The Luminous Shooter
They hurried to Tiny Orbit in Yagami's car, meeting with Kirishima, who briefed them on how it happened. A single Vector managed to get through the entire system, capturing the system's firewalls and nullifying all their countermeasures. It then ghostjacked all of the LBXs within the building and chased many of the staff members out of the building. They then received word that the Vector had infiltrated the Operations Room and is going after the data of every single LBX Tiny Orbit has ever made. Takuya couldn't afford to let that data go into Mizel's hands, and therefore, made the call to shut down the entire building's systems. Rina told him that she would be gathering all of the data from the Control Pad Room. As he had to protect the prototypes, Yuuki sent out Kirishima to evacuate with the rest of the staff.
"We can't get into contact with President Uzaki or the others now. Vector most likely shut down all communications from within the building." He finished.
"That damn Mizel, aiming for Tiny Orbit..." Kazu muttered.
"In the control pod room is Ishimori-san, in the level 4 laboratory is Chief Yuuki, and in the president's office are President Uzaki and Kirino-san. There are important prototypes and data files in those three rooms that cannot be taken!"
"And Takuya-san did this to protect them..." Ban added.
"If you cut the power, you can stop the hacking." Yagami stated. "But if they stay confined in there, they'll be in danger..."
Ami stepped forward. "We have to save them now!"
"Alright!" Just a Ban nodded, his CCM rung. "Dad!"
"We heard the situation. The building is probably full of LBXs ghostjacked by Vector. Ban, Ikaros Zero's repairs are far from perfect. Be very careful during battle."
"Alright."
"The four of them are in separate places." Yagami stated. "We'll break into groups and rescue them all."
"Ban, I'll take care of the level 4 laboratory and president's office." Jin volunteered.
"I'm going with you." Kazu interjected.
Ami gave a nod. "We'll go save Rina-san then!"
"Right."
"I'll take you to the emergency exit! This way!" Kirishima led them through the side of the building, and they parted ways.
~~~~~
It didn't take them long to find Yuuki. He was right outside the lab, facing an entire army of ghostjacked LBXs.
Kazu sent down a rain of bullets on them before calling out to him. "Over here, Yuuki-san!"
"Kazu and Jin!"
Achilles Deed continued to fire at them from above, while Triton smashed them on sight. Still, they weren't getting far.
"There's too many on their side." Jin stated. "Let's retreat."
"Alright."
They backed away further and further before finally breaking out to full sprint as soon as they were at a safe distance from the enemy. They ran past several corridors until they couldn't hear the tiny clinks of the LBXs steps.
The man let out a sigh in relief. "Thanks, you really saved me there!"
"Thank god we made it in time." Kazu stated.
"It would be bad if this got into their hands."
Jin eyed the briefcase he was holding. "What is it?"
He opened it to show them. "The Luminous Shooter. It's the newest sniper rifle model, designed for Anti-Vector use. It uses shock-absorbent technology from the reinforced cardboard in its basic frame, and is equipped with a high-energy, ultra-small particle accelerator." He explained. "It's an OHKO weapon that can fire a specialized piercing beam."
The brunette's eyes were sparkling. "I don't really get it, but it sounds amazing!"
"Jin! Kazu!" They looked up and found Ban, Ami and Rina heading for them.
"Thank god you're safe, Yuuki." Rina gave the man a smile.
"You too, Rina!"
"All that's left is Takuya-san and Sae-san in the president's office!" Kazu stated.
Ban nodded. "Alright, let's hurry!"
They ran ahead, defeating any and all enemy LBXs they came across. They were also being cautious as to make sure neither Yuuki or Rina were in danger. Right by the door of the office, they were intercepted by a tiny jet. It transformed in midair and took out its weapons.
Ban's eyes widened. "Odin! Why is it here...?"
"It's Vector." All eyes turned to Yuuki at his statement. "Vector ghostjacked Odin while it was in maintenance!"
"No way... Odin..."
Jin's eyes narrowed. "Ban. Odin is our enemy right now. If we don't defeat it, we can't take Tiny Orbit back!"
"... There's no choice."
All four of them took out their CCMs and Ami threw a D-egg, trapping the Odin with them, as well as protecting Rina and Yuuki from those who might interrupt their battle. They called their LBXs to the field, and immediately went for the attack.
One by one they attacked, and one by one they were swatted away. Ban lunged forward for another attack, but it was easily dodged, and Odin sent a barrage its way. The damaged piled on his LBX, and Odin made the final blow, breaking it over.
"Ikaros Zero..."
Jin's eyes narrowed. "The three of us will take it down!"
"Let's do this!"
"Right!" Pandora charged in, but all of its attacks were dodged.
Achilles Deed flew above them and rain its bullets down on it, but they were blocked and absorbed by Odin's Beam Garter. Odin made a jump and sent Achilles Deed crashing down. As soon as it landed, Triton was already swinging its hammer, but it managed to block it with its lance. Pandora came and did a double attack with Triton, and yet it was still not enough. Achilles Deed started shooting at it again, but was easily blocked and sent flying by one hit from Odin.
"Kazu, use this!" Yuuki threw the Luminous Shooter into the field. The grey LBX caught it and positioned itself with it. "You're the most skilled with long-range shooting! Use the Luminous Shooter!"
"Got it!"
"We'll back you up!" Ami called.
"Thanks a lot!"
Pandora and Triton jumped in between Odin and Achilles Deed, taking a defensive stance. Odin charged at them, attacking Triton and Pandora in turn. Achilles Deed jumped, aiming the Luminous Shooter, only for the laser to miss by a tiny bit. The blast decimated the mountain behind their enemy, the recoil sending Achilles Deed flying.
Pandora and Triton both started attacking again, making sure Odin stays put. Kazu tried to fire again, but nothing came out. Yuuki only then adds in that he needed to wait another 30 seconds for the rifle to recharge, and Jin and Ami went straight back to keep Odin at bay.
Odin spotted Achilles Deed on the side of a hill and charged at it, but was intercepted by Triton. They clashed once before Pandora jumped at it, and it became a two-on-one battle. Odin jumped to avoid Pandora's blade, but Triton threw it's hammer square at its face, throwing it off balance. And right at that moment, Achilles Deed fired.
Even after the field disappeared, Kazu's eyes remained on where the explosion took place. "What crazy power..."
Ban stared at the remains of his former LBX. "Odin..."
Yuuki headed straight for the office's door, grinning at the sight of the company president. They both pushed the doors opened, and after making sure the Vector was gone and the ghostjacked LBXs were inactive, they reactivated the systems.
~~~~~
"Tiny Orbit was saved thanks to you all." Takuya stated. "I'd like to thank you again."
"But the enemy is truly one to fear." Yagami muttered. "To think that they could nullify the security..."
Yuuki turned to the blue haired woman beside him. "If something like this happens again..."
"We'll have to create new countermeasures as soon as we can." Rina nodded.
"Exactly." The blonde man's eyes held a new determination in them. "We'll bring the Seeker Base here."
"Eh?!"
