The final wave can be seen on the horizon. The security soldiers are outnumbered but with Blackshot at their side, they might still have a chance to survive the attack.

Blackshot and the a group of security soldiers were at the frontline. The Exterminator was also positioned in front. The Windwalkers and the rest of the Zexal Team were in the middle part of the defence army. Higuit and the others were on the last line.

As soon as the first wave of enemies came in, Blackshot took cover to a nearby flipped table. Multiple security soldiers are already dead. Blackshot peeked at the enemies and opened fire, taking down the first wave.

"I need a backup!" Blackshot screamed as he saw the wounded security soldiers crawling on the floor.

Five soldiers were still alive under his command. He knew that once the second wave came, they won't survive the attack.

"We don't have any soldiers left!!" One of the SecSergeant says.

Blackshot gripped his rifle tightly. He stared at the soldiers who are still alive.

"Let's fight to the end!! Remember your duty, remember who you are working for!!" He screamed as the second line of gangsters came close at them.

Blackshot and his opened fire at the incoming gangsters. Both sides bled as the battle goes on until Blackshot and the Exterminator dispersed the second wave.

Multiple corp Agents pulled the wounded back to patch them on the Infirmary. The third attack was about to begin when Higuit rushed towards him.

"We got a problem." She says.

"Yeah what is it?" Blackshot asked.

"Our comms link is down. I'm afraid we are isolated but in the meantime, the engineers will fix the comms line in order to get to communicate with others."

"Right. Call me if you guys need something."

Higuit walked back to her position when Jem approached her.

"I can fix the comms link." He says.

"You can? How?"

"Just let me work up there and as long as you give me materials that I need, then it would be fixed sooner than you thought."

"Then show us what you got."

Jem rushed to the staircase which will lead him to the roofdeck. Meanwhile, Blackshot and the Exterminator set their aim at the incoming enemies.

"Blackshot, how many waves do we have to survive?" Jeth says.

"Ten!!"

Blackshot opened fire at the enenies as soon as they got into their range. He sent multiple men down. As soon as the enemy gained a foot on the entrance, he have no choice but to retreat to the middle position.

Blackshot ran towards the Windwalkers and the Zexal Team. The Exterminator was already destroyed by the gangsters. Multiple bullets were shot at him but his luck doesn't always runs out. He aimed at his enemies blindly and opened fire, taking down three.

As soon as he reached the midpoint, Windwalker and the Zexal Team opened fire at them, taking them down.

----

Jem was already in the top of the building. The engineers were fixing up the sattelite dish which was shot multiple times.

"What happened here?" Jem asked.

"The gangsters have managed to shoot the dish, rendering it to be useless."

"Let me fix that. Hand me over your smartphone." Jem says.

The engineer shot him a questioning look but he handed him his phone. The wind blew harder as seconds goes by.

----

The fourth wave of enemies began their attack. Multiple corp soldiers on the mid section have been killed already in a short seconds of time. Blackshot and the rest opened fire in an attempt to drive them away. They stood their ground against the enemies.

"I don't think we could defeat them!!" Five says.

As soon as Five ended his sentence, a bullet passes through his chest.

"Five!!" Three screamed as she rushed towards him.

A hail of bullets rained over Five, killing him.

Three got mad of what happened. She aimed at the gangsters and opened fire at them.

The attack ended when the gangsters were all dead. But shortly, the fifth attack began.

----

Jem grabbed a USB Adaptor to connect the sattelite dish and the smartphone.

"Tell Higuit that the comms link is ready." Jem says.

One of the engineers rushed towards the exit door to enter the building. He took the stairs that will lead him directly to Higuit.

Weapon Vault

Tony equipped a huge body armor called 'ShiftAlt'. His bodyguards also equipped the same body armor. Tony grabbed a FP6 Shotgun and some extra shells. His bodyguards picked a Stoner 63 Assault Rifles and some extra clips.

"Alright, if those guys wants war, we'll give 'em war!!" Tony says as he pumped his shotgun.

----

The team overcame the fifth attack without any casualties. The sixth wave came shortly after they killed the last enemy in the fifth attack. Blackshot opened fire at them. As soon as he downed a couple of enemies, he ran out of bullets.

"That's just great." He says as he tossed his rifle on the ground.

Blackshot switched to his Tac-12 and opened fire at the enemies. More and more enemies are pouring inside the ground floor, forcing them to retreat to the staircase. Three decided to take the fight to them as she charged and opened fire. But suddenly, hails of bullets landed on her, killing her.

"We're losing men already, don't get yourself killed!!" Zexal 1 screamed.

----

The engineer delivered the news to Higuit. She immediately rushed to the rooftop to see what Jem was doing.

----

"Be strong, let's fight 'til the end!!" Blackshot screamed.

The team defended the staircase. The multiple gangsters are pouring in but the team managed to push them back away from the building.

"Fight 'til your last breath!!" Blackshot says once more as they managed to kick out the enemies away from the building.

The team fired at the remaining gangsters, surviving the sixth attack.

"Good job, guys, but the fight--" Zexal 1 didn't have the chance to finish his speech because of the sniper who shot his head.

Blackshot saw the sniper who was hiding on a bush across the street. He aimed at him amd opened fire.

"Retreat!!" Zexal 4 screamed as he immediately retreated back.

The team walked back to the staircase when the seventh attack takes place. Multiple gangsters pours in. They immediately opened fire at them.

The gang manages to push them towards the second floor as the gang decided to shove them up, killing Zexal 6 in the process.

The last line of defence, which consists of remaining security soldiers and corp Agents decided to join the battle.

The fight goes on for minutes but they eventually won the fight.

----

"Tell them we need all the help we can get." Higuit says as Jem proceeded typing on the smartphone and sent it to the other Electrolite Corp buildings.

He pressed the send button and then waited for a few seconds. The phone rings back.

"They'll be here by three hours."
