This alternate turn of events would occur if Haruhi never officially existed and the SOS Brigade was never formed. As such, the infamous LHS, "Hare Hare Yukai", never caused the events of Nov. 9, 2007 to happen, and superslinger2007 (persona), unable to create a virtual backup of himself, died on March 17, 2008 instead of 2009. However, Jack (ss07 the user) would subsequently still be COMPROMISED at a convention in May 2010, and a lot of +involvement would occur.
This series of events assumes that some events in previous chapters did not happen due to repercussions in this timeline.
The young girl turned out to be Tsukasa, and the green onion missiles were targeting her. "Wait!" she screamed while waving her hands in a panic. "It's not like that! I didn't mean--!"
Six missiles flew right above Tsukasa's head. They circled around and aimed for this exact same spot once more.
"IN-COM-IIIING!" Heavy yelled as he revved up his minigun Sasha at a safe distance. He set loose a storm of bullets that crossed the missiles' path.
"Get them!" shouted Medic. "Raus, raus!"
BLAM! BLAM!
Tsukasa pulled her head down as two explosions went off just above her. "...Uh, wha?" she asked as the storm of bullets stopped and Heavy gave a short laugh.
"Keep it up!" said Medic. He then silently watched what would come next.
Sniper was still at stage right. "Wicked!" he cheered, pumping his fist into the air. He looked slightly to his left and noticed one of the missiles, in the distance, heading back toward Tsukasa. He raised his rifle's scope, and took his shot.
BANG!
BLAM!
The resulting bright orange flash threw a passing missile off course and right past Tsukasa as it crashed next to her.
BLAM!
Tsukasa turned away in a slight panic and covered her eyes.
Sniper chuckled to himself. There were two of those strange missiles left, and he was in the right state of mind. He quickly located another missile, and kept it in his sight.
"Steady, steady!" he said.
Kzzzzz-BLAM!
The missile exploded, but it wasn't Sniper who took the shot this time. He realized that the electric noise that destroyed that missile came from somewhere to his left. He moved his rifle down.
"Well, I'll be stuffed!" called Sniper as he waved at the left side of the concrete seating. "This is going to be a real piece of p-ss!"
A woman, with red hair in a long ponytail, and a scarf, stepped backwards from behind the seating, while holding her rifle in her hands. "Ahh, you think so, don't you?" she asked amusingly. Her name was Yoko. She wore two yellow pins and a skull-shaped accessory in her hair, and was dressed in what Spy called "Daisy Dukes and a bikini on top". The rifle she used had a more complex scope, and seemed to run off an electric box at its shoulder rest.
Medic seemed overjoyed. "Ha ha ha! Oktoberfest!"
Pyro did not understand his reaction at all. "No," he replied.
Zoey appeared onscreen again. "Ooh-kay, big rifle," she said, noting that her rifle was really long compared to its user.
Yoko had finished reloading. "Mm-hmm," she agreed. She then turned to her right. "Take a good look," she told Sniper.
"Okay," he replied.
Yoko placed her rifle at the ready, as she heard a quiet maniacal chuckle from Soldier. She peeked to her left in disgust, but she had no time to worry about him.
"Incoming!" she heard Sniper yell.
The last missile rocketed in from the distance, right at Tsukasa herself. But Yoko was ready.
Kzzzzz-BLAM!
A thin white light flew right at the missile and destroyed it. Tsukasa moaned, but quickly stood up and waved at Yoko.
"Now that is how it's done!" cheered Sniper.
Tsukasa turned to her left and saw a girl with shoulder-length mint-green hair and shy blue eyes walk slowly toward her. Her name was Minami. Although a quiet and reserved girl, she was normally often seen with Yutaka. However, some circumstances, which even she didn't know about, prompted her to find Tsukasa.
"Are you all right?" Minami asked softly.
Tsukasa nodded. "What's up?" she asked.
Heavy, who was watching the action from a closer position to the stage, laughed happily as Sniper cheered from the stage. Heavy munched on his Sandvich. "Nom nom nom, om nom."
"We did it! We did it! We did it!" Yoko cheered as she skipped over to the other two.
"Thanks a lot!" said Tsukasa.
Yoko nodded and turned toward Minami.
"But..." Minami began as she tapped her chest and looked at Yoko enviously. "Still, I'm not happy about it."
"I don't think any more of them are gonna come today," Yoko reassured Tsukasa, referring to the strange missiles.
However, the sound of a "whoop- wah- wah-hah!" prompted confused looks from the three of them, and interrupted Yoko.
Spy had also arrived, but stayed at a distance. He uncloaked and muttered, "Oh no..."
"Yo, there's a dinger for ya!" Scout called.
"This is getting old really fast," sighed Yoko.
"What are you talking about?" asked Tsukasa.
As a red-haired girl was sneaking past behind him again, Scout stifled his laugh. He nodded to the beige anthropomorphic rabbit wearing an orange dress standing beside him.
The rabbit nodded her head as she spoke in a feminine voice. "You guys are so amazing! We'll have to start practicing harder than ever now. Oh, but please go easy on us!"
However, Tsukasa realized that this rabbit, who was named Cream the Rabbit, had a similar voice, if not the exact same voice as she had! Her face fell into shock. Then, she suddenly blurted. "Aaah!" She collapsed to her knees. Yoko and Minami gasped as they bent down to comfort Tsukasa.
"I can't believe you'd be so blunt about it!" moaned Tsukasa.
"You-- you just know?" asked Yoko. She had a feeling of why she, Tsukasa, Minami, and now Cream, came together. It must have had something to do with that Vader lookalike from half a year ago meeting her and giving her the impression that he didn't know "who the hell he thought she was". But for the moment, she had to cheer up Tsukasa, somehow.
