Preemptive Strike
Luna appeared in a red light right in front of the Satella Police HQ and immediately ran into the command center. In the command center she saw virtually everyone inside. The screen showed virus attacks everywhere.
"Val, the Four Guardians! They've-" Luna started.
"We already know," Ace said for Val, who was really silent looking at the screen, "Damn it, I wasn't expecting them to attack like this!"
Xerox materialized next to Luna, "How bad is it?" he asked.
"Horrible!" Bud said, "There are viruses everywhere! Not only that, but since they're directly from Planet FM they're stronger than normal viruses!"
"What are they doing?" Pat asked, "This attack is really unusual. There's no purpose or anything."
"We don't know that," Solo said, "If their goal is to draw someone out, then it's the perfect plan."
"Harpuia said that they were trying to draw out Neo Arcadia," Luna stated, catching everyone's attention.
"How do they know about that?" Ace asked.
"Harpuia must have followed Xerox and I back to Earth. He's apparently been keeping an eye on things for a while," Luna explained.
"If that's the case then how come we didn't know about this?" Ace asked, apparently getting agitated, something that only happened when things got really bad.
"That's why Aries sent Harpuia," Xerox stated, "He's able to hide his signal. He could have been here for weeks and we not know about it."
"So, how are we going to handle this?" Zack asked, turning away from the computer.
"Isn't it obvious?" Val said finally, "They may want Neo Arcadia, but they're going to get us instead!"
"Val..." Ace started.
"You know we can't ignore this, Ace! If we don't strike now then we may never get the chance!" Val stated.
"These guys are different than other EM Beings!" Ace tried to reason, "They're not humans, and they're not Wizards either! These guys are the real deal, fresh from Planet FM! Not only that but they're the best of the best! They were trained for war!"
"And so was I!" Val said shutting Ace up, "I've waited a long time for this, and I'm not going to pass this up!" Val then turned to Luna, "Please Luna, help me! You know them better than me!"
Luna had to think on this one. In truth, her only concern was protecting Cyber City. For Val, it was something different though, she could tell. She knew that if she left Val alone she was just going to go on her own, so in the end...
"Only on the condition that we don't go alone!" Luna said.
"Of course," Val said walking up to everyone, "Zero and Harp Note will go after Leviathan together. Fenrir left the planet, so Taurus Fire and Rogue will go into the city and protect the civilians. Since Harpuia will be tougher, I want Gemini Spark with me. Is everyone clear!"
"Yes ma'am!" everyone saluted. They all ran outside and stood next to each other, each getting ready to Wave Change in their own way.
"Transcode 004! Harp Note!"
"Transcode 002! Rogue!"
"Transcode 005! Taurus Fire!"
"Transcode 011! Gemini Spark!"
"Transcode 123! Elpizo!
"Transcode 666! Zero!"
All six of them disappeared from the Real World, each going to their own individual fights. Dr. Goodall walked over to Ace, who was watching them from the front entrance.
"She'll be fine. With all six of them I'm sure they'll pull through," Dr. Goodall reasoned.
"I sure hope so," Ace said, deciding to stay behind until he was needed. After all, Acid Ace was still partially a government secret, and only unleashed in emergencies.
Taurus Fire and Rogue appeared on the Wave Road over Cyber City. There were viruses of all types, and they were everywhere. In the Real World, machines were malfunctioning all over, and the people were in a panic.
"Geez," Taurus Fire said, "is all of this necessary? I know they're trying to draw out Neo Arcadia, but this is insane!"
"The Four Guardians don't hold Planet Earth in high regard," Rogue stated, "They're willing to burn the entire planet in order to achieve their objective."
"How are we going to handle all of this?"
"It's going to take a while, but I suggest we split up. I'll handle one side of the city, and you take on the other."
"You mean, work together?" Taurus Fire said, shocked to hear Rogue suggest such a strategy.
"Trust me, it makes me sick to think that I actually need help. Don't rub it in," Rogue said rushing forward. Taurus Fire shrugged and rushed in the opposite direction.
Zero and Harp Note teleported on the Wave Road over the ocean. They looked around until they saw Leviathan already in a Wave Battle, with Lynx. Sadly the fight was one sided, and Leviathan was winning.
Leviathan kicked Lynx to the ground, and for a moment Lynx lied there looking helpless.
"This is Neo Arcadia?" Leviathan asked in a taunting manner, "I didn't think they would be so... weak!" she said laughing evilly. Lynx looked up in fear, expecting the worse.
"Lynx!" Zero said as she and Harp Note ran in front of Lynx defending her. Lynx looked up in shock.
"Zero? Why are you here meow?" Lynx asked.
"That's what I want to know," Leviathan said, "Last time I heard, the Satella Police and Neo Arcadia were enemies."
"The Satella Police may be enemies with Neo Arcadia, but we share a common enemy with Planet FM!" Zero said as she and Harp Note held up their weapons. They then turned to look at Lynx, "Can you move?" Zero asked Lynx, who slowly shook her head, "Leave this to us, Lynx. You rest here."
"Oh, so I fight both of you? This should be fun!" Leviathan said holding her staff forward.
"Luna, we have to end this quickly. Pat and Val are having the toughest time right now," Harp Note whispered to Zero.
"You're right, Sonia. We'll have to work together on this. I only have one Nightmare Virus Card," Zero whispered back, and then they both got into fighting stances, "Let's go Leviathan! Wave Battle! Action!"
Zero and Leviathan charged at each other and began fighting close quarter. Leviathan jumped back and slashed at the air creating a tidal wave that rushed toward Zero and Harp Note, who were standing back to back.
"Zero, let's switch!" Harp Note said to Zero, who nodded. The two of them turned around so Harp Note was facing Leviathan, "Shock Note!" she shouted as two large speakers appeared next to her. She played a loud note on her guitar sending an electric blast from the speakers at Leviathan, who jumped away from the attack. Harp Note then rushed at Leviathan holding her guitar by the neck and fought Leviathan close quarter, using her guitar like a sword.
While they fought, Zero ran on another Wave Road next to them and activated a Battle Card, "Mega Cannon!" she said as her left arm turned into a Mega Cannon. She then fired at Leviathan, who used her staff to block the attacks. Zero then jumped over to Leviathan with her Z-Saber out and slashed at Leviathan. For a second they stood there not moving, but then Harp Note slammed her guitar into Leviathan knocking her back.
"Z-Mirage!" Zero shouted as two clones appeared next to her. The clones rushed up to Leviathan and fought her for a few seconds, but Leviathan slashed at the clones deleting them.
This time, both Zero and Harp Note rushed at Leviathan and the three of them clashed weapons. Zero stepped back as Harp Note and Leviathan clashed weapons. Leviathan did a spin kick to Harp Note, who did an elegant back flip away from the attack. Zero ran up to Leviathan and fought in Harp Note's place. Zero jumped back as Harp Note shot at Leviathan with a Pulse Gun Battle Card, paralyzing her. Zero and Harp Note both rushed past her slashing her.
"Damn it!" Leviathan shouted as she exploded, leaving her EM Form lying there. Zero and Harp Note ran back to Lynx.
"Hey, can you Trans Out?" Zero asked Lynx, who slowly nodded. Before Zero could say anything, her Hunter VG went off, "This is Zero."
"Zero, Elpizo and Gemini Spark need back up!" Ace said, "Can you and Harp Note get to the power plant and help them?"
"We're on our way!" Zero said cutting the connection, "Harp Note, let's move!"
"Got it!" the two of them got up and walked off a bit.
"This doesn't change anything meow!" Lynx said to Zero and Harp Note, "Neo Arcadia is on a mission, and I won't let you stop them!"
Zero remained silent. She and Harp Note turned to Lynx, and then with their backs turned to Lynx, Transed Out going to help Elpizo and Gemini Spark.
