The Cauldron of Black: All-Out Assault

Recalculating Strategies
Angelika was rarely an angry person.

Annoyed, certainly. She was annoyed when she initially had to deal with the antics of her V-14 squadmates. She was frustrated when she had to deal with Kenja changing the flow of her organization to suit his desires. The only time where she had lost her cool is during her fight with Ryūketsu, as a result of constant problems courtesy of Yashin. Outside of that, she was little more than a calm, collected and composed individual. It was one of the main reasons as to why she was the leader; Asuka was less hardened and left with the burden of being a clan heiress, while Mōka was far too emotional.

But as she sat at the table of the Alliance Council Room with her face in her hands, she realized that this might've been the angriest she ever felt in a long time.

"I... I don't even know where or how to start with you." She hissed, her voice partially muffled by her palms. "I almost don't want to look at you two right now. Never in my life have I been so angry and so embarrassed with another living being, let alone two. Congratulations, Captain-Commander Hana Yūgure and Knight Commander Elizabeth Stronghelm. You've actually managed to bring me to the last threads of my patience. Even if you didn't intend to, you should consider yourselves proud for accomplishing such a difficult feat."

"Kacho," Shou said softly, approaching her flank and regarding her with a mixture of wariness and worry. "Please calm down. I know this hasn't been the best turn of events, but I'm sure they had nothing but good intentions behind them--"

"Oh, I'm sure their intentions were very pure." Angelika fired back, dragging her hands down and setting them on the table. The eyes that were glaring holes at the other two lead women also had slight bags underneath them, as if the entire situation had exhausted her. "Maybe they can explain it at their leisure to Ultharon once he breaks free from those chains of his, if he doesn't happen to kill them on sight."
