The following night brought an air of tension and ambition as Akira approached Island A2 of the Argus Military Base.
The distant hum of Manta airships reverberated through the cold night, the glow of industrial lights painting the harbor in shades of steel.
[ Night – Argus Military Base, Island A2 ]
The suspension bridge to Island A2 swayed gently under the night's breeze. Akira walked calmly, his coat billowing behind him.
The distant sound of waves lapping against the rocky supports below provided the perfect backdrop to his infiltration.
As he reached the gate to Island A2, he smirked and knelt near the storage entrance.
Pulling his Portable Terminal from his bag, he whispered to himself.
Akira: "Atlas tech… "state-of-the-art security", or so they claim. Let's see if this relic can still dance circles around their firewalls."
His fingers moved deftly over the keyboard, bypassing layers of encryption. Sparks illuminated his face as the locks hissed open.
Akira: "Old hardware wins again."
The storage bay creaked as it opened, revealing rows of dormant Atlesian Knight-200s standing in eerie silence like sentinels awaiting orders.
[ Inside the Storage Area ]
Akira moved stealthily through the dimly lit facility, his boots clicking softly against the metallic floor.
His eyes scanned the rows of androids until he spotted the AK-200 units he sought.
Akira: "There you are, my knights in shining armor."
He approached one of the Atlesian Knight-200s and pulled out the Zetsumeriser and Berotha Zetsumerisekey from his bag.
The crimson glow of the Zetsumeriser flickered ominously as he held it up.
Akira: "Time to wake up."
Attaching the Zetsumeriser to the AK-200's belt area, the device activated with a hiss, tendrils snaking across the android's chassis.
The visor of the android flickered, changing from its serene blue glow to an ominous red.
Zetsumeriser: "Zetsumeriser !"
Akira then activities the Berotha Zetsumerisekey before Inserting into to the Zetsumeriser,
Berotha Zetsumerisekey: [ Berotha ! ]
The transformation was violent. The AK-200 shuddered, its body twisting as the Zetsumeriser reconfigured its systems.
Sparks and metallic groans filled the air as the android morphed into the Berotha Magia.
The Berotha Magia stood tall, its sleek, insect-like armor glinting under the storage bay lights.
The Togamarder daggers materialized in its hands, their edges gleaming with dangerous precision.
The Magia turned its glowing visor towards Akira, awaiting orders. He smirked, pleased with the results.
Akira: "Good. Now, let's give you some company."
The Berotha Magia moved mechanically to lift another dormant AK-200 onto its back.
Akira, now in control, walked through the rows of androids, corrupting four more units with the usage of the tendrils of the Berotha Magia piercing each Robot
Each transformed into Trilobite Magia, their forms bulkier but no less menacing than their insectoid counterpart.
With a small battalion of Berotha Magia and Trilobite Magia, Akira made his way to the docks.
An Atlas Manta-class airship was secured nearby, its systems guarded by a moderate encryption barrier.
Akira: "Atlas really needs to stop using the same security protocols everywhere. Makes my job far too easy."
He hacked into the airship's systems, overriding its navigation and cloaking functions to ensure it would remain untraceable.
The Magia followed him aboard, the ship's engines humming to life.
As they ascended, Akira looked out over the military base below, a wicked grin on his face.
Akira: "And they said I am Monster."
[ Small time Skip ]
The stolen Manta descended near the Argus CCT Relay Tower, its lights dimmed to avoid detection.
Akira stepped out, his Magia forming a defensive perimeter.
Akira: "Guard the area. No interruptions."
The Berotha Magia stood motionless like a statue, its visor scanning the horizon for threats.
Meanwhile, the Trilobite Magia prowled the perimeter, their heavier frames rattling softly as they moved.
Inside the ship, Akira focused on modifying the AK-200 that the Berotha Magia had carried.
With tools and materials scavenged from the storage facility, he worked methodically, dismantling and enhancing its core systems.
Akira: "Atlas spent all this time perfecting these tin soldiers. A shame their vision was so limited. They designed weapons to follow orders, but me? I'm giving them a real purpose."
He installed a prototype Aura simulation core into the AK-200, a concept borrowed from the stolen Project P.E.N.N.Y. schematics.
The modified android twitched as its systems recalibrated.
Akira: "You'll be my first—a prototype of my new army. Not bound by just Aura, but capable of surpassing it."
The android's eyes flickered red, signaling the success of the modification.
Akira leaned back, wiping sweat from his brow as he admired his work.
Outside, the moonlight bathed the Argus CCT Relay Tower, highlighting the small battalion of Magia standing guard.
Akira stood at the ship's ramp, gazing up at the tower.
Akira: "This is just the beginning. Then again what happens when you give a man nothing to lose and everything to gain."
Akira stands up taking out the Spring Maiden Progrisekey and activities it
Spring Maiden Progrisekey: [ Spring Maiden's Ability ! ]
The night stretched on, the silence broken only by the faint hum of the tower and the sound of Akira's ambitions taking shape.
