[color=92278f]“Um you could say that…” [/color]Kaida said to Mamoru as they started running, she held her new cloak tight to herself. She had to be more careful after losing her cool fighting Acion. Just seeing Jett getting attacked like he did she had probably gone over a little overboard. She would have to apologize to Acion. Though Mina was different. She was a bitch. And Kaida never met a girl that she would call at bitch. 

As they ran Kaida looked behind them to see a couple of those machines following them, while others seemed to be fighting someone else… she hoped it wasn’t Jett… he didn’t look strong enough to handle it.

[color=548b54]”Enough chit chat. Let’s get inside the school and we’ll figure out what we need to do from there.”[/color]

Dulga ran up to the door and smashed the doorknob clean off, pushing the door down for the others to get inside. She had her guns raised and checked the halls to ensure that there wasn’t any more surprises inside. [color=548b54]”Move fast but carefully. We don’t know what else, or who else, is here.”[/color]

Mamoru nodded her head at the two girls in silent response to their comments. Kaida must have had fun fighting Mina while Dulga seemed extra worried about these robots. Mamoru wasn’t sure why, she had fought plenty of robots in the danger room already. And this time they don’t have the element of surprise, so Mamoru would have no problems tracking and taking them out.

That being said perhaps the others may need some rest. She knew that Yukari seemed to be in pretty sore states and Kaida wasn’t looking too hot either. At the risk of annoying Dulga, Mamoru spoke up. [color=pink]”Those robots will be here any minute. Let me hold them off for now while you tend to Kaida-Chan and Yukari-Chan!”[/color] Mamoru patted her chest confidently. By now the stinging on her thigh was less noticeable to her, if only thanks to running on adrenaline.

By now Yukari’s ears were slightly recovering from the explosion, but everything was still buzzing just a bit. She could hear Mamoru saying that she was going to stay behind to defend the others which Yukari shook her head. [color=bc8dbf]”No, I can still fight! I… I just need a few minutes to let my ears heal and I can fight the robots too!”[/color] Yukari turned to face Mamoru, her eyes drifting towards the wall behind her. She slammed her fists together to show that she still had some fight left in her.

Dulga furrowed her eyes brows when Mamoru and Yukari both wanted to stay back and fight the robots. Dulga walked to the both of them and flicked their foreheads. [color=548b54]”Now is [i]not[/i] the time for that sort of heroics. I will not let our team split up again. Our last attempt failed miserably because we couldn’t watch out for each other. Yukari got stunned and deafen, you got shot in the leg, and even Kaida had a tough fight on her own. No, this time we stick together. No more one-on-one. If we have to team fight so be it. Now let’s find a nurse office and patch up.”[/color]

Dulga resumes leading the group inside of the school, reaching what appeared to be a nurse office. She acquired some supplies, like bandages for Mamoru and Kaida, and some solution to help Yukari’s teargas burns and hearing problem. She also handed Yukari her earbuds after disinfecting them. [color=548b54]”Take these. They’ll help with your hearing.”[/color] These earbuds not only muffled the sound of gunshots and other loud explosions, but was also hooked up to the communitator so Yukari could still hear others talking to her. Dulga had a regular pair of earplugs that help deal with the sound of her gunfire.

Kaida was wide eyed when Dulga flicked Mamoru and Yukari in the foreheads. She touched her own as she mentally felt that flick MANY times with her father. Her real father...Not Draco. The one who trained her and when ever she messed up he would do that. She also felt bad because it was partly her fault for not protecting Yukari...she got up in a fight with Mina while Yukari got hurt. When Dulga mentioned Kaida, she looked down at her own clothes….really the worst pain she felt was that her cute outfit was ruined. Mostly just slight bruises from Acion’s feathers and well….her cheek did smart a bit from the punches she received from Mina.

She did pass on the bandages but did place a couple in her own pouch, just in case for later. She looked to Dulga as she put plugs in Yukari’s ears. [color=92278f]“Wouldn’t that effect her ability to walk around with her ears muffled?”[/color]

Yukari rubbed her forehead even though Dulga’s flick didn’t really hurt. It was just really weird, but listening to Dulga she wondered if Dulga was feeling guilty. It was hard to place it, but it felt like Dulga was trying to be strict with them, yet at the same time blaming herself for what happened. Yukari wanted to call Dulga out on it but she wasn’t sure if those were Dulga’s true feelings and before she could try Dulga gave Yukari some earphones. She plugged them in as told and could feel the sounds dampening. Everything was a bit muffled but after fiddling with the plugs a bit she got a nice balance of protection and audibility. She heard Kaida voice her concerns and Yukari spoke up.

[color=bc8dbf]”I can use more then just my ears to navigate, but they do help. I think this might be for the best though. If Dulga-san wants us to stay together I need some protection so I’m not deafen by her guns.”[/color]

It also helped that the ringing from the flashbang was subsiding now. Although everyone was patching themselves up Yukari kept one ear open for any footsteps or other noises down the hall in case they were being followed. [color=bc8dbf]”So what’s our next plan? Do we go after more teams or should we just go to the point now?”[/color]

Mamoru didn’t really need much aside from some pain ointment and some bandages. She wrapped up her thigh firmly so that the bandages didn’t fall off. She watched as Dulga tended to Yukari and Kaida, though Kaida didn’t look too hurt. In fact, it looked like Kaida’s clothes took more damage than Kaida did. Mamoru went up to her teammate while taking out a small sewing kit from one of her pouches. [color=pink]”Kai-chan, want me to mend your costume a bit? Looks like you took a lot of cuts, wouldn’t want your outfit to fall apart in the middle of a fight!”[/color]

Kaida glanced over at Mamoru as she offered to mend her clothes. She looked down and shyly used her imprompto cloak to cover herself, blushing slightly.[color=92278f] “T-thank you Mamoru.. But that would take too long I think…” [/color] She said softly, mostly because she didn’t want to waste time fretting over herself and didn’t want Mamoru to get a good look at her scales.

Mamoru looked a bit disappointed as Kaida said no. Mamoru hasn’t gotten a chance to fight anyone or be helpful this entire time. Even when she was trying to take on Jett, all she managed to do was get a kick and a shield throw in. Yukari and Dulga did more damage to him then Mamoru did, and they had more to do too. Mamoru was worried if she was really pulling her weight or if she was just tagging along now. [color=pink]”Oh…. Okay. Well then I guess um… I suppose I should be glad that we’re all doing relatively okay. At least compared to Jett. Dulga and Yukari gave him quite a thrashing. What about you Kaida? Did you get your hands on Jett yet?”[/color]

Kaida saw the disappointed look on Mamoru’s face and felt bad. She must really wanted to help somehow. She closed her eyes and forced her change so her scales turned to pink human skin. It might raise some questions on why she had no cuts but she didn’t care…[color=92278f] “Well… maybe you can mend this top one?” [/color]She said as she opened her cloak and held up the one that was just above her chest. Possibly the biggest one. Though when Mamoru brought up Jett, and the fact of getting her HANDS on him… she turned beet red at the thought. [color=92278f]“U-u-u-u-m no…”[/color] She looked away. Feeling bad as well for the boy.[color=92278f] “I-i-i got sidetracked with fighting Acion…” [/color]clearly flustered after mentioning of Jett. 

[color=pink]”Yay! I’m helpful!”[/color] Mamoru picked up a thread that matched the color of Kaida’s top and started to suture the cuts. Mamoru’s needle moved quickly but smoothly, never poking Kaida and leaving very little visible thread. As she was listening to Kaida, Mamoru noticed the stutter in her voice and got a mischievous grin. [color=pink]”Ooooh? I’ll admit Acion was a surprise, but I’m more surprised that you didn’t get a chance to have some private-time with Jett like the rest of us. You better keep up Kai-chan! The rest of us already had our turn with him, you’re the only one left behind!”[/color]

[color=92278f]“W-w-w-w-what?!” [/color]She said suddenly at Mamoru’s mention of private time with Jett. She grew really confused because that didn’t sound like fighting, it sounded like Jett had been with these girls…[color=92278f]”What do you mean?!” [/color]She added, she was so red at the thought of alone time with Jett that one could almost see the steam coming out of her ears. As she sat down, she was looking away, her hands on her lap… mindlessly poking her two forefingers together.

Yukari couldn’t help but sputter when she heard Mamoru and Kaida overtalking about Jett. Mamoru sounded like she was saying something dirty though, which made Yukari embarrassed as she spoke out. [color=bc8dbf]”M-Mamoru-san! Don’t say something like that, it sounds vulgar! All I did was… Well… I just sort of grazed his um…. His inner thigh, and wrapped around his leg, a-and…”[/color] Turning an even brighter shade of red Yukari was reduced to embarrassed blubbering as she realized that she might have just made things worse too. [color=bc8dbf]”No, stop! It’s not like that at all! He just had really strong legs, so I had to put my whole body into it! Don’t think dirty thoughts! Don’t!”[/color]

Kaida’s head snapped to Yukari  spoke up. Her eyes wide as she somewhat confirmed her thoughts. Her own red cheeks rising at the same time Yukari did. Then when she blurted out that last part Kaida nearly died from too much heat flowing to her head. She looked down and tried to hide her gaze from everyone. Yukari saying don’t think Dirty thoughts….only made her think of it more. Wondering what she was doing with strong legs and….[i][color=92278f]’NO nononono’ [/color][/i] she shook her own head trying to rid herself of those thoughts. Her hands gripping the end of her skirt tightly as if that would help, just waiting for mamoru to be done.

[color=pink]”Oh yeah, Yu-chan was going [i]crazy[/i] on Jett. You should have been there Kai-chan! It was smoking even! She was just all over Jett’s lower body, he couldn’t do a thing. He was about to plug in something big, red, and hot into her just to loosen her up, but then I stepped in and made sure Yu-chan had some [i]protection[/i]”[/color] Mamoru finished stitching up Kaida’s top to the point it didn’t even look damage, though she may notice it felt just a little bit tighter. Mamoru started stitching up other spots too as she kept teasing Kaida with her jokes. 

[color=pink]”Even Dulga got in on the action. Right as things were about to reach its climax with Yukari and Jett, I saw Dulga jump in while Tomoe was riding on her back! Dulga was getting tag-teamed by Jett and Tomoe at once from both ends, but Dulga took it like a champ. Wasn’t long before she left Jett and Tomoe in a sore, panting heap. The things Dulga can do with just one hand, Kai-chan… You should’ve seen it. I wish I could have done it myself.”[/color]

Dulga was getting really pissed off at how easily sidetracked these girls got. She didn’t mind if they wanted to make jokes to ease the tension, but now it was just getting stupid. Not that Dulga didn’t have a few jabs of her own. [color=548b54]”I swear to god Akasha, if you don’t shut up right now I’ll stick my barrel down your throat. And I’m not going to be as gentle as I was with Jett.”[/color] Dulga loaded a bullet into her shotgun just to emphasis the point. Then she pumped her rifle again with one hand for intimidation and a visual innuendo. [color=548b54]”I will blow this load all over your face.”[/color]

Shaking her head frantically Yukari felt like she was going crazy with all these sexual innuendos being thrown around. She heard Dulga saying something and hoped that she was going to bring order back, but from what she said it sounded like Dulga was joining in this insanity too! [color=bc8dbf]”D-Dulga-san, please don’t be so rough with Mamoru-san! We can’t be doing something like that here at school, what if the teachers were watching?!”[/color] Trying her best to be the voice of reason Yukari stood up between Dulga and Mamoru so they didn’t end up coming to blows. [color=bc8dbf]”We know that Mamoru-san can be over eager, and Dulga I know how much you love using those toys of yours, but we can’t do that right now. Please, if you two need to do that, don’t do it around Kaida and myself. Now please, can we focus on our job right now?”[/color]

Kaida was in shock. So much innuendos her face was crimson at the thoughts that NO ONE WAS DENYING being with Jett like that. She was literally shaking. No it had to be jabs...Jett wasn’t like that was he? She shook her head added her on voice...sounding uncomfortable. [color=92278f]“U-um Yeah... I’m ready to go... “[/color] She pulled her cloak over herself. She couldn’t look her teammates in the eyes anymore….

[color=548b54]”Okay seriously enough with the jokes.”[/color] 

Dulga clapped her hand loudly, loud enough that even Yukari would feel a sting through the earplugs. After getting everyone’s attention Dulga brought up the map of the area again. [color=548b54]”The auditorium is going to become a deathtrap. Everyone is going to go inside to fight for it, and it’ll just be too chaotic for me to make a plan that we could stick with. We could try to pick people off from here, but I’m the only one who can do that and I don’t intend to let you guys out of my sight. But we can’t fighta  defensive battle any longer; if we don’t try to take the point, we’ll lose even if we’re the last team standing. So we need to take advantage of the chaos.”[/color]

Dulga zoomed in on the auditorium and highlighted the various entrances. Particular ones she selected was the north, west, and south entrances. The west and roof entrance was left circled but not highlighted. [color=548b54]”These three entrances are most likely going to be used. The roof entrance is only accessible to a select few, and the only ones who’ll come from the east is Team E, who I’m sure would have tunneled inside instead. To that end these three entrances could make a perfect chokepoint for us to take out other students on their way in. I’d suggest the south entrance; Team C and D will most likely going for here, if they don’t use the east entrance. This time I want Akasha and Yozakura to hold the south entrance while Kaida and I hide around this area.”[/color] Dulga circled an area a little bit to the south.

[color=548b54]”I need you two to hold your ground and try to exhaust anyone who you come across. Then when things look close, me and Kaida will come in to pick off the stragglers. Whoever is left from Team A will probably try to go to the West or North entrance, but I imagine only Ezra and maybe Tomoe are left from Team A. Jett received a lot of damage from us so even if he’s still standing I doubt he can put up much of a fight. And if Mina is still active, then we can take her out together too. Regardless Team A aren’t a priority. Taking out or weakening whoever is in Team C and D takes top priority.”[/color]

Dulga then looked at Yukari and Mamoru with a contemplative look. She was debating what to do with these two in the long run. [color=548b54]”This isn’t a death or glory mission. I made the mistake of thinking that we could easily take out any of the students with an ambush or surprise attack. But if we can weaken them and force them to keep moving instead of resting, we can outlast them. Once they get to the auditorium they’ll have no choice but to keep pressing forward. When you think you’ve done enough damage, Yozakura and Akasha, I want you two to disengage. If they chase then we’ll pick them off, but chances are they’ll try to take over the point even in their weakened state. Then we’ll go after them again while they’re fighting with the rest of the other students inside.”[/color]

So far Mamoru has kept her mouth shut and followed Dulga’s plans. She seemed like she knew what she was doing, and Mamoru wasn’t really a planner. She generally operated on instinct and whatever seemed like a good idea at the time. To say that Mamoru was hot-blooded and rash was true, but she wasn’t entirely foolish either. She can recognize an obviously bad idea when she sees one, and knows to speak up when she has doubts like she does now. [color=pink]”Are you sure it’s a good idea for us to do this again? I mean we just tried that with Team A and we didn’t really get too far with it. You said it yourself Dulga-chan, we took a bit of a beating and didn’t get much out of it. I don’t know how Mina is doing and while I’m sure Jett is in bad shape, we didn’t run into Ezra so we have no idea how much strength he has left. Not only that but I don’t know anything about whoever might be coming from the south. That’s Team C and D right? I know Roy is there, and I think Fumika, but I never really saw the others in action before.”[/color]

Mamoru leaned forward and tapped the rooftop entrance to highlight it in pink. [color=pink]”I’d say if we’re going to do any defending we should do it from here. This way anyone who comes to the auditorium you can shoot down from, and if anyone gets through we can drop in and take them out. I don’t see any purpose in us trying to lay in wait outside of the auditorium since we’ll lose if we’re not there at the end of the match.”[/color] Mamoru tried to see if they could look inside of the Auditorium but there wasn’t any options to do that. She pouted but sat back down.

[color=pink]”Not only that but I bet we’re not even the first ones to get to the auditorium. I don’t know who might be there, certainly not Team A, but if anyone else did get there I’m sure they have some of the entrances secured already. If anyone from Team C or D got there before us we might end up walking into a trap ourselves. And from Team E, Acion can fly but not the rest of his team. If he shows up he’ll be the only one we have to deal with if we’re on the rooftop unless Haruka, Donny, or Luelle can make them fly or jump to the rooftops. But if we’re on the ground that gives them a chance to fight all of us on even ground, literally!”[/color]

Mamoru took out one of her hornet nest grenades and juggled it in her hands. She had a wicked smile on her face as she looked to her team members. [color=pink]”Chaos breeds opportunity. If everyone goes inside to fight, that just means we can take them all out in one swoop! I throw one of my bombs in there while everyone is busy fighting and I could take out five or even ten people at once! So instead of trying to filter everyone who comes through, we should funnel them all together instead. Maybe even those giant robots can help! Didn’t you say that the teachers released them to make students go to the auditorium anyways?”[/color]

Listening to the two talk Yukari didn’t have much to say. She had to agree with Mamoru though; Yukari didn’t like the idea of them playing defensive again when it’s already been about a half hour since the battle started. Taking out other students wasn’t nearly as important as taking the central point, and while weakening the others would help Yukari felt it would be better if they had control of the point first. That being said she has no idea how they’ll do that since everyone will be going after it. Yukari knew how to fight maybe three or four of the students in class, but not all of them, and certainly not in a big free-for-all like Mamoru was suggesting.

[color=bc8dbf]”Maybe… We can focus on attacking the ones inside the auditorium already? I mean everyone is going there eventually. We could attack from the roof entrance since that’s a nice defensible spot I think, since it’ll keep us out from the immediate fighting but in the perfect spot to bunker down.”[/color]

Kaida listened to the plan and was ok with both actually. She rubbed her arm and asked, “What if Team D and C are already inside? The four of us are all strong enough for close combat. You even have a shotgun Dulga. If we stayed together and went in slowly? Not guns blazing but taking out people as they come, we could clear that auditorium quickly.”

Dulga listened to everyone, trying not to be too critical but mindful of what they’re telling her. Mamoru wanted to take on everyone at once which Dulga was completely against; unlike Mamoru, Dulga wasn’t so cocky that she thought she could take on everyone. If she did, she’d have to plan carefully, not just shoot indiscriminately. Yukari had a slightly better idea of using the rooftop entrance to pick off people already inside the auditorium though Dulga wasn’t sure if there was any rafters or something for them to be in. But ultimately It seemed like everyone wanted to move in on the attack instead of setting up a defensive perimeter around the auditorium.

[color=548b54]”Three against me huh. Fine. We’ll attack the auditorium. We’ll get in through the rooftop entrance to minimize the chance of us running into the other students. Then we’ll move slow but steady. Akasha, Yozakura, you two take point. Kaida I want you with me. If anyone comes up behind us we’ll fend them off.”[/color] Dulga looked outside and could see the auditorium from the nurse’s window. It was a fairly long jump, but she had an idea how they could get to the rooftop easily. [color=548b54]”Let’s head to the roof. Yozakura can you turn yourself into a slingshot?”[/color]

[color=bc8dbf]”Yes! I’m actually quite good at it. As long as someone else can aim for me, I can send you or anything else about three-hundred meters away.”[/color] Yukari jumped to her feet and felt pumped. It looked like they had a plan and hopefully this time Yukari can redeem herself for her poor performance last time. She still had many ring binds left, her Capturing Cloth, and one smoke grenade. If they were going to go right into the auditorium the smoke grenade could be helpful, though Yukari made sure to grab something she can use as a mask. She didn’t want to choke out from the smoke.

Everything was going better than expected! Mamoru’s thought to take on the people inside the auditorium had Kaida’s and Yukari’s suppose, so even Dulga had to concede to it. She still had a plan for how they would approach it but Mamoru was fine with that as long as they were actually going to be on the attack this time. No more sitting around! Mamoru even got to be the vanguard which was extra nice. Things just keep getting better and better when Dulga wanted to know if Yukari could be a slingshot and Mamoru knew exactly what she had in mind.

[color=pink]”Omagawd are we gunna be catapulted to the auditorium!? That’s hardcore!”[/color]

Kaida nodded when Dulga said to be with her. She didn’t have anything else to say as she mentioned a slingshot. It was an odd concept, But that would leave her behind. She shook her head as she knew dulga had a good idea. “Ok… Lets do this!” She said slightly nervous.

Everyone was in agreement with the plan, so they head to the rooftop. Finding two solid poles for Yukari to grab Dulga aimed towards the auditorium rooftop. [color=548b54]”Akasha first, then Kaida. I’ll go third. Yozakura, I trust you can get to us quickly?”[/color] Dulga looked at Yukari as she pulled her back, ready to load and launch Mamoru.

[color=bc8dbf]”Yeah. Give me some time to set up and I’ll be right behind you. Alright everyone, all aboard!”[/color] Yukari adjusted the elasticity of her body so she could send everyone over as safely as she could. Once Dulga was sent, Yukari loosened herself up and ran back a fair distance before increasing the tension in her arms. Once she had the suitable strength and a vague idea of where the others were, Yukari launched herself towards the auditorium, landing on the rooftop gracefully. She adjusted the earplugs, got her rings ready, and made sure her smoke bomb was handy. [color=bc8dbf]”Okay everyone I’m ready to rock!”[/color]

[color=pink]”Wheeeee!”[/color] Mamoru sailed through the air, rolling into a ball while having her shield out. She landed perfectly on her shield whilst doing a handstand, then placed herself back onto her feet. She’d help the others with their landing too if needed, otherwise she looked around to make sure they weren’t going to get jumped. Once the coast was clear Mamoru took out her stun tonfa and looked excitedly at the others. [color=pink]”We’re doing this. We’re doing this! It looks like it’s just a drop straight into the auditorium. How do you want us to greet them? Hot and hard or a gentle caress?”[/color] Mamoru said while squeezing out more innuendos.

Once everyone was present Dulga checked her rifles one more time. No doubt they’ll be walking right into the meat grinder once they’re down there, and Dulga especially would be at a disadvantage. Enclosed spaces and melee isn’t the best place for a sharpshooter like her even with her super strength. Still, this was the plan that everyone wanted. Dulga will make sure it works.Dulga loaded both of her pistols and kicked open the door. [color=548b54]”Let’s roll.”[/color]
