Jo and Meg quickly sprang into action. Before Kyokara ever got a chance to release the trigger on her gun, Jo grabbed her from behind and Meg took the gun from her.

"Arn't you a little too young to be carrying a gun litttle girl?" Meg mocked as she gave the confiscated gun to Jo. Jo snapped the gun with ease. Then she backhanded Kyokara and knocked her out before she could get over her shock.

"Takara..are you alright?" Jo asked her comrade as Takara rehoisted her guns. Sweat was dripping down her face and she seemed confused.

"Umm..yeah.." "Thank you Jo and Meg..but now, what are we gonna do about Kyokara?" "We can't kill her..."

Meg glanced at Kyokara a little nervously.Even though she was out cold, Meg coudn't help but start to worry.

Jo turned he back and started walking again

"Just leave her..Sei said her gang will finish the Job and apprehend her. We need to move now.."

Meg and Takara quickly ran to Jo. They borded a late train into the heart of the city. It was about midnight as they reached thier designated stop. The 3 dislounged from the train stop and walked towards the nearest city not far from the main terminal.

"Ok, from what Sei told us..the local should be nearby. In any event, we need to plan our strategy carefully. RAPT may be expecting us..."

Takara turned to Jo and Meg.

"I think you should sneak in first. There's two of you, so it'll be harder for them to track you down."

"How will you meet up with us?" Jo asked. "it may be dangerous if you stay alone. Especially if more assassans try to target you."

Meg nodded. "Im with Jo. I know all about what happened..so does Jo..to be on the safe side, you shouldn't take big riskss..that's what almost got you killed earlier!"

Meg's harsh tone deeply startled her. She sighed.

"Your right Meg..."

Before Takara could finish her train of thought..she started to hear a faint rumbling sound somewhere nearby.

Jo and Meg sensed the rumbling sound too, for they cringed a bit.

"What the hell was that noise?" Meg asked, a little fearful

"I dunno. But I can bet it was no earthquake." Jo glanced around cautiously.

"Do you see anything from here.? I can't see a thing"

"Takara.." Jo replied "It's comming"..

"What's comming..?"

Meg looked at Jo. "it couldn't be..so RAPT ..used the manuscript..and.."

'Were we too late?"asked Takara nervously

"No..but there's not much time left.."

As another rumble erupted..Jo, Takara ,and Meg ran to the underground lab as fast as they could move. Once they slowed down..they all panted and took a glance at where they were.

"we..made it.." Meg panted weakly. 'Now..what.."

Jo answered.."We find that damned cybot and dismantal the bastard."And..we dispose of anyone who tries to stop us.."

Takara nodded. "I agree. We need to find where they hid the damned thing. From the rumbles we heared earlier..the cybot may be closer then we think. So we need to find and deal with it now."

Meg nodded. 'yeah..let's..huh? Oh great..Just what we needed. The guards are here."

'So we fight then.." Jo calmly drew her guns and fired on about 13 RAPT guards. They dropped like flies, leaving a grusome pile of blood and corpses. Takara joined in the frey and made short work of the remaining guards that followed.

"That's what I call taking out the trash that doesn't deserve to live."Takara smirked a little coldly.

"Now.."Jo replied.."We take out the big guns.."

Jo, Meg, and Takara began thier mission to get the manuscript away from RAPT. But as Jo stated..Time was running out..for unbeknowest to them..the Cybot was in the final developement stages..and its power was ready to be used to bring about an unseen path of carnage and despare...
