The day after the battle against Sachiel, Octavia went out for a walk, seeing lots of crowds talking about her. Some members of the crowds wore gray and held cellos to emulate her because she had become a famous superhero. "Hey everypony, it's the girl who saved Tokyo-3 from that giant...thing!"

Octavia was not surprised to see that she was being praised so much. Unlike Shinji, she REALLY got to enjoy her victory as she was hailed a hero. She also was not whiny or spineless. However, as she continued down the streets, she met one of Shinji's classmates, Toji Suzuhara. He was angry with her for inadvertently injuring his sister. "Octavia Melody, you must be that superhero everypony's talking about. You hurt my sister when fighting the Robeast that killed Shinji, did you?!? I am one of his classmates."

Octie had no idea she did that. "Honestly, it would have done more damage if I hadn't shown up."

"You DID! She was crushed under a pile of debris when you sent that Kaiju through a wall last night. Only a flying superhero could have done that by throwing him with such force. I won't feel right until I hit you." He threw a punch, only for her to block it with her cello. He then screamed like Tom in the Tom and Jerry franchise.

She replied, "Bad idea, Average Joe. You don't want to try to hit somepony who's clearly stronger and more skilled than you."

"Average Joe? I'm Toji Suzuhara! Remember that name. I hope you're happy with the damage you've done."

Octie held up her cello. "Don't insult me again. I'm the replacement for somepony who would only make things worse and depressing. Unlike him, I willingly decided to protect Tokyo-3. I want to give its population a bright future."

Then she heard a huge siren, accompanied by a typical security machine voice: "ALERT. OUR CONTROL POINT IS UNDER ATTACK. DEFEND OUR CONTROL POINT!" At this point, she readied her cello, bow, and flying platform before arriving at the control point.

On top of the control point stood Shamshel, a large pink beast with lightsaber whips for arms and one big, red eye. It then started attacking the crowds who were enthusiastic about her. Octavia shot Shamshel with a kinetic blast from her cello. Though Shamshel's AT Field prevented him from taking any damage, the kinetic force from the blast tossed him sideways before Octie ordered the crowds to escape. But some of the nameless extras stayed, insisted on emulating her fighting skills, and confronted Shamshel as soon as he got up. They threw bows at him, but his AT Field let him brush them off easily. He then floated up before whipping and exploding them.

While floating up on her platform herself, Octavia was distracted by the crowds trying to be like her. "Don't try to emulate me when you obviously aren't equipped to break AT Fields!" Shamshel then grabbed her platform and threw her off it. She threw her bow to cut the whips, then caught it as it returned to her. Then her freed platform flew to break her fall. Then the whips regenerated to attack her. Her bow turned into a lightsaber to swat them aside several more times. She then used her bow boomerang attack to intercept Shamshel's attempt to grab more innocent bystanders. Then Octie played some notes to charge and release another AT Field-destroying blast. After destroying the AT Field, throwing Shamshel backwards, and cutting his whips one last time, Octie smashed his big red weak point with her cello, blowing him up. "Lightsaber whips are cool and all, but you're no Jedi, Indiana Jones, or Jedi Indiana Jones. As for moi, I don't need batteries unlike the robot that got killed earlier."

As she got off her platform, Toji talked to her again. "That was a fun fight to watch. Now to make up for my attempt to hit you, HIT ME AS HARD AS YOU CAN!"

Octie questioned him. "Are you really sure? I just blew up another Robeast-"

Toji then yelled, "JUST DO IT! OR ELSE!"

Octie smacked him so hard that he flew through a wall, landed in a cart of fruit, and exploded. But he was still in one piece, unlike Shamshel who got obliterated. "Ouch."

The next thing Octie saw in the streets was the blue-haired girl that had been heavily bandaged earlier. "It's the girl from the GeoFront. Was she also piloting a giant robot?"
