Hitomi returns with her friends and the Mysterious Mr. (unpronouncable symbol) to Allen's fortress. It becomes immediately apparent to everyone that the Mohawked One was just not himself... For one thing, he lost all interest in his van and had seemed to have gained a rabid new interest in silk shirts with LOTS of ruffles on them.... For another thing, all he seemed to want to do was sing songs, many of which were actually pretty good, but most of which seemed to be of a rather er...risque nature....

Hitomi and her friends tried to cope with these changes as best they could...

"Of course," Allen shrugs, "That's probably because he's been raiding my wardrobe..."

The Artist continues his song...

"Come on, get your freak on
It'll make U feel much better - come on , baby, let's go!
(Lemme see U get down)
Oh! ---

---At this point, the Mole Man pops up out of nowhere, scaring the bejeezus out of everyone...

"Hey," he says, scratching his head, "Just how long we gotta sit and listen to this Mr. T guy anyway? When is he finally going to get around to helping us finish off the Forces of Zaibach?"

It's a good question. Hitomi sits, grasping her knees, her mind deep in thought...

At that moment, in a floating fortress far away, Lord Dornkirk is breathing a sigh of relief. His plan to transform Mr. T into an '80's pop culture icon with a personality inversely opposed to his own had been a success. Now, the second phase of Dornkirk's plan could go forward.

...With the help of Folken and his most trusted servants...

The leopard twins,- Naria and Eriya. Lord Folken had found these two when they were children and he had raised them to be skilled fighters in Zaibach's army... Now, they are fiercely loyal to Folken and his every wish is their command...

Within minutes, the twins are guiding their Teiring guymelefs towards the unsuspecting kingdom of Asturia...
