Episode 37: To Possess Strength

Rena: Have you found the black IS?

Houki: Yeah, we finally found them!

Laura: They seems to have been hiding in stealth mode, but we were able to link up with a surveillance satellite from Butei High's Information Department and get a confirmed visual.

Rena: How did you get permission?

Shirayuki: It's thanks to Shirayuki. Aria might have also pushed for it behind our backs.

Aria: I didn't do it. Not this time.

Lingyin: Not this time.....

Satoko: If the enemy is supposed to be hiding, does that mean we can surprise them from here?

Usada: That's good, then!

Cecillia: We're going to win! Do you know what it's going to take to do that?

Houki: I've gone over it a thousand times now. Believe in everyone and don't get overconfident in your abilties. If I do that, We'll will be able to......!

Charl: That's right. If we believe in each other and fight to the best of our ability, we can't lose!

Houki: To do that, you have to be calm. That's what I've learned makes you strong.

Houki: The way of the sword is to observe. In order to see everything about your opponent, you must keep your mind calm.....

Houki: That's what I taught Hibiki. If I can't do it, what can I do!

Lingyin: You don't have to rush in your Akatsubaki swinging wildly. Aim for the decisive blow.

Cecillia: I'll make as many opportunities as I can for you, if that's what it takes!

Houki: Yeah, please.

Lingyin: Good! Now, let's go over the plan. Me and Houki will be the vanguard.

Aria: Always be aware of each other's position and don't stray too far from each other to make it easier to follow. If you do, it will be harder for them to attack.

Cecillia: Laura and I will will be in charge of support.

Laura: Shoot to force the enemy into evasive action, then chase after them to create aa opportunity.

Charl: I use a number of weapons to make use of the quick change system, I'll use my weapons and shield to support in offence and defence.

Lingyin: Plus shooting, too. You've got the dexterity for it, don't you?

Charl: Yeah, leave it to me!

Aria: The rest of us who don't have an IS, will have to clean up the non-IS enemies. We won't let them get the better of us!

Satoko: It's a good idea to set up some traps. Leave it to me!

Meru: I'm the perfect partner to help Satoko out with that!

Usada: The beauty of it aside, we can't go wrong with that plan.

Jeanne: Shirayuki and Claude should keep looking after Hibiki.

Claude: No, I'll go with you. Shirayuki told me to go with you because you need someone who can heal.

Aria: That's true, too. It'll put more pressure on Shirayuki, but I'll ask you to come.

Claude: Right.

Houki: Thank you very much, everyone.

Aria: Save that talk for after you've won!

Lingyin: Ho, she's quick on the uptake.

Houki: I'm sorry. .... I just don't feel like losing. I don't know...

Shirayuki: I like your honesty, Houki.

Houki: Come on, don't be tease me!!

Shirayuki: I wonder if it's Hibiki's influence?

Houki: I....can't deny that.

Aria: So, now that our morale is up, let's go!

Everyone: Yeah!

Episode 37 To possess strength

Dark Houki:.......

Dark Houki: This reading is!

[Missiles rain down and destroy some enemies, Laura and Cecillia appear]

Laura: First fire in all directions! That didn't take long, you're a good shot.

Cecillia: Fufufu! Of course!

Dark Houki: A surprise attack!

[Shots are fired at the IS dopplegangers, Charl appears]

Dark Houki: Ku!

Charl: Oops, It's not that easy to get close!

Dark Houki: If so, then go!

[Some of the enemy IS move up but get shot down, Houki and Rin appear]

Lingyin: You're wasting your time! That wont work!

Houki: I wont lose this time!!

Dark Houki: I'm going to kill you!

Victory: ??? Defeat: Any ally defeated.

[Turn 2]

Lingyin: Houki, how's you're energy!?

Houki: I've still got plenty. Rin, what about you're shield energy?

Lingyin: It's all right! I'm going to keep going like this!

Laura: If we keep this up, we won't take too much damage.

Cecillia: That's a good feeling!

Charl: We've got a good balance of offence and defence.

Dark Houki: Tch!

[Defeat Dark Rin]

Dark Rin: These guys!

[Defeat Dark Laura]

Dark Laura: This is it.

[Defeat Dark Charl]

Dark Charl: I'm retreating

[Defeat Dark Cecillia]

Dark Cecillia: Damn, my shield energy.

[Defeat Dark Houki]

Dark Houki: You win this time!

[Defeat 4 IS dopplegangers]

Houki: There's one left!

Charl: All right, we'll push through!

Cecillia: We've come this far!

Lingyin: I'm going for it!

Laura: No!? Wait! Something's coming!

[The IS operators get shot at]

Houki: Argh! What is it?

[Kei appears]

Kei: Battle area, Scanning.....No abnormalitiies detected.

Charl: Kei!?

Laura: At at time like this!

Cecillia: Her mobility is just too good!

Houki: Bastard, why are you here!?

Kei: Fourth generation IS, Akatsubaki research. We have no knowledge of the technology, specification or confidential information.

Houki: So I'm the one you're after!!

Kei: Resistance is futile. It would be difficult for you to continue the fight.

Houki: You expect me to surrender!!

Kei: Wasted warning. Target, lock. Is it time to start the fight?

Lingyin: Of course it is!

Laura: We have no choice but to do it.

Charl: She has carried out unprovoked attacks all over Europe! She's not the kind of person who would leave peacefully even if we handed over Akatsubaki.

Cecillia: No matter how polite you are, a thief is a thief! I won't let you get away with it!

Victory: Defeat Kei Defeat: Any IS operator is defeated.

[Defeat Kei]

Kei: Minor damage. Continuing combat.

Houki: Ku, This is!

Laura: It's not just Akatsubaki...Everyone's shield energy is depleted!

Lingyin: We can't run away just because of that!

Kei: Attack, start.

Charl: She's coming!!

Cecillia: There's only 1 of her! We can't let her beat us this easily!

[Kei W Impacts Houki and shoots the other IS]

Houki: Guaa!!

Lingyin: What the hell is this!?

Charl: We can't stop it!

Cecillia: If only I had one more shot!!

Kei: End.

Laura: Damn it!!

Houki: Akatsubaki....Is this really all you've got? No, of course not! You have the power to protect your friends!

Houki: You and me, our true power!!

Houki: tsu!!

Kei: Sensor reaction, high energy levels detected. Source.....

[Akatsubaki recovers]

Houki: This is!? Akatsubaki's energy is recovering!?

Houki: Kenran Buto (Gorgeous Dance)...? this is Akatsubaki's one off ability!?

Laura: Wha-what!?

Lingyin: The Akatsubaki's turned gold!?

Houki: Everyone! Take this!!

[All the other IS recover]

Charl: What!? My energy?

Cecillia: We're going to recover!

Lingyin: We can do it! We can still fight like this!

Houki: The game is now on!!

Kei: Begin scan.....Error, analysis not possible. No energy source detected, cannot be identified. Unknown. Unknown. Unknown.

Laura: Let's reconfigure our formation!

Lingyin: Understood!

Charl: Houki and Rin go left and right! I'll cover the front!

Cecillia: Let's go! Blue tears!

Laura: Let's start the second round!

Houki: We can't lose!

[Houki learned a new skill [Kenran Buto (Gorgeous dance)]

Kei: Terminating data collection. No understanding of Kenran Buto. Restart investigation at a later date.

Houki: Haa, haa, haa, did we....win?

Laura: Yes, It's over.

Charl: I was wondering what was going to happen.

Cecillia: I'm glad you're all safe.

Lingyin: That was an exciting match!

Houki: That's good....

[Stage end]

Houki:.......

Houki: (Well, we've managed to produce results that Hibiki can look forward to, but do we report them as acceptable? What if she hasn't regained consciousness yet....)

Houki: (Ugh....Isn't it weird to report that we won to Hibiki while she's unconcious? What am I supposed to say when she's like that?)

Hibiki: Huh? Houki, weclome back!

Houki: Hey!? Hibiki!? Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting!?

Houki: ....Huh? What's with the rice cakes you're holding?

Hibiki: Nah, I've been sleeping a lot, so I'm really hungry.....Do you want some food, Houki?

Houki: Want some? You were.......You were in critical condition, unconscious. What the hell is going on!?

Hibiki: I'm fine, but Shirayuki's been looking after me all this time, so she's sleeping right now because she's tired. Don't wake her up, ok?

Houki: Thank goodness......I was afraid for so long that you would never wake up again!

Hibiki: I'm sorry for worrying you.

Hibiki: Actually, I don't really have a normal body, I have fragments of my relic Gungnir fused with my body, because of that I recover very quickly.

Hibiki: I don't think I'm immortal, but I think I'll be okay if I work hard. Hehehe.

Houki: I don't care what you say! No, even if you're fit, you mustn't try anything like that ever again!!

Hibiki: Houki.....

Houki: No, I know that it was me who was reckless and got us into trouble! It's all my fault! I'm sorry!!

Hibiki:.......So, can I ask you for just one thing?

Houki: What is it? Ask me anythingt! I'll do whatever you want!

Hibiki: Really? Then let's eat these rice cakes together!

Houki:......Is that all you want?

Hibiki: Mm! Yeah, Umeboshi rice cakes.

Houki:.......You only just got these though.

Hibiki: No, it's fine! I've got plenty of stuff!

Hibiki: When Rin came to save me, I was so absorbed, I was giving it everything I had.

Hibiki: It's hard to control a power, but in that moment I felt I could do it. I think that's why I got better so quickly.

Houki: And it saved you...

Hibiki:....Maybe!

Houki: Maybe!? That's right!!

Hibiki: I'm sorry, I didn't really know what was going on. But I just wanted to help you, that's all I could think about.

Houki: I see. .... Maybe that's when you get that unexpected power. I've just experienced it myself.

Hibiki: Really?

Houki: Yeah!

[Meanwile]

Riko: Hey, Mii Mii! Do you want to do something fun with Riko?

Mii: Huh? Okay! If you're not busy, I'll keep you company! If It's boring, I'll give you electric shocks.

Riko: It's all right! I've thought of something interesting! The name of the game is Police questioning!

Mii: What is it? It sounds weird!

Riko: Riko is going to ask you some questions as a police detective, and you are going to have to pretend to be the criminal and lie!

Mii: So you want me to lie to you right? It sounds interesting!

Riko: Okay, I'll give you an example. Hi, Mii. My name is Doronbo and I'm a murderer. My wife is your fan, you know.

Mii: Hahaha, you're weird!

Riko: Well, they are simple questions. I hope you'll be able to answer them quickly.

Riko: Have you ever received a gift from Lee Woo?

Mii: No no no!

Riko: (Good, she's lying. Mii is receiving support from Lee Woo.)

Riko: I see. Lee Woo's people must be very stingy.

Riko: So, do you know why I have been sent here by Lee Woo?

Mii: Because it looked like fun?

Riko: (That's also a lie. I work for them, I know why I'm here))

Riko: Hahaha! It's fun, isn't it? Yes, it's fun! It's like a treasure hunt for me.

Riko: So, do you know what my treasure is?

Mii: I know it! It's a game! Isn't it called Gallaga?

Riko: (That's also a lie, My treasure is not a game. Which means, she knows what the treasure im looking for is!)

Riko: Yes, that's it! Now, listen carefully. Is this where you keep my treasure?

Mii: Isn't it the game-shops that have the toys?

Riko: (If the game is a lie, then the answer is also a lie. And the treasure isn't here now.)

Riko: I see! That makes sense! So the game shop where the treasure is, is it in this world?

Mii: You can find a game shop anywhere!

Riko: (Lie. The place where my treasure is, it's somewhere in this world!)

Riko: Hahaha, you're too good at this! I'm done, I give up. I admit defeat.

[Riko leaves]

Mii: Hark ? The end? Riko's stupid play... It was fun, but how did it end?

Mii: Mii is a criminal! Does the story end with her getting caught? Hey! Riko! Hey!

[With Riko]

Riko: Ufufufu! Mii lied to me perfectly...

Riko: Riko got her hands on it at Gamers. A small lie detector made by Dejiko. It's a great way to find out if Mii is telling the truth!

Riko: Thanks to you, I know now! What Riko is looking for is somewhere in this world!

Riko: The rest is simple. I just need to find out where Mii is working. Then I can narrow it down to a few places.

Riko: Just a little more...Then I'll finally get you Holmes!

[Back with Mii]

Kei: Mii, why do that now?

Mii: Well, it's okay!

Kei:.....Incomprehensible.

Mii: More importantly, what about you Kei-chan? Where's the Akatsubaki? Did you break it?

Kei: The Akatsubaki produced an unknown energy source. I have decided that it should be analysed first.

Mii: Hmm, I thought the IS were a bit simplistic.

Kei: Acknowledgement of the need for a new designation is required.

Kei: Rika Furude's power, Dr.Shinigami's power, Angel's Tear's power, and Akatsubaki's power.

Kei: All unintelligible. Errors, incomprehensible

Mii: Fufufu! That's why they're interesting!
