----------
VIDEO ALERT!

The second half of the battle!

Youtube Link!
----------



Hurray, hurray, it's our blushing Russian death-dealing commissar's turn!



... and, welp, just about the only thing she can shoot from here is a car.



On the other hand, her range IS long enough to shoot the turrent on the roof.

----
[Ogami]

Wait... Maria, at that trajectory, wouldn't your bullets have to carve straight through the rest of the building to hit the turret?

[Maria]

Perhaps.

[Ogami]

We... should at least ACT like we're trying not to bust up this town any more than we have to. Could you move into a position where you WOULDN'T be blasting through the entire building?

[Maria]

Yes, I could.

[Ogami]

Okay, then-

[Maria]

... however, Captain, you seem to have mistaken me for someone who cares.

[Ogami]

... I... huh. The building's still standing.

[Maria]

...
----



----
[Ogami]

And... and that was related to your training, was it?

[Maria]

Of course.

[Ogami]

...

[Maria]

Are you just now noticing that by giving us time to hone our physics-shattering skills, you are allowing us to realize our potential as the biggest threat to our nation's survival?

[Ogami]

Er, actually, I was more worried about the fact that you can now shoot into a crowd of people and hit me and only me.

[Maria]

...

[Ogami]

What? You didn't think of- er, wait, forget I said anything!!

[Maria]

_{I must not abuse this power for my own enjoyment. I must not abuse this power for my own enjoyment. I must not-}
----

Not much else happens- there aren't nearly enough Kouma running around any more to present an actual threat, and most of the video is just the entire brigade moving into position.

There ARE a few more highlights, though.



And by THAT, I mean "there are still a few more final attacks we haven't actually seen yet."

[Sumire]

Kanzaki Whirlwind Style...



[Sumire]

The flower's musical performance!


----


[Sumire]

Dance of the Phoenix!


----

[Sakura]

They did LAST time, didn't they?

[Sumire]

Oh, that little skirmish? Meiji Shrine was merely a setback!

[Iris]

Sumire, Sumire! That was a phoenix, right?

[Sumire]

But of course! After all, it is the only mythical creature that could accurately represent-

[Iris]

- the futility of trying to escape the tragic circle of pain-filled life and excruciating death by showing us a mythical bird, one that burns away its own flesh in a most horrific manner only to come back and do it all again in a stagnant, never-changing cycle?

[Sumire]

...

[Sumire]

Who let Iris get to the philosophy books?

[Kanna]

Ahahaha, sorry, Iris probably started reading my pillows again.
----


----


----
[Maria]

...

[Maria]

I see. So your fighting style consists of healing yourself and hiding behind Kanna.

[Kanna]

It's about right, though, isn't it?

[Maria]

... I... really cannot refute that.

[Kanna]

Man, this shit's getting boring.

[Ogami]

Wait, what're you-
----



----
[Ogami]

K-Kanna!? Come back! I need you to be my meatshield!!

[Kanna]

I'm creating drama!

[Ogami]

WHAT? But the Kouma up there's going to-
----


----

----


----
[Ogami]

... shoot me full of shit.

[Kanna]

Damn, Captain, how the hell have you gotten WORSE at soaking up damage?

[Maria]

... I suppose this is where I'm going to have to step in once more.

[Ogami]

_{Please save me, Maria.}
----


----


----
[Ogami]

... no, Maria, please shoot the Kouma, not the car.

[Maria]

But if we destroy the explosive car, the Kouma will get caught in its blast radius, saving us all a considerable amount of trouble.

[Ogami]

But I'LL get caught up in it, too!

[Maria]

... and?

[Ogami]

Mariiiiiaaaaaa-

[Maria]

Alright, alright.
----


----


[Maria]

Surpassing the nights of previous battlefields...



[Maria]

To shine, here and now...!

[Maria]

Парк　Випцой! (Immortal Glory!)



ELSEWHERE:



[Sumire]

Well... that is certainly true- though you did nothing but nap, Iris.

[Iris]

Yup! Iris slept a lot! I'm still a growing girl, you know~!!
But you went out ALL the time. Where did you go, Sumire?

[Sumire]

A child like you does not need to know. Grown-ups have their own circumstances to deal with.

[Iris]

Hmph! That's all you said, and you woudn't take me with you!!

[Sumire]

Oh~ hoh hoh hoh! I shall gladly fill you in once this battle is over.

[Iris]

You absolutely will! That's definitely a promise, okay!?



Not long after THAT little exchange in which Sumire continues corrupting our already-corrupted youth, Sakura finishes off the final Kouma.
