-(Leaving P.O.V)-
Seiya was in the middle of the smoke from the bombs but he couldn't see his companions "Seiya! Are you okay?!" His sister was communicating on the communicator because she couldn't find him.
The bluenette taps the communicator to respond "Yes, I barely have any bruises thanks to the shield but I'm fine! What about you and the others?"
"We're fine for the same reason, I'm with Mia and Hikaru but I don't see Nobita and Doraemon, the smoke is too thick!" Melia says over the communicator
"I'm going to find them, they must be around here!" The blue-haired boy ends the communication and walks a little to see shadows moving through the smoke, which gives a bad feeling to the boy who runs towards them, as he advanced the smoke was fading to meet the black airship from a few hours ago and a giant gate that led to a tunnel through which it was going to pass. "That is...!" Seiya sees how Katami was getting on the airship carrying Doraemon who was turned off, in addition to the Baron who was following her and carrying Nobita on his arm.
"Nobita, Doraemon!" The blue-haired man approaches with his gun, watching as the boy with the glasses, even though he is a little unconscious, stretches out his hand towards him and then passes out. Seiya manages to shoot the villain in the direction of the baron's helmet but he pulls out his katana, turning around while he blocks the beam with the blade "Let my friends go, you don't need them!"
"The robot poses a threat to my plans, likewise, I'll end up scrapping it when this is over. As for the child, I'm only taking back what belongs to me. My engine isn't to be used by the weak! Although unfortunately it's now inside him and the engine won't work without its vessel. But if the boy ends up cooperating with me, he will be an unbeatable weapon in my ranks. And if not, well, I'll take care of destroying my own invention if necessary as long as it isn't useful to those who aren't worthy of its power!"
The baron launches another bomb, in this case a small smoke bomb that makes Seiya lose sight of him, finally the complete smoke dissipates to see how the airship was already inside the tunnel while the hatch closed "I won't allow it!" The blue-haired boy kneels on one leg of a marathon runner. "Come on, legs, don't fail me, I must save my friends."
With a great impulse Seiya begins to run quickly, with his bionic legs he was able to enter the tunnel before the gate closed and with a great jump he managed to grab a beam that was protruding from the black airship while it was moving, a part The Special Forces had arrived and arrested the few soldiers who were trying to defend the place, Melia sees how her brother had done that and uses the communicator "Seiya! What are you doing?!"
"Melia, the Baron and his henchwoman left with the airships and his army through that tunnel, they will surely leave the city while the other half of the army will invade the city, he also took Nobita and Doraemon in that black airship, I'll go help them, you guys continue with the rest of the plan, I'll get them out of there!" The blue-haired boy said through the communicator as he held himself up and began to move in order to infiltrate the interior of the airship. "There is something strange he said that I would like you to find out, listen to me..."
While the brothers were talking, Mia looks around her "Where are 81, 807, and the robot cat? And why is half the group that was supposed to be here a while ago just arriving?!"
"Miss, sorry for assisting you until now, we have been able to catch a part of the soldiers, the rest escaped through different paths, we are tracking them. But something happened and that is why it is only us, the situation took an unexpected turn. Suchimu Corp was taken by Baron Kurai's soldiers." The trio is surprised to hear that, especially Melia.
"He said Suchimu Corp was taken?! Are they already acting?! And my dad?! Did they capture him?!" The black-haired girl asks in panic.
"Don't worry, an hour ago Mr. Hirano and Dr. Keta found out about it thanks to our spies and together with the employees who were supposed to work today, they used an escape route in the president's office and are on their way to here through the warehouse. Now we are trying to see what we can do to regain control of the factory. Luckily the soldiers haven't been able to enter the warehouse because of the security it has."
"Since you have been able to dismantle the explosives in this place as Miss Mia said a while ago on the communicator and the rest of the villains fled, we will be able to use this place as a temporary shelter with everything that will happen up there, surely those of Suchimu Corp. must be arriving along with the prisoners they released earlier in addition to the employees"
The pair of guys and the girl exhaled in relief. "Thank goodness, I would have had a panic attack if something happened to the doctor and the boss," says Hikaru. "Too bad, and we were going to use the warehouse as a temporary shelter for the prisoners rescued and now they will have to return here to hide. Everything got out of control in the end despite giving a counterattack, I think we underestimated the baron too much, I think they captured Suchimu Corp first so they could try to write us off, plus the The saboteurs' control system is there in Dr. Keta's laboratory." Mia just throws one of her guns on the ground in frustration because everything started to get even more complicated. The Special Forces group dedicated themselves to removing the deactivated bombs to avoid any misfortune on the orders of the redhead, in addition to providing sheets and first aid kits to the prisoners and refugees.
"H-hey!" Melia shouts nervously "My brother left using his bionic legs to get on the extra airship, I think that's the Baron's personal airship, he and the wrinkled old woman captured Nobita and Doraemon taking them there, Seiya went to rescue them!"
"WHAT?! Seiya and his friends are on the Baron's airship?!" It was the voice of Hirano Olivier who arrived along with Dr. Keta, the prisoners and the workers, Melia of course ran to hug her father, she had gone through the shock that he had been captured.
"Dad, thank goodness you're okay!" Melia can't help but cry, all this was too much pressure and pain, even for someone who prepared years ago "And yes! Seiya went to rescue Nobita and Doraemon! There is almost no time left, soon it will be zero hour and everything went wrong, and it will all be our fault!" Olivier sadly watches the girl scared of her as he strokes her head to calm her.
Dr. Keta smiles to calm the nerves "Calm down young lady, all isn't lost. You can still use saboteurs" Everyone observes how the doctor had another black suitcase, when he opened it, it had a buildable activation system made by the inventors of Suchimu Corp. "If you can put this together and program it Hikaru, everything will go smoothly like the original plan"
Hikaru and Mia just exhale tiredly "GOD! Doctor stop giving me those scares, we really have to stay away from Hanz because of these things. But, I'll do it" The intern takes the materials and begins to do his work "We have to go back to the I'll roll, I'll do it just before zero hour! I hope" says the young man with a little doubt due to nerves.
"We can still continue in the fight against that monster, with 81 to the rescue of 807 and the robot, 80 and I'll go up directly to the center of the city, that is where everything will be defined, the special forces must already be in their positions, we will have number disadvantages for the takeover of Suchimu Corp. But let's give that guy what he deserves!" Mia picks up the gun from her with energy, they could tell that she was already irritated by everything that was happening.
"I'll give you a vacation after this Mia, it will be your reward for all this operation of years, as well as a raise, airships to the sea are a good option these days" Olivier smiles to which the mechanic girl only rolls her eyes but in the same way, she nods because she did feel that she needed a vacation.
"Dr. Keta, taking advantage of the fact that you are here and before going up, there is something I want to ask you. It's about the heart you gave to Nobita, the main reason why the Baron took him away." Dr. Keta is surprised by Melia's question partially but exhales.
"What is this Mechanical Engine and why does Baron Kurai say that you stole it?"
Mr. Hirano is also surprised and looks at the doctor "Doctor Keta. Do you know what Melia is talking about?"
"Dad, I thought you knew about that" The black-haired girl is surprised that her father didn't know about the Mechanical Engine since he was the president of the factory and the leader of the operation, her father just shakes his head.
"No honey, when my father left me in charge of the prosthetics, he didn't give me any more information than we have known until now" Olivier says confused and tired. "You know something about it, right? My father and you were colleagues when you were young, that's why you knew how to handle special prostheses better than anyone else."
Dr. Keta nods and the 3 young people are surprised "I know, there is something that Professor Hirano sensed when he worked with a former colleague of his with whom he worked on a project and that he told me to keep it a secret but... Since we are close to finishing this, it seems most appropriate to reveal this: The Mechanical Heart was previously known as the Mechanical Engine, I'll now tell you its origin in which Hikaru puts together the activation system."
On the outskirts of Sutirushiti, the area was arid and deserted, there were traces of rusty pieces and decomposed parts, the outside unlike inside the cities was a mix of a desert and the feeling of depending only on yourself if you were trapped in the arms of the outside. The experience of traveling abroad was so overwhelming in the arena, which is why airships and flying ships were vital if you wanted to get out to another city alive.
Exactly a few kilometers outside the protective walls, a giant gate opens in the sandy floor, from there the airships led by Baron Kurai's black airship begin to emerge. Inside it, Seiya had entered through a hatch outside the airship, the boy sneaks towards the main chamber, evading the soldiers who were there thanks to the agility of his mechanical legs.
"Surely they must have Nobita and Doraemon there, the guy is egocentric" The blue-haired man manages to enter the large control chamber where Nobita was before during phase 1, he manages to hide in a locker that was near the door and through the holes look at the panorama to see what was happening, immediately use the communicator in a low voice to avoid being heard "Melia, I'm already inside, I'm going to keep an eye on it to see when I act."
Seiya receives an "Ok, good luck" from his sister, but he feels something that he just noticed was also inside the locker. "No wonder it's hard for me to move here. What will be in this place?"
At that moment, a plump figure is seen with its eyes blank, which surprises the blue-haired man but at the same time scares him because he sees that it was with its lid open and some pieces were in pieces as well as some vital gears that were used to that would work.
"It can't be... Doraemon?"
