[The SSS members are together in the meeting room to discuss what happened on the last mission.]
[At Yuri] Alright, can you please give us the down-low on what we found?
Hm...Angel has been developing her own abilities. She's using the same method we are to make our weapons.
I'm not sure. I can't say anything for certain.
Why not? You're being a little too vague, Yurripe.
[Thinking] For her to do things the same way we do; it could mean the worst possible scenario for us. It would mean there is no God. If she's an angel, why doesn't she get her powers from God? Why does she have to develop them for herself? It just doesn't make any sense.
TakamatsuAnd here's another problem: [Places Iwasawa's acoustic guitar on the table.] where did Iwasawa go?
Didn't Angel obliterate her?
Then what did you think happened?
So, who kidnapped Iwasawa and-
[Aloud] No one did. She accepted her fate. That's all there is to it.
At last. The time has finally come.
OOtanashi
What? Is something starting soon?
Angel's rampage is about to begin.
OOtanashi
What? What do you mean by "Angel's rampage"? [Shows scene of what Otanashi thinks as "Angel's rampage" with a group of the SSS members fighting Angel fiercely.] But-but...Why is she going on a rampage?
Because tests are coming up.
OOtanashi
Uh...Come again?
Takamatsu
Think about it. It's of the most vital importance that we attend class and get good grades on our tests, and important that we excel. At least it's important to Angel. [Otanashi's previous theory of what "Angel's rampage" is like is shattered.]
But this testing period is a perfect chance for us to make Angel flunk her tests.
Sounds to me like you've already got a plan, Yurippie. Come on, let's hear it.
We'll interfere with all of Angel's tests; make her flunk them. That'll put her as worst student in the whole school.
OOtanashi
So what happens then?
She loses face. Will she be able to maintain respect as our student body president?
OOtanashi
Think that'll weaken her?
At the very least, the way the students and teachers view her will change. It will result in an unprecedented shift in perception.
Dunno. Even I can't figure that out.
(Thinking) But if she isn't an angel made by God and doesn't have an iron heart, if she's just a normal human soul like us, that loss of face will cause some serious mental damage...and a rift in her mental state of emotional well-being.
[Otonashi and the SSS are walking down a corridor and find the third Kanade waiting for them.]
Look out! There's another one.
[Yuri pulls out a pistol and aims it at the Kanade clone, only to have Matsushita stop her.]
It's a waste of your bullets. [Mastushita walks in front of Yuri and charges at the Kanade clone.]
H-Hey! What're you doing?! [The Kanade clone activates Handsonic and stabs Matsushita through the chest while he is blocking her.]
SMSSS Members
Matsushita the Fifth!
G-Go. Get outta here while I'm still conscious!
Wait, you make it sound like you're about to die or something, man!
Hurry up! Take this opportunity to run for it! [Yuri runs ahead of the Kanade clone and the dying Matsushita with the other SSS members following.]
Hang in there Matsushita the Fifth!
[Shouting] The rest is up to you guys!
[Yuri and the other SSS members walk down another corridor after leaving behind Matsushita.]
We won't let Matsushita's sacrifice be in vain. Thanks to him, we learned the best method is to keep moving. Angel is small, so pinning her down is the best strategy. No matter how strong Angel is, Judo lock should work on her. Looks like the day the Judo Matsushita taught us has finally come.
Takamatsu
Then we shall sacrifice just one person per clone. Is that not correct?
Looks like we'll be able to save everyone if we can just save the original Angel. Let's hurry.
[Yuri and the SSS members come to another corridor and find the fourth Kanade clone.] They also find a banana in the corner
It's the fourth one...[TK walks in front of the group.]
TTK
It's my turn, dudes. Good-bye and good luck. [TK runs toward the Kanade clone, leaps above it, and is stabbed through the chest.]
Hey! What gives?! It's like we're at the climax of a boy's comic book!
Oh, knock it off! We need to keep moving! [The group encounters the fifth clone.]
Takamatsu
The time to show off my prowess has come. [He takes off his shirt and charges at the clone and gets killed.]
SMSSS Members
Takamatsu! [The group encounters the sixth clone.]
Heh heh...I can't chicken out now. [Fujimaki charges at the clone and gets killed.]
SMSSS Members
Fujimaki! [The group encounters the seventh clone.]
This is so stupid...[She charges at the clone.] This is just so stupid! [She gets stabbed by the clone.]
SMSSS Members
Shiina! [They encounter the eighth clone. Naoi hypnotizes Ōyama.]
It's time you realized...You're a clown...Lookie, there in the darkness is a lonely little girl...
Oh, no! You're right. [Ōyama gleefully walks toward the Kanade clone.] I've gotta make her laugh!!! [Ōyama is killed by the clone.]
[At Naoi] You're horrible, you know that?
[Nervous] Otonashi, you've got it wrong! Please hear me out! It was a figure of speech! I'll go next! [He gets killed by the ninth clone, but no one says anything.]
Hey, someone say something...?
Nah, I don't even know his name.
[The members of the SSS are in the meeting room discussing what happened after the last operation "Parachute"]
Takamatsu
[To Yuri] This is completely unprecedented. I've never seen someone like this before. There's a distinct possibility that she (Kanade) may never wake up.
But that in itself would be irregular! She'll wake up! She'll wake up eventually and act as if she's merely overslept.
But who will she be? When she awakens? [Everyone is surprised that Shiina actually spoke up during the meeting.]
That only proves how grave this situation is!
[To Shiina] You're absolutely right. That's the real problem.
So which Angel will it be?
The first one! I say the one we went fishing with!
Yeah, yeah. But the ones that attacked us before were cruel fighting fanatics.
It's one-hundred to one mathematically speaking.
So you're saying that's why she's unconscious? All those minds are gushed together in her tiny head? Wreaking all sorts of havoc like a horde of jellyfish attacking her mind or is it a gaggle?
So, assuming she wakes up, she might wake up as one-hundred different people?
Statistically speaking, there's a one percent chance she'll be the same old her when she wakes up.
I have a plan. I sent Takeyama into Angel's domain. He's with some people who can translate the manual.
Where's T.K. and Matsushita?
The infirmary. They're guarding it.
Surprisingly, T.K. stinks at English.
Let's get this straight: so they're going to delete all the data, change the login password, and steal away all her abilities? But that's merely buying us time. Do you realize that?
Yuri Of course I do. She'll break through our defenses and recreate the data.
[Wielding his halberd] Then why don't we just destroy the computer?
There are plenty of replacement computers available in the computer room. Same for the software.
Huh. Everyone seems really smart today. Did you eat something rotten?
All we can do now is wait. I wonder who will God side with?
[The SSS follows Kanade to a secret room to find it filled with plants.]
What is this place? [Notices Kanade]
[Pulls a turnip from one of the allotments.] You're wonderful. You're cute.
Takamatsu
Yes, it's a hydroponics.
MMatsusita
Hey, Yurripe. I found this. [Shows a small sign in his hands saying "Gardening Club"]
[To Yuri] Now, then. I left the meeting and the word "cute" made me remember the hydroponics turnip I'm tending for the discontinued garden club. So, let me ask you how you think I should go about reporting this to the student council?
[Yelling] WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!?!
Why is there such tight security at the entrance?!
Security? [The steel doors open behind Yuri and the other SSS members as more SSS members come into the hydroponic.]
Phew! We made it in! I can't believe all we had to do was hit the "open" button!
Huh?! What about the password?!
Yeah! The one you hit on the keypad, stupid!
I was calculating the remaining funds for the garden club.
It...was a calculator? [Pause] As of now...the Afterlife Battlefront...[Shouting] MUST NOT EAT FOR AN ENTIRE WEEK!!! [All other SSS members complain.]
