Early Saturday, the Hero team is about to travel to private resort for training:
´´Okay, the young girls behind and the adult in Front´´- Aki speaking to Washio, Sonoko and Gin, in her Van.
´´But Sensei, LaPu is sitting in your side´´
´´ She count´s as adult´´
´´I´m not that Old! ´´- frustrated.
´´You already did pretty adult's things, Ahem…´´- the teacher blush slightly, La Pucelle look to the window.
´´Souta…what you do with Sensei Yesterday night? `´- Sumi with a look of suspicious
´´Don´t make these things awkward, Washio! ``
´´Awkward for what, Sou-chan? ´´- Gin talking in her ear.
´´Eeek! Giiin! ´´
´´The travel continue calmly with us playing a mobage creating a guilt, Sonoko read part of her writings and Gin discussing asking help to make a special present for her little brothers, knowing that she´s Nee-san explain why she play with us, ironically not so mature compared to Washio who is only child:´´
When they arrived to the resort, they first training consist on catch ball shooting by a machine with the weapon:
´´Sonoko you make only 3 catch after 10 shooters´´
´´Sensei this actually harder than fight Vertex´´
´´Is had to be, you´ll be ready to more difficulties conditions´´
´´Sonoko work better on defensed anyway, now leave this for the principal on offensive here´´- Minowa pointing to herself. After complete her turn:
´´Gin make eight of ten, very good´´
´´I know! ´´ - proudly.
´´Still not perfect score like Washio´´
´´To be fair I just need to hit them´´
´´So for our next training…´´
´´Sensei, won´t LaPu be test too? ´´
´´Is kind of irrelevant since her entirely body is magical´´
´´Aki, I don´t mind, apparently they really want to see me being hit by balls´´- with an irony tone.
´´I don´t want to see you get hit, I think´´
´´Sonoko, you instead saying this? ´´
´´Haha, Sou-chan you´re being trapped in her jokes´´
´´Okay, but without using your sword´´
´´So my test happened, face the machine was more intimidate than I thought since it was like canon, however, and old instinct wake up on me see my foot raise kicking the ball, colliding with the next ball: ´´
´´WHOA, this was like an Ace of soccer will make´´
´´That´s is true…eh? ´´- being hitting by a ball.
´´I knew she´ll get distracted…´´- sighted
Her score was nine of ten. The training continued with the girls pushing weighs, practicing with others weapons and running around a hill.
´´Finally, our first day of camp is over´´- Gin caressing the shoulder.
´´So even you get tired by this training´´
´´I can´t help, Aki-sensei specially insist on me´´
´´Probably testing your stamina, compared to our friend…´´- see that was carrying in her back a sleepy Sonoko.
´´She will normally sleep by half of the travel but she really talk with Sou-chan´´
´´Should I feel guilty? ´´
´´For how you see happy carrying her…maybe´´- with irony tone.
´´Sonoko been fan of magical girls make I connect with her, remember me Koyuki when she was still innocent: ´´
Hours Later in the Hot Spring.
´´Come on, LaPu, get in the water with us! ´´- Sonoko, only with a towel, were pushing her who were trying to resist.
´´Sonoko, this is too inconvenient for me! ´´
´´Not fair, Washi told me you bath with her once and I suspect with Aki-sensei too´´
´´B-but…´´- to her surprise Gin take her hands and pull on her to the water.
PLASH!
La Pucelle emerge seeing her towel floating
´´See, wasn´t that hard´´- Washio as in her side.
´´Washio, you could help me there…´´
´´True, but is more fun seeing you on trouble´´ -smudging
´´Washiooo…EEEK! `´- Getting caught by Gin and Sonoko.
´´Your skin is soft, that´s the reason that Sonoko like touch you so much´´- Gin grabbing her arms.
´´Gin take care where you touch…EEEAK! ´´- Feel that Sonoko grab her too.
´´True, even your tail is so Soft´´
´´Sonoko, if you touch me like this I… EEEAK! ´´
´´You made so funny sounds, Sou-chan´´
Washio looking the girls playing, slowly submerge into the water.
´´Ah, someone coming to us! ´´
Washio appear grabbing La Pucelle from her front.
´´Isn´t you enjoying so much be touched, Souta? ´´- with a serious glared.
´´Washio, you´re too close… (I can feel her breath and her chest pressing mine)´´
´´Enough girls, stay here calmly or go to sleep already´´- Aki just entering to the water, with the fours girl looking fixedly her figured.
Washio glared back to the Knight.
´´So you prefer adults woman, eh? ´´ - she tinkles her in the belly.
´´Washi…ahaha…washi… haha…´´
´´I want to make her laugh too´´- Sonoko massaging the tail.
´´I won´t be behind´´
´´My student are just brats´´- sighted.
Hour later, the team were in the room preparing to sleep:
´´It was fun for our first day´´- Sonoko wearing a pajama of chicken.
´´True, if only tomorrow be the same but if will be dedicated for our summer lessons´´- pounding
´´Study is always a priority for us´´
´´But you probably will forgot mostly your study anyway´´
´´Souta, don´t teach them so irresponsible things´´
´´But is true Washi´´
´´ Applicant writer like you shouldn´t think this way…´´- sighted.
´´So, changing of subject, girls talk about romance in this nights´´
´´I wasn´t expecting that subject from you´´
´´Come on Washio, beginning from you, do you had someone you like? ´´
´´Aah? Not really (I think), what about you Gin?´´
´´Well, since I like to care of my little brother, I was planning become a bride…´´- joining her two index finger, blushing slightly. Washio and Sonoko look to her with surprise.
´´Well, I like everyone here!´´
´´Not in that sense, Sonochi, now the one who is being quite…´´
´´Me? Should I really answer? ´´
´´ Don´t try to run, Sou-chan´´- Gin was her behind to avoid La Pucelle run to other side.
´´I know is private but this night is this for stuffs´´
The Knight look to Sonoko who eyes were shinning.
´´ Apparently I don´t had escape…mhh… I do date girls in the past…´´- blushing, there is silent for a moment.
´´On plural? ´´
´´Incredible, LaPu! ´´
´´Ahaha, I was expecting you confessed some old crush, but I know that boys date sooner…´´
´´It- it was when I already was a girl´´- nervous.
´´WHAU! This really happened beside the fiction! ´´
´´Sou-chan, you´re exotic person´´
´´ Ouch, I knew this awkward moment will happened´´- lamenting.
´´Washi, are you still with us´´- notice that she was submerge on her thoughts.
´´AH! Don´t mind me….how far you go with them? ´´ - blushing in this question.
´´Eh, well….until we become one´´ - don´t facing them.
´´Oh, so that why you get so sensible in the hot spring´´
´´Sorry, Sou-chan´´
´´Don´t need, I don´t dislike´´
´´Sure you don´t, Souta´´- with a serious voice.
´´MOOH, let´s sleep already! `´
Little after the girls were apparently sleeping, Washio stay awake a little more watching La Pucelle sleep:
´´ You´re not so old than us but already had quite life, isn´t it? ´´- whispering.
Visiting Madoka:
´´It was a calm week, didn´t? ´´
´´ Yes, I kind of wishing they attacked frequently so I could help you more´´-
´´Don´t overdoing, you and I know the risk´´
´´I know, but also the feel of can´t do anything I wish´´
´´But a less you´re doing the best, like lying in my lap´´´
´´Ah, I can´t complying about this´´- accommodating in her legs.
´´I like to spoiled you, after all´´
Minutes Later.
´´LaPu, LaPu´´-
´´Sonoko? ´´- wake up.
´´Vertex! ´´
´´Just when I thought about them´´
Minutes later:
´´Eeeh? Isn´t them too many? ´´ Gin shocking seeing a troop or Vertex, in form of small nutcracker dolls.
´´For what I can count is around of 100´´
´´Washi is good on math as always! ´´- then Sonoko jump from behind after La Pucelle shield for a shoot of the dolls. ´´Thanks, LaPu´´
´´You´re welcome´´- smiling and the blondie smile back- ´´Actually this attack was useful, I feel far weaker than previous Vertex´´
´´So maybe that´s the reason for the big number´´
´´So I can fight in my fullest´´- raising her arms with a sword.
´´So, let´s advance attacking on different fronts´´ - they agree, running on different directions while the dolls were shooting, Sonoko shield herself for an instant but notice is possible to dodge efficiently.
´´ORAAA! ´´- Gin been the first to destroy one of the Vertex, it disintegrate in the moment it was decapitate. La Pucelle destroying the second by a strong swing of the sword. Washio arrow destroy twice. Sonoko lance pierced two at once.
´´This is been quite easy´´
´´Too easy to be true´´- Washio still prudent even though she turn down dozen of enemies, the battle continue and the number of doll was reduce drastically.
´´Everyone, look´´- the leader point to something in form a cave, the dolls come out of there and the number increase. ´´That´s probably the true Vertex´´
´´Now we know who to fight´´ - Gin continue slaying the dolls, but even after get use to enough to attack we just the necessary strength the number don´t reduce.
Fifteen minutes later.
´´COME ON, THEY BLOCK OUR ADVANCE! ´´
´´Calm down Gin, just focus in your fronts´´- keeping her composure but her fingers was already hurts by how much she use the arrow.
´´Everyone let´s retreat for an instant! ´´- the order take Washio and Gin by surprise, but not for La Pucelle.
´´Any plan, Sonochi? ´´
´´I´m don´t but LaPu…´´- the three girls look to her.
´´I see this a good opportunity to use one my power´´
´´We talk about them before but are you sure, because the side effects your mention? ´´
´´I can deal with them, now I´m worried that these guys could overcome us´´
Suddenly Sonoko jump to shield them against a rain of shoots.
´´They´re annoying persistent! ´´
´´LaPu, use the power that convenient you´´
´´I need time´´
´´Not Problem!´´- Gin back to the offensive in a high speed, the dolls breaking like woods. Sonoko join, Washio stay:
´´I covered you´´- her arrow shoot, the knight smiled and take long breath.
´´This is bad civilization´´- whispering, she raised her sword above her head.
Minutes pass and the girls keep fighting:
´´Ouch! .YOU BASTARD´´ - a shoot make scratch Gin face who just make her angrier,
The injured was still few but they tiredness is making they lose they efficiency. A group of nutcracker shoot continually against the girls, Sonoko block the attack and with big effort, she pierced them.
´´Sonochi! You look awful´´- Gin carrying her friend.
´´Hehe, sorry but It was time enough…´´- looking back she see La Pucelle holding some sword make by a rainbow, knowing that she need to get out.
´´Look powerful´´- Washio shaking a little.
´´I agree but I can barely handle, this sword is so heavy but Altera always swing so easily:´´ La Pucelle point the sword to the troop, as soon Gin and Sonoko back to her side, she shout:
´´PHOTO RAY!´´- like a rocket she flying in the enemies direction, a cyclone form in the sword like a cone, the closer nutcracker burns and the rest were disintegrate by impact wave, until hit the cave disappear in light and then an explosion, leaving a path of red ashes. The girls were open-mouthed.
´´INCREDIBLE! LaPu is really something!´´
´´ I never see something so destructive, even by the Vertex´´
´´Souta…WERE´RE YOU?´´- Washio run with worry after don´t see her comrade, the other girls fallow, the hot make they slow down except for Sumi, passing for a smoke she see the familiar figured. The knight was knee down holding herself in her sword:
´´Good, I thought you disappear..´´- as soon she approached of her comrade, she faint, Sumi hold her -´´ You´re burning! ´´
´´Sorry…Washio´´
Later, La Pucelle wake in the camp room:
´´Good morning, Souta´´- Aki was there.
´´ Aki! Hi, …how much I sleep? ´´
´´The rest of the night, the girls are making the breakfast´´
´´Only hours? This is less than before and without talk with anyone:´´
´´We will need to talk about that power you use, but before…´´- Soon she open the door, the girls enter.
´´LAPU!.´´ -Sonoko jumping to hug her.
