Of course, with the Yellow Devil down, that only leaves...the still rather large group of robotic soldiers. You know, the one that Yellow Devil was part of?

Thankfully there's still some reinforcements ready for action.

''"Lightning Kick!" ''Before the soldiers can start moving to capture the heroes, Chiro drop-kicks one of them from above, and is shortly followed by Jinmay flying down and firing her eye lasers.

Meanwhile, in Yharim's castle, a certain someone is currently watching over the Skull Heart.

Double, currently in her nun form, is musing over a rather important matter. The matter of finding a new host for the Skull Heart. After all, it is why she ended up joining Yharim in the first place; when he stole the Skull Heart, she was quick to join so that way she can keep a proper eye on it.

Of course, with all the worlds open to her, now there's the question of who should be the next Skullgirl.

It's...a rather difficult proposition, to say the least. Then someone else enters the room.

'''"I'm not interrupting anything, are I?" '''Doc Scratch. He's not really asking if he's interrupting anything important; he already knows, being omniscient. This is one of his attempts at a joke.

"Rather disappointing you don't find it funny, but it's not anything I didn't already know."

...Double still has no idea how he does that.

"You're free to ask Iris, Yuri, or Monika about it any time."

She's also fairly sure that trying to figure it out would break the minds of the gods themselves, so Double doesn't question it.

Double turns to look at Doc Scratch. She's been trying to avoid this, because although Doc Scratch is omniscient and always tells the truth, save for the occassional joke or even rarer prank, he has a tendency to withhold certain bits of information and word his statements in such a way that it can be interpreted in an entirely different way than what he actually means, usually to his advantage. And he knows that she knows it, so chances are he'll make his statement even more frustratingly vague and cryptic than usual. But at the same time...she's desperate, and at least Doc Scratch can give her somewhere to start.

"That, I am more than capable of doing."

Ignoring that, Double sighs. "Scratch...I am in need for your advice."

'''"You want to know where to find the next Skullgirl." '''Doc Scratch states.

''"Yes - where among the masses can I find the next Skullgirl, guardian?" ''Double asks.

Doc Scratch is silent for a moment. "I will not reveal the location to you at the moment, but I will tell you this - it's unnecessary to give anyone in lord Yharim's army the Skullheart at this point in time."

And then he leaves.

Double resists the urge to scream in rage.
