidence

"good choice of words there. Next up is contestant number 4! Miku steppings!" vj said, as they passed the mic to miku

"h-hi there." miku said, shyly

"so, what would you like to say to the crowd?" vj said

"im miku steppings, i love ramen, and love my friends, and more! Though i do apologize for what my dad did, even if it was only aimed at leo." miku said, nervous

"we all know a bit of the story, so letting that aside, what would you like to say to the crowd? Aside from that." vj said

"i will do my besht!" miku said, as she bit her tongue, in a cute way

Then the otaku people at the side were all thrilled by the happening, as they cheered her on. Before others applauded her.

"thanks for that, and now for the last contestant, miss lica misto!" vj said, as they passed the mic to her

"hello there people." lica said, in a cool beauty way

"ohh! Thats the school madonna for you! Such cool vibes! Now, what is your goal in this contest?" vj said

"my goal isnt to win, but to win it all." lica said

"kuhh! That was cool of you miss misto! But what do you mean by winning it all?" vj said

"by the contest, the peoples hearts, and more!" lica said, being cool about it

"ok then, thats all the conestants for now. Man, im so proud to be able to do MC in this event, even on the previous one!" vj said, as the girls all walk to the back stage. "and after the break, we will go to the talent portion, and to the swimsuit portion as well! So stay tuned!" he added

Then after the break, the girls displayed their talents. Sheryl with classical singing, rena with dancing, nikki wiith cosplay, miku with her karate, and lica with some pop rock singing.

For the swimsuit portion, sheryl was wearing a one piece swimsuit, to enhance her cuteness. Rena was wearing a top and shorts, to emphasize her boyish looks. Nikki was of course, wearing a bikini with a ponytail, and a transparent skirt, to emphasize her beauty. Miku was wearing a one piece swimsuit, while carrying an inflatable, to emphasize her cheerful cuteness. Then there is lica, who was wearing an all white bikini, emphasizing her silky skin and good proportions.

But as lica got to the backstage..

"good job there lica!" nikki said, doing a high five with her

"and the last will be the question and answer portion huh.. Just what will tbe questions be?" sheryl said

"in any case--" rena said, but lica accidentally barfed at her

"im sorry rena." lica said, as she was now being helped by nikki

"no worries lica, we better get you some attention right away." rena said, now worried

"girls! You gotta come quick!" val said from a distance, while holding her wristphone, as she was also part of the staff this time

"this is anna bard, bringing you live from new york, where im currently in the air via helicopter. Where there is a large amount of what seems to be.. The krood! Yikes! They are coming out from the subway! People are all now panicing here! As--" the newscaster said, before a krood appeared at her foot. "ahh! Get us out of here tom!"

The scene after that was now from a horror movie, where the cameraman was killed, and the newscaster was abducted, all as the helicopter went down after the pilot was killed.

"hey girls! You need to be there for leo!" a staff said

"why? Whats wrong?" val said

"hes being surrounded by men in black suits!" the staff said, before they all went to the front as fast as they can

Meanwhile, back to leo..

"sir, we need your services again!" a guy in black said

There were now about 15 or so guys in black suits, all waiting for leo to go with them.

"whats the situation?" leo said, as the situation was now all serious

"as the situation calls for it, we have no choice. In short, the krood are back." the guy in suit said

"what?! Please do tell me the details, now!" leo said

"we will brief you as we go sir." the guy in suit said

"wait, i still have to check with my girls!" leo said, before he was held back by the guy

"no sir, the situation is increadibly dire--" the guy said, before leo pulls his hand forcibly

"i dont care! What comes frist are my girls!" leo said, before the girls showed up and now wearing their jackets

"leo! Its the krood!" miku said, as the girls arrived

"yes, i know, these guys said it. For now, you girls come with me." leo said, making no wasted time

"but sir! Order are--" the guy in suit said, before he was cut off

"this is my order now! They come with us!" leo said, demanding

"alright then." the guy in suit agrees

"what about the students leo?" val said, behind the girls

"just follow instructions in the emergency manual i gave the teachers." leo said to val, before he faces towards the guys in suits. "lets go girls!" he added

Leo and the girls then rode the car, parked right outside the school, where they were taken somewhere..
