A grand combo finish was performed with all the agents along with musical accompaniment from Agent Kai on the drums and kunai shots from Suzume.. and Boy Poison was defeated. Agent Mireya rooted for them back at the Epoch.. and soon the agents returned back to the school and went home.

Telling them the rumours placed him in a city in the South, agents took a carriage and two bikes to ride there, where the road was fraught with marauders.
[show details]
- Making it to South City, formerly known as Hong Kong, the agents encountered some of the Holy Nanto Army's troops, abusing their prisoners, and encountered two of the Nanto Shitennou, Wu Tang and Sinatra. Almost disabling Wu Tang until the latter saved him, and told them of Kenshiro's predicament, as a prisoner of the Holy Nanto Army, due to their hostages. The group decided to go save the hostages while agent Hokage offered to go keep an eye on what they were doing to Kenshiro.
- Once they got to the hostages, agents began fighting one of the Shitennou, Nirvana, who was a master of Nanto Suichou Ken. Avoiding and fighting off attacks from many of them, he was finally defeated by agents Hibiki and Saotome in a three part high powered attack, while agents Ryosuke and Apple saved the hostages. Agents Uchiha and Kakita, meanwhile, defeated Nirvana's prison guards. After the encounter, however, a man took over Hokage's comm and said he would throw him to the Nanto Sei Ken practitioners. Which he did.
- The group made it to the center of the city, seeing Hokage and Kenshiro bleeding and in bad sorts, with Ozzy and the man called Odio were watching the spectacle. A fight broke out, and after a few moments, agent Uchiha stunned and agent Aku released his guardian, the Broken Heart, and both defeated Nirvana and purified his soul through his fist, making him turn on Ozzy for his manipulations. Meanwhile, Kenshiro woke up, and asked if the hostages were clear. When agent Saotome Izumi acquiesed, Kenshiro freed himself and took on every single Nanto Sei Ken practitioner there, leaving the PARADIGM agents to fight the Shitennou.
- Aku's dragon almost managed to eat Ozzy, the self-styled Holy Emperor, and Sinatra was impaled by agent Uchiha's sword, but both were saved, by unknown reasons. They were deafted, however, by Saotome Izumi's All Creation, while agents Kiske and Saotome Ryosuke defeated Wu Tang, leaving Odio fighting Kenshiro, Saotome Izumi, Hokage, Apple and Tyler. Due to Tyler's arrogance, Odio tortured him, bypassing all agents' defenses and protections until a lucky hit by Kenshiro and a triple technique by the Saotomes and Kenshiro cleared out the skies, revealing the sun, and chasing away Odio. After this, Kenshiro thanked the agents, before walking off, as more justice was needed in the world.

- Location: Innsmouth
- Client: Ruri Hadou
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Ruri Hadou, President of the Hadou Financial Group met with the agents once they appeared in her office building and explained the problem.
[show details]
- It turns out that on Ruri's lands there is a summer resort with people being reported missing. Ruri believed it was something supernatural as this had happened before, however, her usual agent had been sent to another organization and she was told that PARADIGM could help her. Her butler, Winfield, gave the agents paperwork and everything they needed to get settled at the resort along with the coordinates to get there (it was faster to just take the Epoch). Once the agents arrived on the beach, Agent Belle went to check the wilderness part of the island and agent Seijou sent his servant Rider to also explore that region. Mireya and Aku checked out the resort itself as the rest of the agents stayed on the beach.
- Eventually the agents on the beach were surprised by a strange green-haired man who called himself Doctor West. He explained that his beloved gynoid, Elsa, had gone missing. He provided them with a GPS to locate her though at the time it was not functional. He also ranted like a nutcase, asking for permission to use Leben, Mireya, and Tonic as bait (the other agents said no) and then Doctor West retreated to the resort just as Belle and Rider returned. Belle's body was affected by some sort of gas coming from the wilderness part of the island and all of the agents decided to regroup and explore that area with caution.
- As the agents went through the wilderness they came upon a broken down looking temple with many magical glyphs that prevented scrying capabilities. Agents then pressed on inside of the temple and one of the seals triggered, letting lose a fish-man-like monster. The monster attacked Mireya, Belle, and Jaden but with combined efforts, the monster was killed. The remains of the monster then triggered strong pheromone-like effects on a few of the agents, like Jach, Mireya, Belle, and Tonic.. but they were able to get a hold of themselves and press on into the temple.
- Deep inside of the temple the group witnessed monstrosities.. many drugged women were being taken advantage of by the Deep Ones (the fish-men) and a man was sitting on a throne at the top of an altar, witnessing the entire thing. The agents then engaged against the Deep Ones with a 'distraction' from Belle.. and were being careful not to spill the Deep Ones' blood. The man fled and warned the agents that he had gained enough power to be able to summon a Hydra. Agent Faustlin was able to locate and take Elsa away from the altar and Tonic was able to grab another one of the girls.. and just when the Hydra was about to be summoned, a combined effort from Jaden, Seijou, Nikolai and Ian cracked the glyph and prevented the monster from coming into their world.
- Agents then returned back to the beach with the girls (Elsa helped knock them out).. and then the agents returned to Ruri and ultimately went back to the Inn to let the pheromones wear off.

- Description: Something strange is going on Arkham Asylum, and the Exobyte Heroes are powerless to stop it.
- Rank: B
- Genre: Heroic Adventure
- Location: Arkham Asylum, Gotham City
- Client: Commissioner Gordon.
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Called to Arkham Asylum by Commissioner James Gordon, the Agents appeared inside the entrance hall of an incredibly secure and well maintained Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
[show details]
- Meeting the staff, the commissioner, and Batman and Robin, the agents were briefed on the situation. Poison Ivy, Mister Freeze and the Scarecrow were running a riot in the Asylum, and the presence of Exobyte suppression technology made the heroes dangerously understaffed. Following Batman's directions, he was accompanied by agent Hokage, and let the agents organized themselves while he looked into the breakout.
- Agents moved into the East Wing to fight Mister Freeze, where harsh weather conditions made the fighting difficult, and Freeze's men, especially the giant called Cold Cut, made it hard for them to reach him before he shut down all power to the Asylum. Mr. Freeze himself was quite the challenge, with his climate controlled, strength enhancing suit and cold-generating weapons, as well as the presence of Freeze's combat robots, called Therminators. Agent Lucy re-activated the furnaces and generators in the machinery room while the other agents took on and disabled the Therminators and Freeze, who ran away by spraying the room with liquid nitrogen.
- Making their way back to the main hall, agents were told that Batman and Hokage were going to meet them in the Atrium area, taken over by Poison Ivy, while they finished their investigation. Agents met up with the newcomer, agent Leben, and ventured into the west wing treatment area, rapidly encountering a mass hallucination of the Scarecrow, which was in fact one of his agents, attempting to infect them with the fear gas. The agents fought their way past Scarecrow's men, and met many patients in suicidal or catatonic states, due to the fear effects on them. Fighting their way past the inmates and occasional hired thugs, some agents began to experience more personal hallucinations and terrors, until they confronted the Scarecrow, who treated them like a therapy group. Due to agent Apple's immunity to the toxin, however, she was able to locate him amidst the gas, which let the agents defeat him. However, the Scarecrow managed to run away.
- After an odd message from agent Hokage and lack of communication from Batman, the agents deduced that they might be under Ivy's thrall, as mind-control is one of her abilities, and were joined by agent Jackal, while agent Ishigami had to take a slight break to recompose himself and let the antidote work it's way in every agent's system, to counter the fear toxin. Aside from an encounter with an animated tree due to agent Kiske's distraction, the agents were able to sneak past into the Atrium, while agent Uchiha left her clone behind to attack the plants with fire. Poison Ivy attempted to kill the agents, but the attack on the plants broke her spirit, which let them subdue her, and bring her back out.
- Following the last GPS tracking of Batman's suit, Robin told the agents where Batman and Hokage were most likely held, and fighting their way past crazed inmates and Mr. Freeze's strongest men, they made it to a room where both were being held. With agents Jackal and Kiske attacking Mr. Freeze and Scarecrow, agents Leben and Uchiha went to their allies, rescued them and injected them with the antidotes to both Ivy and Scarecrow's poisons. Upon being freed, they joined the fray, and with short time and through numbers, the agents and the Batman took down the fleeing Scarecrow and disarmed Mr. Freeze. It was then revealed that the one being the breakout was the director of the Asylum, Jeremiah Arkham.
- Batman made an offer to the agents, preferring to grant them technology to assist them than paying money for doing the right thing, and let them onto the Tech Wing of the Watchtower, where they met with Nightwing and Batgirl, and were offered a specialized suit with the motif of Batman, which could be customized to their preferences. Agents then went back home, to deal with the after effects of the mission and rest.
Operation #72: Fight in the Farmstead!

- Rank: C
- Genre: Fantasy/Action
- Location: Fei Wo Lu Di Farming Village
- Client: General Iroh
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: EARTH! FIRE! WATER!... Wood?
[show details]
- The group arrived on a cliff overlooking a valley with a farming village in it. General Iroh and a woman from the village, Qi Shan, were both there to welcome PARADIGM and to fill them in on what was going on. Element Benders had come into town, essentially taking it over. Anyone from the town who resisted were placed into makeshift cells behind the Saloon.
- The agents made their way into the village, which seemed abandoned, save for one guy, named Kui, who was leaning against the entrance to the General Store. He told them to leave, or face the wrath of Tri-Force (the name the bandits gave themselves,) but the agents refused, so he called in for backup. Three men walked out for the General Store and joined him. To prove his point, Kui used his Earthbending to launch Shiro away, but Apple grabbed him in time. That was enough to start the fight. Shiro, Izumi, and Kai worked together to kick, punch, and water deluge Kui to the ground, while the others were easily taken out by the agents. Motonari had a little difficulty trying to down a particularly agile bandit, but the well timed arrival of Ryosuke helped put an end to the bandit. After the four were taken down, a desperate Kui tried to bargain with the agents, telling them where the Tri-Force leaders were. He remained bound with his colleagues. Kamuro left behind one of his Earth Golems to watch over them as they moved on.
- The agents started walking through the village, and when they were in the center, with the Saloon just up ahead, several screams pierced the air. A lone figure walked onto the Saloon porch, and declared that if the agents came any closer, the hostages would be dead. After some quick thinking and deliberation, the agents split up their abilities, and saved the villagers from their captures. Apple used roots to subdue an unarmed fighter man. Shiro used his speed and agility to sneak into one of those homes to get the drop on a Waterbender threatening children. Motonari used his blades to cripple the arm of a Firebender. Kai rushed into a home whose bandit captor ended up sharing dinner with his hostages. And Kaleido Ruby ended up using her Kaleid Liner to shoot a knife wielding bandit, but not before taking a throwing knife to the leg.
- Once all the hostages were rescued, the real showdown began. The man on the porch, another Earthbender, raised a large wall of earth between the heroes and the Saloon.. and once it dropped again, there were three men standing there. The Earthbender called himself Long Hueng. His new companions were Renko, a Firebender, and Manska, a Waterbender. However, before the showdown could begin, it turned out that Qi Shan had alerted more than the United Forces of the incident, as the Earth Kingdom's Army showed up to help take care of the bandits, and cart them off to prison. No one was injured, and the Agents got to go home unscathed.

- Client: Sebastian Shaw
- Status: Closed
- Synopsis: Agents found themselves in front of the prestigious Hellfire Club located in New York City. Agents were greeted at the door by security but then given clearance to meet with Sebastian Shaw, the proprietor.
[show details]
- Shaw explained that a truck manufacturing facility in New York was apparently illegally producing Sentinels and may be linked to terrorist attacks against mutants. Shaw said that it would implicate mutants if he asked for help from the people who were available to him from New York and it would be cleaner if PARADIGM was involved instead. The agents also agreed to do extra reconnaissance to get proof that the facility was doing their illegal manufacturing. Shaw's secretary, Ava H. Doe, then arrived with information on the facility including a map (that didn't include the underground parts) as well as Epoch coordinates. Agents then left and used the Epoch to go to the facility.
- Agents then were able to get past the guards and break into the facility. Agent Fakir was able to reprogram the cameras as well as tap into the guards radio frequency to make sure that their path was clear. Agent Daichi transformed into Dark and was able to open the locks to help everyone get inside. After a surprise from a guard, agents were able to successfully knock him out and then continue to the shipping area, where a hidden elevator lead the agents to where the sentinels were being produced. Agent Takeo scouted ahead and made sure things were clear. Leben hooked into one of the terminals to start gaining information on the company and disabling the security systems. Fakir and Dark went to the R&D area to see if they could get more implicating info. The other agents went into the production area to destroy the sentinels made. Agent Venus successfully rewired the assembly line so that they line would take apart the ready made sentinels.
- While things seemed to be going smoothly, it seemed like one of the Sentinels was already activated and had its own programming. It attacked the agents in the production room. Agent Prae Shinra transformed into Kaleido Ruby and fought the sentinel along with Dominic Lalance. With a combined effort from all the agents, they were able to break off chunks of it's armor (including making it replace its eyes from Dark's feather attack).. and then the security systems were triggered by Fakir, completely annihilating the sentinel. The agents then regrouped and left the facility and dropped off the information to Shaw back at the club.
- Shaw was very impressed with the thoroughness of PARADIGM and said he looked forward to working with them again in the future. The agents then returned back to the Inn.

- Synopsis: Agents appeared inside the Ohtori Academy campus and made their way inside the Observatory Building to meet their contact, Akio Ohtori.
[show details]
- Akio explained to them that there were missing students and rumors of an old dormitory being haunted. Agent Tatsuya had been previously contacted and warned that in fact a Horror had taken residence inside of that dormitory. Once the agents were pointed into the right direction, they proceeded towards the haunted building. A few agents were able to spot someone with blonde hair running through the hallways on the second floor. Agent Loki, Samhain, and Tatsuya were also feeling a supernatural anomaly on the thirteenth floor of the dorm. As the group proceeded up the stairs they heard a scream and rushed upstairs in time to find the blonde haired girl being pinned to the floor by a delusional boy.
- The boy was then separated from the girl and agent Maggie was able to help convince the boy to leave the dorm instead of exacting revenge on the blonde haired girl whom he was blaming for 'eating Kaori'. The blonde haired girl was chased into the shadows and emerged in her true horror form -- dealing painful blows to many of the agents and incapacitating agent Setsuna. With combined efforts from agent Haruka and agent Mori Motonari, the horrors' armor cracked badly and was eventually killed with a finishing move from Maggie's Tarot Champion and Tatsuya's Golden Fang Garo form. The horror's blood tainted many of the agents weapons but was mostly absorbed by agent Nikolai's weapon, Durandal.
- Once the horror was dead, the agents proceeded towards the anomaly on the thirteenth floor and found a Yin Gate being opened by the presence of a Jewelry Box inside the girls' bathroom. Agent Loki and Agent Samhain were able to get a glimpse of what tempted the blonde haired girl into accepting the horrors presence and Tatsuya destroyed the Yin Gate. The Agents then returned to the observatory and then went home. Agent Tatsuya also took the agents to see his watchdog, Bayou, in order to purify their weapons from the Horror's blood.

- They meet with Commission Reed who briefs the trio on the blob. It came from one of the subway stations, and although it is not obliterating anything outright, it does crush anything in its path. The group go to the blob's location, and discover, partially through Takeo Masaki's experiments, that it grows when it is met with any sort of mass, although it is difficult to slow down.
- After a while of chasing it and conjecture, the group decide to entrap the blob in a giant hole or crater. However, by the time Shiro was able to locate a suitable locale, the blob was 4 stories tall, and the width of an entire street, sidewalks and all. After some back and forth between Takeo, Shiro, and Aaron Weber, Takeo decides to become a living guinea pig, and dives into the monster itself to see what he can learn about it. Before he is squished to death, he teleports out. That triggered something within the blob, and shortly thereafter, it exploded, leaving smelly, fleshy chunks in a four block radius of where it was. The chunks soon began to dissolve.
- Where the blob blew up, Shiro found a medical bracelet, with the words "Subject 23SD" written on it. Takeo took the bracelet back to the Inn to study, and appraised Commissioner Reed of what was going on. Commissioner Reed will do some follow-up based on Takeo's recommendations and will follow through via communication if anything comes up.
- The Epoch smelled like an anime convention for a few days afterward.

- Synopsis: A pair of boys from the 'burbs need help finding their lost pet platypus. However, they're not the only ones looking for him!
[show details]
- PARADIGM agents landed in an idyllic suburban backyard only to find two young boys expecting them. After a brief rundown of the situation, the boys had to go shopping with their mother, and left the search for their pet platypus, Perry, in PARADIGM's paws. Upon investigating the back yard, Agent Shiro discovered an odd knot in a tree. When pressed, the knot opened up, revealing a chute. When the agents took the chute, they found themselves in an underground secret lair, whereupon they learned from a giant face in the monitor that Perry has another identity- Agent P.
- After learning about Agent P's nemesis- Dr. Doofenshmirtz, the agents set out to his location, a high-rise building in downtown Danville. After Shiro and Riki buzzed him on the intercom, they were allowed in and made their way up to Dr. Doofenshmirtz's lair. Thinking they were a bunch of carpet cleaners, he let them in, and told them how he built inventions, but couldn't unleash them yet because his nemesis, Agent Perry the Platypus, hadn't arrived. So, he decided that, instead of waiting for Agent Perry he was going to bring the monotreme to him using an invention designed to teleport all platypii in the tri-state area to him. Any platypii who weren't Perry would then be hit with yet another invention which would turn them into dolls.
- The plan backfired though, as the invention designed to summon Perry the Platypus brought every single platypus in the tri-state area.. except for Agent Perry! Frustrated, Dr. Doofenshmirtz pulled out his doll-inator and almost began shooting the platypii, when a NEW platypus burst through the wall. Dr. Doofenshmirtz was bewildered at first, but when the platypus put on a fedora, he recognized him to be Agent Perry! After yelling at Agent P for being late, he tried to run over to his first invention, a machine that would turn objects into spaghetti... but tripped, and fell as Tatsuya intercepted him using cat-like reflexes and stabbed the spaghetti-inator, forcing it to shut down.
- During the battle, Dr. Doofenshmirtz's robot assistant, Norm, came out, offering muffins. Apple, Kouhei, and all other agents partook of the treats.
- A battle between Agent Perry and Dr. Doofenshmirtz began, where Agent Perry was the obvious winner. Not wanting to be without options, Dr. Doofenshmirtz looked for his doll-inator, which fell during the initial surprise of Agent P's entrance. However, Agent Setsuna had picked it up since then, and with a look from Agent P, crushed the device in her hand. With the combined effort of Seijimi Tatsuya and Perry, the invention that summoned the monotremes was also destroyed, sending the platypii (again, except Agent P) back to their original locations. This caused a chain reaction, leading to the explosion of the spaghetti-inator, which caused spaghetti to start raining down in Doofenshmirtz's apartment. Agent P used that moment to take his exit and leave. PARADIGM agents followed suit.
- Back at the suburban home where the agents first arrived, they ran into the entire family of the contact, and were pleased to announce that they had located the missing pet.
- All Agents received a fedora for acting as representatives of the O.W.C.A.

- Synopsis: PARADIGM agents were contacted to help deal with a development project that was being assaulted by Werewolves.
[show details]
- The agents met Jack, who told them about the situation. A company was trying to build in the Black Forest, but they had been disturbing the local Werewolves. These creatures, who Jack was associated with the Wolf Pack back in World War II (making him quite old..), were expanded upon as being part of the Blood Tribe by agent Loki, a group of Werewolves which worked with Dracula, sharing his desire to remove humans from the planet. With this intel, the group set out into the forest, ready to try to negotiate with, or fight the Werewolves.
- The group rapidly encountered some spirit wards, which were dispelled by agent Morris, after being identified as such by agent Farenheights. The agents then moved on, to a rather gruesome scene. Several men and security guards had been eviscerated and strung up as a warning, their organs used as decoration by the Blood Tribe. Agent Farenheights animated the corpses, and asked them where the Lycanthropes were. The 'man' responded they were most likely where the odd energy source they were investigating was. After putting them back to rest, the group moved on.
- This is where they were surrounded by Werewolves, the animalistic, crazed kind, which were not listening to agents Loki or Farenheights. As the group prepared to fight, a man appeared, calling himself Gregor, a member of the Blood Tribe. He explained to them, due to agent Farenheights' relation to Dracula, that he was intending to remove the blight of humanity from the planet. When the rest of the group objected, he ordered the other Lycanthropes to destroy the agents. After a short but fierce battle, the group disposed of the werewolves, which was made easier by agents Belmont and Morris' silver weapons.
- After tracking down Gregor to the source of the energy, and finding several women in captivity and with child, the agents readied to fight him, except he summoned a Chaos Crawler, a small manifestation of the Chaos which keeps Dracula coming back to life. The creature was causing ripples and horrors in reality by its mere existence, and causing several of the agents attacks against it to backfire somehow, as well as interfere with their perceptions of reality and the situation. A hard fight with the creature, however, left the agents triumphant, with only a few wounds, and no deaths. The group reported back to Jack and returned home.

- The Agents made their way into the administration building, starting to explore the area. After hearing some noise behind a door, agent Fontaine touched it, leading some dog-like plant creatures to smash through the door and attempt to murder all agents. The concerted use of flashlights caused the creature's black spore barrier to evaporate, and agent Bayushi's sword caused the spores to ignite spectacularly. Agents then heard a noise from upstairs, and made their way there. Once they got to the top room, however, they found a female student, bloated to the size of a manatee, 'birthing' maggot-like plant creatures. As agents began to defend themselves, agent Bayushi used his sword, causing the black spores to spontaneously combust and explode both the whole room and the agents, wounding agent Yuzaki.
- From there, the agents went to the teacher's lounge, where they saw a man wearing paramilitary gear, and agent Fontaine shot him, knocking him out the window and accidentally killing him. The group deduced he could only have come from the forest or the gymnasium, and agent Kakita found clues that the forest was the likely spot. Making their way there, the agents were ambushed by plant creatures while agent Isabelle was tracking the man's scent, and they fought off their plant-zombie-like attackers. They also discovered that whoever was using the forest was expertly covering their tracks.
- Making their way into a storage shed, the agents found their way into an underground tunnel. At the end of this tunnel, the agents encountered several cages with plant zombie giants, which all started to break free when they shone light on them. The problem is that before they could all attack, two of them were killed by a Tyrant B.O.W., leading the agents into a battle with the nigh-invincible killing machine. Agent McNichol's surprise appearance helped turn the tide of battle, due to his high powered rifle, but the monster was a tough fight for everyone, wounding all agents.
- After beating the Tyrant, the agents moved into the next room, encountering Serpent and Sister Red, having kidnapped Shannon Matthews, to use her blood for some unknown means. The disappearances were used to lure her, specifically, out, and the appearance of PARADIGM agents was an unknown element, forcing them to take samples and leave instead of continuing what they were doing. The agents saved five of the missing students, and injected them (and themselves) with the antidote to the Black Spores, before returning to the Epoch and The Inn.

It was emitting large amount of heat, hot enough to melt the asphalt of the ground it was hovering over. Fakir and Shiro tried to ice shoot it, which didn't work. Then they crossed the streams with Izumi's help. Takeo came in, was informed of the situation, and tried to get close to the fire ball to find out what was going on, but results were inconclusive. He instead froze a kiddie pool and dropped it on top of the fireball, which trapped it, though it was covered in ice for a while. The fireball eventually came out, but it was spent, crashing to the ground shortly afterwards.
- Jared and Motonari helped clean up afterwards.

- In the House of Mirrors, the scenery began to bleed into the Otherside.. which seemed to be a dimension or a pathway to hell. There were buzz-like sounds of insects through the walls and many scary-looking creatures in cages around them. A few hands broke out through the mirrors and tried to grab Prae Shinra and Setsuna Mikagami. Nikolai and Loki helped slash the arms off of Prae.. and Jaden Beleren and Tatsuya tried to slash the arms off of Setsuna, the hands on Prae were completely lobbed off.. however the hands on Setsuna's didn't cut through with Tatsuya's blade.. and a loud scream echoed throughout the area.

When they arrived they heard the sound of gunshots and went to investigate finding the dead body of a Genma demon. After investigating the body they were encountered by 4 large demons who were easily defeated by the agents. After the fight they came to the suspicion that they were not alone here, this conclusion was solidified by a trip-wire trap laid in a hallway for the agents to fall into. The Agents avoided this trap and made it to the main area of the crypt where they evaded a horde of zombies before fighting a monstrous two-headed demon dog. After a very long and bloody fight they secured the head and left the crypt.
Once they made it outside they were surrounded by a large group of armed soldiers and their leader who asked for the head they just recently acquired. The Agents refused and even with a threat of blowing up the city they attacked the leader of the soldiers, who turned into a cloud of mist and avoided every attack sent his way. During the proceding gunfight, Agent Josef was taken captive and was forced to hand over the demon's head. The leader of the opposing army attempted to shoot Agent Josef but the bullet was intercepted by Prae Shinra which initiated another gunfight which resulted in several wounded agents and the loss of the demon's head they worked hard to obtain. Agent Nikolai reported the results of the mission to the B.P.R.D. and the loss of Agent Josef. Sadly, the mission was recorded as a failure, however the secured Genma tomb was enough to allow the agents to collect their reward for their hard work.

- The bad guy was inside a bank just near where the group had landed. Jach Swiftblade used his oculars to find the guy and gave a description that indicated his energy was biological. The group went into the bank. The bank was empty, but damaged pretty badly by blunt force. Leben used her psychometric abilities against one of the damaged areas, and immediately felt what the guy was feeling- which is a lot of confusion, fear, and panic. The group agreed that it would be best to actively pursue him, so they followed him downstairs.
- Shiro mentioned a bug that eats brains, and freaked out Leben, especially since there were bugs in the stairwell.
- When they descended the stairs and entered the large underground vault chambers, they found a man inside an energy construct, with a hammer formed from said construct, bashing up the place. Initial attempts to get his attention failed, but when Jach froze his hammer, the guy suddenly was focusing on him.. and the rest.. pointing guns at them! He calmed down suddenly though, and Jach started to try to talk to him. However, he suddenly went mad again and starting shooting randomly and ran off. After he calmed down, Jach and the others went to look for him, and found him standing still in the center of one room.. his energy now yellow. When Jach and Shiro went to speak with him, though, the guy snapped, forming a baseball bat and swinging it around. Daichi/Dark threw some magical feathers on the ground which were intended to contain the energy construct. Whether or not it was the feather... The energy did fade.. but as the last of it faded, the man began to choke. Despite the team's best efforts... the man died.

- After some discussion, it was determined that the Giant Man was heading toward the East Harbor. Their suspicions were confirmed when the Giant Man appeared again, seemingly out of thin air, about 10 miles away.. to the East.
- Faustlin Fontaine borrowed one of the Commissioner's Jeeps, and along with the group, drove down to where the Giant was. Tonic and Takeo Masaki both tried to communicate with him, however there was a language barrier (due to size) that made it nearly impossible to communicate properly.
- Suddenly, the Giant disappeared. The group went to look for him, Hien Hayaboshi scaled a building to scan for him, while others inspected his foot-crater, and others suggested energy traces. Several minutes later, the Giant came back, several feet away from the spot he was just in. Well, rather, instead of re-appearing... he re-grew. It turns out the man had been growing and shrinking in size this entire time! Luckily, the Agents were able to either dodge the growth spurt, or were thrown in such a way they could recover without hurting themselves. Again, there attempts at communication, but nothing that yielded fruitful results. And then, he disappeared again.
- Knowing now that he shrank rather than disappeared, Xander Dreyar found the man on the ground, amongst some pebbles, and Izumi cast Mini on the entire group, shrinking them all down so they could talk with the man. After talking with him, it was discovered that he did not know what had happened. He had been near a bar called "Moe's", and the next thing he knew, he was up and unable to control the size of his body. He was on his way to the harbor to drown himself. When Takeo suggested some altnerates to drowning himself, the man got mad... and began to grow again. This time, he grew so tall, his body was unable to handle it, and snapped backwards, breaking not only his lower back but his neck as well- causing him to die and collapse into buildings.
- The city is now safe from the odd menace, but the mystery remains: Who is the sick f*cker who is doing this to innocent human beings?

- Agents went into the base, seeing the entrance was covered in giant snake bits, and the front hallway was covered in blood and signs of a battle involving swords, and body parts. Agent Dreyar sensed a powerful magical presence down below, so the agents made their way down. On the lower floor, the agents encountered several undead werewolves, coming back to 'life' to intercept them. The agents managed to fight off the undead lycanthropes, then as they were about to move forward, they were intercepted by three ninjas who used the powers of the storm to freeze and zap them in place, as well as an ally to attack them in their weakened state.
- Moving quietly to the next floor, agents Tonic and Nara learned that it was filled with powerful, large undead, and made their way back to warn the team. The other agents went down, with agents Sparda and Yevtushenko to distract them while the other agents attacked from an angle. Save for a strong hit to Sparda's chest, none of the other agents were harmed, and the group got to proceed to the next floor. However, the next floor was an ambush, where the assembled forces of Inspiratio were waiting.
- Belle Hibiki, Orochimaru, Astrid Blomgren, and Fasalina were waiting for the group, leading to a rather intense fight. Fasalina was disabled rather quickly, with Astrid being halted and distracted by agent Morris's timely arrival, with Hibiki and Orochimaru holding their own against the entire enemy group. Agent Sparda went on ahead to retrieve the sword, but the entire battle screeched to a halt with his sudden return, burnt badly and tossed like a sack of potatoes, by Odio, apparent leader of Inspiratio.

However, the sword the agents were sent to retrieve was too dangerous for even Inspiratio, and they left it behind for agent Yevtushenko to recover. The agents then made their way back home after handing the sword back to its rightful guardians, the Oboro Ninja Clan, and their ally, Ryu Hayabusa.

She gave them special bracelets that allowed them to teleport to a rune, or to the highest concentration of other agents with active bracelets.
[show details]
- The agents went in, floor by floor.. using the stairwell to make things easier. On the third floor, they were attacked by a demon, but Haruka's Severe ability sent the demon back to his plane of existence. After investigating the third floor a bit, the group decided to move on.
- On the fourth floor, they witnessed poltergeistic activity, but on the fifth floor, they heard children crying. Dominic, Tonic, and Prae each looked into separate rooms to see about the wails they heard. Tonic found her worst nightmare, and ran, leaving her weapons behind. Prae and Dominic both found objects of their lust waiting for them, but Dom's Clearsighted ability quickly negated the illusion, allowing the group, including Prae, to realize what was going on before anyone could get any facetime with a succubus, or worse.
- On the sixth floor, the group met a pastor, who warned something terrible was going on inside the cathedral. They group walked in through the doors, to find all the missing persons reported, and then some, bound together in a pentagram on the floor, with a portal to hell behind the pulpit. On the pulpit, there was a snazzy dressed demon holding an unconscious Elyna Morwinn by her neck. He shook her a few times, and her body fell off, leaving her spine, intestines and other internal organs intact and fully attached to her skull. She 'awakened' and attacked the group, but was quickly pinned down by Haruka. Dominic and the others set about fighting off the Snazzy dressed guy, but it was Neo Sailor Saturn's energy sphere that pushed him into and through the portal. However, even as he disappeared, a quartet of demons crawled through. Kaleido Ruby took care of one of them with her Kaleido Smite bomb, and Dominic had fun playing Loki with the succubus. The incubus and remaining demon went after Haruka, who turned her attentions to them, freeing Elyna from the spell she was being pinned down with. Dominic, thinking to remove Elyna from the situation, lobbed her head through the window, and incidentally cutting up her organs in the process, killing her. While Neo Sailor Saturn and Mireya worked to move the unconscious hostages to a safe spot, Kaleido Ruby and Haruka took care of the incubus and demon.
- When all seemed to be, relatively, well, the Snazzy guy came back out again, and stated there was no need for witnesses. Even while Dominic and Kaleido Ruby were attacking him, he kept his arms upright above his head, building an energy ball, which he released as he finally became torn asunder. The energy ball, the size of a small car, crackled dangerously, threatening to blow up the entire room- or even hospital- but thanks to some quick thinking from Kaleido Ruby, she was able to knock it back through the portal to Hell, just as the portal collapsed.
- The group used their technomagic bracelets to escort the hostages outside, whereupon they met a new person, a blonde who did not introduce herself. She inquired whether the hostages were okay, made sure they were going to be fine, and assured the PARADIGM agents that they would be compensated for their work today.
- Then, everyone went home for a frivilous Halloween Party the next day. Good times all around! ♥

We purified the poor unicorn that was turning evil and shit and then my friends came floating down from the sky. Sooo.. Sagiko-sama is back. She's resting, though." - Utada Aimi
[show details]
- The agents met up with Merry Merry, their unicorn contact who quickly brought them to the small gingerbread village where the other unicorns lived (Ferry Ferry the baker and Berry Berry the gardener). Merry Merry explained that a piece of mirror had fallen into their magical world and their sister, Cherry Cherry decided to study it. After some contact with the mirror she became recluse and then fled with the mirror piece to Mt. Gumdrop and locked herself away in the Forsaken Castle. Berry Berry also warned the agents that the unicorns' presence was no longer prevalent as they neared Mt. Gumdrop... and quickly they will be absorbed into a world of nightmares.
- The agents then continued on a path towards Mt. Gumdrop. A few agents noticed being followed and Hayate Uzumaki left behind a clone to scout behind them. They continued on and eventually came across three stone gargoyles guarding the castle entrance. Hayate then explained that his clone was attacked and he saw a skinny man in a suit with multiple arms chase up the mountain. Before the agents could further muse about it, the gargoyles activated and one attacked Sailor Sirius, one attacked Kaleido Ruby, and the third tried to leap on Sailor Centauri. With help from all the other agents, particularly Tatsuya's soul metal and Akaru's persona the gargoyles were destroyed. Apple was able to subdue one of them and Faustlin Fontaine helped snipe them.
- The agents then went inside the castle and were greeted with a single room holding a coffin, a door, and a dumbwaiter. There were dirtied words scrawled around the room that eventually the agents pieced together, "The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it." A few agents recognized this as being a riddle and the answer was 'a coffin'. Faustlin was already opening the coffin and soon everyone was able to descend down to the bottom and get to Cherry Cherry (now Black Cherry)'s lair.
- Inside the final room there was a machine that was similar to the one that the senshi dealt with at their resort trip and also was seen on the Moon in Mission #50. Kaleido Ruby and Akaru quickly began work on trying to dismantle the runes to bring down the barrier surrounding the machine while Tatsuya, Nikolai, and Sirius tried to damage the crystal powering the machine. The crystal eventually retaliated, directly knocking Kaoru Sie in the chest and Faustlin in the leg. Black Cherry appeared in the shape of a hologram and began taunting the agents that soon their energies will be absorbed into her machine and The Dark Queen will be reborn. The agents then used the crystal that Sirius had, combining their efforts and were able to melt away the crystal.. freeing Cherry Cherry and purifying the mirror into nothing.
- Three orbs then descended from the sky in the shape of Sagiko Tsukino, Toki Stingray, and Lydia Kazeda. Cherry Cherry was also returned to her true unicorn form. After gathering their bearings, the agents left with Cherry Cherry back to the gingerbread village where Ferry Ferry had baked a celebratory cake for each of them. The agents then returned back to the inn with their comrades.

Bulma explained that there was a presence of a monster who was wreaking havoc on their planet. In the middle of explaining their problem, Bulma then got a call from Chi-Chi who said that a precious item had just been stolen from her. Agents were then asked to split up into two groups: One to fight the Monster and another group to retrieve the lost item.. the dragon balls.

- Part One.
- Agents who decided to fight the 'monster' were given HoverCars from Bulma in order to reach the scene quickly. Once they arrived at the scene there were giant of monsters swarming them and trying to stop them from getting to the dormant, larger monster beyond. Nikolai, Luca, Vaelgir, Xander, Apple, and Jach quickly dispatched the monsters and Cordelia helped keep everyone healed up.
- Once the monsters were dealt with and the agents got closer to the larger creature, they noticed that it was covered with a hard shell and sporting a tail. Right away, the monster opened it's mouth and fired a huge laser at the group. Nikolai was able to use his sword to block half of the ray and everyone else managed to get out of the beam's path, albeit getting somewhat scorched in the process. The monster was known as the Sapphire WEAPON. The WEAPON seemed to focus most of it's attacks on Jach, Nikolai, and Luca.. and seemingly uninterested in the other agents. Vaelgir used this to his advantage by trying to get behind the WEAPON.
- Jach then formed his Millenium Cannon and fired it at the WEAPON's face, followed by other attacks from Nikolai, Luca, and Xander. Vaelgir attacked the tail of the WEAPON and Apple managed to bring thorns up to keep the beast rooted. The armor of the WEAPON started to crack and then Nikolai helped molten up the earth beneath the weapon as Luca shot the WEAPON in the mouth. Eventually the monster sank into the ground and was silenced. Before things could be celebrated, however, Gilgamesh appeared and challenged the agents to a battle for a few minutes. As things got heated, Gilgamesh then left and the agents were just in time to witness a shocking explosion, signifying the destruction of Omega WEAPON.
- Part Two.
- Tracking down the call from Chi-Chi to her house, the agents saw the Dragon Ball moving towards one of the other points on their Dragon Radar. After tracking it for a bith, they disappeared, and made their way to the next spot. Unfortunately, the agents were spotted by Orochiko, who had her three storms attack them with their respective powers, to bring them to the ground, knocking out agent Uzumaki. The rest of the group went down to fight in the newly made swampland, against those four and Belle.
- The fight raged for some time, as agent Shinra flew towards the next Dragon ball, while the others handled the enemy. The agents were doing well with agent Swiftblade attempting to kill Orochimaru, when she revealed her new power, 'Black Dhalia', making him have to flee to the shadows. Agent Saotome and Belle were fighting, and as the agents were getting the upper hand, the Dark Knight, Lady Gaga and Black Star appeared, attacking the agents by surprise. Agent Swiftblade then struck through Orochimaru through the shadows, and she used his own hand to initiate a suicide attack, making a new version of herself hatch from her mouth before attempting to kill him, leaving her prone to agent Saotome's attack. The Dark Knight also took advantage of the confusion to strike at agent Utada, depriving her of her power, and killing her with a spear strike.
- Something unknown pulled Belle away from agent Saotome's attack, which left her open to a surprise grab from underground by Tendou, wrapping tentacles around her and then seemingly crushing her, setting the stage for a final battle with the new form of Tendou. All agents present, and former agent Hibiki, teamed up to deliver a series of powerful attacks to this giant form of Tendou, which was somehow lacking its usual regeneration. The newly evolved Tendou did not survive the combination attack. After this, Son Goku appeared, albeit a bit late, but then used the Dragon Balls, including the one agent Shinra returned, to bring back the dead and fix the world, damaged from the WEAPON's attacks. Agent Utada and the lunar guardian, Phoebe, were returned to the living. However, agent Saotome did not return, leading to many questions from the present agents.
