Cop 1: Mr. Stue. You're all good. We're dropping all charges.
Garry: Seriously?
Cop 2: Yeah, we checked the footage. Turns out it was just Koronova messing with you. And we can forget that whole glue gun thing. A friend of yours confirmed that it belongs to your house. As for the glue, it'll dry out, and it caught nothing.
Cop 1: Even then, someone wanted to pay your bail.
Garry: Who?
Cop 1: They're in the lobby.
Cop 2: Anyways, for your effort in catching Koronova, we'll give you the bounty anyways.

Record Scratch

In the present...

Seb: That didn't happen.
Garry: It did, Midget! You weren' there!
Mari: I'm doubting that. Still, who bailed you out- I mean, tried to bail you out?
Akari: Selina and I did.
Mari: Oh.
Seb: Anyways, the lie's blatant. If he actually had the money, where is it? It's been a day since that whole thing.
Garry: Shaddup, ya half-pint half wit! Anyways, I'm gettin that bounty later.

The others glance at each other, and stare at Garry.

Seb: Wait, what?
Akari: You really are a new class of idiot...
Selina: No offense, Garry, but, you got completely curb-stomped. Plus, what are you planning to do again? Use another glue trap against Koronova, who beat you, according to the footage description, while not touching the ground once?
Garry: Not true. I had her in a chokehold, and she did fall on her butt on the ground. I came close!
Seb: It all went wrong when you tried knocking her out. You hit your own head, and barely harmed her.
Akari: Besides, even if you opted for a rematch, you don't know what she has up her sleeve. According to you, she had some sort of floating power, alleviating the Glue Gun's threat entirely, emitted yellow gas, which, mind you, none of us know the capabilities of, and seems to know a ton about fighting. What made you think that Glue Gun would be useful after seeing that?
Garry: And that's not counting the fact that she caught me by surprise.
Selina: Let me put this in a way you can understand. You going against Koronova like that is like fitting wheels on a tomato.
Garry: Meaning?
Selina: Futile. Absolutely futile.
Mari: Like trying to use an eraser on a marker.
Akari: Or a baby comprehending String Theory.
Garry: What about tha-
Akari: A non-fictional baby.

Akari just glances off to a wall for some reason, rubbing her shoulder. Seb does the same glance, and both just turn back to their friends.

Garry: Oh, shut up!

Akari: 10 bucks says he comes back with broken knees.
Selina: You're on.

The duo watched Garry storm off, more than likely to get back on Koronova's trail.

Garry: Damn, stupid, stupid, STEW-PID Succubus. What does she know- EACKACH!

Garry's head is turned to stone in what seemed to be retribution. Due to the imbalance in weight resulting, he falls over.

Seb: What? Y- huh?! You can do that?!
Selina: You don't know everything about me. Besides, that's a very, very old spell. You see...

Meanwhile, Garry removes his stoned head, to regrow a new one.

Garry: Jerk@$$.

Some time later, at a mall's Hunting Shop...

Garry: You got any Thermal Detectors?
Cashier: Nope.
Garry: What about Night Vision scopes?
Cashier: Sold the last one.
Garry: Dammit!

Garry slammed his fist on the counter, causing the register to somehow open.

Garry: My bad.
Cashier: This ain't a hol' up, is it?
Garry: No, nononono-

Garry quite literally got grabbed, and pushed outta the shop by security.

Garry: Why did that have to happen?! Right when I could've asked for a bear trap!
???: That's tough, buddy. Real tough.
Garry: Yeah! It's like someone's delib'rately tryna derail me. Wait, who-

Garry's target, Koronova, was standing right there, wearing a white beret to go with the rest of that weird outfit she wore, and waving casually.

Koronova: Hiii~
Garry: WHAT THE-?!

The Vigilante in white and gold launched some cables from a bracelet, and zip lined up.

Garry (Thinking): Why would she be out in the open like this if there's nothing going on? And what's with that beret?

Garry ran after Koronova like a nut head.

Garry: Not this time, you damn vigilante.

Koronova, now using her Repulsion Boots on their Anti-G setting, floats above her bald foe, before sending out yellow gas from both bracelets.

Koronova: I gotta give you credit for the tenacity! But I'm not here to taunt you.

Everyone who inhaled the gas started coughing for a moment, before breaking out into fits of yodeling. With varying degrees of success, though.

Garry: EEYADOLAAAYHEEEE-YOOOUUU BIAOOHAYAHEEE!

Meanwhile, the dark skinned fighter deactivated her boots, and landed right on a short, trenchcoat wearing woman, resulting in many wallets spilling out from aforementioned coat.

Koronova: Gotta say, the sheer amount of wallets you took. Impressive. But, I can't let you keep em.

Koronova reached into the gray holster on her belt, and pulled out a pair of handcuffs.

Koronova: I'll just leave you with my old friend, Johnathan T. Law...

The Blue-Haired Vigilante's pseudo-flirty and sweet voice trailed off as she heard the sound of husky, loud, furious yodeling coming her way.

Koronova: Him again? He just can't get enough.

The 'Nova Vigilante threw a punch at Garry, only for him to baseball-slide under it, and perform a football tackle, pinning her to the floor. In that moment, the pickpocket took her chance to make a run for it.

Garry: Nice try, Nova. It'll take more than that to get one over on the Mighty GarrEEEEEEE!

In all his gloating, the narcissistic and hairless teen had loosened his grip on Koronova, giving her the opportunity to aim a bracelet at him, and tase him to the floor.

Koronova: This guy has a real shouting issue. And thank god the janitors just buffet that floor.

Koronova got up, and used the Stealth Generator on her suit to go invisible, and walk off, angry.

Koronova: He ended up causing that thief to get away. Well, at least I know someone who can handle her for me.

Much later...

The Friend Group are watching a "Breaking News" bulletin detailing the rematch between Garry and Koronova.

Reporter 1: Yes, you heard us right. The infamous, hot new vigilante, Koronova, was sighted again at the Mall of the Millennium.
Reporter 2: You better hope your wife ain't watching right now. Haha!
Reporter 1: You know that's not what I'm saying, in the slightest.

The Bantering Newscasters chuckled.

Reporter 1: Witnesses state that the suspect in question had attempted to thwart a pickpocket, only to be cut off by one of the younger bounty hunters...

Garry: Well, it's official. I'm now a bounty hunter. Fighting for all- ACK!

PC slaps the lanky egoist with a tentacle.

PC: Shut up, Toothpick. We're watching.
Garry: YOU SHUT UP, PARASITE!

The two briefly start fistfighting, while the others just watch the report.

Reporter 2: The young man after this vigilante's bounty will remain anonymous, but we will call him "Green".
Reporter 1: "Green" unintentionally allowed the pickpocket to get away, leaving us stumped as to priority. But he did nearly catch the vigilante. If only he didn't get so hammy. Evan, roll the tape.

A security camera's recording is brought onscreen, the entire event. Garry managing to pin Koronova down, him losing his grip to mock, and they put a bunch of emphasis on the tasing bit.

Reporter 2: If that isn't entertaining, I don't know what is.
Seb: Pffff... [Beep] Right.
Nab: He came so close too.
Psy: Missed it by that much.

Meanwhile, Ruby stops the conflict by burning Garry, and kicking him off, sending him back to his seat.

Reporter 1: And in related news, the very pickpocket that got away with 10,000 in fine leather wallets was beaten spontaneously to lack of consciousness by the wallets she herself stole. A witness said "They just jumped out, swarmed her, and flew back to their owners". Detectives are stumped.

Seb and Nab snicker at this, fist-bumping.

Garry: Damn vigilante...
