Test...
Jinn stared down at his screen. He had already send out all the LBXs they had on that area upon noticing the disappearance of Fairy's signal.
Jinn: " Russia, the last place Himari William was seen in, huh?"
The door of his office suddenly opened as someone entered. He looked up and a smirk appeared on his face.
Jinn: " I didn't expect you to visit soon."
The boy merely narrowed his eyes as he looked at the screen of the man's laptop.
" Russia?"
Jinn: " yeah, it appears they headed there."
" So, what's Leviathan's orders?"
Jinn : " Leviathan is now focusing on something else, he has tasked me to do as I see fit. He really knows nothing but giving orders."
" It's better this way..."
Jinn smirk dissipated as he squinted his eyes at the red head in front of him. The boy clenched his fits tightly.
" People... Would never understand... That's why, guiding them is Leviathan's purpose."
Jinn's smirk returned immediately, he was satisfied with what he just heard.
" Any other orders for us?"
Jinn: " nothing for now, but stay on standby. "
With a bow, the boy left. As the door closed, Jinn leaned back on his chair with a board smirk.
Jinn : " out of all people, I thought that kid would be the hardest to convince. But to see his loyalty to our ideal... How can you be a master of reading people despite being an AI, Leviathan."...
Tunisia...
The man was looking down his phone, checking he had all the needed files.
Bechir: " with this, I can finally put an end to everything."
He narrowed his eyes at the family picture he set as a background.
Bechir: " things may get rough for us if I send this, but we can pull through. All that matters is that no one is endangered anymore."
His driver stopped at the red light, waiting. Suddenly their eyes were caught by the cloud of dust coming from the very end of the rows of cars in front of them.
It was merely a few seconds. There was nothing they could do back then. A track whose driver failed to stop it was rushing their way, pushing away each and every car in its way, and eventually, theirs.
The car rolled once, twice, before resting on its side with the driver hitting his head hard against the window. Bechir was still yet awake, but the windowshield's glass pierced through his body and he was bleeding profusely. With a shaken hand, he grabbed his phone which screen was cracked, but thankfully was still functioning.
Bechir: " it's up... To you..."
He pressed on a button and everything went black after that...
Lilyan : " right, over the hill."
The older blonde pointed out and Sayaka swerved right, the snow bike climbing the small hill.
Sayaka: " it has been a few hours already. I don't know if even the bike would continue on."
Ban: " an there is no telling if we're getting closer or not."
Jeanne d'Arc : " maybe it was too far after all."
All of a sudden, Odin Mk2 flew ahead of them and Sayaka's first reaction was to halt.
Ban: " what's wrong?"
The other two LBXs jumped after Odin Mk2, each holding up it's weapon.
Unicorn: " there is a strange signal around."
Jeanne D'arc : " be careful."
All three humans got off the bike, looking around them for any sign of danger. The LBXs gathered around each other in order to cover each other's back. Suddenly, the ground gave a slight shake before something jumped up from underneath the snow and landing in front of them.
Odin: " this is!"
Ban: " Killer Droid Pegasus!"...
Outside the Town...
As expected, LBXs and Killer droids soon swarmed all over the small town.
Asuka: " they're here! And they're too much!"
Sendou: " feeling afraid already!"
Asuka: " like hell I would!"
Jin: " yosh! Let's move as planned! Aya! Gouda!"
They both exchanged smirks and nods.
Aya: " time for the opening ceremony! Hissatsu Function!"
Gouda: " Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Giga Destroyer!"
" Attack Function: Chou Gao Cannon !"
The two destructive moves were launched at the first row of LBXs marching towards them, blowing them away.
Jin: " Kazu!"
Kazu: " you don't have to tell me twice! Everyone! Aim at their heads!"
He, Jessica, Ken and Tougo were using the Luminous Shooters while Mirai had her beam rifle. All four of them shot down the ones who tried to infiltrate from the sky.
Jin: " Arata!"
Arata: " right on it!"
His overload activated and the synchronization level rose up.
" Synchro at maximum. Activate Full Synchro."
Arata: " Dot Blastrizer connect!"
In a flash of red light, he was in his LBX armor, facing off the killer droids.
Arata: " leave those guys to me!"
Muraku : " we're supporting you as well!"
Elie looked at the man next to her.
Elie: " Jin."
Jin nodded his head.
Jin: " the rest of us, charge!"
" Roger!"
The other LBXs engaged in a close fight along with the enemies.
Haruka, Egor and Seiko were watching from the house's window as dust rose up in the horizon.
Seiko: " will they be alright?"
Haruka: " don't worry about them. They had been through harder predicament before. They will manage to pull through."
Even though she said that to calm the other woman down, she couldn't help but to worry herself. The number of enemies were too much for them to handle on their own. She prayed silently for her children and friends to be safe...
They hardly managed to dodge as the huge robot fired at them. Roaring hoarsely, it jumped up, aiming to smash them under its feet, yet, Odin and the other LBXs were able to survive. Though Jeanne D'arc received a very rough hit on the back by the droid's tail.
Sayaka: " Jeanne D'arc !"
Lilyan: " what is a killer droid doing here of all places?! Could it be that Onii-sama already..."
Dread spread all over her face at the possibility of her brother being already captured by Leviathan.
Ban: " we won't know until we take it down!"
Odin whirled around its lance before flying off to the robot, plunging the end of the green beam lance in between its wings.
The Killer droid roared and trashed around before it was punched hardly by Unicorn's giant claw.
Unicorn: " Lilyan! Let's wrap things here and head to your brother!"
The blonde narrowed her eyes and nodded before typing on her CCM.
Lilyan: " Real Mode!"
SD Unicorn's form enlarged as it became at the same size of a normal LBX before its back jets detached themselves, shooting at the Killer droid which roared while trying to keep away from them and fighting Odin and Jeanne D'arc at the same time.
Ban: " Sayaka! Let's slow it down!"
Sayaka nodded.
Sayaka: " alright! Jeanne D'arc!"
The brown and golden LBX slashed at the wires on the back of the droid's feet while Odin aimed at its tail. Unicorn rushed over and slammed his axe down on its face, to which it jolted back.
Odin: " yosh, we've almost gotten it!"
The Killer Droid backed a few steps and its chest opening shined. Its whole body glowed in blue as particles rose up from it, fixing the damaged parts.
Lilyan: " what!?"
Sayaka: " it can repair itself?!"
Ban: " that..."
His eyes narrowed before the refreshed lizard robot lunged on their LBXs. Odin blocked it using its shield.
Odin: " Ban, what should we do now?"
Ban eyed the Killer Droid for a second before narrowing his eyes.
Ban: " Sayaka, Lilyan, attack it with your Hissatsu Function!"
Sayaka: " eh! But you just saw how it can heal itself!?"
Ban: " just do it while Odin is holding it now."
Lilyan and Sayaka then exchanged nods.
Sayaka: " Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Victory Sword!"
Jeanne D'arc's sword was overwhelmed in a blue hue as she dashed towards the robot's hinder pats, slashing at them and causing an explosion of blue energy to break out, knocking it off balance.
Lilyan: " I'll take it from here! Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Grand Wall!"
Unicorn slammed his axe on the ground, gathering a ball of energy around it end before launching it at the Killer Droid, forcing it back.
Once again, the lizard robot started shining.
Ban: " Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Gungunir!"
Odin launched his energy lance down upon the robot and its healing process was halted for a few second.
Odin: " that..."
Ban: " as I thought. We can stop it from repairing itself if we keep attacking it!"
Lilyan and Sayaka widened their eyes slightly at that but they nodded in unison.
Sayaka : " I will have to use it then."
She stated as her hand reached underneath her hat, pulling one end of her bow, which was revealed to be a USB port. She plugged it into her necklace and a another USB port stuck out before she linked it to her phone and her eyes went dull while Jeanne D'arc's brightened even more.
Ban: " what..."
He was surprised when he saw her using both hands with a great speed to issue commands to her LBX whose speed and power increased drastically at that.
Ban: " this is... The same as the overload..."
He couldn't help but comment as he saw Jeanne D'arc pushing the Killer Droid Pegasus back.
Sayaka: " it's more like an artificial overload, I will explain it later, right now, lend me a hand."
Odin: " Ban!"
Ban: " Right! WX mode!"
Odin Mk2's outlines glowed in orange as he dashed to the other LBX's aid, landing quick slices and breaking a few parts of the droid's armor.
The Killer Droid roared in anger and it managed to forcefully push both LBXs back before shooting at them. Fortunately, Unicorn's jets flew in front of each one of them, creating an energy shield.
Unicorn: " be careful!"
He yelled at them as he jumped up and hit the Killer Droid hard on the head that it swayed for a few seconds.
Ban: " don't stop attacking!"
Odin and Jeanne D'arc were pressing on the robot with their high speed attacks, forcing it to take several steps backwards.
Though its body glowed, but the series of attacks it was receiving didn't allow it to regenerate.
Ban: " let's finish it all together! Hissatsu Function!"
Following his lead, both girls unleashed their finishing functions as well.
" Attack Function: Jet Striker!"
" Attack Function: Ground Wall!"
" Attack Function: Victory Sword!"
In a united attack, they swept past the droid, leaving it with sparks flying of its body as it received that much of damage, collapsing to the ground. Its eyes suddenly started blinking with its body glowing in blue.
Ban: " that... A high energy is rising up from it!"
Sayaka : " is it going to explode!"
Before he could answer it, a certain owl mark appeared on their screens all of a sudden.
" Abort self destruction."
Much to their surprise, the droid stopped glowing, only its visors still were. A certain artificial feminine voice came out.
" Everyone, I've confirmed your resolution."
Their eyes blinked twice in bewilderment.
" If you were able to take down this Killer Droid, then I'm sure you're fit to protect the Creator."
With that, the light of its visors went dim. Just at that moment, they could see the horizon ahead of them fading and shifting in a glittering of silver, revealing a small cottage a few meters away from them.
Ban: " this is..."
Lilyan took out the driver and the hologram compass was pointing at the cottage.
Ban gently placed a hand on her shoulder and nodded at her. The older blonde took in a deep breath before setting her eyes on the cottage.
Sayaka : " let's go."
With that, all of them headed to the only building in that snow covered area...
A purple lightning zoomed in between the LBXs before it revealed the outline of KeQing, holding her sword up. The LBXs she attacked soon exploded.
Lillia bit her lip as she checked her LBX's status.
Lillia: " the battery is almost out. KeQing! No more Starward Sword!"
KeQing: " that will be tough!"
She plunged her sword into the next LBX that lunged at her.
Momona: " they're too much!"
Dot Phasor was hardly keeping up.
Muraku quickly slashed at the queen that aimed at him from behind.
Muraku : " don't let your guard down!"
Dot Phasor : " easier said than done!"
Odin M came flying in the form of a jet, knocking away the enemies.
Wataru: " Muraku-senpai, leave the back up to us!"
Twilight's katanas quickly moved around, cutting the ones surrounding her into two before flying up as more of them swarmed towards her.
Hiro: " Eva-san! Watch out!"
Twilight was surprised to see a swarm of flying LBXs heading her way.
Mirai: " Hissatsu Function!"
" Attack Function: Tri Laser Cannon!"
Concentrated Laser beams shot most of them down and she sighed in relieve.
Evangeline: " thanks, Mirai!"
The older woman help her thump up at her.
Beargguy's beam blade was cutting its way through the enemies.
Beargguy: " Jin! We're almost at our limits here! Any B plans?!"
Jin: " unfortunately no."
Nightmare: " how promising! We will just keep fighting them!"
Asuka: " any better thing to do!"
Sendou: " at this rate..."
He took out a card.
Sendou: " Reversed Tower... Disaster avoided..."
Arata: " watch out!"
He screamed when one of the new Killer Droids model escaped him.
Ran: " it's heading our way!"
Even though Minerva tried to stop it, but she was effortlessly knocked back with sevier damage to her boosters.
" Attack Function: Cosmos Wings!"
Two whips of blue energy unleashed down at the black robot, carving an X mark on its chest as they hit it.
" Attack Function: Giga Bomb!"
A ball of crimson energy fell upon it, destroying it in a ruthless explosion.
Sendou: " the new type Killer Droid..."
Jin: "... Was easily defeated..."
Their eyes wandered up as two LBXs flew above their heads. A blue and white Brawler Framed one and a Crimson Strider one were floating in front of them like if daring any other LBX to try its hands at attacking...
Sayaka : " it's locked."
She pointed out as she tried to open the door but didn't budge the slightest. At that moment, their CCMs vibrated within their pockets and when they took them out, once more the owl blue symbol appeared on their screens and they could hear the sound of the lock turning the other way.
Lilyan blinked twice before clutching the knob and turning it, cracking the door open slightly.
Lilyan: " pardon our intrusion."
" Disable security system."
Minerva's voice resounded again, taking them by surprise. Except her, there was no other answer. Taking a second look around the living, the kitchen, and the bed rooms there was no one there.
Lilyan: " it can't be that he..."
Ban: " we still have one more room to check."
He said pointing at the only left door. They slowly and quietly approached it, Lilyan placed her hand on the handle and pushed it open as quietly as she could, praying from the bottom of her heart that he would be there.
As she peeked inside, her eyes slightly glimmered. A man was standing there, facing the window as he was reading a book, so they only could see his back.
"... In order for this method to work, I need to have a more advanced data base, else it will take a long time to find the needed data to load..."
Lilyan quietly pushed the door wide open. When it creaked, he looked back, quite surprised.
William: " well, I didn't expect guests so soon."
He said with a soft smile as he placed down the book on the desk.
Ban: " you're Himari William-san, right?"
William frowned at that. He was sure none of the leads he made had his real name.
William: " how did you..."
Lilyan: " Onii... Sama..."
He then directed his look to the older blonde as she stepped forward. Something about her felt familiar. She walked off to him slowly before actually breaking into run and throwing herself in his arms, taking him by surprise.
Lilyan: " Onii-sama ! I missed you so much! Onii-sama!"
His eyes slightly widened at that before grabbing her tightly, looking into her eyes full of tears.
William: " Lily... Is it really you, Lily..."
The woman managed a smile despite her tears and nodded. William's face beamed at her as he eyed her.
William: " oh my god! Look at how much you've grown! You're taking after our mother after all! I hardly... Recognized you..."
His smile melted slowly as it downed on him. He hardly recognized her, his one and only little sister. For a moment, she was nothing but a total stranger for him. William slowly let go of her arms, guilt welling in his chest that it became so heavy.
Lilyan: " Onii-sama..."
William: " I'm sorry Lilyan... I..."
He didn't know what to tell her. There was nothing he could tell her.
Sayaka: " William-san."
Sayaka interfered at that very moment, catching his attention.
William: " you're... Professor Elnkova's daughter!"
Sayaka: " it's a pleasure to see you after these years. Though I'm afraid we should cut the reunion short. Leviathan's army is around."
William: " they're already here!"
Lilyan nodded.
Lilyan: " our friends are already stalling them."
William though about it for a second and then turned to the three of them.
William: " let's head back to the town."...
Sendou: " you... You should be kidding me..."
Was all he could matter as he saw the two LBXs' moves. Everyone almost stopped following their own LBXs.
Evangeline: " I've never seen these types before."
Ruri: " their specs. It's much higher than our LBXs, almost on pair with the Killer Droids."
Jin blinked his eyes at the way they zoomed between the enemies' rows and took them down seamlessly.
Jin: " those moves..."
" Fewh, thank god we're in time."
A male voice sounded. Everyone turned back to spot two kids, a blond boy with dark green eyes and a black and white haired girl with bloody red eyes. Both of them had some kind of goggles on . The boy's were blue secured by a rubber band while the girl's was more like dark crimson sunglasses.
" It's still not over yet."
She reminded the blond who merely shrugged.
" Hai Hai."
Both LBXs flew up high.
" Everyone! Focus on the LBXs! We will take care of the killer droids!"
The girl stated firmly.
Evangeline: " hold on! The Killer Droids!"
Ken: " all on your own!"
" Just do as she says."
The boy said cracking his fingers before taking some kind of a fighting pose. Jin narrowed his eyes in thoughts before whirling towards everyone else.
Jin: " alright, everyone! Focus on the LBXs!"
Jessica: " eh!"
Arata: " but!"
Elie: " do as he said!"
They were reluctant at first, but nevertheless obeyed the orders.
Aya: " Hanzou!"
Gouda: " already on it!"
Aya&Gouda: " Hissatsu Function!"
With their combined destructive moves, they started the series of attacks. Everyone else following after them with their finishing functions.
" Ryan!"
Ryan: " ah! Let's go! Astray! Hisstasu Function!"
" Attack Function!"
The words showed up in front of him on his glasses.
Ryan: " Meteor Impact!"
Ryan held his hands together in front of him and flung them to his sides. His LBX imitated him as it flew up in the sky, gathering energy within its body and then sweeping down at Baqto and Gafran, spreading its blade like wings and hitting both robots hardly.
" Jennifer!"
The Crimson LBX spoke up, much to everyone's surprise.
Jennifer: " go! Zeon! Hisstasu Function!"
" Attack Function!"
The girl thrusted one finger up as if pointing a gun at something. Her LBX did the same.
Jennifer: " Photon Beam!"
A concentrated beam of crimson energy was unleashed from the LBX's large canon, piecing through two Gafrans and a Baqto, destroying them instantly.
All of the five killer droids were wiped off immediately.
Kazu: " am... Amazing!... I didn't really think they would do it!"
Ami: " what a power!"
Ryan: " easy."
He dusted his hands gleefully.
Jennifer: " not quite yet. We need to help them with the LBXs."
Ryan: " I know. Astray!"
Astray: " already ahead of you!"
He and Zeon flew to the other's aid...
