Hours earlier, Jake and the rest of Squad Target excluding Levi finally landed at their destination, which happened to be a large secret Index facility.
As Mrs Norman exits the plane with her guards in tow, two agents approached and saluted her. “I hope things are going well.” She asked.
“No problem so far, ma’am.” A lady said and Mrs Norman nods at them before gesturing for her guards and Target’s squad to follow.
As they walked through the large complex, Jake glances at the powerful weapons, trained soldiers and mind-blowing equipment around them.
Veronica lets out a whistle and speaks. “Damn.”
“Totally.” MJ mumbled as she stared at a scientists followed by a highly-sophisticated android helper which carried his materials and documents. “I wonder what kind of crazy experiments they do here.”
Nina chuckles and throws a grin over her shoulder. “That’s classif
As Target’s squad continue to stare at Levi’s unconscious body, Rubik eyes stops at the blue light on his chest pulsing with each of his breaths. “Is that-” “The Cyber-Frame.” Target said as she appears beside him, arms folded and her eye narrowed on Levi’s unconscious face, his white hair waving slowly and smoothly in the container. “Our biggest chance to finally crush the Web.” Brute moves her hand on the glass, a sympathetic stare fixed at Levi as she speaks. “How long before he wakes up?” Target’s arms tensed as she answered. “I wish I knew, kid.” They all turned back to Levi who breathes in and out at a very slow rate. “Despite using dozens of decoys, the enemy still found this place which means Levi’s health is compromised” Another rumble shakes the room and Target turns back to the guard, giving him a serious look. “We have to move.” “Roger.” The guards said as they moved Levi’s body with haste towards the van. Target turn
“What is this? Let me out!” The banging sounds continue and Rubik walks forward and stops in front of the dark cube, his face completely calm. “I can sense you, human. What is this?!”Rubik sighs and rubs his neck as he responds. “A capture gear I created. I call it the Rubik’s cube and it will be the last thing you’ll ever see.” There was a brief silence, followed by the hysterical laughter of the figure inside.“You’ve really impressed me. To come up with such a trap while simultaneously fending off my attacks. You must be some kind of genius.”Rubik stares at the cube in doubt just as sudden louder ‘bang’ sound was heard as the holon punches the cube. “You fool! Do you really think ‘this’ would stop me?! I can blow this flimsy thing apart in one swift shot.”Rubik turns around with arms folded and he shrugs as he speaks. “Go ahead.”
In a limitless space filled with the only the colour white, two figures were seen staring at each other.Levi breathes heavily, his clothes a little ripped as he stared at B who remains standing, hands behind her back… and 3 pairs of metallic spider-looking arms extending from her back.As Levi wipes his mouth, B speaks. “Come on, Master. You can do better than that.” Levi grits his teeth and charges forward as B’s spider arms readied for battle, their sharp ends reflecting some light…Levi lets out a shout as he leaps into the air, performing a high-speed front flip that sends his heel down on B who doesn’t move a muscle as one of her arms blocked his attack effortlessly.Levi flips back to the ground and charged at her again, throwing different skilled attacks but B’s arms are too fast as they block every single attack with B glaring at him. “Come on, Master.”Levi plants a foot
“You’re full of interesting surprises, Levi.” B said with a cheeky smile that makes Levi step back.Before he could speak again, his senses spike as he notices a large number of trons fade away instantly.He clenches his fists and B narrows her eyes when she read his mind. “I know what you’re thinking and I completely disagree with it.”Levi glares at her as he responded. “There are people dying out there. Because of me. I can’t sit here and do nothing.”“You’re not doing nothing. You’re still in training until you’re ready to finalize the contract.”Levi steps toward her, a more intense glare in his eyes as he points in a random direction. “Lives are being lost as we speak and you want to continue training. Don’t you care about them at all?”“No, I don’t.” She answered abruptly and Levi steps back a little shocked mostly b
Levi’s eyes glance at his environment, a once grassy plain now an almost decimated wasteland as a result of the battle.Large boulders, strange structures as a result of photron energy and of course, the sprawled out bodies of soldiers who lost their lives in this battle.“So all this…is his fault?” Levi asked as he turns back to Gideon with a glare and clenching of his fists. “Who is he?”Nina’s grip tightens on her gun still pointed at the culprit as she responds. “Sir Gideon of the Index Board. He’s also a rat for the Web, leaking information about the Index…” Nina glances at Levi as she finishes. “And… you.”Levi’s fist tightens more as he commented. “I see.” He turns back to the man and after a quick second of thought, he immediately recalls meeting a certain Mr Gideon the first day Peter brought him to get his Index band. “I remember
“Huh?” Levi mumbled as his energy suddenly disappear mid-flight, causing his body to fall and hit the ground like a skipping stone. His body skids to a halt and he grunts as he tries to move. “What the hell?”<Damn it.> B grumbled in annoyance and Levi looks at his chest.<What’s happening?> He asked with a grunt.<Our gears accelerated energy usage far beyond my calculations.>“Ugh… meaning?”“He can’t move?” Levi looks up and notices Gideon stepping towards him with a grin on his face.Titus speaks out his chest, his annoyingly calm voice irritating B the more. “It seems my sister performed an incomplete link. It overwhelmed the human’s body and affected his matrix.”“Thus, his immobility?” Gideon asked.“Precisely.” Titus answered and Gideon grins at Levi who grunts in pain on the ground, some
Levi glares at Gideon several yards away, raw aggressive energy around his body. <It’s my fault.> He echoed in his mind, as he continues to picture the injured Uncle Mark and the tortured Lucy.But in between those thoughts, an image of a young boy bleeding out on the ground crosses his mind as well.“I won’t let that happen again.” He mumbled as his energy rises even more, causing the earth to shake beneath them.The energy was so much that the still evacuating agents turned to see a bright blue light in the middle of the battlefield.Nina steps away from the van, her eye focused on the light as a harsh cold wind blows past her. “Kid…” She mumbled as the source of the energy surge continues to pulse out.Then, Levi steps forward, a foot at a time, the wind howling around him. “Levi. Levi!” Lucy called out, a hand on her dislocated arm but Levi doesn’t even pay attention to her. She
After all the chaos… there was finally silence…… a peaceful wind blows through the completely decimated battlefield where Levi grunts as he forces himself to stand, a wave of relief finally washing over his body as he stares at the now harmless weapon on the ground in front of him.Lucy suddenly groans in pain and Levi turns back to her, worried as she attempted to stand. “You’re hurt, Lucy.”Lucy chuckles as she pushes herself to her feet. “I’ve been worse, lil bro.” She stumbles a little and Levi grabs her, placing an arm over his shoulder. They share a little smile…“Freeze!” They turned to see a group of the special Index security unit agents, pointing their powerful weapons at them.“Nobody moves!” The captain said as he inches closer to them. Levi glances back to see that B had already returned to his body just as the man spoke again. “You three are coming
