The next day. An old tower with advanced technology with a ring around it stands majestically in the middle of the red sea because of the huge scientific waste, the surface of the water is full of carcasses and bones of sea animals. The tower is full of Scientists who are now Destroyers. The atmosphere there is very scary, disturbing and makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up, no one wants to live in a place like that.
Then the Crimson wing plane approached at a steady speed. The door opened slowly, Voltrania, Casandra and Lisa prepared to jump into the tower. They tracked the coordinates they got, eventually leading them here, They looked around the tower carefully for signs of danger. There was a giant eel with tentacles full of eyes and a shark tail surrounding the tower like a dragon protecting a princess in a castle like a fairy tale, the creature had several tentacles whose suckers were human eyes.
Cassandra examined the Destroyer with her device carefully.
"According to the examination, the Destroyer is a Middle-Beast, it can see in all directions because of its many eyes."
Lisa stared at the Destroyer sarcastically. "Huh... we are like knights who will save a princess in a tower with Dragons around. This is our unique mission, maybe we will remember it someday."
Voltrania stared sharply at the place. Scanning for possible victims.
"Okay, we will split up. You take care of that disgusting creature Lisa. Cassandra and I will go in to find the person who gave the message." She said calmly.
They both nodded in agreement, they knew this wouldn't be easy, but they had to complete this mission no matter what. Finally, the three of them dove down. Voltrania pulled out her spear and pointed the tip forward to make their way in. Voltrania and Cassandra broke through the large window, landing in the hall of the tower, strangely the hall of the tower was at the top, Cassandra realized that the entrance was not from the bottom up, but from the top down.
Voltrania held her sword sheath tightly.
"Let's move." She said flatly.
Cassandra nodded.
"Yes, I hope our activities go smoothly."
With that the two of them walked deeper into the tower without any disturbance, Cassandra tried to check the electricity to try to turn on the lights, but it didn't work, she turned on the flashlight to light their way. Meanwhile Lisa was still floating in the air, gathering a gravitational field in her right hand, ready to punch the big Destroyer.
"FEEL THIS LOWLY CREATURE!!!!" She shouted.
Punching the Destroyer's body so hard that it was thrown down, Lisa floated back up and gathered a large gravitational field in her hands and feet, ready to beat the creature like a punching bag.
"This isn't over!!" She shouted again.
The monster fought back with all its eye tentacles, attacking Lisa from all directions, even spraying lava ink from its mouth. Lisa could easily avoid all of those attacks, she parried all of them, even throwing small debris of the building at her.
Back to Voltrania and Cassandra's side. The two of them walked down the tower's hallway in silence, occasionally the sound of cracks on the floor they stepped on, also the sound of dripping water around them. The stench of corpses could be smelled from all directions, some parts of the walls had grown moss. It was hard to believe that someone would ask for help from here. Without warning. A Dog with a baby's hand on its cheek attacked them from the front. With her quick reflexes, Cassandra burned the monster using a fireball in her hand. The monster's body fell to the ground and was destroyed instantly.
Cassandra looked at Voltrania.
"Maybe we should be careful here too."
Voltrania nodded slowly.
"Right, don't let your guard down."
Suddenly they heard the screams of several Destroyers and the sound of slashing, They ran towards the sound to find the source. After a few minutes, they arrived in a large hall where various Destroyers were there. In the middle of the room was a female robot with a robot dress and a face like a medieval knight's helmet and had no legs but floated, her body was black, white, gold and blue. Killing the Destroyers with long blades in both hands, her movements were graceful but dangerous. Monster organs were scattered everywhere, blood flooded the floor like paint.
Voltrania and Cassandra were shocked to see the scene, they wondered if its was the one asking for their help? Maybe. They decided to stay silent, not wanting to interfere until its was done. After everything was clean, the robot stared at them both sharply.
"Intruder detected! Identification...species: Human, gender: female!" The robot said.
Cassandra was shocked to hear it.
"HAH!! We are not intruders. We received a message requesting help from here."
The robot pointed its blade at the two of them. "Intruders must be destroyed."
Cassandra took out her scythe.
"Voltrania, let me take care of this. It doesn't seem like this is what we are looking for, you continue the investigation."
Voltrania nodded, she turned and ran leaving him to deal with the robot. Cassandra began to attack by launching several fire slashes, but the robot parried all of the attacks. Cassandra took a step back, only to jump upwards, the reactor on her back emitting a burst of fire. She flew to a floating platform, from which she launched a barrage of pure fire shots that radiated from the tip of the scythe. The robot dodged with a smooth movement but hit the floor hard as one of the energy wings on its back was partially burned.
Cassandra asked while remaining vigilant. "State your identity"
The robot replied flatly.
"I am the guardian of this place." She flew again, and this time faster. In an instant, she appeared behind Cassandra, her blades striking from two directions.
KRASSHH!
Cassandra's reflex shield activated just in time, deflecting the first attack, but the second managed to graze her left arm. Blood and metal exploded together. Cassandra twisted her body and slammed her knee into the enemy's midsection. A thud was heard as metal and armor collided.
Meanwhile. Voltrania entered one of the open doors, inside it was full of partially burned files, scattered on the table, She looked at the photos on the wall. There were photos with scientists, there was a photo of one of the scientists having a test, and other photos. But there was one that caught Voltrania's attention, a photo of a blonde girl with a little white-haired girl, like siblings playing under a tree.
She stared at the photo for a moment, then she looked around again. She sat down on the dusty chair, took one of the files and notebooks that were still intact to read.
"Page 36: It's been 356 days, I've been protecting her for a year. I remember when she first came here with dad, she was scared and anxious. Then she decided not to come back here because this place wasn't suitable for her. That's why dad told auntie to stay at home to take care of her while we were on duty here."
Then there was a photo of a man with the two girls in the previous photo, the white-haired girl was holding a bow in one of the files.
"My dad and I came home during the summer, we were on leave from our jobs here. We decided to meet her at auntie's house, we were surprised and happy when we saw her getting several medals and trophies from the bow olympics. My dad and I were very proud of her."
Behind the sheet of paper, there was another photo of the white-haired girl, this time she was standing on stage playing the violin.
"Hehe~ this is the first time I've seen her perform bravely in front of everyone, she has written several songs that have made everyone happy with her melodious voice and her playing has touched the heart."
On the last page there was a note.
"Get well soon, darling, so we can play together again." Signed Viol... The continuation of her name has been partially burned.
"Who is this Viol?" Voltrania asked herself, "I should keep this just in case it's important."
Voltrania closed the file and talked to herself. "Hmm, I can conclude that this tower is a laboratory. But unfortunately there are many burnt papers that I can't read, I have to invest this further."
She stood up, put all of it into her device inventory. Voltrania walked out of the room, walking back through the dark and quiet hallway again. After a while. She found a room. There was a worn-out mattress, a dusty bookshelf and several musical instruments such as a violin, piano, harp and broken flute. Voltrania found a dusty damaged diary on the bookshelf, the cover and some pages had been torn, this could be one of the valuable clues for her. She sat on the bed and opened the first page.
"Today is my first day at music school, I'm very nervous but also happy. I really want to be a famous musician who can make everyone smile with my music, I really want to make my father and brother proud."
Voltrania turned a few pages.
"Day 381. I can't believe I've been at school here for more than a year. I won several music competitions, wrote poems to be used as lyrics, and even passed exams with perfect scores. Sometimes I get 1st place even though it's only been twice because previously I only got 2nd or 3rd place. But I'm proud to have come this far."
Voltrania turned the last page.
"Hehe~ my life won't be long, but I'm happy to be able to make my father and older sister proud of me."
A different text was written underneath it in all capital letters.
"NO!! YOU WON'T DIE...I WON'T LET THAT HAPPEN."
Voltrania closed the book, feeling a little confused because many clues were missing. She put the book into her device inventory along with the other clues.
"If all the clues are combined...it means that not everyone in this tower is dead, some are still alive." She said.
"Page 36 is most likely the day they went through after the Injustice virus broke through here. The word "protected her" refers to someone protecting someone else here."
Voltrania realized something.
"The number three is often mentioned at the beginning of every page and the umpteenth day in all the clues I got, the number six is also mentioned twice at the end of the number, not only that. there is a number one in the diary that starts with the number three. The numbers eight and five can be combined to become 58 or 85."
"I can theorize that this tower has 6 floors, the first floor is at the bottom, in room 58 or 85 there could be someone who asked us for help, and that room is on the 3rd floor." She said while holding her chin.
"I could be wrong. But there's no harm in checking that part, right?" She asked herself.
She walked towards the location she had in mind while remaining vigilant. Back to Lisa's side. She was still fighting the tentacle eel seriously, feeling a little difficult because the monster seemed to have no blind spots because of its eye tentacles. She floated here and there so as not to be seen, but the Destroyer could see in all directions.
"Tch so you can see and read my movements? Smart enough. But you're just a creature that can't think." She said before pressing the button on her hand, making her entire body transparent. "Let's see how you handle this."
Lisa hit the Destroyer's body from all directions with her gravity waves, she punched and kicked it's body repeatedly without stopping. The Destroyer screamed in pain, she swung all it's tentacles in all directions trying to hit her, its even sprayed poison from his mouth into the air.
Lisa began to distance herself, she realized that this battle would take a long time, she also had to accompany Voltrania and Cassandra inside the tower, she decided to end it now. She floated right above the Destroyer, raising her hands to gather a very strong gravitational field.
"Time to finish you off." She said sarcastically. Finally she flew towards the Destroyer, hitting its face with very strong Gravity energy. The Destroyer's face was shattered into pieces, its skin was torn apart and scattered in the air. The pressure of the blow split the entire body of the Destroyer to its tail, even its tentacles exploded one by one due to the tremendous pressure from Lisa.
The giant's body fell down, causing a small earthquake around it and some pieces of the dam fell on its body, the Destroyer died instantly. Lisa landed on the ground, wiping some parts of her clothes that were covered in dust.
"Huh ~ now I have to catch up with them." She said while wiping the sweat on her forehead.
But when she was about to leave, she saw an unknown drone on one of the corner balconies of the tower. Suspicion and curiosity began to fill her body, she jumped towards the drone, landing right behind it. Lisa examined the drone carefully, touching its body which turned out that the engine was still hot, as if someone had just used it, but it was not a Crimson Wing drone. She realized that there were other people besides them coming to this tower, whether they were friends or enemies she didn't know before meeting them, but she would still be wary of them.
On the other side. Cassandra was still fighting the mysterious Robot fiercely, they made the walls and floor vibrate from their relentless clashes. The Robot stepped back for a moment, staring at Cassandra with a very protective feeling towards something.
Cassandra pointed her scythe at it.
"Who are you really?"
The robot answered with a female voice again. "I am the guardian of this place, I protect this place from the monsters formed from men here."
Cassandra asked again.
"Listen, we come in peace. We got an anonymous message asking for help from here."
The robot was shocked.
"What? In this place there is no one alive except me and..." "Anyway, no one sent that message to you."
Cassandra asked once more.
"What is your name?"
The robot put the blade back into its hand.
"My name is....VIOLENCE!!"
