OMAKE - Volume S: Where All Shirokos Collide

---

"Shiroko! Attack!"

"Yes, it was I who killed Sensei!"

"But I killed Sensei!"

"As long as you exist in this world, I am your future!"

"No, I am!"

"Iwak."

"Not so fast! I am here too!"

"Wait, where did- Sensei!?"

The Shirokos awkwardly stood, staring at each other.

"Um… I'll go first." Sensei Shiroko – not the other Sensei Shiroko – explained, "I'm Shiroko who went back in time to fix the future and became Sensei."

"So therefore, I must be your future self." the other Sensei Shiroko rubbed her chin, doodling on a whiteboard, "And that means that my Shiroko over there must be the future version of your Shiroko."

"Good. We got that sorted out."

"Nn. Yes. Things would have gotten messy."

Past Shiroko But Small pointed, "I'm concerned about why there's two more small ones over there wearing a swimsuit and biking gear."

"Iwak." the fifth Shiroko held up a pufferfish, the sixth giving an awkward wave.

"We really need to start getting nametags."

"Nn."

"Nn."

"Nn."

"Nn."

"Nn."

"Iwak."

Shiroko Terror, Shiroko, Other Shiroko Terror, Other Other Shiroko Terror, Biking Shiroko and Iwak Shiroko would eventually all agree this entire fight was stupid and leave to rob a bank. The Shiroko Gang would become known as the most fearsome bank robbers in all of Kivotos. Eventually they would have to fight another Shiroko Gang from another universe, known as the Shiroko Terror Gang before absorbing them into their group. But then yet another Shiroko gang appeared, and another, and another until Kivotos had a percentage of the population comprised entirely of alternate versions of Shiroko-

Yurizono Seia sat up screaming in a cold sweat, before clutching at her chest, glancing around her room.

"No more cheese for me." she muttered quickly, before lying back down in bed.

Reposting my MBAIBA omake here, inspired by the "Volume S" Omake.

MX Blade: "Sensei... We're supposed to have a Kivotos-wide 'end of the world party' for you with the final chapter of the main storyline!"
Kuroko-sensei: "Nn, is that so? At least your Shiroko's doing better, not unlike me."
MX Blade: "At least we now have a name and a face for the enigmatic Sensei. Just, don't go licking feet for no reason, okay? You're gonna be a playable student soon and I don't want to fuck this up."

Spoiler: Kuroko-sensei "Official" Merch

Some time later...
MX Blade: "If Kuroko is the sensei, then... Who's gonna be Phrenapates–Oh shit, we'll have two more Kurokos... OH FUCK! MY BRAIN!!!"

Events of Volume F happen, with small Shiroko and Kuroko aiming at another Kuroko and an armored Kuroko...
Shiroko: "Blue Archive never told me about an additional Shiroko..."
Kuroko-sensei: "Nn, my arrival has complicated things."
Kuroko (Phren TL): "I'm going to end this world as you know it..."
Phren!Shiroko: "Nn."
Hoshino: "Uhee, there's too many Shirokos~"
Neru: "Thank you for teaching me, Phren-sensei... But I need to defeat you because it will mean that I'm stronger than ShirokoKawaii..."

OMAKE:
You Will Know Our Names! Questionable Nomenclature!

"Alright, Masked Swimsuit Gang. Let's decide on our codenames." Sensei folded her arms.

"Masked… what?" Serika twitched, as Nonomi hummed, "We aren't even wearing-"

"It was Nonomi's idea back when I first did this." the larger wolf explained, "It was… A spur of the moment choice at the end of our first raid. This time, if we want to shave off a few seconds, we're going to need to all agree on this before we go in."

"It does sound like something I'd come up with." the blonde hummed airily, "How mysterious! Idols by day, elegant, fashionable thieves by night~!"

"T-That doesn't sound elegant at all!"

Ignoring the angry cat sounds, Sensei dug into her pocket, producing a note, "So anyway, I have created a list of codenames that I'll be assigning you all. We should all agree on them so that we don't argue about it later during the heist. In numerical order based on your masks; Hinata Zero, Yume One, Birkin Two, Trailblazer Three, Nelson Four, Faust and finally…"

She pulled on her mask, the number six taped onto the top, "…Courier Six."

Silence.

"Um… So… I'm kinda confused…" Hifumi quietly piped up, "Ignoring the 'last time you did this' part… Don't… I get a number too?"

"Faust is a good name."

"But it messes up your naming scheme."

"The legend of Faust must live on."

"Where are you even getting these names from?" Shiroko suspiciously raised an eyebrow, "...For some reason… the one you gave me sounds…"

"I… I'm not sure, actually. They kinda just… came to me last night." her future self frowned, scratching her chin, "They seem… strangely familiar, but aside from Yume One, I don't recall ever having heard those names before."

"Well, I appreciate you rememberin'… Well…" Hoshino smiled slightly, "Guess that was a no brainer for me, huh?"

"Isn't Hinata the name of someone from Trinity?" Ayane tilted her head as she looked over the radio equipment Sensei had produced.

"It is? I didn't know that." Sensei tilted her head, "But… It does sound like the name of a great tactical expert, doesn't it?"

"I… What?"

"Um… Don't get me wrong, Trailblazer is a… pretty name!" Nonomi hummed, before suddenly shuddering and glancing down, "So why do I feel so uneasy about it? I feel like… It's a bad omen all of a sudden."

"I'll swap with you." Serika offered, "Honestly, can we just get this over with already? You're acting kinda strange."

"Oh! I feel much better now!" Nonomi perked up brightly, "Six-Sensei, can you~"

"Understood. Nelson Three and Trailblazer Four…" the large wolf slumped slightly, but crossed out the names on the list and swapped them around regardless, "Four… Wouldn't that make it even more unlucky…?"

"She is a black cat."

"Nn. Makes sense."

"Nn."

"Nn."

"Hey..."

"Um… So… Can I change mine too?" Hifumi quietly asked after a moment.

Both Shiroko and Sensei stared at her, then exchanged glances, before delivering the final verdict.

"Nno."

"Absolutely not."

"You were born to wear that name, Faust."

The Trinity girl let out a soft whine, wondering how her life had come to this.

KUROKO ARCHIVE
V3C3E9 SPECIAL PREVIEW:
Death, where is thy sting?

"She said you would be the biggest obstacle to our plan. So, there is one last obstacle to take care of."

BLAM!

PING!

Silence. Sensei stared at the girl before her silently, raising an eyebrow. The masked girl frowned, pulling the trigger several more times as the bullets from the handgun repeatedly bounced off the teacher. With each shot, the wolf girl's halo wavered slightly.

She kept firing, as Hina slowly emerged from the ruins nearby. The other attackers in the area emerged as well, watching as their squad leader emptied her entire magazine into the wolf.

Sensei, for her part, just stood there, bewildered as bullet after bullet bounced off.

"All is in vain. All is vanity." the attacking girl spoke, her voice sounding rather shaky. Clearly, she had not expected this to take this long.

"Are you trying to… shoot me to death?"

"Silence! In the name of Paradise, we the Arius Squad, will become the Eden Treaty Organization! Such is our right!" the girl removed her hat, fanning her face as she switched to full auto, blazing clip after clip into Sensei.

Sensei turned to face Hina, who shrugged back at her in return.

"Because..."

The attacker emptied her weapon, tossing it aside and pulling out a chainsaw, slamming the blade against Sensei. This had equally no effect, sparks flying every which way before the chain broke.

"All…"

Tossing the power tool aside, she swung out a dagger, stabbing it into her chest. After a few moments, the blade and handle vanished in a quick burst of blue flames, the wound instantly healing up.

"Is in…!"

Snatching up a rocket launcher from one of her comrades standing nearby, she slammed the barrel into Sensei's face, pulling the trigger.

"Vain!"

The area filled with light, flame and smoke, the recoil of the point-blank blast sending the would-be assassin sprawling onto her butt. As the smoke cleared, however, Kuroko remained standing in the middle of the crater. She licked her hand, quickly smoothing out her mussed up hair before wiping it off on her dress.

Saori stared incredulously, before suddenly gaining a malicious look and pulling out a familiar looking chopper motorbike in one hand, raising her gun with the other hand.

"Wait, don't you da-"

BLAM!

Sensei's eyes went wide, her soul escaping her body.

"No… No…! P-PALE RIDERRRRRRR!!!! YOU BASTARRRD!!!"

She promptly crumpled onto her knees, eyes rolling up as she curled up into the fetal position, sucking on her thumb with a shell-shocked expression on her face.

Saori slapped the side of her face, rapidly shaking her head, "N-No way… That would never work…"

OMAKE:

Supershiro Time! I'm Just A Passing-Through Masked Rider, Nn!

"Please! Stop that thief! My truck-!"

A black blur sped past.

The rattling sound of a bike's pedals, the one upon the bike pedaling at impossibly fast speeds.

Reaching into a metal compartment on her waist, a shining black card was drawn. One she wished she never would have to see or use once more.

However, just this once…

The wind gusted around her as she stood up on the bicycle, spreading out her arms. Her suit blew backwards in the wind, the shining mechanism strapped over her waist shining in the midday sun.

She held up the card, light glinting off it. Flipping it over, a sound like an engine revving up sounded.

"HENSHIN!"

Slamming the Credit Card down into her belt, she became light.

MASKED RIDER
<-<SH-SH-SH-SH-SHIROKO!>->​

The holographic forms of Shirokos from worlds beyond spun around her. Her body gleamed, the forms coalescing around her and forming into her iconic Abydos uniform.

The Card flew up, separating into multiple blue duplicates before embedding itself into her face. With a flash, they formed her iconic blue balaclava.

Her scarf flashed in, fluttering in the rushing wind behind her.

"Nn." the masked rider sat back down, pedaling ever faster. The bike soon overtook the truck, the rider glancing backwards briefly at the wide-eyed helmeted thugs.

"W-Who is it?! Is that even human?!"

"A-A cyborg!? That's the only way she could-!"

"This might tickle a bit."

The masked rider suddenly leapt free from her bike at the van, spinning about in the air before swinging out a foot into a flying kick.

[FINAL ATTACK-RAIDO!]
<<KUROKICK!>>​

Multiple holographic copies of the golden card glimmered in the air before her. As she flew through each, the Rider accelerated.

The helmeted troublemakers inside the van let out a shrill scream as the dark form descended upon them.

---

"Y-You actually stopped them!" the dog-person happily exclaimed, "A-although you busted my windscreen to get at them… I think I got insurance but… Couldn't you have..."

"Nn. Send the bill to SCHALE. Sensei will cover it. As for them..." the masked woman turned to face the girls who had been pulled from the van, now restrained with several ropes to a nearby lamppost, "The authorities will be here shortly."

"You bastard…!" one of the tied up helmet-gang yelled, "J-Just who are you!?"

The woman paused, looking back over her shoulder, straddling her bicycle once more.

Suddenly, she struck a pose, "Nn! I'm just a passing-through Masked Rider! Remember that!"

"ONORE, MASKED RIDER!" the troublemaker yelled as the Rider pedaled away rapidly, shaking a fist after her.

So Making Blue Archive In Blue Archive put out their entire first chapter as a Youtube video.

So I'm working on doing my own first chapter in VN style too. It'll be a while but sooner or later...

 

[Kyosuke Asatte]

Several Years Ago,
Arius Ruins.

The Arius squad commander sighed, peering up into the darkness. They had not expected to have to fight an entire SRT squad, but they had strayed far too close to the main Arius staging area.

They had to be taken care of. If they had managed to make it all the way there… Then…

Thankfully, they had managed to eliminate all of them; they were meant to make it look like the entire squad perished in the ruins in an accident.

That being said…

"Any luck finding their sniper?"

"No. She's good. We've swept the tunnels but we can't find hide or hair of her." one of her fellow Arius responded, gripping her rifle close, "The Headmistress' orders were clear; do not allow a single squad member to escape alive."

The commander let out another sigh, waving out her arm, "Check again. She might be hidden somewhere deeper in these catacombs."

Just her luck it was down here…

In this vast darkness, trying to find a single wandering target would be harder than a needle in a haystack.

"…Let's regroup for now." the commander reached into her pocket, producing…

"That thing again? If the headmistress finds out you still have that, she'll…"

"What she doesn't know can't hurt her. Plus, it's for the sake of the mission, after all." the commander shook her head as she raised the battered harmonica to her lips and started to play.

A solemn, sorrowful tune drifted forth.

From the darkness, several Arius stumbled forth, each raising their night vision goggles as they strode forth. If the commander had known, perhaps she would have likened it to the Pied Piper, calling forth rodents from every nook and cranny of the caverns with her tune.

The commander did a silent head-count.

All of them seemed present and accounted for…

All of them but…

Her.

The uniform she was wearing was clearly too small for her. A telltale set of torn rags were wrapped around her head, covering her eyes, crimson stains peeking out from what wasn't hidden beneath her hastily fastened night-vision goggles.

It didn't take much to realize what this was.

It was a clever trick. Perhaps desperate.

Disguising herself as one of her enemy's forces, hiding at the back of the squad, in order to regain her bearings. But…

With one of her key senses non-functional, she would likely get too close and…

In that moment, the commander made a decision.

"All units. We're to head deeper in. We'll be sure to recover the downed sniper there."

Her comrades saluted, turning and marching off. In the darkness, the intruder turned to march off as well, somewhat shakily stumbling as she felt for the wall of the catacombs in the darkness and-

"Except you. Stay here."

Silence.

The stranger stopped moving, jolting and stumbling about.

There was nothing that could save her now. She was blinded, in the range of her enemy.

There was nobody else but the two of them.

Her hand shakily went to the pilfered SMG clipped onto her waist.

The commander hesitated.

Then-

The sorrowful notes of the harmonica crooned through the darkness once more.

A new verse, yet somehow continuing on from where it had previously left off. Where it had previously summoned her forces to her, it now filled the air as she approached the stranger.

The blinded girl froze up, unmoving as the music grew ever closer to her, almost masking the sound of Arius combat boots on dirt. Her grip on the SMG was quivering, as if debating if she could handle a firefight in this proximity, in this state, at this moment.

The music came to a slow stop, the Arius commander looking into the goggles of the wounded enemy.

"...You're wounded."

"Y-Yes Ma'am." came the weak, shaky voice.

The commander paused, looking around. Her next words were measured, carefully picked.

"Head to the surface. Medical teams are on standby."

Arius didn't have medical squads deployed here – if any of them died here, then it was seen as all the better – but surely, whoever this was… would be able to get the support and supplies she needed.

The Headmistress didn't believe in this. She spoke of how all was in vain. How the only thing that remained was vengeance, and all that it brought about.

How hatred was the only thing that existed for them.

How she should be, at this moment, clubbing this girl over the head, dragging her in chains out of the catacombs, executing her on the spot perhaps, leaving her to wither away in this dreary, dismal hellhole; another withering corpse lining the walls of Arius.

"...That harmonica… It… You're-"

"Let me move you." she pointedly interrupted the girl's questions, gloved hands gripping her shoulders. The girl jolted, freezing up on the spot, but allowed the commander to shift her about all the same, rotating her around.

Soon, she was pointed in the direction of the exit.

"Keep walking forwards. You may need to climb slightly. The heat of the sun will guide you as soon as you reach the surface. The medical teams will be some distance away, but if you move quickly, you'll return to base before…"

She paused, taking a breath, "Before the enemy captures you again. Keep your equipment on you, but know when to abandon it to prevent from being fired upon; you cannot risk appearing as a threat. We know for certain all of them will be inside these catacombs, and you'd be at a heavy disadvantage in your current state, you see?"

"…" the girl's mouth slowly fell open.

The commander realized her… poor choice of words far too late, "W-Wait, I didn't mean it like-"

A chuckle, before a hand reached out, patting the commander's head. Thankfully, in the darkness, nobody could see her face flush crimson.

"But why…?"

"All is in vain. Vanity of vanities. It doesn't matter if you live or die. But this world will carry on for long after we do." she pulled back, tucking her harmonica away and reaching for her rifle, "I doubt many share our sentiment... But that doesn't matter. For now, just form up with the team above."

"...I'll keep that in mind, Ma'am." she saluted, before stumbling away, "...And… Thank you for your song."

"You're welcome. Now, go!"

As the blinded SRT sniper hastily sprinted away, the Arius commander let out a sigh, her entire body shaking.

Had she signed her own death warrant with this act? What if that SRT sniper warned her allies?

Well, even so… The Arius squad would be pulling out of this area soon enough once it was confirmed cleared. And it wasn't like a newly blinded person could easily guide reinforcements back through the catacombs to find them.

It would all be in vain regardless.
