Hacking

Evangeline Mech:

We met up outside once Ban, Hiro and Ran took care of the enemy LBXs.

"Otacross, forward the info to us." Takuya ordered.

"Got it." He sent it to Ban, Jin and Jessica's CCMs and my tablet. On the map, appeared three of the fastest routes that led to the NDHQ.

"There it is." Hiro stated.

"These routes lead to the Defense HQs main duct, where we'll be entering the building." Takuya stated. "While we make our way to the main duct, Otacross will figure out the routes from there to the satelite management center."

"Leave it to me." Otacross said.

"This is enemy territory guys." Takuya reminded us. "Watch out for any LBXs on guard."

"Right!" We said.

"So then," I started. "Ban, Hiro and Ran are with Professor Yamano. Jessica, Yuuya and Asuke are with Takuya-san. And Jin, Kazu and Ami are with Cobra... Right?" The nodded. "So who am I going with?" I asked, pointing at myself.

"You're not coming." Jin said simply.

"Eh?! Why not?" I wailed.

"You have to stay here and help Otacross and Professor Oozora to look for the route on the inside." He replied.

"But... But... I wanna come to..." I pouted, slightly annoyed.

Jin step forward and whispered to my ear. I widen my eyes for a second then sighed.

"Well... When you put it that way." I muttered. "Good luck then... I guess."

I went in without another word.

~~~~~

"What's this?" Professor Oozora asked.

"A simulation program, created using the data I hacked from the survailance cameras." Otacross replied. "It carefully monitors the security too. So with this, we can find the shortest route to the satelite management center."

"Say what now?" I watched as Otacross turned on the game he used to find the route. A small Otacross-figure appeared on the screen nearby a virtual version of the duct.

"So I see..." Professor Oozora said. "In other words, it's a game."

"Start." He pushed the start button and a women in a bunny suit appeared on the screen.

"I'll be waiting for you in the satelite management center..." She said with a wink. Then she disappeared.

"I'm coming now!" Otacross said gleefully.

I shivered at his glee. He can be such a pervert sometimes. Which is one thing I don't like about him.

In the meanwhile, Professor Oozora payed half attention to the screen, and faced me. "I don't think I've caught your full name."

I gave her a small smile. "It's Evangeline. Evangeline Mech."

"Mech?" She asked. "Are you by any chance related to Hugo Mech?"

I winced at the mention of my brother and stiffly nodded. "My brother... Yeah..."

She adjusted her glasses. "I see. I'm sorry for your loss."

I shook my head lightly. "It's nothing to worry about. I'm already over it... I think."

"I knew your brother quite well." She stated.

"You do?" I asked, surprised.

"He helped out in the study of AIs and was actually one of my smartest students." She stated.

"You're a teacher?" I asked.

"In specific times, yes." She said smiling. "He studied with me for about a year and then he won a theory contest in his school."

"Tokio High. Yeah, I know. I saw how many awards he won when he was younger." I said, looking down slightly.

"And he told me about a few weeks after, that Professor Yamano offered him to be his assistent in developing the Little Battlers eXperience, or as we know it, the LBX."

I nodded. "Yeah. It's all he ever talks about... As far as I remmember."

"How old were you when he died?" She asked.

"Well, considering the fact that it was 10 years ago, it was when I was 3." I shook my head. "I still remember where our old house was, but I barely go there anymore."

"Where did you live after the incident?" Ok, was she interrogating me or trying TOO HARD to get to know me?

"At the Kaidou Fortress." I replied.

"Kaidou?" She asked. "As in, Kaidou Yoshimitsu?"

"Yeah. He... They took me in." I replied. "Jin's been my best friend ever since."

"Jin was Kaidou's grandson, isn't that right?" She asked.

"Adopted." I replied. "Same reason as me."

She adjusted her glasses again. "I see. I apologize if my questions were too personal."

"No, it's alright. You were probably just trying to get to know us better." I replied with a smile.

"Whoops!" Otacross cut in. In the game, he nearly got caught by the security. Then he hid behind a wall. Once the security passed by, he started again. "Time to get going."

"Don't! That's dangerous." Professor Oozora exclaimed. "Go right!... Left this time!"

"Here we are!" Otacross stated happily. When he got to the hall, he was captured by security. "What?!"

The girl with bunny ears appeared again with a 'GAME OVER' sign. "Geez, you suck." She said.

I can't help but laugh at the girk's comment. I laughed so hard that I toppled over. "She just... Said that... You sucked..." I said between laughs. Once I caught my breath, I got up again. "Oh geez, that was killing me."

"E-Eva-tan! Please don't say things like that." Otacross said, sighing in defeat. "This can't be right! One more time!"

"Let me do it!" Professor Oozora said, pushing him out of the way. She took off the glasses and replaced the avatar from Otacross to Oozora Haruka. Then she cracked her knuckles. "All I nees to do is avoid those guards, right?"

"Don't forget 'getting to the satelite management center'." I added.

"Start!" She pushed the start button. "Right... Left! Right!"

"Whoa, awesome." I commented. "It's like you're a ninja or something."

A while later...

"Alright! Let's go!" She climbed up some steps and entered the satelite management center. "I made it!"

When she entered, 6 girls in pink maid outfits welcomed her in. "Welcome back, master." They said simultaneously and hearts appeared.

"You broke through!" Otacross cheered.

"Awesome Professor!" I congratulated her.

"Well it wasn't that hard." She replied.

"Haruka-tan!" Otacross was about to hug her, but she got up before he could do so.

"Send a call to everyone." She ordered.

"R-right." Otacross said.

"I'll do it." I volunteered. I plugged my tablet to the computer and sent a call to everyone.

"Hey guys!" I greeted. "We've got it!"

"We've calculated the fastest route from the main duct to the satelite management center." Otacross stated. "I'm sending it through your CCMs now."

Then, images appeard on the screen. One part of it was blinking red. "This is the main duct. Go throught here and you'll find yourselves at the heliport. You should see and exhaust duct after making your way through there. If you pass through it, you'll arrive at the hangar. From the hangar, catch a ride on a platform with one of the airplanes waiting for inspections. With that, you should automaticly be bought to the center of the HQ. After that, climb the set of emergency steps on the wall and you should get to the satelite management center."

"That's our Otacross." Ran commented.

"It was easy." Otacross replied.

"Though I was the one who did it." Professor Oozora stated.

"You barely did anything, oh great and glorious master hacker Otacross." I teased.

He tensed up and changed the topic. "Also, there's a lot of security so you take lots of care!" And he turned off the call.

I shook my head and sat down by a nearby desk. I throught about what Jin had told me earlier. "You have your own way of helping. Breaking into places like this isn't your style. I don't want to see you getting hurt either." The hell does that supposed to mean? I took my tablet back and watched them from the hacked security cameras.

~~~~~

Who knew, one little mistake will change the fate of the whole mission. With Ban's group, Hiro tripped on a cable and fell, alerting security while at it. Luckily, they were saved my Jin and everyone else. While they took care of security, Ban, Hiro, Ran and Professor Yamano went to the satelite management center. When they reached the SMC, they were stopped by a man named Jack Gelato, the leader of an experimental force called Fire Sweets. It took a while, but they defeated his LBX, Proto I with Sigma Orbis.

The SMC was about to explode and Sigma Orbis unlocked the door by slicing the lock in half. Jack Gelato opened it by pushing it open and they all had barely escaped the explosion.

Jin and the others caught up to them but then they found out that Gardyne was heading straight for Paradise to activate it directly from up there. Then, an army of LBXs appeared. Ran, Ami and Kazu fought the enemy LBXs, Ban, Hiro and Jin tried going straight for the launchpad while the rest tried hacking into the autopilot system.

But both ways were intercepted. When Professor Yamano hhacked in, he set off a lock down sequence.

The rocket launched into the air and everyone went back to the Duck Shuttle to duscuss our new plan. One that involves going to the spatial military base, Paradise itself.

Niara Levanov:

I followed Kirito as he hitched a ride on a helicopter. Well, not really hitched. I probably haven't mention that I've got relatives. Like my cousin's parents who worked for Russia's military once. They were more than happy to lend us a helicopter ride to the National Defense HQ, even if they were curious.

Oh yeah, you're probably wondering why I stayed with Omega Dain instead of them? It's mainly because they live in the far end of Russia while we lived in the snowy plains of Country A.

Anyway, after saying goodbye to my cousin and my aunt and uncle, we walked over to the edge of the cliff. We climbed down, or in my case, parkoured down.

~~~~~

Kazama Kirito:

"Try to catch up!" She called.

"This isn't a race!" I called back, annoyed.

We stopped infront of the HQ and snuck in, all the way to the rocket that was about to launch. Gardyne, Bishop and Lex were in the passanger seats which was the room before the cockpit. We snuck in the cockpit through the duct and sat on the pilot seats and buckled up.

I heard Niara growled under her breath. "Screw you, Bishop."

"I won't let you get away, Gardyne." I muttered. "Amy..." I'll bring you back. I promise.
