Episode 1: Suiryuu and the Sniper.
(Before I get started with this chapter, this is my version of the Kampfer anime, which had no ending. I'm not sure if the manga does or not, because I have not read it though I do plan on reading it in the future. This story does have OC characters, four main ones, two on blue and two on red. One being a wind Zauber, another a Gewehr and one Schwert, the last one I haven't decided on, so we'll see about that one. This is actually a small side project, I'm not sure how long it'll go on, but I'll be sure to update sometimes if I do have ideas. Two of them are males, for reasons I will explain later, while the other two I haven't decided yet. Wait, when I mean my version of the anime, I mean after the last episode…which was Natsuru getting the milky bra.
There might be some OOCness that shows up…I apologize.
I'll also be calling Natsuru and the other males, men in their original forms, and women in their Kampfer forms.
So, I hope you enjoy!~)
A boy looked out over the city from the top of his school the wind blew through his blue hair, his blue gaze never wavering from the sight of the city.
"New Kampfer? Isn't it a two vs. two thing?" Mikoto, a brown haired girl asked, looking at a black haired girl, who nodded in reply. "Then…they might be white Kampfer! And secondly…how do you know this!"
"Call it a hunch," Shizuku replied, running a hand through her long hair, letting it fall back to her back.
The white Kampfer had been rather quiet since their last attempt ended in a huge failure, mainly getting their butts whooped big time. Natsuru turned around and looked at the three.
"I-if there are m-more would t-that mean…" a orange haired girl asked, readjusting her glasses quickly before kicking the ground in embarrassment.
"I suppose, they might just fight each other…or all of us," Shizuku added in, confirming what Akane said. "They might even go to our school, who knows…"
"Why would she create more Kampfer though!" Mikoto asked, stamping her foot. "It's already unfair that she's faster than us, not to mention she has four white Kampfer to boot! I say, we find the Kampfer and convince them to help us!"
"Would more increase our odds, I wonder," Shizuku pondered, bringing her hand to her chin. "What do you think, Natsuru?"
"Yeah, Natsuru!" Akane and Mikoto added in, folding their arms and giving the only boy a death stare.
"Uh…" Natsuru held up his hands in a feeble attempt to protect himself from the inevitable wrath that would follow. "I…I'm not sure."
The three girls sighed.
"Perhaps, they might just be allies in disguise," Shizuku said continuing to ponder. But then, lingering in the back of her mind was the greater possibility that they would be white Kampfer. That would prove to be a challenge, going up against more. More swords, more guns and more magic.
Then, there was always Her. She was faster, stronger, and had much better aim then their Gewehr. Not to mention, she had a way of convincing them to do what she wants. That had been proven when they managed to beat the white Kampfer and Natsuru started to attack them.
Akane and Mikoto were having similar feelings to Shizuku. Natsuru, had his mind elsewhere.
"So, should we find the Kampfer, or just let them find us?" he asked.
Shizuku exhaled through her nose as a breeze blew by. "I'm sure that soon…" she was cut off by a tree falling in the park, not too far away from the school. Several more trees started to shake. "Well, I suppose that we have found at least two Kampfer in the park."
(~)
"Crap, crap!" a girl nearly shouted, barely able to restrain her voice. She looked to be around thirteen, with light brown hair with green highlights about shoulder length. She wore a school uniform of black and white, with long black socks and a black, almost shawl like scarf and a white short sleeved dress shirt. "What the hell is going on!"
A sudden wizzing sound went past, then a small hole appeared in the cement, near the tree she was hiding behind.
"Whoever's shooting has damn good aim…they're almost hitting me…" she muttered, then recalling that whoever it was shot down a tree. "Oh second thought…I shouldn't stay still…"
She darted out to the next tree as another bullet managed to bring down the tree she just left.
"One powerful gun…" she gulped. "Nothing that I'd want to be hit-" A branch cut her off, nearly landing on her had she not seen it and jumped when she did. "god dammit…can't I get a break? Could I use the trees to move faster or would that be too obvious?"
She didn't have a chance to decide as another branch came down. They were toying with her, and she knew it. Going up into the trees would be suicidal. She ran to another tree just as a third branch came down from her previous cover.
"Come on, Suiryuu…you can figure out why this…guy…girl…thing is shooting at you…" she muttered again, bringing up her left wrist to inspect the blue bracelet that had appeared last night. Frowning as she inspected it closer. "Could you be responsible for this…?" she asked it, as if it would reply. "If I ever do get home, I'm going to ask that stupid stuffed animal what the fu-"
"Found you!~"
Suiryuu slowly turned her head in the direction of the voice. She didn't see anyone but that didn't stop the bullet.
It went right through her right shoulder, leaving a hole on both sides, blood staining the once white shirt. She resisted the urge to scream, to call out for help. She just ducked around the other side of the tree.
"Shit…" she muttered as her wound continued to bleed, the red marking the shirt even more. "sniper…"
Suiryuu took in deep breaths, trying to calm herself. To keep her from panicking and running right out into the open. Once she was relatively calm, she took in her surroundings. Thirty or so feet away was the playground, rather plain with a swingset, a slide and a little dome with holes in it. In front of her was a small forest type area where kids could hide, there were a few trees that they could climb easily off to her left.
She didn't need easy trees in order to climb, it was one of her hobbies for the past few years, that included climbing buildings from time to time…sure, she broke a few bones, but it was all worth it in the end. It was her favourite thing to do.
The shooting seemed to stop, maybe the girl shooting figured she was dead? Suiryuu couldn't tell. She didn't hear anything, not even the wind rushing through the trees.
"Did she sto-" A bullet hit the tree right next to her. She looked right at the hole and gulped again. "Wrong question…why won't anyone help? There has to be someone walking in the park, or looking at the destruction! Am I really alone with a psycho? Is this how I'm going to die, being sniped at by a crazy ass girl…" Suiryuu grimaced and grabbed her shoulder. It was starting to burn, like hell was starting to have a party in her shoulder. Blood was already starting to dry.
Panic was threatening to take over again, but she refused to give into it, into the pain in her shoulder, and the complaining her legs were giving.
She took a step forwards and instantly regretted it, with a loud snap, a branch broke. Then, there was another shot fired off and another branch fell. Cutting her off from running deeper into the forest, where the sniper would have a harder time taking aim.
"No where to run!~" Whoever she was, she sounded closer than the round came from. Suiryuu glanced to her left, as that was where the voice had come from.
Is she advancing…? Can I make it to the fountain or the park? she asked herself, biting her lip to try and keep her mind distracted. Judging the distance between the park, or the fountain, she decided that it would be too far and if the girl caught onto her, her shoulder wouldn't be the only thing hurting.
She clenched her fist, feeling relief that it still worked, then she tried to raise it, bringing it back down only halfway when the pain became unbearable. She didn't know how to treat it, nothing medical stuck in her brain when she had to take the course. It still annoyed her sometimes when she forgot something that might save her life, literally and figuratively. Her climbing skills wouldn't help if her arm didn't work properly, and even if it did, rattling the trees would only increase the odds of getting shot.
"Wait a second…" Suiryuu muttered, grabbing a stick and tossing it at a tree, causing some leaves to fall, barely a second later, the whole branch fell from being shot. "Of course, if I can distract her long enough then I can probably run…" She then made the mistake of peeking out, seeing a faint glint of sunlight off a red bracelet before she had to retreat back behind the tree. Another bullet had nearly taken her life.
"Getting too reckless…but that red…" the sound of a shell dropping made her stop talking and quickly run forwards, diving behind another tree as the one she had used as cover came crashing down onto the tree she was now hiding behind, it groaned trying to resist collapsing. "Crapcrapcrapcrap!" she said really fast, needing to decide if she could make it to another tree, or if the shooter would let her.
She was having a hard time making the decision, but either way it would have dire consequences if it failed. If she ran, then she might get shot. If she didn't she might get shot.
Another thought came to her. What if there wasn't just one person shooting at her…what if there was more. What if there was a whole army! What would she do then, the forest part of the park wouldn't be big enough to hide from a whole army for too long.
Calm down! They would already be shooting…but…what if they're just trying to flank me or something! Her eyes shot wide open as her head darted in several directions at once, trying to see if anyone else was in the forest with her, and to the best of her knowledge, no one was.
Taking a sigh of relief she leaned back against the tree, once again gathering back her mind and trying to remain calm.
"Alright…small recap…woke up today like this, talked to a stuffed animal that talked back…started to walk around town…got called a little kid…" she clenched her fist at those very words. "that pissed me off…now I'm getting shot at for no reason! Now, I wonder how this day could get any worse…" as if to answer her question, when she turned her head she saw another red bracelet at first.
Then, she saw a girl with white hair, some sort of spiking off to the side. Her uniform looked like Suiryuu's only inverted. White was black and black was white.
Suiryuu's eyes widened, because in her hands was a rather sharp looking katana. She gulped, backing as far to the tree as she could. "H-hi there…" she said, hoping that the girl wouldn't attack.
She turned around and from what Suiryuu could see of her eyes, they were like sapphires.
Her eyes darted down to the bracelet on Suiryuu's wrist then back up, and back down again.
"A blue…" she gripped her katana with both hands. "an injured blue at that…" It raised to shoulder level. "and young…"
Suiryuu started to twitch at the word 'young'. "I'm fifteen! FIFTEEN!"
"Okay…calm down or you'll alert them," the girl dropped her sword to lower guard, using her other hand to make a quieter gesture. "Once we're out of danger, someone will treat that wound. I'm Mikoto, Mikoto Kondo," she said, slightly smiling to try and calm the 'younger' one down.
"S-suiryuu…Suiryuu Hikaru…" Suiryuu muttered before hearing the clash of metal against metal.
"Looks like Shizuku's scaring off the Gewehr then once she's gone, we'll deal with that gun wound," Mikoto said.
She's still treating me like I'm a kid… Suiryuu sighed, the fighting was getting distant…but there was something else…clapping?
Up above in another tree, she could barely see the outline of a human.
"Well done, you've survived until round two…that truce won't last forever. Sooner or later, the reds will turn on the blues like it has always been. I suggest you start fighting now. Make it easier on yourselves." Then, whatever it was vanished.
Mikoto frowned as she looked at the tree. "That wasn't Her or was it?…who was that if it wasn't?" Suiryuu tilted her head in confusion before looking up.
"I don't hear anything anymore…miss…" she said, Mikoto listened in and nodded for confirmation.
"She left shortly after," a new voice said as she emerged from behind a tree, Suiryuu's eyes widened again at the sight of the red bracelet, and the two daggers linked together by a long chain. "She was a red, but she had no problems taking shots at me."
The bracelet and the daggers weren't the only reason her eyes were open, it was the fact that she was staring at the Student President. This was something that she couldn't believe, the student body president, the girl with perfect attendance, perfect grades, and quite frankly, one of the three beauties of Seitetsu. The only difference that she could see was the silver in her hair.
Shizuku glanced down at her bracelet. "A blue, so then…" she raised one of her daggers up.
Suiryuu fell back, landing on her butt and tried to crawl away. "P-please don't hurt me!" she barely squeaked out. "I don't know what's going on!"
"She's harmless, didn't try attacking or anything," Mikoto said, leaning on her katana.
Shizuku ignored her and looked down at Suiryuu, seemingly looking into her bright, emerald green eyes. "What's her name then?"
"Suiryuu…Hiraku I think?"
"Hikaru…" she mumbled as she folded her legs to sit cross-legged, looking at the ground as if it were the most interesting thing in the world.
"Suiryuu Hikaru, I seem to recall someone with a similar name. Although, I don't remember where…" Shizuku said as her daggers just simply, disappeared. She turned to face Mikoto, shrugging in response to some unspoken question, Shizuku turned back to Suiryuu. "You said you don't know what's going on?"
She nodded in response, Shizuku sighed and closed her eyes. "You're injured…Mikoto, take her to Natsuru's house, we'll meet you there."
Mikoto nodded, with that Shizuku walked away, calmly as if there wasn't any danger.
"N-natsuru? Which one?" Suiryuu asked, pushing herself up wincing as pain shot through her shoulder.
"Well…" Mikoto started, katana disappearing. "how can I say this…both Natsuru's are the same person. You, me, Shizuku, and a few others are Kampfer."
"Camp…fur?"
"KampFER, it means we're warriors…didn't your Messenger tell you this?" Mikoto asked, walking out of the small forest.
Suiryuu tapped her chin as she thought. "You mean…that Entails animal thing? I think…he said something about…I don't remember…" She almost bowed her head in depression.
"It's a lot to take in at first, trust me when I became one after the Miss Seitetsu school festival…"
"Wait!" Suiryuu cut her off, feeling her foot step onto concrete. "You turned into a Kamp…fer the day after you got it?" Mikoto looked at her funny. "A-anyways…the two Natsurus are the same person…how? I mean…"
"Kampfer are generally female. If a boy is a Kampfer, then they turn into a girl." Suiryuu made a oh sound. "but, men aren't the only ones who change, we also change, hair colour and sometimes our personalities get changed." Suiryuu nodded and looked down.
She was lost in thought as Mikoto explained the different types of Kampfer while they walked. She explained how some used magic, swords like herself and the president, and guns like the sniper. Then, she decided to try and figure out what type she was.
But, soon enough they found themselves greeted by Shizuku and the female Natsuru. Natsuru wore the same uniform as Suiryuu and the president, only her hair was tied up in a loose ponytail, messed up.
There was another girl, with shoulder length red hair and red eyes, holding a 1911 .45 pistol in her left hand. Her uniform was the exact same short of the socks, they were just halfway up her calves.
"So, this is the new blue, wonderful," she muttered and folded her arms, glaring at Suiryuu who shrunk down in response. "Short and young, what next? Bitchy and slu-"
"Akane…" Natsuru sighed, shaking her head.
"Short…? Young…?" Suiryuu seemed to snap, she stood up ignoring the wound. "Why don't you take that gun and shove it up your a-"
"Sui?" Mikoto said.
"S-sorry…I just don't like being called short…or young…" Suiryuu's face turned red as she shrunk back down.
"Spine, yet spineless," Akane said with a slight smirk.
"Can you two save your bickering for later?" Shizuku asked, rubbing her forehead. "she's injured, Natsuru, you have medical supplies, yes?" The blue haired girl nodded in response. "Good, then you can go grab the supplies while we explain what is going on to Sui."
"Sui?" Suiryuu asked suddenly.
"Suiryuu's too long to say when we can easily just call you Sui," Shizuku replied, running a hand through her hair. "But, anyways, Natsuru."
A few minutes later, Suiryuu was getting her shoulder bandaged up while Shizuku mostly explained a truce that was going on between the four. Suiryuu silently listened and nodded when she felt it was appropriate, also making notes at how closely she, Akane the red haired girl, and Mikoto were sitting to Natsuru. Since she was sitting in front of him while getting bandaged.
"So, white Kampfer aren't a part of this…and you…" Suiryuu pointed at Shizuku with her right hand. "want this truce until you uncover the moderator's motives? Then…you'll turn on us blues?"
"I have not thought that far ahead, yet," Shizuku responded with a dull tone.
Convincing, Suiryuu thought before wincing, Natsuru had pulled the wrapping ends together and tied them. "I guess, I'll join in the truce…Since I have no idea what the hell is going on…"
"Very well." She didn't sound that impressed.
"I think I'll get going…" Suiryuu then said, standing up since Natsuru had finished. She then quickly made her exit.
"I don't recall anyone that young in our school…" Akane had changed back.
"Remember, the bracelets not only turn you into a Kampfer, they also can change your personality, your body and in some cases, your gender," Shizuku explained, casting a glance over at Natsuru. "Besides." she then looked out the window, watching Suiryuu walk away. "I have a good hunch at who she is."

Suiryuu: Phew, the first chapter's done! Now for the preview for the next chapter! Wait, the president has a feeling on who I am!
Akane: Probably doesn't help when you tell people your name.
Suiryuu: *Downcast* I can't believe this…
Akane: I wonder what other surprises are coming up next. Find out in the next chapter of Kampfer, Season Two
Suiryuu: SHOOT ME NOW!
Akane: Gladly! *Starts shooting at her feet*
Suiryuu: *Attempting to dance between the bullets* I was kidding!
