===================
Minami’s POVI don’t know what exactly happened, but I know they were able to turn the switches. One minute there was just endless waters, and then the next we were being drained into the sea. A large whirlpool suddenly opened under us sucking us into it. For a moment, I thought we were goners. We held on for our lives as we were streamed into an undersea tunnel. At the bottom, there was air, but it was completely dark and the sun didn’t shine through. Our flashlights don’t seem to work either.
“What do we do? What do we do? Where are we? Are we stuck here forever??” I start panicking.
“Calm down, Bakamina.” Yuko’s voice appears beside me.
“I can’t see! Is everyone here??” Miichan’s voice rises in panic.
A loud gasping can be heard nearby. Someone’s hyperventilating.
“Oi! Everyone stop breathing for a moment!” Mariko-sama orders. I hold my breath. The hard breathing can still be heard.
“Who’s making that noise??” Kawaei asks. I don’t know.
“Everyone count off!” Mariko-sama yells.
“1!” Kawaei says.. and in the dark our voices sound.
“Who are we missing? That was only 11.” Sae says.
“Rena-chan!” Jurina calls. I hear the shuffling of feet as Jurina tries to follow the sound of the harsh breathing.
“Rena!” Jurina’s voice becomes shrill with fear.
“Geez…” Yuko’s voice mutters as a bright ball of light appear above us.
Jurina and Mariko-sama rush over to Rena who seemed to have collapsed after having a panic attack. They help her up and steady her until she calms down. Seeing Jurina, she grasps her hugging her tight. Jurina rubs her back, whispering words I can’t hear.
I look to Yuko with an eyebrow raised as she hovers several small orbs of light around the boat. Once she’s done, she notices everyone staring at her. Haruna doesn’t seem surprised. So this must have been the secret she had.
“Now not all at once.” She says putting her hands up.
Mariko-sama is the first to move, and ignores Yuko. She surveys our surroundings. I look around too. The tunnel we were in was transparent around us, and it seemed we could ride our boat ahead with the shallow water beneath. I’m sure it’s a one-way trip, there doesn’t seem to be anywhere else to go but straight ahead.
As nothing is said, Haruna walks up to Yuko and sets a hand on her shoulder. She gestures ahead. Yuko nods and sheds light down the tunnel. I get out a pair of binoculars from my pack to search for anything. Far away, against the light I notice a speck. Our boat sets course and we move slowly to it.
This must be the right way as nothing is happening. If everything was done right, we should be in the Triangle right now. So the way to get in isn’t by any normal means of transportation. Boat, plane, or submarine, it’s beyond us.
What was strange in this tunnel was the quietness. It left a feeling of uneasiness where we couldn’t help but maintain the silence. It was as if a sound was made, then all hell would break loose in here.
The boat sped in silence, luckily it didn’t have one of those noisy engines. As we approached what looked like the end, the tunnel opened out and somehow, someway, we could see the skies again. In front of us lay a large island. From what we could see of it, there was much vegetation and signs of life. The sounds of birds could be heard as we got closer. The tension aboard broke, and sounds of relief resounded off the boat as everyone let out the breaths they’ve been holding.
Yuko let out a loud yell. “It’s so hard to be quiet!”
“I’ve never felt like that before. It was like I was drowning, and we weren’t even in the water.” Milky says.
“I never thought I’d be thankful for noise.” Sae whines, stretching her arms out.
“Is this how deaf people feel?” Miichan asks.
“Don’t ask that.” Mariko-sama says.
“Rena-chan, daijoubu?” Jurina hugs Rena’s arm. Rena pats her head.
“I’m feeling much better, thanks to you.”
“I didn’t do anything…”
“You’re beside me and that’s enough.”
~~~~~
The boat is steered into shallow waters as we reach shore. After everyone gets onto the beach, I move the boat behind several large rocks. If there’s anyone really here, we don’t want them finding it.
When I’m finished, I meet up with everyone else on the beach to discuss our next moves. When I get there, I notice two people missing.
“Where’s Yuko and Paruru?” I ask, looking around.
“I sent them ahead. They’re going to do some scouting.” Mariko-sama answers.
“Then what do we do?”
“We wait.”
I shrug and plop onto the sand beside Haruna. She has a stick in her hand and is just doodling across the sand. I glance around and find Jurina and Rena starting to build a sand castle, Mariko-sama now ordering them how they should build it. Everyone else is walking along the edge of the beach, running a few steps back when the water gets close to their feet. Even in these recent events, it’s nice to see everyone still making the best of it.
*thonk*
“Itai!” I rub my head looking behind me quickly only to find a coconut on the ground. I look up and see a tall coconut tree standing above me. Must have been loose.
I get up and pick up the coconut, showing it to Haruna. I shake it, there should be water inside. I crack it open like an egg.
“Sorry, there’s no straw.” I say, offering her a half.
She shakes her head, smiling. She takes it from me and drinks. “We haven’t talked much have we?”
I laugh, “I guess not. Yuko doesn’t give me the chance to very often, and I’m usually with Atsuko. By the way, how are you two doing?”
“Hm…” She looks down, then up at me. “Well, there’s never a dull moment.” She says sighing, yet smiling.
I nod. She glances at me and nudges me.
“What?” I say.
She puts a finger to her lips and gestures her head to behind us. She stops me before I can turn around. I look at her confused before I understand what’s happening.
Haruna takes out her phone and types a quick message, showing it to me.
‘Just follow my lead,’ it says.
I bob my head up and down.
Haruna stands up and takes my hand to pull me up. She takes me to a pair of trees nearby, and searches in her bag for something. I look around.
“What are you doing?”
“I’ve always wanted to do this.” She replies, taking out what looks like a net?
Confused, I watch her as she hangs it between the two trees making sure it’s secure.
“Dekita!” She smiles at her finished product. It’s a hammock.
“Ok, now you get on it.” She says to me quickly.
“Wait, what? I thought you’ve always wanted to do this?”
“Just get on it.” She demands, “and just go with it remember.” She whispers softly.
“Sure, whatever you say.” I mutter climbing into it.
Haruna smiles and begins to swing me and I rock back and forth. I start to relax, throwing my hands behind my head and close my eyes momentarily.
I hold out a hand. “My drink” I call. Haruna smirks and hands me my coconut water I had left aside.
“Don’t get too used to it.” She whispers, then picks up a huge leaf before fanning me with it.
I get it now. Oh Kamisama, this feels great. I look over to her as she smiles at me.
“Would you like a foot massage?”
“Yes, please!” I grin.
As Haruna positions herself at my feet, we hear a rustling in the bushes. All of a sudden, a blur flashes by and tackles me out of the hammock. I laugh, blocking a fury of hard punches that aim for my face.
“Only I can be pampered by NyanNyan! Not you!” Yuko yells.
I laugh even more, pushing her off me.
Haruna laughs too, leaving Yuko to look at us confused.
“Nani?! NyanNyan??”
Haruna hugs Yuko from behind. “I thought you were scouting?”
“Already done. And I come back to find you tending to Bakamina there.” She glares at me.
I hold my hands up. “We’re just playing, calm down.”
Yuko looks up at Haruna. “Really?”
“Un, and we weren’t doing anything wrong really. I knew you were watching.”
Yuko’s eyes widen. “How?”
“Call it intuition.” She answers.
“Bu—“
“Yuko!” Mariko-sama calls, walking over to us.
“Can’t you see I’m busy?”
“We all are busy. Where’s Paruru?”
“Right behin—wait, where’d she go?” Yuko looks behind herself and around.
“Here!” Paruru’s voice calls as she emerges from a bush.
“Oh good. For a second I thought you disappeared.” Yuko chuckles.
“It’s not like I can teleport.” She mumbles.
“So your report?” Mariko-sama asks.
“Um well for starters, we’re definitely not the only ones here.” Yuko says.
“Yeah, there are a lot of men in black. We didn’t see any weapons on them though. They could be hidden.” Paruru adds.
“There’s also this large concrete building in the middle of the island. It looks like a prison, and we noticed a bunch of surveillance cameras around. It was hard enough trying to stay hidden from them, we just barely got by. What I don’t get though, is why have security cameras if hardly anyone is able to get here.” Yuko scratches her head.
“It must be a precaution. It’s the Link. It must be protected right? So it’s just in case.” Rena says.
I chuckle. “I feel like we’re the bad guys since we’re going to hack into it.” Everyone glares at me. “What?” They shake their heads. I was just saying… It’s not like I meant it. I already know. This is for the good of everyone.
I change the subject. “So what’s the plan now? I’m assuming we need to get in the building right?”
Mariko-sama nods. “Let’s see if Mayu can get a visual on the island now that we’re here. It’d help if we could get a layout of the building to figure out how we’ll go in.” She puts a finger on her earpiece. “Mayu.”
We all wait a moment.
Mariko-sama frowns. “I can’t reach her.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No One’s POVA certain Watanabe Mayu was currently having technical difficulties. Since they entered the triangle, she found that she was unable to contact them and vice versa.
“Tch. I should have foreseen this.” She scolds herself, typing away on the keyboard trying to somehow connect them. She wasn’t nearly as skilled as Rena, but she learned a few things from her.
Fortunately, she was able to see their movement locations on screen. She observes their positions noting their various obstacles. It’s nothing they can’t handle though. She doesn’t take it seriously as they’re all strong anyways.
At the moment, she was working on a new blueprint for a new communication device. She realizes that she should have come up with it sooner, seeing that normal communication wasn’t going to work. Without taking a break, she works as fast as she can.
“Ergh!” Frustrated, Mayu grabs her phone and dials a number.
“Hello?” A voice responds to her.
“Tomochin! Get up here!” Mayu demands before hanging up immediately so she can get back to work. She pauses her fingers at the keyboard, mentally scolding herself again. She picks up her phone and redials Tomochin.
“What is it now?” Tomochin answers.
“Bring Kitarie over here too.” She says urgently. “I’ll let you both in, just hurry up here.”
“Okay, what do you—”
“Now!” She yells. She puts a hand on her head. “Please.” Mayu says more softly.
“Got it.” Tomochin promptly hangs up on her.
Mayu leans back in her chair and massages her temples as she looks up at the computer screen. Everyone had separated into their units and were moving out. It annoyed her how she couldn’t do anything to help at the moment or advise them anything. They were the ones out there, not her. She thought of the possible damage she could do if she was there, and it calms her thinking about it.
Mayu presses a button hidden below her desk and stands up. One of the walls flip around to reveal several pieces of equipment and rows of empty shelves. What was there was not only devices of things she invented, but also the rumored weapons people talked about.
Some of them were missing. Of course, because she had given them to some of the students going on the mission. Not everyone knows, it was a secret. She thought it was a privilege for those few students to use her weapons. If they get into any trouble, it should help them out. Mayu smiles at the thought of them finally having a purpose besides collecting dust.
Walking along the wall, she spots what she’s looking for taking it off the wall. She observes it carefully making sure there wouldn’t be any problems with it.
She takes it back to her desk, and sits in her chair. She raises her right arm, simply removing it from her body.
“AAAHHH!”
Mayu looks up quickly seeing Tomochin and Kitarie jaws dropped, staring at her arm wide-eyed. She chuckles at their reaction. “It’s rude to stare you know.” She tells them as she replaces it with the new one she got off the wall. There was nothing wrong with her other one. It’s just that this one was special.
“So…” Kitarie trails off.
“What did you want us here for?” Tomochin hesitantly asks.
“Here.” Mayu prints out the blueprint she made and hands it to Tomochin.
“Make this exactly as it says. Everything you need to know is there. When you’re both done, I’ll handle the rest.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile in the triangle, the students realized they were on their own. It was always reassuring to have Mayu on ear along the way, but without her it seemed a little more impossible. They had started relying on her for being an invaluable source of information and advice. Also, they didn’t like the thought of having no connection to the outside world. They wondered if it would be possible to go back the way they came. For all they know, they could be stuck here forever.
The air turned gloomy.
Mariko scanned the faces of her comrades and devised a strategy to finish the mission as soon as possible. No one looked like they wanted to stay here long.
“Okay, everyone huddle up!” She commands everyone. They comply as there wasn’t much they could do. They have responsibilities to take care of.
They all wait for her instructions expectantly.
“Let’s make a bet.” She finally says.
They all look at her blankly.
“We’re going to split off into our units. We’ll take different routes and take care of any obstacles. Tiger unit will be the main source of distraction to get most of the men’s attention. Lure them away from the building. Everyone should have a special camouflage to hide from the cameras, but it won’t work if you attack or get attacked. Yeah I know, useless right? My suggestion is to use them to destroy the cameras before they notice you. You don’t have to, but do whatever works as long as it gets things done. Then, my unit will secure the buildings’ surroundings for wolf to enter and search for the Link. Yuko, Paruru, your unit has already done what you were mainly formed to do, but you two will be providing back-up if anyone needs it and also communication when we spread out.”
“So we stay here? But I want in on the action!” Yuko complains.
“Just until you’re needed. Keep Paruru safe while she establishes communication with everyone.”
“Fine.” Yuko grumbles.
“If you’re up for it, we’ll bet which unit will take out the most enemies. Winners receives 1 million yen. Losers receive punishment from Kasai. Get it?” She smiles wryly. Far away, Kasai shivers and looks around concerned.
Everyone sweat drops.
“If Paruru and I are here, we can’t do anything!” Yuko cries, angry.
“I thought you had more confidence than that?” Mariko raises an eyebrow. She wonders if Yuko will back down from the bet. Is the stakes too high?
Takamina toys with idea of having a million yen. It certainly seems possible for her unit to win it. And if Yuko’s unit loses, then it’ll be interesting to watch the punishment. She laughs. “Let’s do it!” She yells with energy, all fired up for it.
Sayaka agrees with her, high-fiving Takamina. They both think this’ll be a shoo-in.
Miichan laughs, “We’ll be the ones winning this. We’ll be facing most of them anyway as we distract them.” Beside her, Milky and Sae smirk.
At the moment, everyone is thinking of the reward rather than the consequence. Well, better to be positive right?
As everyone agrees to the bet, Yuko and Paruru are forced to agree too. Yuko swears they’ll beat Mariko’s unit though.
Mariko shrugs at her. At least they all have some incentive now. Of course, she does too. And she does not plan on losing.
~~~~~~~~~~
~Tiger~“Watch your step!” Miichan whispers loudly as her unit hurries through the undergrowth.
Sae pushes Miichan’s head down. “Well stay out of sight.” She scolds.
“Argh, who cares about those cameras? We’re going to be seen anyways! The more that come here, the better for us! 1 million yen, remember?”
“Oh!” Sae looks up with a smile growing on her face.
“This should be far enough. How do we get them here?” Milky asks.
“I got it.” Sae smiles and raises her hands to the sky.
“Put your hands down!” Miichan says, yanking Sae’s hands down. Sae frowns. “What??”
“Save that for when they’re here. Let me have this moment though.” Miichan smirks.
She transforms into a tyrannosaurus rex. Sae and Milky stand shocked in fear. They didn’t realize she could also transform into extinct animals let alone dinosaurs.
Miichan lets out a roar which reverberates through the entire island. It alerts everyone to their presence, and people soon start appearing around them. The other students listen in awe wondering what was that. It was a sound they’ve only heard in movies.
As they start to appear, Miichan uses her tail to sweep them off their feet. ‘Yeah!’ she thinks. ‘Down! Down! Down!’ she starts mentally counting as each of them fall. Sae takes that as a sign to stir up a storm, bringing down lightning on the men. As her lightning strikes one, its skin peels off revealing metal underneath.
“What the—!” She says.
“They’re not human?!” Milky says, keeping them back with a wall of water.
‘So that means I can do this!’ Miichan thinks as she scoops one into her mouth and crushes it with her powerful jaws.
The machines that were previously downed by Miichan before start to rise up, continuing where they left off.
“We need to turn them into scrap metal!” Milky says as she sharpens the water to impale them and shorten their circuits.
Sae carries several into the air and compacts the air around them, forcing them all to compress against each other. When she’s done, a large metal cube drops onto the ground.
“This way we won’t leave a mess.” She grins.
“Good idea!” Milky washes a bunch of the androids to Sae’s direction. They can’t even get close to them.
As Sae compacts them, she calls out to Milky. “Keep them coming! Miichan, how many have we gotten so far?”
Miichan transforms back to herself. She spits on the ground minding the taste of metal in her mouth. “Bleh, um about 45 so far.”
“That many? How much more are left?”
“Not much.” Milky causes one to explode by putting a massive amount of water pressure on it.
Miichan half transforms her hands into claws. She rips some in half. “This is easy. They’re not even putting much of a fight. What was the point in them being here?”
~~~~~~~~~~
~Panda~“Behind you!” Mariko calls to Jurina.
Jurina turns around to throw a fireball at the man in black, but before she could it’s already on the ground. Haruna appears behind where it stood, holding a metallic staff. She looks down on it. “I think I got it.”
Jurina and Mariko stare at Haruna not expecting her to defeat it.
“What is that?” Jurina points to Haruna’s staff.
“Eh? Mayu gave it to me.”
“How does it work? If it’s from Mayu, it can’t be normal.”
“Um… I don’t know. I don’t even know how to fight, it’s just that when I’m holding it, it all just comes to me. Then my arms start moving on their own.” She explains, shrugging.
“Interesting. Well we’re not done yet. Where there’s one, there’s more to come. We need to clear this area before wolf team arrives here.” They were currently in the buildings’ surroundings. Their current goal was to clear the area for an opening where Kawaei and the others would be able to enter.
Finding the entrance, they look around for any enemies. None so far.
“This is too easy.” Mariko says as she surveys the area. “Haruna, see if you can find anything.”
Haruna nods, and leaves their sight. She disappears into the surrounding woods.
“Marichan, why did you make that bet? What if we lose??” Jurina whines to her.
“You think I’m going to lose?”
“I didn’t mean it like that. It’s just that we’ve only gotten one so far…”
“Don’t worry about that. Let’s just see what happens.”
“KYAAAAA!”
“Haruna?!” Mariko and Jurina rush into the woods.
“Haruna!” Mariko calls, worried.
Jurina looks around wildly. “Haruna-san!”
Jurina starts burning everything as they can’t find her.
“Jurina, calm down! Think!” Mariko orders as the orange glow of the flames reflect off her face. “You might burn her!” She yells.
“I know! But I can’t just stop fire! It’s not that simple!” They both look around the mess they’ve gotten into. All plant life burning before them. Through the flames, a face appears before them. A metal man in a burned suit, the skin dripping down his face.
“Ew!” Jurina scrunches her face up.
“Don’t ew it! Kill it!” Mariko yells as she pushes Jurina in front of her.
“What?! You’re the senpai, you’re the stronger one! You do it!”
“I don’t think my illusions can kill it. It’s not even human, it won’t fall for them. Hurry up, it’s getting closer.”
“Hai hai.” Jurina turns her hands into fire and runs for the machine. “Ahhhhhhhhhhh!” She yells as she grabs its head trying to melt the metal. It lifts its arms, pinning her arms to her body. It holds her up as she struggles.
“Jurina!” Mariko clenches her teeth together, trying to figure out how to get out of this.
“Ergghhh! Let go of me!” Jurina yells as her body starts heating up. Her arms turn into flames, slowly melting the metal causing it to drop her. “Heh.” She smirks. “Not so tough without your arms huh?”
Its eyes gleam red, locking its sights on her. A red dot appears on Jurina’s shirt over her heart. She looks down. “What the?”
Mariko runs for Jurina to get her out of the way. If only her illusions could be physical, she’d be more help. She never thought this would happen. “Tch. I won’t make it!”
As the android’s eyes glow brighter, it sets to shoot her. Jurina realizes what’s happening too late as a laser beam shoots out of its eyes.
“No!” Mariko screams.
Jurina braces for impact, holding her hands up.
“Get out of the way!” A voice screams at her.
Jurina opens her closed eyes to see a force field in front of her. Haruna beside her keeping an eye on the android.
“Don’t stare at me! Move!” Haruna yells.
“O-oh yeah.” Jurina quickly runs to Mariko who grasps her in a hug. She sees Haruna.
“You’re okay?!”
“Of course! I can take care of myself.” Haruna frowns as she lets down the force field and dodges the incoming laser.
She approaches the machine, whipping around her staff and knocks its head off. She maneuvers her body and stabs it from behind before just plainly whacking it. “So annoying!”
She wipes sweat off her neck and looks around. “Why is the woods on fire?”
Mariko points to Jurina who double takes widening her eyes. “W-wait! I thought you were in trouble. Didn’t you scream?”
“Yeah, but I’m fine now. One of them got me from behind and several more came, but I took care of them.”
Mariko and Jurina don’t say anything. They underestimated her.
“How many?” Mariko asks.
“Eto…” She starts counting off with her fingers mumbling numbers.
“48? Oh wait, now 49.” She looks at the fallen android.
“See? I told you we didn’t have to worry.” Mariko gives a painful smile to Jurina.
They both immediately sulk, sitting on the ground. They couldn’t even handle one.
Haruna tilts her head in confusion. “Eh? Did I do something wrong?”
~~~~~~~~~~
~Hawk~ “Gah! This is shit!” Yuko screams as she paces back in forth. All of a sudden, she stops as she’s stepped on something.
“No, that is shit.” Paruru laughs.
“Ugh!” Yuko rubs it off in the grass. “I need to do something!”
“I’m not doing much either.”
“You can communicate with everyone! How are they all anyways??” She asks impatiently.
Paruru looks at the sky, as if searching for something. It’s quiet. Moments later, she looks down back at Yuko.
“It doesn’t look like anyone needs help at the moment.” She smiles wryly.
“Tch.” Yuko sits on a log, grumbling. “I bet they’re all racking up all the points. I want to kick some butt too. We’re gonna lose.” Yuko complains, becoming depressed.
As she sulks, something suddenly flies at her side knocking her off the log.
“Hey?! What’d you do that for?” She yells at Paruru.
“Huh? I didn’t do anything.” She puts her hands up.
Yuko ignores her, rubbing her side. “What was that? That hurt.” She looks around the ground finding a weird object. She picks it up. “Where did this come from?” She asks to herself. Paruru walks over and they both stare at it. Yuko turns it over in her hands observing it. It was a large crystal-like stone with a strange systems pattern embedded on it. It started to glow.
“Anyone there?”
“Woah!” Yuko drops the stone. Paruru picks it up.
“Um, Mayu? Is that you?” She questions.
“Thank Kamisama it worked.” Her voice came from the stone.
“What the heck? Mayu, you could have killed me!” Yuko yells into it.
“It’s not like a bullet.” Mayu chuckles.
“Is this new?” Paruru asks.
“Yeah, just made it. And I have my own so it will easier to communicate freely without any barriers.”
“Sugoi. How’d you get it to us??”
“I borrowed Yuko’s power.”
“WHAT?!” Yuko roars, grabbing the stone from Paruru. “Say that again?!”
“I’ll explain later. How’s it going over there?”
“I don’t know. We’ve been left out of everything here and Mariko came up with a stupid bet, but anyways, explain now! How can you borrow MY powers?? That’s impossible.”
Mayu sighs. “I took a sample of your DNA, which held some residue of your ability. I used it to structure a new arm for myself… The new gun I created in it shoots off a portal to anywhere I want, and I can send anything in it. This was the best I could do with it. It’s not perfect and I’m still working on some kinks, but I’m proud of it. It’s a really good arm. Easy to use. And you know, I used it to secretly get into Yuki’s room once. Heheh, don’t tell her.” Mayu laughs as she explains.
“Oh, no. I’m going to tell her.” Yuko threatens.
“And if you do, I won’t help you find Haruna anymore at the school.”
“Tch. I have my rights though! You can’t just borrow my power without asking!”
“But I did ask. You were taking a nap outside when I asked. You didn’t say no, so I went ahead and did it. Oh yeah, and thanks.”
“Wait until I get my hands on you.”
“Focus on your mission first. It’s not over yet.” Mayu reminds her.
“Yuko, she’s right. You need to get to Mariko-sama. She’s calling for you.”
Yuko groans. “So when I do get some action, I have to back-up for her? What does that stick need help for? *gasp!* NyanNyan should be with her! Oi! NyanNyan! I’m coming!” Yuko yells out as she disappears with the stone.
Paruru rolls her eyes. “I wonder if they’ve found it yet.”
~~~~~~~~~~
~Wolf~ “Clear!” Sayaka kicks the door down before scanning the area inside. She motions for the others to enter.
“You know you’re supposed to say ‘clear’ after you’ve checked inside right? Not before.” Takamina comments.
“I knew that.” Sayaka mutters. She and Takamina lead them through the halls, searching various rooms. They have yet to encounter anyone, the building is scarce.
“Where’s the people? They wouldn’t send everyone outside.” Rena says, suspicious of their surroundings.
“Yeah, it’s quiet. Too quiet.”
They check through the rest of the building, moving up five flights of stairs.
“Are they insane? Where’s the elevator in this place??”
“Bet they don’t have one to discourage people from getting to the top. My best guess, we’ll find it up there, and some friends too.” Sayaka says.
“Friends, yeah right.” They trudge tiredly up.
At the top floor, they find one elaborate looking steel door. Sayaka looks at it up and down.
“Get ready.” She says.
Sayaka presses her fingers into the metal, and pulls it apart allowing them entrance.
No windows are seen around the room. It’s completely empty except for a small computer located in the center.
Once all of them are inside the room, a new door shuts them inside while alarms blare, a red light flashing around the dimly lit room.
Rena rushes to the computer and gets to work.
Around her, five men shimmer into view. They weren’t there before, but before they could comprehend they were there, one of them slam Rena into the floor. Two others grab her, while one carries a chainsaw in its hand.
Sayaka raises the floor up quickly slamming all of them into the ceiling, including Rena.
“Sorry!” She calls to Rena as she tries to get up since they let go of her.
“No it’s okay, thanks.” She mutters brushing herself off, and checks for any damage. Maybe a twisted ankle, and a fractured bone here and there, but she’ll heal. Biting her lip, she limps to the computer and thanks Kamisama that her hands are all right. She continues where she had left off.
While Rena had been facing problems moments ago, Takamina and Kawaei had their own. More androids had appeared into the room, and just keep coming. Takamina does her best to keep them away from Kawaei while smashing them to pieces.
Kawaei tries to help by taking out what Mayu had given her. She didn’t have much physical talent, so Mayu gave her something simple. A magic 8 ball. It wasn’t an ordinary 8 ball as its fortunes actually come true, and it helps its teller.
‘Don’t fail me now.’ She mutters and shakes it as hard as she can. She glances at her answer.
‘You didn’t ask a question.’ It says.
Kawaei groans. “Um… um.. will you kill all the enemies in this room?” She tries, and shakes it once more. She looks down as an answer is given. She looks at it confused, as a picture of a squirrel appears on it.
“Eh? Ah!” She dodges as an android tries to grab her.
“Does this really work??” She asks. All of a sudden, Yuko appears in the room in front of her holding onto Mariko. They both look around confused.
“Where’d you take us?” Mariko says.
“Don’t look at me. I thought I teleported to you, but now we’re both here. Kawaei? Ah! Look out!” Yuko grabs Kawaei out of the way as an android lands on the floor all beaten up. Takamina runs up to them.
“Since you’re here, help us out!”
“Oh!” Yuko disappears giggling as she throws punches into the android’s face before they can get her with their lasers. She dodges them all easily, taking out a lot. More appear in their place.
“I’m not going to lose!” Mariko declares as she does the same as Yuko, beating them up into scrap. They go the old-fashioned way fighting with their hands. It’s a brawl.
“Hey Rena, anytime soon.” Sayaka says as she throws each androids one by one out of the building through a large hole. Since she can control metal, she simply starts picking them up and throwing them out. Although below her at the ground, Jurina and Haruna were running around panicking as androids were raining on them.
“Almost done! I just have to adjust the signal so Kawaei is able to control it.”
Kawaei stands nearby feeling nervous. A lot is happening around her so it’s hard to stay calm.
Takamina pats her on the back. “It’ll be all right.” She smiles.
Little did she or anyone know, that another problem is about to occur and also, a certain squirrel had just disappeared from the room headed for the other side of the world.
