Chapter 3 - "Gravity Legion"

Two hooded person trembling while running in a dark alley. One of them stripped, falling face-first in a puddle. Pleading to their leader to save him.

‎"shit, how is the situation lead to this, I still need to report to the higher-". He, out of breath, continued to run before stumbling backward. Footssteps approached.

‎Kirara upon arriving at home that night, sigh heavily upon noticing Yuza cooking.

‎"You better explain what's going on!"

‎Yuza in a lost ask what's she's talking about

‎" You left me alone in university without saying anything!"

‎" oh... That?, I think I forgot the stove are still on so rushed back home, jumping to building roofs."

‎Yuza explained in a calm tone

‎The next morning, several police are investigating the building and the alley where dead person can be seen. 12 lifeless individuals lies before the officers. Kirara on her way to the convenience store passed through the area while driving.

‎"What's going on, why so many people died?"

‎Four hooded figures discussing. Three are raging with fury while the other one silent.

‎"Damn it. Our spies are gone." ¹

‎"How can we know what's going on with his child" ³

‎" We haven't had any clue on what that being is doing now! We have to deploy another spy!!"²

‎" I'm sure sending more spy can be a lost for us, some unknown variable are hindering out operation"⁴

‎In the news, they introduced a new rising company called Gravity legion, a company like Heinrich, making ai tools most of them are for military.

‎ "this is..." Kirara watching the news, trembling.

‎ Yuza, hearing Kirara, glanced at the television and noticed the emblem the company used. "that building is our new target."

‎Kirara brush it off saying they must be another competitor, taking advantage of the downfall of Verdaint Altier, Heinrich's company. Yuza argued about the logo being the same as her father's old sworn enemy. After a while Kirara gave up and agreed to Yuza's plan.

‎At night after arriving at the production site of the GL(gravity legion), only a dim light illuminating the inside, best for infiltration.

‎ Passing through guards, without being noticed. Navigating through sets of machinery. Only the product of the company can be found.

‎" what's all this. Im sure this is them. Why is this so normal" Yuza whispers while Kirara navigated using the proxy body.

‎They ventured for a for while and still found no clue.

‎Suddenly, a guard notice them. They hurriedly escaped with nothing to obtain.

‎" Are you sure it's them? Surely they only get the same logo accidentally. Luckily we wear mask and escaped fast"

Kirara ask her.

‎ Yuza thinking deeply, they only saw a normal production site, she didn't detect any hidden rooms either or maybe they just hiding in the main company building.

‎The next night, Yuza have been preparing for infiltrating the company. Kirara tried her best to stop Yuza from risking her life on her nonsense hypothesis.

‎"you're not coming with me? If no I'll go my self"

‎"You can't go!"

‎" What if someting happens to you. Then I will be alone again!"

‎Yuza defeated unpacked her tools explaining that if she found any more lead pointing to the same company, she'll surely infiltrate the building

‎"subject 37 failed!"

‎"maximize the power output, establish more materials, we can't fail now that we have him."

‎Distorted bodies being processed and destroyed to use a nurturing material for the new subjects. In a row of capsules containing bodies like Heinrich's creation.

‎In one of the capsule, bubbling with water, floated young girl- the only one who has her crystal inside her body, the only sample with a purified crystal with a different instructions unlike the others yet no one knows.

‎"We had exhausted all possible resource we can get, do we have to stop with 7 samples?" ³

‎" There's actually 8 samples, one of them are near death, her crystal wast exposed but we can't lose more." ¹

‎"As long as she's alive well keep her."¹

‎" We can't decide yet, number four are absent yet again."²

‎Eyes gleaming, hooded person emerge above the cliff.

‎"sigh- gravity legion? company? What a nice cover. You won't live for long anyways, I'll just give you a little more time of enjoyment."

‎"Another anomaly on the sky, it's getting stronger overtime. I Wonder if his creations can challenge this incoming danger."

‎He sighed and leaves a smirk before jumping down the cliff.
