Synopsis[]
Aoyama and the Blue Knight were both false identities their savior assumed. What's the plan now?
Plot[]
A distraught Ichigo learns that not only Aoyama was not only Blue Knight, but also the leader of the Aliens, Deep Blue. Witnessing the scene unfold, Ryo leaves Keiichiro in charge of looking after the base.
Back at Ichigo's location, Deep Blue prepares his base to fire off a laser, which Pie claims was the true start of the Tokyo Gondwana Renaissance. It would terraform the Earth back to its original state when the Aliens first inhabited it. Left with no other choice, Zakuro claims they need to fight, despite initial hesitance from Lettuce and Purin. All but Ichigo attack the Aliens; however, Ichigo takes the attacks believing he's still Aoyama and uses her StrawBell Bell to attack them all.
With her former allies fainted, Ichigo felt a rush of guilt for what she did, and Deep Blue then tried to dispose of her, but Kishe pleaded that he doesn't. As Kishe is held back by Pie and Tart, Deep Blue fires off an attack from his sword at Ichigo, who was rescued in the nick of time by Ryo in his cat form. After that, the beam from Deep Blue's base fires off, causing the building and the surrounding area to break and fall apart.
By nightfall, Ryo awakens next to the unconscious Ichigo, and although he sustained a wound on his left side, he carried Ichigo on his back, who then awoken. Remembering what she had done to her friends and the immense guilt that accompanied it, Ryo blamed himself for putting her and the other Mew Mews in danger in the first place.
In Deep Blue's Base, the three aliens beg their leader for mercy for Kishe's insubordination. Pie also suggests that Deep Blue give some final words to humanity before they meet their impending doom. Deep Blue does, and each Mew Mews gives their thoughts about the current situation. To both Ryo and Ichigo's dismay, they find the Café Mew Mew in shambles, and Keiichiro appears before them with a tray of tea to serve them.
Eventually, the other Mew Mews arrive and enjoy the tea that Keiichiro served, as the despondent Ichigo sits in a corner with Ryo close by her. Mint tries to instigate a conversation with Ichigo and leads her to the table they all sat at. However, Ichigo was still mortified by what she had done earlier. This causes Mint to tearfully slap Ichigo in the face and talk some sense into her, making her cry tears of remorse and hug Mint. The rest of the Mew Mews also hug Ichigo forgiving her past actions against them.
Moments later, Ryo collapsed due to his wound, and Keiichiro treated it. After that, Ryo begs the Mew Mews to continue the fight to save the Earth. Immediately, Ichigo agrees to do it to convince Aoyama (Deep Blue) not to destroy the Earth. The rest of the Mew Mews agree with Ichigo, and the last remaining Mew Aqua is found to be high above Tokyo. With that knowledge, the girls retransform into their Mew Mew forms and power up Ichigo's Strawbell into the StrawBell Bell Version Up, and in doing so, they also gain wings. Using their newly gained wings, the Mew Mew fly off into the sky and head to Deep Blue's Base, who senses their presence closing in.
