That evening the tennis club members headed for their club activities as usual. The first years were made to pick up balls and practise their swings while the second and third years held practise matches. The regulars paired up with each other to play doubles. The first match was between the Golden Pair and Emerald Pair. The referee was Shusuke Fuji. "Let the game between Kikumaru-Oishi pair and Inui-Kaidou pair begin. It's Inui's service."
"I have all of your data from your past matches. It'll be interesting to see you lose," stated Inui.
"Nya～no way! Just because you have some data doesn't mean you can win!" cried Kikumaru. "Oishi, let's show them what the Golden Pair is all about!"
"Of course, Eiji!" said Oishi, fistbumping his partner.
Inui sent a speed serve towards the middle of his opponents court. As expected, Kikumaru returned the shot. Kaidou hit it back and Kikumaru countered with his acrobatic play. However, Inui predicted the course and sent the ball flying towards a corner where neither Oishi nor Kikumaru could reach it.
"15 - Love" announced Fuji.
"Nya～ They scored. We'll get back at them!" said Kikumaru irritatedly. "Eiji" called Oishi. The cat-like boy caught his partner's eye and nodded. They took up the Australian formation. When Inui served in the middle, Kikumaru returned. Kaidou used his snake technique. Though unable to reach the ball, Kikumaru smiled. Behind him, Oishi dragged his racket and scored a point with his Moon Volley."
"15 all" announced Fuji, a smile on his face as he spotted Tezuka and Momoshiro watching the match outside the court.
The match between the two doubles pair was quite intense. Moreso since Inui and Kaidou seemly entered Synchro like the Golden Pair. They each had 6 games and were on to the tie breaker.
"Hmmmm... Things have become quite interesting. I wonder who will win?" thought Fuji. The scores became 5-6 with the Golden Pair having the advantage. The game ended with the Kikumaru beam, score 5 - 7.
The acrobatic boy climbed on Oishi's back in triumph. "Alright! We won! The Golden Pair is still undefeated!"
"Well, it was a good game," stated Inui. "Kaidou, let's work on or co-ordination a little more."
"Yes, Inui-senpai," answered Kaidou.
With that the day's practise was over and they all headed home.
That night a portal opened up at a tennis court in Seishun High School. Out came 5 ferocious silver monsters. Among them was a large armoured one with an axe.
"A portal has opened at co-ordinates XY... 5 meters ahead and Eldritch has already appeared. The said location is Seishun High," said a scientist from within a van.
"Professor Ogami, can I dispatch the Killums?" asked a young man in a white suit.
"Yes, you may Commander Arun. They are all in tip-top condition," said the professor.
The young commander saluted before issuing orders. "Tyrfing, Longinus, Vajra, Cita and Aymur head out there and do what you have to. Other personnel are ordered to set up a zonal barrier to contain them within the battlefield."
The five girls sensed their blood enemies and immediately took off towards the battlefield. White light surrounded the tennis court, preventing the Eldritch from escaping. It also prevented citizens from witnessing the gruesome battles.
Vajra aimed and shot at skeleton soldier with her chrome coloured blast gun. The skeleton took quite a bit of damage but didn't go down. It launched itself in Vajra's direction and was about to slash her when a brave lance pierced right through it. The eldritch disintergrated into a pile.
"Thank, Longinus. I owe ya one!" thanked the red-haired killer princess.
"No problem. J-Just d-don't push yourself too hard... Y-you'll run out of m-mana..." advised the timid girl, timidly.
"Ha,ha! Don't worry!" said Vajra with an adrenaline rush. She aimed another shot at an incoming Eldritch shattering it like glass. "Sorry, about taking you down but we can't afford to fail," she whispered after killing it.
Tyrfing and Cita worked together to destroy the troublesome armoured monster. No matter how many times they struck it with the sword and axe respectively, the shield wielding monster didn't budge. They couldn't so much as even lay a scratch on it.
"Ha...ha...ha... This thing is too strong. It doesn't even let us attack from behind. If only we could penetrate that shield somehow," panted Cita.
"Guess I have no choice. Cita, move out of the way!" yelled the pink-haired warrior. "I'm going to use the new skill I acquired the other day!" The fairy girl flew away just as Tyrfing launched herself into the air with her sword. She did a somersault in mid-air before slashing at the monster multiple times and then stood behind it, sword sheathed. The monster crumbled into a bloody mess.
"You did it!" cried Cita. "Now all that's left should be...eh? No way!"
The tennis court had been razed, a pile of Eldritch corpses lay in the middle. On top of them stood the lone wolf girl, one hand on her axe. Her face was expressionless as she now faced another eldritch. She banged her axe against its hard body, sending a loud clamour echoing throughout the school. She pushed it back with her sheer strength, ripped through the lance and knocked the creature off its feet. Then in one fell swoop, she lopped off its head.
"I guess... that's the last of them," murmured Cita. Tyrfing walked towards Aymur. " Well done. It's finally over. Are you ok? You're injured are you? I mean I know we all are but..." she asked concerned. The maroon-haired girl stared at her with an expressionless face. She gave her the cold shoulder by walk away.
"Tch...Ungrateful as usual," said Vajra from behind Tyrfing. " I don't know why you even bother about her Tyr."
"She's a killum, just like us. I just feel we should look out for each other since only we know the burden we carry," said Tyrfing sadly as she watched Aymur's retreating figure.
"Tyr is right," said a soft voice. It was Longinus. " E-Even though Aymur san is cold towards us we should still try and reach out to her...I think."
"Whatever... we have more pressing matters though, don't we?" said Vajra, pointing to the practically destroyed court. "We'll leave that to our higher ups," said Tyrfing. As soon as the words left her mouth, the commander arrived.
"Good work everyone. Return to your dorms and homes. We'll handle the rest," ordered Commander Arun. The girls went their respective ways whilst the restoration team worked o the tennis court. From the shadows an eerie figure grinned. "This is only just the beginning...Fools!" With that the evil woman disappeared.
A/N: Aymur wasn't exactly a popular POTK character but I really like her. If the game ever revives I would love to play it again! :)
