At their house, Yui's family sits down for dinner and Yuu starts talking about Rito, which embarrasses Yui. The mom ask if Rito is Yui's boyfriend and recall when Yui prepared the Valentine cholocate while her dad asks Yui to introduce him the boy. Yui would to change the subject, but Yuu teases her again by saying he wonders what Rito is up to right now.

Meanwhile, Rito is trying to snap Mikan out of Azenda's control, but Yami tells him that there is no point. Yami refuses to fight Mikan, even though she is attacking her. Yami then tries to attack Azenda, but she has Mikan jump in the way and Azenda attack Yami with her whip almost breaking the Taiyaki key-chain. Azenda then asks Yami if her friend is really this important to her and attack Yami (stripping off part of her shirt) while she is actching the key-chain. Rito then tries to hold Mikan, but Azenda has her break free (putting even her butt on Rito' face).

Azenda tells Yami that she has noticed how Yami seems friendly with many people, instead when they fought in the past Yami seemed an emotionless robot. This make Yami weak and she is going to use this to finish her off, getting revenge on Yami after all these years. Azenda tells she want to see Yami on the ground and begs for her life. Yami gets angry and jumps at Azenda. Once again Azenda uses Mikan who knees Yami in the stomach. Azenda laugh how Yami could have defeat easily Mikan and instead she restrain herself. Yami then thinks to herself that, even if it costs her everything, she will protect Mikan. Mea watches the fight from a rooftop and wonders why Yami isn't attacking and worry for the hostage.

Yami then is beaten on he ground and Azenda taunts her by having Mikan to suck form her nipples. Yami can't find a way to defeat her without hurt Mikan. Azenda then tells Yami that she will finish them both off soon. Azenda recall how, after to be defeated from Yami, she lost her status as assassin and now even Mikan will pay just for to be involed with Yami. Rito then interrupts Azenda telling her not to call Mikan or Yami unfortunate nor to compare them to her. Azenda then jumps at Rito who tells Yami to grab Mikan and run. Just as she is about to attack Rito, a black rose falls and cuts Azenda's face. Azenda looks up to see Momo who has come to look for Rito and Mikan. Momo introduce herself and Azenda asks why Momo is here when she has no business with her. Momo tells her that everyone there is someone important to her.

Azenda then decides to attack Momo as well, but Momo dodges all of her attacks. Azenda asks why she is only dodging, and Momo tells her that it would be unladylike to do so. Momo then tells her that it's already over for her and Azenda finds that she can't move. Momo then explains that the roses cut has sent a poison through Azenda's veins paralyzing her. Momo then explains that the rose is not deadly, but then she summons some flowers from her D-Dial. Momo explains that she summoned a Cannon Flower that shoots out seeds the size of fists,and gives her an example shooting a seed inches in front of Azenda's face. Reduced to a whimper, Azenda begs for her life telling Momo she will do anything for her. Momo takes this into consideration, but declines and launch multiple shots.

Later, Mikan wake up and asks Yami what happened to them. Yami hugs Mikan and tells her that everything is fine because she is unhurt. Yami then thanks Momo, but Momo says that she did what anyone would have done. Rito thanks Momo too and she blushes. Rito asks her what they should do with Azenda (who wasn't hit by the seed, but is foaming at the mouth on the ground) and Momo tell she will get over to Galactic Police as usual from Zastin. Yami holds her taiyaki key-chain close to her heart and says she now knows to rely on your friends when you're in trouble. Howewer, Yami tells Rito that she can't rely on him. On the roof, Mea wonders why Yami never fought back and is shocked.

Meanwhile, back at the Yuuki home, Lala, Nana and Celine all sit starving, wondering where Rito and the others are.
