I am curious to see how Dakota went from Sailor Moon to Lara Croft.

...that would make for kind of a cool show.
Good Lord. I'm shocked that all my years of shooting people in bunny outfits has in no way prepared me for this.

Wait. Dakota aced Anastasia's entire army single-handed? If she could do that with the wand, that thing is seriously overpowered. :|

Then again, I suppose that isn't much different than most video game heroes, who also solo entire armies. So I can't complain too much, but still. I guess that also sorta justifies Hecate's fear of it. Aside from it being a divine relic, that is. :-??

Did Dakota do it alone? Most magical girls of this type come in teams or have some help.

Hey, Gotoh's vidoe game analagy now makes me wonder if Carmen Chamelia could have helped

I am loving this story line so far. So now we find out how two girls managed to have a child. We have had Sailor Moon parody, so now time for some Ranma?

Beware, Melissa. When you make a Dreamworks face, it might get stuck that way!

THEORY: Since they were so close together when the portal collapsed, one of them got pregnant with Mel due to some weird essence-transfer thingie. Like those constant transporter malfunctions in Star Trek.

I'm assuming this wasn't an accidental pregnancy for a number of reasons.

Really though, Dakota just keeps getting stranger in my eyes. Maybe it was just the result of basically being hijacked by Destiny so often that caused her weird mix of traits.

I agree. It seems that we have seen at least 3 different "Dakotas", personality-wise: the naive and childish girl before she even heard of things like magic, the dutiful and efficient crime-fighter, though still a bit more flashy and silly than necessary, and the current-era Lara Croft expy, featuring few-to-none of the (personality) characteristics of her past selves.
And though I admit that I can envision scenarios were a person can go through all these phases (and thus change like that, especially when such extreme, life-changing events were taking place), the fact that by necessity we're getting the abridged version of events, only seeing brief flashes of Dakota's life, makes her appear quite inconsistent (almost schizophrenic, in the NON-medical term).
Let's see first what "things got weird(er)" actually means though! ;)

keep in mind that we're talking about the difference between dakota as a teenager & dakota as a 30 something year old working father. that's plenty of time for her to grow up into a completely different person.

Well they're entwined and the wand has power over clothing, looks like Melissa is about to be traumatised.

A volcano's a volcano, wherever it's located. That said, teleporting Melissa to a Kingdom one of her mothers conquered years ago wouldn't be quite as incompetent as teleporting her to back to her bedroom, but it's right up there.

And yeah, I can't help but feel you're rather underestimating Queen Obscuria and Musical Starlight. Never mind the Wand that trumps Hecate.

Well Anastasia seems to be very quiet after "Rub it in, Why Don't You?" ... not sure what to make of Anastasia expression in last panel. "How am I ever going to live this down?" comes to mind but sure others will correct me.
