A reunion under the moonlit sky

"Ugh, why'd we end up all the way out here," Nika grumbled as she adjusted her white cloche hat.

"You're the one that got swept up in my 1 on 1," Kumi said as she looked at her phone.

"I don't like this. We ended up way out here and can't even contact Jouzu."

"The last time that happened was Paris. Oh, guess maybe we're trapped in a barrier."

"Great and what are we supposed to do?"

"Find our way back?"

"And where is that?"

"No clue. Don't even have service."

"Ugh."

"Hey, look over there! There's something weird shining in the moonlight."

"Miku! Ugh, don't run off when we can barely see a thing!"

As Nika caught up to Kumi, she noticed two gagged girls buried up to their necks in the ground. One had forest green hair while the other had magenta hair styled in twintails.

Nika and Kumi instantly recognized the girl.

"Ugh, why her?" Nika groaned.

"Long time no see cous," Kumi smiled as she removed the girl's gag.

Tears began to well up in the girl's eyes as she recognized Nika and Kumi.

"NIKA, MIKU!"

The twintailed girl was indeed Yuni, Nika and Kumi's cousin. The green haired girl was Serika, Yuni's friend.

Kumi then turned into lightning and freed Yuni before she knew it.

"H- how did you do that so fast!?" Yuni stuttered.

"Just watch and film me for your friend," Kumi grinned as she tossed her phone to Yuni.

Yuni filmed Kumi freeing Serika, but was unable to make out what happened.

"That was WAY too fast! Who the hell are you!?" Serika glared.

"69 mil Kumi duh, and it was supposed to be fast. I can turn into lightning after all," Kumi smirked as yellow lightning crackled in her palm.

"THE HELL!?"

"Wait, were you also modified like Kasumi?" Yuni nervously asked.

"Nah, I got my powers after joining Jouzu and becoming his girlfriend," Kumi smiled as she took back her phone.

Serika and Yuni shot confused and worried glances as Nika sighed and stepped forward.

"Some guy saved me in Venice, had me and Miku join his party, gave us super powers, then dragged us along on a dangerous adventure," Nika growled.

"Nika? Is it really you and Miku?" Yuni asked.

"YES you idiot! Though I really don't want to see you. I'm in a bad mood as is."

Suddenly, a white van pulled up to the four girls.

"Four girls are outside, there appears to be some kind of timer counting down near them as well," the driver said.

"Describe the girls," a woman inside the van stated.

"One has forest green hair and is wearing a chartreuse dress, hat, and sneakers. Another one has long multicolored hair wearing a neon multicolored jacket, bikini top, shorts and sneakers. The third is wearing a teal dress, white dress shoes and a white cloche hat and has magenta hair. The last one has magenta twintails and is wearing a cardigan, skirt, thigh-high socks and pink hi-top sneakers."

The two women in the back seat leaned forward and gazed out the window.

"It's definitely Yuni. I can also recognize Nika. Miku looks different, but she apparently changed up her image when she started posting those videos. I don't recognize the other girl though," one said.

The other woman smiled and placed her hand on the other woman's shoulder.

"HUH!? She's the girl Reika saved that's the daughter of Ruchi Ookuma!? And you know- the dress? Wait, the hat? I guess this means they're either real or- Wait, how can you tell they're real from here? *Sigh* Fine! Maria, be on guard," the woman ordered.

The van then drove around and rolled down one of it's rear windows.

A woman with blonde hair and half her face burnt looked out at the girls. Serika gasped, while Kumi's eyes went wide with shock. Nika glared while Yuni teared up and began running towards the van.

"OKA-SAN!" she tearfully shouted.

The blonde woman was none other than the infamous underground journalist as well as Yuni's mother and Nika and Kumi's aunt, Fubuki Dakota. She had been captured and had her tongue cut out by Kasumi, but thanks to her aide Maria and twin sister Hitomi, she was able to escape. Hitomi, the triplet's mother, then traveled with Fubuki and acted as her translator thanks to the twin mind link they shared.

Fubuki smiled and opened the door as Yuni leapt in and embraced her in a tearful hug.

"YOU LOOK HORRIBLE! I WAS SO WORRIED I'D NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!"

"Yuni, you've grown up so much since I last saw you. I'm sorry I screwed up on your birthday all those years ago," Hitomi said for Fubuki.

"AUNT HITOMI! I knew it was you giving my mother her voice," Yuni tearfully smiled.

"Did she just say mother's name!?" Nika asked as she began running towards the van.

Nika began to tear up as she saw her mother's face.

Unlike Fubuki, Hitomi had undyed pink hair and no scars or injuries. She looked just the same as she did when she left home nearly 3 years ago.

"MOTHER! WHY DID YOU JUST LEAVE US LIKE THAT!? I WAS SO DISTRAUGHT! I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FIND YOU FOR YEARS!" Nika cried.

Fubuki turned and smiled towards Hitomi as she comforted Yuni. Hitomi sighed and got out of the van to greet Nika. Nika hugged her and cried into her breasts.

"I'm sorry Nika. I've been a terrible mother," Hitomi tearfully sighed.

"Oh, um. I'm... here too," Kumi awkwardly said.

"Miku, it's fine. I wont chastise you for your... work."

"Yeah, sorry, I'm just not good with stuff like this," Kumi said as she turned to avoid anyone seeing her cry.

Serika relaxed a little as she watched the emotional reunion before her.
