Magical Girl Raising Project Zero

10th Chapter: "Retribution"

CCSS Headquarters
Outside the city of Nabuka, near Tokyo

In the conference room, the Community Supreme Court council begins their topic about Magical Girl Raising Project.

Court Secretary: You may begin, your Honor. All rise.
Court Judge: Let us begin. We will be talking about the data and evidences about the most popular social media online game that are capable of transforming people to their favorite heroines in secret. Magical Girl Raising Project. A child's heroic fantasy turned to something very cruel that it made younger people kill each other. This "online game" is a threat to human life, a threat to our sons and daughters. We have the video and photos of the victims, who died participating in this game. I have now tasked our agents to perform in shutting down this game for good, before it causes any more grave harm to others.

In the intelligence department, they succeed in hijacking a signal. It is Snow White and Ripple, they are located in the cell tower.

Intel Hacker 1: We got it! Opening audio now, get ready!

Intel Staff 1: It's on!

Ripple (Audio): If you know anything about Swim Swim, I want you to tell me. I have to kill her.
Snow White (Audio): But no one is dropping out anymore, so there's no need to take anyone down or kill them.
Ripple (Audio): It's revenge. For my friend.

Daniel caught wind of this of who is she is referring to.

Daniel: It can't be, I know who is she referring to.
Intel Hacker 1: Who?
Daniel: Her friend who was pregnant, carrying a child. Her name was Tsubame Murota.

This shook everyone.

Intel Hacker 2: She can't do that. That's suicide. We'll have to get the police on the line.

They continue listening as they make the preparations. Snow White tries to reason with her.

Ripple (Audio): Later.
Snow White (Audio): Hold on!... Stop this!
Even if it meant for my survival, I could never have forgiven myself for hurting anyone else. But now we even don't have that reason. If you killed anyone now, you wouldn't be a magical girl anymore. You'd just be a murderer!

...

Ripple (Audio): I don't care if it makes me a murderer. I don't care if I'm not a magical girl anymore. Even though I wanted to be one. I admire you, Snow White.
Snow White (Audio): Ripple!

Fav joins in their conversation. The intelligence staff informs everyone.

Fav (Audio): I wouldn't recommend that, pon.
Intel Hacker 1: We got another one!

Fav (Audio): I can tell you this now, but... Ruler, the Peaky Angels, Tama, Cranberry, Sister Nana, Winterprison... Everyone who got involved with Swim Swim has died, pon. She's bad news, pon. But Swim Swim has a weakness, pon.
Snow White (Audio): You can't, Ripple!

The intelligence hacker warns them that their time is getting short to record, because they will get detected.

Intel Hacker 1: We can't record long, we'll be detected!
Daniel: Keep going!

Fav (Audio): Light and sound, pon.
Ripple (Audio): Light and sound?
Fav (Audio): Figure the rest out by yourself, pon. Just telling you that was pushing the rules, pon.
Intel Staff 2: Light and sound?
Intel Staff 3: Pushing the rules?
Snow White (Audio): Fav, why would you?!
Fav (Audio): Well, if you can't accept things, Ripple, then I don't mind continuing this game, pon. So as long as this is part of the game, not a personal duel...then you won't have a choice, pon. Well, fight hard, until you're down to two, pon. I'll contact Swim Swim on my end.
Snow White (Audio): You can't do this, Ripple!
Ripple (Audio): Thank you. I'm grateful.
