Honey tried activating her counterpart and frowned, as she was unable to wake her up. She figured that she would need far more time and understanding of her counterpart's functions before waking her.
"This is going to be a while. I can't leave her or this research here," Honey muttered. "I think it'll take me a week to get everything, including her, into my hideout."
Honey quickly did so. She sighed and was about to work on her counterpart when she heard the radio report of a group called Panther Claw kidnapping a Professor Utsugi.
"Well little sister, it looks like I now know what needs to be done," Honey said. "Honey Flash!"
A flash of pink light surrounded Honey and her clothes vanished, as her hair shortened and darkened to black. A motorcycle uniform formed around her and a motorcycle formed beside her.
"Hurricane Honey!"
Honey leaped onto the cycle and sped to where the hostage situation was taking place. She stopped and shook her head in amusement. In front of her looked like the entire police force of Japan surrounding what looked like one large woman dressed in gold armor. The woman was holding onto a rope that was wrapped several times around an average sized man wearing a white lab coat.
"Now that's silly. Let's see Panther Claw probably has some men disguised as some of the police officers," Honey muttered in amusement.
Honey watched as a woman pulled out a megaphone and yelled at the gold woman. The police behind the gold dressed woman spun and revealed themselves as members of Panther Claw. She chuckled at the sheer silliness of the way the scene was playing out.
"So, that's Nat-chan. She looks a bit healthier than my old friend," Honey muttered.
Honey's amusement faded as the Panther Claw members started rushing forward with guns drawn.
"Time to interfere," Honey said and gunned her motorcycle towards the scene.
She arrived just as the members of Panther Claw surrounded Natsuko. Just as Gold Claw snapped her fingers and the men started firing, Honey had managed to get Natsuko out of the circle of men.
"Are you all right, Officer Natsuko?" Honey asked.
"I could have handled that," Natsuko said.
"Um. You were surrounded by men about ready to fire on you. Other than falling flat as they fired, I can't see how you could have handled that," Honey said with a slight smile.
"Well..."
Honey looked back and saw Gold Claw was looking around for Natsuko after her men shot each other.
"Time to discuss things later. We have problems," Honey said, and slung Natsuko over one shoulder and ran towards a barricade made with police cars. She quickly jumped over the hood of the car and placed Natsuko down.
"Stay here. I'm going to rescue Professor Utsugi."
"But..." Natsuko said, and then looked around in shock. "Where did she go?"
Natsuko peered from behind the car and saw that Professor Utsugi had vanished from the chains. Gold Claw was frantically looking around. Before Natsuko could move, she heard a female voice beside her.
"Stay with Officer Natsuko. I have to deal with this nonsense."
Natsuko stared in shock, as the girl who had helped her stood up and walked away from Professor Utsugi and towards the members of Panther Claw. Honey had a determined look on her face.
"Panther Claw! I have no idea why you wanted Professor Utsugi. I do not care. I will not allow you to awaken your Demon Lord Mistress Panther Zora!"
Gold Claw blinked in confusion at that proclamation. "Panther Zora?"
Shaking her head, she pulled out a megaphone and yelled into it.
"Who do you think you are little girl? We are Panther Claw and what we want, we get!"
"Who am I?" Honey asked with a smirk and a bit of a laugh. "Sometimes I am an expert motorcycle driver. Sometimes, I am a detective. And sometimes, I am an ace mechanic. But the truth behind them all... Honey Flash!"
A blast of pink and white light blinded everyone for a few seconds and Honey had changed to her standard battle form.
"The Lovely Warrior Cutie Honey!"
"You look like you might be more fun to play with than these police," Gold Claw said.
A group of men started spinning into view around Honey. Right before they fired, she leapt out of the crossfire and planted her feet against the side of the ship in the harbor and propelled herself downwards.
Ripping off her armband, she tossed it and cried out, "Honey Boomerang!"
The armband weapon sped around, striking each Panther Claw man in the throat and returned to Honey. She quickly caught it and placed it back on her arm.
"Panther Zora must be getting desperate for help, if this what she's sending out now," Honey stated in somewhat disgusted amusement.
Everyone stared in shock as the men dropped from the attack and dissolved.
"I see that she still has that bit of her troops self-destructing when defeated," Honey said.
Gold claw stared at Honey with a bit of anger. "I don't care what you are saying. I will personally defeat you for our leader Sister Jill."
"So she's still alive as well," Honey said with a shake of her head. "If this is the way you want it..."
Honey lifted her sword and braced herself. Gold Claw took a deep breath and stomped her foot on the ground, cracking the pavement.
"Gold Attack!"
Gold Claw did a stomping charge forward with her arms pumping up and down forcefully at her sides. Before Gold Claw could reach Honey, she shifted her grip on the sword and tossed it straight at Gold Claw. The sword buried itself between the breasts of Gold Claw with the force of a missile and she staggered backwards from the impact.
"Impossible!" Gold Claw yelled, as she pulled the sword out and dropped it beside her.
As she was clutching her chest from the sword wound, Honey raced forward and grabbed her sword off the ground and tried to bring it down on Gold Claw's head with an overhead smash. Gold Claw recovered just enough to bring her claw blade up to stop the attack.
"Not bad little girl. Join us."
"Join you? The servants of Panther Zora killed my father and wrecked by home. I will never forgive her or you. Ahhhh!"
Honey's sword, the Silver Floret, started glowing with a white light and soon was surrounded by a sheath of energy. The energy blade quickly multiplied its length by a factor of ten. The blade of white energy came crashing down and bisected Gold Claw. Honey leapt away and gave a shrill whistle. The two halves of Gold Claw exploded from the overload of energy.
Seeing that the police will still staring at her in shock, Honey gave a quickly salute. "Be seeing you."
She jumped up and her swan-shaped plane, the Honey Comet, dove under her and caught her in the cockpit. Natsuko stared in disbelief at what had just happened. The reporter, Seiji Hayami was stroking his chin and looking in the direction that the Honey Comet went.
"She looks like what Professor Kisarigi was working on, but something is off about her. Who is Panther Zora?" Seiji mumbled to himself. "That plane is something else. It's not even mentioned."
