"No one can change a person's heart, not even the gods."
One night in Steinban town….
Operation Zero, a mission carried out by the XAG military to freeze the activities of the opposing organization, namely SIN. It is known that several defectors have collaborated using data stolen from XAG for the purpose of forcibly taking over the ancient warriors in order to use them as experimental material for human revolution. One of the defectors who was the biggest target was Kanna Meguma. The former second leader of the Elite Team, and also a natural genius. Previously she was known as a defender of truth, highly upholds justice and is talented in all fields, especially in planning war tactics. But all that changed since their leader, Hiroaki Kamiya, died in the war between the Chaosits and humans on the Hiltonia front several years ago. Even though the war was won by humans, she received a heavy blow because the tactics she created failed to be implemented and claimed the leader's life.
She was labeled a deserter because he left XAG without notification, as did her family. leaving everything without a trace and taking important data stored by XAG. According to the intelligence obtained, she was most recently involved in an experiment to create a biological weapon called the Tyrant by SIN, and deliberately released the creature in the middle of the city, although in the end it was mysteriously foiled. After XAG sent the Elite Team several times to freeze the SIN organization in several places, they finally found the location where Kanna was and carried out this mission to arrest and prosecute the defector.

1 KM near the SIN headquarters building in Steinban, A helicopter landed in the middle of the forest, and down came a woman wearing a yellow tactical suit with blue gradients with a cloak behind her and wearing a helmet that covered her face.
"Supernova to HQ. I've arrived at the landing point. 1 KM near the SIN headquarters building." the woman called herself Supernova, and a reply was heard from the other end,
"Accepted, Startrace is here! According to the information obtained, Kanna Meguma is on the 57th floor, which is the highest floor of the building. "Most likely our communication will be disrupted after reaching the 20th floor," Startrace answered the woman.
"I will temporarily shut down our communications network. I think they will detect our presence, Starfall and I will continue the mission as planned. Startrace please observe us from the surveillance satellite." the woman ordered Startrace.
"Understood. Miss Vanny... good luck." Communication was suddenly cut off. it is known that the woman is Vanny, the first commander of the Elite Team.
A burly male figure wearing a red beret and equipped with a tactical suit came down from the helicopter,
"Preparations complete." The man told Vanny.
Vanny turned to face the man,
"Major Jack... Sorry I only brought you alone..." Vanny apologized to the man who was known as Major Jack and was known as a member of the Elite Team, Starfall.
"It's okay, this is a pretty tough mission. Bringing lots of people makes it difficult for me. I'll take out the guards, and take the people we've marked hostage. The rest of the time, you will go to the top floor to ambush Star- Kanna Meguma." The man paused for a moment to change the name in his words.
"That's right, the time limit is only 1 hour. Moreover, we must immediately evacuate the building." Vanny looked at her watch
"Will the Tyrants be in that building?" Major Jack asked Vanny
"Most likely there is a creature that is much more dangerous than that. Whatever it is, we can't face it while carrying hostages. Destroy it or run." Vanny orders Major Jack to focus his aim on the hostages.
"Understood. I will follow as soon as possible when my part is finished." Major Jack said with a smile.
"Understood. Operation Zero, begins!"
After starting the mission, Vanny ran towards the building together with Major Jack. jumped over the high fence that blocked their way. Like no ordinary human, Vanny can jump as high as a fence. even Major Jack can't. Approaching the entrance to the building, Major Jack swiftly slaughtered the guards outside the building. followed by Vanny entering the building and slaughtering the guards inside the building one by one, as if the two of them were moving like dancing in a ball room, without saying anything they moved in coordination.
Vanny then jumped high to the floor above, leaving Major Jack still taking care of the guards below. Vanny suddenly crashed into the roof of the floor, breaking through the roof and quickly reaching the top of first floor in
the building. accompanied by a golden electric light, her body seemed to be protected from the violent impact. Not long after, the armed guards shot at Vanny who had just landed on the floor, but Vanny quickly dodged the shots as if they were just random shots.
"Raiū (rain of lightning)" suddenly flashes of lightning fell like rain on the guards who were shooting at Vanny. They fell to death after being burned by the lightning.
She continued his journey to the 57th floor where Kanna Meguma might be. She quickly slaughtered the guards and left the people without resistance, directing them to go to the bottom floor to evacuate the building. When Vanny arrived on the 50th floor, it looked very quiet but very suspicious. Vanny felt the presence of more than 6 people who were probably guards. Without thinking, Vanny uses Raiū to defeat them. But it doesn't seem to have any effect at all. the air of his presence is still felt.
"So you guys are specially designed to compete with the XAG Elite Team? I'm impressed with your ability to withstand the attack just now, we really weren't playing around, Kanna..." Vanny was surprised because the attack didn't work at all on them.
Instantly the 6 people came out of hiding,
"Thanks to Master Kanna, we were able to withstand your attack, Vanny Takahashi. Even though your attack just now was an attack using the power of an Ancient Warrior." One of them said that, and revealed that Vanny had the abilities of an Ancient Warrior.
"So you really understand me, huh? Wow, wow... I didn't expect that I now have 6 fans. Do you want my autograph?" Vanny calmly taunts them.
They all fell silent, and instead took out their respective weapons,
"Ahaa... Looks like you guys want to dance with me. But sorry, I-" She stopped talking because the 6 of them attacked at the same time.
"You should ask that woman to dance more gently." Vanny dodged their attacks one by one very beautifully. without touching them at all she just avoided them.
"Sorry, it's a shame I don't have much time to serve you all. Let's just finish it this time." Vanny stopped moving and stretched out both hands to the side, suddenly his body glowed brightly and a ball of energy appeared above him followed by rumbling lightning.
"Raiū, Deva!" Vanny said that and immediately the ball split into hundreds of small balls with lightning strikes around it and began to rain down on the 6 people who were fighting Vanny. Hit them by giving them an electric shock effect that was much greater than before, and blasted them until they fell unconscious. A very powerful strength shown by Vanny, far different from anything that had happened before.
"If you die as a result of that, I'm sorry... it's your fault."
Vanny said that with a cynical look and started continuing her journey to the 57th floor. The closer you get to the floor, the more protection there is, past the automatic rifle shooting at Vanny, Power disruption which causes Vanny to be unable to use her powers. However, with her agility, Vanny very easily got through it all without getting hurt. In the end he arrived at the 57th floor. With many doors closed, making his search a little difficult. Vanny went through all the doors and couldn't find Kanna. Like playing hide and seek, Vanny looked for her opponent continuously until he reached the last door.
Slowly she opened the door and saw a dark room with someone in it. Slowly she slipped in and watched the person. When the person started walking towards the balcony of the room, Vanny swiftly took out her katana and attacked the person,
"Just move an inch, you will know what it feels like to be cut off by a katana." Vanny said that in a serious tone, with his katana at the person's neck.
"I didn't realize that the Elite Team commander himself was the one who ambushed me in this room, Vanny Takahshi. It seems like you are easily deceived by false information, right?" That person said jokingly.
"I know this is a trap, and I know what's inside my very cunning friend's head. There's no way he'll show his nose here." Vanny had casually figured out that this was all a trap.
"So what are you going to do? arrest me?" The person asked Vanny.
"But you will fight, right?" Vanny responded casually.
"You know damn right!" The person suddenly released a strange force that sent Vanny far into the room.
"This output, the Ancient Warrior..." Vanny muttered in surprise at what happened.
The person quickly kicked Vanny's right hand, knocking the katana out of Vanny's grasp.
"Hikari, I didn't expect you to participate in human trials. Forcing the power of an Ancient Warrior into your body is very dangerous!" Vanny revealed that the person's name was Hikari, he was a participant in human trials conducted by SIN.
Vanny landed on while looking at Hikari. Woman with short, light blue hair.
"You know, already 30% of the XAG military members have discovered the rottenness of that organization and are starting to defect, I am among all of them who are still there." Hikari explains the reality to Vanny.
"With the power that Miss Kanna gave me, I will complete my mission to kill you, Miss Vanny. Because you are the biggest obstacle to the Revolution that Miss Kanna is planning!" Hikari advanced towards Vanny at high speed, clashing attacks with Vanny who was a little surprised by Hikari's much stronger abilities.
"Revolution?" Vanny responded while continuing to fight Hikari,
"Yes, Human revolution to a higher level, surpassing the power of the Ancient Warrior and able to fight threats to itself. As I am now, I am the result of a revolution itself!" Hikari continues to strongly attack Vanny while explaining the revolution in question.
Suddenly a large gunshot was heard, followed by screams of pain. Hikari suddenly fell covered in blood. Vanny was very surprised and saw that the source of the shot came from a small drone flying outside the balcony of the room.
"Ouch... You talk too much. Even though I had high hopes for you, you know..." The voice from the drone sounded familiar to Vanny.
"Kanna... What are you doing?" Vanny looked at the drone with a very annoyed look.
"Cleaning up trash. Just like before... what we often do, Vanny." Kanna replied to Vanny.
Vanny was silent when he heard Kanna's words through the drone.
"By the way, how are you? After getting Volt's power, do you still use that medicine to extend your life?" Surprisingly, Kanna said that.
"As you can see, I'm in good health." Vanny replied to Kanna with a mocking smile, "What about you? It seems you haven't been killed by the results of your lab tests, Tyrant." Vanny replied again.
"They are my sweet pets. They are very tame and could not possibly hurt me, quite the opposite. I suggest you increase your guard towards your siblings, especially Asag-"
Suddenly a flash of lightning struck the drone,
"Don't ever mention my sister's name with your damn mouth." For an instant, Vanny's eyes glowed red. Showing her dangerous side.
"uhh, scary... You think that will stop me?" Kanna taunted Vanny.
Vanny prepares to shoot again,
"Vanny, we can't avoid the involvement of our younger siblings, I've tried. And you've also seen it yourself, right? Therefore in any way now, the Battle will continue. So, I will stick to my own way. while you... I'm looking forward to your fight with your own little brother. And one of you will come to me." Kanna said that as if she knew what would happen.
The lightning strike that hit the drone shattered it into pieces.
"You talk too much. But thank you. I look forward to our meeting. And let's end all this."
Vanny said that seriously. and started to calm herself down.
Vanny activated his communication network again,
"Vanny to Startrace, Mission has failed. Kanna Meguma is not here. One victim is dead, telecommunications unit, Hikari Ouji. Requesting paramedic pick up and immediately I will blow up this building." Vanny spoke through his communication device.
"This is Starfall, all targets have been evacuated." Starfall reported the situation.
"Orphenus to Vanny, leave the bodies. Blow up the building. Destroy everything." The voice of an old man orders Vanny to immediately blow up the building.
Vanny was surprised by the reply from XAG headquarters, the answer left her with no other choice to blow up the building. Like a raging storm, lightning strikes everywhere, the building exploded like a nuke. Makes the night sky look like day, and creates tall mushroom clouds.

3 hours later…
Vanny, who had returned to XAG headquarters, walked down the hall to her private room, but he met Lania who was waiting for her,
"Commander… You're back…" Lania welcomed Vanny's arrival warmly.
"Lania, are you feeling better?" Vanny responded to Lania.
"Starlight is ready to work again!" Lania answered while saluting Vanny.
"Thank goodness then, Lania. Can you prepare that?" Vanny asked Lania to prepare something.
"Of course, just wait in your room!" She walked towards the elevator.
With that, Vanny continued walking to her room. However, there was an oddity where the door was not locked when she tried to open the door. She went inside and heard the sound of beautiful music coming from the speakers. She closed the door tightly, and walked towards her desk,
"I don't ever remember giving you the access key to this room." Vanny said that to someone at her desk.
"Having a bad day? You seems not surprised." That person's voice was the same as the person who ordered Vanny to blow up the building some time ago.
"So you bothered to come here to visit your beloved granddaughter, Grandpa?" Vanny calls Orphenus her grandfather.
"I wish 'you two' were here, you remind me of Erisa and Bella. Everything will be easy if you work together. So when are you going to bring Asa-"
Vanny suddenly activated her battle suit with a flash of energy around her body, she pointed her Katana at Orphenus, interrupting his unfinished words,
"You need to remember that the only condition I want to work with you is not to involve my younger sibling in your obsession. And you should already be aware that my younger sibling chose a different path than you." Vanny said that with a cynical look.
"So you've met her, huh? even though I can help you return Asagi to normal. But you firmly refused it." Orphenus responded with a cold stare.
"I won't let your dirty hands touch Asagi." Vanny increased his strength until it shook the entire room, the lights started to flicker as if disturbed by Vanny's outburst.
"Even so, your other sister will find out sooner or later. I gave the book to him some time ago." Orphenus recalled when Takaya came to him.
"What-"
"Thank me later. When everything is revealed, you will do that." Orphenus stood up from the chair and walked out of the room,
"Save your life carefully and watch the anger of your younger siblings later." He left and closed the door.
Vanny fell, breathing so hard that he couldn't speak. Not long after that, Lania came carrying a suitcase with a drug symbol on it and was shocked to see that Vanny had fallen helpless on the floor. Panicking, Lania quickly opened the suitcase and took out a syringe filled with medicine, and injected it into Vanny's body. Slowly, Vanny's shortness of breath began to disappear and his face began to calm down. Vanny looked at Lania. On the other hand, Lania, without saying anything, started crying when she saw Vanny's condition.
