Dormitory

Sonia hastily backed away.

"Sayaka-san, this is wrong!"

This did little to put her off, as Maizono put her mouth into hers one more time.

Not good. My inhibitions… this is surely wrong.

Yet why do I feel so good when I'm with her, and her only?

Maizono gently retracted her kiss. Sonia gasped for breath. Each second passed slowly as they stared into each others eyes.

"You're beautiful, Sonia. You're the only one I ever wanted."

THE REAL WORLD: OUTSIDE HOTEL ZETSUBOU

"HAHA! WE REALLY HIT THE JACKPOT! YAMADA YOU'RE AMAZING!" Souda laughed as he eagerly flipped the page.

"This, now this truly is a masterpiece!" Hanamura dreamily stared at the illustration of the silhouette of Sonia being undressed.

Souda had led the others in a search for the doujinshi as soon as he left Hinata to his own devices. Soon, Kuzuryuu of all people found it among a row of shrubs, and eventually, some of whom required heavy persuading, all of them grabbed a copy.

"You know, Yamada could really make a killing with these." Mondo mused.

"Something wrong, Kuzuryuu?"

Kuzuryuu had stayed completely silent through the duration that he read the book.

"Oh, uh… nothing." Kuzuryuu said as a feeble attempt of bravery.

"Come off it!" Souda snatched Kuzuryuu's copy away.

"GIVE THAT BACK YOU SHITHEAD!" Kuzuryuu shouted as he chased Souda around.

"Ooh! Isn't this Pekoyama-san in her black thong? So you've got your eyes on her this entire time?"

Kuzuryuu turned beet red in embarrassment.

"OK! YOU'RE IN FOR IT! YOU'RE SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES TONIGHT!"

"Guys! We have an emergency here!"

The shrill voice of Kiyotaka Ishimaru put the boys back to their attention.

"Haven't you people forgotten?" He said in despair.

"Forgotten what?" Oowada asked.

Ishimaru rubbed his face.

"Don't tell me you forgotten. It's so typically irresponsible of you guys!"

There was utter confusion as they struggled to comprehend the meaning behind his words. What was it they had forgotten?

"YOU'VE FORGOTTEN THIS, YOU IDIOTS!" Ishimaru grabbed the comic and flipped to page 23.

"OWNING CHILD PORNOGRAPHY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE!" He screamed as he gestured to an illustration of Saionji and Fujisaki making out.

"That? Come on. I thought it was something serious." Souda rolled his eyes.

"WE'LL BE SKINNED ALIVE!"

"Calm down. Kirigiri-san won't scold us as long as we get the job done. And we're keeping watch outside for Tenshi outside Hotel Zetsubou, no? Hakuna Matata, amigos." Souda gave the thumbs up sign, and then returned back to his book.

ENTRANCE HALL DOORWAY:

WHERE THE HECK ARE THE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO BE OUTSIDE WHEN YOU NEED THEM?!

Hinata had already exhausted his first cartridge, and had just finished inserting his last one when Tenshi just entered the building.

'Shooting love shooting heart~' They had just begun the second chorus.

OH SHUT UP AND GET ON WITH IT! Hinata thought as he aimed for a headshot.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

And of course it turned out all of the three bullets were deflected by Tenshi in swift succession. Hinata fell on his back in his haste. She continued to move towards Hinata, brandishing the blade menacingly.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT!" Hinata screamed.

Surprisingly, the girl stopped.

"Before you stab me is this what you really want?" Hinata slowly asked.

"Firearms are prohibited in school." She whispered.

"… Yeah but aren't you going to give me a verbal warning first?"

"No." She said simply.

"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!" Hinata wailed.

"This, is all for the sake for a brighter future for you all."

Future? For our sakes?

"This might hurt just a little." She warned as she raised the blade.

Resigned, with his back to the wall, Hinata bowed. Well, that's that then. I'm dead.

"Hey you little creep, that guy's my subordinate."

BANG!

Hinata reeled in shock. Tenshi was shot squarely in the back. Both turned to get a look at their new assailant.

BANG! BANG!

Standing outside the entrance hall, Kirigiri fired another two shots towards the already wounded Tenshi. Tenshi reflexively rolled back and turned towards her.

I'm saved.

For a moment, both girls surveyed each other. The tension between the two was paramount.

Without warning, Tenshi's image vanished into thin air. Kirigiri instinctively sidestepped and evaded her attack from behind.

She's FAST!

"What do you call that technique again?" Kirigiri spat as she fired another round from her Glock 30.

"Delay." Tenshi easily ducked and kicked Kirigiri square in the chest.

Winded, Kirigiri took a few steps back, wheezing.

"TANAKA!" She yelled.

"INFINITY UNLIMITEDO FURAMU!"

The door to the infirmary burst open as Tanaka flew out.

"To challenge me, lost lamb? Huahahahaha! Prepare to rot into the depths of hell!"

Expertly, he launched a roundhouse kick towards her navel.

"Overdrive." She whispered.

Newton's First Law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either is at rest or moves at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.

Tenshi responded with a side thrust kick. The impact seemed to cause shockwaves to echo throughout the hallway.

Newton's Second Law: Force equates to Mass x Acceleration.

She struck outwards with her blade, and managed to impale Tanaka's outstretched left arm.

Tanaka screamed, as the bandages holding his arm together were slashed into pieces.

Kirigiri inhaled sharply. "This is bad."

Hinata looked up. "What's bad?"

"After getting wounded, he gets delusional… oh just look at him."

"Huahaha! Not bad, young one! But cased inside this prison of flesh is a sea of poison! HUAHAHAHA! PREPARE TO DIE, AND REVEL IN YOUR OWN STUPIDITY FOR DARING TO DEFY GUNDAM TANAKA!"

For a moment the room was silent, as Sonia in the distance belted out another line.

Slowly, Tanaka seemed to realize that his blood had little effect against Tenshi.

"Ku… To think that you have been cleansed with Holy water… A wise move! But I have bathed in the blood of Fafnir, and I am immortal! I have but one Achilles Heel, and it will take you years before you can even hope to-"

STAB.

"defeat me. I tamed the Devil's Pomerian, and his Chihuahua as well! In the vicissitudes of fate I-"

STAB. STAB.

"-gained companionship in the form of four heavenly gods of destruction! Now they reside within me, and they respect me, and fear me because I am-"

SLASH. SLASH. STAB. STAB. SLASH.

Tanaka toppled over, clutching his bleeding chest.

"I haven't the slightest clue what you are talking about." She said simply.

"Shouldn't we-"

"Nope. He's a goner." Kirigiri whispered back.

Tanaka attempted one more time to speak, but only managed to cough out blood.

"How unwise." Tenshi swung the blade one final time.

BANG!

A deafening gunshot rang across the hall as the blade shattered into pieces.

Kirigiri smiled.

"Took you long enough, Togami."

"It's only because you people are completely inadequate in taking care of yourselves."

Byakuya Togami emerged from the doorway, smelling faintly of smoke from the fired gunshot.

"The Smith and Wesson .500 Magnum, truly the king of kings of all pistols. In a normal environment, it would be overkill. However, we're not dealing with an ordinary enemy, aren't we?"

As if in retaliation, Tenshi yawned.

BANG!

This time, Tenshi avoided the Gunshot with her 'delay'.

"I could do this all day." Togami laughed.

"Unfortunately, Togami I believe the times almost up." Kirigiri said as she checked her watch.

"For what?" Hinata asked.

GYMNASIUM:

"Twinkle Twinkle Little star~"

Now. Oogami pressed the switch as she heard Sayaka sing the final verse.

As the crowd erupted into thunderous applause and cheering, the fans on each side began turning, and the students' meal tickets began fluttering out in the open. Like Confetti, coupons for Minestrone, Mapo Tofu, Lobster Paella and so many more flew out the open shutters of the Gym.

"Everyone, Thank you so much!" Maizono grinned!

Yes. I can live on like this! I CAN DO IT!

Outside Entrance Hall:

"Retreat! Mission complete!" Kirigiri breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do we do now?" Hinata asked.

"Help Tanaka up, and grab for the both of you a couple of meal tickets."

"Heh. What impunity. I don't need help from the likes of you worms." Tanaka wheezed as he shakily stood up. "For I, am TANAKA GUNDAM-" and promptly fell face flat.

As Hinata pulled Tanaka onto his shoulder, he grasped two tickets from the air and looked into its contents.

Pumpkin Soup with Peanut cream and Candied Walnut.

Beef Souvlaki and Tzatziki. Whatever that is.

"Togami, what did you get?" Kirigiri asked.

"Spaghetti Vongole with clams and scallops." He shrugged as he examined his newly-caught meal ticket. "You?"

"Negi Ramen. Come on. Back to the cafeteria."

As they ran, Hinata sneaked one final look back. The figure of Tenshi grew steadily smaller. Unexpectedly, irrationally, he felt pity.

Hey, she tried to kill you.

You shot her first.

She was coming close! I had no choice.

The two conflicting emotions argued all the way the rest of the journey beyond.

CAFETERIA:

Hinata had never seen anyone look so intimidating whilst eating Ramen, let alone Kirigiri.

Souda, Kuzuryuu, Hanamura, Oowada and Ishimaru (EVEN YOU?!) sat hunched across Kirigiri, trying to ignore their own hunger as they watched the others eat.

As Hinata chewed his beef souvlaki (Greek kebabs, it turned out), he smiled as Pekoyama sneaked a Burger onto Kuzuryuu's hands when Kirigiri wasn't looking. In the corner, Fujisaki was trying to keep warm her Pepperoni Pizza as she timidly attempted to approach Kirigiri's table.

"FUJISAKI NO FOOD MEANS NO FOOD." Kirigiri snarled.

"I understand." Still, she took the remains and shuffled back into the dormitory.

"So… this is the worst run of operation Tornado we ever had. Anything you have to say about that?"

Ishimaru: I'm deeply sorry and ashamed for committing such a felony, and I humbly plead for your forgiveness.

Oowada: Dude. Stop sucking up and give it to her straight. We'll accept the consequences.

Kuzuryuu (burger in mouth): Shakes head

Hanamura: It was Souda's idea?

Souda: I have no regrets!

Kirigiri finished her Ramen and started finishing the remains of her broth.

"Putting Hinata in danger when you ignored your duties is irresponsible and will not go unpunished. Not to mention, Tanaka is heavily injured." Kirigiri mused.

"Huahahaha. The great Tanaka Gundam will always recover." Tanaka was having great difficulty in drinking his soup.

"Let me help you, Tanaka-san." Sonia took the spoon from Tanaka, scooped some soup, gently blew and offered it to Tanaka. He thought in silence, then reluctantly opened his mouth and accepted the food.

Souda's heart began repeatedly tearing itself into two.

"I hereby dole out the following punishments. Ishimaru, you shall run 20 laps around the school and will not be allowed to eat, drink or sleep until you finish it."

Ishimaru bowed. "Will do!"

"Oowada, I'm confiscating your bike keys."

"NOOOOOOO!" Oowada wailed.

"Kuzuryuu, you shall- ARE YOU EATING WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU?!"

Kuzuryuu hurriedly swallowed. "No ma'am."

"For lying, eating, and disregarding your duties, you shall be made to finish this bottle of vodka by tomorrow morning, in true Gangster fashion." She took out a paper sack, where a liter bottle of Absolut stood.

"Kirigiri, you know I can't stand that stuff-" He stopped as Kirigiri gave him one of her evil eyes.

"Hanamura shall abstain from eating for the next day. And as for Souda, you shall-" Kirigiri stopped as Souda began sobbing uncontrollably.

She turned to where Souda was looking and smiled. "Ah, love." With that, she turned back to the dorms, clearly satisfied.

Hinata returned to his plate. The few days he'd been here proved to be the most wackiest and exciting he had ever experienced.

These guys, they're not so bad I guess.

But then again, I wonder if there is any meaning to all of this?

He let his mind wander.

Screw that. Let's focus on the beef.

5th floor: Student Council Room.

Tenshi sat in silence. As she chewed a stick of gum, her hands continued to fly across the screen, matching the notes together with perfect precision and synchrony with the music.

Hinata Hajime. He's fitting in well. Good to know.

As the music finished, the words MILLION MASTER flashed across the screen of her tablet.

CLAP. CLAP. CLAP.

She spun around. A figure obscured in the dark corner of the room stared back at her.

"Not bad. You million mastered 'Freedom Dive'. Now if only life was a game you could conquer just as easily."

"Then it would be meaningless, wouldn't it?" She asked.

"Some argue that Life is indeed meaningless! Accept that reality, and we become happier in nature!"

Tenshi shook her head.

"I disagree."

"Yeah, thought you would. So what did you call me for?"

Tenshi tossed a student folder over.

"I'm thinking we can begin with her."

The figure stayed silent whilst reading.

"Do I have permission to proceed?"

"Go ahead. Someone has to be the first, I guess."

The figure stood up and straightened his jacket, and laughed.

"I look forward to attending Sayaka Maizono's final performance." With that the figure exited the room.

HEY GUYS! TO THE PEOPLE WHO'S BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO READ THIS FANFIC, THANKS A LOT! THINGS HAVE BEEN PRETTY CRAZY WITH CHINESE NEW YEAR AND ALL THAT JAZZ.
