You were minding your own business stretching yourself to wake you body up. Then someone knocked on your door. You open it to see Raye in her maid costume.

"My queen? Someone is looking for you."

"Who is it?"

"It's Yuu. She is currently at the door."

"I'll be there."

Raye bows and goes on her way. You go to Yuu who is already waiting at the door. Upon seeing her, she waves at you.

"Junko! I have something to say."

"Yes, what is it?"

"You see I was fiddling with my bag and-"

Then Marie opens the front door of the mansion. Seeing the both of you she says her greetings.

"Hi both of you! So I have been meaning to tell you about something, Can I borrow you for another fash-"

"NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT!"

"What? You would look cute with my clothes I bought today, right Yuu?"

"Huh? Oh! Uhmmmm, I don't know?"

"Oh well, I think I'll grab Mako when she gets here."

"Please don't bully the girl Marie."

"I can't promise anything."

Marie walk away from you with a skipping steps. Yuu resumes her conversation with you.

"So where am I? Oh right! S-"
Then Raye slides besides you.

"My Queen, breakfast is ready."

You shrieked in surprise hugging Yuu in her neck and carried you in a princess carry. Yuu with your sudden movement who is also surprised at your action. Good thing she catches you. You stuttered reply makes Raye bows in apology.

"I-I'll be there later."

"Sorry for the surprise, excuse me."

Raye goes back to the kitchen doing whatever she is doing.

"S-sorry about that Yuu. You can put me down now."

Yuu puts you down and compose yourself. Yuu again resumes her conversation.

"So I was fiddling with my bag and-"

Then Okada's Bodyguard appears at your side. Both of you step back from the sudden arrival of the shadow. He then bows and said...

"Okada wants you at his office after your business my queen. Now excuse me."

The shadow disappears and then Yuu frustratingly resumes her conversation.

"So I WAS fiddling with my bag AND-"

Then the doorbell rings. Yuu sighs and you look at her apologetically. Opening the door, it's Mako with her bag.

"H-hello, I decided to accept the position as a housekeeper."

"Good! You can speak with Okada for the moment about your house and lodging. I'll also need to clear a room which is clean since you passively suck corruption which is a bad thing about this mansion as a hodgepodge of corruptive energy."

"Hm? I like the atmosphere here though."

"Well because that what is corruption energy is like....very liberating."

"I see...."

"Anyway go to the second floor on the biggest door you can find. You can talk with your employer there."

Mako nods and bows and excuses herself. You go back to Yuu who is sulking right now.

"So what is it Yuu?"

"..........."

"Yuu?"

"Anyone in your business right now Junko? Seems its a bad time talking to you."

"No, to be honest this is the first time it happened to me."

"Alright, So I WAS fiddling WITH MY BAG and-"

Then Yuu phone rings. You raised your hand nothing to do it them and she begrudgingly huffs and mumbles about interruptions. Picking the phone up she answers with a grump.

"HELLO?"

"Hi! Yuu, this you mother. You see, were going to a vacation an-"

"ALRIGHTHAVEASAFETRIPBYE!"

She ended the call and turned off her phone. She looks at you smiling that no one will bother anyone.

"SO I WAS fiddling WITH MY BAG AND-"

Then your phone rings. She is now mad. Fishing your phone in your pocket you answer it with Kanna on the line.

"Senpai I-"

But Yuu snatches it and turned off your phone. Then she resumes what she is saying.

"SO I WAS FIDDLING WITH MY BAG AND I FOUND SOMETHING THAT I COULD USE THE BAG AGAIN!"

"......is that it?"

"Yes."

"Good. Can I go now?"

She stomps her feet in rage. There is a lot to do this day. Then you hear some squealing and someone shouting. You probably need to resuce Mako from the menace called Marie.

"Sorry Yuu, for some reason, this is the first time people called me for something."

"Sorry for overreacting too. I guess I was pissed off for no reason."

"I think I would be pissed if someone kept interrupting me. Breaks the mood you know."

"I hope you know what you are saying Junko."

You tilt your head in confusion while Yuu just shakes her head.

"Anyway, when I was inspecting the bag, I tried to look for something that I can use it again. Thinking about it, I pull out a coin, 2 cakes, a hot serving of curry and a handgun. And so if the idea of this bag is to get something, why not put it something too? And so I put the packet of curry back, a cake that I really want to eat but for the sake of experimentation, some coins of equal value fro what I got and I put back the handgun in the bag and viola! A shiny light exploded, well not really.....and I can get anything inside the bag....AGAIN! Although when I tried to put some coins less than what I got, it spits out like demanding to give something great or equal of value. I'm scared Junko....what if I pulled out a tank and I cannot pay it. It seems like this bag is something kinda like a loan shark."

"Really?"

"Un! So please whatever you request, make it something that I can pay back. It may be great in the start but thinking about it in the long run, it seems scary from the prospect that something may have gone wrong if I didn't pay the bag that was used for......"

>>3380897
"Yuu, I want you to calm down first alright? No one will request that absurdly, but first...."

"EEEEEEEP!!!! HELP MEEEEEEEE!" Mako shouts......

"We gonna rescue a fair maiden inside the house shall we?"

Yuu nods and you run inside where you see Mako already in her underwear. She runs with unbelievable speed while Marie just skips and hops at Mako like a playful child. You give chase and gives Marie the flying kick that Yuu probably watches. Marie who is distracted at the underwear cladded Mako failed to notice you until its too late. The kick connects on the back of her head skidding on a soft carpeted floor. Marie face is something that you call a perverted dreamy smile. Hefting the unconscious predator, Yuu rushes to her soothing her that everything is alright.

"Sorry about that Mako, need someone to pacify her, she regulates her urges by this and seems it's out of control. Did you already speak with Okada up?"

"Yes we have. He speaks about the terms and conditions here inside the mansion. And also the do's and don'ts. I think I failed the first don'ts already."

"What are you doing in Marie's room anyway?"

"Nothing, I was gonna clean your room first. Master Okada say that I have to skip Marie room or when she isn't there. I think I already know why."

"Well at least you are safe for now. Keep up the good work Mako."

She bows at you and you go to the room where you put Marie in bed dreamily groping something and murmurs your name. You shivered in fear. Thinking about it, Kanna called you earlier. Maybe you should go to her house.

"Junko?"

Picking up the phone, you open it and wait for the phone to start itself. Then you call Kanna.

"Hello! This is Kanna voicemail! Please call me later or give me a short message. Keep it brief though!"

"Kanna didn't pick up her phone. I don't want to say it but maybe something happened to her."

"Let's go then Junko!"

Calling Raye and Marie who is incapacitated from your kick earlier, you move to where Kanna house is. Looking at the outside seems to be normal. You then ring the doorbell. Nothing, fearing for the worst, all of you go grab the door but when you touch the doorknob, you yelp in pain not in heat but in extreme cold it burns. Yuu kick the door and and you see the interior of the house. The hallway is now an icy corridor and you go inside ignoring the sudden drop of temperature.

"Kanna? Kanna? Where are you? Girls! Search for Kanna"

You check the living room which is slightly messed up. Broken vase and some manners of different kinds of things are sparwl around the floor. Kanna seems to throw it on Natalya when she was assaulting on her home. Then you hear Yuu shouts at you.

"JUNKO! KANNA IS HERE!!"

You go to the bathroom where you see her encase in an ice on the tub.

"Junko! We need to thaw this first and quick!"

Well depending on what happens here we might want to pay a "friendly" visit to Sachiko's mother. We can possibly get some answers and work off some stress. Either Sachiko won't care or it might unnerve her when what's left of her mom comes crashing through her warehouse door.

Apologizing to no one, you kick down the wall which made a hole in a wall. Yuu got what you are planning and starts to make a hole big enough to fit the tub outside the home.

"Raye.....go out and ready your firestorm. We need to thaw the ice."

Raye quickly go out from the hole of the wall you destroyed and you move where you summon all of your strength to drag the tub out of the house. Yuu helps you on the other end to make it faster. You drop it where it has ample space where you can do the spell safely and then shout at Raye.

"NOW!!"

Raye immediately released the spell. You cast your own firestorm to help thaw the ice faster. After a minute, you call Raye to stop. You see the tub is singed black and the ice is now a puddle of water. You see Kanna floating on a still cold water.

"Yuu, go back inside and look for towel. We gonna transport her to the hospital."

Checking on her, she does't have any breathing. But her pulse is very weak. You don't know what to do.

"Junko, here it is!"

"Yuu call ambulance quick! And while at it, go get some new clothes and blankets and more towels. Raye, heat that tub with your firestorm and make warm water. GO NOW!"

Immediately they go on their respective places and start whatever you're requesting. You call Okada for Marie to wake up and go to Kanna's house. Then you lie Kanna on the towel you put down on a soft grass outside the sun. Chins up and body straight, you discard the wet clothes of Kanna first. You fish out your phone frantically dialling the Doctors number. Good thing she picks up immediately.

"Doctor, it's an emergency. My friend got encased in a block of ice but we manage to thaw it. Now she is shivering from the intense cold and we need some first aid if you have one."

"Give me the address and I'll send the ambulance. But I won't ask why would she be inside of a block of ice but you need to find something warm. She would have an severe pneumonia from the intense cold. Same from your friend happened last time she was here. Dry her first. I recommend to dry her trunks area first or she will experience shock. Also don't dunk her on the warm water of she will experience heart arrhythmia. Instead look for water bottles and put warm water on it. Wrap it on a cloth and softly apply it on her skin. Alright? If she has weak pulse or she doesn't breathe start CPR.
C
"My queen, the tub is now heated!"

"Go get some bottle, anything will do!"

Looking for Kanna's body who is now start to shiver from the intense cold. You then carry her on the tub. She starts to gasp for more breaths.

"Kanna, wake up. Wake up please."

Yuu returns with clothes and many towels.

"Yuu, help Raye look for any plastic bottles and fill it with warm water. Then wrap it with the towels you got and softly apply it on her skin."

You go to where Kanna is and wrap her body with towels. You start doing CRP but you don't know how. Then you hear ambulance sirens near and you go outside to see where you flag them where you are right now. They immediately go down the vehicle and tell the paramedics about what happened to Kanna minus the encased in a block of ice. They nod and gave her fist aid. After 5 agonizing minutes, Kanna starts breathing albeit labored. The paramedics signal it that she is ready to be transported to the hospital. You watch them hastily carry the stretcher to the ambulance and you make Yuu come with them......in case of emergency. The ambulance then runs to the nearest hospital to help Kanna.

"Let's visit someone Raye. I think she will appreciate our appearance right now."

You giggled darkly. Deep inside, you are raging. She has an audacity to hurt a junior like Kanna. You are going to personally wring her neck the next time you see her. You walk to where Sachiko house is located.

"Okada, Sachiko hit Kanna and she knows about our moms. They are probably in danger, bring everyone to Okada's mansion where we can watch them."

"Understood. I'll send my shadowshades to inform them."

After a little while they came back with a report.

"Got some magical bugs. We blocked it for the moment. We can't really remove them or they would be alarmed. For now we are safe."

"Thanks."

Going to the doorbell, you press the button and wait. Then someone came out.

"Oh! Are you the attorney that will take care of my newbly bought house? Mrs. Yumegawa said that she will send some attorney to settle the payment. But aren't you too young to be one?"

"I see, thanks for answering ma'am."

"No problem children."

The three of you bow and walk a little bit ways from the house where Sachiko lives.

"What does this mean?"

"I think Sachiko did something to her mother." Marie suggests....

"Then she is sick to the core."

Your phone vibrates on you pocket and you pick it.

"Okada?"

"We can't find both mothers in the airport. My queen, it's possible that they have boarded the plane."

"Cancel the flight!"

"I can't I'm doing the best as I can to not make them fly. I tried to lock down the international airport but we need some clearance from the government to do so."

The three of you also don a disguise to not stick out but considering how fast are you running, you will pick up a lot of attention. But who cares when your mother is probably in danger. Dialling your phone to call your mother, it picks up after several rings."

"The number you have dialled is either unattended or out of coverage area. Please try your call later."

Shoot. She probably turned off her phone. Possibly she is now boarding the plane. You run faster hoping that you can catch up.

>*Airport*

Flight Number 124 Yokot Airways is now ready for boarding. All passengers please proceed to the boarding area to verify your tickets. All passengers......

Several passenger stands up and goes to where a tall russian girl with white hair is waiting at the boarding door receiving passengers at the flight. She look at the names and the seats they are having and give some instructions where to sit. The she saw the names of their target. Both of them are speaking happily. Something about too easy. She smiled at the two female passengers and guide them to their seats. After all passengers are boarded she walks away and gets her walkie talkie.

"Target is inside. I also primed something inside. This will be a beautiful accident."

"Good. Let's proceed to the next objective. We need to take out that spear user out of the picture."

"Understood."

She discards the uniform that she wore and disappear like a middle of a blizzard.

......................

Arriving at the airport where several people are going in and out from departure and arrival, you go to where some of Okada's shadowspectres are located.

"Did you found something."

The shadowspectre shakes her head.

"Where is Marie and Raye."

It points you to where they are. You walk briskly where you can see Marie and Raye already arguing on a security officer.

"But sir this is important, we need to meet her."

"Ma'am, the plane is now on the runway. We cannot cancel the flight because of your selfish request. Now please go out or we will haul you out."

Damn it you are too late. Going to where the girls are, there is a muffled explosion. The ground shakes and you hear shouts. Fearing for the worst, you go to the glass and see the plane going down to the sea where it barely takes off and crashes. You can only stare at the plane and shed a single tear in your eyes.

"M-mother......"

See you tomorrow and thanks for reading.

>>3381482
>going down to the sea where it barely takes off and crashes.
Ironically that’s the most survivable type. Depending on how the plane came apart. Not as high of a risk of being trapped in the burning fuselage. Natalya should have waited for the plane to hit cruising altitude. There would have been nothing left of the plane. Hope mom squad packed those swimsuits but I’m the resident pessimist.

curious if this was a save Kanna or save Mom type thing.

>>3381087
I keep on falling asleep at sane hours of the night..


>>3381391
Manipulate memories, turn formerly normal person (or pilot) into secret terrorist.

So to sum things up:
We accidentally did the same thing to Kanna that was done to us and started this whole quest.
Our parents might be dead, and if they aren't then we're gonna get ambushed when we run out to rescue them. This depends on if Nat and Sachiko weren't stupid enough to not be watching remotely instead of being the highly visible sole light when or resulting corruption bloom blankets everything nearby for miles.


If we don't immediately start a rescue effort (and go viral when magic suddenly shows up since even if the powers might be invisible, us shapeshifting and the interaction of everything with the magic is. Eg Raye flying. Us holding people up on invisible shields or cutting open the fuselage with an invisible claymore, or 50 foot leaps. ) then Junko is about to go full queen of darkness on the city.
Somehow I doubt Sachiko thought through how good an idea Junko having no fucks left to give is when she's a shadow of wrath.

I'm personally for us actually sitting down and making our army after the rescue. If creating/converting shadows out of people uses our supply, then we leech some more from Mako's bottomless well. Just pounce on her with an unending horde.

>>3381608
>Manipulate memories

Natalya was there and probably planted a bomb on one of the engines.
>muffled explosion....going down to the sea where it barely takes off and crashes
She probably blew one of the engines causing the plane to have insufficient thrust to reach a safe take off speed. The plane would wind up gliding, then hitting the water belly side down and depending on speed skid (planes are buoyant, kind of have to be to fly) to a stop or start to fragment. If the plane stays mostly together it's one of the safest ways to crash a plane. See the miracle on the Hudson incident. If you don't have the speed to kill everyone on impact, what kill in plane crashes is the resulting fire and smoke inhalation from burning jet fuel. Natalya took that part out of the equation by making a spark much harder once the fuel tanks lose integrity(would start leaking from around the wings/where the engines where, the part covered in water) She could have done more damage parking a truck on the runway.

>>3381635
Kanna still has a chance. She is in bad shape but we got her in time.

Yeah kind of hard to have a masquerade when the ballroom is on fire. So I'm also down for a desperate rescue attempt. Junko would do it even if it is just to retrieve the bodies for shadow-ication. As much as I dislike Mom squad, it's still the in character thing to do. . Plus you left out with no pulse Junko might not have to breathe anymore, so she could dive if necessary. Okada happens to keep the chopper there from my understanding and we have a good number of shadows that could shapeshift into rescue personnel and commandeer a boat. Sachiko seems to be going after Arc next so we have the breathing room. Honestly, it seems like she is counting on turning Junko and Yuu into mindless shadows to hunt and that isn't going to work so hot.

So a rough idea would be
>Call Okada to send two shadows to the helicopter and the rest off as first responders to commandeer a boat Ask where the mom's seats were on the plane.
>Get the girls in the air especially Marie for her vision abilities. Scan for the plane and moms. If the plane is together she is on overwatch.
>Junko and Raye go to or dive around the fuselage and cut the moms out. Raye flies them back to the helicopter. Get the moms to the hospital or back to the mansion depending on degree of injury.
>We were a civilian plane so we don't have room for everyone. The shadows take the next most injured.
>Use Dr. Nagi's help to fake mom squads death if necessary or go back to the mansion and shadow time, if things went badly.

>>3381646
>Natalya was there and probably planted a bomb on one of the engines.
That was when I first woke up, started catching up, and saw 44 unread replies in the thread. Kind of amazing that she fucked up so hard. If we didn't see them gloating about their supposed spectacular plane crash I'd think the whole thing is a trap for a secondary and larger bomb. I'm assuming that the idiots are trying to cover their tracks instead of doing the smart thing and just leaving the city/area to set up shop elsewhere. Or that implies that they "can't leave because they have something in the city they need/use or look for? Or the city itself is special? Since they can't assume that we'd know what they were planning, Maybe this plane crash was a distraction to prevent us from interfering when they take down Arc? They got shanked/blindsided once and they don't want it to happen again. If so then they probably wont attack us during the rescue since Arc is going to notice everyone in the crazy yandere meido cafe watching viral videos showing that magical girls really exist. It's just a super bad matchup for them too even if we get tired since the passengers will be leaking corruption as a battery for us.

>Kanna still has a chance. She is in bad shape but we got her in time.
Yeah, bad wording on my part to imply she's already dead. The implications of accidentally leaving Kanna to die are still gonna do a number on Junko when things calm down enough for it to click.
>>3381646
>So a rough idea would be

I was personally thinking that
>Marie gets to a control (or generally high) tower to be lookout since MGs don't have trouble just jumping up that high. She also doubles as a lookout for survivors or shark/etc related dangers.

>Raye makes a land bridge (mayb even a dock/harbour?) and we shuffle people out via ice boats/bergs if her control is that good and there aren't rafts onboard.

I was considering making land rise up from under the plane, but bodies might be scattered around and get smashed by the rising earth if they were thrown out of the plan. I also don't know the general oceanic topography they have as it could vary between extremes like miles of shallow water and an instant several mile cliff.Accidentally slicing people up with coral doesn't seem like my idea of a good plan either.
>If Yuu can summon any healing magic in whatever state she's in, she starts using it on survivors just enough to keep them alive. She should have some experience at it even if it's only healing whatever partner she used to get paired up with to hide her MG activities from her mom.
>Am I right about us theoretically being able to move the shields? We start spamming shields to lift people/debris out of the way.
>I'm assuming that a bunch of people are scared. We can actually sense that and use it to locate the living.
>Transport people to the emergency services that arrived and roll out.

There's probably other stuff but I think that would be a different voting round.

>>3381482
well, now that weird magical group will come in big numbers, because what a BIG coincidence that the most corrupted city has a plane crash after one of their agent's location was compromised.

>>3381635
well, Natalya was stupid enough to be recorded in multiple cameras and seen by multiple people. Sashiko might be able to erase memories, but she can't do that to records and video. specially after all of this gets uploaded to youtube, facebook, twitter, and backed up by conspiracy nuts(which basically is happening ins this very moment). I mean, she could have done that thee years ago to three isolated targets, but not now with what basically is an international incident.The people in this city might be corrupt and ignorant idiots, but the rest of the world isn't.

>>3381646
>So a rough idea would be[...]
The best thing we can do right now is to protect the rescue ships from natalya and sashiko because it seems like they are desperate and stupid enough to assault the plane on open light. Us going in there will only complicate things because we don't know the proper way to rescue people.

>>3381683
>Maybe this plane crash was a distraction to prevent us from interfering when they take down Arc?
Arc will come to investigate the crash, its the most logical option from the organization and her. Also, i don't think that the two of them will be able to down her. Remember that she can also teleport in a short range.
Honestly, i don't know the purpose of this attack or how they managed to know that the moms were flying out. it was the most guarded secret we had. It won't stop us at all, it will only make us madder and now the eyes of the world and whatever other magical organizations are here.This is just plain villian stupidity.

>Sachiko seems to be going after Arc next so we
She wouldn't even know where to start. Going for kanna should be the most logical option, but she wanted to leave a message instead, and now she effectively lost her track.

>>3381747
>*????*

"So did the two has a chance to survive?"

"Who knows, but I put the thing under the seat before I personally led them to their seat of death......or demise."

"I can't believe that you have to act like some kind of sales lady to lure them out."

"It was easy. But stalking them was the hard part. I'm just lucky to see them going home. It's only a matter of time stalking them when they gone out and do some shopping. In fact I have to thank lady fortune. But maybe not, I didn't put my signature tracker on them but I can smell them. They have a unique smell you know? Then again I should have put my tracker on them just to make sure."

"Well that is because they have been exposed to our energies. Also they will notice if you put one. Better to make them think it's safe but it's too late for them aren't they? But I won't ask about it. It would buy us some time to ready everything. Hopefully that ice bitch shadow won't show up the third time."

"Wrecked up my warehouse huh....it's not like I own it anyway."

"Look forward, here she comes."

"Showtime then......"

Wait why did I link someone...oh well whatever.

>>3381498
>Spoilers
Maybe they have a different view of a "beautiful accident"

Well, since we don't have any moral chains left(other than Yuu, and yuu isn't on her best right now), I say that we fulfill the prophesy and crash this party with no survivors.

>We contact arc through Yuu and ask/beg her to help us.
>When she tells us "no"(because that's how the characters work here) we raid all the prisons and yakuzas hideouts we can and convert everyone into a shadow.
>Then we lead a manhunt in the city. No pity, no mercy. they go down this very day.
>Then we disappear and make our lives in some other secluded place.

>>3381837
>bomb under the seat.
here is hoping mom squad was being their usually unruly selves.

>>3381905
Contacting arc through Yuu is a good idea if we knew how.

>>3381912
we know where she lives. Its just a matter of waiting for her to return to sleep and then we knock on her front door.

If arc answers and agrees to help us, she will unknowingly save the city from being turned into sodom and gomorrah

>.And then they switched seats with somebody on the plane. (do people still do that?)
>well, Natalya was stupid enough to be recorded in multiple cameras and seen by multiple people.
I must have missed that unless our firefight with her had more people awake and able to see/record what happened than I initially thought. (0)

>>3381905
Either that or Yuu gets all the attention since she's the last chain left. Would be nice if Marie was the one to try to stop it this time for some variety and slight redemption. Yuu also got half a year's worth of corruption sucked out of her earlier so she's gonna be a bit slower to actually turn shadow than she was in previous cases even if it's still going to hit her hard.

I'm thinking this is the moment the city gets shrouded in darkness and the villains realize just how hard they fucked up if my "nightlight theory" kicks in.(if the whole place is covered in darkness then the location of any nearby light gets extremely obvious. It should be about the time that the Yakuza are coming back in since they were just trying to lay low

>>3381920
We know where her training warehouse and storage area is. We just assumed it's where she lives. Waiting for her there would give time for Sachiko to ambush her at whatever part time job she ends up with.

>>3381944
>And then they switched seats with somebody on the plane. (do people still do that?)
If the seats weren't marked(which is the only option), they can do so.
>I must have missed that unless our firefight with her had more people awake and able to see/record what happened than I initially thought.
Not there, but she showed her face in an international airport. Those places are one of the most secure and watched facilities in the world in order to avoid what happened right now. Right now there are people scrambling to look at cameras, recordings and such. And they will find one incredibly easy to recognize platinum blonde foreigner that happened to work as an attendant for less than a day. Given how facial recognition works right now, this can create an international incident with russia.

>*meanwhile at the hospital....*

"Is she going to be okay doctor?"

"Yes, not to worry. Her body temperature is going to be normal in a couple of hours and she would need rest for at least 3 days week at most. Her body would be numb at first but as long as we maintain room temperature, she would be alright."

"Thank you for saving my friend Doc."

"Don't mention it. I'm glad that girl did her best to do first aid and called me. Anyway I mu-"

Then the door opens up. The nurse who is out of breath speaks....

"Doctor, we need you.....to standby..... accident at airport......plane crash....may need more staff."

"Alright, let's go....

"Wait what do you mean plane crash?"

"Sorry girl, but we need to attend on upcoming patient, please wait here and stay with your friend and call me if anything happens."

"B-but my mother is probably there!"

"Give me the name and we'll see if she is one of them."

Yuu gives her the complete name and they both go out the room. Yuu slowly walks on Kanna side and grip her hand.

"Mother......I'm sorry......please be safe."

Yuu buries her face on the sheets as her muffled sniffs and cries echoes the white sterile room where Kanna sleeps and still recovering.

>>3381944
>Waiting for her there would give time for Sachiko to ambush her at whatever part time job she ends up with.
we literally have no other way to find her other than create some chaos and hope she will answer.

>>3381962
The massive corruption spike blotting out the sun should do nicely.

>>3381960
Wait a second,, Aren't Kanna's parents trying to go on vacation too? They might be on the plan as well.

>>3381965
>The massive corruption spike blotting out the sun should do nicely.
It might work, but its also a beacon for natalya and sahiko.

>Aren't Kanna's parents trying to go on vacation too?
their plans got postponed by two weeks.

>>3381965
Oh yeah they were. Sachiko really is trying to still turn everyone into shadows.

>>3381975
>their plans got postponed by two weeks.

Oh yeah that's right, but what happened to Kanna's brother and family. Hopefully they were out during the attack.

>>3382004
Oh. they are turbofucked.

>>3382004
>Parents
Probably in work
>Brother
I wonder..... maybe Kanna can answer that.

>>3382027
>I wonder.
That's probably not a good sign.

Planning on running around normal time?

>>3381957
>If the seats weren't marked(which is the only option), they can do so.
Geeze. Airlines actually crack down on that now? You used to be able to pick whatever seat you felt like if the plane wasn't too packed or the other person was ok with switching. (been a while since I was on a plane that wasn't packed)

>>3382076
Well, you can change places if the other person agrees, but usually the plane tickets are always numbered to avoid issues with overcrowding and in theory makes it easier and faster to load up all the passengers.
Only the really cheap ones don't do so.

>>3382074
4 hours from now I'll run

>>3382724

You watch the accident on a glass window of the airport. The officials are also looking at the accident. Then he face both Marie and Raye.

"Did you say your mother is in the airplane?"

They didn't answer.

"This is very suspicious, you must know what is happening on that plane."

He reaches his radio and ask for more security about two suspicious individual but Marie knocked her out and both of them run to the nearest bathroom. You're still standing on the window you mouth agape and cannot fathom the happening in front of you.

She really did it. That bitch. Junko, I know what you are feeling right now but you need to calm down and exit the building......peacefully. We don't want you to accidentally release you powers in this public place. Alright? Please listen to me.

And like in autopilot. You turn around and walk solemnly, your phone vibrates but you ignored it. Eventually, Marie and Raye regrouped on you with Marie acting as a scout in case Natalya or Sachiko is around and Raye sticking close to you. You walk and walk and walk and walk. Marie then call you out.

"Junko? We have been walking for an hour now? Are you alright?"

Then something snaps....

"Alright? Heh....hehehe.....Am I alright? Say Marie? What if I should kill you right here and now. Can I say "Are you alright?" in your state?"

"J-Junko, please you're not yourself."

"I'm already not myself since I am resurrected Marie, look at me."

Already half of your body is now consumed by darkness. Half of your hair are like tentacles lashing in the air trying to grab something.

Damn it I can't control it. If I had an essence....no it's still no use. This is too powerful.

"Raye, can we do something to Junko?"

Raye shakes her head. But then an idea strikes her.

"Why not call Yuu? She may calm Junko down."

"RIGHT! You're a genius Raye."

Picking up the phone, you dial Yuu's number.......

........................

You are Yuu Mitsukoshi, you have been guarding Kanna along with the two newly arrived shadowspectre probably from Junko. Then your phone vibrates. Seeing the caller was Marie, you rush out of the hospital to pick up the call leaving the guarding to the shadow which both of them nodded.

"Hello Marie?"

"Junko is in trouble, can you calm her down?"

"What is happening?"

"Something happened and please.....before something bad is happening."

"A-alright....I'll be there. Where are you now?"

Marie gives you the address of where they are now and you rushed to were your best friend is. Upon arriving to the place, you see a massive concentration of corruption.You try to move closer but it's no use. This is very heavy.

"Yuu, please help Junko....."

>Junko is now in super saiyan mode........well not really but you know the gist. What does Yuu do in this situation?

>Call her out just like she did to you?
>Ask Marie/Raye about the situation. Maybe they can help you think how to approach Junko.
>Maybe your bag can help
>Write-in

>>3382765
Sachiko made a major mistake here. Junko's wrath isn't the hot blooded unthinking sort of wrath she's hoping for to make her an easy target. It's the cold hearted type where she just silently keeps on bashing their head in with a rock.
Eg Junko x Rock-chan
If she just released her corruption everywhere would that actually put her in better shape right now since it wouldn't all be inside her body?

>Call Junko out
>Junko, Stop! I don't want to lose you too!
I'm kind of at a loss on our responses right now. I hope that was decent enough?

>>3382804
It's alright, I can make responses too. I mean what kind of friend who saved her not do the same?

>>3382765
>Maybe your bag can help
>Write-in:
>"Junko, if you wouldn't let me become a shadow, you must keep control of yourself now. No matter what happens I'm hear for you and so are Mari and Rei. Right, girls?"
>Hug Junko
>"Do you need me to repeat all the embarrassing stuff I said at the docks--how much I need you. How I want to be with you forever. How I love you. The Junko I love would never give up hope, not now, not ever, no matter how bad it gets. Even if I lose everything it would still be okay if I have you and you have me forever."
>Kiss the normal half of Junko's forehead.
>"I think I can guess what happened. I heard at the hospital. Junko I'm alone now and I need you. Mari and Rei need you. Kanna especially needs you. Junko, I need you back. Please don't give up. I love you and you would never let me do the same."

I’m not sure I trust the bag like that.if I were to use the bag, I would try to negotiate with it instead and give a payment for the item wanted ahead of time since it can apparently speak. That’s assuming we aren’t going into darker territory and feeding Sackiko or Natalya to the bag as payment for a light core.

Fuck yes.

>>3382908
I was planning on using the real estate lawyer, the payment between them, and the sick parents to feed sachiko's mother to it or turn the mom into a shadow/bomb if that didn't work out. Still need hope essences for things and I have an experiment in mind.

keks

>>3382921
the thing is that we don't have a real equivalent to a hope core. Unless we feed it with magical girls, we won't get one in return.

>>3382929
a life is worth a life, considering what we might use it on and we could find plenty of shitheads if this turns out to be something like a FMA philosopher's stone and we need lots of lives

>>3382950
problem is that a hope core isn't the equivalent to a life. I'd say the core is worth more. Maybe we could feed it lots of corruption instead? After all the hope cores are created from a big shadow

>>3382928

You start to inch closer and closer to Junko, the wind starts to pick up around her.

"Junko! Please listen to me!"

The black aura around Junko slowly envelopes her whole body. The sudden pressure of pure corruption makes your body starts to push you out.

"Junko! Please stop. I don't want to lose you too....."

"Y̷uu̢,͘ t̸he̕y ̕stole e͢v̛e͠rythi͟ng̴ f͡r̕o̴m̕ ͢m̴e....́.TH̀E̶Y STO͢L̕E EVERY̨TH͠I̵N͘G̢!"

"Me too......they stole something from me too. Please, don't let them steal you too. If you wouldn't let me become a shadow, you must keep control of yourself now."

"T̶̴̵͠H̢̧̨É̷̴̕͝N̴͟ ̷͠C̷O̶̕͞M̧͜͡Ȩ̵̵̀ ̸́͞W͟͝Į́T̵̴͟H̵́́͜ ̢͝͝M̵̵͜E̢̛͢͜͢ ̛́͘Y̡̕͡ƯƯ̢͢,̷͜͟͝ ́͡L̴̀́E̸̡̢T̵̶̴̛'͜͡S̶̡͘ ̸̷̛̛̀P̴̸̴͞͞L̴͠U̶͜͟N͢Ģ̴̵̢͘E̢̨̢ ̵̀̀T̀͢H̸͘͡I̛̕̕S͞͝ ̨́͜W̶̧͘͞Ḩ̶̷̢Ơ̵͘͠L̶̷̢É̸̵͘ ̶̛C̡̢̛I͞͡T̵̶̷Y̡͘͢͜ ̛͜I̶͡͞Ń̢͞͡T̵́̕͜Ơ͜ ̛͘D̸̢̢͡Á̸̶̧̨Ŕ́K̷͡N̸͢E̷͞S̸̢̀S̷̴͢͠"

"Junko please remember what you said to me. Do you need me to repeat all the embarrassing stuff I said at the docks--how much I need you. How I want to be with you forever. How I love you. The Junko I love would never give up hope, not now, not ever, no matter how bad it gets. Even if I lose everything it would still be okay if I have you and you have me forever. No matter what happens I'm hear for you and so are Mari and Rei. Right, girls?"

"My queen, please hold on. We're calling Mako to help you out!"
"Junko please be strong for us. Don't be angry at the world, instead direct it to Sachiko. The one who did this!"

Then Junko in her fit of rage, shout. A dark pillar of light is seen high above the sky.

"JUNKO!!"

Friendship is really magical (No not that one you are thinking right now.

Writing.....

>>3383069

As you inch closer, the wind blows up again that makes you skid backward. But Marie and Raye step in front of you.

"Let us handle this. We are already corrupted anyway." Marie says....

"Yuu, our queen shining light is you. Let's save her together."

"Thank girls. Let's go.....and save Junko."

And so the three of you walk. Raye cast Corruptive shield on Marie and hers making their movement a lot easier at it flows like water onto them. You hide behind the two people until Raye and Marie are just only a hand reach.

"Damn it!! We can't come closer."

"Keep it up Raye! We can do it."

"Is....is this only far we can go?"

"What do you mean?"

Mako stands beside you like nothing is happening.

"Wow.....talk about ruining the mood." Marie snarks.

"So what should I do?"

"Well, we need to get close to Junko."

"Oh her? Wait a moment."

Mako comes closer to Junko and touched her shoulder. Then she carried her having difficulties as she is carrying her upright like some kind of statue. Then she pass it onto Yuu.

"Here. Give her a lots of hugs alright? Now I still need to weed out the backyard."

Then Mako walks away and rides the car that Okada probably brought. Marie and Raye just shrugs.

"Junko....please wake up."

.....................................

Junko, this isn't a time to mope.

>"......why bother anyway."

Are you really that shallow? To give up that easily? Come on! Look, your friend are still waiting for you. I may don't have one right now so you could say that consider yourself lucky. Please......go back to them.

You look at the light, Yuu, Marie and Raye are shaking you awake."

>"Wait, I am standing earlier right?"

Oh....uhm....things got awkward and Mako just hauled you like a sack and prop you onto Yuu's lap.

>"............."

Are you going back now?

>"........yes."

Good, because we have a revenge to do.

The aura settles down around your body and you slowly wake up. You see Yuu in tears. Marie and Raye sit themselves exhausted. You look at Yuu and wipe her tears away.

"Come on, you're ugly when you cry you know."

"Shut up! You still doing stupid things you know."

"Guess we are both stupid then."

Both of you hug at each other. Then a cough from Marie

"As much as I want to reaffirm you friendship, we have a girl to hunt."

"Right....."

You stand up and the four of you are ready to move.

"Let's go to the hospital. Kanna is probably in danger there."

The three of them agree with you and go to the hospital. Arriving at the entrance where a sudden influx of people who are unconscious and has different kinds of injury from fractures, blunt wounds and different kinds of body cuts bleeding from the severity of impact of the plane.

"Girls, go to Kanna's room, I have to call Okada."

They immediately move in where they go to Kanna, you fish out your phone and call.

"Okada?"

"My queen? Thank god you're safe. I was worried when I detected your energy level too high. I sent Mako to stabilize you. She did a wonderful job then."

"Y-yeah. So......what happened to the mothers?"

"Sorry my queen, I'm not the one who gave the tickets to their vacation. It seems that someone might have given them. I didn't expect this to happen as I can only express my apologies and beg for you mercy to spare me."

"We'll get on that. So.......did you find them?"

"We're still searching. I will update you when we rescued everyone. Currently half of the passengers are now rescued. It will be a matter of time to all of them to be found."

"Please Okada......please find them.....in whatever state they have been."

"I will try my queen. That is what I can say. I can't make promises."

You sigh, at least he is willing to try. But that is not enough....

"Don't try, do it! Call me if you found them."

You ended the call and go inside. You asked where Kanna room is and the nurse gave you the room number. Going to where Kanna recovers you see the girls already at the bedside. Kanna is still asleep. The Shadowshades are now guarding the windows for any unsavory people hanging around. Then Yuu speaks....

"Junko, she's still has a fever. The doctor says that she will start to recover after three days or at week the most. I don't know if we can wait for Kanna to recover but Sachiko is out there doing whatever her next move is. We can't afford to make her run away from what is happening right now."

"I got you Yuu, but we need to plan. We don't want to get her caught out on her plans.....whatever they may be."

(1/2)

>>3383339

The room is silent.

"Maybe.....being a queen of shadows right now isn't a bad idea at all."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Marie then stands up.

"Junko, do you even know what you are saying?"

"Yes, I do Marie."

"Wait Marie, what does she mean?" Yuu inquires.

"My uncle.......have a vision. That one day, the city will be covered in darkness. All of us will be corrupted and stand beside her as an army who will wage war. It could be for Sachiko, it could be the world. But one thing is for sure. The whole country will be blanketed from the intense darkness and no one will stop her."

And then Raye adds.

"And all of the shadow will grovel and bow on their feet as the queen returns to guide us all. And we awaits her commands."

Both of them kneel on one knee and bowed at you. You stand up. The shadowspectre who is also watching the windows also bows at you. Yuu watch in fear as you face her with determination in your face.

"Yuu, will you go with me......one last time?"

"Of course....do I need to say it again?" She smirks.

"Then......"

We know where Arc's warehouse is, so we could probably have somebody/thing sent to keep tabs on her so that we can react to her being ambushed now that I think of it?

>>3383408
We could have some shadows stake it out, but that’s were she trains not where she lives. it might just be the time but didn’t Arc say the clothes we ruined weren’t hers? What the heck was the objective we meddled in?

>>3383412
Probably just some fashionable Japanese outfits or cosplay. Her boss might be a Ouiaboux. I'm not sure why Arc couldn't just purify the clothes though?

>>3383412
I'm confused but, It seems like yuuki hit on Natalya's warehouse, but at the same time we struck Arc's warehouse

"Let's try to figure out what happened to our mom's. For better or worse."

"Yeah....let's."

"Girls, stand up. The two of you will guard Kanna."

"Yes my queen." Both Marie and Raye replies.

"Yuu, let's go."

And so you go where the place where the scene of accident happened.

...............

Arriving at the bay area is hard as different media outlets are covering the happenings. Various gawkers and bystanders watch in attention on what could be a rare happening in their eyes. The boat ferries some who are safely rescued and some are carried via stretchers. Most of them covered their faces as the coldness of the sea where the plane crash can be seen not far away from where you are standing. It could be more or less 3-5 km away from where you stand.

"Let's go Junko."

"Can you shapeshift Yuu?"

"No."

Then you shapeshift yourself as a paramedic similar to the ones who are receiving patients and moving them on a mobile tent where they are resting from the shock of the accident. You then grab Yuu and drop down the building. Pushing to the crowd as you refuse the media with their interviews about the updates of what is happening, you eventually arrive at the dock where you see several people inside the tent. Both of you go to the tent first and look for your mother as well as Yuu.

...................

>*?????*

*ghack*

Arc flown out from the pillar breaking it as you where pushed by an icy bat. You were ambushed by these two witches. Seems your starting being rusty.

"Well, this was easy."

"Shut it. We need to finish her before more of her come."

You cough blood out. You stare at them menacingly.

"Kill me or many will come to haul your ass. Especially you Natalya." *hurk*

Your wetched a little bit as your stomack was kicked.

"Well she speaks the truth. How about we ice her and drop her in the middle of the river. No one will notice about her for a week before they send a new one."

"Nice idea. We won't be staying that much anyway."

Sachiko and Natalya face Arc who is trying to do something.

Goodbye sister......

She was immediately frozen by a block of ice. Natalya starts to push the block and down into the river.

"Won't that ice melt in the river?"

"Melt? Don't underestimate the russian ice. Because russian ice will ice you first."

"..........."

"Fine, I forgot you don't appreciate puns."

Both of them walks away moving to their next plan.

(1/2)

>>3383477

.................

You have searched everywhere and double checked. You asked the shadowspectre rescuers about your mother and they shake their heads. It's impossible. The only thing they would be gone is either they we're blown into nothingness or disintegrated. You rendezvous with Yuu as she also shakes her head.

"J-Junko, please tell me you find them."

You shake their head.

"S-should we go to the morgue?"

"The shadows says that there was no death and all were accounted for.....except the two passengers."

"Please.....don't tell me."

You hang your head trying to stifle your tears. Yuu starts to cry and hugs you. You do the same. You hope that whenever they are......they are happy.

It makes my head hurt. Anime logic completely disintegrates when thrown into any semi realistic scenario. At least we'll find her. eventually. Specially because the rivers end up at the sea.

>>3383499
I know. It makes my head hurt too. But it could be easy to write because it's bullshit. And anime bullshit happens. I mean Magical Girls already are breaking the laws of physics. What can a normal block of ice which would float in the water would even do when the girl say that it will definitely sink.

Natalya would.

>>3383510
I'm running on the logic that they are kids and aren't really thinking about this stuff. They have shit tons of magical power but no common sense of the mundane world and little finesse with the magic beyond brute force. Sachiko even uses her mind magic as if it were a hammer. Think Kayanth El-Melloi Archibald out of Fate Zero with the added negative of youth but hey your the QM.

>>3383510
well, one thing is to have anime physics, which is expected in every superhuman quest, and the other is to have anime logic.
Anime logic breaks hard the suspension of disbelief, for example with Mako. Her life is so shitty, so dark and so "worse than yours", that it becomes a joke and you can't take it seriously. Worst of all is that since the players are used to "normal" logic and your characters are usually tied to it, you expect that all the other characters have to abide to the same rules, but that's not true.

If you want to see one quest that does anime logic well, check mecha space pirate quest. Many if not all of the characters there are anime archetypes and have their actions based on anime logic, but said logic is tested against the "real world"they live on, with expected (and sometimes unexpected) consequences.
Its a heavy-ish read, but not only is really fun, but the examples to what i said appear rather quick

Writing

For Sachiko I'm reminded of someone's green text on /tg/ about a campaign villain: A high charisma, High wisdom, but low intelligence drow matriarch. It seems like she had schemes within in schemes but was actually just going with the flow and was flying by the seat of her pants over the entire campaign. She was just able to really exploit the actions of others around her to get her way. I think Sachiko is like this. Someone put her up to her current course of action and explained how easy it is for magical girls to fall to despair. Otherwise she has been winging it.

Natalya on the other hand probably has a clean up crew when she is used as a government asset. She is the hammer. Granted personally I would put more stock in some schmuck with a container full of radioactive isotopes and the keys to your apartment but you can't solve every problem with polonium.

>>3383531
I can imagine the cleanup crew.
they are basically soldiers that are tasked to break all the ice cubes she makes and throws down the nearest body of water. Basically natalya freezes them and the crew kills them for good.

>>3383541
Nyet comrade, why throw away the magical ice when you can use it to chill the bottle of vodka or kvass. See smart. The bits of western spy just make it better.

>>3383525

"Let's go to the crash site. We could find them there. I'll find some clothes for you so you can pass as a rescuer."

"All right."

Calling a Shadowspectre, it gave you another set of clothes that Yuu can wear. She purified the clothes first before she wear them. Then you go to a separate boat where a shadow is driving into where the crash site is.

"Are you sure that is everyone?"

The shadow nods. But you will try. You eventually arrive at the crash site where half of the plane is already slowly sinking. Yuu immediately dives down to look for them and you do the same.

>*10 minutes passed*

"Yuu did you find them?"

"No, but we'll keep searching."

>*30 minutes passed*

"Yuu try below deck, I haven't search there."

"Got it!"

>*45 minutes passed*

You are starting to be exhausted but you will search every nook and cranny. Then Yuu resurface.

"I found something. Help me!"

You both dive and into the deep where a door was opened. Probably Yuu did it. And so both of you go in. Then you see something. A hand. You look at Yuu which she nod. You try to push whatever that was blocking. And Yuu pulls the hand that was sticking out. Then Yuu pulls it all out to see......

....................

Marie and Raye are reading something courtesy from the shadowspectre to fetch some books for them to have some time to kill when Kanna starts to stir. Marie noticed about Kanna murmurs.

"W-wa......water. Please....."

"Quick! Give us water now!"

The shadowspectre nods and runs out of the room.

"Kanna, please wait we're getting water for you to drink."

Touching her head. It burns. Both physically and literally. You can't really gauge how hot her fever is without burning your skin. You call the doctor through the speaker and they will send as soon as they are available. Then the shadow returns with a pitcher of water. You give Yuu a glass of water for her to drink. Then she starts to speak.

"M-my brother.....is in danger......please......save.....him."

Then she sleeps again.

...............................

You haul yourself out of the water. What you got was a life size mannequin. You and Yuu are both dejected on a false hope that you expected.

"They're....really gone huh."

"I.....I don't know."

"I....didn't even properly said goodbye to my mother."

"I haven't called my mother Yuu....."

"Junko....."

"Yuu......"

"Yes?"

"I'm all alone now."

Your eyes moisten as you stop yourself to cry. But your feelings can't stop it. And you cry. You cry a lot. Yuu hugs you and she starts to cry too. The cries of both of you can probably be heard on the docks. But you don't care. Your only mother. The one that raised you and take care of you.....gone.

"Motheeeeeeeeer..........."

"Shhhh! There there Junko, I know it's hard but I'm still here okay? As long as I'm here, you're not alone. Alright?"

You pour your hearts out as you cry away your grief and sorrow.

Junko....sorry to interrupt but, remember when I said to let the corruption leave itself? If you scan maybe you will find something.

You break your hug with Yuu as you dry your own tears. You shakily stand up almost stumbling. Yuu catches you and helps you to stand up. With one last ping.......

"Wait what?"

"Hm? Did something happened Junko?"

"They.....aren't here."

"What do you mean?"

"They're......."

>>3383584
Never change, Mom squad.

Thanks for running QM.

>>3383591
I hope that somebody simply forgot to file paperwork about them changing to a later flight. That's still two dead people that the moms are gonna be horrified at the deaths of if it wasn't a paperwork mixup.
I wonder what us crawling about for that hour looked like to mundane people. People generally can't see magical stuff unless they're looking hard but some distraught girl weeping and listlessly walking the streets after a plane crash is sure to attract attention. Even if they don't directly see something then maybe just a general aura?

Arc's bosses can also hear her remotely without the use of a phone independently of Arc's will. Those idiots just confessed on tape. I hope Arc has some sort of emergency teleport. If she's supposed to be one of the top agents in even a small organization she has to have something up her sleeve to survive. It's only fair when the villains escaped and are back to normal after having a bowling ball sized chunk ripped out of their torso barely a few days ago.

>>3383983
>I hope Arc has some sort of emergency teleport.
probably she has. remember that she can also teleport, just like yuuki.

>Those idiots just confessed on tape.
this and the plane crash will definitely make the organization bring more agents by the end of the day.

>>3383983
They strait up left and missed their flight somehow. Depending on how we can get the moms in the traffic jam (helicopter with a couple of shadowspectere's with a cell phone with Junko on the line. as we are on a boat a ways away) it might be a good idea to let Sachiko and Natalya think they actually killed the moms.

>aura
It might let us finally approach Yuuki. She was looking for someone but didn't seem to want to see Sakura. Could it have been the dark queen?

>>3383983
>>3384013
I think we might be able to pick up Arc if she doesn't port out of the ice. Remember we are currently sitting in a boat out at sea. If I interpreted the map correctly we are not far away from the dock district where the two warehouses are. Rivers move regardless of bullshit magical physics (a sunk item will move across the bottom unless it is ponderously heavy, and then it moves slowly) so Arc's ice cube should be moving our way. We should try to scout out where Natalya and Sachiko (if they haven't moved bases) are by their hope energy and we would find Arc by extension. Considering the shape she is in we might be able to strike up an agreement.

As long as Natalya and Sachiko didn't block the transmission somehow, yeah they are both really screwed. Natalya left behind the ice on the battlefield at the outskirts of town, Kanna's house full of ice, and she bombed the plane. If we get rid of any witness that saw Junko at the airport we can have Okada spin that a terrorist attacked his airline and have Natalya as the prime suspect. We might be able to guilt trip the official that was blocking Okada from stopping the flight into committing honorable suicide and have a shadowspectere take his place. (Having a government suit that could shut down the roads or air travel in our manhunt could be handy) Considering Yuu's Mom mentioned she could easily get a job at an oversees consulate Yuu's Father might be a diplomat. A Russian terrorist/operative tries kill a Japanese diplomats wife by bombing a commercial plane. Yeah, that's going to make headlines and is going to be really hard to run from.

Sachiko needs money to move. I think she might be using the real estate transaction to finance her movements. We could have Okada try to track her that way. No amount of mind wiping gets rid of the paper trail money leaves behind. That's not considering what the organization is going to do if they heard that conversation. I doubt they will be able to run far.

The one thing I wonder is who's sister is Arc. I was running under the assumption she might be Tomoko but Arc recognized Natalya. It's not clear which girl was speaking when the goodbye sister thing came up.

>>3384103
>She was looking for someone but didn't seem to want to see Sakura.
she was looking for....sashiko, i think. After all, she's the one that killed her. The problem is that we need to talk to her alone without Raye or Yuu, because she can connect the dots and try to kill us just because we might know where sakura is.

>They strait up left and missed their flight somehow.
They somehow managed to break all the rules in an airplane, rent a car and leave without anybody batting an eye.
>it might be a good idea to let Sachiko and Natalya think they actually killed the moms.
Definitely. It might even work in our favor even more if we let them think that we are unstable because of that.

>they are both really screwed.
They had no way to know that Arc was bugged. Otherwse they would have stopped the transmission when we rescued Yuu. Actually, even if they scrambled this transmission, the other fight got recorded as well, yet the organization seems to not care. why is everyone so incompetent?!?

>who's sister is Arc.
I'm betting on natalya. Sashiko is too unstable to leave any loose ends and arc would have acted on her when she got an idea of what she did 3 years ago.

https://general.arantius.com/sinking-ice-cubes

Sugary ice powers seems like the sort of thing a magical girl might end up with by accident.
Natayla has yet to realize the disadvantage her ice cubes present is that she actually cryogenically freezes her victims AND magical girls are more durable. Her victims can survive for hours on end if sheer luck goes their way
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Hilliard
She just needs to get fished up before it's too late.
My bet is/was that the sister is the person on the line
>>3384133
Even if she's bugged, she doesn't have a person listening in all the time. HQ has been getting nervous lately as more and more info comes out so increased surveillance is likely. Finding out shadows panty raided her warehouse probably got them monitoring her closer in the short term like how her being hospitalized and running into Junko meant she was being heavily monitored by the time we ran into her a second time.
>>3384133

The thing to keep in mind just how powerful Arc is. If their best agent refers at least partially to strength then she's not supposed to actually find anything or anyone that can stick around and take her on in a fight. Assuming that we were an average group; she is/was fully capable of fighting us head on when the "standard" for taking on decently evolved corruption is an entire highly specialized group. It speaks volumes about whatever the hell Sachiko has been able to leech away for the past few years from unsuspecting victims and Natayla's prowess at murder that they were actually able to win even in an ambush situation. If Arc had told them she needed backup then the place would have ended up absolutely swarming because of how dangerous the idea of Arc actually needing backup is.

>>3384219
>she doesn't have a person listening in all the time.
Not having someone listening doesn't mean she's not being recorded. Anybody of her rank, with a handler that apparently hates her (given how trigger happy they were to dock her pay.) would go the extra mile to record all of her movements.

>The thing to keep in mind just how powerful Arc is.
Arc was literally taken by surprise. You can be the most powerful being around, but if they manage to get you unaware, the fight is over before you can retaliate. I mean, the girls aren't bullet proof, a decent assassin with a standard sniper rifle can kill all the girls with no problem, so i don't find it unfeasible that the two girls can bring down Arc, specially because she's not at her 100% right now.

>>3380696
Very good intro but the last sentence feels a little bit convoluted.

>>3384257
>Not having someone listening doesn't mean she's not being recorded.
well...yeah? I wasn't implying otherwise? The only issue atm is if she was being listened to on a live feed by an actual person who can respond with some healing magic and good thawing out.
The important part is that Arc was probably actually speaking to somebody that she knew was watching/listening while they talked about their villainous plans.

I'm really not sure how durable magical girls actually are. That 911 operator probably thought we were exaggerating about Kanna being frozen in a block of ice or is an absolute champion for adjusting to the fact that magical ice wounds are now a thing. I think they have at least SOME durability to match the low level super strength or else the fights they get in on a regular basis would be fatal by accident or they'd die from misjudging the distance to a rooftop.

>>3384451
>I'm really not sure how durable magical girls actually are.
I don't think that "durable" is the right word. they have a crazy regeneration, but seems like other than some mild super resistance to damage, they can easily bleed and be hurt.

>*?????*

The sizzling ice starts to melt itself and explodes from the outside. You crawled up from the freezing interior of the block. Sitting yourself on a floating block of ice, you see that you're at the sea with the city on sight.

"Better start paddling huh..."

You summon your spear and dip the tip on the sea water. Like a throttle, you start to twist it as the wind below starts to propel you to the city.

"I'm gonna get a new phone too....damn it."

Arc sails back to the city thinking those two girls who are acting crazy. Like they want to bring chaos in the city. Does this means that they want to bring a lot of noise. For what?

"Sister my ass, you are the one I'm gonna get my answer from you fucking bitch."

You spit your disgust as you're getting closer to the city and try to be inconspicuous as much as possible. Most of them are probably planning to have a field trip here. You are here to prevent that. Moving and weaving throughout the docks and into the city, you arrive at your apartment free from anything snooping inside. Fishing another phone case, you dial the number.

"HQ?"

"We heard everything."

"Then you know what to do HQ."

"As much as I want to send more, this is personal for you.....right?"

".....sorry."

"Don't be. You're trying to erase what your father's mistake are. New mission Arc, exterminate the class A rougue witch in the area. Go wild and no mercy."

"I intend not to......she made me this in the first place."

A creeping sensation slowly crawling in your body like a leech. Your expression turn from a pokerface to a manic smile that screams death. The white aura turns into black as you transform into a new one.

"I'll personally deliver death to then....and she will never come back."

you know, it takes surprisingly very little to turn a magical girl into a shadow(and arc is gonna be madder because she destroyed all of her clothing for nothing).

Calling the Shadowspectre who mans the boat, you order it to get to the dock as fast as possible. As you are nearing the docks you grab Yuu and jump to the docks and rush to where you felt the familiar sensation.

"Junko what is happening?"

Not saying a word, jumping to the rooftop to rooftop until you spot a certain vehicle where you stop in the middle of the road. The car stop abruptly and the driver spit curses at you. But you ignored them and you open the door to reveal a shock faces of your mothers. Then Yuu's mother face turns into a scowl.

"Yuu, what is the meaning of this. And why are you in the middle of the road? Do you know there are cars around?"

"M-mother?"

"Hmph.....your crying doesn't buy me anymore. You kept doing that when you were young you young lady. I'm gonna need some expl- oooof"

Yuu tackled her mom which knocks the wind out of her. She cried at her lap saying never letting go again and some apologies. You on the other hand watch your mother while your mother watch you in confusion.

"What is it Junko? Something on my face?"

But you cant hold your feelings. You run to her and also cry on her lap. Your mother hugs you soothingly.

"Shhhh!!! There there, scary monsters will go away if you stop crying right? Do you remember that."

"M....Mom *sniffs* I'm not a little girl you know."

"Oh but you will always be my baby girl. Forever. Now now don't worry. Everything will be alright?"

With the two of you cry in your mothers arms. Several cars are now blowing their car horns honking at the taxi.

"HEY DIPSHIT GET A MOVE ON!"

The same sort of applies to shadows. I thought they were generally invulnerable to anything other than being purified by magical girls or killed/siphoned off by us due to the regeneration, but a basic propane tank is capable of taking out that septic tank shadow.
I guess healing factor combined with magical defense buffs might be a better way to describe it?

If Sachiko and Natayla actually booked it then we may have found the hiding place they were planning to go when they skipped town since they weren't planning on our parents actually leaving. We can have some shadows scout out and/or search the rooms after making sure there aren't any other magical girl collaborators in the area.

But arc is a "professional". She's someone that (ideally) has been trained to be above the standard and is backed up by an organization that should(though it doesn't seem like) want to avoid having their assets turned into shadows. It shouldn't be this simple. Hell, converting Marie and Raye was harder than this.

>Not in the mood for this shit AND they were being rude. Summon claymore and slice their engines in half
We're better than that.

>>3385350
>We're better than that.
No we aren't

I think you missed the implication with Arc. She was ALREADY half shadow or a different blend than we are. Arc is the previous time Sachiko tried this crap.

>>3385367
>She was ALREADY half shadow or a different blend than we are.
What, mind elaborating on that? Because unless the corruption we accidentally fed her when we found her unconscious slowly ate her away, she's, well was, "pure"(unless she was the girl that was missing from the newspaper?).

Not only does it imply she was already like that, it shows that HQ shouldn't and/or isn't actually surprised at this transformation since this is about when they're most definitely going to be keeping tabs on her.
The big question now is just how much of the sachiko identity is even real since she might actually be some sort of semi-immortal witch using fake names by now.

Arc is something like Junko if Sakura wasn’t holding back the tide of hope energy. The blazing sun of hope energy was just covering up this side of her. It’s why she was taking a little bit of corruption as serious business. Arc is probably very vulnerable to it. She could be part the experiment four years ago but wouldn’t make sense for her handler to talk about her in the third person.

I doubt that. They have the same "father" after all. It might not be a biological one, but in order to call someone father you usually need to be raised by them from a young age.
>"I intend not to......she made me this in the first place."
>Not only does it imply she was already like that...
I understood it that the "she made me this" part was the Ice cube and whatever she had to do to return to land. I mean, she seemed surprised by her transformation into a shadow, meaning that she had no idea that she was far too gone until she saw the external effects of being a shadow.

>>3385434
>Arc is something like Junko if Sakura wasn’t holding back the tide of hope energy.
Hmm, that's an interesting point of view. It still has some plot holes(like you will fucking die if there is more hope than corruption), but it kind of works.

>die if there is more hope than corruption

Arc's handlers know about the transformation it's not a surprise

As for dying from hope. We don't know if that would be the case. It might hurt like hell but there was another option close to death. The shadows assumed would just kill Junko but Okada doesn't really know what's going on with Junko other than his queen prophecy. It would kill Sakura probably. In a meta sense we had the option to refuse Sakura's offer in thread four. I'm assuming if we told her to fuck off we would have become something like Arc is here eventually.

>>3385469
The theory is a bit out there, but the timeline is getting ridiculously cramped with hyper competent scheming (that we've recently shown is not actually sachiko's forte) depending on how the timeline is going.
Sakura didn't recognize Arc which means she MIGHT have been from an even earlier experiment by Sachiko. With the fact that we shouldn't age (established by Sakura) coming into play, the timeline easily gets extended back even further if Arc is a previous/alternate version of us.
Sakura might have been the version in between which could explain why her former teammate is so hostile. She ended up succumbing more to shadow instincts or taking longer to become lucid than we did.

My current bead on the timeline is
Scientist (Sachiko's dad?) does the experimentsand produces Arc. (Russian involvement?) Maybe also does something to Sachiko before it all collapses?
Sachiko then hunts down and finds a MG group to experiment on and kill and does this all semi competently despite her age.
??????
Our team becomes the next wave of victims.

>>3385520
>Arc which means she MIGHT have been from an even earlier experiment by Sachiko.
That makes sense: Arc is the oldest MG we know...she's in her 20's i think? But they might literally be sisters, which makes everything weirder.

"Mom, where do you want to go?"

"Huh? Well we were going to the airport but it was blocked so we were going back to the house."

"Then....driver, go to this building."

The driver nods and you both ride on the taxi albeit it's a tight fit. You elect to go to the front seat when someone is throwing a water bottle at you. It missed but it flown right next to your cheeks.

"GET A MOVE ON YOU FUCKERS!! YOU ARE BLOCKING THE TRA-"

Suddenly the hood of his car was cut in four ways. You rode the front seat and you urge the driver to go pointing directions to where you want to drop off. After twist and turns, you arrive at a familiar hotel that Okada once offered to you. You drop off and go to the building. The receptionist asking you if you have reservation but you show Okada's credit card which they give you a key card immediately and welcomed you stay. Outside you see Yuu's mother is mad again. Going to the pair, you can hear their conversation.

"I can't believe my bag was stolen." Mrs. Mitsukoshi huffs.

"I told you to bring your purse on you but you didn't listen to me!" Mrs. Kurosaki adds.

"I'm not a purse person, I'm a more bag person. Purse is so gaudy anyway."

"Mitsukoshi-san please, your attitude. You are showing that in front of your daughter."

"Well our daughter isn't normal anymore. What's my attitude will change that."

"Everything. You are embarrasing me Mom....."

And so everyone around you look at your group. Mrs. Mitsukoshi blush embarrased at her whining dispaly.

"How about we go to the hotel. I already have the room. Let's go."

You lead them to the elevator and you see a card slot. You put it in there and the elevator closes where it goes up. After a few seconds it open to see....

"Wait....the whole floor is our room?"

Yuu goes out to see if it is really true. The mothers are similarly astonished. You're also surprise from the room the receptionist gave you.
You all settle first and after a few minutes, you call your mother and sit on one of those expensive leather sofas.

"Mother, we thought that you we're on that plane. The one you was going to board crashed."

"Wait what? So the reason we can't get to the airport is because of a plane accident?"

"Yes."

"Now for some reason, I'm glad my purse was stolen from me. And maybe to Kurosaki-san who insist she want a sexy bikini."

Mrs. Mitsukoshi glare a liitle bit to your mother which she can only blush.

"Now Mitsukoshi-san, not in front of our daughter."

"Anyway mother. You are not safe here. They thought that you are already down in that airplane so we will hide you for the moment. You can have your vacation as much as you want as soon as we finish our business. We may also need you to babysit 3 girls on you as they are also in danger."

(1/2)

>>3385540
"Uhuh.....so we are like you nannys now huh." Mrs. Mitsukoshi said.

"Please, our daughters are doing the best as they can....whatever they may be.."

Bless you mother for not asking too many questions. You say your excuses while Yuu talks to them. You pick up your phone and called someone.

"Okada?"

"My queen? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah. Mothers are safe."

"I'm glad my queen. What will be your command?"

"Get us another safehouse close to the school of Mako younger sisters are. We are moving them along with my mother and Yuu's. And a car to drive them safely."

"Alright my queen. Please wait for a while. I'll send my shadowspectre on the floor if everything is ready. And i'll send a van for the transportation so we can pick up the children. I may send Mako to convince her little sisters of hers to come with them and move."

"You do that. Also....thanks Okada."

"I'm not worthy of your praise my queen. But thanks."

You drop your call and...

There's a bunch of trails that are easy to follow from the hotel and plane tickets.

She might actually be a really effective magical girl now that I stopped to consider her abilities. If you combined purification with her being a vortex that sucks nearby corruption up she just has to purify everything 24/7 and she'd never need to even fight any shadows within her territory because she cleaned everything up.

You go back to where Yuu and two mothers are talking.

"And so Kurosaki-san is going to buy a bikini. A BIKINI!! Do you have any shame at all Kurosaki-san?"

"Like I said, I have every confidence with my body despite my age."

"You old hag don't you glare me like that."

"I'm not though, or are you that jealous....."

She seductively wiggled her hips and push her chest at Yuu's mother.

"Mom please calm down." Yuu tries to calm down the angry mother. You just shake your head from the comedic display they are doing.

"Sorry to interrupt but do know anything about the trip that you "won?"

"Hmmmm, it was something like a southern islands and a.....gulag?"

"Yeah the island name was gulag."

Huh? Gulag? You're confident with your geography but this is the first time you hear about gulag. Seems the ticket is fake.

"Anyway I'm glad that you are safe mom."

You go and hug your mother again. She hugs you too while humming a tune that you are familiar to.

"Your mother will not go away my dear."

After a little while, the sunset is setting down and slowly the night is starting. You leave your mother for a minute while you talk with Yuu privately.

"Yuu, this is just the beginning. We don't know where is Sachiko or what she is planning."

"I know. But we don't know where to begin."

"I have a few ideas."

>We wait for 3 days for Kanna to recover.

Idea. This is a bizarrely high amount of semi public attempts on the lives of people related to Okada. He can probably make the police forces do the searching for us via political leverage at the idea that somebody is targeting the lives of anyone remotely close to a pillar of the city and we swoop in when they get flushed out.

"True, we can work to take her down. And also that russian girl."

"But first we have to make our mother go safety first."

Both of you go back to where the mother who are enjoying the food that was delivered. And yes wine included.

"Mother not that I would spoil your dinner but please for our sanity sake. Don't drunk yourselves again."

"Of course not. We are just drinking to celebrate from that near death accident right Mitsukoshi-san?"

"Of course of course. Now do you kids have something to do right? Go on. We are adults. We can look out ourselves. Also I think I won't gonna go out considering how lascivious all the things around here. I want to make this last as long as possible."

"What she said."

"Anyway. Do you know what is inside your purse Mrs. Mitsukoshi-san?"

"Oh? Well nothing really. It's just my spare underwears, some clothes. and my travel documents along with Kurosaki-san."

"I see....well enjoy yourselves then. And do get too drunk."

Both of them raise their newly opened champagne and drinks it.....in bottle.

"Mothers..." You muttered.

.................

You and Yuu goes to the hospital where you see Kanna asleep. Marie stands up and meets you.

"Her fever is still there but she isn't in the worst condition like the last time. Although after her fever, she would be weak to move on. I don't know how though."

They way I see it. That is because she is low in hope energy. Maybe she is worried about her brother.

>"Then we need to save her brother. But we don't have means of way to track her brother."

Not to worry, isn't that Yuu job to do mundane things?

>"We'll ask her later then."

"Anyway, we may look for potential allies at the moment. Especially that one who you teased about that underwear."

"Her? Well I would like to meet her. Her fashion sense are so last year."

"WE ARE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT FASHION OKAY?"

"Can we wake Kanna up?"

"I don't know. But we can try."

You approach Yuu for the moment and go near Kanna.

"Yuu, Kanna is low on her energy. Can you spare some to her?"

"Sure I can."

Yuu extends her hand and into Kanna's body. The light particles goes inside Kanna but you swear there is something black that was mixed in but you didn't mind it at the moment. Then you see Kanna stir.

"Yuu, stop...."

Yuu stops and Kanna wakes up her eyes slowly opening.

"S-senpai?"

"Kanna! Good thing you are safe now."

"S-senpai.....Natalya-san.....attack my home."

"I know, I know. Can you tell us what happened?"

"I was.....going to take a bath when....my brother let Natalya in......and then she come in.....the bathroom.....half my body was......iced. Then she said that......my brother........he will keep it.......send to her country.......please senpai......save brother.......please."

"I will Kanna, but we need to track him first. Do you have anything that we can help him track you brother?"

Kanna nods and then fishes something in under the blanket. She gives you a picture of her family.

"Give it to Yuu and cast track."

You give the picture to Yuu and she cast track. Then Yuu face flushed embarrased.

"What's the matter?"

"Uhm.....I think Kanna can answer that."

Kanna smiles.

"I think that will be our secret Yuu-senpai. I mean you feel the same with Junko-senpai right?"

"Kanna! Not in front of her!"

"Hehehe.....sorry senpai.....I'm gonna sleep for now. I'm.....still tired."

"Rest easy Kanna. We will rescue your brother."

"Thanks......"

Then Kanna eyes slowly close as sleep overtaken her.

"Let's return to the mansion. ASAP I remember that it is possible that Sachiko and Natalya stole something from my mother."

"Let's go then, you two. Guard Kanna."

The two shadowspectre stand attention and salute. The group move out of the hospital.

.............................

>*Okada's Mansion*

The door opens as you see Mako humming something. She has already a shadow in the back. She must have learned from Okada.

"Mako! How is work."

"Oh! My queen welcome home?"

"Queen?"

"Well most of them call you queen so why I can't?"

"Nevermind that, where is Okada?"

"He is on his office calling various agencies. I don't know who are they though.

"Keep it up then. And oh, we are moving your siblings to an acceptable and spacious house. How is your mom?"

"She was prepped for a scheduled examination if there is a chance to heal my mother."

"Then my best wishes to you mother Mako, I hope you continue working with us."

"No in fact this is the most pleasing workplace that I ever worked for. Or I'm just waiting for you to throw me away. Whatever comes first."

"Uhm....I'll go to Okada's office now.....just work whatever needs to be worked."

"Of course my queen. Call when you need me."

She bows and continue cleaning the.....now that you see it clearly she was cleaning your portrait......

"WAIT WHAT? MY PORTRAIT I MEAN HOW?"

"Oh...Uhm....Master Okada commissioned it."

"I'm gonna talk about this one too."

You go to where Okada office is and you see him handling 2 telephone and various mobile phones. When he sees you, he drops all calls and greets you.

"Welcome my queen. How can I help you?"

"Okada, cancel the travel documents not the flight details make them missing so they wont be forged. Also give them fake identifcation and real spending money until this blows over. Although please don't give them too much or they will spend it on any alcoholic drinks. Also we need some information about Mrs. Yumegawa. Last time we talk is about her selling the house. You may have some ties to some real estate. See if you can track it. We may have need Sachiko mother to ask.

"It will be done my queen. Anything else?"

"I'll call you when I think of something."

You face around and the girls have your attention.

"Remember that girl that we raided the warehouse one? We gonna find her and convince to fight on our side.

"Alright but how? Also we have to find Kanna's brother too."

>Kanna's brother in danger. Rescue him first.

That girl's warehouse is in the industrial district and there were a pair of suspicious warehouses in the docks near bye. We will scout those out. I'm trying to convince her to help us specifically because too many civilians are in danger. Those bitches were willing to cause a plane crash. I think that will help make it clear who is the real danger here."
>"If we try to grab Kanna's brother alone we might set off a fight we are poorly equipped for at the moment. I want to make sure I have as much support as possible before I poke my head out again. Ideally we would set up a trap to lure the bitches away."

She's not happy with the existence of the portrait.

>>3386187
that sounds confused but not really unhappy to me

>>3386187
fair I was taking her initial embarrassment and confusion gave way to her pride (since according to Okada, Junko has that sin), then gave way to Yuu-obsession. I don't think I got the vote in time for the update anyway.

>>3386185

"Then we're going to do it simultaneously. Yuu, come here for a moment."

>"Sakura please scan her for a moment."

On it!

You extend you hand and made a scan inside Yuu's body.

Seems normal. Nothing out of ordinary.

>"No corruption?"

Maybe you are seeing things? Or is it because she is always near a shadow that she starts to adapt into it? I don't know really. Maybe we can make a Dark Magical Girl Passively if we keep this up.

>"Please don't"

Hey! I'm just speculating. Don't take this out on me..

"Yuu, ping if you can find anything hope or maybe if you can find Kanna's brother."

"Alright....I'll my best Junko."

"Okada give me a list of airports. Private or public. Do you know all of them?"

"Well yes there are only one public city airport here which is now on lockdown. The other option you have is sea."

"Nothing like a private strip?"

"No my queen. The land is too unstable to make one because the city is founded on the mountains. I do not know geography that much since I dropped off to school you know."

"I see....Oh yeah! Do you remember that teleporting shadow?"

"Oh yes! I nearly forgot about her. But I can still detect her. She is.......with someone?"

"Hm?"

"Two people. If I have to surmize, they are in a battle?"

Sachiko and Natalya found Yuuki? Fuck, they are trying to kill her to get that essence.

>"Calm down Sakura......we will go there if-"

"Junko, I found Kanna's brother location. He is in the wharf area.....or around the area. And the one magical girl we saw at the warehouse, I kinda lost her signal but last ping was at.......your home?"

"What home?"

"Back in your old home."

>Let's go to Yuuki, Sachiko and Natalya is there. She may need our help.
>Let's go rescue Kanna's brother.
>Investigate your old home. Seems Arc visited there.

>>3386189
but would junko, the most pragmatic and serious girl from the group will ask for a portrait AND blush from all things? I could buy it from marie because she is the oldest and the one most accustomed to a high class life, but not junko.
Also, no teenager finds a portrait cool when you have apps that can add a dog snout to your face and a dancing cactus to the background.

"Okada, how far is the battle from the wharf. If we use a vehicle could you have the shadow take him away after we check for traps."
"Sakura, we will help your friend but we have to think of a way to keep her on our side."
"Girls, Let's take the helicopter to the docks and see if we can get Kanna's brother back. While the bitches are distracted. Then high tail it over to Yuuki's battle."

>>3386199
>>3386200
I suspect that Kanna's brother might be booby trapped to keep us out of the battle. We might want check that first

>>3386210
There is no reason for that. Kanna is "dead" and we are grieving with the pain of losing our mother; they aren't expecting a rescue mission and they can't use the kid as a threat against Yuuki because she doesn't care about a random civilian. The warehouse might be booby trapped with the normal traps, but not him.

Also, if the girls manage to kill yuuki, they will get a huge power boost and we don't want that.

>>3386212
That's a good point but Sachiko know Kanna was working with Yuu and whoever she blames as we showed up in the last battle shapeshifted. She might have figured we saved Kanna and will try to hold him as a trump card.

I want to keep Sachiko off a power up too. If the boy is tracked up we should just leave him and proceed to the fight.

>>3386199
>>3386200

Writing also last post of the day

>>3386214
The thing is that for all intents and purposes yuu and sakura(because they still ignore that junko is alive) arent available. Yuu is crying her heart out, slowly becoming a shadow, while sakura is a big unknown. But she might be close to yuu since she rescued her.
Its just not possible that they expect an ambush from us after such a devastating blow. Also keep in mind that anime or not, fights last very little. One party just needs to get one real solid hit on the other before everything snowballs down. If we go to the warehouse we surely wont be able to help yuuki.

>>3386221
It makes sense. I might be being paranoid. The real problem is making sure Yuuki doesn’t start another three way battle.

>>3386218

"Let's go to Yuuki first. She needs our help. Girls, let's go."

..................

You arrive at some unknown location where you see a half finished building and sound of combat. You, Yuu, Marie and Raye are looking at one of the building not far away from the building that Raye told you.

"Marie, what do you see?"

"I see Yuuki struggling that is for sure."

"Then....."

That took too long. Took a nap on my keyboard. Anyway see you tomorrow

>>3386237
Thanks for running QM. I want to come up with a better strategy and see what other people come up with before voting.

This is not a vote but I think we should not shapeshift as Sakura. (Make sure she is ready to help if things go pear-shaped though.) Yuuki may overreact again. Sachiko and Natalya think Junko and (if she knows Junko isn't dead) Yuu are going to be grieving--not operating at full efficiency; we could get them to overcommit to a losing battle again. We should set up another ambush. Have Yuu buff everyone. Junko and Yuu go in close combat with Raye as Close fire support and Marie at range again. Attempt to flush Sachiko and Natalya out of the house and into the open--where they would get raked by multidirectional fire.
Alternatively, we could keep Marie closer and have her assist Yuuki at medium range as Sachiko might expect a long range attack again and Marie saved Yuuki from Arc and the brothel (if she still remembers that). The house is partially constructed so we would want to have Junko and Yuu flanks team bitch from behind while Marie assists Yuuki from another. If the roof isn’t on the place Raye could attack from above. Let’s see how team bitch handle three dimensional combat.

Natalya is the priority target to me. Her AOE Russian winter attack is devastating especially because we aren’t completely in the open especially in plan B. Sachiko might have a Trio Finale type attack to also watch out for. If either bitch starts chanting for a special attack they become the priority target and get pelted with attacks. If that doesn’t work knock out Yuuki and run while firing: a fighting retreat. Raye and Junko might want to use fire liberally inside the structure. It forces team bitch out in the open where they lose their AOE advantage and the fire should make Natalya’s ice attacks less effective. It would also sideline Yuuki but she seems to not have much left in her.
(QM a map would be helpful and how unfinished is the house. Have Sachiko or Yuuki blown any holes in the walls if it isn’t open. Don’t worry about this now it’s two in the morning where you are but it would be helpful later.)

If we can shapeshift as a random and do the shadow girl voice, it might help keep Sachiko in the dark. but survival and winning comes first.

I'm just gonna throw out some ideas and see if anons like any of them.

I think we'll be doing the fight as Junko this time. Our wrath tank is overfilled, we got that weird tactical trait,
A) Fire seems to do a decent job of weakening/melting Natayla's ice attacks. Maybe increase the temperature of the area to weaken Natayla's attacks? Yuuki might also rely on ice bullets, but they're still bullets in the end
The only one on our side alive is Yuu and she can probably give herself an air conditioning buff ahead of time. With luck those two might end up with heat stroke mid battle.

B) Jet fuel melts steel beams. We collapse the building they're in and hope they survive for us to interrogate. Yuuki can teleport so she's the least in danger barring Sachiko's plethora of abilities that we don't know about. Natayla might try to freeze her way out of death, but that leaves her a sitting duck for us to pick up.
C) In retrospect we should have supercharged ourselves on Mako and done an alpha strike via Marie or a black hole bomb
D)Blanket the area in water so that if Natalya freezes anything it also ends up freezing herself since the water is everywhere.
