It was right after school as Tora was slowly making his way to the meeting place the Vigilant used as their secret base, but while the young hero was worried about what their fight against KnightCorps would entail tonight, his thought were more focused on Eri, and wanting to find a way to let the beautiful cheerleader know how he felt about her, even if she didn't return such feelings.
'Maybe I should leave her a gift, like...' Tora started to think, before his eyes turned to see that he was walking by a flower shop he saw each time he took this route, and for once, he decided he had nothing to lose, walking into the shop, where he was greeted by the attendant at the cash register.
"Welcome to Odaiba Flowers." An older, and rather attractive woman with pink hair, brown eyes, and a big smile on her face said as she then added. "My name is Mimi, how might I help you today?"
Shyly, Tora approached the counter, before continuing to express his shy side as he approached the counter and said. "I was hoping to get a nice bouquet of flowers, maybe something with a lot of pink if you have it."
"Oh? For someone special? That's so sweet, I hope the lucky girl appreciates it." Mimi then said in a teasing voice.
Blushing at Mimi's words at first, Tora's mood turned a little downcast as he looked down, feeling a continued gloom filling him as he told Mimi. "Actually... I was hoping to give them to this girl I really like, but because she's a cheerleader, it's hard for me to talk to her without anybody telling me to leave her alone."
Tora then looked back at the woman behind the counter, before fear instantly took him as he saw a fire in her eyes as she let out a growl.
Backing up at seeing the girl in a frenzy, Mimi then yelled, thinking about how many thought of her relationship with Izzy. "I hate that so much! Love should never be restrained by social status!"
'Ok... she's scary...' Tora thought with a nervous laugh, before he saw the older woman leave the counter and head to the backroom, returning a few moments later with his order, where her friendly smile returned like nothing had happened.
"Here you go. That will be 15 ryos." Mimi said with her eyes closed and the smile still on her face, causing Tora's eyes to widen a bit at the price, but not wanting to get on this girl's bad side, he quickly paid and took the flowers in his hands.
"Good luck, and don't let what others say or thing stand in the way of true love!" Mimi called happily as Tora left, leaving the blond gulping a little, mentally reminding himself to avoid seeing this woman again in the future, before he headed towards his destination, knowing that, most often enough, he could catch Eri on the way there.
-Moments later-
Eventually, Tora entered a familiar place, the Kasinoki bookshop, which, apparently unknowing to even the owners, had a secret room hidden beneath the shop, a place the members of the Vigilant used as their meeting point.
But before heading down and returning to his persona as Frequency, Tora had one thing he needed to take care of.
Walking in and looked around the bookshop, a small smile appeared on Tora's face when he saw Eri, sitting at a table in the back as she read a book she seemed invested in, noticing the glasses she was wearing as she read, knowing that while her eyesight was good, she needed a little help when it came to literature.
But as the blond worked up the courage to go see her, another familiar blonde appeared behind him, startling him as she asked. "Good afternoon, Tora. Is there anything we can do for you today?"
Turning around, Tora saw the familiar face of Ai smiling at him, where she was expressing a friendly and curiousness she showed towards everyone, a quality in the girl that many respected.
But with Ai's appearance in the scene, Tora felt that he had lost his nerve, that he couldn't move one step closer to Eri and offer her his gift.
Holding out the flowers to Ai as he bowed his head, Tora asked. "Ai, do you see that girl over there? Can you please give her these?"
"Eri? Sure." Ai replied happily as she took the flowers from Tora, who then said. "And if she asks, just tell her they're from someone who wants her to be happy."
Smiling at the shy blond boy, Ai nodded, before watching Tora walk off to another part of the store, hiding behind one of the shelves, while the blonde girl then looked toward Eri, only to gain a confused expression when she saw the pink haired girl nowhere in sight, causing her to start looking all over for the cheerleader.
-Meanwhile-
Now in his persona and outfit as Frequency, Tora smiled as he got off the hidden elevator to the secret room beneath the bookshop, looking to see that Cosmic Knockout had apparently arrived right before he did, only a few feet from him as he got out, where the pink haired heroine smiled at her teammate as they walked towards a lounge area, seeing Responder and Razor Wolf waiting for them, as well as a blank monitor screen, a sign for the pair that Infiltrator was attending this meeting in his own capacity.
Giving a grin, Frequency asked their leader with a grin. "So what's the situation that needs our attention?"
Speaking from his end Infiltrator then informed. "Whatever KnightCorps is up to, they're accelerating their efforts, and I believe there's a link between what we caught them doing with their captives and those towers Knight is building all over the city."
The four heroes nodded at hearing this, remembering that KnightCorps announced the construction of sixteen so-called 'Communication' towers to help the city, and for some reason, the security at these sights were nearly double what the Vigilant would run into in their raids, which helped validate Infiltrator's theory.
"We need more information if we're to move on. I managed to find the location of an off site link to KnightCorps' mainframe, in a small compound just outside of Odaiba. The location isn't public, so their security might be at a minimum, but be sure to keep your guard up. Once you guys are close to the main computer, Responder can patch me in and I'll see what I can find." The mysterious vigilante informed, where Responder turned and looked at his team.
"This could be our chance to expose Knight and stop him before whatever plans he has can take place. We've seen what they're capable of, what they're willing to do to get their way, and the lives that have to suffer because of it. We can't let them down." Responder said, looking at Razor Wolf, who growled as he remembered what their scientists did to him, while the others also remembered the poor victims they saved from several of KnightCorps' test sites.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and beat the snot out of those slimeballs!" Cosmic Knockout let out, slamming her fist against her palm, wanting to bring about her form of justice for those who had suffered at the hands of KnightCorps.
The heroes all nodded and prepared to head out, not knowing the troubles that would await them that evening.
-Meanwhile-
Within the Dark Fortress, Ken knelt on one knee before the throne the Night Queen used for audiences with her followers, where he looked up at the masked sorceress and said. "Based on what you explained to me, the rest of us will need better protection for what's to come. I don't have that exact knowledge, but I know somewhere that might."
"Very well, chose the strike force. I'll be joining you for this." Kari said in a calm reply, before she stood up from her throne, walking past Ken, allowing him to stand himself and follow the Night Queen out towards the outer ring, ready to commence with their plan for the evening.
-Later-
Returning to the Vigilant, thanks to Infiltrator's skill, the group made their way towards the secret KnightCorps' base, with Responder in the air, while the rest of the team moved by foot, jumping from rooftop to rooftop, or leaping, in the case of Razor Wolf.
Frequency, meanwhile, remained close to Cosmic Knockout, where he gave a grin and asked. "So what do ya say after we trash KnightCorps, we hang out?"
With a smile of her own, Cosmic Knockout asked. "And what did you have in mind?"
"Anything you want. I'm always game for anything, just as long as I can let loose." Frequency replied, continuing to make Cosmic Knockout smile at her teammate's attitude and his kindness.
"Such a charmer. You must be popular with the ladies when not in that outfit." The pink haired heroine said with a small giggles, before being confused as Frequency deflated a little.
"Actually..." Frequency started to say, losing his upbeat mood and telling the heroine with a solemn tone. "When it comes to dating, I can't bring myself to do it. It's not because I can't find the right girl, it's more like the right girl is there, but because of differences between us, I can't even speak to her. I really care about her, but from her outstanding position, she deserves better than a guy like me."
"Don't say that, you're an amazing guy, and if this girl has any brains she'd see that." Cosmic Knockout then said, trying to comfort her teammate and her friend, before sighing as she then added. "But when it comes to romance, I am stuck in a similar situation. See, there's this boy I know, he's very sweet and kind, granted he is a little shy, but I still know he exists. The only problem is that even though I want to talk to him, I'm afraid of what my friends will think if they see me with him. I'd give anything just to tell him that I like him, but I keep allowing peer pressure to get in the way."
Sighing, Cosmic Knockout then said. "I really hate myself for continuing to worry about what others think. I just wish I could punch that part out of my brain so I could act on my heart and not my head."
Remaining in her solemn mood, the pink haired heroine felt Frequency set his hand on her shoulder, where she turned to look at him, seeing him smiling at her, only it was a small, caring and sincere expression.
"It'll be alright, Cosmic. I know that it's hard to express your feelings at times, but sometimes you just have to let go and stop thinking. If you care about this boy as much as I care about my girl, you'll give him some note that you like him." Frequency said, before his smile grew as he added. "I bet wishing him a good day via his smartphone will make him smile."
Smiling back, Cosmic Knockout replied happily. "That's a great idea. Thanks Frequency."
She then gained a frown as she then added. "But... I don't know his number..."
"Perhaps I can ask Infiltrator for a favour?" Frequency offered in reply, remaining by the pink haired heroine's side, wanting to show he supported her love as he said. "He could hack the smartphone listings and find the guy you like. And if that fails, I'll still be here. I mightn't have the tech skills, but I'm confident I can help you find your love."
Smiling back, Cosmic Knockout said in reply. "Thank you. You know, you can be quite the sensitive type when you want to be. I really hope you do find a way to be with this girl you like so much."
As the pair continued their conversation, flying above and listening in, behind his Responder mask, Haru's eye twitched as he heard the pair talk, telling their problems with each other to each other, still unaware of who one another was, causing the green haired hero to use all his willpower not to facepalm.
'When this is all over I need to find a way to get them alone so they can figure this all out.' Responder thought, before focusing as the facility came into view.
Using Infiltrator's information, the Vigilant easily snuck into the facility, before reaching a large room, with a nearly as big computer on one side of the room.
However, something was immediately off for Responder as he looked around, for there was no one really in the facility, and the lights were all off.
However, that quickly changed as the lights suddenly turned on, blinding the young heroes for a moment, before they saw dozens of security guards pointing guns at the from above, while Knight's personal guard and Black Wyvern were standing before them with smirks on their faces.
"It would seem Master Knight was right that you would come here. Now we have you cornered like rats in a cage." Helix said with a dark laugh, causing Razor Wolf to growl in response, wanting another chance to rip the insane doctor to pieces.
"Less talking, more fighting here! I'm not being paid to just stand around and talk!" Black Wyvern then said as he got into action, where the shoulder mounted rockets shot out and opened fire, causing the young heroes to quickly dodge, with Responder rushing at the mercenary, while the rest of the team rushed at their usual 'dance partners', staying in close combat so that the guards above wouldn't open fire.
"Responder, if you can get close enough I can remotely hack the terminal by the link from your helmet." Infiltrator said through the comms in Responder's helmet, causing the hero to nod as he continued to fight Black Wyvern.
Remaining in his vengeful rage, Razor Wolf meanwhile had set his sights on Helix, swinging his metallic claws at the mad doctor, but found Helix avoiding his attacks, bending and swaying around as if he had no spine, while finding that the few slashes he landed on his enemy didn't seem to faze him, guessing Helix would continue to repair himself in his demented way should their fight conclude with his escape.
And returning the attacks, Helix swung his needle like blades back at his former experiment, causing Razor Wolf to dodge and parry his attacks.
Nearby, Frequency was using his sound based abilities to try and hit Jester, casting out a line of thin discs from his gauntlets, leaving Jester laughing as he leaped about, avoiding the attacks, though he was secretly frustrated that he couldn't get any closer to his prey.
"Why do we always have to fight?" Jester then asked as he stopped his avoidance, spread his arms out and asked. "Can't we all just learn to get along?"
However, he then burst into laughter at his words, hunching himself over as he held a hand out, issuing a temporary timeout in their conflict as he told Frequency. "Sorry. Not even I could believe that joke."
Finally, Cosmic Knockout moved in close, trying to hit at Lady Beauty, who dodged her with a laugh, jumping out of the way just as the young heroine's fist slammed into the ground, causing the ground to shatter and created a hole where the villainess was just standing.
"Such a temper on such a beauty." Lady Beauty said with a devious smile, drawing out her weapon and stating. "But there can only be one true beauty, and that's always me!"
Lady Beauty then fired a blast of pink energy at Cosmic Knockout, causing her to jump out of the way, where the other Vigilant moved by her side, the villains standing in front of them, and the guards above seeing an opening as they prepared to open fire.
However, before anyone could deliver another strike, the facility's alarms began to blare, confusing everyone, even the KnightCorps' security as Black Wyvern started to ask. "Wait, why are the alarms going off? If they are right here and...?"
It was then that the wall to the right of the room exploded, causing everyone to react to the flying debris, with Responder moving in front of his team, activating his shield as he blocked a large piece of the wall flew at them, causing it to stop and act as a further shield for the heroes, while the guards were all knocked off the upper railing.
Coughing a bit from the uproar of dust, Knight's guard and Black Wyvern looked at the newly opened gap, while the Vigilant looked around the debris in front of them, before all their eyes widened at the sight, seeing several members of the Dark Legion entering the room, including Ironfist, Stryker, Dark Hawk, Dark Ivy, Charm Mistress and Asta, with most of the villains smirking, some behind their masks, as they looked around, before another figure actually floated in above them, one that caused those watching to look in panic to see none other than the Night Queen herself present.
"Ah, there we go." Stryker said with a smirk as he made his way to the computer terminal, his tech gauntlets activating as he seemed to begin hacking the systems.
"Is this what Knight passes as servants?" The Night Queen then asked meanwhile as she eyed the four members of Knight's main team, with Black Wyvern backing up a little as he thought. 'Crap, I wasn't paid for this!'
While Black Wyvern felt the chill that came with the Night Queen's presence, remaining loyal to his employer, Helix turned to face Stryker, drawing a needle as he threatened. "Remove yourself from that terminal or you will suffer."
But to his annoyance, Stryker paid him no attention and continued to do as he pleased, where the mad doctor was about to strike, only to quickly dodge as Ironfist slammed his cybernetic fist at him, the shockwave enough to send Helix flying back a few feet, where he prepared himself to fight the cyborg villain in hand to hand combat.
Jester was then about to move in and help, only to dodge as Dark Hawk quickly closed the distance, forcing the two assassins to battle one another as they moved about, clashing blades with one another.
"You might have the claws of a hawk, but it looks like you have the brain of a chicken if you want to fight me." Jester said, laughing and mocking Dark Hawk, who swung her blade forth, causing Jester to drop his daggers and back away.
"Just shut up and die, freak!" The Dark Legion villainess yelled as she swung not only her own blades, but her wing blades as well, wanting to cut the clown-like assassin to pieces, growing further in frustration as Jester jumped around, avoiding the attacks in his own comical defensiveness.
While Dark Hawk remained in her fury, finding Jester continuing to treat the fight as more of an event than a life or death situation, Dark Ivy and Charm Mistress took their time before fighting as they stared down Lady Beauty.
"You're Lady Beauty?" Dark Ivy asked, expressing a puzzled look on her face, before stating. "If you're the so-called Lady Beauty, I am highly disappointed."
"Same here. I'm much cuter than you." Charm Mistress added, checking herself out as she said. "Check me out. My outfit is designed for style, cuteness and evil, while you look like a washed up old maid with a silver walking stick."
Lady Beauty started to seethe at these two, before she yelled in anger. "I won't let two hags talk to me that way!"
"Who are you calling a hag?!" Dark Ivy and Charm Mistress then yelled in unison and anger, before Charm Mistress' eyes glowing pink as psionic energy gathered in her hands, while dozens of vines began to grow out of the broken ground around her.
'This might have been interesting to watch under different circumstances.' Black Wyvern then thought as the 'chick fight' began, before he refocused and quickly put up his shield as Asta began firing black energy blasts at him from his guns, seeming to move all over as he attacked the mercenary.
As the battle raged on, the Vigilant remained behind the debris, each and everyone of them shaking, especially Razor Wolf, who was doing all he could to push back another instinct that was overpowering his senses, fear, pure, primal fear, for even being this close to the Night Queen, her presence was causing the young heroes to hallucinate, seeing images of their own demise play out on their minds.
'I can't... I can't move... too scared... so not Groovy...' Frequency thought with fear as the new reports, videos, and other media showing of the Night Queen came to mind, especially images of her taking down some of the best heroes in the city like they were nothing.
'If we stay here, we will die... We... we can't face her, we need to get out of here...' Cosmic Knockout then thought, expressing her own fear as the images of her own demise, and the idea of not seeing Tora again, filled her head.
'Got to run... got to hide...' Razor Wolf thought, his primal fears kicking in, telling him to get out of the vicinity as soon as possible.
'What do we do...? We can't leave, not yet... But if we stay...' Responder thought, trying to think of how the team could get what they needed and leave, but found the thought of his teammates losing their lives at the Night Queen's hands continued to fill him with doubt and fear.
Then, much to the young heroes' horror, the debris behind them dissolved into dust, causing them to turn and look to see the Night Queen now staring at them.
"So, you are the Vigilant I've been hearing so much about. The silent heroes, the champions of those who are lost and forgotten, nothing more than mere children." The arch villainess said, smirking behind her mask as she sensed their fear of her, her eyes glowing red as shadows came out of her back, forming four dark dragon heads, ready to attack and destroy them before they could turn their attention to her and her plans as she then asked. "Are you ready to die like all heroes do?"
"Haru..." Responder then heard Infiltrator speak in his comms, using his real name to get his attention as the hacker then said. "Tilt your head to the right a few inches."
Though he was still afraid, Responder did as Infiltrator's voice said, tilting his head a little, before he saw the HUD in his helmet light up as images appeared around the far off computer screen.
Meanwhile, as he did his own hacking, Stryker noticed that someone else was hacking into the same files he was, but as long as they didn't interfere with him, he'd let them be.
"I'm hacked in. I only need a few minutes." Infiltrator informed the Vigilant, before he added with a concerned but even voice. "I know you are all afraid, but we can't just run, not after coming this close. I will not ask you to try and defeat her, but please, hold her off and survive until I'm done. There is too much at stake for us to fail now!"
It was then that what the Vigilant were fighting for came back to the front of their minds, of those KnightCorps had been experimenting on, only to walk away from their crimes unpunished, of whatever dark plans the corrupt corporation still had planned.
Steeling themselves, the four heroes gained determined looks, with Razor Wolf now growling, while Responder's tech gauntlets glowed bright with energy, ready to fight as Cosmic Knockout and Frequency got into their respective fighting stances, where the sound based hero then said with some seriousness in his voice. "It's time to turn up the frequency!"
Behind her mask, the Night Queen raised her eyebrow as she sensed the changes in the young heroes, finding their fear lessening and their courage rising as she thought. 'At least they'll make things interesting.'
The dark dragon heads then opened fire at the four, where Responder acted, bringing up an energy barrier, groaning at the strength of his opponent's power as it collided with his shield, while the other three jumped from behind, ready to attack the Night Queen.
While the trio went in, planning to combine their hits into one attack, the Night Queen simply avoided the attack, jumping back with a sense of grace, which continued as Cosmic Knockout moved in, throwing punch after punch, some of which struck the floors and the walls around the pair, breaking right through them, though all her attacks missed her intended target.
"Hey!" The Night Queen then heard Frequency call behind her, drawing her attention away from the pink haired heroine and turning around, expecting to see the sound based hero, where a small confusion fell upon her when she saw no sight of him.
"Hey!" She heard him say again, before turning her gaze down, seeing one of Frequncy's speakers lying before her, realizing that it was a trick to get her while her back was turned, before glaring over her shoulder to see Frequency charging up his fist with sonic energy as he prepared to attack.
But even with her back turned, the Night Queen showed her superior power as a dark tendril emerged from a dark void, which then shot at Frequency and slammed into his chest, not only sending him crashing back to the ground, but the force of the attack dealt a great amount of damage to his being.
"Frequency!" Cosmic Knockout yelled in a deep concern as she rushed at him, dodging more tendrils as they shot at her, as well as using her fists to punch a few, causing them to break apart into shadows as she quickly picked her wounded teammate up and moved out of the way of the Night Queen's attacks, just as Responder and Razor Wolf went it and continued fighting.
Drawing out his energy blades, alongside his claws, Responder and Razor Wolf moved in, slashing at the tendrils, before making their way toward the Night Queen, both giving it their all as they tried to take her down or push her back, but found them repelled by her staff, shocking both to her physical strength as she held them back like it was nothing.
Pushing the pair back and continuing to fight, behind her mask, Kari's annoyance turned to interest as she watched the Vigilant try to attack her, seeing the coordination and teamwork they used, as well as their will to go on against an opponent they knew they could not beat.
'I take it back, I won't kill them, I just found four new recruits for my Legion.' The arch villainess thought with a smirk as she imagined using her mark on all of the heroes, using them as weapons against any who stood in her way, before refocusing as she summoned several energy circles above her, which began firing blasts of dark magic at Responder and Razor Wolf, who did their best to dodge the oncoming attack.
Meanwhile, as all the fighting raged around him, Stryker finally found the files he was looking for, having delved into the KnightCorps' Psionic research files, copying what he could, while noticing his fellow hacker doing the same, especially when they both came across what looked like more detailed blueprints for Knight's communication towers.
'This is interesting, I'll have to look into this later.' Stryker thought as he disconnected from the computer, seeing the other hacker doing the same.
"I got the info. Now get out of there!" Infiltrator yelled through the comms, causing the Vigilant to nod as they then tried to make a run for it.
"I have the information, my Lady." Stryker informed the Night Queen, who then slammed her staff into the ground, sending out a shockwave of energy that knocked the Vigilant and KnightCorps' security back, while the rest of the Legion moved back behind their leader.
"Thank you all so kindly but we have to take our leave now. But first..." The Night Queen then said as she then brought her staff back up, where dark energy gathered at the tip, forming a black sphere of energy, which quickly grew and grew, nearly reaching the walls around the Legion, while the sensors in Responder and Black Wyvern's helmets were blaring alarms at the gathered energy.
"Oh, shit... Run!" The merc yelled at his employer's servants, who didn't need to be told twice as they quickly ran for the exit, along with the guards as they cried out in panic.
"We need to run, now!" Responder yelled, taking the injured Frequency from Cosmic Knockout as he put all his energy into his wings and flew out the way they came in, before the heroine let out and 'eep' as Razor Wolf picked her up and began to run after Responder at full speed, the group still hearing not only the crackling energy, but the dark laughter of the Night Queen as they quickly made it out of the building, just as it exploded in a massive burst of dark energy.
Landing on a rooftop nearby, with Razor Wolf joining them as he put Cosmic Knockout down, the Vigilant looked to see the now smoking crater that was once the facility they were just in, letting out a small sigh of relief to see the normal facility workers off to the side and, other than shaken up, all seemed to be alright.
"That was too close." Responder commented, for none of them had expected to run into the Dark Legion that night, and wondered what the villains wanted from KnightCorps in the first place.
"It was an unexpected turn of events, but you all managed to get through it. I got whatever I could, including a piece of information I don't believe Knight intended for anyone to find. It will take me some time to go through it, but I think we have what we are looking for." Infiltrator informed, causing the Vigilant to sigh happily, knowing that their ordeal wasn't for nothing, and hoped that whatever Infiltrator could find in the files could help then stop Knight before it was too late.
-Sometime later, with Frequency-
Having gotten back into his normal outfit, Tora exited the secret passage to the Vigilant base, exhausted and sore from the events, while there was part of him that was hoping that Eri got his gift and that if he could indeed help Cosmic Knockout with her love issues as well.
However, once he turned the corner, Tora quickly blushed and hid back behind a bookshelf as he saw Ai handing the flowers to Eri, where the pink haired girl blushes a little, surprised at the offering.
"I was looking for you for hours, Eri. Someone left these for you, he said he was someone who wanted to make you happy." Ai informed Eri with a smile as she handed the girl the flowers, leaving Eri with a surprised expression, as only one person came to mind, causing her to blush even more, but smile nonetheless.
'Tora...' She thought, resting the flowers close to her chest, not completely sure if they were from him or not, but her heart was telling her that the shy blond was the one, making her think on Frequency's offer of help telling the blond how she felt.
While Eri kept her smile as she looked upon the bouquet, a small smile appeared on Tora's face, finding it always endearing to see Eri smile, before he decided to leave her to her reading and headed out, hoping he could find another way to spend more time with her.
-Meanwhile-
Within Knight's office, the silver haired CEO sat in silence as he watched the television, thankfully allowing the media to portray what happened as an attack by the Dark Legion, allowing him to cover up what the facility was really for, while standing behind him, Helix, Jester, Lady Beauty and Kouki were nervous, knowing the psionic man was not pleased with the most recent of events and the loss of his facility.
"While I am annoyed that we could not remove those pests, it is something that could not be helped, not with that witch and her band of monsters getting in my way." Knight said as he stood up and looked out the window, giving a devious smile as he looked around the area.
To him, the Dark Legion is an example of why he must do what he plans to do, to give the world true order under one guiding will, his will, and bring about an empire that will start with Odaiba, and expand the world, where he will build his new kingdom on the corpses of the Night Queen, her Legion, the Vigilant and any who dared stand in his way.
'Even with the data they stole, none of them can stop me, not in time. Once my project is complete, all will bow to me or fall before me!' Knight thought as his smile grew darker, looking at the spots his towers were being built, knowing that his time was soon approaching, and soon, all of Odaiba would belong to him.
