	♪ Chase the Saucer
Sanae	#0@34Oboy, finally a real UFO! I hope I can still catch up with it!
Sanae	#0@42Now the girls at school won't laugh at me anymore. I'll show them some real nice pics and get real popular!
	Nazrin enters
???	#0@50*Squee!* Mouse to meetcha!
Sanae	#0@122Eek! Not that mouse again! Please go away, I don't have any cheese.
	<Boss title>
Nazrin	#0@130I don't need any stupid cheese from an unpopular schoolgirl.
Nazrin	#0@138You go away. I have work to do here.
Sanae	#0@146Work? Mice can't work! That's unsanitary!
Sanae	#0@154Hey, I bet you took my favorite UFO-shaped cookies from my school drawer, didn't you!
Nazrin	#0@162What's thaat? UFO-shaped cookies? That sounds stupid and weird.
	♪ Teeny, Tiny, Bratty Mousie
Nazrin	#0@170You're stupid and weird. ...but wait a sec.
Nazrin	#0@178Aww, now I lost it! See, that's what I get from your stupid weirdness!
Sanae	#0@186That's not true! I'm not weird, just different! And I'm really popular!
Sanae	#0@194Now I'll show you! Snake Powerrrr, ACTIVATE!
Nazrin	#0@202Oh, you want something of this, huh? Allright... I CHUUUUUUse meeeee!!
	Nazrin defeated
Sanae	#1@30Heyyy...
Sanae	#1@38This monster hunting is kinda fun...
Sanae	#1@46... Wait, are those UFO COOKIE CRUMBLES?!

	♪ Laughter Above the Clouds
	Kogasa Tatara enters
???	#0@68What did one raindrop say to the other?
Sanae	#0@76Huh? What?
???	#0@84Two's company, three's a cloud!
Sanae	#0@92...
Sanae	#0@100what.
	<Boss title>
	♪ The Foldable Untertainer
Kogasa	#0@108... I'm hopeless after all.
Kogasa	#0@116Nobody likes my jokes. Even though I'm pushing braincells so hard.
Sanae	#0@124Uh... so you're a comedian?
Kogasa	#0@132A failed comedian. They hailed me out of the club where I used to work.
Sanae	#0@140That's a tough business. I guess not everyone's made for that line of work.
Kogasa	#0@148Well, it didn't happen over a night drizzle. Since that UFO appeared, everyone's been acting weird.
Kogasa	#0@156Now nobody has time to laugh at my jokes anymore. Or even at me.
Sanae	#0@164Sorry to rain on your parade, but what did you say? That UFO made everyone act weird?
Kogasa	#0@172And how! Like they're being rainwashed!
Sanae	#0@180Rainwa-...? Oh, right.
	Kogasa Tatara defeated
Kogasa	#1@30Ahhh! What's the use if I can't make people laugh and cry like a cloud anymore?!
Sanae	#1@38Aw c'mon, isn't there anything else you can do?
Kogasa	#1@46Like being a plain old umbrella again? That didn't work either.
Sanae	#1@54Why's that?
Kogasa	#1@62My previous owner hated my jokes too...
Sanae	#1@70Should've guessed...

	♪ Ship out in the Blue
	Ichirin Kumoi enters
???	#2@30Aha! Seems like our UFO is gathering a real following!
Sanae	#2@38What? Who're you?
???	#2@46That's classified. Everything from this point on is classified!
	Ichirin Kumoi defeated
???	#3@30Holey moley! To think that my brofist didn't scare you away...
Sanae	#3@38Just hold on a sec. I'm really curious about your UFO.
	Ichirin Kumoi exits
Sanae	#3@76Aww noo, why're you running away?
	Ichirin Kumoi enters
???	#0@68Go away! I told you it's classified!
Sanae	#0@76But your UFO is in plain sight. Everyone can see it.
???	#0@84Well, that's obvious.
Sanae	#0@92...
Sanae	#0@100So, will you show me?
	<Boss title>
Ichirin	#0@108I'm head of security here. Why can't you let me do my job?
Ichirin	#0@116Wait... is that a camera?
Sanae	#0@124I just wanna take some real nice pics for my friends at school.
Ichirin	#0@132Ughh, I knew it. I thought I told you?
Ichirin	#0@140It's CLA-SSI-FI-ED!
Ichirin	#0@148You people with your cameras and cellphones nowadays are being a real nuisance!
Ichirin	#0@156Good thing I have my secret power.
Sanae	#0@164Huh? Secret power? You mean your pink, puffy brofist?
Ichirin	#0@172I mean the power to distort pictures!
Ichirin	#0@180Why do you think nobody's ever shot a good picture of a UFO?
Sanae	#0@188Wait... don't tell me you...
	♪ Intergalactic Girl of Secrecy and her Bro
Ichirin	#0@196That's right! It was all me!
	Ichirin Kumoi defeated
Ichirin	#1@30Blurry, shakey, too dark, too bright, corrupted, missing film, SD card lost... all my work.
Sanae	#1@38Oh dear, you're right! My picture didn't come out right at all.
Sanae	#1@46How am I gonna prove to my friends now that UFOs exist!
Ichirin	#1@54Didn't you say it's in plain sight? Surely they're gonna see it in the sky anyway?
Ichirin	#1@62But eh, whatever...
Ichirin	#1@70Since you beat me, go ahead and take some pictures from inside. I don't care anymore.
Sanae	#1@78Thanks a lot. My friends never look up in the sky anyway. Too busy doing cool stuff, like shopping.

	♪ Per Hitchhiker to Barnard's Star
Sanae	#0@34Oh, my... Is this really the inside of a UFO?
Sanae	#0@42It looks a bit dirty, doesn't it?
Sanae	#0@50I expected gleeming control panels, flashing lights, computer screens...
Sanae	#0@58Not old mattresses.
	Minamitsu Murasa enters
	♪ Captain Debbie
???	#0@66Halt! Who goes there?
Sanae	#0@138Oh, finally someone shows up.
???	#0@146I asked who you are.
Sanae	#0@154My name is Sunnyday Samantha! The super popular school girl.
	<Boss title>
Minamitsu	#0@162Charmed. Debbie Drowner, Captain of The Alienator.
Minamitsu	#0@170This is not the place for a school gal, so why don't you go on ahead and home then?
Sanae	#0@178Oh, so you're the captain? You kinda look a bit like a school girl yourself tho.
Minamitsu	#0@186Aye, t'is ship is headed way on course for its destined place.
Minamitsu	#0@194So to be way honest with ye, there's not much work to be done for me as it is now.
Sanae	#0@202I see, so what do you do around here instead?
Minamitsu	#0@210Poetry. My master showed me how.
Sanae	#0@218Really? What kind of poetry?
Minamitsu	#0@226Eheheh... Shall I read you a bit from it? I'm warning you though.
Minamitsu	#0@234In case you don't like it, I'll have to throw you overboard!
Sanae	#0@242Wha?
Minamitsu	#0@250Ah freddled gruntbuggly, Thy micturations are to me,
Minamitsu	#0@258As plurdled gabbleblotchits, On a lurgid bee
Sanae	#0@266...that doesn't sound like a poem at all. More like a stomache ache. (This should say "Internal Hermorrhaging". stupid censorship.)
Minamitsu	#0@274So that's how it is then? Too bad. The guards will throw you out, once we get to our destined place.
Minamitsu	#0@282But we're entering Hyper Space as we speak, so just hold on to something for now!
	Minamitsu Murasa defeated
Minamitsu	#1@30You're a tough gal... I like that. Maybe I shall keep you a bit longer.
Sanae	#1@38WaitwaitWAHAAT! Hyper Space? You mean, I'M STUCK HERE??
Minamitsu	#1@46C'mon then, it'll be fun. I'll mix us some gargleblasters, read you some more of my poems...
Sanae	#1@54But I can't go to space now! I've got school tomorrow!
Minamitsu	#1@62Where we're headed, it is much more fun than your dull school.
Sanae	#1@70I don't believe you. My school is really fun and I have lots of friends there.
Minamitsu	#1@78You don't need those anymore. You've got us now.
Sanae	#1@86Where are we going anyway...?
Minamitsu	#1@94The hippest place around this outer spiral arm of the Galaxy: The ever great Planet Hissyfits!

	♪ Somewhere out in Hipper Space
	Nazrin enters
Nazrin	#2@30Whaaat? The super unpopular school girl took a hike with us?
Sanae	#2@38That mouse again! You really ate my UFO-shaped cookies, didn't you?
Nazrin	#2@46Yeah, so? They weren't really good anyway. Your baking skills are as good as your social skills.
Sanae	#2@54You're so mean! I worked very hard on them and wanted to share them with my friends!
Nazrin	#2@62Yeah, I betcha would've be really popular, sending all your friends to the dentist...
Nazrin	#2@70Anyway, I still have a job to do here. I finally found what I was looking for.
Nazrin	#2@78Now Master Shauna won't chew me out, because I recovered her precious Power Latern!
	Nazrin defeated
Sanae	#0@34Where in Space am I...? Captain Debbie said this place is totally hip, but...
Sanae	#0@42It looks kind of eerie. Just like Aunt Priscilla's basement at home.
Sanae	#0@50I don't like this. I wanna go home~
	Shou Toramaru enters
???	#0@58We've been waiting for you!
???	#0@130Now that you're here, we can begin with the ceremony.
Sanae	#0@138Who're you? Can you tell me how to get home?
	<Boss title>
Shou	#0@146I am Tiger Shauna! Tiger-Man's biggest fan and follower of the mighty Queen Bea Crane.
Shou	#0@154Now that Mousie recovered my Power Lantern, and with you becoming a new member of our group...
Shou	#0@162...we can finally give our dear Queen a warm welcoming ceremony.
Sanae	#0@170I don't understand. Just who ARE you people?
Shou	#0@178More time for explanations later, now come quickly and wear this.
Sanae	#0@186What is that?
Shou	#0@194It's a bee pendant, the ultimate proof that you are now part of our hive.
Sanae	#0@202I don't think I need that.
Shou	#0@210But then, how will you be able to greet our Queen?
Shou	#0@218She will eat you alive if you don't wear it!
Sanae	#0@226But I don't want it! I don't want any of this! What am I even doing here?!
Shou	#0@234So, you set foot inside our ship, came all the way here and now you wanna go home all of a sudden?
Sanae	#0@242It was an accident...
Sanae	#0@250I've had enough! You can either tell me how to get home right now, or I'll have to show you my powers!
	♪ Tyger Tiger, Burning Bright
Shou	#0@258Oh, you wanna duke it out? Fine by me.
Shou	#0@266If you can truly hold up with me, I will tell you a little secret.
Shou	#0@274But I'm warning you... I've watched every single episode of Tremendous Tiger-Man!
Shou	#0@282With the moves I've learned from him and my Power Lantern, I will STRIPE YOU DOWN!
	Shou Toramaru defeated
Shou	#1@30Darn it...! Why did Tiger-Man's most powerful moves fail on you?
Sanae	#1@38A snake's poison can even put the sturdiest tiger to sleep.
Sanae	#1@46...at least that's what my Aunt Priscilla said, or something.
Shou	#1@54Well then, I promised I'll let you in on a little secret.
Shou	#1@62Our ship is out of fuel. So if you wanna get home, that's a no-go.
Sanae	#1@70Whaaat?
Shou	#1@78Hold on, there's another way. All you have to do is to wear the bee pendant.
Sanae	#1@86I see. You're saying that your Queen might know a way to get me home?
Sanae	#1@94Hmm... what would Aunt Prescilla say at this moment?
Sanae	#1@102"Samantha! Did you see my beauty magazines anywhere?"
Sanae	#1@110...never mind. Allright then, gimme that stupid pendant.
Shou	#1@118So you'll come with me?
Sanae	#1@126Yeah, let's go and greet her!
Shou	#1@134That's the spirit! Just one word of advice:
Shou	#1@142The Queen can be pretty stingy. So make sure to always act like a bee around her.

	♪ The Hive
Sanae	#0@34This place is even eerier than before...
Sanae	#0@42Why did that Tiger person send me in here all by myself?
Sanae	#0@50I have a bad feeling about this.
	Byakuren Hijiri enters
???	#0@58*snip... snip* Ahhh, what goes here... in this my hive?
???	#0@130A visitor, huh? Oohhh, feels fresh n' alive!
Sanae	#0@138Ah, is this the queen?
Sanae	#0@146Excuse me, your majest-... bee? Could you bring bee back to Earth, please... uh, buzz buzz.
???	#0@154Hmmm, sending you back to that totally unhip and dull place? I could do that with a *snip snip* and a *bongo-bong*, but...
???	#0@162Be a little more groovy here and tell me what lead this little bee chick to my realm.
Sanae	#0@170Funny story. See, I flew after your UFO to take some nice... But that's not important, who exactly are you? ...(buzz)
	<Boss title>
Byakuren	#0@178Who stands before you goes by Bea Crane. Queen of the Hive and Master of my Reign.
Byakuren	#0@186Pretty long time ago I ruled over the whole Galaxy, until those JERKS TRAPPED ME HERE!
Byakuren	#0@194But hey... yeah, you listening? You look and talk like a bee, but aren't you one of those monster hunters?
Sanae	#0@202Well, only part-time. I'm actually a regular school girl... and very popular.
Byakuren	#0@210School girl and monster hunter, and a bee on top, eh? mmmmnnh, whata jive!
Sanae	#0@218Yes, those monsters at home can be a real nuisance sometimes, so my friends showed me how to deal with them.
Byakuren	#0@226Well, no need to worry about those anymore. Once I take over, everything will be cool and groovy.
Sanae	#0@234Excuse me?
Byakuren	#0@242Like said, I was trapped here. But I really made something out of this place.
Byakuren	#0@250It took a pretty long time, but it looks like sending my brainwashing drones all over the galaxy was worth it.
Byakuren	#0@258Now it is time to leave and take over what was once mine.
Sanae	#0@266Wait, you mean that UFO and those monsters I met were...?
Byakuren	#0@274Under my complete control, sent here to free me!
Byakuren	#0@282And now, my little bee... How about becoming part of my glorious hive?
Byakuren	#0@290You will receive the highest status. All the nectar you can drink... and your desired popularity.
Sanae	#0@298I would never do that! I will take you down here, even it means I'm stuck here forever!
Sanae	#0@306Besides, I'm pretty popular already...
Byakuren	#0@314Is that REALLY the case?
Sanae	#0@322(Allright girls? When Samantha tries to sit at our table we shan't talk to her, is that clear?)
Sanae	#0@330Uh-oh...
	♪ Queen of Cadence ~ Cosmic Colony
Byakuren	#0@338Well, how about it? Do you want to return there as a person nobody likes...
Byakuren	#0@346...or change your way of life and become the next queen? All I need to do is snip my fingers and...
Sanae	#0@354...when I'm done with you, you're finished with snipping. And I will have SOME STORY TO TELL MY FRIENDS AT HOME!
Byakuren	#0@362Ehehehehh... A-HAHAHAHAHAAHHH!! How naive!
Byakuren	#0@370Then it shall be! Come at me! And a nice pair of bongos I will make out of ye!!
