Full Metal Panic! Another 2

FMPA #02


p1
Chapter 02: Do as I say!


p2
Good!
I hadn't driven this daidara for a while, but it responded well.

Hey, Tatsuya!


p3
What the hell have you done?!
Because of your little trip from earlier, we're late!

What?!
But can't you see the truck is full of trunks!
It's already a miracle that we managed to drag along the trailer with the daidara!

And that's the same on Sakaguchi's side!
I'm saying that it's enough for today!

Whenever you look away, they're fighting again.
That's the same thing everytime!


p4
Aren't you the boss? You should anticipate those kinds of things.
*Grr
*Hopefully, I'm not like you, dad...

Stop it!

You weren't that rude with the girl from earlier!
*Let me help you, miss.
Is that so funny to provoke dad?

Whenever someone makes eyes at you, you become a totally different person!
But no one else could speak English...

Shut up!
Ok...
A good lecture, ah ah...

It also applies to you, dad!
*Dear president!
Ok...


p5
I'm going home to prepare dinner.
So stop fighting, alright?
Okay!

Everyday, she looks a little more like her mother...

Let's go, we still have work to do.

*Who knows why she came here...
*She looked like some sort of soldier...


p6
Army training grounds, Hokuriku.

Lina, keep me up to date...
about your Karamazov. Everything's fine?
No problem.


p7
I'm switching to operating mode.
Alright. Good luck!

Doug.

Their squad leader's actions are leaving me dubious.

Thanks to the capacity of their condenser, type 96 models should be able...
to operate in stealth mode...

But...
he's running his engine at full power.


p8
I don't know about you, lieutenant, but I feel like it's gonna be fun.
Staff sergeant Taira, "Yamane 2".

Paint bullets in burst mode...
and a cute little blondie as a target.

It's an exercice, godammit! I'm expecting much more seriousness!
Y-Yes, sir!

Don't you dare underestimating her!
Lieutenant Sano, "Yamane 1".


p9
We're almost at the objective.
Scatter.
Yamane 2, roger that.

Hmm...
Staff sergeant Kashima, Yamane 3.
I said scatter, what are you waiting for?

.........

Stay focused!
Or these mercenaries will beat the crap of you once more!


p10
Let's go!!
This time, I won't get surprised by this dear Lina!

"Dear Lina"?

Oshira-1, sound sensor is getting some noise coming from 1-3-5.
This point will now be referred as Sierra 1.

Reading from optical sensor on Sierra 1, new result will be referred as Mike 1.
Distance one, zero, zero, zero.

Karamazov, master mode 2.


p11
Weird...

He was detected too easily by the sensors.

Doug.
It seems like Lina understood the enemy strategy.

Perhaps.

Their squad leader is readily exposing himself...
while the two remaining units in ambush are waiting for Lina's actions.
A reliable tactics, but too obvious in this situation.


p12
Lina already experienced a similar case in Oural...
where she managed to destroy two Savages.
It's the same situation as today.

Come on, Lina, what are you waiting for?!
I'm sacrifying myself on purpose to give out your position to Yamane 2 and 3!

Arg!

Hm?
She hasn't hit me...

Yamane 3, hit confirmed.
Reported down.


p13
She anticipated our plan!

Karamazov, master mode 1.
Roger that.

It seems that she wants to fight them in close combat now.

Yamane 2, hurry up and come to me!
A single second generation model can't do anything against the Shadow!


p14
Arg!

Yamane 2, hit confirmed. Reported down.

You are in trouble, lieutenant...
I couldn't meet up with you, this Lina read all our moves.
Taira...

It's not over yet!
I'm going to face her!


p15
One left!

There she is!


p16
[nothing]


p17
Warning! Yamane 3 is using real bullets!
Real bullets?

What?!

Shit, I only have paint bullets!


p18
Aaaah!


p19
[nothing]


p20
What the hell are you doing?!

Kashima! Have you lost your mind?!


p21
No way...
Kashima... Don't do that...


p22
An accident you say?!
Colonel Shimomura!

This unit has broken rules...
And worst of all, with real bullets?
That's too many coincidences for just an accident!
That's impossible!

Don't fool with me!
Is that the way you treat allies?!

Who is responsible of ammunition here?!


p23
Stop it!
I'm assuring you that we're rigorously controling all our ammunitions!
Nothing indicates that those real bullets come from Nerima base!

And yet, they're really here...
Calm down!

According the most recent news...
there was a road works company working near the exercise point.
Civilians might get involved in this!

?!


p24
And what about cleaning everything? The day is almost over!

Yeah, alright;

Hm?!

What's this?


p25
Sorry, but we're currently working...


p26
Waaaah!


p27
[nothing]


p28
Damn you!


p29
Wait, Tatsuya! What are you gonna do?!

Wooooh!!


p30
Argh!


p31
*No way...
*An arm slave can do that?

Shit!


p32
Haa...
Haa...


p33
I'm calling for the deactivation of the limiter, Karamazov.
Warning.
This procedure is against article 9 paragraph 4 of COMS internal rules.

Red code. I'm granting myself the power of decision as pilot.
Very well. Last check... Are you confirming the deactivation of the limiter?

Do as I say!
Very well. Deactivation of the limiter.


p34
Let's go!


p35
Don't think that this injury will stop me!

You won't get away from me!
Definitely!


p36
[nothing]


p37
Haa...
Haa...
Haa...
Let's finish this.

!!

Headshot. The second sensor has been damaged.


p38
No...
Haa...
Wait...

*I'm... not...

*... done... yet...


p39
Inn where resides Ichinose company.

Waah!

This inn's onsen is a true heaven!

I should have the time to stay here for a while.

It's so hot on the construction site...
Hurry up and go home!


p40
Hey!
Can you hear me?!

Tatsuya! Are you alright?
D-Dad...

I must've passed out...

Err...

Dad... It's weird...
Tatsuya...


p41
My fingers...
won't let go...

Dad... This AS...

After what happened...
he ran to the south.
...
South, you say?


p42
That's where our inn is... And Yurika...

Sakaguchi, wake up...
If this madman is going there...

*Yurika...
*is in danger!


p43
Hey...
What are you doing?!

It should be here...


p44
I knew it would be her...

[from now on, they're speaking in english]
Hey!
Are you okay? Can you hear me?
Where... am I...

You're... the boy...
from earlier...
Hmph...


p45
Hey!
You're so pale! Are you injured?

I've been hit...
This guy...
Where is he?
He's on the road to the south.

Got it... I need...
to follow him!
Haa...
Haa...
Haa...
Come on... Get down.

Follow him? In your state?
This is madness...

Madness or not, I gotta do it!
For now...
Haa...
I'm the only one...
who can pilot an AS!

Very well...


p46
*In this case...

*I'll handle it!

I'm going to stop this military AS!


p47
No! It's impossible!
This AS piloting system is totally different from ordinary ones!

My sister...
is on the way this bastard went!
I can't stay here!

*His sister...

This crazy bastard is on his way to the inn where my sister is waiting for us!

Alright.


p48-49
*Karamazov...
*is moving according the AI instructions.
*In other words...

*I'm entrusting Shadow to you!!

Message from Shikidouji
- To the readers:
Full Metal Panic! Another
Thank you for your fidelity and your affection! I also remind you that the novels are as good as the mangas. I'd like to develop the story in thousands of different ways, but I get quickly aware that there isn't much room for that... Anyway, priority goes to cute girls! Take care!
- To Taichi:
Congratulations! The first volume of FMP! Another is out!
Taichi, excellent work, whether it be about mechas or female characters. I will try to add in each of them some hidden and strange details in accordance to the scenario. It will be up to you readers to discover them! Bye!
- Taichi's answer:
I promise to draw the best way I can all the own elements of FMP universe (laugh), especially the gorgeous girls who are the spice of this story!
