Serika? Are you there, Serika?
*ding dong* *ding dong*
(opens door)
What's going on, Serika? Are you still not home yet?
This has never happened before...
Could it be...?
What about her phone?
It's been turned off for a few hours now...
Her boss said she clocked out and left like everything was normal. Did she never make it home?
Nothing like this has ever happened before. She always gets home safely...
You don't think...it was the Helmet Gang?
What? The Helmet Gang?!
Could be, but let's not jump to conclusions. Hoshino and Sensei are still investigating.
...
(opens door)
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Hoshino! Sensei!
"We're back."
Did you find out what happened?
Sensei was able to log in to the General Student Council's central communication network.
You were able to get into their network? Wow. Sensei's the real deal...
It's a secret, though. We're in big trouble if they catch us.
Wait! Does that mean you didn't ask for permission?!
"It's fine. It's for Serika's safety."
"It's okay as long as I don't get caught..."
This is the last known location of Serika's phone before it went dark.
That's one of the neighborhoods that's undergoing desertification, isn't it?
It's more like an abandoned wasteland. There's no one there to enforce public safety, so there are a lot of outlaws skulking about.
Right. We confirmed that the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang lived here while researching risk factors surrounding the school.
So it really was them!
They must have kidnapped Serika while she was on her way home and taken her to their hideout.
They must be bitter over our last battle. Maybe they took Serika hostage as a way to retaliate.
Probably! We have to go save her!
I agree.
There's no time to waste!
"Let's go!"
*clunk* *clunk*
*clunk* *clunk*
Is this the back of a truck?
The Helmet Gang... Where could they be taking me?
It's dark, but there is a little bit of light coming through the crack in the door.
Maybe I can see something outside...
Sand...and a railroad?
Does that mean we're in the desert on the outskirts of Abydos?
This is bad... There's nothing but wasteland out here and no way to get a signal! I won't be able to contact the others even if I do manage to escape.
What should I do? They must be worried sick about me.
...
Are they going to bury me somewhere in the desert so no one can find me?
The team might think I bailed on them and left like all the other students...
Will they think I betrayed them?
Is this how I'm going to die? Remembered as a traitor...?
No. I can't let that happen...
...
Ugh...
*sniffle*
*booooom*
Wh-What was that?!
*thump* *crash*
*cough* *cough*
What the heck? An explosion? The truck blew up?!
Where are these shells coming from?
I've located Serika!
A-Ayane?!
I have eyes on her! Repeat: visual on Serika! She's crying!
...?!
What?! Our little Serika is crying? Aw, she must have missed us. I had no idea she cared so much!
Ugh! You guys are so annoying! I wasn't crying!
False! I can confirm there were tears in your eyes just moments ago!
Don't cry, Serika! We're here now, and we promise to dry those tear-soaked cheeks of yours!
Damn it! Could you be any more grating?! I said I wasn't crying, so shut up already!
"I'm glad to see you're okay."
What? You're here too, Sensei?! How?
"I'm a stalker, remember?"
"Rescuing princesses is what heroes do, right?"
What are you talking about? You're such a perv!
Are you...
Are you brain dead or something?!
What did you just say? Are you stupid? Have a DEATHWISH?! Wh-Who are you calling a princess?!
Heh. Our damsel in distress has been rescued. She's gonna be fine.
Thank goodness. I was so worried about you, Serika.
Ayane...
It's too soon to let our guard down. We may have stopped the truck, but we're still in enemy territory.
You're right. Reinforcements are likely on the way now that the truck's been destroyed.
Multiple hostiles from the Kata-Kata Helmet Gang confirmed ahead!
I also see more than a handful of super heavy firearms! They're steadily forming a dragnet!
Me and my big mouth! Ugh. What do you say we push our way through these losers?
Be careful. Those goons have a modified heavy tank.
Yeah, we know. It's a refurbished Flak 41.
