I've noticed something odd: The templar anti-demon tank looks weaker than one of Nepgear's soldiers.
Templar Anti-Demon Tank
Attack: 25 base damage, 50 blessed napalm, some dice roll (how exactly does this work??)
Defense: 1000 health, 100 base resilience, some dice roll?
Explodes on "critical failure" (dice roll?) for 250 base damage, 50 blessed napalm, remaining health
One of Nepgear's soldiers (like Richard Nixon)
Attack: 250 base damage
Defense: 500 health, 100 base resilience
some other mostly yet-unknown abilities
Is that actually correct?
Also, you misspelled "Magical" as "Magicel" in this post: Crystalwatcher's Magical Girl Quest!

It IS in story!
She's uh...weak to being equipped because she's bad at grapples.

Fixed the typo. Also, the data for the fight was mostly balancing issues to ensure I didn't make the quest last only one post because that'd be boring.

You stare at the cup of orange juice in your hand for a moment. Name eh?
You were probably going to regret it but... "To Team GEAR." You raise you glass, holding it at eye level as the ret of your team looks at you. You stare at them resolutely while they process what you said. If you were going to be stuck with the damn nickname that spawned off your sister, then the rest of them could share the misery.
With a chuckle, Richard raised his own glass, "I can get behind that." And with that the dam broke. It took mere moments for the rest to raise their own glasses, and join in the toast, and with it, sealing their agreement to the team name.
"To Team GEAR!"

"So, what's everyone's plan for this afternoon? I'm going to be looking into how the front is going, just to keep an eye on how the war is." James says.
Jessica is first to respond, "I need to return a book to the library. I'll swing by there, then return to the barracks for some shut eye."
"Need to bring my equipment in for a few repairs from the training exercise today. Since someone left me hanging." Richard looks to you pointedly, and you frown at him. It's is own damn fault for causing the whole mess.
Michael and Samael both roll their eyes before announcing their own plans. "Sam needs to swing by the base store. He's running a bit low on supplies for his hobby and I'm going with to pick up some rubbing alcohol for my med kit."
They then all look at you in expectation. Plans? Hm... "I want to meet the other Magical Girls on the base. So I'll probably be wondering around."
James nods at that. "Understandable. If I remember correctly, there's only five on base right now. Including you, Goddess Gold, and Red Rose. The other two are Truth and... Life Drinker I think? I can't remember her name to save my life. Anyway, Truth is probably over with the Regular grunts giving out sword lessons, and Miss-Whose-Name-I-Can't-Remember, tends to hang around the helicopter pads with her pet. When your ready, we should all be done and get ready for another long day tomorrow."
You nod and thank him, as GEAR leaves the cafeteria, giving you a chance to hunt down the other two Magical Girls currently on base.

First stop you make is at the Sword Fighting grounds: the sound of clashing metal fills the air as groups of infantry swing blades at one-another. Human soldiers held an advantage against the legions of demons that acted as the Unified Darkness' main attack forces, but that tended to hold only until they closed the range: a gun didn't do very good when your opponent was literally in your face, swinging a blade almost half your size at you.
So many soldiers had taken up some form of melee combat, the most popular being bayonets, with sword coming in a close second.
Jessica herself had a rapier that she carried with her, though you didn't know how good she was with it. Or how strong it was.
Towards the northern end of the base though, was a place set aside for soldiers to learn whatever melee weapon they chose, should they take one up. Red Rose was known to give combat lessons, as well as a number of other Melee-oriented magical girls. And instead of taking it as an insult, a lot of soldiers took them up on the offer.
The reason? A Demon Foot Soldier was almost twice as physically strong a baseline human. This meant that they could swing their steel swords with enough strength to dent the titanium armor that had become standard issue with each blow. So, in return, a Human had to be skilled enough with their chosen weapon to negate that strength advantage. And one of the best ways to do that was to fight someone with a similar power advantage that wasn't actively trying kill you.
Thus the lessons.
In the center of this training ground, roughly a dozen soldiers with various weapons surrounded a rather demonic looking girl.
Magical Girl Truth was a rather average MG, but was semi-famous for her love of training human soldiers. Her massive blade was known to be nearly indestructible and her armor, if it could be called that, was enough to repel small-arms fire. Her powers you didn't know, but it was a wide-spread fact that she had an aura that prevented people from lying when around her.
How it went about this wasn't disclosed, but it was known to effect literally everyone and everything. Even Demons couldn't escape the truth-causing effect, which had lead to more than one Dark General to be publicly executed during a fight by their lords. The most notable of which had been the Battle of Las Vegas, when a Dark Lord had invaded the famous city in order to use it as a staging ground for his invasion of the rest of the Earth. Truth and Red Rose had broken into their headquarters with about a half dozen other magical girls, and she had asked the present Dark Generals if they had truly served their lord with all their might.
When both of them said yes, she asked if their lord was in the room with them on reflex, and got both to say no. Considering the Dark Lord they were supposed to be serving was in the room with them it had led to a few moments of awkwardness that ended with the Lord killing his two generals and Red Rose killing him while he was indisposed.
Back at the training field though, Truth was swinging her sword with a single hand, sending the soldiers she was sparring with flying in groups of two or three a swing. The whole time she was doing this, she also taunted them with insults in Russian and Korean. Weather or not they even understood them was up for debate, but it motivated them enough to come at her again.
She sent them flying shortly thereafter.
"Halt! That's enough for now. You all look thoroughly abused right now." The soldiers stopped trying to fight again, some moaning in frustration, while others sighed in defeat. "You're all getting better. A bit more work on timing your attacks and I might have to start using both hands to keep up. Anyway, I'll let you all go for now so I can meet the new girl." She turned around, facing you directly as the soldiers picked themselves up off the ground. From where you stood, she was easily taller than you. Heck, she was almost as tall as Jessica really. "So... new girl eh? Red Rose has been ranting about how cute you are. And I have to say: Your definitely perfect little sister material. Wanna go home with me?"
"Eh?" That wasn't a question you were expecting. "Umm... Rei kinda already claimed me as hers?" Your not sure what else to say... but the pouting frown on what was definitely an evil-looking face was jarring as hell, "Umm... what exactly did you mean by that anyway?"
The pout doesn't go away, but she replies. And you quickly wish she hadn't: "I'm a bit of a sis-con. But none of my little sisters ever want to do anything with me."
Oh, you wonder why. Shell shocked, you thank your lucky stars that Truth had somewhere to be and didn't stick around much longer.
Trying to scrub the image of Truth 'glomping' you in the middle of the base, you half-stumble your way to the Air Field where they parked the helicopters.
Once there you're met with another shocking sight.
Namely: Magical Girl Carnage. Another relatively mediocre magical girl, but known as the most psychotic fighter for the Unified Light. And number six on the Popularity Polls for MGs.
She was known for her love of battle, and the focus all of her powers had on it save for one: the ability to summon a powerful dragon.
The White Dragon wasn't a dragon in the true sense of the world, being a purely magical construct. But it had all the same strengths as the Dragons that roamed the Local Dimensional Cluster.
Power-wise, Carnage wasn't very notable in any aspect. Instead she excelled in wholesale slaughter of the forces of Darkness. One on one, she was hard to take down. One on a thousand, she was virtually unstoppable. And it was also thanks to her rather skewed personality that very few people actually interacted with her.
Why you were doing it was probably going to be up for debate for years to come.
"Oh? Someone has come looking for me? What does the little flower want?"
Her voice is husky and soft. The huge dragon behind her rests softly on the ground, cracking open an eye as you approach. Stopping barely five feet away, you sketch a jerky bow. "I- um... I'm the new girl. I was going around in hopes of meeting the other Magical Girls on base. I hope we can be friends..." The smell of blood is heavy around her. You can also smell a thick layer of soaps and perfumes, an obvious attempt to cover the smell of blood, but..
Carnage walks closer to you, bending over slightly in order to look you in the eye. The flower sprouting from her left smells slightly of decay and rot. But the perfume mostly masks it's smell, even at this range. "It's not often anyone chooses to seek me out. Even rarer one tries to befriend me. Considering most of them die." She smile would be kind if it wasn't for the hint of teeth. But... you could see a hint of sadness in her eye. "If you want to be friends, then fine. Come back here sometime after training and we can hang out. I'm not to be deployed again for another week." Her acceptance is surprising, and rather sudden.
And with that, she turns away from you, and promptly begins to ignore your existence.
Taking the dismissal for what it is, you promptly turn around and walk away your self. Doesn't seem like she was all that bad.
A bit before you had to be down for the night. You might be able to squeeze something else in...

I like it, as a dramatic transformation. But our big sister was brutally murdered. Why are we so blase about people wanting to replace her?
Or are they all making fun of us for looking like the magical girl in this video?

I have to agree, where's my damn trauma induced flashbacks (seeing her dead sister every time someone tries to claim her as their little sis and hating them for it just a little bit... then again Purity, so Hate might not be on the table. Just Upset then?). Also, we have a sudden fall out with Rei when she tries to upgrade us from Pet to Little Sister.
Let's go be friends with Carnage/Zero, there is no way this can go wrong obviously. And she probably doesn't want any new sisters either if all her's do/had exist(ed) at some point.

It's the Nepgear curse.
INB4 fighting Darkness and some of the Dark Magical Girls start going 'Join our side! Be my little sister' right before Gold shows up out of no where with a Rider Kick.
Edit: Also is that Hellboy as a magical girl?
The other one I've seen before in the Kingdom Hearts Nobody quest, still don't know what work she's from though.
Because in my mind at any rate, even when big sis was alive random older girls were like 'BE MY LITTLE SISTER'
It's the Nepgear curse.

Poor girl, no wonder her sisters don't want to be near here. The truth hurts.
But the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
From lies.
Maybe not other things, but hey, no lies amarite?
No. The first one is a Black Rock Shooter (TV series/anime)... antagonist? Kind of. The show only really has one clear protagonist, the rest are kind of grey area in some way or another. Her name is Black Gold Saw.
The other is from Drakengard 3... that shit be weird yo. Beautiful, but weird. Nier is a goddamn beautiful and tragic piece of work, Fridge style tragedy especially, that's set in... Well an Earth that got interrupted by the Drakengard plotline. Dark_Id has a great LP of Drakengard in the LParchive, Drakengard 2 as well but you can skip that one... no, seriously, skip it. Drakengard 3 is pretty good... if you can get over the times it pushes you out of your comfort zone. DG3 is also a prequel to DG1, hence not needing DG2... or even 1 really to enjoy it.
The localization did a bad job of Zero though, made her sound angry instead of the... sardonic, I guess, tone her Japenese VA had going.
