Tsukiko Squad 1
Maya was shouting "Yes!" over and over as she entered her squad's operating room.
Her other three squad members were spread out doing whatever. Kuni sat in her operating chair, cross-legged, a sketch pad in her lap, occasionally adjusting the neon green-rimmed glasses on her nose. She had a thinking expression on her face, and every minute or so her pencil scribbled on the paper. Shana was doing her homework on one of the chairs lining a coffee table, occasionally taking a sip of her soda. Eri was laying on the couch on her stomach, reading what appeared to be manga. When their leader came in yelling, the three girls looked up from what they were doing.
"What's so exciting?" Shana asked.
"Oh, I think I know what you mean," Kuni said smiling.
"It's..." Maya said, pausing for effect. "B RANK WARS!"
"B Rank Wars. Right," Eri said. "Who are you on a revenge mission against, now, Maya?"
"That white-haired shrimp from Tamakoma! And..." Maya looked up in thought. "Six other people."
"Geez, Maya, you get into way too many solo Rank Battles," Kuni said.
"Haha yeah," Maya said. "Next up, beat Ko Murakami!"
"Isn't he the #4 ranked attacker?" Eri asked.
"Yeah..." Maya said.
"Don't you think you might be biting off more than you can chew?" Eri said.
"Maybe," Maya said. "But if we win our first two B Rank Wars battles, we might have a chance of facing Suzunari-1. And then I'll get him."
"Who's our opponents anyway?" Shana asked.
"I'll get that," Kuni said, spinning her chair around and typing something into her computer. "We're Ranked at 19. We're facing Rank 20 Tadeshi Squad and Rank 21 Matano Squad."
"Kuni, try and get all the info you can," Eri said.
"Gotcha, Eri!" Kuni said, turning back to her computer.
"Maya, do not challenge anyone from those teams to a solo Rank Battle under any circumstances. You hear me?" Eri said.
"Fine," Maya grumped.
"I'll handle strategy," Eri said.
"What, no job for me?" Shana smirked.
Eri gave her a look. "Do you want a job?"
"Thanks, but no thanks," the American said.
Maya yelled, "Well let's get on with it then!"
One week later and the Tsukiko Squad had logged their first win, and by a good margin. High fives were passed around between the teammates.
"Awesome job guys!" Kuni exclaimed. "We did it!"
"What's our rank now?" Maya asked.
"15!" the operator announced.
"Yes! We're up four places!" Shana said. "Who's our next opponents?"
"Rank 18 Chano Squad and Rank 14 Kakizaki Squad," Kuni said.
"Teruya from Kakizaki Squad is in one of my classes," Eri said.
"Makoto Chano's in one of my classes," Shana said. "The first time I met her, I mistook her for a guy... There is no coming back from that."
The other three girls laughed.
Maya yelled, in her typical upbeat way, "We're moving up, this is what we've been waiting for!"
Hi everyone, for everyone who does and doesn't know me, I'm Awesome Sauce. This is my original and first story in this fandom. I wrote it in a time frame from about two years ago to a year and a half ago, so I know some of my information or whatever might be a little outdated. All of my chapters were also previously written, so I know the writing isn't the greatest quality, but I want to publish these fast so there's a base for a story I want to tell with the same characters later. The story is incomplete and will remain that way, but I hope you will enjoy getting to know my characters.
