Eleven years have passed, and Luna has become integrated into Mayan society. Meanwhile, Platinum's oldest daughters have moved out, and Mara and Platinum are now raising two new children: a boy named Mingyu and a girl named Xiaoling.
"Kids, we're going to Guatemala." Mara says. "My friend Mortilda believes she may have finally found your Aunt Luna living among the natives there.
"Is she anything like Aunts Ruri and Lanbaoshi?" Xiaoling asks.
"Well, not exactly," Mara says, "but she's my sister, and I miss her."
"Do we get to stay with Aunt Ruri and Aunt Lanbaoshi?" Mingyu asks.
Ruri and Lanbaoshi appear behind them.
"Actually, we're coming as well." Lanbaoshi explains. "Besides, why should we rob you kids of the opportunity to meet Aunt Luna? I'm sure she has plenty of stories to tell about her life in the jungle."
"Lanbaoshi!" Mara exclaims. "How are you and Ruri doing, sister-in-law?"
"Ruri's doing fine." Lanbaoshi says.
"Then let's all hop on my flying cloud." Platinum says. "Don't worry, it's solid. I use it all the time."
The group flies off to Guatemala where they find Luna.
"Who goes there?" Luna says.
"Is it really you, sister?" Mara asks. "I've missed you."
"You've missed me?" Luna replies.
"We all have." Ruri responds.
"And who are these children?" Luna asks.
"They are my children." Mara responds. "Luna, meet Mingyu and Xiaoling."
"You mean, you and Platinum actually produced offspring?" Mara asks.
"Does that really sound so crazy?" Mara says. "Platinum is actually a really nice guy. Anyway, I wish you would return to Japan with us."
"Sorry, sister." Luna says. "This place is my home now, and these are my people. These people need me, but you can visit any time you'd like. Just be careful of the wildlife."
Meanwhile, in Germany, military robots patrol the streets of Weimar, shooting all civilians on the streets.
Mortilda chops one of the robot in half.
"Where did these robots come from?" Octavia asks. "Who's even running this military?"
"Obviously the city government has been overrun by the bourgois." Mortilda explains. "Heartless corporate bastards who only care about money, and who use everbody lower than them in the heirarchal pyramid as slave labour."
"You seem to feel very strongly about this subject." Octavia replies.
"Of course." Mortilda says. "It takes a rebel to see through all the ways the establishment brainwashes people, and I am the ultimate rebel."
"What that sounds like," Octavia says, "is you being jaded."
"Of course I'm jaded." Mortilda says, tears running down her eyes. "If you aren't just as jaded, then are your eyes even open right now? Look around you. Innocent people are being shot in the streets, and all of this is because scociety has allowed some large conglomerate to become powerful enough to scare even the kings, queens and emperors who are supposed to be running these countries. Well, I am Mortilda Ragnagild, and I refuse to just sit by while the elite basically become terrorists."
