When they reached the control room door, Kaito paused, his heart pounding in his chest. "This is it," he said, taking a deep breath. "We need to disable their communications."
Lyra nodded, her expression serious. "Let's do this."
Kaito pushed the door open, and they stepped inside. The room was filled with monitors and equipment, and Kaito could see the chaos unfolding in the city on the screens. Their allies were fighting against the guards, and the sound of alarms blared in the background.
"We need to shut this down," Kaito said, moving quickly to the main console. He began typing furiously, trying to access the system. "If we can disable their communications, it will create confusion and give our allies the upper hand."
As he worked, Lyra kept watch, her eyes scanning the room for any signs of danger. Kaito felt the pressure mounting as he tried to bypass the security protocols. He could hear footsteps approaching, and he knew they had to hurry.
"Come on, come on," he muttered under his breath, his fingers flying over the keyboard. Finally, he felt a rush of triumph as he accessed the main controls. "Got it!"
With a few quick commands, Kaito disabled the communications system. The alarms fell silent, and the monitors flickered off. "We did it!" he exclaimed, turning to Lyra.
But their victory was short-lived. The door burst open, and a group of guards rushed in, weapons drawn. "Freeze!" one of them shouted.
Kaito's heart raced as he grabbed Lyra's hand. "Run!" he shouted, and they dashed toward the back exit, adrenaline fueling their escape.
As they sprinted through the corridors, Kaito felt a surge of determination. They had come too far to be caught now. With Lyra by his side, he knew they could overcome any obstacle.
