---Classroom---
Yuna: (More people know about us losing the Horse than I thought...)
Yuna: (Hopefully witches reappearing will distract them a bit...)
*Cell Phone Ringing*
---Phone Call---
Yuna: Sakuya?
Sakuya: Right, this is Sakuya, your wonderful right-hand girl.
Yuna: How was the response when you told people about the witches...?
Sakuya: Our members were happy, but Ryuugasaki doesn't seem to believe it...
Sakuya: They'd rather believe Juri over us, it seems...
Yuna: Sounds like they're fiercely loyal to their leader...
Yuna: But that's not the only reason they wouldn't take you seriously, is it?
Sakuya: ... the leak about the Horse is going just as badly as we thought it would...
Sakuya: If I were a Ryuugasaki member, I'd probably be thinking...
Sakuya: "Why agree to cooperate and have to split the witches with them, when we could just wipe them out while they're weak?" ... or something.
Yuna: A logical conclusion anyone could reach, except for the fact that people's lives are at stake here.
Sakuya: Yuna...
Yuna: What...?
Sakuya: I've never seen the Horse myself, either...
Sakuya: But if we really lost her, and our whole group is in danger,
Sakuya: Let me go try to negotiate a truce with Juri.
Yuna: There's no point in doing that... in fact, you couldn't pick a worse time for it.
Yuna: Going to them to negotiate is as good as admitting we're weaker than ever.
Yuna: And if they decided to take you prisoner, we'd be in an even worse position.
Yuna: You know what would happen next, don't you...?
Sakuya: *Sigh* They'd start hunting us down.
Yuna: So right now, the best thing to do is to be patient, alright?
Sakuya: ... okay.
Sakuya: Alright then, I'll try to pass the news along to more Ryuugasaki members.
Yuna: Sorry for making you do all this...
---Classroom---
Yuna: *Sigh*
*Cell Phone Ringing*
Yuna: (Did Sakuya forget to tell me something...?)
Yuna: ......!?
Yuna: (Juri.)
---Phone Call---
Yuna: I have nothing to say to you.
Juri: Oh, come on, Nee-san! Don't be so harsh with me, would you?
Juri: We spent half a year on the same team, remember?
Yuna: And then after all that time, you decided to up and leave us, Juri.
Juri: Because you weren't dealing with the "food" problem. Or did you want me to turn into a witch and sacrifice myself for the team?
Yuna: Was that really the only reason you left us?
---Flashback: Bridge---
Yuna: For all that thrashing around you did, is this really the best you could do?
Juri: Shut up, you wannabe leader. Who the hell do you think you are?
Juri: Juri the Great's been leading these girls for a full year! You think you can just start bossing us around?
Yuna: You've only been leading them with brute force and fear.
Yuna: Now that Senpai's gone, I'm the one who will carry on her legacy and give these girls some sense of stability.
Juri: And you're using brute force to get me to fall in line. How ironic is that?
Yuna: You wouldn't listen to me otherwise, would you?
Juri: ... Heh. More or less. Alright, fine. Have it your way.
Juri: But you're going to regret letting me live.
Juri: The longer I wait, the hotter my flames burn.
Juri: When I finally get another chance to fight you,
Juri: You'll be burnt to a crisp by Juri the Great's inferno.
---Phone Call---
Yuna: I defeated you and forced you to work under me for a year. I can't imagine how much you hated that.
Yuna: But it's wrong of you to get others involved in your own personal grudge.
Yuna: So let's put an end to this pointless conflict.
Juri: You've got some nerve calling it pointless.
Juri: From the moment I joined your team, to the moment I left it because of the "food" shortage,
Juri: And for the year that's passed since then, my urge to beat you has only gotten stronger.
Yuna: Leave the rest of our teams out of this.
Juri: They're doing what they're doing of their own will.
Juri: Juri the Great wouldn't force them to do anything.
Juri: If you want them to stay out of this, then feel free to reason with them yourself.
Juri: If you can really prove the witches are back, they'll probably listen to you.
Juri: But you can't, and that's why they're with me now.
Yuna: Tch...
Yuna: Can't you hold off a bit longer?
Juri: I'm not waiting another moment. I'm not gonna miss this chance.
Juri: It's war, from here on out.
Juri: Juri the Great can't forgive herself for cooperating with you for so long.
Juri: It's time for my revenge.
---Classroom---
Yuna: ... Juri.
Yuna: You're really just out to crush me...
Yuna Part 2

---Text Message---
Yuna: Juri Oba, the leader of Ryuugasaki, has declared war on us!
Yuna: If she's still the same person I knew, she could strike at any time!
Yuna: Nobody is to be alone after school! Be ready for a fight at any time!
---Street---
Girl A: Did you get the message from Yuna?
Girl B: Yeah, it seems like Ryuugasaki is really serious about this...
Girl A: It must be because they found out that we lost the Horse... do you think we can really handle them without her?
Girl B: Don't give up before the fight even starts.
Girl B: We've never even seen the Horse ourselves, so what difference does it make if we lost her?
Girl A: That's true...
Girl B: When you think of it that way, it's not like things are any different now than they were before.
---Text Message---
Yuna: There'll be an emergency meeting later today. Everyone meet up at HQ by 4 PM. If you can't make it, I'll catch you up on the details later.
Yuna: Also, keep away from Oogibashi, Monzenbashi, and West Oogibashi. Those bridges connect Torayacho and Ryuugasaki territory, so they're extremely dangerous.
---Classroom---
Yuna: ............
Student: Hang on, Prez! We have a meeting to go to!
Yuna: I know that.
Yuna: But I have some personal stuff to deal with.
Yuna: I hate to say this, but I'm probably going to be missing class a lot from now on.
Yuna: Please don't think I'm ditching you all.
Student: I see... you don't have to worry about it...
Student: Even if you're not here, nobody would think you're skipping.
Student: Because you're the one who made this school a better place for us all.
Yuna: Thank you.
---Torayacho HQ---
Magical Girl: I'd say we're still strong enough to put up a good fight against Ryuugasaki...
Magical Girl: But I don't think fighting is the best option right now.
Magical Girl: Since Juri's leading them, a lot of them are probably dissatisfied with her leadership.
Magical Girl: So maybe we could convince them to join our side?
Yuna: That doesn't sound realistic...
Sakuya: I was on the same team as Juri before we split.
Sakuya: She had a strong influence and took care of her girls.
Yuna: She may look unlikable, but she actually gets along with more people than you'd think.
Magical Girl: So if we tried to get her girls to defect, they'd probably report it to Juri right away, huh...
Yuna: Can't deny that...
Sakuya: How about we lure them into our territory and fight with guerrilla warfare?
Sakuya: Even if our numbers are even, we know the neighborhood inside and out.
Yuna: If we start with our backs against the wall like that, we'll end up cornered.
Yuna: We might crumble before they do...
Yuna: Well... if I were her, I'd probably...
Yuna: ... Maybe we should use the bridges.
*Door opens*
Magical Girl A: Um, sorry to interrupt the meeting, do you mind?
Yuna: What is it?
Magical Girl A: I brought a girl who wants to join us.
Magical Girl B: Where did she come from?
Magical Girl A: ... From Ryuugasahi.
Yuna: ............!?
Yuna: Okay, bring her in.
Yuna: What's your name?
Hikaru: It's Hikaru Kirari...! Um, sorry to turn up so suddenly...
Magical Girl: Yuna...
Magical Girl: It's way too dangerous to have a girl from Ryuugasaki around.
Yuna: ...We were just discussing how to deal with Ryuugasaki.
Yuna: How do you think Juri Oba will act?
Hikaru: Um...
Hikaru: Well...
Hikaru: ............
Hikaru: I don't think Juri's good at calculating or enjoys plotting.
Hikaru: Basically, she's uh, how should I put this? She usually focuses on one target and puts everything into taking them down.
Hikaru: She'd come at you head-on, regardless of the location. Residential area, business district, anywhere.
Hikaru: So her and her girls will probably go after whoever they can find.
Hikaru: Though I'm sure that you're the one that Juri wants to take down most of all...
Hikaru: Yuna Kureha.
Yuna: ... Heh.
Yuna: Sounds like we're on the same page about Juri.
Yuna: Alright, Hikaru. Welcome to Torayacho.
Yuna: Now let's get down to business. You'll be helping us as well.
Hikaru: Sure!
Yuna: The rest of you, go find some gems and start putting your power into them.
---Map---
Yuna: There are three bridges between Torayacho and Ryuugasaki territory. West Oogibashi, East Oogibashi, and Monzenbashi.
Yuna: The plan is to use those bridges to funnel the enemy where we want them.
---Torayacho HQ---
Hikaru: ............
Yuna: Welcome to the team, Hikaru Kirari.
Hikaru: Th-Thanks!
---Sunset Street---
Yuna: I have a favor to ask of you.
Hikaru: What's that...?
Yuna: Keep an eye on the Grief Seeds we have at the HQ.
