Prologue:
Fate is the loot basked in glowing light on the top of Babel Tower.
Night time. With many people, it was the time to rest after a long day working and dealing with numerous problems. But for a few, it was not.
"VEGA, what is everything's status?" sitting in front of 6 different computer screens, a young man was typing in fast speed as lines of codes appeared continuously on the screens.
"The server is stable and IP is secured with zero posibility to be traced back and attacked throught whatever means, sir." From a speaker next to him, a mechanical polite male voice echoed to his ears "The ARS system for you and 2B system for Yorha-san are all successfully implanted and secured. The 'Log Out' route is already secured. All potential 'Kill Switch' and tracking have been terminated. The Foundation Progress is ready to be put in motion. The implantation of the safehouse is 67% complete, estimate 3 more days to complete. Overall, everything is safe and good to go, sir."
"Very good, VEGA. Now go and double-check everything, making sure that even a worldwide blackout can not stop me."
"Affirmative, sir."
Letting out a tired yawn, the young man moved his shoulders a little bit to release tension in it as he could hear his stomach rumbled. Working continuosly in six hours straight tended to cause that after all.
"I hope you prepare everything carefully, Akihiko Kayaba..." A sardonic chuckle escaped his lips as his eyes turned toward the two NerveGears he had successfully modified "... For it will be my utmost pleasure to break your world and take away your fucked up dream in front of your eyes."
Payback time was near.
"I hope you know what you're doing." His short white hair female friend said as he picked up the NerveGear
"Then you stay here and watch over everything with VEGA." The young man grumbled "I can do this alone and don't make me remind you that you're the one who insist..."
"And let you do whatever you like without caring anything else just for the sake of your revenge?" His friend shot him a deadpanned look but he just simply ignored it "Thanks, but no thanks."
"Whatever you say, Yorha-chan. As long as you take the spotlight, you can do whatever you want."
"I doubt it will success but I will keep you to that nonetheless, Ei-kun."
"Up link complete, sir. All system is a go."
"Stop calling me that name, Enpitsu-chan!"
"Sir?"
"Then stop using that name, Ei-kun!"
"SIR! MA'AM!"
"Yes! What is is VEGA?!" 2 voice said almost simultaneously toward the speaker. He could swear that he was ready to explode right now
"Would you two kindly stop arguing like an old married couple and listen to me?"
"... N-NO! WE'RE NOT A COUPLE!" again, the two voice mixed with each other at the same time
"... I detect denial. That aside, up link complete, sir. All system is a go."
"Good. It's payback time."
