Hey there~ First things first, I apologize for the late update.
I've been a little caught up with some stuffs even after exams are over..
Second thing is. I think that my story is getting a little too draggy but I'll do my best!
Without further ado, let's begin!
Chapter 14 Sayaka pov
Meeting Room 1 [/b]
"I'm pretty sure that the opposing force still does not know that Yuko's alive." I leaned back at my seat as I looked over to Mariko. "I'm not too sure about that. Remember back then when we found her?" Mariko started. I nodded my head after I managed to recall back the incident.
"Jurina and Yuko encountered one of their robots and the chances of said robot informing the others at their base is high." Mariko sighed as she looked worriedly at me.
"True. So now there are two possibilities. 1. The opposing force is not aware that Yuko's alive. If that's so, I believe that they won't have their guards up." I looked over to Mariko who nodded her head in agreement.
"If that's so then we are at advantage. With how everyone is progressing now, we have high chances of winning this war." Mariko kept silent, lost in thoughts before she added. "But we should not underestimate them regardless on whether are they aware that Yuko is alive." She said as she frowned.
I gave her small nod in understanding. "The second one would be that, they are well aware that Yuko is alive. But I truly doubt that they know.." After some thinking, a light bulb was lighted. "The robot that you were talking about earlier, I just remembered that some of our people helped to bring said robot back, they even operated it to get information after confirming that the thing was fully robot."
Mariko looked at me with her eyes widen. "What?" I asked her confused. "Seriously? You left out the most important detail?" Mariko groaned in her seat as I gave her a nervous smile. "Sorry, there was so much going on that I forgot about it." I sighed as Mariko soften her expression and waved the matter off. I ran my fingers over the keyboard and soon, said folder appeared.
"What was the result?" She asked after she got behind me. "Base on her memory card, she only encountered two Chosen Ones. Our scientists believe that the robot was a newbie and it doesn't recognize Yuko as well. Her communication line wasn't even activated." I red the report that was updated into the mainframe.
"That's good news. I believe that we can start planning on our strategy based on the second possibility." She said as I gave her a small nod in agreement.
'This is going to be a long day..'Meeting Room 2
No pov "Hmm.." Yukirin said as she analyzed both documents. "Milky, why did the the Namba base started experimenting on a cure for the wound on Yuko-san's back?" Yukirin asked as she looked over to Milky curiously before continuing to read said report.
"The fact that Yuko-san was caught as she was investigating, was something that even all the other sister groups know. We were all very worried throughout the years but recently when we received information that Yuko-san is alive, we were really glad. We wanted to come over right away to visit but we were all busy therfore we couldn't make it over until now." Milky smiled a little as Yukirin nodded her head in understanding.
"Sayanee heard that the wounds that Yuko-san received was really serious and that it may leave huge ugly scars. After confirming that, Sayanee privately talked to Sayaka, asking her for the permission to allow the Namba base to research on a cure for Yuko-san." Milky grinned before adding. "Sayanee really takes Yuko-san as her best buddy even after all these years." Yukirin smiled warmly as she recalled back the times they spent together when they were still a bunch of normal high schoolers.
"They were close back then we were back in school.." They fell into silence not long after. Milky gave Yukirin the time and space to analyze said documents.
About a whole 30 minutes later, Yukirin nodded her head frantically.
'It is possible to combined both our findings!!' She grinned and as Miyuki loooked questioningly at her. "We can combine both of our findings!" Yukirin gave a thumbs up as Milky looked at her in disbelief. "Really?! That'll be great!" Miyuki beamed while Yukirin nodded and started bouncing around like a kid.
"We can try to make a prototype first." Yukirin said as she gathered all the documents, gesturing for Miyuki to follow them to their lab. "Ah. I'll message Mayuyu and Kojima-san to tell them that we're at the lab." Yukirin added as she fished her phone from her pocket. Miyuki offered to help her carry said documents which was accepted by Yukirin politely.
Doctor's room.
Mayu pov'Ah.. I've done my rounds.. Thankfully everything is fine.' I sighed as I leaned back into the chair.
'I wonder is Kojima-san done..' I took out my phone and to my surprised, there was a message from Yukirin.
Sender: Yukirin~~
Subject: Yay!
Mayuyu!! After analyzing both documents, it is possible for us to combine both our findings to make a cure for Yuko-san! We'll be in the lab making a prototype! I'll see you later, don't push yourself too hard!
I grinned as I red the message. "That's a relieve.." I said as the door swung opened. "What is?" Kojima-san asked as I gave her a small nod. I passed my phone over to her and she beamed as she red the message. "This is great!" Her eyes beamed brightly making me let out a small laughter.
Soon her phone rang, signaling an incoming message. She took out her phone, unlocked it and opened the contents of the message.
Sender: Yuki-san
Subject: Cure
Kojima-san, we've analyzed both documents and it is possible for us to combine our findings to make the cure. You can come over when you're done with your job.
Her eyes widen as she pouted. "Even after all these years, she's still so formal with me." She passed me her phone as I red said message. "It's a habit already.." I said with a grin. She let out a sigh before continuing.
"You done with checking your patients? If you are, we could go over to the meeting room together." Kojima-san offered with a small smile. I nodded my head in agreement as we headed over together.
Training ground
Rena pov"Jurina, do you think you can train today?" I asked as I eyed Jurina worriedly. Jurina grinned and nodded. "We can do some light training and then head over to the mainfield to watch Yuko-san?" Jurina suggested as I thought.
'It is the best option for today since I don't want us to wear ourselves out.' I sighed as I gave her a nod. "We'll be doing physical training today. Planking, sit ups, push ups, lunges, crunches, squats, jumping jacks, frog jumps and chin up." Jurina stared at me wide eye. "Renachan~ We're supposed to do light training." She pouted as I giggled.
"Hai hai.. We'll be doing 5 out of all that I mentioned." I grinned a she let out a relieve sigh. "How many times?" Jurina started stretching her muscles. I smiled an evil smile. "Five hundred times." I teased.
"Renachan~~" She whined. "Two hundred times.." I said as she reluctantly agreed. "We'll start with sit ups?" She asked as I have her a nod. "Jurina got herself laying on her back as she looked me at. "Renachan. I need someone to hold my legs." She said as I walked over and held her legs.
"There.." Jurina nodded her head and adjusted herself before coming up. I started counting the amount of times she came up until she kissed me still with a wide grinned plastered. I stared at her in disbelief. "What are you doing?" I asked her as she looked at me innocently.
"I'm doing sit ups like you asked me to." Jurina said nonchalantly. "Does that involve kissing me?" I asked her as she gave a thought. She nodded her head furiously as I giggled. "No more kisses until you're done with all your physical training." I said sternly as she pouted but nodded her head in agreement.
'Too much physical contact..' Rena thought as a small blush makes it way on to her cheeks that went unnoticed by Jurina who continued on with her sit ups.
Takamina pov"As you all have heard earlier, everyone will be busy. Yuko will be training with Sayanee at the mainfield, Mayu-chan and Nyan nyan will be making their rounds at the hospital before going over to help Yukirin and Milky. Sayaka and Mariko will be planning on a new strategy while the rest of us will continue on with our training." I said as I looked into their eyes.
"WMatsuis will be on their own as Rena will be training Jurina and so it'll only be the four of us. We'll be doing speed running today. Speed running will help you to improve your fitness level in a relatively short time and increase your running speed. In speed running, you will alternate periods of fast running with periods of walking. In this way, you can do more fast–paced running in a given workout than if you continuously run without resting." They nodded their head in understanding and soon the Tomotomo pair started with their warm ups.
I smiled encouragingly at them as I discreetly reached out and gently squeezed Atsuko's hand who smiled back at me. "Let's do our best." We both said at the same time together, causing a little blush to arise on our face. "Hey you two, are you going to stand there the whole day, doing nothing?" Tomochin questioned, snapping us out of our daydream. "S-Sorry. Let's start!"
Main field
No pov"It's been a while since we last sparred right?" Sayanee said as she grinned widely at Yuko. "Mmhmm.." Yuko smiled as she stretched her muscles. "Right, I need you to do me a favor." Sayanee stated as she took a few steps back. Yuko looked questioningly at her as she stopped stretching. "I need you to attack me without holding back."
Yuko's eyes widen as she shook her head. "I can't control it. I don't want to hurt you." Yuko stated as she looked at her fist before making eye contact with Sayanee who seemed to be in a state of confusion. Realizing she phrased her sentence wrongly, she rubbed the back of her head sheepishly.
"Ah. I meant I need you to attack without holding back on this." She gestured to the boulders stacked up. "Ehhhhhhhhhhh?! Maji?" Yuko asked with her eyes wide opened. "Yes. I've asked Sayaka about this. The reason as to why we are doing this is, I need to know at least the maximum amount of strength that you can exert. Oh right, Sayaka also mentioned that this training session will be recorded for future purposes."
Yuko groaned as she rubbed her temples. "Alright.. Let's get started." Yuko stretched her arms before eyeing the rocks in front of her. "We'll start with a medium size bolder first." Sayanee stated as she placed said medium size in front of Yuko.
After Sayanee had retreated, Yuko closed her eyes as she calmed herself down. Yuko took a deep breath and as her eyes shot opened, she broke the boulder into pieces. "The amount of strength you're using?" Sayanee asked as Yuko stared at her fist. "15%."
Sayanee's eyes widen in surprised but she jotted it down. "If that's so.. We'll try with two huge boulder." Sayanee gestured for Yuko to start after she arranged it. Yuko nodded her head as she hit said boulder. "50%."
Sayanee nodded as a thought came into her mind. "Right, I've watched the video of you hitting the ground, leaving a big dent behind. Do you think your strength has grown?" Yuko nodded her head as she sighed. "Honestly speaking, if I have to compare, I would say that back then that was 80%.." Yuko sighed as she herself arranged five huge borders before hitting it, resulting in all of them to break.
"100%." Yuko whispered softly. Sayanee's eyes widen. "How are you so sure? You said you didn't know your maximum strength." Sayanee asked as she was confused. "I don't but this is the maximum I can control. I believe that there's something more but, I can't control it." Yuko looked nervously at Sayanee who nodded her head in understanding.
"Yuko. Try this." Sayanee arranged 20 huge boulders surprising Yuko. "Alright. I won't be holding back." Yuko sighed as Sayanee nodded.
Training ground "Did you hear something, chiyuu?" Tomo~mi questioned as she wiped the sweat that was dripping down her face. Tomochin sighed but nodded her head in agreement. "What was that?" Tomochin looked over to Takamina and Acchan who looked confused as well.
"Should we go have a look? After all, we're having our break aren't we?" Takamina agreed to Acchan's request and so the four of them started making their way over to said noise.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Renachan did you hear that?" Jurina asked as she looked worriedly around.
'What is going on?' Rena sighed. "Ne.. I think we should have a look." Jurina suggested as Rena complied.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Wow. Yuko, you broke all the boulders." Sayanee jotted it down as she walked over to the last boulder. "I think you can do more than that. Last try, we're going with 50 boulders. We'll see how far your uncontrolled strength can go." Sayanee added as Yuko nodded her head.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What are you doing here?" Takamina asked surprised seeing Rena and Jurina here. "We heard some noises.." Rena started. "So, we decided to check it out." Jurina added as Takamina nodded. "You weren't the one involved in making the sound?" Acchan asked as the two shook their head.
"I think it's Yuko. We should go to the main field." Tomochin added as she started making her way over followed by the others.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What was that?" Mariko looked questioningly at Sayaka who quickly typed a few things down on to the pc, opening the surveillance system. Seeing that the sound and vibration was coming from the mainfield, she let out a sigh of relieve.
Sayaka opened the mainfield footage as Mariko stood behind her closely, watching. "Usoo.."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ehhhhhhhhhhh?" Milky stated as she heard the sound. "What's happening?" She asked as Yukirin shook her head in confusion. The two headed over to the other meeting room, looking for Sayaka and Mariko.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Sayaka, what is going on?" Mayu questioned as Sayaka resize what she was watching on the the screen behind her. "What?!" Haruna shouted as she saw what was being shown on screen. She sprinted out of the room heading over to the mainfield. "I think I should head over as well." As Mayu was about to head out, she bumped into Yukirin and Milky who was making her way in.
"Oh hey there. I'll be coming back later okay?" Mayu said as she gave Yukirin a quick peck on the lips, causing her to blush. Mayu dashed out following Haruna as well. "W-What was that about?" Yukirin asked diet an eyebrow raised.
"Ehhhhhhhhhhh?! Is that Sayanee and Yuko-san?" Milky stated as Yukirin averted her eyes over to the big screen. "Maji?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What are they doing?" Takamina asked anxiously as they all watched Yuko who was ready to smash about 50 boulders. "Maji?!" Acchan for the first time stated with her eyebrows furrowed.
"Eh? Kojima-san. Why are you here?" Jurina asked surprised to see the doctor here. "What in the world are they doing?" Haruna stated as she rubbed her temples. "Mayu is here to, chiyuu!" Tomo~mi pointed over to Mayu.
"We heard a ruckus going on." Mayu stated as she looked into the main field and her eyes widen. "What the-" "No foul words Mayu." Takamina stopped Mayu from continuing. "I was about to say, what the fish!" Mayu sticked her tongue at Takamina who rolled her eyeballs.
"She's going to hit 50 boulders." Tomochin stated nonchalantly as all of them jaw dropped.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Ready Yuko?" Sayanee asked as she nodded her head. "Go all out." She whispered before Yuko started taking her stance.
That's it for now! And cliffhanger~
