Takamina stretched her arms, smiling. "Ah, today was a good performance!" she said happily, grinning. However, in the dressing room she found something interesting at Natsumi's mirror. "A briefcase?" Takamina asked, going to open it. Her eyes widened. "This is..."

Natsumi was munching on another chocolate bar as she walked through the halls, heading for the dressing room. Takamina would see a Morphin Brace, the Custom Visor, and three other pieces of gear, and a note from Natsumi's mother, telling her of passing down the system to her.

Takamina read the note. "Natsumin... Why...?" she whispered, looking back at the briefcase.

Natsumi walked in the dressing room, "Oh hi Takamina!" she said cheerfully, but then saw the look on her face. "What...is wrong?"

"Natsumin... What is all of this?" she asked.

"Eh?" Natsumi said, her eyes widening as she looked at the gear, and then at the note. She threw up her hands in exasperation and sat down. "Oh hell.....Mother, why did you have to do this now..."

"What is this, Natsumin?!" Takamina asked.

"Takamina...." Natsumin said, looking down. "My parents work for an Interpol black operation. My mother was the original Yellow Buster, from a Sentai team...tied to that black op. She's retired...and passed it down to me without telling me or a word or anything....Now she wants me to be a heroine..."

"Why though?! You're putting yourself at risk!"

"I..." Natsumi said, a tear rolling down her cheek. "I can't just send this back. I can't just walk away..."

"But... Enough of us are risking our lives already... I don't want you getting mixed up in it as well."

"But if I don't stand up...I'll feel terrible. And that will affect my overall performance...my dream. Takamina....this operation fights a very deadly virus...and the perpetrators of it. I know my mother wouldn't send this to me unless she was finally unable to continue with field work. I know some of you are heroines....and I want to be one too. Not for the fame...not for the glory. But....for the honor that we alone hold...of fighting evil unimaginable, of protecting our friends, our loved ones..." She said, taking Takamina's hand, "I want to be able to reach out my hand to you in your hour of need, Captain....like you do for us all."

"Natsumin..." Takamina said, voice shaking.

Natsumi hugged Takamina tightly, tears flowing freely now. "I'm sorry. I thought my life was going to go well. I didn't know I'd get dragged into the whole heroine thing. I just want to perform for the fans...but if that means I have to moonlight as a Senshi..."

"I understand..." she said before pulling away. "Are you sure you'll be able to do this? You're a second generation member of AKB... if you can't do it, you can graduate," she said.
