Mikoto: They're holding me here without approaching.
Mikoto: Are they being cautious?
Mikoto: Or are they waiting for someth-

02

Mikoto: Cough cough
Mikoto: Ugh
Mikoto: Hack

Mikoto: Cough
Mikoto(thought): Tear gas!! The Shield doesn't block that.
Mikoto: Ugh

SFX: Approach

Mikoto: Oh, no. I can't focus on my power.

SFX: Bwoosh

03

SFX: Fwoosh

SF: Hm?
SF(thought): The gas is being pushed away?

SFX: Bwoom

SFX: Clang clank

SFX: Fade...

04

Mikoto: They withdrew?

Mikoto: Thanks for saving me.
Kessai: I'm glad I was at least some use.

Mikoto: Still, it's too dangerous to stay here.

Mikoto: We can use rubble as a shield and break through before Ruri-senpai's buffs wear off.

SF: We failed to neutralize them.
Leader: But we learned the other one's power.

05

Leader: I had hoped to keep this peaceful, but oh well.

Leader: I doubt they will try to hole up in there.
Leader: Once they grasp the situation, they will likely try to break out.

Leader: We will end this with the monomolecular blade wires we strung up.

06

SF: Your power...

SFX: Crunch

SF: is useless if we grapple.

SFX: Crunch

SFX: It comes down to fist or twist.

SFX: From now on, I will move so my every force vector is directed toward you.

SFX: Crunch crunch

07

Ruri: If I had room to run, I could send him flying with the force of his pursuit.
Imagined SF: Wahhhh

Ruri: That's too narrow for me.
Ruri(small): Reiri-chan or Mikoto-chan could make it.
Ruri: This is effectively a dead end.

08

Ruri: He'll move so my buffs will only be directed at me.
SFX: Click
Ruri: And this alley is too narrow to slip past him.

Ruri: I'll just have to go for it!

SFX: Whack

Ruri: First, exaggerate my kick!!

09

Ruri: Then buff his dodge to slam him into the wall!
SFX: Dodge

SFX: Wham

Ruri: A clean hit!?

SF: And I thought you would try to blind me.
SF: I wouldn't've dodged that either.

10

SF: And that's...

SF: checkmate!!!

11

SFX: Boom

SFX: Step step step ttep

SFX: Step...
SFX: Wobble

SFX: Thunk

12

SF: Khah.
SFX: Squeeze

SFX: Squeeze squeeze

SFX: Squeeze
Ruri: I knew you'd be coming straight for me, remember?

Ruri: Didn't expect a front choke from a gyaru, didja?

13

SFX: Collapse
SFX: Squeeze squeeze
SF: Gah
SF: Ah

SF: Gh!

SF: Ohhhhhh!
SFX: Swing

SFX: Wham
Ruri: Agh

Ruri: He did that with his face out front!?

SF: Ugh...

14

SF: Gwohhhhhhhh
SFX: Stomp stomp stomp stomp

Ruri: He's going to stab that into me?

SFX: Squeeze squeeze
SFX: Stomp stomp

15

SFX: Hop
SFX: Hop hop

SFX: Roll

SFX: Slip
SFX: Slide...

SFX: Thud
Ruri: Whew

Ruri: That was a close-

16

SFX: Grab

Ruri: Kh
SFX: Squeeze

Ruri: There's more?

Ruri: How is the first guy back!?

Ruri: Did he sacrifice his arm to pull it out!?

17

Ruri: Did he carry me here...
Ruri: so I wouldn't notice this guy?

SF: It ain't pretty, but I'll keep squeezing until-

SFX: Slip
SF: Bgh

SFX: Tug...
SF: Get out...
SF: of my nose!

SF: Nwohhhhh!
SF: As the secret defenders of Academy City, we must eliminate all spies!!

Ruri(edge): Geez
Ruri: That's twice you've hugged a middle schooler!
Ruri: I'm gonna arrest you for indecent assault!!

18

Ruri: Hm?
SF: Huh?

SF: Ugh...
SF: Hm?

19

Mikoto: Something's coming!
Mikoto: Jump!

Mikoto: There's something below.
SFX: Snap

Mikoto: Above too!?

Mikoto: It's throughout the room!?

20

Mikoto: No!
SFX: Shudder

SFX: Crackle

21

SFX: Boom
SFX: Rumble
Leader: What happened?

SFX: Rumble...

22

SFX: Rumble
Kessai: O-ohh.
Kessai: Why didn't you do that sooner?
Mikoto: I thought someone might be outside!

Kessai: Anyway, here you go.

Kessai: Good, it wasn't damaged.

Mikoto: What were you thinking!?
Kessai: Eh?

Mikoto: You could've been killed.
SFX: Buzz

Mikoto: Ruri-senpai?
