Episode 23 -	Goddess of Destruction
	hagai no megami
First aired -	7th March 1997

As Pretty Sammy plummets from the school roof, it seems her fate is sealed. Fortunately, as Ryo-Ohki reminds her in time, she can save herself with her Pretty Teleport spell. She vanishes before reaching the ground, but because she still hasn't perfected that particular skill, there is no way of knowing where she is going to land! Luckily, a soft landing awaits her as she lands on the sofa in her own home. Strangely enough, Ginji and Honoka (Sasami's parents) seem to have been expecting her, and have even prepared a huge cake in her honour. Sammy tries to make her excuses and return to the battle, but seeing how upset Honoka would be if she turned down her baking, she has no choice but to stay and eat the whole cake!

On Juraihelm, the royal council have been forced to halt Tsunami's coronation until she returns balance to the scales of Gemini. With Sammy occupied eating cake, there is nothing to stop Love Me Eimi's rampage. Luckily, Tsunami's loyal servant Oryo offers to bend the rules slightly and give Sammy a helping hand.

Meanwhile, Romio commands her magical girl creation (via a remote control and an antenna on Eimi's head) to cause even more chaos. Her two Lovely Monsters, Left and Right, join their locks of razor-sharp hair to form one huge saw blade and begin to cut the entire planet in half, starting with the school building!

Having finally finished Honoka's colossal cake, Sammy heads back to the school. Misao and Ryo-Ohki meet her on the way and clue her up to the current situation. Eimi's reign of terror has now taken a musical turn as she treats the class to her dreadful singing. However, just as Love Me Eimi is about to resume her attack she is blasted by plasma beams. Out of the smoke steps Cool Red, one of the Cool Rangers from the famous TV show (see episode 12) - or at least someone disguised as her. She orders Eimi to call off her Lovely Monsters. Eimi refuses and fires back at Cool Red, who dodges quickly. Soon, the whole class is cheering Cool Red on, and poor Sammy, who has just arrived on the scene, is left feeling a little inadequate. Eimi gets her Lovely Monsters to stop sawing the planet in half and attack Cool Red instead. With the Lovely Monsters fighting her mysterious benefactor, Sammy chooses that moment to re-enter the fray, but even Love Me Eimi won't pay her much attention! Cool Red, in a break in the fighting, tells Sammy that Eimi is being remotely controlled. All she has to do is disable the antenna on Eimi's head to stop her. Sammy casts her Pretty Coquettish Bomber spell, breaking the antenna and returning Eimi to normal (and the usually straight-laced class president is horrified to discover the flamboyant outfit she has been wearing!). Without Eimi's magic, the two Lovely Monsters are weakened, and Cool Red dispatches them with ease. As she deals her final blow, her mask breaks and reveals that she is in fact Tsunami's guard and servant Oryo.

With the battle over, the balance of Gemini is restored. Without wasting another moment, the royal council order that the planet of Juraihelm be returned to normal space. Seen from Earth, the moon appears to grow and change, becoming another Earth-like planet in moments - Juraihelm has been restored to its original position. Tsunami's face appears in the sky over every town and city, on every television screen and computer monitor the world over to address the inhabitants of Earth. She brings a message of peace and tells the world of her plan to create a better way of life by joining the cultures of the two planets. However, her broadcast is interrupted by Romio, who reveals her own fiendish plot to destroy Earth.

On Juraihelm, Ramia rushes into Romio's room to demand an explanation. Romio tells her that her true desire is to see planet Earth destroyed. She then activates her NT (new technology) system, designed to drain all the magical powers out of Juraihelm. Across the planet the trees and plants wither and die, the rivers dry up, and everybody collapses as their own magical powers are drawn out of them. Ramia uses the last of her power to open up the portal to Earth, and she tosses Rumiya through, telling him to find Pretty Sammy and get her help.

From Earth, the view of Juraihelm is disturbing, as the planet changes from a beautiful blue and green world to a barren red wasteland. Things seem bad for the magical kingdom of Juraihelm. However, there is hope - Professor Washu's own NT system has just been completed...
