You look back at your sempai and her ex. From their body language it seems the conversation has taken a tense turn, with your sempai gesticulating and shaking her head a lot more while Wendy's deliberately looking at anything else other than your sempai. You frown here, and wonder if you should get up over there and try to intercede - but a break in the tension, with Wendy finally letting out a sigh before slowly nodding, resulting in the younger version of Chiaki to punch her fist playfully in the air - convinces you otherwise.

"Midorin! Midorin, she said yes!" Your sempai shouts excitedly as she runs back towards you, all smiles, maximum energy, a sight you thought you'd only see in your wildest imaginings. "It took a bit of arguing, but she finally said yes!"

What? Yes to what? You say as you stand up from the bench, smiling at her and then at Wendy following close behind.

"To a threesome!"

Oh! That's good! You were getting worried there for a second, and--

WHAT?

"...She's fucking with you." Wendy replies after a few seconds of forcing your sempai to shut up via a rather cruel-looking headlock and a gloved fist being ground into her scalp. Your sempai's protests ending up muffled against the side of her ample chest. "Just talked my head off about us trying to get along a bit more, because apparently at one point in the future we try to kill each other for real."

Really? You blink at her, then at your struggling, squirming sempai.

"Mnnghf!" Your sempai shouts, or at least tries to, one hand coming up to frantically pat Wendy's arm in the universally-accepted sign of 'I give'.

"Yeah. Really." Wendy intones, ignoring your sempai's submission. "I said yes, but she wanted me to promise. Wouldn't stop talking unless I promised.

...Huh. Well, that's...good, you suppose. Anything to stop the both of you killing each other at some indeterminate point in the future is good, isn't it?

[1/2]

>>42867576

"...Yeah." The American says again, before finally letting your sempai go. The uniformed girl gasping for breath as she manages to break away.

You have a sneaking suspicion that it's something else more than that, but you'll just have to ask her about it later. ...It won't be the first time your sempai's kept something from you, that's for sure.

"A-anyway! Let's get out of here before the dildo brigade finds out we're here!" Your sempai pipes up, jerking a thumb towards the skyscraper in the distance. "Midorin, just give me the Desert Eagle and we'll all get back into the real world, quick as a shot! I'll..." A shadow briefly flickers across her features. "...I'll try to remember as much as I can about what we talked about now, but if I don't, just...feel free to smack me around until I do, okay?" She smiles at you apologetically, and you couldn't help but grin at that.

Well, maybe not smack around. You'll just try to get her back up to speed as gently and as quickly as you can, so the plan you agreed on has the best chance of working.

Your sempai smiles. "Well, that's the best I can hope for, I suppose." She holds out her hand to you. "Anyway, the Desert Eagle, if you please, Midorin?"

Oh, right. Sure. You take the gun out of your inventory, making sure to grab it by its holster. The weight of the oversized firearm making you grunt at the effort.

Just as you make to hand it over, however--

+ SHE'S HERE SHE'S HERE SHE'S HERE +

The panicked psychic cry stabs into your mind like a rusty knife, hot and painful - just as you see a seemingly-insignificant split-second flash of golden light at the corner of your eye.

+ SHE'S HERE SHE'S HERE SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO EVEN KNOW YOU'RE IN HERE +

[2/3]

>>42867588

The world slows down to a crawl, with your sempai still smiling, still waiting for you to hand over the Desert Eagle. Seemingly completely oblivious of what was about to happen.

Your heart pounding hard against your chest - your blood roaring in your ears - you realize you only have mere moments to react.

No time to say sorry beforehand, or even to make sure the both of you land without hurting yourselves - you simply force your tired, weary body to move, in order to get your sempai out of mortal danger in the quickest and most direct way possible. At the same time pulse a hurried warning to your fellow Callidus.

Your desperate shoulder tackle catches the smaller, younger version of your sempai completely and utterly by surprise, her frame easily swept off the ground by your momentum - and you wrap your arms around her, covering her with your body as the both of you unceremoniously crash into the hard-packed dirt. Nearly the same moment - barely a split-second later after you land- you feel the earth-shaking thud of something huge and heavy smashing into the ground mere feet away from where you landed in a heap, before exploding in the next. Showering the both of you with clods of earth and bits of rock.

"What--" Your sempai shrieks, struggling to get out from underneath you but you pin her there and continue shielding her with your body as similar impacts begin to pound the earth around you. You squeeze your eyes shut, gritting your teeth to keep yourself from screaming, desperately praying to any god who will listen to make it stop, whoever or whatever it was who was doing the shooting. Raging at how...how FUCKING unfair it is, for this to drop on you now, with you literally away from getting your sempai back home safely.

It never ends, does it?

Can't the universe just give you and your sempai a chance at a normal life together?

...

After what seems like an age - one that you spent white-knuckled, tense and shivering as you braced for that crushing, killing impact that would see you dead, a fate you'd have accepted if it meant being able to shield your sempai from such pain - the bombardment stops.

It takes you another age to regain what little composure you have left and open your eyes. Immediately closing them again, having opened them to a stinging, tear-inducing dust cloud. You open them again a few moments later, still holding on to your sempai, looking around the now crater-infested landscape. To check on Wendy, as well as to try and figure out who - or what - did this.

The answer to your first question is...a limp, unconscious silhouette in the far corner.

The second is answered for you, with another silhouette striding from the dust cloud.

A confident silhouette, tall and proud, holding an elegantly-barreled rifle in each hand.

And one of them - despite being completely identical to the other - is pure, blinding gold.

And when she finally comes into full view - close enough for you to see her face - you feel your blood in your veins freeze as you realize what you are truly looking at.

Death. This is how you die.

This is how everything you fought tooth and nail for slips out of your hands, like so much sand.

"Midori-san." Tomoe Mami's voice is as warm and as kind as you've ever heard it - but underneath, you also hear the edge of steel, a forced calm that is as heartbreaking to hear as it is terrifying to behold.

The sound of a hero - a true hero - girding herself to do something she doesn't want to do, but has to for the greater good.

"I'm sorry."

No preamble. No megalomanic speech. No rambling, manic gloating.

Just an apology, before one of the rifles - the golden one - is leveled at you.

"Please move aside and let me kill Chiaki, Midori-san."

...

How do you react?

Y'know, in a way, this is perfect. I doubt anyone can monitor what's happening here... so if Mami were to die here of all places, there's no way to fully pin it on Chiaki, because there's Homu-wars everywhere anyway.

Though perhaps we should ask her if she wants to also kill all the others out there too? Cuz, there's plenty of Homu to go around right now, Midori just wants hers to stay alive, Mami can get as many of the others as she wants.

Should we try summoning Tiny Pete? I forgot how long he needs to turn up.

Nope, I still find my suspension of disbelief being stretched. I suppose it could be possible, but, wasn't Mami in a meeting with someone from the First or something when we started all this? Plus... I doubt maintaining those ribbons over large distances comes with no magic cost... considering the time involved, and the distances involves, which are much more than what happened in Rebellion, Mami should be either running on empty, or had to have used one or more GS already and I doubt she has access to an unlimited amount.

No matter how you look at it, this is a bit farfetched, and I doubt Pinky would send someone as tough as Mami against Chiaki this soon.

You say that like Mami's entire powerset doesn't guzzle magical energy like a whore. And considering her influence in the 9th, I don't doubt she has enough pull for some grief seeds.

>>42869247
You must be new or something. It's amusing only for the several few hundred times before it gets stale and boring.

>>42869190

You'd think it'd be harder to jump unnoticed into a crazy witch barrier and evade notice from a lot of crazy Homus, a few of which have probably been betrayed by a Mumi sometime in the past.

Though to be fair, they are tunnel-visioning really hard on the fortified death-trap decoy.

There's a teleporter to and from the moon, and she may have been (gasp) lying about being there
Being in the silent room could easily make sense if we were played like fiddles and had tabs kept on us
Finding us is a bit dicier, it could be ribbons but yeah

>Knowing the specific spot in the anti-teleport room to go.

>>42869313
The First has teleportation facilities, and the Homu's are all concentrated at the Tower.
As long as she jumped into the Barrier elsewhere, and used her Golden Musket to track the Golden DEagle, she wouldn't have encountered the Homura's, and they wouldn't have seen her either.

>>42869313

>Assuming that she was actually on the moon

>>42869313
Maybe she bugged Wendy? She was buddying it up pretty hard with her, after all. You could do almost anything to the one you've went balls deep inside of without them noticing.

If one weapon can track the other there is no excuse for us collecting only one in the past 200 threads.

That's because Chiaki is merely a Golden Weapon User 1.

Mami is a Golden Weapon User 2. Or what is called an ascended Golden Weapon User, if you will.

>>42869385
>there is no excuse
Well maybe we could have collected more if we did as QB ordered us to and went out to collect them, instead of shadowrunning about what he and Malal were hiding from us.

Which, it turned out, was that they were memory-wiping Girl A until she'd just finally go out and start collecting the Golden Weapons.

Yeah back when I started reading this I figured we would have most of the golden weapons by the time I caught up with the threads. But then again I didn't think you guys would waifu the tacticool gang rapist, so what the fuck do I know.

On a different topic, you think Decu is going to do an all-night thread?

In our defense - we didn't even know Wendy exists back them, so it was betwewn the idol truck, greengreen and minimaid.

>>42869479

Things kinda got clogged during the Prophet arc. New character intros, and stuff along with a golden weapon. And now there's all of this business, which is a lot of plot stuff involved with not finding a golden weapon and STILL dealing with the ramifications of the Prophet arc.

>>42869529
We should have just taken TTO's deal.

>>42869590

Chiaki should have invested more points in WIS and CHA so she could have talked the TTO into merging with her.

>>42869460
Do you see this thing I'm holding in my hand? This metal, shiny object with a large, concave oval head?

This is a spoon. I will use this to feed you.

He's making a reference to a meme about Dragonball Z

We will probably have to fight Mami next vote. Do we have any options other than Tiny Pete and hoping the dolls are around?

>>42869513
It was either that or have another goddamn failure on their hands, like every single previous timeline and Girl A/Murderface before she'd get another memory wipe.

From how many partners we got killed, it's pretty obvious that without Timestop, Murderface was pretty shit as a Magical Girl, and barely worth keeping around.
Would you let any one of those previous fuckups use a Golden Weapon, let alone take the only ones you have out to fight against people that aren't complete pushovers?

Fuck, even as the mildly competent Chiaki Matsuda personality and wielding the best Golden Weapon most suited for our use, we still needed backup from Kyouko and Tiny Pete to take down Kilgore.
Kilgore! A fucking mundane, using a Golden Weapon he had no synchronicity with!
And Murderface is supposed to fight against actual Magical Girls that have experience and competence with their Golden Weapons, who can cancel out Timestop?

All things considered, I think that's the best plan that Malal and QB could have implemented, given what they were working with.

>>42869620
Cry? this Mumi is completely and utterly bullshit, has Burgerbutt in her finger and Chiak-

Hmm, maybe the other fragments may appear?

>>42869620
Deploy a Midori Slap like we did against Kharn in Siberia, is about it.
Or tell the Three Stooges that right now is a good time for them to show Mami how her actions in previous timelines always ended up making things worse.

Wouldn't work. Kharn may already have had doubts about what she was doing, and may have been seeking an easy way out instead of being forced to face up to her fuck-ups.

Mami seems to be the type who is unshakeable once she's convinced that what she's doing is right.

>>42869620
Tell her that her death would cause tremendous damage for certain, while us destroying the world or whatever is only a possibility.

>Mami's Mammies Homu'd by Homillion Homus

>>42869664
since Mami apparently appeared via teleportation deepstrike, causing physical damage to the surrounding area, it could be safe to assume that some Homu's in the distance saw a dust cloud. then they say, what the fuck was that? do we have people over there? who did that?

really I would like nothing better than for midori and mami to be yelling at each other, weeping, only for it to be interrupted by 20 Homus hammering Midori from a sudden attack helicopter. and one of them would be loudly yelling the Ride of Valkyries theme. they would just play it over the sound system but that got damaged on the last attempted roof assault.

the other homus don't really like that one very much.

>>42869796
That's... Actually, I want this to happens

>>42869731
We need to find a way to shake her foundations, though.
Was it mentioned if Midori's ability to do a telepathic memory dump was something that Callidus could be trained to do, or something that she found she could do after her Soul Gem got remade and linked to Chiaki's?

Because, we've seen that memory dump given to Kyouko and to Yuu, meaning that potentially we could do it to Mami.

>>42869599
I like you.

>>42869796
So we try talking to Mami to give the Homus enough time?

>>42869817
6! 6 6! The number of the desperate reaching!

>>42869632
No it was have a failure on their hands BECAUSE of that plan.

>>42869859

That might work if we assume that Mami is not a crazy person.

Logic doesn't work so well with crazy people, or with people who have enough of an ego that enables them to power through the most well-constructed arguments.

>>42869921
The memorydump might still break her concentration. I have no idea how to exploit that opening though.

>>42868282 >>42868298 >>42868301 >>42868366

It's funny. You should be scared right now. You should be rendered speechless and motionless at the mere sight of Tomoe Mami leveling a weapon at you - a Golden Weapon, no less - with clear murder in her eyes and absolutely no hesitation in her heart. You should even be feeling that heavy, choking pressure that you've felt around Kharn, as well as your sempai - the sensation of feeling someone's pure, focused killing intent wash over you.

Instead, you feel nothing. Nothing but a cold, calm fury that you've never felt before. Not clouding your mind and perception like the usual stripe of anger does - but clearing it, focusing it, making you see just how ridiculous this situation is. How absolutely, hilariously unfair this situation has become.

"Midori-san." Mami says again, quieter this time, but no less firm. No less adamant. "Please. Move aside."

You look up at her, returning her steely glare - before tightening your grip on Chiaki. Pulling your younger, still-shellshocked sempai closer to you, shielding her with your body.

"...Why?" You ask the blonde Vindicare instead. Letting that one word - laced with your own accusatory condemnation - hang in the air between the both of you, in lieu of all the questions you desperately want to scream at her. In lieu of all the insults and the venom and the hate that you want to spit at her, not only for her bare-faced treachery but her hypocrisy, the latter exemplified by the godforsaken golden weapon she's aiming at you right now.

"WHY?"

Silence, before she lowers the rifle, its gaping mouth no longer aimed to spit death at you but still drawing your gaze to it, like a cobra about to strike but slithering away momentarily. You tear your eyes away from it to look back up at Mami, and you manage to see the hint of regret there as she finally replies.

"...Because I must."

[1/2]

>>42869888
Each time the memory wipes happened, the Murderface at the time was basically useless or would have gone rogue with a Golden Weapon.

Trying to keep those previous Murderfaces going would have just ended in failure, or a full-blown Witch Out.
Those memory wipes were necessary because Murderface was absolutely shit.

>>42870000

Then, she blurs, out of focus, and it's here that you feel something smash into your side, with enough force to send you flying - your suddenly-nerveless arms falling slack at the moment of impact, made to relinquish your grip on your sempai. The world tumbles around you in a sickening, bruising spin, before something cracks against the back of your head, turning the colors red and wet and hot, just like the pain blossoming inside your skull.

No--sempai--

You close your eyes when you finally land, hard enough that you hear the crucnh of your own impact before your weary, tired body actually registers the pain. And when it does, you hear yourself scream. Screaming - and cursing. Just like your sempai would.

As you open your eyes - a bloody film briefly covering your vision, blinked away in the migraine-bright light being reflected from the Golden Weapon in the blonde traitor's grasp - it's here that you feel something ensnaring you. Something long and pliant wrapping around your limbs, around your body, cinching tight and constricting. You try to struggle against it, to extract yourself from its embrace before it could completely wrap around you - but you're too slow, too stunned to do so. Only a few heartbeats and you're rendered completely immobile, and as you look down you realize just what had done it.

Ribbon. Yellow ribbon.

The kind that Mami was now pulling free from Wendy's unconscious form, from somewhere underneath her scarf.

Beside you - also immobilized in the same fashion, albeit in an almost halfhearted way, with her wrists tied behind her back - is your sempai. Still stunned to the point of helplessness, unable to move, unable to move or react with the same bloody-minded viciousness like your actual sempai would be doing right about now.

[2/3]

>>42870028

"Malal wasn't the only one who dreamed of things, you know." You hear Mami murmur, less to you and more to herself. "I did, too. Of things so horrible I thought I was...I was going crazy at first." She picks up something from the ground - the holstered Desert Eagle - before shaking her head and placing it in her inventory. "And I knew I had to do something. No matter what I felt about it, or what others may feel about me - I had to do something about it, something that only I could do. Something that I was uniquely placed and prepped to, even before this entire mess started."

She stands up, smiling wistfully at the torn yellow ribbon in her hand before letting it drift away in the wind.

"Sempai...sempai trusted you." You spit at her, struggling against your bonds again, trying to worry your arms free, or at least get them together. "She never wanted any of this. She just...nngh...she just wanted to do what was right. But people kept hiding things away from her and then THIS happened." There's a tiny bit of give, just enough for you to think you could do it if you keep her distracted enough.

"She's....sempai's not a bad person, Mami. You know this. It hasn't changed. She's still Chiaki. No one else - nothing else."

"I know." Comes the whispered reply. "I know, Midori."

There's a click as she stands in front of your stunned sempai, before leveling the golden rifle at her once more.

"It's why I have to do it now. Before she changes."

No. No, no, no, no...!

It can't end like this! It can't...! NO!

Honestly I feel that Tiny Pete can't take Mami, but will provide a distraction to eventually reach a much better solution.

>>42870240
>>42870272
We could memory dump everything Midori learned in Siberia with Malal and Godoka, as well as what Pinky revealed to us so far.
That Chiaki will be fighting Faust, that the Blessed Lady is already gone, and that this transformation evidently will help fight Faust later on.

You know, actual information that Mami likely doesn't have.

>>42870246
Because deep down, we are all masochists.

Ideally, if we can get Tiny Pete to stuff Mami inside of himself and teleport out, that solves the problem for now. Once we have Chiaki back, either Mami flips out and goes rogue (in which case that significantly reduces the chance of a multi-officio beatdown on Chiaki) or realises that her visions are just as fallible as Malal's.

No, it really wouldn't since all she has to do is tell the First that Homusatan has appeared and then every single Officio on the planet and the Moon will come crashing down on us.
>or realises that her visions are just as fallible as Malal's.

Your whole point is based on Mami being reasonable. Chances are the GW has completely fried her mind already.

Ahriman told us that there was a golden weapon that makes you believe you are on a crusade of justice. She told us this was the GoldenDE, ever thought it might the musket?

>>42870607

>>42870623

>>42870641
Reminder that getting shot in the face isn't a very good option either

>>42870692
Better than getting shot in the soul gem.

>>42870616
Ahriman also lied, saying that the Stooges had lied to us.
And even if the Golden Musket is the one that makes the wielder think they're on a grand quest, Midori's memory dumps are forceful punches straight to the mind, making it possible to get through GW induced monomania.

>>42870692
Better that Midori gets shot in the face than Chiaki
Midori's still operating by normal magical girl rules, and her soul gem's like, on her hand? I forget.
Chiaki's operating by weird-ass dream trip rules and her soul gem is currently in pieces

So where the fuck are the Clara dolls? You'd think they would show up in a life or death situation like this.

Or are you just making implications because you didn't bother to actually check your facts?

>>42870796
Love is tied up.

So what's the plan now?
Or are we just going to blunder from one mistake to another?

>>42871019
I think we will take the old and tried option of blundering,

>>42871019
Subdue Mami and pry the gun away from her.

is it time for new thread yet?

>>42871019

Have TP distract or possibly detain Mami
Wake Wendy up
Untie everyone
Stop Mami without killing her
Get out of the barrier
???
Profit

>>42871043
Except, Midori had an actual plan, and used her head back in Siberia. In fact, Midori kept making thought-out choices until chucklefucks thought that yelling "Get Fucked" wouldn't lead to a smackdown.

>>42871084
Stopping Mami and keeping her from attacking Chiaki again will require more than just telling her that Chiaki won't go full TTO; we need to show her information she likely doesn't know about the Blessed Lady, Faust, and Chiaki's transformation.

>>42870521
>version two

>>42871146
Well, yes, those actions were thought out by thinking about the people involved and how to best take advantage of their emotional weaknesses.

>>42871178

I agree, which is why I left "stopping" ambiguous. We could also show her the other Homus trying to kill her.

>>42871178

Though letting Mami know about it may let Faust know about it. Didn't Madokami let Midori know that Pinky should NOT know about that, since it would probably muck up Madokami's plans to fix everything involving the golden weapons?

>>42871107
Gotta admit, >>42871146 has a point. Hugging the survivalist and almost 100% predator version of shempai and then bitch slapping the person that was once her direct superior that reigned through prowess in battle and bed are not thought-out choices but rather emotionally driven spontaneous actions.

>>42871210
No, those actions involved having some goddamn guts and taking risks.

Instead of trying to coddle everyone and everything Chiaki cares about like some sort of hive-brained babysitter.

>>42870056
>[X]Summon Tiny Pete.
When has summoning Tiny Pete ever been a bad thing?

[X]Summon Tiny Pete.
We should have hit that button as soon as we heard "She's here!" but you know, exposition.

>>42871369
How about when Chiaki and Midori finally fucked? I don't think Tiny Pete would help there.

>>42871398
Oh, how naive you are
just imagine the safety you'd feel

>Tiny Pete stands next to the bed, wearing a tiny baseball hat and waving a tiny flag, both have the warmaster emblem on it.

>>42871247
We did have things thought out for them, though.

I mean, we were told about the attunement of Midori's Soul Gem being able to calm down the Armored Fragment, and that's what we used to make her calm enough that Midori could hug her and have her calm down enough to recognize the other Fragments we had with us as allies rather than enemies.

As for Kharn, we did use our knowledge to analyze the situation and tell Kharn the exact things that would make her stop.

So, they were more thought out than on-the-spot emotion-driven actions that you make them out to have been.

>>42870056
[x] summon tiny pete

I feel like this will also help attract the other Homus. one mysterious deep strike can just be a coincidence, but two is definite enemy action.

>>42871398

>Misaka decides to surprise Chiaki
>deep strikes in on Chiaki deep in Midori

>>42871369
>When has summoning Tiny Pete ever been a bad thing?
In the Siberia Barrier, every now and then people would scream to summon Tiny Pete, and every one else would tell them how stupid they were to summon him when the Ribbon Homu was still on the loose.

And look! By talking down Pinky, the Armored Fragment, and Kharn, instead of summoning Tiny Pete to fight them, we got them all as allies instead of losing them in a fight.

>>42871238
What Godoka doesn't want Pinky to know is that she's still there and that the Golden Weapons were actually her idea, not Faust's.

We could leave that out of the memory dump, and still keep "Godoka is gone, only Faust is left, the Blessed Lady needs to be killed and Pinky herself thinks that the current Chiaki has a better chance now".

>>42871475
In retrospect I forgot those small details because I had to read through them instead of participate and upon remembrance they slip me by.

They were pretty risky actions though, and I guess that's where I really want to get

>>42871517
Has Misaka received "the talk" yet?

>>42871496
>I feel like this will also help attract the other Homus
So you WANT the Homura's who want to kill Chiaki to come here?
It's not like they're going to come here with knives and pistols you know, but rocket launchers and heavy machine guns. And at least one of them probably has a Howitzer stashed away somewhere.

Do we have a higher bump limit than we used to?

I feel like we should maybe point out that, by trying to kill Chiaki, Mami is creating the possibility for Chiaki to become the evil overlord that she's trying to prevent.

>>42870056
>> [x] pulse wendy

>>42871627
They might decide Mami is the bigger threat.

Maybe. I admit that's VERY questionable.

>>42871647
I think Hiro bumped it to 500.

I love our new overlords.

>>42871607

I'd imagine so, with how she has spent time with Souji and pregnant Kharn.

>They were pretty risky actions though
They were the actions that had the highest chance of success, because the alternatives were to fight it out when we had a big fight looming on the horizon, we couldn't actually kill the Armored Fragment because that would fuck up everything and make recovery impossible, and fighting Kharn would have meant that we would have been in even worse shape to fight Ribbon-Homu.

Risky, but at least they were thought out and designed to attack the weaknesses of the opponents we were facing.

You can...you can reach the teleport beacon. It'll take some doing, and you need a bit more time for it to take, but...you can do it. You just need to keep her occupied until you do, something you're not sure you could pull off. Not against someone as determined as her. As completely convinced of what she was doing as her.

Still, you have to try. Otherwise--

"MAMI-SAN!" You scream at her, just as you see her finger tighten on the trigger. "Right now - right now you think you have everything figured out, don't you? Right now you think you have an idea of what's going on and what's going to happen, right?!"

Silence, but the miniscule tensing of her already stiff shoulders tells you you've struck a nerve, and you take that as a cue to press on. Throwing all caution to the wind, just to delay her for a few moments longer.

"But you're wrong!" Just a bit farther, just a bit more... "You don't even have the faintest fucking idea! None!" That gets her attention, her head turning the slightest bit to look at you. "You're just another chesspiece thrown on the board - just like Miss Kharn! JUST LIKE MISS MALAL!"

Click. You let out an involuntary sigh of relief as you finally manage to bring your hands together, your numb fingers finding the screen of the bulky teleport beacon and depressing it. Even without seeing its screen, you know that it's already working its magic - already you can taste the developing ozone-scent of teleportation, even in this unnatural air. Now it's only a few more seconds until--

"What did you do?" Mami turns away from your catatonic sempai, glaring daggers at you. Piercing you to the core. "Midori-san, what in the world did you--"

Her words are lost as a clap of thunder - immediately followed by an explosion of white, caustic light - erupts mere feet away from you, forcing you to avert your eyes, and for Mami to shield hers.

[1/2]

>>42871777

Immediately you feel and hear something immeasurably heavy slam into the ground, and you can't help but smile - even through the pain - at the sound of servo joints whirring and snarling into life.

At the sound of having bought yourself - and your sempai - just a bit more time.

[TELEPORTATION COMPLETE] The giant from within the resultant dust cloud from the violent teleportation intones. The crimson eyeslits of its tusked, elephantine helm burning hellfire as it strides forward, the skulls impaled on its spiked shoulder racks clattering with every step.

"..." And again, Mami is completely silent at this, meeting the new combatant with nothing short of saintly patience. No curses, no remarks of grudging admiration - just a simple shake of her head, a disappointed glance at you, before levelling the golden rifle at your sempai's huge, hulking robot friend.

She pulls the trigger, and the sight that followed - the deafening, horrifying violence of it - is something that you'll never forget for the rest of your life.

What spits from the golden rifle's barrel isn't just some sort of extra-powerful round that could blast out people's insides if they so much as get caught in the recoil - but a thick, searing beam of pure, roiling unlight.

It's what smashes against Tiny Pete's breastplate, that dented, scarred hull of steel and ceramite that had withstood more than enough firepower to start and end wars. It's what punches through that very same breastplate, then ripping through the other layers of subdermal armor underneath, and then tearing through the machinery within.

It's what cores the Terminator right through, boring a hole through the once-invincible iron giant that had served as your sempai's comrade for as long as you knew it.

If an eldritch abomination pops out and starts tearing the world apart, then maybe it's a good idea to stop killing your rival and team up against the much bigger threat.

Obviously I don't know if Mami COUNTS as such but therein lies the idea.

NO

>>42871813

The collossal hammer that it was about to wield dropping from its fingers, thudding hard on the hard-packed dirt floor - before the rest of its lifeless, smoking corpse joins it a moment later, in another earth-shaking collapse.

No...that's...even Tiny Pete...?

"...That was unnecessary." Mami murmurs, her voice calm, bereft of emotion. Swiveling the still-smoking barrel of the golden rifle to point at you. "Now look what happened, Midori. Look what you made me do."

How do you react?

[]Beg for mercy.
[]Call her a coward and a traitor.
[]Try to get your sempai to snap out of it.
[]Pray.
