Excel's POV

"So this is the place." I said looking around at the factory "The so called bastion of ASIC"

"All the chips are coming from here." Nepgear said "If we can shut this factory down we can make real tangible progress."

"What are we supposed to do just go in there and smash stuff?" Ram asked.

"Sounds good to me." Uni nodded.

"Let's just go in and get started." I said.

"Wait we can't smash this stuff look at how sophisticated it is." Nepgear pouted "I've never seen some of this stuff before, it's like a tech junkie's wonderland."

"Don't admire the enemies base." I said walking passed.

I pulled the big shutter and we headed in. As soon as I opened the door a cat jumped out and tried to attack me but Uni blasted it away and Nepgear stabbed it.

"I guess we need to keep our eyes open." I said.

The factory was crawling with monsters of different shapes and sizes, the things were a pain in the ass and were slowing us down more than I would have liked. They weren't tough to deal with they were just hard to manage.

"This is it Linda, you big chance, you can't mess this up." A voice said.

"Hmm?"

We all peaked into a back room and saw Underling pacing back and forth.

"They gave you this job this is your last chance you can't screw it up."

"Oh hey you're here."

"We have to stop meeting like this."

"AH!" Underling screamed "Not again….Fate why do you hate me so?!"

"Do you want us to beat you up or do you just wanna give up now?" I asked.

"RAHHH!" Underling pulled out her club and charged at us "HA HA HA…Huh?"

I just grabbed it and held it.

"WAHHH NO FAIR!"

"Just stop fighting us." I sighed "You're only embarrassing yourself."

"If you guys destroy this factory I'm gonna get in a tone of trouble." Underling groaned.

"What all this?"

I looked up and saw a huge Mech warrior.

"CFW Brave sir!"

"Ahh it's you lot again." The knight glared "Come to disrupt our activities yet again."

Another CFW…

"We came to stop the illegal production of these chips." Uni said "You're breaking the law. I don't understand it, you seem like a nice guy but you're doing the wrong thing. What you do gives kids the wrong idea."

"I am doing the wrong thing, how ridiculous, it is your policies that are wrong, and I only provide a venue for the less fortunate to enjoy gaming just like any other."

"Oh wow he's a regular old Robin Hood." I mumbled.

Uni and Brave got into an argument over the morality of each side of their argument.

Incredible, she's debating with such fervor she's not holding back at all.

"Let's prove whose convictions are stronger in battle!" Brave said drawing his sword.

"If that's what it takes!" Uni said transforming.

Uni's HDD outfit had changed, it was less of a single black out fir and more of a bikini now, it didn't cover much only her breasts and butt…and even that was barely covered.

"Her boobs are still tiny."

"We can be flat friends!" Rom smiled.

"SHUT UP!" Uni yelled "Just help me fight this guy and keep your comments about my body to yourselves!"

"You got it flatty." We all said transforming.

"Some friends you guys are." I heard her mumbled.

"I think your Goddess form is extremely attractive." I told Uni.

"You think every girl is attractive." She sighed.

"HRAAA!"

We all jumped back to avoid a powerful slash from Brave. The wind rippled and blasted us all back the wave of wind was so strong it blasted us with dust.

"That wasn't very nice." I said as the dust settled "You nearly took out your own party member.

"Ehh?! Put me down!" Underling cried.

"I never realized you were so cute Miss Underling." I smiled "Maybe you should change sides and cling to me instead of evil…"

"Grrrr….!"

"Excel!"

Underling was yanked from my arms and throw out the window by Nepgear and Uni.

"Get lost!" they both yelled.

"Now then back to the main plot." Uni said turning to look at Brave.

"You don't have much…plot to speak of." I commented.

Uni kicked me in the crotch.

"Oh…right in the spreadsheets…" I groaned falling over.

"Just shut up and help me fight!"

"Fine." I groaned standing up.

"Here we go!" I flew over and jammed my trident into his chest.

Brave stumbled back and I swung my trident and blasted him with a wave of wind. Rom and Ram flew by, spinning in a circle while letting off blasts of ice and wind to further disorient Brave.

"Slash Wave!"

Nepgear shot her Gunblade off and drilled Brave in the chest, Uni quickly let off a three shot burst to blow back Brave and I slid passed before striking at his ankle and shanking it with the spikes of my trident.

"HAAA"

Brave did a strong horizontal slash but I braced myself and with Nepgear's help we slowed the strike and blocked the attack.

"Such strength." Brave commented trying to pull back his sword "Huh?"

I stabbed the blade and held it between my prongs while Roma and Ram froze his elbows and stunted his strength.

"Uni now!"

"Right!"

The white haired girl flew passed and charged up her rifle.

"NGP!"

A sharp laser shot out and pierced straight threw Brave's chest.

"BLEH!" He groaned and dropped his sword "This…can't be…I…lost…"

Brave fell back with a thud.

"It appears my conviction…was too weak."

"What an incredible warrior."

"I accept…my defeat." Brave said "It appears you were the stronger one…what is your name."

"Uni."

"Very well Uni…congratulations…"

*BOOM!*

Brave self-destructed and disappeared.

"Why…" I mumbled.

Why did he blow himself up…just like Judge, we beat them but it wasn't that bad of a beating was it?

"Come on let's just…go home." Uni mumbled walking off.

"You alright?"

"I don't really feel like talking." She said looking depressed.

We finished dismantling the factory and headed off.

*Bzzt Bzzt!*

"Oh hey that's me." I said pulling out my phone "Ello?"

"AHHH! It's awful!"

"Chika?"

"Get your sister and get back here now!" she screamed "I need help!"

"This better not be a scam to see Vert." I mumbled.

"Just get here soon please!" she yelled.

She does sound scared.

"Change of plans we're going to Leanbox."
