18

Xiaomei challenges each member of Shiki's group to a series of duels to indulge her obsession with watching battles, as she has restricted her powers to prevent herself from foreseeing their outcomes. Shiki immediately defeats the first opponent, a metallic warrior, with a single punch; Rebecca wins the second match against a B-Cuber who uses a bullet-resistant force field, which she easily bypasses with an ordinary kick; and Weisz exploits a loophole in the rules to use Pino's EMP against the third opponent, an Ether Gear user with superhuman speed. For the final match, Homura is pit against a supposed replica of Valkyrie, whom she discovers to actually be a training robot programmed by Xiaomei to act the part after defeating her. Satisfied, Xiaomei reveals the real Valkyrie to be on the planet Sun Jewel, and warns the crew of future confrontations against others who seek Mother. (Source: Wikipedia)
