Shred Storm was used along with a few more atacks before the hologram reappeared. Using the Arrogant Fang EX Weapon proved to be a weakness of the computer. After this, the illusion dissipated. As the AI's second gauge was enacted, she threw a fireball in anger.
"These enemies really love those wind orbs huh?" Zeno retorted.
Again, the real menace was exposed. When the false reality returned, an array of golden beams was shot as more ice boulders fell. Another wind orb torrent with an attempted lightning attack couldn't stop the delusions dispersement. Finally, she had enough of these irksome intruders and used her "Instinct Code: Downpour". It began to rain, dampening everyones spirits as well as clothes. The rain made it harder to move. It also cut down visibility, therefore, there was a drastic reduction in defense. The face was replaced with malice, a metallic mask and red vengeful eyes. Lightning struck left to right, across the room three times. The red lightning presumed afterwards. The gold beams and ice boulders were no match for the teams combined might. After Gunvolt used a Grand Strizer, the lightning show ended as quickly as it started.
"Ahh... Finally... at long last... I can... rest... It's strange... You are... human... Yet... you feel empathy for...the Gravekeepers... correct?" Mother queried.
"Empathy is an emotion without limits. However, I limit who I feel empathy towards." Copen doubted.
As the computer was destroyed, everyone used the same teleportation method to reach the sanatorium.
"Phew, we can finally put our feet up without having to worry." Zeno cheered.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Copen denied.
"How come?" Gunvolt asked.
Everyone looked at the monitors. Gunvolt, Zeno and Moniqa were in shock.
"Aw, heck naw! T-this is just too much." Zeno ranted as he walked away to sit on the couch with Atari.
She began to tug on his right sleeve.
"Huh?" Somethin' wrong?' Zeno wondered.
"What are you all so worried about?" Atari worried.
"There's this old building that the Sumeragi used to have that got destroyed. Turns out they rebuilt it recently." Zeno elaborated.
"Are we going to explore it tonight?" Lola pondered.
Copen shook his head.
"It's best we all get a good nights rest first. I'll get the data to find te location, you can all go home in the meantime." Copen responded.
They all did just that. Joule was hysterical beyond belief to see unvolt, so was Lumen.
"We thought you died!" Joule cried.
"I"m sorry, I hope I wasn't gone for too long." Gunvolt apologized.
"It felt like forever!" Lumen added.
Atari was getting drowsy eating dinner.
"You wanna just go to bed?" Zeno queried.
"Sorry, I'll finish eating." Atari denied.
"You can't eat if you're tired, you can choke an' die." Zeno stated.
Atari soon fell asleep. Zeno picked up the leftovers five minutes after being deep in thought and fell asleep. While Atari was asleep, someone opened one of her bedroom windows and injected an anasthetic. The pain of the stab woke Atari up. She didn't fully understand the premise of the situation due to her being partially awake. She was entirely aware though for long enough to scream. Suddenly, it stopped as Zeno threw the door to the side. Only to find an empty room. In a panicked frenzy, Zeno called Gunvolt.
"You seriously have been only eating instant noodles since I've been gone?" Gunvolt questioned.
"I haven't been able to hone my cooking skills." Joule responded.
"This is insane." Gunvolt muttered.
His phone began ringing so he picked it up of the counter.
"Ay man, we got a huge problem." Zeno warned.
"How bad is it?" Gunvolt worried.
He poured himself a cup of coffee, knowing he was about to be in for a rough night.
"Lily got kidnapped again so, no surprise there. But what's really surprising is where they took her. Did you look at your watch?" Zeno added.
Gunvolt was confused when he looked at the screen on his desk.
"Isn't that the coordinates Copen told us the new S-FIT building was at?" Gunvolt rememered.
"That's what worries me. I'mma call him." Zeno commented as he ended the call.
Gunvolt put on his watch and uniform before going into the dining room.
"Is something wrong GV?" Joule questioned.
"We heard you talking with Zeno. Is everything alright?" Lumen noticed.
"Atari either got kidnapped or decided to go see what S-FIT was like. But considering how tired she seemed, Zeno bets she got taken." Gunvolt explained.
"I don't understand! We took down the Sumeragi, didn't we?" Joule thought.
"It seems we really should've gone after the top brass." Gunvolt supposed.
"Can we go find her?" Lumen begged.
"We don't have any other choice. My watch is how we're gonna track her down." Gunvolt reminded.
"I'll be asleep. but Lumen will go with you." Joule notified.
"We'd better meet up with Copen and Zeno." Gunvolt spoke as he left with Lumen.
The two soon met up with Cope and Zeno at the entrance to S-FIT. Everyone noticed Copen looking a little more grim than usual.
"I'm sorry about this boss." Lola apologized.
"There's o need for an apology Lola. All we need to concern ourselves with right now is geting Atari out." Copen denied.
That certainly wasn't going to be as easy as they thought. There was gunners, new giant robots with guns and anti-ballistic barriers.
"What's up with all this new fancy equipment?" Lumen asked.
"My best guess is either they're trying to keep something out or in." Copen replied.
As they went further in, Atari's coordinates showed that she was in the basement. After going down floor after seeimingly endless floor, the team finally found where Atari was. She was locked in a room no bigger than 11 by 17 feet.
