The traces of the clouds can still be seen at the bright orange sky, it is around 6 pm and the people inside of the base are still pondering about what's happening. The lights were flickering and it's getting hotter than the usual, beads of sweat are pouring from the crowds' forehead.
The base is purely made of metal scrap that came from the destroyed vehicles and robots that the Vitalis City randomly dump in that place. Thanks to the person who founded the Revolutionary Army, the place looks decent compared to the typical Wasteland Bases that you could see in the movies.
After the electricity went out, luckily Tomasso managed to reached the basement wherein he turned the generator on, that could keep few of the lights on for now. The other teams tried to look for the admins especially Adam, while the admins started investigating on what's going on. Tamsen, the leader of the Team TRK managed to reach the elevator, there she saw Vashiq laying inside. She entered in the elevator without worrying what might happened to Vashiq, after reaching the floor located at the very top of the Base, Tamsen went out and heard some people fighting infront of the control room.
"Wait!"
Tamsen turns around and her grey colored eyes gazed at Vashiq who is currently standing up, the young man stepped out of the elevator while biting his lower lip. "I'll come with you.. the others just went there minutes ago." he stated while scratching his nape.
"I see.. aren't you Vashiq of Team VVN?" Tamsen asked while looking at the young man.
"Yes, yes I am.." Vashiq replied with a smile that could make a lady's heart throb quickly, yet this didn't worked on Tamsen. She is too absorbed on stopping the person who reached the control room before them, on the top of that, she is fond of long haired and feminine looking guys. The latter only rushed away from him, "H-hey! Wait for mee!!" he followed Tamsen from behind. He was captivated by her bravery and loyalty, he also likes her fair skin complexion and silky periwinkle colored hair.
Rosa was knocked back at the wall for spacing out again, Vittorio rushed and helped her out. "Can you stand up??" he asked worriedly, "The robots.. do they have this kind of sensor that can detect if they're still functioning or not..?" Rosa asked while looking down. "I don't know but.. Nana did mention something before about these sensors." Vittorio hits a robot using the pipe he grabbed elsewhere. "Despite that we have defeated many of them, the problem is that they kept on adding up everytime we defeat one robot.. So it's possible that there is a sensor hidden in these things." Rosa stood up before stretching her arms up.
"Rosa's still as sharp as ever..." Marco muttered while holding off a robot, "Let's just trap these things then if that's the case!" he yelled at Rosa and Vittorio.
"But how?!" Vittorio yelled back while fighting off a robot.
"Just follow Rosa's orders, she'll eventually think of something.." Marco replied while grinning proudly.
"You know what? Let's just destroy all of them!" Flavio yelled in frustration while gritting his teeth before dodging from an attack.
"Don't!" Tamsen shouted as she and Vashiq arrived at the scene, "I have a remote that could shut them down for the meantime.." she grabbed something from her jacket's pocket, it was revealed that it's a remote designed for controlling these robots.
"Good grief..." Flavio deadpanned as the robots started shutting down, "Well, atleast it's over, we can now proceed in the control room.." Rosa smiled at Tamsen, the latter responded by raising her thumbs up. They rushed towards the control room and entered immediately. Much to their surprise they found Nana, and Wilhevit laying on the ground, defeated while Dante and Mister remained standing. They were surprised that the one who managed to get in here is only a little girl, unfortunately, these three combatants has been pointing their weapons at each other. Hostilla is currently pointing her sword at Dante while Mister D is pointing his gun at Hostilla.
"Oh dear.. I guess I am outnumbered.." Hostilla heaved a sigh as she let go of her sword, she then raised both of her arms in mid air, "I give up.." she muttered dryly.
Tamsen walked towards them while grabbing a pair of shackles from her side bag, she was about to restrain Hostilla but Dante pulled her down and took the attack from the little girl, stabbing him using her sword that was believed to be Rosamaria's weapon.
"How foolish... I wonder how could the administration would be in favor of you being the next leader of the army..." Hostilla smiled unnervingly, the way she smile reminds them of how Rosa smiles. Marco and Rosa proceeded to step forward while cracking their knuckles, intimidating the young Hostilla who had just pulled her sword from Dante's flesh. Luckily Tamsen caught their comrade before he could hit the ground.
"Say, Marco.. It's been like months since we tag teamed on fighting.." Rosa smiles unnervingly before grabbing a metal rod from the ground.
"I must say, I've been longing to fight with you, Delta." Marco grinned as he prepared his fighting stance.
"We will join!" Vittorio was about to step in yet a bunch of machine gun appeared at the ceiling, "I won't let you peasants ruin our fun." Hostilla gives them a death glare.
"Cover for me, Marco.." the pressure that Rosa gave to her stance made Marco noticed something different from her.
"I always got your back.." he whispered before charging towards Hostilla, "Shinigai Style: Core Piercer!" he lowers his body before aiming at Hostilla's chest, but the latter jumped back, dodging the attack on the process. Rosa appears in mid air after jumping using Marco's back, attempting on hitting Hostilla's left shoulder yet she only landed a scratch. He proceeded on kicking the girl's ankle, while she used the chance to strike her neck; Hostilla on the other hand jumped before grabbing Rosa's weapon and swaying her away from the battlefield. Her enormous amount of strength amazed Rosa, thinking that she is a somewhat a super human, in reality she is indeed a one.
Rosa then slipped something from her sleeves and surprised both Marco and Hostilla; she swings the yo-yo towards her opponent's neck before she could land on the wall. Hostilla lost her balance and Marco restrained her from moving.
"Did she just used a yo-yo?!" Flavio yelled.
"Uhh..yeah, she did.. but, does she always have that yo-yo in her sleeve?" Vittorio asked.
"I don't know either.." Vashiq sighed in relief.
"Let me go you old man!" Hostilla yells while struggling.
"I'm still 21 you buffoon." Marco deadpanned while putting ropes around the young girl.
"Now, where is the remote..?" Rosa gets up while wiping the blood flowing on her head.
"Why would I tell you—"
"Shut your mouth shrimpy." Marco put a towel on Hostilla's mouth before she could speak.
"I believe she threw it somewhere before you guys fought.." Nana looks around.
"You guys find the remote, let's do something for Dante atleast." Mister D stepped forward while carrying his young self, "Mister D and Flavio will proceed to the Infirmary; Team VVN will report to the admins; me and Marco will go with VVN to show this culprit over here while; Wilhevit and Tamsen will look for the remote." Rosa ordered while panting.
"Rosa, you should go with Dante.." Marco suggested while giving her a serious expression.
"Nah, I'm fine, it's just a scratch." Rosa laughed it out before pulling Hostilla away. Mister D and Flavio rushed Dante to the Infirmary, Tamsen and Wilhevit can be seen pouting while finding the remote. Team VVN, Marco and Rosa stays in the area; waiting for the admins to arrive at the scene.
Harriet and the other admins soon arrived at the scene, Nana and Tamsen had explained what happened, on the other hand Wilhevit found the remote. Rosa sighs in relief after reuniting with her beloved sword, she's been hugging her weapon ever since she had laid a finger on it. Marco seems to be in a deep thought, after noticing Rosa's fighting stance and the yo-yo she used. He brushes an idea which is too impossible to begin with.
Salvatore went out of the Infirmary to check what is happening outside, yet he saw Dante on the stretcher instead. After walking around, he found Mister D and Flavio sitting on a metal bench outside the emergency room with a gloomy look on their faces. He wondered what happened to Dante so he approached them immediately.
"What happened..?" he asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Well, accidents happen a lot!" Flavio sighed as he answered, Mister D hit him using his elbow.
"Someone invaded the control room, good thing we stopped her from invading the whole place. Turns out she's just finding a time traveller." Mister D explained to him.
"Isn't that time traveller is you...?" Salvatore whispered and Mister D nodded as a form of response. "I'll just wait for Delta's order then..." Salvatore muttered before walking away from the two.
Rosa and Marco made their way to the Infirmary, the nurses had treated their wounds and injuries. The two stayed inside of the emergency room for while, sitting on the bed and taking their rest. Rosa looked at Marco with a gaze of a disappointment yet the latter looked away. She sighed as she grabbed his jawline and forcefully turned his face infront of hers.
"When did you learnt that style..?" she asked with a tone of anger.
It is unusual to Rosa to be seen expressing her anger this way, she mostly smiles and hit people but this situation made her express her frustration.
"Then when did you got that yo-yo?" Marco countered with a serious look.
These two can be seen smiling creepily or unnervingly when mad, but the situation got serious for them. Too serious that made the two express what they're feeling. It was very weird for the two that they have broke out of their shells.
Rosa let out a sigh, trying to control herself from her impulse. She then smiled before asking, "Why won't you answer my question first?"
"I learnt it right after I faked my death. Mr. Fuuniku and his daughter trained me under Alpha's order." Marco answered.
"What is the name of his daughter..?" Rosa asked while looking down.
"Hanatsuki Shinigai.." Marco answered as he looked away.
"I see..." Rosa stood up as she walked away, yet she paused at the moment, "I bought the yo-yo.. that's all." she muttered before leaving the room.
Tomasso wanders around the facility, hoping to find his little sister. He had asked his sister's teammates yet they have no idea where did she went by the time of the invasion.
"Tamsen! Are you okay?!" Tomasso hugged his sister after seeing her in the middle of the hallway.
"Jeez brother... Im fine." Tamsen pushes her brother away.
"Good thing you weren't injured or something." Tomasso sighed in relief.
"I can handle myself Tom, you are not mom." Tamsen crossed her arms while pouting.
"Still, it would be lonely if you also disappeared.." Tomasso dramatically teared up.
"You disappeared for like a year cause you wanna see what's the situation outside the Wasteland. Did I even cried?" Tamsen deadpanned.
"But I knew you felt lonely.. You can't even cook nor wash your clothes cause I do all of the housework." Tomasso pointed out.
"Jeez..." Tamsen sighed.
Meanwhile, Dante woke up from being unconscious after Hostilla stabbed him. He saw Wilhevit leaning on the bed while sleeping, Mister D is also sleeping on the couch while Flavio has been eating his food.
"Oh.. you're awake!" Flavio exclaimed with glee.
"What happened right after I lost my consciousness?" Dante asked while yawning.
"Brethren! You should've witnessed Rosa and Marco teaming up to defeat Hostilla! Rosa used a frickin yo-yo!" Flavio stood up while telling the events filled with enthusiasm.
"I missed the opportunity to witness that.." Dante sighed as he looks down. "Oh wait.. was the girl okay?" he asked.
"Who's girl?" Flavio asked back.
"The one I saved..? I believe that her name was Tamsen..?" Dante answered, unsure about the information he stated.
"Oh, she's fine.. that girl is tough so she's alright." Flavio answered, "Also, I'm proud of you brethren for applying my teachings about simping.." he added as he smiled widely.
"I just did what's right.." Dante sighed in relief.
