Chapter 1

Angels of The SSS

Our Leader

It's been a week since that ,Kanade,Otonashi, and Hinata still remember it like it happened hours ago. That moments, still crystal clear to their mind. Her conversion is still haunting their mind. Their leader, best friend, new friend. That moment when Yuri Nakamura consumed by a shadow and disappeared for good.

It's still their times for guard duty. Otonashi was with Hinata. they are guarding the field. Shiina was with Naoi. All SSS members still doesn't believe they both get along quite well in missions. Many SSS members said Shiina finally met her partners for life. Fujimaki and Ooyama guarded the cafeteria. Matsushita 5 and TK guarded Gymnasium. Girls Dead Monster doing their rehearsal. Noda was training near the river. Yusa just watching SSS members and NPC on top of the school. Kanade was just walking in the school because she doesn't actually have to attend the class. Takeyama and Takamatsu were still in their dorm. So, Yuri is being Yuri, just looking at the progress of guard duty. After quite sometimes, she got bored, So she walk to near the field to get a can of Key Coffee. She crossed wih Hinata and Otonashi who also want to get Key Coffee.

"Hey, Hinata, Otonashi" she said cheerfully.

"Hey, Yuri. What are you doing?" Said Otonashi.

"Yeah, Yurippe?" Asked Hinata.

"Oh, I just want to grab a Key Coffee. That's all." She said.

"Oh." Both of Otonashi and Hinata said

"Any report of Evil Tenshi?" she asked

"Nope. No signs of Evil Tenshi or battle." Hinata Said.

"Oh, That's good. Bye Otonashi,Hinata" she said and walked back to the hallway.

Both of them waved their hands

She walked to the hallway. But, she feel something terrible in the hallway. Suddenly, a Shadow appeared in front of her. Surprised, she pulled out her pistol and start shooting the shadow. But the shadow take all the bullets and try to consume her. Desperate, she threw her knife to the shadow. The shadow disappeared. She let out a sigh of relieve. But, unknown to her, another shadow emerged from the floor. She then consumed by the shadow and only can scream as loud as possible.

"Help!, …Some..body..please…he-!"she screamed

Otonashi, Hinata, and Kanade heard her scream. All of them immediately rushed to the hallway. But, they are too late. When they arrived. She's already gone. The only thing left is her white beret on the floor. All of them shocked to see what's happened. And then, Kanade kneeled to the floor. She started to cry. All of them know that Yuri won't scream or leave her beret behind even if it's free time and she always keep her beret very preciously.

"why…Yuri…why…tell me.. why!" she shouted while crying.

Her explosion of emotion got both Otonashi and Hinata off guard. Both of them never see Kanade like this. Otonashi try to calm her down. But it look's like won't stop crying for a while. Then, Hinata walked to front of her beret.

"Yuri….i'm so sorry….i can't keep my promise….to protect you….."he said with guilty tone and a sad face.

All of their happy personality is gone. all of them can only feel grief now. Yuri is no more. She is gone. Otonashi try to keep his emotions, but failed.

"We must tell entire SSS Yuri disappeared mysteriously and not because she passed on" he said,with guilty tone also try to calm Kanade down.

" Yeah." Said Hinata. That sad face still can't leave him with that guilty look in his blue eyes.

"Alright. Let's stop the guard duty and tell every Important SSS Members she is gone."Otonashi said while try to bring a sad Kanade along with him.

30 Minutes later….

All of SSS members gather in the Anti-Angel Headquarters. All of them wondered what's Hinata,Kanade, and Otonashi walked into the headquarters. All of SSS members shocked to see Kanade crying. They never see their now friend show any significant emotion. All of them also notice Yuri is not with them. They knew something's bad happened. A really,really bad one.

"Hey, what's happening?"asked Takamatsu.

"Yeah,something's bad happened?" Yui asked.

Then, Kanade walked towards them and tell something. The SSS Members already feel the emotions within her. Pain,grief,sorrow mixed within that emeotions.

"Yuri…Yuri…Hic.."she tried not to cry."Yuri….is….gone"she started to cry again.

And then it hits them. Feeling of disbelieve, anger,grief, sorrow, and shocked. Even Yusa and Shiina give a shocked look at their both of them start grieving.

"it's…..it's… my fault….. I can't…protect her….."Kanade said. Who know's that Yuri give her such a happiness in her life in only two weeks."I should….come….faster".

"Hey it's not your fault. it's entire Battlefront's fault"Noda said. Everyone shocked by that statement. Never Noda give up his love to Yuri for battlefront's cause. He always selfish for his love and threaten everyone for not doing something for Yurippe, but, now his statement start to lighten everyone up a little bit.

"Thanks…Noda…" Kanade said

"it's nothing."Noda said.

"but, what are we gonna do now?"Ooyama asked.

"we…gonna search for her" Hinata said."I will take control of Battlefront for now,if Yurippe ever come back,I will hand her my leadership back to her." He said, althought still have some guilty tone to his voice, it seems he already calmed down.

All of Battlefront's member then try to be strong. All of them look downed.

" I will commence Operation:King's throne. our mission is to look for Yurippe. other than this, another operation will be announced if needed"Hinata said. He put the white beret on the desk."Operation,Start!".

Present time

In Hinata's leadership, they only done Operation Tornado that week. That's because since Yuri's unknown disappearance to the SSS members, they focused on their search for Yuri. Even though there is very,very small chance they will find Yuri, they all still have their hope for her. They all miss Guild Descend, Monster Stream, and Tenshi Domain infiltration. They all miss her infamous 'death' penalty that make them do their job with their best. They miss that evil villain laugh. They all miss their leader. They all miss her. Otonashi, Kanade, and Hinata stay in The Headquarters. Kanade calmed down, but sometimes still cry remembered Yuri. Hinata , who said he cant't keep his promise , his personality almost change opposite from his happy-go lucky turn to sad and guilty. Otonashi who feared Yuri more than any SSS members looks blank too. Like he doesn't have anything to fear or feel challenged by their leader. All of the SSS member's rarely laugh now and they only give a small smile.

Cafetaria,evening.

They all head to the Cafetaria. In two dining table they merged, they all get their food and eat quietly. They still grief over Yuri. They also leave the seat on the middle of two table open. They hope she will come back.

But then, she is.

A girl with that signature magenta hair come. She wear that ribbon in her 's her signature green one. That sea green eyes can't fooled anyone. Yuri is coming back.

"May I sit here?" she asked.

Everyone looked at her. They still can't believe who stand near the table. They all still doesn't believe who their see. But, something is off her. She wears NPC uniform, instead of SSS uniform. They then realize. Yuri turns into NPC.

"Y-Yes you may." Hinata said

"Thank you." She said

"What's your name?" Kanade asked.

" It's Yuri." Yuri said.

"Your family name?" Otonashi asked.

"Sorry, I can't remember it." Yuri said
