Just when all seemed lost, his battle suit finally came through.
"Hello, hello? Can you hear me?"
Ninth recognized that voice. It's not as annoying as it was in real life, but it was the same voice nonetheless.
"Carmine, is that you?"
"Thank the gods! Yes, it's me."
Ninth suddenly turned around and hit Atlan's chest, specifically the camera installed above his stomach.
"Hey! Be careful with that or I'll make you pay for the materials yourself!"
"What took you so long?! We've been dying out here!"
Ninth's outburst was completely understandable. She and her whole team spent the entire fight on the defense. They could do nothing but stand there and take the Canzers' attacks and lose a lot of SoulTime in the process.
She was the only one in her team still standing and it was all because of Carmine and his incompetence. He should have helped them by now and not let the situation get so bad.
