Chapter 20

"alpha one, we are now in position."

"bravo one here, roger that. We just got here."

"charlie one here, stay with the plan ya all."

"roger that." both alpha and bravo said

Where alpha one team was currently hiding in the bushes in the middle of the night, bravo one team just arrived by water at the southern part, and while charlie one team was waiting at the small boat at a distance.

"alright, mission start." charlie one said to the team, as a signal for the beginning of the mission

Meanwhile, back with leo and the others..

"if you would look at the facility, it really does research for many advanced technologies. Such as flying gliders, metal suits, and more." ken said as they walk

They were now walking through all of the experimemtal stuff in the facility.

"although all of them are still experimental, since we have yet to integrate an independent power source." hikari said

"i see. And where are we headed now?" leo said

"miss, please no touching." hikari said, before euby was about to touch the powered suit

"aww.. And i even think its kinda cool." ruby said, disappointed a bit, before going back to her mom

"anyways, we are now headed towards the deepest part of the facility, where the dark energy generator is being kept." ken said

"but why is your research being kept in the lowest part?" ruby said to flower, which flower was keeping her close

"it just goes to show how important our research is ruby." flower said

"yes miss, its so important, that it may even change the world!" ken said

"after 50 years of advanced research." hikari said, teary eyed

"in the past, it was known that dark energy may be an illusion, until the aliens came and showed us that it exists, and that it can be so powerful." leo said

"anyways, we are here." ivan said, as they now arrived at a big electronic door.

"hikari, if you please." ken said, as he commanded her to open the door

"yes sir." hikari said, before going to the security panel

With a retinal scan, thumb print, and ID card scan, they were able to open the door and enter.

"just when are we gonna get there?" ruby said. "my feet is killing me." she added, because they were still on their slippers

"just a little further i think." leo said

"yes, a little more further. Because we are all walking along the passageway, in one of the very thick walls." ivan said, before arriving at a 2 way passage

"we should go right here, to the control room." ken said, as they all agree, before going to the right side of the passage

Now at the control room, where there are also many people working..

"wow! Now this is a secret control room!" ruby said, now excited

They were now at the observation room, right above the control room, where generals and VIPs usually sit.

"glad you like it ruby." flower said

"so? When will the show start general?" ruby said to ken, who was busy giving orders to those at the control room

"soon maybe." hikari said as she smiles to ruby, as she seats in front of them

"say, how old are you miss?" ruby said to hikari, out of curiosity

"hey ruby, its rude to ask her that!" flower said

"but im just curious, thats all. Since shes still cute and all." ruby said

"no worries at all. Im currently 24, and unfortunately single." hikari said

"so you havent had any opportunity here?" ruby said

"maybe, since if im still single until i hit my 30s, then i will stay that way." hikari said

"oh.." ruby said, shutting up

"say, colonel, isnt this an old facility?" leo said

"yes, its old. Thats why, as per the general, they renovated it." hikari said

"i see. Because its still the same as before, as memory calls. Still an undergroubd facility for advanced research and tech." leo said

"oh? So you have noticed it." ken said, after coming back from ordering some people below, and as leo confirms. "this confirms that reincarnation does exist, for me."

"yeah.. Anyways, will it start soon?" leo said

"yes, it will--" ken said, before he was being interrupted by another soldier coming in

"sir, we have a problem." the soldier said, before ken follows the soldier outside the observation room

"sir, it seems we have a breach." the soldier said

"what?!" ken said, alarmed. "everyone, code red! To your battle stations, now!" ken shouted at the soldier

"yes sir!" the soldier salutes, before leaving him

"guys, we have trouble. If possible, we should evac." ken said, after entering the observation room again, with a troubled face

"but how did they ever figure out this base in the first place?" ivan said, concerned

"i dont know." ken said, while wiping his face with a handerchief

"wasnt this facility a secret?" ruby said as she stood

"yes.. I dont know!" ken said, now very worried

"calm down soldier, lets all think all this through." leo said

"yes, you are right. Thanks. And on that note, what would be your wisdom in this sir kevin?" ken said

"its leo now. Anyways, lets solve the questions first." leo said, with a calm serious face

"yes, the first question would be, how did they ever figure this place out?" hikari said

"i think the possibility exists that you might have an inside mole, or that documents for the facility is already present for piblic view." leo said

"you may be right. So, what do we do now?" hikari said

"have you checked if we can ever contact the outside?" leo said

"no, apparently not." ken said, as he checked his phone. "no signal."

"then there is the possibility that someone might be waiting on the other side of the evac tunnel or something." leo said

"yes, so the best solution now is to wait here and defend ourselves. Am i right?" ken said

"correct. Everyone must arm themselves first." leo said, as he now stood. "and dont erase all the research data in the facility, unless either me or you say so." he added, as everyone agrees

"alright everyone, to the armory." ken said, as he signals everyone to follow him

With that, they now followed ken to the armory, where leo also passed along some handguns to the three.

"but why do we get handguns, and you guys some high powered ones?" ruby said, curious

"just what did we train for ruby?" leo said, as he handed her a handgun

"oh.. I could only use handguns for now, due to my build. Teehee." ruby said

"so why do you get 2 handguns?" ivan said, curious

"dont you know? In the past, kevin yu is known to be known by many names, including the dual blade. Meaning hes a dual weilder." ken said with enthusiasm. "i was a fan of kevin yu back in the day."

"i see what you mean." ivan said, as he saw leo handle the 2 guns with ease

"alright! You guys ready?" leo said, before everyone agrees

"lets go!" ken said, as a signal to start the operation
