Chapter Text

When Tsukiyuki Miyako received an order from the new GSC President, for her squad to attend a briefing regarding a new mission for them to do. She was quite stunned upon hearing this info, as she then informed her squad mates about this information to them.

Her “point woman” Sorai Saki, was surprised as much as she was upon hearing this, before being elated at receiving yet another order from the president herself personally to them again. As she then pondered at what mission they will be briefed on personally by the president herself.

The squad's operator and artillery user Kazekura Moe, was immediately elated upon hearing this. As she hoped that the mission would let her personally involve or bring the use of high explosive weapons, she then drooled at thought of unleashing massive firepower at the enemies that could be there during the mission.

Finally, the sniper of the squad Kasumizawa Miyu, simply trembled once she heard of this. She hoped that the mission would not be a repeat of the “Correction Bureau Incident”, as she didn't want to go through something like that all over again.

Miyako sighed, she couldn't blame her for that reaction. She remembered the last order the late GSC President had given to them along with seven other squads, before her disappearance she had informed them that a prison break was about to occur at the Correction Bureau in three days. She had instructed them to immediately intervene the moment the prison break was confirmed to have happened.

Miyako was dumbfounded upon receiving this order, she could guess that the other seven squads had the same feeling, as they wondered how the president knew this would happen, and why they had to wait in three days time to intervene. Nevertheless, they had decided to follow this order to the tee and waited. Three days later, they've received word that a prison break was currently ongoing happening at the Correction Bureau right now, that involved the notorious Seven Prisoners attempting to escape.

Immediately, all eight squads of SRT Special Academy students that had received this order soon spring into action, as they were then joined along with a battalion of Valkyrie Police Academy's tactical unit, belonging to the Public Peace Bureau, that being the Special Assault Tactical Operations (SATO), that were also deployed to the Correction Bureau in order to prevent the Seven Prisoners from escaping in the first place.

Once they all had arrived, they're then informed of the situation by the onsite guards. Apparently the Seven Prisoners had decided to separate into two groups in order to escape, the first group had four out of the Seven Prisoners that included the infamous “Five Dust Macaque” that was involved in drug embezzlement. The last group only had four as well, one of them was confirmed to be the mastermind behind the prison break. Despite the last group only having three out of the Seven Prisoners, they are not to be underestimated at all. Why is that you may ask? Because they have the infamous “Fox of Calamity”, and “Legendary Sukeban”, along with the notorious “Phantom Thief of Affection” as well. Because of this, it was decided that they would also split into two groups as well. The eight squads would split into four squads, those four squads would be now in charge of the five hundred SATO members with them now, in each of their respective group.

The two groups soon split off and headed to were there respective targets were at in the Correction Bureau. She remembered how honored she felt when none other than Fox Squad (the SRT squad that had personally captured the “Fox of Calamity” in the first place on their own.) was chosen to lead their entire group, as they then lead us to recapture the three out of the Seven Prisoners along with to capture the mastermind behind this prison break as well.

She shuddered, as she then remembered the chaos and carnage that insued, the moment they had come into contact with the three prisoners along with the mastermind as well. As they all began the recontainment process of the three prisoners.

*BUUUAAAAARRRRR*

*DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR *

*DAR-DAR-DAR*-*DAR-DAR-DAR*-*DAR-DAR-DAR*-*DAR-DAR-DAR*-*DAR-DAR-DAR*-*DAR-DAR-DAR*

A cacophony of bullets and explosions reverberated throughout the prison block. (Thankfully, this was one of the few prison blocks that currently did not contained any prisoners at the moment, luckily enough.) As she and her squad took cover, as a hail of bullets rained down on them. Their group had finally come into contact with the three prisoners, and are now currently engaging them. The “Fox of Calamity” was firing her bolt action rifle at them, the “Legendary Sukeban” was hip firing a M2 heavy machine gun at them, and finally the “Phantom Thief of Affection” was throwing around explosive calling cards everywhere at them while she also shooting at them with her cane gun.

She then looked at Saki, as she tapped her gun in front of her then pointed to the three prisoners. Her eyes widen as she recognized what the gesture had meant, she then nodded to her.

Miyako then raised her suppressed Suomi KP/-31, as she saw Saki raised her Lahti-Saloranta LS/26 light machine gun as well.

"RABBIT 2, on my mark!" She yelled, as she and Saki aimed their guns at the three prisoners.

"Engage targets now!" She ordered, firing their guns at them. As they also soon joined up with the cacophony of bullets and explosions reverberated through out the empty prison block.

While she fired her gun, she also heard the various panicked yelling coming from the SATO units around her and on the radio.

"All units proceed with caution, I say again all units proceed with caution. Over."

"ENGAGE! ENGAGE! OPEN FIRE!!!"

"Suppressive fire, damn it! Suppressive fire! Keep firing at them and pin them down now!!"

"HOW THE FUCK DO THEY HAVE THEIR WEAPONS ALREADY?!?!"

"JUST KEEP SHOOTING DAMN IT! JUST KEEP–" *DAR-CHAK*- "AAAKH!"

"NAW!! NANAMI!!! Ye bitch! Ye're next ye cunt!! Ye fockin' hear me! Ye're NEXT!!!"

"Oh god! They just took out eighty of us already!"

"Fire everything we got!!! All of our firepower concentrated at them! All at once!!!"

She then heard more explosions, she as felt them reverberated through out the prison block, as she saw Saki going back into cover.

"Reloading!" Saki yelled, as she reloaded her light machine gun, while she continued firing at the three prisoners. As she was firing her submachine gun, her gaze briefly glanced at the SATO units positions.

Even as she watched the three prisoners knocking out five SATO members each time, ten more soon appeared as they then took their place. The SATO units firmly stood their ground, keeping their line formation completely intact, as some of the high ranking SATO members in their units soon bark out orders to the remaining members to begin their advance forward against the three prisoners to not give them anymore ground to push them back.

"Hold the line! Don't break formation, I say again don't break formation!! That's an order!!"

"Attention all units!! Begin advance forward towards them! Prepare to encircle the prisoners at once!"

"Surround those bastards, god damnit!! Don't give them a chance to escape!"

"C'mon lasses! Gie thaim steel lasses! Gie thaim steel!! Lett 'em fockin' hae it noo!! Keep pushin' them back!! Surroun' thae bloody fookin' wankers noo!!!"

The SATO units then began to push forward, the ones at the back were firing their M16A4 rifles, M4A1 carbines and MP5A3 submachine guns at the three prisoners, while those that at the front pushed forward while holding their riot shields tightly, as they began the encirclement of the three prisoners. Unfortunately, they've lost eighty more members in the process, as a result of them trying to surround the three prisoners. Their numbers slowly begin to dwindle even more from their prolonged fight against the three prisoners. She then emptied out her drum magazine, as she then quickly went back into cover.

"Reloading!" She yelled, as she grabbed a spare drum mag from her ammo pouch to reloaded her gun with. As Saki soon got out of cover, and fired her light machine gun at the three prisoners.

She then heard radio chatter coming from the other three squads from her radio, as they began to discussed on what to do next in this situation.

"This is FOX 1 to all squads, remain at your positions, keep concentrating your fire at them. Let the SATO units softened them up for us to finish them off. Over."

"This is RHINO 1. Copy that FOX 1. Over and out."

"This is REINDEER 1. Roger that FOX 1, letting the Valkyrie units take the heavy blow for us. Over and out."

She as reloaded her gun, she heard her other two squad mates muttered to themselves. As another explosion reverberated through out the prison block.

"Ugh... It's moments like these, I wished they had allowed me to bring in some explosives for this exact occasion."

"E-Eek?! Why is this happening?! What was the president thinking bringing first years like us for a mission like this!?"

She sighed, as she to wondered why the president herself wanted first years like them to participate in this mission to begin with.

Immediately, she then heard radio chatter coming from the SATO members as well. Meanwhile, she saw Saki continued firing her light machine gun at the three prisoners.

"HEY!!! We're all on the same frequency as you are right now!! You assholes!!!"

"Shit! We got two hundred and twenty officers unconscious right now!! Permission to activate “Protocol Gamma” right now, Lieutenant? Over."

"Permission granted, Sergeant. Since we're currently engaging with the Seven Prisoners, it's completely reasonable to use that for this occasion. Prepare to take those bastards down with you. Godspeed Sergeant. Over and out."

Miyako had heard about the Special Assault Tactical Operations (SATO) unit, they're Valkyrie Police Academy's best tactical unit they can offer. While she still consider them inferior compared to SRT Special Academy, she could admire their tenacity to complete their mission no matter what, even with the odds stacked against them. Compared to the other units that Valkyrie Police Academy has to offer, SATO had proven themselves to be above them in terms of professionalism and efficiency in combat engagements.

"FOR VALKYRIE POLICE ACADEMY!!!"

*BOOM*

‘They were also completely batshit insane! When given the opportunity and are truly desperate enough!’ She thought, as she saw the SATO members literally strap explosives on to themselves. Before they proceeded to charge at the stunned three prisoners, and then blow themselves up along with said prisoners. The constant explosions on their receiving end at point blank range, evidently wearing them out.

"Oh come on! Why are they allowed to use explosives, but not me?! We've SRT for a reason! We should be the only ones to have that much firepower in the first place not them!"

She heard Moe yelled in frustration, as she sighed at her antics. As she and Saki, the other three squads, and especially the SATO units continued to keep firing at the three prisoners.

She then spotted who was most definitely the mastermind who had orchestrated the prison break, attempting to flee away from them.

"This is RABBIT 1 to all units, I've spotted the mastermind behind the prison break attempting to flee. Permission to go after and capture her? Over." She said, as she radio in this piece of information.

"This is FOX 1 to RABBIT 1, permission granted. We'll provide covering fire for your squad to make the three prisoners don't attempted to block your path. Capture her and Godspeed to you all. Over and out."

She then heard the leader of Fox Squad replied, as she then turned to look at her stunned squad mates who have overheard everything.

"Rabbit Squad, prepare to move out!" She yelled, as they soon got out of cover and headed straight towards where the mastermind was running away from.

*DAR*

The Fox of Calamity had then noticed them heading straight towards the direction where the mastermind was running away, and promptly fired her at them. The bullet hitting her directly at the chest, as she then stop and gasped at the sudden impact and pain. Her squad mates had stopped as well, their guns soon trained on the one who shot her.

"Fufu~ Where do you think you're going–" *DAR-CHAK*- "Uagh!"

Suddenly, she was then shot at as well. She then turned to look at who had shot her.

"You..." She hissed, as she then recognized who had shot her. The very same person who had incarcerated her in the first place.

"We meet again, Fox of Calamity." The leader of Fox Squad said, as she aimed her HK416 D10RS rifle at her.

"Unfortunately, you've to go through us first before you can get a chance to fight against them." She said, as the rest of Fox Squad soon appeared by their leader's side, their guns trained at her.

"Go!" She yelled, as she turned towards RABBIT Squad. "We'll hold her off! Go and capture the mastermind now before she escapes!" She yelled, before someone then ran passed her.

"AYE!"

A SATO member yelled, as she suddenly appeared from behind Fox Squad and ran passed them, she charged towards the Fox of Calamity with a explosive belt attached to her, a detonator in her hand.

"D'YE MIND O' ME YE CUNT!!" She yelled, as she then tackled the Fox of Calamity to the ground, she then lifted up the detonator in her hand above her head.

"THIS. WAN'S. FER. NANAMI!!! YE. BITCH!!!!"

*CLICK*

*BOOM*

"AAAKH!"

She then clasped the detonator in her hand, as the explosive belt then promptly exploded. While the Fox of Calamity yelled in pain at the explosion that engulfed her. Suddenly, three more SATO members also wearing explosive belt soon appeared, as they then swarmed her.

"FOR VALKYRIE POLICE ACADEMY!!!"

*BOOM*

"FOR VALKYRIE POLICE ACADEMY!!!"

*BOOM*

"FOR VALKYRIE POLICE ACADEMY!!!"

*BOOM*

The Fox of Calamity was then engulfed by even more explosions. With RABBIT Squad taking this as their moment to passed by the stunned prisoner, and headed straight towards where the mastermind was last seen running away from.

They soon spotted the mastermind up ahead, as they steeled themselves for the fight against her. Miyako soon looked back at her squad mates.

"Rabbit Squad, prepare to engage the target! Once target has successfully been knocked out, prepare to capture her!" She yelled, as they ready their guns for the fight ahead of them. As she then said one last piece of encouragement for them.

“The Rabbits have come to graze the grass.”

After a fierce shootout that ensued, they had successfully captured the mastermind. Upon returning to the prison block, they found that out of the five hundred SATO units that were with them at the start. There's now only seventy left that were still standing firing their guns at the three prisoners, the rest were on the floor completely unconscious, all of them only sustained minor injuries on their bodies. Thankfully, all of the other three squads were still standing as well, also firing their guns at the three prisoners.

They then noticed how worn out the three prisoners were, most likely from the amount of explosives that detonated at point blank range in front of them. Seeing the opportunity, they raised their guns at the three prisoners. What happened next soon catapulted their squad status as the only first years in SRT history that have dealt the final blow that knocked three out of the Seven Prisoners unconscious. For the next three weeks, the other first year students looked at them in awe and respect at their status. Which now lead to the present day, as they had received an order from the new GSC President regarding a mission for them to execute.

Eventually, they had finally arrived at their destination, SCHALE headquarters, where the briefing for their mission is located at. Thankfully, the president had informed them where the briefing will be held at, as they then headed straight towards SCHALE's theater room.

Upon entering the theater room, they see in front of them were rows of seats arranged exactly like what you would expect with the name of the room they had just entered in. To their right was the new GSC President at the very end of the room, standing behind the podium with a large screen behind her, in front of them, there were three people currently seated already. Her eyes widen, as she soon recognized who they were.

The first one is the leader of Millennium's Special Operations Forces (SOF) team, Cleaning&Clearing (C&C) club. Mikamo Neru, codename "Double O", she was a force to be reckoned with and is known to be the strongest agent that Millennium has to offer with a 100 percent success rate in winning combat engagements. For this reason, she earned the codename "Double O" that is considered a symbol of victory by those in the industry.

The second one is the field captain of the Prefect Team. Shiromi Iori, she's known to punish any and all rule-breakers with overwhelming force once she finds them. She's also efficient and formidable in combat, ruthlessly hunting down her target with precision.

The last one was an ~~old man~~ one of the advisors of SCHALE, he was also one of the two adults that brought back the late GSC President's body in a coffin.

All three of them were sitting here right now, she figured the president would soon explain why these three were present for this briefing right now.

She and her squad mates soon took their seats and sat down behind three people in front of them, as the president cleared her throat and spoke,

"Thank you all for being here today, I understand that some of you are currently wondering what this briefing is for right now." She begins, as she then paid attention to her explanation.

"The reason being I would like to hold the first ever joint operation between SCHALE and SRT Special Academy for this mission." She begins, as her eyes widen at this piece of information.

"Like I just said, this mission would be a joint operation between SCHALE's on duty students and SRT Special Academy students." She reiterated, as she heard the president soon explained the reason.

"The reason this joint operation exist to begin with will now be explained. Around thirty minutes ago, Valkyrie Police Academy had lost all communications with the Special Assault Tactical Operations (SATO) units guarding the morgue where the late GSC President's body is currently located at." She said, as her eyes widen even further.

"The fact that they've not responding at all, both on official channels and from their smartphones. Implies, that their communications were most likely sabotaged by an unknown party." She added, as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Because of that, I have made the decision to hold this joint operation between SCHALE and SRT Special Academy to intervene and investigate this matter entirely as a result. With Valkyrie Police Academy's permission of course." She finishes, as she then saw Neru rasing her hand up.

"Yes?" She said, as she looked at her.

"So what exactly is the main goal of the mission and our orders?" She asked, as the president soon nodded at her.

"As I have just said, this mission main goal is to investigate the reason behind the lost of communications from the SATO unit." She begins, as she adjusted her glasses.

"Your first order is figure out who had sabotage the communications in the first place, and identify whether or not if it was an unknown party that had been the cause of all of this." She said.

"In the event that it was an unknown party that was responsible for sabotaging the communications. Then your second order is to secure the late GSC President's body immediately once confirmed to be the case." She finishes, before someone else raised their hand up.

"Who will be the leader in charge of this investigation and will be leading us?" Iori asked, as she crossed her arms.

"That would be one of the advisors of SCHALE, who is seated there with you all right now." She replied, as she pointed at the man seated with them.

"Wait! Hold on!" Saki suddenly yelled, as she stood up. "Your telling me that this man will be the one leading all of us?" She asked, as she gestured to him.

The president sighed. "I understand that you're concerned about him considering his... lack of halo, but despite this he will still be leading everyone here." She said.

"As the late president herself said in her final recording, the advisors of SCHALE have full authority to give out any orders to all SRT students they see fit, and can personally lead the squad themselves if necessary." She said, as she also pointed at the shotgun he had with him.

"He is also armed as well." She added, though that still didn't inspire any confidence in Miyako at the fact that someone without a halo would be the one in charge of them.

"I'll now be explaining the team that will head towards the morgue to investigate and those that will stay here to be mission control." The president said, as everyone paid close attention again.

"Tsukiyuki Miyako, Sorai Saki, Kasumizawa Miyu, Mikamo Neru and Shiromi Iori will be the team to investigate the morgue, with Garcia-Sensei as the main leader of their team. Everyone will be transported there via helicopter." She begins. "Meanwhile, myself and Kazekura Moe will be in charge of mission control for all of you." She finishes, as everyone nodded at her words.

She then heard Moe sighed, as she muttered about how disappointed she was at the fact, she won't be using or have a chance to use her explosives again.

She sighed at her antics, as the president then cleared her throat and spoke,

"Now before I end this briefing, does anyone want to ask anymore questions?" She asked, looking at them. Once she got no response, she spoke again. "Then I declare this briefing over now. Please follow me now to gather your equipment you'll be needing for this mission." She said, as she left the podium and headed to the door to leave. Everyone else soon got up from their seats, and followed her to where gather the equipment their need for this mission.

Eventually, they had arrived at where their equipment was at that they'll need. The president then lifted up a body-worn camera for them along with an earpiece comms.

"These body-worn cameras you'll need for this mission." She said, as she then explained. "Please, wear this at all times, so that us from mission control to see what is happening at all times." She explained to them.

"Also it'll always be recording at all times once you put this on. The reason being to give the footage from the body cam to the Administrative Commission to explain why I authorized this mission to begin with, and will also be given to Valkyrie Police Academy for them to analyze it, and to give possible feedback on what to do next time if something like this happens again." She added, as she then handed the equipment over to them.

After putting on the body-worn cameras, they then made their way to SCHALE's helipad with helicopter already there waiting for them. The president turned to look at them one last time before they leave.

"The coordinates to the morgue have already been given to the automated helicopter. Once you all arrived at the destination you'll know what to do next." She said, as she then turned around and left with Moe following behind her, as they headed towards the control room where they'll be at to communicate with them.

They all got on the helicopter, as it began to take off. As they began to head to the morgue.

While on route they then heard white noise from their earpieces for a brief second before it was then replaced by a voice.

"Testing... Testing... One... Two... Three. Is this thing working right now?" Moe said, as she soon replied back to her.

"We hear you loud and clear, RABBIT 3." She replied, as she heard her sighed from the earpiece.

"Okay good, you hear that president it works." She said, as the president soon spoke herself.

"Affirmative, once you all have reached your destination. You'll know what to do." She said, as they then prepared themselves for what they might encounter during the mission.

Eventually, they had arrived at the morgue, as the helicopter soon descended to the ground. Hovering a few meters off the ground, as they then jump off from the helicopter, once they all had fully left, it then took off and headed back towards SCHALE headquarters.

It had officially been one hour now since communications from SATO had been lost, as they then made their way to the entrance of the morgue.

It didn't take long for any of them to noticed a unusually amount of white box trucks parked outside the morgue, before they then spotted something that made them freeze on the spot.

There was a trail of blood.

To be exact there was a trail of blood that appeared to have originated from the back door of all the box trucks that lead directly to the entrance of the morgue. Miyako immediately soon spoke with mission control, as she and everyone else looked at each other in concern about this.

"This is RABBIT 1 to mission control come in, are you seeing this right now?" She asked, as she waited for a response.

".... Yes, we do in fact see it clearly RABBIT 1, ... geez who or what could have done this." Moe nervously said.

"It appears there's now a high chance an unknown party is indeed involved in this situation from the looks of it." She said.

"That could indeed be the case RABBIT 1, proceed with caution then once you're inside the morgue." The president said, as she nodded.

"Roger that, will proceed with caution." She replied, as they then made their way to the entrance of the morgue slowly this time.

They finally reached the entrance doors to the morgue, as she then turned to look at Saki and Miyu.

"RABBIT 2 on the left, RABBIT 4 with me to the right. Prepare to stack up on each side of the doorway." She ordered, as they soon got into position. The other three with them standing on the steps to the entrance of the morgue.

"On my mark." She said, as they ready their guns.

"Three..."

"Two..."

"One..."

"Breaching doors now!"

*BRAAK*

She and Saki violently kicked the entrance doors open, as she, Miyu and Saki soon burst inside their guns drawn at any potential enemies, with the other three soon joining them inside as well. With the adult now taking lead, as he steps in front of them. As they all observe their surroundings.

But nothing could have prepared them for what they saw next.

They were in a blood stained corridor leading to a pair of double doors that were covered bloody handprints in front of them to the waiting room up ahead.

But that wasn't the only thing that caught their eyes. Because in the very middle of the corridor was...

A naked girl completely covered in blood.

Her halo was cracked, glitching out of control and completely blood red. (Which should be impossible, every single halo has always been a simple white ring, that's how it's always been. There can never be anymore detailed it could get than that. Such a halo that could have more detail compared to a simple white ring doesn't even exist at all to begin with. Which is why is couldn't believe what she was seeing right now.)

She was surrounded by around ten other dead bodies like her that were most likely the reason, why the corridor was stained with blood in the first place.

She hunched over another body—a single dead SATO member beneath her.

What she saw transpired next, will be forever burned into her memory of the rest of her life.

The girl was repeatedly stabbing the dead body's torso with a knife that was also covered in blood. The sound of the knife slicing and stabbing the body reverberated through out the corridor.

She gasped at the sight, as she also heard everyone but the adult gave a horrified gasps as well.

Suddenly, she snapped to look at their direction. As if it was them gasping that got her to hear them, and not them breaching the doors just now. Her bloodshot eyes widen upon seeing them, a shaky grin appeared on her face.

"CHAOS REIGNS!"

She screamed at them, as she then began to charge towards them with the knife in her hand. Before she could even have the chance to fire her gun. The adult immediately raised his shotgun at the girl charging towards them, aimed down the sights, and fired.

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

The blast reverberated throughout the corridor, to her and everyone else horror instead of simply knocking her unconscious. She had instead exploded, as she then promptly dropped the knife from her hand.

The shotgun’s spray tearing her in half from the waist up. Gore flew in all directions, bits of flesh splattering across the ground. The top half of her flung backward, as she screamed out in absolute agony. She writhed on the floor, shrieking as blood pooled beneath her, before she coughed violently, blood gushing from her mouth. Then her halo completely shattered like glass and disappeared, as she then went still, dead. The bottom half unceremoniously slumped over to the floor in front of them, intestines spilled out and muscles continued twitching.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

The adult then racked another shell for his shotgun, while Miyu immediately hunched over to the wall and then...

"HLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH."

She retched through out the corridor, her vomit hitting both the wall and the floor in front of her. With everyone but the adult (said adult went to examine the dead SATO member body in the middle of the corridor) backing away from her, as she continued retching. As the vomit pile slowly began to turn into a small puddle, luckily the vomit didn't reached Miyu's feet.

Eventually, she stopped retching, as she collapsed on to an area a part of the floor not covered in blood. After clearing any vomit left from her mouth with some tissue paper she had on her, she then went into a fetal position.

She absolutely couldn't blame her for that reaction, because what the hell just happened just now. How... How is that possible, the fact they had managed to kill someone with a halo like that so easily, that shouldn't be possible at all.

"Ugh... I'm going to be sick. That's disgusting." Moe gagged out, probably at the sight of the dead body the adult had just killed just now.

Speaking of the adult, after he examined the dead SATO member, he then converse with the president about what he just shot at just now, along with other things. Which to explain what she felt upon hearing their entire conversation was...

"Uh? Hello?! Eternal Order of the Second Death? Thrall? What the heck are two talking about right now!?" Saki yelled in confusion and frustration.

... exactly like that. ‘Thank you, Saki.’ She thought, as she soon listened to the adult's short explanation.

Her blood ran cold, as he explained to them that this cult was responsible for the late GSC President's death. Along with horrifying realization that the reason their here in the first place was to find the president's body, and take it to who knows where, but as he had just said to them it can't be for any good reason at all.

"... Disgusting." Iori spat out, as she completely agreed with her on that remark.

"Alright, if that's the case..." Neru said, as she clutched her pair of MPX submachine guns tightly. "...what's the status of the mission right now?" She asked.

"The mission is still the same, we have now figured out who sabotage the communications and also have confirmation that it was an unknown party that did all of this." Rin replied.

"If they're in fact after the president's body, then it's immediately top priority to secure the late GSC President's body as soon as possible, before they make a run for it with her body along with them as well." She said.

"Roger that Miss President, we'll now be headed on route towards the body storage where the late GSC President's body is located at to secure her." Miyako said, as she looked at everyone.

"Attention!" She ordered, as Saki and Miyu (with Miyu immediately getting of the floor soon after hearing her order) soon stand at attention in front of her.

"We've got confirmed hostiles forces present inside the morgue." She begins, as she stared at them.

"RABBIT 2, RABBIT 4 and everyone else have all your weapons at the ready." She said, as she ready her suppressed submachine gun.

"Once we've entered the waiting room, prepare yourselves for combat engagements against the enemy." She finishes, as she looked at the adult.

"Sensei." She said, as she stared at him.

"Please, lead the way." She said, as she then gestured towards him to open the double doors that lead to the waiting room for them.

He nodded at her gesture, as he made his way towards the double doors. With them following behind him, they passed by the dead SATO member in the middle of the corridor, her M4A1 carbine laid next to her corpse, the magazine separated from the gun appeared to be empty, that along with thirty bullet casings she could count that litter the floor, indicating she ran out of ammo, and tried to reload her weapon before being overwhelmed. They soon arrived at the door, as they ready their guns, with the adult opening the doors to the waiting room.

Upon opening the doors, the air from inside immediately hit them, as almost all of them gagged at the foul air. That was filled with the stench of rot and of someone that had not taken a bath in months that they can smell. Then her eyes widen in horror, as she now see's what was behind the doors to the waiting room.

Blood.

Blood covered almost the entire room, bodies, piles of bodies strewn across the whole room. Most of them were thralls, although she could make out a few unidentified bodies wearing red robes.

Multiple dead SATO members were also strewn across the room, their M4A1 carbines and MP5A5 submachine guns laid on the floor next to their corpses.

With the high amount of bodies in this room along with a lot of bullets casings that litter the floor, it was clear the SATO members stationed here had stood their ground, and fought to the bitter end before being completely overwhelmed.

Then as they walked in. Suddenly, four thralls in one of the piles, then stood up and turned to look at their direction, they appeared to have played dead to trick people from the looks of it.

This time she didn't freeze, as she soon barked orders to everyone.

"Contact! Engage targets now!" She ordered, as they aimed their guns at them.

"CHAOS REIGNS!"

They all screamed at them, as they all charge towards them while holding blood covered scissors in their hands. Immediately, she then took aim and fired her gun, with everyone else following soon after.

*PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW*

*DAR-DAR-DAR*

*DAR*

*DOR-DOR-DOR-DOR*-*DOR-DOR-DOR-DOR*

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

Their bullets soon penetrated the thralls, as she winced at the sound of their halos shattering, indicating they were able to kill all of them. As their bodies fell to the ground, now joining the piles of corpses for real this time.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

*CLACK-SCHLIK*

The adult racked another shell for his shotgun, while Miyu and Iori ejected a spent casing from their respective bolt action rifle.

Despite dealing with the threats, they continued to cautiously move forward with their guns still drawn. As they scanned the bodies on the ground, making sure they're not playing dead.

They now begin to traverse the blood stained corridor leading to the body storage. As they walked through the multiple dead SATO members that were strewn across the corridor, their M4A1 carbines laid next to them, along with the now destroyed makeshift barriers that appeared to have been hastily made with wooden chairs and tables that were pile together in certain sections of the corridor. The air still foul with the stench of rot.

Piles of dead thralls also strewn across the corridor, along with more unidentified bodies wearing red robes.

Suddenly, a thrall along with someone wearing a red robe appeared up ahead of the corridor in front of them.

"Contacts up ahead! Engage them now!" She ordered, as they aimed their guns at them.

They then charge towards them as they screamed. Her eyes widen in horror at the person wearing a red robe, soon pulled down their hood, revealing their face to them.

Emerging from it's hood was a head that can only be described as horrifically grotesque in nature, with it's head completely defying the laws of physics: large, pink, and fleshy. It's arms soon stretch abnormally long in an attempted to grab them.

"CHAOS REIGNS!"

"THE SECOND DEATH. THE SECOND DEATH. THE SECOND DEATH."

*PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW*

*DAR-DAR-DAR*

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

The thrall soon dropped dead, with her halo shattering soon afterwards. But to her horror, that thing even after getting blasted directly straight towards it's torso, from the shotgun the adult held in his hands. Even as it had collapsed to the ground, it still continued to crawl towards them.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

The adult quickly racked another shell for his shotgun, immediately took aim at it again, and fired.

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

This time the blast had finally killed it off, as it's head had completely exploded into a shower of gore. Blood and brain matter splattered across the floor. It then collapse to the ground, as it now laid dead on the floor. The adult then racked another shell for his shotgun.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

Thankfully, that thing was still far away enough that it couldn't even grab them with it's long arms.

Her eyes widen upon realizing one crucial detail regarding that thing, it didn't have a halo.

"... Okay, What the FUCK was that thing?!" Moe yelled, as she and everyone else turned to look at the adult for an explanation.

"I... would also like to know exactly that thing was just now." The president added, as the adult soon sighed.

"That was cultist, señora." He said, as he soon explained to them.

"They're mid-ranking members of the Eternal Order of the Second Death." He begins, as her blood ran cold upon hearing that these things were simply mid-ranking members of the cult. She dreaded to think what the high-ranking members could potentially look like at that rank.

"They're devout, fanatical followers who will obey any orders giving to them from the Cult of the Second Death." He continued. "Because of this, they don't have to be constantly drugged compared to the thralls as a result." He finishes, as she stares at him in horror at the fact this cultists were willingly doing all of this on their own volition, and not against their will.

"Also the smell of rot is indeed coming from them as well." He added, as she heard Moe groan.

"Ugh, do these people not shower at all?" Moe asked in disgust.

"Even if they do, it would be completely futile, considering that it's par for the course for all mid-ranking members or above to begin emitting a foul odor that will repel others upon receiving their rank as a result." He replied, as she and everyone else but the adult had shuddered upon hearing that.

"Nevertheless, if that is indeed the case, then time is of the essence right now." The president said. "The body storage room isn't that far from your position. Once you all leave the corridor, you should be able to find the room to the left." She informed them.

"Roger that, we'll pick up the pace." She replied, as she looked at them.

"Everyone! Move out!" She ordered, as they soon made their way to the end of the corridor.

Just as they had almost reached the end of the corridor. Suddenly, an another cultist had appeared to ambush them. As it step foot right in front of them at the end of the corridor, with it immediately charging towards them while screaming at the same time.

"THE SECOND DEATH. THE SECOND DEATH. THE SECOND DEATH."

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

The deafening blast of the shotgun echoed throughout the corridor, as the cultist's head was then promptly blown off. Gore flew in all directions, as leftover bits of it's head splattered across the ground. As it then slumped to the floor, dead. It's body soon joined the many dead thralls and cultists that were strewn across the corridor, along with the multiple dead SATO members.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

The adult racked another shell for his shotgun, as they soon left the corridor and headed straight towards the body storage room.

Eventually, after passing through more destroyed makeshift barriers, they finally arrived just outside the body storage where the late GSC President's corpse is located at. They soon stopped at the entrance to the body storage of the morgue, the makeshift barriers around the entrance to the body storage, this time made from hastily stacked together wooden benches, that were all destroyed now, completely tossed aside leaving the entrance now opened, along with more SATO members that now lay dead on the floor around the entrance, they appeared to have guarded the entrance to the bitter end. The adult looked back at them, to which they nodded at him to open the door.

He then turned back to the door. "Vamos." He said, as the adult took lead and opened the door before walking in, with them behind him following soon enough. Passing through the dead SATO members and destroyed makeshift barriers. As she and everyone else steeled themselves to fight against anything that was inside the room, and to secure the late GSC President's dead body no matter what it takes. So that these girls that had defended the entrance to very end, that had given up their lives in the process to protect this very entrance, will not be in vain.

The room was pitch black when they went inside, the light coming from outside the door barely illuminated anything in front of them.

Despite this set back, she then patted Saki's shoulder. Getting her attention, she then gestured her to find the light switch on the wall by the doorway. She nodded, as then pressed both of her hands on the wall to their right, and began moving them in an attempted to feel the light switch.

"Ah, it appears that they're still some left."

A voice spoke out of nowhere.

Their guns were immediately drawn, as they search around the room for where the voice came from.

They soon managed to make out a figure to their left, aiming their guns directly at the figure. Even in the pitch black room, they could see that the figure had their back turned to them

"Identify yourself!" She yelled, her gun aimed straight at the figure.

"SRT students?"

The figure said in confusion, as her eyes widen upon recognizing the voice.

"Wait, hold on a minute!" She exclaimed, startling everyone around her. As she then pointed at the figure.

"Your...."

The gunfire abruptly ceased, as stunned silence filled the prison block. Everyone stared in disbelief at the now unconscious three prisoners, along with the unconscious mastermind as well.

They then turned to the ones responsible for knocking them out, finding them also as surprised as much as them. Suddenly, their radios crackled into life breaking the silence, as they soon realized that Group One was now radioing them.

"Attention, this is the leader of Group One to Group Two. All four out of the Seven Prisoners have now been successfully captured by us. What is your status regarding with the remaining three prisoners on your end? Over." They asked, as FOX 1 responded back to them.

"This is the leader of Group Two, the remaining three out of the Seven Prisoners along with the mastermind have been successfully captured on our end just now. Over." She replied, while she looked towards them.

"Copy that Group Two, prepare to bring the three captured prisoners and mastermind with you back to the designated rendezvous point to drop off the Seven Prisoners back into the hands of the onsite guards here. We'll be waiting for your group. Over and out." They said, as the radio went silent again.

FOX 1 then began to approach them, as they soon stood at attention for her.

"SALUTE!" "S-SALUTE!"

She and her squad mates yelled out, as the leader of Fox Squad stood in front of them.

"All right, at ease girls!" She ordered, to which they then immediately followed suit.

"RABBIT Squad!" She begins, as they tense at what she would say next.

"Good job out there." She said, giving them a proud smile.

"It's thanks to all of you, that we have successfully captured the mastermind behind this prison break. For managing to spot the mastermind attempting to flee admits all the chaos surrounding the three prisoners, and successfully apprehend her as well all on your own, you have my full praise for your actions in this battle." She continued, as Miyako's eyes widen in glee at the praise she and her squad had received.

"You have all done well RABBIT Squad so please take a break, let your seniors do all the heavy lifting of the three prisoners back to the designated rendezvous point with the remaining SATO members still standing." She added, as she then glanced at all of them again.

"RABBIT Squad, you all are now hereby dismissed!" She ordered, as they stand at attention for her.

"Yes ma'am! SALUTE!"

They responded, as she to saluted them with respect. She then turned around to call out the remaining SATO members.

"Are there any high ranking SATO members currently still in charge of your unit, that isn't unconscious right now?" She asked, as someone then raised their hand up and step forward to her.

"That would be me ma'am, Sergeant Matsuda Aya, at your service." She introduced herself, as she explained why she was the only one left in charge.

"Because I didn't participate in “Protocol Gamma” I'm currently the only one left that can give orders to the other units here." She explained, as FOX 1 nodded at her words.

"I understand that you'll be the only ones to carry your own unconscious units back yourselves, however I have to ask you to borrow some of you members to help us carry one of the three prisoners." The leader of Fox Squad said, as gave her reason to them.

"While my squad along with one of the two second-year squads will be able to carry two out of the three prisoners and the mastermind to the designated rendezvous point. Unfortunately, it would be difficult for the other second-year squad to carry one of them back without some assistance, considering that they're just only four of them." She explained, as she pointed at one of the second-year squad struggling to carry the Legendary Sukeban with them.

Matsuda sighed, "Yeah, that's understandable." She said, as she then turned around to look at the remaining SATO members.

"Alright! Attention, I'll need some volunteers to help one of the SRT squad with carrying the Legendary Sukeban. So step forward if you want to help them." She said, before she added something.

"Also to anyone willing to volunteer for this, I'll personally buy you a drink and a box of donuts on the house." She added, as some members immediately went to assist the second-year SRT squad in carrying the Legendary Sukeban.

"Woah!"

A SATO member exclaimed, as she had accidentally tripped over a unconscious member. Just as she was about to hit the ground.

"OOF!"

Miyako then caught her just in time, fortunately because she had tripped not that far from her. She was easily able to catch her as a result.

"Ohh, t-thank you I a-appreciate your help." She said, as she helped her up on her feet.

"It wasn't a problem at all so no worries." She replied, as the SATO member had now stand in front of her. She sighed as she looked down and spoke,

"I'm so useless aren't I." She said, surprising Miyako at her choice of words.

"I couldn't even help my fellow officers that I'm in charge of in the first place, in taking down the three prisoners at all." She continued, a look of regret on her face.

"They all got knocked out because of my incompetence, if I had just been a bit more stronger..." She said, before she trailed off.

"Even if that were the case, if you girls hadn't willingly... blown yourselves up to wear out the three prisoners. The fight would have been much more difficult as a result." She responded, as the SATO member looked at her in surprised.

"You did what you could do, so don't look down on yourself." She reassured, the SATO member nervousness almost resembled Miyu's self-esteem issues to her.

"Also it was the Seven Prisoners we were dealing with after all." She added, as the SATO member sighed in acceptance.

"Your... Your right, I did all I could to help as much as I can." She replied, before her eyes then widen.

"Uh... not to sound rude, but can you tell me your name if possible?" She asked, as Miyako nodded.

"Sure." She replied. "I'm Tsukiyuki Miyako, the leader of Rabbit Squad." She introduced herself.

"And you are?" She asked, as the SATO member cleared her throat and spoke,

"O-Oh that's right! Since I'd asked for your name, I might as well tell mine in return." She said, as she introduced herself.

"Well to start things off, I'm Corporal...."

"....Yamashita Mizuki!"

Miyako exclaimed, pointing at the now stunned figure.

"Tsukiyuki Miyako?"

She said in surprised, although she still didn't turn around to look at them yet.

"Eh? Wait hold on do you two know each other?" Iori asked, a surprised look on her face.

"Yes!" She exclaimed. "Me and my squad had met her in the aftermath of the prison break. We don't have to worry, we can all personally verify that she's indeed a SATO member." She explained, as she turned to look at Mizuki.

"I never would have expected you to be here as one of the many SATO units guarding the morgue." She said, as she now lowered her gun.

"Can you please explain to us what exactly happened here, and how many units are left?" She asked.

"As you all had seen outside this room, the morgue was completely overrun around one hour ago."

"Because I was ordered to stay inside this room to guard it at all times, I'm unaware how many units are left right now, as I have lost communications with the other units."

She explained, before the adult then addressed something important.

"If that's the case, where are all the other guards currently stationed inside this room here with you then?" He asked.

"That's also something I've been wondering about as well." Neru added, as she narrowed her eyes at Mizuki.

"I doubt that they would have just allowed only one person to guard this entire room, and with how fast the morgue was overrun with everyone outside already dead guarding the entrance, and yet somehow you're still alive?" She pointed out, as she then aimed both of her submachine guns at Mizuki.

"The fact that the lights in this room aren't even turned on in the first place, implies that you're hiding something from us." She added, keeping her guns trained at her.

"So let me ask you this, traitor. Are you the one responsible for sabotaging the communications with Valkyrie Police Academy, and giving information to the cult, on the current whereabouts of the late GSC President's body is located at didn't you?" She questioned, as Miyako and everyone else looked surprised at her line of questioning.

"I guess I can't keep lying anymore now, considering that you've figured it all out already."

Mizuki bluntly answered back, as they all immediately raised their guns at her now.

"Why? Just... why?" Miyako asked, wondering why she did all of this in the first place.

"It... was a foolish mistake that I had made, one that I can't back go against or else I'll suffer the consequences."

She replied, as she then explained.

"After everything that happened at the Correction Bureau, I came to an awful realization... I was still weak."

"I had already know from the beginning that I was weak compared to everyone else, because of that I've decided to train myself everyday since the moment I'd joined SATO, I've kept training to compensate for this very weakness I have."

"At first I genuinely thought I'd improved during my training, that I was ready. But then that... prison break, that damn prison break happened."

"That entire fight had made me realize how futile and useless my entire training attempt was."

"Maybe... just maybe if I had been just a bit more stronger, I might have made a difference during that fight."

"Even if we did win in the end, I still felt I had failed in my duties as a member of SATO, both to subdued the three prisoners and lead my unit at all. I was utterly useless in my duty as a SATO member to them."

"I... felt so hopeless, that after returning back to my dorm, I just did the only option I had left I could think of... praying."

"I just... prayed to anything or anyone, to give even a small glimmer of hope, just a small chance to give me the strength I needed to overcome my weakness."

"I was desperate at that point, just hoping for anything to happen. Even if I'd already knew nothing was going to answer me back."

"Until it had response to my prayers."

She explained, before the adult then spoke again.

"Wait. What do you mean by it exactly?" He asked, a serious expression on his face.

"The UNSPEAKABLE as you have referred to call it by, priest."

She answered, as Miyako then noticed the adult tightening his grip on his shotgun at Mizuki response.

"What did it say to you?" He asked.

"That it could give me the strength I wanted, that I've long for, all I've to do was to swear my name to it."

She replied, as the adult said one last question.

"Once you had received that strength, did you ever regret your decision to accept that deal with it?" He asked.

"....Yes."

"Absolutely."

"It was the worst decision that I had made, and for that decision I'd now suffer with it for the rest of my whole life."

"I made a mistake, and for that mistake I paid the ultimate price."

"I made a deal with the devil, and now I can't go back no matter what."

Mizuki ominously replied, as she then turned around to face them, at the same time Saki had finally found the light switch.

The lights inside the room soon flicker into life, revealing to them what the pitch black had hidden in front of them.

‘PLEASE KILL ME!’

Miyako and everyone else froze, as they all stared in horror at the sight before them.

All of the SATO members that laid dead on the ground had massive stab wounds on their torsos and stomachs with some of their intestines spilled out, all of them had at least one of their limbs sliced off, some were even decapitated, their dismembered heads and limbs were strewn across the ground.

But all of that paled in comparison to the horrific appearance of Corporal Yamashita Mizuki in front of them.

Multiple gunshot wounds almost covered her entire torso along her shoulder and certain parts of her arms as well, her halo was cracked and constantly glitching out, very much similar to the thralls halo they had encountered thus far.

Her eyes were gouged out, leaving only empty eye sockets left with blood leaking out from them. Blood covered around the eye sockets, there was also blood on her lips that drip down all the way to her neck.

But her.... arms.

Her shoulder and certain parts of her arms were almost covered in gunshot wounds, and both of her elbow and forearm on each of her arms were entirely replaced. In their places were a fleshly sword that looked to be made entirely out of bones, with blood covering the entire edge of each fleshly sword.

"Dios mio... What did that thing do to you?" The adult asked, his eyes completely wide in horror at Mizuki appearance.

"This as you all can see right in front of you, is the so-called strength that it had given to me."

She replied, as they shuddered in horror at the so-called strength she had received.

"What! So replacing your elbows with... those sword-like things was the strength it was talking about and wanted to give to you!?" Saki yelled in disbelief.

"That wasn't the only thing it had given to me, and the bodies in this room very much prove it in fact exists."

Mizuki stated, as they all realized in horror at what she had meant by that statement.

"W-Wait, t-t-that m-means y-you...." Miyu stuttered in fear and horror.

"Killed them all? Yes, along with... everyone else in the communications room."

"As you can see, the strength it gave to me, also had the ability to bypass our halos protection and durability as a result of it's immense strength."

She explained, as Miyako then tightened her grip on her gun in fear.

"Of course, as you can tell by my appearance. In exchange, for the ability to bypass our halos protection and durability, it also negated my halo as well. Such is the case of the strength I've received."

"Although, unlike the thralls that all of you had encountered before hand, I'm different enough from them, that as you can see, I'm still standing even after having more than ten gunshot wounds on me. Because of the strength I've received."

She added, as an ominous red glow slowly begin to envelop her.

"When I... killed... everyone in the communications room, at that moment... I'd truly realized the weight of what I'd done."

"The. Sins. That. I. Have. Committed."

"It was at that moment I've realized that this strength... was a curse."

"That no one, NO. ONE. Should wield this power, this mistake in the first place."

"This mistake that I'd made out of my foolish desire to have strength, is something that I could never ever forgive myself."

"For the unforgivable act of killing them, and for the realization on what I'd become."

"I'd decided to punished myself for murders that I'd committed, with the only way I would know how."

"I. GOUGE. OUT. MY. OWN. TWO. EYES. TO. ATONE. FOR. MY. SINS."

Mizuki said, Miyako listened in horror at the revelation, that she had gouged out her own eyes. As she then felt the bile in her throat begin to rise, before she desperately fought it back down.

"After that, I'd exited the communications room and headed straight towards the body storage room to bring the late GSC President's body with me, as I was originally ordered as my first mission."

"Of course, I didn't attend to follow that order to begin with."

"The moment I'd entered this very room, I'd expected all of them to shoot me on sight, as I'd accepted my fate."

"But that didn't happen, instead I was still alive, even after they had inflicted more than ten gunshot wounds on to me."

"It's at tHaT mOmEnt, I'd ReAliZed I WAsn't ReALLy fULly in cOnTrOl of my oWn s-sTRenGTh."

"ThAt tHe pRiCe of ReCeIvINg ThIs sTrENgTh fRoM ThE UNSPEAKABLE , aLSo gAvE it tHe aBBiLiTy to FORciBly in-in-in-in-iNteRvEnE in my bOdY tHe mOmEnT I DiSobEy it's oRDerS."

She said, her voice began distorting in front of them, as the red glow had now fully enveloped her. The temperature inside the room around them drastically plummeted down.

She stated, as she then immediately charge towards them. Acting quickly, they all immediately dodge away from her.

*THUD*-*CRACK*

As her charge had then missed them completely and she had instead slammed against the wall with both of her sword-like arms. They soon noticed her struggling to get her sword-like arms out of the wall.

Immediately, they proceeded to open fire their guns at her, a cacophony of bullets soon reverberated throughout the entire room.

*PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW-PREW*

To their horror, exactly like what she had said to them. Their bullets were doing nothing to her, she didn't even flinched at their gunfire, as had she finally gotten both of her sword-like arms out of the wall. She then immediately charge towards them again.

What happened next had become a game of cat and mouse, as they kept dodging her attacks, while she continued to slash and stab them.

They kept firing their guns at her, along with providing covering fire for others whenever they had to reload their gun.

*CLICK*

Miyako gritted her teeth. "Reloading! Cover me!" She shouted, as she released the empty drum mag, and began to reload her suppressed submachine gun with a spare drum magazine.

As usual, she had heard this, and immediately attempted to charge towards her as she reloaded her gun.

*DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR-DAR*

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*-*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*-*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*-*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

Only to be temporary thwarted by Saki and the adult firing their guns at her briefly stopping her charge dead in it's tracks. With Miyako joining them soon enough once she had reloaded her gun.

"Damnit! She wasn't kidding when she said she was different from the thralls!" Neru yelled, as she continued firing both of her submachine guns at her.

"How is this even possible right now!?" Saki yelled out in exacerbation. While she reloaded her light machine gun.

They continued firing their guns at her, as Miyako then emptied another drum mag for her gun, and began to find a spare drum magazine. She alarming discovered she now only had three drum mags left, looking around her she could see the concerned looks on everyone, as they too started realizing that they were beginning to run out of ammo.

"Damnit! I got no choice, it's now or never!" Iori yelled, as she suddenly jumped backwards, and then took aim at Mizuki.

*DAR*-*CLACK-SCHLIK*

She fired her first shot, as she then quickly ejected a spent casing from bolt action rifle. She then did a spin towards her left side, as she took aim at her again.

*DAR*-*CLACK-SCHLIK*

Firing her second shot, followed by her quickly ejected a spent casing from bolt action rifle. Moving quickly, she then...

Miyako's eyes widen, as she saw Iori jumped directly a few meters away in front of her, as she then kneeled, and immediately took aim right at the same she then began to charge straight towards her.

*DAR*

She fired, the shot hitting her straight towards her head. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to stop her charge towards her. Even as she and everyone else was firing everything they had at her to stop the charge, she felt her heart drop as Mizuki had finally managed to reached Iori. As she then lifted up her sword-like arms at her.

*CRACK*

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

Fortunately, she didn't chopped Iori's legs off, as the edge of the sword-like arms somehow miraculously manage to not hit her.

Unfortunately, the fuller of the sword-like arms had been slammed on both of her legs instead. It was strong and durable enough that it had completely broken both of her long bones as a result, although thankfully she had completely missed hitting her knees.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!"

*CLACK-SCHLIK*

She screamed in pain, while she ejected a spent casing from bolt action rifle. As she then shoved the barrel of her rifle directly inside her mouth.

*DAR*

*CLACK-SCHLIK*

*DAR*

*CLACK-SCHLIK*

*CLICK*

Then fired two rounds directly inside her mouth, before she had ran out of ammo for her gun soon enough, as indicating by the clicking sound it made when she kept pulling the trigger.

To their horror even after taking a shot directly to the head followed by two more shots directly in to her mouth, she was still standing like nothing happened, completely tanking the gunshots.

She slowly lifted up her sword-like arms at her again, while Iori continued to fire her now empty gun at her. As Miyako and everyone else kept desperately firing their guns at her, so as to get her attention towards them and not Iori.

But even with the amount of gunfire raining down on her, she still stood there unflinching at the bullets hitting her.

"̶M̶y̶ ̴c̴o̵n̸d̶o̴l̵e̸n̸c̸e̸s̷.̶"̵

She said, as she now had finally raised her both of her sword-like arms at Iori, before slamming–

She screech out, as she then collapsed to the ground. The red glow around her had immediately disappeared the moment she hit the ground, as blood began to spread on the floor around her.

*SCHLIK-SCHLAK*

The adult racked another shell for his shotgun, as he then step forward in front of her.

While at the same time, both Saki and Neru then grabbed Iori by the shoulders before immediately dragging her away from Mizuki.

Just as the adult was about to aim his shotgun at her again.

*THUD*

Only for her to then grab the barrel of the shotgun, and have it aimed directly at her own head. The barrel of the shotgun hitting her on the forehead as a result.

"Please... Kill... Me."

She said, as Miyako and everyone else eyes widen upon hearing her words. They couldn't believe what she just said to them.

"I... don't deserve to live. Not after the murders that I'd committed, not after forcibly doing more of these atrocities through that... thing controlling me, whenever I disobey it's orders."

She explained, as she then looked at the adult with despair on her face.

"So please... kill me already, end my suffering now I... beg of you."

"If not for that, then kill me to avenge everyone that I'd killed in this morgue."

"I don't want to be a pawn for that thing anymore, I don't want to live looking like this for the rest of my life."

"So I'll asked again. Please... just kill me now, and end this already."

She begged, as the adult gave a solemn look at her. Miyako gasped, as she saw the adult now taking aim at Mizuki.

"...Do you have any last words?" He asked, as his index finger was now on the trigger.

"...Thank you."

She replied, a look of acceptance on her face. As she gave him a smile, and put down both of her sword-like arms to the floor.

*BARM-TWANG-PRAAK*

Her head then exploded, immediately followed by her halo shattering soon enough. Blood and brain matter splattered across the floor, as her body promptly collapsed to the ground in front of them.

The adult then lowered his shotgun, as they all stared silently at her corpse in remorse.

"HLEEAAHHHurkurkBLLEAAHH."

Miyako then retched, as the stress of the whole situation came at her in full force. Which soon followed her stress vomiting as a result, after clearing any vomit from her lip. The president then spoke,

"I'm... sorry to interrupt this moment right now, but you all still need to confirm whether the late GSC President's body is still there. Also Valkyrie Police Academy students are now on route towards the morgue, so prepare for their arrival." She said, as they nodded at her words.

"That's understandable, you don't have to worry we'll confirm it right now. Also thanks for the heads up on Valkyrie students arriving here, we appreciate it." The adult replied, as he and almost everyone soon began to check each of the body storage containers in the room. Meanwhile, Miyu and Miyako kept watch with Iori at the entrance to the body storage room.

"Uh... before that I just want to asked something to you." Neru said, as the adult then turned to look at her.

"Yes?" He asked.

"What exactly did you use to shoot at her with, that could actually killed her?" She asked, as the adult then lifted up a shotgun shell to all of them.

"Silver 12 gauge shells." He replied, as they all looked at him in disbelief.

"Seriously? Silver bullets were literally the only way chance we had in taking her down with?" Saki remarked, as the adult shrug.

"Looks like it appears to be the case, señora." He said, as silence quickly filled the air.

They all then began to search for the late GSC President's body inside one of the many body storage containers in the room.

When Ogata Kanna was informed that they had lost all communications with the Special Assault Tactical Operations (SATO) units guarding the morgue where the late GSC President's body is currently located at, she immediately went to inform the new GSC President regarding this news.

She was then told by the new GSC President that she had decided to intervene in this situation, by holding the first joint operation between SCHALE and SRT Special Academy to investigate the reason behind the lost of communications from the SATO units guarding the morgue. She then asked for permission to hold this joint operation in the first place, to which Kanna immediately granted it.

After all, the Special Assault Tactical Operations (SATO) unit, was considered the best of the best that Valkyrie Police Academy had to offer, second only to SRT Special Academy students of course. The fact they had lost communications with them and they hadn't responded to them even with their phones, means they were most likely sabotaged from an unknown party that could be more organized then them.

After one hour and thirty minutes, she received word from the president that an unknown party was involved in sabotaging the communications with them. Thankfully, they had already dealt with the unknown party and have officially confirmed that the late GSC President's body was in fact still present at the morgue.

Hearing this info from the president, she then informed her that she would now be sending any available units to their location and apprehend the suspects the moment they arrived at the morgue.

The first red flag she had immediately noticed, was when she was instructed to bring body bags to the morgue. As she was told there were confirmed casualties present at the morgue, that involved the deaths of both SATO units and the perpetrators onsite.

The second and finally red flag she had noticed, was when Konoka had entered her office in a panic. The Deputy Director, who usually doesn't take her job seriously, had a pale look on her face. As she then informed her that the situation at the morgue absolutely indeed her full attention, and requested that she had to arrive there as soon as possible.

Seeing her genuinely concerned and serious about all of this, she had accepted her request and headed out of her office. Which lead her to here now, driving the patrol car towards the morgue.

She finally arrived, as she soon parked the patrol car near the police tape that closed off the entire area around the morgue, the sound of police sirens filled the air. She then got out of the car, and headed straight towards the entrance of the morgue. The officers onsite immediately let her inside the closed off area upon recognizing her.

Her eyes widen, as she then stared at the sight in front of her, that will now forever be burned on to her memory.

Rows and rows of body bags laid neatly on the ground in front of the entrance to the morgue, of which there were so many of them that she almost couldn't believe the sight.

The doors to the entrance of the morgue then opened followed by a strangled cry, as two SATO members exited out of the doors while carrying another body bad with them. Behind them were two more SATO members holding back a SATO member away from the body bag.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

"SHE'S STILL ALIVE DAMNIT!! SHE PROMISED ME, THAT WE WERE GOING OUT LATER! SHE WOULDN'T BREAK THAT PROMISE!! JUST PLEASE YOU HAVE BELIEVE THAT SHE'S STILL ALIVE!! I BEG OF YOU!!!"

"PLEASE JUST WAKE UP ALREADY YOU IDIOT!!!"

The SATO member cried out, as the two other SATO members then began to place the body bag on the row. The body bag now joined with rows of body bags that laid on the ground.

"NOW'S YOUR CHANCE! JUST WAKE UP NOW AND PROVE THEM WRONG!! PLEASE WAKE UP!!!"

"PLEASE! PLEASE!! PLEASE!!! WAKE UP ALREADY!!!!"

"WHY. ARE. YOU. NOT. WAKING. UP. YET!!!"

She screamed, wailing loudly, as she sobbed uncontrollably, with tears pouring down from her eyes. As she then fell to her knees in grief, the two SATO members then begin to comfort her by gently patting her back.

Kanna looked at the sight with a solemn expression on her face, she then looked around the area and had found two familiar faces that she wished wasn't here to witness all of this mess.

The two officers she saw were from the Public Safety Bureau, and were also the first units that had arrived on scene. She couldn't help but feel pity for them.

The passionate and hardworking officer that she had met to many times for her to count on many occasions. Nakatsukasa Kirino, had laid on the ground in a fetal position, she could hear the soft sobbing coming from her. As she blamed herself for not saving anyone inside the morgue.

The slacker that she had annoyingly received complaints from her fellow officers for her slacking off on the job. Nemugaki Fubuki, was currently comforting Kirino by patting her shoulder, telling her that it wasn't her fault she couldn't arrived here on time, and that she shouldn't blame herself for this mess.

Kanna sighed, as she then looked around to see where the joint operation team was at right now.

Eventually, she had found them getting interview by Kronos News Club of all people. Fortunately, from the serious expression on both of the reporters faces, indicated that they were not harassing them, and were genuinely asking questions about what exactly happened at the morgue with serious professionalism, with nothing unnecessarily added mixed in the with interview.

Kanna sighed again. ‘This is going to be an absolute hell to fill all the paperwork I'll be getting after all of this.’ She thought, as the sound of police sirens, and grieving wailings continued to fill her ears.
