Part 2
The Second Half
of the battle AND movie.
Miyu and Yamato ran off to a small area in the other side, where Ran was confronted by Mami and Harue. They went down the corridor to find a small room, with a working radio.
"Here it is," Miyu said, "If we dispatch to the Colonel, we can send a rescue chopper to save us. Ran will survive with the Ikebukuro Gals, but you and I are super lovey-dovey!"
Yamato blushed and said, "Okay… wait here. I'll start sending the message to Colonel Himejima. You keep the door guarded."
"Roger! Miyu will protect Yamato-kun from death!"
Yamato went in the room, as Miyu guarded the doorway.
He contacted the base and called to Colonel Himejima:
"To Col. Towa Himejima,
Send a copter to pick us up. Many have died, only my sister, my girlfriend, and I are the only survivors. The other teams' members are still around, with Otohata manning the guns. We need to escape. Also, make sure Otohata come back soon.
From, Corporal Yamato Kotobuki"
He sent the message, but then heard shots firing. He stepped out and found Miyu, firing at the remaining seven blue members. Yamato stepped in front of her and began to fire at all seven. Every single one fell, getting shot in the chest, head, and neck. Yamato turned to Miyu and comforted her.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Miyu was scared. There were too many of them…" she whimpered, "Miyu thought she killed them, but I couldn't fire."
Yamato then hugged her and said, "It's okay. No matter what, I'll watch over you and man you up. Don't worry about it, Private."
Miyu giggled, "Yes, sir."
But as they were about to kiss, one of the wounded soldiers got up and fired his last bullet at Yamato's spine. Yamato was shot, as he shoved Miyu out of the way. He collapsed, as Miyu was crying. The soldier that killed him staggered up, limping away.
"YAMATO-KUN!" She cried.
She started to cry, as she saw the soldier limp away. She held her gun up and pointed it at her head… but then, she realized that Kotobuki would not survive. So, in an intense amount of rage, she pointed at the fleeing soldier, and began to fire.
RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!
"YOU ASSHOLE!" She screamed, as she continued to fire at the soldier. He fell on the ground, covered in blood and bullets.
Miyu wiped her tears and ran off, looking for Ran.

Meanwhile, Ran began to fire her gun at Mami and Harue, but the Ikebukuro Gals dodged out of the way and cornered her, with a gun on the front and back of her.
"So… you guys like to cheat, right?" Ran scolded.
Harue sneered from in front, "You're one to talk. Otohata led us to victory, but today, it's our turn."
Mami then placed her finger on the trigger. She held up her gun and was about to fire.
"Happy trails, Ran Kotobuki," Mami snickered.
Harue snickered, "Too bad it's the both of us that will avenge our losses."
Ran chuckled, "You two Bukuro bitches don't know me well…"
BANG!
Harue fell dead, with a small bullet hole in her gut.
"Have you forgotten?" Ran continued, with a pistol in her hand, "I always plan ahead."
"You bitch from hell!" Mami screamed, as she fired her rifle.
Kotobuki dodged each bullet. When Mami ran out of bullets, Ran jumped towards her, jabbing the handgun and her abdomen.
"You wouldn't dare…" Mami cringed.
"Make me…"
"If you do… tell Yuuya… I said goodbye…"
"I will… I'll give Second Place my regards."
BANG!
Mami fell dead, covered in blood. She reached for Ran, but was weakening.
"Damn… you… Kotobuki…" She croaked.
Her hand dropped, as Ran kneeled down, knowing that Otohata and Yuuya were left. However, she didn't realize that Aya was behind her. Ran heard footsteps approaching, knowing that it's Miyu.
"Miyu, let's hope that ends it. Don't blame me for what I did. It's an ironclad rule to take out all people at all costs. Okay… maybe not. When we see Second Place, I'll give him the word that I killed Mami Honda. And as for Otohata, we'll leave him be… for now. There's always a new battle for us, right? Right… and don't worry, it's our duty as Gals to continue on as friends."
She got up and held her pistol up and said, as Aya went closer, "Now… let's leave this hell and never return."
She was about to turn around, until she sensed a dark aura, "Miyu… is your dark past returning?"
She turned around and saw a girl with black hair, covered in small splatters of blood.
"AYA!" She held up her gun at her, but Aya shot it off her hands.
"Aya! I forgot about her!" Ran thought, "And I thought Mami-rin was my last opponent…"
Aya held her rifle up and fired at Kotobuki.
"Hold still, you red streaked devil!" She screamed.
Kotobuki cried, "Shit! She's good!"
She dodged every bullet and approached Aya, while on the ground. She dove in to grab her pistol, but Aya kicked it away.
"NO!" She screamed.
Aya pointed her rifle at Kotobuki. All Ran could do was kneel down.
"Go ahead… finish me off…" she muttered, "But will Otohata approve of you?"
"I'm afraid I can't do that yet. It's not the right time," Aya spoke, "And as for Otohata, you've failed to reach him after all. Even if you did… they've got to him already."
She stomped her back. Kotobuki was facedown, as Aya stepped on her neck, holding the handgun at her.
"Now… what to do about you…" Aya snickered.
Miyu appeared and saw Aya, holding Ran, about to fire.
"Aya?" She thought, "NO! She… she wouldn't!"
She ran toward them and screamed, "AYA! NO, STOP!"
"MIYU! DON'T MOVE!" Ran screamed.
Miyu halted, as Aya sneered at her.
"Ran! No…"
"One step closer and she dies," Aya announced.
"Aya… what's gotten into you?" Miyu asked.
Aya looked down and was sad. She said, "I… I have done something bad, that I'll regret."
Kotobuki asked, "What did you do?"
Miyu announced, "You… you killed everyone?"
"No…" Aya winced, "I… killed Otohata… just so that Ran won't get the chance. Kotobuki had been with me, but now… I want to do this myself; even after all those moments in hell…"
Miyu then cringed, "You… shot…?"
Ran cried out, "HOW COULD YOU? You loved that GL guy! You're his girlfriend!"
Aya sobbed, "I know! And I'll regret that! But… I blame you for making me kill everyone… I had dark hair and a very dark aura; I'm like a stealth bomber."
Writer's Note: "Stealth Aya" was already taken.
Miyu gasped, "No…"
"I killed most of our men, and most of your men, Ran. Forgive me, I'm sorry…"
"Miyu can't believe you!"
"And it drove you to kill Rei? You're uber-stupid!"
"Stupid? After all that trouble you got me, to get you to make me fall for Otohata-kun? I haven't forgotten the rumor that Shibuya had about you two! It still burns me! How could you hurt me?"
"Aya, what's done is done! Killing me won't bring the ice king back… no one does."
Miyu took a step forward and remarked, "Aya, she's right. Please… stop worrying about what you did. You'll see him again soon. And besides, you've had even bigger problems before."
Aya sighed. She said, "I should've guessed…"
She held the trigger and laughed, "I did have my own demons… But you girls came to me for help."
Miyu nodded and said, "We're all friends. Please… let Ran go."
Aya then smiled and said, "Well, for what it's worth… I kind of did warn you not to take another step forward…"
She turned to Ran and shouted, "DIDN'T I?"
BANG!
Miyu watched in shock, as Aya smiled evilly with her handgun tightly held in her hand. She did the impossible: Ran Kotobuki is dead.
"Too late, Yamazaki," she said.
Miyu then sobbed, "No… Ran…"
Aya then smirked, as she got off of her, "And so ended the Super Gal…"
Miyu growled and cried, "No… you… you killed Ran… you… you… YOU BITCH!"
Aya threw a flash bomb at Miyu. It exploded and blinded her. Aya escaped in success. She called out to her from far away, "If you want to end this, meet me up on the roof! We'll settle this there!"
Miyu ran up the stairs, as Aya's cackles echoed through the building.
"Aya… I'll get you for this… I'll do this for the entire Kotobuki family! Ran! Yamato-kun!"

Elsewhere, Yuuya and Tatsuki confronted each other, holding their rifles at each other.
"Brother… I'm not here to hurt you," Tatsuki said, "This is ridiculous."
"Shut up, Monkey boy!" He yelled, "It's because of you that Ran and Miyu are alive and Otohata is dead! It's your fault that everyone I knew is dead!"
"Come on, bro."
"I'm not your bro! Now, shut up and die!"
"Oh, I see… is this about Ran Kotobuki again? Fess up, man… you did love her, right?"
"What? How did you know about that?"
"Oh, Machida Black knows everything about you. The way you were nervous for Ran on occasions, you'd just never confessed to her."
"Easy for you to say… I'm in love with Mami Honda, thanks to you! Although, I am grateful to be with her, it won't change the fact that your Ran's girlfriend!"
Tatsuki sighed, "Second Place, I think maybe I should make you feel better on this. How about we settle this with an old quick draw?"
Yuuya asked, "WHAT?"
He cocked his gun and said, "If you love her, then try to beat me to the punch. Win or lose, then my brother, you'd lose everything. You win, you get Ran, but you lost me."
Yuuya snickered and said, "Brother, you have been asking for this for a long time."
They both stood back-to-back and stood straight.
"Ten paces and we fire," Yuuya declared, "And NO funny monkeyshines! (Pardon my pun)"
Tatsuki snickered, "Oh, don't worry. I'll try and keep up. (And I forgive that remark)"
Yuuya then thought, "If I can beat him, I'll sweep off Mami from my back and focus on Ran."
He had a vision of his romance:
"Oh, Second Place," Yuuya mimicked Ran, "That was wrong of you to kill my boyfriend. What about Mami-rin?"
"Mami's dead now, Ran," Yuuya said, "But in his dying words, he told me to be with you forever."
"War makes everything better, Yuuya…" he mimicked.
"Now let's leave here, Ran-Chan."
"THIS IS IT! THIS HAS TO BE IT!" Yuuya cried in confidence; of course, he didn't know that Ran was killed already.
"On ten, and not a moment too soon…" Yuuya said, "Now…"
They began to walk from each other, walking ten paces.
1…
2…
3…
4…
5…
6…
7…
As they reached seven, Yuuya thought, "This is it, monkey boy. You had this coming for a long time."
8…
Tatsuki thought, "Second Place, buddy… I wish I'd know what's wrong with you."
9…
…
…
…
…
…
"TEN!" They both cried, as they turned around.
BANG!
BANG!
Both boys fired. The bullet went into each other. They both staggered in pain.
"You… you're not so bad." Tatsuki groaned, holding his wounded abdomen.
"You, too…" Yuuya croaked, holding his midsection, all bloodied.
"Well… I guess you won, brother."
"I guess now… Mami cannot marry me."
Yuuya laughed, as he then responded, "But… I'm glad you finished me off. Enjoy Ran-Chan."
"How can I?" Tatsuki griped, "You shot me!"
Yuuya realized it and said, "Oh… right. I guess it's a stalemate. For someone who used to love Ran Kotobuki, I guess there are consequences… for a guy… who has fought… for true love…"
"YOU? You love my Ran-Chan?" Tatsuki groaned.
Yuuya fell to his knees, before he could answer. He landed facedown.
"Rest in peace, brother…" Tatsuki whispered.
He fell in a seated position, by a blackboard. He started to laugh, as he was bleeding continuously.
"Ran… Second Place… I guess you guys are great, when it comes to friends. I'm sorry… Ran… I love you… Machida Black has… ended his… run… of love… and peace…"
He collapsed on the ground, still seated. He died.
A silence occurred, as both Tatsuki Kuroi and Yuuya Aso were in the room, dead.

At the roof, Aya was waiting for Miyu.
"I guess Miyu and I are the only ones left," she said, "And to think… I killed Otohata-kun and Ran, just to win this."
Miyu arrived, seeing Aya, staring at the full moon.
"Aya! How dare you?" She screamed, "First you killed Otohata, then you shot your fellow soldiers, now you killed Ran. My sweet Yamato-kun was killed earlier, all because of a foolish attempt of escape."
"I'm sorry to hear about Yamato. It wasn't my fault, though." Aya said.
Miyu screamed, "You bitch! You killed Ran! Do I forgive you? NEVER! You bitch! You'll die!"
She held up her gun and shouted, "THIS IS FOR RAN AND YAMATO-KUN! I 'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
Aya turned around and held up two handguns.
"Forgiveness isn't shit…" she said, and then cried out, "JUST SHUT UP AND FIGHT ME!"
She crossed up her arms in an X motion and sneered.
Miyu cried, "So be it!"
They began to exchange shots. Miyu fired her gun at Aya, but she dodged out of the way, hiding into the boxes. She fired back at Miyu, causing her to stumble. She hid behind the small wall, reloading. But as she reloaded her cartridge, Aya jumped down from above her.
"Stealth bitch!" Miyu cried, as she dodged out of the way and fired.
Aya dodged out of the way and went towards Miyu, who was firing back. Miyu and Aya kept firing at each other, dodging each bullet. Aya went behind the small stairway, while Miyu hid behind the crates. Aya growled, as she reloaded. Miyu kicked the gas can, sending it over Aya's head. Aya fired, and the gas can exploded, which engulfed most of the surrounding in flames.
"HUH? Why did she?" She thought.
Miyu jumped and fired at Aya. Aya jumped out of the way, into the fire. Miyu looked around, trying to find her, but she rushed back to safety, behind a wall of boxes. Aya appeared from the flames, reloading her handguns. She started to seethe and shot upward in the air.
"COWARD!" She hollered, "Don't you know that the grim reaper awaits you? There is no escape from death itself! Can't you see that?"
She stamp her foot and cried out, "YOU HEAR ME, YAMAZAKI? YOU'RE FINISHED!"
Miyu cringed and called to her, "There's no point fighting anymore. Miyu is sorry that this has been going on. But Miyu won't forgive you… for hurting everybody… including Otohata. Thanks to you… Yamato's dead!"
Aya gasped.
"Thanks to you, everybody we know is now dead. Everyone… And you and I are the only ones left. Miyu didn't want to die. But… when Yamato was killed and you murdered Ran, Miyu felt very angry. Why would you be so bloodthirsty? YOU'RE THE WORST PERSON I KNOW, AYA HOSHINO!"
Aya sighed and said, "Miyu… come on out… You and I have to finish this. What I did was out of revenge… but…"
Miyu cried out, "WOULD YOU EVEN HAVE THE GUTS TO KILL ME, AFTER KILLING REI AND RAN?"
Aya then ran off, hiding behind the crates. Miyu then growled and shouted, "ANSWER ME!"
Aya responded, "You try to kill me… then we'll talk."
"It doesn't matter. The chopper is arriving soon…" Miyu said, "You know that I'll escape soon."
"NO!" Aya cried out, "If anybody is going, it's me. You want to leave… you go through me."
Aya and Miyu loaded their gun and began to jump out. They ran in opposite directions and began to aim.
"One shot is all we have to do!" Miyu screamed, as she dashed away.
Aya hollered, "Good! I'm looking forward to blowing your damn head off!"
They ran off, and then confronted each other. They held their gun and…
BANG!
BANG!
Both girls fired, but Aya was shot in the heart. Miyu wasn't hit. Aya collapsed on the ground, in pain. Miyu went toward Aya, who was on the ground.
"So, we both fired. And yet, you didn't aim at me," Miyu said, "Why?"
Aya responded, "Because… because what I did… made me realize… that I cannot live anymore."
Miyu asked, "Huh?"
Aya sobbed, while bleeding from her mouth, "I may have done stupid shit, but this is the biggest. I killed my boyfriend… my best friend… and everybody I know well… When I heard that you lost your Yamato… it felt hurt…"
She leaked tears from her eyes, as Miyu winced, "But… why? Why didn't you shoot at Miyu?"
Aya replied, as she held Miyu's hand, "Because… you're my friend. When I realized that I killed Rei, it felt really bad. I… I wanted to see… see him… again…"
"Aya… no… I'm sorry… No!"
"Miyu… I'm so sorry… Forgive me for everything…"
Miyu sobbed, as Aya whispered, "Please…"
Aya's hand dropped and was dead. Miyu then cried on her, as she began to get up.
She hollered, as she picked up her dead body:
"AYA!"

Hours later, as the sun began to rise up, Miyu saw a chopper fly by. She signaled to it. The helicopter landed, as Miyu went toward it. Towa Himejima appeared and saluted to Miyu.
"Colonel Himejima," she said.
"At ease," Towa said, "So, where's Yamato and Ran?"
Miyu looked away in sadness. Towa then said, "I see… they didn't make it. Are there any survivors?"
"Miyu checked the perimeter… everybody's dead. Second Place, Tatsukichi, Mami-rin, Otohata… even Aya. They all fell…"
She placed her hands on her face and began to cry.
"Miyu lost everyone! Miyu's lonely!"
"Oh, there, there, Private. It's okay. What they went through was only a game. Sadly, they were only trying to survive. In life, there are winners… and then there are losers. I would say that everyone's a loser. You die… you lose. Miyu… you survived. But you lost everything in the process."
A montage showed each of the main character, laid out and dead.
Miyu wiped her tears and sobbed, "I don't want to live anymore…"
Towa giggled, "Oh, don't… it's okay. Cheer up! You have a bright future ahead of you. We'll return to base and we'll sort this out with hot chocolate. Okay?"
Miyu smiled and said, "Right."
"And, hey! Maybe I'll tell you Ran's secret! Now that she's dead, I might as well."
"Right, Colonel."
They went up to the helicopter and sat in their seats. The copter flew off, heading toward the sunrise. Miyu looked at the building from faraway, where they fought, and let out a tear.
"Yamato…" she whispered, "I'm sorry…"
"It's okay," Towa said, "All those fine GL guys and gals… came here for the dying. While those big wigs… those Japanese people… those guys, who are grounded in their offices, who never knew what a single bullet whizzing past their heads was like. We wanted to get them there; those people who live in their cozy homes, twenty miles behind the enemy lines. Who are they to tell us? Who are they, indeed?"
Miyu sighed, "War is hell…"
She prayed, "Rest in peace… all of you guys. Miyu misses you all."
The helicopter went off, leaving many memories for Miyu Yamazaki, the last survivor of this war game.
The End
Now let's head down to the wrap party.
Next time: The Epilogue.
