Musique Sans Frontieres

It was a hot afternoon in the middle of nowhere, lost at sea as they couldn't expect help anytime soon. After wandering off too far from the shore three days ago, they found themselves trapped in the vast, unforgiving waters that can anytime consume them. The simple trip of catching fish and sightseeing ended up as a tragedy for them. After all, it was the club president's idea, who claimed to be the captain and navigator of this voyage, to venture deeper into the heart of the sea and eventually lose their course. The yacht's engines were already out of commission, leaving them no other choice but to hold their position and wait for a miracle to come from the horizon.

Although the yacht itself featured sophisticated amenities that anyone could ever wish for, the stranded girls had no idea how long they would last. The onboard GPS seemed to be out of order and the other navigation equipments were useless. In the positve side, they brought in a lot of food than they orginally planned earlier, leaving them to properly ration their supplies before everything runs out.

"I'm hungry, Azu-nyan..." Hirasawa Yui weakly complained, fanning herself due to the heat penetrating the room. The pigtailed girl just replied with a heavy sigh, her eyes fixed outside the window.

"We need to ration our supplies, senpai."

"You already ate your part for today, Yui." Tainaka Ritsu said, opening a bag of potato chips. "We don't know when we will be staying out here."

"Can I have some?" Yui asked with gleaming eyes as if she hadn't ate for hours. In fact, she ate one just a few minutes ago. "I already ate mine..."

"Eh? No way, I saved this one from yesterday."

Yui puffed her cheeks. "Awww...Ricchan, just one, please?"

Ritsu reluctantly picked a potato chip, then tossed it behind her. "Fetch!"

"I'm not a dog, Ricchan!"

"Shut up! At least someone should go outside and watch for other boats or ships that might pass here." Akiyama Mio exclaimed, slamming the table with a world map clutched in her hand. Yui was startled from her seat and Ritsu was furious from the sudden outburst of her friend.

"Then, you should be the first one doing that!" Ritsu answered back.

"Yeah...thanks to you, we're stuck out here!"

Kotobuki Tsumugi thought of something to ease the tension between the two, intensified by the heat and exhaustion and to prevent a possible outrage inside the room.

Tsumugi willingly raised her hand as she tilted her head to the side. "Uhm...I'll go first then."

"NO! The heat will fry you!" warned Ritsu.

"Fried takuan...that's good," Yui said, already hallucinating due to hunger. "Let's have some!"

"Are you sure Mugi?"

"Uh huh." She nodded and went to the upper deck to keep watch from any ships that will pass by. Mio went back to analyzing the map to know their current location at the moment. Azusa nervously glanced at the horizon through the window, still wondering when this will end and Yui decided to take her usual nap. After awhile, Mio finally pinpointed their location. She was reading a book about navigation since they were out in the ocean and it successfully paid off. Although they're out there for quite some time now, they haven't lose hope that they will be saved from their situation.

Mio announced with a frown, "If my estimation is correct, we are currently in the middle of Pacific Ocean."

Upon hearing their current whereabouts, Azusa was freed from her trance with eyes widened and Ritsu almost sprayed Yui with the tea she was drinking.

"We wandered THAT far?" Azusa cried, tending not to believe what she had heard from her senpai.

"Remember that we travelled at the yacht's top speed not long before the engine gave out." She replied uneasily, trying not to remember the yacht violently skidded on the seawater and how she was screaming for her dear life. It was more of a dreadful experience than a fun one for her. She could only thank the gods that they were still alive.

"THAT'S INSANE!" Ritsu exclaimed as if the world began to corrode by itself. "We can't possibly..."

"NO, YOU'RE INSANE! It was your idea!" Mio furiously interrupted.

"Yeah, you could always blame me, but what now?"

"This yacht has no sail to begin with, we barely have enough food for the next few days, and we can't expect any help from the island as well," Mio stated.

Ritsu went for a dramatic pause before she spoke in a deep tone. "In other words, we're doomed."

There was a brief silence afterwards; they never thought that everything would end on being trapped and helpless in the middle of the ocean. Laying down the facts, they were only high school students who could play musical instruments, eat sweets and drink tea. They had little experience to those kind of situations. After all, the After School Tea Time wouldn't be established if they were not inclined on those activities. Soon, footsteps were heard walking towards the room, which sounded as if it were in a hurry. Tsumugi entered carrying a huge smile with her and the news that was anticipated by all.

"Everyone! Someone finally noticed us!" squealed Tsumugi, hands tightly clasped together

"Really? Thank goodness!" Mio said as she stood up.

Ritsu followed, casually stretching her arms. "It's about time. I thought we're gonna rot here..."

Everyone rushed outside except Yui to see a helicopter approaching their spot. They waved their hands up high, relieved that someone would rescue them. The chopper hovered above them, sending gust of wind to the girls on the deck as they covered their eyes. The doors slid open and someone threw a ladder rope down. The person was wearing a dark variation of fatigue typically worn by soldiers at war, black boots and mask covering his entire head, leaving the only opening for his eyes to see through. There was a prominent insignia placed in the left arm of the person's uniform. The sight of it made Mio shiver. Who would know that their rescuers were actually soldiers? What was interesting was that the soldier seemed to be different, in a sense that he belonged to a military group they never heard of before.

"Mugi...Are you sure they're here to rescue us?" asked Mio as she tried to calm herself down, but to no avail. This was one of her first encounter with a heavily-armed group. She knew that soldiers were supposed to protect innocent people and hoped they won't hurt them. Tsumugi, on the other hand, remained her composure as if this was an everyday scene.

"Sorry, Mio-chan, I don't know either," Tsumugi replied. "It seems they're from an army of sorts. I can't tell..."

"Mugi-senpai...Don't tell me they're from your private army..."

"Don't worry, Azusa-chan, we don't have such things as that." The blonde haired girl just winked at her. "If we do have one, my childhood dream would come true."

"C-Childhood dream? You're kidding, Mugi-senpai..."

"So...they're terrorists then?" Ritsu guessed as she stared at the soldier's uniform. Upon hearing this, Mio sat down and hugged her knees in fear.

The soldier, upon setting foot on the yacht's bridge, glanced on the girls for a moment before he spoke in a loud tone, fighting the sound of the whirling rotor. "What on earth are you guys doing in the middle of the ocean?"

Tsumugi stepped forward to answer. "Uh...Sir, our yacht's engines were broken and we don't have any means of contact for someone to help us. Basically, we're trapped here."

"Where did you came from anyway?" The puzzled man asked.

"Japan."

"Sorry, lass. Come again? Can't hear you."

"JAPAN!"

"WHAT THE...YOU'RE JOKING, RIGHT?" The man shouted, astonished himself upon hearing it. "Anyways, you might want to drop by to our place for awhile. We're currently on an operation now, we can't take you back ourselves."

"Absolutely! Where will you take us?" The blonde keyboardist asked.

"Outer Heaven. I'll contact Mother Base to pick you up."

"I don't want the sound of this Mugi..." Mio was trembling more than before. The last thing they needed were soldiers from an unknown faction and sending them to the heart of their operations.

Azusa had her share of doubts as well. "Me too...something's not right here."

From the name of the soldier's base alone, they could only wonder what things awaits them.

"At least we're gonna be save. Stop complaining, Mio," said Ritsu with a rather irritated tone. "As if we have other choices..."

"I need four fulton kits here." The man spoke through a radio of some kind. The chopper descended a little to the yacht's starboard. Another person, wearing the same uniform as the first one, leaped to the deck and handed the requested equipment to him.

"Sir, we need to depart soon," The other man informed as he saluted.

"I know, this won't take long." He replied then turned to the girls, handing over the fulton recovery kits to each of them. "Attach the harness to your waist, then your good to go. We're going now."

"THAT'S IT? YOU'RE LEAVING US HERE?" Ritsu exclaimed as she expected they would be given a free trip to safety.

"Don't worry. Like I said before, I requested a chopper to fetch you. If you don't have any more questions, we're leaving."

Only the sound of the chopper's rotor could be heard as the girls looked more confused.

"Good luck. I might never see you girls again after this operation, but...who gives a damn anyway?"

The two soldiers immediately returned to their helicopter and went south of their position. They watch their rescuers disappear in the horizon before checking what have been handed to them, apparently their ticket for Outer Heaven.

"The soldier told us to strap this harness to our waist..." Azusa recalled, carefully inspecting the fulton recovery kit. "Mugi-senpai? What is this exactly?"

"I think it has something to do with retrieval operations," Mugi replied. "If I heard it right, this thing is vital to recover humans and things alike from the ground."

"Uhm...Mugi-senpai, when did you start going to military school?"

"Well, Mio, you try it first," Ritsu said with a huge grin.

Mio shot a glare at the drummer. Ritsu really knew how to press Mio's angry buttons. "Idiot? Why me!"

"Are you scared?"

"No, I'm not...Maybe you are."

Mio eagerly strapped the harness around her waist then the container holding the self-inflating balloon was suddenly released.

"What? A...balloon?" asked Ritsu, slightly confused.

"RRRIIIITTSSSSSSSSSUUUUUUUUUU!"

The three could only gape at their friend in worry as she was drifted above to the open sky by the helium balloon. It was an amusing but terrifying sight to be experienced by anyone.

"Well...at least we already knew what will happen, right? Who's next?"

"This is only the start, right?" Azusa mumbled. "What could possibly happen next?"

The orange sky was a spectacle sight as the sun continued to sink below the horizon. The ocean breeze went a tad colder as the night approaches. An abandoned yacht was solely floating on the vast ocean...

"H-Hey? Where are you guys?"

Well, the yacht was not really deserted...

"Where is everybody?" Yui muttered as she watched the sun go down in the horizon. "Hmph, I'll eat their food if they won't show up."

The guitarist impatiently marched back to the cabin as she rummaged in every possible hiding places for food.
