The trio freezes in place here, and you press on, emboldened by their sudden hesitation, all while continuing to backpedal. + And this - this bullshit you're doing right now - isn't helping at all! +

+ ...So she IS dying. Not dead, but close enough. + The first shadow's voice, already dripping with a sick kind of delight, turns thick with sadistic relish. Its claws lengthening and then glowing with a caustic purple light, before it moves again. + Then I'll enjoy this all the more. Nothing personal - I'm just of the school of thought that Matsuda has never deserved the kind of role fate has given her. To be center stage in this grand play? Someone like her should be confined to the background. A tiny bit part, a mere discordant note in the song-- +

+ Hold on. + The second shadow speaks up, stopping the first in its tracks. Its amber orbs narrowing as it focuses on you. + Is that true? Matsuda-san...she's actually dying? +

Your reply to all three of them is a frantic, frenzied version of the same pulse you sent Kyoko. A balled-up wad of what you know, what you suspect, and what you fear is happening to Chiaki right this very moment.

Their reaction is varied and immediate. The third flinches as if struck, a look of horror deforming its occluded, fanged features. The first blinks, before cackling, seemingly taking pleasure in learning your sempai's fate. The second--

[1/2]

>>42047010

The second shadow lunges for the first, and both shadowy forms seem to evaporate at the sudden contact - before materializing on the floor, locked in a clawing, scraping grapple. The sound of bone breaking through repeated blunt force trauma punctuated by the sound of sharpened metal slicing deep into flesh. This disturbing cacophony overlaid by a screaming, baying choir coming from everywhere and nowhere at once.

+ O-oi! I don't think we're actually allowed to do that! + The dog-eared shadow exclaims, clearly shocked at the sudden turn of events. + We're supposed to be driving people crazy with bloodlust, not trying to kill each other! +

+ GET OUT + The hooded shadow screams, not even missing a beat as the first shadow's claws punch right through her back, before being yanked out in a gore-splashed crunch. + GET OUT, GET MATSUDA-SAN HER GUN. I'LL KEEP HER BUSY+

Anons, do you think that Midori will really have the chance to simply run and leave the room without anything happening? I mean, Risa is not in combat, and I doubt Yuu can holds Kirika for too long

>>42047334
Risa looks like she doesn't approve of killing Midori. She has standards.

>>42047368
Midori is too fat to be worth any points.

>>42047368
I believe that Risa doesn´t care about anything at all, so killing or not killing Midori is irrelevant to her.
The thing is, Risa is all in for the fun, and even if she considers this is not fun, she is clearly saying that she is up to kill Midori either way

The OP for thread 267 has her in it

>>42047548
Pretty sure he has at some point, but if not she was the protag of a fairly popular quest, so she should have other fan art.

Ok, assuming we leave the vault and nothing more happens, what is the next step of our plan? Going directly to Regalia (Heartcatch should be out thanks to Enishi) and put the gun through the hole?
By the way, we know how to open the hole in the door, no? Because it will be fucking lamentable to discover that we need a remote or something in that moment?
What is going to happen: QB has the remote in his office. Hahahahahahahaha

You immediately retreat from the furious melee, scrambling towards the vault doors and pressing your back against the cold metal as the shadows continue to rip each other apart. And you find yourself unable to look away - even with their wispy, half-incorporeal forms, the sheer bloody-minded violence of their movements keeps your gaze riveted upon them, making you behold every punch, every stab, every blood-crazed attempt at murdering each other.

The fact that neither combatant is of flesh and blood doing absolutely nothing to make their frantic grappling any less real, any less horrifying. If anything, it seemed to work the completely opposite way, not only amplifying the reality of their conflict but lending the sight a surreal, nightmarish quality.

You shake your head again, before attempting to contact your co-conspirator, Wendy, outside of the vault you've trapped yourself in. You need to get out, and while you want nothing more than to throw the door open and just make a break for it - you can't deny that doing could blow your cover, as well as the rescue op you've been desperately and painstakingly setting up for most of the day. So you decide to check with her first - just to make sure the coast is clear.

"...Negative. They're still here. They'll see you if you so much as poke your fucking head out, Green." Wendy replies after a moment. "...Christ, what the fuck is happening in there? I can hear--wait, what the fuck was that? Was that screaming--"

Gngh...! You can't wait for them to leave! You force yourself not to shriek as the clawed shadow cackles, and it's with a gout of red smoke that a severed arm lands in a wet squelch at your feet, before discorporating into vapor. ...Can, can Wendy do anything to get them out of there? Without...without doing anything permanent, at least...!

"..." Silence on the other end, at least for a few moments, before Wendy speaks up again. "Understood. Get ready to move the moment I say so."

[1/2]

>>42048110

O-okay. Okay. ...Wait, what is she going to--

"Now."

You hesitate for just one split-second before slashing the keycard down on the slit on the control panel beside you. A rather tight squeeze later - you didn't wait for the doors to completely pull themselves apart, instead making a break for it the moment you felt the gap between them was big enough for you to squeeze through - and you find yourself back outside the vault.

Back into reality, back into a sane world where blood-maddened ghosts sealed inside archaic weaponry didn't try to murder each other because they were simply bored inside their steel-shod prison.

And thankfully - just like Wendy promised - the corridor outside is completely empty. Devoid of life, devoid of any eyes to spot your treasonous thievery.

At least, until you see the American Callidus herself slipping out from what appears to be a nearby broom closet, surreptitiously closing the door behind her. Blood - fresh enough that you can smell it from here - marking the trademark checkered strip on her salmon-pink sweater.

...No. That's--no. She couldn't have. You told her--

"The fuck you looking at, Green?" Wendy snaps as she finally reaches you. By her own body language, you can tell she'd just gone through an altercation that may have been just as rough as yours - if not rougher. "Come the fuck on! We have a retard to rescue from her fucking Silent Room! What did you think I was going to fucking do?"

How do you respond?

>>42048110

>>42048332
Well, thecnically Midori is not the one who has killed them... althought I suppose she will feel like shit for their deaths

If those Meguca are dead dead, instead of just mostly dead, there's going to be repercussions.

Help is no good if it lands us in even deeper shit than the problem we were already in.

>>42048607
I'm sure even Wendy wouldn't be rash enough to off them entirely anon.

>>42048332
So, should we have voted to slap Wendy or something?

>>42048607
Totally agree with you. Even if the plan goes well, QB is going to order Wendy´s death

For the time being, we're just assuming that they're dead-dead, rather than just meguca dead. They might not be dead at all, instead, they might just be incapacitated and they'll wake up many hours later wondering what the fuck hit them.

It's too early to make assumptions, and unlike in Siberia, we're working under a strict time limit.

>>42048607

Don't see how this will come out good for Wendy regardless. Midori at least has the excuse she didn't hurt/kill them. Of course, it is possible the blood is all Wendy's

So who were the two that Wendy offed? All we know is that one was an Eversor and the other was a Vindicare.

>>42048660
I don´t get the Siberia reference. Can you explain, please?

>>42048649
Nope, wanna bet it'll be even more cruel than that? He'll order her dead... and he'll have Chiaki do it, since she's the Warmaster and all that.

That said, TBL did say Wendy has info on the next Golden dildo, so that might save her, at least for a time...

>>42048679
Irrelevant characters, probably

>>42048679
>one was an Eversor

That's what we get for not inviting Kuma-chan

>>42048679
Sayaka and Kyouko

>>42048683
The first Midori arc happened in Siberia. However, in that case, Midori wasn't working under a time limit. Things were fucked, but not so fucked that she needed to rush.

Right now though, the OP is a go, Enishi is in position, and we can't afford to stop or else we lose everything for absolutely nothing.

>>42048677
Things are going to be pretty bad for Midori too given that she stole a GW.

Also, the whole soulgem thing means that unless Wendy is incredibly stupid and incompetent, the people she attacked are probably not permanently dead.

Get your bottles ready. There's a shitstorm a coming.

>>42048712
Both are eversors. Also, Wendy knows those two, she wouldn´t made a mistake like that
>>42048738
Probably not. Wendy must know the Rank Leader of the vindicares of the 9th. I doubt she would attack her like that. Also, she said one eversor and one vindicare, wich means she knows their class, but not who they are

>>42048766
Because Wendy tends to make mistakes as badly as the players at our worst.
Also she's one of Pinky's Chosen, so we should always consider her compromised if we aren't controlling her directly.

On that note, the same goes for Midori. So long as we are in control of Midori, we can trust her. Every other time, we should be on our guard.

What if Wendy just challenged the two of them to a ketchup-opening competition, and they're both still in the closet trying to open the bottles so that they'll never have to live with the shame of coming in last?

Just a thought, but if Malal predicted the Matsuda would go into Worse than Hitler mode, shouldn't she also predict that we would try to help her? From the sound of this QB was in it from the start, which means that there is a possibility that QB is fully aware of what is happening right now

>>42048861
>So long as we are in control of Midori, we can trust her
Not even in that situation. Remember, anon, that is /tg/ the one controlling Midori. Expect shit to happens

>>42048861
>We can trust Midori when we're in control of her
Sure. Keep thinking that.

>>42048887
No. Remember that Malal´s memory was saying that we fucked up badly. This is something that wasn´t in her plan

>>42048861
>Also she's one of Pinky's Chosen

That is actually a positive. She will have kept the soulgems for Pinky.

>>42048887
I don't think Midori was ever part of Malal's plan.

>>42048926
Not if Pinky just takes the Soul Gems from Wendy's Inventory, which is possible.

>>42048738
Please, it was obviously Sayaka and Kyouko

>>42048954
Nooooo. Remeber that Wendy said one eversor and one vindicare. She knows that Sayaka and Kyouko are both eversors. She wouldn´t make a mistake like that.

Are you even thinking of what you are posting?

You wrench your eyes away from the bloodstain on Wendy's sweater. Forcing yourself not to think about what happened to the Vindicare and Eversor that you'd just asked Wendy to deal with.

Whatever Wendy did to them, it's...she's not entirely at fault, you remind yourself. Part of the blame falls squarely on you.

And you'll cross that bridge when you get to it. Just...not right now. Not right now, when you've got a sempai to save, and the time is quickly running out.

So instead of replying to the American Callidus - insted of giving voice to a nightmare scenario that you'd been fervently praying would not come to fruition - you simply turn and make for the quickest route to Silent Room Regalia that you know. Wendy immediately following suit, easily catching up and then keeping pace beside you. Both your footsteps echoing in the mostly-empty corridors.

It takes you ten minutes to reach your sempai's Silent Room. Ten minutes of complete and utter silence as both you and Wendy focus on nothing but what you need to do next: to somehow bring the Golden Desert Eagle that you've stolen into Regalia, and then into your sempai's hands. How to do that exactly is anyone's guess, but Wendy did say she has the first bit handled, so there's that at least.

The first thing you notice when Regalia finally comes into view - and nearly making you panic at the sight of it - is that Heartcatch Squad is still there. Standing still, in perfect formation, right in front of the huge reinforced door leading to the Silent Room itself. Their eyes open and alert, staring straight ahead, the very picture of sleepless, tireless sentries prepared to stand through the night and most of the morning, if need be.

[1/2]

>>42050214

But before you could alert Wendy to this, you make out another figure standing in their midst, facing the completely opposite direction. Her black kimono clashing with Heartcatch Squad's sea of bright color-coordinated insanity, in both style and hue. Her equally-long hair also as black as the midnight captured in the cloth of her dress.

And she's smiling. The curve of her lips visible even from this distance.

"...Well, I'll be fucked." Wendy breathes in begrudging awe, wincing as the both of you approach the shut-in princess. "An entire fucking Eversor Squad? Just like THAT, Karasawa?"

"I did promise Hanegawa my cooperation and contribution to her plan, and here I am." Enishi's smile is unwavering despite the beads of sweat trickling down her cheeks and forehead. "I'll also forgive the unfortunate implication of your words, Cooldown. A single squad of Eversors is no match for the Karasawa Technique of Voyeurism and Concealment."

Wendy makes to retort here, but you stop her with a question of your own. Is...is Heartcatch Squad legitimately inside an illusion right now?! You didn't even feel it happen, and any Callidus around should be able to feel the tingling sensation, at least! But this--

"Family secret, Hanegawa. I face censure - or worse, disownment - if I reveal anything to anyone not part of the official bloodline." Enishi grins. "But for all intents and purposes, yes, they are being made to believe that they are standing on duty, and there's nothing particularly exciting happening. However--" She gestures with a kimono sleeve towards Ecstasy Darks, the only member of Heartcatch Squad whose eyes are squeezed tightly shut. Her shoulders giving a small, tremulous shake every now and then.

[2/3]

>>42050242

"I believe she's beginning to suspect that something's up. No, she won't be able to break out of it on her own, but I suggest getting a move on and doing what we're here to do." The Karasawa heiress finishes, still unmoving from her spot. "And to do it as quickly as we can manage, or else things won't be as seamless as it should."

Right. Okay. So that's Heartcatch Squad taken care of. Thanks to Enishi, you won't have to worry about them trying to stop you.

Now it's just getting the Golden Desert Eagle to Chiaki that's left.

And then, after that, everything will be better again.

You turn to Wendy and nod - and without saying a word, she walks towards the Silent Room's door and wrenches open a small panel on it, revealing a small numbered pad. You see her quickly type in a sixteen-digit cypher, before turning back to you. As if to ask you one last time if you're sure about this.

You nod again, and the American Callidus punches in one last number. The heavy, blast-shielded door immediately cranking itself open, just enough for a person to slip through. Revealing nothing but cold, black darkness inside the room itself. Darkness and silence.

...Strange. You expected something more ominous to present itself, funnily enough. The scent of blood or rotting corpses. The screams of the murdered dead. Even a twisted, mangled copy of your sempai immediately bursting forth from the room's depths, to rip everything apart outside of her tomb with her claws.

You weren't expecting this...peaceful, funereal absence of light and sound. It's almost comforting in a way, actually.

[3/4]

>>42050242
Fucking Darks.

>>42050262

Wendy, for her part, doesn't seem to share your sentiment here. She takes a step back from the door, as if expecting something winged and demonic to burst out from the slice of darkness in front of you. "...Christ. I...I honestly thought it wouldn't be this bad. But it's worse. So much fucking...worse." She shakes her head. "You fucking retard, Kong."

She turns to you. "...You sure about this, Green? I can...I can take the gun to her on my own, you know. Might be safer, if what we're stepping into is that shit."

How do you respond?

[]No. I'm seeing this through to the end. ...You don't have to come with me if you're scared, Cooldown.

Is it really a good idea to have Wendy take the DEagle inside?

I mean, aside from adverse reactions from the Three Stooges, can we really trust her inside of a sea of Corruption? At least Midori's Soul Gem is linked to Matsuda's, who had the Procedure done to facilitate resistance.

You shake your head, forcing a smile on your face. You understand her concern, but really - asking you to back off, after everything up to this point?

No, you tell Wendy. You're seeing this through to the end, no matter what it takes.

...She doesn't have to come with you if she's scared, though.

Wendy stares at you for a moment, before shaking her head and stepping forward - her rough calloused hand quickly finding yours in a warm, disturbingly-comfortable grip. "...Fuck you, Green. Teach me to actually show genuine concern for once and I get called a pussy for it. Never fucking again." And then, as if to completely contradict her words, she gives your hand a squeeze - a weak, feeble, tremulous one. Showing you just how hard of a time Wendy is having just to keep still.

...Well, that's fine. It's okay to be scared, you think.

You're scared too. You'll be honest, today has been nothing but one fright after another, and you have the sneaking suspicion that there will be a huge one at the very end. The biggest to date, and the most horrible one yet.

But that in itself doesn't scare you.

It's the prospect of not being able to be there for Chiaki anymore after all this does.

You look back at Enishi. Is she going to be okay out here...? You and Wendy'll be practically leaving her alone with Heartcatch Squad once you step in.

"I'll be fine," The Callidus Rank Leader says, smiling. "The moment those doors close behind you is the moment I take off for my own quarters before undoing the illusion. This brightly-colored squad won't even realize what happened."

Right, just as you discussed with her during planning. Also helps with the whole non-incriminating thing.

"Yes, of course, and I'm very thankful for that, but..." The raven-haired Callidus seems hesitant to speak up here. Or maybe it's the effort of her task at hand. "...How will you two get out? What's your exit strategy? Should I come back here and put Heartcatch Squad under my control again later, or...?"

You shake your head. No, she doesn't need to do that. You don't have an exit strategy.

"But...that IS still a Silent Room, right? And--"

You hold up a hand. You don't have an exit strategy because frankly, no one knows what'll happen once you get into the room and hand Chiaki the Golden Weapon. Of course, you're hoping things will actually go well, enough that you won't even need a way to get out, but in the event that you do need to escape, well - you already have that covered.

"...I...I see." Enishi nods, through a mask of sweat and effort. "In that case, then I wish the both of you luck." A smile, wistful this time, curls her lips. "I hope that someday I will find someone who loves me enough to dive through hell for me, Hanegawa. The Warmaster is lucky to have you."

You feel your cheeks heat up at this. That's...you thank Enishi for her words, and ignore Wendy's rueful snorting. A brief check of your person and the Desert Eagle in your Inventory, you decide that you're ready, and say so. Wendy echoes the same, and the both of you stare at the yawning chasm at the door.

Giving one last look at the outside world before stepping in together.

...Hold on, sempai. Just hang in th ere for a bit longer.

The sensation of pushing through something palpable, like a resistance field of some sorts, is the first thing you feel.

The second is the cold, followed almost immediately by a crushing, choking darkness.

Just as you're about to cry out your sempai's name, however - the darkness lifts, revealing your surroundings.

You're no longer in the Silent Room you entered. This doesn't even look like anywhere in Mitakihara, or even in Japan.

Instead, you're in a large, white open plain, stretching out as far as the eye can see.

A plain full of shattered mirrors. Each one smashed, broken, or ground to powder, their empty frames jutting out of the hard-packed dirt like half-buried ribcages of some past civilization flash-fried to oblivion. Killed right were they stood.

"...Where the fuck are we?" Wendy murmurs beside you, her hand still gripping yours. You shake your own head in mute confusion, before the world suddenly changes. The cloudless, steel-grey sky replaced with one darkened with black clouds fattened by rain, each one flinging down drops of moisture that turned the dirt wet and muddy with every passing moment.

You blink at the horizon again, and see that the broken mirrors have been just as quickly replaced by corpses.

Each one wearing your sempai's costume.

Each one wearing your' sempai's face.

Each one sporting long, flowing black hair, and an expression of cold, hard determination, up to their deaths.

And in the distance, you could hear the titanic boom of high-caliber firepower being discharged again and again and again - a veritable war being fought.

What do you do?

Manuke already told us what's going on. The Homus are essentially fighting over Chiaki's body. So we need to get to the fighting, find her, give her the DE and help however we can, IF we can help at all...

Okay, so we're going towards the noises. Let's strategize. I bet we're going to get a scene where all the Homus try to pretend to be Chiaki in order to convince us to give them the gun. How do we tell which one is Chiaki? Also, let's try avoid revealing any personal info to any Homus we run into, so we can winnow out the crowd faster (doesn't know our name? Clearly not Chiaki.)

Well, odds are that are Homu will look like a Homucifer with shortened hair if she kept up her appearance. Remember, she chopped off part of it because it got in her way after the transformation.

So she should stand out because I doubt that there's that many TTO's out there, if there are any left at all...

>>42052617

Chiaki Matsuda looked out at the multi-layered, silvery world.
"Where am I?"
INSIDE THE MIRROR.
"Am I dead?"
THE ANSWER TO THAT, said Death, IS SOMEWHERE BETWEEN NO AND YES.
Chiaki turned, and a billion figures turned with her.
"When can I get out?"
WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT'S REAL.
Chiaki Matsuda ran on through the endless reflections.

>>42052617
But the problem is that since we're dealing with ALL previous Homu's AND Chiaki's, some of them are going to be Chiaki's that failed the Procedure, or did some other monumentally stupid thing like handing over their Soul Gem to Ahriman and not choosing to take control back from TTO, or who got themselves killed by the First Knight.

How do we tell a previous Chiaki Matsuda from our current Chiaki Matsuda?

This... seems surprisingly accurate... But would that mean that if Chiaki wins this, there will be no more Homus left except for the ones that ally with her?

Are we dealing with a Homura World War here?

To be fair, going towards it does not mean going IN the damn mess. Getting close enough to see what the fuck is going on will get us info faster, as well as tell us if we need to act right the fuck now, or if we actually have time to sneak around and look for clues.

Getting close enough to get a look means that we're getting close enough to get sucked into the fighting, when the Homura's and Chiaki's are using high caliber guns and explosive weapons.

The fact that you can't see that the option to go towards the fighting will get us sucked into the fight means that you're the same kind of idiot that couldn't see saying "Get Fucked" would have Midori charge straight into the fight against the Ribbon Fragment.

But they did, you blithering retard.

checking some of the corpses on the way to the big battle ground isn't the worst just so we can. make sure our sempai isn't already amongst the dying. or just hiding in a little igloo of corpses, and letting the others fight it out. its never really a bad idea to gather intel.

>>42053000
Unless you are on a time limit. Like I don't know the risk of someone dying if you don't make it in time or something.

>>42053000
Yeah, it's not a bad idea. But going straight ahead to the presumable goal also isn't a bad idea like the doom-shriekers who hate democracy seem to think.

Meh, searching through corpses can end up just as bad if one of the survivors just tries to shank us for our shit. The average Homu's pretty ruthless and just as bad as the average /tg/ murderhobo...

So really, in the end, BOTH votes can be HORRIBLY bad, depending on what Decu decides to do with them.

After all, if people remember, a lot of the guys that voted for the 'Get Fucked' option back in Siberia only meant it as what to say, not what to do, they never realized that Decu would do what he did with it.

She gave up and was witching out because her girlfriend died. Then there's the fact that she would just run and hide, or get herself knocked out, or just be a careless idiot, and make other people die in her place.

To be honest, Sayaka had a legitimate reason to hate Murderface.
She'd get Chiaki killed, not out spite or anything like that, but because she's just that much of a selfish fuckup.

Wendy caught a bad case of the deads. It couldn't be helped.

Maybe Murderface is so regretful and hurt that is willing to blame Wendy, even if it's unjust. In the Write-ups, Wendy mentions that she didn't want to die, that is not her fault. Maybe, if Murderface throws that to Wendy it can make her lose her cool. Of course, I am only making speculation, but seeing that Decu loves to drink our tears, I can see that happening

We needed the Golden Deagle in the first place to give Chiaki and edge over all the other Homus. That was the whole point of bringing it.
But all those Homus includes Kong. Wendy needs to help kill the girls she was in love with, who she thought she lost.

We fucked up. We REALLY fucked up. We should not have brought Wendy in with us.

On the other hand, Wendy's been getting better with both Midori and Chiaka and Mami

I'm sure all of these dead ones are from other timelines. Kong and Chiaki are from the same timeline, and should be the only left-handed ones. Also, both Kong and Chiaki are driven by the same goals not shared by any others, so there is no reason why the two would be in conflict.

>>42053317
Decu, you are really making us lose our shit here. I bet you are really happy now. Enjoy your anon-tears and anon-paranoia, both freshly collected

>>42053334

There's been previous Kong's, just as there have been previous Chiaki Matsuda's who had developed feelings for Midori.

The Armored Fragment showed that.

BINGO! I forget about that! Good memory, anon

Perhaps we will find the Homu that Yuma mind raped. The power of hugs should be enough to recruit her.
Then we can betray and break her again.

Chiaki got forcibly reminded that she's literally Satan, grew wings and met her adorable familiars on more pleasant terms
QB put her in a silent room because everybody else will murder them to death if they learn about her being satan
Malal popped up in an implanted memory and said 'yeah I thought this might happen, enjoy another memory wipe', to which Chiaki said get fucked
The dolls told Midori to get the golden deagle to her because she's currently having an incestuous mental battle royale
And now we here

>>42052521 >>42052627 >>42052648

In your entire career as a Magical Girl, you've never been part of a...a full-scale engagement. You've never been part of a squad wilfully sent into the grinder, to die in a massive conflagration of blood and fire and hate as entire groups of magical girls did their level best to kill each other. All in the name of following orders.

As such, you'd never been able to fully appreciate the kind of horror that such engagements left after the last spell had been unleashed, after the last bullet had been shot. You've never been able to behold firsthand the kind of devastation such an encounter brought, and how the sight of so many corpses could render any creed, any justification, any cause pointless and worthless.

But to see such a scene - of an entire horizon full of the dead and the dying, each one resembling your sempai down to the way they stubbornly kept a grip on their weapon even as the life bled out of them - you started to doubt yourself. In the middle of that horror, you started to wonder if you could actually help Chiaki. If you could actually make a difference, in the face of...well, all this. How it looks as if this time, your sempai was truly beyond your help, and how you've stumbled into something no one should ever willingly throw themselves into.

You turn as you hear the sound of someone messily depositing their lunch into the ground - and you blink as you realize that it's not you, this time. It's Wendy, loudly and painfully retching the remains of a burger, while still clammily holding onto your hand. You reach out and hold her hair away from her face as she does so - and she gives your hand a grateful squeeze as she finishes. Wiping her mouth with her sleeve as she straightens up.

Perhaps there is still hope.

>>42053770

"...Jesus Christ, Kong." The American Callidus finally manages to choke out, her voice hoarse and strained. "I...I thought you had some baggage. You told me you did. You told me about your fucking nightmares and how fucked up they were. Even made a joke about how shit they were compared to mine. I didn't..." She shakes her head, both in seeming denial and regret. "...I didn't know it was this bad..."

You shake your own head at this. You don't think anyone could have predicted it was this bad.

Not even you did, and you already died once saving her from her own barrier.

It's here, then, that a noise catches your attention. One of the corpses nearby, still alive, still drawing breath. You let go of Wendy - the Callidus gasping in alarm as you pull away from her - and immediately make for the survivor among the wreckage.

...She doesn't have much long. Her left arm is gone, and her entire lower torso is all but burned away. Despite this, she's trying to pull herself up, using the melted remains of an oversized machinegun to do so with little success.

You hesitate for the briefest of moments, before finally crouching down and helping the dying fragment of your sempai to sit up. Feeling your breath catch in your throat and tears prick at your eyes as you hold her frail, weak form steady. She looks up at you with unseeing eyes - one already rendered into bloody pink paste, most likely from blunt-force trauma, the other swollen over with bruised flesh and premature scabbing.

"Madoka...?" The fragment whispers, reverent, hopeful. "Madoka, is that you? I'm...please, help me up. I can still - nggh - I can still fight. The Nameless One is nearly defeated. I just need a clear shot." Her breathing, already light and feathery, begins to grow shallower with every gulp of air. "J-just one clear shot, and...and then I can save you myself."

How do you react?

>>42053812
?[x]This isn't your shempai. Go find your shempai.

>>42053812

Midori knows Madoka's voice, right?

Imitate her and tell her it's going to be alright.

>>42053812
>Everything will be daijoubu. You can rest now.
Remember, we work off of expectations. If she wants to see Madoka, we can let her see that

>>42053812
Hug her until she's gone.

>>42053812

>>42053867

I have no idea what to vote for here dear anons.

Shit, this is one of the enemy Homura's, working for the TTO.

>imitate Godoka's voice, tell Homura it's okay, just tell us which way to point her, is there a weakpoint we should look for
If we can get this fragment to tell us if Chiaki has a weakness or something that the other fragments are targeting, then it will help us cover her.

We can get information out of this enemy Homura. We shouldn't be wasting time with unnecessarily consoling her. We should get any actionable intel we can then move immediately under cover of invisibility to support Chiaki.

We have no gun. I considered suggesting we slit her throat, but it seemed uneccesary

Tell her everything's okay, and ask her to close her eyes.

I would hope we do, or else this whole excursion would have just been made pointless.

I am in no way advocating using the Golden DEagle.

>>42053812
> I'm Midori.

Then mercykill her and move on.

So, is the Nameless one OUR Chiaki then? Can we ask the gun what the fuck is going on? Because I was kind of hoping it would be more useful since it holds the souls of her previous incarnations. Maybe we can shoot them with bullets guided by their own dead selves?

>>42053867

These two.
>>42053894
>>42053812

>>42054118
You know I rather doubt this Homu would believe the "end her suffering with own hand" thing, maybe change the wording?
>>42054034
Something like this works, without the dumb wording.

>>42054147
...oh, right. THAT gun.
The thought of using it had never crossed my mind so hard

>>42054184
I wouldn't suggest using it in general. Need to fucking toss the damn thing to Chaki.

Seriously please remove yourselves from this quest.
