We open on Salusia. Seems the war with them and the Zardons has taken a turn for the worse; Zardon's have unleashed hell with their new mecha suits. The king ignores this and wants new fleet ships, damn the cost, whereas the queen asks their general to oversee the development of mecha suits of their own.
Back in Japan, Leeana has her showdown with Asrial. There's a problem, as Asrial refuses to fight her, since that would break the neutrality of Earth. Pity that Leeana doesn't have that same problem. Thankfully Hitomi is there with her special yoyo.
Securing Leeana, the gals go to find Jeremy. They find the Hitch Squad's ship. They also find the transformation chamber they stuck Jeremy in, but its empty. They soon find Jeremy, but he's been turned into a Salusian! (Largely due the Hitch Squad thought that would help make Asiral marry him faster. She does think he's cute though).
Leeana quickly recaptures him, although she notes how smart they were to turn him into a Salusian, the one thing she won't marry. No matter, she'll just pop him in Steamhead's invention, but that will more than likely destroy reality.
She's fine with this.
At this point, the heroes rally and run Leeana off planet. Turns out she's Dog Supreme's master. Big twist, right?
Not a bad ending, more plot development, even if the 'Jeremy is transformed-no wait he isn't' was resolved in record time. Jokes are good and the references are nice and not overwhelming.
