She explains what happened to her finds an impostor taking her name. Shiki fights Jamilov, which Rebecca deduces that he's using cheats. Hermit suggests they use cheats of their own to beat him. Meanwhile, Homura chases after her impostor, who reveals herself as a G.I.A. spy, Amira.

## Summary

Everyone is in shock at Homura's betrayal. She tells Shiki that the girl he's protecting is just data, but he argues that she's still alive as he pulls out the arrow. He adds that she has a heart when Homura states that the girl is only running a program to emote fear. The others are confused and hurt by her betrayal and Shiki states how he thought they were friends as Homura expresses that she will be joining Drakken Joe. Pino questions her search for Valkyrie, but Homura counters that they believed that story. She loads another arrow and prepares another shot as a warning. However, Jamilov orders the imps to open fire. Shiki can't dodge as the arrows would hit the townspeople, just as the arrows get closer Another Homura arrives and slices the arrows. This Homura explains that when she arrived on this planet she was in a jail cell and spent a day making her escape and another to gather information, leading her here and is angered at finding someone using her name. Speaking aloud about her interest in taking a male appearance, the others take this as confirmation of her being the real Homura. Annoyed, Jamilov uses his scythe to eat the imp monsters and fires a laser beam to destroy more of the town.

The impostor escapes but Homura chases her down, while Shiki decides to fight the mass murderer. Weisz is annoyed that Jamilov didn't get hurt, which Rebecca notes that he has the perfect cheat. She explains that he has illegally modified the planet's data to give himself an advantage, making Weisz wonder how they are supposed to beat him. Hermit blandly answers that they just have to use cheats of their own. In the forest, Homura is still chasing her impostor, who summons her steed. Homura follows suit and summons her own Turn-to-Timonium and notes the unusual riding posture of her impostor. Realizing that she doesn't have to mimic her behavior anymore, she reveals that she can copy a person's appearance, personality, and memories, changing her appearance back to her own. She informs that she used Homura's identity to get close to Jamilov and introduces herself as Amira, a spy of the Galactic Intelligence Agency. Homura points out how loose-lipped she is for introducing herself, which Amira is stunned for channeling some of Homura's personality.
