[1, fightan]
[Monsters, aliens or other unpleasant non-human dudes are assaulting the city! You're fighting against them but the fight's not easy...]

Killiter Ichiival Tron...

[Suddenly, third-party reinforcements arrive from the flank! They consist of... but a single short-statured girl? But she's wielding two huge chainguns, raining bullet hell on the enemies - and actually manages to push them back a little!]

What are you looking at? Want some of this?! I'll take all of you down!

[And then the enemies regroup and it turns out that surprise, a single ally out of nowhere cannot turn the tide of battle. They start to converge on her position.]

... Eh?

[Bad things happened recently, very bad things. Chris was personally involved - as a victim or a friend of one, not as a perpetrator; and it seems she is taking this pretty badly. Do you try to console her?]

Go away. Just... get lost! I don't need your sympathy!


[3]
[Team building exercise!

Guess who was forced to decided to reluctantly accompany you.]

Why do we have to do this?
This is stupid.

[4]
Hey.

[Chris wants to talk to you about something.]


...

Th-thanks. For before.

[Oh? Could it be that an earlier act of kindness finally broke through her misanthropic exterior?]

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Right, right... you know, I didn't ask for anyone to be my partner.

[Chris steps on Tsubasa's ready hands and lets her lift her up.]

[sword_cadenza]

That wasn't an option. Or would you rather be partnered with Tachibana?

[Tsubasa does her part pretty easily. Physical activities like these are something she's good at and all.

And then she looks up at where you are, Chris.]

Are you ready?

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Fine, you make a good point.

Okay, here we...

[Chris reaches down to elevate Tsubasa up. She grabs her hand and...]

Go?

[No lifting commences. In fact, her hands start shaking.]

What the hell, you're too heavy!

1/2

[sword_cadenza]

H-heavy?

2/2

[sword_cadenza]

[No, never mind that for now!]

This is the first obstacle, Yukine! My weight is well within regular parameters, as a Symphogear user, you should have more than enough strength to accomplish this!

[Or not...because Tsubasa's still not going anywhere...]

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Easy to say, maybe I should just call for Ichiival? That'll make lifting you all the easier!

[Struggle, struggle. Tsubasa is being lifted up, reaaaaaaally slowly.]

[sword_cadenza]

[This is a surprise.]

Even without it, were you not physically trained?

[Slowly maybe, but it's progress, and just enough too! Tsubasa helps out by grabbing the edge of the platform with her free hand to pull herself up!]

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Of course I was trained! I was trained a lot. I was using my Symphogear all day, every day.

There, we managed to overcome the obstacle. That's it for the exercise.

[sword_cadenza]

Using your Symphogear is one thing, keeping yourself in shape is another. It might have been a better idea to put you through one of our regular training sessions first...

[You'll also find a hand on your shoulder stopping you, Chris.]

And we're far from done. Over there is the next obstacle.

[From the looks of it, it's an artificial cliff designed for a minimum of two people to climb - judging by the gaps in the foot and hand holds. It's also much, much taller than this platform...]

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!

[sword_cadenza]

This will be a long day...

[Tsubasa just sighs. She doesn't look all that displeased by Chris' reaction though, and before long, she's already moving on.

But instead of running, she's just walking so that her partner can keep up.]

Keep moving, or the others will leave us behind.

The team to finish last will have no dessert tonight.

[zenbuzenbuzenbu]

Uhh... this is hopeless...

Just leave me behind, I don't have the strength to carry on.

What, no dessert? What kind of torture is this!

[Chris speeds up. Slightly.]
