Synopsis

It all comes down to this! Will this be the Mew Mews last battle? And where on Earth is Ichigo?

Plot

With Tokyo in shambles and aid needed for its residents, Mint's older brother Seiji coordinates rescue plans and aid to the people in need. He then spots the Mew Mews flying in the sky and wishes them all luck as they fly toward Deep Blue's Base. Ichigo's parents standing in front of their beat-up home worried about their daughter, but were sent a text to assure them she was fine and at Aoyama's home.

Landing in Deep Blue's Base, the Mew Mews navigate through the place following the palpable feeling the final Mew Aqua gave off. However, the Mew Mews are ambushed by Aliens Pie and Tart, who summon the Chimera Animas Dust Wyvern Mk II. A cybernetic version of the Chimera used at Tokyo Tower to attack the group. It fires off a laser beam directed at Ichigo, but the other Mew Mews block it, allowing Ichigo to progress forward, only to be confronted by Deep Blue in a room with a sky roof and a large tree in the center.

Immediately, Ichigo tries to convince Deep Blue, calling him Aoyama, to snap out of it and escape with her. However, Deep Blue shocks her with a bolt of black lightning a couple of times. Down on the ground, Deep Blue nearly killed Ichigo with his sword, but Kish protected her with his weapon and then pulled her away to a safe spot. When the distraught Ichigo asks why he saved her, Kish answers he merely saved the girl he loved. After kissing Ichigo on the cheek, Kish challenges Deep Blue for Ichigo's life and heart.

Meanwhile, Lettuce faces off against Pie, Purin faces off against Tart, and Mint and Zakuro face off against the Dust Wyvern Mk II. Mint and Zakuro defeated the Dust Wyvern Mk II through their combined efforts with Mint's Ribbon Echo Spin and Ribbon Echo attacks. The result of their battle has them far too exhausted to continue battling further, and they faint. Lettuce also defeats Pie, and the two pass out from exhaustion, while Purin confesses her love for Tart, and the two hug in tears. Using Masha's video feedback, Ryo watches from Keiichiro's laptop the battles. Ryo tries to get Masha to head to where Ichigo is, but it cannot because it ran out of power.

Returning to the battle between Kish and Deep Blue, Kish loses against Deep Blue and dies, causing Ichigo to cry and triggering something in Deep Blue's heart. This allows Aoyama to regain control of his body; however, realizing he had killed Kish, destroyed and polluted the Earth, and made Ichigo cry disturbed him. Ichigo then hugged Aoyama, assuring him he wasn't at fault for what Deep Blue had done. Just then, blood from a wound on Aoyama's arm dripped and fell onto a pile of soil which caused some plant life to spawn. Ichigo then realizes that the Mew Aqua is inside Aoyama's body, and to extract him from him, Aoyama resolves himself to take his own life. However, Deep Blue retakes control of the body and uses the dagger that Aoyama was about to use on himself to strangle Ichigo to death.
