Summary
A blonde haired girl in black clothing is seen flouting down, landing on top of a poll and observes the view and comments what a peaceful planet it is. At the Yuuki residence, Zastin gives Lala her monthly allowence and wonders where Rito is, Mikan says that he went out shopping. While shopping, Rito comes across Haruna who is also shopping, he offers if she needs help which accepts. As he helps her  Rito feels happy being close to her and admires how cute she is, afterwards they then go thier seperate way which Rito is depressed about. After completing his shopping list he buys some taiyaki, on his way home he comes across the same blonde haired girl in the begining and notesis her staring at him, he thinks she want's some taiyaki and offers her one. The girl comments how earth food is weird which stuns Rito, even more so when the girl knows his name and turns her hand into a blade to hit him but manages to dodges it, Rito realises that she is also an alien who states someone asked her to kill him thus revealing herself as an assassin.

The assassin chases Rito through town attempting to kill, however he quickly dodges her every attack, she asks him why he doesn't fight for she beleaves him to be an atrocious fiend which confuses Rito. Her attack is then blocked by Zastin just in time to save Rito, while the two fight Lala comes in and clings to Rito and asks what's going on, where Mikado comes in and answers that the assassin is called Golden Darkness who's has the trans-ability (power to change any part of her into a weapon) and that it's best not to get involved, she also tell's Rito to come to her if he has any injuries (even though his life is at stake). The fight between Zastin and Golden Darkness continues and just when Zatin thinks he has the upper hand, he falls down a man hole, Golden Darkness flies to where Rito is to finish the job but Lala declares herself as her next opponent.

The fight gets intense as it cause property damage where ever they go (and Rito get in a misunderstaning after breaking through a womens bath house). Lala fights back using her inventions like Sticky-Gooey Launcher-Kun to shoot goo at Golden Darkness however she misses and hits Rito in the face. Lala then uses Grabby-Grubby Hand-Kun to catch Golden Darkness but avoids it by jumping back where as the Principal gets a clear view of her panties, much to her displeaser she attacks him multiple times, this serves as an opening for Lala as she uses Spinny-Spinny Rope-Kun to trap her but cuts herself free. Golden Darkness asks Lala why is she protecting Rito where as she was told by her client that he threatened her and planned to rule over Deviluke, However Lala claims Rito is nothing of the sort. Thinking back to when he offerend her taiyaki Golden Darkness may think other wise as well but states that she will still go as ordered and tells Lala that "a princess raised in shelter inviroment can't understand" and the dificulty of living alone which Lala respose which is why she ranned away from home to explore new places.

A flying sauser then comes in with an echoing voice telling Golden Darkness that her opponent isn't Lala, the person came down from the ship revealing himself as Lacospo who Lala is familiar with (being one of her fiance candidates), Lala asks if he is "Yami-Chan's" client, which he say did it for her and ask to marry her, but angerly declines saying he's the worst trying to have Rito killed. Lacospo is then mad at Golden Darkness for not killing Rito sooner, who tells him that the data she got from him about Rito is different from what she experience and asks if he had lied, he denies it being a lie however Lala tells her otherwise. Afraid Golden Darknes might disobay him, he calls his giant pet frog "Gama-Tan", Peke recognises it's species (a rare colored frog) as her natural enemy since it's salieva can desolve clothes.

Golden Darkness tries to fight it but gets her clothes partially burn and lands on Rito in an ecchi manner and hits him for it, Lacospo has Gama attack her from behined (attempting to desolve all her clothes) but is blocked by Lala thus having her own clothes desolved which Lacospo gets overly excited. He tries to make her compleatly naked but is blocked by Rito this time and his clothes are desolved (down to his boxers), he gets mad at Lacospo and punches him but is thrown back by Gama, just before Lacospo orders him to steps on Rito, Lala continuesly punches both him and Gama and sends them flying. Golden Darkness asks Lala why she protected her, she answers that it was all Lacospo's for doing such things to a cute girl like Yami-chan, she blushes noting the first time being called cute. Rito says that she can return to space now that Lacospo is gone, however she doesn't feel the need to and declears that she will stay on Earth until she finishes' the job to assassinate him.
