A/N: Glad everyone likes this operation, the first big operation of this series. by my calculations, there should be another two big ones. See if I can fit them in, or I'll down-size them to division level.

Angel Beats!

What We Live For

Operation 19

Carnival of Wrongs

Katsuragi look down at his... dress. Why... why was he in a dress? This... this did not make any sense.

He looked over to Yamato, who just put on the men's blazer like it was nothing. She also tied her hair up though in a different manner. Yamato noticed that Katsuragi was looking her way.

"Hm? Are you done already?"

She asked. Katsuragi looked down. A dress. Why... Why was this happening?

"... you look... like a pervert."

Katsuragi muttered off-handedly.

[Katsuragi received 999999999 damage]

[Katsuragi received 999999999 bonus damage to self-esteem]

"Ah, but we can fix that. You do have the wig they handed to you, didn't they?"

Yamato asked. Katsuragi was now sobbing in one corner, trying to comfort what was little pieces were the remains of his heart. He pointed over to the side of the room the Wolves were given to change in. On the table was the long wig Katsuragi was handed to change into. But he didn't want to use it. The shame.

"It's a pretty good wig, I'll give them that."

Yamato said, walking over and grabbing to slightly longer than shoulder-length hair wig before coming back and putting it on Katsuragi's head.

[Equip SSS2 Wig]

[ +50 magic defence]

[ +100 elemental defence]

[ Immunity to Petrify]

[ +10 % chance of counter]

Katsuragi did not even bother to question those weird upgrades in a simple wig.

"We need to put some make-up on you... Let's see... Your facial structure is quite light... we don't really need to put on that much make-up."

Yamato completely ignored Katsuragi's lack of participation or input as she put on the make-up on his face. In fact, Katsuragi was so out of it that he failed to notice his own new reflection in the mirror that was shown to him after Yamato was done.

"Ooo? Who is this cute girl?"

Iori said, coming over dressed in a girl's uniform as well as having a twin pigtailed wig on his head. He looked... like a professional transvestite. Pretty, but you know it isn't true.

"This is Katsuragi? This is quite some level. Yamato, were you some sort of make-up artist in your life?"

Iori asked once Yamato told him who the gender-bent sulking person in the corner was.

"No, I wasn't anyone like that, though at one time I did aspire to be one."

Yamato admitted before adding the final touches to Katsuragi's make-up.

"... There. Done. Here, Katsuragi, take a look for yourself."

Yamato said, forcing Katsuragi to look at his own reflection. For a moment, Katsuragi merely stared blankly at his own reflection, unresponsive. Then he suddenly reached out for his own reflection.

"Aaah... who is this pretty woman? Hello... how do you do? I'm Katsuragi, what's your name?"

Katsuragi smiled in a creepy manner as he caressed the mirror.

"... I think I made him a narcissist."

Yamato sighed.

"That is quite some skill. To make someone fall in love with himself. In the first place, I think he's lost it... how can he still do this with that creepy dead-fish-like expression?"

After getting Katsuragi to accept reality, which took quite some time and a few slaps to the face, Yamato and Katsuragi assembled together with the rest of the Wolves. Most of the guys were feeling disgusted with themselves and the girls were feeling disgusted of the guys who felt disgusted of themselves. It was a room of shame, more or less. The entire squad's morale was at an all time low coupled with complete and utter self-hate. Iori, one the other hand, felt quite excited about this Operation. Who knows why.

"Ahem, let me address all of you first that I do NOT have this hobby though I find the experience rather fun, don't you think?"

Iori announced to the squad. A low wave of murmurs went round the room. Most did not believe Iori when he said that.

"Really, I have a healthy male attitude."

That, most can agree. If the oddly cheerful leader of the Wolves wasn't trying to brighten the Wolves' room with celebrating shouts and parties, he would be groping and flirting with some of the female members of the squad. Yamato was not an exception though she grew accustomed to it and took an advice from Utada Mari, the Wolves' quest sorter. The advice was sticking a weapon, preferably a shotgun, into Iori's mouth whenever he tried something funny. Iori was a well respected leader, making good decisions and being an excellent fighter, though many had to question his character and personality.

He was seen outwardly as an easy-going guy with an over-flow of testosterone pervertedness, but he also had a dark and sadistic side to him. Katsuragi had heard that Iori was actually recommended by Kurogane Kou to Yuki to be the leader of the Wolves. He also heard that Kurogane Kou used to be part of the Wolves and was slated to be the leader of the Wolves as well as Taeno Yuki's second in command but apparently something happened as Kou ended up being the leader of the sixth division.

"Anyway, I'll repeat that I do not find this practice healthy, though I think I find myself pretty nice. Hello there beautiful, what are you doing later? Want to join me later in the cafeteria for some niku-udon and Key coffee? My treat."

Iori smiled, admiring his own reflection. Great, Iori's pervertedness had reached an all time high to actually hit on himself, or an all time low since he actually was hitting on himself. After awhile, Iori was forced to put away the mirror by Mari who pointed a rocket-propelled-grenade launcher at him.

"Going back to the mission, each of you will be dispersed into groups consisting of at least ten members. Most of you will be working in your groups as the sole Wolf member, but remember that you are Wolves. Let your fang will guide you. Each group will be assigned to a different part of the school. Remember the objective of this Operation. Cause confusion only. If a threat appears, retreat to the escape points as detailed in your maps. Your group postings are on the request board. Make sure you do not get it wrong. Right, dismissed."

"Don't look at me... I want to die... don't look at me... I want to die... don't look at me... I want to die..."

Katsuragi's silent ramblings to himself was starting to sound a lot like some sort of curse you would hear from a ghost in a haunted house. Yamato wanted to beat that personality out of Katsuragi but it was her beating that got him into this state in the first place. She did punch him to get him out of his narcissistic loophole of depression. The two headed towards their group's meeting point, which was actually at the front of Fort's building. The two of them were assigned, once again, to the same group. Group 25C, to be exact, had a large number of familiar names on it.

"Yo, Katsuragi, Yamato. It's been a while."

One familiar person who is on the list though he really shouldn't be.

[A scary monster appeared]

"What was that? !"

Ooguchi Daisuke walked over to the two, dressed in the same female uniform but with a twin pigtail wig and an unbelievable amount of make-up on his face. He looked like some horror show clown.

"... Who are you again?"

Yamato asked.

[Scary monster is enraged]

"THAT'S NOT THE FIRST TIME YOU SAID THAT TO ME!"

Daisuke shouted at Yamato, who ignored him.

"... Fine, be that way... Hm? Who's that pretty girl?"

Daisuke asked, pointing to Katsuragi.

[Katsuragi received 9999 shock damage]

"This is Katsuragi. Didn't you call him just now?"

Yamato raised an eyebrow as Daisuke went in for a closer look. A rather... long... closer look.

"... Really? I just called out both of your names because I knew we would be together and I saw you there. Still... Did you do this make-up, Yamato?"

"Yeah, so?"

"... I'm impressed. Katsuragi really looks like a girl... a cute girl at that too."

Daisuke admitted, with a sly perverted look on his overly powdered face.

"D-don't look at me..."

Katsuragi whimpered, trying to hide away, which only somehow increased his femininity ten folds and turned on some weird switch in Daisuke.

[Weird switch in Daisuke has been flipped]

[Daisuke activates 'pervert rage']

[ +999999 atk]

[ +999999 agility]

[ +999999 def]

[ -999999 sanity]

[ immune to all status effect]

Yamato took out a pistol and aimed it at the exact moment where Daisuke's head would be as he pounced onto Katsuragi.

[Daisuke is dead]

"Oh? Getting this busy so early in the operation?"

Two more familiar faces walked over. It was Todoroki Wataru from Alpha squad during the recruitment phase, as well as-

"Ayane?"

Yamato blinked to make sure she was seeing things correctly. Mitsuhide Ayane, the last member of Delta squad, nodded to Yamato. From what Katsuragi heard, Yamato and Ayane still kept in contact even after going to separate divisions. Something told Yamato that Ayane was someone that had more significance to Yamato than being just a friend. It was like... Yamato was projecting someone onto Ayane. But even though Ayane had figured that out, she did not mind having Yamato do that.

"So, you three are the representatives of Fort, am I right?"

A new voice said, making them them. Dressed in male uniform and having her hair tied up into a long tail, the girl approached them with a sort of 'school president' aura.

"Ah, Sakagami-san."

Wataru smiled, greeting the senior assault division member.

"I'm Sakagami Tomoyo from the assault division's main strike squad. I've been placed in charge of this squad, good to work with you."

Tomoyo smiled to the three Fort members.

"We will be waiting for members from Diversion and Guild. Intelligence division has decided not to grace us with any members for today. Not that I mind."

Tomoyo said, taking out a list that had all the names of the group.

"We have two from Diversion and one from Guild. An interesting choice of groups."

"None from the guardians?"

Wataru asked, earning him a punch to the head by Ayane.

"... No. The Guardians never work with any other squad."

Tomoyo answered, her tone slightly strained. Was there something about the sixth division that was bugging her? Katsuragi knew that the sixth division was widely feared and respected amongst the others, but there was something else about them. It was like the sixth division consisted of ghosts... Not only in reference to their own personalities, but rather how everyone else treats them. It was like each member in the sixth division was once a loved one to the rest of the organization. A loved one who was lost to them. As Katsuragi pondered on these things, they were soon joined by the rest of the group. The two from Diversion were people Katsuragi had never seen before. A guy and a girl going by the names of Haruhiko and Tochigaki Harumi respectively. The last member, the representative from Guild, was actually someone they knew.

"Kazu."

Yamato lowered her voice into a tense state when she saw him walking over to them. Kazu wasn't too keen on being in the same group as Yamato either as the days back during recruitment training was still fresh in their minds.

"Hmph, still the same as always, Yamato."

Kazu snorted, though he could not really be seen as a tough guy now that he was in drag. With almost no make-up at all, he was like a pervert who just stole some girl's clothing and put them on because it would give him pleasure. Just saying it was something like that.

"Alright, enough with this."

Tomoyo cut into their glaring contest before it got too wild.

"We're here to work together. Whatever differences you two had in the past ends today. If the two of you are unable to work together, I will personally see it that the two of you are unable to participate in this Operation or the next."

Tomoyo warned, her eyes showing just how serious she was. Ayane placed a hand on Yamato's shoulder, shaking her head to tell Yamato that it wasn't worth it. Yamato narrowed her eyes at Kazu before turning around, refusing to face him. Kazu shrugged off Wataru who tried to hold him back like Ayane did to Yamato, muttering something about a female dog.

"Right, since we're all on the same page... for now, I will debrief you all on the first course of action for our group."

Tomoyo said, taking out a piece of paper that probably had their orders.

"For our group, we're to take part in lessons for class 3-5. That would be in classroom building complex C. First lesson is... modern history."

Yuki stood by the window, overseeing the entire Operation as it proceeded. Despite being dressed in the male uniform, Yuki did not look any way different from usual.

"As expected of the Queen."

A voice said, joining her by the window. Ein, dressed in a somewhat tight fitting female uniform, was chewing on some grilled chicken as he leaned against the wall.

"... As expected of what?"

Yuki asked, her eyes still focused on the SSS2 members going about their orders for this Operation.

"Even dressed as a guy, you still have the presence of elegance and the nobility of royalty."

Ein's joke did not work so well on Yuki at the moment and the assault division's leader did not miss that.

"... The Operation is going well. The teachers and student council members are all in a state of confusion, but that isn't your concern now is it? Something else bothering you?"

Ein asked, fully prepared to take on another one of Yuki's outbursts. Yuki eyed Ein from the corner of her eye, then looked back out of the window.

"Nothing."

She replied simply.

"... If it is about that report, you should not be worried about it. I had a team tailing that guy's move for quite some time. If he ever touches the program, we will know."

"... What Tenryuu Shuusuke does is not of my concern at the moment."

"Even though that guy has not made a single move after 'that' incident. Why is he still a squad leader is rather questionable. Do you think Kenji has-"

"Kenji has nothing to do with Tenryuu Shuusuke, or 'that' day. And like I said, it isn't about him."

Yuki snapped, silencing Ein before he said too much.

"... This is... I have a bad feeling about this Operation."

Yuki admitted, turning her gaze back to the track field where the male SSS2 members were wearing bloomers and running around the field. It was... disturbing to watch.

"A... bad feeling?"

Ein raised an eyebrow.

"... Get all back-up squads on stand-by. Now."

Yuki gripped onto her beret, heading for the door.

"... Will we get to see the Queen make an appearance on the battlefield once more?"

Ein pondered, making Yuki pause at the doorway.

"... The Queen had never left the field in the first place."
