Having returned to the offices, Radiant Prism wasn't sure if she could get quite used to walking through the corridor the humans walk through, added that there were so many doors along the way that lead to various rooms compared to the short walk from the lift to the office rooms that she and the others would normally go through. Immediately, she took notice that most of the team that were assigned to patrol duties were back as they were talking to one another about all sorts of things, mainly having dealt with petty crime that occurred nearest to them or having witnessed something of interest. Yuuta had already let go of Radiant Prism the moment they entered the offices as he sat down at his desk. Radiant Prism simply followed, needing to ask for something.
"Sir, may I request a simple favour from you?" She asked.
"What is it, Radiant Prism?" Replied Yuuta.
Briefly looking towards the others, whom were still engaged in their chatter or anything that's keeping them occupied. Focusing her attention back to Yuuta, she kept her voice down a bit so only he could hear her. "I wish to ask if I could speak with Deckerd alone please? I need to discuss about my issue with him in private, and I'd rather not speak about it with the rest of the team out of concern that they wouldn't appreciate my presence. Forgive me, but I do need to resolve this issue but only for Deckerd's audios as I do not feel comfortable working with what I've committed."
The young boy frowned as he could see that Radiant Prism wasn't going to let go of this. He could see how responsible she was about something wrong she's done, and he slowly nodded. He turned his attention to Deckerd, whom was reading a book to pass the time. "Deckerd, can you come over here for a moment?"
"Hm? Something the matter, Yuuta?" Replied Deckerd, setting the book down as he approached the balcony.
"No, Radiant Prism wants to speak to you in private."
Radiant Prism approached the edge of the balcony closest to where Deckerd was. "Please, Sir... It's important and I will not waste too much of your time." She asked.
The Brave Detective could see that whatever was on her mind was clearly bothering her. "Alright." He brought his servo to her, palm upwards as the looked at it in confusion.
Noticing that she didn't understand what he was doing, Yuuta spoke up. "Just climb onto Deckerd's hand, nothing to be scared of."
"Ah... Yes sir... Forgive me, I'm not used to this smaller body yet." Radiant Prism did as told, slowly climbing up onto Deckerd's servo, remaining seated as she wasn't used to this. Turning around, the Brave made his way for the exit with her in tow, being sure to tell everyone he'll be back shortly.
Once they were in the corridor, Deckerd walked over towards the end near the lift, keeping out of the way as he stopped in the corner opposite of the door. 'This should be suitable enough to speak to Radiant Prism in private.' He thought.
"So what is it that you wanted to talk to me about?" He asked.
Knowing it was better to resolve the issue she had immediately, Radiant Prism sighed as she braced herself for any possible punishment as she began explaining her earlier actions and what she should have not done to begin with. Deckerd listened closely, yet as the German Brave explained further into the point that she would take in any punishment he deemed fit for her wrongdoings. When she finished, Deckerd simply smiled which caught Radiant Prism off guard, not expecting a positive response.
"About that, I think your punishment would be sufficient enough to simply take in extra lessons with the team." He replied. "I'll confess that a similar incident has happened to myself and one of our fellow teammates when I was helping them."
"...What do you mean?" Radiant Prism asked slowly, not sure where this was going.
As Deckerd explained what he had gone through almost a year ago, Radiant Prism was stunned at what she had been told. Never had she thought that both Deckerd and Gunmax had gone through a somewhat almost similar incident like what she had done before Deckerd's team came to get her. "Sir, I mean no offence but... This is not a joke, is it? ...Just to be sure." She asked slowly, needing to be sure that she wasn't just hearing a made up story.
"No, everything is true. While knowing Gunmax may not be willing to talk about this topic, I do admit that what happened back then is true."
"...So you're not going to have the mechanics suspend my Super A.I.?"
"Wh-Where are you getting these ideas...?" Deckerd couldn't help but ask, completely bewildered by her unusual question.
Sighing heavily, Radiant Prism looked away as her wings drooped. "Sorry... It was one of the threats Gustav threw at me if I were to fail dealing with crime back then around the first month of when I first came online."
Shaking his helm, Deckerd spoke. "As long as you put in a lot of effort into your lessons with the others each day, we can take that as clearing up your actions."
"Yes, sir..."
With everything resolved, Deckerd returned to the office with Radiant Prism in tow, making his way over back towards the balcony to set down Radiant Prism and resume what he was doing. By the time he had set Radiant Prism down, a conversation could be heard from the Build Team as Drill Boy spoke with his fellow Build Team members about a specific topic, keeping his voice down.
"...It's still something to consider, I mean didn't you see that crest on her helm? It's just like Deckerd's and King's except... Well, she has her own country's flag on it." Drill Boy pointed out.
"You shouldn't worry about it too much." Power Joe replied, idly cleaning one of his tonfas. "She hasn't tried ordering us around to begin with, right?"
"Oh, yeah..." Drill Boy sheepishly laughed, his drill shoulders drooping. "But another thing came into mind... What if something were to happen where both Deckerd and Duke are downed or critically injured?"
"McCrane knows how to keep everyone together if something happened to both Deckerd and Duke." Dumpson chimed in, drawing his attention away from a fitness magazine he had been reading. "As Power Joe said, she hasn't started ordering us around to begin with nor showed any intention. Rather than barking out orders or trying to assume leadership, she's instead relatively passive, if not perhaps a bit closed off at times."
"Duke or Deckerd will be assigning someone to teach her, then another person to take over for the day after." McCrane said. "However, there is another issue Radiant Prism will need to resolve: Her fear of humans."
"Ah, she doesn't seem to be afraid of Yuuta anymore, right? Just look at her, isn't she making quick progress even though she's against the wall sitting behind him?" Drill Boy perked up. "I don't think she's afraid of him anymo-"
"Hey, you're supposed to call Boss as Boss, not by his name." Power Joe pointed out.
"He said he was fine with it when I asked a few months back." Drill Boy crossed his arms over his chest. "He told me before we were all shut down to prevent the hamelin waves from controlling us!"
Power Joe stood up. "I doubt that, because only Deckerd can call Boss by his name and only he alone has that authority."
"I'm not joking around!" Standing up, the Soccer Detective started to become irritated. "If he didn't mind it, he would've told me to begin with!"
"That's enough, both of you." McCrane said sternly as both Braves sat back in their chairs.
...
As time passed, calls came in and some of the team left to attend whatever issue required them or with others that are requesting others in particular for help on something they can't really do or risk going alone. When the evenings rolled in, what Radiant Prism took notice in was that unlike the others, Shadowmaru seemed to be busying himself at his desk, seemingly absorbed in whatever he was working on. His desk phone hadn't rang nor did the others request his assistance or need his skills for whatever they needed to do. She was curious to know if the reason behind this was that he did different kinds of work that the others could not. 'Hm... Whatever he has going on seems to be occupying him quite a bit. Perhaps he's tasked with things that only he can deal with that might be displayed on his desk computer...?'
-You're curiously wondering about what I'm doing, correct?- Shadowmaru suddenly said through private communications as Radiant Prism was startled at this sudden question. When his response was only met with silence, he continued. -I have special sensors that allow me to read what others are thinking, but this is only merely a piece of what my special sensors also possess.-
'Special... Sensors!?' Immediately the foreign Brave felt completely uncomfortable about how the Brave easily read her like a book. Not only was she not used to someone like Shadowmaru possessing such an ability to do so, but the fact that he could possibly do more than whatever his special sensors could do aside from reading the minds of others gave her chills down her spine. It was as if the Ninja Detective could read every detail out of her without the need to even ask any questions... Not liking this at all, she slowly grew more uncomfortable and hated the feeling.
The Ninja took quite a bit of amusement of seeing someone surprised about what he possessed that no one else would, but did know when it was enough to tease as he chose not to frighten Radiant Prism any further. -Focusing on the topic at hand, I'm merely working on something that requires my specialty. I can easily listen and read through anything provided mainly if the police are unsure if any information extracted from criminals brought in is either true or false.- Focusing his attention to his desk computer, he had been actually working on something personal thus far only known to him as he couldn't risk the others getting involved on a personal bit of work he had been doing on the side behind closed curtains. Whenever he sensed someone was going to pass by his desk to head out or if someone were to come back, Shadowmaru would hide it by minimizing his work, given that his desk monitor also faced in the direction of where the Build Team was. When inquired about what he was doing, he would reluctantly lie to direct the topic away from it with a careful choice of words. His optics narrowed as he wasn't pleased with what he had done thus far.
'Tch... I must be losing my touch...' He thought with a frown.
As a bit of time passed and everyone was back at the station, some of the others had already filed out to recharge for the night, some had left earlier than others while some left not too long ago. A brief glance at the clock told Shadowmaru that it was time to call it a night as he was glad that he didn't have patrol duty tonight, he could do with a good recharge as it's been a long yet peaceful day for him as he hadn't really needed to head out for patrol nor had he been called... Save for that one time when he was asked by Gunmax to help him out on a case that may require his skill if the tides didn't turn in their favour.
'Hmm... Perhaps I could recharge over at the Tomonaga residence again...' He thought, though knowing he'd have to recharge in the backyard due to Deckerd always occupying the residence's garage. He thought about how Yuuta's sisters didn't mind him spending the night over at their place, albeit the only space he had was their narrow backyard.
Shutting his desk computer down for the night, Shadowmaru stood up.
-About to head down to the garage with the others to recharge?- Deckerd asked, having also stood up.
Knowing that Yuuta must be asleep himself by now, and from the glance in the direction of where he was told him that he was right. -Actually I planned on recharging tonight over at the Tomonaga residence tonight, it has been quite some time since I've last seen Azuki and Kurumi.-
-Ah, now that you've mentioned that, both of them have asked me about you.- Deckerd gently removed Yuuta from his desk. -However, I don't see Azuki as much. She's always going out to see Kashiwazaki or some friends of hers. I'd often see her leave mainly on Sundays around roughly when it's time for my usual Sunday wash.-
Shadowmaru recalled that Azuki and Kashiwazaki had started dating a while back. He remembered how he'd sometimes see the two during patrol in his car mode during the afternoons as he smiled to himself, he was happy that his friend had found someone special in her life even though everyone had been aware of her fondness for the man. He then noticed that Radiant Prism wasn't in the room anymore, then thought about that she must have left either not too long ago or quite a while when he was still focusing on his work.
Glancing at his desk monitor for a moment, he hoped that he'll make better progress tomorrow as he needed to complete his task in secret.
He then locked and shut it down as he prepared to leave alongside Deckerd.
...
The next morning, everyone filed into the offices. Some of the members were still relatively tired while some weren't. Radiant Prism had also managed to adjust to the timezones as she managed to wake up earlier than before. Feeling pleased with herself that she hadn't overslept like yesterday, which meant it gave her time to get away from the mechanics before the area was full of them. She patiently waited for someone to walk in and press the button to ascend to the first floor while making sure to get out of the others' way. To her luck, she saw Gunmax who was discussing patrol related topics with Duke as the both of them entered the lift, the latter pressing the button to ascend to the desired floor. Their conversation ceased as Duke noticed Radiant Prism in the corner of his optic, rather displeased to find her there.
"Radiant Prism, you should have taken the walkway the humans take. At this size someone could step on you." He told her sternly.
"Forgive me, Knight, but I can't get there without Yuuta to guide me... The corridors the humans walk through have so many rooms compared to the corridors we use to get to the offices which have very few." Replied Radiant Prism unhappily.
"Oh yeah, Deckerd and the kid are going to Nanamagari Airport to see that brand new huge looking plane that was all over the news." Gunmax chimed in with a bit of his engrish, earning a glare from the englishmech next to him. the elevator ceasing as the doors opened, having arrived at their destination not long afterwards. "Hm... I think it's going all the way to Tokyo, so this way people from on the ground can get a glimpse of that large plane in the skies." Duke thought, needing to say something to distract himself.
"Leave it to Sunrise Airlines being one of the few airlines to get their hands first on the newest plane models." Shadowmaru chimed in as the others jumped in startle to see him hanging upside down in his dog mode from the ceiling.
"Shadowmaru, this is the seventh time already." Duke sighed, putting a servo to his face. "Please cease from hanging from or even poking from within the ceiling itself!"
Doing as told, Shadowmaru unhooked himself from the ceiling, twisting his body immediately so that he landed on all fours. "I can't quite help it, Sir Knight. It's been a habit of mine for quite a long time." He then noticed some movement in the corner of his orange optics, quickly spotting his target. "Now if you'll excuse me, Deckerd has tasked me with teaching Radiant Prism today." He approached Radiant Prism, casually grabbing her from the scruff of her armour with his muzzle as the foreign Brave yelped at being carried in such a manner, causing her to begin rambling in German as the Ninja Detective took a short walk towards the doors leading to the office.
"...That's a first." Gunmax commented after a seemingly long pause as he continued his way towards the offices, Duke meanwhile had nothing to say upon what he had just witnessed but even he had stared at what Shadowmaru had just did.
In the office, Shadowmaru set Radiant Prism down on his desk as he shapeshifted into his robot mode then took his seat. "Let us begin."
"Ugh... V-Very well..." Radiant Prism replied in a dumbfounded manner as she sat up, managing to switch back to Japanese but was clearly weirded out from being picked up in such a manner. '...He could've torn a wing off doing that.' She thought uneasily.
As Radiant Prism relaxed and went over the lessons Shadowmaru was teaching her, she found that there wasn't a whole lot of too much difference than that of Germany's, except one of the few major things she's noticed is that Japan's driving is on the left instead of the right, and when Shadowmaru mentioned that because of this, the steering wheels were on what would've been the passenger's seat was also the driver's seat. There was so much for her to take in as she studied carefully and listening to the Ninja Detective, answering any questions she gave him the best she could when asked about them. Another thing she had to learn were the different signs that she hadn't even seen before, another set of different laws and cultures unique to Japan itself. While this wouldn't technically be something that was all too necessary due to being able to fly rather than drive, it was still recommended so that should she witnessed anyone breaking the law from high above during patrol, she would know what occurred and confront the lawbreaker accordingly. Sometime later, they would take a break when the large screen displayed the news as it was about time for the news to go live.
When the news was being shown, there was a conversation about the plane and as the image displayed the brand new plane and it's enormous size for a few moments, Radiant Prism stared in awe as she had never seen such a large commercial plane before as it looked so shiny and clean. "Amazing..." She breathed to herself silently.
"I see you show great interest in this plane." Shadowmaru commented.
"Of course! Aviation is something I'm very passionate about." Replied Radiant Prism, not taking her optics off the screen. "The sleek designs, it's massive large wings, the turbines... Or depending on the plane, propellers. I know just about almost nearly everything about the majestic beauty that is aviation. But this plane in particular... No, I've never seen anything like it, not even high up in the skies when I flew all the way here from Germany where I'd see plentiful of planes while riding the jet stream or even in my city's airports. Hmm... If I were to roughly calculate a guess on how many passengers it can carry, I'll start with planes meant for long travels knowing that the common capacity for passengers being around roughly between four hundred fifty to even possibly about five hundred." The German Brave proceeded to cross her arms over her chest as she thought for a few seconds until she spoke again.
"...I'd say considering this massive plane, it looks capable of carrying twice the amount of passengers... So we're seeing nearly about perhaps around almost a thousand. However, on the more important matters, I am deeply concerned about if Nanamagari Airport has enough runway for it to take off and land should it make a trip back here... A large plane such as this one needs a lot of runway to both take off and land compared to more smaller ones. However, they would need to be careful that despite the capacity of passengers thanks to it's massive size, the weight needs to be taken into account, such as the luggage and fuel being added to the weight alongside the weight of the passengers..."
"Ayako-san!" Others present turned their attention to Dumpson who was also watching the news, and upon carefully looking back at the screen, they could see one of their friends among the crowd of journalists trying to take pictures or interview some staff members of the airline. Of course it wasn't much of a surprise to just about everyone.
For Radiant Prism, however, she didn't understand.
...
"I'm glad I brought my binoculars for this." Yuuta said happily as he looked through them to get a good view of the new plane itself, which was currently at a gate. "You think people are boarding the plane now? Or is it still too early?" As he set the binoculars onto his lap, he then quickly noticed that another plane in front of it was starting to get towed away from the gates. "Ah, look! That one other plane that was in front of it moved away and we can see the new plane better!"
"I see that." Replied Deckerd. "With Sunrise Airlines being one of the most successful airlines in the world, they're one of the few to order newer models of planes once they're released."
"Really? I didn't know that."
"I've overheard it yesterday when Duke and I were returning from a dangerous case." Deckerd then thought back to it as he hoped to not deal with cases that involved dangerous leaks of the kind, which meant that he had to keep away from Yuuta until the mechanics cleaned him out both inside and out but knew it was necessary as he couldn't think about being the cause of him carrying the dangerous chemicals that clung to his frame back to the station and Yuuta getting himself hurt from the stuff. Duke himself also had to undergo the same progress, and it took quite a while until both of of them were clear and safe to be around Yuuta or any other people again.
"Oh that's right, how did that go?" Yuuta lowered the binoculars, looking to his friend.
"Duke has been looking deeper into it, but it's possible we may have a new lead on the escaped criminal but none of us can say for sure yet. But whatever they wanted to do with those harmful chemicals they've left at the area we've discovered, I have a bad feeling about when they start to show up..." The Brave Detective thought for a moment, then looked to his friend. "Yuuta, just in case it comes out of hiding... I recommend to keep your distance."
"Eh?" Yuuta looked confused, though from looking into Yuuta's eyes, he could see that he looked hurt from this as it pained Deckerd to see such an expression. Deckerd gave himself a moment until he then began to explain. "Boss, Duke and I are not sure if the chemicals found at the area are going to be used in whatever the criminal plans to do. According to Duke's scanners, he said that the chemicals contained inside is bad for the lungs and the skin, and I don't want you to get hurt."
"But you know I have to be there in case you guys need the unification command, right?"
"Yes, but I think perhaps it might be a good idea to remain a fair distance depending on specific criminals such as the one possibly described. I worry for what your sisters would think if you were exposed to harmful chemicals... As for the unification command, you can still initiate it from a far distance."
Yuuta was silent for a moment, but after thinking about it, he nodded, his hurt expression changing to that of a smile. "Okay."
Their attention was back to the new plane and immediately what they saw was the gate slowly being pulled away. Immediately, Yuuta held up the binoculars again as he noticed a small vehicle driving around under it and backing up carefully to attach itself to the front of the plane's nose gear.
"Ah, it's gonna go soon! I wonder if they're going to fly somewhere far out, like America, England, or even maybe Australia!" The young boy grinned happily, excited to see it's take off. "If only Radiant Prism were here with us to see the plane take off, since I know she really likes planes."
"I'm sure she can see it's takeoff being broadcasted on the news while she's working with Shadowmaru." Deckerd watched as the plane was being towed away from the gates, rather amased with how careful the pushback drivers were when handling the plane. He wondered if it took years of training to move planes around without accidentally not only bumping their fuselage or especially their massive long wings into obstacles such as other nearby planes or parts of the terminal itself. "If I'm not wrong, the plane isn't going to fly out of the country yet but rather they're doing short flights first to get a feel of the plane, so people will be going to other parts of Japan and eventually I'm sure they'll start making trips to other countries. Though this size..."
"Size?" Yuuta glanced at the plane once more, then turned to his friend as he began to think about the size of Deckerd's vehicle mode, then immediately lit up happily. "Ah, I think I got it, you were about to say that the size would be enough to carry you and maybe one or two others, right?"
"Eh? Ah, I suppose." While the thought hadn't crossed Deckerd's mind, it now made him curious as to how Duke came all the way here to Japan with Regina a year ago. He knew that this would be a question to ask the Englishmech when he sees him again back at the station.
Because there was traffic in Nanamagari Airport for departure as there were other planes waiting in line to take off, both Deckerd and Yuuta passed the time chatting about mostly work related things, and occasionally some things Yuuta had planned for when they both manage to get themselves a day off. The conversation soon drifted to concern about other matters that they were still looking into but hoped they would find some form of breakthrough to continue finding out more clues about the evidence that they currently have.
When the time finally came for Sunrise Airlines' massive plane to take off, Yuuta grabbed his binoculars, ready to focus them on the plane so that he could witness the take off closely.
"Ahhh, I can't wait anymore!" He muttered to himself happily with a giggle, clearly excited for the aircraft to take flight.
Deckerd glanced to his shoulder slightly with a smile, seeing how happy his friend was made him the happiest of all. Upon the roar of the aircraft's powerful turbines, he watched as it began to speed up and start rushing down the runway. After a few seconds in, the two friends watched as it flew up into the skies, rotating and ascending slowly as to not strike it's tail along the asphalt of the runway.
As they watched, Yuuta reached into his coat pocket but as he couldn't find what he was looking for he exclaimed.
Concerned, Deckerd looked to Yuuta. "What's wrong, Yuuta?"
"I... I forgot my camera! I planned on taking a picture of it but I left it back at home..." Yuuta then had on the biggest pouty face that immediately made Deckerd worry, but immediately thought of something as he brought a gentle servo to the young boy.
"We could extract some of the images from my memory when we get back to the station, since I may have some closeups of the plane you'd like." He told him gently.
"Really!?" Yuuta brightened up in an instant, but then quickly began to worry as he felt that he was asking too much from his best friend. "But, Deckerd... Are you really okay with that?"
"Yes, of course." Deckerd replied gently with a small nod.
A smile surfacing on Yuuta's face, he then hugged him by the side of his helm for a moment. "Thank you, Deckerd." When he then sat up, he then noticed something in the corner of his eye, and immediately he was alarmed by what he saw.
"Deckerd, the plane! The plane is smoking!" He exclaimed, seeing one of it's turbines spewing out smoke.
Alarmed by what he saw and knowing that he needed to act fast, he gently set Yuuta down and immediately called for the others. Once the others acknowledged that they were on their way, Deckerd looked to Yuuta and requested for the unification command. As Yuuta nodded, he backed up so that he wasn't too close and began initiating the unification command.
"BRAVE UP!"
Once Deckerd completed his transformation sequences, Yuuta then spoke through his communicator. "Alright! Everyone, rescue that damaged plane!"
"Acknowledged, Boss!" Came everyone's response as they got to work.
Gunmax Armour, who was already there ahead of the others was waiting for the others to catch up so that they could attend to the crippled plane, having noticed that one of it's engines had seemingly blown out, but what concerned him were bits of debris had scraped along parts of the wing and even the side of the fuselage. Fortunately he hadn't need to wait very long as J-Decker, Super Build Tiger, Duke Fire, and Shadowmaru finally arrived.
"We need to hurry and get it back to Nanamagari Airport, I'm detecting small traces of smoke in the cabin gradually building up slowly from the damaged turbine. Fortunately everyone has their oxygen masks on but it only lasts for fifteen minutes." Advised Duke Fire, glancing over at the damaged turbine, immediately assuming that it must be the main turbine that supplied air into the aircraft.
As everyone positioned themselves to parts of the plane, with Super Build Tiger centered to support the middle section of the body where the wings connected to the fuselage, they were about to get to work to bring it back to the airport, but just before Super Build Tiger's massive servos almost came to rest on the base of the plane's wings, Radiant Prism spoke through the communications.
"Build Team, don't put your servos on the wings otherwise you'll break them off and cause even further damage!" She exclaimed.
"Radiant Prism!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Focus your support mainly on the fuselage evenly, but never put any weight on the wings." Radiant Prism explained sternly.
"What?"
"In short, the main body of the plane. Put weight on the wings and they'll begin to snap off... I know because as sturdy as they may seem, the fuselage is more sturdier than the wings." Radiant Prism explained hastily yet calmly. "I can explain in more further detail once you guys get that plane down first, time is unfortunately short with the smoke building up according to Knight, and who knows how much time is left in those oxygen masks the people have."
"...Let's trust her judgement, the smoke is getting thicker." Shadowmaru told the others after a moment.
"Alright, let's get this plane down carefully." J-Decker and the others began to securely hold onto the fuselage of the aircraft carefully while Shadowmaru, with the aid of his special systems spoke to the pilots through the plane's communication systems, informing them of what they're doing. Everyone worked hard to ensure the plane they were carrying back to the airport was equally balanced with their support as they flew back down in the direction of it carefully.
Duke Fire was growing concerned as they were close to the airport as he feared the oxygen masks were going to run out very soon. Down on the ground, the team could see lots of airport firetrucks and ambulances waited patiently for them to bring the aircraft back down.
By the time they finally made it to the ground, they wasted no time in carefully setting the plane down and the flight attendants opened the emergency doors and inflatable slides dropped. Immediately, Yuuta ordered everyone to disengage so that there was plenty of extra hands to help speed up the rescue efforts in getting passengers out safely. Duke made use of the Fire Roader's ladder while the Build Team focused solely on the passengers on the upper decks.
"I've got the pilots!" Drill Boy beamed, showing the team the Captain and First Officer as he then went over to go put them down next to the other passengers then returned to the others, wondering if there's anymore other people needing rescue. "It's cool that they have their own emergency exits."
"Shadowmaru, are there any people still in the plane?" McCrane asked after setting down the last group of people.
With a brief glimpse of the plane, Shadowmaru then shook his helm. "None, the plane is entirely empty."
"The rescue is a success!" Beamed Yuuta. "Great job everyone!"
"The credit shouldn't go entirely to us, kid." Gunmax Armour said. "But rather the rookie should get some credit too, who knows what could've happened if she hasn't said anything to begin with."
"Yep, we should all thank her properly when we get back." Yuuta smiled.
