EPISODE 2: Bathhouse Blitz! Save the Black Cat and the Golden Butterfly!
May 25 - May 31
TIMELINE
5/25-5/29 Dowsing Machines
5/27 Art Contest
5/28 Investigate: Bathhouse
5/30 Mystery Plot
5/31 Showdown: Vaporpilia & Rescue: Niangniang

The race to find Niangniang has begun! Nautis has given everyone dowsing machines that look like little toys to track Niangniang via magic leak. They beep with increasing frequency when in proximity of the source, which means they're not exactly discreet, but they're the only way the Nova Knights themselves can track Niangniang. Just try to make sure it doesn't get taken away in class! Those who attend Everwave Academy may notice that it beeps a lot at the school, but...there are no cats to be found on campus.

Everwave Academy sends a memo to all faculty, staff, and students' families that the school guidance counselor Optimus Prime has resigned in order to "pursue other professional opportunities", leaving the position temporarily unfilled until they hire another counselor.

On the 27th, final scores from Shelley Lustre's art contest are announced. Maya's little cousin Pearl won first place and Kalim secured third place. Natalia's submission, however, was disqualified.

Even though the Nova Knights' investigation efforts aren't entirely successful, on the 31st, Nautis alerts the whole team with the near-certain knowledge that Niangniang is at the Golden Butterfly and is at risk of being captured by the enemy, and that they've all got to get there quick!

> SOS! SOS! Alert! Alert! We've got a situation!
> I've got a fix on Niangniang's location, but it looks like the enemy does too!
> All Nova Knights, report for action! I'm sending you coordinates now.
> JK, it's the Golden Butterfly Bathhouse ^_^
> The enemy is sure to be sending their strongest monsters to capture our mascot, so be on your guard!
> Normally I'd be kind of OK with letting the enemy get their hands on her, but we kind of need her. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Oh well!
> Which means you all need to get your magical keisters in gear. Duty calls! Time to go supernova!


While Mutsumi arrives a little too late to help, Jamil, Kalim, and Natalia make it to the bathhouse in time to defeat the bathhouse butterfly monster Vaporpilia and save a very drenched black cat. Once the action is over and the steam clears, Niangniang the cat unexpectedly poofs into human form. Niangniang was reincarnated as a human like the rest of them, and her true identity is...Maomao?!

Neither Hope nor Maya made it to the bathhouse, however, nor did they respond to Nautis's messages. Once they've ensured Niangniang's (Maomao's) safety, Nautis tries once again to contact the two Nova Knights who never made it to the battle, only to discover that they're nowhere to be located in Chalra City. Nautis realizes too late that Maya and Hope must have been trapped in the Abyss by the enemy. The situation isn't hopeless, however — unlike Nova Zenith's case, she can still track their magical signatures, even if only faintly, which means they can be saved.

The full mission results can be found here.

Neos pinches the bridge of her nose. "No, no, you are correct in your assessments-- there is no possible way I can leave her alone with you two. What was I thinking?"

Regardless, she can't escape the sickening feeling in her heart, a feeling like she's about to sink into the floor of the Nashira. "What about the others?"
