The time is now exactly 6:10 am, exactly 10 minutes after the first fleet had attacked the Web base over the Pacific while next batch of Index reinforcements fly at top speed towards the enemy base.The pilot in the further-most plane nods when she sees the base up ahead. “Coming up on the base now.” She said as she leads the dozens of planes behind towards the base.Her co-pilot whistles at the sight. “The first squad really made a mess huh…” The co-pilot chuckled and the pilot nods as they take in the large base where the first batch of Index planes had been parked.The large complex was littered in bodies, smoke and several marks of destruction as far as the eye could see. The pilot from the next plane sighs. “I only wish I was there to see it.”Some of the other pilots and agents chuckle just as the lead pilot speaks again. “Beginning descent.” She nods at her co-pilot who hits some switches, causing the plane to slow down while she lowers its nose to descend while the other pla
A few minutes after the clash against the two Web Aces, Hana helps Amanda settle the unconscious Vivian and Veronica down on the ground.Amanda glances at Guren’s body, smoke still emerging from her burnt off neck before speaking. “I thought we wouldn’t make it.”MJ smirks, seated with her back against a pillar as she speaks up. “Come on, it’s us we’re talking about…” She suddenly winces in pain from the effects of her powers. “I don’t think we should keep going.” Hana suggested and while Amanda nods in agreement, Felix stares off into space for a moment before standing up. “Felix?”Felix clenches and unclenches his fist to test his movements before responding. “I still have some juice left in me. I’m gonna keep going.”“Then I’m coming-” Hana tries to stand but stumbles back down from the heaviness now in her body.Felix turns to her, concern on his face as he speaks. “That Reaper gear you use always affects your body. You should stay here and wait for backup…”Based on her helpless
Somewhere on the lower floors of the Web’s HQ, Agent Steel evades a punch from a large tron wearing multiple breakers like Wick a year ago. He quickly grabs the tron by the head and smashes his face into his knee. As the tron clutches his broken nose in pain, Steel clenches his steel covered fist and smashes into the tron’s gut.The man goes down with a heavy thud and Steel lets out a heavy sigh to dispel his assault mode. As reinforcements finally arrive, Steel speaks to them. “Restrain those who are still alive. Those with medical experience, tend to the injured, the rest, follow me.”“Sir!” The man replied and Steel charged forward, recalling Kenji heading first once they got Felix’s distress signal.“Don’t get yourself killed, Kenny.” Steel mumbled as he continues forward with a group of agents behind him…Meanwhile, in a certain room on the lower floor, Kenji stared in awe as Felix’s Big bang gear slowly fades away while two figures fall through the thick smoke.He quickly leap
Inside the headquarters of the top secret tron assassination group; the Erased, Alana narrows her eyes at the Web Ace; Razor who suddenly claimed to be her sibling.She scoffs at him. “Shouldn’t you be hauled up in a hole with your Web friends somewhere?”Razor chuckles as he casually tosses his mask around as he speaks. “We were ordered to stand by for the time being, so I thought I’d drop by and in case you’ve forgotten ‘Alana’…” Her brows twitch at the way he said her current cover name. “You’re an Ace too.”Alana suddenly creates a kunai and hurls it at him which he stops with his powers and began to control with his mastron abilities. “You and your temper. It’s one of the reasons mum has so much trouble with you.” He said.She glares daggers at him as she speaks. “You are years too late to start acting like a brother.”“Oh come on, sis. I know we haven’t seen eye-to-eye since dad’s death but that doesn’t mean I don’t care about you two. Especially since, I at least try to call mu
For the next two days, Alana spent her time mostly training in the Erased home base like how she used to ever since she was a child.There was even a session where her mother asked her and her brother, Razor to go up against dozens of apprentices unarmed and in the end, they defeated all of the apprentices without some much as a scratch. And despite how much her brother tried to ‘interact’ with her, she still holds the same hostility to him since she was 6.Eventually, her time was up and after one last parting spar with her mother, she left the base and got on a late night plane back to Central Africa, bearing in mind the new mission given to her.Hours later, she arrives at the campus around the early afternoon and after quickly catching up with the girls, she ended up spending most of the day relaxing and planning in her room. Later that night, she and her friends all walked out of the dinner room after a nice peaceful meal. As they chat and walk, Hana notices the stern look Feli
In the common room of Levi’s dorm, Alana fixes her attention on B who rubs her head before speaking up. “I’m sure you recall the short battle my master had with Zero almost two weeks ago.” Alana shivers as she recalls the dangerous aura Levi gave off. “How can I forget it?” She grumbled, hugging herself and B nodded sadly. “From the memories I have of him, Levi has been a person who would never act to kill another human no matter who they are. It was a vow he made to himself a long time ago.” “Vow?” Alana asked but B pays no mind to her as she goes on. “Even when he found out that Zero’s only part human, he still had some restraints on killing her. And as irritating as that trait can be sometimes, I’ve grown to love it as one of the things that made him……unique. But in that particular moment, that restraint vanished.” B trailed off. Alana creases her brows because it comes as a shock to her since he tried to stop her from killing her own teammate during the tournament despite no
An hour after Peter’s message to Levi, Peter arrives and picks up Levi, Felix and Amanda before taking them to one of the Southern Index’s medical centres which happened to be the same hospital where Nina was transferred to on request from Levi and Peter.While they wait for a debrief of the message, Levi and Peter decided to visit Nina again.Minutes later, the two trons find themselves in Nina’s hospital room. The room was warm and completely silent other than the low beeps of the heart monitor or the steady breathing of Nina as she lays unconscious on the bed. They watch anxiously as a nurse quickly but skilfully cleans up the stitching done to Nina’s left torso.The nurse then closes up the area with the blanket and nods at them before exiting the room. Levi moves closer and takes the seat beside her bed.“Nina? It’s Levi.” He said as he reaches out and gently squeezes her arm but she was remains as unresponsive as she was for the past few weeks.His eyes darken as he stares at h
Time passes by and the Index had already begun preparations for the Web’s scheduled exchange.All citizens in Bangui were evacuated due to a potential ‘biohazard report’ but it was nothing more than a ruse created to clear the battlefield while simultaneously serving as cover for the Index to set up the generators needed for the plan. The 7 trons that are meant to participate in the mission spent their time polishing their bodies, minds and gears.The four students involved in particular were especially tense from the preparation and their close friends could feel it. After what felt like an eternity…… the day finally arrives.With just over 4 hours left before the operation, Levi in a pair of shorts stands in front of the mirror in his room as he finally unwraps the bandages on his arms.A frown comes on his face when the last bandage falls to the ground and he stares at his arms, covered in dried up scars and a large scorch patch on his left elbow. As he runs a finger over the dee
