Garry is seen sitting a small restaurant, on a stool at the window counters.

Garry: How does she do it? It should be so easy to bag 'er, she's a damn sore thumb anywhere she goes. And yet, the lil' Jobby always manages ta slip away from everyone.
???: Look over here, hm?
Garry: I best get back to bounty huntin' so make it-

The moment Garry turned over, he was staring at the cyan haired target he was just complaining about. His eyes escaped his sockets as he screamed in alarm.

Garry: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...
Koronova: You're never getting my bounty~
Garry: AAAAAAAA... (Cough) You... Ya know that's pure riddy, ya walloping cow!
Barkeep: Shut it!

Garry is abruptly struck on the head with a metal container, knocking him silly. Thankfully, his eyes fixed themselves.

Koronova: Good riddance.

She kicks him with one of her high-heeled Gravity Boots, striding off afterward. Meanwhile, the barkeep just watches her leave.

——

Some time later...

Koronova is seen entering an alleyway, going pretty far in.

Koronova: He's getting bolder. Angrier. If I relied on his ego being his downfall, I'd be apprehended before he could say "Antidote".

The bodysuit-wearing fighter grabs at a spot in her hair.

Koronova: Someone has to get him to abandon targeting me. But how?

The cyan hair is slowly removed, revealing slightly shorter blonde hair. While this occurs, the gold-rimmed goggles deactivate, falling in the vigilante's other hand.

Koronova: He won't listen to me, no matter who I present myself as.

Once the wig's fully off, a silhouette of a similar hairstyle, albeit with ruffled locks reassembling cat ears is shown. These are fixed a bit by the now unmasked, but concealed Vigilante.

Akari: That level of madness... Just wake up, Garry. Quit while you're ahead.
——
Meanwhile, Seb, Binx, Cherry, and Aria are playing UNO.

Binx: UNO!
Seb: Tengo diez cartas y...

Seb writes the words "All +4 cards on my deck" under the table, and his cards are transformed into a bunch of +4 cards.

Seb: Sorry for this one, Aria:

Seb puts down one of his "+4"'s on the deck.

Aria: You don't have to worry about that, Seb. It's a game.
Cherry: You won't be saying that after my turn!
Binx: I see why you say game night with Cherry's a nightmare.
Seb: She somehow managed to get "Antidisestablishmentarianism" in Scrabble.
Cherry: Antidisestablesh- Antidisestablismentarism- That one's a tongue twister too.
——
Garry: Oooh... my neck...

The hairless toothpick gets up, groaning. He was tossed into a dumpster for causing  a commotion in that restaurant.

Garry: Tha' bleedin' git...

Garry wanders the alleyway for a bit, in an attempt to regain his bearings, proceeding to hit a wall corner as he did.

Garry: STUPID CORNER!

Garry punches the corner of the wall, only to scream in pain.

Garry: AAAGGH!

Garry storms off to a building with the abbreviation "M.I.R.A." On the top of the doorway.

Garry: Maybe Icy Hot or someone could do me a damn solid and get me somethin' to bandage me hand...

At MIRA, Winter and Psy are working on some Wiring in the office, when the lights turn off.

Psy: Dammit, wrong wire.
Winter: Psy, those ones go to the Dark Room for photos.
——
Another worker is shown developing photos when the red lightbulb flickers, and then increases in intensity to a blinding degree.

Worker: Nonono! NOOOOOOOO!
——
Psy: Then what's with the lights?
Winter: Boss must've cut the Light Bill.
???: Yeah, let's go with that.

A rough hand made its way to Winter's shoulder.

Winter: Get back!

The ironically named Winter retaliated via sending ice into the face of whoever it was. Whoever this guy was, seemed like he'd done some time.

???: Son of a-!

The figure steps back, angrily.

Psy: Gotta go!

Psy opens a portal, grabs Winter by the wrist, and jumps through. The duo land in the Decontamination Hall, while the figure storms off, cursing.

Winter: That was not a coworker...
Psy: Yeah. He acted like one though...
——
Cherry: Uno... out!

Cherry places her lone card on the deck.

Seb: Came so close too...
Binx: I would've won if you didn't keep quadrupling my cards with your damn power too, Shortstack.
Aria: It's on you if you didn't say anything before.
Binx: I- Damn...

Seb snickers a bit as Binx is stunned silent by Aria's comment.

Cherry: You walked right into that one!
——
In the MIRA HQ Reactor room...

Lockdown! Lockdown! Lockdown!

Psy: At least the Boss has the common sense to keep the Lockdown alarms up.
Winter: And thankfully he can't get through the vents. Only Seb could fit through them. I've tried.

The distant sound of a metal door being punched is heard.

???: GET BACK HERE!!!
Psy and Winter: Damn it all...
——
Nearby, in the Launchpad Elevator, Garry is walking in.

Garry: Floor 100!! No wonder Psy uses his portals so much. Maybe I should try copying it.

Garry uses his power to mold his head into Psy's hand, and open a portal. Unfortunately, the portal dispenses lightning, which strikes Garry painfully.

Garry: DAMN BAD LUCK!!!!!

Garry just storms down the halls, reaching a locker room, where he notices a brute of a man pounding the Decontamination Doors.

Garry: Here, here. Imma do it. Like so.

The Bald Bounty Hunter presses the Hand Scanner, causing the door to open, and reveal Psy and Winter.

Garry: Hey, this guy new? He's tough, but this jobby's a damn fool. Any bloke with a brain stem would know to press tha' button!
Brute: HEY!

The fugitive slammed his fist on Garry's head, flattening it like a frisbee.

Garry: Mgff hmm hrghff hm.

Garry's head molds into a giant taser, and proceeds to shock that man like a wire.

Brute: AAARGGGGHHHH!
Garry: I'm startin' to wonder if I've seen tha' face on the list of Boun'ies.
Winter: You're starting to wonder?!
——
Selina walks into the main room, only to see Aria, Binx, Cherry, and Seb bickering over some rule in a game.

Seb: It's something the devs put in. It's allowed.
Cherry: Why do they call it a cheat code then?!

Selina just turns around, leaving as the four continue bickering.

Selina: Nope.
——
Garry: Come on!!! AGGHHH!

Garry was trying to drag the brute to the elevator, but was struggling.

Garry: What kinda meds did this guy take?!

Psy: Now?
Winter: Nah, I wanna see how this ends.

Garry: Ya two butt-monkeys could hel' me out a lil, and I could get this guy behin' bars sooner!
Psy: Fine.

Psy opens a portal, which Garry and his foe fall into. The sound of mousetraps snapping is heard.

Garry: Locksworth, ya motherf- AAAAAAGHHH... Ow...

The sound of someone snickering is audible, and a white gloved hand is seen holding one of the mousetraps in its hand.

Garry: Of all the folks I had ta' run into. It had to be you...

A white-gloved hand pulls down a string to turn the lights on. Koronova once again.

Garry: I hate this so much...
Koronova: That's just too bad~

The vigilante kicked Garry's knees, and walks off, dragging the criminal away, while Garry screams.

Koronova: Thanks for the free 200,000~

The cyan-haired outlaw drags the unconscious convict away, in a stretcher she pulled from the holster.

Garry: Boun'y Huntin... It's a Dog-Eat-Dog world.
——
Much later...

Cherry: So... Cheat codes are outta the question when we're competing in video games.
Seb: So's my Rewrite. But the Ray of Purification is still fine.
Aria: What about using Binx's bullets as spare game pieces in chess?
Binx: Used ones only.
Cherry: Aaaand that's everything.

A heavily bandaged Garry storms through the door, and slams it. He's heard cursing under his breath, as he heads upstairs.

Binx: What ate him?
Aria: Just another Thursday for us.
