Akane's attack drones strafed Maya, the girl ineffectively trying to ward them off with her kusarigama; their shots hit her multiple times. Then Magda's machineguns' bullets hit her away, and she was thrown off her feet.
Gritting her teeth in frustration, Maya got up again. She was likely to be knocked out in the next round of combat, so she had to do her best. Crouching, she took aim, then sprang, sprinting toward Akane from the western side of the swap. Meanwhile, she whirled her weapon's sickle head around...
Maya moves 09.09, attacks Akane.
"You alright?"
Carrie shouted, and probably couldn't be heard. She was one of the students who kept a communicator on her at all times, sensibly given that she was usually quite a ways into the air during battle. But in the heat of the moment she forgot the device, and there was no guarantee that her teammates had anything to receive the message anyways. Carrie just had to attack without any formal coordination with her team.
But she could go with the time honored elementary strategy of throwing stuff at a single person as a unit until that person keeled over. In this case, Maya quickly went for the attack on Akane, and logic dictated that Carrie fly over quickly and follow suit. If they took out at least one of the enemy before they could respond, it would be a two versus three. Even when she would be at the mercy of the other two, those were odds Carrie liked. Her surfboard plane thing whined as she directed it at full speed across the battlefield, building up the momentum of her movement into a single smooth throw of a bomb.
02.12 03.11 04.11 05.10 to trigger Bombing Run, then to 09.11 and attack Akane
Silva Hooooouuuuund"Sigh, Giz said aloud, and snatched a couple slices of combo pizza onto her plate, along with a bowl of green salad. Hannah was a fast eater, but she generally wouldn't scarf anything once it was actually on Giz's plate.
Generally.
In any case, if the other girls weren't going to listen to the voice of mature wisdom, she was just fine with letting the school staff be the ones to crush their hopes instead.
"Hey, if you don't want to go, you can just say so Giz." Julia smiled and and ate a slice of Pizza. "I don't know why you're so fussy, after all, we aren't really being monitored by the school staff. She was just all," Julia made an excessive frown and pushed up her glasses rather high, "'You girls just stay in groups, and be back whenever.'" Julia giggled, and looked to Hannah. "At least you and I are going to have some knid of fun, right?"

"Match! Red Team wins!" The announcer shouted excitedly over the mike as Akane fell. Cheers went up from half the onlookers as friends and backers cheered the victorious girls from Red Team. There was a much more subdued reaction from the bleachers on the other side of the field as Blue Team's supporters sighed at their defeat.
Over in the VIP section, men in dark suits clapped politely while their military counterparts talked among each other. The Americans and Israelis made no effort to hide their enthusiastic response to Red Team's win. Observers from the UK and Germany stonily accepted the outcome, though one scowling British colonel was seen handing over ten dollars to his American counterpart. A contingent of Japanese officers tried not to look too disappointed with some claiming Maya as their own to even out the loss. One of them was shaking his head and muttering, "That's not what Yamamoto would do at all."
The girls were told to leave the field so that the next match could begin. Green Team and Yellow Team passed by Red and Blue, congratulations and condolences going around, as well as best wishes for the incoming magical girls.
The match was over, and for Blue Team, so was the tournament. Despite winning, Maya had taken a beating and was being fussed over by a medical team while Carrie and Georgia observed nearby. Their second and final match of the day would be in several hours. Akane was also being attended to by the school's doctors, but for her, Magda, and Deliah the rest of the day was free.
Shore
On the other side of the water, the free day for the shore-side girls still was not going as hoped for. Prita's pan pizzas were delivered to their table, a small delight after the adrenaline filled showdown earlier. As they learned from a passing soldier, the police were interviewing everyone involved in the attack. The girls in the shop next door were the current band of witnesses being questioned.
"This blows." One civilian girl muttered in a corner booth of the pizzeria. She and her friends, all about 15 and 16, had been eating when the fighting began and now where stuck with the Atlantis students and several other patron unfortunate enough to still be there when the authorities arrived.
After shooing the medics off — she was wounded in worse ways in the past when she just got her powers — Maya walked to Magda. "Hey, Mad King," she said, pretty cheerful for a person who was just a few moments ago the target of a concentrated barrage of magical fire, "quite the assassination we did on your leader, neh?"
She pointed at Akane. "Still, well-played, deary. Want to go to the kiosk? Victory means ice-cream in my case."
Magda smiled. "Pity it was so short, though. Most of it was sneaking around the field instead of fighting!" She shrugged. "Ah, well. " She glanced up at the suited spectators. "Hm. A bit odd for that many suits to show up, don't you think? Then again I have no idea how many are at the school regularly..." She reflected.
Exist, pursued by bear"Those are officials of the military, I think." Carrie knew the American military well, at least, as she had been training under them herself prior to coming to the Academy. She nodded at Magda. "I had no choice but to prowl around waiting for a chance to strike. I'm well aware of your training against fliers like me. Delilah as well."
Silva Hooooouuuuund“Well, if you guys won't have focussed on yours truly the fight would've been longer,” Maya said as squinted at the suits. “Hm, I know the Israeli guy. He used to be in the IDF Spokeperson's Unit.”
She shook her head, making her ponytail dance. “But enough seriousness, girls. Let's go eat some ice cream!”
Taking Carrie and Magda by the hands, she dragged them to the school's cafeteria, which she insistently called 'kiosk'.
Julia looked at Giz, who- in a daze- was giving off an expression of sheer horror, and she thought Oh well, Giz can have a fun time going to the police. Julia got up and proceeded to follow Hannah. "Ok, so we need to find a way out of here fast. We can't go out front, but we can't stay in here too long."
UhGiz sat in mid-chew for a moment, not quite believing what had just happened, and then scolding herself for doubting. This was Hannah she was talking about, why was she still surprised at this sort of thing?
"Too much cilantro anyway," she muttered, sliding out of her seat to pursue her roommates, albeit at a more leisurely pace.
Stupid Hannah, she knows I can't run fast in these boots.
Julia turned around, looking for the police men. She didn't see any, but she was unsure of what to do. Lyn and Prita were still in there, but she was positive they'd make some kind of plan. Now, there was another thing. What if the police were looking in the alley? That could be a problem. "Guys, maybe we should be more careful about this."
UhPizzaria
"Run..." Hannah said as she ran with Giz on her back, thinking about how to improve Julia's plan. "...to Magic Mountain!" There. Strategy worthy of any warlord. And other girl had lost her grip for a second earlier an nearly fallen off. "If you can't hold on just sit on my shoulders so you won't fall."
