[We begin in the middle of a fight scene. Raven, in magical girl form, is flung across a table in the cafeteria, landing against a few trash cans.

Wolf Girl 	Ha! You're no match for the Extracurricular Cryptid Club! [howls]
Raven 	[sitting up] Why the heck are you attacking me? What did I ever do to you?!
Wolf Girl 	Ha! Wouldn't you like to know, Little Miss Popular?
Raven 	I would like to know! [sotto voce] Why does everyone keep saying that?
[Raven glances back at the knocked-over trash cans, and sees a T-bone steak that spilled out from one of them. She picks it up; upon seeing the steak, Wolf Girl instantly becomes distracted. After Raven tosses the steak aside, Wolf Girl vaults over tables to fetch it, before turning back around.] 	[Raven glances back at the knocked-over trash cans, and sees a T-bone steak that spilled out from one of them.

Wolf Girl 	Huh?
[While Wolf Girl is distracted, Raven lands a flying kick to her face, causing her to tumble backward over tables until she winds up being knocked out. We pull back to see an imp-like creature watching over the scene from the shadows. He speaks with a noticeable New York accent.] 	[While Wolf Girl is distracted, Raven lands a flying kick to her face, causing her to tumble backward over tables until she winds up being knocked out.

Gibbons 	Ooh, wait 'til the boss hears about this!
[Gibbons flits through hallways until he reaches the front door of the Room 424 World Domination Club. A small pet door rises from the floor, labeled "Gibbons" in the Jokerman font. He bursts through the pet door.] 	[Gibbons flits through hallways until he reaches the front door of the Room 424 World Domination Club.

Club Leader 	Yes, what is it, my loyal subject, Gibbons? ...Who has always been here.
Gibbons 	Oh, you're not gonna believe this. Raven defeated another club, just like that!
Club Leader 	And who failed me this time?
Gibbons 	It was the Cryptid Club, sir. That Cryptid Club creep got clobbered!
Club Leader 	I see. This Raven girl may be more of a threat than I initially imagined. [leafing through a book] So far, our attempts to recruit different students to defeat her have turned up sour. Gibbons! Get ahold of another one-star student for next week.
Gibbons 	Next week, sir?
Club Leader 	Yeeees. I was thinking of some sort of "student of the week" scheduling would be enough to take out this "magical girl".
Gibbons 	Eh, boss... Why don't we send more than one student after her?
Club Leader 	[intrigued] ...How many were you thinking?
Gibbons 	Errr... how's about... all?
Club Leader 	[thinking aloud] Hmm... Send all the one-star students...
Gibbons 	No, that's not what I-
Club Leader 	Excellent idea, Gibbons. Go on and alert the rest of the one-star students that their services are needed.
Gibbons 	Uh, okay! You got it, boss!

Club Leader 	Off! Off!

Cut to black, then cut to the school bell ringing.] 	[The now-fully-visible club leader covers himself.

Mr. Ryu 	Very good work today, everyone. I'll see you all tomorrow on Monday. And thank you, DrillGirl, for your amazing presentation on geothermal energy.
[DrillGirl stands next to a presentation featuring scale models of dinosaurs with a trifold display board labeled "Funny Guyz". Raven is asleep at her desk nearby.] 	[DrillGirl stands next to a presentation featuring scale models of dinosaurs with a trifold display board labeled "Funny Guyz".

DrillGirl 	Thank you, sensei. It was my pleasure to inform everyone of the truth.
[DrillGirl leaps up and begins drilling through the ground, causing her presentation to fall apart. Raven can be heard snoring as Berrycream Frosting and Dark Shi leap torward her.] 	[DrillGirl leaps up and begins drilling through the ground, causing her presentation to fall apart.

Berrycream Frosting 	Hey, Raven! Class is over!

Raven 	[groggily] Wh- huh? Oh, hey, Berrycream. Sorry. I've had a real rough day today. I got into another fight with some weirdo student.
Dark Shi 	Yeah, we heard about that. She was the girl from the Cryptid Club, right?
Raven 	Yeah. [yawns] And I feel like it won't be the last time I get into a fight this year.
Berrycream 	Well, you know, Raven, me and Dark Shi can help you out every once in a while.
Dark Shi 	Yeah, we wouldn't mind backing you up. It must be hard to do this all alone.
Raven 	Oh, thanks, guys, but I think I can handle this myself. Who knows? If I'm lucky, maybe tomorrow, everyone will forget I'm super popular and just leave me alone.
[Raven looks confidently towards the camera with her arms on her waist. Cut to Raven in her magical girl outfit, far grumpier and in the exact same pose, as angry rock music starts playing. This begins a montage where Raven fights many students all in a row. The camera pulls back to reveal her first set of challengers, Shino Bee of the 4th Period Ninja Club and Crabella of the 4th Period Pirate Club. Shino Bee throws bees at Raven, causing her to become disoriented; Crabella follows up by smacking Raven with crab claws, tossing her back. Raven shakily gets on her feet and winds up a punch.]	[Raven looks confidently towards the camera with her arms on her waist.

Raven 	Leave me alone!

Zero 	Wait a second... blue hair?!

Raven 	[annoyed] Oh, come on!
[The boy is revealed to be Zero of the Martial Arts Club. He runs toward Raven and attempts to kick her, but she dodges and grabs him by the leg, hammer-throwing him into the air. Zero begins charging up a Rasengan, but Raven — now in magical form — nonchalantly fires a laser from her wand, causing him to explode as the sky turns green. Cut to another student throwing darts at Raven, which she frantically avoids. As the student laughs, his name appears: Dart Man of the Varsity Darts Club.] 	[The boy is revealed to be Zero of the Martial Arts Club.

Dart Man 	Muhahahahaha-HA-haha! Nobody can dodge my darts forever!
[Raven turns her wand into a dartboard, which she uses a makeshift shield to avoid the darts. She leaps into the air, throws the dartboard at Dart Man, then kicks him in the face.

[She is interrupted by Raven doing exactly what she said. Cut to Raven sliding back on her heels. The camera turns around to reveal her final challenger, Paul Phoenix from Tekken. An announcer says his name, and it is revealed the club he belongs to is unknown. Paul laughs and charges up energy, but as Raven braces herself for his attack, he is interrupted by Berrycream and Dark Shi holding him down. Berrycream is holding her butterfly knife.] 	[She is interrupted by Raven doing exactly what she said. Cut to Raven sliding back on her heels.

Shinji 	Hey.
Raven 	[taken aback] Agh! Who the heck are you? Are you trying to fight me too?!
Shinji 	No, no. Not looking for a fight. Just wanted to talk. My name is Shinji, by the way. I've noticed you've been getting into a lot of squabbles with other students recently.
[Raven's fists are balled. After a moment, her tension fades, and she unclenches her fists.] 	[Raven's fists are balled. After a moment, her tension fades, and she unclenches her fists.]
Raven 	Yeah. Not exactly the most popular girl like everyone says.
Shinji 	Quite the opposite. You're getting into these fights because you're the most popular.
Raven 	What do you mean?
Shinji 	I'll just get to the point. You have become the target of a group that calls themselves the Room 424 World Domination Club. Specifically, it's their leader that's set their sights on you.
Raven 	The leader of the club, eh? And who is that?
Shinji 	The student that you're looking for goes by the name Albert Tensai.
[An image of Albert Tensai fades in as Shinji speaks.] 	[An image of Albert Tensai fades in as Shinji speaks.]
Raven 	[internally] Albert Tensai? That means "genius"! [out loud] And where can I find this Room 424 World Domination Club?
Shinji 	Its location is shrouded in mystery, but some believe it's somewhere on the fourth floor of the school, next to the men's bathroom.
Raven 	...Is that the one on the right-
Shinji 	The one on the right, yeah.
Raven 	Okay, cool. But why are you telling me all this?
Shinji 	Let's just say me and Albert... have some history.
Raven 	[looking away] ...Well, thank you, Shinji. Maybe we can-
[When she looks back, Shinji has disappeared. She stands in silence for a few moments. Cut to black, then back to the school hallways at sundown. We see a few interior shots of the school, and a shadow passes by the men's bathroom. Finally, Raven stands in front of the door to Room 424. She knocks, and the door is answered by Gibbons. His eyes are shut as he recites a canned speech.] 	[When she looks back, Shinji has disappeared. She stands in silence for a few moments. Cut to black, then back to the school hallways at sundown.

Gibbons 	I apologize, but the Room 424 World Domination Club is currently no longer taking applications for one-star students as we move into the second phase of-

Gibbons 	Ah! We just got that door!
Raven 	[pointing] I'm here to speak to Albert, the ruler of the 424 World Domination Club.
Albert 	That's Lord Albert Tensai.
[Albert steps out of the shadows, properly revealing his true appearance. Gibbons flies up to Raven's ear.] 	[Albert steps out of the shadows, properly revealing his true appearance. Gibbons flies up to Raven's ear.]

Raven 	Alright, Lord Albert Tensai. I know it was you who's been sending all these people after me. What's your deal?
Albert 	Hmph. Wouldn't you like to know, Little Miss Popular?
Raven 	Ugh, yes, I would.
Albert 	Oh. Alright. You see, when I was awoken from my thousand-year slumber, I had a genius plan. A perfect, perfect plan that surpassed the triflings of this lowly school.
[A flashback shows Albert being kept in a containment chamber at the other school down the road. His dimmed glasses light up as he is awakened.] 	[A flashback shows Albert being kept in a containment chamber at the other school down the road. His dimmed glasses light up as he is awakened.]
Albert 	But in order to enact those plans, I needed the Room 424 World Domination Club to be the most popular club in school. And I can't do that if you're the most popular girl in school.
[The other one-star students appear in silhouette.] 	[The other one-star students appear in silhouette.]
Albert 	That's why I enlisted the help of various students in this school to do my bidding. But I can see the weaklings that are the one-star students have all failed. As expected.
Raven 	But then why did you-
Albert 	And now that you're here, I can take matters into my own hands!
Raven 	I was thinking the same thing!
[Raven transforms into her magical girl attire and superpowers in a transformation sequence.] 	[Raven transforms into her magical girl attire and superpowers in a transformation sequence.]
Raven 	Alright! So then does that mean you're going to fight me now?
Albert 	Oh, you'd like that, huh. Gibbons! Summon the Distance Demon!
Gibbons 	You got it!
[Gibbons procures a pan flute and plays a few notes on it. An arrow bursts through the ceiling, followed by several more; Raven runs away to avoid them. A large and imposing figure wielding a crossbow lands in front of her, causing her to leap back. As she lands and the dust settles, the figure crushes and tosses away their crossbow. The camera pans up to reveal the figure's identity: Locke the Distance Demon. "Push It to the Limit" begins playing as Locke chuckles.] 	[Gibbons procures a pan flute and plays a few notes on it.

Locke 	I love this school! I want to live here.
Albert 	Yes, Gibbons! This will surely make us popular.
Raven 	[internally] No good... I can't get an opening on this guy.
[Locke stares her down, and then pulls the axe off from his back. He is hit by a book, tossed from off-screen. The camera pans over to show Berrycream and Dark Shi standing in the doorway.

He shakes the girls off and roars in anger.] 	[Locke lunges at the two with his axe, but they jump in separate directions.

Albert 	Curses! As expected, I was defeated by the power of teamwork... the worst kind of power! We'll meet again, Raven. This isn't the last you've seen of Lord Albert Tensai and the Room 424 World Domination Club!

Raven 	Thanks for the help back there, guys. But why did you come and save me? That was supposed to be my fight.
Dark Shi 	Well, we're your friends! We'll be there for you no matter what!
Berrycream 	Yeah! You don't have to do all of this alone!
Raven 	I- I don't?
