Erika awoke outside the school with a jolt, quickly looking around for Maho. "B-But I was inside… No way, how did I get out here?" Erika looked up at the school and swore she saw a figure in the window before it moved away. This caused Erika to stand up immediately and walk over towards the door. She was clenching her fists and shaking her head. "Stupid Ooarai School, thinking that they can get all funny with me. Well, I'll show them what happens when you mess with a girl from-". She stopped as she heard loud breathing from behind the door she was about to open. She let her hand go from the handle and tried to look inside. She sighed and shook her head once more. "Silly girls almost scared me though." Erika opened the door and saw a large figure with a black hood over his face. He held a large axe in his right hand a bloodied bag in his left. The breathing slowed down a bit as he stared straight at Erika. She simply laughed and walked over to the figure. "Nice rubber model girls, but that'll only scare little girls like you!" She slapped the man on the belly, for he was too large to slap his chest. It was very realistic feeling though, almost like he was real. Erika looked down to see that the bag was dripping with a red liquid as she looked up at the axe, which was dripping with blood too. She slowly looked up at the man, only seeing the eye slots in his hood. "Oh no… You're real, aren't you…? W-Well, you won't… Won't scare me…" The man lifted up the bloody bag and let it drop. Erika heard a loud thud, like someone's head hitting a surface. She looked down to see part of the head, its brown hair red and wet with blood. The man pointed to the bag. In a loud booming voice, he said "Open it." Erika began to back up slightly to find that the door was close and locked. She looked back down at the head kneeling down to pick it up. Her lips began to quiver and her eyes began to fill with tears as her body began to shake with horror. In her hands right now was the head of her friend, Maho. Her face seemed peaceful, signifying that she was sleeping. Then, Maho opened her eyes and looked into Erika's. "Eh, why are you…?" Erika let out a shrill scream as she looked back at up the man, who now had the head of a cute bunny. "Time for your tickling!" The man dropped his axe and made tickling gestures with his hands as he walked forward. Erika screamed as she saw the rest of the party behind the man, each one looking as though they had died from laughter. "NO! Get away from me, monster!" Erika ran past the man and into the hallway past her friends. She turned left to see her tank, her glorious Sturmtiger. She ran for it and climbed in the back, crawling through the small space to get to her commanding position and closed the hatch. It was dark inside, but it was still safe. She breathed a sigh of relief as she saw her crew members were already inside the tank. "Damn that Tiger! Mam', what do you want us to do!" One of her crew members asked. Erika was surprised that she was in the last match she was in. However, her competiveness got the better of her and yelled for her crew members to get her Sturmtiger into the small hole above Tiger. After a few minutes of trying to fit in, Erika finally squeezed into the opening and began to race for Maho. "This time, we'll win!" There was a light at the end of the tunnel as she charged forward. She saw Miho about to drift in the courtyard to get behind Maho's tank. "Not this time! Fire on the lead tank!" Erika said as she clenched her fist in victory. "Eh, I really don't want to." Erika's gunner just picked her nose and smiled. Erika twitched a little in her eye and tried to suppress her anger. She looked up to see that Maho was laughing as Miho was driving circles around her, flags leaping out of her tank with every shell Miho fired into her. "We tried guys! Good game, looks like my little sister is better than me!" Erika looked on in astonishment as she felt herself being pulled out of the tank. "Erika, didn't you hear? We lost, isn't that wonderful?" She watched as a large board appeared in front of her that had the big words LOSE LOSE was plastered on the board. Erika felt herself becoming smaller and smaller as Miho walked over to her. "Maho said I could keep you if I won! Come here, little Erika!" Erika began to run away, crying and yelling. As she ran, she heard mocking songs singing we lost as her team mates danced in circles. Erika looked back to see Miho's giant hand grabbing for her. Erika screamed as her vision faded to black.
"GAH!" Erika woke up with a jolt, looking around to see that she had fallen asleep in the school along with her friends. She saw Maho next to her sister, not even stirring after hearing Erika scream. She looked around to see that Anzu and Alexander weren't there. She looked down to see that she had been sweating a bit in her sleep. She looked up at a clock and saw that it wasn't even six yet and the sun was barely coming up over the horrizon. She looked for her hat and flattened it a bit, using it a small pillow, before lying down. "Just a dream… must've been the popcorn…"
Erika fell back asleep while Anzu and Alexander watched. "Told you they wouldn't see us, suggestions woke even when they're asleep." Anzu pushed out her lower lip and nodded. Erika was the third one to wake up from a strange dream and not notice Alexander and her. "I really hope you have the costume, it sounds cool." Alexander nodded in agreement as he looked over to see his large briefcase nearby. He knew that inside was everything he would need to perform this little experiment with. Anzu was just a plus so he didn't have to pay for test subjects or have his rivals nudging into his experiments again. "I got it in my briefcase, I texted my friend to bring over my axe and bag the night before. He'll be here around ten, so they'll need to be up by eight." Anzu sighed and walked away from Alexander, yawning a bit before getting sleepy eye. "Man, I should stay up all night like this." Alexander looked over at Anzu for a moment. "They say people who have been hypnotized feel like they just woke up from an eight hour long sleep when they finish. I could do that to you, if you want." Anzu shrugged a bit and then finally nodded. "Don't worry; it'll be just like going asleep." Alexander put on his glasses and looked over at Anzu. "Find a good place to lie down and sleep." Anzu went dead in the eyes and walked over to the group and plopped down. "I'll wake you in an hour or so, so just rest till then." Alexander looked out to the rising sun and smiled a bit. "Never got to look at the sun at this point of view. I envy you girls."
The girls began to stir slowly as they scratched their heads and stretched. "Oh my," Darjeeling said with a astonished tone, "did we fall asleep during the movie?" Miho stretched a bit and looked at her sister, who was scratching her head. "G-Good morning Maho." Maho looked to Miho and smiled. "Good morning, Miho." At that moment, Kay jumped up and walked over to the snacks. "I'm starving! Do we still have the birthday cake around?" Kay looked around to see that half the cake was still there, but with a note on it. She looked at the note and tilted her head to the side. "This cake tastes like ash now. Pfft, cake tastes like cake!" Kay took a slice off the cake and began to eat. Much to her dismay, the cake did taste like ash as she scrapped the remainder off her tongue into the trash bin. "Eww…" Katyushka ran straight for the toilet, pushing Yukari out of the way with Nonna walking behind her. Katyushka looked up at the door to the women's restroom and saw a note. "The toilet is alive? Stupid pranksters, I gotta go now!" As Katyushka ran in, she saw a poker table with five toilets sitting around it; each one was holding a pair of cards. "I'll raise four." One toilet said as it pushed over four chips. Katyushak simply stared at the toilets for a minute before they all looked at her. "If you wanna join," a toilet said, "it's a poop or a pee to buy in." Katyushka calmed turned around and walked out of the bathroom, calmly walking towards the men's room and using their toilets. Nonna looked at Katyushka as she walked into the men's room, thinking that she must have thought she was in the wrong room. Nonna looked up at the note and shrugged. As she walked in, she saw that a toilet was trying on a maid uniform. The toilet looked up and blushed; now trying to hide its shame. "N-Nonna, what are you doing here? I-It's not what it looks like; it's just for a job I just got!" Nonna looked on with an emotionless face as she walked out of the bathroom again. Nonna walked back into the main room and looked at her friends. "Don't judge it by its life choices." The group just looked at her in surprise, especially Kay. While this was happening, Mako and Hana found a note that had just floated down from above. "Your friend's face is a cute bunny rabbit? What do you thing that means MakoOOOOH!" Hana backed up from Mako, her face turned into a cute bunny rabbit. Mako also saw the same thing and blushed a bit. "So cute…" Hana blushed as well. "It's so adorable! Miho, look at Mako's face! Isn't she cute now?" "Me, cute? You're one to talk, look at you!" Miho just looked on as she saw Hana and Mako now rubbing each other's faces. "What in the world is going on here?" Kay was crying a bit when she walked over to Miho. She was holding open the trash bag, which had a note on it. "Sweet smelling, like freshly made candy." Kay looked at both Miho and Maho. "Trash isn't supposed to smell like this! Why does the cake taste like ash, yet the trash smell like pastries! This isn't fair!" Another note fell on Miho and Maho. They both took a look at it and read it out loud. "You are glorious leader of the people's revolution! Act like it dammit! But… We're not leaders of the Glorious Revolution, comrades!" Miho stood up and gave a stern look to Kay. Miho's calm demeanor was replaced by a strong Russian leader with a heavy accent. "'Dis smaells like pastry becas it is the people's will that it smells so! Isn't that right, Sister Maho?!" Maho stood up, her face still in her calm demeanor. "Da, Sister Miho. It is by the power of the people that this trash smells like freshly baked goods. Goods that were made by the hands of honest workers who must pay for the luxury of the king! Rise up, comrades! Take back your nation! For the Glory of the Mutherlaand!" Kay just looked at both Maho and Miho who were now crossing their arms and were talking in bad Russian accents. "I'm confused…" Just then, Yukari and Saori jumped up and looked at each other with malicious intent. Their faces were pressed up to each other, both having snotty expressions on their faces while Erika was trying to break it up. "You tryin ta muscle in on the Panzer Gang? Are ya punk?!" Yukari smugly smiled as she put her hands on her hips while Saori crossed her arms. "Damn son, I don't see none a ya gang symbols round these parts. Far as I see it, y'all in Girl country now, 'n y'all gonna get messed up if you don't back outta my face 'fore a put a cap in yo ass." Erika was trying to break up the two, now acting like some sort of American gangsters. "No! This town was a good place before you all moved in! Please, just be peaceful and leave our fine town alone!" Kay looked at Erika was a surprised face. She has never seen Erika pull of an innocent face before. Kay looked at Darjeeling, who was now trying to get away from all this weirdness. "Darjeeling! Wait for me!" Kay dropped the trash bag and ran out with Darjeeling. Just then, another note fell down in front of both Kay and Darjeeling. "The one on the right is submissive to the one on the left." Kay immediately looked away from the note. "No! If you read it, then you fall under it's-" Kay felt someone on her right leg and looked down to see Darjeeling hugging her leg. "I'm so sorry I read it, are you going to punish me now?" Kay just looked down at Darjeeling, who was a fine example of a free woman with standards, now was clinging to her leg like a lost child. "Darjeeling? Get off my leg." Darjeeling smiled as she did so and looked up at Kay. "Anymore orders for me, Kay deary?" Kay just looked back at the chaos that was enfolding in the room behind her. Nonna and Katyushka were now acting as though Nonna was a horse and Katyushka was an indian. "Let's… Just wait all this out…" Kay went back inside, found a chair, and just watched the spectacle for almost an hour.
