Kumiko and Gator Gal survive. Kumiko's clothes, however...

When the beam hit Gator Gal head on, the resulting explosion engulfed both combatants before sending them both flying in opposite directions. Gator Gal was flung to a brick wall, reducing it to ruble on impact as she let out a pained groan. The scaled woman had a stupid smile on her face as her head swam, tiny versions of Magical Girl Kumiko dancing around her head.

Kumiko, on the other hand, had been sent flying into an alleyway, crashing into a row of garbage cans that she knocked over on impact. Groaning, Kumiko got to her feet as she straighten her hat before dusting off her temporary outfit. However, she paled as she felt a surprisingly larger amount of skin then before.

Looking down, Kumiko gasped in horror to see that, while her hat, boots, and gloves survived the blast, the rest of her outfit didn't. She was naked on the street for the second time today! Except this time, it was much worse. Last time she at least had her cape!

Kumiko slapped an arm over her breasts and wedged a hand between her legs, her face blazing in embarrassment. She was sure that if she survived the explosion, then Gator Gal must have survived too, so she could just let the police cart the crazy alligator woman away while she head back to her home and get dressed before her mother got back and anyone else -

"Ha ha ha ha! Nice outfit, Magical Girl Kumiko! I can't possibly think of a better outfit to meet your maker in than the outfit he gave you!"

Kumiko jumped at the laugh in surprise... Only to then groan in annoyance at the voice. Turning around, the naked heroine came face to face with... A chubby man with pale skin, glasses, and a mullet with a red foam lobster claw on his right hand, a paper crown on his head, and wearing what looked like the lamest looking lobster costume of all time.

"Not you..." Kumiko sighed.

"That's right, Magical Girl Kumiko! Quiver in fear at the awesome might of your greatest foe in the universe!" The man shouted as he struck a pose, "The Lord of Lobsters!"

Kumiko groaned again in annoyance. Every hero and heroine had that one villain who tried way to hard to be considered a threat, and The Lord of Lobsters was, unfortunately, hers. The loser was originally a brilliant and nerdy computer programer who merely wanted attention, labeling himself as Magical Girl Kumiko's 'greatest enemy in the universe'. At first the girl thought it was sad, but after a while, it just became pathetic and embarrassing.

Especially when he had no powers whatsoever, and both Curb Stomper and Gweneral Gwuck combined were a bigger threat than him.

"And now, the last thing you will ever see is my Claw of Doom squeezing the life out of you!" The Lord of Lobsters exclaimed, waving the foam claw around on his hand. "I would say that it was a pleasure to have known you, Magical Girl Kumiko, Guardian of -"

"Yeah, yeah. Look!" Kumiko interrupted, just wanting today to end already. "I don't have time for whatever pathetic half baked idiocy your about to rant on and on about just so I can ignore you in case of an actual threat. I just need to -"

"Alright, ya little pipsqueak! I think dat it's time dat I crack your head open like an oyster!"

"And of course she wasn't knocked out..." Kumiko muttered flatly as she turned to see Gator Gal snarling as she stormed down the alleyway. Kumiko turned to run, but Gator Gal grabbed her by the shoulders and pinned the heroine to the side of one of the buildings.

"I hope you're an art lover, Magical Girl Kumiko, because I'm fixin' to paint dis building with your -" Gator Gal growled, only to stop as she felt another pair of eyes on her. Looking to her left, the alligator woman saw Lord of Lobsters staring at her, his jaw hanging as his cheeks went pink while the foam claw slipped off his hand. Narrowing her eyes at the man, Gator Gal harshly asked, "Und just what da hell are ya staring at, ya four-eyed hog?!"

"Forgive me, Madam." Lord of Lobsters apologized as Gator Gal turned her attention back to Kumiko. "I was simply taken by surprise. For never in my life have I seen such a radiant and beautiful woman such as yourself."

At that, Gator Gal dropped Kumiko to the ground, a trash bag breaking the heroine's fall as the alligator woman turned to look at the crazy fat guy in the poorly made lobster getup.

"'Radiant und beautiful'?!" She snapped, scoffing at the man as she snarled and pointed a clawed finger to her face, "Does dis looka like da face of a gal who matches dat description to ya?! Oya are ya so blind und stupid dat ya can't tell when a gal's at ugly at a mule's butt?!"

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my dear." Lord of Lobsters said with a smile as he held Gator Gal's hand, "And anyone who has eyes, can see you are a gift from the gods!"

"I'm not a smart gal, I'll admit dat." Gator Gal said with a glare as she yanked her hand out of Lord of Lobster's grip. "But anybody with brains can see dat ya are obviously lying to my face! Name one thing about me dat looks like it's beautiful! My gator teeth? My scaly skin?! My claws?!"

"Your gorgeous eyes."

"My ey-?! Wait, really? My eyes?" Gator Gal asked in shock, not believing what she was hearing. "Hold on a second here. You're actually serious? Ya think dat I'm... Beautiful? No screwing with me right now?! To you, dis," she gestured to herself, "is what ya consider beautiful?!"

The Lord of Lobsters nodded with a smile, leaving Gator Gal slack jawed and bug eyed in shock. "Wow." She whispered, looking down at her bare, clawed, webbed feet. "No one's... Ever called me dat before now. After da lab accident, any time i tried to swoon a guy, they'd scream und call me an ugly bayou beast."

"Well then, those guys were complete morons for thinking that about you." Lord of Lobsters said as he held her hand again. "You are drop dead gorgeous."

Gator Gal looked over the man in front of her and, for the first time since Kumiko could remember, she giggled. Gator Gal giggled like she was a freaking school girl! "You know, your actually quite easy on da eyes yourself dere, Podna." The alligator girl replied, playfully swiping her claws at him as she let out a playful growl.

Lord of Lobsters chuckled a bit before taking a sniff of the air. "What's that smell?"

"Oh, dat." Gator Gal replied, her cheeks going red as she let off an embarrassed laugh. "Well, my podna in crime, und only friend, has dis whole skunk gimmick to her, und when we were fighting Magical Girl Kumiko, I got hit in da crossfire. Sorry about dat."

"You know, I got a few gallons of tomato juice in my apart- Lair! My evil lair." Lord of Lobsters said with a sly grin, "Need a little help getting cleaned up?"

"Fresh!" Gator Gal replied with a playful shove to the fat guy's shoulder. "Didn't even take me out on da first date yet, und he already wants to scrub me down."

Kumiko had no idea what was going on as she watched one of her most dangerous enemies flirting with her most... Well, The Lord of Lobsters. However, she noticed that the supervillainess and the nerdy loser were surprisingly hitting it off with one another. So much so, that they had actually seemed to have forgotten about her. She could use this to her advantage!

Carefully getting to her feet, Kumiko quietly made her way pass the flirting villain and Lord of Lobsters, attempting to get back home and get dressed as she left Gator Gal and Lord of Lobsters for the police to handle. She just had to make sure they hadn't returned their attention back to her...
