Arata: What day is it today? I feel like I'm forgeting something.

Aaron: You're not the only one.

Hikaru (Slaps forehead): I can't believe it! Arata prehaps I can...But Aaron!?

Aaron and Arata: What?

Writer (Sulks in a corner): I can't believe it...

Yuno (Pats writer): Don't wrorry, Writer-chan. Not everyone frogot about you brithday.

Writer (glomps Yuno): Thank you for remembering Yuno-chan!

Ayari: ...Writer does not own anything from the Danball Senki franchise. Oh, and Happy Birthday too.

Writer: And take note that this can be a little angsty. (I can't believe I can think up of this even on my birthday.)

Haruki

Haruki did not dare to believe it, but it was happening before his eyes as the bits from Seredy Krisler's…that monster's LBX finished off the LBX from the World Alliance one by one. Part of him blamed himself for this. Had he prepared and planed ahead, this would never happen.

He felt hopeless as he heard everyone's pleads for help when they were gassed. He knew that whatever orders he gave would not work and will only result in more chaos. Gripping his controls, he directed Trivhine to shoot at the bits although it was unsuccessful. He could feel everyone doing the same and trying to fight off the bits before they got to them.

'A miracle better happen or all of us will be dead.'

Muraku

A pang of fear shot through him when he saw Mikhail's Glerior explode.

"Muraku…I'm sorry…"

Those were the last words he heard from his fallen companion…his best friend…

"Mikhail!"

He could hear Vanessa scream. It was not a scream of fear, but of anguish. He too felt like screaming but he knew that he could not afford to get distracted and covered for her as her movements were shakier and uncoordinated.

He felt guilty. Had he paid more attention to what was happening to Mikhail, he would not be dead. But at the same time, he could not leave Vanessa's side. So it was either Mikhail or Vanessa, and he cannot believe he had to choose.

Yuno

After War Time, everyone was ordered to go back to class and wait for the next session of War Time. No one had moved except for Arata who was eating chocolate to restore his energy levels after using the overload. Everyone was lost in their thoughts…for their fallen companions…for the next War Time. And Yuno was one of them.

'The next session…' She shuddered. Was it not enough that he had to kill Catherin!?

It's just unfair! She screamed inwardly. They did not deserve this! No one did!

But it was the reality that Seredy was forcing on them.

Just what will happen to us!?

Vanessa

Just how could it have happened?! One moment Mikhail was fine and alive but now he's dead.

Part of her wished that it was her who was in his place instead and part of her blamed Muraku for it. As much as she respected Muraku, she could not stop herself from blaming him. But the truth is she blames herself the most.

Had she not been helpless…had she stuck closer to him…he would still be here with them instead of dead in that…that control pod! The very thing that killed him!

To think that they used to be so eager to jump into their control pods for War Time, now it was a killer machine.

Hanako

She could not think anymore. Catherin was dead…Bunta was dead…Rikuya was dead…dead…dead…dead

The word kept on floating around her mind no matter how hard she tried to push it away. It sapped her of her remaining strength, her will to fight, and most importantly, the will to survive.

But seeing that Yuno refused to give up and fighting off World Saber's LBXs without hesitating, she found courage that was buried inside of her. It renewed her strength, her will to fight and survive. Inwardly, she was glad that she had a friend in Yuno to guide her and encourage her.
