The following morning, after a brief rest and Akira's recovery from their intense encounter, the duo prepared for the next stage of their plan:

infiltrating the Argus Military Base. Their objective was clear—acquire vital data for the CCT Ark Tower, amass a fleet of hacked AK-200 units, and create new Trilobite Magia before heading to Atlas.

[ Inside the Manta ]

Amethyst stood at the helm of the Manta, her arms crossed as she observed the holographic map of Argus Military Base projected on the console.

Akira, still looking slightly groggy, approached with a steaming cup of coffee in hand.

Amethyst: "Alright, boss. I've mapped out the approach. We'll land on Island A2—it's the storage and landing pad.

Akira: "And I'll head to the main server hub on Island A1. We need all the schematics, access codes, and AI protocols they've got."

He took a sip of his coffee, his eyes scanning the map.

Amethyst: "Don't forget about the shopping spree." She smirked, gesturing to the cargo bay behind them.

"We'll need as many of those AK-200s as we can carry—and then some. I'll get creative with the new toys."

Akira: "Just make sure we don't overstay our welcome. If Atlas catches wind of this, we'll have Colossus units raining down on us before we even make it to Atlas."

Amethyst: "Relax. I've got this."

Akira handed her a new Zetsumeriser and the newly created Onycho Zetsumerisekey, both gleaming ominously under the cabin light.

Akira: "Here. You'll need these. Once you've secured the first AK-200, use the Onycho key to make it yours."

Amethyst: "Got it. And you? What's your side of of th plan?"

Akira: "Standard infiltration. I'll tap into the server room, download everything useful, and sabotage their communications. Hopefully, we're out before anyone knows we're there."

Amethyst: "Hopefully." She grinned mischievously. "Let's make some noise, shall we?"

[ Island A2 - Storage Area ]

Amethyst moved through the towering rows of storage crates and inactive AK-200 units with calculated ease.

The dim lighting cast long shadows over the cold, metallic surroundings.

She spotted a pristine AK-200 unit, its sleek white armor reflecting the faint light.

Amethyst: "Perfect. Let's wake you up, shall we?"

She approached the unit, holding up the Zetsumeriser and attaching it to the android's waist.

The device latched on with a mechanical clink, red tendrils spreading across the surface as it began to override the unit's systems.

The AK-200 twitched, its blue visor dimming before reigniting in a menacing crimson hue. Amethyst slid the Onycho Zetsumerisekey into the device.

Onycho Zetsumerisekey: [ Onycho ! ]

Zetsumeriser: [ Zetsumerise ! ]

The transformation was instantaneous. Tendrils of black and purple energy enveloped the android, reshaping its form into the Onycho Magia.

The bat-like wings extended with a metallic screech, and its sharp claws glinted dangerously under the overhead lights.

Onycho Magia: "Awaiting orders."

Amethyst: "Good. Let's make more friends."

The Onycho Magia turned, extending its tendrils toward nearby AK-200 units.

One by one, the androids were corrupted, their pristine white frames giving way to the dark, jagged forms of Trilobite Magia.

The storage area began to hum with the activation of more units, their glowing red visors lighting up the shadows before being turned into "Trilobite Magia"

Amethyst: "Eight should do for now. Onycho, keep them in line."

The Onycho Magia nodded, its claws flexing as it ordered the newly created Trilobite Magia to fall into formation.

[ Island A1 - Server Hub ]

Meanwhile, Akira crept through the base's main facility, avoiding patrols with practiced precision.

He reached the server room, a heavily fortified area guarded by two AK-200 units. He pulled out a small EMP device, tossing it into their midst.

AK-200 Guards: "Intruder detec—"

The EMP detonated, sending a wave of electricity through the androids and disabling them.

Akira slipped inside, plugging his Terminal into the main server.

Lines of code flooded the screen as he began downloading schematics, weapon blueprints, and protocols, and data of all types.

Akira: "Come on, come on..."

The progress bar inched forward, the tension palpable as distant footsteps echoed down the corridor.

Amethyst (via comms): "Hey, boss. Got the toys. How's it going on your end?"

Akira: "Almost done. Just keep those units ready—we might need a quick extraction."

[ Back with Amethyst ]

Amethyst stood at the head of her newly formed army, the Onycho Magia flanking her with its wings partially spread.

She tapped her comms device on her ear-pieces, grinning.

Amethyst: "Extraction's ready whenever you are. Don't take too long, though—I'd hate to have all the fun without you."

The Trilobite Magia stood silently, awaiting her command, as the sound of distant alarms began to blare. Amethyst's grin widened.

Amethyst: "Looks like they've noticed us. Time to make some noise." ( Takes out the Attache Shotgun )

[ Small Time shifting to Akira ]

[ Island A1 - Server Hub ]

Akira worked furiously at the terminal, his hands moving like a blur as he monitored the progress bar nearing completion.

The distant alarms were now a cacophony of blaring sirens and boots rushing in his direction.

Akira: "Just a little more... come on."

Suddenly, his Terminal flashed green.

Terminal: [ Download complete. ]

Akira detached the device and stashed it into his bag.

Just as he turned, the server room door slid open to reveal a squad of heavily armed soldiers.

Soldier: "Freeze! Hands where we can see them!"

Akira smirked, slowly reaching for the Forceriser in his coat.

Akira: "Sorry, boys. I'm not in the mood to chat."

He held the Forceriser over his belt area. The device sprang to life, attaching itself to his waist and sending a surge of red electricity coursing through his body.

Forceriser: [ Forceriser ! ]

Akira grimaced, clenching his fists as he endured the agonizing activation. He then pulled out the Sting Scorpion Progrisekey, clicking the Rise Starter on its side.

Sting Scorpion Progrisekey: [ Poison ! ]

Sliding the Progrisekey into the Rise Vice, Akira initiated the transformation.

The Forceriser emitted a loud, industrial siren mixed with a rhythmic drumbeat, filling the room with a menacing atmosphere.

Akira: "Henshin."

With a firm pull of the Force Executor, the Progrisekey snapped open.

Forceriser: [ Forcerise ! ]

The colorless scorpion materialized, wrapping around Akira as its stinger pierced him.

Forceriser: [ Sting Scorpion ! ]

Armor pieces spun into place, attaching themselves to the undersuit via Restraint Cables.

The transformation completed with a mechanical hiss, and Akira now stood clad in the sleek, battle-ready Sting Scorpion armor.

Forceriser: [ Breakdown ]

The soldiers hesitated for a moment, their weapons trained on him.

Soldier (nervously): "Open fire!"

The bullets ricocheted harmlessly off Akira's Acid Analyze, which he used to to deflect the bulles.

With a swift movement, the Acid Analyze extended, wrapping around one soldier and flinging him against the wall.

Akira: "You should've stayed down."

He surged forward, dismantling the squad with precision.

One soldier's rifle jammed as Akira blocked the attack and wrapped him in the Acid Analyze, slamming him unconscious against the server racks.

Akira (activating his comms): "Amethyst, extraction's a go. Where are you?"

[ Island A2 - Storage Area ]

Amethyst chuckled as she finished blasting a soldier with her Attache Shotgun, the last soldier crumpling to the floor.

Amethyst ( Putting her hand on her Ear-pieces ): "Right outside your building. Window exit sound good?"

Akira glanced at the thick reinforced glass behind him, now cracked from the previous fight.

Akira: "Fine. Keep it steady."

He sprinted toward the window, crashing through it and landing in a controlled roll onto the waiting Manta.

The craft's engines roared as it began ascending, alarms and gunfire trailing behind them.

Inside the cockpit, Amethyst grinned as Akira collapsed into the co-pilot's seat, his armor retracting with a hiss.

Amethyst: "Nice landing. I rate it... seven out of ten. Little messy on the roll."

Akira (catching his breath): "Just get us out of here."

[ Above Argus Harbor ]

As the Manta veered toward the coastline, Amethyst brought up a live feed of Island A1 on the console.

Amethyst: "Oh, you're gonna love this. Look what's coming out to play."

Akira leaned forward, his eyes narrowing as he spotted the massive Colossus unit emerging from its hanger.

Akira (grimly): "They're deploying that thing? We should create one later on."

Amethyst (smirking): "Later sounds good. Right now, let's lay low and regroup. We've got what we came for."

The Manta disappeared into the clouds, heading toward the waterfall near the Argus CTT Relay Tower.

[ Waterfallflying around the area ]

The Manta flew in low, its engines humming softly to avoid detection.

Akira and Amethyst peered out at the lush scenery below.

The sound of cascading water echoed around them, but something unusual caught their attention—a stone bridge spanning the misty chasm.

On it, three figures clashed in a desperate battle.

Akira leaned forward, his eyes narrowing. "What's going on down there?"

Amethyst's visor flickered as she activated her scanners.

Amethyst: "Let's find out."

The console in front of her lit up, displaying real-time data feeds.

Amethyst: "Visual, audio, combat analysis… uploading now."

The scene below became clearer. They could see a dark-haired Faunus with feline ears—Blake Belladonna—facing off against a man with a scarred face—Adam Taurus.

The combat was brutal, and a third figure, a blonde with a mechanical arm—Yang Xiao Long—arrived in the middle of the fray, her motorcycle spectacularly slamming into Adam.

Amethyst raised an eyebrow, smirking. "We should've brought popcorn."

Akira crossed his arms, frowning as he studied the situation. "They do look familiar… well, at least she does." He gestured toward Yang.

Amethyst nodded. "Yang Xiao Long and Blake Belladonna. Team RWBY alumni. And Adam Taurus. Big-shot of the White Fang until he went solo.

Guy's got a serious vendetta as well being the angriest bull in Remnant that destroyed our first Magias

They watched as Adam and Blake exchanged heated dialogue, his Semblance-powered attacks wreaking havoc on the bridge.

Blake's broken sword lay discarded, and Adam loomed over her, only to be met by Yang's defiance.

The blonde's prosthetic trembled slightly, but her eyes burned with determination as she stood beside Blake.

Blake's voice carried up to the Manta. "We're protecting each other."

Akira's brows furrowed as he observed their bond.

Akira: "They're fighting together… but they're outmatched. That guy's Semblance is too strong."

Amethyst analyzed Adam's energy levels, her screen buzzing with red alerts.

Amethyst: "Yeah, he's soaking up their attacks like a sponge. But look at Yang's prosthetic—minimal damage. She's holding her own."

Adam roared and unleashed another devastating attack with his Semblance, the explosion shaking the bridge.

Smoke and debris obscured the combatants, but when it cleared, Yang still stood firm, her left arm raised in defiance.

Amethyst let out a low whistle. "Girl's got guts. But I'm telling you, Akira—if they don't finish this fast, Adam's gonna take them both out."

Akira clenched his fists, considering their options. "Do we intervene?"

Amethyst shrugged, keeping her tone light. "Your call, boss. But if we jump in now, we blow our cover. Everyone on this are will know we're here."

Below, Yang and Blake clasped hands, their resolve unshaken as they stared down Adam together. He snarled, his grip tightening on Wilt.

Akira watched the scene closely, his mind racing.

Akira: "They're not backing down. But Adam… he's too dangerous to leave unchecked."

Amethyst smirked, flicking a switch on the console.

Amethyst: "If you wanna go down there, I'm all in. Just say the word."

Akira: Maybe let's see how things play out.

Akira ( Thinking ): So Yang are you going to kill Adam and if you do it would be the definition of hypocrisy since I killed "Raven" ? since 100% no 1000% sure you will
