[Iris]

Okay!!


[Maria]

Iris.... that's wonderful...




[Kanna]

It's your first time out. Do your best, Iris!


[Kohran]

Awright! With this, now the Flower Division's all together!




ROBOT ROLL CALL!



Ogami! "Wha-- my intro got downgraded!?"



Sakura! "Ohboyohboyohboyohboy IT'S BATH TIME!!"



Sumire! "My movements are so graceful that this camera simply cannot keep up~!"



Maria! "... once again, you're already dead."



Kanna! "More spikes! MORE SPIKES!!"



Kohran! "Shall I give ya dis pear?"



I~ri~s! "..."



"Super!"



"Special!"



"Awesome!"



"INTRO!"

[Ogami]

HOLY SHIT! SUMIRE!


[Sumire]

W-what? What is it?


[Ogami]

Wasn't your Koubu just... y'know... GONE!? Like, from the waist up?


[Sumire]

Oh, that? Kohran had the foresight to bring a Steam-Powered Repair Kit!


[Ogami]

Oh, I see, that makes PERFECT sense.


[Kohran]

Yup!


[Ogami]

Except that it doesn't! What the HELL, Kohran?


[Kohran]

What, ain't it self-explanatory? The Repair Kit clocked 'er back up 'bout two-hundred HP!


[Ogami]

... Eitch-Pee?


[Kohran]

Yeah! That's more than 'nuff t' heal her up in a jiffy!


[Ogami]

Ha ha... ha ha ha... really now?


[Kohran]

C'mon, this's basic stuff here, Ogami-han! Don't tell me yer losin' it?


[Ogami]

I don't think there's anything left to LOSE.

----



[Kohran]

It ain't gonna be nearly that easy. The Kaminari Gate over there's been closed.



----


[Kohran]

Even an attack by th' Koubu or an airstrike by the Shogeimaru couldn't scratch it.


----
[Ogami]

You're actually suggesting that we DON'T blow something into the atmosphere?


[Kohran]

No!


[Ogami]

What... what's happened to you, Kohran...? Are you sick or anything?


[Kohran]

D... don't rub it in! I'll find a way t' explode somethin' of that magnitude! Just you wait!!


[Ogami]

Jeez, woman, don't scare me like that. I thought that you'd snapped or--


[Kohran]

They said I was madder 'n an adder! But I'll show 'em! I'll show 'em all!!


[Ogami]

All... all right, Kohran, that's enough, you've more than proved your habitual lack of sanity.

----

[Ogami]

What? So that means that we won't be able to get in no matter what!?



----


[Iris]

That's where Iris comes in!
I'll be able to slip through that kind of wall... and come out the other side!


[Ogami]

So that means we have the choice of either destroying the gate, or sending Iris through, huh...




[Rasetsu]

I'll take my revenge for my older brother Setsuna, the brother that you defeated!


----
[Kohran]

Yer related!?


[Rasetsu]

... he'd inherited his looks from our old man. I take after Mama more than anything else.


[Ogami]

... so your mother's kind of like Kanna over here?


[Rasetsu]

Nah, not nearly as huge as THAT.


[Kanna]

Hah! Take THAT, you crazy demon! Mankind can beat you in certain things after all!!


[Sakura]

Kanna-san, is this really something you should be happy about...?

----



[Rasetsu]

By the way, Ogami... before I send you all to the grave, I have one question to ask you...



----


what



i, that





----
[Ogami]

I... I CAN'T ANSWER THAT!! Are you trying to get me KILLED or something!?


[Rasetsu]

... yes?


[Ogami]

Curses, you got me there, you cunning bastard.

----

[Ogami]

........


[Rasetsu]

... I see... so that's all that the entire Flower Division means to you...



----

----

----


[Ogami]

Uwah-- what happened!?




----
[Ogami]

Hm... hahaha! You, uh, you've summoned the wrong Koubu into the deathtrap!!


[Rasetsu]

What!?


[Ogami]

Yes! I'm actually the purple one! In your face, you musclebound gorilla!


[Sumire]

WHAT!?


[Rasetsu]

... really? Hell, I can't tell you apart in those stupid colored trash can things. Alright then, if you insi--


[Sumire]

Do not allow yourself to be so easily fooled!! Our esteemed Ensign is, in fact, riding in the red Koubu!!


[Kanna]

What'd you say, you flouncy little cactus woman?! He's... he's PINK! Real men wear pink!


[Sakura]

That's right!! Please send the pink Koubu to join the white Koubu so that they may be together forever!!


[Iris]

No! I'm Oniichan! It's the yellow Koubu!


[Kohran]

It's th' green one, you dolt! Yes, send th' green Koubu over so that Ogami can repay you tenfold fer that "stupid colored trash can things" comment, an' show you th' power of SCIENCE when it's applied forcefully into your colon!


[Rasetsu]

I, uh.

----



----
[Ogami]

Sonnuvabitch, Sumire, couldn't you have just kept quiet?


[Sumire]

What rational human would have stayed quiet in that sort of situation?


[Ogami]

.... you're rational?


[Sumire]

... I hope those Wakiji tear you apart, Ensign.

----



[Ogami]

Understood!
Right, let's go, everybody! Let's fight to the Kaminarimon's opening mechanism!!


[Iris]

Understood!





NEXT TIME: First Blood!
