== Ultimate Charge: ==
Guardian Heatbeatdown*: QCFx2 + HA (The background turns into a dark blue hexagon pattern with his emblem appearing in the center for a while as Heart Guardian prepares by signaling her wand as she says "Ikuzo! (Translation: Here I come!)" and then starts to hit her opponent with it. Once it connects, the background turns black as she spins her wand and starts to conjure a big heart-shaped energy as she says "Guardian Heartbeatdown!" and then launches the spell towards her opponent, hitting him/her in the process. The heart-shaped energy is shattered in a "glass" style effect as he/she falls down before dissintegrating into fading energy, killing him/her immediately. After the attack, she spins her wand before rises it in truimph before she says "Heart is the strongest of all mahou (translation: magics)! Believe that!". If done against Valiant Schoolgirl, she gets shocked as her wand falls down to the ground before she shakes her head in angst after revealing she just killed her best friend as she says "This can't be possible! I just killed my tomodachi!" instead. If done against Greed-O-Crazy, she sticks her tongue disrespectfully before she says "No more dirty games for you, baka!" instead.)

Sayuri Wakaba used to be one of the famous J-Pop Idols in Neo-Tokyo, like the late Rina Yamanaka before her.

Fired by her agency and earned the ire of her former fanbase, she wants to restore her public image by transforming into the Mahou Shoujo known as Heart Guardian.
== Stage 4 Interlude - VS. Biker Hopper ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in the Neo-Tokyo Bridge. Heart Guardian is walking to search clues, that is until a bike runs in lightspeed to scene.)
Heart Guardian: "Hey! Watch out where you run!"
(Biker Hopper leaves out of his bike and steps to the ground as he talks with Heart Guardian.)
Biker Hopper: "Sumimasen! It's just that I must return the stolen patents to Bio-Tech!"
Heart Guardian: "No time for jokes, Makoto-kun! What do you know about the scandal?"
Biker Hopper: "I don't know about that scandal are you talking."
Heart Guardian: "It happens that I killed a stalker, which attempted to poison me!"
(Biker Hopper immediately reacts by fighting Heart Guardian, which she reacts back for a while.)
Biker Hopper: "Murderers like you have no place in this sekai (Translation: world)."
Heart Guardian: "You don't understand? I'm Sayuri Wakaba!"
(Both stop fighting for a while before they walk to the square one.)
Biker Hopper: "Shame that a former singer like you have commited an iredemmable crime!"
Heart Guardian: "For your information, I must reconnect with my former fanbase!" *summons her wand and grabs it*
Biker Hopper: "Prepare to be punished in the name of seigi (translation: justice)!" *assumes his fighting stance*
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Heart Guardian grabs a downed Biker Hopper to get up for an interrogation.)
Heart Guardian: "Now, give me answers, Makoto-kun!"
Biker Hopper:  "I noticed that you got fired from the idol agency, Sayuri-chan."
Heart Guardian: "Yeah... like I would care!"
(Heart Guardian holds off of the hold, landing Biker Hopper to the ground.)
Biker Hopper: "What's wrong with you? I thought you want to find a way to reconnect with your former fanbase."
Heart Guardian: "Emotional scars are forever... Remember that one of the AKB48 idols got demoted because she was caught dating!"
Biker Hopper: "Rina Yamanaka was also caught dating with Carlos Velásquez, but she later returned to business thanks to her contract with Fulgor Estelar and subsequent transition of the Rhythm Battlers as a musical band. They got happily married afterwards."
Heart Guardian: "And do you expect that I'm signing with Fulgor Estelar? They will never allow me because of my crime."
Biker Hopper: "Think about it, Sayuri. I say this for your sake."
(Heart Guardian pushes Biker Hopper out of rage and ignores his words.)
Heart Guardian: "Ugh... there's no way I can reason with you!"
Biker Hopper: "Sayuri, what are you doing?"
Heart Guardian: "As a matter of fact, I quit to that stupid group belonging to that French majo I'm no longer friends with!"
(Heart Guardian throws her Team Identification Card to the ground and uses her wand to use a spell to dissapear it entirely.)
Biker Hopper: "This means you are actually joining the Supervillain Resistance?"
Heart Guardian: "Even better than those baka-tachi of the Resistance! I'm rebelling with my lover, Mach Volcano!"
(Heart Guardian launches a chain spell from her wand to trap Biker Hopper before she teleports out of the scene. The camera focuses on a trapped Biker Hopper struggling with the magic chains.)
Biker Hopper: "Hey! Come back here, you cynical girl! This is an injustice!"
== Stage 7 Interlude - VS. Ground Wrecker ==
=== Pre-Fight Cutscene: ===
(Scene takes place in Construction Area's Workshop. We see Ground Wrecker preparing to stomp the ground.)
Ground Wrecker: "Say goodbye to the Workers' Syndicate!"
(And just when Ground Wrecker almost stomps the ground. We see a wand being thrown, and immediately hits him.)
Ground Wrecker: "Hey! Who's here?"
(The wand immediately retun to Heart Guardian's hand.)
Heart Guardian: "It's me, Heart Guardian! Your days as a bouncer are counted!"
Ground Wrecker: "Yeah, like your stinky career as a frustrated J-Pop Idol!"
Heart Guardian: "Baka! My career ended because I murdered a stalker!"
Ground Wrecker: "Besides him, how many people you killed?"
Heart Guardian: "Tell that to yourself for those buildings you demolished!"
Ground Wrecker: "Now you're getting me mad!"
(Ground Wrecker stomps the ground, creating an earthly pillar where Heart Guardian is located, but she evades it easily.)
Heart Guardian: "Nice try! *signals Ground Wrecker with her wand* "However, it's time for you to be punished for your crimes!"
Ground Wrecker: *goes to his fighting stance* "In any case, I'll break your not-so pretty face!"
=== After Match Cutscene: ===
(Ground Wrecker is still laying down but capable of talking.)
Ground Wrecker: "I lost! Why?"
(Heart Guardian stomps on Ground Wrecker's chest with her boot.)
Heart Guardian: "You are an excellent rappu inu (Translation: lapdog) for the Resistance, Morani. But you must learn to heel."
Ground Wrecker: "What are you doing with me?"
Heart Guardian: "Something that I'm always planning to do with you for a long time!"
Ground Wrecker: "Wait! I haven't finished--"
(Heart Guardian kicks Ground Wrecker's face, leaving him unconsciousness. She then uses her wand to create a magical "handcuff" to arrest him.)
Heart Guardian: "This will learn you to never destroy public property!"
(Heart Guardian talks with Mach Volcano through her ear communicator.)
Mach Volcano (via communicator): "How long are we waiting for the rebellion's preparations, Sayuri?"
Heart Guardian: "Almost closer, watashi no ai."
Mach Volcano (via communicator): "Great! However, what are you going to do with that demolisher for hire?"
Heart Guardian: "I'm considering sending him to a maximum security prison, where he will await a sentence for life."
Mach Volcano (via communicator): "And what about executing him before he commits more felonies?"
Heart Guardian: "Shh... I'd rather kill the mayor than a potential slave for us once we rule this city with iron fist."
Mach Volcano (via communicator): "Ooh... him. Good luck in your crusade, my girl!"
Heart Guardian: "Back at you, Francis-kun!"
(Heart Guardian finishes the conversation with Mach Volcano before she looks an unconscious Ground Wrecker for a last time.)
Heart Guardian: "Yoku nemure, i otokonoko (Translation: Sleep well, good boy)."
(Heart Guardian, with a smirking smile, leaves the scene by using her wand to teleport. We focus on a still unconscious Ground Wrecker.)
== Mid-Boss Cutscene: ==
(Scene takes place in the mayor's office. The doors are open as Heart Guardian is entering. Greed-O-Crazy gets an anime-styled nosebleed once he sees her.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Konichiwa, kawaiiko-chan!"
Heart Guardian: "No time for excuses to flirt me, you sly pig!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "So, you finally realized that I hired the stalker in first place."
Heart Guardian: "That's what I came here in first place!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Truth is... you were never virgin to begin with."
Heart Guardian: "Nani? (Translation: What?)"
Greed-O-Crazy: "¿Ya lo olvidaste, querida? (Translation: Have you forgot, my dear?) I sent undercover robotic cameras to record every part of the city... this even includes that private moment of yours."
(Greed-O-Crazy shows to Heart Guardian, a video of Sayuri having an intimate moment at her short age with her own manager of adult age, in his Smartphone [by the way, the video itself is not shown on-screen], in front of her, shocking the Mahou Shoujo in the process.)
Heart Guardian: "That is child pornography! I demand you to delete this video!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "The stalker you just killed, happened to be your own manager who was obsessed with you back when you were a singer!"
Heart Guardian: "How dare you to ruin my J-Pop career!"
(Greed-O-Crazy gets up from his seat, presses a button to summon a powered armor for him to wear, and starts to walk to the square one.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Your eyes tell me that you actually enjoyed sleeping with him after finishing a concert. In other words, you just broke the "No Date" clause yourself!"
Heart Guardian: "Enough talk, Emilio! In the name of the hearts, I will punish you!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "But if I beat you, te expondré como la actriz pornografica infantil que eres en realidad! (Translation: I'll expose you as the child porn actress you are in reality!)"
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Sub-Boss Cutscene: ==
(Greed-O-Crazy is defeated but he gets up easily.)
Greed-O-Crazy: "Please, have piety on me, Sayuri-chan!"
Heart Guardian: "Not until you delete the video... but you will face impeachment for your corruption acts to this city afterwards!"
Greed-O-Crazy: *smirks* "Too late! I viralized the video to the forbidden sites of Internet and you will be remembered as the one who sucked and then screwed her own stalker out of pleasure!"
(Heart Guardian walks closer to Greed-O-Crazy and grabs him out of rage.)
Heart Guardian: "Forget it... I'll kill you for ruining my life!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Wait a minute! We can negotiate!"
????: "Stay away from her, Emilio!"
Greed-O-Crazy: "Oh, dung!"
(Heart Guardian backs off as a white energy ray is coming somewhere and it hits Greed-O-Crazy, effectively dissintegrating him to death via black silhouette before the camera returns to normal.)
Heart Guardian: "I remember hearing his voice somewhere... is that you?"
(And it turns out, the one who did it, turns out it's Major Megapower, whom everyone thought he was dead, but in reality, he's alive and well. He shows up to scene.)
Major Megapower: "It's me, Sayuri... in the flesh!"
Heart Guardian: "I'm glad you're still alive, Major Megapower!"
Major Megapower: "Truth is... I'm disappointed with you."
Heart Guardian: "You actually heard of that scandal?"
Major Megapower: "As it turns out, sleeping with an adult man like him actually ruined your own good image in first place."
Heart Guardian: "No... that's not possible!"
Major Megapower: "Sayuri, I understand your reason to become a superheroine, to restore the public perception they have of you."
Heart Guardian: "That's why I wield the wand in first place."
(Major Megapower grabs Heart Guardian's arm and goes flying with her to an abandoned observatory. Later, we cut to both of them landing to scene.)
Major Megapower: "You don't understand? This is not the perfect moment to apologize with your former fanbase."
Heart Guardian: "Of course it is, Megapower-sama! I just want to be famous again!"
Major Megapower: "Sayuri, fame is not always good. You need better things to do."
(Heart Guardian pushes Major Megapower out of lack of respect.)
Heart Guardian: "You know what... I no longer respect you, baka!" *pulls an eyelid taunt*
Major Megapower: "Guess I have no choice than to teach you good manners."
(Both assume their fighting stances.)
== Final Boss Cutscene: ==
(Major Megapower is trying to get up.)
Major Megapower: "You want to restore your career?"
Heart Guardian: "Yes! I do!"
Major Megapower: "Then, you must stop him now!"
(Just as Heart Guardian tries to help Major Megapower, the screen turns black as we hear Major Megapower's death scream followed by blood splattering sounds by an unknown force before it retuns back to normal with Heart Guardian getting shocked.)
Heart Guardian: "I can't believe it! You killed him!"
????: *laughs* "The lovely J-Pop Idol turned Mahou Shoujo."
Heart Guardian: "You better show up, piece of kuso (Translation: dung)!"
(Major Megapower's corpse [whose gory hole in the back is not shown on-screen] starts to dissolve into ashes and then we are treated with a black substance, and forming from it, is Xenozydos.)
Xenozydos: "You should be glad that Xenozydos, mastermind of the biggest catastrophe you're witnessing now, shows up to you!"
Heart Guardian: "I am Heart Guardian, magical heroine of love."
Xenozydos: "Heart Guardian? More like, heartless man eater who likes to get fornicated with every men you encounter out of pleasure!"
Heart Guardian: "You think I'm heartless? I don't think so!"
Xenozydos: "Admit it, the day you killed your own stalker of a manager, I feel how hatred and discord is starting to awake on you."
Heart Guardian: "He deserved it for trying to poison me. That happens when someone toys with one's emotions."
Xenozydos: "For what reason you want to restore your public image? To connect again with the people?"
Heart Guardian: "Yes, I do! I even left The Team because of this!"
Xenozydos: "Foolish child, you don't realize that the people inhabiting this city are Homunculi. There's no way the Overlord's precious children can adore you like a "goddess"!"
(Heart Guardian now remains indifferent for Xenozydos' words.)
Heart Guardian: "I now understand about the truth of Wonder City, but calling me a "goddess" is an understandement!"
Xenozydos: "And you have no choice than to pick two options: Join me in my personal war game and help the Overlord devour the life source of the entire planet... or die refusing my offer. There's no middle ground."
(Heart Guardian just laughs with malice, finally revealing her true colors.)
Heart Guardian: "Not going to happen! If anyone wants to help the Overlord and lead an army of Homunculi... is me!"
Xenozydos: "Insolent girl!"
(Xenozydos turns the abandoned observatory into an eldritch area filled with all things Lovecraftian, and above them, is the Overlord of the area, complete with a watching eye.)
Xenozydos: "So you finally showed your true colors, promiscuous harlot!"
Heart Guardian: "Your kokoro (translation: heart) will be extracted so I can embrace my inner hatred!"
Xenozydos: "It's time for you to get a cardiac arrest, Heart Guardian!"
(The final battle begins as both assume their fighting stances.)
== Ending: ==
(The scene returns to the abandoned observatory as Heart Guardian holds the ripped black heart of Xenozydos as she gleefully smiles with malice.)
Heart Guardian never imagined that a dark side inside her is awakening, so she used the opportunity to kill Xenozydos in cold blood and extract his heart.
Heart Guardian: "Why this world needs a heroine, when I got the opportunity to live longer... as a villain!"
(Heart Guardian absorbs Xenozydos' heart, turning her outfit with black and dark pink coloring and changing it to a more macabre variation.)
Ever since her murder of the stalker, Sayuri's heart was filled with hate and despair, to the point of losing her goodnees and eventually embracing darkness, discarding her heroine name immediately.
Heart Guardian Reaper: "I finally realized who I am in reality: Heart Reaper, the one who will rule Wonder City with despair in their hearts!"
(Later, we see in the now eldritch Neo-Tokyo Plaza, how Valiant Schoolgirl gets shocked when her former friend now leads an army of homunculi in front of her.)
This has earned the attention of her former friend Sophie Jeanette, who's shocked for the fact that she now leads an army of inhuman Homunculi.
Valiant Schoolgirl: "Sayuri... why you did this?"
Heart Reaper: "I'm no longer a heroine, Sophie! From now on, you will bow before me... and the Inhuman Empire!" *laughs*
(The screen fades black after the ending.)
(Ki:Theory's "Enjoy the Silence" starts playing as the credits which background is a blue wall with hexagon patterns with the emblems of the characters showing up at once while the credits are rolling.)
