Momoi

The last shutter is down. Now the only way to navigate the Student Council floor is with my fingerprint! Just a little bit farther until we reach the contraband storage and the Mirror...

Hare

Momoi! Hit the deck!

Momoi

Huh?

*kabooooom*

Momoi

Aaaah!

Wh-What WAS that?! That massive thing barely went over our heads! Look how big that hole in the wall is!

Midori

A 13.97 millimeter anti-materiel sniper round?! That was close. It would have hit you square in the head if you were just a couple of centimeters taller.

Momoi

Thank goodness we're so tiny, not! What's going on?!

Midori

Their sniper is already in position.

C&C's sniper: Karin.

Momoi

It's coming again! Midori, get down!

*bang*

Momoi

Ahhhhh!

Karin

Hm? Not bad.

Those pip-squeaks are hard to hit. They're as nimble as they are small.

However, their speed and movement are predictable. No wind and no obstacles in the line of fire. Even clinging to walls and avoiding windows won't save them now.

Sorry, girls, but there's no escape now...

???

You sure about that?

Karin

...?!

???

My calculations say otherwise. In fact, your chances of hitting are zero percent.

Karin

Who's there?

*pop* *pop* *tat*

Karin

Huh?

*brat-tat-tat-tat-tat*

Karin

Whoa! Th-The hell is that?!

???

I do believe introductions are in order.

Utaha

Feast your eyes upon the Engineering Department's latest and greatest invention, the bipedal all-terrain, combat-ready chair: Thundergun!

Karin

...But why? Who needs a walking chair?! And why does it have a catapult?!

Utaha

Your lack of imagination is depressing. I suppose I should have realized earlier that a dullard such as yourself wouldn't be able to appreciate Thundergun's charms.

Karin

You and that "chair" don't make sense, but the rest is coming together.

I'd been wondering how those kids from the Game Development Department managed to make it this far on their own.

Is it because of that Sensei of yours?

I bet Himari's intel was just a ruse as well.

In that case...

Thundergun

!!!

Utaha

Ahhh! Thundergun!

Karin

Pretty tough. My shot didn't come out the other side. Oh, well. Not much good it'll do you stuck on its back like a turtle.

I've got to admit, the idea of a walking chair with a gun strapped to it is pretty amusing.

However, if you really wanted to stop me, you should have attempted an ambush instead of trying to take me on with this stupid glorified wheelchair.

Your calculations were foolish, Utaha.

You were never going to beat me somewhere as open as this rooftop without cover.

Utaha

...

Without cover, huh? Yeah, that's true.

But you know what else a rooftop doesn't have? A ceiling.

*whirrr*

Karin

Wh-What's that sound?!

*kabooooom*

Karin

Gah! A mortar?! But from where?

Utaha

Our dearest Hibiki is firing off shells from the opposite side of Millennium Tower.

Reaching Hibiki means going through four walls and two ceilings. An impossible task, unless you also have a mortar hiding in that frilly maid costume.

Karin

You can't be serious!

Utaha

Haha. You doubted them...

...but my calculations are always right.

Momoi

It's quieted down out there.

Midori

That must be Utaha and Hibiki's doing! We should get moving while they have Karin pinned down!

*rumble*

Momoi

Eek! W-Was that an earthquake?

Midori

N-No, an explosion. You don't think...?!

Kotori

Ugh. My lecture's...not over yet!

Maki

I thought we were toast! Where the heck does she keep all those bombs, anyway?!

Akane

*sigh* Normally, I wouldn't condone destruction of school property.

My apologies for destroying the shutters, Yuuka. What's the Game Development Department's current location?

Yuuka

Karin had them suppressed until a moment ago, but they've slipped out of our vision since.

However, it's not hard to guess where they're headed.

Akane

It must be the contraband storage where the Mirror is being kept. Understood. I'll take the elevator and intercept.

*beep*

Akane

...?!

Y-Yuuka?

They cut the power?!

They'd really go to such lengths...?

Momoi

That blackout just now... Do you think it means Utaha and Hibiki succeeded?

Midori

Probably? It's so dark, though. Watch your step, Sensei.

Just through here should be...

Momoi

The Student Council's contraband storage! Haha. We did it!

???

Wow! You finally made it!

Momoi

Hmm?

Midori

Huh?!

???

What kept you?

Asuna

Howdy, Game Development Department! And... Uhhh, you were..."Zenzy"?

Oh, right! It's Sensei!

I've been waiting here the whole time!

Midori

A-Asuna? How'd you know we'd be here?!

Asuna

I dunno!

Call it a hunch! I had a feeling that if I waited here, I'd meet up with Sensei sooner or later. And you guys too!

Call it a woman's intuition.

Midori

Geez. You didn't even try to figure it out with reasoning.

Asuna

Anyway, shall we begin?

Midori

Huh? Begin what?

Asuna

Our fight of course, silly! There's nothing better than a good fight!

Oh, right. I should introduce myself first!

C&C's call sign Zero-One, Asuna, reporting for duty!

Ready or not, here I come!

Momoi

Oh, crap!
