Summary[]
Tesla angrily punches a punching bag being held in place by Gauss after a Net Police report lists her as thirty years old. After punching the bag so hard the chain holding it from the ceiling breaks and Gauss is sent flying, Tesla demands that Saiko and Sunayama accompany her to destroy the Net Police. The two try to convince Tesla it was just a typo, but she screams at them for not seeing that the Net Police is trying to challenge her.
At the fireworks factory Nenji and Napalman argue about what color a firework should be. Netto and Nenji’s Boss watch from the doorway until Nenji notices them. Netto asks Nenji if he could help with a firework show at a Net Police sponsored event. Nenji agrees immediately, meanwhile Napalman and Rockman catch up. Nenji and Napalman bicker over Napalman’s name before Nenji asks what the event is. Netto takes Nenji to a robot fighting contest called The Net Police’s FP-30 as it’s the 30th robot fight held by the Net Police. The day of the fight arrives and a participant is seen getting ready when he’s punched and knocked out by someone in his locker.
The fight begins with the Net Police’s robot, Thirty, up against another robot, but the other robot is defeated immediately. Manabe notes that something is off as Thirty is using an ability it shouldn’t have. That’s when Thirty destroys another robot and starts blasting the audience with water. Manabe, Netto, and Nenji run up to confront the person piloting Thirty, but they’re shocked to find out Tesla is the one inside and having Magnetman pilot and control the robot. Nenji asks who Tesla is, calling her an old lady, which angers her greatly and she demands that Magnetman destroy Netto and Nenji. The two run for their lives as Tesla chases after them in Thirty. However, when they think they’re safe she breaks through the door. Rockman tries to tell Nenji to stop calling Tesla an old lady and to call her Miss, but he dismisses Rockman which angers Tesla even more. She commands Magnetman to continue chasing after them. Meanwhile, Gauss has hacked into the Net Police’s report and changes Tesla’s age from thirty to twenty-nine.
Netto and Nenji continue running, calling Meijin for a Dimensional Area, but Meijin isn’t able to get one to them as they keep running around. Magnetman tries to tell Tesla that the robot is beginning to overheat, but she ignores his warnings and demands he keep attacking them. Nenji plugs in Napalman to stop the robot, starting a fight between Magnetman and Napalman. However, because he’s distracted with the fight, Magnetman was unable to prevent the robot from overheating and loses control of it, causing Tesla to be thrown out and getting stuck on a part of Thirty. Thirty comes to halt, allowing for Netto to call for another Dimensional Area. However, because of Tesla, Netto is unable to attack the robot without risk of hurting her. The system is beyond repair due to the overheating and Magnetman plugs out to prevent being deleted, leaving Napalman to deal with the system alone. Tesla is thrown off the robot, but Nenji manages to save her from the fall. Despite this, Tesla flees.
Napalman pilots Thirty and drives it to a junkyard where he drives it into a car crusher. Netto and Nenji run in to save Napalman, but they’re stopped by Tesla in Cross Fusion, who blocks the compactor. While Tesla and Netto fight, Nenji tries to get Napalman to plug out, but the system is deleting itself and he’s unable to plug out. Luckily, Manabe tells Nenji that Napalman was plugged into the memory unit on the robot’s right arm and he rips it off of Thirty right before it’s crushed, allowing him to plug Napalman out. The fight between Netto and Tesla is interrupted as Gauss runs into the fight, showing Tesla that her age was corrected. Tesla declares this isn’t the end and flees with Gauss. At Neo WWW’s base Tesla once again beats up a punching bag as a new article estimates her age to be thirty three. Saiko and Sunayama watch with fear.
