Synopsis:
After defeating a crazed research lab employee who has stolen a powerful new weapon, Duo Damsel returns to Legion Headquarters. She is required to deliver important papers to the planet Ikros, but the heroine wants to take a break. She divides into two girls and sends one on the mission, while her other self remains at headquarters with Bouncing Boy.
Sometime later, Luornu II (as Bouncing Boy has dubbed her) returns from Ikros with Nam'Lor, a hero of that world, as her fiance. When the two girls reform into one, a conflict emerges. They split again, and Luornu I believes that her other self is responsible for a series of crimes.
Bouncing Boy confronts Luornu II who orders Nam'Lor to kill the Legionnaire. Nam'Lor fights him, but he refuses to kill. He then explains that the Hyper-Aura that gives him his powers is responsible for turning Luornu II evil. He decides to leave which will cause the effect to wear off in a few days.
