Finally, the next chapter of this fanfic is here! This is my first time writing action sequences, so, please give me some criticism. It'll help me write better.
After the orientation, the six girls were at a loss of how to react to the principal's speech.
"Damnit! I was hoping to beat up some mutants in my extremely cute combat armor, but noooo, the principal said that we must participate in field missions," Tomo complained.
"Tomo, there's no use in complaining," Yomi said.
"Besides, if the principal heard your complaints, he'll just say ' Tomo, rules are rules.'," Kagura added.
"Field missions, what are those?" Chiyo asked.
"Field missions are missions where magical girls go out to the mountains around here and fight mutants," Kurosawa-sensei explained, " You six, follow me to the simulation room, I'll explain more once we're in."
The six girls then follow Kurosawa-sensei to the simulation room. The room was large, the ceiling being at least 50 feet off the floor. The only window in the room is a window to the mission control room, which has teachers wearing headsets and working on computers.
"Ok girls, remove your Transformation Braces," Kurosawa-sensei commanded, "They're not necessary for these types of missions. But, you can keep your wands."
The girls remove their braces and give them to Kurosawa-sensei. The older woman then enters the mission control room, sitting next to Yukari.
"So, Yukari," Kurosawa said to her old friend, " Are you worry about your students' wellbeing?"
Yukari then sighs and drinks some beer. "Nyamo, they're going to be fine!" she said.
"Yukari, do have any tact?!"
"Sure I do, Nyamo, sure I do!"
"Ok," Nyamo sighed.
In the simulation room, a machine lowered from the ceiling, focusing its aim at the six girls.
"What is that thing?!" Tomo shouted, pointing her finger at the machine.
"This machine will put on your field uniforms," Nyamo explained, talking over the PA system in the room, "Once your uniforms are put on, the simulation room will turn into the location that you all are assigned to and once you walk 5 feet from the machine, you'll be transported to that location."
"Ain't that thing goin' to kill us?" Osaka asked.
"Don't worry, Ayumu," Nyamo assured, "This machine will just apply your field uniforms."
"Okay, prepare for uniform materialization..." a male teacher said, his finger above the activation button, "... in 3,2,1, NOW!"
He then pushed the button, cause the machine in the simulation room to fire a beam of white light hits the six girls, blinding them in the process.
After the light fades, the girls find themselves in the evergreen montane forest near Tokyo, all of them now wearing black tank tops, utility kilts, and steel-toed hiking boots.
"Where are we?" Chiyo asked, looking at her surroundings.
"We're 60-ish miles away from Tokyo," Yomi answered, "Somewhere in the Japanese Alps."
"So, we're hiking," Tomo said, "'Cause I don't like hiking in the mountains, where you know, kamaitachi live and slash you into-"
Yomi glared at Tomo.
"Ok, ok, I'll stop complaining," the wildcat idiot said, "You're such a killjoy, Yomi."
The girls hike through the forest, trying to find a mutant to fight (or wait until the mutant comes to them). Chiyo was getting exhausted from the hiking, after all, she's 5 years younger than the rest of the group and less developed.
"Can you walk a little slower?" Chiyo panted, trying to catch her breath, " I'm starting to get tired."
Sakaki then stopped to see Chiyo on the ground, panting from the exhaustion. Feeling pity for the little girl, she decides to give Chiyo a piggyback ride.
"Thank you very much, Sakaki-san," Chiyo thanked the tall girl, who didn't respond at all to the little girl's gratitude.
Tomo noticed Chiyo on Sakaki's back. "Say, Yomi, wanna give me a piggyback ride?"
Yomi glared at Tomo again.
Then, from out of nowhere, a vine suddenly launched towards the group. Sakaki sees her mascot's eyes blinking red, and knows what to do. She pulled out a ballpoint pen, clicking the top, causing the pen to transform into a pump-action gun. She aimed at the vine and pulls the trigger; the gun firing a blast of energy towards the vine, causing it to disintegrate.
"Sakaki-san, what happened?" Chiyo said, unmounting from Sakaki's back to see what happened.
Yomi then looked at the burned-up remains of the vine. "Yep, that's a mutant. A plant mutant to be exact."
"What's next, a mineral mutant?" Osaka chimed in.
Soon, all of the girls' mascots' eyes started to flash red as they start to follow the trail left by the vine, the girls following them. When the mascots stopped, the girls were in for a shock. The vine that Sakaki shot came from a hideous plant mutant with hundreds of tentacle-like vines and a huge mouth-like structure. The thing roared at the girls, causing Chiyo to whimper but the rest of the girls are unfazed.
"Finally, something to fight against!" Tomo said, pulling out a pink and blue microphone, "Here I go!" She then throws the microphone in the air; the mic elongating and splitting in half while in the air. She caught two blue rods in her hands, and then, the rods produced scythe blades made out of pink electrical energy.
The plant monster sents its vines towards the group, but Tomo dashed towards the vines and-
*SLASH*
The diced-up bits of vines dropped to the ground.
"You daughter of a- you should've been cautious with that attack, Tomo!" Yomi scolded, but Kagura put her hand on Yomi's shoulder.
"Let her have it," the dark skin girl said, pulling out a blue magatama amulet, "Besides, I'm itching to kick some mutant ass!"
"Count me in as well," Osaka added, pulling out a pair of disposable chopsticks.
"Ok, fine," Yomi said, pulling out an inedible taiyaki, "Let kill this beast!"
Yomi then splits the taiyaki in half; the halves turning into a pair of tekko-kagi. Kagura's amulet glows, transforming into a blue and white spear with a handlebar below the blade. And Osaka neatly splitting the chopsticks, causing them to turn into butcher knives.
"Sakaki, protect Chiyo-chan for the vines," Yomi commanded, "The rest of us will attack these vines until we can reach the core and destroy it."
The monster sends more vines at the group, and the three girls charge at them. Yomi slashed and torn the vines apart. Kagura jabs the other vines, but when one vine rapidly jumped towards her, she reacts by pulling down the handlebar, causing the blade on the spear to open and shoot a beam of energy at the vine. Osaka meanwhile stabs an incoming vine… and repeatedly stabs that one vine over and over again.
"Uh, Osaka-san," Chiyo said, "You know that other vines are attacking us!"
But Osaka's too focused on that one vine. "Naw, Chiyo-chan," She said, "Too busy stabbin' this one vine."
Meanwhile, in the control room at the school, the teachers are seeing the battle unfold. But one teacher, a man with fogged-up glasses and dropped jaw, is displeased.
"Hmf! This is not good!" the man said, "The girls are not fighting in the correct outfits."
"Mr. Kimura, you know that the urban uniforms are not practical for these field missions," Nyamo said.
"But, I like those frilly and skimpy outfits!" Kimura retorted.
All of the other teachers stared at Kimura. He was then locked out of the room.
"No fair," the creepy teacher said, "I didn't get the chance to-"
All of the sudden, the building shook. Kimura-sensei saw outside the window, seeing a gray, giant cat mutant attacking the school grounds.
"AAAAHHHHH!" Kimura screamed, "The school's under attack! I got to get help! But, everybody is busy with their missions. So I'll go get those girls!" He snatched the six Transformation Braces of our favorite six girls and runs off.
Back to the forest, the five older girls surround Chiyo-chan as they're still warding off the vines of the plant mutant.
"Gee, this plant can't stop attacking!" Tomo said, slashing the vines in the process.
"It's like this weed couldn't give up!" Kagura added.
Meanwhile, a vine creeps towards Osaka. "Oh, hello there, Mister Vine," the ditzy girl greeted, but the vine slowly wrapped around her. "Are ya huggin' me?" Osaka asked, but the vine lifted her in the air.
"Hey Osaka, are you-" Tomo was about to ask Osaka before she noticed that Osaka's gone, "ACK! Osaka, where are you?!"
"Hey, y'all!" Osaka called, "I'm flyin' without pigtails!"
"Are you crazy?!" Yomi screamed, "That vine's going to kill you!"
And on queue, the other girls (except Chiyo-chan) were entangled by the vines.
"Sakaki-san, Tomo-chan, Yomi-san, Osaka-san, Kagura-san!" Chiyo shouted.
"Chiyo-chan, use your wand," Sakaki spoke.
"But Sakaki-san, my wand can't transform!"
"Chiyo-chan, you got to believe in yourself. Then, your wand will respond to your heart and transform."
"I got it!" Chiyo then pulled out her wand and closed her eye.
A vine was about to catch Chiyo but in a nick of time, her wand glows, causing it to turn into a bow and arrow and disengaging the vine in the process.
"So, this is my wand's true power," Chiyo said in awe. Then she spots the core of the mutant, pulls back the bowstring, and let go, shooting an arrow at the mutant.
The arrow hit the mutant's core, causing it to explode, dropping everybody else, covered in green goo.
"EEEWWWW, I'm covered in this slime!" Tomo cried.
"Actually, this slime is kinda nice for yer skin," Osaka pointed out, rubbing the slime on her face, "Nice 'n slimy, just like a sea slug."
"Still Osaka, it's gross!"
"Will you stop whining, Tomo?" Yomi said.
Sakaki looked at Chiyo and gave the little girl a face of approval. "Thank you, Chiyo-chan," she said softly, "Thank you for saving us all."
"Yes yes, a nice and heartwarming moment," Kimura said.
All of the girls noticed Kimura's sudden appearance and promptly freak out. "Kimura-sensei, what are you doing here?!" all of the girls asked.
"I'm here to pick you all up. The school is under attack by a cat mutant, and everybody else is off on their missions, so I grabbed your Transformation Braces and somehow got here." Kimura then gives the girls their braces back. " Now hurry!" he shouted, "Get on to the cart!"
The girls got on the cart, and like a maniac horse that ate too many carrots, Kimura dashed off.
After a long trip, the cart of high school girls finally reached the school grounds; the girls getting off the cart. Many students were running away from the cat mutant, who is chasing them like mice.
"Yuka-chan, Miruchi-chan," Chiyo said worriedly
"Don't worry, Chiyo-chan," Sakaki said, "They'll be alright."
"Well, guys, the moment has finally come!" Tomo said.
"Oh yeah! That moment!" Kagura added.
"The moment that the readers were waitin' ever since the author started to write this," Osaka said, breaking the fourth wall.
"Huh?" Yomi sweatdropped.
"Oh, nothin'."
"Everybody, let's go!" Tomo shouted.
All of the girls lined up, and then, it is time:
"CHAKUSO, HENSHIN!"
And now to explain why I gave each girl their weapon:
Chiyo: I gave her a bow since I don't see her as a fighter, more like support for the team, so I gave her a bow for that reason.
Sakaki: Actually, it was ComaradeSakaki's idea to give Sakaki a pump-action gun, but in the cannon anime and 4koma, she is very good with firearms, so it makes sense to give her a gun.
Tomo: Come on, give the Genki girl a pair of energy scythes, it's cool.
Yomi: I gave her tekko-kagi due to the cannon anime and 4koma has shown that Yomi's got good upper body strength, so it makes sense to get her clawed knuckles to make her uppercuts and double chops more deadly.
Osaka: Osaka and butcher knives. The joke writes itself.
Kagura: Come on, give the most athletic girl of the group a spear with a railgun attached, it's cool. Also, it will balance out the group's fighting style, with two long-range fighters (Chiyo and Sakaki), two close-range fighters (Yomi and, somehow, Osaka), and two mid-range fighters (Tomo and Kagura)
Also, it is Mr. Kimura who saves the day. WHY?! T_T
So, read and review!
