Gates hands were covered in fiery coding, Gate was editing pieces of the coding in Cyberspace and putting his own in it.
Gate: Took you long enough to show... Redips.
Redips came out of the shadows, with his hands behind his back.
Redips: Gate, how long until it's complete?
Gate: Soon Redips, soon.
Redips: Once we're done, I can rule the world to which only the strong may thrive. But I question Gate: Why aren't you interested in doing such?
Gate: Power is already within my fingertips. All I want to do is manipulate the world to my whim. You can rule over the survivors. Just leave me with my experiments.
Redips: Whatever Doctor.
Ninetails stomped on the floor, angry
Ninetails: You were working with Redips all along?!
Gate side glanced at him with an unimpressed face.
Gate: Seems you snooped in on a private conversation. But to answer your question, yes. Me and Redip's goals align enough so we could work together.
Ninetails: Wait until I tell Ep-
Ninetails stopped and held his chest and he was lifted. Gate had his hand outstretched and with a motion of turning it into a fist, crushed Ninetails a tin can. Blood gushed everywhere and onto the floor.
Gate: That'll shut you up.
Sage Harpuia: Run that plan one last time Echo?
Echo: Ciel was kind enough to hand me a tracker on X who saw him go offline in the jungles of central Africa. Then it popped back up at Area Z as that was an oversight to not shield it from trackers. My belief is that he's in there, imprisoned or worse, tortured!
Fairy Leviathan: So how are we getting in? Even with our combined firepower, we would fall to the sheer amount of Hunters.
Echo motioned Ciel to the makeshift table and Ciel showed a map of the underground system of tunnels.
Ciel: You 6 will go there. But due to its depth underground, we won't be able to communicate or teleport you out once things get hairy.
Marty: Hmm a suicide mission to save X... Eh, did it once during the Maverick Wars, can do it again.
Echo: Alright, send us the coordinates so we can teleport to the entrance of the tunnels.
Ciel motioned Cerveau to power up the teleporter. The teleporter hummed as the 6 Guardians teleported to the tunnel openings.
Echo: alright, lets go.
Marty: Allow me to take the lead.
Echo nodded and the Guardians followed behind.
Sage Harpuia: I hate tight corridors like this, can't even fly.
Zero held his face, feeling the newly placed eyepatch Lifesaver placed on him. He wanted a new eye, but due to the war with Repliforce, it strained resources so an eyepatch had to be done. Redips walked into Zeroes quarters.
Redips: You feeling alright Zero?
Zero: I'll live.
Redips: Zero, I found this on X. He told me to give it to you. I don't think it's important.
Zero: Just lay it on the table so I can see it afterwards.
Redips wanted to crush the drive in his hands, but doing so would make Zero suspicious of him. So he complied and put it on the table.
