Bloodberry entered the small apartment in time to see Cherry revived. Cherry had a big belly..and that was an understatement! Cherry was the littlest of the 3, therefore her stomach was so big that she had trouble keeping her balance. Bloodberry explained what had happened and what she had found out.
"The Master's life force saved us?" asked Cherry.
"Looks that way" said Bloodberry.
Inside Cherry's stomach, Otaru was forced into a tight ball. He couldn't move much in the small stomach. Bloodberry's stomach had been MUCH roomier than this. "Let me out, Cherry...I want to talk to you three"
Cherry heard Otaru and prompty spat out her master.
"Are you okay?" asked Cherry.
"Yeah...a little stiff, though" said Otaru.
"What's up, Otaru?" asked Lime.
"I never considered that if you three ate me, I would be able to revive you" said Otaru.
"Your life force revived us" corrected Bloodberry.
"Yeah...well, whatever" said Otaru. "the main thing is that I give you all permission to eat me anytime you want"
"All of us..?" asked Bloodberry faintly. Bloodberry was about to protest, but stopped when Otaru gave her a pleading look.
"All of you" said Otaru.
Lime instantly made a lunge at Otaru, but Bloodberry stopped her.
"Hey, I want to have Otaru in my tummy" said Lime.
"Otaru is a timeshare now" said Bloodberry.
"What's a 'timeshare' ?" asked Lime.
"That means all of us take turns on eating Otaru" said Cherry.
"Correct" said Bloodberry. "Since there are three of us...hmmm....this will need some thinking"
Outside, Tiger slowy got to her feet. She had remembered what had happened minutes ago. That Bloodberry was able to survive the EMP...but how? Bloodberry should've been dead. Unless...unless, Otaru's life force had saved her. After swallowing Lord Faust so many years ago, Tiger remembered that she had absorbed some of Faust's life force into her body. Meaning, that she could've survived the EMP too. Since Bloodberry survived the EMP, that meant that she had eaten Otaru.
Back in the apartment, the three marionettes were working on a timeshare. Otaru was just happy to see everyone was okay. His life would get more interesting now, now that he was on the menu of Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry.
Finally, the 3 marionettes decided on a timeshare.

Sunday ---- Free for all on Otaru
Monday ---- Bloodberry gets to eat Otaru
Tuesay --- Lime's turn
Wednesday -- Cherry's turn
Thursday -- Bloodberry again
Friday --- Lime's turn
Saturday --- Free for all

"I won't make it easy for you to eat me" said Otaru. "I need to be..."
Suddenly, Hanagata rushed into the apartment.
"I deserve to be on that list!" yelled Hanagata.
Bloodberry knocked out Hanagata cold.
"He never learns, does he?" giggled Lime.
