Prison Uprising We Hate People With Grudges! (
Synopsis[]
The Lovely Angels' latest mission has them rushing off to Karosu Prison, a heavily armed fortress floating atop a blazing star. Seems the prisoners have all decided to riot, killing most of the guards in the process. The Marines are about to storm in and stop the uprising, but someone needs to retrieve the warden before he gets killed in the crossfire. That kind of mission takes a delicate touch, and Kei and Yuri are just the ladies for the job [1]!
Plot[]
Act One

At the 3WA, Kei complains to Gooley Andrew Francess about the fact that she absolutely has to make her reports in writing. Gooley says its her own fault for letting it pile up. Meanwhile, Yuri is in Dr. Q's laboratory. In front of two posters of Mughi, she picks up a pink cylinder which turns into three robots. Allen brings in three mugs of tea and explains to Yuri that they are just scout robots. Dr. Q who wonders if the last invention he gave her blew up a building with a single shot but instead it blew Yuri away when she pulled the trigger. Dr. Q has a ring for her that it his most powerful beam weapon yet, capable of cutting through a steel wall 2 meters thick. An announcement is made, telling Yuri to come to Gooley's office.

At the station orbiting Karosu, four marines watch a hologram of the planet below. They're discussing the prisoners demands: the marines' withdrawal, and ships. This means that they hadn't reached the docking bay when they sent it: but that was thirty hours ago, and they're approaching the time limit. The Lovely Angels enter and introduce themselves; a dark-haired marine (identified in the credits as Jeff) quietly recognizes them as the Dirty Pair. Nobody can confirm if the warden is still alive. Jeff snidely warns them about the danger. Karosu is surrounded by convection currents that billow up from below it, blocking radar signals - which means that approach routes are limited. The safest route is guarded by three gun emplacements, according to the marines' colonel. Kei suggests riding on the surface of the convection currents, to dodge fire. Yuri bets Jeff that if they make it out alive, he'll treat them to dinner. The two Trouble Consultants exit, leaving the marines to plan the first assault wave to destroy the guns and find survivors.


The marines jump from their dropship at "Height 20,000", along with bombshells - facing fire from the prisoner-operated gun stations. At Height 12,000, the Lovely Angels' pod destructs, and the two ride the current on surfboards. Watching the gunfire above, Yuri jokes with Kei about going with them - as Kei appears not to remember.
Act Two
The prisoner at the guns hits a marine, ignoring a second prisoner behind him who sees something outside. Kei leads the way onto Karosu's rocky surface, near a sewer discharge. Yuri, less balanced, appears to fall, and the board is lifted up by the convection currents - but crashes lands in a pile of rocks below, asking for help. With the Trouble Consultants now out of their space suits, Kei uses a bazooka to destroy the sewer pipe's wire fencing, providing an entrance. Yuri looks back to the marines, who - though suffering casualties - manage to destroy some gunning stations. They use this distraction to enter the sewers, shooting away a turret and entering the facility through a manhole cover. Three prisoners on the other end notice the explosion, and investigate for marines; only to find Yuri posing seductively. They rush for the trouble consultant, divided on whether to kill her or "have fun with her" - allowing her to kick one back, and Kei to ambush another using her bazooka as a blunt weapon. They both grab the remaining prisoner by the shirt, and question him about the warden's location.

While the Lovely Angels attempt to escort him to safety - Kei asking if the other guards are dead - he pushes them back and runs off. Gunfire from a station outside the window nearly hits him, along with Kei, who follows and pushes him down. Yuri attempts to fire back, but is overwhelmed - calling her partner's attention to the warden, who's running. Kei follows again, saying that she'll leave the others to Yuri; who proceeds to say "you're so cold-hearted!" as more gunfire enters through the window. The warden runs down a hall, swearing to kill everyone, and closes a sliding door behind himself. Kei hits it angrily saying that they're trying to help him.

Outside, the marines report that the warden is alive and has taken over the control room. Their command calls in the second wave. Coughing, the Lovely Angels force open a door into a safe area, which closes behind them. Yuri uses a Handheld Scanner to determine that the warden ran into the control room, and activated the gas. Kei's unwilling to go back into it to get him; but Yuri's scanner points them to a locker room where they find clear masks. Meanwhile, the prisoners that guarded the warden struggle breathing and turret attacks. The warden declares that he'll send them all to hell himself, before a blast from the Lovely Angels destroys the turret. They recognize the prisoner, but walk by, dismissing him as "harmless". The second wave of marines begins to drop in, led by Jeff.
At the control room door, Kei asks the Warden to come out; he refuses to leave until he's killed all the prisoners himself. Yuri says that the marines will handle them, but he retorts that he's not interested in his witness summons from there, calling himself the judge. Both women threaten to use force. He says that he lost his subordinates, honor, and severance pay. Kei attempts to shoot the door open, to no avail.

Prisoners have fully boarded the ship, and launch out. Marines coming in from above shoot them out of the sky. The Lovely Angels deposit the still-unconscious Warden into a mechanical mine cart, Kei stating that they should hurry before the marines' "big sweep". The prisoner who spat at him earlier arrives, firing at them. The cart starts up, hovering above a rail - the Angels having to duck a steel bars. The prisoner chases them in a cart of his own.
