only text are sfx bubbles, all say "po" (falling rain, perhaps use splash?)
left line: A fierce downpour rains down upon Labona. Miata steadies her blade at Galatea...

04
-Kuh---
-Gu...!

05 no txt

06
-Shi--

-NGH!!

sfx: Biki

07
all three sfx bubbles: haa

-I thought you were supposed to be a superior defense-type soldier...
-But even you have your limits I see

08
-Why not admit your defeat?
-I mean, it's painful even for me to watch that pathetic figure of yours struggling to survive

all sfx's are "haa"

-I just don't get it
-For what are you fighting?
-Just what possessed you to take this ridiculous risk of hoping that the other soldiers sent to kill you would turn around and cooperate?

-From my point of view,
-I never imagined you to be the naive type to cling to such wild delusions...

09
-Well, it's not like I didn't see this coming
-It's just that I didn't have any other options but to place my bet that it might work, no matter how small the chances

-I doubt you'll find my incentive appealing
-I just want to protect this city and all those who live in it
-It's as simple as that.

-Are you serious?
-That reason's almost pathetic enough to make me laugh

-Really, you too?
-I thought the same way...

10
-But strangely enough, it's not all that bad
-You should give it a try yourself sometime

-hmph

11
-Yeah...
-This is...
-This is the right thing to do...

-We don't stand a chance against the Awakened form of the former number 2...
-I have no reason to put Miata in danger like that...

-For right now,
-We've got to finish our mission as soon as possible
-Then, if we report the situation to the Organization, then surely...

-MOVE!
-You're in the way!

12
-Spearmen! First squadron stand ready!
-Second and third squads, prepare to attack!

-Eh?
-Ah---

-T-there's nothing you can do!
-No matter how hard you try, you can't damage her!

-We will do everything we can
-If you're not going to fight then stand back!

-Wha...!

13
-Hurry!
-There's no time!

-Take off all your armor!
-Lighten your load as best you can!

-E-excuse me,
-What are you doing?

-We're going to launch an attack from behind after the spearmen attack
-We're going to try to aim for her head, just like before

-Eh!?

-But it didn't work!
-This time we'll try several men at once
-Because her attention will be drawn to the attacking squadrons, we'll have a chance to attack

-If our attack is perfectly simultaneous,
-Our chances for success will be just a bit higher than last time

14
-N-no way...!
-You're going all out with next to no hope of survival!?

-Didn't I just tell you? We will do everything we can.
-This is our only option in the first place...

-Are the men in position?
-Yes
-They've scattered

-If only my arm wasn't injured...
-Shit!

-The assault squad will attack from behind on our mark!
-Ready your weapons!

-W-
-Wait!!

15
-FIRE!!

-They just don't know when to quit, do they?
-I'm just not in the mood to play with you right now

16
-It's useless no matter how many times you try
-Allow me to return them...

17
-No!!
-That's the wrong target!

-Eh!?

-Gotcha!

-Wha...

-RUN FOR IT!

18
-damn!

19
sfx's - boko (all the same)

-What a shame. What you people see is just for show
-If you wanted to cut this body, you should have cut all the hair from my true body below...
sfx's - boko

-Kuh!!

-Oh, you're coming at me?
-But you haven't shaken off that little soldier yet

20
-Ch!

-She's such a good girl
-So loyal to the Organization's orders

-It looks like she's getting upset and can't see what's around her
-She's certainly strong, but still too inexperienced

21
-Ku...

-What...?
-Her speed and power are dropping...

22
-Hey brunette!
-Take a look at your partner's body!
-What's going on?

-Going on...?
-What...

-MIATA!
-STOP IT AT ONCE!

-Mama
-mama

-I don't
-believe it

23
-mama
-mama
-my body
-hurts

-Miata...
-Why...

-Agasa...
-it's you...

24
-What? I started easy on her! Just light scratches...
-Then, once she got used to the pain, i just upped the damage, little by little
-Her makeover took a lot of work, you know!

-Guh...

-it hurts...
-it hurts...
-mama...

-Ah...
-Ah...!

-What do you think?
-Isn't she a work of art?

left: "Blood Red" Agasa's strength exceeds all expectations...The curtain is drawn, with Labona as the stage for her artistic slaughter!
