Summary
Asuka is pleased she gets to work with her friends again. A VIP comes through the bridge before the conference, wishing to speak to the Magical Girls in private. It is General Tabira, the being from the Spirit World who created the Magical Girls. She brings a powerful magical weapon that will amplify their powers several times over. Meanwhile, the Babel Brigade has a squadron of Cenobite-class Disas launch magical artillery strikes on the base from afar while others approach from the ground. Some go to the base while others attack Naha city to scatter the defenders. Asuka's classmates are in Naha city shopping. Mia handles the Disas in the city while Tamara helps defend the base. Asuka and Kurumi are the last line of defense to protect the bridge. Tabira is persuaded to return to the Spirit World for her own protection but a dimensional bomb has shut down the bridge for the next 48 hours - Tabira is the target, not the conference. Asuka and Kurumi must protect Tabira for the next 48 hours. Giess and Chisato join the attack.
