Hikaru: *still standing in front of the store* Where did everybody go?
Keikoooo?
*steps on something soft* Eh?
*looks down to see a human hand* EEEHHHH?!!
*meanwhile*
Cerise: We have to go back!
Casa: Are you crazy?! Keiko's minions will kill us!
Cerise: But we have to find Tabi at all costs!
We got into this together, so we're going to get out of it together as well!
Megy: She's right, we can't leave Tabi behind
Keiko's underlings will destory her
Casa: Okay then, let's go - sorry, Wakana-sama, but we just have to quickly save our friend before we can take to the - uh...Wakana?
Wakana: Lalalalalala shark~ shark~ shark~ shark~
*still concussed from crash*
Girls:
*meanwhile*
Hikaru: *SCRREEAAMMMSSS* A DEAD BODY?!!
Alonso: Uuurrhhhhhggghhh...
*woken by Hikaru's scream due to being knocked unconscious by crash, with the impact having hurled him out of the window and into a brick wall*
Hikaru: *SCRREEAAMMMSS* NOT A DEAD BODY?!!
Alonso: OMG! The van! The girls! The -
H-Hikaru-sama…
Hikaru:
Alonso:
*With neither of them actually having any idea of what's going on, they continue to at each other*
*Suddenly, Casa, Cerise and Megy came charging down the street towards them…*
Megy: ALONSO! Thank goodness you're okay! Quick, we need you to drive us to the hospital to rescue Tabi!
Alonso: But - the van is destroyed, and I don't have a backup vehicle…
Casa: Wakana-sama, would you by any chance have a car that we could borrow?
Wakana: Nope, I get around by bike.
*points to shark-shaped bicycle* But Hikaru has a car, I think. Right, Hikaru?
Hikaru: N-Nani?
*still in shock*
Casa, Cerise, Megy: *only just noticed* H-Hikaru is here?! Alone? But then, that means Keiko...IS AT THE HOSPITAL WITH TABI?!!
Cerise: Quick, guys, jump in the car - we have no time!
Wait for us, Tabi, we will definitely save you!
*They proceed to hijack Hikaru's car and speed off*
Hikaru: Nani?! Ch-Ch-Chotto matte!! OI - THAT'S MY CARRRRR!!!
*runs down the streets chasing after the car*
*meanwhile, at the hospital*
*sirens wailing*
*Keiko and a nurse rush Tabi on a stretcher with an oxygen mask from the ambulance into the lift*
Keiko: Hmm…
let's see...third floor…
*presses button*
Nurse: A-Ano...I'm not sure if you're aware...the third floor is for the intensive surgery operating rooms...
Keiko: Yes...and this patient is in need of intensive surgery…
deshooouuu?
Tabi: *muffled noises due to oxygen mask*MMMHHRRMMMNNNHRNNGGGHHHH!!!!!
*Translation* - I'm fine! I'm fine, really! I don't even have a single scratch! Look, I can even sit u- *is pushed forcefully back down*
Keiko: As I was saying - this patient requires
urgent treatment so I think that it's best if you leave this to the professionals, kawaii nurse-san, and step away…
*pushing Nurse outside*
Nurse: But - you aren't even a docto -
*lift doors close*
Tabi: MMMHHHRNNNGGHHHRRMMNNHRMMMM!!!!!!!!
*Translation* - NOOO! DON'T GO! DON'T LEAVE ME WITH HER ALONE! I'M BEGGING YOU! SAVE ME, SOMEBODY!
Keiko: *leaning over Tabi dangerously* Don't worry, by the time we're finished, you'll be feeling like a
new person.
Tabi: *faints*
*lift doors ping! open*
Keiko: You! Victor! My minion…
Victor: Hai, ma'am!
Keiko: Unfortunately I planted all my other minions at all the possible exit points of the city to prevent those kidnappers from escaping with Wacchan, so only you are available to serve me here right now.
Go and stand guard outside the doors and make sure nobody can get in to disturb us, got it?
Victor: Hai!
Keiko: Now, go!
*outside in the corridor, hiding around the corner*
Megy: According to my tracker, Tabi should be in that...operating room?!
Cerise: There's a guard posted at the door! However will we get in?
Casa: Okay, here's the plan. We will somehow use a diversion to distract the guard away from the area...then, one of us will pretend to be a medical inspector to keep Keiko preoccupied while the other sneaks Tabi out. We'll rendezvous in the carpark immediately where Alonso is waiting with the getaway car and then flee!
Megy: Sounds good but...how are we going to make a diversion?
Wakana: I can do that!
Cerise: N-No, Wakana-sama, we can't risk you!
Wakana: But...you guys are trying to save your friend, right? I want to help...please…?
*doing the heartwrenching sad face from before*
Cerise: HNNNNGGGG
Casa: Okay, Wakana, but please stay safe! And remember to meet up with us at Alonso's car immediately afterwards okay? No loitering with strangers, even if they offer you a shark!
Wakana: I know, I know
Well, good luck minna! I'm heading out
*activate: BEAUTY GODDESS MODE - HAWTNESS LVL INCREASED BY OVER 9000*
Cerise, Megy, Casa: M-Mabushii! This divine godlike beauty! It's shining! Bright! Too bright! Must...control...nose...blood...loss…
*Wakana exposes herself, walking out into the corridor*
Victor: An intruder! Hey, you!
(left side image)
Wakana: *turning around* Ara?
What is it?
Victor: Stop right there and put you hands on your - HHHUUUHHNNGGGG
*huge gasp* *heart begins to dokidoki really fast*
(right side image)
Wakana: *still in Beauty Goddess Mode* Oh, sir, could you please direct me to the nearest restroom? I think I'm a bit...lost...
*bishie sparkles*
Victor: O-of course, ojou-sama…
*leads Wakana away* *thinking* So this is what Master Keiko's waifu is like! Up until now, I've never been able to get a good look at her...but…Oh gods...I think I'm in love...maybe...I won't bring her to Master Keiko as ordered...maybe I'll…
Cerise: *staring anxiously after them* W-Wakana-sama...be safe…
Megy: C'mon, Cerise! We have to focus! We're going to rescue Tabi, remember!
Casa: Right, here are some white coats and fake badges for you two to dress up as the medical inspectors. Meanwhile, I'll enter from above through the air ducts and sneak Tabi down the fire escape into the car park…
De wa...Mission: Hospi-Jailbreak STARTO!
*Cerise and Megy knock on the door*
Keiko: Dammit, I was just about to get started
*puts down scalpel*
Tabi:
Keiko: *opening the door* What is it, Vict -
You're not Victor!
Where did he go?! I told him to keep watch!
Cerise: Hello, we are Inspectors from the Medical Practitioners' Union - we're just reviewing and checking all the doctor's medical licences in this hospital facility.
We hope you will co-operate as we just have a few questions to confirm that you are still valid and eligible for a licence to practise surgery here at the hospital…
Keiko: I don't -
Megy: These questions are compulsory, of course, unless you want to be arrested for unlawful medical practices on the spot.
Keiko: But I -
Megy: *interrupting* Question one: When was the last time you…
*they start rambling*
*Casarina enters the room behind Keiko through the air duct. Keiko is too busy answering the questions to realise what's going on in the room behind her.*
Tabi: *spots Casa*
Casa:
*Casa and Tabi jump out through the fire escape*
Cerise: Question fourteen: As a practicing doctor of medicine, do you prefer the hand sanitiser brand SqueakyClean or -
*realises Casa and Tabi have successfully made their escape* Okay, well actually, I think that's enough for today, so -
*turns around and starts sprinting for the exit with Megy*
Keiko: Hey - what the -
*turns around, sees empty room* THE KIDNAPPERS! COME BACK HERE RIGHT NAAAOOOO!!!
*chases after them*
*meanwhile*
Wakana: Erm...sir? This isn't the restroom…
Victor: Oh, really…?
Wakana: Yes...it's a broom closet…
Victor: Oh, I know.
Wakana: W-wait, you -
*back to the girls*
Tabi: You...have no idea where we're going, do you?
Casa: Dammit, I wish I'd studied the floorplans for the hospital beforehand!
Tabi: Well, how hard can following the fire escape to the car park be?
I'm sure we'll get there if we just keep following this -
DEAD END?!!!
Casa: No, I can hear Keiko's cry of rage getting nearer!
*nearby, Cerise and Megy come tumbling out of a door*
Cerise: *hysterical* She's coming! She's coming! She's -
DEAD END?!!
Megy: We're DOOMED!
*behind them*
Keiko: *crashing out behind them* *advancing slowly* Soooo...seems like you're trapped then, eeeehhh?
Casa, Cerise, Megy, Tabi:
Keiko: Where have you taken my waifu?!
Casa, Cerise, Megy, Tabi: W-we don't have her right now!
Keiko: LIES!
*Suddenly, a computer screen nearby switched on*
Voice from computer: No, they're right...they don't have your waifu Wakana right now…
I DO! FWAHAHAHAHAHA
*diabolical laughter*
Keiko and girls: NANI?!!
Keiko: *staring at screen*V- Victor?!! My supposedly loyal minion?!! Is that
you?!!
Girls: Her minion?! Victor?!
*a video image of Victor appears, sitting in a broom cupboard*
Victor: Yes! It is I...and guess who's with me?
*the camera pans out and to the side to reveal Wakana sitting on a paint tin whilst tied up with rope and a cloth gag stuffed in her mouth*
Wakana: MMMNHHHFFFGGHHNMMMMHHHNNNNN!!!
Keiko and girls: W-WWAKANAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
Victor: I stole your surveillance equipment to transmit this message, Master Keiko...or should I say,
former Master Keiko…
You see, I've renounced you and am planning to take Wakana-san with me somewhere very far away where we can be happy together~
Wakana:
Keiko: You would betray me, Victor?!!
Victor: Ha! Even though you told me to bring your waifu back to you unharmed if I found her...well, since I never realised how beautiful and goddess-like she is until now, I've decided to make her
my waifu instead of handing her over to you.
Keiko: NAAANNNNIIIII???!!!!!!
Wakana, mai beloved, do not weep, for I shall most definitely save you, even if it's the last thing I do!
As for you, Victor…
I SHALL CRUSH YOU FOR TRYING TO STEAL WAKACHAN!
Just as soon as I'm done with these other thieves who - eh?
*realises that Casa, Cerise, Megy and Tabi fled a while ago* Oi, come back!
*resumes chasing them*
*back in broom cupboard*
Victor: *switched off transmitting device* Oh, it was so worth it to see my old boss so worked up like that
Don't worry, Wakana-san, as a husbando I shall treat you very well - even better than Keiko did.
So there's no need to look so scared like that~
It will all be over soon, just as long as I've gotten rid of Former Master Keiko.
Wakana: *thinking* How did it end up like this?? All I ever wanted was just to see sharks!
*down in the carpark*
Tabi: Alonso! Quick, put the pedal to the metal! We have to get out of here to a safe place!
Alonso: What happened?! Where's Wakana?
Cerise: *wailing* WAKA-SAMAAAAA
*getting dragged by Casa and Megy back into the car from trying to run back to find Wakana*
Tabi: We'll explain later - for now, we have to escape from Keiko! She's on the warpath -
*huge BANG echoes throughout carpark* Sh - she's coming!
Keiko: Why, hello.
Alonso, Casa, Cerise, Megy, Tabi: H-how the hell did she suddenly appear by the window?!!
Megy: L-Lock the doors! Lock the -
*Keiko breaks the lock with bare hands*
Keiko: This is all your fault...I will make you pay for attempting to steal Wakachan and causing her to end up in the hands of that lunatic…
Casa: D-Drive Alonso! Drive us away!
Keiko: Oh no, it's too late now too -
*Suddenly, the sound of a phone ringing*
Everyone: O_________o
Cerise: Er...you wanna pick that up?
Tabi: It's coming from the touch screen on the dashboard…
*presses 'Answer'*
*Kajiura-sensei appears on video-call*
Everyone:
Yuki: Ara~? That isn't Hikaru-chan…
Megy: Video-call function in her car?! Hikaru is so high-tech!
Keiko: Kajiura-sensei!
Yuki: Ehh, it's Keiko! Where are the other two? I just had an awesome brainwave for that house I'm building with songs - you three need to hurry and get here to record this song about windows and walls!
Keiko: Ehhh…
*just remembered Hikaru...who is MIA* Well, actually, we have a more pressing issue at hand!
Kajiura-sensei!
Mai Wakachan was been taken by these -
*interrupted by the sound of a second phone ringing*
Everyone: O___________o
Casa: Er...moshi moshi?
*presses answer*
*a second screen pops up with Victor, who is at the wheel of another car. Tied-up and gagged Wakana can be seen in the back seat, -ing*
Megy: Full video conference function in Hikaru's car?!
Victor: FWAHAHAHAHA!
As you can see, whilst you fools loiter around, I mock you by making my getaway with my soon-to-be bride Wakana-san!
Keiko and girls:
Alonso: What the hell happened in the hospital?!
Yuki: Huh, what's going -
H-HEY! I recognise you!
Victor: Eh?
*just noticed Yuki on the screen* Oh - crap!
Yuki: You're Victor Schmidt! That freckled German brat whose face I punched because he stole my first kiss in a raspberry thicket near my house when I lived in Germany!
Victor: *lapses into his mother-tongue due to nervousness* N-N-N-Nein!
I mean - y-you must be mistaken!
*hangs up quickly, the screen goes blank*
Keiko: Eh, you know him, Kajiura-sensei?
Yuki: Well, looks like he graduated from stealing girls' kisses to stealing people's wives…
You must hurry - if you don't get her back, we may never see her again!
Or even if you do, if Wakachan spends too much time in his company and he steals her first kiss, she may become traumatised like I was…
Everyone else:
Keiko: *in raging tempest of fury* IF HE DARES TOUCH EVEN A SKIN CELL ON HER -
Yuki: My guess is that he will try to smuggle her into Germany - you'd better hurry and bring her back!
I need this new Kalafina Window-And-Wall song to be recorded!
Keiko: Okay, I shall rescue Wakachan as soon as I'm done punishing these -
Tabi: Alonso, get going! We must intercept Victor Schmidt immediately and prevent him from taking Wakana to Germany! Let's pursue them to the airport!
*Alonso, Casa, Cerise, Megy and Tabi abruptly speed off in Hikaru's state-of-the-art car, ending the phone call*
Keiko: ……
HEY! COME BACK, I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU YET!! AND I WILL BE THE ONE TO HEROICALLY RESCUE WAKACHAN!!
*dials number quickly* Minion?! READY MY BOSSMOBILE.
*BOSSMOBILE spontaneously appears with driver*
Keiko: *climbing in* Ah yes, my second-most trusted lieutenant before Victor betrayed me - congratulations, Minion, you have been promoted to my foremost trusted lieutenant now…
*but the person sitting in the seat next to her is actually…*
Kaori: Er...I came as quickly as I could, but would you stop calling me Minion when I'm taller than you, Keiko?
Keiko: *completely ignores that statement* After those criminals who have tried to steal Wakana! Forward and onward, Minion! Forward and onward!
*at that moment*
Hikaru: *finally caught up after all this time of running from the store to the hospital after her car* N-NANDAAA?!
*sees her car containing Alonso/Casa/Cerise/Megy/Tabi speeding away in the distance* Wait - everyone, I had to rest by sleeping on the way, so I only just -
*BOSSMOBILE with Keiko and Kaori revs up and speeds away just as Hikaru enters*
Hikaru: M-MAJI?!!?!!
I ONLY JUST GOT HERE!
Why does everyone forget meee?!
And how am I going to catch with all of them now that my - eh?
*notices Wakana's sharkcycle leaning on the wall* …………………………..
*With no choice, Hikaru climbs on the sharkcycle and pedals after the direction of Keiko's BOSSMOBILE*
Next time:
What will happen now that Wakana has been kidnapped from her kidnappers?
(
Wakana: Yes, please save me, minna!
)
Will Casa, Cerise, Megy, Tabi and their good ol' driver Alonso manage to save Wakana from the crazy freckled German kiss-and-wife-stealing Victor, whilst simultaneously avoiding Keiko's divine wrath? (
Casa: We're screwed…
Cerise: W-Waka-samaaaa
Megy: We're driving too fast!
Tabi: Faster, Alonso! Faster!
Alonso: What the hell's going on?!! )
How will Keiko get her waifu back in the midst of all this chaos? (
Keiko: Oh, trust me, BOSS Macho-senpai
will get her waifu back…
How did Kaori end up becoming Keiko's Minion? (
Kaori: *shrugs* Don't ask me, I don't even know how I somehow got dragged into this mess…
)
And, most importantly of all...when will they all remember poor Hikalu? (
Hikaru: *in the distance behind the BOSSMOBILE, huffing and puffing whilst pedalling the Sharkcycle as fast as she can* Wait for me! Will you slow down a bit? Ch-chotto matte!
I think I'm going to need at least a month's hibernation afterwards to make up for this energy loss
Tune in next time to find out!
