USER: (In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Yuri should've been here by now!" Sayori: "I know, it's so unlike her to be late. Do you think something happened? But now that you mention it...Natsuki hasn't shown up, either." Monika: "Hmm, it is a little strange. Maybe they got caught up with something and lost track of time? But still, they're rarely this late." Sayori: "I hope nothing bad happened to them. Maybe I should give Natsuki a call, just to check in." (Sayori takes out her phone and dials Natsuki's number. However, Natsuki immediately hangs up without saying anything.) Monika: "That's odd. Why would Natsuki hang up without saying anything? Maybe she didn't recognize your number?" Sayori: "Maybe...but she always saves my number in her contacts. And even if she didn't recognize the number, why would she hang up instead of answering?" Monika: "I'm not sure...still, none of this is making sense! Let me try calling her." (Monika dials Natsuki's number and waits anxiously. However, with the same results as before. Monika sighs in frustration.) Monika: "She hung up again...this is really weird. Something must be going on." Sayori: "We can't just sit here and worry. We should go check on them, just to make sure they're okay." Monika: "You're right, Sayori. Let's go to Natsuki's house first. Maybe she's just having some kind of phone trouble."

(They quickly gather their belongings and head towards Natsuki's house. As they approach, they notice that the front door is slightly ajar.) Monika: "That's strange. Natsuki usually keeps her door locked. Do you think we should go in?" Sayori: "I think we have no choice. We need to make sure she's safe." (They cautiously push the door open and step inside. The house is eerily quiet.) Monika: "Natsuki? Are you here?" (There's no response. They slowly make their way through the house, checking each room.) Monika: "Her room is empty. It doesn't look like anyone's been here for a while." Sayori: "What about the kitchen? Maybe she's just downstairs." (They descend into the kitchen, but still find no sign of Natsuki.) Sayori: "I'm starting to get really worried, Monika. Where could she be?" Monika: "I don't know, Sayori, but we can't give up. Let's go see if Yuri is at her house." (They leave Natsuki's house and make their way to Yuri's house. When they arrive, they notice that the lights are off and the front door is locked.) Monika: "This doesn't look good. We can't just leave it like this. Let's try calling Yuri again." (Monika dials Yuri's number, but this time it goes straight to voicemail.) Sayori: "What do we do now, Monika? I'm really scared." Monika: "I don't want to jump to conclusions, but it's clear that something is wrong. We need to tell someone, like the police or a trusted adult." Sayori: "You're right. We can't handle this on our own. Let's go find help immediately." (They rush back to the school and inform the principal about the situation. The principal contacts the police, and a search is initiated for Natsuki and Yuri.) (Meanwhile, at an undisclosed location, Natsuki and Yuri are bound and gagged, unable to escape - with Natsuki being 9 months pregnant. Their captor watches from the shadows, a sinister smile playing on their lips.) Captor: "Having fun, my little poems, nya? Your club president won't be able to save you this time, nya." (Back at the school, Monika and Sayori see that the clubroom is now completely ruined.) Monika: "What... What happened here? Who could have done this?" Sayori: "I can't believe it...our club...our safe space...it's all destroyed." Monika: "We need to stay strong, Sayori. We have to believe that Natsuki and Yuri will be okay. The police will do everything they can to find them." Sayori: "I know... But it's so hard not to worry. We always tried to create a comforting environment in this club, and now everything feels so broken." Monika: "We can rebuild, Sayori. We can't let this situation break us. We have to stay united for Natsuki and Yuri." (As they start cleaning up the clubroom, the police arrive and begin their investigation. Monika and Sayori anxiously answer their questions, giving any information they can to help.) Officer: "We'll do everything we can to find your friends. In the meantime, it would be best if you two stayed together and in a safe place." Monika: "Thank you, Officer. We appreciate your help. We'll do our best to support each other during this difficult time." (With heavy hearts, Monika and Sayori find solace in each other's presence. The days pass with no news about Natsuki and Yuri, and the clubroom remains closed. As they wait, hope and fear intertwine, not knowing what fate has befallen their missing club members.) (Weeks later, a breakthrough occurs in the investigation. With new leads and evidence, the police are able to track down the captor's location. A raid takes place, and Natsuki and Yuri are rescued - even if Natsuki was now in active labor. Suddenly, their captor leaps down from the ceiling.) Captor: "You thought you could escape, didn't you, nya? But you're not leaving here alive, nya-" Yuri: "Oh for God's sake, STOP SAYING NYA!" Captor: "Wha-?" Natsuki: "Yeah, seriously. It's annoying and creepy. Just stop it already." (Yuri and Natsuki exchange glances, their determination rising.) Yuri: "We've endured enough of your twisted games. It's time for it to end." Natsuki: "Yeah, we're not going down without a fight!" (Together, Natsuki and Yuri charge at the captor, surprising them with their newfound strength and determination. With a series of well-placed kicks and punches, they manage to overpower the captor and free themselves.) Monika and Sayori (bursting into the room): "Natsuki! Yuri!" Monika: "You're safe! We were so worried!" Sayori: "We missed you so much!" Natsuki: (with a determined smile) "We're okay, thanks to each other and the help of the police." Yuri: "Indeed, we couldn't have done it without everyone's support." Captor (groaning on the ground): "You won't get away with this, nya!" Monika (firmly): "We won't let you harm anyone else. The police are outside. Your reign of terror ends here." (Just as the police storm in and apprehend the captor, the weight of the ordeal starts to lift off everyone's shoulders.) Officer: "You all did an incredible job, especially Natsuki and Yuri for their bravery. We'll make sure this person faces justice. But first, let's see who this mysterious figure is." (The police remove the captor's mask, and the girls step back in shock.) Monika, Yuri, and Sayori: "AKASHI?!" Natsuki: "Wait, Akashi?! From that mobile game I used to play - Azur Lane?!" Officer: "That's right. It seems that Akashi had been harboring malicious intentions all along. We're still investigating her motives, but for now, let's focus on your safety and well-being." Akashi: "I'll never reveal my true intentions, nya! You'll never understand the lengths I went through just to bring chaos to your perfect little club, nya-" (Akashi's eyes fill with horror as she sees Natsuki's true, draconic Stormcutter form - before collapsing. Monika, Yuri, Sayori, and the police officers look at Natsuki in awe and confusion.) Officer: "What...what just happened?" Natsuki (reverting back to her human form): "I...I don't know. I've never been able to do that before." Yuri: "It must be some sort of dormant power that awakened during our captivity. But how?" Monika: "Right now, let's focus on getting everyone out of here and making sure you all receive the proper care and support." (Soon after, the police escort everyone out of the location, ensuring their safety. Natsuki, Yuri, Monika, and Sayori are taken to the hospital for medical check-ups, while Akashi is taken into custody for further interrogation.) Akashi: (angry at the interviewer) "I won't say a word without my lawyer present, nya!" Interviewer: "That's your right, Akashi. We will provide you with legal representation. But I hope you understand the severity of your actions and the consequences you will face. Now tell me - why did you kidnap Natsuki and Yuri?" (Knowing that there's no way past the interviewer, Akashi calms down and tears of sadness fill her eyes.) Akashi: "You wouldn't understand, nya. You have no idea what it's like to lose a close friend, nya. But she...she was my best friend."friend, nya. Her name was Bismarck, and she was the best battleship shipgirl friend I could've asked for, nya." {FLASHBACK}
